He took the handle and spilled the liquid into his gullet, before slamming it down violently on the table. Such a noise that would be disrupting, providing had it not been hushed by the murmuring of others.

More men would occasionally wander in, dripping with water, blood on their hands, their varying weapons their waste also stained. They simply got a drink from the barrel in the corner and seat themselves, not looking at each. They're their own company. The booming sound of the outside crept underneath to the whole room.

Perhaps it's time to leave.

Two weeks have passed since the battle with Yamato. So much damage was caused during that fight, you're all still recovering from it. The most obvious effect you're all still reeling from is Rei. She still hasn't woken up, and has been confined to a bed in Tekina's office. Akira rarely leaves her side, and you've made sure to visit her every day. Class 3 meanwhile are still picking up the shattered pieces of their psyche in silence. You heard that Taka recently decided to pay visit to the girl he put into a coma, but Akira wouldn't allow it. From what you've heard, Taka was a real jerk even before Yamato started controlling him, but even he's capable of remorse.

There was a stranger occurrence in the aftermath of that battle, however. Or rather, in the aftermath of Alice arriving in the real world. In the past two weeks, there has been no sign of the Darkworld. None at all. It was confusing at first, when night would come and you weren't transported into that dimension, but as it kept happening over and over again your emotions changed from confusion to relief to eventually, for whatever reason, fear. You never thought you'd feel afraid of the Darkworld going away... but what's terrifying you is the unknown. Nobody has any idea why the Darkworld has decided to go dormant. If what Yamato said was true, the place Alice held dominion over wasn't the Darkworld, but rather a mirror image of her own design. Did the act of her creating that world and causing it look into ours somehow seal the real Darkworld off? Whatever the reason, Alice has remained little help, with her answers cryptic and her mind wandering.

Speaking of Alice, the school staff were so confused on what to do with her. At first, she was given a bed in Tekina's office, where the nurse could peacefully run experiments and Alice had a place to stay. At some point, some genius had the thought that they should re-enroll Alice as a student, and trying to give her the education she never had. She got dumped into the first year class and things kind of... mellowed out from there.

The last two weeks haven't all been pain and confusion, however. Oddly enough, bandying together to fight a common enemy really brought the students of Class 2 closer together as a group, and as the first terms exams have finished up and as summer vacation is on the horizon, you can safely say that the entire class feels like a tight-knit group of friends, even those who never got along to begin with. From Akio and Ken, to Rini and Sayeka... hell, you and Saki are now openly the best of pals. Sure, the two of you still argue all the time, but that comes with the conflicting personalities.

The Darkworld seems to be gone, though nobody truly believes it's gone for good. Still, this blessing has allowed Dark Gate Academy to function as a normal school for a while, with the students being afforded much more time to hang out, have fun, and learn a lot more about each-other every day.

“Good morning! We made you guy's breakfast!”

For instance, today's the day you learn that Saki and Hoshi can't cook.

“I don't think eggs are supposed to be this... darkened,” Ken mumbles.

“O-oh... is there something wrong with it?” Hoshi whines in her high-pitched voice. Damn, she looks about ready to start the water-works already.

“No, no! There's nothing wrong!” Ken protests, waving his hands. “It looks delicious!”

“It better!” Saki crosses her arms, smiling. “We worked real hard on that! The least you could do is be appreciative!”

Yeah, but you don't remember asking Saki to make the whole dorm breakfast.
“So Ryoji, are you coming tonight?” she asks.

You raise an eyebrow. “Coming to what?”

Saki pouts. “There's a festival being held in town tonight, remember? I want the whole class to come along!”

“A festival? This is the first I've heard of it,” you reply, trying to eat what little of the egg on your plate isn't completely blackened.

“But I've invited you tons of times!” Saki exclaims.

You shake your head. “What? No you haven't!”

Saki smirks and slams her hands down on the counter before dramatically pointing at you, like she was some kind of fancy lawyer about to make her big case. “A-ha! I knew it! I added those invitations to the bottom of every written warning I've issued you in the last week for your delinquency! If you don't know about the festival, then that means you haven't been reading them!”

“Wow... that's pretty smart...” Hoshi mumbles, impressed.

Saki beams proudly. “Yes, once again the delinquent Ryoji Shida has been thwarted by the Saki Kobashi, Ace Detective!”

You give a sarcastic slow clap. “Wow, you got me. I'll admit it, I never read any of your stupid written warnings. I supposed I'll be serving 25 to life for this heinous crime?”

