[Dangan] Free Association: Part One. Day 6: "Graduation Day"

[Kennifer]

Terezi

> has her sword ready to attack any of their foes that get in range, but doesn't move much until they do in order to conserve her strength.

[Florien]

Warning shot: [4]. You just wasted a bullet. Though they paused their fire for a second to listen to you, they don't seem interested in passing up the clear chance to fire.

[2], [4] Vs [10], [5].

You avoid getting shot, but you drop your gun in your fancy dodgeroll, and resultantly only manage to fire one shot back during the dodge roll. [4], [9]. It wasn't easy to aim while rolling.

The third police cruiser arrives, this one from the actual station, and four officers get out, surrounding the apartment building on all sides. They make no move to get in, but they could shoot into the lower windows or prevent you from leaving the block.

Seven ducks back behind the wall to avoid getting shot more. [6]. The officers ignore him for now. They seem to have picked up on Five as the greater threat.

Meanwhile, Terezi is ready for anyone who approaches. None of the officers are approaching just yet. But she is very ready to launch an attack of... [8] at the first foe who approaches.

[Magolor]

"..."

Lynne doesn't have much to do being so badly injured, but she gets an idea...

> crawl to an officer's dead body and pretend to be a m o n g them; alternatively, if she gets freaking shot at, use the cop as a body shield

[Florien]

Lynne drags herself over to the bodies of a few officers, bleeding badly as she is, and pretends to be dead so as not to be shot more.[10]

She's very good at it. Very good at it indeed.

...

Oh, maybe that was too much blood lost.

Lynne has been killed.

Three for me, two for you.

[PointMaid]

...

Dammit. Let's try that again. Want to put down your weapons?

> Pick that gun back up and let's try that again...

[Florien]

Pick up the gun while two guns are pointed at you? SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN! HELL YEAH! [8]:

Holy fuck it worked, you reverse-dodgerolled and picked up your gun in the process! The officers seem startled enough to not fire this round...

[PointMaid]

You heard me, right? Better yet, join us and show us where your cowardly leader is hiding, shivering in their boots...

> ...Yeah, make that offier, and defend your allies if you need to.

[Florien]

Intimidate the officers. [9]: Your intimidation works... to some extent. They don't seem interested in joining you, but at least they still aren't shooting... for now.

"What leader? You killed Seko, she was the leader of the base. You killed Johnson, he was the other, And Clearday is at the precinct, and I don't think you want to go there! Now, drop your weapon ma'am, and no one else has to get hurt, okay?"

[Kennifer]

V13NS 1C1 COM3 G3T M3 1 D4R3 YOU

Terezi was trying to sound tough and ready and not like she was injured.

[PointMaid]

Five laughs. It might be a hysterical laugh, but...

...Yeah, you saw me do that, didn't you? So you know what I'm capable of. If you're leaderless, follow me, then, before the Feds get here. You idiots. Clearday is going to be the first one against the wall when the... the revolution comes? Yeah, maybe that, as they say. I'm talking help us get Lindsey and that dude in Green. We're taking those corrupt lying bastards down. You do know they're corrupt criminal bastards and Lindsey was the Catkin Killer, right? I was nearly gassed for helping with the takedown of Lindsey we'd planned a few days ago.

[The Map Maker]

>Tend to your wounds.

[Florien]

The police outside still have their guns trained on the entrances, but they haven't been intimidated yet. The two survivors inside however... [8] drop their weapons.

"Look Ma'am, Lindsey, maybe. I didn't entirely agree with Seko on the release of that maniac. But who's this guy in green? Like, Lindsey wears that jacket, but you already mentioned them. But I..."

Meanwhile, Seven tries to fix up his injuries enough to function. [8]: His injuries are fixed enough that he can stand and do things.

[Subparman]

Kaikoku finally manages to get to where the others are aaaaaand is immediately greeted by all the carnage.

...Better late than never, as I always say.

>... No, you don't always say that. How the hell did you just miss all of this? Guess the least you can do is pitch in - you probably still have that sniper rifle from that time with Anaheim, don't you, so you'd best take his advice from beyond the grave and be less hilariously incompetent by heading up to a vantage point. Keep an eye on the police outside just in case things go horribly wrong.

[PointMaid]

...You tell me who they are. All I know is they're dressing in green and they're not Lindsey, and they're after us.

[Florien]

Kaikoku heads up the office tower, the highest accessible point, and scans the town with the scope. [1]: OH SHIT OOPS

Kaikoku drops the sniper rifle off the building. Butterfingers.

Meanwhile, at the apartment standoff...

"...What? I can't... WHO?!" The officer who's done most of the talking seems very confused.

That's when the officers outside decide to attack, throwing in a flashbang that they happened to have.

Runner Five, The two officers, and B-Sha are blinded and deafened, and French Terezi, already being blind, is deafened and effectively blinded as the smell of smoke from the blast hits her.

Seven evades the flash and bang, and is fine.

[PointMaid]

[*Cough*]

...Seriously, tell your colleagues out there to stand down and help us hunt down these criminals who are gunning for us! They're going to get us all killed, you included.

[PointMaid]

[OOC: ...Sorry, guys, I'm gonna have to sleep]

[Zanreo]

"Agh..." B-Sha gets out of the broken mech only to be suddenly blinded and deafened. Even with her lowered senses, she tries running away from them a bit, hiding somewhere...

[Florien]

B-Sha runs and hides. [10]. B-Sha is very well hidden. Very well hidden indeed. Hiding right next to Lindsey, who's on block 4 right now. Hiding right in the line of sight of Lindsey. Hiding from everyone else, but not Lindsey.

Lindsey swings around, jabbing the bayonet on their shotgun at B-Sha. [1]. It's a miss, and B-Sha dodges back as Lindsey trips over a loose bit of pavement.

Meanwhile, Runner Five, Terezi, Seven, and the officers outside the apartment still in a standoff. The outside officers don't move in, apparently unwilling to see the two inside killed as hostages.

[Subparman]

>...Right, so forget that whole bit about being less incompetent then. Er, well, now how to help with the whole reason you came up here dashed to bits... How tall is this building, exactly? Could your rifle perhaps have, oh, you don't know, possibly survived the fall? No?

>If not, guess you're gonna have to ransack this place for something else to arm yourself with.

[Zanreo]

"Welp, this wasn't the best place to hide..." B-sha takes the opportunity to deliver some quick, powerful kicks to Lindsey before finding another place to hide

[Florien]

The building is very tall... [9]: But the gun was surprisingly good at surviving that drop. It landed in some decorative shrubs. You take the elevator and get back to the top just fine.

B-Sha attempts to kick Lindsey to aid in escape... [1]. B-Sha slips and falls when trained spy and career killer Lindsey grabs her leg. Lindsey staggers to their feet, and slashes at her with the Bayonet. [7], [3]. +4 to Lindsey. It hits, and opens an artery. It's a survivable bleed, but maybe not a good idea to fight while this is happening.

[Subparman]

>You barely know what's going on but if you can see Lindsey from here, try and pick them off when you get a good shot at it.

[Zanreo]

"Owww! Gah..." Dammit, she was bleeding. This wasn't good... B-Sha tries her best to escape, struggling to get away from Lindsey's grip.

[Florien]

[7]: Lindsey's indoors, and not near a window. You can't see them, but you can pick out two of the four officers, and there's a guy in incredibly visible green clothes running around the outer perimeter of the blocks.

[9]: B-Sha somehow manages to worm her way out, badly wounded that she is. Lindsey doesn't bother pursuing far.
