Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:11:27 PM)
Albel lead them down into the drainage area, he was becoming pretty familiar with it now. Eyeing the controls quietly, as if pondering.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:13:13 PM)
If you're not sure, I can do it. *he murmers, quietly*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:13:55 PM)
He nodded then, gesturing to Oct.
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:14:17 PM)
Though he finally actually paid attention to how they work this time.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:14:32 PM)
(Eidetic Memory and Mechanical Aptitude...can I assume this is cakewalk after seeing it done previously?
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:14:47 PM)
(Yeah, he's got it)
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:15:15 PM)
*He flips the switches and levers and whatnot as if he's the one who built them. Entirely sure of himself*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:15:54 PM)
*Serendipity stood behind them, looking around, ears perked, literally, and shifting from foot to foot*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:16:24 PM)
"Fuckin' sidhe." He muttered, but still paid attention, then once the puddle was ready he'd step through first, claws raised a bit, ready to go if there was something waiting.
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:17:11 PM)
*Albel took them to pump station 81, an automated water table control hub. Familiar with the station by now, Octavian fiddled with the water level controls, flooding one of the large central tanks. The tank was then drained through a series of chimerical pipeworks until water spat out a lonely pipe near the control platform*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:17:51 PM)
*Through the redcap went, stepping into the water that came out of the pipe.
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:18:36 PM)
*The Cap sank neatly through the floor and out of sight*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:18:58 PM)
*He motions the pooka through next, and follows her if she does as ordered*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:20:08 PM)
*She fidgeted a bit but stepped forward, squeaking uncertainly*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:21:44 PM)
If there was nothing immediately obvious as a threat on the other side, he'd wait for Seren to appear then run his hands just an inch or so over the surface of her body, as if he was going to measure her or possibly feel her up. (bunk lvl for oakenshield?)
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:21:48 PM)
*Sinking into the puddle was a strange experience. A moment of weightlessness before all sense of time and space vanished. Some time later the Pooka would find herself on the rocky banks of an underground river. The others had been through this before, and were able to navigate their way to a soft landing*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:23:11 PM)
*Seren stamped her foot and glowered at Albel* I will chew you...
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:23:53 PM)
He got a good squeeze on her bum before backing off with a wink. "Hey you wanted an Oakenshield right?" (4 succ)
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:24:00 PM)
*Once he's through, he drops into military mode, immediatly going on alert, eyes swinging to cover as much a possible*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:24:41 PM)
*She growled a bit and grumped, swatting at his hands as she huffed*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:25:54 PM)
*They were alone on the river bank. The luminescent gems embedded in the floor and walls of the cavern did leave dark patches for hiding, but no one seemed to be watching*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:26:13 PM)
He grinned anyway, spitting on his hands next and rubbing them together a bit before patting his face and arms, muttering to himself.
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:29:24 PM)
He lead the way after he was done, claws up and ready, his stance a little lower to the ground and more pretatory as he moved toward the steps and then up if nothing popped in the way.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:30:13 PM)
*She quietly padded after Albel, looking and listening around intently for anything up ahead or any out of the norm sounds*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:31:38 PM)
*Oct takes up the rear, of course. Ready to be a meatshield if they get attacked from behind*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:32:13 PM)
*The rushing water nearby was more than enough to snuff out any other sound until they reached the stairs. The way was open, as they'd left it. It would seem guardians are not easily replaced. A long walk up the stairs took them to the steel cell door. Once open, it was now chained shut.
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:33:01 PM)
-vq- "Excepted..." He shrugged, looking around to see if there was a small hole the mouse form of their enlisted spy could fit through.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:33:15 PM)
*Getting to the door she crouched down to try and see if there was room around the door she could squeeze through*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:34:00 PM)
*There was more than enough room between the bars on the door*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:34:38 PM)
*Octavian, prepared this time, fishes chalk out of his pocket and starts drawing on the rock around the door. Preparing something perhaps, just in case. Whatever it is, it's intricate and taking -forever-*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:35:16 PM)
Someone take my clothes... *She looked around and began searching for a private spot to change*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:35:44 PM)
He glances to Oct, but that's not really odd in a changeling's world so he shrugs and nods to Seren. -vq- "I can hold em, deadpool is busy."
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:35:58 PM)
*The best she could hope for was a patch of stairs darker than the rest*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:36:30 PM)
*Well she hunkered down into the darker section as she tried to shift down then*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:37:05 PM)
Albel, perhaps surprisingly, didn't look...not that there was much left to imagine after feeling her up.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:37:17 PM)
(Ass :P *chuckles*)
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:37:28 PM)
(redcap!)
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:38:03 PM)
*He's far to busy drawing things to look*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:38:56 PM)
*She was able to shrink down to her dexterous little animal affinity and head back into the light*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 10:40:04 PM)
*And carefully scurrying down the steps she hurried over to the door, looking at it and at them before she began carefullly scurrying forward, keeping near the walls and looking around as she moved in that freakishly fast way little rodents could*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:40:54 PM)
He'd go get her clothes, as he'd said, piling them into a ball and shoving what he could of them into one of his larger pockets in the coat. He slipped back up the steps and watched the mouse scuttling about, waiting.
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:40:55 PM)
*The mouse was quickly out of sight, leaving the others to prepare for her return*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:43:40 PM)
*Yup, still drawing. An incredibly complex pattern of celtic style knotwork*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:45:19 PM)
Albel sighed and tryed to slowly reach out and feel out any signitures of glamour that are on the other side of the door, taking his time and really attempting to focus.
