You slowly lower yourself to the ground telling him as you do so that there is something desperately wrong with you and you need to go to the hospital.

"Yeah, ok we'll stop by the hospital," he says as he pulls a set of cuffs and roughly puts them on you a second later, "but after that you're going into a cell." He gestures for you to start walking so that he'll be behind you.

Stepping out into the corridor, you see peeking out of doorways the various faces of your neighbors, children and adults; some look curious (mostly the children), some look confused, most look pissed off after having been woken up in the middle of the night.

The hallway stretches to your left and right. At the end of left part of the hallway is a hallway, to the right the emergency stairwell. The officer tells you to head for the elevator.

'Who, this guy? His name's Charles.' Stan gets out of the car on one side, and Charles the other. 'The two of you should get to know each other better, really. Your lives might depend on it later on, who knows?'

'But Abercrombie... do you want me to call you Abercrombie? Shall I just use Abby? What I've got here is a bit of a small-scale job for you.' Charles opens the boot, and you see something long wrapped inside a rug. 'There's a pusher who frequents this part of town, who owes me some money. Monthly payments, to ward off bad luck and poor business. He hasn't paid for three months straight, though, so I'm going to need you to help me... convince him.'

'You'll have to find him first, of course, but I trust you can do that. Once you do...' Charles unwraps the rugs. 'Use these on him. Be creative.'

You look into the boot and take what's inside.

You get a Baseball Bat, a pair of Kitchen Knives, and a Hacksaw.

'Any questions? Or shall I go now?'

Queries/Acions?

>>106608
"Do I have to use all three, or can I just use whatever I like?"

>>106608

'Well, I'm just giving you options. You'll find him, yeah?'

Stan goes off, leaving you standing in the street with your weapons. Then you realise there's also an envelope inside the rug.

>>106795
Check it out.

>>106890

You tear the envelope open. A small photo of someone falls out. The man looks very much the worse for wear, eyes and face like a junkie. Behind the photo: 'Terry McCall, Objective.'

You think this over. You could probably find someone you know who knows this Terry, given the number of junkie friends you have. But it won't be easy to persuade those thick-headed people...

Action?

Oooor, you could throw in a random bit once in a while. Maybe change your pattern to a 4-turn, and then switch between the 4-turn sets, some 5-turn sets, and your usual 3-turn sets.

Improvisation is always a good thing too.

alternately, you could try to catch him off guard with a different opening attack entirely. It may devolve into a turning match anyway, but if you can catch him off balance at the start, you will have won a potent mental edge.

My brother has taken advantage of my patterns before, and I wonder if this match shall end the same as so many others. Other times I have tried to outsmart him, to alter my patterns, but he has been able to keep up each time, every time.

>>102309
...But perhaps if I were to expand my repertoire? Even though our mandibles are made for turning and flipping our foes, that does not mean it is all we can do: I shall abandon my normal methods, for the moment at least, and attempt to upset Blind Guardian's focus.

As he starts to trundle towards me, his mandibles held wide, I charge forward, slamming into one of the widely held mouth-parts of Blind Guardian, spinning his body about, surprise faintly emitting from his form.

>>102026
I cannot relent now, not when I have unsettled him, even if only just: I must continue, attempt to press this momentary advantage as much as I can. I start off with an inverted form of my normal attack pattern. grabbing his head and sharply wrenching RIGHT RIGHT LEFT, the final turn sending my brother skittering across the tree trunk. I race after him, unwilling to let this moment of strength pass so quickly. As I reach him, he manages to latch his mandibles about me as I do the same to him.

I return to my normal rotation pattern, hoping to catch him off guard. The first turn catches him unprepared, his head wrenching to the left.... but his uncertainty seems to lesson. My followup turn to the right is met with some resistance, and I smell his uncertainty vanish. When I attempt to turn him to the left again, I find my efforts turned upon me, as Blind Guardian pulls and twists at m

If you are truly faster than your brother, now is the time to press your advantage. Get to your feet and close with him before he has a chance to recover himself. Flip yourself up with a flick of your wing shell if you are the sort of beetle capable of such motions. In any event, you must close the gap and grasp your opponent quickly, by his mandibles, or anything else which presents itself, and turn for all you are worth.

Left Left Left Left RIGHT

With any luck, he will be too shaken to catch your first few turns, but he will expect that in your haste you have fallen back on your old turn pattern. He will expect the third to be to the right, and then you will have him.

Press our advantage, we're faster. We may not be able to get to him before he rights himself but we should be able to reach him before he regains his bearings. When we reach him attempt to flip him with a solid RIGHT LEFT RIGHT.

