[The Shimmering Lady rears up on her hind legs, screeching angrily.]

What are you doing? This isn't how we play. If you don't take this seriously, then I'll finish this game RIGHT. NOW.

[Meanwhile, a large plume of smoke and another giant bug monster is crawling out of the barn...]

((LET THE LAST ROUND OF CALVINBALL BEGIN.
Everyone from the Graveyard post is suddenly visible and audible, though still essentially intangible))

See? This is what we get. No one got set on fire and now she's a giant bug.

[ PARKER IS DISAPPOINT ]

[backdrafted]

[maybe I can just get us all to run to the barn and do the disappearing escape alchemy door thing.]

Perhaps we should all retreat.

[lifescratched]

I agree. Now that the game has failed, there is a chance the monsters could turn on one another.

[And Connor, for one, has no intention of getting in the way if that happens.]

[fourleafcleaver]

Everything's shut and locked, though! Where are we supposed to run to?!

[Shoots a grappling hook out of his watch and soars away.]

[THROWS COFFEE]

Who gave him that!?

[shimmershimmer]

[Welcome to the top of the wall! There seems to be a whole lot of nothing beyond it, just empty dark space. An aftereffect of the brainwashing, perhaps?]

[shimmershimmer]

[The barn bug crawls closer, and as it does, translucent figures begin to appear around it... say, don't they look familiar?]

[weeabird]

[For example, the apparent ghost of Simon Blackquill, as though suddenly awakened from his seemingly eternal slumber, is...



...staring at Bobby Fulbright.]

[very_bad_end]

[just going to hang back and watch it all go to hell]

[shimmershimmer]

[Shimmering Lady turns her attention to her smaller nemesis/suitor.]

What are you doing? Why do you smell like that?

[And soon she notices the ghostly figures all around them — well, it would be hard not to.]

—You underhanded cheat! So that's what you've been up to! When did I say you could go around severing souls?

[theloneeagle]

[Just giving everyone and everything a disappointed-father look. ESPECIALLY Connor.]

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

[ For a guy who's been asleep for 3 days straight, Oswin sure looks pretty fucking tired of this shit. ]

It seems as though the trial is progressing well.

[irenicly]

[Well, this is a little awkward, but Banjou doesn't look particularly upset at the moment.

Instead he looks completely confused.]

[thefinaltarget]

[Hopefully one does, if only because of her rooster plume haircut.

She is trying to not think about how weird everything has become.]

[culinarian]

When will you stop blabbering? I've had it with your games.

[ He tosses out a Pokéball and his Gyarados emerges in a flash of bright light, letting out a deafening roar. ]

[shimmershimmer]

[On one hand, Gyarados has some type effectiveness over the Bug-Psychic Shimmering Lady. On the other, she's around three times its size, and lets out a buggy screech that's really not to be underestimated.]

[genuine_human]

[Ah, so it's come to this. He didn't expect this would happen so soon. Only after he was gone. Then it seems like this trial is put on indefinite hold until the pest problem is dealt with. The Major's eyes narrow as he savors the sight of the increasingly chaotic battlefield...

And starts walking away.

There's no point in staying here without his troops. The Gentleman and the others may win the day, but his battlefield isn't here after all. Wherever it is, he'll find it.]

[imfine222too]

(So long, third craziest guy here.)

[steel_over_blood]

[ Bulat casually floats after him. ]

This is exactly the kind of leadership I'd expect from you. Disappointing to the end.

[shimmershimmer]

[What are you going to do about that huge wall and locked gate, though?]

[defenceservice]

[watching this scene and frowning much like someone whose objective reality is colliding very heavily with their brainwashing]

[thepawfectcrime]

[ WATCHING LIKE SOMEONE WHOSE OBJECTIVE REALITY IS PARKER REALITY ]

You think she should eat him? At first I thought she should eat him, for sure, but then if you think about all the effort he's putting in, and also how shiny he is, I can kinda see what she was saying?

[fourleafcleaver]

If there's no way out, we've gotta fight our way through! We'll have to get 'em together!

[CLOVER YOU'RE A TINY TEENAGE HUMAN, DO NOT TRY AND FIGHT THE BUGS]

[vanillain]

The girl's right! Bugs are made to be squished.

[Cassius you are less than useless without your supervillain powers]
