PR-1035: (( I have fooded ))

Pizzahell:
omg

Pizzahell:
Anyway on this dreadfully late day, it seems this Li Jing fellow, after BLOWING HER STRAIGHT TO KINGDOM COME, has still managed to get away somehow.

Pizzahell:
Didn't really catch if you were going after her tho

PR-1035:
You bet I am
PR-1035: (( What was it like in here, again? Kind of an arcade-looking place? ))

Pizzahell:
The room your standing in leads to a long winding hallway that says "MOTORCYCLE RACEWAY."....but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of motorcycles around, save for a few defunct ones crashed onto the side
PR-1035: (( Oh ))

Pizzahell:
If by arcade place, you mean the Pizzahell control room, then yea, that's the other room around here

PR-1035:
Which way did she go?
Rika Ishinomori: (( One quick second, I have a phone call. ))
PR-1035: (( Looks like I'm in the spotlight for the moment anyhow ))

Pizzahell:
you couldn't really tell yourself, but your intuition probably states that going down the motorcycle path is probably an easier method of getting away than hiding in a rather closed in control room

Pizzahell:
you do still hear a good amount of engine noises coming from the cycle track for what its worth

PR-1035:
Sounds dangerous.

PR-1035:
I wasn't planning on HIDING, anyway.

PR-1035:
10 ducks into the control room, and locks the door behind him, okay maybe I was planning on hiding by technicality

PR-1035:
"Alright, big guy, let's get you moving..." He looks around for anything resembling the actual control station

Pizzahell:
oh, well I meant Jing might be trying to get away, but that works too

PR-1035:
Oh well yeah 10 isn't going to be able to chase her down and win in a fair fight in his condition

Pizzahell:
Anyway, you don't really see much in the way of overly durable psychopaths in the control center, but you do see a bunch of complicated levers and buttons. Seems this system is quite a few years old

PR-1035:
"...holy shit, alright. Where do I even..." He looks around the mess of levers and buttons for anything that resembles either an "ON" or "DISPLAY"

Nuiguruma:
"So, do you consider this a win on your end? I mean, she seems to have disappeared from my radar scope...so she must be pretty sore!"
tirkaroKujo:
The control systems take a while to boot up, and a sea of pop up windows prompt you to update your goddamn software already, but there's no time for dat my guy...
Rika Ishinomori: (( Okay, back. ))
tirkaroKujo:
The screen runs a system called Gordo-Soft, and if you have any real prior skills in computing, it should prove easy enough to navigate through....but your interrupted by a slew of text messages while trying to do the things you do
tirkaroKujo:
you can choose to just ignore them if u wanna

Rika Ishinomori:
"A win..? Like I have said before..I do not particularly care about the rules of these assasin engagements...I just wish to leave this place...I will take what I can get..."

PR-1035:
Do I have a phone?
tirkaroKujo:
No, text messages on the screen

PR-1035:
oh

PR-1035:
My computer skills are probably a bit below average tbh

Nuiguruma:
"What you can get, huh? Well, I can tell your potential isn't gonna last long at this rate. Better hope nobody tries ambushing you anytime soon!"

PR-1035:
"Damn it, where's the thing I'm supposed to talk into?!" And yeah I guess I'll read the messages as they pop up

Pizzahell:
The text messages come from a man named Walburton Gordo, whose name seems at least partially familiar to you from your time in this hellscape; the GORDO name was engraved on a few of the animatronics as well as some signs lying around. They seem to be a desperate plea of some kind.

Rika Ishinomori:
"...I do not need it to last beyond this night...as long as we get out by then...

Rika Ishinomori:
"

Pizzahell:
GORDO: Whatever you do, please stop. You know not what you're doing. Please, this isn't what I lived for.

PR-1035:
"...huh." 10 scrolls through the messages while waiting for a third progress bar to load

Nuiguruma:
"Yes hmm...this night...oh, wait, what's this? Seems my radar scope is finally acting up agai-" Nui's handheld radar begins to beep like crazy, and out of complete nowhere, the radar then falls to the ground.

