idolpro | ROUND 5

[Rubbing his eyes to make sure it isn't a mirage.]

What kind of bullshit is this?

[Moving to stand in front of him.]

Hey.

[looks up, startled]

Nine--?

[drops the sword.]

Are you... are you okay?

[Picking up the sword. Probably shouldn't drop that.]

Yeah. King and CEO are having a lovers quarrel where I woke up. Decided I'd let them have some privacy.

You look... hmm... is sensitIV being weird again?

[yeah well, sword or no, Anubis is going to throw his arms around Nine.]

There-- there were people who were injured when I woke up. Hurricane-san and Nemesis-san? I wanted to help, but they wouldn't even let me get near them.

[Awkwardly hugging with sword. Patting his back.]

This isn't a game meant to help others.

[Pushing him out at arm's length.]

You need to be ready for that.

[just looks... tired.]

Do I? Then you should give me my sword back, Nine.

[Handing it to him on bended knee like a knight.]

I'm challenging both you and Yuugi. Don't hold back.

[why are you like this.

takes the sword from him, eyes locked on Nine's. then he yells:]

Yugi-kun, get out of here!

[WAIT! YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE I USED AN ABILITY ON HIM.

ALSO BEFORE I GAVE HIM MY KNIFE.

ANUBIS!]

[ not going to turn his back on this fight. nope. ]

[ he's armed and as ready as he'll ever be now. ]

[WELL HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO ABILITY HIM, NINE-NINE???]

Why are you-- stop this! Both of you!

[Activating Machai Provocation on you, too! Dampening your hesitation, fear, whatever it is that is make him pause and giving him a +2 agility for his troubles.

This better not count as a suicide!]

[ at least you've got the two people who can heal and revive you around. ]

[ going to use quick as a wink to make himself even faster and, not only that, going to eat that speed candy. ]

You sure this was a good idea?

[I mean thanks for the boost but that's actually just going to make him more determined to screw this game's rules.

which means he's actively stepping between Nine and Yugi with the sword.]

I said stop!

[You know what. PUNCHING HIM!

Nine has the highest strength, does't he? Well! He gets a 5 0 0 which is a success, but 0 damage? So maybe this is a shove. Yeah, we'll call it a shove.

Also I guess he takes 1 hp of damage because we are fighting in the fun zone.]

[ while the two of them are preoccupied doing whatever yugi's going to race over to try to grab anubis' sword. ]

[ if anubis won't fight, then yugi will. ]

[well he's successfully shoved off balance. which probably doesn't help him in his attempt to dodge Yugi's grab (3 5 6) -- it fails by one point, so I guess the sword has been stolen now, and Anubis wobbles enough that one of his hands briefly hits the ground before he can push himself back up.

at least he doesn't take any damage from the environment because become so Numb is now active?]

You're both idiots!

[Well, at least Nine being an idiot was really no surprise. And that effect of become so numb, welp, guess Anubis will probably be the last one standing.

BUT! At least Nine and Yugi have a timer countdown. 14 rounds to go after this one.

Going to try to strike at Yugi in the face. Well he hits for 6. Good luck there buddy!]

[ what's better than one knife? two knives! ]

[ by some miracle he dodges for 6, so no damage dealt. yet. let's see if you regret handing over the knife, nine. he'll attempt to strike with both weapons, dropping low to stab nine in the foot with the knife ( succeeds for 3 damage ) and then using the sword to skewer him ( succeeds for 4 damage ). ]

[ LOOKS LIKE YOU NEEDED THAT LUCK, NINE. ]

[oh for the love of--

strategics(10): 2 5 6

tosses the handful of sand he picked up last round right into Yugi's face to temporarily blind him.]

[Alright. That's 7 damage. Ouch. Plus this will be his 3rd environmental damages round so that's 10 point of damage total. He's easily as they say in DnD, he's bloodied. He holds his hand over the wound as he laughs, that good ol' hyena laugh of his.

First off! He negates Machai Provocation denying the buffs to both Yugi and Anubis. Well, actually to Yugi he switches it to enhance his fear. No mechanical effect, but enjoy that.

Second, everyone's favorite Psuedean Falsfication. He alters Yugi's memory so who he just stabbed was not Nine-Nine, but King. In fact, Nine hasn't been here the entire time. He ran into King and Anubis in the Sandwastes. He really should tell King later to not toss him knives and to hand them over gently.

He rips out the knife from his foot and limps over to Yugi. And the because Anubis so kindly blinded him, he whispers in his ear in Anubis' voice.]

Yugi-kun.

[And stabs him in the side for look at that 7 damage leaving the blade in his side. Seems only fair to give it back.]

[ he had been somewhat numb to all of this, but that all changes the moment nine enhances his fear. he had been terrified earlier, so it immediately starts snowballing out of control. his grip on the sword tightens, because he's shaking like a fucken leaf, eyes slowly but surely lifting to the figure he just stabbed. ]

I- what did I- [ king? ]

[ k- king?! ]

[ DID HE JUST STABBED KING?! ]

[ his jaw goes slack as he stares, wide eyed, up at "king". no. nonononononono. yugi releases the sword immediately, afraid to pull it out as he staggers to his feet, arms outstretched and trembling, because he can fix this. he can make it better. it's ok. really. it's not that bad. ]

[ he tries to calm himself down, but he's helpless to the effects of machai provocation. he takes a step back and grabs at his head, tears spilling down his face freely as he chokes on his sobs. ] K- King, I'm sorry, I... you... [ his legs give and he drops back into the sand, doubling over to scream for all the good it'll do. what has he done?! ]

[ he blames the sudden sweep of sand in his face on the wind, but little does he know! ] A- Anubis? Anubis you can hea- [ he blinks, gaze dropping to the knife in his side. ]

[ you deserve this. the sentiment bounces around his hand as he pulls out the knife without so much as a second thought. ] K- King, please for- forgive me. I'm so sorry. Please... please... [ stares down the knife, because what god given reason does he have to keep going now? ]

[HEY I HATE THIS.

grabs the sword off the ground before Nine can go for it, hands shaking as he holds it between him and the other two.]

What did you do?!

[HI guess who just teleported in via genie!! He shields his face from the sand with one hand

Oh hey look all his friends are here!]

Hey guys! Whatcha doin' in a place like th-

[oh hang on hold the phone]

Stop.
