[At first, all is still; all is silent.]

[The only light is the light from your phone, where a checklist has taken over the screen. It reads:]

___ Make a change
___ Repair something
___ Protect something
___ Find the True Heart
___ Survive

[Then the light comes up, bright, and then brighter, and you are in…]

[The harbinger in front of you goes down on the ground, more blood than creature.]

[The one in front of Levi goes down, as well, both twitching on the ground.]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR ACTIVATING KITTY BERSERK MODE.

For the one that's left, she hefts the machine gun and fires-- dex 28 dmg 2

Wis 10 ]

Re: Countdown Complete

[offontherightfoot]

[The other harbinger in front of Levi twitches and jerks, riddled by machinegun fire.]

[But the whispers just won't shut up]

Why are you doing this? You've left yourself open for them to pick you apart.

Why are you trusting them to have your back, when you know they're only going to stick a knife in it?

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

[ Another grenade toss, wild this time. Dex 18, dmg 7

Re: Countdown Complete

[offontherightfoot]

[One more goes down, and a second looks on its last legs]

[But the whispers are insidious. They crawl into you and scratch at the tender parts of your brain.]

There's still time, though. You've come to your senses.

If you take care of them all now, they can't get to you first.

[You have become infected. You are overcome by the urge to seek out and damage another player until you are subdued.]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ Conveniently Cobalt literally walks away around now.

She laughs and laugh and laughs and laughs, voice brittle-- ]

Alright, who's next?! I'm not falling for it anymore!

[ And whips around grenade poised to toss -- but not at a harbinger this time. ]

Re: Countdown Complete

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Shit. SOMEONE is FREAKING OUT. Grabbing her shoulder ]

Hang in there, Sabre! It's just a bunch of voices in your head! We need you!

[ PLEASE KEEP IT TOGETHER!!

Charisma roll 27 ]

Re: Countdown Complete

[offontherightfoot]

[Man that roll tho]

[It makes a lot of sense, tbh, coming from Hiryuu]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ jesus christ

She freezes up, grenade still clamped in her hand, but stares wild at Hiryuu like... like she's trying to make sense of the words over a droning of other sounds. ]

What...

Re: Countdown Complete

[dragonheartedgirl]

Come on! We still have to beat these things, remember?! We're all in this together.

1/3

[hissterics]

I...

[ You've left yourself open for them to pick you apart.

We're all in this together.

You've learned the hard way, that it's better not to trust.

We need you! ]

[hissterics]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ You still have grenades!? Fight! ]

--I didn't forget!

[ Whipping the grenade out at the harbingers. Dex 28, dmg 7 ]

Re: Countdown Complete

[offontherightfoot]

[holy crap tho]

[perhaps the grenades need nerfing,]

[Anyone, one goes down, and the other looks real poorly]

[It peels off Hiryuu to come and take aim at Sabre, though, looking none too happy]

[And fails with a 10]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ She kicks the incoming harbinger just far enough that its hit doesn't land and hoists her handy FLAMETHROWER -- dex 27, dmg 2.

And while Hiryuu is here, she tosses some grenades her way. ]

Here!

Re: Countdown Complete

[dragonheartedgirl]

See!? You've got this!

[ catching those grenades. ]

Thanks! I'll try to make good use of these.

Re: Countdown Complete

[offontherightfoot]

[The creature screams as its flesh burns, writhing in pain. It loses a turn trying to put the fire out.]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ Haha, sucker.

Chucking a spike ball on it for good measure. Dex 26, dmg 4 ]

Re: Countdown Complete

[offontherightfoot]

[Hurricane would be so proud that his dumb spike ball did good work]

[Down it goes, a spike ball stuck in its head]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ THE MUNITIONS IN YOUR HEART ARE THE BEST, HURRICANE.

And since Cobalt is here now, she's taking aim at the ones swooping him, grenade flying. Dex 15, dmg 8. ]

Re: Countdown Complete

[we_meet_again]

[a moment later, he's back at her side, weapons in hand and looking twice as determined as before.]

I'm back.

[He flings a shuriken at a harbinger, which screams and roils as it's sliced nearly in two]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ Does she seem... relieved? To see him?

Nah.

Imagination. ]

About time.

Re: Countdown Complete

[we_meet_again]

[A harbinger coming from the opposite direction bites him, hard, cracking his armor and sending blood running out through the cracks.]

—NNG!

[He staggers and flings a shuriken at it as it goes. Dex 25, Dam 5]

Re: Countdown Complete

[offontherightfoot]

[The one he hits is severed in two, both halves falling to the ground in a spray of black blood]

[The remaining one descends with its claws outstretched, 21 (dam 4)]

Re: Countdown Complete

[hissterics]

[ NOPE, THIS GUY BELONGS TO HER, SHE DECIDED 2 SECONDS AGO ]

Stop!

[ Flinging the gravity bomb as the last one swoop in, dex 17 ]
