Round 5
"Crossing the Bridge"
*press play*
The crowd stared in awe as Cell was promptly defeated. Whatever remained of him was sent into the portal ahead, who knows a fate that lies for him up ahead...
Meanwhile, Giygas-Prophet appears again, this time WITH EVERYBODY WHO PREVIOUSLY DIED.
"Go forth, Tourists, into the portal, for it is the only way to cross this bridge and continue on with your lives. You will come to find the place you desire most, but it is all a trick, you will not be faltered by this trick, you will find a black microphone, and you will return back here in the next 24 hours, OR you will not come back at all, you will die.
Your journey awaits."
Librarian cat, Monokuma, and all other non-tourists glowed purple, and, in an instant, were all gone, you're all alone now...
at least the ded guys are back!
what are you going to do?
you going to stay here on the bridge, forever.
Or will you face temptation in a most epic battle yet?
Good news! There will be NO GMing this round! this round is based solely on the player!
however, there still be rules!
BRIDGE CROSSING RULES:
you may choose to go into the portal whenever you want!
-when you enter the portal, you rule! You choose the place, situation, and condition that you think would be the perfect place for your character!
-you will enter and exit from a specific object in your world, that will be the portal
-your character will face the temptations of that world
-your character will overcome it (unless otherwise, PM a GM if that is the case), and will search for the black microphone
-your character will exit the world, and arise on the other side of the bridge, mission complete!
-There will be two characters that will not make it,
Hope and
Cell. This is due to you not having a Black Microphone in either of your worlds. Both of you will post either dying in that world, a proper execution, or falling into the temptation of that world.
-it is advised you do this all in one post
-you may have no more than 2 players in the same world (they will have to find 2 microphones)
-dead people may do a post of this too (to make things fair)!
There you have the rules of the bridge! Make the post very interesting, we just might hold a contest for the
Best Bridge Crosser(ing) post.

Quote was hit by Cell's attack, a small, wound straight through his abdomen was quite clearly visible now, but, thankfully, Cell seemed to have been defeated before he could cause anymore trouble, though now Quote would really need a mechanic. No vital components were hit, but, that hole would definitely be quite the drawback, he looked around, spotting Shiemi soon enough and quickly approaching her, making sure she was alright, but, before he could try and look around for the Doctor, the Prophet... Or... Whatever he could presume was once the Prophet made another announcement, telling them to get into the portal in front of them, apparantly it was the only way to cross the bridge. He looked a little disappointed as he realized he'd have to deal with the small, gaping hold in his abdomen for a while, he took Shiemis hand, gently pulling her towards the portal, looking around at his surroundings one last time before he stepped through.
......
Quote & Shiemi - Portal Adventure; Deja Vu
As soon as they stepped through the portal, Quote was really quick to realize that they were in a rather familiar place; Mimiga village? But... How? The Island wasn't supposed to be intact! Or at least not the Island that he had visited much earlier on. Though, as he started to wander around the underground city, making sure Shiemi was following him, he realized something; no-one was around... But, why? Perhaps the Mimigas had moved somewhere else? As he continued through each and every building, still not seeing anyone around, not even any of those living mushrooms in the graveyard, nor the grave-warden who kept watch there, they finally stumbled across Arthur's house, and, trying the door knob, he realized that it was already unlocked... At least that was a thing; he had no idea where the key might be...
As they both stepped inside and looked around, it became apparant place looked more like a science lab than a dwelling, though it felt more comforting to be in here rather than outside, even if there was still no-one around. He checked up on Shiemi to make sure she was still doing fine, and, upon seeing that she was, they continued across the room to one of the beds... With any luck, there should be some items to help repair him scattered on the shelves, and sure enough, there were! Some duct tape, spare parts, and heck, even a few spare armor plates. Seeing that a few tools were scattered about here and there, he started working on fixing himself up with a little help from Shiemi; he was glad to have her around... Lately, she'd been helping him quite alot; in fact, she was starting to remind him of Curly Brace; the Robot Girl who he hadn't heard from since the Island had crashed into the ground, he hoped she was alright. It took them a while, but, the repairs were finally finished, and, he gave Shiemi another gratefull smile, this time patting her on the head lightly too to show his gratitude, then, he got himself up and dusted himself off a little before heading over to the computer. He hoped the teleporter was working at least... Maybe he'd find some more people around in other areas, they didn't seem to have any luck finding the black microphones they were supposed to here, though, it confused him why such things would even be found in a place like this. Typing a few commands into the computer, the text that popped up told him there was only one area available; "The Egg Corridor". It seemed like the most viable place he could possibly find someone, or a microphone at any rate, so, with that in mind, he opened the portal, linking it to that location, then, he, with Shiemi following closely, stepped inside, both of them being transported to the egg corridor.
As it turned out, the egg corridor was in a rather bad shape, and, to make matters worse; it seemed that all of the sky dragons being held in here were prematurely hatched when the facility was ruined... Each one of them spewing fire blindly at anything that moves... With Shiemi's help though, Quote managed to make it through the area, putting the poor creatures out of their misery one by one as they continued on, dodging spikes falling from the roof and making their way through the other creatures laying around. They had quite a few close calls with some peculiar cloud-like creatures as they had found out the hard way; they were quite explosive... Though, at long last, they finally reached the end of the corridor, a door was quote obvious visible there. If Quote had remembered this correctly; it lead to "egg no. 00", the first egg that had been stored in here... Perhaps they'd find someone in there?
