Captured!

[Isolde]

Your Wish Is My Command

As the last of Trina's words fall from her lips, the same phenomonon that had happened with the coffee happened again. Only this time the tray contained all of the foods that the woman had ordered, the gravy almost overflowing the tray.

Again, as soon as she takes the tray, the 'shelf' is reabsorbed into the wall and it is as if it was never there.

 

[Guest]

Trina

"Hell yeah." I smiled. "I haven't ate like this since my grandma died and I was sent to the orphanage." I picked up the fork and started eating.

Maybe it was the hunger, but the food tasted wonderful. The more wonderful I thought it tasted, the better it seemed. I felt eyes on me.

"Hey gimme a break. When ya live on the streets, a good meal like this is hard to come by. Any of you guys wanna try?"

 

[BLACK BART]

Kid

"Damn right" I said, "I want a meal I've never had, a "Thanksgiving Dinner and all the trimmings" {my hunger was overpowering, I hadn't eaten in 2 days and smelling Trina's meal made the decision for me, if I was to die at least it would be on a full stomach! I gulped, now if the "machine" only knew what was in the meal? I didn't, I never had eaten this meal.....

 

[Always]

Sarah

I grinned. "I want a kitty cat!!!" I said jokingly, just to see if the wall would spit it out. I'd lived on the streets yeah, but I was a damn good pickpocket. i lived off of other people's money, and i lived pretty well by vagrant standards.

I tapped the wall then, wondering. "Hey you know something just occured to me..." I said thoguhtfully. "If we're gonna save their world by being mutated is there like a risk factor? Cause i don't wanna die a virgin," i asked of the air.

 

[Isolde]

As Kid spoke, his dinner slid from the wall as had Trina's while Shila's request went unanswered except for the sound of the female voice saying,"Mutations in ten minutes. Prepare."

 

[BadForm]

Janice: Panic!!!

"What the fuck is wrong with you all?" yelled Janice, the message about mutations in 10 minutes driving her into a panic. "This is some kinda secret government shit going down and you're acting like its a frigging tea party or something? Look, that bitch," she indicated Zephora, "is obviously running the show - didn't you hear her say it was futile to resist? We gotta take her down, fast!"

Janice took her knife in her hand and prepared to leap at Zephora.

 

[Isolde]

As Janice lept toward the other woman, a beam of light surrounded her and seemed to capture and imobilize her. She stood frozen in the midst of her leap.

The voice again booms through the room. "Violence...not tolerated. Guests neutralized until needed."

With that announcement, a gas fills the room and you can each feel yourselves getting drowsy. Your eyelids are heavy and you cannot keep them open. Each of you falls forward, unconscious where you sit or stand.

______________________

You dont know how long it has been since the gas knocked you out but each of you hears the sound of the now-familiar voice. "AWAKE" is the simple command.

You open your eyes to see that you are in a plain room with no furniture or any type of adornment. You try to move but you find yourself unable to. You realize that your arms and legs are strapped to the walls by manicles that seem to be a part of the walls. You are successfully secured and immobile.

 

[Neale]

OOC: gotta mutate you tomorrow night (sunday)

Sorry...

 

[Neale]

Let the mutations begin:

Each of you awakens to find yourself strapped down, immobile. A male figure comes into view, very similar to the female you'd already seen.

"Subjects ready are. Mutations now to begin."

A mist envelops each of you, and indescribable pain seeps in through your every pore.

You can each feel your bodies changing, moving, shifting...

Mercifully, you each black out from the pain...

Some time later, you awaken in a large room. The male figure is still there, as are several featureless humanoid statues behind him.

"Please to have your attention. Your abilities and adaptations to evaluate we intend. Cross the room you must. Opposite wall must you to reach."

OOC:[individual mutation descriptions to follow:]

What the hell? First we're knocked out and then now we have to cross the room?

Getting up painfully I look around. The rest of my peers seems to be still recovering from before. I sigh, and begin to walk across the room. Might as well get it over with.

Mutation for Kelly (Kid) Andrew

The youth sat up, and immediately regretted it. His heart started racing wildly, and he felt full of fear, anger, excitement... A mad mix of emotions that he somehow knew weren't his own...

