SpoilerI'm LuFa (also sometimes known as Shakii), and I started the perpetual trainwreck known as Waterworks on the MSPA forums way back in 2010. A lot has happened since then, and I hope I'm able to find a new home for the adventure here at Eagle Time.

Here we go again

I took a page from Superego's thread and added a few things to the first post. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see.

Big-Endian is getting ready to punch your whole body inwards.

You could try running, but you're not sure you can get away. Those boots are larger than your entire body!




However, there is still one thing that you can count on.




No matter how hard you hit Tubs, he'll always hit back.














except when he FUCKING MISSES

Tubs, plz,

>Try not to have a concussion from that hit

>Tubs: Welp. Try Again.

>Try not to have a concussion from that hit

That's pretty easy. If that pillar had actually hit you, you'd just be dead!

>Tubs: Welp. Try Again.

He's a bit preoccupied at the moment.

> Anything useful left in your inventory? At all?

>You still got any of those darts?

Puppet the corpse and try trick the brute into thinking his friend is totally ok, just took a dirt nap for a second there

climb into the neckhole and pilot it yourself.

>Jose: what about that tin skateboard?

>Jose: Cleverly unbuckle big green one's belt. Hope it gets embarrassed.

>You still got any of those darts?

You do have one lawn dart remaining. You'd use it right away, but Big-Endian had already blocked one and even caught the other. They don't seem to be very effective against him.









He threw your pillar.




HE THREW YOUR PILLAR.




HE

THREW

YOUR

PILLAR.






You should probably do something about that.

This looks like it's going to be one of those fights. The ones where you've had to put in a little effort. Being unreasonably angry isn't going to help with that.

Well, technically you're always angry, but it's not like you're some sap who has no control over his own emotions.




You call Flush over. The three of you need to take a second to come up with a proper strategy.

Flush: Wordlessly remove your hat. a steady cascade of pennies falls out for a good minute

>Jose: Uhh. 7? 9? Man you don't know, you haven't been keeping track.

>Jose: Really? Bribing? What makes him think that would work?

So glad I caught up on this.

>Jose: All I have is this tiny skateboard.

SpoilerSkateboard Tech> Tony Hawkspace!

> Flush: be inspired by the spinning that the pillar caused you to do. Maybe you can turn that into an attack later.

Flush: Wordlessly remove your hat.

You'd continue this current train of thought, but you're keeping someone waiting, so you'll have to ignore the sentient pile of funny money for now.

Back to the matter at hand: You need pennies. Real ones.

Fortunately, you've been silently looting the corpses of all the people that you've killed. That's definitely a thing that you, as Tubs, does. Let's see what we've got...

23 from the invisible man.
16 from the only guy who had the decency to bring a real gun.
18 from the trapper girl.
25 from the medic.

Add in the 17 from José, and...




You're one short. Damn it!

How are you supposed to get that booncoin now?!

SpoilerI'm still questioning myself for taking that command

Swedish rounding.

(Haha oh man that's a New Zealand region-locked term, I never knew that)

>Go check the little guy's pockets.

>Maybe Juliet has some.

> Big Endian: Interrupt.

>Big Endian: Give them a pennyrupee

Psst also here is the start of the Intermission on the mirror, if you are like me and terrible and dropped the ball on keeping up on this after the story shifted focus for a while

I'm extremely glad I spent my evening catching up, because this whole diversion was a thoroughly entertaining romp once I read right through it in one sitting and got back on track with everything

Flush: It's time for your ultimate Aquatech: Penny For Your Thoughts.

> Big Eridan: You have two cents, will that help?
> Big Eridan: Punch 2: Two Cents in the Fist
