What's that? This is an Überupdate! What's that mean? Two days! That makes this day 11 and 12, of course.
Wait, why'd I do two days? Well, there was some weirdness with the stairs that took forever to resolve, and then going to the catacombs took up a lot of time, too. Between the two items, it literally took half of day 11. So, you get to enjoy two days!
Wait, where is Wolfeyez going?
Holy crap, something smells bad in the living room. No time for that now, though.
Shut up and get in the van! No time to explain!
Everybody up, this is not a drill!
Yes, we can all fit in one van. Don't think about the implications of that.
RedKing is the last one to the van. He may have to sit on Vector's lap. Oh, the humanity.
Finally, we're off.
...and we're here. Where are we?
Everyone into the catacombs, single file! HUP HUP HUP!
Our little field trip has made quite a line to get in.
Vector heads right back out, having very quickly found a flaming trap of some kind.
Burnt Pies is right behind Vector.
Japa follows them. Apparently, he followed them into the same trap. All three of them went in, then came out right after one another. The difference is that Japa came away with an Unknown Special Seed!
Right after them is Yoink. He decides that they should all go home.
Japa actually has to go to work. Not sure how he shed his burnt-crisp-ness, but whatever. He's probably used to it by now.
Wolfeyez is the next casualty. She'll be waiting to drive the van back home.
Ah, home sweet burnt smelling home.
Japa's workplace. Swank.
Vector is inspecting some seeds! Unfortunately, she fails to identify them.
Yoink heads back to bed after a shower.
Wolfeyez, too. Let's start today over, shall we?
Burnt Pies sits down with a piece of deep fried fish.
Vector gets to work planting the seeds that she can plant. For now the special ones will have to wait.
Not-so-Burnt Pies gets back to work on a book.
After Wolfeyez' very short nap, she's up and cleaning like an anti-tornado again.
When the hell did I get home? And why did no one tell me? Anyway, I found an Uncommon seed in the crypts. I handed it to Vector.
Then I got to work in the garden. I need a stepladder.
scrdest and the tomato he found in the catacombs. Yes, he's eating it. No, I don't know how old it is. He also found a Cortado Bean seed, an uncut Emerald, and a piece of unsmelted Carbon Steel.
Kal sits down with a cup of joe and some pancakes. In the catacombs, Kal found a piece of Tungsten Carbide, another Cortado Bean seed, and an Unknown Rare Seed! All the seeds have been going to Vector.
Barbarossa is meeting a coworker.
Say what you want, the man's got game.
While he was in the area, he's decided to turn in an opportunity. It's worth $500!
Before Barbarossa gets started flirting with this one, he'll show that he's learned from RedKing's mistakes. "You're not married, are you?"
She's not! Let the creeping commence!
Vector is so hungry that she'd eat a deep fried eggplant. Sadly, that's not an option. She's decided on a deep fried candy bar, though, which cannot be good for her.
Yoink is having some bread from the food replicator.
There's no way these two can be up to any good.
I've got some replicated buffalo wings. Score! Wolfeyez cleaned out the deep fryer.
Sappho brought home a Magic Jelly Bean tree. She's tasted one of the beans, and it tastes like sadness. Poor Sappho.
RedKing mocks Vector for being grumpy. No way that could end poorly.
"U wot m8? I swer on me mum! I'll fokkin cut yer!"
Not exactly the paladin version of "lay on hands".
Vector vs RedKing! Fight! I am incredibly tired of their crap.
RedKing has learned the secret of face-push-no-jutsu!
Nooooo! The facepush is failing! scrdest looks on in mild amusement.
He's not going to help, though. I'm headed in to break it up.
Didn't get there soon enough, though, and Vector has trounced RedKing pretty soundly.
Pretty sure this picture says it all.
"Aw, damn, I got here late! I wanted to put a bet on someone."
Meanwhile, someone (RedKing) found a pink diamond in the catacombs and I'm cutting it into lots and lots of money. He also found a sunstone that I cut.
BP has started sneezing. This can't be good.
scrdest plans to eat a turkey leg.
Vector goes back to identifying seeds, like her name is Deckard Cain. The plants will be happy to stay awhile and listen.
Japa's returned from work, and has decided to pay the bills. Good man.
Wolfeyez still on her cleaning binge.
BurntHaus is still going strong.
Sappho decides that bed is the best place to be.
Meanwhile, Barbarossa has spent all day talking to that girl. Who is that masked woman?
Yoink and Vector in the garden.
I'm finishing up cutting all the gems from the catacombs. Today was a good day.
scrdest puts on some rockin' tuneage.
RedKing and Kal talk trash. Literally.
RK then just passes the fuck out on the floor. Dude, I know it's a nice floor and all, but you have a bed.
Kal, you have a bed as well. Srsly.
