Main Room
Well, Gordon with the doodle on his chest might be waking up soon. At least the number of people around him has gotten smaller.
"Alright. We can talk at Trog's."
Well, Karyana indirectly ended up getting with Zwei because she was there with them, so she has a fairly easy time believing that.
She begins to lead/carry him there, only to realize that this takes her further from the Hatteress.
"But not yet. I need to talk to her first."
Rocid doesn't notice him at first, but he hears the comment and responds accordingly, "I think you have me confused with my brother, you know, tiny guy, slightly smaller than an earth mover. You may know him as the one who was too noble to crush your head like a fig when he had the chance. I'm not certain about the rest of you guys, but it looks to me like I'm one of the only people to come out of this fiasco with what I wanted completely unscathed. Now if you'll excuse me gatewalker, I have people to harrass that aren't you."
And he'll float off without looking back, giving Cyra a perfect shot at his back if she's willing to take it. (Rocid still looks like a thug at the moment, but his real form is in the foot of his right shoe, rather in the head of the illusion as most people would expect.)
[Outside]
Cyra isn't in the mood to start anything, and certainly doesn't want Jasper and Legion to escape without a stern talking-to.
Or at least without obtaining a copy of that tape to use as blackmail. :smallamused:
She does make a mental note to kick Rocid's sorry butt some other time, though. :smalltongue:
[Main Room]
Zefir is just watching the szenes here. He place himself near the way to the rooms and keeps watching .
"Whoever did this should be careful. I don't think Gordon will like this."
[Main Room]
"Well that was fun."
Rot grins toothily and leans back in his chair. The vampire closes his eyes, but of course he doesn't actually sleep or rest. So he's still watching everything, with his other senses. 'Watching' not being the right word, of course.
So, is the party and the chaos going over now?
((Maybe. There's still the scene with Jasper, Moff, Legion, and the Hatter that needs to be resolved, and then Jasper and Legion will probably have to deal with Cyrus. Speaking of which...))
Outside
Cyra, depending on whether or not she was able to teleport inside, is either invisible in the back seat of Jasper's Vehicle, or quite visible and leaning up against it. Either way, she's getting a tad bored.
((Karyana and the Cat Burglar are in that too, from what I remember.))
Speaking of which...
The vampire tries to drag the thief over to the Hatteress.
[Main Room - Party People!]
Spoiler
The Hatteress chases Legion around the table, a determined gleam in her eye. She won't be put-off so easily.
"What? I can't admire art in motion?"
The Hatteress retorts, a smirk crossing her face and siren's call rumbling out of every syllable of the words she so slyly and enthusiastically utters. She is panting, likely due to her heart rate escalating as a result of the sprinting. Her features are pronounced, jovial, and inviting.
And then Jasper has to drop in and spoil the moment, placing himself smack dab in the middle of The Hatteress's path.
What? Was Jasper under the impression that The Hatteress would halt merely because he placed himself between her striking goal and herself?
Nope. The Hatteress is far too motivated for that...and too far gone, but that's neither here nor there.
The Hatteress attempts to bulldoze through Jasper to leap at Legion! Watch out! She's going for the legs! :smalleek:
Party
"Look lady, I- Jasper's attempt to threaten the Hatteress is cut off mid-sentence as a Moffette tackles him, and he proceeds to flail about in panic like a headless chicken. "Ack! Somebody get it- And for the second time in all of five seconds, Jasper is interrupted by a beautiful woman tackling him, as the Hatteress sweeps him off his feet in her pursuit of Legion. This results in him tumbling to the floor, likely along with Moffette 8, possibly landing on top of the Hatteress.
He really wasn't planning on getting caught up in the chaos like this.
The Cat Burglar, meanwhile, struggles in vain as he's dragged along by Karyana.
[Party]
He can takes solace in the fact that Moffette is not a beautiful woman. For how average normal Moff is, she's probably rather plain. *nodnod*
"Take me you fool!" Said woman says before attempting sloppy makeouts with Jasper. Oh dear.
Party
Legion yelps as she suddenly loses her footing, falling flat on her face and turning over to glare at the Hatteress. "That hurt." She's about to say more when she sees Moff jumping Jasper. "Hey! Leave him alone! That's my boyfriend!"
[Party]
The Hatteress wasn't expecting Jasper to fall onto her! She thought that she'd just plow right through him and reach Legion without any considerable problems. As such she i-
"Oof!"
-s bashed to the ground and crushed under what she would claim was Jasper's immense girth.
She seems to have managed to collide with Legion before she was taken down, though.
"Get off of me you clumsy, ugly oaf!"
The Hatteress shouts as she diverts her attention to attempting to roll the presumably entangled Jasper and Moffette off of her. She probably won't have an easy time of it, being pinned underneath the crazed lovebirds and all.
Now would be a great time for Legion to successfully flee and abandon Jasper to his fate!
"I'm not letting you keep me from my one true love that easily! I'll beat you up if I have to."
Uurgh! The Hatteress wants none of Jasper and Moffette's mushy stuff! Eew! Get them off, get them off, get them off!
[Party]
Zefir starts laughing at the four, mainly at Legion and Jasper. Then he heads to the control Room to the henchman there.
[Security Room]
"Guys prepare a video for each person involved showing them self. Also could you show me the whole way the food and drinks go? I still think this trouble is caused by one of the people down there."
[Party]
Karyana tries to pull Jasper and the Moffette off of the Hatteress with three of her arms, while holding the Cat Burglar with the others.
