Lucky 13

[Kennifer]

Vriska would try to help and rip up some sheets for bandages or something to patch herself up then attack Nerva herself but lolyeah she's not gonna be able to do that.

Maybe she'd underestimated this guy. Or just not expected to be caught off guard and not dodge in time, whatever. Probably should've tried stealing his luck, but... that would hopefully run out soon enough anyway, not even she can stay that lucky forever and she doubted Nerva had her abilities to steal more. Besides, she thought, he ran away like an asshole and probably wasn't within range for that. However, she had another ability that even worked across planets (so working partway across an IKEA shouldn't be a problem, right?)

For now though, she will focus what may well be her last bit of strength in a probably last ditch attempt to

[Dookie]

>Aim a random piece of furniture at Nerva and run for it. (snook)

You throw a cup at Nerva and miss.

>Keep looking for treatment options. There's usually first aid kits near fire extinguishers, check around there. And pick up any additional fire extinguishers for future use. (Florien)

Bingo. You find a first aid kit, and apply it to Vriska.

> looks for something to fix her damag - um, injuries (Zan)

No luck.

> Patch self up with the medkit from earlier. (Neb)

You patch youself up.

> If this succeeds: see what can be done for anyone else, starting with Lucky. (Neb)

Lucky's coughing a bit, but you can't find anything to help.

> Look for another rock for your sling (Point)

No luck.

[Dookie]

> Use her power to make Nerva fall asleep so that Eight or someone can MAKE HIM PAY. (Ken)

You aren't focused enough to get him asleep, but you get him a little bit tired.

Point tries to hit Nerva with a stick!

3 strength + 2 luck = 5 power

5 power > 3 dodge

Dang! You hit him on the head pretty hard.

[PointMaid]

Gotcha! If you don't play nice with the other students...

> Sure, let's try that again

[Dookie]

The PA comes on again.

"Testing, testing, 1..2..."

"Ah, yes. Today we begin our next challenge. That challenge will be Curse Words. This round isn't an event, it's a condition...I will say a word that cannot be said. The first person to include the word in one of their posts will die. This condition lasts until the word is said, and might go into other challenges."

"Your curse word is: Die/died/dies. You can say Dead, but not the present, past, or future tense of die."
"Your next Round will begin on Tuesday the 14th at 12:00PM CST."

The PA shuts off.

[Dookie]

> Sure, let's try that again (Point)

3 strength + 8 luck = 11 power

11 power < 17 dodge.

Nerva dodges your hit. I should also remind that if you hit Nerva one more time, he'll be dead.

[Kennifer]

Normally Vriska might complain about the challenge being "weak" or "easy" or whatever but at this point she's glad it's not a physical thing while she's trying just to stay alive for now lol.

[PointMaid]

Eight nods. Not a problem. I host language arts practice programs as well as math and my databank contains a dictionary which includes slang and other workarounds.

[wingedcatgirl]

>wait. this barricade is made for humans. a kity could clamber out very easily. do that and go find fresh air. maybe knock some of it over while you're at it.

[Kennifer]

I 8n't planning on saying OR doing that if I can possi8ly help it.

[Dookie]

>wait. this barricade is made for humans. a kity could clamber out very easily. do that and go find fresh air. maybe knock some of it over while you're at it. (Sylvi)

The kitty escapes! :3

[PointMaid]

> Yeah, I get it. One more time at least. Hurl that debris in a perfect parabolic arc to hit Nerva.

[Dookie]

> Yeah, I get it. One more time at least. Hurl that debris in a perfect parabolic arc to hit Nerva. (Point)

2 strength + 8 luck = 10 power

10 power > 5 dodge

Bang. You've got them. I'll give Florien one more post for final words.

[PointMaid]

Eight looks satisfied. Like I said, if you can't play nice with the other children...

> Find a way to air the place out so everyone that can recover can recover, or barring that, scramble over the barricade to fresh air yourself

[Dookie]

> Find a way to air the place out so everyone that can recover can recover, or barring that, scramble over the barricade to fresh air yourself (Point)

You can't find a way to air out the place, so you just break open the barricade and get out.

[NebulaChimera2211]

Hey, good going!

>Attempt to break down or dismantle one of the barricades. Failing that, climb over it.

[Kennifer]

Vriska will

> Try to get past the barricade without injuring herself further, then look for a bedsheet to rip into bandages to patch herself up.

[Dookie]

>Attempt to break down or dismantle one of the barricades. Failing that, climb over it. (Neb)

You topple over a stack of chairs blocking your path, and you and Vriska pass through. Vriska finds a bedsheet, but has trouble ripping it up.

[Florien]

AZHHHHGH!**** SKREEEE EEE E EEEEEEEEEEEEeeeEEEeeEEEePOP

Nerva is badly hit, and as he yells in pain, his vocal distorter makes an unpleasant staticky, feedbacky noise, followed by a pop... and shuts off, revealing a much higher pitched voice than expected for such a large guy.

Cheap. Fucking CHEAP. My employer just sat there, being useless, Couldn't even cut the lights as we planned. So.

He spits, and some blood drips out from under the badly sealed gas mask, and a few shards of greenish circuitboard plastic come with it. Some smoke comes out from the filter.

Jewel hired me. Xe suggested I kill Darryl. Couldn't even help me eliminate you all, just sat there. I hope xe got enough of that carbonyl to scald into unfunctionality hir gills or lungs or whatever xe has, and I hope the edemas I've given you all leave even your survivors permanently short of breath, if you don't drop in the next few days anyway. No treatment, no nothing can save you. You're all going to drown in your own blood soon from what you've breathed in anyway, it's progressive. I hope it's painful.

He then ignites any remaining molotovs and collapses onto the ground to ignite himself. >Or throws them to finish off Vriska or ignite Dr. Eight if possible because apparently projectiles can go through walls now.

ELYSIUM AWAITS!

[Dookie]

>Or throws them to finish off Vriska or ignite Dr. Eight if possible because apparently projectiles can go through walls now. (Florien)

Nerva attempts to throw the molotov at one of the two (Mrs likely Vriska since she's closer).

8 strength + 6 luck = 14 power

14 power < 18 dodge

Nerva misses and hits the bed Vriska is at instead.

[Kennifer]

>okay yeah get away from that bed now lol

[PointMaid]

...Interesting.

I had thought his talking about an employer may have been hot air. And it's still possible he was trying to sew discord. But regardless, it is my duty to keep order among my students. I have no particular enmity toward you, Jewel, and perhaps you see why I had to act. But if you must turn against me, I will understand.
