That is one ferocious vacuum. Someone should throw the yarn balls at it while it is distracted by Lupin and has its mouth open. If it gets yarn wrapped around it’s rollers that will probably silence it.
OT The official medical examiner report is in. My son died of an overdose. Cocaine and Fentynal. People who found him attempted CPR but he was already gone. Narcan would not have helped.
It appears the crinkle strategy is working! I feel it would be more appropriate if Natasha were taking the Weird Al version of this song (probably with a comment on how a human can be a champion of V&V), but a bard must do what she can.
Can Bards do anything but sing and offer comic relief in these games? As tiny as our brave bard is, she’s smaller than one scale on that Vac dragon so maybe that’s a good thing.
Slightly OT. I had never heard of the magical crinkly balls, so, of course, I had to go buy some. I guess they take the spell of the DM or the ferocity of Lupin to make them work. One of my cats totally ignored them, the other cat sniffed then went back to her old piece of rope. Too bad they come in a pack of ten. : ))
My sister in law is going into emergency surgery for a colostomy. She’s been having pain and issues but has been ignoring it. She lives near Ithaca, NY, so I can’t go to be with her, and she doesn’t want anyone to come any way. I’m scared and also angry at her for not getting it taken care of before it became an emergency, she’s a nurse for Cat’s sake!!! Thanks for letting me vent.
Prayers and best wishes for her rapid and thorough recovery. It is kind of frustrating when those who know better still do foolish things like ignore their symptoms. However, hopefully she will come through this well.
Methinks this is a feline take on the wonderful sci fi movie DUNE. Here on BCN, our very brave LUPIN hops aboard and rides the ferocious Vacuum creature, just as Paul rode the Worm in DUNE.
And if there were panels beyond the last one here, to continue the song:
They see me crinklin’The vaccuumI know they’re thinking I’m so white and furry.Think I’m just so white and furryThink I’m just so white and furryCan’t you see I’m white and furryLook at me, I’m white and furry.
I want to roll with the gangstasBut they all think I’m too white and furryThink I’m just so white and furryThink I’m just so white and furryI’m just too white and furry,Really, really white and furry

Whoa! Crinkle madness on Lupin’s part….he’s really digging in! Dragon vac is ferocious but can’t shake him off.

Hmm. I’m starting to wonder if the vacuum is an Arrakis sand worm, from the way Lupin is riding it. Maybe a sand worm/dragon hybrid?

Monty Python: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Sometimes you roll the dice
And things don’t turn out so nice,
It ain’t a broom and you can leave the room!
When things just get too hard
You need a ballad from your bard
And this will help you fight the bad vacuum!
And
Always remember it is just a game
Always remember it is just a game!
…….
When things seem so full of gloom
Prepare to meet your doom
And the crinkle balls have all been cursed,
Maybe one more cleric spell
When things have gone to heck
And maybe you can sing just one more verse
And
Always remember it is just a game
Always remember it is just a game!

On crinkly quick legs the hero Lupin comes
Softly through the shadow of the evenin′ sun
Chasin’ past the device cause he’s blissfully deaf
Looking for the vroom-shivering like it needs a decaf
Searchin′ out dust bunnies in the gathering gloom
And suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
And only laughing we can when we realize with delight
Hoping that vacuum does not have Lupin for dinner tonight….

Elvis-Anum: I landed on your space, so you have to move your piece back to square one.
Tabith-Isis: No, your throwing stick shows you should only move your piece one space. It doesn’t land on my space at all.
Elvis-Anum: But I threw two black sticks and three red sticks.
Tabith-Isis: No way, there are only four throwing sticks in the game!
Elvis-Anum: What about this red one here?

Ooh
Rogue can dance
He’s got drive
Having the time of his life
Ooh, see that cat
Watch that scene
Stopping the vacuum mean
Friday night and the rolls are low
Trying to make a monster blow
Cute Bard plays the right music
Inspiring is her thing
You can hear balls crinkling
Any cat could give it a try
Night is young and the Rogue is fly
With a bit of Bard’s music
Everything is fine
Rogue’s in a mood unconcerned
And when he gets his turn
He will dance
He will jive
Having the time of his life
Ooh, see that Rogue
Play that scene
Riding the dragon green

I think the dracovac looks like a Chinese dragon, rather than the European version. Probably the mustache.

While you’re defending yourself, maybe you’d like to explain.
Are you a rogue for a day?
Is it some vaulting campaign?
Warpaint your flag on your fur.
Gather your friends on the line.
You never made a mistake, there at the scene of the crime.
Blood on your paws.
Blood on your beans.
Down in the pouring rain.
What do you care, out on the street?
Crinkle’s gonna drive you insane.
Dice are to blame for all that.
(Dice are to blame)
Dice are to blame for all that.
(Dice are to blame)
Oh yeah yeah
Dice are to blame
Where are the angry gold cats?
Where are the wizards of yore?
Looking for trouble again.
Looking to settle a score.
Why do bard songs re-incarnate?
Why will clerics always be here?
Stopping a dust bunnies of hate.
Stopping an vaccums of tears.
Blood on your paws.
Blood on your beans.
Down in the pouring rain.
What do we care, out on the street?
Crinkle’s gonna drive you insane.
Nobody questions the VM elite.
Who’s gonna take up running the game?
Dice are to blame for all that.
(Dice are to blame)
I said dice are to blame for all that.
(Dice are to blame)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Dice are to blame
Blood on your paws.
Blood on your beans.
Down in the pouring rain.
What do we care, out on the street?
Crinkle’s gonna drive you insane.
Dice are to blame for all that.
(Dice are to blame)
Dice are to blame for all that.
(Dice are to blame)
I said dice
(Dice are to blame)
Only got the dice are to blame.
(Dice are to blame)
I said dice are, dice are, dice are
Diiiice
(Dice are to blame)
Dice are to blame for all that.
Don’t blame me, only got the dice to blame
