Tatanga vs. Crash Man: Suggestions encouraged! [UPDATE 10/15]

tatanga, loudly announce the end of your turn!

Using his alien diaphragm, Tatanga verbally declares the end of his turn in a manner befitting that of one playing a trading card game, perhaps atop a motorcycle.

Alas, the Library remains unbuilt in the wake of the Mysterious Spaceman's announcement. In a world where combat determines worth, the power of the spoken word is highly situational and often useless. The nuance of language, notes Tatanga, pales in comparison to the complex utility of, say, smashing someone's head in with a Stone Hammer.

crash man, draw on the wall. In PERMANENT MARKER.

Crash Man takes advantage of his foe's temporary absence to get his graffiti on. Equipping his trusty Black Sharpie, the Robot Master goes to town on the walls of Fort Tatanga. Nothing like a little artistic expression to really show your foes who's boss, Crash Man thinks. A few choice words here, a picture there...




Utterly magnificent. Crash Man steps back and takes in his beautiful handiwork. He posits that if he took someone off the street, brought them to Fort Tatanga at this moment with no context, and asked them where they were, the unanimous answer would be "Why, a museum, of course! Where else would art of this caliber be located?" And Crash Man would humbly nod.

By the Barracks, a proud statement of parentage. Above a crack in the wall, a fond reminder of a respected soldier missing in action. And center stage, surrounded by the burnt remnants of a rope ladder, the evocative, absurd visage of Team Tatanga's titular leader. Crash Man expects his inevitable deluge of awards in the mail any day now.

>Tatanga: Welp, best get SOMETHING out of this whole mess. Retrieve conveniently-placed warning tape from the library door and make a lasso. Maybe what you needed all along was some range!

Tatanga relishes any opportunity to turn an obstacle into a boon. He tears the Caution Tape off of the door to the future Library, intent on fashioning it into a ranged weapon with which to ensnare his robotic enemy.




Consarn it! Tatanga doesn't have the option to Craft his Inventory items. Of course, Item Crafting is only possible once a fighter has a Training Module, which requires a Training Module Manual to build, which requires at least a Level 2 Library. Tatanga bristles at the increasing convolutedness of his pursuit of literature.

Tatanga decides to hold on to the Caution Tape anyway. It still might come in handy.

Crash Man, use said permanent marker to claim ownership of Tatanga's fort. If it has your name on it, it is yours.

No gallery is complete without the artist's signature. Reaching above the busted Terminal, Crash Man inscribes his name on the wall of Fort Tatanga, ensuring his aesthetic legacy.



Suddenly, in the middle of Crash Man's fond regards, a rogue Menu pops up out of nowhere.
