Diane is vlogging, about her life, which is really boring.As you're vlogging in your small appartement, you can faintly hear someone on the other end of the hallway knocking on a door and saying something. Thinking nothing of it, you continue detailing the boring trivialities of your life to any person bored enough to come to your vlog. After about 5 minutes, they knock on your door. You go to open it, keeping the safety chain in place so the door can only open about an inch or so.
Bob went outside house to 24h market to get his beloved gum, while chewing his last one.Bob is currently in a rather large convience store that is connected to a gas station, staring at a diplay rack. There are at least 50 different kinds of gum here, so it takes him a bit to find his favourite brand. As he picks up a large value pack and goes to the register, a man with in a hoodie and a bandana in front of his face storms into the store and fires a bullet into the air. He sort of flinches when bits of ceiling plaster fall on him, but quickly points his pistol at Bob, the cashier and another man who was buying a jar of pickles.
Rob is busy counting the lunch money he got from people. He also contemplates what insults to use against the nerds. Well, new insults, that is.Robert is currently sitting on a small bench on the side of the road, counting the lunch money he "borrowed" from a bunch of pansy high school punks. It doesn't total up to an incredible amount, it is still lunch money, but it's still some nice pocket money. He's pulled from his brainstorming of new insults when he hears a loud sound from behind him. Looking over the back of the bench he sees two men in very fancy suits, monocles and top hats and walking canes included, beating up a rather dishivvel looking guy on the ground.
Sitting in a lawn chair in front of his building laughing at people that walk byThis Bob has had a rather good day sitting in front of his building in his battered old lawnchair laughing at people. He even made some cry just by pointing at him and laughing, good times. Now he can't help but laugh at these two weirdos walking down the opposite sidewalk wearing bright red and bright green spandex and sneakers. They seem to be following this woman and harassing her.
I am currently cleaning up a bank downtown, and talking with the security guard.You're mopping the entrance to the megacity 15 central bank and talking to Robert, the guard on duty this night.
Bob look like scaredy-cat laying down as fast as he could, still holding that large value of gum, after all Bob knew, gun versus fists are nothing until he gets positional advantage.Thinking fast, you and the other guy in the store drop to the ground. The robber walks past you and stops about 3 meters away, facing away from you and the other guy and looking at the casheir. The cashier holds his hands up, looking rather scared as well. The robber moves over to the register, putting the gun in the cashier's face.
Bob too insults the weirdos from across the street, not moving from his chair...The two guys look over to you as you shout and start walking over to you. The sight of two spandexed dudes trying to look intimidating is too much, and you laugh even harder. As they come closer, one of them starts shouting at you. Even though he's clearly not asian, what with the milky white skin and ginger hair, he speaks with a fake asian accent.
"YOU GUYS LOOK RIDICULOUS! CHRISTMAS IS OVER ASSHOLES!"
Dana starts backing away from this person, and tries to find something to defend herself with.You try to slam the door closed, but he puts his hand on the door and stops you from closing it completely. He keeps smiling troughout the entire ordeal.
"Uhhhh.... ohmygodohmygodohmygod this crazy man is like part of a cult!"
"Well, sonny, I don't know much, but I know that you haven't planned this out very well. You need two keycards to get into the vault, and there's a five minute time lock. Also, you're forgetting security, such as my friend Rob, and, of course, me."You pick up you mop and bucket and sort of slowly walk your way closer to the guy as you speak.
As I speak, I walk towards them. Right before I finish the last sentence, I attack with my mop.
Robert hurls a FEARSOME INSULT at the GENTLEMANLY FOES.The two men stop beating the vagrant and turn to look over to you. They give the guy a final smack and then start walking over to you, trying to look all dignified and adding some swagger to their step with their canes.
"Ha, what a couple of dorks! What do you think this is, the 19th century!?"
"Get away from me!"[4] You spray your mace toward the opening, hitting the guy roughly in the face. He immediatly starts screaming and falls to the floor. You vaguely remember the sleazy salesman who sold you this saying something about bears.
Spray him with mace.
"You morons put scratches in my floor with those wheels, and now you got blood on my floor!"[5] She starts to say something in reply, but you've got the speed and the reach to react first. Wielding your trusty lop like a spear, you hook it behind her leg and jerk back. Though roller skates provide excellent speed, they don't have all that good grip on the floor. The girl falls straight on her ass and you quickly finish it off by giving her an overhead swing to the nogging. The guy is still on the floor, bleeding from his face, while the girl is out cold.
Attack the girl as I talk. Use my reach to my advantage.
That is the moment Bob though and blows Gum bubble.[4] You quickly stand up and throw the gum to the robber's face. The robber, one hand in his pants and caught off guard, gets it in his eye.
As robbery turns around, Bob throws gum in foes face, so robbery should react like closing his eyes with his hand. Obviously it would be hand with gun cuz his another hand is stuck in pants, Bob though.
As Bob threw gum he rushes into conflict.
Bob too stands up , grabs his chair, and hits one of the thugs with itOne of the guys comes closer while doing rather fake looking kung-fu moves.
"MY CHAIR IS MUCH STRONGER THAN YOUR LAME KUNG FU!"
Find another weapon, in case the woman attacks.I'm not a professional macer, but I think it works just as well on women as it does on men...
Knock the guy out, and clean up the blood.You heave your mop overhead and bring the handle down on the guys head. hard. Both of them are now unconscious on the floor. You rinse your mop in your bucket of water and get working on cleaning up the blood. You're just about done when the guard storms out of the door, panting and pistol in hand.
Jump up and push the staggering guy over. Try to pin him to the ground with the chair while kicking at the other guy to keep him away.[4] You jump up and push the staggering guy to the ground. You quickly smack him in the face with the chair. [4] vs [2] You then deliver a quick spinning kick to the other guy who thought he was real ninja sneaking up on you, right in his stomach. The sneaky guy topples over, groaning in pain. The staggering one tries to get up again, but you throw the chair against his face. Victoly is youls.
"BET YOU CAN'T DO THAT AGAIN!"
(lol it looks like my rolls are too good :D Lol i like how other Bob wrecks kung-fu )Bob, taking a decidedly unconventionel approach to getting the mugger to shut up, takes the gun and points it between his eyes. The robbers face goes white and all he says is a very quiet "My gang is going to be so pissed" before he shuts up completely. The police arrive some 15 minutes later and take the guy away, but also the gun.
Bob takes gun and calms Thug:
1 more word and police wont be able to recognize you, pop.
Start wedgying the guy while he's rolling up his sleeves.The gentleman wannabe hands his coat to his partner and starts rolling up his sleeves.
Find another weapon, in case the woman attacks.You slam the door shut before the woman gets to do anything. Standing with your back against the door for a moment, panting, you quickly go over what other weapons you've got lying around to go with the bear mace.
*victory tune*Content with your victory, you fold up your chair and head back inside. You step over one of the prone men and into the appartement building. Once you get to your place, you put your folding chair with the other folding chair you keep in the closet, and crash down on your comfortable sofa.
Fold up my lawn chair and carry it back into my apartment. I'd say it's been a good day overall.
"Why should I get leave? I didn't even do anything.""I'd say beating up these two dudes isn't nothing. But hey, you can do whatever you please, almighty janitor. I think you might even get a payraise for this."
Mop up the rest of the blood.
Bob thanks Cashier and moves straight to his home. Bob knew he will need some extra power very soon so he decided to get home and get his weapon ready. Baseball bat wont make much, so he decided to get gun after night faintsYou make your way home, putting your two boxes of chewing gum in the kitchen. You grab your trusty basebal bat, but decide that it probably won't be enough. You put the baseball bat in a duffel bag and grab some money.
Grab the rolling pin, and put the Chinese knife in my pocket, then unlock the door, and prepare to attack the woman.There is no kill like overkill. You're pretty sure somebody important once said that. You grab the rolling pin and try to put the knife in your pocket. It's too big to put in your pants pocket, but you manage to slide it into the pocket of your hoodie.
Kick the gentleman I'm fighting in the balls.[5] vs [3] The gentleman goes in for another punch, but you manage to twist away enough that it lands on your shoulder instead of square in your face. The guy reels for another and you seize the oppertunity. [6->6] Before he good and well knows it, you've twisted around like some demented Bruce Lee on speed and kick him right in the nuts. He goes flying ass first for about 3 meters until he lands with a hard smack on the pavement. He curls up into a ball and just quietly cries and whimpers. Your spin was rather too violent though, and you spin out of control and fall to the pavement as well. You manage to fall just right and don't really hurt yourself.
((Are our characters going to form a group at some point or are we mostly doing our own thing?))((I wanted to put you all in seperate situations in the beginning, to get a feel of how the lot of you would react. From now on though, it's really your choice. You're perfectly free to keep doing things by yourself, but if some of you want to team up that's fine as well. Just give it some semi-decent excuse like knowing eachother from a bookclub or whatever and pair up.))
(sorry for late reply)That's one hardcore convenience store if they sell handguns over the counter...
Bob had big complex thinking and it was interupted by his gum, POP, after sound he decided instantly:
"9mm gun." PoP. "And some magazines please." Bob Stopped for a sec..... "May i look first?"
He wasnt master of words but he tryed to be constructive.
"You mean from less than nothing to nothing?"The guard chuckles and waves goodbye. You clock out and head out into the darkness. You arrive at your appartment. Going inside, you notice that you've got some mail. You've got some bills, a magazine and a little newspaper with advertisements. From your window, you can see the first red coloured clouds, signalling the coming of dawn.
Clock out, go home.
Watch some Netflix and then go to sleep for the night.You crash into your couch/bed and put on netflix. You sift through the usual late night bullshit and end up watching generation arrest, a documentary series about trainee cops having to deal with the rise of gangs.
"This Hu-Whatever nonsense can wait until morning." *yawn*
((Are our characters going to form a group at some point or are we mostly doing our own thing?))
go to the address, and prepare to be attacked.You head out to the adress. The directions from google maps take you through an industrial zone. You end up at what seems like a warehouse all the way on the outskirts of the industrial zone. THe buildings is fairly large, but doesn't seem tohave any doors at the front. You circle around back and find a single door with a very large man in front of it. The man is wearing a tuxedo, though it looks a bit weird on his huge frame. His face is also painted like a skull. He holds out a hand, signalling you to stop.
(sorry for late reply)"Sure thing, bub. It comes with three magazines and a box of ammo. Fondle my junk all you want, I ain't going anywhere." He says with a grin.

"9mm gun." PoP. "And some magazines please." Bob Stopped for a sec..... "May i look first?"
He wasnt master of words but he tryed to be constructive.
"Gimme your lunch money, nerd."You threaten the two gentlemen for their lunch money, but all you get in response is quiet whimpering from one guy and loud thrashing about from the other. You shrug and just rifle through the pockets of their coats for the money. You end up with a sizeable haul. Counting your newfound wealth, you head home to your appartement.
Approach the gentlemen and take any money they offer me. If I get nothing, just go home, I guess.
"Okay, i like it." Handing over money for weap and ammo. "Is there only 1 magazine? i would prefer to have a few." If possible buys some, heading home after this."Sure thing." He takes back the weapon and puts it in a cardboard box, along with three magazines and a small box of bullets. "Like I said, three magazines and extra bullets for when those three magazines are empty. Thanks for shopping smart, thanks for shopping S-mart."
Show the card.You hand him the card. He takes it and studies it for a while before giving it back and stepping aside.
Grab my lawn chair and carry it with me as I wander the streets, those bozos can't be too hard to spot in their Christmas elf costumes and I doubt they would go far from their base just to harass some random woman...Feeling that kicking the ass of just two of those clowns isn't enough, you grab your trusty lawnchair and head outside. Lo and behold, you haven't even gone down three streets before you see three of the suckers hanging out in a small playpark. The three are still wearing the bodysuits, coloured blue, orange and yellow this time. Two of them are sitting on swings, while on is leaning against the slide.
Take a beauty nap, I deserve it.You take a quick look at the l'oreal magazine on the table. "Why yes, L'oreal, I am worth it", you think to yourself.
Approach them and shout: "TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!"Two of the guys jump up and seem intent on starting another fight, but the guy in blue stops them. "This is the guy who beat our two brothers yesterday. The Sensei wants to see him." The two clearly don't like it, but they nod respectfully to the guy in blue and back off. The blue guy leads you a few streets away.
Go the top floor.You head up to the top floor and find the guy you're looking for surrounded by a couple of other people. You're sure it's the guy you're looking for, because his entire right arm is nothing but bones. You show him the card.
Bob leaves weapon at home. Hide it under oven. Heads to the police station.You stash your new gun in the kitchen before heading out to the plice station. As you enter the police station, you notice that there are lots of people walking around, everybody seems extremely busy. You head up to the reception desk and ask the lady behind the desk about the robber.
"Time to get some info about robbery guy, Pop"
bump ::)yeah, sorry. I was going to wait until I had at least 4 people who posted. No matter how many people post, I'll always try to do at least 2 updates per week minimum though.
Also show him the card.The guy takes the card and puts on his reading glasses, taking a closer look.
"I WILL JOIN YOUR TOURNAMENT! WHAT ARE THE RULES, OLD MAN?""Oh, very well, if you must. There are three phases to this. Phase one is a one on fight against a random fighter. Hand to hand only. The winners from phase one go on to phase two, where you are allowed one weapon of your choice. Again, one on one. In both the first and second phase the fight will go on until one fighter either gives up or gets knocked out. Those who win that are allowed into phase three, the rules of which will be explained to those who actually get there. Shall we begin?"
Go get something to eat.You head out to get something to eat, deciding to finally try out that place you pass every day on your way to work. You enter "Ye Olde Walking Cane", a little restaurant whose decor looks more like an old english pub than anything else. You go sit at the bar and take a look around. There's only you, the bartender and 2 guys sitting in a corner playing cards. Above the bar hangs a on old walking cane on a plaque. The bartender, an older gentleman wearing a rather dapper formal vest, is cleaning a glass.
"IF YOUR OTHER FIGHTERS ARE ANYTHING LIKE THOSE CHUCKLEFUCKS, I'LL HAVE WON THIS BY LUNCHTIME!"As everyone takes their places at the edge of the ring, you step onto the mat. Opposite of you is one of the bodysuit guys, this guy wearing pink. A great big gong is struck, and the fight is on!
Then Bob too leans his lawn chair against the wall and steps into the ring
Bob to receprionist: "Hope policemen did managed to get to their homes safe, huh. Thanks for the info."You thank the receptionist and head back outside. You're thinking about what to do when you suddenly feel something pressed against your back.
( Sry didnt mentioned some1 left/forgot/quit game. BTW i am stuck i guess, i wont go investigating this case, cuz Why would i, i am pretty safe now. )
Go through the door.You step through the door and find yourself in some sort of waiting room. You sit down in one of the chairs and look around. The decor isn't all that different from a doctors office, with the only exception that there isn't any colour. Everything is a shade of grey, black or white. After some time, a little buzzer goes by the door. You enter, and find yourself in a huge room. In the middle of the room is a rather large desk, completely black. Behind the desk is a skeleton, his eyesockets filled with blue light. He's wearing a black robe with the hood over his head. He's currently leafing through a huge book with one hand, while dangling a small ball of yarn in front of a kitten with his other hand.
I would like to join in.In downtown megacity 15, the police are currently in a standoff outside of a clothing store. Five police cars are in a half circle outside of the entrance, the impromptu barricade bristling with guns. One police officer is furiously talking into a cellphone, trying to negotiate with the hostage takers.
The name of our hero is Rick Action. He is a miserable git, but he gains great strength when he does one thing well.
One-liners.
The more, the better.
Jump into action through a window.
