Yvette's super fun spy simulator: Session II

Objective: Convince Yvette to leave the Ideal World.
The following is ICly known:

Unit abilities are off
Yvette is actively trying to sabotage players
One tactic is making interaction "pay for play," using memories, specifically those of Yvette. (max 5)
False memories will not be accepted as Payment.
Alternate Payment is negotiable, but will also result in forgetting what is paid (roll 1d6 with a score of 4 or higher for an accepted alternate payment)
Use of force is highly inadvisable, and the condition for success is extremely low. Failure will result in a false memory.
Your smartphone works, and can be used to document inconsistencies in the Ideal World.

tl;dr The more evidence you collect, the more convincing you are; memories can be used to fast track, but if they run low, you get mindfucked.
All things lost or received during the game will be reversed upon waking or within one IC day, at player’s discretion. The character does not know this ICly.

The sunlight shines brightly above you, and you find yourself in a grassy field... at least that's how it looks at first glance, but it seems to be made of pieced together tiles of astroturf.

Yvette is wearing a military uniform, and is holding a clipboard.

[ Eyes the astroturf briefly and takes a quick glance around to see if there's any buildings or equipment around. Whether there are or not though, he's going right over to Yvette ]

Is this where the combat training is?

The astroturf appears to be loose in some areas, like you could pick it up.

Yvette glances up from her clipboard without the slightest bit of recognition. She looks thoroughly unimpressed, and speaks in an impatient clip:

"You're late. Would you like a lesson or would you like to skip straight to the practical exam?"

[[ Lesson: 1 memory, practical exam roll 6d6 and score 3 or higher 3 times to pass ]]

Hm...

I think I can pass a practical exam with minimal effort. What's the challenge?

"The new recruits sure are a confident lot. Marksmanship or hand to hand combat. Your choice."

Hand to hand. It's been a while since I got to have real practice.

[ And maybe he can knock some of the astroturf over ]

She sets her clipboard down and takes a fighting stance.

"Very well, whenever you're ready."

[[flavortext for astroturf forthcoming post-sparring]]

I'm always ready.

[ And eager to make the first move! His style is full of annoying flips and dodge rolls that he especially benefits from thanks to still being a small boy. He's careful to pull any blows that could do actual damage, never using more force than a hard tap at most.

Rolls: 6d6 (3 1 6 4 6 1) ]

Yvette's style functions primarily on counters, which is for the best, as she doesn't pull punches. She hits a lot harder than anyone would expect from a lady her size, and can take a hit just as well.

Considering the two absolutely perfect direct hits she takes, it's surprising that she's only a little out of breath. She picks up the clipboard and puts a check next to his name.

He passes.

[[ +2 bonus to any rolls related to physical attack, defense or evasion ]]

The tiles of astroturf are easy enough to lift. Scribbled on the concrete floor is a question:

Why are you here?

Your entire left side goes numb for thirty seconds. Just long enough for you to be aware that it has happened.

Then everything returns to normal.

[Just.

A slight furrowing of his brows at the military uniform before he makes his way over to Yvette]

So what kind of combat training do you offer?

Yvette glances up from her clipboard without the slightest bit of recognition. She looks thoroughly unimpressed, and speaks in an impatient clip:

"You're late. You can take lessons in either marksmanship or hand to hand combat, or if you're feeling confident, you can skip straight to the practical exam."

I'm not---

[Huffs]

Whatever.

Marksmanship.

"Would you like a lesson or to take the practical exam straightaway?"

[[ lesson: 1 memory, practical exam: roll 6d6 with a score of 3 or higher 3 times to pass ]]

I'll take the practical.

[How hard can it be really? (Famous last words)]

As soon as the words leave his mouth, 6 targets appear 60 feet down range. She hands him a revolver that's as advanced as imeeji will allow.

"Feel free to start whenever you like."

[Well for once, he didn't actually roll for shit. (1 6 3 3 1 4)

So while only one is really hitting bullseye, and the two that miss -- whew! -- REALLY MISS.

It seems like he does in fact pass]

She doesn't judge... much. And in fact gives helpful feedback.

The information seems to ingrain itself into your mind, and you may find yourself shooting a little better, if you ever decided to try again.

[[ 2+ to dice rolls related to physical attacks, defense and evasion. ]]

You're free to investigate the AstroTurf, Study, take a Break, or try Acting

[...Takes a pic of Yvette]

Yvette glances up from her clipboard without the slightest bit of recognition. She looks thoroughly unimpressed, and speaks in an impatient clip:

"You're late."

Sorry sorry! This is Combat Training, right?

"Yes, it is. You'll be assessed on marksmanship or hand-to-hand combat.

Would you like to take a lesson or go straight to the practical exam?"

[[ lesson: 1 memory, practical exam: roll 6d6 with a score of 3 or higher 3 times to pass ]]

[He doesn't have that many memories of Yvette to give up...]

Er... I guess let's just do the exam for hand-ta-hand?

[Predictably, he'll get his butt handed to him... 6d6 (1 1 2 3 4 1)]

Not even out of breath, she grabs her clipboard, makes a note and walks off.

You're free to inspect the Astroturf, take a Break or ???

I dunno if I should be offended that I don't even get ta try again...

[WELL SINCE HE'S ALREADY DOWN HERE, checking the... astroturf...]
