Episode 2: Sporty Slayings & The First Location Capture
Time: Noon
Mar Bayo (knightwing64)With the Beach Boys excitedly boarding the train and the entire beach crowd turned against him, Logan pulls the lever on the train and shows off the best of his conducting abilities. [Train Conducting: 9+2] The loud train whistle forces the closest members of the mob to back off, clutching their ears and shutting their eyes as the piercing sound rattles them. The wheels begin to turn, that distinctive
chugga-chugga sound bellows from beneath the brass vehicle. As the industrial structure comes to life even the most irate beach goers back away. You don't want to come unarmed to a train fight.
With the flick of his hands, Logan causes the train to lurch forward, but instead of accelerating around it spins in a complete 360 rotation. The crowd is sent reeling and screaming back towards the sandy beach as a result of this maneuver, cowed by the might of this machine and all of its tricks. Victorious, the train and its occupants gentle hustle down the road.
The Beach Boys are all smiles, high fives all around and one of them clasps the conductor on the shoulder. "You really got something special here dude! I've never said this about a train before, but is a real hot rod!" Even the stoic Ryan Bilson has to crack a grin. "Ok, ok, I admit it, this is a sweet ride. But let's be serious for a minute, what exactly are we doing here? Getting a slick set of wheels, that's step one. What's step two?"

Michael's Used Car & Bike Lot (Fluffe9911)By the pressing of a few buttons, Webster had brought unmitigated terror and chaos to the scene of the car lot. With his immediate job finished, he simply honks and waddles away, his pilot companion following dutifully behind. "You're right I suppose, let them fight it out and save us the trouble, like the Soviets and the Krauts." After a few minutes they reach a small hill on a nondescript patch of grass behind the spaceship that offers them both a good view of the battle.
[8 vs. 2] With the element of a surprise invasion, the Planet X Invaders have the initiative. While the first squad of Death Riders are still fumbling for their weapons, the aliens are descending onto the car lot, their laser pistols firing away burning hot red lasers. In the space of a few seconds, multiple bikers fall to the lasers, the cutting beams hitting their faces and chests, instantly melting organs. Stray lasers hit cars, melting windows, paint and tires. Soon an orchestra of dozens of car alarms joins the sounds of screaming, gunshots and laser fire in the air. A laser strikes the gas tank of an older blue car, and it bursts into a magnificent rising fireball that engulfs the two bikers who were taking cover behind it. Soon, what remains of the first squad is just a couple bikers, the two farthest away who managed to find cover and fire back.
The second Death Rider squad arrives in uniform, much more prepared for action. [9 vs. 4] While the invaders are busy dismantling the first squadron, the reinforcements take the opportunity to take advantage of their knowledge of the area layout. As the aliens continue to march towards the few survivors of Squad I, Squad II pops out behind a limosuine from the side! The counter-attack flips the assault on its head as the aliens have no time to adjust to a hail of bullets in their direction. Several fall as bullets penetrate extraterrestrial limbs and torsos, finding new homes in strange arteries and organ systems. The counter attack is highly successful, leaving most of the invaders crumpled on the grounds, dropped laser pistols nearby.
As the second squad finishes off their first handgun salvo, their belligerent leader is only getting started. Tycoon bursts through the ranks, charging the aliens with his shotgun outstretched like a lance, his face red and spittle coating his beard. "YOU THINK YOU CAN COME TO
MY PLANET AND RUIN
MY BUSINESS!? I'LL SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO MARTIAN HELL!" [1 vs. 6] Tycoon stops about 50 meters short of the aliens and blasts away with his shotgun, buckshot filling the air until he's out of ammo. 50 meters is outside of his weapon's range, and it shows since he managed mostly to just put holes in more of his display units. The aliens blink, or the closest thing they can do to blinking, and fire lasers back at Tycoon and the rest of his bikers. Tycoon gains enough lucidity to scream, running backwards as lasers scorch the air around him. He, and the rest of the second squad, pile behind the nearby limo for cover.
Watching all of this, the British pilot shakes his head. He says to Webster, "It doesn't matter where you go, even from different worlds people just want to kill each other. Sad, innit?" As he said this, a large van with tinted windows pulls inside the car lot, skidding to a halt. The side doors swing open and new belligerents clad in balaclavas and assault rifles team out of the vehicle. "Bloody hell, who are these blokes?"

