"I know a guy who's worked with Nintendo to make his games. His name is Wario."

[KungFuCutbug]

"...what's he like," [Sherry asks Holly, trying not to make it obvious that she's staring at Nintendo head-on like an old person judging a scene kid's outfit from afar.]

[Kennifer]

"Wario? Well, we... worked together in the first "murdergame" I was in. He's certainly one of a kind, I can say that much. I feel like for the most part we made a pretty good team. Usually, anyway."

Holly... well okay that's almost a smile.

[Caret]

"Wario does sounds like an... interesting character, to say the least. I've also met some pretty interesting people in the murdergame I was last in. Yeah, there were some... pretty unstable people there." Bow previously rubs the back of her head.

[Cassie]

After a while, Heeko tells everyone of their second assignment.

“So, last night, a freaking blizzard struck and made a mess on our buildings. Luckily the more critical ones like the power station is safe, but still, it'd be helpful if you clean up the mess and fix it for me.”

1. Oh bother, looks like the bunkers’ fallen open and stuffed to the brim with snow. We'll need to get that out.
   
2. The armory...hoo boy, what a mess! All the damn weaponry and supplies placed there are scattered all over and there's a hole in the building's wall. (Some snowball that slammed it, huh?) Would like the stuff to be put back in place, and the hole be patched up.
   
3. The firing mechanism of our gun and missile turrets sadly seem to be jammed, not to mention the fallen-off protective covering. Wouldn't it be nice if it were unjammed and repatched?
   
4. And the helipad's so deep in the snow you can't tell it's there! Wipe all that snow off, will ya?
   

(OOC: You've got ~72 hours to complete all the tasks.)

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi gets up. Welp! Back to doing this shit.

Voi's Plan

Oh bother, looks like the bunkers’ fallen open and stuffed to the brim with snow. We'll need to get that out.
Do we not have shovels?! I know how to use these fuckers now! Let's do that. Also, turn the fucking heat up; my systems are...fucky. Fuck. Cannot find the word.

That's just straightforward. Shovel the snow out of the bunkers. Use the shovels to do that. Obviously. Use wheelbarrows to help you. After you've gotten most of the snow shoveled out, well, the power grid's still on! There's got to be a heating system in the bunker. Turn that up as high as possible, and whatever little that's left should melt and evaporate.

The armory...hoo boy, what a mess! All the damn weaponry and supplies placed there are scattered all over and there's a hole in the building's wall. (Some snowball that slammed it, huh?) Would like the stuff to be put back in place, and the hole be patched up.

Okay, I know the corps are cheap as hell when it doesn't come to them, but this is just ridiculous.

First, stop any more snow from going in with a basic barrier. Tape and some warm fabric, like one would use in a tent. Or a blanket. The tape's essential, though. Once a makeshift barrier's been formed, well. You at least know organization skills. Identify various groups of objects and separate them into various areas of the armory. Weaponry to the sides, everything else to the storage area in the back. Then, organize them by specific group. Rifles go with rifles. pistols go with pistols, etc. Once everything's been nearly organized, identify any sort of metal plating inside the area, as well as any tools. If you can't find them in the armory, look in storage. Once you got that, patch the hole properly with the metal plating.

The firing mechanism of our gun and missile turrets sadly seem to be jammed, not to mention the fallen-off protective covering. Wouldn't it be nice if it were unjammed and repatched?

If you were stupid enough not to have backups, I'm going to punch you.

Since you've already organized the armory, there should be a backup protective covering. Take those. Voi didn't have a lot of experience with these analog weapons, though. Most of the weapons Helium City's little mercenaries used were blasters and tasers and shit. Take the turrets inside so they don't get further damaged by the snow. Take them apart, fix whatever mechanism is jamming it, and put it back together again. Then, just replace the protective covering with the backup covering you found in the armory. Put them back where they belong once you're done.

And the helipad's so deep in the snow you can't tell it's there! Wipe all that snow off, will ya?

Sigh.

Voi at least knew about this from using private dronepads. From the looks of it, there weren't any automatic heating systems for the helipad, though. So, resort to the analog methods. Grab a shovel and a snow blower. Use the shovel to move away most of the snow, Then, blast hot hair through the snow blower in order to remove and/or melt away what is left.

