>LAST TIME

"Hang in there, lad!!" Lockstock clambers clumsily up a dune, kneeling next to the figure sprawled in the sand- a fellow dwarf, wearing the uniform of a- a scout, perhaps from the southern mountains? "Bloody hell, what are you doing all the way out /here/?" he growls, unclipping a flask from his belt and holding it out. "Drink this-"

The unfamiliar dwarf feebly pushes the flask away. "W-Water..."

THAT cuts off Lockstock's admonishment about being picky with alcohol before he could even voice it, and it certainly stops him from wondering why the hell this newcomer isn't busy screaming at the gigantic flocks of birds and skeletons running around the place. "What happened to you, lad?" the miner murmurs, unclipping a different flask, a smaller one used only in emergencies.

"E-Escaped," the scout manages to say after a few greedy gulps of water. "It's over. I-It's all over, sir. It's..."

"The bloody humans, isn't it?" Lockstock growls. "I KNEW it. Those greedy southbound fools of dwarves- no bloody way we coulda kept the humans down, that damn strategy of underminin' their capitals was too big to catch all the leaders-"

"N-No, that's not... not it. It's..." The scout's face crumples at the memory. "T-The dwarven kingdoms, s-sir. They're... they're /gone/."

"Gone? What do you-"

The scout snaps, grabbing Lockstock's sleeves and finally working out the courage to scream it out all in one go. "I don't know HOW, sir, but the dwarven kingdoms- they've fallen! W-Wiped out! Erased! Like... like they've never existed in the first place!!"

Celicia shifts uncomfortably as she watches Lockstock and the other dwarf, distraught over some conversation that she didn't manage to hear from all the way back here, bellow their vows of vengeance and rage to the uncaring sky. Between their triumph over an entire army, that army's cheating demon-and-home-possessing prophet, and everything in between... yeah, it's a lot to take in at once.

It doesn't help that she's just finished bending reality just as badly as an ogre normally does. Now that the adrenaline of battle has worn off, she's completely and utterly beat.

She turns and glances up at the broken body of Ogir Place, still looming high above them even while flat on its back. Massive craters pockmark the oasis-golem's "face," and its weapons appear to be offline. Even Daphnaia, the elven tree/barracks/dormitory that was teleported onto Ruoumoko's head (and is now returned to Ogir Place), lists alarmingly to the side. The lack of demonfire coursing through the oasis-golem's body makes it seem dull and darkened.

If Ogir Place is going to be fixed up anytime soon, the ogres (and the elves) are really going to have their work cut out for them.

Celicia sighs. Well, at least it's not going to be ALL her problem. A repair effort of this scale will probably require the reality-bending efforts of someone like Boss Bawss Fistboss, who-

A sudden thought occurs to her. Celicia glances over at the Scaratone Queen, who's shifting from foot to foot and looking mildly uncomfortable. "... has- has anyone actually SEEN Boss Bawss in the past half hour?" the elf asks, her gaze troubled.

Boss Bawss Fistboss floats through the nether. He sees nothing, hears nothing, and feels nothing but a desolate coldness all the way down to the marrow of his bones. He can't move his limbs- he isn't even sure they still exist- and he certainly doesn't know if he could move anywhere, even if he still has them.

... Boss Bawss Fistboss is also slightly hungry and somewhat bored.

Seconds, years, or eons pass. He's not sure which. And then he hears a muffled voice- something like a low raspy chuckle- and now someone's pulling at him, towing him through the nether like a fish at the end of a line.

Boss Bawss studies this strange feeling for a little while longer, focusing with the only sense he has left. It's impossible to gauge where he's being pulled to, or even how he's being pulled. There IS a sense of increasing... /sensation/, for lack of a better phrase. Like he's slowly regaining bits and pieces of himself, the farther in he's being towed.

Of course, there IS that raspy chuckle to consider. If someone's there, then it's only good manners to introduce himself, isn't it?

Breathing in with technically non-existing lungs, Boss Bawss Fistboss clears his technically non-existent throat. "IS ANYONE THERE?" he calls out.

"WHAT THE HOLY SHIT," the muffled voice shrieks back, immediately dropping the larger ogre like he was on fire. Boss Bawss Fistboss is set adrift once more.