"Uhhh, pop... eeem i have some info for you, it would be easy if we talked near police station but whuteva... pop. I talked to receptionist and she confirms that the one who atacked policemen, who led robber after the case to police station, are at the old abandoned military base, POP... I am sorry for ur bruh. But i have no idea who leaked info about ur bruh."You try to explain your innocence. You can't really see if he believes you, because he is wearing a gas mask. THe other two guys also start pleading for their lives, but the four men keep their guns trained on you. After a while, a man in a police uniform but also wearing a gasmask comes along and talks to the leader. They discuss something but you can't hear them. After a while he joins the four armed men and the police guy goes off again.
Grab the arm part of a mannequin and hide. When the kidnapper comes whack him over the head with it and say:((By the way, if you don't want anyone to see the one liners you can always pm me. also, please choose a color for your speech, so that it doesn't get too confusing with the npc dialog. ))Spoiler: One-liner nr.1 (click to show/hide)
"Um.., hello, Sir."MISS DIANE, I SHALL BE WITH YOU IN A MOMENT. AS SOON AS I FIND THIS MEGACITY 15 ON THIS BLASTED MAP.
"Shepard's pie, thank you.""Right you are, guv."
Order a Shepard's pie and sit.
Hit him in the chin with my knee[6->6] The guy runs towards you, but you just stand there.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER PINKY? LOST TRACK OF INKY, BLINKY, AND CLYDE?"
Pick up my lawn chair and get back in the arenaYou grab your lawn chair and head back onto the mat. On the other side is a man with a rake, its sharp teeth tipped off with corks, wearing green overalls.
"COME ON THEN, WE'LL BE DONE WITH THIS IN NO TIME"
Wake up and go to school, I guess?You wake up and guess it's time for school, again. Same old, same old boring stuff. The morning goes by in a haze, and you find yourself staring out of the window of your classroom on the second floor, looking at the main gate of the school. The geography teacher is rambling on about some program that uses google maps to let you watch star constellations ro something, but you're suddenly jerked from your pleasant daydream as an armoured bulldozer comes crashing through the school gate. One of the teachers exits the teachers lounge to see whats happening just as the driver comes out. The teacher, probably thinking this is some kind of accident, goes up to the driver who is fumbling around the driver's compartement.
Sorry mate i am not drinking. pop."I see"
go and sit on cube.
Go through the door to the right.You enter the door and find yourself in a very large room. The room is filled with shelves on which countless sandtimers stand, the slow rushing of the sand inside sounding like a great waterfall. You walk to the other side of the room, but there is seemingly no end. You do come across a gap between two shelves, and the shadow inside the gap seems darker than normal. On a hunch, you extend your hand and find that you can keep going further than where the wall would seem to be.
Grab the shotgun and sneak to the rest of the group. Say the one liner to myself."Double the gun, double the fun." you say to yourself with a grin, and you head over to the door. [4+1] You manage to sneak up behind a rack of t-shirts without anyone seeing you. You peek over the top and can see two guys standing near the cash register. One has a submachinegun, while the other is wearing a bulletproof vest and has a pistol. The one with the vest is on the phone.Spoiler: One-liner nr.2 (click to show/hide)
"Thank you."you start eating the pie, taking a sip of beer from time to time. The pie is quite lovely, the meat nice and juicy while the potatoes are obviously frshly made. The beer is nice as well, with a full flavor and just the right amount of bitterness. You're almost done eating when you drop the fork on the ground. You reach out to pick it up, but your vision is going all blurry and you can't really move your fingers anymore. You manage to look at the barman, who smiles in a friendly fashion.
Start eating. Make sure to savor the taste.
((I'm betting on cannibals, and the beer being drugged.))
GO home.Having just made a trip to a gang hideout, then to a interdimensional door and being given a magic key by a skeleton, you decide it's time to go home. You head upstairs, you are now home.
((Eating lunch, going to school, sitting in a room, what riveting adventures...))((I am amused by that pun))
Get ready to bash my opponent with the chair when he attacks
"DOES THAT WEAPON MAKE YOU A RAKIST?"
Explore the room.Sorry about that. So, it's a pretty large room underground. The walls, floor and ceiling are all reinforced concrete. The blast door that the gasmask man closed is 200mm thick steel. You know this because it says so on the door. There is a tiny airvent near the ceiling on one of the walls, but it's only big enough for your head, the rest of your body is simply too large to fit in. In the middle of the room is the cube (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/amagicalplace/images/4/4f/Cube.jpg/revision/20130625143011), it has a hole in one side and seems hollow in the middle. There is a bulkhead door on the wall opposite of the blastdoor where you entered. Next to this bulkhead door is a sign that says "WARNING, NO ENTRY. DANGER AHEAD" There is also a small chair and table, on which the guy left the drink.
(More description please :o )
Shoot both of these fools in the head and say:"Minds are gonna blow." you say and pop to unload both barrels. [4][3] You pop up and squeeze the trigger. The guy with submachinegun gets blasted right in the face, the pellets tearing a large chunk out of his neck and the right side of his face. He slumps to floor and makes rather horrid gurgling sounds. Your aim is off on the second shot, probably due to the recoil from the first shot. The pellets hit him hard in the bulletproof vest he's wearing, sending him staggering backwards onto a shelf. He half falls half manages to hold onto the shelf and fires a few reactionary shots roughly in your direction. The shots miss you, shattering a lamp that hung behind you and showering you with glass, making you duck back behind the counter.Snatch their guns afterwards.Spoiler: One-liner nr.3 (click to show/hide)
Follow one of the killdozer people.Using the panic that has spread throughout the school and your classroom, you slip out of the door in the back of the room. you remember seeing a few enter the building you're in right now, so you head downstairs. When you come to the 1st floor, you hear a scream from the music classroom. You sneakily sneak over to the door and peek through the little glass window. Most of the class is standing near the wall to the back of the class, terrified. at the front of the class there's three people. A woman and a guy from the cult, wearing a hockey mask and scream mask respectively. The guy is holding a male student and his a machete at his throat. THe female is holding a baseball bat with nails through it. She's saying something, but you can't hear it very well through the soundproofing of the room.
Smash his knees with my chair, I shall break him physically, emotionally and psychologically!You throw a never ending barrage of lawchair at the guys knees. One of his kneecaps actually gets hit so hard it flies off and hits an audience member in the face. The man starts crying for his mommy before giving up.
"NOW WHAT WOULD YOUR MOTHER SAY IF SHE SAW YOU LOSING THIS BADLY?"
"A lowly janitor, friend."He says you aren't on todays list of great warriors. Surely this is a mistake. He asks what great battle you died fighting?
Talk to him.
GO to sleep.You go to sleep and have horrible nightmare of city on fire, zombies eating people, and getting dragged into an alleyway by tentacles and eaten alive. You wake up sweating and screaming.
Peek through the "No entry" door if opened. Gather info.You open no entry door, there is long dark staircase going long way down. There is light down at the base of the staircase.
Then use small chair to look inside vent.
You crawly crawl back to the room where you made your spectacular entrance. The hostages are nervous. You hear the guy calling you very bad names and starts walking, probably towards room you are in.Back off to the previous room and hide.Spoiler: One-liner nr.4 (click to show/hide)
Quietly move behind the woman and try to dislocate one of her shoulders.What? You are standing before door leading into classroom. The cowering students are, from your point of view, at the end of classroomto the left of the door. The two masked people and the hostage student are at the front of classroom, to the right side of the door. You're not gonna be sneaking in there without anyone seeing you.
Try to calm downI love how the rest of us are essentially playing Mortal Kombat or Splinter cell, and Wipeout's playing Sims...
Pancaek, could you pretty please update the OP?Update with what? Did I forget to add something?
Yeah, you forgot to add SaberTooth's character to it.Pancaek, could you pretty please update the OP?Update with what? Did I forget to add something?
Yeah, you forgot to add SaberTooth's character to it.D'oh. I could've sworn I did that already. Anyway, I added Saber's character to the list.
I bow out of this match, I don't doubt Bob could win but a deathmatch is a little beyond what he'd be willing to do, even for potential superpowers.You are let outside by two security men. They escort you to the front door and motion for you to exit. You, but as you come at the edge of the building, a guy who was talking on his phone steps in front of you and smiles at you.
"YOU GUYS MIGHT BE IDIOTS BUT I'M NOT ABOUT TO MURDER YOU ALL YOU OVER IT. I'M OUT!"
Take out my phone and call the cops.You take out your cellphone and dial 911. A female voice answers. "Megacity 15 P.D., what is your emergency?"
Try to calm downYou try to calm down. [1] You try to calm down, but it's just too much. Holy shit, like, you were assaulted by these two weirdos spouting cultist babble. Then you had to go to a gang hideout all by yourself, only to be led to this weird ass place through a door in the middle of a room. THEN, some creepy skeleton gave you a key and you walked through a shadow and suddenly you were back home. But it wasn't over yet, because you had some sort of, like, prophetic dream about zombies and fire and more tentacles than your average bootleg Japanese anime.
"Well, I was fighting a great battle with a pie and some beer before I got here.""Beer and pie? Hmm. Yes, I guess they may have used the wrong mushrooms in the pie. We used to eat certain mushroom to gain the berserker rage in my day, you know. Probably something similar to that.
Tell him about the pie, and the beer.
Take cup, and spoil everything on Cube. Try to sit on cube maybe it accepts the sacrifice.You take the cup and pour its contents over the cube. You try to climb on it, but as you grab hold of the cube you notice that it's getting pretty hot. You take a step back, and for just a second the cube glows. You hear a dull thud and a few smaller plinks on the other side of the cube, and just as the cube goes dark again the light in the staircase suddenly spring on. You look on the other side of the cube, and see that a mosin-nagant has fallen off. It's got a bayonet, and there are 4 stripper clips of 5 bullets around it. You peek inside the staircase and see that it's now pretty well lit all the way down.
Grab a piece of glass, hide next to the door, when the guy goes through stab him in the neck and grab the gun.You grab a nice large shard of glass and go stand in a spot next to the door. The guy steps comes in and you say your one liner. "I can see you, and now I can see through you." [3] You try and stab him in the neck, but the guy manages to jerk out of the way just in time. Your stab misses, but you smack into him and you both go tumbling down to the ground. You manage to stay upright by grabbing onto a mannequin, but the guy goes down and his gun slides away from him. He quickly regains his footing, however, and snatches up an equally large shard of glass from the floor.Spoiler: One-liner nr.4 (click to show/hide)

Then if nothing interesting, Shout loudly into the cavern, then get back to safe distance and get ready to shoot somehting.You touch the wall, but you don't really get anything interesting. You put your gun against the side of the cave entrance to steady your aim and shout into the cave. You can't see anything, but you hear something skitter away in the distance.
Steal all of the guns and ammo, cut the ropes tying the hostages and make a glorious escape via rooftop.You grab a backpack from the sotre and throw in the handgun, machine pistol and sawed off shotgun. You get the hostages freed and somehow, by tying together a bunch of jeans, manage to climb back up through the skylight. You make your escape across the rooftops and as you jump onto the rooftop of the building next door you can hear the police enter the the store you were just in.
Run into the room and try to tackle the man to the ground.[4] You burst throught the door and run straight into the guy. Taken by surprise, the two fo you fall into a heap on the floor. [4] Your sudden action manages to inspire the students, who rush the woman. [5] vs [5] The students grab their chairs and whatever else they can find to, but the woman puts up quite a fight of her own. She nimbly dodges some books the students throw at her and even manages the conk one of them on the side of the head, knocking him out.
Find the secret door.(You're, uh, going to have to be a bit more specific than that.)
Spit into his eyes.(You want a follow-up on that action?)
Find the secret door.
Go to the top floor.You head towards the building and the guard lets you in without any hassle. You head back down the stairs and into the the club. There's less people around at this time of day, and they're mostly lounging around and eating. You head through the secret door behind the bar and end up back in the large office after the guard lets you through after he checks you for hidden weapons. Both the father and the son with the skeletal arms are at the desk, looking over some papers.
On the one hand, this seems a bit sketchy, on the other hand it sounds fun..."Your request has been received loud and clear! Assembling additional information for non-members now! Please hold."
"YES, MORE INFORMATION WOULD BE GOOD"
Bob dares to enter cave. Go, he said in his mind, and only "pop" came out.You step into the cave, making a little pop noise as your gum bursts. Whenever you put your foot down the moss coating the floor gives off a bit of light. You catch something in the corner of your vision. There is someone -something- looking at you from a tunnel on the right side of the cave. ALl you can see is a large paw and a long snout with big whiskers poking out from behind a corner.
Spit into his eyes.You try to spit into his eyes. [1->4] You spit, repeatedly. Your spit covers pretty much his entire face, but you don't manage to hit his eyes.
"SURE, SIGN ME UP""Confirmed. Please grab your toothbrush and await pickup." And the line goes dead. You shrug and do as she says, going to the bathroom and grabbing your toothbrush. Not five minutes after your doorbell rings. You open up and two guys in suits are standing at your door. They tell you to drop everything and follow them to the roof. When you step through the door leading to the rooftop, you're greeted by a big, military helicopter. They climb inside after you and close the door. You sit down on a bench in its hold, with the two guys on either side of you. A woman is sitting on the opposite side of you. Though its dark in the hold, you can clearly see that she's a robot.
Slolwly walk backwards, aim at -something- and try to talk:You aim at the...thing? When you speak, it sort of chirps and slowly slidles from behind the corner. It clacks its two pincers happily and looks at you with its two eye stalks. It's basically a crab, only somehow it's the size of large dog. It points its pincer down a tunnel and clickety clacks a few times. It probably wants you to follow him.
"Hey buddy... do u see me?"
Say hello.[5] You greet the two gentlemen like a normal person would. They look up from the documents. The older one, the father, speaks.
Return to my hideout.You return to your hideout. That is, your appartement in one of the less nice neighbourhoods. You lay out the guns you've collected on the table and patch up the cuts from the glass you got when heroically crashing through the skylight. You put on the tv to get some background noise while you're doing this.
Fuck it, kick him in the balls, if I can.[1->6] You sort of weakly plant your knee between his legs, but you don't actually manage to cause him much discomfort. [4] vs [1] The other students manage to bear down the woman to the ground. One of students grabs her bat and starts beating her with it. One of the students with better situational awareness grabs the guy's machete and comes over to help you. You swings the blade overhead. The pressure on your neck suddenly drops away and you see the guys eyes grow wide behind his mask before rolling upwards, a small trickle of blood making its way down the face of the mask. He slumps to the side. You sit up again.
"Thanks. Looks like there's still more of the crazy people further up. Mind if I borrow that bat? I'm gonna need something if I have to fight any of them.""Yeah man, here you go." He hands you the bat.
Stealthily move up, keeping an eye out for the crazy people.
"WHAT GADGETS AND WEAPONS DO YOU HAVE? I'D RATHER NOT WASTE TIME LEARNING TO USE NEW BODY PARTS""We have lots of gadgets, and what we don't have we can make. We have some of the finest minds working in our R&D department, overseen by Engineer Hartmann. If you don't want to replace or add anything new to your body, there's always Doctor Igor's supersoldier serum. Though I suspect he'll be somewhat dissapointed that he won't get to experiment on you.
"oh hey lil buddy, u kinda scared me Mr.Crab" Bob follows lil fella.The clickety clacks once more and walks sideways into the tunnel. You follow it for what seems like half an hour when you finally come to the end. The crab goes to a shallow puddle where four small crabs are scuttling around in. He clacks his pincers and points one to the wall.
