"Let's hope this doesn't end too quickly..." Lambdadelta snickered under her breath. She took to sitting on the back of Bern's armchair and let a bucket of popcorn materialise in her hands. "Time for a snack break!"
"Do you ever go five minutes without eating junk?" Bern said while propping her head up with her elbow on the armrest.
"Do YOU ever go a day without drinking alcohol? Didn't think so!"
================
There was a long silence that stayed after Kassava goaded Waldo into coming out. For several moments, the area stayed dead quiet and no movement was seen. As the chatter lingered, all manner of voice was cut off by sharp gales of wind that blew in a cyclone around the area, effectively forming a wind tunnel that closed off the fighters to anyone beyond the clearing.

"So you are one of the signatures I sensed when the Librarian lost all manner of control..." A great voice boomed loudly over everyone else, echoing all around the wind tunnel. The sky darkened with black clouds that overcast the area in shadow, with a lone lightning bolt striking the ground before Kassava. When the smoke and debris cleared, out stepped a tall figure wearing striped clothing and a stiff smile on his spectacled features.
"I lost my favorite mug that kept anything in it piping-hot the way I like it... a self-stirring cup at that." His mouth did not move as he spoke in his booming voice, meaning he was using telepathy to communicate instead. He stared Kassava down with the smile plastered menacingly on his face, not moving a muscle until his eyes lowered to the object in her hands. For the time being, it appeared he wasn't aware of the others within the vicinity... or perhaps he just didn't care. Then his eyes narrowed.
"But something tells me you are not here to return it to me. Much less a fake, eh, tiny destroyer?"

- Autowounding and single-player chain combos are not allowed: there is one turn per character. Chains of attacks/action can be carried out between different players.
- The only characters who can attack Waldo are the ones who won rock-paper-scissors. Benched characters can only be called in one at a time to make their attack for a duration of 10 posts among all players (5 minutes in-universe) before returning to the bench for the rest of the battle.
- Interference from a benched character beyond a summons by one of the active fighters will result in failing the Trial.
