secret tunnel thru the mountain

Characters: [community profile] vatheon + an eventual mystery guest star
Location: island + new area
Time: all week starting monday
Style: any
Status: open - threadhop & theadjack away

[ after the kicked up damage wrought by yami in the south forest quadrant settles down and becomes surveyable by monday, characters are in for a little— or, well, a big surprise that is the secret research facility. the entrance of it is easy enough to find, thanks to the destruction— although a lot of the research facility itself is destroyed as well. the power still works, at least! although whatever network it had seemingly been hooked up to is currently (and likely permanently) offline.

near the ENTRANCE of the facility, characters will likely find a very large chart on one of the walls— it resembles a map with handwritten annotations and will undoubtedly prove useful in further exploration. there's nothing else interesting near the entrance, sans for a few empty desks and a trash bin full of what appears to be torn up employee information of some sort. the other areas that can be found will be as follows:

DORMS

↪ pretty self-explanatory, although they are extremely minimalistic and completely abandoned. it's likely that the scientists made use of these— some of the beds seem a bit unkempt, as though they were recently used; whereas some rooms have full garbage bins with various papers. many of them are unuseful or flat-out irrelevant, others appear to be outdated schedule data— the dates on most of the papers seem to be from a little over a year ago. basically, the bins are filled with what they were made for— trash.

VARIOUS LABS

↪ deeper into the facility, it's obvious that quite a lot of research had been being conducted within— multiple rooms seem to be arranged for just that purpose. most of the rooms are empty or have a lot of strewn tools within them as though they were emptied in a hurry. although one room in particular was left as it was; it's both locked and blocked off though, and might take a little force in order to get into. once inside, a completely white room will be found that might feel familiar to people who had been directly involved in a strange event that had happened quite a while ago... the room is slightly less white than any "experiments" might remember, however. in fact, there seems to be quite a bit of dried blood about the place. the blood can be found on nearly everything in the room— the table accompanied with surgical tools, the cabinet filled with both syringes and old vials of a blue fluid, and a prominent list visible on one of the walls.

MAIN LAB

↪ one lab in particular found further within the facility appears to be bigger and better than all the others— it's also the only lab with a multitude of computers. due to the power being on, computers will be responsive— although because whatever network they once runned on is no longer online, the only data accessible is offline data found within any harddrives or memory devices.

and there is plenty of that. however, any data found is heavily encrypted and unlike anything ever seen before, so even a normally excellent hacker will have a problem getting past the security walls; and the only file that can be opened immediately seems to make no sense whatsoever:

w3spEvU3


furthermore, nearly everything resembling paper evidence has been torn or shredded, as evident by the completely empty and ajar file cabinets— not to mention the fact that there are plenty of scraps of unreadable paper strewn across some parts of the floor.

SUBMARINE EXIT

↪ in the deepest part of the lab is a peculair hallway that seems to drop downward— which is curious, since the facility is located so closely on the edge of the island itself. although everything becomes clear should one reach the room near the end of the lowering hallway— a majority of the equipment is damaged, but it is indeed a submarine exit of some sort. could this be how all of the scientists left so suddenly..? in fact, most of the submarines are missing— sans for one, but it's quite old and probably nonfunctional in its current state. you're fully allowed to try and fix it, but it will take both a team of people and several weeks.

CONTAINMENT UNIT

↪ also in the deeper part of the facility, although closer to the main lab than the submarine exit, is a completely closed off area— mechanical doors and a digital lock that seems to be online block all from entering. the door seems to open automatically for a keycard, but there's also an emergency override function— that activates via a password. blinking in an almost mocking fashion, it prompts you:

enter password: |

[Getting to the new area wasn't all that hard, he'd honestly been expecting more, but the place was abandoned so maybe not. This area made him pause, though. He checked some of the other rooms, letting Sola explore where he wanted, until he came across a door that was closed. Even closed he could make out traces of that familiar scent.]

We have to get in here.

There's blood.
replicatedcourage: (open mouth)

[personal profile] replicatedcourage 2012-08-17 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
There's blood and you want to go in there?

[On second thought, that actually makes sense. Someone could be hurt, or there could be clues or a monster to defeat!]

It's locked so we'll have to find a key.

[He turns around to find another route where maybe a chest with said key may lie. So to the west first...]
not_heavens_adam: (Don't fuck with me)

[personal profile] not_heavens_adam 2012-08-17 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
A key, huh?

[Johnny tested the door with his shoulder and then stepped back.]

I've got a key...

[With that his foot connected with the door hard and splintered the lock, knocking the door in.]
replicatedcourage: (hmph)

[personal profile] replicatedcourage 2012-08-17 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sola simply stares for a long moment. That is not how you're supposed to do things! Locked doors need keys! Still, it is open now so he supposes he can't complain. Not to mention that was pretty cool, Johnny.

Sword and shield at the ready just in case, Sola steps into the room, looking around warily for signs of enemies.]


not_heavens_adam: (Hmmm.....?)

[personal profile] not_heavens_adam 2012-08-17 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Johnny followed after him, the stench of stale, dried blood causing him to give a little hiss; it was everywhere. There was way too much blood for the cause to be anything but violent.]

What happened here....?

