[SoGothCally's Audition]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac flips a couple of switches on his remote and Cally finds herself locked in a deep freezer. Mac Hands her a virtual winter coat, a Swiss Army Knife and a roll of duct tape.

"The lock is unpickable with the knife. Go ahead and use anything you find here in the deep freeze to break the lock on the door and to your freedom"

[OOC: Feel free to use your imagination of what is in the room, but try and keep it limited to what might be in a walk-in freezer. I'll be checking in throughout the day to see how you do. ]

::Cally had come extra prepared, in her father's jumpsuit and wearing her toolpouch::

Sir, I guess this means I shouldn't be using these? ::takes off her toolpouch, and sets it down::

Well, this is... interesting.

::puts the duct tape over her wrist like a bracelet, pulls the coat over her jumpsuit, and begins looking around at the what she can find in the freezer::

Re: [SoGothCally's Audition]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

"Sorry. Only your pocket knife, duct tape and what is in the room"

[OOC: This is based on an episode of MacGyver BTW]

Re: [SoGothCally's Audition]

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Well... I'm definitely not gonna be able to just break the door down...

Okay... what've I got to work with?

::continues looking around::

Ice. A couple lightbulbs. Big slabs of meat. Big crate of ice cream... oooh, rocky road. Atleast if I died, I'd die contently. ::giggle::

::pinches the bridge of her nose::

Think, think, think...

[ooc: I know! I just want to draw this out and be fun, cause I know teh Macguyver way out, and I'm trying to come up with something different...]

[2ls_in_oneill's Audition]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac presses a few buttons and Jack finds himself trapped underground in a abandoned mine due to a cave-in. Various materials that you would find in a mine are lying about. Mac hands Jack a virtual Swiss Army Knife and a rolle of duct tape.

"Pretty simple here. Use what you can find here along with tools I gave you to find a way out of the mine."

"Might I start out by saying that the hair looks particularly fluffy today?"



[OOC: Sorry about the lag, typing Psych note for a mid-term tomorrow. Quick question though, any clue what's typical for a mine? I'm city-bred and a young'un so I'm running on blank. All I can picture is one of those hard-hat flashlights and people.]

Gives points for hair compliment

Thanks Jack.

Feel free to come up with a solution before Tuesday. Auditions still in motion...

Re: [2ls_in_oneill's Audition]

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[Oy. Thanks, I had brother/internet problems over the weekend.]

[carter_i_am's Audition]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac presses a button and Carter finds herself in the middle of a chemical processing plant that apparently was hit by an earthquake. There's some messed up vending machines to the side and some scientific equipment about.

But the real problem is the tank of sulfuric acid in front of her that has a hairline fracture and is leaking into the electrical system which may or not explode as a result.

Mac hands Sam a virtual pocket knife and a roll of duct tape.

"You need to find a way to patch the tank using whatever is around you. Duct tape alone will not work."

[OOC: Feel free to use your imagination of what is in the room, but try and keep it limited to what might be in a lab/chemical process facility. I'll be checking in throughout the day to see how you do. ]

Re: [carter_i_am's Audition]

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam walks into the room, pockets bulging. "May I take this stuff in with me, Sir? Damn it. Mac?"

Re: [carter_i_am's Audition]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac smiles. "Nice try Carter. Only the tools I gave you and what's in the room."

[OOC: Of course... some of what's in your pockets can be in the room. Just be somewhat realistic. This was also in an episode of MacGyver.]

[apocalypsesoon 's Audition]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac throws a switch and John finds himself in a hallway righ in front of an executive's office. There's a wet bar and other typical stuff you would find in an office. The hallway is decorated with modern furniture, plants and there's a door to a broom closet.

Mac points to laser eyebeams that stand right in front of the entrance to the office and a picture behind the executive's desk.

"You need to find a way to get past the security system here and break into the electronic lock of a safe behind the picture in the office"

Mac hands John a virtual swiss army knife and a roll of duct tape.

[OOC: Feel free to use your imagination of what is in the room, but try and keep it limited to what might be in a hallway/office process facility. I'll be checking in throughout the day to see how you do. ]

Re: [apocalypsesoon 's Audition]

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

okay, so... the broom closet and the wet bar are in the lobby of the office?

John opened the broom closet and pulled out the spray bottle of cleaner. Misting it in front of the doorway, he revealed the web of laser beams between Our Hero and the doorway. Taking a nearby fiber optic fake plant, he pulled several of the fiber optic tubes out and taped them together to make a single tube long enough to stretch across the doorway with enough slack to wiggle through. He reached through, jimmied the lock open with a credit card, and stopped.

"That's as far as I go, Teach. Don't have equipment to hack an electronic lock. If it was a combo, I could use the phone, but unless I short it out and risk seizing the mechanism, I got bupkis."

Re: [apocalypsesoon 's Audition]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

You sure about that? Maybe there's a way to short out the lock?

[OOC:I would think that if you could hack an ATM at 15 you could do something reasonable here.]

Will you be able to handle teaching classes for two weeks sometime in the Dec/Jan timeframe? Sure Of course, now that I've muffed up the entrance exam.

[phases-of-kitty.livejournal.com]

"Oh, cool! Do you need any help setting up the auditions, Professor?" Kitty asks.

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

"Auditions are already set up. Feel free to phase in and assist with anyone who needs help."

Also please fill out the application form so I have your contact information.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Seeing as how Mac-Mun is gone for the weekend I'm gonna ask you. You have any clue what would be in a mine cave-in? All I can think of are those stupid little flashlight-helmets.]

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

ooc: You should have some sort of link with Mac mun. Come on, Jack....lol!

Re: [2ls_in_oneill's Audition]

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Jack does something and something happens then something else happens so he does something else and suddenly there's a loud "BOOM!" The lights in the room flicker and return to normal except for the words "GAS LEAK. NOW YOU DEAD FROM BOOM," flashing across the room.

[Mun got distracted and forgot. Mun would've died anyway probably though for lack of knowledge...]
