SnD- Stage 3-9.5: Anarchy in the USA

Ostrelephant:
Oh well hay there, sure do appreciate all the help

Ostrelephant:
now I'm crunchy experiment food
Dookie: (( and so continuing off from last time, I assume you make a break for it to room...what was it now, room m I assume ))
Thrice: (( let me check, I remember more that I was going to just beat the thing down ))
Thrice: (( I know at least I was changing styles ))
Dookie: (( oh yes ))
Dookie: (( you were gonna transform into that other thing ))
Thrice: (( cause Angel can't fight this thing, or any of these things ))
Thrice: (( er okay I can't check ))
Thrice: (( log does not exit ))
Thrice: (( Anyhow ))
Dookie: (( Was planning on inserting this into the log because otherwise it's too short ))
Dookie: (( but sure here's the first part now ))
Dookie: (( http://pastebin.com/04C4du0Y ))
Darius: (( you can always edit this into that later ))
Dookie: (( was planning to ))

Darius:
Darius continues to run down the hall, with Angel flittering behind him moaning and complaining, "Now, which to...I have no choice, again? Eh...whatever. I tire of being watched. That's my job!" Darius takes out a small laserpointer-esque instrument, spins the ring on his glove to activate it(most new inventions have this failsafe so that only Darius can use them), and directs its light toward the various cameras in the surrounding area - he knows where they all are, having been their installer. The light's designed to fry OTHER people's cameras, or more accurately their lenses, but it works just fine on his own as well. "Now...to get this started."
Darius: (( and if you see anything that needs a story point or whatever tell me ))
Darius: (( obv I already got my free one for this "session" last night, since I'm pretty srue this is supposed to count as the same session ))
Darius: (( needed a tiny bit more space (waiting) ))

Warra:
"(Khh, gonna try and disable my POV huh? Try as you may, it's not like I need to see in order to run my commands...Now, go my beast!)"

Darius:
"Sorry, Angel. With feeling this time... Modus Divina Tempus, disengage!" Angel begins to flicker, but before she can disappear, a large(comparatively), golden metropolis of whirring gears and shining light forms around her, swallowing her whole!

Darius:
You know, I probably should have been facing the thing

Darius:
even if I'm running from it
Tokens dropped onto map 'Darius' Lab' by player Thrice (Player)

Dookie:
Doobie roars, but winces a bit after being blinded by the shiiining liiiight. His backing footsteps create a loud thump as he does.

Seven Cities Of Gold:
The metropolis in question, after encapsulating the glowing machinery, whirs ever fiercer, like an engine being revved far beyond its limit. Clockwork's long since been obscured from view by now, but soon, the "city" folds upwards into itself, disappearing, and leaving behind something else entirely.

Darius:
"No choice...not enough power for the Anarchist. With that...Modus Credo: Brought Up To Believe, engage. I should really back up..."
Tokens dropped onto map 'Darius' Lab' by player Thrice (Player)

Warra:
Warra smirks and gives her pocky a big crunch. "(Interesting. Counterpicking already? I better keep my eyes peeled, because I'm calling hax here. Oh wait, I'M the hax!)"
Darius: (( too bad your eyes don't exist ))
Darius: (( Unless you can see through Dookie's (CRS) ))

BU2B:
The new "Replicant," a much more...organic-appearing being, doesn't look toward its foe or Darius, instead gauging the situation with its voice, "You call me with such words of regret. Always, was I the least of the three, but are you unable to show gratitude? It's that little "angel" of yours that's done this to you."

Dookie:
"Grooworrr...." The unspeakable monstrosity rubs its eyes and gets ahold of itself again, reattuning its unfinished muscles and breathing heavily.

Darius:
"Quiet, destroy it, and let's get out of here. It's a shame you aren't that little Angel...at least then I could rush to Marian while you fought. But you don't have that capability."

BU2B:
This thing does have Range D, even if its moves themselves have the Ranged element, it can't go far from Darius

BU2B:
I'm uh, not actually sure how far it CAN go
Dookie: (( If it's range D, that's usually about one range ahead of you (as in, right next to you, and one space ahead of that if you spend 1 FS) ))

Dookie:
Dookie beats its chest and runs its slimy ass towards you, fully intending to beat your ass into submission

Dookie:
 Initiative (1d6): 6 + 0 = 6 1 FS used! Control (1d8): 5 + 0 = 5

BU2B:
BU2B prepares himself for a battle, "It has been a while. The first fight in so long, and Divina is not chosen. You must have broken what heart she has." He directs his attention back to Dookie, "Poor, misguided fool. Forced into such a warped life, and then right out of it, by the same man."

Darius:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 7 + 0 = 7 Control (1d8): 4 + 2 = 6

Dookie:
Dookie raises its hand up slightly, but still goes on offense, unafraid of such bizarre changes

Dookie:
Dookie uses 1 Fighting Spirit!

Warra:
"(Buuuh. Without any good camera angles, all I can do is go into RTS mode...)" Warra grumpily chews on her snacks

BU2B:
BU2B, or Credo for convenience's sake, backs up for safety, locks eyes with the monstrosity, and summons light and air from the being's very body, which mixes with his soul, molding into starlike gears that grind into the creature's body. After that, as the creature writhes in pain, a whirlwind whips up around it...but it's not regular air. It's pure oxygen - thieved straight from the enemy's body itself. Credo has taken ALL of the oxygen from the monster's body - lungs, blood, brain, muscles, there's none left to fuel any of its functions at all. "You should have killed him before he called me."

