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.

[ Tex looks down at him and lets a sardonic curl of the corner of her mouth happen. ]

I've picked fruit by myself the entire time I've lived here. No one's offered to help me yet. This is a first.

[ She reaches up and picks a fruit and tosses it down at him. ]

It'll be nice not to have to shimmy up and down over and over, though. So it's good.

[ He catches the fruit with ease and puts it away before speaking again. ]

Didn't know.

[ Maine's brow is still slightly furrowed. It's not as though they keep tabs on each other. Not by a long shot. But it still seems strange that Texas has been doing this since they arrived and he never even knew about it. Couldn't he have helped her before? ]

Well, I never said anything.

[ She picks several more fruits from that branch and tosses them each down before moving to another. ]

I honestly tend not to think of asking.

[ Old habits die hard, she figures. ]

[ Under normal circumstances, that's something Maine would understand. Fuck knows he doesn't ask for help. But as it is? ]

Why not?

[ He doesn't get it. ]
a_shadow: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] a_shadow 2019-07-28 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She shrugs. ]

I don't know. Sometimes I think I'm programmed that way.

[ It really bothers Tex sometimes, the things she does because potentially only because of programming, but that's not something she's going to get into here. ]

[ In another week or two, that turn of phrase might register as significant to Maine. It might cause him to make connections and start asking questions. As it is, he just thinks it's a little odd. But then, he thinks that damn near everything about Texas is a little odd. So Maine just grunts in acknowledgment and mulls it over for a while.

When he finally speaks again, it's another question: ]


Like working alone?
a_shadow: (Explaining)

[personal profile] a_shadow 2019-07-31 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I do. I like working with people, too, though, so you don't have to worry you're bothering me. I just tend to take it for granted no one wants my company.

[ That's getting a little confessional for her taste, but it already came out of her mouth. She proceeds to busy herself with picking several fruits that are on the next branch, not looking down again except with quick glances to make sure her aim is true as she tosses the fruits down.

If she pretends she never said it that means it can't be held against her, right? ]
