((Legitimate, game-related question. Where did my corpse go??))

(( I have absolutely no idea. >.< That was so many turns ago...))

[CaptainMcClellan]

READ THIS NOTE!!!
(( I have not yet finished assigning the buffs and auras to all the songs in my tracklist, I just figured y'all didn't care so I'd go ahead and post the roll for ya. Kevak and Lyeos, you can kvetch about any unfair imbalances you think you find in them. Also, I haven't acquired all the graphics and will edit them in later and notify. I also haven't done any of the rolls in the Arena yet, so please don't complain about it. Also Kanaya's equipment list isn't done either.))

Use newfound ability to see her to make it look exactly like her.

If it works, cuddle for the heck of it.

Fights to the death against...

Kanaya Maryam

(( Scaling is wonky, I know. But listen here... I ran out of energy like forty minutes ago and have been doing this whole thing completely and totally on forcing myself. Also, thank Cynderbark for the pic of Kan. ))

Chainsaw to the genitals, Kanaya!

Sylph of Space, she got all her freymotifs, she could make a singularity in the center of CMC and rip him to pieces.

((Urs AND mine dragon bab. Get ur facts straight))

DRINK HIS BLOOD KANAYA

CMC, hit her with a bucket/pail!

who do i give actions for when i support nobody

>BEIRUS: CONSUME POPCORN

that'll do

(( Still don't have the images as well as I like, but oh well. My artistic skill is somewhat lacking... At any rate.))

CaptainMcClellan: "Hello there."

Kanaya: "Hello."

CaptainMcClellan: "'Tis reasonable to suppose you have no idea what you are doing here."

Kanaya: "No I Don't."

CaptainMcClellan: "Well this is your standard death-match. We use what weapons we brought into the fray and proceed to reduce the foe to a blood stain on the floor."

Kanaya: "Why Would I Want To Do That?"

CaptainMcClellan: "Self preservation? To give the audience a good show? There's quite a lot of people rooting for you, you know. Let me stem any further discussion, as it's quite unnecessary. Out of politeness and tradition: Ladies first." * readies weapon and presses play on MP3 player *

Kanaya: Chainsaw to the genitals
CMC: Dodge and throw a jar of suds.
[1]vs[11] The jar shatters on impact dousing Kanaya in soapy water as well as doing a nice 1100 damage. Her vision is impaired by getting soap in the eye. ( -5 to rolls, but full damage of roll if it lands.)

CMC:  Craft a simple garrote from the floral wire
Kanaya: Rub suds out of eyes
[7]vs[8] Kanaya manages to see straight and charges before the ligature weapon is completed.

Kanaya: Do that thing that Kevak said.
CMC: Dodge the singularity.
[AUTO FAIL TO BOTH] Y'see, due to the limitations of just what SBURB allows in terms of spatial manipulation, she could not create a singularity at all, as that would require things beyond the poorly-conceived notion of "Space" set forth by the game/the author due to it being a narrative point and not that practical. ( Basically, ye can't create a singularity because ye cannot affect the density of things, just the size, mass, and velocity. Moreover, even if Kanaya was capable of focusing her ability to affect the velocity of leptons and baryons, 'twould much more likely cause caustic burns and/or explosions than causing a singularity. Also, in the time it would take her to calculate the precise and accurate velocity requisite to achieve cold fusion, I could have drawn on her face in sharpee, eaten a mean, did laundry, learned to drive, picked up my girlfriend, and climbed Mount Everest with time to spare on killing Kan. )

Moreover a singularity small enough to not affect her would dissipate quicker than the fastest man alive could react, meaning there's nothing to dodge.Even further, with what matter is available to make a singularity the mass would not be any greater than any single cell in my body, rendering the whole point moot as it would be no more harmful than a single cell in my body bursting. Do some research into the physics of black holes before you suggest such grandiose execution methods, because 'tis quite possibly the single most inefficient way to end a life with spatial manipulation. Seriously. It'd be easier to make me spontaneously combust.

