In the Year 1023... (Frozen Princess x RainK

[Frozen Princess]

While April, who upon seeing the image of Green Arrow, went to the bows to look, she could be heard saying, "Of course. Emerald Archer. Seattle, where he's from is nicknamed The Emerald City, and he dresses in all green like Robin Hood... Duh, April, you used to read Green Arrow!" After finding Arrow's bow and quiver of arrows, April rejoined everyone.

Eilonwy overheard Zara and sadly shook her head. "If you noticed, there's a character height cap, Majesty. It was one of the things I was working on before the program outed me. Right now, a character can be no taller than seven foot. You think the Queen of the Cat People would be only seven foot? I also think Little John was supposed to be 75 inches, 400 or so pounds. That's 7-3. You saw him. He's your height. Capped at seven foot. Only his weight looked right. If Catra is on your shoulders, she'll be hunched over, like this." She then demonstrated.

Catra didn't believe the princess, who had created the game, and scampered up on Zara's shoulders banging her head on the invisible character ceiling hard enough, everyone in the room (so NOT KC nor Polly) saw her stars and planets. "Ooowwwww!" She winced holding the top of her head with both hands, luckily she had placed her sais in their case. Unfortunately, when she banged her head, she dropped her case. "I was in trees much taller than Zara!"

"Yes. Because they aren't a character." Eilonwy answered.

"Ents are trees!" Catra whined.

"And they would be capped at seven foot. The trees you climbed were inanimate. Actual plants. Means of getting supplies." Eilonwy said calmly, almost sisterly. Like she had a younger sibling outside the game.

Angie and Sapphire exchanged realization looks. "Wouldn't the program be capped at seven feet tall, then?" Sapphire asked.

"Not if it's has actually taken over the original big boss." Eilonwy shook her head sadly. "One of the bosses is the labyrinth minotaur, which stands fifteen. Zara s character should have been half that, not capped half a foot under her ideal height." The princess had no idea that was Zara's ACTUAL height! She just knew how tall her Cat Queen was supposed to be!

Goldie, after finding the whip, which was indeed an S-tier weapon, thanked May for her help by dipping her and giving her a passionate kiss, joined the group. "I had to use my Indiana Jones bullwhip to trip the sucker. I can vouch it stood a good 15 feet. We needed it down so Artemis... That's KC's character... Could shoot an arrow into it's temple control panel."

Speaking of KC, she and Polly were still guarding outside the room, oblivious to the drama unfolding inside. "How do I know you won't go vengeful goddess on me?" Fair question, but this was KC Polly was talking to; she should know better. "But if you're sure.." Polly misjudged the reflection of her medieval "lightsabre" angle and shot a beam into the room, slicing a table in half and scattering smaller weapons displayed there, everywhere. Polly's eyes went wide. "KC! That would have been permanent! I woulda put your eye out with this! Didja see what I did to that table?!"

Eilonwy slapped her face, and ran her hand down it. "Someone's playing with her sword, I see... I think we better get out there. It shouldn't have done THAT. See what I mean about the game's gone 'wonky'?"

Angie muttered under her breath about not having to pick up KCs pieces to patch her together, getting a chuckle out of April, Sapphire and Eilonwy. Classic Dr. McCoy.

Zara glanced over at the princess and raised a brow. "Ya know I know I'm not the quietest of girls, but you've got some ears on you, princess." She chuckled and shook her head before watching as Catra dashed up to her, then felt as she scrambled up the mountain that was her girlfriend. Only to hear a solid thunk and then a hiss as Catra leaned forward. Zara let out her own hiss, her ears flattening, and a scathing glare was sent at the invisible ceiling. She tugged Catra down off her shoulders and set her back on her feet before leaning over and kissing her on the head. "Alright, well, this stupid game has hurt my girlfriend, so it needs to burn. Let's find the boss boy and beat him down!"

KC gave Polly a deadpan stare as if to say "REALLY," she then shook her head with a chuckle, "Just shoot brainiac, see what that thing can do, yeah." She smiled and waited as Polly geared up, and then she aimed only to misjudge the angle and the lance of light that shot out went careening through the room, slamming into a nearby table and cutting right through that. KC blinked and then let out a laugh as she glanced over at Polly's horrified face. "Oh ho ho ho hahaha th th that could have been so bad oh man. Oh, just look at your face, you're so mad hahahaha." She continued to laugh and giggle as she stepped over to Polly and wrapped her arms around her, her self preservation not very high at the moment as she continued to laugh.

