^What the Shrek is this supposed to be? That's totally out of character for Cyrus. I did research on Goofball, deciding how he would react before RPing him into doing anything. If you read my other Cyrus accounts in this thread, you'd notice he's not cocky, tries to avoid trouble(and fails), and speaks with Shakespearean sentence construction. Buuuuuut then again, you did just do me a favor by responding, so
THANX YOUS! P.S. I apologize if I sound too demanding. Now let's have some goofy fun! --Zaidon
"What?! What is...?" Cyrus struggled to unwrap himself, but 'balloon mode' made it strangely hard to maneuver.
Goofball produced a hatpin and held it up, causing its tip to glint in the light.
"This will have you bursting with laughter!" Goofball stuck Cyrus' inflated body with the pin and he blacked out for a moment after a tremendous popping sound. The next instant, Cyrus was rolling on the floor screaming in the excruciating pain caused by the skin-bursting sensation.
"Dead? Of course not! I'm not finished with you, you medieval cliché!" Goofball yelled spitefully as he picked Cyrus up by the back of the shirt and the seat of his pants. He hurled him
headface-first into the stone wall of the courtyard.
Krunch! "
Ooooohhhh" Cyrus rolled onto his back and looked upward... at something... falling towards him...
fast. He rolled out the way just in time as an MK3 arcade machine smashed into a thousand pieces on the ground where he had just been. Goofball heaved him up into the air by his ankle, leaving his head dangling towards the ground. With his other hand he popped open a can of beer and poured it down Cyrus' pantleg, dropping him back onto his head. He then pulled out a bottle of "Booty-Burnin' Hot Sauce" and
took a swig of it. His face turned red and he spewed cartoon flames at Cyrus which quickly ignited the alcoholic beverage that soaked his pants. Cyrus immediately snapped out of the pain and shock that had been gripping him and jumped up to his feet from the urgency of his situation. He ran a few steps, dropped and rolled, bounced up and hopped into a fountain. During his sigh of relief he was hit in the head by a can of pimento-stuffed green olives. Before he could vocalize his pain, the fountain in which he was sitting was ripped from the ground. Cyrus fell down with water spilling all over him. He looked up to see Goofball holding the fountain over his head by its base. He tried to crawl out of the way, but only his upper half escaped as Goofball slammed the stone fountain onto his left leg. Goofball then picked up Cyrus by the throat with both hands and throttled his neck for two minutes straight.
Within one-and-a-half minutes from the commence of the throttling, Takeshi entered the room.
Takeshi:
The throttling continued, with the occasional head butt and/or eye gouge. Takeshi noticed two things.
First, the soldier Goofball was massacring was not wearing Oceansford colors. Secondly, he seemed to be taking too much time on a single soldier who wasn’t even fighting back (not that he even could…).
“Goofball, who are you killing?”
“(spitting with anger)Someone who deserves it! Buzz off!”
Takeshi:
He waited fifteen more seconds. Cyrus was now coughing up blood.
“C’mon, Goofball. You’re taking too long, Nightshade’s gonna be pissed!”
“He can urinate wherever he wants! I don’t care!”
Goofball shoved Cyrus back and he staggered to stay on his feet while coughing (air going out) and gasping (air going in) at the same time, which, before then, was humanly impossible. A golf club materialized in Goofball’s hands and he began whacking Cyrus in the ribs.
Takeshi:
<This isn’t right. He’s not fighting, he’s torturing!> “Goofball, stop. You’ve already won, you’re wasting time. If we go now, he’ll probably die anyway, so you’re done!”
“
Shut up!”
Takeshi narrowed his eyes and peered at Goofball. “Goof, I can read your thoughts, this is no time for revenge, and he didn’t even attack you. He just wants to leave. In fact—“ Takeshi closed his eyes for a second and entered Cyrus’ mind. He opened them two seconds later and continued, “—he’s not even from Oceansford! He’s here against his will! Come on! We're on a mission; let's stay focused.”
“Fine!” Smoke poured out of Goofball’s ears, and as a final act of rage, he broke the 7-wood over Cyrus’ left shoulder. The bloody mess of a swordsman began crawling away. Goofball began to shrink, as well as his rippling muscles and bulging blood vessels.
Balkin entered. (I really don't know if your lycanthrope is still in wolf form, or if he changed back to human.)
Next came in Tako, wiping dust and entrails form his hands, and Raji, blood dripping from his sword. Raji spoke, addressing Goofball and Takeshi.
"The main hall is cleared, but not for long."

"You should duck." Her honey-toned, musical voice was as strange as it was alluring.
Balkin should have ducked as a stone from the very wall flew out and struck him in the back of the head. One from the floor caught him in the chin, righting him immediately. More quivered slightly in the walls, the ceiling, and the floor before launching at him.
Tako was about to say something, perhaps a warning to Balkin about the stone right between his legs about to fly up, when he found himself facing a voluptuous unarmed woman. Tall, but not particularly so, in dark gray clothing that hugged and accentuated her every curve...
"You should duck."
The instant of recognition of the woman, and the fact that there was now two of her, caused him to miss the warning. It caught him in the shoulder, and he fell to the ground. Tako could see the stone of the ceiling about to crash down on him.
Raji went to aid Tako, but found himself with a voluptuous young woman in his path. Tall, but no particularly tall, with such long, lovely obsidian hair.
"You should duck." She giggled.
Raji ignored the warning, and his claymore went to behead her. There was a crack as it hit her cheek, and a fleck of stone fell. A stone smashed into him in the exact same spot. The cracked stone reformed as more stone sought to crash into Raji.
With stones floating in the air everywhere, launching themselves at his allies, Takeshi found himself facing a pair of voluptuous women. That made five total, one looking at him, the other at Goofball.
"You should duck." they intoned in unison.
He did, and the stone aimed at his head whiffed by and struck Goofball. As he threw himself out of harm's way from the next stone, he knew they were puppets. Creatures of stone, judging by Raji's initial encounter. They were of one mind, he could tell that much, but nothing else, which meant they were either very stupid, or controlled by one who's thoughts he could not peer into. |
As Cyrus was crawling towards the doorway, he wound up at the feet of a voluptuous woman. Tall, but not particularly tall, with deep green emerald eyes.
<No!> "Not so fast, swordsman!" The woman held out a hand, and gravel and small pebbles began swirling around it, as if charging up for a 'rock beam'. Cyrus was certainly a fraction of a second from death when the blue gem on his chest flashed and he disappeared, no doubt winding up somewhere else in the castle.

OOC: Boy, that was fun! Hey, VGA, was that good stuff for Goofball? I'm a stickler for characterization, so let me know if I inaccurately portrayed any of your dudes, and I'll edit if needed
I put you back in your battle with Repster's dolls which started on page 5.
Cyrus is a side-story. If I do my scene transitions correctly, you should be able to omit them without changing the story at all.
(To clarify)
- Goofball is a cartoon man that attacks by altering reality. It is inconsequential whether some of his "less realistic" attacks actually physically happened; most of the damage and all of the pain of his attacks are real. He did not literally 'pop' Cyrus, but he did jab him with a hatpin that simply gave him the sensation that his skin was exploding.
- The objects that Goofball uses, such as the can of olives he threw at Cyrus' head, he pulls from cartoon Hammerspace.
- Takeshi was not showing compassion for some shmoe he'd never met before, he was simply concerned that Goofball was getting sidetracked from their mission.
