Event Description

8 May (Thursday) Scene 9: In Asperatus.  NeoVictorians track down the robot and capture it.  It is caged in a rune lock and the professor is secured for the trip back to NeoLondon.  The city rejoices and a party ensues at Mrs. Chickenstalker’s Apothecary and Dry Goods Emporium.

[Gabrielle Riel of Radio Riel live DJ’d the event from 6 PM to 9 PM, SL-Time!]

We complete the roleplay today (Saturday) in Asperatus.  Join us at 6 PM, SL-Time as we return home to planet NeoVictoria with our prisoners in-tow. 
Timmon’s Robot lumbers to the edge of the hidden alcove the Professor told him to stay within. It has been a long time since the professor left. The robot knows exactly how many seconds have elapsed. Programming argues with artificial intelligence. AI wins. The robot emerges cautiously.
Professor Heironymous Timmons rolls his head, still strapped into the chair, the drugs from the previous night coursing through his system. He drifts in and out of consciousness, occasionally giggling or muttering something incomprehensible.
Valentine ‘Val’ Adler pulled a bag out from behind an indiscreet slot in the shelves containing the professors belongings, “Ah, this should do the trick! Shall we?” He patted his pocket to be certain the key was there, then gestured for Sam to lead the charge.
Asil Karu: almost falls over as she sees the robot walk into the store, as bold as can be, and make its way to the Professor. “It’s here!” She almost screams the words.
He had memorized the picture of the machine from the newspaper, so when he saw the robot, he brought it forth. “Ladies and gentlemen,” the sidhe said with a grin. “I think we should prepare for battle.”
Timmon’s Robot paused as the key made contact with the keyhole. A shutter ran across its brass housing, causing a high-pitched groan. It spoke. “Stop that, you –, yo–, y–” A sway, a stutter step, then a fall to the planked floor, the sound of crashing wood.
“Why don’t you do the appropriate thing and let him stand a trial? Who knows, we could see if he can reform in a jail cell.” As he did this, he sheathed the blade on his back. It’s bad when the battle-hardened and black armored death-elf is the guy saying give peace a chance. “Killing him is unnecessary. He’s obviously unable to harm you lot.”
Asil paints the runes into the air and the creature floats up and over into the sphere of light. The gears in the box begin to whistle as the runes lock the creature into a state of perfect stasis; every electric impulse is quieted until it is no more than a statue.
Valentine ‘Val’ Adler looked to the Professor for a long time in silence, stroking his chin as he considered the various things that could be done to the man. He at long last spoke up. “I believe.. we should keep him alive. We could use him.. even as crazed as he seems to be. He will be a free man by no means, but we will have to detain him someplace.. proper.” He nodded thoughtfully.
Myomy helps Val unbuckle the metal bracelets holding the professors wrists and ankles. She takes an extra sheet from the table nearby and drapes it over the sleeping scientist. “I will help you lift him, Val. On three?”
Valentine ‘Val’ Adler smiles, and carts off the professor to stow away in a temporary, padded holding cage until they are able to put him to trial.
She smiles toward the crowd and take a small bag of gold from her pocket. Walking toward the musician, she drops the bag on to their console. “A gift from Mrs. Chickenstalkers …drinks and food are on the house tonight!”
And the dancing begins!!

Event Description

8 May (Thursday) Scene 8:  In Asperatus.  The Professor leaves his lair in search of materials to repair the robot.  The lycans are able to track him by his scent and he’s secured to a chair in Mrs. Chickenstalkers, where the Auditor and the Editor appeal to the madman’s vanity.  He’s persuaded to give them a key that will let them catch the robot!

