Renee:

Tokens dropped onto map 'Museum' by player Ci Tsukino (Player)
Cyprien: (( Wait, were you coming with me? ))
Thrice:
I don't think so, I'm p sure she's just here bc this is the Mapp

Cyprien:
ahhhh
Thrice:
I just consolidated both maps into one thing
Thrice:
So I didn't need to tab around
Thrice:
Also why do you have 15 Endurance still agi
Thrice:
You should've healed a total of 30 Endurance
Renee: (( bc I drained mine for that mission? ))
Renee: (( I drained a shit ton, not realizing how the system worked ))
Thrice:
You lot didn't know what 'drained' actually meant, but it's only for the one adventure anyway
Renee: (( but I will go to 30 if that is allowed. ))
Thrice:
It doesn't last the entire week lol
Thrice:
Yeah that's fine
Thrice:
ANYWAY! LAST TIME ON VELOCITY NEON, YA'LL GOT IN BED WITH THE POLICE AND MET AN OLD MAN WHO'S STILL YOUNGER THAN MORGAN SOMEHOW
Thrice:

Renee:

Thrice:
THIS TIME, Cy's been challenged to grand larceny!
Thrice:
What better way to spend the morning?

Renee:
"Hope you put on a good show, Cy!"
Renee: (( Also, >Lunasee ))
Renee: (( >Not Lunar-K, or Lunarch ))
Renee: (( how's she just gonna dip the theme like that ))
Thrice:
Renee has come around to the Sakura Street electronics shopping district; Xiri pointed to this as a prosperous area to look for info, but it has a bit of a hoodlum problem.

Renee:
Nice, I'm one of those

Cyprien:
"I'll most certainly give it my best!"

Renee:
"So you're saying there'll be competition, huh?"

Renee:
@Xiri

Renee:
"I'm starting to get in the spirit of this thing..."

Karet Kake:
Cy rolls up to the three girls at the meeting point outside the museum. This must be Arkain and her team. One seems to be a biker like you, but she looks asleep at the wheel. Arkain and the last girl are on their phones - probably texting each other.
Kujo has connected.

Karet Kake:
When you show up, the middle of the three looks up, "Ah, here he is." She elbows Arkain, still talking to you, "So you're part of that team everyone's talking about, huh? What'd you do to get so high in the rankings?"

Renee:
"Just so we're clear though, Xi - I'm not buying this 'trapped' bit of yours for a minute. I'll play along for now, but we'll be dumping your silicon ass sooner or later."

Arkain:
Arkain snaps up when she's poked, and winks at you, waving. She makes a few motions with her hands, but you dunno what they mean. You can tell she's hyped up, though.

Renee:
"Just got to find a place for us to stay..." Renee shoves her hands in her pockets and slowly glides down the street, looking for prospects.

Xiri:
"Oh. No. Please, don't. Whatever shall I do if I am not tied to your waist?"

Renee:
"Certainly not shut up, if I had to guess."

Renee:
"There's a mute on you, right? Text-only? I'm just waiting for you to go off while I'm on a mission like the one Cy's got, totally blow my cover.."

Cyprien:
"Ah..greetings, ladies." He returns to wave to Arkain, "It's a pleasure to meet you both as well...well, one of you...I assume she's not an early riser?"
Thrice:
Sakura Street is crowded, as you'd expect. Tons of people are looking to buy the newest gizmo, gadget, or game, and there's a flock of people around the new cafe. Scouting for intel, you notice someone familiar through the window of one of the clothing shops. It's one of those...alternative shops, like Cold Subject. Myst's in there, looking at some nail polish and hair dye

Karet Kake:
The new girl shakes her head, "Not much of a riser at all. Luna! Come on, get up. Introduce yourself!"

Lunasee:
She fidgets around on her bike a bit, swaying. She cracks an eye and peers over her weird Lennon shades, "Ah'm awake...Thish's Ark's deal, right.." With a big yawn, she bids you a little wave before snuggling back up into her handlebars and circling around the parking lot, "Name'sh...Luna... Nice ta meetcha..."

Cyprien:
Cy smiles faintly, "It's nice to meet you as well, don't let me wake you, haha."

Arkain:
You get a text from Arkain, "Do you know what we're doing here?"

Renee:
Renee's begins to grin as she spots the familiar mop of purple hair. "All on her own again, huh? Well, she's got her priorities in order..." Renee zooms in on how disheveled she looks, trying to deduce whether she slept on the streets or in the sheets

Cyprien:
Cy looks down at his phone, "The mission was to steal some sort of gem, no?"

Arkain:
"Yep! ;) This place recently god hold of the Saintly Sapphire. It's one of the most famous jewels in history! :o But grabbing it's the easy part. Then the fun starts. This museum's famous for its hands-on security system."

Cyprien:
"Hands on? As in it's going to attack us?"

Myst:
She's pretty messy, but nothing extreme. Just rocking that second-day hair, the best hair. Looks like she might need to dry clean her jacket, though, but don't you all?

Renee:
That's fair. We'd probably look worse than that had we not gotten cleaned up

Arkain:
"I think so! It's what I've read. But I'm not scared of any museum cops! 🐯"
Renee: (( I'm gonna sneak up next to her ))
Renee: (( or try to, at least. ))

Renee:
(5, 6)

Karet Kake:
KK slides on over to peep Arkain's screen, "So, she's not hiding anything from you. That's good! Competitions should be fair. Do you think you've got the stuff? Sure, ya might be on the best team - for now - but aren't you a bit spindly?"
Thrice:
That's enough to sneak up on her, yeah
Thrice:
She's sorta enthralled by the selection

Renee:
"'morning, sunshine." Renee says quietly. "Nearly 'myst' you!"

Myst:
>sunshine

Myst:
r u hitting on me

Renee:
I am teasing you yes

Cyprien:
"Ahh..the best team? We just got lucky, really..I just want to give it my best.."

Renee:
"Giving your team the slip again, huh? Nice place to end up."

Myst:
"HHIIIEE?!?" With a trembling scream, Myst jumps outta her skin, backpedaling away and tripping over the very useless railing which seems to exist solely for this purpose, "Wha-wh...huh..Oh! I-it's you! What'd I do to deserve that??"

Karet Kake:
She shrugs, "If you say so."

Arkain:
You get another message, "You ready?"

Cyprien:
"I can't say I know the first thing about jewel heists, but yeah, this could be fun!" he texts back.

Renee:
"Yikes, you're jittery this morning!" Renee looks around, holding her hands in the air. "Sorry, sorry!"

Renee:
"I was just checking up on you. We didn't run into anyone after the end of that first mission yesterday... but hey, you look like you made it through night 1 just fine."

Arkain:
"Okay! Do as you like! I'll stroll in. They won't know what I'm there for until I take it."

Myst:
"I-it's okay... I'm just, uh, bad with surprises... A-anyway, yeah. We, er, found a place to stay..." She looks around shiftily as she says that, "But we still need to find somewhere permanent."

Karet Kake:
"We'll be out here waitin' for you. Getaway gang, if you will."

Renee:
"Yeah, us too... that's my mission, today. I have - uh, C, working on a mission, I think M's looking for food..."

Lunasee:
It stirs, "ah'm very fasht... You can ride wifme if ya want..."

Renee:
*working on a Beat

Myst:
"Ah...my teammates are, too. Actually, I kind of am...Wait, hold on! You're doing more missions?? Is 1500 not enough?"
Thrice:
It's up to you how you wanna go about this, Cy. There are windows, skylights, and the like if you wanna t4ry something fancy. Arkain's just walking in, figuring what're they gonna do? Kick out a guest?

Renee:
"So you noticed, huh? We don't really have any way of knowing how much is enough... it's kind of just us setting the pace right now. What, does Team N not think they can catch up?"

Myst:
"Catch up? W-we barely have a fifth of that... How many missions did you do last night?"

Myst:
why does Renee look like she's boutta throw out some gang signs

Renee:
"Let me save you the trouble. You've got Twatter, yeah? Follow @theRealMorgan."
Cyprien: (( I guess I'll just waltz on in, scout the place out a bit ))

Renee:
"Oh, huh. Guess the cat's out of the bag on that one. Ah, well, if he wanted a tag, he shouldn't have been famous."

Receptionist:
Immediately inside is the receptionist, as well as another, illegally smoking, man. "Hello, honored guests! My, what rough attire you have. What could you be here for, I wonder?"

Myst:
"Well, I already knew..." She looks back into the store, "Speaking of which... Er, I don't want to be rude, but I need to keep my look... If you wanna come in with me, you can."

Pompous Middle Aged Man:
"I knew the new exhibits were a mistake. They keep drawing in the riffraff! Far too many children these days."

Cyprien:
"Just here to take in the exhibits," Cy replies with a smile. "May I leave my bike here? I doubt you'd want me taking it through the museum.."

