"well, I'm not sure, but I think that his reasoning goes thusly; you are expecting this to work, but what he doesn't realize, is that the ceo is expecting it to not work, so it still does.and if he's going to say that they simply cancel out, then that is quite simply solved by moving another percent of belief from yourself to the ceo, so it believes things stronger, thus working anyway"

I've gawt it!
Without warning, the invisible SM started to hear a song from "The Beverly Hillbillys" TV show.
"Gloom, despair and agony on me... If it wern't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all... Gloom, despair and agony on me..." SM liked this song, and hoped it would continue. But it stopped, instead. "Hmmm....what if I started hoping it WOULDN'T play?" The song started again, then stopped when SM willed it to keeep going. "Obviously," he thought, "you must think opposites in this plane of existence. Sooo...what should I will for not to happen?" He wished that he didn't know where the goal was and that he didn't have the Cball. The ball appeared in his hands & StabbityMage bolted off in the direction of the goal. |
Arhra stirs from his observer stance. His plans is full wrought now, "That's it, I've had enough of this crap. Expectation has no effect on improbability. Just because you don't expect something doesn't make it any less or more improbable. Now, prepare to die!" And Kirby leaps forwards in front of Arhra, ready to attack his enemies. This is what his spell of subversion had been for: to bring Kirby - a creature who lives for destruction and mayhem - under his control. In addition to Kirby's attack he starts casting a spell and lets the benevolent improbabilty that he has acting on his side to change it. A cone of millions of lobsters spray from his outstretched palm towards some of the calvinballers, snipping anything they touch. Arhra's holding all the advantages - he's twisted the Improbability Field itself to aid him and is glutted with power from all the chaos that has been caused. And then there's Kirby to factor in.

amd then godzilla steps on arhra and undoes all his meddling.

