The Blue Brigadier's left hand rests there motionlessly, just like the rest of him. On the literal other hand, a light on the wrist controller glows dimly. A small arm extends out of it and starts poking the alien. The glowing light slowly begins to flicker. (Revive 1/2)
Despara speaks a shield of rejuvenation mantras into form and provides it to Pweron Dum. A cute heart-decal buckler that provides regeneration status! It's probably more healing than it is defense to be honest, but it should provide some inherent self-healing while we wait for others to provide heavier defense.
A hole opens up, as a hand burst out of and claws away at the hole's opening it came out.
I pull myself from said hole and starts shouting about how I'm ALIVE! only to notice that I'm in the wrong dimension and start cussing about hiatus and glorious comebacks before settling to use my action this turn.
Sticking with my previous theme, I take a slingshot and started modifying it to be serviceable to turn moon rocks into full-sized moons when shot from it.
True Neo, having used Shotgoanna's ammo for this turn, suddenly has an idea. He suddenly prints out a note summarizing the current battle scenario, but the sum up is that Thanos just left to grab the power stone, and he wants something that can't backfire on the Descendants, while still being useful, in trade. He then throws this, and the Shotgoanna, into the safe, and sees what he will get.

Charged: 22/50
The wrist controller's poking arm begins to poke faster. The light enters a rapid pattern of flashes. A single beat is heard from the alien's heart. Everything stops. The Blue Brigadier takes a deep breath and sits up. He looks around in sheer terror. His head twists from left to right, left to right. He takes another breath and starts to calm. Finally, he turns his head down to his wrist controller and stares disappointedly at it. "Come on me. I had one job. Keep the time stone. Then what do I do? I lose it!" He continues to ramble on, obviously feeling better by the second. (Revive 2/2)
I spend a causal 200$ Priceytag dollars to summon something else cause TOG is a meanie. How do I spend it? Well, buy a grappling hook, and hook the Glaive in Glaive guy's hands. I then rip it out of his hands, and into mine. I then snap it over my knee, and use the splinters, purchasing a splinter duplicator, which I use to duplicate the splinters. Once I have enough splinters, I assumble a mech suit out of them.
Chair Mech stats: High regen, defends me, double action, has three arms (missile, sword, drill). Has a special which deals incredibly high damage, and light damage to the rest the enemy's side
I then set the lab's max at 500,000 hp. I then throw 50 more dollars at it, upgrading it even more, and adding snowball facilities, which will produce snowflake cannons.
Actors: Focus down the main damage dealers on the PT side. Especially Glaive.
You nab and shatter the Glaive (much to Glaive's shock), using a splinter duplicator to provide the resources to craft your Corvus Chairobot. You then create the Corvus Chairobot.
Lab max set, and 50 CP's worth of dollars of funding given.
After a Brief Headache I after questioning what just happened I get to work
Side Thanos Getting to Business I command the A and B list actors to attack Proxima Midnight, and then I help out the Extras in Lab construction using the Space stone.
Side Maniac Right I get to work to....Wait why was I here again? Eh whatever, I'll just offer some of the Employees some Candy Corn Liquor to boost their imaginations, as it did wonders for a friend of mine.
I ninja Thanos on the whole snap thing by snapping the various molecular bonds of Corvus Glaive, causing them to partially disintegrate and take damage in the process.

Fire Elementals, Actors of all kinds, please attack Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive. Thanks!

Meanwhile, I pull out a dozen different old-timey fancy clock hands and spin them around in my dozen hands that I've totally always had --
What?
Yes, I did have them! You just didn't notice.
Anyways, I spin around all the clock hands until they hit a point straight-up. Midnight.
What?
Well, it's not like I can wield two hands in one hand to set up clock faces. How weird would that be?
So I take the Midnight Clockhands and stab Proxima Midnight with them.
Oh, and I stole all of them from some clocks in some green mansion. It didn't look very well-maintained. The clocks were all rusty. I hope Proxima Midnight had her tetanus shots!

[JOEbob] Cake Guys Cake, having received an independant action pool, sighs in relief. He uses his newly regained powers to float over to the Reality Elemental and offers it some Cake energy (As we know from the original The Cake statline, Cakes are very important to reality and thus synchronize with it rather well). He suggests it join his side, where anything... sigh... cakelike... can thrive.

