You have just entered room "getupandrp."
TaiarKino: Could always fire out random invites.\
NYClark2: I could.
OMG Priam has entered the room.
TaiarKino: ...
NYClark2: And so could you.
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
LovelyJester has entered the room.
LovelyJester: (HOt damn!)
NYClark2: ( Howdy folks, nothin doin right yet. It's not even out of the oven. )
TaiarKino: (I'd rather a cool damn right out of the fridge...)
NYClark2: ( Or Iced Damn out of the freezer. )
TaiarKino: (Yeah...That's where its at.)
OMG Priam: (I'm going to lurk until I at least play one more Guitar Hero set and finish my transcription work. Probably not in that order.
OMG Priam: )
CGNakibe: (Iced Damn is the best.)
NYClark2: ( Ok, now we have ourselves some people, that's one ingredient for RP down. )
TaiarKino: (Yep...All there is to go is...setting, and characters.)
NYClark2: ( Now, characters and setting. The right mixture can yield the elusive batter to make a legendary RP cake! Let's go, for flavor! )
Besyanteo has entered the room.
TaiarKino: (...I'm gonna be Tai. Probably.)
Besyanteo: (Billynopants? o.o)
NYClark2: ( Hey there )
OMG Priam: (I need to make a new character.)
Besyanteo: (Kay.)
NYClark2: ( Me too, most likely. )
NYClark2: ( The setting shall be the inside of Mount Vesuvius. For some hot RP action. )
Besyanteo: (Alternatively, no.)
Besyanteo: (:o)
Besyanteo: (Your hot molten rock on PC action will have to stay in fanfics)
Besyanteo: (Amusing as it would be.)
OMG Priam: (THAT'S IT my new character is a magma golem =D)
CGNakibe: (dizzy say sol have penix of lava!)
CGNakibe: (Magma Golem? INteresting.)
Besyanteo: (Priam's character is an automoton of LAVA?!)
Besyanteo: (:o)
NYClark2: ( Sounds like something someone else would do. )
CGNakibe: (Is he very friendly and loves to give people big, burning hugs of Love?)
OMG Priam: (Fires of passion and shit)
NYClark2: ( Well, maybe not... it isn't a strange animal, after all. )
OMG Priam: (How many of us have characters in the Guard?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I think Amelia counts)
Besyanteo: (I have one.)
Besyanteo: (Clark had one, but I think he's off active duty until he regains full sanity)
NYClark2: ( I used to, but I don't think he's really in guarding shape right now. )
CGNakibe: (I don't, but Renfield could and possibly should be.)
NYClark2: ( I was thinking of whipping up another one though. )
Besyanteo: (If this turns into a guard RP, I';ll probably use a new one though. It'd feel weird to know my character can technically boss everyone else around, short of Griff himself. o_O;)
NYClark2: ( Yeah, leave the brass at home. )
OMG Priam: (Mm, that may not be such a good idea, then. The Guard RP thing, I mean.)
CGNakibe: (Dark Future! *runs*)
OMG Priam: (We certainly could)
Besyanteo: (*teleports and stabs*)
NYClark2: ( I never really got DF. )
CGNakibe: (*stabbed, bleeds profusely* ;_; )
NYClark2: ( Quick, turn into Cyber mist! )
Besyanteo: (When Lys did it, it was all dance clubs and... stuff)
Besyanteo: (When LMB and Priam did it, it seemed like everything was vampires, vampires vampires.)
Besyanteo: (... and when Ash was there, it jusdt sucked.)
CGNakibe: (LMB loves Vampires)
NYClark2: ( Heh... )
CGNakibe: (And Ash is like King Midas in that respect)
Besyanteo: (Everything he touches turns to shit?)
CGNakibe: (EXACTLY! :D!)
NYClark2: ( Except not gold... yeah... )
T3chn0Namagomi: (Repetitive shit! :D!)
Besyanteo: (Bleh. SO I was never big on DF myself. We could try it though. :{)
Besyanteo: (And I'm just one person. <.<;)
CGNakibe: (*Clones Bes for his amusement*)
NYClark2: ( Well, Priam seems to know the most about it, will it be Vampires vampires and more vampires? Or was that more LMB's doing? )
OMG Priam: (That was mostly LMB and Doc. actually, I think they were the only ones with vamp characters.)
OMG Priam: (Aside from Ash, who doesn't count.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I never got into it, admittedly)
NYClark2: ( Was it a vampire spider? )
Besyanteo: (... oh, damn. Sorry then. o_o;)
OMG Priam: (Nope!)
CGNakibe: (We need to replace our memories of Ash with New Ash. If you catch my drift.)
OMG Priam: (I agree.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (But Old Ash was too stupid to be forgotten, sadly)
T3chn0Namagomi: (After all...two words: Gator. Tits.)
OMG Priam: (He needs to be remembered, so that he does not become repeated)
CGNakibe: (Agreed.)
CGNakibe: (Him AND Darkblade.)
Besyanteo: (SO.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (ARGH!)
OMG Priam: (SO.)
Besyanteo: (Do people want DF? Gaera? Something else?)
NYClark2: ( And Dark Lucifer Lost soul or whatever... )
CGNakibe: (SO and SO?)
OMG Priam: (Let's see a show of hands. Who wants DF, who wants Gaera 1e, who wants Gaera 2g, etc etc)
OMG Priam: (I personally could do MAC. I think that would be pretty fun.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Meh...I don't feel up to anything right now)
Besyanteo: (I've never done MAC, and would be willing to try.)
NYClark2: ( Heh, I was about to (jokingly) suggest MAC. )
TaiarKino: (Ah...Siyun.)
NYClark2: ( But, if folks were going to do it, I'd give it a try. )
CGNakibe: (MAC? I haven't done MAC in... for-freaking-EVER)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I've gotta GM-continue Doomsday Ep.2 tomorrow. Complete with DDS2 music)
Besyanteo: (Heh. You could even use James, technically.)
OMG Priam: (Admittedly, the only thing I know with any detail about MAC is the parts that I wrote up for Inustan during that time period, but it's a neat enough idea that I could run with just that)
Besyanteo: (JAmes whose about 3000 years older that is.)
NYClark2: ( Well, he wouldn't be dead, unless you know... something killed him. )
Besyanteo: (From what I understand,)
Besyanteo: (Mac Gaera is only slightly advanced over us technologically)
TaiarKino: (...With Mechs.)
NYClark2: ( Man... 3000 year old... he'd be like some kind of wise-man. )
OMG Priam: (Aside from giant robot technology)
Besyanteo: (... So it's kind of steam-punk with MAgic and mecha)
NYClark2: ( Steam powered Mecha? )
Besyanteo: (... cyber*)
NYClark2: ( Ahh... )
Besyanteo: (I have someone yelling steam-punk at me in IM)
OMG Priam: (Think what you believe Narshe to be at the beginning of FF6)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...For some scary reason, my most memorable experience in MAC Gaera was inventing Volt Cola and the "Lonely Guy" who pwned the crap out of two of the others on a Warcraft-3 equivalent)
NYClark2: ( I thought present day Valth was like Narshe. )
OMG Priam: (There you have it, then)
Besyanteo: (Heh. I recall being told about an orc who was an RPG forum troll in the MAC school or whatever)
Besyanteo: (So we also aparently have internets)
NYClark2: ( You mean like a Meta-rpg? )
CGNakibe: (Calling MAC steampunk suddenly makes it cooler in my eyes.)
NYClark2: ( Like, our role-playing characters... have role-playing characters? )
Besyanteo: (They could.)
NYClark2: ( I hope they are good RPers. )
T3chn0Namagomi: (I felt present day Valth was more like Nortune.)
Besyanteo: (SO.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (At least, the cities
T3chn0Namagomi: )
NYClark2: ( Nortune? )
T3chn0Namagomi: (Xenogears. Capital of Kislev)
Besyanteo: (IT sounds like people are interested in MAC.)
NYClark2: ( SO! Let's build some mechs and smash stuff! )
Besyanteo: (Any location people like?)
NYClark2: ( Space! )
Besyanteo: (And I'd like to think it's not all about smmashing. :{)
NYClark2: ( Yeah, it might be like Patlabor, with all sorts of useful peacetime Mechs. )
LovelyJester: (PENOIS)
LovelyJester: (I mean. I'm here. what is the up?)
NYClark2: ( MAC might be the up! )
Besyanteo: (Mac. Possibly.)
LovelyJester: (Ah, I will watch from the sidelines then!)
CGNakibe: (ME SMASH.)
Besyanteo: (... without a suggestion, sounds like Doma.)
CGNakibe: (Hmm... I wonder if I should dust off...)
CGNakibe: (one of my old Forest Friends.)
NYClark2: ( Well, we could be on some offshore base. )
Besyanteo: (We could. It'd take us from CI to someone needing to GM though. Wouldn't it? >.>)
NYClark2: ( Hmm... )
NYClark2: ( I thought that since we were so unfamiliar with the setting, someone kind of had to GM at least a bit. But that might be backwards thinking. )
Besyanteo: (... >_>;)
OMG Priam: (I can sort of do that, maybe)
Besyanteo: (fack, brb)
NYClark2: ( Strangely enough, I just got an idea for something. It could just as easily happen in MAC time or present time I suppose. )
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
NYClark2: ( But, maybe that is something to save for another day. )
OMG Priam: (perhaps.)