Seconds, years, and/or eons pass again.

There's a tug, and the towing sensation resumes with increased haste. There's no raspy chuckle this time, though. Boss Bawss waits patiently, his sense of self gradually returning in bits and pieces. Shapes resolve themselves, color drains back into his sight, the muffled feeling leaves his hearing, and a whole host of tactile sensations resolve themselves-

- like the fact that Boss Bawss Fistboss just landed heavily in water and soggy mud.

The larger ogre picks himself back up, only to be stopped by the sight of a blade a few inches from his eye. And then the raspy voice pipes up from somewhere above him.

"Stop. Slowly, now, and keep your hands where we can see 'em."

Boss Bawss Fistboss blinks, glancing up past the blade into a reptilian face.

In that order.

>>25404767
Come to think of it...

Elves usually keep to themselves, but they're relatively friendly with the ogres. They're starting to thaw around the scaratones, but they tolerate the patchwings (won't seek them out), and generally avoid the skeletons if they can.

tl;dr They probably have to be made to, yeah.

>>25404814

>>25404841
They sound less like /b/ and more like occasionally coherent dissociated press.

>>25404814
Seems like a good order.

>>25404856
>Why do I get the feeling you are going to use this opportunity to make the first two headed ogre?

Or perhaps Bawss already is two-headed, and this is the second head expressing itself internally.

[Diplomances internally.]

>>25404820
Because they're loud, raucous, and look rather bestial, so elves kind of side-eye them and their screeching.

... soooo it's like their initial impression of ogres, except somewhat worse.

Slowly, making sure his hands are opened palms-up, Boss Bawss gets to his feet without making any threatening moves. And he finally gets a good look at the people surrounding him.

... the little lizard-y guys around him barely reach his knees, but there ARE about ten of them, and they DO have weapons, though they're a motley array of blades and strange metal tube- /guns/. And they ARE giving him the stink-eye.

Boss Bawss licks his lips. "... hi? Hey, you guys, I'm not-"

One of the lizard-y guys jabs at him with the tip of a blade. "None of that, now. We'll be asking the questions here-"

"Nah, nah, it's cool," Boss Bawss soothes, keeping the palms of his hands facing forward. "I ain't armed, 'cept for my actual arms. I ain't hidin' any weapons or nuffin', either. See?"

The lizard-y guy in front of him lowers his blade by a fraction. "... true. You ARE naked except for a loincloth and a strange growth on your head."

"This? This is my hat."

There's a pause.

"... you can't be serious," the lizard-y guy says after a moment. "How's it even-" He shakes his head. "If we weren't already going to bring you to the Overseer for being an actual LIVING piece of dimensional flotsam, we'd have to bring you to him just for that /thing/ alone," he mutters. "Come on. This way."

The group of lizard-people form up around Boss Bawss and begin slogging through the waters, leaving the ogre no choice but to be escorted. He takes a moment to glance around, seeing nothing but swampland, waterlogged plants, and shallow water no matter where he looks. There's a rocky ceiling up above, covered with conveniently glowing moss, which means that this is a cavern of some sort. Other than that, though, there's not much of any clue.

(Cont.)

>>25405430
Boss Bawss refocuses on the lizard-men around him. "So! Who're you guys, then?"

"We're kobolds," one of the lizard-men pipes up, despite a warning glance from the leader of the group. "And you're an outsider, right? One of the 'uncivilized' races, like us? How did you end up in the-"

"Ss'rak," the leader snaps. "No fraternizing with prisoners! Seriously!"

The garrulous kobold wilts slightly, biting back on whatever else he was going to say, before bobbing his head. "Yessir. Apologies, sir-"

"No, no, there's no need for that."

At that raspy voice, the entire group stops in its tracks and snaps to attention; a paler, older-looking lizard-y guy shambles out from the plants before them, his walking stick probing the mud with every step.

"At ease, gentlemen. So... an ogre." The elder kobold stops in front of Boss Bawss Fistboss, tapping his cane on the ground. "You are the cause of everything that has happened in recent history. All this chaos, all these opportunities for my people to rise again. And now you fall right into our hands. Just as planned," he adds, saying the last bit as if reciting a mantra.

