Count to 42 Before 42, Dovashy or (sometimes) Stormgiggle, or Sir Hugs posts

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

Oh? Alright. You seem to speak unconventionally in riddles, not that I have anything against that!

 

Smashing the computer screen would only lead to my own detriment.. A power outage should suffice. Anyone see a decent lightning elemental around for a decent price? Hm. Wouldn't think so..

I'M BACK!

 

So, uni. Uni has taken up far too much of my time and has made it impossible to post here. UNTIL NOW, THAT IS. Go back to zero!

 

Now, I'm sure you've probably got 5 or so dethrones worth of comments for me to respond to, so your freakout may take a long time to be made. It might even have to wait until tomorrow. It might even have to be done in multiple parts. But I will go through and read every single comment that has been made in my absence! As usual, when there is a ton of stuff to go through and I have to save time when possible, I'll need to be more selective in comments to respond to.

 

Don't just sit around waiting for the freakout. The usual freakout takes about an hour, and considering the current circumstances, this one will probably take much longer. Go watch a movie or something. Then I might just be finished by the time you're back. But I probably won't. I'm gonna be busy, busy, busy!

We need the fanfare.

 

He's been the only one who has made me smile in a long, long time.

I'M BACK!

Go watch a movie or something. Then I might just be finished by the time you're back. But I probably won't. I'm gonna be busy, busy, busy!

Luckily my workload is nothing compared to maths/engineering & other sciences, leaving plenty of time!

 

Yeah, don't worry I'll try to get the upper hand. That small chance you'll leave it in a tab and forget about it. I'll take it into account.

 

Any who, we're at number 2,

You know, throughout all the comments I have read so far, you never got as much as a double dethrone. Just two single dethrones. Hence this isn't technically a freakout. Hence the lack of huge text at the beginning of the post. I got up to page 455, by the way. That's about half-way. Although if you did get a triple dethrone later on, then your huge text will be given at the start of the second half. That half will come later. But for now: COMMENTS:

 

 

Yay, battling a floating number

21

Finally! Someone who recognizes me for what I really am!

 

 

Dang it Stormgiggle..!
Good job holding us off though. You saved 42 from a horrible fate.

2,

Not really, it was one post too late and I still suffered the slight setback...

 

 

You may send us back, but we have something you don't have... Immortal life!
6

What?! You're immortal?! So my plan to just defend my lair until you all die from old age isn't going to work?! That was one of my long-term game plans, all ruined now!

 

Of course, I'm immortal too, you know. Floating numbers don't age.

 

 

Hello, Nightshade.~ 

Greetings, Stormgiggle~ *smiles evilly*

 

3

Did you two already know each other from before or something? You seem like close pair of evil villains or something like that.

 

 

I can't believe you vanished in the middle of our conversation last time! That was rather rude! 

I doubt it. In fact, tonight I plan on not letting you get anywhere, since I am busy with other stuff.

 

 

0!

That's the Stormgiggle I love! Crush their count and their hopes with them!

 

 

1

You see this? Oops, guess you can't prove that your scariest dethroner. You have me, and Mr/ Ms / Mrs. Nightshade here.

I will not tolerate such remarks towards Stormgiggle! She's scarier than all of you! She just doesn't belong in the 'dethroner' set at the moment!

 

 

So, where where we last time? Oh yeah!

 

 

4!

Okay, you two definitely have something going on between you.

 

 

Well Storm, Sounds like even combatants on both sides.
I'll treat this like a game of chess.
I'll take my time moving my pieces, when they're in the right position, you're going down. After all, I'm online for hours after you sleep.
5,

Chess! Now that's a great game! But I don't recommend taking on Stormgiggle like that, since...

Silly Crimson, you can't defeat me like that! They don't call me the Chessmaster for nothing, after all!

 

6!

Took the words right out of my mouth! Well, whatever I use to create sound. How does a floating number speak?

