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!]]

"You need to release him, Oogie." Jack says, as various people start encircling Oogie. "This one is not for you."

Well this is embarrassing, being in his pants.

Not least uncomfortable. Doesn't this creature know about his bloomin' back? Let alone his need to have something other than his own snow and candy canes to eat for the last few weeks.

Enzo catches hold of Dani's shoulder and grabs a kiss for luck as they head into the fray (and the fraying might be literal, given the nature of the enemy). "Welcome back. Let's get this party started!"

Whoever this lumpy sack-fellow is, it has the man Bahorel had been suspected of kidnapping. (Which whole affair is very nearly insulting. Bahorel can get in his own trouble.)

Still, it's Milliways. There may be a Simple Misunderstanding That Can Be Easily Solved By Talking,here. He puts his hands to his mouth and shouts. "Hello, Potato-Sack! Is this a private party, or are we all invited?"

He's rather hoping it won't be solved by talking.

Before running in, Duster prepares his Thief Tools. Since the land of Halloween is supposed to be one that reveres fear, he's pretty sure the Scary Mask won't do any good. For now, he takes out his Siren Beetle, which makes a high-pitched annoying sound when activated. If it works, Oogie Boogie will try to cover his ears (or whatever he uses to hear) and buy everyone some time.

He dashes in, running in the matter he learned over his life to make up for his limp, then turns on the Beetle once in range.

As the fabric of Oogie begins to tear, just a little, Jack jumps forward.

He grabs hold of a thread, and he pulls.


Like knitting without a needle, the creature falls apart before him, scattering bugs in every direction.

[ooc: This is the bit you link to at the end folks <3]

Noriko is not, it really ought to be said, much for Christmas. She doesn't really celebrate it, but since when has that stopped anyone wanting to make things right? Noriko is definitely about that.

The look on her face pretty much says it all when she sees the casino decor, and her hands begin to crackle, her eyes to glow when she steps through and faces...a sack. An oddly animated sack, sure, but still. "What the hell are you supposed to even be?"
