It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

Okay, four actions are posted. I suppose I'll go with allowing both characters to be controlled individually, though that sort of defeats the original purpose. If I go this route, I should probably just retcon the existence of the com screens.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

perhaps it should be difficult to post whithout the screens, and the fantasy characters get an arbitrary penalty when thee meta character has lost access?

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

Com screen? What com screen? I'm going with the cybernetic implant idea. Kind of denies us some strategy, but makes this a lot more fun.

Sooooo... waitin' on that last action...

More gore! Weeeeee!

Oh, and our first case of EXTREME AWESOMENESS.

**********~
Turn 4
**********~


META TURN:

Klaxons are blaring! You should probably get it together fast.

Goals
Get the hell out of wherever we are!

Current Soundtrack
Some Song or Other...

Actions
RW: Patch up my leg to the extent a past night of wikiwalking about medical procedures allows me.
(...) You have absolutely no idea what you're doing. You spent last night researching fighting moves, like missile drop kicks.
Meta:
Use the... roll-y, mop bucket thing... to create a sidecar for the Floor Buffer. Mount up and prepare for mad dash to freedom.
(...) Lashing the floor buffer and... uh, mop bucket thingy together, you create a might(ier) floor-buffing monster! Listen to that baby purr. This thing has far more horsepower than a floor buffer should.
Meta:Rip off a Robot's arm and attach it in place of my own.
(...) OH GOD, THERE'S BLOOD EVERYWHERE! Leaping to your feet, you run at the 2 robots while swinging your arms arm wildly. Grabbing the closest robot's arm with your remaining hand, you try to wrench it free! Unfortunately, all you're able to do is point its arm at the ceiling as it wildly sprays plasma upward.
Meta:
With the might of Gorden Freeman, the idol of Janitors, Rush at the Robots with my mop in hand and riding my trusty steed!

(...) Channeling the power of janitors everywhere, you burst from the closet! Your janitorial instincts cause you to be distracted by the mess of blood for a moment, but the element of surprise gives you enough time to regain composure. Performing a sweet drifting maneuver, you deliver a mighty whack to the second robot's head. IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! The robot's head goes flying and its body slumps to the ground as you wonder why all of its critical systems were clustered together in the head. That makes absolutely no sen-WALL! Your mighty steed crashes into the side of the corridor as Frederick desperately wrestles with the other robot.
Meta: Um... SUCKER PUNCH  a robot! ...and then run the hell away.
(...) Rising up from your sitting position, you wildly lash out at the struggling robot! ...that wasn't a good idea. Before your hand even gets close to the robot's head, it extends its free arm and crushes your hand in its mechanical fist! It then throws you to the ground.

Wow, interesting game going on.

I can recommend two things though - first, Dropbox for hosting images (especially like maps), and second, plasma is, almost by definition, a high-temperature ionized gas, so perhaps the next batch of security robots should pack more conventional firearms if they want to avoid completely cauterizing whatever wounds they inflict with them.

Eh, plasma, lasers, wave-motion guns... it's all the same in pseudo-science fiction. I was actually thinking about that cauterization thing when I first mentioned plasma. You're right though, I'll probably change it. :P

I only use Image Shack out of habit at this point, but I might try out Dropbox.

Anyway, thanks for the compliment! :) This is the very first one of these I've done, and there's a lot to figure out the first time.
