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...

[ 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 ]

[outpunch]

[ With his brand new paws, Juzo scratches the back of his neck, looking as pensive as a bear can look. ]

There's just food...and more food...

[ Juzo don't eat that, you're already a 100% grizzly bear. ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji just looks around and... actually tries to sniff the air because wtf if he's a fox then does that mean he has fox smell now?? he actually does so... ]

... maybe we should grab some more after we finish checking out the other room, if we're going to be stuck here for another week.

[ they've already turned into a bear and fox. what is the worst that can happen if they eat more of this weird food... ]

[outpunch]

I like your way of thinking.

[ Lazily walking around the room on his four legs, Juzo wants to get used to this new form. Easier said than done, but he's trying. Too bad he's as an elephant and knocks some of the plates down on his way. ]

Oops. [ He's not sorry anyway... ] Can't wait to tell my colleagues at work about that one time I turned into a freaking grizzly bear.

[tarotcards]

[ and while juzo knocks over everything, souji just dodges everything and chooses to go on ahead of juzo so he doesn't crushed by food or something... ]

We should ask if someone can video tape us, or at least take photos.

[ but as they are walking, souji notices between all the food piles that there is a.. back door? ]

... That's not the door we came through.

[outpunch]

Seriously, that's what you're thinking about right now?

[ Wow, maybe instead of calling Souji out you should contemplate your own behavior, Juzo!!

Oh, the door. Are they open, are they closed? Who cares when a bear just charges right into it.

Is anybody home? Save for this huge fridge that just waits to be opened. Juzo caves in, even though the contents are rather disappointing.]

Eggs...ew.

[tarotcards]

[ .......... why does juzo solve everything through violence. souji shouldn't even be surprised but he is when juzo just suddenly charges through a door with little to no warning. this is how he's going to die... when the bear charges into the wrong thing and everything explodes and they're dead. that's what ]

[ but he follows along and looks into the fridge that juzo opens ]

They don't look real, though. Aren't they...

[ and souji walks over to try his best to take one of the eggs into his mouth. it's... hard to do this without any hands and to only rely on his mouth but he eventually pops open the egg in half and spits it on the floor. it's a plastic egg! and with candy inside. ]

They're like those easter eggs.

[outpunch]

[ Just. Leaves this here.

Juzo finds out firsthand (firstpaw???) that being a bear and opening plastic eggs are an irritating combination, but what can he do. The struggle is real until he manages to pry it open. ]

More candy? Nice. But who the fuck needs so much candy?

[ Then, he finds a tiny toy in the next one. ]

Where's the warning about choking hazard...you better be careful, man. I mean...fox.

[tarotcards]

[ why are you like this, juzo........ ]

Children? And candy enthusiasts? [ answering juzo's question before souji takes another egg and repeats this extreme choking hazard act ] Thanks, I'll try to be carefu--

[ and just like that, guess who starts to choke because he really shouldn't try talking while there's a tiny egg in his mouth. give him a moment to hack and wheeze until he eventually coughs up the egg and its contents. ]

... Found a key.

[ at least souji nearly died for a good cause ]

[outpunch]

Oh, I thought it was a furball.

[ Also, he thought he's being funny. ]

Okay, uh. [ There was obviously no lock on the fridge, so this key might actually be useful. Unlike a certain bear. The key is covered in saliva, but he manages to scoop it from the floor. ] Let's open something with this.

[ As long as he figures out how to actually hold the key without dropping it to the floor over and over again. ]

[tarotcards]

[ don't drop the key into a drain hole or something, juzo... when it falls to the floor for probably the 29482924th time, souji will go over to it ]

Here, let me hold it. Just try not to do anything to scare me.

[ through some tricky maneuvering (aka a lot of licking the floor and using his paws to position the key), souji eventually manages to get the key in between his teeth. it's... very much a choking hazard but that's why he told juzo not to do anything to scare him and have him possibly swallow the key. he keeps his mouth open as much as he can while holding the key between his teeth so it doesn't actually sit inside his mouth... ]

Dos you see a slock?

[ at least you can understand what he's saying here a lot better than trying to understand him while he has a sword in his mouth ]

[outpunch]

[ He can't help it, he was a human disaster so it's only natural that he's a bear disaster as well.

Okay Juzo, what does your bear eyes see— ]

Here.

[ The cabinet on the wall. Then, he glances back at Souji the fox. It's not too high up, but this may be difficult without actual hands or at the very least paws. ]

Spit it out, I'm gonna open it. Trust me.

[tarotcards]

[ souji looks up at the cabinet and yeah, that's too high up for him to reach but for juzo to unlock it with the key with his bear paws........ questionable............. ]

... All sight. Pet yur pawz out.

[ so then souji can at least spit the key into juzo's paws and they don't have to reenact juzo having to pick up the key 2827191 times ]

[outpunch]

[ Listen, he gives it everything he has!!! For a change. Focused on the key, he takes it between his claws and holds his breath until it's in the lock. He turns it and...bingo. ]

What do we have here...some pink liquid, some notes...wait, pink?

[ Juzo is going to show him all the loot once he makes sure there's nothing left. Don't let him carry the potion on your way back, Souji... ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji really can't do anything until juzo brings everything down low to his eyesight. ]

The manual by the escape pod mentioned something about pink ink so we should keep that safe. What does the note say?
