CoLC crossover RP, main thread

Cole got to his feet, hesitating and looking around, grimacing. "I...it's dimmer. But I think I can still...feel him. He's still in here." He winced when Shiara tripped and fell on seemingly nothing. "...I don't think I want to be in this building anymore."

"Sure you will, kid" the man in the pinstripe suit muttered, chuckling a bit as Ben went up the ladder. Ben got up to the roof with no incident, as would Twilight if she followed him.

Gon's ear got out of Miss Tairee's grip with a comical pop! sound, but Miss Tairee grabbed his coat collar before he could get a chance to get away. She then slapped him, once- twice- three times, before grabbing the back of his head and forcing him to turn and look at the same message she'd written on the typewriter before, which she pointed at insistently, an angry expression on her face.

Ben looked back down at the Ruckus members, waving in thanks to them, before looking back over at Twilight. "Look, I didn't know they were gonna let us go up to the roof without a fight," he muttered. He shoved his hands in his pockets. "Thugs in my world are a lot less friendly than that. Anyway, are we gonna try again?" he asked the alicorn, looking across the city from all the way at the top of the factory. He was loving the view and the wind was nice up here. It almost made him forget that he wanted to kick the Boss' teeth in.

At the intersection, with Zelda et al

"The roof", Garrett suggested. "There might be an entry on the roof, and the King probably wouldn't expect anybody from above. Our big pal here—" he glanced towards Fried "—could help us get up there and check."

Garrett personally didn't really care about helping others get the day's reward, but after being thoroughly humiliated several times today, he wasn't averse to the idea of doing the same thing to one of these annoying "cartoon" creatures.

The library

He floated up before the floor got too hot for him to stand on then ripped off the paper to be scorched. "Well, as much as I want to see all three of you kill each other, I get bored easily. See ya!" He flew towards the hole, accidentally tripping over Sadness. A deep twang of sadness came from within and he closed his eye. Eventually, he shook it off and just used the door.

"Well, I'll repay ya in another way in the the future since Sawyer got the goods we needed." Ranma quipped good naturedly to the cowboy while waving a bit to the goth carrying the original stop sign plus another one that looked somewhat less cleanly bisected. "Also no, ya didn't miss nothin' much. Just us realizing the plan worked half way and having to deal with irate furniture. Just like home. Too much like home." A bland stare of remembrance occurred as she thought about how much things stayed the same despite some similarities here in the City. "Anyways, give me one of those things and I'll jump on over to the other side of the street without touching the road so you guys can get over."

A somewhat frightening and strange series of events had happened, but in he end Twilight and Ben made it to the roof. Twilight readied herself.

"Climb on."

When Cole got hit by the pie and tumbled over Shiara, Plague Knight kept running. He tossed a bomb to the side ("SWEEEEEEEEET RE-LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!!!" it yelled before exploding), charged up a cannon burst as he double jumped over the empath and the fire witch, and released the burst, blasting forwards as a literal fireball due to the physics of the day.

After landing, he spotted the mouse running along the top of the aisle as Rex gave chase. The alchemist quickly prepared a bomb filled with Tracer powder with a cross shaped grip, and tossed it at the mouse. The bomb went into a high arc into the air, easily covering the distance to Mickey to land on the top of the aisle. Even if the bomb missed the mouse, he would then have deal with outrunning large flames that traveled along the surface.

"AH'M GONNA GITCHA! AAAAH'M GONNA GITCHA!!" the flames would proclaim.

The cowboy's reaction was not one of relief on seeing Sawyer. Instead of making things easier, Hol Horse was now briefly concerned that this woman was also some kind of super-strong monster. Obviously, that chainsaw could've done it, but there was a sneaking suspicion growing in his head that he was one of the more mundane people here. Shaking his head to clear out these thoughts, he added in to Ranma's comment. "Yeah, a clothing rack of all things gave us trouble. It probably won't give us much more, though, after I got through it it," he said cooly.

Ranma's suggestion came as a surprise to him, for a very important reason which he immediately blurted out. "Wait a minute, if you can jump across without getting hit, why don't you just pick us up and take us with you?"

Ben nodded, then again clambered onto Twilight's back. He gripped the sides so he wouldn't fall off, but he also didn't want to hurt her.

"All right, I'm ready, prepare for takeoff!" Ben exclaimed, grinning.

"Here we go..."

Twilight was a little nervous, after all, if this went wrong, Ben was going to have a painful fall.

But she ultimately spread her wings and leaped from the edge. She tried to keep steady and glide into proper flight, and ultimately...

It worked! Twilight was successfully flying! She sighed in relief.

With the Group

[I presume two stop signs are lighter than me or you. Especially you, cowboy man, you're built like a brickhouse.] Somehow Sawyer's attention was not piqued to this earlier, but Hol Horse could as well be a part of a brickhouse in some previous life.

Without further ado she relinquished one of the signs to Ranma.

"Well, I'm a bad luck magnet. I dunno if the day will screw with me more than usual but I get stuff smacking into me sometimes when I hop around. That's reason one for not taking you along with me, less risk of random ridiculous stuff happening and if it does happen only I get affected. Reason two would be I'm not sure if you guys can take the sudden acceleration and barf all over me. Reason three is like what Sawyer said, stop signs are lighter."

The girl said as she took hold of one of the signs and leaving the other in Sawyer's care before jumping forward to all but spike one of them down on the other side of the street like a camper driving a stake into the ground, with her perched atop the thing like a particularly cutesy looking gargoyle. "Also reason four is that I'm not sure you'd look good being piggybacked by a girl. I gotta leave you your dignity."

