The Wiener Moon is nigh.

[wurstoftheworst]

Two weeks ago, a batch of strangely-colored hot dogs appeared in Milliways.

Some patrons ate them. Others were inexplicably bitten by the strange sausages. Both groups were afflicted by a strange illness, the symptoms of which included an itchy rash, unusual hair growth, and cravings for condiments. The physical effects of this 'infection,' however, were as nothing compared to the mental effects. There is a presence in the minds of the infected, growing in power with each passing day, pushing them to spread the infection.

But today? Today it's different.

The presence now strikes all the infected simultaneously, with the force of a tidal wave. It's all but impossible to resist, and although the message is wordless, its content is clear:

It is time. Claim my territory.

[ooc: And it's Wiener Uprising time! If you're a Minion, attack your fellow patrons; if you're not a Minion, fight back or just cower under a table somewhere. Party-style tagging, threadhopping is encouraged, open until I say it's not. Have fun, kids!]

It would be a lie to say that Cata's been monitoring the situation since her rather odd conversation with the Medic a few days ago. (For one thing, she's mostly been keeping an eye out for him - but that's certainly not because she's worried or anything.) But she has been maintaining a presence at her usual table, most days; today is no exception.
And if she's happened to have a batch of beginners' papers apparently occupying her attention the whole time... well, she has her reasons for suspecting trouble might come of this. If and when it did, she thought, she might as well have the work it would do the least harm to lose at hand. She feels no qualms about making the beginners rewrite things.
And when the trouble does start? Well, she's still keeping an eye out for one person in particular, but she's not above incapacitating anyone who tries to stop her. (Don't worry, it won't be lethal, even temporarily.)

[forgoodorforawesome]

"Grr! Argh!" While Strong Bad's body is seeking prey in obeisance to the Alpha Wurst's commands, his mind is engaged in a life-or-death struggle for dominance...

Aw, c'mon! Not even a little bit of grape jelly?

NO.

How 'bout some'a that purple ketchup, then?

STILL NO.

Aw man, you're the meanest evil superconsciousness I ever got swallowed by!

...okay, maybe not such an important struggle, but it's the principle of the thing.

[chameno_koritsi]

Turning towards the sounds of his internal argument Thalia pauses when she catches sight of him and freezes in confusion.

"What?"

[forgoodorforawesome]

It takes him a moment longer than it normally would to feel the eyetracks of an audience, but when he does, he turns to face her. "What what?"

[seat_five_girl]

Ako is having a fairly normal breakfast at a fairly normal table. If she is bumping into things more than she would normally, well, that comes of having a new weapon on her belt. Besides the flashlight like stunner and the alien ray gun there is a two pronged length of sharpened silver and it keeps knocking into everything.

[ostro_goth]

Teja and his axe are ready to deal with all and any disturbances.

It's time for the rash-and-black-fur infection to come to its peak, and there is a tangible tension in the air.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy is in the rafters... lurking above him...

This one needs to be taken out.

[ostro_goth]

"Guppy!" Teja calls out. "What are you doing up there? Come down!"

[chameno_koritsi]

Thalia's been watching the clock for when the full moon takes affect and munching on fried paradoxes as she does so. She's got a staff and her ever present silver bracelet that turns into her aegis.

[not_his_pa]

William's door surprises him and he walks over to Thalia and wishes he had a gun, he doesn't like the feel of the Bar,

"There goin' to be a fight?"

[chameno_koritsi]

"William! You should go back home if you can. There's some sort of weird monster that Apollo thinks is going to try and take over the bar."

Oh the things that make sense in Milliways.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy's eyes glaze over as the boss takes hold...

And then he stands up on the table, holds a dramatic pose, and starts to sing.

"I've had my chews,
Parsley and thyme,
I've had my ketchup,
But committed no crime.

And bad cheesesteaks,
I've met a few.
I've had my sporks and forks in my face,
But I've come through!

Barbacue is going on, and on, and on, and on!

Wiener the champions, my friends!
And wiener keep fighting to the end!
Wiener the champions, wiener the champions,
No time for noodles, 'cos wiener the champions... of the bar!"

[sunbaked_baker]

Sunshine is used to hearing the noise of the bar while she's in the kitchen, baking. But this? Takes the cake.

And the cinnamon rolls.

What looks to her like a demon who has recently reached the point where he's tired of pretending to be human is standing on a nearby table. Singing.

The girl at the kitchen door, carrying the tray of baked goods, stares. What the lurid, multicolored hells is going on out here?

[guppy_sandhu]

"Not just any cows,
Not just any bulls,
Made from the finest pork and everything that goes with it,
I'll thank you all."

Guppy jumps down, picks up a bread roll, and puts it on his head.

"But it's been no bread of roses,
No pleasant juice,
I consider this a challenge before the whole wiener race,
That I ain't gonna lose!

Barbacue is going on, and on, and on, and on!"

[chameno_koritsi]

Thalia turns from asking the Bar for any sort of silver eating implements at Guppy's...song, declaration? She's not sure what it was but she knows it's on now. Cue on demigod hero in fighting stance with an activated aegis.

"I don't think so!"

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

You know what?

Some days it's just not worth the effort of trying to get all your colors to match. Or trying to puree sausages enough to use them in your Blutsauger syringes for maximum impact. Some days, you just have to throw caution to the winds and let your temper out on absolutely anything in your path.

The air's gonna be kinda full of needles for a little bit. Hope you don't mind.

[not_his_pa]

William's searching for silver things and has found a number of forks and things in the back and is just emerging from the counter when the needles fly.

He hits the floor as fast as he can and pulls a stool down for some sort of cover.

[dark_dancer]

Well, that's one mystery solved.
Fortunately, Cata's behind him when the needles start flying, and even in this kind of chaos she still knows how to move quietly. So he likely won't know she's there until she gets right behind him and says, "Really?"

[chameno_koritsi]

Yeah like needles are going to do anything to celestial bronze. Ting, ting, ting. Still it keeps Thalia's head down behind her shield right?

A wild The Cheat approaches!

[ilko_skevuld]

The Cheat is done prowling in the woods. It's time for the big show. Time to get re-clawed. Time to get feral. Time to get funky.

Re: A wild The Cheat approaches!

[seat_five_girl]

Playing the role of almost innocent bystander tonight we have one Izumi Ako.

[bprd_agent_red]

It's a total accident that Red comes in.

He isn't looking for the bar, but when he steps across the threshold and surveys the scene he only has one thing to say.

"Aw, crap."

Drawing the Samaritan with one hand, and clenching the stone fist of his other, he wades into the fray.

[not_his_pa]

William scrambles from behind a turned over table to behind Red, he's bigger,

"Need silver forks, here, shoot these."

[evil_koala_626]

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Somethings don't need words. That cackle, for example, promises a very bad day will be cheerfully administered to anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot. A cackle like that knows it's got a few toys in the attic. It just views them more as handy projectiles than anything to be concerned about.

[not_his_pa]

William has been ducking behind things as the crazy man shooting needles is still firing.

Thalia seems to be fighting everyone and William remembers that yell so when he sees the blue thing tries to get two cocktail forks into it. As throwing them hasn't been working this time he's just going to tackle the thing, he is bigger than it.
