Hmm... I think I'm going to start adding soundtrack to the turn headers to make them less monotonous. Here, the Shadow Temple is perfect for this turn.

Perhaps the

WEIRD SHIT

is not spaced out quite enough. Oh well. Won't be this scary for much longer. Dwarmin/Serious/Zako are usually the first to post, wonder what's got them  :-\

OOC: @ FFS/It seemed like something Ochita was handling himself, I was a bit at odds of what to do rather than punch everything, especially since he was attempting diplomacy. But, if you insist. :P

"Let go of friend Ochita, Boxhead!

I'll comply you right in your face!"


Ochita ran toward the light with club in optimal face smashing position.

Action: Club the White suit in the face analogue!
Edit: Unless a peaceable solution is reached. :I

Yeah, if you'd like you can opt out of submitting an action and just have your character watch like Theros is. Just post to say that's what you're doing because otherwise I feel like I'm leaving people out.

This is something I've experimented heavily with lately: writing very heavy dramatic scenes. I think I've discovered that it's something I'd like to keep to a minimum from here on out, especially in this game. This isn't Final Fantasy XIII with Mario, this is a Mario RTD. And while my creative license due to a different settings does allow me to do stuff like this it's not as fun as silly shenanigans.

In fact, it's something I'd love to discuss on #Bay12RTD sometime as I'm currently at odds with the narrative balance here.

Sorry, been distracted by my shiney new steam games. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is FANTASTIC, and I also got some other cool games like Gemini Rue.

Quickly try to redirect the glowing part of the arm into the roof or floor, away from other people!

I hate having to go against these things, because as far as I know, these things are BADASS and also IMMENSELY POWERFUL WEAPONS OF WAR. How it's even still working with a dead guy in it is a mystery.

Are you sure he's dead?

A skeleton implies being dead, so yeah I'm pretty sure. If he was alive, he would have reacted when he saw us enter the room.

Mushroom Kingdom Wars RTD: Turn 54: Robot defeated...?
« Reply #1135 on: February 14, 2012, 03:08:10 pm »

Turn 54

Location: The Center (Aqua Resort)
Time: After midnight
Weather: Shadowy
Light: A little lighter
Soundtrack: Shadow Temple - Legend of Zelda: OoT

Turn Actions

Bradley: RUN AWAY.

Bradley flew away in a random direction, screaming into the night. In a minute, light started shining through the Center's sparse windows once again, and he realized he was completely and utterly lost.

He took a gander at his surroundings. He was in a small, musty-smelling, dirt-brown room with red banner hanging from the ceiling promoting "the glory of the Mushroom Kingdom". There was an opening in the eastern dirt wall that lead outside. It looked as though the wall was forced apart. On the opposite side of the room, an iron door stood open, presumably leading back to his friends.

Bradley squinted at the northern wall. There was something not right about it. He floated closer, and noticed some very small white text on it:

"Secret writing room
No bullies or Children allowed
xoxo Peach"

Ochita: Attempt diplomacy!
Zachary: Point hand-cannon away from Ochita!
Oomph: Protect friend person!


Ochita kicked his legs around in a vain effort to break free. That wasn't going to work, so he spoke up. The glow of the suited being's arm grew stronger by the second.

"Aaah... I am working under the king himself!" He pulled on the arm of the suit, but if there was a Human controlling it, they were the strongest Human he had ever met. "I am one of his top soldiers, so I am under his juridistion! Now under the name of the king, let go of me!"

To Ochita's surprise, the white-suited person let go, but its glowing arm was still pointed directly at his face. Despite the change in intentions, Zach dashed towards the suit like a blur and tried to redirect its apparent hand-cannon away from Ochita. He succeeded, but the being grabbed hold of his own neck and pointed its weapon at his face!

"Let go of friend Ochita, Boxhead!"

Before the being got a chance to voice the same threat to Zach, Oomph came crashing down with his Koopaball Club. The suit was knocked off of Zach and slid several feet across the floor. Its hand-cannon went off, spraying the ceiling with a blast of blue energy. Thankfully, none of the remaining four team members were caught in the blast.

Light shone through cracks in the hallway's wall once again, allowing everyone to see the results of their actions. The white suit was crumpled on the floor before Zach, Oomph and Ochita, looking lifeless as it had been before the darkness set in.

Joe: Flip out.

Joe was too tired of flipping out to flip out properly, so he just did a little jig and sighed.

Bradley went 'huh' to himself. This could be interesting, indeed. Maybe he would find another book like the one he had?

Bradley enters the secret writing room to learn all the secrets.

"A.. Ah.. Wait. Lets take it apart, I want to at least try to get some of the armor."

Try to get some sort of armor out of the remains, after Oomph smashes it.
