[MWAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHA! HAHA! MWAHAHAHAHA-ack, *cough* *cough* *cough*--EvilScyphi]
[Hey, don't stop! Keep going!--Scyphi]
[Sorry. Now where was I? Ah yes...MWAHAHAHAHAHA! HEEHEEHEE! WHOOHOOHOO! HAHAHA!--[EvilScyphi]
[*suddenly appearing* What are you two doing?--SmartScyphi]
[*jumps* GAH! *fumes for a moment* when are you guys going to STOP doing that?--Scyphi]
[Just answer the question.--SmartScyphi]
[Keep laughing, EvilScyphi!--Scyphi]
[I AM! MWAHAHAHAHA!--EvilScyphi]
[*suddenly appearing* Ohh, what are we laughing about?--StupidScyphi]
[GAH!--Scyphi]
[Can I laugh too? I'm really good! Watch! MWAHAHAHA!--StupidScyphi]
[*covers ears* Why must we keep doing that stupid laugh?--SmartScyphi]
[To set the mood!--Scyphi]
[Why?--SmartScyphi]
[Because I'm having an evil genius moment here! And it'll be done in 3...2...1!--Scyphi]
*Microwave dings*
[IT'S FINISHED!--Scyphi]
[MWAHAHAHAHAHA!--EvilScyphi]
[:D--StupidScyphi]
[:D?--SmartScyphi]
[It says a lot, don't you think?--StupidScyphi]
[Well, they do say a picture says a thousand words. But what is it that you've made, Scyphi?--SmartScyphi]
[*opens microwave and pulls out a vile* THIS!--Scyphi]
[*suddenly appears* Coconut.--RandomScyphi]
[GAH! *fumbles with the vile for a moment*--Scyphi]
[Ooooh, what's the thingy? *grabs for the vile*--RandomScyphi]
[*pulls it out of reach* If you really must know...--Scyphi]
[Of course I do. You must satisfy my sudden curiosity for random objects before I get REALLY annoying.--RandomScyphi]
[Hold on, before I do, I just thought of something. Seeing that all of you guys are really me, shouldn't you know already EXACTLY what I'm up to?--Scyphi]
[Yes and no. See, we are the physical manifestations of your various personality traits, so thereby we're still you, but we also have separate consciousness, so at the same time, we're NOT you, and thereby don't know everything you know. Otherwise, you would know everything we know. For example, if you knew everything I know, you would know what twelve times twelve was.--SmartScyphi]
[That's 212.--Scyphi]
[No.--SmartScyphi]
[Oh. Well, I was close, wasn't I?--Scyphi]
[No.--SmartScyphi]
[Oh. *thinks for a moment* But then, you told me once that I really DO have that smart part of me hidden away somewhere, so shouldn't I still know?--Scyphi]
[You do. You just suppress it, and thereby can't readily access it. This is why...--SmartScyphi]
[*interrupting* Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah, what's the thingy?--RandomScyphi]
[You mean this? *holds up vile*--Scyphi]
[Yes! Tell me what it is!--RandomScyphi]
[Well, seeing that you guys can't seem to leave me alone, I took matters into my own hands, and made THIS!--Scyphi]
[*getting frustrated* and that IS?--RandomScyphi]
[The cure.--Scyphi]
[The cure to what?--StupidScyphi]
[*grins evilly* Multiple Personality Disorder, also known as MPD.--Scyphi]
*long moment of silence*
[You did WHAT?--SmartScyphi]
[He's mad! I always knew he was! I TOLD all of you twerps we needed to leave him alone, or he might try something like this!--RandomScyphi]
[Hey, don't go pinning this on us! If this is anybody's fault, it's YOURS, because YOU wouldn't leave him alone!--EvilScyphi]
[A fact that I'm conveniently overlooking at this time.--RandomScyphi]
[*Ludicrous* You made a CURE for MPD? Do you REALIZE what you've DONE?--SmartScyphi]
[Of course I've realize what I've done, I realize that the moment I open this vile and let out it's contents, all of YOU will be eradicated FOREVER! And then I can FINALLY get back to my life!--Scyphi]
[:o--StupidScyphi]
