Anticlimaxes are best climaxesSaid no one, everdrag a chair or stool over to the counter to stand on and wash dishes. Stay on my stool unless the cook tells me to move - its his kitchen, and hes probably used to moving around it, me trying to dodge him would get myself in his way more often than not. Do not attempt to cook anything, just keep washing dishes and ignore the sounds around me except if the cook orders me around, in which case ill do what he says. If the cook gets in my way just wait silently till he moves.
(6) You Start to drag a stool and the creature freezes suddenly, moves unexpectedly quickly in your direction, and snatches the stool, out of your fingers, waving a skillet in the air three feet above your head.
"Oh ... The ice cream girl, right? You here to help[ then? Dishes? Sure. No this stool won't do. Liable to fall over. Got a shelf built in for my smaller helpers.Just pull on those handles. The front will drop down once it's out. That's the way. First, scrape the food into the bucket there. rinsein the narrow basin. Warm, soapy water in the second basin, hot clear water in the third.
If it doesn't look like humans could eat it, don't put it in the bucket. Set those dishes on the counter to your left with the same color as the dish itself (a rack of counters going from about knee high to far above your head stand to the left of the sinks and perpendicular to them. Each is colored a different color.) If it bubbles, steams, fizzes, or makes a low, ringing sound, alert me immediately."
With those instructions, and an occasional additional instruction, he leaves you to your task, and goes about his own, occasionally asking you some general, small talk questions, like "where ya from? what brings you to Omega? You don't have to tell me, not everyone here likes to share those stories. What do you think of the place?"
The job stretches on for some time, but at last, the chef calls it a day, cleans up, and gives you a thorough inspection, head to toe. "Can't be too careful. Some of the food here doesn't agree with everyone. Some of it disagrees quite violently. You look all clear though. Ice cream? Let's see, let's see. I have eggs, cream, sugar. I'll need salt, vanilla, and ice. I think I can get the salt. Not usually a problem even for Omega. Ice is a bit harder to come by, but these days, who knows? If you can get the vanilla, and perhaps the ice, I'll make up some ice cream for you. If you come and help out again tomorrow, I'll pull a few strings and make sure I have the ingredients in stock for a while. Sound good?"
Listen for the target.
(3) "she went thataway!" you mutter to yourself, pointing hte way the ghoul and hte ape are running.
Make sure all of the flesh is unsable and that the big flesh mass is no longer alive. Then use the flesh as a pillow and sleep.
You've been very thorough. The flesh is paste. No pillow, but you pull over some rubble and lay your head on that.
Thrash about as best I can to try and escape the cart. My tail was moving a lot, right? Use that. And try again with that fire. And that wind. That wind would be good, too.
Thrash roll: (1) that just gets you secured to the cart. Fire roll: (5) hah! success. You burn your restraints, the cart, and some goblin beards. You get free and flop yourself over as one of the wheels gives way, sending you rolling into the wall of the tunnel. You feel a solid thud on contact with the tunnel wall. You also feel several distinct impressions from the wall - a gap about two feet wide around your hip area and a protrusion digging into your shoulder about three feet from the floor, as if you slammed into an open door and the door handle. It hurts, but it's a fairly clear signal.
Keep chasing...see if it possible to induce muscle healing in the big monkey via healing or over healing.
(5) you and the gorilla manage to corner her down an unexpectedly closed off lane. She turns to face you, looking rather unconcerned. (2) you don't induce muscle healing, whatever that means, but hey, you do manage to fix his hearing.
"Ugh, not feeling too good. Just going to take a rest unless someone needs me."
Rest and try to shake it off unless ordered to do otherwise.
(6) you go into a zombie trance, walking aimlessly and chirping idly. Yo uare like that for an unspecified length of time.
"Important statement: All Omega personnel are to leave the target unharmed. We are simply here to return her to the legion.
Request to the target: Please allow yourself to be taken to the legion peacefully. This one will ensure you shall get whatever aid you need."
Keep shouting the above loud enough for everyone to hear. If she doesn't just stop and turn herself in: use robutt computing to naviagte a way for slow-ass me to take some shortcuts through alleyways and whatnot so I can either catch up to her or cut her off at some point.
(6) you stump right up to the mouth of the lane the ghoul and hte gorilla are at, still shouting as you round the corner and nearly collide with the big ape.
"Important statement: All Omega personnel are - oh, there you are.
Request to the target: Please allow yourself to be taken to the legion peacefully. This one will ensure you shall get whatever aid you need."
(1) "Oh, alright I surr-bleaaaarrrrrrgh!" she proclaims, bending over and vomiting unexpectedly. She falls to her knees, pukes heroically, and rests one hand on the stone pot of a nearby decorative plant. She looks up at you, and you see her face visibly reshaping to a more human -standard, as her body seems to deflate. She pukes again, a puddle of vileness spreading out beneath her, chunks piled up around her knees several inches deep. Finally, she seems to pass out, falling face first into her own mess, golden hair covering her head serenely. She's naked - not that that matters to any of you. I mean, the ghoul is more naked, being skinless (you're still skinless, right? you didn't use the fleshhoror as fuel to make skin?) and all, and human standard isn't exactly appealing to you other two. Besides, Gorillas tend to have little concept of clothing anyway.
