Kleinlowe: The creaking stoplight's support cable starts to whine; it's at the other end of the block.
Lecoto L: say...you hungry rignt now? ::looks back::
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu also hears all those noises...but got used to them as she has been there for 4 days...she looks up at Lecoto...nodding* A bit...haven't eaten today...
OnlyRealQuinch: {observes quietly}
NyuBlackNeko: A-choo! *Nyu sneezes...as the snow started to get her cold...she did not have any coat on...*
Lecoto L: ahh.  Well, be right back then! ::snaps, teleports it the store::
Kleinlowe: The story is dusty, and the labeles are all faded or have been washed away by water.
Kleinlowe: Store, rather.
Lecoto L: ::shrugs, grabs a couple random cans, and teleports back out
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu takes out the blanket from her basket...putting it over her...*
NyuBlackNeko: That was fast...
Kleinlowe: The wind picks up. Perhaps standing in the street isn't the most comfortable place to be.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu shivers a little* Maybe we should eat them inside somewhere...
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks around for shelter*
Lecoto L: um...sure, no problem...you cold?
Kleinlowe: Quinch: It's been nearly a day since you've had luck finding anything to eat. IE, you suddenly realise you're hungry.
OnlyRealQuinch: {righto}
NyuBlackNeko: A bit...*Nyu continues to shiver a bit*
Kleinlowe: It's a wonder that in the silence, the growl of your stomache isn't heard by the two you're stalking.
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
Lecoto L: alright, where's that restaurant...
Kleinlowe: The building down the street bears the weathered marquee: "Hotel Chandler"
OnlyRealQuinch: {larf}
Lecoto L: ::Points:: That works! c'mon, a hotel
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu points towards there* Maybe that place might be open...
NyuBlackNeko: Alright...
Kleinlowe: There is a small cafe across the street from the hotel; the outside tables and chairs are still neatly stacked, though covered with a dusting of snow. The umbrellas are faded, and most are intact.
Lecoto L: ::snickers:: great minds think alike
Kleinlowe: Am I to assume you proceed down the street to the hotel?
Lecoto L: ((yup))
NyuBlackNeko: ((Wait...kinda lost...we are walking towards the hotel right? ^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: I see we have another Sliders fan in the audience, Quinch. Very well. Tell me when you reach the hotel.
OnlyRealQuinch: {as the two go toward the hotel, Quinch follows them quietly, not quite sure what to make out of them}
OnlyRealQuinch: {Sliders?}
NyuBlackNeko: *reaches hotel*
NyuBlackNeko: ((That was short...-.- ))
Lecoto L: ::snickers:: alrighty, let's try the door..
Kleinlowe: Guess not. Quinch, as you walk after them, the stoplight's mooring finaly gives It comes crashing to the ground.
Kleinlowe: Exploding in a shower of metal and glass, it's the loudest sound any of you have heard since you got here... If you don't count the howl of the wind at night.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu reaches out for the door knob or handle(whichever it is)...trying to open*
NyuBlackNeko: ((Can we hear the explosion also? ))
Kleinlowe: Nyu, the stoplight is on the other side of the block from you, just down the street.
Lecoto L: ::jumps and disappears again, but appears again several feet away
OnlyRealQuinch: {where is... or rather, was, the stoplight compared to us?}
OnlyRealQuinch: {Ah.}
Kleinlowe: Quinch, you're either beside or just north of the stolight. The hotel is furthermost north on the east side of the street.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu jumps back by the loud crash...*
OnlyRealQuinch: As the stoplight collapses behind him, Quinch turns around to see what caused the sound, unwittingly exposing himself.
NyuBlackNeko: ((We can see Quinch-kun? O.o ))
Lecoto L: ::whispers:: Nyu! someone else is here...you see him?
Kleinlowe: Yes.
Kleinlowe: He's standing in the street, facing the stoplight.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu nods...pointing around where Quinch is* There...isn't he...((She has good eye sight and good ears...-.- ))
OnlyRealQuinch: As he turns back toward Nyu and Lecoto, he notices that they're looking straight at him.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Oh %&#$."
Kleinlowe: He's just down the block, you two. Not very far.
Lecoto L: ::Lecoto shrugs:: never seen him...
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {ducks back}
NyuBlackNeko: No? It's...*shouts out...waving her arms in the air* Quinch-kun!!! Here!!
NyuBlackNeko: Eh...
OnlyRealQuinch: {blinks as Nyu calls for him}
OnlyRealQuinch: "How...."
NyuBlackNeko: Quinch-kun!!! *keeps on calling* Is that you there?
Kleinlowe: The wind howls, making Nyu's words sound uncertain and vauge to you Quinch.
OnlyRealQuinch: {slowly stands up} "Yes," he calls. "Yes, I'm here."
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu jumps in happiness* We found another! I thought I was alone at this strange place...*she continues shouting* Come over here! We have some food!
NyuBlackNeko: ((*sounds like calling a dog* X3 ))
NyuBlackNeko: ((Sorry...-.-;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {larf}
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks toward Lecoto and Nyu} 
OnlyRealQuinch: {shrugs} "Good for you, I guess."
Lecoto L: eh, any food is better than no food, in my book...
Kleinlowe: Quinch: growl
OnlyRealQuinch: {I know, I know
NyuBlackNeko: ((Growl? O.o ))
OnlyRealQuinch: bstomach}
Kleinlowe: Stomache, Nyu.
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu laughs a little by the sound...* We should eat soon...*Nyu tries to open the hotel door again*
Kleinlowe: The door dosen't  pull open, but the sign says 'push'.
NyuBlackNeko: ((-_-; ))
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu pushes the door...*
OnlyRealQuinch: {catches up with the two}
Lecoto L: Alright, unless there's a working kitchen, I can make a quick campstove...
Kleinlowe: The lobby is worn and weatherbeaten, the open exterior doors having let in much of the weather. The counter sits, dignified, the fireplace in the corner long-cold. Kindling and firewood, as well as votive candles sit out near it, ready for use. All the keys to the rooms hang, gleaming dully
Kleinlowe: past layers of tarnish, except one - room 34.
OnlyRealQuinch: {???}
Kleinlowe: Once, this was a very plush and beautiful hotel. Now it is dust and age.
Kleinlowe: The lobby is worn and weatherbeaten, the open exterior doors having let in much of the weather. 
Kleinlowe: The counter sits, dignified, the fireplace in the corner long-cold. Kindling and firewood, as well as votive candles sit out near it, ready for use. All the keys to the rooms hang, gleaming dully
Kleinlowe: I hate it when lines are too long for the chatroom.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks at that certain room...wondering why it's different...* 
Kleinlowe: Tell me if you get all of these lines of description:
Kleinlowe: 1) The lobby is worn and weatherbeaten, the open exterior doors having let in much of the weather. 
OnlyRealQuinch: {so far so good}
Kleinlowe: 2)  The counter sits, dignified, the fireplace in the corner long-cold. Kindling and firewood, as well as votive candles sit out near it, ready a for use that never came.
Kleinlowe: 3) All the keys to the rooms hang, gleaming dully past layers of tarnish, except one - room 34.
OnlyRealQuinch: {check}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Oh...okie...^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: 4. In the mail slot under the key, a single, aincent peice of mail rests under layers of dust
OnlyRealQuinch: {didn't get that one}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Got it...))
Kleinlowe: Well, now you did. Go on, do something.
Lecoto L: er...wow...::reaches for the letter, but doesn't touch it::
OnlyRealQuinch: Closing the door behind him, Quinch looks around, noticing the key on the wall.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks around the hotel...then shivers a little...as some doors are open...Nyu walks over it to close* ((Wait...was some other doors open? If not...close whatever gets the snow in))
OnlyRealQuinch: "Looks like we're not the only ones here."
Kleinlowe: Nyu, you're in the lobby. Doors lead back into the kitchen and other staff-rooms, but all guest rooms are on floors above.
NyuBlackNeko: We...aren't? *Nyu walks over to Quinch...holding her blanket tight...still shivering a bit in cold...*
Lecoto L: I guess not...but why didn't he get his mail...maybe we should visit the room...
NyuBlackNeko: ((Ooops! Never mind!!!))
NyuBlackNeko: ((*is too fast*))
NyuBlackNeko: ((Did not go over to Quinch-kun...-.-;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {shrugs} "Suppose so."
Kleinlowe: All three of you are in the lobby, Nyu.
NyuBlackNeko: ((-.-;; ))
NyuBlackNeko: ((Sorry...^^;; ))
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu walks over to the kitchen...hoping the stove will work...*
Kleinlowe: Sokay. Shoulda been clearer. Large, elegant stairs lead up to the first floor.
OnlyRealQuinch: {leans over the counter and picks up the key, turning it over in his hands as he looks at it}
Kleinlowe: Which key, QUinch?
OnlyRealQuinch: {34}
Kleinlowe: That's the only MISSING key.
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {ah!
Kleinlowe: The rest hang neatly on their hooks, nearly twenty rooms a floor, five floors.
OnlyRealQuinch: {sorry, misunderstood. Thought that one was the only one that wasn't dirty}
Kleinlowe: Sorry. Shoulda been clearer.
OnlyRealQuinch: {n/p. I have a knack for misunderstanding}
NyuBlackNeko: ((could happen...^^;; ))
Lecoto L: ::whistles Wizard of Oz theme::
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks over to the middle of the room, looking around}
Kleinlowe: The kitchen is large, dusty. All the utensils are there, and there are even a few pots on the stove, but whatever was in them has long since rotted away.
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at Lecoto} "Stop it."
Kleinlowe: The stove dosen't work; it's electric, and there's no power.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu sighs* That won't work...*then she looks around for some matches...*
Lecoto L: ::stops, looking at Quinch funny:: why?:
OnlyRealQuinch: "It's irritating."
Kleinlowe: Nyu :You find drawers full of knives, spoons, spatulas, ladels... One drawer has several long-necked commercail lighters, but there are no matches.
Kleinlowe: Nyu: You also find plates and utensils stacked neatly in a cupboard. Linen napkins rest beside them, though some of the bottom ones are rather moth and mouse-eaten.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu picks one lighter...trying if it still works*
Kleinlowe: Quinch, Lecoto: Are you being watched?
Lecoto L: Where's Nyu?
Kleinlowe: Nyu: The ligher clicks a few times, then flames nicely.
OnlyRealQuinch: {shrugs} "Last I saw her, she went that way." {points at the kitchen}
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks around, feeling a bit odd}
Lecoto L: ::blinks, shrugs, and walks over to the kitchen::
NyuBlackNeko: It works! *Nyu walks over to the fireplace...trying to get some fire...*
OnlyRealQuinch: "I'll go see what's upstairs."
OnlyRealQuinch: {heads for the stairs and up}
Kleinlowe: Lecoto, Nyu brushes by you as you head for the kitchen.
Kleinlowe: The large stairs creak alarmingly, the boards beneath the opulent red carpet rotten.
Lecoto L: ::jumps again:: Hi nyu...
Kleinlowe: The carpet has caught mosuire over the years, allowing for the growth of rot.
Lecoto L: ooh, a lighter
NyuBlackNeko: Hi Lecoto-kun! Trying to get some fire starting...so I could cook those cans of food warm...
OnlyRealQuinch: {keeps going upwards, but stepping a lot lighter, placing his entire foot as he ascends}
Kleinlowe: Nyu, you find a stack of old newspapers, the top ones illegeable with stains. They're dry, though, and if you use them for kindling, you will soon have a fire going.
NyuBlackNeko: *tries for the newspapers...patiently trying to start a fire*
Kleinlowe: The stairs creak again. Suddenly, the carpet sags under your rear foot as the wood beneath gives way.
Lecoto L: ::spins:: Quinch?
OnlyRealQuinch: "Sh*t!" {grabs the railing, trying to steady himself}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu also hears the noise* What...was that?
OnlyRealQuinch: "I'm fine."
