======> ADONIS: STALKYou are a mighty predator, one of the fearsome fangbeests that stalked your desert on Alternia. Today, you are hunting a very specific prey... MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Failow...
MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Oh, Failow... [/color][/center][/font]
You mask your voice, making it low and hissing. You also happen to know how to throw your voice, so you're doing that too. Using your growing knowledge of the meteor and its various spaces and rooms, you're currently stalking about the last place you had last seen him. You're wearing unusually dark and drab clothes, allowing you to blend into the dull colors of the corridors much easier than your usual fancy dress. You're even using pants for once.
You're also getting a little carried away.

==> wait what was that
You pause from meticulously scrubbing some sort of terrible green sticky film off of a counter and glance around. You heard something, you totally heard something. It was faint but it was there. A hissing sound maybe. Almost-silent footsteps. If you had to guess, and you sort of did since x-ray vision isn't a real thing, you'd say it was probably another lab monster that escaped from its tube. Fucking great, you would have to do something about that before it could sneak up on you. Shouldn't be too hard.
==> equip a weapon
You open your strife deck and equip a knife. Glancing around again you slowly head for the door, switching the fluorescent overhead lights off as you slip out of the room.

======> ADONIS: Be the fangbeest.You drop to your belly on the floor when you see a light go out, huddling into the corner of the floor, and listen intently. From this distance you can't hear anything. Perhaps it'd be best to get a better vantage point. ======> ADONIS: Equip MAGNETOCLAWS.You open up your captchalogue and select the bag your trusty MAGNETOCLAWS are in, slapping them on and promptly begin climbing up the side of the wall sideways, watching for any movement in the darkness of the corridor you're in. Mostly made of strong magnets that can be powered on and off, you alchemized these beauties out of necessity of further exploring the meteor, allowing you privy to some pretty neat, otherwise inaccessible stuff hidden about its countless nooks and crannies. MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Failow...
MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Don't look behind you, Failow... [/color][/center][/font]
Your eyes adapting the the near pitch blackness of the corridor, you wait for your prey to make his next move.

==> STAB IT STAB IT NOW
Stab what? You don't know. Whatever it is though, you will motherfucking stab it as soon as it shows its horribly monster face. You will show it your stabs, all of them. Every single one. And then you will dispose of the body, clean up the blood, and go back to your block. That's a good plan. An excellent pla-
==> KILL IT ALREADY
You're working on that. You keep hearing sounds and you dunno where they're coming from but they're sorta freaking you the gog damn fuck out.
You proceed down the hallway, sidestepping along the wall with your knife raised. Occasionally glancing behind you, you still haven't spotted the fucker.

======> ADONIS: Resume STALKINGYou resume climbing up the side of the wall, the magnetic pads and claws clacking against the dull grey metal, where you soon cling to the ceiling, huddled inconspicuously in the corner against the wall. You stare into the blackedness of the corridor, your eyes adjusting enough to see shapes in the darkness, and you think you spot movement. ======> ADONIS: CACKLE MENACINGLYYOU DO. And LOUDLY. Despite the original source being from an ancient human videogame, you had mastered in replicating it perfectly, even reproducing the electronic flange. You can't help but feel a little SANITY-CHALLENGED afterward, though you refrain from overusing your NEWFOUND POWER. You had thrown it accordingly, making it sound like it's coming from further down the corridor than you are. You just know the brownblood is quaking in his choice of footwear. Oh crap you forgot your dufflebag on the floor. [/center] |

==> STAB STAB STAB
Okay, okay. You swing your knife around in front of you a few times, though you don't actually hit anything. Whatever's out there is still hiding and you aren't sure where. It could be anywhere. Above you, in the walls, below the floor, in a vent. You just don't know, and that just adds to the terror.
==> QUICKLY AROUND THAT CORNER
You press your back to the wall and as you're about to pop out around the corner and possibly maim something you hear a horrible, electronic cackle. You freeze and nervously glance around. It sounded like it was further ahead but now you don't wanna go any farther. You sort of just want to slink back to your block and curl up under a counter and wait for it to leave.
==> NO FUCKING KILL IT DEAD
It obviously knows your here and it'll see you going back inside. Better to just kill it now.
You shakily inch forward.

======>
You inch forward when you see who you assume to be Failow do so, quietly dragging yourself forward on the ceiling as you can. Your magnetoclaws's claws are clacking a little too loudly, however. Honestly you have no idea why you added them, most surfaces being too sheer for any real grip in the meteor except for the occasional seam or ridge. Either way, they make your sneaking too difficult, so you stop and wait instead.
======> ADONIS: BRAINBULB ENGAGE
You remember your dufflebag. You wonder if you can reach it from the ceiling, planning to undo one side of it strap and just drag it along the floor to distract your prey. You move into an upside-down crouching position, engaging the the magnets on the bottom of your feet because you don't think the magnets are strong enough by themselves. Then, you gingerly let go of the ceiling and hang upside down completely, and promptly become distracted by the sensation of your jade blood settling in your headball. Shaking off the small blackout, you reach for your dufflebag, hoping Failow doesn't suddenly grow rumble spheres and start sprinting towards you.

