PIGS

[soulping]

You are in what looks to be a large operating room (actually cleaned and sterilized!). In the center is a standard operating table, and on either side are two... humanoid beings. Alchemical automatons, made out of metal, flesh, wire, a paper substance - all kinds of substances put together. Their cold, dead black eyes gaze at you. Staring. Empty.

Along the edges of the room are large tubes - containers filled with an odd fluid. Most are empty, except for two - in two are body parts.

RULES

[soulping]

The two automatons are here to help you BUILD A BODY!

Goals:
1. Build a body: Head, Torso, Arms, Legs, and a Heart.
2. The quality of the parts are Excellent, Normal, and Poor. You want the best quality body for your creation!

Each automaton can do one task per round. Delegate!
Part quality can be increased!

Tasks for the automatons:
- Steal part from another team: there is a 20% chance of failure, and organ quality upon successful theft is 40% Poor, 30% Normal, 10% Excellent.
- Collect parts: there is a 10% chance of failure, and organ quality upon successful collection is 40% Poor, 30% Normal, 20% Excellent.
- Improve quality: automatons can spend a turn making a selected part better! There is a 5% chance of failure. If the part is Poor quality, there is a 5% chance of it going directly to Excellent quality.
- Trade: Send an automaton to another team to trade organs! Tell it the message you want it to relay and which part to bring with it. THE OTHER TEAM DOES NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT, and the automaton will return with the part it had.

ROUND 1

In the containers: Poor Heart, Excellent Legs

Let's focus on the head and torso first...

TURN IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN IN

[oblivionize]

They're sending both Automatons out to collect!

Specifically what they're trying to do is Gold follows one to try and help and Citrine the other. To help/investigate because!!! They're tinies who would try that. Meanwhile, if they manage that, they're leaving Silver behind to take care of the body parts they do have... and are tasking him with... talking to them... because that will help (no). And all else fails they'd probably join him and talking to them because why.

ROUND 2

[soulping]

Oh no! An automaton broke in while the others were away and stole the Poor Heart!

Automaton 1 returns from their venture with Good Head! It looks like it was frozen recently. In storage...?
Automaton 2 returns from their venture with Good Torso! It looks like it was frozen recently. In storage...?

Current parts: Excellent Legs, Good Head, Good Torso

[WHY ARE PEOPLE STEALING, ASSHOLES.]

...Well I guess we should send them out again.

Re: DISCUSS

[foxpas]

[she's reaching behind herself on instinct, but she isn't carrying her sword anymore, so...]

... I guess now we just need arms and to collect a heart again...?

TURN IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN IN

[oblivionize]

Sending both out to collect more parts! Same thing as before in that they will continue trying to pamper and talk to their parts here...

But Gold makes special note to thank the automatons for their hard work and encourage them.

ROUND 3

[soulping]

The automatons do not seem to be receptive or either criticism or praise.

Automaton 1 returns from their venture with Good Heart! It looks like it was frozen recently...
Automaton 2 returns from their venture with Excellent Arms! They're fresh, warm and bloody, and look like they were literally just cut off a living person!

Current parts: Excellent Legs, Excellent Arms, Good Head, Good Torso

Re: Discuss

Now we upgrade the torso, and... then what?

TURN IN

[soulping]

END

[soulping]

The upgrades were successful!

Current parts: Excellent Legs, Excellent Arms, Excellent Head, Excellent Heart, Excellent Torso

As Henwen has successfully assembled a complete body, the best parts are selected. The two automatons pull out each of the five parts and place them on the central operating table, both gathering around it to slowly tug and stitch and sew... and the body gives a low groan of pain and suffering before everyone is ejected from the room.