Kleinlowe: The railing is sturdy, but the carpet soon gives way, as does the wood under your other foot.
Lecoto L: ::pokes his head out the door:: Sure about that?
Kleinlowe: Where are you, Lecoto?
OnlyRealQuinch: {slowly tries to backtrack his way down the stairs} 
OnlyRealQuinch: "Yeah."
Kleinlowe: If you're in the lobby with Nyu, then Quinch is just at the north of the lobby, on the stairs leading up the guest rooms.
Kleinlowe: No doors in the way.
NyuBlackNeko: Are you sure you are alright Quinch-kun? *Nyu shouts out*
Kleinlowe: The stairs support your weight on the way back down. If you look at the ceiling, it appears a pipe burst when there was still water in them; waterstains on the ceiling and carpet of the staircase show a good deal of water was once present there, and likely rot to follow.
Lecoto L: ((fine then..just by the kitchen with Nyu))
OnlyRealQuinch: {frowns} "I. Am. Fine."
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu sighs in relief...then continues to light up...*
Lecoto L: anyway...::walks over to the fire and snaps, creating a can opener::
Kleinlowe: The flue is blocked, and smoke starts to gather around the high ceiling of the lobby. It's a big, open room, so it shouldn't be an issue for awhile.
OnlyRealQuinch: {is Quinch still, basically, *on* the stairs?}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Kit says hi to Jeri...and that one day he will marry you...and hello to all others...))
Kleinlowe: Quinch easily makes it to the foor of the stairs.
Kleinlowe: Hehe!
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu gets a pot...then gets something that could hold the pot over the fire...*
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at the foot-holes from the base of the stairs}
OnlyRealQuinch: "Well, might reassess my theory about not being alone. Nobody's walked those for a while."
Kleinlowe: Lecoto: how many cans did you grab?
Lecoto L: ((three))
Kleinlowe: The first can is green beans.
Lecoto L: ((yay))
Lecoto L: ((pardon as I hurl))
OnlyRealQuinch: {pardons Lecoto}
Kleinlowe: Nyu, you find a large kettle and some oven mitts.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu puts on the mitts...holding the kettle...taking it over to the fireplace...*
Kleinlowe: Do tell me if you decide to open the other cans.
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks over to Nyu and Lecoto, and peers suspiciously at the cans}
OnlyRealQuinch: "Life knows how old are these." He sighs. "Not much choice, though."
Lecoto L: ((yes, I'll open the other two))
NyuBlackNeko: Hope they aren't too old...
Lecoto L: ANything's good if you cook it long enough...
Kleinlowe: The fire is burning nicely, now, and its warmth is welcome, even if it makes the room rather smokey. 
Kleinlowe: The second can is refried beans.
Lecoto L: ((there we go))
Kleinlowe: Lecoto, as you open the third can, a massive tarantula climbs out and onto your hand. Quinch and Nyu: You do not see the spider. Instead, the can seems to be full of cocktail weiners in barbeque sauce.
NyuBlackNeko: Let's place those cans inside the kettle...it will warm up by itself...
NyuBlackNeko: ((The third can? ))
Lecoto L: ::insert combination of girl scream and lots of baaaaad words here::
OnlyRealQuinch: {not see as it's invisible to us, or...?}
OnlyRealQuinch: {leaps to his feet} 
OnlyRealQuinch: "What is it?!"
Lecoto L: ::drops the can, by the way::
Kleinlowe: I'm not telling if it's real or not. When Lecoto drops the can, a few cocktail weiners spill onto the carpet.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu jumps back* What's wrong?
Kleinlowe: The spider clings to your arm, Lecoto, slowly climbing up toward your shoulder.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu quickly grabs it up*
OnlyRealQuinch: {sighs} "There goes food."
Lecoto L: ::Lecoto's hair flares up with electricity as he begins running the stuff all over his body::
NyuBlackNeko: ((The can I mean))
Lecoto L: DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE...
NyuBlackNeko: ((O__o;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: "Whoa... hey!" {backs away a little}
Kleinlowe: Nyu gets to the can before more than two or three wieners escape.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Er.... your friend usually do that?"
Kleinlowe: No more spider, Lecoto. No trace of it.
NyuBlackNeko: What was wrong Lecoto-kun?
Lecoto L: ::attempts to hyperventalate as he stands there and sparks::
Lecoto L: I...
Lecoto L: Dont...
Lecoto L: Like ...
Lecoto L: Spiders!!!!
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks around* There were spiders?
OnlyRealQuinch: {frowns} "And where, pray tell, do you see spiders?"
OnlyRealQuinch: {back in a minute, getting some food for himself}
Kleinlowe: Mm, mm. Green bean, refried beans, and cocktail weiner stew.
Lecoto L: effing hallucenation...just an effing hallucenation...
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu places the cans inside the kettle...to warm it up*
Kleinlowe: It's starting to get dark out. The falling snow and violet sky make it seem calm, nice out.
Kleinlowe: Nyu, as you examine the cocktail weiners, you realize they smell awful funny.
Kleinlowe: Rather like sweatsocks.
Lecoto L: (((eeeeewwww))
NyuBlackNeko: ((Eww...))
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu holds her nose...as the smell starts to get her dizzy*
NyuBlackNeko: Are the weiners too old?
Kleinlowe: Those are some bad weiners. Likely weren't cooked thoroughly at the factory.
OnlyRealQuinch: {picks up one of the weenies and smells it}
Lecoto L: eeeewwwww...
Kleinlowe: Quinch: Yeah, that's not something you wanna put in your mouth.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Eww...never had one although...o.o ))
Lecoto L: ((brb...))
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
*** Lecoto L has left the chat.
OnlyRealQuinch: {takes a small bit and puts it in his mouth}
NyuBlackNeko: ((O__O ))
OnlyRealQuinch: "Weird taste."
OnlyRealQuinch: {shrugs}
OnlyRealQuinch: "Edible, though."
OnlyRealQuinch: {isn't too picky}
NyuBlackNeko: You don't have to eat them...*Nyu sai\ys in a worry*
NyuBlackNeko: *says
Kleinlowe: Quinch... In eight hours, you get dyssentary.
OnlyRealQuinch: {oh joy}
NyuBlackNeko: ((O.O;;; ))
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu takes the can of wiener out...* I guess we can't eat these...
Kleinlowe: When Lecoto gets back, Nyu, you realize that a can of green beans and a can of refried beans is a patheticly small amount of food for three people.
OnlyRealQuinch: {puts the weenie back in the can} "Dunno."
OnlyRealQuinch: {PG facepalms. "Gee, now you change your mind!"}
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: Quinch, if you want to eat them all, you won't get dissentary. You will, however, puke in fifteen minutes.
OnlyRealQuinch: {larf}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu decides to give the can of refried beans to Quinch...and the green beans to Lecoto(if he gets back)*
Kleinlowe: I think that's a good tradeoff, myself.
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {but wouldn't be IC}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu takes out the leftover cookies for herself...*
Kleinlowe: *pauses reality untill Lecoto gets back*
NyuBlackNeko: ((*PG twirls while waiting*))
NyuBlackNeko: ((Hmm...BRB...))
*** lecoto l has been invited to the group chat.
*** Lecoto L has joined the chat.
Lecoto L: ok, where are you guys now?
Kleinlowe: Quinch ate half a weiner. Nyu has cookies. You don't have enough food.
OnlyRealQuinch: {half? Ate maybe a cubic centimeter}
Lecoto L: yeah...well, more where that came from...I happen to like refried beans...
Kleinlowe: Oh, sorry, Qunch.
OnlyRealQuinch: {ain't picky, but ain't suicidal either}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Back!))
Lecoto L: ((good choice, in my opinion))
OnlyRealQuinch: {{Front!!}
Kleinlowe: Okay, no diseases for Quinch. But the weiners aren't suitable for consumption.
OnlyRealQuinch: {er... right. 'kay}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu hands the can of refried beans to Lecoto...and the green beans to Quinch...putting the wiener away...* Since I don't eat much...the cookies are good enough for me...
Lecoto L: well, back to the store!
OnlyRealQuinch: ??
Lecoto L: Where I got the food...of sorts... in the first place
NyuBlackNeko: It's alright Lecoto-kun...we should go back to it tomorrow...as it's starting to get dark and cold outside...
OnlyRealQuinch: {ah... okay}
Lecoto L: Oh, I'll be fine, I've got a sweatshirt!
NyuBlackNeko: Sweatshirt...doesn't seem too warm enough...
Kleinlowe: The beans and beans smell pretty good, now that they're hot. They bubble in their cans.
OnlyRealQuinch: {puts down the can}
OnlyRealQuinch: {stands up} "Lecoto, you want a spoon too?"
Lecoto L: oh, but you don't have my sweatshirt! Back in a flash! ...well, not literally...
Lecoto L: ::walks back out of the hotel::
Kleinlowe: Lecoto, the wind is harsh as you walk down the street, gusting, the dark windows of the buildings like empty eyes as you head back to the store. There may also be food in the cafe.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu puts the cookies away...not eating them...*
Kleinlowe: Nyu, Quinch: It may just be the heat of the fire warping the timbers of the building... But a series of soft creaks from the ceiling sound an awful lot like footsteps.
Lecoto L: ::pulls his hood tighter and jams his hands in his pockets, woaking forward::
OnlyRealQuinch: {heads for the kitchen, and there is a serious of soft clatters as he takes a pair of spoons}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks around the place as she hears the noises...*
NyuBlackNeko: I wonder if it's just the sound of the woods...or if someone is...here...
Kleinlowe: Lecoto: If, by forward, you mean directly across the street, you find the door to the cafe swings loosely on its hinges.
OnlyRealQuinch: "It's just the wind," he says as he emerges from the kitchen."
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu puts the kettle down...to get it away from the fire*
OnlyRealQuinch: {and slows down, then stops}
NyuBlackNeko: Hope so...
Kleinlowe: Nyu: There's a man standing on the balcony above the stairs. Dressed in a white labcoat, he looks directlly at you... but vanished when Quinch gets back.
OnlyRealQuinch: {blinks}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu blinks....then rubs her eyes...*
OnlyRealQuinch: "Should be the wing. The wood won't support anyone up there."
OnlyRealQuinch: {er, wind}
NyuBlackNeko: Is it...just what I think I have seen or not?
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks behind him}
Lecoto L: ::explores, looking for food::
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at Nyu curiously} Seen what?
Kleinlowe: Nyu, I'm not going to tell you if it was real or not.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu shakes her head* I must be getting tired...
Kleinlowe: Lecoto: It was an old greasy spoon. The menu-board still tells you the special of the day is cod.
OnlyRealQuinch: {shrugs} Could be. 
NyuBlackNeko: I thought I saw something...am I having some fever? *Nyu holds her hand on her forehead*
Kleinlowe: There's cans of soda in a dead, glass cooler off to one side.
Lecoto L: ::shrugs, and unzips his sweatshirt pocket, pulling three out and putting them in::
Kleinlowe: The kitchen is behind another door.
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks over to Nyu, glancing one more over his shoulder, and puts his hand on Nyu's forehead}
Lecoto L: ::walks over and tries opening it, both directions::
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu has some fever*
OnlyRealQuinch: "You don't seem hot... then again, I don't know what's the normal temperature for your species."
NyuBlackNeko: Hmm...
OnlyRealQuinch: {er... okay, make that "You seem a bit hot" then}
*** Lecoto L has left the chat.
NyuBlackNeko: ((O.o;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {Hm...}
Kleinlowe: The door gives after a few tries. It will take awhile to search the kitchen, but you find some preserved food: massive cans of preproccessed cheese-food. There's even a plasic jar of pickles that seems to have endured through some feat of modern preseravtives.
Kleinlowe: Dammit.
Kleinlowe: Pause!
OnlyRealQuinch: {think he'll be back soon enough}
Kleinlowe: No, I take that back. No pause.