We continue the roleplay today (Thursday) in Asperatus.  Join us at 5 PM, SL-Time and help us find the robot. 
Plus, we’re having a super-fantastic party from 6 PM to 9 PM, SL with Gabrielle Riel of Radio Riel helming the Asperatus land stream.  You’ll only be able to hear the tunes if you come into the Asperatus SIM, so do join us!
Asil Karu drops the shirt down on the counter before the two lycans; terrifying in their wereforms. “A gift from NeoLondon; from the professor’s closet in Lord Coat’s castle. I can smell the stink of him; I’ve no doubt that you both will be able to track him, now you can take his scent.”
Lucian Rowe makes his way across the pipes and bridges. The scent comes to him and he picks up the pace following ginger. She was not as big as he, but she seemed to be very skilled at the hunt; something to be respected.
Professor Heironymous Timmons leaps back from the brown wolf and attempts to run the other way, but runs smack into the white one. He twists his arm slightly, and the hook retracts to be replaced by… a light bulb? “Hah! Think you can intimidate me with your bulk, giant beastly things? Take this!” The self-assured grin on his face was quickly replaced with a gasp of abject horror as he realized he’d swapped out the gun with the light bulb some time ago.
Anya “Ginger” Greer would throw her arms around his body and jerk him against her chest. A long snort of hot air pouring from her nostrils to his ears, as the lycan grunts a few times – the sound not unlike laughter. Professor Heironymous Timmons shivers in the brown wolf’s grasp as claws tapped on glass. When the white wolf grabs his face, a few muffled cries are all that escape his mouth before he passes out.
Myomy pours tea, adds a little milk, and takes a grateful sip. Sighing softly, she looks for a chair and at last notices that Valentine is sitting nearby. “Oh dear me, Auditor, what an evening we had last evening, did we not?”
Valentine ‘Val’ Adler sees the wolves come in with a man-sized delivery, and springs up from his seat quickly to follow them behind. “Is this he …Is this Timmons?”
Lucian Rowe looks over to Asil as he steps back, the man now secure and not a threat to many. He walks over to a canvas bag, one containing his clothing and find a corner to become the man, or at least the shell of the man he once was.
Asil Karu sees some of the Asperatusians milling with the NeoLondoner; as long as they didn’t interfere with the integration, she wouldn’t interfere with them. Let what they see be a lesson in how seriously the Sidhe empire takes any who would threaten it.
Lady Juliana took in their scent of rage; their hearts beating quicker in the moment. Her amber eyes fell on Ginger and she instantly would take her hand. She wasn’t sure why, but she kept the woman close.
Professor Heironymous Timmons bobs his head from side to side, a wide grin on his face. “And you’re not getting into my head even if you knock my hat off!” He looks to the fennec with a challenging gaze. “And after all the cathedrals of the empire fall, mongrel, you’ll find out how my creation’s stole manufacturing algorithm functions!”
Professor Heironymous Timmons: “And they’ll forget me as soon as things go back to normal!” The lightbulb on his arm retracts and is replaced with some kind of metal object resembling a key. “You see this! It’s the one thing that can counter my creation’s algorithms! This will be the proof to everyone that they were wrong to underestimate me! … Just try and figure it out! Just try! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
Have you seen this robot? Reward! Report to Mrs. Chickenstalker’s on Asperatus

Event Description

7 May (Wednesday) Scene 7:  In Asperatus.  Hungry,  the Timmon’s Robot leaves the Professor’s secret location on Asperatus in search of soul cages to raid.  It tries to hide from the NeoVictorians, but is discovered.  Two of the NeoVictorians confronts it, it attacks and they are killed.  The commotion brings a larger group together; the robot is attacked and badly damaged, but is able to escape.

The NeoVictorians return to Mrs. Chickenstalkers, with the bodies of their comrades, and determine to search out Professor Timmons the next day.
We continue the roleplay today (Thursday) in Asperatus.  Join us at 6 PM, SL-Time and help us find the nefarious Professor Timmons!
Timmons’s Robot emerges from its sleep state unexpectedly in Timmons’s lair in Asperatus. The professor, however, was nowhere to be found. “Professor?” it calls out in its mechanical voice. After searching the confines of the hideout, the robot pulls the lever sliding the hidden door open.
“I’m famished! I need more soul cages.” it says out loud as it walks out onto the pathways of Asperatus.
“I just got word via the Watcher in our Apothecary back in NeoLondon that the lights are still out! And so far, no one has come to the shop with any news about the robot’s location. I’m afraid we will have to do another night of searching!”
“Asil, some one asked me yesterday if we had put out any bait for the robot. Pardon my ignorance, but what is bait for a robot?” Asil Karu considers, “We have the lamps, standard issue … and they are powered by souls.”
Red was not sure how useful a projectile would be against a metal monster. But she had cast the die. “I said Halt, Robot!”
Timmons’ Robot looks at the shouting woman’s pistol and processes her commands. “How rude of you, accosting strangers while waving a firearm about! I shall have to teach you a lesson! Prepare yourself!”
Before she can regain her footing, the robot is upon her. Her body crumples to the floor, and then both her head and torso tumble from the side of the platform.
Anya “Ginger” Greer: “For goddess’ sake, it’s made of metal! Bullets ricochet—” She screamed as she watched the unfamiliar woman go down, too paralyzed to make a go for her as she tumbles off the platform and disappears in the clouds. “Oh that it!” She leaps towards the robot, aiming for it’s neck joint with her lycan claws, snarling.
When internal heat levels begin rising rapidly, a line of holes on its sides open and vent steam with a deafening hiss. “Emergency cooling procedure activated” escapes from the robot’s vocalization mechanism, though likely drowned out by the steam’s deafening racket.
Anya “Ginger” Greer snarls as bones rearrange and fur emerges from flesh; she leaps upwards with a howl, and balls her large hands together to bare down on the top of the bots head with tremendous force, likely causing the walkway to tremble in her wake.
Kieko is caught unawares with the kick from the robot….using both hands to hold on to the torch…she steps back….realizing that it’s open air….she lets go of the the torch….”OH THUNDERBOLTS!!!!” trying frantically to grab onto something with her hands…..
Anya “Ginger” Greer snorts and glares down at the bot, tail swaying back and fourth. In the back of her mind, she thinks, ‘I’m a good girl.’
Valentine ‘Val’ Adler looks down at the fallen mech, “Whatever we decide to do …we need to try to extract as much information from it as we can …without risking injury …at all costs.”
Dame Rowena Desade lunges at the robot at it starts to move, a curse bursting from her lips as the tip of her sword misses the robot’s chassis. As the jets unfold, she takes a step back in an attempt to keep rocket exhaust from catching her uniform on fire. She followed the path of the robot as her brow furrowed in anger.
Kit let out a squeal as the robot bounced back up, eyes wide until the creature seemed to disappear over the roofs. “Really? Coward!”
“The cursed thing escaped, but not after shedding blood. Two people died tonight, because I failed.”
She looks at the tired faces, “Perhaps we are searching for the wrong entity; its Professor Timmons that holds the key. Let’s concentrate our effort on him tomorrow.”

