[dr-asterisk]

Asterisk exits his lab for the first time in weeks, hand on his head.

my head... what happened? how long was i out for?

Asterisk looks down to see several packages at his lab doorstep.

...uh oh.

[dr-asterisk]

Asterisk gets out of bed to the sounds of violence.

oh, there's a raid again. wonder why. well, doesn't matter that much, here we go again.

Asterisk is now setting up acid traps. He has no clue what's happening just that there's raiders.

meanwhile...

uhh. cinnamon, what do you have there?

Cinnamon is currently curled around an egg. He's purring.

[dr-asterisk]

Random character trivia because i am bored

This is all ooc but that might be obvious

Asterisk

Asterisk does not like being called Sans. I'm not going to go into detail about why right now but there is a reason.

He doesn't keep in contact with the rest of the UT cast.

He's from a neutral timeline

Funky robot

It's technically existed since before Asterisk came to the ESC, but doesn't remember anything from before.

This is due to both having less space to store memories/a less efficient compression algorithm and due to needing to be near totally rebuilt.

It has backups.

Fell

No issue with being called sans, though goes by fell at the ESC

Still in contact with his family and friends

This is because he doesn't know about Asterisk disliking being called sans now.

Uses very silly names for cinnamon in private.

Cinnamon is an Emotional support Animal but he does not like to admit it

Cinnamon

Likes only two people (Fell and Dr Bee), doesn't really care about most others

Does not like asterisk

Has a custom made hazmat suit so fell can take him into radioactive zones

[dr-asterisk]

Asterisk is in the cafeteria. He's not eating or anything, just sitting there.

[dr-asterisk]

Asterisk watches the giant mech fall while eating ice cream.

glad that's over.

Fell, on the other hand, is currently teleporting around in an attempt to find Blatto to do one thing, kick him in the head.

eat shit.

[dr-asterisk]

Fell is now fully immersed into the thrill of battle.

try me!

Several missiles near him are grabbed with telekinesis, forming a disc of missiles in the air, which then splits apart, sending missiles flying at any of Blatto's forces he can see. He's grabbed a knife from a dead soldier's body, and is using to stab any human soldiers in stabbing distance. Bones, blasters, shots from fell's stolen missile launcher, and telekinetic redirects of the missiles from the sky.

hah! how do you like that?

Fell starts laughing maniacally, clearly having a fun time in all this carnage.

[dr-asterisk]

The missiles landing causes Asterisk's facade of calm to slip. But instead of fear or nervousness, the calm has given way to... Joy?

...welp.

Asterisk teleports landing on the roof of the ESC, in his acid turret, though it looks very different. The main marker that it's the same thing is an engraving on the side.

this ought to be fun.

With that, Asterisk first presses a button causing a small energy shield to surround the turret, he turns the laundry list of weapons on the turret against the raiders. Acid "bombs" fire out, followed by missiles of Asterisks own, then a mix of the two. The acid "bombs"

...heh. this is gonna sting.

Asterisk presses a button on his turret, causing it to start charging. After a few minutes of this, it fires a massive pillar of acid, cutting through thousands of raiders in one go. The majority of the acid seems to evaporate quickly once on the ground, though puddles of it dot the section of the battlefield the charge was fired in. The turret shuts down after the charge attack, retreating back into the esc.

still not done, lets hope these still hold up.

The custom Tank-Mechs, absed of round 2's tank mechs, emerge from the ground, though most of them are getting beat rather badly. A few are winning the fights thwy get involved in, though the more advanced tech is proving difficult.

...shit.

[dr-asterisk]

Fell is hiding in Asterisk's lab. Asterisk is working at his research, unbothered by the initial forces.

calm down, this is tame compared to what happened last time.

you call THAT tame?

Asterisk looks out the window to see the train like robot.

...no. but that wasn't there untill just now. you feel like going out there?

no? why the hell would i?

cause you're about to feel like it when i tell you these robots will kill anyone or anything. cats included.

...

Fell is gone, cinnamon in still in the lab, asleep. Asterisk doesn't know for certain the the raiders would hurt cinnamon, but better safe than sorry. Asterisk leaves his lab, setting traps in both the main entrance in the vent into his lab, all set to only go off on non-esc personnel + any gsc personnel here. He also begins setting more of the same traps around the building. He seems unnaturally clam compared to his demeanor both during previous raids and normally.

Fell, meanwhile, is tearing robots apart, with both magic and a stolen missile launcher. Dodging and weaving like it's second nature. He's not melting like asterisk would be in this situation. The thrill of battle is getting to him, but his main goal here is still defense.

bring it on! like hell am i letting any of you through me!

