The sky above you is most of the way covered by the black clouds above you. Rain pours down into the forested area around you, drowning your armor and robe at the torrential downpour. There is not a single other creature here, save for yourself, and how could there be? The thunderous charges strike the ground, their charge on impacting the ground causing a near deafening sound."YOU COME TO MY REALM, MORTAL?" The sound of a deep, booming voice echoes around you, despite the never ending thunder strikes reverberating through the landscape. You cover your ears, the stimulation overload and sound deafening quakes causing the beginning of your ears to bleed. Clenching your head in pain, your shoulder length, black hair blasts back from all the wind. You summon as much willpower as you can to power through the overwhelming sensations. This has been a long time coming, you've earned the right to be here. For just a moment, time slows down. A wave of thunder crashing right in front of you, the force of this one causes what could simply be put as a wall of air knocks you away and causes you to collide with a tree. The force of being pushed into such an object only causes you to wince, your near perfected form is durable.HOW DID YOU GET THROUGH TO HERE? STATE YOUR BUSINESS TO ME! The authority of this command nearly causes your spine to clench. Where the thunder once struck in front of you now stands a massive, redheaded man. His muscular stature is apparent, even through his armor you can tell he truly has a gods physique. His eyes that crackle, hiding the color of their eyes stare forth at you. >Thor, I've come to make a bargain.>Command to him that you're here for his power and that hammer. You challenge him to a fight. >He fell for it, capture him with the seals you've placed around the area.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>He fell for it>Seal ReleaseYou say nothing to the imposing Thor. You're just staring at his booming stature, Thor may come off as a brute, and if you really piss him off he can be. Truly in the end that's all he is, his legends betraying him, making him predictable.[r]A looming, red mist releases around Thor![/r]The giant of a God heels over himself for but a moment, not used to feeling this weak. "By Ysm-" the God roughly coughs out. The surprise paid off, you smile at this pathetic.. thing.The perfect concoction, for you, it was easy to come up with. Learning the general lore of this realm gave you more than enough to predict what alchemical concoctions to come with you. With a little bit of nature from this realm, and some of your own realms magic, you were able to craft a gas sealer.

You wake up. You blink your eyes, looking around your darkened room. You were dreaming of that girl you liked, the one with red hair and blue eyes. Why’d you have to get woken up from that dream?You’re about to go back to sleep when there’s a loud crash from downstairs.Shit. Are you being robbed?There’s another crash, and you hear the sound of your beer cans rolling on the floor. You frown. Something’s in your kitchen. Did you leave the backdoor open? You get out of bed and put on a dressing gown and some slippers. If there’s an animal downstairs you just hope it’s a rat or something small, you don’t want to pay the fee for an animal handler at, 3 O’clock in the morning. You go down the stairs and hear the distinctive crunch of potato chips. This thing is in your cupboard too? You brace yourself as you open the door to the kitchen, expecting to get jumped by some wild animal, only to get a beer can thrown at your face.“Thine drink is pigs piss!”You open your eyes. There’s a man there, an old bearded man sitting in your kitchen, dressed in a robe not dissimilar to yours, a can of beer in one hand and a thick stick as tall as you in the other. He has some sword strapped to his waist, and all kinds of leathery pouches. The fridge door is open, and you can see that he’s pulled out almost everything you have in there, not that there was much to begin with. Did some fucking hobo break into your house?You take a step towards him, intending to throw him out, but he puts up a hand and for some reason you feel compelled to stop. Comment too long.

