Night 49: Room of Earth

May 19, 2010 02:49

[From here]

"...What?"

The door slammed shut behind them and locked with a rather distinctive click. The Doctor glanced back at the door-which was very different on this side than it had been on that side-but it wasn't the slam or the door that ended up grabbing the Doctor's attention. There was a loud rumbling that did not, he was quite ( Read more... )

Dean was gonna go with a nice what the hell himself but sure, what summed it up pretty well too. Sweet and to the point.

He stared.

No way. No. Way. He'd gone this way plenty of times and they should be out on the field, not...here.

It was still there, this whacked out scene totally stolen out of Raiders of the Lost Ark and amped up on steroids. And then some. Dean scrubbed at his eyes with one hand, half-hoping he was roofied again - seriously, pretty lame when that was the best option - and glancing sidelong at the Doctor to make sure, again, that they were on the same page here. He couldn't tell if the other patient was just plain impressed or shocked or what. Man, Dean wasn't even sure himself. It took a long couple of seconds to get past the fact that the boulders were rolling from one hole to another along the walls, and actually see past 'em. Dean squinted, frowning ( ... )

The initial shock of the unexpected change in locale was fading, and the Doctor took a moment to assess the situation. On the one hand, the teleport (or else dimensional transport, though that seemed somewhat less likely) through one door and out another was fascinating to have encountered here, and potentially gave one, tiny clue towards the capabilities of the Institute. On the other hand... he had no idea where they had ended up.

He moved away from the door when Dean motioned for room, looking between the door the man was trying to break down and the boulders coming out of the walls and rolling across the room.

Dean's efforts against the door proved futile, so the Doctor focused on the boulders and the door beyond them. "Then it looks like that's our only way out..." he said, indicating the far door. "We'll just have to hope that door is unlocked ( ... )

Dean snorted. "Man, you make it sound so easy ( ... )

The Doctor grinned at Dean. "Easy? No... But it's a lucky thing you're here with me," he said confidently. Tricky or not, he had a distinct advantage over humans when it came to timeHe considered Dean's offer to carry his coat, and pulled it off. On the chance it were to be pinned under or between anything, it would be a danger... both for them and for the coat itself. He bundled it up and held it out for Dean to put in his bag. "Thank you. Take care of it, alright? I love that coat ( ... )

"Hopefully--Hoooly...." The remains of her grin fell from her face and her words were drowned out by the sound of a rampaging army. Her eyes grew in awe of the giant room they had wandered into. And the humongous boulders that rolled back and forth from crevices in the wall. The sound was close to deafening and, making sure she didn't miss any comments from Logan, she turned around, but he was just as speechless as she.

Really?

What purpose did this room serve? How--This was just getting ridiculous, who the hell installed something like this in an institute, anywhere for that matter? Tifa corrected herself. It wouldn't surprise her if Rufus had built something in the basement of ShinRa like this. She'd ask Rude about it later.

The most obvious option was to go back through the door they had come from. Hopefully it would teleport them somewhere better--Nope. Locked. Setting the beer and rolls down and put both hands on the doorknob, twisting as hard as she could. "Shit..." The noise ate up her curse.

Logan had been about to point out that he could carry a lot more than what she'd left him with when that same sense of vertigo cut him off.

It took him a second, when his eyes had adjusted, to wrap his head around the fact that he was in a room designed like the set of an action movie. With boulders. And he had gotten to that room from the pantry.He watched Tifa try the door. Big surprise that it didn't work; that would've been too easy ( ... )

36_24_35 May 24 2010, 06:43:22 UTC

"I think that's my line..." Tifa shouted back. Taking a few steps away from Logan, she shifted her weight on the tips of her feet from left to right, left to right. Her hands were balled as she brought them up to chest. A few quick jabs were unleashed before a roundhouse kick finished off her warm up. The young woman's arms fell to her side with a few jiggles and a roll of her neck.

"There doesn't seem to be any pattern with these boulders, so I guess we'll just wing it..." Her words remained even and calm despite a bit of anxiety that crept into her stomach. If she was at her full strength, this would be no problem. Unfortunately, she wasn't and Tifa had yet to truly find the limit of her speed. Maybe it was practically nonexistent?

