A book by me and ArcaneCanineArtist. It includes all the characters from the books defeated and 48, and so it's gonna be pretty impossible to comprehend it for a while.
If you were a number, what number would you be? Nicholas: 1 Kale: 80 + 1 Max: Jared's going to say five. Just F.Y.I Sam: How do you know? Jared: 5. Wait, what?
You're in the laundromat when some guy with a gun bursts in and threatens everyone. What do you do? Jared: what laundromat? Sam: What is a laundromat, anyway? Nicholas Slink towards him and grab his gun. Kale: Tell Nick to slink towards him and grab his gun. Max: Tell Kale to tell Nick to slink towards him and grab his gun.
Where would you be found during the week? Kale: Telling Nick to do yard work. Max: telling Kale to tell Nick to do MY yard work. Sam: I don't havce a yard, although it would be fun snatching him. Jared: I wish I could Snatch him. Nicholas: Hey!
Who are you? Say Max, Nick. Nicholas: Max. My name's Max. Max: Harumph. Say Nicholas, Kale. Kale: NIcholas. Sam: He-he. *pokes Jared* Say Kale, Jared Jared: Kale. Kale and NIcholas: Hey! Max and Sam: He-he. Jared: Wait, what?
What's the point? Jared: Uh, I dunno. Sam *pokes Max* Max, can you tell the author to get on to so something more important since I can't poke him? Max: Sure. Get on to something more important, Kyle. Kale: How do you know his name? Max: I can read his mind, too. Surprisingly similair to NIcks. Nicholas: Cool. Sam: Max sending an order while she's snatched might temporarily fry Kyle's brain, though. I think it will stop working soon. Max: Whoa. What just happened? Jared, tell me what just happened. Jared: You were snatched by Sam. Wait, what?
If you were an animal, what would you be? Kale: A human. Nicholas: A monkey. A ninja monkey. Sam: A FREAKING SNATCHER! that's an animal, right? MAx: Jared's going to say human. Jared: Human. Wait, what?
What's your favorite food? Sam: Humans!! MWAHAHAHAHA! Just kdding. Jared: Pizza. Nicholas: Food. Max: Say food, Kale. Kale: Food.
What's your purple? Kale: Aw, c'mon, Max! You know how much I hate that! Nicholas: Now you know how I feel. Max: you realize I haven't answered any questions yet, right? Sam: Actually, I'm blue. Jared: What's YOUR purple? Sam: Told you his brain would fry. It will start working again now, though.
Whoa. What just happened? Sam: We accidentally fried your brain. Max: He thinks we don't exist! I just read his mind. He's writing everything we say. Say we exist. We exist. Max: No. Say we exist. We exist. Max: Gaah! Never mind! Gorlac: Am I in the right chat room?
If you could have on power, what would it be? Kale: controlling people other than Nick. Nicholas: Not being controlled by Kale. Max: I already have a power. Jared's going to say "to be able to snatch people." Sam: to be able to snatch snatchers. Jared: to be able to snatch people. Wait, what?
Who did you want to be as a child? Sam: The Snatcher queen. Heh. Kale: My mom. seriously Sam? That's pretty funny. Nicholas: I can't really remember back then very well. I wrote a lot of books though. Max: Say Chuck Norris, Jared. Jared: Chuck Norris. Wait, what?
Who do you want to be now? Snatcher Sam: Snatcher Queen Human Sam: Jared. Kale: What?!! Sam: Oops, my personalities just seperated. I've been trying avoid that. Jared: Heh-heh.
What do you think of this character? Erin: Uh... hi. Where am I? Kale: Who are you, again? And how'd you get in here? Erin: I'm not supposed to tell. Max: Tell us. Erin: No. Nicholas: Whoa. I think we might have found out how to beat the snatchers. Sam: *Pokes Erin* Am I controlling you? Erin: Nope. What are Snatchers, anyway? Jared: We'll explain later. Copme on. Wait, where did she go? NOOO!!!
What will you do now? Kale: We have to go get her. Nicholas, figure out a way to go get her. Nicholas: On it. (Wish I was Erin.) Sam: Actuallly, I think the Snatchers have the tech we need. TheyI came here using something called a draveler, or a dimension traveller. Jared: What do they look like? I think we might have them. Sam: kind of like a watch, but huge. Jared: Yes! Max: Go get it, Jared. 1 minute later Jared: Got it! Wait, what? Kale: Let's go!
Entering chat room Z Nicholas: Whoa... Where are we? The sun's so... yellow. 25: Uh... yeah. congratulations. Want a doggy treat? 48: Who's been advertizing? Jared: All right, let's do this. Max? Max: Um... 48, put a knife to your throat. Whoeever you are. We want Erin. (Heh. Didn't think it would work over the internet) 48: Uh, what? Jared: No, 48, it's wait, what? Kale: We don't want to hurt anyone. We just want Erin. Erin: Whoa- what's going on? Sam:You know how to beat the Snatchers. Wish I could poke you right now. Jake: What's a Snatcher? Nicholas: Hard to explain. Now, if Erin doesn't come to coordinates 54:75 in 3 minutes, we'll let 48 here killl himself. 13: Sounds like a plan. Erin, GET YOUR BUTT TO THOSE COORDINATES! Kale: Sorry... We have to do this. Sam: 2 minutes left. 2: Where exactly are these supposed coordinates? Kale: It looks like we're in a barn. What year is this exactly? By the way, the timer's still running. Erin: How do I get there? 48: My arm's getting tired. Max: Jared, get Erin and bring her here. 48: Typing one handed sin't all its cracked up to be. 25: I wonder why. Nicholas: Maybe we could hang out after this, 25. Kale: Nicholas! stop talking! Jared: Got her. Wait, what?
Jared left the room Kale left the room Nicholas left the room Sam left the room Erin left the room Max left the room
Jared: Looks like you're not saturated by Ozone. I'm still not sure why you can't be snatched. Nicholas: *Stares at Erin* Ever heard of a wolf called Orbit? Or a book called "The random Story"? Erin: Uh... no? Nicholas: Hmmmmm... Kale: Wait! Are we sure she's not already snatched? And everyone in her planet was snatched, too? Sam: oh, snap. Jared: Kale, hurry and check! Kale: *poke* Never mind. Sorry. False alarm. Erin: What are Snatchers, anyway? Max: Sam? Sam: We're basically a blue ing humans, as hosts. We replicatre ourselves and transfer the copies to other people. We came from space and snatched everyone on a space shuttle, including Max here. She's part Snatcher now, because of teh conentration of atcher gel back then. Gradually we spread out and Snatched every human we discovered. We didn't discover this refuge here, though. As far as I know, this is the last refuge anywhere on Earth. We're fighting a losing battle against about 5 billion humans who can make us fight for them just by touching us. Every free human here can be snatched, other than me, Kale, and now you. Me and Max are part Snatcher, I'm full Snatcher, and Kale has Ozone chargers that not only keep her free, but can free other people. She can snatch Nick and order him around because she was the one that snatched him when she was a Snatcher. Nick was the last survivor, other than this refuge. He is pretty good at eving Snatchers. Nick: Pretty good? I'm freaking ninja! I know parkour! But eventually they outnumbered me. My life would be much easier if she couldn't oorder me around. I wish someone else had snatched me. Kale: Hey! Nick, stop talking. He-he. Nicholas: OK Max: Wow, that's actually pretty funny. Jared, remind me in a month to tell everyone to re-eneact that. Jared: OK. Wait, what? Sam: ANy questions, Erin? We have some time before the techies are ready to analyze your DNA. Erin: Just 1. I... I guess I understand everything else. Jared: Just 1?!! Max: Obviously. She said that, din't she? Erin: So anyway, how do you guys get electricity and food down here? Jared *Lights up* Let me show you! Our whole facility is underground. It's surrounding a vast empty area.We condensed all the Earth in it into one mini, floating black hole. Magnets orbit it very quickly creating tons of electricity, which we use to create food, materials, etc. and power everything Gorlac: Okay, me and the other techies are ready to examine your DNA, Erin. Erin:Black hole generator is cool. But how'd you get in here, Gorlac? Gorlac: I materialize as soon as the nerdiness level goes above 12. Erin: Umm... OK then. Gorlac: Hmm... her particular atomic structure reminds me a lot of that furby pokemon I checked up on on the 5th floor. Erin has a harmless virus on the surface of her skin that prevents cells from replicating. It kills snatchers, and is synthesizable. We are starting teh cloning process immediately. Sam: Remember not to touch me, Erin. It would short me out for a few hours. Erin: Wait, cloning? Jared: The reason we don't clone nor al people is because they can get snatched, including clones of Sam and Kale. Max: Ugh... And I got so annoying. Kale: I second that! Gorlac: We'll be ready to attack in about 48 hours. Erin: This might not be such a good idea... I've been in contact with 48 a lot. Nicholas: Finally! I can talk! I guess Kale's orders wear off after a while. Ugh, and when both Kale's were ordering me around, It was a nightmare. That was annoying not being able to talk. Kale: Be quiet until I say so, Nick. Nicholas: OK.
You know why you're answering these questions, right? Max: To let you get to know us better and to start off the random book. Duh. Sam: That's the first question you've answered. Erin: When do I get to go home?
Jared: Got it! Wait, what? Kale: Let's go!

You know why you're answering these questions, right? Max: To let you get to know us better and to start off the random book. Duh. Sam: That's the first question you've answered. Erin: When do I get to go home? Jared: Hopefully not until we've beaten the snatchers. Kale: Oh, sorry! Nick, you can talk now. Nicholas: Finally! This is really getting on my nervfes. Can we put it on the forbidden list? Max: Oh, no! It's too fun! Jared: I don't really like it either. Sam: OK, forbidden list it is. Gorlac: Uh-oh, the nerdiness level is dropping... Poof! Kale: That was wierd. Erin: What am I supposed to do while we wait? I guess you guys are fine with talking, but not me. Sam: Here, let me snatch you so you wake up when it's over. *pokes Erin* Sam collapses MAx: I think he forgot tabout the virus. He'll be there for a few hours. Erin: At least one of us is asleep. Nicholas: HaHA! You can't make me quiet!
