I am simultaneously intrigued and terrified of the direction this cactus seems to be going.

Anyone else hopping aboard "Operation: '...These Nachos are actually Buenos for once.'" train?
Nope. Though I do wanna have Roddy build Hego a lair underneath Bueno Nacho, since Bueno Nacho seems to give a narrative Intrigue bonus to whatever happens there by sheer virtue of nobody ever going to Bueno Nacho.
 
THE SCHOOL OF LOVE AND NINJA MAGIC'S ULTIMATE SECRET TECHNIQUE
THE SCHOOL OF LOVE AND NINJA MAGIC'S ULTIMATE SECRET TECHNIQUE

------------

"Finally."

Tobe stared across the city street. On the other side, having blasted his way through all the heavy traps set for him, was Toffee - the only member of his army to make it that far.

"A worthy opponent."

Behind Tobe stood the Vagabond Ninja, his loyal troupe having followed him all the way to the end - but their job was not to fight Toffee. He would crash them aside like so much chaff in the wind. Their job was to keep his back safe from a flank through an alleyway, and to support Jumong's rituals.

"Our battle..."

All of the preperations had been met. The ceremony had been amazing, as had the honeymoon afterwards, but it was the blessing of the 'devil girl' that was more important here. Enhancing his ninja magics with the slightest sliver of her own allowed them... options, in the upcoming fight, and what kind of a ninja would he be if he didn't ruthlessly abuse his enemy's unknown weaknesses?

Not a very good one, surely. And Tobe was a good ninja.

"WILL BE LEGENDARY! Jing Jing, assume the position!"

"Yes!"

The two of them reached out, one hand grasping the others', the other hand pointed towards Toffee. "These hands of ours are burning red!"

Tobe's hand turned into a fist. "Their loud roars tell us..."

"...to grasp happiness!" Jing Jing's hand mirrored his.

Toffee looked distinctly unamused. "...Is this in aid of something?"

The two twirled around each other, ignoring Toffee for a second, and posed with their hands overlaping. "Erupting..."

Toffee shrugged. "Well, if that's all..."

They reached back as the glowing blue and yellow glows of two kinds of magic flowed between their hands. "Magic Finger!"

Toffee froze, only for an instant, at the site of yet uncorrupted Mewni magic flowed and bloomed between their hands, slowly becoming tinted red in the mix. "Wait a minute, no!"

"Seki!" "Ha!"

Toffee began to run, as the energy in their hands reached a peak.

"Love Love!"

-------------

TOBE & JING JING MARTIAL CHECK: 100+100+69+20+19+7+7+5+3+100 (His Only Weakness bonus)+30 (accumulated narrative/metaphysical weight/The Power Of Love) = 430
TOFFEE MARTIAL CHECK:
50+65+30-14-5 = 131
TOBE & JING JING EXTREME CRITICAL SUCCESS!


-------------

But that didn't matter, as the fight was already over.

"TENKYOKEN!"

Tobe and Jing Jing's hands, growing red with love, pushed forward, and a massive glowing ball of energy shot out, streaking towards Toffee. His eyes widened for just a moment as the visage of the true Mewnian Queen flew towards him, and then it passed through - the energy ball shot straight through him, burning his entire body oily black and leaving a hole in the middle of him in the shape of a heart. He froze in place, a pile of sludge that only barely resembled his former self.

Tobe smirked, lifting up Jing Jing into a bridal carry as they both looked deep into the heart shaped hole. "Now, our true journey begins!"

Toffee, slowly collapsing, shook. "No... you don't get to make the plans... I do..." He reached out with his hand. "Only I know how this turns out!"

"Have a sandwich!"

DENNIS MARTIAL CHECK: 30+20+17+7+5+3 = 82
TOFFEE MARTIAL CHECK: 35+5-14-5-10 (Recent crit fail)-10 (Surprise Attack!) = 1
DENNIS EXTREME CRITICAL SUCCESS! TOFFEE EXTREME CRIT FAIL!

A massive flying sandwich tore through the air, smashing directly into Toffee. Toffee, who was clearly not bready, was smashed into paste.

Dennis looked at him. "Turns out you're dead!"
 
I agree @Lab_Accident we should build the portal to Tom's Hell Dimension in the bowels beneath the legally distinct square of land we own in Middleton. This is a great idea. Nobody will ever know! And if demons ever get spotted, we can build the cursed mystique of the inevitable rebrand as Nachos Malos even more powerful

The QM's thought they could stop my bevy of Sandwich based tech paths and quests by devouring it whole? FOOLS! This only means that we have a new quest! To find another Sandwich! WAHAHAHA

The Doofonic Ideal Evil Sandwich is still a dream! And when the Queen comes she will make reality a dream! And then I will be there! Laughing as the sheer evil of the Perfect (Evil) Sandwich of my dreams!!

Very good point. I know we were talking about trading our Scrolls for Xanatos' Cookbook, we could do that in a turn or two depending on if Hego gets the ability use the Scrolls himself. We were reminded that the Cookbook has ninjutsu, so that ought to be an easy-ish way to raise his Occult. Another way could be to do his Train the Vagabond Ninjas. If nothing else, that ought to increase his Martial, and maybe his Intrigue.
Once we get Juniper and have her crack dance magic, we can legit teach it to Tobe's minions as Ninja Backup Dance Magic. It wouldn't even be weird by Tobe's standards.

Did I just hear Juniper and Get without a dont in the middle?! Where do I have to firm?!

(Yet, another traumatized teenager that work for us. Should we recruit that Todoroki minus the ice powers too?)

It is time for operation: (Not so) Bueno Nacho.
 
I like the idea, but given that it requires a certain level of mastery in the ninja arts, we can't really spread it without giving a lot of people superpowers. It'd be more effective just to optimize hormone therapy, as we're better at genetics than magic anyway.

that sounds like something somebody who doesn't think we can train the entire populace of Doofania in ninjutsu magic would say
 
Hey, planmakers. Speaking of Juniper: Technor invited himself in as a bonus the last time we critted a Recruit Supervillains action. Do we want to put Technor instead of Mirage on Recruit Supervillains next turn, to bait bonus-recruiting his former partner and Karaoke buddy Juniper? He rolls effective 23 Diplomacy, while Mirage rolls 24, so it's no big loss.

I've got just the thing.

The Ninja-Inator
- After seeing how well this whole ninja thing has gone for Tobe you decided that everyone in the Tri-State area deserves to get in on the action! Now with your Ninja-Inator you can give people the skills of a master ninja, or at least an apprentice ninja, don't know how to make them better... All actions made against DEI has it's DC raised by 10 next turn due to your people having sweet ninja skills.

The Pirate-Inator
- Tobe thinks he soooo cool with ninja magic, well you'll show him a thing or two about that. Now with your Pirate-Inator you can transform somebody into a pirate captain, complete with crew, to teach those Vagabond Ninjas a lesson they won't forget! Tobe and the Vagabond Ninja loose an action next turn while they're dealing with their most hated enemies, pirates.

Sooo interludes left:

Plan B (Monogram, Jumba)
Malf's Castle Moving (Robby)
Fredzilla meets Agent Unknown (Russ, Max)
Speech of the Devil (Tom)
The First Day of Christmas (Janna, Doof)

And maybe:

"The Twelfth Night"

Thought given that the Twelfth Night of Christmas happens in January it's quite possible we will have this next turn instead of this one.
 
...you know, the thread wasn't impressed with Tobe, at first. And understandably so! Until very recently (this latest interlude, as a matter of fact), his statline and traits weren't exactly...stellar? Above average in some areas, sure, but nothing that we didn't already have.

But he's dropped into our lives, nevertheless. As though from the sky. And in doing so, he's managed to worm his way into likability, and, dare I say it, competence. I suppose that's the ninja tricksiness again, scaling the walls of our metaphorical fortress to land in our awareness.

And he accomplished it through the power of ninja magic, and, more notably, the power of romantic affection, despite what Doofenschmirtz and Jumba might have had to say about the concept.

I guess, putting it all together ... you could call Tobe ...














A ninja of love, rappelling down from above,
Who snuck his way right into our heart~

This is unironically why quests are my favourite type of fanfiction. Sometimes someone completely unexpected gets to become a fan favourite.

If this was a fanfic Vanessa, Phineas and Ferb would be major players while Tobe, Janna and Lizzy would be write off extras. The first would be fun sure but this is far more beautiful.

like Hego Bueno Nacho!
 
Huh.

Well, plus side of the magic masquerade busting open: we could make a killing off of selling ninja transformation as a form of hormone therapy.

god i wish that were me
Ninja HRT: now with cool ninja magic to protect you from certain categories of people.
I know I'd be willing to work at DEI for that.
