[Fortuna]: Luck depends on no one....right? (4/3)

>Cea: Be immediately taken by BOLDER's rugged Vigilante charms.

>Cobalt: Haven't you seen that guy somewhere? Eh, all these notails look the same with their smug catsmile having, stutter speaking, inexplicably charming-heywaitaminute.

>Cea: Begin negotiations!

Fortuna rolls two 20 sided dices. An 11 and 17 are rolled.

"You were always the most reasonable one here, so I'll just lay it down straight. A bunch of people said this planet is going to die so let's just put aside our differences and then get this over with as quickly as possible because you know I want to be here as much as you.

"We need to get somewhere on this planet, with this ship, to blow something up before it blows all of us up. I know the rest of your crew probably won't be happy about working with me, so sell it to them like this: they'll get to blow things up. And if a few priceless arts get plundered amidst the havoc, well, that's to be expected in a time of conflict, so there wouldn't be any use in me saying anything to anyone else about it or trying to stop it."

> Cea: Accept your defeat and turn back to Marble with the bad news.

or...

> Nikki: Formulate the "best lie anyone has ever told ever", and try to worm yourselves out of the situation. (Or make the situation a bit worse.) Maybe something like "but these are the captain's orders" or "but pirates are at that party and we must stop them"?

> Nikki: Formulate the "best lie anyone has ever told ever", and try to worm yourselves out of the situation. (Or make the situation a bit worse.) Maybe something like "but these are the captain's orders" or "but pirates are at that party and we must stop them"?

Addendum:

Fortuna: roll three nat 20's, and not have them reroll.

How to tell what games Gime has been obsessed with recently: look at the background music they start using for Fortuna.

>Cea: "But this is a party that will destroy the world, pirates like to destroy things, thus there will likely be pirates at the party for you to destroy!"

Sound about right?

> Cea: [Intelligence check] Think of a reason BOLDER would want to go to Dali's party
(if fail:
> Cea: give up, start heading out to let Marble know.
> Nikki: [Intelligence check] Ask Cea why he thought BOLDER would want to go to a celebratory end of the world party held by likes of Dali? He's responsible for almost everything that happened on this planet: 70 - 80% of the blood spilt is on his hands. Even then, BOLDER couldn't even get in the door without an invitation or a friend with one.
(I.E. Effectively tell BOLDER that Dali is practically a criminal, only indirectly, so he thinks of it him self. hopefully.))

> Cea: Charisma Check

> Cea: Accept your defeat and turn back to Marble with the bad news.

> Nikki: Formulate the "best lie anyone has ever told ever", and try to worm yourselves out of the situation. (Or make the situation a bit worse.) Maybe something like "but these are the captain's orders" or "but pirates are at that party and we must stop them"?

Fortuna: roll nat 20's

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided dice. A 17 is rolled.




























Fortuna rolls a 20 sided dice for a miracle! Due to Nikki's luck a 10 or above will pass it. A 7 is rolled.

> Cea: "Right, we'll go tell Dio that and start checking other ways to get to the party and confront Dali,-bye."

Coffee, despite what many might think, coffee is well known across hundreds of nations all over the world. Coffee has been around for several centuries and has a very important meaning in the lives of many. It would be safe to assume that coffee is going to be around for a long time and have an enormous impact on the lives of many people.

Coffee has a large role in culture. Many people can often be seen taking part in activities associated with coffee. This is partly because people of most ages can be involved and families are brought together by this. Generally a person who displays their dislike for coffee may be considered an outcast.

It is not common practice to associate economics with coffee. Generally, coffee would be thought to have no effect on our economic situation, but there are in fact some effects. The sales industry associated with coffee is actually a 1.3 billion dollars a year industry and growing each year. The industry employs nearly 150,000 people in the United States alone. It would be safe to say that coffee plays an important role in American economics and shouldn't be taken for granted.

After a three month long research project, I've been able to conclude that coffee doesn't negatively affect the environment at all. A coffee did not seem to result in waste products and couldn't be found in forests, jungles, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc... In fact, coffee produced some positive effects on our sweet little nature.

Oh does coffee ever influence politics. Last year 5 candidates running for some sort of position used coffee as the primary topic of their campaign. A person might think coffee would be a bad topic to lead a campaign with, but in fact with the social and environmental impact is has, this topic was able to gain a great number of followers. These 5 candidates went 4 for 5 on winning their positions.

Coffee seems to be a much more important idea that most give credit for. Next time you see or think of coffee, think about what you just read and realize what is really going on. It is likely you undervalued coffee before, but will now start to give the credited needed and deserved.

> Cea: "Right, we'll go tell Dio that and start checking other ways to get to the party and confront Dali,-bye."

Spoiler Right now you can vote to stay on the ship (with another command saying what Marble and co should do) or you can vote to swap over to latta. Do note that because Latta is being controlled by athena that the updates will basically be in auto mode. I'll try my best to keep all the railroad/auto/athena controlled updates to 3-4 updates.

(Preferably with some kick-ass parallel between the two plotlines, like if Latta says "Now come on, let's go outside" directly after we switch. I love when that happens.)

>Nikki: Consider building a device to seize control of the ship.

Alternatively:

>Cea: Ask if there is anybody on board who could help us. (Flint is on board for instance.)

You know, if we made or found a clock we could perhaps manage to turn BOLDER into something less threathening or hard headed. This'd involve Cea making a luck check, though.

>Stay on the ship for a little longer, but switch over to Latta to see what she's up to

You realize that these separate plot lines are going to intertwine in a humorous fashion now?

Wait, Kelda merged with Echidna didn't she? So that means that Keldna should be affected by Nikki's [chip magnet].

> Nikki: Seduce Kelda, seize control of the ship.

You realize that these separate plot lines are going to intertwine in a humorous fashion now?

..There is a pterodactyl in Kelda's brain. In fact, it's probably the smartest thing in Kelda's brain. I wonder what would happen if Gink spots other pterodactyls.

Wait, Kelda merged with Echidna didn't she? So that means that Keldna should be affected by Nikki's [chip magnet].

> Nikki: Seduce Kelda, seize control of the ship.

Haha, deff seconding this! xD

Fortuna: Ship dating simulator

>CJ: Is there anyone Marble would like to see on ship, of she never never see them again? Since BOLDER seems set on staying here, even if it kills everyone.

>Cea: Ask if there is anybody on board who could help us. (Flint is on board for instance.)

> Nikki: Seduce Kelda, seize control of the ship.

I'll accept this command once Nikki knows about Kelda recent infection.

> CJ: Move

Marble: fall asleep

Conveniently on top of Cea.

Marble: fall asleep

>Depot: Offer her some coffee to stay awake.

Alternatively

>Nikki: We're either going to Nova or to Dio. P-pick. ;3

> Cea: Smile
> Marble: "Cea, NO."
> Cea: Say "Cea, Yes". By running for it.

> Marble:Are you still in earshot of Cobalt?