How do you like THIS character? Cody: Uh... Where am I? And what year is this? Max: Oh no! Not another one! Jared: Year 3014. Erin: Finally! I'm not the newbie! Cody: Wait... I'm in the future? Oh, crap. Kale: Why is that bad? Ishmael: I finally have you! BWAHAHAHAHA! MAx: Who's Ishmael? Tell us who you are! Ishmael: Uh... Ishmael. Wait, who? Jared *SHakes his head* Newbies. Max: This is really confusing! Everyone stop talking! Everyone but Erin: OK. Erin: I can still talk. Max: Oh well. Okay, where do you come from, Cody? Max:Oops worry. Everyone here can talk to answer questions. Cody: Earth. Max: No, which dimension? Cody: Wavelength A, Region I, section P, Quadrant O, coordinates S, Dimension E. Otherwise known as the AIPOSE dimension. Max: Wow, your dimension must be a lot more advanced than ours. Ishmael, why are you here? Tell us. Ishmael: To get Cody. Nicholas: Well, fight it out somewhere else. Max: Come on! Get going! Into the Draveler. Kale: Phewf! They're gone. Erin: I wonder what that was about. Jared: The draveler says they went to the seventh dimension. Nicholas: Hopefully that's not anyone we know. Back in dimension 48...
48: What... Just... Happened.. 25: I have no idea--WHERE'S ERIN?! 13: I dunno.. ERINNN??!! Jake: This is really bad, you guys... You do realize that they may have traveled to another dimension, right?? 2: And that would pretty much prevent us from getting to her at all. Jake: Exactly. 25: Crap... Jake: You're telling me. 13: This is RIDICULOUS. Is there some way AT ALL we can locate them?! Jake: I'm not sure... Maybe if I can get to a scientist and see if they can somehow help us transport to wherever they are, using a variety of mathematical terms and such like--
Gorlac has entered.
13: Hey, he's back! How was the sloth, Gorlac? Gorlac: Believe me, that was an experience I'd rather not go through again. 48: Anyways, Gorlac, you're.... mathematical. Gorlac: JUST CALL ME A NERD. I DON'T CARE. 25: *cough* NERD *cough* Jake: 25, that wasn't exactly necessary. 25: Hey, he asked me to. 13: Gosh you guys, ANYWAYS. Gorlac, back to the point. We need to locate Erin. Gorlac: That's easy. Google her. 25: Are you CRAZY?! Gorlac: Absolutely NOT! Google her, It WILL come up. 2: Ok, I'll do that. *Googles* Jake: What happened? 2: Hold on-Internet connection is really slow. Gorlac: Mine isn't. I've already Googled her with my mind. 13: You... What...?? 48: Nevermind that, what came up?!! Gorlac: It says she's... I can't exactly tell... In a hole. Jake: WHAT:?!?!?!?!?!?! 25: Are you sure you didn't search 'mole', Garlic? Gorlac: Oh wait.. I did search mole. My name's GORLAC, by the way. 25: I know. Hehehe. Gorlac: Comedian. 25: HOW DARE YOU. Hey wait--That's a compliment. Gorlac: ... Gorlac: Okay--I've searched her name the RIGHT WAY, and it says that she's.. Jake: Yes??! 13: Go on? 48: Explain? Gorlac: It says she's... In a hole. Jake: What...? Gorlac: Excuse me, not in a hole--Underground. 2: Well that's just grand. They've kidnapped her and buried her. Gorlac: No, I don't think so.. 48: What do you mean? Gorlac: She's in an underground cave. I can't see much past that, though. 2: Well then, let's go find her? Gorlac: They are in a completely different dimension. How are we going to do that?? 25: If anyone is going to know, it's you, Garlic-Nerd-Sauce. Gorlac: That doesn't even make any sense. Jake: .... HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET ERIN?!?! 13: Please calm down, Jake. We'll find Erin. Don't worry. ...Even though... Nevermind. Jake: WHAT?! 13: Nothing--!!!
Jake has left.
48: Crap. Where'd Jake go!? 25: Probably to go find Erin. 13: Well, that much is obvious. We need to go with him.
13 has left. 25 has left. 48 has left. Gorlac has poofed. 2 has left.
Welcome to the seventh reality. 48: What....? 25: Hey, that's my line. -derp- 13: Jake? Jake: Yes..? 13: Where exactly are we? Jake: In my house. 13: You're house is in the... seventh reality...? Jake: Is that what it said? Sorry, wrong title.
Welcome to Jake's House. 48: That's more like it. 25: -Derpfulness.- 13: Ok then. So../ How are we going to find Erin?
Cody has entered the seventh dimension Andy has entered the seventh dimension Ishmael has entered the seventh dimension Cody: ... *Points at throat* Andy: *Stomps the ground in morse code* Ishmael: *Runs into Jake's house* Jake: Do I know you? Ishmael: No. Jake: Umm... OK, then. I don't think you really see what I mean. Ishmael: ... 25: A moment of awkward silence later... Cody: *Hears the noise and runs in* 2: What the heck? Cody: Yes! A question! What dimension is this? Jake: *Raises a fist* If you don't get out right now... Andy: I wouldn't do that, technically we're still snatched. Jake: *punches Andy* Jake: Get out! Chaos Squad: OK. 2: I'm confused... Cody: Wait, what? Andy: Uh... Jake: Whoa. What just happened? 13: Uh... Jake? I think you- 2: ANYWAYS! How do we get to Erin? Jake: Maybe they know. Hey! Um... You! How do you get to different dimensions? Cody: Don't tell him. It would be bad if they interfered. Jake: Tell us. Andy: OK. All you have to do is take this orb in my pocket, change the coordinates, and press the button. Wait, now? Jake: OK. 48, can you do that? 48: OK. *Gets golden sphere* Wait, exactly how? Jake: Let's go. Everyone except Cody, Andy and Ishmael left dimension 48 Cody: Here's what I think happened. Since Max is a quarter snatcher, she can snatch people and order them around, but not control their consciousness. She snatched us, so when we snatch people they don't listen to us at all. But they are like miniature Max's. Jake is now 1/16th snatcher. He won't be nearly as strong as Max, but definitely strong enough to order around other people. They could cause some serious damage. Andy: Uh-oh. Gorlac: I'm back! Hey, where is everyone?
In the snatcher dimension
Nicholas: Look! we've finally reached the snatcher compound. Max: Wow. That was a lot of walking. It would have been a lot more interesting if I could order the Erins around. They could all like, break out in song or something. Sam: I admit, I do want to see that now. Erin: ... BOOM
Nicholas: What was that? Erin: Why are you asking us? Jared: Whats with the Erins? Kale: We better find out quick, the snatchers are coming! Sam: Too late. Run! Get to the teleporter. /everyone runs/
/at the teleporter/
48: It's you guys again. 13: ...Are they following us...? Max: You guys are in our dimension and you're asking if we're following you? 25: Oh shut up. You're following us. Sam: Too late, let's leave them for the snatchers. We have to go. Kale: We can't just leave them. Nicholas: Yes we can. 13: If you do, I think I'm going to kill someone. Jared: What is that supposed to mean? 13: I think you know exactly what it means. Sam: Whatever we do, we have to leave soon. I'm gonna start transporting everyone. /alternatively starts poking people and the tube/ Jake: Wait--What are you- /is poked/ Max: Hehe. Everyone just remember not to resist. Everyone: OK.
At the other end of the tube
Sam : Let's see who we are. /48 is an old lady/ /13 looks a lot like Jake's mom/ /Jake looks like Erin/ /vice versa/ /25 looks like James Marston/ /2 looks like Scarlet/
Nicholas: Looks like all the REAL inhabitants of this dimension are still humans.
/Kale looks like Maximum/
Max: /huffs/ Name stealer.
/Max looks like Nudge/ /Nicholas looks like Fang/ /Sam looks like Iggy/ /Jared looks like Gasman/
Nicholas: I feel like I know you from somewhere, Erin. Erin: I'm over here. Nicholas: Oh, yeah. Well, Jake looks like my cousin Erin before she was snatched and partway freed then snatched by us. Jake: What? Kale: What's this on my back? And who's that? Jared: I've read about this somewhere... Max: Who is Scarlet, anyway? 13: Someone you wouldn't want to meet, obviously. Max: Who's the mind reader in this group? 13: ... You know what? I'd really like to bite you right now. Max: How? You don't even have a mouth. 13: Wanna bet? Max: Yes. Let's see if 48 has one. 48: I heard my name. What's going on? Max: 48, I just barely noticed that 13's a bird. And I just figured out how much you like birds... 13: OHSHIZZ. 48: Whoa--! Why didn't I notice this before? /tries to get to 13/ 13: TAKE IT BACK TAKE IT BACK TAKE IT BACK TAKE IT BACK--!!! Max: Urgh. all right. hey 48, 13's not a bird anymore. 48: ...Erm... OK. 13: /calms down a bit/ Okay then. Whos that? /points at Angel/ Angel: Max? What's going on? Kale: I'm not Max. That's Max over there. Angel: Yes you are. Kale: No I'm not. Angel: Yes you are! Kale: Oh, yeah. Right. Sam: Uh... What's going on? Angel: That's what I'm trying to figure out. Jared: Ugh... I feel sick. Max: Wait, what's going on? Kale: Nudge! you're awake too! Do you know what's going on? Max: ??? 13: This is quite funny, to be completely honest with you. 25: Wait, who am I again? 2: /snicker snicker/ You're Marston. 25: REALLY?? /evil laugh/ 2: /sits down/ This is gonna be good. 25: HEY, LOOK AT ME. I'M A DOPEY SCIENTIST WITH AN INSANE LACK OF SELF CONTROL. OR HYGIENE FOR THAT MATTER. YAKK YAKK YAKK YAKK YAKK YAKK YAKK /continued/ Max: Uh...... I don't understand. That's a new thing for me because usually SOMEONE does. 13: ...Right then. 25, do it again! 25: YAKK YAKK YAKK YAKK YAKK YAKK YAKK /etc etc etc/ Max: Guys, seriously, quiet! Does ANYONE understand why Kale thinks she's someone else? Everyone: OK. Erin: You told them to be quiet. I don't think you'll get a response from anyone but me. Although I think it might have something to do with the one person here who is actually themselves. /points at Angel/ Max: This will be a LOT simpler now that everyone's quiet. Angel: Umm... I don't get it. Max: I already knew THAT. Do ya think anyone DOES? No wait, I already know. NO. Erin: Hehehe.. Angel: Wow. Just shut up. Max: OK. Wait, what? How'd you make me do that? No wait, I already know that too. So you're a mind-reader too? This is just getting out of hand. Erin: ..You're telling me. Max: Kale, start freeing everyone. Kale: ... Max: And everyone can talk now. Let's get out of here before it gets any wierder.0 48: Does that mean we can switch back to our normal bodies? This is getting really annoying. Now I know how miserable it must be to be a human with arthritis. Kale: /pokes 48/ Grandma: Where........Am.........I.......? Sam: Ugh. /pokes grandma/ 48: WHOO.
