Re: Team Zlayerz RPG: Identity Theft!
OMG I'M ON MY LAPTOP :O
Meh, I'll continue this as best I can, seeing the current interest...
continuing...
Team 1
Well? Speak, my friends, beamed the Gaul chief.
Okay, I kinda...no, I DO have a question, or two...have you seen any shady characters around these parts? mumbled Die-Ceratops.
I have seen Roman forces trying to infiltrate our village often, said Vitalstatistix. But they are not too bright. Or strong. Other than that, nothing.
Well...you know about our quest, Mr. Vitalstatistix...right? said Flick.
Actually, I have not, said Vitalstatistix. But you may fill me in on the role you play here.
Right... said Flick, and he informed the chief about pretty much everything that had happened to them...the meeting with Kody, the Watcher thrashing around in its 'cage', the titanium gears, Taki (Taki gave a wave of her wedge as she was mentioned), the evil Emperor Geki, and the chief Centurion and the rogue servant Tira whom they met both. Silence followed for a few minutes, and Flick backed as the chief digested all this information.
I think he thinks we're completely nuts, said PMPY in a low voice.
I am proof we cannot be seen as liars, said Taki, equally audibly. I am not from around here, you see.
Eh, he can say you're just disguised as a rogue from the east, whispered PMPY.
I gave too much info, said Flick. So I think not.
At last Vitalstatistix spoke. Well, your story is quite absurd, he said. Your adventures and dealings with beings unknownst to me can come as nothing to me but a mockery of false tales brought to us long ago.
There were an obstinate silence after this dreadful pronouncement...
...broken by the sound of the chief. He was laughing! Do not worry! I believe it all, as I can see you have no reason to lie to me. I can sense your hatred for the Romans, and that is enough for me.
After another silence, this one seemingly louder than the last, Die-Ceratops then voiced his second question. Do you...then, perchance, have like an...artifact of some sort?
Could you possibly mean this? At that, Vitalstatistix held up something rather large and shiny...and familiar...
It's one of those titanium gears! cried PMPY.
Ah, then that is the question, isn't it? mused Vitalstatistix. Should I, or shouldn't I give this to you?
Um, please do! exclaimed Flick. We need it to save others who might be afflicted by that unknown hacker!
Well... The chief paused, considering his options. At length he spoke again. Let us make a compromise. If you help us Gauls win our freedom from our enclosed encampment here then I shall gladly give you this mighty object, as that will be final proof your story is true; if you are true heroes, then you will help us prevail. However, if you do not help us, or if you fail beside us, you will be banished from the village.
He was then shocked as all five told him, at once: We WILL help.
You made up your minds so swiftly, didn't you? laughed the Chief.
We have no choice, even if you told us we did, said Taki.
And we can't leave our friends behind, said Nitro-Gene. No matter how much Joey bugged me before.
That's true, said Flick. Say, Chief, what colour is your - OW!
Marti, not good a time, snarled Die-Ceratops, having just smacked him in the side. Hard.
Don't...do...that... Flick groaned (Martijn's eyes watering in pain).
So, then, what were your plans? asked PMPY.
We didn't have one, said Asterix sadly. They can't get in, but we all can't get out at once, which is what we want to do. We don't want the Romans hounding us everywhere we go, constantly. We want to be let alone.
So...who wants to go to Rome and kick some Roman butt? shouted Nitro-Gene.
Not so fast, Paul! barked Flick. We need a better plan than to just go to their doorstep and get caught there trying to fight them. We need more allies...
...oh yeah! We need the others, don't we? said Nitro-Gene.
And Tira, as well, Taki growled. I want to know why she's here and why she turned against us. An answer to that still has not formed in my mind.
Personally, I'd rather like to bash down the whole Roman empire, but it would be impossible with our numbers, said Asterix. They have tens of thousands of soldiers...
Mkay, us seven will vote our on objective. Is that fair, Chief? said Flick. You and Asterix can tell us what you wish to do, as well. You are the strongest Gauls in the village, after all.
I would vote for breaking them down instantly, said Vitalstatistix, before they knew what had hit them. A sudden rush into the onset is the best route to me. What say you, Asterix?
Err...I really feel it's wrong to disagree with you, O Chief Vitalstatistix, muttered Asterix, but I stand by what I said about our numbers being too few.
Right, that's one vote for each... said Flick. Now it's our turn.

Team 2
The group looked at each other, and then back at Tira.