[PointMaid]

Ruby's Plan

1. Oh bother, looks like the bunkers’ fallen open and stuffed to the brim with snow. We'll need to get that out.

Get some battery-powered infrared heat lamps going and melt that snow out of there. If not, melt it out with some fire torches. Very carefully, of course.

2. The armory...hoo boy, what a mess! All the damn weaponry and supplies placed there are scattered all over and there's a hole in the building's wall. (Some snowball that slammed it, huh?) Would like the stuff to be put back in place, and the hole be patched up.

Put a big magnet on a cart and gather up the loose metal that's gotten scattered – that's going to be most of it from the armory. Sort it all into piles of the same type and put them back into place in the armory, nice and neat. Then take the cart and search for anything non-metallic. Finally, patch that hole with some wire mesh and drywall spackle.

3. The firing mechanism of our gun and missile turrets sadly seem to be jammed, not to mention the fallen-off protective covering. Wouldn't it be nice if it were unjammed and repatched?

Take it apart piece by piece until you find what's jamming. Then take the piece of protective covering and solder it back into place.

4. And the helipad's so deep in the snow you can't tell it's there! Wipe all that snow off, will ya?

You're going to take the cart from earlier and bolt on a stout piece wood with metal sheeting applied to the outside so it's like a snowplow. Run it around the helipad. If there's any extra snow? Use the infrared heat lamp.

[Kennifer]

Before heading out to do some snow-clearing, Holly will make sure she's bundled up as warmly as possible. Her parka, snow boots, an extra hat and scarf, gloves, and she'll put on some sunglasses too because sun reflecting off the snow is not so good for the eyes. Yes, there's a person under all of that somewhere, and that person is going to...

Holly's Plan

Oh bother, looks like the bunkers’ fallen open and stuffed to the brim with snow. We'll need to get that out.

She will clear away most of the extra snow with a shovel first. Once enough has cleared not to make too horrific a mess when it melts, she'll use whatever she can find to melt it. Heater? Fire? Hairdryer? And if there's too much of a puddle left, she'll find some towels and rags to sop it up with and get things nice and clean.

The armory...hoo boy, what a mess! All the damn weaponry and supplies placed there are scattered all over and there's a hole in the building's wall. (Some snowball that slammed it, huh?) Would like the stuff to be put back in place, and the hole be patched up.

She tackles the hole first, because there's still weather outside and it'd sure be nice to not have it come in and ruin everything. She'll look around for anything that's big enough; maybe tear down some empty crates and hammer the boards together. And some plastic sheeting for waterproofing if she can. Then it's just a matter of cleaning things back up, putting them on shelves or in the (non-torn-down-to-patch-the-wall) crates, nice and neat and... preferably as out of the way of the damaged wall as she can in case the weather gets in.

The firing mechanism of our gun and missile turrets sadly seem to be jammed, not to mention the fallen-off protective covering. Wouldn't it be nice if it were unjammed and repatched?

Patching up the protective covering shouldn't be too difficult, should it? And she'll see if she can find a manual on how to repair the firing mechanism. If she needs some more guns or ammo from the Armory, well... she just put all that away so she knows right where to look. She'll follow the instructions in the manual carefully to avoid issues with firing.

And the helipad's so deep in the snow you can't tell it's there! Wipe all that snow off, will ya?

And out comes the snowshovel and... whatever heating thing she found earlier to clear out the bunker. Hopefully it worked before and hopefully it'll work again, right?

[Sherry just quietly nods to Holly in acknowledgment and moves on.]

Sherry's Plan

1. Oh bother, looks like the bunkers’ fallen open and stuffed to the brim with snow. We'll need to get that out.
> Just fucking... shovel it out? You got a snow shovel, use it. Grab some rock salt to melt the snow and ice in spots that the shovel's too big to fit into. If all else fails, grab some heaters and blow them onto the snowy spots. ...And since nobody else seems to be taking measures to prevent more snow from getting in since the bunkers have fallen open, close them. Obviously.

