The Author's question from last turn is promptly answered by Xavier.

"Okay, I know why now. This guy is a doorknob."

The Author takes Darkside's command to move the Giant Bow, and...

He moves it, not without a struggle. After applying force (and a torrent of ink), the Author falls over as the Giant Bow moves over to (L-18, L-17, M-18, M-17).

"Bloody hell. That thing is heavy."

The Author thinks about greeting The Operative and Gladius, but then decides against it.

Temcey pulls a Ballista to C17 while he fires the ballista shot at at D12 and I hop to F18 because of the edgy af samurai.

HealerX moves to G16, blasts the door at I15, and dodge-rolls to F14. He then ollies into the Second Floor zone, at the same tile.

How much would cloning the Hard-Light Projector cost? It's for the Caduceus Metalstorm Mythril upgrade.

Hmm...I don't know what to do. I then use the computing board, and plug it into the sniper rifle.

Flumpty, if you're so scared of me as to pretend to be better, why aren't you running is the better question!

The Bird Flipper appears at M13. Its passive is triggered immediately, smacking Grunkfuss for 40 damage (and taking 40 damage). However, it doesn't have a Charge-alike so it's still got summoning sickness and all that jazz...It's just that its 'attack' is passive.

The Bird Flipper;
HP: 820 \ 820; MP: 00 \ 00; Move: 6; Attack: Literally none; Dodge: 0%; 50 HP Regen
Passive: Flipping Out: Anytime an entity enters your ZoC, or you enter their ZoC, immediately take damage proportional to their basic attack, THEN deal it to all in Range 1. 'Counter' damage Capped at (120). Automatically inflicts prone over (60) and has a 20% stun chance over (90). For bosses, this entity takes the highest damage of the highest-damage attack that can be inflicted on Non-Thyme based entities, and does not have auto-prone nor stun chance.
Passive: Screw you. Any time this entity is damaged (other than through Flipping Out), deal the damage taken to all in Range 1. Has the same restrictions as Flipping Out, and the same benefits.
Skill: Acrobatic Pirouettes. Increase Dodge Chance to 50% and move to 9, but disable Flipping Out. Has a cooldown of 3 turns.
Skill: Give it to 'em. Disable Regeneration for 2 turns; for those 2 turns, this entity's Flipping Out passive does not have a cap on damage, and Screw you passive works on Range 5 and does not require LoS to work. Can only be triggered once.

I move to O5 and make Beaver horrifically deud. I retreat to Q3.
Attack Purpleman.
Twice. And fatally. I stay where I am, too. No hit Roxxanne for Master Round?

I go all 'o shit waddup Beavs?' to the Beaver once I slide into the floor and pop up on the Floor tile on O5. I then inquire about his toilet paper stashes, and despite it no longer being halloweener or such, I ask him about costumes. I quickly change all the dates on every calendar everywhere to say it's before Halloweener, including in the Beaver's memories! So, he says he doesn't have one. I do a hyper-shocked gasp at his lazy! Bad lazy! I smack him with a gigantic frying pan! You're a lazy, Beaver! Stop being a lazy THIS INSTANT! I proceed to grab his toilet paper (which doesn't cost his MP because I'm grabbing *actual toilet paper*) and unravel it until it's all over the place, and then spit out sticky glue from my mouth!...Wait, no, that's gross. Bubblegum! Yeah, that's way less gross.

...I just realized how weird these powers get. But anyways! Back to the on-topical thingermabobers. I proceed to wrap up the Beaver the bubblegum toilet paper, wrapping him with the side that has the bubblegum on it because I'm not a complete siwwy. Ta-daaaa! Toilet paper mummy, a classic budget costume! Also, I may have put the bubblegum over his eyes. And nose. And mouth. And bum. He can't see, smell, scream or poop. He gets up because he's officially sick of this costume already, but I just tell him if that he's sick of it, it means that I'mma go and remove it for him! I take the conveniently loose piece of Toilet Paper danging by the front, and pull! It's just like unraveling a string from a ball of yarn-it all comes undone, including the Beaver! All of his bits are stuck on the bubblegum and just get torn off! I proceed to chew more bubblegum, and blow a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig bubble right as I put the toilet paper out in front of my face. As the bubblegum bubble expands and touches the toilet paper, it makes a marvelous transformation into PAC-MAN! A pink bubblegum PAC-MAN because anything else isn't cool enough. He eats the beaver-covered Toilet paper, which makes himself bigger as he magically transforms all of it into magical bubblegum, including the Beaver bits! Eventually there is no more toilet paper or beaver attached to it, just pure sweet bubblegum, and when that's happened, I poke PAC-MAN! He turns into a big jawbreaker and I crunch it to bits in one bite after swallowing it whole. Nom. Best candy evarh. The Beaver blood makes it super-satisfying. This is just an attack as far as everyone is concerned, by the way. I then notice some purple fella in the corner and opt to go meet him, moving to Q3!...I spit out somethin' that was meanin' to get loose, probably related to that far left codewell. Bleh!

