You would never go back under regular circumstances, but you need to find a potential idol recruit. The place looks mostly the same, what with all the random fires, impoverished folk, and the rampant crime taking place in broad daylight. Actually, the term "broad daylight" was probably incorrect to use, since sunlight couldn't reach down here. "Jesus, it really is a hellhole." Rochelle winces."I know, right?" Cole rolls her eyes. "Never thought I'd be coming back here.""Oh, come on, Cole, the Tombs sort of has its own little charm!" Julie says.(cont)
>>31006160"Julie, those nostalgia goggles must be on so tight they're cutting off bloodflow to your brain." Rochelle sighs. "Who in the world would miss THIS?""Well, for one, I can't beat up nearly as many people and get away with it up top as I could down here.""Of course." Cole rolls her eyes again."Girls, focus." You scowl. "We're in enemy territory. Rochelle, how is K-Zwolf holding up?""Just fine." Rochelle says, turning to take a look in the trunk. "Of course, his threat detection programming is going crazy.""Cole, Julie, you know where this fight ring is?" You ask."Yeah, just a mile or two down that way." Julie points.Unfortunately, from what you can see, that direction takes you down through the Tombs' equivalent of a downtown. Lots and lots of people milling about, and in your experience, that means lots and lots of potential for ambush.Then again, your armored vehicle and the girls should be more than enough to repel any threats.>Just cut straight through.>Go around.>Other
>>31006170>>Just cut straight through.
>>31006170>Just cut straight through.Today we fight a cage match! Who hyped?
>>31006253So when do we pull out our own bag of tricks during the fight?
>>31006282Our Idols holding a guerrilla concert and singing songs from Metal Gear Rising, for one.
Gentlemen, we have recently discovered subliminal messages in Clover Entertainment's songs which will be an interest for everyone. Our master cryptoanalyst, Professor Rachel Nottokkentizen.(1/2)
>>31006170>Just cut straight through.
>>31006340Throughout all musical revolutions, there has always been the accusation of subliminal messages in music to brainwash people. Now we have been doing this for the past 50 years, but it appears that Clover Entertainment has successfully encoded messages in their music. During Clover's television debut, we realized that Rin's singing had everyone entranced like men to Sirens. Our legions of expert cryptoanalysts funded by trillions of dollars around the globe further analyzed her songs, revealing that when played backwards at five times slower speed, while playing Metallica's "Master of Puppets" at varying speeds according to the Fibonacci Sequence at the same time, and then applying an advanced logarithm to the data, one can clearly hear the message "Hail Satan. Zero. Four. Twenty." at the 4 minutes and 20 second mark. This undoubtedly proves that Clover is trying to spread devil worship throughout the country using her siren song. This may sound like a mere fluke, or the ramblings of an ultraconservative parent, it gets worse. Much worse. When one reads the 420th comment on the viral video of Cole fighting at the prom, it reads "YOLOSWAG 420JESUS#". For the past weeks, we've been trying to decipher its meaning, spending over one million dollars, and we think we have the answer. Our best code breakers believe that "YOLOSWAG" is a cleverly devised code word used to communicate to hidden anti-authoritarian cells throughout the country, while "420JESUS#" is a message meaning that like Jesus, they plan to metaphorically rise from the shadows and fight us openly! With their Siren songs being played on the air, Clover's listeners will be brainwashed into fighting against the organizations that we own, and not even our cutest Girl Scout assassins or militaries can take them out if they keep amassing followers!(2/2)
>>31006170>>Just cut straight through.Have Cole do fireworks while standing on the roof of the car.
Rolled 18>>31006170>>Just cut straight through.
Gentlemen, given our increasingly dire situation and the certain... reluctance... of our group to act, I have devised a plan that allows us to undermine Clover's activities with little risk to our own plans.Using recent advancements in nano-gene mods, we can influence the telomeres of anyone within a radius of a gas bomb's detonation. Telomeres control aging, thus allowing us to send the entire staff back ten years.They will be forced to become a children's idol group, limiting their demographic reach and allowing us to perfect Project Blacklight and Songbird.
>>31006378Or more obviously, get every one to point their weapon outside and fire warning shots.
>>31006170"Jenner, just drive us straight through. The sooner we get this over with, the better." You say."Whatever you say, Producer." Jenner nods.>roll 1d20

