IC: Clan House

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan turned to face the armored form that was Tom, ignoring the finger from Leyla.
"Yeah, tom?"

[tomaszavenger]

"You're here too, that's cool..." Tom began, but was cut off

Clan House Bot

"Okay guys... the first challenge is up. The prize will be knockout immunity... and really... it's not much of a challenge. But the idea is, all of you have to come up with an idea for a new area... and once people make their idea, people will vote. The idea that wins will have that area unlocked and the person to have the immunity. Meeting over..." the hologram said, before fading away.

Tom

Hmm... a communal challenge." Tom noted. "This should be fun..."

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan was a little puzzled at the first challenge.
"A new area? The hell? Does it mean like a bowling alley or something like that?" he asked Tom.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla frowned.

"Wait....what? Is there a place we go to say the idea? What do we DO!?"

Stupd bot...thing.....

Sighing, Leyla crossed her arms and stated to think.

[Nekoman]

"So.. the first thing we're pitted against is our own imagination?" Zach shut his eyes to think.
"Now, what would be the most likeable thing to put in this stupid facility?" Zach immediately thought of what everyone was complaining about here. They all missed their families, so why not a room to essentially travel back in time? Not literally, he thought, more like a place that seemed early 21st century.

Not the best plan, but I suppose a little tweaking and it'd be pretty great.

[tomaszavenger]

"I think he means we make an area up and they'll build it for us..." Tom stated.

"Calculating choice.." Boot said happily.

"Hmm... I'll have to go think about it..." Tom said.

"My processing speed means I can make an idea work within seconds, guess I can relax!" Boot said, his personality transistors beginning to function. Inside Boot's mind, things were begining to calibrate to the new environment.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla grinned.

"I KNOW! Media center! ^^ So we can have books and computers for the people who didn't bring their, or they don't work now!"

She wasn't really paying attention to anyone else at the moment, just blurting out things.

Lilly, who had been ignored up till now, simply nodded.

"Arcade...."

Leyla clapped her hands giddily.

"OH I LIKE THAT TOO!!!"

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan shrugged. If it was that simple, he had only few things in mind. Though One stood above the others.
"What about something like a Holodeck, you know, from Star Trek?"
he suggested.

[tomaszavenger]

Tom heard Leyla's idea and liked it, he could use a good book... since he didn't bring too many, if he brought one at all... he couldn't remember.

He found himself staring at her and quickly shook his head, turning back to Dan.

"Not watched Star Trek... what is it like?"

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan shrugged.
"It's basically a room that makes interactive holograms, hard ones too. Like so." he ordered his nanites to turn his palm into a hologram emitter, it produced the image of a Phantom from the Halo series.
"Hard holograms are ones you can touch, if you didn't know that."

[tomaszavenger]

"So... how would we use these holograms?" Tom asked, not getting the idea. He thought hard holograms were cool though.

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan shrugged.
"All kinds of things, really, from acting out books, to just screwing around." Dan looked around. He might need to just show him.

[Yetisarge]

"OH son of a bitch you have got to be kidding me." Aaron said "Way to many choices and a pie load of mine are probably already thought up.. oh wait.. I got one." Aaron said keeping it to himself for the moment.

"As do I though I highly doubt it will be a bit winner by the looks of the people in this house hold." Zerb said sitting down.

"Anyway do we have like a board we are suppose to put our idea on so people know it is ours or something?" Aaron said annoyed with the bots for the fact they never fully thought things out in human terms.

[tomaszavenger]

Clan House Bot

A thread for posting your ideas will be up soon...

For now, you'll have to think...

[Yetisarge]

"Well thanks for that info now. I swear I think that I Robot is right, you can't trust robots." Aaron muttered kind of annoyed really.

[tomaszavenger]

"Actually... robots aren't supposed to be trusted, only the programmers. Once the programmers are trusted or not, it follows on to their robots." Tom said as he heard Aaron, watching the annoying robot hologram appearing and disappearing.

His eyes kept turning to look around the room, but he stood next to Dan and Zach.

