[d20 Modern] The "In Character" Character game Part Two

[psychognome]

Apparently nobody in the hotel kitchen isn't paying much attention to Patrik. Instead they are talking about breakfast and mucking around. Figures, he thinks to himself. His mind suddenly starts to wake up, and Patrik starts thinking: there are people who shouldn't be there in the kitchen, making bacon and eggs, there's nobody else in sight, and these people are obviously paying him very little or no attention whatsoever. Slightly peeved Patrik opens his mouth one more time to shout out:

"EXCUSE ME!!!"

After exclaiming this he takes a deep breath and starts talking very fast.

"Who are you people? What are you doing in the hotel kitchen? Where are all the others? What's going on?"

 

[psychognome]

Double post, sorry.

 

[Sixchan]

Six looks over in his direction. "Oh. Hi." She smiles, and waves. "I'm Six, this is Hanh, Jane--uh--i]James[/i], rather, and that's James too, but we call him Festy. We're here because we wanted breakfast, and no-one else is here because everything is ****ed up, and ***ed up stuff is what is going on. This time yesterday, I was a guy. About twelve hours ago, James here was a girl. Confused?"

 

[KitanaVorr]

An hour or so later, everyone was pretty much stuffed and Patrik gets updated rather dizzily by Six on the events happening thus far. Oddly enough, Patrick really doesn't remember much of what actually happened yesterday. In fact, he really doesn't remember anything at all.

Before Patrik could say anything, Hanh reaches over and grabs his wrist right before she starts running out the door - stopping to take a hold of Jemal along the way.

"Come on, everybody! I think we're late to see the wizards! The wonderful wizards of Oz, because- because - because - because...because of the wonderful things he does!" she sings along cheerfully as she drags the hapless guys out into the snow.

Tromping along, she heads up to McGraw tower. "You slow pokes, hurry up!" she exclaims kicking the door open with one foot and commenced dragging them up the stairs.

Wille and Mario and Daniel turn around to see Hanh arriving with Jemal and someone new.

 

[Sixchan]

Six follows along, easily keeping up, but still thinking that she'd really like the ability to fly soon.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Before he leaves Festy makes one of his favourite breakfasts: ice cream and milo, or was milo and ice cream? There just happens to be a lot of milo, or whatever powdered substance they have at the hotel to make chocolate milk, piled on whatever ice cream is underneath. He eats this as he follows the others.

"Hehe, yes I would like ice-cream with my milo," he says and chuckles.

 

[psychognome]

After Six has explained everything to Patrik and Hanh has grabbed his hand he shrugs. What the hell, he thinks, I could as well hang out with these guys in case I might get some answers.

Patrik follows everybody on their way to "see the wizards," whatever they might mean by that. He starts happily humming the tune of Follow the Yellow-brick Road. On the way he remembers that nobody knows him.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Patrik... and you're... Six, Hanh, Jane... uh, James, and James, but they call you festy, right?" he blurts out. "Nice to meet you."

 

[Dalamar]

Wille turns to see the late-comers and speaks with a somewhat irritated voice.
"What took you so long, we've propably been waiting for ours! Sheesh..."

 

[KitanaVorr]

Hanh sighs, releasing Jemal and Patrik. "Well! I could never say no to food!" the young woman exclaims, throwing herself into the nearest most comfortable chair. "Hey, Gandalf...where's grumpy boy and sullen dude?"

The grey wizard grinned. "Raistlin and Sarumon went to do some scouting. But I'm glad to see that you're all gathered here. I have something very important to tell you." His face became very grave as he glanced over the assembled group: Mario, Wille, Daniel, Patrik, Jemal-James, Six, Festy-James and Hanh.

"There is a great power in the universe called 'the Key' and since the time of our world began, it has been kept safe within the confines of this tower by the five wizards. Myself, Raistlin, Sarumon, Vivi, and one you have yet to meet...but we shall come to him in a moment. We are the council of the five."

"Every generation of the world, usually about a few thousand years, a new council is formed. The last council of the five included five very powerful witches...but when a new council is called, the previous council members enter a state of torpor - to donate their power to the 'the Key'. For it is from this Key that we receive our power to affect this world in ways unexplainable."

He sighed heavily. "And now the Key has been stolen - tampered with by within our very own ranks. He is the most powerful of all of us and a devious being - a creature who's evil knows no bounds...but do not be fooled...he is evil..."

Gandalf waves his hand an image appears before them, floating in the air - a very life-like illusion even has his grows more deeper, more grave.

"...PURE EVIL."

 

[ThoughtBubble]

Daniel smiles slightly. "Well, I'm sold. I always knew he was evil." His grin widens. "I sure hope I get a chance to beat the stuffing out of him. You guys agree?" He flashes a quick thumbs up at the new guy.

"So, G, what's the plan? If he has the key, a frontal assault isn't going to be a good option, but we also don't have the luxury of time. And I'd guess you can't give us much in the way of aid, correct?"
