Alright, this will be the official Key for posts, ie. what fonts and such mean what.
This indicates a text message or e-mail. If you don't have a DNI of some kind, this will require actually typing on your commlink, which will be easy to notice and take time. Reading such a thing requires something with an image link, or squinting at your commlink's screen This indicates electronic sound transmissions. It could be from a subvocal mic, a regular mic, a recording, a node, or whatever else. All commlinks come equipped with both mics and speakers, but not announcing things to the world requires subvocal mics and/or earpieces (or similar 'ware) This indicates HUD info. It could be anything from a spam popup to a notice that your favourite drone has been destroyed. As text message requires an image link or screen squinting "This indicates speech, go figure." This indicates a physical action of some kind. (This indicates OOC. Should be used sparingly. The main function is to perform die rolls inside your posts. Speaking of which, please use invisiblecastle.com for rolls.) This indicates narrative devices. This should generally only be used by me, but may occasionally be used by players when describing their home, equipment, or something similar (Though this can usually be done as part of a physical action, example: Bob leads his friends to his home, a mobile home that has become less mobile with the flattening of several of its tires. This indicates actions by your minion, and should be combined with the above options. I give you full control of your individual minion so long as they act reasonably. If there is something you don't know about your minion (Like where exactly they live) that you think it pertinent, please ask on the OOC board. This indicates pain. |

Yet another day at Fredrickson High. A Monday in fact.. a rather hot Monday, just the sort of day that really gets tempers high for no reason. It also happens to mark two months till the end of term, but most people don't let that spoil their bad mood. Lunch hour sees another steaming plate of tasteless soy and water that you can almost see through.
Most students eat their food outside, on the mass of asphalt that might have once been used for sports. Food however isn't the main attraction of lunch though, at least not today. Today's main attraction is Carson, the school's only troll student. Monday has never agreed with him much, nor has Alexie... Carson walks casually up behind Alexie, and a moment later Alexie finds himself holding an empty tray, Carson towering over him pouring the soy from the plate directly into his mouth. The Troll glares down at Alexie "What ya gonna do 'bout it runt?" Theft of food and a public insult, the reaction to this is the sort of thing that makes or breaks a small time gang. Go! |

Dryden leans against a nearby wall, idly shuffling a deck of cards. He carefully brings up his nasty vibe and glares at Carson. "You really don't learn, do you Carson? Walk away. Walk away before I decide that I'm tired of you wasting my time. Or, if you really want to be destroyed, stick around. Make your choice, Omae."
( Intimidation roll: [2,4,4,1,3,4,5,1,5,3,2,1,1,6,2,6] = (4)) While he says this, Dryden casually begins preparing the cards for throwing. |

Alexei glances down at the empty tray, then casually turns to face Carson turning his Wired Reflexes on with a DNI command.
"Runt is the best you can come up?" he wonders, glancing around to see who might be watching. "It is simple, I give you one chance now to apologize and save face." Turning his head a fraction towards Tink he switches to Russian and adds "We would need everyone to fight him unarmed. Words for now, but revenge for later." |

Carson seems somewhat confused, a natural state of being for him, both by the Russian and by suddenly facing three people, all of whom seem to be trying to threaten him, which only makes him angrier. He decides to continue to single out Alexie. "Apolgize?" he says in a loud voice, shortly followed by deep laughter "Maybe I show everyone how runt you are."
Carson slowly draws back one of his massive fists, a purposeful slowness. It is at this point most people he has come across cry, beg, and give him stuff, and he wants to ensure you have a chance to do that before delivering the blow. Regardless of everything else, the thought of what will likely happen if that meaty fist connects is sobering. Several students that had been hit by Carson didn't come around till after they where dragged home by their parents, and didn't show up again for several days. |

Milafin rolls her eyes as she attempts to hack into Carson's commlink and plant a message ordering him to go to the local Lone Star station.

Dryden sighs and calls out to Tristen in Russian. "Any ideas, comrade? If not, get clear... And begin planning a surprise for this fool. Perhaps something involving molotovs?"

From his place near the back of the line Gres is unaware of what is going on until...
<Text alert marked urgent to any member not present> Carson is causeing trouble might want to be here The text message pops up in his contact lens distracting him and causing him to look up. Seeing Carson's big meaty fist in the air Gres sees that there are to many people nearby for a stunball. So he ops for a distraction (Casting Mind Probe Force 2 as a distraction 9d6.hits(5)=2 [4,1,3,5,6,4,4,2,1] ) (Drain Resistance (3) 8d6.hits(5)=5[6,6,3,2,1,6,5,6] No drain) |

Milafin manages to break through Carson's firewall like Carson would break through a picket fence, before she can do much more then glance around his virtually empty commlink, things come to a head.
Tristen calls back in almost flawless Russian "Maybe threatening him wasn't the greatest idea. I suggest a retreat till we.." Gres manages to penitrate into Carson's mind, and instantly begins reciving thoughts along the lines of 'Gonna crush this runt' 'Heh, little weird guy trying to threaten me, gonna crush him next' and after a moment 'Why's my brain feel weird? He's doing something! Crush time!!' With this final though, Carson's fist jabs forward with tremendous speed, attempting to land a solid blow on Alexie's stomach. (3 hits on attack roll) |