/1 hour later/
Maximum: Uh... What just happened? Angel: Hard to explain. 13: No kidding. Jake: To sum everything up, those are Bloodhounds, they are Snatchers, and you were just barely snatched. Angel: I get it. Fang: What? 13: /pokes Fang/ Watching all of that makes me wish I could snatch people. Even though I have a buttload of authority I can use to do just the same thing. Jared: /points at horizon/ Snatchers will come soon. Grandma: GO TO THE SNATCHER COMPOUND OR BE SNATCHED Kale: Right on time. Grandma: /pokes Angel, who pokes fang, and so on/ Angel: Go on. Everyone: OK. Max: Wait, no! Everyone get away! Hurry! Everyone: OK. Jared: Wait, what? Jake: ...Back to the draveler...? Angel: No! Come back here. Jake: OK. Wait.. I'M CONFUSED. Sam: /Pokes Angel/ Angel: Get to the draveler! Hurry up, I'm fighting err... myself off from a snatcher and a mind reader! Everyone: OK.
/at the draveler/
Jared: Which dimension are we going to? Sam: No time, just go!
/AIPOSE dimension/
13: So.. This obviously isn't our dimension, and it's obviously not your dimension... Where are we? Andy: DImension AIPOSE. Come with us. Erin: Erm... Okay..? Max: But we're not even sure where we are. I'm not going. Andy: Uh... Uh... Uh... OK. You're not coming. Jake: I think Max may be right. Max: Hey! I'm always right! Jake: OK. Wait--Ugh. Nevermind. Anyways, we should just stay here, by the draveler. We have easy access to other dimensions. Jared: And other dimensions have easy access to us. Let's go. Max: Let's stay. Sam: NO. Whoa, I think snatching Angel... Well, hopefully it's temporary. Let's go. 25: What if half of us stayed and half of us went? 2: ...Why...? 25: I dunno. Just an idea. Max: Ugh. More mind reader fights. I'm sick of them. Let's just go. 48: Who's a mind reader? 2: ...Forget it, 48. Let's go. Andy. Uh... Uh... Uh... I thought you weren't going. 25: /barrels past Andy/ WELL WE CHANGED OUR MINDS. Andy: Uh... Uh... Uh... Well, I'm staying. 13: ....Moron. Max: Weak mind, more like. Let's go. 13: Heh. No kidding. Jared: But now we don't even know where we're going. Erin: When you were born you didn't know where you were going. Kale: Let's head towards that whirpool a little off the island we're on! 2: ...Well then. A whirpool. Such a /grand/ idea. Maybe we'll be able to stop at the gift shop on our way there! Cody: Too late. RUMBLE Cody: Like I said in an alternate version of THIS book, Alternate versions of your dimensions and others relating to yours are now spilling all their contents into this dimension because you're here. Cody: A biodome bomb is going to go off soon. Ari: BARK BARK BARK Ello: BARK BARK bark. Orbit: .....woof. 25: /throws a stick/ GO FETCH. Orbit: .....woof. 25: No? Ok. Erm.. What else can dogs do? Oh yeah. SIT. Orbit: ..........grr.. 25: You guys. It's growling at me. What should I do? Jake: ....Erm...
Angel: FINALLY, they're awake. 2: Wuzzgoinon.. Erin: Wait.. but... What just happened..? Max: Apparently it was all just a dream. Nicholas: WHAT? Uh, from when to when? Max: From when the snatchers snatched Angel to now. Apparently we went without a fight and then forgot all of it. 48: That's insane. Is there any food around here, by any chance? Max: Well, Angels a bird. 48: OK. ....You're right. Angel: .... Sam: Snatchers will be coming any moment now... We have to get out of here Max: we do. Everyone: OK. /everyone starts struggling with their bonds/ Jake: To our dimension? Jared: How do we get there? 25: Wait... Where are we, exactly? Kale: I could probaly free Sam, then he would go back to his original host body and maybe figure out how to free us. It's a long shot, though. /tries to reach for sam/ 13: I'm fairly confused.. But I'm just going to sit and watch, and hope that we find a way out before the snatchers appear. Sam: /reaches for Kale, they brush fingers/ Sam: Whoa. Where am I, dude? Like, what happened? Erin: ...It's a long story. Sam: I was, like, delivering pizza to like, a guy, and the guy like, he like, he like freakin' poked me, man! 25: ...It's a long story. I think we've already made that clear. Anyways, how are we going to get out of here? Nicholas: One plans already in action. I might be able to pick the locks if I have enough time. I've been in a lot of bonds like these. 13: I can help with that. I havent' been in many tight squeezes before, but I've got a /grunts as trying to move arms outward/ lot of /slowly begins to bend the metal/ muscle mass. Jared: I think these are too small for me. Jared: Ugh.......... This is painful. 2: /chants/ 13! 13! 13! 13! 13: /a chain link breaks, 13's chains fall off, mangled and bent/ BAH. Nicholas: /picks the lock/ Finally! Let's break everyone else out. Start with Kale so that if we get snatched... 13: Good idea. /walks over to Kale and pulls on the chain/ Nicholas: /helps/ I feel really, really wimpy. Although I'm probably the most athletic in my group. 13: Well, for one thing, I'm a Bloodhound, and you're a human.. Right? Nicholas: well, yeah, but still... I invested all my strength and stuff in speed and parkour and crap so I could run. It's why i survived so long. Sam: parkour is like, so sweet, it, like, would make me do awesome stuff, man. Max: Sam is really getting on my nerves. Erin: You aren't the only one. Nicholas: Finally! I don't think I'm helping you that much, 13. I'll go to the opposite side and start picking someone's locks. Kale, uh... What do you think you could do? Max: Kale, learn how to pick locks. Kale: OK. thanks, Max. I'll do the same stuff you're doing, Nick. 13: Nice. /begins to free Jared/ Sam: What are you doing, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan? I, like, seriously don't, like, get it, like, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. Max: Gaah! Why did Sam have to put making people quiet on the forbidden list? 2: He's REALLY annoying. But you don't need to have force to make people quiet. Neccessarily. Hey 13? 13: What. 2: Do you have something we could use to gag him? 13: ...Why would I have something like that..? 2: Well... I don't know. But you might. 13: I don't. /frees Jared/
Max: well, yeah, you don't HAVE to use force, but I'm so used to it. Nicholas: pfft. You could say that again. /frees Max/ Kale: Yeah. /frees Erin/ But you could still make yourself useful by using force to teach everyone we just freed how to pick locks. Max: Good idea. Except that I can't force myself to do anything, and Erin can't listen to me. Erin: I can, but I don't. Max: Really?? So what if I put a subtle intention in the words "learn how to pick a lock" while you let me do it and instead said " Listen to me by learning how to pick a lock"? Erin: Then I think I'd learn how to pick a lock. Jake: Erm.. Anyways... Am I not the only one here who doesn't like being chained up? Can we hurry this up a bit? Max: No. Kale: Uh... something's happening upstairs. Erin, me and you are the only ones that can't get snatched here. Well, actually, I can, but then you could just make me poke myself and I'd be free. Let's try to hold them off. Nicholas: /frees 25/ Kale: /frees 48/ 48: /is freed/ YAY. Max: Uh, what happened to Angel? Sam: I was like, watching her, and she, she like, she like poofed, man. She like poofed. 2: That's great Sam, but we need to get back to the point. Where'd Angel go? 25: Uh.. 2, I think that was what he was just talking about. 2: Well don't judge me if I can't understand him. Kale and Erin: /go upstairs and start freeing snatchers/ Bob: Guys! Sheesh, I'm back! couldn't you wait any longer? I seriously bound all the snatchers up there and came down, and you look at me like you don't know me? Max: Uh, Sam, to prevent further embarassment, hurry up and poke Sam. Sam: OK. /pokes Sam/ Sam: Wow, that was really wierd. What just happened? And why am I still bound? Nicholas: Oh, sorry. You're the last one. Let's all hurry and help. I seriously doubt that any of us plain humans can do much damage to those chains though. 13: ....Erm... /tugs at Sam's chains awkwardly/ Kale: So... Why aren't any other bloodhounds helping? And if I said that about a person, that would sound really stuck-up, but in this situation... 13: /stares around accusingly/ That's a very, VERY good question. WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE DOING ANYTHING HERE? 48: .... Because... Because... Because.... Uh... 2: /facepalm/ Nicholas: Hey, I helped pick the locks and stuff like that! 13: I was talking to the Bloodhounds, I appreciate your help, Nick. /chuckles/ We should play cards sometime or something. Jake: Do any of you know how Erin and Kale are doing upstairs? Jared: Uh... Defending us? Wait, oh, crap. Snatchers: /storm downstairs, with snatched Kale and holding Erin away from her/ 25: This could be problematic. 2: ... Erin: /muffled by a gag/ GET KALE TO POKE HERSELF. AND I FOUND A GAG. Jared: /Dives through the crowd but gets snatched/ 2: Hey.. Is there an exit down here? It's getting kind of stuffy. Nicholas: /Starts climbing the wall, slowly/ Max: No one poke me! Snatchers: /poke her/ Max: Ugh, Ugh, erm............ /tries to poke 48/ 48: /takes a step away/ .... 13: Get away from her, 48, she's been snatched. 48: Obviously. But.. Where is this 'away' you speak of? Nicholas: /Jumps at Kale from a window high on the wall/ YAAAAH! /gets snatched but also gets Kale to poke herself/ Kale: Whoaa!!! /starts poking snatchers/ 48: /is seemingly sucked into the mass of snatchers by the doorway, is snatched/ 13: GAH-/is poked by 48/ Nicholas /gets freed/ Yes! It worked! Wait, it did work, right? Kale: Yeah. Hurry up and... uh... Well... I guess you can't really do anything right now. So... uh.... Uh... /meanwhile keeps poking snatchers and Nick, who keeps getting snatched/ Kale: /pokes Jared/ Jared: Yes! it worked! Wait, it did work, right? Kale: Actually, no. Jared: Darn. Nicholas: How are we /is snatched/ /is unsnatched/ going to unsnatch /is snatched/ /is unsnatched/ the bloodhounds? /is snatched/ /is unsnatched/ Kale: Well, it will be hard. /groups of freed people start running, a few of them escape each time before being snatched again/ Jake: KALE JUST RUN AROUND AND FREE PEOPLE. /is snatched and unsnatched over and over again/ Kale: /listens/ /all the humans are freed/ Max: Gah! That was REALLY, REALLY painful. Kale: Uh, sorry? Max: No, me being snatched. Jared: Now we have to get the bloodhounds... Erin: How....? /2, 48, and 13 all run around madly/ Nicholas: Wow, they're fast. I can't even believe I was comparing myself to them a second ago. Kale: Heh. How do I get to them? Nicholas: I don't.. /is snatched by 13/ Kale: Uh... what? Nicholas: /pokes Kale and Erin/ Erin: Ow. Nicholas: /collapses to the ground, twitching like Sam/ Erin: /makes Kale poke herself again/ Kale: Whoa! Again? Erin: Yeah. Erin: /stares at Nick/ Whoa--! /stands in front of 13, who pokes her, and falls to the ground, twitching Kale: Good idea! I poke people and free them, but people poke you and free themselves. Although they're not exactly free... /looks at a spazming nicholas/ Erin: ..Pretty much.. /stands in front of 48, is poked, 48 falls over and twitches/ /does the same for 2/ Max: Uh, guys? /25 starts to poke Max/ Sam: It's not like I can help Jared: It sucks not being Kale sometimes. Max: Just stop talking. Max: Not again! Gah! Ugh...... /etc./ Max: /tries to get Erin/ Erin: AUGH! /slaps Max, who falls over and twitches/ Kale: Just 25 left. I'll try to get her /runs towards 25, who's like 100 times faster/ 25: /tries to poke Kale/ Kale: Darn. Didn't think of that. /Is poked/ Kale and 25: /run towards Erin/ Erin: ... /is slammed into/ /Kale and 25 fall over and twitch/ Nicholas: Ugh.... I feel sick. What happened? Erin: To you? Or to everyone? Nicholas: Uh... Is there a difference? Erin: Nope. Nicholas: Well, come on! what happened? Erin: Okay, so, apparently, I can free people when they poke me... But... They kind of... They get knocked out, I guess. Nicholas: No, I definitely wasn't knocked out. It felt like the snatcher was being tugged out of me, except that the opening it was being tugged out through was circular, and it was a square. Does that make any sense? Erin: ...I guess.. 13: /slowly staggers to feet/ Whoa... Erm... Can someone explain what just happened..? Erin: ... I wish I had waited a second longer to explain. Just.... Ugh. Nicholas: You didn't even explain anything though. Erin: I can free people when they poke me. It's apparently much more forceful than Kale freeing someone, though.. Nicholas: No duh. That's the understatement of the century. 13: ....Honestly. So now what.. Do we just wait for people to wake up? Nicholas: I dunno. What's with Max? Max: /is practically exploding with spasms/ Erin: ...Do... Do you think I poked her too hard? Nicholas: NO. Do you think she'll lose mind reading? That's wierd. I just can't picture that. A regular Max. 13: Heh. That's got to be one of the weirdest mental images I've ever had. Other than the one where Erin imagined herself making a cat out of jell-o. Erin: I was hungry, and I saw a cat, but I ddn't want to say 'I wanna eat that cat'. So... Yeah... 13: Ahem. Anyways.. Nicholas: Seriously though. 48 and 2: /stand up suddenly, without any warning/ 2: What... What just happened. 13: You have no idea how tired I am of that question. Nicholas: Pain. Pain just happened. Erin: .... Nicholas: Wow. I'm going to have nightmares about Erin for a long time. 13: Thank goodness I don't sleep. Kale: GAH! WHERE's THE PIZZA, MAAAAAAAN! Kale: /Slowly stands up/ Whoa. What just happened? 13: /gestures to Kale as she asks what happened/ DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN? Nicholas: Pain just happened. Or in your case, pain and delusions. Max: WOW. THAT's THE SECOND TIME I'VE SAID THAT. I WONDER WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF IT. WAIT, IS MAX SAYING MY THOUGHTS? WHAT? ERIN, HURRY AND GET THAT GAG THAT YOU FOUND. I LIKE GAGS.... Nicholas: Gah! Erin, hurry and get Erin: I heard. /pulls a piece of fabric out of her pocket, wads it up and shoves it in Max's mouth/ There we go. Nicholas: phewf. That was embarassing. Erin: Heh. I can see why. 13: Pffftt.. Nicholas: Er.... Is that ALWAYS what Max is hearing? I just barely realized how wierd that is. Erin: You're right, you know. She knows ALL of your DEEPEST SECRETS. /chuckle chuckle/ Kale: She would be great as a stalker. 48: Yeah haha. Max: /pulls of gag/ WHOA. WHY DID I SAY HAHA. IT'S NOT EVEN THAT FUNNY. WAIT, WHY ARE MY THOUGHTS SO LOUD. 13: /stares at 48/ Hey Erin, do us all a favor and put the gag back in her mouth, would you? Erin: /listens to 13/ Kale: Hopefully that's not going to happen again. Wait, 2 things. 1. How did you get here, and 2. Why is Jake acting the same way as Max? Jake: I HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. I WANT TO HURRY UP AND GET HOME SO I CAN PRACTICE MY PARKOUR. WAIT, WHY ARE... OH NO! WAIT, WHAT? WHY DOES JAKE KNOW HOW I'M THINKING? HE'S NOT EXACTLY MAX. WHAT IF A FIRE TRUCK CAME IN HERE RIGHT NOW? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? AND WHY WOULD THEIR BE A FIRE TRUCK IN THE FIRST PLACE? OH CRAP, EVERYONE CAN STILL HERE ME. 13: The fire truck would be here to douse us all in water to try and wake everyone up. This is getting ridiculous. Hey Erin, have another gag? Nicholas: /Starts yelling over his own thoughts/ Erin: /stares blankly at Nick/ ...I like gags...? Nicholas: SOMEONE GET A GAG! I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP YELLING OVER MY OWN THOUGHTS OVER HERE! LALALALALALALALALALALAL HOPEFULLY JAKE WAKES UP SOON BECAUSE MY THROAT'S GETTING SORE! LALALALALALALALAL Max: /spits out the gag/ I REALLY WANT A BIRD RIGHT N---WHAT THE CRAP. 48 and Nicholas: LALALALALALALALALLALALALALALLALA Nichoas: ERIN! HURRY UP! Erin: WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO STUFF A PIECE OF CLOTH INTO THEIR MOUTHS??! YOU ALL HAVE HANDS, TOO, RIGHT?! Nicholas: WE'RE TOO BUSY YELLING! WAIT, Why am I..... what? Erin: /picks up the gag on the ground and shoves it back into Max's mouth./ What are we going to do about Jake? NIcholas: What happened? Kale, tell me. 13: ....What.... Nicholas: Is Kale snatched or something? What happened? 25: ...I'm not sure.. Kale: Uh... I'm not snatched, just FYI Nicholas: Then why aren't you listening to me? It's impossible. I think. 2: Key word: You think. Nicholas: And why am I... Wait, me? WHY AM I OVER THERE SPOUTING OUT NICK'S THOUGHTS? 13: ...Erm... I... I don't... What... Nicholas: WHAT IS HAPPENING? IF I'M OVER THERE, THEN WHO AM I? Erin: We aren't sure. Who are you? Nicholas: Uh, Max. Derr... Who else would be able to recognize Nick's thoughts compared to anyone elses? It's not like anyone else reads minds or anything. 13: /shares a fairly confused look with 25/ Well... Erm... Sorry to burst your bubble, but... Jake. Nicholas: Uh... Why? And how come I can't hear anyone else's thoughts but Nicks? Max: WHOA IT'S ALL BLACK IN HERE, WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE'D EVERYONE GO? Nicholas: Uh..... Erin: ... 13: We're right here, derr. It's not like.. We all just randomly dissappeared or something. Max: Umm... Oh, wow. SORRY! /concentrates for a second/ Nicholas: Whoa. What just happened? I like, lost all of my senses for a second. 2: I'm not... What... Wait... I'm... You.... What.. Max: There we go. I thought something was wrong. 25: ....Glitchy system. Max: Uh, sorry, Nicholas, for a second I imposed my memories and personality on you, so you thought you were me, while giving you an additional memory of you thinking. Uh... Hehe.... Uh....Uh... Uh.... I think I'll just turn into Andy now. 48: Ok. Erm.. Wait.. Turn into Andy? Is Andy even here? Max: No, but I mean, Andy was always saying Uh. I think I'll just wipe all your minds to prevent the emberassment. Okay, everyone forget the past 5 minutes. Everyone but Erin: OK. Max: Oh, CRAP! Erin, please don't tell anyone. Nicholas: Tell them what? Erin: Nothing. Max: THANK YOU Kale: For what? Erin: For your face. Just forget it. Anyways, what's Jake doing? Max: Heh. forget it. ironic. Kale: I'm not really sure. Why isn't he awake yet? 13: It's been like... ten minutes. Erin: Actually 15. 