Melody screams, letting go. "WHAT'S GOING ON???"

Kade can't read and watch the festivities but he's trying, panickedly, "Uhhh I can try to." He reads, "HELP. If you WANT," he continues reading.

"And now things are heating up- wait this cover goes so hard what the fuck," Roxy gets up and a bat with nails in it appears in her hands, "The Risen are up to bat, I guess."

Lock pulls Melody's arm to get her out of the way as Flummox claws where Melody was with a flash of gold. He still has his jaws around the pan as the pan is starting to fold from the force. There’s a strong feeling of good luck.

Luna swaps her knife for the pink ichor claymore and continues to try and slash at him. "Up to bat!"

Roxy runs over to Flummox and attempts to swing the bat into his side.

Melody is pulled to the side. "HOLY CRAP- thanks Lock!"

Luna's blade shatters on impact and Jack uses one hand to grab the bat, his golden claws digging into the wood. His eyes glow a light green slightly. Lock is staying quiet.

"...I've broken two ichor swords." Luna goes completely silent.

Melody summons her bow to her hand and tries to shoot Flummox in the thigh.

Roxy lets out a long exhale, "I've had this bat for over three years I'm not letting some fucking Juggalo break it." She tries pulling the bat back, though attempting to make the nails dig into his hands.

Luna just stays on the floor. The pain of her shoulder coupled with her precious sword just getting destroyed is too much.

Flummox yanks on the bat to pull Roxy closer as his jaws let go of the pan.

Kade winces as he watches everything happen with Luna, before summoning his HAMMER to his grasp in a burst of smoke. He tries to whack Flummox like a mole.

Roxy laughs as she's pulled closer, "What's up?" Her hands are still wrapped around the bat. She stares at Flummox inches away from his snout, wide eyed, and grinning maniacally.

The arrow hits Flummox's thigh. Flummox lets go of the bat and flips out of reach, putting Roxy where Kade swings the hammer. Roxy has flattened once again.

The arrow made of light disappears after hitting Flummox so he’s still injured but there’s no arrow to stop the bleeding. Flummox quickly gets out his phone and snaps a picture as he starts typing.

Roxy bounces back to form immediately after. "Gurgle." Her bat reforms in her hand.

MELODY SCREAMS IN HORROR. "WHAT'S HAPPENING???"

Kade blinks post-flattening, "UH. SORRY???"

"That's our Rox--" Luna passes out thanks to blood loss.

"You're good," Roxy steps back, putting her bat over her shoulder, and stares at Flummox.

Cole strolls in casually still wearing his mafia outfit, "why are the lights off?"

Lock snarls as she runs at Flummox. Flummox dodges. He’s still typing and chuckles. Melody realizes Luna needs help again and runs to her, putting pressure on the wound and picking Luna up, taking her to the kitchen. She is extremely light, so it’s an easy task.

Kade snaps his attention to Cole, "THE CLOWN IS EVIL IN NATURE!!!"

Roxy runs up to Flummox and swings at his face. Cole pulls the skull up and twists it to the left as 2 halves of a sword blade eject from the sides of the cane and clash together at the end of the cane creating some sparks and a full shortsword blade, "the clown is about to learn what cane can do to a man."

"You filthy fucking Homestuck???" Roxy looks at Cole in disgust.

Flummox bends back to dodge and does finger guns at Cole. Cole's file suddenly triggers a strong laughing fit. Cole bursts out laughing as he steps forward and slashes at Flummox's leg.

Kade remains prepped with the hammer. Flummox does a rather impressive hop. Lock leaps and tackles Flummox while in mid-air, and they land on the sofa with a jingle. Kade watches but shifts his positioning, so he's facing the couch. Melody walks back in, looking around and aiming to shoot Flummox in the arm. Cole pivots to face the couch and points the sword at Flimmox's throat while laughing.

Lock tries to pin Flummox down but hesitates as Flummox grabs her by the throat. "Ap ap ap ap ap ap I wouldn't!" he smiles at Cole and Melody. They can see his claws on her throat as well.

