Round 53:

Round Complete.

Inteuniso: Persuade NPC, Donate Object:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Result: 6

So, what would you say is the best thing about capitalism?

This question, posed so innocently, forces you to pause for a while.

The best part about capitalism? Well, I have to say it's...

it's all the free candy that we get every day! Yeah! You Start Throwing Capitalist Candies to the Brutes. They are Instantly Charmed, and their Eyes adopt a Puppy Dog Look before they start Scrambling After The Candy.

Good, good, kids... Good...

Mental Heal Roll: 2

Mental Health 6/6. Their Acceptance fills you with Happiness, along with several other, stranger emotions. Although you do have to wonder where you got all that Candy. And that Weird, Windowless Van you've got parked here. Well, best get these Brutes inside; otherwise your session may get interrupted by Annoying Supervisors.

Item(s) Acquired!
Candy: Candy is sweet. What a good person you are!
Windowless Van:... suddenly this RtD took a dark, dark turn.

Tarran: Plot:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Result: 6

Realizing that Going There wouldn't be a smart idea, you decide to head back.

Actually, no. I kinda wanna see what's going on there.

Wait, what? What's going on here?

Yeah. Tarran goes to check out the weird Beta Object thing and finds it in a safe place with no traps whatsoever.

You Can't Do This.

Then he takes it back with him out of the dream into the real world. He wakes up holding the Beta Object in his hand and a feeling of triumph in him.

Righto. I Must Admit, You Took Me By Surprise. It Ends Now.

After Barely Escaping The Dream World, Tarran Completely Forgot How To Influence The Plot. He Also Decided Not To Try Changing The World Directly Anymore.

But-

He Decided Not To Try Changing The World Directly Anymore.

I-

No More.

You Feel Your Inclination To Mess With The World Disappear. All Is Good Now. Rest.



Item(s) Acquired!
Beta Object: It just looks like a cube. How boring. Perhaps you should through it away, and pretend you never found it.

New Rule Discovered! Narration Is Possible

Achievement Unlocked! "Narrator No Narrating"
Out-narrate the narrator.

Ragnarok97071: Lunatic Action:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Result: 1

You Regret the Mean Things you've said Acanthus, and Beg Him to Take You Back, despite the Abusive Nature of your Relationship. You Throw Yoursef At Him, crying, and force him to reaccept you.

Physical Damage Roll: 3
Mental Damage Roll: 2

Physical Health 0/6. Mental Health -2/6. It goes as you'd think it would. At first everything seems all right and tolerable, like he's changed for good this time. Then the violence starts again; a muscle here, a kidney stolen while sleeping there. But this time something is different. This time you can't take it any more.

In a final act of desperation you Murder-Suicide Acanthus And Yourself. Even as you Plunge The Knife into Acanthus' Face you feel a burst of remorse. He could still change, right?
But it's too late.

You Perish.

Flagrarus: Consume Object:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Result: 4

With an Angry Sniffle you Snatch The Ring and Throw It In Your Mouth, nibbling on it a bit.

See this, Electric Rat-o-Mon? See what you've made me do?

Electric Rat-O-Mon Bursts Into Tears. The Other Portable Atrocities look on the scene in Disgust.

You Spit The Ring onto The Rat. It Winces in Fear and Shame.

Never fail me again. You know what I can do.

Kagus: No Action:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Result: 5

You feel a Strange Disturbance in The Force, as if a Million Voices Cried Out and suddenly Were A Werewolf and Watching Themselves in a Movie Theater. Or something.

This is indeed a Grave Situation. You will have to be Dead Serious to have any hope of Laying This Problem To Rest.

Mental Heal Roll: 4

Mental Health 10/10. You sit down and meditate. Surely disco will provide an answer to this conundrum. Surely the powers of Strobo Light will defeat the Colorful Darkness.

HmH: Arrive:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Result: 6

As you Hurtle Through The Sky you start getting a Strange Feeling in your gut. Something's not quite right...

You Look Out of the Extremely Fragile Window in your Orbital Drop Pod. In the Area near the Fortress and the Landing Pad the ground is teeming with Dirty Communists. You Curse To Yourself and Prepare To Die with valor.

Although...

You're getting that Strange Feeling again. Something's not quite right with these communists...

They're not moving. At all. As you watch them stand still, tiny immobile dots on a cratery wasteland, you can't help but notice The Pod seems to be Slowing Down as well. After a while it grinds to a halt, suspended in mid-air. You observe with mild interest a bird, also stuck, with a comically frightened expression right next to your window. For some reason this freezing effect doesn't seem to be applying to you.

In any case, you are now about a hundred meters in the air, and don't seem to be making any visible progress towards the ground. A careful peek from the window reveals the underside of the pod is still blazing hot.

You Hug Your Golden Gun a bit tighter, and think about what to do next.

^Round Complete.

[Tarran]

Careful with the rings, Flag, we kinda need them if we're going to polymorph back into humans.

Ummm... I'm kinda lost here after the long break. Errrr... continue with the plot?

[ragnarok97071]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...
Off to the Waiting room thread again, then.

[HmH]

Glide down the rest of the way on my multipurpose carpet.

[inteuniso]

A means of QUICK TRANSPORT! Now those FILTHY COMMUNISTS will not be able to see the CANDY I have stashed INSIDE THE VAN.

Ask the BRUTES if their masters have any sorts of LARGE WEAPONRY.

[Flagrarus]

Yeah, I'm kind of at a loss as well. I suppose we should...go to the moon, still. Somehow.

Change Magic option to the right. It goes to 5.5, right? I suppose that will have to do.

So, anyone want to volunteer for being teleported to the moon? If not, I may just pick someone at random, so...

[Rexfelum]

Yeah, I'm kind of at a loss as well. I suppose we should...go to the moon, still. Somehow.

Change Magic option to the right. It goes to 5.5, right? I suppose that will have to do.

If that doesn't do enough, remember this option on the Gameswitch:

New Players Spawn In Labyrinth><New Players Are Dropped Off At Earth Base>

Evidence suggests that you could get other players to new and exciting locations, like the Moon.  If not, then at least the "Dreamlands":

There are eight Gameswitches we know of. Four of them control the four Regions; the Earth, the Moon, the Labyrinth, and the Dreamlands.

I'd personally like to arrive on Earth before Kagus forgets to breath, but HmH's difficulties in arriving suggest that alternatives may be preferable.  Maybe I can challenge Kagus through dreamsssss . . .

--Rexfelum

[Kagus]

For some reason, I prioritized performing my military service above attending to a random RtD on the board.  That, and we're not allowed to use personal computers in our rooms until one of the higher-ups remembers to say that we can.

I haven't read the latest updates, and thus have no real idea what's going on.  As such, I guess I'll Disco-Disco Shoot Something.

[Flagrarus]

Teleport Electric Rat-o-mon to the moon, as punishment a proof of concept.

[Dwarfaholic]

Well! Test season is finally over, and I would theoretically have the time to focus on this again.

But is there anyone left who wants to read these?

[Tarran]

Sorry, but I've lost interest. Both due to the style of this RTD (not that it's bad, I just don't like it), and the long breaks.

[Xegeth]

I'd still be willing to play if there's enough players.

[Rexfelum]

Well, sure.  It's quite a wacky and enjoyable story.  It may possibly benefit from content/character overhaul/trimming to get back on track.

--Rexfelum

[ragnarok97071]

I know I'm currently in the waiting thread, but still, I'd play if this became alive again.