13: .... Jake: BAAAAAAAAAAAAH 48: Erm... Jake: /stands up/ Jared: Finally. Sam: I know. For some reason we haven't been able to talk at all. Really, reallly wierd. Max: .... Jake: /rubs head/ Ugh. I have a headache. What just happened? 13: ..stupid question.. Max: Long story. So, how can you read minds again? Oh crap, why'd I say that? Jake: Heh. When Cody and Andy snatched me, I guess, I was turned 1/16th snatcher, since you're a quarter and you snatched cody and Andy, whoever they are. Oh, crap. Forget I said that. Everyone but Erin: OK. Max: I feel like something just happened. Something really important. Oh well. Erin: /bursts out laughing/ Nicholas: What? Jared: Somethings happening that we don't know anything about.... Hey, Sam, what if Max possessed Nicholas, then made everyone forget except Erin couldn't forget, then Jake revealed that he could read minds too, but made everyone forget THAT? Sam: That would be really funny. It would never happen though. 13: The probability of all of that happening in the past 5 minutes is really really low. Nicholas; Nope. that never happened. Although I do have a headache.... And a few really wierd memories of me as a kid, but not me. Max: Uh... Like what? Nicholas: Like me playing wizards with a bunch of other girls (wierd, huh?) and then casting a spell and they all listened. It was wierd. Maybe that's a memory of a dream or something. Max: Uh... Hehe. Anything else? Nicholas: A ton. It's too much for my brain to comprehend. They're all really wierd memories though. Max: oh. Darn it. Erin: /trying to hold in laughter/ Jake: ...Erm... Erin? Is something wrong? 48: You look like you're going to explode. Nicholas: My head IS going to explode. Erin: /runs out of the room, saying something about a bathroom/ /from outside the hallway everyone hears an explosion of laughter/ Max: If only I knew why she was laughing.... I know some of it, but... WAIT! Someone wiped my mind! But who would or could do that? Jake: /shifty eyes/ Max: I can read everyone's mind but Erins's, just FYI. No secrets from me! Wow, that's creepy. But still! 13: Max is the ideal stalker. Kale: I feel like I've heard that before.... Erin: /walks back in and sits in a corner/ Sam: Well, we've wasted enough time here. Let's go. And why is the sun so low? I feel like part of today was just... stolen? Erin: ......... Jared: Come on! Let's go! Nicholas: It's fun here though. Max: Come on! let's go! Everyone but Erin: OK. Erin Ok. Max: Wait.... It was JAKE!!! JAKE.... Did something, but I just lost it again. I HAD it! GAH! It's on the tip of my tongue! Jake: /grins/ Erin: /snickers/ 13: /walks towards the doorway/ So are we leaving, or what? Jared: It might be too late now. Nicholas: Nonsense! If we go out there now, we'll be able to catch fireflies! They'll be easy to see! Maybe one will actually be a fairy! Wait, uh... What did I just say? Well, anyways, it's too dark to go out there now. We'd be found easily by snatchers. 48: /stares/ 13: /sits down against a wall./ So... now what? Max: /grins, then notices Erin's grin and frowns/ Max: I still think I'm missing something... Erin: Maybe I'll... No. Nope, nevermind. 2: /twitches/ ERIN. WHY.. WHY WONT YOU TELL US?! Erin: Cause I'm awesome. 2: .... Nicholas: Wish I could tell you that you weren't, but unfortunately, you won't listen to me. Wait............. Ugh................ Um................. Uh.......... 13, do you want to learn parkour upstairs? 13: Sure, why not? 48: ...Subject change, much? Nicholas: What do you mean by that? And no, I'm not bipolar like I've heard you t..... Wait............. Ugh................ Um................. Uh.......... Well, c'mon 13. I have the strangest feeling right now....... Sam: We're just going to have to stay here through the night, so we might as well do something. Can I come? /stares at Nicholas suspiciously, trying to figure him out, then glances at max/ 13: /snorts/ Erin: Well, if we're staying here for the night, we should figure out if there's anything here that we can do. 48: /stomach rumbles/ Jake: 48, if Angel were here, I would let you eat her. But unfortunately, she's dissappeared. 2: She was weird. 25: She was almost as weird as you. 2: Hey! 25: /grins/ /Nick, 13, and Sam go upstairs, Sam still staring at Nick/ Kale: I have a feeling that I'm going to be either really bored, or really.... intrigued, for lack of a better word, by the end of the night. Jake: Yeah. /yawns/ I'm tired. Max: Whoa! Sam, don't think stuff like that! You are disgusting! Nah, just kidding. Erin: Okay then.. That scared me for a sec.. Max: I love playing that one. Nicholas: WHOAA!! /falls through the ceiling/ Max: OW! Oh wait, It's Nick and not me... That REALLY hurt though. He's, like, dead with pain 2: .....What just happened.. 13 (from upstairs): STUPID QUESTION. Nicholas: (after recovering) 13, A .... Litttle bit easier.... on the.... punches.... please.... 13: Sorry. Kale: OK then. Jared: Sam, do you know what you're host is like? Sam: Uh, no.... What do you mean? Kale: Nothing. He doesn't mean anything. I'm serious. Jared: Uh, why? Kale: NOTHING 25: Jared, just, just.. JUST DON'T SAY ANYTHING. NO ONE WANTS TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. Max: I really hated that. Ugh.... 2: /imitating/ LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE HE LIKE LIKE HE YEAH. LIKE A, LIKE... (etc) Max: /Narrows her eyes/ Hey, what the? Someone's reading my /her eyes unfocus then refocus/ What was I saying? 25: Someone's reading my. Max: Oh. Well, I don't really know why I would say something like that... Jake: /blinks/ Erin: /announces/ I'M TIRED.
2: And.. And we really needed to know that... Erin: No, not that, we need to figure out where everyone is going to stay. I don't want to stay in a basement room, just in case Nick flies through the roof again. Nicholas: WHAAAA /falls through his own hole/ A little bit easier on the pushes, 13. Max: I'm really confused all of a sudden........ What? Why? Erin: ....What.... 13: Sorry, Nick. Again. Max: No, it's not that.......... /eyes start vibrating/ 25: I..... I'm..... You're.... I don't.... I.... What... It's not what? Max: There we go! I made an extermination order for myself. Jake, don't give me any more orders. Jake: OK. Max: I commanded myself (heh) to use up all my, uh, mind reading energy, uh, I guess, and then when it was used up I would be knocked out, to figure out all my missing memories. And by the way, Jake's a mind reader. All except Erin: WHAATT..... Max: Erin knows. Erin: Yep. Max: Well, come on! I just set you up! Jake: /facepalm/ Max: Meanie. /realizes she's a hypocrite/ Jake: /s******s/ Max: Uh... I'm a little pooped from that. Jake, could you give everyone else their memories back? Jake: Everyone... Erm, REMEMBER. Everyone but Erin: OK. Nicholas:Uh, whoa. NOW I get why I've been acting so wierd. Uh... Wierd. Uh............ Jake: Heh. Yeah.. Erin: /bursts out laughing/ Nicholas: I don't think I'll ever live this down. And I'll be so much less popular if I don't! What a quandary! O h no! WAit... Ah, come on! Can everyone just not listen to me when I do that? 13: Well.. It's kind of hard. Max: /smile-frown/ /Is emberassed but mischeivious/ 2: Erm.. Yeah. Erin: /yawns/ So... Sleeping arrangements? Nicholas: I'm not going anywhere near that hole.... It was so, like, painful when I fell down! I felt like crying! 13: /mumbles/ Sorry... Nicholas: Oh.. uh... Guys, just STOP LISTENING TO ME! Nicholas: This sucks... Jared: You could say that again Nicholas: This sucks. AHAHAHAHAHA I said something funny! now everyone will like me! 25: ...Right then.. Nicholas: Again, this sucks. Sam: /pokes Nick and Kale, making it so they can get some sleep while their bodies keeps watch/ Sam: Let's go to bed now. /pokes Erin on purpose and collapses/ Erin: /flinches/ Erm.. Okay then. /walks out of the room and goes upstairs/' Max: Erin, the sleep machine! Let's all give her a hand! /pokes Erin on purpose and collapses/ Erin: BAHHHHH-- Jared: That's all well and good for them, but how do us non-snatchers get to bed? I'm going to be sleeping near a bunch of bloodhounds and random people, none of which I really know. 13: The funny thing is, BLOODHOUNDS DON'T SLEEP. Jared: Even worse. /pokes Sam, same thing as kale and Nick/ Sam: Why am I awake so soon? Wait, oh. BAH. /pokes Erin/ Erin: G'night.
/Bloodhounds go upstairs and keep watch by the doorway(s?)/
Next morning... Sam: Bah. I feel sick. I'm not ever making sleep arrangements that way again. Max: Same here. Jared: Ugh....... That really hurt. /Nicholas and Kale stumble in from outside/ Sam: sorry. /frees them/ Nicholas: Gah! /sees 13 right by him, trips backwards/ Nicholas: Oh. 13: /chuckles/ 48: Heh. Nicholas: Let's wait here a little longer, wait till it's full day. 13, are you up for more boxing? I want to show you one of my favorite punch techniques 13: Okay then. Heh. Should we do it outside, this time? Just so that you don't... I dunno, crash through the floor or anything again. Nicholas: yeah.
