Prison - Part 3 - Clowning around
This powerful, charimatic/charming party continues onward down the hall! The hall is very plain, there's no doors. It's just a corridor that leads to a large room full of crates. A storage room, if you will.
The guard, the one now named Bottle (though I guess you don't know this, but it makes life easier) offers you a word: "I can't gurantee your stuff is here, because Drakonic Drake would have sold it by now, but you can find some rations and equipment here if you're lucky..."
Before he does anything, Slot pulls the guard away from the group and speaks to him, "You know, you helped us out, and I don't even know your name yet. Think you can tell me?"
Oh, wise move. Smart! He turns his head quickly, shyly, and mutters. "It's Bottle. Nothing much to it than that."
"It suits you though," Slot says quietly, leaning up to press a quick kiss to his cheek. "Thanks, Bottle." He says that last part loud enough for everyone to hear so that everyone knows his name.
SO. SMOOTH. When they get a chance to rest, Juno just might ask Slot how he does it... for now, it's time to scavenge what they can get though!
Ddusk waves, "Thanks Botty!" She's not gonna kiss him on the cheek.
She also isn't sure what Slot was saying but might as well.
Bottle's face reddens and he stands in the corner. THIS IS SAFE! FROM THE DISTRACTING WONDERFUL SLUT THE RUMORED!
As for your finds:
Juno finds
• a Rusted Blade. It deals 1 Attack DMG, but only 5 uses before it breaks! It feels very gross in your hands though...
• A clown outfit that increases Charm by 1, increases Defense by 1, but lowers the Quest score by 2 because it has loud squeaky shoes. Also it's very vibrant.
Dusk finds:
• a sphere made of glass that feels warm to the touch. When thrown, it shatters and casts a burst that traps the enemy in a ring of fire. It requires a Quest / 11 roll to throw since it's so slippery... you need to be careful and not drop it around yourself and your party!
• a tin of coffee beans (+1 Wood Material! You can actually list this on the Party's material page since you guys share materials now! To make life easier.) That said, eating the Coffee Beans straight will give you 1 Hope, but halve your Wit until the end of the day or whatever. Also it tastes terrible.
Slot finds:
• A flashlight! It'll do the obvious and illuminate odd areas. It can also be distracting if being sexy isn't distracting enough.
• A small box of clock parts—3 machine parts to add to the Party's Material list!
• A revolver that deals 1D6 damage... except, you don't have experience with guns (ie NO AIM ABILITY) so you won't be able to control it well...
• A shield that grants you +2 HP! The shield looks like a pair of boobs though, so the wielder will lose 2 Charm unless they are into a person carrying around boobie armor. It's just weird is all!
SO THAT SAID, YOU GUYS SHARE A MATERIAL LIST NOW! It's on the Party tab, the first one. Just list the total and maybe include a small description (or I can do that since it's the first time.)
Swinging the sword around, Juno decides It Will Do for now... even if it's gross. The clown outfit though... "Does, um, anyone want this?"
"Or does anyone want this gun?" Slot says holding it up. He'll flirt with Bottle more, but this is kind of important right now
"If only the clown outfit was cuter..." She murmurs. Will it destrot her idol image?
But it might be better than stripes.
As they sort the items out amongst themselves, eventually the group takes a moment to rest...! When they do, Juno is approaching both Dusk and Slot seriously.
Dusk blinks at the serious Juno. "Hiya! Are you still feeling down?" :O
"Yeah, Juno?" Slot says, tossing the boob armor to the side.
"Um... a little... the thing is..." They blush a little and look down, blonde hairshadowing their face as they scuff their feet on the floor. Shy. "You both seem to know how to really appeal to people, and... I think I really failed at that with the twins... so... that doesn't happen again... could you maybe... teach me?"
"Serious question, do you wanna do it like how I do it or how Dusk does it?"
Dusk actually looks a little embarrassed?! Oh nooo. PLEASED AS PUNCH ACTUALLY.
"Both?" Juno says, confused at first, then more serious. Yes. Both had pros and cons and could be used as a situation calls for!! "Mm. Both." They just really, really, really want to learn how to be an all around emotional terror.
Slot examines Juno, taking in their entire appearance. Hmm... he could work with this. "You'd really be a force to be reckoned with if you could charm people like Dusk and I can at the same time."
"It is nice to hear you say that we're good at appealing to people . . . I've been working really, really hard!" Dusk nods, sparkling glitter stars just shooting out of her entire form. "I am sure you'll be able to do it! In fact, I do think those twins liked you a lot! I bet it has something to do with that cult though, right? So we just gotta find answers . . . and then Juno can use their own charm to find those answers! I think those guys would like that probably..."
Perking up, Juno beams back at Slot and Dusk with the force of A THOUSAND SUNS, WOW, SO BLINDING. They are definitely a natural at this.
