The Water Treatment Facility

Koln grins evilly as he wades back to Clover and Ruby. "You know... this is the perfect opportunity for... SURPRISE BAPTISM!" *SPLASHSPLASHSPLASH!!* And so the crazy priest starts a splash-fight as they wade towards... God only knows.

Socrates jumps onto Ruby's shoulder as the girls wade/swim to Koln. After going through a tunnel and a "surprise baptism" from Koln you find yourselves in another room filled with water. Small vents line the top of the walls of this room. There is a platform on the right wall with stairs that lead up to an elevator. The elevator itself looks old and unused, the buttons on the wall next to it that control it aren't lit.

You think you hear a small gasp and feel like there were little beady eyes looking at you from the vent.

Seriously? Nothing?! Koln just splashed you both with SEWER water, and no reaction?! Fine! I'll unpause the game.


Koln stops for a moment and produces his gun, eyeing the vents cautiously. "Step carefully girls... we are in THEIR territory... WE AER SURROUNDED! NO NO! NO NO! NO! It's the water! Quickly Ruby and Clover, get to safety, I will valiantly hold it off!" With that Koln starts his EPIC BATTLE with the water around him, wildly flailing, punching and kicking the water, until he slips and falls, rising back up and gagging. "Gah! Oh very clever! Trying to get into my brain through my eyes!! Ow.. seriously, it's in my eyes, I'm not playing with you no more!" Koln grumbles, wiping his eyes as he steps over to the platform and rests his hands on the buttons. Spirits Touch

Really, Mike, how can we compete with your awesome posts?!?!

Pointedly wiping sewer water out of her eyes from Koln's "surprise" baptism, Clover watched said baptizer walk over to a vent and begin to splash wildly, flailing his gun like a child wielding a super-soaker. She placed her hands on her hips, lips turned town in a frown. Shaking her head, she looked over at Ruby while motioning, "What contest in hell did we win to get stuck with this moron? Oh, wait," she laughed, cynical, "you and said "moron" seem to have a thing. Forgive my rudeness. But could you please ask your boyfriend over there if he could kindly do something useful before we end up stuck down here entire night?" She raised a deliberate eyebrow, as though expecting Ruby to actually take her side in things.

No, I don't expect Ruby to take this remark well. It's the first thing that came to my mind and I think I'm going to stick with it!

You see the guy in the dirty overalls from before pressing on the button to the elevator. The elevator won't move. He yells to someone down the tunnel in the room with the control panels "Hey! Hit the switch over there!" The button on the wall next to the elevator lights up and the guy presses it. The elevator opens and he steps in.

Ruby's temper flared at Clover's harsh words. "Now there is no need for name calling thank you," she said curtly. She wags her dress and squeezes out remnants of water. She places her hands on her hips and stands tall as the ferociousness gathered in her throat. "I can associate with whom ever I please", she growled as the alien like beast spoke through her spoke. With that, she stomps forward and starts ripping at the vents forcefully. "And on top of all this, my dress is soaked!" she shouted as her temper grew with each tear at the metal.
Sorry for the late post, but your right, she wouldn't be happy with being soaked either

Clover gritted her teeth at Ruby's rebuke, then smiled a bit as the girl began to rip at the vents like a rabid dog, 'Finally! She does something useful!'

<3 you Sarah ^.^*

Turning around, "So Ruby cou- oh..." He pauses, noticing her feral rage. When she's this angry she is indeed terrifying... yet beautiful, er best save the hugging for later. "Uh... I mean, Clover! Oui, Clover. Here's the plan my brains have devised. You see that button over there? When it lights up, push it! And go into the elevator. I'm going to run back to the control room and supply the power to this old death tra- er I mean elevator. After you and Ruby enter the elevator, please hold the door open for me. Then we will ride it back to the surface, undoubtedly arriving up at Sparkley Edward's bathroom catching him completely by surprise! And here is the cunning part, that's when I unload on him with my gun. And then we win the game! Excited? Oui ok!!" Before Clover can respond the excited Malkavian skips back to the control panel, flipping the switch he saw in his brain, and happily singing "Were you there when they pierced him in the side ?
Were you there when they pierced him in the side ?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they pierced him in the side ?"

Koln presumably pushes the button "34" as per the map where the elevator is located. Clover and Ruby see the button light up. Ruby manages to pull out some of the vents on the wall but the openings are too small for any person to crawl through.

The "34" reminds you of Psalm 34 where David pretended to be insane to escape from Achish. Of course you knowe the truth: insanity is but a thin line to cross on the path to genius!

That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath. But the servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David, the king of the land? Isn't he the one they sing about in their dances: "'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?"

David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath. So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.

Achish said to his servants, "Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me? Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?"

As the button labeled "34" lights up a little voice rings out in your head "Wilst thou sing any other psalms today?"

He smiles, "Oh, I think I know another one..."



Ruby and Clover can hear the faint sound of singing, growing louder and louder as he approaches.
"Qui est le chef du club
C'est fait pour vous et moi
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!
Hey! there, Hi! there, Ho! there
Vous êtes comme l'accueil comme peut être
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!"

By now Koln is visible, marching as he was trained to do so as a child, with Socrates sitting on his hat.

"Mickey Mouse!

[sblock] MICKEY MOUSE (chime in the voices in his head)[/sblock]
Forever let us hold our banner

HIGH! HIGH! HIGH! HIGH!"


"Hi"
He comes to a stop in front of the two girls with a wave. "Are we ready? Oh, and tres bien Ruby. Nice work defeating those evil metal grates! I was about to take them out myself but didn't want to use up the ammo."

 

[izillama]

Clover gritted her teeth at Koln's bubbly and oblivious demeanor. She smiled, grim and sarcastic, "Ah, la petite souris est-elle dans votre tête vous parle maintenant, Koln?" Then she shook her head.

Translation: Ah, is the little mouse in your head speaking to you now, Koln?
