week 3:

mingle

════════ ⋆ ★ 27 DOODZ REMAIN ★ ⋆ ════════

Whew, what a stressful way to end a week! After that, maybe our heroes could use a relaxing stroll downtown? Just hop on the S.U.P.E.R. to check out the new locations!

This week Amethyst Snake, Crimson Phoenix, White Tiger, and Yellow Rabbit can be found patrolling the city or watching construction.

If you wander the streets, you're sure to run into a prinny or two trying to sell you the Monday newspaper. Looks like there is something spicy this week! Luckily, you always seem to have the right amount of cash for such things.

Should heroes go stargazing at night, they will find that the moon appears to be in the new moon phase. Yes, all week. Villains tend to wander more at night, however, so the local authorities would suggest staying in after dark, unless you plan to try your hand at fighting crime. They welcome the help.

It appears that they have earned some new tokens to use on the AMAZOOM app. What cards will they get this week?

You may not be feeling cuddly anymore, but now there's a new problem. When you go to use your personal powers this week, you'll find that it does something you're not expecting. Hey, isn't that someone else's power? Better learn how that works fast, before you cause more problems in the city!

Early Monday morning, all heroes receive a message from the RANKINGS app on their phone:

This week's hero rankings are as follows:

1st. Gold Mouse

2nd. Aquamarine Fox

3rd. Crimson Phoenix

4th. Amethyst Snake

5th. White Tiger

6th. Emerald Goat

7th. Cobalt Ox

8th. Yellow Rabbit

Congratulations, heroes, and keep up the good work!

[ time isn't real.

with help from sigrun's magnificent aim, whisper can scramble onto the roof and get in position.

with a blessedly lucky roll of 18, she manages to hit the hoverboard hover.. engine part thing... to send the scientist spiraling towards the ground! ]

[Hell yeah, scientist down! Sigrun wastes no time, and with a roll of 16 she goes to tackle the scientist, falling with him onto the asphalt and managing to hold him down!]

Awesome work, you two!

[Thanks, Nimona, Whisper, this went well]

[ Cool, so like. Everyone is missing a lot of context about his life but please just know this event today was incredibly bad for SO many reasons.

He just shows up with his gun. ]

You son of a bitch!

[ AND JUST STRAIGHT UP PANIC-SHOOTS THE SCIENTIST someone please take him away, thank you. ]

[ looks in from my bed like

waves a hand tama is here but i must be unconscious ]

[ His emotional support needs beauty sleep. ]

[ i’m not asleep now. soots lowe.

anyway she is just immediately there. ]

Ryuki.

[ gently… putting her hand on his wrist and coaxing his arm down until it is lowered. ]

[ He has dropped the gun and is just shaky on the spot as Sigrun yells at him and clone chaos ensues. He has to do something? Get Sigrun some medical aid maybe. But she's not going to let him get close to her now (assumed) so he has to find someone else who can do it instead. ]

...

[ she is looking behind her to make sure that sigrun isn’t like. on the floor or something, aaaa help. but once it’s clear the others have her, she just squeezes ryuki’s hand. ]

Come on. We need to move out of the way.

[ she’ll grab the gun before one of the clones gets ideas above their brain cell count ]

[ Zero multiplied is still zero...

Anyway, exit stage left. ]

[ wow. cloneist. ]

[Sigrun was right there and was unable to do a thing because I rolled a 9. She just didn't see coming at all that Ryuki would shoot the guy. Why would she see that coming?

And here, for once...]

Ryuki!

[Yeah, for once she uses his name. She tried to move the guy around, but with that 9 she got instead all she managed to do was that the bullet grazes her arm, shredding the sleeve of the long-sleeved black undershirt she usually has under her coat, since the coat isn't on right now, and hits the scientist. Sigrun shouts a swear that definitely was said in Norwegian, feeling the sting of the bullet, blood already beginning to seep from the wound on her arm and from the scientist himself]

[ Oh, well. Her choosing to become a bit of a human shield, or at last just partially, sure shakes him out of something. ]

Uh -- I --

[ He drops the gun pretty much immediately. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to -- are you --

[ 1-800-R-U-OK. ]

Just stop shooting, you have done enough!

[Despite this, she keeps holding the guy down, like she's concerned if she lets up even a bit the scientist is going to make a escape. Well, not that there's much of a getaway he can make when he has been shot in an unspecified place!]

[ Oh, yeah. That makes him flinch pretty bad. ]

I-I'm sorry, I really...

[she is probably close because of helping whisper earlier so she just... gently puts a hand on his back, lightly? that's all.]

[ He's tense like a wound wire and more so the more people appear, ready to snap and flee. ]

Stop standing there and get someone to pick this guy up already!

[What matters is to get things done, she thinks. As long as the scientist is taken away, then this day is over successfully. Even if it included an unexpected injury, the mission needs to be completed]

Edited 2023-10-12 00:32 (UTC)

O-okay.

[ HE WILL... STUMBLE AND FIND THE CLOSEST PERSON who is able-bodied enough to usher the scientist away, and preferably get Sigrun to some kind of care ASAP. ]

[...huh.]

[ honestly datz has no problem with any of them shooting this guy, BUT given the way that just happened he's also extremely concerned about ryuki's mental state, so he's going to dash over there and try to just. put his arms around him and hold him there to hopefully ground him a little. ]

Whoa, Ruty, buddy, we got him, he ain't going anywhere.

[ He done did a fuck up didn't he. ]

I-I didn't mean to shoot -- I didn't know they were real.

OK. You're not in trouble, so...

[ he assumes, anyway. one of the rare times this place being ridiculously black and white about heroes and villains probably works to their advantage. ]

C'mon, bud, let's get ya back to the dorm for some rest, huh?

[ tama is obviously already here but just slightly offscreen! so they can all go together! ]

...

[ He's at least somberly docile enough to get shepherded elsewhere, but -- as he's done so, he removes four more bullets from his inventory and just shoves them into Datz's hand. Keep them. ]

[ well.

whisper is glad she's still on the roof. what the fuck. ]

[ You were a great shot, Whisper! ]