Nuiguruma:
fukkit i'll copypaste that after MT gets back

Pizzahell:
GORDO: Please, why must you make me continue suffering like this? I know you are not...one of them. Please...they're keeping me captured...I'm trapped.

Nuiguruma:
"Yes hmm...this night...oh, wait, what's this? Seems my radar scope is finally acting up agai-" Nui's handheld radar begins to beep like crazy, and out of complete nowhere, the radar then falls to the ground.

Nuiguruma:
...along with the rest of Nui's hand!
MarthTrinity:
"...?!"

Nuiguruma:
"....Hmm.....huh.....this is....inconvenient..."

Rika Ishinomori:
But pretend I had a face there!

Nuiguruma:
"I mean, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Nui for the first time shows an actual look of genuine pain as she clutches her bleeding stump
Rika Ishinomori: (( Nui's always be losin limbs. ))

PR-1035:
10 breaks into a cold sweat. "Argh... come on! Not more creepy bullshit!"

PR-1035:
He chickenpecks the words "who are you" into the chatbox

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
Jing stands at the top of the Henry Hippo statue, its eyes now glowing bright red, and holds a rather busted old six shooter in her hands, the only piece of junk she could really find in these trying times. "Don't insult me like that ever AGAIN!"
Rika Ishinomori: (( She -SHOT- her hand off?! ))

Pizzahell:
GORDO: My name is Walburton Gordo....I'm being held hostage...in maintainence. I think. I want nothing more than to redeem myself....I wanted to redeem myself...but not like this.

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
Yep, kind of an average gun, but Li Jing PSYCHO FORME somehow made the bullet explode into some kind of shrapnel upon contact with Nuiguruma's flesh, crudely disintegrating the lady's wrist

Nuiguruma:
"AAAUugh! God...!! It Hurts! FUCK! It hurts so much!"

Rika Ishinomori:
"How can she still be standing...?!"

Henry Hippo:
But before you can even do anything about it, Henry Hippo gets off from its mighty throne and slooowwly raises itself up.

PR-1035:
|look old man i dont have much time ill help you if i can but i need to get this bear moving|

Henry Hippo:
and then bangs its knuckles together like some kind of jaeger. It appears the hungry hungry hippo can now move on its own, with Jing at least possessing some sort of balance to easily stand atop it without falling off
Rika Ishinomori: (( Welp, this one's all you, agi. ))

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"I've trained my body and exposed myself to things that'd drive even a hardened Assassin to the brink of madness. Right now my body is sustained purely on my raw energy and emotion. It hurts more than you could possibly imagine."

Rika Ishinomori:
"You have no one to blame for these emotions but yourself, Jing! We just wanted to be free of this place..! You forced us into action!"

Nuiguruma:
"Heh...who would have thought things would come to this..."

Pizzahell:
The software controlling pizzahell boots up and its kind of a doozy. Each limb is controlled on its own, and it requires a good deal of hand-eye coordination to get it to work properly.

PR-1035:
>it's QWOP

PR-1035:
fuuuck

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
Jing points her shoddy six shooter at Rika. "You know? I'm not even going to disagree with you. I sincerely didn't expect you'd get this far."

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"Ideally you should have just been dead by the first attraction. But no..."

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"Listen. Being an assassin is my entire life. It's what i've lived for. My dreams and ambitions...your very existence is nothing compared to them!"

PR-1035:
"Argh... why does it have to be so complex?! Damn it, I'll figure something out!"

Rika Ishinomori:
"Then your existence is a very sad one! If this is all you have, if ending the lives of other people is your entire reason for living, then maybe you do not deserve that right to live any longer...!" Rika spits back, more than a little pissed off at Jing's insistance on living as well as her sick world view.

PR-1035:
"How do I hundred hand slap?"
Rika Ishinomori: (( Mash Punch ))

Nuiguruma:
"Heh...well, if this is how I must die...I'm glad it was at the hands of my best friend. Hehe...hands."

