Twisting Paths of the Dungeon, Somewhere, Wednesday, Day One

Apr 10, 2013 07:42

The pathways of the dungeon had changed overnight. Anyone who had stayed in a room beyond their welcome had found themselves booted out back onto the hallways that belonged to their camp. Those doors had closed. Other doors had now opened.

As had other routes.

A Clockwork Door not_a_whiner April 10 2013, 05:43:28 UTC

This door is made of thick metal, its clockwork mechanism clearly showing on the outside. Press the button and it rolls open of its own volition...

The area inside might be mistaken for a foggy London street at first glance. But then it becomes obvious it has a ceiling, not a sky - and from that ceiling hang weapons bound with thick thread, just within reach for anyone daring to climb up onto a rooftop. Upon further inspection, the weapons might seem familiar: in fact, they might look exactly like items left behind in the weapons locker at school...

Of course, if you take one step too many, one of those tick-tacking men might overhear... and attempt to pull you from the rooftops and smother you before you can reach anything.

[ as always, let us know if you want an NPC. be careful, because those clockwork men are lethal, and come equipped with electric shocks. ]

Well Buffy needed a weapon, there was no doubt about that. And it figured the one room that had weapons was being guarded by some demonic clockwork guys dressed to the seventeenth century nines.

She'd come out of this with a shiny sword for her trouble, but also some scorch marks and a long gash across her forehead. Oh, and a new found fear of people dressed like Louis XIV.

Well. Alec had never been one of the Fandom denizens to store his weapons in the weapons locker. Fortunately, he wasn't aware that this was theft, which meant that for the time being, he could fight his way to a bow, Shadowhunter-style.

He even managed one better than that: in addition to his bow and quiver (with an inconveniently small amount of arrows, but he'd manage), he found a knife for Sparkle. Score.

Re: A Clockwork Door suitablyheroic April 10 2013, 14:27:27 UTC

Well. Atton hadn't exactly seen the creepy guys coming. Should've guessed there'd be something out here, though: weapons didn't come this easy unless you looted them off someone's corpse.

"Hey," he called towards the approaching army. "I guess none of you know the way to the nearest cantina, right?"

Okay, so robots? Robots were a new on for Dean. Which meant a weapons run ended with a less than happy, slightly more bloody hunter glaring at the door like it offended him on a personal level.

Seriously, robots.

But, at least he got a machete out if the deal. Since the guns he'd grabbed had been used to not end up dead.

Yeah, after yesterday getting a hold of a weapon was the first thing on Kennedy's mind, and where cautious people might not think it was a brilliant idea to go exploring, ahahahahaha. Cautious was so not her, and while the whole climbing-rooftops-to-get-to-weapons part was a trip it didn't seem like that much of a hardship. Because shiny stabby things, hello.

Except for the part when the clockwork men tried to stop her.

"And hello, steampunk evil-- gah!"

Sigh, these pajamas were never going to be useful again. But hey, at least she had a crossbow and some throwing knives now.

She knew there was a reason she'd always hated French history in school.

[[camp 1/2 people totally welcome.]]

Her t-shirt slightly scorched, Allie landed in a crouch next to Kennedy, a sword clutched tightly in her hand.

"Well that was interesting."

Re: A Clockwork Door brat_inslayage April 10 2013, 16:49:59 UTC

Something about the girl had Kennedy's Slayer senses tingling just a bit, but not enough to give her any clear conclusions to jump to. (Everything about this place was throwing a monkey-wrench into said senses, anyway.)

She shook out her left arm, which was still a bit numb from an electrical shock, and grinned. "But kind of fun, huh?"

Re: A Clockwork Door allie_vamp April 10 2013, 16:53:45 UTC

"If you enjoy beating the crap out of the things trying to kill you," Allie replied with a sharp grin. "Which, I do. So yeah."

"I'm Allison. My friends call me Allie."

Re: A Clockwork Door brat_inslayage April 10 2013, 16:55:48 UTC

"Kennedy," she replied, nodding once, a quick downward jerk of her chin. "And beating the crap out of killy things is what I do for a living."

Also, given that she was currently fighting with her girlfriend, therapeutic.

Re: A Clockwork Door allie_vamp April 10 2013, 17:01:18 UTC

"It sounds like more fun then being a door check at the bar," she mused. "Maybe I need a career change."

Re: A Clockwork Door brat_inslayage April 10 2013, 17:06:36 UTC

"Then allow me to disclaim that it is, for one, hell on the wardrobe," Kennedy informed her. "Demon goo? Ew. Also, it isn't exactly a paying gig."

Sorry, Allie. It wasn't like she was used to thinking about having to pay for things.

Re: A Clockwork Door allie_vamp April 10 2013, 17:10:25 UTC

"Try rabid or what you'd call zombie guts. That's why I wear black, it doesn't show the stains as badly." Granted, when Kanin had suggested black, he meant it hid the blood stains from feeding. But it worked just as well for rabids.

Re: A Clockwork Door brat_inslayage April 10 2013, 17:16:06 UTC

Shh, like practicality took precedence over snappy dressing among the demon-hunting set in Kennedy's world.

"Ugh, zombies. Those are gross," Kennedy agreed. "Not so much with the acidic, though, at least."

Re: A Clockwork Door allie_vamp April 10 2013, 17:25:17 UTC

"Small favors and all that," Allie said. "Of course now I'm wondering where you come from that acid monsters are a thing. The most we have to worry about are rabids and vampires. Which is more then enough to deal with."

Re: A Clockwork Door brat_inslayage April 10 2013, 17:47:24 UTC

Kennedy took a moment to count the number of crossbow bolts she'd managed to grab-- looked like about two dozen, so not bad but she'd have to save those for when it really counted-- and huffed a laugh. "We've got this thing called a Hellmouth? Actually apparently there's more than one. Anyway it's like some kind of hot spot that draws in all kinds of demonic activity. Also leads down into, surprise surprise, hell."

She eyed the knives and wished she'd thought to grab some kind of belt, because no way was she hiding these things in her pajamas; they'd just have to go in the crossbow bolt quiver for now.

"It's kind of a lot like Fandom, actually? Only with way less of a sense of humor. Regularly-scheduled apocalypses, though."
