[S] Perrix: Be overwhelmed.

[callouslystalwart]

For the moment, you're again PERRIX SEIYOS and you're still mostly BEING A BADASS.

Thanks to your trusty PERSONAL PORTABLE PAPARAZZI, you are again broadcasting your WHOLESALE ASS-WHOOPINGS to anyone who cares to watch. You're busting out all kinds of ridiculous acrobatic maneuvers off of so many handle-like objects (mostly broken flagpoles). You give an IMP something that looks a lot like this and even manage one of these on an OGRE.

Then SOMETHING UNEXPECTED happens.

The tides turn.

Where before the video had merely shown ONE (1) PERRIX SEIYOS beating up on a REASONABLE NUMBER (~) OF IMPS AND OGRES, the scene is now one of ONE (1) PERRIX SEIYOS "tactically withdrawing" from a TOTALLY HELLACIOUS NUMBER (?) OF IMPS and then some. And then a few more. In fact, the stream doesn't seem to be slowing down - at least one new IMP seems to come from some unknown location and onto the screen every second. They squabble and trip over one another for a bit, but you are now quite visibly running from what is a veritable KATAMARI OF PISSED-OFF IMPS, with yet more running amok all over besides. It isn't long before the tide of fangs and limbs washes over your PERSONAL PORTABLE PAPARAZZI, cutting the feed.

About 20 minutes later, after you've found a relatively safe hiding spot in the top of one of LOAAR's many broken spires and tended to your wounds, you decide you should open a memo to let others know of this HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE. It's not like you can do anything else when there is a figurative SEA OF IMPS skittering around the base of the spire - your saving grace is that they largely lack your JUMPING SKILL. You're suddenly very thankful that none of the ALPHA PLAYERS prototyped anything that could grant flight or exceptional climbing ability.


-- callouslyStalwart [CS] RIGHT NOW opened memo Bollocks. --

CS: ~I'm~ fine for now, for the record. ~~CS
CS: But this is absolutely dreadful! ~~CS
CS: They're worth less than a single XP each! ~~CS


You've got your priorities in order.

But it's f4ster to... blow them up, m4ybe?
Then you don't h4ve... to h4ndle them one... 4t 4 time, no!
You h4ndle them 4s... 4 big bundle, boom!
Distr4ct them first, yes!
4nd them explode them!
We c4n bring explosives... if you w4nt, Perrix!
We could help you... f4ster, I think, yes!
Th4t seems like 4... better solution, 4bsolutely, m4ybe!
Less time w4sted, yes?

[callouslystalwart]

It seems to be some sort of event, or perhaps further glitching... ~~CS
~I~ imagine it will blow over before too long. ~~CS
~We~ have another experiment to conduct in terms of seeing where the pair of you end up on ~my~ planet, remember? ~~CS
Hold off for now and once ~I~ take care of this, you two can come over as before! ~~CS

[apiarycryptonaut]

I, but, um, th4t's...
Ok4y Perrix, m4ybe we... c4n w4it, m4ybe, um.
But I don't know.
We c4n still do... the experiment 4nd 4lso... help you, we c4n!
Th4t's still 4 solution!
We could, um, Perrix!
It would be b4d... to le4ve you without... 4ny help 4t 4ll!

[callouslystalwart]

Dammit. Well at the very least, you can make this your idea and word it differently.

~I~ don't need the help. ~~CS
However, ~I~ suppose... ~~CS
Purely in the interests of knowledge and efficiency, of course... ~~CS
You might as well come. ~~CS
This is hardly an impedance at all, really. ~~CS
~I~ wanted to make things as convenient as possible for yourself and your jumpy companion! ~~CS
If you're both quite ready, however, then honestly ~I'd~ prefer we get on with the experiment as quickly as possible. ~~CS

[apiarycryptonaut]

Th4t's wh4t I thought!
We'll be there soon!
Just w4it for 4... little bit longer, yes!
It won't be long!

[callouslystalwart]

Well it isn't urgent, but the sooner ~we~ can figure this out the better, of course... ~~CS
So do hurry up. ~~CS

[apiarycryptonaut]

Don't worry, Perrix, no!
We'll be there soon!
