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

[Florien]

Check for chalk dust [?]: Well, the room is filled with it from Snap being bashed in. You can smell chalk dust, but you can't be sure whether or not it's on B-Sha, or whether or not she'd have gotten it on her from killing Snap in the first place.

[Florien]

[?]: You're all in a room with a lot of chalk dust. You all have chalk dust on you, whether you be B-Sha, Terezi, or anyone else who is alive and in the room.

Terezi pulls out a coin, which she flips...

[Florien]

Coinflip: Tails.

One hour remains until the Final Night. Remember, you can vote during night phase if you want.

>Lock yourself in your apartament room one last time.

[Florien]

[5]: The lock feels loose, but you get in nonetheless. The occasion is momentous.

Night Falls. 105 hours until Tuesday 11 AM Pacific.

105 hours until the endgame Begins.

[Florien]

Day 6. The final day... The sun breaks over Tripford. The atmosphere, if anything, is even more tense than yesterday. Outside journalism is seeping into the city, bit by bit. Rumor has it that Chief Clearday is mobilizing forces to hold the entire population of the city hostage to buy time for an exit strategy, but those are just rumors so far. Clara Corey "Seko" Meitner has been appearing on TV more and more, issuing speech after speech. She's a surprisingly good speaker, and has managed to quell increasingly agitated crowds with words (and though it's not reported on, presumably high levels of violence.) However, the situation is increasingly unstable. Police patrol the sky in helicopters in some areas, their nightsuns blazing through the dim morning light. Meanwhile, though no sources are reporting on it, there's whispers among the populace that the national guard is coming to break up the TCPD soon.

This does not yet matter to you, as early in the morning, the Spymaster calls in.

Everyone gather in the park, please. In the middle of the park. Congratulations on surviving this long, by the way, though that seems to be by virtue of the high level of incompetence on display making you only seem impressive by comparison in surviving five days and nights without accidently dying from tripping on a curb or something.

[wingedcatgirl]

Sariel arrives, carrying an array of guns that make you wonder if they've job-changed to Machinist.

"Be on your guard, everyone. Something's coming."

[Kennifer]

Terezi mumbles a bit, not entirely sure she'd consider herself incompetent since at least in her mind she's been doing... well, mostly pretty well.

She heads to the park.

[PointMaid]

Five comes running to the park, full speed. ...Terezi! ...Sariel! Is everyone okay? The doc and I were nearly gassed with nitrogen and had some guards shot at us... and we thought you might be in danger, too

[PointMaid]

* had some guards shoot at us

[TenOfSwords13]

She's right, we need to fuck outta here RIGHT NOW.

Fishcer has returned, not looking great with some minor wounds, but still in one piece.

[Florien]

The Spymaster calls in, very suddenly, as this revelation is made, and as the two "graduates" reappear.

You know, I'm not sure whether it speaks more to my skills at deception, or your willingness to buy what I had to say...

There's the sound of sirens in the distance.

But I'm really quite shocked you never thought too far beyond what you uncovered for this long. Not that that matters now, of course. I've already sent the order. None of you were ever spy material. But you get a call from the caller, you listen, and when the caller asks you to use your network to set up a quote unquote "murdergame", you'd better do that. I don't particularly care if you understand. But the issue is, I can't have you compromising my network by surviving. This, I'm sure, you do understand.

There sirens are getting closer.

Now, as I'm sure you've figured out, you never worked for me. I rounded you up off the streets. Erase months of memories? HA! That was the thing I was sure you'd NEVER buy. But you did. You lost maybe a day, and I just dumped you in an apartment building. Good thing I've got a multicentimillionaire on my side, right? Else I'd never have been able to get those drugs so easily. Anyway, Lindsey is one of mine, and Lindsey's three subordinates along with Lindsey themself should be able to clean you right up. As for your "Graduated" friends, I KNEW splitting up the pair would make them not recognize what was happening... even if they did eventually escape and kill some goons. Goodbye, "Agents". You won't be alerting the feds to my presence. Not that they could find me anyway. You know nothing about me, and they don't either. *KZZHTTK*

The transmission ends, and a police cruiser pulls up to the park, and three officers get out of the back and passenger seats... Then, a familiar individual in full riot gear gets out of the driver's seat.

