Such embarrassment will take on pure embarrassment, damaging the recipient via how pure such embarrassment is. It is the ultimate price for causing a scene.

It appears the woman in a suit pulled out a large energy shield to cover herself and Paris from harm once again. This time, the look she flashes to Paris is one to encourage her to wait and concentrate on building up forces.

Then he gets up form the blanked, after eating all that stuff he is charged with energy, you can literally see his white aura in this moment as he concentrates his energy.

First of all he flash-steps next to Panacea, his hands are engulfed by a white hard light projection of the same aura that he was emitting a few seconds ago, he starts to attack her with a sequence of incredibly precise and fast attacks using only his right index finger, for some reason these attacks caused absolutely no pain at all and from Panacea point of view it was like he wasn't attacked at all.

Then the next thing Panacea know is that she is suddenly being used as a snowboard by Hezetor on the ice word of Gyumilet, a plane of existence that embodies all that is cold, here Hezetor is apparently competing with a Ancient Ice elemental for the Golden Medal at the Iced Games of the fourteenth ice season.

The two Participants What descend by the high mountain of ice and snow one next to the other, no one has really idea how Hezetor is able to use a living creature as a snowboard, but does so in any case, when there are only 25 meters from the end of the course Hezetor tries a risky move and throws his snowboard/Panacea at the Ice elemental, of course a technique so silly will never lead anywhere in the difficult world of Iced Games, as the elemental relishing his victory Panacea starts to shake uncontrollably her eat grows 3 times bigger than normal as she explodes in a giant show of blood and guts, turns out that Hezetor attacked her in the secret points of pressure that made her explode violently after exactly 5 minutes and 29 seconds.
As the last Ice elemental is out of the game (the rest had even a more horrible fate, these kind of Games are not the most "family-friendly") Hezetor simply walks to the end, after winning his hard earned medal he and what remains of Panacea are back on the battlefield.

Ace realizes from the confused look on Hezetor and Vertex's face that she's lost both of them. She sighs and reaches into the picnic basket pulling put a beer, a tendril of code snakes around its neck and pops off the cap. Ace takes a sip and speaks, "Like alpha as in like beginner level because it is the first lett- nevermind, I suppose I should listen to the Pharaoh and not use terminology that I don't get. What I'm saying is help us takedown Vertex and I can help you get stronger." "Please." She then realizes the threat of Panacea as that is probably going to be very bad for all of them and Ace has no intention of having heals be disrupted by some aggravating cape. She decides to deal with this situation as quickly as possible before this spirals out of control and everyone ends up with lots and lots of deadness. Panacea watches as Ace charges her, tendrils of code unfurling from her cloak and and poised to ready. They reach out and stab straight into Panacea. -0 damage. Wow, that was pathetic, I mean the kid should be strong enough to do a simple attack. Several of the tendrils lash out again, dealing 0 damage, for each strike. Zeros begin to swim around Panacea as Ace continually assaults her wth the code constructs as her sole weapon. More and more zeros continually drift around covering Pancea in them. Then the code tendrils split weaving through the holes in each zero, mummifying Panacea in strings of code.  Ace chuckles faintly at her DOS attack denying Panacea the opportunity to act this turn.

"That's a smart action. In fact, it's such a smart action that I will have to stop limiting myself and convert to damage as I like Panpan enough to let her act."#

"Thanks."
Panacea's action is severely harmed, but not fully stopped, and she takes 1,300 damage.

Vertex doesn't know what an eat as a noun is, but Panacea takes 5,000 damage.

---

The Terror Starwalker steps forward, before rushing towards Panacea, running into her for 1,500 damage. Panacea instinctively reaches out to grab it, because after all, this demented version of Panacea and her Quest aren't exactly great at social conventions. Vertex can cover for her, anyway. Panacea causes the Terror Starwalker to begin growing a pool, a garden, of flesh sprawled out across dimensions on its legs. It is now only normally Evasive.

The Omega Kiwi floats forward and cuts at her, dealing 2,000 damage before stealing the Skitter charge. All of it. Skitter, as a note, creates a plague that continually damages a single target's stats.