Renee:
"Thanks, I could use a bit of touching up myself!"

Receptionist:
"Absolutely. We'd have to confiscate it if you took it any further."

Renee:
"This was not the environment I dressed up for the night before."

Arkain:
Arkain is blissfully unaware and just keeps walking through

Pompous Middle Aged Man:
The pompous man scoffs at being ignored, "Well, I'll be! I'll have you know, I've got my eye on you! Ignoring authority, we'll see about that... And you! You'd damn well better leave that contraption here! Your shoes will leave enough tracks as it is."

Myst:
"Er...well, they do have jackets here..."

Myst:
If you're into that

Renee:
is anyone actively not into jackets

Cyprien:
Cy leaves his bike by the door, "Sorry, I didn't know you worked here."
Thrice:
it's cold subject
Thrice:
they're all chuuni jackets

Renee:
oh

Thrice:

Thrice:
shit*

Renee:
nice
Thrice:
Further in, the museum has a few exhibits on strange, hopefully extinct animals, followed by some definitely extinct ones
Renee: (( I'll get like, a bracelet and one of those dye streaks or something ))
Thrice:
red highlights like Arkain
Renee: (( Match my beanie ))
Thrice:
to warm u up

Journalist Girl:
Not far in, you're approached by a teen girl in a flat cap, who shoves a camera in your face, "Hey, hey! New faces! Here on a date? Hey, whaddaya think about the museum? Are you here for the new Sapphire?"

Journalist Girl:
It's not a camcorder, just a regular camera, but it's one of those big honkin' things you swear went out of style in the 80s

Journalist Girl:
the 1880

Journalist Girl:
s

Journalist Girl:
The flash on it is abnormally bright, almost to the point of pain

Myst:
Myst grabs a few things herself - some hair dye, nail polish, other hair products. This look ain't easy to keep up. She also buys a few cleaning kits cause she's prolley gonna need em

Shades:
While you're perusing with her, you overhear an...interesting conversation. "Ugh, couldn't ya've picked a better place to meet up, Pomp? Everyone knows only loser teens come in here."

Cyprien:
"Hrmm, I'd hope this is a modern art exhibit..hrk!" Cy almost trips over the camera girl getting all up in his face, "Ack! That's bright!"'

Renee:
"I bet some of this polish is flammable..." Renee tilts the bottle around in her hand.

Pomp:
"'at's why we're here. No cop'd be caught dead in this place. Listen, we gotta do sumnin' bout that punk. We can't let him creep 'round our old place like that. Bad for business."

Journalist Girl:
"Ah, sorry, sorry! The pics just don't look the same if I turn the settings down!"

Renee:
"Doubt we're going to have someone to start the fires FOR us next time."
Renee: (( Gotta swoop Jason soon ))

Cyprien:
"Ngh, it's fine. I appreciate the enthusiasm." He replies, blinking harshly a few more times.

Journalist Girl:
"You bet! Always ready! Hey, can ya tell me what brought ya to the Lancast Museum?"

Bangs:
"Aw, do we gotta? We don't even use it no more!"

Myst:
"F-flammable...? I, er - well, yeah...The hairspray is, too... It can be dangerous..."

Cyprien:
"Well, I've never been before, so I figured I'd check it out. It's been a long while since I've been to a museum."

Renee:
"Ooh, good idea..."
Cyprien: (( I'm also gonna have to break off for a bit. I need to go get food and also my roommate needs me to drive some medicine over to the place she's staying at ))

Shades:
"Nah, he's right. Just cause we ain't usin' it don't mean nobody else can! The boss'd be pissed. We gotta get this kid before she finds out, or we're dead meat!"
Shades: (( that's fine, we can pause for a minute ))
Cyprien: (( kk, I'll let you guys know when I get back ))
Renee: (( aight nvm Jason got a ride ))

Bangs:
"Ooofh, you're right... I don't wanna see da boss mad..."

Renee:
"So you think you've got enough paint to lock a place down?"

Renee:
"I've got a couple ideas for clearing out some pace..."

Renee:
+s

Myst:
"Er, do you mean, like, spraypaint? I've got some... Nyste got mad when I told her I didn't have any."

Renee:
"Yeah, the lady at the shop basically insisted."

Renee:
"I still have no idea what we're here for or why they want us to do all this... or who 'they' even are. I thought I had a lead, but it went nowhere."

Renee:
"I swear I've heard planes around, but I haven't seen any. It's weird."

Myst:
"Yeah, it's...it's strange. But I try not to think too hard about it... To tell you the truth, I don't really mind it here... There are more people that acc---"

Shades:
Three assholes from the back of the shop come a FRONTIN past you, pushing Myst outta the way, "Move it, lozah!"
Renee: (( oh I totally missed that Shades was on my end ))
Renee: (( where tf even is his toke ))

Myst:
"O-owh..."

Pomp:
"Sorry 'bout that, miss. We're inna hurreh, ya see."
Renee: (( let me read that real quick bc I thought it didn't pertain to me ))
Renee: (( sry ))

Pomp:
nice

Renee:
oh he is very large

Pomp:
Pomp is 6'7" of pure muscle and hair

Shades:
shades is about 5'8" of pure dickery

Renee:
"Hey! Yeah, you bet you're sorry! What's wrong with you?"

Renee:
"You alright, Myst?"

Bangs:
"We gotta go trounce a bad, bad boy! Nothin' 'gainst yous!"

Myst:
"Ow... I -" She looks herselve over; no physical injuries, at least, "yeah, I'm fine..."

Renee:
Checking them for handletters I guess

Myst:
what

Renee:
u know
Ci Tsukino is disconnected.

Renee:
the slowybois

Renee:
*glowy

Myst:
i am still confused

Renee:
Renee glares at Shades, and casts a glance at the backs of their hand. Maybe this was a rival team?

Myst:
oh

Myst:
okay that makes more sense

Myst:
Nah, they don't seem to have anything like that. Well, Shades doesn't

Myst:
Pomp's wearing gloves and Bangs' sleeves cover her hands

Myst:
So who knows with them

Shades:
"NEWAY! Move it, punks. Bigger punks comin' through. We got business without cha, and ya really wouldn't rather it be with ya, now would ya?"

Renee:
This wasn't the place to make a scene, but Renee makes it a point to hold a grudge. "Better keep moving, then. You're killing the mood here anyway."

Pomp:
"Much appreciated." The Dark Hand goons head out the door into Sakura Street proper
Renee: (( Will follow up after they leave ))

Renee:
"Hey, Myst. You wanna screw with 'em?"

Myst:
what, an orgy? they're not my type

Myst:
"U-uh...What?? Did you see that guy? He was huge!!"

Renee:
"How could I not?"

Renee:
"I think it'd pay to know what the locals are up to, though... especially if they're up to no good. Maybe we can snipe a Beat..."
Ci Tsukino has connected.

Myst:
"Urgh...I-I guess, yeah... Sure. What's your plan? You...do have a plan, right?"
Ci Tsukino: (( Hewwo. ))
Renee: (( He. Wwo. ))

Renee:
"Girl, you expect waaaay too much out of me."

Renee:
"Does 'tail them and see if it's worth getting involved' count as a plan?"

Renee:
"We wanted to see more of the city anyway, we're just adding some spice to it."

Journalist Girl:
"Well, ya came at as good a time as any! People've been waitin' for the Sapphire fer years! This' the best scoop I've had since I started!"
Ci Tsukino: (( What's Arkain doing now? ))

Myst:
"Uh, I guess that works. I'm pretty good at staying hidden..."

Renee:
"Fancy that, I'm not too bad at running away! We'll make a good team."

Arkain:
The light kind of caught her off guard, but she's since recovered from reeling. She waves at the reporter, but seems more interested in all the whack-ass creatures in the room, and keeps eying the door to the next one
Ci Tsukino: (( Okay, just wanted to make sure she wasn't gonna break on ahead yet ))

Cyprien:
"What's all the fuss about this sapphire? Is it really big or something?"

Journalist Girl:
"Well, physically, nae! Right small little thing. But it's said to've been first given to a Pope, then changed hands 'atween nobility so often, it's been owned by more houses 'n any other jewel! Ah, the stories it could tell, what only it could speak!"
Cyprien: (( When did she transition into the 8th gen trainer girl? ))
Renee: (( just now ))
Renee: (( Scottish accent is good ))

Journalist Girl:
She's got less of a scottish accent and more like an old timey new york newspaper boy's

Myst:
Renee and Myst trail the three members of the Dark Hand down to east Sakura Street, but the three check around! Make a roll, kids

Cyprien:
"Ahh, sounds like it's quite the impressive thing from a historical aspect, I guess I'll have to go check it out." He looks to the far wall, "Which exhibit hall is it in?"

