You have just entered room "insideryou."
Nnyninja777 has entered the room.
BEWD CEO has entered the room.
Nnyninja777: (O.o)
BEWD CEO: (>XD)
ph33r my rod: (( *refrains from making a suggestive comment about the room name* ))
BEWD CEO: (*SHOOTS*)
Omega19x: (hang on...)
Nnyninja777: (...*whistles*)
Omega19x: (fucking popping up windows)
BEWD CEO: (Seto: >.> I dun WANNA be unconscious...)
Omega19x: *the three vessels appear in what looks like a tomb. It's a stone hallway, familiar to Atemu, of course. Two doors are side by side.*
ph33r my rod: (( So wait, are the three of us still us, just with the gods' powers? ))
Omega19x: (yup)
Omega19x: *one door looks rather nice, the other old, rusting, falling apart.*
Nnyninja777: *stares blankly*
ph33r my rod: ... *blink blink*
BEWD CEO: (SOUL ROOM!)
BEWD CEO: ...Where the fuck are we?
Nnyninja777: Hm.
Nnyninja777: *steps forward and looks about*
BEWD CEO: (AAAANJAAA!)
ph33r my rod: *takes a couple of steps forward* ...this is weird.
Nnyninja777: ......*clenches fist* It seems that we're inside.....
Nnyninja777: (XD Frankly, hell, I dunno where we are. Refresh meh)
Omega19x: (yes, soul room)
Omega19x: (well, outside of it anyway)
Omega19x: (the cause of Ryou's affliction, something not in the mortal realm, but yet inside him, is what you seek... it is out there... somewhere)
BEWD CEO: (The lil' hallway between rooms. ^^)
Nnyninja777: (XD ah yes)
Omega19x: *one of the rooms used to be Yami Bakura's. One is currently Ryou's soul room*
Nnyninja777: Hm... it seems as if we're inside...
Nnyninja777: *frowns* Like Yuugi and I
ph33r my rod: *nods* ...
Omega19x: *you decide where to go*
Nnyninja777: ....
Nnyninja777: It seems as though the sorce of the problem lies within Ryou, but...
BEWD CEO: ...Whoa, you mean we're IN him?
Omega19x: *notice, though, there seems to be nothing unusual about the soul rooms, except perhaps the deteriorating state of Bakura's room, but since the link is long gone... what can one expect*
ph33r my rod: *takes a few steps forward, curious about what's in Ryou's soul room* ...
Omega19x: *the door creaks open slightly*
Nnyninja777: Be careful
Nnyninja777: *frowns* Within my own soul room...
Nnyninja777: are various traps that will plunge a wanderer into their doom.
Omega19x: *they can see a little of Ryou's room. The area looks white, completely starile*
BEWD CEO: ...Well, Malik, you go check that one. *walks up to old door and tries to open it* I want to see what's in here...
Nnyninja777: (XD And now, I leave to eat. C ya!)
Nnyninja777: (XD I shall return)
ph33r my rod: (( *head desk* ))
ph33r my rod: (( So we just check out the soul rooms for now, I guess? XD ))
Omega19x: *the door to Bakura's soul room will not open*
Omega19x: (she is forced to follow along, I suppose)
BEWD CEO: *tugs at door* Stupid fucking thing won't open, damn it...
Omega19x: *it will not open, no matter what you try*
ph33r my rod: *cautiously pushes the door to Ryou's soul room open further* ...
BEWD CEO: ...Well, screw this...what's in the other room? *peers over Malik's shoulder*
Omega19x: *the room really is all white. Completely spotless. It looks like a hospital room in there... fitting, one would suppose for the poor boy. But Ryou is not there.*
Omega19x: *since, duh, he's conscious.*
ph33r my rod: ...wow.
Omega19x: *but the source of his afflictions is obviously not in his soul room. Since it appears to be his only sanctuary.*
BEWD CEO: (XD I was about to say something like that...)
BEWD CEO: ...I don't think what we're looking for's in here...
BEWD CEO: *looks back at the other door that wouldn't open* It must be there...but it won't open. Like it's locked or rusted shut.
Omega19x: *that's Bakura's room allright*
ph33r my rod: ... *pulls the door shut, looking at the other door*
Omega19x: *nothing spectacular about that other door.*
ph33r my rod: ...well, guess we'll just have to keep looking. Or try to find some way to open it.
Omega19x: *Atemu nods*
BEWD CEO: I suppose there might be other doors here?
ph33r my rod: Maybe. *looks down the hallway, takes a couple of steps* ...
Omega19x: *suddenly falls through the floor*
ph33r my rod: (( O.o Us? ))
BEWD CEO: (Or just Malik? XD)
Omega19x: (you walked)
BEWD CEO: (MALIK, YOU DUNCE. XP *thwacks*)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh. XD ))
Omega19x: *Malik disappears through the floor*
ph33r my rod: *falls* SHIT!
BEWD CEO: *runs forward to the edge* Malik! *looks down...holy CRAP it's dark*
Omega19x: *Malik looks up, he appears to be at the back of Ryou's throat, looking up through one of those mystical holes (cough... plot holes) that one would find in soul rooms*
ph33r my rod: (( XD The hell? ))
Omega19x: *running forward, the hole catches Kaiba as well*
Omega19x: (assuming Atemu follows)
ph33r my rod: *blink blink* ...the hell was THAT?
BEWD CEO: (XD Probably. MACHI, BACK HERE!)
Omega19x: *they look around... there is much black... millions and millions of black particles, tiny teardrop shaped...things... lining everything...*
ph33r my rod: ...what the fuck are THOSE?
BEWD CEO: ...Looks like we found whatever the hell's causing his problems...
Omega19x: *there is a tunnel nearby, and the black things start to swarm around you*
ph33r my rod: *looks at the shiny light!sword in his hands* ...
Omega19x: *the area shakes under your feet*
BEWD CEO: ...*blinks* The hell?!
Omega19x: *again, the surface you are standing on shakes*
ph33r my rod: Holy shit...
Omega19x: *and here fly the black... let's just call them spores, since that's what they look like*
BEWD CEO: (XD)
ph33r my rod: *holds sword up* ...looks like we've got some work to do, boys.
BEWD CEO: ...So...I'm not the only one who realizes this is just like Ryou's dream?
Omega19x: *the black spores swarm around Malik, feeling the light on the sowrd*
Omega19x: *the ground trembles*
Omega19x: *it's fight or run...*
BEWD CEO: (Seto: *falls over* >.O Stupid earthquakes...)
BEWD CEO: (MACHIIII, COME BAAACK...)
ph33r my rod: *smirks and begins slashing at the spore thingies* Let's destroy us some SHADOW DISEASE, bitches.
ph33r my rod: (( And here comes badass!Malik. ))
BEWD CEO: (XD)
Omega19x: *the spores come flying, wanting to devour your spirits*
BEWD CEO: (XD! Fun!)
Omega19x: *the ground rolls underneath you, violently*
BEWD CEO: (<.<; Not good fighting conditions...)
ph33r my rod: *loses footing and falls over* Shit!
Omega19x: *the spores swarm over Malik*
BEWD CEO: *grabs sword, dagger in other hand* Better hope we don't accidentally stab ourselves. *swipes at some of the critters around Malik*
ph33r my rod: *realizes he has Ra!wings, puts them to good use*
ph33r my rod: (( Or can he? :x ))
Omega19x: *when the light hits the spores, they vanish*
Omega19x: (to do what?)
