[[Congratulations, adventurers. You have done what many thought was not possible to do: You have collected all of your coins. But first, you find yourself in the familiarity of your bedrooms once more. Were you to look outside, the world will appear very much the same, although the blimp is still hovering high in the sky above the "town". Were you to try going inside the church or arcade/grocer, the doors are now locked, and there are closed signs sitting in the windows.]]
MEULIN: *walks out of her house and frowns when seeing the places closed* WHAT THE HEY!!!!!!!!!!!
SOLLUX: *Meulin's thunderous roar was what bothered Sollux enough to roll his eyes and investigate outside because it probably cracked the very sky*
JAKE: *Drowsily tumbles out of the bathtub where he spent the night to once more bounce down the stairs to join the crew.* Hey the what?
MEULIN: efurrythings closed!!!!!!!!!!!
JAKE: Oh! Well thats new then. You chaps and chapessess finished collecting all the coins then i take it?
ARADIA: *joins the crew a moment later, looking between everyone curiously*

JANE: *having fallen asleep in the church last night, she awoke with a headache in her house. so she isn't terribly chipper but she's at least sort of smiling when she comes out* Hi.
JAKE: *waves like the proper gent he is* Hello! And im afraid i havent the foggiest, i shipped out early.

JAKE: Right right. You think itll be a breakthrough of one kind or another?
CALLIE: i have no idea... i sUppose we'll find oUt soon.
JAKE: *claps his hands together and starts off at a brisk pace towards the school* Lets get cracking then!

JANE: *TO THE SCHOOL. for hopefully the last time*
JAKE: *Were too cool for school! But not really*
[[Inside the school isn't any different than normal.]]
MITUNA: 7o 7he fucking prize boo7h

MITUNA: *leads the pack*
JAKE: *ollies through the door after him*
JANE: *follows, looking around with knit brows*
MEULIN: *following along like a good kitty*
ARADIA: aw that squiddle guy is g0ne

CALLIE: *moves out of everyone's way*
MITUNA: *plops his down too*

[[He looks pointedly at the others who have coins.]]
ARADIA: *takes the coins out of her hat and sets them down as well* :)
JANE: *oh right i think i still have a nepeta and an equius coint. goes forward and puts them down*
JAKE: *nervous shuffling as he deposits any random not his coins he may have*
JANE: *then steps the hell back again. flippin clown*
MEULIN: *is coinpletely coinless so she just stands and watches*
[[He gives Rose a sink when she hands in her coins.]]
[[Looks pointedly at sollux now.]]
[[Also gives Aradia a bar of soap.]]
SOLLUX: *was too busy making it rain to pay attention to what he got but whatever it is he just carelessly hands it over*
SOLLUX: *don't look at me like that, you creepy fuck.*
ARADIA: *what scent is the soap*
ARADIA: *sniffin that soap*
[[Corpse scent. Except not really, it's mint scented.]]
[[Hands Sollux a toilet brush.]]

