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! |

A skeleton with a huge hat and a skeleton parrot on its shoulder steps out of a doorway, kicking the corpse of a poor town soldier aside with its skeleton peg leg. It looks badass and yet ridiculous. He aims a pistol and shoots at his own men. They stop goofing off and grab their weapons, falling in line with their captain.
It's... a stand off!!
Meanwhile, in a hate crime, the young man is removing the stupid wig from the commodore's dead head, revealing a full head of surprisingly clean hair. He turns to Hilda, in tears. ]
I always thought he was bald. If I'd known he was secretly handsome, I would have made a move much earlier instead of using him as a sugar daddy. I've been a fool. These pirates will pay for their crime.
[ Hilda is the one who killed him? and yet, the young man gives her a very pretty ring with a large red jewel. where was he keeping that ]
Take this. Where I'm going, I won't need it.
[ the young man wipes his tears and yells as he charges at some random skeletons. Hilda is free of her hate crime. ]
no subject
Well, I warned you guys.
[she shoots! mods if i rolled a dice hoping for it to rebound and kill yona in one strike does this mean it's happening since i rolled high. am i free. can yona yeet into the graveyard. (please say yes.)]
no subject
Ooooh, nice.
[ do your best, yeet squad! ]
no subject
yona just does that! good for her. britt rolled a dice hoping for a rebound and she's cute if she thinks that xl will not jump in front of yona for said rebound, but that aside
okay, so much for the negotiation plan! ] Ruoye, go, grab his leg! [ so ruoye's going to wrap around the peg leg pirate's...peg leg while it's distracted being shot at! maybe if he grabs onto the end of it and pulls he can trip the captain and knock him into someone else?! ] Watch your heads!
no subject
Wait, where's Goneril-san?
[But there's no time to prosecute Hilda for hatecrimes, because it's boss fight time. With XL and Yona focusing on the head honcho, Yoshizawa will brandish her sword and throw herself at the nearest mooks. She aims for their heads, intent on disabling the skeletons to thin out the forces.
Can Yona's arrow rebow and stab her instead? Thanks.]
no subject
Luckily for them, Xie Lian used his magic rope thing or whatever and grabbed the captain, who falls to the ground after his peg leg has been forcibly removed from the picture. ]
How dare ye! Ye'll pay fer embarrassin' me in front o' me crew. Men, charge! Yarr!!
[ Seven more skeletons who were apparently just waiting for this pop up from behind the crates, surrounding the group and running for them. The other two next to the captain hustle over to help him out while the parrot... also talks. ]
Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!
Shut up 'n get me a leg ye useless bird.
[ hilda is free to join them any time ]
no subject
but oh no, did hilda get ambushed by skelepirates? better beat them down just to be safe! she doesn't look too bothered by the reinforcements popping up, because the more of them there are, the more of them she can fight.
and, like, yes, it would be better if the town wasn't under attack, but she's been really frustrated ever since the last trial and this is a great way to vent some of that. so!
she'll swap her arrows back out for the dagger now (since her arrow just bounced off) and go back to beheading the skeletons and stomping on their skulls.]
If you don't want to get embarrassed, don't go attacking towns! Of course people are going to fight back!
no subject
how's it going, team? ]
Jimmy...
[ jimmy... jimmy.......... oh, right. ]
Oh—sorry, Jimmy's dead.
no subject
-- hey wait. ] Jimmy's dead?! How tragic - [ xie lian has no idea that hilda killed him. wow. tragedy.
anyway he's going to go straight after as many skeletons as he can with his martial arts moves, punching their heads off when possible! this is really fun, actually, wow. ] Watch out for the captain, don't let him get back to his feet!
no subject
[She has an arrow sticking out of her arm? It's fine. Well, fine-ish. One of her arms is useless right now, and she's thrown off balance by the fact, but that doesn't stop her from fighting... as ill advised as it may be.]
He's dead?! [Why does she sound so distraught. She knew him for three tags.] What happened? Are you alright, Goneril-san?!
[Switching her sword to her other arm, she basically tries to ram past the skeletons surrounding them, focusing on the patches Yona and XL have attacked and hopefully thinned out. If she's successful, she will run right at one of the skeletons running to help the captain up and swing her sword right at their neck — though less gracefully than before.]
no subject
Do not ask me how. ]
Jimmy... me Jimmy... [ his face twists into pure fury ] That son o' a cur. I was supposed t' scuttle 'im! Years 'n years o' me life, wasted, pinin' o'er that scoundrel while he farrgged every pretty lad that came his way? 'n then he has th' nerve t' die? I'll scuttle everyone in this miserable village! Skeletons! Call th' Kraken!!!!
[ the skeletons are all busy being murdered right now because everyone in this thread is a competent fighter, (or hilda who doesn't care) however, so nothing happens immediately. ]
no subject
The-- the what?
[wtf is a kraken. she doesn't like the sound of that. she glances worriedly from sumi to hilda to the furious captain, and then, figuring xie lian and sumi have the skeletons handled despite the arrow in sumi's arm, she pivots to tackle the captain in an attempt to knock him down before he can call for the kraken again.]
no subject
[ considering she just met his boyfriend, who may or may not be dead now, oops. she fails to mention that she killed jimmy, double oops.
apparently things here are also not going to be great, though she leaves yona to handle the captain. ]
I guess we should go see what this kraken thing is.
no subject
[ xie lian mutters, as he's slamming another skeleton into the ground, and stepping on its head with his pirate crocs. cronch.
anyway! ]
-- Miss Yoshizawa, I'm coming!! [ let's get these last few skeletons taken care of so poor yoshizawa doesn't have to tank on her own!! time to go beat the crap out of the last few and then join the rest on the kraken sighting quest. ]
no subject
Lovers to enemies????
