Licorice garrote

licorice garrote

This is a thick rope of licorice which can also be used to crush the trachea of anyone who doesn't have sufficient Crimbo spirit (or, y'know, anyone who does, too. It's not picky). Sure, piano wire's better for garotting, but it tends to get stuck in your teeth, and radio wire tastes too tomato-y.

Advent Calendar

When Consumed

• When eaten:

You eat the licorice garotte. It tastes like black licorice, unless you don't like black licorice. In that case, it tastes like red licorice, person who doesn't know from delicious.

You gain 1-5 Adventures.

You gain 10-20 Fortitude. You gain 10-20 Magicalness. You gain 10-20 Cheek.

You acquire an effect: Sugar Rush (duration: 5 Adventures)

(You gain 1 Fullness.)

• When used in combat:

You sneak up behind it and strangle it with your garrote. Man, that's harsh. Sure, a licorice whip might whip your ass, but at least you can still breathe. Monster attack power reduced by 10 Monster defense reduced by 10

• When used in combat with the Sugar Rush effect active:

You sneak up behind him and strangle &acc with all of your might. Once your might runs out, you start using up all of the nervous energy you've gotten by eating candy. Once that runs out you decide it's time to stop strangling.

You lose an effect: Sugar Rush Monster attack power reduced by 10+X Monster defense reduced by 10+X

Note

• When used with Y turns of Sugar Rush effect active, X is the square root of Y. (Thus with 100 turns of Sugar Rush, you will delevel 10+10 or 20 total.)

References

• The part of the item description referring to "tomato-y radio wire" refers to the climactic verse of the song "Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2" from the album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel.
• The conjecture that a licorice whip might "whip your ass" derives from a cover of "Love Rollercoaster" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
• It could also be a reference to a parody of the song "Whip It" that appeared on an episode of the Simpsons
