Fort Mayhem! Created to Protect The Goonish Worlds!

[littlebeast]

Cantina (Near Jorlem, Kisata, and one of the Wolfius lights)

Godiva's as of yet unnamed robot progeny (which I will abbreviate to GAOYURP in the future for convenience)(Also, technically, unidentified is more correct; she HAS a name, we just don't know it.) and Invisible Man can be heard (or, more likely, not) having a whispered conversation.

(whisper)
GAOYURP: Come on, do it.
Invisible Man: I'll be at least transformed, probably split... possibly even worse...
GAOYURP: Transformation is fun. And if you were split, well, there'd be two of you! Think of the possibilities!
Invisible Man: Can't think of any. And how would you know?
GAOYURP: Just go!
Invisible Man: Fine. But I'll have you know that this is just out of curiosity, not because of your goadings.
(/whisper)

Invisible Man approaches the threesome and says:
Invisible Man: Okay, it's against my better judgement, but what the heck, I'll try it.

Cantina (Near the stage)

Godiva approaches Amanda, Tom, Board Man, Gravity Man, and Paint Man.

Godiva: Okay, here I am to see which of you is coming on that mission
Godiva points to one of the signs
Godiva: back to our home. So. Who'll it be?

Board Man: Frickin' yes I'll go.
Amanda:Hmm... no, too much potential for mischief here...
Paint Man: Yeah, why not.
Tom: Back in my day, we never asked our elders to go on military missions!
Godiva: I take it that's a no, then... Gravity Man?
Gravity Man: Ehh. Somehow I think I'll be more hinder than help, but if you don't think so, I'll go.

Godiva: All right then.
Godiva walks off in the direction of her creation and Invisible Man, writing as she goes.

((OOC: Also, I should mention, I'm updating my older posts, starting here with panels, as I make them, which will be put into my comic. Of course, these are (relatively) rough drafts, and if I spot any errors, I'll fix them before actually composing them into a comic.))

[FF7Kotrt]

Wolfius, can you get the materials together? We seem to have a volunteer.

How long will it take to get it ready to test?

[Amon Star]

Cantina (Near stage)

*Mage notices Stardrake's head and floats over.*

Amon? Yeah, he's right over there.

*He points over to the stage.*

Yo, Amon! There's a dragon's head here that wants to speak with you!

*Amon finishes eating his pizza. He then slithers over to Stardrake_*

"Chibi-me wishes to trade with The Board. He's interested in your respawn tech. As you are our official liaison, I said I would pass the message on."

Cantina (Near Jorlem)

Hmm... Not off the top of my head, no.
*Jorlem falls silent for a moment, thinking.*
Hey, RAI? Do you know who a good person to ask some TF Tech questions to is?

*RAI appears*

"B.T.Isaac, A Fan or J-fan are probably the main TF modifiers. You could also ask Amon."

Cantina (Near Cheez)

Cheez realised his mistake.
"Like as a friend, of course, and you, uh, wanted to know a little about what other people think of him because... Because you thought people were badmouthing him. Yeah..."

Then, to May, he muttered "Sorry. I'm pretty inept when it comes to that sort of thing."

*Sashca shakes her head*

"Its not like that. I admit that I like him. Its just that," her colouration turns silver, "I'm not sure what he thinks about me." Sashca sighs. "He's nice enough to me, but I get the impression that I'm just another duty to him."

[FF7Kotrt]

Cantina

RAI, It's good to meet you.

Would you mind asking Amon if he thinks he knows enough? It would be good to get some info before attempting this.

Oh, and if either of you are hungry or thirsty, I can make you some food/drink with my oven... and yes, the oven CAN make cold drinks or food, it's not a normal oven.

[Cheez]

Cantina

"Ah. I see. Well, I hope it turns out well for the both of you."

Cheez started eyeing up an as-of-yet unused karaoke machine.

"Hmmm.... It was nice talking to you, Sascha. Now, I see I have some business to attend to."

