[plot] United in fate, together in action, part II

Who: Thunder Corp and anyone who wants to be involved in the machine theft!
Where: A little-used road in the middle of nowhere, heading towards the echo boundary
When: Nighttime, August 6th
What: Hijacking (and later, testing) Project Jump!
Warnings: Violence, most likely.



[ Ellie has done as promised and kept in contact with the hijacking team since making her announcement. They have been supplied with the following information:

There is one truck containing eight guards, with Ellie being the short one. All of them carry guns and have some training in their use. They're not expecting trouble, but if something does occur their orders are to escape with Project Jump instead of fighting, if possible.

Which means the truck itself needs to be stopped. Ellie has informed the team that she won't be driving, so she can't help them with that. She'll also need to put up some token resistance in the event of a fight, but she promises not to hurt anyone.

(The latter statement was texted along with a little winky emote. Ellie is not good at being reassuring.)

Finally, the team have been given a spot along the road to await the truck's arrival. It's an excellent place for an ambush: trees line both sides of the road, offering plenty of hiding places.

I'm coming over.

[But she can't really walk if she can't feel her legs, and now that she thinks about it... she has no clue what direction he is in. Where is his voice coming from, what is it even, exactly?]
moreweaponsthanyou: (oh yeah?)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-08-15 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Um...maybe you shouldn't? I don't want you to get lost or so far away I can't hear you any more!

[They can't tell where they are anyway....probably safer to remain right where they are, right? This is what they're supposed to do when lost anyway, as he remembered when he was a kid. Stay where you are, don't move and someone will find you. Hopefully someone will find them.]
notbloody: (sadness)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-08-16 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
If I walk into the right direction, I'll find you. [But she isn't really all that sure about that...]
moreweaponsthanyou: (Oh no!)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-08-17 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No really, please don't. I still need to get us both out and I can't do that if you get so lost I can't hear your voice again. [And Fil has the feeling he'll go crazy if it was only his voice in the void with nothing else.]
notbloody: (donk donk donk)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-08-17 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...You can get us out of here?
moreweaponsthanyou: (oh yeah well're dwarves)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-08-18 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
...not right now? But I'll think of something. Hopefully.
notbloody: (what is up there?)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-08-19 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
How long do you need to think of something?
moreweaponsthanyou: (Oh no!)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-08-19 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno. I can't even tell the time here. Just...wait? Please? [Fil thinks 10 minutes have passed but it might have been 20? 30? He's not sure.]
notbloody: (climb the head)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-08-20 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
[There is silence for a while, and then:] Have you thought now?
moreweaponsthanyou: (At your service!)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-08-21 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, not yet! [He spent the last few minutes trying to move his arm, of what he thought was his arm. He's not sure it's worked at all.]
notbloody: (what is up there?)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-08-23 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
My mistress said that you can't not think because your head just does that, but I don't think she's right because when I sleep I don't think. And you just didn't think either.

Were you asleep? It's dark like you should be. [She's babbling a bit, but she's also scared, so it's a reasonable reaction?]
moreweaponsthanyou: (one last stare)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-08-24 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Do you dream? If you're dreaming, your brain's still thinking. It's just not under your control.

[Fil is taking slow, measured deep breathes.] I don't think I can sleep in this. Too creepy.
notbloody: (what is up there?)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-08-24 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...How do I know if I dream?

[It's distracting her from worrying about how creepy the surroundings are.]
moreweaponsthanyou: (calling out)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-08-25 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Er...I'm not sure actually. But sometimes you can remember something you see in your mind when you've been sleeping after you wake up.

[Yes, good. This was a safe topic.]
notbloody: (donk donk donk)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-08-26 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
...Like memories that aren't really memories. Like echoes!
moreweaponsthanyou: (oh yeah well're dwarves)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-08-27 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, that's a pretty good way to describe. Except echoes can affect your bodies too and dreams are pretty much all in your mind.
notbloody: (what is up there?)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-08-31 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
But if I dream of running and fall out of my nest or the couch because of it that affects my body, too.
moreweaponsthanyou: (Oh no!)

[personal profile] moreweaponsthanyou 2014-09-01 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Not...really. Not in that way. You probably were twitching a bit in your sleep and everyone does that but it might not be because you're dreaming. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right.
