Stage 2 - SitKombat

She closes in on the squid and throws a flying kick at the part of it that happened to be above water, only for the blow to just barely miss.

🦑 HEY SQUID
____________________________________
Gong-Ju’s trident strikes true! Murasaki’s kick passes harmlessly over Hey Squid’s bulk as he bobs out of the way.

But with a mermaid and a water-strider as his foes, Hey Squid has no means of escape!

So he lashes out! On the Crown, Lacey and The Bride circle each other. A deadly throwing shoe whiffs past the ex-damsel, plunging into the sea! Lacey reaches into her purse and whips out her weapon of choice…

Proving her aquatic superiority, Gong-ju once again blocks the tentacles coming at her and unleashes her super mermaid combo attack!

She bobs, weaves, and flips past the tentacle assault almost as if she can see the future. Once she's through the worst of the attack, she's able to score a solid kick on the squid's face.

FURRYANO

@Eltesla,@Redcroc
Murasaki and Gong-Ju head to a foreign land… and you find that the island of Hokkaido has bounced back quite nicely since the apocalypse. Fembots work in shifts to maintain the land’s beauty. Who doesn’t love a rainbow flower field?

Well, Gong-Ju might prefer a swim… but for Murasaki, this is a great place to meditate!


Hours pass. Murasaki’s quiet is interrupted by a gaggle of fembots. They’re here to work the fields.

🌷🌻💐🌷🌺🌸🌻🥀🌺💐🌹🌷🌸💐🌹🌸🌻🌼🪻🌷🪻

Casey, you have NO idea how you ended up in this situation! You’re not a fembot like these other golden-haired girls. That’s gold as in metal. Their skin is gold metal as well.

Still, the fembots are much more pleasant than that giant gorilla who put his fist through your apartment wall and grabbed you in his you-sized hand! He would have eaten you, if not for that soldier’s head wedged between his molars!

The fembots are sprinkling water from watering cans that never seem to run out of water. Four of them are, anyway. Two others chop-chop-chop with hoes, and the one next to you has a bag of seeds.

You have none of these things.

How come the fembots haven’t noticed you’re not actually helping them? You’re just following them… and… why are you doing that? You don’t recall complaining, stepping out of line, or resisting in anyway…

Somehow, this land feels almost nostalgic to her, even though she's quite sure that she's never been here. Her meditation is silent and tranquil... until the fembots arrive. Seeing that her peaceful meditation spot has been compromised, she rises from the lotus position and dusts her gi off. Perhaps she has meditated for long enough, and the universe brought this disruption along for a reason? Perhaps.

She notices Casey among the fembots. Curiously, she approaches her. "You. You're different from the others, aren't you?" She gestures widely to refer to the bots. "Do you have a name?"

Casey wonders why the fembots are so oblivious. She has decided she is done waiting around for the hero to rescue her and has snuck out with them. She thought it would be a daring escape, but they have barely noticed her and she has just walked right out like she was on vacation instead.

Out in the striped fields of colored flowers, she finally hears another voice - and coming from another person!

"Hi! So nice to see a friendly face finally! My name is Casey and I'm escaping," she says realizing it might not look it. So she reaches behind her and magically pulls out a fedora. She shakes it out and puts it on, hoping to look more daring than she feels. So she runs a finger along the brim to look even cooler.

"What's your name? How did you end up here?"

The fembots notice the two women talking.

👩

KELEDONE

"Oh me oh my. You are not one of us, are you, Hatted One?"

👩

KELEDTWO

Before Casey can even respond, another fembot interjects. "You are most certainly not one of us. You are of flesh."

Keledone and Keledtwo look at each other. They just gaze into each other’s eyes for mere seconds. As the other Fembots start to do the same, it’s apparent that this is a form of silent communication between the mechanical women. (This might explain those soul-staring looks Casey got from Keledfour earlier today.)

The bots seem to reach a consensus.

👩

KELEDONE

"I apologize for the inconvenience, Hatted One. On behalf of EvilCo, we apologize for your working conditions which have been deemed unacceptable due to the lack of monetary compensation."