Outside
Nicholas: Try putting your hand like this. /curls third finger joint and thrusts out wrist/ 13: /follows instruction/ Ah. Nicholas: Let's play. Try only punching like this. /feebly punches thirteen/ 13: /punches Nick/ Nicholas: /flies back a little, than rubs his shoulder/ OW! Are you like, holding a needle or something? 13: ....Oh....Oh crap.... Lemme see your shoulder. /walks over to Nick/ Nicholas: Uh, ok, but it's not like you're a doctor or anything.... Do you have like a horn or a splinter on your wrist or something? heh. splinter transfer. 13: Not exactly... /moans as he sees Nick's shoulder/ Prepare for something that is a bit unpleasant. Nicholas: What do you mean? You're creeping me out. I'm not like, dying from the needle. Let's keep going. I'm not THAT badly hurt. 13: It won't kill you, but your shoulder might start burning. A lot. Nicholas: Seriously, you're creeping me out. I'm not like, FLAME ON! and then my shoulder bursts into flames. 13: /turns his wrist towards Nick so he can see the sharp spurlike thing on his wrist/ Nicholas: Uh... Ok, so you have a horn. On your wrist. Let's just not use this technique any more. FLAME ON! 13: might be a good idea. Anyways.. If your shoulder does start stinging, just let me know. Nicholas: That's sort of funny, as soon as I shouted FLAME ON my shoulder started burning.... Uh... Whats happening? 13: ...Did falling through the celing/ground screw up your nerves or something?! Your shoulder is BURNING. And you aren't reacting. Nicholas: OW OW OW OW OW UH.. OW OW YOOOOW NO! CRAP IT SCREW IT CRAP IT SCREW IT THIS HURTS 13: ...Yeah.. Thought you would say that.. Well, anyways, right now, you're getting enhanced senses. You're going to be able to see in the dark a little bit, have better senses of hearing and scent. Nicholas: OW OW OW OW BUT OW OW OW THAT OW OW OW DOESN'T EVEN OW OW OW MAKE OW SENSE! 13: Bloodhounds have... Poison, I guess. But it's not poisonous.. It's a chemical that enhances some of your senses. Nicholas: OWOW WELL THAT's VERY OW OW NICE OW BUT WHEN WILL IT OW END?! 13: More than likely in the next minute or so. Nicholas: What? A hole.... Nother.... Minute?! 13: Within the next minute. It could be fifteen seconds, for all I know. Nicholas: Too...Long...For...Me.... /runs in and pokes Sam/ Nicholas: OW! WHat the heck? Erin: /stares at Nick./ 13???????????? NIcholas: OWOWOW /pokes Erin/ Nicholas: /collapses/ Erin: /stares at Nick for a second, than glares at 13, who has just entered the room/ Erin: WHAT DID YOU DO? 13: ....I... I kind of.... 48: .... 13: NICK iS A MUTT. 48: /gasp/ Kale: What's a mutt? Nick obviously isn't a dog. 13: He's going to have enhanced senses. The only problem with that, is that most of the other Bloodhounds don't like mutts. So.. He'll be.. Nicholas: Unpopular? But I don't want to! Wait... Ugh.... collapses again. 13: No, he'll be hunted. By the other Bloodhounds. Sam: Well, that's hardly a threat since we're in a whole FREAKING OTHER DIMENSION. 13: That's what I was getting at. Jared: Uh... I don't get it. There are MORE bloodhounds? Sam: My life got a lot more interesting when I snatched Sam. 2: Obviously. There are 62. Only five of them are good. But 7 dissappeared. And we still don't know where he went. Jared: Uh... This reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what it is. Max: Now you know how I feel. 25: Anyways... I think Nick will be coming around in a few minutes.. Nicholas: Ugh..... Wow. bloodhound poison plus with Erin anti-snatcher mixture equals intense pain. 13: You aren't....burning....anymore, right? Nicholas: I dunno. Hard to tell from Erin's type of pain. More Nightmare's for me! yippeee. Jake: ....Yay.. Nicholas: Ugh. /stands up/ 48: ...Is there any- Jake: 48, don't say it. 48: But I'm- Jake: NO. Erin: ...what...? Max: c'mon 48, say it. (that's not an order) Nicholas: Wow. 13, you are REALLY beating me up. 13: Maybe playing cards WAS a better idea. Erm... I'm sorry. 48: Can we pleassee-- Jake: NO. Nicholas: Uh.... Never thought I'd hear that sentence from you. Well, after the initial pain, I'm probably better off anyway. 13: I'm not even sure why I suggested it in the first place. I don't like cards. Nicholas: Neither do I. /totters upstairs/ 48: PLEASEEE..... Jake: NO. (AND THATS AN ORDER.) 48: OK. 2: Heh. Poor 48. Max: 48's thoughts are making me hungry. Nicholas: well, I'm going to go find something. 48: To eat? Nicholas: No, silly, to play with! We'll have so much fun! Nicholas: No duh, to eat. Wait, what did i just say? Erin: ....Anyways... 48: /tags along with Nick/ Max: I'll come too. Nicholas: It might be easier if just we go... You might slow us down. But my mom always said to stop and smell the roses! WE could play with unicorns! 13: /snort/ 48: /doesn't notice the 'but my mom always said' part/ But... But... But... BUT I DONT LIKE ROSES. Nicholas: Gah! I hate this! Max: /smiles/ That's my memory! /pats Nick's head/ 25: Heh. 48: /stomach growls/ /whimpers/ Can we go look for food? Nicholas: YAY! LET'S GO! Nicholas: Let's go. Wait, Uh... Remember when I said not to listen to me? Max: /pats Nick's head again/ Nicholas: That is REALLY annoying, Max. 25: You know you like the attention. Nicholas: Because of HER, probably. Max: More like definitely. Nicholas: grr. Well, let's go. I'm really hungry. Max: So am I coming? Nicholas: NO. I alread have enough Max with me. Jared: Wait.... Oh! I get it! HAHAHA Sam: took you a while. 48: Honestly. Nicholas: Well then, let's go! /Nicholas and 48 go for food/ Kale: Uh... Now what? Max: I dunno. Jared: We could Max: WAIT! We could look for a better shelter! Jared: That's what I was going to say. Max: exactly. 13: Sounds good. We just need to make sure Nick and 48 know where we are. 25: No we don't. ..Just kidding. Max: Seriously, though. What would they do without us? Jared: I feel needed. 13: They'd do everything without us. Including not get beat up. Sam: Or turned into mutts. That arent dogs. What would happen if we cloned Nick right now? 13: That would be weird. Two Nick's. Jared: Actually we did clone him a while ago. Then the clones got loose.
With 48 and Nicholas Nicholas: Who's that? Nicholas: Who are you? 48: Whoa. Erm. What.. I'm confused. Nicholas: What is THAT?! Nicholas: Hungry. Who are you? Wait, I already know. 48: ....There are.... Two of you... Nicholas: /Runs towards Nicholas, trying to poke him/ Nicholas: /dodges/ Whoa! A little, help, 48? I think this guy's a snatcher! 48: /Stares at them confusedly/ Nicholas: /tries to poke Nicholas again/ Nicholas: /barely dodges/ A LITTLE BIT OF HELP??? I WILL KILL YOU IF I GET SNATCHED. LITERALLY! Nicholas: /pokes Nicholas/ /They advance on 48/ 48: Great. Now I have a death sentence. 48: /runs back to the hideout/ /Nicholases follow/ Nicholases: /surround 48/ 48: Guys? Where are you?! Nicholases: /close in/ 48: /runs in one direction, hides, then doubles back/ Nicholases: /look in the first direction/ 48: Phew. 48: /runs outside, calling for the group confusedly/ Nicholases: /run farther in the wrong direction, keep going/ 48: /sniffs air, runs towards human scent/ GUYS?! 48: /finds a field of roses/ Well, this is ironic. Max: Guys, smell the roses. Everyone but Erin: OK. 48: /smells a rose, then runs towards them/ GUYS. There you are! Kale: Srry, we couldn't tell you, we were /makes a choking sound and grabs throat/ Max: We were going to play a prank on you. Jared: Wait, what? We were? Oh yeah. Kale: /makes another, bigger choking sound/ /shakes head/ 48: Er... OK. But anyways, NICK WAS SNATCHED. He had a clone, and he was chasing me. Kale: What?! Sorry we couldn't have helped, but /makes a HUGE choking sound/ /helplessly gestures to Max/ 48: /looks at Max and back at Kale/ WHAT IS GOING ON?! Kale: /chokes again/ Sam: /concentrates hard/ 48: /is confused/ 25: /chuckles to self/ 2: /snorts/ Jake: /Reads Max's thoughts and suppresses a loud laugh/ Sam: /face lights up but then looks confused again/ We were /chokes/ Jake: /Looks at 48/ Should... Should we just tell him we /gags loudly/ Jared: /coughs a little through the whole thing/ Ax-May old-tay u-say oo-tay of-nay ell-tay oo-yay out-bay ow-hay ee-way /suddenly looks confused/ OK. Wait, what? Max: /grins/ Kale: At-whay? Jared: What does that mean? 48: What? 2: /facepalms/ Sam: FINALLY! Max told us not to tell you that we were finding a new /looks confused again, then starts speaking binary/ Max: I just figured out how to control people without saying anything. Cool, huh? Everyone but Erin: /looks confused then nod in approval/ Erin: /grins/ Jake: Cool... 48: /is still confused/ will someone tell me what's going on?! Everyone but Max: /looks at Erin/ Jared: /tackles Erin, forcing her into Max/ Yes! It worked! Max: No... Ugh... Gaa.... /collapses, twitching/ Kale: Max told us not to tell you that we abandoned the shelter to find a new one. 48: Oh.... Why didn't she want me to know..? /stares at Max suspiciously/ Sam: I dunno. Max: GAAH! IT BURNS! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! The snatcher queen won't like this... Sam: Whose thoughts are those? Jared: /shrugs/ I dunno. 25: /blinks/ 2: that's wierd... 25: Erm... anyways, I don't think a field of roses will be a very good shelter. Kale: Let's find a better one.
