4.04: Time for some thrilling heroics.

[nofileext]

The Mainframe populace go about their business as usual, if disturbingly cheerfully. The air is filled with cars and zipboards, not CPUs and tanks.

Everything's quiet, more or less.

Of course, given the group that's just coming in from Milliways, that's not liable to last long.

First through the door is their native guide, ready to explain features of his world or give directions to the bathroom if anyone forgot to go before.

Bruck glances around when he steps through the door. A hallway. A pretty normal hallway, even if it might look a little...odd. "So...where are we, Enzo?"

Re: header count

[a1enzo]

"My house. It's in Beverly Hills. That's my room," he adds, pointing to one door; it's closed, though.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

Oracle spends the first few moments a bit distracted. She has legs again, after all. Of a sort anyway. There's a big smile on her face as she looks around.

"So, this is Mainframe?"

[a1enzo]

"Uh-huh. My house."

It's a fairly ordinary upstairs hallway, decorated in a style that manages to be retro and slightly futuristic both at once. It's also covered in patches of glowing green veiny things.

Tommy's immediately on the alert the second he walks through the door. For all that they're in a relatively safe place, experience has taught him that this has the potential to change very quickly. You don't survive as long as Tommy has in his profession without a healthy measure of caution.

That's not to say that he's not fascinated, of course. Now that he's gotten over the initial reaction his power had to the transition from matter to energy, he's feeling much better. Being in Mainframe, a place where a body like his current one actually belongs, helps.

"Very interesting," he murmurs. "I'm guessing this is your house, Enzo?"

Tommy's not entirely sure what he'd been expecting, but for all that the environment is different, it's still... well, normal.

Re: header count

[a1enzo]

Normal except for the pulsing green light-tendrils all over everything. Enzo nods.

Re: header count

[precocioustilda.livejournal.com]

An obscenely large stack of crates enters.

It's followed by... another obscenely large stack of crates.

After a number of them have passed through, they're joined by a brightly coloured little girl with a mischievous grin, who turns around to levitate the last few through.

Re: header count

[a1enzo]

The hallway now looks a bit like a box-fort, but without any door. This may turn out to be a problem. From within the fort, a muffled voice says, "Help?"

Re: header count

[steadfastknight]

An icon was thrown through the door courtesy one of Kitt's open doors in the bar proper. In midair, the icon activated and from it grew Kitt's emulator: Kitt in sprite form.

"Good heavens," he murmured and dusted himself off - for all he knew he didn't need to. "This is different."

Marian was distracted by her greenishness, here and there, when she wasn't staring in awe at the everything she'd walked into.

"This definitely isn't like back home."

Re: header count

[seker-pride.livejournal.com]

Directions to the loo isn't really necessary for Strahan. We don't think.

Still, it always helps to know.

"So. This your home."

Re: header count

[bprd_agent_red]

Hellboy looks around and nods, "Nice digs. We fightin in here? Just gotta warn you, there's gonna be property damage, hope you're insured."

Re: header count

[goinghost.livejournal.com]

He was the last through the door, but when he got through, he was all business.

"Enzo, where are the zipboards? We need to get moving," Danny said.

Not that he needed one, but some of the others did.

Re: header count

[hack-slash-bots.livejournal.com]

And taking up the rear of our motley group, the two bots pop in through the door and peer around the house. They've been here before, and right now Slash is trying to get Hack calmed down.

Dey gotta job to do. Help these guys however possible and hopefully save Miss Dot.

Re: header count

[a1enzo]

And finally finally, Frisket, sniffing, growling, and occasionally sneezing at the patches of infection on the floor.


"Okay, everyone here?" calls Enzo. "Follow me."

He leads the way down the stairs (pausing as necessary for Matilda to manoeuvre her crates down) and through the house to the garage. It looks approximately like any garage on most Earths, except that the car has no tires. They're not missing, it's just not designed to have them.

Enzo points out a shelf that's too high for him to reach easily. "There's the zipboards. Everyone take one if you can't fly by yourself."

Team Cure

[nofileext]

Members: Enzo Matrix, Oracle, Bruck, Kitt Knight, Maid Marian, Hack, Frisket
Objective: Administer the infection cure to as many sprites as possible, starting with the senior command staff of the Principal Office. Hopefully they shouldn't put up too much of a fight, right? ...Right?

Re: Team Cure

[a1enzo]

Enzo beckons his team leftward from the house and down the block. This street is currently empty, praise the User. "I think they'll be at the Principal Office. ...Hang on." He pulls up and looks down at Frisket, galloping alongside. "Can you find 'em, Frisket?"

Frisket sniffs at the ground and sneezes. There's too much virus-scent all over everything; he can't pick out anything else. He looks up at Enzo and whines.

Enzo scratches Frisket behind the ears. "That's okay, boy. They're prob'ly there." And if not, well, they'll keep looking 'til they find them.

Re: Team Cure

[nofileext]

At the doorstep of the Principal Office, a sprite is weeping.

Hexadecimal lies curled up in a fetal ball in front of the Gateway device, cradling her cracked cheek in her hands and sobbing her heart out. Nulls wander by and nudge at her legs and back, but she scarcely notices.

She has heard the Word... but the Word doesn't want her.

Team Splodey

[nofileext]

Members: Matilda Wormwood, Danny Phantom, Tommy Oliver, Hellboy, Strahan, Slash
Objective: Stop Daemon by any means necessary. Just try not to destroy the system while you're at it.

Re: Team Splodey

[nofileext]

Daemon and her messenger have been hard at work; there is only one Tear left unstabilized, only one system left uninfected. Bob struggles to stay conscious through the pain and weakness brought on by his damaged code. He would like nothing more than to stop and rest, but his duty is not yet complete.

I must finish what I began. For my Lady. For the Word.

Summoning all his strength, he forces his energies out toward the Tear, which blossoms into a portal... and then he drops like a rock.

"Bob!" cries Dot in a panic--but Daemon holds out a hand, and Bob's descent comes to an abrupt halt in midair. The virus gently guides him down to rest on the roof near Dot, then turns her attention to the new portal. A single touch, and the green tendrils of the Word spread through the connected system.

"My function is complete." She fingers her hourglass pendant. "Now it is just a matter of time."

Taunts, Tantrums, and TRUCKSPLOSION

[nofileext]

The Principal Office doors burst open, and out leaps Hexadecimal.

But this isn't the trembling white sprite Daemon left on the steps a few nanos before. This is Hexadecimal, the Queen of Chaos, a nightmare in red and black, her cracked mask/face frozen in a snarl of rage.

"GET AWAY FROM MY SPRITE!" she roars, blasting Daemon with an energy beam that sends her flying.

Hell hath no fury like a Chaos Virus scorned.

Re: Taunts, Tantrums, and TRUCKSPLOSION

[precocioustilda.livejournal.com]

"Or, alternately, explode."

Far ahead in the flying virus' path, a young blue sprite with bright red hair steps out into the street and glances to one side, then flicks her head abruptly in Daemon's direction.

A large, decrepit truck bearing the inscription "TWO SMALL SPRITES WITH BIG CPUS TRANSFERRING COMPANY" snaps into view. Daemon heads one way. The truck heads the other. And when they meet, in midair above the city...