Omega19x: *but more come to take their place!*
ph33r my rod: (( Like... not be on the ground and such? ))
ph33r my rod: (( Or are they just for looks? ;D ))
Omega19x: (sorry, they're for looks)
BEWD CEO: (XD But they look GOOD.)
Omega19x: (kinda like Kaiba's big obelisk shoulders... just for kicks)
ph33r my rod: (( XD Damn. ))
BEWD CEO: (Seto and his big ass shoulders. *rolls eyes*)
ph33r my rod: *blindly slashing at black thingies, manages to clear enough away so he can stand again*
BEWD CEO: *um...insert more hacking and slashing here?*
Omega19x: *and they just keep coming*
Omega19x: *from where, you don't know*
Nnyninja777: (Okay, back, but leaving. Just... have me pass out or somrhying. Lemme pull a Ryou.)
ph33r my rod: *slash slash slash* Damn, these things are fucking everywhere!
Omega19x: (nooooo!)
ph33r my rod: (( *head desk* ))
BEWD CEO: (Awww!)
Omega19x: (you can't!)
Nnyninja777: (X3... Sorry. My new mommy needs the comp)
ph33r my rod: (( Um... Dez, charrie-sit for her! =O ))
Omega19x: (should Yugi take over in your place?)
Nnyninja777: (^__^ Sure! But you gotta act like me... and... worry overly about Seto. XD)
ph33r my rod: (( Considering Yuugi's sneaking on at school, not sure if that's a good idea or not. @.@ ))
BEWD CEO: (Seto: *facepalm*)
Omega19x: (oh... how about Seth?)
Omega19x: (you did it for her, she can do it for you)
ph33r my rod: (( That could work. ))
BEWD CEO: (YES!)
Nnyninja777: (=D Yes!)
Egyptian Hot Rod has entered the room.
ph33r my rod: (( Yay. :3 ))
Omega19x: (fill her in.)
BEWD CEO: (We're all...hacking and slashing away at black buggies whilst there's an earthquake. <.<; )
ph33r my rod: (( So basically, we found the soul rooms and whatnot, then Malik, being the klutz he is, fell through the floor. Everyone else followed. Now we're fighting lots of icky little black things in the back of Ryou's throat. ^^ ))
ph33r my rod: (( Oh, wait... the "earthquakes" are because he's talking, isn't it? ))
BEWD CEO: (...I STILL don't get that last part...O.o;)
Omega19x: *the options left are running down the open tunnel that you see, or fighting the endless swarm of black spores... which doesn't look too good*
Nnyninja777 has left the room.
ph33r my rod: ...fuck, there are WAY too many of these things. And these earthquakes aren't helping.
Omega19x: (btw, I'll pharaoh sit, I suppose, and tell the other side what is happening)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
Omega19x: *black spores keep swarming*
BEWD CEO: (...Is Anja ALIVE?)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Yes. >> But I'm trying to figure out what exactly Atemu here is doing. ]
Omega19x: (probably fighting or running)
BEWD CEO: (XD hacking and slashing at the critters? *shrugs*)
Omega19x: *black spores swarm around Atemu*
Omega19x: (there)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ XD Okay, that works. ]
ph33r my rod: ...okay, this isn't working. Guys, we gotta at least get out of here with all of these earthquakes...
ph33r my rod: (( ...if that makes any sense o.o ))
Omega19x: *quake*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *swats at the space around him*
Egyptian Hot Rod: I agree, do you see any paths...?
BEWD CEO: *takes out his frustration on the critters(I lovecalling them that...XD;)* ...I think...there's one over THERE...
ph33r my rod: ... *nods* Yeah, let's haul ass through there...
Omega19x: *yes, a tunnel, so it seems, equally black, but less spores*
BEWD CEO: *runs that way?*
ph33r my rod: *hauls ass*
Omega19x: *followed by spores*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *continues running and trying to fend off spore thingies*
Omega19x: *they reach the tunnel, which seems to push them along the way*
ph33r my rod: *run run, slash slash*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *running and trying to keep his balance*
Omega19x: *as they get a little farther inside it, the spores stop coming for a second. And the ones that are there, are quickly being slashed*
BEWD CEO: ...Why the hell aren't they following us anymore?
ph33r my rod: ... *panting lightly* The hell?...
Omega19x: *tunnel pushes them along*
BEWD CEO: ...Tell me I'm not the only one to feel that.
ph33r my rod: *pushed along* ...you're not.
Omega19x: *a little shaking, but not much*
ph33r my rod: ...better than those quakes, at least.
Omega19x: *a few spores here or there*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *eyes narrow thoughtfully* ...
ph33r my rod: ...doesn't seem like there's much to worry about here.
Egyptian Hot Rod: ...doesn't seem like it, but nothing is definite.
BEWD CEO: Yeah, but if those are what's causing Ryou's disease, then it's unstoppable.
ph33r my rod: *idly swats at the few spores that are there*
Omega19x: *they vanish as the light touches them*
Omega19x: *weak little suckers, aren't they*
ph33r my rod: ...heh, at least these things are easy to get rid of.
Egyptian Hot Rod: ...where is that light coming from?
Omega19x: *tunnel pushes you along*
Omega19x: (light is from the swords(
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Ah, kay. ^^ ]
ph33r my rod: (( Yes, we gots shiny swords of light <3 ))
Omega19x: (think swords of revealing light, only more offensive)
BEWD CEO: *wooooo being pushed...still...*
Omega19x: (as opposed to defensive)
Omega19x: *a few more spores fly at Kaiba*
BEWD CEO: *woo, KILL THE LIL' BUGGERS! >XD*
Omega19x: *this time, they dodge the sword*
ph33r my rod: ...shit.
BEWD CEO: *...aw crap...>.>;*
BEWD CEO: ...Fucking lil' buggers! *slashes again* As annoying as damn bugs...
Omega19x: *that time, he got them*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *continues slicing at random bugs* *slice slice*
ph33r my rod: *slash slash, needs badass background music*
Omega19x: *a strange noise... like... water...*
ph33r my rod: ...hey, you guys hear that?
BEWD CEO: (...*facepalm*...-_-;; )
Egyptian Hot Rod: ...It sounds like...
ph33r my rod: *turns and looks in the direction of the noise*
Omega19x: *a small (although quite large to you) river of water runs through the tunnel*
ph33r my rod: ... Oh fuck.
BEWD CEO: (...Sooooo...we shrunk, pretty much, and are in his BODY?)
Omega19x: *picking you up, as well as any spores stuck along the edges.*
Omega19x: (very good!)
BEWD CEO: (...*blinks* And...his soul room has WHAT to do with his body?)
ph33r my rod: (( *figured that out a LONG time ago* XD ))
Omega19x: (and you guys just ran down the wrong tunnel)
Omega19x: (it's a good place to start, duh)
Omega19x: *there is an opening at the end of the tunnel*
ph33r my rod: *pulled by water*
BEWD CEO: (THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL! *shot*)
Omega19x: *and there's no getting back up this tunnel*
ph33r my rod: (( ... Is anyone else here suddenly reminded of the Magic School Bus? ))
BEWD CEO: (...Are we gonna be burned alive by the digestive fluids in his stomach?)
Egyptian Hot Rod: *is swept away with the current*
BEWD CEO: (YES!)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ XD ]
BEWD CEO: (XD *high fives*)
Omega19x: (yay magic school bus)
ph33r my rod: (( >D ))
Omega19x: (oh, do converse among yourselves)
ph33r my rod: Guys, this sucks.
