DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Ryusui: The sun rises on the biggest and most anticipated sporting event in the No-County Area: the Whereverville Municipal Games!
Ryusui: Turnout to watch this epic athletic competition is at its highest ever (three annoying children, a middle-age office worker and his granny, a local oatmeal heiress, and one perfectly non-anthropomorphic goat)!
Ryusui: Down on the field we have our eight competitors!
Ryusui: On the Home Team we have... <@!Brina>! <@!Cecil (And Laz)>! <@!Rira>! And <@!Alitzia>!
Ryusui: (feel free to introduce yourselves at this point XD)
Rira: (Sheet in ooc)
Cecil (And Laz): Cecil yawned, stretching out a bit as she looked at the competition, "Do you think it'll be a challenge?" Laz was about to respond before she put her hand to his face, "I already know what're gonna say."
Alitzia: Aliztia was stretching like mad, one could tell that her bones should't be able to bend like that, but she didn't care, "We can't waste ANY time for the Whevererville Municipal Games! I would be stretching if I were you!"
Rira: Rira is tall, covered in head to toe with a patchwork leather cloak that is mostly made from the leather that seems to be from old discarded boots. The has a pair of glasses- or would it be a pair of pairs of glasses? Nonetheless, her golden eyes didn't show much other than grumpyness, you'd think that she was forced to be here! From the feline eyes poking from her hood, and the venomous tail poking from under her cloak, she seemed to be some sort of grumpy cat-bug hybrid.
Instead of getting ready, or getting into appropriate clothes, she just stood there, with arms folded
"... You will find it hard to have me care."
Cecil (And Laz): Cecil looked at Alitztia, "But...they have a goat. A literal goat, not the goat. A goat." She looked at Rira. "I bet I can care less than you."
Rira: "By all mean. Go for it." Rira huffs
Brina: Brina giggles and sways her tail, "Eh, I'm sure we'll do just fine whatever we do"
Alitzia: "Aw, quit it with the downer-attitude, we are here to chum gum and kick ass, and there won't be any gum for you if you keep at it!" Rule #1 of Teams: always have a pet mas- ALWAYS KEEP THE MORALE HIGH, phew, almost got that one wrong.
Cecil (And Laz): "I mean, we'll win anyways. I ain't gonna lose to that ragdoll team." Cecil folds her arms, "I'm pretty sure we won't lose either." Laz pipes up from the back.
Ryusui: And on the Visitors Team, we have...
Ryusui: Mervin Sinister! A spindly-looking fellow, apart from his truly impressive mustache, which he is always, always twirling!
Ryusui: "Hee hee hee hee ha ha ha ha!"
Ryusui: Heloise Sassypuss, the self-proclaimed greatest [insert noun here] anywhere!
Ryusui: "-insert annoyed look at Mervin-"
Ryusui: Bulk Broozer, the most powerful peabrain on the face of the planet!
Ryusui: (camera cuts to truly enormous rhinoceros-man, staring off into space, drooling slightly)
Ryusui: And finally, the sketchy magician Shabadoo the Shabadubious...
Ryusui: "-rabbit-man in full stage magician garb angrily draws a chainsaw out of his hat-"
Ryusui: Uh, never mind, it's just Shabadoo the Dubious. There.
Rira: "Well... Now I don't know who to feel sorry for... Our team... Or theirs..."
Cecil (And Laz): "...Huh, well, that sounds...fun. Actually sounds like fun."
Ryusui: "Daaahling, I have enough brains to cover this whole lot," Heloise calls out from her side of the field, looking immaculate as expected in her revealing track-and-field outfit (complete with improbable high-heeled running shoes). "I'll be sure to write your little no-talent gang a postcard from the winner's circle!"
Ryusui: And speaking of winners!
Ryusui: The winning team gets to take home the prestigious Whereverville Municipal Games Trophy!
Rira: "You can skip me. I don't wanna no junk-mail."
Ryusui: Which someone is hastily finishing up painting with gold paint!
Brina: "Oooh, pretty!"