Neo pulls out his sword and begins rushing all around Proxima Midnight, slashing at her at random points as he circles. He then pulls out a blaster, and begins letting her have to try dealing with a beam spam barrage. Then, he just lifts up the Shotgoanna, and shoots her again. Hopefully that should finish off any hp.
(If she has died already, replace indicators of her with Corvus Glaive within this action. If both are dead, then I guess he just went way too all out on the square elementals.)

The Corvus Glaive was already chopped up, but you chop up Corvus Glaive just fine. 40,000 damage.
Thanos Returns.
Using the Reality Gem, he instantly transforms Flaming Mageye's Eye into a small thermonuclear device. It explodes, instantly killing him and severely damaging the the Corvus Chairbot.
He grabs the Soul Gem.
"This Gem shall be key. Irregardless of the final plan, there will be death. Painless death, but death nonetheless. With this stone, I will allow those who die to live on. An ending of consciousness is the truest tragedy. I refuse to allow it."
Using the Time Gem, he freezes The Cake for the round, making it unable to act or charge.
Using the Mind Gem, Thanos summons a Greater Mind Elemental.
Using the Soul Gem, Thanos reconjures Proxima Midnight's consciousness. She will inhabit the first body provided to her.
With his final action, Thanos catches the Fire Elementals in his hand. They heat up his Gauntlet slightly...
Corvus Glaive grabs the Priceytag. He burns several hundred dollars to hire some mercenaries. Oh no.
The Medium Square Elemental bodyguards Thanos with its flat side.
The Lesser Square Elementals bodyguard Corvus Glaive.
The mercenaries form ranks. Garbage ranks, granted, but ranks nonetheless. Speaking of ranks, Corvus Glaive has granted himself the rank of New High Priest of Thanos.
Proxima Midnight possesses an elite mercenary. Awkward.
The Great Mind Elemental infects an elite mercenary.
The SAFE spits out another request: "Hey, some exotic cheese would be nice. Will provide old armor pieces in exchange. New uniforms have rendered them obsolete, aye?"
The other two remain:
"Hey man, I need a gun real quick. NO SHOTGUNS OR ROCKETS. Will exchange a Maliwan SMG of your Element of choice."
"Money. Will give food."
Feel free to attempt to answer one or all of those requests.
The Fire Elementals struggle against their captor, but are powerless to escape.
The A-list Actors and B-list Actors, unable to do anything else, attack the enemy elementals, killing most of them. The Extras' minor support allows them to finish them all off.
The Lab, now fully built, is ready to roll.
Pweron Dum nervously looks around the battlefield: "...Alright, this may look bad but... okay, so this is pretty bad. Two bosses on the field means that if they die, we get seriously GORILLA'd. Don't let that happen, no matter what. We're already going to have a hard time defeating these new foes without loosing half our forces to unbalanced mechanics."

Thanos Skeledop
How To Play:
Thanos is seeking the Infinity Gems. He has all of them on this battlefield, and there's no getting away from them. You are the only people between him and his goals.
Keep the Infinity Gems from Thanos. They will be strong, but you'll have to use them wisely.
Thanos has multiple actions. Six in total. This means that given the chance, he will use multiple gems each round.
Players can only hold one Infinity Gem at a time. They are also only able to be used once per round.
You're also dealing with the Black Order. They each have their little gimmicks, but Thanos is the main threat.
Beware of his durability. 15 AC means you're losing 15,000 damage on your attacks, and entities are losing 75,000 damage on theirs every time they hit him.
Disarming Thanos of the Infinity Gauntlet is impossible. However, the gems can be pried off. Doing so is difficult, but doable.
You don't have your artifacts on your person right now. However, you are starting with 10/50 charge, and your regular damage cap has been raised to 50,000. Take advantage of group charging mechanics to make things.
You cannot take the Infinity Gems out the current battlefield. If you want an in-battle reason, it's that Thanos has messed with Space so that you're all stuck there with him. As a result, you have to make it so that he's stuck there with you.
You may attempt to justify respawn time being shorter using an Infinity Gem action. Because otherwise this'd be a pain.
Ask the NON SELF INSERT OF THE ARBITER for advice.
[Cake Guy]
He gaspe! Thanos is back-left-forwards! but... he Bodyguarded! by a merchant nanny! HMmmmmm...
Well, merchant nannys can't be everywhere! Cake guy controls some of the many cakes littering the battlefield- specifically, those which do not have any merchants or mercanaries between them and thanos- and launches them at Thanos at a high speed! said launched cakes are also spinning, which means - given the level of staleness some of them have reached- it's as deadly as being hit by a buzzsaw! Ha-HA! CAKE WUIL TRIJUMPHFH!
[Cake Guy's CaJOEbob]
First off, I float over to Thanos- having a conversation across a battlefield is likely unpleasant. As well, I make sure that, if there are cakes stuck to his ears, i vibrate them when i talk so the sound goes through. "Greetings, Thanos. I see you have returned at speed, but this begs the question: how much time did you spend in the past? did you make sure to look for alternative methods of saving the multiverse, taking into account descended? If you didn't, I will of course gladly allow you to leave again- though I'd prefer you bring me with you this time, so I can help."
As I say this, and wait for Thanos' response, I sense the area. I abhor the theme-limitations inherent in my being a Cake, but for the time being, I shall abide. On that note, I notice there's a lot of microscopic bits of cake floating in the air because of all this confectionary-controlling combat. So, while I am able to only really use cakes... nothings stopping me from controlling the flow of the air with them. Or its temperature. As I talked to Thanos, I prepared my grip on the Cake particles in the air around the fire elementals- and within the fire elementals, as well.
If Thanos returns to the past, so much the better. If he does not, however... I seize hold of the cake particles, and vibrate them. Those in the elementals vibrate at immense speeds, beginning to resemble solar plasma. This allows the Fire Elementals he is holding to rapidly grow in heat and size. Furthermore, the Air begins to rush towards them, spurred by cakebits, which is another fuel source for a flame. Through no direct action of my own- for I can mostly only control cakes, at the moment- Thanos is now holding a violently expanding sphere of superheated gasses and other types of fire.

