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!

[Shiro has the fortune of having most of the boat between him and the skeleton's boat, which means that the shots go wide and he'll only get a couple minor nicks. The steering wheel makes an effective shield, as it turns out.

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.

[ she's going to stay under cover while they shoot?! obviously?! are there any weapons on this ship with which to return fire, because ochako is looking for something, anything, that they can fight back with.

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. ]

[WHY ARE YOU ALL JUST STANDING IN HERE...

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--]

[--she stomps herself up to her full height and whips her sword to the door, voice raising angrily as she grips Rabbit closer to her.]

Both of you!! Argue outside before we all die!!!

Get out of the building! Now!!!

[ Out on the water, Hua Cheng is tired of guns. But it's fine, because once they hit the other boat, he doesn't think twice after he sees Ochako straight up take out two of them. Good for her! Good for Hikaru! Shiro did a great job driving. They're all doing great, honestly.

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.

[Go Hikaru! Go Ochako!

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.

[ definitely wasn't expecting that to go so well! but there are presumably still more skeletons on this enemy boat, so she's got no time to rest and recover! ochako's already throwing herself at the nearest skeleton, aiming to disarm it, putting gunhead martial arts to good use! give her its arm or its weapon, she's not being picky and my only goal here is to give her a crutch made of their bones or maybe to die, i'm keeping my options option. ]

[oh that escalated fast.

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.]

[ That's fine, you can have his legs, he has so much of them. Hua Cheng is nothing if not fine with using everything to his advantage where possible. And in this case, he's going to grab the arm of the skeleton he's beheaded and - not even bother with disarming it directly. ]

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.

[It's fine! Honest! Shiro has a sword now, so he can fight back against skeletons more effectively.]

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.]

[ cucked...

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? ]

[WHAT NO HER NPC... She would call out, but there's so much smoke and debris and there are skeletons everywhere but there's TWO OBNOXIOUSLY INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THIS BUILDING

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.]

[ Awkward. Well, A for effort, we suppose!

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.

Let's worry about the skeletons first.

[He says that as the other skeletons make fun of him, which annoys him and it's time to fight more seriously. If only his priest magic worked, fighting skeletons would be so much easier.

He'll launch himself at the skeletons Hua Cheng isn't fighting, trying to knock them off the boat. Remember that skeleton arm he got earlier? He's going to throw it at one of the skeletons too.

[ MY ROLLS

how many skeletons are on this ship anyway, is your girl horribly outnumbered with only two guns to her name? can she steal another gun from the skeleton she just shot? let her shoot the other skeletons loitering around this stolen boat! eat bullets, skelevillains!!

oh or does she have to reload the first gun because she won't know how to do that on a fucking flint lock pistol so if that's the case she'll just WAIT NEVERMIND she's too short for that uhhhhhhh what if she just tackles one and shoots it in the skull with the new gun i don't know she's got good rolls tonight it'll be fine probably ]

[ never fear, alyssa is here! it's amazing how she just conveniently happened to find herself in the midst of this battlezone and knows just what to do to save the day?

haha wouldn't that be wild. in reality, she just got the notif to her phs late and scrambled out to the nearest area that didn't seem to be overly hectic with other people. she's no fighter, but she is a pretty thorough scout and quick to think on her feet, which is how she managed to snag a gun that she's attempting to shoot at one of the fire skeletons attacking hikaru and the npc squad. surprisingly enough, she actually seems pretty competent with the gun, and her stance as she lines up the shot seems to lend further support...

but on top of francia's 6, google decided it hates me especially and gave me a 4 so she. misses the skeleton and ends up shooting karen in the leg instead. oops. this causes her to scream and wave the gun around frantically as she runs toward the group in a panic. ]


Shit—sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry! N-no hard feelings, right?

[ ALYSSA YOU JUST SHOT SOMEONE ]

[Well we found Karen

except now she's got a bullet wound????]


A-ah... Don't apologize!!! Come on, help me get them out of here before the rest of the building falls apart!!!

[QUICKLY TRYING TO CLIMB OVER THE RUBBLE TO KAREN hi karen you look like you've had better days]

[Wow y'all have fun up there. Shiro is taking one look at the boat crew and deciding this is not worth it at all. Life over property.

First, he's calling up to Ochako:
]

Oi! Get back to land, it's safer to fight there!

[Maybe. There's fire, but no risk of drowning.

But then Shiro is diving in the water to go after Hua Cheng and free him from the skeletons. Hopefully he can grab him before the boat tips over on both of them.

Wait, how do you even know what—

[ actually. she stops there because she is Well-Versed in timefuckery. she shakes her head and moves on—namely, to try and clear a path for hikaru and karen, because fuck if she's touching that rude ass ho anyway. ("alyssa you still shot her" yes and)

in doing so, a skeleton lumbers its way over to her, and she once again attempts to fire the gun... only to find out that it's empty. her uno bullet is just chillin in karen's leg now. it's fine? she very nearly fumbles the gun and gets gripped by the skellie, but even as its fingers burn at her skin, quick thinking allows her to just fuckin pistol whip it instead. that was a 16.

shiro save us too ]

[personal profile] heartablaze 2020-10-15 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[She's not gonna even pretend to stop the barkeeper, gesturing for him to just run, please????? Leave this nightmare land of horrible customers and spoopy skeletons on fire... aka probably a Hobby Lobby in Texas somewhere.

Unlike Alyssa who is apparently now allergic to touching rude people, Hikaru's definitely close enough to try to whip off her uniform jacket and try to press it to Karen's wound. Karen is probably yelling at her, but Hikaru is learning how to be a good Customer Service Representative and just ignore your customer's temper tantrum until they can be polite.

Well, until skeletons start to stroll on down to Alyssa, and in the process, back to her.]


Come on, are you kidding me--

[WHY CAN'T SHE BE A NORMAL HEIGHT SO SHE CAN JUST PICK SOMEONE UP AND LEAVE...

Time to shove a skeleton to the ground and kick its head across the room!]
