open log » ❝ The VR Program ❞

Date & Time: August 5th, mid morning.
Location: Anywhere characters happen to be/the VR.
Characters: Everyone.
Summary: From August 5th to August 8th, characters are plunged involuntarily into the VR Program.
Warnings: Potential violence within the threads.

When the chance arises, she's quick to take it. The programming is incomplete, she knows; the simulation isn't ready — but she's not likely to get another shot at it. And so she moves, slipping through security codes to input the command. The machines hum to life with nothing but a flicker of a green light in a dark room, and it takes only seconds to establish connections. The signal is sent out; the weapons respond.

In a single pulse, reality drops away.

There will be darkness at first as the mind realigns itself to the signals being sent it. Slowly, the darkness fades, forms take shape. People take shape. The setting is terribly familiar, plucked from the user's own mind. It might feel like a dream at first, with events playing out as if predestined, the would-be dreamer moving through a familiar and unalterable route in them. But as things begin to feel more and more realistic, as more senses more fully connect to the simulation, awareness will change. This is not a dream. This is more than a memory.

Welcome to the VR.

Only 20 minutes later, in some underground quarters, Doctor Sponde is roused from an undignified sprawl. He's hastily briefed and shuttled toward the command center, looking grim. He knows the problem demands an immediate fix, but… well, this is some complex machinery. It could take some time. It could take days. He gets to work.

During her stint as Phoenix's assistant, Maya had seen many things. Murders. Parrots being cross-examined. Will Powers's face. She'd learned truths she'd thought were impossible and adjusted to them all accordingly. She was prepared for many things.

But nothing could prepare her for the thought of Von Karma having a daughter. Nothing.

"P...... P-PAPA--" Followed by a rather unceremonious, "---AAAAH!" as she was dragged away and thumped against the floor.

"Y-You're V-Von Karma's---?!"

Riku hesitated in step to shoot her a glance over his shoulder. "What?"

What did she mean? In a general sense, or pertaining to the dream? Because if he was honest--he was horrible. This dream was the last thing he'd want anyone else to experience. He wondered if his emotional state would affect hers, if this was his dream. "I'm..." Uh... "... okay."
payback: (worry; what about your pants?)

[personal profile] payback 2012-09-23 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Rin hustled to do as told, and then hustled back around to kneel next to Sollux. "Let me help you up," she said, and then reached out to touch him gingerly without waiting for a yea or nay.

Mostly she meant in regards to right now and this dream. She'd already seen a few people flipping out about their dreams - she felt no desire to add Riku to the list.

"Okay?" She repeated it, as if looking for affirmation, and continued following him. "Not everyone has reacted to this well."

"-- daughter."

Despite the pressing situation of having a copy of her own father shoot lightning bolts at her general situation, she couldn't hold back adding "I never had much faith in your intelligence, Maya Fey, but I never expected you to forget that."

People rarely did.
biwinning: (I’m not fair game. I’m not a soft target)

Enjoy that intense static and shock in exchange for touching him.

"DON'T. Touch me."

Yeah, think you got the picture, Rin?
payback: (peek; ceiling Madara...?)

[personal profile] payback 2012-09-27 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Electricity snapped to her hands and Rin jerked back with a muffled yelp, falling gracelessly right on her ass. "Sorry!" The word squeaked out tearfully. "Sorry!" Then she didn't know what to do and scrambled around to crouch on her haunches, watching fearfully.
biwinning: (Dying is for fools; amateurs.)

Once the item is on the alchemiter, it begins to do it's work, and makes his entry item: a flashlight. Or... a handheld tubular lighting device, depends on who's saying it. He reaches over painfully to grab it, and finally relaxes once it's in hand.

"It'th okay. It'll be over in a thecond."

He flicks the flashlight on, and everything goes white. A few seconds later, the light dies down, but the setting has completely changed. Outside of his hive, everything is made of. Well. Brains. Fiery brains. It honestly looks kind of gross. Meanwhile, Sollux lies dead on the floor.
payback: (uncertain; what I know I don't know.)

[personal profile] payback 2012-09-27 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
She had no idea in the slightest what was going on. The surroundings were too surreal to even deal with. Instead, Rin went to her knees next to Sollux, hovering over him in terror without touching. She wasn't sure if he was dead or not. She wasn't sure if he'd shock her again if she touched her or not, so she just hung over him in an agony of indecision, unable to decide what to do.

Some more blood drools out of his mouth, but he eventually wakes with a start, eyes flying open and WOW YOU ARE UP IN IS FACE.

"Perthonal thpace!" And yeah, you get a bunch of spittle with that little bit too.
acemedium: she'll beat you up with her noodle arms (Does Maya have to smack a bitch?)

[personal profile] acemedium 2012-10-02 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Forget it? I didn't even know it in the first place!" And despite the pressing situation of a copy of Von Karma shoot lightning bolts in their general situation ("YOU STAND IN THE WAY OF PERFECTION! PREPARE TO DIE!") aside from flop out of the way of a toppling lamp, Maya couldn't help but get indignant. She's never met this girl and yet she's being insulted?

"W-What's that supposed to mean?!" As if it wasn't obvious.

"I have this nightmare enough to get used to it."

