Stayka's World of Darkness Stuff | Digital Web Campaign | Online Games Overview

 Marvin Black (Hollow One) - played by Sven
 Michaelangelo (Virtual Adept) - played by Dingo
 Red Queen (Virtual Adept) - played by FiXXXer667
 Hannibal Golux (Virtual Adept) - played by ZenCadet

<Marvin_Black> We could play a mini session with Red and Marv though ;)

<Red_Queen> anytime 8-)

<Red_Queen> your sector?

<Marvin_Black> Yup... Marv will be in the far end of the sector... Too bad the map isn't up yet. but Red will have to walk through the whole sector to get to the park.. And perhaps look for him elsewhere

<Marvin_Black> Loads of dead ends and so on. ^_^

<Red_Queen> Lil' red wandering around Creepyland, hoping that the big Black wolf will find her 8-)

<Marvin_Black> You get the idea.. You playeed SH2 ;)

Marvin_Black sits in a chair of bones and skulls near the lakeside, just out of reach of the tentacles, watching at the water and tentacles

<Marvin_Black> (I'd send you the map if I were at home, but I'm not. *g*)

<Red_Queen> (lemme find your description again 8-))

<Marvin_Black> (K... Take a look and you can be sure, as far as I remember the map red will have to go through almost the whole sector... Just the buildings are optional ^_^)

Red_Queen moved through the conduit to Marv's sector, feeling the temperature drop suddenly.

Marvin_Black sits still in his chair in the park. A small field of music surrounds him, not to be heard if you are not near him.

Red_Queen looks at the sky, then at the buildings and streets surrounding her.

Red_Queen shudders at the sight, then decides she isn't dressed appropriately.

Marvin_Black listens to the sounds of Cromwell Street by Apoptygma Berzerk in his chair

Red_Queen rolled 9d10 dice and got: 1, 10, 6, 4, 10, 7, 6, 7, 5

Red_Queen switches the red dress to a tight black and red leather outfit

<Red_Queen> (think Bloodrayne)

<Marvin_Black> (As said above... We play a Red / Marv meeting. Perhpas Hanni wants to support Red?)

Red_Queen checks her wristpad, trying to find any maps of the sector on the Web, getting an "Under Construction" page.

Red_Queen sighs

<Red_Queen> wish someone was here to help.

<Red_Queen> oh well

Marvin_Black closes his eyes and listens to the water and the music

Red_Queen starts walking along a large street.

Red_Queen checks the sign, It says Horror street, but she can't be sure with all the rust and dirt.

Marvin_Black hasn't any scanners running to check for other persons in the sector, not expecting anyone to come here

Red_Queen tags along, trying to wade through the dense fog. She can't hear much apart from the howling sounds of the wind, and the noise of her boots as she walks along the streets.

Red_Queen reaches a crossroad.

Marvin_Black sighs

Red_Queen decides that since all the streets around are looking the same, she could just pick one by chance.

Red_Queen rolled 4d10 dice and got: 8, 8, 6, 7

<Red_Queen> (entropy effect to choose the right street)

Red_Queen rolled 4d10 dice and got: 8, 8, 2, 2

Marvin_Black opens his eyes again and watches the water again

Red_Queen decides to take Cthulu street.

<Marvin_Black> (Should pick the right one. general direction: "north", but many blocks, dead ends, broken grates and so on)

Marvin_Black changes the tune to some Godmodule

Red_Queen walks along, almost enjoying the sounds that the sector's wind, rusty grates and creaky windows made.

<Red_Queen> well programmed indeed. God, he's sooo amazing.

<Marvin_Black> (Oh... Did you see? Marv changed his icon ^_^)

Red_Queen shaked her head for using the G word.

<Red_Queen> (yeah, the angel icon 8-))

Marvin_Black goes for another song... DKay.com... Hell is Heaven

ZenCadet picks an appropriate song: "Burn, Baby, Burn!"

Red_Queen walks past an old building. Judging by the courtyard, it's probably a school or college.

