Ash blinks a couple times, attempting to fully take in the scene in front of her. Is this guy fuckin' serious? What the hell ever. "I'll kick you and your poo poo taste in music's rear end!"

FP 5/5 "Y'know, I think they played that song at the airbase when a bunch of Lancers flew in on an exercise," Chuck reminisces. "Isn't that song, like, thirty years--ooh, hot dogs!" Did he have lunch? He can't remember, but they do look nice. "Wait, are we having a hot-dog eating contest before we whale on you?"

[quote="Comrade Gorbash" post="434411122"] Alita reaches over an picks up a hotdog. She holds it up, looking at it from a few different angles, sniffs it, then finally takes a bite. "... These are good."

Porkin' Out in the Park Masterson hops down off the table, and gives a curt nod to the Music Goon. The speaker is silenced. The large boy clears his throat, and begins to speak "Thank you all for coming out today for yet another Masterson Mauling! Star on the field, king of cool, and subject of many a girl's daydream" He pauses to wink at a gaggle of girls with hiked up skirts. They coo and melt. "Since I've got practice later today, today's humiliation will be in the form of a hotdog eating contest! I need somme ammo for these guns!"He flexes his arms as he says this. "The skinny chick with the anger issues needs to do this, but any of her loser friends are just as welcome to join her, or cheer along for 'support'! Get in place everyone, I got poo poo to do." With that, he sits down at one of the plates laden with weiners. Around you, a vast array of camera lenses are aimed at the center table. No matter what happens here, every prep school kid in Manhattan will know the outcome less than 5 minutes after its over. Take your places! Alright, so. Most conflicts in the waking world will be resolved by Contests. It would look bad on St Raphael's if its students were brawling in the streets! A Contest proceeds in rounds, where each participant makes a single skill roll, using the Overcome action. In this case, it'll be an Athletics roll. If one participant succeeds, they get a victory. if they succeed with style, aka by 3 shifts or more, they get two victories. First person to 3 victories wins the whole shebang. Any ties mean the situation changes due to a dramatic twist. Participants and spectators may also try and make Create Advantage rolls, but if a participant tries and fails, they also forfeit their Overcome roll for that round of the contest. Let's do this!

"Tch." Ash sneers and walks on up to the table, stopping to grab a random person's camera and speak directly into it. "Listen the gently caress up, Manhattan! My name's Aisling Tierney and I'm gonna rock this goddamn island on its arse, and this piece of poo poo's first! This is a fuckin' warning!" Her address finished, she makes her way to the table and sits down.

FP 5/5 "I was right!" Chuck claps and laughs! "It WAS a hot-dog eating contest!" As he walks over to the table...well, walks, bounds, floats, same difference...he tries to think back to lunch. "Hey, you know, Not-Masterson, when you were making an idiot of yourself at lunch today, didn't you say something about loading up on protein? That stuff's pretty bulky, right? I mean, how much space can ten dozen protein shakes and a carton of energy bars take up in a guy's stomach, anyways?" His sunny smile takes on the edge of a mocking smirk. "Unless, I dunno, milk takes up a lot less space than I thought. In which case you probably oughta find a bathroom before you sit down to eat..." Let's use Provoke to place an advantage on Masterson before the contest starts. Something like "Bloated Belly" or "Gotta Find a Bathroom"!

"Ha-ha-hii~!" Elodie steps in front of the cameras after Ash. With attention all over her, she does the Sailor Moon wink, both fingers and all. "I'm Elodie! I live right here in Manhattan and I love skating, hip-hop, and uh..." She points at Masterson. "Taking the pegs off of bullies like him. People like him wanna put others down for like, what? Law of school jungle and he wants to be the king? Why would wanna root for a selfish guy like him? We're all here to be friends, right?" She sweeps her other towards Ash, as if to direct the camera attention back to her. "Anyway, my BFF Ashy's gonna show him that's not right. So, um, please root for her! I love you guys!" A sparkle-smile again. Using Rapport to instill the Power of Friendship as an aspect: /+/++5 = 7

Alita finishes the hotdog she took before and looks over at Ash. "I can help I think." She sits down at the table, hands folded in her lap, waiting for the 'start' signal. I'm thinking Alita's Synthetic Body stunt might be helpful here, potentially. One question, is it competing as sides or what? I don't want to steal Ash's thunder here either.

