"I think I see where you're going with this, Logan, and I'm in total agreement. You know what really gets commies and their egalitarian eating utensils? Explosions. Big, devastating explosions that blow them and their salad forks and shrimp forks and paring knives all into little, itty, bitty bits. Just Boom! and no more commies, no more 12 piece dining set, just you and your spoon and all the happiness and contentment you can have with it. Big, big explosions...that's the answer!"

BUH-GAWK!

Tim tucks up his arms and does a strange little dance.

"*ahem* Speaking of that subject, since that stall Boris pointed out is so near at hand, I think I'll pop over for a little look-see while we're waiting on Horton."

GM:

Spoiler:
Tim heads over to the weapons stall and looks for explosives. After all, with a name and skills like mine, I'm going to have to blow up something or someone eventually...maybe myself in the process.


"Halt, we will ALL be at this location when the Orange citizen returns!"

"I'm sure Horton will be here in 21 seconds or less..."


Male Clone Troubleshooter/ Red Lvl

*twitch*

"Yes,sir, of course sir. Considering how close it is, I'm sure I could get there and back in no more than 18 seconds, sir. I might even come back with things that will allow us to blow commies into little, itty, bitty bits..."


"Commies have 12-piece dining sets?" Logan eyes Tim warily. "That's hard to believe. It's so.. so capitalistic! Imagine all the money that could be made if everyone had to buy 12 pieces instead of just a fork and spoon."


"I wonder, you might be able to use your spoon to make your grenade fly farther..."


Team Leader Boris-R-LOF-2 wrote:
"I wonder, you might be able to use your spoon to make your grenade fly farther..."

Boris then demonstrates with his imaginary spoon and an imaginary grenade, and then points at how much farther it went in his mind...

"See sound principle, you should try it with a grenade"

Shoot, I didn't think of how obvious the box would be. I suppose it's too late to retroactively change my mind about the size of the box?

Also, I assume that we had to pay some credits for the stuff; we didn't just go around grabbing stuff, did we?

"Well, I don't know...I was just trying to make a point. I don't know much about commies except that they're traitors and enemies of The Computer. My main point wasn't so much the utensils as it was the blowing up part. I mean, if you don't buy anything and you're just given things, you can have as much as you want, right? Or as much as they want?"

*twitch*

"This isn't a very fun conversation anymore." Tim pulls out his pack of smokes and sticks one in his mouth, then offers the pack to Logan.

"Cigarette?"


"Thanks Tim, I owe you one!"

"Those cancer-lites?"

get's all bugged-eyed

"Urk!!!"

Falls off the box and twitches

Spoiler:
Then I lay there playing dead


<Somewhere out of sight Horton browses through illegally marketed implements of mass torture.>

GM EYES:

Spoiler:
In addition to that truth serum, are there any hallucinogen grenades?

"No thanks, I just passed a hygiene inspection." Logan sighs, "Look, man, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring you down. Thing is... You like my spoon. So you're all right. And that blowing up part... that's good stuff."


OOC:Logan-R-RUN, you are fined 1 credit for a violation of the moral decency act

trivia: what movie is that from? and who said it?

ANSWER:

Spoiler:
Demolition Man - Cocteau said it


Spoiler:
What security clearance is that spoon, must be at least Orange it does have 2 "O"s in it...Sp-O-on??? And it was at an underground market...or is it like IR clearance? Is it a special spoon?? like a coke spoon? or a grapefruit spoon? Solid silver or titanium?

"He doesn't know how to use the three seashells!" That would be the recorded voice of the leader of San-Angeles, from Demolition Man.


Sorry it was my wife's B-Day tonight. I got her Guitar Hero, so we got a little sucked in.


Take it easy, man. That's important stuff. Not to mention that this is a pretty busy PBP and it must have increased you DM time significantly... =)


It was my bosses BDay t'day too...heh


Happy Birthday to the Boss of the Boss. Spare us from fickle fate. Amen.

"Um, you're welcome? Boris?" Tim lights his smoke and then leans down, poking Boris with a finger.


"BOO"! As Boris spring ups! "Gotcha!"


Spoiler:
What did Tim light his smoke with? was it a lighter-I? like I used to have? or IR-Matches


Horton

Spoiler:
sorry no gernades of that nature.

Tim lets out a squawk, then laughs."Good one Boris! You're pretty good at playing dead. I almost dropped my smoke."

Looks around...

"I wonder when that Green citizen will be returning?"

Checks the time on his PDC.


*also accesses PDC to check the time*

"It's actually the orange citizen, the green citizen is in a higher clearance area running his own errands."


Barneby-O-TPK 4 returns a moment later. He looks at the clock on his PDC. "S**$, we're going to be late."

He leads you to the elevator and you head back up stairs. You then meet up with Homer-G-DUF. Homer looks at his PDC.

