AdultStuck (SBURB City) Topic III: (Rebooted as Librarian's Grimoire; Details inside)

[Godfrey]

>IS and CR: Suit up and get flarpin'...ironically of coarse.

You are about to SUIT UP and GET SHIT DONE when a WILD MUSICAL SEQUENCE suddenly leaps out of the narrative and attacks!


[We cut to Diem abruptly. He is standing in front of a mirror. Surprisingly, instead of his trademark green Sollux shades, he is now wearing a red variation; he's presently buttoning up a black collared shirt with a small diamond emblazoned over a shirt pocket...

He clears his throat, looking at himself in the mirror. He looks left. He looks right. He sighs. Then he opens his mouth...

DIEM: I hate a moral coward, one who lacks a manly spark.

[DM turns around, taking a black overcoat off a hanger. It, too, has a red diamond just below one shoulder, clearly visible. He begins to put it on.]

DIEM: I just detest a man afraid to go home in the dark.
I always spend my evenings where there's women, wine, and song
But like a man, I always bring my little wife along.

[The scene cuts to dimensionalRip, just finishing buckling her belt on a different outfit from usual. The whole outfit is black; it consists of a light formal jacket, a white tie, a medium-to-short (but not too short, she's eleven people) length black skirt of a business-y persuasion, very dark gray pantyhose, and stylish black shoes. The belt buckle has a white spade upon it.]

DR: I'm a mem8er of the Midnight Crewwwwwwww!
I'm a night owwwwwwwwl and a wwwwwwwwise 8ird too!
Home wwwwwwwwith the milk in the morning,
singing the same old song!!!!!!!! ::::D

[She picks up a picture of DM, smiles, and sighs. Suddenly we cut to EE, getting out of the clown car. It's been parked in front of Carapace Town; ER and TY follow him out.]

EE: RIS-E wit|-| t|-|e moon, go to bed wit|-| t|-|e Sun.
---Early to bed, and you'll miss all the fun 38;oD

[EE pulls out a slightly charred BLACK JOKER card as he walks towards the MIDNIGHT CASINO, of all places]


EE: Bring your WIF---E and trouble, it will N-EV-ER trouble you
Make |-|er a member of the Midnight Crew. 3Bo) |-|onk.

[We now cut to loveTemptress sitting on the rooftop of the cathouse, watching a small clocktower on a nearby street in CARAPACE TOWN. It is slowly ticking its way to twelve o'clock]

.
LT: The fun it doesn't stop until twelve on happy old broadway~
So what's the use of going home until the break of Day~?

[We're now back in the City, watching DD and SS walk down a street.]

DD: Now something confidential, whisper not above a breath.
SS: ===o I ===once went h===ome at tw===o AM and scared my wife t===o death

[We now see attractionFaustus, lazily watching television while ceilingKitten pokes her head out of the ceiling.]

AF: I'm a member of the midnight crew
I'm a night owrrl and a wise bird too
Home with the mirrlk in the morning
singing the same orrld song!


[We cut to a view of the "TARDIS". In the middle of a field. Suddenly the door opens, and a adult troll woman with ram horns - looking very much like Aradia - steps out. She's wearing a green dress, albeit one with a slit leaving her legs clearly visible and high heels, as if someone specific designed the dress to ogle her in it. The heels inevitably sink into the dirt. She grumbles, rolls her eyes, and kicks them off]

HANDMAID?: rise with the m00n
g0 t0 bed with the sun
early t0 bed and y0u will miss all the fun
bring y0ur wife and tr0uble it will never tr0uble y0u
make her a member 0f the midnight crew

[We now see CK again, crawling through a vent somewhere.]

CK: >:3 I never will forget the night I made six rappers run
>:3 Although I didn't have a knife, a black jack, or a gun
>:3 I proved myself a hero of a very high degree

[CK falls through through a vent into a room. She is now surrounded by the clones of SIX DIFFERENT RAP ARTISTS. They look very angry.]

CK: >:3 ...I ran for home and six of them were running after me

[CK suddenly flashsteps, vanishing from the scene must to the annoyance of the RAPPERS. We now cut back to DIEMBOT a.k.a. ARADIEM etc. She's walking through a very dark hallway, the ALLEGED ARADIA slung over her shoulder, still unconscious.