MEANWHILE
Nicholas: /wakes up in the middle of nowhere/ /sees bloodhounds walking away/ What the? /looks around, notices dead clone/ I better bring that into the open so they think I died... /starts wandering/ 1 month later Nicholas: A draveler! I may not have found the refuge, but I can find the bloodhounds. /walks in/ 48th dimension Nicholas: Where am I? /looks around/ A cave. Huh. Well, there's the exit. Hey look, a table! Jake: /sitting at table/ Go fish Erin: /picks up a card/ Darn. Nicholas: (I think I'm gonna figure play a few pranks before I reveal myself. I'll find 13, though.) Jake: It's kind of funny, I've been hearing random thoughts from people. I wonder what they've been doing in their dimension lately. Nicholas: /takes a running start and slides under table while they're distracted/ (13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13.) Jake: I'm hearing something. Erin: ...? Jake: 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. Erin: What? Jake: That's what I'm hearing. Nicholas: (13's location. 13's location. (And so on and so on)) Jake: ...This is wierd. NIcholas: (Come on! Say 13's location!) Jake: Bah! Someone wants me to tell them where 13 is. Erin: Well then... Why don't you tell them? Erin: Because I don't know where they are. Nicholas: (What?! Darn it! Where could he be?) Jake: UGH. Fine! 13's probably at the lab. Or in the forest. Or something. Erin: ... Nicholas: (I'm in your head. LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA) (Where IS he?) Jake: Well I'm feeling very idiotic at the moment. I'm not exactly sure where 13 is. Nicholas: (Bah! Then order me to find him or I'll annoy you.) Jake: GO FIND 13 THEN. Nicholas: OK. Thanks! Erin: ... Ok then. Jake: That was wierd... It sounded almost like... But no, nevermind, that's not possible. Nicholas: /dashes out to find 13/ /feels a little dopy, not being used to orders any more/ 26: Who... Who's that? /points at Nick/ 62: Whoa... Didn't we already stab him?! He was... Dead! Nicholas: Hey guys! /keeps going/ 26: What...?! Nicholas: I'm looking for 13. Want to come? 62: /grins/ Hear that, guys? He's looking for 13. Bad Bloodhounds: /murmur darkly/ Nicholas: Well, see ya later then. /stumbles, then rights himself/ /shakes his head then keeps going/ 22: Well, what do you say we follow him? 62: SHUT UP. NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO. But really, that's a great idea. We follow him. And if you don't-Filthy maggots-Your eyes will be torn out. Understand? Nicholas: /yells back/ Fine by me! Bad bloodhounds: /murmur excitedly/ This could be our chance to capture 13. NIcholas: /while running and sniffing and looking around and such/ Thirteen! Thirtee-een! 13: /standing on a rock/ What? Nick! What? Nicholas: Oh! Wait, exactly what time in the morning? Hey, I didn't know there were so many bloodhounds. Jake ordered me to find you, so I did. 13: Wait... But... /sees other bloodhounds/ NIIICCCKK! RUN! Nicholas: Why? 13: SURVIVAL FIRST, EXPLANATION LATER. Nicholas: Er... Um... OK. /starts running/ 13: (What am I thinking? He can't outrun ALL of them.) /picks Nick up and runs/ Nicholas: Uh... This is wierd... Uh... /starts picking up rocks and throwing them/ 13: /thinking quick, runs for the lab/ /yells the first thing that comes to mind/ PARKOUR, NICK. /begins to climb the wall/ Nicholas: Something I CAN do! /climbs up/ 13: /chuckles darkly/ Nicholas: Why... Are we running? 13: There are good bloodhounds, and bad bloodhounds. You pretty much just asked the bad ones to hunt you down. Nicholas: Oh. /reaches the top/ 13: Yep. /sits on roof/ Thank goodness 62 is so stupid. Otherwise he might go to the top floor and climb through that hole I made the other day... Nicholas: Now would be a good time for my Max-ness to come into play. 13: You said it. I wonder where they are... Speaking of which, do they know you're here? Nicholas: No. I was snatched and lost them, but came across a draveler after walking a TON. I'm still not up to my usual strength yet. When I woke up, my (now dead) clone had a bunch of stab marks in him, and I saw bloodhounds in the distance. I think they stabbed him enough that the snatcher in him retreated, and because he snatched me I was freed too. Except that I woke up a while after I was freed. 13: Oh... Er... OK...Anyways, the bad ones have circled the laboratory. If we can get them over to one corner, we might be able to get down and run for it. the chances are slim, though. Nicholas: Or we could just jump over them. I've done it before, except with snatchers and the compound. 13: Bloodhounds are fast. Nicholas: Thanks for reminding me of THAT. /Looks annoyed/ 13: Er.. Anyways... They aren't exactly something you could just jump over. What if we went through the lab? Nicholas: Although a touch from a bloodhound won't kill you. Aren't the bloodhounds surrounding the lab anyway? 13: ... Yes. Nicholas: Another good time for Maxness. I wonder if I could try to turn into Max? 13: Try all you want, I doubt it will happen. Nicholas: /concentrates/ 13: /watches intently/ Nicholas: /slumps over, limp/ 13:... Crud. Nicholas: What? Is that? Is that Nicholas? THEY KILLED NICK! This rock has 13's DNA on it! 13 KILLED NICK! LET'S GET THEM! 13: /drags Nick over to the side of the roof, putting him in the hole in the wall and climbing in after him/ Nicholas: Wait... Someone's reading my mind... One sec, guys. /Stands up/ Uh... What? Where... 13: Urg. /Carries NIck downstairs, running through the door and bursting outside/ NIcholas: stop carrying me! YOU KILLED NICK! 13: /stares at Nick and puts him down/ ...? /looks around at all of the advancing bloodhounds and runs to the entrance of the lab, picks up a small bomb and throws it at the nearest clump of bloodhounds/ Nicholas: /looks evil/ 13 killed Nick! Everyone GET HIM! 13: /stares at Nick then realizes who it really is/ MAX. They're already trying to do that! Don't make it WORSE. Nicholas: Well then GOOD FOR THEM. Get him! 13: (As much as I hate to do this...) /picks up 'Nick' and launches him back onto the roof/ Nicholas: Gaah! /bonks his head/ 13: /begins to fend off teh bloodhounds/ Max I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS. Nicholas A: Whoa! 13, what happened? 13: /chuckles darkly/ Let's just say something went horribly wrong with the experiment, and now I'm fighting off my own... Species. Nicholas A: I'll get 48 and tell... Who's his friend? I'll ask him. 13: Jake Pardas. Nicholas A: K! Fight them off! /runs off/ 13: /fights them off/ 48: /tackles a bloodhound from behind and shoves white powder in his face, which melts grotesquely/ DIE. Nicholas: I guess it didn't work. How are we going to.. /looks over the edge/ Uh.. Um.. What... I don't... 13: Long story. I'd stay up there if I were you. Nicholas: YOU'RE NOT. /Jumps down, landing on a bloodhound/ 13: GAH. 48, CAN I HAVE SOME BIRD? Nicholas: /runs out of the fight feeling useless/ Bird? 48: This isn't lunch time?! 13: No, you daft-minded moron, the BONES. 48: Right... /throws a small bag full of powder to 13/ Nicholas: Uh... What... Do I do?... This is awkward. 48: /throws a bag of bone to Nick/ Nicholas: /sees what they're doing/ /copies/ 13: Good! /Continues to throw powder at bad bloodhounds/ Nicholas: What happened? Why....? I concentrated and then everyone teleported. /throws a pinch/ 48: Sorry, I can't explain that. 13: Heh. Welcome back. Max happened. Nicholas: Oh. /Immediately understands/ OK, then. Let's get outta here. 13: /grins/ Let's go. 48: Sounds good. Nicholas: /running/ Don't tell anyone I'm here. 13: Planning on playing some tricks on people? /grins/ Nicholas: How did you know? 13: Well, first of all, You're Nick. Nicholas: True... Let's find Jake. 48: He's at his house, in the kitchen with Erin. 13: Nice. Nicholas: How long is it until Jake usually goes to bed? 48: It depends. Tonight, because all day today he's been doing work around the house, probably around nine thirty. 13: Anyone have a watch? What time is it? Nicholas: I can tell from the sun. /Glances up/ It's 9. Heh. I knew you would know, 48. You're almost as good a stalker as Max. 48: I'm not sure what to say to that. /Mock-bows/ Nicholas: OK. So here's the plan. /whispers to 48 and 13/ 13: Sounds good. Nicholas: /climbs up the house/ You do know which room he is, right? 48: No duh. /leads them to a window by the corner of the house/ Nicholas: 48, you start giving him the dream. I'll make sure his mom doesn't come up. /walks downstairs/ /puts tomorrow's breakfast in the oven and turns it on/ 48: /begins to think/ Nicholas: /slinks back upstairs and helps/ 13: OK. I think we're good. Nicholas: Well then let's go. /starts running/ 48: /picks Jake up and runs alongside Nick/ 10 minutes later Nicholas: Start hooking his head up to those tubes. 13: Sticks a tube onto his head/ Do you think coming into the lab at night was such a great idea? There might be... Hey 48, do you remember those snakes... With wings? What were they called, again? 48: I can't remember... Scarlet would know, though. 13: ... Anyways. Nicholas: whatever. Let's turn on the movie. 48: On it. /walks over to a computer and puts a disc in the CD-ROM Everyone: /starts watching the scene where everything's just a dream and thinking about it/ Jake: Ma-mm. Uh. /stirs/ Nicholas: Uh-oh. Any sedatives in here? 13: Are you kidding? We're in a lab. It's finding them that's the problem. Nicholas: We need them NOW. 48: Found some. /holds up a bright orange canister/ Nicholas: Erm... Are you sure that's a sedative? 