week 7

[vicedirector]

seven vices week 7 24 players remaining ♫ monday - thursday Monday morning begins just like the rest, slow and uneasy. At 12pm, every television will go off with its usual bout of static, followed by Katerina's calm, albeit disinterested, voice. "Please gather in the hotel lobby within the next hour." That's all that it says before the televisions turn off. Anyone not in their rooms will hear the voice echoing around them as if through a speaker system, although there are (still) no speakers present. After hearing the motive, characters who choose to explore will find that the void around the town has retracted a bit, and there is now a park and playground next to the clinic. >Mingle? This is Week 7's mingle log, covering Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Investigations will go up on Friday. When posting toplevels, specify the time and location. If you plan on having any private conversations between characters, remember to let us know in the post linked below. More plot elements will be introduced this week. Mod comments will be occasionally distributed to open toplevels, accordingly. cast setting rulebook profiles private conversations

[He gives Jerry (?) a little head bow-- if nothing else, Yoite is pretty darn polite.]

It's a shuriken, a throwing weapon. [ With that he takes it between his two hands, mutters something, and in a poof of smoke it shrinks to palm size.]

They gave it to me like this, but they must have known that I could use it properly.

[billarious]

[If Jerry appreciates it there's no way to tell. He just continues flitting about, looking Yoite over and observing the area from beside Bill.]

It's so little! How cute! And yet it turns into that big thing? I gotta get me one of those.

[Like seriously how cool is that?]

How deadly is it? It looks pretty deadly.

[okuri]

It does. [Carefully he takes the shuriken. crosses his hands over it, and begins to speak:]

Fire
Life
Metal
Conquest
Blade

[There's a bit of heat and a strong gust of wind, and the shuriken is large sized again.]

You could easily kill someone with it.

[billarious]

[That is really so cool. Where can he get one of those himself?]

Throw it at me! [Nevermind that he's already injured enough as it is.]

I've got immunity, I wanna see that thing try and slice into me!

[okuri]

Won't it just be repelled? [ But he's still curious and steps back a bit.]

...if you're sure you want me to. [ Yoite will wait until Bill gives him final confirmation before throwing the shuriken-- he actually doesn't want to kill Bill here, especially by accident.]

[billarious]

Maybe! Probably. But that's half the fun! Show me what you got!

[He'll shoo Jerry away a little, so he's not in danger of getting hurt, and then give Yoite a thumbs up with his good arm. Bring it!!]

[okuri]

[ Well that's good enough for Yoite.

In his world, there's not really a ninja-school, and even if there was, he certainly would have never went to it. As such the only way he really knows how to fight is with his full force, so he's certainly not going to hold back here.

Once he's a proper distance away he pulls back his arm and lets the shuriken fly with quite a bit of force and speed. It gets fairly close to Bill before it seems to hit a wall of some sorts, and is sent careening back towards Yoite. The return trajectory is all wrong, so he has to to scramble to try and grab it before it goes completely rogue.

With an impressive jumps he manages just that, but it doesn't leave him with enough time for a proper landing. It's not really graceful, but he does land on his feet, skidding a bit on the grass.]

[billarious]

[And Bill stands perfectly still, welcoming that shuriken without a flinch and just watching in awe as it bounces away and Yoite performs some impressive acrobatics to catch it again.]

Amazing! If I could clap I'd be giving you a standing ovation right now! Man, you know...

[He has a great idea.]

We could have a pretty epic fight. We're both immune, right? Can you imagine how cool it'd be? Just throwing knives and such at each other, and we wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt or anything. A much better use of this immunity thing, if you ask me!

[okuri]

[ Epic and cool aren't things Yoite really thinks about, but he is pretty curious about the whole protection amulet. Hmm...]

What do you fight with? [ He can't say he's had much experience fighting against someone with a cane, but maybe there was something else. If he had an idea of what he's getting into, it might not be such a terrible idea, he thinks.]

[billarious]

[You should think about them more often, Yoite! Those are super important things. But uh...]

Magic, actually. Like when I have to fight, I can usually do stuff like shoot lasers out of my fingers or eye, or just create things out of nothing to fight with, or make myself ten times my normal size and just crush things easy peasy. Or shapeshift...

[Nothing he can do here. He's pretty much defenseless here...]

I could probably swing my cane around though! Or just throw things. Those seem easy enough to do.

[okuri]

...alright. Do you need to grab something before we start? [ Twirling the shuriken in the mean time, thinking about what he should do himself. In actual combat he would use Kira, but he neither wanted to, nor was it pertinent here, especially with immunity. He's used hand to hand in every other situation where he didn't want to kill anyone though, so he'll just go with and the shuriken. Fighting with a weapon like this was a bit unnatural to him, but he might as well.]