OMG Priam: (*digs in his text files for a short refresher*)
TaiarKino: (...)
TaiarKino: (...*Yaaaawwwwn*)
NYClark2: ( Hmm... that is not a good sign. )
OMG Priam: (Well, I was waiting for Jason to get back for a fourth hand to do voting)
CGNakibe: (RAR!)
NYClark2: ( Nak! )
TaiarKino: (...I forgot Siyun's color...)
CGNakibe: (If memory serves, its Black, wasn't it? o.o)
TaiarKino: (...Oh!)
TaiarKino: (That's right. Inverted.)
TaiarKino: (Good call!)
NYClark2: ( Inverted... From Inversion. )
OMG Priam: (Tell me briefly about these characters so I can conjure up a fitting setting, if I'm doing the semi-GMing)
CGNakibe: (Siyun blows shit up. Real good. >;P)
NYClark2: ( Of course I need to know more about the setting so I can try to conjure up a fitting character. )
OMG Priam: (What is this I hear about a 'forest friend?')
NYClark2: ( You don't have to live in the future to blow shit up, even real good. )
CGNakibe: (I'm considering using Ranma. A wood-elf who joined the team early on and then... vanished, I guess. His mecha was the Stryfe, a sort of odd cross between a really fast mecha and a defensive powerhouse.)
CGNakibe: (Stryfe's main bits were a gun attached to its "tower" shield. And his "Tekblade", a boomerang with various impact-delivery cartridges.)
CGNakibe: (As for Ranma himself... he's a fairly young elf who is sort of laid back in everything he does... hits on the ladies fairly often too. He's got the whole bish sparkle thing going for my amusement.)
OMG Priam: (I'm down with this. Anyone mind being in Inustan, which has been determined to be the place to go for inexpensive parts and variant customizability for the Mecha?)
OMG Priam: (And for lots of fighting?)
NYClark2: ( Nope. )
TaiarKino: (...Hmmm...May have trouble fitting Siyun in there, but I shall try!)
OMG Priam: (Talk to me about Siyun briefly)
NYClark2: ( Although I wouldn't mind being able to start off with a character who is in training, so we can get familiar with the goings on, together. Does Inustan have any acadamies worth going to? )
TaiarKino: (Uh...Argovian Human male, Mage type academy-student-what-have-you, Prefers a battle suit than riding passenger in someone else's mech. He loves to experiment with his spells and try to create new works of magical art...)
TaiarKino: (...However, he more often than not, ends up blowing him and everything around him up.)
OMG Priam: (Not any that are named. Finding pilots who teach, however, is not a difficult endeavor, and a lot of them advocate buying a piece-o-crap Mecha and joining some of the low-level battle tournaments to get a feel for combat)
NYClark2: I guess that either works better than a simulator, which might not even exist.
OMG Priam: (Indeed!)
NYClark2: Oops... - that either*
NYClark2: ( And plus those ( )'s * )
NYClark2: ( Do they exist? )
OMG Priam: (I wouldn't think so. We'll presume not. Basic navigation stuff, like how to turn a Mech on, that would be trainable by some primitive sim, but combat stuff? No way)
TaiarKino: (He has trouble taking things seriously a lot, but can get down to business when bugs from outer space are eating your fellow students alive...Light Hearted.)
NYClark2: ( Sounds like a friend worth knowing. )
OMG Priam: (Indeed. *thinks of starting point*)
NYClark2: ( The info on MAC is pretty sparse, a bare outlining of the three "classes" hmm... looks like setting and system are linked in this case... any suggestions on which of the three is the simplist to start with? )
OMG Priam: (I wasn't aware of these classes, and am tempted to say 'fuck 'em' and just run with a character concept)
TaiarKino: (...Probably a good idea.)
NYClark2: ( Sounds like a good idea. )
NYClark2: ( Reading bad info is worse than no info at all in some cases. )
Besyanteo: (Back)
TaiarKino: (Well...The info isn't bad. I think when the Board RP was made, it was a fitting way to start things...In a Char CI now though, probably should give yourself some freedom.)
OMG Priam: (Yo.)
Besyanteo: (Ey)
NYClark2: ( Welcome back. )
OMG Priam: (We've pretty much decided to run some MAC in Inustan.)
OMG Priam: (Since, like, that's what I know. *thumbsup*
OMG Priam: _
OMG Priam: )
OMG Priam: &
Besyanteo: (RICER MECHS! *rocks out*)
OMG Priam: (Indeed!)
CGNakibe: (*starts peeling your flame stickers off your mech*)
Besyanteo: (*Key's shaun's Mech*)
OMG Priam: (So shall we start at a low-bracket competition, then?)
NYClark2: ( Were do Harley Mechs come from? )
Besyanteo: (... Keys. Totally.)
NYClark2: ( Where* )
OMG Priam: (Maybe Valth? I'm not really sure)
Besyanteo: (Doma does some good stuff allegedly...)
NYClark2: ( I'd like to see a show like American Chopper, except with Mechs. )
Besyanteo: (I think Doug was kept the fuck out of it, for that reason)
NYClark2: ( Out of what? )
Besyanteo: (MAC, haivng Valth be like: "I PWNZORZ J00 ALL WITH MY 1337 MECHAS LAWL")
Besyanteo: (Because, atleast at the time, he seemed to be trying to do weird crap like that alot? *shrug*)
NYClark2: ( Well, that's the past. )
NYClark2: ( Now, for the future! )
Besyanteo: (And, totally missing the point aside, we're in Inustan anyway.)
CGNakibe: (The Future is Forsaken. >:{)
Besyanteo: (... HA!)
Besyanteo: (I remember that game!)
OMG Priam: (Pervy says Thelahassan countries would probably have some good business, but it has yet to be sorted out)
NYClark2: ( How old would academy students generally be? )
OMG Priam: (However old they need to be)
OMG Priam: (The Inustani don't care, whoever wants to learn learns. If they're five years old, that's cool. If they're sixty, that's cool too)
OMG Priam: (So long as they pay the bills)
CGNakibe: (Gib Me Moneh!)
Besyanteo: (*Gibs Shaun by dropping a pile of money weighing a metric ton on him*)
CGNakibe: (RAMPAGE... KILLING SPREE!)
NYClark2: ( That's one way to use coin toss. )
TaiarKino: (*Eats Gib for health*)
Besyanteo: (Hmm. A character...)
TaiarKino: (*Uses the patented Gordon kick and breaks boxes*)
CGNakibe: (Max: YEAH! ^^)
Besyanteo: (We're doing a tourney in Inustan?)
OMG Priam: (Mechanics would be fairly common here, as would miners and recyclers. As are combatants, and envoys from other countries spying out good equipment and good pilots)
OMG Priam: (I think we're using a low-level tourney as a starting point, just to give us an anchorpoint)
Besyanteo: (Ah, that's a thought. I've been thinking on a mechanic for a long while now.)
Besyanteo: (I need to name him though. Hn.)
NYClark2: ( Well, I was thinking of making a green as grass mech pilot. )
NYClark2: ( Yeah, a name... )
Besyanteo: (Guh, too bright. There.)
Besyanteo: (... *Scrolls up*)
NYClark2: ( I could just have him be a distant relation to one of my little used 1st gen characters... 2000 years is plenty of "buffer" between them. )
CGNakibe: (Need More Pylons!)
Besyanteo: (Too many greens in here.)
OMG Priam: (Mine is incidental, if that mattesr)
OMG Priam: (*matters)
CGNakibe: (Just reminding you to eat your veggies, dear.)
NYClark2: ( I was thinking of using this, if it isn't too eye hurting )
OMG Priam: (In fact.)
Besyanteo: (*breeds chocobos with Shaun's font*)
Besyanteo: (... shit)
CGNakibe: (Oh, forgot to tell you. Ranma is a mech as well. Surprisingly he's not much of a Tek.)
Besyanteo: (brb)
NYClark2: ( ::Harvests Nak's font and puts it in the shipping bin:: )
Besyanteo: (Knocked a bunch of crap into my printer paper loader. This should only take a minute.)
LovelyJester has left the room.
Besyanteo: (RIGHT. WE SHOULD TOTALLY DO THIS.)
OMG Priam: (HELLS YEAH)
NYClark2: ( TOTALLY! )
Besyanteo: (Kick it off with a setting description for us?)
OMG Priam: (EVERYONE GOT NAMES?)
NYClark2: ( Not yet. )
Besyanteo: (I'm stealing one from a web-comic and calling it good 'nuf.)
Besyanteo: (Clark: What species is your character?)
OMG Priam: On the western side of the Bichon province, a large, mostly empty junkyard has been used, very recently, for a 'newbies' tournament. The prizes are tiny, comparatively speaking, but the experience is invaluable.
