[AoshimaMichio]

Wait with Lisa.
"I hope mommy and daddy come home soon. They'll help!"

"I can only hope they will."

It has been quiet around 10 minutes now, so Lisa stands and quietly climbs stairs up to the hatch and stops to listen.

"I think they are gone now." She slowly and carefully opens the hatch to peek out before climbing out. "Yup, they are gone. Thank gods they didn't found me! And thank you for letting me hide."

CHARGE! Then slide and kick him in the groin. Get in the hole, Lisa first.

He charges too! He realizes too late your devious plan and so your sole of your boot connects with his crotch. He breathes in sharply making whiny noise, and empathic responses in your brain make you too wince. That gonna hurt... Your maneuver elicts a "Whoah!" response from people watching your fight from buildings and shadows and few "That's dirty move, man!"

Not stopping your momentum you get up and run to the hole, slowing just enough for Lisa to catch up with you. The hole is about ten-twelve meters wide vertical chasm into unfathomable dark depths. Your survival instincts kick in and it suddenly feels very stupid idea to jump in. Lisa doesn't hesitate and jumps right down, but not before grabbing hold of your hand. Her momentum pulls you in and gravity takes care of the rest.

Do you fear heights?

"Good idea.  I've never seen that kind of space janitor before, do you know if they travel in groups or generally alone?"

Get off the personal cruisers and EVA behind some space debris with a good view of the wormhole.  Wait until the space janitor leaves and then start sneaking towards the wormhole.

"Space what? I have no... Oh him. I don't know, that depends of person, I guess. Life situation and such. Wait! Look! That thing it is carrying! Please don't let it be me..."

You look carefully at the thing. It twitches and trashes occasionally and is just about right size... The space janitor walks deeper into the wormhole and then opens a portal (door) to maintainance space and disappears inside. You start sneaking together with Lisa after him. Although sneaking into wormhole gathers some attention from few bypassing spaceships who blare their "I'm impotently raging idiot!" radio signal.

Samuel makes a sound that sounds like something in the middle of a squeak and a scream, before running as fast as he can out the back door with Lisa.

That is commendable course of action.

You run out of the house and catch up with Lisa at the fence. She suddenly staggers sideways as if hit with a sledge-hammer and makes same kind noises as you did a moment ago. You can see tears rising into her eyes as you pull her along.

[McDonald]

Scream and flail about.

[Fr0stByt3]

Put the piece of the rifle I'm currently cleaning down and open the door slightly. "Hello? Who is it?"

[Ama]

Try to carry Lisa and keep running away from my house trying to stick to side paths and alleys.

[Nunzillor]

Go to the singularity's entrance (maintenance door) and send a greeting radio signal (knock).

"Don't worry, let's see if we can rescue you.  Take this laser pistol.   We might need it."

Hand out a laser pistol with its settings set to stun (a stun baton) to Lisa.  Take the other one out of my other jacket pocket and get ready to use it.

[wipeout1024]

Hug Lisa.
"But, why do you need to go?"

[AoshimaMichio]

Scream and flail about.

You scream and flail, but Lisa holds your hand thightly. After few scary seconds of air roaring in your ears you find yourself standing firmly on stable ground, still screaming and flailing about. You don't quite remember the landing, if there even was any. One moment you were in middle free fall, on next moment you are standing upright on pleasantly stable ground.

Thick fog covers the ground up to your ankles. So thick, that it almost looks like liquid, making it impossible to see the actual ground. Everything is covered by a fog. You can see dark silhouettes of buildings on your both sides, about 7-9 meters away, but fog covers any details. While it is very silent here, you can hear weak whispers in the air...

"We are safe for a moment. Even if they jumped after us, they won't end in same spot with us and the fog of Old Town makes it very hard to find anything here. So never let go of my hand." Lisa whispers. "But we still need to find good house to settle in. Many forgotten things wander down here, not all benevolent..."

Put the piece of the rifle I'm currently cleaning down and open the door slightly. "Hello? Who is it?"

Behind the door stands a kid of indeterminable gender. Probably between 12 and 15 years old. Dirt covers his/her face and hair and baggy patched clothes hide all of his/her body. The kid speaks with high shaky voice: "Could you please help me? I am being hunted by killers..."