Speaking of the Cat Burglar, has he noticed the rather extreme growth rate of the dracokitties he was given?
Party --> Party Van
Legion leaves Jasper to his dark fate, making a run for the front door while the others squabble. Once outside, she hops into Jasper's delivery van, taking a moment to catch her breath.
Shortly before it breaks up in a fit of laughter. Hoo, boy, she can't believe it worked.
Party Van
Legion forgot to account for a certain member. :smallamused:
Cyra, who I assume was able to teleport into the back seat because no one said otherwise and Legion would have had to get through her otherwise, drops her invisibility spell.
She makes no sound yet, preferring to wait until Legion notices the grinning woman's face in the Rearview Mirror.
Party Van
Legion ends up spotting something in the corner of her eye. Upon seeing just what it is, she gives a little scream, shocked and startled.
"Um... Cyrus?" She calms a little, turning to look at Cyra apprehensively. "Is that you?"
Party Van
Cyra repositions herself, moving to more of a relaxed slouch.
"Yes. The gender change was a nice touch. The constant curtaining alone would have hideously embarrassed most, but constant curtaining while genderbent? Utterly reputation-ruining."
Assuming that Cyra's magic in here isn't stopped somehow, Legion might notice the doors all locking.
Party Van
"Ah... yeah. Good plan, huh?" Legion almost makes a little 'ulp' sound as she swallows nervously. This cannot end well. And then there's the door's locking. "I can totally change you back, I mean, if you want..."
Party Van
Cyra leans a bit further back, flashing her devious grin again.
Yes, it was a clever plan. It was probably a mistake to still be here after it went off, though.
I can dispel this when I return to the Ebon Citadel. What I'm more concerned with are you and your...
...Where is he, anyway? Did you leave him in there with all of those lust-crazed women..?
Cyra laughs, though not with the mirth of friendly laughter. Something a touch more sinister.
...Lucky man. In any case, you're fortunate that it was I who figured this out. If Prometheus were here, you wouldn't even have made it this far. You would be a puddle on the ground.
((To clarify, Cyrus doesn't actually want to hurt Legion or Jasper. He actually did find all this humorous, even if he was affected by the genderswap. He just wants to scare Legion half to death, and maybe see if he can't get some blackmail on his "fellow" AMENites.))
Party!
((The Cat Burglar has indeed noticed the dracokitties rapid growth, yes))
Jasper is grabbed and smooched, throwing the already confused thief into complete confusion. Panicked, he tries to shove the first vaguely human thing he can grab away from him, but due to not being in full possession of his wits, he ends up trying to push Hatteress away instead of Moffette. Leaving the poor, unfortunate cowboy helpless against Moffette's attempts to forcefully make out with him.
[Party!]
Oh dear, Moffette gets free rein with Jaspers lips. Can you guess what happens? That's right! Gratuitous sloppy makeouts. Jasper! Don't you know you have a girlfriend?! This is most inappropriate.
[The Genderbent Party!!!]
The Hatteress wants none of this! None at all! Jasper got in The Hatteress's way allowing Legion to abscond! Now he is making out with a Moffette while The Hatteress is trapped underneath him!
ANGRY!!! :smallfurious:
"GET OFF! You idiot! You are a terrible person! Absolutely terrible! Get a room! Get a job! Get a sandvich! I don't care! Just GET OFF OF ME!"
Commence flailing about pointlessly and attempting to punch Jasper in the gut (and maybe accidentally whacking Moffette in the process)! Yeah! This plan will work!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
Becky, on the couch, hurls the remote at the TV.
"How dare they cancel Real Housewives of Riverside!" :smallannoyed:
"Um, yeah..." Legion doesn't feel all too bad about leaving Jasper. Of course he won't do any kissing back, right? Her initial fear is diminished, but not entirely gone. "So... are you going anywhere with this?"
Couch
"What is it with you people and crappy reality television?" Jack asks, suddenly flopped on the couch nearby.
Party Van
Cyra is outright slouching now.
Getting right down to the heart of this, are we?
Another slightly malevolent giggle.
I'm currently debating whether to just let you go, chain you in the Ebon Citadel, or to just drag you back to Gordon and see what he has to say about this amusingly suicidal treachery.
Cyra grins more deeply.
Why don't you tell me why exactly you chose to make such a risky move? You're too intelligent to do something this dangerous just for the laughs, so don't tell me that, either. I might be convinced to just let this pass if you can give me a good enough offer...
Party Van
"You can't make me do anything." Legion says, frowning at Cyra half-heartedly. She probably could, actually. The Lady has no armor, no Objects to weaponize. Her shapeshifted appearance is the only constant 'power', and they're meaningless to the ancient things.
On the other hand, however, Legion had considered them at least on friendly terms. "I just thought it would be funny. That's all. Shake things up a little?"
Party Van
Cyra's hardly even paying attention anymore, and isactually filing her nails, slouched in the back seat. If Legion wanted to club Cyra over the head and run for it, now would be the best time.
Oh, and it is. Hells, I'm one of the victims and I think it's funny. I suppose I was hoping you'd have security footage, or something. Leverage against a major world organization is always useful, after all.
I like you, Legion. I'd rather not see you eaten by a dragon, but at the same time, I'd be in a terrible situation if anyone caught me letting you escape. And I'm a selfish person, really. So unless you have a third option, I'm currently leaning towards dragging you to Gordon.
Nothing personal. Maybe if you're lucky, your man in there will suffer in your stead. Maybe I could give him an easy out. Maybe I'm just a bit crazy.