I tell the Elite Mercenary that if he joins my service and helps us defeat Thanos, I'll give him as much gold or other precious materials as he could desire, plus the opportunity to travel the universe, meet all kinds of fascinating life, and kill it in my service.
I also mention that Thanos intends to kill half the universe, so even if Thanos had all the Infinity Stones right now, the Elite Mercenary would have at best a 50% chance of survival. With Players in the mix, that drops to 0%. But if he joins us, the odds go up. 90% or better, given Thanos's current HP.
I finally say that the Elite Mercenary has one chance since this is a time-sensitive offer.
I spawn a variant of Jessica and Okarun's context-sensitive self-enchanting brass knuckles, then make them into an ammo-making sniper pistol with the same functionality and fill that gun request if it's still in place, including adding some starter pack ammo for tax purposes. Relatedly, apologize for the delay, and add a note detailing how the item works (essentially, just keep firing and as long as you're in combat it'll buff the gun adapting to what kind of problem the enemy is) requesting Slag weapon variants and Corrosive if slag-type is unfeasible: preferably not incendiary if at all possible. wait no saving that for later
I attempt to pull Thanos out of a hat, kidnapping one of their bodyguards instead! The bodyguard is then attacked by rabbits, saws, bats, flight attendants, fabric, and the various other things you can find in a hat, but the point is they're out of the way and can't easily jump to Thanos' defense.
Unable to directly say words, the Loony continues to spout sounds that sound like words but really isn't... Urg, I'm straining my mind trying to make sense of myself but the basic gist is that the now resident Loony is some sort of Lunar Lord, and somehow a Canadian(Did those Canadians colonized a moon in this dimension?), thus always has a few pieces of local moons.
While I'd like to say I'm a Lunar Lord, my new title simply puts my position into question (At least it works with him being one of those maple leaves.). At least I have a couple of Moonchunks in my sampling bag...

