Cookie takes out the otter toy. Maybe it has something to do with the bubbles in the water? She rolls it back over the stone before letting it go and do its thing.

The otter drives over the water like a motor boat, kicking off small waves. It speeds towards the middle of the lake before doing a nosedive over the bubbles.

The bubbles spit something out and disppear. Cookie hurriedly gets out of the way before she's hit or splashed. A statue head rolls up to shore.

Cookie adds the STATUE HEAD to her inventory.

As Cookie walks back to the garden and approaches the weeping woman statue, her bag gets lighter. The STATUE HEAD floats and fixes itself upon the neck of the body the woman is holding. There's a heavy CLICK and the shuffling and rumbling of old stone, indicating Cookie has unlocked something.

The shuffling and rumbling summons a strange hiss surrounding the garden. As though materializing out of thin air, little crayon creatures swivel toward Cookie carrying what looks like a long... stick? Spear? Spike? Their bodies are crafted out of steel wool with mitochondrial strings forming a heart. Their heads are made of soot, and swirling within their gaseous cranium is some sort of dark wiggly red fluid. Their hissing crackles like television static.

They want her dead.

We still gotta find the angel head. Unless the solution is to rest our chin where the head of the angel should be to make them think Cookie died and became an angel, I suggest running away. Maybe run in the direction where the sundial is pointing.

Once we get away, we should investigate this stone area later for anything that changed since we heard the sound of stone rumbling.

Cookie yelps, barely avoiding the sticks lunged at her. The sticks flicker and sprout again from the hands of the creatures. The entire garden is surrounded, leaving her no room to escape.

It's completely dark inside... unnaturally so. But it's lit up by a door-shaped light straight ahead. Three creatures the same as those above are alerted by Cookie's presence and charge straight at her.

As fast as she can while angry staticky monsters are throwing spears at her, Cookie whips out her phone and turns the flashlight on. The darkness seems to go infinitely, but she could feel an invisible wall to her side. She checks the other side, and the wall stops there too--it's a one-way corridor. In her panic, all Cookie sees is the light at the end. After one of the creatures chucks its weapon at her and misses, she rushes toward it and shoves it with all her strength. The creature is knocked down and Cookie runs runs runs runs runs runs RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS

There's a gory mess beneath the chandelier; something that had once been a person. As a mouse (judging by their tattered ears and tail), their body is naturally small, so they couldn't have withstood the impact of a falling chandelier. Shards are embedded in their back, penetrating as deep as their spine. Their eyes are glazed with shock, their mouth frozen open in their final gasp as bloody saliva trickles from the corner of their mouth. Their arms are sliced up from the glass, ribbons of blood soaking into their fur. Maybe it was a student Cookie had seen once or twice on campus... but now she would never know, because however they arrived into this version of their school, they met with a horrible fate.

There's... nothing left to save.
So, make sure he's dead in this screwed-up zombie flick.

Take a picture of his dead corpse as proof, then search the body for an ID. His next-of-kin need to know.

Then rip the body apart so whoever tries to make an attack zombie out of this corpse will be sorely disappointed.

Maybe don't mess with the dead body too much, you've got to maintain your sanity. Also your friends would be kindof worried if you show up with blood all over yourself.
Don't you still have your cellphone? Try calling someone.

Since there's something out there which can animate corpses, it likely has the means to deal with... reasonably large amounts of damage to the bodies. And things like the butchering industry and history let us know that you need EXTREMELY specialized tools to easily and quickly dismember or decapitate or whatever large bodies.

Cookie tears her eyes away from the body. It's her first time seeing a corpse outside the news and various media, and even if she wasn't nauseated and terrified to the pit of her stomach, there isn't anything useful she could've done. The mouse carried no weapon for her to take, and most of their body is buried under the chandelier, which would be too heavy to lift off of them. Even if she could access their pockets, their ID wouldn't matter much anyway.

She shakily takes her phone out and tries calling Kiki again. All she gets is her voice message. After the beep, Cookie explains what has happened to her so far: she and Sherb and Marshal are at her dormitory and they are separated. Someone is after her and they took her to this bizarre crayon area full of monsters where she barely escaped. She found a body and she doesn't know if her dorm room is even safe, but please please please please please call or text her back as soon as she can.

A thought occurs to Cookie and she asks for Sherb and Marshal's numbers. If she could contact them, she might be able to find them! She asks for Muffy's too in case she's also trapped in this awful version of their school. She ends the call and cautiously looks around for anything that might have heard her.

She goes down the hallway to the right. Ordinarily, it would be a hued a dark rose, lit by a beautiful stained glass window at the end.

Cookie uses the LARGE KEY on the second door to the left. This gives her access to the janitor's closet.

The room has a musty smell like a forgotten dungeon. The sink hasn't been used in ages, crawling with rust and weird tubes that don't seem like they go anywhere. The pipe it's connected to is aged enough that it could easily snap off. There's all sorts of detergents and sprays and bleach, along with the usual mops and brooms and swiffers. Yellowed stocks of toilet paper line the shelves, including more chemicals and bottles. A solitary toy wand lays forgotten on one of the shelves, striped like a candy cane with a star at the end.

Remove pipe off sink, can be a weapon.

"Cookie? Is that you?" Sherb is inside the room sitting on Cookie's bed. The walls and posters are smeared with soot, and the papers on her desk had rotted to dusty flakes. The window is too dark to see anything out of. The quilt and bedsheets are gray and dirty, and the carpet is dry and dusty with age. Sherb clutches his side where blood pools into his sweater.

