waddle over to the screaming while breaking the anti-cycle™ medicine
Sorry, but history is going to have to repeat itself. Going to have to stop working on this just like the original The Deal thread, and go on a hiatus. Can't find the motivation anymore, and I've been getting increasingly less active on Forum Games. I'm done with Forum Games for now. I'd hate to just leave the plot hanging, however, so here's what I had planned. It's not exactly "polished" and probably doesn't make any sense at all, but I've run out of forgets to give:John McClass discovers that he's trapped on the massive floating fortress the lovebots have. He discovers that Gloria the Glorious is turning both his boss and his grandpa into lovebots. Grandpa is able to partially resist the brainwashing and fight it off, but McClass's boss is unable to do so. A fight ensues with McClass's grandfather alternating between helping him (which happens when he temporarily resists the brainwashing) and trying to kill him (when he can't resist the brainwashing), and the boss dies, taking John McClass's job along with him.
While McClass briefly despairs over not having a job anymore, Gloria the Glorious grabs McClass's grandfather and calls forth Robo-Blue Meanie, Uncle Jay, Robo-McClass, and an entire swarm of lovebots before retreating to continue the brainwashing process. An epic battle rages on, resulting in the deaths of Uncle Jay, Robo-McClass, and all of the lovebots accompanying them. Blue Meanie escapes. McClass catches up to Gloria and his grandfather after the battle is over, and McClass is forced to fight his grandfather, who's been brainwashed for the second time. After taking enough of a beating, McClass's grandfather snaps out of it and fights Gloria along with his grandson. During the fight, McClass's grandfather is severely injured while shielding McClass from one of Gloria the Glorious's hideously overpowered attacks.
Gloria the Glorious retreats deeper into her floating fortress to be repaired, and McClass's grandfather is left behind for his own safety. McClass catches up with Gloria the Glorious again and eventually blasts the stuff out of her. In her last dying moments, Gloria the Glorious initiates a self-destruct sequence. McClass quickly looks around for his grandfather but is unable to find him anywhere, and escapes alone. Suddenly, McClass's grandfather shows up again alive and well... But some things are off about him. The discrepancies continue adding up until McClass confronts his own grandfather. Grandpa reveals that he's just a hallucination, and that McClass has been in deep, deep denial over his death after Gloria the Glorious killed him.
Blue Meanie shows up one last time for a duel. McClass kills him. Finally, it is all over. The lovebot revolution has been stopped, but at what cost? Every important character in the thread has been killed off.
TL:DR Everyone (Grandpa included) except John McClass loving dies.
There are a bunch of things that I never got to do with this thread, either. Unfortunately, I never really bothered to write them down, so I've forgotten most of them. Here's what I can remember that didn't make it into the thread:
- John McClass visiting Space Station 13 to deliver a nuclear authentication disc. The station is thrown into chaos when a bunch of traitors start a revolution, and McClass's boss is killed off. John McClass takes over as the new boss of the company. I think this was supposed to be how the thread was originally going to end before the whole "lovebot revolution" thing.
- An encounter with a fellow surviving employee of the company McClass works for.
- Blue Meanie trying to get revenge on John McClass by travelling back in time to kill his grandfather. John McClass grabs onto Blue Meanie's time machine right before he can activate it and fights Blue Meanie. The time machine is accidentally destroyed in the fight, trapping John McClass in the past. To make things worse, a younger version of McClass's grandfather was caught in the crossfire and killed. This time paradox causes a chain of events that result in McClass accidentally becoming his own grandfather, and history is doomed to repeat itself forever.
