Not sparing even a moment to lose, ziizo madly bikes for Elliot Bay! [Biking: 1] As he pedals with all the force he can muster, his attention is unfortunately diverted from the city around him. In particular, his attention is especially diverted from the car that smashes into him as he runs through a red light! His body is sent flying through the air, flopping like a fish out of water when he hits the ground as his bones break with a sickening crunch, smashed against the asphalt as the bike skitters across the street! The passers-by scream, and out of the corner of his eye ziizo can see the driver of the car panickedly get out of his car and run towards him, with a cellphone in hand.
Back inside the Triple Door, the action takes a much less visceral turn, yet no less of a violent one. After receiving a brutal tongue-lashing from his boss, Puppyguard's mafioso takes aim at ziizo once more [6 v 1-2], this time hitting his mark spot-on! Bullets tear into Yottawhat's flesh, only barely slowed down from the cement covering his body. As this goes on, Puppyguard attempts to throw a blown-off chunk of the asteroid at Failbird, but cannot as she has already vacated the premises.
As Secheral's brand new human shield sputters and curses confusedly, the two make their way over to the discarded German BDSM Dictionary as Secheral rummages through his associate's pockets for a phone. [Thievery: 3] Unfortunately, the gentleman doesn't appear to have a phone in his pockets, or anything at all for that matter. Secheral does, however, manage to scuttle over to the BDSM book and take possession of it.
Seeing Yottawhat's compromised position, King Zultan moves in for the kill! [10 v 6 - 2 (Concrete) - 2 (Pain)] Pressing his pistol up to Yottawhat's head, Zultan pulls the trigger, causing blood and brains to erupt from Yottawhat's head, splattering all over the place!
King Zultan executed Yottawhat! +Article: Wolmaransstad CommandoAs the audience recoils back, a fairly modern-looking set of army fatigues shimmer over Zultan's body, replacing his modern clothes as a dangerous-looking assault rifle appears on his back!
Hearing the gunshots back in the Triple Door, Failbird breaks into a mad dash for Elliot Bay! [Running: 1] In a matter eerily similar to what befell ziizo but a few moments ago, she tries to dash through a red light but fails to notice the speeding station wagon careening straight for her! She goes careening through the air, sent flying into the side of a building, where her bones shatter immediately upon impact! She slides down the brick wall, leaving a slick trail of blood behind her as horrified bystanders pull out their phones and start calling 911!
Pushing the various cats out of the way, NAV too starts to run for Elliot Bay! [Running: 5] Unlike the more impatient wiki-warriors, she stops at every red light and waits for the walk signals to indicate that it is safe to cross. While this is much slower than it could have been, it does prevent her from getting smashed into by a wayward car. As she comes into visual range of her Biplane, NAV also tries to appraise it, thinking how much it might cost to a serious collector. [Appraisal: 4]. Though not a professional accountant, NAV does know that to a collector or a museum, it would probably be worth a whole damn lot if it was kept in mint condition.
Even though his target just got their brains blown out by King Zultan, OceanSoul decides that it is still the time to sing more "Ballroom Blitz"! [Singing: 5+2+2+1] Though not as exceptional as the first verse, it is still staggeringly good, and elicits a few more claps from the audience.
[Audience Reaction: 6 - 4 (Brutal Murder) +3 (Singing)]
The audience is uneasy. It is only a matter of time before that they figure out that this isn't some strange modern art piece and that someone actually just got murdered in front of them.
Just a few blocks away in Seattle's own
Pike Place Market, another exceptionally strange individual pops into existence. Skilled in the fields of theology, music, and construction, this religiously-clad individual is far more than what meets the eye. As he surveys the commerce going on around him, the very fabric of reality seems to distort around his body.
At the same time, a gigantic Greek frigate pops into existence a few feet above the water in Elliot bay, scaring the absolute shit out of a lone couple making out on the docks.
