End this like the Hunger Games! Team Victory!

Friendship is magic.

Team Victory: 3
Individual Victory: 0

It seems we have our answer!


VICTORY GOES TO: Team Jiggletoast!
...That is the stupidest name they could've possibly come up with.

That's what happens when you let entities name their own team Bob.

That doesn't make it any less stupid.


The King Slime and Healing Toaster come to the victory podium and attempt to give a victory speech. Attempt, because neither of them can actually talk so no one understands them. Oh well.

And now we do a rollcall, going over the achievements and failures of every entity, in order of appearance.


And there you have it folks! That's it for this season!

We may do this again, we may not. Who knows?

Thanks for watching.

And have a good night.


OOC:
Alright. Thanks everyone who participated or checked this out. It was fun to do, and I hope you guys had fun watching this all pan out.
I will be totally honest ones after this are gonna get progressively more ridiculous and over the top, and definitely longer.

Thanks for tuning in though! See you next time.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the latest season closer!

Yes indeed, it seems Piono was satisfied with last season's thing, so he threw more money at us and now we're doing this again! Except more!

This time, not only have we more than doubled our participant count, but we have a few new audience powers for you all to use!

Those of you with the app or desktop download will see an info popup about those soon.

So sit back, relax...

And get ready to enjoy the carnage.


INFO TIME
This second showdown is going to introduce one new mechanic, and 3 new audience powers.
The mechanic is the 'proper form' of Waves. In the previous session the Waves all triggered automatically because there was only one entity per wave. Can't do that here, that would clog up the field way too fast.
I mean, it's gonne get clogged up at some point anyways, but that would make a bazillion times worse.
Anyways, how Waves now work is that every time a Wave spawns, it will remain that wave until half (rounded down) of the summons summoned in that Wave are down. So if, for instance, Wave II had 5 summons in it, Wave III would not hit until only 3 Wave II summons remained. However many Wave I summons were still alive would be irrelevant so any that survive the transition into Wave II could theoretically last the whole game. The chances are very very slim, but they're there.

The new audience powers are as follows:
Camera Filter: The selected entity will have the point of view focus on their thoughts at least once this round. Cost: 1
Liquid Badbutt: greatly increases an entity's chance to deal extra damage through flavor text shenanigans this round. Cost: 2
Divine Shield: greatly increases an entity's chance to take less damage through flavor text shenanigans this round. Cost: 2

Don't worry about having to jump back to this post if you forget them, they've been added to the opening post.


And with that out of the way...

WAVE I

The crowd around the edges of the arena cheers as the in-arena summoners hum to life. Two summons arriving to the field of battle at once.

The Angry Farmer snarled. He'd been made a fool of last time... He'd been destroyed by a rogue pitchfork and then a particularly violent potato... All of his drinking buddies had laughed at him (or would have if he had any drinking buddies) but now. NOW! Now he was going to win this! NOBODY COULD STOP HIM. Not even those... Are those some kind of animate action figure? Good grief the kind of rabble they let into these things.

The Evil Skylanders figurines weren't smart enough to think anything about the current turn of events, but they're just as ready to rip their opponent to tiny screaming shreds.


Wait hold on a second is that...

The Angry Farmer from last time? Yep. Didn't you read the contract? All the entities from last time are returning as well as the newcomers.

...why did we take this deal a second time again?

Because we'll do anything for money.

Hey now you aren't supposed to admit that on the air.

OOC: aaand we're back. Welcome to another round of Statstick Arena everyone. I don't know how this session is gonna go all the way, honestly. The Wave gimmick bottlenecks a bit at the current level, but hopefully it'll still be fun for all of us.

"You know what? The Angry Farmer is the real Underdog here. Let's give him some LIQUID BADBUTT. Plus Skylanders ruined Spyro for me, so I want them GONE."

Liquid Badbutt the farmer, then throw yer' pitchfork! You'll gain the respect of the town!

Liquid Badbutt: Applied to Angry Farmer!


Round 1:
The Figurines bounce and clatter across the stony surface of the arena, charging towards the Angry Farmer. The Angry Farmer stares them down, and suddenly feels a fire in his chest. He can do this, these pint sized plastic punks aren't going to stop him.
He charges forwards across the ground, twirling the pitchfork in his hands until it's pointed slightly down, aiming for a piece of the arena's ground that is cracked and fractured. He tosses the pitchfork (not attack-wise) forwards and it sticks in the chunk of earth so that when he leaps up and comes down on it, it wrenches a piece of rock out of the ground and up over his head.

The Skylanders figurines suddenly shriek as a group when they realize that they're about to get smashed and scramble to get out of the way.
Not all of them do.

The Angry Farmer slams the piece of rock down, smash it and several figurines in one swift blow that breaks it off of his pitchfork which somehow hasn't been consumed and remains fully functional. His elation is doused somewhat when he has to pick the remaining figurines out of his clothing before they can nibble him to death.

Are we sure this is the same Angry Farmer entity as was called in last time?

The Farmer shows the commentator's box his favorite finger.

Yeah I'm pretty sure.

One more liquid badbutt, then finish off the figurines and leave with your prize!

"Hey Farmer, here's a suggestion: Just swing your pitchfork widely! You should be able to take the rest out with a good sweep!"
-Ranod the rando

Execute Order Six and give the farmer more liquid badbutt, this world is too cruel to let those Skylanders live in it.

Liquid Badbutt: applied to Angry Farmer


Round 2:
The Angry Farmer has been totally outflanked by the skylanders figurines. With one to each of his cardinal directions, he has no way to keep his eye on more than two at once. He feels the same power stirring in his chest as he did before and feels the anger in his chest rise.