Admittedly it was hard for my people for many years to see yours as, well, more than marauders. But, times have changed, and we have enjoyed a great time of peace after making proper contact. I am sure it was the same on both ends; it can be challenging to see the benevolence and value of another life unlike yourself, until you have been made acquainted."Jahera lights up at the opportunity, continuing nervously."Oh, of course! My favorite Vessel is the one from my great grandmother Jehane's time, Gerniet the Fiable. They were the second of only two vessels of House Yros, our seekers of lost knowledge. Us Listeners can see through the eyes of our Listeners, at most times, and it was this age where we were enabled to see things far from home. Gerniet traveled the world to the North, inviting all to witness beautiful landscapes, culture and people, and even terrifying monsters never before seen. It was so inspirational that many left to join Gerniet in Vesper Keep, and it is there they still pursue this dream of a life not beholden to traditionalist values and responsibilities. My great grandma left with a band of explorers to go there, and one day I hope to do the same. It's this dream, and these stories, that many of us here cling onto to inspire ourselves to change things for the better."Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6408883>Communicate [Lys]The band of knights chuckle amongst themselves in reaction to Lamedh inquiring where Gerniet is. Before their laughing stifles to breath room for a response, the demigod unveils the true extent of power Lys channels through her. Their laughter cuts to silence, overtaken in stoic fear of the supernatural magicks that transform their surroundings, if only for a moment. Returning to the dark, the knights murmur, rallying closer as they steel their spirits."Gerniet is dead. And so too are the two vessels that followed, as well as however many more infantile Vessels those miscreants with the House Unmourned have drowned. Unlike whatever you two are, each one of us have a grave waiting for us back home, Vessels included. I wouldn't hurt yourself mourning them, especially not a 'knight' of House Yros who spends their time helm deep in mycelium folds, or chasing dreams of playing God like that runaway you met."The brazen knight does not appear to guise his words when speaking his mind, speaking as though he personally has little to lose, not entirely to the pleasure of his comrades. However, the tensions inability to hold him back, if nothing else informs the twin demigods it is this confidence that facilitates his leadership and their trust in him. Responding to Lamedh's final inquiry, the knight of House Morcair continues."No offense to you or that divine lamp of yours, but its tall freaks like yourself, transporting us or our minds to places beyond our will, that give us something to fear. My men have families to return to, and aye its trade we seek, but what we offer doesn't come without assurances. This domain is your safety, and our safety is in the damp and dark beneath the dirt. We live different lives, you and me. I'm sure your folk and old Gerniet were chums, but I only know his name from history folds, and whatever that trick was you pulled was the first of any sort of magick I've ever witnessed. Trust is earned, and that would start with us sticking to our tunnels. Besides, if such a place as this is so impenetrable to dangers, what harm could come from our passage whether under or above the substrate?"

With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power.

>>6410438You focus on Fu's distant energy, then reach out telepathically. Immediately connecting to his mind.“Fu. What are you doing here?” you think to him, feeling Fu's immediate surprise. You see him turn, looking down over the crowd before seeing you.“Karn? When-? How are you here?” he asks, you feeling a hint of panic in his tone.“Helped Mechikabura with a problem, it's settled now.” you tell him, feeling his curiosity bloom. But he doesn't ask about that, you can almost feel him compartmentalizing it. “What are you doing?”“Watching the fights, obviously. Scouting talent for future projects.” he says cheerily, excitedly. As if even the thought of what's going on excites him. “Cynthia's power's quite something, I thought for sure she was going to win. I have to talk to Piyano later too, see how he figured out she was bluffing. But that ice cold poker face she had, even I nearly believed it! She's certainly going to be one to watch.”“Yeah, no need to ask Piyano. I told him.” you say, Fu's expression turning confused, then strangely blank.“You told him?” he asks, voice losing its warmth. “You mean that was you seeing through her bluff, not him?”“He saw it too, when I pointed it out. He was so wrapped up in his own head, he couldn't see what was right in front of his face.” you tell him, Fu looking at you blankly. So, you continue. “They're still learning. And what better way to learn than from someone with a lot more experience than you? That's a lesson he'll never forget.”“You interfered with the fight now. So LATER, he won't fall for that kind of bluff again.” Fu says, as if trying to verbally walk through your reasoning. Expression softening as he considers it. “Taking away from the outcome now, to make him a better fighter later. I see...”Silence hangs between you both through the link as you can feel him considering your words. As if he'd never considered your approach before, and is now reevaluating several things he'd taken for granted.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6410484You stare at where he disappeared from, then turn your focus back to the arena for the fight. However, just as you do, realize a third being's suddenly appeared. Wearing an orange gi, looking like a scar-less version of Bardock.“Dad? What are you doing here?” Gohan asks, both fighters looking up at Kakarot like he's some sort of mythical figure.“Eehehehe. Well, I sensed a certain someone's here, and I came for the rematch.” he says, punching his palm. Turning his focus from his son to you. “And there you are, Karn. Let's go, you and me! Right now!”You can feel the entire audience turn, all looking at you. Whispers pick up, everyone realizing who's in their midst. If you were an unknown before, after what you did to Conton City, everyone knows your name by now.“Hmph. Well, looks like you've been called out.” Piccolo says quietly with a chuckle. “So, you gonna turn him down? Or get out there and show our students how it's done?”“You son of a bitch.” you say quietly, smirking as you stand. Knowing without a doubt he's behind this guy showing up and challenging you. “Alright, I'll take you on.”“Here. Before you go.” Gohan says, taking a small green bean out of his pocket, tossing it to you. Bringing your right hand to your forehead as you catch it with your left, you teleport directly in front of Kakarot, leaving the stands behind and bypassing the barrier. Bringing the bean to your mouth and eating it, feeling your power surging back. Your strength returns instantly, restoring your power and strength to full.“Let's do this.” you tell him, the two of you sizing one another up. The crowd's cheers turn explosive, cheering louder for this fight than any you've heard yet. The two other fighters scramble away, rushing back out of the arena to find seats to watch this fight go down. And your fellow Saiyan starts stretching, bouncing on his toes and rolling his neck and shoulders. Completely relaxed, loosening up as he gets ready to face you once more. As he does, you realize this is the first time you've fought him where it wasn't a fight to the death. And, more importantly, realize you're actually looking forward to a fight with nothing on the line. No lives on the line, not your home or people, or others. Just two Saiyans about to throw down just to see who's better. You can feel your blood pumping, ready to go. You're going to actually enjoy this.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