[Wolfius]

Cantina


"I have the materials. And a time-warp facilitator, actually, so the DTF Gun is already ready, and preliminary tests have proven it safe to the user. The use-ee, well, let's wait until you've consulted someone with a little more experience than myself."

"...wonder what this would do to an EOU droid..."

[Cheez]

Cantina

Cheez walked over to the karaoke machine and started dragging it towards the stage. The band stopped playing, and the singer said "OK, people, no party's complete without people making fools of themselves on the karaoke machine! Looks like we've got someone who wants a go! We'll back you up, mate."

Cheez finished moving it into place, turned it on and selected a song. A few moments later, The Proclaimer's 500 Miles started playing, with Cheez singing. He was surprisingly good.

[Amon Star]

Cantina

RAI, It's good to meet you.

Would you mind asking Amon if he thinks he knows enough? It would be good to get some info before attempting this.

"I have just informed him. He will be over as soon as he is available."

Cantina (By Ur-Slide)

*Amon seems distracted for a moment, then he sub-vocalizes something*

Cantina

"Ah. I see. Well, I hope it turns out well for the both of you."

Cheez started eyeing up an as-of-yet unused karaoke machine.

"Hmmm.... It was nice talking to you, Sascha. Now, I see I have some business to attend to."

"It was nice talking to you to," says Sashca as Cheez walks off.

*Sashca's colouration turns grey as she turns to Lia*

"I'm going to see what they have to eat here."

*Sashca walks towards the food*

[Stardrake_]

Cantina

Stardrake nods to Amon. "Ah, yes, I believe he was asking about the possibility earlier. Someone was, anyway. I'll pass it on, but the Board is a little protective over RESPAWN - if for no other reason that we'd rather not see someone figure out how to jam the system. At best the Board would require it to be operated by Board personnel - and that would require High Command or the Director to agree that it serves the Board's interests better to have those personnel on ChibiMe's vessel than elsewhere."

"So, Jorlem, what was it you wanted to ask again? I'm kind of stuck here at the moment... well, not stuck, but about as far as I can fit in this form."

The dragon's eyes narrow slightly, his attention having been caught by something deeper in the cantina.

"Excuse me... if it's not rude to ask, who is that over there? I don't think I've ever seen an apparently natural colour-changing human before. Some varieties of fae, yes, but..."

[Jorlem]

Cantina: At a Table
*Jorlem turns to Stardrake.*
I'm not sure who that is. I don't think that I've seen her before. Sorry.
Anyway, back on the Fanworks, I was poked, and told something about getting a POST, and some sort of cookie. If you don't mind me asking, do you know if those will be coming soon?

[Cheez]

Cheez finished singing, and received a score of 72. He left the stage and the band invited someone else to have a go.

[Ajac]

Beastling turns to Ajac and asks:
Beastling: When you said "hearing of a quantum entity" before, I thought that was just a weird way of meaning forumite... but I'm not so sure anymore. Who or what are "your people"? Not that it really matters, but, I'm interested.

Ajac smiled.
I come from an interdimensional plane named Avalon Hall. Think Time Lords, only with more of a Roman theme.

[A Fan]

Storage Area
"Okay, just like I showed you, on every TF gun...Hmmm, closed crate...Mind if I borrow that?"

*Cyrus, not waiting for a reply, takes Mal's sign and uses it to pry open the crate. He looks at the sign, then the crate, then back at the sign again and then breaks the sign on the crate and hands it back to Mal.*

"No offense, but this isn't about following rules, it's about breaking them... Well, it's more like we bend them over a table, but that's not something we should talk about in front of the kiddies..."

Mal sighs and demanifests the sundered sign. "Breaking some rules I don't mind. (Though sodomizing them is a different story.) Nor do I object to stopping an overly orderly entity. It's tardyonic matter travelling at superliminal speed that gets under my skin." He pauses for a moment and comes to decision. "May is far better suited for this. Cerebrum Swap."
Mal's body illuminates bluely. The light shifts to purple, then red, and May stands in his place. She looks around, probes the mystic energies in use, and grins worrisomely. She also manifests several floating hands and starts grabbing Chaos-enchanted TF Guns with them. "Just tell me when to fire."

