Freddie grabs another ray gun and checks it out. "We need to kill the rest. Maybe we open them one at a time and then squish each?"

When Rose shows up, he aims at her too. "She's one of them!"

Fred and Lily opening fire before Rose can react? If so, normal range — hit a 4!

Does he make a pew pew noise in his head? Yes he does.

Does he really really hope this blaster is the same as Lily's? Yes he does.

Does Rose look great in that shirt? Yes, yes she does.

Rose Tidwell
Rose is quick. When it becomes obvious the teens aren’t buying her story, she suddenly bolts, trying to avoid the scintillating yellow beams Fred and Lily both fire at her. The whole room lights from the futuristic pyrotechnics, and Rose seizes up when one of those beams hits her and stops her in her tracks. She fights it — hard — but within seconds puke is jetting out the girl’s nose and she’s holding her mouth. When it finally comes, this technicolor yawn is epic — like Zach’s sister has spent the last eight hours eating mac and cheese and drinking milk. It’s a nasty, frothy, bubbling mess of yellow bile, and in the middle of that soup when Rose collapses, passing out… is a squiggling, twisting, writhing slug.

"Squeep?!" It voices towards the kids.

"Don't kill this one!" Zach exclaims as he runs forward. He's not sure why. Because he's had a conversation with this one before? It's not like he could stop the others from doing it as he rushes over to Rose and pulls her into a tight hug. "Rosie, I was so scared that I would never get you back!"
Jan 9, 2024 4:05 am
Freddie kills it, stomping on it and looking in the hallway for the sounds of fighting

"That's just the Slughome Syndrome taking."
Jan 9, 2024 5:57 am
Zach cringes slightly when Fred killes the Not-Rose slug. He would have liked to try and talk to her again somehow, but maybe he's right and it's for the best. They still need to get out of here alive after all. He's certainly not going to start a fight over it. Instead, he turns to his siter again, "Rosie, how are you feeling?" He hesitates, then asks, "Were you conscious when Not-Rose was inside you?" If she wasn't, she'll think that's a really weird question. "Can you tell us what's going on in that hallway?"
Jan 9, 2024 6:29 am
Like Belinda and the others who had the slugs in them for some time, Rose is non-responsive to Zach. It appears that she might be okay in time, but her head lolls and her eyes roll as her brother holds her and talks to her. Fred's final slug-stomp is a spectacular one. It's a tough bugger, and the boy has to put almost all his weight down before the wet, slimy skin bursts and shoots gooey innards almost ten feet across the concrete floor.

"Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep..." the creature says softly as it expires.

Just then, the door shudders. Someone is outside, trying to get in -- but Rose bolted it.

"Rose!" someone shouts. "Rose! Goddammit I know you're in there!"

It's hard to say for sure, but... perhaps it's Marco Corbitt?!
Jan 9, 2024 6:39 am
"Marco?" Zach calls out. What is he doing here? How did he get here? Suddenly, Zach feels a light flush of embarrassment as he remembers that stray thought he had about Marco just moments before and he bites his lip. "Rose is in here. She's hurt. A lot of people are." He carefully lays Rose down on the ground, then walks towards the door. "I can let you in, but..." He doesn't finish the sentence as he puts his hand on the bolt. Instead, he nods at Lily, who is still holding the raygun. They'll have to be sure he's still himself.

"Wait! Here!" the girl says, tossing Zach a stun stick from its place on the floor nearby.

"In case we miss!" she says, nodding to Fred to be ready!
Jan 9, 2024 9:22 am
Zach takes it, then, when everyone's in place, opens the door to let Marco in.
Jan 9, 2024 3:37 pm
Taking it all in, Emily raises the pistol oddly aware of how many rounds she has left, and points it toward the door. Between her gun, the stun stick, if Zach managed to catch it, Lily's ray gun, and Fred's super slug foot, they were as prepared as they'd ever be. The girl didn't want to kill anymore but she would if she had to as she held her breath and waited to see who would come in through the doorway.
Jan 9, 2024 11:51 pm
Freddie stands well apart from Lily, opposite side of the room and levels the gun at the door. Quietly he says, "Remember, he's a bastard without a slug pilot."

Lily holds her weapon ready, and reaches her mind out into the hallway. She listens for any thoughts that might be seeping into the room from whoever might be on the other side. Perhaps it would hint at what they should expect next!

OOC:
Alright, let's play with things a little here at the end of the game. Lily has
[ +- ] Psionics!
Her three powers are Mind Link (currently active, cost was 1 point of power), Mind Reading, and Mind Wipe.
[ +- ] Mind Link
[ +- ] Mind Reading
[ +- ] Mind Wipe
Lily currently has 9/10 Power Points remaining. If she's going to try and read the mind of whoever is on the other side of the door, roll Smarts -- at +2 for temporarily having the Mentalist trait!

They will try to beat that roll, then we'll have Zach open the door with everyone in position. If Lily is successful, she'd be able to holler a warning or other info if she learns something she wants to share.

Lily focuses her mind as best she can, considering how recently she acquired the ability to do so. She’s tempted to reach out and search for Wendy among all the noise, but she must stay focused…
OOC:
Rolling! Harrigan might add an extra +2 if Alertness features!

Marco Corbitt

Marco Corbitt
It's a bizarre sensation. Lily can feel someone on the other side of the side. Their consciousness. Like a... static field or something. Zach is mentioning Marco's name, and then the junior reporter's own mental essence is drifting straight through the wall and the door -- and into Marco Corbitt, who stands outside the steam plant with a gun in his hand.
OOC:
Okay! Lily -- not only is that a success, but you have two raises!

For the success, you know this is indeed Marco on the other side of the door, and you can delve into his mind to answer any one question he knows the answer to, like where to get pot downtown.

For each of your two raises, you can then...

Θ Ask another question

Θ Make it so that Marco won't know about your mental intrusion

Θ Have a Benny!

Θ Try to flip this Mind Reading power into Puppet, where you could take control of him. Now... that would be your Smarts vs. his Spirit for that control, so you know, and it would cost you 3 more Power Points. (Power Points are how you cast spells. Lily suddenly has 10, spent one on the Mind Linking, then spent two on the Mind Reading. She has seven points left.)


What'll it be? You can choose the same one twice where it makes sense -- two questions, two Bennies, etc.

Freebie: Are there aliens out there with you?

Raise 1: A Benny!

Raise 2: Who died out there?
Lily connects with the boy, and asks a series of questions!

Marco Corbitt
The answers come quickly, whether Marco wants to offer them up or not. He can tell something is wrong, that someone is in his head, but he can't keep from revealing to Lily exactly what she wants to know.

Are there aliens out there with you?

I'm alone out here... I mean for now. The tunnels are crazy, full of insane teachers and a bunch of jocks and sports kids fighting them.

Who died out there?

I... I don't know. I mean -- I saw people on the ground, but I don't know if they were dead! That Noah kid, that Clutch a-hole. That smokin' hot gym teacher... that douchbag Dubois. I dunno, some others. Hey... hey bitch! What are you doing in my head?!

It's at that time that Zach pulls open the door, revealing Corbitt to the assembled crew. The boy is hunched a bit, holding his head with one of his hands while in the other he grips his gun, the one from the car!
OOC:
Stand by, Notice Check for Macro (at -2 for being Distracted) to see if he gets dealt into the initiative.