There is a moment of awkward silence between me and the Purpleman.

The Purpleman asks me if I just killed Beaver. I say, barring GM fiat, fairly sure! He asks why I'm even here! I say, I'm here because I needed to extract the core and prevent Flumpty from taking more victims to his friendship game-I then also kind of say also because Beaver was a dick. Purpleman ponders this for a moment before kind of...Agreeing but still being angry. Eh, can't blame him, but their sense of friendship is screwed in the head! Oh! Idea~~~ I open up my chest-literally, vertically. I think the Purpleman is visually stunned by my visible infinite supercute and fails to react to the fact that I have just pulled out a massive screwdriver, with a head the size of his body! He continues staring off into nothing as I plonk the Screwdriver right on his head, and doesn't resist as I start smashing his skull in to make an indent for a Phillips.

Once the proper indent is formed in his head, I proceed to unscrew his skull right out of his head! He's still kind of looking funny. I guess unscrewing your skull from your neck probably does that! IN any case, just to make sure the body doesn't go anywhere, I put a giant Phillips Screw out of nowhere and screw it into his neck-hole! It's so heavy that his body can't support the weight and it crumples over! Oh, and it's also really rusty and stuff. He's probably got tetanus. With that done, I proceed to make a tiny basketball court in this tiny room we're in, with a whole 3-on-3 team and everything, entirely out of dolls. Oh, and the Purpleman's head is the ball! Goooooooo, mini-mes! Super Ultra Mega Hyper Special Awesome Sweet Slam Dunkkkkkkkkk!

The Purpleman's head explodes from the awesome of that slam dunk that was just performed.

I then turn to the body. It probably already has like severe tetanus but I don't care! He'll probably still find a way to kill me with just that, by learning how to think without a brain, or something. I proceed to pull out a massive bonesaw! the way the Redman attacks is by shoving his ribcage into your chest, so the only way to make him truly harmless is to cut off his ribs! With a buzzsaw. A really big buzzsaw. I don't know why but it's got Lyra decals on it...Wait, oooooooooooooooooh. I know what this really does.

I proceed to use the buzzsaw to do exactly what I just said I'd do. Cut off his ribs. I then cut off his dick with the buzzsaw, and then shove the buzzsaw into the newfound bloody hole in his netherregions! In doing this, I invoke the curse of turning into Anime Girls (not to be confused with the Anime Girl Plague. That is disgusting on all levels, and should I ever be inflicted with that I pray to all that is holy that my suffering be quick.) to turn the Purpleman into the PurpleAnimeGirl. Painfully. It's also still headless. Better make sure there's no Dullahan shenanigans going on, though-so I pull out my tongue. It's still an adoriboo gummy Snivy! I proceed to turn it into a giant massive supersnivy, and nom the headless PurpleAnimeGirl whole, spitting out something for the Code Wells. Nom. Tasty.

Go, presumed WARE entities who are not aligned in any way whatsoever to Flumpty Bumpty or his friends, deceased or otherwise! Murdificate their skulls because I'm not visible to you right now, and because I'm secretly related to all of you in manners that are impossible for you to comprehend, beyond mere Thyme! :3

The Operative smiles a little when hugged, although he still sort-of moves away when the laser is sent towards him and Chloe, evidently not wanting to be hit by it either. He glares at the house, then glances up at the open window, then over to Chloe, then...

"Chloe, could you do me a favor and pyrokinesis me to F16? I sort of need to get up into that room up there."

Assuming she does that, he then moves to F13, somehow... runs up the wall or something to get to F13 of floor 2 because screw you gravity, then runs to F9 to stand in front of the laser sentry. He then activates Counter, almost daring the laser turret to shoot at him. After all, even if it hits him, he's basically immune to severe damage right now...

The static is building...

