>Activate your LVL 1 RHYTHMTECH: THE BEE-SIDE

You get up to get down with your LEVEL ONE RHYTHMTECH: THE BEE-SIDE, manifesting some dream-like riffs set to a ghostly howl and a slow buzzing beat courtesy of your SYNTHESIZER MODULE.




The WASP-BOT violently jostles between the introspection of your SOUND WAVES and the MORALITY OF ITS OWN ACTIONS!

Now hit 'em with the ol' 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'. Psychological warfare babyyyy

>RR: You've got it on the ropes! Maybe now that you've shaken it up, you can reason with it?

it looks like you shook it up quite a bit







You're not sure what the WASP is doing. It looks like it's got some sort of HARD-LIGHT DRUM.








holy shit stop it, you don't want another noise complaint




it cracked your WINDOW too, aw man

While your EARS are able to withstand this sort of punishment, you can't say the same for the BUILDING.

YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT NOOOOOOO

>RR: Make absolutely sure you get a picture or video of this thing so you can prove the noise isn't your fault this time.

Window's broken... more beats surely, yes? It must be killer beat to beat killer bee, must it? Yes... surely beats more broken windows.

>Nettled Neighbor: Grouse to yourself about how that Righteous Roomie never learns.

You pull out your PHONE and begin recording. This time, it isn't you! And you'll have proof!

You are a NETTLED NEIGHBOUR. You had just finished baking a DELICIOUS PIE and was about to set it on the WINDOW SILL to cool, but good heavens, you were startled by an absolutely terrible noise! Your PIE has been ruined! It must have been THAT HARLOT FROM NEXT DOOR again.

Equip knife

Better let your followers know that tonight's baking stream will have to be delayed.

>NN: Challenge your internalized misogyny as you realize you're slut-shaming another woman by calling her a harlot.

Wonder how you ever gain access to those upper cabinets.

Lament the loss of pie.

That PIE was meant to be your project for today! The culmination of an entire day of hard work! You made the FILLING and DOUGH from scratch and slaved over your MESSY COUNTERTOPS and HOT OVEN for hours just to make sure it would cook evenly and without any spills! And for what?! All to be ruined by your nuisance of a NEIGHBOUR! You tell her to keep it quiet, but the young lady never learns! It's inappropriate! It's unbecoming! You struggle to maintain your composure. You really want to give that WOMAN a piece of your MIND. Or maybe a ROLLING-PIN to the KNEES.




But at the same time, you're not entirely blameless. You're not stuck here; you've always been free to leave and put in a request to move to another APARTMENT. There's also nothing stopping you from baking in VIRTUAL REALITY, which would guarantee you peace and quiet. But you never did. You're not sure if it's you being lazy, or because you fear that some spiteful part of you secretly enjoys having someone to dislike.

You just want to be a good HOUSEWIFE.

Maybe you should just go next door and have an honest heart-to-heart. Try to connect with the GIRL and see if you can understand her motivations and aspirations. Yes, that would be nice. You could even have her over for TEA.

Equip knife

You equip the KNIFE!

>NN: Think about your partner while holding this knife, for no particular reason.

LV8 KNIFETECH: DOCK THE HEAVENS

You have a FREE HAND, so you figure you'll also kit yourself out with your ROLLING PIN. You won it by entering sweepstakes! It's electronic!




Before you leave, you opt to close your WINDOW, as you don't want to let in a draft.




You never were a fan of how high up you were. Perhaps you could ask for a home with a nice GARDEN. Or maybe pencil in an order for a pretty little PLANTER BOX...

>NN: Consider that perhaps the ruckus isn't ENTIRELY her fault this time.

Well. She's dead. Guess that solves that problem.

Anyone who can smash a pie into their ceiling on accident can hurl a rolling pin with enough force to knock out a drone.

Rolling pins are basically boomerangs right?

NN: Fruit ninja one of that wasps wings off; then when it crashes to the ground your neighbor should be a pile of bruises rather than like. Paste on the pavement

>NN: Consider that perhaps the ruckus isn't ENTIRELY her fault this time.

Oh dear! Oh dear oh dear oh dear! If a WASP that large got into your ROOM, you'd be doing the same thing!

You don't think that there's any ROLLING PIN that works like that. However, your ELECTRONIC ROLLING PIN is different! You might be able to do something with it!




You don't know if this is helping!

>RR: Do you have any other rhythmtechs that would help here, like FREE BIRD or STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN?