BEWD CEO: No fuck, Malik.
Omega19x: *opening, dead ahead... oh maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'dead' in that sentence...*
BEWD CEO: (XD...)
ph33r my rod: (( *meep* ))
Omega19x: *and down they fall*
ph33r my rod: SHIT! *falls*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *falls, yelling*
BEWD CEO: *...same as the others, so no need to re-write it XD; *
ph33r my rod: (( ...I second the thought on the stomach acid thing. :x ))
Omega19x: *the area around them is like a black sack, hanging in thick folds. There's not much to land in... save a sticky mixture with the consistency of tar...*
Omega19x: (maybe Malik knows when the last time Ryou ate anything was...)
BEWD CEO: (>.O Ew.)
ph33r my rod: *hits icky stuff* ...ew.
Omega19x: *it's icky, sticky, and black*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *lands on his side and...rolls a bit in the tar*
ph33r my rod: (( It doesnt like... eat away at our skin or anything? ))
Omega19x: *it doesn't harm you*
ph33r my rod: (( Good. ))
BEWD CEO: *falls face first, because I feel like ew factor to the max XD;* ...*lifts head up* ...Oh...god...I hate this fucking DAY!
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Don't want them getting their clothes burned off. *cough* ]
ph33r my rod: (( More like armor, but yes. :3 ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: *turns to Seto and passes him a sympathetic look*
Omega19x: *in fact, that looks like it's been there awhile, not really being digested or anything... one would assume you're safe for the time being*
ph33r my rod: *attempts to stand up in the mess, but slips and falls back down*
Omega19x: *the walls around you are black... it only takes a moment to see why*
Omega19x: *they're lined with the same spores you just fought*
ph33r my rod: ...oh hell.
BEWD CEO: ...Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me...
Omega19x: *nope*
BEWD CEO: (XD)
Egyptian Hot Rod: ...more of them?
Omega19x: *and you don't see anywhere to run*
BEWD CEO: ...Guess we just obliterate them with our pimping swords of light?
ph33r my rod: (( ...do they have any idea they're in Ryou's body yet? :o ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: *glances around quickly, assessing the situation*
Omega19x: (who is they?)
ph33r my rod: (( Uh, our heroes? XD ))
BEWD CEO: (XD Seto didn't even get the SOUL ROOM, so...not him.)
Omega19x: (gee... do you?)
ph33r my rod: (( Or are they assuming it's some weird part of the soul room? ))
Omega19x: (you decide when you get it)
ph33r my rod: (( Bah, nevermind, let's just kick some ass. XD ))
BEWD CEO: (THAT'S the spirit. XP)
Omega19x: *the spores are everywhere*
Omega19x: *e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e*
ph33r my rod: *finally managed to pull himself up, and holds his sword out* ...okay, you little bastards...
BEWD CEO: (...Emphasis on everywhere...? O.o;)
BEWD CEO: (...EW, did we land in critter guts? XD)
Egyptian Hot Rod: *tightens his grip on the sword*
Omega19x: *in they swarm*
Omega19x: *and in they attack*
ph33r my rod: *smirks, SLASHFEST!*
BEWD CEO: *hacking, slashing--aw, y'all know the routine now*
BEWD CEO: (*SPITS OUT SODA* SLASH! >XD)
BEWD CEO: (ORGY!)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ *COUGH* ]
Omega19x: *but for every one you kill, there is at least two more to take their place*
ph33r my rod: (( ...pervs. ))
Omega19x: *surely there is a better way to do this...*
BEWD CEO: (...Surely...*blinks*)
ph33r my rod: Aw, these things are pissing me the hell off!
BEWD CEO: How *slash* many *slash* of these things *slash* ARE THERE?!
Omega19x: *they can imagine how sick Ryou has been... how many do you THINK are there... more than you can count*
Omega19x: *hacking and slashing will eventually get you nowhere...*
Egyptian Hot Rod: The amount *thwap* seems to be doubling *slice* every time we *swipe* kill one.
BEWD CEO: ...*pants*...Okay...this...isn't working here...
ph33r my rod: ...this is getting us nowhere.
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Are these things virulent? ]
ph33r my rod: *blinks in realization* Hey, we've got the gods' powers here. Why the fuck aren't we using them?
Omega19x: (the spores, they are much more harmful to Ryou than they are to you. You are merely spirit forms)
BEWD CEO: ...What do you mean? Are you saying we can blast beams at them and smite them or something? I'd sure like to know how to do THAT...
Omega19x: *all the power you need rests in your weapons. Your armor will protect you.*
BEWD CEO: (...)
BEWD CEO: (Seto: ...We've been USING our weapons...)
Omega19x: (use them better)
ph33r my rod: ... *looks at his sword, experimentally touches it to Seto's sword... anything special happen?*
BEWD CEO: (XD *feels like D&D now*)
Omega19x: *a larger blast shoots out of both of their swords together, and a ton of the little spores vanish*
ph33r my rod: ...holy shit.
Omega19x: *you can even see a little spot of pink amongst the black*
ph33r my rod: (( YAY PINK AND BLACK! <3 ))
BEWD CEO: ...Um...How 'bout we do that again? *touches sword to Atemu's*
BEWD CEO: (...Must...not think...dirty thoughts..)
Omega19x: *the same thing happens, and more of the spores dissappear*
ph33r my rod: ...let's try all three?
Egyptian Hot Rod: And to think we didn't deduce this earlier.
Omega19x: *by combining them together, you increase the output*
BEWD CEO: (XD By a hell of a lot!)
Egyptian Hot Rod: *holds out sword*
ph33r my rod: *holds out sword*
BEWD CEO: *same*
ph33r my rod: (( I so need to draw this. o.o ))
BEWD CEO: (TIMAEUS, CRITIAS, AND HELMOS! >XD *shot*)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ *is imagining Power Rangers* ]
Omega19x: *a large area of the spores vanish*
ph33r my rod: (( ...not quite. ^^ ))
Omega19x: (go go power rangers!)
BEWD CEO: (AAAAGH! *covers ears*)
ph33r my rod: (( *dead* XD ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: Angle it upwards, there's a larger amount concentrated there.
BEWD CEO: (...MUST...NOT...THINK DIRTY THOUGHTS...)
ph33r my rod: *angles sword up, touches other two*
BEWD CEO: (...Not..resisting...thoughts well...)
Omega19x: *beam of light, lots of them vanish*
Omega19x: *the flash of light is almost blinding*
ph33r my rod: *squints*
Omega19x: (what do you think is better? to have them not know, or to let them watch)
Omega19x: (them being other window)
BEWD CEO: (...How would they watch? XD)
Omega19x: (invite the players, I mean)
BEWD CEO: (OH.)
BEWD CEO: (I thought you meant the characters. XP I say let 'em suffer.)
ph33r my rod: (( I think we'd get too carried away with OOC comments, since we're the only ones here actually doing anything. ))
Omega19x: (okay)
Omega19x: (they suffer)
ph33r my rod: (( *cackles* ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ XD ]
Egyptian Hot Rod: *glances away from the blinding light*
Omega19x: *lots of the spores die*
BEWD CEO: Fuck, we should've tried this before...
ph33r my rod: ...well, this has made our jobs a hell of a lot easier.
