Captured!

OOC: Anyone who wishes to join, please post that you wish to do so on the OOC thread. We still have room, especially for some females if you are interested.

IC: You are each going through your daily routines when you suddenly feel like you are frozen and cannot move a muscle. This discomfort last for only a few moments before you are blinded by a white hot light and are forced to close your eyes to the blinding glare. When you do open them, you find that you are no longer where you are supposed to be but in an unfamiliar room made entirely of some metal alloy.

There is one wall constructed of what looks to be glass but, when examined, has an almost pliable feel to it. However it is strong and sturdy and you know that it will not break as glass does. Looking out the window, you see trees and flowers of all kinds only the colors are wrong and you are not familiar with any of the shapes of them. It is a strange, yet wonderful sight.

Several chairs made of the same metal as the walls yet with padded seats are bolted to the floor around the room. No pictures adorn the walls and there are no light bulbs yet the room is lit and you can see clearly and notice that there are several others besides yourself in the room, looking just as bewildered as you. There does not seem to be a door but fresh air is being circulated in the room through vents that are carved into the metal wall instead of bolted on to it.

Before anyone can speak, you hear a booming voice throughout the room. "Mutations to begin in one earth hour. Please prepare yourselves." Then the voice falls silent and leaves you to ponder on what is happening.

"What mutations? What the fuck is this guy talking about?"

Frantically searching for an exit, pounding on the walls looking for a way to escape. Muscles buldging as my pounding becomes harder.

Just as I've lost hope a voice says, "Give it up its useless." This is the first time I realize I'm not alone. I take note of those around me, wondering why we are all here and what they need with us. Some kind of trick my friends are playing, I'm sure. I begin to look around the room for hidden cameras, realizing there is no where to hide one my mind begins to race with wonder at what is going to happen to us on this day.

I slump down against the wall and wait... Hardly able to take my eyes off the woman that sat across from me.

Sarah

I blinked. Once.

And pulled myself into a bundle of tightly wound nerves, like a cat ready to spring any instant. I looked around nervously, noticing the man pounding on the wall, and the others with a myriad of expression on their faces. I snarled and slunk my streetwise body along the walls, runnign trained fingers along the walls searching for an exit...

Trina

I sat there, watching everyone go crazy. Pounding on the walls or just searching them. My mind was still a blur. I covered my face with my hands, trying to block out the world so I could think. "Where am I?" I moaned into my hands..

The last thing I could remember was sitting in the police station, about to get booked for pick pocketing for the hundredth time. But now I was in some room. With people I had never seen before. And then the announcement about the mutations.

I was dreaming. I had to be. I had simply fallen asleep. This was all a dream.

It HAD to be!

 

[Always]

Sarah

i whirled around to stare at the girl wondering where she was. I dropped back, closer, to her and looked at her.

"Not so much to worry about where we are but what's going to happen to us.... people don't just get flashed away to strange places without cause..."

 

[Guest]

Trina

"So let me guess... this isn't a dream, right? We were really captured by aliens and right now we're in their ship and they are going to do horrible tests on us right?" I couldn't help the tone of my voice. The whole situation was just unreal.

Kelly "kid" Andrew

IC: One minute I'm on my knees at the graveyard, then this crazy feeling and then it feels as if someone has grabbed me. I try to fight back and then a FLASH of light! I blink my eyes, trying to clear them and realize I'm not alone!
"What the he...." I snarl, and reach for my knife, tears still streaming down my face, only it's gone.
The fog clears and I realize they're no threat, not yet.. and just as confused as I am, then this voice blurts out, "mutations in 1 hour, prepare yourselves" What does that mean,I wonder, not understanding the word, are they serving dinner?
I back into a corner and do what I do best, Hate....

Zephora Moor

Zephora moved cautiously around her desk, being careful not to upset the beaker with the blue liduid.

"Easy, easy" she said, as she carefuly spooned some yellow powder into the blue liquid. She hadn't gotten the reaction she was waiting for. She put the jar down and stared at her mixure. "Damn. Not again". Zephora sighed, picked up the beaker and walked over to the sink, pouring out the mixture. She was about to return to her desk when she felt frozen to the spot, and the beaker fell to the ground, smashing on the hard surface.

All of a sudden there was a flash of light and Zephora opened her eyes to a dull grey. She was no longer in her lab, but in a square room, cold and depressing looking. She stood up and walked in a circle. She saw chairs bolted to the floor. She looked closely at one of the walls. It wasn't like the other ones, it bended a bit. Zephora thought it was glass at first, but she noticed little pieces of something imbeded in the surface. Zephora made a face, her reflection showing her a pretty woman of 25 years with long black hair falling accross her shoulders and dark grey eyes, almost the same color as the walls of the room she was in. Zephora continued her tour of the room, touching the cool metal, trying to see if there were any dents or something that would resemble a door. She found none, and her frustration overtook her. She began to kick, and bang at the walls, she screamed at the top of her lungs, running out of breath. She slumped down on the floor, exausted and closed her eyes.

