Close Circle

[PointMaid]

Snakeweed is grumbling.

Look, I'm still not the only short person here. And, honestly... someone taller could have gotten the idea to use the stilts just so they could burn them to try to get rid of the evidence or something.

...And why would I poison my cookies? I'm eating them myself. And have been giving them out since yesterday, and nobody's died from them.

[PointMaid]

...Besides, I wasn't the one going all grandiose and pushing for that execution. Sure, I thought it was a plausible theory, I'd thought of it myself in fact, and I wanted that extra cash...

[Kennifer]

Kim pauses a moment, thinking back on the voting… that was all a bit of a blur because of all the fire and shit, but… it was Soseki's deduction, right?

Her own roommate. Well, fuck.

"…Ah jeez, the guy with all those theories is my roommate. Think Soseki might be a cop, or just not as good as he wants us to think? Either way, I guess I should watch my back… Oh and I'd take one of those too if you've still got any."

[PointMaid]

...One of mine? Look, seriously. They're not poisoned. And yes, you can have one.

[Kennifer]

"Well, I'd meant the gummies, but... jeez, benefit of the doubt and all. Plus I'm kinda more worried about my roommate anyway. So, sure, I'll take one. Thanks!"

[PointMaid]

Snakeweed nodded.

[PointMaid]

(and passed Kim a cookie)

[Kennifer]

Kim looked the cookie over, then took a bite.

"Mmm. Yeah, these still taste good. Thanks!"

She still looked a bit concerned... well, until the pipeweed started to kick in.

CHALLENGE

Now it's time to up our resources. Can't have too much money these days, especially after how you all destroyed the third floor. I'm getting some repair guys to fix all that right now. But I also need the funds for other business "transactions" that are needed. No, we're not robbing some banks. But you will be hitting up the jewelry store Penny's in Belmont Heights. Just go in, take as many diamonds, gold necklaces, what-have-you as you can, and go to Shady Woods and meet my friend Slick Eddie. He'll pay a fortune for all the jewelry. Just don't get the hostages get in the way or call the police.

1. Recruit some of my underlings to join you all. Be a lot easier than robbing someone solo after all.
2. Make your way to the Penny's jewelry store in Belmont Heights.
3. Smash all the display cases you can and take all the jewelry and diamonds you can.
4. Make sure the hostages stay put and to not try anything funny.
5. Evade the authorities and head up to Shady Woods and meet up with Slick Eddie and exchange the goods for cash and head back to my mansion.

You have until Sunday, August 29th at 6PM CST to complete the challenge.

1. Recruit some of my underlings to join you all. Be a lot easier than robbing someone solo after all.

Time for some clever propaganda! Sure, aggrandizing himself like he does His Majesty is a bit odd of a feeling for Escargoon, but he figures the underlings are dumb and influencable enough to believe anything.

2. Make your way to the Penny's jewelry store in Belmont Heights.

Hey, remember that pickup truck from yesterday? Take that but with fake-yet-convincing license plates slapped on. Also hide anyone who doesn't fit inside the truck under a tarp in the flatbed. Park some ways away from Penny's so the truck can't be caught on the store's security cameras. Hell, while he's at it Escargoon's just going to casually use a jammer he built on the fly to make all the security cameras in the general area malfunction.

3. Smash all the display case you can and take all the jewelry and diamonds you can.

Escargoon'll let the underlings do that for him. He'd rather hide out near the truck, pretending to be a rando taking a smoke break.

4. Make sure the hostages stay put and to not try anything funny.

If things go to plan, the underlings already have guns and knives on them. If not, Escargoon's willing to be called in to threaten with some explosives.

5. Evade the authorities and head up to Shady Woods and meet up with Slick Eddie and exchange the goods for cash and head back to my mansion.

All stolen items are to be hidden with the guys under the tarp on the flatbed. Then, drive to Slick Eddie's place without breaking any traffic laws in order to not get the attention of any police officers trying to fill their daily speeding ticket quota. The same is done after the deals have been made and the crew is heading back to the mansion.

Soseki promises tea and Shakespeare (or, as the Japanese call him, “Sao”) manuscripts, apparently forgetting this isn't Britain.

2. Make your way to the Penny's jewelry store in Belmont Heights.
Soseki decides to bike to the jewelry store. Unfortunately, his bike is a piece of crap that gets tangled in a truck's wheel arches... a truck that goes to Penny's jewelry store in Belmont Heights. Phew!

