Containment

[Coolpikaaa]

"Excuse me miss, would you like to try out your luck today?"

An older looking man with a cane had appeared behind the peaved woman about to expose Gunther, cutting her off.

'Infact!' The senior sprung up, addressing everyone in the room. 'Would any of you be willing to take a dangerous risk in pursuit of your dreams!?'

The woman shook his hand off and stared at him. Sometimes, just the strain of being in this prision did things to one's mind. It looked like this old man one just another one of the casualties.

Not seeming to mind that everyone was staring at him like a crazy person, the old man with a cane ambled across the room with surprising agility.

"Come one, come all, to experience the joys and drama of my newfound powers! Just trade in an item of acceptable worth, and allow me to use my power, generating one completley random effect on your mortal bodies!'

Surprising everyone, he easily overturned a bunk, nearby to one shy boy in hiding.

"...just step into my office."

Tic-tac-toe?

The teen that had followed Agoeb was really starting to unnerve him. First he followed him around like a puppy, then fell asleep for no reason, now wanted to play games.

But then again, he really was just as bored as Agoeb. Maybe he wasn't too bad...

Suddenly Agoeb turned as a bunk flipped over, crashing to the floor.

"Wha-!?"

---
Immidiatly upon hearing the word "powers" in the old man's speech, the facility's door swung open violently and two guards in the infamous black suits rushed in, weapons drawn.

"Mitchel Peters," one of them said in an amplified voice, pointing his gun toward the man. "You have been suspected of mutation, come with us outside of the facility."

"Ah, a pair of guards. Have you come to test your luck?" The senior said, casually strolling up to the armed personal as if they had been lifelong friends.

"Back away sir, come peacefully and we will not have to use force."

Smiling, the man continued his path.

((Two posts because my mobile won't let me type.))

Smiling, the man continued his path, coming to a stop beside the nearest guard. Slowly but surely, the black combat-suited man began to glow. The light got to the point it was blinding to look at, and by the time everyone had turned away and back again, the guard had completly turned to stone, weapon and all.

"Ah, not to lucky then..."

Swearing, the other guard cocked his weapon and prepared to take down the mutant.

((Ok guys, here is the choice. You can side with the old man, and attempt to rush the lone guard for your freedom, or work with the people who have kept you imprisioned in this hole. The decision changes how the rest of the RP continues, so think carefully.

The walk hadn't calmed Jobbie down one bit. For starters, the room was tiny, and people were crammed into it like sardines in a tin can. It was so bad that he couldn't take more than a step without nearly bumping into somebody else or another of those damn bunk beds.

Some old coot started jibber-jabbering about 'powers', which brought the guards running, and then he went and turned one to stone. "What the hell..." Jobbie muttered under his breath as the situation rapidly changed for the worse. He had no idea how he did it, but the other guard sure as hell didn't like it one bit and he was ready to pump the old geezer full of lead for killing his buddy. It was a tense situation, and everybody in the room felt it. People were frightened, frustrated, confused and angry. Doesn't take a genius to know that this makes for one heck of a potentially volitile situation.

"What're you waitin' for?" Jobbie asked aloud, not really seeing any other options at the moment. If he helped the guard he might get turned to stone, but if he helped the old guy he'd probably get shot. Jobbie wasn't much of a thinker, but he at least knew enough to keep himself alive. "One o' youse gotta gun and the other turns people t'stone like some kinda witch. Ain't none of us here wanna get involved in anyathat, we jus' wanna go home."