Darius:
worst thing about having a Replicant that actually does its own thing is having to reimpersonate to spend FS

Darius:
Darius uses 3 Fighting Spirit!
BU2B: (( I guess each of these is a Range ))
Warra: (( it sure is ))

BU2B:
« 1d6+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 » +1 Control, but -1 for having a Special Move not be the first
Warra: (( what move was that exactly ))

BU2B:
Clockwork Universe, comboed Final Breath

BU2B:
into*

BU2B:
the latter of which is an all-suppression move
Warra: (( good lord this nigga's moveset is huge ))
BU2B: (( Er ))
BU2B: (( Only the final two(or three, counting the Style Change) moves are his ))
BU2B: (( ALl the moves are in all the tokens, in case I want to switch mid-combo ))
Warra: (( o ic ))
Warra: (( either way yeah that hits ))

BU2B:
« 1d6 = 2 » damage, Harry, Critical Hit, Fast Recovery for the first move

BU2B:
The second just, well, look at Suppression in the R2 book
Warra: (( so all suppression is like, no special moves, no movement, and.... ))

BU2B:
the move itself says Super/Special/Movement but I actually spent all 6 Elements
Warra: (( no supers, no techniques, no basic moves, no def- so yeah, just pretty much nothing for a 5 count, that's simple enough ))
BU2B: (( 5 count, or until he's hit ))

Dookie:
Dookie loses 2 hit points.

Dookie:
"Gwwooooorgh...." One does not take having your everything ripped out very well
BU2B: (( Oh wait, it doesn't actulaly suppress Movement, that's the Round 1 Version ))
BU2B: (( So he can still move ))
BU2B: (( Or...Oh, okay. That's fucking confusing, but I see how it works now. Goddamned fine print. It looks like I spent 3 Elements to suppress Supers and Specials, and then there's this clause ))
BU2B: (( The suppression of movement can be added to a Suppression move that suppresses Special Moves for an additional three Elements (though it only costs one Element on its own) ))
BU2B: (( Dunno why the hell they did it that way ))
BU2B: (( So you've still got your Techniques and Basics and shit ))
BU2B: (( Just no Movement, Specials, or Supers ))
BU2B: (( These DON'T end when you're hit, though, only after a 5-count ))
    Error in body of roll.       Statement options (if any): h       Statement Body : switchToken("Timer99")
BU2B: (( The "ends when hit" clause is only for if you suppress Techniques and on ))
BU2B: (( I guess that explains why I labeled it how I did ))
Timer falls from 68 to 62!
BU2B: (( Even if it only ended up causing more confusion (CRS) ))
Timer reset! 99 seconds on the clock!
Timer falls from 99 to 94!
BU2B: (( damn, I was gonna spend--m ))
BU2B: (( Well, it lasts for at least one round ))

Darius:
"Smart, aren't you? Next time, don't take as long."

Dookie:
"Gwooorugh..." Dookie holds whats left of its head, stumbling back and forth. You can still feel feral intent in its eyes.

Darius:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 6 + 0 = 6 Control (1d8): 8 + 2 = 10

Dookie:
 Initiative (1d6): 5 + 0 = 5 Control (1d6): 1 + 0 = 1
Darius: (( right, super energy ))
Dookie: (( that's one round, and 2 hits, for about 3 should be ))
Darius: (( I've got 4 I think ))
Darius: (( Combos themselves count as one ))
Darius: (( In addition to the Specials within them ))
Dookie: (( hmm ))
Darius: (( The moves themselves build SE even if they miss, but the Combo only gives 1 if you hit ))

Warra:
"(Gaaah. Piece of shit lag time! Move, you useless sack of bones! Move!)"
Darius: (( You can combo INTO a throw, right ))
Warra: (( into a throw, sure ))
Darius: (( Just(usually) not out of it ))
Warra: (( more or less, yeah, unless you have a pursuit move or something ))
Darius: (( Or it's a Hurl move and you combo into a Ranged attack ))
Darius: (( Sadly you can't renew Suppression ))

Darius:
"Help me a little, Credo." Darius plucks out a nigh-incorporeal gear from his pack, and flings it at the monster, while Credo forms his own starlike versions around the beast, and the asteroid belt of mechanical pain slams into the beast in concert with itself. Darius throws a little extra power into the mix, dealing a bit more damage, and Credo sacrifices a portion of his spirit for intensity.

Darius:
Darius uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

Darius:
« 1d6+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 » Just how much Control does this cost... 4 total from the Moves themselves, +2 from Power Up: Control, +1 from Power Up: Life Bar, so yeah I've got more than enough

Darius:
well

Dookie:
What a horrible fudge up, if only I could actually defend that

Darius:
Darius loses 3 hit points.
Darius: (( Your defenses aren't disabled ))
Darius: (( Remember, it's movement, special attacks, and supers with this ))
Darius: (( Unless you're on full offense or something ))
Dookie: (( >Defense Skill and Tactics Skill are also suppressed. ))
Dookie: (( what does that mean then ))
Darius: (( I know, but I just went into explaining that before ))
Darius: (( I spent 6 total MP on it, so I thought I'd gotte nall that ))

Darius:
Elements*
Darius: (( but what I'd done is spend 3 elements to get Special and Super suppression, then ignored the rest and spent 3 extra to get Movement suppression ))
Darius: (( as there's this thing down there ))
Darius: (( The suppression of movement can be added to a Suppression move that suppresses Special Moves for an additional three Elements (though it only costs one Element on its own). ))
Dookie: (( oh apparently I didn't see that part ))
Darius: (( That was why the Move was labeled Special/Super/Movement suppression, I wasn't retarded THEN, I just was now ))
Dookie: (( Technically that does still meet my defenses, but I didn't get to spend any FS ))
Darius: (( well, we can both reroll if you want ))
Dookie: (( Sure let's do that ))
Darius: (( or, I mean, you can spend FS and I can reroll ))

Dookie:
Dookie uses 2 Fighting Spirit!
Darius: (( I spent 2 myself yeah ))

Darius:
« 1d6+2 = 6 + 2 = 8 »
Darius: (( you shouldn't have bothered (waiting) ))
Dookie: (( well good thing I didn't go for 3 ))
Dookie: (( Also I have no music because I figured this moment should have Darius' or whatever that thing is theme playing in the background ))
Dookie: (( I just have no idea what it is ))

Darius:
« 1d6+2+(1d6+3/2) = 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 / 2 = 5.5 »

Darius:
damage
Darius: (( you son of a bitch maptool ))

Dookie:
Dookie loses 5 hit points.
Darius: (( It'd be, uh ))
Darius: (( this I gues ))
Darius: (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFFEB-eIy8I ))
Timer falls from 94 to 93!
Dookie: (( nuuu dont lag on me already faptool ))

Darius:
"Well? We work better together than we give ourselves credit for." Darius stares down the knocked-away monster, not seeing any need to run just yet.

