"Brett! Turn off your PDC! Sonic screeching! Move to your left, no right, no left, just move!." Cart could make out where his fellow troubleshooters were from his vantage point. "Will, move along the wall until you find a door!"

Cart himself continued to edge along his wall until he reached the east wall to look for the door to the studio. He grabbed one of the empty cardboard boxes that had their balls spilled, and held it over his head to shield himself from whatever it was that the sprinkler was discharging.

Brett quickly removed his PDC from his wrist, and held it up at arms length by his finger tips. He aims it at the direction of the studio, where his partner threw his "grenade". "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm going to make this traitorous PDC disappear!"

Along the wall until I find a door... I run straight into the middle of the room, jumping to the floor and crawling into the red light, mostly because I can't see any door. The only thing obvious is that light.

Cart was able to see Will, and shouted out directions for him to move to the east wall.

Cart is protected from the foam with his box over his head.

Will disregards Cart's instruction and dances his way towards Brett in the center of the studio.
Will slips hard on the foam.

Brett hold's out the PDC in a performative gesture.
In the blink of an eye it seems to disappear. A split second later it appears inside the recording area still screeching and flashing. The junior ciitzens who witness the trick burst into applause.

COOL! did you see that?

Yeah! Cool!

a moment later Will slides into Brett knocking them both over.

A box of ping pong explodes in a bright fireball. (everyone describe your action and roll to avoid damage)

Brett made a subtle sigh of relief at the greatly successful magic act, but before he could thank his audience, he got tripped over by Will. Another second later, the nearby box explodes, and Brett attempts to roll away from the blast.

Cart was in the midst of poking two holes in the box to see through it, when the explosion happened. He moved straight for the east wall and squatted under the box to cover himself. If he finds a door he'll dive in instead.

As I slip in the foam, I try to roll into the other room (which I assume is open after I shattered the glass and the kids when crazy!)
OOC:
by the way, how is that music now the studio's glass is broken ?

Brett rolls away gracefully as if introducing athletics into his magic routine.

Cart pulls the box down over his head just as the balls explode sending him into the wall and ultimately uside down in the box with his feet sticking out of the top.

Will slides over to the east wall and lands right under the broken window.
The kids inside seem to have embraced the chaos and have started aggressively throwing the PDC at each other inside the control room.

The music has turned hyper. and familiar.

Who's THE CAPTAIN!?

all the kids yell out in unison

CAPTAIN BOT-A-ROO!

Smoke, Foam, and Exploding buckets of ping-pong balls -
what better conditions for the accidental reactivation of the long dormant Captain Botaroo himself? From a closet in the north wall slides the lovable figure from you nostalgic childhood memories: The large, blocky form, so resembling a warbot except for the loose fitting jacket; and - as you remember so well - The attached cattle prod. From a speaker down by his tank treads comes the bouncy theme music along with the studio speakers.

WHO IS THE CAPTAIN!?!?

Hoh-Hoh boys und girls, der Captain is lookink for TRAITORS! Half you zeen any today, mmmmm?

With a whining grinding strain one rusted arm comes up. The jacket sleeve falls away to reveal a laser barrel.

"By the Friend Computer's chip! It's Captain Botaroo! He is going to save us from this communist filth! " I stand up over-excitedly!!

"Captain Botaroo is here! We'll surely succeed now in saving Isabel Indigo from the commies!" Cart cheered from inside his box as he tried to right himself. Muffled as he was, his words came out as Cppmmf Nbttruuiis! Wwwssuccdd svvgi iiinns cmmmiiss!

"Hooray! It's a great honour to meet Captain Botaroo in the fle- I mean, metal!" Brett cheers as he face the captain while on his knees.
Aug 12, 2019 8:37 pm
AH HA Unfirmitive! IT IZ GREAT HONOR! Have you zeen any Traitors today Citizen?
Aug 13, 2019 3:05 am
"Traitors, hmm... Ah, they are that way, Captain! Flash Indigo is currently hunting them now!" Brett points at the direction he last saw Flash Indigo and his boys went.

"Follow the traitorous music Captain Botaroo! These are clearly mutated sounds!" I say, readying my blaster and bravely taking cover behind the robot!
Aug 13, 2019 7:52 am
"Mmpf dtth wwy." Cart agreed, before finally righting himself out of the box. "The music! Friend Computer must not be besmirched! It is coming from inside there!" Cart pointed dramatically towards the studio.

Captain Botaroo turns in the direction the troubleshooters indicate and spots a couple junior citizens on the other side of the busted window

Now Den Zitizen! Haf you been a loyal little boy or girl?

The Junior citizen stammers.... uh uh uh

Captain Botaroo begins rolling toward the stammering citizen.

You have been charged with Subverting the Public Address Here iz your prize.

He pulls a strange lump from inside his coat pocket. and tosses it with his mechanical arm

It bounces once and ricochets off the window frame back into the room ...

OOC:
Is it too late to fire at the window in the hope of breaking it so that the grenade will go through? In any case I'll describe Cart's hiding actions as well.
Cart fired the rifle he obtained from the kid earlier at the window of the studio, hoping to smash it, before diving back into his box and huddling next to the wall.

"Hooray for Botaroo! Oh! Let me help you with that..." Brett outstretches his arm at the object and made a flicking motion towards it's intended destination.