"Oh yeah, definitely a force to be reckoned with!" Slot says with a laugh.
"Yeah! Juno has their own charm, you just gotta believe in that a little bit more!" She nods furiously. "With enough charm, you can make friends with everyone." Right????????
"And know how to apply it, to get what you want." Slot adds on.
"Yes!" Juno says emphatically. They want to make friends! They want to KEEP friends, and make sure they won't hurt or betray anyone!! And stuff! And things!! "I'm glad you both understand."
"I hope I do understand." Dusk's smile changes to actually a softer one for once.
Slot, your eyes meet with someone in this room—it's not necessarily romantic or anything, but it's a good vibe! Maybe it's a determined look shared between court members! Or maybe it's romantic if it's Bottle.
GM: Your eyes lock with Juno's! It's a shared bond. After sharing such information, you get a feeling of warmth.
And, relating to what Dusk rolled, the sounds of friendship have ushered three guests into the room!
Specifically, 3 Dragonic Guards. Normally this roll would bring random monsters/people that might want to trade with you!
But this is prison.
And you escaped your jail cell.
They point their brandished spears at you.
"What's going on here?! How did you get out, just what do you think you're doing?!"
Dusk looks up, probably in clown garb, cute and sparkling. "Hi! I'm here to entertain!" At least, that's what she's been told.
"Um... yes!" Juno pipes up, quickly shoving weapons behind their back, "It's, um... an entertainment program... for prisoners!"
"We'll do a little dance!"
She twirls around, skirt floating. "Yes!"
Squeak squeak.
"Entertainment..."
They're baffled, but...
Goddamn you guys are so convincing, what the fuck?
"Okay, go on, dance then."
"Yeah, this job kills me. I want some fun."
"Tell some jokes, too!"
"Sing a song!"
Paling, Juno shuffles a bit... they... they don't know ANYTHING about how to entertain, not about dancing or singing or... maybe... maybe they could try a joke? Sometimes the stars told them jokes, deep in the temple when they needed cheering up.
"Ah, well... 'Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight! Blue sky at night... day."
Slot does some sick dance moves that are actually fighting moves repurposed for entertainment purposes.
"Uwaaah, look at them go, everyone!" Dusk takes no time to find herself in a center position once it's her turn, using something like a wooden plank or whatever as a mic. "Everyoooone! I hope you're ready! You get a secret, special performance so don't tell anyone ok~ :sparkles: " She does a twirl and pose. before:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwqvrGaGXDI (some sort of dance like this ok)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8xxgFpK-NM (Capoeira Video Ever for slot)
The guards applaud the dancers! They kind of give Juno a look. That doesn't make sense! But it's ok, the dancing makes up for it.
"Wow, the boss hired some nice entertainers!"
"Yeah, gotta love that dancing!"
"The one's kind of a dud though, I didn't get the joke?"
Either way, the end result is that they're pleased.
"So, where to next?"
"Yeah, how long are you guys here for? It's getting kind of late."
...Dusk looks at the others??? Did they ever decide on this.
Juno droops... they really do need some charm lessons...
Now you have to own up to your lies.
And meanwhile, Bottle's in the corner, popcorning and having no part in this.
He might have swooned a little at Slot's dance moves.
"We are here to find the rest of our fans! Do you know where we can find them?"
"Rest of your fans... ehhhhh, you referin' to the rest of the guards?"
"I know Bimbo, Postit, Treble, and Horn start their shift in fifteen."
"Yeah, and there's some guys over in cell four..."
They start discussing the shifts of their coworkers, and the coworkers that are CURRENTLY present. Really, they want to keep you here to make you dance/sing/joke your socks off.
Slot sighs and wipes a hand across his sweat covered brow. "We'd love to entertain more, but we're kinda parched! Think you guys can get us some water?"
The guards look over Slot.
"You guys just started, you don't need water!"
"Come on, let's go see the guys in cell four."
"Hey, let's show the boss, too!"
Slot blinks and curses under his breath. He used up all his charm on making Bottle swoon. Well, it's not like it wasn't a good use of it, but he could really use some right now. He smiles and holds up a finger at the guards to let them know to give them a second and then he quietly heads to Dusk and tugs on her sleeve.
"Help me charm them into leaving..." he says in a puppy-ish whine.
Dusk nods and trips iyaaaaa~n, crashing to the ground, and proceeds to making a sad face. "Ah . . . sorry for that embarrassing moment. We just wanted to entertain you all to the best of our abilities . . . "
There's an uproar of UWAAAH, she's so cute and they're so worried!!
"You were great!"
"Hey, hey, she needs water!"
"I can go get it!"
The one turns to leave, but is that enough to get away...? Hm.
Juno's lips have parted in an impressed 'o'.
