[OOC] Rise of the Adepts: Septima Strikers (ASG PowerPunk/Futuristic) [Reboot]

[M127]

For that particular instance, your conditional sequencing was unclear, and the intent to enter was not made by the divers. I just didn't want to void your action, as I felt that would be unfair.

@tobiax

Ah, I would have preferred my action being voided, but in turn the section of the post ending once the intent to enter immedeatly not being present became clear from the diver's actions.

But in any case, this is just for future reference, as the posts in question are obv. too old to correct that.

[Letter Bee]

@tobiax, I have to weigh in again.

Basically, you screwed over Gavin, and it's unfair and unreasonable.

[Letter Bee]

@tobiax, Gavin never, ever, intended to do the things you had him do. Ever.

Gavin would then dash towards the guy with the duffel bag, phasing just before he hit the stack of crates the goon was hiding inside. While phasing, he had left the grenade and his shirt behind, leaving the top of his Combat Suit visible; although said suit had no marks, it was structurally identical to the ones the US' Navy Seals had begun to use. Now behind the set of metal crates, Gavin shot at the man with the duffel bag with his Assault Rifle; hopefully, he had a clear shot. If he did and the guy was killed, Gavin would loot the grenades and toss one of them at the men shooting up the crates; he would then use the time to look at what the bag contained...

@Letter Bee

Upon entering the tillerhouse, Itachi would be met with several divers, as well as the one in the lighter suit which seemed to be their leader. While they were intimidated by the spike crashing through the window, he stood unflinching. The sudden torrent of buffeting air scattered four divers along the ground, and knocked another back into a chair bolted into the deck, leaving him groaning in pain. The lead diver, however, was still standing. Albeit roughed up, he turned staunchly towards the attacker, drawing back the bolt on a gun he carried, and proceeded to unleash a flurry of bullets.

@tobiax

A comparison of these sections shows that you didn't get what I intended to do, at all.

Gavin Prince

The bullets hit Gavin's Combat Suit, which reduced the injuries taken, but not nullified them entirely. Nevertheless, Gavin was still functioning, and that counted. As the Grenade was apparently taken along for the ride when he had phased through the stack of crates instead of being left behind with the thugs, Gavin would use the last few seconds he had to conjure up a small wormhole that would suck in the grenade and spit it back at the group of enemies.

Moving in pursuit of the man carrying a duffel bag, the Navy Seal would pursue, Assault Rifle in hand, moving inexorably to the back of the room, hoping that he can shoot the man with the bag dead before his compatriots caught up to him. If Gavin can find the enemy in time, he would shoot him dead, take the duffel bag, then portal himself to the communications suite, where he would finally do some examination...

But if this skirmish continued, Gavin would have to make a tactical retreat instead of facing superior numbers - he loathed the idea, but he was still open to it.

@Letter Bee

Six shots plugged themselves into the back of the thin man as he approached the crate. The divers perused, taking formation at the stairs' landing before one fired a laser weapon at one of the empty metal crates above, causing it to disintegrate. As the small wormhole was beginning to be created, the grenade detonated, tossing the Space Walker back in the blast, and searing his hand, and toppling other boxes, allowing the diver to flee with his bag, and revealing his position to further gunfire.

@tobiax

Same for this. There is disconnect between my intentions and what actually happened.

@Letter Bee

I gave you ample time to get rid of that grenade. I didn't want to kill Gavin or do massive damage by way of a mook, so I let it go longer, but it was a short-fuse grenade from the beginning.

@Letter Bee

That's because you're reading what I replied to Ryougu. I said Itachi, which is his character.

[tobiax]

@M127 Thanks for your cooperation. In the future, I'll look more closely for time signatures. I had just already calculated EP by that point.

@tobiax

I did get rid of the grenade. I dashed towards the stack of crates, then phased through said stack, then left behind my grenade and shirt on the other side of said stack.

That action should have worked.

@Letter Bee

Everything's happening at the same time. I'm not going to have the divers stand around dumbly. The events are compounding. You say you got hit by some shots, I continue to describe how many and where, not inclining lethality, as that was already mentioned as negligible.

@Letter Bee

What's your Septima?

<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>
What's your Septima?

@tobiax

Wormholes, but I also bought Phase.

[tobiax]

@Letter BeeAnd you phase using your Septima. So you make a wormhole to get yourself through objects, because you weren't vanishing from sight, which, even doing that, would be going in a wormhole. The way it works is once something goes in, it comes out the created exit, so you can't leave things inside nothing. That course of action took so long that I should have had the grenade detonate while you were taking your shirt off, but I decided to be generous.

@tobiax

I am angry, and I know this has gotten me in trouble in RPGuild before.

But really, you decided to be generous?

[Letter Bee]

@tobiax, Okay, that sounded condescending. But, I feel as though my competence got called into question while I got faced with a severe setback that, though salvagable, deeply lessens my enthusiasm for the RP.

Sorry for sounding like an egomaniac. But to be honest, I expected my character to be smart and competent.

I'm sorry for not being such.

[Letter Bee]

I just drank Isopropyl alcohol.
IRL.
And my Mom can't afford hospital bills.
@tobiax

[tobiax]

@Letter BeeWow, that's lame. Hope you get better. Did you look up what you're supposed to do? Like, flush with water or induce vomitting? I don't recommend either unless you find genuine documentation to do so. Does it have a safety label?

@tobiax

Looked it up; vomiting will damage my esophagus more.

[tobiax]

So don't. That's why I don't reccomend it. Go to an ER. Don't die.

[Letter Bee]

So don't. That's why I don't reccomend it. Go to an ER. Don't die.

@tobiax

It was a small amount, less than the mimimum needed for poisoning.

[tobiax]

Oh... then just don't do it again.