<Marvin_Black> (The school is one of the first buildings to meet from the entrance conduit. ^_^)

Red_Queen shudders totally creeped out. She had hated school all her life, and she still did.

_Xander_ sings Walk through the fire

ZenCadet sings The Crazy World of Arthur Brown's "Fire!"

<ZenCadet> ("I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you.... Fire! dum-dum-daah, You're going to burn!")

Marvin_Black goes listens to the song, while progging some lumps of flesh to feed them to the tentacles

Red_Queen keeps walking straight past the school, eventually reaching another large building.

Marvin_Black throws in "Burn" from The Cure

ZenCadet burns some CDs too.... and senses a theme.

<ZenCadet> (np: David Bowie, "The Man Who Sold The World")

Red_Queen looks at the tall, once white-coloured structure in amazement.

<ZenCadet> (irrelevant, but great song)

Marvin_Black keeps listening tto his music

Red_Queen goes on past the looming building through the streets, just to find a dead-end.

<Red_Queen> must 've took a wrong turn.

<Marvin_Black> (In the area around the hospital are some dead ends *g*)

Marvin_Black listens to Dead Souls from NIN

Red_Queen heads back to the huge building, deciding to try another street.

<Red_Queen> (you're spinning the crow album, ain't ya?)

<Red_Queen> (8-))

<Red_Queen> (nice choise btw)

<Marvin_Black> (Yup, right now yes. *g* The hospital is already near the park. Just a bit more to the north ^_^)

Red_Queen heads north until she finally notices a difference, the fog somewhat clearing around her.

Red_Queen sses the entrance to a park, marked by the blackened wooden skeletons of bushes and trees.

Marvin_Black progs some more lumps of flesh and throws them to the tentacles

Red_Queen walks through the entrance, until she notices a skinned corpse hanging from a tree, the body slightly moving because of the wind.

Red_Queen raises her eyebrows, then shudders, thinking that this looked just like an old pal a Billy Boy had once taken out.

Marvin_Black changes the tune to Covenant "Call the Sips to Port"

Red_Queen grits her teeth for a second, then decides that she's probably on the right way, judging by the increase of the tensity programmed in the air.

Marvin_Black s field of music can only be heard if you are close to him, but his chair is rather a throne of skulls and bones, so it can be seen easily if you come closer

Red_Queen stops abruptly, one step away from the water of a lake.

<Red_Queen> damn. one more step and I'd be having a not-so-nice bath..

Red_Queen notices something whitish crawling her way.

Red_Queen steps back, just to see a large tentacle grabbing the air in the place she was a few seconds ago.

Marvin_Black looks at the tentacles heading away from the "flesh" he thrown at them and scratches his head

Red_Queen looks up from the lake, deciding that she spent too much time here, without result, when she sees him...

<Marvin_Black> Hmmm? Why are they....?

Red_Queen stands in awe at the sight of a dark, fallen angel.. scratching his head and looking at the tentacles moving away.

<Marvin_Black> They shouldn't move away... unless...

Marvin_Black stands up and takes a closer look in the direction the tentacles are heading

Red_Queen hardly keeps herself from jumping around and waving, certain that it would prolly get her derezzed out of the sector.

Red_Queen decides to play instead, rushing towards the nearest skeleton of a bush.

Marvin_Black slowly walks into the direction, when the tentacles head back to their assigned place.

Marvin_Black spreads his wings as he can't see anything at first and lifts off the ground to watch the scene from above

Red_Queen wishes there were leaves so she could make enough noise for him to notice her.

Marvin_Black sees some red spots down in the withered grass and flys closer

Red_Queen rolled 9d10 dice and got: 5, 3, 6, 4, 3, 3, 6, 5, 4

Red_Queen momentarilly becomes a flash of red light.

Marvin_Black followes the flash of light he had seen and then recognises Red down there. Wondering for a moment why someone is in his sector he heads down to land right next to Red

Red_Queen is now clad in a tattered dark red dress, her black hair loose on her shoulders. She smiles to Marvin as she watches him land gracefully next to her.

<Red_Queen> Well, you are here after all..

