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.

"...Oh. Uh. Sure?"

He doesn't like plan on wearing it all the time or anything because, singular eye hole, very disorienting, and he's glad he doesn't have claustrophobia. But he'll shove it back on anyway. Who's he to judge if someone doesn't like their own face for whatever reason?

"Yeah, I'm blue robot guy who helped pick up the robot after you slaughtered a bunch of carnivorous bunnies. You know how long it's been since I've had a fleshy body for more than five minutes? A long time. Why are you so tall? Did you play basketball when you were younger?!"

[wanderingdoctorfaust]

'Zidane' tenses up at the mere mention of the horrid, savage balls of fluff that he sacrificed blood, sweat and sanity to protect Legion from. He never did get a chance to reprimand the synthetic for putting the two of them in that danger to begin with, he'll have to give them a firm talking-to once this is all over.
Regardless, it takes him a good moment to recompose himself enough to give Church succinct responses to the queries. Fortunately they're the same questions about his height that he's been dealing with for quite literally half a century. He can answer these in his sleep.

"...that is my natural height, and I did martial arts, actually..."

He's not going to bother with the contradictory claim of Church having been inside a 'fleshy body' before yet simultaneously asserting he's 'blue robot guy'. There's enough body-swapping shenanigans going on as-is. As a matter of fact, Faust isn't even going to offer any further complaints. Whatever any of this is, it's not Church's fault.

"...good grief. I do hope this is short-lived. I do not think I could cope with a more standard body type after decades of looking like...well."

He gestures to the alleged robot currently piloting his body like a dwarf on ill-fitting stilts. He can empathise with that feeling pretty strongly, if he's being honest.

"I've never felt so tall in my life. Oh--man, you might need help reaching things, huh?" Listen, Church has few concerns about this. Like, sure, yes, it's concerning overall, naturally. But He's tall and flexible if kind of achy and he gets to reach things on high shelves. If there are any high shelves around here.

"Probably won't be too long, right? I haven't been here all that long, but even the things that I've seen happen don't ever seem to be permanent."

Not even death, according to Wash, but he's yet to witness that with his own two eyes.

Yes, Church, he's now less than half of his normal height, you can stop pointing it out to him. Faust can deal with the whole "Whoa, you're tall!" talk but not when he's experiencing the worlds most literally-minded body dysphoria. Not that he will be getting that kind of talk any time soon, looking like he is right now, but still.

"...you're probably right. This too shall pass, I suppose. In the meantime, will you be able to, ah...handle...that? I'm struggling quite a bit as is, so I can't imagine what this must be like for you."

He repeats the same gesture as before, indicating his own body being piloted by the alleged synthetic.
What Faust actually means to say is that if he gets his original body back and finds out it's been blatantly tampered with, there will be hell to pay.
