RMN ISLAND: YOU CAN STILL JOIN, MMKAY

Oh man, is this the rainbow bubblegum girl with the nose-ring who stole Nightowl's stuff? I like her, she's got spunk.

How did she leave the building? I investigate the exit she took.

Round 10~!!!
Double digits, baby!

You rush to the door the bubblegum girl went out of! You attempt yanking it open, but it doesn't budge even a little bit. Not even a little bit of pulling is going to open this door. You figure this out after quite a while, though the bomb is still ticking away! Windows: Boarded Door: Unopenable Bomb: Very uncomfortably close to exploding! You can still hear rustling outside - is the pink haired girl listening in on you from the other side? She certainly isn't gone anyway. You kick the door and watch the door push open a little. You then hear:
"Ow, you jerk!"
Her voice sounds muffled as if her nose was hurt, which you're assuming it was. She pulls the door shut again. In response you try kicking it again, though this yields no results. Looks like she learned from her mistake. Still... how are you getting out of here?

The men guarding this place are probably 4x your size, and they have no weapons. Their size would probably determine any battle however. Regardless, Jennifer is quite eager to make new friends so she jovially approaches the two men. They both raise an eyebrow. "Does this place sell fish? It's my favorite."
"Hey mine too" they both say at the same time. They both immediately give each other a dirty look then smile widely at Jennifer.
"Doesn't this job suck? It's rainy out here..."
Jennifer is struggling making such coherent sentences, however, they buy it! Their eyes are permanently stuck as hearts and they're fighting machines (though not literally)! You suddenly remember the Sandler bot gesture: two buff men playing patty cake was all you needed! (That's a weird sentence...) You have them play patty cake by the Sandler bots and they go berserk! It's so strong that they're attacking you as well! The cashier flees the building, though if you clear it out of aggressive Sandler bots, you may be able to commandeer this place! Of course, there are always options~

Your brain must have farted a little because no such growth was happening. How sad...

Phew, the moon isn't even visible in the bright sunlight that's characteristic of Honeprop! You wipe some sweat from your forehead and Yodeel shoots you a weird look when she realizes what you were thinking about. Regardless, she picks up on your next thought and inquires about said terrorist.

"So. Buddy. What's up with this terrorist guy? Like, any specifics or what? I mean, we should know what he looks like at least so we can contact the authorities if we see him."
The guard seems to think a while (an expression that doesn't seem to have crossed his face too often in his life) and seems to finally decide on something.
"Alright, it couldn't hurt to tell you. The terrorist is actually a woman. She's in Cleveland actually - we even know the exact tent she's in! However, we have no jurisdiction in that section of the island so we can't get her. The real reason you can't come in is that the attack was an icky sticky bubblegum bomb, and we're not sure how many more there are around the city."
"Hey, Bob, no telling the passerby our secrets!" Suddenly an even more musclebound guard comes out and he is SCARY. Yodeel doesn't even flinch though, and bribes them both to not arrest you or anything. They both wink and get in the guard house, though they'r still watching you if you try to get in the city.
Yodeel turns to you.
"Alright Wes, we need to get that lady and we've a free pass into the city! There's, uh, one problem though. I'm not sure which desert city he was talking about! He could've been on about the Urmac, Dahlariah, or the Lesser Relish City!"
You'll just have to guess if you're going to try finding her.