How far do you think he's going to be willing to go, and how far will you go to against him? And once this battle's done, ready to return to your home and get back to preparing for Granolah? Do you think this is the last interruption in your training, or do you think someone else'll be showing up to New Salda before the day of your fight with the last Cerelean? All this and more, next time on Saiyan Conqueror Quest!
>>6410485>>6410486THE RUNBACK IS FINALLY HERE>Ready to battle none other than Goku himself? How far do you think he's going to be willing to go, and how far will you go to against him?This is Goku we're talking about. I don't expect him to pull too many punches for such a rare sparring session. And I think this is needed, after all the stress and panic of the last few days.
>>6410486Good session GD. Getting to see how our newfound allies are getting along is always a treat, plus I always relish the chance to play Coach Karn. As for Goku...I'm sure he'd be willing to take this to the death if he's anything like his canon counterpart. Pic extremely related.On that note, I'm willing to oblige him. Given what we know is on our plate, there's really no room for half-measures as far as our training goes. Gotta risk it for the biscuit.
“We leave.” You said, the words a terrible weight placed syllable by syllable on your soul, made all the worse as your uncle’s betrayed gaze fell on you “We are not equipped to handle these lands, I doubt any one would be equipped to handle it. We have only faced a small portion of the danger this land offers, yet we’re already lost 4 people, with two wounded and we have been here less than half that many days. This land is cursed, this land is not meant for the living, and…I whatever god remains to rule these lands wishes death to be all there is.”“But Jason, we can’t miss this chance! W-”“We need to live, Uncle! We need to go home, return to our lives, so we may live them, so I may have children who will one day replace me, so I may improve the lives of those who follow me, and so you may be a father to your daughter. You wish to see her rise to our name, and be married properly, well I swear to you now: I will have this done. She will be made a lannister, and I will ensure she is married not only well, but also to a good man. Will it happen immediately? Perhaps not, but I shall rule the rock, and when I do, I shall use all the power our family has to do this. But we must all live for it, and that means we leave now.” You held your uncle’s gaze, and there was a battle of wills you had never expected to have with Uncle Gerion. He was the man who was quick to laugh, a joke made easily in the face of the noble posturing and maneuvers, a man who cared nothing for the trappings of house Lannister and the shadow left by your father. All that was gone now, and you saw him for what he was, another younger brother who had never been able to rise to the occasion, and who now had more than himself to worry about. “I promise you Uncle, Joy will be given everything a lady of our house deserves, even if her name is hill. She is my cousin, and I shall see her treated as such.” You said, placing a hand on his shoulder and offering him a steadying smile. He met your gaze, and you saw him turning over what you said in his mind, and the fear of simply accepting it and giving up on Brightroar, of his chance to claim history and stand tall as possible over your father. He then bowed his head and nodded, no words but surrender all the same.And So it was, Sarella and Asha set to work coordinating the ships and their crews for the exodus from the Doom, Asha giving your hand a squeeze in thanks and Sarella placing a kiss on Humfrey’s forehead in relief. Humfrey and Dara seemed like they had wished to brave the doom, but both were men well aware of their limitations, of which they were close to with their wounds.(Cont)
machiavellian assburgers are the worstI hope Jason doesn't grow up into one, he'd be worse than Tywin in the end
>>6410260Nah, Jason has Asperger's, he's not an assburger. zoz
>>6410260When he was in his guest room in Hellholt, Oberyn came in, took a few blocks, looked at what he was doing and went to his room without Jason ever noticing. Jason aint intrigue material, and it doesn't play into his strengths. He will instead build walls and systems so robust that slimy snakes and spiders cant find grip in the first place. Also of course just throwing his twin brother at any intrigue problem that our walls can't deal with and Asha armed with Valyrian Steel to any problems Tyrion cant deal with
>>6410266Is this the "Order Of Operations" or is it the "Food Pyramid" of dealing with problem?
>>6410274Order of operations suits it well, Jason from a point of leverage, Tyrion from a diplomatic angle and if that fails a more military solution with Asha