[Now wait a minute, wait a minute, how did you manage to pull this off? You aren't smart enough to just suddenly start making life-altering cures for life-essential things like MPD!--RandomScyphi]
[True. Which is why over the past several weeks I've been discreetly asking SmartScyphi several loaded questions to get him slowly tell me the instructions to make this cure without even realizing it.--Scyphi]
*all look at SmartScyphi*
[*sheepishly* Oops.--SmartScyphi]
[*slaps SmartScyphi* Way to go, stupid!--RandomScyphi]
[Hey! I'M Stu...ooh look, something shiny! *runs off*--StupidScyphi]
[Now, without further ado, I shall end the madness that is MPD for eveyone once and for all! *goes to open vile*--Scyphi]
[NOOO! I'm too young to die! *grabs vile and runs off* There are still random things I need to do! Random movies to quote! Random people to impersonate! I haven't even gotten the chance to say "teh randomness" yet!--RandomScyphi]
[*runs after him* Hey! Get back here! That's MY vile!--Scyphi]
[You gotta catch me first!--RandomScyphi]
*sees that Scyphi is gaining on him*
[Ack! I didn't mean it! Go away! Go AWAY!--RandomScyphi]
*gets tackled by Scyphi*
*Fighting ensues*
*Finally, Scyphi emerges victorious*
[Ah ha! It's mine again!--Scyphi]
[*suddenly appears and grabs the vile* Not anymore! *suddenly vanishes*--SmartScyphi]
[Hey! No fair using that...that...APPEARING thing!--Scyphi]
[*suddenly appears several feet away and turns and runs* You gotta think outside the box! But then I suppose you just aren't smart enough for that! *trips on a rock, falls, and drops vile* Crap!--SmartScyphi]
[You gotta watch where you're going, too!--Scyphi]
[*returning* Shiny, shiny, shiny, I love shiny things. *vile falls into his hands* Huh? What's this?--StupidScyphi]
[*hurrying over* Hey, StupidScyphi, give that to me!--Scyphi]
[*Waving his hands* No, no, no, give it here!--RandomScyphi]
[Ummmm.... *looks at vile in his hand* ...but it's so shiny!--StupidScyphi]
[StupidScyphi! PLEASE give it to me!--Scyphi]
[:P--StupidScyphi]
[Hey! *stops to think, then points* Look StupidScyphi! Something shiny!--Scyphi]
[*turns* Where?--StupidScyphi]
[*grabs vile* Ha ha! Who's victorious now?--Scyphi]
[*suddenly appears and punches Scyphi*--RandomScyphi]
[...ow. *drops vile*--Scyphi]
[*grabs vile* Ah ha! Now the MPD forum is safe again! Let's celebrate! Random coconuts for everyone!--RandomScyphi]
*gun clicks*
[If you'd like to keep your head and not have ol' Bessy blast it away, you'd better not move.--EvilScyphi]
[*freezes* Not moving. Look at how not moving I'm not moving at the moment.--RandomScyphi]
[*grabs vile* Here you go, Scyphi, here's your vile back.--EvilScyphi]
[*takes it* Thank you!--Scyphi]
[So you're on HIS side?--SmartScyphi]
[Why do you think I was providing all that evil laughter for him earlier?--EvilScyphi]
[But why?--SmartScyphi]
[A cure capable of lots of death, destruction, and wiping out whole forums from existence? How could I NOT side with that?--EvilScyphi]
[But if you let him use that cure, you'll be wiped out too!--RandomScyphi]
[A fact that I'm conveniently overlooking at the moment.--EvilScyphi]
[*rolls eyes* Oh, the irony.--RandomScyphi]
[*goes to open vile* Ha ha! Now nothing can top me!--Scyphi]
[*suddenly appears and grabs vile* No! I can't let you! Think of all the innocent personalities you'll be killing!--RandomScyphi]
[*grabs vile as well and yanks* It's not like I'm killing the owner of those personalities, just their physical manifestations!--Scyphi]
[*yanks back* It's still genocide! Now let go!--RandomScyphi]
[You let go!--Scyphi]
[YOU let go!--RandomScyphi]
[YOU let go!--Scyphi]
[Uh, guys...--SmartScyphi]
[*all together* WHAT?]
