Evernight dateless: Ha ha, Ness you advertise the hard hats as if they were a piece of bread!
Ness: Sorry ~:| , I was sort of hungry and thirsty, I need choca
Evernight: I lost Pavo, you seen him?
Ness: No, but if you go to the entrance Hall you can get your hard hat
Evernight: o_O Okay
BD and Gimli: *walk up stairs**BD further ahead because Gimli can't keep up**both on the look out for squirrels*
Squirrels: *take potshots at BD and Gimli with acorns*
BD and Gimli: *protected by Ness's magical hard hat and metal helmet and armor respectively**walk straight by squirrels**make it to the top of staircase unharmed*
Random Squirrel: *pulls lever activating slide*
BD and Gimli: *have fun sliding down before realizing they'll have to climb up again* Damn squirrels :|

[act]Rilla has a firm hold of Fred and George. They proceed up the stairs.[/act]
Fred: I feel like I'm being watched.
George: That's because you are being watched. [act]points to squirrels[/act]
Fred: Oh. Um. They seem to be armed.
Rilla: Oh, don't mind them. I'm sure they're really friendly. They just get a little overexcited at times... Now hurry up, or we'll slide down again.
Fred: ... They're glaring at me.
Rilla: Don't tell me you're scared of cute, fluffy, squirrels? XD
Fred: ... I'm sure their eyes are glowing.
[act]They make it to the top of the staircase. A lone squirrel throws an acorn, which bounces off Fred's hard hat.[/act]
Fred: Ha! See? See? They must be full of Dark Magic!
Rilla: Come one, we're almost there.
[act]They enter the attic.[/act]
Avialle: [act]enters the Stairwell with Merry[/act]
Merry: 8-| Look at all those stairs! I don't have to climb all them, do I? :-/
Avialle: Yes, you do. [act]grabs his hand[/act] Hurry up, or we'll miss the big performance!
[act]Two minutes later...[/act]
Merry: I can't... [act]huff[/act] make it. [act]huff[/act] You go on [act]huff[/act] without me. [act]huff[/act]
Avialle: [act]shrugs[/act] Ok. :) [act]begins to walk up the stairs[/act]
Merry: Hey! ":( You can't just leave me, I'm your date! Carry me, please. ;D
Avialle: ::) No.
Merry: But -
Avialle: No. And look, we're almost there. There are only two more steps. [act]opens the door of the attic[/act]
Merry: :D [act]scrambles up the stairs just before they turn into a giant slide[/act] Phew. glad I'm not those people. [act]points down at the people sliding helplessly back down the stairs[/act]
Avialle: Come on, let's go.

Bingley: By Gods! Did you see that! The stairs change somehow into a slide.
Jossie: Ohhh so that's why we have hard hats!
Bingley: What did you say?
Jossie [act]innocent and dons the hard hat, and swings Bingley's hat onto his head[/act]: Let's go on up quickly! Before it changes again! [act]begins to pull Bingley towards the first step[/act]
Bingley: Gah! 8-| Why do these squirrels look not as nice as the other ones in the Entrance Hall?
Jossie: just pretend they're not there and make a run for it. We'll be up in no time! [act]starts climbing the stairs with Bingley reluctantly in tow[/act]
Bingley: The furry creatures are more than strange - they look very dirty and should have no place indoors with people of our stature! [act]covers his head as the squirrels begin throwing acorns at him[/act] AHHHHHHH!
Jossie: You silly man! Now you've gone and offended the squirrels and slowing us... [act]the stairs disappear the the staircase becomes a giant slide[/act] :roll: doooowwwnnnn.... [act]lands at the bottom of the stairs[/act] Actually that's quite fun! Let's do that again!!
Bingley [act]moans from the ground[/act]: Ow.
Jossie [act]offers him her hand[/act]: Up you get and up we go!
Binigley: Again?? ~:|
[act]Both run up the stairs - squirrels missing Jossie but managing to throw the acorns accurately at Bingley. After a minute or so they reach the top[/act]
Jossie [act]gasping for breath[/act]: Oh... my... GOD. There were so many steps!
Bingley [act]trying to regain his dignity after being chased up the stairs by squirrels. He straightens his jacket, and offers his arm[/act]: shall we enter?
Jossie: Perhaps you will have learnt not to offend the little squirrels with your proud high society talk? We do have to go back down there later.
Bingley: X:-/
Firefall: [act]emerges into the Stairwell with Simon in tow, then stops to survey the place with respectfully awed horror[/act] It's like a year's worth of exercise crammed into one room!
Simon: [act]eying the stairs with trepidation[/act] I have to say, sound as the structure looks mechanically, I don't think I -
Firefall: Look! You can't even make out the bloody ceiling!
Simon: Well, that said, I feel that we should perhaps -
Firefall: It's like...good Lud, it's like a fun park meets a gym! This is epic!
Simon: [act]stops trying and settles for looking pained[/act]
[act]The stairs suddenly smooth out, causing a number of people to come sliding down and land in a crumpled heap of bodies beside them. The slide turns back into a collection of stairs[/act]
Simon: [act]now looks alarmed as well as pained[/act]
Firefall: [act]prodding the stairs with a foot[/act] I have to say, I think there are some flaws in the engineering here.
Simon: [act]faintly[/act] You mean because the structure is so faulty that it literally collapses at random moments? [act]crouches over the groaning people and starts checking for pulses[/act] I think I'm going to need my Med kit...
Firefall: No, because the slide system only caters for people who want to go down, not up. Why doesn't it work both ways?
Simon: ...I'm just throwing it out there as a possibility, but perhaps because that's physically impossible?
Firefall: Oh, pshaw, like that makes any difference here. [act]contemplates the trek ahead and sighs[/act] Well, we may as well start up. Unless there's an elevator. Do you see an elevator anywhere? I swear to Lud, if we get to the top and it turns out there's some kind of elevator system going on that we didn't notice...
Simon: But what about these injured people?
Firefall: ...What about them?
Simon: They need help.
Firefall: Oh, they'll be fine in five minutes. It's RPG. See? They're already risking the stairs again.
[act]Simon watches disbelievingly as the fallen climbers shake themselves off and start up the stairs[/act]
Firefall: [act]grabs his arm and follows them[/act] Keep a hold on the banisters. And keep an eye out for an elevator, won't you?

