A heavily wounded Isaki is still nearby, looking like the cocoon of blue magic around her is the only thing keeping her on her feet.

Despite that, she somehow also looks delighted with the situation, a pained smile on her face as she watches Vic Viper with determined glee.

That one episode of The Three Stooges where Curly becomes a boxer kinda sticks with me, especially the way the announcer introduces the fight. The mispronunciations, I just kinda threw in because why not.

EDIT: I forget what the title of the episode is; I think it might be Punch Drunks, but I'm not sure.

After neutralizing Sasori, Vic Viper then makes an attack pass over Murakumo's position.

WEAPON CHANGE: PLASMA BOMB

A large number of golfball-sized orbs of unstable, highly explosive plasma are then dropped over the kanmusu's position from Vic Viper's ventral side.

Air power little boat girl!

Satan falls to the ground, not having established that he can actually fly. And then he hits the asphalt, breaking every bone in his body.

"Fine. Hopefully this'll... teach you not to ignore me!"

Isaki's eyes and Soul Gem light up brighter yet, and she gestures dramatically, slashing her arms out to the side. A blue Beam Spam flies out of her blazing aura, shooting down many but not all of the bombs.

Okay, that was kind of amusing, but seriously, this vendetta? Not. Funny. Anymore. It's ruining the game for both of you, and everyone else.

Also, Pastry? Quit ruining dramatic moments with Joke Characters.

Billy nye speaks to nothing but air, as Vic Viper was already way too far away and was about to strafe Isaki and Murakumo with his lasers...

Problem is cookie, you're not making this fun for other people.

Well, I guess it's not particularly dramatic, except for my part, but seriously? Isaki fighting a shipgirl: Possible to take semi-seriously. An Author Avatar that's basically the living incarnation of a Windows desktop? Not possible to take seriously.

Can I ask you nicely not to use joke characters unless the situation's already farcical or you start the fight yourself as them.

Questor. I'm not attacking anybody but you. I don't know what you mean by "other people".

And Micool, if you didn't want me ruining the fight between you and Murakumo with a joke character, then you should have said so back then, and not now.

EDIT: I know, Fox, but the difference is that you told me that you didn't want me to fight a joke character the moment he attacked, instead of later.

Are you really this ignorant? Micool and quite possibly Fury are getting annoyed by you using a joke character to ruin the momentum of this little bout.

That was tolerable, back then, but "Satan" totally killed the mood right now. At least from my perspective. I was quite getting into Isaki's dramatic Determinator moment.

As I said: Can you not use joke characters unless 1. the situation's already comical, 2. you start the fight from nothing as them.

Hold on, looking for suitable avvie...

Oh, dammit!

-She continues to dodge Vic's shots, even though some of it still hits him anyway-

-She then heads inside the QC building for shelter against further strafing-

Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.

And Billy Mays seemed like he was trying to step on Archer and Isana's character development yesterday (them patching up the misunderstanding that nearly killed the latter) for no reason besides shits and giggles.

And the Archer and Kyoko fight turned into a stupid political satire. Why else were we ignoring your Omabas?

Oh, that's what you meant by "dramatic." Sorry. I'll try not to do that in the future., so that's a yes.

But I'll say it again, and this time in bold: If you think there's something wrong, then speak up, and don't wait until several pages after said thing went wrong to tell me.

EDIT: Sorry, Micool and Fox, I wasn't trying to ruin any development. I just really like joke characters.

No escape!

WEAPON CHANGE: PROTON TORPEDO

Vic then launches a pair of his large, slow but relentlessly homing missiles at Murakumo before breaking away in a preemptive attempt to dodge whatever attack Isaki may or may not throw his way.

Isaki can't dodge the strafing this time, being barely standing, but her aura takes most of it. She then raises a hand, a powerful ball of blue energy gathering in it, and fires it as a beam at Vic Viper as he approaches.

All this comes at a cost, and Isaki's Soul Gem blackens to halfway corrupt; her body also weakens, as the magic forcing it to continue to function is used up on other things.

And then his strafe dodges Isaki's beam. "Fuck!" Isaki's getting pissed off now, her enjoyment possibly stripped away by the corrupting darkness swirling in her earring Soul Gem.

True, no-one hears you unless you talk. I'll keep that in mind. But as I said, my advice would be to just not use joke characters to jump in on an existing battle unless it's already not serious. In OOC tone.

Anyway, for those reasons, I am now going to self destruct Bill Nye. Or whatever I was calling him. In about six minutes, assuming that's the time it'll take for me to find medicine for my sore throat.

EDIT: [up] So, yeah. I'll take your advice, Micool, and not bring in any joke characters where there isn't really room for them.

I don't mind a silly "fight", and I probably need a few more joke characters in my stable, but when it's a mood killer...

EDIT: [up][up] Thank you. Thank you very much.

Actually, maybe you could extend that to trying not to be a mood killer in any way? It's one of the things that bugs people the most about you. If there's a scene in progress? Add to it, don't take it over. This isn't your one-man show.
