☆DISCORD AND RHYME: SIGN UP PT 2

[interdimanagers]

☆STUNT SIGN UPS

Now that we know what shit people are willing to put up with, we have an official list of “stunts” for people to be forced to participate in to earn their freedom out of the carnival. “Forced” is sort of flexible - if your character has no interest in following the game plan or saving the Pride members being used as bait, they can really just do whatever they want. But for plot reasons (and so all this stuff didn’t get planned for no reason) it won’t result in much besides having some wacky shenanigans going on in the sidelines while other people do the challenges. And possibly getting beat on by carnies.

As it goes, all the “challengers” (AKA people not being used as bait) will be released in the center of the park and allowed to explore. In particular, they will be searching for the “sacrifices” (AKA the bait) in 5 different locations, where they will have to do some kind of bullshit stunt to save the bait (and, it is implied, themselves) from being murdered. Nobody will actually die no matter what happens, but it’ll be closer than is appropriate for any prank, no matter how ambitious. Getting hurt is more likely than not.

Each stunt will be given a brief description here (a longer one will be given with the event post) and a number of challengers required for it to not auto fail, and also the max it can handle without it being redundant. Sign ups are going to be done on a first come first serve basis, so if a stunt is full nobody else can participate. You’re also asked to declare whether you want your character to succeed or fail at the stunt - this won’t necessarily be the end all in whether or not the task is won, but if you want your character to generally fuck up or be useful because that’s what would be IC, that’s your place to say so. Other characters may be able to pick up the slack - it will depend on the stunt. You will be given a Success or Fail depending on what the group submits.

You may notice: the bait is made up of the youngest members of each band, and two from System Crash because it is basically baby central. Maybe in some mindset this is merciful because it means they don’t have to do any tasks themselves...but then again, scaring the shit out of a bunch of kids isn’t really that great either. Each “bait” has a keycard on them that is supposedly necessary to complete the “trials” and exit the park. With a prize! yay.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not powerplay! This means, don’t have your character complete these tasks with miraculous ease, because remember: no one has their ninja grace or super strength here. Most people are not going to remember being familiar with being assaulted or kidnapped. This event is like a haunted house - and showing off with how not scared you are isn’t any fun at all.

To make sure that every stunt gets participation, please try to make sure at least 2 people attend each stunt before moving on to 3rd slots. You can use the rest of this post for misc plotting. Here is the form:

<b>Name:</b> <b>Character:</b> <b>Relevant Skills:</b> Is your character particularly good at anything relevant to this stunt? In their persona identity, of course. <b>Succeed/Fail:</b> Do you want your character to succeed or fail? How hard do they try? How well do you imagine they’ll do? Why do you think they’ll fail, if that’s what you chose?