Event Description

6 May (Tuesday) Scene 6:  In Aspertus.  The NeoVictorians familiarize themselves with the City of Asperatus.  They seek out the local broadcaster to create public service announcers advising there is a reward for anyone who can bring them the robot.  They wander the streets, asking people if they’ve seen the robot and handing out copies of wanted posters and the latest edition of the NeoLondon Times.  They do not find the professor or the robot.  Their search will continue.

We pick up the roleplay in Asperatus at 6 PM on Wednesday.  All welcome.  Visit Mrs. Chickenstalkers (or the NeoVictoria shop off the main rezz point) to pick up information about the roleplay and some fun props).

Have you seen this robot? Reward! Report to Mrs. Chickenstalker’s on Asperatus
Asil Karu: nods, hearing their news and plops another bunch of papers on to the counter. “Perhaps its time to take it to the streets? See if the people in the town have seen the robot or the professor? We got a new batch of papers from home, courtesy of the portal imps.”
Myomy smiles at the Admiral and hands her a sheaf of the papers. Then she heads out.
She spies Kit looking ready to go and approaches her. “Ready to find a robot?”
She glanced over when she heard Lucinda and grinned. “Of course, want to hunt together?” She beamed. Her dagger and derringer were strapped at her belt and leg. She almost felt like bouncing. “That robot and mad man will get whats coming to them.”
“To make matters worse, the guard confiscated the swords. I foolishly let them go thinking I’d get them back.” he walked over to Hmmph.
Hmmmph: “Tsk Tsk…didn’t put a fight for your swords…or at least a good tale? I told the guards I used my sword to cut up sushi”
“It seems like a lonely part of town. Perhaps the customers have been enticed elsewhere. Which could make for some cozy hideaways for our targets.” Lucinda Jane Strathmore says, moving on to the next stop.
Alyia Alyia takes the newspaper carefully, looking over the picture. She sets it on the counter with a frown, “Unfortunately I have not,” she replies, “Is it a danger?”
Myomy finds Ginger on her path to the next store. “Ah, you made it! The Admiral and I were just about to head to those other pilings over there to see if a robot could be hiding there. Want to join us?”
Myomy approaches the demoness; “Hello Destany! Say, have you seen that evil robot I was telling you about?
The demon watches them hunt.
“Miss Asil..” He nodded a greeting. “Not on my end. I took to the sky and looked in as many glass ceilings as I could find, and nothing appeared at first glance to turn up. It is still early.. I have faith we will locate the traitor.”

Event Description

5 May (Monday) Scene 5:  In NeoLondon [NeoVictoria SIM] & Asperatus.  The rift-ship of Admiral Rowena Desade takes the NeoVictorians to Asperatus.  They settle in at Mrs. Chickenstalker’s Apothecary and Dry Goods Emporium, then head out into the town, in pairs, to spread the word about the robot, the professor and the reward.

