You mysteriously find yourself in possession of one of your lost cosplays

You check to see the requirements to unlock the special version of this cosplay... You are kind of baffled honestly.

Slyly you make an empassioned argument that you'll provide huge great heapings of Mars Confectionary when you get home if only Completely Normal Dog promises to eat their completely normal dog food now. Unfortunately Completely Normal Dog doesn't understand the concept of the future and so they find your entire proposition baffling and unfavourable.

You tear the mysterious note to pieces with reckless abandon and breathe a sigh of relief. Puzzles are confusing and awful and god do they just go on forever and ever. You're certainly glad you don't have to deal with any of that.

Unrelatedly you have discovered the Special version of your scraph cosplay. You remember all the effort you went into making it do the special effects but in the end you concluded its a bit much for actual usage.

You recall the conditions required to unlock the Special Sanji Cosplay; that you must beat an unknown enemy whilst wearing the regular Sanji Cosplay. You wonder just who that unknown enemy could be...

The one thing you are certain of is that it is not anyone you have encountered since reclaiming the Cosplay. You're pretty sure your Cosplay menu will update with the name of your foe when it becomes available.

Videogames never solve anything but they sure as hell distract you from your problems. You head over to your Gamexus X99 and turn it on.

You play Mark and Stark Souls for a while but fail to make any real progress. Eventually you remember you were supposed to be headed to work. You're gonna be real late now.

It's still morning, far too early to be stargazing, it's warm and sunny and birds are chirping, yet you can't help but feel uncomfortable. Somehow you just know that something is very wrong with the world today.

There's a MARSCO Surveillance Van™ just outside your house

Whilst you are pretty sure its not your birthday yet, the fact that you're a couple of hours late to work and you haven't received a single call is definitely strange.

While you can't tell what function this van is carrying out, that definitely is a Mars Co ™ van parked at the bottom of your garden. There's even a Mars Co ™ Sales Homunculus pitching the delicious taste of Mars Confectionary to the empty street.

It seems unlikely that the presence of Mars Co ™ and Completely Normal Dog's sudden fixation on their products is a coincidence. You gaze warily at the van as you try to determine what your priorities should be and what you should do next.

Just go in to work, tell your boss that you're late because you were playing video games.

This is obviously a legitimate excuse in Dlorphworld.

You're getting pretty sick of these Big Companies and their Marketing Golems, however you can't quite justify physically attacking the Sales Homunculus just because it's existing in a way you find distasteful. But also geez you're so very late at this point, you're just going to have to let it go this time.

(03-27-2017, 05:42 PM)Akumu Wrote: »> Pedal your airscrew on out of there

You hop on your airscrew and start pedalling. As you sit there getting the sails up to speed you irately watch as the Sales Homunculus fills your mailbox with Mars marketing material... At least you assume that's what its doing. They're only programmed to advertise their product so it couldn't possibly be doing anything more nefarious... right?

After a minute or so spent getting the sails up to speed you take off. As you fly over the city your stomach reminds you that you missed breakfast this morning. You're also reminded that your Sanji cosplay does in fact give you a major increase in your cooking success chances and sometimes even allows you to intuit the results of a recipe. You try to remember to make a note in your Cosplay Menu.

Finally you approach the Zenos School, the most extensive educational facility in town. Each of its blocks represents a different stage of the educational process starting with Preschool in Red all the way up to university level education in Blue. It's almost time for lunch, but you're probably going to need to explain your lateness and check in on whoever is substituting for you before you can get anything to eat.

You teach ceramics! It's a little difficult because you only have two limbs.

RE: You are Dlorph. - Myeth - 02-09-2018

Seconding ceramics, and lets go with E!!

RE: You are Dlorph. - Dragon Fogel - 02-09-2018

You teach a Z-level class on how to figure out what the heck the rules are.

Alternatively, Dlorphonomics.

RE: You are Dlorph. - a52 - 02-09-2018

You're not quite sure what you teach. What ever it is, it's at the top of the tower, and you've never been able to get all the way there, because first you have to get halfway there, and then half of that, and then half of that...

This used to be a real problem. You’d spend so long traversing ever decreasing distances that school hours would be over before you ever stepped foot in your classroom. You managed to get hold of a rooftop parking space to solve the problem though. It’s not so much of a problem anymore though, eventually the school had all the elevators paradox-proofed in order to combat widespread absences.

You land your airscrew, taking advantage of the surprising emptiness up here to grab the parking spot closest to the elevator.

You take the time to update your cosplay menu as you swap to your Sanji cosplay.

[Image: 6Mg1kz1.png]

Dressed in the sharp suit of your hero Sanji you feel empowered, you feel an urge to deliver some powerful kicks, cook up a delicious meal and be kind and supportive towards the female members of your nakama. Thankfully you live in a universe where Sanji isn’t a horrible sexist shithead and you are unusually aware and appreciative of this fact.

Since you are on campus you make sure to attach your ID pass to your lapel identifying you as Professor Dlorph of Blue-Level Complex Deductions. You teach methods and stratagems to identify and pass unknown rules in situations where only pass/fail status is known. Your class used to be very popular but lately there has been a little bit of a drastic drop-off of interest. You’ve been considering how to broaden the appeal of your class… but that’s a puzzle to be solved at another time.

Something makes you pause on your journey to class though... Something has been feeling off all day and now here at the school you can't help but be struck by the quiet, an unusual sense of emptiness.