MITUNA: 7hi5 i5 bull5hi7
JANE: Oh.
JAKE: What is this.
JAKE: I know what it is! But.
ARADIA: 0n h0w t0 use a l0ad gaper?
CALLIE: *Callie snatches the instructions*
JANE: *shakes her head. aradia please*
[[It's an instruction booklet on how to do plumbing]]
MITUNA: wha7 7he ac7ual fuck
[[when everyone looks up from the booklet, the clown will be gone.]]
MITUNA: wha7 7he ac7ual 5hi7 7hrobbing fuck
CALLIE: *as in how to install a toilet?*
[[Yes]]
ARADIA: *peeks from behind callie to look at the booklet*
[[Except the final instruction on how to install a toilet says to place a rubber duck inside and flush.]]
MITUNA: *lisps angrily*
JANE: *glares at the now empty prize booth*
CALLIE: .
MEULIN: HUH!!!!!!!!!!
JAKE: *looks at the intructions over their shoulders* Are you in fact telling me, telling us all, that we have to contruct a flipping bathroom?
CALLIE: hmm...
CALLIE: it seems so.
MITUNA: *facepalms*
MITUNA: ugh le75 ju57 ge7 7hi5 over wi7h
CALLIE: bUt there's something aboUt flUshing a rUbber dUck at the end!
[[It says all pieces must be in place for the bathroom to work properly and each piece they were given has a location.]]
JANE: Flushing a rubber duck?
JANE: *pulls out her duck and stares at it*
CALLIE: *Callie also has a rubber duck*
MITUNA: he5 7he one
JANE: That... is ridiculous.
MITUNA: he make5 ba7h 7ime lo75 of fun
CALLIE: where oUght we install it thoUgh...?
JANE: *rubber duck buddies*
JAKE: All pieces have a location? Does that mean they have to be... together? Or not?
MITUNA: i7 look5 like 7here5 5pecific loca7ion5 for each piece
MITUNA: mo7her
MITUNA: fuck
MITUNA: goddammit7 jake
MEULIN: i wonder what the whole point of this is!!!!!!!
JAKE: *smacks his forehead* I left the bath in my room!
MITUNA: go fucking ge7 i7 7hen
MITUNA: i75 7ha7 5imple
JAKE: *already gone* Wait here for meeeeee!
ARADIA: *he was already not here*
JANE: *that sums up jake pretty well*
JANE: *uh... no offense
JANE: *
MITUNA: *BOY HOWDY*
JAKE: *none takeeeeeen*
CALLIE: *rereads the instructions to try to decipher if that means they're all supposed to be in the same room or if there's any specific room they're supposed to use or what because I am confused*
JANE: Maybe it has to be in the blimp. *said flatly it's a joke*
MITUNA: ...
MITUNA: 5ollux did 5ay i7 wa5 emp7y
MITUNA: bu7 7ha7d be dumb a5 fuck
JANE: *slow turn to mituna*
JANE: Yes. It would be. There's no way to get the water up there.
MITUNA: yeah okay bu7 weirder 7hing5 have happened here
MEULIN: does it have to have water??????????
JANE: *slow turn to meulin* That's how a sink works, yes.
MITUNA: al5o a load gaper
ARADIA: unless theres a water tank inside the blimp s0mewhere? *not sure how sturdy the blimp is*
MEULIN: wouldnt suprise me!!!!!!!!!
JANE: There would have to be some sort of filter system in there too, though. Nobody wants toilet water to wash their hands.
[[The instructions don't specify where the bathroom is to be constructied.]]
MITUNA: *rubs temples*
MEULIN: but its just to flush a rubber duck!!!!!!!
ARADIA: hmm
MITUNA: oh my fucking god meulin
ARADIA: well if it d0esnt say where it needs t0 be built
ARADIA: we can build it anywhere!
CALLIE: well, someone coUld check there, and the rest of Us coUld try to find a place down here that might work?
CALLIE: right?
ARADIA: 0r that!
JANE: Let's put it in the middle of the street. *that'd be a hell of a thing*
CALLIE: hee hee!
JANE: *thumbs up perfect. that would make a good prank though, if you could pull it off fast enough*
MITUNA: le75 ju57 5e7 i7 up here
CALLIE: ...well
CALLIE: *shrugs* if that's okay?
MITUNA: *fidgeting impatiently*
JANE: *was starting to actually like the middle of the street idea* If we can find the pipes, why not.
CALLIE: *setting up a bathroom sounds complicated*
MITUNA: *we've got instructions, we'll deal*
CALLIE: we're in a cafeteria, aren't we? shoUldn't there be something near the kitchen?
MITUNA: *we can do it*
MITUNA: yeah probably
MEULIN: works fur me!!!!
CALLIE: all right then! *heads toward the kitchen?*
MITUNA: *follows Callie*
MEULIN: *follows as well*
[[The kitchen is now unoccupied and there is no food in the clean food...things...]]
JANE: *as long as we can get to the pipes, no one curr*
[[You can definitely get to the pipes.]]
[[There's even a set of tools laying around and everything.]]
MITUNA: alrigh7 callie
CALLIE: *YAY*
CALLIE: :U?
MITUNA: 57ar7 reading 7hoe in57ruc7ion5
CALLIE: okay then!
MITUNA: *picks up some tools. Tuna the builder is here*
CALLIE: *casually reads. Push It To The Limit begins to play softly in the background*
MITUNA: *lol he has no clue what he grabbed*
MITUNA: *bulding montage ensues*
JAKE: *kicks the school door open, returning with bath held aloft over his shoulders* Got it! ... Where is everyone.
JANE: *grabs a drill. gonna push through the headache to get this over with*
MITUNA: *I miss my headaches 8(*
JANE: *hears the doors get kicked* Over here!
SOLLUX: *lolsame*
[[As they work with the magic of teamwork, it'll go a lot faster than they thought. some of the pieces are practically putting themselves in.]]
CALLIE: *U gUys are weird*
JAKE: *jogs through into the kitchen* We setting up here then? Grand.
JAKE: *flips the bath over and puts it... somewhere that looks right*
MITUNA: *Mituna is somehow very versed in plumbing. Must be because he's good at almost everyhting he does. Which is weird considering who he is*
ARADIA: *PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT plays in the background. or at least in aradia's head.*
MITUNA: *It's literally blaring through everyones heads at the same time*
JANE: *it plays on the school's broadcast system*
SOLLUX: *it precipitates bathroom appliances*
MITUNA: *that too. Tuna's tongue is stuck out in concentration as he builds and builds*
CALLIE: .
MEULIN: *just building whatever she sasked to*
CALLIE: *sassked*
CALLIE: *FINALLY they have the bathtub and toilet in place*
CALLIE: *and the sink i guess*
MITUNA: *and the bath mat and all the accesories*
MITUNA: *wipes brow*
JANE: *where the heck did we put those tho*
JANE: *we're talented i guess*
[[Where the book tells you to put them]]
MEULIN: *and the hemp shampoo and the loofa*
CALLIE: *BUT WHERE DOES IT SAY TO PUT THEM*
JANE: *haha. good thanks*
JAKE: *takes the loofah from meulin and hooks it over the bath* There!
JAKE: *JUST MAKE IT UP*
[[FINE. it says put the bathmat in front of the bathtub, the toilet brush in the sink, the loofah on top of the toilet, and the shapoo and soap inside the tub.]]
SOLLUX: *is helping somehow*
JAKE: *moves the loofah*
JAKE: *it is now on top of the john. not that john*
[[One of the toilet brushes magically turns into a hand towel]]
JANE: This is such a weird bathroom.
JAKE: *MAGIC*
[[It says to stuff it down the sink drain]]
SOLLUX: *kurbam*
JAKE: *shrugs if it works it works*
SOLLUX: *goes on and stuffs it down the sink drain, what the hell*
CALLIE: it is...

