Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Rolling will fill in a sec))

At first, it didn't sound like anything out of the ordinary. There was the scurrying of gnome feet and the ca-clunk of machines busy at work, but those were all normal sounds. Even the screaming was normal – occasionally a gnome would willingly throw themselves into a student's wet laundry for a free ride in the dryer, and their shouts of glee seemed to remind the students just how mundane and back-breaking their particular task was.

It was when the screams multiplied that the students began to look questioningly at Red. “MOVE!” she snarled, diving off to one side as something entered the room.


1, 2 – You hear Red shout and immediately move into action, safely taking no damage. Your HP is now 30/30.

3, 4 – You are quick on your feet! At the first sign of trouble, you moved to safety and take no damage. Your HP is now 30/30.

5, 6 – You were a little slow on the update. You were grazed by the machine, and take 1 damage. Your HP is now 29/30.

7, 8 – What? You were distracted, and were smacked in passing! You take 2 damage. Your HP is now 28/30.

9, 10 – WHAM! Whatever it was just ran over you! OW! You take 3 damage. Your HP is now 27/30.















What?  No RP post with your rolls?  Your HP is now 25/25, ignore your roll result.

THE DICE ROLLS HAVE CHANGED, READ CAREFULLY!
How accuracy is determined has changed. Please read carefully!

► Posts that do not use the weapons correctly will not have their damage counted!
► Posts that are rolls without any sort of RP post will get you booted from the event! Please, please, please post at least a sentence with your rolls!
► There will be an attack roughly every 24 hours. One my appear sooner, or one may take longer than 24 hours to appear. Please check in and post!
► Weapons now have a limited use that varies. If your weapon breaks, you can't get another one!
► Please bold and orange your weapon choice.
► Regular attacks are 2 6-sided dice minus 6. Please list your damage in your posts.


►► OFFENSIVE "WEAPONS"
► WOOL SWEATER
A seemingly innocent wool sweater that just came out of the dryer. It delivers a shock to whatever it hits.
Dice Roll: Roll 3 4-sided dice. If your first dice number is 4, you hit! 1-3 is a miss. If you hit, add up the remaining dice to determine the amount of damage you deal to your opponent.
Minimum Damage: 2
Maximum Damage: 8
Example: You roll a 4, 3, and 1. The 4 means you hit. Add 3 and 1 for a total of 4 damage.


► WET TOWEL
A wet towel that's been twisted and formed into a rudimentry whip that can deliver a quick flick of pain.
Roll 3 8-sided dice. The first dice determines whether or not you miss. The second dice is the amount of damage you deal to your opponent. The third dice is the unfortunate backlash done to you. No use limit.
Dice Roll: Roll 3 8-sided dice. You need to get a 7 or 8 on the first dice to hit your target. The second dice roll is the damage you do the the opponent, the third is the damage you to do yourself. The third dice always hits! Even if you miss the boss, you will ALWAYS hit yourself with backlash.
Minimum Damage: 1
Maximum Damage: 8
Example: I roll a 3, 4, and 5. Since the first number is a 3, I missed my opponent, however I still do 5 damage to myself.


► FORGOTTEN LAUNDRY BAG
Looks like someone left their bag of laundry! Ohwell, finders keepers! Reach in and start chucking someone else's half-washed things at the enemy.
Dice Roll: Roll 4 8-sided dice. If this first number is 1-6 you miss. A 7 or 8 means you have hit. The damage applied is the AVERAGE number of the three. Each dice represents an aspect of the illusion. If the total is even, your target is affected. If the total is odd, your opponent sees through your illusion and it misses. Round to the nearest whole number to determine damage. Ie, 4.3 rounds to 4 where as 2.7 rounds up to 3.
Minimum Damage: 1
Maximum Damage: 8
Example: I roll 8, 4, 4, 6, the result is 14. The average is 4.3, I round down to deal 4 damage to my opponent.


►► SUPPORT "WEAPONS"
► SOGGY SCARF
You have a scarf. Twirl it around your head, get everybody wet and throw it at the opponent like a bolas to trip'em up! Roll 1 6-sided dice. If odd you missed. If even, your opponent can't move for one turn. Usable only once. Considering that you just threw it. It can interrupt and prevent the boss from using special abilities for two turns. In addition, if it hits you may perform bonus damage.
Dice roll: Roll 1 6-sided dice. If 1-4, nothing happens. If you roll a 5 or 6, roll another 6-sided dice in another post. This second dice is the amount of damage you have done with your bare hands.
Example: I announce my attack and rolled a 5. Since it hit, I can now roll another 6-sided dice. I get a 4, and deal 4 damage to the boss.
If I rolled a 2, then my attack missed and I can NOT roll another 6-sided dice.


► WARM SNUGGIE
Fresh from the dryer, this blanketrobething is so nice and warrrrm! You can hug someone while wearing this and restore their HP by rolling 3 4-sided dice. Usable only 5 times, then the warmth is gone.
Dice Roll: Roll 3 4-sided dice. If the first number isn't a 4, it fails. Add the result to your HP. You cannot go over your max HP.
Minimum Damage Healed: 1
Maximum Damage Healed: 8
Example: I roll a 4, 3, 3 making a success with 6. I currently have 27/30 HP. My HP is now 30/30, NOT 33/30. You cap at max HP.


