SPIT ==> ZIPS
I SPIT on the Meatball Surprise and mix it up into a SPIT mash, before placing several ZIPS on it so it never talks again, ever!

ZIPS ==> ZITS
I undo the ZIPS on the mask I've clearly been wearing the whole time to reveal really bad ZITS all over my face in hopes of making the spicy meatball surprise reel in horror.
((Also, , melonlord it looks like you missed Trickle's attack in your last post. Did you forget it, or did you simply not consider it a valid attack?))

((Also, , melonlord it looks like you missed Trickle's attack in your last post. Did you forget it, or did you simply not consider it a valid attack?)) I didn't forget; his attack is first on the list, actually. He posted two attacks, though, so I only took his first one.

ZITS ==> HITS
I forcefully insert earplugs into the Meatball Surprise's ears and force it to listen to all of Justin Bieber's HITS.

PITS ==> LIPS
I show the meatball surprise my PITS, which gross him out, then he tastes it, which makes him lose his LIPS.

[Apologies for the late update. It's a bigger one, and I was rather distracted by the 10/25 stuff.] SPIT ==> ZIPS I SPIT on the Meatball Surprise and mix it up into a SPIT mash, before placing several ZIPS on it so it never talks again, ever! Tricklejest mixes a frankly unrealistic amount of SPIT into the meatball surprise, breaking down the meat and weakening it considerably! He follows it up by slapping a number of ZIPpers on the monster's various gooey orifices, keeping it from talking. Er, roaring? Burbling? Whatever the hell that off-putting noise was. 75 damage dealt! ZIPS ==> ZITS I undo the ZIPS on the mask I've clearly been wearing the whole time to reveal really bad ZITS all over my face in hopes of making the spicy meatball surprise reel in horror. A horror sting plays as silly conformist dramatically reveals a plethora of disgusting ZITS on his face! The meatball surprise lets out a muffled scream through the zippers on his face. 55 damage dealt! ZITS ==> HITS I forcefully insert earplugs into the Meatball Surprise's ears and force it to listen to all of Justin Bieber's HITS. The monster can only scream in agony as the utter torment of "Baby" on full blast is pumped through his ear...things. 20 damage dealt! HITS ==> PITS With a few well timed HITS, I push him dowm one of the PITS around the area. Unleashing a flurry of kicks and punches, The One Guy knocks the beast down one of the many holes conveniently scattered around the area! The beast roars as he falls down the pit in slow-motion, securing the 300 reference. 55 damage dealt! PITS ==> LIPS I show the meatball surprise my PITS, which gross him out, then he tastes it, which makes him lose his LIPS. Spookysailor jumps down the pit after the creature, unveiling the the terrifying sight of his armpits as he falls! He then shoves them in the meatball surprise's face before it has any time to react! Already woozy from the previous gross-outs (and also from being pushed down a pit), and with his physical form being disintigrated by saliva, the creatures lips wither and fall right off (along with the zipper), leaving only a hole where his mouth once was! If this were an rpg, everyone would probably be rolling for intestinal fortitude. 60 damage dealt! LIPS ==> PILL Since the meat monster has no LIPS, I shove a cyanide PILL into its mouth. Taking advantage of his weakness, Con Air tosses a cyanide pill into the stunned monster's gaping maw. 60 damage dealt! His roars and screeches dying to whines and gurgles, the Spicy Meatball Surprise begins to lose definition as the poison floods his system. He tries to hold he form together, but is clearly losing, his blobby body dissolving into more of a puddle. The monster lets out one last strangled cry as he melts, something that sounds almost like a.... "Mama mia"? You've finally dealt with the beast! Now you ca.._--.";-. What's this? Something is happening! You feel a sudden surge of power course through you. MAGIC unlocked! WORD ALCHEMY unlocked! 2X SCRAMBLE unlocked!
----------- MAGIC: Each player now has a MANA POOL. Everyone starts off at 1 point, and more can be earned in various ways. Mana can be spent on various abilities later. WORD ALCHEMY: You can now perform basic word alchemy by combining the two previous words, changing one letter, then creating a 5-letter word from the combined selection of letters. Example: Player 1: Cart => Part Player 2: Uses word alchemy. They now have the letter pool "C, R, T, A, P" to work with. ("Cart" has a C, "Part" has a P, and they both have A, R, and T.) They change "P" to "E", then make the word "CRATE". Each letter in the mix can only be used once. You aren't adding the two words together, you're looking at all the different letters they have between them. "TAROT", for example, would not have been a valid word, as "T" can only be used once, unless you decide to change one of the other letters into a T. "APART", on the other hand, would be fine, as you can change "C" for an "A". ("CRTAP" => "ARTAP"). Tl;dr, you are NOT adding the letters of both words together, you are taking the letters they have between them. The letter pool you get initially will not have doubles in it at this stage*.
After a player uses alchemy, the next player (for now) has the option of continuing with another 5-letter word, or going back down to 4 letters. Example: Player 2: Cart <=> Part = Crate Player 3: Can continue with 5 (Eater), or go back down to 4 (Late) For now, word alchemy cannot be used with 5-letter words.Alchemized words carry a high bonus, ( *) and 5-letter words created afterwards will do slightly more damage than 4-letter ones. For now, critical hits cannot be used with alchemy. (I mean, you can use one of the previous words if you want, but it will carry no extra bonus beyond the alchemy bonus.) Alchemy may have other uses later, but for now it simply gives you 1 mana when used. *EDIT: The exception is if one of the words used already has double letters in it. For example, POOL <=> LOPE would yield the letter pool "P O O L E", which could be used to make the valid word "LOOSE". 2X SCRAMBLE: Ability. Allows you to change 2 letters on your turn, instead of just one. Can be used once per turn. Cost: 3 mana. Use wisely. -------------- As you are celebrating your victory over the meat monster, a wild ADAM SANDLER appears! He looks testy, and ready to fight! And he seems to have some tricks up his sleeve... EnemiesADAM SANDLER: 1500/1500 HP Sandler is preparing something...