IC: Newb watched as kirby turned from pink to deep red, and then arhra got squished
"so arhra is gonna die, huh? well, the only thing he did that remains is kirby's subversion, and as everyone knows, when two blue mages fight, the bigger one that shoots stuff wins." Newb began hunting through his cartridges for one of the first blue mages. It was even possible that they are called blue mages because of the coloration of this particular mage. "aha! here's megaman! and so long as kirby doesn't swallow him, he's at the disadvantage. kirby might be able to beat most things coming his way, but another blue mage? unlikely. after all, he gets powers the same way quima quim does, and that guy, while a wonderful goofy person, can't really do much." Newb pulled megaman out of his ts, but this was not normal megaman as he is at the beginning, this was a maxed out megaman.exe crossed with a a maxed out normal megaman. "megaman, kill kirby and don't let him get near you!" Newb shouted as adrian monk wandered through and around the area where megaman and kirby were. megaman began pulling out the four chips, the greatest of each fire, ice, wood, and electricity. he then combined them, and split into three, pummeling kirby. once this was done kirby, while battered and bruised, looked like he was about to get up, so megaman pulled out slasher varsword custsword and protosummon. he combined these four as well, forming the deuxhero, which he used, thus summoning protoman to unleash a flurry of sword attacks on kirby while megaman shot his megabuster rapidly at kirby. this time, it didn't look as though kirby was getting up. megaman readied the three chips of the lifesword, and the three chips of the momquake to use if kirby did somehow get back up. "thus ends arhra's career, it would seem, especially since monk has now been through here. I might be wrong, he might just be gone for the game, maybe this was a distraction so he could escape and reclaim his soul or something, but he's probably gone" Newb looked at the footprint "probably" OOC: if you do anything other than say that was simply a distraction so you could go reclaim your soul, then that's either blatant godmodding or you plan to not be in any more of these IC: "so where is that ball anyway?" |
Thaumaturge stepped onto the field, and looked around. "Where in all existence am I? Hang on... there's a vast improbability field here... Ah, of course! I was wonder-working, and, wonder of wonders, I'm here!"
He looked around again. "Hmm... I can sense the Calvinball somewhere on this world..." Thaumaturge started to walk forwards, once stepping out of the way of a stray lobster, thinking about the situation. "Hmm... winning this game seems quite unlikely - after all, I've only just joined. Then again, if it's highly unlikely, then it's highly improbable, and so is almost certain here!" Satisfied with this application of Douglas Adams/Terry Pratchett-esque logic, he continued on, searching for either Jada or DB, the two most likely to know the location of the Calvinball. Just behind him, a small hiccupping spider scuttled along. After all, how likely was it that at this point I'd bring up a minor character that I've used in a few Calvinball matches? |
"that's odd, my batteries are dead, megaman must have drained the last of the power from my ts or something. anyone know where an outlet is?"
Newb looked around. there were no walls in sight "guess not" Newb looked into the distance "is that thaum? hey thaum! over here!" when thaum had gotten to them, he quickly brought him up to speed on the situation. "...so arhra is pretty much dead, and the improbability field is collapsing. also, million to one chances are working again. before, they were being blocked by the field, since they crop up nine times out of ten, but now that the field is fading they should be happening again. fortunately arhra coming back without retrieving his soul is a 1,000,001 to one chance, so it has normal variation, rather than the 9 times outta ten thing" |
OOC: Phrasing this in quite mild language and apologising in advance to people whom this is not targeted at, how dare any of you accuse me of god modding. All actions that I have done have either had a lead up and thus a chance to response, been open ended to allow whether the attack hits or not or been inconsequential in effect. In comparision, many people's actions have been god modding. Certainly, saying that you can knock out everyone and then take anyone's soul you wish without a struggle is god modding. Indeed, if you want to get technical, saying what any character's actions that you don't control can be called god modding.
OOC: On a side note, I actually missed the bit about soul taking by accident. The chance of surviving being stood on by Godzilla is low. The probability of escaping without a scratch is lower still. Escaping with no injuries and somehow victorious is so low as to be called infinitely improbable. Arhra wavers back into appearance uninjured. If anything he looks smug, "Fools and spawn of fools, you forget that currently I can not be defeated. Any actions you do will ultimately end in my victory as long as the the improbability field that I have modified lasts. Which reminds me." Arhra stamps the ground, raising up a dust cloud, utterly harmless to anyone. Physically at least. Monk falls on his side whimpering as the cloud gets on him. "And as for my soul, you know little of the nature of the exemplars of alignment. I am pure soul, rending it away from my corporeal form is impossible. Certainly you have lessened me for a time, but already power returns and with the improbability field on my side, it matters not." Unfortunately Megaman has been distracted by this speech, giving Kirby a chance to sneak up and swallow him. On the plus side, Kirby has a cool new hat. "Chaos is a force of both creation and destruction. I think that now is a time for destruction." He projects forth twin deadly liquid bolts of chaotic magic, entropy in its purest form that would corrode and break apart anything they touched, even magic. One was directed at Newb and the other at Jada. In the background, an epic battle between Kirby and Megaman rages, but this time Kirby seems to be gaining the upper hand. Godzilla seems to have wandered off. |
A flash in the corner of his eye caught Thaumaturge's attention, and he stepped aside just as the chaos magic flashed past him on its way towards Newb. He turned to Arhra.
"Ah, Arhra! There you are! I didn't see you for a moment there, given the giant reptile foot that you were previously beneath. I see that you don't have the Calvinball, and since Newb doesn't seem to have it either, who does have it? Jada, perhaps?" He thinks for a moment. "As long as your improbability field lasts, you're invincible? Hmm..." Thaumaturge teleported away, returning shortly with an improbabilty drive, the precursor of the drive that powers the Heart of Gold. Pulling out a small handheld computer, he started to mutter. "Now, let's see... improbability is a little unstable, by its very nature... so an improbability of... Hmm... plus two... yes, that's right, I think." He checked his result. "Correct. Excellent." Thaumaturge set the drive, pushed the activating button, and the machine began to set up its improbability field. Somewhere in the background, it started raining small doughnuts. Unfortunately for the hiccupping spider, the chances of a small meteor strike at that point were a million to one. Fortunately, the chances of it surviving the strike were also exactly a million to one. The spider, shivering, looked at the charred rubble scattered around the one-metre-wide crater, and scurried out to hop onto Thaumaturge's shoulder. |
Still got it!
SM looked around him and saw that nobody was after him in an angry mob, but instead that everybody was fighting each other with video game characters!
With a quick jerking motion, he summoned Marco, Fio, Trevor, Tarma and Eri from the popular video game Metal Slug through a portal inside a box on his belt. Then he pulled out a card from another box, then another, then another, then another, and yet another. 4 were mana cards, and 1 was a magic card. He placed them in his pocket along with a pair of dice, 5 character sheets and a random Heroclix figure. These he re-placed in a cauldron, added soda pop & began to stir with a sword only known as Excalibur, accasionaly adding fairy dust to the mix. "Go, my summoned ones! Destroy the other video game characters!" Then he began to chant. "Nama yo rinki kyo...." What on earth is StabbityMage planning to do? Stay tuned! :D |