Paperclips Sporting Arena (naturegirl1999 & Failbird105)Even in the arena's bustle, everything seems to go quiet for the split second that Tanya and Tina's eyes meet.
[Initiative:
Tanya - 10
Tina - 6
Hostigi Knights - 3]
An atmosphere of clear, almost invisible yet clearly tangible aura began to surround Tina, until Tanya snaps:
"I don't fuckin think so. Not sure what ya think you're doin with those 'Tree Revelations' there." Tina's aura warps, contorting like water spinning down a drain. And from this corrupted presence pops a figure into existence,
a lifeform that can only be described as a hydridic fusion between a Minion and William Brimley. This little....guy, twists his head until his eyes rest on Tina. "Hello there! I am the Lorax! I speak for the trees!" He takes another look around him, at the undulating crowds. "......AHHHHHHHH! FUCK!" He stomps angrily, "Everything has gotten worse since last time I was here! Consumerism, the ubiquity of technology, Jesus Christ! Look at these fucking people!" The Lorax snatches a smartphone out of a fan's hands and tosses it into a nearby laptop, shattering the screen. "You bitches are part of the problem! Wake up!"
He is certainly causing A Scene.
This doesn't dissuade Tanya from her next action, pulling out her sleek pistol and taking aim at Tina's lower body. [1 vs. 2] The first shot goes wide, hitting asphalt and scattering a large friend group. The second shot doesn't go off, instead Tanya hears the distinctive
clink of a stovepipe jam. So much for the world's most reliable pistol.
The Hostigi Knights are paused momentarily, seeking to chase after Tina but standing in the way was this bizarre orange creature. The Lorax points an accusing finger at the knights, "Don't think you're off the hook because you dressed for the fucking Ren Faire! You're proto-industrialists, you're the ones who started this whole mess!" The knights look at one another, worried and confused.
Tina doesn't waste this opportunity where her attackers are stupefied, she turns tail and runs into the thick of the swarm around the arena. [Blending In: 3+1(Wisdom)] She encases herself in a group of twenty or so fans, all around her age, all eagerly chatting about the upcoming event. One of those in the throng, an obnoxious looking dweeb with tacky blue hairspray and an obviously store bought costume confronts her. "And who the heck are you supposed to be? Your cosplay is not canonical! Hey everybody, she's not a real fan, she's an outside!" He jabs a finger in her direction as he yells to those surrounding him.
Before her next big move, Tina mentally tabulates how much an Apple II Computer would go for. [Computers: 1+1] She knows computers vary in price. She can probably sell this one for somewhere between $5 and $50,000.
Tanya unjams her piece and looks up to see that Tina has vanished, for now. She can't have gone far in so little time...
An LPPD officer walks by and scowls at Tanya, "Careful there officer! Remember your discipline. Anyone can get a reprimand, even you big boys in riot patrol."

