Aki Dazrold Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 [*raeg*] You walk into the room. You see Marvin in there, setting his table. You resist the urge to chuckle. "Hey, I'm back." You say. Marvin turns around, about to say something. He then notices Mariam and Phil, and freezes. His pupil-less eyes widen. Phil looks down at his outfit. "Oh." He says.

Aki Dazrold Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 "WAITWAITWAITTHEYAREN'TSOLDIERSTHEYAREN'THERETOKILLUS" You quickly shout, thinking Marvin is about to break some face in. Phil raises a finger and opens his mouth, as if to correct something. Marvin does a dramatic point. "HE IS! I' SAW WHAT YOU DID TO THAT DEAD BODY YOU SICK b******!" "...Well, this is embarrassing." he says. "Not to mention awkward." "And you!" he points to Mariam. "You both wear the garb of the men who seek to enslave or destroy us, and you expect me to let you in here with open arms?!" You frantically look between the two sides. This can't end well. Mariam then sheds her jacket. There is an awkward pause as all eyes turn to her. "Settle down." She says calmly. "I took these clothes from a supply closet and Phil here is on our side, not theirs. We have no intent on killing you." "How do I know I can trust you?!" Marvin demands. Mariam withdraws a knife from her back pocket and quickly stabs herself in the neck without flinching. She holds it there for two seconds, then withdraws it and throws it to you. You catch it. She turns her head so Marvin can see the wound heal. Marvin calms down. "Forgive me for being so jumpy." "Understandable." She replies, putting the jacket back on. You lick the bloodied knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aki Dazrold Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 You do a double backflip. Somehow, nobody sees. You then resist making a dirty joke, cause it's no fun pointing out a risque pun when you are the one who said it. Marvin finishes setting the table. In an attempt to break the awkward silence, Phil asks, "So, what was your name again?" "Marvin." "Phil." He extends his hand. Marvin doesn't shake it. He walks into the walk-in freezer. Mariam looks at Phil quizzically. "So, uh... what was that part about the dead body?" she asks. "Don't ask." He responds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aki Dazrold Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 You fail to be startled by this revelation. Hey, he's got his quirks, you've got yours. You aren't to judge. Mariam, however, has a look of realization followed by an obvious shudder. You inquire as to why. She makes it clear it's not something she wants to talk about. Marvin comes back holding some stuff. "Please, take a seat." He says, trying to sound calm. You uneasily glance back at the other two, and sit on the mat. Mariam follows suit and sits to your left. Phil sits down to your right. Marvin walks over to the door, closes it, and brings an iron bar down over it. He then walks over to the sink-type thing and pulls on something and reveals a stove and range of sorts. He starts to cook something. The three of you sit there in awkward silence for a while. Eventually you turn to Phil and say "You know, for the record, I don't care that you're a necrophiliac." He quickly responds with "THERE it is!" LZ laughs as he imagines that particular scene in comic form. A few minutes go by, and the slince isn't broken very much save for the stray comment. The whole thing is terribly awkward. Marvin comes to the table with a large pot of stir-fry in hand. Mariam and Phil simultaneously experience a loud stomach growl. He sets it in the middle of the table, and then passes chopsticks to everyone. Mariam wastes no time in grabbing a small portion with her chopsticks and popping it into her mouth. Marvin raises an eyebrow at her. "Uh...?" he says. Mariam freezes. "Oh, Im sorry" she says with a full mouth, realizing how unmannerly that was. "No, no, I understand your hunger; it's just that when you dine with strangers, the host is expected to take the first bite." he explains. "Why is that?" she asks, her still-full mouth failing to mask her embarrassment. "Because it is a sign of trust. If he willingly eats his own cooking, it means he did not poison it." She considers this for a moment, then goes "Oh.", then shrugs, then swallows, then begins to actually fill her plate. You chuckle to yourself. Marvin is visibly taken aback by this behaviour, but he still takes a bite from the wok to prove his point. He and Phil begin to fill thier plates.