As Carson raises his fist and begins to make his swing Alexei drops his empty tray and pulls his fists up, ready to defend himself.
(13d6.hits(5) → [5,1,6,5,4,1,3,6,5,3,5,4,3] = 6 Hits total - Link to roll under spoiler. ) [ Spoiler ] As the fist jabs forward Alexei twists to one side and using both his arms knocks Carons blow to one side. He can't help but smile, few can stand up to Carson for even a single blow. |

Dryden curses in Italian as Carson's fist starts towards Alexei and, as soon as he can react, slings the cards he prepared. He throws the first just hoping to distract Carson enough to keep him from killing Alexei, and aims the second to cut the hand Carson is using to hold the plate, praying that the pain is enough to make him drop the plate and the fight.
(Throw one: [6,1,2,5,1,3,5,2] = (3); 5P damage + net hits) (Throw two: [2,2,[6, 3],[6, 6, 3],3,5,5,1] = (5); 5P + net hits (Arnis allows damage to disarm attempt)) |

Carson pays the cards little heed, they're only cards after all. He seems quite unaware of their excessive speed and the magic they carry. As it turns out, he doesn't seem to have much more to fear from them then normal cards. The first one simply bounces off his jacket as any other card would, though the large troll does seem to notice something odd about them at that point. With only a moment to react he twitches his hand just enough that the card bounces off the cuff of his armored jacket, once again seeming to have no real affect on the large troll, except to cause him to glare at the one who threw them.
Gres receives thoughts of 'Which one should I crush first?' |

Dryden curses again in Italian as he watches his cards prove to be completely useless. He was so sure that second shot was going to go through, too! A thought suddenly comes to mind, and he instantly bellows out in Russian, "LOU! CONTROL ACTIONS!" and prays that his comrade gets the hint.

Most unfortently for Tink, he isn't quite tall enough to reach Carson's nose as intended. Carson once again doesn't bother doing much in the way of attempting to dodge the blow. The century old tray smashes against Carson's chest, shattering into several pieces, but seeming to have no actual affect on the large troll. Memories of younger days when everyone was downright terrified of him are recalled, it seems the old fears where well founded.

Having realized how pointless bothering with Carson's commlink is, Milafin exits it and scans the area, attempting to detect any cyberlimbs he may possess.
Spotting the fight breaking out between Carson and her superiors in the gang, Mya charges at him, launching a flying kick at his back. (12d6 Scan, 7d6 Fading Resistance (12d6.hits(5)=8, 7d6.hits(5)=4) 9d6 to hit, DV2S (9d6.hits(5)=4)) |

Carson doesn't notice Mya until it is too late for him to react, though it doesn't seem that he needs to. Other then making him take a small step forward, the kick has no apparent affect on Carson.
Milafin's natural perception of the wireless world serves her well, as she quickly spots a hidden node emminating from Carson. The signal is weak however, barely leaving his body, and not even reaching to his own commlink. It is at least proof that Carson has some kind of cyberware installed. |

Seeing the various attacks bounce off Carson, Gres steps up his actions

Carson definitely notices the powerbolt. It strikes him hard, causing his body to spasm slightly, a slight singed smell quickly beginning to emanate from him. On the bright side, Gres' spell got Carson's full attention. On the not so bright side, Gres himself now has Carson's full attention. While some might be inclined to back down after such a strike, it seems to have only gotten Carson angrier.

Carson charges at Gres, furry in his eyes. He coveres the 7 or so meters between himself and the shaman in a flash, his first thrusting forward with impressive speed. One thing is for sure, either Gres is about to be in alot of pain, or there is going to be a chunk missing from the wall behind him in a moment. Perhaps both if the young shaman is particularly unlucky.
4 hits on the attack. Resist for 9S + net hits The blow is far too fast for Gres to dodge, having time to do little besides widen his eyes as the fist came at his stomach, and connects solidly. His body is pushed back a few inches into the brick wall behind him, which quickly forms a spider's web of cracks, the air escaping quickly from his lungs. The blow is far too much for Gres, and he immediately falls unconscious. |

With an almightly roar Alexie charges after Carson, augmented muscles powering him forward and plastic laced fists raised to hammer down on the trolls back.

(FYI you can use .hitsopen(5,6) to automatically reroll the sixes)
Carson notices Alexie at the last moment, managing to turn around and almost get his fists up to block the attack, but not quite. Gres' limp body falls to the ground as Carson stops pinning it to the wall with his fist. A swift punch to the kidney forces Carson to suck air for a moment, but definitely doesn't put him out of the fight. "Runt!" he roars as he quickly gets his breath back. |