Melody immediately puts her weapon down. "What do you want?? Why are you attacking??" She asks, trying to get Flummox’s focus off of Lock.

Cole is running out of breath as he glares at Flummox and twists the skull to the right. The blades unlock and push the skull down while the blades swing back inside of the cane.

Kade watches and keeps the hammer ready. Roxy sits back down.

"Now why don't we talk this out like civilized people! You’re civilized aren't you?" Flummox talks like he's speaking to a bunch of children.

"I kind of want you dead immediately." Kade threatens.

Lock isn't being choked, just close to being stabbed

"I'll show you civilized." Roxy snarks and prepares to go full dingus mode. Cole collapses and passes out.

Melody looks between Lock and Flummox. "What do you want?"

"Oh I'm sorry, I think you might be out of the loop on this one," there's still an eerie glow to his eyes, "The name's Jack." he smiles but it looks a bit disgusting

"There it is." Roxy says.

"Cool name. What do you want???" Melody asks again, keeping her composure.

"Slow your roll! I wasn’t done yet." Jack retorts.

"I am out of the loop, thanks for catching me up. Uhh, I still don't like you though." Kade adds.

"Okay! Sorry-" Melody says, panicking just a tad.

"I’m also that haunted account. The guy talking about a dead hamster...god that’s my favorite bit."

Melody nods.

"Ring any bells???" Jack asks.

"No, not really." Melody replies.

"Too many." Roxy groans.

"Uh." Kade is unaware.

Cole takes a sharp breath as he rises to his feet, "You fucking cock, how dare you activate a program inside me."

"What about....", he gets out his phone with his other hand, "Cole shush, I’m sharing my socials geezumz."

"I love this so much actually it reminds me of when everyone was scared of King," Roxy is autistically vibrating

"But like, it's rude to activate that program when I'm fighting you...." Cole rests both his hands on his cane.

Kade is so perplexed. "What the fuck is happening."

"Ok- anywho, as I was saying!" Flummox huffs and flips through a couple of apps. "Maybe you know me for my fanfictions? My pen name is Meph on Tumblr."

"YOU!" Cole steps forward as he slams his cane against the ground, "My assistant has been telling me about that person...."

"Oh my fucking god." Roxy glares.

"You're fucking with me." Kade huffs.

Melody has a blank expression. "Um.. dont know who that is either..."

"I let the dog in 💀," Jack says.

"I WANT YOU FUCKING DEAD!" Kade shouts.

"I mean I could kill him right now" Cole turns to Kade.

Melody looks so confused. "Cool can you let Lock go now???"

"DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT" Kade responds to Cole.

Cole turns to Flummox, "so is this the part where I kill you."

"I did my funny lil reveal" Flummox lets go of Lock and pats her on the head. She froze in shock. Flummox then gets his gun back out and shoots Cole randomly near the chest "Whoops...I should really start turning the safety on these things!"

Kade tries to whack Flummox FROM THE SIDE. Melody runs to Lock, blocking her from Flummox. "Leave asshole!"

Cole is shot in the chest as he groans and stumbles back "YOU FUCKING COCK" Cole pulls the skull up and twists it to the left as 2 halves of a sword blade eject from the sides of the cane and clash together at the end of the cane creating some sparks and a full shortsword blade he then slashes at Flummox.

Flummox quickly grabs Melody and pushes her in the way of the hammer as he gets cut on the arm by the cane. He heads out the door "LMAO"

Lock is still stunned and stays in place. Melody gets flung into the wall and slides down. "oiffuufhfhrjfjm...."

Kade stares. Distraught.

Cole looks over at Kade, "You really should avoid hitting allies ya know?" Melody whimpers on the floor.

"WOW, I DIDN'T NOTICE. MAYBE I SHOULD LEARN HOW TO STOP TIME WHILE I'M AT IT," Kade yells.

Cole smiles, "yeah?"

"YEAH..." The hammer dissipates into smoke. Kade breathes in, takes a step back, then screams at the top of his lungs.