DIEMBOT: I am a member of the Midnight Crew.
I am a night owl, and a wise bird too.
Home with the milk in the morning.
Singing the same old song.

[DIEMBOT arrives in a even darker room and tosses the ALLEGED ARADIA onto a table illuminated by a very dim light hanging from the ceiling. It doesn't look like a soft landing.]


DIEMBOT: Rise with the moon. Go to bed with the sun.
Early to bed and you will miss all the fun.

[ARADIA starts to regain consciousness, opening her eyes slowly.]


DIEMBOT: Bring your wife and trouble.
It will never trouble you.

[DIEMBOT's metal hand suddenly and almost violently clasps around Aradia's chin. She leans over Aradia menacingly.]


DIEMBOT: I will make you a member of the Midnight Crew.

[The lights go out. DIEMBOT'S eyes flash white, and then all is dark.]

...

You are not entirely sure what the hell just happened.

[Kisame12]

....we missed out on a magical girl sequence for this?(and I guess CR changing would have been cool to, but still....)

>IS and CR: Reveal flarp classes!

[The Long Man]

I believe this is appropriate.
>readers: give a standing ovation

[The NL Penguin]

"You": Attempt to figure out what the hell just happened.

[Godfrey]

Here's DM and DR's outfits from this update, for interest's sake.

[obolisk0430]

I do believe I am extreamly impressed. Oh wait, in fact I am. Bravo my good sir, bravo.

[linkzeldi]

>Aradia:
Your musical senses are tingling. It is almost as if a thousand voices rang out in song, and YOU WEREN'T A PART OF IT!

[cryptidWrangler]

Hmm. Stylish. I need Diem's outfit. I have some red glasses, though they're circular ones.

[Godfrey]

Further presented without comment (for now):

[kaoticAntagonist]

IS & CR: Go and kidnap/recruit some extra cannon fodder/team members.

[Godfrey]

>Aradia:
Your musical senses are tingling. It is almost as if a thousand voices rang out in song, and YOU WEREN'T A PART OF IT!


You cannot be Aradia, as Aradia is too busy doing her own thing and will properly react to this turn of events when she is damn ready and playable.

...However she is so, so proud.

Sniffle.


>IS & CR: Go and kidnap/recruit some extra cannon fodder/team members.


This is of course your next course of action, having survived Aradia's son's musical onslaught.

Thankfully - although delaying us see you get on with this quest immediately - it would appear that THE UNIVERSE was ALREADY CONSPIRING to FILL OUT YOUR TEAM before you even watched that news program!

So we'll get back to you, after we visit this dream sequence from earlier in the day.

That cool with you?

We cool, right?

Bro?

...Bro?

...I'll just let myself out.

[}v{] oceanRising: Dream

You are now oceanRising. and you are just the most adorable little four sweep old!!! >D!

You live in a ENORMOUS UNDERWATER PALACE with your SUBJECTS (PARTICULARLY your MAID, leviathanWrangler) and your OLDER (BY A FEW MINUTES AT LEAST) SIBLINGS.

It is a PEACEFUL if LAVISH existence brought upon by the SORT-OF-WORSHIP of YOU AND YOUR SIBLINGS by the OTHER SEADWELLERS. You admit that you do not know much of the SURFACE WORLD. You know it's dry up there, and people don't have gills! But it looks kind of coooooooooooooooool and everything is so pretty and sometimes if you really twist your sisters' arms you can go on adventures up there! >D!!!!!!!!!!

Your brother never approves, though. He never approves of much of anything... >\

It is a peaceful morning. You are at your window, watching outside, observing the rays of sunlight peaking down through the water, illuminating everything in a peaceful blue haze.

You really like the color blue. It's almost as good as pink.

You are wearing YOUR FAVORITE SCARF, hand-knit for you by one of your SISTERS. She's been teaching you knitting herself, in fact! You haven't really gotten the hang of it yet, but you're really trying.