NYClark2: ( What else? Human. )
Besyanteo: (William, Burke, John, Michael, Jeremy! For a quick pick off the top of my head)
OMG Priam: This dilapidated sector of town still echoes with the clangs and booms of collisions and gunfire, respectively, from the event, and the novice mechanics are figuring out their particular trades now as well in the aftermath.
OMG Priam: Outside the fences, the pilots convene to talk about the matches. Some to shit-talk, some to share observations and instruction, all to wait for their mechs to be done with the necessary repairs to make them fully workable again.
OMG Priam: Good match back there. How long you been training? A nekonian pilot, (Jason)'s most recent opponent regards him.
Besyanteo: (Going with Korik. :o)
OMG Priam: (Whoops)
OMG Priam: (Clark, not Jason. Unless Jason is being a pilot, too.)
Besyanteo: (Didn't plan to.)
Besyanteo: (Though this character could be if he really wanted to.)
CGNakibe: *meanwhile, a young, blonde-haired wood elf just continues to watch the novices brawl.*
NYClark2: Ahh, a bit. This tournament is actually part of my training.
NYClark2: ( oops... )
NYClark2: A few months, mainly in the simulators though... ::seems a bit embarressed::
OMG Priam: Oh? Your mentor must have confidence in your abilities. You still need practice, though, or you'll get ground into the dirt. So keep it up. He slaps (Clark)'s shoulder with a gloved paw.
Besyanteo: *A half-orc watches from the side-lines, looking interested. He appears mostly human, but he's very heavily built, with the easily recognizable green skin of his people, and a very large brow ridge. He wears...*
NYClark2: ::Slapped, shifts forward a bit from the force:: Heh...
TaiarKino: *Leans back against Ranma's back and looks to one side, catching the elf in the corner of his eye* So when you getting out there, eh?
CGNakibe: ... with THIS crowd? How bout half past never.
NYClark2: Thanks... ::Extends a hand:: I'm Hector... Burke.
CGNakibe: *leans back* I mean, it'd be unfair to the rest of these guys if I went down there, ya know? *grins*
Besyanteo: (...)
NYClark2: ( Thanks Jason ^_^ )
Besyanteo: (Trillian may go die.)
Besyanteo: (It just ate my post. e.e;)
NYClark2: ( Try to repost? )
Besyanteo: *He's wearing a Doman-flag-bandana, like a cap over his bald head, dark sun glasses...*
OMG Priam: *shakes* I'll be watching you, Burke. I expect you to practice, practice, practice, until you are ready for the big leagues.
Besyanteo: *a black leather coat open, jeans, and gigantic looking black boots. He's holding onto a bike helmet, and standing next to the chopper it goes along with*
CGNakibe: ... well, that and the fact that Stryfe is in the shop right now. Trouble with the left leg actuator. ^^;;
OMG Priam: Do you have a mechanic?
Besyanteo: *looks over!*
OMG Priam: Of your own, I mean. Not your mentor's.
NYClark2: ( Do I? )
Besyanteo: (I think that's a question of money)
Besyanteo: (Wasn't it directed at Shaun though?)
OMG Priam: (No, it was at Clark.)
Besyanteo: (Ah, kay.)
OMG Priam: (And that is your call. Do you? =O)
NYClark2: ( Shaun was talking to Tai's character. )
Besyanteo: (KAy then.)
NYClark2: Not presently.
TaiarKino: ...Ooooh...Good save, Good save. I wouldn't want to acuse you of being scared or anything...
CGNakibe: >.> Who, me? Scared? I'd be insulted if I didn't know you didn't mean that. >:{
Besyanteo: *at (Shaun)* What's the actuator doing?
OMG Priam: You might want to start looking around, then. A good mechanic is very important to a pilot.
OMG Priam: >v>
Besyanteo: Or, not doing as it may be.
TaiarKino: Yeah...That sorta spoils the insulting you thing. <.<;;....Couldn't you humor me?
Besyanteo: *If that Nekojin's glaring at him, he's not payying it any mind.*
CGNakibe: Eh? *looks at (Bes' Character)* Oh, not much, just occasionally has current fluctuations. Could very well damage the motors if I left it like that.
Besyanteo: ... Huh. That should be an in and out job them. o_ó
Besyanteo: (... DAMMIT TRILLIAN)
Besyanteo: (>:!)
CGNakibe: Motor's custom, Made it myself.
Besyanteo: ... Ah.
Besyanteo: *Uh oh. What does THAT mean? :o*
CGNakibe: And it gets rather finicky with the standard parts. Just plain won't work with a good majority of em. Either it'll lose pressure too fast, or blow up.
OMG Priam: I would love to stay around and chat, but I am afraid I have other business elsewhere. It was good to meet you in the ring, Burke. *bows a little*
NYClark2: ::Nods:: Good to meet you too.
Besyanteo: IF you don't mind a strange mechanic's asking, I'd love to have a look at it later.
NYClark2: ( Sorry, got an IM from a friend of mine. Distraction should be over. )
OMG Priam: *walks off towards his Mech, speaks with his mechanic briefly, and leaves*
CGNakibe: Hm. Well, there's a few problems with that.
CGNakibe: First off, I don't even know your name, stranger.
Besyanteo: *unphased* Korik.
CGNakibe: Ranma. *holds out hand* Pleased to meet you.
Besyanteo: *shakes*
Besyanteo: (Ranma: ... I forgot the second one. o_o; ... Gottagobye)
CGNakibe: Second, which one of the mecha out there was yours??
CGNakibe: Just curious as to the work of a fellow mechanic...
Besyanteo: None. I'm technically on vacation from my mechanic job in Doma with the MAC, but...
Besyanteo: *he looks out on the contest field* I'm in love with the things.
CGNakibe: Surprised you're not a pilot, then. 's what I do.
TaiarKino: *Off handed* Bleh...Too bulky...
OMG Priam: Shouts go out for the next round of competitors to sign up.
CGNakibe: Siyun... its NOT too bulky. e.e
Besyanteo: Eh. Piloting's not my thing. Building them though...
CGNakibe: You know fully well that I've got the boosters ready for the extra load of the shield.
Besyanteo: putting together a machine that can jsut tear through the other guy's like paper, and then fine tuning it to be even better...
TaiarKino: ...<.<...Just a little...
CGNakibe: Ah. Makes sense to me.
Besyanteo: *wow. Don't gasm on us guy.*
NYClark2: ( Mechgasm )
Besyanteo: (James: ... I feel strangely disturbed, yet intrigued.)
CGNakibe: ^^ Wow. Sounds like you like mecha even more than I do, Korik.
Besyanteo: ... Heh. Sorry about that. I kinda get sappy about my job sometimes. >_>;
Besyanteo: (looks like it'll be NPCs battling?)
CGNakibe: As for myself, as soon as I could I found a mecha I could use and modified it.
CGNakibe: Sure it was that piece of crap XP-2004 model that everyone was using 10 or so years ago, but I always thought that one had potential.
NYClark2: ::Looks over his mech... his Mentor's mechanic is taking care of it, but that won't last forever:: How's it look?
Besyanteo: *Thinks. How DID that model do in it's time?*
CGNakibe: You know, get better armor plating on it, optimize it a bit for efficiency so that the thing doesn't drag as much as the normal models for starters...
CGNakibe: (It was bog-standard for the time. Comparatively the things are a bit clunky, but they were reliable for most things. Somewhat light armor)
TaiarKino: (...Like the Leo of the MAC world.)
OMG Priam: Not too bad. You have to watch your coolant flow meters, though. You don't want that to lock up on you in the middle of a life-or-death situation. *chomps on a cigar*
Besyanteo: *he nods* SOunds like a good deal.
Besyanteo: (... e_e)
CGNakibe: For some reason, though, Siyun doesn't like the weight of it. I mean, sure it drags a bit with the tower shield I've got put on the thing. But that's why its removable.
CGNakibe: >.> But then considering what YOU like, Siyun, I'm not surprised.
CGNakibe: *chuckles and leans back* My mech has the advantage of not blowing up, though.
TaiarKino: Hey, I'm a mage! If I'm not fast on the battlefield...I get squashed by the monstrosity you drive. >.>...
Besyanteo: Hm? >.> *looks over curiously*
NYClark2: ::nods at the answer:: Ok, I'll keep that in mind.
Besyanteo: Heh. I can relate to the need for speed...
OMG Priam: I'd say as soon as we get your fluid levels back to par and double check those cockpit safeties, we should be pretty much ready for another session.
OMG Priam: Try not to land flat on your back this time, all right? Brace your fall with an arm!
TaiarKino: ...And My battle armor does not blow up...I do. Occasionally.
TaiarKino: Jaden Fai is a perfectly working piece of machinery. <.<...
Besyanteo: The one my Pilot runs is a smaller custom unit. It can't take much itself, but it's damned good at avoiding hits. Even gunfire, when things work out right.
NYClark2: ::nods:: I need to work on my reaction time.
Besyanteo: Still not as fast as I'd like though. We haven't had the funds to get it away from a bipedal stance.
CGNakibe: HAH. ONLY occasionally? >.>
TaiarKino: ...Fiiiine. Often. Is that better? <.<...
Besyanteo: If we could jsut get a decent set of spider legs...
