Who: Cardigan (?), Paloma, citizens of Tokyo-F
Where: The park.
When: Day 200, evening

[Front and center of this Live you will find Cardigan ('Cardigan'??), who's been dressing a bit more flashy lately. They make an expansive gesture, welcoming the cameras.]

Citizens of Tokyo-F! I have found myself in possession of a vast fortune of 17 thousand points. They say money can't buy happiness, but they also say to call no one happy until they're dead. 

[Cardigan ('Cardigan'?) smiles.]

In the mean time, money can buy you a really good time, so that's what I'm spending it on. The first among you to to defeat me in single combat will inherit my fortune, with all of its boundless potential!


[ Paloma steps into frame and waves. ]

Please request armed or unarmed; any use of powers will disqualify you. Also, for those of you who aren't combatants themselves but would like a bit of action, please see me to register any bets~!

(OOC NOTES: For the sake of resolving things in a timely fashion, the winner has been pre-chosen! However, anyone is welcome to compete. )

PLACE YOUR BETS or hassle paloma i'm not your boss

[marsascending]

[ she's got a little table set up with a sign and a notebook and everything. ]

which option do u think

[worthathousand]

[ oh you have GOT to be kidding—
there's the delicate sound of someone clearing her throat]



Paloma, might I have a quick word?

hey there,

[marsascending]

Oh, of course, of course.

[ also she's like. still got a black eye from when cardigan punched her in the face but has managed to cover it with makeup mostly. ]

What do you need?

wonk~

[worthathousand]

Sorry to pull you away from your Live like this, but it's an interesting choice from Cardigan, don't you think?
I just wanted to take a moment to... compare notes a bit.

[ "Yvette" gives a slight angle of her chin indicating a copse of trees a bit aside from the main event. ]

If you follow the implication!

[tradesecret]

Do you need help with anything?

[marsascending]

Well, I've already fielded the angry widow—apparently Cardigan has full amnesia and has decided their former self can get fucked, to use the technical term—so I think this should really run itself.

Also we should look into identity verification code phrases.

[tradesecret]

Oh, I would love to hear the story behind that one. But later.

I'm not too familiar with the specifics of imeeji-culture that predates ourselves, but I know that Cardigan used to be viewed as the leader and face of Avante... Well, it's been a while since then... maybe some of that is water under the bridge.

. . . . Mmmmmmmmmm . . .

[ looking the betting table over as though Seriously Considering It ]

Re: PLACE YOUR BETS or hassle paloma i'm not your boss

[marsascending]

[ i have no idea how to do odds so have mercy, etc ]

Looking to have a little fun, or trying to make money?

[worldcup]

That's pretty dangerous for someone to give away all of their points, don't you think?

[ she is, of course, debating betting though. . . ]

[marsascending]

We~ell, there's plenty of ways to earn it back quickly enough, if one's motivated.

Your unit leader would appreciate the concern, though. Not to worry, they'll still be well-taken care of even if they manage to divest themselves of all their points.

Can I put you down for something?

[gigadevilbreaker]

If arms are an option, how many are we counting?

[Since, his prosthetics are also weaponized]

[deicider]

As many as you can carry.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Well, then I'm going home to change.

[maidenheaven]

- Just a minute, how did you find a wealth like that?

[ already ready to hit the live button so that there can also be a medic table but ]

[deicider]

I inherited it, too.

[maidenheaven]

. . . An inheritance would mean someone died, however.

[tradesecret]

[ if Lucifel hasn't hit the button yet, she's going to lean in and do it ]

MEDICAL LIVE

[maidenheaven]

- eh, ah!

[ !! startled by that, jolting ]

Well - if anyone is injured, I can help . . . !

. . . Yvette-san!

a dissonance notification

[worthathousand]

Demeter: Lucifel, I see you are at Cardigan's Live. I apologize—I had meant to discuss this with you sooner, but I have a request of you.

[ Amaranth herself is visible a small ways off, using her phone from a park bench. ]

Re: a dissonance notification

[maidenheaven]

higanbana: I've been somewhat distracted myself
higanbana: What is it?

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[HOW MANY ONGOING THREADS CAN WE HAVE AT ONCE]

I feel a little like you set this up just for me.

[deicider]

[we are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong, love is a battlefield]


I can't you the credit for the inspiration, but I thought you might like it.

[jokesaboutrighthands]

What was the inspiration? How best to piss off your past and future self?

[honoring]

[He had been intending to test his abilities or lack thereof at some point. Even if he's not interested in the prize, this seems as good a time as any.]

Seeing as I don't have a weapon yet, I'll ask to compete unarmed.