He noted, his voice low and quiet as he headed towards the glass elevator, the light above the doors flickering ominously. Riku's back was straight, his shoulders shaking slightly, arms tense and at his side. Yes, he'd gotten used to this nightmare, that much was true--but that didn't mean that he was okay with what was happening. He looked back towards her as they opened, and nodded his head inside. "It's safe."

"It means that I won't be surprised the next time you get kidnapped or accused of murder." She stands up to lob a very expensive looking vase at her magical mage Manfred with her whip.

"So don't expect my cooperation the next time that happens."

And that's when mage Manfred who seems to be this spoof of a wizard who's name we can not mention due to copyright laws' attacks came to a full but eerie stop.
payback: (horror; ye gods.)

... I prosed without even realizing it

[personal profile] payback 2012-10-07 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
< Oh my GOD. > Rin pivoted in midair on a dime - her bird form was quick and agile, at least, if not powerful or sizeable enough to fight off most of the Animorphs' large raptors. She had caught a glimpse of Collette's twisting form though, and that was enough to throw her.

... Unfortunately, the native inhabitants of the simulation were beginning to turn their focus to Rin as she tore across the sky, hoping desperately to find an exit. < What are you DOING? >
whatsupcroc: (☈ crocodile: smile you're on ani camera)

we are prosing ladies if we please

< Morphing! > was her matter of fact reply to Rin, even as she called out at all the birds trying to attack Rin.

< Hey! Featherbrains! Get down here and face a real challenge! The one you want to fight is me, isn't it? Come take on the big green baby if you want a real challenge! >

She laughed, tail slamming down on the roof and sending gravel skittering to either side. She felt gross, attacking those who were supposed to be friends, but they weren't. They couldn't be, because her friends would never do this.

Which meant it was someone else, and there was no reason to hold back.

Collette's jaws closed over an osprey, and with a final slamming shut, it went limp, decapitated.
acemedium: this is legit terrifying (You have to cross-examine Brushel!?)

same here ;a; I thought I responded to this

[personal profile] acemedium 2012-10-10 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets another yelp out of her, and as soon as she begins reorienting from the pulling Maya skitters closer to the only familiar, non-attacking person in the room - that is, Jack. Not quite touching, but the supposed little badass is definitely panicked and out of her element]

[How's that working? Try not at all]


I-It's happening again! Everyone's attacking!
payback: (talking intensely)

[personal profile] payback 2012-10-11 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yes - [As the flow of battle changes and attention is directed towards Halibel, Rin is swept her way too. Struggling to dislodge herself from the tide of people, she's pushed against Halibel nevertheless and anything else she might say is put aside as she struggles against the bodies of slaves and maids and customers.]
payback: (D8)

[personal profile] payback 2012-10-11 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"AUGHghk - " Rin fell gracefully backwards onto her ass, swiping at her face frantically and scrambling to get farther away from Sollux.

"What the HELL?"
biwinning: (I am battle-tested bayonets bro.)

[personal profile] biwinning 2012-10-12 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
"You're like two inchesth from my face, and athking ME what the hell??"
payback: Rin looking shocked with wide eyes and open mouth. (jolt; MANJI/HYAKURIN??  BUT HOWWWWW)

[personal profile] payback 2012-10-12 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"I thought you were DEAD. Why aren't you DEAD?"
acemedium: i'm serious i will puff them (don't make me puff my cheeks at you)

[personal profile] acemedium 2012-10-14 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's not my fault those initiative jerks kidnapped me!" And she was quickly getting annoyed and forgetting the situation at hand. Cooperation? Next time? How did she even know about the murder accusation?

"I don't even know you! Why would I want your cooperate in the first place?"

And of course the attacks stopping went completely unnoticed regardless.
biwinning: (ii aiin't even mad.)

[personal profile] biwinning 2012-10-15 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Becauthe I already did thith. Did you jutht completely ignore the fact jutht the other day thome drunk douche wath bragging about a virtual reality chamber? But if I didn't carry thingsth out like they were thuppothed to go, I would have probably jutht "died" a lot thlower and probably more painfully. By the way, your breath thmellsth really bad, conthider taking a fitht full of mintsth."
payback: (SHRIEKS@YOU)

[personal profile] payback 2012-10-15 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
The brief rant went by in a rush of lisping and disses. Rin scrambled backwards on her ass, wiping at her face, and shrieked back at him, voice eeking up with upset. "Well excuse me for getting upset coming across a guy spewing blood everywhere! For having done that you seemed awfully loopy too!"

She scrambled back until she ran into something, and then sort of heaved herself to her feet. It was hard - she still felt shaky. "I'll just leave."
sacrificar: (personally involved)

[personal profile] sacrificar 2012-10-17 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[There was not enough time to ask if she should've been aware of anything else regarding these attackers. Skilled as they may have been, they seemed to be merely human, and that would be enough information for her to act on.

Halibel continued to fight, determined to not only claim victory, but to it that both herself and Rin would survive the encounter.]

She noticed how fake wizard Manfred's attacks stopped, but she just can't leave a comment like that pass.

"I didn't want to cooperate either! I had to!" Accusatory finger pointing! "You and Phoenix Wright are always getting in my way!"

And, as if on cue, fake Manfred screamed a scream whose force could knock back everything in the room.
