On a ceramic plain...

Mike tries to befriend her spine by waving her head around and yelling in a friendly manner!

[Spine perception roll: ?]

The spine seems to look in her direction, but then lifts off the ground and begins to fly in circles!


At the site of a scary-crow battle...

Timothy tries to yell after silly old Citizen Lou!

"No! No no no! You comes back here dis instant!"

He impotently stamps his foot in empty air!

"You's captive, an' should be really acting like one! Now!"

[Citizen Lou reaction roll: 3-1]

"GO TO THE BURNING PITS, SLAVEMASTER! GO THERE AND DIE!"

[Escape roll: 3]

He keeps running, still following the road! Fortunately, he's not out of sight yet!

Timothy looks at his frankly miserably terrible allies!

"Youse going to does somethin', or just be stannin' around there like vegetables?!"

[Fred recovery roll: 3]

Fred rolls over to his other side and moans in pain!

"Oh, gods, what did I ever do to deserve something like that! Apart from all the violence and hatred, you know."

He begins to slowly get up!

[Tom recovery roll: 1]

Tom, meanwhile, has completely disappeared in the tangled bushes! In fact, it seems that he might have just plain disappeared entirely!

Jim, meanwhile, stands around and looks somewhat stupidly at Timothy!

[Jim idea roll: 2]

There is a dim look of realization in his eyes as he suddenly looks around, then goes to hide behind a tree!

Fred finally gets to his feet and turns to Timothy! He speaks in a very pained voice!

"So, what's going on?"

"Mista Lou's escaping!"

"Oh."

Fred begins to run after Citizen Lou!

[Fred pursuit roll: 1]

He takes a step, then drops to the ground once again, clutching his straw crotch!

"GOOD GODS, THE PAIN! You know, I think I might need medical attention for this. Like, right now."

[Citizen Lou escape roll: 3]

As Fred complains, Citizen Lou disappears around a bend! He's probably still following the road, but good luck catching up to him now!

So now Timothy is left with two scary-crows, what with one having disappeared mysteriously and another having escaped not-so-mysteriously.


Inside the mind of a maniac...

James tries to challenge the Poet!

"If you're a poet, then how come I've never heard you compose a single poem?"

~POEMS ARE SUCH AN ARCHAIC FORM OF EXPRESSION. MY POETRY IS ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT.~

"Poets have to write poems. It's the law."

[Poet reaction roll: 6]

~HM. PERHAPS YOU ARE CORRECT, THEN. FROM THIS DAY ON, I SHALL BE THE POET NO MORE! NOW I SHALL BE KNOWN AS THE ARTISTE! THAT'S A VAGUE WORD THAT DOESN'T ACTUALLY MEAN ANYTHING, RIGHT?~

Mike will try to attract its attention and befriend it again! It must see her eventually, right?

'Well what form of art do you follow?'
Then taunt him mercilessly.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

On a ceramic plain...

Mike tries to attract the attention of the flying spine once again!

[Shouting roll: 6]

She makes a horrible yell of utter terribleness!

[Spooky Howling roll: 1]

She yells until she can yell no more, mostly due to her vocal folds disintegrating! She also has a very, very sore throat!

[Spine reaction roll: 2]

The spine just keeps flying around and around! Ungrateful thing, after all Mike's done to attract it!


In the mental Throne Room...

James tries to find out more about the Artiste!

"So, what kind of art do you do?"

~NEFARIOUS IMPROVISATIONAL OPEN-AIR PUPPETRY WOULD BE THE BEST DESCRIPTION.~

[Mockery roll: 2]

"Yeah, well, that's just... uh... something!"

~OH, IT CERTAINLY IS.~

Mike will just wait until it sees her.

That's not an art!
Taunt him a second time!

On a ceramic plain of terror...

Mike chooses to remain completely motionless and wait until the spine sees her!

[Spine perception roll: ?]

It stares in her direction for a bit!

[Spine intelligence roll: ?]

It resumes flying in circles immediately afterward! Apparently it has no interest in her! Like, at all.


In a lunatic's mind...

James tries to taunt the Artiste for a second time!

[Mockery roll: 3]

"Nefarious improvisational open-air puppetry is totally not an art!"

~HOW SO? IT'S FUN, CREATIVE AND IT TAKES SKILL TO DO PROPERLY. SEEMS LIKE A PERFECTLY GOOD ART TO ME.~

"Nuh uh! It's totally not! Not an art, not an art, not an art, nyah nyah nyah!"

~WELL, YOU DEFINITELY SHOW ENOUGH MATURITY FOR AN ART CRITIC. YOUR OPINION HAS BEEN NOTED, GOOD SIR. NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE TO GET BACK TO WORK.~

((James, picking a fight with the RNG and winning since the beginning of this RTD.))
Mike will... just levitate to it and grab it between her teeth.

Inside a Mental Throne Room...

James tries to piss off the Artiste! All part of the master plan, you see.

"What work? You're obviously too stupid for work!"

[Artiste reaction roll: 3]

~IMPORTANT WORK. VERY IMPORTANT WORK, ACTUALLY. QUITE POSSIBLY THE SECOND-GREATEST BIT OF WORK IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. I REALLY SHOULD BE GETTING TO IT. DON'T BE A STRANGER!~


On a plain of pure ceramic...

Mike goes ahead and tries to levitate to the spine!

[Telekinesis roll: 1]

She manages to pull her head right off and make it fly toward the spine!

Hey, would you look at that. It's not actually her spine at all! It's a giant insect of some kind! That's actually quite fortunate for Mike, who is about to expire!

[Handy expiring roll: 6]

Mike's spirit leaves her body right before it hits the fly, making it highly agitated! Left with no other choice, Mike tries to possess the fly!

[Fly will roll: 1]

Shockingly enough, the fly doesn't seem to have a whole lot of mental fortitude! Who would have guessed?

Mike is now a Housefly!

((I'm hoping for a "knack for telekinesis" perk if I survive this chapter.))
Mike will fly around, trying to find an exit.

In the body of a housefly...

Mike tries to fly around, cursing her short-range fly vision as she does so!

[Exploration roll: 3]

She doesn't find a whole lot, actually - just a large wooden surface of some kind! It looks like there's milk spilled on it!

[Will roll: 6]

Mike slaps herself in the compound eye with her tongue to resist the siren song of spilled milk! It hurts like hell and makes it harder to see, which she likes just fine!

In the body of a tempted housefly...

Mike tries to fly where no fly has ever dared to fly before!

[Fly fly fly roll: 3]

She flies off and lands on yet another wooden surface! How exhilarating!