3. Smash all the display cases you can and take all the jewelry and diamonds you can.
Soseki decides to steal with style, punctuating the smashing and taking of diamonds with an almost gleeful dance routine.
Soseki's Stealing Sapphires from the Store!

4. Make sure the hostages stay put and to not try anything funny.
Soseki, after accidentally tripping on a loose tile in the floor, ends up in a T-pose position, therefore asserting dominance upon the hostages and ensuring they don't get to leave. He locks the door for good measure.

5. Evade the authorities and head up to Shady Woods and meet up with Slick Eddie and exchange the goods for cash and head back to my mansion.
...Soseki accidentally locked himself in the store, too. Shit. He hurls himself out the window, parks a nearby bike against it hastily to prevent the hostages leaving, then very calmly and decisively... slips on a puddle and knocks himself out. When he comes to, he's at Slick Eddie's, because Slick Eddie was just passing by to get a cinnamon bun from the bakery, and thus is the transaction allowed to occur.

[Kennifer]

1. Recruit some of my underlings to join you all. Be a lot easier than robbing someone solo after all.

Okay, time to take out that phone and do a group text. Try a whole Ocean's Whatever thing and get as many contacts as she can. Tell everyone to meet up at couple blocks away from Penny's to stay discreet. Then grab a couple hammers out of storage for bashing up the cases, as well as a gun to keep those hostages and employees in line.

2. Make your way to the Penny's jewelry store in Belmont Heights.

Time to "borrow" a nondescript car again. Park in the lot a couple blocks away from Penny's Jewelry, meet up with the contacts and take the last couple blocks on foot.

3. Smash all the display cases you can and take all the jewelry and diamonds you can.

STOP! IT'S HAMMER TIME! SMASH! BASH! Stuff shit in pockets!

4. Make sure the hostages stay put and to not try anything funny.

Yeah, that's what the gun is for. Wave it around, fire a shot into the ceiling if need be to show them I mean BUSINESS.

5. Evade the authorities and head up to Shady Woods and meet up with Slick Eddie and exchange the goods for cash and head back to my mansion.

Hoof it back to the car texting Slick Eddie to expect me, then take the back roads to Shady Woods. Might take a little longer if I'm indirect with it but hopefully it'll shake any authorities. Make the exchange, then take the back roads to the mansion.

Escargoon has rolled a 10, 4, 9, 10 and 5 for a total of 38 points.

1.      Your propaganda works very well, maybe a little too well. They're literally all willing to die for you. They all believe you're their lord and savior and even start the Church of Escargoon. As much as you like this worship, business comes first, so off to the jewelry store you go.

2.      Unfortunately, it's too many people you brought along, so you'd have to wait for them while you park. It takes a bit but they get them. And the jammer works, but it's only for a few minutes. What you do in these few minutes count.

3.      The underlings have done an excellent job robbing the store. Not only do they have all the jewelry and gold they can find, they even emptied the cash registers and safes and even mugged everyone inside the store for all their wallets. You have earned quite a load. A lot you can do with cash and stolen credit cards.

4.      Unfortunately, your followers get too carried away and all the customers and clerks inside get slaughtered needlessly. When the cops show up to try and take them down, the followers kill them all too. They come up to you and ask “What now, master?”

5.      You go to Shady Woods and do the exchange, even though Slick Eddie is a bit unnerved by how fervent your followers are. But other than that, you head back to the mansion with quite the load!

Snakeweed grins. She tells them they can have a cut of distributing her Pipeweed racket in this city if they help her. Then she gives them each a cookie for encouragement. And advertising.

2. Make your way to the Penny's jewelry store in Belmont Heights.

...You can, ah, drive, right? You know the way to this 'Penny's' in Belmont Heights? They're going to the same place, might as well get the underlings help to drive.

3. Smash all the display case you can and take all the jewelry and diamonds you can.

She leads the underlings in a little ploy. Come into the jewelry store as customers, looking to get engagement rings and jewelry to win back their loves. Then hold the clerks and any customers at gunpoint. She'll pose as one of their kids, and at the right time go to the front of the store and close the shades and turn the sign to 'closed'. Then she can smash the case at leisure, with a piece of fabric protecting her hands, and get ALL the JEWELRY! Her precious now. All hers.

