Syd checked her card and nodded, making a horizontal cutting motion with her hand. "I'm set."

"Dang oh well," said Deo. "Not a smoker myself Sydney, but I think a saw some packs in an office room down the Hall. I'll go grab them since I need to sit this one out." In a flash he was back with a pack. He handed it over to Sydney. My combat teacher smoked these a lot. They have a very.. errr.. distinct smell. Hope you don't mind."

OOC: Val, for your hidden card go ahead and roll in a whisper between you and me.
Cal drops a card in front of Gwen, an eyebrow raised.

Lartius walked passed the party room and looked inside. It looks like half of Panem was drinking and playing games. We wanted to join them, but decided to pass. "Nah, I need my sleep for tomorrow." Do you want me to use my baton or pass it off to one of you guys?

Cal looks over Gwen's hand, then looks to Val. "Either of you need another hit? Once you're good I'll deal myself out." "We should devote what resources we can to bringing him down, but I understand the need to keep a shot ready. Maybe shoot two arrows first, see what sticks and go from there. Think you're up for it?"

"hit me," she said with a frown. "No No Cal not like that," she said the alcohol slightly beginning to affect her, "That makes her sound like some kinda...sexfiend." "All I'm saying is that..." she paused, "It would be nice." Sounds like a plan.

Cal nods, noting how Lartius must need a lot of sleep these days. "Take care man, we'll see you in the morning." "Lartius, take whatever actions you'll devote to your swings at Deo now. Once you've done that, report to us what damage you dealt, pass it along to me."

Gwen took a swig of the bottle before passing it to Cal, "Haha, very funny guys. I mean, if by a miracle, Val, you mean a kiss in front of all of our wonderful friends here, well then maybe there's a chance I wouldn't mind being tied down either. That is, if you can tolerate my flirtatiousness while I learn to adjust to the life of domesticity. Change isn't easy, you know." Gwen gave a curious look to Val.

Cal's expression matches Val, feeling concern for them.
"Look, I get what you mean. Have you guys ever just say down and talked about it? Gwen, you strike me as a romantic. Any chance you'd lay down roots with Val?"
He flips over Val's next card.

Sydney accepted the cigarette from Deo graciously. "Aw thanks Deo, I appreciate it. It's a bad habit and none of you should ever do it....but damn this is going to taste so good." She pulled out her lighter from her bag and lit the end. "Go figure I remembered my lighter but not my pack." OOC: haaaa I forgot to include you in the hidden card but it was an 11. the formatting confused me for a second.
Sydney nodded with the cigarette sticking out of her mouth. "I can definitely fire off two and see what happens, but the third is open. And you know as well as I do that training meant I'm not that bad at fighting hand-to-hand should we need it."

"I think you should stay too," Val grinned as she leaned over to plant a kiss on Gwen's lips, "sound good?"
"Oh and as far as actually talking about this card game," she put her arm around Gwen, "I'm gonna have to stay too."

Lartius poked his head out of his bedroom. "Man, you guys make a lot of noise" With the use of my peacekeeper baton, I rolled exactly a 6. I haven't attacked before, but I believe that means 2 damage to Deo (one for successful roll, +1 for the baton)

Gwen smiled at Val and at the strange fluttering feeling she got in her chest. She cleared her throat, "So, uh, yea, is there a more private place where we could do more of that?" she said, gesturing at her lips. "Like a broom closet or something? I mean the dorm isn't going to be private for very long I'm guessing. Unless you really want to finish this card game, but I'm pretty sure there's more levels to this place that we should... explore... too."

Cal gives Lartius a look of mock annoyance. "We're just having fun. Don't worry, get some rest." Sorry Lartius, that's not how it works. Baton does 1 damage and the +1 goes to your attack roll. So at this point you've dealt one damage rolling 7 total, let us know if you make any other attacks and pass it along to me. Cal gives himself a hit as well. MVaY7Jut1d111d11

Cal sighs, he even surpassed Deo's score.
"I bust on 24. If no one is else is hitting, I believe that's game. Since I bust, anyone who's still in play has won. Since we haven't bet anything, we'll just have to settle with each others company."
He smiles over at Val and Gwen, making a motion with his hand for them to move along.
"Looks like you two need some privacy. Don't go too far in your exploration though... there's plenty of games to play tonight."

"Pride, Cal. What you've lost is your pride," Syd laughed as she threw her cards down. "Ah, this is fun. It's been so...surreal this week, I think we all needed this."

Cal raises an eyebrow over to Sydney, a grin breaking across his face.
"Pride eh? I don't know, I think I have that in excess but do my best to keep a lid on it. You are speaking to someone who's taken a Peacekeeper on with his bare hands, found love twice and still managed to live halfway through this whole rebellion."
Cal looked around the room, pleased to see everyone enjoying yourself.
"You're probably right. Maybe this'll be a good memory to latch on to when things become bleaker. So, have you figured out the prize you're looking to claim, Ms. Winner?"

