TERRIBLE LUCK
[Mister Scoops - Someone Is Trapped In My Ribs]

There was a plan in place. Someone was going to get hurt by the incoming disaster.

Ahead was a sign. "Free food, Free hints."

The AI raises his hand, giving a small wave. His sunglasses glinting in the sunlight.

"Oh, no, not much, really. Heard from a friend that you were good at guessing numbers."
"Been feeling pretty lucky lately you see, wanted to try my hand at the lotto later today."
Cheater
"If you need numbers guessed, I'm your man. Let me see...."
Cheater rolls five 20 sided dice. A 18, 15, 5, 16, and 20 is rolled.
Cheater
"Future is looking positive. 18, 15, 5, 16, 20. How do you feel about those numbers?"
Amy
"...A bit down, all things considered. Never was much of one for 16s."
Cheater
"Let me guess. You want new numbers?"
Amy
"...You can do that?"
Cheater
"If you're looking to cheat I wouldn't ask for hints."
Cheater
"What's your lucky number?"
Amy
"...One."
Sinister
"The lottery has more numbers than that but ok."
Amy
"He asked for my lucky number, am I supposed to lie?"
Yoshinori
"….I mean he did ask for lucky number (singular)"

Cheater changes the dice of Fortuna.

Cheater
"Your lotto numbers are 11, 17, 1, and 2, in that order."

"Just know, if you lose, it's not my fault."

"…Those certainly are some rather neat numbers!"
Amy
"Perfect. Thank you very much."
Scarlet
"I'm more than a little concerned about this, but hey it's your death party."
Solstice
"1.. one, one, one! How curious. I've never heard of a lucky number one."
Yoshinori
"…Oh whats life without a little morbid curiosity!"

With lucky numbers in hand, the leader of the group takes a look around.

There's a book path to the library.

A path to the god ray.

A book path up to a meditation spot.

And lastly it seems Missy Wissy is preparing to open her stall.

Yoshinori
"…….Meditation spot seems like a pretty ironic place to cause chaos.."
Scarlet
"That would be pretty wild, you couldn't write something that twisty."
Yoshinori
"……. Though it's up to the boss to decide!"

"Oh, you know, I came here because I was looking for some autographs, you guys don't think there'd be some writer stalls nearby? Isn't that one just over there?"

The eeeman points with his (one) finger towards Missy Wissy's stall.

Yoshinori
"……I do believe it is!"
Yoshinori
"….Indie writing event and all…"

"I've always been a big fan of Missy Wissy..."
Solstice
"Her works are always so fantastical!"
Scarlet
"...I have no Idea who that is."
Sinister
"Of course you don't. You're a aftik."
Yoshinori
"…You should read more books my friend!"
Yoshinori
"…Always a shame seeing someone uncultured and all!"
Sinister
"Read? Not sure. The correct term is "Eat" in your case."
Amy
"By the way, I don't believe I've introduced myself. My actual name's a bit embarrassing, so just call me Amy."
Amy
"You guys should lay off the poor aftik. He can always start reading now, y'know?"
Amy
"Since we're heading to a book stall and all."
Yoshinori
"….I guess you're right- It's a pleasure! My name's Yoshinori…"
Scarlet
"That is some highly discriminatory language you are engaging in buster"
Scarlet
"I do read a lot... I'm a writer..."
Amy
"...You know how to read?"
Yoshinori
"…Wow! …Congrats thats a pretty impressive feat!"
Amy
"A-anyways, let's uh,"
Scarlet
"Of course I know how to read, what you think just because I'm an aftik I can't read!"
Amy
Amy starts walking towards the stall.

While the group chatters away, they approach the stall of Missy Wissy, the indie marsue writer.

Helen
"It was nice seeing you again Missy Wissy! Keep it touch, alright!"
Missy Wissy
"Of course, it was nice seeing you as well."
Missy Wissy
"Sorry to hear about the birds, I hope that wasn't my fault....."
Helen
"You...just got here, I don't think anything is your fault."
Missy Wissy
"Oh but.....well I guess so."
Helen
"Looks like you got some fans so I'll leave you too it. Bye!"
Missy Wissy
Missy Wissy looks at the incoming group and adverts her eyes. Suddenly too shy to speak.