Alitzia: "Hah, that thing will be in our hands by the end of the day, you can count my bomb on it!"
Ryusui: The first event is...the 100-Meter Dash-and-Crash!
Ryusui: A footrace with a twist - all sorts of wild and crazy obstacles stand between the runners and the finish line!
Ryusui: No doubt to get even crazier once the runners start adding their own personal touch to the field!
Ryusui: The referee waddles up to the edge of the track. Unfortunately for everyone, it's Old Man Nonsense, a glassy-eyed naked mole rat in tatty overalls and - this time - an incongruous black-and-white striped shirt. No one is sure how he ends up anywhere, but no one can ever quite get him to leave.
Ryusui: "Heeeeeeere are the rules!" he calls out, his eyes adamantly pointed in opposite directions.
Ryusui: "...ANYTHING GOES!!!"
Rira: Rira hears this, takes a long look at the wirling blades in the track, pauses, then says.
"Wait... Are you ||BLEEP|| kidding me?"
Cecil (And Laz): Cecil cracks her knuckles, "That's my kind of ruleset."
Brina: Brina smiles at that, "Sounds like it'll be a test of our creativity; that'll be fun!"
Ryusui: The ceremonial starting cannon is placed right by the starting line!
Ryusui: It's fricking huge!
Ryusui: Two stadium workers are desperately trying to keep Old Man Nonsense from running up to it and setting it off prematurely! (Or at the stands, the competitors, etc.)
Rira: Rira frowns, begrudgilingly getting in position while letting out inaudible grumpy mumbling.
Ryusui: On your marks, racers!
Cecil (And Laz): Cecil gets into her stance...and Laz as well.
Alitzia: "Nice, Nice!! I just need to lay waste to them and we will win!" She is already searching for bombs inside her tail to get an early advantage, suppose she isn't all about fair game after all...
Brina: Brina stands on the start and she looks around a bit while she waits, ready to take off!
Ryusui: Ready...set...
Ryusui: -BOOM-
Ryusui: And it starts!
Ryusui: "Au revoir!" Heloise croons. She's not even pretending not to cheat: she's reclining pin-up style as Bulk Broozer carries her high over his head, bolting down the track!
Ryusui: Shabadoo snickers as he pulls himself out of his hat over and over again, making remarkable speed as he violates the laws of physics!
Ryusui: Mervin...is dead last as far as the Visitors Team is concerned, but he snickers like the villain he is, tossing tacks out as he goes!
Cecil (And Laz): Lazarus is seen flying past all the obstacles, floating right above the floor. While Cecil just charges down the path, not caring about anything she gets herself into.
Rira: Rira stands up and sprints, outspeeding the camera. But, as the camera catches up to her- Even going so far to overshoot, before having to roll back- She is merely walking on the race track, without seemingly to care to catch up with the others.
Alitzia: Alitzia does it the way she has always know, simple and effective, pluck out a grenade, pull the trigger and keep running.
Brina: Brina giggles and looks up as she charges along as best as she can, giggling as she looks overhead, "Gee, it must be easier when you can fly. Now what can I use..."
Ryusui: (Okay, we're in Dicey mode now!)
Ryusui: Mervin is just a little ways ahead of you all! Obviously the man himself isn't much of a challenge, but he's thoroughly covering the track with tacks! You'll need to figure out a way to deal with those!
Ryusui: (Well, all except Cecil, anyways - her roll will just be to catch up with Mervin and give him what for XD)
Rira: Well, I know how to deal with that
Cecil (And Laz): (( So I'm gonna roll...2d6+2 for tough beating >w> ))
Ryusui: (dooo eeet)
Cecil (And Laz): !roll 2d6+2
DiscoDude: <@Cecil (And Laz)> rolled 2d6+2 for 8 [2d6 = 1, 5]
Cecil (And Laz): (( ...I hope this is a success :o ))
Brina: I hold my skunk tail in front to try and delicately sweep tacks out of the way before I step on them
Rira: My unique move allows me to ignore a hazard by being terribly grumpy... Can I use it here?
Alitzia: Blow the tacks out of the ground, that is the Rousseaux way.
