[open log] Kiss Kiss Punch the Moon

[mansionstaff]

Who: Everybody smoochin or punchin.
What: wedding festivities and the apocolypse. Wow!
When: January 5-8th
Where: the Clocktower. The moon? The doors!!
Rating: P for Pow

They had to do it now, that's what they had said. Now, in front of everyone, here at the clocktower. The stage was set for a blast of a time, as gorgeous as it could be at the last minute. The festivities were bound to be a fantastic time, even with looming orange moon filling half the sky.

At least, it was a nice time before the nightmare of a face began to open its mouth in silent congratulations for the happy couple. (Or maybe that was a silent scream.)

It was a nice time before the masks rocketed out of their confines, smashing glass and walls and anything in their way. The door was made for them, and that was where they'd stay, nice and cozy as the apocalypse seemed to open above them.

The clock tower rang the time. As the echoes of the chimes rang out through the air, the clock above door began to move. It was counting down, and with it, the door slowly opened.

Three days.

What to do, Smash Academy?

~* WEDDING FESTIVITIES *~

[mansionstaff]

[Because it was lovely while it lasted! Come enjoy the moment with Eggman and Flurrie.]

[lovely_wind]

Flurrie's not about to get shown up by some impending apocalypse. She has the biggest, poofiest, sparkliest dress in the history of wedding dresses. You can see her from space, which is exactly what she wanted. Are you seeing this, moon, I'm more fabulous than you.

Knuckles was.... hheeeeere...? Also: The Flower Girl.

[monotreme_101]

WHY was Madame Flurrie so NICE?

He would have gladly not given two turds about Eggy getting married except that the purple lady seemed like a super nice person and he didn't want to be a jerk to her. So. Here he was. In actual formal clothes and everything, looking lost and confused.

Someone had also given him a basket of flower petals and told him it was his job to wander up the aisle directly ahead of the maid of honor to scatter them.

Seemed like a waste of flowers to him so much evil deterioration but hopefully the quicker he got his part done, the quicker this could all be over.

Vianca Was Not Here

[vianca]

She was not here, but she was screaming.

Quietly.

[babylonmechanic]

Wave was watching from the audience.

She was smirking right at Knuckles whenever she knew he was watching.

She would see to it he would never live this down, for however long they had left.

Well, considering Eggman was probably the closest thing Joel had to a Good Friend at this school, he was hardly going to miss out on the guy's wedding.

He'd even managed to find a somewhat well fitting suit in the school's costume department.

Now to try and not look awkward as all hell because when was even the last time he SAW a wedding, let alone attended one???

Before the ceremony

[mach_n_roll]

Eggman was Sonic's rival. He'd reveled in smashing up the good doctor's doomsday gizmos over and over, and he'd gone to the ends of the earth to make sure the man didn't hurt anyone. They'd traded insults, trapped and beaten and nearly killed each other.

So it was a little surreal when Eggman asked him to be part of the wedding party. He stopped short of calling him "best hedgehog" but that was the kind of phrase that would probably have made Eggman explode upon utterance, so it was all good.

In the end, Sonic has to admit, who else would be more involved with his life than him?

So there he was, in the white tux he'd unearthed from his closet.

"Yanno, if I knew this was fount to happen, I would've arranged a batchelor party." Sonic quips as Eggman fiddles with his tie. "Course, any robot girl I got to pop out of a cake would probably have been made by YOU, and that'd get awkward fast..."

Re: Before the ceremony

[iamtheeggman]

"Believe me, any party YOU could throw is one I wouldn't want to be ANYWHERE NEAR," Eggman grumbled, fiddling with the tie. How he ended up in this situation was anyone's guess... Clearly Flurrie had something to do with this particular selection. Either way, there he was, making nice with his most hated enemy.

"Now don't you DARE mess this up for me," he warned.

THE CEREMONY

[iamtheeggman]

The time was now. Eggman stood before the clock tower. The music was playing.

Soon. He would be a married man.

HE WAS SO NERVOUS.

Re: THE CEREMONY

[monotreme_101]

Here comes Knuckles down the aisle, looking grumpy as heck and throwing around flower petals.

So far as he cares?

You owe him one for being such a goddamn blessing on your special day, Eggman.

Hurrah.

BOOM BOOM POW

[mansionstaff]

[But there is business to attend to afterwards! Now is you shining moment, Smash Academy. Will you venture through the doors? Will you lay all you have on the line to blow the moon out of the sky? Show us what you can do beyond this point!]

Re: BOOM BOOM POW

[will_be_god]

[Well. That wasn't the best of scenarios. Cyrus wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but it had something to do with the imminent threat...This was something that could surpass perhaps even the powers of Dialga and Palkia.]


...This is...

[But even with the inability to process emotions, he couldn't bring himself to say the two words that he knew had to follow it. There wasn't anything left.]

Re: BOOM BOOM POW

[feelings_of]

[Oh look, it's Mesprit. Your favorite, Cyrus! Except she didn't see you until she was about two feet away. She realized who she'd approached and cringed, floating backwards and out of reach.]

You! What are you doing here? Decide to destroy more lives before the moon can do it?

[drawin_on_trees]

[Skull Kid is really scared.

