May sends a wristpad message to Xan.
Help me out! Do something intimidating.
"YOU WANT THIS?! YOU WANT THIS?!"
Run up to the nearest wall/market stall/well/hut/statue/some sort of miscellaneous object of some importance either constructed out of wood or stone, and punch it with the Kinetic Amp to demonstrate that we can fuck up your structures.
[uncon:2+1+1]
You run over to the nearest fruit stand and, with a spinning uppercut, transform it into a smoothie stand. This produces a particular effect on the crowd. Anthropologists have many names for this particular phenomena but it is most commonly referred to as "Scared shitless."
They scatter like roaches under a florescent bulb.
((Any chance to get players positions on a map? Every turn? I don't care what the In-Universe justification would be, if any, but I'd like to know where our villains are on the map.))
updated dateuped
((What about the fact that Inhumane Visage hasn't been updated or even ever used since May's transformation? Neither thing you listed was part of the effect when it first came about, it had more to do with her voice than her image.))
((I still think "Give all your jellybeans to the Penguin Queen" was one of the most horrifying images of this game.))
((...What?))
Lay across Thomas's lap.
"The Penguin Queen demands you hand over all of the jellybeans."
((This is SO much creepier in what I imagine May's voice sounds like.))
((Seconded. o_O))
I suppose, though come to think of it, it seems rather odd that they'd only send a few of us to protect a seemingly important figure.
We're not the only ones; The Messenger said there were other scattered UWM units around.
That said, there may not have been time to move a larger force, or perhaps they felt we'd be sufficient.
Ok, before you guys do that, I'm just gonna ask: No one has any objections to the mute hobbit and the hyperactive child wandering off into a strange and potentially dangerous town on their own, for reasons unknown but that might involve a Pay by the hour hotel? Sundown is coming in about two hours or so by the way. So they'll probably be doing that at night too.
Anyone? Just asking.
((Uh oh. Uh.
I'm not sure if Faith would notice that from the common room, though.))
If I notice two vulnerable children trying to leave the main gate at sunset, caution them that that might be dangerous.
[Speech:1]
You run over to Grate and Lyra as they head for the door and start screaming stock parental advice at them like an after school special played on fast forward and funneled through a bullhorn.
"Make sure to look both ways before you cross the street and don't talk to strangers and here, take your rape whistle and don't follow strange men or show of those delicious delicious thighs of yours because we all know what a sexy little boy you are and I really need to stop talking but I can't it just keeps coming out and I'm conflating lust and fear and thats not gonna end well I'm probably gonna end up getting aroused from horror movies and May's face."
You spend a few seconds gasping.
"So, You know. Stay safe."
You hand them a condom, mime for them to put it on their head like a helmet, and then go stand in a corner quietly muttering to yourself
This should work.
Set the leader's robe on fire with my amp. Remain unobtrusive so they don't know it was me.
The leader, along with everyone else, appears to have scattered to the four winds after Faith's display of power.
[will:2+1]
Hmmm...You could always light something else on fire, though.
((Hm. Lesson learned, then.))
Stacy considers the man's standoffish behavior. So improper. Well then.
Look for another shopkeeper, preferably a bookseller of some kind. Approach them.
"Excuse me, I was wondering if I could have a few minutes of your time. I'm looking for more information on the Pharsec dialect. Do you know of any textbooks and such on the subject?"
You're looking around when you see the remains of a fruit stand rocket a good 50 feet into the air. Hmm...wonder if you should do something about that. Because either there's an exciting 80's action movie car chase going on, or one of your two compatriots has decided to just start breaking things.
Then again...there might be a barnes and noble around here...
Be suspicious about the ones that seem to be wandering, try and track a few of them to see where they go / what they do
Remind any HMRC people wandering by that we already have a patrol out and that unless they're here to relieve us gate guard, they should head back to the barracks and sort that out stuff for tomorrow (( ))
A young boy and a girl, who is quite small but whose age you can't determine, walk past you toward the gate. The boy is wearing a condom over his helmet like a ski mask.
"Oooooook. I'm gonna stand up and follow one of those villagers because apparently all this sitting has created a bloodclot in my butt that traveled to my brain and has given me a stroke."
You stand up and follow a random villager around. He seems to be rather aimless, just wandering around, looking idly at things. You get the feeling he might be waiting for something. Maybe he has an appointment?
