[22:19] <@GM|Anne> *You are all seated on the 2:25 am flight out of Boston heading toward Seattle, it's a calm trip so far with minimal turbulence. Your luck seems to have changed for the most part, seeing as how your original 8:00 pm flight had a last minute cancellation due to engine trouble.  [22:19] <@GM|Anne> The airline thought it best to offer limited seating to anyone who wasn't patient enough to wait till morning, and you gladly obliged. The flight plan is a longer one, heading north to make it's first stop in Quebec City to pick up the majority of its passengers, but so far everything seems smooth, and at this rate you'll arrive earlier than if you had waited. * [22:20] <@GM|Anne> It's nearing 3:45 am now as you and the few other passengers on board enjoy you first class seats (You'll have to switch  back to coach upon arrival in Quebec City, but there's no reason you can't enjoy it while you have the chance.) There's a movie rolling, "Executive Decision" starring Halle Berry and Kurt Russel, a movie probably not chosen in best taste, but you can still hear the buzzing from a few sleeping passenger's headphones. [22:21] * +Robert| kicks back and relaxes while drinking some champagne, occasionally glancing out of the window [22:21] * +Alex_Nelson is probably dozing at 3:45am... [22:21] <@GM|Anne> A flight attendant makes the rounds, offering drinks, snacks and pillows to the passengers. She's wearing relatively conservative black pumps, with a dark navy blue uniform and a red neckerchief over a white blouse, her dark brown hair is up in a neat bun. [22:23] * +Robert| grins to her while taking a pillow to nap every now and then [22:23] <@GM|Anne> **NOTE: If you have any unreasonable weapons or items on your sheet, consider them removed for the moment, you will pick** [22:23] * +Rusty_Slater watches the movie with benign interest, trying to guess the talents of those working behind the scenes. [22:23] <+Robert|> ((*sheet is empty except for clothes in his suitcase*)) [22:24] <+Alex_Nelson> ((heh that would be me ;) )) [22:24] <+Alex_Nelson> ((and for the record, yes I ahve actually travelled with stuff like that on a plane! you would not believe the hassle!  and it was before 9/11 too))  [22:25] <+Robert|> ((well...maybe he has a multitool or something in the suitcase..*shrug*))  [22:25] * +Rusty_Slater checked his multi-tool with his clothing to avoid hassle  [22:25] <@GM|Anne> *Descriptions please, and any other actions*  [22:26] * +Rusty_Slater is a thin man with indistinct features. He wears a leather jacket and tight blue-jeans and has a ratty green backpack  slung over one shoulder. His hair is long, but not yet reaching shoulder length, and his face is partially hidden under a thin layer of  whiskers.  [22:26] * +Rusty_Slater laughs humorlessly at the movie on the screen.  [22:26] * +Robert| is a short stocky man of his mid twenties, though he looks much older from his leathery tanned skin, 3 o'clock shadow, and long scar that runs from just below his left eye down to his jawline from who knows what. He has faintly offwhite teeth but other than the scar, he looks fairly "normal" with long brown hair to his shoulders, in a ponytail to keep it out of the way [22:27] * +Alex_Nelson stands roughly 5’ 10". He has greenish-blue eyes and short brown hair, it is a little curly and a little messy no matter how hard he combs it. He wears jeans and a t-shirt with a loose over-shirt on top. His hiking boots are rather dirty and well worn.  [22:27] * +Alex_Nelson is lean and is his mid 20's.  [22:28] * +Robert| is wearing beat up old jeans, a hawaiian red and blue floral button shirt topped off with some faded brown cowboy boots  [22:28] * +Rusty_Slater silently judges the creative decisions by the director/editor  [22:28] <+Rusty_Slater> ((lol, hawaiian shirt AND cowboy boots? Classy. :D))  [22:28] <+Robert|> (( :D))  [22:28] <+Alex_Nelson> ((lol nice))  [22:29] <+Robert|> ((he -almost- wore shorts :>))  [22:29] <@GM|Anne> ((Another note, this is happening in the late spring, so it's warm weather, snow ftl))  [22:29] <+Alex_Nelson> ((little chilly in Quebec or Seattle for shorts ;) )) [22:30] <+Robert|> ((pfsha)) [22:31]  ((well, it is late spring. maybe ;) )) [22:31] * Grahn (~cpezza@ip70-181-17-127.ri.ri.cox.net) has left #MonsterIsland  [22:32] <@GM|Anne> *The flight continues on as schedules, calm with minimal turbulance. The flight attendant does one last circuit before  taking a seat in the front row next to what plainly appears to be an air marshal, they chatter quietly*  [22:33] * +Robert| leans back to half doze half watch the movie  [22:35] <@GM|Anne> *It's now 5:30 am, the sun is starting to rise. If you napped, you're awakened by the flight attendant, early breakfast is  being served before landing in quebec. If you're still awake from last night, you're alittle groggy but you napped enough in the airport as it  was, so you're not too bad off. The movie was pretty bad though.