CGNakibe: Bipedals are pretty good for most stuff, though. But you're right, you should probably spring for a quadraped stance as soon as possible to get that extra speed.
Besyanteo: *aparently off in his own world now*
CGNakibe: Yes, Siyun, that's better. *Multitasking indeed. ^^*
Besyanteo: Hm? Oh, yeah.
OMG Priam: *pats him on the shoulder* That is what we're here for.
Besyanteo: For now I'm just happy that I managed to get it a weapon-system that doesn't rely on the pilot to conserve ammunition.
NYClark2: Thanks. I shouldn't be so nervous. It's not like this is a real battlefield.
Besyanteo: He really needs to learn to shoot better. 6_6;
TaiarKino: *Looks at Korik* Could always load a mage in the backseat...No better weapon system than another person.
NYClark2: But, I'm so worried about making mistakes...
OMG Priam: It's as real as YOU'RE getting for a while! Don't forget that if you let your attention wander, you are surrounded by some 40 tons of scrap metal!
Besyanteo: We've considered it. *shrug*
OMG Priam: You should be fine, but don't let your guard down. Ever.
Besyanteo: IM: But that's a whole other story. <.<;
NYClark2: Heh, I try not to let that bother me.
Besyanteo: For now, it's light enough we can get it to jump decently.
Besyanteo: So I gave it some drills, and some grapples. Works well in tournaments.
Besyanteo: Get on the other guy's back and just lay in.
CGNakibe: Good enough for tourneys, but what happens when proper grips aren't provided for you, eh?
Besyanteo: I know. I haven't broken it to the pilot that not everyone's gonna be forced to circle around with him till he can get them in the real world.
Besyanteo: *grumblemutter*
CGNakibe: Eh. Its his problem. You just try to fix it. *shrugs*
NYClark2: ::Nods:: Yeah, I won't.
OMG Priam: Signups for the next round end in five minutes! If you want in, come to the desk now!
Besyanteo: THat's the problem with being the Mechanic. You can't fight for them. You can just try to make it better for what they do with it.
NYClark2: Ok, ::Takes a deep breath:: time to go to it.
CGNakibe: Ain't that the truth. At the very least I decided that being a pilot would let me see how well my designs worked.
Besyanteo: ... Another concept we were thinking about. Not sure how well I like it yet.
NYClark2: ::Heads over to the signup desk::
CGNakibe: Turned out I wasn't too bad at running the things either.
OMG Priam: Take care out there.
CGNakibe: Hm?
NYClark2: I will.
CGNakibe: It better not be rocket hands. I've seen three people out there just TODAY use rocket hands, and two of them got KOed the moment they couldn't retrieve the damn things.
Besyanteo: We're thinking about clearing out some space in it for another seat. So when he's fighting, if something vital breaks down, I can work on it while the match is still going. Just enough to keep everything running safely.
CGNakibe: ... Question.
OMG Priam: We're starting a new trend this week. Do we have any veterans out there?
Besyanteo: *Waits for the inevitable question*
CGNakibe: If you're thinking of all that, why hasn't your pilot taken on a mage, eh?
NYClark2: ::Signs up for the next round::
CGNakibe: Hm? *listens*
CGNakibe: Ooooh.
Besyanteo: ... *silent*
CGNakibe: Hey Siyun. Wanna sign up?
NYClark2: IM: That counts me out.
CGNakibe: As a team, maybe? Just to shake things up? >:D
OMG Priam: *Hector is able to sign up. What do they have planned? =O*
TaiarKino: ...Eerrr...
Besyanteo: (Siyun: No. YOu'll step on me. ... AGAIN.)
CGNakibe: >.> What?
NYClark2: IM: Maybe the vets are going to fight in the round after this.
CGNakibe: You KNOW I've got extra room. You don't have to watch out for giant feet.
Besyanteo: ... You said it wasn't working. >.>
TaiarKino: ...Man...I hate sitting in the backseat though. ;;>.>...
CGNakibe: Ah, but I never said I couldn't fix it, though.
Besyanteo: True.
CGNakibe: Just don't have the proper parts to fix it for LONG.
NYClark2: ( But long enough to whip some butt in the next match! )
Besyanteo: (... I jsut realized.)
NYClark2: ( Hm? )
CGNakibe: ( Hmm?)
Besyanteo: (For anyone who watches FMA, I just made male orc WInry. Without realizing.)
Besyanteo: (WHOOPS.)
CGNakibe: (HAHAHAHAHA)
CGNakibe: (I'll remember not to insult Korik's automail.)
Besyanteo: (Heheh.)
NYClark2: ( FMA has mechs? )
OMG Priam: No veterans out there??
OMG Priam: *shouted from the entryway*
CGNakibe: Hold on a sec!
CGNakibe: Siyun?
Besyanteo: (FMA has cybernetic mechanical limb replacement)
CGNakibe: Not interested, I take it? <.<
Besyanteo: (Winry is a character who devotes her life to it)
Besyanteo: (same concept, different machines)
TaiarKino: ...Eh, What the hell. I'm in!
CGNakibe: So lets go, then! *runs over to sign up*
TaiarKino: *Follows after his buddy*
Besyanteo: (What system does MAC use? I'd heard Window, but I don't remember when or from who.)
OMG Priam: (Window is good for me, since it's awesome)
Besyanteo: (Keen)
Besyanteo: (... DAHG.)
NYClark2: ( Hm? )
Besyanteo: (it keeps eatting my fonts. ;-;)
Besyanteo: (Arr.)
CGNakibe: (Not really knowledgable with Window and suchlike, but eh.)
Besyanteo: (in Window, low rolls are better.)
OMG Priam: (It's all good, we'll walk you through the process)
TaiarKino: (Neither am I, but hey...Learn on the way.)
Besyanteo: (1-6 succeeds.)
CGNakibe: (I remember it somewhat. Anything below 4 wins, right?)
Besyanteo: (d4 is godly, d6 is master, d10 is very skilled, d12 is average...)
Besyanteo: (d20 is bad)
Besyanteo: (roll as you think appropriate to the character for whatever needs rolling.)
Besyanteo: (Damage: )
NYClark2: ( I'm nor familiar with the meat and potatoes of the Windows system, but I do know how the windows die rolls work. )
Besyanteo: (Essentially, if oyu're mature, you can do this logically without a system.)
CGNakibe: (Aramis Baneblade: *rolls d20 for Charisma* >:{ )
Besyanteo: (So that how Window handles it.)
Besyanteo: (SO. If you think your mech is tew hawt 2 trot at speed, roll a d10.)
Besyanteo: (Ifi t's armor is SHIT, roll a d20. etc.)
Besyanteo: (there's also d30 and d50, but that's like...)
Besyanteo: (THat's worse than someone who doesn't know how to do something.)
Besyanteo: (That's like if you're tying your shoes with broken fingers.)
NYClark2: ( "Malfunction... zzz zz zz zzz." )
OMG Priam: *regards the other two.* You two here to sign up for the combat training sessions?
CGNakibe: You said something about veteran pilots sessions, right?
OMG Priam: Well, not quite.
OMG Priam: Hey, maybe we could...
OMG Priam: *whisper*
OMG Priam: ......
OMG Priam: hey, that's not a bad idea.
TaiarKino: ...
TaiarKino: ...*Tilts over to Ranma* ...Isn't it always a bad idea for us when they say that?
NYClark2: So... what did I just sign up for, exactly?
OMG Priam: We were just thinking you could coach a newbie by comm while they were in the battle, but if you want to step into the ring against all...*counts on the list* eight registrants, then I think that would be pretty useful training, too
OMG Priam: .
Besyanteo: (CAGE MATCH?! ... no wait, that isn't right...)
CGNakibe: ... >.> You were right, Siyun. Pretty bad idea.
NYClark2: ( Aren't all the matches sort of cage matches? )
CGNakibe: What sorta newbie you want us to coach, eh?
Besyanteo: (It's a joke. MEant mostly for a breif 'heh'. :o)
CGNakibe: (Hell in a Cell! :D!)
NYClark2: ( Summer Slam! )
CGNakibe: (I'll bring the folded chairs ^^)
Besyanteo: (Burke: What do I do?!)
CGNakibe: (... one of these days I'll do a wrestling RP. Just for the hell of it.)
NYClark2: ( Mechamania XVI )
Besyanteo: (SIyun: Go for the self destruct! >_<)
Besyanteo: (Ranma: ... I was gonna say use the rockets, but that sounds more fun.)
OMG Priam: We were thinking him. *points to an Inustani pilot, looks like he's starting to figure things out, but not as much as he thinks he is*
OMG Priam: *who looks
CGNakibe: What's his loadout?
TaiarKino: ...>.>...This is your territory now. All I can do is...comment on whether he's doing well or exploding.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Well, explosions are best when done by the best, you know.
OMG Priam: He's piloting Owdee, which is that one over there. *points to a Mech. It is well-kept, but doesn't have any particularly strong parts to it. A really good mech for a weef, though.*
TaiarKino: Which is why I would be the one to judge whether or not he's exploding sufficiently!
CGNakibe: Besides, I'm pretty confident... but... 8 opponents in a row? With just us?