2X SCRAMBLE: Allows you to change 2 letters on your turn, instead of just one. Can be used once per turn. Cost: 3 mana. Previous word: LIPS Current word: PILL [Note: I know the alchemy thing is a bit complex, so I'm putting up up a poll asking about it.

LIPS + PILL ==> SHILL
Seeing the effectiveness of cyanide PILLs, I attempt to SHILL one off to Adam Sandler, claiming that it is a magical pill that will make him even better at acting than he already is.
((I like how alchemy looks as well. And yes, I do realize that this attack won't be critical, but the pill still fit nicely into it.))

((I like how alchemy looks as well. And yes, I do realize that this attack won't be critical, but the pill still fit nicely into it.)) For now, word alchemy cannot be used on words with double letters (TART, POOL, etc.). [OOC: I'll let you re-do that attack, though. And admittedly, that rule's only in there because I figured double letters would just make things too confusing too early, and I was planning on lifting it later anyway. If everyone's already got a handle on it, though, I can go ahead and lift it. Depends on how the poll turns out, I suppose.]

Alright, now that the double letter rule is out...
I create the word PILL <=> SHILL = LISPS
Am I doing that right? I call out to the king of LISPS, and Sollux fires a giant beam at Sandler!

[Well, the rule's not out yet. I'm waiting for more people so I can get a consensus, and if enough people agree it should go, it goes. Not yet, though. So at the moment, sillyconformist's attack isn't valid. Also, you cannot use alchemy on 5-letter words, as ADVANCED ALCHEMY has not been unlocked yet. You can create a new 5-letter word by changing one letter of the previous word, (STALE => SHALE, for instance) or go back down to a 4-letter word (STALE => HALE)]

[ I think you tried to change two letters there, as FLAIL contains both an A and an extra L. Putting FLIP and FOIL together only gives you "F L O I P" to work with, so FLAIL would be invalid. You can edit your attack if you change it before the next person posts, though. ]

Alright, time for me to strike!
FLIP <=> FOIL = PILOT
I grab a piece of arcane FOIL, it has nothing on the front. However, if I FLIP my piece of FOIL and read what it says, a select person will be summoned... "REVERO TURPEL INCANTATUM!"
I summon P, aka the Pilot from DLE! (Tell me if summoning isn't a thing in this game, okay?) "THIS WILL BE FUN."
