AMEN XXVII: You all saw it, the orphanage attacked US!

[Darkcomet]

The portable hole floats over GM, and then drops on him.

This, I have to see.

[happyturtle]

"What happened on the Turtle show? They didn't have a television in Candyland."

[Darkcomet]

Here's what we got. She teleported out of GLoG, so we still don't know everything. But we do know that Draken has made his move. Look at the camera records-Draken attacked directly.

DC looks back at the screen.

There's a portal in the GLoG kitchen.

A while later...

Something is wrong in there... Particularly with that Czernov guy.

[Atomsized]

Atomsized burst out of his room wearing a technicolor dreamcoat and 3D glasses in which he can see percetly through.

What? The colors are mezzzzzmerizinngggggg!

[Darkcomet]

Atom's 3D glasses fly off of him and float out of reach.

Anyone besides Atom want these?

[happyturtle]

"Me! Me! Me!" Decker says, jumping up and down. (She's in her teenage girl shape rather than swan form.)

[Darkcomet]

Here you go.

They float over to Decker so she can take them.

[happyturtle]

Decker snatches them and puts them on. Then takes them off, eats the blue cellophane, and puts them back on again, with just the red one working.

"Mmm... thanks!" She gives DC a big hug.

[Atomsized]

Nooooo! Mah glasses!

[Darkcomet]

Can't... Breathe...

[Draken]

Thousands of centipedes, normal and monstrous, crawl from the hindrances into the lower floors, the staircases and the ceiling, swarming the room utterly with a 1 foot tall layer of the odious vermin.

Oh yea, they bite.

A lot.

What made you think I would leave you alone kids?

Draken's bodiless voice echoes in the air, followed by the clatter of his lower jaws.

Kind of a laugher there.

[happyturtle]

Decker shrieks, and tugs DC through the portal to Candyland.

There are lollipops there.

Also some centipedes that fell through the portal too.

[Darkcomet]

The centipedes that fell through are telekinetically smashed against each other.

Nice save.

[happyturtle]

"Wanna see the Gumdrop Mountains?"

[Darkcomet]

Might as well, since I'm not headed back to AMEN until all those things are gone. Luckily, I have a laptop with access to Fullbladder's Camerazard network, so we'll know when it's, er, centipede-free.

[Draken]

The centipedes sudenly vanish.

[happyturtle]

"Yay! Let's go back! I'm sure it's not just a ruse to lure us into a trap of utter evil!"

Decker and DC drop through a protal back into AMEN.

[Darkcomet]

Decker, wait---

DC is dragged back in.

---I think it's a trap.

[Draken]

It's a trap.

The centipedes are invisible.

Mass Hold Person.

[Darkcomet]

What did I do now!?

[happyturtle]

Decker is held. But can still talk, because otherwise, this would be a boring post. "Er, I think we just existed in the wrong place..."

[Darkcomet]

((Wait a second. Does Hold Person affect mental abilities? If not... :D))

[Draken]

Well. For one. I despise all of your kind. Godspawn.

You aren't any well in my book either.

Draken dismisses the invisibility on the centipedes, so Decker and Darkcomet are now being eaten alive by Draken's vermin.

And, now, I will enjoy the show. Do scream, I feed on your suffering.

(It forbids you from moving)

[happyturtle]

Decker is eaten alive and screams and suffers and stuff.

[PirateMonk]

PM puts on a gas mask and floods the base with love potion fog, just to test the effects on the centipedes.

[Darkcomet]

((Just from moving, huh...))

NO!



The centipedes start flying up to be smashed against the ceiling, off of Decker and DC. I don't know if Hold Person doesn't work that way, but this is AMEN. Rules have no meaning.

[Draken]

As mindless creatures moved solely by instinct. Centipedes are immune to emotions.

Hey, those are my bugs!

Histerical Laugher!

While Hold Person allows mental actions, Histerical laugher does not, it only lets you laugh.

[happyturtle]

Decker is eaten alive, and screams and laughs and suffers and stuff, while inhaling love potion fog and falling madly in love with DC, PM, Draken, and a few dozen centipedes.

But doesn't die. Even though somewhere in all the suffering she really wishes she would.

[PirateMonk]

PM tries casting an epic spell based off the Fortify seed to grant all the centipedes in the base an Intelligence score.

[Darkcomet]

DC is allergic to love potion.

He dies. Corpse flies to hospital and he returns with a gas mask and a vacuum-filter.

I repeat myself. NO!

The centipedes are smashed against each other and the floor. And the walls, and the ceiling. There's bug guts everywhere, but it's well worth it.

He then sucks up the love potion gas with the vacuum.