Rolled 13>>31006462Rolling for the age of the producer after the reverse age bomb goes off. And >>31006462
>>31006494Aww, nothing happened.I was hoping our vehicle gets attacked specifically because it doesn't look like a military vechile.
Rolled 17>>31006505Might as well see what age Cole gets to be
>>31006561And that's the problem with rolling for it. Just let it be ten years back, with certain idols (Rochelle and Rin) away when the bomb goes off.
>>31006596Oh well, the roll could be for Jenner then.
Rolled 4>>31006596I dunno, Cole having to act like an older sibling would be hilarious.
>>31006623Jenner and Producer should be the same age for... reasons...>>31006626True. Maybe Cole only breathes in a little of the gas and gets sent back 5 years.
>>31006623Oh boy, 13 year old hormone filled Producer drooling over 17 year old Jenner. This will be good.
Rolled 7>>31006642or maybe it has a reduced effect due to her genemods.
Also, let's not forget our support staff. Lilith would be back to the prime of her idol days.
>>31006649Wait the Producer is younger then Jenner?I thought they were the same age if maybe a year or two difference>>31006440You guys stole my idea.You can have it and I approve
>>31006664Ho man, Jenner and Lilith will get in a catfight to bang the producer
>>31006462Considering you had a really nice looking car, of course you were drawing a LOT of attention. Too much, in fact. You were afraid people were going to start mobbing your vehicle."Don't worry, Producer, I got this." Cole sighs. She pops the sun roof open and stands up so she can be clearly seen by the crowd."HEY FUCKERS." She yells, shooting off a few lightning bolts from her fingers for added effect. "FUCK OFF."And just like that, literally everybody bolts out of sight, and within seconds, the street is completely deserted."Looks like my reputation hasn't gone down on bit." Cole smirks."Aw, I wanted to do that." Julie pouts."Julie, you would have INVITED them to start a fight.""T-That's not true..." Julie says unconvincingly. "Sir, permission to ask never to come back here?" Rochelle says, ignoring her two fellow idols."I'm seriously considering it." You nod.With that, you finally arrive at the Pit, which was basically the Old Detroit sports stadium. You park outside."Jenner, K-Zwolf, you keep an eye on the SUV. Anybody gives you funny looks, you're free to fire.""Got it." Jenner nods."ACKNOWLEDGED." K-Zwolf rumbles. For this mission, you put in Heavy Support mode, for more intimidation factor."Alright, Cole, Julie, you know the terrain here. You can can take the lead.""This way!" Julie says in a singsong voice as she leads you along."That girl is WAY too happy." Cole frowns."Yeah, I really wonder what she sees in this place." Rochelle shakes her head.Following Julie, you finally reach the central arena. Tombs denizens crowd the bleachers while in the center, you see men and women duking it out like the Roman gladiators of old."Hmmm, doesn't look like she's up." Juile frowns. "She might be down in the pens waiting her turn, or something.">Wait to see if she comes up. Might as well watch the fight.>Try to infiltrate the pens to find her.>Try to find whoever is in charge here.>Other
>>31006788As mentioned above, maybe Jenner inhaled less gas than Producer or was a safer distance away..
>>31006789Not to mention Jenner and Lilith (along with Rochelle and Rin) singing a show together.
>>31006809>Try to find whoever is in charge here.
>>31006809>>Wait to see if she comes up. Might as well watch the fight.Take note on any "rules" that they have such as tricks, weapon selection, illegal blows, etc.
>>31006789Actually I want Rochelle to have awkward feeling at Producer, her superior and kind of father like figure turned around her age group, will be hilarious awkward

>>31006809>Try to infiltrate the pens to find her.I don't think there will be any one person in charge.
>>31007025I feel Cole will be the youngest (but the more sensitive of the group) A 17 year old Rin and Rochelle trying and failing to calm a 6-7 year old Cole from crying/discharging electricity
>>31006809>Try to infiltrate the pens to find her.Lets not waste time.
>>31007083But see, there's the rub. Do you want to see a younger vulnerable Cole who is frightened of her own powers or do you want to see a younger vulnerable Cole who is forced to take charge and protect her younger "sisters?"
>>31007025Oh I can just imagine the faces of open lust on all of them.
>>31007083Quickly becomes pic related.
>>31007025>Coming up with scenarios for waifus.I could write tragedy instead where they all die. Would you like that?