Panacea is quite obviously offended by this. She and Vertex are also both offended by Hezetor siding with Paris. Guess who is about to experience a horrible torture? Whilst Panacea is still crippled, this doesn't stop her from creating a spine in her hands, draining biomatter from the ground, and throwing it at Hezetor. It hits, plunging straight through his back and dealing 0 damage, before awe hits. Awe, glory, love, obsession, you name it. Hezetor has gained an Awe Counter, which devastates his attack, and if it gets to 3, screws with his action. Paris isn't happy with this, but can't figure out a way to fix it as of yet.

Paris +1s Engie and the Omega Kiwi, before staring at Panacea. Somebody's messed up. A golden rod tendril reaches out towards her, before flowing through Panacea, dealing a type of damage that Paris doesn't fully understand. 5,000 damage.

Vertex isn't particularly happy with what you've done to Panacea, and fills her charges, before healing her for 7,500 HP. They're quite good friends. She then flashsteps, a wave of daggers destroying any of what remains of Hezetor's picnic and the Barrier around Paris, and deals 10 damage to Engie, before she hits Hezetor with a wave of Awe, increasing the Awe Counter by 1.

Ace decides that in some drastic times call for drastic measures and she decides to use some magic as she doubts code will cut it this time. Ace channels energy into herself, powerful old school ethereal energy. It radiates around Ace in an orchid glow giving Ace a sense of power she usually doesn't have. She looks as it contours to her body creating a magical aura. Ace begins to shape it, at first creating small fluctuations which cause minor ripples. She then tries to make a shape contorting the magic into focal point creating a small spike of the orchid aura. It drifts about around Ace as she creates several more of the thin, long spikes having them be extruded easily now that Ace learned how to do it she begins clustering them together and adjusting their height, creating a small pyramidal shape. Several shapes start emerging from Ace's aura as she now understands how to manipulate it. She thinks of sending a bit of it into the ground and it does so creating a small burst of energy.

Ace then focuses on her target Panacea, she decides to stop showing off and absorb the energy into herself. She then sends a thin spike of the ethereal energy slamming into Panacea and impaling her. She then has it branch out within Panacea causing more spikes of energy to jut out into the innards of the Parahuman ripping rather painful looking wounds open as the spikes jut out of the body. She seems a bit disgusted from creating such an attack and withdraws the energy back. She then sends several orbs of the orchid energy slamming into Panacea knocking her backward straight into a rising orchid pillar. She then proceeds to detonate the pillar sending Panacea flying back into the PZ side of the field and landing with a painful thud.

I grab the +1 from Sp33d0n and return the favor, again.

Jest proceeds to do a little jig before taking a spoon, fork and knife. He readied a plate, too, and ties a handkerchief around his neck. He carefully washes his hand and the silverware and neatly polishes the plate. He sprays it with something smelling awfully like sour lemons. You can't have a dinner without snacks, right? Jest readies the little buns, three with sesame seeds, four with a garlic-y aroma and one möbius breadsticks. He only needs one, as it is in fact endless. An assortment of fancy foul-smelling French f!cking cheeses are put on a small set of platters shaped like a bunk bed, so the smelliest cheeses are at the top.
Obviously every dinner has a main course, and that will come too, but for now we need something that isn't a snack but also isn't the main course, either. Jest drives to the local McDonalds. Let's see if I can remember this...

"I'd like two number nines!"
"A number nine large!"
"A number six with extra dip!"
"A number seven!"
"Two number forty fives!"
"One with cheese!"
"And a large Soda!"

McDonalds claims that they don't even have number 45s, and Jest ends up ordering a Big Mac with fries instead, that he devours on the way back.
Mmmm... delicious. But we need to get to the main course here. Or at least inch slightly closer to it since I'm a sucker for useless exposition.
Next up we need the drinks. Jest can get that from CostCo no problem. Thing is, I'm pretty sure CostCo is only an American thing, and I've never even been there since, as you know, I'm not American. But for the sake of this useless post, we'll plop down a CostCo in the middle of the Battlefield and give Jest a CostCo membership. Jest obviously buys the bulkiest item there which is a 500 liter barrel of wine that I won't even be able to drink in real life being a minor and all (and besides knowing me I most likely won't drink even if I do reach the age of consent) However, if I can't drink that doesn't mean Jest can't, I guess. Since it is CostCo the price is hella cheap, something like ten bucks (it is a 500 liter barrel after all) Jest buys it and proceeds to get ultra drunk.