Ryusui: ( <@!Rira> yes)
Ryusui: ( <@!Alitzia> i'm gonna say that's a Zany roll)
Ryusui: ( <@!Brina> give me a Cool roll)
Rira: !roll 2d6+2 (grumping)
DiscoDude: <@Rira> rolled 2d6+2 for 10 [2d6 = 6, 2] (grumping)
Ryusui: ( <@!Cecil (And Laz)> i'm gonna rule that as a "success at a cost")
Cecil (And Laz): ((Alrighty! :o ))
Alitzia: !roll 2d6+2 (Zany)
DiscoDude: <@Alitzia> rolled 2d6+2 for 9 [2d6 = 5, 2] (Zany)
Ryusui: <@!Cecil (And Laz)>, you sail right past Mervin, leaving him spinning! You don't take him out of the race, but he drops all his tacks right around him!
Cecil (And Laz): Cecil zooms right past Mervin, slapping him on the head as she passed by, "See ya loser."
Ryusui: (oop)
Brina: !r 2d6
DiscoDude: <@Brina> rolled 2d6 for 4 [2d6 = 2, 2]
Cecil (And Laz): ( It's fine :o, it still works )
Ryusui: <@!Brina>, mostly you get your tail full of tacks. Ouch. (Take a lump!)
Cecil (And Laz): ( Oh wait, let me just...change my post. )
Rira: Rira marches on, walking past the tacks
"These damn kids always putting tacks in my way. I ain't got time for this. I remember when a tack truck fell over..."
She continues on, with unintelligible mumbling
Brina: "Oops, that didn't work out as well as I thought!"
Ryusui: <@!Rira>, you tromp right on through those tacks. You look kind of like a pincushion when you're through! (Take -1 forward to your next roll 😉 )
Ryusui: (on account of all those tacks XD)
Ryusui: as for you, <@!Alitzia>!
Rira: (Huh, Well, I could make an argument that I rolled 10, but being a pincusion is cool)
Ryusui: (oh shit i misread the result)
Ryusui: (never mind the -1 forward)
Ryusui: Throwing bombs is fun, <@!Alitzia>! Unfortunately, throwing them in the middle of a ready-made field of shrapnel is not so clever in retrospect! The tacks are off the track; unfortunately, a lot of them are in you! (Take a Lump! XD)
Ryusui: So! The four of you have managed to leave Mervin in the dust! Next up is the first proper obstacle!
Rira: "Watch out with the bombs back there! I don't want to make my cloak all over again!"
Alitzia: (Ah, does "Shake it Off" apply to avoid taking this Lump?)
Ryusui: (yeah, totally! roll 'em!)
Alitzia: (Then just 2d6 because i start with zero lumps :P)
Ryusui: (right)
Alitzia: !2d6
Ryusui: The wall of solid lead rises up some twelve feet high, with ropes allowing ascent! Of course, if anything's worth doing, it's worth over doing...
Alitzia: (WHOOPS)
Alitzia: !roll 2d6
DiscoDude: <@Alitzia> rolled 2d6 for 8 [2d6 = 5, 3]
Ryusui: (gratz, ignore that lump!)
Ryusui: ...and so the wall is festooned with spikes, and the ropes themselves are greased!
Alitzia: She literally just plucks them off her fur, man this reminds her of a funny accident she had , heh.
Ryusui: Heloise pays the obstacle no mind! Bulk Broozer eagerly seizes the wall, lifts it one-handed, and throws it into the air!
Ryusui: It lands right back down in the same position after he passes under it!
Ryusui: Shabadoo, likewise, simply magics his way past the wall!
Ryusui: One moment he's on one side, the next minute, he's somehow managed to pull himself out of his own hat on the other! How did the hat get there? Who knows? A magician never reveals his secrets!
Rira: Rira stops, folds her arms, and starts looking at the wall thoughtfully... Or grumpily... It is hard to tell.
Cecil (And Laz): Laz had already flown around the wall while Cecil swings her arm, wanting to shatter this wall in a good single punch.
