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?

[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?

[Gives Xion a tiny wave when he arrives.]

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

[Galadriel arrives with her hands covering her ears.]

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

[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.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

I DIDN'T DO IT!

[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.

[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?

[sylvan-child.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[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.

[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!

[game-over-pal.livejournal.com]

Tch, those things hardly look reliable.

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Less reliable than if the Satellite actually DID have an emergency?

[keeperonenya.livejournal.com]

[Galadriel is not amused by 90's Kid's idiotic ramblings.]

Would you be quiet for a moment!? It's just a drill to prepare us in case there was a fire!

[liefeldisgod.livejournal.com]

[And she manages to shut him up mid flail and he just...pauses where he stands.]

...Oh.

[keeperonenya.livejournal.com]

Do try and keep a cool head from now on.

[liefeldisgod.livejournal.com]

Psh, I always keep a cool head.

[Clearly he missed something.]

[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!

[itsjustthebots.livejournal.com]

[Gypsy stares at Pinkie when she comes in.]

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

[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!

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

And how, exactly, is this meant to help us? I was in the middle of a very important experiment.

[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.]

[itsjustthebots.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, you can get back to your things soon. But it's important to make code! And it helps in case there's a real fire.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

What if the fire's in the cockpit?
