Yeah, thought I'd try this shit out. Bear with me.

~ Helmeted Rodent Central Command, aka The Loft ~

Damn I'm bored. Can't be assed to code, half the list on Awaystate... I know! I'll just go dimension hopping! You never know what you'll find!

Kawa makes some odd gestures, including but not at all limited to a double bird-flipping, and suddenly vanishes.

~ Somewhere really really dark ~

...the hell? Why can't I see?...

One full system scan later

Okay. Random system breakdowns due to random destinations. Note to self, please refer to the Rulebook next time.
error: memo system unavailable, restoration estimated in five hours.



Now I could just stand here and wait for at least my sight to return, but where's the fun in that?

Kawa starts walking in a more-or-less straight line, arms probing around...

Lessee who I bump into first...

Grey: "Welcome. You ok? You look lost."

The guy couldn't see Grey, but he was there. Poking him. In his lab. Beneath the Acmlm's Board SF centre. Grey walked over to a lightswitch and turned it on.

"Or, if not lost, then at least like you can't see a damn thing."

The room filled with bright white light, and a rather large and unruly-looking device with various attachments that didn't seem to serve any kind of purpose sticking out of it at obtuse angles could be seen.

"I guess I can call that experiment a success. YOU, my friend, were dimension hopping. Very dangerous stuff. You should be glad you're still alive and fapping."

"...ry -a-erous -fuff. ---- -ad --- - and fapping."

Turning to the opposite of the general direction of the b0rked sound, the reply was equally stupid...

I heard the last word just fine, but could you... A, repeat that, B identify yourself and C tell me what I can expect when my sight rebuilds? I think the light was just switched on, the solid black is gray now...

Turning around, Kawa knocks over an important looking device and, with blindness-defying agility, catches it with his foot before it falls on the floor.

Grey cocked his head to the side, in a slightly embarassed and exasperated motion.

Grey: "I said, You were dimension hopping. You should be glad to be alive, nevermind seeing things."

He looked around the lab. It was a pretty cramped place, more or less just the utility room of the Sim Battle Arena Annex, with little room enough for him, nevermind the physics-defying engines he built in his spare time.

"When you manage to see again, you'll find that there's not really all that much to see. This is probably the smallest place you're gonna end up in, save for maybe William's office. But that's all fine and dandy."

He notices the foot-catch, and grins.

"You're pretty quick. You'll fit right in around here, which reminds me... What exactly are you doing here?"

Oh, just bored.

Rub rub

You know, nothing to do, so you go out and cause a ruckus.

Rub rub

...and end up knocking over and catching... what seems to be a Perpetuum Mobile. Nice.

Blink

Now, what are -you- doing here?

Grey: "Me? Hah, just making random crap. Like this one time I made a device to pull off a cliche body-switcheroo and stuff... It was fun. But that perpetuum mobile isn't mine..."

He picks it up and tosses it into the air. Rather than come back down, it keeps rising until it hits the low ceiling, then builds up a rash of energy and cracks through the ceiling, shooting skyward. When Grey peers into the hole it makes, he can see the light from the very top floor of the building streaking downward into the room.

"Huh. That was odd. So, what do you wanna do first?"

Well, first... I want to put back the PM (no not that kind), and then...

Kawa looks straight up through the hole and strains a bit...

...go to the nearest pub or something?

Suddenly, the Perpetuum Mobile comes zooming back down through the hole and gently settles on it's original spot.

Yeah, last guy I saw who made one of those went crazy go nuts after I stopped his thing. Perpetuum my fuzzy ass.

Grey: "They're crocks, is what they are. Totally useless, especially if you get them out of science fiction magazines."

He snaps his fingers, and the door to his lab slides open with a loud, rusty creaking noise. A dank, dark cavern awaits.

"Lessee... There's the Cafeteria. Plenty of weird people in there to meet. Come on!"

He steps into the cavern, conjuring a torch to light the way.

Hey... conjuring stuff eh... how interesting. When I get a fix on "where" this is, I must remember this little fact.

I wonder what they serve here.

Grey: "Pretty much anything..."

He led his visitor through the catacombs, which were much less dangerous and threatening than they seemed. The sounds of yelling and screaming above them, however, were quite real. That's what went on in the Sim Battle Arena Annex...