Saki huffs. “If it were up to me, yes! Now, answer the question! Are you coming to the festival or not?”

>No need to yell. Of course I'll go.
>I'm afraid I'll be busy tonight doing literally anything else.
>I'm certain that if I said no, you'll find a way to drag me along anyway...

========
-Combat-
========
Roll using dice+1d10 (unless otherwise noted) in options box

Initial Hit - The first attack in a bout or the attack used to strike an opponent who has fumbled. If you hit, your opponent must dodge roll. If you miss, you have fumbled and can disengage but cannot attack again until your opponent has done so. Hits are only valid if posted with three complete sentences.

Disengage - Disengage posts must be four complete sentences detailing your getaway and must be posted before the defending anon strikes back to be validated. Even numbers are successes. If you fail a disengage you have failed completely and must wait for your opponent to either attack or ignore your antics.

Dodging - After being attacked you have the opportunity to make a dodge roll. Even numbers equate a successful roll. Odd numbers mean you failed the roll and are struck. Successfully rolling leads into an immediate counter, and your opponent must now make a dodge roll. Successful dodge rolls must be two complete sentences long to be valid.

Autohit Counter (AHC) - Counters and critical strikes rolled into one. If you roll a 0 during a dodge you've managed to pull off an Autohit Counter. Your opponent cannot dodge this attack and their life is reduced by two <3s.

Strikes always reduce an enemies <3 total by only 1 unless autohit applies.

Rules of Engagement -

1) If attacked by multiple opponents, one successful dodge roll against any of your attackers hits nullifies the other remaining hits, but you can only counter against a single enemy. The remaining enemies can either disengage or attack again, but the same rules apply.

<< Ex - Distant Star dodges one of two hits from two opponents and chooses opponent A to counter. Opponent B attacks again with opponent A (who successfully dodged into a counter). If Distant Star fails her roll she will take two hits. Distant Star successfully dodges A's attack but changes her counter target to opponent B. Opponent B fails his check and dies, but A attacks again. A Distant Star must now make a dodge roll against A >>

2) If you fail a dodge roll, ALL HITS AGAINST YOU STRIKE.

<< Ex - Fire Eye fails a dodge against one of three attacking opponents. Two of the three attacks are hits. Fire Eye takes two hits >>

3) All hearts are restored to the victor after combat. Canteen is refilled to max after combat.

4) Upon dying, you must give up a single equip to leave behind for the victor to acquire. All other goods in your inventory are returned to darkness (gone completely). Only two equips returned to darkness can be reconjured. Any gear left behind cannot be conjured again until you reacquire said equip. You can not give up items; you must leave an equip behind.

5) Before engagements, post an "approaching" post to your enemy along with the equipment template detailing the gear you intend to do battle in.

( sorry for the scummy looking first post guys! I forgot to format D: )

==================
-Weapon Bonuses -
==================
These are the guidelines to follow for all conjured weapons. Idc if you conjure a megaton hammer, gatling crossbow, great lord tower shield, or hellfire/divine tome - these are the standard bonuses and IHP for each category.

(IHP = initial Hit Parameter)
(FS = Free Strike)

// Melee // Bonus: +1 <3 (IHP 1-5)

// Ranged // Bonus: Increased Accuracy (IHP 1-3, FS on IHP roll 0 or Dodge roll 0)

// Tomes // Bonus: Attack two enemies at once, or One Enemy Twice (IHP 1-3 / dice+2d10)

// Shields // Bonus: AHCs do -1 damage

Adjust (x) in "dice+(x)d10" to accomodate equipped items for IHP

First roll(s) = Main Hand // Second roll(s) = Off Hand

==================
Upon acquiring a shield, use dice+2d10 to roll dodges. If your first roll fails your second roll is there to pick up the slack
==================

- The following template must be posted proceeding an engagement, so all parties involved are aware of eachothers combat kit -

MH: <Weapon>
SA: <Weapon>
OH: <Shield>
Head:
Chest:
Hands:
Legs:
Feet:
Acc1:
Acc2:

===================
-Summons & Drops-
=============
The following creatures can be summoned via Tealight Tokens. Choose the appropriate number of tokens and make a roll/summoning post to figure out which enemy you summon.

