[Group Post] Car Wars: A New Hope
Who| Anybody and everybody you want to throw in! This is a player-made group post.
What| Forming a war rig/battle car convoy to try and reach the edge of the map.
Where| Desert Zone - Nature District - Murderworld Arena - Planet Harrub
When| Day 1 of the Arena, immediately after people are thrown in (or any time they might hook up with the convoy) until the late evening.
Warnings/Notes|We Mad Max now Vehicular violence, regular violence, probably flaming guitars
OOC post discussion
It's a lovely, lovely day in the Desert Zone. The sun's out (because the sun is always out), the spearodactyls are soaring, and monstrous vehicles driven by mercenary tributes and their Warboy henchmen rumble through the dunes and harsh salt flats, hunting for unwary victims.
You are here.
Fortunately, you're not the only one here.
What We're Doing
You woke up with (or close enough to with) another Legionnaire (or Legionnaires) and have banded together. As team members find one another, they're forming a multi-war-rig convoy and making a run straight for the allegedly impenetrable force field in an attempt to break free.
On this journey, they will face opposition from the mercenary tributes. They will also have to cross through the sandstorm about halfway there. (You're also free to bring in your own hazards!)
Because having it all be one gigantic thread would be a mess, we're setting it up for everyone to be able to subthread whatever they want while handwaving the fact the convoy is going to the same place more or less together. Thread, NPC, and plot freely together. There will be a thread reserved for the end of the line.
When We Get There
The "finale" thread will have the Legionnaires reach the edge of the dome and do whatever they'd like to try and break it, instead just proving that they really can't bust out at this point. Then Arcade's hologram will appear to taunt them and use the Arena's teleportation systems to scatter the characters to other locations, wherever players deem fit to drop characters to continue their plot threading outside this post.
How Long Will This Take?
Assume this consumes most of Day 1. Characters will be scattered a little while before nightfall, so you'll have still have some time to do some Day 1 Things™ before Day 2.

Yeah, the unmasking isn't exactly a surprise.
"Congratulations, Dipper," he says wryly, "you've just figured out the plan. Now-" He catches something moving in their periphery. Projectiles- shit- "Get down!" He puts one hand on Mabel's shoulder and the other on Dipper's and forces them down, dropping to one knee himself and hunkering down just in time to see a thunderstick go sailing overhead. Either he would've caught that in the chest or one of the kids would've taken it in the head; either way, it's not anywhere near safe up here.

At the very least, none of their allies were hit. Then again, neither were any of their enemies. Considering she can't actually see anything from where she's laying on her stomach after having been helped into ducking, she's lucky she didn't kill anyone. The bullet had hit the side of another tanker and ricocheted harmlessly off into the sand. She very nearly lost the gun as well, as she hadn't expected the recoil.
"Did I get him?!"
I know this is ancient but I'd love to continue it if you guys are
Pressed down against the top of the truck, Dipper held out his hand and made a grabby hand.
Did it occur to him to give it to the actually trained soldier? Noooo. Dipper's first thought whenever Mabel couldn't do something was for him to try it. Just like he and Mabel's first inclination when he couldn't do something was for her to try.
