USH'S MATRIX GAME- Operation Samhain

Hawk closes and opens the melee box.

second page already, hell yeah.

"I don't think we're capable of ever doing anything that's not completely horrible. Even things that are for fun wind up a mess," San replies to Melis. "The cold is just annoying, though."

Sirin will want a pistol.

"Oh come on, San, we're not that bad," Sirin says.

(Looking at my stats... I realized that Sirin is mook-level with her combat skills!)

"I didn't say we were bad...simply that it seems the world greatly dislikes us. I tend to be pessimistic about things..."

(How'd you manage that one? 😛)

Hephaestus is fully decked out his all-maroon ensemble.

"I have no need for either of those," Heph states, referring to the boxes.

(Naturals just have low stats, and I'm an All-Rounder so lower skills. Oh well!)

"And that's why you're not on the Shez," Sirin says.

(I suppose that would do it!)

"I'm not sure I'd be able to handle Dallas being...Dallas that constantly anyway," San replies. "Besides, if I were on the same ship as Burn I'd never get a moment's peace."

"Looks like the box of infinite pistols," Klez says, adjusting his glaringly white suit and shying away from dripping water. "I'll take two."

Berserker stands up to his full height walking over to the melee crate and picks up a knife.

"I'm all for us against the world San, it's way more fun and you get to break a hell of a lot more things."

He holds the knife in front of him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let's play."

Mors shrugs, wishing they didn't have to start with something so weak. He wants a sword, any sword.

Everyone who opens the crates gets the same result; when the person before them takes out the pistol or knife and closes the box, the next person opens it and finds they've duplicated. So everyone who wants pistols can get them.

The pistols are all Beretta M9s, pieces from the 1990s. Same for the knives, combat issue from the same era. As are most guns in the Matrix!

Now...
Can I exploit the system, and open the box again to grab 3 more clips?

You go to open the case again... and there's a password lock on it now that wasn't there before.

Meaning Klez can't have that second pistol just yet.

(I'm back baby)

"Can't think of a better way to see if the old would have healed," Cloud says, subconciously rubbing his side, "Anyone care to make this interesting?"

Corley is dressed in a tight black leather get-up. She is a Natural Gunner and will want to take a pistol from the case. She says little since she knows no-one.

"Hell yes," Ares says to Cloud. "It's already going to be interesting."

Ares likewise grabs a pistol from the cases, and expresses just as much disappointment as Burn with it- it's no secret that Ares favors machine pistols.

Can I get a First Officer to assemble a list of who has grabbed pistols and knives?

"Of course it will," San says. "Kinda feel sorry for the new guys getting dragged into this."

Let's see...

San - Knife
Burn - pistol
Melis - Knife
Hawk - Knife, pistol
Sirin - pistol
Klez - pistol
Berserker - knife
Corley - pistol
Mors - pistol

Mors, did you actually take a weapon? Cloud, are you going to?

Corley shrugs and says nothing as she examines the Beretta.

"A weeks rations I outlast you Ares, and you can keep your little butter knife, think I'll stick to my martial art skills for now, probably cause more damage that way."
Cloud cracks his neck from side to side and starts stretching for the fight.

Mors will take a pistol just in case. He's more of a hardware guy despite being a Fighter role.

My characters and their penchant for lots of toys...