OnlyRealQuinch: {...'kay.}
Kleinlowe: Quinch and Nyu, you can keep having dinner.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu starts eating her cookies...although there are only three left...*
OnlyRealQuinch: {sits down again and is about to dig the spoon in, then stops}
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at Nyu} "You sure that's enough for you?"
Kleinlowe: Quinch, you recall seeing sealed containers of salt, pepper and other dry spices in the kitchen when you went for food.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu nods* I don't eat much...this is good enough...they are pretty filling...*which she is lying...-.-;; *
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at Nyu for a few seconds}
OnlyRealQuinch: "'kay."
*** lecoto l has been invited to the group chat.
Kleinlowe: Lecoto: The door gives after a few tries. It will take awhile to search the kitchen, but you find some preserved food: massive cans of preproccessed cheese-food. There's even a plasic jar of pickles that seems to have endured through some feat of modern preseravtives.
*** Lecoto L has joined the chat.
OnlyRealQuinch: {'ello again}
Kleinlowe: Lecoto: The door gives after a few tries. It will take awhile to search the kitchen, but you find some preserved food: massive cans of preproccessed cheese-food. There's even a plasic jar of pickles that seems to have endured through some feat of modern preseravtiv
NyuBlackNeko: *shortly after Nyu finishes her cookies...* ((Welcome back...^^;; ))
Lecoto L: hihi
Lecoto L: ::once again, invades the kitchen::
Kleinlowe:  Lecoto: The door gives after a few tries. It will take awhile to search the kitchen, but you find some preserved food: massive cans of preproccessed cheese-food. 
Kleinlowe: There's even a plasic jar of pickles that seems to have endured through some feat of modern preseravtivies.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks around if there is anything she could do...*
OnlyRealQuinch: {turns his attention back to the bean can... but doesn't start eating}
Kleinlowe: Nyu, the can of green beans looks awfuly tempting.
OnlyRealQuinch: {instead, he seems to stir the beans slowly, as though he's not too sure if there's something else inside}
Kleinlowe: Mebby it could use some salt or pepper, though. Quinch: It's just beans.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu decides to not stay there...she stands up...then walks over to the letter box...picking up the letter to get her mind away from the food*
OnlyRealQuinch: {doesn't care much for condiments... as far as he's concerned, if something's edible, it's food. If it ain't, it's not. That pretty much sums up his entire eating philosophy}
Lecoto L: ::shrugs, and grabs the pickle jar, and heads back across the street::
Kleinlowe: The envelope is yellow with age. The little plastic window is addressed to a Dr. James Morely.
OnlyRealQuinch: {starts eating slowly}
OnlyRealQuinch: {still kinda suspicious}
NyuBlackNeko: Dr. James Morely...*she reads out quietly...then decides to open it...*
Kleinlowe: Nyu, you begin to open the envelope, but are interrupted as Lecoto returns with the pickles.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu decides to read it later...puts it in her pocket*
Lecoto L: Food call! ..Or something like that...
NyuBlackNeko: Brought something more? *Nyu walks back over to the fireplace*
Lecoto L: Pickles...and sodas,....I think...::begins pulling food out
OnlyRealQuinch: {puts the half-finished can away... for all his hunger, he somehow doesn't really feel like eating}
NyuBlackNeko: Hmm...I don't think they need to be warmed...
Lecoto L: no, definately don't warm the pickles
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks over to Quinch* Not hungry?
Lecoto L: well...
Lecoto L: If you're not going to finish that...
Kleinlowe: The big, open lobby may not be cozy in the conventional sense, but with the wind beginning to pick up again outside, it's certainly nicer than the last four days.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu glances over to the keys for the rooms* We each could have a room to sleep in! Or should we just sleep...here all together?
Kleinlowe: The flickering fire casts dancing shadows across the room, making figures out of the corner of your eye.
OnlyRealQuinch: {gets up} "No... not really."
NyuBlackNeko: ((No to which? ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {hungry}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Ah...^^; ))
Kleinlowe: There does seem to be some very opulent, comfortable furniture in the lobby... But none of you have had a real bed in nearly a week!
Lecoto L: ::digs into green beans happily::
OnlyRealQuinch: "Oh, and by the way..." {points upwards to the rotting staircase} "I'm not sure if going into the upstairs rooms would be such a good idea. You might find yourself sleeping at the ground floor."
Kleinlowe: There is an elevator shaft, and likely a back stairs behind the kitchen.
Kleinlowe: It's just the main staircase that's impassable.
NyuBlackNeko: *while taking the new foods into the kitchen...Nyu discovers the other stairs*
Lecoto L: ((considers, decides the ground floor works just fine))
NyuBlackNeko: Here is another way to go upstairs! *Nyu shouts out*
Lecoto L: ::gets up:: careful Nyu...
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks in Nyu's direction}
Kleinlowe: Nyu: you think you may hear whispering voices from the top of the staircase... Or was it just your own voice echoing>
OnlyRealQuinch: "You sure it's safe?"
Kleinlowe: It's cement stairs.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu's ears twitch a little...catching the voice...then she shakes her head agan...* I think my fever is getting worse...
Kleinlowe: Your typical access stairs; painted cement and cinderblock, with a metal railing.
NyuBlackNeko: I'll try...*Nyu steps out...tries climbing up the stairs carefully*
Kleinlowe: Your footsteps echo, Nyu. A mouse runs across the stairs in front of you, but you reach the first floor okay,.
Lecoto L: ::follows Nyu, stands at teh base of the stairs::
Kleinlowe: You can see the walkway that opens out onto the grand stairs and the lobby at the end of the hall, Nyu.
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks to Lecoto and watches as well}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu steps back by the mouse...but then continues to go up...unti she reaches the first floor...she looks at the others* It's pretty safe!
Kleinlowe: The flickering firelight and curling smoke of the lobby.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu then walks down the hall...*
NyuBlackNeko: ((curling smoke? O.o ))
Kleinlowe: Nyu, the flue is clogged. Your fire in the fireplace's smoke curls around the ceiling of the lobby.
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks up as Nyu comes down, and knocks his heel on the floor, trying to see if it's made of wood or something more solid}
Kleinlowe: When you walk out onto the landing, Nyu, you see someone standing by the fire. You can't make out his features, but he's pointing at the fireplace.
Lecoto L: "Nyu? Everything all right?"
Kleinlowe: It's wood, Quinch, but it's been kept dry from the weather. It's quite safe.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu coughs a little...then rubs her eyes again...*
NyuBlackNeko: Why am I keep on seeing things...*Nyu mutters quietly*
Kleinlowe: The figure looks directly at you, Nyu, its eyes bright with an unstated urgency.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Right." {walks back down}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks back...wondering what the figure is meaning*
Lecoto L: ::starts up the stairs:: Nyu?
Kleinlowe: There's a sharp shreik, Nyu, and it feels as if the shadowy figure has lept from the floor right at you. None of the others hear it or see it.
Kleinlowe: The figure dissolves into shadow, though its bright eyes leave afterimages on yours.
NyuBlackNeko: Kya! *Nyu falls back...holding her ears down....as the sharp shreik seem to echo in her ears*
Kleinlowe: Quinch, you are in the Kitchen?
OnlyRealQuinch: {just came down the same stairs Nyu climbed down just a minute ago}
OnlyRealQuinch: {went to check the floor}
NyuBlackNeko: ((I did not climb down...o.o;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {oops. Well, he still did}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Still on the second floor as I remember...o.o;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {rushes back up} "Hey, what's going on?"
Kleinlowe: Report in: Everyone state your location, please.
Lecoto L: Three steps from second floor::
NyuBlackNeko: *is in second floor*
OnlyRealQuinch: {running up the concrete stairs, headed for Nyu}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu shakes her head* I think the fever is getting on me...I'm keeping on seeing something...hearing something too...
Kleinlowe: Okay. Quinch, you see nothing of the shade.
OnlyRealQuinch: {thought as much}
Kleinlowe: Where are the pickles?
OnlyRealQuinch: {the kitchen, I think}
NyuBlackNeko: ((In the kitchen))
Kleinlowe: Okay.
Lecoto L: downstairs, all I know
Kleinlowe: Now...
OnlyRealQuinch: {dum-dum-DUUM!}
NyuBlackNeko: ((*high scream*))
Lecoto L: ::runs up stairs::
Kleinlowe: It's dark out, completely. The old grandfather clock in the lobby next to the TV reads 9, but it's read that for years. You can smell the remaining food up on the landing.
Kleinlowe: Things seem... as normal as they can get for now.
OnlyRealQuinch: {sighs} "Okay, Lecoto, you take care of her. Put her to bed or something. I'll go take a look around."
Lecoto L: "I can handle that..."
NyuBlackNeko: Wait...I think we should better turn the fireplace off...it's smoking up this place...and...sorry...
Lecoto L: Oh, that's all right...it is, isn't it...
OnlyRealQuinch: {heads back down and starts quickly and systematically checking every room inthe hotel, starting with the kitchen}
OnlyRealQuinch: {how many and which rooms are there, anyway? I think you mentioned before, but I forgot}
Kleinlowe: There are five floors, with thirty rooms each.
Kleinlowe: Floor 1 is mostly maintence and staff, as well as two handicap-accesable suites.
OnlyRealQuinch: {Floor 1 as in ground floor, or the actual first floor?}
Kleinlowe: Yes, Floor 1 is Ground.
OnlyRealQuinch: {has noticed that some people refer to ground floor as the first, while others don't}
OnlyRealQuinch: {righto}
Kleinlowe: Floor 2 and 3 are standard rooms. Room 4 is quites. Room 5 is two huge pentouse suites, and a dry rooftop pool.
Kleinlowe: Floor 4, rather.
Kleinlowe: Floor 4 is SUITES.
OnlyRealQuinch: {guessed that much}
Kleinlowe: All the doors are locked.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu's face seems a bit...red...because of the fever...it certainly is getting worse*
Lecoto L: ::takes off his sweatshirt:: Geez Nyu, how long have you been getting sick?
OnlyRealQuinch: {starts checking all the unlocked rooms, starting from the ground floor and working his way upwards}
NyuBlackNeko: Don't know...the first time I checked was...hmm...yesterday...
Kleinlowe: There are no unlocked rooms (aside from laundry rooms and vending machine alcoves) alove the first floor.
OnlyRealQuinch: bincluding the staff rooms?}
Kleinlowe: The gift shop on the first floor is locked, but there's medicines for sale behind the counter.
Kleinlowe: The staff rooms on the first floor are open.
Kleinlowe: Offices, mostly.
OnlyRealQuinch: {right}
Lecoto L: Here, you should put this on, ::hands Nyu his sweatshirt::
Kleinlowe: If you want to get into a room, it'll be easy enough to snag it's key from behind the desk. Execpt for 34, of course.
NyuBlackNeko: Are you sure? It's pretty cold inside here also...I'm sure there will be some blankets around these rooms...
OnlyRealQuinch: "Hoi!" he calls as he comes across the counter. "There's some medicines here... life knows how old, though."
Kleinlowe: You'll have to break in to the gift shop, quinch.
OnlyRealQuinch: {does so}
Lecoto L: Trust me, I'll be fine
Lecoto L: Just put this on now and I'll find a blanket in the meantime, kay?
Kleinlowe: Lecoto and Nyu, you hear Quinch's call.
NyuBlackNeko: I'm sorry...*Nyu looks down...holding onto your sweatshirt tightly*
NyuBlackNeko: Medicine...that would help///
NyuBlackNeko: *...
OnlyRealQuinch: "Okay, I'll be there in a minute!"
Kleinlowe: Quinch: the liquid medicines have all settled out, but seem fine aside from that. The soild ones seem okay.
OnlyRealQuinch: {grabs the bottles one by one, and quickly scans the labels of each one to see which ones are for fevers}
Kleinlowe: Nothing too powerful, just the usual over-the-counter stuff.