Rolled 2>>31006809Rolling for tiebreaker. Do not vote.1. Infiltrate pens.2. Find someone in charge.
>>31006809>>Try to find whoever is in charge here.We are here on business.
>>31007025Well, let it not be said that your image was unrelated.
>>31007162Jenner is who we've consistently been after. Lilith and Rochelle would lust after producer purely for rom-com purposes.We'll make out with Jenner in the closet.
>>310071771
>>310071772
>>31007223>>31007232D-did you read Merc's post?
>>31007223>>31007232Why, though?
>>31007201Or we all decide that this is a short time thing and we decide to make an online music video
>>31007116I feel Cole will have the Fuck this, I'm outta here approached but slowly come back out of guilt.>>31007201Agreed, Just rom-com purposes if only just Jenner and Lilith, Rochelle is just for theawkward factor.Here's a strange idea. gas effected lilith turning her back during Idol days, Producer helps her like how he does all his girls. gas wears off (after indefinite period of time) She remembers everything.
>>31007266I would support this. We'd have wacky hijinks and everything would return to normal by the end of the episode (and we'll never speak of it again).
>>31007292The idea I have is that the gas either wears off or we have to steal/buy an antidote. But before that, there is at least one concert where Lilith and Jenner sing. And maybe the loli squad sings for their age group as well.I wonder if the pre-teen idol scene is just as bloody as the teen idol scene.
Alright anons, how do you feel about recruiting a child (or at least a 13-15 year old) assassin as an idol, combat or otherwise? To be honest, I'd like to make her an undercover combat idol posing as a dedicated performance idol so that she'd be close to Rin when SHTF. The downside for this is the fact that we can't take her out for missions or else her cover is blown (though we could try to make her a sniper and keep her a safe distance from the public).
>>31007393The loli idol should be performance, not combat. A genuinely sweet and innocent girl who could sing for her age group as well as a crowd full of otaku.
>>31006809"All right, girls. Let's try to find out who's in charge here." You grunt. "Julie, Cole, do either of you know who it is?""Hmmmm, assuming he didn't get shanked, that would be Antonio, right?" Cole turns to Julie."Oh come on, I don't think that old pervert is going to die anytime soon." Julie rolls her eyes."How old is he?""Old." Cole says."Super old." Julie nods.Well, in your experience, if anybody managed to live to old age in a society where almost everybody died young, they were to be rightly feared, or at least approached with caution. "Okay, where can we find him?" You ask."He'll probably be in his office. It's one of the VIP boxes, so he can get a good view of the fights." Julie says. "I'll show you."You follow Julie as she leads you on. You feel it's kind of odd how she seems to know every nook and cranny of this place.>Ask Julie if she has a past with the Pit.>Stay quiet. It's probably too personal.>Other
>>31007486>>Ask Julie if she has a past with the Pit.
>>31007486>Ask Julie if she has a past with the Pit.>>31007393If she is an assassin, I guess we should take her out of that life and show her an alternative.
>>31007486>Ask Julie if she has a past with the Pit.
>>31007486>Ask Julie if she has a past with the Pit.>>31007529This. Little girls should not be assassins. At least, not without other girls watching her back.
>>31007567so what if we find a 34 year old geneomoded loli?
>>31007362So no awkward Rochelle.Or Teenage Jenner or Produce in the closet play 7 minutes in heaven?
>>31007683then we waifu
>>31007735I hope we don't get caught by cops or we'll have some explaining to do. Just imagine the conversation.
>>31007703We can have awkward Rochelle. We can have a whole boatload.Producer would just never reciprocate her feelings.
>>31007750just show them her ID then lol well till they try to murder us
>>31007683Or a 34 year old who uploaded themselves into a loli.
>>31007790Of course, that's the point. Then Rochelle will be back to normal as well once he's back to normal.
>>31007819that one seems like a nutter
>>31007829Right. It's the Jenner relationship that would move forward. I think becoming a kid again might put her out of her comfort zone to rely on Producer for support.And maybe Lilith, Cole, and Julie can all get some bad karma out of their system too. They had pretty bad childhoods.
>>31007486"Hey, Julie, if it's not too personal a question to ask, but have you been here before? You seem awfully familiar with the place.""Oh, well I guess, yeah." Julie says without even breaking stride. "A girl's gotta eat, you know. Down here, if you needed money, you either had to steal it, go up topside, or fight in the Pit. I turned out to have a pretty good pair of fists, so I chose the Pit.""Really..." You blink."It wasn't that bad, if that's what you're thinking." Julie continues. "Antonio's strict, but he's fair. He won't fix fights or favor one fighter over the other, and he always pays in full and on time. Pretty much a standup guy, in my opinion."Other than running and illegal fight run." Rochelle mutters."Hey, it's perfectly legal down here!" Julie responds. "Plus he lets me beat up the real scummy dirtbags he keeps in the pens, so everybody wins!"Wow, Julie seemed to have... very cheerful memories of this place. "Have you ever fought Melissa, then?" You ask."Oh, no, Antonio would never let the two of us fight." Julie shakes her head. "He's still a businessman, after all. Putting his two prize fighters against each other means he'll be guaranteed to lose one of them.""I see...""Anyways, we're here!" Julie stops at door, which was being guarded by a pair of very large thugs. One seemed to be literally built out of muscle, while the other had extensive augmetics."What do you want?" One of them grunts."We're here to see Antonio. Tell him Julie's here!" Julie says."No visitors when a fight is on." The muscle thug grunts again, as if he could only communicate that way. "Antonio does not like to be disturbed.">Just wait for the end of the fight.>Try to "convince" the thugs to let you pass.>They're testing you. Beat the shit outta them to assert your dominance.>Other
>>31007486>>Ask Julie if she has a past with the Pit.Also, that pic reminds me that we need to find a Blake to Julie's Yang.
>>31007903>>Just wait for the end of the fight.Might as well see the stages of a fight and make a strategy.

Wait a minute. I just realized. This is the perfect breeding ground to recruit our next combat idols from here out.
>>31008078>Handle them yourself.We don't get nearly enough action.
>>31008234True, but I don't think that assassin/spy types would be found here.
>>31008263Maybe we could look for a thief.
>>31008078>Split the difference.
>>31008078"Okay, me and Rochelle will take the meat." You nod at Muscles. "And Cole and Julie can take the potatoes.""Ooooh, this is gonna be good." Cole gives an evil grin and cracks her knuckles. "I was looking for some stress relief.""Same." Julie nods."How are we going to handle this, sir?" Rochelle says as she starts sizing up Muscles.>I'll go in first. You back me up.>You go first. I'll back you up.>Other
>>31008234If this is gonna be our thing, it might be a good idea to make some sort of Reform School for kids in the Tombs, call it the "Julie and Cole Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too."

>>31008339>I'll go in first. You back me up."Remember. Fear cuts deeper than blades."

>>31008418You're only looking at this from one side! It makes for a damn good story--one of those "from the bottom to the top" type stories. Think 8 Mile, but with little girls instead of a white underground rapper.
>>31008339>Other: Attack at the same time
>>31008508We have two Tombs idols already and are about to get a third.Maybe future combat idols should have more traditional backgrounds. And I'm almost certain that we'll eventually recruit an unemployed former enemy that we take a liking to.
>>31008508I'd say I'm looking at it from "I want to be successful," side.
>>31008418>I motion that one of Rochelle's image songs be Hit Me With Your Best Shot.That sounds more like a Julie song since she loves fighting more than ole.

Thigns are looking goodBest off, he's got Business Morals about paying on time - this sets an example for the people who work for him, and that we can use trying to convince him to let his best people go to our side.

