borg was accidentally summoned instead and flomps over

alas alack!

is borgaborg's code working

borgaborg's code is now un-broken and is bootiful

@Sciborg when did borgaborg go to sleep last night

borgaborg has been sleeping in extensively over the weekend and cannot recall

bobblybobble is trying to make some text center itself

a harder task than it would seem, yes

borg had to endure the expected "why did you settle for a job you didn't want" speech from dad who thinks the job market just magically gives you things you want

there's a local (tiny) "amusement park" (generous to call it that) which we are planning a trip to, to celebrate school stress being over next weekend

that sounds fun :)

in sadder news, I tried to convince a friend to come the last week of school and she said "no, why, sleep, sleep important"

sleep important, but bobble important-er

this was a friend who was perpetually rolling into school at the very last minute when it was in-person; she is a very much night owl ;-; and I am not

bobble's night owl skills will grow in college :p

hopefully friend finds time

friend has agreed to go to park with us

yay!

good night bobble-friend

bobble is not sleeping!

what???

bobble's parents have not noticed time and they still have a TV episode on

but... but i've made a routine out of wishing you good night at 1AM :p

bobble's parents have declared we should sleep now

good night birdy friend

good night++ <3

I'm free until 2\

a bobble has lunch now

Tree would like to perhaps finish shoes

Tree is a little sad

I entered an essay contest, and the results were supposed to be out today on the website... they said they're in the process of contacting winners, and I haven't gotten anything in my inbox so I don't think I won

:( oh well

a bobble is back

o/

space nerd is ready to go

I don't think borgaborg is free :/

'borg!

i have a small window of time between now and dinner, but might have to scoot for food o/

borgaborg

tree? @PrinceNorthLæraðr

Here!

borgaborg noises

(Give me one minute, let me run to the bathroom)

how goes the life of the bobble?

Back

pulls up skill list

I believe a certain Space Jock had barged through a door

So we were right at confronting the bounty hunters

scrambles to copy space jock skill list

(Let me pull up the last comment)

One of the lizardfolk notice you. He responds in a robotic voice, "hey, that's our Quibble!" It sounds like he's wearing translator technology

[6] to find somewhere to hide

"Yeah, and you're a really bad bounty hunter" and [1] to dive behind cover

oh dear

ooh, I'll take Hiding (2)

(you're the jock, what did you expect)

in retrospect hiding is not my strong suit

@bobble [s] Quinn, you seem to have been paying attention in your "Space Magic Essentials" class. You disappear

@Sciborg [f] Apparently bashing into doors does NOT make you good at hiding

Technically it's "Quinn", but I can totally see "Quill" being the nickname of the space nerd

(Now might be a good time to inspect for weapons ;))

@bobble (oh, whoops, I thought something was off, let me fix)

hugs Blueball [6] to find some sort of shielding device on me

[3] to try and figure out which panel/technological thingy steers the ship, so I can make a grab for it.

before i get shot, that is

@bobble [s] You find another book on you, entitled, "Space Dark Matter Manipulation". Somebody's been sneaking books out of the restricted section

Dark Matter Funkiness (2)

@Sciborg [f] You realize this is the control room for power, not a control room for navigation

well, when in doubt, [5, 5] to Be a Jock and roundhouse punch the alien.

Hehe

it seems like a very Casey thing to do

whispers to self "oh no not again"

2 XP to make that Punching Things [3], too, because why not

so you've made a Fighter, is what I hear

@Sciborg [s] You successfully roundhouse punch the alien. It looks angrier than it's hurt. You may need some equipment. Have you checked what you're carrying?

i cannot confirm or deny i am building a Fighter In Space

err, [3] to check what's on me?

@Sciborg [f] You're not carrying anything on you. It might've fallen out while you were bashing through the door.

Meanwhile, the alien tries to swipe at you.

[3] to see if I have a weapon for Casey's backup

[6] to dodge that swipey boi

@bobble [s] Quinn seems to have been smart enough to smuggle an extra pair of power gloves for Casey, though usually forbidden for students such as yourselves to handle.

@Sciborg [s]. I'll let you decide how cool you dodge the monster ;)

[1, 5] to use Dark Matter Funkiness to get to gloves to Casey... somehow

[s, hehe, I rolled a 3 dice against that and got 1,2,2. Lucky little crow] You open a badass wormhole, with the gloves dropping directly above Casey's head. Yikes!