Lecoto L: Ah good, medicine.  Now, blankets... ::begins searching the room
Kleinlowe: Modern plastic bottles of cough syrup, flu medicine, and the rest will need to be shaken pretty darn well to get them back to suspensions.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu tries standing up...but sinks down again...as she gets dizzy*
Kleinlowe: Lecoto, all the room doors are locked.
Kleinlowe: Unless you want to get a key.
OnlyRealQuinch: {takes one packet of fever pills and one bottle, and after a brief visit to the kitchen to get a small spoon, heads back up towards the two}
Lecoto L: ::forehead slap:: Nyu, you comfy for a second?
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu nods* I am...
Kleinlowe: Quinch easily reaches Nyu.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Hey. Some of this might help, I think."
Lecoto L: Be right back, going to get keys::goes down stairs, and pulls several room keys from that floor::
Lecoto L: ::keeping them in order::
OnlyRealQuinch: "Think you can swallow one of thse pills? If not, I guess syrup would do." {looks closely at the settled gunk at the bottom of the bottle}
OnlyRealQuinch: "I think."
Kleinlowe: As you take the keys, Lecoto... something feels cold. Your eyes fall on the empty slot for Room 34, and its empty mailbox.
OnlyRealQuinch: {turns the bottle upside down, keeping his thumb pressed to the cork so it doesn't fall out}
Kleinlowe: Modern bottles, Quinch. 20th century. Plasic childproof cap.
NyuBlackNeko: I can take any kind...
OnlyRealQuinch: "All right, I'd reccomend the pills."
OnlyRealQuinch: "Hoi, Lecoto!"
OnlyRealQuinch: "Think you can get some water up while you're down there?"
Lecoto L: ::shouts:: SURE!! ::looks for a glass::
Kleinlowe: Glasses in the kitchen... But where would water be?
Kleinlowe: There's bottled water in the vending machines, but you'll need to do some work to break into them.
Kleinlowe: Do you smell... plasic burning?
Lecoto L: ::looks around for burning::
OnlyRealQuinch: {do we?}
Kleinlowe: An ember has jumped from the fire to the carpet and is starting to smolder.
Kleinlowe: Generaly, when I ask a question like that, it's a question that binks up in the back of your head.
Lecoto L: Bah...::jogs over and starts stomping::
Kleinlowe: Lecoto puts out theember immediately. Nyu notices he's standing right where the dark figure was.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu sits down comfotably...tucking herself tight with the blanket and the clothers...then seeing Lecoto...she shouts out* Wait! Don't go there!!
OnlyRealQuinch: {yes, but all of us, or just the person you were briefing last}
Kleinlowe: All.
OnlyRealQuinch: {got it}
Lecoto L: Don't go where? ::moves away::
Kleinlowe: It's out now, anyway.
OnlyRealQuinch: {but usually?}
Kleinlowe: Yes.
OnlyRealQuinch: {'kay}
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks from Nyu to Lecoto, then back to Nyu again, then again at Lecoto}
OnlyRealQuinch: {you'd think he's watching a tennis match}
NyuBlackNeko: Just...becareful...*Nyu's voice tones down*
Kleinlowe: SInce you haven't had anything to eat, Lecoto, your stomache starts grumbling. You can smell the untouched can of beans and the half-eaten can of beans.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Okay," he says, not loudly, but in a no-nonsense tone of voice. "What's going on?"
OnlyRealQuinch: {talking to Nyu}
Lecoto L: ::grabs the non touched beans and walks over to the vending machine, sucking beans::
NyuBlackNeko: I'm...sorry...I keep on seeing things...the same shadowy figure...
Kleinlowe: Those are the greenbreans.
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks carefully around} "Nah. Guess you're just seeing things."
Kleinlowe: The vending machine stares disspassionaly back at Lecoto. It does look pretty soid, and even if you had an entire dollar to blow on it, there's no power.
Lecoto L: ::eats beans, and stares at the machine::
NyuBlackNeko: I guess so...
Lecoto L: ((were there stools or something in the lobby?))
Kleinlowe: Big, heavy, comfy chairs and two couches.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Use the kettle! @.@ ))
Lecoto L: ((Good thinking!!)) ::walks back to the fireplace::
Kleinlowe: The fire crackles nicely, the flickering light warm and yellow. The pile of newspapers still sits by it, untouched except for those Nyu used for kindling.
Kleinlowe: There is a distinct lack of spiders in your beans, Lecoto.
OnlyRealQuinch: {larf}
Lecoto L: ::grumbles::
Lecoto L: ::moves the paper and other burnables away from the fireplace::
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at the bottle in his hand, and starts shaking it idly, holding it upside down by the neck and shaking it from side to side}
Kleinlowe: The ceiling is starting to fill with smoke, but it seems to be being drawn by a draft around the doors of the two second-floor rooms, like their windows were open. However, the windows on the second floor seemed to be all closed when you saw them from the outside.
Lecoto L: ((water in the kettle?))
NyuBlackNeko: *Is just sitting there...hoping her fever to die down*
Kleinlowe: (No, use the kettle to smash the machine!)
OnlyRealQuinch: {couldn't he have just put a foot through the glass?}
Lecoto L: ((Ok!)) takes kettle::
Kleinlowe: Not the glass kind. Plastic face, steel frame.
OnlyRealQuinch: {ah}
Kleinlowe: The enclosed soda kind, not the open snacks kind.
OnlyRealQuinch: {got it}
Kleinlowe: There is a snacks kind on the second floor, in case you get hungry and feel like smashing some glass. What they put in those things NEVER goes bad.
NyuBlackNeko: ((*is not getting well of what is going on currently*))
OnlyRealQuinch: {Lecoto downstairs, trying to break into the vending machine to get some water for Nyu to take the fever pill with}
Lecoto L: ::swings::
Kleinlowe: Lecoto is smashing the vending machine in the back hall of the first floor, and finds it stocked with soda, soda, soda, soda and bottled water.
OnlyRealQuinch: {{laughes} This is starting to sound like an old-style adventure game}
Kleinlowe: One thing's for sure, you're not gonna get thirsty... unless you don't like flat soda or stale bottled water.
Lecoto L: ((doens't mind flat soda at all, IRL))
Kleinlowe: Now hurry up, I have suprises planned for you when you get to bed!
NyuBlackNeko: ^^;
Kleinlowe: Lecoto makes his way to Nyu as Quinch finishes shaking the medicine back into its orginal state.
Lecoto L: ::grabs two bottles of water and heads back upstairs::
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks at the medicine...not really happy about its color*
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at the bottle in his hand and notices the look on Nyu's face}
OnlyRealQuinch: "Pretty much the reason I'd reccomend the pills."
NyuBlackNeko: I'll drink it...if it can get my fever down...
Kleinlowe: The package is clearly labeled as a 'FEVER REDUCER' among other things.
NyuBlackNeko: ((BRB real quick! @.@ ))
Lecoto L: ((ok))
OnlyRealQuinch: {off for a few minutes too... hafta walk the hellhounds}
Kleinlowe: Okay. When you folks get back, have dinner before I let the rats get it.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Wait...hope everyone gets back soon...because I leave tomorrow for a camp))
Lecoto L: ((grabs the cans of food on his way back upstairs::
Kleinlowe: Eik.
NyuBlackNeko: ((O.o;; ))
NyuBlackNeko: ((Hmm...so we are waiting for the others coming back? ))
Lecoto L: I think so
NyuBlackNeko: ((We are all waiting for Quinch-kun I think...Jeri and you are still on...))
Kleinlowe: Yep.
Lecoto L: ((alrighty))
NyuBlackNeko: ((*is waiting* o.o))
OnlyRealQuinch: {grumbles}
OnlyRealQuinch: {is back}
OnlyRealQuinch: {sorry it took me so long... was unplanned}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Yey!))
NyuBlackNeko: ((Continue the rp! >.< ))
Lecoto L: ((OK! )) ::heads back upstairs, bottled water inb his pocket, can in each hand::
OnlyRealQuinch: {on with the show}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu blinks at the liquid* Do you know what flavor it is?
OnlyRealQuinch: {shakes his head} No idea.
Kleinlowe: It's green.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Eww...))
Kleinlowe: Ny*Quil green.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu decides not to look at it...as she feels getting wrose by looking at the green stuff*
Kleinlowe: You're all currently sitting in the balcony above the lobby, in the warm, smoky air created by the fire in the fireplace below.
Lecoto L: ::hands a bottle of water to Nyu::
OnlyRealQuinch: {sees the look on Nyu's face and decides to put the bottle away somwhere}
Lecoto L: How are we going to put out the fire?
Kleinlowe: About twenty feet ahead is the stairs Quinch tried to climb earlier.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks at the smokey ceiling* Shouldn't we put the fire off?
Kleinlowe: You're all still pretty hungry, too.
OnlyRealQuinch: {shrugs} "Dunno. I don't mind it, but if one of you two does..." 
OnlyRealQuinch: {shrugs}
Lecoto L: Yeah...I think we should.
Lecoto L: Then I eat...
Kleinlowe: A steady draft around the doors of the second-floor rooms ensures you're not all going to die of carbon monoxide posioning.
Kleinlowe: Without the fire it will be very dark.. and very cold.
NyuBlackNeko: We should leave a window or two open...to let the smoke out...
OnlyRealQuinch: {isn't monoxide flammable? {needs to brush up on his chemistry}}
NyuBlackNeko: But why is the smoke leaking here?
Kleinlowe: Monoxide is not flammable, but it will suffocate you.
Kleinlowe: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are two gasses produced by combustion.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Okie okie...enough with science...@__@;;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: "Well, my guess is that the chimney is clogged up somewhere. Maybe some birds made a nest in there at some time or another."
Kleinlowe: The stairs you came up on go all the way up to the roof, should you wish to try and unclog the chimney.
Lecoto L: Probably, and I don't feel like arguign with them at the moment...hmmm...
Lecoto L: ::sets down the cans and water, and goes back downstairs::
NyuBlackNeko: Maybe...is the medicine done? *Nyu holds onto her water bottle*
OnlyRealQuinch: "Oh, yes, here it is." {opens the packet and drops a pair of tablets on Nyu's palm}
OnlyRealQuinch: "Two should be enough, I think."
Lecoto L: ::grabs a couple cans of the least appealing flat soda and goes to the fireplace::
OnlyRealQuinch: "At least judging from the dosage instructions."
Kleinlowe: Gel-caps the same colour as the bottle.
NyuBlackNeko: Thank you...*Nyu opens the bottle of water...then throws the medicine in her mouth...drinking down the water quickly*
NyuBlackNeko: *then she lets out a sigh* That went down well...
Kleinlowe: The wind outside picks up again, howling past the dusty windows of the hotel. The outer door flaps open, letting in a freezing draft and making the fire flicker.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Well, they should work." 
Kleinlowe: The keys clink on their hooks.
Lecoto L: ::opens a can, and starts pouring it on the fire::
OnlyRealQuinch: {groans loudly as the door opens and heads down to close them again}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu shivers a little by the sudden cold wind*
Kleinlowe: The fire starts to sputter out, plunging the room into darkness.
Kleinlowe: Quinch: you can no longer see where you're going.
OnlyRealQuinch: {keeps going, but with considerable caution, testing each step}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks around the darkness...holding tight to her blanket and sweater*
NyuBlackNeko: *sweatshirt
Kleinlowe: Quinch: you don't remember there being towels in the stairway...
OnlyRealQuinch: {and if it weren't a complete darkness, someone might see him rolling his eyes}
OnlyRealQuinch: {pauses as his foot lands on something soft... something he was pretty sure wasn't there earlier}
Lecoto L: Oops...Nyu, still have that lighter?