"Not as good as thyme, but I like it! I want more!"

That's not a good thing, Jest. Calm down.
But seriously, I think it's time to begin the main course.
Jest walks up to Pancea and eats the last digit off of her HP. Yeah. That just happened.

"Drat. I was relying on that barrier holding for longer than that."

The woman in a suit sighs, idly pulling a small medikit out of her suit pocket and opening it up. Bandages, syringes, a few scissors, smaller bandaids, there's a LOT of various medical items in that one medikit. Slowly, she searches through for a moment, then grabs out some of the bandages and a syringe, taking a look at the physical injuries she sustained from Vertex. Stabbing the syringe into the most severely wounded part of her body and injecting the fluid into her body, she begins unwinding a specific length of bandage, wrapping it tightly around the wound, making sure to clear it of the syringe first. Gradually, once she's bound her injuries tightly with the bandage and has injected herself with the syringe's contents, she pulls out the scissors and cuts the main length of bandage off, returning the excess to her medikit.

"That plan should do for now."

Then, she sighs again, noticing that Vertex's high damage risks leaving Paris exposed if the entities drop. As such, she decides to take out a spare roll of what appears to be something akin to tinfoil, only much thicker. More like steel plating armor in convenient form. Then, she heads over to the Terror Starwalker and Omega Kiwi, beginning to wrap the armor around each of them in turn, being careful to avoid accidentally stifling their mobility. The foil, while not the strongest armor ever, should serve as a nice enough security measure to ensure they're not wiped out immediately.

Ace finds that with the Despair and Blindness Panace has it would be good to once more guarantee that Panacea won't be able to do any harm. Ace holds her palm up to Panace before she can do anything. Ace speaks,

"What do you think you're doing? Have you filed the proper paperwork.?"

She hands the first of many packets and a pen to Panacea.

"Fill this out and we'll talk."

She then leaves the hapless Cape to fill out the paperwork. It feels like an eternity passes as she begins filling out the tedious packet. Signing on the line were needed, answer this question, profession? Cape. Are you a male or female? Female. What is your insurance? It's- Blah blah blah. What do these questions have to do with fighting? She eventually comes across some more relevant sections and filled out her stats. It drags out painfully, agonizing moment after moment. There was time when her hand cramped and her eyes got sore from reading the pages and pages of painfully small bland text. which was all in legalese. Eventually, by some deity smiling upon her she manages to find her way to the end. She turns the packet into Ace and turns to walk off.

"Wait, I see you wrote her that you have a non-standard gimmick, involving... Awe stacks, is this correct?"

Panacea nods.

"There's another packet I need you to fill out before you can act."

Ace hands her another packet, the unfortunate Parahuman stands and grips the pen and walks off. She sits down and reads the beginning of the packet. She realizes from the opening text that this is pretty much the same packet though the words have changed slightly to that it doesn't matter. She flips through it, well, she doesn't have to read through it again at least. She fills out the packet quicker even though the tedium is irritating and tiresome. She fills the same questions in, the same places she signed her name last time and breezed past and text.

She hands the packet to Ace and prepares attack for the ETOB.

"Oh, thanks by the way, just chill out here with me."

Panacea stares at Ace incredulously.

"What, you signed the packet, you aren't acting this turn. Page 42, clause B"

Panacea flipped to the page and read through it: "Clause B: All entities which sign this packet are not allowed to act the turn of signing"

Panacea slumps next to Ace.

