Wherein Falcon punches out Cthulu

[pedaltothemetal]

Well. That was fun.

I'm back, in case anyone needs me. Or something.

[Perhaps your character was the type to catch some of the F-Zero Grand Prix on TV this week. If they did, they may have seen the strange events of the last race on Friday, where Falcon's victory was interrupted by a brain in a jar, traveling by giant purple death bubble. And

[TO THE FALCON CAVE wait no that's horrible]

[icequeen_aran]

[THAT'S FUNNY SOMEONE WAS JUST ON THE VERGE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTAIN HERSELF ANYMORE AND WAS JUST ABOUT TO WALK OUT THE DOOR. You can bet your bottom dollar she was glued to that TV all week and watching Deathborn Sir Cheap Imitation Mother Brain in a Jar Guy try to curb stomp Falcon was not easy. She is armed to the teeth and by that I mean the Power Suit is super shiny today. Shiny with rage.]

...!

[icequeen_aran]

[AND RELIEF]

Falcon!?

[pedaltothemetal]

[OH HEY BABE nice robot suit. Falcon maybe looks a little surprised to see her filling the doorway with the power suit on WHAT IS THE OCCASION. It makes for many difficulties trying to get inside.]

Hi.

[icequeen_aran]

[Jeesus Christ it's a Falcon get inside. SHE GLANCES AROUND TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO OTHER VISITORS WITH FALCON before bringing him inside and the suit does that mysterious dematerializing into thin air thing. And then a hug.]

Are you alright? [PULL BACK AND EXAMINE] Are you hurt? [She notices THE BELT.] Is that...?

[tank_rockarms]

I tried watchin' your thing on the TV while workin' out.

Is it always as weird as all that? Purple brains and stuff?

[pedaltothemetal]

No, the purple brain was new, actually.

[tank_rockarms]

Oh alright. I thought I just wasn't payin' enough attention or somethin', I was sorta only watchin' outta the corner of my eye.

So. What's up with the purple brain?

[pedaltothemetal]

Remember when I told you there was someone at the school who wanted to kill me?

He was working for the purple brain.

[boxingmidget]

[He was watching the whole thing and thinking it was totally super duper awesome until...what was that?]

You really did awesome, sir! I watched the whole thing! It was so cool!

But, uh, you gonna really race that other guy...?

[pedaltothemetal]

Thanks, Mac.

I, uh. I already did. And all I got was this stupid belt.

[boxingmidget]

...Oh.

Well, did you beat his butt good? He seemed like a real bad dude.

[pedaltothemetal]

I don't think I'll be seeing him for a while.

[prrrrrivate]

[ionianmode]

[SO. At first, Ionia totally wasn't even gonna watch the Grand Prix because she was so mad at Papa. But c'mon, it's the Grand Prix. She couldn't not watch. She caved after like, ten minutes. Gosh it sure is lucky she didn't miss Krang's redneck NASCAR brother showing up.]

Papa! Was that one of the bad guys?!

[pedaltothemetal]

Yes. But he's gone now. Hopefully maybe.

I brought back some things for you.

[ionianmode]

Ionia does not care about things, Papa! Ionia cares about you! Are you okay?! Did you win? Are there more bad guys?

[pedaltothemetal]

I'm fine. I beat him, and I'm fine. He's gone.

[Basically there is no good way to tell Ionia that there will ALWAYS be bad guys.]

I don't know.

[camo_box]

[Snake was totally flipping through channels. It's not at all like he intended to watch an F-Zero race or anything like that, but found that he was rather unable to look away. That brain. That brain floated away in a giant purple ball. What was that all about.]

So.

Congrats on the win.

[pedaltothemetal]

[He was like Glinda only made of lightning and death.]

Thanks.

[camo_box]

[Aaaaaand because there was no easing into something like this]

And, the brain.

Is it gone?

[pedaltothemetal]

For now.