NyuBlackNeko: ((It's at the fireplace))
Kleinlowe: Nyu: Whispering voices seem to come from about a foot to your left, while QUinch went off to your right.,
OnlyRealQuinch: {prods the soft thing with the tip of his boot}
Kleinlowe: A metal rack with a number of folded towels and facecloths confronts you, Quinch.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks over to the left...staying quiet to listen what the whispers are saying*
Kleinlowe: Indecipherable, Nyu... it sounds like... people talking in the lobby, now. Like the usual noise of a populated hotel.
NyuBlackNeko: *she knows she should stay still...but she slowly walks to her left...to get the whispers clearer*
OnlyRealQuinch: {backs away a step, his hand slowly reaching over his shoulder}
Kleinlowe: A hand comes to rest on yours, Quinch.
Lecoto L: ::feels around for the lighter::
NyuBlackNeko: Eh...*Nyu stops...then shakes her head...seeming it is impossible*
Kleinlowe: Lecoto finds the lighter after a few minutes in the dim red glow of the embers.
OnlyRealQuinch: {pauses for a split second.... then takes a small step forward and drops in a crouch, delivering a sweeping floor kick at whoever is behind him}
Kleinlowe: Your foot hits a metal panel, Quinch, and a chill like ice-water permates your kicking leg.
NyuBlackNeko: Is...someone there? *Nyu first says in a small voice*
Kleinlowe: The lobby bell chimes clearly.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Ouch! Sh*t! Yeah, there is!"
Lecoto L: ::flicks the lighter::
Kleinlowe: Quinch: At the same time, there is a sound of a body hitting the floor in the darkness, the picking itself back up.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu does not like what is going around...she shouts out* Is everyone alright?
Lecoto L: ::looks around, trying to see into the lobby::
Kleinlowe: The voices stop as the dim, flickering light barely illuminates the lobby. Quinch can barely see... he's in the second floor laundry room, having taken the wrong door.
Kleinlowe: Quinch, you have successfuly attacked a washing machine. You get 20 exp.
Lecoto L: Hello?
OnlyRealQuinch: {jumps back to his feet and starts feeling the air around him in quick, brief and irregular moves of his hands... he looks as though he's trying to catch flies}
NyuBlackNeko: ((X3 ))
Kleinlowe: You grab a towel, Quinch, from the rack.
Kleinlowe: Rather, one gets tangled on your hands as you swat.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu stays still...hoping the others to come back soon...as she does not really enjoy the darkness...
NyuBlackNeko: *
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks around himself, trying to make out his surroundings}
OnlyRealQuinch: "Could've sworn..."
OnlyRealQuinch: {carefully heads for what appears to be the door}
Kleinlowe: The stairs are one doorway down; an easy mistake.
Kleinlowe: But the stairs are cloaked in darkness too thick to see through.
Lecoto L: ::looks around the lobby again, then heads upstairs::
Kleinlowe: The lighter goes out as you walk, Lecoto, the breeze of your transit too much for the flame. It will easily relight, but a torch is in order.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu crouches down...hugging her legs tight...waiting the others to come soon*
OnlyRealQuinch: {intentionally closes his eyes and tries to remember where the stairs lay, walking carefully, and listening even more carefully}
Kleinlowe: Quinch makes it down the stairs without incident.
Lecoto L: ::makes his way back to the fireplace, and gets one of the newspapers::
OnlyRealQuinch: {heads toward the entrance door, orienting himself by the source of the wind}
Kleinlowe: As you pick up the newspaper, you notice the headline: "DOES MAGIC EXIST? New discoveries suggest..."
Kleinlowe: Quinch, in the lobby, you can see - but just barely - by the embers of the dying fire, Lecoto crouched by the fireplace and the swung-open door.
NyuBlackNeko: *is lonely... ; -- ; *
OnlyRealQuinch: {heads for the door and tries to close it}
Lecoto L: ::snickers, and rolls up the newspaper::
Kleinlowe: It swings open again once closed.
Kleinlowe: The newspaper burns easily, and quickly, perhaps destroying your best clue as to how you arrived here and the history of this strange, empty world.
Lecoto L: I didn't light it~
Kleinlowe: Ah, okay.
Kleinlowe: Nevermind, then. It's not destroyed.
OnlyRealQuinch: {sighs and looks for something to prop the door with so it wouldn't flap open like this}
Lecoto L: picks up a piece of firewood, and sticks an end in the embers::
Kleinlowe: The next paper below it reads 'Energy Crisis In Third Month; No End In Sight'
Kleinlowe: Big chairs, Quinch.
Kleinlowe: The firewood starts to catch after a few seconds in the hot embers.
Kleinlowe: Is everyone bored into idleness?
Lecoto L: ::pulls it out slowly and away from the newspaper::
OnlyRealQuinch: {takes one of the chairs, pulls it up to the door, closes the door and puts the chair against it. Not in the blocking backrest-against-the-know way, but simply letting its weight keep the door from opening}
OnlyRealQuinch: {knob}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu decides to walk down...she looks for the stairs...*
Kleinlowe: The door clatters against the chair, but does not swing open again. It's some pretty hefty furniture.... The room grows brighter as Lecoto lights his torch...
Kleinlowe: Nyu, the stairs are very dark, but you can barely see them from the reflected light of Lecoto's torch in the lobby.
OnlyRealQuinch: {sighs} "Okay, that's one problem solved... think you can relight that fire?"
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu holds onto the railing tight...climbing down very carefully*
Lecoto L: I don't want to...it didn't seem too safe
OnlyRealQuinch: "Why?
Lecoto L: smoke pouring into a room just doesn't seem too safe for me...
Lecoto L: we'll be able to read stuff in the morning, I think we should just eat and get to sleep
NyuBlackNeko: ((Did I reach the first floor? ^^;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: "But walking around in utter darkness does?"
Lecoto L: sleeping in utter darkness, on the other hand...
Kleinlowe: Nyu, you're in the kitchen. The light from lecoto's torch shines off of hanging pans and pots, but the room is otherwise pitch-dark.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Anyway, I don't feel like eating. As far as I'm concerned, you can have anything you want."
NyuBlackNeko: Lecoto-kun? Quinch-kun? Are you there? *Nyu shouts out as she's quiet ewhausted by climbing down the stairs*
OnlyRealQuinch: "Yeah, we're here. Can you find us?"
Kleinlowe: The pots clatter on their hooks.
OnlyRealQuinch: {he turns to Lecoto} "You might want to take the light to her. She might trip on something otherwise."
Lecoto L: Alright ::walks to the kitchen::
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu just waits there sitting*
Lecoto L: "Coming Nyu, be right there"
NyuBlackNeko: Thank you Lecoto-kun...
OnlyRealQuinch: {stands still in the darkness, listening intently}
Kleinlowe: The lobby bell chimes again.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu hears the sound* Did...you hear that?
NyuBlackNeko: Maybe it might just be me...but this place...doesn't seem that empty...as if someone is here...
OnlyRealQuinch: {lobby bell... the one on the counter?}
Kleinlowe: Yes.
Lecoto L: ::Lecoto nods as he gets into the kitchen:: Seems like it's not exactly empty...
Lecoto L: C'mon Nyu, we're going back upstairs.  Got a couple room keys, one's bound to work
OnlyRealQuinch: {moves as quietly as possible towards the counter}
Kleinlowe: It seems to be colder by the counter.... But it is across from the door.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu takes a deep breath* Alright...
OnlyRealQuinch: {keeps approaching the counter, getting more and more tense... as though he's ready to jump at any moment}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu starts to climb back the stairs*
Kleinlowe: You can see the bell reflecting the light of the glowing embers.
OnlyRealQuinch: {tries to move around, trying to make out if he can see anything reflected in the bell}
Lecoto L: ::follows Nyu up::
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu carefully walks up...she gets exhausted easily...as the medicine doesn't seem to get her still*
Kleinlowe: It gets darker as the torch-bearer heads up the stairs, Quinch, but you can't make out anything. Perhaps... a shadow... but nothing more.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu finally reaches the second floor...pretty much exhausted more than going down the stairs*
Lecoto L: ::pulls out the first room key and goes to the first room
OnlyRealQuinch: {swears silently and moves closer to where the shadow seemed to be}
Kleinlowe: What room is that, lecoto? And what floor?
Lecoto L: second floor, first room I come to...
Lecoto L: I grabbed the first four room keys for the second floor that I could see
Kleinlowe: The air seems colder, Quinch, even colder than outside. You find... you're looking at the empty key hook for room 34.
Kleinlowe: The door opens, but the window in that room is broken, and seems to have been for awhile. The carpet is moldy, the bed is ragged.
OnlyRealQuinch: {slowly reaches out and touches the empty keyhook with his index finger}
OnlyRealQuinch: {if it's of any importance, he's left-handed}
Kleinlowe: It's just an empty keyhook, one of five, now that Lecoto has taken the other keys.
NyuBlackNeko: *seeing the broken window...Nyu shakes her head* Maybe not that one...
OnlyRealQuinch: {frowns, and quickly looks behind himself}
Kleinlowe: The four, rather.
OnlyRealQuinch: {four or five then? Missing 34, +four that Lecoto took.}
Kleinlowe: Quinch: your chair still holds the door shut, and is doing a very good job of being big and heavy.
Kleinlowe: Correct, Quinch.
OnlyRealQuinch: {just checking}
OnlyRealQuinch: {reaches out and presses the bell himself}
Kleinlowe: It rings.
OnlyRealQuinch: "'sokay," he calls out. "Just me."
NyuBlackNeko: Atleast we could take a blanket from here...*Nyu points towards the bed*
Kleinlowe: The blanket is rather ragged and nasty.
*** You have been disconnected. Fri Jun 21 23:53:50 2002.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
Lecoto L: ((wb))
OnlyRealQuinch: Aaah!! The shadow took out GM!!
OnlyRealQuinch: Whoops, nevermind.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Welcome back...^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: Heh!
Kleinlowe: The next room you find is the standard economy room, Lecoto. The window is open, but that appears to be very recent...
Lecoto L: ::blinks, walks over to the window and attempts to close it with one hand::
Kleinlowe: There's even plastic-wrapped plastic cups and an ice tray ready for use on top of the TV. The window closes easily, leaving the room cold, but liviable.
NyuBlackNeko: This room doesn't look bad...*Nyu looks around*
NyuBlackNeko: Good enough to stay in! ((What number is this room? ^^; ))
Kleinlowe: There's a small brochure for the hotel on the foor at your feet, Nyu, apparently blown there by the breeze.
Kleinlowe: Uh... 27.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu picks up the brochure...*
NyuBlackNeko: *looking at it*
Lecoto L: ::smiles:: well, we'll stay here then
NyuBlackNeko: Alright!
Lecoto L: ::pulls back the blanket and looks at the bed quickly::
OnlyRealQuinch: {sighs and, for lack of anything better to do, takes the bell with him as he picks up a key of one of the 2nd floor rooms and heads upstairs}
Kleinlowe: Just your standard brochure. Emergency numbers, room service, and pretty photos of the rooms. Apparently, both the fourth-floor suites and the penthouse rooms have minibars, hottubs, and fireplaces.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Hottubs...@.@ ))
Kleinlowe: ((No water or power, Nyu. Sorry.))
NyuBlackNeko: ((; -- ; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {{maybe we can get Lecoto to manually run a generator ;)}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu reads through the brochure...seeing the pictures that once this hotel was...*
Lecoto L: ((yeah, I'll just find the fuse box and light it up! hehe...))
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: ((Go ahead and try... Be as creative as you want!)
Kleinlowe: I'm very open to your input on this one. Quinch, you find it awfuly dark, and might want to make your own torch.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu walks over to the bed...then sits on one end* Seems good enough...*then she looks around the room again...*
Lecoto L: Heh...well..., lecoto looks around for a lightbulb, or other light fixture::
Kleinlowe: There's a small lamp on the dressing table, and a wall-lamp above the bed. There's also a flourescent light on the ceiling.
