Night 49: Hall of Armor

May 24, 2010 20:38

[From here.]It was bad enough that the wave of dizziness returned as Edgar stepped through the doorway, but he'd almost prepared himself for it in the event the door to the Music Room was enchanted as well. What he hadn't prepared himself for was the sudden appearance of light on the other side of the doorway. He was blinded briefly, squinting as ( Read more... )

That terrible lurching transition wasn't getting any better the more it happened, and he didn't even need to look around to realize they probably weren't where they'd meant to end up. He braced himself for a moment against the wall near the door as he tried to get his equilibrium back, and took a look around, squinting a little as his eyes adjusted to the sudden illumination.

It only took a second to see what Edgar meant.

"Well, this would certainly solve our weapons problem." The suits of armor were a strange assortment, one of them even seemed to have a rifle similar to the model he'd used on Titan. "What do you think the chances are that we'll be able to take anything out of here?" As optimistic as he tended to be, even Gren couldn't help but think it had to be some kind of trap.

"Slim to none," Edgar replied casually as he approached the suits, eyeing the weapons held in their gauntlets: a sword, a partisan, a crossbow, a large drill, a few he didn't quite recognize... and then something he recognized very well. He approached a rough set of armor holding a chainsaw. Oh, how he missed his own tools ( ... )

"Yeah, that's what I thought." It would have been too easy, really. Ah, well. He was sure he'd get his hands on something to replace the flashlight as a means of protection eventually.

Feeling a little better, he followed Edgar into the room, looking at the suits a little more closely now. Some of the weapons were familiar (that really was a Heckler & Koch rifle, now that he looked at it) while others were pretty foreign looking to him.

"I don't know," he admitted. "It does seem pretty weird. And the architecture in here..." It certainly didn't look like the rest of the institute. Hell, it didn't look like anywhere Gren had ever been in his life. It was like a movie set someone had made painfully real. "It's either some sort of display hall, or..." He trailed off, not sure how to explain it. He had the weird sense that the room was just waiting, somehow.

"Yeah, you did." He walked away from the suit holding the rifle and towards the one Edgar was inspecting, arching an eyebrow. "Don't tell me you build chainsaws in your spare time

Edgar glanced over his shoulder and Gren, grinning knowingly. "I suppose I won't tell you, then," he said, wagging his finger in a playful manner.

He took a step closer to the armor, listening for any traps, any sound of gears moving within the suit that'd cause it to spring to life. The situation wasn't to be trusted; at the same time, he couldn't help but want to experiment. After all, whether by intentional magicking or some strange string of luck, they were in a room full of weaponry that was beyond what he could cobble together with pipes, air tanks, and crude equipment... for now, anyway.

"Stand back," he said quietly, as if the armor were listening. "I'm going to see what happens when we try to pry one of these beauties from the suits."

Heat took stock of the area, narrowing his eyes. He didn't say anything at first, as the hand-cannon held by one of the armored suits caught his attention. The demon pulled it easily out of its grip, examining the barrel curiously.

"No," he finally answered. "But I think I know where it might be." It wasn't his weapon, but it could be useful. Not that he'd had much need for guns like this after the virus, but he'd still brought it out every so often - like whenever they found Omoikane in the Junkyard. Annoying little bastards ( ... )

[Sorry for the hangup, guys! I swear I'm done being sick now D8]

Well, now they were somewhere totally different that he didn't realize. He didn't know if that was a step in the right direction or not, but at least it was a change of scenery.

"No clue where this is, but--Hey!" Beelzemon was completely and irrevocably distracted the moment he saw a real sawed-off shotgun that one of the armor suits was holding. He pried the thing out of its grip and looked it over, a big grin spreading across his face. Fully loaded and everything! Suddenly, he didn't care where they were. Could have been inside the D-Reaper, it didn't matter because now he had a gun!