Myst:
(1, 5, 5, 5, 5)

Renee:
yo

Myst:
the only thing she is good at

Renee:
can I bsQuickly hiding behind something

Myst:
Yeah, Quick, Evasive, even Perceptive or Intuitive could apply

Renee:
I

Myst:
To notice them about to check or get a gut feeling to hide

Renee:
assume not ALL of those

Renee:
because you just listed most of my skills

Renee:
this is a weird system

Renee:
(1, 1, 2, 3, 5)

Myst:
In this scenario they'd all apply

Renee:
well I guess then

Myst:
These aren't the most subtle of Dark Hand members

Renee:
I will add 5 more dice

Renee:
(1, 2, 3, 4, 6)

Myst:
fucking

Myst:
nice

Renee:
that didn't actually help.

Renee:
so 6 lol

Myst:
Myst reacts before the three have even started checking, and slides in between a couple of vending machines, perfectly tucking herself away. Renee is a bit slower on the uptake, but she still manages to duck behind a group of passerby

Renee:
"One with the crowd..."

Myst:
one with the sodas

Myst:
i blend in perfectly with grape crush

Journalist Girl:
"It's at the right end of the place! I can take yah there if yah want!"
Renee: (( you just doomed her. ))

Cyprien:
"Ah, I appreciate it, but I wouldn't want to waste your time." He motions towards Arkain, "We'll take our time enjoying the other sights first."

Renege:
Gonna check my phone for beats in the area.
Thrice:
On the other end of the street, Renny and Myst find the three gangstahs strutting up to a kid scoutin' out an old club. A dilapidated sign out front, long devoid of any neon it once held, reads VIPER PAVILLION. The young lad sticks out from the crowd with his wild, clashing outfit and hair, and his attempts to hide himself are...subpar, at best

Journalist Girl:
"Sure thing! Tell me if ya hear anythin' saucy, wontcha?"

Arkain:
She sends you a text, "Finally! I was about to leave you in the dust! :D"

Arkain:
The next room has an assortment of fossils, as well as a young man and old man

Arkain:
The latter of whom is spouting off a lecture about archeology and paleontology, and you don't wanna risk getting caught up in that
Renege: (( *an assortment of fossils as well as a young man ))

Cyprien:
"Sure, will do!" Cy briefly waves at the camera girl before scooting on past her towards the other room. He pulls out his phone and looks at the other message, "I didn't think she'd ever stop...>_> Oh well, the sapphire is..." he briefly goes back and erases the last line. "Almost forgot this was a race, can't be giving you too much info, hmm? :P"

Arkain:
One of the doors has a sign saying FOR PERSONNEL USE ONLY. AL(sic) NOT FOR GUEST VIEWING.

Arkain:
She quips back, "Well, that's mean! But all I need to do is follow you." She is a little curious about the locked door, but guesses the sapphire's not locked up in there if you aren't heading toward it

Cyprien:
"Hah, I guess you're right. Not gonna lose you with how empty this place is lol"

Cyprien:
Cy pauses for a moment after sending the lol, realizing he didn't laugh out loud and even if he did, Arkain wouldn't be able to hear it.

Bangs:
Bangs walks up to the squatter, and slaps him on the shoulder, "Ooooiii! Hey hey, ya gottan interest in ol' club?"
Renege: (( gonna hop upstairs to my laptop - too much conversation is happening down here, can't stay focused ))
Renege: (( brb ))
Agi is disconnected.
Thrice:
You finally make it into the biggest exhibit room. A huge skeleton sits in the middle, flanked by displays of ancient warriors on one side, and language on the other. At the far end of the room, you can see what you suppose to be the Saintly Sapphire. It's positioned atop the crossed swords of noble knights who once guarded it through the ages. When you walk in, the curator welcomes you.
Agi has connected.

Curator:
An old man with the air of a gentleman, the curator bows to you, "Ah! Hello, hello. Quite young to be here, aren't you? That's a good thing, mind! So inspiriting to see your interest in our displays."
Renege: (( repost the last bit of dialogue? I was gonna hop downstairs to grab it but Jason hopped on ))

Bangs:
Bangs walks up to the squatter, and slaps him on the shoulder, "Ooooiii! Hey hey, ya gottan interest in ol' club?"

Renege:
ah yes, my favorite club

Renege:
club

Bangs:
it was supposed to be "the"

Bangs:
you only asked for the most recent post (waiting)

Bangs:
the one before that described it

Bangs:
On the other end of the street, Renny and Myst find the three gangstahs strutting up to a kid scoutin' out an old club. A dilapidated sign out front, long devoid of any neon it once held, reads VIPER PAVILLION. The young lad sticks out from the crowd with his wild, clashing outfit and hair, and his attempts to hide himself are...subpar, at best

Renege:
I was just goofin

Hezit8:
The kid starts, looking over his shoulder, "Blimey if ya wouldn't sneak up on me like that, n--- Oh, y'aint... Uh, well, whozzis, then?"

Renege:
"Ooh, territory wars..."

Cyprien:
"They're certainly quite impressive, I assume you're the curator of this museum?"

Shades:
"Say, kid, y'ever heard of the Black Bell? Nah, don't even answer. Ya wouldn't be peepin' this place if ya had."

Curator:
"Oh, my apologies! Yes, that would be me. John Heartvine, of the Lancast museum. Did you come for the sapphire?"

Hezit8:
"Well, I'd be peepin' on summin' better if I had the choice, but it's all just sorted itself out this way, innit?"

Curator:
"It's certainly the biggest attraction we have at the moment."

Cyprien:
"I've never been to the museum, but once I arrived I was told it was certainly the highlight."

Pomp:
"Sorry 'bout it, kid, but we gotta ask you to leave. This' our old turf."

Renege:
"Old turf? That"

Renege:
fek where's the delete

Hezit8:
The kid stands up, "This? Oh, come on! Lookit it, it's rubbish, and right bare at that! Ya ain't pullin the sheet's over me here. There ain't nobody here!"

Hezit8:
-'
Ci Tsukino is disconnected.

Arkain:
Arkain's eyes have found the jewel, and she starts to casually stroll toward it

Renege:
(Old turf? That's about it right there, isn't it?)

Bangs:
"Weeeelll...yer not *wrong*, but it's still ours! And we can't have people starin' at our stuff."
Ci Tsukino has connected.

Hezit8:
"Well now I wasn't plannin to just sit out here! Look - I'll level with ya. I spent the night on the streets - and I kin handle that, sure - but me mates deserve bettah. Ain't nobody usin' this place, why 'ontcha give it ovah?"

Arkain:
Arkain's eyes have found the jewel, and she starts to casually stroll toward it

Renege:
Renege moves along with the crowd, but doubles back to come out by Hezit8's side, after confirming her suspicions on her feed. "Hesitated long enough, wouldn't you say?" Pretty lucky to run into her singular fan in this situation.
Cyprien: (( Oh, I moved up but I guess I got disconnected before it happened lol ))

Curator:
"Ah, hold on, now - I hate to say, but we need to perform a check. Quite protective of our gem, you understand! We only need to assure you aren't carrying anything of disrepute."

Cyprien:
"Oh, of course, that makes sense."

Hezit8:
"Hah? Oh...Oi, I recognize you! Yer that action hero, right on?"

Renege:
"You could say that!" And you could say it again. "I thought I recognized that hair. These guys really going to be that petty on you?"

Museum Guard:
The big guard comes over with a metal detector, He eyes bore holes in you up and down, but he doesn't seem to find anything other than your phone and...headphones. Unless you DO happen to be packin' some gun's
Cyprien: (( If I am it's news to me. ))

Museum Guard:
Arkain's a bit of a different story, though - she doesn't know to expect this guy to come at her, and panics a bit as he lumbers over. She gets the picture when he detects Cy's ass, though, and lets him run the detector over her... But, of course it goes off. Her head is like, 30% metal.

Renege:
" 'Old' turf sounds pretty open, doesn't it? You guys out there giving middle schoolers crap for using your 'old' desks?"

Arkain:
She throws her hands up, noticing the flashing lights on the detector. She points to her piercings, and choker, and gloves, but the big guy ain't having it

Minneapolis Jones:
And nor is this guy, "As head of security, I can't let you any closer! Not on ol' Minneapolis Jones' watch! I've half a mind to toss ye out. State yer case, miscreant."

Renege:
"We'll give it a nice spray-over. Nobody'll recognize the place when we're done with it, right?"

Cyprien:
"Uh, my apologies, sirs. But uhh, she's deaf."

Minneapolis Jones:
"By the gods, aren't all you young'uns? Ya never listen to anything."

Curator:
"I don't believe he's being coy, Jones. Hmm.."

Arkain:
Obviously she can't understand them, but she gets the picture. She catches your eye, and winks, then starts to sign something to you. You've got no idea what it means, but you notice she's pointing to the gem with every symbol

Arkain:
She takes out a notepad, and points to the curator, then the pad, waving her pen - she'll explain her case by writing it down.

