The Tickle Meme

 Bad news, everyone: the Gardeners have successfully infected Locke City with...

Tickle Frenzy.


Is there something in the water? The air? Maybe it's just mass hysteria at this point. Either way, characters are prone to both finding themselves compelled to tickle and/or possibly to being especially ticklish on this occasion.

Truly, it's the most nefarious scheme our brave heroes have encountered yet. For today we learn:

WHO IS WEAK?

WHO IS A TICKLE MONSTER?

WHO WILL BE KICKED IN THE FACE?



Well, go and find out!

tickle, tickle

Come on, you can't be afraid that you're going to lose!

[Does she just... tickle them? At random? Or... how does this go exactly?]

[You'd better not.]

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2013-07-14 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Being so incredibly stealthy, they slowly sneak behind Vanessa, tiptoeing the entire way.]
doomedtheworld: (Default)

[personal profile] doomedtheworld 2013-07-14 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, man, the stealth attack would never work on her if she had her super senses back already. But she does not.]

[You guys are going to be so sorry though, she swears it.]
originaloddcouple: (Excited Duo)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2013-07-14 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Too bad too sad, because the dynamic duo are just gonna go ahead and JUMP ATTACK.]
doomedtheworld: (Uh oh)

[personal profile] doomedtheworld 2013-07-14 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aaah! What the hell JUMP ATTACK?! It'll never work, she's probably not even ticklish at all!]

[EXCEPT APPARENTLY SHE TOTALLY IS and she SHRIEKS at the tickle attack, trying to kick her way out of it.]


Aaaaah! Hey--cut it out--!
originaloddcouple: (How's this...)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2013-07-14 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[They immediately tickle the most sensitive spots they can think off, which is basically just armpits, toes and belly. They have the biggest evil grins right now.]

The needs of the many outweigh the few!

And we're the many people who want to tickle you!
doomedtheworld: (Uh oh)

This is where my laughing icon would go... IF I HAD ONE

[personal profile] doomedtheworld 2013-07-14 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[That is not what that line is supposed to be used for at all!]

[So she's just going to scrunch up into a ball and try not to giggle like a freak!]


No fair-! Y-you're cheating!

originaloddcouple: (Happy Isaac)

Vanessa doesn't laugh, she just broods.

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2013-07-14 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah-hah! A ball, eh? Well, they'll just have to find a weak point!

So they basically just tickle any spot on her body that isn't covered.
]

I disagree!

We're just bending the rules!
doomedtheworld: (pic#)

Like Batman?!

[personal profile] doomedtheworld 2013-07-14 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is this any way to treat your wise mentor?!]

That's what-- cheating is!

[Ack! This is not going well, she needs to counterattack! Quick, which one of these two looks more ticklish?]
originaloddcouple: (I'm So Inspired)

YEEEEESSS

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2013-07-14 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is exactly how to treat their wise mentor.]

Blasphemy!

[Miria is probably more sensitive, but Isaac definitely has more weak spots. Both of them look prepared for a counter-attack, but they're really not.]
doomedtheworld: (Anger)

Well, she IS going to end up perching on buildings and swooping down from the shadows

[personal profile] doomedtheworld 2013-07-15 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, so that's how you want to play it, huh?]

[Fine! She sees her chance goes for the SUDDEN REVERSAL. Her target: Miria! Because she seems like the scrappier one in a ticklefight.]
abidan: (• GRINGRIN.)

There's more of you than me, MM. I know who'll win this.
abidan: (• look at my cute fucking face.)

[personal profile] abidan 2013-07-12 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Surely that just means there's more weight to sit on you and hold you still?
abidan: (• super sekrit.)

[personal profile] abidan 2013-07-12 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure I'd succeed. I'm stronger than I look!

[ Yeah, he's not. ]
espigeonage: (🌊You've gotta swim)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2013-07-12 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[The only response is a wide, possibly slightly psychotic grin-

-and, lunging and trying to pick Emery up at the waist and hoist him off the ground. Julien's rather shorter and doesn't weigh much but he's got muscle.]
abidan: (• am I sexy yet.)

[personal profile] abidan 2013-07-12 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That grin is psychotic, and Emery thinks too late to take a step back, but then Julien's somehow managed to pick him up!? Even the arms around his waist is enough to set him off: Emery laughs loudly, ever the goof, and attempts to reach down to tickle Julien's sides, aiming for the spaces between his ribs that he knows set him off personally. ]

Jule— Julien!
espigeonage: (☀of the valley below)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2013-07-12 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah there's a flaw in the plan of throwing Emery over his shoulder, the guy's arms are free. Julien... can't laugh normally anymore, but makes weird panting-sounding exhalation whilst staggering around increasingly off-balance.]

Aaah! I should've- worn armor! No!

[Awkward topple onto a convenient couch or giant beanbag chair or something!]
abidan: (• oh. that.)

[personal profile] abidan 2013-07-13 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Armour? Who has armour!

[ No, seriously, who just has armour lying around? Not that it really matters — this clearly means he's winning, and if Julien's odd breathing is anything to go by it's not just by an inch. That, or he's about to have an asthma attack ...

Which is actually a little concerning. When they topple back onto the beanbag, Emery sprawled around Julien, he pauses for a moment to make sure he's not actually dying.
]

Are you all right?
espigeonage: (💘I'm gone I'm getting out)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2013-07-13 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Could've borrowed it!

[He lays there a minute, eyes closed, trying and failing to endure stoically, but Emery stopping makes him crack one eye open.]

Come closer...

[so Julien can grab the collar of Em's shirt and keep him close while going for the gut, pant-laughing like an ape. Predictable? Maybe.]
abidan: (• my BEANS!)

[personal profile] abidan 2013-07-13 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
You rotten cheat—

[ Emery flails and squirms and laughs, trying in equal parts to get away and get him right back with tickles of his own. Again, he's mostly aiming for Julien's ribs, since that seemed to be quite effective last time; ]

Absolutely ... rotten ... cheater!
espigeonage: (☼to fall off the earth)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2013-07-13 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! Yes! Ghghh-

[His grip loosens as he tries to protect himself but Emery is not getting away that easily - there's Julien's leg trying to hook him and keep him in place. There are advantages to being on the bottom.]
abidan: (• ur funny tho.)

[personal profile] abidan 2013-07-13 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Advantages adshmantages — Emery's up on his knees in a second despite the peals of laughter escaping him in bursts, attempting to keep Julien's legs pinned while he goes for the stomach. ]

You're proud! I don't believe it ...

[ But he's laughing again, because this is just ridiculous. ]
espigeonage: (🌊 I promise it's not as far as you think)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2013-07-13 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
You've got- reach! I've got moral flexibility!

[Julien tries to flip on his side and escape but there is no escape, is there! He can't even really grab Em, he does have shorter arms. So there's shoving with his toes - not kicking, trying to ward off the hands. There's an obvious downside to that, of course, but maybe his feet smell bad enough to dissuade that?]

[...no, right, he sprayed them down with antistink stuff earlier because Julien hates to smell bad. Whelp.]

[Does this papa like being kicked? Because this guy just might.

He'll just lurk a few paces away and try to size up this opponent]

Any?]

[Challenge accepted!

..Except they don't move or do anything because they actually aren't prepared for the horse.