Disappointingly enough; there was no-one in here, but, they did find one black microphone... Odd, it seemed there was no catch to it as there usually was; this seemed a little too convenient for his comfort, though, he did realize they needed two to successfully complete this portion of their "tour". So, he handed the microphone to Shiemi and approached the egg itself, well, where it should have been anyways; the entire thing was gone! A message on the computer screen near the egg brought light to the situation however, it read "Meet us on the outer wall... We have what you're looking for." The other wall... Quote remembered there was a doorway somewhere further from the egg, and, upon feeling around the darkness a little (he really wished he had Infrared vision modules installed), he finally felt something move; a door! Signalling to Shiemi, he walked through it, with Shiemi following behind.
Upon entering the door, they were greeted with a heavy gust of wind; it seemed they were on the very edge of the island, the clouds almost directly below them were clearly visible, as well as... A sky dragon?! It looked alive and well judging by it's lively green texture and rather content expression on it's face. Not too far beyond was Kazuma and... Curly Brace? "Cur...Curly?" Quote said, speaking for the first time in such a while, she smiled gleefully and gave them both a cheerfull wave. "Come with us!" She called, causing a confused expression to cross Quote's face, he tilted his head, as if to say where. "We're escaping this Island! The sky dragon's our ticket out of here! Aren't you coming with us? There's only room for three, but, we can always make room for more, right?" Kazuma chimed in. This made Quote think some more; it was a tempting prospect, to escape this island indeed, perhaps they'd find the microphone they needed elsewhere... But... Wait, hadn't he been asked that question before? Yes! Except... Curly wasn't here; it had been that time when the Mimigas were kidnapped, and all hope seemed to be lost... But, yet, he didn't give up there and leave in hopes of things turning out better in the end.
He looked towards Shiemi a little before looking back at the two and shaking their heads apologetically. "Why not? Come on! There's no way you can find that microphone in this run down place!" Curly called, and this confused Quote even more... Run down place? She'd never referred to the Island as such a thing before, something wasn't right... Quote shook his head once more, giving them a wave this time as if to say goodbye, they were most likely leaving, with or without him at this rate. Kazuma sighed "Suit yourself." he said, climbing on the dragon's back... Curly followed suit, with a more upset look, she didn't seem to say anything at first, but, instead, waved to him "I guess this means goodbye..." she said disappointedly, waiting a rather long period of time... As if she wanted Quote and Shiemi to follow her, and, Quote had to fight as hard as he could not to run up there too, that look on her face was starting to make him feel rather guilty about his decision, he was starting to have second thoughts. Thankfully though, they eventually flew off, and in a blink of an eye, they were gone, swallowed up by the clouds as Quote looked on, not moving from his position for a moment.
Eventually, he gave Shiemi a bit of a sad smile before he continued on, getting closer and closer to the edge, that was when his foot hit something; another black microphone... It seemed funny how close he was to missing it really; if he had gone with Curly and Kazuma, they'd never have seen it in the first place. Picking it up, he looked it over a couple of times to make sure it was real before he looked towards Shiemi, seeming like he was about to say something when suddenly... Two dragons appeared, they seemed almost like sky dragons, but, with brown scales, and eerily greenish eyes, it seemed like they were up to no good at all really, and sure enough, those suspicions were confirmed when they started circling around them, spewing fire and strange beams of energy. Quote had to use his Boosterpack, pulling both him and Shiemi out of the way while she summoned a familiar, Quote in teh meantime was charging up his weapon once more. The Spur had been of the most use to him ever since he'd recieved it, and, in this battle, he quickly discovered that the dragons could only be harmed if they were hit when they opened their mouths, preparing to spew energy beams... And so, upon discovering their weak points, a crazy battle ensued. At times, Quote had a few close calls and almost fell off the edge of the island, down into the clouds below, but, each time, Shiemi managed to find a way to pull him back before he descended too far.
It was a long and hard battle, but, eventually, the two dragons seemed to have petered out, they dove downwards, over the edge of the platform hanging over the clouds and suddenly exploded... The weary looking duo peered over the edge to see that some sort of portal had formed, and it appeared to look almost like the portal they had entered when they were on the bridge. With that in mind, Quote gave Shiemi's hand a reassuring squeeze before he jumped down, with Shiemi doing the same... As they plumetted downwards, Quote altered their course just slightly with his boosterpack, managing to just about land them both in the portal, each one clutching a black microphone as they went through... That was when everything went completely black.
....
Quote + Shiemi - Return To Reality
The two were practically flung from the portal, and, Quote, being the heavier of the two sort of "crashed" onto the bridge with a metalling clanking sound, though, Shiemi, who had landed a little ahead of him seemed to have recieved a softer landing. He lay there for a moment, wondering what exactly he just experience before he eventually got himself up, dusting himself off once more; a distinct feeling of emptiness in a portion of his gut told him that he still had a hole in his abdomen. A disappointed look crossed his face when he realized that experience had most likely been a dream, but, yet, they each had a black microphone in their possesion... If that was all a dream, then, what's up with those microphones?
