Roll To Dodge: I'm rather surprised to not find this here.

>Hopefully it's nothing. I put the pizzas in the fridge then get some sleep, having had my dinner.

Action: Inquire about other areas that connect to the "hub".

Eh... eheh... eheheh...

Er, I thank the voice for the help and ask if there's anything I could do to repay its kind gesture.

> Go down ze spiral slope.

>Trip: Decide that death is better then the horrible pain, and die horrifically.

>bRaHiAn1: Initiate dramatic entrance.

> ASCEND INTO THE REALM OF THE LIVING.

>That went well. But, wait! Can I still ride my bicycle?

"Hmmm... on second thought, I'll get the coffee later. What about the positioning?"

I bring up a full holo-map of the ship and check for how much is still there. Not bad, considering how old this thing is...

I read through the list. I also check for fine print, just in case.

I have everyone do a system diagnostics of all the ship's equipment including the cloning pods for when our bodies are destroyed.

foxmccloud 4387 – An after dinner nap – [3] After putting the leftover pizza into the fridge you decided to lay down and get some sleep. However, while you tried to get some rest you heard a few soft rumbling noises coming from the kitchen. It could have been nothing, but now was your chance to check it out while you were drifting off to sleep, otherwise you could always just ignore it.

NE Sgamer 190 – A little more information – [1] You prodded the friendly void people a little more about the hub world you were all in. However, as soon as one of them was about to speak up, the entire lobby started flashing red as a siren started to go off. The only thing you could hear over the loud warning was someone screaming: “It's starting again!”

Rivux – Something in return – [5] The voice told you that the only thing it desired in return was for you to use its gift well and to lead as fruitful of a life as possible. Oh, and also that you maybe fill out a survey card later so his boss knew he was doing a good job; that would be great.

Cathari Sarad – Down the not so slippery slope – [3] You started walking down the spiraling slope leading to the squid woman, making sure not to slip on any wet spots or the numerous amount of frogs that seemed to populate the little walkway. On your way down, the squid woman seemed to notice your presence as she made a gargling noise in your general direction in the middle of her song.

Trip – A fate worse than death – [5] Now that you had experienced a pain you thought outweighed that of death, you decided to die in the most horrific way possible. In the middle of the forest you suddenly blew up in a fiery explosion summoned from your own willpower, setting the entire forest on fire, save for your swamp that seemed pretty peaceful.

bRaHiAn1 – Dramatic entrance – [2] You planned your dramatic entrance on the scene to the letter, detailing how many seconds you would allow for each pose, and possibly an entrance speech for even more dramatic flair. Unfortunately, since you spent so much time planning, you missed your window for you dramatic entrance completely.

eldritchseer – Finally free – [6] You quickly decided to ascend the stairs, quick to welcome the world of the living once more after your torturous but honestly short imprisonment. However, you rose too quickly up the stairs, making yourself a little woozy as you reached the top step. Just short of the door to freedom, you stumbled in your lightheaded state, tumbling all the way back down the stares to the bottom.

thespacephantom – Hovercycle perhaps? - [3] You quickly hovered over to where your bike was and tried to lower yourself down to ride it, but it seemed you couldn't get low enough. You were stuck up where you were, and could barely rub the tip of your foot on your bicycle's seat, much less ride it again.

Omega Shadowcry – Status check on the ship – [4] After bringing up the holo-map you could thankfully see that everything was in order on your ship. Every room seemed to be in place, and the ship was actually in a state where it could function for the most part, save the empty supply closet that could use refilling.

Makuta 9999 – Read the fine print – [3] You read through the document as carefully as you could manage, or at least as far as your brain would let you. It was a fairly lengthy piece of paper, and packed with enough legalese to make a lawyer rethink their occupation. You skimmed a few bits, but you thought that you at least read all of the important bits. It looked like for the most part as soon as you signed below, you would have everything you once had and more, possibly.

Philosopher – A quick systems check – [6] After organizing your crew you had everyone do a systems check, and a little repair work didn't hurt either when they found a problem. However, something was a little off with the cloning pods. In the cloning bay it seemed something activated the cloning pods to start spitting out clones, but not complete ones. Half finished clones were filling up the cloning bay, all roaming about like infants comprised mostly of hard liquor.

>No... no! What is life if I cannot ride a bicycle? I tear off the amulet and shove it in my pocket, hoping that'll nullify the blasted thing's effects.

Sure hope that voice meant that rhetorically given the whole, uh...

