Bromantic Lunch

[info]cynical_techie

We need a lighthearted thread to balance the soul-raping terror of System Shock. Also, Logan suggested he and Baird go grab lunch together after looting the casino.

Cue a Baird, in full armor this time, standing outside the restaurant, waiting for Logan to show up. Baird is a little early as usual.

[OOC: for Logan (Savagewhore)]

THE SYSTEM SHOCK THREAD

[info]sh0dan
Note: This is a serious thread. Keep lighthearted stuff away from this festival of horrors with a twenty foot pole.

This is also a horror thread. For purposes of setting a mood, the moderator requests that all players listen to a specific song whilst working on this thread. The song is "Deliver Us From Evil" by Allied Vision and can be found at www.myspace.com/alliedvision (please scroll down on the player to the very last song).

SHODAN also has access to the psych profile of every character. So be prepared for acute trauma. All players that have arranged a special 'scripted sequence' with the moderator are asked to be present here. Any other players may come in whenever they wish.

The corridors of the No Fandom Politics Dressing Room are not the same... the lights flicker on and off irregularly. In the light, one sees limbs scatterred across the floor. Blood smears across walls spell out "resist," "run" and "stay away." The stench of rotting flesh and wet iron fills the humid air.

A hospital. White tile and stainless steel panelling. Computers that are impossibly advanced rest on almost every wall. Screens are liberally scattered across the walls; occasionally the shortest flashes of a sinister face emmeshed in wires and data conduits appears.

We come to what appears to be a surgical room. The machine at the end houses a brown-haired, silver-eyed, slender scientist clad only in sneakers, a pair of jeans, a green T-shirt and a white lab coat. A screen on the machine reads:

NEUROGRAFT SURGERY: NEURAL CYBERSPACE INTERFACE IMPLANTATION
HEALING COMA INDUCED
COMA EXPIRES IN FIVE MINUTES


There's a locker at the other end of the room from the surgery machine. The door is spattered with blood and closed. A small white-and-red object is lying on the floor next to the locker.

COMA EXPIRES IN ONE MINUTE

The very soft sound of robotic movement comes from the door into the next room. The door is locked. A lead pipe lies next to the door. Flakes of dried blood stick to one end of it.

COMA EXPIRES IN FIVE SECONDS... REVIVAL PROCESSES INITIATED... SUBJECT CORE TEMPERATURE RISING..

SUBJECT... DR. EMMERICH, HAL

[OOC: Hal must awake from brain surgery first, then we can assemble the party. As stated before some party members will start in different locations, usually unpleasant ones, and join up with the main party over time]

Ocean's 11 Plotline, Part 4 (final part!). THE ACTUAL THEFT!

[info]aceoheartscajun
[And finally, now that the suiting up and hanging out in bars is done, we can finally get to the actual point of this plotline: stealing money from an evil casino!]

[Now, you will find Remy's Seven standing outside the casino, all looking extraordinarily suave in their suits. Their leader, Remy, looks extra-delicious as his suit is a trenchcoat-suit, plus he keeps his gloves on. Naturally, he is wearing a wonderfully expensive cologne, and the only thing stopping me from absolutely Cullenizing this description of Remy is that I don't want to make him sparkle (plus, I actually have some semblance of taste)]

[Remy is standing with a serious game-face on. Baird is following, dragging what looks like a very large electricity generator.  Actually, its an EMP device! Cid, with the computer virus he cooked up, is right beside him (thank fuck the virus is stored in magnetically-shielded media).]

BAIRD: "(grunts) Are we there yet?" [/snark]

REMY: "Oui. Now, we jus' need our dis'raction... Sander, Falcon. You're up. De stage has been booked for... now."

[OOC: Sander and Falcon are up first. "The Swigging Martinis" have to put on a performance at the Casino's main stage. Lets see them bring down the house!   After they distract people and the ground team gets inside, Baird will remote-detonate the EMP and Cid will upload the virus into the scrambled computer mainframe. Snake, Vamp and Logan will then 'clear the way' to the safe. Baird blows the safe, Remy struts in looking all hot and everyone takes their share of the cash! OK everyone, lets get thieving. Unfortunately, our characters have to do something besides each other.]

