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.

Well, fucking enjoy it, I guess. I'm not gonna be of much use to you.

[He's cranky, he's reliving all his trauma, and he's not interested in philosophical discussions. What else are you gonna do?]

[forwearemany]

That is acceptable.

(They don't expect him to be.

They've had months of practice standing still and doing nothing in the AI core on the Normandy. At least this time, it is not because their crewmates see their existence as unwelcome.)

[counterblows]

Oh, it's acceptable. Good. Wouldn't want to be unacceptable.

[He glares at his body like he'd like very much to kick it. He can't. He doesn't even get the satisfaction of kinesis anymore.]

[forwearemany]

You are our ally.

(They watch him, calm and seemingly impassive.

They wonder, is it common for organics to be unable to break cycles of negative thought?)

[counterblows]

And that makes it all better.

[This isn't his worst nightmare, exactly. It's not something he'd consider the worst possible thing to happen to him. But it's certainly not something he enjoys being done to him, to say nothing of the logistics of what it entails.]

[forwearemany]

It does not.

(But they're still staying.)

[counterblows]

Thanks. I'm not sure what I'd do without your scintillating observations and endlessly helpful -

[He doesn't finish the thought. He instead steps closer to his body, resting a pixelated hand across the smooth golden expanse of visor.]

[forwearemany]

(They watch him silently.)