PR-1035:
10 powers on Pizzahell.

Pizzahell:
-Weebeeewooop!- The gigant Pizzabear powers on, its eyes glowing a radiant light as it switches to ACTION mode.

PR-1035:
Is there a mic?

PR-1035:
I really hope there's a mic.

PR-1035:
AND A DISPLAY TOO.

Pizzahell:
While its in ACTION mode, the bear will act using its own AI, which as you can tell is pretty erratic and dangerous. It appears to be the default mode you fought earlier.

Pizzahell:
There's a mic you can talk into, it has two differing modes; PUPPET mode and COMMAND mode

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"To me, those who don't deserve to live are the ones who lack any degree of potential to make a difference. They're nothing more than pests. They're nothing but brainless subspecies...and I'll never be one of them!"

PR-1035:
"Hahaha! Yeah, whoo! Pizza Bear is LIVE!" 10's voice echoes across the castle grounds from the head of Pizza Bear

Rika Ishinomori:
"He got it working?!"

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"All of them, they'll all kill themselves one way or another, even if I do nothing! I'm just saving them fr- Okay, who the hell is doing that." Li Jing abruptly cuts off from dramatic speech mode

Pizzahell:
"PIZZA GOOD!"

PR-1035:
"Hell yeah pizza good!"
Rika Ishinomori: (( Chec Mix good ))

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"Ugh....is that really...I actually should have guessed. This is gonna be a pain."

PR-1035:
10 grabs the Right Arm lever, and swings it upwards from its default position- or attempts to, since it's locked in place due to not being in the right mode

Henry Hippo:
"Hippo hippo! No unauthorized use of equipment allowed, hippo!" The hallow mechanical hippo shouts as it throws a mighty right hook right into Pizza Bear's dumb face

PR-1035:
"Argh, why's it stuck?! Come on, Pizza Bear!"

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"This is a joke. Well, I mean, there's a giant hippo fighting a giant bear, so it was kinda already silly, but somehow this guy's lack of basic equipment skill is something else..." Li Jing jumps down from the mighty hippo face.

PR-1035:
"OH! Puppet! There we go!" 10 flips the switch to the mid position, then flings forward with both arms. "PIZZA HUG!"

Rika Ishinomori:
"I am not sure why you continue on...you have nothing left, no honor, no pride, you just hurt someone who considered you their best friend..." Rika shakes her head as she stares at Jing, "You are a shell of a person, truly."

Pizzahell:
"PIZZA HUG!" The hellbeast grapples the mighty hippo in retaliation, forming a great mechanical bearhug

Henry Hippo:
But Henry aint havin none of that 2 2 5
PR-1035: (( shiiiit, do I really have to roll a 1 ))

Henry Hippo:
ye

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"Even if you claim I have none of those things, its undeniable that I still have the only thing htat matters. That's the ability to fight. And keep on fighting. Honor does nothing but hold one back. You don't get to my level on such outdated concepts."

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"So fine. I'll appease to you this once and stop the distractions and tricks. But only if you can beat me at this fight...one last time."

PR-1035:
10 cringes through the pain, having forgotten from the brief respite about his shoulder's condition. "Argh... come on, you big hippo, you're coming down!" Regardless, the left arm has considerably less force beside it, turning it more into a "Pizza hold onto really awkwardly potentially falling over"

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
sure get ur 3 rolls

Pizzahell:
Pizzabear somehow gains an amazing second wind and grabs the metallic hippo by its side! But it can't really hold its own very well with the Hippo's sheer weight, so it uses every one of its mechanical systems to bring the hippo down, sending both of the titans crashing into the castle walls. KAAASHOOOOOM!

PR-1035:
"PIZZA BEAR, NOO!"

Pizzahell:
"This is all I can do! Thank you for your continued service, and I look forward to your next visit!"

Rika Ishinomori:
"And what happens when all this is done? And you have no hatred to drive you? Your bodu will perish..."