Overhill Graveyard (Euchre Jack)After winning Satan's Legion over, and giving them a rebranding, Galia explains their new scheme: "Everyone knows that Santa is the God of Commercialism. To that end, we're going to win over the neighborhood by earning them money! You're all going to become stockbrokers. Go out and solicit funds, we'll put them in a mutual fund managed by the Midnight Prince, and I'll use my Market Oracle skills to boost those stocks. People don't have to invest with us, but who knows what might happen to their stocks and their persons if they refuse. This isn't extortion: I'm offering real returns here. It's like Christmas: They give us Cookies, and we give them Presents. Oh, and tell any kids you see to stop by and visit with Rudolph!" Santa's Legion nods approvingly of their overlord's commands. "Oh, and if anyone is having any problems online, let me know. I'm a wiz with the Internet!"
The Christmas Prince, as he has rechristened himself, barks at his underlings, "You heard the Queen! We will inflict an evil on this world greater than doom or hellfire: market investment!" [Solicit Funds: 8-1(Intimidating Makeup)] Santa's Legion spreads out, approaching anyone at a gravestone, whether they be laying down flowers, performing maintenance, praying or just staring at the deceased with hollow, pained eyes. Most of them are taken back by the Legion's appearance of stark white-and-black facepaint, but friendly greetings convince the visitors not to run away. As the Legion explains their investment plan and strategies, the bereaved as slowly but surely won over. Galia can see wallets opening and checks being signed, all brought back to The Christmas Prince. After several successful encounters he walks back to Galia, kneeling before her like a loyal knight. "My liege, I report that your Legion has been victorious in claiming $944. Furthermore, our subjects claim that they see our investment firm as an integral part of the graveyard and will be sending friends and family our way."
Rudolf turns to Galia with a serious expression (when is he never not serious?) and speaks, "Achtung! Without spilling a dropped of blood, ve have taken hold of this territory! First, Overhill Cemetery. Next:
ze world!"
Galia Prosdocimus Arnold has seized control of Overhill Graveyard!

Galia Prosdocimus Arnold has annexed Satan's Legion:
+Ally: The Christmas Prince (Santa-nic, Rituals, Battle Axe, Loyal)
+Ally: Santa's Legion [9/9] (Santa-nic, Loyal)Someone taps Galia's shoulder. Behind her she sees a man in a old fashioned tan suit and bowler hat, and around him, about a hundred other similar looking fellows. "Hello there miss! We think you're the best bet to wiping out corruption in this city, so we're falling behind you. We don't fight with fists or knives, but with words and dedication!"
All the while, the fighter plane circles overhead...
San Marco Mega Raceway (Unraveller)Grüber Falx struggles to stay mobile as he attempts flying upwards with a stocky, struggling crime leader thrashing and kicking in his grip. All the while, he can hear the sound of guns being cocked and prepared from the ground. Seeking the strength within, Falx reaches down with his other hand and tries to put Viper in a solid grip. [Wrestling: 1+1(Athletics) vs. 3] Falx and Viper twist and turn this way and that, but the biker lurches back down: soon enough, Falx's only hold is a contested one on Viper's wrist. The struggle also means that they've hardly gone higher than 2 meters off the ground, the Viper's henchmen recognizes the Bavarian an easy target, like a fish in a flying barrel. [2 vs. 6] One bodyguard rips off a shot that misses, although it comes much closer to hitting Viper's head than Falx. The biker screams, "What are you doing?! Aim at him, not me!" Rather than firing, the bodyguards take a moment to reorient their aim.
Viper isn't one to just sit around and wait for his goons to have all the fun. He looks upwards at his captor, "You want take me off my throne? It's going to take more than a little bit of pixie dust!" With his free hand, he draws a wooden cudgel from the inside of his jacket. [5 vs. 3] Viper swings upwards, smashing his bludgeon into the flying man's arm with an off-center blow. [Constitution: 1+1(Athletics)+1(Indirect Hit)] It's not a powerful blow, but Grüber is surprised enough by the sudden feeling of pain and force that his hand reflexively opens and drops Viper. [Falling Gracefully: 3+1(Veteran)] Sure enough, Viper makes his landing back onto the V.I.P. platform, but he stumbles and trips, falling right into the icy depths of an open cooler. "Shit, that is cold!" A couple bodyguards rush to help their leader out.
Over at the bleachers, the crowd clears out from the middle, rushing either for the edge areas or the exits as it looks like a big fight is brewing in the center area. The Voortrekkers are surrounded by encroaching armed bikers from the east and west, but their faces are all smiles. They've been itching for a fight, and when one of them lets out a shrill whistle, they charge to the left, attacking the bikers aggressively to take an offensive position. [6 vs. 9] The bikers scatter as the Voortrekkers fire off their shotgun, a loud
clang ringing out every time a burst of buckshot collides a seat. When the Voortrekkers begin to exhaust their immediate ammo, the bikers initiate a counter-charge. [8 vs. 5] As the fight becomes a melee, the Dutch scouts are forced to use their shotguns as clubs. The Voortrekkers fight valiantly, but they are just too outnumbered: one of them catches a bullet to the leg. Another one is simply swarmed: all at once, a biker rips his shotgun away, a second slams a knife into his gut, and a third in an elevated position kicks him in the chest, sending him flying down the bleachers until he lands at the bottom with a sickening
crunch.
With their comrades gaining the upper hand, the other band of Death Riders runs into the fray with the Voortrekkers, enveloping the frontiersmen. [10 vs. 8] With his back turned towards them, the injured Voortrekker is easy prey for the biker reinforcements. One of them smashes a bottle onto his head and the Dutchman falls to the ground. Several other riders pounce, kicking and stomping him en masse until he succumbs to overwhelming blunt trauma.
In the midst of all this, the remaining Voortrekkers have managed to rapidly reload their shotguns, and a couple blasts are enough to make the bikers back away for the moment. The scouts stand back to back, shotguns surveying their opponents that circle them like a pack of starving wolves. Voortrekkers are no cowards, and they have deadly firepower, but nonetheless they recognize their situation, 2 vs. 24...