CGNakibe: Its a bit much.
CGNakibe: Eh. There's worse mechs than that one. Better ones, too.
CGNakibe: *thinks* Who's his mechanic? Does he have one?
OMG Priam: In a row? Oh, no, we were thinking simultaneously.
OMG Priam: I mean, there ARE two of you.
NYClark2: ( Oh my god... that would be insane. )
Besyanteo: (*One hour later...*)
CGNakibe: .... Maybe I'm crazy, but that almost sounds fun. >.>
Besyanteo: (Korik: ... I'd help, but even I can't turn slag back into a mech. o_o;)
TaiarKino: ...If you wanna try. <.<...Stryfe is gonna be the one taking hits, not anything of mine.
NYClark2: That sounds... chaotic.
CGNakibe: Except for the part where my mech kinda blows up and stuff.
NYClark2: ( You are going gray, Tai. )
CGNakibe: ... rebuilding most of the major components would SERIOUSLY piss me off.
TaiarKino: (Weeeird...I am...)
CGNakibe: (He's fading away!)
Besyanteo: (Nah, he's just turning white to prepare for his self destruct sequence.)
OMG Priam: I think we could fund your repairs with the best, if you'd be willing to try it out.
Besyanteo: (All mechs power up before exploding, you know.)
Besyanteo: (Also: It'd figure there's a single reference to Gundam made earlier, and I'm already thinking of stealing the concept of Mobile Dolls. :{ )
CGNakibe: *thinks*
CGNakibe: Siyun, if this interests you at all, I suppose I could try it... Assuming you really ARE going to fund repairs and stuff. >.>
NYClark2: ( Get it in writing! )
OMG Priam: *looks to Siyun*
TaiarKino: ...Is it 8 fighters against us or an 8 man melee? >.>...
CGNakibe: Sounds more like a melee to me.
OMG Priam: Teams, actually. *looks to some other guy, who is gesticulating wildly.*
OMG Priam: And it looks like one of our competitors has dropped out, so you two against seven others.
OMG Priam: Most of these guys know just how to move and punch, so I don't think it should be terribly dangerous.
TaiarKino: Not very veteran at all then...>.>...I'm up for a party, Ranma.
NYClark2: IM: Not dangerous, for the vets.
OMG Priam: We were mostly hoping to teach these guys some basic tactics, and how to not hit eachother.
OMG Priam: *giving him kind of a WTF look*
NYClark2: ( Which him? )
OMG Priam: (this guy.)
OMG Priam: (The signup dude.)
NYClark2: ( Ahh... )
CGNakibe: Hm.
CGNakibe: Sure, why not. Just want those repair papers in writing, if you don't mind.
Besyanteo: *Korik just watches all this, looking amused. They should be fine. ... No garuntees on the machine, the way the second clerk was acitng, but...*
NYClark2: ( For some reason I thought it was a sign-up "dudette." )
Besyanteo: (acting* even.)
OMG Priam: No problem. *jots something down, scribbles what passes for a signature, presents it.*
NYClark2: ::Watches, waiting to find out if this even goes through.::
CGNakibe: Hm. *signs it*
OMG Priam: *shouting* We have a slight alteration for this round!
OMG Priam: All the competitors, please board your machines and power up.
NYClark2: I'd better get ready. ::runs over to his mech::
CGNakibe: (... crap. I'm getting pretty tired, compounded by the fact I have to be up mediumly early in the morning. >.<)
NYClark2: ( Can you muster enough energy to kick ass a bit? )
CGNakibe: (I'll try.)
OMG Priam: (We can finish this in about 20 minutes, I'm thinking.)
CGNakibe: (Alright.)
NYClark2: ::Looks to the mechanic, as he boards the mech:: This next match is going to be insane... you might have some work ahead of you.
OMG Priam: *gets a loudspeaker, once everyone is suited up.* You all will be fighting at the same time! Not against eachother, but against these two. *gestures, indicates for the two veterans to step out and present themselves*
NYClark2: IM: I wonder how many of my temporary teammates know that those guys are vets.
CGNakibe: *a rather plain-looking mecha with a large shield comes out. Although the mecha isn't scary at all, the nasty demon-face on the shield is good enough to scare the crap out of many folks*
CGNakibe: Comm: Hey Siyun. Naughty or nice? >:D
TaiarKino: ...If all they can do is punch, I don't think they'll be doing much damage to this golem anyhow. Boring though, let's make it quick. Naughty. *Grins*
CGNakibe: Comm: Just like I like it.
OMG Priam: All of you are on a team, you are allies! Your job is to try to score hits on these guys! Attack them any way you see fit, but do! Not! Hit! Your teammates!
CGNakibe: Comm: *snickers* If they haven't learned THAT yet its no WONDER they need training.
TaiarKino: ...Daaaamn...If only I had Jaden Fai. Just zip around between their legs and let them do all the work!
OMG Priam: Last team standing will be declared the winner! Any questions?
Besyanteo: (random NPC: I need to go to the bathroom!)
OMG Priam: (PISS IN YOUR FUCKING PANTS SOLDIER)
CGNakibe: Loudspeaker: Yeah, I got one.
NYClark2: ::Hector's mech was made specifically for this tournament, inexpensive parts, but good tuning. Light to middleweight. Nice manouverability. Okay...ish... armor::
CGNakibe: Speaker: Did all of you remember to go BEFORE you left the hangar? *chuckles*
OMG Priam: *The mechs stir a little at the taunt.*
NYClark2: ( No idea as far as armaments go, though. )
OMG Priam: If there are no questions, then everyone leave your bays and arrange yourselves around the junkyard wherever you want to be, and we'll begin.
OMG Priam: (You probably have some sort of striking fist and basic ballistics. Nothing terribly expensive or impressive.)
Besyanteo: (guns? MAgic? melee attachments?)
CGNakibe: *stomps out of its bay... perhaps sounding quite heavy to the rest of them.*
Besyanteo: (OR that. :o)
OMG Priam: (That is your call, on the magic thing. It might be good to have on the mech if you're planning on learning how to use it well)
NYClark2: ::Notices a few eager folks practically shoving thier way to the front... lets them be, and takes a position near the back, and a bit to the side::
CGNakibe: IM: Might as well keep this on the level. No Blade, just the high-density armor on the shoulders.
NYClark2: ( What sort of magic would a mech have? )
CGNakibe: *adjust adjust, think*
CGNakibe: (Whatever the user can cast and the mecha's Ether Amps can handle.)
OMG Priam: (Fire shells, beam weapons, that kind of stuff. Xenogears type deals.)
NYClark2: ( It is far too bad that I never played Xenogears. )
OMG Priam: (Indeed it is!)
NYClark2: ( Hmm... )
OMG Priam: Everyone ready?
CGNakibe: (Always liked Xenogears' ideas for mecha, by the by.)
TaiarKino: *Juggles a little bit of lightning between his fingers* Comm:...So...Whaddya think, 5 minutes?
CGNakibe: Speaker: Ready as I'll ever be.
OMG Priam: In five seconds!
OMG Priam: FIVE!
OMG Priam: FOUR!
NYClark2: IM: Don't let my guard down...
CGNakibe: Comm: Better be. That patchwork I've got only lasts that long.
OMG Priam: THREE!
OMG Priam: TWO!
OMG Priam: ONE!
OMG Priam: *loud gunshot*
CGNakibe: *speeds out of his position immediately... well, for a mecha carrying a heavy heavy shield that counts as speed...*
CGNakibe: *looks around quickly for some cover before things really get to heat up*
OMG Priam: *three of the weefs jump forward, trying to punch and/or kick Stryfe, but they whiff, not having accounted for his movement. Another one rocket-punches at him!*
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
CGNakibe: (Sentinel: ROCKET_PUNCH.)
OMG Priam: *And ends up clipping one of his teammates! Sucka!*
Besyanteo: (Hahahahahaha)
NYClark2: IM: Most will focus on the larger target... but, that's probably what they want. ::moves mostly laterally and tries to get a bead on the smaller one::
OMG Priam: Another one aims for (Crap, can't remember the other mech's name), with a small-scale missile.
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 1 16-sided die: 10
OMG Priam: A narrow miss, but a miss nonetheless.
TaiarKino: (Siyun is riding passenger in the Stryfe.)
NYClark2: ( That's not what we thought... )
NYClark2: ( Oops... )
OMG Priam: (It's all good)
CGNakibe: (Yeah, I thought Siyun was racing around like normal.)
TaiarKino: (Oh, Really? <.<...Hmmm...He and I would prefer.)
OMG Priam: (Yay =D)
CGNakibe: Comm: HAH.
TaiarKino: (Okay, scratch what I said, He's in the Jaden Fai!)
CGNakibe: *turns towards the mecha that lost its hand and... ducks down behind his shield?*
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 12-sided die: 9
NYClark2: ( That'd be a miss, I believe. )
CGNakibe: *A compartment opens up and fires a chaingun at the mecha*
OMG Priam: *The newbie takes the gambit and swings, in a grandiose gesture that is wholly ineffective except for propelling him away from the chaingun fire.*
CGNakibe: Comm: Least they can dodge.
