Ryuuto comes out of nowhere and steals both flags with his strings. "Hah, your tactics are pathetic!" His glasses gleam, but then all the players unite and blow him up with a blast of concentrated friendship.

Works in animu, it'll work here! \o/

Everyone: *focusing on Brock*

Hana: Umm...I have the flag

Everyone:

Nobody's guarding their flag at the moment, since Zeke just tackled Musashi and Rumi to the ground.

Well he just got up and went to stand right next to it again. I mean if anyone wants to do something with Zeke in that situation I'm open to it, but it feels like the right time to have someone end the CTF, have a cooldown period, do interactions and whatnot and then move on to next event when it doesn't feel like we're rushing into it.

Would you be alright with the idea of Hana having taken the flag? I realize it might slightly bend the logic of the scene a small amount, but it's kinda meant to be a silly joke anyway and I feel like it would be the way to end the game in the shortest amount of posts

Just left off with one last post. I'm cool for timeskipping like everyone else, fyi.

I am also cool with it

This hunger games is gonna be hilarious with the colorful bunch we have

@tipssyCalibrator

I think we shouldn't skip to each event too quickly. I'm honestly keen on doing some school or interacting scenes before we get to more events. I've been in roleplays that skip alot of in-between moments to get to
main events, and I've found that gives little room for character development. Not saying we should roleplay the full month before the next exam, but I really do think timeskipping too fast will make interactions and the like hard to accomplish

We've decided to just simply end the CTF game early and give a bit of extra time afterwards for characters to meet up and interact with their mentors before doing the timeskip

I'll make the post once I get a response from Zero Hex about the question I asked him about CTF (alternatively, I might post anyway if it takes too long)

Right, I'm busy because I'm getting paid to write about a sports event going down atm but here you go: I don't want to be a pain in the ass and I'd be fine with Hana taking the flag but my character has already been the gag guy and done nothing else for basically every post. By my choice, of course, not complaining, but here's the thing:

Zeke's power should, as written, allow him to on some level catch Hana who'd basically be showing up out of literally nowhere as a plot device. I would very much prefer for my character's explicit superpowers to not be completely trivialized in a situation where they can and should work. Understand where I'm coming from?

You know, Asa could very well just end the game. Just gotta take a look at like, the one guy that got nutshotted and the one girl trying to brain him and that a teacher already interrupted over that and that a guy just got stabbed which could've been extremely bad had it not just happened to be a regenerator. There's a few reasons why a teacher might decide this is a bust.

I've actually been considering the idea of just simply cancelling the match for a while now, but the way I thought of it was that it would be very boring and unsatisfying if the game just cancelled halfway. Not to say that it would be perfectly satisfying with Hana capturing the flag of course, but it would at least be moreso than a simple cancellation. Having the game properly end on a silly joke at least has more of a sense of closure than boringly cutting the match and having no real conclusion at all

As for the power representation, I'm sympathetic to that worry. However, I feel like that shouldn't be much of an issue as long as everyone knows that it's just a silly joke and not a 100% accurate representation of your character's powers (which should be the case, especially since we're having this conversation in the OOC right now). I'd also technically be misrepresenting Hana's powers as well, considering she's not really THAT fast

Alternatively, would it be at all possible that she could've taken the flag when he wasn't near it and wouldn't have been able to catch her with his powers (and just didn't look at the flag when he went back cause he naturally just assumed it was there)? This is very unlikely, but I figured I'd at least suggest it

(I'm still willing to cancel the match as well if you're really that adamant about it, I'd just really prefer to end it the way I want if I can help it)

Eh, you know, feel free to snatch the flag right up from under my character's nose or w/e

@pkken

Would the Institute's senior staff know what sort of powers Roy has, given that they collected him?

@AzereiahI'd say people like Daler would yeah

@Azereiah

Should I wait for you or just post?

@Silver Carrot Just post. I should've made that clear earlier :)

@tipssyCalibrator So does your last post mark a timeskip, or are we still waiting for something before moving on?

@Mercurial

No, we're still doing stuff. The timeskip's going to happen after students have all been assigned to mentors, and have actually had a bit of interaction.

ASA

Asa had been watching the whole game quietly the whole time and had figured now, after one of the kids got hit in the crotch and knocked unconscious, would be the best time to stop the match. She stepped into the arena to get all the students' attention. "Alright everyone, considering what's happened to Brock here, it looks like it's time to call the match off. You won't have to redo this, your mentors will still be chosen tomorrow" Asa explained to everyone

???

@Mercurial

Huh. I don't know then, but until I a timeskip is made clear, I'd say keep going.