Kanaya: Drink his blood
CMC: Duck, knee to diaphragm, followed by a hard right to the ribs
[2]vs[12] Kanaya rushes forward and leaps for my neck in a fit of stupidity, fully forgetting her lovely chainsaw. I knee her in the gut, knocking the wind out of her and follow up with a nice solid right hook just below the armpit for 1200 damage.

Beirus: "HIT HER WITH A PAIL!"

Both combatants are so squicked by this suggestion that they become nauseated and lose a turn. Kanaya recovers from being winded.

>BEIRUS: CONSUME POPCORN

[3/20] Beirus is eating his popcorn and leaning on the railing calling out things, he loses his balance and falls face-first into the arena.

CMC: "Hey! What are you doing? Get out of here!"

CMC: * takes one damage as a side-effect of Kanaya's Obnoxious Luminescence. *

CMC: 11999/12000 Distracted Nauseated
Kanaya 9700/12000 Nauseated
Beirus: /??? Pain Technical Foul

Spoiler: Okay, so I read all that crap, and I'm confused now... (click to show/hide)

Yeah.... I can understand that. So basically, the arena system just got a lot more complicated and "rules-y". Here's a quick overview:

• Added active buff and debuffs
• Added "Auras", which are effects that last even if the item is destroyed. ( Or in my case, the song is changed.)
• Added new Status effect: Reverie
• Added health bar because reasons
• Added new Sync feature. It allows the user to concentrate their feelings on a particular trinket and access abilities/thoughts of the one associated with said trinket. ( However, it's ridiculously difficult, requiring at least a 90 on a d100. )
• Added consumables
• Extended the battles to two weeks to compensate for the added complexity.

The arena is on its way to being an actual game. However, how this impacts you is very minimal if you don't feel like putting in thought and effort. I imagine Kevak will greatly enjoy this system. It still lacks stats and currently things effect the dice directly. Also, equipment is now fixed to whatever is in your equipment list or could reasonably be expected to fit inside whatever containers one has equipped. ( For example, my jars of cold suds. )

[Prophet]

Send Maria this message. "Sorry about leaving. I had to go fight against a revolution. After we had won my men have turned on me and have captured me so it might be a while before I see you and Giegue again." ((I'm just going to assume that my cultist have captured me.))

Sulk in room/cell.

((Wait if they are trying to establish a theocracy wouldn't I be the leader of the theocracy since the cults religion is basically centered around me and being a trap? If so I assume that they will try to turn me into a figurehead if they succeed?))

((Wait if they are trying to establish a theocracy wouldn't I be the leader of the theocracy since the cults religion is basically centered around me and being a trap? If so I assume that they will try to turn me into a figurehead if they succeed?))

(( Yes, but you won't have actual power. Assuming they didn't just form an offshoot cult, that is.))

[Prophet]

((If they did form a offshoot cult i'll just escape and destroy them. The only reason i'm not trying to do that right now is because I want to see what you guys will do about it. The reason why I will only try to destroy them if they are a offshoot is because well the only three things that seem to make my character mad so far are hurting children, damaging my temple, and messing with my cult. If they offshoot from my cult I count that as messing with my cult so yeah.))

Yes, I'm joking.))

[CaptainMcClellan]

(( "Atempause" is such a soothing track for such a deeply disturbing game. ))

(( Updating the doohickey and rolling for the arena. Mostly the latter over the former as I have been attempting and partially succeeding to have a life. Rolling for next turn yet to come. Patience and temperance lads, these be turbulent seas... ( I'm exhausted but some force drives me to do this tonight. It's almost as if I'm afraid to sleep... in fact, I am. I'm deeply perturbed and apprehensious and I don't know why. It seems like time's running out and I must make the best of that which I have left... and this, while not a very good usage, still seems preferable to sleep.) On the upshot, perhaps Kanaya will survive simply due to the excrutiation of trying to multi-task so many things... I am so tired... I better shut up though. To work with me! ))