"You just made it. Let's get moving. I hope you weren't bored while I was gone."


Bob

Spoiler:
It all cost money. And I don't mind if you change the size of your box (that sounded dirty).

BEYOND YOUR CLEARANCE LEVEL

Team leader Boris-R-LOF, why has your team not yet arrived in RUM sector? You 2:45 minutes behind schedule.


"Computer, my team is still with Citizen Homer-G-DUF. Should I dispatch part of my team to deliver the bot, and have the other half of the team continue to escort Homer-G-DUF." ""All Hail the Glory of the wise and omnipotent computer"

Spoiler:
Bootlicking! uh-oh


<Horton starts shooting again, getting a zooming close up of Boris that zooms in to a minute focus on the cherry of his cigarette.>

"After our ward finished his important meeting, we seem to be running behind, what will our fearless leader do?"

GM EYES ONLY:

Spoiler:
What about the truth serum?


BEYOND YOUR CLEARANCE LEVEL

Boris Bootlicking: 1d20 8=12

Keep your team together team leader Boris. Report to RUM sector as soon as possible. The tardiness of your team has been noted. Have a nice day.


Horton

Spoiler:
that you got

Is that another bootlicking check?

Agreed. Good work on the game so far. Also,

The box is now officially the size of a shoebox. Now, let us speak of this no more.

No sir, just that I'm elated to actually get to play in a game of Paranoia. It's been YEARS!!!!


I'd go bootlicking too if the bot won't crush me when I bend over.

Yeah, you poor guy. We'll get in over our heads and while the rest of us are running for the metaphorical hills, you'll be dragging that bot behind you.

"That bot looks heavy and awkward. Tsk, tsk. Still, I have no doubt your selfless loyalty will be rewarded. As loyalty officer I'll recommend you for an appropriate commendation for your extra labor."

Takes a drag off his cigarette and blows a smoke ring.


"All for the glory of the Computer. And death to all commies."


"Stop lugging it on your shoulders and use the wheels..."


"Yes sir, fearless leader, sir!"

<Complies with Boris' directive>


I would also like to say that I've been enjoying this a lot. This is not only my first game of Paranoia, but also my first PBP.


"Hey, Horton! Film me with my new spoon!" Logan beams as he holds his spoon out for the camera to catch.


<Horton gets some angles on Logan's spoon.>

"That's some excellent spoonage. Yes, a spoon says it all."


You hurry your asses back upstairs and meet up with Horton-R-DUF. You then hurry back to the air transport deck. However, you are required to take a new air bot to get to RUM, as the last one had to be taken away for inspection and cleaning. The "new" air-bot isn't so new, and it is also very small. You all find yourselves crammed into the small passenger area, with shoulders squished up against one another. Even Homer and Barneby are forced to squeeze in with you.

Soon the air bot is off and zooming to RUM sector.

Boris

Spoiler:

By the time you get there you only have about an hour left on the mission clock

The journey passes quickly and surprisingly without incident. Once you arrive in RUM sector, you are led to another transbot and taken deep into the sector. Homer leads you into a service elevator. It is quite spacious and easily accommodates the entire team and the box with the bot. The elevator heads down, deep down. As it descends, the lights suddenly go out . You here Homer mutter,

"It always goes dark when the elevators in this sector go into the sub levels. Don't worry, we'll be down soon."

Go nuts!


For the GM's eyes only

Spoiler:
Do the PDCs have infrared capability? If yes, I activate it and start recording the events.


EDIT: man I hate when I post a message AFTER you post a new message and I don't see it!!!

"How much longer will you be needing our services Homer-G-DUF?"

Accesses PDC

punches a few keys

Spoiler:
Start a 5-minute self-destruct countdown timer on my PDC...in case I don't make it out of the dark alive...

punch in a few more lines of text

Spoiler:
are there any secret society symbols I could use to see if Homer is a commie?

"I hear commies are afraid of the dark."

Spoiler:
worked last time, so I'll take a few pictures

then, when no ones looking

Spoiler:
put my PDC away

Spoiler:
what's the arrangement of the compartment?

GM:

Spoiler:
Well, let's see if my X-Ray Vision would help me see what everyone else is trying to do. Well, that, or I could just end up giving everyone in the cab cancer, but, hey, we probably won't live long enough for it to matter.

"I hear mutants glow in the dark. I can't see anything, so I guess we're all okay here. Haha!"

GM:

Spoiler:
How big is the Teela-O pocket mirror in relation to a laser barrel?

"Hey, who's touching me over there? This is hardly the time for a hygiene inspection, Bob. Haha!"

GM:

Spoiler:
After speaking, I'll quietly move to a corner/wall of the elevator, so if anyone decides to take a shot at me, I won't be in the position I was in when the lights went out. I'll also crouch down on the balls of my feet and keep my laser handy.