<Marvin_Black> Oh.. It's you... Hi... What brings you here?

Marvin_Black seems indifferent as ever

<Red_Queen> I just wanted to have a look at the winning sector.. and it's creator.

ZenCadet calls out from the audience: "Get in there Marvy, baby!"

<Red_Queen> It's not only exceptionally programmed, even that ironhead dupe could do that... but it's sooo inspired..

ZenCadet calls out from the audience: "Show her what you got! She wants to have a look at ya!"

<Marvin_Black> Well... It's just the real world is like... If you take away all the makeup and stuff everyone likes to put on it.

<Red_Queen> you've put a lot of heart on it, haven't you? she sais, putting one hand on his chest, almost where his heart should be..

Marvin_Black steps back, looking very confused and looks at the hand

<ZenCadet> (np: David Bowie, "Life On Mars?" perhaps it should be re-titled, "Life in Marv?"

Red_Queen nods her head, and Nine Inch Nails' "Underneath It All" can be heard around her..

Marvin_Black looks around

<Marvin_Black> I didn't even expect someone to come here

<ZenCadet> (Oh, man! Wonder if he'll ever know / He's in the best selling show / Is there life in Marv?")

Red_Queen chuckles

<Red_Queen> why, as you said, reality can be cruel, without the make-up and all... right?

<Red_Queen> They cannot tolerate it..

<Marvin_Black> Oh... I's not only it *can* be cruel... It *is* cruel... life is a joke and only pain and tornment...

<Red_Queen> only pain and torment, Marvin?

<Red_Queen> I can call you, Marv, can't I?

<Red_Queen> Don't you think there are other feelings beyond that?

<Marvin_Black> Yes... Nothing more... Luck, Fortune, happyness... It's all just to make the next strike of fate felt harder

<Red_Queen> So, when something goes wrong, you feel certain that you were right, that it's reality coming over the lie that bliss is, correct??

<Marvin_Black> Yup... I still fear what will happen to me for winning this contest I didn't even expect to make it under the top 5... If it weren't for Hannibal and Asmo I would have bailed out of the final fight...

Red_Queen decides that this may not be easy, but if unorthodox methods are required... so be it.. the goal justifies the means.

<Red_Queen> So, don't you feel correct, justified, when things go bad?

<Red_Queen> isn't it just the way they're supposed to truly be?

<Marvin_Black> Huh? What do you mean?

<Red_Queen> Well the worse things get, the closer to the truth , right?? The truth the others can't comprehend.. that Murphy's law applies, that everything is doomed to fail, collapse, end..

<Marvin_Black> Yeah... That's the one and only truth... Everything will come to an end.. collapse, die, wither... Look around.. Everything build crumbles, everything born dies...

<d1ng0> (where are you guys sitting ?)

<Marvin_Black> (In Marv's sector in the park... The point farest away from the entrance you could say)

<d1ng0> (good. Then Michaelangelo has no chance of running into you.)

<Marvin_Black> (No one likes to visit a nice and cosy place like Marv's sector? ;) )

<Red_Queen> Even if it causes grief to others, doesn't the revelation of this truth make you feel more.. complete, correct? The others seeing how right you were?

<Marvin_Black> They don't even listen to me... Poor Marv is just always ignored... But that's ok... It's just me... And even when they listen... They deny...

<Red_Queen> They always do, don't they?

<Marvin_Black> Sure...

<ZenCadet> (hey, what about your ol' pal Han? He listens to ya. ;) )

d1ng0 (thinks that Marvin should stop wallowing in self-pity and get a life)

<Red_Queen> Marvin.. I noticed Hannibal Golux gave you some things..

<Marvin_Black> (he will listen to everyone ;) )

<Red_Queen> movies, books.. did you read them?

<ZenCadet> (... mind you, he can't *help* but listen to you and *remember*every*word*you*have*ever*said!)

<Marvin_Black> Yeah... Never seen something this far away from reality...