>>31009091Prom is in Spring, usually in May.
>>31009124well that's a 20 alright. Best not to ignore it.
>>31009124>>31009088I took it as one single punch not doing much here. I don't know if Rochelle can handle it from here so I prefer if we do.
>>31009024>Follow up! Keep hitting him!Quick and easy.
>>31009202Uh. One punch made him punch drunk and dazed, anon.That guy has a glass jaw.
>>31009124Can't really argue with that logic and that roll.Go with:>>31009088>>31009074
>>31009124Change it to hit him a couple more times until we know for sure Rochelle can handle it and you have a deal.
>>31009226eh fair point, I suppose I'll switch to >>31009124Doubt it'll win though.
>>31009244No shit.All these bloodthirsty people with no restraint taking the easy way out.Backing Dat Twenty.>>31009292if you're switching votes, delete your old ones, yeah?
>>31009024You lunge forward and grab Muscles by the throat, incapacitating him for the moment. You take the chance to glance over to check on Julie and Cole. It looks like Cole shorted out the other thug's augmetics, and with him basically helpless, Julie had him in a chokehold.>Ask them again nicely if Antonio has time for you.>Just knock their asses out.>Other
>>31009312>Ask them again nicely if Antonio has time for you.
>>31009312>>Ask them again nicely if Antonio has time for you.
>>31009312>Ask them again nicely if Antonio has time for you.>Other"How dare you disrespect Julie? Do you know how much effort it took for her to return for a visit? Apologize to the nice lady!"
>>31009352ahahahah that has style.
You know, I just remembered that it's really easy to forget that there are some good people in hellholes.
>>31009551Don't worry anon they were assholes. ProbablyOr maybe they were just trying to get by and muscles took up this gig to help his adorable imouto after ma ran off with a guy. Now he's been summarily disgraced and will have to resort to other means to keep them from starving. Such tragedy ;_;
>>31009312"So, does Antonio have time for us NOW?" You ask Muscles as your grip on his neck ever so slightly begins to tighten."I-I'll to check on him." Muscles wheezes."Thank you very much, kind sir." You smile. "And why don't both apologize for being rude to Julie as well?""S-sorry Julie." Both thugs say."Good!" You finally let go of Muscles' throat. He moves to open the door when it suddenly swings open on its own. You the hear the sound of clapping."Aaaaahhhh, nothing like the sight of a good fight!" A weathered old man waltzes out of the door into the hall. "Quick, efficient, and to the point. You definitely have skill, boy. Good qualities in any fight, but very poor when it comes to entertainment. Nobody likes to see a fight that's over in three seconds!""I'm sorry, you are?" You blink."My apologies! I am Antonio, the owner of this fine entertainment establishment!" The old man chuckles. "Julie! It's been such a long time! I see you've been moving up in the world!""Yeah, I guess I have, Mr. Antonio." Julie chuckles. "It's good to see you, too.""Your bust size certainly has grown bigger as well." Antonio nods approvingly."H-Hey!" Julie blushes and instinctively turns away. "Pervert!""A man can't hide his desires any more than a woman can hide her assets!" Antonio laughs and turns to you. "From the looks of it, it appears you have a business proposition for me?""That's right." You nod. "I'm the Producer for Clover Entertainment, and I'm searching for girls with... certain skills. I think one of your fighters, Melissa, has those skills.""I see... I see..." Antonio frowns. "Well, that might be troublesome.""We'll be willing to compensate you-""That's not it." Antonio interrupts you. "Please, come into my office, and we'll discuss matters further. I would ask that you leave your girls outside, though.">Sure thing.>Nope, my girls go where I go.>Other
>>31009663>>Sure thing.
>>31009663>Nope, my girls go where I go."We're a team, a we stick together."
>>31009663>>Sure thing.Our girls have been trained to act alone.
>>31009663>>Nope, my girls go where I go.Gotta keep an eye on our bread and butter.
>>31009663>>Sure thing.our girls can handle themselves, so can we.Plus Julie seems to have a good impression of him. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
>>31009663>Sure thing.We're talking business then they can wait outside.
>>31009663>>Nope, my girls go where I go.
>>31009663>Sure thing.Girls will be fine, WE BUSINESS NOW
>>31009663>Sure thing.
>>31009663>Sure thing.trust the girls. and they have their com beads, right?
>>31009663>>Sure thing.3 combat idols that can whoop ass, plus they should be armed.
>>31009663>Sure thing.Girls must be on alert, though. I can imagine this guy using them as hostages.
>>31009811>Mwahahaha! And now, Producer-san, my ultimate trap! YOU will fight in the pits!villain_laugh_track.mp3
>>31009827Which will be fucking awesome.Seriously, we haven't had any action since we started.And I'm not talking about sex.
>>31009855P-San hasn't gotten either.
>>31009855yeah we have our augmented hands for the sex.
>>31009881that's the joke
>>31009885brings a whole new meaning to beating your hand like it owes you money.
>>31009885Just to check are you implying our augmented hand is auged specifically for that purpose and if so that it's a part of standard mil spec kit?(Since that's where we got 'em.)
>>31007393Had a weird ass dream last night pertaining to something similar to this. P-san had to use Direct Control for on a loli/young idol and of course, he got stuck for a day or two. During those days, he had to practice a routine, kick the crap out of a saboteur, learn his limitations, and ride a motorcycle in order to avoid being late for a performance.
>>31009885I'd like a day away from Rosy Palm thank you.
>>31009948You need to ease off the peyote bro.
>>31009948The idol also resembled Koume a bit...
>>31009988That or I ate some really bad day old curry.
>>31009943If it wasn't standard issue it would be far and away the most popular field modification.
>>31009948Upload... the Producer's... mind... into... an idol... body...Okay, good. Got that down for the next Tribunal meeting. Tell me if you have any more dreams, Anon. You do your country proud.
>>31010013If that were the case the crazy shit would be coming out the other end
>>31010014I wonder if the army would allow cyber hookers?Or if the admins would maintain a holo-simulator server?
>>31010033It did, only moments of waking up, I had just a few brief seconds before fire left me. It wasn't a nice feeling.
>>31010033Oh my god I fucking laughed.
>>31009663"Sure thing." You nod. "Girls, just wait out here for a moment. Keep our two friends here company.""Sure thing, sir." Rochelle nods.You follow Antonio into his office. It's not much really, just a desk with some tables, chairs, stacks of money and papers, and the best view in the house. Antonio sits down in one of the stadium seats and motions for you to sit down next to him. Down below, you can see the main arena, where men and women were beating the snot out of each other with various improvised weapons.""Ah yes, the good old fashioned free for all. Always a reliable pre-show event to get the crowd excited." Antonio says to himself. "Um about what were were discussing earlier...""I'm getting to it." Antonio sighs. "You seem Melissa is one of my top fighters. She's worth more than any price.""So you won't part with her?""I didn't say that." Antonio shakes his head. What makes Melissa special isn't her strength, or her augmetics, or her fighting skill. No... it is her power to win the crowd.""The crowd?" You raise an eyebrow."You of all people should know! If you win the crowd, you will win the battle!" Antonio nods. "That is why I simply can't give away Melissa. If she is to leave, she will leave after giving me he best performance of her life!""A match, you mean.""Precisely!" Antonio claps. "You and me think alike. Yes, a good match between Melissa and one of your girls. That should do the trick. Do this for me, and Melissa shall be yours.">That sounds like a deal.>Why can't I fight?>Other
>>31009943>>31010014Could be standard issue, the military buys a lot of sex toys/porn.but that shit is mostly for the people who can't or don't want to hook up with military sluts.
>>31010032I was the one with the deaging gas, the other anon had the mind transfer
>>31010090>>That sounds like a deal.Seems like something we can both benefit from. Also, ask if Julie can take part.
>>31010090>OtherLet me talk with her, does she even want to leave the arena?
>>31010090>>That sounds like a deal.
>>31010090>That sounds like a deal.You know Julie wants to
>>31010090>JULIE JULIE JULIE JULIE JULIE JULIEJULIE JULIE JULIE JULIE JULIEIT'S GOTTA BE JULIEJULIE JULIE JULIE
>>31010090>That sounds like a deal.>OtherGot to pass this through one of my girls.