Ocean's 11 Plotline, Part 3 of 4: The Obligatory Bar Sequence

[info]aceoheartscajun
[Just like Ocean's 11, this thread is the part of the plot where everyone sits down, makes idle chit-chat of little relevance to the plot itself, and simply acts cool in a swanky bar wearing their suits. Of course this will be seen as 'smooth,' 'chic' and 'hip' by the film critics, even when the sequence is nothing but people discussing how fast food is in other countries (speaking of that, did you know that Chinese McDonalds Sausage & Egg muffins are actually much more porky than they are in Western countries? Yay, I'm profound!)]

[So, we have a nice swanky bar, just inside the casino. No one is there, its reserved for Remy's Seven, but Remy will vouch for non-Remy's Seven people if they want to come in]

[So yeah, just come in, drink cocktails and have idle chit chat. This is the perfect thread for making some characters meet if they haven't already. Wear your suit]

[Nibbles and drinks are of course free. Service is robotic/automated]

[Gambit of course is wearing his suit as he sips his way through Sex On The Beach's, Bourbons and glasses of champagne. Anyone want to say hi/flirt? His long jacket is swirling around him very enticingly!]

Ocean's 11 Plotline PART 2: Suit Up! (NOW WITH NEW SEXY ICON!)

[info]aceoheartscajun

And so, Remy's Seven has been formed. Now onto the next phase of the mission: get a really, really, really hot suit for all members of the team! (Just like the Ocean's 11 Movie: 3/4 of this plotline is looking cool and hanging out in lounges, with 1/4 actual theft!)

Remy opens a door to a room which, conveniently, just happens to include suits. Lots of them. Since, at the moment, Remy is only wearing a towel around his waist he is quite grateful for this (not that he doesn't mind showing off his extraordinarily handsome self!).

All members of Remy's Seven get a suit consisting of a black silk shirt, black silk suit jacket and trousers, silver cufflinks (unless this clashes too much with the color of your tie), black shoes, plus an individually-colored tie (for that authentic Reservoir Dogs feel). 

In Remy's case, his suit jacket is a long coat (he is the team leader after all), also black. He is keeping his gloves too. As for the silk tie: hot pink! (surprise!). 

ALL MEMBERS OF REMY'S SEVEN, PLEASE COME IN AND GET YOURSELF YOUR SUIT AND CHOOSE YOUR TIE! [Feel welcome to drool over a half-naked Gambit, too!]

ADDITIONALLY, THE MODERATOR WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF ANYONE HAS SUFFICIENT PHOTOSHOP EXPERIENCE TO MAKE "IN SUIT" ICONS FOR REMY'S SEVEN (YES, THESE ICONS WOULD NEED THEIR INDIVIDUALLY-COLORED TIES AS WELL, PLEASE). 

[So, back to actually describing what happens when Remy walks into the suit-room]

[Remy smirks and looks at his suit... the tie is the perfect color, the suit of flawless quality, the silk as black as the sclera of his eyes... and even better, the room has a HUGE MIRROR ON THE WALL... Remy just looks at his amazingly-hot self, mouthing in French: "Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me!"]

[info]laughwithme

[LO feels in an incredibly great mood today for some reason! It's been quite awhile since she's been so happy, really happy. 

She's just wandering the Nexus until she comes upon an open area where a door should be. Colorful banners are strung across the door frame. When looking at it, the inside just looks like a pitch-black room. She blinks, and contemplates going inside or not before heading in. As soon as she goes in, she appears to be at some sort of carnival. There are rides and games galore, along with booths for food and drinks, such as burger stands and smoothie bars. Wireframe couples are strolling across the area, going on rides, and winning each other things in the games, like stuffed bears. LO suppose they're there to actually make it look like a real carnival.]

Ooh~! There are so many colors and lights~! ahahaha

[Octopus thinks she likes this place!]

((ooc: Welcome to the Carnival room~ The perfect place for a date ;D 

As soon as you enter, there's a ticket booth where you can get tickets to play the carnival games. The tickets are free, don't worry! Each carnival game is 2 tickets, and you get 3 tries on the carnival games. If you miss each time, you will have to pay additional tickets for more tries. The number you have to pay depends on how many extra tries you want. The rides are free, but of course, there will probably be a line. Have fun!))

Ocean's 11 Plotline PART 1: CASINO NIGHT! YAY!

[info]cynical_techie

[And, for no apparent reason, the lobby of NFPDR has suddenly been turned into a casino, with an adjoining set of rooms being converted into offices and the main cashier]

[A large banner with "Grand Opening" is hung over the lobby, pretty lights decorate the ceiling, and every table is open! Drinks are served to players, comped by the house]

[As Baird wanders in, very pretty ladies in rather, ahem, "minimal" skirts warmly greet him. His eyes wander over them as he starts grinning and walks into the casino, quite happily in fact! Baird has lived in a world where anything even remotely fun (that doesn't have the possibility of creating more slaves for the regime) is banned, so he can't wait to blow some money!]