Aki Dazrold Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 "Oh yeah, she's immortal." You explain. Marvin nearly inhales some of his food. He makes a loud cough and stares intently at her. Everyone shivers1. "Immortal?! But I thought the experiments never completely succeeded?" he questions. "They didn't" she says between bites. "from what I understand, I was mentally deranged up until a big guy stepped on my head." She taps her noggin with her left index finger as she says this. "Interesting..." He says. 1 Remember what his eyes look like, and picture how this would have looked in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aki Dazrold Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 "Said big guy and our other friend Roy are also like her." You continue for her, "Although Robert has these huge spikes growing out of him all over." Marvin laughs softly. Partly at the situation, partly at how fast Phil and Mariam are eating.

Aki Dazrold Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 "Would you happen to know about this giant silvery thing that drains blood out of people?" you ask. "Uh, I don't think so. Could you elaborate?" Marvin responds. "Well," you start, trying to explain it as best you can, "It was this hulking creature that appeared to be made of a very malleable silver material, it drained blood from people it touched, and it had a human body lodged in it's chest..." Phil suddenly raises his finger in an interrupting manner, and quickly chews his food. "It sounds revolting..." Marvin says before Phil swallows and begins to speak. "I could probably tell you a bit more about that than our host can." he says quickly. "That thing was yet another experiment done as a side project to the immortality deal. When the researchers found out that their main project was working differently on each subject, they decided to assign a small branch to something a bit different so they had other things to report on. The branch in question was to make a kind of impenetrable armor that would adhere to the user and grant him amplified abilities in addition to being invulnerable to any attacks that struck the armor. The only weakness was an attack directly to the wearer, and the armor would grant him such high reflexes that the regenerative capabilities were almost unnecessary." "Regenerative capabilities?" You pry. "Oh, yes. The armor would immediatley patch any wounds with a blackish substance that would staunch bleeding until the affected area healed over. Even then, The armor could absorb blood either through said black stuff or the armor itself to speed the healing process to unbelieveable highs. The obvious exception to this would be major nerve damage, such as the spine or brain being ruptured in some way." "And let me guess, it failed somehow." You conclude. "Oh, no, it was a brilliant sucess!" Phil says, pushing his plate aside and failing to hide his excitement. "They actually produced a few working suits and tested them extensively. The people here might have received military royalties of epic porportions had they gone public with it." "Then what went wrong?" Marivn asks, obviously intrigued now. At this, Phil's expression turns sour. "WELL. Aside from the slight possibility of someone dying in it, they were WAY too expensive to produce. ESPECIALLY with the whole 'secret projects' crap. One [Please Talk Properly] decided it would be wise to try and equip the suit onto one of the visceral slagheaps a lot of the immortality subjects had turned into. His logic was that the overregenerative capabilites of the failed experiment might cause the armor to duplicate the material of the armor similarly to how it did on the subject. In that, it worked... for about fifteen minutes. Then the armor literally attacked some of the attendants and fused to them, eventually becoming what we fought back in that room. They would eventually deactivate due to starvation, but the primal survival instincts of the subject it was tested on was permanently imprinted into the armor's coding. The term the higher-ups used for them was "Feral Juggernauts", and the lower folks didn't know of them at all." Phil takes a breath before continuing, "After they discovered how to kill one, they quickly found out that the leftover material was corrupted and couldn't be salvaged. They then immediately stopped starving the remaining feral suits and kept them on a very tight ration of blood. They could survive on surprisingly little, even after their original hosts rotted away. They decided they would feed the suit a prisoner, treasonist, or the like and keep it in a controlled area should they ever need to use it." He finishes. "Wait, how many of these things are there?" Marvin says, alarmed. "There were eight of them originally." Phil answers. "They killed one off at the beginning, and we killed one recently. It's likely some, if not all, of the others have starved by now, but I think it would be safer to assume there are six still out there." "Nice Horror Story." Mariam says sarcastically.
