Inbred Chocobo · 08-12-2008, 09:37 PM

IC pondered for a moment on who the girl was in front of him. He noticed Arhra coming up and introducing himself, and was just about to not care anymore when he felt something touching his tail again. He turn around quickly, shoving Big Mac off his feet and onto his butt again, this time with a bit more force.

IC looked pissed this time around, then stopped for a second as he noticed the guitar. That was when his adult's knowledge finally broke through this form, and IC became himself again, ditching his child behavior that was trying to take over. "Wait.. Big Mac? Why do you keep doing that?" He questioned, and before he could receive an answer IC spoke up some more.

"Reason I seem so familiar PhoenixFlame is because we know each other already. Inbred Chocobo is my name. You've been reverted to a kid and everyone is having mixed results apparently in how they are acting." IC spoke to PF. It felt weird to be all serious when his voice was squeaky, but he went on. "Arhra you seemed to be unaffected by this, so I'm sure you noticed it too." IC spoke up, then finally fell silent to take in everyone's responses.

Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope · 08-12-2008, 09:48 PM

Big Mac crooked his head to the side. He rubbed his bottom and felt his lip quiver. "I like your tail cause it's soft like my blanky at home."

Meanwhile in Mac's mind, Daimo was analyzing the situation. He was un affecteded by the change. He was still a prisoner in the mind, unable to escape, but he could still guage the world around him. He saw IC and was thinking. "This one seems familiar. As if not I, but Mac knows him in a different time or place."

"And what do you mean re-ver-ted? I am 6 years old, if that's what you mean?" Mac said quietly. "Can I please have a feather?"

(OOC: For the evening and tomorrow, IC will be in control of Mac)

Phoenix snerks, "YOU'RE SILLY!" She points mockingly at IC and giggles. "Stop pretending you're some silly guy from the future I've seen before. Or that we're all a conspiracy." She chuckles, "I mean, after all, memory reversion is scientifically impossible! THERE ARE GRAPHS!"

She stands up and imperiously thrusts her right arm forward. Unity confirms, and projects a graph entitled "Efficacy of new medium pulse lasers on human-sized targets" scaled by "Meters" and "Target speed in meters per second". There are blue, red, and yellow lines with varying levels bell-curve, signifying the weapon's minimum, optimal, and falloff ranges.

"Wait, Yunie, this isn't the right graph!" Phoenix shakes her hand, wobbling the holoprojection all over the place as if it's some kind of icky insect. "What is this graph, anyway?"

["Sorry, Master. I was projecting the latest graph you requested."]

"I didn't request this! You never told me you had pulse lasers! I didn't put them in, so have you been talking to strangers again?!" Phoenix flails helplessly.

["No master, you installed them while we were aboard the-"]

"This isn't funny anymore! All of you, stop pretending you're some kind of special snowflakes who have spaceships and crazy superpowers, okay?!" Phoenix snaps, sitting back down and angrily putting the finishing touches on the latest shoe in her line, "We're never going to go to the toy store if you play around all day."

The SSB Intern · 08-12-2008, 10:12 PM

Using a broken metal detector, a casserole dish, and 3 ounces of super glue, SSB constructed a relatively effective shovel which he used to dig an escape route under the table. The mice from earlier peered at him from a distance while he worked. After a few minutes, he wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at his progress.

That much?! This'll take forever!

He turned to face the vermin.

"Hey! Don't just stand there starin'! Help me dig this tunnel!"

Two mice stepped forward from the group. One had a pair of goggles; the other wore sunglasses.

"SQUEAK! Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak the heavens!"
*Smack*
SSB slapped the duo away.

"I've already referenced that! Do something else!"

...They were spent.

SSB crawled out from under the table and shouted to Nin.

"Hey Nin! Quit messin' with the door and help me dig this!"

Arhra · 08-12-2008, 10:50 PM

"Statement: I... I don't have a spaceship." Arhra V sniffed.

Something registered on Arhra V once she thought about what Inbred had said. "Query: Wait... Phoenix?"

Arhra V stabbed a finger accusingly at Phoenix. "Accusation: You're PhoenixFlame! Why do you look different? And stop lording your spaceship ownership over me!"

Arhra V's expression turned slightly sly. "Statement: Well, at least I still have my gigantic super-robot and crazy superpowers. My magic may be mainly re-routed to my integrated charm arrays and weakened further by this state, but..."

With an air of menace, she pulled out a sheet of paper and slammed it down on the table. Using her finger she drew a series of shapes and finally, with a jerky motion, held up her completed work to Phoenix.