The kobold grins toothily, revealing fangs that remain sharp despite his age. "... we would like you to join us, and lend your power to our cause of making the 'uncivilized' races great."

Boss Bawss furrows his brow. "Wait, hold on a tic. Whaddaya mean by 'uncivilized'?"

"Nothing bad, I assure you," the elder kobold replies smoothly. "Note the apostrophes. That's just what the others call us. You know- the humans, the elves, the dwarves. Those who look down on us for being 'monstrous', those who think they have the right to do whatever they want to /us/." The kobold glares out at nothing for a moment.

This is, of course, when Boss Bawss decides to interject. "Nah, nah- see, us ogres, we're trying out dis 'civilized' thing, an' it's working out real good!" The larger ogre starts counting off his fingers. "We already got us a city, a buncha awesome bug people, some vulture people, lotsa skellingtons, an' even a small horde of elves who decided to join us because they're tired of telling cow poop to their leaders!"

There's a thoughtful silence as everyone not Boss Bawss digests this new information.

"... fascinating," the elder kobold murmurs. "And in so doing, you twisted reality so much that it... it caused ripples in the space between dimensions.

"You might think you have achieved civilization, ogre, and I am happy for you and your people. We all are. But..." he points his walking stick at Boss Bawss, the dramatic effect rather ruined by the frog clinging desperately to its end. "Do you honestly think the dominant races would see it like that? Would the humans, the elves, and the dwarves- would their leaders see you as a people in and of yourselves?"

The elder kobold flicks his walking stick to the side, sending the frog flying off into the water, before slamming the stick down into the mud. "No. They would destroy you as they destroyed us, perhaps after they take everything of value and interest from your people. This is why I ask, ogre, for you to help us end them before they end us. It's as much for your sake as it is for our vengeance."

We're not going to *give* him the hat. We're going to use him as a hatstand for a minute while thinking, and then take it back. And then, with the leader now enamored of hats having tried one, he'll be all the more inclined to want one of his own.

>[X] Some really awesome write-ins

Boss Bawss Fistboss ponders what he's just been told, and also on his response, all while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. There's a long, long moment as the kobolds around him await his response with bated breath, every passing second feeling like an hour.

And then the large ogre speaks up, his voice a bass rumble.

"... I dunno 'bout dat. See, everyone we met so far- elves, dorfs, scaratones, an' so on, 'cept for humans 'cause we haven't met 'em yet- they all thought of us as people."

Boss Bawss sweeps his gaze across the kobolds, looking them all in the eye before glancing at the elder kobold. "It sounds like ya got a real rough deal. It ain't right wot happened to you folks- I'm real sorry.

"Still... dat doesn't mean ya gotta krump everyone. I mean, sure, you gotta do it sometimes, but other times, if ya krump someone, they'll krump ya back, and then YOU krump 'em again, and..." The larger ogre shakes his head. "It's only over when there's no one left to krump anyone, an' dat's a real sad shame. You'll just end up bein' no different from the guys who un-right-fully krumped ya in the first place. An' dat's no solution at all."

Boss Bawss pauses. "... 'ere, hold on a sec, I need s'more thinking room in my head." With that, the larger ogre takes off his hat and plops it on the head of one of the kobolds- Ss'rak.

"Now, civilization... it ain't 'bout gettin' other peoples' respect. It ain't about money, or krumpin', or power. It's about gettin' respect for yourselves, about improvin' your people day by day." The larger ogre looks back up, thumping a fist into his chest. "I made Ogir Place. We're civilized, an' if anyone says we ain't and tries to punch us back into the dirt, we're just gonna get back up. If they try to take our stuff, we're gonna take it back. We got a place to call home."

(Cont.)

>>25407880
"... we had homes," the elder kobold hisses, a trifle testily. "Many homes. Clans all over the world, all over the place... and there are only so many times that we could get back up. Each clan, snuffed out one by one-"

"Civilization also means dat we're all in it together." Boss Bawss fires back, crossing his tree trunk-like arms over his chest. "If one part of us is hurtin', we go help our boys, no questions asked. Dat's what it is: the ability to count on each other."