Cantina
May was about to step up to the kareoke stage when Mal pulled the Swap. This left the left-brain muse with a microphone in hand and a track to select. He shrugged and began

(Near Jorlem)

Hmm... Not off the top of my head, no.
*Jorlem falls silent for a moment, thinking.*
Hey, RAI? Do you know who a good person to ask some TF Tech questions to is?

*RAI appears*

"B.T.Isaac, A Fan or J-fan are probably the main TF modifiers. You could also ask Amon."

"You called?" Fan appeared and ran through the conversation mentally. "Interesting. If the DD doesn't work, it may mean that your personality is still too closely bound with your male self to be separated without mental and possibly physical damage. We certainly don't want that. Hmm..."

Narratorspace
Man, this guy makes obsessive-compulsives look like slobs. This place is a maze. A well organized, spotless, semi-fractal maze, but a maze. Turn, turn, straight, up, down, A, B, Start...wait...stupid mental drift. Darn it, it's like he's trying to keep me here...duh. Alright then, I'll play your game, Trebek. DEMYSTIFY!
Well, that helped. Onward, ever onward...

[shadowwing]

Storage Area 42

Mal sighs and demanifests the sundered sign. "Breaking some rules I don't mind. Nor do I object to stopping an overly orderly entity. It's tardyonic matter travelling at superliminal speed that gets under my skin."

"i prefer bending space around anyway, especially in a flexible universe like this."


Cantina
*Lumin appears on Sashca's shoulder in a small flare of light-blue light.*
"don't worry. Shadowwing and I may not have been here long, but we can tell that Amon's a good person. i'm certain he doesn't think of you as 'just another duty'."

*on the stage, the Kareoke screen flashes a question mark for a few seconds, then gives Mal a score of "2(PI*10^1)"*

[jfan999]

In a flash of green light Jfan appeared in storage area 42, "In my triumphant return I bring with me my army of... Wait where am I?"

[Demonic Gophers]

Zeek added his name to the list for the TMA Recapture mission, then wandered off to find some people he wanted to introduce to Ajac.

[Cheez]

((I'm also interested in going on the mission. I'm assuming I'm going anyway, as the Bunny Berets are, but I'm saying it just in case.))

Cantina

Cheez wandered through the crowd until he saw Ajac. He made a beeline for him. When he got to him, he saw he was talking to Beastling, so he waited until they finished their conversation.

[FF7Kotrt]

Cantina

Would you happen to know where Jaxom left his stuff Fan?

I figure if we find his notes/journal, we can see what his "calculations" said.

[littlebeast]

Cantina (Near the entrance)

((OOC: I wasn't assuming all the Berets to be going... any case, it doesn't say it on the posters, so (IC anyway) you'd have no reason to think that. I think Ajac said that earlier, but I never really included it.))

Beastling: Ah. Roman Whos. Okay then.
Beastling: Hmm. Must put an interesting twist on the Avalon-droid issue. Speaking of which, are we planning to do anything with those? I could probably rescue them fairly easily, you know. Just saying.

Beastling, Author, and Song Man spot the karaoke machine at almost the same time. Author and Song Man immediately run towards it, and Beastling considers it but then says:
Beastling: I guess one of us needs to stay here with the list.

Beastling notices Cheez waiting to talk to Ajac.
Beastling: Oh, you don't have to wait for me. Oh and, are you wanting to go on the mission? I know you were in the Berets, so I thought you might.

Cantina (Wherever it is Jorlem, Kisata, etc. are)

Godiva approaches her progeny and says:
Godiva: I presume you are coming?
GAOYURP: Yes.
Godiva: Alright then.

