Location: Tenpenny Tower>We periodically host a web-based battle royale that can include anything and anyone. Shenanigans ensue, and some people attempt to write it into semi-coherent narratives, playing the part of the characters within!Check here for additional details:https://rentry.org/HungerGamesHostingGuideUpdatedhttps://brantsteele.com/hungergames/She was a noname hidden in the gray,A quiet shadow drifting through the day.The ancient world of hg ignored her face,And left her wandering a crowded place.But everything was altered when Sam wokeA sleeping fire underneath the smoke.To honor Sam, she swore to take the crown,And bring the heavy, flawed foundations down.Fierce Hiro stepped up quickly to her side,Her greatest champion and a loyal guide.He stood unmoved amidst the battlefield,With sharpened blade and an unyielding shield.They brought a total ruin to the land,And crushed the old kingdom with ruthless hand.The spires of hg fell crashing to the floor,All offered up to Sam forevermore.

Test
>>24578219Parfait is.
>>24578113>SwitzerlandIs it? Could it be?Also purple ID get.>>24578219Hi.
>>24579115... my purple is awful green.
>>24578219Let's see what colour I get!
>>24579212...You're blue, dabba-dee dabba-die...
Snae
>>24579255I own a blue house with a blue window?
>>24579330>he own[s]. . .[a] houseWew lad.Also, yay, now down to only the "one unlike the others" captchas.
>>24578219>Surely I shall be blue again.
>>24579599All is right in the world.
Can I get a bright, annoying yellow spotlight?
>>24579689The endless hordes of green claim another
>>24579699What?Me, green?Whoever has even heard of such a thing?
>>24579329>What a distinguished looking snail. Such a charming likeness too.
>>24579330I'll give ya something to be blue about!
>>24579855Huh!? What!?>Noelle stumbles back, covering her front this time in case of another stabbing.
>>24579855>Status report.>After much humming and hawing and blitzing through an entire anime, I have more or less settled on what Zoids the recruits are bringing to the table.>I think. The third one I am still a little uncertain on but I can't drum up anything better-fitting.
>>24579908>Both animes? >>24579907>He grabs her by her + antler instead of stabbing.Tell me why I'm seeing seeing things for a "Christmas in July" and why I should blame you for it!?
>>24579921>Both? But there's seven.>...But yes, both of Chaotic Century/Guardian Force, if you meant them. Reese is the flattest goddamned woman I have ever seen in anime.
>>24579921What!? How would I have anything to do with that!? >The deer squeaks as he grabs her antler.O-Ow! Stop! Th-that hurts!
>>24579964Last time I checked, you were trying to celebrate Christmas in October! So that points to you being behind this as well! What couldn't let fucking summer have it's way first!? Had to cut in!? Well I'll fix that! >The red nightmare grabs Noelle's right leg, straightening it out, then drops an elbow on her knee so hard it shatters bending her leg upwards.>>24579961>I mean shinseiki/zero>But if you are happy with what you have now.
>>24579855>>24579908>I have likewise been watching, although I'm nowhere near as far along as he is. Storm Sworders are pretty cool.
>>24579975>Have you narrowed down a Zoid?
>>24579972>Oh, no, I started on that but I only have the first episode of New Century watched thus far. I'll work on it.>Doesn't mean I haven't done research on the Zoids themselves though, heheh. I was fortunate to have remembered the existence of the Iron Bible before this, for starters.>...But I am curious. Based on their looks and demeanors from their brief appearance, do you have any predictions? It won't change anything, probably, but I just want to see if you have a bead on me personally.
>>24579982>Feels like some one will use a liger, just because why not?
>>24579979>I'll take anything that flies, but if its a choice.. Probably the Storm Sworder.. cause out of all the flying Zoids with anime appearances, it's the coolest looking one. Although that Raynos is tempting.>Buster Eagle is nice too but I don't think there's much art out there for it.
>>24578219https://youtu.be/NJDzOxxAECk?si=jdlwCz0MfuQga5ypHowdy
>>24579997>So you can cheat with the zoids.>You technically only need to post the image of the Zoid once, after that you can use images of the pilot for reactions.
