The Coffee Room

[AMimsyBorogove]

Really? You're trying to boil me alive now? I'm a PHOENIX! If you think you can kill me with something so simple as heat, then you've got a new thing coming. Still, you're doing well, Scarab, and I'm getting a little tired of sticking to a single reference I make over and over again, so I think instead of destroying you all right now with my Fujiyama Volcano, I'll change things up a bit...

*spawns a cape lined with a moving image of the universe, countless stars and galaxies spiraling about inside it, and sprouts jet black wings, a single, glowing red eye that's suspiciously similar to the Eye of Sauron appearing across chest.*

Let's see how you deal with something a little hotter than phoenix fire... these flames... ARE THAT OF A SUN!

*spawns gigantic arm cannon known as the Third Leg of Yatagarasu and opens fire*

EXPLOSION SIGN ~ PETA FLARE!

*massive rain of suns ensues, meeting the oncoming aurora blast in a massive storm of light and steam.*

[Victin]

Okay then, I'll start with a truly powerful wave of attacks:
Burning Sign ~ Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi
Darkest Hour ~ Knight of Momus
Celestial Wrath ~ Shango's Battery Ram

[AMimsyBorogove]

WAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT.

VICTIN IS RINNOSUKE?! How the hell did you get Kusanagi?!
...

Oh, screw it. Intense Radiation ~ High Tension Blade!

*spawns laser blade from arm cannon and dives through a storm of darkness and celestial danmaku, before stabbing directly at Victinnosuke's head*

[Victin]

WAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT.

...

*spawns laser blade from arm cannon and dives through a storm of darkness and celestial danmaku, before stabbing directly at Victinnosuke's head*

Jisatsu otoko ~ Bakuhatsu-tekina heddo

[AMimsyBorogove]

...

"Suicide Boy ~ Explosion-Style Heddo?" What the hell even IS that?

Nuclear Fusion ~ Uncontrollable Nuclear Reaction.

*drops five suns on Victin's head.*

The compliment is appreciated, and, um... Mimsy? Think about this for a moment. We're in the coffee room, in a pocket dimension created by the sheer power of fiction, you know, symbolism, metaphors, that kind of thing... you just threw a literal sun at me. And my user name is Scarab.

I'd say you have about three seconds for the implications of that to sink in before... oh never mind *Holds out a hand, ice cracking and fissing, fully aware that this just isn't RIGHT, they're used to cold and ice and everything that ISN'T this, but they do their job anyway and keep her from burning up. Her outstretched hand stops the flames of the sun dead in place, with the kind of power she hasn't actually had the potential to use before. throwing them back into Mimsy's face, watching the world implode.*

Damn it, I've been waiting for you to use an attack that actually DID specifically invovle the sun and not just solar flares or general volcanic heat, seriously. Why do you think I walk around here with ice in my veins?

[Victin]

...

"Suicide Boy ~ Explosion-Style Heddo?" What the hell even IS that?

Nuclear Fusion ~ Uncontrollable Nuclear Reaction.

*drops five suns on Victin's head.*

I exploded my head, dumbass.
Mimsy OP ~ One and One Hundred Zeroes: Years of Apocalypse in One Second

[AMimsyBorogove]

...

Okay, screw it. Scarab, I'm fully prepared for you to try to use the sun to beat me. Wanna know why? Because I just transformed into the Yatagarasu, the Three-Legged Crow who embodies the sun itself! On top of that, I'm powered by the three things more powerful that symbolism and typos here in this coffee room... TOUHOU PROJECT, SHOUT OUTS, AND NUKES! *cue power aura that would make DBZ protagonists jealous*

"Lord Yatagarasu, the Black Sun. Thank you for giving me your power. The sunlight that rains down on the Earth is a nuclear furnace that will create new atoms. My ultimate nuclear fusion will burn up every body, heart, ghost, and fairy!

TRY FREEZING PURE NUCLEAR ENERGY, LITTLE BEETLE. SUBTERRANEAN SUN.

*proceeds to transform into a sun, sucking in and absorbing everything that was just thrown at me and everyone in the room, before burning the world with nuclear flames and endless storms of danmaku.*

*Watches the world burn with some surprise, and the coffee room has, once again, been obliterated, fragments of Sicon's power sparking around the room that his great grandchildren will probably feel burning.*

Are you quite done, Sicon? Only this room is, as I'm sure I've mentioned, fuelled by narrative, and I've still got about eight thousand years of it on you. The little beetle isn't just a concept from some videogame, it's a myth rooted in one of the most ancient civilisations in known history. People prayed to that god to keep the sun moving So technically the stronger your sun, the colder I get just because history and narrative convention demands that the balance exists. Something has to even things out.

