COMING TO YOU LIVE

[neigh_sayer]

Who: E V E R Y O N E
When: Noon, Day 15
What: IT'S BATTLE ROYALE!!!!! ....................IN A WAY

[after folks return back to their dorms from their grafitti adventures, every team will have an invite/poster that has been slide under their door. "MEET IN THE BIG PARK AT NOON IF YOU WANT A GOOD TIME ♥" It is decorated with copious amounts of glitter. And if that's not weird enough, for some reason, a loooooot of chairs and tables from the lobby are missing. Have they been dragged out. Weird.

BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT, because 5 minutes before Noon, C hits the live App. All he says is:.]

It's tiiiiime. Everybody who's somebody get the park ASAP! Only you can save him!

[before it cuts off.

And at the center of the park, is, well:

B is sitting atop a THROWN OF CHAIRS that are somehow not falling despite being stacked so high, and also surrounded by tables in a shoddy attempt at a barrier. he is also wearing this cute dress. There are also a bunch of crystals everywhere??? Did C chip them off from their dorm? Maybe who knows. MORE IMPORTANTLY, there's a bunch of other shit in boxes too: Foam pool toys of all kinds of shapes, snacks from C's snack horde, and....mustaches? Yes. C is just standing at the base of the table barrier cackling like mad and also setting off way too many smokebombs]

WELCOME ONE AND ALL! It's time for the greatest battle this city has ever seen! [POINTS UP AT B] The Beautiful B has been kidnapped! He awaits his prince and/or princess in not-so-shining armor! Because if no one can reach him in time, his hand will go to the evilly cunning, handsomely horrible. . .

[SMOKEBOMB: note the following picture may not be entirely accurate to the actual poster being presented:]

INTENSITY!!!

Who will save him?! There can only be one, so you'll have to fight among yourselves for the honor! Win with your skills, your wits, and. . .your Lives! I've got everything set up for you. Feel free to bring your own props, of course! And of course, I'll be offering helpful fortunes to lead you all to victory. Completely unbiased, of course.

Now go at it! Who is the most devoted, who will win the prize of the beautiful boy with the mischievous eyes?! .....................alternatively you'll get an entire meal for your team, on me.

Neeheehee, let the battle royale. . .BEGIN!!!

Oh also, if you're gonna compete, you gotta wear a mustache. That's how you know who to attack!

((OOC: this post is basically an excuse for a MASS LIVE for anyone who wants in! Tag around with each other, attack each other using both the props he's provided and your own, or do something else it's all cool. If anyone gets FOR REALS violent he will intervene with comedy.

AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE C will announce the winner of the battle royale tomorrow night!!! or thursday!! WHENEVER I REMEMBER. have at.))

There's really not a lot of middle ground between a toy and the real thing, is there?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But with a sniper rifle, I'd probably never even knew what hit me.

[eatsthecanary]

Exactly.

[ maybe a little too pleased at this thought ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Lacks personal touch.

Your opponent doesn't even get the dawning horror of realizing who's about to defeat them.

[eatsthecanary]

That sounds like you'd be leaving an opening.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Sounds like you care too much about efficiency and not enough about style.

[eatsthecanary]

I'm interested in what helps me win.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

[He's actually considering that statement very carefully. As if he were actually trying to jam that piece in to his world view]

At the cost of everything?

[eatsthecanary]

[ Intensity please. ]

What does style matter for if you lose? Your ego?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you've compromised your pride, what have you won?

[eatsthecanary]

You've still won.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[I mean, yes. Winning is important. Winning is MOST important. But yet... BUT YET---!!!]

It doesn't mean anything if the victory is unsatisfying.

[eatsthecanary]

[ buddy. ]

You sound like someone who'd give up a lot just to leave your pride intact.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And you sound like someone who wants to win at all costs.

Congratulations to us both for stating the obvious.

[eatsthecanary]

Well, it lets me know where I stand compared to you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And if I ever get taken out by a sniper rifle---

[Laughs]

Nope. Still not going to know it was you before I bite it.

But as long as you're okay with that.

[eatsthecanary]

What is it that you think snipers do, to win? They're not exactly known for loudly announcing their presence before they take people down. That's kind of the point.

[ amused. ]

And do you think I wouldn't be satisfied taking you out, even if you didn't know it was me? If you were my enemy, that is.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I think I've made my opinion known on the matter. But everyone is allowed their opinion. Even if they're wrong.

[eatsthecanary]

And you'll have yours, even if it's wrong.

I do know I wouldn't want an overlord who would take a prideful loss over victory.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's sad to hear. Maybe we can arrange a business arrangement with more of an equal footing then.

Since you're already spoken for anyway.

[eatsthecanary]

What type of arrangements do you make hear, anyway? Alliances?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Between units? Ha, no. Not what I'm interested in.

I'm looking for certain skill sets that will help overthrow our very generous hosts. And I think yours might come in handy.

[eatsthecanary]

Is that so? I'm honored.

I had been wondering if anyone had been working on something concrete, to deal with the hosts. Are you saying you're the guy?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The shadow one. If you're looking for the more public facing PG version, you can talk to Her Majesty the paladin or Mr. Popular on Bad End=Dead End.

[eatsthecanary]

I can guess who the former is, but I don't think I've even met a Bad End member yet. Who would I keep an eye out for?
