Oogie Boogie bossfight thread

[face_in_the_moon]

When they all come through the door, it's dark, at first; but there are some colourful lights in the middle distance, and a deep voice humming a jazzy tune. There is rumbling, and creaking, and a deep chuckle in the distance. Right ahead of them, there is something like a narrow metal tunnel leading very gently downwards. At the end of it, Enzo is waiting for Dani to bring the others.

Beyond him, there is the sound of jazz music and clanking; something groans in the echoing, cavernous space, but you can't tell if it's a person, or some long-suffering, rickety machinery.  The darkened space beyond Enzo seems to be -- a casino?

There's a roulette wheel in the middle of the room, there are blackjack cards as decoration, and there are -- chains? A casino dungeon, then, inhabited by a living potato sack which is walking around the roulette wheel, humming with dark, sadistic cheer. And the chains contain a certain jolly old man with a white beard, in his underwear, on a sloping poker table, head down.

He probably needs rescuing soon.


[[OOC: This works like an EP -- please tag in separately/in the teams you came with, and kick potato sack ass, so everybody gets to defeat Oogie Boogie in Millitime. Remember, the key to defeating him lies in pulling out his thread!]]

"I am the Oogie Boogie Man..." he says, smirking, humming a few bars of jazzy music before continuing, "... and I welcome you to my den of vice, little Miss Sparkly!"

"Oh, god, it's cocky too," she mutters, taking a swipe at the sack--it's kind of hard to tell which end's going to take damage, but she figures the face ought to work.

"You're not quite as sweet and nice as I'd have thought to look at you," he says, shaking the corner that serves for a head.

Bugs fly from the seams.

"Ha," Noriko bites out, bringing one arm up to guard her face from the bugs. She doesn't shy way from them--she's had way, way worse thrown at her than creepy-crawlies--but she'd like to not take one to the face, either way. "Anyone who thinks I'm sweet to look at is dumber than they look."

She lashes out again; this time with full readiness to discharge, enough current that it might singe the fabric stored in her hands. "And considering what you look like. Well."

[face_in_the_moon]

"Well, what else do you do with those sparkly lights of yours?"

He smirks at her.

[electro_kinetic]

"Generally torch shit or electrocute it," she answers, finding the sentient sack of bugs somewhat more disturbing than anything else.

[face_in_the_moon]

He chuckles.

"You can light up my sparkly lights!" he says, gesturing grandly at the casino-like display.

[electro_kinetic]

"Only if I get to make them explode on you," she snarks.

[face_in_the_moon]

"Oooh, so fierce!" Oogie hums, wacing his sack-corners at her in a a 'bring it on' gesture.
