private The Chambers (The Living Prison)

[Writer 41]

Church is a little tired. "Sigh. I'll see you later then. I think I'm gonna get some sleep. Maybe see what happened up there." Church didn't really have anything to do with it but once again his peace maker instincts were kicking in. First sleep though. He was beat. As he arrived at his cell he lies down and drifts off almost immediately.

 

That night, you have a very strange dream. In this dream, you are in a red-velvet room. An old gramophone plays a record that skips every few measures.

Across from you, a pony with a darkened out face sits. He's wearing a prison warden's outfit.

"Hello, I am the director. What is your name?" He speaks, but he has no voice...

What do you do?

 

"You did not just call me a bitch!" She yelled, angry now. Who did they think they were, treating her like this. "You disgusting pieces of shit don't even deserve to live. In fact you should just die." She said, reaching for the gun they had offered her earlier hoping to grab it fast. Who cared if they saw here though, no one called her a bitch and tried to do stuff like that to her and get to live.

 

You manage to get the first shot off before you're tackled by the other.

Looking up for a split second, you see him readying his hoof to crash your skull, the next moment the world is dark.

What do you do?

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

Church doesn't know what's going on. He must be going insane he thinks. "M-My name is Church. Who are you?" He then notices the outfit. "You... are you the warden? What do you want with me? Why am I here?" Church is a little disturbed by the whole situation. He waits for a response.

Quillusion looks up. She must be dead. She died already, how could that be. That was when she noticed the pony across the room. "Um, hello director?" She said, turning it into a question. "My name is Quillusion, but where am I, and why is a record playing. Am I dead?" She asked.

He taps the cigar out into an ashtray. "I am the Warden, just the Warden. Now, what I want from you is simple: I have big plans for you and a number of inmates, and I'd like your cooperation. See, my protection only goes so far, and that's why I need you to agree to something."

He pulls out a small vial.

"Drink this."

"Dead? Possibly, maybe. As for where you are, that's for you to decide, isn't it."

He taps his cigar into an ashtray.

"Now, no more questions, to business. I have big plans for you, but I need your cooperation."

He pulls out a small vial.

"Drink this, and you will have my blessing."

What do you do?

[Pinkie D Pie 1,036]

Should she trust this pony. She couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or not. And what was his plans. "Can you tell me what is in that vial, and what your master plan is before I drink it?" She asked the warden, doubting she would tell him anything. He also didn't seem like the kind that sweet talking would work on.

"Trust is a two-way street. I trust you will get my plans done, and you should trust that I'm not going to kill you."

Seems your suspicions were right, he's not going to say anything. Besides, your 'sweet talking' has gotten you in a lot of bad places lately.

What do you do?

[The Pirate Prince 105]

"Excuse me? I'm not going to be your scapegoat. I didn't empty those boxes and I wasn't the one sneaking around up there. Crimson said he didn't want to hang around anymore and you didn't want to go up the stairs in the first place. Exactly how much different would it have gone if I hadn't been there? I'm the new guy remember. If you three wanted to carry on, I would have had no say in the matter, would I? I understand you're frustrated and you might be a bit sore from me not taking your side at the bottom of the stairs, but if you shouldn't let that cloud your thinking, it's unprofessional." Rich turned to the other two.

 

"Do you agree, or should I forget about working with you guys?"

Church takes the vial and examines it. In all his years of scientific research he had never seen anything like this. From his time in the prison he also knows that you could never trust another pony. "First off, what is it? Why should I trust you? And what's in it for me?"

Jacob walked up to the hooded stallion. "Cross-Stitch, Im looking for a mask, something intimidating, that won't make people recognize me. Just wondering, do you also have bulletproof vest's?" Jacob waited for a response. He didnt think it would be to expensive for a mask. He was planing on trading the strip of gauss he had.

 

 

(OOC: i was thinking the mask was going to look something like scarecrow's mask from batman begins.)

[Pinkie D Pie 1,036]

She decided to trust him, knowing it might end in badly. "Fine." She said, grabbing the vial and staring at it. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. "So I just drink it?" She said, nervously. Trust was not easy to come by, but she was starting to get creeped out by this pony. She turned the vial up and drank it.

*Crimson won't forget what you said

"Fine, fuck you." Crimson turns to the others. "We've got one stop left, so we better make this count; otherwise, newguy over there is going to the Skags..."

At least you've got one more chance to get your riches.

"Alright, the medical pavilion used to be overrun with Skags, but lately they've gone quite. Maybe we could get some supplies there."

Sounds like a crazy idea...

"Well, if you don't drink it, you're stuck here with me for a long... long... long time. Other than that, you will have my blessing, and as far as the AI is concerned, that's almost as good as a pardon."

Seems tempting... could he really get you out of there?

He flicks a cigarette out of his mouth. "Yeah... maybe I've got some things..."

He sniffs. "But don't try and play me, I want to see what you've got to give me, before I show anything I've got."

He drives a hard bargain, but if it's the only way to get what you need...

What do you do?

