Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

In honor of the Deep Sea King's magnificent defeat at the hands of Saitama, let's all watch what would happen if One Punch Man went up against the world of Fallout (in other words, who wants to see some Deathclaws get totally wrecked?):

Steel Dawn - Nightfall

Tavin rose from his bed enthusiastically and quickly donned his uniform. He stared at the insignia of Lieutenant Junior Grade with pride. Sure it certainly wasn't a high rank, but considering how many people had told him that his dreams of piloting his very own mech, especially in the famed 1st Vanguard, was merely a pipe dream, Tavin was ecstatic that he had proven all those people wrong. After admiring the stripes on his uniform and recalling the promotion ceremony less than a week ago, he was suddenly brought back to the present by the sound of a notification on his data pad. The young man walked over to his desk where the wondrous piece of technology laid and looked to see what it was that interrupted his day dreaming. "... Transport has already been arranged yadda yadda yadda... Briefing Room 2 blah blah blah... meet rest of squad... Aaaaand, okay. Time to get a move on." Pocketing the pad, Tavin opened the door out of his room and began to make his way to the transport bay where he could get a ride to deck of the ship where Briefing Rooms were located.

When Tavin arrived, he checked to make sure he had arrived at the right room once he saw the lack of activity in the room. After confirming he had arrived at the right location and at the correct time, Tavin took one of the many empty seats of the room. He hadn't recognized the admiral's assistant or his new Commanding Officer and so he ignored any formalities and just sat down in the seat nearest to the door. He looked at the display at the front of the room, analyzing it to see if it held any kind information that would tell him any specifics on what this briefing was about.

Yo @Kaithas. I've mentioned in two different entries now that Robert ends up having twins. I'm not going to get marked down if I keep up that continuity for this challenge will I?

@Write Dang it. Lost again. Anyway, just felt that I should explain the reason he was so casual about dying was because he felt he was ready and knew he'd be seeing all those lost loved ones soon. That's, at least, what I was attempting to do. Obviously didn't succeed in doing that. Definitely going to try and improve on the "showing not telling" suggestion you made and keep that in mind for future entries. Thank you for the advice.

Sorry to hear that your weekends aren't all they're cracked up to be.

In my first-ever move of my first-ever game of DnD, I critically failed a check to look for carrots and found pubic lice instead...

@Lugubrious

A friend of mine was being attacked by a bear in D&D after getting separated from the rest of the group. He was down to his last bit of health. Knowing he was about to die, he used his last turn to try and seduce the bear. He critically failed. It was apparently so bad that the bear was offended and left. That was how he got to live another day.

I never started a war in DnD. Only bluffed a mountain into being flat.

@Crimmy

I once suplexed a dragon simply because it was in my way.

Yes Guess Who you fail at life. I'm sorry it had to come out this way.

If you want more to add talk a bit more about Robert's very happy life and why we should sad that he's dead. Give us more details about his kids and grandkids or his marriage. Make it sound sappy and sweet. That's my advice to you.

@Prince of Seraphs

I have around two hours until the cut off and I'm not even home right now. Probably too late now, but thanks for the suggestion.

Hope everyone's enjoying Thanksgiving and not getting their organs excised by Black Friday!

Anyone have an eye on the next contest?

Forgive me, but I wish to conduct an experiment on general player response time / logon frequency. If you're reading this having been summoned, post OOC immediately (it doesn't matter what) to help me with my data-gathering. You may or may not have an extra message from me. Thank you!

@Lugubrious

Are mentions not working for anyone else? I didn't see a notification from this.

I keep feeling like I should change something, but I've only got six words in reserve and there is so much more I could say and I'm not sure what I could cut out to make room for it.

@Prince of Seraphs

Meanwhile I have about 1,400 words in reserve and can't think of a single one to add.