Omega19x: *there is a way out of there. It's under the icky stuff*
BEWD CEO: ...Question--how do we get back up THERE so we can beat those things we couldn't before?
Egyptian Hot Rod: *squints when he notices something off to the side*
Egyptian Hot Rod: Seto, to your right; do you see that?
BEWD CEO: What? *looks over*
Omega19x: *it looks like a small opening, they could fit out, one at a time*
ph33r my rod: *looks over*
BEWD CEO: ...That'll work. C'mon, let's get out of this...crap. Ick.
ph33r my rod: ...yeah, maybe we can clear some of this gunk away. Ew.
Omega19x: (yes, congratulations. you're in the digestive tract. only one way to go, folks)
BEWD CEO: (XD)
ph33r my rod: (( Ewwwww. @_@ ))
ph33r my rod: (( ...www.! ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ .... x.x ]
BEWD CEO: (THAT'S WORSE THAN BEING DIGESTED ALIVE!)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ !!! ]
ph33r my rod: (( *ded* ))
Omega19x: *you know this isn't the way you'd prefer to go*
BEWD CEO: (...Say, do either of YOU know we're in Ryou's body?)
ph33r my rod: (( It's about time one of us realized it... XD ))
BEWD CEO: (*pokes Atemu* He's the detective..)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh shit. "Special Weather Statement". I gotta watch this. ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ XD 'Kay ]
Omega19x: (it's raining)
Egyptian Hot Rod: *pulls back his sword*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *now that he can see better without the blinding light, he takes an experimental step closer to the opening*
Omega19x: *it's small, one can go through at a time. And he can gather to where it leads*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *glances back up to the tunnel they fell through, then gaze returns to the opening* ...Seto, Malik...
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
Egyptian Hot Rod: Come look at this.
BEWD CEO: ...Oh, this isn't going to be good, is it...
ph33r my rod: *walks over to look*
Omega19x: *most of the spores are gone, so you're hardly bothered*
BEWD CEO: *looks....over Malik's shoulder again, just cuz I feel like making him feel short*
Egyptian Hot Rod: Remember the variosu tunnels we encountered? Then the earthquakes... and the water...
ph33r my rod: *nods*
ph33r my rod: (( Hey, Seto's only a few inches taller, stfu. >P ))
BEWD CEO: (XP Still shorter...)
Egyptian Hot Rod: Think back to the one we just fell through carefully. And look at this opening.
Egyptian Hot Rod: ...It should remind you of human anatomy.
ph33r my rod: *thinks*
BEWD CEO: ....*clicks* AW HELL.
ph33r my rod: ...
ph33r my rod: *clicks* We're inside his BODY?
BEWD CEO: Weren't we just in a damn hallway with doors? What the hell?
ph33r my rod: (( Malik: Well, this wasn't quite how I pictured being insi-- *SHOT* ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: We were in his soul room then.
Egyptian Hot Rod: But the trap door we fell through must have led us here.
BEWD CEO: *blinks* ...Oookaaaay...
ph33r my rod: ...weird.
ph33r my rod: And this has to be the stomach... *takes a look around* Ra, it's been a long time since he's eaten anything...
Omega19x: *very good*
BEWD CEO: ...So that there leads...*facepalm* I hate this fucking day...
Omega19x: *but this isn't what you're looking for*
ph33r my rod: ...and if this is the stomach, then... *looks at the opening* ...oh, hell no.
BEWD CEO: (XD Same frame of mind...)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ XDD ]
ph33r my rod: ...uh, yeah, we should try and find somewhere else to use our sexy powers at.
Omega19x: *there is only one way out*
Omega19x: *and it isn't up*
Egyptian Hot Rod: ... But if you look around carefully, there is no other way out.
BEWD CEO: ...*still muttering* Stupid fucking day...
ph33r my rod: ...wekk, fuck.
ph33r my rod: *well
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Wekk! :D ]
BEWD CEO: (...Makes me think Wiki..)
ph33r my rod: (( ... XD ))
ph33r my rod: *facepalm* Do we HAVE to...?
Egyptian Hot Rod: *glances between Seto and Malik* If you're both uncomfortable, I will go first.
BEWD CEO: Uncomfortable with the thought of being shitted out? Yeah..how'd ya guess?
Omega19x: (mumbles something about boldly going where no man has gone before...)
ph33r my rod: (( *ded* ))
ph33r my rod: ...if this means saving Ryou, then... *sighs exasperatedish*
ph33r my rod: (( In other words, he'd better thank us reaaaaal good when we get done. ;D ))
Omega19x: *so off you go?*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *off we go~*
ph33r my rod: *off we go... T_T*
Omega19x: *one at a time through the opening.*
BEWD CEO: *off we go, muttering about the stupid fucking day*
ph33r my rod: *thinking: It's all for Ryou it's all for Ryou it's all for Ryou...*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *thinking along the same lines as Malik*
Omega19x: *when you get through, you see mostly all black again. The lining of the wall looks like soft pinecones, thousands of fingerlike projectiles.*
ph33r my rod: (( VILLI! :D ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ OMG! XD ]
Omega19x: *and you can see blood vessels through them...*
Omega19x: *and of course... more spores*
Omega19x: *always more spores...*
ph33r my rod: ...yay, more fun for the cleanup crew.
BEWD CEO: Guess we'd better get rid of THIS crap, too. More sword fun?
ph33r my rod: ...sword fun. *sword touchy*
Omega19x: *more spores vanish. You can see blood vessels thorugh the lining of the wall*
BEWD CEO: (...Still mustn't think dirty things...)
ph33r my rod: (( Must not think yaou must not think yaoi must not think yaoi... ))
Omega19x: *a way out to the rest of the body*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *in the midst of their touchy sword moment, wonders if the light and killing of spores is hurting Ryou*
Omega19x: *unless you really want to end up as Ryou Shit*
BEWD CEO: (Seto: x.x Really, we don't.)
ph33r my rod: (( ...ewww... ))
Omega19x: *the more you fight, the more spores die*
ph33r my rod: *big shiny light beam, DIE BASTARD SPORES DIE*
Omega19x: *after a while, the area around you is clear*
BEWD CEO: ...Okay, so now that THAT'S done...
Omega19x: *there are lots of spores everywhere else, of course.*
ph33r my rod: This is so much easier with the Big Shiny Light Beam.
BEWD CEO: *...coulda said that before...*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *steps up the lining of the wall*
Omega19x: *there are blood vessels there, and ways to get in them*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *tentatively touches* I think this may be our second option.
ph33r my rod: ...hey, guys. I just had a thought...
ph33r my rod: If we go to the source of the problem, then they should go away everywhere else, right?
BEWD CEO: ...But we don't know where that IS.
Omega19x: *you know it's not where you are*
Omega19x: (whistles innocently with the captain obvious statements worthy of Isis)
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
ph33r my rod: Well... I figure since blood runs into every part of the body, and it's pumped from the heart... maybe that's where the source of all this shit it?
ph33r my rod: *is
BEWD CEO: ...Ride in his bloodstream. GOD, I hate this day more and more...
Omega19x: *you can climb into a vein from where Atemu was standing*
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Bah, brb in 5 min. ]
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ I swear it's not an hour when I say that. x.x ]
BEWD CEO: (XD...)
ph33r my rod: (( What, not surprised that Malik figured that out all by himself? *shot* ))
ph33r my rod: (( *prods Anja* >> Grrrrrr. ))
ph33r my rod: *walks over to where Atemu is*
Omega19x: *Malik can see the cells inside the blood going by, they are so close*
BEWD CEO: ...This isn't gonna hurt Ryou, is it?
ph33r my rod: ... *sighs* It might, but... if it'll help him out in the end, then...