TaiarKino: (...Is there a battle order? Or...>.>...?)
OMG Priam: The fifth and sixth newbies appear to be biding their time. (Clark?)
TaiarKino: Comm: Bullets maybe. Let's see if they can dodge lightning...*Chuckles*
OMG Priam: (We'll go with this order for now. Stryfe, Clark, then Jaden Fai, with a few newbies dispersed healthily about.)
TaiarKino: (Can do.)
NYClark2: ::Still moving to flank the two of them, he fires a beam at the smaller one after the missiles whip by::
NYClark2: ( Wha'dya think, d12 or 14? )
OMG Priam: (Go for 13, for shits)
NYClark2: ( Sounds good )
OnlineHost: NYClark2 rolled 1 13-sided die: 9
CGNakibe: (Lucky 13, eh?)
NYClark2: IM: Damn... way to draw attention to yourself... focus!
TaiarKino: (Aw...All the Artwork seems to be gone...Hoping to see that pic of Siyun in his Battle Armor again.)
OMG Priam: (Jaden Fai!)
TaiarKino: *Screams forward straight fowards a Mech on his blades, pointing the fingers of his battle armor forward and conjuring up a simple lightning spell for the young'uns...*
OnlineHost: TaiarKino rolled 1 10-sided die: 8
NYClark2: ( These are some good dodging youngins )
CGNakibe: (Indeed.)
OMG Priam: This newbie's mechanic saw this possibility, and had the mech grounded particularly well, it seems, for the lightning strikes but does minimal damage.
TaiarKino: IM: Ooooh...Not a great start...>.>...
OMG Priam: Stryfe, in the meantime, has found that the best nearby cover is a stack of various joint mechanisms of various states of disrepair, which can be used to put something between himself and his targets.
OMG Priam: (Stryfe!)
CGNakibe: Comm: So much for the little guns, eh?
CGNakibe: *turns towards another mecha, and lets loose another round from his shield's chaingun*
TaiarKino: Comm: We'll actually have to do some work now...Psssh...
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 12-sided die: 12
CGNakibe: (... ow.)
OMG Priam: *click, click....jamming noise*
CGNakibe: ... CRAP. >.<
CGNakibe: Comm: I was hoping to have some fun too.
OMG Priam: Two of the newbies take this as a cue to try the time-honored BASH HIM move.
TaiarKino: Comm: ...Guess the leg wasn't the only thing broken on that Behemoth. >.>...
NYClark2: ( Chansu! )
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 2 16-sided dice: 12 11
OMG Priam: They have yet to master the art of cooperation, however, as each goes for the glory and gets in the other's way.
NYClark2: ( And bash each other instead? )
OMG Priam: (Clark!)
CGNakibe: Comm: Just a gun jam. That's why I don't normally USE this thing much.
NYClark2: IM: I had a feeling that would happen... but, now is another oppurtunity. ::Goes for the "behemoth's" flank and sends out another beam::
OnlineHost: NYClark2 rolled 1 13-sided die: 9
OMG Priam: Stryfe's shield does its job well, deflecting the beam harmlessly into a pile of busted crap.
TaiarKino: (...I never really described the Jaden Fai did I...)
NYClark2: IM: Shit... I shouldn't have expected to take a vet by surprise.
OMG Priam: (Nope!)
OMG Priam: The same one as before seems to think a second try will do better with a missile, lobbing it at Stryfe.
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 1 16-sided die: 16
NYClark2: ( Now I am imagining the mech throwing the missile, rather than firing it. )
OMG Priam: It explodes in a flash of fire, taking the missile module completely off the frame, and injuring the mech's right arm. Bad times for newbies!
TaiarKino: (It's more of a suit of Mechanical and Cyber armor than an actual Mech, standing at a height of only 9 feet. Also equipped with Ether Amps that extend Siyun's magical prowess into Mech sized damage, and a set of mean magically...)
TaiarKino: (propelled Rollerblades for quick movement on the field. Of course, as you would imagine, it has virtually no defense as a result.)
OMG Priam: Two more turn their attention to Jaden Fai...
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 2 16-sided dice: 8 5
NYClark2: ( A hit! )
CGNakibe: (But MAN is it fast.)
TaiarKino: (Ouch...)
OMG Priam: One stomps, finding nothing but ground, and the other lands a football-style tackle, its arm hitting the battle suit square on.
NYClark2: ( Err... that's not gonna crush Siyun, is it? )
CGNakibe: (That'll definitely sting.)
OMG Priam: (Nah, it's mostly going to throw him back and jar him around a little bit)
CGNakibe: (Black Knight: Tis only a flesh wound.)
TaiarKino: *Tackled by the Mech and thrown backwards, tumbling along the ground in his armor but eventually catching onto his feet and rolling to a steady stop* Comm: Damn!...I've never been tackled by a mech before. Wasn't too bad.
OMG Priam: (Jaden Fai!)
NYClark2: ( Tackle guy is going to get it... most likely. )
OMG Priam: The last newbie seems to be repositioning himself around the junkyard, trying for some sort of tactical approach.
TaiarKino: IM: Still though...Ass. *Takes off and circles around the Mech that tackled him, flexing his wrist back and forth, a red glow emcompassing his gauntlet. Siyun raises his hand, puts his thumb and ring finger together and...*
TaiarKino: Mustang Burst. *Snaps his fingers, a bolt of red lightning flying forward at the Mecha...*
OnlineHost: TaiarKino rolled 1 10-sided die: 5
NYClark2: ( A hit! )
TaiarKino: *Becoming an explosion of fire in midair without warning.*
CGNakibe: (Roy Mustang: A perfect attack like mine wouldn't do otherwise. e.e)
OMG Priam: The poor bastard is stuck on the ground after the tackle, trying in vain to figure out how to heave himself back up, when the fiery shot rifles through his ride.
OMG Priam: The mech freezes in place, as a work of art in struggling to rise to his feet, all movement systems having shut down.
TaiarKino: (Wooo! Go Mustang!...He rocks.)
CGNakibe: (He does indeed. He STILL reminds me of Nakibe somehow, though.)
OMG Priam: (Stryfe!)
CGNakibe: Comm: Forget this!
CGNakibe: *Plants his shield into the ground, and comes suddenly CHARGING out at the nearest unfortunate soul to him, shoulder first*
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 10-sided die: 1
TaiarKino: (...Ooooooo. Wreckage.)
NYClark2: ( >DESTROYED< )
CGNakibe: (Gotta love the extra boosters on that thing.)
OMG Priam: This bastard, equally poor, finds himself violently propelled towards a pile of junk, where a spare axel rod pierces the center of the mech, disabling its central processing systems. Down for the count.
OMG Priam: Two of the other newbies fire off rocket fists, suddenly not wanting to be near Stryfe.
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 2 20-sided dice: 1 14
CGNakibe: Comm: .. probably need to tweak the boosters too. They're giving me less than normal output.
TaiarKino: (Duel Wreckage!)
OMG Priam: *CLANGO.*
NYClark2: ( Rocketto Paanch! )
OMG Priam: The sound of metal clanging against metal is extremely clear in everyone's ears as the fist crunches into Stryfe, beating far enough into the armor that it actually damages a few systems.
CGNakibe: Comm: FUCK! >.<
OMG Priam: Another hit like that, and there will be very serious problems.
OMG Priam: (Clark!)
TaiarKino: Comm: Damn, You messed that guy up. And got messed up. That's Feng Shui for you...or something. ;;;>.>...
CGNakibe: *loudly cursing in elvish. Yep, someone's just a TAD pissed*
Lithaladhwen has entered the room.
OMG Priam: (HI)
Besyanteo: (Heyo)
NYClark2: ::Having been trying to flank him the whole time, that sudden charging forward let him actually get behind him, still at some distance though, so off with another beam. No need to wind up like the other guy::
OnlineHost: NYClark2 rolled 1 13-sided die: 13
NYClark2: ( Sheet... )
NYClark2: ( Agh... the power doesn't last. )
Lithaladhwen: (Hay guyz.)
Lithaladhwen: (What's going on in this RP?)
NYClark2: ( Giant robots! )
OMG Priam: The beam power conduit fizzles, and is done for the day.
Besyanteo: (Tourney. I'm sorta jsut hangin out now, as my character's a spectator.)
OMG Priam: The other two newbies try to step on Jaden Fai...
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 2 20-sided dice: 11 16
CGNakibe: (Not the best two-step ever.)
OMG Priam: And Jaden's ridiculous speed manages to easily propel him past their feet.
OMG Priam: (Jaden!)
CGNakibe: (Perhaps they need more dance lessons.)
NYClark2: IM: Dammit... so much for keeping my distance.
TaiarKino: *Skids to a stop, kicking up plenty of earth in the process. Siyun turns around and kneels, putting his hands on the ground and sending magic surging through it. A brown aura comes alive near one of the stompers...*
TaiarKino: StrongArm Blow. *A relatively slow moving but large in mass structure rises out of the ground, vaguely shaped like a fist...*
Lithaladhwen: (*lurks to silently support RP*)
OnlineHost: TaiarKino rolled 2 10-sided dice: 9 2
CGNakibe: (*renames Jaden to "Radical Goodspeed"*)
TaiarKino: (Whoops.)