>>31010090>how about I fight? You can milk it for all it's worth, Watch Melissa the crowd champion take on a military cyborg. Sell it right and you would make heaps
>>31010090>Why can't I fight?
>>31010032so what does the tribunal have in mind for the Idols? infiltration of the company? i have a idea that could well work, but we need to time it right.
>>31010090>>That sounds like a deal.But details.I hope you don't mean a fight to the death.
>>31010142It would look like a grown man beating a child.
>>31010090I'm assuming this means I can't fight?>That sounds like a deal.>OtherSo we don't have to win, just make it the best fight so far?What would make the best fight?
Hey guys if we agree to this see if we can get our doctor friend to come over here real quick.
>>31010146>>31010032Since we have Producer's mind in another body, can we have one of our combat idol's or agent's in his?
>>31010090>That sounds like a deal.but I pick which one of my girls fights her.
>>31010180>little girl in an old man's bodyHahahahaa.. HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>31010180Julie will go nuts in his bodyCole will feel out of placeRochelle will be disturbed/firghtened by the male anatomy
>>31010146Have an interesting dream and I'll be able to answer you.
>>31010207>>31010208I meant a Tribunal agent in his.
>>31010180This can't end well
>>31010180P-san switches with Cole.Now, P-san much act like a crazy electric tough girl to avoid suspicion, and shock enough people in one day to avoid suspension, and Cole has to pretend to be a responsible, mature adult, not smack the rival producers, handle Jenner's advances maturely, and not blow all the money on the Railgun.DIRECT CONTROL(Coming Summer 2014)
>>31010225You definitely deserve that name.>a female Tribunal girl scout agent in Producer's body>producer in a little girl's body
>>31010180the mind transfer would take some time to complete. we need them out for a time. best way to go about this is to drug them. we missed a window of opportunity when the idols had that sleep over party. the food they brought in we could have intercepted and spiked with enough to put them down for long enough for the agents to gain access to the building. their cyber agent is focused on the net aspect, not so much the physical element. we will have to wait for their next party. maybe sooner. a gas attack in the vents would be too obvious. the drug will have to slow to effect them, but stay in their system a long time too.
>>31010270And be able not to blow her load too early when she's with Jenner.
>>31010317>>31010270 oh you guys. i love how you think.
>>31010288Just imagine him trying to convince everyone that he's really the Producer.
>>31010208(switches with Rochelle)Wow Jenner, I didn't know you can hold your alcohol so well.Maybe you shouldn't drink so much.Wow, you are getting real close now.wow, didn't know these things get so hard. Are all guys like this?>>31010317Shit, didn't know guys were like that. Well, time to use my mou, I mean hands, I definitely mean hands. I used to be a girl, I know how to do this
>>31010390Especially since loli-Producer would be so moe that none of them would believe it.
>>31010090"That sounds like a deal." You nod. "But I get to choose the girl to fight.""Of course." Antonio nods. You pause to think on this. Julie obviously had experience at this, and probably would be more than willing to volunteer. Cole, however, had her electric powers, which could prove useful against Melissa's augmetics. Rochelle, meanwhile, was the most disciplined fighter of the three, and could be counted on to hold her own in a fight. She'd also been training rather hard, learning how fight enemies with augmetics, no doubt in an effort to try and beat you.>Julie>Cole>Rochelle>Other
>>31010436>>JulieShowmanship mainly, as it'd get Antonio the most bang for his buck.
>>31010436>OtherAsk themBut I'm definitely leaning Rochelle here.
>>31010436>JulieI think she's always wanted this
>>31010436>JulieWhen and how to inform Melissa of the deal, she'll accept it right? From Lord of the Arena to pop idol/bodyguard is a dream come true right?
>>31010436>>JulieThis is your show.
>>31010436JULIE JULIE JULIE
>>31010436>Julie or Rochelle.Cole had her moment.I want to see Rochelle who is learning how to beat us or Julie the close combat master
>>31010436>JulieBut have Rochelle coach her a bit before the fight. She clearly has been studying.
>>31010288What if the producer was instead hipnotyzed to just think he's in a little girl's body
>>31010486Damn, these dreams are creating all kinds of possibilities from D'AAWWWW, created by younger idols and staff; to LEWD, caused by this body swapping.
>>31010436>Otherthey are all good. so i say do a rock-paper-scissors to figure out who goes into the thunder dome.
>>31010553To be honest, it wouldn't have the same effect of having an agent pretend to be him while he tries to convince that it isn't him.
>>31010582It'd have the effect of him trying to convince everyone he's a little girl, and putting on super tight idol clothes while still being a hairy old guycue everyone's face of horror
>>31010582Agreed. I'd prefer an infiltrator to make things more tense.
>>31010436>>JulieOne final bout! A fight to end the grudge match forever!
>>31010605>>31010620Both are good propositions, but each are suited for different situations. One of them is comedic, the other is serious. It depends on what the general mood is.
>>31010582This plot get resolved when it's revealed that Jenner is Charles Foster Ofdensen level of badass and quietly switches the minds back without any hassle.
>>31010653I imagine that happening by her hitting precisely the part of the brain that has the chip, causing it to reset.
but we dont wont it to be a fight to the death. there was a reason he never pited the 2 against each other. we want both of them alive.
>>31010653>Jenner doesn't switch us back because we're too cute as a loli
>>31010707>still makes advances
>>31010684P-san: Huh, what happened.Jenner: Oh, it was nothing. You got blackout drunk and I took care of you last nightP-san: Oh, thanks. I just had the weirdest dream...
>>31010436>Tell girls the deal first>Julie
>>31010721>>31010707Why are you /ss/ing P-San
>>31010734>>Tell girls the deal firstmost superior suggestionGuys, this age-regression thing is creepy as fuck. knock it offmostly because any sort of age play is a creepy as fuck fetish to begin with.If you can't make the characters work as they are, don't force it.
>>31010721>>31010741bad touch
>>31010769Not everything is magical realm, I don't particularly like the idea but I get that some people find it cute
>>31010741because they can>>31010731....10/10. now i have that playing out in my head. and more.
>>31010769You act like people are writing sex scenes when really they're just imagining situations that would be humorously embarrassing.
>>31010436"I think Julie would be well suited for this." "Ah, excellent choice!" Antonio chuckles. "Many fans have wanted to see her and Melissa matched against each other! It will be a glorious battle!""And just to make it clear, we get Melissa if we we or lose, right?""As I have said, if you win the crowd, you win the battle!"Huh, either way, you probably didn't think Julie would take it well if she lost anyways. You and Antonio both return to the hall where the girls are waiting."Julie." You say. "You up to fighting Melissa one on one? Antonio here has agreed to releasing Melissa to us if we give him a good fight.""Aw yeah! I'm ready, Producer!" Julie beams. "What are the rules?""Simple. The combatant that cannot fight any longer is the loser." Antonio says. "Due to Melissa's... inherent advantages, I will allow you to use that shield of yours in the fight as well, but other than that, you can carry nothing else.""Got it." Julie nods."Julie, do you have any experience fighting opponents with augmetics?""Simple really. Don't get hit by them." Julie shrugs."Rochelle, I know you've been studying up on the issue. You got any pointers?""Well..." Rochelle pushes her glasses up. "Augmetics still need nerve connections to function, right? Well, I learned that there this 'augmetic blind spot' that some people take advantage of. If you hit the their nerve endings that connect to the augmetic hard enough, you can cause a temporary loss of control.""Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." Julie nods. "Then let us begin!" Antonio smiles.You and your girls are then guided to the depths of the stadium, where the fighters are prepped. You see Julie begin stripping off her carapace armor. Across the way, you can see Melissa warming up while Antonio coaches her about her next match.>Oversee Julie's preparations.>Try to talk to Melissa.>Other
>>31010884You say that, but I can't see their hands.Who knows what they're doing.
>>31010902>Try to talk to Melissa.Maybe we should make sure she actually wants to become an idol first?