Let's see if I can remember this... "I'd like two number nines!" "A number nine large!" "A number six with extra dip!" "A number seven!" "Two number forty fives!" "One with cheese!" "And a large Soda!" McDonalds claims that they don't even have number 45s, and Jest ends up ordering a Big Mac with fries instead, that he devours on the way back. Mmmm... delicious. But we need to get to the main course here. Or at least inch slightly closer to it since I'm a sucker for useless exposition. Next up we need the drinks. Jest can get that from CostCo no problem. Thing is, I'm pretty sure CostCo is only an American thing, and I've never even been there since, as you know, I'm not American. But for the sake of this useless post, we'll plop down a CostCo in the middle of the Battlefield and give Jest a CostCo membership. Jest obviously buys the bulkiest item there which is a 500 liter barrel of wine that I won't even be able to drink in real life being a minor and all (and besides knowing me I most likely won't drink even if I do reach the age of consent) However, if I can't drink that doesn't mean Jest can't, I guess. Since it is CostCo the price is hella cheap, something like ten bucks (it is a 500 liter barrel after all) Jest buys it and proceeds to get ultra drunk. "Not as good as thyme, but I like it! I want more!" That's not a good thing, Jest. Calm down. But seriously, I think it's time to begin the main course. Jest walks up to Pancea and eats the last digit off of her HP. Yeah. That just happened. IT'S FUCKING RAW!!!: 7/10 (+1 from Sp33d0n) IT'S FUCKING RAWER!!!: 4/25 +1 to Sp33d and Jon.

I don't know how CostCo works either. Regardless, you eat a digit off of Panacea's health. She now has 1,810 HP. She's not happy with this, as is Vertex.

"Drat. I was relying on that barrier holding for longer than that." The woman in a suit sighs, idly pulling a small medikit out of her suit pocket and opening it up. Bandages, syringes, a few scissors, smaller bandaids, there's a LOT of various medical items in that one medikit. Slowly, she searches through for a moment, then grabs out some of the bandages and a syringe, taking a look at the physical injuries she sustained from Vertex. Stabbing the syringe into the most severely wounded part of her body and injecting the fluid into her body, she begins unwinding a specific length of bandage, wrapping it tightly around the wound, making sure to clear it of the syringe first. Gradually, once she's bound her injuries tightly with the bandage and has injected herself with the syringe's contents, she pulls out the scissors and cuts the main length of bandage off, returning the excess to her medikit. "That plan should do for now." Then, she sighs again, noticing that Vertex's high damage risks leaving Paris exposed if the entities drop. As such, she decides to take out a spare roll of what appears to be something akin to tinfoil, only much thicker. More like steel plating armor in convenient form. Then, she heads over to the Terror Starwalker and Omega Kiwi, beginning to wrap the armor around each of them in turn, being careful to avoid accidentally stifling their mobility. The foil, while not the strongest armor ever, should serve as a nice enough security measure to ensure they're not wiped out immediately. Charge - Bodyguard [4/5] (+1 from Paris) Charge (Artifact?) - The Slap Stick [2/5]

You heal for 4 HP! The Terror Starwalker and Omega Kiwi gain a stack of Defense!

The Author cautiously turns his hand towards the Woman in a Suit. Ink is drawn out, and transferred to the woman, stitching together her worst wounds. How do you feel now? Any better? The Author ensures that the Ink has a painkiller effect to make sure that it the Woman in a Suit is okay. After ensuring the safety of his ally, he begins pacing, thinking about something. The Author creates an Ink Spectre, probably to help him think, though he could be using it for another reason too. ACTION SUMMARY: The Author assists the Suited Woman in her attempts to not die.

