"Well, I could try to summon an Imp for you if you really want one," I tell Dee.
I equip the heal card and attempt to heal the Shielded feather, and think about how these could make some good armor.
I'm guessing I didn't find an egg.

"W-what? No! That's not what I meant!"
"I'm just saying that Charley looks the part of a pimp, but doesn't really act like one."
"Only trying to make sense out of the casual observations I make. I tend to do that a lot."
"But then again, I guess it would be difficult for him to find clients outside of whatever realm he's from..."

Hello Darkness, my Old Friend.
Eh, 4 out of 5 characters checked in. Teddy is probably sleeping in the pantry or something.
In a burst of purple and black flames, a shaded figure appears in your Shop. "I've waited long enough."
"Still coming for the cat? Should've learned some basic manners if you wanted to keep it!" Matik said.
"Silence. If you must know why the cat is important, I'll tell you before I kill you."
"Two years ago I've observed your dainty, pathetic excuse of an establishment. You few people had particularly strong magic abilities, and it interested me. Until that strange, mental rogue wizard came and sapped you of your abilities. I was expecting him to kill you all but you somehow managed to beat him. Now here, prior to your summoning ritual I owned Mischief as a familiar. I had given him a Fraction of my Power. However, he became rebellious and teleported himself into the Second Realm. I would of taken him back, but you summoned him and didn't return him to me. Now, you have received new powers, and you will still go up against me."
"And you will die."
Estcher's shadow rises and stands up behind Estcher, but as he walks to his side he clones, creating a second shade.
"Enough games."
Choose Fight!
Skirmish - Fight Estcher and his Shades with the whole team.
Showdown - Split your party up to fight the Shades, with Matik facing Estcher.

Remember, don't shoot food.
I ask Estcher if he's the one who sent us to the future.
The lamp teleports within viewing range of Estcher when nobody is looking.

Matik's voice changed. He was
Matik's voice changed. He was going around Estcher.
"Well helllllllllllo there and welcome to our cake shop, Estcher! I've always knew you were Shade since you exploded Dee's response. So you are the one entity! So you are reallllly fixated on killing us, right? Now, if you can, let me tell you a story."
Two years ago, we've opened a cake stall just to sell cakes. Of course, we had to be interesting because of the power of Dark Magik that we were infused. But then, your rogue wizard known by us as an insane cop teared it with one preemptive miasma blow. We've defeated him despite the fact that it was a bit...salty. After we got to advertise on the internet, everything changed...We've been time-warped 2 years later. Now, your Mischief...Pickles seem to summoned it, not sure whether accidentally or intentionally. But I knew that all of this work went to waste when I saw a lamp that was proclaimed by him as the strongest being in the existence.
You look like you are about to throw another of your infamous temper tantrums. These parts were the MOST annoying. I've remembered how did you anger me last time. I've became paranoid about you since then. I've tried to find where you live, only to kill you before you assault us. And since you angered me, I've been insulting you to get you to throw another tantrum so I could give you a way to end this peacefully...sadly I failed. But now, if there's a glimmer of a lovable, friendly person inside of you, listen to me.
I can give you a better ending, where Mischief returns to you and you cease your childish crap on us. First, I need to know how you treat normal cats. I'd watch you for 3 earth days. Then, I'd evaluate you on your good deeds, bad deeds, attempting to hurt the cat, distracting...and if you did lots of good deeds then Mischief would return. But if you did more bad crap, then you would accept the fact that Mischief won't return to you. Or, you could choose to work with us. That way, you would be close to Mischief and we could be friends!
In case I am not able to convice you to do it peacefully. In case you are a maniac and a killer. In case you have nothing but death in your head. I will understand, but then, if you are still that childish Shade who keeps throwing tantrums, insulting us, threatening us that we will die...you know what? I will reveal a secret to you, which will shock you, because I, Matikclocker, am the TRUE GUARD!
The echo kept saying "guard" and then I've brandished my spear.
"All of my guardian training is about to pay off, ho ho!"
Then I've pointed it at Estcher.
"For everything you did to us...for the sake of this cake shop, for the sake of our crew, for the sake of two young girls, Katie and Sarah, for the sake of whole world...Estcher. YOU WILL REGRET EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE TO KILL US!"
(Showdown battle)
((While I will fight, I will keep telling a story about how I thought that we could be friends, the reason behind those attacks, why he is such a tantrum throwing kid etc.))

"Oh, hello."
The storage room door creaks open, and out walks Dee as if it were any other day.
Looking unsurprised at Shade's presence, he lazily brings up his right arm and casually waves.
"Oh, hello."
And those were the only words he said.
In his honesty, Dee could care less about Shade. All the actions he had taken against him were done solely out of loyalty to the shop; loyalty to his coworkers.
But that loyalty is a standing value of his.
And he will uphold it.
Dee is as ready as ever to defend his shop from yet another 'dogged contender' as he had many times before.
((I'm fine with either battle option))
Thu, 08/04/2016 - 23:01
#660
Sorry, I'm weak.
I think Skirmish because I suck at fighting alone.
I give my monologue type thing.
"Y'know, Shade, I have a question.
Why are you attacking a cake shop?
IT'S A CAKE SHOP FOR GOODNESS SAKES!
LET US SCAM PEOPLE IN PEACE!!!!!"
I realize what I just said and tell everyone to forget about that last part.
I continue learning Encourage (2/20)

Finite Limit
Horsey feels irked by Shade's presence.
"I'm only here cause it's my job, but..."
A low chuckle is heard and a light smile appears.
"I guess it could be fun."
The sound of the metallic unsheathing of the Ancient Blade resounds in the room as Horsey pulls the sword from its safety on his back.
It is immediately followed by a loud crumble as the weapon cracks the floor from its weight.
"It's been a while since I've done this..." Horsey says, feeling the sharpness of his sword in his kneel.
He slowly gets up, using his trusty companion's handle as the support.
Horsey prepares himself into a fighting stance, facing his sword at his enemies.
"I am ready," He grumbled.
(Either decision is fine with me.)

Just a small
Just a small breakdown:
Skirmish makes the entire Cake Crew fight Estcher and the Shades.
Showdown is similiar to Skirmish, but I am excluded of the fight just to fight Estcher head-on-head.
I chose Showdown because 1v1s are the best.
Fri, 08/05/2016 - 07:41
#663
Hello Darkness, my Old Friend.
Showdown was picked. Because Matik made it more dramatic...
It will split the party into two to fight the Shades.
Matik doesn't fight Estcher until both shades are defeated by his fellow cake shop allies.

Remember, don't shoot food.
So if Matik's not fighting Estcher until we defeat the shades, couldn't everyone just easily join him in the battle?
Also you forgot about Beat Punch.
Fri, 08/05/2016 - 10:54
#665
Hello Darkness, my Old Friend.
I fixed the skill. But it's not like you even use Beat Punch anyway.
Matik will probably just tell you to stay out of the fight or something because he wants to 1v1 Estcher.
Fri, 08/05/2016 - 11:24
#666
Remember, don't shoot food.
I still don't see it.
So if Matik's 1v1ing Estcher, shouldn't Nann and Mark join us in the fight against the Shades?
Eh, whatever, it doesn't really matter.

Remember, don't shoot food.
I look at Shade's new fire barrier and notice that it seems to be blocking damage. I look at my M. Shield and get an idea.
I cast M. Shield on my fists then use beat punch on Shade, hoping that the M. Shield will stop the flame barrier from burning me, and maybe deal more damage than a normal beat punch.
Pumpkin uses rainbeam in hopes that the orange juice will douse the barrier.
Charley cloaks because they have nothing better to do.
