HQ: The 'Ready Lounge'

[Lot]

Seeing the decorations fade, Carrion shrugs and cranes his neck towards CPU.

"Oh, well. Everything's back to normal, then. To tell you the truth, I like it better this way."

Carrion delicately opens the green fannypack strapped around his black, goat-like thigh. He pulls out and over-sized video gamepad and what looks like an adaptor for the plug. Going over to the entertainment center, he finds the correct console and plugs in his controller. In a few minutes, Carrion appears to be playing a car-racing game of some sort. He shouts over to CPU.

"You want to play? If you don't want to, no big deal. I'm trying to unlock new cars on the single-player mode anyway, so I'm good by myself too."

The monster looks more than a little silly clicking on his controller but he seems oblivious to it.

"If you want, I can unlock it all now, it is pretty easy, but it is a lot less fun... yeah why not." CPU stands up and sits next to Carrion. He doesn't touch his gamepad as Carrion set to play in multiplayer mode. "Let's start that race... and I perfer to play without remote. I promise you I won,t hack the system and cheat... anyway, where the intrerest to win when there is no challenge. It's been a long time since I played to a racing car game."

"Highbrow." Hugh simply stated to access the Ready Room. Upon walking in he regarded the occupants in the room. Upon seeing CPU he gave the hero a stone-faced nod.

 

[Salix]

Gremlin- A voice says from the hall. The door swooshes open and the pint sized hero walks in, obviously freshly showered from his workout. Surveying the room he sees Highbrow and says, "You're the smart guy who went up against Quake, Highbrow I beleive. My name's George, Codename's Gremlin." With that Gremlin sits in his favorite chair, and pulls out his IPOD. He fiddles with the device until selecting Miles Davis In A Silent Way. Closing his eyes, he seems to fall into a meditative state.

 

[Hawkeye]

"Griff!" calls out a voice in the hall. The door opens and in steps a large man, built like a football player. He stops and stares around the room in in rapt awe. After several long seconds, viewers begin to wonder if the new hero has entered into some kind of trance. His eyes have a far off look. Suddenly, he speaks "Awesome! Now this is a totally righteous pad! We can have some totally bitchin' (I hope Eric's grandman doesn't have a problem with that word) parties here!" He walks over to the assembled group. Though he moves smoothly like an athlete, there is just something..goofy about him that you can't quite put your finger on. "Hola dudes! I'm Griff! How's it hanging? We got any brewskis? When do the babes arrive?", he says in a rapid fire patter, not pausing for a breath.

(vocally think of Griff as Keanu Reeves as he played Ted Logan from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure)

OOC: Just to let everyone know, my wife is due to deliver our son any day now, so if I disappear suddenly for a few days, just know that I am probably in a devlivery room at the hospital holding my wife's hand while she screams obscenities at me.

 

[Rystil Arden]

~Attention all Resolutes! Report to Briefing Room Beta for details on your next assignment. That is all.~ a loud voice blares over the intercom, a man's voice with a slight Southern United States accent.

(OOC: Report to the Ionian Dreams thread if you want to play )

 

[Hawkeye]

"Bummer, guess there isn't any time for a brewski. So where can I find this room?

[Salix]

Gremlin snaps his eyes wide open and says, " Alright! Time to roll. We're in it now. Martin, Cedric! Let's move. Griff? Nicetameetcha. We're heading out on a call. Someone else can watch the monitors.", George exclaims and heads to the conference room in a flash, pausing long enough to pump Griff's hand in a firm handshake.

"Titan", a booming voice says. When the door whooshes open anyone around doesn't see anyone there, only to have a small figure grow to normal size before their eyes. "Good Luck out there", he says to anyone left.

 

[Hawkeye]

Griff follows the group to the confrence room.

Highbrow was about to reply to 'Gremlin' when the loudspeaker announced another mission.

"No time for pleasantries. As I had calculated we have another mission."