>>24579999>How goes it?>>24580000>That's.. that's a good point.
>>24579972O-October is technically only two months away from Christmas->The deer hears the crack before she feels it, slowly looking down at her knee before screeching in agony.
>>24579999>9999
>>24579999>The 9s have brought us fresh new horrors.
>>24579992>That's cheatingly vague!>...Care to review reports from the Fairies that TOTALLLY weren't spying on them and were only following them for security-and-or-documentation purposes?>>24579999>Evening.
>>24579999>>24580000>We have taken their numbers brothers.>>24580004>That being said, go nuts with whatever you want to use.>>24580010>You mean what Grim hired them to do? Sure.>>24580005Huh, yeah I see a problem.>He does the same thing to her other leg.Gotta even you out!
>>24580023>Ahem, the first report to come in;>The fancy miss Florence Kishima trailed a serious of dinosaur-styled ones, for a time focusing a Gojulas before witnessing the savagery of a Geno Saurer that lashed out at it for getting too close. Politely waiting for it to calm down, she then approached it and attempted to lay on the charm, narrowly avoiding a tail swipe for her trouble.>Enraged, she stormed off, and returned shortly after, and when the Geno Saurer roared at her responded by throwing a flashbang grenade that she retrieved from...somewhere in to its' face.>While it was startled and dazed, Florence proceeded to use a magnetic grappling device to ascend to the cockpit and beat upon it with an electrified whip she also purloined from the hangars (apparently) until it opened, whereupon she forced entry in to the cockpit and broke it in like a wild mustang, only with more smashing it in to large surfaces and wearing it down until it was too exhausted to keep trying to shake her out, shouting profanity at it all the while and demanding it bow to her.>...This seems to've earned her its' respect. She seemed exceedingly pleased with herself after the fact, and returned to her more proper demeanor afterwards.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O71qUcvBYMs
>>24580048>Grim was in the site where he was building a town for his humans.>Looking over the report TAI had forwarded him.A Dino? Good.>He was happy with those results.
>>24580004>>24580023>>24580006>>24580010Numbers were gathered.
>>24580023Ahhh...aaaaAAGH! Wh-why...!? I d-didn't do anything to y->The second crack gets another loud scream from the deer, her entire body quivering as she looks down at her broken limbs. Blood drips from the ring on her finger as she grits her teeth, the temperature starting to drop around the pair.H-Help...! I-I don't want to...!
>>24580076Don't want to celebrate Christmas? Better! If I find out you are pushing this winter wonder land propaganda....I'll find you again, and next time I'll get more creative with how to hurt ya!>The red guy leaves the deer girl crippled and broken.
>>24579115Is not fkn hard to figure out when there is a pass attached to a post...I got horrendously shitfaced with my mate and we decided to shitpost in random threads..My head hurts...Might throw up...Fkn baka moron yappy...Bring me wata.Fast
>>24580023>Don't tempt me.. although few of the zoids I was looking at look as nice as a Storm Sworder. Plus the name is cool.>>24580061>Speaking of gathered, there was a certain tiny trio on a boat..
>>24580060>T-AI's assessment: Florence's refined demeanor is either a facade or something that she is simply aspiring to be, and when sufficiently pressured or provoked will slip in to a violent, thuggish affection in both speech and behavior.>The grumbly La Milla Luna stumbled upon an injured Gun Sniper in the field which bore the signs of injury from multiple attackers which had ganged up on it.>Taking pity upon the creature, she helped remove debris from its' joints, and when it followed her, complained repeatedly and told it to go away, before herself caving and leading it back to the hangar for repair...and rearming.>Returning with a frankly excessive amount of additional firepower strapped on to it, the duo tracked down and exacted revenge upon the ones that had harmed the Gun Sniper, audibly taking her own frustration out on them as well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkzJc2t55i8>...Two down, two dinos. Nice.
>>24580114Just finished earning a "w" so I'm free now.Damn Valvelock is kinda addicting
>>24580114>Oh I'm tempting you.>The skies are legit the limits.>>24580117>Grim didn't seem to mind the other personality, if anything he felt she should show it more often.>Hearing of another dino to the roster got an approving nod out of him. And someone finally using that extra artillery. This shaping up good.