We pick up the roleplay in Asperatus at 6 PM on Tuesday.  All welcome.  Visit Mrs. Chickenstalkers (or the NeoVictoria shop off the main rezz point) to pick up information about the roleplay and some fun props).

Lucinda Jane Strathmore rifles through chests, hurriedly looking for things to take on the journey. Not time to grab all the trunks, they’d be traveling light. She slips several tools into her clothes. Grappling hook and launcher? Check. Inflatable pillow? Check. Stealth camera? Check. If she hadn’t sewn in holsters and pockets for all the things she was taking, she’d be jingling like a wind chime shop in a storm!
“Are you coming to Asperatus?” Kit stares up at the ship, eyes widening a little before she heard Asil. “Y-yeah. I mean yes I plan to assist” She added in a more sure tone.
Hmmmph looks up at the Airship, gives a shudder…remembering the last time she was on an airship….lost her stupid sword…makes a resigned sound
Myomy nods emphatically to Lucinda. “If our very lives and the fate of the empire wasn’t at stake, I would be a very happy editor at the moment!” She smiled and then tried to curb her enthusiasm.
Asil Karu walks into the hull of the ship with the rest of the crew, excited to be going. She hasn’t met the woman at the helm, but a ship like this … they must be extraordinary. She would catch Kit’s gaze and smile; an adventure!
Dame Rowena Desade finishes inputting the coordinates, and nods as the jump is plotted. She puts her hands on the controls and reaches for the controls. “Everyone brace yourself. I have faith in my ship but the ride might be a little bumpy.”
Asil Karu feels the great engine begin to surge and her third-eye knows the sudden terrible otherness that is the rift when the void opens to swallow them up. NeoLondon disappears like a dark twinkly sense of home and there is only the cold and the darkness.
Dame Rowena Desade set the airship down on the landing pad on top of the Asperatus. The trip had been rough, the ship being buffeted by the massive air currents common in jump travel. “Well that was not quite as bad as I thought it would be.” She looks down and examines the control console. “It looks like the ship came through intact as well.”
The small wings flapped slightly as she lowered herself to the ground and let the wings vanish once more. “So what now?” She asked, a little scattered after the flight.
Hello sir, I am Asil, the manager of Mrs. Chickenstalker’s in NeoLondon. I had a dispatch from Mrs. C herself assuming me that your staff was expecting us?”
Rondolfo del Stiletto XV responds to the questions in a similarly jaded fashion. “Crazy ranting guy and a robot? The one with the navy coat or the one with the cyan one? Either way they both just bought some salmon ravioli and left.”
Valentine ‘Val’ Adler looks around to the group, who seem to have varying levels of attention at this juncture. “I say we start the search immediately. Mayhaps we should break off into pairs or small groups?”

Event Description:

In NeoLondon [NeoVictoria SIM].  Professor Timmons has escaped the planet with his robot.  The Auditor and citizens of NeoLondon track his movements and discover his intended destination.  To Asperatus!  The hunt is on!

The roleplay continues tomorrow … join us at 6:00 PM, SecondLife-time when  we bring the story to Asperatus (or just tune in to this page for the update)!

At the NeoLondon Times Office:

Myomy sets the candle lantern down beside her press, and attaches the portable power rigging to the intake coils. She crosses her fingers and throws the tiny switch. A spark. A chittering sound. Then the chase bed starts to move. Slowly it swivels forward, then more quickly moves back into place. Myomy inks the platen, sighing with relief.

 In front of Lord Coat’s Castle:

Valentine ‘Val’ Adler seemed pretty perturbed with the start of the new day, having been wearing the same suit he had before – a feat uncommon of the particularly well cleaned and put-together man. He slept in the castle that night, to attend to his bleeding prisoner, and to be certain he could not escape.

Lucinda Jane Strathmore  grabs the documents she’d gathered as well as the computational device from the desk, heading down to show them to the Auditor before reporting back to Myomy at the Times. “Here’s what I’ve gathered so far. From the looks of the maps stored on this thing, it looks like he had multiple escape routes planned. He certainly was prepared.”

Valentine ‘Val’ Adler strolls right up to Myomy, “Madame.. listen very carefully. A man by the name of Professor Timmons has created a bot, with the aid of Lord Coat – the castle occupant – that is capable of doing an endless amount of damage to not just NeoLondon, .. We must get the word out to the people of this town, as quickly as possible! ”

Rowena Desade: Nods her head in greeting to the well-armed man before taking his hand in a firm grip. “I am pleased to meet you Mr. Hellwalker. I am Dame Rowena Desade, Knight of the Realm and Admiral of the Fleet. I just recently arrived at this backwater and could not help but notice the commotion.”