PR-1035:
10 yanks his lanyard off, leaving the system in Puppet mode, and ties the two Arm levers in place. "Fine, but if that's all you can do, then you're going to keep it up!"

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
Li Jing takes out a knife and darts forward, her face barely visible at a certain point. "When this is done? I'll be a god. Now, I've wasted enough time on you...."

Henry Hippo:
Henry Hippo however is more resiliant than that. "UNAUTHORIZED USER DETECTED. EXTERMINATION PROCESS IMMINENT....HIPPO."

Henry Hippo:
Even with Pizza Fucking Shit still grabbing onto it, he can still just barely drag itself along fast enough to totally hose you once he gets to your position

PR-1035:
...and while he's at it, yanks forward the Left Leg lever, causing Pizza Bear to kick at one of the pillars, breaking it off and sending it hurtling at the three women in the center. "Duck!"

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
Pyscho Jing leaps up into the air and tosses a barrage of knives from her sleeves, a surefire way to skewer any target, no matter what they're made of. 1 5

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:

PR-1035:

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"Jiiii...." The pillar completely blocks off any way for Li Jing to get a hit in, and the resulting debris and dust clouds her vision. "Fuck...I should have paid more attention to my surroundings..."

Rika Ishinomori:
With her attack blocked, Rika leaps up at the distracted Jing and goes for her throat!

Nuiguruma:
"*Cough cough* Didn't think that would have effected much...Jing must be slowing down...poor girl"

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"Giiii!" Li Jing however immediately notices Rika the instance she leaps out, and in exchange tries to snatch Rika's arm, intending to grapple her to the floor. 3 5 2

Rika Ishinomori:
Rika, in turn, tries to yank Jing in close! She uses her free hand to press the muzzle of her pistol into Jing's gut before pulling the trigger several times in quick succession

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
sure get yo 3 rolls

PR-1035:
there's little else I can BS to help you out atm

Henry Hippo:
The Hippo grows closer...and closer...

PR-1035:

Li Jing narrowly dodges just about everything you wrote up there, and grabs you by the arm, tossing you onto the ground. "Did you even have any potential? I must have been imagining it. "

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
"You may have caught me off-guard before, but I won't make this same mistake again."

PR-1035:
He checks the fire escape map for anything labeled "maintenance"

PR-1035:
"If it's not on the way, you're shit out of luck, old man."

Nuiguruma:
"Wait!" Nui yells out to Li Jing as she brings out her pistol. "Please, just stop this. The lady here had a point, y'know?" You can muster up enough strength to use up the last of your potential. You may now either choose to wait this out or immediately act up to do what must be done.
MarthTrinity: (( I must do what must be done : | ))

Pizzahell:
The Maintenance room is hidden somewhere....it doesn't seem to be on the map, so it must not be really common knowledge.
Rika Ishinomori: (( brb in one moment ))

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
1 6 2 Li Jing shoots Nuiguruma in her side, not even wanting to start any sort of conversation. "I don't wanna hear it. You of all people should know this."

PR-1035:
god DAMN your ROLLS

PR-1035:
I swear 90% of rolls have needed to be 1.

PR-1035:
"...sorry." 10 runs out of the control room and down the hallway to where the motorcycles be
Rika Ishinomori: (( Yeah, I need to use the POTENTIAL :@ ))

Pizzahell:
the motorcycle room still doesn't have any real functional motorcycles for use, but there's now a few hooligans with bikes stopping to talk shit to eachother

PR-1035:
Ah, shit.
Rika Ishinomori: (( was that my cue to attempt something or were you going to do something/ ))

Pizzahell:
Oh yea thats still your cue to possibly do something, anything
PR-1035: (( And me I can't really interact with your situation at all rn ))
Rika Ishinomori: (( Oh noooo...looks like I need to believe in myself... ))