JANE: Mine was contraband from the arcade anyway.
CALLIE: *reaches slowly for the toilet handle*
MITUNA: callie 7he plea5ure i5 all your5
CALLIE: *everyone breaks a sweat*
JANE: *watches intently*
[[The handle stares at you.]]
CALLIE: *suddenly*

CALLIE: *FLUUUUSH*
JAKE: *oh man, oh god, oh man*
JANE: *sweats loudly*
ARADIA: 0_0

CALLIE: EEP!
JAKE: ODDSBODSKINS!
MEULIN: 3333333333333333333333333333K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOLLUX: *a string of curses like no other*
[[On the other side, everyone lands in a pile of... cotton candy of every color. All around them is nothing but candy and food of every sort, especially the kinds they all like. The walls and ceiling... all food. There is no door here. There is, however, just... piles of food everywhere. What a wonderful place.]]
[[Although you came here through water, you are all somehow dry]]
CALLIE: OOF! *lands on the sugary fluff*

JAKE: *stays face down in sugar* Shit.
MITUNA: woah
JANE: *flops backward to lay in the pink*
MITUNA: *of course she's in the pink*
CALLIE: *sighs a long sigh before pushing herself up and squatting next to Jane* are yoU all right love?
MITUNA: *floats up to get a better lay of the land*
JANE: Yeah. I'm fine. *covering her face*
SOLLUX: *just lays there for a second why is this hAPPENING*
CALLIE: *stands up to peer around, too* i jUst see... lots of food.
ARADIA: *plops onto a giant marshmallow that she bounces off of, but lands daintily on her feet like a kitty*
CALLIE: .
CALLIE: *looks up* the ceiling is also food?
JAKE: *struggles up to give a pile of liqorice a good kicking* So now we have to flipping *eat* our way out, is that it?
MITUNA: *Squints at the ceiling and does the dumb thing aka flies at it full speed to see if he'll break through*
CALLIE: not necessarily! perhaps if we coUld jUst... move the food oUt of the way...
MEULIN: *goes poof into some cottoncandeh and munches her way back out* WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CALLIE: or-- oh! *watches Mituna like water u doan love*

[[Once again, nothing happens.]]
ARADIA: *starts to poke around the room while the others try to work on their escape plans*
[[There's a growl that resonates throughout the room.]]
MEULIN: *decides to follow aradia since shes just curious*
JANE: *stops and stares*
MITUNA: *begins jittering more and more as he noms on candy*

