Sam's Office: Beware of Geeks Bringing Gifts

"Mind yourself as we go," she said as she started to make her way.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 8:17 pm

"Right, of course." she says, perhaps a bit too aware of the times she had gotten lost in Will's head. In her defense, it is a very busy and confusing place.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 9:36 pm

And, if anything, it'd get busier and more confusing as they pushed forward, with almost literally a wall of people of all shapes, sizes, and colors meandering from booth to booth, storefront to storefront, on their way towards the gates to the factory proper.

"This seemed... easier the last few times..." Sara says, trying to dodge around people (or huge legs) and keep up with Sam.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 12:29 am

"Almost its own defense mechanism... do you want to try an easier way?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:44 am

"If you know one. I don't want to wrestle my way through his mind..."

She made her way over to Sara and tried to scoop the girl up in her arms before her avatar grew immense black wings. Flapping, she aimed to fly over the crowd.

This, of course, drew QUITE a bit of attention from the assembled masses, but no hostile action, per se.

Soaring over the populace, they could see that the city stretched on for miles in all directions, with the factory operating as a central hub, with streets running off of it like spokes on a giant wheel.

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:02 pm

Not that Sara saw too much of that, only carefully opening her eyes every once in a while. Mindscape or not, it's still very high up and she'd rather not look too closely at how high exactly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:03 pm

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon enough..."

by **Tommy More** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 2:52 pm

One of the older-fashioned planes was nearing them.

"Oy! 'ello over there! Wot's all this flyin' about, then?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 1:35 pm

"You thought you were the only one who could fly?"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 3:17 pm

"Well, not quite, aye? But, then, I've got me here a source of substitutiary locomotion, roight?"

It would be noticeable just how Dick-Van-Dykish this Tommy sounded.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 3:24 pm

"Which is a much better way to do it." Sara says, eyes still closed most of the time.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 3:40 pm

"Don't suppose you're going to the factory?"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 4:02 pm

"Well, then, you would be quite mistaken, as it turns out I ~am~ going to the factory! What luck."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 4:38 pm

She went to guide Sara into one of the seats.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 4:56 pm

"Thanks. That's a little better."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 4:58 pm

Oh, she perhaps spoke a bit too soon

"Right-o, then. Hang on!" he said, taking the plane into a loop-de-loop and then a sudden dive down towards the factory.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 5:02 pm

Aaaand she closes her eyes again, clutching her seat, regretting the decision pretty much immediately.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 5:41 pm

"Always at the mercy of the pilot," she chuckled.

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 7:59 pm

The plane swooped in oddly, and then -- plunged down into one of the smokestacks of the factory!

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:02 pm

"Aaaaah.... Where are you going!?" Sara coughs as the plane is swallowed up by the smoke.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:07 pm

"Where else? Inside."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:13 pm

Showing no signs of slowing down, the plane plummeted, heading straight for the ground, zooming past layer after layer of catwalks.

At the last moment, a large metal claw shot down and caught the biplane by the tail, bringing it to a sudden stop.

"Ground floor!" Tommy said, hopping out. "Deliveries."

He opened a hatch in the bottom of the plane, and an altogether improbable amount of bags of flour tumbled out.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:18 pm

"Great... Can you take me to the control room?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:19 pm

"I'm not certain he can. Not his job, aye?"

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:22 pm

As Sam followed through the smoke, she would abruptly find herself... someplace else.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:27 pm

"'Fraid not, lass! I be runnin' behind on these deliveries as it stands."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:42 pm

"Right. Can you at least point me in the right direction?" she asks, climbing out of the plane.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 9:39 pm

"Where is it you wanted to go, then?" Tommy said, hosting yet another bag on his shoulder.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 9:42 pm

"The control room?"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 9:47 pm

Tommy paused and thought.

"Oh, I don't think we've got one of those anymore. No, no, it's all distributed wotsit nowadays. That's the buzzword they keep using."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 9:51 pm

"Oh great... Where's the nearest wotsit then?"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 10:36 pm

"I'm not thinking the lassie is quite grasping me meaning. There isn't any place that runs all of the factory now. Too dangerous! One mistake, and BLAMMO! Up goes the whole place."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 10:38 pm

"There have to be nodes of some kind..."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:04 pm

"Nodes? Well, what precisely are you looking for then, hrm? We have departments, I sup'ose..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:14 pm

"Now we're getting somewhere. What's the nearest department?"

by **Tommy More** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:16 pm

"Waste management. You looking for work?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:20 pm

"Bollocks. Just... just point me the way?"