PR-1035:
10 sneaks past the crazy hooligans and their wacky shenanigans

Rika Ishinomori:
Rika hits the ground hard. She winces in pain as she looks up at the craze Jing shooting her former BFF in the side. Her killer instinct kicks in as she realizes it's do or die at this point, with things sort of leaning towards the latter. Channeling the last of her energy into one last ditch attempt, Rika lunges at the at-least-somewhat-distracted Jing, attempting to sink her knife into her side
Rika Ishinomori: (( I'm sry if I die here agi : ))
Rika Ishinomori: (( :( ))

PR-1035:
you might

Pizzahell:
You can easily sneak by them so long as you don't make too much of a scene. However, there's still quite a ways to go making this path on foot.
Rika Ishinomori: (( Make a scene. ))

PR-1035:
"Hey, assholes!" 10's had just about enough of this whole situation by now

Li Jing PSYCHO FORME:
As Li Jing takes the shot, Rika takes advantage of her distracted state and stabs her directly into the ribs! "GaaaaaaaAAAH!" She coughs up blood and falls over, tears running out of her eyes. The sheer rush was enough to make her assuredness snap.

Pizzahell:
U wot m8? A bunch of the thugs notice you, and begin rolling around towards your skinny ass to check what's up

PR-1035:
"My girl's about to be crushed by a giant hippo outside of this castle! Which one of you is going to give me your bike so I can go kick its ass?!"

Pizzahell:
The group of thugs turn towards eachother for a moment and begin to burst out in laughter. "That's just another fuckin' tuesday. Now fuck off befo-" but before he could finish his setence, a GIANT HIPPO ARM busts through the walls and punches the dude in the back, sending him flying onto the wall looking like bloody modern art.

Rika Ishinomori:
Rika rips the knife out of Jing's gut before plunging it into her neck, "Die!' she screams as she repeatedly thrusts the blade into her throat over and over again, tears streaming down her eyes at this point. Eventually, once she's realized that the job is done, Rika drops the knife to the ground and stares down at the bloody mess below her, "Why....why did you have to drive me to this...?" she sputters out between heaving breaths and sobs. She clutches her head with blood soaked hands, "WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU NOT JUST LET US GO?!"

Henry Hippo:
"UNAUTHORIZED PERSONELL DETECTED, HIPPO."

PR-1035:
"Aw, son of a bitch!" 10 raises his SMG, considers firing it, but decides to save the ammo. "Nevermind, guess it's after me!"
Rika Ishinomori: (( Also aww, you called me your gurl. ))
Rika Ishinomori: (( Also I'm soaked in blood, just a fun reminder if you make it out of there alive. ))
PR-1035: (( Blood comes off sometimes. ))

Li Jing:
"You...." Li Jing can only barely manage a couple breaths, what with having her damn throat cut open and stuff. "Heheh....heheheh. Hahahah." She stares at you with a blank, empty grin, almost as if she just kinda accepted everything.

PR-1035:
So did it punch his bike, too?

Nuiguruma:
"She's gone now..." Nuiguruma grunts while clutching onto her side. "I may not be able to understand her exact words, but I feel like this is something she wanted. Becoming a high ranked assassin like her leaves you with....a few lasting scars. And insecurities."

Nuiguruma:
"At some point, she would have much rather died than to live with defeat. She was a real prodigy, y'know?"

Rika Ishinomori:
Rika doesn't respond to Nui's comments...she can't respond, she can't even form words at this point, everything just comes up blank. She simply stares down at Jing's mangled throat, her haunting empty facial expression staring directly into her.

Henry Hippo:
Yeah, but it only just kinda grazed it, so its still in working condition

PR-1035:
"Thanks for the volunteer!" 10 hops on the bike, flips off the hippo and the remaining thugs in turn, and zooms his scootie outta there.

Li Jing:
With the last of her strength, Li Jing pulls out something from her pocket. It appears to be a crumpled up sheet of paper, now stained with blood. "Heh...." She chuckles out before staying fixed on her expression once again. "It....hurts...end it."