You are Kaguya Ryōko, an up-and-coming ninja born into a deadly bloodline and trained by a living legend. Now it seems that you’ll be able to put those things on display during a multinational promotion exam held by Konohagakure. While promotion to chūnin would be nice, your official objective here is to make it to the public final round of the exams so potential clients will see that your adoptive village, Yugakure, has not grown so weak and ineffectual as rumors would lead them to believe. Even more importantly, it’s an opportunity to finally begin to validate Tsunade-sensei’s decision years ago to become your mentor.One shinobi from Konohagakure has just opted not to continue to the final stage of the exams. After all his talk and his apparent efforts, you still can’t say that you quite have a sense for what Kabuto-san is actually trying to achieve. Since you’re no doubt missing some key aspect of the context, his choices have felt inconsistent to you.“Excuse me, Lord Hokage,” you hear Hiroshi-kun’s voice behind you. “I’ve given it some thought… and if withdrawing is possible, I believe I should as well.”“What the hell, Hiroshi!?” Akiji-kun demands. “You’re just gonna duck out like this when we’re right there?”“It might’ve been under unusual circumstances,” Hiroshi-kun explains, “but fact is I had to accept outside help to keep Ryōko-kun from spending her chakra on me instead of resting and taking advantage of us finishing early. It wouldn’t be fair to stay in when other candidates didn’t get that opportunity.”Ah. So that’s what it was.“You made that decision on your own?” Akiji-kun demands, unconvinced.“He did it because he knew I might disagree,” you observe. “But why only mention it now?”Comment too long.

Eventually, it snaps to two names: Hyūga Neji and Uchiha Sasuke.There’s a bit of a buzz among the observers, and you can understand why – both Hyūga and Uchiha are well-known names, even in Yugakure. You might normally consider this matchup to be one of the most exciting possible, the winner of which would go on the shortlist of contenders to go “all the way” along with you and Gaara-kun.“So who do you think has this one?” Akiji-kun wonders aloud.You shake your head. “I don’t think this is likely to be close.”“I see, I see,” Akiji-kun nods thoughtfully, taking a moment to process your declaration. “Hey wait, why?”“I think Sasuke-kun was hurt when his team ran into Orochimaru in the forest,” you explain. “Watch him carefully. He’ll reach for his shoulder at some point… always the left. Like something right at the base of his neck is causing him pain.”Kakashi-san briefly stops Sasuke-kun and says something to him… you can’t tell what exactly. Too far to hear, and his mouth is of course hidden behind his mask. And there Sasuke-kun goes, reaching again for the same spot on his shoulder. This time however it doesn’t seem to be an acute pain or spasm of some kind, but rather a result of Kakashi-san having brought it up. The look on Sasuke-kun’s face is grim as he heads down to face off against Hyūga Neji.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

