The Way Forward; A GATE RP [OOC] [OPEN]

[Zjaum]

Or, if you want, I can cut out the Haapsalu part and just save it for later? It's your decision; I have no preference.

I'm sure, whatever the decision, you guys can retroactively improvise.

[Vahltunskhja]

The next time somebody fires on a non-combatant except in self-defence Arsenault will personally bareknuckle beat the shit out of you until you're unconscious or a superior officer drags him off your sorry ass I swear to god.

So please don't throw a grenade at the nice giant lady.

P.S. - don't think I missed that Lord of the Rings references. Just can't help yourself can you, you bloody Peter Jackson worshipping Kiwis

[Zjaum]

The very real possibility of being smashed into poutine by a sixteen foot tall woman tends to become the priority objective.

I don't know if you are either suicidal or have issues, but I don't think getting smashed is an objective for most people...

...I worded that very wrong

@Blake: What is an LMT? I looked it up, but the most appropriate thing I could find was a military company: Lewis Machine and Tool.

Yep, LMT CQB PS 16, Blake's primary weapon. NZ Army's new standard issue. Blake's variant is different, it's the Piston model, plus unique attachments.

I need sherianna to cast a spell on someone.

I mean, you could totally incorporate that into your character: https://youtu.be/mNhHA-fkM-s?t=1014

In other news, should I still be carrying the plant at this time? I never mentioned it, and I'm between burying it in the ground for safekeeping and bringing it with me into the UN world.

We really got this IC back and kicking. Good job and surprisingly good content, guys.

[Zjaum]

I really want Okoya to get flashbanged just for the hell of it, but it's ultimately your choice.

Up to you at the end of the day. My original thought was to have Osira eventually figure our its location and try to surreptitiously get her hands on it - essentially broadcasting everything she knows about the UN forces. If this happens after she'd been among them for a while, it would essentially have her try to 'spy' on the invaders :3 Although that's just an idea so I'll react to whatever.

Edit: Also, great to see you Parcia! Really glad to see you still involved really enjoyed the brief interaction between Eddy and Osira so far.

All right. I'll leave it in the forest then, considering that ours paths are bound to cross. You might stab me just to get the Taldani, y'know.

[Bentus]

Hate to spam the OOC, but I love that the first and only casualty so far sustained by the UN forces is from a girl with a kitchen knife :3

[The Tophat Empire]

Why does French have to translate into insults in their languages god damn ;_;

Also for British Prussia and Polis, just tell me if you don't want me hurrying you two after the Dwarf. I can edit my post and have Arsenault be torn between following his objective to keep him out of trouble and making sure the giant doesn't start juggling corporals.

[Monfrox]

Where's the bard, tho

[Vahltunskhja]

Where's the bard, tho

...Oh piss you noticed.

To be honest I'm waiting until I have more time on my hands, the semester's almost over and projects are piling up. Plus I figure running into her either on the road or in a town would be a better way to introduce her.

Zjaum wanted to be flashbanged, so I'll have to grant his wish.

[Vahltunskhja]

British Prussia, Blake is about to cause serious physical injury to a non-combatant and endanger himself and his fellow soldiers. Unless that sounds like something your character would do, I feel like he might want to reconsider his actions.

Stun grenades don't cause permanent injury. Besides, he can definitely call it self-defense, considering how close in proximity Okoya is. In terms of retaliation, Okoya would more likely go into recoil than retaliation.

But yes, I do agree with your concerns. Were this not a playful RP, Okoya would be more aggressive.

In the instance that British Prussia changes his mind, though (I don't care either way), I'll give him a full day before I make the reaction post. OOC, I really wanted to write a post about Okoya's reaction to getting flash-banged. If nothing happens, Okoya won't hurt anyone, and Haapsalu will do his best to ensure that Corporal Blake doesn't suffer any consequences. They'll probably think it was a toy, like fireworks.

At close range on a target that clearly does not know nor is protected even remotely from it, it can cause extensive ocular and auditory damage possibly causing partial or complete deafness and blindness. That's also completely ignoring the fact that there is still the very strong possibility that Okoya is still holding it which could result in quite severe burns.

Also you are aware that fireworks can and have killed people before right?

[Zjaum]

Flash-bangs are designed for humans. While it may produce a burn, the giant's skin is three times thicker that that of a human's, so blistering may ensue.

https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/4fkj4p/eli5_how_does_a_flash_bang_work_does_it_actually/

According to this first-hand experience, there are no long term effects. There is an hour (for any race, at the absolute maximum) of complete lack of control. (OOC: I was planning on having her fall back over the ditch.) I'm going to assume, just from scaling, that a giant's eyes and ears are more durable, especially considering that she'll be much farther away (by a few feet, perhaps a few meters) than the intended range, just from wingspan.

Ears, maybe since the hairs that make up the working parts would be larger and sturdier but eyes no. Eyes are unbelievably sensitive man. Bigger eyes just means more sensitive eyes. And as mentioned Prussia is still handing a large woman a live grenade. For absolutely no reason should someone be subjected to grenades when they are merely a possible threat.

That's why I wrote it, because you wanted it right? I am aware that you can geat injured by a flashbang but the chances of that happening are quite rare. Besides, the giants a big girl who can take it right?

It'll be like looking at the sun for a millisecond. Humans can get burned by a flashbang, but I doubt it'll do drastic damage to a giant... Besides Zjaum did say he wanted to be flashbanged.

Well if you're going to flashbang someone who hasn't done anything I won't stop you, just prepare for your consequences for setting off a grenade with intent to harm a noncombatant.