<ZenCadet> (who needs a paradox spirit when you have Eidetic Memory and someone like Marv around... ;) )

<Marvin_Black> (Hehe Zen... So Hanni just gets a glimps on the true world ;) )

<Red_Queen> Did you notice how these people felt for each other, how strong their feelings were?

<Marvin_Black> Hey... Those are movies... Nothing real...

<Red_Queen> Still, so vain, thinking they would last forever..

Marvin_Black turns to watch the water...

<Marvin_Black> Nothing lasts forever...

<Red_Queen> Yes, movies these may have been, but can't you see your Etherite friend burning with the same passion for her precious Technocrat?

ZenCadet has just found a nice quote for Marv: "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die." Bonus points for anyone who can name the source.

<Marvin_Black> AC? She never had even a glance at the real world... her head is always up in the stars and skies... She wants to flee the world up there...

<Marvin_Black> (Lovecraft?)

<ZenCadet> (which story?)

<Marvin_Black> (Then I'd need to google for it... So I am honest and tell you I don't know... I only had a German book of short stories.)

<Marvin_Black> (And soon I will read the King in Yellow)

<ZenCadet> (Let's see if Aidan knows: identify the quote: "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.")

<Picks-at-Flies> (I would bet a quid that it was Shakespeare)

<d1ng0> (Iron Maiden ?)

<Red_Queen> (give us a quid 8-))

<Marvin_Black> I doubt she even has been on Earth much

<Red_Queen> But wouldn't she fight for this feeling?

<Marvin_Black> She would fight for a can of worms in danger... She's unreal.

<Red_Queen> But surely he would be of much more importance to her than the worms, correct?

<Red_Queen> Even though they play such a huge role in the circle of life...

Red_Queen with that, points at the maggots on the hanging corpse

<Red_Queen> ..and he does not..

<Marvin_Black> Might be... If he's around she only has eyes for him and clutches to his arms... Could make me puke... They should fear fate's backlash...

<Red_Queen> Marvin, I'm going to make you an offer.

<Marvin_Black> An offer? Oh, you are here to talk business... Now I understand why you came to my sector...

<Red_Queen> I'll give you a chance to feel the ultimate revelation of your theory. I believe that your theory is correct.. But to test it, I'll give you the ultimate challenge. I'll give you everything I can, to prove to you that you're wrong, that love exists and it can be strong. Strong enough to leave a mark in the darkness of death and the passing of time, even if it is doomed to be eventually defeated by them. It is a vain attempt, fighting against the end.

<Red_Queen> But still, fight I will. What I want from you is much: to fool yourself, let him believe that it will last forever, just like the other lovers..

<ZenCadet> (well, I took the quote from 'Call of Cthulhu')

<Red_Queen> Live the lie as if it were a truth, feel for me as I will feel for you. And if you are finally right, you will have your greatest reward.

<Red_Queen> I will fail, and I will despair. And you will revel in your new convinction that you were right.

d1ng0 (starts looking for a bucket)

<ZenCadet> (another Marv quote, this time courtesy of David Bowie: "Don't believe in yourself, don't decieve with belief, knowledge comes from death's release")

<Marvin_Black> Even if there is love... It's nothing more than a way to hurt you... like everything in life is there to hurt you or prepare you for the next strike.. Make you feel everything harder... Life is a bitch and worse... She's glad about it... So what do you want and why do you want it?

Marvin_Black turns around and takes a step away, so Red can't see his face.

<Red_Queen> The higher the tree the greater the fall, they say.. So be it.. I'm offering you the ultimate fall..

<Marvin_Black> There is enough pain and hurt in the world without me... Why are you asking me to hurt you?

<Marvin_Black> And why me? I'm a nothing...

<Red_Queen> I want you to love me. Love me, like I do. Love me, if only to prove that it will not last forever, to watch it end horribly. To prove you right.

<Red_Queen> You are not nothing, Marvin Black.

<ZenCadet> (lol - I like it... love me to prove yourself right... heh-heh)

<d1ng0> (I'm still looking for a bucket.)

<Marvin_Black> I'm an unimportant nobody... So why don't you ignore me like everyone else?

<Red_Queen> Because noone ignores you.