Rowena Desade: watches him go before turning and approaching the tall and slender man. “I do have a ship. It is my personal yacht, though armed it is certainly not very big. Do you think we will have need of it Sir?”

Valentine ‘Val’ Adler tucks the business card in his pocket and looks to the pilot. “Oh yes, we’ll need that vessel.” He pulls a notebook from his coat and jots down something on a piece of paper, tearing it out quickly and folding it. He holds it out to the side away from himself, and a small glowing porthole opens just enough for the note to disappear into. “I’m calling in a personal favor, if we need it.” He noted. “Yes, Myomy, certainly. We need all we can gather. We’re going to…” He checks the maps. “Asperatus … of the Faire lands.”

Event Description:

In NeoLondon [NeoVictoria SIM].  Val Adler, Auditor of the Sidhe Empire and Watcher of the Cathedral, gathers the citizens together to search for the robot.  They confront Lord Coat and his doxy, the mysterious Lady Zee.  During the confrontation, Professor Timmons escapes the planet with his robot in tow.

The roleplay continues tomorrow … join us at 6:00 PM, SecondLife-time when  we bring the story to Asperatus (or just tune in to this page for the update)!

“Alright.. you.” He focused on Sam, speaking a bit loudly and clearly in case his hearing was dulled. still. “Where did you hear this conversation?”

Professor Heironymous Timmons scrambles to find the tools needed to quickly repair the robot, knocking several unrelated tools on the ground. “Come on, where’s that blasted… Here it is!” He switches out a damaged piece of plating with frightening speed, then sealing the seam with wax for waterproofing. He had to get out of here in a hurry. Infamy is only worth it if you live to read the headlines!

Distant clamoring from the lab? Suspicious, the serpent rose and slithered his way towards the lab, pushing the door open. “Timmonssss…? What issss all thissss.. noisssse? Issss there more progressss?”
“Yes, yes!” he says, sounding even more unhinged than usual. “The plan unfolds quite well, but now we must make haste! The forgetful ones have remembered us now, and they’re surely coming! Just look what they did to my creation!!!!” Lord Coat snarls “I can hold them off… Finish it, Timmonssss… Finish it and get out while you can. If you go through the dungeon, stick to the wallssss and the ssentinalssss ssshould leave you alone. … “DO NOT DISSSSAPPOINT ME….”
Valentine ‘Val’ Adler glances up to nod at Lucinda, when he sees a figure hugging the shadows of the edge of the woods. You.. Have you come to fight? Did a fox send you?” His eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Perhaps he was overlooking the possibility of there being more enemies than expected. Seito replies: “No, no. I was in the tunnels, gathering ingredients.” He gestures with the hand holding the roots, his skin shiny with moisture, looking much like a tight fitting glove. He quickly stuffs the roots into a pouch on his belt, “Mine….” He then shakes his head again. “No, no one has sent me. I am on my own business, yes.”
Timmon’s Robot begins its calculations…instantly having a destination ready for the Professor. “This unit is sufficiently repaired. Ready to depart” Lifting off of the table, Joints creaking as it moves…jumping off the table, making a loud thud. It walks to the exit …”Must go now”
“Ah guestssss, sssso lovely to have you. Had I have known there would be ssso many of you, I would have prepared a ssspread. Or, at leassst tea.” His ton was mocking as he stared at the men. “How can I ssssserve you… gentlemen?”
Professor Heironymous Timmons follows the robot out of the lab, leaving everything but a bag full of tools behind. So fortunate that Lord Coat had volunteered to hold off the townsfolk, this plan was working even better than expected!
The Auditor stepped forward first to greet the Lord of the house. “Lord Coat.. also known as.. the demi-god Xiuhcoatl.. I am here to accuse you of endangering the lives of the entirety of this town.. of this planet, and of conspiring with other parties to overthrow the Empire. What have you to say for yourself?”
“Hmm.. What makessss you think I have anything to do with that? Perhapssss I’ve merely had a houssse guessst to while away the lonessssome hoursss..” Even he wasn’t convinced of that lie, as he tilted his back to let out a bellowing laugh. “You have no proof of these accusations, Auditor!”

“He has been attempting to overthrow the Empire, Madame. This is no longer a matter of jurisdiction. I will take him into custody, whether you cooperate or not.” Val spoke firmly, blue eyes darkening to a charcoal grey.

Lucinda Jane Strathmore takes advantage of the commotion downstairs to sneak into the lab and do some digging.
