VLDR: Convention of the Minds - WORST ENDING

[Arckas]

I'll take you up on that. Flip a coin?

Oh right, we have no money. You tee is off.

[PolyesterHomes]

Abner leaves the door and renters the game room.

[PolyesterHomes]

Joan enters.

[Knockoff]

Well, I just finished shooting myself in the head at Russian Roulette. Perhaps one of you will be more fortunate.

[Phinerxen]

Hey. Anyone been able to get a lighter or anything that gives off light?

[Hawkwing425]

What do you mean, shooting yourself in the head?

[Arckas]

No but I’ll help you look for one.

Tried the closet?

[Knockoff]

There’s a simulation of Russian Roulette you play with three mannequins. You load at least one bullet and shoot yourself in the head with a fake gun before passing it on. Goal is to be the last one alive.

[Phinerxen]

I haven't checked the closet, no. I'm just trying to work around the fuse box but there isn't any light there, so it's not safe.

[Hawkwing425]

I can go give it a shot. Is it entirely luck-based?

[Knockoff]

I think it’s better to load a decent amount of bullets in the gun at first. It’s risky, but increases the chances of all the mannequins shooting themselves. Even if you load one bullet, you only have a 1/3 chance of survival on your second turn, if I understand correctly.

[Knockoff]

I don’t know if it’s entirely luck based, but just loading one bullet didn’t work out for me.

[Hawkwing425]

Is it that all the mannequins have to shoot themselves to win the simulation?

[Knockoff]

Yes. You have to be the last person alive.

[PolyesterHomes]

Pam enters.

[PolyesterHomes]

Joan and Michael leaves.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Hello.

[PolyesterHomes]

Pam goes through the Alder wood door.

[Hawkwing425]

[Inteus busies himself with watching Tom and Mark's pool game.]

[Cyantic]

Tom grabs a pool cue and racks together the balls.

You know, I think the best use of our time is trying to get CFC off the ground. Or at least trying to counter opposition to it, but who really knows where they all ran off too. Kind of annoying everyone bailed at the same time. Still.

He looks mildly contemplative.

You know, something occurred to me.

[Hawkwing425]

What's that?

[Cyantic]

Mhm. My good Doctor, do you pass legislation?

[PolyesterHomes]

Tom is currently winning the game by one ball.

[Hawkwing425]

Legislation? What do you mean?

[leeten]

Looks like Mark beat me to it.

Peter leans against the edge of the table, watching Tom shift around the ball rack.

All things considering, they're probably playing this out as a survivalist scenario. Scrounging for weapons. Coming up with convoluted plans.

If we have any laws, as the Taskmaster hinted, then we should at least write one to protect the interests of CDC. If that's too martial law, well, the law's all we got there. At least we're sticking together. Might want to send a group over to communications in case someone goes rouge and holes themselves up in there. Manages to persuade some politician to fire off a nuke. You never know with civies.

Anyone scope this place out yet? Seen what it looks like?
