((I ASSURE YOU, I WILL POST WHENEVER I CAN...
also, was the Crossover thing directed at Jacob? I think it ********." Jacob said, "Where the Hell are we supposed to land this thing?"
He thought for a moment about Crossover, Crossover?
"Joe, what the Hell is Crossover?"

((Yeah, it was.))
Joe glanced over. "Crossover?! What the hell...do you want to know...about Crossover for?"
Roland caught the idea and gave the idea. "Oh!" Joe said. "Crossover is a place halfway between here and Hell. I think it's a neutral place."

((Excellent.
You have a reasonable shot at guessing who's taken an interest in you, I think. xd ))

"Well, I say we go there! Can you...can you switch us to...Crossover?" Jacob asked.
Halfway between here and Hell? This is just crazy...

Roland corrected him, in Hell. The top Tier is fairly safe, true, but if we landed in a demonic soul-harvesting operation it would probably end badly.>
(( xd No, not Abaddon. You wish.))

Paul shook his head. "Do not blow it off. We are being quiet. We are being silent, that is not quiet. Get some sort of knife or something and cut a hole in the door. It'll be easier I'm sure. Quieter at least. Let's try the earth drill, in fact." Paul proceeded to attempt it, very slowly lest it not work and/or make noise.

While it took a healthy dose of mana to make a stone drill penetrate the door, it succeeded with a decently low noise level.
Of course, the amount of noise on the other side of the door couldn't hurt.

It didn't matter how much noise there was elsewhere; a sharp ear might hear him if they could differentiate. It was unlikely, but it was possible. Paul's mana drain, however, was relatively minimal thanks to the fact he was wearing down the magic in his iPod as opposed to his own mana. It would require some serious regeneration later, but he'd do that on off-time. In the meantime, he was a touch low on mana locked into the Earth section; he'd have to watch his uses on it.
Once there was a hole in the door, Paul put his head through, Athena at the ready to fire.

Paul's Warlock commented helpfully, observing a man strapping himself into a ten-foot-tall beast of gears, steam vents, boilers, bellows, and... guns. Lots of guns.

Paul informed him. To Marco he said, "Do nothing without warning me and checking with me. We're working together, and you so far appear to like to hit things up epic-like. No epic combat here. We've got to stay silent. You value your life, yes?" he added, checking there was somewhere to hide before pulling himself through the door.

There seemed to be cover pretty much everywhere. The room they were in was a mess of pipes and containers; they could probably run over to him and tap his shoulder without him having a chance to see them if they were quiet and didn't hit any pipes.

Ensuring that his mana signal was minimal, Paul started looking for something like a magical depressant. He didn't see anything that looked specifically like the machine yet, either. While he waited for a response, he pulled himself up to the nearest pipe and stayed there for a while.

The mana flow of the room seemed to break up and become disrupted around various points of the machinery on the mech, as well as just about anywhere there were gears.
There were lots of gears.