It was an interlocking pattern of regular octogons, all the same size. There was no empty space between them.

* * *

"Hmmm, I think I did something like that once when I dabbled in summoning." Arhra I said reflectively as Phil talked about summoning. "I summoned reality while dreaming to get myself and POS to the Kurosen."

"When I need to cross dimensions, I usually just collapse everything between me and where I want to go into a non-point or if that's too hard, weld the entry and exit points to a third, easier location." Which, of course, sounded perfectly safe for all people and dimensions involved.

"The big problem is power... that sort of thing needs a lot of oomph behind it. Is there some sort of power booster you can summon? That might be handy."

I'd be better off summoning a D&D wizard and having them cast Gate. But, that wouldn't be funny, so I'm sure that would backfire. Arhra remembered something Phil had just said, using her amazing powers of recall.

"Can you summon some sort of funny power booster?" Arhra I considered alternatives. "Alternatively, we can try and think of something well anchored to ground you while you summon something that won't come... Or what if we just tie everyone to you so they get pulled along too?"

Intern Nin · 08-12-2008, 11:08 PM

Nin looked at the door in disbelief.

Huh, that's strange. Usually, something random and hilarious to everyone else besides me stops me from succeeding in my plans by now. Does this mean I've actually pulled off the perfect plan? Impossible, this must be a trap!

Nin pulled out his cosmic battery, which was the only weapon he had on him that he was not likely to injure himself wielding. He held it out in front of him and cautiously made his way out the door.

phil_ · 08-12-2008, 11:28 PM

"Well, right now, I don't think I can summon anything but that pink pile of scabs and teeth." Phil replied. "Also, Arhra and kid in the orange cape, when I said anchor, I meant an anchor to pull myself towards, not an anchor to keep me from getting pulled. Though, that'd be a good idea if we ever needed a god's help."

Phil thought for a moment. "Listen, I'll try to think up a power booster that could maybe let you bust spacetime a new hole, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to summon it until we're out of here and back to norm... normal-ish."

Intern Nin · 08-12-2008, 11:53 PM

Nin was greeted by two cartoonishly large, white gloves standing in front of the door.

"Ah, there it is."

The two gloves grabbed Nin, gave him a sound spanking, took away his blowtorch, and threw him into the pile of shoes. Nin pulled himself out the pile and looked over at the doorway where the gloves were now saying something in sign language. They signed "Stop being a little brat and get back to work or else you won't get your daily meal." The gloves clapped and the door shut, except now it had a bigger and stronger lock on it.

Well, glad to see that the universe is functioning normally at least.

Nin got up and dusted himself off.

"Well, the front door's a no go. Anybody else got a plan for escaping this place?"

Steel Shadow · 08-13-2008, 01:24 AM

"Oh. Then I'll think of a power source! I'm a helper! Lemme think!" Steel yelled, which was quite unnecessary, since he was standing right next to everyone.

"Um.. well, maybe if you did it like in my favourite show! Yeah, Nuklear Power Hour! Have you seen it? It's the one where there's these four super heroes, Commander Meister, Sergeant Krylo, Admiral RaiRai, lead by Captain Shiney, go on a quest to save the Damsel hobo Fenris who gets kidnapped, like, every week, an then when the really big bad guys come along the all gather their power together and summon the mecha-Kurosen and Mecha-Mashirosen and blow stuff up and sometimes the mysterious sixth hero of destiny Fifth shows up and he summons his really powerful sidekick Jesus, and that's super cool! And then once they save the Damsel hobo they ride around blowing more stuff up and keeping the population under their mighty iron heel, using the power of bannation and tyranny. Then after every episode there's a little special bit where the team gives a moral to everyone, like "Listen to your superior mods or you'll be banned" or "Don't let us see you flaming discussion, or you're banned" or Fifth's super awesome "Hell, don't let us see your ugly faces or so Fucking banned!". That was a great episode." Steel paused, panting for breath a little.*

"Yeah, so summon the kurosen, that used to power the city, didn't it? And I'm Steel by the way."

*Y'know, with kids shows like this, is it any wonder they all turned out the way they did?

phil_ · 08-13-2008, 01:41 AM

Phil was getting kind of frustrated. Somewhere in his head, he realized that he was acting like a kid, but he didn't care. "I already said I can't summon anything right now, and I already said that I can't summon Kurosen!" Phil snapped. "I'm totally worthless, ok?! Is that what you wanted me to say?! Well, I already did; try listening, geeze!"

Phil stormed off to the corner, yelling at himself on the way about what an idiot he was for snapping at people and being a drama queen, but doing nothing to fix the situation.