TaiarKino: /roll -dice1 -sides10
TaiarKino: (...Dammit!)
NYClark2: ( oops again... )
OnlineHost: TaiarKino rolled 1 10-sided die: 6
TaiarKino: (There we go.) This earth fist moves for a Stone Uppercut...!
OMG Priam: The stomper finds that his foot is displaced by the fist, and he loses his balance--sending him completely off guard for the fist's impact. He goes over the junkyard's fence. RING OUT!
OMG Priam: The newbie who was dancing about the scenery earlier emerges from behind a pile, brandishing a large knifelike implement, making to stick it into the back of Stryfe.
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 1 12-sided die: 8
OMG Priam: Too slow, though, as Stryfe's arm moves out of the way, and grabs his attacker's arm in turn.
OMG Priam: (Stryfe!)
CGNakibe: HEH. >:D
CGNakibe: *keeps ahold of his attacker's arm and turns him back towards his shield as boosters open on the Stryfe...*
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 10-sided die: 4
OMG Priam: (You write this one. Be creative =D)
CGNakibe: *Stryfe rams the newbie into his own shield with hefty amounts of force.... Looks like they may NOT be using that arm again without some EXTENSIVE repairs.*
NYClark2: IM: Man... it certainly looks like these guys were toying with us before...
CGNakibe: Sorry to crush your dreams, pal.
CGNakibe: But you folks have made this a VERY bad day already. e.e
OMG Priam: Two of the three-and-a-half remaining newbies go to kick at Stryfe, since he kind of looks busy with that other sucker.
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 2 16-sided dice: 12 5
OMG Priam: Stryfe manages to find time to block one with the shield, but the other finds pay dirt, bending metal inwards. A festive spray of error messages appears on Stryfe's visual output....
OMG Priam: Stryfe is still capable of defending itself, but one more hit will probably put it down for a while.
OMG Priam: (Clark!)
CGNakibe: Comm: Someone. Will. PAY for this. eVe
OMG Priam: The other fully-functioning mech looks to Hector's, as though indicating that they should work together.
NYClark2: IM: Here I go...
TaiarKino: Comm: The people running this gig are, remember? >.>...
NYClark2: ::Boosts towards Stryfe and...::
OnlineHost: NYClark2 rolled 1 12-sided die: 12
Besyanteo: (FACEPLANT)
OMG Priam: The other guy opens fire at Stryfe, hoping to throw him off before Hector gets there...
NYClark2: ( Oh man... )
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 1 16-sided die: 9
CGNakibe: (RE-JECTED)
NYClark2: ( This isn't going to be good. )
OMG Priam: Not only does he miss, but he kicks a clod of dirt up into Hector's exhaust manifolds, causing the boost system to overheat and shut down.
CGNakibe: Comm: Sitting Duck!
OMG Priam: The guy who lost his arm....well....he's still kind of shocked about that, yeah.
OMG Priam: (Jaden Fai!)
NYClark2: IM: Shit! ::puts his arms out to catch his fall as per the earlier suggestion::
OMG Priam: Normal motion still works on Hector's mech, so he is able to catch himself before he tips over from momentum--but the boosting system for particularly speedy bursts is kaput for the time being.
TaiarKino: *Cuts through the battle arena towards Stryfe, a fairly wide path of ice following his ever twist and turn* Comm: Guess I should get around to supporting you like a good compainion, eh?
Besyanteo: (This is a very loooong 20 minutes.)
OMG Priam: (My bad =( )
Besyanteo: (*sends Priam to the 1970's internet*)
NYClark2: ( We weren't expecting so many misses. )
OMG Priam: (Stryfe!)
TaiarKino: *Circles around and the Ice continues forward, growing out of the ground into the shape an Asian dragon, it's maw wide open and ready to sink its frosty fangs on the mech that shot at Stryfe*
OnlineHost: TaiarKino rolled 1 10-sided die: 9
OMG Priam: (Or not!)
CGNakibe: Comm: What? And have your explosions too close to the sensitive equipment?
TaiarKino: (Okay, go. ^^;;...)
TaiarKino: Comm: Hey, I switched out to ice!...
OMG Priam: The dragon, impressive as it is, does not apparently feel it is quite in range of the target. It does look neat, though.
OMG Priam: (Now, Stryfe!)
CGNakibe: *Stryfe bends down, and pulls his TekBlade from its ankle-holster. Now there is a large mech with an equally large boomerang, folks!*
TaiarKino: (Hiraikotsu! *Wooshwooshwooshwoosh...)
CGNakibe: *turns and tosses!*
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 9-sided die: 9
Besyanteo: (...)
CGNakibe: (...)
Besyanteo: (That's happening way too often.)
CGNakibe: (... and that's the best he has too. Well, close to it.)
OMG Priam: The boomerang flies straight towards its target, and bisects another newbie mech.
OMG Priam: .....and keeps going.
OMG Priam: .....and going.
OMG Priam: .......how far is that thing going to go?
OMG Priam: Man, that's going to be a bitch to retrieve =(
NYClark2: ( Wall'd )
CGNakibe: Comm: FUCK. They put the retrieval system out. >.<
Besyanteo: (Doman Embessy: *CRASH*)
Besyanteo: <_<;
Besyanteo: IM: this is gonna be one hell of a repair bill.
CGNakibe: Comm: Secondaries won't kick in for a while, too.
OMG Priam: Maybe ever. A streak rises up from the ground, as an artillery shell intersects with the potentially-hostile projectile.
TaiarKino: Comm: Eh...Not many of them left. Maybe you won't need it.
CGNakibe: (I have just one thing to say to this.)
CGNakibe: (Omlette Du Fromage.)
Besyanteo: (That's all you can saa~ay!)
Besyanteo: (*repeats forever*)
CGNakibe: (*weeps* ;_; )
OMG Priam: Two mechs left, plus Hector, and then the veterans.
OMG Priam: The two other guys start falling back.
OMG Priam: (Hector!)
NYClark2: IM: Gun is out, Boosters are out... not much left...
Besyanteo: (Could someone log this and send it to Neb? I promised too, but I need sleep and am not a vital character. :o)
OMG Priam: One of his compatriots ejects.
OMG Priam: (I will log it, so I will send it.)
CGNakibe: Comm: Looks like I was right.
Besyanteo: (Thanks PRiam)
NYClark2: ::Tries this move again... sans boostering and...::
OnlineHost: NYClark2 rolled 1 12-sided die: 12
Besyanteo: *And then... his watch goes off* ... Damn.
CGNakibe: (.....)
NYClark2: ( I am cursed... )
TaiarKino: (...My condolences...)
Besyanteo: *the big orc man gets on his bike, puts on his helment, and rides off*
CGNakibe: (Did someone forget to sex up the dice gods? >:{)
Besyanteo: (Also: ... if the dice kept doing that in PS, this'd be awesome.)
OMG Priam: (You're damn right, I haven't gotten any in a long time)
CGNakibe: (It would be.)
Besyanteo: (*gives Priam a hand-job, and sleeps*)
Besyanteo has left the room.
TaiarKino: (The dice always know exactly which way not to roll...)
NYClark2: ( But that is how luck works... if we decided to switch it to PS style rolling right now, the high rolls would be OVER )
CGNakibe: (Eyup.)
OMG Priam: Hector's mech lurches forward, only for the control mechanism for the left foot to slip out of Hector's grasp. The whole thing tumbles over and Hector ends up, prone, right in front of Stryfe, as though bowing.
OMG Priam: (Jaden!)
TaiarKino: *Considers Hector fairly harmless for the moment and moves to remove that one mech that didn't eject out of the competition...*
OnlineHost: TaiarKino rolled 1 10-sided die: 2
NYClark2: IM: Dammit... it's probably over for me...
NYClark2: ( >REMOVED< )
TaiarKino: I'll get some use of this dragon yet! GO! FROST KUNLUN!! *It charges with the rage of a thousand blizzards*
TaiarKino has left the room.
OMG Priam: Only about twenty of those blizzards were needed, it seems, but the other nine hundred and eighty frost the whole mech over in a solid, if weird-shaped, block of ice.
NYClark2: ( Sounds like a MMX boss.. )
NYClark2: ( ... whoa... he sure went all right... )
TaiarKino has entered the room.
OMG Priam: Only about twenty of those blizzards were needed, it seems, but the other nine hundred and eighty frost the whole mech over in a solid, if weird-shaped, block of ice.
OMG Priam: K.O.!!
OMG Priam: (Stryfe!!)
TaiarKino: (Cursit. Right in my moment of gloooory!)
CGNakibe: *turns to Hector, sees him, takes a half-step back... and goes for the goalposts with a VICIOUS kick*
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 10-sided die: 2
CGNakibe: (Glory is best when shared. *nodnod*)
OMG Priam: Hector's mech rolls, rolls, rolls, into a pile of trash. Its main systems are down, and the whole assembly begins to smoke.
CGNakibe: (*mentally thanks Bes for the help.*)
CGNakibe: Comm: Fucking little shits managed to stress half the fucking systems. >.<
CGNakibe: And I JUST RETUNED the damn things.