ARADIA: *ducks down to avoid goo limb after jumping out of the way to avoid globs a moment ago. cracks whip up at limb to maybe cut through it??*
ROSE: *Is 100% done with tentacles by now*
JAKE: *jumps through the air shooting two guns at once, feels really cool doing it*
MITUNA: *where are the doves*
JAKE: *i ordered them they should be here any minute*
ROSE: *does magic work here now?*
MITUNA: *gazeblasts at the creature. It's really all he can do*
SOLLUX: *oh oops catches the gooey cat UHM*
[[Seems to be absorbing all of these projectile attacks. Does a swirly spinny thing in anger because aradia's whip crack does manage to cut through it, the limb kind of falling to the ground, splattering.]]
MEULIN: *sputters out purple goo, a little dazed and not sure what just happened and whats going on around her* w-what....
JANE: *charges to try and rip it apart*
JANE: *one chunk at a time*
[[I AM SWIRLY SPINNING AT YOU GUYS.]]
SOLLUX: *floats a little to pull Meulin away from the fray, and set her down somewhere at least semi safer* wiill you be okay by your2elf? *HIDE BEHIND SOME DAMN CANDY*
JANE: *yep and charging was a bad idea oh dear*
CALLIE: jane, look oUt!!
MEULIN: y-yeah i furink so
ARADIA: *oh snap time to hoof it away but WILL SHE ESCAPE?*
ROSE: *nopes into the nopesphere*
JAKE: *pauses to reload, also ends up legging it*
CALLIE: *crap i feel so useless, time to dart after Jane without thinking*
[[Manages to smack callie, jane, and aradia]]
JANE: Oh, flip! *stops where she is, kinda slicing but then she's smacked so nevermind*
MITUNA: *dodging tentacles and concentrating his gazeblasts to try and cut through*
SOLLUX: *yeah no time to actually gag at that pun he's turning around to launch an assault on the creature with some good ol' fashioned bullet-speed shuriken*
[[Speficially spews more purple goop at mituna]]
MITUNA: *8(*
CALLIE: *wheeee*
MITUNA: *dodges it all successfully or so he thinks. Splat right in the face*
MITUNA: ew
JANE: *pushes herself back up, wincing a little, then goes to try tearing chunks off again*
MITUNA: gro55
JAKE: *resumes shooting from behind a floss pile* You ROTTER!
ARADIA: *there sheee gooooes*
JAKE: You absolute ROTTER!!!
CALLIE: *she just rolls to a stop*
[[yeah mituna you woulda gone down from that if it got you right in the face.]]]
MITUNA: *shakes head and wipes goop off his face and shouts over to sollux* Y0U M1ND 5H4R1NG 50M3 0F 7H053?!!
MITUNA: *well poop*
MITUNA: *nvm mituna is down*
[[covered in goo]]
[[Anyway, it glares at Jake now because he's ANNOYING THE BEAST]]
SOLLUX: *oh, wanna catch them? NURP.**summons the stars back when they get goo'd oh man*
JAKE: *oh nutterbutters*
JAKE: *head shooting intensifies*
[[It rolls up into a ball and starts ROLL CHARGING AT HIM]]
JAKE: *turns on his heels and runs as fast as his short shorts will let him* Shit shit shit!
MITUNA: *groans as he pushes himself up* ew ew ew ew *Trying to wipe all this goo off*
JANE: *watches it roll away from her. oh dear. flies after it frantically trying to stab at it*
MITUNA: *goo b gone*
JANE: *must save the booty*
JAKE: *protect the booty at all costs*
CALLIE: *Callie begins to push herself up dazedly. She isn't very resilient or used to fighting*
MITUNA: *Shakes head and floats back up. He tries to observe for a weakness this tme*
MITUNA: .
CALLIE: *sits in place and tries to figure out what's going on, apparently the creature is rolling*
[[KEEPS ON ROLLING. It's taking out piles of food like nobodies business.]]
ROSE: *suddenly this is temple run*
JANE: *stabbing is not helping. frick.*
MITUNA: i75 like a ka7amari of pure nope
MEULIN: *finally gets up just in time to dodge the rolling* FURICK!!!!!!!
JAKE: *it's catching uuuup save me neytiri*
JAKE: *or anyone really*
JANE: *tries to remember the simple kid friendly science stuff roxy taught her. there's gotta be something sciencey they can do with this thing since everything else isn't working????*