[And Baird sits down at the 6:5 Blackjack table. All other rules are liberal Vegas Strip rules (Resplit all pairs including aces to 4 hands, double down on any 2 cards including after splits, late surrender allowed, dealer stands on soft 17, 6 deck CSM). Unfortunately for Baird, he doesn't know that normally, BJ is meant to pay 3:2 since the only other blackjack he has ever played (in the Strip Blackjack room) paid 1:1 on BJ]

"Six to Five! Man, that's better than before!"

[and he sits down, colors up his Seran money (its not like he actually needs it here), and starts gambling]

[As the comp'd drinks start flowing, he gets hammerred. And he's playing mathematically perfect strategy too... he ran some calculations after the Strip Blackjack room]

[BUT Baird ends up losing. A lot. Again, Seran money means nothing here but, come on, its the principle of the thing! He played perfectly and got wiped out! Quite quickly in fact! FUCK THIS PLACE!]

[And Baird stumbles out of the casino in, well, a grumpy mood. He hangs out in a lounge room set outside the casino and writes a nice sign on the front door: "Loser's Lounge"]

[And, unknown to Baird, or anyone outside casino management, the games aren't truly random . The casino is literally cheating here. The CSMs are rigged to withold 10-cards and only put them back in the shoe occasionally. The Zero on the roulette wheel is magnetized slightly to attract the ball to it. THIS CASINO IS EEEEVIL!]

[OOC: OCEAN'S 11 CASINO NIGHT! EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO JOIN IN HAS TO GO TO THE CASINO, LOSE A LOT OF MONEY, JOIN BAIRD IN THE LOSERS LOUNGE AND GET CONSPIRING!!! VAMP, CID, SANDER, FALCON, WOLVERINE ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND. AND PLEASE, MARI, BRING TRAIN ALONG! SNAKE AND, OF COURSE, GAMBIT, WILL BE JOINING IN SOON!!!!]

Oh Wolvie... Gambit Has A Surprise For You!

[info]aceoheartscajun

[[ooc: No prizes for guessing what that surprise it, and THIS IS A SMUT THREAD. DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T LIKE SMUT. THANKYOU]]

Gambit's curiosity got the better of him and he randomly opened a door. This one happenned to lead to a new room: The Seduction Room! Black and red bedsheets, a jacuzzi, Champagne in the ice bucket, platter of fruit and molten chocolate... it looks like the perfect place for Remy to whisk his innocent victims off to! 

Naturally Remy wants to get some use out of this room, and so he places a little note on the door to his best friend, Logan.

"Logan, mon ami,

Remy got a surprise for you! Just behind this door...

-Remy"


[For Logan, obviously]

A New Toy In The Bar! WE HAVE A KARAOKE MACHINE!

[info]aceoheartscajun

[Anyone now enters the bar, they will find a Karaoke machine in the corner. However, if you decide to use it, the machine will automatically pick out a song that mirrors your character's current mental state... their "theme song" if you will. Please find said song on Youtube and link it, please!] 

[Attention whores that love an audience Sander Cohen, I'm looking at you or just people that like music... come on!]

[Remy of course can't wait to try out the new toy!]

[And the song the machine picks out for Remy is.... "Lady Marmalade" "Closer" by NIN "Systeme de Sexe" by Julien-K!] (oh come on, what else? "Hungry Like The Wolf" was too cliche and I want to plug a new band!)

 Song Vid here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws_Llfrb9tM

Song Lyrics here: http://julien-k.com/lyrics/systeme_de_sexe

And the song begins, Remy slinkily struts accross the stage, dropping his trenchcoat. Now standing there in the black and pink body armor, seductively singing the song. 

"You le' your body talk... you know wha' I mean..."   Remy's cocky strut morphs into a long-legged prowl, taking the mic stand with him, grinding up against it at regular intervals.

"I ''dry to sdand my groun' bud' i's har'.... so har'... to leave you alone..." Remy rubs his hand along his lithe torso

"I's so easy 'do see... 'do cross de fine line in fron' of me...." He growls in a sultry tone.

[What does everyone think of Gambit's performance?]

