Inside a house of some sort...Luke, intent on manipulating forces far greater than himself into doing his bidding, tries to blaspheme for fun and profit!
"FUCK! HEY, GODS, OVER HERE, I'M BEING BLASPHEMOUS! I HOPE YOU DON'T TURN ME INTO AN ANIMAL OR SOMETHING!"Absolutely nothing at all happens once again. It appears the gods care not for his fancy reverse psychology. Well, either that or they figure being a pink vortex is punishment enough.
In a taxidermist's shop...Tom, after thanking his kind surgeon, decides to try and find his master once again, considering how he's the only actual person he's seen and hasn't murdered or dismembered recently. He walks up to Bernie and taps the half-naked fellow on the shoulder, preparing the best (worst) approximation of a flirtatious visage he can manage.
Bernie turns around.
"Baby, let me just tell you one thing: I can play the hairy banjo in ways you cannot hope to imagine!"[Bernie will roll: 6]
Bernie emits a shrill high-pitched scream and throws a desperate punch!
[Bernie vs. Tom: 2 vs. 6]
However, the poorly considered, instinctive attack goes wide and Bernie lands right into Tom's arms, at which point they share a moment of staring deeply into each other's eyes!
[Bernie will roll: 2]
This continues for a good minute as Bernie looks to be utterly paralyzed by the proceedings!
Yorinnsud, meanwhile, stands by and looks amused.
Meanwhile, back at the shop,
Mark is attempting to turn himself into a skeletal hedgehog! So, nothing unusual there.
[Mark medicine roll: 2]
Sadly, he can't really find any appropriate spikes in the area. There's a few antlers, sure, but they are hardly the menacing spikes one would hope to put on their backs.
Well, at least there's some screaming from outside to cheer him up. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that.
In undefined space...Timothy carefully evaluates his position at the moment and the perks of all of the options presented. After exercising his spectral intellect, he decides in favor of two options: guidance... and fireworks!
"How abouts dis? If I gives you alla da fireworks displayed you wants, you's be teachin' me them magic-trick-things what you learns here? All dat eye-blinkin' going places an' stuff. Mebbe dat can helps me get home an' what-nots. Yes?"[Hippo helpfulness roll: 5]
"Oh, you know how to tug at an old traveler's heartstrings. Of course I will help you. It's been so long since I've had any company, you know. It is so wonderful to have somebody else with me. I will teach you to the best of my ability. The only question is, are you ready?"Credit for the words "hairy banjo" goes to
this thread,and I cannot thank Kay12 for them enough.
