Fire Drill!

[itsjustthebots.livejournal.com]

[Very suddenly at about 3:00 PM on Friday, an alarm starts blaring throughout the whole Satellite. Red warning lights at the doors begin flashing along with the very loud alarms.]

[Gypsy shows up on Cambot’s screen, wearing a fireman’s hat. She looks Serious Business...as Serious Business as a robot can look, anyway.]

Okay, everybody! This is a fire drill! Line up right here on the cockpit right away! Then we have to proceed in an orderly fashion! Let’s go, go, go!

[OOC: Your characters can show up here and tag in whatever order they wish as they follow Gypsy in an orderly fashion around...the cockpit. This may peter out quickly as characters fast discover that they aren’t actually going anywhere. If you want, you can even tag in a continuous chain behind Gypsy with just one tag per character, passing on your conversation down the line.]

[Namine rushes to the cockpit because even though she doesn't know what a fire drill is, Gypsy sounds serious. After taking a moment to catch her breath she leans against the wall, looking for the others.}

Did I make it on time? Where's everyone else?

[Kaldur isn't sure how or why they are having a fire drill in space since he is fairly certain fire up here would be very bad. Still, he is no stranger to drills and he enters the cockpit only to find Namine is one of the first here]

I would say so since it has only just started. [he looks over his shoulder]

It is just a drill so I am certain they will be along shortly.

[Cambot follows Xion as she hurries to the cockpit. She arrives in time to hear Namine's questions.]

Oh. We're the first to get here?

[itsjustthebots.livejournal.com]

Tom: Well technically, Gypsy is first.

Crow: But that means you're second and third! You get silver and bronze for safety!

[Gives Xion a tiny wave when he arrives.]

So, what's going on now? Aside from a bunch of noise.

[It took Saria a while to find the way down here, but eventually she just followed the crowds and made it that way. She looks startled and her hands are clamped tightly over her ears in an attempt to drown out the alarms.]

[Xion waves back]

[Galadriel arrives with her hands covering her ears.]

I can understand the need for safety, but is there really need for so much noise?

[liefeldisgod.livejournal.com]

[Speaking of noise, guess who somehow missed the part where this was a drill?]

FIRE! FIIIIIRE OH GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! WHAT DO WE DO? I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE MAN! I NEVER EVEN GOT TO MEET ROB LIEFELD! AND I STILL HAVE SO MANY COMICS TO READ!

[Wait, what was Liz doing sleeping this late?

Oh well, here she comes now, looking rather bedheaded and disgruntled.]

Alright, alright, let's just get this over with.

[best_day_ever]

[The overly observant kid notices!]

Uhh, did you just wake up?

[wavesinherheart.livejournal.com]

[After a moment or so, Aqua comes on over.]

It doesn't seem very well thought out.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

I DIDN'T DO IT!

[itsjustthebots.livejournal.com]

[Gypsy stares at Pinkie when she comes in.]

Uh. No, it's just a drill. Come on, get in line!

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

[JUST CAME HERE TO COMPLAIN]

Some fire drill. This wreck even got any evac pods? Come to think of it I ain't even seen any fire extinguishers.

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Well, we do have those little subpods. But at the rate this is going, [Dubious look ahead of the line at Gypsy.] I don't think that's gonna be part of the drill.

[Undertaker's already bored. He's got nothing to add, although he's seriously considering just stopping short. But he won't. ...for now.]

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Honestly, is this really necessary?

[itsjustthebots.livejournal.com]

[Gypsy is still leading the line...around the cockpit. Where is there to go on a space station, especially if you lack evacuation measures?]

Oh, yes! Yes it is. Never know when a fire will break out, and you have to be prepared!

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Reviewing safety procedures so that one is prepared is a valuable use of resources and time here.

[Sam happily gets in line.]

[Just kind of walks in quietly. Not really much of a talker because hey, fire drills are useful and this has been norm in her life for ages. she folds her arms and waits patiently for it to be over...or if someone decides to talk to her.]

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Maes walks in and looks around. Not exactly what he was expecting. Maes adjusts his glasses and notices a familiar face nearby]

Not exactly the protocol I am familiar with...how exactly does a fire drill work in the middle of space?

[best_day_ever]

[Phineas has been through plenty of fire drills so he shows up and gets in line before asking his question.]

So do we need to put on spacesuits and go outside the satellite?

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

[Sora hasn't been in a fire drill in a long time, but remembers enough about them. He's a little confused about it, though.]

It doesn't look like anyone is...and then where would we go after that?

[yerthemannowdog.livejournal.com]

[boooo fire drill. This is boring. But the cockpit itself it pretty interesting. He'll just be over here poking around at some random mechanical thing.]

[sorry-to-jet.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