 

 

Hmmm~ Someone is being flirty~ <3

 

I warn you, I'm a tease myself, stormy~ 

 

8

Okay, I believe I've heard enough to understand what's going on between you two. You better not be cheating on Woona with Nightshade, Stormgiggle!

 

 

18,
Pfft! Who needs shadows when you have the void beyond at your disposal!

The void does tend to be more powerful than shadows, I must admit. But I also think the skill of the wielders of each element has a very big impact on which one is more powerful too!

 

 

Hehehe~ I warned you~ 

 

Anyway, Well it depends on how I wish allow others to see me. I do have a physical form though I prefer my shadow form. Honestly, it's kinda fun to see how others react to me in a form that they fear. Watching mortals tremble. Hehehehe~ <3

 

19

Oh... You have a shadow form... I-I'm not scared!

 

 

*laughs* oh really? Well you continue your conversation while I assemble the skeleton army.

1!

No! Not the skeleton army!

 

 

4,
I must say, skeleton armies have definitely proven effective in infiltrating 42's lair in the past!

Exactly! Not the skeleton army, please!

 

 

I have powerful elemental control over shadows and darkness. Could I control you?

24!

You can control someone else made of shadows and darkness? Interesting. My abilities are mostly light-based, so I usually just purge them or something. I'm not all too sure how it works myself, but typically light has an advantage against shadow!

 

 

Hmm... are you for hire?

11!

Are you talking about hiring him as a counter-stopper? Because it's a very complicated process that requires the approval of the head counter-stopper, and at the moment there are no counter-stopper positions open...

 

 

Just undead? Please. You'll also be facing magical constructs and shadow elementals. Maybe even a few ethereal horrors if you get too far. 

 

13!

They're such wonderful guardians of my lair! Have I thanked you enough for bringing your guards with you to defend the place?

 

 

Hello Necromancer, I'm Cinnamon Pop. You know, the pony that cuts off horns.

18

You cut off horns?! Nightshade may be rather scary, but you're still consistently the scariest one!

 

 

Quite easily, I can! I just run up. Grab the Alicorn/Unicorn by the horn, slice it off, and watch the bloody fireworks until i'm bored. Then, I finish it.

Don't cross me.

23

Wait, you mean you can cut off alicorn horns?! I don't know whether to congratulate you for such a wonderful feat, or be scared for my life knowing one of my opponents is capable of cutting off the horn of extremely powerful alicons...

 

 

Especially since, well, you know, if the Princesses find out. Your ooze is as good as cupcake if that happens. 27

What would happen if the Princesses found out, Stormgiggle? They're pretty powerful, so I hope that doesn't cause any problems if they do...

 

 

The princesses and I have an... agreement. They already know.

 

27!

Oh? I would ask about this, but this feels like one of those 'top secret,' 'confidential' things.

 

 

Hmm... Agreement seemed very slow... I do have my outsources. So if this isn't right with Celestia... I will be on your 6. I have nothing to lose, my parents think i'm dead, along with my school friends, and I've been buried alive, once. Ask Nurse Redheart! She knows. (Hypnosparkle)
31

Wow, you've been through a lot. With feats like that, it just makes you even more s-scary...

 

 

I don't know about you.... I don't usually work with loose cannons... As for Celestia, as long as I don't harm any of her subjects, she (barely) tolerates my presence in Equestria.

 

34!

So, you know Celestia, but while you tolerate each other, it's just barely and you don't like each other much? Is that it?

 

 

Yes! We tied up Cinnamon to the emotion tree. Don't tell her this but she has a weakness. Her left wing is basically a shut-off switch. If you pet her like a puppy there, she almost instantly falls asleep. Then, once she was asleep, we left her in her little tent.
38

That might just be the first think I've heard about Cinnamon that isn't scary. It's actually rather cute. Careful, Cinnamon, Nightshade will become the scariest dethroner at this rate!

 

 

Wow. Storm, you were not bluffing when you said you were in for the long haul, and here I was waiting ever so patiently..
51,

Pfft, we never bluff here!