A sound of banging woke her from her dreamless slumber. Looking around she noticed more people have joined her. One man was baning on the walls, causing the great ruckus which woke her.

"Give it up, its useless" she tells him. He turns around, sees her and the others, then lets himself fall to the floor. Zephora gave the man a weak smile as she listened to two women talking about their situation. She overheard them saying something about a mutation in an hour. Zephora sat up, the exression on her face changing from confusion to terror.

Sean

Sean was observing everyone quietly in the corner of the metalic room. He was not sure what to make of all this. He remebers faintly going off a jump on his snowboard and crashing hard on the packed snow. Then he was here. His clothes were ripped. Looks like it was done by a shredder or some type of machine. He had marks on his chest and crotch area that was not there prior to snowboarding. He was sore all over. SOmething was done to him but... no memory. He waits with the others for that's the only thing that could be done... for now.

Janice Miller: Never Corner a Rat

"What the fuck?"

Janice dropped to a crouch, ready to attack any of the marks around her if they attacked. Ok, what happened? She'd been doing a john and suddenly ZAP... Then she reappeared in glass city. What the fuck was going on? Ok, first things first. The only other people in this room were as baffled as she was. One dumb fuck was even going on about a spaceship. One person was different though, the bitch in the white coat. She was telling people to give up because it was useless to struggle. Ok, so this was the cunt who brought them here? What the hell was going down? Some kind of weird-ass government op? Jimmy Sideways was always going on about them. She'd never understood... but maybe there was somethign in it. Her eyes flicked across the room looking for an escape, but there was none. So everything depended on this bitch. Janice could take her down, she knew it. But first she needed to know what was happening. She slunk into a corner and waited.

 

[Always]

"Uhhh... Spaceship? Yeah, whatever... What the hell are they talkin' about, this mutations shit..."

I sighed and leaned against the wall - nobody in the room looked too hard to take out, so I figured I was safe as I could be for then. I looked at the girl next to me. "So who are you?" I asked.

 

[Guest]

Trina

"My name's Katrina, but everyone on the streets calls me Trina." I looked around again at everyone. They looked as confused as I was.

"I just don't understand this. I was just in the police station, they were about to read me my rights and haul me down to a cell. Then I ended up here. I thought maybe I had fallen asleep." I shook my head. "But if I did.. this is one helluva shitty dream."

 

[Always]

"Iie, this is no dream... I can feel it."

Yeah so I had a funny sixth sense but that didn't have anythign to do with this did it? I hoped not.

"Well I'm Sarah... most people call me Shadow... And I was right in the middle of a call... shuriken right to his neck!" I sighed sorrowfully as I leaned my slim body against the wall.

I had on a skintight black catsuit made to absorb light and live within shadows. A few glints of silver shone through the antilight suit - my shuriken - as I flipped one in the air.

(uhhh... side note: shuriken are ninja stars)

 

[BLACK BART]

Kid

IC:i can't believe my eyes, people keep "flashing" in men, women and from the "gist of their lip" not a one has any idea what is happening, several of us "street" people are here, is this a coincidence or are we being set up for something, the hour warning the box gave us is close, real close. I get to my feet and begin to stretch, what or who ever this mutant is I want to be ready for it...

 

[boarder X]

Sean

Sean stood up, dazed. He started to walk towards the middle of the room. He stood there a moment and looked at everyone in the room. He started to introduce himself to everyone in the room. "My name is Sean" in a tired voice. "Looks like we are all in the same boat". An uneasy silence came over the group. Sean was in mid sentence when the marks on his chest suddenly started to bubble up. He look down in utter disbelief. He was not afraid but shocked at what was going on. His whole body began to shake. He had no time to be afraid. He looked up at everyone, wide eyed, "What...is...fucking...happe...". His bones began to detriorate from within. Blood and fluids poured out of his body. He flopped to the floor like a pile of dirty clothes.
Everyone looked on not knowing what to do or say. Then the voice that welcomed everyone boomed "Mutant experiment one: failure".

OOC: Ahem.

BoarderX, while your enthusiasm is appreciated, your playing nicely will be even more appreciated. There is an OOC thread in which all new players are requested to post their characters, as well as to read the guidelines for this thread. One such guideline, common to all threads, actually, is that you don't post things that aren't under the control of your character. In other words, please don't post things like your entire last post. We are assuming that your last post implies that you don't intend to actually be a part of this thread at all. In any case, I ask the other players to please ignore the nice young man's disintegration.

I kept looking at my watch, soon time would be up, and we would find out exactly who or what was being mutated. I clenched my fists together. Maybe all of those years of gymnastics and self defense classes I had taken while in foster care would come in handy.