"Hey, uh, witch. Where are we?"
"We're in the The Lynyrd Skynyrd Swamp bud, dangerous creatures lurk in the mud,
So take care to watch your step, I'll be right here to give you pep!"
"Huh? But I walked through the mud to get here! Well...I guess it doesn't matter. Right now I'm curious as to what spells you can cast!"
"I regard you high I think you're cool, but don't push your luck you'd be a fool!
What I'm trying to say my dear, is that my spells are a secret for you not to hear."
Feeling unsatisfied with her answer, (and with good reason) you sigh and shake your head. Deciding prying information from her currently is too much work, you go ahead and investigate the tree houses. There are winding staircases built into the hollowed out trunks with ornate carvings on the stairs themselves as you go up. You try to ask the witch if she knows anything, and after an epic of a poem, you conclude she has no freakin' idea. At the top are four bark houses all complete with a large hole in the top of them. The wooden bridge up here is in a square shape with the houses able to be entered from each corner of the square walk way. You can hear singing again, though instead of that creepy as crap singing from earlier, you hear a much more jovial tune. You investigate the nearest house, brushing the curtain that acts as a door out of the way. The second you enter you feel somebody throw themselves onto you, and you fall off out of the trees! On top of you is a darker skinned individual with a rockin' mohawk and a tomahawk which is seriously too close to your face! He's wearing pretty modern clothes despite that though. His t-shirt is a green one with a yellow smiley face on it, and he is also in some cargo jeans. You calmly make these observations as you can see your bewitching friend sending a helpful fireball his way from her current position - hovering up in the trees still. It connects and he's sent flying into even deeper mud. Wait...mud?! You realize the two of you are in the mud at the exact time what you're afraid of happens. You're both quickly enveloped by the mud! It finds it's way in your mouth, ears, everywhere... When you finally pass through, you find yourself in a very short tunnel of mud, the walls and ground are falling and the floor is rising. You're not exactly sure where you are, though you assume you're underneath the swamp. You can still hear the witch though, even though muffled. You call out to her and hear:
"Oh, there you are, I thought my heart was hit by a car!"
Suddenly the mud around you expands and contorts until you're in a giant mud sphere. You can't see anything beyond the muddy walls, though within the walls you see many a monster and that scary tomahawk dude who is now coming right for you!
You hear the witch through the spherical walls.
"Dearie, could you make those enemies go bye? I'm afraid if I try you'll die!"

The monsters to the right are stunned by the fantasia of light, smoke, and cold your magical staffs are bellowing. Seeing your opening, you rush into the swarm of enemies coolly ice them over then doing a cool backflip, you burn them all to nothing but ashes while in midair. As you land, the magical floor of the castle dissolves the monster corpse and ash. You run at the monster generator before another little beastie can appear and smash the sand ball attached to it. You're beginning to feel really good about these staffs! But...you hear the laugh again, this time more forced and much closer. She sounds like she's becoming frustrated. Well, good! You look around again and realize that the ground of the next floor isn't above you, though there's an open door up there and a giant spider webs on either side of it. You don't think you'll be able to reach that room if you go up the stairs. With your Ever Blue Claw, you could conceivably climb to the door from here. Of course, there's also still business on this floor like the room in this hallway, or the many rooms in the hall with the stairs leading up to the third floor. Your inner connection with your bud is telling you you're close - he's probably somewhere on the third floor!

Reginald
(3) (4) (5) (6)

You clear your throat and step up to your regal podium. You didn't have much of a speech planned so you wing it the best that you can.
"We the people of Reginaldia must stand together in this time of poverty, we must extend our hands to each other and say 'Are you going to give me a handshake or what, peasant? We must show that we're not afraid to risk our lives for our great and glorious leader, Reginald. We must shine his shoes and construct his kingdom. But most of all, we must persevere in all courses of buttkissing aimed at myself or my many ministers. Their titles as follows:
War Minister Grabblewarb
Transit Minister DrunkerRoot
Treasurer and Records Minister Sutler
and Construction Consultant Bimbo "
You watch the crowd's faces to see their reactions to your decree. There are a few people who look happy, though a majority look unimpressed. There are always other ways to raise morale!

Grabblewarb borrowed the turnip house to go obtain some marble. They land on the spiky shoals, and take a look around. But, no marble is immediately visible. Since the shoals are partially submerged in water, Grabblewarb absorbs the water and becomes super large! From his new vantage point, he sees something shining to the north and a very deep hole to the west. There's a large volcano to the south which gives Grabblewarb a sense of dread - is it going to erupt soon? Regardless, to the east are more shoals and eventually the ocean.

With the few citizens that you've managed to rally, Bimbo manages to make some decent brick buildings! She even decided to pave main street for you! It's a lovely golden color that has a swirl of red brick in the middle. The sidewalk is majestic as well, as she has colored one tile to look just like you. However, there's no electricity or water in your kingdom and the citizens that you didn't manage to convince in your rally are complaining. There are more people opposed to your rule than for it.

Sutler came back with treasure this time! He found a magical golden lamp! He was very careful not to break it, and has added it to your inventory. If you want a recounting of his adventure, you need not look farther than in Sutler's Records.

