Fort Mayhem! Created to Protect The Goonish Worlds!

[Alex_Mage]

Cantina

Yep, it seems most people do. And I think you felt the Judge plushie doing his thing...

*The band begins to play this.*

Corridor

*The plushie on top of Cyrus's head hands him the yellow card.*

"Yellow Card?! That's it?!"

Oh geez, don't get bent out of shape...

*Alex turns himself back to normal and pulls his 6-pack of unlabeled soda out of his hat. He hands them to Cyrus.*

Shake them up and toss em.

*Cyrus does so and Alex sets his TF gun to random and shoots the cans. They explode in mid-air and drench everyone nearby. Cyrus seems to turn into a female/polar bear/penguin. Alex on the other hand seems to be a blur of many different forms before turning back to normal.*

"This makes...no sense..."

Hmmm, I absorbed a lot of different forms there...Idea!

*Alex begins to rapidly change forms, all the while shooting his TF gun at everyone. He even hits the unlabeled energy drink, causing it to spew energy drink into the air.*

[Cheez]

Cantina"So, you're in the army I take it" says Sashca to Cheez. "Do you work with Amon alot?"

"Yeah, I just recently came back from a mission to Too Many Authors, where we fought alongside each other. Before that, I was in Operation Lagomorph. We fought next to each other a couple of times there too. He's a damn fine buny and a damn fine commander."

[Wolfius]

A glowing light, about a foot across, appears under the text <Wolfius> and within everyone's line of sight. That this is blaitently impossible doesn't seem to prove much of an impediment to it actually happening, but such things don't seem particularly unusual around these parts.

"Apologies for my absence - I had to divert the attention of local assets rather... promptly. I hope nothing of serious importance has transpired while my gaze was turned?"


((OOC: 'twas mostly offline for a week and a half, and still haven't caught up with everything))

Meanwhile, beside Littlebeast or, failing that, Beastling;

An identical light likewise appears before the aforementioned individual, having been exempt from the above performance.

"If you wish assistance in reclaiming TMA, I can deploy one or multiple avatars to assist, or start the work while you press efforts elsewhere. Presently, it's possible that the avatar I deployed with the Bunnies is still there. I also theoretically have one of my ships there - the UCGV Anti-Chrysler - which was tasked with following the ship transporting the Bunnies to TWA and there serving as logistical support and avatar replacement - what exactly happened to it is presently undefined, which is potentially advantageous."

"Additionally, none of this should have any real impact on my ability to deploy with future missions simultaneously, so that's no worry."

It paused then, before adding, almost as an afterthought, "I'm also available for suicide missions."

[Jorlem]

Cantina: Pile O' Plushies
If this "Judge plushie" is doing things that cause pulses of dimensional energy, that would probably mean that he is in some sort of different dimension. And since you said he's a plushie... was he the reason that all of these plushies had to jump onto my head for safety?
*The group of extreme sports plushies atop Jorlem's head have all finished assembling their hang gliders, and prepare to take off. They watch, pleased, as the Kisata plushie goes flying by Jorlem's head on the hang glider that they had given her.*
*The band fades from the stage, and is replaced by a man with a theremin, who starts to play this.*

Corridor
*Seeing the spray of enhanced unlabeled soda coming at him, the plushie Jorlem opened up a wormhole between himself and the soda, redirecting the wave of transformation fluid onto the chocobo, which quickly changes from yellow to blue, to black, to green, to white, to red, to brown, and finally stops on gold. The Jorlem plushie then walks behind the now golden chocobo, and hides in its shadow.

Cantina (again): Near Ajac
*Emmet turns to Song Man*
Jorlem? No, my name is Emmet. As for why we look similar, its a long, and slightly confusing story.

OOC: FF7Kotrt, if you want me to change what I said about the Kisata plushie, just PM me.

[littlebeast]

Cantina


(Plushie pile area)

Chekov is splashed by soda and transformed once again, this time into a winged apple pie.

Chekov Smirnoff pie: Strange things happen in the Motherland...

Godiva and Head are also splashed, and transform into a Goron and an ordinary human, respectively.

Godiva: What the [brick]?

Head: Huh. Limbs. They feel weird.



(Near the stage)

Roll starts broadcasting radio waves at random to mess with the theremin.

MegaMan: Stop that!