Dookie:
Dookie gets back up from lying on the ground, and rips that invisible gear from his head. Snake-like appendages wrap around the beast and suck up his organs back into the correct place.

Warra:
"(Fuckin' FINALLY you move! Now do what you were meant to, pieceashit!)"

BU2B:
"If you couldn't work with yourself, you would be a lost cause. Why did you make such a monster?"

Dookie:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 1 + 0 = 1 1 FS used! Control (1d8): 4 + 0 = 4

Darius:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 6 + 0 = 6 Control (1d8): 3 + 2 = 5

Dookie:
Dookie uses 3 Fighting Spirit!

Dookie:
Dookie gets serious this time, and has its main wrapping snake protect it from all sides as it rushes forward like a mad ape.
Darius: (( that was 4 more SE I think ))
Dookie: (( it was ))

Darius:
"I thought it necessary at the time. Now, looking at how horrible it is, I begin to reconsider my past decisions... There's so much wrong that could be fixed. What was I thinking? Well, your time's almost up, Credo. One last time, so it can't interfere."
Darius: (( For the record, can you move both yourself and your Replicant in the same turn? Either normally, or by spending FS? ))
Dookie: (( Uh, you always could ))
BU2B: (( Never seen it done ))
Dookie: (( By DEFAULT they move along with you ))
BU2B: (( Mostly cause I've been Al all the time ))
BU2B: (( and the only one I fought with a Replicant that moved was Halford, who WAS his Replicant ))
Dookie: (( well that's how they work ))

BU2B:
So, yeah, - Darius and Credo retreat in sync with each other, and Credo whips away the monster's oxygen once more, to disable it one last time.

BU2B:
how

BU2B:
we were on the same plane

BU2B:
There

Darius:
Darius uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

BU2B:
« 1d6+2 = 2 + 2 = 4 »

BU2B:
dam
BU2B: (( Guess I still get 2 Super Energy, so not much was lost ))

Dookie:
Dookie pulls itself together, its snake appendages from within preventing you from pulling that same BS twice.

Dookie:
In a rush, Dookie lifts up that box full of sciencey materials and tosses them at you in a rage
Darius: (( n-no not my pigtunias i water those every day ))

Dookie:
Dookie uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

Darius:
Darius uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

Dookie:
« 1d6+2 = 5 + 2 = 7 » "GROOOOARRH!"

Pigtunia:
nuuu

Darius:
nigs
Darius: (( That definitely hits, I only even HAVE Evasion ))
Darius: (( and it's base 3 ))

Dookie:
« 1d6 = 6 » BOOOMF! The steel box shatters over your head!

Darius:
Darius loses 6 hit points.
Darius: (( Th-that doesn't have Increased Stund does it (sad) ))
Darius: (( -d ))
Dookie: (( I forget, can you attack and move forward afterwards ))
Dookie: (( sadly no, it does not, but it does Harry ))
Darius: (( And uh, I have no idea if you can attack then move forward ))
Darius: (( but didn't you move forward before attacking just then ))
Darius: (( Or was I imagining things ))
Dookie: (( I did, I plan on spending 1 FS for it ))
Darius: (( Oh, that was a basic or something? ))
Dookie: (( no, ki-related special ))
Darius: (( well or a Mobile move I guess ))
Dookie: (( ooooh yes ))
Darius: (( As you can only move 2 spaces and attack with a Basic move or a Mobile move ))
Dookie: (( so no, I cannot move forward ))
Timer falls from 93 to 89!

Darius:
Darius recoils from the GIANT CRATE hitting him, and buries his head in his hands, "Damn! Finally managed to hit me! All right, one last try!"

Darius:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 2 + 0 = 2 1 FS used! Control (1d10): 3 + 2 = 5
Darius: (( well ))

Warra:
"(Solid hit confirmed! It's all over now!)"
Darius: (( shit ))

Dookie:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 7 + 0 = 7 1 FS used! Control (1d8): 8 + 0 = 8

Dookie:
ooo u dun it nao

BU2B:
"You always did love to state the obvious. This is hopeless."

Darius:
Darius concentrates and regains 1 Fighting Spirit.

Darius:
rite theme song, and actually MAKING SENSE this time

Dookie:
Getting completely fed up with your shit, Dookie brings down one of his hands for a mighty karate chop!

Darius:
Oh, right - Full Defense

Darius:
Which is only +1...

Darius:
Darius uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

Darius:
So, uh, 6 total

Darius:
and Evasion

Dookie:
Dookie uses 2 Fighting Spirit!
Darius: (( And I'll go for the +2 Accuracy onm y next hit, not the movement, for the record ))

Dookie:
« 1d6+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 » "GWOOOOAAAUGH!" The monster's chop is so powerful, the floor tiles rise up and split apart!

Dookie:
*Cries and throws away that combo*

Darius:
Darius bounds out of the way of the rubble, and positions himself to the side of the monster - out of Credo's way. "It's about time to say goodbye. You're an abomination, certainly, but let me show you the true terror of this lab..." No not you Turner
Darius: (( turn's over tho ))
Timer falls from 89 to 86!

Darius:
 3 FS used! Initiative (1d12): 3 + 0 = 3 Control (1d8): 3 + 2 = 5
Darius: (( ur pullin me daisies maptul ))

Dookie:
Dookie stares at you dead in the eye, breathing its rancid breath as it raises its open palm

Dookie:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 1 + 0 = 1 Control (1d6): 2 + 0 = 2

Warra:
"(Move, you abomination, MOVE! Grr, I blame the RNG for this....)"

Darius:
"...not enough power to paralyze the thing. Whatever, plan B. Sorry it's been so long, Credo, maybe you'll be out again soon." Darius backs away from his adversary, and concentrates, summoning up that glittering aurum city once more, over Credo.
Tokens dropped onto map 'Darius' Lab' by player Thrice (Player)

Darius:
"Wish I could be further away from this..." Darius braces his body for...something, as the city whirs and spins, once again deconstructing the "Replicant" and reforming it, and once it's done - it's shattered open from the inside! A new Replicant sits in Credo's place, one that radiates hatred and decay, and erodes the very world around it. "Say hello, Anarchist."

