[NEXUS] HALO 165: Disturbing the Fishy Neighbors Since Forever

[Quinsar]

I'lkl be here now. I'm here now!
He says, appearing.
He is seated upon a horse sized giraffe. So slightly smaller and longer than a real giraffe.

[FireFox]

Ouch. I'm sorry to he-wait, did you put all sorts of cool gadgets in your prosthetics? Like a laser cannon in your arm, x-ray vision in your eye, and a confusing canon in your leg?
Tobias knows all about confusing canons.

[Beans]

Confusing canon in her leg? I dunno if there's room for Homestuck in there.
I SHOULD TOTALLY DO ALL OF THAT.
---
Carrie blinks.
... Classic Quinsar.
I need your help summoning a wolf demon guy. He's my granddaughter's friend.

[Quinsar]

CanI do a ridiculous ritual?

[FireFox]

... Okay, it's not like I really know you at all... But the cursory information I have on you (Spying with the base cameras) says that you do Mad SCIENCE! But are you telling me that you built yourself a new hand and eye and they don't have any cool gadgets?

[Beans]

... The eye has a zoomy thing on it.
And I left room for toasters and coffee strainers and Decepticons and stuff. I'm getting around to it.
She shrugs.
---
Carrie rolls her eyes.
It's not like I can stop you.

[Quinsar]

You coulod try. What's the demon's name?Gyhar.
Alright,let me work.

[FireFox]

Ah... Okay then. Good luck with your projects.

[Beans]

She nods.
Thanks!
---
Carrie watches Quinsar do his thing.

[Quinsar]

He stuffs a hunk of cheese andfoil into the microwave along with a small bottle of gasoline looking liquid. He sets it to an hour and waits....

[FireFox]

Tobias gives the hand and eye another look before smiling. Is there anything I can do for you, Pesty?

[Beans]

Not that I can think of, but thanks.
---
Carrie waits, trusting his totally wacky judgement.

[Quinsar]

At the 2 minute 30 mark he screams.
MAGIC!
And the oven explodes, leaving behind a cake made out of bacon.

[FireFox]

All righty then. Tobias returns to his Greek copy of Iphigenia at Aulis. Hmmm...

[Beans]

((Unrelated: Xerxes flogging the sea was the best thing I have ever read in any Greek class ever. Such a wacky guy.))
She trots off.
---
Carrie stares.
I should not be surprised.
((... Bad trip. ))

[Quinsar]

And now we feed it to the giraffe!
He feeds it to the giraffe.

[FireFox]

((Hah, Caligula once went to war against Neptune, God of Oceans by having his men hit the water with their swords and collect seashells as spoils of war.))

Tobias continues reading the play that will be relevant in the future. Pesty or someone else could talk to any of my other characters.

[Beans]

((Zeus: Sleep with a bunch of mortals on the side. Hera cheats once, tie her to the sky with anvils tied to her ankles.
Further supporting my belief that Greek and Roman religion was driven by the idea that the gods were the absolute least pleasant people possible and would kill people for doing anything. And that is awesome.))
Pesty may find... Angela! I'm sparing Kyne for now.
---
...
Yeah.

[Quinsar]

And then the giraffe goes to the abyss and the man comes back!
The giraffe is gone.

[FireFox]

((Part of Toby's original character concept came from when I thought: "What if there was a badass who wasn't going to let such a bad pantheon screw with mortals?" ))

Angela can be found in the Infirmary, bolting down energy drinks and using a computer program to become a Certified First Responder.

[Beans]

Uhhhhwhat.
---
Pesty watches her become a first aidy lady.

[Quinsar]

Your daughter's friend is coming.
A human begins to form.

[FireFox]

Ventricular tachycardia? What the crap is this crap? Why is this AED thingy so hard to use? I don't know how people can survive without magic. This modern medicine stuff is so complicated, but, like, a cure spell is just saying a few words, waving your hand around, and boom! Insta-healed. The foxgirl Scowls at the screen, then notices the catgirl and cheerily waves. Hey it's Pesty! Hi Pesty! How are you doing?
... Why did I decide she should have energy drinks?

[Beans]

Carrie waits.
---
Pesty is excited because Angela seems excited and her own excitedness makes Pesty even more excited and everything is now exciiiiiiteeeddddd.
Hiya Angela! What's the things? Are you training to become a...
A...
What's on the 'puter?

[FireFox]

Angela spins around on her wheeled chair. I want to become, like, a modern paramedic, but this computer program is making me get certified as this "first responder" and then all the Emergency Medical Technician levels before I can. Most of the stuff is super-basic, but some stuff, like how to treat heart attacks or whatever are, like, totally complicated.

[Quinsar]

This man forms:

Wahuh?...
He looks scared.

[Beans]

Don't you have to punch the person in the sternum and then hook them up to a power line or something?
---
Hey, hey, you're safe now.

[Quinsar]

Gyhar!
You're here!
He's about 21 years old.
Good... I, I have miss protecting you.
Granny, this is Gyhar...

[FireFox]

Well... sorta, I guess. See, when a person's heart is, like, all wonky, either all shaky like someone trying to walk after having sex with me or really sped up, you totally have to use this little machine. Angela jumps up and skips over to the Automatic External Defibrillator mounted on the wall, taking it out for Pesty to look at.

[Beans]

Nice to meet you.
Thank you for keeping my granddaughter safe...
---
Pesty pokes around it and reads the manual and stuff.
So you slap these things on the guy's chest.
And then it shoots electricity into his heart.
I have so many ideas right nowwwww.
She giggles madly.