(Near the entrance)

Beastling: Wow. That is one crazy thing. How can you play an instrument without touching it?

Author: Ajac, if you don't have any other errand with me, I'm going to head over to the crazy transformation area.



((He means the pile of plushie area))

Song Man: Well, I'd still appreciate it if you explained it.

Beastling turns again to face the Wolfius light.

Beastling: Well, we're not quite ready for that yet, but thank you. And it's good to know about these things. It may have lost them when they were taken to the building by the chile pepper, though.

[Wolfius]

The light before Beastling doesn't actually move, or do anything, really, but nevertheless succeeds in giving the impression that it's nodded.

"The Anti-Chrysler's location isn't unknown, it's undefined. Think of it in terms of Quantum Uncertainty, or when an author is writing fiction - it is most likely in orbit of Mayhem, or TMA, although it could really be anywhere. The power now lies in our ability to choose which of those possibilities is the truth. If the author allows it - if it advances the plot, if you will - then the ship shall be there, simple-as."

"And while it may be a little early to reclaim TMA, there's no reason I see that a small force couldn't get a head start and keep an eye on things. It would make things that much easier when the main force moves in later."

[Alex_Mage]

((Just to clarify LB, what's going on with the soda is in another part of the fort, a random corridor some ways from the Cantina, not near the pile of plushies. Of course, there's always the chance someone randomly doused you all with soda...A very good chance actually...))

Cantina

*Jason walks up to both Lia and Cory.*

"How odd, some random person seems to have gotten drunk and is spraying people with different types of unlabeled soda. Oh well, at least I have my pants back."

*Steps behind Cory and Lia, putting them between him and the random person.*

"If you do not mind I think I will stand here. I am rather fond of my current form."

*Over at the pile of plushies Mage looks over at Jorlem.*

Yeah, he's putting laws against chaos and unbalance. And that's a good thought there. If I had access to more than just the plane of shadow I'd look myself...Oh, and you look good with fur and breasts...but then again, most people do...

[OzLionHeart]

Cantina

"That's quite all right, Jason," said Lia.

"Randomness is pretty much a way of life around here," commented Cory.

[A Fan]

Armory

Fan was currently tracking Ocyard's dimensional signature, but he was also quickly getting bored. "I wonder..." He grabbed a TF Grenade, reconfigured it, and dropped it down a space warp.

Cantina

A Transmogrimification Grenade set on [Random/Random] detonates in a flash of orange, altering everyone's form and proportions at random.

Fan hovers in a corner, invisible and intangible, waiting for Ocyard to pounce on this delectable dish of chaotic happenings. For good measure, he brought in an Incongruous Yak.

Meanwhile, May had somehow gotten onto the stage with an accordion
Polka medleys ensued.

[Amon Star]

Cantina

Lia smiled and hugged the two plushies. "Hello there."

"I'm Durai," says the Amon plushie, "and I'm Cara," continues the Sashca plushie, "and we are virus. To propagate us, put us on your shoulders so we can use you as a launching pad," finishes Durai.

"Yeah, I just recently came back from a mission to Too Many Authors, where we fought alongside each other. Before that, I was in Operation Lagomorph. We fought next to each other a couple of times there too. He's a damn fine buny and a damn fine commander."

"But what is he like as a person?" Sashca asks, her colouration going from orange to blue.

A Transmogrimification Grenade set on [Random/Random] detonates in a flash of orange, altering everyone's form and proportions at random.[/url]

*Sashca gets hit by the blast & turns into a short fat man with a beard & pink hair. She looks down at herself & sighs*

"Not again!"

*The plushies seem unaffected. Meanwhile, this starts playing*

Entrance

"May I ask what that is, is it like an army or something?"

"I militia, to be precise, consisting of Bunny volunteers. However, some of our allied forces are true military forces. Also, I've just been told to formerly inviter you to the party. Follow the crowd if you wish to join in."

[shadowwing]

Cantina
*Emmet follows Ajac and Beastling into the Cantina, and winces.*
This is... very disorienting. I can see the Cantina like it regularly is, and with all the decorations, sort of overlaid on each other.

(OOC: "odd, i'm guessing you have some sort of magikal vision abilities, or something? the hologram is not supposed to be transparent.
and beast, you already have one of me, and Lumin(plushie me) is the same, but with a light blue shirt.")


