    Plas puts his palm on one of the pads to see what happens.

    The pad on the right is the nearest one to him.

    Nothing happens.

    The pads look clean - there's none of the usual tell-tale grease marks you'd expect from frequent applications of hands.

    "I know you're out there ChubChub!!!"

    Randy raises his fist, ready for some fisty cuff'n .



    Randy belts out "MOoooooOOOOoooooooooooooooooooRRRRRDUR and MAAAAAAYHEM!!!!!!!"

    Randy readies himself for the battle ahead.

    Plas checks the security guard for any keys / ID cards / Anything that might be usable on the myserious pads.

    In the fog it's pretty easy to dart under Balls's feet and back to the wall, following it around, leaving the scuffling to the gang-bangers and the mysterious yet undeniably sexy young dude(tm).

    The Foyer is as she left it - foggy. Although it now has a stronger smell of urine than she remembers.

    Squiramorph continues out of the building towards the underground car park, keeping along the walls so as not to draw attention to herself.

    OOC: And if no rolls are required....:pac:

    Once she's in the car park she morphs back into human form and takes cover behind a pillar to survey the scene.

    Plas senses the time is approaching clobber o clock (commonly known as Clobbering time).

    The breast pocket of his shirt is torn, something was ripped off from here - possibly an ID card, or maybe these guys just really hate that smug Lacoste crocodile.

    For copyright purposes we're restricted to using the 12-hour clock. Please specify either Clobbering AM or Clobbering PM so no one gets sued.

    OOC: That would really depend on daylight savings.....

    Unphased by this display of bovine fury, the Tallowman throws a wild haymaker at the crazy old geezer's face. The punch connects but the fist wraps around Heffernan's face like porridge round a wrinkly, tanned spoon, losing all kinetic impact. Tallowman withdraws his fist, staring quizically at his arm stump as the hand reforms, then shrugs and takes up his fighting stance once more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    The rain from the little cloud over Heffernan's head begins to intensify and his clothes begin to whip in the wind swirling around him. He lets out an almighty MOOOOOO! unleashing the full force of the tempest at his molten molester. The Tallowman fixes his fudgelike feet on the ground and pushes back but cannot resist the furious flurry - he's pushed back into the fog (which seems curiously unmoved), the slow splatting a few seconds later suggesting he's becoming well acquainted with the teller windows behind him.

    Mr. Heffernan scratches his head, confused that the blast of wind seemed to not affect the fog inside the building.

    "What the... how... what? That... doesnt make any sense..." he says hefolds his arm.

    Ooc : you can roll awareness Vs d6+5 to clear the fog.
    Timeline-wise, you blew the guy away at the same time Fourier just decked Doug the loomie. Speaking of Doug, look out Mr heffernan! (Coordination+2 cause it's not specifically aimed at you Vs d6+3)


    Indigo Spirit swings at Doug but the loomie leaps backwards into what he thinks is a hazy haven, firing as he goes. Indigo ducks, the flaming bolt racing towards the Tallowman and his quarry. A sudden flurry of wind blows the behemoth out of the way, (sentence end postponed, result pending Nebel's roll!)

    Doug's momentary misty mitigation comes to a crashing end as five fingers unite to deliver high speed justice direct to his face. He folds like a well ironed sheet. The normal kind, not those fitted ones. I mean you can try to fold them but really you're just crumpling with a little pizzazz. Anyway...

    Behind him, one more Loomie is tentatively moving forward, limping slightly, with his candlestick raised over his head, ready to strike.

    There's no immediate reaction - he does hear a whir behind him but nothing that's causing him alarm.

    In the fog, Squiramorph follows the wall around to the side of the building, crosses the road and scuttles down into the carpark. There she finds an abandoned van and two unconscious Loomies beside a destroyed security door.

    OOC: Back in human form presumably?

    Squiramorph sidles up to the unconscious Loomies and checks them over for any items, identifying marks, social security numbers...

    Once checked over she makes for the security doors, sliding back into the shadows and checking briefly behind her for danger.

    Plas goes back to the security cameras to see if there is any change beyond the door.

    Climbing to her feet she hears the squeal of tyres, the blare of sirens and the thunder of jackbooted feet as the police response arrives outside.

    She is mercifully pee free.

    Her companion leaps to his feet when he hears the police arrive, but either he's a nervous sweater or he waited too long. In either case, he runs for his freedom.

    Behind her, in the main hall, a shelf hits two guys in the face.


    Shelly turns around to observe what sounded very like two guys getting hit in the face with a shelf, and surveys the scene, now in front of her..

    Sorry, busy at work.

    She see's the materialising guy from the foyer beating the snot out of some strangely attired guys who don't look like the bank's usual clientele, an old fart screaming "Moo!" at a big yellowy mess on the back wall and a bunch of civilians cowering on the ground in a very quiet and thus-far unobtrusive manner.

    There's one gang member still on his feet.

    It's not clear if any of the feeds relate to what's behind the door. Not much has changed, though in the view of the vault the bright white blur has been replaced with a gaping hole.

    Sneaking through the door, Squirramorph finds herself in the first security chamber, an abandoned desk and metal detector, with the wreck of a security door to her right.

    OOC : You Coordination is enough that the shot misses. Failed the Awareness roll (4 v 9) - The fog persists! I'd describe what you can see but you can't!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Plas leans against the security desk, facing the security door. He folds his arms and waits for the door to open.

    Indigo does a quick 360 of the room.

    Shelly heads back to the ATM to conduct the business she was here to do before the van drove into her, taking the opportunity to use them now before the queues start up again.

    Squiramorph continues through the wrecked door and looks around the next room.

    One Loomie still edges towards him, baby stepping, clearly still affected by this kind-of-illusory-kind-of-real-definitely-gods-mistake fog. The lumpen creature is beginning to peel itself off the wall by the teller counters. The old guy is no longer mooing. The remaining customers are slowly inching towards walls and huddling out of the way. Through the main door, Indy's view of the street is obscured by the van in the doorway.

    The end of the narrow corridor opens into a room with another desk, at which plasma Squirrel sits. He's looking the other way and hasn't seen her yet.

    Squiramorph continues up the corridor as softly as she can and into the room.

    'Nice to see you taking a break, Plas!'

    She looks around the room.

    'What's the problem?'

    'Ah Sqiramorph, just in time. A security door stands between us and what I assume is our foe, who I think, from the CCTV footage I have seen, has broken into the vault.

    I could probably break my way through the door, but we would lose the element of surprise, possbly injure me before battle, and owe the bank quite a lot of money in repair fees.

    I'm waiting for the goon beyond to come back out the door before I stop him. HOWEVER if you can use your skills to open the door, we can move this right along, old Chum.' Plas responds.

    'I guess I could give it a shot.'

    Squiramorph examines the door and surroundings to see if there is anything she can manipulate with her Machine Control powers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    While Squiramorph examines the door Plas updates him on what has happened to Plas since they separated.

    OOC: Can I get an Awareness roll, number to beat is 10?

    She senses nothing from the door itself initially but there are what look like ID card scanners either side of the door, there's the terminal that displays the CCTV feed and there's a camera up in the roof that seems to be pointing directly at Plas and the security desk.

    OOC : Just to be clear, Machine Control gives you physical control of machinery, Interface gives you logical control of computer systems and the like