Anyway, I tell the voice I'll happily oblige and proceed back down into the depths of the sea, hoping my body hasn't sunken too deep already.

> Swear and curse as I fall down the stairs, nobody told me!

>I search my room for something that could be a weapon and then enter slowly into the kitchen.

>Go over the info on the ship to refresh my memory while Mazoran finishes up the triangulation.

"Wonder if the databases had an update while I was away..."

> I try communicating to the squid woman again and ask who she is/what this place is.

Action: Take cover! The red siren is bad news! For all I know, it could be Malzahar that's coming by!

>Trip: Go to the afterlife, be it Heaven or Hell, lets rock!

>Attempt dramatic entrance during the next scene.

Get the cloning machine back in order.

thespacephantom – Off amulet, off I say! - [2] You quickly tried to tear the amulet from your neck, upset at the mere thought of not being able to ride your bicycle any longer. But try as you might, the amulet seemed firmly attached to its new place on your person, and it looked like as long as it was there you would be stuck in the air and out of your beloved bike's reach.

Rivux – Back into the sea – [6] You quickly dove through the air, lighter than a feather on a new fad diet but with the falling speed of an elephant condensed to the head of a pin. In fact, you may have dove through the air a little too quickly as you shot through the surface of the sea. You had control of your spectral form now, but it could take some time to get properly adjusted as you plunged into the depths, spotting something looking like a body as you sailed into a chasm.

eldritchseer – My bad about the stairs, bro – [5] You fell down the steps making enough noise to wake the dead, but luckily they were already all awake down here and for the most part on the other side of the river. You however were still tumbling down the steps, uttering a new and inventive swear for each step you hit on the way down, cursing whatever you could think of and some things you couldn't. It was truly a sight to behold, or to hear, or even to smell at this point.

foxmccloud 4387 – Arm yourself – [1] You fumbled around the room looking for anything you could find to help you combat whatever was waiting for you in the kitchen. Your efforts were mostly fruitless until you happened upon a mouse trap. Perhaps you could bait the ghoul surely lurking in your fridge with the promise of cheese? Thinking this was a sound plan, you grabbed the tra— Ouch! As soon as you motioned for your weapon of choice, it attacked without mercy, chomping on your fingers.

Omega Shadowcry – Now searching for new updates – [1] You loaded up previous ship information and current status reports, noticing a bit of a problem. It looked like the last person to try and update the database infected it with some kind of vicious program that was slowly tearing the ship's systems apart, and may have been the cause for Mazoran's malfunction earlier.

Cathari Sarad – Speak, squidwoman! - [4] As you reached the level where the squidwoman was lounging, you tried engaging in conversation again. You started off with a little small talk, which was met with a few blurrburs you were sure translated to an equivalent. That out of the way, you got to the more important questions, like who she was and what this place was. This was when she cautiously looked around and removed the squid from her actual face, where she asked you if you were from around here, before she would answer anything else.

NE Sgamer 190 – Duck and cover! - [5] Making use of your stealth training that you weren't sure if you actually had, you hid yourself under a nearby table, completely out of sight as the sirens blared. Some of the void people ran around screaming hysterically before another rift in the lobby opened up, sucking anything and anyone who was near it into what looked like a different abyss. Thankfully, the area under your table of safety seemed to be out of reach.

Trip – Ride the fire straight into the afterlife – [2] Now that your horrific death sequence was complete, you ascended to the afterlife, or at least you would have if it didn't seem like you were still stuck to the ground somehow. You were certain you were dead as you can faintly remember the explosion, and clearly see the forest in front of you on fire, but you can't seem to ascend or even descend to another plane.

bRaHiAn1 – Dramatic entrance, take two – [3] Now that the next scene had started, you tried your hand at another dramatic entrance you had all worked out from the start. You quickly ran out onto the set, all spotlights on you as you went into action. However, the pyrotechnics display and theme music you had prepared didn't seem to go off. Well, in the end it was better than no entrance at all.

Philosopher – Clone repair – [4] You immediately got to work on getting the cloning machine back up and running how it was supposed to, and actually managed to get something on the ship working without difficulty this time as you had a hand from your crew. The cloning machine was all ready to go again after a few minutes of repair work, and it seems the repairs also caused the less than desirable clones to fade.

>fox: I try to remove the mousetrap. Then I try to repeat my attack plan from last roll, with another weapon if possible.

>No! Noooooo! After screaming at the sky for a few minutes, I pick up my bicycle and float off back home dejectedly. I ask the amulet if there is maybe a way I could ride my beloved bicycle again.