Cantina
*the band starts playing this.*


Corridor
*when the Jorlem plushie grabbed Lumin's shoulders, he got teleported back onto the chocobo's head. Lumin then jumped down as well.*
"sorry 'bout that, automatic reaction, you know.
and here, this should help you until you can get your mouth fixed. *he hands plushie Jorlem an amulet that looks like a comic speech bubble. as he takes it, a similar speech bubble appears over plushie Jorlem's head that says "thanks." he then blinks in surprise.*

"causing a major chaos might be a good idea, and it might be best to do it outside."
*everyone's pants dissappear, luckily Shadowwing's cloak hid his lack thereof until they returned.* "um, okaaay."
*he looks up with a slightly puzzled expression on his face until Alex starts firing TF beams all over the place. at which point he scoops up Lumin, and turns so his cloak deflects the beams and the soda.* "Hey!" *lumin sighs* "i'm guessing it's the party, making everyone hyper." *shadow sighs* "quite possibly."

*when the beams die down, he turns back to the rest of the group, and blinks at their transformations.*
"um, we might not need that after all, Cyrus's spell seems to have been sufficient to make Ocyard react. and that allowed me to get a lock on him, for now. he seems to be in a sub-verse of pure order of his own creation.
i think i might have something in my lab that could let us get there. unless one of you has a better idea?"


(OOC: "oh, and by the way alex, i found the wiki data for the Sphere of Yun. in case that helps.")

[OzLionHeart]

Cantina

"All right then." Lia smiled, and did the honours.

Both Cory and Lia were hit by the blast, Lia becoming a fox-girl with orange fur and red hair ("Why do I have a sudden urge to randomly glomp people?") and Cory being largely unaffected, except that her fur turned a rainbow of colours, and her hair went from purple to a bright green. And her eyes turned orange.

[FF7Kotrt]

Cantina:
*Kisata is engulfed in the light, and then, standing where she was is a penguin.*

*The Kisata plushie jumps off the glider mid-air, and begins to cower. She begins to tug on Jorlem, pointing at the penguin.*

*Meanwhile, the penguin gets a mischevious look on his face.*

[Drayco]

Overdimension

"There seems to have been a timewarp... how annoying. I shall have to fix that as soon as possible. But in the mean time... ye gods, those things can create chaos with gusto."
He held his hand up, which began glowing red. "Red Card... FLURRY!"


Cantina

A red card fwacked into the face of everyone hit by the TF Grenade's blast, undoing whatever transformation had been caused by it. These Red Cards were, however, single-use.


Corridor(s)

Drayco had taken the blast of zapped unlabeled energy drink, and was promptly transformed into a pink comically-semi-anthromorphic bunny about 2 feet tall, though his clothes change as well.

A torrent of red cards swept up the corridors, fwacking all the transform-ee's in the face as with the Cantina, returning them to normal. Some also landed on each puddle of unlabeled soda or energy drink spilled about, absorbing the mess and leaving it squeaky clean.

Drayco fell over when the card hit him in the face, transforming back. He then pulled it off is face, and frowned. "Now, I'm pissed off."

[FF7Kotrt]

Cantina:
*The penguin is hit by the red card, transforming it back into Kisata.*

Whew! That red card prevented alot of chaos from happening there. I do not want a repeat of last time this body was an animal.

*The Kisata plushie seems to have calmed down, and returns to the crashed glider. It gathers the glider and takes it to the pile, and then jumps and clings onto Kisata.*

[Jorlem]

Cantina
*Emmet follows Ajac and Beastling into the Cantina, and winces.*
This is... very disorienting. I can see the Cantina like it regularly is, and with all the decorations, sort of overlaid on each other.

(OOC: "odd, i'm guessing you have some sort of magikal vision abilities, or something? the hologram is not supposed to be transparent.

OOC:Kind of. One of Emmet's abilities is that he can see the reality lying underneath illusions and holograms.