As her 'immortal' techniques further develop, this will only become more true over time. They hinge upon extremely aggressive regeneration and body transfiguration. With her being a medicnin she can be even more aggressive about it and patch herself back together with minimal side effects.Of course, that fact is something she would very much prefer keeping a secret, so she would rather surrender than give that away. The dances are one thing but they are a known Clan technique and wont draw any attention. That her budding advanced secret techniques are another.
>Wake UpToday is the big day.Your name is Polka Gay, and as of late, you've been stuck writing LOSER stories for your HIT magazine, D.A. Voyeur. It wasn't always like this though....In your heyday, you were a legend. Things like uncovering the Bog-Hogger of West-Creek and investigating the nefarious local STRING QUARTET put. you. on. the. map.Hell, you even dismantled a polycule or two. If there was ever a mystery within the 30 mile radius of this shitty college town you call home, then you've gotten to the bottom of it.However, times change. Interesting cases dry up quick, and people move on & graduate. A good journalist knowns to never give up, but a great one knows you HAVE to keep things fresh.

Off to the side, you're pleased to note that Holly is busy setting up Gareth's tent with Martha's set beside it."That's what's coming." You tell her and she tilts her head, clearly thinking, before indicating towards the brush and chittering animatedly, leading to Latias appearing by your shoulder, looking to Syurm curiously.Syurm chitters some more, indicating the tarp that Sven and his group have rigged as a wind break and then the scrub again.Latias nods, before nudging you and leading the way towards a dead wattle and, at Syurm's nod, cutting it down, before cutting it to size, leaving a sizeable collection of deadwood behind as she makes several poles from the wood, which Syurm gestures to you to position, drawing a square with a diagonal for emphasis with four lines next to it.Comment too long.

