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.

[ It lands on 70,000. ]

One C.

[gloomydoomy]

[ Hmm. She might have an idea what one of those words is... ]

Spin again. B? Uh, if you don't have any other ideas, Rei.

[deeplove]

[ And it lands on 90,000CP! ]

Wow, one B, shocking. You're at 282,000CP. What next?

[gloomydoomy]

[ Robyn frowns. She looks over at Rei. ]

We... might need another vowel. What do you think?

[dolosa]

I think... it might be a good idea. We can buy an 'A', I think... I hope the cost isn't too bad.

[deeplove]

It isn't like the price changes. Another half-pint. You two want the A?

[gloomydoomy]

Sure. We can survive that.

[dolosa]

If it's fine with her-- I'm okay with it. I'm glad the price doesn't change.

[deeplove]

Three A's.

[ And they're taking some blood again! ]

I hope you two don't start feeling woozy.

[dolosa]

We'll-- [ Deep breath. ] I'll be fine. L-- let's spin again?

[gloomydoomy]

[ That was less helpful than she'd been hoping. ]

Yeah. Maybe... F?

RYU + ROMAN

[deeplove]

[ The wheel lands on 90,000... BUT! The buzzer goes off as soon as Robyn says the letter. ]

Sorry, boys again.

[unquestionable]

[ Terui's jaw was set in visible irritation, but he wouldn't stoop as low as stepping on Roman's foot in return.

Yet, anyway. ]

We'll be spinning.

[deeplove]

[ It lands on 45,000+4xCandy! ]

That's a really good one if you two can manage the right letter.

[unquestionable]

[ He glanced at Roman. As much as the loathed to admit it, for something this big they would do well to cooperate. ]

What are you thinking, Torchwick?

[maybeitsmaybelline]

[The mature thing would be to reward cooperation, but no one's ever accused Roman of maturity.]

What's the matter? Too much pressure for you to handle on your own?

[He turns his smirk on the President.]

I think-- [The smile freezes. He was so caught up in his gloating that he forgot he has no idea what's next, and they've already gone through the really common consonants. Crap. CAN'T LOSE FACE NOW, BETTER SAY SOMETHING.] ...G?