>>31010769To be honest, the real source of the problem was some bad curry.>>31010902Oversee Julie's preparations.Time to give some John Madden Coach advice.
>>31010902>Prepare JulieIt's like we're training Mohammad Ali as he takes down Sonny Liston.GOAT! GOAT! GOAT! GOAT!
>>31010902>Try to talk to Melissa.>>31010884well to be fair, I was implying explicit sex scenes>>31010904Well, I'm typing
>>31010902>>Try to talk to Melissa.try to get a feel of how she will work with the other girls. and ask if she evan wants to be part of our idol company. if she simply says no then this will have been a waste of time.
>>31010902>Oversee Julie's preparationsWe can talk to Melissa after the fight and see what she thinks
>>31010902>Try to talk to Melissa.Have Rochelle coach Julie on anti-aug tactics. Producer and Cole will go chat up the competition.
>>31010980This is a good point. What if Melissa is happy? Hell, what if Julie is happy?
>>31010902>>Try to talk to Melissa.I feel like we should help Julie but we need to get into the mind of our new idol
>>31010902>>Try to talk to Melissa.>>otherAlso give a call to jenner. Let her know whats up.
>>31010902>Tell Julie this fight is about giving the fans a fight that they will never forget>We know she wants this fight>The crowd wants this fight>PUMP HER THE FUCK UP>Also talking to Melissa and giving Jenner a status update would be good
>>31011150The fight better get on Youtube. Guerilla advertising FTW.Also, we need to start selling cheap merchandise to the tombs. Julie and Melissa already have fan bases.
>>31010902>Othercall Jenner, record the fight with our cyber eyes. save footage and have it played back later for training purposes. or laughs.
>>31011198Or sadness, if it ends poorly.
>>31010902You decide to wander over to Melissa's side of the room. By the time you arrive, Antonio has left, no doubt to make preparations. This close, you get a better look at her appearance. She had shoulder length hair that looked to be a faded brown. Her right arm and leg were both augmetic, but barely so. They were absolutely ancient. So ancient that you couldn't even identify what model or manufacturer they were from. However, they seemed to work well enough, considering the beating she was giving the punching bag. "Hi there, Melissa, was it?""Hm? Oh, you're the Producer Antonio told me about, right?" She blink."Yes." You nod. "I just wanted to talk. Is that fine?""Sure, whatever." Melissa says, still wailing on the bag."I was just wondering. Would you like to come with us topside?""It's tempting..." Melissa says. >Ask her how she got her augmetics.>Ask her why she fights in the Pit.>Ask her what her fight experience is.>Other
>>31011206lets hope not.
>>31011241>>Ask her why she fights in the Pit.
>>31011150>>31011196>>31011198This.This is good.
>>31011241>Ask her what her fight experience is.
>>31011241>>Ask her what her fight experience is.>>Ask her why she fights in the Pit.The other one may be a bit sensitive.
>>31011241>OtherAsk her what's keeping her in the tombs? We can try to help as much as possible.
>>31011241>Ask her how she got her augments.why she fights and her experience is probably obvious.
>>31011241>Ask her why she fights in the Pitand >Ask her how she got her augmentsIf find out her motivation and why she fights, it could help us in getting to know her better.
>>31011241>>Ask her how she got her augmetics.>>Ask her why she fights in the Pit.>>Ask her what her fight experience is.
>>31011241i love how no one is even considering she might not want to be an idol. so i vote we ask if she evan has any intrest in joining our company.she said goin topside is tempting not joining us
I feel like most of these questions are best saved for later and the best use of our time right now is telling Julie to GET HYPE
>>31011241>>OtherGive spiel of life up top but say you understand if she rather stay in the Arena with Antonio.
>>31011329Probably because shes already a performer in the tombs and a fighter as well.Her job scope up on top will probably be not too different from her current lifestyle.
>>31011329True, we should ask her opinion about going topside.Change this>>31011308to this:>Other: "It's tempting...but.....?"
>>31011329>>31011378Yeah, I'm supporting these with my:>>31011276>>31011386It would be cool of she can maintain both jobs.
>>31011406Aren't there televised combative tournaments topside?
>>31011241>"But, what?">Ask her why she fights in the Pit.
>>31011406it would be but it would be to dangores to transit between the tombs and top side so much.>>31011386but its a totaly difrent kind of atention. in the pits she probably would be feared if she walked down the street. as an idol shed get swarmed by people wanting her autograph.(once she became populer at least)
>>31011422No to the same level of brutality of the tombs. Think Fight Clubs vs WWF. Also, she already built a fan base in the tombs.
>>31011457Pretty sure these is hardcore tournaments up top, the rich will pay for real entertainment one way or another.
>>31011457Too bad we can't make our own network that broadcasts on the internet.
>>31011456Normal people will do well to avoid her, but I wonder if combat idols can ambush people in the tombs? Unless they are good, they'll stick out like a sore thumb. But then I guess they'll hire proxies.
>>31011486you underestimate the stupidity of normal people. just becuse it would make them live longer dosent mean thell do it
>>31011483Which I sure we totally could. We should make a music video, which shows girls fighting each other in the tombs, to symbolize Rin and Niko singing off each other.Also show off theatrical fighting between our girls.
>>31011510I wonder if the stupidity of the fans will reach dealthklok levels, because that show was friggin hilarious.
>>31011547Well the girls, actually Cole, has the Tunnel Snakes. Though I'm not sure how competent they are in doing Klokateer tasks.
>>31011241"What's your fight experience, then?" You ask Melissa."Two hundred wins, twenty draws, zero losses." She says without even missing a beat.Well, that was pretty impressive, you think."So, why are you fighting in the Pit?" You ask. "Well, what else can I do? It's not like I have anywhere to go topside." Melissa shrugs. "Besides, it's the best pay you can get down here and I'm saving up.""For what?""My arm and my leg... they're useful, but they're not good enough." She says, tightening her augmetic hand into a fist. "I want to make them better. No, I NEED to make them better.">I sense a story here...>Well, don't worry. If you join up with us we'll cover the cost for replacement.>Other
>>31011641>I sense a story here...
>>31011641>>I sense a story here...>>31011522I'm just wondering whether or not our fans in the Tombs think we'll be selling out for "glamorizing" life there.
>>31011641>I sense a story here...>Well, don't worry. If you join up with us we'll cover the cost for replacement.
>>31011641>I sense a story here...Also, if that's the case, if she's going to be a security asset, it would be trivial to expense this as a company expense and claim tax credit.
>>31011641>>I sense a story here...
>>31011667Well:A. Happens all the fucking time in the entertainment industryB. We'll work with the tombs girls, to make it tasteful. Or something.
>>31011641>in before shes short and lost her little sister>I sense a story here...ill go with that because no one wants to ask if she has any interest in the life style of an idol>inB4 you ma.. YES I AM MAD. not much tho
>>31011641>STORY TIME!Gotta learn why first..
Our girls should find something they like or support so they can do endorsements like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEBDPAV3YssBut not European ad like stuff like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29_ny2U0vnw
>>31011641"I'm sensing a story here..." You frown."Yeah, well, you know why people fight?""Lots of reasons." You blink. "For their nation, for their ideology, for honor, for power for love... the list goes on.""Yeah, well, I'm not fighting for any of those." Melissa frowns. "Revenge. That's what I want.""Revenge?""The reason why I've got this arm and leg." She says. "If I want to reach my goal, I need get better.""How about you tell me more about this goal of yours?""How about this." Melissa stares at you. "If Julie can beat me in a fight, I'll tell you.""Deal." You nod."Melissa! Julie! It's time to go!" You hear Antonio's voice buzz over the intercom. "Report to your starting positions!"Crap, you don't have a lot of time left. "Well, it was good talking to you, Melissa." You say."Same." She nods. You make your way back to where your girls are. Julie looks like she's amped up and ready to go."Come on, Producer, I'm gonna win it for you!" She grins.>Any encouraging words to Julie before the fight starts?
>>31011945Fight smart, but remember that the winner is the one that wins the crowd.
>>31011945Kick her ass. I got nothing