[dr-asterisk]

All at once, the asterisk swarm disappears. Except for one or two outliers who teleport away but that's not anything to worry about :) Fell also isn't gone he's just sitting on the roof of the Esc, looking at the view.

...uh, pretty sure i'm supposed ta' have been warped back to the GSC by now? how the hell'd he even get me here anyways...?

Asterisk is now back in his lab. Most of the condiments are back, but all of the ketchup has been replaced with new bottles instead.

welp, that vacation was fun and all, but back to work. never thought i'd say that, heh.

The funky robot is staring at a cake double of itself. It's lcd face is displaying an error message. It's also repeating an error code out loud.

"ERROR 264."

If anyone gets close to it, it sprints through the cake double.

"I HAVE DONE A PRANK! :D"

"...WAIT. IT IS NO LONGER THE RIGHT DAY D:"

[dr-asterisk]

i ate all the cake objects in asterisk's room

...and something that wasn't cake.

my stomach hurts

[dr-asterisk]

alright, i need to one-up this asshole.

Fell teleports into Dr. Asterisk's lab, immediately pulling out a machine from a hidden conpartment

knew he'd bring this with him. anyways...

Fell presses a few button on it, with it sparking for a bit and then...

FLASH!

There are now a shit ton of asterisk Look a likes (and some versions of hin that do not look at all like asterisk) around the facility. Fell is laughing his ass off.

how's that for an april fools prank? they should be gone by tomorrow, don't worry. one or two might stick around, i don't know.

[dr-asterisk]

Asterisk is looking at the sign change.

...welp. i'm clocking out.

Asterisk has disappeared from the center for today. However, he has taken every condiment inside the center with him. Also almost every seat has a whoopee cushion under it (exceptions if it would set of someone's sensory issues) but shhh.

In his place is a very confused Fell. Cinnamon is also here.

how am i back here again?

Fell checks the date.

that asshole.

[dr-asterisk]

Asterisk has started pouring acid on the mold. He's wearing a gas mask.

this shouldn't be here.

Meanwhile, the mold seems to have messed with the funky robot's pathfinding systems, as it is repeatedly walking into a wall. It's lcd face is displaying a "D:" each time it bumps into the wall.

[dr-asterisk]

The test account on the esc servers Fell (Gsc Asterisk) had gotten into has now been renovated to has a picture of him (and cinnamon) as a profile picture and been renamed.

Yo am i just allowed to keep this account? Cause i haven't been booted yet

[dr-asterisk]

...i think it's time for you to go. nice to see you again and all but after that you should probably go.

nope. i came here for cinnamon, not leaving without him.

...oh.

Asterisk goes over to a vent.

uh... dr. bee, can you hear me?

ooc under cut

( @bee-with-a-camera hi ready for fell to get his cat back thank you !)

[dr-asterisk]

Gsc Asterisk, or just fell as I'll be calling him now, is now in the reactor room, staring at the reactor powering the facility in abject horror.

how do they all even function. this is so incredibly inefficient.

It's not actually that inefficient.

Then, he gets a really stupid idea. After a few moments of messing with his phone (and maybe guessing some old test account's password) he's now on a livestream on the esc servers.

heya, ya'll here at the ESC have a really sucky reactor so I'm gonna fix that for ya'll.

And he starts fucking with the reactor. It's getting louder. Gsc asterisk is shouting

this should eliminate any need for power management for the next like what, 50 years? you're welcome for this, by the way.

Fell laughs, but is cut off by the fact that there's suddenly another skeleton in here, a very upset looking Dr. Asterisk.

what are you doing.

upping the efficiency of the world's shittiest reactor.

you cannot just barge into our reactor room and start messing with things, do you know how many alerts normally would have been going off? i don't know how nothing tripped.

...yeah, too bad, almost done.

i'm not joking when i say you could get killed and start a full blown war between the esc and gsc for this.

too bad, so sad. look, i documented all the changes so you guys know what i did.

...how are you not dead if this is the type of stuff you do?

Asterisk turns to the livestream.

...and you're livestreaming this. great. hi all, sorry my gsc counterpart's a dumbass, i'll get him out of here.

Asterisk ends the livestream, then teleports himself and Fell out of the reactor room.

[dr-asterisk]

...why is my lab a mess? oh well.

Asterisk uses telekinesis to put his lab back together surprisingly fast, injects himself with the stabilizer, then goes and gets back to work.