Shades:
"Oi, it's the kid from the shop! Oh, buddy, you made a mistake here. Shoulda stayed away. Look! Our boss might abandon some places, but she never hands 'em out!"

Shades:
"Ye want handouts, wait til ya old enough to vote 'em in."

Hezit8:
"Oi, don't'cha talk to a girl like that! If ya wanted this place so bad, why'd up n' scoot on out?"

Renege:
"Hey, hey." Renee holds up her hands. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Maybe I'm trying to help YOU out here. I'm not sure if you're fully aware of the situation you're in right now."

Museum Guard:
The guard watches Arkain scribble on the pad, making sure she ain't 'boutta stab nobody

Renege:
"God knows I'm not, and I'd like to think I have the upper hand there, for... well, a few reasons, really."

Pomp:
"Oh? Now whaddaya mean by that, kid? Don't try no funny business."

Myst:
I am still hiding

Renege:
probably a good idea yea
Cyprien: (( So what's everyone else doing at the moment. I assume the curator and big security guy are focused on Arkain ))

Bangs:
"Ahaha! Yeah, no funny business! Don't wanna be laughed at, do ya?"
Thrice:
Yeah, they are. Minneapolis Jones is also watching her, with his trusty bullwhip in hand in case she tries anything off
Cyprien: (( So is this thing high off the ground or what ))

Renege:
"Look, cutting to the chase - you're going to be getting a lot of new company, whether you like it or not. I bet your crew knows the city pretty well, huh? You ever see either of us before?" Renee thumbs between herself and Hez
Thrice:
About ten feet up, in a little cup between two swords - which are sharp

Renege:
"I could see missing me, but come on. Look at this guy."

Shades:
"Okay, fair, I ain't seen the green pup before, but I wouldn't remember yer bland ass if ya stole the shades off my face."

Shades:
"Whassit matter? Ya think I got a photographic memory or somethin'?"

Shades:
"Just a coupla punks to me."

Renege:
"Not just a couple of 'em, I'll tell you that much."

Saintly Sapphire:
Somehow I missed making this thing visible

Shades:
"Alright, smartass, this' gon on too long! Come on, boys. Let's run these bastards outta here."

Pomp:
The big guy rests a hand on his partner's shoulder, "Hold up, Shades. They're kids. We rough 'em up too bad, the cops'll get involved. I got a proposition for you punks. You wanna hear it?"

Renege:
"I'm not saying no..."

Curator:
"Hrm...'punk', you say? These are just for decoration? What about the knuckles..." He writes that down and passes it back

Cyprien:
"Would it be alright if I went ahead to look at the sapphire? She can speak for herself better than I could hope to.."

Museum Guard:
"HMGH." You judge from the nod that he's giving you the go-ahead

Pomp:
"It wouldn't be good for us to kick ya outta here the old-fashioned way. So we'll settle this your way. Turf war."
Cyprien: (( Can I roll a perception check or something to see if there's any other security besides the physical security guards? ))

Pomp:
Yeah absolutely

Cyprien:
(2, 3, 4, 5)
Cyprien: (( Ah, I see. ))
Cyprien: (( Absolutely nothing, is what I see." ))
Renege: (( (eyes) ))

Bangs:
"A- hey, how do you know about that, Pomp?? That's our deal!"
Thrice:
You notice a small spring under the cup, which is probably to alert the system if the gem is removed, but you have a feeling they'd know anyway, somehow.
Renege: (( just freeze it ))
Thrice:
The statues here, at least, seem to be just that - you don't see anything that could move. So they probably won't attack you
Thrice:
but you don't trust those cats

Hezit8:
"Oh-ho... So the gist of it is, take the turf as our own, then yeh've gotta shut yer yap?"

Renege:
"Sounds like a deal to me!"

Shades:
"Ngh...man, this'd never be a problem four years ago... Pomp, if we lose, the boss is seriously gonna kill us!"

Renege:
"Hey, any of your old crap we find - that's ours now, right?"

Bangs:
"Awh, it won't be that bad....You can take a heel to the face! And all we gotta do is win! They're just kids!"

Shades:
"What? Hell no!"

Pomp:
"This' just for Sakura Street, kid. Don't push your luck."

Hezit8:
"Say, uh...I never caught your name - yer packin' cannons, right?"
Cyprien: (( Would I have to climb it to reach it? It kinda looks like I could step up the first part? ))
Hezit8: (( Yeah, you can just step up onto the pedestal and reach up ))

Renege:
"Going by Renege. And yeah. Came prepared. Let me see if we have anything that matches..."

Renege:
Renee casts a glance over towards where Myst is still hiding. "Got backup, too. Just going to sit on that for now... I think she'll just be happy not to fight."

Hezit8:
"Oh? Thank god! I can't get me mates wrapped up in this."

Hezit8:
"I'd never hear th'end of it."
Cyprien: (( Hey remember that time we made friends with the cops? ))
Cyprien: (( Cause that good will is about to be gone :V ))

Renege:
"Don't tell me - you're the one who does everything on your team. Seems to be a few teams like that..."
Renege: (( It was gonna be gone eventually. ))
Renege: (( Jet will understand. ))
Cyprien: (( WHO THINKS I SHOULD JUST GO FOR IT? :O ))

Pomp:
The big guy points out a bunch of tags around the block - all the same design. A huge, cracked black bell with a few 'sound lines' around, adorned with a thorny rose in the middle. The paint is all old, faded, and chipped

Pomp:
"See those? We're gonna re-paint 'em. You paint your design over 'em. Whichever side's got the most at the end of this wins."

Pomp:
ftr the one next to Renee is across the street lol

Renege:
nah I'm just Metal Gearing
Renege: (( Always just go for it. ))
Renege: (( what's the worst that could happen ))

Arkain:
Arkain's having trouble keeping them busy for too much longer

Arkain:
She keeps shooting you glances
Renege: (( get the big guy talking about the cats. ))
Renege: (( then go. ))

Myst:
Are you gonna send Myst a message to get her ass in gear

Renege:
yeh.

Renege:
Renee whistles and waves. "Alright, you're good! You catch any of that?"

Myst:
and now you're whistling at me, sheesh woman

Myst:
u cna't just catcall people

Renege:
bet

Cyprien:
Cy goes for it, assuming getting beaten to death is the worst that will happen. He steps up and reaches for the sapphire!

Myst:
"Eep... U-uh..yeah! At least I don't have to fight anybody..."

Shades:
BET

Renege:
"Crap, though - a design, are you kidding me...?"

Arkain:
Roll Quick, Dexterous, Agile, etc Cy

Renege:
(I guess we can always repaint over them..."

Cyprien:
(3, 4, 6)

Renege:
"Hezit8, yeah? I assume you have the same tag offline. What team are you? Gotta make this quick and dirty."

Arkain:
When she notices you reaching, Arkain leaps into the air and grabs the big guy's hat, yanking it down over his eyes! Minneapolis belts out a "HAH!" and readies his whip, but is distracted by Cy's gambit - which pays off. You grab the sapphire, but trip the pressure cup - not that it matters at this point. Deafening alarms blare throughout the museum, red lights flashing.

Arkain:
NOW PLAYING The Bouncer - Mikado https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZmOtga0_hw

Cyprien:
Cy grabs the sapphire and hops down, making a break around the far side of the room, opposite Minneapolis so as to meet up with Arkain.

Hezit8:
He shows you the back of his hand, "At's team T, mate! Guess that's the easiest, then!"

Saintly Sapphire:
you have ownership of this now

Minneapolis Jones:
Minneapolis cracks his whip, "HYAH! Bout damn time I get to use this thing!"

Renege:
"Aw, as if I'm just going to give it up THAT easy." Renee shakes up a can thoughtfullyy

Curator:
John is completely taken aback, "You! A little TOO interested, aren't you? Get the sapphire back! Alert all personnel! Activate the emergency measuers!"
Thrice:
And now for Initiative

Arkain:
So, Init is 2 dice, affected by things like Quick and Slow. Not Agile, which really should be called Graceful and not Agile bc it's just confusing what it's used for

Renege:
o shit there's a lot of those

Renege:
I missed that they were on the other side

Arkain:
(2, 2)

Cyprien:
(3, 3)

Arkain:
So, Arkain's init is a 4

Minneapolis Jones:
(4, 6)

Museum Guard:
(4)
Tokens dropped onto map 'Museum' by player Agi (Player)

Myst:
(1, 1, 4, 6)

Pomp:
(2, 6)

roughsymbol:
this is what I get for not having GIMP

Shades:
(1, 6, 6)

Bangs:
(4, 6)

Renege:
Quick is init right

Bangs:
So many 6s

Bangs:
Yes

Renege:
(2, 4, 4, 5, 6)

Hezit8:
(1, 3)

Hezit8:
so

Hezit8:
so many 6s

Renege:
oof

Renege:
that's the 6tem

Museum Guard:
On Cy's end, these guys are Surprised - they can't act this round, and take a penalty to any rolls they're forced to make(like Defense rolls)

Museum Guard:
As for how far you can move, I'mma say 5+Quick, Evasive, or Agile spaces

Museum Guard:
That part only applies to the Museum side

Renege:
"Alright, something like that! Maybe squish the arrow down a bit. We're the next in line, let's take our place!"

