Epileptic Trees

The crew dreams.

As they have been for the past while, their dreams are being tampered with, but tonight it's different. Roxie, one of the crew members has done rituals to try to give the crew good dreams. However, the power of the Nightmare King can't easily be overcome, as a result, rather than pleasant or nightmarish, people's dreams are instead taking a turn for the surreal tonight.

Get ready to go down the rabbit hole, Meatship.

The jovial extra terrestrial sporadically giggled at the sight of the imaginary synthetic meat by-product. Exuberance!

Curiouser and curiouser.

The Centurion has a blaster pointed straight at our intrepid hero. Lyle stands with his arms raised, down but not out.

Lyle half-smirks. "You think you've got me, but you're surrounded by the entire Legion."

"I don't believe you," says the villain, quirking his perfectly manicured mustache.

"Would you believe the Subs?"

"No."

"How about Arm-Fall Off Boy and Proty?"

The Centurion aims and fires, but fortunately Lyle's trusty fellow agent grabs him from behind at the last moment. Lyle turns and raises his eyebrows at the blast hole in the wall beside him.

"Missed me by that much."

"Do you have to taunt him?"

From where Duncan was standing, the miss hadn't been by all that much. This was annoying for any number of reasons, including - but not limited to - the fact that, "Now everyone will know we've been here!"

The villain was going to ruin everything! Maybe they could rebuild the wall?

"It's the old taunting the tawdry terrorist to tip his ... hand trick."

Lyle isn't sure why he's talking like this. He's feeling a mix of self confidence and complete confusion. How can you be both at the same time?

"Don't worry, I've got it covered."

With that, Lyle removes a wad of gum from his cheek, removes his shoe, and loudly hammers the gum into the hole in the wall.

"Good as new."

A sigh of relief.

"How did you do that?"

Never having met Lyle before (and dreams being what they were), Duncan didn't see anything especially strange about, well, anything. Including the alliteration.

Or the dramatics. "We've thwarted you," he informs the strange opponent, "Justice returns!"

"A simple MacGyverism, my good man." Huh. Wonder who that was.

Lyle is feeling more confident now that everything seems to be going his way, even if he's not sure why.

"Justice and one billion dollars to Fort Knox! And I'll expect you to pay for my dry cleaning."
