Grrl Power #510 – Maybe it’s a cupcake beam
The title to this page is a joke, but how bizarre would it be if Sydney started shooting cupcakes out of the PPO? It might tell her something about the origin of the orbs though. She’d be popular with bachelorette parties. And at… well, lots of places. I mean, who doesn’t like cupcakes? Ooh, especially if someone made a coffee cake cupcake? That’d be… I guess that would be a muffin technically. Ooh! Unless there was cinnamon frosting on it. Oh boy that’d be good. Unless it was too much cinnamon. Do they make butter flavored frosting? Cause that’s something butter needs. 9 parts powdered sugar.
But I digress.
Well, Sydney might get in a little trouble for not spending her point in the agreed upon manner but on the other hand, she’s gotten two skill points in under a week. If that remains a constant she’ll have half the skilltree unlocked by the time she makes private. Hopefully Max and Zephan won’t be too upset with her, at least for that. Locking up while Pixel exited stage left is another story.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. $1 and up, but feel free to contribute as much as you like. Patreon donations might count as some kind of tax write off. I don’t know. Definitely ask a tax professional about that. But in the meantime, donate like you’re trying to get into a different tax bracket!
So she upgraded the Frickin Laser Beams orb.
Not a bad random choice.
“Do you feel lucky Cupcake?”
I mean if it’s got frosting, it needs to be that silky type that you have to freeze in cold water for a while.
Mmmm.
I forgot its name but Mmmmm.
Herione Complex, by Sarah Kuhn starts out with the main characters fighting demonic cupcakes. They’re even on the cover of the book!
It’s not the same thing as a cupcake shooting orb, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Sydney has a sweat tooth instead of a sweet tooth. Unless it fired at cupcakes at railgun velocity, I imagine she’d be a bit bemused.
She’d probably drool over an Emeril beam; she can aim it at her entree and Kick it Up a Notch. “Bam!”
If it fired a version of the (unfortunately imaginary) pepper bees that were stinging Mr. Amorphous’ eyes during the bank heist, that would be awesome. Sort of like Magic Missiles (well, Sufficiently-Advanced-Technology Missiles) with a side of pepper spray and tiny, tiny fury.
curiously enough, the powersets of PPO don’t match the color of the Orb, like the Fly Orb or the Comms Orb or even the Shield Orb.