► SECURITY BLANKET
There's something comforting about this durable blanket. Use to throw over someone to shield them from the next attack! - Roll 3 4-sided dice. The amount shown is the amount of damage prevented. Effect lasts only one turn. No use limit.
Dice roll: Roll 3 4-sided dice. 1-3 miss, 4 is a hit. Add the remaining dice to determine the amount of damage prevented to the target for the next turn. Lasts only one turn.
Minimum Damage Prevented: 2
Maximum Damage Prevented: 8
Example: I use this on myself and roll a 4, 3, 1. Success! I negate 4 damage. The next time my opponent attacks me, their attack won't hit me unless they generate 5+ damage.
Let's say the opponent hits me for 5 damage next turn. Since I rolled a 4 though, there's the difference of 1. Guess what? You were just hit for 1 damage, since your shield only protected you from 4 damage.
If your opponent hits you for 3 damage, you take no damage but still lose the effect of the shield by your next turn.

The was barely enough warning, or... maybe there was, but sadly Morton had been much too preocupied with trying to figure out how to keep both ghouls safe to notice. As it was, the sound of Red's voice managed to pierce through the haze in his mind just a few seconds too late and the machines graced his side, making him stumble a step or two.

Focussing his attention briefly on their Gym teacher, he dove and grabbed the first thing he could, which happened to be a WOOL SWEATER and lashed out with it.

For... all the good THAT did though. He frowned at the item in his hand and turned to make sure his companions were having better luck.

Morton's HP: 29/30
Attack: FAIL.

"Nothing wrong with wanting scratches," Coralie told Morton, more for LW's benefit than his. He already knew she had no problem giving him scratches. He knew this so well, in fact, that he often visited her room at odd hours just for this purpose. It didn't bother her so much and it was ever so amusing to see what he'd do for them, not that she purposefully hung it over him anymore. They'd gotten to the point where they did most things together anyway, so she didn't need bribery...and that meant for Morton scratches were free. It wasn't a bad set up.

She did raise her brows at his desire to stay, though, "Morton why would you want to-" This place was okay, entertainment wise, but honestly there were far more exciting things he could be doing. This is what she had wanted to tell him, but of course it was then there was sudden a commotion. Commotions were interesting, right? Not when they were demented washer and dryers planning to attack you. She sighed, clearly not interested in battling. Fighting really wasn't something she found enjoyable; it didn't help she wasn't very good at it.

Reluctantly she took the first weapon she could find, a forgotten laundry bag, looking at it with a critical eye. "How is this supposed to be a weapon?" she asked quite blatantly, unimpressed. She suddenly wished she'd brought Wilfred with her...Jack damn hat. She found she missed him. Digging through the bag, she thought she could at least...well, throw something.

And she missed by a long shot. Well, she'd never said she was a athlete or anything. She sighed, propping her hands on her hips as she looked over at Morton. "This isn't what I had in mind when I thought detention could get a smidge more interesting." Okay, so she might have low self-preservation instincts, but at least she didn't enjoy the fighting, that was something right?

...

Maybe.

((This post’ll put me roughly around 330 words! -lots more to type- ))

Gargantuan was quivering. This was just like the Other Bathroom all over again. The loud, angry sounds of rampaging washing machines and driers were enough to make him cringe—and they had teeth! Sharp, angry teeth! Red’s snarled orders were enough to make him flinch, and the swamp beast would timidly reach out to pick up the Warm Snuggie. No more weapons! He was no good with them! That, and the thing was just so warm, and soft, and... Well, Gargantuan was content to huddle against it with a slight whine in his throat. It was a comforting thing to have, in his time of need!

As Riley slammed into his side, the beast paused, looking rather owlish—and then, eventually, horrified. They’d hit Riley! They’d tried to hurt her! Stumbling after the girl as he was tugged along, the swamp monster cringed as she leapt towards her offenders, but would hurriedly attempt to follow suit. He couldn’t let Riley get hurt, no matter what! Following suit, he used his fists to flail wildly at the machines, hoping to strike something and be done with it. And, of course, hopefully he wouldn’t accidentally hit Riley in the first place...

Gargantuan's HP: 25/25
Damage Done: 4

She...what had just happened? The little she-wolf had been focused on her small group that, once again, she had been oblivious to whatever was going on. At least until she saw their werewolf Professor moving after something with a shout towards the students. Then she saw the problem. Jackdamnit! She so did not like this detention ordeal.

LW grabbed up the first thing her hand came into contact with from a pile of laundry as she followed to aid her fellow students. Her 'weapon' of choice turned out to be a wool sweater. Using this, she attempted to attack the machines.

Though she had to admit she was a little doubtful on how effective laundry would be against machines...

HP: 25/25
Damage: 0

Maybe Junko should have left, then she could have avoided being slapped by something as she hurried to run to Red and the other students. She could've avoided many things, honestly. She rubbed her cheek as she looked around for something to use, grabbing a warm snuggie and hugging that close. It didn't look like anyone needed it yet, so she'd just hold onto it for now.

Was everyone okay? Junko looked around to make sure her friends were alright, frowning and backing away from the laundry machines. To think she was feeling confident about not having to do anything but what she did on a regular basis! Ugh! But these weren't trees or elves...Junko couldn't just punch or kick them. That would hurt. And so she did the next best thing; Junko took off one of her sandals and chucked it at the washing machines as hard as she could.

This ghoul? This ghoul is not a fighter.
