Sensible Erection | Return to [Nice town] Day 1

Sunday, 9 September 2012

quote [ wanted to play a kind of vanilla game. But nooooooooo ]

Marked "Work Safe"

Things were looking good in [nice town], people were filling up the hotel, traffic passing through town going elsewhere, beautiful weather, no junkmail to speak of .. then the Typhoon came and messed it all up.
The power went out to most of the town, the roads in and out got washed away, the computers at the hotel are dead, and now there's reports of bodies found on the beach that might not have been killed by sharks.

What to do ... what to do?

LoC because I want to get a conversation started, and don't speak French.

Seems to me we're given a whole lot of red herring occupations, either to do with our name or to do with possible plots. As I have absolutely nothing to do with the V.L.F., am willing to publicly repudate their methods and have no intention of waiting for any serial killers to murder most of the population before raising an army of the undead to take control, I am also willing to bet our local drunk isn't actually a sea captain, no matter what they might claim, and the quantumvolcanologist is probably a good bloke with no evil plots whatsoever.

Not voting when chances are at this stage we'll get a townie or splodie may sound good, but it's atleast a slight chance of getting a baddie and better than waiting for serial killers to murder us all, or crazed vulcanologists to blow up the whole town.

I got my eye on the bartender, just cause no-one in their right mind would kill the only bartender, and god is a cruel and ironic son-of-a-bitch.

Well, the bad news. The computers are down. And the last shipment of breakfast supplies didn't make it, so we'll only have bagels with the continental breakfast for the next handful of days. Sorry. Bagel. I'll need you guys to share.

And more bad news.. Apparently it's homicidal maniac time in town. A lot of them. And... Well, some of 'em want to stab us, but more of them want to blow someone else up with 'em. So, I'm just gonna warn you guys- maybe we should be careful, really careful about who we kill.

(I mean, I'm just guessing, based on how many rooms have asked me to Google the directions for making a deadman's switch and send it up to their room, right?)

Anyway, I got a couple more bits to work out. See what we can talk about in the morning, right? Figure maybe I can get these computers up and running- these tech support bastards just keep asking me if I'm sure they're plugged in....

There is something to be concerened about regarding all the orangutan genes though. Facinating. Let me check my notes.

As everyone gathers around the remains of the storm tossed buffet at the hotel (Wonderful Ocean Views as you Dine!) the hand cranked shortwave radio, on the table normally reserved for ice sculptures, crackles loudly with intermittent blast of loud static before many voices begins to speak and yell on the open channel. Fiddling with the knob weeds out the masses as voice after disembodied voice tell the same tale..
The Cylons have knocked out the defensive emplacements in the asteroid belt with nukes and kinetic bombardments whereas some of the near-planet defensive satellites have fallen to apparent sabotage as some explode from overloaded reactors and others continue to drift toward one another (or the planet) while their crews struggle to work around the control systems they've been locked out of.
The Planet is under Attack!
Pushing the transmit button does nothing as many continue to wonder who disabled all the communication systems the Typhoon didn't take out.
This sudden moment of remembered suspicion breaks the shocked silence and invigorates the gathering to once again cast curious glances at their fellows and take up the age old tradition of paying Lord Fear in the only coin he desires ... blood.

brat#3, FifthSpango, and LoC turn as a group to struggle with the Retired Competitive Eater Jewbacchus. Moving as a writhing mass of chaotic destruction the struggling foursome knock over the "ENCHANTMENT UNDER THE SEA" backdrop, left by a previous party, causing others to step back as it comes crashing to the ground in a cloud of shattered Christmas ornaments and plastic seaweed (which drifts ominously to the ground in a disturbing pantomime of an eldritch being grasping blindly at our world through a dimensional rift, such that only its tentacles may be seen without the mind breaking horror of its true countenance being revealed).

A frozen moment in time..
brat#3 laughs maniacally as she raises a frosting knife high over the chest of Jewbacchus.
Loc and Fifthspango, with angry yet confused looks on their faces, struggle to hold the arms of Jewbacchus as he writhes and reaches for them.
Jewbacchus, with a strange gleam in his eye, struggling with the men, already has a handful of the front of Loc's pants as he reaches plaintively for the same region on Fifthspango.