>>6410156It's a half hour or so before you're all finished positioning and lashing frames in place and James has packed away his tarp, still eyeing Syurm's handiwork critically.It's not *quite* the same as what she built back on Route 2, but then she only needed to make a wind break in one direction this time and there're echoes of her last pavilion here, in that it looks a little like that one cut in half.Presently, she's going around weaving a 'rim' around the whole of the structure, webbing sticks around the leeward edge of the frames and even the wall of the shelter, filling the gaps with silk, turning the work of the past forty five minutes or so into one continuous surface, rather than a series of panels lashed together from and filled in with silk."Okay, I take it back. That's some fine work." James admits."It really is." You agree, patting Syurm's shoulder and fishing out a Leppa berry for her as she slumps with a heavy sigh.She takes it gratefully and starts nibbling at it with evident relish."So, how far away would you say your friends are?" Nesta asks curiously in the ensuing appreciative silence as you all admire Syurm's handiwork.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Two thousand years ago, a prince of the Old World called Sversk the Conqueror set sail with an army of his loyal followers into what any would still consider today to be certain death. Yet, where all others in history near and far perished, Sversk’s band triumphed over the implacable Maelstrom, and settled in the New World, forming a new society apart from the old, founding an empire that would last over one thousand years, which only drew its last breath when Sversk’s tale, the story of the ancestors of the Nauk, faded from living memory, to history, to legend. Now, a new army of ambition, also seeking a new future, returns across the same sea to whence their ancestors came, be they Nauk, Vitelian, Sosalian, or even of a race born solely of the New World. The Aurora Legion, as it is called, do not seek new lands, but to gather money, men, materiel, to gain strength without peer so that they can gain victory for their ultimate cause: to topple the Old Order that controls their world, and free its people that they may bring forth the Future that is Utopia. They are not yet more than five thousand, yet they were once not even one hundred six years past, and though many have been wounded or perished, their sacrifice will not be in vain. Each step taken is one towards the final battle, one that many of them may not see the result of, but they fight nevertheless. Most hope to see that battle. Many see service with the Legion as an honor and a privilege above any other cause that may be fought for as warriors. Some simply have no other place to go.The conflict they venture to now is a war of a greater power against a smaller, the continental Caelussian Federation against the much smaller but still defiant Kingdom of Petrekora. Some might assume a tale of aiding the underdog- but Petrekora is reactionary, and the Federation far more akin to a state of the future than one run by a king with aristocracy. What is more, the Federation is paying handsomely, and in these times where expansion is limited by lack of coin, the Aurora Legion will not pass up any chance to feast upon silver, for the sake of readying for the Dawn of the New Era… -----
>>6410512Tanq what counts as a logistics point? And how does the resupply situation work for now until the AA guns are taken out (what points can we restock at now, number of supply charges etc)?
>>6410152"Sottoenente Rosseau, this is Sergente Lovato. If you are available, we could use your help cracking the AA fortifications at grid G13 and later holding off the enemy light armor reinforcements coming from the south.">>6410529I'd love to support you moving up onto their grid, forcing the tag to CQC and tearing them up, but the -3 Support malus of fortifications, along with the DC11 makes very unlikely to give you any degrees of success to work with unless support focused builds help you out. I'll probably just be trying my own rush in a minute.
>>6410550>what counts as a logistics point? Those PoIs with the funny L in them. Or a 2. It's up for debate and it seems that the latter is the common interpretation.>And how does the resupply situation work for now until the AA guns are taken out (what points can we restock at now, number of supply charges etc)?Your ammunition is fine, you just don't get reinforcements.
>>6410511>No AmmoOh...Did my resupply not count?Am I gonna need to waddle Etto's big fat ass back over to the other twogistics point?
>>6410564>Did my resupply not count?It isn't connected to the others yet, so no, but I probably should have marked something indicating that.You could grab a resupply from somebody with the supply support rigging. Weisskopf has a spare reload left, I believe.
The year is 5 AB (After Bloom), and you live in what is now called Biltmore City, a community of survivors settled in the ruins of the historic Biltmore Estate in Western North Carolina.The year was 2009, and the time was 3:31:54 AM EST on Friday, April 10th when The Bloom occurred. In the span of 12 minutes and 49 seconds, the entire Earth experienced a super-rapid forestation of all terrestrial surfaces.Trees erupted from the ground and into full maturity, regardless of any manmade materials present - asphalt roads were obliterated, buildings were toppled, and underground structures were perforated with roots. All human infrastructure was rendered essentially inoperable and unsalvageable due to the density and ubiquity of the trees. Some areas burst instead into fields of exotic flowers, and buildings or vehicles therein were merely engulfed by vines, instead. In many other places freshwater springs surfaced inexplicably, generating ponds, creeks, or even rivers.The biodiversity of this perpetual forest defies common logic. Banyans, alders, acacias, eucalyptus, olives, and towering sequoias can all be found inside of the same ten acres, regardless of geographic location, sometimes twice or three times their 'natural' size. Animal life appeared in much the same manner, out from behind trees or from warrens revealed by new roots, equally diverse and at home in all locales. Lions now prowl the slopes of what were the Rocky mountains and pythons hang from the branches of magnolia trees in the now forested Siberian steppe.The most devastating element of The Bloom, however, was what it did to the human population.>Cont'd
You both take off, hustling up the steps, then veering to the left. Half a dozen security officers inside are scrambling to grab weapons and throw on whatever armor they can find, you see one getting tugged out of his bunk and another digging through a footlocker with reckless abandon. Keeping a hand gripped tight onto Leonora's arm and another around your handgun, you pull her along, around desks and tables and towards the right of the grand hearth. Rounding all the way around the corner you both plunge into the narrow stairwell and down below. At the bottom, the sound of gunfire and shouting is closer, and stepping out, you see through a window two figures in camouflage jackets sprinting through the servant's courtyard and in the direction of the service entrance that's around the corner to your right.>THE RED X MARKS YOUR LOCATION, THE BLUE ARROW MARKS THE TRAJECTORY OF THE RAIDERSSelect One: >Push Leonora back, dash to the service entrance, and gun them both down as they walk into your line of fire. (PINK ARROW)>Duck down, hide, then wait to exit through the door in the rightmost room to come up behind them for an ambush, shooting them in their backs as they go down the service entrance hallway.