<< Ex - Two tokens and a dice roll of 7 summon a Goblin Tinkerer >>

Once summoned, the necessary amount of tokens are removed from the inventory and each Summon follows standard combat rules. The summoner always attacks first. The IHP of summons is 1-3. Every Summon comes with a set amount of <3s and the summoner must roll for himself as well as the Summon. If the summoner dies or disengages against a Summon they are unsummoned. The summoned creature always targets the one who summoned it if attacked by multiple enemies.

<< Ex - A Distant Star summons a Skeleton and rolls a 4. This counts as a fumble. A Distant Star then posts the attack roll of the NPC and reacts accordingly (either with a dodge, or if the NPC fumbles, an attack) >>

After defeating an enemy, you make a loot roll with a "looting" post. The loot roll determines what items you obtain. The loot post and loot roll must be made by the summoner, and completely out of combat.

( Every <3 requires an additional Tealight Token to summon, +X next to creatures name indicates additional HP but does not require an additional token to summon)

"We should head out now...go see Bower. I'm ready." Your voice wavers on the last word, but you keep your face straight. It's time for you to be strong, to get through this, no matter how difficult it is. Something like the bat might bring more problems then it's worth, but you still keep your pockets full. Money, pepper-spray, and the knife. Bundle up, keep your face and hair hidden away, jacket buttoned up all the way. You pull out the list you made and point out Bower's address.

"I have no clue where this is...do you?" Lawrence takes the page and looks closer at the writing and he begins to mentally map. There's a sinking feeling when his face turns sour as he nods.

Sleazy ass part of town, unfortunately. During the day it's usually fine, but at night that's when all the scumbags crawl out. Whatever you do, stay close to me when we get there, don't run off no matter what, understand?

"I was planning to do that already, but thanks for the warning. Are you taking...those?" To answer your question Lawrence pat his coat pocket, a thudding noise beneath his fingers. You take extra care when leaving the school, taking a note of any nearby vehicles. Maybe it was just a creep following them...

[1/2]

>>176472
For the first hour and a half, you two walk through familiar enough territory. Apartment blocks that you feel comfortable enough walking down, not really wealthy but they look safe enough. The small shopping district after, a community center paired with it across the road. Any spot for grass is covered with cold concrete, but nothing awful. There are a few more apartment complexes and even a few small houses here and there, but you wonder if Lawrence was just overreacting or remembering incorrectly. It's when you hit the next rows of shopping areas that you notice the slight shift. Cheap looking liquor stores, electronic shops with bars over the windows, a vandalized store front with slurs you don't understand. A man much too thin to be healthy and shaky with each step comes in your direction, but Lawrence grabs your hand and pulls you past him. The change from there is much less subtle. Posters will scantily clad women adorn brick walls, advertising for special 'shows'. Large and gaudy neon signs start leading the front of more and more buildings, but with them turned off in the daytime it's hard to see what they are advertising. The people you pass by are much rougher looking before, and you doubt it's because any of them are homeless. Harsh words pass by as you walk, it sounds like there might be a fight down an alley, the apartments built above the businesses are cheaper and look like they could break down at the slightest touch. When you see an empty glass bottle break against one across the street, you learn that they have probably stood up to plenty of abuse.

The entire time Lawrence keeps a firm hold on your hand, pulling you to the other side or in front of him when needed. At least one man calls out to him, but you doubt that he actually knows Lawrence. Still you are dutifully led through the hellish scenes.

Bower's business is on the edge of all this, a big road separating his pristine white building from the dirty underbelly. You can see there are more buildings after his, ones that are probably a bit more...respectable, then the ones you have just passed. Lawrence stops before you cross the road, keeping a hold of your hand as he writes with the other one.

How do you want to approach this?

So how about a friendly game of bball? We can learn much of each other.

Then we can get down to business. If you want to join our quest for chaos.

>>176026

You ask Dio if he's up for a friendly game of b-ball. "I am not sure what you mean" he says as you pull out DoomDunk. "Just some basketball is all" "Very well then, prepare yourself" you both go down to the basketball court and begin passing it around

The game is very lax with each of you getting in good shots and bad. Ultimately it ends with a tie "Good game" you say holding out a hand "Good game" Dio says as you both shake hands

"So with some of this out of the way, would you like to join chaos?" You ask as Dio begins hmming and pacing back and forth "I Dio shall join chaos!" He says with great gusto

What now lord?

Well I'm heading to bed, so keep rolling anons

So what do we do... Gathering data to gain new insight probably should be the first move.