Ben closed his eyes, wincing and expecting the crash... and it didn't come. He opened his eyes and grinned widely.

"All right!" Ben exclaimed. "Let's go find this king!" he shouted, pumping his fist up into the air and looking around at the ground for anything that seemed out of the ordinary... not that anything seemed ordinary in this town right now....

The sky above the city

Bill saw Ben on top of a pegasus. "Hm... well, since I have nothing better to do anyway, I guess it's time to stalk this kid again. This time at a distance." Bill followed as quietly as he could, which was easy due to all the cacophony of noises in the City at this point.

Twilight flew along, Ben on her back, and looked for the king...

And realized she had absolutely no idea where to look.

"So... Where are we looking, again?"

Rushing along the top of the aisle, Mickey's head swiveled around taking in all the things he could see coming his way. He didn't seem that worried though, probably because he knew how the day worked better than any of them. The humanoid mouse jumped over the banana peel without missing a beat, then skidded to a stop just a bit farther past it, turning around and waiting.

Nightwitch reached the banana peel, the kitten small enough to ride with all four paws on it along the shelf towards Mickey. But before reaching him, the bomb smacked into the young cat, sending both feline and explosive tumbling to the floor of the aisle below; Mickey cringed and looked away as the bomb went off, instantly reducing the cat to a little ash pile with blinking eyes. Having gone off on the floor rather than on top of the shelf, the flames could not reach Mickey, but were directly in the path of Rex on his motorbike.

Mickey wiped his brow in a show of relief, then jumped over to another shelf, and from there down to the floor in an aisle nobody else was in, where he took off running in another direction.

There certainly were a lot of strange sights today, but there was one standing out slightly. A big grocery store, bouncing up and down like some of the other buildings; but unlike any of the other buildings, cartoon symbols and dust clouds were shooting out of the front doors and the rooftop vents, comically exaggerating the conflict within.

As she flew, Twilight noticed a building that was behaving strangely. Well, moreso than the other buildings. This one was acting up more than the others with all the clouds coming out. She spoke to Ben.

"How about there?"

Shiara was still recovering from her slip. Nightwitch, however, somehow, just shook the ash off, but found herself wearing a bowtie. Then, with incredible ferocity, she ran after Mickey, sliding under the shelf separating the aisles, until she found herself in the one mouse was in, and continued chasing him.

Very solid reasons for a non-jumping attempt, all around. More importantly, brickhouse in his mind sounded like it was one step away from beefsteak in "top 10 terms you'd want to hear from a potential love interest", so evidently something was working. He wasn't even sure he'd even made a pass at her at this point, so the sudden aggression on her part wa-wait, wait, this didn't make any sense.

They'd barely met at this point. There's no good reason to be so analytical in a "relationship" that was literally minutes old. Maybe this place was getting to him. Looking back on romance that hadn't happened yet was insane. If he was going to make anything like this happen, it would be through HARD WORK and PRESUMABLY OVER THE COURSE OF AT LEAST A FEW DAYS instead of right now. Crap, he's thinking far too much about this. Inner monologuing was going to be the death of him!

Without any much showmanship or begrudging looks, he tried to get this bullshit out of his head by making yet another dramatic crossing attempt. One to end all of them, one to possibly impress ChainSawyer and most importantly cross the fucking street.

The guy was pretty fast for a bipedal mouse. Then again, Rex only had Sonic and Knuckles as as reference to how fast anthropomorph animals were and the hedgehog was pretty fast, so maybe it kind of made sense.

Mickey effortlessly jumped over a banana peel on his path and made Shiara's cat slip on it. Apart from that Plague Knight, as usual, threw a bomb at Mickey but only managed to hit the cat and turn it into a pile of ash with eyes. Not only that, but the bomb had created a small fire on Rex's path.

"What's wrong with you, pájaro loco?"

Rex tried braking his motorbike and even collapsed it while creating his mecha-hands. He tried to use them to stop himself from sliding into the flames.

Ben looked down at the building that Twilight was pointing out. He nodded. "Yeah, that looks crazy!" Ben exclaimed. "That's gotta be it! C'mon, Twilight, let's go in for a landing!" he exclaimed, pointing bombastically down towards the building. It had to be where this king was! Ben just knew it!

Sans watched as the mouse managed to get away unscathed while meanwhile he made a cat slip on the banana peel just to be hit with a bomb with then exploded into a sea of flames that almost got the guy in the motorbike.

"nice," he commented, chuckling at the mess everyone was doing, it would be a miracle if that grocery store was still standing by the time everybody was done

He then got to the candy aisle and started looking through the shelves until he finally got to what he was looking for, some packets of a particular brand of mint candies that he had seen before, although he never tried one himself. He picked up many packets of various different flavors, placed them in the shopping back and began heading towards the soda area. On the way, he tossed another banana peel randomly, figuring that if cartoon logic was right, something was going to come out of it, good or bad.

Over the city

Bill stroked his imaginary chin. "I thought heroes were supposed to avoid fighting. ...Oh well. If they beat those guys up, I think I'll recruit them for my new army..." He chuckled quietly to himself as he stalked Ben and Twilight.

Gon, trying to convince Ms. Tairee of what he did:

"Hey!"

Gon tried to get himself free from the librarian.

"I was told that... she's involved in some rallies that I was trying to check out. And she's the one who got aggressive. I didn't say anything to escalate the situation."