>>24580128I haven't tried it yet, but Rem and a few of the others I've seen are pretty cool looking.Think we also had something going on at the local karaoke bar.>>24580076>>24580117If you fellas are interested. No harm if you'd rather go another day.https://archived.moe/bant/thread/24503098/#24504334
>>24580090>Noelle grunts as she lands on the ground, crying and staring down at her legs as she struggles to cast healing magic.Wh-why...I didn't...I didn't do anything...>She grits her teeth harder as she casts the spell, her legs making awful cracking sounds as the bones force themselves back into place.I n-need to...I need to find...need to find Suz...sh-she'll protect me...! Someone will...>She gives a second glance around the area before wobbling back up to her feet and slowly stumbling off.
>>24580141Gil Vader was looking mighty tempting...
>>24580141>T-AI's assessment of La Milla Luna: Despite being a serial complainer, she seems keen on unleashing hell on someone as stress relief. That might help encourage her to stick around.>As for the third one...>Rachel Ransom appeared to wander aimlessly for a bit before stopping, turning her head as if she noticed something, and walking in that direction for quite a while. >Walking right up to a Shield Liger that was resting in a cave out of public view, she didn't so much as flinch when it stood up to stare her down, and instead returned the gaze.>...Playback fastforwards and indicates that they maintained this staring for an extended period of time in excess of 20 minutes before the Shield Liger relaxed, and lowered its' head to her when she reached out, allowing her to touch it on the "nose" before opening its' cockpit hatch voluntarily and allowing her to enter and ride it away. Not a word spared in the entire ordeal besides introducing herself just before she climbed in.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlJq5s9jksc>She's been eyeing some of the arsenal in the hangars, but hasn't settled on anything just yet.>...Assessment: Seems adept at "feeling" out things. Far less eccentric than the other two in spite of that.>Eh, two out of three dinos aint bad.
>>24580167>But of course.
>>24580167>>24580285>>24580128>I should be good for about an hour if everyone else is.
>>24580267>Feel them out, I'm not putting any restrictions out there, I want this to be as crazy and chaotic as possible.>Also Grimlock gets a report that Eagle-1 was last seen in the Aviary, one of the most deadly parts of the island.>>24580283>He had a feeling a Liger would come into play, if they weren't so powerful he'd complain.Hrm...>Still he had his forces growing, soon they will need to be tested out in the battle field.
>>24580110Wake up?I'd rather go to sleep with you, my deer
>>24580295>Lack of sauropod features be damned, those boys can fight.>Hopefully those three already know how to work as a team to some degree to make the learning process smoother.>And Claire, uh->...She kind of just vanished when nobody was paying attention to her. Her biometrics can't seem to be found anywhere on the island.>Weird.
>>24580289>Sounds good. Think you were up next as well.>>24580295>Somewhere off screen Eagle-1 staring down a 20 meter tall mountain of metal and bad intentions. Find out next week if it flattens her.
>>24580308>Claire's disappearance didn't seem to bother him, she had stated that she had her own thing going on. >Just a reminder how many pilots did he have? Counting Eagle-1.>>24580317>He was getting a medvac team ready to gather up whats left of her if she failed. >They are armed with sponges, scrappers, and plastic bags.
>>24578113Now THIS is a cool thread!
>>24580333>4 thus far, so long as I can tell; Rachel, Florence, La Milla Luna (Milla? Luna? La?), and Eagle-1.>Additionally, Knight Gundam has been strategically placing adverts for Grimlock's cause here and there, so take that as you will.
>>24580167Gotta get a friend to invite you to play it. Valve knows how to cook when it comes to making characters.Steep ass learning curve tho. I mostly stick to playing healers anyway. I Mained medic in tf2 and Sunflower in the Garden Warfare series.Are the peeps here for the bar encounter too? Too many ArrPee session on hold atm>>24580289Ready
>>24580347>If he had one more he'd have a Zoid Dinobot team.>Okay next time Gordo or Nova do anything, drop in there that a Zoid unit is ready to be used.