Scarlet whispers
"(Which one these two is Missy Wissy?)"
Amy
"(I think it's the marsue.)"
Amy
"(Wow Really, they don't look like a Missy Wissy.)"
Yoshinori
"……Well hello Miss Missy Wissy! …I'm a… fan of your works! ..It's a pleasure meeting a fellow writer!"

("Remember what the book said... just........")
Solstice
"Missy Wissy! May I have my book signed?" She pulls out a... Book? It doesn't quite look like one...
Missy Wissy
("Hello it's very nice to meet a fan of mine.....")
Missy Wissy
She sighs.
Amy
"Missy Wissy was it? Hey, we're some tourists here, looking for some autographs. I have a friend back home who told me to get one of your autographs if I happened to meet you...."
Amy
"...Y-you alright there?"
Missy Wissy
"Hello. It is. Very nice. To meet a fan of. Mine."
Missy Wissy
"Sorry I......am nervous around people......I........"
Missy Wissy
"I know I'm (a lot more exciting and upbeat online. I'm sorry.)"
Yoshinori
"……Aw don't apologize, we all get the jitters sometimes!"
Amy
"Ah, yeah, I have that effect on people, I wouldn't worry too much. Everyone gets nervous sometimes."
Yoshinori
"…. I think you're doing quite well Miss Missy Wissy!"
Sinister
"Yeah, people have a tendency of screaming "Sweet lord, WHAT'S THAT ABOMINATION" when they see him. Quite the nerve wracking sight"
Solstice
"That's quite alright, dear! Like Yoshinori said, you're doing amazing!"
Scarlet
"Yes I agree, you are doing quite fine Miss... whoever you are..."

"How rude!"

"Has no one taught you manners?"
Scarlet
"Oh yeah my momma taught me lots of manners."
Missy Wissy
"Right so do you want an...uh...autograph? I can write one."
Missy Wissy
"...................I don't have a pen........."
Yoshinori
"….I think I have a spare pen you can borrow! ….Not sure if it has ink though"
Sinister
Sinister sighs and uses a SPARE PEN, giving it to her.

"Amazing. A writer with no pen."

Amy gets an 11, as predicted.

Amy
Amy was going to check if he had a pen on him, but thankfully the manlet bot had already produced one from their inventory.
Missy Wissy
"Yeah..this...looks good.......(this is alright.....)"
Missy Wissy
"Here's your autograph. Uh......do you.....(have lore...) uh, have lore questions?"
Missy Wissy
"Uh, actually.....did you people like Raven Hemlock in my latest book?"
Missy Wissy
"He wasn't too cheesy right....(the reviews said he was cheesy.)"
Yoshinori
"…I did! … Quite fascinating to say the least!"
Yoshinori
"…Nothing wrong with being a little cheesy, I personally quite like it!"
Sinister
"The only character that's worth giving a damn compared to all the works made by filthy hacks in this convention, yeah. Quoth the raven."
Solstice
"Oh I adored him! Usually I dislike tropes, but you did it just wonderfully!"
Amy
"Well, I didn't read your book myself, but my friend thought them being cheesy helped. They don't really shut up about your works so I know a decent bit from osmosis, I think."
Missy Wissy
"Quoth the raven! You do know him!"
Missy Wissy
"I was honestly worried you....were all just getting autographs to sell online...."
Yoshinori
"…My that'd be just cruel! Especially from a fellow writer!"
Missy Wissy
"But you know his catch phrase so you must be real fans."
Amy
"A bit of an unrelated question, but speaking of friends, who was that generic from before? Another writer?"
Sinister
"Well, if you insist, I'd be more than happy to get a few more autographs for friends that have their pockets fuller than mine."
Yoshinori
"….Hey now, dont be rude!"
Missy Wissy
"Oh her? That's Helen. We were in a bird watching group a couple of years back."
Missy Wissy
"I uh, actually got the idea for Raven Hemlock on that trip!"
Missy Wissy
"It's uh....(A bit of a long story....)"
Yoshinori
"….Bird watching! How marvelous!"
Yoshinori
"…I'd love to hear this story of yours!"
Sinister
"...You know what's bird watching, right?"
Scarlet
"I don't get he big deal about bird watching, I look at birds all the time."
Sinister
"Marvellous, yeah, sure. Golf's marvellous too, if you think about it"
Yoshinori
"…I delight in the simple things, that's why i like pretty rocks so much!"
Yoshinori
"…Birds are quite the same, simple."
Scarlet
"I guess they do look nice."
Sinister
"Delightful. Still, do you plan putting Raven Hemlocks in the sequels? The critiques were surely hack themselves to miss the point of such a patrician character."
Solstice
"Ah... I've never been one for mundane acts, but I suppose I do see the fun in it."
Missy Wissy
"Honestly I feel like I'm forced to put Raven Hemlock into my next story."
Missy Wissy
"Don't get me wrong. I love Raven Hemlock but he's quite a loud muse, hard to control to!"
Missy Wissy
"He often writes himself."
Yoshinori
"…Oh how I relate to that statement…"
Yoshinori
"…My muse… ah, shes quite a mistress… But there's also fun in a muse that you fight or work besides!"