<d1ng0> (I do *G)

<Marvin_Black> (AC does *g*)

<ZenCadet> (LOL)

<ZenCadet> (nah, they don't ignore you... they just wish you weren't there...)

<Marvin_Black> (AC ignores Marv for sure.. Stayka said so at work ;) )

<Red_Queen> They are simply afraid of listening to your truth.. so they dismiss it as lies, just to uphold their truth.

<ZenCadet> (heh-heh)

<Marvin_Black> Sure they do... Even the judges ignored me for moments when I approached them...

<Red_Queen> But they still awarded your excellent work.. Can't you see? even if they try to ignore you, they cannot!

<Marvin_Black> Just because Hannibal and Asmodai pushed me in front of them... When we first met.. before we exchanged the first word even you ignored me!

d1ng0 (hands marvin a gun)

Marvin_Black rather chooses the devil he knows than the devil he doesn't know ^_^

Red_Queen notices..

Marvin_Black still stands with his back to Red

Nick change: d1ng0 -> Michaelangelo

<Red_Queen> I did not. Truth be told, you were the reason I approached your rather... colourful company.

<ZenCadet> (dingo: a gun is too quick)

ZenCadet hands Marv a slumbering Cthulhu and a really loud alarm clock.

<Red_Queen> (8-))

<Red_Queen> (thanks guys)

<ZenCadet> (you're welcome)

<Marvin_Black> Yeah... Sure... To make fun of me.. Like everybody does, or what? Even Hanni said it could be you are a fat slobby guy who is good at changing icons...

Red_Queen sighs

<ZenCadet> (gah! Thanks Marv... ;) )

<Marvin_Black> (Zen.. Here you have Hanni's mistake... never tell Marv something could be worse than he thinks...)

<ZenCadet> (that one is soooo gonna come back and haunt me...)

<ZenCadet> (I was wondering if that was it, actually)

<Marvin_Black> (If Hanni isn't arround to rub it into *his* face I use this occasion *gg*)

<Michaelangelo> ( *TWIP* Marvin.. don't break rule number one of the DW... always accept a Icon at face value (even if with a grin))

<Marvin_Black> (This was Hanni's suggestion *gg*)

<ZenCadet> (*sigh* heh-heh)

Red_Queen rolled 4d10 dice and got: 8, 7, 9, 4

<ZenCadet> (Good, Red failed her Smite Han roll, which required 5 successes at difficulty 10!)

<Marvin_Black> (if it's a mind effect it's 3 Sux for Marv's low WP *g*)

Red_Queen frustrated, she forces an image of herself in real life, lying on a bed with her trinary in her lap. She looks as if she's sleeping. Though not as beautiful as her icon, she is still rather nice.

Nick change: ZenCadet -> A_tentacle

A_tentacle whips at Marvin_Black's feet.

<Red_Queen> See for yourself..

Red_Queen rolled 4d10 dice and got: 3, 6, 7, 3

A_tentacle coils like a cobra behind Red Queen.

<Marvin_Black> Ok... You *are* a woman...

A_tentacle morphs into an imitation of Edvard Munch's "The Scream"

Red_Queen rolled 5d10 dice and got: 7, 1, 10, 8, 3

<Red_Queen> (Zen, Dodge THIS)

<Red_Queen> (forces enhanced punch)

<A_tentacle> (oh dear, that single success was cancelled out. You fail the Smite Zen roll.)

<Red_Queen> (well, at least the punch prolly landed 8-) )

A_tentacle hids behind Marvin like a kicked puppy, but still poises menacingly.

<A_tentacle> hides

Nick change: A_tentacle -> The_tentacle

<Marvin_Black> But still there is nothing good in this world for me...

<Marvin_Black> (<--- Thinks of Maniac Mansion)

<Red_Queen> I can change that Marv..

<Red_Queen> (lol, that and DotT)

The_tentacle rots in superspeed and decays into a bubbling acidic ooze that trickles away.

<Marvin_Black> No... Nobody can change that... Every try to change it will just turn everything worse...

