As the other names rang out, the lamp monster skidded to a stop, trying to remember something- right before Lance punched him square in the spout. Staggering backwards and swearing under his breath, the creature gripped his nose and winced. SNAKE, he could handle. But there were now multiple dudes in spandex. Enough to form a five man team. Well, that was starting to sound like a fight he couldn't cheat his way through, and that just wasn't fair.

"Alright, this shindig's getting a little crowded. Later, assholes!"

OKAY: SMOKE!

The lamp monster dissolved, floating away in wisps of smoke towards the road below. Meanwhile, what paper men weren't destroyed or already occupied began rushing those still present. Those engaged with MERCH began moving to surround him, screeching to each other- though it seemed the punches and kicks were enough to stagger them. Those facing DEITY tried a different tactic, picking up heavy quarry stones and throwing them, obviously afraid to get in close. BURST's foes kept trying to duck the attacks and grab his legs.

Meanwhile, down at the road, smoke with glowing yellow eyes floated among the exhaust. Slipping in and out of open windows, through the air conditioning, he looked around like a weasel stalking its prey.

Okay, okay. I can't beat them fair. But the rules don't say anything about EFFORT. I can just snipe the kills, right? Right.

The smoke floated into a new vehicle. A trucker sat in his cab, windows rolled down and smoking a cigarette, didn't seem to notice as the exhaust coming in the window floated to the top of his cab and stared down. Already, he was late with his delivery. Laying into the horn, he shouted in exasperation as he gesticulated angrily at traffic.

"Uuuuugh! Come the fuck on! I wish these fucking cars would just move already!"

"MEEEEYEEEEHEHEHEHESSSSS!"

The smoke at the cab's roof returned to its form as a lamp monster, cackling as the truck driver yelled and scrambled out of the cab, trying to get as far away as possible. The lamp monster shrugged.

"Well that was rude! Nonetheless, O Random Asshole, your wish is my command!"

OKAY- GENIE!

Smoke emitted from GENIE's nose, forming letters as it floated into the radio- T-R-U-C-K. The tractor-trailer began shaking as GENIE jumped out the passenger's side, watching the truck twist, contort, and shrink. The trailer became two shinguards. Headlights stretched to form eyes in proportion to the enormous head-torso formed by the grill as the exhaust pipes on either side became chrome arms.

"Breaker breaker, big wheel! I'll shake the trees, you dodge the leaves!"

With that, the truck monster blared its horn and began walking steadily towards the car in front of him, panicked drivers already fleeing as he lifted the empty car and tossed it to the side of the road. GENIE clapped for a moment before turning back to smoke and drifting away.

"Aaaand 10-42 on the road leading by the quarry! But that's what you get fer stackin' yer rollerskates!"
Fussing over his appearance- making sure his horns were appropriately clean, trying to make sure he wouldn't track water in, and most importantly making sure no fish were still biting him- Haruki followed Harvey. He leaned down and whispered to the fish.

"So, royalty's usually busy. We're expecting a wait of, what 20, 30 minutes? You think we'll be "detained"?"

Louder enough for the koopas to hear, he continued.

"...and remember, the smaller fork's for salads. If they have chopsticks, don't put them straight up and down or cross them, that's bad luck..."
I've been busy with classes and work. I'll get on a post tomorrow.
Well, my current idea is a stand-using parrot named Freebird who was owned by the leader of a Mexican drug cartel. Ended up going with a stand that absorbs sounds to be played back later, either individually or as cacophonous blasts.
Haruki didn't even notice the cheep cheeps chewing on him- no matter how many came. Such predatory fish were a dime a dozen on Valky, which led the fish-eating Valkians to develop thick skin. And the Valkians were no slouches in endurance- there were wild animals on their homeworld which could survive re-entry. It didn't really matter anyway- in less than ten seconds, Haruki had swam the entirety of the fifty feet and was walking onto the opposite shore, fish nibbling uselessly at him.

So I've got a question: are animal stand users allowed, and does "amplification of vibrations the user makes" work as a stand power?
I saw the title. Seek professional help.
In a strange world, it's best to have friends to count on. Haruki learned that on Earth when Nakuri found him, alone and destitute. It wasn't something they really taught to children on Valky. But now, he wasn't even on Earth. He didn't think Harvey was in Olathe either. Or, if it was some kind of fishman planet like Booze, Keel, or Tepeto, ON it. Regardless, it'd do them both good to stick together- especially if some slip of etiquette lead to these turtles turning on them. Haruki gave a thumbs up to the lawyer and nodded, whispering back.

"It's me and you against the world, Harvey!"

Unphased at the modest lake, Haruki began tying his gear together and jumped in. A former fisherman wasn't afraid of swimming a few times his own body length- especially not in waters this clear.

"I got nothing to worry about! I was swimming in monster-infested oceans before I could walk!"

@Scrapula@BringBack1996
Haruki looked down at himself, then Harvey, then the turtle men, then the castle. Something was readily apparent. He didn't have his fancy dress cloak or anything!

"Well, I'm not exactly dressed to meet royalty, but alright."