Ask what happened after you got separated. Tell him got pulled into some kind of... weird crayon place and barely escaped back into this world.

"Marshal thought that awful monster took you downstairs, so we went there looking for you. A few of those crayon guys you mentioned were in the cafeteria, and we had to figure out how to get past them. Then when we got to the kitchen, the walls all around us starting morphing, then a bunch of sharp black spears were flying everywhere and--and one of them got me..."

"What about Marshie?"

"He--He pushed me out the door so I could get away. He's still d-down there... he could be dead and it's all my fault!"

Cookie rummages through her drawers, looking for a decent makeshift bandage for Sherb. Her "clothes" were reduced to rags, but anything that wasn't coated in too much soot and rust would do. She finds an old sweater that soaks up most of the blood and ties it around Sherb's wound.

"We can't give up! We got to go back to the cafeteria and save Marshal. I don't know how we can fight all those crayon creatures, but there's got to be a way past them! Is there anything you and Marshie haven't tried?"

Cookie and Sherb head down to the cafeteria. The tile floor is smeared with years of grime, and the tables buzz with small clouds of flies. The scattered trays stacked with brittle chicken bones nearly decayed to dust. The bowls and cups contain a dark brackish substance best left as a mystery. As Sherb predicted, there are more monsters surrounding the entrance to the kitchen.

Use the environment to your advantage, funnel the monsters between the tables so they have to fight you one at a time. If they're not quite that stupid, take the high ground on the tables instead.

They approach her one by one--she whacks the first one over the head.

What's going on? Why is Kiki dressed like a witch? How did she get those powers?

"I'm afraid I don't have much time to explain!" Kiki says. "Cookie, did any of you find a wand?"

Cookie still has the TRANSFORMATION WAND in her inventory.

"Whew, this makes things much easier," Kiki answers. "Cookie, you need to use that wand and become a magical girl!"

"But how? When I tried it, it didn't work!"

"It will now. Just raise it in the air and you'll transform. I'll look after Sherb. You go fight the monster and save Marshal!"


((It's time to give Cookie her powers! This will influence what kind of magic and attacks our heroine will have. Majority vote wins!

Voters must choose ONE out of the following elements:

Water - sub-element Ice
Fire - sub-element Poison
Earth - sub-element Grass
Wind - sub-element Lightning
Light - sub-element Time
Darkness - sub-element Space

Sub-elements go with the primary element and cannot be mixed and matched.

Cookie will be given basic level 1 moves for this fight. What should they primarily be? Pick ONE:

Offensive - should she dish out the attacks?
Defensive - should she focus on healing?
Supportive - should she boost herself first?))

>>1067127
Fire/poison Defensive. I want to see how we can turn those elements into healing.

>>1067137
Seconded.

Darkness Supportive
The darkness will be everywhere in this quest. Take advantage of the high draw pool and buff your party until they shrug off everything!

There's no time to lose. Cookie takes out the wand.

"STAR PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!"

Beneath the prism, Cookie's clothes change. Bows as dark as the midnight sky adorn the top of her ears, and she wears a wizard's robe that glitters with stars from the deepest reaches of space.

Cookie now possesses the power of fire, sourced from none other than the Big Bang, the birth of the universe. It is up to her to use these flames to cleanse and heal. With that in mind, how does she approach the monster? How will she save Marshal?

>>1076945
Well, first, experiment with your power. You have some mussels embedded in you, can you purge them with fire? Can you extinguish the flames at will?
Once you have a handle on it, engulf the main body of the monster. If the flames are harmless to friendly targets you may as well cover Marshall in them, but if the purging process is painful you might have to take it slow with him once you've gotten him separated from the monster.

So, you don't necessarily have fire as you understand it. You kay have some sort of incredibly hot and dense and fast moving and pressurized plasma, the makeup of which will depend on how long after the Big Bang you are making your draw. Or, since Magical Girl, you probably have something that is more conceptually associated with dense, hot, fast moving, uniform plasma. So, you know, if you throw a fire lance at someone (and it'd be a beam, cause pressure and speed and such), it isn't necessary a WMD with you at the epicenter. Though you probably COULD do that. Regardless, it's an amazing weapon that shoots hot not-even-a-gas-yet at things.

Anyway! Conceptual! This plasma is astoundingly pure in nature, since nothing that has had a chance to change or dilute it has yet had a chance to exist. So you could take the concept of purity to cleanse corruption or impurity that way. Further, this is also, conceptually, the initial act of creation, the Roar Of God, as it were. So you can link that concept to thec reation of things like a new, healthy body and soul and spirit where tainted parts had to be purified out.

Give birth to Marshall, just like the Big Bang gave birth to everything! He'll uh, he'll be fine.

So, something to keep in mind about the time right after the Big Bang is that the heat of it is way, way, wayyyyyy hotter than fire. So you know the main states of matter, in increasing level of heat? Solid, Liquid, Gas? And how there's one beyond that, Plasma. So Fire is generally hot gas, maybe with some plasma at the hottest parts, for the hottest fires. But there's a state BEYOND plasma, a FIFTH state of matter. It's called 'Quark-Gluon Plasma', and it's where not only are there no molecules (too hot!), not only do atoms get stripped of their electrons (too hot!), not only do the nuclei of atoms get split apart (too hot!), but the actual neutrons and protons (and their antimatter equivalents, antineutrons and antiprotons)... just melt. Leaving raw quarks and gluons and things of that scale. THIS is what is present in the first 0.000001 second of the Big Bang!