OnlyRealQuinch: {as he starts trying to feel his way to the stairs, he realizes that he won't have a clue which room is the one he took the key to and heads towards the fireplace}
Lecoto L: ::walks to the lamp on the table, and unplugs it::
Kleinlowe: Nothing strange happens for the next fifteen minutes.
NyuBlackNeko: ((for the next 15 min? O.o;; ))
Kleinlowe: Feel free to have dinner and get yourselves tucked in and try not to freeze to death. Quinch, the laundry closet you were in also had extra blankets and bedclothes.
Kleinlowe: 15min IC time.
Kleinlowe: Hopefuly, that should be like five minutes RL time.
OnlyRealQuinch: {reaching the fireplace, Quinch crouches down and starts feeling for the lighter}
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: Quinch: The embers still glow. You find the lighter without incident.
Lecoto L: ::goes back out and grabs the cans, begins eating the refried beans::
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu decides to lie on the bed...as she seems tired...she snuggles in the blanket...still holding onto her own and the sweatshirt*
Lecoto L: ::eats hungrily::
Kleinlowe: If you decide to light the lamp magicaly, Lecoto, the bulb works.
OnlyRealQuinch: {takes a long, pointy log and cuts off a small piece of the carpet in front of the fireplace which he wraps around the log}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Wow...the bubl works! @__@ ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {all this by the light of the lighter}
NyuBlackNeko: *bulb
Kleinlowe: You take a peice of a throwrug, Quinch, rather than the synthetic carpet that smelled nasty when it caught before.
OnlyRealQuinch: {throwrug?}
OnlyRealQuinch: {feels stupid}
Kleinlowe: A smaller carpet under the funriture. Don't worry about it.
OnlyRealQuinch: {oh, righto}
OnlyRealQuinch: {lights the makeshift torch}
Lecoto L: ::grabs onto the lamp cord, and "turns it on"::
Lecoto L: ::shrugs and blows out the torch:: Quinch! bring up the lighter!
Kleinlowe: It works, Quinch, catching nicely and providing a good, flickering light, but the electric bulb from Room 27's open door shines brightly into the lobby.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu falls asleep soon*
OnlyRealQuinch: "Er... right, I'll be right there."
Lecoto L: ::steps just outside the door, holding the lamp out::
Kleinlowe: Quinch: you find your way upstairs without trouble, dammit.
OnlyRealQuinch: {takes a good, long look around the lobby before heading towards the stairs and upwards}
Kleinlowe: Okay, you just play out going to bed, I'll hop in when Stuff Starts Happening,
OnlyRealQuinch: "Here." {tosses the lighter to Lecoto and extinguishes his own torch}
NyuBlackNeko: *is already in bed...sleeping...@.@*
Lecoto L: ::Catches:: Thank you! Beans?
OnlyRealQuinch: {{PG almost has a cardiac arrest}}
Kleinlowe: Er?
NyuBlackNeko: ((Eh? O.o;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: "Pass. I'll go to sleep... my room is..." {holds up the key before him} "Er...right next to yours."
OnlyRealQuinch: {dogs jumped up and started chasing dust motes}
NyuBlackNeko: ((O.o;; ))
Lecoto L: I'll take the floor in Nyu's room, I'll be fine.
OnlyRealQuinch: {nods} "Right. See you in the morning then."
OnlyRealQuinch: {unlocks and opens the door to his room}
Lecoto L: Night! ::walks back into Nyu's room and carefully takes his sweatshirt back
Kleinlowe: Quinch: Your room is the same as Nyu & Lecotos, same window situation, too.
OnlyRealQuinch: {apart from taking the blanket, he ignores the bed altogether and settles himself into a corner facing the door, taking out his sword and holding it across his lap, with the other hand wrapping the blanket around him}
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
Lecoto L: ::puts the sweatshirt back on, pulls the hood on tight, and sets the lamp on top of the newspaper.
OnlyRealQuinch: {closes his eyes, and doesn't move... one can only guess if he's sleeping}
Lecoto L: Leans against the wall and goes to sleep::
Kleinlowe: Quinch, you notice the unfinished green-beans in the hallway, still, should you be hungry. Tell me if you really are asleep.
OnlyRealQuinch: {as asleep as he gets... it's more like switching off than sleeping. Doesn't dream, really easy to wake}
Kleinlowe: Okay...
NyuBlackNeko: ((Can't be normal eh? ^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: Time passes. 3am. Quinch - it's hard to get to sleep or even 'off' with the television on... Its light and noise - it sounds like the news - begin to roust you. However, when you're fully awake, you realise it's off, and dust covers its controls.
OnlyRealQuinch: (Link: http://free-zg.hinet.hr/Quinch/Bassic-Shelleyrae.mp3)A little music 
OnlyRealQuinch: {to fit the atmosphere}
Kleinlowe: Did you get my 3am post?
NyuBlackNeko: ((*cannot dare downloading because it's not her own computer* Sorry...^^;; ))
OnlyRealQuinch: Which one?
Kleinlowe: Time passes. 3am. Quinch - it's hard to get to sleep or even 'off' with the television on... Its light and noise - it sounds like the news - begin to roust you. 
Kleinlowe: However, when you're fully awake, you realise it's off, and dust covers its controls.
Lecoto L: hehe...creepy...
Kleinlowe: Relaxing, nice. I like this Quinch, thanks.
OnlyRealQuinch: {peers suspiciously at the TV, then goes back to sleep}
Lecoto L: ((music rocks!!))
NyuBlackNeko: ((o.o;; ))
Kleinlowe: As soon as your eyes are closed again, as soon as you start to slip back out of coinciousness, Quinch, you start to hear the television again.
OnlyRealQuinch: {eyes snap open}
Kleinlowe: Again, nothing, but the silent, empty room.
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks around the room, and then pulls the blanket closer, falling back to sleep}
Kleinlowe: Footsteps cross the floor of the room above yours. All three.
Kleinlowe: If you wake up... they stop. If not... You sleep untill...
Kleinlowe: 6am: The rosy-fingered dawn lights up the abandoned city, reflecting off the windows of abandoned buildings, filling the empty streets with its warm, clear light. 
NyuBlackNeko: ((So Nyu and Lecoto can't hear this? ))
OnlyRealQuinch: {this time, Quinch doesn't wake... instead, he tries to keep himself on that edge between sleeping and wakefulness...}
Kleinlowe: It stopped snowing during the night, but, as usual, very little accumulated on the cold, frozen ground.
Kleinlowe: Any heat from the fire dissipated during the night, leaving the rooms very cold indeed.
OnlyRealQuinch: {as soon as the first light breaks through the windows, Quinch wakes and gets up, sheathing the sword and leaving the blanket crumpled in the corner}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu sneezes in her sleep...tucking herself in the blanket tighter*
Kleinlowe: The bell in the lobby rings once.
OnlyRealQuinch: {strides out of the room and looks down at the lobby}
Kleinlowe: The bell is back where it was on the desk, Quinch, missing from wherever you left it.
OnlyRealQuinch: {pats his pocket}
Lecoto L: ::wakes up and yawns::
OnlyRealQuinch: {breaks the multiverse's record in deep frowning}
Lecoto L: ((snickers))
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu also wakes up...yawning...but feeling better...her fever down*
Kleinlowe: The can of green beans is where you left it, undisturbed.
Lecoto L: ::lifts up the lamp, and attempts to read the paper he saved::
OnlyRealQuinch: {literally charges down the stairs and to the counter, picking the bell}
OnlyRealQuinch: {examines it... closely}
Kleinlowe: The paper goes into detail about a new source of power, drawn from the life-force of people.
Kleinlowe: The bell... is just a bell.
NyuBlackNeko: Looking at the paper...Nyu then remembers the letter she put in her pocket previously...*
Lecoto L: ::shudders at the thought, then realizes how he's lighting the lamp::
Kleinlowe: It talks about this discovery offering releif from a power crisis alluded to in the rest of the paper.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu decides to read the letter later...then she greets Lecoto with a smile* Good morning Lecoto-kun!
OnlyRealQuinch: {lets out a frustrated sigh and heads to Nyu and Lecoto, tossing the bell over his shoulder onto the counter. Unfortunately, he misses and it falls behind it}
Lecoto L: ::tries to find a description of how it works::
Kleinlowe: There's very little details, but mentions the name of the labtatory that's the return address of the letter Nyu has.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu also greets Quinch as he comes to the room* Good morning to you too Quinch-kun...
OnlyRealQuinch: {gives Nyu a blank look} Why? Did you manage to find something good about it?
NyuBlackNeko: Eh...umm...*Nyu loses words...not knowing what to say back...*
Lecoto L: What happened to that letter?
NyuBlackNeko: The letter?
NyuBlackNeko: Oh! That!
NyuBlackNeko: It's in my pocket...I tried to read it...never had the time...*Nyu shuffles around in her pocket...and draws out a little croumpled letter*
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks closer} "What's that?"
Lecoto L: remember that letter? wasn't it addressed to this guy? ::point to the name::
Kleinlowe: Quinch: one thing you noticed is that a pile of twigs, feathers and debris was in the fireplace: whatever had been clogging it seems to have fallen through.
Kleinlowe: No, the Dr. at the hotel is not in the letter.
Kleinlowe: Er, the paper.
OnlyRealQuinch: {reads over Lecoto's shoulder}
Kleinlowe: THe letter is from Starr Labs, which is mentioned as a leader in the effort in harnessing the new source of power.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu blinks at the letter...* Should I open it?
Lecoto L: yeah, I think you should...
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at Nyu} I doubt anyone will mind.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu nods...then opens the letter carefully*
Kleinlowe: It's a formal letter, and rather threatening in tone. It seems the good doctor was fired from the labs, but took some of the equipment when he left.
Kleinlowe: THe letter threatens legal action should it not be returned.
OnlyRealQuinch: {does it mention what kind of equipment?}
Kleinlowe: Thumatic Accumulator system (protoytpe), and other big, big words.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu does not understand the letter well...too much big words for her...@__@;; *
OnlyRealQuinch: "....magic...."
Lecoto L: heh...
Kleinlowe: Ding!
OnlyRealQuinch: "Lecoto, could you give that paper?"
OnlyRealQuinch: "wh-?"
Lecoto L: what?
Kleinlowe: That was the sound of the bell ringing.
NyuBlackNeko: Eh...?
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks out the room and looks down at the lobby again}
Kleinlowe: The bell... is on the counter. Right where it first was.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu blinks...not getting well of what is going on...*
OnlyRealQuinch: {groans}
Lecoto L: Haunted...
NyuBlackNeko: Haunted?
OnlyRealQuinch: {walks down, takes the bell, then proceeds to disassemble it}
OnlyRealQuinch: {not violently, mind you}
NyuBlackNeko: *by the word...she thinks back at what she has seen and heard...making perfect sense*
OnlyRealQuinch: {the sword, awrkward though it may be, can double as a crude screwdriver}
Kleinlowe: It's just a bell, Quinch. You find it's made of four parts: the button, the bell, the hammer, and the base. Just like every other bell.
OnlyRealQuinch: {takes the parts, separately, then goes back up into Lecoto and Nyu's room, leaving the parts on the floor}
OnlyRealQuinch: "Now, where were we?"
NyuBlackNeko: The letter...*Nyu hands the letter to Quinch* And...do you think this place is...haunted?
Lecoto L: Seems like it to me...
OnlyRealQuinch: "Looks like it."
OnlyRealQuinch: "What's it got to do with us, though?"
Lecoto L: Well, I dunno really...
Kleinlowe: Ding!
NyuBlackNeko: Did you...hear that also?
OnlyRealQuinch: {eyes snap to the place where he left the pieces of the bell}
Kleinlowe: Again - on the desk. In one peice.
Lecoto L: ::blinks, then walks to behind the counter::
OnlyRealQuinch: {leaning on the railing above the lobby}
OnlyRealQuinch: "I don't care!"
Kleinlowe: You head down the stairs and through the kitchen, Lecoto, noting that the flue seems to be cleared, and it's very, very cold. The chair is where Quinch left it, and the bell is in place.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu also walks out...looking down...* What is going on?