Museum Guard:
it's more abstract over on the other side
Cyprien: (( Welp, better snap to grid ))
Renege: (( ew. Grids. ))

Cyprien:
Cy makes a motion like, "Let's get the fuck outta this place!" to Arkain while the guards are distracted.
Cyprien: (( God I wish I had taken quick instead of agile. ))
Cyprien: (( Agile has been fucking useless so far :V ))
Shades: (( agile helps you smakk people at least ))
Cyprien: (( I'm a pacifist tho D: ))
Shades: (( be a mean one ))
Renege: (( That sounds like a personal problem. ))
Cyprien: (( And I have +2 on attack ))
Shades: (( you can swap out Agile for Quick if you want to lol ))
Shades: (( since Agile isn't really clear what it refers to ))
Shades: (( it's like...grace and balance ))
Shades: (( stylin' on people ))
Renege: (( it refers to u do the tricks ))
Cyprien: (( Done and done :V ))

Shades:
Shades bolts over to the vending machines, going for the closest tag! He tries to clamber up!

Shades:
(1, 4, 6)

Cyprien:
Cy makes a break for the door, adrenaline pumping!

Shades:
"Gettin' too old for this shit!" Despite his complaints, he manages to get himself up, and re-paints the tag!

Shades:
(4, 5, 5)

Shades:
You need a total of 8 to fully paint a tag, so he's got it in one!

Renege:
that fucko
Renege has received initiative.

Renege:
"I'll get a head-start down the street!"

Renege:
She pushes off on she skate
Thrice:
On the Museum end, the guards are helpless to stop Cy, but he hears something creaking behind him.... With a glance backward, he can see a statue defy its nature!

Renege:
I do not know how many Fars I can get
Thrice:
A lifelike statue springs to life and snatches up a spear shaft from the display!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
(3, 4, 6, 6)
Renege has received initiative.

Renege:
but I'd go for the one at the level of the vending machine

Renege:
and look for a good way up (waiting)
Cyprien has received initiative.
Thrice:
NOW PLAYING Oceanliners - Funky Pants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88_J8zt6ARA
Thrice:
Also on Agi's end
Thrice:
Renee, you can't reach that one just yet - it's a block down Sakura street! But, you could always try and fuck with the others somehow
Renege: (( they on any wheels? ))

Myst:
Myst panics, skating past the big guy! He sticks his arm out to stop her...

Myst:
(1, 1, 3, 4, 4)

Pomp:
(1, 2, 4, 5)

Myst:
But she ducks under and keeps going!

Myst:
The only one on wheels is Bangs

Myst:
Who has blades
Renege: (( perfect ))
Unresolved value "dice".

Myst:
(1, 4)

Myst:
Oof

Myst:
Halfway there! She can't seem to get the spray to work right...

Myst:
Used to spraying hair, not buildings

Renege:
"Have fun with this" Renee yoinks, and then yeets, a container of nail polish at Bangs's feet, spreading the slippery alcohol and shardy glass around!

Renege:
unmodified dice roll prolly

Renege:
(2, 4)

Renege:
oof

Arkain:
Arkain dips under the dino fossil, cutting through!

Pomp:
You toss the polish toward Bangs, but your aim's off, and it lands at Pomp's feet instead, surrounding him in glass and staining his pants! They're designer, you know.

Renege:
oh nooo

Pomp:
"Ohh?? I see how it is, little girl!" He kicks the glass away with his big-ass boots

Cyprien:
"What the?! You've gotta be kidding me! Living exhibits?!"

Pomp:
(1, 2, 4, 5, 5)

Pomp:
And isn't even hurt! He's slowed down, though, and it's clear he ain't gettin' anywhere...or so you think

Pomp:
He slams into the vending machine, punching through the glass, and grabs a cold, refreshing Bepsi!:tm:

Pomp:
And fuckin CHUCKS it at Renee!

Pomp:
(2, 5, 5, 5, 6)

Renege:
god DAMN lol
Renege: (( Glass bottle or plastic bottle ))

Bangs:
Bangs heads to the other side of the street to get the ground level mark! But she's gotta dodge cars!

Bangs:
It's a can lol

Renege:
less ow but still very ow

Bangs:
(1, 3, 6)

Bangs:
She dodges em all, but the effort puts a strain on her, she almost got hit! She'll take a penalty to rolls for a round! Which is gonna come in handy as she has to now pain this thing

Renege:
Renee's heart drops, and so does she! She leans down and hard to one side!

Bangs:
(5, 5)

Bangs:
oh

Renege:
pls

Bangs:
"Heehee! See! I'm the best, around!!"

Renege:
Evasive and quick both went into dodging yeh

Hezit8:
yeah

Renege:
bc quick is just the best skill

Renege:
(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 6)

Renege:
oof OUCH oof

Hezit8:
Tate hops up onto the fence and shimmies up the street sign!

Hezit8:
this is where Agile would come in handy

Hezit8:
(3, 4, 4)

Hezit8:
He makes it to the top pretty handily, but he ain;'t in the best position here...

Hezit8:
(3, 4, 5, 5)

Hezit8:
"Ah ha! Got one!"

Hezit8:
"Ya see that, girls?"

Renege:
So you got a 6

Renege:
vs 15

Renege:
I took 9 damages

Renege:
With a DX of 2

Renege:
oh

Renege:
which is pretty low.

Shades:
"Ooohh...boy... How'm I supposed to get up there..."

Renege:
"Gaah! That guy's got an arm!"

Shades:
Well, he's gotta try. Like the ancient early 30s man he is, he scuttles up the wall, grabbing any pipes and billboards he can for leverage

Shades:
(3, 6)

Shades:
But he barely makes it halfway up before he's gotta stop to catch his breath! "Hah...hah..." Looking down, he gulps, "Oh, this was a bad idea."
Cyprien: (( How many spaces is it to get to the previous room of the museum ))

Shades:
From the door? Just one

Renege:
The can skims Renee's shoulder, skipping ahead and spraying its fizz around wildly.
Renege: (( Being on Youtube for this music is v dangerous ))

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
"PESSIMISM IS A LOSING STRATEGY!" the animated warlord belts out as it lunges toward Cy and Arkain!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
It brings its spear shaft down onto their heads!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
(3, 4, 5, 6)
Cyprien: (( Quick to dodge? ))
Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue): (( quick, evasive, etc yeah ))

Arkain:
(6, 6)

Cyprien:
(1, 1, 2)
Cyprien: (( bloop ))

Arkain:
Arkain dips down with time to spare, and sees Cy get smacked!

Arkain:
It's a DX of 2, so you take 8 damage

Cyprien:
"Ngh..! Dammit, so this is the security you meant...!"
Renege has received initiative.

Renege:
Renee switches to skating backwards, keeping an eye on Pomp, and more importantly, his hands. She rolls backwards to the vending machine, shakes up her can, and gives a good spritz.
Renege: (( So burning Endurance here WILL drain it proper, right ))
Thrice: (( if it isn't an attack, yes ))
Thrice: (( If you're spraying him, then it probably is an attack ))

Renege:
I can't spray him he's a billion away

Renege:
I'm just getting the masheen while keeping an eye on projectiles
Thrice: (( But if you're just spraying the tag then nah, it's draining endurance unless you can find a perk that matches up ))
Cyprien has received initiative.
Renege: (( yeaaah not today. ))

Renege:
doubles, doubles, give me the doubles.

Renege:
(3, 5)

Renege:
that adds up to 8.

Minneapolis Jones:
you can hit Space while moving MT

Minneapolis Jones:
To 'turn'

Minneapolis Jones:
or rather, track your movement

Minneapolis Jones:
gotta be moving a token yea

Minneapolis Jones:
"Damn miscreants! I'll whip ya into shape!"
Cyprien: (( Well we're, or at least I'm gonna bolt out of this room. Are there doors or I assume it's just an open doorway ))

Minneapolis Jones:
Moren' halfway there, kid, but not quite done yet

Minneapolis Jones:
The door is open

Minneapolis Jones:
Abiding by the rules of the museum, he carefully skates around the pedestal, but cracks his whip toward the punk rock girl!

Minneapolis Jones:
(1, 2, 3, 3)

Arkain:
Fuck it, time for a combat lesson

Renege:
"Okay, the Z is good enough... how'm I going to get up there, though?"

Arkain:
She's not dodging! She's gonna counter!