Standing up, he stumbled, and brushed up against one of the other captives. Hey! Clumsy twurp! At first, he thought she'd spoken to him, but he'd been staring directly at her face, and her lips never moved. She held his arm to steady him, and to his amazement, the touch enabled him to read her thoughts!

 

[Neale]

Mutation for Trina

When you awaken, you look around to see the others returning to consciousness all 'round. Your skin and flesh seem very strange to you, almost fluid, in a way. Looking down at your arms, you watch in stunned amazement as they change skin color, length, size... your arms are wandering through the entire range of human variety. Then it hits you... your arms aren't the only things changing! You look down, to madness. Your entire body is wildly shifting itself. You can even feel your sex changing back and forth, an interesting sensation of itself.

Slowly, you gain control of your body's shifting.

 

[Neale]

Mutation for Janice Miller

When you awaken, you are surrounded by a cloaking fog bank. This scares you, but a wind swiftly arises, dissipating it. The currents of air in the room are completely plain to you, via a sense you couldn't explain to someone else if you tried, like trying to describe color to the congenitally blind.

Even the amount of moisture in the air, and its very temperature are plain to you. You sense you could even shift those parameters, if you could only understand...

 

[Neale]

Mutation of LMMs mystery man

Your consciousness returns slowly, and you immediately sense you've changed immensely. Your movements are slower than you are accustomed to as you stand. You glance down at yourself, and see that your skin has turned a dusty grey, and you are now as muscular as any Muscle Beach hero.

 

[Neale]

Mutation for Zephora

When you awaken, you feel full of energy, your nerves a-tingle with it. Your skin is flushed with heat, but you feel cool, almost chilly in the room. Some sense you cannot describe is telling you how much energy is in the various objects in the room, and whispering to you how much more it would take for some of those objects to burst into flame... Mmm... flame... the very thought of a nice, warm fire almost makes you shiver with anticipation.

 

[Neale]

Mutation for Michael Li

You awaken with a start, bouncing up from the dais upon which you'd lain. Looking around, you see the forms of the other captives, just beginning to stir. Standing seems uncomfortable to you now, so you contemplate pacing a bit. Much to your surprise, your casual pace carries you across the room in an eye-blink. One of the others says something, but she sounds almost drugged, talking very slowly. In fact, they all seem to be moving like zombies...

 

[Guest]

Trina

I looked down at my body, completely horrified at what I saw. My body's color kept changing, I even changed back and forth from male to female.

I screamed. This had to be a fucking nightmare.

I looked around and saw my same expression on many of the others faces. "What the fuck is happening to us?" I screamed.

I tried to control my breathing, it was completely out of control. Slowly I started concentrating.... maybe I could be like those people on tv...the ones who had powers and they had to concentrate to control it.

"Damn I am thinking like a cartoon character...." I muttered to myself.

But slowly it started to work......

 

[Ask For More]

Michael Li

What the hell? Why is everything moving so slowly? I stop to look around and everyone is moving around in slow motion, like a bad horror movie. Or is it myself? I turn and run to the other side of the room and feel the wind on my face. I've never run that fast before.....

 

[BLACK BART]

Kelly "kid" Andrew

I stumble as I stand, my body feeling as if it were ripped apart and thrown back together loosely. Everything is spinning, I'm dizzy and feel a hand touch me and suddenly there is a shout."CLUMSY!" But she didn't speak, her lips didn't move! I can feel things, fear, confusion, anger all rushing at me, not my feelings I realise, for my hate is strong, but from? I drop to my knees, not dizzy, but confused trying to work things out....
I know whats happening has been forced on me by the "aliens", How? I'm not sure, had I heard, sensed it?
"Get yourself together" I told myself and saw Trina's head snapped up and look at me puzzled.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO ME?


OOC: Sorry for the late post, will be faster next time

 

[Neale]

Crossing the room...