Cecil (And Laz): (( Another tough punch? :3c ))
Brina: Brina takes a moment to wait and see if the others would succeed in getting rid of the obstacle so she could avoid potentially getting hurt on it
Ryusui: (gimme one <@!Cecil (And Laz)>)
Cecil (And Laz): !roll 2d6+2
DiscoDude: <@Cecil (And Laz)> rolled 2d6+2 for 9 [2d6 = 3, 4]
Ryusui: (again, you don't quite get what you wanted...)
Ryusui: You repeat Bulk Broozer's impressive feat of knocking the wall skyward! Down to the "it falls right where it was standing, perfectly upright" part!
Ryusui: You're through, but what about the others?
Cecil (And Laz): Cecil looks back as she continues to run, "Eh, not my problem anymore."
Rira: "... Great job uppercutting the wall out of the way, now lift it for us, you ||BLEEP|| !" Rira yells, before grumbling
Cecil (And Laz): She yells back, "NOT MY PROBLEM, GET BOMBER TO BLOW THE WALL SKY HIGH!!"
Brina: "Or perhaps just a nice sized hole"
Rira: Rira looks over to the other two. "So, you doing anything, or are you good?"
Ryusui: (XD)
Ryusui: (tossing Rira a Laugh)
Alitzia: "Hmph! That one won't be a freebie!" she exclaims, already pulling the appropriate C4 Charge to act on the words of Cecil, slightly annoyed someone called her gig. "No respect for demo-girls this days..."
Rira: Actually
Rira: Anyone who has less laughs than me
Rira: can take this laugh
Rira: first to come, first served
Ryusui: ooooh
Rira: ... Come on players, this is not a joke, Rira has the gimmick 'Straight Face', you can take this laugh. All you need to say is 'Give it to me'
Alitzia: OH, Then may I?
Rira: You now have a laugh, congratulations
Brina: 🎊
Ryusui: (okay, Alitzia, let's call that also a Zany roll XD)
Ryusui: (anything you do that involves explosives is Zany)
Alitzia: !roll 2d6 (nice)
DiscoDude: <@Alitzia> rolled 2d6 for 9 [2d6 = 3, 6] (nice)
Ryusui: (i mean...unless it might fall under one of the others XD)
Alitzia: (crap biscuits, forgot to add the +2)
Cecil (And Laz): (it's fine, it would be 11)
Cecil (And Laz): (way better than rerolling <w>;; )
Ryusui: Your bombs go off at the foot of the wall. At first, it looks like the wall is...completely undamaged!
Ryusui: BUT!
Ryusui: Suddenly the greased ropes all catch fire!
Ryusui: They burn quickly, like giant fuses!
Ryusui: The next thing anybody knows...
Ryusui: the entire wall goes off like a giant one of one of your bombs.
Ryusui: Nothing is left but scorch marks and shrapnel!
Alitzia: "Khahahaha! Just what I thought!" she skips through the rubble, making a hand gesture for the rest of the team to run along.
Rira: Rira stands there, shrapnel flying all around her, the madwoman staring into the explosion... Once it subsides, she... Just starts walking forwards "Well, that's that."
Brina: Brina claps and smiles before quickly running forward once it's safe to, "Good job!"
Ryusui: The next obstacle is the tire traps!
Ryusui: The track is packed solid with old tires lying on their sides, making running through them difficult!
Ryusui: But wait, there's more!
Ryusui: Shabadoo approaches the edge of the tires and, with uncharacteristic perspicacity, throws three rings into one of the tire holes!
Ryusui: A massive gout of flame erupts - along with the three rings perfectly and mysteriously joined together!
Ryusui: He bows to his appreciative audience, and goes right back to hat-tricking his way across the trap!
Ryusui: It's safe to say each and every one of these tires has a chance of having something untoward in them!
Rira: "Okay, I understand that the rules allow our opponents to build traps for us. But why can't we build traps for the- Oh wait, we are behind them. That's right... Oh well." Rira then shrugs
Ryusui: Well, Shabadoo is still crossing this stretch of the track! You could figure out a way to take him out of the running...
