Forum Wars: The Pebble Version Forums Roleplay

[Stevenson]

Stevenson flew overhead, attempting to keep up with Silver. "I mean, yeah. You weren't expecting a resort, were you? What is it that fills you with suspicion?"

Simeon, you hear Indigo's voice.

"These areas are imperfect representations. It would be expected that the Survivor area is an imperfect replica, or perhaps totally wrong."

[Saber Knight]

"WAAAAAAAAAAIT!" shouted a panicked Saber Knight who had spaced out for a good part of the conversation. "WAIT FOR MEEE!" She quickly dashed after Simeon, Silver and Stevenson. Because that would make this a group of people who all had names starting with S. Which was definitely the best way to make decisions.

In her panicked state, Saber didn't notice that she was faster than she usually was and, as such, was able to catch up to the other three. "Eyooo! I'll probably be useless at noticing if anything is different since I've never participated in PV Survivor (though I do participate in Trumpet Survivor! Trumpet survivor is super awesome and my tribe is the cooliest and I actually have a challenge due tonight shoot I don't think I'll be able to get that done while I'm here, hope I don't get booted off my tribe that would be the suck. ), but... uhm... I've got a lightsaber? And I can fly now?" Having caught up, Saber now took the time to take in her environment. "Seems like a pretty chill place."

[Simeon]

Simeon grunted and stuck his weapons into his belt-loops where they could easily be reached should something happen. "... an imperfect representation... huh. Regardless, thanks for the info, Indigo."

Saber's rambling finally reached the lion-man's ears. When she finally calmed down, Simeon replied: "It was a pretty 'chill' place. It was primitive, yes, but comfortable. I was still expecting it to look like the Oregon Coast... but I'm sure there are still elements from the original thread here that we can scrounge up and use." He started walking toward the implied encampment beyond the trees. "The only thing that would -not- make it 'chill' is the fact that the original threads were haunted. ... There's a good chance that's what set off my internal red flags, because I felt the same way when I sensed the ghost for the first time. -- So I my advice to you is to stay on your toes. Ghosts or no ghosts, we're not alone here."

[Josiah]

Having had lots of experience standing on unsteady surfaces due to riding the trains in Japan, the weird shift barely as he enters the Time Warp section barely phases Josiah.

"I kind of doubt it's binary." he repsonded to Kaida's comment. "Besides, whether or not that's binary it's still 1. And, since there's nothing else in here, we might as well take a look."

He opened the door to reveal a room with clocks covering the walls. On the far end, a person with a cheese hat was sitting at a desk while a bespectacled cat looked at a calendar.

"Cheezdude and...CGC?" Josiah stepped into the room. "It is really you? Or more evil clones?"

[Stevenson]

Team Time Warp

The cat looks up. "Who the heck is CGC?"

Cheezdude says, "Do you call everybody you meet evil, or are we special?"

They go back to what they're doing.

Team SSSS

Silver--you find a large green tarp, a fire pit,b and some other signs of life. The fire pit has smoke coming from it. Since you were probably looking for chicken cages, I can say that you find none.

As each person rounds the corner, a text box appears in front of you.

"Welcome to Survivor! Please select one item to keep. The rest will be held in escrow until you leave the area."

Stevenson, for himself, keeps his spear.

[Kaida]

"He's right Josiah, there might be clones running around that aren’t affected by the, lets call it a virus." Kaida said as she poked her head around Josiah to inspect the room, leaving Mandis fluffy wings alone. "This reminds me of a cross between the 1971 Willy Wonka movie and Alice in Wonderland for some reason," She continued moving her way into the room.

"We're sorry Cheeze, we had an unfortunate encounter earlier with some clones or shadows or something of the sort." She said to 'Cheezedude', "And I think he means Cubby Grey Cat" She said walking over to the feline and putting her hand up to give him a scratch, then paused and asked "May I?".

Considering what had happened in introductions, under all likelihood these were corrupted doppelgangers, but it was worth a try making friends. Kaida always enjoyed making new friends, and she had a large soft spot for cats.

[Stevenson]

The cat looked up. "You may not. And I'll have you know that I'm hardly chubby. It's good to see you don't remember me, I'm PoikSpirit."

"Who are you, anyway?" Cheez says, as Poik goes back to his calendar.
The clocks seem to be increasing in speed slightly.

[BionicleMandi121]

"Poik?" Mandi asked with some surprise. "I never really saw you as a cat, I guess, most of us thought you were an Ichigo on fire." She bent down and picked up her bow which, to her shame, she had momentarily forgotten it after the discovery of her wings. Despite being made of metal, it was surprisingly lightweight. She still didn't know how she'd use it without a string, though. "Well, Poik and Cheezdude, it's nice to meet you in person at last (does this count as 'in person,' anyway?). I'm Bioniclemandi121, or just Mandi. The rest of us are Josiah, Matrix Kirby, and Kaida; I'm pretty sure you can figure out which is which." She paused for a moment, head tilted slightly to one side. "What are you two doing here? The rest of us spawned on the index page, if you'll excuse my usage of gaming terminology."

[Stevenson]

"What? What do you mean?" Cheez asks. "We've been here for a pretty long time. What are you even talking about?"

The clocks are going noticeably faster.

[Simeon]

=Meanwhile at the Survivor Forum=

Simeon figured his gunnysack of holding counted as an inventory and not as an item in and of itself, so he neatly arranged his weapons on his carefully folded cloak inside one of the tents, and slung the gunnysack back over his shoulder. The only thing still in the sack was the one item he brought with him to the old island years ago: a beat up old teddy bear that he dared not reveal to his companions.

"<Just like old times, eh, Radar?>" Simeon quietly mused in another language to his gunnysack's only passenger, certain the rest of the gang couldn't hear. He then stepped aside to let the rest of the team whittle down their inventories.

[Stevenson]

Simeon's items disappear.

[Saber Knight]

Saber looked dismayed. "Drat. I was really liking this flying thing, but I guess a lightsaber would be more useful since we already have two members of this party that can fly. Guess I'll take the lightsaber."

[Josiah]

Josiah pauses for a moment to wonder why Poik is a cat, then shrugs.

"I tend to assume clones are evil, since that's usually a given and yeah, we already ran into a couple. Though if you're not clones and/or evil, I'm sorry about that. But anyway, what's the deal with all the clocks?"

[Stevenson]

Cheez looks at the wall. "What do you mean?"

Superfast ticking! You're starting to feel strange.

[BionicleMandi121]

"You know what, Josiah, these clocks speeding up is getting a little ominous," Mandi remarked. "As much as I hate to say it, I don't think these are the Cheez and Poik we're familiar with. For one, they're being kinda suspicious. Cheez said they've been here for a long time, when the rest of us spontaneously arrived in a group a short while ago. Of course, this being the Time Warp section, time could be moving at a different pace in here. For another, the clocks. I can see (and hear) them, I assume you and Kaida and MK can too, but apparently Cheez cannot. Either he and Poik aren't what they claim they are, or we're hallucinating." She looked down at herself, then at the other three forum-goers that entered the Time Warp section with her. "This might be a random question, but do any of you have a watch? I'm curious whether the clocks in this room are accelerating of their own accord, or if time itself is speeding up."
