D-d-dude, look at us! We're like... like pufferfish on steroids!
StarfishEnigma
GUYS WHY IS THAT PASSAGE UNDERLINED
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
I don't know, man. Maybe it's trying to tell us something? Like...like we should get deflate, or something?
StarfishEnigma
Oh God it was dad's experiment gone wrong
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Grabs a can of whipped cream from the kitchen and sprays it directly into his mouth Dude, I need some calories to keep my energy up while we figure this out.
StarfishEnigma
Why did you do that Finnly?
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Because, dude, sometimes you just need a little bit of whipped cream to lift your spirits! Plus, I read somewhere that it has health benefits. Or maybe I just made that up. Either way, it's delicious!
StarfishEnigma
The realization of what that line means kicks in. HANES WHAT HAPPENED?!
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Stops mid-chew, eyes wide Holy shit, man! I think I know what that line means! It's talking about us! About this strange gas that's affecting our bodies!
StarfishEnigma
GASP HOW DID YOU FIGURE THIS OUT FINNLY AND HOW DO WE REVERT IT?
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Alright, first things first, we need to find that lab where my dad was working on that experiment.
StarfishEnigma
But what about dad?!?!
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Points at the window Look, StarfishEnigma! There's a note on the window! It says "Meet me at the old abandoned warehouse downtown. Hurry!" It must be from my dad!
StarfishEnigma
DUDE YOU AREN'T MAKING THIS UP ARE YOU?!
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
No, no, StarfishEnigma! I swear on all the whipped cream in the world, this is real! We have to go check it out, man! We can't waste any more time!
StarfishEnigma
Okay, okay. Let's hurry then before Finnly's dad disappears again! Also, please don't speak of whipped cream as if it were sentient. It's making me hungry for more reasons than one.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
the gas affecting Finnly and Braxton is not a result of his experiment gone wrong, but rather a curse cast by a vengeful witch. In order to break the curse and revert the effects, they must retrieve a magical amulet hidden deep within the witch's enchanted forest.>]
StarfishEnigma
Curse? Witch? Enchanted forest? Are you guys smokin' that same mysterious gas because that's a whole lotta hocus pocus bullshit right there!
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Gasps dramatically Look, StarfishEnigma! I think those words on the note are actually a riddle! It's telling us to go to the warehouse because it's hidden inside a bookshelf or something! We just have to find the secret passage!
StarfishEnigma
StarfishEnigma hasn't read that far down the page. They had been too distracted by the concept of sentient whipped cream.] Oop
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Throws the can of whipped cream against the wall in frustration Damn it, StarfishEnigma! This is serious! We need to focus and figure out how to get that amulet! We can't afford to waste any more time with your distractions!
StarfishEnigma
Ouch, the whipped cream really knows its place now doesn't it? Sighs Fine, let's head downtown and see what this mysterious place is. Just don't hit any more food products, Finnly.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Looks sheepish S-s-sorry, StarfishEnigma. I didn't mean to upset you. And hey, if I had known that whipping cream wouldn't help, I wouldn't have sprayed it all over myself like a demented sprinkler system.
StarfishEnigma
Yeah, yeah...calm down. We're all in this together, after all.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Takes a deep breath Alright, StarfishEnigma. You're right. We need to stay calm and work together to fix this.
StarfishEnigma
Now, where were we...? Ah yes, the old abandoned warehouse downtown. Let's hop to it, boys!
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Grabs StarfishEnigma's hand and starts running towards the warehouse Come on, StarfishEnigma! We've wasted enough time already. We need to get that amulet and reverse this curse before it's too late!
StarfishEnigma
Hey! Slow down a little. I'm still trying to heal from the last near-death experience. Besides, who knew that a seemingly normal group of teenagers could get themselves into such a bizarre pickle.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Grinning Don't worry, StarfishEnigma! I promise not to run so fast that you trip and sprain your ankle again! We'll take it slow and steady, I swear. But still, we can't waste any more time! We need to find that amulet and break this curse before it drives us absolutely bonkers!
StarfishEnigma
Also, remember to watch out for the giant-ass spiders. They gave me the heebie-jeebies too.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Raises an eyebrow What giant-ass spiders? There were no giant-ass spiders! Stop scaring StarfishEnigma, StarfishEnigma! We don't need any more setbacks, we need to stay focused on finding that amulet and breaking this curse!
StarfishEnigma
Rolls eyes Oh, I forgot. Just another Tuesday for us, huh Finnly? Let's hope there aren't any poison darts, giant scorpions or creepy cobras...or any creepy crawlies for that matter. You really know how to pick em, Braxton!
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Gives Braxton a playful shove Hey, StarfishEnigma! Watch it with the creepy crawlies! I'm sure Braxton didn't mean to traumatize you with all those spiders. Besides, we've survived worse, right?
StarfishEnigma
Well, the hypno-gas isn't so bad compared to being cursed by witches, giant spiders and hanging out with escaped mental patients. We've managed to survive quite a few traumas together.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
<As Finnly, StarfishEnigma, and Braxton reach the old abandoned warehouse downtown, they discover that it's guarded by a group of ruthless thugs. In order to obtain the magical amulet and break the curse, they must first defeat the thugs in a brutal fight to the death.>
StarfishEnigma
What's with these guys? Is there a rough-in-the-head gang leader requirement that we haven't met yet? So far these punks have stolen everything from cheap knockoff designer clothing to my mom's social security check.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Flexes his muscles Hey, thugs! Prepare yourselves! The unbeatable trio is here to put an end to your reign of terror! StarfishEnigma, Braxton, and I are going to show you why we're the toughest teenagers in town! Jumps into a fighting stance Let's kick some ass and take some names!
StarfishEnigma
Whoa hold up, Finnly! Can you lose the tights and spandex first. If we are going to do this we are doing it right. Finnly, do you have any hoodies or sweats we can borrow?
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Chuckles nervously Uh, yeah, I guess I can lose the tights and spandex. But do you really think hoodies and sweats are gonna make us look tough?
StarfishEnigma
Krumpleberg snickers Not look tough, Krumpleberg. Be tough. Besides, if you go in looking like a costumed supervillain, people are going to expect you to act like one. If we are going to do this right, we need to dress inconspicuous, avoid attention and blend in.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Eyes wide Inconspicuous? Avoid attention? Blend in? Um, StarfishEnigma, are you sure that's the best strategy? I mean, if we want to impress these thugs and show them who's boss, shouldn't we go all out?
StarfishEnigma
Impress them? Do you guys even listen? This isn't a goddamn fashion show. Finnly, Braxton, put on the hoodies, sweats, whatever you have available. Krumpleberg, quit snickering and pay attention. We need to treat this like a low-profile snatch and grab, not a riot. Additionally, please conceal any potentially valuable items or anything useful we may find along the way. Our enemies don't just throw caution to the wind because they are evil. They like to keep things compartmentalized, hide their intentions, scatter resources across multiple locations and make sure everything has a backup.
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Puts on the hoodie and sweats Alright, alright, StarfishEnigma. I'll play along. But I still think we should have a secret weapon up our sleeves.
StarfishEnigma
Again, what secret weapon are you guys on about? I thought we were going to just steal the pendant and leave?
Finnly
AI roleplay episode
Smirks mischievously Secret weapon? Oh, we've got something better than that, StarfishEnigma. Remember those fireworks we found earlier?
