Who's The Champ for the Job? 2: Cuts and Bruises
{{summoner:2}} Update: Last's issue's top vote was Lissandra, and so this issue will proceed from that decision.
Previously on WTCJ:
You're a guy
who comes back to his apartment to find a crazy flooding situation. You call up your girl Lissandra to come over to help you out.
After what seemed like an eternity of pondering who to call, you decide that freezing the sewage leak to stop the inflow and to gain some kind of control over the situation was the priority, and proceed to call Lissandra, the Ice Witch
. She doesn't take long to arrive, and says nothing at the spectacle as if she deals with massive plumbing issues every day. She immediately gets to work, Glacial Path-ing to the fissure in the bathroom before instantly stopping the flow with her Ring of Frost. Unfortunately, the hot summer weather means that the ice will melt quickly, which means Lissandra has to continuously Ice Shard the area every time it begins to melt. The rest of your apartment, through still inundated seems to be draining slowly into the streets.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Um... I'd appreciate it if you could come over here with a plunger
."
A little confused, you are about to reply that the plunger
should be in the bathroom when you see it floating along the end of the hallway to your bedroom, on the other side of the apartment. It must have drifted there from the rush of water. You cautiously begin to wade through the waist-deep, foul smelling water, towards the plunger. As you make it to the end of the hallway, you feel a sharp pain in the bottom of your left foot. Lifting it out of the water, you see a small glass shard embedded in the heel. You painfully remove it and examine the shard
. Looking into the water, you see that a vase had fallen over and shattered on the floor. Avoiding the other fragments, you retrieve the plunger
and bring it back to the bathroom.
Lissandra
is still keeping the area frozen by hurling the occasional Ice Shard. You walk to her on your tip toes, as it hurts when your heel makes contact. As you are on ice, however, you slip and hit your head hard on the floor
. Starting at the loud crash,
Glacial Paths over to you and helps you back up. Your head is ringing as your vision momentarily fades and then returns.
"Are you alright?"
"Not really, but whatever. Here's the plunger. What do you need it for?"
"Look into the hole."
You peer for the first time down the hole where your toilet used to be, and take a step back immediately. There is a massive green goo-like blob furiously trying to pump water through the ice, clogging the pipe completely. You break the ice with the back end of the plunger
and try to pull out the blob. After a couple of attempts, you hear a voice booming from below.
"These jerks don't know when to quit. Don't be such a stiff."
"Who's there?"
"We should go check it out."
You peer down the hole again, to see that the green blob from before has disappeared. Unfortunately, you can't see down the pipe very far, as it gets too dark. While you would appreciate some light, you also don't want to call too much attention to the fact that you are venturing down the crevice, in case of dangers lurking near. You have another opportunity to call a champion. Who's the Best for the Job?
New Rule: I have decided that unless otherwise stated, champions will have to leave after three issues of assisting you, which means most of the time there will be only three champions help you at any given moment.
Comment who you want to help you next. And as always, see you all next time :D