2. The armory...hoo boy, what a mess! All the damn weaponry and supplies placed there are scattered all over and there's a hole in the building's wall. (Some snowball that slammed it, huh?) Would like the stuff to be put back in place, and the hole be patched up.
> First order of business, patch that hole. Storage closet's finally open, right? Go in there and grab some thin bars of steel, then head back to the armory and bolt them onto the wall over the hole, welding them together with a blowtorch afterwards to get rid of any gaps. Once that's done, use the shovel, salt, and heaters to get rid of any snow that came in. Now you can get to the sorting! Find the supplies first and stack them all in the closet first—heavier things go on the lower shelves, lighter things on the higher shelves. Then, sort the weapons. Melee and throwing weapons hanging on the left wall; ranged weapons, explosives and... [sigh] guns on the right.

3. The firing mechanism of our gun and missile turrets sadly seem to be jammed, not to mention the fallen-off protective covering. Wouldn't it be nice if it were unjammed and repatched?
("Oh, you've gotta be fucking KIDDING ME!")
> First, you need anxiety medicine so that you can actually approach the turrets without being brought to the verge of vomiting due to your hoplophobia. ...Got it? Good. Now, take the turrets apart piece by piece—EXTRA SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY so they don't misfire—until you find out what has them jammed. Remove it, or if it's a faulty mechanism fix it, then put the turrets back together again (STILL EXTRA SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY because the chance of a misfire is even higher). As for the protective coverings? Weld those suckers to the turrets with the blowtorch from Step 2, and then GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE GUNS SO YOU DON'T GET SHOT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

4. And the helipad's so deep in the snow you can't tell it's there! Wipe all that snow off, will ya?
> No more guns? None of that? Thank god. All you're dealing with now is more snow. More snow means more shoveling, more rock salt, and more heaters. Easy!

"Let's hope that bad luck shouldn't strike me this time."

Bow's Plan

1. Oh bother, looks like the bunkers’ fallen open and stuffed to the brim with snow. We'll need to get that out.

> "Using a shovel to clear out the snow will probably take a long time, and trying to fit a big snowplow in such a tiny space will probably end in disaster, so... oh, can I hammer some handles to a curved metal sheet and use that to scoop the snow away? Let's try that. It shouldn't hurt me as long as I don't accidentally bang myself with the sheet... ouch. If that doesn't work, them I'll simply use a shovel and a Quick Attack chain to clear the snow. That'll take up more time than Plan A, but it's better to be safe than sorry, right?"

2. The armory...hoo boy, what a mess! All the damn weaponry and supplies placed there are scattered all over and there's a hole in the building's wall. (Some snowball that slammed it, huh?) Would like the stuff to be put back in place, and the hole be patched up.

> "Oh Zapdos, that's a lot of metal weapons. Don't want to accidentally injure myself, so I'll probably want something to transport the weapons. Do we have some carts and spare boxes? If so, then I'll probably use those. Then, I'll spent some time sorting the weapons and tools based on their type, taking extra care not to stab myself or fire a gun. That should be straightforward enough. Finally, I'll patch up that big hole with some metal sheets, reinforced with a tarp or something similar like a large blanket."

Next, I'll take the turrets into my room, open the turret up, and repair it using a toolkit. Finally, I'll just patch the protective covering with some threading and spare fabric. Now is a good time to put the cloth-making skills I've been learning to the test."

4. And the helipad's so deep in the snow you can't tell it's there! Wipe all that snow off, will ya?
> "Simple. I'll just use the metal sheet/shovel that I used to clear the snow out of the bunker and use that to clear the snow off the helipad. Although... if we had a snowplow, then maybe I'll use that instead."

[Oggy123]

"Here we go!"

1. Oh bother, looks like the bunkers’ fallen open and stuffed to the brim with snow. We'll need to get that out.

Just dig away all the snow with a shovel! And maybe use a heater to melt away the snow that can't be shoveled.

2. The armory...hoo boy, what a mess! All the damn weaponry and supplies placed there are scattered all over and there's a hole in the building's wall. (Some snowball that slammed it, huh?) Would like the stuff to be put back in place, and the hole be patched up.

We need to make a makeshift covering out of metal or a similar to cover up the hole. Then put the things where they belong.