*  [22:35] * +Alex_Nelson slowly comes awake, with a cric in his neck, thanking the attendant and looking forward to food.  [22:36] * +Rusty_Slater makes distasteful clucks as he finishes watching the movie, then curls up for a nap as the credits roll. When the attendent comes around he takes a couple bites of the dry airline food, before pushing the tray away and putting his head back to close his eyes again. [22:36] * +Robert| smiles and once he receives his food eats it down hungrily along with a glass...or two of the juice. Might as well relish in it right? [22:37] <+Robert|> ((pfsh! first class airline food these days is GREAT!)) [22:37] <+Alex_Nelson> ((no kidding!)) [22:38] <@GM|Anne> *The food isen't too shabby, it IS first class after all. Everyone gets a rolled omlette, a sausage, croissant, fruit cup, apple sauce, and a cuppy of juice.* [22:38] <+Robert|> ((Want. :) [22:39] <+Alex_Nelson> ((makin me want to cook an omlette... ;) )) [22:39] * +Rusty_Slater gets some breakfast champagne [22:43] <@GM|Anne> *The Pilot comes on over the speakers, "I hope you're all enjoying your breakfast, we will be arriving in Quebec City within 30 minutes. Those of you not debarking will follow Ms. Penserini to coach. The food isen't as good, and there's a bit less leg room, but  It's only like 10000 miles to seattle.." He has alittle chuckle, but you hear the co-pilot shout something before the speaker cuts off.* [22:44] * +Robert| sighs and grumbles to himself, enjoying his current arrangements with another look out the window [22:45] * +Alex_Nelson finishes the breakfast, enjoying good food. [22:45] <+Robert|> ((we have a dice bot?)) [22:46] <@GM|Anne> (I forgot to get one :P) [22:46] <@GM|Anne> ((does anyone have one we could use?)) [22:46] <+Alex_Nelson> ((no idea. no idea how any of this system works anyway)) [22:46] <+Robert|> ((skill + attribute)) [22:46] <+Rusty_Slater> ((its all d10)) [22:47] <+Alex_Nelson> ((I think I have a dice option... [22:47] <+Alex_Nelson> ((let me bring another me in here...)) [22:48] * ShadowDice (~Omnissiah@modemcable058.95-83-70.mc.videotron.ca) has joined #MonsterIsland [22:48]  here use mine anne [22:48] <+Robert|> 6d10 [22:48]  Robert| rolls 6D10: 4 7 3 1 9 4 = 28 [22:48] <+Alex_Nelson> ((nevermind ;) )) [22:48] <+Robert|> ((notice ^^))  [22:49] <@GM|Anne> ((was that your roll? :P))  [22:49] <+Robert|> ((yea hehe))  [22:49] <+Robert|> ((gotta reroll that one at a -5 though))  [22:49] <+Robert|> 1d10  [22:49]  Robert| rolls 1D10: 6  [22:49] <+Robert|> ((another..1..lol))  [22:50] <+Robert|> ((so I roll again but with -3))  [22:50] <+Robert|> 1d10  [22:50]  Robert| rolls 1D10: 10  [22:50] <+Alex_Nelson> ((ok...someone will have to explain stuff as we go... I wrote it all down but not sure what it means))  [22:50] <+Robert|> ((so 15))  [22:50] <+Alex_Nelson> ((and what're you rolling for?))  [22:51] <+Robert|> ((haha, sorry guys, completly screwed up on that :X))  [22:51] <+Robert|> 1d10+6  [22:51]  Robert| rolls 1D10+6: 10 +6 = 16  [22:51] <@GM|Anne> roll another d10  [22:51] <+Robert|> 1d10  [22:51]  Robert| rolls 1D10: 3 [22:52] <+Alex_Nelson> ((/me has no idea what's going on...)) [22:52] <+Robert|> ((rolling for something that I see out the window I think)) [22:52] <+Rusty_Slater> ((/me either. :P)) [22:52] <@GM|Anne> *Just so everyone knows, this system uses D10s, if I ask you to roll for a skill, 1d10+Skill modifier, if it's a natural 10, reroll and add the roll onA* [22:52] <@GM|Anne> ((We were trying to get Robert to roll the right thing!)) [22:52] <+Alex_Nelson> ((ok...so where does the stat come in?)) [22:53] <+Robert|> ((its 1d10+skill/attribute I think)) [22:53] <+Alex_Nelson> ((I thought from the reading it was just a d10 and you had to make under your stat+skill or something...could easily be wrong though)) [22:54] <@GM|Anne> ((It's 1d10+modifiers-GMmodifiers, 9+ is a success)) [22:54] <+Alex_Nelson> ((ah! ok)) [22:55] <+Alex_Nelson> ((so the modifiers are just skill. not the stat?)) [22:55] <+Robert|> ((the stat too)) [22:56] <+Alex_Nelson> ((ah, ok, I got that now...)) [22:56] <@GM|Anne> (I think it's stats+skill, if applicable, i forget) [22:57] <+Alex_Nelson> ((ok, we'll figure it out as we go...only got like 30 min left...)) [22:57] * +Robert| jumps up and dashes to the otherside of the plane and buckles in, hurdling of seats while yealing out