Siria rushes back to the MW Anti. She has a mission, and that mission is CLOSE AIR SUPPORT. She quickly evicts all the other players or other beings from the MW Anti, unless they choose to stay, and jacks into the system with the power of CREATIVITY, and also the power of being a distributed nanoswarm-based being that can interface with computers like you can breathe. In other words, she quite literally melts into a pile of glowing grey goo and then flows across the ship's Core, creating aesthetic white glowy circuit-lines over the entire ship for a second. The ship abruptly seemingly engages its gravcore on its own, before... LIFDOFF

A little hastily-made metal sign is left behind at the former site of the MW Anti. It reads "GONE EGG-SCRAMBLING. BE BACK SOON."

The ship races across the sky of the Mindscape, heading to nowhere in particular. Siria suddenly realizes that she has absolutely no idea where to go, and calls Roxxanne on a mindscape phone (which is shaped like a banana, for reasons) for directions.

[Read below post for response before implementing this bit.]

As the directions come in, Siria pilots the ship over to the House of Horrors. Advanced scanners examine the house in minute detail, building a map of the place that is coincidentally exactly the same as the one on the doc. Not that Siria knows that. Man, it is weird to not have a meta-aware character. In any case, she brings the railguns to bear and snipes Blam.

OKAY LETS JUST GET THIS STARTED ALREADY.
WE HAVE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I AM SPEAKING IN CAPS.

ALT SMASHES THE ZONE 3 FOE RUSH ORB IN THE CENTRE OF THE ASCENT. THE ASCENT CAN JUST DEAL WITH IT OKAY.

IF YOU FEEL LIKE STOPPING ME FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST ANYTHING BETTER FOR PEOPLE TO DO.

THIS IS STILL IN CAPS.

There'll be something to do once the MW Anti takes off again.
Ahahahahahahaha.

Haha, no.

I instead attempt to measure how big Nightmare Mountain is.

<TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-THREE>
Insert requests Bill's Cane in the Walkthrough, while the Operative requests the Fahrenheit Amulet. Meanwhile, Shoot walks to the Ascent, and waits. HealerX then determines that getting another Hard-Light-Projector would cost about 2 Gold. Sunny then plugs a computing circuit board into his sniper rifle. This adds +2 Dedotated Wam to your sniper. Crystal then gets into the MW-Anti, and decides to fly it towards Nightmare Mountain.

Meanwhile, at Flumpty Bumpty's House of Terrors, Blam hears the impending airship, and sends out a command.

"Owl! We have a job for you! The girl brought backup, and we need it down. Now."

Something streaks out the front door of the House, and flies out into the skies. Dashing through a pink cloud, instantly obliterating it, the Owl suddenly crashes straight into the MW Anti! This can't be good.

S T R I F E !

Toast then smashes the Foe Rush Orb for Zone 3 in the Ascent. A little tear, leading to another "pocket dimension" appears. It looks like you're in a watery ruin of sorts; the ocean appears to be all around you, but it seems to be held back by some unknown force. There does seem to be little breaches in the force, as water drips from above, creating pools in the ruin.

The ground rumbles as the Destroyer, given life in this dimension, rips through the ground, carrying many a foe with it! It's a foe rush, remember?

S T R I F E !

...given the nature of this battle, you'll need to state where you spawn! This might be tough, but don't forget you can spawn AND act on the same turn!

A bunch of people then walk over to the Ascent. These people are Uroboros, Oriko Alef, Mabuz, Teag, Jon, and Chlorin. Jon then gets an exact measurement of Nightmare Mountain; 2644 meters. It's pretty tall, really. But not too tall.

<BATTLE: FLUMPTY'S SLAMMIN JAM, TURN TWO>
Two new Ware entities. This won't have any paradoxical, lethal-to-everyone effects. Anyway, Blam's fallen through the cracks, whatever that means. Be. Careful.

<BATTLE: THE RUNDOWN HOUSE, TURN TWO>
The fight's going well. Go and cause some structural instability, and the house will take even more bonus damage!

<BATTLE: THE MW ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM, TURN ZERO>
Hoot hoot. I'd suggest using items to hold off the Owl long enough to deliver meaningful fire support towards the Flumpty battle!

<BATTLE: FOE RUSH, TURN ZERO>
Okay, you're dealing with a plethora of deadly foes. The usual rules apply; kill foes to advance to the next wave, and you'll die on Wave 3 because that's a boss wave. Have fun!