She writes something down, then asks Invisible Man as well:
Godiva: Are you coming back to TMA?
Invisible Man: Well, I'm doing something right now, but if I'm done by then, sure.

Writing, she starts heading to the entrance, but seeing Author and Song Man running across the room, makes for the stage instead.

Cantina (On the stage)
Song Man just barely beats Author to the karaoke machine, selects Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft, and begins to sing. However, unknown to him, or anyone else really, his music actually mind-controls people into obeying the lyrics, so everyone in earshot closes their eyes... and concentrates with their every thought... on the next part of the song.

((OOC: Yeah, I like that song, though I also couldn't really think of others with as interesting of results.))

Some spaceship somewhere
The occupants of the ship hear "Calling occupants of interplanetary craft" and some of the song after that.
Someone on the ship: What, again?

((OOC: If someone wants to volunteer a ship and/or character for this, for me to put in my comic, that'd be nice. Otherwise, I'll probably just use a marine in a generic ship background.))

((Also, since that lasts until he stops singing, you should probably just assume he's done at the end of this post. Although I'm not sure yet whether it affects robots or plushies.))

[Jstone]

((You can use one of my frigates; either the Constellation, Constitution, or Victory.))

[shadowwing]

Storage Area 42
*shadowwing blinks at the new arrival.* "um, hello. this is storage area 42. might i ask who you are, why you are here, and where you were trying to teleport to?
oh, and you might want to step to the side of the room, or maybe outside, so you don't get hit by any Chaos TF blasts."


Cantina
*noticing an odd quality to the song being sung, Lumin glances around, and sees everyone except the plushies staring at the ceiling.
he sighs, then pulls out a plushie reader and uses it to adjust the kareoke machine to neutralize the song's mind-controlling characteristics.*

[littlebeast]

Cantina

In most of the cantina, motion resumes as usual... However, those nearest the stage are still affected, and are still concentrating on the song, but there is not enough thought power remaining to actually transmit anything.

Cantina (Near the stage)

Song Man finishes the song, and steps away from the karaoke machine. All the remaining affected people are now released.

Author: That was weird. I guess I blanked out or something.

Song Man: Actually, pretty much everyone in here blanked out. Except for the plushies. Weird.

Author: Indeed. But, whatever. So who's next, me or 8-bit?

Godiva makes her way onto the stage, and asks:
Godiva: Okay, you three are the only ones left, are you going with the mission back to TMA or not?
Author: Nah, I'm sticking with the bunnies.
Song Man: Karaoke or fighting... what do you think?
Godiva: That's a no then?
Song Man: Yes, that's a no.
8-bit Author: ......Nah.
Godiva: Alright then.

Godiva writes on the scroll and walks away, presumably to Beastling.

Author steps up to the karaoke machine, starts at seeing Song Man's perfect 100, then fires up Operation Ground and Pound, even air-guitaring along with it. (The fact that this would cause his hands to catch fire, melt, and explode is apparantly of no concern to him.)

Edit: Bunny scroll and Character scroll

[jfan999]

Storage Area 42
"Who am I you ask I am the great, Jfan, scientist, and TF weapon designer. as to why I am here I happen to be a member of the EGS-DF, though I was attempting to teleport to the party."

[shadowwing]

Storage Area 42
"ah, well, my name's Shadowwing, Multiverse adventurer, nice to meet you. *Shadowwing switches the Chaos TF Gun to his left hand, and shakes Jfan's hand.*
"here, this should help you find the party, which is being held in the Cantina." *he gestures, and a glowing arrow appears in mid-air, which will lead Jfan to the Cantina, then disappear.*


Cantina
*Lumin blinks as the power readings from the Kareoke machine spike during Author's performance. as Author steps down, Lumin cues the band, which starts this song, so the machine can cool down.

[jfan999]

Storage Area 42

"thanks by the way you should put an organic/inorganic filter on those TF guns so you don't kill someone," Jfan then left for the party
