June Event: Chaos, Chaos!

JUNE EVENT: CHAOS, CHAOS!
Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: It's just a little chaos...
When: June 17th - June 22nd
Where: Primarily Io, though also across Ensō and the islets if applicable
Warnings: Violence, possible body horror, potential anxiety and dysmorphia associated with body-swapping
Who Keeps Spinning the World Around?

The morning of June 17th, you'll probably notice things are amiss rather quickly. Your hands aren't your hands, or you're no longer in a squishy human flesh shape, or worse. Maybe your Lawful Good persona has plummeted into an outright Chaotic Evil one. Or maybe you wake up with a brand new power in your hands! Whatever the case is, no explanation is going to be immediately forthcoming, from Eleu or the Storyteller or anyone else. You'll have to figure out this mess on your own.
Adjust to your new circumstances, master your new powers, and do what you can to make it through the next few days...because they're going to be some very interesting ones, for certain.
Catch Me If You Can!

Come June 20th, whether you're back to normal selves or not, Eleu has a job for you. A request, even. They're going to need your help to take care of this little problem and put a stop to all this absolute madness.

Those interested in helping can get in touch with any of the honeybees buzzing anxiously about Io, and they will redirect you to the Honeycomb, which has now been provided with several barrels of Honeycomb Sledgehammers for your use. You don't have to take one if you don't need it, but they make a very powerful weapon. Additionally, Eleu will take care to assure that, in exchange for your help, you may keep the Sledgehammer, if you so choose.
Those interested in assisting may access our boss fight at its top-level below. This is a single thread with no order, but anyone may participate, regardless of their current state of being. Don't worry about how you contribute, or tag speed. Anyone who's concerned about being left out is welcome to reach out to us to handwave or backtag their involvement, if necessary!

The Clown Box is going to put up a fight, though. And it's not going to be pretty.

[Beau also found herself waking up not quite as herself today, stuck in a blue and yellow suit and maybe not being technically human at the moment. It hasn't yet gotten to be so weird that it's scaring her, but it is undeniably, undoubtedly weird. And because it is, she's trying to figure out where-- or who-- her friends are, and what asshole thought this would be some funny prank to pull.

Frankly, she almost trips right over Lillie at first, getting probably too close to stepping on her before the bleat reaches her, and she stumbles to an awkward side-hop stop. It's an uncertain stance to someone who looks like a dangerous soldier, seeing as it's the kind of one legged raise people might do at an errant spider.]


Holy shit-- hey! You shouldn't just lie there!

[Wonderful.]

[The flowccus bleats again, sounding almost apologetic, and stands up to shuffle out of the way before flopping down and looking somehow even more dejected. There doesn't really seem to be a point in trying to explain or look for a solution when she can't. Actually vocalize or express the problem. In her mind, the best course of action is to wait it out and try to make it apparent that she's not actually a flowccus, lest she find herself being sheared.

Although she doesn't think they've ever met, both of them can probably reason that this isn't normal for the other party, right? Between an animal's ability to recognize words and seemingly apologize in response and the obvious soldier being obviously not very soldier-y? The writing is kinda on the wall.

Nebby does take this opportunity to waddle over towards Beau-in-disguise, chirping happily as an introduction. It's lack of ability to communicate clearly doesn't seem to bother it at all.]

[The writing is absolutely on the wall. Beau talks to most things, including inanimate objects when they'e betraying her, but rarely does anything (or anyone) actually do it. She doesn't have an eyebrow to raise under the helmet, but she's still trying to flex that muscle instinctively as she watches this animal flop over just out of her step.

Beau's only pulled out of it by Nebby's arrival, causing a little shuffle in her step like she's afraid to step on this one, too.]


Woah, woah, hey-- didn't hurt them, see? They're fine. Probably.

[Once it becomes apparent that they aren't hostile though, she tries to squat down, which finally happens after about 3 attempts and some metal grinding noises. She isn't used to these limbs.]

Hey. Haven't seen you around. Is that your friend? And also who are you.

Pew!

[It is a decidedly unhelpful statement, considering it's not a word at all and is instead a weird sound that manages to echo and fold in on itself in a dizzying fashion. Nebby turns to face Lillie, swaying back and forth cheerfully. Yes, this is a friend!! How did you know!!

(Lillie smiles at that as best she can as a flowccus. It's nice to know Nebby seems to think of her as a friend and not just a caretaker.)

However it's difficult for either of them to answer Beau's question of "who are you". The only thing Lillie can think to do is to turn her head as much as she can and bleat pointedly at her flank, where a cluster of white lilies blooms outwards.]

[Yeah, she isn't sure what she expected here. This thing has a mouth, but it's probably too much to expect for it to just know how to talk. She just kind of stares at it, and then gives it a little nod.]

Alright, you're Pew now.

[I'm sorry Lillie. Beau's stupid. But the gesture isn't unseen, and while she doesn't know the exact flower, it does give her an idea.]

Wait, are you not usually a sheep? Flower. Flower sheep. This isn't what you're supposed to look like?
