Game Thread - Ganbarimasu! All in a day's work

[Kuroimaken]

Shinobu's outward face is stern and very, very cold. On the inside, however, she's going all kinds of "Kyaaa! Kawaiiiiii!! I just wanna cuddle with her forever!!!".

With a sigh, she realizes that Ojou-sama might actually have a good reason to do this, then reaches for the younger girl's shoulders, and gently nudges her to turn around as she squats a little, looking down at Umeko. She doesn't exactly manage to keep eye contact level, and so unless Umeko looked up, she'd be staring straight at Shinobu's breasts.

"Ojou-sama. It is my duty to ensure that you do not go astray. It is likewise my duty to make sure that you are not, by any means, upset while in your academic pursuits. So I want you to tell me. Is someone bothering you at school?"

[skydragonknight]

Athletics (1d6=4) x 4 = 16.

Kittana steps just to side, grabbing the ninja's kicking leg and pulling down, and grabbing his second leg and pushing up, changing the ninja's momentum so that he lands head-first into the floor. She looks at the other two ninjas, gesturing at the one she had just thrown. "How fitting, that thou beings of the night seeketh the stillness of sleep."

[Negative Zero]

Not wanting to be entirely forgotten, Yuuka charges out from behind her screen, her chainsaw finally running.

"ExcusemebutpleaseleaveKittana-sanalone!" Is her unlikely battlecry as she flails the running chainsaw at the nearest ninja.

1d6*3=12

[Agita]

With a swift two-team combo of chainsaw and frying pan to the head, two more of the would-be ambushers fall - or rather, fly halfway through the room and then fall. The third takes a few measured steps back, and reaches behind his back to pull out... a walkie-talkie. "I... we could use some backup here, boss. No, boss, there's two... yes, boss... no, boss... okay, boss." With that, he drops everything he's holding and holds his hands up in the air wordlessly.

Since this is a light-hearted game, the chainsaw probably won't draw too much blood. Unless you want hilarious amounts of gratuitous blood. Whichever you guys prefer.

"..." Umeko's only answer to Shinobu is to blush and turn her head slightly to avoid looking down at the maid's... assets. She still refuses to look up at her or raise her voice, however.

[Kuroimaken]

"Do you not trust me to guard your secrets, Ojou-sama?" Shinobu offers with a gentle smile. It certainly seemed that blackmail could be in her demeanor... but perhaps the girl meant better than she looked.

"Fair enough. Just this once, we'll skip school and go for some ice cream. But tomorrow, I want to see you in class. Promise?"

[skydragonknight]

Kittana points to the door. "Leaveth. Now."

[Negative Zero]

Backup? I don't like the sound of that.
"K-Kittana-san? I think more are coming..." The idling chainsaw's motor all but drowned out her voice.

Gratuitous bloodshed is just as appropriate to this genre as the opposite. I'm not picky.

[skydragonknight]

Kittana nods. "This calleth for a changeth in tactics."
She grabs the man and throws him down. "Telleth thy men to back down, or Yuuka will sever thee from thy manhood."

[Negative Zero]

Emboldened by the strongarm tactics, Yuuka offers an angelic smile, revving the chainsaw slowly.
"Don't worry; I'll go nice and slow so I don't hit the femoral artery."

[Agita]

The ninja retreats a few steps, saying, "Sorry, but my boss would do even worse stuff... well, although..." He raises the walkie-talkie to his lips again. "Boss, permission to run for it?"
Denied. Suddenly, a hulking, vaguely humanoid shape covered in rags is standing next to the window. It must have snuck in through the broken window... but how did it do so unnoticed with its bulk? It's holding what looks like a kitchen knife in each hand... or, well, what would pass for a kitchen knife for someone of its size. Really, it's more like a big sword. You're surprisingly good at hiding. But now I'll teach you to mess with my business, bakaneko. You as well, pink-haired lady. I'm afraid you chainsawed one of my cooperators.

He's basically calling Kittana a stupid cat, and making a pun on 'bakeneko' (monster cat/demon cat) while he's at it.

Kittana: This is Blackknife. He is a former russian mafia don who now runs the Yakuza as well. And has ninjas. And is a ninja himself. You foiled his plans some time in the past, and he's pissed about it. Details are up to you.

The mistress looks up at Shinobu as the maid makes her offer. At first, she looks a bit... happy? No, more like relieved. Then, her face turns slightly sheepish, and then it reverts to her usual blank expression as she nods silently.

[skydragonknight]

"Thou should hath purchased minion insurance after our last meeting. Mayhaps though hast forgotten thy previous punishment for cat-napping my sister and for meaning to sell her?" Kittana says.

Her tail is now lower and her ears curved back, as if she were about to hiss. She draws her frying pan. "Face Stainless Steel, villanous knave!"

[Kuroimaken]

"Wonderful! This way, if you'd please. I know a wonderful ice cream parlor just down the street."

It's getting slightly boring, so this is the RANDOM EVENT ICE CREAM OF DEATH! ...how do I do this again?
Oh my! What happened? (1d6=5)

[Negative Zero]

"Did not." Yuuka pouts. She loses her train of thought entirely, though, listening to Kittana's story with rapt interest. Her eyes are fixed on the catgirl maid, apparently having forgotten all about the big guy.

[skydragonknight]

Basically, this guy was a smuggler when he and Kittana crossed paths. They fought aboard a ship in Tokyo port which supposedly was carrying sardines, but was really carrying non-human humanoids to be sold to those with exotic tastes.

Her cat eyes narrow horizontally as a recent memory comes to mind. A note in her sister Katlyn's handwriting. "Be it THOU!?"

