Round 2 Match 12: @what-is-love-babey-dont-hurt-me vs. @ectoblast
“Hoe is a gardening tool,” Sam said.
“When did you even get here?” Tali asked.
“You summoned me with your incorrect gardening knowledge.”
“She does that,” Danny explained, lounging back in his chair and sipping an ectoplasm smoothie.
“Whatever.” Tali shook her head. “Alright, hoes, it’s time for match 12! First up is the embodyment of Bob Ross themselves, what-is-love-babey-dont-hurt-me, aka Stain!”
Stain twirled their paintbrush to the crowd’s applause.
“And their opponent, a creature from the Temporal Domain who has all the phighting instincts of both ghost and beast: give it up for Ectoblast!”
The wolf-human centaur loped into the ring.
“Oh, you’d make an excellent subject for my next painting,” Stain cooed, setting up an easel they pulled from the void.
“Not if I draw you first,” Ecto said, brandishing his pen.
“Ooh, an art-off,” Tali said. “I wonder if Ecto’s six limbs will give him an advantage.”
Considering four of them were wolf legs, which lack prehensile thumbs, they did not. But still, his human hands whirled across his sketchbook as he sought to capture Stain’s likeness. With each stroke of the pen, bits of Stain’s mermaid-like form were chiseled away.
But Stain’s brushstrokes were faster. “Time to become a happy little tree, Ecto.”
“No! I just need a bit— more— time—!”
Too late. Ecto’s form dissolved in a spray of paint, transformed into the image on Stain’s canvas.
“Wow. That was some Luigi’s Mansion level shenanigans right there.” Tali hummed the theme from said game on their kazoo. “Ecto is unable to battle! Stain wins!”