Ace finds that with the Despair and Blindness Panace has it would be good to once more guarantee that Panacea won't be able to do any harm. Ace holds her palm up to Panace before she can do anything. Ace speaks, "What do you think you're doing? Have you filed the proper paperwork.?" She hands the first of many packets and a pen to Panacea. "Fill this out and we'll talk." She then leaves the hapless Cape to fill out the paperwork.  It feels like an eternity passes as she begins filling out the tedious packet. Signing on the line were needed, answer this question, profession? Cape. Are you a male or female? Female. What is your insurance? It's- Blah blah blah. What do these questions have to do with fighting? She eventually comes across some more relevant sections and filled out her stats.  It drags out painfully, agonizing moment after moment. There was time when her hand cramped and her eyes got sore from reading the pages and pages of painfully small bland text. which was all in legalese. Eventually, by some deity smiling upon her she manages to find her way to the end. She turns the packet into Ace and turns to walk off. "Wait, I see you wrote her that you have a non-standard gimmick, involving... Awe stacks, is this correct?" Panacea nods. "There's another packet I need you to fill out before you can act." Ace hands her another packet, the unfortunate Parahuman stands and grips the pen and walks off. She sits down and reads the beginning of the packet. She realizes from the opening text that this is pretty much the same packet though the words have changed slightly to that it doesn't matter. She flips through it, well, she doesn't have to read through it again at least. She fills out the packet quicker even though the tedium is irritating and tiresome. She fills the same questions in, the same places she signed her name last time and breezed past and text. She hands the packet to Ace and prepares attack for the ETOB. "Oh, thanks by the way, just chill out here with me." Panacea stares at Ace incredulously. "What, you signed the packet, you aren't acting this turn. Page 42, clause B" Panacea flipped to the page and read through it: "Clause B: All entities which sign this packet are not allowed to act the turn of signing" Panacea slumps next to Ace. Starter Pack Armor 18/25 (+1 fro Speedon) A way to cure Hezetor 6/6 (+1 by Speedon) Ace looks at Hezetor's stacks of awe and pulls a pencil out of her hat. She erases the 2 and replaces it with a zero. The stacks vanish from Hezetor, no stacks no problem. +2 to Speedy

Panpan stares at you, and stares at the paperwork, and stabs her eyes out with a pen. Vertex is sad, and immediately heals her eyes before Panacea grabs you and something happens, well, is about to happen. She then hops through a portal. With Panacea's death, Paris takes the opportunity to run forward, bringing you all forward by 3%.

You can't shoot a dead girl.

Hezetor starts to be sick of the foolishness of Panacea so he punches her. In the face. Wow Creativity is not a thing I really have. 7/10 7/20 +2 from Revan +2 Revan

You can't punch one, either.

As you and Paris progress forward, the plains shift, becoming a mixture of stones, and the superhard obsidian glass found in Minecraft. In the distance, you find a spire reaching up towards the sky, abyssal energy cracking in it. Arcs of energy float around it, and Paris seems somewhat on guard. The Terror Starwalker and Omega Kiwi take a break, before Paris uses this chance to run another 2% forward. You have one guess where the first boss battle takes place. If you guess and fail, Vertex will instantly kill you for being an idiot.

Speaking about Vertex, she's laying next to the obsidian spire, with her hands out.

"Why wasn't I expecting her to put something to stop me here?" Paris asks, stopping to stare at the spire.

"Because you're an idiot. Why are you even trying to get to that portal, anyway, Paris? Ah, wait, don't answer that question just yet!" Vertex says, doing a little hop, before the darkness grows bigger. Out pops a standard Terror wave. What an awfully unique set of enemies.

Terrain: Obsidian Plains: ???.
Field Effects: None.
Thought of the Day: When you get to the boss area, you will have a single turn to prepare, similarly to Gatekeepers. Basically every boss will be like Gatekeepers here, only less OP, able to occur at effectively any time, and actually able to push you back.

Ace decides that now is the time to make sure that everything doesn't die horribly. Ace pulls out of her hat a thick looking rubber bundle and a pump. She unfurls the bundle in front of Paris and begins pumping. A thick rubber wall filled with air erects itself in between Parris (and friends) and Vertex (and friends). The thing is rather solid even though it was pumped full of air, it appears that attacks will just bounce off of it.

Jest is planning something. Something big. Hehehe...
Also, I'm gonna try to do two posts per round now.

Huh...? What's this...? Looks like my "plans" will have to be postponed.
IT'S FUCKING RAW!!!: 10/10 [+2 from Sp33d0n]
Oh, that's just wonderful~!
Looks like we're gonna do something really fucking RAW here.
Jest fishes out some bass. He grabs it and yells the following.

"THE FUCKING BASS IS FUCKING RAW!!!"

