WEEK TWO: MINGLE
WEEK TWO: MINGLE (37 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's the start of a new week. To the participants, yesterday's events may seem distant now—albeit not as distant as their life before this. Whether or not they notice, they will have lost a memory upon waking up. The barrier to the north is down, and beyond the bridge lies new areas to explore. Strangely, what was there last week seems to have been replaced overnight. That's not the only thing that's different, either. The participants will find that their lodgings have changed, and new buildings within the town have been unlocked. Finally, should anyone check their PHS, Cater, Sharon, and Kano's profiles have been removed. Three Leaders can be found around the area, open (?) to approach. If participants want to speak to them more privately, or to an absent Leader, it looks like they'll have to go through another channel. Furthermore, it looks as though the rules have updated. If you break the current ninth rule, participants will get shocked. It will be a mild shock at first, but the longer they touch each other, the stronger it will get. On that note, if your character did not share a memory last week, please make sure to check your notifs! Participants may also find that their memories of the past few weeks are getting fuzzier... as though they can't recall some of the details without focusing. Finally, this week, every time a participant gets within one foot of someone, they will experience the emotions the other person is currently feeling and vice-versa. This will last for ten seconds even after they've stepped out of their personal bubble, after which the sharing itself might share, but the knowledge will not. Have fun! |

Shidou-san! Check the buildings - maybe there's somewhere in one of the houses, further away from the street!
[ get the npc out of the immediately line of first... but they'll just have to trust hikaru. after cautiously peeking around the corner to get sights on the wayward boat, she looks over at hc. ]
We'll have a better chance at getting to it if we borrow one of the small, faster boats. I'm not as mobile [ her leg :( ] but if we can get out there, I could probably steer, and I can disarm them if they get too close.
no subject
If there is even a single mark on that boat--
[ Rude.
But the skeletons are now shooting at the bigger target. Thanks Hua Cheng! Meanwhile, there sure are other boats there. Waiting to be also stolen. ]
no subject
Miss, we're gonna bring it back first, okay? If they get away with it at all, then it doesn't matter what shape it's in, you still won't have a boat!
You gotta trust that we'll do our best no matter what happens, okay?
no subject
With you being hurt still, I can very well take their attention and let you get around to one of the smaller boats. A little extra time, perhaps, to get it ready.
[ - hm, what's that sound? ]
no subject
Which is to say, by the time HC and Ochako are getting to the other boats, one of them is already starting to move. And who is at the helm? Probably the wrong person, because he knows jack all about sailing a boat! But an attempt is being made, and he's going to act like he knows what he's doing. It's just like driving a car, right?]
Hey there! Need a lift?
[He is. Not slowing the boat down so they can get in. They better jump on.]
no subject
[ she's only waiting long enough to give hua cheng an unsure glance before launching herself from the pier at shiro's boat. hopefully she lands on it? but even if she does, it's probably on her bad leg and she goes crashing down into a heap. very heroic. ]
We need to get that boat back!
no subject
It's the pub owner! That asshole!
[ She charges forward to where the man is, who is currently in a burning building. She runs into it. Hikaru's job is never done.
Meanwhile, at the boats. The skeletons point and laugh at Ochako falling, like assholes. They then start to move the boat very quickly in the direction of Shiro's--looks like they're trying to ram them??
Also, they're still shooting. ]
no subject
good news: hikaru and fire go very well together! she is not scared whatsoever!
bad news: wow our abilites are nerfed! oopsie doodles!!! (: (:
There is no second thought unfortunately - she is charging right in after the woman, shoving her uniform jacket up against her nose and mouth with her free hand. Where the FUCK did you go, Karen, this is not how you get your complimentary McFlurry--]
no subject
Heroes.
Also disregarding the fact that our abilities are nerfed, here he comes, running after Ochako and into the skeletons' gunfire. He probably gets hit or nicked on the way to yeeting himself onto the boat Shiro has commandeered? (Me, rolling my actual dnd dice to see if he gets hit and getting a 12: you have failed me.) It's fine, he's had worse. ]
no subject
But it does not make for an effective window, so. Well.
Time to play bumper boats? He doesn't realize how close the skeleton boat is until they're practically on top of each other.]
no subject
but also
if the boats are close enough
she's going to get up on the edge of shiro's boat and try to board the skeletons' boat? by like. tackling one of the skeletons themselves. please tell me they shoot her before she can and set me free. ]
no subject
Meanwhile, on the boats, they are definitely bumper boating right now. A few of the skeletons jump on though, and immediately charge at Hua Cheng and Shiro, both with guns and swords.
