Seems like doomsday's come early this year...

[grandbellknight]

Characters: Those searching for the life support terminals
Location: All around Luministi!
Time: During the quick-time event
Summary: Time to find those terminals, reset them (all at the same time, mind!) and fix this! ... But is it really going to be that easy?
Warnings: None (yet?)

Six terminals, six parties looking for them, and time is running out. ... Along with any breathable air.

Following Proctor's instructions (and unfortunately limited memory), everyone looking for the important life support terminals would have to begin searching. Though they don't know exactly where each one is hidden, they knew they'll be in locations that were important to those originally in charge of the town. So, with a few locations in mind, at least they aren't blindly wandering the town. The idea is to split up, to try to get to the terminals simultaneously.

Still, they'd have to act fast. As time passes, it gets just that much harder to breathe, after all.

((OoC: Feel free to use this post to log out your adventures in terminal-resetting. ♥ Prose or [action brackets], probably doesn't matter. Go, go, go!))

[Sophie's instincts are right on. When she looks underneath, she'll see that one of the booths looks like it's moved away from the wall--and a soft glow from beyond the crack can be seen a second later.]

[fortune_sought]

[she spots that glow and grabs the booth near it, trying to push it farther from the wall to reveal more]

[luministimods]

[after a few good pushes, the booth gives! And reveals...

[A terminal! The terminal is a foot wide and looks like it can be removed from its holder. The screen shows a field of stars, but soon turns black with simple white letters that read:]

To access this terminal, your choice is a simple one: A or B.

Answer correctly, and you may proceed.

Answer incorrectly, and you may not live long enough to regret it.

[Then two buttons appear onscreen, one with a bright A on it and a B on the other.]

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie stares at the strange screen for a moment, frowning. but after an attempt to contact the Proctor fails to yield any useful information, she sighs and considers it for a moment more]

Perhaps...since they mentioned correct first...

[and she reaches out and presses the button marked "A"]

[luministimods]

[The chosen button flashes for a few seconds, then the whole screen goes black as though it were thinking...

It's black for a good minute before another screen appears--one that Proctor would recognize:]

To reset Life Support systems, press when ready.

[Then a single button appears, waiting to be pressed. It seems the terminal won't tell you if you chose right or wrong. But once the button is ready to be pressed, do so.]

[ooc: To make things easier, we can assume Sophie has waited to press it when the others have found their terminals.]

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie does wait to hear from everyone else that the six terminals have been found. she stays in the Malt Shop, though, afraid that the terminal will disappear if she turns her back for even a moment. and finally, when it's time, she presses the button]