Time resumes..
Jewbacchus grabs hold of Fifthspango's crotch and screams "BY GOD I'LL DIE IN THE COMPANY OF MEN!!!" as brat#3's knife plunges home and the entire end of the room where they were standing disappears in a flash of light and flame.

Time stops again..
In the smoke filled buffet a lone gust of wind stirs open a tunnel of clear air laying bare the scene of the explosion where nothing remains but blast smudged concrete and the jagged remains of once-walls and once-ceiling.

Time resumes its inexorable march toward the "future"...
Gasping for air and pulling splinters from their singed clothing, the survivors of this evenings gathering, stumbling and slumped on the decorative lawn next to the parking lot (it might be non-native grass but it's doing quite well in this climate), babble in curiosity about the events they've just witnessed.

Obviously Jewbacchus was a Splodey but no trace of the others can be found beyond certain grease and blood stains.
Eventually brat#3's frosting knife is found, driven handle first, into the underside of the third floor balcony but it's edge is better suited to spreading cream cheese than cutting so much as a cold stick of butter.
Of Loc and Fifthspango there is even less.

With a grinding moan, the Western facade of the Hotel detaches from its anchors and tilts ponderously over the cliff's edge before crashing into the sea as the suction of its passage draws into the air the contents of rooms and walls once cherished for their pristine views and proximity to the buffet.
Creaking and twisting The Hotel begins a slow collapse.

Momentarily frozen in mute horror. the crowd is temporarily distracted by a shooting star before realizing, as one, that more likely than not it is one of the planets defensive satellites burning in the upper atmosphere while attempting a re-entry it was never designed for, and for which its human passengers are even less so prepared.

Shrugging off the image of death so distantly removed, some begin to wander off to wherever they intend to spend the night while others seek the solace of shared experience and analysis of the evening's odd turns of event.

A large piece of The Hotel fell into the ocean and your worried about your eBay rating?

Okay, downmod accepted, dissatisfaction noted.
We can discus it here or via PM ... your call.

But consider .. I run a balanced game, whatever it is you are upset about I strongly suspect you'll slap your forehead and laugh when it's explained in the endgame recap.

But I hate to think one of my players is having a bad time because of the mechanics or GM decisions so I am here for you if you want to discuss it.

Maybe the downmod was a bit harsh, 'twas actually meant only in jest.
Everything's cool.

spite48 said @ 6:12am GMT on 10th Sep
Oh Cool. Sorry you got dead.

tickaz said @ 6:55am GMT on 10th Sep
He didn't die, did he?

spite48 said @ 7:55am GMT on 10th Sep
Oh, I just assumed because of my misinterpretation of his reaction and -_-'s comment. Thanks for the reminder to actually read who died.

tickaz said @ 9:39am GMT on 10th Sep
Yeah, I actually found his reaction baffling.

It's a -_- game. everyone dies earlier than they expected. Splodeys are a known game mechanic in lots of games besides.
Disappointment noted, but c'mon.

-_- said @ 5:26am GMT on 10th Sep
He might be upset about the lack of info about the others .. but .. no mob, no masons, no secret groups.
And ... I don't do things like that without a reason ;)

tickaz said @ 9:41am GMT on 10th Sep
My theory: everyone in the room was a splodey, causing a chain reaction of splodey-ness and thus annihilating every atom in the room.

-_- said @ 1:12pm GMT on 10th Sep
Um ... you were all in the room.

So now we're in a purgatory-like dimension and we have to go to a church and walk into the light?

Only if you had the salmon pate, otherwise you can stay behind and help with the shrubbery.

NOOOOoooo! FifthSpangoooo!

If only you hadn't wasted your life as a corporate whore I could have showed you that LoC and Jewbacchus had many of the genetic markers of Severe Potential for Large Organic Destructive Incindinary Explosions.

Oh well, a data point towards my theory, at least you eventually did something to further science in death. And you never did learn to use more attactive assistants. (dear god the buns on spite48)

Were it in my power, I would clone SixthSpango tonight.

By the by, assuming of course you survive the night, I may require your help with a little experiment tomorrow spite48.

heh heh heh...

I'm all up for experimentation. But no baby animals. I draw the line at baby animals.

Not Brat#3! She still has a book taken out from the library, a brief history of miniature cakes and human sacrifice, she's had it three weeks now and the late charges are going to be astronomical.
Where ever you are, we expect payment!

Looks like LoC's switch to Jewbacchus to protect himself backfired.