3. The firing mechanism of our gun and missile turrets sadly seem to be jammed, not to mention the fallen-off protective covering. Wouldn't it be nice if it were unjammed and repatched?

Uhhh... Just try finding out what jammed the guns and missile turrets, and fix it (Obviously with a manual, and turn it off so Nintendo didn't injure himself). Then replace the fallen-off protective covering with a new one.

4. And the helipad's so deep in the snow you can't tell it's there! Wipe all that snow off, will ya?

Melt the snow using a heater or shovel it away.

[Magolor]

Voi gets up. Welp! Back to doing this shit.

Grab a shovel and a snow blower. Use the shovel to move away most of the snow, Then, blast hot hair through the snow blower in order to remove and/or melt away what is left.

Voi rolls 9, 5, 4, and 4, resulting in a pretty average initial score of 22 points.

Using the power of LEARNINGNice, Voi does an amazing job of shoveling. The wheelbarrows become moot as she just tosses the snow from where she stands all the way off to the side! The heating systems are nice and cozy, wherever they are, and she enjoys a nice break.

The makeshift barrier does just fine in keeping the blowing snow from getting everywhere, but the room does stay cold after everything. After a long while sorting out the weapons, and searching for something to plug the breach, the Armory turns out just fine. The hole could do with a thicker sheet to block it, though...

Bold move, taking weapons you don't recognize apart. And bolder still to assume they're easy to assemble by hand. At least the parts aren't totally lost... and the jamming problem simply falls out. Protective sheets aren't hard to find, but just as before, Voi fails to really put 'em together.

The snow is all hard and icy today, it seems, so the shovel won't do. The snow blower simply uncovers the icy patch! At least the heat melts the ice.

Voi's newfound skill and added usage of the heating (+2), idea to make a makeshift plug until it's easier to do so (+1), attempt at reverse-engineering guns from the past (-2), and usage of a snowblower!!! (+1) result in a final score of 24 points. Neat!

Ruby rolls 2, 7, 10, and 4, getting an initial 23 points!

Well, no, uh, let's see... The melted snow is just getting everything even more wet, and doesn't even come out!

I don't even know what spackle is, but it seems to do the trick! The non-metals are all over, but you don't find too much issue getting them back in place.

Wow, you really like taking it apart. REALLY. Perhaps you went too far when you began taking apart the ammo, too. Whatever the case, you put it back together, the recovered protection soldered, almost fused to the surface.

Well, snowplows have the convenience of having engines and treads. You... don't. The snow hardly moves until your heat lamp comes into play.

Although Ruby failed to see through the plan of melting all that snow (-2), her knowledge on fixing holes and the added bonus of separating metallics helped. (+2) Perhaps taking apart the weapon isn't the greatest way (-2), but a makeshift plow is pretty fun (+1). All in all, Ruby gets 22 points.

Holly rolls 8, 4, 2, and 6. That's an initial 20 points...

Shoveling is awkward but very efficient! Melting the snow ends up with minimal pooling thanks to convenient absorbent flooring.

Yeah, that wall patch stands fine, but the plastic doesn't do much to stop the cold wind. The junk all over makes it hard to sort within, as well...

No manuals here, bucko. At least, Holly doesn't find one. Too bad! The protective covering also sits limp and unattached in the end.

Slow shoveling around, but you get the job done. That heater really does the trick!

Considering the aftereffects and accounting for potentials (+3), dealing with the hole first (+1), trying to do things the "right" and well-tested way (+1), and using a heater (+1) nets Holley... 26 points.

Sherry gets 8, 1, 9, and 1... that's a total of 19 points.

Well, that worked spectacularly! The snow gets thrown out, melts and evaporates, and the bunker... closes.

That's a whole lot of detail for what ended up a mess! The metal bars refused to stay put, and you ended up singing yourself and the snow nearby. The supplies are unwieldly and the armory's own stuff is just too numerous for your tired body...

Wow, practicing basic safety like NOT INDUCING A PANIC ATTACK! It works just fine, and you easily remember what you did to not get shot but allow it to shoot. And thankfully, it doesn't kill you in the end.

