ROOM 2

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourself in an oversized living room, there are huge chairs, huge tables and huge book shelves. It looks like a child with a permanent marker decided to scribble huge numbers on most of the furniture, gosh, what could that possibly mean?

To the north, there is a dining table that could sit ten people, the table is set but someone left a cushion on top of it. Behind the table there are two large display cases, they are mostly empty, you could probably climb them.

There are couches south, most of them with cushions on them. There are also a couple of small tables and a larger, lower one in the middle, as well as two bookshelves, you can’t see what’s on top of them from where you’re standing, but it looks like some of it might fall down.

Finally, what looks like very far in the east, there is a chair with wheels and a desk, if you’re from modern times you might recognize a desktop computer on it.]

--A computer? [goes over to it]

[grewuptootsun]

A computer where??

[FOLLOWING]

[forthefonofit]

Is that what that is? [peers over your shoulder at it]

[shipwithwings]

What is a computer?

[heteronormative]

Yo! [takes a look around] ...well this is all pretty weird.

[grewuptootsun]

Yeah, a bit.

[oceansoftime]

Yes, um, this doesn't seem much like the other game at all . . .

[shipwithwings]

What is this room? I like it. Everything is a good size.

[grewuptootsun]

Just big enough for you, huh?

[grewuptootsun]

[checking the NUMBERS]

[fraternalorders]

[has no idea what that is :|a]

INSTRUCTIONS

[dramatispersonae]

[READ IT! READ IT ALL. Then poke me for questions, but if you ask me a question I can answer by quoting this back to you, I will EAT YOUR FIRSTBORN]

The floor is lava, jump through the furniture to try to get to the safest spot!

[MAP!1]

* The blue squares are spots for people! If there is only one blue square only one person can be in that piece of furniture.

* The red marks are objects! They will deduct points to your score if you drop them.

* The green squares are cushions! If you are the first person to reach a piece of furniture with cushions in it, you may grab it.
- cushions are IMMUNE to lava, so you may use them as stepping stones.
- once you reach a safe spot, you may lean back down to recover your cushion.
- you may carry up to two cushions at a time, but be careful, people might fight you for them.

* The blank squares are squares you can toss cushions on. You can’t use them elsewhere.

* The purple squares are a computer desk with wheels and a rolly chair. If you make it to one of them you'll get three extra points for your team on top of everything else.

DYNAMICS!

[dramatispersonae]

DYNAMICS!
* Choose to which square you're trying to move.
- The piece of furniture you want to move to has to be linked by a line to your current location.

* Roll a dice by typing roll!1d10 on IRC.
- If you roll the value of the square you're trying to move into or a higher one, your move is successful. (IE, you want to jump to a 5 and you roll a 6)
- If you roll two points or less under the value of the square you're trying to move to you will succeed, but you might drop an item to the lava and get points deducted from your final score. (IE: you want to jump to a 5 but you roll a 3)
- If you roll three points or more under the value of the square you are trying to get to you will fall to the lava, die, and have to sit out the rest of the round. (IE: you want to jump to a 6 and roll a 3)
- If you want to move to a square with a lower value than the one you are currently on, you don’t have to roll.

* You can help other people reach a spot if you are either on the same piece of furniture or on the one they are trying to reach. If you choose to do this, you can roll!1d6 and your points will be added to theirs. This does not make you lose a turn.

* You may choose to skip a turn (or several) if you feel safe and want to chill in your place.

* One round will probably last 6 turns.

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

[OKAY FOLKS, THE KNIGHTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN ARMBANDS SO THEY KNOW WHO THEY'RE PLAYING FOR. A voice booms from somewhere]

Emerald and Citrine, you will work as a team during this game, the same goes for Kunzite and Iolite. You will be awarded points according to where you are at the end of the round.

THE FLOOR IS LAVA!

[the floor does not actually turn to lava, but you have the average strength and skill of an 8 year old child, magic, mindpowers and other abilities are nixed]

[BOOMING VOICE IS BACK]

You may stretch your legs, if you wish. But I advice you to return to your places as soon as the horn blows; Don't try to cheat, I will know.

Re: [INTERMISSION MINGLE]

[grewuptootsun]

I'm doing terribly...

This is rather interesting.

Re: [INTERMISSION MINGLE]

[oceansoftime]

*. . . sits down on one of her cushions* Well . . . I'm a little behind, but other than that . . . so far, ah, so good . . .

Re: [INTERMISSION MINGLE]

[heteronormative]

[stretches] Ain't so bad so far. Sorry we got separated, Violet!

Re: [INTERMISSION MINGLE]

[fairlyheroic]

[just. does some squats to stretch his legs some :|a]

TURN 4

[dramatispersonae]

[You hear a horn, and after that you have approximately 3 minutes to go back to where you were, almost as soon as you're back in your spot, the grounds shakes and opens up and really hot lava pours from under it.

In a matter of seconds, the floor is actually lava. The furniture you're on suddenly feels a lot less safe]

Re: TURN 4

[grewuptootsun]

[BUT WHY]

Real lava?!

Re: TURN 4

[forthefonofit]
