"Ha! I'm re-biggening!" Thundra says as she flies to re-join the other smaller ladies aboard. "I feel like I am supposed to smash something. Just tell me what!"

Princess Diamond leaves the dog as it chases its tail and bites at itself. Apparently only some of the heads wanted to be a good dog. That was sad, maybe if she had enough magic she could have split it into three dogs and then they could all be happy. With those thoughts of sparkling castles and having cute but not so easy to kill pets she got caught up in her own imagination.
Finally, she remembered that she was supposed to be doing something. She flew down to help Thundra with Hero Sword guy. "Hey Sword Guy, could you maybe defeat the shadow evil version of you? That would be great."

Antihero Sword Guy makes a futile attempt to swat our tiny heroines away, but only the water from his sword manages to hit anything. A few drops wash some of the dust off of Bitey. The plushy grows slightly, but is still glittery enough that Pira can control its flight. (If anything, the growth made the plushie less crowded.)
Hero Sword Guy bows to the princess. "Me? Defeat my own doppelgänger? Uhh… yeah. As you wish, your highness."
He shouts up to the shadowy figure, "Hey, ya big jerk! You thought you drowned me, but, ahh, you didn’t! So how do ya like THEM apples!"
The shadowy figure stares down in silence. His glowing eyes shift to the strange boxes around the ship… then he looks up, raises his arms and…
—dissipates. There’s a poof of purple-black smoke, then nothing.
Hero Sword Guy sheathes his sword and bows to the princess again. "He did not like them apples, your highness," he says with much confidence.
Casanova sees the tendrils connected to the black boxes, and she understands roughly what is happening. The boxes are either overtaking Pinky’s technology, or they’re extracting it. It’s not the ship they want, but a power from the ship that is useful.
CASANOVA... I KNEW YOU WOULD COME. PLEASE. SAVE ME.
The ship’s AI sounds weak, but Casanova is not too late…
I’ll give time to let you guys talk, and likely, the Level 2 Boss will reveal themself on Monday or Tuesday.

Pira directs Bitey to join the others, the piranha plush coming to circle in the air above the pink thing. "So, what is this?" She gestures at the object in question, leaning over to peer at it curiously. "Do you know it, Casanova? Is it your friend? Hi!" She waves enthusiastically at the ship. "You don't look very happy with these tentacle thingies."

Casanova flies closer to Pinky, trying to figure out what she can do to save her beloved ship. She nods at Pira, both to answer that it's her ship and that she's not happy with what's happening to it. When she can't find any obvious way to do it, she flies straight at her ship angling for the entry ramp to try and get on board.

The ship’s AI responds to Pira, and of course, to her captain as well.
YOUR ASSESSMENT IS CORRECT. I DO NOT CARE FOR THESE TENTACLE THINGIES.
CAPTAIN, YOU HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO ONE TWELFTH YOUR ORIGINAL HEIGHT, OR 1/1728TH YOUR ORIGINAL MASS. TO PILOT ME UNDER THIS CONDITION WOULD BE INADVISABLE.
Everyone hears Pinky’s reply, and there are pots of water that any one of you can jump into to wash that pixel dust off of yourself.
But what Pinky might not have noticed is what our heroines can see. While Pira and Casanova are close to the ship, their little wings are sprinkling glittery dust all over Pinky.
Before I have the shadows do something awful (shoulda said ‘shady’), let’s have a roll:
• 3D Hero if you choose to jump in a pot of water to grow back to full size.
~OR~
• 3D Sprite if you choose to sprinkle pixel dust on Pinky.
~OR~
• 2D Sprite if you do something else that I didn’t think of, unless you think it’s so heroic you should roll 2D Hero instead.
For the 3D rolls, your action will succeed even on a miss. The total # of hits from every player who takes that action and how many players take that action are all factored in to determine how much you accomplish before the enemy acts. (You can assume shadow people are really good at moving around without you noticing.)

"Oh yeah, time to wrestle some tentacles!" Pira whoops, then pats the back of her piranha, addressing it: "Bitey, follow Kurumi's lead for now, I'm gonna go take a quick dip so I can show this shadow octopus what-for!" She grins at the dancer, then jumps off the plush, half-falling half-diving into the water. "Don't worry, weird pink space ship, we're getting you out!"

"Sword Guy, that was not very inspiring. Are you sure you are a hero? I've been hearing disturbing tales about you invading people's houses and breaking pots." She didn't have much time to actually berate the Sword Guy because there were tentacles to deal with.
Large Tentacles, no she was absolutely not going to increase her size to deal with those things. She'd heard, from other people mind you, just how awful and unpleasant large unknown tentacles could be, and she was just not that sort of Princess! So, instead of growing larger and fighting the tentacles herself she sprinkles some pixy dust onto Pinky.

