Hoppy, have you ever checked to see how fast you can go?
“Do I look like I own a… spedometer? Whateverthefuck ya call it. I’m fast. That’s that. If we give you nerds concrete numbers you’ll try and power scale us.”
Where's Hoppy? What's she doing while Baba is recovering?
“Working out. Baba will be fiiiine. She and I ain’t pals anyway.”
Hoppy was… lifting weights while doing some basic cardio, jogging in place
Silly idea: The Muppets but all the muppets are Critters. DogDay is, obviously, Kermit.
DogDay: “You kidnapped Jack Black? That’s illegal!”
Kickin: “But Dogday. What’s more illegal. Mildly inconveniencing Jack Black, or destroying the Smiling Critters?”
DogDay: “KIDNAPPING JACK BLACK, KICKIN!”
Bobby, do you know how long it'll take for Baba to be fully recovered?
“No, I’ve never had to do anything like this before! Back in the valley, no one ever so much as broke a bone…”
Bobby wrings her hands together, pacing around in her room. She wants to help Baba as best as she can- but she’s no doctor!
Here’s two bags of yeast guys.
“…Thaaaaaanks?”
baba, as I said previously, your just his first choice. And I doubt it’s gonna not use resources.
“Thanks for fucking reminding me.” She growls, bitterly.
Calming down as Kickin places a hand on her shoulder.
“Babs.”
“Don’t ‘Babs’ me! I’m allowed to be upset when someone’s rubbing my face in my fucking bad choices I KNOW were bad!”
Realizing I forgot to explain something!
So!
Timeline is this:
Smiling Critters and Nightmare Critters existed in the cartoon world. They had lives outside of the episodes, but they are the critters from the show.
Critters pulled FROM the show and put into the BBI toys, but kept… locked away in the bodies, forced to either observe the horrors of playtime or sleep.
All BBI toys died, and were sent to The Void, at which point we start at post 1 here.
Yeast
Have yeast..
(What.)
Do you think it's funny yet adorable whenever Dogday is mad, but doesn't swear?
{None of us have ever heard him swear! I’m pretty sure if he did it’d be… BAD!}
Baba, Bobby had put your arm back together while you were unconscious. Can you move your arm?
She flexes her arm and hums a bit. “Ehhh… it feels… Tight? It’ll probably go back to normal after a while…”
Where are Dogday and Catnap? Did they know Baba being here?
{We heard. Bobby had to physically restrain Day so he wouldn’t run in and hug her. I myself find her to be… pleasant enough company. On the rare occasion I would be around their designated ‘area’ of the valley, The Nightmares were kind enough to me.}
{I’d often visit Baba’s home. We’d ‘chill’ as it were, and she’d allow me to knead her wool.}
Camera pan to DogDay asleep in their shared room, nuzzling a hand stitched Baba plushtoy.
Help how do I stop myself from spoiling my own plot twists.
This is a problem I have consistently. My characters all work off my own internal logic to a degree. So all my characters can puzzle out twists easily enough.
Or how do I make my characters WEAKER? I can’t artificially handicap them! But- the Baba vs Kickin fight. There was no reason for Baba to pull her punches but I just… MADE her so that Kickin would survive!
Aaaaugh.
While there is a chance entropy was tricking Baba, I doubt it…
“THAT DAMN SHEEP!”
“Which of her little friends can I pluck from the afterlife to hurt her the MOST?!”
“She DARES call me out?! She DARES! Fine! Apathy wasn’t the right choice. Sloth? Gluttony? Lust?”
The void howls and roars and cajoles and coos.
“The constant NATTERING of that universe is driving me NUTS! It has to END! END, END, END!”
“And the longer this goes on, the more I have to needle my way in… the more likely that simpering fool Truth will deign to notice my intrusions…”
Entropy reaches a clawed hand into the depths. And draws out a single soul.
“Ahhh. Wrath. The simmering kind. Cold, coiled, and tempered like steel cable. But I’d be a fool to give a portion of my power to someone who may turn traitor a second time…”
Entropy holds up a raven feather… thinking.