Try to carry Lisa and keep running away from my house trying to stick to side paths and alleys.

You throw Lisa on your shoulder and keep running between buildings.

"Oh no, they killed me!" Lisa sniffs. "They... they tortured me..."

_{"Ooh, she's running again! This way, bro!"}

Go to the singularity's entrance (maintenance door) and send a greeting radio signal (knock).

"Don't worry, let's see if we can rescue you.  Take this laser pistol.   We might need it."

Hand out a laser pistol with its settings set to stun (a stun baton) to Lisa.  Take the other one out of my other jacket pocket and get ready to use it.

You hand out the laser pistol and pull another one out from your pocket dimension. Your radio signal does activates automated opening sequence (not locked, opened by force of your knock). Inside the maintainance space is a standard manual space elevator (spiral staircase) going up and down, but no sight of the space janitor. Faint sound of steps echoes in the elevator.

"Down." Lisa whispers. "He definitely went down."

Hug Lisa.
"But, why do you need to go?"

Lisa smiles and returns the hug, dirty as it is. She smells like exteme lack of shower.

"Because I don't want to drag you into this. Those people are dangerous and won't hesitate to kill any upper city people crossing their way."

[Nunzillor]

"Then down we go.  At least we don't have to worry too much about being quiet: there's no sound in space (though I can hear something, I think he forgot to turn off his radio communicator).  Don't you agree?"

Carefully descend the manual space elevator, keeping an eye out for the space janitor and any automated defense systems (traps).

Be sure to collapse the singularity's waveform (lock the door) before I descend.

[Gwolfski]

seal singularity's entrance behind you.

[Nunzillor]

((Ahh, good idea.  Also... where did the playerbase go?))

[wipeout1024]

Cry.
"Well....*cries* I'LL MISS YOU, LISA!"

[AoshimaMichio]

"Then down we go.  At least we don't have to worry too much about being quiet: there's no sound in space (though I can hear something, I think he forgot to turn off his radio communicator).  Don't you agree?"

Carefully descend the manual space elevator, keeping an eye out for the space janitor and any automated defense systems (traps).

Be sure to collapse the singularity's waveform (lock the door) before I descend.

"Space? But we are not in space..." Lisa whispers. She's actually right. This is not in space. This is separate maintainance dimension, which provides safeish shortcuts to few places along the wormhole. Having air here is not completely outrageous suggestion. Weird sure, but not too much so.

Waveform collapses easy enough, so you proceed down the space elevator with Lisa. Either defense systems are malfunctioning or you too good at hiding your quantum state. On bottom of the elevator is a short tunnel leading to T intersection. Looking left and right at the intersection you see the space janitor moving some things aside at the tunnel wall. The bag it was carrying is laying on ground next to it, and it doesn't seem like the space janitor has seen you yet.

((Ahh, good idea.  Also... where did the playerbase go?))

I wish to know this as well.

Cry.
"Well....*cries* I'LL MISS YOU, LISA!"

"I'll miss you too. Thanks for help again. You have golden heart." Lisa carefully peeks out of the door, waves you one last time and slips quietly into darkness.

Later on that night when your parents return you tell them about Lisa, but they don't believe you at all and blame you of all dirt on the floor. In next two days you completely forget Lisa and everything related to her.

((So, is my character the first one who's story has ended, while not dying?))

[Nunzillor]

"You're right, I don't know what I was thinking.  Anyway here's my plan, what do you think?"

Hide to the right of the maintenance space's tunnel, with Lisa to the left such that anyone in the tunnel can't see us.  Then, throw something at the stairs to make the space janitor come to investigate.  When he gets close, we both fire at him with our laser pistols set to stun.

[AoshimaMichio]

((So, is my character the first one who's story has ended, while not dying?))

It appears so. Gratz!

"You're right, I don't know what I was thinking.  Anyway here's my plan, what do you think?"

Hide to the right of the maintenance space's tunnel, with Lisa to the left such that anyone in the tunnel can't see us.  Then, throw something at the stairs to make the space janitor come to investigate.  When he gets close, we both fire at him with our laser pistols set to stun.

"What if he won't investigate?"
