Good Doctor Zomnker (This must be Tuesday," said GDZ to himself, sinking low over his Dr. Pepper, "I never could get the hang of Tuesdays.")

What the???

*Draws his sword and prepares for battle*

*Shoots up into the air and does a few happy circles above everyone's heads*

Oh, thank you, lady!

*Stops dead when he sees the lobster treachery. Then zooms down at the one in front of Lil's face and directs a small concentrated ink stream at it, being very careful with his aim so that none would hit Lil.*

Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence

*Lil's etui has a loop handle which is over her left wrist, so when the lobster tries to grab it he pulls Lil sideways and the ink-lobster combination at her face misses her entirely*
*Lil uses the force exerted by the lobster to throw a proper haymaker with her right fist*

Why, you little smiley - bleep! Unhand my purse!

*seeing the attack, the cabbie immediately takes himself and his passenger higher to a vantage point in the coral branches, and calls the dispatcher*

Dispatch, yo, dispatch, Seahorse 42 reporting attempted t'eft and assault at Coral Corners! Call da cops.

Young Lobster

*a lobster flicks upward and lands on GDZ's back* Donde esta botón anaranjado? How do we deflate them?

*two lobsters head for Mr. D and circle warily at knee level. One shouts* No se! They're warmbloods, idiota!

*Of the two lobsters that attacked Lil, one now has a head covered in ink. Wailing, he drops to the sand floor and crawls off, wringing his eye stalks and visibly shrinking*

*Segovia is visibly shaken up by the haymaker but hangs on to the etui* Dejado vaya senora, let it go or I hurt you bad.

*two more lobsters rush at B4 and attack him from either side, while others press the attack on the rest of the warmbloods who don't post so much and so can't be easily accounted for* smiley - silly

*the lobster attacking Yar feints at an ankle then leaps upward* I have been observing you, hidalgo. Make ready to be bested!

Mr. Dreadful - But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am...

*Mr. D brings the claymore up to his shoulder, and using his right hand as a pivot lets the blade drop before using his left hand to steer it into a graceful arc, intended to bring the blade up underneath one of the lobsters. For the time being he is taking care to use the flat of the blade.*

I can't remember what that move is actually called, but it's brilliant if your opponent is expecting a strike starting at shoulder height to come from above or the side...

[Yar presses a button on his gauntlet-computer. A panel slides shut, hiding the computer, and the other gauntlet and a matching set of greaves appear on his other hand and feet. His ankles and shins are now protected by impenetrable-to-anything-except-plot metal.]

[Yar] Okay, then I won't try to use any of the same tricks I tried before.

[He swings his leg up and attempts to simply punt the lobster away.]

*Feeling the extra weight on his back and the Spanish spoken close to his ear, engages the quick release on his pack, dropping it and his assaulting lobster to the ground.*

I don't speak much Spanish but I heard something about an Orange Button!

*The lobster and GDZ's pack fall to the floor, lobster first. The pack bounces off the lobster and lands a couple of feet away, and the lobster scrambles up and raises his claws over his head in triumph* Ha! Mira, Alfredo, I deflated him! *does a little dance, completely unaware of GDZ still standing behind him*

*the flat of Mr. D's sword catches a lobster square and sends him flying like cricket bat meeting whiffle ball. At the same moment the other lobster leaps inside Mr. D's guard and grabs hold of his waistcoat* Ah, real brocade? I must have a sample. *attempts to shear off a slice of the material from the bottom*

*the lobster attacking Yar vaults off the instep of his boot and somersaults over his head to land on the back of his neck* I am disappointed. I expected better from you. *moves his claws around Yar's nape, looking for the inflation stopper, which probably feels like finishing touches to a haircut* I am called Reginaldo Francesco Garibaldi de Coradenada y Peligrosa. If your fighting style improves, you may call me Dondi.