"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Give to all those Kennedy sisters!" He makes these exclamations with explicit hip thrusts. "But yeah yeah yeah, let's see that arm." Giant slides off his desk and takes his nephew's arm in his hands, examining it from various angles. "Oooh yeah, yeah definitely got something busted up in it. Tell ya what kid, let me call my friend Lucio. Lucio got a boy named Mario. Mario went to doctor school in one of them island places, Jamaica or Hawaii, fuggedaboutit. Anyways, I'll call him up and he can come me you here or whatever.

El Fuego Taqueria (King Zultan)King Zultan leans over and whispers to the U.N. doctors, "I have a bad feeling about this place, the cameras seem to be paying more attention to our group than they should be, let us quickly finish our meal and leave." His companions agree and finish their dishes with a few quick bites. Instead of going to the cashier, everyone simply tosses their payment on the table. Fortunately, the cheap restaurant doesn't put a big dent in anyone's pockets [-$3.61]. The mariachi band is still going strong when Zultan's crew exits out the front door.
The next order of business is locating a sporting goods store. [Shopping: 5+1(Intelligence)] Around the next few blocks, the closest thing they find is "
Forward Pass!", a specialty shop themed exclusively around Basketball and Football. Even with the narrow range, the inside of the place is expansive: it's as big as your typical retailer and it even has stories, the bottom for Basketball and the top for Football. As the speakers pump in the latest jock jams, Zultan can tell that this place has really everything you might need for either sport, from the uniforms and balls, to shoe repair, strategy books, training machines, you name it!

Pedantic Corrector - Once per Life, you may automatically select another Combatant in your Location that you can see and declare that there is a small error in their Character Sheet. You can alter anything they have gained from an Article by 1 letter. For example, if for an Asset they received a "Large Sail Boat" you can change it to "Large Fail Boat" or "Large Sail Goat". The new word that you edit it to must be a word found in the dictionary; you can alter "Big Sword" into "Pig Sword" but not "Big Swmrd". [Used]

This took longer than expected! I try to get out turns as fast as I can, but I'd always want to put out a good, well written turn rather than the quickest one I can produce. I am also aware from experience of how easy it is for a GM to burnout from always trying to update as fast as they can. I hope that my GM philosophy works for all of my players and their expectations.
One thing that made this turn a bit longer was that I kept revising and redoing various aspects of the game to improve quality-of-life features here and there. For example, it was only this turn that I realized I was missing a space for "WikiBucks" in everyone's character sheet. Whoops.Here’s my character.

Could you pm me when I get in?
North America is not a nationality, but you are free to pick from any of the many North American countries!
Now that you mention it, it would be a good idea for me to PM each player once a new round of WikiWars starts. I'll do that.
