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! |

(Honestly, Claude deserves to die for making me type this.
Anyway, he laughs at Izumo?? He doesn't mind being bait. He's already doing a pretty solid job at just dodging and getting away. He might not be myrmidon or swordmaster tier or anything but he's fine. Claude is fine. And if he isn't, he deserves to get hit tbh.
When he gets the chance, he quickly readies his bow and fires one arrow at a skeleton's raised arm, hitting it in the elbow. Nice shot? Anyway, he's trying to hit what looks like weak spots so he can just disarm them. he's fast! But it still takes some time and lets be real, a bow isn't ideal for close range fighting so his priority is trying to get a sword or shovel from one of them!! Another one gets close to him and he just kicks it in the shins so it falls and steps on an arm, reaching down very swiftly and casually to pick up their sword. He's ready to go!!!)
Right, right, just stop them from digging whatever they're doing. Unless it's their graves then by all means, let them go at it.
(Please, kill me)
no subject
[that's to jeanne-- he never was going to be bait, let's be real. izumo just gets a roll of his eyes in response to her comment, and emet-selch lines up a shot at one of the approaching skellies.
the good news for him is that the skeletons getting closer offsets his weak point of being unused to what is enough strength to put behind a given shot, so he's able to get one in the larger target of their head-- not dead center, but he's apparently got very good aim from this distance-- but then they're closing in more, forcing him to fall back. he's still not here to melee them, thanks.
and to claude:]
If you would like to re-bury them, then by all means-- after they are put down.
no subject
Meanwhile, Izumo manages to get a hit! Outraged, the skeleton picks up a very large rock (how can it lift it when it has no muscles) and throws it at her.
Jeanne will see that they are digging up a... chest! Wow! They are very occupied with this, and don't seem to notice her approaching them.
Claude and Emet-Selch are both very rude. The skeleton wants its sword back? It lunges at Claude, trying to grab the sword. A few other skeletons are now trying to figure out how to advance on rat grandpa. One has an arrow stuck in its eye socket now. It's walking in the wrong direction, because now it cannot see. ): ]
no subject
pretty much sums it in terms of commentary since emet-selch's eye roll will be met with another eye roll. it's fine. he's doing something so she's not gonna say anything else, and claude is shooting arrows into the skellies so that's cool too. what's kind of not cool is how there's a large rock being thrown at her?
wow? well, she's gonna jump (dodge roll) out of the way of that (hopefully) and then come back and give it a good smack for good measure. rip skellie that seems to be walking in the wrong direction though. she'll leave that poor sack of bones to figure things out. ]
no subject
anyway!!
Jeanne.... actually.... laughs(?) at Claude's puns. Does she truly find them funny or is she just being nice? :thinking: ]
Prepare yourselves!
[ That's all the warning the skeletons get before in a move that is going to be very bad for her injuries, Jeanne shifts her grip on her standard and swings at all the skeletons digging like they're baseballs on top of a tee and she's trying to hit a home run.
Not their skulls. Their whole entire skeletons. ]
no subject
anyway, while the skeletons try to figure out how to advance on him, he lines up another shot on a different one-- depending on how far they are, though, it might graze the next skeleton or fall just short. the aim is good but he is still acclimating to standard bows... mostly, though, he's keeping an eye on them to be ready if they try to move in, seeing if they're dissuaded at all from it or if he's about to have to deal with this.]
no subject
He sees some of the skeletons? Gossiping and takes aim with his bow and
Fwip (one arrow), fwip (two arrow)
He's aiming right for their skulls. Stop talking, please.)
no subject
Izumo smacks some! One of the skeletons gasps, and goes to slap Izumo with its... very hard, skeletal hand. ]
That was my boyfriend, you [ uhhhhh what is an era appropriate word for bitch fuuuoH ] wench!
[ Jeanne succeeds in being super badass and smacking the skeletons. She is so cool? The bad news is that they go flying right towards Emet-Selch and Claude, while they are being cool with arrows. Whoops. ]
no subject
[ and, i guess, cue izumo slapping the skellie back with her hand instead of her shovel because this is the path that you've lead us down. should she be concerned about how it's talking? no. she deals with demons all day every day in her normal life.
talking skellies are just....fine. ]
He tried to hit me first—!
no subject
I apologize! And use your shovel, Izumo!
[ Don't be daft.
It's all sincere even if that's all they get because Jeanne is going to focus on the
treasure chest?
Is it dug up enough for her to get to or will she need to dig more? If the first, she will try to open it. If the latter, hopefully there is a discarded shovel from one of the skeletons she smashed, so she can use it. ]
no subject
[but listen, a bitch is not too proud to duck. I don't know how high or far they are but if they could feasibly go over he is just going to duck and let that happen... otherwise he is getting the fuck out of the way. he's not a target for skeletal bowling, what the fuck!]
no subject
But the skeleton just slaps Izumo back, offended. ]
You probably deserved it!
