Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Marvin's Oregon States Report

Phazon Elite

New Member
My boss changed my schedule a few days before the event, so rather than play Pokemon with friends I hadn't seen in a year, I got to work in the store's Dairy department.

I arrive at ten am, clock on, chat with some people there, and get to work.

R1 vs. Milk Cooler
I open up and see that my milk coolers are completely empty. I roll for intelligence and miss, but make nice saving rolls on endurance and strength. After stocking the whole milk, I make a successful movement roll to my left to stock the 2% and 1%. A customer sees that we are out of the Umpqua 2% half-gallons, and using the minced English I have come to expect out of the Woodburn, Oregon community, asks me if we have more. I fail a search roll, but use Enhanced Perception to roll again . . . and fail once more.
0-1

R2 vs Eggs
I have a difficult time maneuvering my cart around the masses of humanity, and my opponents attack me T2 with their Idiot Child Translators. I defend at -2, but still make my Get Away From Me roll at +5 Charisma. I think I made a kid upset, but who cares? It's a kid.
1-1

BREAK
I go to a social networking site to display my anguish of missing states to perform caveman tasks.

R3 vs Milk Cooler
Seriously, again? The opposition is depleting my milk at the rate of 100 gal/hr, so my resources are all but wasted when I come back from my break. My Confidence bowed by -2, but I still made a successful Turbo Time roll and was able to get three pallets of milk stocked in 40 minutes.
2-1

LUNCH
I made myself a sammich that morning, and oh boy, was it ever good. Winco deli meat forever.

R4 vs Milk Cooler
Picture R1, but with all my rolls at -3 to fatigue.
2-2

R5 vs Scheduling
I discover that my opponent had used a Seeker on my help, leaving me alone in the active spot. I risk a donk, but am able to fortify my defenses enough to take on other tasks across the department. I make successful Appeal to Higher Authority rolls and score a critical success on my Kiss Manager Butt attempt, garnering me SIX Reputation Points.
3-2

R6 vs Unworked Pallet of Coffee Creamer
The overnight stocker is a lazy idiot, so I get the honor of doing some of last night's work for him. With Ragekin active, thus giving my efficiency a +5 and imbuing Haste on my forearms, I am able to get almost all the creamer worked. Sadly, a third party plays Interruption on me, and I am forced to help unload 20 pallets off of a truck, even though only four pallets are going to my department. My concentration falls to -4, and I am unable to finish the creamer before my shift ends.
3-3

So, 3-3 for the day, so no top cut for me, but I AM able to make fun of a coworker's weight to make up for it. ("Haha, you wear this tarp for a shirt!")

Props
Me.
Kwisdumb for texting me during the tourney.