I ask the Fire Elementals to start heating the metal around the Infinity Gem housing in the Gauntlet and make it more likely that gems will fall out.
~~~~~~~
[If the Elite Mercenary has defected, aim this at Thanos!]
I pull out a Sniper Gatling Automatic Rifle and start taking shots at the mercenary which is bodyguarding Thanos, aiming center mass but also definitely at his head. Yes, I'm going for the head.
The sniper shots keep coming thick and fast (that's where the Gatling bit comes in), and the mercenary is actually having to block some of them rather than auto-parry. That means he doesn't notice when I sneak up behind him and slit his throat.
What? Oh, you think the Rifle should have stopped firing. Well, I did say it was Automatic. It wasn't even fine print!
The Loony continues to fiddle around with his multiple pouches and takes out some cheese.
Huh, seems like he noticed that TSIEN (Transdimensional Safe-based Item Exchange Network) and start throwing the cheese into it to fulfill the request.
Now that I take a closer look at it... That cheese looks like the Cheese De La Lune. Don't know why it has French and English words in it name, but I think that's rather exotic enough. Also gives a bit of weight into being a Lunar lord of sort, maybe. That cheese awfully looks like Lunatic Cheese... Well, either way, they both should be exotic enough for the request.
11/11: New Guy On The Block.
Yes, I'm using it already.
A masked, male kitsune appears on the battlefield. "A Maliwan SMG? That's my JAM!" he confidently says, before pulling a Purple-Rarity Bandit-Crafted Heady Snider, setting it into the SAFE, and tossing a note into the thing beside it. "I'll take it Slagged, honey. This bad boy should have plenty of stopping power for you, now give me my elemental debuff! And it better be Purple or Orange. Or their equivalent in E-Tech. Just don't gyp me, or I will hunt you down, kill you, loot your corpse, and sell all you had.
Love, Kitsugare."
Yup, life on the borderlands was good.
Wait.
What was this place?
Thanos? Oh no. Time to get shooty...
(The charges are being thrown at the SAFE trade, to get good money no whammies out of it.)
EDIT: After looking at the rules of the SAFE, he then throws a few White pistols and Assault Rifles in there, too. Death and Taxes, horrible, unavoidable things. Well, he had dodged Death a few times now, but Taxes? He was STILL paying off the IDIRS.

[Cake Guy]
He turns back towards the Cake, and sees a big mech! Such glory! he quickly helps put The Cake into the Chairmech's cockpit, using his control over Cakes to control the space the cake is in to let it fit. this is probably a worthy vessel for The Cake.
[Entity Suggestions: The Cake kills thanos if it thinks it can, or else tries to get the Priceytag to buy icing from the SAFE, or else shovels cheesecakes into the SAFE for the old armour pieces i guess
cake doesn't have much choice with piloting the mecha yet either so just do whatever.
Reality Elemental, can it try to bend reality to help with theft of the Priceytag?]
[CakJOEbob!]
It has already been summarily proven that, While the mercenaries are powerful, their protections simply cannot stand up to reality warping. A human can be skilled. Incredibly skilled. Perfect in their field, even! But that doesn't mean there's anything they can do against a Cake. Not that it even matters, really! Proxima Midnights host may have been an elite mercenary, once, but all that 'elite' nature? That comes from skill. Skill Proxima Midnight doesn't have. Proxima Midnight is skilled, I'm sure, at combat. but that skill comes in a body smaller, or perhaps larger, a body of another race, a body with superhuman speed and endurance. When Midnight weighs the options, they expect to move thrice their speed, at least. This leads to mistakes. When Midnight acts, they expect to last for likely hours. with the Strain they will need to put themselves under to have a hope, they will last minutes. and that's ignoring the differences in nerves, morphology, muscle configuration... Midnight may near a sizeable fraction of their skill in a few hours of practice, but they have no hours.
They have moments. Perhaps- Perhaps! - a minute, if they're lucky.
And true luck will hurt both sides in either measure.
Cakes rise from the ground, reconfigure into a tiered cake, and then spear towards Corvus Glaive from all directions. Proxima midnight is forced to chose one to stop first. As their choice becomes clear, the cake they planned to stop bubbles midflight, and splits in two. Though they cannot see it, the others remain unsplit. Proxima must again choose. and whatever their choice, the chosen spear-cake bubbles and splits again. And then Proxima Midnight realizes their mistake, when the cake they tried to block flies up and over them, into the air. They cannot jump so high, in this body they've borrowed. And so the Cakespikes stab into Corvus Glaive as Proxima Midnight tries helplessly to defend him,and as Corvus falls to the ground, unable to survive the injuries as the cakes split up within him and continue to ravage his body, Proxima Midnight is too shocked, too confused, and most of all... too slow. they don't realize the ones above are still unused, and stab downwards towards the Priceytag, stealing it.
[base attack is like 15,000 which would be enough to instanook glaiveface and that's got a fair bit of flavour for the bodybypass (which is an official thing) so it should work]
[BONUS ACTION // CP if needed]
