If it makes you feel any better, you would have died either way. Unless you had a very specific strategy for running away from the Hulk, it would have outpaced you and killed you in that situation regardless.

When in doubt, though, be more specific. I certainly won't mind.

"Bonus Experience: Bonus Experience can be spent at any time to level up Stats or Abilities (though not Techniques). Each player may spend at most 100 Bonus Experience per twenty-four hours of time in-game. The amount of Bonus Experience each player can spend is subject to sudden increases based on large acquisitions of Bonus Experience."


"Stats: Stats represent your raw physical and mental traits that are applied to everything you do. They generally require a large investment of experience to improve, compared to Abilities. A value of 10 is considered 'average' in a stat for a human, but the scaling system of stats is exponential as they move further away from 10.

-Some Techniques have minimum Stat requirements before they can be learned, but Abilities never will.

-Bonus Experience can be used to increase Stats."


"Abilities: Abilities represent one's mastery of a specific art, trade, or proficiency. They can generally be improved quickly from a low Rank, but true mastery of an Ability requires considerably more time and training. A Rank of 5 is considered the base value for being proficient enough in an Ability to use it with some level of efficacy.

-Many Abilities have Sub-Abilities that become available to train in past a certain Rank.

-Most Techniques require a minimum Rank in one or more Abilities in order to learn or discover them.

-Bonus Experience can be used to increase Abilities."


"Techniques: Techniques are specific skills that can be used, powers of either a physical nature, mental nature, or concerned with the mysterious ways of NP.

-Most require a certain Stat value or Ability Rank in order to discover, but many also have special requirements in order to discover and use them.

-Bonus Experience cannot be used to improve Techniques at will, but there may be another way..."


"Weapon Repair: Most weapons will wear down and break over time if they are not properly maintained. Although some weapons cannot be repaired, most, such as the Fencing Saber, can be fixed in some way. The Fencing Saber, for example, requires a Sword Polishing Kit to repair. You can probably find some of these at an Antique Dealer, though they have a strange tendency to be on sale in many less expected locations as well."


"Health Recovery:

-Natural Healing
---10 Health/24 hours of no combat

-Rest
---40 Health/8 hours of rest in a good bed
---30 Health/8 hours of rest in a decent bed/cot
---20 Health/8 hours of rest in a poor bed/shelter

-Meals
---6 Health/Filling meal
---4 Health/Decent meal
---2 Health/Meager meal"


"Meals: A meal can be consumed at most once every four hours for the purpose of health recovery."


"NP Recovery: Although the stat known as 'NP' is still largely a mystery to you, you appear to be recovering it at a rate of about 1 NP/5 minutes."


"Mental Stability Recovery:

-Natural Healing
---20 MS/24 hours"

>Stab it in the head before your sword disintegrates

The Zombie Hulk lurches toward you at an alarming pace, for dragging its entire body using only its arms. But you stand ready. You stand prepared. You wait until it reaches the perfect range, then make your move.

As you dart in to deliver the final strike, the sound of your footsteps alerts the Hulk that you're on the move, but it's already too late. Several meters from the Hulk, you leap forward, easily sailing over its clumsy attempt to grab where you previously were, and impale it through its skull with the full force of your leap.

The Hulk screams and thrashes, but that blow alone doesn't appear to be enough to finish off the creature. Drawing out your weapon, you barely lean back in time to dodge a spray of acid that shoots from its head, and deliver a second stab, then a third. For a handful of seconds, it continues to flail wildly, but the strength finally begins to leave its body, and it collapses in the ground.

You climb atop the fall Zombie Hulk to avoid standing in the growing pool of acid. Your Fencing Saber seems to have taken some heavy wear from the corrosion, but is still functional, at least for the time being.

You stand victorious!

Experience: 0/120
Maximum Recalls: 2
Maximum Volume: 1.4 cubic meters
Summoning Cost: 5 NP/1 minute
Upkeep: 1 NP/1 minute
Casting Time: 14 seconds
Description: Summons a dark, transparent image of someone or something from your memories. The image summoned will be able to interact with the surrounding environment, but generally not in the same way as the original. Unique functions or abilities will not be present in the created object or person, though they will possess the ability to move and carry out simple tasks.

The density and durability of things summoned with Shadow Recall is roughly equal to plastic, and everything will have a strange, ashen texture. Things summoned with Shadow Recall can be broken apart to the point of being useless, but cannot actually be fully destroyed, and will remain until dismissed.

Each Recall requires its own cast of Shadow Recall to summon, but the upkeep is only payed once for all summoned Recalls.

What's your compete level at?

When you said "Each player may spend at most 100 Bonus Experience per twenty-four hours of time in-game", do you mean each player as in each person posting in this topic? If so, put 100 bonus exp in acrobatics.

Oh, and tag.

Well, now that you've taken care of trivial matters like gigantic acid-filled zombies, it's time to get back to the really important things in life. Like finding a KFC.

You perform a front flip off of the Hulk's body while your Concentration lasts, and head outside through the debris-ridden entrance. It's dark outside and the sun has since set. The rest of the campus appears quite normal, despite the unusual events inside the Rec Center. At least, you figure they're probably unusual. Maybe they aren't. This kind of thing could happen three times a week on this campus, for all you know. Either way, you're probably not going to find KFC around here, so you decide to head back into the city.

The city is pretty active, and there are a decent number of people walking around. You try to get the attention of someone who doesn't appear to be in too much of a hurry. "Hey! Know where a guy can get some KFC around here?"

"Yeah, sure. Take a left three blocks down, and just keep following it. Should run into all kinds of fast food."

Perfect. Following the man's instructions, you finally manage to locate a KFC about a quarter of an hour later. Stepping inside, you glance at the menu. Who...who came up with these prices...? How could anyone have thought this was a good idea? You couldn't get a Filling Meal here for under $20! Even the least expensive thing on the menu is $8.

If you want KFC, it looks like you won't get it without forking over some cash.

>throws a rock through a window

The only obvious answer to this insanity is vandalism. There are no rocks inside the building, unfortunately, so you step outside. There aren't any rocks in the city streets, either, but you easily find a large chunk of broken pavement that will do nicely. You spin around and chuck it through the nearest window as hard as you can, not even caring that you are no longer in front of KFC.

The force of the collision sends cracks running through the glass, though the window itself doesn't break. The chunk of pavement, however, continues traveling, crashing through several shelves in the store and out the back of the building. Only now do you glance upward to investigate the name of your target: "Tricia's Style Trends." Looks like some kind of small store that carries designer clothing.

You can hear an enraged female voice from inside. "Alright, who the f*** was stupid enough to mess with me?!"

Maybe she wants to be your friend.

>Act like a mentally challenged person

You stare blankly at the hole in the window as an attractive woman who appears to be in her late twenties steps out of the store. "You! Are you the little bastard that threw a rock through my window?"

"Rock...? Is that something you can eat? This square thing looks different from the others. It has a funny hole in it..."

She glares at you, but you meet her eyes with an innocent look. It's hard to tell if she's buying it.

"Alright, brat, where are your parents."

"Pair-ence?" You continue to play dumb.

The woman grabs you by the front of your shirt and yanks you forward. "Don't f*** with me, kid. I'm sure what you did was caught on a security camera. This isn't going to be very hard for me to prove if I call the police. Now. What are you going to do to make amends for this?"
