    When the highest willpower bids are tied I roll dice behind the scenes to see who gets control.

    Mordaenor, you are John!
    You find yourself awake in a jungle of some sort. It's warm, humid, and maybe a little too warm! You decide to stand up and look around: Some trees, sand under your shoes (yes, you are wearing shoes), some plants and some lions.

    You check your watch: 10:32 it says. You guess it's AM. In your pockets you don't find anything but your wallet: You've got 20 dollars, a drivers license, a creditcard and some useless papers you don't know what they're all about.

    WAIT~!
    LIONS!?
    YOU'RE INSIDE THE LIONCAGE AT A FREAKN ZOO!

    Any other person, might flee in terror. Any other person might scream like a 7 year old girl. But not John. He's brave. He's calm. He's... aww who is he kidding. John screams like a 7 year old girl, and quickly tries to scramble up the nearest tree. No where in his extensive study of the Martial Arts did "Sparring with a Lion" ever get taught...

    The screaming seems to have alerted the lions. One is now growling underneath the tree: MY TERRITORY he seems to say.
    The zookeeper comes and liberates you from the cage. Inside the office of the zoo you get a bill: Trespassing cages: 150 dollars and 1 month prison.


    P.S. If you want to do more than that one paragraph action, you're welcome to write it all

    Prison? The Hell with that. They just want us locked up! They know that I know the things that I know!
    Johns arm twitches slightly.
    Run! They can't tell us what to do! Burn it! Burn it to ash!

    Th... Th... The police? This is bad. How do things always turn from bad to worse? Out of the frying pan and into the fryer, as always.

    "No, no, you guys! The lion wasn't saying MY TERRITORY, it was saying MY SCARY STORY! We were telling chilling tales around the campfire, and it was his turn! It would be rude leave him so abruptly!"

    I futilely try and will John's legs back toward the lion cage.

    Mordaenor, you feel your body twitching. Arms, legs, everything seems to want to go somewhere else. At the same time you hear the voices of the others in your head. You're still about to be locked up. A police officer approaches you, handcuffs ready.

    What do you do?

    P.S. Guys, you can't take him over really, only let his arms and legs twitch a bit. Maybe later, when mordaenor is drunk/sleepy/drugged, you'll be able to do more

    "Shut Up, All of you! I'm gonna get us out of this." I settle back into a deceptively relaxed stance as the police officer approaches. As he gets close I let out a "Sorry officer" as my legs snaps around in a jumping round kick, aimed at the policeman's head. With the officer out cold, I bolt for the door. "I ain't goin' to prison..."

    I rush outside, heading for the Zoo's exit, trying to get back to my car. Then I realize three things. 1) I'm not even sure if I OWN a car. 2) If I do own one, I don't currently seem to have any keys to it. 3) If I find both Car and Keys, I don't actually know how to drive.

    So I opt for plan B. Hoping that I'm in a Big City, with Bicyclists, I start looking for a bicycle that is currently not in use. Barring that, I find one that IS in use, and execute a swift backhand, to relieve it of its occupant.

    You escape the guard, barely making it. While running you spot a biker, and kick him off, trying to steal his bike. And although you make it, she stands up and kicks you right in your face. Ouch, that hurts!

    Mordaenor loses control

    Bid willpower!

    The world is still spinning a bit, when you notice the girl coming back at you, to kick and/or punch you again!

    Pollip is in control!

    Groggily, I attempt to recall where I am and how I came to be here.

    'Hmm... Feet hurt... Out of breath... swirling, pulsating patterns of color swimming before my eyes... OF COURSE! I must be at one of those fancy dress balls I'm always getting invited to, on account of my successful political career!'

    Triumphant, I look up and notice for the first time the livid biker standing before me.

    Ah ha! And here is my dancing partner!'
    "Come, love, the night is young, and we must dance the dance of Life!"


    With the grace and panache of Clark Gable, (or so I believe) I grasp the biker lady's hands in mine and twirl her around several times, before executing a flamboyant tango. Around and around the intersection we go, stepping in 3/4 time, heedless of the traffic and angry gestures from passing drivers. As we weave between cars, up and across the median, I hum a spicy latin tune and whisper sweet nothings into my partner's ear. As the dance approaches its climax, I initiate a daring dip, and finish off by kissing the biker lady full on the lips.

    Make a
    WTF? AKA Ballroom dancing: check.
    Remember, it's one of your skills, so you only need a 3 or higher on a d6 roll (use the forum roller)
    How to use the forum dice roller:
    [roll]1d6[/roll]

    1=how many dice
    d=dice (used in every roll 0
    6=number of sides on the dice
    remove the bold when you roll.


    you can also pay willpower points to decrease the number you've got to achieve: expending 1 WP (willpower) makes you only having to roll a 2 or more. 2 WP= automatic succes (unless it's an untrained skill)


    Situation right now: If you make the roll you achieve an Obsession (minor)= +1 point. If you don't = Bid for control

    Roll it, Pollip

    BTW Pollip, you know what happened, your char also. Every Voice knows what happens when the other voices are in control.

    You dance, you enjoy.
    You trance, you smile.
    You feel, you play.
    You kiss her, beginning the day.

    Sorry, I don't know what happened to me...

    Anyways:
    Pollip, you succeeded dancing with her, and kissed her. The cop is still chasing you though. What'll you do?

    Also: Milo v3 Congrats! One lvl 1 obsession fulfilled!

    "You know what they say: Two's company, but police officers suck at dancing! Why, you look famished, my lady! Why don't we take our tour of the earthly pleasures inside for a bite to eat!"

    Picking up the girl in a fireman's carry, I sprint as fast as I can towards the nearest fancy, looking restaurant, yelling obscenities at the police officer as I go.

    You get to the restaurant.
    Someone takes your jacket and asks:

    Can I offer you a table, sir, miss?

    You realize the cop is still chasing us? We need to leave. Whats the point, he'd catch us anyways.