Those of the Captured victims who have not slipped back into unconsciousness see a door open up in the far wall. Unfortunately, you also see holes open in the ceiling, and creatures drop down from them. These creatures settle the question of whether or not you've been kidnapped by aliens, for Mother Earth never spawned anything like these things: bright blue, hairless skins, slavering wide jaws with large, blunt teeth, six limbs with claws on each one, some creatures walking on two of the limbs, some on four. They have frog-like eyes, set widely apart on their round heads. One thing the creatures have that is familiar is their attitudes of anger and hunger, evident by the way they all charge the newly mutated humans...

 

[BadForm]

Janice Miller: Flight not Fight

What the fuck was this? Janice had lain there watching what was happening to the others in the room - some of whom were acting strangely, some of whom were now bodily deformed in ways she'd never come across. Then all of a sudden the ceiling popped open and a ton of bad acid dropped down from it looking mean and ready to rock. She lept backwards in terror...

...At least, that's what she thought she was doing. It took her almost 30 seconds to realise she hand't landed and was flying around out of reach now. Flying? This had to be a bad trip. Or... or.. well, mebbe the government had pulled some kinda bio warfare shit. She didn't know anything other than she was facing something from her darkest nightmares. Something almost as bad as the dreams about dear daddy. And with that thought, the fear gained a new quality: anger.

She was pissed at running. First from that abusive cunt of a father, now from some government experiment. She swooped in the tumult of emotion to grab her knife and then turned on the nearest monster. She saw her father's image mesh with the monster's and prepared to charge. If she was going to go down, she would do it fighting.

Except that as she glared at the beast lightning arced out of the ceiling, pulling tiles with it, and jabbed straight at the beast's skull.

 

[BLACK BART]

Kid

"Spawn from Hell!" what ever these things were they had no good intentions, I could feel their hate and ...hunger!
Well this I could deal with, anger I had years of, plenty to spare, and I never got a chance to eat my "T dinner", having eaten worse on the streets, maybe I'd make a meal out of them!
I felt the beast leaping at me before it even left the ground and dropped to the "floor?" {whatever you call that shimmering thing} and watched as it sailed over me and slammed into my vacant "bed" I had woke up on.
Anger overcame me and I shouted at it, "Get the hell away from me" only no words left my mouth, and the thing suddenly leapt backwards in a clumsy movement that slammed itself into another "table" ten feet away.
It slowly dawned on me that I could not only "sense" these things, but could somehow channel my anger into moving them!
Well, anger I have and turned to find a new target for it.

 

[Neale]

OOC:Question

OOC: Is there anyone besides Blackbart and Badform still into this thread? If so, please let me know, via email or posting, and I'll pick up the pace by the end of this week. My last exam is tomorrow, and there is no summer school for me!

 

[Ask For More]

Michael Li

What the fuck were these things? Aliens from hell or something like that.....these things looked absolutely nasty. I've never seen anything like this in sci-fi movies before.

The monsters surround us and start to attack. I immediately adopt a fighting stance, but then I realise that I have no need to as the monsters seem to move in slow motion as they attack me. One swipes at my head, but I sidestep and bring my fist down on its head at lightning speed. It crumples to the floor and disappears. What the hell?

OOC: apologies for not posting earlier! I hadn't realised this was back on again

 

[BadForm]

Janice Miller: Focused Anger

Well, at least two of the others were fighting back. That meant she had allies - at least for now. And when a rumble was going down, you needed someone to watch your back. One of the guys seemed to be moving like piss from a wino - too fast and too much to see. He could probably take care of his own ass for now. The other was slower, but seemed to be tossing these funky freaks around simply by looking at them. Except that he hadn't seen the sucker creeping up on his ass.

Janice thrust her hand out like before and yelled. "Leave him alone!"

Nothing happened. Fear spread through her mind and once again she was airborn. Shit, she should known this would happen. The government was always fucking up. She shoulda known if they tried to give her some kinda freaky powers they wouldn't stick. Well fuck them, she'd take it by hand...

Except that as her rage grew, as she hated the government and wanted this beast dead, an even more powerful jolt of lightning smashed into the beast. It was powerful enough to send the kid reeling, momentarily.

"Oh, crap!" she yelled, darting forwards to make sure he was ok. She really had to learn to control this shit.