MITUNA: *nyooms after the beast, optic blasting at it to try and draw its attention*
JAKE: *might as well try shooting it over his shoulder yep* *be glad his aim is sharper than his noggin*
CALLIE: *distantly roxy yells something about salting it*
CALLIE: *i mean*
JANE: *thank you distant roxy*
CALLIE: *ur welc janey*
MITUNA: *thank you based roxy*
SOLLUX: *gives up on his stars for a while, simply remembering how his powers had been ineffective until apparently now. various musical grunting + optic blast of his own*
CALLIE: *they've all rolled pretty far away from her now* umu;;
JANE: *stops chasing it and floats there, thumping her temple with her free hand* Think think. Think think.
CALLIE: *finally stands back up and attempts to catch up with them*
[[It finally does stop rolling after jake just so it can spew goo at anyone that was still pursuing it]]
MITUNA: W47CH 0U7!!!!
CALLIE: *Callie is not spewed, she is too distant still*
MITUNA: *ducks the goo, still scanning for the slightest hint of a weakness. Then he just starts chucking food at it with psionics*
JAKE: *gasping for breath, he pivots around, winces, and takes the chance to reload again*
JANE: *good thing she stopped chasing i guess*
[[It absorbs the food and starts to grow]]
JANE: Oh. God.
JAKE: *robbed for words for once, just stares in horror*
MEULIN: *eyes widen* what have i done!!!!!!!!
MITUNA: mo7her of god
CALLIE: oh, bUgger it all...
SOLLUX: *an even more impressive string of curses than the previous*
JANE: *thumps her temple more quickly* Thinkthinkthinkthink.
[[It charges back towards callie and jane]]
MITUNA: *stops chucking food post haste*
CALLIE: OH, BUGGER IT ALL!
JAKE: No! *starts shooting again for lack of anything better*
[[It does one of those jump dives and starts to roll at them again.]]
CALLIE: *she certainly can't outrun it, so she just tries shooting it with her wand, instead*
JANE: Oh, flip. *flies toward callie to try to pick her up to get her out of the way* Thinkthinkthinkthinkthink!
MITUNA: *nothing but curses and optic blasts coming out of Mituna*
ARADIA: *jumps out from where ever she got thrown, apparently knocked out of commission for a moment. She pursues the monster, trying to hack away at it some more*
CALLIE: *oh hello Jane!*
CALLIE: *off we go*
CALLIE: *Callie clings* whew, thank yoU!
JANE: No problem! *let's get high, maybe we can get out of its range*
[[As it rolls at them, it runs into one of the piles of food, making it go weird gooey, but it continues to pursue jane and callie]]
[[It's pretty big now, and the room really isn't super tall]]
JANE: *well frick
JANE: *
MITUNA: *squints in between blasts. Tries to remember wtf it just ran over*
JANE: *in circles we go, then*
CALLIE: *Callie is too busy being chased with Jane to realize it hit something bad* oohhhh dear!!
JANE: Ohhhh! Where is a fire extinguisher when you need one??
MEULIN: *starts to attempt her best at attcking it without getting run over*
JANE: *remembered a science-y thing*
JANE: *so proud*
JANE: *roxy be proud of me*
CALLIE: *ROXY IS PROUD*
JANE: *yaaaaaay*
CALLIE: .
ROSE: *How did our lives become this mess?*
MEULIN: *is regretting this completely*
JAKE: Oi lavenderbrains! Over here! *distract distract*
CALLIE: .
[[ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN. meulin if you're attacking it, you're gunna get absorbed again]]
MEULIN: *oop*
[[But it's okay because it's going to use you as a projectile at meulin and jane]]
[[also it didn't roll over anything specific, it was just a food pile]]
[[CALLIE and jane
MEULIN: *pchooooo flies into callie and jane*
MEULIN: *she might as well be a purple blod herself by now*
MEULIN: *blob
MITUNA: *Gurgles and continues shooting at the beast*
JANE: FLIP. *flies backwards, facing the pchoo'ing meulin* Callie, try to catch her! *my hands are full*
SOLLUX: *just pewpewpewing*
CALLIE: Uhhhh!! *attempts to catch her, but she's not very strong, so she's probably just gonna flop*
