So, no room for blades she confirmed to herself.. what about darts? or.. that hissing.. that.. hissing. Not mechanical.. but.. organic?

Snakes? Julia felt a shudder run down her spine. Snakes, nested inside the wall, that as they crossed the room would follow them, and collapse out the holes and onto the floor. Probably incredibly aggravated snaked as well, that would attack everyone as they passed.

As soon as the jacket passes over a hole, it falls in half as the hissing grows louder.

No.. not snakes. Julia looked at the crumpled jacket and again felt hopelessness overcoming her. There was no way they would make it out of this alive. No. Don't give up, not yet. Its just a game, and games can be beaten. She rested her shoulder against the door frame, and slowly slid down it, bringing herself to eye level with the holes, which were now the focus of her attention.

Maybe, a highly concentrated jet of air emitting from the holes? would that have enough power to cut a jacket in half? No. Probably just push it up against the other wall.

"Maybe throw something a bit heavier, like a shoe?" She offered, her voice still slightly shaky from her earlier traumas.

Well obviously the holes...cut things in half.
"My name is Malcolm. I'm a state champion in track and I'm studying Nuclear Physics. So looking at the holes in the wall I cant tell if they are at different heights or not. If they aren't who is up for some crawling?"

Lethe sighed as the jacket sailed aimlessly to slump on the floor. She was getting impatient and contemplated rushing through the damn hallway, maybe wallrun. The girl suggested something heavier, and she stopped herself before suggesting one of the burly hunks of meat behind her.
"Fine, a shoe then. Anyone? It would take some time for me to take off mine, and I don't have that patience."

Hearing this "Malcom's" comment, she hides a smirk. "Yes, oh Malcolm of Nuclear Physics, they are of different heights. You are welcome to crawl ahead if you like. I shall duck and jump my way forth.. after you." She makes a welcoming gesture toward the hated hallway.

...
Michael hesitates before repling
"Lets see what happens to the shoe first. Then I may crawl through. And whats so funny? That I'm successful in my life where you probably aren't?" he replies clearly annoyed.

Axel can't help but let out a small laugh at Malcom's comment. Trying to contain it. He then looks at the others in the group.
"I've given up a jacket, anyone else wan't to volunteer a shoe?"

(OOC: Bobmaster, if you want to know what's in the spoilers you could just quote them. Would get annoying but it's a temporary solution.)

"Okay so can someone tell me what is wrong with what I have done with my life?" he says sounding ready to punch someone.

"You know what? Here is your damn shoe" He shouts as he throws the shoe out into the hall

The shoe is cut in half as it passes over a hole.

Lethe's smirk dies. "What was funny is something you just confirmed; your arrogance spawned of a belief that you are worth something because of what you believe yourself to accomplish. You do not even know what I have accomplished, and yet you are so hasty to place yourself above me as a defensive mechanism born of lack of confidence. The fact that you identify yourself with pathetic help of something so arbitrary only serves to insult yourself and what you could be. But I do not except a narrow-minded fool so full of himself to understand any of that."
She turned her gaze away, and hoped to not hear any more from this arrogant weakling, lest she would have to beat him down herself.
She had no patience for arrogance whatsoever, and her anger had led her to do some things she would have regretted if it was not for the enjoyment of it. No. I will not let fools get to me. It is below me. Below any of us. They will learn.. in time. I have to believe that.
A stern look clung to her face. She would ward off any further misinformed insults like water off the rocky shore, when she notices the thrown shoe being cut in half. But by what?

"Yes god damn me for trying to say why I'm here. The voice said he/she picked us for our abilities so damn me for saying what I did in my life. Listen arrguing and bickering wont help anything. Obviously what goes through the hall gets chopped in half. The holes are obviously motion triggered. Maybe if we walk/crawl/run in a way that avoids our bodies from crossing the path of the holes we can make it through the hall" He then sticks his hand out towards Lethe. "Can we start over fresh?" he asks

Axel looks at the spaces between the holes and then looks at Ethos.
"I don't think we will all make it through like that. Doesn't take a nuclear guy to figure that out."

OOC: Kenny I suggested it not knowing how big and far apart the holes are. Bob never said.

"Any better suggestions?"

OOC: The holes are spaced closely together and are small.

thebobmaster:
OOC: The holes are spaced closely together and are small.

OOC: Thanks

"I don't give a rat's ass about anything else you said apart from "That I'm successful in my life where you probably aren't?". Surely even narrow-minded ilk such as yourself can see how misinformed this assumption is? And how the insult only serves to insult yourself, as you know nothing of what I do? Feh.. whatever."