OnlyRealQuinch: "You can ding all you effing well want, I! Don't! Care!
Lecoto L: ::stands behind the counter::
OnlyRealQuinch: "So knock it off already!"
Kleinlowe: Nothing unusual, but the six missing keys.
OnlyRealQuinch: {stomps back into the room and sets to examining the paper}
Lecoto L: Stares at the bell::
Lecoto L: ((er, is the bell on the counter?))
Kleinlowe: Yes, Lecoto.
Kleinlowe: Quinch: Hey, the comics are pretty funny.
OnlyRealQuinch: ???
OnlyRealQuinch: Suburbia?
Kleinlowe: Quinch: In the paper. But you're probably more intrested in how every story seems to revolve around the power crisis...
OnlyRealQuinch: {is more interested in the bit he saw that mentioned magic; the only part that seems to directly relate to the letter}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu then looks at one side of the hall...wondering if there is another stair to lead to the 3rd floor...*
NyuBlackNeko: ((Nyu is still in the 2nd floor...^^; ))
Kleinlowe:  The only mention of magic is in that article, where Starr Labs was working on a solution.
OnlyRealQuinch: {grabs the letter and looks for the Starr Labs address}
Kleinlowe: The address is not any city you've heard of, and judging by the zip code diffrences between it and the recipient address, quite a bit away.
OnlyRealQuinch: {tries to draw a connection between it and the "life-energy" power source that's mentioned in the newspaper}
NyuBlackNeko: ((wait...is it bright inside the hotel? ))
Kleinlowe: Nyu: The stairs leading to the second floor also go to the forth and fifth. It's very bright. There are lots of windows.
Kleinlowe: And third, too.
Kleinlowe: Quinch: a hand gently pushes the paper down.
NyuBlackNeko: Hmm...*Nyu walks close to the stairs...wonder if it's climbable...*
Lecoto L: ::gives up staring at the bell::
Kleinlowe: The stairs are quite climbable.
OnlyRealQuinch: {grabs at the hand}
Kleinlowe: Lecoto, the bell rings again.
Kleinlowe: As soon as you look away.
Kleinlowe: Quinch: it's like looking into a mirror.
Lecoto L: ::Without looking back:: Yes? can I help you?
Kleinlowe: It's YOU, but wearing a white labcoat, with an ID tag.
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at the figure suspiciously} "Who are you?"
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu tries for the stairs...walking up the stairs*
OnlyRealQuinch: {tries to read the ID tag}
Kleinlowe: Lecoto: a hand reaches out and gently turns you to look at its owner. It's like looking in a mirror... only wearinhg a belhop's uniform.
Kleinlowe: Quinch: It's the name on the letter. The figure fades away.
Lecoto L: ::blinks, and tries not to jump
Kleinlowe: Nyu: When you open the 3rd-floor door, a figure confronts you. It's like, you guessed it, a mirror, but with a jacket and slacks on...
Kleinlowe: Lecoto: the figure stares at you with percing eyes... then fades way.
Kleinlowe: Same with you, Nyu.
NyuBlackNeko: Wha...*Nyu looks at it in disbelief...*
Lecoto L: ::tries to find something to say, can't::
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at the letter, then at the paper, then the door, then picks up both the papers and walks out into the lobby}
Kleinlowe: All three figures are now gone. A few birds chirp outside the hotel.
Lecoto L: well...
OnlyRealQuinch: {descends down the stairs} "What is it?"
Lecoto L: I just saw myself...in uniform...
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu wonders what it was...then looks to the side if she might find the figure again*
OnlyRealQuinch: "Lemme guess; a lab coat."
Kleinlowe: Nobody's there, Nyu. Just a dusty old hallway.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu then starts walking the hallway...just incase if she could find something helpful...*
Lecoto L: Nope, bellhop...
OnlyRealQuinch: {shrugs} "Right."
Kleinlowe: The only thing unsual is an old 'Do Not Disturb' sign on Room 34's knob.
OnlyRealQuinch: {hands Lecoto the papers} "'scuse me, I'll just go check something."
Lecoto L: ok...::carefully takes the paper and folds it back up::
OnlyRealQuinch: {taking a brief glance at the key rack, just to make sure the #34 key didn't miraculously appear back on its hook, strides up the stairs toward the room number 34}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks at the sign...then at the number...seeing that it's the one that had the missing key...she wonders if it's open...she turns the knob*
Kleinlowe: Locked, Nyu.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Dang...-.- ))
Lecoto L: ::Picks the lamp and follows Quinch::
NyuBlackNeko: ((Oh well...))
Kleinlowe: Why the lamp, Lecoto?
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu sighs...looking around once more for anything else unusual*
Kleinlowe: Nope, nothing else.
OnlyRealQuinch: {reaches the #34 to see Nyu already there}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks over to Quinch* The door is locked...
OnlyRealQuinch: {tries the lock} So it is.
Lecoto L: ((because I can)) Lemme try...
Lecoto L: ::knocks::
Kleinlowe: As soon as the knocking stops, a small metal object falls onto the ground.
Kleinlowe: Er, the floor.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu hears the sound* something fell inside there?
Kleinlowe: Right behind you, actualy.
Lecoto L: ::turns around::
NyuBlackNeko: ((Oh...okie...^^;; ))
NyuBlackNeko: *also turns around*
Kleinlowe: It's the key to 34. It gleams, untarnished.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Riiiight... knock, and you'll be given a key."
OnlyRealQuinch: {snorts}
NyuBlackNeko: ((Har har? -.-;; ))
Lecoto L: ::snickers and picks it up::
Kleinlowe: Hey, it's better than 'Speak freind and enter'. It's not like I'm planning this.
Lecoto L: hehe...
NyuBlackNeko: What a conicidence...
OnlyRealQuinch: {larf}
Kleinlowe: They key is warm, like someone else was just holding it.
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
Lecoto L: ::key in lock:: ((open Saysme!))
OnlyRealQuinch: {you're doing pretty good then. Really good, actually.}
NyuBlackNeko: ((*nods* I agree!!!))
Kleinlowe: The lock turns, and the door slowly opens to blackness.
Lecoto L: ::hand on electric cord for lamp, walks in::
NyuBlackNeko: *walks after*
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks around, then follows}
Kleinlowe: The room seems to eat the light from the lamp, but a soft glow begins as you three enter. The hallway into the room seems distorted, warped, elongated - longer than the hotel.
Lecoto L: ::begins looking around the room for abnormal hotel room items::
NyuBlackNeko: A hallway? Isn't this supposed to be a...room?
OnlyRealQuinch: {pulls out a small pouch from his pocket, pulls out a tiny sapphire and tosses it down the hallway}
Kleinlowe: You're not in the room, yet. You're in the little foyer bit leading to the room. In the distance, you can make out the room proper, glowing.
OnlyRealQuinch: {ah. okay}
Kleinlowe: It bounces down the hall like it was a normal, if very long, hall.
Lecoto L: ::walks down the hallway::
Lecoto L: creepy...very creepy...
NyuBlackNeko: Wait! Don't move so sudden! *follows along*
Kleinlowe: As you approach, you notice that the room is filled with computers, equipment, electronics - no bed or table.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Space distortion?" he mutters as he follows Lecoto.  "I didn't think they tended to do this sort of thing in hotel rooms."
Kleinlowe: The hallway seems to grow... newer... cleaner... less dusty as you walk down it.
OnlyRealQuinch: {starts examining the machinery}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks at a computer* Wow...((is it on? ))
Kleinlowe: In the room proper, which is bathed in a strange green light, three figures stand; your doppelgangers from earlier.
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at his copy}
Kleinlowe: They seem frozen in time; the Nyu-double and the Lecoto-double seem to be trying to restrain the QUinch-double, who has his hand on the enter-key of a keyboard.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu steps back a little* That...was...*pointing at her copy*
Lecoto L: ::looks at the keyboard, then at the screen::
OnlyRealQuinch: {approaches slowly}
NyuBlackNeko: *wonders what it means...and what is going on*
OnlyRealQuinch: {waves his hand in front of the copies' faces}
Kleinlowe: The screen shows equations and readings of numbers, and one word- ACTIVE.
Kleinlowe: Like mannequins, they stand.
*** You have been disconnected. Sat Jun 22 01:29:55 2002.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
NyuBlackNeko: ((^^;; ))
Kleinlowe:  Like mannequins, they stand, still, frozen in the strange green light of the room.
Lecoto L: ((wb))
OnlyRealQuinch: NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu also walks slowly towards her copy...observing closely*OnlyRealQuinch: {tries to move his deegee's hand away from the keyboard}
OnlyRealQuinch: {that's where you god disconnected, I think}
Kleinlowe: The hand is moved, with some difficulty, off the keyboard. The return key springs back up, but very slowly, like it was moving through molases.
Lecoto L: ::watches the screen::
OnlyRealQuinch: {bends down and disconnects the keyboard, just in case}
Kleinlowe: The key board wire seems very, very heavy, hard to move.
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu also watches the screen...a bit worried if something might happen removing the hand from the keyboard...*
Kleinlowe: The word 'active' is flashing, but very slowly.
OnlyRealQuinch: {gives up and looks at the screen with the others}
Lecoto L: Leave the keyboard...maybe we can turn it off?
NyuBlackNeko: But...about these...copies...what are they? *Nyu slowly touches the hand of her copy*
Kleinlowe: The date on the screen is the same as the cancelation date on the envelope.
OnlyRealQuinch: "Maybe we should see what it all leads to?"
Lecoto L: well, what do you suggest, unplugging everything in the room?
OnlyRealQuinch: "No..."
OnlyRealQuinch: "Not yet, anyway."
Kleinlowe: There's a suggestively thick cable leading out the window to a micro-satellite dish.
Lecoto L: ::follows it, looking at it::
Kleinlowe: Outside, past the dish, for perhaps a three-meter radius... there's nothing but black.
OnlyRealQuinch: {draws out his sword and carefully thrusts it into the blackness}
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu just looks in the back...*
Kleinlowe: It feels like sticking it into thick, thick gel. Hard to push in, hard to pull out.
Lecoto L: yeah...we wanna shut that off...I don't like that...
Kleinlowe: WHen it comes out... it's tarnished, as if it had been unkept for a year.
OnlyRealQuinch: {frowns} 
OnlyRealQuinch: "Space distortions...", he mutters. "*Time* distortions. bits are starting to fall into place, but what's the picture gonna be..."
NyuBlackNeko: Eh...*Nyu has no idea what is going on* ((*and same for PG* @__@;; ))
Lecoto L: ::goes back and looks on the computer screen::
OnlyRealQuinch: {turns his attention back to the computer, under it and following the power cables}
Kleinlowe: There are several screens. One is a satelite uplink data, showing information on the location of satelites... Unlike everything else, it seems to be moving in realtime,
Lecoto L: ::looks for a shutdown command::
OnlyRealQuinch: "Try hitting escape; see if it does anything."
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks for a hard reset button on the computer}
Lecoto L: ::tries ESC
Kleinlowe: Which computer, Lecoto?
Lecoto L: I'd just try shutting off the programs first...::sattelite displays::
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu looks around...looking at some machines*
Kleinlowe: The keyboard on this one is slow like everything else; it takes nearly a minute to push down.
Kleinlowe: A minute later, the satelite screen goes blank.
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks at the satellite dish}
Lecoto L: ::grimaces:: I hope that was the shutoff command...
Kleinlowe: Noises start to grow louder from outside the window... It sounds like - summer.
Kleinlowe: Car engines. Children playing... people talking in the cafe across the street.
NyuBlackNeko: Eh? *Nyu's ears perk up by the sounds*
NyuBlackNeko: Do you...hear it?
