Lucky 13

[Kennifer]

Like I said 8efore, what would have happened if there had 8een a tie in the voting? Oh, and are the other games going to 8e this dum8, or are we going to do something that's less ar8itrary than voting to kill some8ody without much to go on?

[PointMaid]

I'll start slow since I don't know what level you should be placed in yet. 12x12?

[wingedcatgirl]

If Lucky has any questions, they're probably about where to find snacks and warm places to nap.

[Florien]

Less of a question and more of a statement. Less of a statement and more of a request. Less of a request and more of a demand. Less of a demand and more of an important idea. Less of an important idea and more of a question.

How many may we kill in the upcoming fight to the death before you arbitrarily decide that the waiting period is over and attempt to kill us in a minigame segment to try to balance that you locked several high-profile combat experts in a room with a casino worker and a cat and some other things? Oh and when do we start with that?

[Dookie]

Like I said 8efore, what would have happened if there had 8een a tie in the voting? Oh, and are the other games going to 8e this dum8, or are we going to do something that's less ar8itrary than voting to kill some8ody without much to go on?

"If there was a tie, there would be a revote, and yes, there will be skill-based games."

I'll start slow since I don't know what level you should be placed in yet. 12x12?

"...I have no ideas what that means...uh...FUCK IT'S A MATH PROBLEM OH SHIT I'M DUMB AHHHH"

the PA system turns off.

"24."

How many may we kill in the upcoming fight to the death before you arbitrarily decide that the waiting period is over and attempt to kill us in a minigame segment to try to balance that you locked several high-profile combat experts in a room with a casino worker and a cat and some other things? Oh and when do we start with that?

"Kill as many as you like. You probably can't get all of them, I don't care, start killing whenever you want. Also after the questions are over, I'll reveal a time when the next mini game happens. Hope your killing streak goes well, Nerva. Or not. Or you might not even do it at all. Who knows?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"Also, I don't watch the news, I don't know what the fuck games you're talking about or who you are." She sits on a nearby couch. "Either way, I'm down for taking down as many as I can, but isn't this sort of arbitrary? You should at least set a time limit for the next game, maybe a few days til' the next one for us to wait til, or give me some pizza, I'm starving."

[TalesofUnder]

A fight, huh? I can work with that.

(She draws her sword. Why does this young girl have a sword.)

[Zanreo]

Nerva dramatically slams his spare pressurized gas tank down on the table, with a clang.

I have counted. Seven people cast their votes for those who are going to die.

"Wait... seven? Think your count is a bit off there." P. H. replies. "We've got... ok, well, technically 14, but Sony and Microsoft might as well have counted as one, so 13 players. 8 of these 13 voted for someone else, leaving 9 - 10 - 11 - 12- 13. P. H counts on her fingers, to show off off a hand with all 5 fingers up as she emphazises the "13". "Even if you're counting Microsoft and Sony separately and assume they voted for themselves for whatever reason, that would still just be 6, not 7. Unless you know of some secret extra voters they've got hidden around here?"

[PointMaid]

Correct. Eight votes for people other than Sony and Microsoft were disclosed. Two people with one vote, one person with two votes, and one with four votes. 1+1+2+4 = 8. As you say, assuming they are counted as one, and that all are voting, 13 - 8 = 5 votes for Sony and Microsoft.

She turns her head to the PA. ...And 12x12 is 144, not 24. Either you need to learn the difference between multiplication and addition or I will provide you an even easier curriculum.

[Dookie]

The next round will begin February 10th at 3:00 CST - we'll give time for Toontown Showdown to go through it's phase.

[Dookie]

BANG!

You hear something loud - Nerva's gas tank has hit Jacquelyn right in her legs.

[Kennifer]

Not wasting any time, I see.

[NebulaChimera2211]

Who voted for the kitty?!

Arline jumps in shock at the sound of the gas tank.

WAAAH! ...Well, what now?

[wingedcatgirl]

Lucky runs away in terror from the loud noises! Scared kity...

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Great, Darth Vader has gone insane. Why am I not surprised?

>Can I for once have luck finding a decent weapon to defend myself with?

[Kennifer]

>...is Jaquelyn even still alive or did this kill her?

[Dookie]

>Can I for once have luck finding a decent weapon to defend myself with? (Lee)

It's your lucky day, you find a bottle in the kitchen you can break.

>...is Jaquelyn even still alive or did this kill her? (Ozz)

She looks alive, though injured.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Break the bottle just right where I can use it for stabby-stabby

[PointMaid]

Are we to believe you think Jaquelyn voted for you to be removed, Nerva? Or is there a different reason you launched an assault on here where everyone would see? ...Assuming it was intentional and launched by you. It was rather sudden. I will re-play my database recordings, assuming they are not corrupted.

> Eight re-plays her databank recordings of the attack. Can she confirm that Nerva launched the gas tank rather than anyone else, and that it appears to be deliberate?

[Kennifer]

He did seem to indic8 that he was excited a8out killing people and going to get 8ack at the ones who voted for him. So I wouldn't 8e surprised if it was that o8vious. Make them pay and all that vengeance type stuff that gets pretty messy 8ut can 8e effective as hell.

Well, if it was set off on purpose and didn't just 8last itself 8ecause it got unsta8le or something I guess.

Vriska sounds like she knows what she means by the whole cycle of revenge thing... which, of course, she does.

[Zanreo]

"Right, would be a pretty bold move to go for a kill attempt right in front of everyone... but maybe that's what he was going for. Taking those big gambles, hm?"

[Dookie]

> Break the bottle just right where I can use it for stabby-stabby (Lee)

Done.

> Eight re-plays her databank recordings of the attack. Can she confirm that Nerva launched the gas tank rather than anyone else, and that it appears to be deliberate? (Point)

It was in Nerva's hands when it went off, but you can't tell if it's intentional or not.

[Dookie]

If there was any question on Nerva's innocence, it's thrown out the window when he tackles Jacquelyn, pining her down, and starts full-on stabbing her with his dagger.

[Florien]

Nerva stands up from the rapidly bleeding out Jacquelyn, makeshift dagger in hand, blood over his jeans and vest.

Let that be your lesson in what happens if you are even suspected of having attempted to ruin me. You do NOT cross the Reisgrafs. The remaining three of you, Doctor Eight included who I suspect was one of the ones who targeted me, are for now to be considered spared, but if I catch even the slightest hint of you stepping from my line, I will gut you, or whatever expression of violence is appropriate.

He pauses for a moment, to wipe some blood off the plastic shield of his helmet.

Please recommend me personally to all your friends for mercenary services. Thank you.

[PointMaid]

As it happens, I didn't vote for you. I'm not sure what I said that would give you that impression. I did mention that I prefer a challenge. You may be hasty, but you seem as... up to a challenge as any here. I'm also curious what made you suspect Jacquelyn.