Lock her in, said Nidhogg. She can have nothing.
Good idea, said NSBFR-X.
Huh? What are you thinking of? hissed Tira, and she stopped thrashing instantly. She had become rather quiet...and cold. You think I'm claustrophobic or something?
Shut it, snarled Nidhogg. And get in there. You can come out only when you decide to tell us stuff.
Tira laughed. Lame. I could stare at nothing for several weeks and remain fine. You suck at torture methods.
Oh, this shouldn't be a problem, then, said Nidhogg brightly, and he shoved her inside, quickly locking the hovel up after the rest of the group had exited. They could hear humming from the hovel.
Nutcase, said Clawdius. We should have used the Comfy Chair.
If she's really resilient, we'll resort to that, said NSBFR-X. Now, what do you say about healing these two first?
Greatest plan ever, groaned Tengu. Look around, will you?
Nah, you two come with me, said Nidhogg. And THEN we'll look around. You guys make sure she doesn't escape, please.
Righty-o, said Clawdus. The humming from inside the hovel had stopped.
It took Nidhogg a little while to find all that he needed, but after some scavenging around the outskirts of Lutetia, he had found quite a bit of useful stuff.
This will do, said Nidhogg happily as he, Tengu, and Tsunami looked upon their scraps. Five Tool Kits, three Power Boosts, and a Drive Boost had been collected.
Joey, you must have outdone yourself, said Tsunami. I feel faint...ugh...
Wait, no! said Nidhogg loudly, and he quickly administered one of the Tool Kits to Tsunami. The effects were instantaneous; Tsunami had fully recovered, and his flipper had returned, back at full strength.
That must feel so damn good, said Tengu. Gimme one, willya?
Once Tengu had recovered, they hurried back to the group. Tira was humming again, but they could hear a note of panic behind it now.
Right. Bottoms up, Frank and Steve, said Nidhogg.
Hey! What about me?! growled Mechavore, as NSBFR-X and Clawdius returned to full strength.
I need one more than you do, snapped Nidhogg. You're almost at full health to begin with.
Mechavore grunted, but made no further argument as Nidhogg too began to heal himself. Once that was done, he turned to the others.
So, how's she doing? he asked.
She's like a vegetarian confronted with haggis, laughed Clawdius.
There is a veggie haggis... said NSBFR-X, who had to stop himself from laughing as well.
I CAN HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW!!! yelled Tira from the hovel.
WE DON'T CAAAAARE... Clawdius shot back, in almost a sing-song voice.
How long before she cracks? said Mechavore.
2 more minutes, I'd say, said Nidhogg.
...15 seconds, smirked Tsunami.
Now they could hear whimpering behind the hovel.
Seems a little cruel, but I guess it's worth it, said Tsunami.
I can be very cruel, Tsunami, replied Tengu, his blades glinting. I cut a rope suspending a 16-ton weight over top of my aunt.
The others were shocked.
Oh don't worry, it missed by a mile, yawned Tengu. If this little vermin in there couldn't endure pain, I'd have her in so much pain it'd be unfair to those who do enjoy pain.
...you can really do that? remarked Nidhogg, startled.
I'd be glad to show you, answered Tengu mischievously. Unlock the door after she tells us what we want, and I can have her begging for mercy at our...er, wheels. If you want. I'm sure you all do.
They looked towards the hovel for a moment.
Hmm...I haven't felt this evil in a while, sneered NSBFR-X. Shall we?
Let's, snarled Clawdius.
NOOOOOOO!!! Instantly, the hovel was smashed against from the inside. LEAVE ME ALOOOOOONE!!!
Sorry, but you made up your mind, and we've made up ours, said NSBFR-X pleasantly.
NO! NOOOOOOOO! ...ALL RIGHT, FINE...JUST DON'T HURT ME...PLEASE... Sobbing noises were heard.
And we haven't even touched her yet... NSBFR-X was quite nonplussed.
So you lied earlier...you can't take pain... said Nidhogg slowly.
Oh good, I can show you how cruel I can be, then, Tengu growled.
NO! DON'T, PLEASE... Tira sobbed
Then speak! barked Nidhogg. He turned to the others. Guys? What should we get the little scamp to spill?
I have some things... smirked Clawdius.

Just as Team 1 asked Vitalstatistix for info about himself and the gauls, so now you, Team 2, must ask Tira for info about herself...again, two questions each.