No use crying over something I can't changeTying an extra knot into her sweatshirt sleeves, the brunette stuffed the bread into the pseudo supply bag and picked up Logan's bottle. She would like both her hands free, but if she put the beer in her sweatshirt, it would probably go flat and that was just ( ... )

Logan almost shot back that he was pretty sure he had an edge over a tough-talking girl who took aikido, but she knew almost as little about him as he did about her. The Q&A session could happen later; for now, she wasn't scared, and if they ran together, that was good enough for Logan. She looked lightweight enough to pick up fast, if it came to that.

The stuff around her waist would make it awkward for her to run. "Leave that here," he said, gesturing to the sweatshirt. "Take this one." He held out one of the things he'd been carrying. "I'll get the rest."

...She shouldn't be surprised. She really shouldn't. Renamon had no idea why she was. A room made of earth and peppered with holes. Yes. This was something perfectly normal in this place. She shouldn't question. It was no better or worse than the Digital World in this regard. The institute had monsters and other things to weaken--Why, then, wouldn't it take you elsewhere when you attempted to go somewhere ( ... )

"...you have got to be kidding me."

So of course, right after Wally managed to get his hands on some free food, they wind up some place where he couldn't eat it. Or at least, not without a lot of problems. He watched the boulders tumble down from... wherever they were coming from, since he didn't have the first clue where they were,

It probably said a lot that his first concern after finding himself in a room that was apparently raining rocks was how he was going to manage to eat his cake and ice cream now.

He took another bite of the chocolate cake - which was pretty delicious and moist for having been in the fridge without a cover - and turned to his companion.

"So, is it just me, or is it raining rocks in here? Because if it's just me, I'm going to have to wonder what they put in this cake, and if it's really raining rocks..." He glanced back at the rocks tumbling down. "Well that isn't going to be a lot of fun."

Scar had been busy with growing annoyed at these dizzy sensations that kept overwhelming him. They didn't do wonders for his throbbing head for that matter. What also didn't do wonders were the loud rumbling that filled the entire room.

"Rumbling? Where could this possibly--"

Any further words that would have formed were soon cut short when he saw what sort of area they had actually entered. He wasn't even going to ask where, as the what took most of his attention. A large room, with holes. From these holes, giant boulders rained down and rolled from one side to the other before disappearing into a different hole.

Scar stared, trying to wrap his mind around the scene that lay before him. On the other hand, there was also a part of him that was wondering why he was even surprised to begin with; a large room with giant boulders rolling over the ground and crushing everything unfortunate enough to stand there. This was, after all, Landel's Institute. It made perfect sense ( ... )

"You're kidding, right?" Wally asked, though it was more from a very faint (more like rapidly disappearing) hope that Scar had some sort of hidden love of pranks and that the next comment would be something along the lines of 'haha, fooled you!'. But considering how the guy had been acting so far? Wally wasn't going to hold his breath ( ... )

longlivetehking June 6 2010, 15:17:42 UTC

"Of course I am joking," Scar muttered, sarcasm dripping from his voice. "I simply love making jokes when faced with the possibility of being squashed by giant boulders." Ignoring the other man's hopeful stares towards the door as if the door was going to unlock itself when asked nicely, Scar turned and glared at the infuriating yet out-of-reach door on the other side of the room.

It suddenly seemed tempting to just wait here until the night would end, but with every rumbling sound it began looking like as if his head would explode from the worsening headache. No option, then. But the prospect of being likely squashed to death wasn't too appealing either; Scar happened to find his own life rather valuable.

Until Wally voiced an option that was nearly too good to be true. But the former lion couldn't help but to be skeptical. Before he would allow himself to be carried (trust was a different thing altogether. After all, he had only just met this individual), he had to ask:

"You can get us across? How?" Scar said with a raised ( ... )

As they moved out through the door, Okita shifted slightly to the side, ready to grab his sword and bolt for wherever he thought he saw movement. Instead he felt his stomach lurch like the floor gave way under him suddenly and his ears were deafened by a rumbling unlike anything he'd heard before. At first he might have thought it was thunder that was far too close combining with the driving force of the rain, but when his senses returned to him, he realized that was wrong. It was something else entirely - something quite...impossible ( ... )

A trick that might just kill them if Okita didn't set aside his distaste for the rurouni and what he'd just done in order to work together. He could potentially leave the man to die, but there was a higher risk that whatever lay beyond the door was far worse and would require even more teamwork. There was, however, one thing he could not stand and when Kenshin almost ordered him around. The swordsman couldn't help but give Himura a glance that said 'Strike one' and then took a step back, listening to the boulders crashing down and rolling through the room ( ... )
