Silence draws his pistol and looks through one of the windows at the chef and the blob, with no other options he fires at the blob first.

Silence shoots at the blob. His shot is perfectly aimed and passes completely through the transparent blob, leaving a scorched mark on the floor. The blob ignores the laser blast, continuing to move toward the crawling Chef.

"Hergy gonna bi gitten yuus." Chef yells.

TESLAA sees the delirious, or perhaps just stupid, Chef Boyye crawling towards her with the cleaver in hand. She was very tempted to blast his badly injured but still violent citizen right in his horrendous mustache but he might have answers. She sighed, "Oh frak me..." and swiftly kicked (1+VIOLENCE+Melee) 5,2,5,6,5 the ceaver out of his meaty hands. Teslaa then grabs the unpleasant individual by his lapels and attempts to drag him away from the slug. (1+VIOLENCE+Athletics) 6,2,3,4,2

The cleaver goes flying, landing near an overturned table. Grabbing the Chef is less successful, especially when the chef struggles and begins swatting at Teslaa. Worse of all is a familiar voice in Teslaa's head.

"-bing- Greetings, citizen. I have been informed of a fracas in your vicinity. As a loyal trouble shooter, are you part of this fracas?"

Tesla's face blanched as Friend Computer's voice rang in her head, No, Friend Computer! In fact I am just trying to settle this no doubt treasonous fracas from within! She replied to the psychotic dictator of Alpha Complex, giving the Chef a bit of a kick than attempting to drag him again (1+VIOLENCE+Melee) 5,5,5,6,1 And is very successful. She pulls the struggling chef away from the slug and towards whatever approaches a safe corner of the establishment. I believe this culinary citizen has information regarding the cause of the current disorder and have taken the initiative to question him. She added, holding her pistol to his head, "Right - I suggest you calm the Frak down before I turn your face into a Poll-O-ock art replacement, got it?" Teslaa reasons. (1+BRAINS+Psychology) 5,5,6,4,2,2

Silence squints at the blob, his brain already having taken a sanity dip from it.

''"Friend Computer please tell me you see this blob."

#32: Oct 4th 2015 at 7:33:13 PM

In Teslaa's head: "Citizen, I am very concerned. If you are not part of the fracas, how can you be doing anything about it? If you are not doing anything, why are you ignoring your duties by not shooting trouble when you find it? Have you tried the latest flavor of Bubbly Bouncy Beverage? Who is 'Yotsuba' and why did he order for a box of cigars to be delivered, using your cred stick? These are all important questions."

The slug moves toward Teslaa and the Chef, following and absorbing any blood left behind by the Chef.

In Silence's head: "-bing- I'm sorry, Friend Computer is currently busy talking with other citizens and all conversational nodes are full. Your message has been noted and will be responded to shortly. The current wait time for response is: Ninety-three years, six months, five hours, and twenty-three minutes. -bing-"

Silas groans and looks about. Wait. The wine!

"TESSLA GET READY TO RUN!" He shouts as he shoots at the spilled alcohol with his Light Amplified by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation hoping to ignite it.

"What do you think I've been trying to do, Silence!?" Teslaa shouted back, clearly in duress, "Hasn't really worked out so far!" She added, then responded to Friend Computer. I have tried to shoot the trouble and succeeded in the case of this Chef however I am attempting to get out of the fracas... She began, seeing the alug was trying to absorb the chefs' blood on the floor. Ew. i do not know who used my cred stick to order the cigars. She lied, hugging Yotsuba tighter but giving him a dirty look.

Teslaa address Boyye again, "Tell me what is going on and why that thing wants you now or I'll shove this pistol so far down your [WORD REDACTED] you'll be shitting charcoal for a week." She asked in her usual tact. (on train, Nodrog van roll)

Silence shoots at the spilled wine and misses. The grinding noise in the background is the GM's teeth, as he realizes random luck has prevented him from having you start a fire that will burn the restaurant down around you. Would you like to try shooting again?

Teslaa's mix of Violence and Charm are effective. The chef turns to look at the approaching blob and his eyebrows rise up high. "Oh nu!" he screams. "Zee-a feeder is cumeeng tu iet me-a! Sefe-a mi!" he clutches at you desperately as the clear slug moves closer to him.

He begins babbling out his part in the elaborate scheme that would result in    -redacted-    but unfortunately, between his high speed talking and bizarre accent, you can't make anything except the words 'That which will consume all' and what is either 'skewer' or 'sewer'.

The blob lashes out a translucent pseudopod, which wraps around the chef's leg. He screams in pain and terror, soiling himself in his fear.

Teslaa finds herself regretting her super sense of smell as she finds herself in a tug of war with the slug.

"Citizen, you have not yet answered all my questions. Have you tried the latest flavor of Bubbly Bouncy Beverage yet?"

"Really!?" Teslaa exclaimed, partly at the Chef and partly at Friend Computer's question. Yes, Friend Computer, I have tried the new Bouncy Bubble Beverage flavor. It was sufficiently refreshing and nutritious. Thank you. She replied, clearly straining to keep a civil tongue. Or maybe it was the tug-of-war for the soiled Chef. "You guys wanna quit gawking and, I don't know... HELP ME!" She shouted to the others, followed by very descriptive though unflattering words.