Round 11

"Hey, girl!"
You yell through the door at the pink haired girl. Then, you put your ear up to the door and listen. Initially, she doesn't respond, but something inside of you makes her eventually question:
"Whaddya want?"
Here's your chance.
"Say, do you need...a partner?"
You expect more of a wait, but the answer is short and curt.
"No!"
Oh, geez...
"Servant?"
Instead of words, she kicks the door as hard as she can. Since your ear was on the wood, she gets you real good, wood chunks even splinter into your ear!
"Payback's a bitch, huh?"
The ticking is really loud now, and your usually cool demeanor is gone. You beginning (almost) begging!
"I-I'll be your slave if I have to, just let me out!"
You hear something of a giggle and the door opens for you. Quickly, you push your way out the room and close the door behind you. You find yourself in a hallway with red-tinted wood floors. The walls are dirty and white, though one section of the hallway wall looks unusually white and clean. There are around 3 rooms up here and a staircase leading to the floor below, with another next to it leading to the floor above. You notice an abundance of ajar windows without curtains. And, of course, leering at you devilishly while smiling in the same demeanor is the girl with pink hair. As you were examining your surroundings the sound of her snapping her gum repeatedly could be heard. You sigh and wait for her to speak as you're a slave now - bow down to that glorious nose ring! Masterfully twirling and attaching it with one fluid movement, she binds both of your arms together with some strange looking handcuffs! You'd rather not know where she learned that.
"Alright, guy, we're headin' downstairs to the reactor!"
You try to go on, but she holds you back.
"It's really boring travelling alone, there's no one to mess with or collaborate. NOT that I NEED to collaborate, but I figured we should do what you want since I'm bored... Unless of course you wanna do what I do, then I 'd have to say you're one of the best slaves I've ever had!"
Moving forward, you realize the handcuffs are bound by some sort of retractable leash-esque device, so you have plenty of room to move around as does she.
"By the way, my name is June!" June gleefully tells you her name.
"Uh, you don't need to tell me yours, I'll just call you Carlos or Juan or something."

Mudhound (2)(5) Garbabarps (6) Wabblegarps (4) (5) PC Twins (1) (4) Nightowl (3) Jennifer (5)

Mudhound is a bit of a (mud)house dog so he's not used to dealing with sea creatures. One sniff and he knows he wants NO part of them. Basically, he shirks on his duties and you're left with Garbabarps and Wagglegarps to pick up the slack. However, Mudhound proves very useful in tracking down the woman who ran off! I suppose he's more used to women. Regardless, Mudhound darts outside! With the rain enhancing the slick surface of his body, he run even faster and smell things that are farther away. With a mighty sniff he can tell where the woman is as if he were a GPS for runaway annoying people. Quickly readjusting his legs, he zooms to the woman who had nearly run out into the nearby war zone! Mudhound viciously leaps onto the coward and grabs her by the neck, yanking her back to the War Spittoon.

Garbabarps is having an almost equally lucky time! Despite having to escort himself to the sponge piles he gets there quickly and rallies all of the young moldy-behind-the-ears recruits! Their youth and vigor surely showing, the piles seemingly congregate into a giant destructive mass that just THROTTLES the Sandler bots. As they move over their enemies they envelop the bots completely and move on to the next as if no effort is required. It's almost creepy how seemingly no evidence of the destroyed bot is left behind. Despite their seemingly effortless work, when the battle dies down, so do the sponges of the pile - literally. Another negative is there's this weird slime all over the floor...

Wabblegarps finds no difficulty in hardily drill holes through Sandler heads and simultaneously helping Garbabarps direct the almost limitlessly strong sponge pile. Wabblegarps is quite adept at twirling around the leg of his victims and swiftly sliming up to the heads via their backs. It's satisfying to see their confused faces before BAM can opener.

The Patty Cake Twins fail immensely at protecting Jennifer, they seem to almost forget that you order them to keep her safe! Jennifer even got clonked on the head by a particularly rude Sandler Bot. Their combat skills are excellent though as they chest bump each other with enemies between them - the bots don't know what hit them! You kind of feel like a third wheel so you just normally dispatch the enemies, you know, with a bidet pipe to the face.

Other than getting a horrible welt on her head from being not properly protected, Jennifer does for the Patty Cake twins what they failed to do for her. Grabbing a nearby frying pan, Jennifer knocks out each and everyone of the Sandler bots trying to get the Patty Cake Twins from behind. You're left with quite a slimy mess when you're done with every last bot. The manager is dragged back to you kicking and screaming.

