NPF Avatars IV, Chapter VI: Imprisoned with the Maniacs - Page 10

The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk · 10-12-2006, 07:59 AM

Hawk watched as The swelled up... and up... and up.

"Arhra's gonna be pissed!!", he sighed. No doubt HE would get the blame for this, just like last time.

It was then that The exploded, in a shower of guts, slime, and trolls. "Oh crap!", he sighed again, as he turned and fled back towards the forest in an attempt to outrun the wall of exploded Capitalist. He ducked behind a tree and landed hard on the ground just as the mass of.... bits, caught up and were promptly halted by the tree. He cautiously looked around the side of his shield and saw Arhra standing there several metres away and looking murderous. Hawk ducked back behind his hiding place, keeping out of sight.

"Think I'll just stay here for a few minutes and re-couperate", he thought to himself, as yet again, some flying pink elephants flew past his vision before they melted into non-existance.

IC stood under some fruit tree. For defeating the evil Capitalist, IC decided he needed some victory fruit. He took a bite, and chewed for a second. Then spat it out on the ground. "Nasty peice of crap." IC mumbled under his breathe in fustration as he tossed the fruit over his shoulder. And then the fruit just so happened to hit Thod in the face as he chased after Newb.

"Well, I'm glad that's over," Mauve muttered, brushing away the vines that seemed to have gone into shock as soon as their gelatenous master kicked the proverbial bucket. The plants twitched slightly and the whispering started back up again, but they did nothing else to try and stop her. "Getting our asses kicked by a Jelly-Jiggler wannabe and an army of plantlife isn't exactly an ego-booster."

Mauve moodily kicked a branch out of the way and looked out into the forest, searching for the way to the cayatid and the end of this part of the "adventure." The path to their left looked rather promising.

"Okay," Mauve said. "Let's get out of this place. The stench of baconfruit is getting on my nerves. Somebody grab Ahrha and let's go." She waved vaguely in the direction she guessed they should go, and started to walk off into the forest.

Skyshot · 10-13-2006, 02:24 PM

The sonic boom roused Skyshot out of his nigh-catatonic daze. After a minute of getting his wits back together, he looked up.

"Ugh...did we win?" He scanned the field and noted the disgusting remains of his opponents and unconscious leader. "Yeah, I'll call that a win. Cure Serious." He immediately felt better, at least physically. "Well, off we go. Whoa, hang on." He searched through his gear and took out all the baconfruit. "I don't think I want this anymore." He immediately threw all of them as far into the forest as possible. "Let's hope the trolls go for that." He set off after Mauve Mage, hoping nothing bad could come of it.

Lumaes · 10-14-2006, 03:48 AM

Lumaes struggled out of the ruined mess that was once a miracle of primitivism in engineering. After squirming out from the broken timbers he took a quick few bounds to escape the destroyed machine, which promptly caught fire.
�Damn that stupid bird�
The spectre made his way unsteadily over to the unpleasant remains of The Capitalist, tut-tutting dramatically,
�You were too fat for this world�, he uttered in a melancholy tone before promptly snatching the abandoned stove-pipe hat and settling it on his own head. He grinned � apparently very pleased with this new acquisition. Only when he was very sure he had it perched just so did he turn to examine the rest of the battlefield.

The first thing he noticed was the retreating figures of Mauve and Skyshot, although truly in his current drugged state they actually appeared as two large floating cubes with a beautiful mural of bizarrely Mauve and Skyshot-like amphibians on each side.
�Hoy there! You are going the wrong way! You mustn�t go that way, visiting hours are over and the nurse likes to stick unwelcome visitors with her hypodermic needles. You must come this way�, so saying the shadowy figure hopped along a string of invisible (to all but him), paving tiles. As if to forestall criticism he cracks his knuckles, sighing tiredly,
�I do work here remember? I forgot the way but I�m off-shift now so I remember perfectly. Did you ever hear of a worker getting lost once they weren�t being paid to find the tax, accounting and acquisitions office? No you haven�t!�; the particular vehemence in his tone showed that he would brook no arguments.
�So clean off that ink and follow!�
He began to hopscotch off, hat swaying atop his head as he hopped from one fictional suspended platform to another.

From inside the hat, something squirmed, and out came a small orange blob. Already there was a small pile forming not too far away from the remains of The Capitalist. A weak voice could be heard saying "Guys? Skyshot? Mauve? Little help please?"

Steel Shadow · 10-16-2006, 05:31 AM

Steel was not in a good mood. One of the turn offs of flying was that it made it difficult to sheild without warning. And so he was now covered in capitalist remains from the neck down.
"Gross" he groaned as he wiped the ooze off. He wiped faster when parts of it started moving. "I don't suppose anyone has a repair clothing spell?" he asked, noticing the state his clothes were in. His numerous battles had taken quite a toll on them.
He lowered himself to just above the ground and tenatively prodded it with his foot. When no vines burst from the ground and throttled him he decided it was probably safe to start walking. He stepped down and promptly tripped over a root he could of sworn hadn't been there 2 seconds ago.
"Ok, that's it. Lets just get this over with." Steel muttered as he pushed himself back to his feet. He stalked over to Arhra, slung her over his shoulder and followed Muave and Skyshot whith the determination of someone who thinks things can't get any worse.

Mauve stopped in her tracks as she heard someone call her name.

"Buh?" she asked intelligently, looking down at the orange slime scattered around the remnants of the battlefield. She had almost forgotten Flarecobra's current state. "Oh, right. Sorry 'bout that."

She crouched down, very carefully avoiding coming in contact with anything that was gooey and green or orange.

"That can't have been a fun experience," Mauve remarked to Flarecobra. "Lesseee..." She tapped her fingertips against her chin, contemplating. "Oh, I know. Regen." She extended a hand towards the largest pile of Flare-slime, and after a moment, all of the slime bits scattered around the area began to glow as they were drawn towards it like magnets. This would speed up Flare's reformation, with any luck.

Mauve looked over her shoulder at the slightly insane Lumaes. He claimed to know where he was going... but then again, he also claimed they were covered in ink and were likely to get stabbed by angry nurses. That kind of thing tends to ruin one's credibility.

"So I take it we're all still lost," she remarked flatly.

Tarrin · 10-17-2006, 05:55 PM

Tarrin stood, his combat form sliping from him like a cloak.
"Wow that guy was one heavy son of a.." he didn't finnish the sentence
Looking around he noticed Mauve helping flare assemble and a few of the others starting to wander off in another direction.

Being the gentelmen he is he waited with mauve while their gelatonus comrade pulled themself together.

Flarecobra · 10-18-2006, 12:12 AM

"Thanks Mauve, though you know that it's not toxic, and safe to touch....." I said, my voice sounding a bit stronger as more of me reassembled. "And yes, it was quite painful."