Your walls are covered with (water-proof) pictures of your DEAD PARENTS, Feferi and Eridan (something your sisters occasionally tease you for, but you LOVE THEM even though you'll never know them and regardless of the mean things people say about your father!!! You're sure they aren't true >( ). A few aborted knitting projects are strewn about the room. Plastic, fake wands are set on a shelf in the corner; you don't know magic! But you hear some of the surface dwellers do, and you're sure you'd be great at it if you just tried! You know, and had someone to teach you.

The water is cool but not too cold today. You're feeling...adventure-y.

What will you do?

Also this.

[Godfrey]

>OR: Troll a Kitty.

Who? >?

You are fairly sure you have never talked to anyone named Kitty before in your life!


>OR: gglub like you have never gglubbed before.


You proceed to indulge in a rousing morning round of GGLUB.

GGLUB.


>OR: fantasize about cats


Cats? What are cats? Do...Do you mean like those little furry things some of the landdweller seem to keep as pets? They're adorable!

All you have is the occasional stray PACIFIST CATFISH that wanders into the palace. Though they're cute too.

...And you think at least one of the other seadwellers is catfish themed?


>Glub like a blowfish and spray ink on your pictures.


What? No!!!

That would ruin them. D<


>OR: Take a look for your maid, to get her to go with you, mayhaps?


That's a good idea, but you figure she'll be along any minute now.


SLAM!

LW: ~ misssstressss! ~

There we go.

You are amazed as always by the little seadweller's ability to slam doors in a panic underwater. She's in her usual garb: A toga. She is sporting a mild black eye.



LW: ~ misssstressss! ~
OR: hhey lw!
LW: ~ what are you doing up and dressssed already?! ~
LW: ~ wass i late?! ~
OR: nno! of course not! >D i just wanted to do it myse-
LW: ~ oh cod ~

LW, shaking uncontrollably, suddenly leans her head down, shutting her eyes tight and bracing herself.


OR: ...wwhat are you doing? D<
LW: ~ you're going to hit me ~
LW: ~ pleasse go ahead and do it ~
LW: ~ i desserve it ~
OR: >?
OR: nno i'm not!
OR: ii don't know where you get that silly idea!
LW: ~ glub ~

You roll your eyes. Silly girl!

>OR:Be moved by motivational mural of a magical manatee.


You would, but...The mural is downstairs.

You did once try moving the entire wall upstairs, but...Well. Your sisters didn't appreciate it

>OR: Take after your mother and do something adorable.

You would, but...You don't have a giant lusus to feed or anything. Which is probably good, you suppose. Still...

You go for the next best option and poke your servant's belly.

She glubs and jumps. You giggle and poke again.

And then you initiate a TICKLE ATTACK, lunging at LW's belly with both hands, causing her to fall over. You continue to tickle LW's belly.


LW: ~ what are you doing? ~
LW: ~ glub ~
OR: ggotcha!
LW: ~ glub ~
LW: ~ thiss iss not an appropriate punisshment ~
LW: ~ dessisst immediately ~
OR: gglub gglub!
OR: >D
OR: ttickle tickle tickle!
LW: ~ glub glub glub ~
LW: ~ glub ~
LW: ~ glub glub glub glub glub glub ~
OR: hhahaha!!!!!!
OR: yyou used to love tickle fights!!!
OR: llighten up, silly >P
LW: ~ ...glub ~

LW suddenly rolls over and curls up in a ball, covering her belly with both arms. She glubs quietly and sadly.

You sigh, and once again roll your eyes. Man, what is even up with her nowadays.


>OR: Be contacted by one of your loving (or not so much) subjects


Before you can further torture LW with tickles and inquire about that black eye, you are pestered by what you firmly believe is one of your LOYAL SUBJECTS. You take out your computer tablet.

>OR: Take after your parents and do something adorawesome.

Fixed.

Edit: WHOOPS ninja'd by update.
Also, is LW the Maid of Something? Maid of Void maybe? She seems like the type...

[Kisame12]

>OR: GLU|-|ONK!

[The Long Man]

Honkgglubbening> Happen

[Godfrey]

EDIT: I have been asked to stop dropping hints in the topic.

So yes.

[Destruction Dragon 360]

There is definitely a Maid Of Void somewhere in this sequence.

Then it's probably definitely LW, seeing as she's the MAID and I'm pretty sure there's some Equius in that gene sequence of hers?
