PLAYER: Tetra
CHARACTER: Heiji (detectiveofthewest)
CONTACT: tetradecimal, AIM: Tetravolte

REACTION: FINALLY, HEIJI'S RIDICULOUS HOARDING BEHAVIOR IS ABOUT TO PAY DIVIDENDS

The first ten hours, Heiji will be spending testing out the robots, getting rotten meat/flares and such from the vending machines, and working out strategies. He will also be sneaking around and visiting various rooms to map out their layout because you gotta know the battlefield to do battle, right?

When the lights go out, Heiji will be pretty well-off when it comes to navigating the rooms and will be seeking out Snake, who... yeah, is probably pretty good at operating in the dark.

While what's happening is scary, lbr Heiji has pretty much been waiting his entire life for this.
PLANS: So basically, I have a bunch of crazy ideas for this event and I'll just list them out for interested parties:
Theater: I'd like to do something with the stage lights, hiding among the seats, and using the ropes to tangle a robot up, maybe lift one up in the air to disable it if we can make that work.
Cafeteria: Um, hiding in the cafeteria Jurassic Park style?
Gallery: USE THE ANGRY STATUE TO ATTACK A ROBOT. TRAPS, YAY.
Music Room: idk but there needs to be creepy accidental someone hitting the keys. Cheap scares!
Infirmary: There sure are a lot of knives in this room... Maybe something with the dolls, idk yet
Confinement Room: I totally want to lock one of the robots in a cell using scavenged rope.
Garden: Luring a robot close enough to the water so that it can be submerged and shorted out.
Incinerator: IT'S THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO INCINERATE A ROBOT

Things Heiji has, things I'm explicitly planning to have him use in this event:

• Thermal gloves
• Shovel with wooden handle (good for electrical insulation!)
• Knives
• Shinai
• Souvenir leaves from Charley the potted plant
• Sewing kit
• Trombone/trombone case
• Octopus???

ANYTHING ELSE:
Look I have a gif this time

I want in on theatre stuff. I just really want them to do ridiculous shinai fights and detective traps then highfive before a robot falls from the ceiling and they have to benny hill away.

[detectiveofthewest]

Yes yes should we do this while the power's still on?

Gosh Hershel this is so exciting, just like that time you had to jump in a spider pit

[puzzlinglad]

yeah let's that way full spotlight on their stupid show. i can see something where they take turns keeping the robot back as much as they can with shinai while the other works on setting the ropes up as a trap or maybe the curtain as a trap. if they get a curtain around one of the robots and just tie it up with ropes they can probably drag it to the incinerator or the garden to finish it off, maybe stuff like that???

also wow you jump into one spider pit and suddenly you're the spider pit guy.

[detectiveofthewest]

Yes good excellent plan. They can maybe take turns hacking at the rope/gathering up the curtain and such! Maybe they can run off in different directions and return to haul off the tied-up robot once the coast is clear?

[puzzlinglad]

yeah!! i'm so excited, they can be like team detective setting up puzzle traps and throwing each other stuff they need. honestly if it's just one they could probably take turns getting a long length of rope while the other distracts the robot then just grab either end and snare the thing up. if it's more than one robot i think the best bet would be positioning the robots under the curtain, dropping it then going to town with a rope, tying them up in it

[fairsfair]

Heiji and Jake should totally incinerate a robot. That sounds like something they can do/are strong enough to pull it off.

Let's do it, let's burn robots.

[detectiveofthewest]

Fuck yeah o9. I'm working on my posts now, let's do this during lights on!

[fairsfair]

Sounds good!

Get out the marshmallow, kids B)

[detectiveofthewest]

Why do these marshmallows taste like motor oil and robot murder...
