Issue #12: Carnival of Doom!

[boostedfailure]

Action 1: 1246 Williams

[After the call from that Crowe kid, Booster went off to do as he said he would. To find that Magnus and Pony and tell them that Crowe and Zidane are OK, just trapped in some goofy parallel universe or something. Either way he walked up to the house and knocked on the door.]

Phone 1: Drone filters only

So uh yeah, apparently the missing people are stuck in some other world or something. Anyone have any plans on this? Maybe some sort of mad science, I don't know? I have a plan, but its all kind of over my head.

Action 2: Carnival

[Booster is now enacting his brilliant plan. At home he took a piece of wood and wrote "DANGER! STUPID PORTAL TO SOME PLACE WITH NO FOOD! DO NOT ENTER!" on it and nailed it to another one to make a sign. He's just walked up to the fun house and planted it in the ground. With a nod he lets out a breath face palms.]

Well... That's all I got.

Action 2: Carnival

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

That isn't the worst idea I've ever seen.

[boostedfailure]

Its still not a GOOD one, but maybe now people will at least not go in there. Or something. I don't know.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

If it saves even one person from whatever is over there you've done a good job.

Action 1

[magicalrealist]

(You were right about one thing: there is certainly a pony in this house. And she is going right ahead and answering the door.)

Hello?

[boostedfailure]

Hey, um, are you the family of that Crowe guy, or someone named Zidane?

[magicalrealist]

Yes, they both live here. They've been missing for days and I haven't heard anything from them...

[treefetish]

[yep just a teenage girl carrying a backpack and standing right next to you]

... I don't think that's going to work very well.

[boostedfailure]

You don't think so? I mean no food is not good.

[treefetish]

If people are really, really determined to get in, a little sign isn't going to stop them.

[and thus, she moves past him and starts climbing up into the funhouse]

Action 2

[beetlemania]

[Ted's carrying a few scientific-looking instruments he's cobbled together in the garage--he wants to try to get a read of the funhouse. Of course, he's stopped to mock marvel at Booster's sign.]

Really, Booster?

[boostedfailure]

None of the mad scientists really gave me a better idea. Do YOU have a better idea?!

[beetlemania]

[He jiggles the armful of equipment he's carrying.]

Well, for starters, I want to see if I can get any weird energy readings or anything off of this place. I want to check for traces of Zeta Beams.

[He frowns down at the equipment.]

Not that I'm sure these things will actually work, given what I have to work with, but it's worth a shot.

[kingofhero]

That is a really excellent idea.

Great sign.

[Have a thumbs-up! Someone's been doing his best to keep people out of the fun house as well, and out of the carnival in general. And yes, he's still wearing his police officer uniform.]

[boostedfailure]

Well, at least I have police support.

[He nods a bit and sighs]

Now we just need to find someone who knows how to get the people on the other side out.

[kingofhero]

[He'll venture a guess.]

Can I ask, did you talk to them?

2

[nodifferentfate]

Do you really expect that to work?

[She's not trying to be condescending or anything, it's just an honest question.]

[boostedfailure]

Not really, but its true, and maybe someone will listen while Skeets and I scan the place.

[on_bailes_strand]

What are you doing?

[boostedfailure]

Putting a sign up to warn people not to go in there.

Action 2

[a_crazygirl]

[Just kinda... staring.]

Is it working?

[boostedfailure]

Eh...

[He shrugs a bit]

I haven't been paying a WHOLE lot of attention but if I were to wager a guess I'd say no.

2

[nozomisitter]

Well... it's a sign at least.

[boostedfailure]

Yeah, something like that.

2

[thelonewanderer]

Well it might work....

[Looking at the sign.]

[boostedfailure]

Probably not... But at least now there's some warning.
