Eggscape To Poo Island
Do do that doo-doo that you do so well!
Launched 17 strong after an active MRC, with fuel dumps to the fore as a mission focus. Race numbers for all who did their business during prelaunch. Surprise, everyone is Number Two! They got points, and more points are promised for solid fuel dumps in space.
Dr Claw guided us with despatch through Chelsea and East Boston, by a route of nasty turbulence (though not so nasty as years of yore) past the defunct King Arthur, the 24-hour Dunkie's, and the evergreen Stardust adult emporium. We're still not old enough to go in there.
We caught a pilot Dozerfish, and chalked up Sidekick's outpost.
Then we went to the eggs, sublime and megalithic as always. When will they open a restaurant on the top of one? Does no one else feel the irony of the many nearby porta-potties? Lots of cool breezes, wind turbines going round like a huge subsonic weather heartbeat. Marvellous chocolate mousse from DeadBride (the perfect balance of creamy, foamy and gritty that it should be) and emoji-style devilled eggs from Threespeed. Are we having flan yet?
Great difficulty making fire in the howling gale. Zeus' armpit proved incombustible but eventually we succeeded by huddling into a compact sphere of pilot flesh. Then, sparklers aflame on Poo Point!
Returning we released Dozer back into the wild, once more enjoying palatial fuel dumps at her beach fort. Tyrian had 87 chain drops and Sewer had 74. Sewer eventually shortened his chain but Tyrian left Pale Horse's still as twisted as his soul.
Poops galore! DC, Shadowcat (two times), and Bane (also two times) ("the strangest bonus I have ever gotten").
The return of Zeus! Rocking HARVlet Fire which sports a pneumatic truck horn and a great paint job, and it kind of works some of the time. Babymaggots Slide and YoMomma turned in fine flights on a long and mechanicalicious mission.
CAN WE EFFING KNIGHT PERILOUS ALREADY JEEBUS THIS IS SILLY. Come back Punchy, all is forgiven and we need you.
Thanks to DeadBride for a most excellent and effective mission. We broke the Deer Island curse in fine style, with no hysterics and really very little misery.
