Monday Night, Barry's (Rikku's and Reno's) Warehouse, A Meeting (NFB)

[nobloodymessiah]

This was still a terrible idea. It had been a terrible idea when she had, offhand, asked Barry whether he could create vehicles in that warehouse of his. It had been terrible when she'd asked Joker if he knew how to pilot them, and he'd easily seen through the ruse. Terrible when she'd asked her friends for advice, and they'd insisted on inviting

Arrive/Mingle

[nobloodymessiah]

Chatter with other people nervously, before anything happens. Maybe compare notes on your weekend(s) and what embarrassing things you did.

The more she thought about it, the worse this idea seemed. Eleanor was just going to pace until it was time for the meeting to start.

"Don't stress so much," Joker told her. "We're all here to help. Try not to look so scared."

"I am scared," Eleanor said, shuddering. "I should never have let you talk me into this. You're all going to die and it will be my fault."

At least she was being optimistic!

Food and Drinks

[nobloodymessiah]

Various moddable snack entities, like chips and pretzels, and moddable juices and sodas. (No alcohol, sorry.)

Info On the Sub

[nobloodymessiah]

This thread is for Barry to give us a general update on how the sub is progressing and when it will be done.

Sub is not currently in the warehouse. Unless it is invisible!!! Do not doubt Barry's ability to make an invisi-sub!!!!

"Hey guys," Barry said with a wave. "If you're looking for the sub it's not in stealth mode. I didn't have time to implement a stealth unit anyway. Currently it's at the dock and I'll be doing a test run tomorrow to make sure everything is in order for the trip. It has a places to bunk, eat, meet and an infirmary. Celia's already seen it but if you need to check it out let me know and I'll give you a tour."

"So ... it's finished?" Eleanor asked, feeling a huge weight sink in her stomach. If it was finished, then this was real. All of this was really happening.

"Well if it's not then I got to head out now and start fucking bailing," Barry joked. "Yep. It's done. Watertight and good to fucking go."

The Plan

[nobloodymessiah]

To discuss that mess you are all thinking of doing.

Re: The Plan

[nobloodymessiah]

"All right," Eleanor said, once everyone had arrived and settled in. "So, let's start at the beginning."

Maybe if she told them everything, some of them would decide not to go after all. The thought cheered her up some.

She produced a poster that she'd found at Groovy Tunes.

"This is Grace Holloway," she explained. "She was a blues singer in St. Louis in the 1930s before she came down to Rapture. When I was six years old, my mother was arrested, and Aunt Gracie spent the next few months raising me. Our goal is to rescue her, if she's even still alive."

Re: The Plan

[notaweenie]

"What kind of obstacles are you expecting?" Barry asked, just to get the ball rolling.

Re: The Plan

[nobloodymessiah]

"Mostly, splicers," Eleanor said. "People who have treated themselves with genetic plasmids, thus altering their own DNA. The problem is, it isn't stable. So they've long since gone mad. They wander the streets like junkies, looking for more of their drug of choice."

She wished she had visual aids for this, but those proved impossible to obtain.

"They'll look like they're melting," she said. "Their bodies are degrading, so they'll be oddly lumpy or misshapen in places. And they'll come at us, hard. Especially me."

And while they were at it, the bad news.

"My body ... makes the drug they crave," she sighed. "It's flowing through my bloodstream. I imagine they'll be able to smell me coming from a mile away."

Anything Else?