Dookie:
Dookie winces from the light yet again, getting caught somewhat off-guard.
Tokens dropped onto map 'Darius' Lab' by player Thrice (Player)
TWILT has connected.

Warra:
"(And AGAIN the game is listing another character! How many counter-picks can this guy bring out before the TO calls shenanigans?)"

The Anarchist:
The Anarchist doesn't say a damned thing, her detached, blackened and clawed arms pointed toward Dookie without a sound...yet.

The Anarchist:
And now the question resurges, can The Anarchist move
Dookie: (( Assuming that counts as its own move, and it has the mobile element, then yes ))

The Anarchist:
I was more asking cause Darius moved, but Credo didn't as he was sort of absorbed back into SC
Dookie: (( Oh well then, sure ))

The Anarchist:
Good because that woulda sucked
Dookie: (( as that counts for the replicants, you can say, "move action" of sorts ))

The Anarchist:
As is it's still gonna suck a little - she has a Temporary Technique on all her Moves(well, two, but only one is unique)

The Anarchist:
At the end of the turn it causes one damage to anything in her square or adjacent to it, which doesn't include herself...

The Anarchist:
but does include Darius

The Anarchist:
and her Range is a whole D

Dookie:
Either way you still got 2 Control left over for something
The Anarchist: (( That was my uh, Super ))
The Anarchist: (( It IS Easy to Combo ))
The Anarchist: (( but I'd have had to actually combo it ))
The Anarchist: (( Sorta forgot to ))
Dookie: (( oh wait, so Anarchist has her own little thing there, didn't catch that ))
The Anarchist: (( I could, technically, still have her attack with Anthem ))
The Anarchist: (( or Darius with one of his moves ))

Dookie:
Still shaking from the light filling its senses, Dookie retaliates in self-defense by spitting out one of its snakes from within its body, sending it dart towards Aramis
The Anarchist: (( technically the theme would change to this ))

The Anarchist:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on3lLcAz4YU

Darius:
>Aramis
Dookie: (( Yoooo ))

Darius:
I should rape you sideways for that
Dookie: (( yooooooo ))
Dookie: (( Move so powerful it transcends games ))
Dookie: (( but no, Darius ))

Dookie:
*That is a ranged attack, so you can defend against it if you must*

The Anarchist:
Damn you and your not attacking me (sad)

Darius:
sure

Darius:
Darius uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

Darius:
Evasion, of course

Darius:
what else

Dookie:
Dookie uses 1 Fighting Spirit!

Dookie:
« 1d6+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 »

Darius:
fug

Dookie:
« 1d6 = 5 »

Darius:
Darius loses 5 hit points.
Dookie: (( wait no ))
Darius: (( Was expecting a Gradual Effect poison thing ))
Dookie: (( that damage should be 2, because gradual effect ))
Darius: (( to be honest ))

Darius:
Darius is healed and gains 3 hit points.

Darius:
"Gah! Get off of me! Why don't you go chase apples, you little... Whatever! Anarchist, do what you do best. Just...try to keep my lab intact."

Viper:
When Dookie uses his VIPER BREATH, the viper wraps around the opponent and continues biting them! They can be knocked off early in exchange for a basic attack.
Darius: (( At least I think the things in snake were apples (HMM) ))
Timer falls from 86 to 82!

Dookie:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 3 + 0 = 3 Control (1d6): 2 + 0 = 2

Darius:
Darius loses 1 hit points.

Darius:
remember your 1 damage

Dookie:
Dookie loses 1 hit points.

Darius:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 7 + 0 = 7 Control (1d8): 4 + 2 = 6
Darius: (( costs 1 FS to send it 2 spaces ahead, right? ))
Dookie: (( yep ))
Darius: (( Can't go beyond that, I assume ))
Darius: (( Okay good, Knockback Advance isn't forced ))
Darius: (( that mighta been bad ))
tirkaroKujo:
Move 1 Range and attack Move 1 Range and receive defense bonus instead of attacking Move 2 Ranges Move 2 Ranges and attack with Basic Move or some Special Moves for 1 FS Move 3 Ranges for 1 FS After Knocking Down opponent: Move 1 Range Power Up: No movement Refocus and Await Opening: Move 1 Range Movement after Hit Stun costs 1 extra FS
Darius: (( Oh, I meant ))
tirkaroKujo:
oh wait forget it that's way less legible when unspaced
Darius: (( As in, her Range is 2 ))
Darius: (( ...Her Range is D* ))
tirkaroKujo:
Oh well then yeah
Darius: (( So it costs me FS to send her more than 1 space ahead of me ))
tirkaroKujo:
she cannot move past 2, given you spend 1 FS

Dookie:
Dookie uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

The Anarchist:
The Anarchist moves forward, costing Darius some concentration, and then...

Darius:
Darius uses 1 Fighting Spirit!

Dookie:
Dookie's wrapping worm stays alert, scanning the new opponent defensively...

Darius:
>only 4 FS left

Darius:
god damn

The Anarchist:
Her ghostly arms rend through the creature, tearing it apart from the inside out! Despite how devasting being ripped to shreds by a soul is, there's no pain at all... This knocks it to the floor, but the monster(this one, not that one) doesn't let it! A crimson fog leaks from her very being - a poison of her own, that targets the mind as well as the body.

The Anarchist:
That was Anthem followed by Scarlet Mist if you need to look at them

Darius:
and I guess I'll sacrifice a basic move to kick this fuckhead off, that's still only 5 Control

Darius:
Darius uses 3 Fighting Spirit!

Darius:
I'd better fucking hit

The Anarchist:
« 1d6+4 = 6 + 4 = 10 »

Dookie:
i dunno maybe

The Anarchist:
« 1d12+3 = 7 + 3 = 10 » for the first and..the second is going to be difficult.

