PONIES

[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 2

[soulping]

Oh no! An automaton broke in while the others were away and stole the Good Legs!

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

You also seem to have broke even on part loss/gain. Huh.

Current parts: Good Heart x2, Good Legs

Roc's voice comes through the automaton: "Uhm... Please tell Yato... We don't need another heart and we don't have anything to spare... I'm sorry."

It has returned with the Good Heart.