"SUPERSOLDIER SERUM? THAT THE STRENGTH AND DURABILITY STUFF THEY'VE BEEN RAVING ABOUT ON TV? I ASSUMED IT WAS SOME SCAM TO CHEAT BODYBUILDERS AND WEIGHTLIFTERS BUT IF IT'S REAL I MAY TRY IT OUT""Hah, no. The stuff from the commercials is a total scam. Our serum is the real deal, though. And it's even better than anything those commercials have claimed. Strenght, endurance, awareness, flexibility, it does it all."
Explore the place.There's only the main room with the bar/seating/dance floor, a kitchen to the side of the bar and the hidden passage that leads to this room. Nothing else.
Dance on the dance floor.[6->6] You go out onto the dance floor, emitting an aura that makes people quickly clear a space for you. As the music plays and the dance floor lights up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUID0jSh2Ic) You dance, and let the rythm consume you.
Bob: "So... U expect me to become crab helper :o ... nevermind i want to get out anyways so ill help you ;) " Bob carefully places his rifle, getting shure it wont get wet or fell down, then starts digging.You try to get the stones out of the way, but they're stuck pretty bad. You try and wrench out a large one with your bayonet, but it's just no use. You wonder to yourself what would be more practical in this situation. Probably a pickaxe or something.
"SOUNDS LIKE USEFUL STUFF, HOW MUCH LONGER BEFORE WE ARRIVE?""Looks like we've about arrived, I'll introduce you to the two gentlemen I talked about. First let's talk to the good Doctor about the serum, yes?"
When we land, enter with the others
Start sneaking up to the second floor.You and the guy with the bat head on to sneak up to the second floor, while the girl elects to stay in the classroom. You go up the stairs, [5] and manage to remain completely undetected. You peek through the tiny mirror in the door of the classroom where you can hear the gunshots come from. There are two people here. One is manning the machine gun that's firing outside, while the other helps feed the bullet belt into the gun.
((am i((you sure are!))GreenCube lantern? xD ))
Take more chewing gum and expectate the ring.
"I HEARD YOU HAD SOME SUPER SERUM YOU COULD GIVE ME. ALSO, WHICH WAY TO THE FANCY GADGETS?"((*jotting down notes* hmm, hmm, interesting. Do continue.))
((Looks like I'm going Captain America on this one... well, assuming there aren't horrible side effects to the serum in which case Hulk might be more accurate...))
"Uh..., ok penguin man".You put on the bracelet, but nothing happens. The pinguin is flapping its little wings
Diane had no freaking idea why there was suddenly a penguin in front of her, talking about musical maidens. She thought she was hallucinating, but decided whatever, I'll try.
Put on the bracelet.
Diane hoped this worked, even if she thought it wouldn't.The pinguin gives you a funny look, but your shout triggers the transformation all the same. What seems to observers to be an all too lenghty transformation with lots of pretty lights and ribbons actually only takes a second, and you find yourself in a bright pink uniform with altogether too many frills that looks like something from one of those foreign kid's shows with bad dubs. You are also holding a sort of wand thing with a heart shaped crystal on the end. It, too, is pink.
"Magical Music Maiden powers, activate!"
Bob: "hmm i need a place to practice... after a pizza break!"You pick up the phone and call a pizza place that's not too far from here.
*calls pizza delivery*
Bob: "soo, i want big pan pizza with shrimps, mushrooms and jalapeno, with nacho souce!"
wow, what an intence day i had, Bob thoughs...
"I WAS THINKING I WOULD NEED A SHIELD (PREFERABLY ONE ABLE TO STOP BULLETS), AND SOMETHING TO HIT PEOPLE WITH. AT LEAST TO START OUT WITH. MAYBE A GRAPPLING HOOK FOR GOOD MEASURE."((Everyone is pretty used to heroes and villains being eccentric at best. Shouting all the time is fairly normal to these people.))
((Surprisingly large amount of dialog so far for someone who is constantly shouting...))
Start slowly creeping behind the guy with the machine gun. When I get close enough, knock him out with a blow to the head with my bat.You silently open the door and sneak into the room, your footsteps muffled by the sound of the machine gun. You go for the guy on the gun, while the other student goes for the loader. [6] You swing the bat into the side of the guy's head. You swing it with so much force, in fact, that part of his skull caves in. The loader reacts [1] and the student swings the machete, but manages to not only miss the loader but swipe the bat out of your hands as well. It falls to the floor a few feet away from you as the loader starts to struggle with the student.
Go to the gun store and buy me:We'll say you've got enough cash for all of this stuff, but now you don't have much left.
two S&W 29's with ammo
a shotgun, also with ammo
anything with a full auto option.
Also get a balaclava, a black trenchcoat, stylish sunglasses and a Rambo style knife with sheath.
Attack them with the wand.[4] You point the wand at one of the grenadiers and wiggle it around after nothing happens. You wave it a bit more frantically and yell "shoot!". A bright neon pink beam shoots out of the crystal and hits the grenadier in the chest, burning a large hole all the way through. The greandier goes stiff and falls to the ground with a load "thunk".
"I WAS THINKING SOMETHING HEAVY, LIKE A HAMMMER OR MACE. AS FOR THE SHIELD, A HEXAGONAL SHIELD SOUNDS GOOD. NOT SURE WHAT UNIFORM I'D GO WITH, SURPRISE ME."He continues writing while you speak. You feel as though his writing speeds up a bit when you tell him to surprise you. "Hmm, hmm. Hammer-slash-mace like weapon, shield, uniform. I'll get the lads together and we'll get something made as soon as possible. Shouldn't be too long, we did some general preparations beforehand." He touches the side of his head with two fingers. "They just told me our resident mad scientist is finished with your serum. You can head over there whenever you want. Oh, and what's your favourite colour?"
Punch the loader in the stomach.[4] You punch the guy in the stomach, and he doubles over. This frees the student, who grabs his machete and [2] again manages to miss the loader. The loader gets on his hands and knees and heaves. he looks at you with blood-shot eyes.
"It's like Christmas, that's all, thanks."You ask the guy for his number and he gives you a store card with the number on the back. When you put it into your cellphone you ask him for his name. He tells you that you can call him by his old callsign, "beo".
Search for a place troubled by crime. And not the school, I have some bad experiences regarding English classes and tentacles in there.
Also, write down the old man's name into my BFF list. That guy is seriously awesome.
((i am eating pizzaS, ill make move later :3 ))You open the pizza box. On the inside of the lid, someone wrote "Ave, Chosen"
"Look, I don't care who this Kellogg guy you're talking about is, but I'm gonna make him pay for messing up a good day of bullying people. Of course, you're gonna need to tell me where to find him first. Or else."
Crack knuckles menacingly, and if he doesn't comply, perform my super-atomic nuclear wedgie on him.
I don't care who this Kellogg guy you're talking about is
Kellogg guy
"I guess i have no choice as to investigate that pizza delivery company" - and with these words Bob finished eating pizzas, took his gun from kitchen, for extra cousious and set off!You finish eating the entire damn pizza. That's, like, way too many calories, but it tastes really good. You grab your pistol from the kitchen and head out to investigate the pizza place.
"TEAL, AS IT HAPPENS"Engineer Hartmann makes a note of it and heads off. You see him gathering a bunch of workmen around him, explaining and pointing.
Head over to get some food before serumizing, preferably tacos. I don't think I've eaten in almost a full day...
Attack again.[4] "Diane Beemu!" You wave the wand again and hit the same guy in the head. His head disintegrates and he falls over, motionless.
Go to the dance club and look for an epic way of entering the building without being pulverized instantly.You head over to the dance club. You stop about a street away from the club building. Okay, so there are about eight grenadiers climbing the walls, and another six are heading inside. There's also a group of five standing outside in a circle, with a person you can't see clearly in their middle.
"Look, I don't care who this Kellogg guy you're talking about is, but I'm gonna make him pay for messing up a good day of bullying people. Of course, you're gonna need to tell me where to find him first. Or else.""Fool! You won't be mocking him much longer!"
Crack knuckles menacingly, and if he doesn't comply, perform my super-atomic nuclear wedgie on him.
((miracly i have that piece of paper with me))bob:"Here boy, i had this with my pizzaZ"
, Bob gives scrap of paper that he found.
- pop.
Get the serum, or at least meet back with Dr. IgorYou put your tray in the rack with the other used trays and head back to Dr. Igor's part of the facility. When you get there, you see him ordering around poeple in labcoats.
Somehow get the bulldozer up the crane and drive it off, jumping out into safety a second before it falls, then drop into the building, saying:[4+1] You stay low and make your way into the construction site without being seen. You go to the small building next to the crane. Inside you find the control box. YOu grab it and the keys for the bulldozer, and set off to complete your plan. You drive the bulldozer underneath the crane and, using the control box, lower the hook. You attach the four cables to the four edges of the bulldozer. You get into the bulldozer, brace yourself and push the button.Spoiler: One-liner nr.5 (click to show/hide)
Get to cover, and start shooting.[3] You flip a table and get behind it just as six more grenadiers come through the door. You frantically wave your wand, but all it does is make pretty coloured stars that float harmlessly through the air. The grenadiers shoulder their rifles and [5] the resulting salvo kills two guards and [1] gets you in the left arm. It hurts like hell, but it's no more than a flesh wound.
((Even if I die now, I win.))
"Don't worry, citizens, I'm here to save you.
Shoot the bad guys, if there are any remaining. Get to cover.
Shoot him in the head.Diane[4] vs Rick [3] Diane pops out from behind her cover and decides to fire on of her pink beams on the strangers who just crashed his bulldozer through the roof and killed the grenadiers. Rick sees her pop out of cover just in time, however, and manages to start moving a fraction of a second before the beam hits him. The beam scores a nasty hit on his upper leg. It hurts like hell and bleeds a bit but everything still seems to work, so it's just a fleshwound most likely. His dive-slash-fall propels him behind what used to be the bar.
((Like there's any real question what I'm gonna do))The baton is a rather solid black stick, perfectly capable of putting on the hurt by itself. You press the button, wondering what it does. Around the top of the baton four metal flanges jut out about an inch or so. Upon clicking the button a second time, they begin emitting an electrical charge. A third click makes the flanges retract back into the baton.
Press the button. Then put on the uniform and shield and see how they feel.
((The real question is, stun baton, telescopic baton, or baton with a grappling hook built in?))
((u write wall of beautiful text when guy presses 5 buttons saying shoot? xD"What? Duuuude, everyone in the clan knows you're the chosen one! When we opened up the blastdoor to check on you, you were gone and the cube was, like, glowing all green! Then it spoke to us and said, like, "He is strong of heart and spirit, so I have bestowed on him the ring" and stuff! It was totally awesome!"
btw thanks this is probbly only 1 game still runnin for me with gm being active :P ))
Bob: "Boy, answer me honestly, why u think i am choosen? Who said i am the one?"
'serious face'
Can i still join this? If i can:*Buff McSwole has joined the party* So, you start out in your appartment like everyone else. I'll pm you soon to clear up some details.
My name is David, also known as SuperDavid. His schtick will be... being strong because he goes to the gym!
Background story: David was once all skinny, then he went to the gym, he became very big and strong, and now everyone calls him SuperDavid!
Run away. Don't get hit or murderized.
Keep on firing.((No love lost between these two it seems...))
pop. Bob continues: "Goat dammit, i was hella scared being near that metal thing..." - serious."Uh, no, I think you're the only one." He scratches his head. He suddenly looks up in surprise and snaps his fingers. "Wait, yeah! There no one like you, but there is one guy who the cube also spoke to. They call him Hunter, he lives by himself not far from the compound. He could probably help you with whatever you need to know!"
pop... "so... well... are there more same as me? i need trainer or place where to train." - curious
Keep on firing.
Run away. Don't get hit or murderized.[3] vs [6->2] Diane jumps up again and begins wildly shooting at Rick. Rick makes mad dashes from cover to cover, finally vaulting over a large piece of rubble parkour style and sprints into the hallway. Once around the corner he stops to catch his breath. He looks up the stiars leading outside. Two silhouttes can be seen. Their arms move to point at him.
Try to find whatever mission control they have in this placeYou ask Dr. Igor, who just tells you to look at your wrist before focusing back on his results screen. On your wrist is sort of PDA. The box that Hartmann send you also included an earpiece. You put the earpiece in and tap the PDA screen. There's a bunch of options here, including one called HQ. You tap it, and a familiar voice speaks into your ears.
Go to the gym.You grab your sports bag and head to the gym. It's fairly busy today. You change into your workour clothes in the changing room and head to the main room. Several people say hi, you've become pretty known in this place over the time you've been coming here. People sometimes ask you for tips and help as well.
"Uhh, nothing, really. We were trying to, uhh, stop them from doing whatever they were doing.""I see. Fight or flight, and you chose fight, eh? Tell you what..." He holds out his hand in front of him. The blood on your clothes and coming from the exploded cultist floats in front of his hand and hovers there. It flows into the form of a sword and crystalizes. "Take this and kill the last of these pillocks so I can go back home, and I'll reward you with some of my power."
ask our fans if they need help with some evildoer.You go around the gym, chatting up with other regulars and asking if they need any help with evildoers. Predictably, no one seems to have any big bad supervillains plotting world domination in their back yard, but people compliment you on picking up the slack of the dissapeared heroes. Jessy, a woman in her twenties who you've spotted for a few times, gets a concerned look and asks you to go outside with her. She lights up a cigarette.
Also yay update.
Bob: "Then 1 more pizzas - pizza classico, with extra cheese and salami, i hope he eats pizza..."((trouble in terrorist town eh? Ask and thou shall recieve.))
then Bob calls taxi "TTT"
Receptionist: "Trouble in Terorist Town listens!"
Bob: "i need one sided ride to the compound,POP and i think i already have my free ride up"
((other i leave to you :b ))
"WHERE IS THE OUTSIDE? I WANT TO TRY THESE NEW TRICKS ON SOME BADDIES.""Projecting route to the vehicle hangar on your pda now. Compiling list of recent disturbences. Searching..." You follow the directions on your pda screen. You end up in a hangar not far from the engineering wing, filled with all kinds of vehicles. There are some very large doors that lead outside. Your pda beeps, and a list of recent disturbances is shown.
Check to see if there are any more intruders.You peek over your cover and scan the room. There are no more intruders here, but by the sound of gunfire there's at least a few of them in the stairway.
Use my FN FAL to cut down these losers with automatic fire.[6->5] You put the shotgun back into its holster on your back and unsling the FAL. You stand up as the two grenadiers go to cycle their bolts, and take aim. The gun kicks like a mule on full auto, but you manage to keep it relatively steady. It's all over in less than three seconds, leaving you with a slight ringing in your ears and a seriously sore shoulder. The effect of 20 rounds of 7.62 NATO at close range is devastating, to say the least. The grenadiers are swept off their feet by the hail of bullets. One of their arms tumbles down the stairs past you.
"Might as well get any help I can in getting rid of those maniacs..You grab the sword, which is oddly warm to the touch. You check around this floor and the one below it, but those are void of any cultists. On the ground floor there is still one of the cultists in a classroom. He's looking out of the window toward the entrance, holding a fire axe.
Take the sword, and go around the school checking around for any remaining cultists.
-snippety-((Because I realized that the only real option I gave you in the last update was to open a door, and that's pretty boring.))
Sneak behind the cultist with the axe and attack him with the sword.[2] You try and sneak up on the cultist, but the guy is so panicked that he whirls around at the slightest sound. He grabs his axe in both hands and charges at you, screaming incoherently. Cultist [1] vs you [6->1] Channeling your inner Miyamoto Musashi, you just sidestep his clumsy swing. You then grab your sword with both and swing it at his head. You do this with the blunt side of the blade. The sword shatters, shards of blood crystal digging into the cultist's flesh. The guy is most certainly dead, but the sword is ruined. The handle and shards melt away into red goo.
