Zeta 12 came to find many people gathered around.. some figure. The rules of a game, and a pendant to be won. He listened to the rules, trying not to get too cozy with anyone around him.. tried not to look at them. They could be enemies just as much as they could be foes. It would be best to play this game safely. No point in getting killed over a pendant. Sure, he needed it to live, but what was the use in dying? No pendants to be got when he was dead.
He proceeded forward.ยจ

The game had begun. And boy did she feel sorry for anyone who was afraid of heights.
This game seemed a lot less manipulative than last time, especially since life or death simply depended on dice. Funny how survival was always being linked to a simple object, be it a pendant or dice. But this guy was saying that we may have to push people? Zeta Nine wasnt sure if she could handle listening to the screams of the fallen all the way down that chasm.
She took a deep breath. Well, she had essentially signed up with her prescene, so here we go. Step, step, step back. Run... and jump! Being met with solid ground was such a relief.

Eta three stared at the others as they all seemed to 'jump' at the challenge to gain a pendant, though some a little more wearily than the others. He shrugged, heights didn't bother him, staring at the into the black between the stops didn't sent a shiver of fear through him, nor excitement it was just something that needed doing. He walked forwards through the crowd and jumped.

(( Psst, Junglerunner, the shortcut begins on the third island. You'd need to have rolled a four in order to take it. Your 'miss' of the shortcut can be deleted ^^ Wait for next round to see if you feel like trying it again. ))

Eta II jumped onto the first island and wobbled, flailing around to keep balance. Woah
Steadying himself, he looked at the others who were far ahead of him.
Ah well, slowly does it.

Everyone had moved onto the islands by now. Two of them were struggling under the weight of three people each. The hooded figure jumped in alarm. This wasn't good. Some casualties were to be expected, sure, but this was a little too much, too soon. "You lot! Hey, you six on the shaking islands. Move!" (( Islands #1 and #6 are about to fall. All six players on those islands, your only chance is to leap for the next island and hope you make it. You also have the option of trying to save one other person on your island - will this help or hinder your own chance of survival?
If you choose to save only yourself, roll one six-sided die and RP your attempt.
If you choose to try to save someone as well as yourself, bold the name of the person you are trying to save and roll two six-sided die - one for yourself, one for your rescue effort. RP out your attempt.
After only these six players have posted, another GM post will reveal the results.
Normal posting order will resume after that. ))

Eta II felt the ground slowly giving way.
Oh God oh god oh god.
He looked at the other two who were barely hanging on too. Push them? Surely that would be a little too harsh..... Or save another? It was a terrible dilemma, either option would have ugly consequences.
Oh well, he decided, I suppose each man for himself is still the fairest option here....
And with that he took a leap towards the next island(?!)

Well this wasnt good. Her island was struggling under the three's weight and her balance was beginning to fail her. Crapcrapcrap. She could push someone, but she knew both of the other occupents, even if only vaguely. One being a team member, the other a Theta who had recently joined their little party.
Zeta Nine sighed. Time to put herself as number one. As much as she would love to save someone else, she just couldnt make the decision of who possibly lives and dies. She steadied herself as best she could and took a leap towards the next island
[ Does this roll determine how much I move, or whether I fall or not? Can't find a rule on it even though I'm probably staring it in the face /shot ]

Not only had his running jump landed him on only the first floating platform, but it looked like he had been joined by two other others. And as soon as all three were on the platform, it had begun to wobble dangerously. Eta V felt like he had been transported to a video game, except there would be no continues or extra lives after this one.
He had few choices, and not much time to decide. He couldn't push the others off the platform...that was to barbaric. But if he tried to save someone..he could end up getting himself killed. or even worse, get both of them killed. But what if he could save them? But what if they tried to kill him anyway?
It was supposed to be a battle royal; A giant bloodbath that someone had rigged up for whatever reason. If they found someone they didn't know, chances were they were supposed to fight each other. until one was dead
He knew this...knew that the other people on the island didn't give a dam about him, but even so...he wanted to hold on. Hold on to an ounce of humanity, to at least pretend for a few moments that he was still compassionate. Still a person who cared about others.
With these thoughts in mind, he grabbed the arm of Beta five, and tried with all his might to jump across to the next platforms
((TRYING FOR A RESCUE! And if this fails...omg I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry ;. wink )