BEWD CEO: ...*shrugs* Aw, what the hell, let's go then. *...hops into blood?*
Omega19x: *as they pass into the bloodstream, they do not notice the large amount of spores that came right back to where they last were*
BEWD CEO: (>.<; )
ph33r my rod: (( X_X ))
Omega19x: (yeah. lot of good that did)
BEWD CEO: (THE SOURCE!)
ph33r my rod: (( THE SOURCE. ))
Omega19x: *there are always more spores to take their place*
Omega19x: *you are now in the bloodstream*
BEWD CEO: (...Drowning? XD *shot*)
Omega19x: *ther eare oddly shaped dark red blood cells floating about... they look diseased. A fine black mist floats through the vein*
ph33r my rod: (( I'd imagine that his blood isn't in very good condition. :< ))
ph33r my rod: (( ...well, I sure called that one. ))
Omega19x: *you see a single white blood cell nearby, as it gets devoured completely by the spores, turning a dead black*
Omega19x: *very poor condition, dear Malik*
ph33r my rod: *hopes the gods have given them powers of breathing under plasma*
Omega19x: *the mist does not look like spores, but the building blocks of spores*
ph33r my rod: (( Or wait, they don't need to breathe, since they're in spirit form... ))
Omega19x: *there are spores here and there, though*
Omega19x: (in spirit form, you do not need to be concerned with that, no. But you can feel pain and such)
ph33r my rod: *floats through blood stream, swiping at the few spores there*
BEWD CEO: (*shifty eyes* Random bit of info that'll come in handy later?)
Omega19x: *but where to go from here*
ph33r my rod: (( Guess we just have to wait until it carries us into the heart? LET'S REPAIR SOME BLOOD CELLS! ))
Omega19x: *wherever the blood leads, I suppose... You are in a vein*
Omega19x: *and in case you wonder, the few white blood cells you do see are more concerned with the spores than with you. They do not attack you as though you are germs*
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Back! :D ]
ph33r my rod: (( XD I was just about to prod you. :P ))
Omega19x: *and like any good vein from the digestive tract, this one goes past the liver.*
Omega19x: *which you can see up ahead... black, more spores than you've ever seen... But what would you expect from an organ supposed to rid the body of toxins...*
ph33r my rod: ...holy Ra.
Omega19x: *thankfully the organ is at least functioning somewhat... a testament to Khons powers*
Omega19x: *but the spores are getting... how shall I put it... angry now...*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *staring at Ryou's liver in some amount of horror*
ph33r my rod: (( Oh shit, this isn't good. XD ))
Omega19x: *they see you as a threat.*
ph33r my rod: *blink blink*
Omega19x: *you can see white blood cells losing the fight as spores come through the hepatic artery*
Omega19x: *and towards you*
BEWD CEO: (XD As if that's any different than any other time...)
ph33r my rod: *holds sword out at oncoming spores* Sword light beam fun?
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ XD Poor Ryou... ]
Omega19x: *this time, they mean business...*
Egyptian Hot Rod: We're in Ryou's bloodstream... this could hurt him.
ph33r my rod: ...shit.
Omega19x: *you are right next to the liver*
Omega19x: *you could hop out of the blood if you wished*
ph33r my rod: ...suddenly, getting out of this blood sounds like a very good idea.
Egyptian Hot Rod: There-! We can take the route to the liver.
Omega19x: *lots of black spores...*
ph33r my rod: Yeah, let's get the hell out of here before we become spore food.
Omega19x: *so out to liver?*
ph33r my rod: *out to liver!*
Omega19x: *and into spore-city!(
Omega19x: *many more spores... and they all want you!*
ph33r my rod: ...oh hell.
Omega19x: *they want to destroy you... Something is making them more violent than before... perhaps something... somewhere... fears you...*
Omega19x: *and wants to stop you*
Omega19x: *they come straight at you!*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *barely manages to duck a whizzing spore*
Omega19x: *more like a hundred whizzing spores*
ph33r my rod: SHIT!
Omega19x: *with more on the way*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *hastily pulls out the sword to defend himself*
Omega19x: *they dodge it*
ph33r my rod: *blindly slashes at spores, but there are just too many*
Omega19x: *yes... much too many..."
Omega19x: *
BEWD CEO: *triple sword blast again?*
ph33r my rod: *triple sword blast!*
Omega19x: *you blast... and many die... but many more keep coming... where are they all coming from?*
ph33r my rod: This really fucking sucks!
Omega19x: *they keep coming*
Omega19x: *from all directions*
Omega19x: *there is nowhere to run*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *swearing* If only we could find the source.
Omega19x: *Ryou appears, in a coat of white armor, in the middle of the battle, swinging a sword of his own!*
ph33r my rod: ... *blinks*
Omega19x: *taking out a lot of spores on the way in*
Omega19x: *cutting a path*
ph33r my rod: ...Ryou?!
BEWD CEO: ...What the hell?
BEWD CEO: How are you in YOUR OWN BODY?
Omega19x: "... Khons... I told him I would fight too."
Omega19x: *the spores keep coming, but at least Ryou had cut a path*
Egyptian Hot Rod: ... But if you're in your own body now, then you...! *sentence is cut off by more slicing goodness*
ph33r my rod: ...well shit, I'm not complaining, let's kick some ass!
Omega19x: *Ryou slashes with his own sword... it is quite powerful indeed.*
ph33r my rod: (( QUADRUPLE LIGHT BEAM! ))
BEWD CEO: (YES!)
Omega19x: *Ryou nods*
Omega19x: *adding his own sword to the team's pile*
ph33r my rod: *BIG-ASS LIGHT BEAM!*
Omega19x: (outside team requests pause)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ XD ]
ph33r my rod: (( Well, looks like Kura's got it under control now... ))
Omega19x: (unpause)
BEWD CEO: (...Not like CPR'll work if...Ryou's HERE...?)
Omega19x: *big ass light beam*
Omega19x: *a large chunk of the spores vanish... leaving a way to escape, back into the bloodstream*
Omega19x: "... hurry!"
Omega19x: "I'll hold them off!"
BEWD CEO: *hurries?*
Omega19x: *blasts them, his sword about as powerful as two others... Khons power of healing is tremendous!*
ph33r my rod: ... *hurries*
Omega19x: *spores keep coming*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *ditto*
Omega19x: *blasting*
Omega19x: *Ryou's image starts to fade a little*
ph33r my rod: ...Ryou!
Egyptian Hot Rod: *glances over his shoulder mid-run*
Omega19x: "... what's... happening..."
Omega19x: *image starts to fade more*
ph33r my rod: ... *hesitant to get back in bloodstream*
Omega19x: *image really fading*
Omega19x: "... go.. .hurry!!"
ph33r my rod: ... *nods and hauls ass* ...
Omega19x: *image of Ryou is gone now*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *makes it to the vein, very much worried about Ryou*
ph33r my rod: *in vein*
ph33r my rod: *also very worried*
BEWD CEO: Fuck...he was better than all of us--how the hell do we fight these things without him now?
Omega19x: *the spores are still at the liver, some chasing after you*
Omega19x: *but you are back in the vein*
Omega19x: *there are spores around you... the mist in the blood looks darker than before*
ph33r my rod: ...fuck, guess we're stuck with getting rid of this stuff.