[Um, this might be a bad time, but I feel I should point out that we've been surrounded by some very shady and shadowy, creepy, unidentifiable people in black suits and sunglasses.--SmartScyphi]
*they all look*
[Agh! It's the Men in Black! *cowers*--RandomScyphi]
[No, no, I think they're here to get the cure, to keep YOU from using it, Scyphi!--SmartScyphi]
[*gasp* You mean...--Scyphi]
[Yeah! They're the moderators for the MPD Forum! And if you destroy it, they'll be out of a job! They can't let you use that cure!--SmartScyphi]
[*looks at all the shady suits encircling and approaching him* Um...*throws vile to RandomScyphi* here, catch!--Scyphi]
[*catches it, then looks at army of shady suits heading towards him* Um... *throws it to SmartScyphi* Think fast, smartypants!--RandomScyphi]
[*catches it, and looks around for someone else to throw it to* EvilScyphi! Go along!--SmartScyphi]
[*is shooting at encroaching army of suits* Kind of busy here!--EvilScyphi]
[Um...*sees suits and looks for another person to throw to* StupidScyphi, quick, catch this!--SmartScyphi]
[Huh? *vile falls into open hands* Again?--StupidScyphi]
[*fighting off shady suits* Quick, StupidScyphi, don't let them get the vile!--Scyphi]
[*looks at approaching suits* Um...okay. *turns and throws vile out of post*--StupidScyphi]
[NOO! If nobody catches that vile in the next post, then MPD as we know it is dead!--RandomScyphi]
[Yay! Here's hoping nobody catches it! *gets tackled by suits* Ow.--Scyphi]
*all get tackled and hauled away at ludicrous speeds*
-
[Quick, Fixer! Use your grapple beam to get that vile!-Zero]
*He slung his left fist towards the flying vile. A beam was emitted and it encased the vile in a form of energy. He jerked back his fist and opened his hand to catch it.* [Got it!-Fixer]
[Nice job! Let's get back to the dropship. We'll be taking these bums and their vile to the Novak prison on Phobos. The scientists will be wanting to look this over. Perhaps we can alter it to create even MORE personality disorders! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAA!!!!-Zero]
[Sir?-Fixer]
[Ahem. Sorry about that.-Zero]
*The Scyphis and the vile were taken to the prison facility. The Scyphis were locked up and the vile was suspended above a pedestal in a movie cliché-like room.*

[InsanityBrains: I think the word you're all looking for is "Vial"]
[InsanityKiller: you would]
-
A shrubbery! You must return here with a shrubbery or you will never pass through this world... Alive!

[I suddenly had the nigh-irresistable temptation to lock this thread. -D2Irony]
[... Where did you come from? I thought we left you in that truck stop back on Europa. -Meat&Potatoes]
[I hitchhiked back. -D2Irony]
[That makes perfect sense, unfortunately. And SniperJunkie, since when did you even own a black suit? -Meat&Potatoes]
[Since I wanted to intimidate other forum users into giving me their precious cargo. -SniperJunkie]
[Since he's been unsuccessful at actually stealing their precious cargo. -HopelessCynic]
[Trouble on Phobos, guys. The *Zeros have acquired a cure for MPD from the *Scyphis, which is bad enough. But now they want to alter the virus to create more personalities. -ModMan]
[Unnnnngggghhhhh.... - Zombified RockstarJunkie]
[Or to create hoards of reanimated personalities from very bad MPD's past. -HopelessCynic]
[I might have gotten some on my tie. -SniperJunkie]
[AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! - @Random]
-
[InsanityKiller: More personalities, is this really what we need?]
[InsanityBrains: I doubt it. I'm already having to share brain cells with manafestations of all of InsanityBringer's interests and obsessions]
[InsanityRydia: I heard that! Don't make me get bahamut after you!]
[InsanityBrains: See what I mean? This really isn't the best situation we're in.]
[InsanityKiller: Actually, I think I like her... (http://basementnet.us/ryan/pdsmilies/evileye.jpg)]
[InsanityTech: We have more important things to deal with though -- perhaps recovering that vial will be the first step]
[PortalInsanity: And then throw it into a fire!]
[InsanityBrains: Fetch for DoomInsanity, we'll have him go in]
[InsanityTech: I'm on it! /me runs into com room]
[BrainlessInsanity: me come long two?]