Standing in the middle of a floating island, crammed between two other people, Beta Five had determined several things.
A.) This island was definitely not big enough for the three of them.
B.) He was a terrible jumper.
and
C.) I REALLY have GOT to learn not to get myself into these situations.
Unfortunately for Beta Five, the last was a little out of his control, seeing as how he was on a floating island in the middle of a bottomless dark chasm, on an island, decked out in a gas mask and carrying a mace.
His choices were rather limited.
Exhaling an exasperated sigh, Beta Five slid a foot back, attempting to balance himself more easily on the island. Which, it seemed, was shuddering dangerously. Five wobbled, arms outstretched -
- and then promptly almost fell over the side when Eta II took a running leap off and onto the next island. The island beneath his feet warbled dangerously back and forth (Beta Five felt rather like he was on a seesaw), and it was only just barely that he managed to catch himself and not tumble off).
"Oy vey," he murmured, brows lifting as he shook his head, getting ready to leap himself. He tucked the mace into his bag, slid his feet into position, raised his arms, and -
- was promptly grabbed by someone else. Beta Five blinked, glancing down at the hand around his arm.
"Erm - " he started to say, but the words were lost as he was suddenly yanked forward, his feet scrabbling to keep up. "Wait a second - "
Oh, look, I'm in the air again. Except this time it wasn't by his own choice. Beta Five flailed for a brief moment, then felt his feet hit the ground, staggering forward and then back in an attempt to not fall off the next island.
"Erm," he said again, though this time with some bemusement, glancing over at the guy who had grabbed him - Eta V, if the number scrawled onto his gas mask were correct. "Thank you..? I think..?"
I seriously need a vacation.

Two's company, but three's a crowd right now.
Zeta Five had no problem being in close quarters with Theta Two. None at all. Sadly his alone time was cut short as another individual decided to stop by them to say hello while they were floating precariously in mid air over a deep pit. "Number Nine!" he said joyfully, she was OK, alive and kicking errr, Jumping. "Long time no see." He would have asked her more questions about how they were doing, but the feeling of the ground shaking under his feet took much more concern. Smiles were all gone as he had to think about what to do.
They had to move, to get to a safer, non "sinking into a pit" island.
He looked over to Number Two, it wouldn't take much to carry her over to a safer place. But she knew how to move on her own, she didn't need a knight in shining armor. "Two, lets get moving!" He hollered out as he took a leap of faith to the island in front.
Bad day bad day bad day!

( sorrysorry its so short, just wanted to get it in before taking a shower ; v; b )
Startled by the company by not one, but two more people to her platform, the Theta struggled to hold onto her balance as the uneven ground beneath her tilted and moaned pathetically, as though it were not used to weight. Turning her eyes to the Zeta, she purred softly, her tone thick with amusement, exhilaration, breathlessness, and you'd better survive, you b*****d. "Right behind you, boyo," She said with a lighthearted sound as the two leaped forward, though in her mind, she was beginning to doubt that all of them could make it across so safely. Her heart hammered in her chest as she watched the other two go, leaping and bounding for a safer place. There was only a minute hesitation, only a small countdown for her own self to hear.
Three, two, one...
And then she jumped.

While the six humans were still leaping to safety, the islands gave a final shudder and fell. Two humans fell with them, unlucky enough to have not made it. The hooded figure frowned. Two was better than all six falling, but this was unexpected for him. His voice easily carried to all the humans from the 'winning' side of the chasm. "It seems we have lost two competitors - Zeta Seven and Eta Five, I believe you called them." He spared a moment to glance at the changes to the island path. "You also seem to have lost your way back, so carry on. I do hope the rest of the islands hold up under you..."  * Numbers on the map refer to post order numbers, not character name numbers ^_~ *
Island #6 is now a shortcut. The usual shortcut second roll must be taken for those passing it.
Round Two begins now. The updated post order is:
1. soliloquy in aria
2. Syusaki
3. artificial insomnia
4. Kuro-Mizuki
6. the_scowling_cat
8. Never Crazy
9. kaori_luv
10. Drifter Jet Enduro
11. Diseased Candy
12. junglerunner
13. Zyphiris
- GM POST -
Those of you sharing an island with someone else can now choose to push them rather than to move, if you wish. Please see the first page for the dice roll needed for that action. ))

No, its sinking, the rock was falling, Zeta Seven had to jump now. "Crap, crap crap Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap" He knew what he had to do. To jump, to survive, to play by their rules and destroy those that can't live up to those expectations.
He only just learned it too late.
Gravity was a cruel mistress as he plummeted down into the ground with only a fleeting glance of Theta Two to keep him company. "Don't forget." one second he was there, the other, gone in a cloud of dust.
(Zeta Seven has fallen and can't get it up. )
