“Baby!” Prison Pocket said, seeing Günter run toward him. “Yes, yes, come to Papa! Such healthy, ruddy cheeks.”
Wham!
The moment Günter reached the kangaroo, the kid suddenly rocketed forward, the effects of the mallet strike delayed until that exact moment.
The massive kangaroo completely flipped in the air, landing on his back with an earth-shattering crunch. We all dove out of the way of his long, ridged tail.
“Here!” Genesis said, dropping the bloody dead engineer at my feet.
“Keep it down,” I yelled, pointing at the boss. “Donut, make more gremlins!”
“I’m on it!”she shouted as she summoned another. This one was a woman holding an oversized wrench. Two more appeared at the same time, and they all looked at each other, disoriented.
I examined the corpse at my feet. There was a hole the size of my fist in the middle of the man’s face.
Niels. Human. Level 35 Mechanical Engineer with a specialty in Weapons Upgrades.
This NPC was killed by Genesis the Lady Mantaur via a grappling hook to the goddamned face.
This was two of two available engineers during this heat. Neither were claimed. Better luck next time.
“You were supposed to get one of the joeys!” I shouted as I started to pull the blood-soaked costume off.
“And let you get the engineer? I don’t think so,” Genesis said.
“Yeah, just because we’re doing the temporary-ally thing don’t mean we stupid and shit,” Rapture added.
Prison Pocket was already starting to recover.
“Donut,” I said as I pulled at the corpse’s legs. My hands burned. The kangaroo skin was stuck to his body. It had built-in gloves with long, clawed nails at the end. The palm of the hand had a thick pad, like the paw of a dog. If those two idiots had gotten me one of the joeys, I would’ve had this already. “Keep the kangaroo down!”
Enchanted Juvenile Macropus Dominus Skin.
This item fills a costume slot. This can be worn as an outer garment. You might want to protect your face, though.
I’d fuck me. I’d fuck me so hard, mate.
Equipping this costume imbues the following effects:
Protection from Seeping Acid.
A level 10 Jump skill.
+5 to the Lotion Application skill.
Warning: This is a 12-hour timed item.
Slam!A giant hailstone smashed into the groaning kangaroo, who remained crumpled off the side of the road.
“My babies,” the prone kangaroo cried as he munched on another gremlin, healing himself.
“Goddamnit!” I cried as I pulled at the feet of the sticky joey skin. Next to me, the two womantaurs stood there and watched. “You can at least help!”
“This was your plan,” Genesis said.
The other kangaroo was also down. Chiyome had already gotten herself into a kangaroo costume and was flipping through the air toward the monster.
I shoved my arms into the stinking costume. I hoped my goddamned inventory would still work with this thing on. I pulled the kangaroo head over my own, and there was a loudclick. A new achievement flashed.