[InsanityBrains: I think you know the response to that]

*Meanwhile, in an unknown prison facility...*
[You know, I've never been in jail before. This is entirely a new experience for me.--RandomScyphi]
[Of course you would grin at the thought of being locked up in prison.--Scyphi]
[It's nothing new for me, I've been in jail loads of times.--EvilScyphi]
[How? You're really me, and I know that I have NEVER been in jail before now. I'm the ideal citizen. So how can YOU have been in jail before?--Scyphi]
[It's a quantum physics thing. I'll explain it another day. Maybe some day when we're not all locked together in one prison cell.--SmartScyphi]
[:(--StupidScyphi]
[Ah, cheer up, StupidScyphi, some day we'll remember this and laugh. And laugh. And laugh. *sighs* Ohhh boy.--RandomScyphi]
[Well, on the bright side, we're all still here, so obviously somebody caught the vile StupidScyphi threw.--SmartScyphi]
[That's a bad thing for me! I don't wanna be stuck here in this MPD forum thing.--Scyphi]
[Aw c'mon, you KNOW you secretly love it!--RandomScyphi]
[I DO NOT!--Scyphi]
[It'll grow on you the longer you stay here!--RandomScyphi]
[I'm not listening! LA LA LA LA!--Scyphi]
[There'll be cake later!--RandomScyphi]
[Don't listen to him, the cake's a lie.--SmartScyphi]
[HEY! Don't RUIN the surprise for him!--RandomScyphi]
[*standing up* All right, that's it, we are getting out of here before I get any madder and kill something.--EvilScyphi]
[*perking up* Now you're talking! Let's get out of here, and get back my cure!--Scyphi]
[NOOO! No cure for you!--RandomScyphi]
[Actually, RandomScyphi, Scyphi's right, we DO need to, at the very least, get the vile back out of the hands of whoever's got it.--SmartScyphi]
[We do? I mean...of course we do! *pause* Why do we?--RandomScyphi]
[Well, theoretically, that cure could be altered so that instead of eradicating MPD as we know it, it'll enhance it ten fold.--SmartScyphi]
[How is that a bad thing for anybody except Scyphi?--EvilScyphi]
[Because MPD is chaotic in nature, and all of that chaoticness in one spot could, theoretically, tear the universe apart.--SmartScyphi]
[Oooh. That's bad. Right?--StupidScyphi]
[Sounds like just another walk in the park for us MPD personalities.--RandomScyphi]
[Well, I will give you guys that much, then, your lives are never boring.--Scyphi]
[AH HA! I KNEW you liked it here!--RandomScyphi]
[I didn't say that!--Scyphi]
[ENOUGH ARGUING! Let's just focus on getting out this cell for right now, all right?--EvilScyphi]
[But how are we going to do that? We're in here, and the button that opens the cell is over THERE.*points out between the prison bars to where the button sits on opposite wall*--SmartScyphi]
[*pokes one arm between the bars to try and reach the button but fails* Nope, too far to reach.--StupidScyphi]
[Too bad we don't have anything we can throw.--Scyphi]
[Gotcha covered. *pulls out a knife*--EvilScyphi]
[Whoa! You managed to sneak that past the Men in Black?--RandomScyphi]
[Yep!--EvilScyphi]
*Steps up to the bars and throws knife at button. He misses*
[Darn it!--Scyphi]
[Don't worry, I've got another! *pulls out another knife*--EvilScyphi]
*He throws it, and misses again*
[Darn it again!--Scyphi]
[We're not finished yet! *pulls out another knife*--EvilScyphi]
*He throws it, it misses*
[Boy, you aren't very good at this knife throwing thing, are you?--RandomScyphi]
[Just shut up!--EvilScyphi]
*pulls out another knife and throws it. It misses*
[Grrr!--EvilScyphi]
*several minutes later*
[C'mon, EvilScyphi, you didn't take that online knife throwing class for nothing...--EvilScyphi]
*pulls out another knife, throws it, and misses*
[That's knife 124.--StupidScyphi]
[Where are you keeping all of those knives anyway?--Scyphi]
[*pulls out another knife* You don't wanna know.--EvilScyphi]
*he throws it and misses*
[Knife 125.--StupidScyphi]
[AUGH! There must be a forcefield or an invisible knife-repulsion-barrier around that button!--EvilScyphi]
[There's no such thing!--SmartScyphi]
[*gets a thought* Hey, you know, we're doing this the hard way.--RandomScyphi]
*He suddenly vanishes, then reappears next to the button. Smirking, he presses it. The cell door opens*
[*slaps face* Why didn't we think of that sooner?--SmartScyphi]
[ :-\--StupidScyphi]
[C'mon guys, let's go find that vile!--Scyphi]
*They sneak out of the cell at not-so-ludicrous speeds*
-
(Did you get that knife throwing idea from Ronon from Stargate Atlantis? :D)
-
[InsanityTech: Good news from the prison: the Scyphis appear to be free and on the march for the vile]
[InsanityBrains: That's VIAL FOR PETES SAKE!]
