Lucky 13

[Florien]

Nerva doesn't look over at Dr. Eight even as he's

>Cutting that metal tube at an angle as previously requested with the shiny new wire saw.

I am making a weapon, of the highly versatile variety. I am quite sure you understand the situation most likely to be underway when a bunch of people who are otherwise strangers suddenly find themselves stuck in the same building with minimal explanation for how that came about. I've seen it enough times before to know what's going on, and I'm not about to be a disappointment to my name by being dead first.

He pauses for a bit to finish sawing, then bothers to look over at Eight.

And you should use this time before we find out whether my assumption is correct to prepare yourself for the worst possibility, that being that my assumption is indeed correct. Not that I have any objection to your lack of preparation, you will be less of a challenge if I am correct, and I shall survive more easily, though perhaps the family will object to soft-target combat that would lead to.

[Dookie]

>Go over to the nearest person ( or what appears to be a person, at least) (Sig)

For future reference, you don't have to action to go places, but you do that.

[Dookie]

>Cutting that metal tube at an angle as previously requested with the shiny new wire saw. (N)

You get it cut.

[TalesofUnder]

This isn't my bedroom... back home or in Amphibia. Is this a department store? Ugh. 

(You are now aware of a teenage girl with her blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, in what appears to be fantasy-style combat gear. And... is that a sword on her person?)

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

The guy in the SWAT gear might be onto something. Who brought us here and why? I don't exactly think they brought us here to have a fun sleepover.

[PointMaid]

I will keep my processors taking in data to be assured I am not taken by surprise. As you are no doubt aware, with physics many things in the environment can be offensive or defensive weapons. Physics on such a scale is a matter of mathematics. I teach mathematics. I process it very quickly.

[Oggy123]

Two anthropomorphic creatures, one with blue accents and a white labcoat, another with black clothing and green accents, wake up.

"Is it morning already?"

The blue charater looks around.

"Wait. Where the heck are we!?"

[Owen23]

"What are these strange-looking things doing here?"
>Observe the stuff on the aisles.

[Florien]

Excellent. Just one last thing...

>Nerva pours the lighter's butane down the tube, shoves a bit of cardboard down the tube to prevent leakage, and rams the ball bearing in. He keeps the lighter's sparker, which, being purely mechanical as sparkers are, will probably be useful later.

He then shows off the "weapon", far too proud of what appears to be a lemon yellow tube with tape on it.

This brings a whole new definition to a spear-gun, you might observe. Notably, it is also more efficient than a normal sharpened stick, as you can see, the hole in the top allows it to create wounds that bleed greatly even before it is withdrawn, and before I stab with it, I could ignite the butane with a click of the sparker right here, next to this exposed extender hole, propelling the ball bearing into any number of important organs on an opponent... though perhaps it may not be particularly accurate at long range, I cannot rifle a barrel on short notice. It is the same principle as a musket and bayonet, excepting for the fact that it may not be... precisely as effective if I stab before firing. But then, a bayonet is for after you have fired.

He mutters something about how my family think I'm the unremarkable one I'd like to see them say that now, then sits down at the dice table, new weapon by his side.

[Dookie]

>Observe the stuff on the aisles (Noe)

It's mainly just furniture, housewares, a few tools...

[Dookie]

> Nerva pours the lighter's butane down the tube, shoves a bit of cardboard down the tube to prevent leakage, and rams the ball bearing in. He keeps the lighter's sparker, which, being purely mechanical as sparkers are, will probably be useful later. (Ner)

You spill some of the butane, but overall get everything in. You've crafted a weapon!

[MadameButterflyKnife]

While Nerva is going on and on about weaponry, an octopus made of blue and yellow ink climbs up the table, before shifting into a girl in her late teenage years. "Hm...that is fresh as shit! Wonder if you could try and get me one of those, or at least show me how to make one. Maybe in a smaller scale, though. Something I can run with.

[wingedcatgirl]

Lucky gives Nerva a friendly meow as though everything he's doing is completely normal and nonthreatening.

[Owen23]

"Maybe I need to find something.."
>Try to find a weapon.

[Oggy123]

> Look around and explore the surroundings.

[Kennifer]

I don't know why we're here either 8ut if we've got to fight something I 8n't too worried. I'm pretty gr8 at com8at. You have to 8e on Alternia or else you get culled pretty early. And that's every8ody, not just those of us who play FLARP and are even 8etter at that shit.

[Florien]

Hello cat. Hello cephalopod-human-hybrid.

Nerva does something approximating an acknowledging nod, but it's difficult to tell, with the high collar on the upper body's armor.

I believe it is evident enough how to make one. This is merely the metal shaft of a broom or mop, strategically cut, with a makeshift gun built inside, along the same principles as a potato cannon. If you wish to make a short-spear version, merely cut it shorter. It does not have to have a long barrel, after all, I just happen to think this is the correct size of polearm for me, having used a bayonet before, in the engagement at Montevideo, which I doubt anyone can reasonably say was not a guerilla campaign in which I performed admirably and thoroughly outperformed many of my less skilled siblings.

[Dookie]

>Try to find a weapon. (Noe)

The best weapon you find is a stuffed teddy bear. Be careful! You could rip someone's head off with one of those! /s

> Look around and explore the surroundings. (S&M)

It's an Ikea.

[PointMaid]

Is that because noone else with knowledge of that campaign is here?

[Dookie]

A young voice comes on the loudspeaker.

"Welcome, shoppers. You might be wondering where you are, and what you're doing here. Unfortunately, you've been caught up in another one of those 10 - 20 person kidnappings, where the only way to get out is to kill each other - but that's most likely obvious right now. I'll be your host, and yada yada yada explanation explanation explanation, you're all trapped in here and are going to have to kill each other until one of you is left. And I'll help! In an undisclosed amount of time, we'll have our first "Round", AKA a game in which someone dies. Before and after rounds, you can kill each other, but in case Rounds involve voting or targeting others, if people know it is in fact you who did the murder, you may become a target, so try to hide it if you can. That should be all of it..."

The voice coughs.

"Ok..um..any questions, comments or concerns?"

[noodlesnook]

Sig is suddenly reminded of the one time they got trapped in an abandoned mall. It's just like that now.
Except with more murder, I guess.

[noodlesnook]

And the shard's on the fritz agAIN

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

That figures. Of course the PGA Tour people sent me down here. They wanted to get rid of me. Something about how I've been a black eye for them for some time....

[MadameButterflyKnife]

The octopus girl raises her hand. "Honestly, I feel that was kinda boring. You could put a little energy into that announcement, all I'm saying. Make yourself actually seem threatening, because you sound bored."

[Kennifer]

Huh. 8rutal.

Vriska didn't seem too fazed. She's just going to...

> see if she can find any knives, screwdrivers, any sort of thing like that that's good and stabbity. Whether for self defense or otherwise.
