She smiles at him. "You should really be careful about saying that though." she looked towards the light then back at him. "Because it means that you might end up having bad luck soon."

(Where are Yoshiken and ENinja? Did they lose interest? Hopefully they'll be back after New Years...)
"Well while Erlosung patches up Firago...I'm going to go ahead and see who's there," said the cowboy as he started walking down the path. He came across a goomba miner who managed to extract some iron ore. "Rook? Is that you? You've gotten big...you got big real fast too. What are you doing here in the mine?" he said to the cowboy.
Cowboy: "Goomner? You're alive? I thought you were-"
Goomner: "Of course I'm alive! At least I think I am. I'm breathing and kickin ain't I?"
Cowboy: "I thought you were petrified."
Goomner: "Quit acting all weird kid. You don't have a hard hat to begin with and kids shouldn't be playing around in the mine. Now git out before some huge rock hits your head."

Maya went over to the cowboy and his friend. "I take it that the two of you know each other then?" then she blinked as she looked down at the Goomba. "Your name is Rook?" she asked the cowboy.

"Yeah...just call me Rookie. That's because...well I wasn't an impressive gunslinger as a preteen." said Rookie. "That earned me the nickname of Rookie. Although I'm not really a Rookie now heh." He smiled and twirled his revolver on his trigger finger.
"Are you done yet?" asked Firago to Erlosung. "I'm going to patch myself up if you don't hurry. I'm losing my patience."
Rookie approached Erlosung. "Let's get out of here. I mined everyday for a living and I don't like being in a mine when I don't have to."

"Unless you don't want some of your nerves to be function and feel a sort of permanent numbness... alongside with some sharp pains every step you make... you best be quiet..."
After a while Erlosung finally finished after taking out some small shards found in the foot, giving the foot a minor touch of electrical therapy to get the foot a little jumpstart, and finally patching it. Erlosung then simply stood up and look at Rookie.
"Alright then... I wonder how the others are..."

"I'm sure that they are in here somewhere." Maya said. "After all, they couldn't have really gone that far in a cave."

(Hope everyone had a good New Years. Don't worry I won't let this RP die off. Even if the number of participating members drops down to 0-1 I'll still continue it.)
"Wait...let's wait for the others first before we leave the mine." said Firago
"Hey mister rex you mind explaining what the heck happened in that lab?" said Rookie.
Firago looked around, he either couldn't see the rest of the group or he simply didn't know where they were. "Well fine...I'll explain....maybe the rest of the mission group will turn up while I explain." Firago nodded to Erlosung signalling his thanks. The dragon-yoshi crossed creature cleared his throat and explained:
"We are all aware of the petrifying virus thus far and its effects. Well the rumors were spreading around stating that there was a suspicious group lurking around Old Town. It was found that they were a group of scientists and researchers and I was sent by the Defense Effort on a mission as a double agent under the guise of a new researcher but the group sent me off to a lab located in the marshlands. That first scientist toad we encountered in that lab...I was assigned by the researchers to work with that guy. My mission was a hasty one though...my CO wanted me to return once I find any signs of the group working with the virus.
That toad showed me that new stronger viruses were appearing and all he would tell me is how amazing it is how development of the virus had progressed. This led me to thinking the group was making stronger petrification viruses. I managed to break away from the researchers and return to base. Then I was given the mission we are in right now along with the rest of you.
We got into the mines at Old Town and discovered the secret lab. When the rest of you either went into the break room and one of the labs I went into a different lab and found a lone scientist. I attempted to capture him for answers but he injected himself with something...Next thing I knew I was captured instead. I didn't know where you guys were but I was strapped to an operating table where I hope they didn't perform experiments on me when I was knocked out...They recognized me as the double-crossing researcher thanks to that toad you tried to interrogate...Suddenly the scientist I tried to capture before I got knocked out gave out a weird speech about how this lab will fail to create the cure for the virus. This made me realize...we really screwed up...this 'suspicious group' we were supposed to stop for this mission turned out to be a group creating the cure to the virus...Then the scientist giving the weird speech began to mutate into a monster...I heard screams and someone said 'it's a follower!'
The guy who turned into the monster attempted to kill everyone but I think a few escaped. We also escaped...but that glass I stepped in...I think it held a chemical in it...I wonder what it was...I just hope it isn't the same stuff that turned that guy into that monster...
Does anyone have any questions so far? I wonder if I lost anybody as I explained...."

"No, you basically said that you want to find out the cause of the virus and then eliminate it and try to find a cure to save all the people who were petrified by the outbreak and figure out who caused the virus." Maya said. "Now that that is settled, can we please get out of this cave?" Maya turned to Rook. "Your parents actually named you Rook?"