Head for the dance club, I'll show everyone my awesome movesYou grab one of the humvees from the hangar and head out to the club. You arrive there pretty soon after. All you can see from the outside is a about 6 people standing in a line, looking at the entrance. They seem to be dressed as old timey british grenadiers. There's a guy behind them, wearing dirty overalls. He's shouting orders at the line.
Carefully, get to the stairway.You carefully make your way over to the stairway. You peek around the corner of the ruined door. Two grenadiers are laying on the floor, while the guy you shot at earlier is near the top of the stairs, checking out the bodies.
Grab the disembodied arm. Reload the FN FAL and pull out my revolvers. Walk up the stairs, keeping vigilant at all times and loot the corpses of the dead criminals.You grab the arm. It flops around and isn't as heavy as you would have expected. It's also devoid of any blood. The stairway is pretty dark though, so you can't make out anything. You change the mag of your FAL with one of the two backup mags, sling it back onto your back and pull out the two revolvers from their holsters. You creep up to the top of the stairs, stopping at the bodies. With the outside light shining in you can make out more details. You inspect the bulletholes, but there doesn't seem to be any blood. You touch one of the dead grenadiers and get a splinter in your finger. They're made out of wood! The only things of value they've got are battered Lee-Enfield rifles and a spare stripper clip of bullets.
"Dont worry, i understand what you mean.((Sure thing. You can always just put "go there immediately" in your action. And remember, just because an exposition fairy walks up to you and starts talking doesn't mean you can't punch them in their stupid face.))
wears sunglasses
"I will go fight these kids. You know i hate people who believe they are important and start giving orders around!
Just tell me where i need to go."
((Also it would be cool if you just send me in the place in the next update, since those happen every three days))
((Hey Pancaek, you got room for one more?))Sure thing, you can pm me your character and some extra info and I'll add you in next turn.))
Spoiler: One-liner nr.1 (click to show/hide)
((Re-using one liners, I see. Though I suppose it was hard to come up with something else that would've worked.))Spoiler: One-liner nr. 7 or so (click to show/hide)
((Thanks, i was thinking how to make my move, but u made everything i guess ;D ))"Eh? Questions? Oh, fine, these old bones need a rest anyway. Come over here and sit a while." He puts out two lawnchairs and motions for you to sit down. He grabs two slices of pizza, giving one to the dog. The great dane happily eats, with lots of slobbering as a result.
Bob: "Greetings! I had questions to you and so i came here. How about a bit of pizza while we talking?"
#Smiles, opens pizza
Punch spandex dude in the face. If succesful say: "Can't say you saw that coming" for extra cool points.(spandex [2] vs you [5]) Spandex closes the distance between the two of you in a couple of short strides. He twirls around and kicks with his leg at just above waist height. You take the kick and grab a hold of his leg, pinning it between your arm and your torso. You take a quick step backwards, throwing the guy off balance. Then you lash out with a mean right hook, showing everyone that sometimes strength does beat dexterity. Spandex falls to ground. He tries to get back up, but he's too dazed and out of it to even get off of the floor.
Try to hide.You scuttle over to some rubble and hide between to rather sturdy looking pieces of ceiling that make a nice inpromptu tent. You sit in the darkness of your indoor refuge, completely hidden from any casual observers.
Throw the wooden arm behind them to distract them. If it works, blast them away with the revolver akimbo goodness.Spoiler: One-liner nr. 7 or so (click to show/hide)
Drop kick the dirty overalls guy while he's distracted.As bob carefully makes his way closer to the group, Rick puts both of his revolvers back in their holsters. He picks up the wooden arm and throws it over the heads of the grenadiers. They look up for just a moment, including the guy in overalls. Bob takes this moment to spring into actions, setting off like an olympic runner. "OI BLOODY-BACKS, LOOKING FOR A DANCE?" He yells as he jumps and puts his feet first, a move that wouldn't be out of place in Street fighter 8: ultimate platinum diamond championship final director's cut edition. [6+1->3+1] The guy in overalls has no time to react before he's jump kicked in the stomach. Bob may have gone just slightly overboard though, and the two of them wind up in heap. The grenadiers, reacting to the scuffle behind them, turn their heads and lower their guns.
"OI BLOODY-BACKS, LOOKING FOR A DANCE?"
"This is one weird day alright.."You go check on the other students. By the time you get back to the classroom, EMT's have started to evacuate the students. The guy and girl who helped you earlier break off from the rest of the group and head over towards you. They've both got thermal blankets over their shoulders. They thank you for everything you've done and you exchange phone numbers before they're herded off.
Just sorta go check on the others.
Spruce Spanner
Hit him on the head with my batonAre you talking to me in my mind?
HEY BUD, IF YOU'RE NO FRIEND OF THESE GUYS HOW ABOUT WE WORK TOGETHER FOR A BIT? KEEP THE REDCOATS OFF ME SO I CAN GET THIS GUY.
I assume I'm talking out loud... and I was actually referring to Rick, since he's like ten feet away from me... (I would use names, but my character doesn't know Rick's name and I don't think the middle of a scuffle is when to ask for it)Hit him on the head with my batonAre you talking to me in my mind?
HEY BUD, IF YOU'RE NO FRIEND OF THESE GUYS HOW ABOUT WE WORK TOGETHER FOR A BIT? KEEP THE REDCOATS OFF ME SO I CAN GET THIS GUY.
I just realized that with the name Spruce Spanner, Beirus is probably going to turn into some kind of tree monster when he gets angry... At least, if punnery is obeyed it will...((Shush, don't ruin my thing. :P The name is close to someone he might end up emulating. It was either that or Coney Clark :P))
Bang one spandex dude's head against another spandex dude's head until they faint.[6->6] You grab them by the heads. They try to resist, and you take a few nunchuck blows to the ribs, but they simply cannot match your raw strenght. You bash their heads together. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again.
Bob shows his hand with the ring saying:[5] You materialize the pickaxe again. The old man watches you do so, chewing his pizza and otherwise being unimpressed.
"I feel power. I know i can do "something" - showing "", but i need help in understanding my possibilities..." Chews pizzas. Bob tries to make that pickaxe he did earlyer.
Hit him on the head with my baton
"HEY BUD, IF YOU'RE NO FRIEND OF THESE GUYS HOW ABOUT WE WORK TOGETHER FOR A BIT? KEEP THE REDCOATS OFF ME SO I CAN GET THIS GUY."
Continue hiding.
"Gimme a second."As our resident mahou shoujo keeps on hiding underneath some rubble, the fight on the surface continues. [6->2] Bob hits the guy in overalls in the face with his baton, breaking his nose. Rick, meanwhile quickly holsters his empty revolvers and takes out his shotgun again. [6->1][5] The dragonsbreath round hits the first grenadier straight in the chest, sending him flying back into the pile of overalls and Bob, on fire. The second round takes off the last grenadiers head.
It's time to pull out the shotgun and pulverize the remaining grenadiers.
"Now. What you been' sayin'?
((Red leather, gold-lined pages? I see what you did there. Gonna flip a coin to decide which to read first.))The book is dividided up in two parts. The first part is about various demons, giving a short description and a sketch. The second part does something similar for "divine" beings, though some of these descriptions don't seem all that divine. Every description also includes a ritual of summoning. All of these sketches also have a small symbol in the upper right corner, either: S,C,D or !
Spruce takes a moment to look at each book, trying to decide which to read first. After a few minutes in contemplation, he takes both over to his favorite reading chair and sets "Canergak's animunculi" down beside him as he cracks open "daemones et diis" and starts reading.
Read daemones et diis.
ask the girl what to do, possibly not leaving these people here so much woundedYou turn to ask her what to, but see that she's already calling an ambulance. When the ambulance comes and takes the wounded guys away, she comes up to you.
Shoot somebody with the wand.[6->4] One of the wounded guards limps past you. You raise your wand and flick it in his direction. The beam hits him in the back, and he explodes in a shower of guts and gore. Neat.
((Demons and divine beings will be like my JARVIS :p))The book is divided into chapters, each chapter explaining a certain device and how to make them. Some of them are fairly simple at first glance, like an automatic crossbow. the further you get into the book, though, the weirder everything gets. The translations start to become somewhat lacking, and some of these parts have really weird names. Is that a giant mecha robot on page 198? Deary me.
"Interesting. Maybe I can try one of these out later, just to see what happens. I wonder what the other book is about."
Set "daemones et diis" next to me. Read through "Canergak's animunculi".
Fuck it, activate the shock feature of my baton and zap the grenadier and guy in overalls[1] With the baton between yourself and overalls guy, you manage to press the button to activate the electrified flanges. Both fo you get zapped something fierce. You lose control over your muscles, spasming on the floor like some kind of wierd drug induced tango.
"GET OFF ME DAMMIT!"
((NOT FINISHED YET))While Captain Teal and the other guy are spazzing out on the floor, you take your time and reload your impressive arsenal. Twelve rounds in the revolvers, fresh magazine for the FAL and a few new dragonsbreath shells in the shotgun. The guns are hungry, but you always make sure to feed them on time.
Reload all guns.
"I am not asking to teach me, i am asking about powers over all. As i see you are unimpressed of my abilities so i guess you saw much better performance! Maybe you have some one to show me how great are these powers?" - Bob chews pizzasSSS."Oh aye, I did see a better performance. We were surrounded, see? Soldiers all around us. And suddenly, out of nowhere, the biggest tank I've ever seen! The previous guy to wield one of those rings summoned a damn panzer eight Maus, right there. Scared the crap out of me.
"You know, its hard to believe that such powers really exist, and i got one of them..."
Shoot Bob.Apparently Diane is going for the vigilante-killer award
[evil path unlocked]Shoot Bob.Apparently Diane is going for the vigilante-killer award
Just as the guards are starting to panic and the grenadiers are reloading their rifles, you hear a very load snapping noise from outside. Moments later the entire roof caves in in a loud and violent manner. Dust and debris flies everywhere. For several tense moments nothing happens, only the occasional sound of one of the guards in pain or a piece of debris falling to the floor. You cautiously peer over the top of your makeshift cover. The six grenadiers are crushed beneath the fallen roof and the mangled wreck of a goddamn bulldozer. Suddenly, a guy drops in from the new hole in the roof and lands on top of the wreck of the bulldozer. He's wearing a trench coat and holding a shotgun. He pumps the slide and a spent shell arcs majestically through the air.((I just pretend its near by :P ))
((I knew that was gonna happen))[2+1] You manage to shake off enough of the shock to get up and sort of lightly slap the guy with your shield. He doesn't really react to it, turns out he was already out cold.
Shake off the shock and bash the overalls guy with my shield
"ZYAHBLABLABLAKFEJAFLNFJ!!!"
Shoot Bob.Consumed by a sudden murderous rage, you sprint upstairs and outside. You see Bob slapping a guy with a shield and aim your wand. [4] vs [4+1] Your beam goes to center mass, but Bob has managed to shake off the shock well enough to throw up his shield in time. The beam Ricochets off and slices a street light at the base, which then proceeds to fall on Bob's car.
See if the book mentions materials and parts needed to build these contraptions, and maybe if there is a help line or something mentioned in the back. Instruction manuals have those, right?It doesn't specify any particular materials. It seems that it should work whatever material you use, so long as you get the joints and general shape right. The more arcane stuff used in the "circuitry" has names like "Essence of life", "House of thought" and "living metal".
Say bye to noobie girl then go doing david stuff.You say bye to the girl and go back to the gym. You do your usual routine, take a shower and head on home. When you arrive at your building, you can see smoke coming from your appartement window.
((I really like this RtD, good job))
"Thaks for some advices. I hope these basics will help!"You summon a rather nice WWII era bicycle and ride towards the explosion. Half an hour later you arrive to find quite a scene. There's a guy bristling with weapons, a guy out cold on the ground, another guy holding a shield and a girl aiming a wand at the shield guy. You park your bike next to a crushed car with a street light on top of it.
((Lets just Connect these things :D ))
Suddenly Bob sees an explosion! "Oh my, i see something happens there, time to try out my new powers!" Bob uses his powers to make him very fast! Run!!!
ehem just makes a Bicycle "Well lets work with this then 'Grins a bit'"QuoteJust as the guards are starting to panic and the grenadiers are reloading their rifles, you hear a very load snapping noise from outside.

Sprint into appartment and Kick the ass of the general obvious spandex guyPlot twist: it's just your roommate smoking again
"BITCH! DON'T THINK I WON'T CLOCK YA AND DRAG YOU BACK TO THE HEADQUARTERS!""FOR FREEDOM!"
Hit Diane with my stun baton
"BITCH! DON'T THINK I WON'T CLOCK YA AND DRAG YOU BACK TO THE HEADQUARTERS!"
Hit Diane with my stun baton
Bob was so exited to see super heroes he forgot he is himself...
So he just watched everything like a fanboy.
"OMY GOAT!! i See supaPowaasss in action!!" second a while POOOOP!
'half of Bobs face in chewing gum'
Run away![diane=2] vs [bob=3+1] Diane starts running away, but doesn't manage to gain much speed. Bob, thanks to his serum making him the apex of human physique, catches up with her in record time. [2] The stun baton continues to be a bit of a problem. He manages to hit Diane between the shoulder blades, making her stumble to the ground. His finger slipped off of the button to make the flanges electrify, so she's still awake.
Sprint into appartment and Kick the ass of the general obvious spandex guyYou sprint into the appartment building and fly up the stairs to your floor. When you come to the door leading to your hallway, there's graffiti on the door that says "YOU HAVE ANGERED THE KHAN". You open the door and rush into your hallway, but the smoke is making this really hard. You can't even get very vlose to your front door, the flames are just that hot. Dejected, you make your way back to the stairwell, cough a few times and go back downstairs. The door on the ground floor had graffiti on the inside as well. "WE WILL TAKE EVERYTHING FROM YOU, THERE IS NO HIDING FROM HIS WRATH".
Search through "daemones et diis" for a divine being of knowledge, preferably one with an S rating on the page.You flip the pages of the divine section until you find a being of knowledge with an S rank. The pages stop flipping on the entry of LaoZi. The instructions read "Carve the following symbols on the frame of a doorway, then sprinkle a few droplets of blood before the door. Step through with a clear mind." The symbols are a string of chinese characters.
This is awesome. I want to get in on this if I can:((pm sent))Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)
((His name is Lousy, Pancaek?))((I think it's pronounced "laoh-tsuh", but I was never good at reading pinyin. One of the great chinese philosophers, wrote one of the great books about taoism. He's also a sort of deity, with the whole ancestor worship they've got going on. But he used to be human, which mostly explains his S rating. Also, it's not a possession. I can give you that much already.))
Search for any other info on LaoZi, or what might happen. Is it a Summoning or a possession? If it's a summoning, go get a knife from my kitchen and carve the symbols into the kitchen doorway, then prick one of my fingers and drop some blood. Take a moment to clear my mind, then pass through the doorway. Don't pass through if I can't clear my mind.
with tf2 heavy voice: "FIGHT ME, COWARDS!"You go outside and call the fire department. After they assure you that they'll be there in 10 minutes or less you call dojo girl's cellphone.
call the people that stop fires. Call the girl with unkown name and ask her where the bastards'base is, for I am going to fuck them up
Hit Diane again, this time aim for the head
"GOOD GOD, IS EVERYONE USING LIVE ROUNDS IN THIS TOWN BUT ME? FUCKING BULLSHIT, I NEED SOME GRENADES OR SOMETHING BEFORE MY NEXT OUTING."