CaJOEbob! puts a fair bit of money into the Safe- maybe 60ish dollars?(Inflation shouldn't be affecting them if they're prior to us,and statistically if they're after they'll be far enough after for it to more or less return to normal. if this logic fails, keeps adding money. While JOEbob is not as fanatical about The Cake as Cake Guy is, he does recognize the power available. Plus, he's already become basically two players! if this keeps up, things will be very good.), with a note reading 'here is money. want food. specifically, want icing. for a cake. make sure the icing isn't THYME. also make sure the icing isn't ranch dressing. Other sauces of value comensurate to this money are acceptable. preferably, the sauce should grant godlike power to cakes.'
After a Brief Headache I after questioning what just happened I get to work
Side Thanos GReat! now that the lab is created I head inside of it to see if they cranked anything out of it yet, and if they haven't Then I'll offer them some Candy Corn Liquor to help them crank out new stuff

Charging 23/50
"It is time to do my duty as a Stanglose Brigadier." The alien heads over to one of the mercenary squads. He presses yet another button upon his wrist controller. A handful of pamphlets pop out of it and the alien starts passing them out. The mercenaries start riffling through them, not really caring what the have to say. The alien steps up on a random rock and addresses the group. "Hello, hello. I am a Stanglose Brigadier, and today, I am here to talk about what that means. I know, I know, it sounds entirely stupid. I was like you once. I might not have been some sort of intergalactic mercenary, but I definitely was a tough customer... for every intergalactic buffet in sight. Yup, I ran about half of them out of business... for the five minutes it takes them to make their food. Anyways, the Stanglose Brigade is a great place to learn how to be part of something bigger than yourself. I know, you all think this squadron you're a part of is as large as you can get, but trust me, we have a wide range of roles that one can take. Here, we have some sign up sheets." He presses another button and shoves some papers into their hands. "Right, you need some pens too. Here you go." He passes out a lot of Stanglose Brigade brand pens and continues to ramble on about all of the different things one can accomplish in the Stanglose Brigade. The mercenaries are entirely dumbfounded by the information they are receiving. They're too busy absorbing it all to notice the explosive ink used to write each document. The alien presses one last button and the papers all explode in each mercenary's presumed face. "I need to tell the rest of the brigade that the confetti ink is a bit... excessive."
Neo looks to Thanos, and his army of body guards. He sees no need to deal with the bodyguards this time around, so he does something clever. He looks at the blue fire that Thanos is wreathed in. He finds it unlikely he can turn it back to what it was, with the reality stone against him, and all that. But he doesn't need to. He instead, without giving any indicator besides his eyes flashing blue, draws an ability from a video game that he knows little about, but his creator programmed into his abilities. Suddenly, Thanos notices something. The fire now burns him every time he moves, without any qualifiers. And stationary objects that reach within the fire are not affected by it.
Another odd coincidence, even though Neo would now have 5/50 cp, he is now at 0/50.
OOC: Gonna give you a quick rundown. First off, this runs on the action per post rule, so I suggest doing something with this post instead of doing effectively nothing. Second, we only get passive charging currently. DC plans to posibly add active charging, but currently, you just get a bar over your action that is n/50, with n being your current charge stored. You increment it twice per round, and have two actions per round, which are each allotted one per post. I will demonstrate below. We are trying to kill Thanos. The BLUE thing is a shield protecting him, which he made out of part of an attack from the future (time stone shenanigans), and he has body guards, although creative action description can sneak past bodyguards. Attack any PT thing, but avoid the guard possessed by proxima midnight, since she will just be given a new host anyways if you do. I tried something of an undertale reference with my above action to turn the blue fire barrier thing against him. Ask for any more details.

Neo thinks a bit more, and realizes that he may be able to do just one more trick, and end things. First, out of curiosity, he pops off a hand, and attaches the power finger to the hand's pointer finger. A new hand replaces the detached one.
He then does his actual non messing around action, and begins focusing once more. He then thinks of the mind stone he had somehow missed snagging at the start of the fight... Mind... Thanos... That's it!
He then proceeds to pull out a small bomb. It is what is now known as a mini bang bomb. It is based on a black hole bomb made by his creator in a battle with a Godmodder. He never mentioned if he used it, but he used the overall setup to create bombs that create a miniaturized Big Bang to destroy the target. Best for small targets. He then opens up a very small hole in space time, and, making sure Thanos cannot see him do so, tosses the bob in, having set the timer. It ticks for about two seconds, and then blows up in his head, the energy redirected back into him with a portal array that surrounds his brain, one of the better sections of the bomb. Absolutely zero collateral damage, and high energy yield on the target.
