Ratbutter [Session 20, 4/17]

Cupid's Entry #213
"Dear Diary,

I feel like the group is really coming together!  We've pulled off our complicated "Make Ratbutter paranoid" plan surprisingly well, and all we have to do is wait it out.  In fact, I'm sitting next to Duke, hiding from some of his men, and we're having a great night in Live Oak.  I feel like everything's turning around!"

Cupid Entry #214

...

...Well, Diary, that didn't work out.

We last left off with Piss hiding under downtown's bed as he couldn't escape without making any noise.  He tried to steal some of her things, but couldn't risk getting noticed and stayed under the bed.  Cupid found his way back to Duke, and explained that Piss was trapped.  As the two made their way back to Trish's house, they encountered a large patrol of Ratbutter's men and had to spend the night hiding out behind one of the lift systems they had set-up in the tree-top village.

Back at Trish's place, Lithium tried to communicate with the Moss Men, but ended up making some awkward gestures instead.  In order to salvage the situation, Want turned lithium into a moss-like person herself, and somewhere along the way she figured out that the moss people wanted revenge on cupid still for the featherex dino.

The next morning, Duke and Cupid make their way back to Trish's, but duke soon leaves with Want to find one of his followers.  Lithium, left in the room with the moss men and Cupid, decides it's best for them to leave the confined area.  Want finds one of their followers preaching, and gets up on stage to give a sermon of their own.  Want encourages the people to try mushrooms, and get in touch with their inner self.  Ratbutter, with his thin figure and slicked back black hair, hears the commotion of people on shrooms and having an orgy.  He comes out to see what all the commotion is about, and Want tries to convince him to take some shrooms himself.  The sword speaks to Ratbutter, and tells him it's poison, and so to prove their good intentions Want eats some of his own medicine.  The asparagus doesn't sit well with Want though, and he begins violently expelling fluid out through their nostrils and needs to lay down.  

Lithium tries to get closer, but is stopped by one of Ratbutter's guards.  Lithium says she has a present for Ratbutter, and gives the guard one of her guns/the whip as security.

Piss meanwhile has positioned himself on top of the canopy, and calls the lithe ratbutter a fatass before launching a grenade at him and the crowd of people.  Body parts go flying, and lithium tries to cover Want and the children as they dive for cover.  The sword goes flying through the air, and while Lithium and Want are able to dodge it, Want stays a safe distance away while watching 3 of his child brainers get chopped in half.  

Cupid lunges and grabs the sword out of the air as it flies by, and piss jumps down onto the catwalk in front of Cupid.  He says that since once Cupid took issue with Piss trying to take his kill, if he hands over the sword Piss will consider it even.  A group of Ratbutter's men attack, and Piss turns around to fight them.  The sword screams to Cupid to stab Piss now, but Cupid instead leaps down to the forest below.  Duke sees Cupid running with the sword, and gives chase through the overgrowth.

Once the carnage starts, Lithium is determined to get her gun back.  She slams on the door and commands the guard that it will be much worse if he doesn't give it back, but the guard tells lithium to fuck off.  Lithium then smashes through the wall, taking him completely by surprise and retrieving her weapons.  She begins fighting off the rest of Ratbutter's men, and in the carnage ends up next to Piss.  Piss tells her that they need to take care of Cupid - permanently this time, to which Lithium responds she doesn't have her whip anymore.

Duke loses track of Cupid, but Cupid comes into a clearing to speak with Duke.  Duke says that Cupid has something that doesn't belong to him, and the sword belongs to Piss.  Cupid tries to reason with Duke, saying that Piss is a madman who shouldn't have a dangerous weapon like Ratbutter's, but Duke stands firm and says at least Want should be the one to decide.  Cupid agrees, and says he doesn't know which direction Live Oak is.  Duke looks around to get his bearings, but while he's distracted Cupid stabs him with the sword.  While Duke writhes on the ground in pain, Cupid tells Duke Archie says hello and thanks for trying to help him while he was stuck in Cupid.  He told Cupid to give Duke this, and holds up his first aid bag.  Cupid tosses it to the side of the clearing, and walks off into the overgrowth.  The last thing Duke sees in the session is Cupid raising his Angel-summoning horn in the moonlight and blowing on it.
