You're fighting an angry bassistYou suddenly find your way forward blocked by a lanky dude with a knit cap, scraggly moustache, and hip-hugging, skin-tight jeans.
"What the heck, man?" he says. "Octorok Orgy can't play because you pawned my bass so you could get a haircut!"
"Look, I don't even know what you --" you say, but the dude interrupts you.
"I'm not talking to you," he says, "I'm talking to <Familiar Name>!"
<Familiar Name> looks up, surprised. "But I needed a haircut! Why can't I have a haircut?" he says. His logic appears to be lost on the angry bassist, though, so it looks like there's gonna be a throw-down.
ROUND ONE: FIGHT!
Hit Message(s):
He swings a fist at <Familiar Name>, but hits you instead. He doesn't even say, "my bad!" Ugh! Eek! Ouch! Eek! Ouch! Oof!
He stomps on the ground, sending out a shockwave. <Familiar Name> jumps over it, but it knocks you over. Ow! Ooh! Ouch! Eek! Eek! Ow!
He tries to run over <Familiar Name> with his fixed-gear bicycle, but hits you instead. Man, those things are heavy! Eek! Eek! Oof! Ooh! Ugh! Eek!
He releases some kind of energy beam at <Familiar Name>, but it hits you instead. Woah, is this a realistic story about hipsters, or a video game? Eek! Argh! Argh! Ugh! Ugh! Ow!
not known
He swings a fist at <Familiar Name>, but misses both him and you.
He throws a minor hissy-fit about how his ironic hair-metal chiptune cover band can't rehearse.
He tries to run over <Familiar Name> with his fixed-gear bicycle, but misses. Since the bike has no brakes, it takes a minute for him to stop.
He shouts, "HAIDOKEN!" but nothing happens. I guess this is a realistic story about hipsters, not some kind of comic book/video game hybrid.
He stops to talk with <Familiar Name> about whether Octorok Orgy should be a cover band that does chiptune versions of hair-metal songs, or an ironic hair-metal band that does metal covers of video game soundtracks.