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:47:10 PM)
(Per/ken diff 5 there. Albel)
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:47:33 PM)
(only 2 succ, I gotta raise kenning sometime)
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:49:08 PM)
*The staircase was quiet other than their own personal noises. The flow of glamour was chaotic beyond the door. Signatures popped up and dissappeared often, all of varied strengths and durations*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:50:22 PM)
He frowned some, leaving deadpool to play with chalk and waiting, bracing himself a bit in his stance, just in case the staircase got smacked by a giant again.
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:55:08 PM)
*If the giant was there, it must have been sleeping. No way it could be this quiet while awake*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:55:51 PM)
He still kept a slightly braced stance, memories of concrete against nose didn't go away all that fast.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 10:56:18 PM)
*Play with the chalk he does. Like a champ*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 10:57:52 PM)
*The doorway was certainly looking festive!*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 10:58:45 PM)
Well as he can't possibly beat the sidhe's chalk coloring skill he eyes the chains instead, thickness, if there's a lock, etc etc.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 11:00:52 PM)
*Is bein' a mouse!*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:01:14 PM)
(so at least she's not around to chew on the chalk)
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 11:01:32 PM)
(could use her to sharpen it at least)
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:01:59 PM)
(true)
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:02:21 PM)
*The chain and padlock were your standard hardware store affair. Either it was a temporary solution, or someone was just lazy*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:03:13 PM)
He nodded some to himself, not messing with it now, that would be asking to get knocked down the steps. So he waited instead.
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:06:21 PM)
*The staircase remained uneventful*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:07:01 PM)
Yep, he waited, at least he could listen to Oct playing with his chalk...maybe he should bring sudoku next time...
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:13:26 PM)
*Outside sound entered the stairwell for the first time in a while. The frantic flick of tiny appendages against stone was nearing the door*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 11:14:28 PM)
*He starts finishing up his drawing, in that case*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:15:31 PM)
Albel raised his claws, waiting for the mouse to squeeze her way back through.
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:17:14 PM)
*The mouse came dashing back toward the door, pursued by a miniature cloak. The cloak was gaining ground, but the mouse simply outmanuvered it around the various obstacles littering the floor. She would make the door a few seconds ahead of the tiny cloak*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 11:18:54 PM)
*She was scurrying furiously forward, scampering at top speeds to flee from the shadow chasing her. Door! Door door door flee flee flee!*
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 11:21:32 PM)
*just gotta time this right...his convoluted and intricate bunk should help the casting of this cantrip, timed to finish just as the mouse clears the door*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:22:07 PM)
Albel was ready to go if the need arose, not that he had any idea what the hell was after the mouse.
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:26:55 PM)
.
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 11:27:09 PM)
*She hurriedly rushed to the door to squirm through and scurry to Octavian's shoe to climb onto it and hold for dear life to his sock*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:27:11 PM)
(Working out Octavian's bunk)
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:27:17 PM)
(ah okay)
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:27:27 PM)
(just wanted to make sure I hadn't froze up)
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 11:29:42 PM)
*Octavian holds up his hand, letting the glamour flow out and into the pattern he's drawn, willing the stone itself to heed his commands*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:31:14 PM)
*Just as Seren cleared the door, glamour began to gather around the doorway. It sparked up from Octavian's knot network and hung in the air. Before their eyes it solidified in the space between the bars of the door, filling them with stone. The cloak chasing her slammed its tiny body into the suddenly appearing rock, stopped dead*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 11:32:18 PM)
*There was the high-pitched gasping/squeaking sort of sound in rapid succession as she just circled around repeatedly on Octavian's shoe, wanting to get away now*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:32:24 PM)
"Good bunk lets go." He pushes on the sidhe with his palm so there's no risk of his gauntlets hurting him, waiting for the non-combantants to get moving.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 11:33:32 PM)
*He scoops up the mouse in the metal hand, and moves down the stairs, motioning for Al to take the lead. Fortunately, for an elf, he's pretty good over distances*
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 11:34:44 PM)
*She clung to one of the metal flingers and hunkered down in the hand as she was along for the ride*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:35:17 PM)
Albel shrugs and heads down the steps quickly, he recognized the cantrip, and knew it wouldn't last long.
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:35:25 PM)
*The river bank was clear, giving them an easy path back to the puddle that sparkled in the ceiling of the cavern. One little climb and they could return to the mundane*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:35:55 PM)
He headed up and back to the normal world, waiting for the other two.
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 11:36:50 PM)
*He follows, of course, after carefully stuffing the mouse into a pocket. There's cinamon sticks in there!*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:37:18 PM)
(Clean getaway. I'll be in the ooc for a big longer if you guys need anything/have questions.)
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:37:28 PM)
"Hey master of the controls." First thing he says when Octavian appears. "Turn this crap off." (thanks adver)
Serendipity Jones (Jan 19, 2011 11:37:37 PM)
*She sank down in the pocket and gnawed on the cinnamon sticks nervously, preferring to hide for the moment. Getting chased by a creepy cloak was scurry!*
Adversarius (Jan 19, 2011 11:37:41 PM)

Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 11:37:58 PM)
*he turns the thing off quietly, of course*
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:39:06 PM)
"Well, that was fun..." he was always too cheerful after those sorts of situations. "Back to the boat?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Jan 19, 2011 11:40:21 PM)
Back to the boat. Got this sneaking suspicion Serendipity won't come out of my pocket til we're home.
Delan ‘Albel’ Marshall (Jan 19, 2011 11:41:46 PM)
He nodded and lead the way out.
