Curtains#2 - It Came From Below!

Jorgi Vadislav

Jorgi takes a moment to watch his newest creation at work but like everything else it bores him fast and he gets his attention back to the room.

"Youknow,theproblemisIamsoincrediblygoodthatalmostnooneissmartenough
toreallyappreciateit."

He tries to spot there Granite and the livign spiderswarm went and goes to the window himself.

"Theywentouttochekwhat?Didn'thearathing?Youthinkthere'ssomethingdangerous?"

After succesfully fuelling his own fears he starts pacing around the room nervously, letting his thoughts wander to chek the computer every few seconds.

Professor Fate: Unhurt, Hero Pts 4

Fate looked around at the room as he put the picture in a pouch at his belt. Something was happening . . . something not good.

"Jorgi? Can you copy the contents of that hard drive to another location that you can access later? There's trouble . . . and this seems too important to leave behind," Fate asked Jorgi.

Professor Fate moved to the window and looked down, looking for Lawrence. "Lawrence!! What's going on out there?"

Professor Fate moved to the window and looked down, looking for Lawrence. "Lawrence!! What's going on out there?"

"Heyareyoutalkingtothebestorwhat?SureIcan."

His moment of pride gets Jorgi over the nervousness long enough to start the process of copying the files of. He dumps them to at least three different locations just to be sure.

"Allintheworkdsboss.Butwhatheheckdoyouthinkisgoingon?
Therearen'tmoresewerzombiesarethere?"

Even though it does look surprising he manages to look even more nervous while pacing.

What the... is the only thing Granite gets out before crashing into the door.

Relax lady, I one of the good guys, he tells the scared women, shaking his head slightly as if clearing it of cobwebs from the collision with the door.

I'm called Granite, what's your name? He asks her, trying to calm her down. And unfortunately no, I not the one making all the noise. He says as he tries to figure out where the noise is coming from.

The spiders go back on there way and enters back into the room. Lawrence revert into his natural form and shut the windows, and start to look around for open windows and will shut them up.

"Good and bad news. The good, I found the fongus. The bad, it have found that building, and in a few minutes, it will cover it!"

"Whatareyoutalkingabout?"

Jorgi runs to the window after Lawrence closes it, looking around in panick.

"Comeonyou'rejokingright?!"

 

[Velmont]

"Yeah, I like to joke on such matter. I forgot to told you that Paul is now known as fungusman and looks like some swamp monster... No! I'm not joking... except about Paul... Anyway, need a bright idea fast or we have to leave, and evacuate that building. Andrew, stay close to me, and nothing should happen to you."

Jorgi initiates the simple task of uploading files from the computer to different sites via the internet. Limited by bandwidth, he gives the recovered and encrypted files first priority.

Jorgi then joins Professor Fate, Dr. Linderman, and Andrew who are trying to look out the window. The sharp angle prohibits any good view of the fungal growth until the moment before it sweeps across the windows. It is a thick mat of intertwining stalks of greenish gray pulp and it writhes as if alive. Within moments, the view out the window is completely blocked. At a guess, the mass of fungi must be several feet thick. The brick exterior of the building groans and cracks a bit under the tremendous additional weight.

"This isn't possible," Dr. Linderman says as he backs away from the window. He appears to be in something close to a state of shock. "Nothing can grow at that kind of rate."

Meanwhile, down on the 3rd floor...

The woman seems to relax just a bit. "Oh, I recognize you now," she says. "I saw your picture in the paper this morning. You were one of the guys who did that thing last night...with the bad metahumans. Anyway, my name's Mai. And just what exactly are you doing here?"

She turns at the addition of a new sound...cracking and popping.

"And what is making all that racket?"

With a jump backwards Jorgi gets some distance between himself and the window.

"Thatdoesit,we'reoutofhere!"

He turns in a full circle before looking wide eyed at his companions.

"Aehm, guys are do you think there is a way out?"

"Yeah, I like to joke on such matter. I forgot to told you that Paul is now known as fungusman and looks like some swamp monster... No! I'm not joking... except about Paul...

"Fungusman?Great,I'mgoingtobekilledbyamutatedplantwithanameso cheesynotevenDCwoulduseitinacomicbook."

He opens to door to see if there are any windows still free of the fungus.
During his chek he blinks and takes a moment to shout back.

"Ok,forgetaboutthat,theywoulduseit.ButIstilldon'twanttobeeatenbyaplant"

Again there are a few seconds of silence as he follows those thoughts.

"Especiallynotbyalowlydevelopedonelikefungus."