"Okay, let's do this!"Julie steps into the lift that will take her to the central fighting ring, while the rest of you go up the stairs so you can get ringside seats."LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" Antonio's voice roars over the intercom. "Today is a special occasion! For one day and one day only, we will see the battle of the Titans! Melissa, the One Armed Wonder, fighting against Julie, the Warrior of Justice!"Suddenly the crowd ROARS loudly in response. Dear god this must have been a hotly anticipated match.

>>31012444Julie charges forward, shield raised. However, Melissa charges forward and meets the charge, countering with a punch with her augmetic arm. There's a loud CLANG as metal meets metal. While her fist didn't pierce the shield, it stopped Julie's charge dead in its tracks. You then see Melissa try to pull the shield out of Julie's grasp.>Fight to keep control of the shield.>Let her take the shield. That will leave an opening to attack.>Other

>>31012566Thinking fast, Julie quickly lets go of the shield, causing Melissa to stumble backwards. Taking advantage of the situation, Julie fires off a low punch directly into Melissa's gut, causing her to double over and drops the shield. Melissa quickly backsteps to gain some distance. Julie's eyes dart between Melissa and the dropped shield. She could risk trying to pick up the shield, but Melissa was close enough that she could swoop in to attack. >Recover the shield.>Leave the shield for now.>Other

