Welcome to Gaia! ::

Larry was still suffering a few ill effects of all the sweet, delicious booze he slammed down before. But it seemed that he just didn't know how much. During their exhilerating romp through the woods, Larry's skin appeared to have gone from it's normal slightly tanned color to being almost liquid white. His blood still pumped normally and he didn't feel faint or anything, the effects must have been the result of one of the villager's curses or maybe of the beer itself.

And for the moment, at least, he was unaware of this. "Hey!" he said to the buggy rider sounding offended "Who are you calling ******** up? And where the ******** DID you come from, you psicopatico son-of-a-b***h? Tell me, kid, what is it about me that would make him say something like that? Cause I am at a loss."

Absentmindedly, Larry let one of his vampire-looking arms touch Korie on the shoulder as he said this.

((@Frogtuar, Baltazaar and KawaiiNekoYoukai: Don't worry, I'm not actually an undead blood-sucker. This particular curse is meant as a sort of tracking device for the villagers, so they can see Larry easier in the dark. It'll disappear once we find our way to the portal and the villagers abandon the hunt. Also, I should say that this mission has taken an awkward turn. Instead of it being a mission for two, now there's three of us. I say we should have the new guy take us to the book store and then be on our way.))

((Anyone ready for a return of an old, probably little known character? razz ))

Near the Mishaps HQ, a figure flying towards the place slowly became visible. It became obvious that this figure was a dragon; a European style, but a little more sleek. Instead of the potbellied, giraffe-necked stereotype, this creature actually looked a bit more like a winged lizard, but it still had the almost beak-like snout and serpentine-like neck. A deep forest green in color, except for it's underbelly; the scales there were more of a blackish-blue.
The dragon flew closer and closer, and eventually landed right before the front doors. With the building and such now available for height comparison, it was easy to see that the dragon was roughly only as tall as an average human male; appearing only just under six feet from the head to the ground. It's claws were white, and it's eyes were a blood red.
With a grinding of magic, the dragon transformed into a young girl, about twelve in appearance. Her hair was the same color of green as her scales, except for a few inches near the roots, which were the color of the scales on the dragon's underbelly. Looking up at the doors, it was obvious that her eyes hadn't changed color at all; they stayed the same blood red that they had been before the transformation.

With a sigh, the young girl pushed open a small door, disguised to be a part of the large set of double-doors that were the entrance to Mishaps Mercenaries. While she might not be a captain, she still had a mission report to deliver...

((I made a couple of changes to the design, but I don't think I got very specific when I was first here, so no one other than Xinrie should really notice (and then probably not right away). xp ))

((Is there anyone for me to RP with at the HQ, right now?))

Spider sighed. It was more then useless.
"Kay, guys. Looks like we have quite a problem here....
Ok, but luckily, we have quite a good situation going. I being a professional drug fiend have all the power we need to....."
He looked at the girl.
"Locke, you have a bit of a lesser problem. Right now, you aree under shock and prolly swelling. Wash your hands, and bandage them tightly. If you don't, it might be that you will not be able to use a gun because of pain and/or swelling. Don't take it the wrong way, but better use the whole bandages up, because We have no recoil-free weapons. "
He wheezed a few times, and tried to get himself topgether. It was going too well, too perfect.....
"Okay, now to the esse. I believe the fact that you are under no drug and he is rules out a gas or a multi-vector. Which leaves us only with an injected or an imbibed drug. Let's throw in a few grams of that magic stuff, so we have a problem.
If we have an imbibed vector, the best treatment would be throwing up as much as possible, for which I would reccomend rattlesnake antidote. I think about 50 cc of the liquid directly swallowed will give you pretty much projectile vomiting, and after that it should get better.
Injected drug on the other hand..... we would have to undress you, esse, and search your entire body, if you do not remember anything.
So, leaves us two options. one, you swallow and throw up, I would even let you in the copilot seat if needed, and we go.
Two, if we have you under the effect of an unknown drug, I would very much like you to know that I will sedate you the minute you start acting funny, abort the mission, and then return to base. "
He breathed multiple times, swallowed a few more little blue pills, and grinned.
"As for the battle plan, I would say we ride into town, thrash the place, give the villagers a stomping, rape pillage and plunder, and have loads of adult fun.
Esse and myself do the trashing, and keep the villagers away. You, miss locke, make a run for the book dealer, grab the manual, and we will head the ******** out. If anything goes wrong, I will get the ******** out, and run with the portal, only to return with as much firepower as possible. "
He stretched his neck, and grinned.
"So, any better ideas? Just tell me what you think..."
He leaned back, and enjoyed the cool breze. It was wonderfull....

Larry was in awe at how much of a drug fiend Spider was. It seemed like every time he inhaled through his nose to catch a breath from his constant ranting, he was snorting K just for convenience. "And I thought I got away from guys like you when I refused a Catholic School education!" Larry grumbled "As far as the plan goes, I ain't got one. While I'm at it, my name is Larry. My codename is Freebird. And I ain't no 'ese, do I look like I live in East LA?"

"Besides, what is there that needs to be fixed? I ain't drugged, I feel fine." Larry continued, more in Korie's direction this time "With the exception of not being able to remember a certain tiny portion of my life. Big deal. I get those all the time when I wake up after a long night of drinking."

((OOC: @Baltazaar: Now you've made things kinda interesting. I think it'd be funny if you grabbed me by the mouth and forced the rattlesnake antidote down my throat.))

"kayyyy...."
He stopped for a minute, since his pills where low, and grabbed an other bottle.
"See, Freebird, great choice by the way, allways loved the song. "
He laughed nervously, and popped the lid of the new bottle, and inserted the first pill in his nose.
"So, basic knowledge, if you take drugs, you get symptons that drive you away from the zero-point of the sanity in all of the seventy-two planes of the finite universe. So, if you know what the drugs do, you can counteract. if you take extacy, you can smoke a big blunt afterwards, and all is fine back to zero.
Now, memory loss, your skin condition and your bigass pupils do not come from nowhere. But, since I am the drugfiend here, I have no moral background against being on drugs. "
Poking in his nose, he licked his lips. The stuff seemed to be working.
"So, basically, I had been able to figure out some additional stuff to the effects of drugs on my system. So, this stuff has no actual known effects besides memory loss, so please, ....."
He opened a bag in his bagpack, and removed a hypodermic needle. Still grinning, he turned around to Freebird, and in one swift motion, poked him with it. It only took a few milliseconds, but that was enough.
"Don't flip out, but this is just a measure to reproduce the drug in later stages. So, Buckle up, get some weapons out of the bagpack, and get on the buggy. Due to my calculation, any second now the villagers might come running across the hill. "
He turned around, and walked as quickly as possible away from the both of them. he grinned, and tucked the needle into his suit. It was safe now, and he could study the drug later.

(I'm at HQ, I'm not even at the front door yet...)
