002: [Present] -> [Castle Footage] [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO]

May 28, 2011 00:00

[At first, you don't actually see much -- the Guide seems to be in the process of landing on its active end. Aside from its own clatter, you hear the thump of a body collapsing to the floor. You hear a bit of whimpering that sounds like it's from a grown human man after that, so that probably means that whoever it is is alive, right?...

KA-POW! ( Read more... )

Mr Edgeworth? Mr Edgeworth! Hey!

[O-oh dear, this doesn't look good at all. Chie's already throwing on her good stomping shoes and rushing out to go find her recently met employee (?).]

[Whatever that thing was needed a stomping. But first and foremost, she had a friend to save!]

[Audio] truthsnomiracle May 28 2011, 06:04:37 UTC

["This is the Guide of Miles Edgeworth. I am currently unavailable. If you wish for me to return your call[...]"

Apparently Edgeworth is in no state to respond. That brief video feed is apparently all the clue you get for now, Chie.]

[Action] stompyerface May 28 2011, 06:24:18 UTC

[Fair enough, she wasn't paying attention anyway. All she has to do is follow the tremors anyway.]

[Of course, when she's confronted with a corridor full of Thwomps, she's pretty bewildered.]

--Wha?! Well... whatever!

[She was never good at the Mario games, but she's way better at dodging stuff. Chie weaves in and out of the Thwomp maze, searching for that telltale shade of magenta.]

[Action] truthsnomiracle May 28 2011, 07:05:39 UTC

[Well, Chie, the good news is that you're clearly getting warmer; the tremors that occur like clockwork are getting stronger.

The bad news is that a thin, spike-free Thwomp with short limbs and a crown on its head seems to be in your way.

"It makes me so mad! We build your houses, your castles. We pave your roads, and still you walk all over us. Do you ever say thank you? No! Well, you're not going to wipe your feet on me! I think I'll crush you just for fun! Do you have a problem with that? Just try to pound me, wimp! Ha!"]

[Action] stompyerface May 28 2011, 07:12:41 UTC

You big bully! You think I'll let you get away with that? I'll stomp you into the dust!

[Chie's mouth fired off, disconnected with her brain except for the anger she felt towards these stupid talking rocks, and her worry for her friend.]

[Action] truthsnomiracle May 28 2011, 07:31:55 UTC

[Rather than trash-talking any further, the Whomp King walks over to Chie and begins to topple towards her.]

[Action] stompyerface May 30 2011, 20:32:56 UTC

[High evasion skills are go. Chie simply hops out of the way, and spies that all too-convenient bandaid "X" on its back. When the Whomp King gets back up, Chie's already behind it, throwing a punt of galactic portions straight at its weak spot.]

[Action] truthsnomiracle May 30 2011, 20:58:53 UTC

[The Whomp King groans in pain and protest at the strike against his glaringly obvious weak spot, staggering forward and struggling not to fall over by accident. However, his own weight is simply too much for him, and he falls flat on its face while wheeling his stubby arms.]

[Action] stompyerface May 31 2011, 04:05:29 UTC

All talk, no action. Wuss.

[Chie hopped up and laid a good, solid stomp on its back, before darting down the hallway to continue her quest.]

[>Obtained: 1 star!]

Re: [Action] truthsnomiracle May 31 2011, 04:25:37 UTC

[The tremors lead Chie through another Thwomp-filled tunnel, one with a light at the end.

Unfortunately, that light turns out to be a lava pit fifteen blocks in length and six in width. Six fireball-like creatures leap out of it, one after the other, in a simple wave leading from Chie's side of the pit to the far end -- a far end that's two blocks higher up than the floor Chie's on and three higher than the pit's surface. Floating nearby is a small platform that includes a question block in its structure.]

Re: [Action] stompyerface May 31 2011, 04:36:32 UTC

Uuuuuuuh... You have to be kidding me.

[Well... damn. It looks like if she could walk on fire, she'd be able to get up there, but there was no way her Mabufu spell would be strong enough to freeze everything. And besides, she'd still have to somehow jump from the top of the wave to the next floor.]

[But the question block looks promising. Chie heads up to that platform and whacks it, hoping something useful would drop out-- like a Starman! That's actually...exactly what she needed, but she'd have to go fast. Grabbing up the sparkly thing, and thinking the 8-bit pixel gods that it bestows temporary invincibility, she used her trademark excellent footwork to get across the pit without much of a struggle.]

[Just in time, too-- the Starman ran out almost exactly as she tumbled onto solid ground.]

[Action] truthsnomiracle May 31 2011, 04:57:34 UTC

[Solid, perhaps, but shaking enough by now to make getting and staying upright difficult. No doubt about it, the scene Chie glimpsed through Edgeworth's guide can't be far away now. In fact, to judge by the feel of the tremors, it may be just around the left corner of that T-intersection ahead...]

[Action] stompyerface May 31 2011, 06:28:06 UTC

[Definitely shaking too much to stand up properly, but Chie eventually finds a way to move relatively quickly through the tremors, and skids into the intersection, nearly colliding with the wall on the way.]

Mr. Edgeworrrrth?! Hey, if you're around here, say something!

[Or just. Wait for her to look around in a bit of a panic, and eventually find you, that works too.]

[Action] truthsnomiracle May 31 2011, 06:45:25 UTC

[The good news is, though he didn't reply, Edgeworth is quite visible down the hall, huddled into a quivering, faintly whimpering ball near some pipes with his Guide beside him.

The bad news is, there's a gigantic Thwomp between him and you. It's not like the Whomp King, it's just an oversized regular one...

KA-POW!

...and, apparently, the source of the tremors.]

[Action] stompyerface May 31 2011, 07:10:02 UTC

Whoa. It's huge.

[Chie frowns. She oughtta be able to make it...over there just fine, anyway. But it looks like it might be hard to get Edgeworth to move...]

Well, whatever! First things first, I've got a friend to help.

[Chie considered the options she's got. Running across would probably be the best option, huh? As soon as the giant Thwomp hits the ground, she gets ready to run. And as soon as it starts its slow rise back up towards the ceiling, she makes a mad dash for the other side. She's quite sure she's never run this fast in her life-- and that's saying something, considering how much leg training she does every day.]

[Action] truthsnomiracle May 31 2011, 07:30:02 UTC

[As Chie nears the edge of the giant Thwomp's shadow, it reaches its apex and suddenly goes into free-fall...

KA-POW!

...landing a mere foot behind her. The impact that she barely avoided also makes the area shake enough to make Edgeworth's Guide fly against the wall and make the Genius Prosecutor himself squeeze himself more tightly into the fetal position. The scent of urine is detectable as well.]