[InsanityTech: So sue me]
[LawyerInsanity: I expect you in the court Tuesday for your hearing]
[InsanityTech: Screw you]
-
Lol @ "online knife throwing class"...
I can see why it's hard for EvilScyphi to throw well.
-
(@ NUMBERzero: As a matter of fact, yes. 'Cept I think EvilScyphi has somehow managed to carry even more knives on his personage than Ronan. :P)
-
[Here comes a cover of The Cure!] - Melomaniac-Priest
[It's pink! Run away!] - Hardcore-Metal-Priest
-
[The N.I.P]: I don't want a cure for MPD! I only just got the diagnosis and I want to try it out!
[Ferretfire]: Shut up
-
[InsanityBrains: looks like modifications weren't needed in the first place. We're already getting more personalities here!]
[MinecraftInsanity: oh hey guys]
[InsanityTech: hey, what do you want with us?]
[InsanityRydia: Oh I invited him here from another part of the brain. You people were getting boring]
[MinecraftInsanity: That's right. In fact, on the trip here, I found a fair amount of iron. I can't wait to smelt this stuff and make some new tools!]
[InsanityBrains: Wait, did you just say you... tunneled through the brain with a pickaxe?]
[MinecraftInsanity: It's a possibility... Either that or I just got yanked from some alternate universe. I remember things being a lot more cubic]
[BrainlessInsanity: hey look its a blue shirt guy hi blue shirt guy what do you want blue shirt guy]
[InsanityBrains: On second thought, I'd say that you did tunnel through the brain]
[InsanityKiller: Uh, is this when I come in?]
[InsanityTech: This is my computer room! No need to get violent here!]
-
[Xaph]Who needs a cure, I just invented a TIME MACHINE!!!
[Ferretfire]Shut up.
[FoxCannon]Dude you need to get more of a personality.
[Ferretfire]I'm working on it, it seems I got less of his personality than any other fragment.
[The N.I.P]Who are we anyway?
[FoxCannon]No idea.
[Xaph]Whoever it is was probably a total loser, like a motivational speaker with stage fright.
[Ferretfire]Says the raccoon who looks like he's wearing geeky glasses instead of a bandit mask.
[Xaph]Shut up.
[Otterhawk]Well whoever he was he's completely dissociated, the original person doesn't exist anymore.
[The N.I.P]Speaking of which, why are we animals? Wasn't the guy human?
[FoxCannon]Maybe we're animal attributes of his different personality parts?
[The N.I.P]But I have no idea what kind of animal I am. Don't humans only attribute personalities to common animals?
[FoxCannon]I suppose... then I have no idea why.
[Ferretfire]In any case we're probably beyond cure.
[Otterhawk]Yeah.
[The N.I.P]Definitely.