Reposting this floorplan map from the first thread, as it may be helpful for you guys! The stable cafe/stable house isn't included, but if you look to see that curved wall on the lower right side, you can probably match it up in your mind to the photos of the stable courtyard that I shared further up in the thread to get an idea of where Oliver was earlier, where he's been, and how he got where he is now. Keep in mind, with this orientation of the map: North is to the right, South is to the left, West is up, and East is down! Caught a sweet stretch of free time, if I get three votes I may be able to do a second update tonight (^:

Last time, after an enormous victory against organized crime, you had nothing else to do but to celebrate. The party is going great so far: you cooked people’s favorites, everyone played a long variety of games, and you had heart-to-hearts with your loved ones over the railing outside your apartment. The stars and this cool piece of steel will be the only witnesses to these heartfelt moments. You’re back in the apartment, your favorite pretend-to-be girlfriend asked you to join the karaoke. You want to sing, but it’s ill advised — you’re terrible at it. Nonetheless, this isn’t the only activity you can partake in. Matilda, Celia, and Aurora are cooking something for you. And there’s this elephant in the room you haven’t quite addressed yet. Someone who isn’t part of the team…Matilda, Celia, Aurora, Odetta, and Liu had their moment. Meaning you might want to spend time with Vera, Lydie, Crossbill, and Sasha (?) who are by the karaoke too. Well, Liu is there too, she’ll get an extra moment, she’s greedy like that.“My dear boyfriend! The love of my life! Join us! It’s time to sing…!” Lydie holds the microphone towards your direction. Sasha has her tambourine ready. Vera is trying to remember something important about letting you sing. And Crossbill is curious about your abilities. Oh, and Liu is there. You already said that, but it bears repeating. “Well, I…” You close the door right behind you. Good-bye scenic set piece. You did your job well.The microphone calls you… What do you do?>“Sure, just beware, I’m a bad singer.” Diplomatically take away the blame from yourself before you kill them all.Comment too long.

Your dreams are interrupted by a sharp alarm clock noise. Turning over, you start tapping your hands on the nightstand beside you. As the noise continues, the more you feel yourself waking up from your slumber. The more you feel yourself being taken away from the nice dream you were having. A cute girl was just about to confess her love to you. Finally, you feel it. "There it is..." A whisper escapes your lips as you finally feel your phone. Grabbing it, you press on the side button. Finally, the peace and quiet was back.You try your hardest to go back to your dream, but this time you get another alarm clock. "Sousuke!" Your mother's familiar voice substitutes the chime of your alarm. "Sousuke wake up!" Opening your eyes, you look towards your window to see it was still dark inside. "You're going to be late again if you don't wake up soon!"Taking a deep breath, you let out a sigh as you jump out of bed. As you get out of bed, you stretch and wipes your eyes. As you approach the bathroom to wash your face you start yawning. You wash your face the freshen up. You gargle a bit of water and after wards you do your usual routine of practicing your smile for a couple minutes in front of the mirror. Your dyed hair, your ear piercings, and look in your eyes that makes you look permanently angry. "Just like that..." Those were the things you were hoping to counteract by practicing the perfect friendly smile. Getting out of the bathroom, you go downstairs. "Good mornin' sunshine." Your mother greets you with a smile. You didn't really know how your mom could be so energetic so early in the morning. Looking over at the clock you see it read 5:00 AM. You still had a couple of hours before you had to leave for school. "So, how many are we doing today?" Rolling up your sleeve, you join your mom in the kitchen."The usual" She smiles at you as you stand in front of the kitchen counter. On one side of the kitchen counter was a bunch of chocolate pieces. On the other was a bunch of boxes. You start packing up the differently shaped chocolate into boxes. "Hey, what are you doing after school today?" Even as you look up to your mother, you don't lose a beat boxing up the chocolates. After all you've done this for years now. "Do you think you can help out with the shop later today?"[ ] Write-in
