Event: Wheel of Misfortune

[avibusraris]

WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE


[ After the morning announcements, something exciting happens! Yes, yes, yes-- there's flashing lights, a live studio audience..! And a rather infamous wheel that made its name into gameshow history center stage next to a large holographic board with a green backs and white blanks on the board. As the first group of inmates are escorted to their positions behind their score podiums, the crowd simultaneously chants "WHEEL... OF... MISFORTUNE!" oh-so-cheerfully!

That's when the famous Deadman Wonderland announcer speaks up... ]

Ladies, gentlemen, and all those kind enough to join us tonight: The President aaaand The Director!

[ The twins walk out onto the stage together, the Director dressed in a crisp suit and the President in a nice dress, though her hair is down as always. They literally look like they could be hosting the Wheel of Fortune TV show-- except the Director heads over to the board while the President heads near the contestants. ]

Hi everyone, I'm the President. If you're unfamiliar with the game, each pair gets to guess one letter per spin. You can only guess consonants for free, vowels cost a price. You can solve the puzzle early if you know the answer to end the game, but you will cut off chances for more CP if you do that. If the letter you guess isn't in the puzzle, the next pair gets to play. Each pair can split the CP they earn here at the end of the game.

[ She yawns for a moment, glancing over at the Director. They have some kind of weird non-verbal communication, then she turns back. ]

Let's introduce our first players...

{{ OOC: There will be individual threads for each game! Each game will have one pair threading with the President at a time. When the pair changes, the President's subject line will change with the name of the next pair up! I will also try to remind the players in each pair when it changes. There will be individual threads for each game. Do decide which pair goes first, each pair needs to reply to the President's first comment with a number 1-10. Whoever gets the number or gets closest will be the first pair to go first. One number per pair, whichever character within the pair replies first represents the pair.

Please use this if you need reference for what your character can see on the wheel as they spin it, but all spins will be RNG'd by a mod for fairness! Any special cards will be explained ICly as they appear in-game.

Looks like there's only one L, but that's better than none. You two have 80,000CP. Do whatever next.

[shallnotharm]

Perhaps we should spin again?

[deeplove]

[ When they spin, it lands on something... special~ ]

Looks like you two got the vacations to the Desert Sands Oasis. Well, if you get a letter anyway. That sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

[shallnotharm]

I suppose it does. [Except that nothing ever comes free here.] I think...perhaps F.

[deeplove]

Congratulations, you just won the Desert Sands Oasis vacation package! We'll explain it after the show. No sense in making you try to go bankrupt instead.

[shallnotharm]

[Well. That wasn't ominous at all.]

By that statement, going bankrupt may be the more preferable option.

[deeplove]

It depends on the type of person you are. There's hope to get out of the vacation too.

[ She's sure some of the crazier prisoners would think it was brilliant. As for the hope, she's just supposed to say there is. Technically there is? But it's nearly impossible to achieve. ]

[nodice]

Bonus points for creativity, desert's hardly the most favoured holiday spot.

[ He grins, but he.... doesn't really want to find out what it actually means. ]

[shallnotharm]

Shall we spin again?

[deeplove]

[ It lands on 100,000! ]

Not bad if you can land a letter.

[shallnotharm]

[She glances at her partner, she'll let him choose this next one.]

[nodice]

[ Kaiba gives a shrug, careful to keep up the appearance of not taking this seriously. ]

T time!

[deeplove]

You guys are great at guessing the right one of 26 letters. Go again.

[shallnotharm]

Let's spin again.

[deeplove]

[ It lands on 35,000CP! ]

Well?
