Quick Fix Game 79: Death and Murder in the Stars

[StrikerEZ he/him]

I'm about to leave for a bit here in like half an hour or so. Not sure when exactly I'll be back before rollover, but I figured I'd go ahead and give an up-to-date VC before I leave in case I can't make it back until right before rollover:

Myst (1): IcedOutPenguin
Verdance (1): Through the living Wahr
Through the Living Star (1): ___ (Mippo)
Qianwellian (1): Myst
DrakeMarshall (1): TwinStorm

[Mystic He/Him]

Ties. Nice. I’d obviously prefer if Coco was also in it, but 2/3’s not bad

Hm, uh how about I add another person to the tie lemme get out my dice real quick

The dice gods have spoken! Penguin

[Mystic He/Him]

Naux twirled his pen, thinking. He was looking over the lights at the Administration Buildings, and something was off.

He called out of the hole he’d entered the electrical from. “Hey! I found something, circuit breakers on the power lines.” He looked closer, “there’s radio waves coming off of it, probably able to control the circuit remotely”

Naux got out of the wall, quickly changing out of the jumpsuit. “One more thing, the circuit breakers were normal sized”

“Human…” someone whispered 

[___ He/Him]

Looked over the thread, biggest e!lean is on Qian right now. I don't like his statement about the resolving all the actions which tbf doesn't really mean anything but I get bad vibes

Yay, another PSA for a rule clarification (I hate love my tendency to make super complicated rules :P)

Hopefully the formatting doesn't get too borked. If it does, just go check the rules doc where I've added this. I'm also about to add it to the signup thread.

Striker and I expanded the rule doc by 60% with clarifications after I came aboard, is this normal?  

Current vote count, four hours before rollover

Qian (2) Myst, ___/Mippo

Penguin (1) Coco

Drake (1) Twin

Myst (1) Penguin

Verdance (1) Wahr

TUM (1) Qian

Remember that this is a QF, and there is no night cycle, all actions can and should be submitted this cycle!

Star Qian

It actually does, just not towards E!Qian

He and Star(edit: Qian and Coco) joked about how they would be a lot of actions. Something they can’t know unless they have lots of actions themselves or if they’re in an Elim doc with someone who does. 
 

edit: sorry, it was Qian and Coco

[coco.pudding she/they]

Hm, Qian is an interesting one. I can get behind that, the vibes are certainly off.

Oh that’s a very interesting point actually. I’m not sure it’s completely alignment indicative since it’s a pretty logical assumption to make, but definitely something to watch.

It’s why I’m sure we’re in a high power scenario. I’ve gotten a PM, and TUM has implied one, and I have a few(edit; I have a few abilities myself) which is 5 people.

As such, balancing a game means that the Elims need to be moderate to high power, so that means Qian right now

I doubt though that everyone has lots of abilities

Yeah, not as high on my radar as some other people.

Azren was shuffling paperwork again. Only today, everything was important. No more small issues. With the events of the previous day, and the escaped human on the loose, everyone was panicking. They signed off on medical leave for several of the injured (though it would need to be delayed until after the crisis was averted, which, they assumed, would be happening quickly), then on overtime for the soldiers, as an increased number of guards would be needed in the halls. Next, they went to work reading the employee handbook for the station, making sure they knew exactly what would be needed in an emergency situation like this one. They had already read it three times cover to cover, of course, but one can never be too knowledgeable. They also made sure additional printouts of the relevant sections were distributed throughout the station. It wouldn’t do for them to be the only one prepared.

Today was a big, terrifying day. But Azren took comfort in their paperwork and in the knowledge that there were protocols in place for this. That nothing could happen to them while those protocols still stood. That soon, everything would return to normal.

(btw qian I don’t actually want to vote you, at least not yet)

"Everything is under control."

Quoth-Yithuqoth chewed these words carefully, turning them over in his mind, contemplating their meaning.

It did not seem like everything was under control, he thought.

By now, the graffiti in the public square read only "The Superiority Will Not Pro." He felt some lingering satisfaction at that - he and his cleanup crew had been hard at work scrubbing away the offending letters. The supervisor had specifically complimented his efforts before giving him permission to take his lunch break.

But the evidence was still there, so the thoughts stayed with him as he went about his day, like a pebble that refused to be dislodged from one's boot. It wasn't just the message in the square, either. People were on edge. His head-tendrils danced in dissatisfaction.

"Everything is under control."

But why would the Administrator lie? That would be counterproductive. Quoth-Yithuquoth was of lesser intelligence, and even he could see that.

Everything must be under control, then. Whatever unrest was transpiring, the Superiority must have intended it all along. Quoth-Yithuqoth did not understand how that made any sense, but surely it did. Somehow. (Maybe it was all a test? No, again, even he could tell that would be foolish, and the Superiority was not foolish.)

Quoth-Yithuquoth thought that was enough thinking for now. This was all too far above his paygrade. His lunch break was almost over, and it was almost time to get back to cleaning up the Superiority's messes.

Zrraii was located in the life support controll room, which by now looked like a giant green geode, he had noticed some sort of unrest but his inability to move resulted in him not knowing what exactly was going on. So he waited if anyone would inform him.

The Superiority Will Not Protect You

The words rang in Kitar’s mind as she continued her work. As a medic, she was expected to do that. There were some that had been injured in the darkness- she tended to those now. 
“Can you tell me where the pain is?” She said kindly, asking a young Kitsen. The Kitsen grimaced, then pointed to their head. Then their foot. Then their hand. 
“all over?” Kitar asked. The young Kitsen nodded, and Kitar made a mark in her notes. “I’ll be right back.” Striding away, she turned to talk with one of her co-workers, Quall. “What happened?” Quall hissed. “I was in here!” 
“A human escaped.” 
“What?! I-“

”Get back to work.” That was the voice of the head medic, who was glaring at them. Kitar nodded, returning to the young Kitsen. But still, her mind wondered, what would happen next?

“Human…” someone whispered 

A large golden Tenasi in crimson tactical armor - Winnifred, chief of the Diplomacy's Security Force - approaches each and every one of you, accompanied by a small squad of armed officers. "Good afternoon, friends, I must ask all of you to come with me down to the Station. You have been identified as a potential suspect in this morning's terrible events, and all of you - yes, even the slugs - are asked to come peacefully. I ask, very calmly, that you do not attempt to resist. This is still the Superiority, after all."

(Loving the RP, everyone! Keep it up!)

I do agree we’re probably in a high power scenario. And even if we’re not we should probably proceed as if we are just to be safe.

Okay here’s the question though—do the elims have a lot of abilities or just a lot of actions? Because there is a difference there, especially when they have to use one action for the kill (or am I wrong about that? @StrikerEZ @Doc12 )

Statistically speaking, at least one person probably has no abilities, but that’s also something that would be very easy to lie about.

Killing does take up an action slot, yes.

I don't think statistics quite work that way when it's 100% GM decided, but I still agree.

I’d say actions, especially since I’ve been told I can use the same ability twice (I thought one would go to waste) 

But having access to a couple of options as well would be powerful