Rika Ishinomori:
Rika picks up the blade once more and slashes it across Jing's throat, (hopefully) putting her out of her misery. She throws the knife off to the side and stares with wide eyed horror at her, well, second, by this point, victim.
Rika Ishinomori: (( Forgot she killed the truck driver, but that was also pure adrenaline. ))

Nuiguruma:
"Well....I guess the title of 'girl who came closest to ending this entire shindig' has now been passed onto you. Dunno how you should take this knowledge"

Henry Hippo:
your scooter easily manages to outpace the hippo, and soon you land around the entryway of the castle. You can tell because the wall is still freshly busted open from before

Rika Ishinomori:
Rika doesn't reply once more, she just slowly shakes her head and reaches for whatever the hell Jing took out of her pocket.

Li Jing:
Li Jing's dead body now simply clutches a piece of paper. It details a set of visual instructions leading to a place labeled "MANTENANCE ROOM" It fits in well enough with some of the maps around the park anyway.

Nuiguruma:
"Yeah it was...quite the process to obtain that. Your problem now though...heheh- *COUGH*" Nui begins to spit up blood. "Yeah, this isn't really the best place to start bleeding out...."
PR-1035: (( Sorry Thrice called me downstairs ))
Rika Ishinomori: (( I WANNA SEE THAT X THROUGH DAT BITCH ))

PR-1035:
10 skids to a stop in front of the crowd. "Rika!"
Rika Ishinomori: (( Yeaaaaah... ))

Li Jing:
i mean ok, i broke the X rule before tho, so...(scb)
Rika Ishinomori: (( I WILL BREAK YOUR X RULE :@ ))

Rika Ishinomori:
Rika looks up as she hears Ten call out her name. As if snapped back to her old self, she rushes up to him and throws her bloody arms around his neck, sobbing onto his shoulder as he's on a motorcycle and it's probably a pretty awkwardly positioned hug from the side.

PR-1035:
"Whoa-! Shit, that's not YOUR blood is it? Are you alright?"

Rika Ishinomori:
She sniffles slightly and points to Nui, "J-...Jing shot Nui...then she was going to kill me as well...I-...I had to..."
Rika Ishinomori: (( also damn, I assume Nui's side is like blown out with how crazy her gun was ))

PR-1035:
"Hey, hey, you're fine now, calm down... we're almost done here, we can almost go home... damn it, Nui got shot? Just how bad - oh."

Nuiguruma:
Nui just smiles and shrugs off any concern."Eh, don't worry about me. If I'm not long for this world, so be it. Just kinda wish I could have spoken to my friend here for one last time while not quite as...emotionally swept."

Rika Ishinomori:
"S-...she had this..." Rika squeaks out, handing him the crumpled bloody note.

PR-1035:
"Right... still, sorry it had to go like that. Eh? What's this note?"

PR-1035:
10 goes pale as soon as he sees the words "Maintenance room." "Ohh.... oh, shit. And where does this...?" He tries to piece it together with what he remembers of the map from earlier

PR-1035:
"Rika, you've done great so far, I'm proud of you. Get on. We have one more stop to make."

Nuiguruma:
So session is dying, may as well take this time to make note that the expulsion of Potential has now made it so that Rika is now at her pre-potentialning state. Her body is now pretty sore and pained, but its not quite enough to cripple her too much. Could prove to be a pain later on though...

Rika Ishinomori:
Rika nods, "I...I think it is gone...I do not think I will be as useful anymore..." She climbs onto the back of the motorcycle, "Ten I...am scared..."
Rika Ishinomori: (( So next time will be our EXCITING CONCLUSION? : O ))

PR-1035:
"Yeah. So am I." 10 breathes heavily. "I'll take it from here. We're going to see the guy behind all this."

Nuiguruma:
So you ride off into the sunset, hopefully avoiding assassins long enough to make it to the secret entryway to the maintenance room. Turns out it's right behind the stage of that Drew Carey ASMR attraction nobody really liked and just kinda made everyone uncomfortable after they got done with it

Nuiguruma:
and yea next is THE END OF EVERYTHING

Nuiguruma:
hopefully
