Made some cards

Retrop Set 01: Lush Concrete Jungle

Featuring cards from Pokemon Black & White and Pokemon Sun & Moon

(will make more down the line hopefully)

Big Bang Inc... "Trio" declared both his name and his company's name with an air of importance, as if those names were something a toddler would know. Indeed, reading the business card gave Retrop a feeling of familiarity, as if his past self had at least heard of them. And yet, the familiarity was refined into a feeling of unimportance, like an endangered species that had gone extinct. Whatever Retrop was sent here for, "Big Bang Inc." wasn't important to his mission. Still, the last thing Retrop needed was extra obstacles to the truth, so Retrop did his best to put on a polite greeting.

It's good to meet you.

Retrop then absorbed the business card into his inventory... was he always able to do that? Retrop recalled finding a letter out of nowhere when he arrived outside the mansion. Storing small objects was an action that Retrop somehow knew how to unconsciously perform, like a human breathing in oxygen. Whatever it was, this odd ability wouldn't carry much and probably wouldn't have much use. The card would likely have to be discarded later to make space for this inventory.

Surprised by the giant's question, Retrop panicked a little. Should he reveal his lacking hand to the interrogator? No, it would be better to prevent his peers from gaining suspicion. It would be best to bluff with the information he had.

Who am I? I'm Retrop. Like the rest of you, I was invited to this mansion by the brilliant Dr. Marceau.

I suppose we'll be working together to solve our current predicament, as the good doctor has been kidnapped, and we've conveniently been given this experimental weaponry to rescue him.

Retrop, hoping to present himself as a confident, reliable asset to his fellow teammates, decided to try and rally up the purple titan.

Of course, if you wish to back out of this potentially dangerous mission, I won't stop you~

Retrop made certain to emphasize the last part of that sentence with a tone of teasing. Hesitation meant weakness, and he didn't need to appear weak to his allies.

The robot.... at least, he was fairly certain he was a "robot", had woken up not more than 20 minutes ago next to an imposing mansion. In those 20 minutes, dozens of thoughts and questions had been processed. What time was it? Why was he here? What was his purpose? Before he could figure out the answer, he noticed several other robots showing a letter of invitation to a nearby scanner to enter the mansion. Guided by instinct, the robot lifted his right hand and discovered a letter with a familiar design.

Why should he follow the others? He doesn't know who they are. They don't know who he is. Heck, he barely knows who he is. And yet, as if fate itself had forged a map of where he was needed, the robot believed that this mansion carried the secrets of why he had appeared.

And so, the robot got himself to his feet and walked up to the gate, letter in hand. Mimicking the motions of those that arrived before him, he scanned the letter to the nearby reader.

"Name?"

The reader's mechanical drone had presented the robot with a question. A question that Retrop barely had an inkling of how to answer... wait, "Retrop?" In the second it took the robot to ponder his identity, a 6 letter string had been outputted in his mind. This little sliver of information had confirmed the robot's suspicions. Whoever, wherever, and whenever he was, this mansion had something to do with Retrop's true purpose.

After giving his name, settling down at a fancy table, and witnessing the abduction of a rather annoyed inventor, Retrop followed the doctor's words and checked under the table. A perfect fit, Retrop thought to himself as he fitted the Copy Arm on his right arm. He marveled at the intricate design of the weapon. His processors beated in glee. The Copy Arm, just like this mansion, had a strong connection to why he found himself awake here. Rescuing the doctor became secondary. The secrets of the mansion and the experiment on his arm? Retrop knew that these were the keys to the treasure chest of his past.

The answers to my purpose are here... Let us begin.



Retrop
The Truth-Seeking Drifter
Wandering Class

Another anomaly occurs, and the metall avoids all of the attacks within the blink of an eye. The metall appears above his foes, having produced a propeller to begin flying, and starts lobbing... bombs?! But where did those bombs come from? It doesn't matter now, as the battlefield is covered in a flood of explosives heading straight towards the ground.

The Metall, annoyed at the consistency of the DOSbots' appearances, finally faces the bots head on with a flurry of buster shots.

....

One second, the metall is directly in the trajectory of the Hidden Missiles. The next, the metall is in a completely different location. This time, the metall fires a shot designed to make a lot of noise on impact with the force field.

....

The metall blocks the Foot Dive with ease, then retaliates with another shot.... at the force field.

The metall fires another shot at the tower's force field

The metall, who is now conveniently near the tower, fires a shot at the forcefield.

A Metall appears on the planet, seeking for a worthy challenger.

hi so

I kinda got burned out on running this thread, and I just got extremely tired on running it. Even after my schedule cleared up, I just didn't have the resolve to continue this. I'm pretty sure the people in this game have moved onto Beta's RMMD, so yeah keep playing that because this ain't getting updated by me.

I'm leaving a link to all the abilities/passives I had planned to appear at some point, and feel free to ask me any questions on Lab Defense DX either here or on Discord. If you wanna use any of the materials I was planning to use for Lab Defense go ahead, you don't need permission or anything lol.

Thanks to all of you for playing, I do want to make a new roleplay game sometime in the future, but that won't be for a while. Have a good day y'all

(P.S. if you want to continue Lab Defense/make your own spin on it, go ahead, just make sure you have the free time to do so for a while)

---

Finally! All of you are here!

All the mechas here started rebelling, and they've taken control of the Column.

I've managed to hang onto this last Checkpoint, but until we take all the other Checkpoints, the virus mechas are controlling the facilities

I'm in no condition to fight, so I'll leave the rest to you.



This ought to be tough. A chasm keeps us from the other Checkpoints. If I can just get one more Checkpoint, I should be able to control the bridges between the two sides.

If you fall into the chasm.... well, we'll try and recover you in time for the next wave.

All players, send your commands as if you were standing on the Blue Checkpoint.

On the Discord? Yeah!

Carl goes 1 space up (and 1 space right, if needed) to rescue to Sniper Joe.

Hi ya'll! Sorry for the late reply. I though I'd be pretty free because school's out but I had a lot of work to make up.

Lab Defense DX will return March 23rd. Sorry for the second delay, but I can guarantee that it'll be up by then.