-
*Meanwhile, still wandering around in an unknown prison facility...*
[Gee, this is sure is taking a lot longer than I thought it would.--Scyphi]
[Yeah, it's been...what...an hour since we got out of that cell and started wandering around?--StupidScyphi]
[I, uh, think it's been a bit longer than that, StupidScyphi.--Scyphi]
[Oh. I think I'm missing that show I wanted to see, then...--StupidScyphi]
[Sorry, but this prison is just crawling with traps waiting for us to trigger, so we gotta proceed carefully.--SmartScyphi]
[Otherwise, we stumble into some rather painful traps. Like that pit of porcupines we fell into. Ooh, that was not fun. I'm still picking quills out of my...--EvilScyphi]
[Too much information!--Scyphi]
[Oh, it's not that bad, is it? We've only triggered exactly 500 traps during our wanderings and we're still alive, aren't we? And didn't we have some fun, though? *nudges Scyphi* Remember when you were sliding into the fire pit and I said "Goodbye," and you were like, "NO WAY," and then I was all...--RandomScyphi]
[Would you stop it with the Portal quotes already? You could send StupidScyphi into another panic attack. You KNOW that game scares the living daylights out of him.--SmartScyphi]
[Particularly "she-who-must-not-be-named."--EvilScyphi]
[*innocently* Who? GLaDOS?--RandomScyphi]
[*freezes* EEP! :o The crazy computer lady! AHHHHH! *goes into a panic attack*--StupidScyphi]
[*sighs* Don't worry, I've got another tranquilizer dart here.--EvilScyphi]
*Loads dart into Ol' Bessy and shoots it at StupidScyphi*
*StupidScyphi freezes for a moment, then falls over and promptly starts snoring, in a deep sleep*
[*picks up StupidScyphi to carry* Can't believe I'm doing this again...*at RandomScyphi*...You know you owe me big for doing all of this, right? I HATE helping people. So you had better pay me back GOOD for all of this...icky...good...stuff I've been forced to do.--EvilScyphi]
[And if you don't want to owe him anything more, you had better stop quoting Portal.--Scyphi]
[But-but-but...now what will I quote?--RandomScyphi]
[Well this IS a Descent-related forum, isn't it? So do some Descent quotes!--Scyphi]
[*thinks for a moment* I can't think of anything to quote that makes fun of our present situation.--RandomScyphi]
[Well, keep thinking until you do. Maybe that'll keep you quiet for awhile.--EvilScyphi]
[I heard that!--RandomScyphi]
[Hey! I think I've found it! I think the cure is behind this door!--SmartScyphi]
[Really? How can you be sure?--Scyphi]
[The "MPD Cure safe-keeping and storage room, anyone with the name 'Scyphi' is not permitted to proceed beyond this point" sign might have clued me in.--SmartScyphi]
[Well great! Let's get in there, grab the cure, keep it away from Scyphi, and get out of here!--EvilScyphi]
[*tries knob* The door's locked.--SmartScyphi]
[Can't you pick the lock?--Scyphi]
[It's electronic. You don't pick electronic locks, you hack into them, and I don't have my laptop with me.--SmartScyphi]
[*thinks for a moment* Well, I guess we're just we're just going to have to use our heads and come up with a solution.--EvilScyphi]
[*glances at StupidScyphi in EvilScyphi's arms* Hmm...use our heads...--RandomScyphi]
*a short while later*
[*slowly waking up and notices everyone is holding him up and flat on his back* Hi guys, what are you doing?--StupidScyphi]
[Using your head--RandomScyphi]
*all start running towards door, intending to use StupidScyphi as a battering ram*
[*noticing* But I don't want to use my head!--StupidScyphi]
*thud*
[Ow!--StupidScyphi]
[Again!--RandomScyphi]
*thud*
[OW!--StupidScyphi]
[Again!--RandomScyphi]
*thud*
*crack*
*crash*
[OWWWWowwwOWWW!--StupidScyphi]
[We're thorough!--RandomScyphi]
[And look! There's the cure! It's over there on that little platform!--Scyphi]
[Which, I note, happens to be surrounded by a mote of molten rock.--SmartScyphi]
[And the only way to get to it is by that narrow, rickety, and probably booby-trapped bridge.--EvilScyphi]
*look at each other for a long moment*
[So...who's going to go get the cure?--Scyphi]
[Maybe we should flip for it.--RandomScyphi]
[Nah, we just need someone...stupid enough...to go.--EvilScyphi]
*all look at StupidScyphi*
[Oh! You mean me?--StupidScyphi]
[You're stupid, right?--RandomScyphi]
[Ooh! Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm very stupid!--StupidScyphi]
[I don't know...you sure you're stupid enough?--EvilScyphi]
[What are we talking about again?--StupidScyphi]
[Good enough. Go and fetch the MPD cure, StupidScyphi!--RandomScyphi]
