2. ... just really need to know what it is you saw.

"Why? Why is it you want to know so badly?" David is shouting now.

"I just need to know, man. I need to know what the fuck is going on around here," you say, in a calming tone.

"You... you're one of them," he says, and, suddenly, reaches for his rifle.

Before you can react, Jacob is in the room. "David!"

David's head snaps over, and his arm freezes. "Stay back!"

Jacob is walking forward slowly, arms raised. "Listen. Nobody has to get hurt. Just calm down. I'm sure our friend here just wanted to talk. There's no need for violence."

"He fucking started it! He wouldn't leave me alone with his questions. He and that girl are fucking part of it! You all are!"

David goes for his rifle again.

"David, no!" says Jacob, but this time, David doesn't stop.

********************************

1. Pull out your own pistol from your pocket. You might be able to get it on David before he can bring his rifle around. Then you can tell him to drop it, calm the situation down.

2. Pull out your own pistol, and shoot David.

3. Try to get to some cover. The counter. Jacob might be left in the open, but maybe he can calm David down.

3... and draw the pistol.

1. I'd go for 2 but Jacob might be a little mad about that.

Classic · « **Reply #287 on:** September 21, 2008, 01:55:55 AM »

Well, I had a feeling it would come to this... But I was also under the impression we were in tackling range. I'd much rather tackle him and try to subdue him than try to talk him down while doing something hostile.

Well, fuck. We can't kill THIS one...
Umm... ... Shit!

2.

David will just end up blowing a hole through Jacob otherwise.

Classic · « **Reply #290 on:** September 21, 2008, 02:06:10 AM »

1. If we go for 3, David will blow a hole through Jacob. If we go for 2, Jacob will blow a hole through US.
And though it's going to be really bad to have someone who is crazed and not-at-all interested in negotiating with us in a mexican stand-off, I think we have better odds of him missing. What with us being the huge stressor on his mind.

I'm sticking to it, because as sure as I am we can plug him or take cover, I'm way more sure we want his attention on us, not on Jacob and DEFINITELY not on Nicole... There's no other way to get us all out of this alive. He's not going to be another Benny.

I think that applies much more aptly to choice 2.

Classic · « **Reply #292 on:** September 21, 2008, 02:26:29 AM »

I'm counting David in the "all," but yeah, I don't want to risk Jacob or Nicole being hurt.

1. Because we may get the gun pointed at his head before he has the rifle ready, and then maybe Jacob will be able to reason with him.

Detonator · « **Reply #294 on:** September 21, 2008, 05:57:46 AM »

2. This guy wants us dead, and may shoot us even with the firearm at his head. Jacob will have to understand, and if he doesn't, good thing we got a gun.

Because pointing a gun at someone will go over just A-OK, but actually shooting them results in it ricocheting off their body of steel and back into our brain.

This is the 9mm we're carrying now, right? Time to keep the safety off at all times.

1. There's still a chance for this to be not-bloody. Not, like, a good one, but hey.

Because Jacob doesn't understand the concept of self defense?

"You shot that guy who was just about to shoot you! You ASSHOLE!" *BLAM*

Classic · « **Reply #298 on:** September 21, 2008, 12:56:45 PM »

Because how we handle this is going to determine how long Jacob trusts us in spite of our reveal. We need Jacob to trust us and we need to be able to trust Jacob.
David might be a lost cause trust-wise, but being a decent human being, I think, means risking it on the off chance he'll be calmed down. Plus no one's going to pursue malpractice against Jacob if he makes a "mistake," inspired by behavior that he sees and bloodthirsty.

... Then again, I'm kind of paranoid about that in general, but I think that's having just watched Sweeny Todd while intoxicated talking.

3.

Standing out in the open is stupid, there's no reason for him to not shoot right at us, we can't judge his thought process right now.

If we shoot him, Jacob will probably get pissed, at the very least, we wont be able to stay around much longer.

If we take cover and wait for Jacob's move, at the very least we have a better chance if he shoots first, at the worst case scenario, he goes to shoot at Jacob and we're protecting HIS life. Best case scenario, Jacob can in fact talk him down while we're out of harm's way.
