♯Sixth Song: The Man of 256 Faces

[thepurpleway]

Mr. 256 is from this PV (English lyrics here), where he terrorizes Detective Loupe by committing mysterious crimes in hopes to out smart him. This mad man is creepy, manipulative, and dangerous since he likes to use weapons and especially explosives. He doesn't have any weapons, but he could probably make a few explosives.


[1331 Benny]

[Upon finding himself in an unfamiliar town and unfamiliar clothing, 256 thought this was a delightful change of events! Who cares if he doesn't know what's going on! As long as he could have fun with it, then why not? Upon changing into a suit he found in a closet and tying back his hair, he explored his new area.

He found a picture of himself, some other boy, and...HIS NEMESIS!]

My old friend is here? Excellent! All the more savory shall my victory be!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


[Action]

[There are several pieces of uncooked meat hanging from trees all over town. Pork chops, steaks, sausage links, chicken thighs, and bacon strips. They're all dripping with barbecue sauce that included seven herbs and spices.

Just to throw that darn detective off the trail, he throws in several trampolines, marbles on the ground, chewed bubble gum on doorknobs to most homes (his jaw is tired!) and a few garden rakes for innocent bystanders to step on.

All the while he's firing off firecrackers he made himself. They're extra colorful and LOUD!

Have a lovely day!]

[Is it weird stuff happening in Mayfield o'clock? Maniacal laughter says... yes]

Uh... are you okay, Mr Gakupo?

[256faces]

[HOW DOES THIS BOY KNOW HIS NAME?!]

Little boy~? Do you know where that blonde runt--UH...boy is in the picture?

[splashpuppy]

[This is weird... definitely weird]

He's not the drone boy... Why are you calling me that?

[256faces]

That doesn't matter! Where is he?! [Points to the picture of them, including Len in it.]

[splashpuppy]

I don't know, he wasn't here last time I was.

[Starting to get a bit nervous]

Action

[legendaryvaliant]

[It turns out 256's red herrings have mislead more than just the detective. Here's a little girl following the scent of blood from the raw meat.]

Oh man. The dragon's lair has gotta be close!

[256faces]

[POP! POP! POP!goes the firecrackers!!]

[legendaryvaliant]

There!! ♪

[she turns her gun towards the explosions and starts firing rapidly. pewpewpewpewpewpew!

Except nothing happens because her gun isn't real!!]

[256faces]

Nice try, my dear! [256 grins and lights up a whole row of firecrackers before throwing them at Rin!] Try THIS on for size!

[legendaryvaliant]

[An attack pattern like a row is just made to be jumped over by the heroine! And Rin ... IS DEFINITELY A HEROINE. So up and over she goes. That means she's sailing toward his FACE.]

[...okay, man, what is this? Miku is not very amused when she goes home and finds that her hand is covered in gum. Chewed bubblegum, apparently.

She just wants to get inside and play, is that so hard?]

[256faces]

Hello, there! [Just happened to pass by.] Having some difficulties?

[andmyvoicerustedaway]

Yeah. [Shaking her hand and trying to pick the bubblegum off.] There's gum on my doorknob, and I kinda need to get in.

[256faces]

Oh, I can help you out with that!

[But he's not budging.]

[andmyvoicerustedaway]

Really?

[...she's waiting here, man.]

You did say you could help.

Action

[prissy_hooves]

Gakupo, what is the meaning of this? You're behaving absolutely ridiculously.

[She's using her magic to sweep various annoyances out of her path before she steps on them.]

[256faces]

[...a talking pony...with magic.

Mr. 256 looks up from his activities to stare at her.]

Are you a treasure creature? [Because unicorns meant rainbows, and rainbows meant treasure.]

[prissy_hooves]

A... treasure creature? Are you feeling all right? Perhaps you have a fever...?

[256faces]

No, my dear, I'm right as rain! You, however, are a peculiar creature!

You didn't answer my question, by the way.

Action

[hintcoinplz]

[Luke was walking home when he stops and stares at the...meat tree.]

What in the world...?

[256faces]

Fine time for a barbecue shower, don't you think?

[delusionaldetective]

[pah! a trivial obstacle for a detective of Len's abilities!!

... except that his "abilities" are basically all in his loupe. without his magnifying glass to show him glimpses of the truth behind what he sees, this is even more incomprehensible than 256's schemes usually are.

but Len's not going to admit that. so he's staring furiously at the hanging raw meat, trying to divine an answer.]

[256faces]

[The fine, evil mastermind is up on a roof, watching the detective below. Come, now, can't you figure out what's been done?

He lobs out a spoonful of barbecue sauce from above.]

[delusionaldetective]

[NO ACTUALLY I CAN'T seriously where do the trampolines come in???

also that barbecue sauce? DIRECT HIT. it's all up in his hair eww. Len makes an awkward strangled noise as he reaches up to feel it, and whirls around looking for the source]

♪ 256!!

[256faces]

[TOO BAD SO SAD. THey just do. They're only there to throw Len off.

Some pork chops drip more barbecue sauce, but all the while 256 is grinning quietly like a mad fool.]