48: You look at it. /throws it to Nick/ Nicholas: /fumbles it and drops it/ /it shatters/ Oh... 13: Someone should keep watch just in case Marston shows up with a rifle. I've been in his office before and he has like... three up there. Nicholas: I will. tell me how this all works out. /walks out/ 48: /Begins to shake Jake awake/ Jake: Whazzgoinon... 48: Hello, Jake. You are an experiment. All of your memories have been simulated. Earth has been taken over by the bloodhounds. Your friend Erin is the leader of the resistance. She was a former experiment, but escaped long before we could do any damaged. You have just been awakened. Welcome to Earth. 13: /walks to wear Nick is/ Nicholas: How's the prank coming? 13: Er... I dunno. /walks back into the room./ Jake: what? But... But... But that's impossible! Nicholas: I am experiment one. I, also, dreamt the simulator. You may know me as Nicholas. Jake: I do know you! But... AUGH. I'm so confused. 48: What is there to be confused about? You're an experiment. Nicholas: since my training has initiated, my overall muscle has gone up by two hundred percent. My mental capacities have gone up one hundred twenty five percent. 13: His trainer is waiting. 48: Now, Jake, are you going to come quietly or will we have to force you to come with us? Jake: I don't- AUGHH! WHAT IS THAT?! /points at a flying snake/ Nicholas: That is your trainer. Your first challenge is to capture him. Jake: ... HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CATCH A NINE-FOOT LONG ANACONDA THAT FLIES?! 13: With butterfly nets, of course. Nicholas: You already knew that. /starts thinking of the movie/ 13 and 48: /do the same/ Nicholas: /suppresses a smile/ Jake: ... Nicholas: Your trainer won't kill you. He will just struggle all he can. 13: /shares a worried glance with 48/ Jake: BUT I JUST GOT HERE. 13: OK. WAIT-NO. Nicholas: You are being timed. /notices the snake flying towards him/ The loss of an instructor gives... Heh... /starts sweating/ You a very bad score. 48: /twitches/ Jake: Uh... /looks around for something weapon-worthy/ Nicholas: /Runs away from the snake, looking for a knife or something/ 13: .. crap. /waves arms to lure the snake away from Nick/ Your trainee is over HERE. 13: /watches carefully, waiting to intercept the snake if needed/ Nicholas: /Moves to a different spot, looking for a weapon/ Jake: /Feels like something isn't right/ Nicholas: /knows it and thinks somethings right/ 13: Should I help? Nicholas: No! Time for plan B. 48: 13, the council needs us. We need to go. /leaves/ Nicholas: Jake, I'm a member of the rebellion. We need to kill this snake, then get out of here! Erin ordered me to save you! Jake: Erm... Do we need to kill the snake? Wouldn't it be easier to just... Leave? Is something wrong? Nicholas: Uh... I guess you're right. And no... Nothing's wrong. /almost smiles/ Jake: Um... OK. Nicholas: Let's get to Erin's base. Jake: Erm... OK. Nicholas: Oh, crap. Run. Jake: /begins heading for the exit/ Why? Nicholas: Just go! RUN! /starts barricading doors/ Jake: /runs/ Nicholas: /follows/ /doors burst open/ Jake: /watches as scientists burst in/ OH CRAP. NIcholas: /again, follows/ Jake: COME ON! Nicholas: OK. Wait, what? /starts c'moning/ /48 and 13 burst through the doors after them/ /more bloodhounds come/ Jake: How many are there?! 13: Enough. Just keep running! Jake: /spots the clearing/ IS THAT IT?! 13: YES, GET IN THE CAVE! 48: GO GO GO GO GO GO! Jake: /enters the cave/ Everyone else: /follows/ 13: Quick- Down a tunnel, we'll lose them if we get far enough! Nicholas: Yeah! /keeps c'moning/ Everyone: /goes down a long tunnel/ Jake: Do you think we've lost them? 48: I think so. Nicholas: Did you even have to ask? /keeps following Jake/ Jake: ... 13: I think we've lost them... NIcholas: /continues following/ Er... Do we have a plan C? 48: ... Not that I know of. Nicholas: Guess what, Jake? /continues following even though Jake is obviously trying to lose him/ Jake: What? Nicholas: Your whole life actually wasn't a dream. Jake: ... Nicholas: Er... You're not angry, are you? I don't want another personality in my head. Jake: Not necessarily. You guys planned all this out?! Nicholas: Y-yes? /backs away, then listens to orders and keeps following/ Jake: I've got to say... That was a pretty well planned out prank... 48: /snorts/ Nicholas: Er... So you're not angry? Jake: No. Nicholas: /breathes a sigh of relief/ 13: Ok, good... Anyways... Do we even know where we are?! Nicholas: NOOOOOOOOOOO..... /slumps again/ Jake: Ugh... Crap. Nicholas: FINALLY, A DRAVELER! LET'S AVENGE NICK'S DEATH! Wait a sec... /bolts upright/ Nicholas: No. 48: Well that sucks. We're stuck in a cave and the snatcher squad are coming to avenge your death. 13: I have a feeling it will be fairly soon, too. Jake: You think? Nicholas: Er... How do you know that? 13: Max happened again. Nicholas: Gaah! Why does it have to be ME? Why can't Max happen to Max or something! 48: That's a very good question. Kale: Like I said, this might not be a good idea. Max: It's not supposed to be good, it's supposed to be evil. 13: I... I'm going to try and find my way back... Jake: No, you're staying here. 13: OK. Wait, NO! Nicholas: Um... OK. But... I don't... Why? /continues following Jake/ Jake: Shouldn't we explain to them you're alive?! Nicholas: Not while my murderers are here. Jared: The black hole guns are charged. Kale: I wish I hadn't come... Max: I think they're close. 13: /looks at Nick worriedly/ Black hole guns?! Nicholas: They shoot boulders. Really big ones. 13: /stares at Jake/ Pleaaase let me leave? Jake: Nope. We need to sort this out. Nicholas: You're turning into Max. Not a good thing, by the way. Jake: ... 48: I think I hear voices. Coming this way. Max: Get the cannons ready. They're right up here. Jared: OK. Wait, what? 13: I have no chance of surviving this, do I? Nichoolas: Nope. It's both mind readers and some black hole cannons vs. 1 bloodhound. 13: /facepalms/ I'm gonna die. But maybe if they see you first, they'll realize you're still alive and I won't have an early funeral? Nicholas: Or they could see me and shoot me. And anyway, I still have to follow Jake. Jake: You can stop fighting me, Nick. Sorry, I didn't realize I still had the command going. Nicholas: GOOD. erm... So should I Jared: There they are! Sam, get him! /shoots a boulder/ Sam: /runs towards 48/ 48: No- What are you doing? Sam: /pokes 48/ Get 13! Jared: /reloads/ Max: /still fighting Jake/ /not moving/ 48: /rushes 13/ 13: /ducks out of the way and climbs up the wall and onto the ceiling/ If you shoot me with the gun now, the roof will fall onto all of you. Jake: /watches 13/ He has a point. Nicholas: /pokes 48/ Nicholas: What? Guys, stop. Sam: I said, hold on a second, guys! 48: /stops and turns to stare at Sam/ Sam: Uh... What?! Jared: I don't get it. Max: You said what we were all thinking. Jake: Um... I'm confused. Max: Like I just said. 13: WHAT?! Max: Er... Everyone, understand. 13: Oh.... I get it now. Jake: Oh..... Sam: Wow, that's sort of embarrassing. Kale: Oh. Max: Well, I didn't think we were actually being evil, but... Jared: So why was 13's DNA on that rock? 48: I think we'll let Nick explain that. I don't know myself. 13: Hey Kale? /gestures to 48, who is still trying to get him/ Would you mind? Sam, Nick and 48 in unison: But where is Nick? Wait.... Nicholas: PHEWF. 13: What? /climbs off the wall/ Nicholas: /suddenly bursts out laughing, thinking it was all one big prank/ Max: WHAT?! YOU SET ALL THIS UP?! NICHOLAS, PUNISH YOURSELF. Nicholas: /starts hitting his head against the rock wall/ But... I... Was... Kidding! Max: Oh. That's pretty funny, then. /forgets to stop Nick/ Sam: Uh... Max? Max: Oh. Right. Sorry. Nick, that's enough punishment. Nicholas: OK. Wait, what? Ow.... /suddenly starts crying like a little girl/ Max: Uh... Uh... Sorry? /smiles, embarrassed/ Nicholas: At least I'm not crying like a little girl. Wait, what? Jared: Let's get out of this cave. Kale: Yeah. /everyone leaves Nick, 13, and 48 in the dark/ Nicholas: Er... I'm not afraid of the dark or anything, but this is creepy. Gah. Why did Jake have to forget his command! 13: You said it. Unfortunately, I can't move because of Jake's orders of staying here. 48: ... Nicholas: 48? 48?! Gah! I can't see a thing, even with night vision! 48? 48?! 48: Stay quiet, you moron. What if a bear hears us? 13: ...A bear. : 48: Yes. Dark.Artist: 13: You're scared of... A bear?? 48: ...No. 13: WELL THEN WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT ONE? 48: .... 13: /Exactly./ Nicholas: Wish we could actually move. 13: /Begins to feel around with his arms for an opening./ 48: No kidding. Nicholas: I can't see a thing or move a muscle, so... How are we going to get out of here? 13: I dunno... Nicholas: Er... 48: ...This could end tragically. 13: ... Nicholas: So we're just stuck down here until the next time Max or Jake comes down? Nicholas: That could be a LONG time. Nicholas: A very, very long time. 48: Yes. What fire is in mine ears? Can this be true? Stand I condemned for pride and scorn so much? *rants* 13: 48, will you stop that?! Nicholas: What? poetry? And 48? Does... Not... Compute... 48: Nick, it's a monologue.
13: Hey, he's back! How was the sloth, Gorlac? Gorlac: Believe me, that was an experience I'd rather not go through again. 48: Anyways, Gorlac, you're.... mathematical. Gorlac: JUST CALL ME A NERD.
