06.50 - week six, saturday
W6 SATURDAY
It’s Saturday…and things seem a little more standard, this time, when Lorelei makes a quick announcement on the tablets again at 8am:
”Good morning, students. It’s time for your sixth…and final official lesson. Yes. What this means is that this is the final detected orb located here, and while this does not indicate the end of the course just yet, it is the final day for your evaluation. Florence will meet you in front of the grocery store at 8pm tonight. Please do not be late. You are also free to bring a self-defense weapon with you, and any pain-alleviating items you have received. Nothing else will be allowed.”
She seems to be her usual self this time, and this certainly seems a lot kinder than the "trust exercise" from last week.

With the memories of last week’s lesson still lingering, a bit of wariness would be understandable. Still, Florence did say that this week shouldn’t be nearly so bad - whether you believe them or not is up to you - and they’re there at the grocery store, ready for another lesson.
They do seem a bit distracted, as it takes them a moment before they address everyone.
“Hello. Today’s lesson will be focused purely on cooperation. It is another journey into an orb, so things may be unpredictable, but nothing so severe…”
They trail off, before nodding at nothing.
“There is a storm. You must prepare to survive it, and prepare for any other eventualities. As I said, it may be unpredictable. I will be around to help in any way I possibly can.”
With that, it’s off into another orb - and the lush island on the other side. Surely this won’t be too hard, right?

OOC NOTE
Welcome to Week 6 Saturday's event. As Lorelei stated above, this is the final orb lesson for the game. Characters will have to work together to survive on a deserted island through an oncoming storm. How this will work OOCly is simple:
There will be three phases. Planning, gathering, and constructing. Planning will be short and mostly designed to have everyone gather their bearings and figure out who's doing what. Gathering will be collecting materials to help with their survival. Constructing will involve fortifying your "home base" so to speak.
Gathering and Constructing will run for 2 hours each. At the 1 hour mark for both phases, however, random events will happen that may throw characters off-kilter. There may be other things in between depending on character actions, but you can expect them at the hour mark at the very least. Planning will only last for 30 minutes, unless an extension is needed.
These instructions are not IC. This is for OOC organizational purposes.
We also have a section for people to submit threads so we can track progress and determine the outcome of the event. Qualifying threads must have at least 5 comments from you; more details can be found on the top level below.
The storm will happen at 5pm EST.

Thankfully he has a few more in his back pocket. So, he does his best to whack hard at its claws with his driftwood, trying to knock it off guard so he can aim at that spot again with another dart. ]
no subject
Well.
It does manage to lodge itself into the crab's weak point, but it's a very large crab and a very small dart. All Fai has done is manage to slow the crab down.
The next attack from the crab is a miss, at least...]
no subject
Owen, give me your stick.
[ That will be much more effective than a dart. ]
no subject
no subject
Riddy! Could you throw some knives for me?
no subject
[ here go his three knives, aimed at the parts unprotected by the shell!! rolled a 12 and 17 on the first two, and a 7 on the third. ]
no subject
The crab is listing to one side, half of it's legs seeming to be unable to move thanks to nerve damage...
Which gives Fai the opening he needs to take his Owen-gifted stick and stab it into the weak point for massive damage, immobilizing the crab completely.]
no subject
[ It's immobilized! Fai uses the stick again to hopefully kill it this time. No more threats!! Hopefully. ]
no subject
Prey slaughtered!]
no subject
[ He drops the stick and lets out a relieved sigh. ]
Well, now we have even more food!
no subject
G- Good job, everyone! W- We can use the shell, too... for plates, bowls, w-weapons...
no subject
Great song! And great idea! It shouldn't be too difficult to clean all of it out.
no subject
[It's a testament for how much Owen
likestolerates Fai that he hands it over, though.He is very decidedly trying to keep out of this fight because he will not come back here, unlike in that memory with Gay Fire Guy.]
no subject
[ He'll take that stick while fending off the giant crab with his driftwood...
Then he'll aim for the ganglia again, this time with a bigger weapon!! ]
no subject
[Which is pointy and probably more sturdy than a hut stick but possibly less good if Fai is looking to finesse this. Otherwise Shin can just help smack away its legs or something.]
no subject
[ He trusts combat boy... ]