The Anarchist:
It's Gradual Effect, AND the second move in a combo
Dookie: (( so just what gradual effect normally does, but half that ))
Dookie: (( easy ))

Dookie:
Dookie loses 10 hit points.

The Anarchist:
I'm not sure if the damage is halved before being divided by three, or after

The Anarchist:
after I guess

The Anarchist:
« ((1d12+2)/3+1)/2 = ((5 + 2) / 3 + 1) / 2 = 1.666666666666666666666666666666666 »

The Anarchist:
m

The Anarchist:
so enjoy your 1 damage
Dookie: (( Let's just say 1 then ))

The Anarchist:
but also you're Entangled

Dookie:
Dookie loses 1 hit points.

The Anarchist:
but you're probably stunned anyhow

The Anarchist:
and then, to cap it off

The Anarchist:
you lose another 1 HP

The Anarchist:
I'd really hope 12 damage stuns you

The Anarchist:
You've not even BEEN stunned the whole fight yet

Dookie:
Dookie loses 1 hit points.

Darius:
Thankfully I'm barely out of range over here

Viper:
take yo 2 damage foo

Darius:
do I need to spend 1 FS each turn to keep her that far?

Darius:
I kicked you off

Viper:
ow

Darius:
Also uh, knockback, that does still exist

Darius:
It's also a knock down move

Darius:
So...you're stunned, entangled, and knocked down

Darius:
because that's not redundant at all
Viper: (( nah, you don't need to spend 1 FS to keep her that far, but you can't move away past that ))
Timer falls from 82 to 78!

Dookie:
"Groowwr..." Dookie gets tied up in its many snake appendages

Darius:
"Hah...good. I can always count on you. You're the most like me, after all."

Dookie:
 Initiative (1d6): 1 + 0 = 1 Control (1d6): 4 + 0 = 4

Darius:
Darius concentrates and regains 1 Fighting Spirit.

Darius:
 Initiative (1d6): 3 + 0 = 3 Control (1d8): 5 + 2 = 7

Warra:
"(C'mon, this experiment is a load of bulltwinkies!)"
Darius: (( BTW, for future reference, if you didn't catch it before ))
Darius: (( Anthem is a Juggle move ))
Darius: (( So you can Air Escape it to avoid the +2 ))

Darius:
"Sorry I can't properly thank you for the help." Darius, not wanting to get near The Watchmaker while it's fighting, tosses forth a gear from his pack, as Anthem rips into the beast with its screaming, gastly arms - the only time it ever makes any noise.

Darius:
« 1d6 = 3 » At least Control cancels out the penalty

Dookie:
uuuh is that a pursuit move
Darius: (( for the record I'm starting the combo with Pitch Helix, not Anthem ))
Darius: (( Oh, right, it's not. ))
Darius: (( Scarlet Mist is ))
Darius: (( but...it'd take a -2 penalty to Accuracy ))
Darius: (( as she used that last turn ))

Dookie:
she sure did
Darius: (( And so, she'd be using it twice in a row and Move Reading would take effect ))
Darius: (( I guess it'd still hit though ))

Dookie:
but is it really worth conserving acc considering 'm kinda like stunned
The Anarchist: (( Especially since it'd have another +1 from being at range 0 ))
The Anarchist: (( and not being in a combo/ ))

The Anarchist:
« (1d12+2)/3+1 = (8 + 2) / 3 + 1 = 4.333333333333333333333333333333333 » The mist once more seeps from The Anarchist's body, poisoning its enemy's mind with rage, confusion, and distress, even though her foe must be slowly building up an immunity to it...
The Anarchist: (( Pretty sure that replaces the old Gradual Effect ))
The Anarchist: (( Or..no, guess it stacks ))
Dookie: (( oh, so you're using that roll, well I guess it still works ))

Dookie:
Dookie loses 5 hit points.
The Anarchist: (( I'll reroll if you want ))

The Anarchist:
but I don't think I CAN miss, if I do
Dookie: (( it is indeed really hard to miss, so it's not worth it ))

Dookie:
"GWOOAUGH" The unfinished experiment begins writing in pain, its body parts slowly slipping and falling apart
The Anarchist: (( Her attacks don't actually CAUSE pain ))
The Anarchist: (( But I suppose that could be a subset of just dying normally ))

Dookie:
but dat rage, confusion, and distress
The Anarchist: (( It literally poisons their mind, that's what the Entangle is supposed to represent ))
The Anarchist: (( being unable to act due to losing control of their mind ))

Dookie:
eiiither waaaay, are you gonna use that other move
The Anarchist: (( that, and the poison wracking their body, too ))
The Anarchist: (( It's uh, not a Pursuit move ))
The Anarchist: (( so no ))
Timer falls from 78 to 72!

The Anarchist:
take your extra 1 damage

Dookie:
But in a final move of desperation, the beast gets back up, its eyes swole with rage.

Dookie:
Dookie loses 1 hit points.

The Anarchist:
Hopefully I'm annoying you enough by now to attack me

The Anarchist:
at least I have slight DR

Dookie:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 5 + 0 = 5 1 FS used! Control (1d8): 6 + 0 = 6

Dookie:
you damn right I mad

Darius:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 4 + 0 = 4 Control (1d8): 6 + 2 = 8

Darius:
sad

Dookie:
Dookies mutitude of snakes fire up and its pulsating eyes turn blood red, and it immediately assaults the wicked anarchist in front of it with a splitting forward punch.

Dookie:
Dookie uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

The Anarchist:
Yeah I got nothin

Dookie:
« 1d6+2+1 = 5 + 2 + 1 = 8 » "GOOOARRUGH!" It sends a gigantic punch going forth like a freight train!

The Anarchist:
That is one accurate train

Dookie:
« 1d8 = 8 » knocks down

The Anarchist:
speaking of which, since I have Super Armor

The Anarchist:
you get a +1 Accuracy when attacking me, as all I can use is Evasion

Darius:
Darius loses 7 hit points.

Dookie:
And then Dookie follows up by lifting the anarchist off the ground, and punching its stomach in twice!