"There's a meal plan associated with registering at the SB Arena. You gotta eat to be strong. Generally it follows a 15 meal/week plan, but you can stay in the cafeteria for a few hours in your spare time and easily pick up two or three meals. It's based on entry, not consumption. I think, though, the kitchens are kinda decimated. I used to be the janitor around here before I quit due the Lizard Brothers and the Gemini Twins trashed the kitchen stores one day in an impromptu fight. Nowadays I kinda just sit in my lab all day and try to think of weird inventions that sound like a good idea on paper but aren't really too keen in execution. I guess I'll give you the tour once we're done..."

The path continued to stretch outward... What was even stranger was that Grey didn't seem to have any problem leading a completely blind guy that he just met about five minutes ago along a dank passage beneath a bloody, violence-rousing wonderplex.

Taking in all this information about decimated kitchens and stuff, a silly yet utterly devilish grin (or devilish yet utterly silly depending on how you look at it) appears on Kawa face.

Nice posters they got here. "Yoro 4 God"? Something pleasing about that.

Grey continued through the catacombs...

Grey: "Yeah, that's mine. I salvaged it a while ago, kept it around for decorative purposes. Yoro's cool, but she doesn't visit very often. Most of the board stays out of this place."

There's a large stone door up ahead...

"I'll talk to you more about her when we have the time and the privacy. We're almost out now, as it is."

He reaches the door, and pushes it open easily, despite it looking like it would be very heavy and rusted shut. Clearly it's kept well-oiled.

The sight that greets them is one of extreme impression: It's the gigantic open megacomplex that contains Sim Battle Arenas A, B, C, D, E, F, and the subarenas that are used for practice bouts. Each arena is like a football stadium, extravagant and fully-loaded, right down to the hot dog salesmen. The sounds of battle echoed in the air as great warriors from all corners of the planet went at it with such ferocity that lesser men would wet their pants at the very flexing of their deadly muscles. Large turrets and towers lined each stadium's extreme ends, and in the middle of them all is, naturally, the infirmary.


"It's a lot smaller from the outside. Come on, the cafeteria's this way."

Grey took a left and headed back into the building through a side-entrance, which led down a well-lit hallway with rooms lining it on the left and right sides.

"These are user residences. They stay mainly in the general area of the building, and most of them don't do too much work, just keep to themselves. The Hackers all live above in the ROM Hacking section."

Grey twisted left, right, left again, and to and fro along the series of hallways... With over 2000 rooms to navigate in this section alone, it was natural to assume it'd take some time. Surprisingly, though, the series of hallways ended relatively quickly.

"We didn't really have to take this way, there are links that you can run through to get to places easily, I just wanted to show you the grounds. It's up ahead. Come on!"

The latest hallway soon gave way to a large round room that had a smaller room within it, which was still impressive in its own right. Behold, the Sim Battle Auditorium and Cafeteria! The smell of dozens of exotic and energizing dishes wafted through the windows of the smaller building, which had a connected storeroom in the back side of it that led deeper into the Board Building's personal records and storage department. Archives, if you will.

A quick glance out the window would show that the place was geographically right next to Grey's door, except on the right instead of the left.

Wait a minute... hold that phone. Something you said sounds familiar.

Very faint rewind noises can be heard...

From out of nowhere, but definately from Kawa's general direction, a familiar voice softly echoed...

...The hackers all live above in the ROM Hacking section.

Click!

Waitaminnit, now I recognize this place! All I ever saw was rom hacking, craziness and Pokéhack...

It's bigger than I thought. Verrrry impressive.

Bel had just finished an energy drink when he could feel a new aura in the cafeteria. He had the robe's hood down so no one could see his face. The robe was black so whoever approached him got an unpleasant feeling along their spine.

Bel with telepathy to Grey:
Yo, who´s the guy with the Pimp hat? I could feel his aura among others here. He´s new, right?

Bel's telepathic message would never reach Grey.

Luke (adult): "You should know better Bel. Ever since Dracoon, Star, Nijote, Nino, Stacice, Fenrir, and Odin suddenly broke out into a fight, Pheonix put up a barrier so that no powers will work here... that is... if you're weaker than him."

Luke was relaxing, tuning his guitar. Chains hung off him, touching the ground. He always looked to relaxed.
