[so, kid's crisis with the barcode on his hand and...some others along the way, have been solved! but thanks to his copy barcode, the security bots think he's a stowaway and track him down as he flees from his room, dressed in his orange jumpsuit and helmet over his regular suit. he didn't need much else from his room, not that he could stay

[...it's this guy. and it looks like he needs help]

Where are you? Can you change levels? They might stop chasing you.

[stanceofsin]

[sees the stairwell door]

Heading there right now!

[opens it and slams it shut behind him, pants slightly] So, you've fought with these things before, I take it?

[dawnward]

Only a few times. They'll keep coming, so you need to find a place to hide until they lose interest in you.

[numberonebaby]

You need some help, Kid? Lemme know where you are and I'll beat the shit outta those bots for ya.

[stanceofsin]

[smirks] What, don't think I can't handle them on my own?

But thank you.

[stanceofsin]

Oh, I'm on my way up to level 20. Figure I'll head... [trails off]

Well, I'm not sure where I'm going to go, to be honest.

[goldenpine]

Liz and Patty?

[ but nevermind that! ]

Want someone to run interference for you, kid?

[stanceofsin]

[takes a moment to breathe] No, I'm doing fine. There was just more than I had anticipated.

And I think I've gotten too comfortable using Liz and Patti to help me... They're my partners.

[goldenpine]

That can happen around here~

Ah, your partners.

[redpaperfan]

They're only using brute force?

[ Why yes, that's what he first noticed. ]

[stanceofsin]

Brute force and lasers! Never got shot by a laser before, but now I can say I have...

Why? Does that sound strange to you?

[redpaperfan]

They're adding to their arsenal. Last time they relied on knock-out gasses and sound to keep people in control.

[stanceofsin]

[takes this all in] But nothing lethal before? Just immobilization...interesting.
