DRAMABALLS: THE LOG

Who: YOU AND YOU
What: Eggman and Seth's evil plans have been revealed, and this is the catch-all fight log.
Where: around campus/in FDC/AROUND
When: Monday, August 26th
Warnings: heartache and tragedy within
Reference links: plotting post, network post

Perhaps you watched it happen before your very eyes, perhaps word makes it to you via phone, or a friend pulls you over to watch the feed play back. One way or another, you realize a huge drama bomb has been dropped into your laps, Smash Academy:

Eggman's robots are mobilizing.

Seth is some huge, psychotic asshole drug lord hellbent on subverting everyone with clones.

And they're fighting it out on top of a building in FDC and it's being televised.

(What the hell.)

...Or perhaps you are unfortunate enough to not realize any of that until it's too late, and you have been captured and robotsized by Eggman. Perhaps it's less noticeable and you feel like you bumped your head against something and blacked out just for a second. Weird, but you feel totally fine and nothing seems wrong.

Not yet.

"Maybe!" the rotund boy answered. "But I'll need to take a look a the machine that's doing it, first, to figure that out."

As much as Sheik was loath to admit it, Apple Kid was just the sort of mad scientist to have something ridiculous that was somehow perfectly suited for the task. She'd seen his inventions at work.

This was it. This was Apple Kid's moment.

However, she knew their window of opportunity was small, depending on how long it took Eggman to beat Seth, or vice versa. She wasn't sure about this motley crew, but they would have to suffice.

"We shouldn't waste any more time."

Elevator in a... wha...?

Not the important part. He could question that later. He knew Knuckles, at least, was a capable fighter -- he'd held his own against Zero, apparently, right? The others were a mystery, but the rosy-cheeked one seemed to be some kind of engineer, if he could handle reversing the effects of the machine responsible for all the robots running around. At the very least, he'd been built exactly for this kind of thing: protecting humankind from sketchy dangerous robots.

"If we're all here, then I think we're all prepared to hold off whatever might come our way while you work. The bandaged one's right; we should strike while we can."

"Of course," said Apple Kid.

He tumbled through the window and onto the roof. He took his tin can with the lightswitch on the front, and flipped the switch, then set the can down. He stepped back about five feet from it.

The can... started to melt. It spread itself out thinly across the roof and then in the glistering sunlight, formed a perfect square, five feet by five feet. Rising up from the sides, a delicate latticework of wires rose, intertwining and forming a loose fence, until reaching approximately eight feet in height, and then stopped. It looked too airy and ethereal to bear the weight of the mouse, let alone Apple Kid and Friends (TM).

The floor was at least solid. Though fabulously thin. The little light switch had migrated up to one of the walls. The entire process took approximately twenty seconds to complete.

A bell chimed, and the latticework wall in front of Apple Kid split into two. Some... music... started playing softly.

"Please, everyone get in," instructed Apple Kid. He and his mouse entered the fairy-floss structure first. Somehow, it did not buckle beneath him, although by all accounts it should have.

"How the hell...?"

Gordon had a lot to say about square-foot-to-story-ratio that he'd planned to say when he actually got to the top of the tower. But his discourse was halted--ran into the ground, really--when he saw Apple Kid's portable elevator actually become elevator-ish. He gaped, and after a moment decided to just shut the hell up and get in the elevator anyway.

Don't even look at Connor. He doesn't get any of this crap...at all.

In fact, he only trusted it until he saw everyone else get it.

He will be the next on board after Gordon.

Apple Kid may have been crazy, but Sheik knew enough to know his inventions worked. Ninja on board without so much as a word.

Copy X would have questioned it, but let's be real, he came from a world where teleporting was normal and data fairies had the power to alter the fabric of reality. A canned elevator wasn't all that implausible by comparison.

One more member of the entourage on board.

"Apple Kid, you're amazing." Knuckles said, clapping his friend on the shoulder, his glove coming away just a little less white than it had been beforehand.

He stepped onto the metal platform after X.

"And there's definitely a way to reverse the machine's effects - He said so after the last time he tried to robotisize a student. Only... heh. I kinda smashed the machine that time. Won't do that again."

Man, that music was soothing. It was like being in an elegant department store.

When Knuckles entered the elevator, the wire doors swung gracefully shut and Apple Kid said, "Egg Carrier Level, please."

The elevator began to ascend gracefully through the air, rising far above the school. From up here, the devastation of fighting robots could seen more clearly. The device rose to the Egg Carrier and deposited them on an outside landing pad with a ding. Apple Kid reached over and flipped the lightswitch to the 'off' position.

The wires melted down and the floor re-condensed into a tin can. The elegant music stopped playing. Everyone felt its loss deeply in their hearts.

"..."

Gordon shuffled in place as the elevator rose. Coughed.

"..."

Man, that music was annoying.

"..."

DING. The woosh of high-altitude air met him as he stepped out with the others.

"Alright, Knuckles. You were up here before, so you should have an idea where the machine is. I doubt he'd moved it since last time because a machine like that probably has a hell of a power draw, and needs to be located somewhere where it can get it. Let me guess... the power core in the deepest part of the ship, right?"

By Golly Gee...it actually worked. Connor can care on why and how later...And that music...

Connor stepped out to immediately feel out of his element.

But he was shocked to see that they weren't attacked right away.

"...The guards. I see none."

[personal profile] princessninja 2013-08-29 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Sheik remained characteristically silent for most of the ride, only speaking again once they'd arrived on the Egg Carrier, moving to the front and addressing the group as a whole.

"If what Knuckles says is true, then our goal is not to destroy the machine. We need to keep it intact so that we're able to restore the students and faculty once this is over."