(casey ducks dramatically like a badass and gains Dodge Dramatically (2))

(hehe)

hugs Blueball again while fading back into hiding place

[4, 2, 6] to grab the gloves and PUNCH THE ALIEN FOR REAL THIS TIME

(so I'm Willow and Sciborg is Buffy, got it)

@Sciborg (hehe, you tied my four rolls to your three rolls [1,2,3,6]) In one motion you put on the gloves and punch the alien so hard that it evaporates.

"WHA-BAMMMM"

[4] to do a Gay Victory Pose

Do you say "WHA_BAMMMM" out loud?

oh, absolutely

@Sciborg [s] You do a pose so gay you're sure that your crush from school has to have noticed this (even if they're in school and you're in the middle of space)

(isn't there... more than one alien?)

you bet heck i'm spending to get Pose In A Super Gay Way (2)

@bobble (Oh, I was getting there)

(Casey, you should only pose after the battle is done)

The rest of the aliens are now terrified of the gay victory pose and make a mad dash towards the door through the hallway, escaping

"COWARDS"

Casey's aura is simply too powerful for them to handle, apparently

Casey blows on the tops of his power gloves like a cool cowboy blowing smoke off his guns.

[2, 4] for some dramatic posing music

"Maybe now that cute smuggler guy on Rigelius XI will notice me"

@bobble [f, 5,4] You end up playing some cheesy rom-com movie soundtrack instead. It's very anti-climatic

"Sorry, Casey"

Casey unironically bops to it while he checks the room for keys, indicators of where the navigation room is, etc. [5]

[4] to attempt a similar search

@Sciborg [f, 6] Casey seems to be only very good at punching things.

Understandable.

@bobble [s, 2] You find a map of the ship by one of the power sources. You are currently on the bottom level of three. The second level of the ship houses weapons and escape pods, and a room labeled "smuggles goods", and the first houses the navigation room. You also note the directions to the stairs and exits.

Searching (2)

points dramatically "To the navigation room!"

"Casey, you do realize that pointing doesn't actually do anything?"

Blueball boops over to the "smuggled goods" section of the map. It looks like it's about to cry.

"Pointing is fun ;-;"

snuggles Blueball "Aren't we supposed to save the floofers?"

"Okay, first we save the cutie poofer friends, and then the navigation room so we can drive this thing outta here."

memorizes map

Is the door in the "smuggled goods" direction locked?

Casey pretends he's also being Smart and memorizing the map, but is very much not.

Closed and locked yes. You may need to do more door-busting or look more into that Dark Matter book of yours (It's basically space magic ;P)

[3, 2] to use Dark Matter Funkiness to magic open the door

wavs hands in weird motions "boopit bop, door is unlocked?"

"Space magic."

Casey does dramatic jazz hands.

is this a Gay Pose?

[f, 5,2] Unfortunately, the words to the spell do not seem to be "boopit bop, door is unlocked."

"Casey, want to do it the old-fashioned way?"

"Your space magic didn't work... can I punch it?"

[3, 3, 6] to Break Things and smash the door down.

(with the gloves on, I assume)?

(yeah - they're his Punchy Gloves now)

[s, 2,4] The door breaks down with ease, like jello

(did not mean to evolve Casey into a doofy gay himbo who punches things a lot, but here we are)

(hahahaha)

(the dice wanted this. follow the dice)

[4, 4] to do a celebratory Gay Pose, as is tradition.

"Let's go save the floofies! <3"

don't you have 2 dice for that?

yup, woops

@Sciborg [s, 4] The floofs seem to be at ease by your gay victory pose.

In the room you count about two dozen Quibbles behind security bars. They're all crying, though some of them stopped after seeing Blueball. You discretely notice one cage is empty

(wait, this leads directly to the floofers? I thought it led to a hallway which led to the floofers or something)

(borg must scoot for dinner prep)

@bobble (Oh, no I assumed you walked through the hallway to the Quibbles)

(the door to the hallway was wide open because the lizards ran out through the same door)

(borgborgs away)

"Is the door in the "smuggled goods" direction locked?" (Ah, I read that as "door into the smuggled goods". My bad)

Perfect timing, I need to leave soon to hang out with friends(tm) :P

How is tree's dm-ing?

bobble is having fun exploring what space magic nerd can do

Hehe