Dookie:
« 1d8 = 5 » half this
Darius: (( So uh, 1? ))
Darius: (( I'm not sure if the damage is lowered before or after that's halfed ))
Darius: (( v* ))
Dookie: (( after, assumedly ))

Darius:
Darius loses 1 hit points.
Darius: (( well you just barely stunned me you son of a bitch ))
Darius: (( Though I would have been stunned AFTER this round, anyway, due to taking 1 more damage from the Anarchist ))
Timer falls from 72 to 69!

Darius:
Darius concentrates and regains 1 Fighting Spirit.

Darius:
"Geh...even the strongest, taken down. So it's...just me..."

Dookie:
As the steaming body of the anarchist dissipates, Dookie moves forth and delivers another dealing of pain onto Darius' head

Darius:
 Initiative (1d6): 6 + 0 = 6 Control (1d8): 4 + 2 = 6

Dookie:
 Initiative (1d6): 6 + 0 = 6 Control (1d6): 3 + 0 = 3

Darius:
sadly i b stunt

Dookie:
Dookie's head steams up, and it delivers another powerful punch! « 1d6-2 = 3 - 2 = 1 » pls don't negative on me

Darius:
almost, buddy

Darius:
if you'd missed me, when I'm using half of my whole 0 Defense

Darius:
you may as well have just given up
TWILT: (( if it was negative, does that mean you hit yourself ))

Dookie:
« 1d8 = 2 » supposedly

Darius:
Darius loses 2 hit points.
Timer falls from 69 to 67!

Darius:
ow dat increased knockback

Dookie:
Dookie stomps forward, crushing the floor tiles in its way, steaming with rage and anguish.

Darius:
"..." Darius drags himself up off the ground, no longer immobile, but still a bit dazed.

Warra:
"(Now THAT's what I'm talking about! Crush his face in!)"

Darius:
 Initiative (1d4): 4 + 0 = 4 Control (1d8): 2 + 2 = 4
Darius: (( Pretty sure it's a -1 DS if you're knocked out of stun ))

Dookie:
The camera positions itself below dookie as he opens his arms, giving out the loudest yell it can

Dookie:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 4 + 0 = 4 Control (1d6): 2 + 0 = 2

Dookie:
yes I am moving up here
Darius: (( we uh, tied init ))

Darius:
I'm just using a ranged attack

Darius:
"Fine. I don't need any god to help me here." Darius once more throws his gear, hoping it knocks the best out - he might be decent at close range, but he sure doesn't like his chances against this thing...
Darius: (( But I'm pretty sure they happen simultaneously, no matter who declares first ))

Darius:
I'll spend 1 FS to increase my accuracy, and use Pitch Helix since it's my only Ranged attack

Dookie:
Dookie moves the hell up and intends to do a basic combo
Darius: (( Oh wait, it seems ranged attacks do happen first, sort of ))
Darius: (( If Riff declared that he was using his Ranged attack, Fiery Sun, that attack would be resolved befor e Jason jumped forward, as attacks are resolved before movement. If Jason were struck, he would suffer Hit Stun and may not be able to move at all (see Hit Stun). If the Ranged attack missed, Jason would jump in 2 Ranges and attack. ))

Darius:
Darius uses 1 Fighting Spirit!

Darius:
« 1d6+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »

Darius:
m

Darius:
carry on (fedup)

Dookie:
Dookie shoves that attack aside and punches you in the gut!

Dookie:
Dookie uses 1 Fighting Spirit!

Darius:
Yeah well I hope you miss

Dookie:
« 1d6+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 » "GWOOOORUGH!"

Darius:
"...not good. Maybe I shouldn't scorn the go--" And with that, Darius is in fact punched the fuck aside.

Dookie:
« 1d4+1+1 = 4 + 1 + 1 = 6 » A three hit combo!
Darius: (( not that it really matters, but would you have a +1? REmember you take a -1 for every three moves in the combo ))

Darius:
Darius loses 6 hit points.
Dookie: (( sort of ))
Dookie: (( assuming I did the math right, the combo has -2 control for being all basic ))
Darius: (( ah ))

Dookie:
meaning it still has 1 control left over
Darius: (( Just uh, gonna dig my own grave here, but you're saying you DON'T have 1 Strength? ))
Darius: (( CAuse if you do, Darius has 0 Stamina ))

Dookie:
riiiiight

Dookie:
« 1d6 = 5 » reroll that first one then

Darius:
Darius loses 1 hit points.

Dookie:
that's 7 damage welcome to USA nigga
Timer falls from 67 to 65!

Dookie:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 1 + 0 = 1 1 FS used! Control (1d8): 4 + 0 = 4

Darius:
"Urgh...okay, calm...Calm. Just need Credo or The Anarchist..."

Dookie:
Dookie beats its chest and stomps forward

Darius:
 Initiative (1d6): 3 + 0 = 3 Control (1d8): 1 + 2 = 3

Warra:
"(Lol! I'm having you for lunch, nerd!)"
Darius: (( sadly it has not been a ten-count yet. ))

Darius:
"...damn it. Fine! Hopefully this hits..." Darius doesn't move, and simply tosses another gear, this one with a likely -2 to hit for him trying the same move last time.

Darius:
« 1d6-1 = 6 - 1 = 5 »

Dookie:
Dookie is unfazed and doesn't bother defending such a pathet- fuuu

Darius:
« 1d6 = 6 » I'd say sucks to be you, but it's Non-Finisher.

Dookie:
Dookie uses 3 Fighting Spirit!

Darius:
I literally have to have my Replicant to win

Dookie:
Dookie concentrates and regains 3 Fighting Spirit.

