[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.

pretty much nothing would

that said
is their being worth next to nothing in terms of adVancing you on the echeladder seriously your biggest concern
id think death might feature prominently for most people
eVen if its purely by suffocation

[callouslystalwart]

Even this many imps don't pose a serious threat. ~~CS
The bigger danger is wading through them. ~~CS
If they were still worth the regular amount of experience then it would be worth the effort, but as things currently stand ~I'd~ just be tiring ~myself~ out for naught. ~~CS

#moments you should just alchemize a giant squeakbeast ball
which incidentally falls under #things i would pay money to see

[callouslystalwart]

...That idea actually has some merit, ~I~ think. ~~CS
But perhaps later. ~~CS
