Welcome to Gaia! ::

capture track rules

The fast route is the route tasked with actually physically finding the rogue werecreature! Because of this, they may traverse Blackfriars at will and speak to as many NPCs as they feel are necessary. However, the fast route characters must reach a majority before making any decision, and they may not split up.

Fast route players must post quickly: there will be two to three GM guide posts per day. Generally, these will start around 1500hrs PST, with a little wiggle room because shibe is an employed type of dude, and end around 0000 PST. The first post of every day will move the clock forward half an hour. If you miss a round of GM posts, your character's absence will be glossed over or they will be moved off to the sidelines.

This route requires a lot of moving around, and as such you must use the maps provided in the information thread to determine where you are within the second and third floors of the library. GM posts will say where you currently are in the library at the bottom in big font.

Each character has 20 hit points. You must keep track of your hit points at the bottom of your post! Should you hit 0 hit points, you will be sent to the first floor with a level 6 injury and will not be able to return to the fast route.

If you want to use a power, please quote shibrogane to let him know! Remember that overusing your powers will result in consequences at the GM's discretion, up to and including passing the ******** out.

Post your decisions at the bottom of your post in bold type. Be sure to mention where you want to go at the bottom of every post.

You can switch sides on the fast track ONCE. And only once.

objective: stay alive

There are more enemies than just the one werecreature, of course. Otherwise it'd be too easy! Scattered throughout the upper stories are people who exhibit the same terrifying transformation as the rogue, and who are driven by the same pain and fear. They attack on sight, and it's your job to deal with them so that the first floor doesn't have to.

Attacking weres have 60 HP each; this is because there's way more of you than there are of them and they tend not to attack in groups. They roll 1d10 to attack. Players roll 2d6; your first number is the damage you do to the rogue. If your first number is EVEN, you use your second d6 to determine how much damage the were does to you. Once you get a were down to 10HP or lower, you will have two options: mercy or murder. Any attack on a were below the HP threshold is an automatic kill.

Unless you have a specifically offensive magic power, you cannot use magic on the same turn as you attack.

You can find weres by successfully chasing one down or entering an area where one is lurking! You will be informed if you have entered combat by bright red letters in a mod post.

Should your HP drop to 0, you'll be forced to go downstairs with level 6 injuries, and will not be able to return to the upper stories! So choose your actions wisely.

Each character only gets ONE ACTION per round. If you roll to chase, then you cannot roll to fight any enemies in your area, perform any magic, search the area, or join the slow route downstairs!

The gaggle of people talked the blonde boy down, and for a moment Lily relaxed, her tail drooping back to its resting state. She glanced over to Falco and her ears flattened, hiding her hands from sight.

This isn't what she'd meant when she texted him that she'd see him on the flip side.

"Hey," her voice wavered, biting her bottom lip. She glanced down at the cat, and then back up at the boy, raising an eyebrow. "I don't know if being a cat owner puts us on the same level of weird, Guitar Hero--"

Someone opened the door to the bathroom and Lily's head swiveled, smelling the blood. At the detective's prompting, she frowned but nodded, looking further down the library hall. "If he's not here, then we should keep moving," she responded, her eyes distant.

HP: 20

Chris followed in, keeping and eye on Jamie and Shiloh. The pair was practically attached to each other, which made it easy to watch.

"Huh," Chris thought, tapping his chin. "Should we search it more? It might tell us where it went. Give us an idea at least."

Moon walkers? Like Michael Jackson?

Slowly entering, America smelled the blood before she saw it, no special nose needed and jesus wept. "Guess it didn't like what it saw," America commented softly, grimly hoping the blood belonged to them.

Nearing Lily, she asked, "Are you um...is the word moonwalkers?"