"Interesting Dan... practicality is an issue... but I like the idea!" Tom said cheerfully.

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan smiled.
"Tom, we could also use it for video games, like Halo." he cackled, he'd always wanted to go toe-to-toe with a Jiralhanae, be it real, or not.

[Yetisarge]

"Well I think we know what Dan and Eric.. if not mostly Eric would use such a Hologram room for." Aaron chuckled and smirked knowing full well what Eric would probably use it for.

[echoes]

-Dan-
Dan heard Aaron's comment, and he was suprised by the fact that he hadn't thought of it earlier.
"Okay, now we REALLY need a holochamber." He said grinning

[Yetisarge]

"Wow.. that took you long enough to figure out besides I figure its better then just looking it up online or watching television." Aaron said chuckling wondering how Eric or hell even Sara would react to that one.

[Nekoman]

Zach laughed.
"Maybe you could wrestle virtual counterparts in the holodeck. Give me a perfectly legal chance to beat the sh*t outta Dan."

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan stared at Zach.
"You can fight a hologram all you want, you'll NEVER be able to defeat me in a true fight."

[TrickyLA]

Lilly narrowed her eyes.

"No no, dibs on Video game arcade room thing. >0"

Leyla shook her head.

"Lilly, Holograms and video games are waaaay different. I like both ideas!"

Leyla laughed at the pouty expression Lilly was now wearing. She guess that since Lilly was far away from anyone that would judge her like it mattered, Lilly could act completely differently. It was a nice change actually.

"I love books though! I know alot of people who read."

Blinking, she realized that there were more people gathered nearby than before.

More people yay!

[charli]

~Sara~

Sara wasn't going to think about the holodeck in the way AJ had suggested - not yet, anyway - lest she lose the rest of the control she used to have over her blushing. But now it seemed that she needed to come up with an idea. So, what to do? The holodeck kind of covered everything as it could be anything. But none of it would be real. She kind of liked the idea of a media center, but that idea had been taken. "There's not a beach already here, is there?" she asked the bot. "I know the holodeck could make a beach, but it would be nice to have the real thing."

[tomaszavenger]

"Video games? If there's strategy then I'm up for that..." Tom said with a smile. He could torture the characters in a game like Black and White...

Tom slowly walked away from Dan and came closer to Leyla, seeing as he hadn't talked to her already.

"Hi..." he greeted quite shyly. He soon realised he was getting nervous.

Maybe this wasn't such a great idea.

[Nekoman]

"I've got mine down." Zach said, again getting pissed at the lack of creativity the bots had. A mental competition was a bad idea in the first place, mainly because ideas were so easy to steal, whereas physical abilities were essentially glued to the owner.

[tomaszavenger]

"I guess I have an idea... but I'm keeping it secret." Tom thought to himself.

Blurting out ideas wasn't the best thing in ths game, but a lot of people are doing it... maybe to ward people off with simplicity while they create megadons of complex ideas. Me... my idea is not too complicated, but I believe it may be a necessity... this place feels too confined...

He felt a small shaking in front of Leyla.

Damn it... I haven't shaken in ages... last time was when... oh shit.

The muscular convulsions were suppressed by Tom but even so he felt uneasy, and he almost ran for cover, but he didn't want to be rude, or become a total embarrassment.

[charli]

~Sara~

Sara liked the beach idea, though she was mentally beating herself with a stick. Why didn't she think about the Code ahead of time? Ah, well. She eyed Tom. All of the confidence he had had earlier had completely dissipated once he had approached Leyla. Lawl. Why was he wearing that armor, though? Had no one explained to him that fighting was strictly verboten?

[Nekoman]

Zach eyed Sara, who was watching Tom. Scooting next to her, he whispered in her ear,
"You don't know about that mad crush of Tom's, do you?" Zach smirked.

[Yetisarge]

"I'll take it that the beach idea was no in code so you mean the beach with sand and the ocean and all that stuff." Aj said with a chuckle and listened as the other people argued and come up with their own ideas.