Omega19x: *and here it comes*
Omega19x: *more spores!!*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *uselessly continues hacking at them*
BEWD CEO: *um...same?*
ph33r my rod: *hack hack slash slash*
Omega19x: *well that kills the ones you hack*
ph33r my rod: (( Malik: *hack hack sign sign* *shot* ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ But don't two others return? ]
Omega19x: (not literally, that was merely a visual aid to demonstrate how many of them there were)
Omega19x: (which is LOTS!)
ph33r my rod: (( So where're we headed now? :x ))
Omega19x: *you're in a vein. you know where veins go*
ph33r my rod: (( ... *cackles* <3 ))
ph33r my rod: (( Timelapse to heart or wherever this vein is going~? ))
Omega19x: *veins go to hearts!*
BEWD CEO: *YAY!*
ph33r my rod: *MAGICAL BLOODLAPSE!*
Omega19x: *you can see the heart as you approach it. It is almost black, again, covered in more spores.*
BEWD CEO: *as our unconscious bodies are unceremoniously dumped into a closet!*
Omega19x: *iti s beating very fast, inefficently*
ph33r my rod: ...oh Ra.
Omega19x: *lots of spores, waiting to attack as you approach the valves*
Egyptian Hot Rod: It should go without saying that we must be very careful here...
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *approaching cloooser*
Omega19x: *at the heart, and in a mess of spores*
Omega19x: *thousands of them*
BEWD CEO: ...Holy FUCK...
ph33r my rod: ... *completely stunned*
Omega19x: *not as many as were at the liver, but then again, the liver does have a lot of blood running to it, and do a lot of things*
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
BEWD CEO: *...triple blade blast as per usual?*
Omega19x: *blast away some of the spores, more keep coming*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *swears some more*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *continues, determined*
Omega19x: *more of the same, sadly*
BEWD CEO: Anyone got any better ideas?
ph33r my rod: ... *thinks*
Omega19x: *but at least you're making headway*
ph33r my rod: There's gotta be more power than this...
Omega19x: *you are so close to the heart, you can feel it beating... erratically*
BEWD CEO: (>.O I'll be back...I need some aspirin...my retainers were tightened, and my teeth ache like hell now...)
Egyptian Hot Rod: I agree. There must be a source of power we have not tapped into yet...
Omega19x: *the abnormal heartbeat frightens you*
BEWD CEO: (Seto: ...Oh, it does? Oh, okay...*is frightened*)
ph33r my rod: ...god, his heartbeat...
Omega19x: *it's out of control*
Omega19x: *can see the valve open and close now*
Omega19x: *more spores come through it*
Omega19x: *suddenly, Ryou's form appears in front of them, just as a large wave of spores tries to devour them all!*
ph33r my rod: ...holy shit!
Egyptian Hot Rod: *thinks: Is that... Could that be where the spores are coming from?*
Omega19x: *and the heart stops beating*
ph33r my rod: ...
Omega19x: *Ryou's sword strikes the bunch down*
Omega19x: *his blast seems more powerful than before*
Omega19x: "... hurry... There's not much time..."
BEWD CEO: Hurry WHERE?
ph33r my rod: ...in there, where the spores are coming from...?
Omega19x: "... to where this... all started!"
ph33r my rod: *has gotten rather worried since the heart stopped*
Omega19x: *the valve to the right ventricle is open*
Omega19x: *waves of electricity shoot around them suddenly*
ph33r my rod: What the FUCK?
Omega19x: *the ground they are standing on shakes violently*
BEWD CEO: (>XD)
BEWD CEO: (Are THEY being electrocuted, too?)
Omega19x: (suit protects you)
BEWD CEO: (...Aw...XP)
Omega19x: (this isn't sketch or death, people)
ph33r my rod: ...come on, let's get in there and kick some ass!
ph33r my rod: (( XDDD SKETCH OR DEATH!! <33333 ))
BEWD CEO: (...Wha...?)
ph33r my rod: (( A thing they had at A-kon. If you didn't get shocked, you got a free sketch. :x ))
Omega19x: *there are spores all around them, but nothing unusual.*
ph33r my rod: ... *looking around*
Omega19x: *Ryou's image flickers*
Omega19x: *the heart beats slightly, slowly*
Omega19x: *the electricity stops*
ph33r my rod: ...
Omega19x: *the spores appear stunned slightly*
BEWD CEO: *blinks*
Omega19x: *no telling how long that will last*
BEWD CEO: The electricity...well, this is definately our chance!
Omega19x: *there is nothing but spores and heart muscle*
Omega19x: *there is no source here*
ph33r my rod: (( ...so the heart isn't the source? ))
Omega19x: (nope, sorry)
ph33r my rod: (( *head desk* ))
BEWD CEO: (Brain?)
Omega19x: "Are you alright?"
BEWD CEO: (IN BAKURA'S SOUL ROOM?)
ph33r my rod: ...this... doesn't feel right.
Omega19x: "... Are you hurt?"
Omega19x: *stands guard*
Omega19x: *in the slight moment of peace*
ph33r my rod: ... *shakes head*
ph33r my rod: Are you...?
Omega19x: "... I told Khons... this was my fight too."
ph33r my rod: ... *sighs, has been worried sick since this whole thing started happening*
BEWD CEO: ...Where are we supposed to go now?
Omega19x: "... where this started."
BEWD CEO: Like I said, we don't know WHERE that IS...
Omega19x: "I do."
ph33r my rod: ...
BEWD CEO: And it's...where?
BEWD CEO: Care to enlighten us? Maybe? That'd be nice.
ph33r my rod: (( Did Anja die? ))
Omega19x: "...The doctors frist said this was pneumonia. Where else would it be?"
ph33r my rod: ...the lungs.
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: "...I told Khons... to give me all of his strength."
Omega19x: "This is it, guys."
ph33r my rod: ... *nods*
Omega19x: *walks forward, slashing, toward the pulminary artery*
ph33r my rod: *follows, slashy slashy*
BEWD CEO: (..I think she DID die...XD; )
BEWD CEO: *follows, cuz...well, duh, nothing else TO do*
ph33r my rod: (( Malik: *drags Atemu along* ))
Omega19x: *comes to the fork in the artery, spores everywhere... EVERYWHERE!!*
ph33r my rod: ...holy SHIT.
Omega19x: *which lung is the correct lung?*
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ *wast tending to icy female stuff >> ]
ph33r my rod: (( Aaaa, curse that female stuff. >> ))
BEWD CEO: (._.)
BEWD CEO: ...Should maybe two of us go left and two go right?
Omega19x: *nods*
ph33r my rod: ...that sounds good.
Egyptian Hot Rod: Malik and Ryou...?
Egyptian Hot Rod: *semi-hopeful glance at Seto*
BEWD CEO: (Ah, all the lovebirds together...>XD)
ph33r my rod: (( *cackles* ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ >D ]
Omega19x: *fighting through spores this whole time, of course*
Omega19x: *they're coming from both directions at this point, and even from behind*
Omega19x: *Which way do you choose to go, Atemu and Seto?*
BEWD CEO: *...right?*
Omega19x: *two people go to the bigger lung. they see nothing but lots of spores*
Omega19x: *Malik and Ryou go left, and at first their vision is blocked.*
ph33r my rod: ...the hell? Can't see anything...