[Johnny went to check the cabinets. Syringes and vials of a blue liquid greeted him and took his attention.]
replicatedcourage: (unsure)

[personal profile] replicatedcourage 2012-08-18 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. It looks kind of like there was a fight but not a lot of stuff is broken even if there's blood.

[Sola's not sure what to make of it. He's really no detective. His skills lie in finding the next exit and solving puzzles, not any real sort of sleuthing. Assessing that there's no real threat here, though, Sola sheaths his sword and puts his shield back on his back as he approaches Johnny.]

What's that blue stuff?
not_heavens_adam: (Surprised)

[personal profile] not_heavens_adam 2012-08-18 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes a couple of the vials out and holds them up to look at them better.]

I dunno. But I might know someone who can find out.

[He pocketed the vials and continued looking around. His eyes fell on the list and he moved closer to look at it better.]

These are names...names of people from the bubble.

[Katsu...Izaya...Jacob..Johnny went still and tensed. Eyes locked on the names of the list.

These were the victims of the kidnapping...]
replicatedcourage: (worried about you)

[personal profile] replicatedcourage 2012-08-20 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
..Johnny?

[The look on his face is a bit scary so Sola places a hand on his matesprit's arm, worried for the mood of the other. He can't quite read the list to see who's on it, but if they're people's names...]

Why are people's names here?
not_heavens_adam: (Hate | Anger)

[personal profile] not_heavens_adam 2012-08-24 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't answer for a while, the anger building inside of him as he thought of that day and how much Jacob had hurt from it.

...It had led to him feeling guilty enough that he'd felt the need to do something for Johnny...and he had nearly died because of it. Johnny had almost killed the only person who'd mattered at that time. Jacob had been all he had back then.

And these people had almost taken him from the vampire.

Johnny ripped the list from the wall and tore it up. He swung his arm at the nearest set of blood covered cupboards, smashing and splintering them and sending them crashing to the ground. The table with the tools soon found itself overturned and anything freestanding was ripped apart by the whirlwind of an angry vampire.

He just wanted this place destroyed. Destroyed and gone and unable to hurt anyone else.

Finally, he stopped, heart racing and breathing heavy, he was vaugely aware that his hand and forearm were bleeding from where he'd smashed the cabinets....but he couldn't find it in him to care. He sighed and brougt his non-injured arm up to wipe at his face; when he spoke his voice was quiet and a little rough from the strain of trying not to cry.]


....sorry....

[Sola was still there....Sola had seen him freak out...and then there was guilt added to the medly of other emotions in his system. He wasn't supposed to freak out in front of Sola. He didn't need to see that part of Johnny...the part of him that was ruled by raw emotion and prone to loosing control if not kept in check.]

[Sola is no stranger to tantrums. He throws them quite a lot over things, paltry or not. This, however, is completely different.

He would be lying if he said it wasn't at all frightening. The intense snarl on Johnny's face, the crashing of beakers and smashing of wood. The scene after is like the aftermath of a hurricane, overturned chairs and tables, broken glass carpeting the floor.

But the only thing concerning Sola is Johnny. Yes, the vampire may have shattered or buried any kind of clue that they had to this place; that list, for instance, might have been important, but what takes precedence is that look on Johnny's face.]


Are you okay?

[Without hesitation, Sola puts a hand on Johnny's arm gently and looks up at the taller man. Even the replica knows that's probably a stupid question but it's the only thing that comes to mind.]
not_heavens_adam: (Depressed)

[personal profile] not_heavens_adam 2012-08-24 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sighed and nodded.]

Yeah...

[He brought his injured arm up to his lips and ran his tongue across it then did the same with his hand.]

I'm sorry...I lost control.

It's just...this isn't a good place.
replicatedcourage: (neutral looking off)

[personal profile] replicatedcourage 2012-08-24 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should go back to the bubble. I can keep looking for stuff.

[He is an adventurer after all, or at least he's modeled after one. He knows how to traverse dungeons and temples and a secret lab isn't all that different (though apparently keys are a take it or leave it sort of thing here...)]
not_heavens_adam: (Soft Look | Hey there)

[personal profile] not_heavens_adam 2012-08-25 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He shook his head and Moved to take the hand that was on his arm.]

No...let's just leave this area.

Besides~ Can't just leave you on your own, you know~ What kind of a boyfriend would I be~?

[He just wanted to leave, whether that meant going home or continuing to explore, he didn't care, just...not this room.
replicatedcourage: (tsuntsun)

[personal profile] replicatedcourage 2012-08-27 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I can do stuff on my own. I'm made from a hero, you know.

[There's little punch to his retort though. He's mostly worried about Johnny despite his curiosity about this place. Maybe he'll come back alone once Johnny's feeling better, but for now going back seems to be the best option.]

Let's just go back, okay?
not_heavens_adam: (In the distance)

[personal profile] not_heavens_adam 2012-09-08 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He wants to argue, he still feels bad for his outburst, but he also doesn't really feel up to arguing with Sola. He nods and slips his hand around his boyfreind's and begins leading them out.

Maybe he'd come back and look around again with a clearer mind....or maybe he'd just tie this in with his feelings of the island in general: a bad place better left alone and forgotten.]