Dookie:
Dookie loses 3 hit points.
Dookie: (( not even just basic attacking? ))
Darius: (( Right, I can do that I guess ))
Darius: (( but otherwise, both my actual attacks are non-finishers ))

Dookie:
"Gwrooogguh...." Dookie gets stunned by the blunt object against his brain
Timer falls from 65 to 61!
Darius: (( thx ))

Dookie:
 Initiative (1d6): 5 + 0 = 5 Control (1d6): 5 + 0 = 5

Darius:
 Initiative (1d6): 4 + 0 = 4 Control (1d8): 8 + 2 = 10

Darius:
daaaaaaaaamn
Darius: (( Just don't stun me ))

Dookie:
Dookie spits out another snake!
Darius: (( oh wait, I went first ))
Darius: (( and attacked last turn ))
Darius: (( so my init is 5 ))

Dookie:
oh nooo

Dookie:
*Well I still am spitting out that snake*

Darius:
Iii need to place one of my Replicants

Darius:
their moves aren't on Darius' token
Tokens dropped onto map 'Darius' Lab' by player Thrice (Player)
Darius: (( I MOST LIKELY have enough Super Energy to bring out Anarchist but I don't feel like checking ))

Darius:
Darius sacrifices his Move action to summon Credo, and plans to have him finish off the beast with Clockwork Universe.

Dookie:
Dammit man, I had that Super Energy thing on the properties for a reason

Darius:
Which is his only move that freakin deals damage
Darius: (( I didn't even know it was there ))

Darius:
So I guess you go first

Dookie:
« 1d6 = 1 » You bet your ass I'm still spittin' snakes

Dookie:
carry on

Darius:
*this IS a Charge Back move, but I technically didn't win Init, so I don't think it matters*

Darius:
*as in, summoning him in particular is*
Warra: (( so I take it that's your turn, oooorrr ))

BU2B:
"That atrocity was defeated? If only you weren't so useless. I'd have liked to watch. Regardless, watch what one can do with a mind clear of depression and hatred." Credo summons up his galaxy of gears once more, the sharpened points digging into the flesh of the Wicked Worm Beast, hopefully finally finishing the damned thing.

BU2B:
« 1d6+1 = 4 + 1 = 5 » Hopefully.

BU2B:
« 1d6 = 5 » Hopefully.

Dookie:
"GWOROOUGUGGH....." The gears bash and crash into dookie from every direction, exploding its brain and sending it's shambling body to stumble back

Dookie:
and stumble back...

Dookie:
Until it finally collapses on its own weight, the beast finally put out of its misery

Dookie:
Dookie loses 5 hit points.

Darius:
"Useless...hmph. You try supporting more than one. Now where's it going? It's a wonder it can move at all."

Warra:
Warra bangs on the arcade board in rage. "(Grrr...no matter.)" She flicks another stick of pocky from her pocket and chews on it with her mouth. ("Just gotta buy a bit more time to get what I want...in the meantime, let's have some fun...")

BU2B:
"Yet again do you rely on us. You will never learn to depend on yourself. Now, I fear that girl has passed on again. Was that your wish, Darius?"

Darius:
"And you wonder why it's usually Divina. Come, we need to...Damn it, we need to do a lot of things. Marian first."
Warra: (( Getting closer to room "m" you can hear the sounds of repeated hits and banging ))

Darius:
In case it wasn't clear, yeah, we're heading for Room mips

Darius:
which is like right there
Warra: (( it seems some action is going on back there ))
Darius: (( and I'm fully healed, I guess? ))
Warra: (( yep ))

Darius:
Healed up!

Darius:
"Right, let's get thi--why'm I in the wall what happen
Warra: (( the door is still locked, so it seems this is a job for the cuttin' knife again ))

Darius:
"Let's get this door open. Sounds like someone is fighting. Seems Anarchist's presence didn't weaken the lab much..." Darius draws the knife, and extends it, attempting to sever the lock.
Warra: (( the lock itself is easily cut open; soon once you do that, the door goes FLYING off, a deranged mushroom-looking experiment set flat against it ))
Darius: (( I was expecting Mushroom Spark to be honest ))

Darius:
Darius leaps back when the door flies off its hinges, distraught by, you know, almost losing his face. "What in the world...well, at least that can't bother us." He peers into the adjoining room, no longer obstructed by any door, at least...

Marian:
In the center of the room is Marian standing over a fresh batch of knocked-the-hell out experiments, feeling pretty relieved by all this action. "Oh, there you are Darius! Is this one of those future training programs or something? If it is, keep it up, I'm having a total blast!"

BU2B:
"Such little regard for that which you gave life." Credo expresses his distaste for Darius' actions, then addresses Marian as he enters the room himself, "Not quite. We are attacked, doomed, most likely..."
tirkaroKujo:
From off in the corner of the room, there's another computer showing lines upon lines of text commands

Darius:
"It's nothing that serious. Quiet, Credo. You were trapped in here, then? Hm...you're quite strong, for sure."
tirkaroKujo:
Once you enter the door, the Max Headroom-esque face of the hacker calls out to you.

Arcade Fire:
"I AM ARCADE FIRE. YOU'VE PROVEN TO BE A THORN IN MY SIDE. THIS ALL ENDS SOON."
Darius: (( it's literally made of artifacts ))
Darius: (( truly, my worst enemy ))
Marian: (( it's 1999, give it a break ))

Marian:
"Oooh, yes, this is the weirdo who's been blabbing its mouth over and over again. Makes for some rather dull background music..."

Darius:
"Fire? So you're useless against Credo, thanks for the info." Darius works the kinks out of his back from the wicked worm beast, and sighs at the machine, "Bluntly, if you're not Pato, I don't care who you are. Now, if you ever want to use a computer again, get out of my lab."

BU2B:
"Perhaps it is a special fire. Some fires can burn without oxygen." Credo doesn't look optimistic, as usual.

Arcade Fire:
AF's pixellated image plays a 2-frame animation of a smug laugh. "You know Pato, then? I figured you two would have some history. I came here to relieve you of some personal data...."
TWILT is disconnected.

Arcade Fire:
"But since most of your laboratory seems to be made of utterly incompetent freaks, I'll strike you a deal; I'll pack my bags and leave if you agree to a challenge of mine."

Darius:
"Personal data? Unfortunately for you, most of it's in my head. Can you hack that? I don't think I have much reason to agree to anything you want. I can force you out of here, if I really must. But it would give me so much extra work.."