Omega19x: *then they see it... throughout all the bronchial tubes... a large thick black... entity... almost like a jellyfish. It can't be seen by mortals, as it doesn't quite exist in their realm. No doctor could ever pick up on it*
ph33r my rod: *eyes widen* What the...
Omega19x: "... THIS WAY!!"
Omega19x: *calls back for the other two*
BEWD CEO: *rushes over to THAT side* ...What the hell is THAT?
Omega19x: *gulp*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *quickly re-groups*
Omega19x: *they can see spores literally pouring out of it*
ph33r my rod: ...holy mother of Horus...
Omega19x: *black everywhere*
Omega19x: *the tentacles shoot out*
Omega19x: *starts swinging at the spores that are trying to cover the group*
ph33r my rod: SHIT! *blindly slashes at whatever he can*
Omega19x: *one of the tentacles comes close to Seto*
Omega19x: *and grabs him!*
Omega19x: *his image flickers*
BEWD CEO: ACK! *tries to slash at the tentacle-y thing but can't quite reach it*
ph33r my rod: SETO!
Omega19x: *the pain it delivers is tremendous!*
BEWD CEO: (>XD YAY! I KNEW PAIN WOULD COME!)
Egyptian Hot Rod: Seto!
BEWD CEO: *screams in paaaain that his mun loves so much*
Omega19x: (and you're back to consciousness...)
BEWD CEO: (...Am I? Oh...)
BEWD CEO: (*blinks* *goes to OTHER chat*)
Omega19x: "... Seto!"
ph33r my rod: Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck...
Egyptian Hot Rod: *gapes when he notices Seto's image flicker*
Egyptian Hot Rod: ...
Omega19x: "I can't get to him!"
BEWD CEO: *flicker flicker pain pain*
Omega19x: *he is still in this realm, and at the same time not, the God is pulling him away. He is in mortal danger!*
Omega19x: "I can't reach him! Can you?"
Egyptian Hot Rod: Seto-! *tries to reach for him*
Omega19x: "... cut him free!!"
Omega19x: *slashes at the spores, holding them off for the moment*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *slices with the thousand prideshipping powers behind him*
Omega19x: *the tenticle falls off*
Omega19x: *Seto's body drops*
BEWD CEO: (XD)
Egyptian Hot Rod: *quickly rushes over to Seto*
BEWD CEO: (Am I back or still flickering?)
Egyptian Hot Rod: Seto...!
Omega19x: (flickering stops, Seto's back)
ph33r my rod: ...fuck, that was close...
Omega19x: *more tentacles loom over them*
Omega19x: "... look out!"
BEWD CEO: ...Oh...god...my head...the fuck's going on...?
ph33r my rod: ...oh, hell no. *slashes at tentacles*
Omega19x: *they fall off, but they also grow back*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *one hand grasps onto Seto's, while the other holds the sword*
Omega19x: "... I can... hold off the spores... Get behind me!"
Omega19x: *Ryou's sword is the more powerful one*
ph33r my rod: *gets behind?*
Omega19x: (it is meant for healing, after all)
BEWD CEO: I'm...I'm fine. *shrugs Atemu off*
ph33r my rod: (( Must not think pervy thoughts, must not think pervy thoughts... ))
BEWD CEO: (XD)
Egyptian Hot Rod: *reluctantly lets go* ...Are you sure you're all right?
BEWD CEO: *...kinda not, but c'mon, what else is he gonna say?* Yeah, I'm sure.
Omega19x: *Ryou still slashes at the spores, keeping the other members of the group safe...until they can think of an attack*
BEWD CEO: (...Will triple/quadruple blade blasting help...?)
Omega19x: (you can try it, can't you)
Omega19x: (asking me won't help)
ph33r my rod: (( Let's give it a shot. :x ))
Omega19x: *Ryou nods, and bends down, so they can get a shot over him*
ph33r my rod: *big-ass light beam~*
Omega19x: *the beam strikes the entity*
Omega19x: *it does nothing*
ph33r my rod: ...shit.
BEWD CEO: ...We're all...kinds screwed here, aren't we...
Omega19x: "... there has to be something we can do..."
Omega19x: *the tentacle they chopped off, that held Seto... it's dead.*
Omega19x: *any part that touched Seto was dead... that tentacle is shorter than the others*
ph33r my rod: ... *looks around at the dead stuff*
Omega19x: *that's the only part of the entity to vanish*
Omega19x: *the rest is still there*
BEWD CEO: *chop chop more nasty tentacles?*
Omega19x: *the chopping has the same effect as before, the tentacles grow right back*
Omega19x: *not effect*
Omega19x: *what was different that other time?*
ph33r my rod: (( It was touching the armor? ))
Omega19x: (getting closer)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Touchin Seto? ]
Egyptian Hot Rod: *touching
BEWD CEO: (O.o It was zapping Seto-sama...)
Omega19x: (getting closer)
Omega19x: "... it's not working guys..."
BEWD CEO: (Gr...something to do with the swords?)
Omega19x: (getting closer... now put 1 and 1 and 1 together)
ph33r my rod: (( Let's all merge together into one huge GODMECH! *shot* ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ ... XD ]
Omega19x: (go go power rangers)
Omega19x: (now, any characters care to make suggestions?)
BEWD CEO: (...Um...?)
BEWD CEO: (*mind goes blank*)
Omega19x: "... It's not working..."
ph33r my rod: (( Wait, was I actually going somewhere with that? ))
Omega19x: *still slashing at spores, because if he doesn't they'll be overrun*
BEWD CEO: (XD)
BEWD CEO: (Um...hm...uh...CRAP...>.<; If only I was as smart as Seto...)
Omega19x: "... the only damage we've done... was when it was... touching Seto. But... but that couldn't have been good..."
ph33r my rod: ... *thinks* It's risky, but... maybe if we let those damn tentacles grab us, and then attack with everything we have...?
BEWD CEO: ...Um...that'd be kinda BAD...?
Omega19x: *the gods pulled Seto out of there.*
ph33r my rod: Well, think about it. The one that grabbed you is completely dead.
Omega19x: *which meant his spirit was in mortal danger*
BEWD CEO: *...yeah...?*
ph33r my rod: And it was all touching your armor... fuck, nevermind, it won't work.
BEWD CEO: *got that much...*
BEWD CEO: (...The gods...have something to do with it...?*grasping at anything now*)
Omega19x: "... no... maybe... maybe Malik's right... if someone ... could get inside there."
Omega19x: *there's a classic Ryou thought*
BEWD CEO: (DIRTY THOUGHTS, MAKE IT STOP *shifty eyes* *SHOT*)
ph33r my rod: (( :x ))
Omega19x: "... Get completely inside... then you could all attack."
Omega19x: *anyone can predict Ryou's plan...*
BEWD CEO: ...That....might work...
Omega19x: *but if the god pulls him out... there is nothing to come back to. He will die*
Omega19x: *power and all, where it is now*
BEWD CEO: ...If we go with this...who'll be the one to go?
ph33r my rod: (( So Ryou can't go inside at the risk of being pulled out, but the rest of us can? :x ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Makes sense, me thinks ]
Omega19x: (slowly getting it)
Omega19x: "... but our weapons are... more powerful together"
ph33r my rod: (( ...we take Ryou's sword with us? :x ))
Omega19x: "... if we could all... get inside... somehow..."
Omega19x: (anyone familiar with recombinant DNA?)
ph33r my rod: (( ...nope. ))
BEWD CEO: (...Yeah...BUT I DUN /WANNA/ REMEMBER BIO CLASS!)
