Round 3: Organized Religion and Rumba PartiesLocation: Rolea B'ier District, Kampong Chhnang Province, Central CambodiaAfter managing to mostly avoid being run over by a car, Playergamer calls forth his followers to remove fractalman from life. However, most of his followers have ran, probably scared of being flattened under the hood of a speeding car. The handful that remain join with Playergamer and chase after fractalman, [Sprinting: 4 vs. 7+3(Car vs Foot)] but before they can reach the policewomen, she speeds off down the road, leaving the rap posse in the dust.
Mastahcheese enters a village nearby, setting up his speakers to make an important broadcast. The very act of setting the speakers down is enough to procure some villagers from their household. After a few minutes, the Masta' gets to work. [Speech: 8] Mastacheese lays out a soaring speech about the revival of the Red Guard, with him as its head, and he explains his mission. The few Chinese in the crowd cheer him on, while everyone else seems apathetic for the most part.
Elephant Parade sits down at a bench, beginning to write his next masterpiece, a Christian play about Skeleton Racing on a boat. [Abstract Skeleton Racing Playwriting: 5+3+3] The rough draft and layout is finished pretty quickly. All the fundamentalist Christian Skeleton Racers will love this one! Elephant Parade stands up, looking for some sort of editorial company, though none seem to be in the surrounding area. He wonders where all the Cambodians go to find editors and publishers for their scripts...
My Name is Immaterial continues to help immigrants at the Customs Office with their issues in order to gain a larger crew. [6+3] He secures eight more workers. [7+2] He gets ten more. [10+1] Twelve more. [5] After adding another crew member, it seems as if the security has had enough. Two guards confront My Name is Immaterial, "You can not have these people work for you! They are not citizens, and you are not either!" One of them waves his baton menacingly in Immaterial's face. Some of the immigrants now seem wary about joining Immaterial on his boat.
NAV runs aboard the SS William S. Ladd, busting a move. "Come on everyone, it's a party!" [Rumba Party: 2+2] No one comes aboard the ship as NAV elegantly dances in his exotic fashion. A few people do stand on the dock and watch him, like he was some sort of spectacle like an escaped zoo animal or a doomsday soapbox preacher.
During mastahcheese's speech, LordSlowpoke runs through the crowd, holding his Sonic Screwdriver overhead. Mastacheese begins promising to give Chinese students additional rights, when LS jumps right in front of him, pointing the screwdriver at the speaker point-blank. "CONFETTI!" [7 vs. 6] Mastacheese steps back and avoids a shower of colorful string, party poppers and novelty horns, though some of it does land on his shirt.
Darkpaladin109 looks for a cricket club to challenge someone on a betting match, but sadly finds that cricket is not too popular in Cambodia, as he can not find a club, and none of the locals can point him to one. In fact, most have never heard of cricket. Just when he gives up, a bearded man in a pair of overalls approaches him. The man smiles, "Cricket...chirp chirp..." He pats Darkpaladin109 on the head and begins singing, "
~Irene...my one and only love...to be with you......my magic show is getting very popular in the street you know." He coughs and takes a swig from a bottle of mysterious liquid in his left hand.
Ddynamo explains his situation to the security guards at the airport. The guards let go of him, but do not let him leave. They speak a little bit to each other in Cambodian, and then turn back to him. "If we join you, what will we get in return?"
TamerVirus runs up to a group of old men. "HEATHENS. RELINQUISH YOUR FOOLISH WAYS AND TURN TO THE ONE TRUE GOD!" [Mormon Conversion: 8+2-8(Devout Monks)] Despite a fiery, lengthy speech explaining the entire story of Mormons to the Cambodian natives, filled with gestures and references, the robed old men do not seem impressed with TV's spiel. Huh, maybe trying to convert Buddhist Monks was not the greatest idea in the world.
Ozarck witnesses TamerVirus's Mormon speech, and furiously heads over to interrupt it. [8 vs. 4] Before TamerVirus can continue his speaking, Ozarck simply accuses him of heresy in a very loud tone, prompting the monks to leave. Satisfied, Ozarck heads for a church, and finds a small one in the district. He makes his way inside, addressing the local priest and then going through the traditional holidays and ceremonies of this time of year. The priest asks him, "Father Ozarck, what brings you all the way home to our land?"
fractalman drives away from Playergamer and his crew, looking for something resembling a police department. She manages to come across a single-story building with a police car outside. She parks and heads on in, finding a single man at the desk, watching a soccer game on television. He turns to her, "Yes madame?"
[The Barrier is up for ` Turns, so everyone must stay inside the borders of the District until it dissipates.
