• Darkest Dungeon - The Final Combat

NIGHT◊ ONE◊

• At the science room:
  • Scientist B is building a contraption.
  • Scientist A: What are you doing?
  • Scientist B: One of the tributes built a flying dragon machine so I'm making one of my own!
  • Scientist A: Sorry Dave, I can't let you do that! Remember last time you tried something like this?
  • A white toaster with a single electronic red eye on its side speaks up.
  • HAL 9000:   That's my line, human with the same name as me.   
  • Scientist Hal: Shut up you bucket of bolts! Just be thankful we reduced you to being a toaster and not something like an automatic toilet we were considering. They kinda look like you by default with those single "eyes" of theirs, so you would've fit in just fine.
  • Just then the phone rings. Scientist Hal answers it.
  • Scientist Hal: Yes? ...What!? Grievous got a wedgie?! But he doesn't even have any underwear!
  • As if in response, toast pops out of Toaster!HAL 9000 with a ding.
• Brick give too much information to the other tributes, who wince in disgust.
• Yep, Nightmare is already planning nightmarish things.
• Oh no folks, if Grogar wasn't already powerful enough, he's now basically magic Superman!
• Today folks, we learn that Vaal has a horrible singing voice!
• Uh... yeah I think it's safe to say cotton candy Cookie wins by a landslide in that department.
• Spider-Ham, Spider-Ham, going on a killing spree Spider-Ham!
• Back at the science room:
  • The phone rings. Scientist Hal answers it.
  • Scientist Hal: What is it this time? ...a tribute won't eat a cinnamon roll because what!?
  • He leaves the room. A moment later he comes back with that very cinnamon roll, taking a bite out of it.
  • Scientist Hal: See? It's just a cinnamon, roll, nothing special or extraordinary about it. Jeez, I feel like I'm surrounded by idiots here!
  • The phone rings again. He answers it.
  • Scientist Hal: Yes what now? A black hole is on the toilet, well that's nice... wait, a black hole is on the freakin' toilet!? How came it hasn't sucked it up yet!? Hell, how come it hasn't sucked up the whole damn planet yet!? I know we have some countermeasure for eldritch beings and reality benders thanks to all the inter-dimensional travel here, but this is ridiculous! WHO THOUGHT LETTING A BLACK HOLE BE HERE WAS A GOOD IDEA!?
• Pikachu plays with the pipelines, thinking it's a toy.
• When an entire population fails to help you cure your hiccups, you know it's a bad case.

DAY◊ TWO◊

• Hey, pick on someone your own size, Genichiro!
• At the science room:
  • Scientist Dave: Uh, Hal, I may have accidentally caused a problem for the tributes...
  • Scientist Hal: *sighs* Oh boy Dave, what did you do this time?
  • Well remember when we received a literally bottle of liquid nightmare fuel from one of our sponsors? I decided to do some experiments on it and it ended up gaining a mind of its own, took a shadowy form and fled the lab.
  • WHAT!? Quick, check the cameras!
  • They turn their attention to the cameras. Sure enough, they see a shadowy being take the shape of General Grievous right before killing the General.
  • Don't tell me...
  • Yep, that's it. Should we warn the other tributes?
  • We can't, we're not allowed to. It's their problem now!
• Kermit is mad that evil wasn't slain.
• A bottle of Advil somehow has standards against swearing.
• Brick wants Shiki to get dunked on!
• Spider-Ham, Spider-Ham, sending away memorial balloons Spider-Ham!
• King Sombra hates the brony fandom.
• Back at the science room:
  • Alright, who let a nuke be in the games? You know the radiation makes cleaning up the mess more difficult for the next game!
• Count Dooku is brutally tortured by Sombra... hopefully you parents out there shielded your kids' eyes from that.
• Back at the science room:
  • Dave!
  • Yeah?
  • Get the DeLorean, someone messed with the timestream again!
• OH MY WORD LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, NIGHTMARE HAS SUCCEEDED IN HIS NIGHTMARISH PLANS, HAVING SLAIN MY HOMELAND!
• Back at the science room:
  • After the scientists return from fixing the timestream, the phone rings. Scientist Hal answers it.
  • Yes? Wh-what!? A sawblade married a pillow!? They have a love life?! Unbelievable...

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTES◊

Well goddammit. That's one "pika" down, one more to go.

King Sombra's mad at how much of a Memetic Loser he's been made into especially after his second death.

Meanwhile Cyber's (not this troper or that one) still thinking of him.

Edited by TroperNo9001 on Apr 16th 2019 at 3:30:31 AM

Huh, wonder if Lonely Girl would be a good fit for Parodius...

Grievous, I am so disappoint.

Handsome Demon Man seems to be of the Affably Evil kind, so maybe he goes into monologue just for sake of it.

Who is Parodius again? The name sounds familiar.

Edited by PinkCelebi on Apr 15th 2019 at 11:21:38 AM

Glad my tributes died immediately. Is this what I deserve?

It's "what is Parodius?"

Pale King wastes more money but at least makes some good music.

Saw blade can apparently order packages and feel love. The white palace saws do not love you.

I'll do you one better, why is Parodius?

Yay, Shiki got a kill! I'll chalk it up to beginner's luck.

This isn't the first time a God of Destruction has started a fight over pudding.