OnlyRealQuinch: {looks out the window}
Lecoto L: ::looks out also:
Kleinlowe: The blackness seems to suggest motion, seems to start fading. From behind you, you hear yelling. Quinch's voice: "... WILL WORK!
NyuBlackNeko: *Nyu jumps back by the voice* Eh?
OnlyRealQuinch: {spins around, arm drawing back, and lands a solid punch in his doppelganger's face}
NyuBlackNeko: ((O__o;; ))
Kleinlowe: The figures have become animated, and the other Nyu and other Lecoto are wrestling the other Quinch away from the control.
Kleinlowe: The other Quinch goes reeling, and falls unconcious on the bed.
Lecoto L: O.O
NyuBlackNeko: Eh...eh...*Nyu watches her copy moving...*
Kleinlowe: The hallway seems to collapse, and the doubles stare at Nyu and Lecoto in disbelief.
OnlyRealQuinch: {shakes his hand, trying to shake out the pain}
NyuBlackNeko: Why...eh...you can see me? *Nyu asks her copy*
NyuBlackNeko: ((Hallway collapses...does that mean we are trapped? ))
Lecoto L: ::blinks:: Um...hi?
Kleinlowe: The other Nyu nods. The world outside the window and the open hotel door seem normal; a warm summer breeze blows through the room from the open window.
OnlyRealQuinch: {folds his arms across his chest}
Kleinlowe: The other Lecoto returns his duplicate's tenative greeting - then the world itself starts to fade, becoming fuzzy and transparent.
NyuBlackNeko: How...is this possible? *Nyu holds her hand out...carefully...trying to touch her copy's hand*
Lecoto L: Is everything ok?
Kleinlowe: Nyu's hand goes through her doubles, and the sounds become muted...
OnlyRealQuinch: "No idea."
Kleinlowe: In a few seconds, you're back to Normality, wherver that is.
Kleinlowe: Probably the Dream. Or the chatroom.

NyuBlackNeko: ((Welcome back...^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: The End.
Kleinlowe: What did everyone think of that?
OnlyRealQuinch: Weird.
NyuBlackNeko: ((Amazing job!!! *claps* ))
NyuBlackNeko: ((It was mysterious...@.@ ))
OnlyRealQuinch: I concur.
Kleinlowe: Okay, you three: Tell me what YOU think happened.
OnlyRealQuinch: {applauds also}
Lecoto L: I think...er...
OnlyRealQuinch: {cricks his knuckles}
Lecoto L: oh yeah! ((claps))
NyuBlackNeko: ((We were...in some computer game? ^^;; ))
Kleinlowe: No.
NyuBlackNeko: ((*has no idea* @__@;; ))
Lecoto L: someone tried to tap something they shouldn't have for power, and it distorted reality
Kleinlowe: Yes, lecoto.
Kleinlowe: Exactly.
OnlyRealQuinch: Time split into two streams.
OnlyRealQuinch: One that proceeded normally, and another that froze itself within it.
NyuBlackNeko: ((I'm dumb...o__o;; ))
Kleinlowe: Mmhm.
Kleinlowe: Er, no, Nyu.
Lecoto L: ((I'm not sure I understand it fully myself))
Kleinlowe: You just aren't scifi junkies.
Kleinlowe: I didn't want you all to completely understand it. I wanted that kind of X-files-y 'What REALLY happened?' feel to it.
OnlyRealQuinch: Not sure where we fit in, though. Perhaps it is us in a parallel universe, and the array punched a corridor between them and us, drawing us in.
NyuBlackNeko: @__@;;
OnlyRealQuinch: The reason only the three of us were drawn because we were the closest to the array.
OnlyRealQuinch: I can't make the bell fit in anywhere, though.
Lecoto L: it was a bell...
Lecoto L: attention
Lecoto L: cooooooool....
NyuBlackNeko: ^^;;
Kleinlowe: The three nearest the array persisted in the non-frozen timestream.
Kleinlowe: But as pure lifeforce.
OnlyRealQuinch: I.e. ghosts?
Kleinlowe: Right.
OnlyRealQuinch: Hmm...
NyuBlackNeko: Was fun!!! Very entertaining...^^
OnlyRealQuinch: Yep.
Lecoto L: incredibly so, in my opionin
OnlyRealQuinch: Can't believe you were winging the whole thing.
Kleinlowe: Yeah.
Lecoto L: ::blinks:: no way
Kleinlowe: I just made that bad boy up as you did it.
NyuBlackNeko: *nods* How did you think of all this...so shortly?
Kleinlowe: I watch too much sci-fi.
OnlyRealQuinch: blaughes}
Lecoto L: hehehee! here's to sdci-fi!
NyuBlackNeko: ^^;;
Lecoto L: sci-fi*
OnlyRealQuinch: {raises a glass of OJ} And to the freaks it creates!
Lecoto L: ::raises similar glass! :: hear hear!
Kleinlowe: So you all enjoyed that?
Lecoto L: very much so
OnlyRealQuinch: Jeri, it's nine 'clock in the morning. That an answer enough?
NyuBlackNeko: O__o;;
NyuBlackNeko: Sure went long...@_@
Kleinlowe: *chuckles* Sorry, Quinch, I had no idea it would go so slow.
OnlyRealQuinch: {laughes} 'sokay.
NyuBlackNeko: We did kind of drag a little...^^;
Lecoto L: It's amazing how so little planning can fill up time when RPing
Kleinlowe: I know. It makes me wonder why anyone needs those volumes of rules, anyway.
OnlyRealQuinch: For bad RPers, I guess.
Lecoto L: eh...
NyuBlackNeko: ^6;
OnlyRealQuinch: Or at least those who think they can't go on without clear-cut rules.
NyuBlackNeko: *^^;
OnlyRealQuinch: Okay.... I'm outta here... the pillow is calling...
OnlyRealQuinch: "Talk to me.... talk to meee...."
Kleinlowe: Sleep well!
NyuBlackNeko: ^^;;
NyuBlackNeko: Good night!
OnlyRealQuinch: G'nite.
OnlyRealQuinch: And thanks.... everyone. This was great.
Kleinlowe: Hehe.
Lecoto L: Night!
Kleinlowe: I was afraid I was boring you all to death.
NyuBlackNeko: It was! Very fun...sleep good! ^^;
Lecoto L: not in the slightest
NyuBlackNeko: Nope...not once...
OnlyRealQuinch: Nah.... the moment someone bores me, I let them know by leaving.
Kleinlowe: Ah, cool
OnlyRealQuinch: Cheers.
*** OnlyRealQuinch has left the chat.
NyuBlackNeko: How long have we been rping?
Lecoto L: since...(?
Lecoto L: 9?
Kleinlowe: Five hours, at least.
NyuBlackNeko: Wow...O.o;
Lecoto L: yeah, five by my count
Kleinlowe: Did you enjoy it, Nyu? I'm sorry about being so confuzing.
NyuBlackNeko: *nods nods* I get confused easily...but still was fun!!! @.@
Kleinlowe: Well, did you understand now that Quinch explained it?
NyuBlackNeko: Kinda...@.@;;;;
Kleinlowe: Okay: The other Quinch was a scientist on a world where they were running out of power.
NyuBlackNeko: Is it just a conincidence that they look like us?
Kleinlowe: No, you were pulled into the universe beacuse they're your doubles.
NyuBlackNeko: Oh...okie...o.o
Lecoto L: ::nods:: tweaky...
Kleinlowe: WHat was the best bits / worst bits?
NyuBlackNeko: Then...why the time stoppped again? 
NyuBlackNeko: Eh? Hmm...all of them were good...o.o
Lecoto L: I liked the whole problem with the light and food
NyuBlackNeko: *nods*
NyuBlackNeko: The jokes in between were fun also... X3
Kleinlowe: Beacuse his ideas were flawed; the tapping of energy caused some kind of distortion where two time-streams developed; one was stuck in time, the other, with no living person in it, proceeded.
Kleinlowe: When you turned off the computer, you stopped the effect that was slowing/stopping the alternate stream.
Lecoto L: ::nods:: and the entire idea behind the story behind it was just cool.
NyuBlackNeko: Then...the time inside the lab was stopped...
Kleinlowe: Room 34, yeah, it was slowed.
NyuBlackNeko: but the outside was still going?
NyuBlackNeko: Oh...okie...
Kleinlowe: There were two outsides.
NyuBlackNeko: Ah...
Kleinlowe: One outside was stopped, one outside kept going.
NyuBlackNeko: What was the pointing towards the fireplace by the figure with the white lab coat?
Kleinlowe: THe idea of tapping life-force, Lecoto?
Kleinlowe: THat was Quinch's double.
Lecoto L: ::yeah::
NyuBlackNeko: No no...eh...why pointing the fireplace? ^^;
Kleinlowe: Oh, beacuse he didn't want you all dying in a fire.
NyuBlackNeko: O.o;;;
NyuBlackNeko: We could have died? @__@;;
Kleinlowe: The ghosts were good ghosts, you see, trying to get you to Room 34 to correct the error.
Kleinlowe: Yeah.
Kleinlowe: That's why they made the spider appear, to keep Lecoto from eating the weenies.
NyuBlackNeko: Ah...I get it...okie...
Lecoto L: ::shudders::
NyuBlackNeko: ^^;;
Kleinlowe: Hehe. Like that part, Lecoto?
Lecoto L: frightening...but brilliant
NyuBlackNeko: *sighs* Well...that was fun...hope another will come up someday... ;3
Kleinlowe: I'm glad you all enjoyed it!
NyuBlackNeko: *nods* Very fun!!
Lecoto L: Yup, thanks again
Kleinlowe: Any suggestions for the future?
NyuBlackNeko: Not really...all of great! @__@
Lecoto L: erm...uuuh...
Lecoto L: no clue
NyuBlackNeko: Heh...I remember when I tried to do GM...it's a pretty hard job...^^;
Kleinlowe: *chuckle*
NyuBlackNeko: Especially when everyone starts going in different directions...@.@;;
Kleinlowe: It was pretty easy to just kinda let you all write it.
Lecoto L: yeah...I just design things once I have an idea handed to me.  I can't come up with the idea or run it
NyuBlackNeko: Hmm...I've been on too long...gotta go...bye! and thank you!!! ^^
NyuBlackNeko: *waves* ^^
*** NyuBlackNeko has left the chat.
Lecoto L: well, later then?
Kleinlowe: Hmm.
Kleinlowe: I'd like a little more feedback, actualy.
Lecoto L: what on? Do what I can...
Lecoto L: I'm better at picking at particulars
Kleinlowe: Umm... What stood out to you as the best, most enjoyable part?
Lecoto L: well, when I realized that we were going to have to do more than just survive,
Lecoto L: when things started moving...and the whole tarantula thing
Kleinlowe: When did you realize that?
Lecoto L: ummm...well, after the bell went off a couple times.
Lecoto L: The subtle hints, like windows and whispering were really cool
Kleinlowe: Was I being to annoying about insiting that you folks eat realisticly and get light and heat realisitcly?
Lecoto L: no, that was another little thing that made it really good, IMHO
Kleinlowe: Cool.
Kleinlowe: Any suggestions for a next time?
Lecoto L: The fact that it was kept semi real, at the same time having to solve the overall problem...
Lecoto L: not really.  I'm not good at coming up wiht that kind of thing..
Kleinlowe: Ah, okay. What would have made it better?
Lecoto L: hmmm...
Lecoto L: it did seem a bit slow at times, but that could have been our half attenioned RPing
Lecoto L: if I had to pick out anything...
Kleinlowe: *listens attentively*
Lecoto L: ::snickers:: sorry, that's all.
Kleinlowe: Ah,
Kleinlowe: Was the ending okay?
Lecoto L: a bit sudden, but it worked
Kleinlowe: I can't write NPCs to save my ass, so...
Lecoto L: hehe...That was a quite inventive way to solve the problem
Kleinlowe: It was either that or have YOU write your dopplegangers.
Lecoto L: heh!
Lecoto L: night, I disappear now