Arkain:
So how countering works - you make an attack roll, instead of a dodge roll. Whoever wins, wins, and the loser gets no defense roll at all

Arkain:
You're supposed to do this BEFORE the opponent rolls, but I forgot

Arkain:
(2, 3, 6, 6)

Arkain:
Unfortunately, this does no damage - but it entirely disarms the whip!

Arkain:
She yanks it outta Minny's hand!
Cyprien: (( So much for his big gimmick. ))

Arkain:
Now who's in charge?

Minneapolis Jones:
"That whip was my very being!! That's it, you're goin' straight to superjail after this!"

Arkain:
how the fuck do you use a whip

Renege:
space jail
Cyprien: (( Ask Devo ))

Myst:
Myst panics, all too aware of Pomp at her back. She tries to finish up her job here so she can GTFO

Myst:
(4, 5, 6)

Myst:
And she's good! That's like, two and a half for you guys!

Renege:
yaay

Renege:
Pomp is going to kill us all

Myst:
She jumps up on top of the vending machines to get away from the Big Guy, avoiding the one he, uh, smashed into

Myst:
(2, 3, 6, 6)

Myst:
But now she's sandwiched between these two assholes

Renege:
devil's threesome

Pomp:
"Hup...."

Renege:
he boi boutta throw a vending machine

Pomp:
Pomp puts his back into it! He flexes out of the room and wraps his arms around the vending machine!

Pomp:
The one Myst is on!

Renege:
oh

Pomp:
(1, 3, 4, 4, 5)

Renege:
he boi actually boutta throw a vending machine.

Pomp:
He WOULD, but he's not quite strong enough! Instead, he furiously shakes it, trying to knock her down!

Myst:
(2, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Myst:
oof

Renege:
shouldn't he be The Bigge

Renege:
There we go

Myst:
Myst manages to leap off and grab onto the streetlight at the last second, but now she's free danglin' above the street, with nothing to support her!

Pomp:
"Lucky break, kid! I'll just rip that down, next!"

Renege:
She has her arms??

Pomp:
yeah but nothing UNDER her

Pomp:
she's just hanging like 20+ feet off the ground

Pomp:
by her arms

Renege:
that's a bad spot to be

Arkain:
Arkaingel tries to get the hang of the whip, and cracks it at Hideyoshi!

Arkain:
(2, 2, 5)

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
(4, 4, 4, 5)

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
He casually steps out of the way, wiggling his eyebrows

Arkain:
She shrugs, and follows Cy into the next room

Bangs:
Bangs rockets toward the other side of the street, not wanting to leave it uncontested!

Bangs:
(3, 4, 6)
Cyprien: (( What are these shelves like next to me? Could I use them to block the doorway or are they like super heavy? ))

Bangs:
She skates around the glass and polish, losing a bit of distance!

Bangs:
You could potentially move em, but it'd take a lot of effort
Thrice:
They're just aluminum though, not steel
Cyprien: (( al-ooo-min-i-um ))

Pompous Old Guy:
"OH HEAVENS OH ME OH MY WHAT RUFFIANS HAVE INVADED OUR GLORIOUS MUSEUM HOW COULD THIS BE"
Renege: (( so I COULD manifest my Soul Album here, and grab Myst... ))

Journalist Girl:
The room whites out with a distinctive CLICK, as another voice pops in, "Are you kiddin' me?? This' the scoop'a da century! You guys'a got nuggets've steel! Oh, this is gonna make me rich!"

Guy Looking At Table:
i just wanted to look at dinosaurs man
Renege: (( Feels a little bit cheap tho? It has kind of a funny connecting element in that both times it would be through a refrigerator. ))

Museum Guard:
The lumbering fool trots over, pulling out a grenade! He tosses it through the door into the next room, which is a hard fuckin' sell cause that's a good few feet!

Museum Guard:
(1, 3, 6)

Museum Guard:
It bounces off one of the walls, but still EXPLODES
Renege: (( a FUCKING grenade ))

Museum Guard:
sending rubber balls everywhere

Museum Guard:
it's not THAT kind of grenade.

Museum Guard:
(1, 5, 6)
Cyprien: (( Let's use the old man as a shield, Arkain. ))

Museum Guard:
Dodge that!

Renege:
"Oh, shit - Myst! Hang in there!"

Hezit8:
"Izzis...really the time to be havin' a gab at her?"

Arkain:
Sadly she can't counter these

Arkain:
(1, 6)

Cyprien:
(1, 5, 6)

Arkain:
But doesn't need to! She dodges well enough, the only ones that hit either of you barely tingle.

Guy Looking At Table:
Guy hits the fuckin deck, "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS MUSEUM??"

Hezit8:
Tate hops down, not wanting to waste any more time

Hezit8:
(2, 3, 6)

Hezit8:
He does however waste some health ow
Hezit8 lost 12 Health!

Hezit8:
"Don't worry, I'm comin' for ya!"

Myst:
"What?? N-no! It's okay! Really!"

Cyprien:
Cy gives Arkain a thumbs up and motions to the door leading out of this room, "Watch out 4 rcjony!"

Hezit8:
"Er, come again?"

Hezit8:
@cy obv

Myst:
"Just...I'll get down on my own!" why did i have to wear a skirt

Cyprien:
He then quickly realizes that in his haste he was one key over, "*exhibit"

Renege:
nice

Arkain:
She checks, and smirks, "Who's the one that got hit again? :P"

Journalist Girl:
The journalist keeps taking pictures, meaning everyone in here is gonna take a penalty to shit due to the flashing lights

Hezit8:
"Well, if yer sure!" He seems a little disappointed, knowing she was wearing a skirt. "In that case..."

Hezit8:
He flings his board down and hops on, jumping up to the machines! let's see if this works out any better for him

Cyprien:
"=_=;"

Hezit8:
(2, 4, 5, 6)

Renege:
hop on Pomp

Hezit8:
Well, he makes it UP there - onto the machine Pomp was just shaking the shit out of. He's can barely keep his balance, let along get any higher! "Aaiiii....Oh, this was a mistake..."

Cyprien:
Cy makes a move towards the exit!

Shades:
"Tell me about it!"

Shades:
(1, 2, 5)

Shades:
Now SHADES is in peril! Just barely clinging onto the air condition, he tries to overextend and spray some of the tag!

Shades:
(2)

Shades:
He gets basically nowhere, but hey, it's, uh, something.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
So, did you knock over a shelf
Cyprien: (( Nah, figured it would be better use of our energy to run ))

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
The statue goes to smakk Arkain over the head!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
(1, 2, 2, 6)

Arkain:
She just ducks this time!

Arkain:
(2, 5)

Renege:

Minneapolis Jones:
abandoning all pretense of the rules, Minneapolis runs through the exhibit, only to be smacked away by Hideyoshi

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
"FIGHT ONLY AFTER CREATING CONDITIONS FOR VICTORY!"
Renege: (( this ability just changes into whatever that Harry Potter thing was called where they can travel between fireplaces ))
Renege: (( except for refrigerators ))

Myst:
floo powder
Renege: (( yea that ))

Myst:
Myst tries swinging back and forth to build up momentum!
Renege: (( Air conditioner is close enough to a refrigerator right ))

Myst:
(2, 4, 6, 6)

Myst:
prolley why
Renege: (( gonna replant my ass above Shades ))

Myst:
Building up enough speed, she flings herself backward, hoping to land on the other vending machines! The fuck else is she gonna try
Unresolved value "dice".

Myst:
(2, 5, 6, 6)

Renege:
"A-aaah!! What? How??"

Myst:
She flies over Tate, landing safely on the machine, "I---I'm alive! Th-that worked???"

Hezit8:
"Nice! Oh, and good form, too."

Cyprien:
"Huh, looks like that thing might be helping us accidentally...that works for me."

Shades:
"AGH, JESUS, where the hell did you come from?!"

Shades:

Shades:
Shades loses his grip on reality, and the AC, and tumbles onto the machine below!

Myst:

Shades:
"FUCKIN' GHOST KIIIIIDS" He screams as he bounces off the vending machine

Arkain:
Arkain creeps forward as well, but something seems off...

Arkain:
Toward the rear wall, the door unlatches

Arkain:
A cold fog sinks into the room from behind the lock

Renege:
Renee pulls her legs up to her chest and trembles. "W-what's wrong with refrigerators in this world...??"

Pomp:
"Alright, this has gone on long enough!" He UPPERCUTS THROUGH the roof of the vending machine he'd punched out earlier!

Pomp:
(1, 2, 2, 5, 6)

Hezit8:
(3, 4, 5, 5, 6)

Hezit8:
But Tate rolls outta the way, tucking his board into himself! "Not today, mate! I'm ready for that shit now!"