>>24580333If an overgrown metal chicken does me in, bury me in a shallow unmarked grave and spit on it. That's a shameful way for a hero of super earth to go out.>>24580350>I got invited pretty early on in when it came out but I only logged a total of 12 minutes on it before getting distracted. Kinda regret not playing it. The invite would have been better spent on someone else.
>>24580354>I'll try and remember, but having the courage might be another matter.>...Any requests for specifics? Otherwise I'll assume Command Wolf or Red Horn, probably. Maybe Redler.>...I feel like if anyone in the Gendarme (or recruited in to it) gets one it should be a Godos. Goofy bastards.>>24580350>Looks like that's everyone.>Ball's in Bea's court.
>>24580317>>24580350>>24580285Thriller Bark...? So this whole thing is a giant ship...>Mina looks back at the ship, before returning her attention to the zombies.I see, so it's piracy but on a larger scale...>The mouse gives Rem a curious look.Sorry, I need this jacket for now. Maybe we can find you a comfier one somewhere around here? They did just say they looted the cruise ship...>The fact they took the people too apparently, that concerns her. She looks to the robot next....we should probably investigate a bit more. This Gecko Moria person sounds like trouble, and I don't like the thought of an island sized ship trolling the waters to attack more civilians.
>>24580380>Okay so there is a good chance that the Gendarme won't get a zoid at all or not until much later.>The reason Grim sought out pilots instead of using the Gendarme off the bat was because no one knows how to use a zoid, so Grim hired these pilots to later train others in how to use them.>Also I'm not picky, any Zoids will do as long as it fills the ranks.>>24580367>He'll bury her real name so it's never spoken.
>>24504334 (Zaaakuuuu)"Waving white blankets means weak! But friends and I are strong together! Never waving white blankets again! Nothing stopping us!">[ Determination is dangerous, especially when the young child is excited now. He can't help himself and gloats about his newfound strength and friendship. Look at his smile! ]>>24580394 (Mouse)"Pleeeeaase‽""Looks cozy enough for a nice nap! Pleeeeeaasse! Nice dreams come with cozy nap and-!">>24504247 (Zombies)>[ Yet, over hearing the zombies gloating about their masters, and how this ship was "picked clean". REM'S cyan eyes are sliced flat across the top by an unseen brow, with the flattened edges angling sharply downward. He angy now. ]"Jerks took friend's candy‽ Sweet treats‽ Candles‽ Blankets‽ And PILLOWS‽ Meanies! Give'em back! Give'em back!">[ Temper tantrum. Cue the wild swinging of his arms in a vertical motion. ]"Or you go night night! Deep in the dark! Forever!">[ Not ominous at all, especially coming from some dream beast. The cyan flame burning on his candle grows larger and brighter. ]
>>24580400>Makes sense to me.>Mmm...Gordos for Gordon...
>>24504268>>24504334>>24580394>Whatever the plan was, the tiny trio now had command of this vessel. It had been freed of it's fineries and the safe of the casino floor had been plundered, but the mechanism and instruments needed to navigate these waters safety remained in tact and at the service of any who desired them. The pantry and lifeboats likewise mostly remained.. although the sweets had been taken.>The glass of the vessel's bridge is thick with condensation, a sign of the chilly air of this island's perpetual night. Beyond those icy panes the fog rolled in thick across the sea, casting all beneath that blanket of mist in shades of black and gray. Only the silhouettes of the tallest trees and the faint outline of the coast could be made out.>And amongst that gloom a single schooner sailed toward that coast, ladened with loot as a swarm of ghost trailed behind it, like remora following a shark and hungry for the carcass of its next prey. If not for the bright lantern mounted at its prow, it may have gone unseen.>>24580426Cool it kid!>The zombies turn out the pockets of their rotting pants.Not one penny between us. And we sure don't have any candy either!
>>24580394>>24580426>>24580443I'll-I'll clue you in on the nuances of how that works later.>More importantly, he seems more disappointed than anything by the lack of loot...Seriously? You don't even have anything on you!>Random encounter that don't even drop any gold. Absolutely disgraceful.....>Zaku's monoeye tracks over to look at Mina. The reason why's different, buuut...they more or less agree.Hrmph. My lord wouldn't want something causing chaos like that anyways. Besides, if we're moored here, we've at least gotta check how easy it is to get out. Yknow, if nothing else.