HELL YEAH! You're a stain on this city, and you're about to get BLEACHED! LET'S GO, GUYS! Surround them!

The one-liner isn't great, but that probably doesn't matter, as Clara Corey Meitner is armed, and no less deadly. However [1]: It seems that the communication frequency chosen for the crew coming for you happens to be the same as the Spymaster's channel to you. You can hear everything being said between the four leaders coming for you.

One of you needs to patrol around the outside roads, block their escape. Romero, don't do that, you lurk in ambush to get them if they try to leave towards 1 or 4. Seko, you keep the police coming, cut off their north, east, and south escape, while your tank guy goes around the inner circle. I'll call in the target's positions if you lose them. We can't let them get out alive. If the feds fight us, kill them, and I can fix the problems that'll create later. AND IF ANY OF YOU TRY DESERTING, ONE OF THE OTHERS, KILL THEM, OR I'LL GET YOU BOTH MYSELF.

Lindsey has apparently been released, and is leading the hunters.

[TenOfSwords13]

North is out, east is out, south is out, all roads are out. Not... the sewers though. I'm a fucking genius. Should wait for the others... nope, they're probably not making it past the tank.

>Access the sewers, if possible.

[wingedcatgirl]

"... Well, all right then." Sariel draws their shield with one hand and a pistol with the other.

Sariel Elakha uses

Iron WillTank stance

.

"We're all busting out of here."

[PointMaid]

...I have just about had enough of these self-important idiots.

> Making sure she has her bulletproof vest from when they went after Lindsey the first time, run toward the freaking TANK, dodge it, and JUMP UP ON IT. Shoot out the windshield and TAKE CONTROL OF THE DAMN TANK.

[Kennifer]

Well, the sewers are definitely out for Terezi due to the smell, so she's gonna stay put.

She's also gonna

>draw the sword out of her cane and prepare for a fight

[Florien]

[10]: Dr. Fischer dashes down a manhole, still open from the massive explosion a few days ago, and to relative safety...

The Doctor's in the Sewer. I'll deal with her soon enough. Got some petty revenge to exact. Deal with the rest.

[9]: Runner Five tries to attack the tank, but it hasn't rolled up yet. But on the other hand, that idea is so badass that she waits until the tank DOES roll up. Officer Johnson is driving, and a random second officer is working the gun.

BOOM.
The tank fires. [4] It hits a patch of road where Runner Five was, blowing it up. Runner Five runs up onto the tank and [10]: Unloads her entire magazine of bullets into the bulletproof glass windshield.

Johnson looks surprised and horrified, for a bit, then laughs a little, as the windshield cracks open.

That was... your entire plan? Heh. Carl, kill her.

Terezi prepares for an already underway fight, and ducks behind a rock [5] as Seko takes a shot. [6]. The rock is blown up by the shotgun slug. Terezi is now out in the open. +1 in favor of Seko versus Terezi.

[TenOfSwords13]

The Catkin killer wants a round two? Fucking hell... better be prepared.

>Search the sewers for an ideal position to hold, somewhere with decent cover and good lines of sight.

[PointMaid]

Five takes a breath to steady herself. Well... so far, so good. Running skillz doing her good.

...Here goes nothing.

> That's right, take control of that tank! ...Or at least distract them enough that they're not an issue for the others.

[Florien]

Dr. Fischer looks around for a good position... [1]: Wow, Lindsey's fast.

[9], [4]: +5 for Lindsey.

Everyone else hears the sound of a shotgun going off in the sewers. Over the communication channel...

Got one!

Dr. Fischer has been killed.

Meanwhile, Runner Five has more luck, because as Carl swings the turret around to attempt to knock her off, [8] she does a really impressive flip over the turret's barrel and reloads the gun in the process. Very action-movie-stuff. [6], [3]. Another shot hits Officer Johnson in the chest, the windshield not there to protect him.

AAAAAgh. You. NO! YOU...

Whatever he was trying to say didn't get out. He dies.
