Second Run - Shoebox Fort

[speeding]

So. If you need me I'm in my fort.

On aisle 24. With the men's running shoes.

All invaders will be questioned and possibly subjected to ridicule if they do not bring approriate offerings.

Appropriate offerings include, but are not limited to, real clothes please for the love of god.

Thank you. This has been a PSA by your local evil overlord.

Or something.

At least you don't need shoes!

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

If you're willing to leave your fort, I can offer you a jacket? Not that I don't want to pay homage to your contribution to modern engineering and men's running shoes, but extenuating circumstances say it might have to wait until next time.

What do you say? Just fill the moat with crocodiles and I'd imagine no one will trespass.

[treeleopardess]

Wait. When did you graduate to evil overlord?

[speeding]

That's true buddy. On my list of things I need, I can cross shoes right off!

Bright side, right?

[speeding]

I'm ambitious, what can I say.

I figure I haven't seen anyone else claim the title yet. Better make it mine while I had the chance.

Anyone what wants it can come find me and try to get it from em and my fort. I have an arsenal of shoes that I am not afraid to use.

[treeleopardess]

You can have it. That's a lot of work, especially when all the heroes decide you need overthrowing.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

My fort owns your fort, dude.

Mine's made out of pillows.

[thewindslast.livejournal.com]

Plus, they're free!

Yeah! And maybe the Wilderness will turn into a shirt store next? Then you won't need a shirt, either!

[speeding]

I suspect this to be a clever lure. Designed to draw me from my safe holding and entrap me with your feminine wiles, whilst your compatriots thwart my evil schemes.

However, I accept your terms. I shall emerge from my lair and come find you. Crocodiles will be released into the moat directly.

I see your chibi Throne and counter with Chibi Dash

[speeding]

Does this require a fort off nemesis? Because I will win.

Smug.

[speeding]

Dang, thanks for the reminder.

This is sounding like too much work.

I shall have to consider your words.

[speeding]

Free I can totally go with buddy!

Hey, if the wilderness wanted to do that? I would so get behind that.

[treeleopardess]

I'm good at making laziness sound like wise advice.

I HOPED YOU WOULD. WHERE'S WANT?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Bring it on. Yours does nothing but offer a lifetime of pain and possibly papercuts and bruising upon collapse. Mine is squishy and soft and arguably smooshy.


I prefer the word confident.

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

Ah, if there's one thing I'm not, Dash, it's in cahoots with your nemesis, the Sugardaddy. Though, admittedly, it would be quite the rouse, wouldn't it?

I'm in the back, in one of the side offices. I'll switch on the light.

[speeding]

A council will be convened. I may have to step down from evil overlord and let the Men's Waders take the position.

Of course I'll still manipulate the moves behind the scenes, but when the crusaders come I can get out the back while they take down the boots.

Because I'm brilliant like that.

[thewindslast.livejournal.com]

Yep! Just one less thing we have to worry about.

I wonder if we'll get to see it change if we stick around the Wilderness long enough?

NEED WANT, YES?

[speeding]

However yours does not come with as many handy projectiles and amusing impromptu instruments. Also pillows are not intimidating.

Yeah you would.

[treeleopardess]

Hey, there you are. I was starting to worry.

I saw you asked for Kazahana's help earlier...everything okay?

[speeding]

Huh. I wonder what that would be like? Probably weird.

[speeding]

Hey, not in cahoots is good in my book. But even if it were a rouse, I'd probably fall for it. I'm a sucker for a cool girl.

Cool, I'll find you!

[thewindslast.livejournal.com]

Maybe we'd just blink and it'd suddenly be something else! Or everything would turn into something else!

[treeleopardess]

Any good scheme should include an escape plan. It's just common sense.

And the boots shouldn't complain--they must have known what they were getting into, after all.

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

Bastet! Hey, how're you? I've been charting everybody's progress over the journals -- I probably should have chimed in earlier, but I was admittedly distracted.


Oh, that. I got hit in the face by some guy wigging out in the elevator. Well, that's not entirely true.

He hit my dinosaur in the face. And somehow, I felt it.

[treeleopardess]

Understandable.

Is that so. So that would explain why you've been lying low. I see Dash is on his way, but do you mind another visitor?