• Darkest Dungeon - Town in Chaos

NIGHT◊ TWO◊

• At the science room
  • The phone rings. Hal answers it.
  • What is it? ...What!? Dooku is trying to tell a sawblade the birds and the bees...pfft hahaha, he's probably drunk. ...wait, what!? She thinks Victini is a demon after seeing it melt a good portion of our Peacekeepers!? What is she, part of an Satanic cult of something?
  • He hangs up. At that moment Dave enters the room.
  • Speaking of cults Hal, I have news about GASK.
  • GASK? The Gospel of Alchemy, Science, and Knowledge, that batshit-insane cult, that GASK?
  • Yep, them.
  • Gah! It's thanks to them that I can't get recognized for my scientific achievements, having to work to stop the Hunger Games from either accidentally or purposefully destroying the world! That's all I want, just some recognition for my work! All because these multiverse-spanning games came about when that cult opened an inter-dimensional portal in their pursuit of the unknown some years ago! Now what are they up to this time?
  • Well, I just received reports that GASK has recently become interested in physical personifications.
  • Let me guess: they seek to make one of their own.
  • Correct. Specifically, if these reports are true... they want a personification of the games themselves.
  • What!? Keep me posted ASAP for more developments on this. If this turns out to be another Eldritch Abomination, kill it. We have enough of those things around here without their help!
• Well folks, somehow a fox didn't get sucked into a black hole when it challenged it!
• Woah! Kermit somehow forgot how to really jump despite being a frog!
• This is just in folks, we have an SCP among the tributes. This is not a drill!
• Back at the science room:
  • The phone rings. Hal answers it.
  • Now what? ...What the... candy with tuberculous are you serious!?
• Spider-Ham, Spider-Ham, failing to impress Grogar Spider-Ham!
• Still mad at the fans, King Sombra grabs a harpoon gun! This doesn't look good folks!
• Welp folks, BB is now an expert at kitchen nightmares.
• Aww how cute, they're going bungee-jumping using cotton candy rope!
• Well, Jigsaw won't forget that face for a while!
• Looks like we have another couple folks: Genichiro and Handsome Demon Man!

DAY◊ THREE◊

• Well, looks like Gogmazios took some discount sex ed! Err, that's the story of the birds and the bees kids.
• Genichiro is into jazz? Who knew folks!
• Ouch, oooh my eyes hurt just thinking about that one folks, so remember kids, don't try that at home!
• Spider-Ham, Spider-Ham, practicing Russian Spider-Ham!
• Hahaha, well folks seems like Count Dooku is one big kid!
• At the science room:
  • The phone rings. Hal answers it.
  • Yes? ...Well it's a black hole, so wanting to eat someone up is only natural I guess.
  • After he hangs up he turns to Dave.
  • What's up? Have any news?
  • Well Hal, it seems like the tributes are beginning to hear the rumors of a shadow creature on the loose. One of them even used holy objects to protect itself against Subject 616N!
  • Subject 616N? Let me guess, that's the name you gave to that nightmare creature before it escaped, isn't it?
  • Affirmative.
  • So, where is 616N now?
  • Well, it was last spotted at some ruins in Sector D7. And that's not all: President Snow sent from Peacekeepers after it as soon as he caught wind of this.
• Meanwhile at some old ruins:
  • Cyber heard some yelling and investigates. Peeking behind a corner, he see an army of Peacekeepers confronting some sort of ever-shifting shadow creature, which suddenly spawns some shadowy tentacles that swiftly grab and uproot a massive tree in one quick motion and swings it at the nearest Peacekeepers, mopping the floor with them before throwing the tree at the ones in back.
  • The shadowy monster then shoots its tentacles at the nearest Peacekeepers, impaling them through their bulletproof vest as if it was nothing. As the shadowy creature is busy wiping out scores of Peacekeepers, Cyber tries to attack it from behind, smugly not using his full strength as he thinks it's an easy target.
  • The literal nightmare fuel creature however catches on to Cyber and in the blink of an eye it impales him in the abdomen with one of its tentacles as his guard was down.
  • As the monster withdraws the tentacle and leaves him to die, Cyber, badly wounded and with his pride hurt, charges at the creature in anger instead of running away. The monster promptly grabs Cyber and eats him.
• Well what do you know folks, brick and King Sombra and bonding together!
• A canine rescuing a cat? What is this, Opposite Day?
• Grogar is hit by the Magic School Bus, which currently has Ms. Frizzle's class on it and lands face-first in a pony outhouse.
  • Just like with King Sombra, his fellow villains were watching this.

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTES◊ Go D Kermit, Ghost, Cyber

Saw blade will cut right through the seat belts, Victini. It also doesn't understand the birds and the bees, although I'm convinced Pale King died because he tried to fuck one.

Meanwhile, PK demonstrates what happened to the White Palace and kills a ghost. Wonderful.

So, I think the bird and the bees events should be rephrased as "Player 1 explains the birds and the bees to Player 2."

Also, time for another round of I'm Suffering From Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure! So first, what's the "people did in car crashes even with seat belts" events referencing? Second, what's "Tetris is at a slight disadvantage" event a reference to? Third, what's the "being offended by being called Aquaman" event referencing and could we possibly retire it (mainly because "Aquaman is lame" jokes were never funny and it could be read as a Take That!)? Finally, are the "breaking down because they forgot your first meeting with them" and "hit by a bus into animal crap" events meant to be references? Ya darn kids and your references that I don't get...

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Apr 15th 2019 at 4:06:38 AM

I just showed what the bus event was on the last page: it's not a reference. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15358704370A99240800&page=158#comment-3936

"People die in car crashes" is from Tails Gets Trolled, and I don't think the "Tetris is at a slight disadvantage" is a reference to anything specific other than discussions about Tetris vs. Puyo Puyo (probably started by Puyo Puyo Tetris)

Anyway, Cappuccino as a SCP... I could see that, actually. And didn't even knew it had eyes...

Edited by Zanreo on Apr 15th 2019 at 1:13:49 PM

Lonely Girl tried to come up with insults, but she was bad at them. Until by sheer luck, she managed to get one that they took seriously. Also stop, she doesn't need tuberculosis.