Run away, while trying to shoot Bob (the one that stunned me), with my wand.[Diane = 4] vs [Captain Teal= 1] Bob tries to hit Diane in the head. Rather strangely, he does so by throwing his stun baton at diane. As he moves his arm back the baton slips out of his grasp and lands behind him on the ground. Diane is already running, and starts shooting roughly in the direction of Bob as she does so. [diane=4] vs [bob= 6->2] Though her aim is spot on, Bob's superhuman reflexes allow him to dodge the bolts of colourful magic. He does manage to dodge straight into a large store window, shattering it and landing in a heap of broken glass.
"I will return, and defeat you with my colorful magic! Off and away!!!
Make a grapple hook and shoot at diane.[1] You manage to summon some string and a fishhook. You try to hook Diane, but she's just toof ar away.
"I wont let the villain get away, PoP!"
((His name is Lousy, Pancaek?))You carve the symbols in the kitchen doorway and carefully prick your finger. You let a few drops fall to the ground. You breathe in and out, in and out, calming yourself down. When you open your eyes, the symbols seem to be glowing slightly. You take step into the doorway and...

Shoot anyone looking British or French. Then run away to my apartment.Thinking you see one of the grenadiers stir, you plant some buckshot in the back of his head. Well, everyone who looks foreign is either dead or close enough that you can't tell the difference. Another job well done for Rick Action. Hup hup and awaay~
Jim
"They burned my house. I need help."The police and firemen arrive at about the same time. While the firemen go and put out the fire, the police take your statement. Afterwards, he says: "As per usual you will be assigned a new accomodation by the megacity housing commite, to be assigned to you withing a fortnight."
that said, wait for the police to come.
((why do you hate me so much, i played 6 turns and my house is on fire, you ruined my life :'())
Look for crime to fight and foreigners to murder.well, there's no real crime on the news or anything. There's the parts of the megacity that are infested with gangs of various nature, of course. Entire buildings filled with them, but nothing out of the ordinary. As for foreigners, there's a small appartment block for british immigrants awaiting council approval a few streets from where you live.
Change back into my civilian clothes, with no powers.You do a little pirouette and the frilly magical girl clothes change back into being just a coral bracelet. You are now back in your civilian clothes, and even your hair colour has gone back to normal. It will be pretty hard for anyone to recognize you.
"Yea, still my skills sucks, PoP."You ask the shop owner, but he waves you off. "Nah, the council for damages caused by thugs, gangs, criminals and villains will take care of it. No need to worry."
Bob checks if some one wants repayment for his "deeds".
"Poor window... And me i guess"
Pick up my baton, throw the unconscious overalls-guy into the trunk of the car and look inside the club.You grab the overalls guy and head back to your truck. Even though the passenger side is completely crushed by a street light, you toss the guy into the trunk. At least you can still drive the car. It's gonna need some serious repairs though. Also, it's going to be a chilly ride, what with not having a front window anymore.
"HEY BUD, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO THAT WA- WHAT THE HELL? DID HE JUST SHOOT A GUY HOLDING A CROISSANT AND RUN OFF? I NEED BETTER ALLIES."
"HEY, GUY WITH THE FANCY RING! YES, I CAN SEE YOU OVER THERE, AND YOUR RING! WHO ARE YOU?"
Jim excitedly thinks to himself. Enough reading! People are out there who need to be rescued. I didn't learn the Heimlich maneuver for nothing!You head outside and furiously look for someone who might be choking. You find a man standing on a soapbox on the corner of the street.
Leave my apartment and walk down the street, searching for anyone who might be choking. If I find someone. immediately use the Heimlich maneuver on them.
"Excuse me, sir. Are you LaoZi?"The old man turns around and looks at you with a kindly expression.
Greet spirit politely. Inquire if he can provide evidence that is really happening, and also if he knows about either of the two books I got.
On one hand, gangs are crime and crime is bad, but on the other, the british are EVIL.It's teatime on a nice sunny day, and the common room of the british building is quite lively with people having a nice conversation over tea and assorted pastries.
Go to the British place, snatch a car an then crash it through the front door.Spoiler: One-liner number 10 or so. (click to show/hide)
I dont need no sleep. Go to the place where i beat up the bad people last time.You start walking back to the dojo where you beat up the three guys. When you round the corner from your (former) appartment, you can hear one of the firemen shout. "Hey Eddie! Where the fuck did our truck go?!"
Drive back to HQ and tell someone to investigate overalls guy
"DAMN, WANTED TO INSPECT THIS CLUB BUT I'D BEST HEAD BACK TO HQ BEFORE HE WAKES UP. NEXT TIME I'M BRINGING ROPE."
"Hey dude wait, wait!! You said HQ!?!"
Jumps into the car. "Take me with u PLEASE!!!"
"SURE THING, RING-BOY. GOT A RADIO STATION YOU PREFER TO LISTEN TO? JK, THE RADIO'S BUSTED TOO."
Can I join?Another one? Welcome. Check your pm's.
George is a taxi cab driver who - for some reason - prefers to use words that start with 'S' or 'E'. He's a smoker and frequently smokes in his cab despite the fact it's against the rules. His major vice, however, is his gambling problem. He frequently spends his money on scratch cards, so he always has a few scratched out ones lying around that he uses as a call sign, sometimes with a cigarette butt lying on top.
Go to my apartment building, and look in the mirror.You head back to your appartment. You glance through your window, it seems there was a fire in the appartment across the street. You take a look in the bathroom mirror. A girl that looks kind of like you, but more tired and disheveled looks back at you.
"Would you be willing to advise me? You seem like you were human once, or are, or will be, judging from your appearance, and I hope you would be willing to at least warn me which names not to say, or how to make these contraptions.""I will help where I am able, yes. I can only give you general info on most of theese names, though. I'm somewhat out of touch with the rest of the beings. As for contraptions, they are simple no? Follow guide, socket A into slot B, haha."
Ask.
"You're welcome! Unlike other medical professionals, I don't charge expensive fees for my services. Just give me a twenty and we'll be even.""You demand payment!? After nearly killing a prophet of P'Le-" He stops himself and takes a quick step back from you "A prophet of the Father?! I suppose I shouldn't expect any better from a heathen swine! You will feel his wrath, all of you will feel his wrath soon enough!"
Demand payment for my services. Healthcare ain't cheap!
Get in thereYou try to enter, but the door is locked. Your rattling gets the attention fo the person who was at the back, who turns out to be the janitor. He opens the door.
"MAKE SURE YOU WARN ANY OTHER HEROES YOU HAVE OUT ABOUT A BITCH IN A SPARKLY DRESS WITH A GLOWING STICK AND A DUDE IN A TRENCHCOAT FULL OF GUNS WHO HAVE DECIDED TO PAINT THE TOWN RED."((Who says you aren't on that route already~~))
"OH, AND RING-WRAITH, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT USING THAT THING BETTER, I THINK THE SUPERNATURAL WING IS... THAT WAY?" Bob points down a random hallway "AND THE 'REFORMED' VILLAIN PLACE, IN CASE YOU WANT TO TALK TO ONE OF THOSE GUYS, IS... SOME OTHER WAY? Bob points down a different hallway "I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE LAYOUT OF THIS PLACE, BUT FEEL FREE TO HIT THE FOOD COURT WHILE I GRAB SOME STUFF FROM THE STOCK ROOMS."
Head to the storage areas, grab some rope, handcuffs, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades, which will surely not backfire in any way.
((If I went the villain route my guy would probably be "the abductor" the way I'm building...))
George lets out a sigh and takes out today's paper. He puts his feet up on the dashboard and returns to his crossword puzzle.You write "vigilante". Heh, that sounds like an exciting thing to do. Suddenly someone knocks on your window. He looks like a rather unwashed homeless man.
18. Avenges crime. 9 letters.
"Perhaps building them is simple, but I do not know where to find some of the materials. It calls for 'essence of life', 'house of thought', and 'living metal' among other things. Do you know how I could acquire those?"The guy sighs. It's a sigh that betrays a lifetime, maybe even an eternity of annoyance.
More questions. Ponder if there is an abandoned factory or a scrap yard somewhere that I could get materials from.
Sleep.You put on your favourite pajamas and crawl into bed. After a hard day of fighting and trying to murder random superheroes, you fall asleep almost immediatly.
((as i know green lantern is much better in assist mode than i hero mode, imo.))"You could always go see gunny? Over there."
"Yea i would be greatfull if ive got some proper teacher or kinda."((to get + to rolls :P))
Talks to secretary: may i use ur help? Pop Do you have any information about my powers? Would be really greatefull!! for any teacher, or book, or manuscript or really anything!"
"Ehh? Not gonna pay? Wow, talk about being unappreciative. I save your life and you can't be bothered to spare a dime? Looks like me and your father will need to have a chat about your attitude, mister. Where can I find him?""The father is beyond your comprehension! You cannot possibly hope to meet him!" He clears his throat and speaks in a more sane volume. "On the other hand, if you take a look at this leaflet, there's going to be a rally this evening where one of his lieutenants will be looking for potential recruits. It's good work, you know. You're on the winning side, and the dental plan is pretty good too. Give it a thought, eh?"
Ask.
Blast her to pieces with my shotgun. Look for more Brits to murder."RICHAARD! WHY ARE YOU MOVING AWAY! HELP ME YOU DIS-" The woman is cut short as a round of dragonsbreath hits her in the face point blank. Like, holy shit, her head looks like burned minced meat. You put the shotgun away and take out the FN FAL. You take aim at the man named Richard, but the gun jams. You quickly put it back on your back and get out your revolver, putting a quick one-two into the fleeing Richards back. You then stroll around the lobby. Most of the brits are dazed and hurt, so you just go from person to person and execute them.
"Jerry cans, huh?..."Oi, calm down son. They burned your house down, ya say? 'Ere, they left this for you."
tell me where they went or i swear on me mum i will destroy everything you love. I had all of my goodies in my apartment and these pieces of crap burned it i will ruin their lives i swear."
"Huh ur rusty one i see. I am not looking for advices, PoP, i am looking for proper fight, with the rings of cource, so how about one, Captn?"You see Gunny's eye twitch visibly when you call him rusty. In the background the new recruits have stopped running and are watching the exchange with interest.
Go to the gym area and try out my grappling hook, then practice hand to hand fightingThe kiosk guy nods and goes back to his comic book. You head over to the training hall, which is pretty massive. You find the climbing wall and test out yoru grappling hook. [6 -> 3] You shoot it at the highest outcropping and it latches on. It hauls you up there with suprising speed. You are now about 10 meters up in the air, unsure wether pressing the release button is a very good idea at this time.
"I SHOULD PROBABLY TRY OUT THIS GRAPPLING HOOK BEFORE I NEED IT. THANKS FOR THE STUFF, FRENCHY!"
Transform, shouting "SUPER MAGICAL MUSICAL MAIDEN POWERS ACTIVATE!", and jump out the window.You shout your catchphrase and transform into a bright pink frilly magical girl. You open up your window and jump out.
Hmmm....A rally? Jim ponders to himself. If its full of people like this guy, then everyone who attends could be infected with a horrible case of choking. I could apply my talent to all of them!You read the leaflet as you walk away from the guy.
"Alright, alright. I'll forgive your debt for now and check out your rally. But if it doesn't meet my high expectations, then the next time you see me...I'll be expecting that twenty!"
Accept invitation. Read leaflet.
I've had a really stressful week...You open the door really quickly and smack the hobo in the face. He falls back, nose bleeding. He scrabbles away from your car and runs away.
Smack the door open really quickly, then slam it shut.
"Who do I %$@&ing look like to you? A drug addict? Buzz off before I call the cops."
"Curse these asiatic people. I am going to get in there and hurt them old man"You go to the building. There aren't any guards outside, and looking thorugh the glass doors there's only the receptionist on the ground floor.
Go to the place. When i am at the entrance or stuff like that, look around
Woo, lightspeed updates."Curse these asiatic people. I am going to get in there and hurt them old man"You go to the building. There aren't any guards outside, and looking thorugh the glass doors there's only the receptionist on the ground floor.
Go to the place. When i am at the entrance or stuff like that, look around
tell the reptionist i am here to "meet my doom"The receptionist talks to someone on the phone and tells you to take the elevator. You get in and it automatically selects the top floor. One rather long elevator ride with annoying music later and the doors open to reveal a large room. The middle of the room is taken up by a large fighting ring. At the other end theres a large chair, a throne made out of wood, polished metal and bones. Above the chair there are three corpses fo old men wearing traditional chinese clothing nailed to the wall. The man in the chair is bulging with muscles and wears a horned helmet. He's flanked by a couple of people in spandex uniforms. The ones in red spandex are pretty young, and look just like the three you beat earlier. There are also people in dark green spandex, but they look older and less pleased to be here.
"Well its Ring challenge not Weapon challenge."You try and summon a baseball bat. [2] You manage one of those foam training bats, perhaps not the mightiest of weapons. Gunny is taking off his jacket, revealing that his right arm is completely metal. A sparring round rises from the ground and you both step in. A crowd has started to form, rookies and other employees who want to watch you fight. You see that a few people are even taking bets.
Make baseball bat, smack him in the face!
Grab an outcropping on the wall, then press release. Then fire the grappling hook at something else... hopefully near something I can climb down from more easily...[4+1] You grab an outcropping with one hands and press release, easily hanging by just one arm. You then [3] fir the hook at another part of on the opposite side and swing over there, managing to land on a space where you can actually climb down. By the time you're on the ground again, you see that a crowd has formed around the fighting ring. The drill sargeant and your new sidekick seem to be going at it.
"NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED!"
Thank LaoZi, go check out that abandoned factory and see if I can build at least the shell of one of the animunculi in the book.You say your thanks to LaoZi, who gives you a smile and a polit enod of the head before going back to his little pond. You step out of his realm and back into your appartment.
Try to grab on to something, or use my powers to stop or slow my fall.[5] Channeling the power of the musical maidens, your skirt transofrms in a giant, pink, frilly marachute. You glide harmlessly to the sidewalk, where it transforms back into a normal skirt upon touching the ground.
Travel to the location specified on the pamphlet. Once I arrive, do some stretches to prepare for an evening of Heimlich maneuvering.You arrive at a big hall of some sort. It's one of those convention centers that people can hire for a day. There are posters claiming vague stuff like "the father provides" and "We need YOU for the new era". You do some vigorous stretching and then go inside. There's pockets of people spread out around the hall, with a large pocket concentrated around the complementary bar. There's also a few people in uniform walking around the place.
I should call the police.You grab the bag, lock your car and head on home. You throw your keys and the bag on the living room table and crash in the couch after a hard day's work. You take the orange glowing drug out of the bag and feel that's it's warm to the touch. Thinking what the heck, you eat the glowing drug.
I should call the police.
@#*& it. I'll leaving tomorrow. That's it! And I know just the kind of celebration I'm going to have.
Take the bag of drugs and put it on my jacket pocket. Then leave the car, lock it, and go home. Eat the glowing drug.
((Nah, you haven't met him yet. The Kahn is just a giant powered up asshole and Gunny is a hard-ass with no patience for new recruits. The Kahn is relatively small time and Gunny isn't a villain.))"Huh..."
Back to the elevator and leave the place like nothing ever happened
"Well. Your spandex guys suck, why don't you hire stronger people like you? But not me, cause i am a good person, and you guys are bad people!
Anyways, guess i'll fight the mightiest warrior in this building. I guess that's you? But you gotta remove the helmet first."
((Is the big bad guy the dude that i need to fight or the dude Delekates has to fight?))
