PLAYER: Ichi
CHARACTER: Jake (fairsfair)
CONTACT: lastsummon is the best way to get a hold of me by sending me a private plurk! Since my timezone is KST so I probably won't be around during the same time as everyone else, but just in case, you can also get me on aim at sociallinking!

REACTION:

Jake is... well, Jake. I'm guaranteeing you that he's going to fight a robot before he knows it's a Bad Idea. He's a real showoff when pulling melee moves too, so he'll be doing any one of those with robots. But after getting shocked from one and having a new burn, heee probably will go for the less direct approach of throwing it and probably play it smart, and when I mean smart, I mean find a weapon he can use to beat the shit out of one instead.

But no seriously he might also camp it out once there's more than one and nothing really works. Especially when it's dark, just going to play it smart and try to get through it with as little trouble. He just doesn't really like waiting and doing nothing...

PLANS:

Besides punching robots... I'd really like him to pair up with someone who can plan things out and Jake just carries them out, use his dumb muscles for something. Just some kind of teamwork will be really nice, where he actually listens for once. If anyone is having their character tossed in an elevator, Jake can certainly get on board to breaking them out as well.

Also, it's probably not the best time for this, but tons of looting. Looting things that might come in handy, looting things that might come in handy later, looting things to just piss Calhoun off, you know, that kind of stuff... It's cool if he steals yet another couch, right? It's good to barricade doors (and keep them for the future).

Other than that, I don't have any set plans!

ANYTHING ELSE:

I am currently in Korea on vacation! So my tagging is going to be sporadic so I'm really sorry ahead of time. I am totally game for backtagging, though!

Oh, I also forgot but Jake's condition is... well, not the best. It's been a few days, but his right hand is still pretty fucked up, so he won't be using it very much. The same goes for his arm and right side of his torso, so he'll using his non-dominant side, his left. Yeah, he'll still get into fights, but this is certainly a thing.

haha yes okay so my idea because apparently i'm too good for aim or something, i want them to use the gallery to beat one of the robots, i was thinking at one point if they could trigger one of the statue traps properly it would end up grabbing one of the robots and basically holding it in place, which would give them a chance to make like tie it up more somehow or just give jake a chance to grab it in a way where it can't grab them or fight back.

I'm not sure what they'd do from there, maybe throw it into a painting and hope the trap there finishes it off but i want that, let's do that.

[fairsfair]

i am so down for that. i really like the idea of hershel learning from that statue and using it now to his advantage. i think after tying it up... jake will just want to idek break off its head so it can't function anymore, I'M GOING TO DECAPITATE THIS THING

throw it in a painting, accidentally get hit with pepper spray, gj gj

[puzzlinglad]

jake just RIPS IT'S HEAD OFF actually they might be able to use the stuff in the glass case to do that, jake has enough strength to probably use the iron spike though you gonna get shocked boy

hey it's your best friend pepper spray. even better they get knocked out and wake up in elevators like well fuck.

[fairsfair]

he'll get shocked for the GREATER GOOD i hope you're remembering all the shit that he's doing for you, hershel. sigh, friendship... breaking the stuff in the glass case will cause so much noise, so hope hershel remembers how to solve the puzzle quickly enough to grab the items inside

LMFAO hershel and jake locked up in an elevator, jake does not stop until he breaks a foot trying to kick down the door

[puzzlinglad]

look are you asking if hershel fucking layton can do a puzzle on the fly to not get murdered. who do you think he is an amateur

finally everything comes full circle.... but yeah when we get to the gallery part we can figure out what to do from there with possible shocks and punching and such

[fairsfair]

okay yeah that was a dumb question. he can do puzzles on the fly to not get murdered but he can't pull up pals from ravines sure got it

sounds good, let's have dumb tag team things B)

[puzzlinglad]

you let ONE FRIEND die in a ravine and suddenly you're marked for life

I need a highfive icon damnit. team idiots is go

[detectiveofthewest]

Jake, do you want to steal another couch

let's use the couch and hurl it somehow at a robot

[fairsfair]

I was just joking about this but let's make it reality

Let's have them steal another couch and hurl it at a robot, then sit on it, squash it

[detectiveofthewest]

yes good

maybe after they incinerate the first robot, it'll get the attention of more and they can Benny Hill over to the Music Room, give Jake an excuse to suplex a robot on the way