Nick change: The_tentacle -> ZenCadet

Marvin_Black clenches his fists

<Red_Queen> well, if it actually gets worse, won't it be better for you? You'll be closer to the truth you seek and realize..

<ZenCadet> (optimistic cheery sort of guy, ain't he)

Red_Queen slowly walks behind him.

<Red_Queen> (aye)

<Marvin_Black> I had enough pain already... I wont go out and seek it... It will find me anyway... Even faster with this bunch of crazy guys around who wont leave me alone...

<Red_Queen> So, I guess you want to be left alone?

<Marvin_Black> To stick with me means bad luck, just like hanging around with them... It's bad karma... I am no good vor anyone...

Michaelangelo sighs

<Red_Queen> Marvin, I don't believe in either luck or Karma. But I know the power feelings have. And it's overwhelming both of us.

Red_Queen thought "Only it's different feelings."

<Marvin_Black> I know the overwhelming power of pain... And I've seen what happens to people who want to hang around with me...

<Marvin_Black> You know nothing about me... about my life... Nothing!

<Red_Queen> But that does not mean I do not want to find out.

<Marvin_Black> Believe me... You don't want to...

<Red_Queen> (i wannnaa know what Maaarv issss. I want youuu to shoooow meeee!!)

Marvin_Black still stands still his back turned to Red, fists clenched...

<Marvin_Black> (loooool)

<Marvin_Black> (but if you add the second line it could be misinterpreted ;) )

Nick change: Picks-at-Flies -> Juke_Box

<ZenCadet> (np: David Bowie, "Scream Like A Baby" - yes, some of you may have noticed a David Bowie theme to my playlist tonight)

<Marvin_Black> (I'm listening to the FF VIII Soundtrack, since my GF is playing FF VIII right now *g*)

Juke_Box sings " "Well I wouldn't buy the merchandise / And I wouldn't fight no war""

ZenCadet selects the track from Juke_Box.

Juke_Box sings " And I messed with other colours / But the nurse don't care"

Juke_Box sings " And I hide under blankets / Or did I run away"

Juke_Box sings " I really can't remember / Last time I saw the light of day"

Juke_Box sings " Scream like a baby / Sam was a gun"

Juke_Box sings " But I never knew his last name / And we never had no fun"

<Red_Queen> (sorry, back. everyone decided to remember calling my dad today, and I'm the official receptionist.)

Juke_Box sings " They came down hard on the faggots"

<Marvin_Black> (hehe)

<Juke_Box> sing They came down hard on the street

Juke_Box sings " They came down hard on the street"

Juke_Box sings " They came down harder on Sam"

Juke_Box sings " And we all knew he was beat"

Juke_Box sings " Thrown into the wagon / Blindfolded chains and stomped on us"

Juke_Box sings " Took away our clothes and things"

Juke_Box sings " Pumped us full of strange drugs"

Juke_Box sings " And oh I saw Sam talking / Spitting in their eyes"

Juke_Box sings " But now I lay me down to sleep / But now I close my eyes"

<Marvin_Black> <Marvin_Black> Believe me... You don't want to...

<Marvin_Black> Marvin_Black still stands still his back turned to Red, fists clenched...

Juke_Box sings " And I'm learning to be a part of society"

Red_Queen tries to put her hands on Marvs's shoulders.

Juke_Box sings " Scream like a baby / Sam was a gun"

Red_Queen whispers "But I want to..", more to hereself than Marv.

Juke_Box has a scratched disc.

Juke_Box sings " Scream like a baby / Sam was a gun"

Juke_Box screeches to a stop.

<Marvin_Black> No... You don't... Believe... No one wants to walk in my shoes...

ZenCadet kicks the Juke_Box. "Damn, it didn't get to the end of the song."

Marvin_Black doesn't move under the touch of her hands...

ZenCadet wants a refund.

<Red_Queen> (at least he didn't pull away)

<Juke_Box> Please insert a quarter.

<Red_Queen> (don't even think about it. yet 8-)

ZenCadet inserts a coin and selects Pink Floyd: "One of these Days"

Red_Queen gently strokes the dark wings.

