Re: Roll to Dodge - Mecha
Let there be rolls.
Tomaster
(Vladimír Shurla) [5]: Let's crack this ♥♥♥♥♥ open.
"Back off bud, this is my loot."You could probably just use your finger, but these swords are cool as ♥♥♥♥. You pull your shortsword out again, and use it to slit the tape sealing the box shut, then return it to its sheath. You carefully peel open the large cardboard box, and find a large piece of styrofoam. You take it out and throw it to the side, then look again. Inside, each resting in its own small molded compartment, is an anti-static bag, each with a big bold white word.
LIGHT
MED
HEAVYYou take out the LIGHT package, easily tear open the top, and pull out the contents. It's... well... Huh? It's two of some kind of machine part, but you don't really know what the hell they are. They're two square boxy U's, with a small plug in the center of the the inside of the bend. You look at them, confused, until you see a similar shaped hole on your suit's arm.
"...Nah. Couldn't be..."You give it a try and holy ♥♥♥♥ it WORKED! The part slotted in with a click on both arms, and a small screen pops up in your HUD. Several progress bars flash by quickly before they disapear, leaving only a small window that reads
"Occam's Edge Resonator successfully installed."PilotAbilities:

("Amazigh") [6]: "Let's crack this ♥♥♥♥♥ open."
Back off bud, this is my loot.You stay back a bit while Vlad opens the box, then pulls out a bag, and when he's distracted you nab the HEAVY bag.
This one's quite a bit chunkier than the one Vlad picked up, and you quietly open it open and see what it contains.
Hmm? A rather large... thing. It's about the size of a dinner plate, but roughly five sided and thicker, with a large portion sticking out in the center.
You look the part over and see a small barcode on the back, which your suit immediately scans. It suddenly beeps rapidly, and a box on your HUD identifies the part as a "Kinetic Multiplier", and a small graphic pops up, directing you to insert the part onto your chest. As you look down, a couple armor pieces slide back, revealing several ports on your suit's chest.
You slot the part on, and it clicks several times before the armor pieces slide back, locking it in. A large box comes up on your screen, filled with scrolling numbers and progress bars, and after a good 20 seconds of confusing jumble, it all disapears, leaving you with just a single box saying