It seems kickins mama really didnt raise no bitch. A lot of peoples first response with a wound is to bandage it, which yes is a good thing to do as well, but if you want to close the wound then uuing fire(like burning metal or kickins fire powers) is the best option for something fast. So I applaude you kickin
“…”
“…”
“Kickin-“
“Babs. Stop. It’s Okay.”
“I nearly KILLED YOU, IDIOT?”
“And? You thought the lives of all your friends were on the line!”
“…I’m worried they might still be…”
Where were Crafty and Bobby when they found Baba?
…Beep.
…Beep.
…Beep.
Baba slowly awoke to the sound of a heart monitor.
“Is she gonna be okay?”
“I hope so, Crafty… I was able to sew her arm back on, and magic seemingly managed to reattach it… but I don’t know if she’ll regain full mobility…”
‘Mmm… few more… minutes…’
Outside the room.
“Oh- hello dear. Kickin went and got us. He realized it was Baba attacking him after he got a moment or two to calm down.”
“Whatever has been turning people into monsters got her… seems like she managed to resist in part, if the fact Kickin isn’t dead means anything.”
“If this was an anime, I’m betting whatever is doing this to people brought her here… promised her something real nice as long as she worked for it. She had a change of heart when she realized it was Kickin.”
“…Crafty, even if that’s what happened, Kickin’s forgiven her already.”
…Beep.
…Beep.
…Beep.
“Kickin she tried to KILL you!”
“This is Babs we’re talking about. I’ve never seen her miss with a thrown weapon in the valley. She tried to MAIM me. There’s a difference.”
“HOW IS THAT BETTER?”
“Can you both… fuck off. Sheep tryina sleep, here…”
“BABS!”
“My ears, dayglow.”
“Why does she have a cute nickname for you?!”
“Uh… who the hell do you think gave him all the wool for his sewing and knitting?”
“…Whatever. Listen, Chops. Hurt Kickin again and I burry you.”
“Like I’d hurt the only one of you smiling dorks I get along with.”
Door opening… slamming shut.
“…Sooooo-“
“Some… thing. Pulled me here. Promised if I helped it end the world, it’d bring the other Nightmares back.” She curls into a ball a bit, tears starting to well in her eyes.
“I knew I should’ve told it to fuck off. But- I was scared. It had my soul in the palm of it’s hand! And… I wanted the others back. If i had known that you and the other dorks were here, I’da said no!”
“…I know, Babs. Sure you’re a sour sheep but you’re not a killer.”
… “and hey- you gave me a cool ass scar! Lookat it. If I wasn’t dating Bubba it’d get me alllll the ladies. Haha.”
The two lapse into silence… but it’s comfortable.
Hehe… surprise Baba…
“THAT WASN’T PART OF THE DEAL!”
“Of course it was. You need to put the world to bed. Let them sleeeeeep. Like you wish to sleeep. Pure apathy. Pure entropy!”
“You left out that my fr- The Smiling Critters were here!”
“Does that matter, mmmm?”
“Of course it does! So- DEAL’S OFF! Go ahead and kill me!”
“…No.”
“No? What do you mean- AAAAUGH-“
The creatures she summoned pounce on her. Claws slashing through wool and digging into flesh. Teeth finding purchase on an arm or a leg.
“You will kill them. You will bring this world the peace of endless rest.”
“Fucking- HGAAAAAA- Bite me, you FUCK!”
Teeth sinking deeper. Oh god- oh gods above, her arm just came out of its socket- No- NONONONONO! NO-
SWRIIIIIIP.
…One of the summoned beasts just tore off her arm. And is swallowing it whole.
“AAAAAAAAAAA!”
“OBEY.”
“OBEY!”
“OBEY ME OR DIE, LAMB!”
…
“Then… kill me… you fucking edgelord.”
…
…
“You can’t, can you?”
…
…
“Look! The two things I summon are already melting away without me maintaining them!” She was right. The two constructs were falling apart…
“You can only interact with the world in… certain ways… well Imm not- gonna be…”
Her eyes shutter with darkness as they shut. “A pawn again…”
…
…
“SHE’S OVER HERE!”
“Is that her ARM?! Oh goodness-“