Karen is going to be so pissed when she sees this later when she sees this damage. I just rolled and Ochako got a 19, so she does not get shot. In fact, she somehow manages to knock two skeletons overboard. Wow! ]
1/2
Karen and Pub Owner are not the ones in immediate distress so she's heading to Rabbit first, lowering her sword only so she can take Rabbit's hand in one of her own while reaching up to brush at their face with her other palm.]
It's okay, Rabbit-san, it's okay -- I'm gonna get you out of here. Stay with me.
[Keeping one hand against Rabbit, she straightens up, looking in Karen and Whatever-His-Name-Is's direction--]
2/2
Both of you!! Argue outside before we all die!!!
Get out of the building! Now!!!
no subject
He doesn't hesitate to go for the closest skeleton holding a sword, aiming to take the head off with a swift strike to yeet at a neighboring skeleton. He has probably fought skeletons before. This is, again, just another Wednesday. ]
no subject
With skeletons on the ship, Shiro isn't going to be able to board the other ship yet. He has to help Hua Cheng first. And that means squaring off against skeletons and tossing them around the ship, since he doesn't currently have a weapon to fight them with yet.
Can he steal a sword from a skeleton? Or even steal an arm holding a sword. He would like to have one right about now.]
no subject
no subject
[ Karen doesn't get to finish the sentence, because the roof collapses--and done come some skeletons with it! They are on FIRE, because they're already animated skeletons, of course they will be chill with fire. Rabbit yells uselessly. You have powers, you fool.
Hua Cheng manages to take down a skeleton. But then... remember the ones who fell overboard? You fools, they are also waterproof, didn't you see that cool scene in the first PotC film? The one we totally aren't ripping off right now? Anyway, they grab onto his legs in an attempt to pull him overboard.
Shiro... can steal an arm, that is also holding a sword. But more skeletons are boarding, so he better think fast.
I am vetoing death for Ochako because Ray wants it too much. They try to fight her off, but she is much shorter than them as I just decided, so she can dodge their swipes. Ochako can have a gun. ]
no subject
Roof comes down, Karen and Whoever He Is go in one direction while Hikaru pulls Rabbit in the other, pushing her down until the debris clears a little more and coughing for breath.]
R-rabbit-san! Stay behind me, we're gonna head for the door!
[rip the other NPCs, but she needs to prioritize here before doing Extra Stupid Stuff. She'll try to lead Rabbit back through the debris towards the door, pausing only when a fire skeleton gets too close to grip at her sword, pushing her weight from below to jump up and slash the thing clean in two.
I rolled an 11 if that matters so sweats.]
no subject
Shall we, then?
[ Thanks for your help!
His footing might be a little unsteady, and he might be at risk for being dragged overboard, but he kicks one leg at a soggy skeleton as he brings the sword of the other skeleton around - skeleton attached, for maximum yeet! Whether sword or skeleton inflict friendly fire on a neighboring pirate, whatever, let's dance.
He will take out as many of these fuckers as possible before casa de snisi finish watching POTC, where the underwater scene is currently happening. ]
no subject
Oi, think fast!
[Maybe using the sword to try and hit one of the boarding skeletons towards Hua Cheng isn't a good idea though.]
no subject
well, fine. guess she's got two whole guns now. why do you keep giving a fifteen year old guns. you're all lucky that someone taught her how to hold them properly or she'd probably be shooting fafa in the leg right about now, but there will be no hate crimes at the port today, unlike certain other locations i could name.
can she shoot a skeleton in the skull? will my luck finally run out? ]
no subject
Meanwhile, Hua Cheng is fighting off these skeletons! But more keep trying to grab at him to try to drag him into the water. They are very determined. Especially the skeleton that Shiro just smacked over to Hua Cheng? It's knocking into him. That's awkward.
Some other skeletons watch this, and then look at Shiro. ]
Awkward...
[ Yeah, that's what the metatext said.
Anyway, I rolled again and got a 17, so Ochako shoots the skeleton in the skull. Sweetie your rolls. ]
no subject
The awkward skeleton will get swiped at again to finish the job before she takes a running slash at another. She is getting singed to kingdom come at this point and it hurts, but she doesn't care.]
Out of my way!!! I'm not gonna let you hurt them!
[And she is going to attempt to lop one of their flaming skulls off like a homerun.]
no subject
It's - again, it's fine. Nerfed as he might be, he's also not the Ghost King for nothing? And once enough skeletons have grabbed onto him, Hua Cheng is honestly tired of their shenanigans. Ochako and Shiro can certainly handle the rest if he can just - occupy them? ]
At this point - let the damn boat sink - [ YEET - he throws the skeleton he was using to sweep the others away, as far as he can possibly judo fling the thing. Someone please go check on Hikaru while he grabs the skeletons back and.
So long, he's going to let the ones in the water drag him down, pulling whatever bones with him. ]
