Hybridity XI
Day Eight Bugle Boy and the Final Five
____ "Helotham has declared a state of emergency. With the departure of that menace, Captain Cain, and the destruction of the local tavern, the Doomslayer, those thieving pirates have devolved into chaos and looting. Nothing remains of the corrupt HCPD, and so no one is around to stop the pirate's reign. A few of our most outstanding citizens have taken it upon themselves to stand up to the pirates, but their efforts are far and few, and they've barely made a dent. Martial Law has been declared, and I have word that the guards from Blackraft are almost here. This City is your home, we cannot let these damn pirates take it from us!
____ ...that being said, leaving Helotham won't be such a bad idea. If you can somehow get your hands on a boat, I suggest you do. Go to some of the coastal cities to the North: New Coast, Starosha, and Fawcsym are good choices. Even the megacities to the East would be good, but whatever you do stay away from the West. That is unless you want to disappear into the vast ocean known as the Great Unknown.
____ I'd like to say more, but I can hear those menacing pirates busting through my beautiful, newly-painted doors downstairs. I wish Parker was around to take pictures!
____ They're coming up the stairs now, it's only a matter of time. I hope this broadcast has served you all. This will be my last edition. Goodnight Helotham do not go gentle into that good night. This is Editor-In-Chief John Jonah, Jr...signing off..."

____ "Hey kid, you're free to go," said the man in the icy suit. He tipped the fridge on its side and smacked the back, until the boy fell out onto the ground.
____ "I am soooo hungry!" Moaned the boy. "Couldn't you have fed me while I was in there?"
____ "I rob people and stuff their bodies into fridges, do I look like a caterer!"
____ "What's the point? Your probability of actually robbing anyone worthwhile is only 3.5%. Why bother?"
____ "Have you not been listening? This city is a wash. I've been building a boat with the scrap and I'm getting out of here. Hel has frozen over."
____ The boy contemplated that. "Can I come? I have some scrap, and not many other options."
____ "What, do you have Stockholm Syndrome or something? Get out of here, brat!"
____ ".4%"
____ "Huh?"
____ "That's your chance of surviving alone. .4%. You need a crew, take me."
____ The man in the icy suit laughed and walked off.
____ The boy sighed and ran off to the port, maybe there was still a boat there that could take him.

____ The shadowy woman finally swam back to Helotham, to the sight of riots and fires.
____ Good, easier to swipe a ship and disappear.
____ She pulled herself onto the docks and tried to blend in with the shadows. Merchants rushed this way and that, while small and medium boats pulled away from the docks and rushed away from the city. Pirates captured citizens, mugging them and taking their scrap, while fires were set on random buildings.
____ She ran towards a rowboat, but it was already sinking in the shallow coast.
____ Wait, what about The Krakkan? It was still here in the-
____ A bolt of red energy blasted her in the back, and she landed face-first on the wooden dock.
____ In her daze she could hear someone standing over her.
____ "That was for Scion," said Red.
____ The woman's vision went black and she passed out. The guards from Blackraft would most likely find her in the morning, and arrest her.
~
____ Five figures had the same idea, to escape aboard The Krakkan and get out of Helotham.
____ They stood, side by side, and watched as the only ship left burned to cinders in front of them and disappeared into the dark water.
____ "Great", said the boy.
____ On the left was a teen known as Raptor Rex, who had the tattoo of an A on his neck.
____ Beside him was a black man holding an electric battery, known as Shockwave.
____ The boy was next, the genius everyone called Possibility.
____ Beside him was a dog with KC written on his collar.
____ And lastly was a woman with long crimson hair and a skirt. She called herself Greyfire.
____ One of them knew a way to get out of the city, but there was only room for one...

____ The guards from Blackraft arrived swiftly. Their vessel was a large, solidly built craft, and as it docked on the Eastern side of the port, three dozen men in armor pooled out. The five watching on the dock thought they had been saved, but the guards arrested anyone they came into contact with, and dragged them back to the vessel. They had to flee.
____ "We swim. We'll adapt," suggested Shockwave.
____ "Probability of drowning is too high. Higher for me and KC." Said Possibility. "We could build a boat - a raft - I can figure out a way. If everyone pools their scrap, I can build it."
____ "You're going to need supplies," said Greyfire.
____ "Doomslayer. Da remains, yes?" Suggested KC. That was the first time the other four realized that the dog could talk, but they didn't have time to comment.
____ "The...dog...is right, lets take the wood from the tavern and build a way out of here." Said Raptor Rex. There was a small dinosaur trailing him wherever he went, a runaway from Savage Island.
____ So with their plan in action, they took off towards the remains of the tavern. A lot of chaos and confusion stood between them and the wooden planks they needed for the boat. Pirates here, fires there, guards all over. The lights in this part of the city had been destroyed, so a lot of the time they were traveling in the dark. It was hard to figure out what was going on.
____ They reached the remains of the tavern, and luckily the planks and pieces were still there. Soon with the help of Possibility they'd get out of the fallen city.
____ "Hey, where'd the boy go?" Asked Raptor Rex.
____ The group looked around. Only four of them remained.
____ "Right here he was," said KC.
____ "Without him, how are we going to build this thing?" Asked Greyfire.
____ "We'll find a way. What I think is more important is...which one of us removed him?" Questioned Shockwave.
____ They stared at eachother suspiciously. They were running out of time, and if they made the wrong choice here then none of them would get out of Helotham without handcuffs. As if they didn't have enough to worry about...

So the game is afoot
perhaps we should look
at alignments, the assignment
tell us where our votes'll be sent
Days ago I told whoever heard the sound
I'm town and I'm down for cause
to eliminate any frauds and give pause
to any and all keeping us from leaving these shores.

Let me guess...JohannaMason gave you rhyming post restriction for this day phase?
I do remember the very first game in the series. There was a neutral survivor with a condition that only 3 players be alive at the end of the game.
Looking things over, it's pretty clear that the mafias are gone. So either one of our alignments/conditions has changed or the endgame changed with Dboy's lynch.
3 neutral autopsies on the front page. I'm guessing we have another neutral out there.
Looking at Johanna here. Post-restrictor seems neutral, like maybe she needs to have given all remaining players a restriction. Jawa, have you had a restriction yet aside from the one you already have?
