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.

[ It seems that Washington got the message. Good. In the space of the man's hesitation (slight, but perceptible), the Meta rakes their eyes over that armor. When did Washington get it? Where did he get it? The suit as a whole is too small for the Meta, but they could use its individual components. They could upgrade the flimsy carapace that belonged to Agent Maine.

They remember the last time Agent Maine wore this suit. They remember the bullets that penetrated his chest and neck. They remember his pain; his rage; his fear.

Washington speaks. The Meta considers the question. They remember so many things, information that echoes in the empty chamber of their skull. But this place? They don't know how they got here. They don't know what's going on.

Admitting as much to Washington would be stupid and unnecessary. So all they do is nod — a short, sharp motion. Yes, they just got here. Wherever the fuck "here" is. ]

[What now. What now. Go to Carolina? Go to Tex? No. What good would that do either of them? Tex might remember coming up against the Meta and Washington both, and Carolina...she never had to meet them. She never had to reconcile her memory of Agent Maine, the teammate who caught a bullet for her and fought with her side by side, who she gave up her A.I. for, with what was made of him.]

[You've done this before, Agent Washington. Now carry this weight again. And again. And again.]

[They're looking at him like he's something to be taken apart and put back together under their own terms - not new. They're cooperating, but only barely - also not new.]

Great. [Said in a tone that implies this is anything but great.] Last thing you remember?

[How long are they going to play along with this interrogation game? Let's find out.]
