Turn 2Wow, I sure do see the same people in my RTDs a lot. Do you guys just play every single RTD or do I have a fanbase? Heh. Anyway, in the spirit of good fun, I'm not going to set any hard and fast rules, but could you in general refrain from making a character just like another character you had immediately after it died? On the same note, if it's busy, I'd generally like it if you waited a turn or two after dying to make another character. Again, not a hard and fast rule, but it makes things easier.Imakuni - Mikael Philps: You promptly jump in the pond and begin swimming laps. (2+1) You are nearly bitten by the alligator lurking in the water, but you're too fast. After several strong, glistening, shiny laps, the alligator goes back to lurking dejectedly. There's not really any ladies around, but the birds and other small animals drinking from the pond are impressed. Somehow though you feel less awesome, as if your awesome were drained to another place. But you shrug it off.
Nirur Torir - Juan: You're on fire, but, that's no obstacle for Science, right? You begin to gather sticks from the trees. (1) The trees catch on fire, and so do your sticks. In fact, you're quite so much on fire that you just up and
DIE. No matter how much wishful thinking you apply, death (your own anyway) is an obstacle for Science. Your legacy does go on though: you've gathered enough sticks to make a very large fire of yourself, which begins spreading to the dry grass at an alarming (to someone not already dead) rate.
Remalle - Robert: You realize that baskets are simply not enough of a challenge for you. You conspire to weave an entire suit of grass, and what a glorious suit it will be! (2) However, when you go to gather grass, all of the grass is
ON FIRE. Determined to finish your task, you ignore the pain of grabbing burning grass and take it underwater with you,
BURNING YOUR HANDS HORRIBLY before extinguishing the flames. You're underwater, and you've got grass now, but your hands aren't much good.
IronyOwl - Salwir: Another hideous mollusk creature climbs out of the pond. Like the last one, this one is also you. Don't think about it too hard. Now above water, you seek to empower yourself by taming a vicious land beast. (4) Fleeing from fire, a lion has come close to the water. The beast, able to smell your Awesome Pheromones, knows that you are a creature of the water. In exchange for access to the safety of your domain, it will serve you. You mount the beast.
Spinal Taper - Pime Taradox: (4) Whatever a time-sphere is, you erect it. For the
time being you use it to ensure that no grass catches on fire within your small sphere of influence. Somewhat without warning, your left leg vanishes.
Tiruin - Fortuna: You keep vigil. You see that a grass fire is starting by the pond, and in the distance, there are elephants stampeding towards you. (1) In a very brief stroke of pants-on-head retarded reasoning, you figure that the elephants are trying to lure you into their stampede, and rush to attack them. Though your valiant weapon slays a few elephants, this only angers the herd and you are
SQUASHED INTO A PANCAKE, just like in Tom & Jerry, but with blood
everywhere.
EveryZig - Glorp: Being a gelatinous creature with very little mental faculties, you do what you do best: Ooze! (6) And damn, do you ooze good. You ooze over some corpses, growing in size. Then you ooze straight into a lumberjack. Uh oh, this one's a fighter! It manages to cut a bit of you off with its axe. Probably a good time to work on that flesh dissolving stuff...
HmH - Nathan: (6+1) You chant. You shake your staff. You HEAL! Your leg grows back, as strong as it ever was. You even convert the alligator to a follower of your healing magic (it figures it can get lots of free legs). This isn't entirely true though, you saw another gentleman's leg vanish. Not that you're going to tell him why.
Flintus10 - Steve: You're determined to show off your shit. Defiantly, you march to the stampede of elephants. (4) You throw a trick card at one of the elephants and it completely disappears (in a burst of guts)! (4) You manage to avoid the few elephants still stampeding.
lawastooshort - Gertrude: You stand for a moment, trying to choose a sentient being to axificate. Without warning, a giant slime suddenly oozes over you! (4) You take a good swing with your axe, still suspended in good, and manage to remove a chunk of the slimy creature, but you aren't free yet!
agentorangesoda - MC Fly Money: "Hear me, BASED GOD, and grant my request for infinite swagger, so that I may stunt upon all whom attempt to catch me riding dirty!" (6) The GREAT BASED ONE hears your call, and you gain Swagger. The damned souls of the darkened place watch in awe. The Dark Prince takes one step back and, dons his aviator shades and bites his lip. You think -for a moment- that you saw fear in his un-veiled eyes. "Give up!" he says, "This Throne of Inferno is the product of all my Swagger, I cannot be wrested from it!"