((i have kinda sparring there, so u can place bet and continue ur journey, ill join in when this will end))You [5] jump up and summon a bloody big rock. You throw it down toward gunny, aiming for his face. Gunny [6->3] strikes out with his robotic arm, catching the rock when it's right in front of him. The rock splinters, showering the ring with shards of stone. Gunny, being right infront of the rocksplosion, has to shield his eyes from the splinters.
Make a giant rock and in a jump atack throw it right in his face.
"Lets have some fun YEAH!!!"
"YOU GOT THIS CUBE WONDER! I'M TOTALLY NOT DITCHING YOU RIGHT NOW!"To the great dread of whoever must do the insurances of this place, you grab another jeep and go for a drive. You drive around some of scenic routes near the base.
Hop into a car and go for a drive, he can catch up
"Time to find some people to save! I know just where to look!"You head over to the bar and, like an eagle on a treetop looking for tasty tiny mammals, keep an eye on everyone there for sudden choking. One guest puts his hand in front of his mouth and gives a tiny cough. Someone who isn't paying attention wouldn't have noticed, but you're on him like a velociraptor on a dumb gun-for-hire. You start performing lifesaving heimlich manoevre on him, ultimately ending in him vomiting up about half a dozen sandwiches onto the bar.
Head to the complementary bar and keep an eye out for choking people. Apply Heimlich maneuver whenever needed.
Try to find followers, to help me on my deeds.What, like, just find them lying in a ditch somewhere? "Followers" is mighty vague. Thinking about it, there's a few groups of people who might be into following someone with your powers. There's the College anime club, those people would be all over this. Then there's a goth-loli club who do these weekly gatherings where they all wear frilly clothes. You'd fit right in there. Other than that, you could always try to take over one of the smaller gangs, like the Disco Dangers or the High rollers. Those two are fairly small.
"It worked? Huh. I'll call you Rach."You flip through the book, but don't manage to find anything resembling a suit. There is a somewhat man-sized animunculi in here. It wouldn't be wholly impossible to make it slightly larger and mostly hollow so that it could be worn. You're sure Rach could find the parts, though you'll have to specify what materials you want to use. The recipe also asks for an "Other" to be melded with the suit, to provide power.
Flip through the book for something like a modified animunculi, maybe a modified shell or suit that could be worn by a person. If I find one, instruct Rach to collect materials and help me build it. If not, see if there is a doorway inside the building where I could carve LaoZi's symbol so I can visit him without having to go back to the house. Go to see LaoZi again and see if Rach can follow me into his realm.
Stumble into the shower and wash myself.You stumble into the shower and start washing off the soot. After a minute or two you remember to actually take off your clothes. The burns on your hands are gone, as if nothing had happened.

extreme fighting actionYou know you want to fight, extremely, and you make your move. Your indecisiveness on what exactly would be an extreme enoug way to attack makes it so that The Kahn can get in the first attack. He [3] vs [5] jabs out with his fist, tiny whisps of golden light sparking off. You manage to dodge it completely, [2] but fail to do anything in retalliation. The Khan [5] vs [4] spins around and throws his entire weight into the next punch. You manage to put up your arms in time, the punch sends a jolt of pain through both of your arms and you slide back a good four feet or so.
Go to the goth-loli club, for a sidekick!You go to the local park where the goth-loli club is having their annual sandwich picknick. You walk up to them and start babbling about being a magical girl and needing a sidekick to save the world. Most of them just ignore you, but one of the girls invites you to sit with her on her blanket and have a sandwich. The girl, Alice, is dressed in black and white goth-loli outfit with some red accents and seems quite interested in becoming your sidekick. She does ask what it would require from her to become a sidekick, though.
"Eh, weren't you paying attention? I just saved a man's life! You should thank me! Don't you know? Choking is the number 1 cause of death at places with food! If I don't help these poor vulnerable people, who will?"The man, who looks quite angry, nevertheless listens to your explenation. [2] You try to explain why your actions are actually heroic as hell, but the fact that you continue to heimlich the poor guy while you're explaining doesn't seem to aid your cause. After the third time the guy vomits, the uniformed man cuts you off.
Attempt to persuade the uninformed uniformed man of my heroics.
After finishing, stay inside the bathroom and try to summon some fire.You finish washing yourself and go have a sit down on the loo. Man, those drugs were a real trip right? Not like you coudl just focus a bit and wave your hand like so and fire would just come out, right?
Am I really that desperate that I'll start pretending a drug overdose gave me superpowers?
Make a Lamp Pole, biggest i can imagine, and smack foes legs!You attempt to summon a big ass lamp pole! [6 -> 3] You summon one of those big ass lamp poles that you see on the side of highways. It immediatly starts falling to the ground. You [4] realize that there's no way in hell any sane human could even think of lifting something that heavy jump out of the way. Gunny [2] manages to get his fleshy arm pinned underneath the lamp post. It looks pretty much completely squished about halway from his shoulder to his elbow. He gives a scream of pain, but then takes out his combat knife and starts sawing off the arm. He stands back up, blood pouring from the stump.
"Yeeeeeeaaaaaah!!!!"
"THAT'S JUST GUM, CHEW A PIECE IF YOU WANT, BUT DON'T SWALLOW IT. HOW'D YOU GET IN MY CAR, MERLIN?"You manage to stay calm and keep on driving at a relaxed pace. The wizard puts a piece of gum in his mouth.
Keep driving, hopefully not crashing
Google LaoZi. After that, look in the daemones book for Sun Tzu and the required ritual for him, along with Alexander the Great. Have Rach find the strongest metal possible in here that isn't part of the building or the machinery to build that human animunculi as it is in the book. Also, Google the strongest common metal that could be bought at a metalworks or hobby store. Oh, and Google the kind of metal they use for tank armor.Hoo boy. Right, first you google LaoZi. Wikipedia, no matter what universe you find yourself in, is always there like a good friend: LaoZi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi)
"ITS NOT OVER YET"[4] You manage to summon a pretty big battleaxe and [3] vs [6 ->5] you take a swing at Gunny. He sees it coming though, and grabs the handle of the axe and yanks it towards him, sending you tumbling to the ground. You look up, and he's got the axe raised above your head, holding it easily in one hand. You notice his stump has stopped bleeding, and reddish flesh is growing out of it in the shape of a new arm.
Summons barbarian axe and quickly slides to general and makes attempt to take his second arm.
"uUUughhhhhh"
Wow...You will the flame to go away, and it dies out. You head over to your living room to try the other drug. Unfortunately, it's just a pile of ash now. So is the table. And the crossword magazines. And the novelty toothpick dispenser. Even that vintage comic that was on top of the table. Darn.
...I wonder what the other one does?
Extinguish the flame and take the other drug.
Tell her that it will probably take up a lot of her life, and she needs to keep her identity a secret. Also, tell her that her sidekick identity must be independent from mine, because becoming a hero because you idolize one, tends not to work out, and ask her what skills she has.She seems rather flustered by all of this. In response to your last quesion she says that she likes cooking and making dresses. You get the feeling that she isn't all that optimistic about this after all.
"SURE THING, BEARDO... MAGNUS... GUY... YOU WANT ME TO DROP YOU OFF SOMEWHERE?""Magnus. Magnus Barbam. And no, I don't really have a specific place I need to be. I just hopped over to this dimension because I need to warn some people. How about this, treat me to some dinner and I'll tell you all about it? Dimension hopping leaves one hungry." He points to his stomach. "The contents get left behind when you switch dimensions, you see."
"Ok, I see how it is. You just can't comprehend the life-saving goodness of the legendary Heimlich Maneuver. I think I know how to help!"You [2+1] rush behind the guy and grab him around the waist. The two of you struggle a bit, you trying to heimlich some respect into him and him trying to escape your grasp. Two more uniformed men come hurrying towards you and peel you off of the first guy. They take hold of you and drag you outside, throwing you on the sidewalk and slamming the doors to the covention centre shut.
Rush behind the uniformed man and apply the Heimlich Maneuver. Continue applying it until he shows the proper respect for this cherished technique.
Have Rach gather the steel. With Rach's help, try to build the human animunculi, hollowed out to act as a suit. Afterwards, search through daemones et diis for a spirit of battke, combat, or tactics, with an S rating.And if I can, flip through the animunculi book for weapons to integrate into the suit.While Rach skitters around the place, dragging chunks and pieces of metal to and fro, you flip through the daemones et diis for S rank spirits. You find none of the categories you're looking for withing the S ranks.
"Wait so i didn't attack? Dafuq am i doing?"You [6 -> 4] Rush in, seemingly going for a body shot. The Khan starts to block, but you quickly twist your body so you punch him in the face. You can feel his nose breaking, and he flies backwards. He lands on his back, blood streaming from his nose. He seems pretty dazed, but is starting to come to.
Punch him in za face!
GET IN THERE((how far are you willing to go in punching him?))
AND BY GET IN THERE I MEAN PUNCH HIM MORE
GET IN THERE((how far are you willing to go in punching him?))
AND BY GET IN THERE I MEAN PUNCH HIM MORE
((Naw dog, I mean like, unless you seriously fuck up the next roll you pretty much have him at your mercy here. How bad do you want to hurt him? "mommy, I hurt myself", "holy shit, call an ambulance", "Say thine prayers, uncouth swine", "Better order some gravestone catalogs, this guy's had it"?))GET IN THERE((how far are you willing to go in punching him?))
AND BY GET IN THERE I MEAN PUNCH HIM MORE
((i edited action ))
GET IN THERE[5] yup. You sit down on his chest before he can really get his shit together and just start pummeling his face. Once the eyes are swollen, nose broken and most of the front teeth are gone you stand back up. The Khan is just gurling on the ground, and nobody is saying something. It seems everyone is waiting for the next person to speak first.
AND BY GET IN THERE I MEAN turn around him so that i am facing his head and punch him there b]
Well, I guess I never have to use the stove anymore. What would this superpower be useful for, anyway? It's not like I can just...You put on your trusty coat and hat, popping the collar for maximum mysteriousness. You roll up the sleeves and exit into the next. You are the vengeance, you are the night, you are...George!
I will be the world's first vigilante. Why leave this damn city if I can just clean it up instead?
Put on dry clothes. Put on a coat with a high collar and turn the collar up to cover my face. Put on a fedora and have it cover my eyes. Roll up my sleeves. Then go outside, into the night!
Jim gets up and dusts himself off, his face showing bitter anger.You call both the local cops and the council special constabulary, but neither of them actually listen to what you have to say. You call up a small crime fighting firm, a merc company called Hercules Inc. The woman on the phone seems to note down what you've said and she says they will monitor this group and take action should the situation develop. She thanks you for your vigilance, citizen.
This is a travesty! These people have no respect for up and coming medical professionals! This kind of behavior shouldn't be tolerated in a civilized society!
Suddenly a thought struck Jim's mind.
Hm, if they are so hostile to heroic people, then perhaps....they might be villainous! Of course! That would explain why they couldn't tolerate my presence. They're probably worried that I'll figure out their evil plans. Well, I know how to stop their villainy!
Find a phone and call the police, the FBI, the military, and any other crime-fighting groups that I know of. Tell them that I discovered an evil group is plotting terror at the local convention center. Be sure to describe how I was mistreated, despite being nothing more than a pure-hearted and merciful man of medicine.
Tell her that's fine, and she doesn't need to be my sidekick. Then run off, in search of people to save.YOu tell her that's fine and do a runner before the girl can actually respond. You stop running when you're on the opposite end of the park and look for people to save. Things seem pretty quiet, but a small crowd has formed near the lake. Seems like something interesting is going on there.
Carve the portal to LaoZi in the factory. Look through the book for spirits or beings of combat, battle, and/or tactics, regardless of rank, then Google all of them. Go through the doorway and ask LaoZi about them as well.That's, uh, that's a lot of spirits. I'm just gonna give you a two for each category. I assume you can put the names into wikipedia yourself? If none of these catch your eye, send me a pm so we can get the "look up names" stuff done faster.
Shotgun his head. Shotgun the woman's head. Kidnap the child and make him a proud American.Well well well. So, two heads that resemble smashed and burned watermelons later and you find yourself trying to drag the kid with you to make a proud American of him. The kid is truggling, crying about his mother and trying to get free of your grasp and get to the body of the woman. You can hear police sirens in the distance.
"SURE, I DON'T THINK I'VE EATEN SINCE BEFORE I GOT SERUMED UP SO I'LL GRAB SOMETHING TOO. ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR?""Oh no, I'm just rather hungry. Anything that will fill me up is fine."
Head to whatever place sells what he asks for. If he asks for something this town doesn't have just head to a burger place and order for him.
"K now gib me gurl pls thxThe two colours of spandex immediatly start bickering.
"DAMN, SO WE NEED HEROES, AND FAST..."People stop eating for a bit, before awkwardly mumbling to eachother and continueing on. Only a frail looking old man comes up to you.
Stand up and shout to everyone in the restaurant
"ANYONE WILLING TO HELP FIGHT OFF A DRAGON/DEMON INCURSION IF I CAN GET WEAPONS?"
Ahhh, it's good to be appreciated.You walk down the street, content with a job well done. Those weirdos are going to get what's coming to them for sure now, all thanks to you!
Absentmindedly walk down the street with my guard down, while smiling proudly.
"AH, YOU'VE SEEN DEMONS BEFORE! EXCELLENT, HOW DO WE BEAT THEM?""You shoot them until they die, sonny jim. They're hard to kill and they ain't afraid. But a good blast of the old flamethrower kills them slant eyed devils just as good as anything, yes sirree. Tojo likes to think they're invincible, but they're not."
Find out what the commotion is.You go and check out the pond. On a large stone in the middle there's a beautiful woman playing a harp. The gathered crowd seems quite taken in by the song. You also notice that the woman does not have legs, but rather a tail like a fish.
Look for crime in these crime-ridden, filthy streets!You go outside, being all mysterious and prowling around for any ne'er-do-wells. You go into a random alley, because that's where bad stuff happens, right? And what luck! There's someone here!
Time take out the trash.
I probably look quite dopey in this attire. Hopefully a little mysterious.
((Guan Yu all the way. I wonder if I can incorporate the Green Dragon Crescent Blade into the suit. Also, seems like the book is categorized by Spirits, Creatures, Deities, and the ! is the chief deity of the pantheon. Hey wait, what category is Liu Bei under?))Yep, it works. An apparition of Guan Yu suddenly stands before you. A transparant greenish phantom of the man himself.
Look up the ritual for Guan Yu. If it isn't too complex, try it. If it succeeds, there will be talking.
If the ritual works:
"Guan Sheng Di Jun, The General that Rocks Bandits, Liu Bei's most loyal and righteous general. Truly, it is an honor to be in your presence."
((omg i missed my move and didnt mentioned ;_; sorry))You and Gunny salute eachother, and the gathered crowd gives you both an applause before dispersing.
"Good training general, hope we fight often to get my skillz on next level!"
Stands and pays respect... POP.

"Hey, i don't want to be your stupid leader. I just want you to do what you should do and leave this place. And also pay me because you burned my house, you jeeeerks"The red spandex dudes clearly aren't backing down. They all take up fighting positions and start circling you. The two green spandex guys grab their weapons. One has a bo staff, the other a sword. Shit's going to get real any second now.
Say the following line with full Arnold:You deliver your line, channeling the full speech impedement of Arnold. The kid, scared out of his mind, actually doesn't fight back. You grab him by the hand and book it out of there, heading back to your appartment. The kid is sitting on the couch, with a thuosand yard stare.If he refuses, kill him. If he agrees, take him to my hideout and make him my loyal sidekick.Spoiler: *wink (click to show/hide)
I could fight like big hero. And risk death.You wait for the reds to make their move. As one, they surge forwards, encircling you. Two of them get met head on by the green spandex guys, but four of them are still coming for you. You prepare your circle punch attack and [6 -> 4] small whisps of golden yellow energy crackle along your arm. With remarkable speed and a power you didn't know you had, you spin around and hit each of the reds. They go flying back, landing several meters away from you. The yellow energy seems to be building up, and you feel as though you're being watched.