Bangs:
Bangs laughs at her fallen komrade, skating past and onto the machines on this side

Bangs:
(2, 3, 5, 6)

Bangs:
(1, 1, 4)
Thrice:
And now back to Night At the Museum (2006)
Thrice:
The door slowly creaks open as a new siren blares, this one with an...oddly familiar tune. You'd not heard this before moving to Colorado, but it seems almost ubiquitous there. Among the siren is a voice, which sings out, "ACTIVATING ADVANCED SECURITY PROTOCOL A.L."

Abe Lincoln:
NOW PLAYING Saints Row IV - Hail To The Chief https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w759jDLtmX0
Cyprien: (( Goddammit is it Robo-Lincoln again ))
Renege: (( >:[ ))

Abe Lincoln:
Abe Lincoln bursts through the door, flinging it off its hinges, and straight at you!

Abe Lincoln:

Abe Lincoln:

Cyprien: (( I assume that was an attack roll? :X ))

Journalist Girl:
Yeah

Journalist Girl:
"Holy crapbaskets! Is that President Lincoln?!" She snaps another picture, "This is gonna make headlines - Honest Abe Emancipates The Hell Out Of Punk Kids!"

Arkain:
If I could talk I would call bullshit on this entire ordeal

Abe Lincoln:
You can dodge it or even try tro PUNCH IT BACK but that'd be risky

Cyprien:
(2, 3, 5)

Hezit8:
Tate starts to clamber up the wall!

Renege:
"You two better get off those vending machines, he's just going to beat them up more!" Renee calls down from her perch. "The other half of the street is totally open!"

Cyprien:
(3, 6)

Hezit8:
"..wait, when the hell'd you get up there?!"

Hezit8:
So a 6?

Hezit8:

Cyprien: (( Apparently :( ))

Renege:
"'bout 10 seconds ago, thank you, I am very concerned!"

Hezit8:
Cy takes 18 damage, and - the sapphire is knocked out of his hand!
Cyprien: (( Not my fault you rolled insanely high for that one ))

Hezit8:
NOT MINE EITHER
Cyprien: (( Nigga just buss in, not even rolling init or anything throwing 15's around like it ain't shit ))

Hezit8:
"That case, gimme a lift, uh, Myst, right?"

Hezit8:
"I'll climb up there!"

Hezit8:
(1, 1, 2, 5, 6)

Hezit8:

Hezit8:
even with Myst's help

Renege:
"Not a whole lot of room on this AC unit!"

Myst:
"Wa-wait, I'm not read--ooff"

Myst:
He only manages to get to the other side of the machine, not spidermanning any further

Myst:
"So...sorry..."

Hezit8:
"Nah, that was me bad...Shoulda waited!"

Arkain:
Arkain sees the sapphire fall, and starts hatching a plan

Cyprien:
Cy gets knocked back by the 16th president of the United States, sending the sapphire flying, "Son of a...ngh...!"

Renege: (( I can't tell if that's a wire or a pipe ))

Myst:
"Hah...hah..." Myst tries to keep her eyes off the BLOODY, MANGLED CORPSE of Shades on the ground, "I- uh...Ooohh..." Fidgeting around, she closes her eyes and jumps off the machine, not trusting herself to climb right now
Cyprien: (( Where'd the sapphire go ))

Myst:
The one going across is a wire, the one going up is a pipe

Myst:
It rolled away to the right
Renege: (( okay, that seeeems doable, then. ))

Renege:
"Colors, good enough - right. U-up we go, then..."

Myst:
(3, 3, 4, 6)

Bangs:

Myst:
(1, 2, 3, 6, 6)

Myst:
Myst dodges, and Bangs loses her balance, falling down to the ground!

Thrice:
Is Cy gon' move

Cyprien:
Cy runs into the next room, "I'll let you hold onto it for the moment then, not over until it's over!"

Abe Lincoln:
Lincoln's done with you, then, and goes after the sapphire, barreling down the old man and nearly crashing into the journalist!"

Abe Lincoln:
He attempts to apprehend the punk who's still got she eye on the prize! By emancipating her fuckin' ankles

Abe Lincoln:

Arkain lost 21 Health!
Cyprien: (( You see, this is making up for the other battle...but it's against the wrong person :V ))

Arkain:
Oof! The deaf girl lets out a little cry, but she rallies herself back up - but since she took over half her health in one shot, she suffered a Complication - in this case, her legs are banged up. She'll take a -1 die penalty to everything she does for a while

Arkain:
Which AIN'T GREAT but at least there are no attacks of opportunity here

Arkain:
She scoops up the fuckin' sapphire and tries to bail outta here as fast as she fookin can

Arkain:
which ain't that fast

Arkain:
She goes for Abe's ankles with her whip!

Arkain:

After trying and failing to find a safe route, he just fuckin' gives up and decides to take to the ground!

Hezit8:
"I'll go for these over here! You two take those!"

Hezit8:
"...hmmm... Wonder if that guy was off his rocker or not? Let's test out 'is advice..."
Cyprien: (( How about these stands? They bolted down? ))

Thsi girl is hunkered down in between exhibits in tears, "PLease, c-can anyone explain what's going on??"
Cyprien: (( Can we also do the delay our turn thing in this game? ))

Museum Goer:
You can reroll your initiative at the start of the round, but must keep whatever you rolled

Renege:
"Ha... ha! Got 'em!" She takes a minute to catch her breath. "How bout that, Black Arm Gang, we've as good as won!'

Pomp:
"We're the Black Bells, thanks! And it ain't over yet!"

Pomp:
"How long til' this is over, Shades?"

Shades:

Pomp:

Arkain lost 4 Health!

Arkain:
she basically just spent endurance to hang onto the fuckin' thing

Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Statue):
monkey screech

Arkain:
She limps through the door, one arm wrapped aorund the bigass gem, panting

Arkain:
and wondering why Cy is still like right here
Cyprien: (( I thought it wasn't big ))

Arkain:
Oh

Arkain:
I don't...think it's supposed to be Medium

Arkain:

Bangs:

Pomp:
Pomp gives Bangs a hand up the damn machine

Pomp:

Pomp:
which just barely enables her to climb up

Bangs:
"Thanks, big guy! Where would be without you??"

Pomp:
He glances toward Shades, "On the street."

Bangs:
(1, 4, 6)

Cyprien:
"Not gonna leave you behind; besides, you've got my sapphire. Lemme see that spear real quick!"

Bangs:
With her previous roll, that finishes this up!

Arkain:
She hands it over without arguing though wonders if you're boutta Hendrix her

Museum Goer:
i just wanted to nerdily study history guys

Hezit8:
"Let's try n get one more for the road, eh?"
Cyprien: (( Okay, I want to jam the door shut with the spear, so that if they pull on it it won't open without some force. What would be applicable for this ))

Hezit8:
Tate hops on his board and grinds across the rail, jumping toward the overhang on the other side of the street! It's uh, quite the long shot

Hezit8:
Dexterous and Smart out of what you have, I think

Hezit8:
maybe Vigorous
Cyprien: (( Well they're all the same :V ))
Hezit8: (( they all apply lol ))
Hezit8: (( So it's +3 to the roll total ))

Hezit8:
(1, 1, 4)

Hezit8:
Oh god I am the worst skateman

Hezit8:
He grinds the rail easy, but can't find it in him to actually attempt the jump! "Uh...sorry, I don't think I can handle that, after all! We still win, right??"

Renege:
maybe

Renege:

Renege:
I can't use modifiers on this like an attack right, just Endurance

Cyprien:
Cy lodges the spear in the door handle, in an attempt to hold off their pursuers!

Cyprien:

Renege:

Abe Lincoln:

Abe Lincoln:

Abe Lincoln:

Abe Lincoln:

Seeing the door flex time after time, she decides to get the hell away after all

Arkain:
From there I think you're good to get into the next room

Shades:
"Put in some work, Pomp! Clean these assholes' clocks! Hurry up!"

Pomp:
"Shades, we lost. No point in lyin' bout it."

Pompous Middle Aged Man:
The middle aged man has his arms spread wide, a maniacal look on his face, "OH NO YOU DON'T! I knew it! I KNEW IT! You punks were up to no good! Well, let me tell you - the cops'll be here any second! All I have to do is hold you for a moment, and your ass'll spend the rest of your life in a jail cell!"

Shades:
"Oh come ON! If we clean this up before the boss catches wind, we can still---" Shades is interrupted by a heel to the chest, "Oooff..."

Renege:
o man are we gonna see da buss

"Catch wind? I saw the whole storm, Melvin." She grinds her heel in, "And I must say, I don't appreciate your dishonesty."

Renege:
"Hoo, the boss lady herself shows up..."

Shades:
"M-ma'am you can't use my name lik--"

Renege:
Renee is quite eager to watch him get his comeuppance. "Give him one for me, while you're at it."

Cyprien:
"This is...really embarrassing..." Cy just walks past the dude. After robotic presidents and massive guards, old douchey guy ain't shit.