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

Church thinks for a moment. "So what you're saying is this vial could give me... freedom? I'll do anything for that. Not to mention this place is extremely creepy..." Church grabs the vial and chugs it in one gulp. He wipes his mouth and make a face. "Wasn't the most tasteful thing I've ever drank... so what now?"

The world fades away and you wake up in a dark room. The stallion that attacked you is sitting across from.

Trying to move, you find that a bike-lock has your head tied to a post and a rope binds your front hooves behind your back.

The stallion looks up, grins, then moves towards you. "Well, well, well... I almost thought you weren't going to make it. Guess I get to have some fun afterall."

He moves to a trapdoor on the other side of the room, opening it reveals light. "I have to go take care of some things, I'll be back right after."

He leaves, chortling to himself.

(OOC: You have three moves before he comes back.)

Before you get an answer, the world fades away. You wake back up in your cell, Red standing just outside the door.

"Got a minute? I found some work I wouldn't mind being done."

OOC: Red's work is sort of like the 'clean up this place' sort of style. Those are your tasks.)

She looks around. "Ugh I wish I was still with the warden now." She said, realizing her much her head hurt. She tried to pull away from the wall, hoping to dislodge herself from the lock, but doubted it would work. She wasn't the strongest pony after all.

(Is unicorn magic dulled and everything?)

[discorded 234]

Jacob decided to show him the shiv and the roll of gauss. Jacob didnt show him the c-4, Jacob didnt want to part with it just yet. "I think that what im asking for is only worth the roll of gauss, i dont think that I have enough for a bulletproof vest but if you do have one I would definitly come back when i can afford it."

It only rattles a bit, but doesn't do anything. If only your horn had been cut by that damned AI, your magic could get through this in no time.

Looking around a bit closer, you notice a plate, JUST within reach. Maybe you could use it to cut yourself free.

He examines the Gauze closely. "Yes, clean. Not bad. Maybe not bulletproof vest, but a mask I can do."

He beckons you to follow him into an abandoned back room.

"What do you need it for? Protection? Terrorism? I need details before I can work ze magic, you know."

Okay, she definitely reminds you of someone from the past...

What do you do?

[The Pirate Prince 105]

"Fine. This time I'll just follow orders. If there's nothing to shoot, hack or carry, I'll let you three bicker it out." Once they had set off, Rich went up to Deadeye. "So, what do you think?" Rich had agreed with him at the foot of the stairs so that was a point in his favor.

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

Church rubs his head while looking at Red. "I just had the strangest dream... the warden... never mind. What work did you have in mind? Nothing too violent please. I am a peace make after all but I'm happy to help with anything else." Church can't get that dream out of his head. He shakes it off though and waits for a response.

"What do I think? I think you need to learn the rules of the Tunnels. Never leave unless the risk outweighs the reward." Answers Deadeye.

Seems he didn't care for you backing out back there, or your anger toward Crimson. They are all a team, afterall.

What do you do?

"Two things, really." He responds. "First of all, that fire has caused a lot of trouble, and I'd like you to look into it. I'd do it myself, but I'm not too spry nowadays. The other thing, I saw a con dragging some poor mare away the other day. If you could ask around the yard, I'd appreciate it."

You should probably pick only one, don't want to risk messing them both up.

"I Prefer not to say what i plan on using it for, but if you must know im starting to get myself into some deep shit. Im going to be making some ennemis and some allies. I would prefer it, if the only thing they remember is the mask instead of my face. But im not going to go into details. " On the way to the back room he saw a pony coming out of a hidden room. But Jacob just keep walking with Cross-Stitch.

"Fine, fine, whatever... just give me some design ideas and I'll do my work."

It's not hard to explain what you want; a scarecrow mask.

"Is that all? Yeah, I'll have it done in no time, but if your 'deep shit' hits the fan, my name doesn't get spoken. If it does, your ass is mine..."

Scary...

What do you do?

[The Pirate Prince 105]

"Since there was no telling if there even was a reward, or what kind of danger there was back there, I'd say I'm already pretty well versed. I didn't push you back through the vent and I didn't hear anyone complain until we actually got out of danger. Maybe we should have stayed, but when did that become my decision?"

"Bah, whatever..." You all continue on in silence, eventually reaching your destination, just beyond a vent cover.

"Now, we don't leave for anything. We either get what's in there, or we die trying. Understand, new-guy?" Crimson spits bitterly.

You don't need to be told twice... or rather a third time...

What do you do?

[discorded 234]

" I can guarantee your name won't be mentioned, as long as you don't tell anyone that Im the guy who bought the mask. " Jacob waited a couple of minutes, then the mask was done. "Well it's been a pleasure doing business with you Cross-Stitch. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future." Jacob gave him the gauss then he took the mask and put it on.

She looks at the plate. She had no idea if it would work, but she had to try. She grabbed the plate and started to attempt to cut herself free. If she did, she knew she would be okay, and not be tortured or worse, killed. She couldn't tell if it was working, and was scared that the convict would return in minutes.