Arcade Fire:
"Meet me at the Fair Treaty Arcade over in Holy Loly Square where I shall challenge you to an honorable showdown. If I win, you will hand over the artifact. If I lose, I'll promise to never make a mess out of your lab again, AND I'll give you access to one of Pato's personal secrets...no, not in that way, you gutter trash."

Arcade Fire:
"I've already scanned for one piece of data, which has made this venture in particular worth well enough...But I promise I won't share it with Pato if you can find some way to best me tomorrow..."

Warra:
Warra chews on a stick of pocky. "(Pfft, as if.)"

Darius:
"Hahahaha! Honorable?! Which is it? Are you a liar? Or just pathetic as an information broker? Whatever... If you managed to find something out about me, Pato has known it for ages. Especially if it has anything to do with my 'Replicant.' As repulsive as she is, she's much more worthy to be my foe than you are. But still Marian is worth more to me than whatever you could tell me about her."

BU2B:
"There is no trust or honor in this world. You will have to prove yourself beyond a doubt if you want me to take anything you say seriously."

Arcade Fire:
"So that's what you think, is it?"Arcade Fire chuckles to himself. "Do you not know the reason why it was my mission to hack into this mainframe in particular? It's not because of you by any means...no, it's because of that zombie right there. Or rather her replicant...As hyperactive as she may be, I've successfully stalled for enough time to break down the coding within her replicant, which would prove most valuable to Pato's research..."
MarthTrinity has connected.

Arcade Fire:
"But stalling for time is unfun, wouldn't you agree? Let's have a real showdown. It's something hard-coded into my blood."

Darius:
"Pato's so pathetic, she can't do it herself? But then, I know how we work. I'm a broker myself. There's no reason for you not to sell Pato what she wants, just because of some irrelevant promise to me. No, I'd have to kill you, given you even showed up, and that would leave a bad taste in my mouth."

Arcade Fire:
Arcade Fire gives its hearty 8-bit laugh again. "Then may your mouth taste of rancid cranberries for many an eon."

BU2B:
"Deceit will not aid you, 'Arcade Fire'. I do not trust, and I am not so naive as Divina."

BU2B:
"Were you here in person, you may have lost already."

Marian:
Marian shadowboxes the air. "All these new faces are poppin' up left and right. It's insane!"

Thriller:
"Now what the heck do you mean -I- was decoded? Am I really that inconsequential as to be broken down into ZEROES and ONES? I demand some more respect around here!"

Darius:
"As much as I may want you to, don't hit Credo. He's as useful as he is intolerable. Also, that would hurt me."

Arcade Fire:
"If you fail to show up, you can expect further chaos to break out in the future. Pato would be more than happy to assist in your total ownage."

BU2B:
"What he means is that his precious Divina is useless in this situation. The Anarchist would destroy us all. And so his hand is forced to play me. If Pato can replicate a soul, we may be in trouble. Lack of any precedent leads me to believe she cannot yet."

Darius:
"Quiet! I'm the smart one, not you. Fine, you. I'll make you an offer. I will outbid Pato for whatever information you've managed to scrape out of that Replicant."

Darius:
"Think about it - I work for the richest person in the city, and she for a crime boss who dresses her goons in rags."

Darius:
"Whatever you've found out, Stouffer is able to pay much more handsomely for it than Penguin.

Darius:
"

BU2B:
"You would pay for information you could have uncovered anyway? This city is as doomed as the rest of the world, if you are its smartest."

Arcade Fire:
"Outbid you say? As in, give me money? To think, it has finally come to this...fine! Show up with the money, and I'll think about your handsome offer...well, depending on just how 'handsome' it is."

Darius:
"I'm afraid that's not how bidding works, tyro. I need to know how much she is paying, in order to offer more."

Arcade Fire:
"To be honest, I am not sure. It depended on how valuable said uncovered information was...but it did start at 10k. I will accept no less than that."

Marian:
"Woah, ten thousand? That must be, like, a whole ten dollars in today's currency!"
TWILT has connected.

Darius:
"No doubt this will come out of my budget, but, I can handle that. Now, begone from here. I have...something else to be done."

Arcade Fire:
Arcade Fire crosses its arm and bows. "Remember to keep my promise by tomorrow, or EEELLLLSEEE..."

Darius:
"You'll have to keep your own promise. I'll keep what I made of mine..."

Warra:
Warra leans on the arcade machine. "Guuuh, hopefully I can buy that golden Nintendo World Championships cartridge with that money."

Arcade Fire:
"I look forward to our meeting. Now I shall let you be...for now. -Arcade Fire has signed out."
tirkaroKujo:
The lights in the lab go back to normal, and everything operates as it should once again.

Darius:
"I thought they'd never leave. Credo? You've got to help me get these creatures back to safety. I can't disable them myself."

Darius:
"I've got no tranquilizers with me."

Marian:
"That guy sounded like a real buster. You sure you can trust 'im with monetary deals? They just might take it and run."

BU2B:
"Herd them back to their prisons, you mean? Fine. And we cannot trust this person. So...we should prove that to another."

Thriller:
Thriller slithers on top of Marian's head. "I still feel so -degraded.- I can raise the DEAD for cryin' out loud! I'm not gonna let someone steal my shtick so easily!"

Darius:
"Call it what you want, Credo. Yes, I still see no reason why they wouldn't sell it to Pato as well. But if I have this information...she won't want it. She'll think it tainted. And after all, all the bidding parties should be present for an auction. But we must make sure she arrives late, after this challenge..."

Darius:
"No sense in doubling my adversaries unnecessarily, after all."

Marian:
Marian grabs the monkey by its back. "Whateva. So, where do all these lovely pets go? Don't think I cracked their skulls too hard..."

BU2B:
"At least you are not hidden, serpent of bone. Follow me. They belong below."

Darius:
"Hurry. We've still got more business to attend to."

Thriller:
And so you do all that then, but this day ain't over yet. Oh it never was over. But this session is.

Darius:
And so, the three herd the little miscreants back down to the basement, to their cages, hopefully without too many problems that can't be solved by killing their oxygen
Darius: (( and I assume you've adjusted the grid a few times ))
Darius: (( Rosa's teleported around the bed a lot this session ))

Thriller:
i did indeed