Yoshizawa is. Just. Going to pretend that she didn't hear any of that, even as her face flushes red. Oh, dear. Oh, no.]
Um, the Kraken! [Said while beating the crap out of some poor skeletons. Yona has the captain handled, at least.] It's a large sea monster... I think! We ought to make our way to the cannons next.
no subject
[ Yona then tackles the captain, but unfortunately for her, Britt is busy, so this is one strong and pissed off jilted skeleton, and he wrestles her and bangs her head with the butt of his pistol, knocking her out and writing her out of this thread. Goodbye, Yona. You killed so many skeletons.
Then he whistles with no lips or tongue but still puts his fingers in his mouth like that will help, which summons the kraken in another thread. Should they look outside, the gang will see the Kraken out there attacking ships now probably. Then he turns to Hilda, because she delivered the bad news twice, and when he spots something he roars. ]
That's me family's rin'! I gave it t' Jimmy afore I left 'im fer th' sea which does nah force scallywags into heteronormativity!
[ he is going to fight her now.
Meanwhile, Xie Lian and Yoshizawa manage to beat up the rest of the skeletons, but now the true quest begins! Where the fuck are the cannonballs and the gunpowder in this joint? Maybe in one of those crates????
Help. ]
no subject
Yona! Move!
[ he just fuckin enters the thread out nowhere, heroically rushing in to try to rescue yona -- i need a hero ala shrek 2 plays in the bg - ]
[ - then he slips on a skeleton banana peel, completely overshoots her, and smashes right into poor xl in a... shocking.... twist... wink. ]
[ rest in pepperoni ]
no subject
[ oh no, okay, that's bad. thankfully, zuko's got this!
no, nevermind, zuko does not have this. xie lien is out and yoshizawa has to singlehandedly deal with this kraken this round. meanwhile, hilda likes this ring and also being alive, so she grips both the pistol and the wooden plank she's armed with and tries to weasel her way out of this. somehow. ]
You're right—Jimmy was a cad! A two-timing harlot of a man! You don't have to do this for him. You're better than that! [ she scans him over, trying to find some redeeming features. ] I really like your, uh, parrot.
no subject
no subject
[—ko-san? She means to say. But, oof. There he goes! She winces, cringing away as she witnesses this disaster happen. Unfortunately, the Kraken is happening! So she only spares a moment to make sure Zuko, XL and Yona aren't fucking dead before she looks between Hilda and the crates. Hilda or the crates? Hilda vs the crates.
After a beat she
just
runs over to start shoving the crates until she finds one that she can actually lift
and fucking hurls it at the captain while he's distracted with Hilda.
Can't wait to lose all of our loot.]
no subject
We named the parrot Jack... together.
[ this is important somehow. but just as he is about to fire upon her, Yoshizawa YEETS a crate upon the skeleton, which breaks on him, covering him in the number one export of this place.
Crabs!!!!
HUNDREDS OF ADORABLE LITTLE CRABS SWARM THE AREA. The captain, Zuko, Hilda, Yoshizawa, random skeleton bodies and the prone ones of Yona and XL are being scuttled over and possibly pinched... by crabs.
crabcrabcrabcrab ]
no subject
[ anyway, zuko stares in horror at poor passed out xl right before all crab hell breaks loose. ]
[ zuko does the reasonable thing. (???) he rips off two skeleton arms (probably not from the clapping guy) and picks up xl, trying to get him to high, crab-free ground. he'll look after the girls later. ]
-- Just rename the iguana parrot!
[ this is important, somehow ]
no subject
hilda, who is now covered in tiny pinch-y crabs, needs a nap, and is watching one of her teammates carry another, more unconscious teammate with a pair of skeleton arms is done. ]
Just be quiet already! I've had it with your—
[ she takes jimmy's gun and goes to pistol whip the captain with all her might, which is actually a considerable amount. ]
—RELATIONSHIP DRAMA!!
no subject
Just to be sure the captain doesn't get up to interfere again, Yoshizawa is going to run over, still covered in crabs
and fucking kick his head away from his body. Goodbye, sir.]
Please, move on! It's what Doorington-san would have wanted for you!
[She does not know what Jimmy would have wanted for him.
She only knew Jimmy for three tags.
Is there even enough of the captain left for Taako to marry? Sad. Please let them stuff him into a canon to shoot at the howling rose gang.]
no subject
[ The captain is so distracted by Zuko saying words that he completely misses the call out before Hilda pistol whips him, and immediately passes out, covered in crabs. Then Yoshizawa kicks the skull head away, which is just adding insult to injury at this point.
Now that they're free (except for crabs) to look through everything, they'll find some cannonballs around!
Unfortunately, someone seems to have thrown all the gunpowder overboard into the sea. Perhaps they were trying to stop a future murder and did not know the town would potentially be attacked by pirates, where gunpowder would've been pretty useful. They may have to hope that there is gunpowder in one of the crates and it is not just more crabs. That or they just kill the captain like they did everyone else, their choice. ]
