TEAM YZMA

READY: START Team Yzma roster: Carmen Sandiego, Dave Strider, Elizabeth, Emil Vasterstrom, Juzo Sakakura, Lucy/Kaede, Penelo, Seto Kaiba, Shouto Todoroki, Souji Seta, Yato. The city's been under siege for what feels like hours. It's only on August 3rd that you learn it's been a matter of days. Monsters begin pulling Retrospec users through portals left and right, large gaping holes in reality that spit you out in any given location around the city. However, just as you think you're finally getting away, a large blue portal opens and you're snatched up. No amount of fighting and struggling will free you and soon the pressure is too great to ignore. Darkness fills your vision and the last thing you may remember is the sound of thunder...

WEEK 2 | WING 2 | SOUJI + JUZO

[tarotcards]

[ back again at the krispy kreme ]

[ souji stands on the edge of the walkway, looking between where he and juzo are currently standing and the platform of wing 2. hmmm, this is quite the gap. ]

I don't know if we can jump this.

[outpunch]

Leave it to me.

[ This is quite the gap, indeed. Juzo even whistles, quite impressed. The doctor sure likes to give their patients a quick death.

Anyway, Juzo has an idea (!!!) how to get across, but first things first: ]

Pick a number, one or two.

[tarotcards]

[ .... a number? ]

... Two?

[outpunch]

[ Congratulations Souji Narukami, you've won a Juzo will now bridal carry you coupon! You can reedem it right away.

Which means that Juzo doesn't waste time and scoops him from the ground. ]

Don't tell your father.

[tarotcards]

[ oh my god what is happening souji is not ready and he definitely looks super surprised ]

Wh-- What are you doing and why would I tell him--

[ WHY WOULD HE TELL HIS FATHER ]

[outpunch]

Helping you to get across this gap, of course.

[ Look how helpful he is!! Oh, look, there are some buttons and levers. What are they for? ]

Hey, let's see what do they do. Press something.

[ Wow, so pushy. Also, he's the personification of yolo, apparently. ]

[tarotcards]

[ this guy......................... ]

All right.

[ while still in juzo's arms, he leans over to reach over to one of the buttons. when he does, a platform rises from the floor. huh! that's nice but... they sure look narrow ]

[outpunch]

[ Another whistle from Juzo. Challenge accepted. ]

Hold on tight, boy.

[ Souji, why so careful. Juzo presses some of the buttons with his elbow and even pulls a lever, making more platforms appear.

Off they go!! Juzo jumps with plumber's grace from one platform to another. ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji... souji normally isn't scared by a lot of things but he has to admit that he's scared right now as juzo just fucking mario jumps from one platform to another. he doesn't scream, no, but he wraps his arms around juzo's neck and probably holds onto it a lot tighter than he normally would. GOOD LUCK ON TRYING TO BREATHE but once they make it to the other side and while souji is still in juzo's sweet muscular arms......... ]

... I don't know how we made it but we did.

[outpunch]

Holy shit, you have a nice grip.

[ Okay, now he can put him on the ground. He has enough decency to not drop him, thankfully...maybe it's because he looks like a guy who stabbed him once. Maybe. Who knows. ]

Okay, let's go that way.

[ Wow, someone's really proactive today. Room two, here they come. ]

[tarotcards]

Thanks...?

[ souji doesn't know if juzo complimented him or not but he will definitely just follow along into room two. he'll open the door and... ]

... is this all food?

[ wtf is that hot delicious not-vending-machine food?? ]

[outpunch]

My, my. Aren't we lucky today.

[ He doesn't even know where to look, there's so much food. So much that he's even willing to share with Souji. ]

Calling dibs on donuts...if there are any around.

[ The trope is strong in this one. If there are some, it's just a matter of time Juzo spots them. ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji steps into the room and just looks around at all the different types of food. wow, it all looks so good but... ]

I don't know if it's safe to eat any of this. It seems like a trap.

[outpunch]

[ Souji's probably right. No, he must be right. This is common sense.

So why does Juzo grab that cake. And why is he putting in his mouth?? ]

I don't know, it's pretty good. I'm not dying yet.

[ WHY IS HE LIKE THIS ]

[tarotcards]

[ THIS IS LEGIT WHAT SOUJI HAS TO ASK WHILE HE STARES IN HORROR ]

Why are you like this?

laughs...this icon

[outpunch]

Like what? Hungry?

[ This the only appropriate answer. Expect it isn't, oh well. ]

Give me a break, I'm so sick of vending machine food. If I'm going to die, I at least want to be full.

it's the only proper reaction to juzo tbh

[tarotcards]

[ souji........ souji doesn't even know what to say. and this guy wants to meet his father?? uhhhh souji's going to have to rethink about this... ]

... how are you feeling, though?

[outpunch]

Still hungry.

[ THAT'S NOT WHAT HE'S ASKING ABOUT ]

Y'know, I wanted to eat fried chicken for a while.

[ Help yourself, Juzo. ]

I guess you're not eating?

[tarotcards]

[ ................... ]

Well, if you're feeling all right, I guess I'll try a bit...

[ he'll reach over and grab a bowl of curry. he's still cautious so he just takes a single bite and... ]

... this is actually not that bad.

[outpunch]

Told you.

[ Fried chickens, where you at. Oh, it's alright, he finds another plate, nice. Somehow, it becomes kind of difficult to simply grab them with his fingers as they're a bit numb, so a few chicken legs fall on the floor. But that's alright, there's plenty of food to go around.

Basically, say hello to your brand new paws, Juzo. ]

[tarotcards]

[ after seeing that nothing is really, well, happening to either him or juzo, souji decides to finish his bowl of curry. it's rude to leave things unfinished after all so he'll eat that as he walks around the rest of the room, trying to see what else he can investigate. ]

[ as he walks around though, he'll find that everything starts... getting bigger? or more like he's getting smaller. he immediately notices the difference but he doesn't look down at himself until he suddenly can't hold the bowl properly in his hands anymore and are... are those paws? oh god this is not what souji signed up for when he walked in here ]

Juzo!

[ souji immediately turns around and runs back to where he last saw juzo but running on two legs eventually turned into four and... well, instead of souji, a red fox is the one going D:!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[outpunch]

...I'd love me some honey.

[ Wow, he has changed into a grizzly bear but the trope is still going strong. You're not Pooh, Juzo?! But he sure is a fully fledged grizzly. ]

So there was something in the food. You shouldn't have eaten that curry.

[ Honestly? He's screaming internally and would love to freak out, but well. He's the one who ate first, he's going to take responsibility. ]

Nice fur, man. Uh, maybe not man.

[tarotcards]

[ how is juzo the calm one here? what kind of twilight zone have they entered.... anyway i can't believe i uploaded a fox icon for this but here you go. also why are grizzly bears so big... souji has to arch his head up super high to look at juzo properly ]

You're taking this really well.

[outpunch]

[ Icons are important!!! Also, Juzo can always...pick him up again. Don't tell your father, Souji! ]

Uh, being turned into a bear is way better than dying or shit, so. Yeah.

[ WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THAT. Please bear with him Souji and don't push him off the platform. ]

Maybe we should move on, I'm full already.

[ Since when that's a valid reason, gosh ]

[tarotcards]

[ i can't believe that this thread is even real and game canon. what happened (and also souji is totally going to tell his dad on juzo for turning them into animals. dad can you please stab that weird man again) ]

Let's look around for a bit longer. Maybe we'll find a cure to our... situation here.

[ because who wants to really stay as a bear or fox forever ]