"No it's my nickname." Rookie said to Maya. "Yeah let's get the heck out of here now I think the rest of the group went outside by now."
Firago gets up and starts limping to keep up with the group as they walked out of the of the mine. Their surroundings looked strikingly similar to the mine entrance they entered when they discovered the acid pool except there was no acid pool now.
The skies outside the mine were crystal clear. The atmosphere was blue, the clouds were white, the air smelled fresh and clean. There was actual plant life peppered everywhere; trees, grass, flowers.
The group members who were around before the the apocalypse would remember how everything was peaceful like this while the younger members would be shocked at the new atmosphere.
"All I have to ask is...what the hell happened?" said Rookie.

"Its like everything is so beautiful and normal here. Like nothing bad at all had happened here. Its really very beautiful out here. Like that there is nothing out here that can hurt us. No bad luck out here eh guys?" she said at the same time a moose sat down on the cowboy and farted on him.

Erlosung looked at the outside world.
"Life... Just like before that incident... If I read the blueprints correctly... they were constructing some advanced machine... perhaps... a time portal.
If what I am thinking is correct, we may have been teleported to the past.. and that guy might be alive yet again. This can be very troublesome...
Or we could be in some completely different world. The blueprints were bloodied after all..."

"Wait, so you think that we have teleported straight into the past?" Maya asked, Oblivious to Rookie's stinky plight. "If that is true, is it possible we might me up with ourselves here?" Meanwhile the moose was still farting on Rookie.

"WHAT IN TARNATION!!?" Rookie angrily shoved the moose off. "Git yer ass off of me!" he pointed his revolver at the moose's head ready to shoot it off.
Firago just ignored what was going on with Rookie and the moose. "Could it be? Maybe we are in the past. Maybe this is what they mean't about this being the solution to preventing the virus!" Firago inhaled the fresh crisp air...but got a whiff of the moose's waft and gagged. "Bleh! *cough* ...Now I'm questioning if this is a different world or not...who ever heard of a moose coming out of nowhere and breaking wind on a stranger?"
Firago stepped a distance away from the moose and looked around, he saw that Old Town was populated and living again. "Perhaps we should find a secure place to discuss what exactly we should do from this point on. I'd suggest you all start thinking of ways of preventing the epidemic from ever happening in the first place."

"Well, we could just go to the point where the virus originated and started to infect people and stop it from coming in contact with everybody." Maya said. "Other then that, I don't really have anything." she said. She then moved away from Rookie.

Since he wasn't restrained from doing so, Rookie shot the moose in the head instantly killing it. Blood splattered all over the group members nearby. "Now someone help me push this moose off of me!" he angrily demanded while being suffocated by the now dead moose. He struggled to push the 500 pound animal off of him.
Firago still ignored Rookie and started walking down the hill. "Hey remember I saved yer life in that cave you stupid lizard!" Rookie shouted at Firago. Firago grunted and returned to Rookie while holding his breath. The injured rex attempts to push the corpse off.
With little progress the barely conscious cowboy glared at the rex. "Yer...weak..." he said before passing out.

Maya grabbed the moose and tugged it away then sent it down a hill with a thud. "Well then this was uneventful, and stinky."

(Sorry about the sudden hiatus.)
Firago glared at the unconscious Rookie. "..." Firago closed his eyes and clenched his hands. A blue light emanated from his hands and he placed them out in front toward Rookie. He conjured up a ball of water the size of a basketball over him and let it splash down in an attempt to awaken him and somewhat wash the smell off.
"AHH!" Rookie woke up shouting. "What happened??" He looks around. The stench that stuck to him was still lingering. "Oh...I remember." He immediately tore off his jacket and hat and gagged. "I need to wash...100 times! I can't believe what happened!"
Firago half-closed his eyes at him. "You're welcome...now that is over and done...let's get moving." Firago slowly walks into Old Town. "If you think you will need some supplies...you might want to check the stores here. I'll meet you all behind the general store where we will discuss what to do next. If you happen to find your past self...don't interact with them. We don't know what will happen to the fabric of time, space, and history if your past selves saw their future selves."
The town was a medium size one. Buildings that were previously seen destroyed and broken down were now perfectly fine as if nothing had happened yet. The building that the group camped in before encountering the secret lab was now a saloon. A few people who were previously seen petrified were now breathing and kicking. A general store, a weapons store, a bank, a tailor, the sheriff's office, and several more are located here.
Rookie immediately ran toward a water pump and started spraying himself with water much to the town folks' disgust.

"I don't care! It's better than stayin insanely dirty!" Rookie said as he finished washing himself off. "I don't think I want to keep using that jacket...I don't have any money. What should I do?"
While Firago waited behind the general store three figures: a toad and two yoshies approached him. The toad said "Yeah that's him alright. Get him." One of the yoshies captured the injured rex and held a knife to his neck. "I overheard you brought friends...let's all wait for them shall we?..."