Knuckles and Apple Kid were more than familiar to her. It was the others--the ones she didn't know as well--that she was worried about.

"Our aim is to find the machine and hold it hostage."

"I doubt he's going to let it go without a fight. He might even try to destroy it, if he's desperate enough." The lack of guards as a little disconcerting to Copy X as well; it was possible that Eggman simply hadn't expected such a brazen invasion and concentrated his forces on attacking rather than fortifying his defenses, but it didn't seem likely that they'd be able to go about their business freely for long.

"I'm presuming that all of us are capable enough of defending ourselves. If not, try to stick to the middle of the group. The one with the glasses has the right idea; Knuckles, if you're familiar with this ship, can you lead the way?"

[personal profile] monotreme_101 2013-08-30 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
"it IS weird that there's no guards here yet..." Knuckles said, thinking aloud. "Even with his ground assault, he should have at least a few of his Badniks up here to deal with anyone takin' advantage of him leaving."

He started walking over the deck of the flying ship - he knew where they were headed.

"If he's left anythin' here, expect it to be really mean. Otherwise, the Machine is gonna be in the lower levels through a maze of corridors. Before that, though, we need to get to a pair of big doors down the other end of the ship and there's probably gonna be at the very least some automatic turrets shootin' big rounds our way. We're gonna need to be quick."

[personal profile] mohawk_tomahawk 2013-08-30 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Knuckles sounded like he knew what he was doing and it was clear what their goal was. He didn't need to reiterate.

"We have to be prepared for the worst."

Connor wasn't sure if going in head first was a good idea either. He didn't want to do head on assaults if he could avoid it. He decided to then address a question finally to someone he knew the name of now.

Knuckles?

"Knuckles...Is there another way around? Whatever forces that are kept here I fear can alert masses if we were to be caught."
princessninja: (Sheik- This is a really tasty spoon.)

[personal profile] princessninja 2013-08-30 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll go on ahead, then. I'm certain I can clear any sentry units or surveillance cameras that might alert the guard proper to our presence."

There were certain advantages, after all, to being a mysterious ninja boy.

"Turrets. It figures."

He produces a bizarre laser rifle from the hatch behind his back and follows Knuckles, with a sidelong glance to Apple Kid. As far as he knows, the rotund engineer is the only one among them that couldn't hold their own in a fight, so it would be a good idea to keep an eye on him.

Apple Kid finds your lack of faith disturbing, Prancibald McGoateeface.

The charming young man pulls out some sort of water gun with various contraptions sticking out from it from his pantaloons. He also pulls out the tiniest little gun and hands it to his mouse. He is ready for this confrontation.

"I am ready for this moment," said the rosy-cheeked lad.
trustycrowbar: (*facepalm forever*)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2013-09-01 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
He just armed his mouse. HE JUST ARMED HIS MOUSE. Does anyone but him think this is WEIRD? NO? FINE. WHATEVER. He'll just be silently weirded out over here in the front of the group.

"Let's go."

monotreme_101: (I'm about to be markedly less happy)

[personal profile] monotreme_101 2013-09-01 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sorry, guy.," Knuckles replied to Connor. "Only way through into the interior that I know of as reliable are those doors. There's probably maintenance hatches someplace but I got no clue where and I dunno where they'd go."

Of course Apple Kid armed the Mouse. What? You want the mouse to be defenseless? What exactly did the Mouse ever do to you to make you want to see it left unarmed and defenseless, Gordon? Shame on you.

"The rounds fired out of the turrets are kinda slow movin' - folks with firepower oughta be able to spot the muzzle flashes of the canons and can maybe knock the rounds off course." he said as he moved. He didn't run because he didn't want to leave anyone behind, but his pace was pretty brisk. "Keep an eye out for aerial assaults - I know last time I was here there were Badniks who would fly over and fire down at intruders. Everyone just stay alert."

[personal profile] mohawk_tomahawk 2013-09-02 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I can fire at those," Connor stated as he got out his pistol. Which...was slow with reloading. Fucking flint locks. But he had loads of arrows. Connor had researched sweet spots on most of the bots Eggman had on the ground. Hopefully he can figure here. If not, he had his trusty old tomahawk. If they were going head first right into enemy fray, he was going to be swift and quick. Ignoring his wound on his side for now.

[personal profile] princessninja 2013-09-03 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Sheik nodded in agreement, taking all the information and filing it away. Destroying security cameras would certainly let robot management know that something was up, but it also gave them the advantage of robot management not knowing where they were at any given time. It could potentially buy them precious time.

As soon as it became clear that the group was moving out, Sheik took off down the hallway, disappearing in a puff of smoke. She'd hop from camera to camera, disabling them and giving her teammates the go-ahead to advance.

Ah, the advantages of teleportation.

Apple Kid, meanwhile, was fiddling around with a little box that he'd pulled out of his overalls (dang, boy, you've got some pretty big pockets). It had some push-buttons and what looked to be quite a lot of glitter sprinkled liberally all over it.

He pushed the push-buttons with his Apple Kid fingers. A little door opened and a bottle of fruit juice emerged halfway from the box. After he'd pulled it out, it was clear that the bottle was longer than the box. "Would anyone else like some juice?" he asked. "It's important to stay hydrated."
princessninja: (Sheik- Just throw the cake up here pleas)

[personal profile] princessninja 2013-09-12 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
The cameras proved to be the easy part--what was harder were the small-ish robots patrolling the hallways that didn't seem to like a mysterious ninja boy magically appearing in puffs of smoke and disabling the security cameras.

Sheik would just have to dispatch them, too.

Oh well.

After clearing a modest chunk of hallway ahead of the group, Sheik returned just in time to find Apple Kid offering everyone fruit juice.

"You brought...juice."