((I side with nobody! Screw the crazy old man and screw the guy with the gun, they can solve their own problems ))

((Mind if I join? I hope it's not too late))

Name: Lemina 'Mina' Carrat
Description: Mina has shoulder length hair that she has died bright purple, not for any other reason than she felt like it. Mina doesn't like her first name very much so she introduces herself to everyone as simply Mina, she's quite tall for a woman at 5'7, and her bodyshape is slim but not muscular as she doesn't like heavy work, and she's quite pale with light green eyes. She was caught wearing her white top and favourite jeans (in other words, worn, frayed and losing it's once dark blue colouring), leather boots and denim jacket.
Power: Electromagnetism: Sounds cool huh? It's not what you think. As humans are beings that generate their own weak EM fields, touching Mina will cause the electrochemical reactions within another human being to temporarily go haywire, causing confusion, a feeling of being watched and/or the feeling of a cold spot close to Mina, though the cold spot can be felt just by standing next to her. She can also 'astral travel', where her EM 'body' and her consciousness can travel outside her physical body, though there's always a 'line' connecting her to her physical body. Though she is fully conscious her physical body enters a state of hibernation, and so far this has only has happened once when she was asleep. When in this state she can see EM fields, cannot touch anything and can walk through non-magnetised walls. She is invisible, silent and untouchable in EM state unless you happen to walk straight through her EM form, where you will become very cold, convinced something is 'watching' you or confused, or a combinatim. Unsurprisingly she's convinced that the first time this happened was only a dream.

Mina had been leaning against the wall, watching what was going on and generally keeping herself to herself. She didn't know anyone here, and certainly didn't want to discuss the bizarre dream she'd had the other night. In this tiny place, it was hard to stay away from people so she had to keep shuffling around. The 20 year old had never been comfortable around other people and she certainly did not like being locked up in this place. On the other hand, seeing people go crazy from being kept in such cramped conditions was kinda fun-if a little scary. Like the two teenagers for example, or the crazy old man with his promises of wish fulfilment and now currentlx in a confrontation with what was left of the guardS. She stayed put

Aranhil peeked out again. Some crazy old coot was waving his cane at some stupid statue and some guard who - wait a minute? Statue?
Aranhil jumped up in his bunk with surprise, and promptly rolled out without consciousness. He had hit his head on the concrete ceiling, and a cloud of dust broke his fall. His pillow and sheets fell out under him, and he was silent.

[Sorry for rushing - didn't have much time >_> ]

[Coolpikaaa]

((Yep It's OK Swix, and for future reference, anyone can join at anytime later. ))

Agoeb stared in awe at the sudden chaos. Everyone seemed to be being standing still, just waiting to see what happened next. Of course, there were exceptions to this rule, and the teen heard some hillbilly shouting off at the guard, a boy springing out of bed and having the senses beat out of him by the ceiling.

((Seriously guys.

Do something.))

Gunther cracks his knuckles and prepares to headbutt the gaurd and bolt out the door. Indeed,being shot at would be much better then being imprisioned, especially with a bunch of squares like the people in this hellhole. "Ef' this!" he shouts as he runs towards to tackle the lone gaurd.

(Someone had to do it)

[Coolpikaaa]

The guard, surprised from behind, toppled over and began rolling on the ground in a fight with Gunther. This move of sheer defiance usually would have cost Gunther his life, but in this case, the guards gun went off, sending a few rounds into the concrete wall.

This in itself, did nothing to the inmates, but the psychological aspect of the guards firing on them completely sent the crowded room into panic.

As a swarm of crazed people suddenly rushed for the door, backup for the injured guard had just finished swiping the key card that opened the housing facility. Almost comically, the small group of guards was pushed back by the escaping horde and pulled with them as the former captives ran down the halls.

As the dust settled, the room had become mostly empty except for a few scattered individuals (you guys) and Gunther, who was still in a fight with the guard. The old man, instigator of all this mess had long ago sat down on one of the bunks, watching his chaos unfold.

Mina had had quite enough of being jostled about by the time everyone had rushed out of the door, and spun about to boot. So rather than seeing and going for the now accessible gun dropped by the guard, the purple haired 20 year old gratefully set her eyes on the boy who had lost the fight with the concrete ceiling and now lay in a heap on the floor, covered in dust and bedclothes. Mina walked over to the kid and tentatively crouched down next to him.
"Uh, hey, kid" she said "you okay?" At least he wasn't about to rush out and run her over.