 

... Yeah, that was a particularly poor bluff right there.

 

 

I had better put you guys back to zero. Can't have 42 thinking I'm slacking off!

 

0!

Oh, don't worry, I understand why you count on their side. No hard feelings! Be the wild card that terrifies them with the possibility of betrayal at any moment!

 

 

Nah, I'm feeling particularly sadistic. Back to zero again.

 

0!

Now that's the kind of sadism I like to see! Nice job, Stormgiggle! Count with them a bit, then sadistically crush their hopes over and over!

 

 

Heh heh heh. How interesting...

 

 

2!

You look like you're planning something devious, there!

 

 

Thwarting me whenever i post has become some kind of sport for you hasn't it?
Fine by me, I enjoy the hard difficulty!
1,

I consider hard mode to be when you have three counter-stoppers against you. So it's been hard mode for a while.

 

Speaking of counter-stoppers... We haven't seen Dovashy around for a while, have we?

 

 

Listen, I'm sorry about Peppermint's outburst yesterday, won't happen again

9

Gah! You're back! Listen, could you just, uhh, stand over there so I can... um... admire the back of your left wing?

 

 

12

 

Stormgiggle... one day.. I'll find you. 

Stormgiggle was posting at the same time you were. If you missed him, it must've been an amazing series of coincidences since you were both at the same place! Did you both stare directly at the closest wall while passing each other in the corridor or something?

 

 

15

42 is the enemy here. He's convinced Stormgiggle to become one of his minions

Stormgiggle isn't my minion! He's my ally!

 

 

Oh really? Look at the title. You'd be first if you were main villain. Plus, your protecting him.

Then turning around and saying that your on our team. It's a circle.

17

Well, we mainly have equal power in general. But I'm the head of the counter-stoppers, which means I have the final say on who gets hired as a counter-stopper, and I'm the one responsible for the freakouts. We're still basically the same when it comes to actually stopping your count when we post.

 

 

I find how little you know about what's going on here amusing . 

18!

I find it amusing too. But I just explained it to them, so I might've just accidentally gotten rid of a source of humor for us...

 

 

I wouldn't say that to you!

 

Hey! Get back here! Before I have to send you back!

 

22!

Huh? Cinnamon, w-what are you going to do to Peppermint?

 

 

23 & 1/2

COUNTING ERROR! How did you even get a number that's not an integer? Those are never used here! Oh, wait, you're just messing with me, aren't you? Well, stop it! Counting incorrectly is frowned upon here!

 

 

2
I am waiting... Someone unlock me from my cage.

Hmm... Someone got a new form, huh?

Peppermint? Did Cinnamon lock you into a cage?!

 

 

Aaaand that's about halfway. The rest of the 'freakout' comes tomorrow! Hopefully. I shouldn't be busy then. BEGIN INTERMISSION.

BEGIN INTERMISSION.

 

 

 

 

Did you two already know each other from before or something? You seem like close pair of evil villains or something like that.

 

 

Okay, you two definitely have something going on between you.

 

 

Okay, I believe I've heard enough to understand what's going on between you two. You better not be cheating on Woona with Nightshade, Stormgiggle!

I'm not cheating on anypony! Flirting with (and maybe even seducing) somepony is a good way of lowering their guard so you'll have an easier time of stabbing them in the back later! 

 

2!

42 has no idea my intentions. Though I'll admit to always being a loyal to the Cross Army... I may consider the other side if there are certain parameters met. I've been lurking but not posting to think about it...

[Moon Rat 4,772]

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

And to think I still retain the title "42's No.1 Minion".

I really do a terrible job at that. But FortyTwo's game wouldn't be much without a worthy opponent, so I guess that way I still serve his purposes in a way.

Who needs the news when I can wake up in the morning and read something equally entertaining!

 

Anyway, where were we? Oh yes! That's right! 13,

I've got the day off today, so expect some faster posting times.