She turns around, not even noticing his outstretched hand. Hearing Axel's comment, the smirk returns. "What I was thinking, but avoiding saying in favour of integrity.. something he just blew half-way to the moon."

"Guys." Says Julia softly, not brave enough to try her own voice. But it is lost to the bickering. "Guys?" She says it louder this time, at normal pitch. But still, still they fight. In fighting isn't going to help anyone.

"Guys!" Yells Julia, her anger welling up inside her. "Please, please. We are all in this together." As she speaks she turns red puffy eyes on each of them in turn, dried tears still staining her cheeks. "And, I think i might have an idea." As she speaks Julia untied both her shoes, then slides her left shoe across the ground, underneath the first hole, waiting to see what happens.

Nothing happens to the shoe.

OOC: I'm going to be busy with the Fallout RP, please kill off my character in an extremely humours way.

"There you go." Declares Julia triumphantly. "We can crawl under it guys." She again looks at the hallway to make sure she is right. There is defiantly enough space to crawl underneath the holes. She may have to keep her body pressed unpleasantly close to the concrete floor, but the beams can defiantly be crawled under.

Gingerly Julia steps into the corridor, and takes two tentative steps towards the first hole. She doesn't really want to be the first person to try out her theory. Casting a hesitant glance back at the group behind her, finally her eyes come to rest on Lethe. "Come with me?" She asks softly, extending her hand to the other girl.

Malcolm looks at the girl and says"I'll come" Malcolm then get on the ground and starts to crawl through the hallway.

OOC: Hellspawn I'm happy to see you enjoy the Fallout RP.

Lethe stared into her emerald eyes.. and there was sadness. An endless pool of it that threatened to drown her if she did not break free.
"Yeah.. I- I'll go first."
Taking her hand gently, she lay down on the cold ground, chilling against her thighs and lower arms, and began crawling under the holes. Her mind was empty and her gaze oblivious. She had accepted the possible outcome of death. Her sinuous, acrobatic body allowed her to stay very low as she made her way past the first hole.

OOC: So are me Higurashi and vid20 all crawling through the hall?

Dastardos:
OOC: So are me Higurashi and vid20 all crawling through the hall?

OOC: Okay Higurashi. Also shouldn't we make Hellspawn go first since he quit =P
And bob has a Trojan and cant see spoilers that's why I'm posting OOCs like this.

The hissing sound is right above her head, but she makes it under with no problems.

Malcolm then afterward crawls to the end of the hall giving her a thumbs up when she turns.

As she crawled Julia pressed her entire body against the ground, moving forward just a few inches at a time, much slower then the more athletic Lethe and Malcolm. But still progressing.

OOC: Fixed Vid

Dastardos:
OOC: Okay Higurashi. Also shouldn't we make Hellspawn go first since he quit =P
And bob has a Trojan and cant see spoilers that's why I'm posting OOCs like this.

OOC: Mm, I suggested he could make his character go first, but he has yet to reply and we can not puppet his character. Only thebobmaster can.

Her heart was calm. There was nothing in her mind. Just the other end of that fucking hallway. Just the ground that scraped her legs and arms. The hissing sound was naught but a detail, like the chirping of birds in the morning sun or the drilling sounds of construction workers going about their daily ordeal.

Just the goal. Mm, you like it now, don't you? It's the exact same focus you pursue every day in favour of living yet another moment. Not just surviving.. but living. She told herself, her mind a separate entity as she was focus. Almost a bit tempted to do as she always does; run, but containing her inner energies for the purpose of avoiding this contraption. So powerful..

She then heard shuffling sounds behind her and whispered. "You shouldn't follow yet. Let me go to the other side first, lest we all get caught in the same trap." Why she whispered she did not know, but it was evidently gentler on her focus.

Going through last, Ethos crawls on his stomach after everyone passes through. Unfortunately, his body chooses the worst possibly time to sneeze. Thanks to his body jerking...the rest of his former companions get to see what a decapitation looks like up close.

As Lethe made her way across, it seemed fine for the rest, and they followed in succession. When the last one was about to cross, he.. sneezed? That would be comical if it was not for the effect. Blood spurted with furious pressure unto the white floor, and it seemed natural in some ways. Lethe looked away, took the girl's hand and pulled a little to encourage her to do the same and turned to the hallway in stead.

"Holy Shit" he says seeing Ethos get slaughtered. He then looks at Lethe again and says "Look I'm sorry about earlier. I have a temper and I was already pissed off. Can we start out fresh? We wont make it out of this death trap unless we work together."

"I told you, sure, whatever." Convinced he should be happy with that, as it was more than most got from her, she turned to the hallway once more. A chill went down her spine as she envisioned what more could await them.

Sam looked around taking in all the people and the hallway.
"Son of a bitch..."
