Generica (Team Potato Tree, Thread III)

[Yuki Akuma]

Danny snaps his fingers. "Drat. I was hoping she'd lose." And so, he draws another card!

[TamerBill]

Danny's faith in the heart of the cards dumb luck rewards him with... The Disturbed. Yes, he's Danielle again.

...what? It's disturbing for normal people.

[Yuki Akuma]

Danielle looks down at herself for a moment or two, then shrugs. "Okay, fine." She can just change back later. She hopes.

[TamerBill]

Red suppresses a snigger as he draws his second card.

"...huh. The Sword again. Well, I've never said no to a magic sword before. Blue can have this one."

[Yuki Akuma]

Danielle glowers at Jack. "Are you sure you shuffled this thing?"

[LazyJoe]

Jack placed his hand on the card at the top of the deck.

'C'mon kickass new sword...'

He drew.

[TamerBill]

Jack looks down at the card he's just drawn. It's his least favourite card in the whole game. The card that haunts his nightmares. The card that never fails to send him into the foetal position. Only this time, he's drawn it. He's drawn The Throne. The world itself shudders as King Jack The First recieves his crown....

[Yuki Akuma]

Danielle looks across to Red, and says, conversationally: "Red. If you draw the Throne next turn and revoke Jack's new kingship, I will personally.. uh, polish your katana or something."

It helps that she's ten, so it doesn't actually sound dirty.

[LazyJoe]

(The Imperial March plays in the background...)

Jack stared at the card before him, not even noticing the crown materialising on his head. At first he was frightened, as the Four Horsemen would surely not be far behind his ascension into the realms of royalty. However, the end times did not come, at least in this plane of existence.

And so the Age of Jack was FINALLY made manifest. A million voices seemed to cry out, and were suddenly silenced. All the gods of all the planes cried a single tear in unison. At least, that's how it might have gone.

[TamerBill]

"My turn again, huh?"

She looks at the card she's drawn, and is unable to suppress a smile.

"Hey, Jack, guess it's true what they say. You wait ages for a new monarch and then two come along at once."

With a single click of her fingers Jack's newfound kinghood is cruelly snatched away for him, and Queen Gemma 'Pink' Hikari ascends to the throne in his place.

((OOC: I only wish I was making this up. My d20 has the best sense of irony ever))

[Yuki Akuma]

Danielle stares in disbelief. "Oh, damn, this means we lose, doesn't it? Oh well, it's better than King Jack..."

[LazyJoe]

Jack would have answered, but he was rendered temporarily mute. Something seemed to have broken inside of his brain.

[TamerBill]

"Heh, looks like it's over, boys and girls. Time for the finising blow."

At this point the action switches to Jack's point of view, who was too busy feeling so very very sorry for himself that he is unable to hear the cutting insult dealt by Red, in which his mother was blamed for several historical acts and the introduction of at least one new law. It was a very good insult.

((Edit: 12 vs 11. Ninjas win))

[Gengy]

(OOC: Why? Can't? We? Stop? The? Pain?)

Hicchup looks around at this new turn of events, and whispers a quick word to Howard.

(OOC: PM Sent!)

[LazyJoe]

Jack merely stares dazedly through Red, not really noticing him at all. He doesn't even notice when they shift planes back to what used to be Eunician Embassy.

[Yuki Akuma]

Danielle sighs. "So, what are your terms, then? Come on, give them to us already."

[TamerBill]

The starry background fades as the embassy returns to normal, with a smug Hikari the victor. "Remove the shields now, please."

[LazyJoe]

Jack hears something wrong and snaps out of his daze as if nothing had occurred whatsoever. In fact, he had just repressed the memories of the last ten minutes and to him he'd been in the Embassy all along.

'Danny, what the hell are you talking about. Nobody fought no-one, why are you giving in?'

[Yuki Akuma]

Danielle hmms. "Uh, one second, please?" She concentrates, then 'throws' a small energy ball at the ground! There's a puff of smoke, and when it clears...

Transmutation roll: (3d6+4)[13]

She's still a she. Well, bugger. She facepalms. "Great..."