On the other hand, i could nope away, take the elevator and pretend nothing happened.
But i will...
Wait until all the red boys are close to me, and do the 360 degrees punch to get them all, or none of them.
"Uh...Hi there! You lost buddy? Need any help?"When you speak, the creature turns toward you. The middle of the ball of flesh starts to part, revealing rows upon rows of teeth. It hisses and starts waddling towards you with its tiny legs, knife raised. It looks pretty comical, but it's picking up a surprising amount of speed.
Attempt to communicate with the creature. Befriend it if possible.
Make this kid into my sidekick.[5] With the power of your great American spirit, you somehow convince the kid whose mother you just murdered that she was commie scum and that he should become your sidekick. Somehow. You may choose your sidekick's name if you want, together with your action for next turn.
"I need your help. The warriors who once defended our world have vanished. The criminals have decided that this is a good time to increase their activities, threatening others. I want to fight them, to show them they can't get away with whatever they please. To that end, I have built a suit which I found a design for in a book. It requires the strength of what it calls an "Other" to power it. I assume it is some sort of obfuscation for spirits, gods, and other such beings, although I think it would have been easier to just say that. I was hoping you would be willing to help me by powering the suit and helping me to stop the criminals. It would also give you a chance to see the world again, and maybe fight a few strong warriors if that interests you.""Your words ring true, young man. I shall aid you, for now. It will be good to see the realm of the living again."
Politely ask for help, with any necessary bowing. If he agrees, also politely ask if it would be possible to summon the Green Dragon Crescent Blade as the suit's armament
Get back and ask if i can join spec.forces.You head over to the hangar bay. A group of people are gearing up, and three helicopters are being wheeled over to the take off pads. Gunny walks up behind you and says that they're getting ready to see waht's up in the city. You ask him if you can join the spec ops.
Examine arsenal of nonlethal weaponsLike, right where you are? You've got you baton, that's non lethal if you can keep yourself from smashing their skulls with it. You're pretty good at hand-to-hand too. There's a can of mace tocked away in one of your suit pockets, too.
"WELL, THIS MIGHT BE PROBLEMATIC... GOOD LUCK ON YOUR OWN FIGHTS, CITIZENS! THOSE DEMONS WILL SURELY FIND WE ARE NO FORCE TO BE TRIFLED WITH."
Hope dragons are weak to electricity ((yes, those are my actions))
Walk up to him silently.You walk up to guy as silently as you can and say your words. He turns around, he's holding a copy of last month's hustler.
"Such enigmatic silence enkindles suspicion."
Damn, I sound awesome!
Say hi to the woman.You say hi to the woman, and she looks at you and smiles. [4] You can feel a tingling at the back of your head, some kind of influence trying to invade your mind. You manage to shake it off.
Bamp-ba-boomp.Bamp-ba-bim
Look at the bodies without getting closer to him.You take a glance at the body, singular, and notice the hand is twitching.
"Evil sinner, enjoy sizzling excruciatingly."
Shoot flame from my hand at him!
"DAMMIT, LOOKS LIKE I CAN'T GET ANY INTROSPECTION GOING. OH WELL, BACK TO IT!"You take your signature weapons and rush towards the gunshots. You find a lone policeman aiming his pistol at enemies, switching between targets. There are four of them, people in chainmail holding a shield and sword. There is one more on the ground. By the blood and the holes in his shield, you can assume he tried to rush the cop and paid the price.
Charge toward the sounds of gunshots, baton and shield at the ready
"Oh can you see my power aura? I have a power aura! You better run!"
Try to apply my power aura to someone. Or just kick them
"Okay okay 'PoP' i got it!"You put on one of the vests and put three smoke grenades into the grenade holsters. Suddenly, Gunny yells "Ten-HUT" and every stands at attention. A man flanked by two soldiers in heavy combat armour with full helmets walks in. He's wearing olive drab military gear and has got an eyepatch over one eye. Gunny goes over to him.
Go to the racks and get vest and some smoke granades, then rush to the helicopter!
The sidekick shall be known as Nicky Action. Get him a baseball bat, an outfit similar to mine and steal or otherwise get him a colt M1911 akimbo.baseball bat and similar outfit check. Akimbo 1911's not check, because we said you splurged your savings on buying the arsenal on your back. You get him one 1911, but now your funds are all gone.
Checklist:
A helicopter
A boombox
A cd with the "Ride of the Valkyries"
I try to get all of the above items.
"Ok buddy I don't appreciate you bearing your teeth at me. It looks like your full of evil intent, but I know how to get it oughta ya!"[3] The thing is pretty fast ina straight line, but it can't exactly turn well. You manage to get behind it and get your arms around it. You fail to find a good spot to start heimliching though, and the two of you are just stuck in a sort of awkward hug. Damn these spherical enemies!
Maneuver behind the creature and perform the Heimlich maneuver until the creature vomits up all its malevolence.
Use my wand to shoot the creature.[5] Pururin~! You shot into the water, and the bubbles quickly turn into patches of blood floating to the surface. The people watching the water snap out of some kind of trance the moment you hit the last puddle, and the crowd starts to disperse. Justice has been served!
"Thank you for your willingness to assist me. Hey, do you think you could allow the suit to fly? It would be easier to do reconnaissance from the air "Well, the factory only has one great big steel door for an entrance. So you could just lock it. If you want magic, you can either try to get a guardian spirit, or turn it into a portal similar to Lao Tzu, only make it a nasty spirit. We can do this retroactively to keep things moving along.
Walk outside the factory. Listen and look for trouble, preferably by flying if I can. But first, maybe see if we can lock the factory through magic. Wouldn't want random people going in there and finding my stuff.
Oh, and also. I still have that backpack full o' gun, right? I'd like to gift it to Beo, the amazing gun store owner.remind me again what this backpack is and where you got it?
After my glorious battle in the shop at the very begining I looted the dudes that were robbing (?) it. I stuffed that loot then into a backpack, I think it was a sawn off double barrelled shotgun, a handgun and an UZI, I think.Ah, that bag. yup, you've still got it stashed at your place.
You head over to a local news station building. You take the fire escape up to the roof. There's a helicopter with its blades already spinning, and the news crew is getting ready to depart.Dig deeper in ass
Go to a helipad with my sidekick and all my equipment.
David thinks in his confused mindYou take this moment to look around for the girl. She has, quite smartly, used the time where the lot of you were fighting to crawl behind a sturdy looking bench.
"Wait, so the green guys are helping me? And I have some dude talking in my head? My friends will never believe dis"
look around for a second. Where is the person I was supposed to save?
AND THEN TRY TO LAUNCH SOMEONE INTO THE WALL, OR EVEN BETTER OUTSIDE A WINDOW. GOTTA SEE HOW MUCH POWER I HAVE.
((metal gear reference lolololoolol :P ))You form up with team two and head east. [4+1] You summon a sturdy tower shield, nice. The guys keep in formation, two at the front and two at the sides with you bringing up the rear.
Goes with team2. Summon Tower shield.
"EVERYONE FREEZE!"You run past the cop to the knights and shout at them. They clearly weren't expecting someone rushing at them from the side. You [3+1] Hit one of the knights in the shoulder. The shock from the stun baton sends him convulsing to the floor. The knight beside him tries to take a swipe at you. [5] vs [6 -> 4] The guy aims true, but even his perfectly aimed swipe is no match for your apex senses. You block his sword arm with your left arm, stopping it dead mid-swing. You press the stun button again and jam the baton between his helmet and breastplate. The guy goes stiff as you shock him for a few seconds before sliding to the ground in a heap of chainmail. You flinch as you hear three gunshots behind you. Looking back, the third knight tried to charge the cop as you were attacking, but the cop appears to have done a mozambique drill no the guy.
Hit the knights with my stun baton
((A guardian spirit would be nice.))You don't, actually.
"Looks like it's time to establish air superiority."
Do I have ranged attacks? If so, fire a warning shot while on approach. If not, get up in his grill and politely ask him to land. Watch our for arrows, teeth, tails, poison, and claws. If he shoots first, tackle him off the wyvern.
It seems the Heimlich alone won't be enough. I'll have to innovate!Not to be deterred from your god given mission to heilich everything, you brace yourself for another try. [3+1] You spread your legs and squeeze your arms as hard as you can. What follows is something worthy of the very best wrestling matches. You heimlich the creature hard enough that it starts spewing out greenish fluid, while you're also doing what's basically a suplex. This all results in a nice rainbow of green fluid arcing through the air and the creature getting its head cracked onto the concrete.
Simultaneously perform the Heimlich maneuver and a power-slam on the creature.
Consider it done.Oh, and also. I still have that backpack full o' gun, right? I'd like to gift it to Beo, the amazing gun store owner.
Actually, I equip my sidekick with the guns from the backpack. Ol' gunstore gunman will have to wait.
You forgot my action! :(((I did? I did! Fuck. Sorry))
Approach the body carefully, without stepping too close to it.You take a few steps closer, careful to keep some distance. The person is now sitting upright. The head snaps in your direction as you put your foot down, two milky eyes with black tears streaming down staring at you. The jaw hangs open and the person groands. They're now struggling upright and trying to get to you.
"Do whatever you want. I don't even care."The girl seems to be doing fine, though she's pretty shaken by all of this.
go check how the girl is doing.
"So what do you green guys want to do? I suppose you want to stop wearing this spandex crap right?"
"YOU OK, BLUE-BACK?"Someone has had the foresight of putting zip ties in one your suits' pockets. You tie up the unconscious but still lviign knights with them.
Tie up the knights... well, the ones that are still alive anyway
Search the creature's corpse for anything useful, and by useful, I mean stuff that I can use in my quest to Heimlich the world into peaceful submission. I don't want no cruddy knives or magical artifacts! I need me some proper Heimliching gloves!Well, you root around the little sphere demon's corpse but you don't find any heimliching gloves. Darn, first amazon doesn't stock them and now random demons from other dimensions don't carry them either. Don't people realize how important they are?
[6+1 -> 1+1] You get to the helicopter and yank the pilot out of the cockpit. The guy falls to the ground, slides off the helicopter platfrom, bounces off of some camera equipment on the ground and goes tumbling off the side of the building. Your young sidekick takes place in the copilot seat and is keeping the journalist from doing anything stupid.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Get in the helicopter, kick the pilot out and fly up with my sidekick and the journalists.
"So much for being polite."[4+1] As the rider turns to loose another arrow you quickly dive down. The ride is heard yelling and looking frantically around him. You shoot upwards and cut off the head of the wyvern with the crescent blade, sending both the wyvern and rider tumbling down. The wyvern's data on the HUD flashes out as you cut the head off, and the rider's does the same once they smack into the road below.
Cut the wyvern and rider out of the sky with the Guan dao.
(as mgs fun - story and game overall is VERY bad. Gameplay though 10/10.)"Right, watch our rear then, we're going in."
"I am rookie, i would prefer to help and complete orders" silenced PoP
Leave the place!You leave the park! Or at least, you try to, but you don't get very far. The police have sealed off nearly all car traffic and the metro isn't running due to "technical difficulties". They're also suggesting that people evacuate to the underground shelters and that people do not go to the center of the city.
Flame them in the face!You [2+1] flame them in the face! You misjudged the amount of flame a face would need, and now the person is coming at you like a flailing candlestick. It [1-1] vs [whatever] trips and faceplants to the ground. It struggles to get up again. You casually take a few steps back and flame it from a safe distance until it stops moving. If all of the enemies are like this guy, this will be over in a jiffy!
Look for more scum to fry.You go out of the alley and look for more scum to fry. You follow the opposite direction fo the stream of panicking people, heading to the center of the city.
"Ok. I have a few questions: what did you guys do before? Why do you like the Khan so much? What's up with that power aura I have and that guy in my head talking?""We did not like the Khan at all. We were the honour guard of the three heavenly masters, who guarded the secret techniques of the zodiac. During the last tournament, the Khan won. Only instead of taking his rightful place as a Zodiac champion, he murdered the masters and took over this place. I do not know about the voice, I am but a humble guard."
And then to the girl
"Huh, I guess you can go do whatever you want now.I guess we'll meet again in the gym. I gotta sort some weird action out now"
"Okay then, lets proceed with extra cautious" PoPYou and the four men continue pushing deep into the city now, moving towards the center. The front guy checks the corner with his little mirror again.
Go with group.
Look around for where the wyvern and rider might have come from. Go there.You start wondering where the rider may have come from. Your hud suddenly shows a waypoint, and a predicted path that leads to the center of the city. You start going there. Coming close, your Hud zooms in ahead. Over the center of city, near the council building, the airspace is filled with flying nasties. they're too far to make out what exactly they are, but there's at least ten circling overhead.
Stuff the knights into the trunk of my car and head to the main square.You grab the unconscious knights and stuff them in the trunk. The policeman shrugs and gets into the passenger seat. You drive towards the main square, encountering less and less people the deeper you get into the city.
"HOP IN, LITTLE BOY BLUE! WE'LL STOP THOSE BIG BAD KNIGHTS!"
Hero stuff, to make sure I don't forget:Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Find a bunker.You follow the stream of people to one of the fallout bunkers. You take a seat near the entrance. It feels like you're a sardine in a can, but at least you're safe for now, right?
Grab hold of the corpse, and drag it with me until I can find a crowd of people. Then present a PSA on the dangers of choking, and show them the monster corpse. Tell them that what they see here is a literal manifestation of "Choking" that was vanquished through the use of a phenomenal technique called the Heimlich Maneuver. Offer to teach this impressive technique to anyone who wishes to assist me in my quest to vanquish "Choking" in its many evil forms.You drag the corpse in in front of a crowd of people gathering near a police station. You explain the heimlich manoevre and all that jazz. Three guys actually take up your offer to be taught. Another step to a choke free world.
Start practicing yoga.You attempt to start practicing yoga, much to the annoyance of the people packed into the bunker with you. In fact, there really isn't enough to stretch at all, you keep hitting the guy standing in front of you. He shoots you a dirty look.
Toss a stun grenade into the crowd and brace for the charge, I'll save the tear gas for the armored guys

"How about we give em some flash granades?"From both sides of the bus flashbangs come tumbling through the sky. They land amidst the horde of zombies surrounding the bus and go off one by one. The flashbangs obviously have an effect on the zombies, most of them are now wandering out aimlessly instead of attacking the bus, taking swipes at eachother when they bump into another zombie.
Psh. I can't die, I am the American Dream. I stabilize the chopper, go really high up, and then charge at the dargon from the direction of the sun.[5] The dragon loses sight of the chopper. He starts hearing a sound not long after. He looks at its direction, but is blinded by sunlight.
See if any of those flying things break off from the others. If so, take it down once it gets a good distance away from them. If not, get close enough to recognize what the flying things are and see if my HUD can show possible routes for hit-and-run strikes.None of them break off from their formation, so you start getting closer. You flew behind a large building, getting low to hide your presence. You land on the roof and zoom in your HUD as far as it will go. Well. You can tell what they are. They're giant floating eyeballs. Just, giant, floating eyeballs. Man, what the fuck is even going on here?
Teach my three students how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver. Then tell the three of them to search out more people and spread the technique to those they find, telling their students to do the same. The whole world must be converted over to the cause of choke-prevention! After my anti-choking disciples leave to spread the good maneuver, travel to the local radio station. Convince the radio hosts that I'm with the American Throat Association and ask if I can give a short PSA on the radio about how people can avoid the dangers of choking and a special technique that can save a choking person's life.[4+1] The three men learn the heimlich manoevre rather quickly, and on your orders set out to teach even more people.