👩

KELEDTWO

"Please accept my compliment on your fedora and this Fistful of Yen as a severance package."
💴The Fembots are apparently very persuasive. Casey finds herself unable to refuse the bots’ generosity. They walk away, Keledeight swaying her mechanical hips and tossing rainbow flower seeds in synchronized rhythm…

Murasaki bows her head politely. "I am Murasaki, member of the Bombshells. It is a pleasure to meet you, Casey-san. I'm here to fight in the finals of a tournament called SitKombat. It just so happens that our battle shall take place here in Hokkaido. Only half of my team remains, but we will see it through to the finish."

She watches the fembots curiously, and once they walk away, she looks at Casey. "Congratulations on your escape. When I come into possession of money, Emoticat seems to show up soon after, so I suspect you'll see him soon. He sells useful wares that can expand your abilities."

"Well howdy, Miss Murasaki! Do you need more members for your team? I'm itching for a tussle."

Casey spreads out the stack of bills and fans herself with them. "What's an emoticat? Are they endemic to Hokkaido? Anyway, I'd be happy trade my fist full of yen for some beatdown enhancements."

While this mysterious Emoticat is nowhere to be found, there are three catgirls just hanging out together on a small hill overlooking the field of flowers.



"Nya? Human-girls!" one exclaims.

"How can ya tell?" one asks.

"They’re clothed from the waist down," one says.

The trio couldn’t help but overhear Casey’s urge to tussle.

The one with that hat warns her, "You’re just gonna get locked in another cell if you don’t learn to hit back after fending off an attack."

"Meh," says the one with the big stick, "the trick is to keep moving so the creepy wieners can’t get ya."

"Crazy talk!" says the one wearing a collar, and nothing else. "The best way to deal with monsters is to mash ’em. There’s even a song about that."

As the three catgirls debate about the best way an ex-damsel should fight, you notice a village beyond the field of flowers. You get the feeling the catgirls can point you toward Emoticat’s house (which might be a weird feeling to have since you’re about 7000 miles away from the last place Murasaki saw him)…

However, the catgirls will be no help at all until you solve their little debate.

Casey considers the wisdom of each catgirl. She certainly didn't want to wind up back in a cell and she definitely wanted to avoid creepy wieners. But surely the one who dared to fight practically naked would be the most formidable and therefore have the best advice.

"Yes, mash the monsters. Graveyard smash!" she says. She takes this opportunity to dramatically take out her whip and give a bit of a show inspired by rhythmic gymnastics. After twirling and swirling the whip, she ends the display with a sharp ka-RAK of the whip and then coils it up and puts it on her belt.

The collared catgirl giggles with glee. "Haha! I like your weapon of choice! Pro-tip… when you don’t need to defend yourself, attack really fast—

"—like THIS!"


Casey is pretty sure she can do that with her whip…By the time Casey has learned all the catgirl is able to teach (for free, anyway), there’s a rustle in the flowers.

And a smiling face pops up into view—one very familiar to Murasaki—

😺

EMOTICAT

"Nya! Murasaki! I’m so happy the finals are being held so close to my hometown! Welcome to Furryano!"

He confesses…

😹

EMOTICAT

"I was about to have dinner, but got distracted by the smell of crisp bills." He asks Casey, "May I help you?"

And before she can even respond, he opens up a briefcase and a red piece of wood unfolds and unfolds, and somehow becomes something way bigger than a briefcase!

"I have a feeling you’ll eventually buy every snippet in the shop. But which one do you want today?"

Murasaki isn't sure what to make of the catgirls, but she nods politely when Emoticat appears. "Hello, Emoticat! This is him, Casey-san."

"And to answer your question, yes, the Bombshells are looking for more members. It'd be an honor if you joined us. Make them feel the sting of your whip."

"Fantastic! I'm so glad to be part of the Bombshells!" Casey says with a huge grin.

"Sorry to interrupt your supper, Mr. Emoticat. But I appreciate a business man willing to walk the extra mile... or seven thousand." She peruses the wares on display in the pop-up shop. "I'll take this here Defender." She eagerly holds out the stack of cash.

😺

EMOTICAT

"No need to apologize. My wife and I are expecting our first child, so I truly appreciate your business!"

The catguy bows to emphasize his gratitude.

"Oh, and congratulations on joining the Bombshells! I’ll be rooting for ya!"