The farmer plants his pitchfork in the ground, and grips it tight. Then, as all the figurines fling themselves into the air, crying for blood he launches himself forwards. With his tight grip on his pitchfork he spins around in a circle around it, as if spinning on a pole like a gymnast. His feet collide with each and every single one of the remaining four figurines, launching them into the air.
Crunch. Crack. Shatter. Only one of the figurines remains living from its high arc through the air. The Angry Farmer pulls his pitchfork out of the ground and walks over to it, his footsteps falling with the sure inevitability of death. The figurine does not go quietly, and lunges at his face. The farmer snatches it out of the air, and then drops it when it bites his hand. The liquid badbutt still in full effect, he has good enough reflexes to punt the falling figurine clear out of the arena.
Evil Skylanders Figurines destroyed.

WAVE II

The Angry Farmer raises his pitchfork, letting out a cry of victory! He's not done yet, but right now, in this moment, he's come out on top. From fodder to fan favorite in what seems like the blink of an eye.
He steels himself as the in-arena summoners whir to life.

The healing toaster clinks about happily. Them and their friend from last time had been hanging out and having fun with last season's prize money. (SO MUCH TOAST. They'd thrown a toast party!) But the invitation had come in to come to the next bout, and they just couldn't say no!
The King Slime wasn't allowed to jump in at the same time as toaster though, which was a little sad, but hey it was okay. They'd see each other again pretty fast either way.

Hatsune Miku felt conflicted. She still wasn't used to the whole "being sent into battle dual wielding leeks" thing, but at least the total immortality that came with it tended to come in handy. Also the combat training, actually. Not having to hire your own security made scheduling concerts cheaper. Now she was here though for what was apparently a pretty big prize, so she was gonna make certain to give it her all.


...I feel like a pair of two pointers doing that something that crazy in their showdown is cheating somehow.

It's as they say: owae ma wou shinederi.

...I'm going to pretend you did that on purpose so I can move on with my life without strangling you.

Thanks.

I suggest the farmer recognize that the healing toaster is a valuable asset, being both a healer and friends with the powerful king slime, and team up with it against Hatsune Miku.

SUGGESTION:Farmer, team up with the toster! Its healing can help keep you alive and ready, preventing foes with better attack from deading you.
People die when they are dead! So don't die!

Walking the web of the net, I walk into this odd arena that seems relatively new and was immediately entranced with the current fighters.

Wanting to participate a bit as the audience I suggest for Hatsune Miku to calm the angry farmer down and team up on the healing toaster.

Toaster,make temporary alliance with Farmer

(small note, from now on I won't explicitly describe all conflict handling. Just know that I will first go for the highest voted actions, and will break ties by deciding which one will have a funnier outcome)

Suggestion: Angry Farmer should take advantage of the Healing Toaster's healing toast and team up with them!
Suggestion: Hatsune Miku should try to sing to the farmer to calm him down.


Round 3:
The Angry Farmer looks over at the healing toaster. They're still so chipper! And they beat him last battle... but... Hm. Last time, after the fighting was done and he watched the replays... The toast this toaster makes seems to have a strong healing effect. Perhaps... Perhaps it had just wanted to be his friend?
BAH THAT'S NONSENSE. But he can use the toast. He walks up to the toaster warily, and when it nudges the plate with the slice of toast on it over to him, he takes it, and eats it. He nearly gags, soggy toast is disgusting, but he chokes it down through the power of PURE ANGER and sure enough, the wounds sustained earlier while fighting the glorified caltrops disappear.

Miku looks at the farmer. That man looks like he's extremely overly stressed, he could probably use some music to soothe his soul...
She bursts into song, and as comes with the territory of being a minor physical incarnation of J-pop music fills the air to match her vocalizations.

The Angry Farmer whirls around. J-pop! The tenth worst kind of music in existence! He screams in rage and barrels across the field, right towards Miku, who realizes what's about to happen two seconds two late and is sent careening across the rocky ground by the Angry Farmer's punch, empowered to unbelievably levels by his sheer hatred of everything Miku stands for alone.

Miku slowly skids to a stop. That was not what she thought was going to happen.

OOOOH that's gotta hurt.

Accidentally using your attack boost attack on an enemy and then getting punched in the face for more than twice as much damage as normal as a result?

Honestly that probably hurts more on an emotional level than in terms of the damage she just took, good grief.

Glaring at the continued of the Toaster, I ask for a Camera Filter on the Toaster... Let's see what's going done in its head...

Round 4:
Hatsune Miku struggles to her feet, and as the Angry Farmer charges towards her she brandishes her leeks. That first hit might have hurt, but she has the power of anime and music on her side, she can win this!

The Healing Toaster watches as their new toast buddy charges into combat. They bounce back and forth nervously as they potion the next piece of toast and place it neatly on a plate so that the farmer can eat it when he gets back.
Are they gonna be okay? They seemed to like the toast so the farmer is probably decent, even after the toast ruining in the last fight...

The Angry Farmer rushes forwards with his pitchfork,and Miku catches it on one of her leeks, whipping around with the other in an attempt to catch the farmer in the head with it. The Farmer leaps backwards, then rushes back in with an angercut (like an uppercut but more angry) and reclaims his pitchfork.
Miku sweats with effort, how is he holding his own against her? Well, actually probably because she's not well suited to one on one combat but STILL. He's landing way more hits on her than she is him...
But something's going to break this stalemate soon... It can't go on forever. Fate favors a good fight, and locked blades is hardly that.

Whew, this is tense.

And we've barely even started!

Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all...

We've got the Minion Potato Cop Car arriving as soon as Miku bites it.