4. Make sure the hostages stay put and to not try anything funny.

...Well, that's what the underlings with guns are there for. But some duct tape taping them to the chairs and over their mouths can't hurt.

5. Evade the authorities and head up to Shady Woods and meet up with Slick Eddie and exchange the goods for cash and head back to my mansion.

Hopefully the shades and sign kept too much attention from being drawn. Is that silent alarm tripped? Ah, well. Snakeweed grabs a huge backpack from one of the hostages and dumps whatever's in there out, shovels the loot in, and blends into the crowd pretending to be a kid walking home from school. She instructs the underlings to grab briefcases, shovel what they can in, pretend they're going home from work, and meet her back at the car so they can drive to Shady Woods and exchange the jewelry for cash.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Pizzabug takes a moment to sober up from the edibles—it'd probably be way harder for them to stay focused if they a) were still stoned and b)

still had compound eyesI gave them the headcanon that their eyes turn into bug-like compound eyes when they're high earlier just because it was funny.

. Once they're clean and back on their feet, however, they get straight to work.]

1. Recruit some of my underlings to join you all. Be a lot easier than robbing someone solo after all.

>well, first off, where are the underlings? can't exactly recruit them if you can't find them. anyways, find a big band of the underlings and bargain with 'em—you're still in your Big Smoke getup, so offering them an endless edible or other drug supply in exchange for assisting you with the job will do the trick

2. Make your way to the Penny's jewelry store in Belmont Heights.

> swap into a Tinkerbell cosplay and cover yourself (you shouldn't need it right now, but later...) all the underlings you're able to recruit with the pixie dust. once you show them how to get the hang of it, fly en masse to Belmont Heights, looking for the jewelry store in question—shouldn't be too hard to find, right?

3. Smash all the display case you can and take all the jewelry and diamonds you can.

> crash in through the windows/doors, change into a Luigi cosplay, and suck up as much of the jewelry and gems into your Poltergust G-00 as you can! if you happen to reach max capacity with the vacuum, well, that's what your hands are for! those overalls have pockets, right?

4. Make sure the hostages stay put and to not try anything funny.

> a neat little tidbit of trivia about the Poltergust is that it can fire fire, ice, or water if you suck up enough ghosts with the respective elemental alignment. your cosplay already has that taken care of, thank god—that means if the hostages try to get away or do anything ridiculous, you can freeze them in place

5. Evade the authorities and head up to Shady Woods and meet up with Slick Eddie and exchange the goods for cash and head back to my mansion.

> and this is where covering yourself in pixie dust earlier comes in handy. that means you can still fly even when you're not in the Tinkerbell cosplay! gather as many of your minions as you can and fly together to Shady Woods, high enough to avoid being spotted by cops but low enough to be able to see Slick Eddie. then, meet up with Eddie, empty your pockets and the Poltergust of all the jewelry you managed to collect, take the cash, and fly back to the mansion, quietly humming a certain jingle as you make your way back

1.      Even though they're not British, this works surprisingly pretty well as the goons you hire are very classy, intellectual types with great love of Shakespeare and you all plan a nice tea party after all is said and done.

2.      While you do hurt yourself a bit after you get tangled up in the truck, it's not too bad though as you arrive to Penny's ready to go.

3.      Unfortunately, you can't break any of the glass for shit as it's really strong and sturdy. And your dancing is off too; you come across as a drunk having a seizure. You just take one ring that the customer is about to buy since the clerk had brought it out.

4.      And it's funny how your tripping into a T-position works, as you scared everyone inside the store shitless. They really think they're all going to die. I don't understand how timid these people are, but you really put the fear of God into them.

5.      You throw yourself out the window and as you put the bike in front of the door, the people inside still get very afraid. They don't even want to leave the place. You slid on the puddle and knock yourself out. And when you recover, there's Slick Eddie! After he eats his cinnamon bun, you give him the one ring and you'd be amazed how much it's worth a fortune. A trillion dollars! You giddily head off to the mansion with the biggest load yet.

1.      You were only able to get a few people as not too many wanted to work with a crime rookie like you. But the people you did get are desperate for work. So maybe it won't go too badly? You also find an old hammer and some very old pistol. You're afraid of it falling apart, but maybe it will work?