Brina: "Speaking of which, we should probably fix that if we intend to win"
Cecil (And Laz): Lazarus, looks at Cecil and the rest, "I can probably trip him up instead of just going forward."
Rira: "So... Who amongst you schmucks are going to handle the tires...? Did I say schmucks? I meant incredibly sma- Oh, who am I kidding, we're all schumucks."
Cecil (And Laz): Lazarus hears about the tires and makes it his duty to work on that. All while Cecil is just continuously charging straight ahead of her.
Rira: Rira looks at Cecil and Laz, looks at the tires, then looks back at Shabadoo, before starting to walk over to him
Ryusui: The laws of physics will darn well bend for you, too, if you put your mind to it. Gimme a Cool roll to catch up with Shabadoo, <@!Rira>!
Rira: !roll 2d6+2 (cool)
DiscoDude: <@Rira> rolled 2d6+2 for 8 [2d6 = 3, 3] (cool)
Rira: oof
Rira: Gimme 'dem options director
Ryusui: (actually come to think of it this mighta been your Unique Move, but your Cool and Tough are the same, so)
Rira: (Eh, makes sense.)
Rira: Rira realizes the rules does not prevents her from walking AROUND the tires, and proceeds to do exactly that... Buuut...
Ryusui: Shabadoo looks back to see you are somehow keeping pace with him, despite marching forward at your typical slow, implacable plod! He yelps with terror and tries to outpace you, but while you fail to make any further ground, he discovers to his horror he is incapable of shaking you!
Ryusui: <@!Cecil (And Laz)>, gimme a Tough roll to deal with Shabadoo!
Ryusui: ( <@!Brina> and <@!Alitzia>, you're also welcome to make moves!)
Cecil (And Laz): !roll 2d6+2
DiscoDude: <@Cecil (And Laz)> rolled 2d6+2 for 11 [2d6 = 3, 6]
Cecil (And Laz): (( YAHHOO ))
Ryusui: Shabadoo is poofing in and out of his hat at high speed, a little more frantically now that Rira is bending the laws of physics to keep up with him. What do you do to him?
Rira: "Scoo- Er, I mean, Shabadoo. Listen- Oh, hey Cecil-"
Cecil (And Laz): Cecil reaches out into an open space, and catches him when he poofs into that space before, curling them up into a ball and yeeting them back towards the starting line with a good kick. "See ya Shamalama Dingdong."
Brina: Brina grabs one of the tires, rotates it to stand up, and cartoonishly hops on top of it. She makes a "vroooom" noise and tries to see if running on top of the tire will get it speeding along past the obstacle (if that makes any sense)
Rira: "... Aaaaand that's that."
Ryusui: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Ryusui: Mervin has only just stopped spinning from where you left him last time, and suddenly he's spinning the other way as Shabadoo sails past him!
Ryusui: <@!Brina>, give me a Cool roll! (Also, <@!Alitzia>, are you gonna be doing anything?)
Brina: is that cool and not zany?
Cecil (And Laz): Cecil is still sprinting, "2 dorks, 1 throw." She smirks.
Rira: It sounds like some cartoon shenanigans, to be honest
Ryusui: (...what the hey let's make it Zany XD)
Brina: !r 2d6+2
DiscoDude: <@Brina> rolled 2d6+2 for 8 [2d6 = 3, 3]
Cecil (And Laz): (( Cecil is like the definition of Cartoon Slapstick Humor. ))
Brina: mostly because that gives me the advantage
Ryusui: Your chosen tire roars like a motorcycle engine! It's a bumpy ride, mind, and you're bucked right at the end - soaring improbably past even Cecil as it sends you flying over the tires! (Take a lump! XD)
Ryusui: (cripes, where's <@!Alitzia>?)
Brina: ( just do the bat signal in the sky except it's 💣 and she will come probably )
Rira: ( I fear that the current signal may be this one: 💤 )
Rira: (We might need to move on without them...)
Ryusui: (and looks like we're putting this on pause for the night!)
Ryusui: !end
