And now for something completely different

[failgoyle]

Okay, so I've been spending a lot of time in Liminal since every time I go out, I get harassed by wind spirits...

...but I think I just lit upon something really awesome while hiding in the Workshop!

[What follows next is a musical interlude played on computer parts.]

Comments

[haremtrap]

I did not realize how much I missed shitposting until this moment.

Thank you, sir.

[ninjayeehaw]

Good t'see yer priorities're in order, Jules.

[failgoyle]

You're quite welcome!

Because like hell if I know how to do anything else this time around.

[failgoyle]

Look, my lot in this Jaunt seems to come down to stuff like this or getting attacked by wind spirits, I'm taking this.

[cloudpotter]

[he was going to apologize

but

...]

Are you sure there's nothing more useful you should be doing?

[failgoyle]

Everything else I do seems doomed to failure.

[cloudpotter]

It can't be that bad.

[caREFULLY NOT MENTIONING HE IS PART OF THE REASON EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SO HARD FOR YOU, JULES]

Maybe a cup of tea will help?

[failgoyle]

I'm pretty sure tea's not going to help the magical ability to screw stuff up no matter how hard I try.

Or does it just make wind spirits stay away?

[[All the noise has attracted one curious (and lonely) pogemon, who is now shyly hanging out in the doorway, not sure if he should properly enter the room or not.]]

[failgoyle]

[Jules's own Pogemon bounces forward curiously.]

Hi!

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Garren startles, shrinking back for a moment before cautiously giving a small wave. Can he come in, fellow pog?]]

[haremtrap]

Oh yeah I'm kinda feeling pretty useless right now too. So fuck the haters, that is pretty cool.

[all_onis_are_true]

...Congratulations?

[failgoyle]

[The mouselike Pogemon bounces back around to look at Jules, then back at Garren.]

He's probably gonna be busy for a while...

[failgoyle]

I've got a couple more projects up my sleeve, too, but I couldn't wait to share this one.

[failgoyle]

Thanks!

[He is very proud of his clearly useful contributions to everything here.]

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Oh...

The armored pog looked slightly crestfallen, but nodded just the same, wringing his gloved hands. ]]

[cloudpotter]

[it's not possible to cough and turn away on the Network, but hell if Yakumo's not somehow projecting that impression anyway]

The wind spirits might, ah - have become a lesser issue, recently. Exactly how much trouble have you had with them?

[dontbetoncurry]

So can you get them to do something useful like mix drinks too?

[failgoyle]

You wanna come see my arm?

[Look, if Jules is busy doing whatever with those floppy drives, they can have a little fun, right?]

[failgoyle]

One THREW A HOUSE ON ME and then CARRIED ME AWAY AND I WOULD HAVE DIED IF I DIDN'T TAKE FALL DAMAGE REALLY WELL OR IF I COULDN'T TURN TO STONE!

And then another STOLE MY STUPID BAG OF IRON NAILS AND TRIED TO DROP IT ON MY HEAD!

[helborn]

... I feel like I've heard that song before. What is it?

[failgoyle]

...well, not these, but if you want some kind of drink mixer, I could probably work up a little robotic arm thing to do that. Not like I have much better to do here.

[failgoyle]

It's Guile's Theme, man, Guile's Theme! It goes with everything.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Garren's head tilted curiously before nodding, finally stepping properly into the room]]
