((He'd probably brainshock the first one to smash a VR machine. He can also probably remotely disarm explosives. All hail the mighty Steve!
Now spontaneous TV remote deathmatches he'd probably just put on YouTube. I bet his channel is popular. Spoiler- the HMRC is funded by ad revenue from it.))
((PPE- Turn!))
Hmm.. interesting. What was that scratched out bit? Perhaps there was a reference later.
Keep reading!
((By the way, I'm very impressed as to the work you've put into fleshing out your world.))
"Fal:God of Skill, also known as Fal of Clockwork and Fal of Star Forge"
The picture page shows several images, all different: The one in the upper right shows what looks like a tiny clockwork insect assembling a molecule while the one in the center shows an unimaginably large clockwork machine assembling a planet. The symbol at the bottom of the page is a Gear.
"Fal is the builder of all things, forger of stars and assembler of molecules. He built the prison that Algis and Kal-rath imprisoned (the word is scratched out) within. His symbol is placed anywhere upon the body of a worshiper wishing to become more adept at any skill. Prayers to Fal are considered meaningless.
Fal views all reality as nothing more then a mass collection of chemical and physical reactions, making no differentiations between living and non-living; he sees the death of worshipers only as a chemical change. The only thing he comprehends is the capacity of a particular reaction to perform a particular action, and this is all he will change."
"Damn right it is."
Grab Floki, and jet-jump into the ceiling,making sure Floki hits first.
((Hrmmm. Does that disqualify me from the tourny? Having a cleaver thud to a stop on my skin?))
'Well, shit. That's not real fair."
So thinking, Floki made a wild grab for the prized remote even as he dived backwards over the couch.
>Grab the remote and take shelter behind the couch!
>Try to avoid being grabbed-- fend off monster with the cleaver if necessary to escape. If that does become necessary, try and smack 'em in a more vulnerable spot than before...
[Scrambles dex:2]
[Cog dex:5]
[cog str:4]
Cog catches Scrambles by the throat, lifts him into the air, throws him on his horribly mutated shoulder and proceeds to leap straight up into the air, his organic jets firing a burst of noxious exhaust as he rockets straight up, crushing Scrambles against the ceiling.
[scrambles end: 6]
Scrambles jerks his arms and legs into the air, absorbing the impact of the hit.
Wait for tournament. In meantime, awkward grope fest.
Awkward gropefest who?
Milno notices the broadcast and sends a message through his wristpad:
Anyone who wants to enter but has no tokens - I can lend you one under the following conditions:
1 - If you don't win, I'll still want the fee back after your next mission;
2 - If you do win, which I doubt, I'll want 5 tokens of your prize 15.
Check for better light armor, such as more advanced versions of the Civic Defender, used by special forces, for example.
Well, there's the Protectorate Suits, they're similar to Civic defender long coats but covered in heavier armor plates and laser resistant coatings. Covers their entire body, save for their hands, feet and head.
"Alright, fair enough. Anyway, what are your thoughts on medical treatment between fights? We could allow full treatment by the actual medical bay, no treatment or all, or run a middle course by only letting the fighter and other convicts help treat wounds."
Maybe I could make a token or two just based on my services as a medic...
Head to AM, ask for barbed wire for the fight.
You get a few feet of Barbed wire from the armory master.
From here
"Hey Doc," Feyri said, keeping a straight face, only a thin veil covering the raging waters of the sea of emotions below, "Killing another person's pet doesn't go against any law on the HMRC, right? Other than causing aggression, right?"
Ask. That. Doctor.
"No. You can murder whoever you want around here. Assuming they don't murder you back."
Get some water. Fix up some fruity drinks to keep me hydrated during all the commentating that's going to happen any time now. DO NOT USE the powdered glass in those.
You get yourself some delicious, highly artificial, apple like fruit juice substitute drinkable fluid.
Mmmm.
((The Doctor would be less a ringside doctor and more a garbage collector, methinks. ))
More recycler really.
