NIGHTMARE PLOT: BATTLE LOG

[these_balls]

Who: Nightmare Plot participants!
Where: THE BASEMENT (dun dun dunnnnn)
When: Wednesday, October 30
Summary: IT'S NOT CHERNOBOG. But you still have to fight it.
Rating: PG-13 in general; please mark threads that go higher accordingly!
Log:





YOU ARE HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS. YOU'RE FIGHTING THIS. (IT'S NOT CHERNOBOG.)

ALSO, MOOD MUSIC.


KEY:

• RED areas are inaccessible regions! This time, characters have a little less discretion in what they perceive as the reason for the inaccessibility; it'll either be something like a broken or crumbling wall, a locked door, an archway overgrown with dangerous-looking vines, thick fog, or something else of that nature!

• The GREEN area is the set of stairs you used to get down here in the first place! Again, this is here so you know where your starting point is in relation to everything else.

~

☆ THE NUMBER TO MEET OR BEAT IS 55 PARTICIPANTS ☆.

REMEMBER: IF YOUR CHARACTER DOES NOT POST TO THE BOSSFIGHT LOG AT LEAST ONCE
(AS A TOP-LEVEL COMMENT OR IN RESPONSE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S TOP-LEVEL COMMENT)
BEFORE 7:00 AM EST on OCTOBER 31, THEY WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD THE 55-PARTICIPANT GOAL!

[Speaking of poor life choices, that sure is a rather nasty-looking tentacle monster looming up behind Ishimaru as he focuses on attempting to instill good moral values in Not!Chernobog.

And it sure is splitting its midsection open into a massive gaping maw lined with saliva-coated fangs as its tentacles reach toward his unsuspecting shoulders.

And it sure is looming closer.

...

And it sure is SCREECHING IN AGONY AS SOMEBODY PROCEEDS TO POP UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND BUST A RATHER ELEGANT MAHOGANY-WOOD ARMCHAIR OVER IT, followed by a thorough beating with the splintered remains of the piece that busted off in the cavalry's hands after the whole thing shattered from the force of the blow.]

WELCOME TO EARTH!

[...Yes, apparently Hardison did watch Independence Day with the cavalry at one point, um.]

[ardent]

[Well, Ishimaru is just going to be contributing to this by jumping half a mile and whipping around to see what in the world just happened behind him; the sight of the shrieking, writhing...thing on the ground is not exactly welcome, what...]

Aneki, what...?!

[jfc there are some things that just kind of defy even being asked about

this is one of them

where does he even start]

[nostabbing]

[Hold that thought, she'll just be beating the ever-living shit out of this thing while she casually holds a conversation with her surrogate little brother, um.]

Hi, Ishimaru!

[ardent]

[Wow, that is brutal.]

...You know, normally I would say something about what you're doing, but given the week we've had I don't blame you at all!

[nostabbing]

[TEST YOUR MIGHT. MORTAL KOMBAT.]

It was going to eat you, though.

[ardent]

...Was it really?

[...ishimaru what the hell did you think it was doing]

[nostabbing]

Yeah, it was coming up behind you like YAAAARGH RAAAAAARGH RAAAAAAR OM NOM NOM.

[She gives the downed monster — now completely defeated — a kick for good measure and wiggles the fingers of her free hand near her mouth like tentacles for emphasis.]

Pretty good chance it was gonna eat you.

[ardent]

Well, I appreciate you stoppi-

[...wait.]

...where did you get that chair from, anyway?

[nostabbing]

[...

Huh.]

I dunno. I just needed it, and...

[Wait.

...Wait for it.

Almost curiously, she extends her arm to full length, palm out, and...

...

SUDDENLY, A SPINDLEBACK DINING CHAIR??]

Cool!

[ardent]

[...............]

That was actually pretty cool, yes!

Now keep putting it to good use, aneki - it's going to take a lot of work and determination to emerge from this fight victorious!

[nostabbing]

Yeah!

[And up goes her chair-summoning hand for a high-five because clearly that is what bros do in a situation like this.]

[ardent]

[........................................

um]

[nostabbing]

[...................

...oh.]

For morale!

[EMPHATIC HEAD-JERKING AT RAISED FIVE HAND]

[ardent]

[...but

what

he doesn't

...oh oh OH okay let him just

return that in the most awkward way possible

IT'S REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC, IT'S JUST...KINDA LATE, UM]

[nostabbing]

[NOT A PROBLEM

BECAUSE

MORALE IS GOING STRONG NOW AWWWWWWWWWW YEAH]
