Billy the Bass and YOU

[sith_happened]

So it has not escaped our notice that more than a few characters expressd IG desire to steal the tacky-ass almost definitely possessed EXTREMELY PRICELESS singing plastic fish yesterday and we are here to say:

YES. YES, STEAL THAT FISH. STEAL THAT FISH ALLLLL SUMMER LONG.

We have just a few guidelines for you to follow, then steal away!

1) You can steal it. Indeed, you are encouraged to steal it! Coordinate it with whoever currently has it and make your attempt as complicated or as easy as you'd like!
2) You may modify it. In fact, if it's not rainbow colored, rocket propelled and able to make toast and a perfect gin & tonic by the end of the summer, I'll be disappointed. You cannot, however, completely destroy it.
3) There is no three.

The only caveat is that it must be back (handwavily or not) in Anakin's possession each Wednesday so he can give it out to the new weekly winner, at which point you may continue with your felonious ways.

Questions, comments, and Oceans 11-type shenanigan planning can all go here!

For anybody wanting to take possession of that fish for the next round, Peridot is absolutely tricking that sucker out with anti-gravity tech.

So, you know, enjoy your flying fish as it sings Don't Worry, Be Happy in that tinny way that only a Big Mouth Billy Bass really can.

I'm just putting it out there that I'm now picturing the anti-gravity tech suddenly makes it so that fish is Anakin's Mjölnir, so that every Wednesday, he just opens his hand and it just comes flying back to him so he can award it/have it be stolen again.

I KIND OF LOVE THAT?

Peridot programs that tech so that the fish returns to its true and rightful owner on command, and it backfires. :D

[sith_happened]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love this.

[uncertain_dume]

THEN SO IT SHALL BE

[sith_happened]

I look forward to seeing the increasingly ridiculous fish he recalls REELS IN AHAHAHAHAHHA I KILL ME all summer.

[likesthebeatsandshouting]

Excuse you, this girl is gonna make it just blare Sabotage.

[uncertain_dume]

I stand corrected!

So it'll be a flying shouting mjolnir-fish.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

If that fish does not end up in this girl's hands at some point, then we've all failed.

For any interested: FISHMOD 1.0.

It propels itself when it moves its tail, screaming Sabotage all the while. And will totally mjolnir-swim-shriek its way to Anakin whenever he so desires.

FISHMOD 2.0

Aphra has lovingly tried and failed to weaponise installed a high-tech, infinitely full version of a party popper in the fish's mouth and replaced its eyes with holoprojectors you can either record video for or program a message into (currently it's displaying footage of Theron having his ankles being attacked by a roomba).

[sith_happened]

God, but I love you people.

Fishmod 3.0!

It will now telepathically broadcast "The Song That Never Ends" on a loop to any minds in range, put off miniature fireworks and holographic brightly colored flowers with smiley faces in them, and is pumpkin-spice scented.

Fishmod WHATEVER NUMBER!

The fish's charred flesh has been removed, courtesy of Hernando, who did some serious restorative work and installed gorgeous rainbow metallic scales.

The whole effect has been tied off by Zack, who installed a Regen Materia in the fish's eye socket, so now it has a magical glowing green eye that perpetually heals the fish, restoring any new damage added and giving a spirited attempt at fixing the water and fire and bullet damage from before, with mixed success.

The Fishmod I didn't forget! It's going to have been in a freezer for three days. Anything mechanical that thing does will be slow and terrifying. Also it's probably freezerburned?

Also you can expect that Rey will have it in Anakin's hands the second he steps on the island, get it away, get it away.

Ah, William Bass, you dapper fellow...

As of the end of Steampunk Weekend, our good buddy the fish is now even more metal-reinforced under those fancy rainbow scales (only he's a bass again, not a crazy-looking anglerfish like he was over the weekend), and is sporting a fancy top hat and a monocle over that single glowing green eye. All other mods - the confetti barf, the music, the awkward holo of Theron's feet being roomba-attacked and so on - remain as usual.

He's also traded in that plaque he was mounted to for a teeny tiny jetpack. Which is redundant because he could already fly. But now he's flying in style.

This fish is probably also possessed but I don't care, I love him.