==> HEY
...
==> LISTEN
Did you hear that? You heard that. Somewhere behind you. A clacking sound maybe, like metal on metal. What was that? Some horrible murderbeast stalking you? A room collapsing somewhere? Something in the walls? Perhaps you should find out.
==> TURN AND STAB
You slowly turn around, eyes nervously darting around, examining the darkness. You first notice something on the ground, then something hanging above it. You quickly charge forward with your knife raised. You will show that fucker your stabs, oh yes.

======> OH JEGUS FUCKYou should have seen it coming, but Failow's sudden sprint at you makes you panic. In an awkward upside down jump of surprise, you accidentally disengage the magnets, suddenly finding yourself dropping to the floor. Your hands busy held out to defend yourself, you find yourself landing on your head. NOT-SO-MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Oh gog, wait! Sto--
THUMP: *thump*
[/color][/center][/font]
And now you're lying on the floor out cold, your legs having landed on the dufflebag that would have likely saved you from your fate if you had remembered it sooner.

==> STAB THAT FUCKER DEAD
Before you can stop yourself and realize that's actually a troll you've already plunged your knife into his arm. Oops. And on top of that it looks like falling knocked him out.
==> well then
You quickly remove your knife and wipe it off on his shirt before putting it back in your strife deck. You stare blankly at him for a few seconds, letting the situation sink in a bit. You just stabbed a teammate. That's not going to look good when he comes to again. Then again, you could just abscond and pretend this never happened and hope you never see him again. But...
==> clean up the blood
He's sort of making a mess. Green blood is oozing from the wound and pooling on the floor. You hesitantly drag him off the floor and lean him against the wall before opening up your inventory.
==> get your cleaning supplies
You intently watch the highlight scroll over your items, waiting for the right moment...
==> NOW
You try to grab the mop but miss and end up with a stuffed musclebeast doll you found in a chest. That doesn't help the situation at all, though you suppose you could use it to soak up the blood a bit or something. You frown at the doll before glancing over at the other troll again. He's still out, and still bleeding.

======> ADONIS: Wake-- ow.
You stir with a groan. Your head feels like it's been split open and that you pulled a muscle in your arm. Sitting up and shaking your head, you become aware of the warm wet feeling and the nose-clogging smell of blood. You lift up your still gloved hand and see blood on it, then look up along your arm to see that you were stabbed. Of course, you can't help but notice the blood on your front that was unlike the steady soaking from your arm, this was smeared on you.
Looking up, you see who was supposed to be your prey holding a musclebeast plush. Compromising indeed. You stand up and step over to him.
======> ADONIS: HAVE ONE LAST HURRAH
You casually knock the plush out of his hands to the floor before reaching up with a hand to smear your jade blood on his cheek. Giving his lips an odd, long look, you then wordlessly take his face in your hands and kiss him.
And hope he doesn't stab you again.

==> what Wow hi there you were expecting sort of the opposite of that. Like, thr complete opposite. You thought he was just going to wake up and try to knock your block off for stabbing him. Not... wake up and kiss you. ==> what do Freeze like a small animal about to be torn apart by a predator, that's what do. You just sort of stand there, muscled tensed and eyes as wide as they can go. As he begings to pull sway you quickly grab his shirt and pull him back, pressing your lips together without thinking. ==> asdf You push him away, not sure of what to do now. FAILOW: I
FAILOW: uhm
FAILOW: sorry
FAILOW: about stabbing you I mean
FAILOW: even though its sort of completely you're fault
FAILOW: and stuff |

======> AGREEADONIS: Yeah.
ADONIS: I was originally going to drop behind you and bite your neck, but then I tripped on the ceiling.
ADONIS: After messing with you a little, of course.
ADONIS: So I had it coming.
[/color][/center][/font] You smile a little dazily at Failow, sort of awkwardly leaning against his shoulder with your non-bloody arm in support, catching yourself swaying a little again. Oh man your head hurts. You then look down at your arm to inspect it again, then down to the floor where you just stood up from. ADONIS: I am making a mess.

==> nod He is. You should probably actually be concerned about him bleeding out at this rate. You should probably take care of that and worry about the mess later. FAILOW: lets Huh
FAILOW: handle that
FAILOW: before you pass out or something You glance down at the wound. Judging from how much blood there is you'd say it's probably pretty deep. Shit. ==> be the medic FAILOW: take off your shirt |

======> You do so without question, thinking nothing of it having done so many times when Anguis patched you up. You first take off your MAGNETOCLAWS first, though, dropping them to the floor before slipping off your long-sleeved shirt, your symbol on its back. Even with your probably concussed brain, you refrain from saying that it's made from pretty expensive materials. You know, just because you can. ADONIS: Oh.
ADONIS: Here.
ADONIS: You can use this.
[/color][/center][/font]
You take out a large suitcase full of medical materials and equipment from your syllidex, most of which you don't even know how to use but still carry along just in case.
