> SPURB: The Tale of 8 Youths

BGM: Terraform.

You quickly retrieve your water gun from your chest, it's the only thing capable of "harming" Nazrin.

Strife!

>Nazrin: Agress- Attempt to scratch the doll.

>Luisa: Counter with water gun!

It's super effective!

>Nazrin: Agrieve- Hiss and scratch!
Nazrin deals 1 damage to Luisa's arm, a small sacrifice to pay for Tail's safety.

>Luisa: Aggrieve- Obvious opperandi: Water rain!
Nazrin has absconded from the battle.
Nazrin dropped 1 Tails Plush.

Luisa gained 1 guilt point. How silly.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing must ever harm this plushie, NOTHING!

Hey look, someone is pestering you.

You retrieve your trusty handguns from your chest-o'-stuff, you also get your staff just in case. You never know when you may get magical powers!

You store each weapon in their respective strife!specibus.

You interrupt this young lady's shenanigans to discover yet another dumb broad.

Who's this douchebag?

Fatass Walrus

Wow, way to be insulting. Ass. Be nice for once!

Marietta Colette

Much better!

Your name is MARIETTA COLETTE, but your buddies call you MARIA for short. You are 19 years old, turning a nice, round 20 in the next year. You have a variety of INTERESTS AND ADDICTIONS that include staring at COLORFUL ART, playing OLD-SCHOOL VIDEO GAMES and EATING PASTA. You also enjoy drawing and you are NOT TOO BAD AT IT. But you practice as much as you can because you clearly feel otherwise. You enjoy watching BRITISH SCI-FI AND MYSTERY SERIES and have a STRONG ATTRACTION to FELINES. You also enjoy watching various CARTOONS. You are currently in your OWN APARTMENT and you enjoy BEING ALONE. You also have ROOMMATES but you couldn't care less about their presence, as their interests, you believe, are BORING AND IRRITATING. But while you may sound like a loner, you have quite a few FRIENDS, but most of them are very far away and your only method of communication is through your laptop.

Your walls are covered mostly in NINTENDO posters, specifically from the MARIO SERIES. All but one, anyway. You have idolized the red, portly plumber ever since you were 4 years old. Your room is also littered with various MARIO merchandise, some of them gifts from your friends, and you even proudly wear a 1-UP SHIRT as proof of your idolization.

Man, you love this stuff.

You also have a few drawings strewn about from back when you did your art on paper. You don't do this much anymore; why waste paper when you have your drawing tablet right next to your laptop?

You just got off the computer after talking to a buddy. What will you do now?

You look up at the wall where you usually sit in front of and do your usual internety things. You've got yet another Mario poster up there, as well as a target board directly above it. You are quite an avid archery fanatic and are somewhat decent at handling a bow. You have quite a few target boards like the one up there scattered on the walls of your room, all penetrated with darts. You've made a few bulls-eyes but most of them are misses. Sorry, Mario, didn't mean to throw those so close to you!

Oh right! You totally spaced out for a moment there. You did tell your friend you were going to walk around while you waited for your package to arrive. You have been waiting for this thing to arrive for days but the Caribbean islands are one of those unlucky places that usually gets things last. So you get the misfortune of having to wait a bit longer for things to come here. Luckily for you, you don't have to wait long, because you're certain that it should arrive today! But while you wait, you suppose you'll walk around the house for a bit. But before you do that...

What the hell are you talking about? Your arms are right here, dumbass!

...

Oh, those arms! Well why didn't you say so? Better yet, why didn't you use better words, whoever you are?

You go into your closet and grab your bow and arrows. You figure that since you'll be leaving your room, you might as well bring your weapon with you. You stick those in your Bowkind specibus, where you can easily take them back out when you need them. Not that you've ever needed them before. You don't get many chances to use them, except for practice. And even then, you don't get to practice with them much. Especially since this tiny town isn't an ideal archery range. You would go out to your college's track and field and practice like you usually do but you don't want to miss your package. Your roommates might get to it before you do, so you have to stay right here at home and pay close attention in case the mailman arrives any time sooh goddamnit who's pestering you can't they see that you're busy

You rush out of that bedroom, posthaste! But not before leaving a message to another one of your chums real quick.

Oh crap, your roommate's in the livingroom. She doesn't seem to be aware of the mail arriving... that's good, though. Maybe you can sneak past her while she's watching TV--

You are now in your front yard. You seem to be waiting on the mail that is destined to be here in a few hours.

You decide to go back and bug your Mom-dog-guardian-thing.

Forget it, Benard usually gets the mail anyway; And she's pretty timely with it as well. Guess you'll go pester one of your goofy chums.

You decide to go pester one of your best friends AA. You both used to play mmos together as a team so it's obvious he should be your partner in crime.