I think you should stay. If the scary ones are the only ones here to greet her then maybe she will think she has no... you know it would be easier to say if you would say what she means to you. But I'm gonna assume friend for now.

I mean you wouldn't want to be brought here and only meet with the scary ones would you?

>I say stay and greet your... well you never said what kind of relationship you have with her
We have not met before now. There is not a relationship between us now or before now, but maybe there will be one after now. But she is special. She needs to stay here, or everything will be ruined.

There will be many moments when she will try to escape here. But the Owner will meet her far after now, and if she is not here then can't Owner meet home go want need home go home home home home.

>>104836
Um, I see? Where is your home?

>>104836
Go home? Who, you, or her, or the owner?

Well, it seems like we're supposed to keep her from escaping? Right now the best option would probably be to stay here and meet her when she comes, and try to explain the importance of her meeting the Owner.

[Meta: Can Adrias actually hear us, like Tyler, or are we just suggestions as with Llena, or something else? Is there anything you can tell us about his time-viewing powers or whatever, like you did with Cora's summoning?]

>>104836
Well then you want to make a good first impression. We can't let her think there are nothing but vicious crazy people here.

Who knows, maybe if she grows to like you she will be willing to stay here for your sake. And if not... well it's alot easier to sabotage someones escape attempts if you're close to them.

Taking a deep breath, he resists the urge to smash the box. Turning, being the better minion he moves back into the main hall. As he returns slowly to Karpolk’s summoning chamber he can’t help but imagine how great it would of felt. That feeble wood would have been no match for Sumomonnom’s might, broken orbs and splitters would be all that was left from his rampage. It will surely be written into history as the world’s most one-sided fight, and how manly it was crushing the orbs of the enemy under his mighty footpad. Victorious he would give the wreckage the finger left.
Sadly that imagining only lasted the short return trip to the summoning room, there in the dank ritual ready room stood Karpolk holding the crying succubus, which apparently after years of ‘service’ to the warlock has made it lose its edge. Or, even better, the sheer might of Sumomonnom has broken its proud spirit and thus reduced it to tears. Excellent. Karpolk can surely see now that Sumononnom is more than worthy to be his minion, after all, he just imagined the shit out of smashing that crate apart.
Karpolk didn’t see it that way, grabbing Sumomonnom by the head and using all his warlock strength, hurled Sumomonnom out the tower’s window. Pack and all.

As I feel myself draw before the great star, but this does not feel like a star. I cannot help but turn my gaze, peeling away, I am not allowed here.
My essence pulls away, facing the stars behind me once more.
I can just as easily disobey that response. And head back in. But I cannot recall why I am not allowed there.

i agree

damn guys, our basic worker ants can use simple tools and understand drama. When will our intelligence be enough?

You know who is deserving of some upgrades? the Death on Six Legs. Also, it would be nice to be able to create male ants. Can we please make them a normal strain and start giving them some upgrades? Our elite warriors are growing less elite with each encounter.

I disagree with the point into intelligence, but I suppose I'm late to that party. Since the intellect points are already spent I'd like to upgrade the They Might Be Giants. If we're to fight the other queen and her minions we'll need some serious firepower if we want to go toe to toe with her and her gargantuan children.

Jacob is - was a childhood friend of mine. As I recall, he liked to build things. We hung out a lot when we were really young, but we started growing distant when I moved farther away in middle school. I stopped visiting him altogether a few months after we graduated middle school and began attending different high schools, so I'm not sure what he considers me anymore.

I arrive at the house to find the door ajar and the house darkened. Not quite fully awake, my subconscious urges me to nudge the door and I do so.

Do I smell... gasoline?

You awalk over to the wundow and peer out. You are on the third floor. The fire has spread to the second and fourth floors of this building. Directly below you is a tent left over from sports day, likely filled with equipment, and two cars.

"Hmmm, I could probably punch through the wall if i charge with ENERGY SYPHON first... but I don't really want to take out any more supports..."

The air crackles and the gauntlets engage. The room becomes significantly colder and darker as the gauntlets begin to glow a deep red.

ENERGY RELEASE!

Your fist accelerates rapidly and collides with the wall. The wall explodes outwards amidst a cloud of flame and bright light forming a makeshift bridge over the flaming debris.

You quickly scoop up Mr. Addams and rush over the fallen wall, before it is also consumed by the fire, and down the stairs.

Outside you see the night watchman staring dumbly at the flaming building.

As a King I have the support of the people, however as a puppet I have no way to use that support for my own benefit.

The only servants I have are those abominable children of the metal lord. And the fact that they scour the entire world acting as soldiers and spies makes my job of taking out 4 that much more difficult.