"Well whatever it is, we're going to find out soon enough." I said this loud enough so everyone could hear me.

Michael Li

I find myself suddenly in a room, surrounded by people, and some blabber about mutations. What the hell is going on?

I had literally just got home from training, dumped my bag on the floor and then a bright flash...

Most of the people in the room were women. I didn't really know what to make of this. Also, most of them looked fresh off the street as well. Beggers, thieves, I didn't trust any of them. So I kept quiet while they discussed amongst themselves what was going on.

 

[Isolde]

The Captors

There was a shimmering in the middle of the room and a woman stood there looking, unblinkingly at the group. There was a kind of unreal quality to her and you notice that you can see right through her as if she were transparent. The best thing you can come up with for explanation is that this is some type of 3D Hologram.

The mouth opened and she begin to speak, the words not quite matching the mouth movements, as if you were watching an old Godzilla movie that had been dubbed into english.

The woman herself is extremely beautiful. She has long dark hair that is swept off of her face and falls down to her buttocks. Her eyes are a vivid lavander and her cheekbones are high and firm. She is slim and the dress she wears hugs her every curve as she moves to look at all of you. The dress plunges in front down to her navel, hinting at breasts that are ample yet still firm. The sleeves of the dress hug her shoulders but flare out as they reach her wrists, showing slim arms and long, delicate fingers. The dress is long and flowing and, were her image set on the floor it would be floor length. As it is there are slits up both sides that allow you to see that her legs are well shaped and her delicate feet are incased in open toed high heels which show off the shape of her legs.

Her voice, when she speaks is melodious and and very feminine. "Greetings,"She begins,"You we do welcome. Our pleasure it is to your aquaintance make. Please to make use of our facilities. Find you will that your voice commands will our machines work. Name you what you will to eat and provided it will be. Escape is possible not and try it will do you no good. Please to understand we needing of your assistance are. Alone you are those that save our planet will. Mutations begin in fifteen of your minutes and harm you they will not but give you what many dream of it will. Relax and go faster things will fight and painful it will be."

With that the form shimmered and was lost, leaving you alone with her words and your own thoughts.

"this nutball's speakin in fuckin' iambic pentameter..." i whispered, kinda stunned. my mind was attempting to procces what she'd said - at first i thought she was a ghost but even a spirit owned has some sign of... well, life. i mean they've got a personality they just happen to be dead.

but this.... this was freaking me out. badly. i turned and looked at everyone, clutching my long black-handled switch i'd borrowed from Two-Bit that afternoon.

i guess i wasn't gonna be able to give it back anytime soon.


"so i'm gonna be an intergalactic hero or some shit? great. can i get some coffee?" i asked of the air and the metallic walls.

 

[Isolde]

Coffee, Tea or Me?

As Sarah spoke, the wall beside her seemed to part and a cup of steaming hot coffee came out riding upon a small shelf. The wall seemed to collapse and close over the area that the drink had come from after the shelf stopped moving out from it.

The coffee sat there, waiting for her to pick it up at which time the shelf would be pulled back and meld into the wall once more.

Sarah

(ooc: still trying to get used to the use of my name on here *grins*)

IC: I stared at it suspiciously and picked it up. My little nose twitched over the cup. Smelled like coffee. Good coffee, too, not too hot with enough sugar to choke a horse. I shrugged and took a sip.

(insert fake idea: And coughed, spraying the brown liquid all over the metallic walls.

"Gods that's the nastiest coffee I've ever had!!!!" back to real thread)

Hmm.... freshly brewed coffeeeeee... I leaned against the wall, a bit more relaxed and not as blade happy*

 

[BadForm]

Janice; Mass Hallucinations

Ok, what shit was this? First some bitch shows up in seethrough skin talking crap, like some kinda ghost that dropped a tab. Then one of these freakouts asks for coffee and it pops outta the damn wall. It had to be the bitch in the white coat, Janice was sure of that. But what the hell was she up to? She let her hand dive below her belt inside the rags she wore for clothes. Yes, the old knife she'd found in the gutter was still there. It had saved her life more than once, and if this bullshit didn't stop soon, she was gonna have to rely on it once more. Perhaps some of the goons here would join in once they figured out who was running the show. Not that Janice could understand why they hadn't spotted it already. After all, the bitch was the only one who didn't seem frightened. Hell, she'd even told them it was futile to resist.

This is getting really crazy. Free coffee? I feel like I'm in the waiting room from hell. Everyone's still freaking out but for some reason I'm strangely calm. Maybe I'm just crazy or something.

So I sit there silently, biding my time waiting for my death.

Trina

I had watched in amazement as coffee had drifted out of nowhere.

"That's fuckin cool as hell. I wanna try." A wonderful idea sprang into my mind.
"Ok.. I want a full Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, green beans, homemade rolls, and pumpkin pie. And don't slack on the gravy."
