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! |

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. ]
no subject
We need gunpowder to fire these canons!
[ if only, he could firebend, ]
[ anyway zuko is going to use the skeleton arms like a lever to try to pry open some crates and see if there's crabs inside. "sipp stop using skeleton arms in tags" no. ]
no subject
[ sumi here with all the good assists this thread. hilda lets out an aggravated breath as they finally fell the skell-captain, shaking out her wrist from where she's exerted herself for the first time today. ]
Is there even any left?
[ CAN SHE JUST SHOOT HIM. she'll... just kind of kick his skull towards one of the cannons and let zuko deal with the boxes and any surprise! crabs. ]
no subject
[She will... pick up the Captain's skull when Hilda kicks it, and shove it in her bag so nobody else trips over it. Except, her bag is small so it's kind of poking out? It's fine. Stay there, Jeff.
Anyway, time to poke through the crates? Any gunpowder here? Hewwo?]
no subject
In the crates they open, they find... crabs, crabs, melons, crabs, crabs, snakes?, crabs, crabs, crabs, how many fucking crates are there, crabs, oops Zuko found some surprise skeletons and now has to battle them, and, finally, some fucking ammunition and gunpowder in the last possible crate Yoshizawa checks. So many crabs are running free now. It's actually quite impressive. The snakes are hanging out in their crates.
I'm serious like, three skeletons popped out of a crate and are now shooting at Zuko and Hilda. Yoshizawa has their captain's head and they don't want to kill him, though, so she's safe. ]
no subject
Fang! Can you get these snakes to help?!
[ snisperer zuko is on the case????? also fang was here the whole time and i didn't forget him ]
no subject
his remains are covered in crabs, which goes without saying. ]
Sumire! There's some gunpowder, but—what are we even doing?
[ as established, she doesn't really know how to use this thing...... but surely they'll figure something out? right? ]
no subject
It doesn't seem like she hears Hilda until the gunpowder is brought up, and you know? That is an excellent question!]
I— I don't know. I've never dealt with real gunpowder before.
[But there are pirates right who have, so... Hm. She whips out the captain's head with one hand, and grits her teeth as she pulls out her dagger with the other. Holding the dagger to the captain's skull, she calls out:]
H-Hey! Teach us how to operate the cannons, or your captain gets it!
[She is probably bluffing and hoping they didn't notice Hilda stuffing the body in there, but. Look at all these dead skeletons. You sure you want to test that, buddy?]
no subject
C-Captain Jeff!! Please, don't hurt him!!! He's just in love and misunderstood!!!!
[ the skeleton head, meanwhile, is making grumbling noises like it is about to wake up...
also crabs are here ]
no subject
[ zuko adds belatedly bc i forgot last tag and he was busy fighting skeletons ]
But you'd all better cooperate. You don't want to mess with this girl, she's crazy.
[ he is trying to hype sumi up in the worst way possible??? ]
no subject
Yeah, that's right—she's our captain and she's tougher than yours! She'll crush him to dust under her heel!
[ anyway she's also kind of blocking their skeletal line of sight a little so they don't see what they're up to. how do they even see without eyeballs? whatever. ]
