when chihiro is having his gay protagonist moment of realization about his beloved next door neighbor, nineties karen swings her pocketknife. as he reaches to grab it, the pocketknife stabs him right through the hand. blood spurts out from the injury - the lady cackles in glee and yanks the pocketknife out, then she starts to try and push past...
...seodore, who also failed! she succeeds in knocking your ass over into the crowd of stampeding people and slips past the both of you. for a second, you think you might be completely swept over as people start trampling over you. you can NOT die here. you haven't even gotten inside yet.
seodore, you hear welt yelling over your head, and welt got a partial success! that means that while karen gets away through the crowd crush and skitters off to go cause more mania, you are able to smack aside two men who are squawking about LIMITED EDITION! just in front of you, clearing a tiny path for the three of you to try and press forward, and ideally a chance for seodore to scramble back to his feet. the guys yelling about limited edition go down, and you hear a sickening crunch of a body being crushed, but honestly. fucking scalpers, they deserved it!
you're a little more than halfway to the kmart with this intervention and the crowd pushing behind you. the first two lines of people have broken through the doors. you're solidly middle of the pack, and the interior of the store is close enough that with one more push in the crowd, you might be able to break through.
since welt is at the front of the group, he'll hear the sound of a tire iron swinging through the air in a shing!. there's a guy coming up on the group's left side attempting to clear out the crowd by causing concussions, and he's got a line of fallen beanie baby warriors behind him, because he has been successful up to this point. it looks like he's got a bone to pick with you, glasses. you're in his way.
roll two d6s each of you to determine your level of success to making it inside the store/dealing with tire iron boy/anything else you want to do! ]
