I WANT YOU to come help fight a monster

[talktothedoll]

So, here's the deal. Mort here has just Echoed back Dr. Maki's ability to create Yummies, which are basically your average Monster of the Week kind of guys. He hasn't Echoed back the full range of these powers, so this Yummy's going to be a bit underpowered. It won't create more Cell Medals, meaning Mort will only be able to make this one for a while, and it will be a bit on the physically weak side as well.

Here's where you come in: Mort is going to create a Yummy completely on accident, and when it happens, the first thing he's going to do is to hit the network because MONSTER HELP WHAT DO. It'll probably trash his office and then leave, and he'll tail it. He's going to need help getting this monster good and blown up taken care of because even though he created it, he has no control over it. He'll be hoping the network has enough combat-oriented folk to take down a man-sized monster acting on desire-related behaviors he won't really be able to pinpoint yet thanks to his shock at creating the thing in the first place.

Since I kind of have no idea how I'm going to handle things beyond making that first "Hey, guys, I need help" post, I'm putting this up here to gauge monster-fighting interest. We can have a separate action thread in the network post, or I can make a separate log for the fight. Totally up to you guys. Plotting here also cuts down on a bit of confusion when I do make the post, and cutting down on confusion is always good. I'm shooting for doing this sometime next week, hopefully.

I see potential Atma Echoes for this poor guy~

Gavin is totally down for helping people out too so he's game.

[talktothedoll]

Hey, if you've got an Echo you might be able to grab, go for it~

Good, Mort will appreciate any and all help he can get.

[dominateartimus]

Xander will most likely want to help out and I'm totally okay with either separate log or action thread.

[talktothedoll]

Awesome!

And I'm toying with a separate log at this point but we shall see because I am indecisive sometimes.

[professorwolf]

Lyall is available for tracking, if they need to find the thing after it leaves, but useless for combat.

[talktothedoll]

Hey, that's still a lot of help. Mort's not in the best shape, and he'll only be able to race after it for so long...and not as long if it roughs him up a little in the process. |D

[professorwolf]

Well, when the call goes out, I will have Lyall reply offering his services at tracking ^^

[talktothedoll]

Hooray! \o/ The offer will be much appreciated.

[scramasax]

Anthony'd most definitely be up for a fight.

[talktothedoll]

And Mort would hate getting a poor kid involved, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do when trying to subdue a rubbersuit monster of the week.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Fuck yes the most useless guy ever is IN.

To scream. Maybe shoot at it but mostly scream.

[talktothedoll]

Every good monster attack needs screaming! 8D

[synonymouswithdookie]

THEN SCREAMING YOU SHALL HAVE.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura's gonna rubberneck. So much.

And see if he can redirect it with the hologram monsters from his Duel Disc since not much else he can do.

If only Diabound were solid, MONSTER FIGHT but Locke can't handle that damage LOL

[talktothedoll]

...he's going to enjoy this far too much, isn't he? ISN'T HE?

[shiromadoushi]

HEY MORT, REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU CREATED A MONSTER THAT NEARLY DESTROYED THE CITY?

(aka, guess who's never gonna let him forget~)

[talktothedoll]

GOOD NEWS he'll eventually grow to be the kind of guy who would be more irritated that the monster failed than that he created it in the first place. ;D

[soulsborderline]

If you need a victim of the week one of your patients is about due for something terrible to happen to her.

[talktothedoll]

Would she possibly have an object that represented the end of some desire or another?

This is important for monster-spawning reasons. ;D

[soulsborderline]

If this isn't too late, practically anything she regains from being an Eva pilot probably qualifies given how her preincarnation died.

This includes the "hairclips" she's been wearing since she got her first Echo.

[flamberge]

Karl here would definitely be able to help out with fighting~

[talktothedoll]

Awesome, glad to have you aboard. /o/

[detectivetroll]

I see you've gotten a few offers, but Nick could help fight it as well! Monsters of the Week are definitely his thing. Or were, in his past life.

[talktothedoll]

The more the merrier as far as Mort's concerned. The monster can go down through the power of TEAMWORK.

[detectivetroll]

Awesome! TEAMWORK is always the best solution, and I can probably get an echo out of it! :D As far as organizing things, I'm good with either a separate log or action thread, whichever everyone else wants.

[talktothedoll]

Hooray for teamwork echoes! :D

At this point, I'm leaning heavily towards a log if only because it might make things a bit easier to organize and keep track of.

[detectivetroll]

:D teamwork monster fighting echoes go!

Yeah, good point! That works for me, I'll keep my eye out for it.

[goldenclothes]

oh man I would love to do this but Rei hasnt echoed any of her hurting abilities back yet. ;3;

[talktothedoll]

But she could come back and Echo one during the chaos or...or...idk but come anyway. 8D

[mezool]

i'll refrain from sending skyler since you got enough fighters but you KNOW azure has to just happen to be around to see this

[talktothedoll]

YES. Yes, she does. in b4 they set each other off on an echo train

[mezool]

choo choo all aboard the WHAT IS THIS AND WHY IS IT MY LOYAL SERVANT train!!!

[talktothedoll]

(Spoilers: Although he regained the ability to create a Yummy, the ability to control it didn't come back with it. Oops.)

[mezool]

AHAHA. NOW WE FUCKED UP. NOW WE FUCKED UP. WE HAVE FUCKED UP NOW.,

[talktothedoll]

JUST A LITTLE BIT, YES.

halp

[healspec]

You have more than enough fighters it looks like, but Ravi is available for healing if anyone is injured in the fight :Da

[talktothedoll]

That would be great!

Especially if poor Mort gets roughed up a bit when it trashes his office. *innocent whistling*

[truthandlogic]

Definitely would be up for volunteering another person to run away, or potentially be a victim. His mind would be completely blown at the idea of a monster being real. Probably would get an echo from it as well since Edgeworth has had two cases involving monsters to some degree (fake ones, of course).

[talktothedoll]

Yes, come to me and my rampaging monster that needs people to flee from it in terror. \o/

Also, if he needs other monster-related Echoes, I have another character here who turns into a bugman monster so there is that too...)

[truthandlogic]

Yes, all rampaging monste4rs need that.

But actually, mostly the only monster related echo that would be easy to get would just be the at first "monsters don't exist" type of deal he's likely to think before going oh shit, they are. He spent nearly all of a case trying to convince two obnoxious reporters of that fact because they were convinced that a monster was their culprit.

[talktothedoll]

Oh, good, then this one will definitely be very real and very cranky. :D

[testsonseashells]

mordin's got a gun and a neural shock device for fighting.

[talktothedoll]

Bring your gun and neural shock device, we're going monster hunting.

[hoennmaihime]

well this seems like a rad opportunity to recall some pokemon-battling echoes

[talktothedoll]

Too bad this one can't get called back into a nice little ball whenever it's done...

[cava]

Cain probably won't be too interested in fighting the monster, but I could see potential Buglar/Metaroid echoes coming from this...

[cava]

Raul, on the other hand, will be all over helping out.

[talktothedoll]

Both of them will be very welcome to it.

And hey, Mort would be happy to tell Cain about the process if that would expedite any Echoes~
