Future's End RP Chapter 2: The Overlord's Desire...
 

The two trucks made their way through the streets, from the abandoned warehouses briefly through the main part of the city, and then into the slums. Once in the slums, they made their way to an ancient abandoned apartment building, and parked in the alleyway. Everyone got out of the trucks, and made their way down a secret passage Terminus showed that lead into the basement, which Thurg had a little trouble getting through...

Once in the basement, they found a sparsly decorated 'base', with newspapers sitting in piles, a few desks with chairs set up, an old TV, possibly old enough to go without the government required special tracking and monitering gear that let them keep an eye on anyone watching a pirated station, a TV channel created by a band of Net Runners who hacked into the Megacity Grid that connected all forms of communication and information. They were usually overlord sponsered, and could put up new stories or entertainment that was normally banned by Omega, and a computer.

Terminus said, "Welcome to the humble abode of our little resistance. We try to keep track of everything Omega does through contacts and pirated stations from here, and keep to just the bare essentials so we can move in a hurry whenever Omega finds us. We've already moved twice, just a step ahead of the Omega Burn Squads, and we will probably be moving again tonight since tehy probably knwo it was us after our little escapade... Regardless, I'm going to check on my contacts, and you all can make yourselves at home. Once I get an update, we can begin in earnest the mission of taking down Omega once and for all." Terminus walked away and sat at the old computer and began typing away. The other truck driver went to a small fridge in the corner and said, "Like Terminus said, make yourself at home." He grabbed a cheap beer out of the fridge, yet another illegal commodity, and sat down at the TV, flipping from news station to news station for anything of interest to the resistance.

How old is this place?
Deek asked the air as he scanned the room, seeing the centuries old posters and labels left from eras past.
What's that you're drinking?

The driver shrugged and said, "Probably over a hundred years old, we never checked. We only knew it was condemmed, and thus good for our needs. And this? It's a good old fashion beer, just like they brewed in the days before Omega. Has alcohol in it, and a pretty good taste. You all can have one if you want, we got quite a few in the fridge."

Think I could...I'm just used to nothing but numbered nutritional kits complemented by numbered nutritional supplements.
He pulls one out and opens it. Smells it and wrinkles his nose, but then takes a big gulp. He swallows it and his eyes light up
Holy crap, and they would have had me destroying stocks of this stuff?!
He stares at the can, downs the rest of it and sits, looking a bit more at ease with his surroundings.
That was amazing

Crushing the beer can between his teeth Jack noticed a few people staring at him. The had a 'Was he raised in a barn?' look on their faces.

Sucking out the liquid, throwing the can in a corner and burping loudly he shrugged and said, "Bark Bark - BURP!"

... ... ... "S'cuse me."

Spence tried to discreetly move over to the computer, as he got closer he cared less about being discreet. He stared over Terminus's shoulder at the console with a look of amazed rapture on his face.

"Is that... uh... Mr.Terminus, is the a 4600 T Excalibur Pro grade? It looks like it has some extra modifications to it, but the general design seems to match. I've only ever read about these, never actually gotten to see one."

What I wouldn't give to crack that baby open and see what makes her tick

OOC: Wow, alright, you are a serious n00b to RPing, so heres a quick rundown on all the things you just did wrong. 1. You posted in an RP without asking for permission, or signing up. I will say now, I am the GM of this RP (GM = Game Master) and this RP is full with way to many people already, so there isn't room for more. In the future, look for RPs that eithers A.) Say 'Sign-Up' in the name, B.) Say in the first line that it is a new RP, and that all you need to do is post to join, which are commenly know as 'Casual' RPs, or C.) Ask for permission to join an RP already in progress. this is chapter 2, so it is obviously already in progress. Thing number 2 you did wrong, was take control of another persons character, both one of mine as the GM (Terminus) AND another roleplayers (Spence, who belongs to Luocorn). This is SEVERELY frowned upon in ANY RP. People tend to get angry when it happens, so try not to do it again in any RPs you join here, or you will quickly get a bad reputation here. Now, I am a reasonable guy, and tend to give people a chance, so if you want to get started in RPing on the 8-bit forum, may I suggest joining Eternal Night (A sign up, follow the rules there and you'll be fine), Vampire IV (A casual RP, just ask what you need to do there, someone will help you), or Quest to Find the Holy Grail (Another sign up). These RPs are all open, and if you want to join any others, ASK first, wait for the GM to say if you can or can't, THEN you can begin posting. Anything with a chapter number higher then 3, you might want to avoid, because you will have missed too much before to be able to join in effectivly. Now, please delete your post, and keep these rules in mind in the future.

brock turned off his infrared vision circiut and went over to the driver that offered everybody a beer. "I better not. Alcohol tends to damage a couple of my enhancements." *goes over to Jack* "sorry about calling you wolfy. it's just that i didn't catch what your name was." *looks at deek* "sorry about not answering earlier. i was still getting over the excitment back there. My name's john but feel free to call me brock, bëo or hrothgar."

Jade did not like the enclosed place that she was in. I tmade her feel caged in, so she just decided to hang out leaning against a wall hoping that she would get a mission soon so she could go back out and bash some heads.

Jack patted Brock on the back. "Not at all, man, not at all. I take no offense. I was just hassling ya' anyways."

Grabbing another beer, and opening it properly this time, he looked around the room at all the people that had been recruited. Looked like a decent bunch to have on a Quest like this.

"I'll chat ya up later. Gotta go meet everyone else, y'know?"

Leaving Brock he made his rounds around the room and chatted with the people that seemed to tolerate his presence the most. He wasn't trying to be intimidating or anything, but he was a 7' foot/450 pound wolf.

He nodded his head towards Jade, alone in the corner. "Ma'am."

Walking over to where Spence was he looked at the computer and frowned. Scratching his head, he wondered what was so exciting about it. Leaning down to his level he whispered in his ear, "What are we looking at?"

OOC:Stuper, when you mentioned 'Wolfy' in a previous post I took it as a sign that they knew eachother. If you don't mind, and Zero has no objections, I'm going to continue playing it out that they do, infact, have some experience working together. Sound good?