2.      Once you arrived in Belmont Heights, looks like a lot of the parking spaces are taken and the closest one you find is like literally a mile away. You settle for it and have to walk a mile before you meet your people and you all head into the store.

3.      Can't touch this! Do do do do…. Doooooooooo doooooooooo Can't touch this! Do do do do…. Doooooooooo doooooooooo Can't touch this! You manage to get yourself quite a load of jewelry and gold as you stuff them in the bags. Didn't do too badly.

4.      It might be an old gun, but they all know you mean business. You even fire a shot too for good measure. They all know not to mess with the tattoo lady.

5.      You have to again walk a mile and you have a few scares of police officers, but you not suspicious enough for them to take note of you and you make your way to Slick Eddie and make the exchange. Pretty simple, really.

1.      The people you recruit are very interested in your Pipeweed. So much so, they make you the number 1 supplier in all of Crunch City. If you get any phone calls in the future, you'll find you'll have promise in a new career of a drug lord. They even take the cookies too and like them so much, they want more, but you remind them, work comes first.

2.      Thankfully the Pipeweed cookies don't impare them that much and they drive you to the store, no problem.

3.      But once you all arrive inside the store, things take a huge nosedive. The Pipeweed kicks in and your crew get all high and giggly. They slump to the ground, taking your cookies against your will and get more high off them. And when you try for the hold-up, the customers and clerks just laugh at you and tell you how cute you are. The clerk even takes the gun away from you saying “Kids shouldn't play with guns; it's dangerous.”

4.      The underlings are still high as fuck off the cookies to be of any use. And the customers are now pinching your cheeks. You are just way too adorable to be taken seriously.

5.      And that still doesn't go well. You do push the silent alarm by accident, and the cops are on the way. The underlings are still baked out of their minds. And when the cops arrive, they all think it's a false alarm. But the clerk hands you over to the cops, saying you're a lost little girl. Feeling defeated, you tell them where Carmello's mansion is and drive you back home. Carmello thanks the cops from bringing back his “little girl”, even if she came back empty-handed. Maybe the cookies weren't such a good idea after all...

Pizzabug has rolled a 9, 5, 7, 8 and 6 for a total of 35 points.

1.      You've hit pay dirt. You've found the best possible and most dangerous group known in Crunch City. You promise them if they work for you, you'll supply them plenty of drugs in addition to two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda. They are greatly intrigued by your drugs and fast food offer, you set yourself up with quite the awesome crew!

2.      Your pixie dust works all right with some of them, but it's not really needed as they're already intrigued by your original offer. Nevertheless, you and some of them fly over to the jewelry store while the rest of them meet you all over there.

3.      You all arrive in style and you've sucked up everything in your Poltergust G-00. You've scored quite a good load and should net you a ton.

4.      And everyone inside is intimidated by your cosplay, so they won't bother to touch you. But still you freeze one random customer anyway to show you mean business. They all got the message to not fuck with you.

5.      The ones you taught to fly escort you to Slick Eddies, while the rest meet you all over there. You do the exchange. But they demand you take them out to get them their number 9s, number 6s with extra dip and other foods before you head back. But you oblige, and you all arrive back, filled up and richer.

5. Evade the authorities and head up to Shady Woods and meet up with Slick Eddie and exchange the goods for cash and head back to my mansion.

Tuck the bags away into dragon form, get back in the vans as a half-elf, and nyooooooooom to the meeting point!

Loren has rolled a 1, 7, 7, 4 and 10 for a total of 29 points.

1.      Oh, yeah, asking THAT out loud was such a good idea, especially with cops nearby. They arrest you and take you down to the police department for even suggesting that. It's a good thing you decided to use your one phone call to Carmello and he was more than generous to bail you out. Maybe you want to be a little more discreet next time?

2.      While unfortunately you're alone, but you do at least find an unmarked van for you and you head over there to the jewelry store.

3.      And thankfully you do have your sledgehammer and some bags. You smash your way through the cases, filling up quite well on jewelry and picked yourself up quite the load!

4.      You turn into your dragon form to intimidate people. Worked on a few, but mostly everyone is too bold and they go after you (one of them even has a sword). You go “Screw this, I'm outta here” and head off.

5.      You drive the van and you crash your way through Slick Eddie's wall like you're the Kool-Aid Man. He's not too happy about it, but he does the transaction, though he does dock you some of it to fix the damages.