Holly stirred and curled up in a ball. Mumbling to herself she settled back in to sleep. "...ice cream's... cold. gotta get a.. blanket. warm ice cream..." "...you're okay ice cream man, maybe. maybe melt. may the odds...ever... favor..."
ooc: enjoy my real life half passed out rp skills. i came back because i think we're fucking up here. all actions take place simultaneously. if we pass the baton around, we all have it at the same moment, meaning we've multiplied a weapon. this breaks the game. i think we'll get in trouble from mr. game god. night night

Cal smiles over at Holly, shaking his head. "You've got a one track mind. Sleep well, young lady." I think you're right, normally ammo would be a limit for using a weapon multiple times, but it shouldn't resolve like that. If this is the case, Lartius should use his remaining actions with his baton, we'll have to follow up with our own attacks. I'll go ahead and make mine now, we can tally up in the morning.

"Everyone in here's got a little pride. We're not dead yet." She took one final drag before throwing the butt on the ground and putting it out with the heel of her boot. "That's quite a journey you've been on, all I did was find a half-eaten pad of paper in the hospital and lie about an imaginary guard rat."
"There's a couple memories like that, I think. Those kinds of moments make the craziness of this whole," she waved her hnd absentmindedly to prove her point. "My prize? If we ever, and I mean ever, find peanut butter, I call dibs on it. That'll be worth it."

"Yeah...we should probably go look for...food..." Val replied. "I think I may have seen some...where no one else currently is." OOC: I think Holly is right Cal. Because all attacks happen simultaneously only one person can use the baton per day. Though that person can use it for all of their attacks.

Cal smiles at Val and Gwen, glad they're using what time they have left. OOC: I wasn't communicating correctly. I agree with Holly and Val, the baton should only be used by one person per turn, otherwise you break the game. I'd like to have that confirmed with Vester if we can, but your reasoning makes sense. Lartius should commit his actions to attacking Deo considering he has already used the baton on him. I've carried out my attacks myself, one pistol shot and one of my unarmed attacks was successful. That's 3 damage so far (when including Lartius's hit), I'm hesitant to factor in Sydney as a guarantee at this point. She's not able to read this, I'll throw out a dummy whisper to keep her thinking she's in the loop. "Fair enough, I leave all peanut butter spoils to you then Sydney. Compared to the last game, these winnings are much less costly and will create less drama... probably." "I've only landed my hit with the pistol, my unarmed attacks have failed. We're really going to need every attack we can get to finish the job. Val, we really need that pistol shot. Sydney, how have those arrow shots come along?"

Post by Wren Hartwood on Jan 6, 2016 7:29:13 GMT -6
Wren awoke from what must have been a chair-nap in the control room and wandered around. He heard excited voices coming from a room down the hall. He stood outside and listened in for a few minutes before coming in, and wished he hadn't. Wren winced at the words and entered the room with his best attempt at a pleasant expression, although he knew his eyebrows would give his feelings away. "Hey, guys. Looks like it's drinking games part two in here." He tried to laugh, but caught Cal's eye and stopped. "Looks like fun, but I really need to keep my head clear. Plus, it's the middle of the day and I guess I'm more of a night-drinker. I might go actually rest a bit, like in a bed, since my neck's all screwed up from sleeping in that chair." "Deo, it's good to see you again, man. Hope you've been well. As well as you can be in this mess, anyway." He smiled and turned to Sydney, "Oh, and Syd, Nelson wanted me to tell you something." He leaned forward to deliver a message before heading to the dorm room for a bit. "Nelson really cares about you and he asked us to keep you safe. I know the peacebringer decision is yours and yours alone to make, but I feel a responsibility to Nelson and to you as a new friend to let you know that if your actions don't support the accord, it's possible you'll end up on the enemy list. Please don't see it as a threat. I'm just trying to be honest with you, because that's what friends do. Unfortunately, this is a war and I guess people are keeping lists of either who to trust and who to not trust. So...I hope we're able to help protect you."
ooc: I'm asking Jeff about the sharing items/all using the same item thing. Maybe hold off on unarmed attacks until I get news to you, if you can wait. We have 3 confirmed hits so far. ic: "Alright, Val if you're not good at attacking, do you wanna give someone your gun that will have a definite hit? And seems our combined hacks so far are 31. If they stack their hacks, we should consider doing some more to be sure we're on top. We can't risk the damage. I'm assuming Syd's out, so I whispered to her that I want her to be safe as I promised Nelson so I warned her that if her actions don't help us, it's likely she'll be labeled an enemy.....sorta a friendly warning I guess. Hopefully she's smart...And I think we shouldn't count on her hits, unless maybe if someone asks for her energy pill and she gives it away or something." And to Lartius, I've been including: cal, valeria, holly, gwendolyn, and yourself in whispers mainly.