[3kul]

Jobbie barely had the time to yell at the idiotic brat who lunged towards the guard, let alone stop him, and the chaos that ensued made it impossible for him to do anything.

Now Jobbie is a big guy, and he's not the sort to be pushed around easily, so most folks simply ran around him, but he could see that some of the children and shorter people weren't being treated with quite so much... courtesy. It was nothing short of a miracle that nobody was stomped to death by the panicked crowd, even moreso that the stupid kid and the guard had managed to continue brawling through it all.

The scrappy little brat was putting up a good fight, but he was up against a trained soldier... It wouldn't be long before the tables were turned and the soldier regained the upper hand.

Jobbie's fighting experience didn't go much beyond wrestlin' gators that tried to get into the house (it happened more often than you'd think), but keeping a guard down on the ground couldn't be too hard for a guy his size. Jobbie looked carefully to make sure that the soldier would not easily be able to fire his gun at anybody, trying to decide whether or not to step in and put a stop to this. If it was safe to do so, he'd attempt to shove the kid to one side and plant one of his great boots on the soldier's neck (only to hold him down mind you, Jobbie is no killer).

[Coolpikaaa]

Simply enough, the guards training was no match for a teen. With both legs, he kicked the fairly unresponsive Gunther ((sorry DLM shuda posted )) into the wall.

Suddenly, Jobbie was on the guard, forcing his throat down with a massive boot. Scrambling out with his arm, the guard managed to clamp down on the gun no one had the foresight to pick up.

Instantly, the armed man took aim with his free hand...at the woman standing near one of bunks. Years of training told him that Jobbie was most likely not to respond well to the gun being pointed at him, but switching the danger to someone else...

"Leg..go..or she...gets..*Gak*..it"

((Thanks for the back-up guys ))

"No, don't!" Jobbie shouted, and proceeded to display his complete lack of intelligence in a rather blunderous move. Instead of doing exactly as the soldier ordered Jobbie tried to step across him to get at his gun, but in doing so he unwittingly shifted all of his weight to the foot that was currently on the soldier's neck...

((Jobbie is a big guy, close to 7 feet tall and weighing in at nearly 180 kg, so I can't really imagine that the soldier will be able to shoot the lady before he dies in this horribly painful manner, but I guess we'll just see how this all plays out.))

[Swix]

Getting no response from the unconscious kid, Mina proceeded tn put her hands on her hips, then glance over to what was happening behind her... only to freeze at the sight of a gun being pointed at her, and at Jobbies shout of "No, don't!" promptly fainted.

Or so it would seem. As far as she was concerned, she was still standing up. It was the rest of the room that had changed. Suddenly the walls and floor seemed more drab, whereas the other living things in the room-the other people, were now covered in what she could only describe as an aura of differing colours, though their physical bodies could still be seen quite clearly underneath.
So Minas attention was still rooted on the guard and Jobbie, and did not look around, or she might have noticed that her physical body was currently lying in a heap on the floor, barely breathing due to it's hibernative state.

((This is fun! ))

[drlupinmario]

((Sorry I am late, and as such some of theese actions need to be put inbetween some posts))

Gunther attempts to wind up a punch on the garud before he is suddenly kicked directly into the concrete wall. He gets up and wipes off the blood from his bleeding lip. Unbenounced to him, his fingers start lighting up as he swears at the gaurd and runs out to punch him.

Nort on the other hand trys to remain calm and unaware what is happening outside, rubbing the broken cuiruit board...

[Coolpikaaa]

Agoeb had been silently watching as the events unfolded in the Housing Facility. In front of his eyes, the bully and the hillbilly rushed the guard, managing to pin him down, but he fought back and managed to shoot down a woman who had gone to help.

As he watched her body crumple to the ground in slow motion, the imprisoned boy wondered if this had been the point all along. Trap a few people in a room and watch them kill each other.

Before he knew it, Agoeb was running clear across the room and trying to push the two attackers of the most recently fallen guard. Even if he was a lost cause.

"We gotta help him! We can't let more people die here!"