Helen is nowhere nearby. She has pranced off.

Scarlet
"You do just have to let the spirits flow where they'll go I guess."
Solstice
"How does that work, if I may ask?"
Solstice
"A muse that writes oneself... I've never felt such a thing before."
Scarlet
"I know It sounds silly, I didn't believe it myself at first."

"It is really hard to explain how it feels to just let the spirits flow through you and you just know, you know."
Yoshinori
"…Funny enough I can't truly relate as my muse is alive, but I can understand the struggle of your art working by itself thanks to them."
Amy
"Hey, you think I could ask you for another autograph? Make it out to my little buddy here, he's an anomalous shrimp luck black hole. Name's Roadkill."

"Yeah, it's a real, 'if you know, you know'!"
Missy Wissy
"Actually...haven't I seen your face before...have you written a book?"
Missy Wissy
"I'm sorry. I'm so bad at names. But I swear I've seen your book somewhere."
Scarlet
"Oh uh, are you talking to me!?"
Amy
"I think they are indeed. You've hit it big it seems?"
Scarlet
"I mean its really great to hear that someone's hear about me before, or about something I've written before"
Sinister
(Hey, eeman. Want to bet that they're the writer of a cookbook?)
Yoshinori
"…It's always nice to find a fan out in the wild aint it!"
Scarlet
"I mean, but yeah, I'm the acclaimed* author of 'Super Amazing Galaxy Squid Quest (Title still being decided)"
Amy
("I'm betting on power fantasy light novels, but that's not the worst idea either")
Missy Wissy
"I knew it! You write sci-fi like me!"
Missy Wissy
"I mean...it should have been obvious, all I read is sci-fi nowadays."
Scarlet
"Isn't that just the best genre though."
Missy Wissy
"Oh oh, is it the one where the main character decides to leave the military for wacky hijinks across the universe?"
Missy Wissy
"I like when plots go from serious, to jokes."
Missy Wissy
"It really highlights the escapism we all go into when we look towards sci-fi."
Scarlet
"I mean that definitely does sound like something I've written somewhere."
Scarlet
"But no Galaxy Squid Quest: The Sapphire Contibellum (Title Pending), is my newest work that I'm still sort of working on."
Scarlet
"Although I guess I have just been posting the Manuscript to every site that would take it."
Missy Wissy
"If you want maybe I can help look it over for you later!"
Missy Wissy
"If that's ok anyway. I can see if I can help it get into the hands of my friends too."
Scarlet
"I mean I don't know, this one's kind of dear to me, like real personal... I mean..."
Scarlet
"But you are I guess like a super famous writer too, so I mean I guess it might be okay?!?"
Missy Wissy
"Oh no. Of course I understand! You're not ready to share. I can wait. I understand the......."

"Revision hell."
Missy Wissy
"Anyway, do the rest of you need something? I don't want to bore you with our writer talk, especially as we can talk later."
Amy
"Ah, not much, just wanted to ask if we could get another autograph, dedicated to my pal here Roadkill. I understand if you want to keep chatting though, I'm not one to stop a good atmosphere."
Yoshinori
"….Agreed, Though I myself am quite alright. Just being able to see a great author in person is enough for me!"
Missy Wissy
"Sure I can write another one. Do any of you have a pen?"
Missy Wissy
("This one is pretty low on ink...")

[Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair - OSHIOKI Fly helicopter]
Missy Wissy
"Thank you!"
Missy Wissy
"I can't believe how nervous I was when I first got her. Now it feels super natural."

Missy Wissy starts signing the piece of paper when.

[DISASTER] Her pen breaks. Spraying ink all over the table, and on her newest writings.

Missy Wissy
"M-My recent Raven Hemlock writings!"

[DISASTER] "KkkQUOTHE OITH! RAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Critical pieces of Raven Hemlock has been overwritten. Raven Hemlock is uncontrollable, and EXTREMELY REAL.

[DISASTER] Raven Hemlock's pens start writing all over the place. Attracting attention from forces unseen!

Poetnix
"HOLY SHIT. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?"
Yoshinori
"….I have no clue…."
Amy
"I'd stay back if I were you."
Missy Wissy
"My-My...mus-muse........"

[Disaster] Raven Hemlock bites into Missy Wissy. Ripping her book out her body!

".................................................."
Yoshinori
"….What the heck?!"
Scarlet
"Woop"
Amy
"Oh, yep, that's a poetnix anomaly."

[DISASTER] While the birds fight over the book. Missy Wissy's book is torn apart, scraps falling to the floor like snow!

"..........................................................."
Yoshinori
"…………….that cannot be good…"

[DISASTER] THIS MOTHERFUCKER BURNS HALF THE TINY RIPPED UP PAGES BECAUSE HE FELT LIKE IT.

[DISASTER] NONE OF THE PAGES ARE RECOVERABLE. The only thing remaining of Missy Wissy's book is the cover.


Missy Wissy
"Missy....Wissy......"
Poetnix
[DISASTER] "Oh god. I found this awful fanfiction she wrote! Look, this page got splattered with ink, that's why that stupid damn original character is messing up!"

The page is ripped out.

Raven
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............................."
Missy Wissy
"Missy Wissy...."
Raven
"DotA. The Death of one's author. One's writing never expects to see such an event. Where does the muse go, when one's author is but a shell?"

The raven hops around Missy Wissy, checking for any signs that she's in there. It picks up the now teared up book and opens it.


Raven
"Lies are as good as truths, if it is written for long enough. But when there are no books. There are no lies, nor truths. Only uncertainty. Quoth the raven."
Raven
"Who of you has killed the author? Admit to your crimes, for there is no more evidence of it. Admit it, or live in guilt. Quoth the raven."
Scarlet
"I'm really not sure If anyone's responsible it seems like it was a series of unfortunate events that started with a pen?"
Yoshinori
"……….. I do believe it was yourself, dear Raven, when you took out that book."
Scarlet
"Wait was that my pen?"
Amy
Amy chokes on their words.
Sinister
Sinister sighs
"The aftik is too dull witted to have done the crime, so is the eeman, and the, uh pink thing. I take the blame, for all else, the idiots, are innocent."

"(…………I'm the child of an axeni and a quellian but pink thing is fine too, even if im purple and not pink.)"

Scarlet gets a 2, as predicted.

The aftik takes a step forward and steps on a pen on the floor. He will now walk with a limp for a day or two.

Scarlet
"Woop Woop Woop"

The raven flutters over to the hybrid.

Raven
"I am Raven Hemlock. The bird of tragedy. A today is a woeful day."
Raven rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +100. An 117 is rolled.

The hybrid is obliterated, but not killed out of mercy, by a single light peck by the raven."

Sinister
"(Well, eeman, while I'm somewhat "saddened" by what happened with the pink thing, you know now why he's cool, right?)"
Raven
"My forgiveness to this world has wane thin. I shall no longer give my assistance to you fiends who would kill Missy Wissy, an author of amazing potential who has done no harm."
Raven
"Birds, fiendish birds! Should I change my allegiance, will you write me a book?"
Poetnix
"Only if you get rid of that stupid shit that was added to you!"
Poetnix
"For Missy Wissy, I would do it all, for what is a muse, without its author? Quoth the raven."
