ITP: Traditional Weekday Observances

[say_thee_nay]

[Hey, how long has it been since some superpowered yahoo with an axe hammer to grind decided to take on the Barrier?

TOO LONG.

Those aware of such things may have recently noticed a sudden sharp spike in the ambient Phenomenal Cosmic Powers bandwidth, neatly coinciding with a big damn ka-boom sound that should likely have alerted everybody else

[science_again]

Whoa! What was that!?

[say_thee_nay]

[Why, absolutely nothing of interest at all... Honest.]

'Twas the sound of unwarranted optimism, milady.

[Or, put another, more accurate way--it's a talking bullfrog wearing Viking armor.]

[science_again]

Frog--!?

[say_thee_nay]

Aye.

... temporarily.

[onthebattlfield]

[wow, that was phenomenally cosmically powerful... whatever it was.]

What happened?

[say_thee_nay]

[In this situation, "whatever" translates to an armored frog spouting faux-Shakespearean verse.]

Naught save abject failure, and the resultant price thereof.

[onthebattlfield]

[well, that's an... interesting sight. Even here.]

... I see. You attacked the barrier, I take it?

[say_thee_nay]

... I suppose a denial would prove futile as well as cravenly dishonest?

[thecarisboring]

What the... ?

[never stays in the car misses the chance to check out the scene of the crime, so off to the barrier we go!]

[say_thee_nay]

[I empathize with your robot boyfriend.]

These feats e'er do seem to draw a crowd...

[thecarisboring]

[if I did listen, he'd have been dismantled a long time ago]

...

[thecarisboring]

...Gee, I wonder why.

[thepiltdownman]

You gotta be kidding me...

[say_thee_nay]

I assure thee, I have no cause at present to jest.

[thepiltdownman]

I was kinda expecting something a bit more from an explosion that big, man.

[say_thee_nay]

More? What more could'st thou desire? The Barrier remains impervious e'en to the blows of mighty Mjolnir.

[say_thee_nay]

[Take a wild guess.]

Ah... well met, Lady Raine.

[say_thee_nay]

...

...

... thou dost not seem o'erly alarmed at my present state, milady.
