Betrayal, Session 9

[idolpro]

Who: You lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: Betrayal at the House on the Game Tower

[ The game starts with you in elevators, the doors jammed shut. You can keep an eye on the city further and further below you, but there's no introduction to today's game.

It's just as well. Those of you who recognize it need no introduction to it. Those of you who don't couldn't be prepared by any host's opening spiel, anyway.

The elevator stops atop the central tower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and then lurches unpleasantly, wrenching itself out of where elevators ought to go. The sudden movement jolts you, and when the doors open you spill out into a room.

Hopefully, with not too much time missing. ]

[Who???? oh, hi Eclipse.

[ ...

Small...small wave... ]

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Cool small talk.........]

So... been here long?

Re: Arsenal

[inspiteful]

Uh. We explored what I'm guessing is underground, so I guess not...really...?

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

[There's a Look in his eyes, even as he's being held at Shrike's side]

Is this how you're planning on defending yourself...? Making peace?

Re: Arsenal

[inspiteful]

[ Ah.

Somewhere on the inside, Eclipse is sweating. ]

I mean, we came here because we were hoping to fix that...

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

Do you really have what it takes?

[Because

he's going to test you now. Sorry Shrike, Mercury's getting grabbed first]

Re: Arsenal

[onetrippony]

[ Are we passing out offerings. ]

... I have some costumes in a bag if you want something cleaner...

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

[SUPER CASUAL,]

Nah, I'm used t'blood on my clothes. It's usually mine, though.

Are you new?

Re: Arsenal

[onetrippony]

Yeah, I think once this is all done I can introduce myself properly...

Still, if you feel like something a little cleaner.

[ Going to shuffle out a red robe from the sack he's got to put on the ground. ]

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He's not moving to pick it up, but something shifts in his eyes... a mix of disdain and pity, even as he giving 'advice'.]

Peace offerings are just gonna get you hurt later. Strength is the only thing that can actually keep you safe. You and Eclipse.

Re: Arsenal

[onetrippony]

[ Considering him and that shift in what looked to be a casual attitude earlier. ]

[ A philosophical debate sounds like a bad idea overall. ]

I'm aware. That's why we came to the arsenal.

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

You came seeking power... that's sensible.

But are you strong enough to use it.

[Sorry, Shrike. But the urge to test them is too strong. Griffin lets go of her hand and shoots his prosthetic claw out to grab Mercury, with a speed of 10.]

Re: Arsenal

[onetrippony]

[ BRO I HAVE SANITY NOT SPEED, Mercury rolls a 4 which means he is VERY STARTLED WHEN HE GETS GOT. ]

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

WEAK!

[He tries to slam Mercury to the ground, with a might 4 attack. But he's not using his spear?]

Re: Arsenal

[softlyfalling]

Griffin!

[ trying to grab him by the collar and haul him back at might 4. ]

Re: Arsenal

[onetrippony]

[ Mercury manages a might 4 defense SOMEHOW, which I guess means he holds his ground. In startlement he drops his dark dice on a 2 which gives him a +1 to knowledge thanks dice for all the help. ]

I take it we've worn out our welcome thanks for the hospitality bye.

[ Going. To try and leave through the dumbwaiter with Eclipse with a shitty speed of 1. ]

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

[No dice. With 7 speed, he slips out of Shrike's grasp and, with another 7 speed, he grabs Mercury again - this time, a fistful of his hair.]

C'mon, where's your motivation? I thought you wanted the power to protect your family!

Re: Arsenal

[softlyfalling]

[ looks at spear

looks at griffin

looks at spear

looks at griffin ]

Re: Arsenal

[onetrippony]

[ Mercury's speed roll of 3 means he's caught again, wincing sharply at the pull on his hair. ]

This isn't- a way to ask that-!

Re: Arsenal

[gigadevilbreaker]

[With 6 might, he tries to pin Mercury to the ground.]

This is the only way to measure strength. Prove it, or I'll teach you the value of power myself.

Re: Arsenal

[onetrippony]

Wai-

[ Thanks dice roll for perfectly reflecting Mercury's physical capabilities when left by himself. His 1 roll means that slam of Mercury into the floor was just hard enough to... apparently completely smash his skull because those 5 points of damage completely take out his physical stats. ]

[ No lesson teaching for you Griffin sorry. ]

[ o shit ]
