Hang on, man. We're still waiting for Flintus... who apparently just logged off. Remember, since it's an RTD, I need to get all actions in before I can conclude the round.

Also, yeah, you have a gown (whilst floating around in a tube full of liquid).

Try and examine the mask, is it relied to the tank ? Is there some indication of how much time there is left ?

It's an RTD, man. You get one action per round. Which are you doing?

EDIT: If Flintus doesn't log back on, I'll conclude the round, skipping his turn for now.

(Generally you only roll for things with a chance of failure, which is why I did a bit of roleplay. Unless I can fail at making sure all of my limbs exist?)

No, but you're attempting to see out of the tank, as well, and the roll determines how much you see. ;)

Stephen looks around, a bit bewildered, and reaches out to the inside of the cylinder hoping that it is a dream. Feeling it solid beneath his hand, and becoming somewhat more lucid as he wakes, he slows his movements to avoid knocking the mask off as he looks around.

Result: 6

Your mask remains on, but as you try to peer out of your cylinder, the murky liquid clears for a second and you are nearly blinded by an incandescent light. However, you managed to catch a glimpse of several other cylinders, some machinery, and a closed metal door.

Cecilia feels sleepy, but attempts to bang on the glass with her hands, even though she knows nothing will happen.

Result: 3

You accomplish nothing by banging on the glass. And it appears that it's not glass at all, but some kind of plastic.

Swim around, trying to find a way to reach open air

Result: 5 + 1 (Waterborn) = 6

You try to swim around, but quickly realize that the cylinder is too confining for that. Undaunted, you begin to push against the sides. As you strain against the smooth surface, your head smashes against the top of the cylinder, which pops open with a hydraulic hiss.

Elizabeth looks around the cylinder and then she flails her arms around, even weakly hitting the sides of it. She instinctively looks up, hoping that there's some kind of exit on the top of it, or something that would help her escape from this strange fluid.

Result: 3

As you rather uselessly flail around, you notice that there appears to be a seam in the top of the cylinder.

Elizabeth looks closer at it and then attempts to fiddle with it.

Edit: Tsk, fine, but it's first time I have to bold RP-related stuff x3

Guys, can you make the action part of your post in bold, with the RP part uninflated? It's easier to determine if I should or shouldn't roll that way.

Stephen propels himself upwards, kicking gently while feeling and looking for some way out of the cylinder.

With great effort, i try to lift myself out of the tank, onto the ground below, removing my mask if i can feel the cold air around me.

Damnation, eclipsetail just logged out as well. I'll skip both eclipsetail's and Flintus' actions for now, but after this round, I will no longer be doing any skippage unless I am specifically asked.

Elizabeth looks closer at it and then attempts to fiddle with it.

Result: 5

You look closer at the seam. You realize that it is apparently some kind of hatch with a single button. You attempt to fiddle with it.

Result: 1
(ladies and gentlemen, our first 1 of the game)

You fiddle with the button. In the process of trying to figure out how it works, you accidentally manage to permanently depress it. Oops.

Stephen propels himself upwards, kicking gently while feeling and looking for some way out of the cylinder.

Result: 4

The cylinder appears to be a few feet taller than you, giving you room to propel yourself upwards a little. Your probing hands discover a button set into the top of the cylinder.

With great effort, i try to lift myself out of the tank, onto the ground below, removing my mask if i can feel the cold air around me.

Result: 2 + 1 (Waterborn) = 3

You just barely make it out of the tank, but you fall to the ground below!

Roll to Dodge: 2 + 1 (Waterborn) = 3

You manage to throw your hands up in time, preventing a nasty lump on your head. Your mask comes off in the process, and you gulp down what tastes like recycled air. Also, you suddenly realize that you are naked.

(that Waterborn bonus saved you this time)

You continue to do nothing. The shock is just beginning to set in.

Going offline now, hoping to get everyone's actions in the meantime.
