"Uhhh, pop... eeem i have some info for you, it would be easy if we talked near police station but whuteva... pop. I talked to receptionist and she confirms that the one who atacked policemen, who led robber after the case to police station, are at the old abandoned military base, POP... I am sorry for ur bruh. But i have no idea who leaked info about ur bruh."
You try to explain your innocence. You can't really see if he believes you, because he is wearing a gas mask. THe other two guys also start pleading for their lives, but the four men keep their guns trained on you. After a while, a man in a police uniform but also wearing a gasmask comes along and talks to the leader. They discuss something but you can't hear them. After a while he joins the four armed men and the police guy goes off again.
He barks a few commands and the four guys unload into the two other prisoners, turning them into swiss cheese. The first guy got it easy, taking the first bullet to the face and having his brain evacuate his head through the back. The second guy is less lucky and is still writhing on the ground as the leader walks towards you. He offhandedly shoots the still alive guy in the head before speaking to you.
"Our friend confirmed you weren't there when he got killed. But I'm not convinced about your innocence. We'll let the cube decide."
They take you back to the military base and lead you into an underground bunker. In the middle of a large room is a big cube made up out of melted together weapons. There's a small hole, just large enough to crawl through, at the base of the cube. the leader hands you a cup.
"Drink this and go sit in the cube, then it will decide."
Grab the arm part of a mannequin and hide. When the kidnapper comes whack him over the head with it and say:
"I'm gonna give you a hand."
((By the way, if you don't want anyone to see the one liners you can always pm me. also, please choose a color for your speech, so that it doesn't get too confusing with the npc dialog. ))
[4] You take the arm off of a mannequin and go stand between two others near the entrance. You strike a pose, trying to blend in. A guy, wearing a ski mask and wielding a sawed off double barrel, rounds the corner.
"What's all this ruckus here then?"
"I'm gonna give you a hand."
[4] The guy starts to turn around in surprise but you bring the mannequin arm down hard on his head. The arm breaks with a loud crack, and the guy slumps to the floor unconscious.
"Um.., hello, Sir."
MISS DIANE, I SHALL BE WITH YOU IN A MOMENT. AS SOON AS I FIND THIS MEGACITY 15 ON THIS BLASTED MAP.
The skeleton keeps tracing his finger over the map for about a minute, then sighs and folds it up
NO MATTER, I'LL FIND IT ONCE THE CATASTROPHE STRIKES. AS FOR YOU, YOU MAY IGNORE WHATEVER MY GREAT-GREAT-WOSSNAME GRANDCHILDREN HAVE THREATENED YOU WITH. CONSIDER ANY DEBTS REPAID. THEY ARE GETTING RATHER UPPITY ABOUT THE FAMILY LINE AS OF LATE.
The blue pinpricks inside the eyesockets seem to bore into your very being as the skeleton stares at you.
BUT, IN RETURN, I WOULD HAVE YOU DO ME A SMALL FAVOR.
He slips his hand into his robe and takes out a very old looking key, made out of matte black metal.
TAKE THIS WITH YOU. I HAVE NO USE FOR IT, BUT I FEAR IT MAY BE NEEDED ONCE MORE. IF YOU HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS, GO THROUGH THE DOOR TO YOUR RIGHT. THE SHADOW AT THE END OF THE ROOM WILL BE YOUR WAY BACK. UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF COURSE, TIME IS NOT A PROBLEM HERE.
"Shepard's pie, thank you."
Order a Shepard's pie and sit.
"Right you are, guv."About ten minutes later he sets a large shepards pie in front of you, along with the cutlery. He also sets down a large glass of beer.
"Beer's on the house, guv. I made it myself, just tell me if it's any good, yeah?"Hit him in the chin with my knee
"WHAT'S THE MATTER PINKY? LOST TRACK OF INKY, BLINKY, AND CLYDE?"
[6->6] The guy runs towards you, but you just stand there.
He screams and comes to a stop not too far from you, but you wait.
He starts throwing a punch.
You strike.
For a second, time seems to be standing still. You hang in the air, arms outstretched, left leg completely straight from jumping, right leg folded and the knee making contact with pinky's chin. His lower jaw snaps up and his head snaps backwards. Pinky comes down hard on his back, blood trickling from his mouth. You land like an olympic athlete, arms still outstreched. As he doesn't start moving again, you take a little bow and the gong is sounded. The people on the sidelines cheer for you as you move to your spot.
"Well well. I expected you to win, but that was quite the spectacle. You may actually stand a chance after all. Very well then, choose your weapon and get ready for round two. Your opponent will be a man who calls himself the gardener."