May let out a yip of surprise as she was grabbed and dipped, only for a slight moan of approval to escape her lips as Goldies found hers. She stood back up, and an emoji of a girl that looked a lot like May with heart eyes appeared. "You really know how to sweep a girl off her feet, don't you hehe" She giggled and kissed her cheek before she returned to her search. eventually finding a weapon that was pretty close to what she wanted, a massive two-handed greatsword. She claimed it as hers and then let it disappear, only to reappear a moment later in her hand, now remade into the shape of a slender silver rapier. "Oh yes I am so ready"

Eilonwy, Kim and Sapphire all winced at Catra's beaning, and one of them let out a painful "oooffph" of their own (if you know the dialogue colours, Zara can give that particular girl a sympathetic look).

Eilonwy took a breath. "Let's try to save as much of the game we can... This took a couple years as it is, and was my senior thesis. I was actually in the middle of trying to PREVENT what just happened to Catra. The builder is trapped in here with you.." Eilonwy didn't realize that if her hypothesis was right, they WERE going to have to destroy the game from the program out. She also readied a keycard that had ADMIN¹ on it. Her real life thing she had with her. A close look at the picture ID would look like a real life version of Princess Daphne (so about 10 years between 16-25, 80s cartoon she's probably 20ish?) from the game they were going into, only dressed in 21st century clothing, dirty blonde hair, glasses, and a couple of cups smaller than Daphne's DDs. (So... C cups)

Angie saw the ID keycard and couldn't help her curmudgeon. "Aren't you a little small t' be Daphne, Princess?"

Polly just let KC pull her into an embrace, her sword held loosely in her hand."Course I'm mad. That would not have ended well. For either of us. You accuse me of having some pretty bad ideas for a brainiac, but, damn, KC, talk about being a brain dead farthead."

Eilonwy and the others had just reentered the hall. Sapphire, the captain of the volleyball team, glared at KC as everyone had heard Polly's remarks. "Omigawd, KC... WHAT the HELL did you do NOW?!" Cinderella wearing the Captain's scowl just didn't even look right, right now.

Eilonwy touched Sapphire's shoulder. "Whatever it is, save it for later. Anger, even righteous anger, just doesn't look right on the face everyone sees you wearing. You're Cinderella, right now."

Goldie grinned at May. A typical Indy joke, parody or no, escaped her lips, "Lookin' sharp, there, girlfriend!"

Angie grumbled with an eyeroll and a typical Dr. McCoy snark at the adventurer.

Eilonwy led them back to the main part of the library. "Now we have to make a stop at the settings to get everyone up to their correct S level hit points. Everyone should be 10x higher HP than they already are. Everyone think and focus of the Kingdom of King Ethelred." So KC had guessed correctly. You thought of the place you wanted to go. "That's where we'll find the settings, and the big bad boss. Yes, we have to fight a ginormous, massive, fifty foot tall Singe." She closed her eyes. "Zara, will you please do the honours of opening the door to the big boss level. We should be in the throne room of King Ethelred." It would be just as Eilonwy said, with no sign of Singe... Yet.

Zara rolled her eyes as she glanced at the princess, "I mean, I'm sure you can rebuild it from the important bits, even if I wreck it, yeah?" She gave her a toothy grin before she glanced down at Catra and kissed the top of her head, where she noted a nice little goose egg was now sitting. "Damn, babe, that's gonna smart for a bit. Hopefully, if we do this level-up thing right, that will remove it for ya if not.....well just be more careful mmk." Hearing her name, she turned to look before shaking her head, "Yeah, sorry that's not my expertise, you wanna hit up a pyramid, talk to Cleopatra, I'm your girl. Other stories, unless they're popular, don't really stick with me."

KC continued to giggle and even snort a little as she held onto Polly and peppered her with kisses as a sort of apology for the idea. She doubted it would have killed her, but it would have damn sure hurt, and that would have made Polly feel terrible. "Hey, it's alright, and how was I supposed to know it was gonna do that? The princess king said it was supposed to blind, not go full Godzilla breath on me." She glanced up at Sapphire and stuck out her tongue in response to her words. "I didn't do anything. We were testing stuff out for science and whatnot, and well, like science does from time to time, it didn't work like we thought it would. But what it could do is awesome and will clear a wave of mooks in no time."

May gave a sort of bow to Goldie before flashing her sword around like Inigo Montoya she smiled and winked at her before turning to Angie her fingers flashing quickly as she signed "So like how much of this is you and how much is Bones?" She giggled and danced out of reach of whatever the doctor might do before heading over to the door an image of a tiny black dog and red slippers appeared above her head before she grabbed a door and opened to where they were supposed to be going