*meanwhile, a lobster has thrown itself at the back of Affi's left knee and begins to climb upward*

Not a chance currently of finding time or energy to play this properly - will gebtly withdraw

*SG V slowly plods back towards the linen closet and disappears back into normality*

*With an audible SNIP a section of the waistcoat-cum-tacvest falls away.*

Brocade? Good God, man! That's Harris Tweed!

*Mr. D makes a grab for the lobster.*

[Yar] smiley - rolleyes Yeah, sorry I'm not a more interesting combatant, Reg, I haven't fought inflatable lobsters before, nor have I actually gotten a chance to actually use these much so I'm still getting used to them.

[He attempts to psychically locate the lobster's own inflation-zipper and telekinetically unplug it.]

*Overhears Segovia's threat to Lil. Considers an ink attack, but doesn't want to risk hitting Lil. Has a sudden idea and flies off back to where the previous battle was. Returns with a trident in his tentacles and flies straight at Segovia, trident in front.*

Did GDZ use flat or edge of sword? Or point? *the lobster slashes at the backpack, still unaware of GDZ* Ha! You warmbloods are too easy to beat. I shall hang this trophy on our clubhouse wall. With my name on it.

[lobster on Mr. D's vest] Harris tweed? Senor, you have no taste! Ow! Those are my gills, let go! *releases the vest and tries to pull away*

[Reginaldo Francesco Garibaldi de Coradenada y Peligrosa] *feels an odd sensation in the vicinity of his own stopper and flicks away. As he comes around to hover in front of Yar, he shakes a claw, and out slides a regulation-length epee with a very sharp tip* You think I am like those other barbarians? Prepare to be educated. En garde! *salutes and lunges for Yar's face*

*two lobsters that were stalking Santra look momentarily confused then turn and spy Todaymueller. They lunge at him, claws open wide*

Let's say I was trying for a slice with the blade but that, gaming physics being what they are, anything could happen. smiley - smiley

*still off-balance from Segovia tugging at her purse, Lil hauls back, hoping the wrist thong will hold. Then she whiplashes out, hoping to fling the lobster away by centrifugal force*

Hurt me bad, will you? Nasty little gangster, I'll have you know I respond very adversely to threats!

*out of the corner of her eye she sees the squid bearing down and makes Segovia work to keep hold of the etui by windmilling her arm* You and your treacherous friends all deserve to be thrown in a barrel of water and brought to a boil!

[Yar swings his hand to deflect the attack and attempts to grab Reginaldo Francesco Garibaldi de Coradenada y Peligrosa's regulation-length epee with a very sharp tip by the blade, and uses telekinesis to try to hold Reginaldo Francesco Garibaldi de Coradenada y Peligrosa in place to make this easier, as well as putting up a psychic "wall" to prevent any part of Reginaldo Francesco Garibaldi de Coradenada y Peligrosa (including the regulation-length epee with a very sharp tip) from getting too close.]

[conversationally] Ehhh, I'll be frank, I'm pretty much just making this up as I go along, I'm just throwing "fightin'" at the wall to see what sticks.

*Reginaldo Francesco Garibaldi de Coradenada y Peligrosa's eyestalks bend into a frown as his epee suddenly forms a bow as it meets Yar's psychic wall, but this bowing prevents Yar from actually getting hold of the epee (with the very sharp tip). He tries a few zorro slashes and meets the wall each time* Hokay. Call me Dondi.

*GDZ's attacker happens to look up and around just as the sword begins to descend* Que? *He starts to back away but the sword slashes away all his legs on the starboard side. Immediately, he begins to forcefully deflate and flies away in backward circles*

*Segovia is flung back and forth by Lil's arm, but clings like a pit bull*

minichessemouse - Ahoy there me barnacle!

*to seahorse cabs*

"What should we do?"

*looks around*

"I have my programmable arrow and I managed to get some stripes from the non acidic components of the squid ink, I think it will home in on it's target, I just need to set it up, might be an idea to get a clear line of sight to segovia huh?"