Yodeel and yourself hop on the shag carpet and head for Lesser Relish City. It's in the middle of the Western part of the Cleveland Desert with a large city to the south of it. You assume that to be Greater Relish City. This time you had no flying problems and reached your destination with ease. Lesser Relish City doesn't look like a city, though you can see where the lesser part comes in. Where's the relish? You see a line up of tents and pots, and there's this bulletin board in the center of the 'city'. Peering into one pot, you find out that's where the relish is!
"Um, what are you doing?" Yodeel asks despite knowing exactly what you're doing. Everything here seems so bland and typical, the only notable thing here isn't even really here - there's a large glowing castle a ways from here. However, this isn't helping your search. How many dark skinned girls are there in this place, even? There could be so many! Well, the search begins...

Whether you expected it or not, the monsters absolutely love the chocolate shield and cookies you have! In fact, they're so happy they stop moving and fall out of the mud bubble! ...Where they're promptly obliterated by fire magic. Whoops who did that? You hear the witch giggle. Oh well... The spirits of the deceased monsters rise up and return to you the chocolate shield they ate. Though due to your kindness they also made it much more lightweight for you! Tomahawk dude is not quite as impressed as them, though he does stop attacking you. At that time, the witch lowers you and replaces the mud in its rightful place. Without a word, the tomahawk guy grunts and returns to his house.
"Uh, that was weird. What was that guy's problem?"
"That is Terry, it was but a parry!"
"Are you saying that terry was defending his house? Geez, I was just exploring. Why didn't you tell me that crazy people were in the trees?"
"I believe you forgot about my plan to eat you, why would others not have plans for you too?"
"...Well, that's terrifying."
The witch gives you smile as if to say "Yup."
There are still 3 houses up there you've yet to check, are they worth the risk of another "Terry"?

Deciding now is NOT the time to be dungeon crawling, you run yourself up the stairs and call out "JEFFREY!!!" You hear a response!
"...ude..."
His voice sounds so faint! What's she doing to him?! You run in the direction of the noise and come to a bedroom with a red door. A note warns not to enter, but you throw all caution to the wind and barge into the room! Within you see a terrifying shadowy beast - it reminds you somewhat of a behemoth, though this one has mortifying pinhole eyes and sharp crooked teeth that jut out of his mouth reminding somewhat of a porcupines quills barring that these are thick. And...it's holding a Jeffrey with only one eye and a shattered blade... It's approaching you...
Your best friend doesn't appear dead, though he's clearly suffered a great deal while you were separated. The girl from before runs up to you from behind and hugs you crying:
"I-I found you...Where were you?! My father is back there..." She points to the door on the other side of the room. Were you wrong about her, or is this a dirty trick? Regardless, Jeffrey must be saved!
"I can...give you the power to save your friend...for a price." The girl looks much paler than the last time you saw her, and despite your perception of you previously, she's looking up at you innocently as if she wants to help you.

Bimbo makes decent work of the canals though she leaves some rough patches behind so it's a good thing you were helping her! Her plan was to dig to the lake that the graveyard overlooks and her expert eye for construction and apparently irrigation prove useful! Some Reginaldians are happier now! Others complain that the new water should be filtered. If you were to make a water filter, you need obsidian which you'd have to go to a volcano to get... You feel like a king (ha! You are a king) of dirt destroyers because you absolutely obliterate the dirt Bimbo leaves behind. Other Reginaldians notice the effort you're putting into the kingdom and are inspired, of course there's always that select group of holes... Sutler is actually sitting on one to be honest. Yup. Sitting on his butt while you work yours the max. Of course, he didn't mean to! You guys dug so fast he didn't get a chance to help!
Along the same vein of news, Bimbo makes a hydroelectric facility and the Reginaldians unanimously enjoy it, though some hold onto their negative feelings. The suggestions should help you!

Grabblewarb had excavated the marble, though never left the shoals! He has to go on a trip all the way back to Reginaldia on the DrunkerRoot and he makes it rain overhead the lake! Of course, he also gets the city a little because he SO BIG. And unfortunately he ends up damaging the DrunkerRoot house! It'll take a few turns before he can fly again, but he'll be fine. Until he's better, Sutler and DrunkerRoot throw the citizens' mail into the house for it to be read to you!
