Eh. Accounting. Nobody likes them bastards anyway and power outages don't fall into your job description. Back to base cubicle, then.

Find the janitors and let them know about the power out.

"Ah, technology: improving and simplifying our lives. Theoretically."
--Billy Mayfly, CEO of Mayfly Acquisitions and Corporate Philosopher

Turn 5
<- Turn 4 | Turn 6 ->

Try to stealthily escape the building.

3. You sneak all the way to the elevators at the center of the floor, aided by the darkness. You then realize that the elevator buttons aren't working. You hear the elevator move past you - the power outage must just be on this floor. You try the stairs only to find the fire doors jammed shut.

You wonder how this building passed its fire safety inspections.

"Who's gonna get a sick beating now, you mean? That would be you."
An evil glint sparks in Jake's eyes, and he proceeds to take the bar and whack him with it several times.

2. The bar continues to evade your grasp, like an iron serpent that handicapped people apparently need nearby to poop. Lindeman get to his feet and swings again (2) but misses. You thank the fact that your head seems to be as good at evading the bar as your hands are.

Eh. Accounting. Nobody likes them bastards anyway and power outages don't fall into your job description. Back to base cubicle, then.

5. You go back over to IT. As Law comes into view, you realize the entire building is dark except for HR. Oops.

Luckily for you, the IT manager is a bit paranoid so she used the raffle profits to buy a number of portable generators for the department. They can keep all of IT running for up to an hour.

You log in to your computer and find a few new emails.

Spoiler: Subject: Rumors (click to show/hide)

Hit Lindeman over the head with bottle of Scotch and then say a cool catchphrase.

2, 1. You jab at him with your bottle of scotch (1d3 damage, fragile) but miss. Ignoring this setback, you blurt out the phrase "Looks like this one's on the Lindemans." Both your swing and your swagger are quite unimpressive.

Find the janitors and let them know about the power out.

2. You wander around and can't find a single one. Maybe there aren't any on the whole floor. That would suck.

So... since I don't have to deal with everybody's shit right now... where's the downside to my 6? That's a win-win scenario!

That last mail came fast. Typical management, can't tell their own heads from their asses apart but will instantly act if it means nagging about employees. I turn off the computer and go to the elevators. Not really eager to follow up on that first e-mail but I might as well look what the fuss' about.

[11:47] <penguin> i like how half the RTD is actually trying to keep doing their jobs
[11:48] <penguin> this is fantastic roleplaying
[11:48] <Darvi> :D
[11:48] <penguin> even when i tell people that their jobs are doing shitty things like cutting funds and corporate bullying
[11:48] <penguin> they stay in character
[11:49] <penguin> i'm impressed

It means this is at least interesting enough for ten people to check after each reply.

We've discovered a new weapon ability, dangerous - if you miss with this weapon with a 1 or 2 you deal damage to yourself instead of the opponent.

Turn 6
<- Turn 5 | Turn 7 ->

Find fire extinguisher.

3. There's one nearby if you remember correctly. You walk around the corner and find it about fifteen feet down the hallway. It's behind glass, though, and you have nothing to break it with.

That last mail came fast. Typical management, can't tell their own heads from their asses apart but will instantly act if it means nagging about employees. I turn off the computer and go to the elevators. Not really eager to follow up on that first e-mail but I might as well look what the fuss' about.

2. You arrive outside the elevators but don't find Nix.

Continue to beat Lindeman with bottle as I spit out more sick catchphrases yo.

6, 1. You break the bottle over Lindeman's head dealing 2 damage and soaking him in scotch. You are now wielding a broken bottle (1d2+1 damage, dangerous). You attempt another one-liner: "Where'd you get that bar? The toilet store?" You realize that yeah, technically that's where it came from, and chuckle.

Unfortunately, the attack combined with the crappy insult has convinced Lindeman to turn around. He swings (4) and connects, dealing 4 damage to you and sending you staggering. "So you're in on his schemes, Payne? I hope you've looked in a mirror lately, because you're going to be in for a whole lot of yourself."

Time to go through my non-computer work.

3. You head to your desk and find some, but you're going to need more light. HR and IT both still have lights on.

"FUCKING--- HELL, GIVE--- ME THAT FUCKING--- BAR!"
Slap him upside the head, take bar.

4, 4. You smack him in the back of the head for 0 damage, and grab the bar with the other while he's distracted. He tugs back (2) but it slips from his grasp.
Oh, I've got much more interesting ways to play with your guys' heads.

Eh. Back to cubicle again it is then. Since we're probably gonna get swamped with all sorts of requests after power comes back, I might as well take an early break and eat one of my packets of chips.

Mhhhh, tastes like chicken...

"You better not drive home Lindeman, because you are going to be wasted!" Give him a right hook,
then stab him in the gut with broken bottle.