All you've got is an overpowered bird, and I'm willing to bet it never actually symbolised, or was even just inspired by, something real. It never compelled an entire civilisation to piety, it never started wars, And even if it did... I doubt it'd be as old as the Egyptians. Doesn't even matter how much inspires the characters you're using, you're still going up against the power of a god. Not to mention my typos. Aaaand now you've made it boring again by making us both go god-tier Quality, dear. Not quantity.

So. Just this once... *Knocks what's left of the nuclear sun away with an outstretched hand, burning away pretty much all the ice encasing her figners, but that's it. Shakes her hand out painfully and calmly walks away.* Aaaand I think we're done here, right? Later folks.

I exploded my head, dumbass.
Mimsy OP ~ One and One Hundred Zeroes: Years of Apocalypse in One Second

*...Ow. Picks Victin up with the hand that isn't still encased in ice, because that would be a kilelr brain freeze... well, if he still had a head. Pops him in the pillow fort and waits for reality to reset again.* You know, you've really got to give him points for effort, I mean I've never dared go for suicide as a gameplan. Kid's got pzass.

Now where's Eli? I owe her a drink.

[The Finch]

...

I leave for a couple days, and this is what happens?

TRANSFORM!

(Turns into a plate of spaghetti)

[S_o_S]

I'm going to try that too!

Transform!

*becomes a piece of string*

... Beware my power?

[Victin]

I'm going to try that too!

Transform!

*becomes a piece of string*

... Beware my power?

*creepy smile*
*uses S_o_S as dental floss*

[S_o_S]

I FEEL SO VIOLATED RIGHT NOW OH GOD SOMEONE HELP ME

[AMimsyBorogove]

Hah. Don't be silly. The Yatagarasu was revered as a Sun God by... well, the entire ancient Asian world, actually, albeit under different names. Garuda, Yatagarasu... it doesn't matter, it's still the same myth. You may have a slightly older veneration on your side, but what I lack slightly in time, I make up for in quantity!

But, whatever. *reappears in a flash of nuclear flames, mysteriously having acquired a mug of Green Stuff* Since at this point it's just us nuking everything, two gods locked in an endless struggle, it is getting a bit boring, so I think I'll desist for now as well.

On another note, I really, really need to create a fight thread now. Give me a little while to iron a few things out, and I'll see about making one.

Also, SoS, you do realize nothing's even happening to you right now, right? Victin blew up his own head. How could he possibly floss anything?

[JackAlsworth]

GOD CAN'T HELP YOU NOW!!

[Sicon112]

I can't help but notice Scarab's post is directed at ME by name when she is talking about Mimsy... What is up with that?

[AMimsyBorogove]

No clue. I think it was just another typo. Thanks to that, however, I can redirect all damage done by Scarab's attack to you. And, since it's one of Scarab's typos, it's literally inescapable, since its effect proceeds its cause.

*Sicon = Gae Bolg'd*

[H22]

How did you get all that through customs?

[Pixelmage]

There is no customs. You just went through an half-illusion that stripped you of your gear for no reason other than to let you helpless inside this place.

We could have warned you so you'd be able to avoid it... But... Where's the fun in that?

[Genndy Oda C.O.G.]

Hello, all. What's going on?

Well, that was entertaining..

...No, you're missing the point of what I said. History and narrative convention demands that a balance exists. Besides which yours is just INSPIRED by a sun myth. Mine actually IS the symbol of the sungod and it's my actual name. Names have power.You can't destroy the thing that's pushing the sun. Its the thing that's pushing the sun. The extra age of my myth in comparison to yours gives the myth age based seniority and ergo, I win the game of omnipotent rock-paper-scissors. The best you can really do is stalemate. Hence why I'm still standing.

No clue. I think it was just another typo. Thanks to that, however, I can redirect all damage done by Scarab's attack to you. And, since it's one of Scarab's typos, it's literally inescapable, since its effect proceeds its cause.
*Sicon = Gae Bolg'd*

I think I have a tendency for mixing you two up. Probably soemthing to do with the fact you both use pretty damn ismialr attack patterns. And no you can't. The typos thing only works for me. I meant you, ergo it hits you. Leave your brother outta this, buster. I'll murder him in my own time. Which is not right now, I'm trying not to fail epically at Nano here. Here's a secret: I am so not going to win nano this year.

On another note, I really, really need to create a fight thread now. Give me a little while to iron a few things out, and I'll see about making one.

*Flails in excitement*

[Victin]

*grows up 7 heads, and 3 long necks, which grows 4 heads*
CURSE YOU SoS!!!

[eli_gone_crazy]

*grows up 7 heads, and 3 long necks, which grows 4 heads*
CURSE YOU SoS!!!

hey victin... I got superpowers

[Genndy Oda C.O.G.]

Could we put the endless post of violence and absurd displays of power on hold until the rumored "fight thread" is created? The Coffee Room is a place of insanity, but insanity≠violence.
