The Kludge's Guide to the Universe | Dangershop, Wednesday Afternoon (Week 4)

[theharperisgood.livejournal.com]

"Now that you've mastered the art of the clever escape, it's time to master the speedy one."

Harper tapped a control, bringing up the empty cells from last week. "After all, breaking out of your cell is only the beginning."

"Your objective today is to make it to the spaceport on the other side of this dangerous, seedy city. You can split up, stay together, try to meet up with other escapees, then beg, bluff, and bribe your way though the city. One caveat though, keep violence to a minimum, not only does it attract attention, attacking your pursuers makes it personal. This goes double for deaths. You kill someone? You fail the exercise, as does everyone you're with at the time."

[ooc: The guards and inhabitants of the city are moddable for the most part since I'm kinda brain dead tonight but there might be a surprise or two.]

The City (Kludge - Wk4)

[theharperisgood.livejournal.com]

A wretched hive of scum and villany.

The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[theharperisgood.livejournal.com]

Strength in numbers.

Jamie exits out into the street and does his best to blend into the crowd. "Where do we go from here?"

Aeryn's a little cautious to walk outside, not sure of what the weather would be like. If it had been weather like Fandom, this would pretty much have to be over. "Um," she says, and would hug the weather here if she could. "Spaceport. There'd have to be some sort of transportation that way."

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie looked around trying to find anything that resembled a spaceport whether that be a sign or building or...

"Okay any ideas on how to get there? Because I'm being the typical male here and I'm refusing to ask for directions."

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

"Usually they're in a central location," she says. "Head towards the center of the city, keep an eye out for tourists."

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie looked around and started heading toward what he thought would be the center of the city. "So what do alien tourists look like," Jamie said in a sotto tone of voice. "Because I'm not seeing any Hawaiian shirts or anything like that.

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

"Luggage, usually," she says, looking up at the sky as she walks like she's expecting the sun to come out any second. "People who look like they have no idea where they're headed, or are in a rush..."

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"So basically we're looking for us but without the luggage," Jamie quipped and then looked up. "Why do you keep looking at the sky?"

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[can_be_more]

"Checking the weather," she says, which is the truth. "Looking for rain." That's not.

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Why? Are you going to melt?" Jamie joked and then elbowed Aeryn and nodded over to two humanoids carrying luggage and wearing loud garish clothing. "What do you think?"

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[can_be_more]

Aeryn nods, casually changing direction to follow them. "My species doesn't melt. Does yours?"

From Here (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/961906.html?thread=51076978#t51076978):

"You've got way too much experience with this," Cameron decided, but he did as she told him and tried to look casual but in a hurry to get to work. He hoped that's how he looked anyway as they headed in to the city.

"Occupational hazard," Sam muttered, matching her stride to his. She saw a few troopers and stopped to look over the merchandise at one of the stalls. Sam squealed with girly happiness in an attempt to catch Cameron's attention.

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

That definitely got his attention. Cameron almost jumped, thinking the worst as he really wasn't used to Sam squealing. Happy or not. "What?"

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Look casual," Sam said, reaching for his hand. "Pretend to shop."

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Casual. Right. Holding hands was normal. Yep.

Cameron looked at whatever Sam was holding. "That looks really lovely, honey." He wondered what it was.

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam raised an eyebrow at him and mouthed honey?

She held it up against him--it was a men's mud brown linen tunic, but it had nice border embroidery in gold and silver.

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He shrugged. She was the one who told him to be casual after all. He tried not to look at the troopers.

When he realised what she was doing, his eyes went wide and he looked down at the dress-thingie. "I'm not sure brown is my colour."

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

"Hmmm, you may be right," she took her time folding it carefully, thanked the merchant, and walked on to the next booth. The guards walked within five feet of them, and she tried not to tense.

"God, I hate my hair sometimes. It's such a giveaway," she said, after they were out of earshot.

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron looked up at her hair. "Well, I'm thinking it draws attention for other reasons," he remarked before quickly pretending to check out the jewlery they were displaying.

Re: The City - Teams (Kludge - Wk4)

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam glanced around, "I think it's clear." She made a beeline towards the outskirts of town, walking like she'd had a fight with Cameron--briskly, but keeping an eye out for trouble.

The City - Loners (Kludge - Wk4)

[theharperisgood.livejournal.com]

We don't need no steenking numbers.

Re: The City - Loners (Kludge - Wk4)

The map was helpful, but it would've been even more helpful had the directions been in English, and had Tempe had even an inkling as to where she started from. A nice big arrow saying You Are Here would've been nice.

Still, many an hour, a wrong turn or 12 and several dozen colourful characters who weren't the least bit trustworthy later, Tempe was finally making her way toward the spaceport. A little bruised, a little dirty, but nonetheless still in one piece, she hoped this little simulation would be over soon. She was tired.

Using the map, John wonders what Tyr would do in this situation.

After thinking on that for awhile, he decides that Tyr's far too bulky and just follows the map out of town, falling into mud at times, getting hit by an errant elbow to the nose.

And now he's thinking that being Tyr would help because he could've decked Mr. Sharp Elbow.

Still, Tyr isn't quick and he'd probably only run if Harper called because they were obviously so in love.

John gets a beer thrown at him by one local who thinks, by moving his daughter aside with an arm, that he'd proposed to her and he didn't much like that.

Stupid city.

The city was Fry's undoing. There was a bar. A bar that didn't card him. A bar that didn't card him with colorful futuristic drinks. Even the drinks in the year 3000 weren't this pretty, but then they were pretty much into being 20th century retro with their drinks.

He ran into the bar and ordered the biggest, funkiest colored drink.
