A Task From Vask - Story Complete!

[rosetti]

Gradually, popping noises started to crackle from inside the Vask-Wix abomination. And a smell of… popcorn?? Butter popcorn??!????

 

[ParabolaBeam]

A hiccup issued from his lips and popcorn came flying out. Another hiccup, and it tumbled out his ears.

 

[Newbiemayor]

A third hiccup and something else came out his nose and landed on the pile of popcorn. It was Jack's amulet!

 

[Snek]

Before Blanca could snatch the amulet, the M!x abomination stepped over it and screamed: "Į̶̻͚̳͚̦̀̾̏ ̴̧̒̐͌̇̈́h̸͚͇͎̒͆͌̉͗͋ȧ̷̦͖͛ţ̴̯̗͇͔̯̓̀̃̽͑̕é̵̦̺̥͈ ̶̧͚͙̝͙̼̄̓ḃ̶̹͔̹̩̯̓̆͜͠ṹ̶̼ẗ̴͉̬̦̿̔ṱ̸̛͍̜̐̀̌̂̚e̸͕̳̤̔̄̀r̵̢̖͆̇̐͑!̶̮͓̾͌̾"

 

[LoveGraceMarie]

Blanca let out a scream in unexpected shock. “The amulet is mine! No!” She yelled.

 

[Azzy]

Trying not to let her shock overcome her, Blanca dove under the abomination, making a grab for the amulet.

 

[.: Meri :.]

Just as he reached a long, spindly arm out towards her, more violent popcorn-hiccups wracked his body, securing Blanca the moment she needed to snatch the amulet. She dashed for the woods as fast as she could, hoping she'd be fast enough to get away from M!x before he recovered.

 

[Sara?]

blanca ran and ran through the woods until her feet could not uphold her right and her lungs were hurting here from the exertion when suddenly she saw straight ahead a beautiful black cat , she was not sure if she was hallucinating or not, but It looked like it was trying to tell her to follow it…….

 

[amemome]

Blanca and the Black Cat began to weave through the trees and bushes, dodging fallen branches and brambles as they made their way deeper through the woods. As they hopped over a fallen oak, they heard a loud scream — it was M!x! The Black Cat gave Blanca a purposeful look before they headed towards the edge of the woods.

 

[DaCoSim]

Once they got to the woods edge, the black cat started slowly circling a particular tree as if looking for something.

 

[jiny]

the particular tree looked very peculiar, it was practically a dead tree. it had little to no leaves left, and the tree trunk looked as if it had decayed.

 

[Galatea]

Blanca hesitated but couldn't ignore the black cat's persistence; she approached the peculiar tree cautiously.

 

[jadetine]

Scrawled on the trunk, barely visible in the pre-light of dawn, were the words:
Deus ex machina

Suddenly, the amulet flew up into the sky, glowing and spinning.

 

[LambdaDelta]

"tell me, within this amulet, do you see farley or serena?", a booming voice could be heard saying, as the amulet continued to spin skyward. growing larger as it continued to glow

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Looking up, Blanca could only see two strange, abstract images shifting in and out; one of the images oddly reminded her of Paris and Naruto, and the other image could be best described as a beautiful, feather-y iridescent window. After a few seconds of shifting, the amulet finally focused on one image -- and Blanca could see that it wasn't Kakashi at the Eiffel Tower. The amulet displayed none other than Farley!

 

[Vsmith]

The image showed Farley at the Bell trees haunted Carnival. Blanca was confused, why was Farley at this spooky carnival? Was Farley mad?, has he become a vengeful spirit demanding tribute?

 

[Mutti]

Struggling to understand what any of this meant, blanca took two deep breaths in and went back to have a closer look at what seemed to be a impossible scenario…

 

[Aerith]

Visions flashed one after the other: Farley struggling to count small objects in a bottle, Farley trying to pawn off rotten turnips to some pitiable, underpaid vendor, and Farley breaking into a person's camper and vandalizing it with crude imagery.
What did they mean? Blanca had come too far to be faltering now.

 

[rosetti]

The visions started to flash quicker and brighter, repeating the same sequence of Farley’s struggles. Blanca’s heart was racing, the black cat started to meow more and more frequently. In a panic, Blanca reached out to the amulet… in a sudden flash, she was transported to the haunted carnival!

 

[Snek]

Meanwhile, Vask, remembering that this was his story managed to free Wisp, find Jack in a mountain of candy corn and convince Zipper back to join him to get the amulet back from Blanca. "The Tricksters have assembled."