OMG Priam: A loud horn blares to signal the fairly obvious end of the competition, and medics, volunteer firemen, and mechanics rush onto the scene.
NYClark2: ::Tries in vain to move:: IM: Yep... it's over. Man, am I in for it. Nothing but mistakes.
TaiarKino: Comm: Niiice Cleanup...Well, That is the cost of battle, isn't it? *Skates calmly over to the Stryfe and stands by its leg*
CGNakibe: *the chestplate on the Stryfe opens, and Ranma slowly clambers out*
CGNakibe: *sighs* I suppose its my own damn fault. But this... THIS is gonna take WEEKS. >.<
TaiarKino: *Takes the Helmet of the Jaden Fai off* That's also the cost of making everything yourself. ;;;>.>...You should seriously train a monkey to help you or something...
CGNakibe: *... loud clanking can be heard from a couple of the motors as they grind to a halt. From inside the cockpit can be heard "Error in the secondary booster circuits..." repeatedly*
CGNakibe: ... *sighs again* I suppose that at least means the newbies have aim when they aren't aiming at each other.
CGNakibe: Looked like two of em weren't too bad.
CGNakibe: (Ken, you have a background and your normal colors again.)
TaiarKino: (...Damn. Good pointing!)
NYClark2: ::Exits the mech, and gets a look at what the outside damage looks like::
OMG Priam: Holy shit, that is a lot of bent plates and crushed joints.
TaiarKino: One managed to tackle me. That guy must be a marksman or something...;;;>.>...
NYClark2: IM: They'll probably be rushing over here any minute and the yelling will commence.
CGNakibe: The guy with the beam-laser wasn't so bad, I suppose. Needs to work on his aim.
OMG Priam: The mechanic shows up at Hector's cockpit, and makes a wild gesture that is similar to the motion of popping the cockpit hatch.
NYClark2: ( Err... he already got out. )
OMG Priam: (Oh, whoops.)
TaiarKino: ...Probably handle better than the incoming freshman at the academy. Glad we got into this though!...Was good for the kicks. And I didn't blow anything up I shouldn't have. *Sage nod*
OMG Priam: *fire extinguisher-ing!*
CGNakibe: For once.
CGNakibe: (Okay, now I really, REALLY must get something vaguely akin to sleep.)
OMG Priam: Hey, kid, you all right?
OMG Priam: (Thanks for sticking around =( )
TaiarKino: Once is better than never.
NYClark2: Huh? Yeah... mostly shaken up...
CGNakibe: ... true, true.
NYClark2: ( Totally, and thanks for kicking ass. )
NYClark2: ( Even if that included mine. )
CGNakibe: Anyway, I'm going back to the hangar. After I calm down a bit I'll come back out, see what the damage really is.
NYClark2: ::He has a few bruises from the impact but nothing major::
TaiarKino: I'm gonna stick around and watch the clean up. Usually I'm the one who has to do it...;;;>.>...Nice to see others for once.
CGNakibe: Alright then. Later!
TaiarKino: (Taaaake care there, Texan.)
TaiarKino: See ya later. *Gives a sorta saluty thing with two fingers*
NYClark2: ::Shakes his head:: That didn't go too well... did it?
OMG Priam: A bunch of mechanics have already surrounded Stryfe, chatting amongst themselves in surprise that the thing is still operational.
OMG Priam: No, not really. But you were up against seasoned combat veterans, I'm not sure you had a chance to win in the first place. But did you at least learn well?
NYClark2: I learned that a disorganized team can be as bad for your health as the enemies.
OMG Priam: Hah! Good lesson to take home, Heck. *patpat* Now run along and let me do my job. Looks like that one guy's hanging around, you might want to talk with him and see if you can glean anything interesting.
TaiarKino: *Leaves the Mechanics to their work with Stryfe and circles around the arena on his skates, watching the large mech-cicle espcially* ...Wonder if they got that guy out.
NYClark2: ::Nods:: Ok, sounds like a good idea.
NYClark2: ::If he can catch up to a guy who has flying skates.::
TaiarKino: *Lets say he's standing still and watching the mech-cicle. So Hector does!*
OMG Priam: Probably not, considering the ice seems to be unbroken so far...But they have a team carrying a large ladder up, and a few blowtorches at the ready.
NYClark2: Excuse me... umm...
NYClark2: ::Looks at the mech-cicle...:: Man... I'm glad I'm not that guy...
TaiarKino: Yeah. Me too. ;;>.>...I'm gonna feel really bad if he's frozen in his cockpit or something.
NYClark2: You mean that could happen? So much for this event "not being dangerous."
TaiarKino: Ah...Well, It's probably insulated well against that sort of thing. I'm just keeping options open? ^^;;...
NYClark2: Ahh...
OMG Priam: ("Well, I was thinking about just exploding...")
TaiarKino: Yeah...So what's up?
OMG Priam: The blowtorch guys get to work. It is clear that it's going to be a bit before they get through to the cockpit. Chisels and picks are discussed.
NYClark2: Well, I was wondering if you had any advice or words of wisdom to impart.
TaiarKino: ...Words of Wisdom? *Chuckles* Wow...No one has ever asked me for those before. Hrrrrrm...
NYClark2: I mean, you guys are good, and it showed. Novices or not, there were seven of us to your two, and you wailed us.
TaiarKino: Yeah...But I mean, don't beat yourself up over it or anything. We went to school for this kind of thing.
TaiarKino: Regardless...I don't know a thing about piloting mechs! You really came to the wrong guy about it. ^^;;...I guess...uh...it all comes down to knowing your style?
NYClark2: Ahh... ::nods:: I'll... keep that in mind.
NYClark2: Hmm... I thought it was a bit unusual, your using a power armor in this match. Weren't you worried about getting crushed?
TaiarKino: Sorry if its a little vague. ^^;;...I mean...If you're twitchy, you obviously won't fit your mech down with custom sharpshooter parts. Maybe it all comes down to custom work on your mech...*Looks up thoughtfully for a moment*
TaiarKino: Ah, see. This is my style. *Nods* I've been in the situation before...and I'm fairly good at avoiding stomping feet. ^^;;...
NYClark2: I guess I haven't exactly figured out my style yet.
TaiarKino: Never know unless you try it all!
NYClark2: Yeah, but how many chances do you get to do that?
TaiarKino: Uh...well...<.<;;...Damn. I dunno, how often do they run something a fight like this?
OMG Priam: Weekly =O
NYClark2: Uh... pretty often I think.
OMG Priam: The torches have been abandoned for welding instruments, in the meantime.
TaiarKino: Hey, then you'll get that much time to experiment with things. *Nod Nod*
NYClark2: ::Nod:: I definitely need some more training.
TaiarKino: That goes for all of us. Never a reason to quit...Unless your latest experiment sends you to the emergency room.
NYClark2: Yeah...
NYClark2: Speaking of which... how long has that guy been in there? ::looks at the mech-cicle::
TaiarKino: ...I have no idea. Maybe I should help them with it or something...
NYClark2: Maybe... Before you do. ::Extends a hand:: I'm Hector Burke.
TaiarKino: Ah! *Takes his hand in his Armor Gauntlet* Siyun Badoa. Nice to meet and do battle with ya.
NYClark2: Likewise. I'm sorry I wasn't able to introduce myself to your friend as well.
OMG Priam: They seem to be getting the cockpit area gradually unsealed, by chopping out a massive block of ice in front of it.
NYClark2: You guys had much better teamwork than we did.
TaiarKino: ...Arguable we had any teamwork at all! Up until the end, we generally did a...you do your thing I do mine sort of manuver.
NYClark2: You still managed not to shoot each other in the foot.
TaiarKino: Yeah...Musta caught me on a good day. My friends know me for blowing everything around me up: Good, Bad, and Indifferent.
TaiarKino: ...Maybe they're exagerrating a little bit though. >.>...
NYClark2: I should hope so.
TaiarKino: Still, We've been fighting alongside for a bit though, and friends for longer. Maybe it stems from that...and some formal training.
NYClark2: Where did you train?
TaiarKino: MAC Academy.
NYClark2: In Doma? That place is famous.
NYClark2: ( It is... right? )
OMG Priam: (Sure =D)
TaiarKino: (I don't even remember anymore! I think it was...and it had an elitist rival in...Valth, or something.)
TaiarKino: ...Is it? <.<;;...Damn. I guess it loses its luster once you actually attend there...
NYClark2: Well I've heard that the best come from there. No wonder...
TaiarKino: Ah...I don't think you could say that from just Ranma and Me. ^^;;...
TaiarKino: (I think I need to head off to that big bed in...my room.)
NYClark2: ( Yeah... )
NYClark2: ( This was good. )
NYClark2: ( Let's hang out in the future again sometime. )
TaiarKino: (I need to RP more. Hoohah...I rust like the day is long.)
TaiarKino: (Anyhow...See ya peoples later.)
TaiarKino: (...Tomorrow.)
TaiarKino: (...Today. A couple of hours, actually. Yeah...)
TaiarKino has left the room.
OMG Priam has left the room.