Yes, actual quote.
He then slams the bass on the ground.

"I DROPPED THE BASS MOTHERFUCKERS!"

That just happened.
The bass has been dropped, and the Deudly Chiptune has been sang.
Upon hearing the chiptune being sang without him, Cookiefonster rushes to the field.
Yes, I'm using Cookie as an actual summon.
Yes, I do know him.
And yes, we're friends. Sorta. I guess.
That doesn't matter, though, cause COOKIEFONSTER IS SUMMONED! (I guess)

As for my attack, who needs waiting for the next enemy? Not Jest!
Jest sees that alchemy isn't a thing here, so he obviously has to find another way to get a good weapon.

"Hmmm... this will do juuuuust fine!"
"ENOUGH POWER TO TEAR THE VERY FLESH OFF OF YOU FOOLISH MORTALS."
"Yaaaaaaaaaaay!"

This guy has some serious issues.
Anyways, the weapon he's referring to is the newly alche- uhh... I mean, newly created Pogomatic 9001.
It's a Pogo Stick with a Pogo Cannon at the top, which uses the whole Pogo system to shoot tiny little sharp Pogo Darts, which pierce through the skin of anyone and everyone.
Jest, being a maniac, obviously poisons the darts. Nice.
He rides the Pogomatic 9001 all the way to Mr. Skeltal, and pierces their skin. But the big reveal is that the bottom of the Pogomatic 9001 is extremely sharp, so Jest stomps Skeltal with the Pogomatic, thus slicin' and dicin' them away.
Jest, seeing that this obviously isn't enough to destroy them, decides to step his game up a notch.
He literally takes Notch, the creator of Minecraft, and sends him a flyin' all the way to Mr. Skeltal.
Jest obviously throws him carefully, making sure that his skull bashes against Skeltal, and when his brain fluids spill all over it, Skeltal should be Minecraft-ified and become a pair of blocks.

Jest realizes that it's sorta lonely being a maniac.
Sure, he's part of the ES with almost everyone else, but he doesn't have a lot of alliences.
Jest walks up to the person he talked to the most here, and who he's been trading charges with for a while.
Yeah, Jest basically plops himself next to the Author.
The Author appears to be freaking out here, as the resident thyme addict and maniac is standing right next to him.
However, Jest tries to tell him he means no harm.

"Oh, hey Auth! How are you at this time of day? I'm fine! Thanks for asking! I'm Jest, by the way!"

Jest spontaneously reaches out his hand to Auth.
Auth hesitantly shakes it, probably thinking about how to get rid of this... creature.

"I was thinking it's time for a coalition!"
"After all..."
"WE CAN'T GO KILLING PEOPLE ALONE, CAN WE?"

Auth ogles Jest, jaw dropped down. How crazy is this guy?

"Anyways, here's my offer, buddy! Let's work together! To destroy people!"

Sp33d0n, I think an alliance is in order, what do you think, eh?
We don't have to always work together, it's just that - the more the merrier.

IT'S FUCKING RAWER!!!: 6/25 (+1 from the HalfDop)

Ace pulls a revolver out of her coat and loads it with a rather unique bullet. A green bullet. Ace takes aim and fires it into Mr. Skeltal's spinal column. It lodges itself in the bone and does very little structural damage to Mr. Skeltal. The Sketelon laughs at Ace with a raspy clatter of bone. Then something sprouts from the bullet, something alive. It wraps around the dead spinal column and gains nutrients from it. Mr. Skeltal grows weaker and feels his calcium loving bones sapped of their strength by this floral fiend. The vines wraps even tighter causing a faint snap breaking the Skeleton's spine. The vine climbs its way up the ribcage and the neck and settles in Mr, Skeltal's head. Leaves poke out the Skeleton's body and its spine more resembles a vineyard than anything. It slowly breaks down Mr. Skeltal's bones to allow itself to overtake the Skeleton and grow. The Sketelon opens its mouth. A flower blooms within the teeth. Vines cover up bone as more flowers grow and the plant begins tightening crushing the bone into fragments. Mr. Skeltal becomes a flower bed.