The crowd finishes."And we have a winner!" Antonio bellows. "Julie wins the match!"Julie blinks, as if she didn't realize the fight was already over. Rochelle and Cole then rush into the ring, with Rochelle hugging Julie and Cole giving her a fistbump and a respectful grin.Julie then walks over to the downed Melissa and pulls her up to her feet."You okay, Mel?" Julie asks."I have to admit, you really know how to throw a punch." Melissa sighs, massaging her jaw. "I didn't think you'd be able to stand up my special punch.""Yeah, well, sometimes I surprise even myself!" Julie chuckles. "Though, just to let you know, I'm still seeing stars.""Yeah... you might want to have that checked out."The crowd starts cheering even more at Julie's show of sportsmanship, and both girls limp off the ring, with you, Rochelle, and Cole helping them off."An excellent fight!" Antonio says, clapping as you approach. "As I promised, Melissa is now in your care.""Thanks for everything, Antonio." Melissa says, holding her left arm out since her right one still wasn't working properly."The honor is mine." Antonio bows to Melissa. "My only hope is that you fight as hard for the Producer as you did for me.""I will. I promise." Melissa nods.With that, you all return to the SUV, with Melissa in two. Antonio is nice enough to send some of his men along with a vehicular escort to make sure you leave the Tombs unmolested. Very quickly, Cole, Rochelle, and Julie fall asleep, exhausted by the day's events, but Melissa is still up, looking out the window as she gets a view of Delta City.>Ask her about her story.>Just stay quiet for now.>Other

>>31013477Yeah, I was just joking. Still your right I hope she didn't get anything too fucked up during that fight.We were planning on maybe upgrading or fixings her augments. She wants "revenge" and all that.
>>31013510There may be a problem as the railgun's power is proportional to the length of it's rails.
Rolled 13>>31013515Mostly the upgrade angle.If we have falyn and a world-class doctor, we could probably bang out some impressive upgrades.We could also grab that Cybernetics Specialist for a one-time contract, if we didn't want him on staff fulltime.

Rolled 7>>31013550Railgun's a bad thing to throw on the cyborg though.We want her on our long-range sniper, or MAYBE on cole depending on how the Electro-powered Machinery Experiment/Research that people keep bringing up and forgetting to test goes.I'd be inclined to ask what upgrades SHE had in mind, and go from there.My guess is she wanted her other limbs removed, in order to become the Dentonator. THAT is certainly an expense.
>>31013553Multi tool seems the best one, everything else is too specialized.Also, shield. There was that shield thingy that we saw at the shop.>>31013564Hmm, explosives are always useful. Grenade launcher, mine launcher.

>>31013547>>31013532>>31013510>>31013506>>31013515Yeah, find out about her, and everything. Why she want's revenge. If it's reasonable (HAHAHA), we say as an idol we can train her (like we did with Cole and Julie), upgrade her augments, better access to information and resources. Hopefully she grows out of the whole "revenge" phase and enjoys the "pseudo-family" environment.

>>31013490"So Melissa, about that promise...""Yeah, I guess I did promise, right?" Melissa sighs. "If Cole and Julie are rolling with you, then you should know by now that being a kid in the Tombs isn't all sunshine and roses. In fact, the way things go, a lot of kids end up being orphans one way or another.""Yeah, Cole and Julie are no exception." You nod."Anyways, I was rolling with a group of orphans. We were just street urchins, scraping by day to day, but... we were happy with how things were. Sure, there were times we went hungry, or nearly got ourselves killed but... we were free. And we had each other."Uh oh, you had a feeling where this was going."And then, one day, a group of mercs shows up in the Tombs. Not totally unusual, since the corps like to send them down there from time to time to round up some cheap labor or test subjects. Well, our group got hit one day. I tried to fight back and-" Melissa glances at her augmetic arm. "That's how I ended up today.""So your 'revenge' is tracking down the mercs responsible?""Pretty much, yeah." Melissa nods. "Some nights.... on the really bad ones, I can still feel my leg and arm. Even my fingers. And it hurts... The body I lost, the friends I lost.... those bastards took everything from me.