MEULIN: *callie cat pile*
CALLIE: *fwomp*
JANE: *WELP*
JAKE: *there are like a thousand bullets in that thing by now it is beginning to vaguely occur to jake that this is perhaps not working* *much frustrated gurgling*
MEULIN: *gets up and starts shooting magey heart blasts at the thing since claws arent going to work*
[[as it rolls past a wall it splatters a little, continuing to pursue them]]
JAKE: *throws a gun at it's head in pure helpless anger*
JAKE: *its wow. wow*
SOLLUX: *so done with this monster what even is happening how do proceed*
JANE: *continues flying around, maybe it'll splat itself to death*
SOLLUX: *we can only hope at this point*
MEULIN: *tries to walk backwards and slips cause of all the goo on her, accidently flings a heart blast in a random direction*
CALLIE: *oh god*
JAKE: *oh no soul lightning* Look out!
CALLIE: *WATCH OUT FOR THAT SOUL SHATTERING BLAST*
[[Jane has the right idea, and it starts splattering as it hits things she's probably leading it into]]
JANE: *yes good*
SOLLUX: *watches, squinting, and piecing things together in his head. Let's go catch up with Jane and lisp in her ear* you've got iit. can you handle beiing a lure untiil iit'2 fiinii2hed?
ROSE: *tries to avoid stepping on goo to help Meulin not fall over*
JANE: *is getting kind of tired but nods* Yeah. Just make sure the others stay out of the way. *tosses one of her less valuable forks at the thing to keep it aiming for her*
CALLIE: *is still in Jane's arms??*
CALLIE: *idfk*
SOLLUX: ii can take over. *flicks his fingers to toss sparks* tap out iif you need me-- *oh is she? omfg*
ARADIA: *attempts more whip slashing as she flies after the globby guy cuz cutting him up seems as affective as letting him break himself apart*
MEULIN: thank you (=;~;=) *gets back up with the help of rose*
[[The whipping also helps, and chunks are goin a flyin]]
[[It finally starts to look like it's getting smaller]]
CALLIE: *WELL SHE NEVER STOPPED BEIN CHASED SO*
MITUNA: *Flies up next to Jane* you wan7 me 7o 7ake 7ha7 for you? *motions at callie*
ARADIA: *oop gotta dodge the chunks now. more grodiness. but time powers help with that.*
JAKE: *just sort of running around like a headless cluckbeast but hey he's staying out of the way*
JANE: I'm fine. Callie, you wanna go with him?
CALLIE: u~u;;;;
CALLIE: i don't want to weigh yoU down, love!
JANE: Oh, pshaw. You weigh like twenty pounds.
[[as it gets smaller, it gets angrier and faster... until.... IT SELF DESTRUCTS]]
ROSE: *nods* You're welcome.-
ROSE: Oh.
JANE: *whoa frick*
[[Goo everywhere]]
ARADIA: *there she goes agaaaaain*
CALLIE: oh... oh i sUppose we don't need to worry anymore.
ROSE: *makes a face* ...
JANE: *the four of them get splattered*
ARADIA: *cuz she was too close*
CALLIE: *ew*
JAKE: *is blasted back wheeeeee*
MITUNA: *hears an explosion behind him and turns around just to see goo flying at him*
MITUNA: *splat*
SOLLUX: well then.
MEULIN: *just more goo on top of goo*
JANE: That's disgusting. *holds callie close anyway*
JAKE: *these bonbons sure are soft i think i will stay here for a bit*
CALLIE: *attempts to scrape it off*
CALLIE: blUck.
MITUNA: gro55
MITUNA: *wiping off goop now*
CALLIE: now what do we do?
MITUNA: fuck if i know
ROSE: *wipes goo off of her face and frowns when she notices her hair is gross and sticky as well*
JANE: For now... *slowly goes back to the floor and lets go of callie for self cleaning purposes*
[[As you are no doubt feeling glad this thing is finally gone, you start to feel tired. A calmness fills you, until soon there is nothing around you.]]
SOLLUX: *bzzrt*
JANE: *blinks and gets a little dizzy from it*
JANE: *goin down*
MITUNA: *yawns&
MITUNA: *sugar he's going down swingin*
JAKE: *bonbon nap*
MEULIN: *almost immediatly passes out*
MITUNA: *totes out*
CALLIE: *wheeee*
[[And soon... you are in the infirmary. for the sake of not having people from other lands reblogging this memo, we are going to move to a different one.]]