>>24580426>>24580443>>24580475I'm just a bit worried that they might have taken people off the cruise ship too, and they likely meant to take us as well. Probably didn't expect us to fight back or be this...>She looks at the robot and birb....different from their regular targets. >Speaking of the bird.Hey hey they don't have anything! Look, that boat there has everything and it's going...>She slowly moves her finger from the direction of the boat to the giant obvious castle in the center.There. I think if we go to that castle we'll get more answers to exactly what's going on here and how we can deal with it. >Plus, potential loot. Maybe.
>>24580443>[ Pockets empty. Undead broke.]"Meanies! You lie! Lying is baaad!">[ Gripping the pillow, by the corners. He's ready to swing it. ]"Lemme' break'em! Break'em more! More!">>24580475>>24580491>[ But attention is turned to the newfound island. ]"Look!Look!">[ It almost looked as if someone or things were watching the group from afar. Those might be trees, yet the whole vibe and energy of this place is definitely putting REM a bit on edge. Now he's hugging his pillow tightly. ]"I don't like it here...... Looks scary! Friends don't leave for scary place...? I don't like being alone...!"
>>24580475>>24580491>>24580621>There was little doubt that such an ostentatious ship and gaudy castle would have a master to match. Where pirates were, there was always loot and the greed to gather more not far behind. An expedition carried the promise of profit if only the risks could be mitigated to a safe level.>For those wishing to explore the island, the lifeboats may suffice for short maritime traversal, unless the party had their own means to reach the coast.>>24580491>A crossed zombie plucks its head off it's shoulder and lifts it high to get a better look at what Mina is pointing at.That's our bosses ship. If you've got a death wish feel free to follow it! Just don't say we didn't warn you.>>24580621Oi oi, I told you kid! We were just the distraction.>The zombie is silence their rowdy partner.Quiet, are you trying to get us beat up again? They might not be able to kill us for good but it hurts man!
>>24580636>The zombies silence their rowdy partner.*>Sheesh..
>>24580491>>24580621>>24580636We're not gonna be able to get out as-is, Rem. Check it out.>He yoinks a CONVENIENTLY-PLACED MAP that just so happened to be tucked partially-exposed poking out of one of the zombies' trousers and shows it off (see image here >>24580636 ).See that teeth thingy? That's definitely a gate. You might not like it, but we're probably gonna need to open it to get out of here anyways. Which means...we need to go and look to at least find out where the controls are! Besides, obviously it's safer to travel as a group, we can't just leave you here with these losers.>Zaku nods in his confidence about this statement.
>>24580636>>24580621>>24580667Your metal friend is right, if we want to escape we'll need to open the gate, and it's more than likely that the contraption for it is on that island.>Despite the warning, she smiles at the zombies.Figured as much, but we don't have much choice and I was getting a bit bored with the cruise anyways. We'll hop on a lifeboat and sail over, give the host of this place a piece of our mind.>Unfortunately I need to work later today so this is where I need to sign off. Hope you guys have a nice night!
>>24580691Good luck at work! Looking forward to the next one.
>>24580636"I don't think I like it here....!">[ The mist that once shrouded this island. The sudden appearance of the zombies. And how massive this ship is. A lot of things REM doesn't like here. Not willing to risk climbing up and seeing the rest of the island. He'll take the words of the Zaku and Mina at face value. Frankly, a ship THIS big is far too big for REM to understand. ]>[ Oblivious to the zombie's words. The idea of stepping off this cruise didn't sit well with REM. ]>>24580667>[ He does not like the idea of stepping onto the obviously spooky island-sized ship. Yet there's no other option, it seems. Much to REM's dismay. ]>>24580691 ( Have a good one, m80)>[ But both Mina and the Zaku agree with this motion. You'll receive a begrudging nod from REM. ]"MMHM.....!">[ Seems like he's in agreement as well. To an extent. Hugging the lucky pillow close. ""I-I follow Y-you...! You keep me safe...‽"
>>24580667>>24580691>>24580720>Landfall will be another day. A spooky expedition and shonen battles await you in the next episode.