(EDIT: Um, this probably didn't happen - I didn't really want to delete it though...)
Zier: [act]runs over to Firefall and Simon as they start to climb, and then talks to them quietly[/act] I just overheard you - I think I may have found an elevator. Not sure we're meant to use it, but that staircase looks evil - and my guest wouldn't have a hope of climbing it!
Simon: does it look safer than these stairs?
Zier: Well, I'd say pretty much anything would be, but I'm not an expert...
Simon: That doesn't sound particularly reassuring. We really need Kaylee to have a look at it.
Zier: You need Kaylee, huh? [act]raises eyebrows[/act]
Simon: I'm sorry? [act]looks confused[/act]
Firefall: [act]whispers[/act] I've worked out this seems to be pre-Serenity Simon.
Zier: Oh. |:| Never mind. ;D
Simon: If the elevator is off limits, they might send the Alliance after us...
Firefall: [act]humours him[/act] Oh yeah - the Alliance. I guess we'll have to climb the stairs then. ::)
[ligne][/ligne]Apologies to the organisers for inventing an elevator - Moist and I couldn't have gone up otherwise...
Firefall - feel free to let me know if that doesn't work for you. :P Edit: no worries. ;D EDITED, but it still doesn't really work. :-/
Zieria - rats! Just when I'd posted in the Attic about how exhausted I was after the climb! Thanks anyway. ^_^ I'll definitely use it next time, though...
MM: *starts up the steps holding on to a tennis racket with hard hat firmly on head*
Emmett: *chuckles* is this really nessesary?
MM: *nods* we could be under attack at any moment
Emmett: right *is hit by a load of acorns* HEY!
MM: *giggles while batting them away* see??? *runs up the rest of the steps, Emmett close behind*

Evernight: Can I go up? I need a silent walk
Pavo: Yes, if you want ???. But isn't more interesting to go down
Evernight: No
Pavo: Are you sure?
Evernight: Yes, I am sure and I think it is more interesting to go upward.
Pavo: Aaah, come on! Can you at least try to agree with me just once? [strike]Please[/strike]
It's a special request
Evernight: [strike]Sure.[/strike] No.
Pavo: ":(
Evernight: :-X
Pavo: ::)
Evernight: o_O

Ari: OMG! 8-| Its the staircase of doom!!
Dean: o_O The what of what?
Ari: One humongous staircase, to translate roughly :)
Dean: We have to climb that to reach the attic?
Ari: Seems like it.
Dean: [act]not impressed with the idea of climbing all those stairs, but trying to look manly and tough[/act] Piece of cake.
Ari: I think you could safely eat an entire cake and work it all off climbing these stairs :-|
Dean: Well, it was your idea to visit the attic.
Ari: No it wasn’t, you and Sam were the ones who wanted to scope it out!
Dean: Technically Sammy wanted to.
Ari: Then you agreed!
Dean: Yeah, so I could find a bar-
Ari: No alcohol.
Dean: -and check out the other women present ;)
Ari: ::) Trust you to do that. [act]sigh[/act] Come on, let’s start climbing before I decide to trip you half way up.

LSE: Wow!!! That is one ginormous spiral staircase
Seamus: That's nothin' you should see the ones we got at school. At least we can trust this one to stay still
LSE: :-? I'm not so sure of that.
Seamus: Come on you big baby, it'll be just fine.
LSE: But what if I trip? I'll just keep falling and falling and falling... ~:|
Seamus: No you won't. I promise I will catch you before you manage that
LSE: *feels marginally better* Ok, I guess I sort of trust you, but I am partial to that accent, so that could be influency my brain.
Seamus: *laughs* Right, now lets go before all the space in the attic is taken
*they start to climb, LSE holds tightly to the banister*
LSE: Hey, Seamus look at the little squirrel. Isn't he cute?
Seamus: XP Not really, he could be carrying some sort of disease. After all he's just a rat with a bushy tail.
LSE: *let's go of banister and walks toward the little squirrel, cooing*
*Squirrel gives an evil look before pulling a hidden lever*
* The whole bottom section of the staircase turns into a slide, sending them flying back down*
Seamus: *grabs LSE's hand* Hold on *pulls out his wand* Arresto Momentum! *they slow down and gently slide down the remaining stairs
LSE: *stands up with Seamus* Thank you, but are you sure you want to attempt those stairs again? |:(
Seamus: 8-| Um, let me get my heart back into my chest firs', then we'll discuss it