Easy as heck as the rock salt crumbles into your FACE! Hah. The shovel is forgotten and you end up just melting all the snow in your fervor.

For considering all that stuff (and closing the closet) (+3), Using a pretty nice cover for the holes and also moving the supplies in place (or at least trying) (+2), at least practicing safety while doing the deconstruction, which was also done carefully (0), and using rock salt as you plow and melt (+2), which is a lot of bonuses, Sherry gets 26 points!

Bow gets a 7, 2, 2, and 8, which adds up to an initial 19 points.I just wanted to say, random.org was out for your blood. Be glad this was a 4-task thing instead of a 5-task thing as I thought or else you'd be super screwed.

Bow made some funny-looking shovels, and somehow managed to use them. Somehow. There's still bits and pieces of snow left, but clearly nobody minds when they can ponder the shovels.

Bow at least finds that blanket, because everything else turns up missing. And Bow ends up firing... at least one revolver. Yeesh, there goes her feeler's calm day, replaced by a near-death experience.

Woah, tools? It's very hard to use them as a Sylveon, though. And sewing into metal is even HARDER. What magic does Bow use to accomplish the latter? The result is an arduous process, either way.

Huh. There is a snowplow. A bit of fueling and watching a very funny instruction video included with the screen lands Bow with an easy task. Somehow, the helicopter just stays there during all this.

For making custom tools for the job (+1), the addition of blankets and boxes (+2), attempting the same old disassembly, but with tools this time (-1), and using a SNOWPLOWWWWW (+1), Bow ends up with a 22 point final score.

"Here we go!"

1. Oh bother, looks like the bunkers’ fallen open and stuffed to the brim with snow. We'll need to get that out.

Just dig away all the snow with a shovel! And maybe use a heater to melt away the snow that can't be shoveled.

2. The armory...hoo boy, what a mess! All the damn weaponry and supplies placed there are scattered all over and there's a hole in the building's wall. (Some snowball that slammed it, huh?) Would like the stuff to be put back in place, and the hole be patched up.

We need to make a makeshift covering out of metal or a similar to cover up the hole. Then put the things where they belong.

3. The firing mechanism of our gun and missile turrets sadly seem to be jammed, not to mention the fallen-off protective covering. Wouldn't it be nice if it were unjammed and repatched?

Uhhh... Just try finding out what jammed the guns and missile turrets, and fix it (Obviously with a manual, and turn it off so Nintendo didn't injure himself). Then replace the fallen-off protective covering with a new one.

4. And the helipad's so deep in the snow you can't tell it's there! Wipe all that snow off, will ya?

Melt the snow using a heater or shovel it away.

Nintendo rolls a 3, 6, 1, and 8, adding up to a total of 18 points, initially...

It takes a lot of digging before the personification can even dream of melting the snow... and the water gets everywhere.

The nondescript metal cover holds its own, but sorting out the armory takes a while.

Well, he doesn't find a manual, or a new protective cover. He definitely finds what jammed the weapons, considering they grazed his beautiful face.

Shovel shovel shovel, it's gone with little trouble.

Shoveling the snow first (+1), covering the hole with metal (+1), trying to use a manual (+1), and using a heater (+1) gives Nintendo a total of 23 points.

"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..." [Sherry grabs her burnt arm, inhaling sharply through gritted teeth.] "Mierda, that stings... where's the sink? You're supposed to put burns under cold water, aye?!"

[Cassie]

"Sink's at the bathroom and kitchen, there."

[KungFuCutbug]

"Thanks!" [Sherry immediately runs to where Heeko directed her. You can faintly hear running water and a string of pained Spanish obscenities...]

[Oggy123]

"Agh, my face... Do you have any first aid?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

>search for first aid

[Caret]

"Oh Arceus, that was a close call..." Bow trudges back to the cabin, her feelers trembling viciously. "I... almost shot myself with a gun. I can still hear the thunderous BOOM ringing through my ears. Thankfully for me, I still got the job done, but not in the best manner, to say the least."

[Cassie]

Voi finds some first aid by a cupboard in the meeting room.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi grabs the first aid, and brings it to the others. You fuckasses can't say I never fucking saved your asses.