"Alright then! Listen here, from now on we will use our zodiac techniques to bring justice all over the world! Or at least I will. You guys, do what ya want."You exit the building, leaving the green spandex guys to do whatever they damn well please. THe gym is deserted, which really just means you won't have to wait to use any of the equipment.
and then go to the gym! Maybe talk to the guy in my head or something.
Sit down, angrily, and stat texting my friends.You give the guy an angry glare and sit down again. [3] You start texting your friends and twitter followers. The response you get is lukewarm at best, and you don't get many retweets either. Some of your followers report that they've been sitting in similar bunkers for nearly 12 hours now.
"YOU STILL THERE LITTLE BOY BLUE? WE MIGHT HAVE TO GET OUR HANDS DIRTY FOR THIS ONE.""Oh shit! You're nuts!" Little blue yells as you charge the zombies. You [2+1] swipe at them with your baton, but all you really manage to do is bash their arms away when they lunge for you.
Shout to draw the zombies' attention and start bashing them with my stun baton.
"HAVE AT THEE!"Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Can my HUD show any of the eyeball's info, like abilities and what not? If so, study it. If not, fly in there and mince them. Hit and run tactics. Watch out for beams and ranged attacks.The hud doesn't show anything, but your friendly spirit has some advice.
Go on air. Introduce myself as Doctor H.M. Begin my PSA by acknowledging the terror that is plaguing the people of this city, especially families. As people sit down to enjoy their meal, many of them are shocked to experience the terror of their food turning against them. Yes, the dreaded throat clogging of death! Describe in great detail the numerous cases of death by choking. Warn my audience of the need to practice safe eating habits and to be prepared when their food turns against them. Tell my listeners that they can ready themselves to combat the plague of food-related suffocation by learning the incredible technique commonly referred to as the Heimlich Maneuver. Finish my PSA by telling my audience that if they wish to learn this technique, they can visit me at the local radio station and I will teach them.You do exactly that. You put on your best radio voice and give a fairly eloquent speech, describing everything quite vividly. You head outside and wait. Within the hour a smallish group of about 10 people has turned up. You teach them the finer points of heimliching like a champ and, just as with your previous three disciples, you send them on their way to teach even more people. With every step, the eradication of choking seems to be getting nearer.
Then go outside and wait. If anyone approaches and wants to learn the Heimlich Maneuver, then teach them. Choking must be vanquished!
"Prove my strenght? Alright!"[3+1] You put as many weights on the barbell as you possibly can and start bench pressing like it's nobody's business.
go to the heaviest freaking thing and do the lifting.
May I join?I'm going to say yes, since we've had a player drop out recently anyway.

Damien will take the phone and activate it, after searching it for bugs. If no bugs are found, he will open the hero app and scan his thumbprint. "So, they managed to find me, huh? Impressive." After signing up, he walks over to his couch and turns on the TV. When he hears the snippet about the people disappearing in Residential District 6, he frowns. Looks like he's got his first job. Grabbing his hat, coat, bandanna mask, and hacking phone, he heads out to the district in question to ask a few people about the disappearances.You scan the thing for bugs or other monitoring software. [3+1] You have to fiddle with some menus, but you don't find anything of the sort.
Apply the teal phone case, activate the hero app and register.You apply the teal phone case. Your sense of branding is strong, something that will surely help you down the line. You make an account and register all the necessary info. You notice that several others have applied to the program as well, though you can only see their alias, not their real name. There's a messaging service build into the app as well. That might come in handy.
"FINALLY, A RANKING SYSTEM SO I CAN SHOW OFF MY AWESOME HEROICNESS! WHAT? ONLY FIRST RANK? FINE, GUESS WE'RE STARTING OFF EVEN THEN! ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GO AFTER THE BANK OR PYRO, ALL ABOARD THE TEAL WHEEL!"
"Ooohhhh, I'm now an official hero! OHMIGODOHMIGOD!!!!" Diane momentarily freaks out, and then grabs the smartphone. She then opens the hero app, still jumping for joy inside, and scans her thumbprint. It says: Dayonecia "Diane" Washington. "They know my real name?" Diane wonders in confusion, and then starts to check what disturbances there are. She sees the news about the cruise ship, and shouts:"Magical Music Maiden powers, ACTIVATE!" After transforming, Diane goes to her closet, to get her costume.Sassy magical girl, away! You start singing your song and go over to the harbour [automatic win because it's just walking for christs sake +1 due to appropraite song] You get there in record time. You can see the cruise ship in the distance, it looks like a tiny little thing from here. It's not on fire or anything, not smoke coming rom it either. It's just, there, floating about.After changing, Diane sets off, singing "You Can't Hurry Love", to the harbor.Spoiler: Diane (Dayonecia)'s Costume Photo Reference, and Appearance (click to show/hide)
"Looks like a good time to show this zodiac guy how strong I am! And gain some money!"You apply the bright green phone case. The phone does indeed have an internet browser and facebook loads up just fine. Looks like your friend reopened her gym recently. Nice.
Apply green phone case to phone, then switch it on, see if I can go on the internet, check facebook if I can, then use the hero app.
((I never provided an action, did I?))You activate the phones and register. Since you haven't really chosen a hero name yet, the phone defaults you to "heimlichman". You also get the tab with disturbances and the messenger service.QuoteShould you wish to join you must simply activate the included smartphone, open the hero app and scan your thumbprint.

((Also, I sent you a PM to work out the time skip suit stuff, Pancaek.))
Diane then starts to scroll through the names of other heroes, and sees "Heimlich Man? Who the hell would name THEMSELVES Heimlich Man?", and then sends him a message that she is by the harbor, looking at the ship.
Diane then starts to scroll through the names of other heroes, and sees "Heimlich Man? Who the hell would name THEMSELVES Heimlich Man?", and then sends him a message that she is by the harbor, looking at the ship. She now starts singing "Sitting by the Dock of The Bay", and tries to use her powers to fly over to the ship, with her weave whipping in the wind.You [3+1] Fly over to the ship at a relaxed pace, weave whipping in the wind. The ship is a rather large cruiser, but you don't see anyone on the top deck. The hot tubs and the swimming pool are empty, as are the little bars. You do see something slither along the side of the ship, but you can't get a decent look at it before it slides into one of the cabins.
Diane then starts to scroll through the names of other heroes, and sees "Heimlich Man? Who the hell would name THEMSELVES Heimlich Man?", and then sends him a message that she is by the harbor, looking at the ship.
Seeing the message, Jim decides that he'll don his costume and head out. He could always use new allies in his never-ending battle against the scourge of clogged throats. He walks into his closet and pulls out a tuxedo, a small red baby blanket, scotch tape, a black permanent marker, and several of the anti-choking posters he made a few weeks back. He puts on the tuxedo, wraps the small blanket around his neck like a cape, and starts taping the posters to his outfit. Afterward, he walks up to a mirror and carefully writes the words Heimlich Man across the poster taped to his chest. Unfortunately, not fully aware of the mechanics of mirror images, Jim doesn't realize that he actually wrote the words backwards. Jim rushes out of his apartment, yelling anti-choking slogans as he goes.
Go to the Harbor. Keep an eye out for any fiends that need to be disciplined with the almighty Heimlich Maneuver.
Send everyone the message: "Hi! I'm SuperDavid! I have the zodiac power!"
And then check the disturbances and go to the bank
Head to the bank! There is crime to avert! And sparkle bitch isn't there!The two of you head to the bank, arriving from the same street by chance. The bank itself looks fairly normal from the outside, except for the face that the streets are empty. The only thing out of order from the outside that you can see is that large bugs are lazely flying around the building.
Noticing the messages, Watcher replies with one of his own. "My name's Watcher. Currently investigating the disappearances."You look around for a camera. You find one in an ATM across the street from where the hobo spoke to you. You [3+1] hack into it, putting the feed from the date of the kidnapping on your phone. A whole lot of nothing special happens for most of the evening. When it gets darker though, a strange mist suddenly appears from the right of the screen. You see a person holding a shopping bag walking at the other side of the street. Something, you're not sure what, creeps up behind the person. It's humanoid, but at least a head larger than the person. You see it grab the person from behind and lift him up effortlessly, and run back to the right of the screen. The mist subsides soon afterwards.
Look around. Are there any cameras nearby? If so, attempt to hack into them.
sorry, suddenly lost interest in txt games. Maybe i would like to return, i dont know.Sorry to see you go. Feel free to jump back in whenever should you ever feel like it.
Bob got call from hospital:
"Bob, we understand there are aliens and shiet, but return to ur MedBrother duty!"
Bob's vision blurred, then "POP": "I would like to stay, but got to run, sorry!"
oh and i see game changed a bit
way to go dude!
Actually its second time gm asking to speed up game. Really i enjoyed every thing about this game.
If u feel u need to change something - just do it, imo.
"Bloody hell!"
Enter the bank! Get in there!
Kick in the door, nothing could possibly go wrong with this planBob and David run up to the bank door, completely unopposed. A few of the fat beetles fly away, getting out of your way. David kicks in the door and shouts in his characteristically loud voice. inside, the bank employees are behind their desks, holding up their hands. The air is filled with even more beetles than outside. The floor in front of the desks is occupied by visitors lying on the ground with their hands on their heads. In front of the desks is a guy with his back to you, wearing a large purple cape. He turns around after you shout, the cloak twirling in the air with a very dramatic effect.
"KNOCK KNOCK! HOPE EVERYONE'S ALIVE IN THERE!"
Spruce checks the alerts on his phone and notices the one about the robotics facility. "Hmm, looks like that one had a pretty low chance of people getting in the line of fire. Everything else is just property damage. That should serve as a good test for Archmage." He states, mostly to himself as he heads to his lab/abandoned chicken factory.You grab your new archmage suit and head over to the location of the robotics factory. You circle overhead a few times before going down. The facility is a boring, concrete building. It's fairly large, but you know from the app that it has more levels underground. You don't notice anything from the outside, so you go down to the main entrance. The door hisses open as you approach and you enter the lobby.
Take "Archmage" suit and go check out the robotics factory.
Diane stops to catch her breath for a quick moment, and then does some stretches to become more limber. Then, she started to peer into the rooms, with her wand in hand, to attack any potential invaders, now humming "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", while trembling.You do some stretches and then start to peer into the cabins, humming your tune. The first four cabins are empty, but they are in such a state in disarray that you can only conclude that there had been some kind of scuffle. The fifth room is occupied, though. The door is ajar, and you peek through the window. An old man is wrestling with a giant starfish. The starfish comes to just above his waist. The fight seems to be pretty even. The man seems to have the strenght advantage, but the strafish is too low for him to really get a good grip and has the advantage of having more limbs to use. An old lady, presumably the man's wife, is beating the starfish over the head with a handbag to little effect.
Look for a small boat that has been ported at the harbor. If possible, "borrow" that boat and use it to reach the ship. Climb aboard the ship and strike a heroic pose while shouting "Heimlich Man to the rescue!" Apply my signature technique when necessary.You find a small motorized boat and head over to the ship. You climb up a rope ladder that is very conveniently dangling from the side and plop down onto the deck. You immediatly strike a heroic pose and utter your catchphrase. To your dismay, nobody is here to hear it. The deck, containing a bar and a pool, is devoid of people. The only living thing on it is a sea cucumber the size of a large dog, and you don't know if those things actually have ears. It's just flopping lazily on the deck.
Go and investigate the sewer grates. How heavy are they? How big?The sewer grates are fairly large, enough for a big guy to climb down. You try to lift them, trying to judge their weight. They're pretty darn heavy, but you do manage to get them to budge. You rub the dirt from your fingers. Yeah, you could surely manage to lift it enough to sort of drag it aside. But actually picking it up won't be happening without some help. Or a crane. Or something.
I crash the helicopter into the dragon's face and jump out at the last second, diving and digging myself into it's eyeball right after the chopper crashes into it. The Action Boy or whatever I called him will do the same in the other eye.CAPT TEAL: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THE REAL DRAGONS LEFT DAYS AGO, STOP ATTACKING THE STATUE IN FRONT OF THE CHINESE RESTAURANT AND COME HELP WITH SOME REAL CRIMES!

(Is this still accepting new players? ;-;)((I'm going to say yes, because I'm a giant masochist who apparently enjoys making things harder for himself. You're the last though, from now on people will have to die before others can join in.))
"HOW ABOUT YOU TIE YOURSELF UP AND WE DON'T BEAT THE SNOT OUT OF YA!"
Toss him some rope, drop a tear gas canister, and get ready to stun him if he attacks

Instead I crash the chopper into this commie bastard.
"Yeah man sure thing. "Outside of the bank, the helicopter takes a dive towards the building. Rick action and Action boy [6 and 1] Jump out at the last possible moment. Rick manages to land into a used diaper collection truck, completely avoiding any physical harm. Action boy manages to spear himself on a streetlight, hanging 6 feet above the ground with guts and blood slowly dripping down.
Actually not!!! Strangle him with his own cloak! Somehow!
"Hmm. Looks like I'll be exploring the sewers today. Lovely. Good thing I brought my mask."You heavy and lift the grate enough to slide it to the side. You climb down the sorry excuse for a ladder and plop down into the sewer tunnels. They're quite spacious, allowing a small man just enough room to stand up. You have to bend your neck at a rather uncomfortable angle to actually stand up straight, though. There are small LED lights hanging from the ceiling every at sapced intervals, to help the city workers when they need to come down. What this means for you is that you have at least some visibility in these dark tunnels. You can either go left or right from the ladder. You alos notice some grooves in the tunnel walls.
Lift the grate and enter the sewers. It seems to be the most likely place this kidnapper is hiding.
"Merlin, you picking anything up on the sensors?""Let me think about this for a moment" Your screen flashes with numbers and lines all appearing and dissapearing too fast to really see. It's alla bit of a blur when they suddenly stop. Three large bloodsplatters are highlighted and there are three lines drawn on your HUD. "If I am correct, and I usually am, You can see that this blood most likely belonged to three persons. One blood trail leads to the warehouse and manufacturing. While the other two seem to lead to the elevator. There are also some smaller bloodsplatters that don't seem to belong to either three of the bigger pools. Also, if you will notice, there is a finger behind the potted plant." The HUD zooms in a potted plant, and you can see a thumb stick out from behind it. "Merlin never misses a detail!"
Can Merlin sense anything? Is there a trail of blood, or just a big puddle?
Grab the sea cucumber and toss it back into the water. After all, it can't breathe properly up on the boat. Improper breathing leads to gasping. Gasping leads to choking. And choking...leads tothe dark sidedeath. Thus I have to rescue it! If i succeed, then victoriously yell out "Another life saved by Heimlich Man!"
Diane screams in horror at the sight, and then charges into battle, trying to shoot the starfish with her wand, and avoiding killing the innocent old people.Jim, up on the deck, walks over to the sea cucumber. He picks it up, holding it like you would a large dog. The cucumber pukes up its guts, but this doesn't do anything other than being kind of gross. He walks over to the edge of the deck and throws the cucmber overboard. It falls into the sea with a splash and sinks below the waves. Another creature saved from choking! Jim yells out for all the world to hear "Another life saved by the Heimlich man!". The world answers by going on with its business.
Erin tends to her potato garden, humming a tune to herself, trying to fend off the evil forces of mold besieging an occasional plant or two.You tend to your potato garden, humming a tune to yourself and your precious little spuds. The potato plants are looking healthy and mold free, and you're sure that this harvest will bring a bounty of firm and plump spuds.