She sighs, then looks at Red. "Remove the shields? Well, sure. But, ah... neither Jack and I can actually do that. See, we didn't make them. That was Hicchup, and as he wasn't playing, he isn't bound by the game. You really should've challenged us to 3-on-3."

[Gengy]

Hicchup acts. He doesn't know what he's doing. He didn't plan it.

"Where is Blue? This game is not over till a FULL game of three is played."

((OOC: HOLD ON. Game go too fast! Slow down and let's work this out. Off to the OOC thread!))

[LazyJoe]

(Yeah, after months of heavy postage, I think we need to slow down.)

[TamerBill]

"Hmph. So it is all down to the half-orc. Fine. Instead, I command you not to interfere as we take him down."

[LazyJoe]

'Oh no...' Jack said rather half-heartedly, then propped himself up against a wall.

[Gengy]

"I have objections to this." Hicchup decides it's time to do something drastic. "And for that matter... this will quite possibly hurt. Alot."

Hicchup begins calling up alot of his magical power, as it crackles and fizzles around him. With a wave of his hand, he begins casting his PWN Spell, eyes intent on Red.

"Good bye, Red."

Hicchup waves his hand, and brings the fist down... onto himself.

"Patina, please file this under 'Works'." Hicchup yelps.

PWN Spell... on myself, apparently.
(3d6+7)[2][1][1](11) (3Wis, 4ranks = +7)

[TamerBill]

The blast of magical energies causes Hicchup extreme pain, and he begins to fade away into the ether... until he stops. Unable to finish the spell under such torturous conditions, Hicchup collapses to the floor unconcious.

"...suicide, huh? I guess that's one way to avoid judgement. I'll be taking those gems now, Hicchup."

((OOC: Hicchup totally wins the 'Most Time Spent Unconcious Or Dead' award))

[Yuki Akuma]

"Hicchup!" the girl cries, rushing over to the fallen half-orc. She kneels down beside him, staring. "Hi-hicchup..." Her fists clench, and she glares up at Red. "Okay. He's down. Now you're dead." She leaps up, and charges!

Run Really Fast: (3d6+4)[15]
Hit Stuff (With Fists!) (3d6+5)[20]

The girl moves so fast she's simply a blur! She reaches Red, then jumps up onto his shoulders in a flash, before leaping into the air. "Jei Mi School physical technique:" She flips over in the air, then drops down, fist first! "Giant's Peak!"

She's... actually using her father's martial arts techniques now.

[LazyJoe]

Jack was probably going to regret this for the rest of his life, but...

'Taste my rod, colour-coded female ninja!' Nixon, Genghis, attack!

Yes, the Rod of Wonder had made a triumphant return, and its return was directed in Pink's general direction.

[TamerBill]

The rod fires a pink beam at the pink ninja, causing her to freeze in place as his two companions/attack-dogs leap at her immobile form.

"Form Blazing Sword! Ultimate Fire Prince Slash!"

((Nixon: 15 vs 11 = Hit))
((Ghengis: 13 vs 11 = Hit))
((Pink: -2))

Meanwhile, Danielle crashes down onto Red's head, slamming him into the floor with impressive force. The ninja angrily throws her off and conjurs his wings with a thought. Propelling himself upwards he breaks through the roof and takes to the sky.

((Danielle: 20 vs 16 = Hit))
((Red: -1))

[Yuki Akuma]

Danielle flips through the air, landing on the floor in a crouch. She watches as Red flies through the ceiling, eyes wide. "No! Damn, now he's... he's gonna go to the castle, and... Jenny, if you can do anything, now would be a really good time to do it!"[/color] Suddenly, her bandana starts glowing a faint purple!

She collapses to the ground, back hunched, and lets out a scream! Two... shapes burst from his back, sending blood raining down. The shapes turn out to be wings. Large, feathered, and red... no, they shake the blood free; they're pure white. The girl stands, looking back, even as her back heals itself in the blink of an eye. "J..jenny.. You're amazing." She leaps into the air, flying through the hole almost like she was born to fly!

Level-up-get! Kinda. This is my skill for next level, Bill is lending it to me until then.

[TamerBill]

Red wheels around in the sky as the gender-confused ninja/monk/angel/child hurtles up towards him. Pausing in mid-air he draws his magic sword before speeding down towards Danielle to make one swift cut....