Omega19x: (place a ring inside the cell. that should guide you enough)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ ...recombinant DNA. *shoots self* ]
ph33r my rod: (( *googles* ))
Omega19x: (basic concept, really)
Omega19x: (not the specifics)
BEWD CEO: (I'd probably have to recheck my notes anyway. XD; )
Omega19x: (I just patterned a good attack off of it)
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Kay, for a moment I was thinking back to the 5'-3' specifics and whatnot. ]
ph33r my rod: (( Everyone switch armor? :o ))
Omega19x: "... we need to fight it... inside of it..."
BEWD CEO: (Found my bio notes!)
ph33r my rod: (( ZOMG WE ALL JOIN HANDS IN A CIRCLE OF LIGHT AND FRIENDSHIP~ *shot* ))
Omega19x: (doesn't shoot)
ph33r my rod: (( ...wait, was that right? XDDD ))
Omega19x: (not the Anzu-sounding part)
BEWD CEO: (I know we talked about recombinant DNA, damn it--WHERE IS IT?)
ph33r my rod: (( ... >D ))
ph33r my rod: (( The "ring" thing tipped me off. :x ))
BEWD CEO: (SAMARA *shot*)
Omega19x: "... We'll have to do something soon..."
ph33r my rod: (( So if they're all inside, but touching each other somehow - say, hands joined in a circle - then they should be okay? O.o ))
Omega19x: (eh, not quite)
ph33r my rod: (( Well damn. ))
Omega19x: (concept: recombinant DNA, to put a new piece of DNA inside the nucleus of a cell, through the use of a virus, that will change something)
BEWD CEO: (FOUND RECOMBINANT DNA!)
BEWD CEO: (...Well, you got there before I did...>.>; )
BEWD CEO: (I forgot what chapter it was in...XD )
Omega19x: (sorry...)
ph33r my rod: (( Through the use of a virus... could that mean the tentacles? Or maybe the swords? ))
BEWD CEO: (I have...'any DNA that is made by connecting fragments of DNA from different sources--almost always 2 diff. species')
Omega19x: (I said concept, not specifics.)
ph33r my rod: (( Hell, let's all just stab the damn thing at the same time, see what that does. ))
BEWD CEO: (Okay, I remember that concept now. XD)
Omega19x: (we will now be the disease to it, so to speak. go inside, give it something it can't swallow... like light. But it is dangerous)
Omega19x: "... I think... If we... all go together... that I can protect you."
Omega19x: "... if I'm in the middle... I think... I ...I can protect us."
ph33r my rod: (( Oh, so the three of us surrounding Ryou. ))
Omega19x: "... at least long enough for us to attack inside it."
Omega19x: (to destroy it from the inside out)
ph33r my rod: (( Excellent. ))
Omega19x: (creative, nay?)
Omega19x: *still slashing at spores...*
Omega19x: "I don't know how long I can hold that kind of power though."
ph33r my rod: Ryou... if... if you get pulled out by the gods, though... your body is... there'll be nothing for you to go back to...
Omega19x: "If we don't succeed here... that's the same fate."
BEWD CEO: ...So...should we try it?
ph33r my rod: ... *nods*
Omega19x: "... keep one hand on me... and... one on your swords..."
BEWD CEO: *good chance we could all get pulled out/maybe die/baaad things...goody* *nods and does so*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *follows suit*
ph33r my rod: *does too* ...
Omega19x: "... if this doesn't work... you'll still survive... the gods will see to it."
Omega19x: "I know they will..."
ph33r my rod: But... but you...?
Omega19x: "...Khons has asked them to."
Omega19x: *closes his eyes, as white light surrounds them all*
Omega19x: "... go... go now!"
ph33r my rod: ... *goes*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *goes!*
Omega19x: *group runs forward*
Omega19x: *and together, bursts through the outer membrane of the jellyfish like entity*
ph33r my rod: (( Sounds painful. ))
Omega19x: *the pain is intense, but no one is flickering. Ryou's control is holding. The inside is dark, completely dark, but they can see the nucleus inside*
BEWD CEO: (XD For the blob, probably.)
Omega19x: *painful for all involved*
BEWD CEO: (Or...for us, too. <.< )
Omega19x: *the spores shoot out everywhere as the creature tries to fight what it can't see*
Omega19x: *the nucleus is small*
Omega19x: "... there!"
Omega19x: "... hurry!"
ph33r my rod: ... *holds sword out* Big-ass light beam?
BEWD CEO: BIG-ASS LIGHT BEAM! *swordy sword*
Omega19x: *the beam is great and powerful, but inside here, the swords don't seem to work!*
ph33r my rod: (( ...sword sword sword swordity sword, swordity sword sword sword swordity sword... ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: *eyes widen fractionally*
Omega19x: *they can't attack that way*
ph33r my rod: ...shit... not working...
BEWD CEO: ...FUCK...
Omega19x: *the creature felt a great deal of pain though... but the swords were too big to create a blast small enough to penetrate the nucleus*
ph33r my rod: Get... closer, maybe?... Stab the damn thing...?
Omega19x: "...I... I don't know how much longer I can hold it" *in obvious pain*
BEWD CEO: *winces* We'd better think of something fast...
Omega19x: *if the swords are too big...*
BEWD CEO: *pulls out dagger*
ph33r my rod: Shit... stay with us, Ryou... *remembers dagger, pulls it out*
BEWD CEO: (Almost forgot about those things..!)
ph33r my rod: (( Yeah, me too XD ))
Omega19x: *three of those would fit nicely inside the nucleus, four would fit even better*
Omega19x: (as I figured you would... heh heh heh...)
Omega19x: *this whole creature, as big as it is, is really only one cell*
ph33r my rod: *holds out dagger* Let's try that again, shall we?
Omega19x: "... the blast... would hit us too... We have to plant it... and get out!"
Omega19x: *his hold is starting to weaken*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *also pulls his dagger out*
BEWD CEO: (...Wait, WHAT? XD; )
ph33r my rod: (( O.o How would it hit us? ))
Egyptian Hot Rod: [ Reflection? *blinks* ]
Omega19x: (this is a great disease... when it explodes, do you really want it hitting you?)
ph33r my rod: (( ...ew, you're right. ))
Omega19x: (it's inside DNA, hitting you?)
Omega19x: (exactly)
ph33r my rod: ...so we all go up, stab it, and then get the hell out?
BEWD CEO: (...So...how the heck do we big-ass blast it, then?)
Omega19x: "... concentrate our energy... like I'm doing..."
ph33r my rod: (( And then the daggers go splodey or something? ))
Omega19x: "... concentrate it... into the daggers..."
ph33r my rod: ... *nods and concentrates*
Omega19x: "... HURRY!!"
Omega19x: *hold flickers, and they all almost flicker!*
Egyptian Hot Rod: *rushes and tries to concentrate as much energy as he can*
BEWD CEO: *does the same as the others?*
Omega19x: "... I can protect you... put... all you have into it..."
ph33r my rod: *puts in everything he has* ...
ph33r my rod: (( God, I can just imagine the pain now. XD ))
Omega19x: *reaches for his own dagger*
Omega19x: "... take... take mine!"
Omega19x: *tries to transfer as much energy as he can into it, while still holding the circle of protection together*
Omega19x: *is screaming*
ph33r my rod: *transfer, transfer, groan, etc*
