Into Thin Air - Getting It Together (Open!)
Buck didn't seem surpsied at Richie's reaction. "Of course. I am aware that my appearance may solicit some measure of surprise, but please, do not be intimidated. If I were indeed a common Troll, I would hardly be talking to you now, would I?"
~union4lyfe~
Shadowcrash laughed a little as she nudged Richie in the ribs, "Guy's got a point."
"Aye, soz about that." Richie answered as he removed his glasses and facepalmed. Hard. Shadowcrash rolled her eyes.
"One of these days, Richie, you're gonna break your nose if you keep doing that."
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

"So, anything to do?" says the immobile Tulpa, Tzadi, "OR are we going to stand here with the constant dialoug?"

Shadowcrash rolled her eyes again, "Yeah yeah, okay. So, okay... this job's simple enough. If a little risky. But not -that- risky."
"We're gonna be going into a pocket dimension called Thin Air, to rescue a former human called Isabella. She's kinda being held against her will and everything, so... who's definitely in? Yay or Nay before I have Richie here workup a portal?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

"well every thing sounded fine..up to the point you said Rich was casting something .. do we have any saftey gear " spoke a grinning Hellskeeper ...
"sure always up for a rescue .."
"Yes. But shouldn't an experianced magic user cast it?" judging by Hells reaction he clearly deduced that Richie was not a magician. More like a Stage performer...

Buck nodded. "I am certainly in. But do we have a plan? Do we have any knowledge of this dimension at all? Charging in blindly is a certain way to fall prey to an ambush or trap."
~union4lyfe~
Richie rolled his eyes at Tzadi.
"Thanks for the vote of no confidence... The plan is, we get in, grab Isabella, and get her the hell out. After that we can take on her guardian if need be, but frankly I'm kinda hopin' to sort her out without violence." Richie finished off, gesturing toward Shadowcrash, who continued.
"I've been in there a few times myself, to check it out. There's some kind of fortress in there, but from what I've seen of it, seems to be pretty empty, besides Isabella and her guardian. Now, if we're gonna be able to get Isabella out of there with a far lesser risk of detection, there's a hole in one of the fortress's walls we can shufty on in through, and if we're all sneakier then Solid Snake, we should be able to get to her room without much, if any trouble." Shadowcrash then place her hands on her hips. "Or we could just charge in through the front door. Oh yeah, don't worry about Richie's skills. the worst his last magic screwup did was give birth to a girl-Richie. Long story, but that was months ago."
"Did you really need to tell them that!?" Richie barked.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

"Diversions, always best to have a back up plan." says Tzadi as he finaly sheaths his Falchion

Hellskeeper flashed a smile at Richie .." call me a fuss-pot but this guardian ..what sort of guardian are we talking about ..man with gun ..demonic hellhound ..trippleheaded ice breathing dragon..or what ? "
Silently a figure in a blue cloak and glowing tattoos, walks up to the group, as the person get closer the temperature seems to drop a couple of degrees. "I hope im not too late, are you Richard Stackers party?"
Shadowcrash nodded as Richie grumbled to himself, fishing into his jacket for something.
"That we are!" Shadowcrash answered with a slight wave, before turning back to Hellskeeper. "How does a crazy-lookin' goth chick that -probably- knows a lot of magic kung fu sound?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Buck nodded to the approaching figure. "Greetings, my super-powered compatriot."
~union4lyfe~
Hellskeeper smiled ..".a lot better than much i have bumped into around this place .." " so we going in cape style or is it casual dress " she continued , looking down at her worn jeans and nikes....
"Just whatever works for you," Richie piped up as he pulled what looked like some kind of lens from his jacket and laid it on the ground in front of him. "In all honesty I doubt anyone besides those directly involved in this are really gonna give a flyer, ya reckon?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

"Who will distract? I can if you want a distraction though like most heroes you will most likely go in and hope for the best while escorting them out..."

"Oh yes, it's a good thing you reminded me. I really can't get this suit damaged, or Jenkins will be most vexed. I will be right back." With that, Buck, walked off behind a nearby tree. The sound of rustling could be heard.
~union4lyfe~
"We could always get Mr. Boneblade to provide the distraction." Shadowcrash joked. "How're you doin' with that, Richie?"
"Aye, gimme a flamin' sec, willya?" Richie barked back, before continuing with whatever it was he was doing.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Buck returned, now dressed in a much more intimidating manner: black tank top and leather trousers, red beret upon his head. He observed Richie's ritual with a slightly bored expression, then leaned against a tree. "How long is this likely to take?"
~union4lyfe~
"A few seconds, man" Richie answered as she held his arms out to the sides slightly. "Hang on..." Richie then closed his eyes, what appeared to be a dark mist forming under the lens.
The lens then glowed an eerie purple, causing the mist to explode into a large orb, big enough to engulf two people completely at a time.
"Right, there's the flamin' way in, if you're still for this... I'll be holding the door open." Richie then casually strolled into the orb, failing to come out of the other side. Shadowcrash watched before rolling her eyes.
"Well, you heard the man." She added before rushing in herself.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Hellskeeper let the flames come .. and became a blazing humanoid form , then she stepped into the opening ...
Tzadi simply stepped in

Buck mutters "Can't forget the teleporter.." and drops a small platform on the floor, taking a little beacon from the side and clipping it to his hat.
He then cracked his knuckles and stepped into the portal.
~union4lyfe~
Thin Air
On the other side of the portal was the pocket dimension Thin Air, a seemingly empty void bereft of anything at all, barring Richie's own apartment, which was previously torn from his world. Looking outside its windows or even the many holes left in its walls revealed that the apartment was now resting on seemingly solid ground, a field of what appeared to be pitch-black grass surrounding the structure ahead.
"Well, that's our destination, kid." Shadowcrash announced as she squinted at the obsidian fortress ahead. Richie stood some distance behind her, keeping his left hand in the portal as he tried to see the fortress for himself. Literally 'holding the door open' as he promised.
"Looks proper dead as a dodo." Richie piped up. "You're deffo sure we couldn't have just done this alone? I mean, these guys could get a little tetchy if they came here expecting a monster job and only seeing a 6 minute suckfest, you know?"
"Trust me, Richie," the ghost responded. "This is in no way gonna be a six-min-suckfest if we're not careful."
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

"Aye," Richie added, "The more the mer... what the flip!?" Richie jumped back slightly in suprise as Buck's appearance. Shadowcrash merely raised a brow.
"I... take it you're here to help, right?"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