[Yay!--StupidScyphi]
*runs out onto the bridge, and gets most of the way across it before it's bolts suddenly snap and it falls into the pit of lava. With a yelp, StupidScyphi jumps the rest of the way and manages to grab the ledge of the platform the cure was on. Pulling himself up onto the platform, he grabs the cure and waves it in the air in victory at the others*
[Well great. He's got the cure. But now he's trapped over there with the bridge collapsed.--Scyphi]
['Ohh, you came so close, didn't you?' *chuckles* 'Poor Material Defender!' *nudges Scyphi with a grin* There, I did a Descent quote!--RandomScyphi]
[Doesn't help us figure out how we're going to get StupidScyphi back over here so we can get out of here.--EvilScyphi]
[*notices something* And it gets worse. Look, there's a security camera. *points at the wall behind StupidScyphi* The bad guys can probably see everything we're doing in here. We stay here for too long, and they're going to catch us again.--SmartScyphi]
[A security camera? That's it! Hey StupidScyphi! GLaDOS is watching you!--RandomScyphi]
[Huh? *turns around and sees the camera* EEP! :o The crazy computer lady! AHHHHHHHH! *goes into a panic attack and runs off the platform and into the lava moat* AH! HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT! *Runs quickly through the moat to the other side and climbs to safety. EvilScyphi grabs a fire extinguisher and uses it on StupidScyphi's feet* Ahhhhhh, that's better!--StupidScyphi]
[*grabs cure from him* Ah ha! I've got the cure yet again! MWAHAHAHA!--Scyphi]
[Oh no you don't! *snatches vile from Scyphi* We can't trust you to hold that.--SmartScyphi]
[Awww! :(--Scyphi]
[Hey! That's my bit!--StupidScyphi]
[Look, we got the cure! Can we go now?--EvilScyphi]
[We'd better, we're probably going to have a bunch of bad guys chasing us real soon if we don't.--SmartScyphi]
*They hurry for the exit at ludicrous speeds*
-
The fivesome, minus Otterhawk, wake up in a strange place...
[Xaph]Where are we?
[FoxCannon]Looks like some kind of prison cell.
[FerretFire]*wakes up*Ooooooh, migraine.
[The N.I.P]Well, snap out of it, we need to get out of here.
[FerretFire]What's with the thumping?... sounds like there are a bunch of Random, Stupid, and Evil people stomping around on the next post up.
[FoxCannon]Yeah it does... they must be looking for something.
[Xaph]Would that something be us by any chance?
[FoxCannon]I doubt it, I heard them say something about a vial.
[Xaph]I didn't hear any talking...?
[FoxCannon]Foxes have better ears.
[FerretFire]I'm glad I'm not a fox then...
[The N.I.P]If you have a migrane you probably shouldn't talk.
[FerretFire]Sure...
[The N.I.P]You guys have any idea how we got here?
[FoxCannon]No, last thing I remember we were on a prairie and had just heard about some kind of cure and it upset Xaph because he had just made a time machine...
[Xaph]...uhh... Moving on, maybe we can signal to the people above us somehow?...
[FoxCannon]How would you suggest doing that?
[Xaph]I dunno, you and The N.I.P are the brains here when it comes to practical matters. I'm just the gadget inventor.
[The N.I.P]Hmm...
to be bafflingly continued...
-
[InsanityTech: locking on.... Found it! They've escaped and have the vial!]
[InsanityBrains: Ok, cool. Now they just need to not murder themselves over the vial]
*The two are suddenly inturrupted by a dragon roaring, a few explosions, a couple of crashing waves, and what sounds like a baby crying and screaming*
[InsanityTech: ... What the crap was that!?]
[InsanityBrains: Dare I ask....]
*KillerInsanity walks in, looking tired and somewhat beat*
[InsanityKiller: Emergency! That green-clothed girl and miner are currently sending all sorts of beasts after each other in some form of duel]

[Alieo] DAH! What happened to this guys? This was very good! Then it just ends???
[Alieus] I suppose so. And it ended on "Black Friday" of all days
[Alieo] Pah! Imagine that... hey, that was our birthday wasn't it?
[Alieus] Yup! We sure got old.
[Alieo] Tell me about it. 10 years is a long time.
[Alieus] Wait, I'm 8.
[Alieo] That's right. You were created two years after I was.
[Alieus] Yep. But, by who?
[Alieo] Who do you think? None other than N...
*LOUD THUNDERING FROM ABOVE FOLLOWED BY ECHOEY VOICE* SILENCE!!!
[Alieo & Alieus] Wh-wh-who's THAT?
[ME] ME! THE NAME IS NOT IMPORTANT ON THE FORUMS!
[Alieo] OH! Right... gotcha. Sorry about that.
[ME] REVEAL ME and YOU WILL SUFFER MY WRATH[/color]
[Alieus] *gulp* O-o-o-o-kay buddy! We're cool! Just don't kill us off again!