The Jerry Springer Room, Part 2

[info]aceoheartscajun
[Jerry began the show. Remy and his player-wireframe were both in chairs on the stage]

JERRY:"Today's topic is my character is a rampant sexoholic! Please meet the Moderator. The Moderator here says that his character's compulsive whoring is stopping him from sleeping. Well Moderator, please explain what's going on?"

MODERATOR: "Hi Jerry. Remy over here, well, he's a slut!"

REMY [to MODERATOR]: "Nolo contendre mon ami, nolo contendre!"

AUDIENCE: "You're a slut! You're a slut! You're a slut!"

[Remy chuckles, the Moderator laughs too]

MODERATOR: "It's not that I mind, its just his smut threads are eating into my sleep, and stopping me from doing actual work!"

REMY [to MODERATOR]: "You de best writer I ever had mon ami! You give Remy so much love!"

MODERATOR [to REMY]: "Literally. With Wolverine, Matt Parkman, General Genesis and Prince Tseng. I'm sure you want to add Jill to the list too. And Baird."

REMY [to MODERATOR]: "Well we know you don't mind de sex, why no?"

MODERATOR [to REMY]: "BECAUSE I NEED TO GET SOME FUCKING SLEEP AND WORK DONE! And hey, Jill's player mightn't be interested either!"

REMY [to MODERATOR]: "I'm sure I could change her mind mon ami!"

MODERATOR [to REMY]: "Remy, you could change Melissa Etheridge's mind on that subject, but that's not the fucking point here!"

REMY [to MODERATOR]: "You still de bes' player Remy ever had mon cher... why no' have Remy say t'ankyou?" [Remy smirks whilst leaning over to the Moderator].

MODERATOR [to REMY]: "Are you hitting on me? Man, one of my own characters is hitting on me? [Moderator looks around, amazed] What does that say about me for fuck's sake? I'm RPing one of my own characters hitting on me, fuck I need a fucking vodka" [Vodka Martini with a lemon twist and no olive instantly appears and the wireframed figure starts sipping it]

JERRY: "And that's why I host this show!"

Chow Time! (Logan/Matt/Remy, Open)

[info]savagewhore
Logan looks at the sign scrolling across the top of the double-doors to the "Nexus Restaurant."

'WELCOME!

To all who enter: please make yourselves at home..."

"Rules:
1. No violence or use of weapons when entering, for this
place is one of the few sanctuaries within the Nexus.

2. Nudity and sex is prohibited. Think of the very
young visitors!

3. No harassing the service to hurry with your meal(s).

4. No money required! The food is FREE, FREE, FREE!!  All we need are those who are hungry.

Violation of ANY of these rules will result in not being able to eat here after you've been warned.'


He snorts in disbelief.

"Goddamn...someone actually put up a sign sayin' 'No sex in the restaurant?' Not sure I wanna think about why they got that up there."

Shrugging, he grins back at his friends.

"Well, looks like we found it. After you guys."

This is all Mohinder's fault... 'f it weren't for him I'd only be gettin rejected by girlses...

There's gotta be something interesting in one of these rooms...

'Lo? 'Lo?

[((join matt out on the street or just say what's goin on in your room + he'll see it thru the window))]

More xmen!~

[info]disappearin_act
[There is a repeating sound of something, it sounds like something you've probably never heard. But whatever it is it seems to be creating smoke and lots of it. Dark seemingly purpleish smoke seeping out from underneath the doors-- It hasn't reached the hallway yet..

Or maybe it doesn't even know that there IS a hall-- Another noise and the smoke starts to pour out from one of the top corners in the hallway.

Through the smoke a visible blue person could be seen clinging to the wall, observing the new surroundings.]

Cock-blocked

[info]savagewhore
Warning: WILL contain adult content!

A very dishevelled, very hairy man lands unceremoniously on the floor. His blue jeans are unbuttoned and rumpled, and his black tank top is bunched up as if it were in the process of being torn off. His hair, while clearly always a mess, is even worse than usual now...and the thundercloud-like scowl on his face speaks volumes about his mood.

Two fuckin' seconds ago, I was makin' out with 'Ro in her greenhouse. There better be a damn good reason for draggin' me away from the first piece of action I' ve seen since the Cajun up an' took off.

"Whoever's out there an' thinks this is funny...pal, you better pray I don't find ya."

Catching a scent on the air, he lets out a low growl. Tonight may not be a total loss after all, if whoever's coming isn't averse to finishing a half-started job. His jeans, already tight on his body, grow a sizable bulge just beneath the still-open button on his fly.