Nevertheless, Teslaa summoned what strength she had and pulled the Chef away from the tentacled slug with all her might. (1+ VIOLENCE + Athletics) 5,5,6,1,4

Friend Computer, what do you advise I do? Rocky had already escaped the restaurant, but he didn't think it was the wisest thing to do given that he can give almost any badass a run for his money.

Fenix watched as Rocky ran out of the restaurant. All he could do was raise an eyebrow at his friend's choice of action.

"Rocky, what the hell do you think you're doing? Shouldn't you be in there, helping? You're a much better fighter than me. If you want, I can try to get you a weapon."

He mentally prepared a spell to bring the cleaver to him if he decided to follow his friend back into the restaurant.

Silence curses all before deciding to run back in. He was weak compared to some of the others but hey a helping hand always worked.

"You two. Reds," he stated to the newcomers "Follow me we are getting those two out now! I will need extra hands and another person with a laser pistol."

Fenix gazed in shock at the Orange asking him to head back in size.

"Woah, woah, woah! I'm no good in a fistfight, sorry. I'm better with machines and supernatural stuff. My friend's the stronger one that can handle himself."

He waved his hands in front of him, shaking his head urgently.

Rocky makes a conceited grin, "Oh, so you weaklings can't even take care of yourselves can you?" He begins to hurry back to the restaurant, anticipating Fenix's support, "I guess I'll have to help you then!"

(Er, if I decide to do anything like fight, do I have to roll a dice or something?)

Fenix ran back inside after his friend. True to his word, he held out his hand toward the cleaver as soon as he saw it.

"Accio cleaver!"

Rocky sprang forward into action, grabbing the cleaver as it materialized out of thin air. He wielded it with the finesse of masters, and charged at the blob with the energy of berserkers. "I'll show you how to cook up a real gelatin!"

"Thank you, Citizen Teslaa. Your review of the new flavor of BBB has been added to my database. -bing-"

Teslaa manages, with a massive heave, to pull the Chef toward her. Unfortunately, this also pulls the blob along, who begins enveloping the chef's feet. He screams in pain.

"Oih mi stairs annen gortirs! Eh ah berns! Eh ah berns!"

"-bing-Citizen Rocky, why not try a refreshing new-flavored Bouncy Bubbly BeverageTM? 100% of senior trouble shooters surveyed found it sufficiently refreshing and nutritious -bing-"

Fenix has a moment of elation then knee-shakng terror as Fenix sees the bloody cleaver lift up and then fly, point first, straight at Fenix's head. Fortunately, Rocky grabs it out of the air before Fenix could find out why mentally summoning sharp, pointy objects is all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Rocky's ferocious stabbing frenzy with the knife completely misses the gelatin but does hit the chef several times. The chef is now at 25% health.

Fenix and Rocky both check and discover that they do have laser pistols, which they must have received sometime after being promoted to red clearance but before the mind-numbing drugs given to all infra-red clearance citizens had completely worn off.

Teslaa looked Rocky dead in the eye, "Stop . Helping." She glared, clearly regretting her decision to call for help but glad they hadn't hit her. Yet. Teslaa fires her pistol at the slug again. (1+VIOLENCE+Guns) 4,2,1,5,5

As she does this Teslaa yells to Silence, "Where did you get these chumps!? WOLF's clone batch rejects?" She snarled. Tesla was not a pleasant person when under duress and so many cycles of dealing with WOLF-R-WAG and his clones had eroded some of her underlying sunny disposition. The RED's probably shouldn't take it personally. Maybe.

Silence groaned, and then he remembered, a grin formed behind his trademark mask, of course this one bent it's own features to match, he looked over to the kitchen.

The alcohol plan could still work, it just needed a little fire. A small spark of the oven.

Hopefully.

Teslaa's laser blasts pass harmlessly through the translucent slug, not seeming to effect it at all. The slug moves higher up the chef's legs.

The chef grabs a table cloth, tugging on it. The contents of the table falls over onto the slug; including napkin holder, an unlit candle, pepper and salt shakers, and a bottle of ketchup.

Silence enters the kitchen. The other slugs have already vanished down the large sewer hole. Otherwise, the kitchen has what you'd expect in a standard restaurant kitchen.

The slug hisses in a high pitched tone and backs off from the chef.

The chef gives a large sigh of relief, just as Rocky opens fire.

Rocky fires at the chef and slug. Despite his enthusiastic firing, he only hits once. The one shot drills a hole through the chef's forehead. The chef falls back, dead.

Going into the kitchen, Silence sees the hole where the other slugs have already vanished, into the sewer. The kitchen has what you'd expect of a restaurant kitchen.

Teslaa felt a brief moment of victory as the slug recoiled from one of the table items, quickly dashed by Rocky's laser blast. She gave the RED troubleshooter a look that suggested she was considering vaporizing his head but unsure if she could bother with the subsequent paperwork. Teslaa stopped fantasizing and lunged for another table, grabbing the salt, pepper and ketchup - she throws them sequentially at the slug with enough pause between to see which has the desired effect. (1+VIOLENCE+Athletics) 2,2,5,6,2