Cantina: Pile Of Plushies
*Jorlem looks down at himself and sighs.*
I should have expected something like this would-- *The TF grenade goes off.*--Wark!
*Choco-Jorlem jsut stood there, looking around plaintively, until he was hit by two red cards, one of which turned him back to normal and the other locking him into his regular form.*
*The band starts to play this.*

Cantina: Near Ajac and Beastling
Well, the short version would go something like this: There are several robot archetypes that transcend dimensions. Most, but not all robots are based off of these archetypes. Megaman is one of those archetypes, as is Protoman, Roll, and certain Robot Masters. We are both variations on the Bass archetype, like Paint Man is a variation on the Protoman archetype. These variations on the archetypes usually have the same form, but often have different colorations, as well as widely divergent powers and abilities.

Corridor
*For some reason, no red cards hit the golden chocobo.*

[A Fan]

Cantina

Hmm. Interesting.

Fan looked to the fourth wall. "You have something, Narrator?"

Indeed. I believe Ocyard is in...my dimension.

"Clever. Hide in the narration and you're guaranteed to have a hand in dictating the flow of reality. Will you need my assistance?"

Only a bit. Namely, an aspect of a Karnprobe.

"What do you intend to do with it?"

Create order.

Narratorspace

Well, here goes. Never had to narrate for myself before. OK, Fan brought the tool. A transparent sphere, purest crystal, nicely radiating white mana. Should be quite attractive to one such as Ocyard. Now, to actually find him...

Corridor with Drayco

May popped in, FV5'd Drayco, and shouted "Costume Change idea!" Grabbing a hunk of fDrayco's hair and pulling it back into a rough pigtail transformed the busty half-dragon into a diminutive version of herself in a miniature high school uniform and much cleaner pigtails. As always, the dragon tail remained. "Behold: Drayo-chan! With all the powers of a ten-year old genius!" The muse floated upside-down, her eyes meeting Drayco's. "Whaddaya think?"

[littlebeast]

Cantina

(Near the entrance)

Beastling: Huh. Well, that's nifty.

Song Man: Wait, but I wasn't originally like this, so-
Beastling: Author transformed you into one of the archetypes.
Song Man: Okay then....



Beastling is zapped by the TF grenade, and becomes a green pikmin. Author and Song man are as well, and become a Firefly-class ship and an owl, respectively.

Beastling: Hmm. I wonder what green ones do.
Author: Well, this is new. Also there seems to be no scale.
Song Man: Hoot!



They are hit by red cards, and transform back.

Beastling: Oh well. Hmm, I wonder why I was affected while the other plushies weren't.
Author: Oh, of course, there's no specific transformation area. What was I thinking? This is EGS!!

((That is a setup for you, Ajac, and you'd better take it! ))

Song Man: Does this sort of thing happen regularly?

Beastling, upon hearing this song, begins to sing...
Beastling: Final Fantasy is an RPG, the only one that I need, it's the RPG for me... oh what the heck.

Beastling closes his eyes and goes limp.

The band is joined by singers to make this.

((You have to push the play button before it'll start, though... ))

Beastling opens his eyes again, and fireworks appear in his arms.

Beastling: Leftovers from 4th of July, hehe...



(Near the plushie pile)

((Oh... hehe... oops, oh well.))

Chekov Smirnoff, Godiva, and Head are hit by the transformation grenade and become what appear to be a ninja bug, a very round seal, and a lizard with a strange, flat tail.

Chekov Smirnoff: {Very strange things happen in the Motherland} (Translated from bugspeak)

Head: So, why are we becoming Pokemon?



They are hit by red tags and transform back.

Godiva: Okay, this place is just too weird. I don't care what Author says, I'm going to try and start a mission back to our home. Who's with me?

Neither Chekov nor the Head make any motion indicating volunteership.

Godiva: Fine then!

Godiva storms off in the direction of the door.



(Near the stage)

Roll wanders off in search of more mischief to do.

MegaMan: Get back he- ... argh.

Roll(From behind MegaMan): Hey there!

MegaMan whirls around and yells:
MegaMan: What the- How did you get back there?

They are hit by the blast of the TF-grenade. MegaMan becomes a very large fish, while Roll becomes a near derpcounterfeits of Genghis Khan.

MegaMan: {Okay, what the [brick]? Why am I a fish?}(Translated from fishspeak.)

They are hit by red cards, and turn back to normal, except that Roll now has a purple dress and brown hair.


MegaMan: You?!
Roll(Or more correctly, Amanda): Aww, I've been found out.

(Somewhere else)

Roll comes across Dr. Light, Dr. Schnaidt, and Kevin having a discussion.

