hunger games: session 6

[ You find yourself in your respective unit's zone, with a mini-map on your phone, as well as your objectives:

Kill as many competitors as you can.
Destroy zones by breaking their statues.
Not enough action = We start killing you :)

Underneath the objectives is the number of revivals you have left, as well as whatever miscellaneous details about scoring points—killing a unitmate results in negative points, five units will be healed at most, etc.

The starting horn sounds. Let the games begin. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You hear a robotic voice make an announcement:

"Level 2 Security Alert Confirmed. Clinic Patient Defense and Retainment System activated."

After that, you hear the whirring of machinery nearby...you'd better get ready to run!

All characters in, entering, or exiting the Clinic, or any adjacent area, must roll the following Endurance check:

1-6: The turrets fire rapidly at you, and you are unable to dodge or resist the effects of the various drugs pumped into your bloodstream.

Take 3 damage. You are afflicted by Chemical Lethargy (Mental), become almost unbearably tired, and lose 4 Speed.

7-10: The turrets fire rapidly at you. You cannot dodge but do manage to resist some of the effects of the various drugs pumped into your bloodstream.

Take 3 damage. You are afflicted by Chemical Lethargy (Mental), become strangely fatigued, and lose 2 Speed.

11+: The turrets fire rapidly at you, but you manage to dodge most of them and what little you're injected with hardly affects you.

You are afflicted by Lapse (Mental), become strangely fatigued, and lose 1 point in all non-Speed stats.

[ the highest i could even roll is a 6... LOL. #fucked. i got a 3. WHELP. he's going to almost collapse the moment he gets hit with the tranquilizer darts or WHATEVER THE FUCK... and then start growling like an asshole. ]

[ this is the worst spot BY FAR. ]

We need... we need to get out of here... now.

O-okay. Wh...where next?

[Y...yawning... and rubbing the spots she got hit.]

All of our options suck. We can obviously avoid going back to the Junkyard. But we have the Water Park, the Swamp, and the Forest's Edge.

You can choose.

[Endurance 6. The turrets strike true and hard. She's shot up with drugs and it hurts. But worse she feels...]

S-so sleepy... o-owwie...

[ pentium is going to scruff her ( gently! ) and move her back onto him, so he can... hm, there aren't a lot of good choices. ]

[ the junkyard is full of terrible fake humans, so no. he doesn't want to exacerbate serenity's doll trauma. the swamp just sounds like it could be terrible. the forest's edge and the water park and... hell no to the sewers. ]

Where... should we go? We certainly can't stay here...

Oh...

[ oh she's very tired. endurance 3, so 3 damage and chemical lethargy. ]

Hey, bunny.

[ gonna like

stab her with a sedative. somehow this cures lethargy?

rolling a 9 on adaptability so she gets to keep it. ]

Eh? Ehhhh?

What happened?

Don't worry about it.

[ sedating herself too, bye lethargy. also a 10 so this sedative is hers still. ]

[post shitty announcement]

Hey, don't worry, kay? We'll look out for you.

Besides, I don't think the people currently running around right now are the hunt n' murder type.

[he's very reassuring. Really]

Um—thank you! Really, it seems everyone's been very kind and polite today, and I'm glad to see it.

Although... I am getting the impression that my friend here might be inclined to sequester me somewhere safely.

[ANOTHER 4!!!]

[The trashcan lid is great for the damage, but he still gets winged enough by things to go down.]

[....Titan, do you know how much I don't even sleep normally? DO YOU KNOW HOW TIRED I AM USUALLY? HOW EVERYDAY I WOKE UP HERE POST ABILITIES AND USED ENERGY RECHARGE AS COFFEE????]

[AKA RUFOUS JUST HITS THE FLOOR.]

[wow those drugs sure hit him hard]

Uh. Should we let 'im sleep?

[Those eyebags sure aren't for show.]

[... sits down next to]

Well, not sure if we're gonna keep moving, so you take it easy, bud.

[patpat your unconscious head]
