Going to make a new sheet right now, I think.

Spoiler: Elephant Santa (click to show/hide)

Can we keep kill rewards when we switch avatars? Assuming we don't lose them when we die, of course. Also, I would expect the sleigh and the presents used by Tidings of Doom (separate from Mystery Presents) to be hammerspace items that don't exist except when the skills are used.

((That's all fine. You keep kills across all characters. Inventories and items in general are all Hammerspace to begin with. Uh...You don't lose them when you die, but you do get penalties if you get a certain number of deaths.

Would you like to switch out now?))

Sure. I'm glad we can switch out whenever. I plan to switch between Santaphant, Elephant, and Paradephant. I might make some more, too.

Well, if you only switch out while dead, that shouldn't be an issue. But in that case, I don't think I'll swap quite yet.

Elephant Parade trumpets.

Swapping to holiday avatars should totally be a free action, though. Maybe not when quite this far from a holiday.

Fly southerly. Drink MonkeyHead. Go to the central platform.
[N/A] Fly? PAH, Dogs can't fly! Unless they're air bud. Or in a plane. But you are neither of those things! For now, playing fetch sounds really good.

"Hey, is anyone here working for Biggs? Or Bad Boy? Or from the East?"

Tupac Shakur drums his right hand on the top of the steering wheel, the other clutching his Mac-10. If anyone comes close, blast 'em.
[N/A] Hm. Nobody seems to be doing anything. Or answering you. Maybe if you did, like, donuts, it'd get their attention. Or maybe they just don't wanna mess with a rapper as gangsta as you.

Nah, probably just haven;t gotten their attention yet.

Where did the weight go? Where did the noise go? Where did the speed go? VULNERABLE. AFRAID. ANGRY.

Allow myself to be drunk - partially. While being swallowed, make an effort to get into the breathing apparatus of the dragon/dog thing and drown it.
[N/A] You prepare for the worst...and find it doesn't come. You watch as the golden dog thingy down below rolls around in the grass absently, and would scratch your head while emitting a deep sigh if you had arms, a head, and a mouth.

"Oh hey, another thingy. I better not die instantly to something stupid this time."

Fire a glob of acid upon the toaster.
[2 Vs. 1+1] Finally, some action! Or, rather a lack of it.

You focus a bit of energy and launch a blob of acidic goo onto the pipe where that orange toaster is. For some reason. It's not like it's a thre-HOLY SHIT THAT GUY'S ON FIRE NOW.

The distraction costs you, as the blob lands just behind the appliance, as it rolls slowly down that pipe. For some reason, the acid doesn't melt through the pipe. Hm...Interesting.

The appliance has watched for too long.  Now was the time to act.

Launch flaming toast at the Canadian.
[4+1 Vs. 2+1] How did you even sign the application!? Whatever, appearifying the bread in...well, yourself, you set it ablaze and launch it at that red and white dude! It lands on his foot, setting his boot on fire. He doesn't...really seem to notice it, though. Which is weird for someone who's on fire.

What's also weird is that you appear to be moving. Without legs. Hmm...

Wait...Shit! You appear to be rolling slowly down that long pipe you landed on, and narrowly avoid being melted alive(?) by, like, an inch. Phew!

Ugh. Too many trees, not enough buildings...
The Question attempts to make himself scarce, by climbing down to the bottom level and hiding amongst the foliage.
[4] Luckily, the ledge isn't that high, and you can just hop down and hide among the bushes. You don't stand out in that white and pink of yours, no! Not at all! You are the frikkin MASTER of camouflage right now, man.

Head towards The Question and as far away from as possible.
[4] You make your way towards the ledge that white and pink guy jumped down, and look over it. Huh. Strange. It appears he's disappeared. Suddenly, you feel a bit of an impact at your foot, and look down to see some kind of...flaming...bread? Whatever it is, it's lit you on fire and it BURNS. But you manage to maintain your cold exterior for the cameras. No need to show weakness when representing your nation, eh?

James squinted at the water. Yeeaahhh... No way he was fighting that. As such, James runs in the other direction, towards the Toaster, in an attempt to PUNCH it.
[3-2] Fucking hell, man. Running is haaaaard. Running sucks, and therefore you refuse to do it and instead just watch as the toaster rolls down the pipe towards that middle area.

It really was a beautiful day, to properly appreciate such a good day Lacie lay down on her back and watched the clouds above trying to see if she could make out any shapes in them
[4] Oooh! That one's a rabbit! And that one's a horse! And that one's a...hm. What IS that?

Eh, whatever. Now where were wEHOLY SHIT THAT'S AN ELEPHANT.

Changing my action too.
And Artemis has no problem with death, in case you hadn't got the message yet :P

Go after the nearest sucker. If they shoot, use my time control to pause or slow time and dodge dat projectile. ATTACK.
And reminder that all of you signed up for a death fight. Whether you realized it or not.
...
-.-
Fine, changing my action.
Spawn my arm-cannon on my right arm, run up the ramp to the elevated position and open fire on whoever I have the clearest shot at. Do NOT lose my grip on my schoolbag with my left arm. I haven't done my homework yet!
[3+1 Vs. 4+5] Despite your Time-Slowing abilities, he is just plain unable to keep up with the schoolgirl. It's almost like she...cancels it out with her speed! Wow. You've never met an opponent like this...

...

You manage to outrun that dweeb back there, even when it feel like everything around just slows down for a moment, and turn around, aiming your newly materialized arm-cannon at him.

[6 Vs. 2+1]
The blue plasma-like blast goes off, obliterating Artemis' arm and sending him flying at the wall of rock and dirt behind him. Eugh. And that was his writing hand! Boooooo.

Trample person that requires me to go out of the way the least.
[2 Vs. 1+1]
Seeing as you really wouldn't want to harm another animal, you decide to go for...that girl over there. The distracted-ish one. Yeah. You stomp over to her and lift up your leg to stomp, only for her to leap up and dodge out of the way at the last second. Phooey. It's hard being an elephant.

((You know, if you're counting the toast as a ranged attack and therefore dex, I probably statted poorly.  Good thing the next skill would be an int-related one...))



Acid.  Hmm... trouble.

Charge toward the center, and toast the elephant.

Artemis' vision was blurry. He looked down to his left arm and found: nothing.

"Oh dear. Rachael's going to have to fix that up later." Artemis sighed out of pain. That was just how he dealt with it.

Fast-forward myself in time, so that I may gain speed and surprise attack whoever shot me.