in rapid unision "FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!" [22:57] <+Robert|> ((the instead of "of"*)) [22:58] * +Alex_Nelson looks over, alert and possibly alarmed... [22:58] * +Robert| glances wide eyed towards the otherside of the plane and braces himself [22:58] <@GM|Anne> *The stewardess gets up to see what's wrong with Robert, but the little phone at the front of the cabin rings and she rushes to answer it* [22:59] * +Rusty_Slater watches the sudden turmoil. "Woah! Relax! What's your problem!" [23:00] * +Robert| is still braced and slowly looks up "Fucking plane!", points outside the window next to where he was sitting [23:00] * +Alex_Nelson looks from wherever he is sitting. [23:01] * +Rusty_Slater stays buckled but attempts to crane his head around to get a look at what he's talking about. [23:02] * +Alex_Nelson makes sure his seatbelt is buckled. [23:05] <+Rusty_Slater> "What?! Engine fire?! Crappy Prop-plane coming at us? Bird-strike?! For god sakes, what?!" [23:05] <@GM|Anne> *The drops the phone and runs up the isle, looking paniced, "Everyone quickly move to the right side of the plane, buckle yourselves in securely and assume the emergency position that was--" There's jarring crash near the back of the cabin and you'd all have been thrown from your seats if not buckled in. The stewardess gets tossed to the side and gets lots from view behind some seats. [23:05] <+Robert|> "Fucking plan is going to hit us!" [23:05] <@GM|Anne> The stewardess* [23:06] <+Robert|> "Why the hell did I fly1!?@#?" [23:06] * +Rusty_Slater ducks down and covers his head while repeating 'fuck' over and over again [23:06] * +Alex_Nelson mutters "Oh shit..." and tries not to tense up as he ducks. [23:06] * +Robert| tucks his head down between his legs through the crash [23:07] * +Alex_Nelson tries to remember half-forgotten prayers... [23:09] <@GM|Anne> *The cabin pressure is dropping as large hole appears in the rear of the cabin, as a large crumples indistiguishable piece of metal tears through. The little flicker and dim as the cabin pressure drops, you can hear the pilot's garbled speech over the speaker, but you can't make out what he's saying over the loud hiss of escaping air. The emergency oxygen masks drop over your heads.* [23:11] * +Robert| fumbles around for it and slips it on quickly, staring wide eyed at the back of the cabin [23:11] * +Alex_Nelson flails about, grabbing for the mask and trying to get it on his face without suffocating. [23:11] * +Alex_Nelson "our father, full of grace...the lord is with the shepard..." [23:12] * +Rusty_Slater watches the hole open and random debris go flying about the cabin. He grabs the oxygen mask over his head and struggles to get it on his face, wishing he had been paying attention to the safety lecture. [23:16] <@GM|Anne> *You can all feel the plane tipping forward, heading into a downward spiral, the hissing is replaced by a strange quiet, wait, that's probably the engines failing. Then a new noise, it kind of reminds you of the sound a falling bomb made in one of those old cartoons, only a thousand times louder, as you careen faster and faster toward the ground* [23:17] * +Rusty_Slater curses God in so many words [23:17] <+Robert|> "Oh flying is the safest way to travel my f*cking white ass." *yells out sarcastically, a bit garbled by the mask and even more so by the plane plumeting towards the ground* [23:18] * +Alex_Nelson prays quietly to a god he doesn't even believe in... [23:19] <@GM|Anne> *You hear the pilot again over the speaker, the voice is still garbled, but you can clearly make out the worls "Emergency  Landing" and "Hold on." The plane starts to level out a bit, but the turbulence gets much worse, the whole plane starts to shudder violently with the stress, you can hear loud cracking coming from the rear, like the plane is about to break in two.* [23:21] * +Rusty_Slater shrugs, considering the fact that this would be more of a disappointment had he turned out successful [23:29] <+Alex_Nelson> ((um...how much longer we going for? I have to work in the morning...)) [23:30] <@GM|Anne> *An unsettling scream comes out over the speaker, and does not stop.. until abruptly comes to resemble a crumpled tin can, debris and seats and carnage all around you. You are all thrown about, seat and all as the plane is torn apart from around you. All you see is an alternating blur or earth, wreckage and the rising sun as what's left of the plane barrel rolls and flips along the ground.* [23:30] <@GM|Anne> *and everyones goes BLACK*
 * them up when appropriate **
 * [23:20] * +Robert| cackles a bit crazily to himself "Oh just wonderful!!" **
