Twisted Target - Killing Game AU

[CW: Death, Gore(? in future content)] *Subject to change

In an alternate timeline, after the events of Ch. 6 and before Ch. 7, S.T.Y.X. is granted permission to run a simulation on the overblottees (including Idia) for a rehab program. That simulation gets hacked, and is changed into a killing game. All the real players are Riddle, Leona, Azul, Jamil, Vil, and Idia. The rest of the 21 players (or more) are extremely convincing simulacrum of NRC students*. The simulacra are neutral players, simply programmed to fill slots and prolong the game when needed. The total number of players is unknown, and new simulacra may be added occasionally. Simulacra are unmarked and cannot be told apart from real players.

*Another real player may be brought into the game, and gets revived as a simulacrum after elimination or vice versa, starting out as a simulacrum then their real counterpart is forced to join the game.

The premise of the game is simple, everyone is given one target to eliminate and one to protect in secret. Players can be eliminated if they are killed in game, or the target they’re protecting is revealed*.

*If a player thinks they know who another is protecting, they have one chance to make a declaration before the next round. There are no consequences for a wrong guess. The targets remain the same each round, so there may be another chance.

The rules of the game get more complex when two or more players share the same target (to eliminate/protect). Some players can be doomed from the start if they have a paradoxical target.

Paradoxical targets:

• A: A that player must eliminate themselves and protect themselves. They can be protected by others, which stop them from their goal of eliminating themselves. (Best Strategy: Wait out the rounds until you’re one of the two players left.)

• B: The player must eliminate and protect the same exact person.

• C: Player A must protect Player B, but Player B must eliminate Player A.

Each round will conclude when at least one player is eliminated. If nobody is out of the game by a certain timeframe, then a loser is randomly chosen.

The game will run until a winning pair is recognized. A winning pair includes a player and the one they’re protecting as the last players standing, regardless if the protected player’s conditions are met (failed to eliminate/protect their target). If a winning pair does not emerge by the time two or less players are left, new players are brought in until there is a winning pair.

FAQ:

• What organization could have possibly bypassed the Cerberus System?

“:3 Why would we dox ourselves?”

• How are we expected to kill our targets if we don’t declare who they’re protecting?

“Magic, barehands, you can be creative! What, you think we’ll baby you and give you the tools? We’ve already provided you all with this beautiful playing field!”

• What happens after a real player is eliminated in game?

“Electric chair! …Or something. You probably don’t want to lose.”

• Will the winning pair be free once the game is over?

“Sure, if that’s what’ll motivate you to participate and not wait for RNG to randomly pick y’all off.”

• What’s with these janky rules and loopholes?! What’s the point in playing if you’re set to lose?

“It’d be boring if everything is clean and organized.”

• What happens if one of those imposters win?

“Then they win. Sucks to lose to an NPC.”

I think this vid did a great job explaining why the Oscars fell off.

But that quote at the beginning-- that Louis B. Mayer created the Oscars to placate/control actors and directors-- is something to chew on (at least, for me.) Fast forward to now, and no one believes in the movies that get awarded, really. It's just a hobnobbing event for the back patters. A shame, really. :////

That was very interesting! I used to love award shows so much - I would even take time off to be able to watch them (since they're on the middle of the night for me) and now I haven't cared for any of them in years.

I'm not surprised that's why Louis B. Mayer created the Oscars. In many ways, these shows have always been just to pat people's backs. Many (if not all) of the thank you speeches feel so phony. But in the past, it was at least an event you still wanted to watch. It was glamorous.

Personally - but that might just be a me thing - I find the "joking" in between so useless and not funny at all. Just give out the awards without all of that. Not to mention that the show goes on way too long. The biggest problem, however, is that you know it's not the best movie/script/whatever winning, but the studio that campaigned the most.

Didn't expect the year of our Lord 2025 to get into Alan Rickman, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes

The year of getting into an actor that so far I have only seen portray maladjusted men

Just read your Raphael post you reblogged recently. First off, it was really good, brought up some good points, some of which I never even thought about (like the striking parallels between Raph and Splinter).

In it, you mentioned how Raphael is the artist of the family and is seen throughout the show. You gave one example of it (his painting in the party wagon), but do you happen to know any other specific moments where his artistic abilities shine, or where it's even mentioned that he likes to draw/paint/etc.?

I ask because I only have access to the first 2 seasons (Netflix is cruel to me) and whatever I can find on YouTube. Also, because within the first two seasons, Donnie always came off as the artistic one. He seemed to mostly sketch for concepts of his projects (e.g. the mech), but he had drawings for other things that weren't necessary (like his plan to get April to hang out with him).

I don't want to make you scourer the show for other moments showing Raph as the artistic one, because I'll take your word for it. I'm just curious if you can name any others off the top of your head. Please have a good day!

The examples I gave in the post are the only ones present in the show (to my knowledge). Him painting the Venus girl on the Party Wagon in season 3, having spray paint cans and other supplies in his bedroom, along with in season 4 nicknaming his girlfriend after the Da Vinci painting “Mona Lisa”, and Chompy Picasso being named after the artist Pablo Picasso.

It’s not stated in the show directly but the hints are still obviously there, along with confirmation from the show’s creator/producer/writer, Ciro Nieli, himself on his instagram during the 10 year anniversary of TMNT 2012.

I will add that the other Turtles and their friends all do have their own respective art styles too. They can draw, as we’ve seen all of them do in the show:

Examples:

(Except Leo, we never get to see him draw in the show so I HC that he’s a terrible artist lol)

Like you said, yes Donnie has done some pretty impressive sketches for his blueprints and such, but overall out of the four brothers Raphael is the most passionate in drawing and painting much like Splinter. He’s the artist of his family.

I got my hands twist forward pose a bit wrong in Blender, I adjusted it to match more how my wings behave in VR so now I can revise it properly… getting close to the wings simply being done.

Other task is reconstitute my feather shader feathers, either with a new groom or chopping up old maps. Might do a new groom… old one had niggling issues.

Then it’s SEAM PAINTING.

Then it’s add backflip and die animations.

Then it’s rig work (upgrade hindlegs, add three base bones of neck to some custom poses.

Then it’s pose work (finalize custom poses).

Then it’s done, bar speciating it (texture work and groom work; combining both long grooms into one long groom, and maybe making a crow-fox be the second example gryphon).

I thought I had a week of work left a week ago, so this is maybe two weeks? Realistically?