Filled with anger, she jumps in the air and swings her frying pan down...
Athletics (1d6=1) *4 = 4

[Negative Zero]

Yuuka doesn't really know what's going on, but she knows when her fellow maid needs help, and she goes about applying her chainsaw in a proactive manner.

1d6*3=18

[Agita]

Blackknife doesn't so much parry Kittana's frying pan as he simply swings his so-called knives at it and violently repels it with the force of the impact... but he's unprepared for Yuuka's chainsaw, which lops off his arm with a sickening crunch.
...Crunch? Instead of blood, only sparks come out of the wound, and it doesn't seem to hurt the mafia boss. Hmpf. Suddenly, his body splits open in the middle, the top half falling off to reveal a slightly smaller, but still hulking man of otherwise identical appearance sitting inside. The smaller Blackknife takes the oversized knife that the bigger one - obviously a power suit of some kind - was wielding in its intact hand and brandishes it at Kittana and Yuuka. You just love breaking my things, do you not? Is it so fun to make life harder for a poor criminal? You, flank the cat. Standing straight, the one left ninja nods and approaches Kittana, albeit with great care, and takes a swipe at her with a kunai to distract her while Blackknife himself charges, swinging the knife in two hands.

Remember how I said he's Russian? You may groan now.
Kittana has seen him doing this before, though the last time the original power armor was bigger.

Thanks to Yuuka's assistance, BK fails the defense with a 16 and takes 5 stress (22 divided by 4, rounded down).

Next, he attacks Kittana (though his scores are now reduced to 3 each), with assistance from the one remaining mook. Should've made good on your threats, rather than talking about it.
Blackknife attack, Mook assist (1d6*3=18, 1d6=4)
Ouch. Kittana needs to beat a 22 with her defense. Yuuka can assist, or attack him herself.

Just as Shinobu and the mistress are exitting the ice cream parlor with a cone of ice cream in each hand, they are confronted by a group of three women in schoolgirl-like uniforms, but with darker colors than Umeko-sma's, confront the pair. The mistress immediately seeks to hide behind Shinobu, while one of the women adresses her. "It has come to our attention that miss Satou is not currently at school. May I ask you to explain yourselves? Is... eating ice cream more important than learning?"

26 On the random event roll, so... ninjas again. This time, it's schoolgirl ninjas to drag absent students to school by force!

[Kuroimaken]

"Ara?" Shinobu doesn't seem so much worried as distracted by the three. "I wasn't aware Ojou-sama could speak the language of cockroaches. Then again, since I can hear you, that means I can too, so let me speak for her." She's lapping at her ice cream without a hint of worry on her face. After one particularly long slurp, which sends just a bit of chocolate-chipped goodness to the corner of her mouth, she licks her lips and gazes sternly at the three ninjas. "What Ojou-sama chooses to do with her time is her business and hers alone. And if she chooses to spend it on a date with me, her faithful, loving maid, I have no choice but to comply. THEREFORE!" Her eyelids droop ever-so-slightly, as a snake fixing her gaze upon prey. "Anyone who chooses to interfere in Ojou-sama's date with me shall face nothing but castigation in my hands."

She looks dead serious. Apparently, her love for her Ojou-sama is fuelling unparalleled rage!

Chapter 1 NONE SHALL BOTHER OJOU-SAMA!! THE VICIOUS GLARE OF LOVE! (1d6=3) I am going to intimidate them with my affection. Fly 'em to the moon. IN CHAINS!!

[skydragonknight]

Kittana focuses her attention on Blackknife and parries with her Frying Pan, causing sparks to fly everywhere. However, the effort spent repelling the attack requires all her lower body strength, effectively locking her in place, vulnerable to the minion.

She grits her teeth, even as the attack forces her backward a little. "Thou hast improved."

Defense (Athletics) (1d6=5) * 4 = 20.
The minion made the difference, so it's the one in position to stabify her.

[Negative Zero]

Her eyes filled with a strange look, Yuuka places herself between Kittana and the mook, ensuring Blackknife and Kittana can fight unhindered.

"You shall not damage her!"

Defense (Athletics):1d6*3=6

[Agita]

Yuuka moves into the way at just the right time, catching the ninja mook's knife between two teeth of her chainsaw. The weapon flies through the air as the man staggers backwards and lands on his butt, terrified by the close call, and makes a splish sound as it lands in the pool in the middle of the 'mansion'. The maids will have to get it out of there before the mistress can be bathed tonight. Weakling. Blackknife seems unfazed by his underling's failure, continuing to press the attack against Kittana. Sparks continue to fly as he keeps attacking her. Rather than just hit her, he seems to want to cleave through her frying pan and into her shoulder or head with brute force.

Yuuka's cooperation helps beat the check. Blackknife pushes all the Stress onto the mook, causing him to go out of comission. Then he attacks again. You should now be at an advantage, though, unless you have horrible luck.
Blackknife Attack (1d6*3=15)

The Schoolgirl Ninja leader opposes with Will (or anything really, since NPCs have the same score in everything for simplicity).
School Ninja Defense (1d6*2=6)
That fails, and takes 4 Stress.

The schoolgirl at the front of the group grits her teeth and subconsciously retreats a step as Shinobu fiercely stares her down. "A-are you saying that a lowly servant is inciting her master to skip school because she... wants to go on a date...? Have you no shame?" The two others accompanying her suddenly vanish and reappear behind Shinobu and her misstress, forming a triangle with the pair in the middle. One of them adresses Umeko-sama directly, ignoring shinobu, "Miss Satou, we are aware of your situation at home, but that cannot serve as an excuse for not taking your school attendance seriously." The mistress seems more intimidated by the three women than their leader is by Shinobu.