After a quick assessment, weighing the benefit of increasing her size against shrinking Pinky, Casanova decides that as long as she can still fire her blaster at the tentacles she doesn't need to be any bigger in the situation. She does hesitate for a moment as she wonders if it's possible for Pinky to return to it's original size after, but then thinks its worth the risk over loosing it completely.

"But… but…" Hero Sword Guy stammers in reply to the princess, "…I smashed those pots in self-defense! And to defend those homes!"
Daimond, who is not ‘that kind of Princess,’ does not know that the tentacles are not ‘that kind of tentacle,’ but perhaps from Pinky’s perspective, they are nightmarish enough. Diamond and Kurumi sprinkle generous amounts of dust. Being magical in nature, they adapt easily to the nature of their fey bodies.
Casanova is doing her best to deal with the oversized helmet and phaser. It would probably be easier on herself to plunge into a pot of water and rid herself of silly magic—but she takes a calculated risk, putting her ship’s needs ahead of her own—
Pinky starts to feel lighter… weightless! The tendrils are taut as they struggle to maintain control over the ship!
THE GLITTERY DUST... IT’S HELPING, CAPTAIN. I CAN ALMOST BREAK FREE
Players act before the enemy can do any damage. So, that being said, on with the narrative.Clouds of purple smoke swirl about the boxes! They begin to take shape, starting with one who looks like Thundra, and Antihero Sword Guy is formed from another. A third one is beginning to form, but you don’t have time to watch—the shadowy Thundra is already attacking!
"FONDUUUUU!" she shouts, as she unwittingly charges straight at the pot of water the REAL Thundra is ‘bathing’ in.
The pot shatters from Thundra’s sudden growth! Her doppelgänger slams into her, and staggers back a step from the impact.
Another pot shatters, and out pops Pira. She could help Thundra or Hero Sword Guy battle their doppelgängers, but a New Challenger emerges from the shadow. It’s a shadowy Bitey, and that flying fish must be at least ten feet long!
It makes Pac-Manly muncha-muncha sounds as it moves to gobble the little fish!

But how can she harm somebody who looks like herself?

Pira makes a delighted sound upon seeing the shadowy piranha plush, although her enjoyment of seeing it doesn't stop the woman from charging straight at the fanged opponent. "Hiya, chew on this, shadowy doppelganger!" She swings her heel at the fish while Bitey dives to avoid the danger and follows after the still tiny girls, swirling around protectively.

With confirmation from her ship, and seeing the other two continuing to sprinkle the dust, Casanova banks for one of the pots. At this point, with potential hostiles on the board, it seems a far better idea for her to be "normal sized"... not just for her mental well being.
Aug 3, 2024 2:37 pm
Okay, she could do this. It was time to be…a hero! She steps into the pot to grow full size and pulls a dagger from a small sheathe at her side. She strides forward with grace only to trip as one of her heels breaks. Why was she even wearing those things anyway!

…the clouds spiral about the room, rising in what seems to be a futile attempt to snatch Pinky as she lifts off! But the cloud simply merges to form a twenty-foot-tall cone.
Princess Diamond draws her dagger as she stands at the base of the purple-black cone, sensing danger from the mountainous form…
Blundra mocks Thundra. "You missed!" She then reaches into her Bra of Holding, whips out a throwing axe! She throws it at Thundra, and misses. She then whips out a pair of chattering dentures, throws and misses, and continues to throw more objects—a fire hydrant, a rusty tricycle, a pink-flamingo lawn ornament with a really sharp beak—and they all whizz past Thundra’s face! Blundra yells in frustration, "I missed too! And I’ve thrown everything but the kitchen sink!"
With a shrug, she reaches into her Bra of Holding once more—

As Hero Sword Guy and his shadowy doppelgänger clash swords, the hero warns the princess, "Missy Girl—Absinthe—she had her reasons for abandoning this place! She—ahh!!"
He blocks a swing to the throat and pushes on the antihero’s blade. "Next time I’ll cut off more than your exposition, Hero!"

Princess CLUB!
Princess Diamond is not even knee-high to the shadowy toon, who gazes down at her menacingly as she continues to grow to thirty feet tall!
"Salutations, Mini-Me. I see you’ve broken a heel. Have one of mine!"
She lifts her leg, and as her shoe is over the princess’ head, Diamond can’t help but notice the stiletto heel has three human-sized skulls impaled on it like shish kebab!

Hit or miss, for your next move, no matter what it is:
