The Boogies decision #91

You know what to do.

I'm at an impasse here. If we let her go, she'll just come back stronger like she has every single time before. However, if we let Jingle keep touching her, she could get goop'd (sure Cass could un-goop Jingle, but in that small moment, she could make Jingle into some kind of meat-shield). Both options however don't seem like it's possible for a game over right now. We either allow for a stronger fight later, or knock one (or both if the shield prediction comes true) out. I think I'm going for knocking out to make things easier later. If Jingle gets knocked out too, we can just leave her in the safety of the ship. P.S. I'm assuming "strike" is a KO and not a kill since as far as I'm aware, there haven't been any "death" deaths in this series, only KOs and avoidances (unless I'm forgetting something)...plus, Cass doesn't seem like the killer type.

BTW, how high are the chances for a " this isen't even my final form" moment?

Back to say...slug her one! She's earned it and I don't want to waste Jingle's effort.

# # Poll Rhyme And so we take, the upper hand We have her mount, a prize most grand At this point she got us, not once or twice Pod, pool and pleasure, yes, she got us thrice We might get a life, if we show mercy Or invite loss, and controversy? Otherwise, I understand the pain And with mercy, so much to gain Do it for Jingle, and the life to be gotten To sink to her level, are we that rotten? That being said, She left us for dead Is Jingle's deal Really our spiel? While I'd prefer, not to be violent Leah talks too much, and we need to be silent. Besides, she said it plain and clear Nobody leaves, she's plenty to fear As an aside, I doubt Charles will fit Our ship's not big, it'd be tightknit. # # Bonus Rhymes for no reason! "Please sit still, and listen to me So Cass can show you, the WWE" *Cassandra delivers a big suplex* "You gullible dog, you thought I was sappy You don't even know, your fake rhymes were crappy I lay down the rhyme, she delivers the strike Cass breaks your spine, and I drop the mic!" *Jingle prompted by Cass or Leah* "Oh those marshmallows, they're so soft and creamy I imagine the cuddles, are nothing but dreamy We're both bright white And full of delight If I join, please don't come free me."

Hooooping this is like... within three choices of the ending, I don't think I can handle this stress much longer D:!

All hands, prepare for the biggest backhand slap of all time

Okay, bringing up something people aren’t talking about: Me thinks Jingle wants us to end this, considering she is blaming herself for Patient-0 (Leah) for becoming the monster she is. I think that is tying all the way back 10 months ago where we (Cassandra) where sent to find a missing agent

I CAST FIST!

Charles use FIST

I'm certain that Leah has a similar flaw with her ability to control boogies as Cass' suit, both being that they can run out of energy if too much damage is taken. With Jingle holding her still we can take Leah out in a single knockout punch with the help of Charles. And if Jingle does get hurt WE can boogiefy her and control her as a way of safely escorting her to our escape.

Part of me really wants to take the high road and give Leah a chance to leave peacefully, but she has proven to be far too dangerous and untrustworthy. Even in a weakened state, I believe she could still easily sabotage our attempts to leave. The image cues I see suggest that a hulk-sized punch is being readied, and Cass has kept control of her powers, hopefully not leaving anything dangerous behind for Leah to use. I also do not want to waste Jingle's effort at a last-minute (and guilt-ridden?) assist. Unless we think we are about to run out of battery (pun slightly intended), or someone has a reasonable argument as to how Leah could counter, then it's team-up take-down time... (Even if one of the team members is not technically willing. Sorry Charlie!)

Option a- striking her would knock her out and then have all four of them free would be the objective but seeing and jingle is holding onto her and all she would need to do is move leg goop to her head to have it 2v2 again would be the bad part or maybe use jungle as a shield, not so clear cut when you take them all into account Option b- we let her go which could have several events happen where either we have enough time to make it back to the ship before the being comes back with more boogies, or she could attack jingle since see has a grudge against her too In all honesty both options have merits but I think stopping the main boogie being is worth the risk seeing as Charles body is super fast and the being doesn’t have any powers like our suit to stop us

Honestly, I wouldn’t strike right now. Yeah, she totally deserves a good clobbering, but Jingle is still holding onto her!

If this is the one time we would be rewarded for mercy I will be a bit upset

I’ve wanted to punch Leah for a GOOD while now… Let’s not give her a chance to get away again, especially when she's vulnerable! I say, strike!

Think carefully agents, no more lives to loose so study **everything** in the dialog, the art and the causes and effects before choosing your answer

Do you have any idea, any idea! How dangerous she is. Ok so basically, kind of a bitch! She's a queen of boogies! If I was from where she was from, I'd be fucking Controlled! Kick her ass! Shove her in a locker with a radio that only plays Rocket 69 and Flash, Bap, Alakazam! Tldr: give that bitch an ALS ice bath

We have to let them go! The best way to ensure the future is for the best! Is to let them roam free and take over the world! It's the only way!

..... We have to strike. We don't have a choice. Sorry Jingle. If we don't strike, The enemy will take over the boogies again and continue to be a threat... We have shown this agent plenty of mercy and each time they have stabbed us in the back. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

HYPE

Strike now, if we strike we could free them