Black Belle:
"Consider your words with more care, Melvin." She looks you all over, from Renee on the rooftop to the group on the ground. Her silky voice entangles you, each smooth word like a cord pulled around your throat, "I'm to understand my underlings wagered the Viper Pavillion on your little game?" It's not a question so much as a confirmation.

Pompous Middle Aged Man:
"H-hey!! You can't do that! You can't ignore me!"

Abe Lincoln:
(2, 3, 4, 6, 6)

Abe Lincoln:
Honest Abe LOG CABINS that fuckin' door to pieces, and charges in! ...to an empty room!

Cyprien:
He grabs his bike, "You're not my dad and you're not a cop, you can't do shit."

Museum Goer:
pls don't hurt me honest abe

Renege:
poor guy

Arkain:
Arkain barrels through and whips this asshole out of her way!

Renege:
Renee nods, smirking. "You are. And we're to understand that we won that wager?"

Hezit8:
Tate whistles, "What a looker, huh?""

Pompous Middle Aged Man:
"YOU CAN'T DOOOOO THAAAAT"

Minneapolis Jones:
at least my whip got put to good use somewhere
Cyprien: (( It stopped the MVP of Death, Robo Abe ))

Abe Lincoln:
Most Violent President
Renege: (( perfect ))

Renege:
"It's a nice looking place. We'll take good care of it."

Arkain:
Kokaine looks down at the gem in her hand, grinning
Cyprien: (( Can I dex check to slight of hand it and take like one step out the door to win? ))
Renege: (( give her a high five ))

Black Belle:
Chewing her fingernails, she grinds her heel into Melvin with each word, "Yes. I'm. Sure. YOU. WILL."

Shades:
"MA'AM PLEASE IT WASN'T EVEN MY IDEA"

Black Belle:
Yeah yo ucan do that MT

Black Belle:
Quick would also apply
Cyprien: (( So what am I adding to the regular two dice roll? ))
Cyprien: (( Because I feel like I'm doing it wrong lol ))

Black Belle:
1 die from Quick, 1 from Dexterous

Black Belle:
and if you wanna try to distract her in some other way like idk whippin ur dick out that'd probably add to it too

Cyprien:
"Need a hand out? Your legs look all banged up from Robo Lincoln... :("

Black Belle:
"Well! We must sow even after a bad harvest. You were victorious here, and I shan't dispute that. You can have the old club."

Arkain:
She sends a message, smirking at you, "Why're you looking at my legs? ;)"
Renege: (( Frisky... ))

Hezit8:
"Hah! Yes! We won!"

Hezit8:
"Ah, I feel like England just won the world cup!"

Renege:
"Let me get down there so we can celebrate! No beds up here this time..."

Myst:
"W-wow...I can't believe it... W-we actually won..."

Cyprien:
"Haha, we're not out of this yet, lemme help you out. We don't wanna get caught right now."

Arkain:
"Sure. Oh, but be careful. I'll have you know, I'm very dainty."

Cyprien:
"I'm not sure if I buy that ;P"

Renege:
"Never done this before, but I feel like this is the part where we wish each other well?" Renee asks of Black Belle. "We do appreciate the gesture. I wish we had something to offer in return, but - that'll come in time, huh?"

Cyprien:
Cy helps the girl out, but he's actually being a sneaky boi, he quickly tries to snatch the sapphire away!
Cyprien: (( Do I get any bonus for my deceit? :V ))

Black Belle:
Yeah, you can add Charismatic to it too

Cyprien:
(1, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6)
Cyprien: (( Oh bloody 'ell. ))

Cyprien:

Renege: (( dice are dumb and should feel dumb. ))

Black Belle:
you didn't drain Endurance for that one, did you

Black Belle:
cause 7 is how many you should've rolled in the first place
Cyprien: (( Oh ))

Black Belle:
2+1+1+3
Cyprien: (( Oh right, I am charismatic :V ))

Black Belle:
"Oh, no need - life without friends is death without a witness, after all." You're not sure you buy this lady's silky venom, or her proverbs, but hey, a face that pretty wouldn't lie, right? "I am confident I shall see repayment in due time. Is that not right, Melvin?"

Shades:
there is a hole in my chest

Arkain:
(2, 2)

Renege:
tbh Melvin has the best seat in the house rn

Arkain:
You snatch the gem out of her palms with barely any trouble! She wasn't expecting that one. "!"

Renege:
"Well, in that case-!" She returns to her fellow delinquents for a round of high-fives. "We did it, guys! Let your teams know, let's get this place set up!"

Cyprien:
Cy smiles at the girl, holding the sapphire at arms length, "I can't just give it to you ;) C'mon, I wasn't lying about the help though, let's get outta here."

Hezit8:
"Oh god, right, my team... Ya wouldn't 'appen to have any tea, wouldja? Maybe that'll calm her ti--her nerves..."

Arkain:
he just SHOVES HER OUT THE DOOR now

Renege:
Renee just reaches deadass through a vending machine and yanks out a tea. "Yeah, I got it."

Karet Kake:
Outside, the other two members of Team K are waiting, "Oi, quit flirtin' and get a move on, you two!"

Karet Kake:
"I know HALF of you can hear those sirens!"

Renege:
"Catch, Myst! You did good."

Myst:
(1, 2, 5)

Myst:
She fumbles it a few times in her shock, but eventually catches it, "W-wh-what'd you just do??"

Cyprien:
Cy clears the entrance to the museum, sapphire in one hand, supporting Arkain on his shoulder while pulling his bike along, "So...does that mean the points are mine?"

Karet Kake:
"Eurgh...yeah, it does."

Arkain:
Arkain shrugs, looking kinda sheepish, and taps away, "Sorry. I wasn't paying enough attention. Mea culpa."

Renege:
"Fridges are fake. All of them. Tell your friends."

Black Belle:
Belle sneers, "Oh-ho...Fascinating. Well, then. Melvin! Pick yourself off the ground, your position is piteous. We're making our exit."

Renege:
"Thought it was just the one at her place..."

Bangs:
"Yes ma'am! Bye bye, punks~!"

Karet Kake:
"Alright...you're in no position to be riding around, so hop on with Luna! You'd better be able to keep up, kid, I don't want any of us getting caught! You know what my dad'd say about this if he found out??"

Cyprien:
"Cool!" He casually tosses the sapphire to KK Slide-her over there. "You ladies can hang onto this, pawn it if you want. The points are what mattered, but that was a lot of fun!" he laughs and smiles at the group before him. He taps the buttons on his phone, "I guess that's how good I am, hopefully to your liking?"

Renege:
"Later." Considering, Renee reaches for another drink, and tosses it at Pomp. "Hey, I like the enthusiasm - but I'm more of a Dr. Pepper girl. Pepsi doesn't sit well with me. Remember that for next time, alright?"

Lunasee:
Luna pushes her glasses up, presumably so that nobody can tell if she passes out while riding, "hang on, tight, Arky..."

Karet Kake:
"Huh?? You sure? ...well, not like I know where the black market is 'round here..."

Arkain:
"Way to rub it in! I guess I'd say you're good enough. Get back to me when you can take on Honest Abe. :P"
Renege: (( ohhh fuck, I thought the time shift had already happened. ))
Renege: (( it had not. ))
Cyprien: (( Sameeeeee...I was wondering why my alarm said I had to be up in less than eight hours lol ))

Lunasee:
"Haaaaaawawahhh...How're we 'sposhed to catch up..."

Lunasee:
Oh god THAT'S what hapepned

Lunasee:
i was like how the fuck did I lose a whole-ass hour

Renege:
how do you keep finding new Best Girls anyway

Renege:
note: a best girl is any girl with short->shoulder length blonde hair
Cyprien: (( Love Magnet: You are one of the most romantically eligible guys or girls around. At Level 1, many are attracted to you and may hit on you from time to time, but few are interested in a serious relationship. At Level 2, you often have a number of groupies who fawn over you, as well as several other more serious (yet possibly unwanted) relationships that appear regularly. ))

Lunasee:
Well

Lunasee:
it IS still late winter

Lunasee:
it's probably around February

Lunasee:

Hezit8:
"yea go ahead u can come on in"

Cyprien:
"Haha, I cannot tell a lie, I wouldn't want to mess with that machine again!" Cy looks over his shoulder, "Either way, yeah, we should head out, and fast! It was a pleasure, ladies!"
Cyprien: (( And I think that's about a good place to stop ))

Renege:

Hezit8:
I didn't expect that session to take that long

Hezit8:
But I guess we did have an intermission

Hezit8:

Renege:

Renege:

Renege:

Cyprien:

Hezit8:

Cyprien:
That was a sneaky play tho, stealing that shit away at the finish line

Renege:
You have betrayed her for the last time...

Karet Kake:

Renege:

Cyprien:

Hezit8:

Hezit8:

Abe Lincoln:

Cyprien:
I'm never returning to that museum.

Abe Lincoln:

Renege:
