Stats: 13 / 6 / 6

Bumblebee and Rocksmith are on the edge of a balcony overlooking the main hall of the bank. There's no safe way down without injuring themselves gravely and their best option is to find a way to deal with the SWAT Officer 3 quickly and follow the Gungirls up to the roof.

Nightingale, Heretic, Sigma, Brick and Flare are at the top of the stairwell on the far side of the SWAT Officers from the rest of the team.

SWAT Officer 2 is on the stairs behind the new arrivals.

R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

This is Rocksmith's girlfriend. Lily.

@rush99999

You mean the girl whose been bouncing around our top-secret base really is Rocksmith's girlfriend? I supposed we'd better let her come inside then.

R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

Well maybe @Genni will decide to improve Heretic's relationship with Lady Luck.

@rush99999

Yus, please!

@GodOfWar

Maybe Genni will have heretic get lucky.

@knighthawk

Perhaps I should introduce him to her daughter, the slutty little Miss Fortune who seems to be in every man's bed at once?

@Genni@Eklispe I just got gome, making the post

@Behemoth542

I thought gnome hunting season started next month? :p

Rocksmith's chaotic good...But that doesn't mean he won't stuff his face with Ben and Jerry's finest should the occasion arise. Also, maybe you should save the girls for later too...Rocksmith won't be needing them though. His girlfriend gives him plenty of attention he needs it, she's also way hotter than any of those 4 groupies.

@rush99999

Wait, I thought the dark-haired one was his girlfriend? That was the only reason we let the four of them though the VIP entrance so the Gungirls could capture them an use them for bait in the final showdown.

Strawberry, vanilla,chocolate and...pistachio?

@knighthawk

Mint choc chip, with a fresh gooey cream centre, if you stick your tongue in deep enough.

R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

Well, there's the ice cream party after the mission to celebrate their success, with a self service buffet. Lawful Good characters will of course only take their fair share, but Chaotic Evil characters will be stuffing themselves silly.

The Echo Game! Something Different! Always Recruiting! Exclamation Marks!

Yep, I guess they are dead... D:

@SpookySquid

The annoying part is when players are online but they don't bother to make a post. Or even worse they make a post OOC saying 'I'll be making a post later'. If you have the time to write OOC, you have time to make a quick note IC!

Speaking of which, any chance CC could get hold of Nana's duct tape and the rubber duck? She's got a wonderful plan which requires them and BB, and a bathtub full of lime jello.

The Echo Game! Something Different! Always Recruiting! Exclamation Marks!

"Not... deaf," said BB.

"Andrew... Carnegie? is that really him? Oh god... erm... uh, the map... uh yes... it's a great hunting map if your fine with only shooting rabbits. Shows the location of all the ones that aren't in here,"

@SpookySquid

CC quickly turned and gave BB a cheeky smile along with a shrug of her shoulders, "No harm intended, darling," she said gently, leaning over and giving BB a playful peck on the cheek.

Reaching out CC plucked Carnegie up from his perch between BB's luscious lady lumps, her hands lingering perhaps a moment than they should have as she did. She gazed down with a raised eyebrow as she tilted Carnegie back to look into his glass eyes. "Andy, is it?"

Shifting round CC held the stuffed animal out for Mundy to take hold of him. "This 'telepathy', or whatever it is, seems to only work if you touch the bear, otherwise you'll just think we're a bunch of raving idiots talking to a stuffed toy. I take it you know 'Andy' then? Have you met him before?"

R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

Waiting on @Behemoth542 and @knighthawk, though Hawk might be gone by this point.

@Eklispe

I'll give them a few more hours and then push on with the next round.

Heretic will fail all of them.

@GodOfWar

Why does that make it sound like all the things I have planned for the team are bad?

R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

I'm curious, will there be a difference to employed versus indentured servant or the third option?

@knighthawk

Yes. I have certain scenarios planned where characters will be faced with ethical, moral, sexual and monetary dilemmas based on their choices on the profile.

@General Scales There seems to be a problem with the hotlinking for your character's profile image.

Try this one instead: :)

Apokolips Attacks

I'm sorry but I'm stepping out too. It doesn't seem like you know whether to make this into a purely roleplaying adventure or a stat based one and you seem to be getting caught between the two.

There's a number of problems with the game system, the main one being that the Attack stat is entirely worthless to the characters and actually hampers them by decreasing their health, which are getting in the way of the gameplay working for me, and I think it'd be best if I allow people who have a better grasp of the system to play without me getting in the way.

Hitting Streak with a totally unblockable attack and then arguing about me trying to regain a little health was a low blow, and I think that's what @SimplyJohn was talking about when he said 'metagaming'.

He's also kicking his own ass. Which is kinda funny xD

@Shadowman215

Only after he decided to attack Streak first, which was a little underhanded.

R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

As the condensed flaming bullet flew out of the gun he wondered if the heat was damaging it at all. After all it probably wasn't meant to be continually shooting fireballs at people

@Eklispe

Just to answer you question, yes it will break, probably at the end of the engagement. If only Flare could find something else to channel his powers with, or he goes back downstairs to where the other two spare pistols were left. :)

"I think something good has come from this. I'll have to remember that little trick"

@rush99999

Careful, I award originality and creativity but if you try something too many times it may backfire on you.
