Hunger Games: Session 12

[idolpro]

[ 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. ]

[PWR: 4]

[And that's about where she stops thinking about anything but clawing at Alexander's hands to try and pry them loose from her throat.

[He really, she realizes numbly, is an awful lot bigger than her--]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[firstworldproblem]

[She has a gun, right?

He activates puppeteering.]

I wish I could say no hard feelings, but I do.

But even after all this time, I do have the respect for you and the other Scions, as close as we had become.

[He rests his forefinger under his own chin and mimes pulling a trigger.]

A new challenger has arrived

[leaveofabsence]

[ Hey guys what's happening here...







Oh.

This was very low on the list of things he was expecting to see when heading back to the dreaded water park. ]

Re: A new challenger has arrived

[outofoffice]

[ Right behind Zhongli--





UHHHHHHHHHH ]

Re: A new challenger has arrived

[firstworldproblem]

[He's got Caeli's ... corpse is a generous term in one arm and now has blood all over one side of his face from close range shooting.]

Did you enjoy the show?

SOMETIME LATER

[leaveofabsence]

[ He goes to pick up Caeli's mask and what reminds of his goo body.

Thanks, Emet.

And you ask why the Heart Weapon dealt no damage? ]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[scattershot]

Wha--

[This is the second time--

[(should have dropped the gun)

[the second time, and what can she do about any of it?

[--why, she's thinking desperately, frantically (her mind is screaming at her; her limbs have a mind of their own; she could break both her arms and it would change nothing, nothing at all; she's no more in control than she had been when, back when, when Alphinaud--) why can't I make myself--]

Stop!

[It hurts, as the barrel of the gun is forced hard against her chin.

[And she can't do anything about that, either.]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[firstworldproblem]

[He does at least let her down gently, but takes her gun.

He does give a bow of his head before he moves onto his next set of guests.]

1/2

[leaveofabsence]

You know I cannot let that stand. Just as I know why you did it.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[leaveofabsence]

[ And then he brandishes his Heart Weapon at Alexander and it attacks.

Rolls don't matter because he's using it as a way to burn through his dodge and also this is a Heart Weapon so it's not going to hurt Alexander anyway. Or at least not at full power. ]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[firstworldproblem]

[He seems a little shocked when the spear goes through him and does ...... no damage.]

And for what do I owe this?

[POW attack of 6 to shove the spear back at him.]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[leaveofabsence]

[ END: 4 so takes 2 damage.

But he's just lining up the shot for the other archon ]

I wonder...

[ Pinned for you, Venti. Please get Sensitiv! some points on the board. ]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[outofoffice]

[ This wasn't very cash money of you, Emet Selch.

Dispensing with all of his usual dramatics and just wordlessly firing the shotgun into Emet's chest. Agility 13. ]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[firstworldproblem]

[Everyone had a good time. He's hearing no complaints from Alisaie. Right, Alisaie?

END 6

SNIPPED AND DEAD. Exactly 0. Well, done!

He slumps to the ground. He has laser gun if you want it. :)]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[leaveofabsence]

[ Crouches down to close Emet's eyes and pick up the laser gun which... wtf is an agility---?

Holding it out to Venti. ]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[outofoffice]

[ Thanks dear, but, ]

. . . I don't want it.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[leaveofabsence]

[ Sticking it in his belt then ]

As you wish.

[ And he's going to start dragging corpses so they are at least in more peaceful(?) positions before draping what's left of his long coat over them. ]

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[outofoffice]

[ Leaving that to him ]

I'm sorry about Caeli, and your unitmate.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[leaveofabsence]

Thank you. I am sorry, too.

And for Alexander as well.

And yourself.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[outofoffice]

[ A long pause, glancing at the body ]

. . . You've always had strange taste in friends, Morax.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[leaveofabsence]

Yes, I suppose I do. And I'm much too old and stubborn to do anything about that now.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[outofoffice]

Ahhhh, you admitted it.

You must be feeling very pensive after all.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[leaveofabsence]

I do not know what I should be feeling at this moment.

Should I feel remorse for Childe who got the fight he has been craving for months instead of the cloak and dagger games that the production forces us to play?

Should I feel angry at Alexander who looked after his corpse when it was not necessary to do so?

Should I find foul play in the way Alisaie died when she used an AlcheME! prophecy to take the life of another previously?

All around, I only see shades of murky grey.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[outofoffice]

[ Taking Zhongli's arm to heal the slight damage he took in the scuffle ]

It's simple really. I think you should feel however you feel.

Re: C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

[leaveofabsence]

[ 1 HP. ]

If only I could keep this as simple as you can.

[ A long pause before he puts his hand over Venti's. ]

And what are you feeling now?