The elder kobold bows his head slightly; at this angle, his eyes are hidden in the shadow of his brow ridge. At his side, the other kobolds glance at each other worriedly, except for Ss'rak, who's too busy trying to adjust Boss Bawss' hat so that it doesn't slide off his head.

"... I'm sorry you feel that way," the elder kobold replies eventually. "Perhaps you have a point, about some of the things we have discussed. Had we someone like you at our helm, back when this all started..." He looks back up, his eyes as hard as flint. "Still, you cannot hope to understand what we have been through. We have come too far now to change our ways. And if that means we have to resort to force to get your cooperation, so be it."

The kobolds shift their stance slightly, their weapons coming to the fore. In response, Boss Bawss Fistboss shifts his footing as best he can in the muddy terrain, his mind racing for something to say.

And then it happens. The fabric of reality, already slightly weaker in this cavern, rips itself a new hole, briefly sucking out all color and energy in a small area around it, a hole that rapidly increases in size-

- and it spits out a short mustachioed humanoid in a top hat, a striped suit, and a bag of temperature-controlled holding. "OKAY! Which one of you guys ordered fifty meatlover's pizzas, thirty cheese-stuffed bread-loaves, and a whole lotta drinks?" he barks out, looking around. "Boss Bawss Fistboss?

"So THAT'S why you suddenly switched places! Veering out of reality like that- I thought I was going to be /late/ for a while there! No worries, friend, that's easy to take care of," the pizza delivery guy chortles, grabbing reality by its shirtfront and gently tearing it yet another asshole. "Hop in, hop in!

And that's when a masterstroke of a plan hits Boss Bawss. "... hey!" he rumbles, turning to look down at the lizard-men. "You guys should come along, too!"

"Why," the elder kobold says distantly, figuring that it's about as good a thing as any to say right now.

"'Cause it's a party, an' you're all invited!" Boss Bawss Fistboss replies, his logic as waterproof as always. "We just beat da dirt outta all of da bad bugs threatening the good bugs with massive killings, so everyone'll be real happy to see you, I bet. C'mon, let's go!"

The pizza guy tips his top hat. "One trip to Terra Incognito, coming right up!" The rip in reality grows larger and larger, light and color and sound all bleeding out of the world as the void seems to consume all the sentient beings in its immediate radius-

- and moments later, Boss Bawss Fistboss lands once more on desert sands, hearing the thump-thump-thump of multiple bodies landing alongside him.

"WHY," the elder kobold repeats, looking more than a little disturbed by his plans getting flipped/turned-upside-down, the other kobolds clustering around him in a defensive formation. The pizza delivery guy shakes out his soaked shoes before plopping the pizza-holding bag on the ground. "Here we are! Is a Queen Kilkkarak here?"

"Yes-yes, that's me!" the Scaratone Queen chitters, slowly making her way across the sand. Next to her, Celicia doesn't even bother staring or looking shocked at the sudden influx of newcomers out of nowhere, instead turning to Boss Bawss. "What took you so long, where were you, and who the hell are these guys?" she grumbles, lighting up her fifth celebratory post-battle cigarette in so many minutes.

"They're the kobolds, an' we're all gonna have a great big pizza party 'cause they dragged me out from between realities I think," Boss Bawss starts to explain. "I'm gonna try to talk 'em down from-"

"YOOOOOU!"

Everyone, even the pizza delivery guy, gives a start as that vengeful, wrath-filled howl echoes across the desert sands. The very embodiment of wrath crests the dune in front of the gathering, a pickaxe clutched in each gloved hand, wild eyes peering out through a beard that has all hairs standing on end.

"/YOU/!!" Lockstock roars again, striding purposefully toward the gathered kobolds, his weapons upraised. "I WILL END YOU ALL, AND DEMAND AN ACCOUNTING FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE LOST DWARVEN KINGDOMS," the dwarf raves. The small group of kobolds turn to face this new threat- the front row hefts their weapons, while the kobolds in the back row immediately drop their clawed hands immediately toward their pockets, and the elder kobold starts chanting something in another tongue.

Boss Bawss Fistboss scratches his head. Perhaps... perhaps he should have thought this through a little more.