Light: Can't you see, those four HAVE to be sages!

Kevin: But there's already sages in that- HEY!!

Kevin looks furiously at Roll, who had started pulling his tail....
...and they are hit by the TF-grenade.
Light becomes a tonberry, Schnaidt becomes Shad, Kevin becomes a giant version of himself, and Roll becomes a catgirl.

Roll: Whoa!!
Kevin: Ha, serves you right!
Schnaidt: Well, I do feel rather sagely...

They are hit by red cards and return to normal. Unfortunately for Roll, she's about 40 feet in the air.

Roll: Ahhhhh!!
Kevin: Oh crap.
Light: Somebody save her!! She may be a robot but she can't take that fall!
Kevin: Shoddy building?
Light: No. Shut up.

[Stardrake_]

Outside

Stardrake inscribes a pattern of distinctive but easily-memorised symbols into the ground with his claws, starting in the inside and working outwards until he finishes by drawing a ring around the pattern. The pattern complete, he sits back on his haunches and begins chanting, one foretalon waving over the circle.

There is a flash, and a pile of boxes with warning markings appear in the circle, as well as a formal-looking gold-embroidered blue robe.

Nodding in satisfaction, the dragon steps into the circle and breaks open the nearest box.

[OzLionHeart]

Cantina

Cory looked up at the yell. "Uh-oh..."

Corelle stopped dancing and flew up to rescue Roll. "I've got you!"

A jet of green fire flashed out from her, forming a giant green hand, which caught the falling Roll, and slowed her descent enough to land gently on the floor. Well, almost gently - she's not as strong as her original, after all...

"Are you okay?" Corelle asked, hovering at about eye level to Roll.

[FF7Kotrt]

Cantina
*Kisata sees as roll is saved, and rushes over to see if everything is alright.*

Are you alright?

*The Kisata plushie jumps onto roll, and the aura of chaos around it vanishes.*

Edit: New Kisata Plushie.

[Jorlem]

Cantina: By Ajac and Beastling
*Emmet looks up at the ceiling for a few moments, then turns to Beastling*
You probably aren't able to see it under the hologram, but one of your characters just knocked a hole in the ceiling.
*The band begins to play this song.*

OOC: Blast. I had this great thing typed up for saving Roll, and I got ninja'd. Drat. If anyone wants to see what it was, just PM me or something.

[littlebeast]

Cantina (Wherever it is Light, Schnaidt, and Kevin are)

Roll: Yeah, I think so. Thanks.

Cantina (Near the stage)

MegaMan turns to the nearest bunny and says:
MegaMan: I just got turned into a fish (I think a bass) and my sister just fell about 40 feet and was saved by a flaming green hand. Please tell me this isn't normal around here.

Cantina (Near the entrance)

Beastling: Oh. I thought something was weird. I suppose I'd better fix that. Hold these.

Beastling thrusts the fireworks into Emmet's arms, then closes his eyes and goes limp.
He opens his eyes again and says:
Beastling: Okay, I've written in some nanites fixing the hole.

[Amon Star]

Fort Mayhem entrance

The majority of my characters almost literally pile into the fort.

MegaMan: So, where's the party?

*Amon would have points towards the Cantina before moving off somewhere*

Cantina

A red card fwacked into the face of everyone hit by the TF Grenade's blast, undoing whatever transformation had been caused by it. These Red Cards were, however, single-use.

*Sashca gets hit & returns to normal. She pulls the Red Card off her face & looks back at Cheez. Her colour is now tawny*

"Where were we?*

(Near the stage)

MegaMan turns to the nearest bunny and says:
MegaMan: I just got turned into a fish (I think a bass) and my sister just fell about 40 feet and was saved by a flaming green hand. Please tell me this isn't normal around here.

*The nearest Bunny happened to be Amon, who was in the shadows of the stage eating a meat feast pizza*

"This is pretty normal for a party," he says between mouthfuls.

[Cheez]

Cantina

A Transmogrimification Grenade set on [Random/Random] detonates in a flash of orange, altering everyone's form and proportions at random.

Cheez transformed into a 1 foot tall parrot with tentacles instead of legs. He turned back as a red card hit him.

Where were we?

"Talking about Amon. He's honourable and loyal to his friends. I like him. Why do you ask?"