Barbarossa invites mystery girl on a date.
Yoink is skinny dipping in the hot tub. Well played.
Vector thinks about fishing for some reason. Probably so she can fertilize those new plants. That's stone cold, Vector. I would pity the fish, but they are food after all.
Vector and Wolfeyez enjoy some rare gossip time.
So that's what she looks like under the mask.
They are all set to have a fancy meal. Barbarossa pays, of course. Using the Haus' credit card, of course.
This ended much better than expected. Also, I think Barbarossa is confused about what's going on here.
He then drives her home like a proper gentleman.
Date success! Also, he didn't kill himself with the two-ton explosion driven machine!
Barbarossa tries a jelly bean. It is very hot.
"Aw, man, I just wanted some waffles!"
Burnt Pies will take her slightly soggy crepes instead. She does not look impressed.
"Ayy, you can't hit me. Can't even touch me." Wolfeyez and I are playing catch, by the way.
Sappho's back up and reading a cookbook.
She then finds one of Barbarossa's Spicy Meatball Beans.
Japa finds a jellybean that gives him a serious case of the blues.
He keeps eating them, though.
That one's also hot. For a different reason, though. Japa has been set on fire again!
Run away, it burns! Fleeeeeee!
Sappho has decided to hit the weights! Not very many weights, but still. Good effort.
BP has been on a computer watching all the jellybean antics and tries her hand.
She also gets the blues. Maybe this will help with drumming?
This is not going well. Maybe you should stop, BP.
That looks promising. She's feeling Oddly Powerful.
Japa has decided to work away the blues. It didn't come off in the shower.
The perils of sleeping in.
Vector has smuggled a banana in her inventory. Yoink can't help but roll his eyes and make a joke about it being for scale.
You're supposed to peel that!
scrdest and the magic jelly beans. Good name for a band?
Apparently not. scrdest is feeling deathly embarrased about something.
This looks promising.
scrdest is All Glowy. Literally.
Vector gets more help in the garden. It's making us quite a bit of money, so why not?
Kal tries out the jellybeans, while scrdest plays guitar.
Kal is all glowy, too!
RK and Barbarossa want to be glowy! No shoving, though.
That didn't turn out the way they wanted.
Maybe the band will be called the Glow...somethings.
Wolfeyez works her magic on the deep fryer.
Vector, you cannot deep fry a lemon, sorry.
She'll just eat it plain, I guess.
Sappho gets back to work with the chainsaw. VRRRRRR
BluKing goes out for a jog.
BP asks Kal to join the band as a keyboardist. Kal is unsure.
A blue Japa on a pink bicycle. Now I've seen everything.
RedKing sees one of his married admirers about town. He rejects her advances again.
scrdest adds Barbarossa to the band as the bassist. He's pretty good at keeping time.
Vector and BP play some video games.
An army decends on the garden. Not going to take all day this time.
Meanwhile, RedKing is still out and about. He's trying to drop an item off to this woman, who is busy trying to have a baby. RedKing is panicking.
He calls her a cab and heads back home.
Operation Barbarossa Corndog is go.
Japa has made...this thing. I don't know what it is, but it looks neat.
RedKing will not be bested by Vector again. Bootkick, activate!
BP has decided to finish her day.
Wolfeyez is done with your nonsense, too.
I thought Japa already paid the bills? I have no idea what's going on.
That is one classy sculpture. It sells for almost a grand, too. Well done, Sappho.
Be free, my little fruits. It will be safe in here.
Japa made another thing. I sold both of them.
It's safe in there. SAFE TO GET STEPPED ON! Muahahaha! *ahem* Right. He used 5 lemons and 5 apples, at any rate.
Barbarossa is chatting up his new ladyfriend.
I promote thee to white belt. Not ready for facepunching yet, but getting there.
Japa has made a Harvester for the garden. That's boss.
scrdest turning his fruit mush into nectar.
Kal goes fishing. For what, I'm not sure. Kal does not like the outdoors, so I have no idea what's going on.
Sappho eats a caffeine bean.
Japa is having a rough couple of days. That hurts.
Javajavajavajavajavajavajavajavajavajava...
Vector sets about reading a gardening book.
Then she cleans under the coffee machine. Sappho made a mess.
That's gotta be too small to keep, Kal.
Barbarossa hits the treadmill.
Vector makes a mess of the deep fryer.
She's cleaning it up, though, so it's all good.
That is a very impressive looking yellow belt.
Time for (foam) board chopping! Hyah!
Or not. RK gave up after not breaking his first board and went to the telescope.
Vector looks up gardening tips online.
Yoink is home after a long night at work, and then barhopping with his work mates.
Japa, no, that's a really bad idea.
Lights out! Mostly. Japa made the tv unbreakable and is working on something else, BP is up writing, and Barbarossa is still on the treadmill.