[ And also, Jeanne will have to dig some more. It's fine, because the skeletons are now approaching Emet-Selch again after seeing his cool ass dodging skills. Impressive, but they must avenge their brother. ]
no subject
and i guess izumo's in a slap fight with a skellie. who brings a shovel to a slap fight? izumo has more manners(?) than to do that. either way, she's lost to the world and is now just gonna duke it out 1v1 with this skellie. ]
Oh, please! It's not like we set everything on fire and started attacking everything!
[ she slaps them back, you know, if that wasn't clear. ]
no subject
[ Unfortunately, Jeanne has no time for these shenanigans when the port, etc., is on fire, there are krakens being summoned in the distance, kidnappings are happening everywhere, there's a lovers to enemies soap opera in the background somewhere, and the two people she trusted to be capable were
questionably so.
Her nerfed Ruler senses are crying, and she completely ignores Emet-Selch's protests.
Jeanne continues to dig with a shovel! Where did she put her flag? It's with her somehow. How? Don't worry about it. ]
no subject
anyway, since this is a swamp, he's looking instead for things like other holes they may have dug, places where the ground looks extra swampy, that sort of thing-- if there's anywhere he can use the environment against them, he's going to lead them that way, taking another shot or two at them along the way. come along lil skellies...]
no subject
[ Izumo is just having a cat fight with this skeleton, I suppose. This is happening.
But Jeanne will be able to dig out the chest more fully. It's a good thing that Emet has the skeletons occupied, because they'd be pretty pissed if they weren't following him? Luckily, this is a swamp, and he is leading them straight to... quicksand. Quicksandwater? I don't know geography, but this is my location, and there's quicksand swamp land here and Emet is leading them to there.
The chest, meanwhile, is vibing. ]
no subject
I know that, but I'm curious to know why it started the fires in the first place.
[ she'll cross her arms over her chest, with the shove firmly in one of her hands. ]
And what is so interesting that they were digging up. So? Wanna clue us in on why all the chaos?
[ everyone has a story worth telling or something, right? she'll give them a little bit before deciding if she needs to encourage more whacks or not. ]
no subject
She trusts him to be effective, though, so she continues to pay a little attention to this slap fight that is tiring her. ]
You would be more effective questioning with a shovel.
[ Jeanne keeps dropping hints that aren't picked up.
Anyway, can she open this vibing chest? Is she vibing enough to open it as it vibes. ]
no subject
Really, you can't move any faster than this?
[in the most bored possible tone. come get his smug ass. run right over the ground. do it nerds.]
no subject
[ Jeanne can open a chest, as a treat... inside, there are a lot of gold coins. Probably cursed? Who even knows anymore.
Meanwhile, the skeletons chase after Emet after being taunted... they are not genre savvy. They immediately start sinking, but since they have removable limbs, they start to throw them at him. ]
no subject
Thank you for your cooperation.
[ now izumo will uncross her arms and hold the shovel in her hands like a baseball bat and swing it as hard as possible against the skeleton's head with every intention of knocking it clear off of its shoulders. sometimes it helps to bait things out a bit.
...maaaaybe she should have waited a moment later but maybe she can just hold onto the head if she manages to knock it off as a talking companion?? should izumo be afraid of these things? eh. again, she used to deal with stuff like this. probably. ]
no subject
[ Look, now that the chest is free, she can be somewhat of a cheerleader for someone who doesn't need it.
And, uh, hm, at that explanation, Jeanne shuts the chest. Firmly. ]
If Rufus finds this, he won't hesitate to become a skeleton.
[ She's just going to try to lift this wholeass chest.
What about her injuries? Shhh surely they haven't reopened and aren't reopening or anything like that. It's fine? ]
no subject
I hardly need your--
[a skeleton arm thwaps him in the side of the head.
he pauses, holding still for a moment, before he picks it up and flings it back at the skeleton who threw it, then starts making his way back over to where the chest is.]
Allow me to rephrase: I do not need your distractions, either.
no subject
The other skeleton is now chasing after its thrown arm? Rude.
The chest is heavy! Jeanne can pick it up but also, it might be nice to have help, maybe. Please help her, she's so injured. ]
no subject
attaches head to her skirt like it's appropriate accessory for this day and age. ...which it might be. does it still talk? that might be something if it does. either way, she'll still have the shovel held in one of her hands as she runs over towards jeanne and the chest. ]
I'm sure you heard that. [ izumo weighs like like hardly anything but she's going to help pull the chest out as well?? because??? ???? ] If it's just coins in here, we'll have no need for it.
[ give her a moment to get distracted at how the skeletons are just popping of their arms and throwing it now. .... huh. ]
We should be looking for whatever treasure that's powering the skeletons.