<ZenCadet> (the song has one lyric muttered murderously *once*: "One of these days, I'm gonna cut you into little pieces")

<Red_Queen> You have wings, but you will not let yourself fly, Marvin..

<Marvin_Black> In Hell there is no place to fly to, for every cave has a ceiling...

Michaelangelo sighs

<Red_Queen> (fitting, Zen 8-p)

<Juke_Box> /sing Someone's whispering in my ear -

<Juke_Box> I say no more, go away but he don't hear.

<Juke_Box> He follows me around, builds me up, tears me down.

<Juke_Box> I try my best to shake him, but he just hangs around.

<Red_Queen> (very fitting.. only from the opposite sex/perspective)

<Juke_Box> It's that old devil called love again,

<Juke_Box> Gets behind me and keeps giving me the shove again,

<Juke_Box> Putting rain in my eyes,

<Juke_Box> Tears in my dreams,

<Juke_Box> And rocks in my heart.

<Red_Queen> Marvin, you are not in Hell. There is no hell. Heaven and Hell is all around you, It's what you make of your life.

Michaelangelo pulls the plug on the jukebox.

<Juke_Box> wrrzzzzpp!

Nick change: Juke_Box -> Picks-at-Flies

Marvin_Black restarts 25 Cromwell st. from Apoptygma Berzerk. The whispering distorted voice sings "They think that you're alive... but you know that they are wrong..."

<Marvin_Black> No... That's where life put me... that's what life is...

<Picks-at-Flies> (Hey, will the jukebox get logged ?)

<Marvin_Black> (Everything goes down the deepest depths of ST-Logger *g*)

Red_Queen sighs, smiling sadly as she hears the familiar tune.

Red_Queen nods again, switching the tune to Apoptygma Berzerk's "Love never Dies"

Red_Queen smiles.

Michaelangelo (is about to code a BFG and shoot the source of the anoying music)

Red_Queen gives Marv a small kiss on the cheeks.

Nick change: Picks-at-Flies -> Room

Nick change: Room -> TheRoom

<Red_Queen> You are still what you were.. I thought I'd have done more. But I guess it's what I should expect from you, Marvin Black.. until next time then..

Marvin_Black takes another step forward. It seems like a step someone takes if something unexpected happened they don't know what to think of it... Then he changes to Apoptygma Berzerk's "Ashes to Ashes"

TheRoom 's lights dim, until there are just two spotlights, lightly overlapping.

<Marvin_Black> See you later I guess...

Red_Queen laughs, and dissipates in a cloud of red mist, the music again changed to Apoptygma Berzerk's "Deep Red".

Marvin_Black sounds a little bit confused...

TheRoom now only has one spotlight.

Michaelangelo goes over his coding again... and really wonder what was the purpose of the contest.

<Red_Queen> (8-))

Marvin_Black walks back to his bone throne, sits down and stares at the water... This time in deep thought

TheRoom whispers to Michaelangelo, "Better luck next time"

<Red_Queen> (lol)

<Red_Queen> (i got him thinking?? w00000t!!!)

<Marvin_Black> (Red: I think it is time to bow to the audience

;) )

<Marvin_Black> (you are utterly confusing him *g*)

TheRoom lights up, and opens doors stage right and stage left.

Red_Queen bows, even as a red cloud 8-)

<Michaelangelo> (Oh Marv.. you may be the depressed one usually, but after the contest there is one even more depressed....)

Marvin_Black bows

<Marvin_Black> (Oh... Who is it? *g*)

<Michaelangelo> (<---------)

TheRoom lowers the curtain, before raising it one last time.

Marvin_Black bows again

Red_Queen writes a routine to bow for him 8-)

<TheRoom> . o 0 (Him?)

<Red_Queen> (her, even)

<Red_Queen> (whoops)

<Marvin_Black> (I hope oyu liked this little game... (To audience and Red too))

TheRoom lowers the curtain and turns on the house lights.

Nick change: TheRoom -> Picks-at-Flies