"Go, Aisling!" Masterson's crony shouts. By the time Masterson looks up in surprise, his crony has already switched tracks and unzipped his hoodie. "You were expecting a lackey..."

Aisling keeps stuffing her face full of weiner, glaring at Masterson. Then she takes a look at her companions. If she loses here, they're probably going to try to console her and be all "We're still your friends, Ash!" What a pain.

FP 5-1/5 "Whoo hoo!" Chuck raises one arm in a fist as the other holds a half eaten hot dog. "We've got...wait, 'sidekicks'? What happened to 'friends'?!" He looks a little sad as he takes another bit of his hot dog. Then he looks at Ash. Wow, look at her go! She really wants to win this contest! It'd really suck if he screwed that up for her because of one word. Alright, Chuck, buckle down and keep eating! Think of how much big birdies eat and how much gas Stratofortresses need! I can help too! OM NOM NOM (Athletics): 4dF+4 4 and invoke Strength: Upright (or Military Brat for the discipline) to make that a +6 as well!

Alita waves to Mio. "Hi Shadow☆Nova." She looks around at the others, and figures it out. "Oh. It's a sprint, not endurance." With that, she starts shoveling hotdogs in at a truly startling rate.

Chowdown Bolstered by the cheers of the crowd, the challengers begin to scarf down hot dogs even faster than before, while Masterson looks a tad queasy. The cheers are particularly loud around Alita, and students are jostling to try and get the best camera angles. Most snapshots are sent out with "Shes not even chewing!" as the caption. As the team munches their way forward, another fresh platter is placed in front of the contestants. The contest continues! Victory Count Alita: 2 Chuck: 1 Aisling: 1 Masterson: 0 Round 3, go!

Aisling glares over at Alita. Dammit, all the attention is on her! How the gently caress is she going to make a name for herself with that idiot going viral. "God dammit, this is my moment! And turn that garbage music off!" She yells at Alita and Elodie, but because her mouth is full of dog, it comes out as a few muffles. Then she goes back to stuffing her face. <Krysmbot> Waffleman, ++4 = 5

Finale The crowd cheers wildly as Aisling and Masterson go head to head. The two stare daggers at each other as they shovel hotdogs into their maws. This is the final platter. Reputations are on the line. They both reach for their last dog at the same time! The kids around them go dead silent. Masterson begins to chomp down, the thrill of looming victory evident on his face. Aisling however, uses the ninja provided water to soak her dog. And as Masterson coughs on a bit of dry bun, Aislings swallows the last half of the wiener! Victory! The sea of uniforms around them goes nuts. No one has ever bested Masterson in anything before! A flurry of social media posts goes out across the city, as the prep school elite spread the word of the weirdly cool kids from St Raph's.

Adora stands back, looking over her work with approval. "Perfect." Everything in the room has been repositioned for maximum harmony. The bed is now beneath the window, so that the dawn's light can serve as a sort of natural alarm clock. The desk is on the east side, so that natural light can penetrate and make the room as easy as possible to work in. Masterson, of course, has his own room, so there's no worry about balancing the room for the evenness of two partners. This means moving the clothes in the closet so that they are evenly spaced, for maximum accessibility and ease of use. His shoes, thrown about unevenly, have been neatly arranged on the floor. At first glance, the room has experienced nothing but improvements. There has to be balance, after all. Obtaining explicit pornography at St. Raphael's is difficult to impossible. There is, of course, a thriving undermarket in it, and any porn site not blocked by the filters is quickly seized upon by as many students as possible. However, the administrators are just not up to the times when it comes to drawn images. Particularly drawn images of Incredible Gayness- "it's just about two cops facing the world" convinces most casual onlookers. Said drawn images have now been carefully placed in every location a piece of paper could conceivably fit without being visible. In shirt pockets, between pages of looseleaf, in drawers, beneath the mattress, in shoes, beneath the sheets, in sports gear, in textbooks, taped to the underside of chairs and the inside of closet doors- a subtle, but thorough wallpapering of the room. A big, obvious mural only works once. Masterson's going to be picking this stuff out for weeks. Adora grins. Time to make like trees and leaf.