He was on the other side the last time this happened. He caused a lot of pain and suffering. But maybe, now, he could do something to stop it from happening again. So he wasn't going to run away. He was going to face his fears. He was gonna do... something. He didn't know what yet. Just. Something.]

[will_be_god]

[Suddenly--Cyrus! He rested a hand on Skull Kid's shoulder.]

We must all strike if we are to have a chance at survival. Here.

[he pulled a pokeball from his vest and handed it to the young man]

Houndoom will obey you. I will focus on whatever may occur. I suggest you do the same. Understand that this is intended as a temporary arrangement...

[He winced heavily as a brief but powerful headache struck--further effects of his massive change]

...Luck is meaningless. Action is all that will work.

[birdlady]

[After her stirring speech, Melia wasn't about to back down either. She holds her staff out on front of her.]

Star-searing flames of absolution!

[A red ball of light appeared, floating above her head. Anyone near her would feel their strength and energy increasing. Time to get fired up- literally.]

[monotreme_101]

"H-huh...!?"

Knuckles, still dressed in his formal wedding attire, looked down at his hands.

"Hey. I feel... stronger. What are you doin'?"

Not at all accusatory. More like sheer wonderment.

THAT'S NO MOON, IT'S A oh wait it actually is a moon.

[trustycrowbar]

Gordon had actually planned on being at the wedding, if only just to use it as an excuse to sneak off and face the danger of the clock tower without endangering anyone else. But he'd been exhausted, fallen asleep and missed the wedding.

He was in the middle of a lovely dream where everyone he loved was being torn apart by giant masks and he could do nothing but watch, when he was rudely awakened by a nearby shower of suspension fluid and glass. The masks rocket past, and seem to hover in the middle of the lab indecisively for a moment before blasting through the ceiling all at once (dammit he just FIXED that) and it's all he can do to gear up and boost after them as they rise to the clock tower in strange synchronicity.

All this certainly happens close enough to the wedding reception to shower bits of dirt and flooring over the whole thing.

"For, for the record, I didn't do that!" He yells to the panicked party that the masks had literally crashed. He can see the doors open as they fit into place, with the moon looming over it, almost close enough to touch.

...Wait. Skull kid said someone went into the moon in Termina, but he didn't know how... The masks hold strange properties of resonance, and the tower had changed, gained conductive properties, almost like it was shifting to mirror an entangled version somewhere...

"Good god. That whole goddamn thing is a teleporter!" He suddenly calls out, pointing a crowbar up to the top of the tower. "Those doors will lead us into the moon! Whoever's responsible for this has to be up there!"

"Anyone who can fight, get your kit and meet me up there! We don't have much time!"

[Anyone who wants to go moonwards, reply here. No posting order, just jump in anywhere.]

Re: THAT'S NO MOON, IT'S A oh wait it actually is a moon.

[megabuster]

The Blue Bomber was ready for duty.

"Then what are we waiting for?!" Rock asked, flashing his armor on. "Let's go save the world!"

Journey to Bowser's Ass

[ihateplumbers]

Bowser looked at the crack team assembled before him. They were going to go inside of him, and activate his Growth Area. The moon was getting, well, pretty darn moon-y up there. And someone had to do something about it. And that someone was going to be the great and powerful King Bowser.

"Alright, you sad excuses for an activation team," said Bowser, "it's time. And, I have to tell you, it won't be easy. You're going to have to go inside me, and activate my Growth Area that's near my tail. You'll... there's... things... inside of me that should point you in the right direction. Anyway."

He looked up at the hideous face of the moon.

"Here's the thing. To activate my amazing, buff powers, to grow large enough to punch the moon into another orbit, I have to be in a, uh, state of, uh, what do you call it. Extreme physical distress. This means that, somehow, and I know, you can't even begin to imagine this, somehow, you're going to have to try and damage me enough that I pass out. I know, I know, unthinkable. But if you try, for several hours, very hard, I'm sure that maybe you can get halfway there, and sometime tomorrow, perhaps, maybe, I'll be weakened enough to have Eggman shrink you down and stick you inside me."

"Don't worry, I give you permission, just this once, to try and hurt me. I know, I know, it goes against everything you probably believe in. But this one time, it's fine. I, the great and powerful King Bowser Koopa the XIV give you permission. BWAH-HA-HA I look forward to watching you all feebly bat your tiny arms at my burly might."

Daisy, you left too soon, didn't you?

A thread wherein you ask questions or just hit Bowser

[ihateplumbers]

hit Bowser

[lovely_wind]

Flurrie just got hitched. Nothing can kill her good mood. Not even doing what she agreed to do with Bowser, as gross as it was.

She approaches him casually before hauling off and socking him in the face.

[punchtheflute]

Sonny had actual tears in his eyes, right now.

"Your Burliness. I just want you to know... you are so brave. So wonderful and brave. Even if somehow we don't survive this? It's been an honor and a privilege working with you these past few years. You have given me so much. So, so much. While I'm inside of you, I want you to know that you're going to be inside of me too. In my Heart."

IT'S TIME TO GO IN (You're going in)

[ihateplumbers]

You did it, he's passed out and you're ready to be shrunk down and go on inside, this is where you do the thing.

not here

[kumagypsy]

Somewhere, in another world, a certain beartiger is holding a boombox over her head that's blasting music at full volume You got this, guys.