[Alieo] That's right! I may be 10 but you DID sip that vial ONCE back in 2003 on your 19th birthday. Both Alieus and I died and I haven't seen the artificial light of day in the forums or piloted a Pyro-GX in over 8 years! Then a few days ago you bring us back? What gives?
[Alieus] YEAH! Do you know what it's like to be cryogenized for 8 years? IT'S BORING!!!
[ME] SILENCE!!! I DO KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE LOCKED UP IN A CRYOGENIZED STATE! I'M IN ONE NOW![/color]
[Alieo] Oh? HOW SO?
[ME] WELL... *voice gets less echoey and more normalized* let me explain. In a nutshell, I've been busy! I went back to school in 2004-2005 to get my basics out of the way to get accepted into mortuary school. Then, in 2007-2008, I worked in the funeral business but got quickly burned out from being woken up in the middle of the night to pick bodies up. So, I went back to school in 2010 and am now working to become a mechanical engineer. This is where my "cryogenic stasis" begins. I'm trapped at home for now due to budget restraints and need a little something to pass the time. So, I resurrected you two. Truthfully, I've missed you all so very much. It has been a long time, and I promise to keep you guys more active!
[Alieo] Oh, I've been active alright. Hmm... so you actually made it into the funeral business. Hey! Do you still have that hearse you used to drive? That's the last car you had in 2003 before we were "quarantined" in your brain.
[ME] No... Mortimer did not live past the end of April of 04, but in the Summer of '09, I purchased Mortimer II!
[Alieus] Nice! yeah, I remember Mortimer. But I'll have to meet Mortimer II. What year is he?
[Mortimer II] I'm a white 1990 Cadillac S&S. Nice to meet the personalities finally! So which one of y'all comes out in the middle of rush hour traffic? Huh?
*silence*
[ME] Yeeeeeah... that's all me.
[Mortimer II] GAH!! I knew it! *tsk tsk tsk tsk* I knew that was you blasting Techno Industry from Descent in the rush hour traffic! Cool tune by the way.
[ME] Why thank you!
[Alieus] Hey Mortimer, do you have any ghosts? Are you haunted? You know, being a hearse & all?
[Mortimer II] *looking at Alieus impatiently*
*silence*
*THUD*
[Alieus] WHAT WAS THAT???
[ME] That was the Ghost of Mortimer II. Every now and then, a strange unexplicable THUD is emitted from the casket chamber of the car. Sounds like a hand slapping metal. A ouija board has confirmed that the "Ghost of Mortimer II" is the restless ghost of an airline captain.
*THUD*
[Alieus & Alieo] OOOOOHHH!!!
[ME] There he goes again!
[The Ghost of Mortimer II] You guys need to keep it down! I'm trying to sleep! You all should too!
*Everyone suddenly gets very sleepy*
[Alieo] Why is this happening? Wait! I get it! Mortimer II and his "ghost" are all parts of your personality!
[ME] Nope... not so!
[Mortimer II] Yeah... have you guys looked at the time? IT'S FOUR AM! Look! right there on my CD deck!
[ME] Well THAT explains it!
*All yawning simultaneously*
[Alieo] So, now what?
[ME] NOW, we sleep! But later, mark my words, we will get the Scyphi vial.

I want to continue this, but I've been busy and this is at the bottom of my priority list.
3 day weekend coming up. Might do it on sunday.

[FoxCannon]I can hear someone two posts above us. It seems he's searching for the vial too. Strangely his other personalities are doing nothing to stop him. I sense something sinister going on.
[Ferretfire]Do you think this cure could destroy us?
[The N.I.P]I don't know, but I don't want to find out.
[FoxCannon]Yeah, we should get it and keep it safe and away from anyone, just in case.
[Ferretfire]My migraine is gone.
[The N.I.P]Good, then let's go.
[Xaph]Hey, wait up!
[FoxCannon]What is it now?
[Xaph]We should have a better plan before we go charging in there. We're probably much weaker than they are, judging from what I can infer from the guy's voices. I'd estimate our chances of survival to be about only one in ten if we don't know what we're doing.
[The N.I.P]Much as I hate to admit it, you have a point...
[Ferretfire]*drawn out sigh* But we still need to get to the vial before he does. I don't think we have much time. Besides I want to actually do something.
[The N.I.P]Well then let's make the plan as we find a way through this maze. Come on. And Xaph, I think we'll need some gadgets.
[Xaph]Roger that!
To be intriguingly continued...
