SPACE OLYMPICS FINAL DAY

[theyear3022]

SPACE OLYMPICS
DAY 4
Around three in the morning, the space station is rocked by an explosion. And if that wasn't enough to wake you up, maybe the blaring alarms and sounds of ray-gun fire will do it. Your friendly neighborhood Olympic coordinator is on the intercom within a few seconds with an urgent announcement.

"Welcome to your Space Olympics! Uh, all the oxygen has run out, and someone who will not be named may have accidentally hit self-destruct. Please file to your escape pods while I distract the alien hordes. Oh, god, we're all gonna die, and I know my sins will take me to hell. Help me, Baby Space Jesus!"

The message ends with the sound of aliens taking the control room. So much for the sports - it's time to abandon ship!

[Note: Anyone "killed" during this section, whether vaporized by ray-gun or taken down by sporting equipment, will disappear from the station and reappear at a random location in the castle, unharmed.]

[HIS SPORT IS SPACE KNITTING ALL HE HAS ARE KNITTING NEEDLES WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THOSE?

The Once-ler, as always, is horribly unprepared for Dangerous Things. After all, he is a squishy human with next to no combat skills and a nervous disposition to start with. Luckily, he has a carefully thought out plan to deal with these kinds of situations, and it is as follows:

1. Panic.
2. Start screaming.
3. Run around until I find Ino.
4. In event of there being no Ino, find someone else to save me.
5. In event of there being no one, curl up into a ball and wait for death.

He's currently working through steps 3 to 4. Who wants to save an excessively tall guy running around in a blind panic clutching a pair of knitting needles?]

[quadro_dent]

[Hey Once. There's a tiny furry alien baring four very sharp teeth at you.

WAT DO?!]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Panic more, that's what.

He yelps a little, taking a quick step back and waving the knitting needle ineffectively at the tiny alien baby thing]

You...shoo or something. I'm not to be eaten! Go on...leave?!!

[ino]

[good thing you were on step 3, because here comes a crucial ingredient to not getting to step 4 or 5! she's pinning the alien to the wall with a throwing knife before she comes running by, grabbing once-ler's hand on the way]

Come on!

[quadro_dent]

[Well that escalated quickly.

Thankfully she has so much fur that the knife barely misses her body, pinning her fur to the wall.]

Grr... [which clearly means "I really didn't need a haircut, thank you."]

[compromisedarrow]

[Luckily for the excessively tall guy, there is one stern-faced archer popping aliens full of arrows.

He has his back to Once at the moment, but can clearly hear the guy screaming.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[OH HEY IT'S CLINT! CLINT IS A PERSON THAT HE KNOWS.

He'll at least stop screaming and run over, because hey lookit you with an actual weapon and an actual ability to defend yourself. And now you get to defend him too. HI FRIEND]

What the heck are these things?

[compromisedarrow]

[He doesn't have any of his trick shots, but he's far from helpless. Any alien that gets within a 10 meter radius gets shot down. He glances at the Once-ler and grunts a response.]

Aliens.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Always the conversationalist. There's a reason he named his cat after this guy]

Yeah, thanks for that. But why are they here, now, suddenly? I mean, even the castle usually stick to some kind of theme.

[cyan_maid]

[Who said anything about saving anyone? Have a ray gun pointed at your face by a troll, Once-ler.]

Freeze, Space Olympics Human!

[whichwayyoulean]

[OH MOTHER OF CRAP HE IS GOING TO DIE BY GUN AND HE DIDN'T EVEN-

...Wait.

The terror of dying is suddenly replaces by utter confusion. Yes, she looks very different but he can still tell that it's...]

Jane?

1/2

[cyan_maid]

[She has her finger on the trigger. She's going to zap this human back to kingdom come just like all the rest!

But when he speaks, she pauses, if just for a moment.]

W-What?

2/2

[cyan_maid]

[And then her gaze hardens immediately.]

Who told you my name? Answer me!

[whichwayyoulean]

[So it WAS her. Wow. Trust Paradisa to make things even more stupidly complicated than they already were. The Once-ler raises his hands in a placating gesture]

Jane, it's ok. You...you're not normally like this. You're just a kid. A human kid. We're friends. That's how I know your name.

[theabjectauthor]

[hi Once. there's a large blue guy - who may look familiar if you can overlook how blue he is - wandering up to you]

Excuse me, sir?

[whichwayyoulean]

[There's some screaming...until the Once-ler realises it's being polite and...waaaait]

Do I...know you?

[theabjectauthor]

I wouldn't imagine so, but since we are offering introductions, I am Pontificate Cadet Monty Kensickle, and I'm afraid it's my duty as Head Usher to ask you ...

You wouldn't happen to know the way to the command center, would you?

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler continues to stare, before wordlessly pointing the way.

...Wow he should so never be in any wars]

[tapshoetomove]

[And while Once-ler is running around, he'll stumble across a tiny alien Luke, who looks very squirrel-like at the moment. He glances up from scurrying around, looking at the Once-ler very innocently and chattering.

Obviously it would be a good idea to approach him, right?]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Well, the Once-ler's never had problems with adorable forest animals in the past.

...Wait no. The opposite of that.

Still, he'll moves a little closer]

Hey little guy.

[tapshoetomove]

[Luke scurries a little closer, wary, before making a few chattering noises.

And then he pulls out a ray gun.

Now he's looking far less cute and innocent.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler screams and jumps back]

WHO GIVES A SQUIRREL A RAY GUN?!!!

I'm going to be silly... LOL

[rose_of_battle]

[And while you're running around, Once-ler, you see a familiar face under cat ears and sporting a cat's tail, that's swishing slowly from side to side as she appears suddenly in front of you.

Aiming the ray gun she's wielding at you, her pupils dilate upon seeing what you're holding, and her tail begins moving faster.]

Okay. Where's the yarn? You won't get hurt if you tell me.

I always encourage this

[whichwayyoulean]

[What is even happening right now? The Once-ler doesn't know. Insanity is probably the best answer he can come up with right now]

Sheena?

\o/! Because there will be cat shenanigans happening. :D

[rose_of_battle]

[Cat-shaped eyes narrow at the name, and the tail swishing becomes angry.]

How do you know my name?
