Seeing as the gun didn't work as I inventory it, i pull out the first attack I did that actually did Damage to the him. Which is to say i throw Jarate on the Maniac and back the hell up.
The jar of 'ate', or 'anti-food', explodes in his face, dealing 2 damage, since flesh is food, and one of the shards cuts a deep scar into his chest! He pauses for a few seconds, his eyes twitching, before he yells hysterically. "You'll pay for that! You'll all pay for what you've done!" he shouts, throwing his knife from his knife-hand at you. (surprisingly coherent, for once!) Luckily, you dodge it, but you are then met with another jar, at your face. This one, however, is not jarate. regardless, you've seen this before, and dodge... but this time, instead of the liquid you expected, it's an explosive: Anti-Paradox. your skill and foreknowledge ends here, with it knocking you back towards him, and as he shoves a jar of fluid down your throat, your last thought is this, modern art... nay, a modern masterpiece:

I scan the maniac. There's something off about him...
Orders: get the tree "Ent".
Where you thought was the maniac is suddenly an extremely large book. Wait no the maniac just put the book in front of him to block the scan. The Maniacs Autobiography, Edition V: I'm Popular with the Popular Kids!
Autobiography of the Maniac (Adapted from "Diary of the Maniac")
You know how every cliché western school has this idea that kids are either popular or not popular? Well, I don't know about that, cause it's seeming like I'm neither of those.
Chapter V I'm Popular With the Popular Kids!
Which is to say, the normal kids resent me because of what I did, and yet the popular kids are all over me. That would make me a popular kid, right? But if you think of it logically, a popular kid needs someone to worship them, and I sure ain't getting worshipped by anyone. To be popular, you need those normal people, and sometimes even lower scum, to be popular around and to do your bidding. So does it really make me popular if I only have respect around the already popular ones? A dilemma, isn't it. Such an odd, odd dilemma.
Reflecting on what happened, I think this sorta represents my inner self. I wanna be popular, believe me! Despite that… being popular is so overrated. So why not be a popular kid and an underdog? At the same time? That's what I wanna be. And I might just gotten my chance.
Hilda approached me after class and invited me to one of her parties. So I started scribbling something down in my other notebook You. Apparently Hilda is the one that throws parties. Of course there'd be someone like that, what did I expect? She looked at me weirdly, awaiting a response. So I just looked at her weirdly. You know, trying to emulate her own weirdness. And then I nodded. What do you expect? I need to be a well-liked maniacal dictator.
What a dumb name it is, though, Hilda. Hilda is a name for old people. Like all the other names. No other name is as good as mine. No name is spared from my clutches. The entire school is full of nobodies, talentless, and with names that make me want to kill them. I don't know, though, it might not even be something exclusive to this school! I haven't ever heard a name as pleasant, a name as beautifully handsome and handsomely beautiful as mine.
Anyway, I digress. Everyone else sees me in a new light now. Of course they do. Even if the lower class filth abhor me, I know, they know, and everyone knows that they will soon bow down to me. I'm refraining from using my real name for now. I don't want them to know. It's too pure, too precious. Who knows? Maybe it'll become crucial in some way. Maybe it will lead to my very own downfall. That's why I have to play it safe. That's why I'm not stating my name to them, or here, for that matter. My name is just too precious. It's not like their names. It's not like they'd understand.
Mine is the best. And this isn't something only I've said. Others have said it too. They know they're right. I'm better in every way, but when even my name makes it clear I'm superior, then there's nothing they can do. My name. My name is indescribable. Sometimes, when I can't sleep at night, irritated by all of my enemies showing up in my mind, I just repeat my name out loud. It soothes me. Instantly. I still repeat it. Hundreds, thousands, millions of times. I repeat it, in different ways, yet all of them are the same, because they're all me, and I'm ever-shifting, complex, changing, yet the same, always, a constant, never changing. Never going away. I'll never go away. Neither will my name. So I repeat it. And then I can sleep in peace, knowing that I'm so much better than everyone else.
I have such a nice name, don't I? Such a nice name.
I think we should just talk about my name.
I think I should just talk about myself.
I think the maniacs greatest asset is his ability to be completely and utterly insane.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
I'll cast vicious mockery on the maniac. "What are you doing here? There are great adventurers, god-like beings.... and you're just some crazy guy with a knife. You think you can factor here?"
Orders: Get the tree "ent".
"You think I'm just a crazy guy with a 🔪nife? As if! Nobody can touch me! I'm basically a God!" uh... well, he's certainly confident. also he doesn't even have a knife right now.
added to quest reward! Cuphead fires a spread! it hits the two tree"ents", killing one and wounding the other. then, the third shot- aimed at the Ent, but blocked by the tree"ent", does another 20. The Tree"Ent" attacks cuphead and hits once. The LOG directs the bit that hit the orbital cannon to start growing, applying "Seeded" to it. The maniac retrieves their knife. As it turns out, they killed the Mayor of 13th Avenue by accident. oh no! now we need to elect a new one. this is terrible. just terrible. I mean, politics? even fake, game politics spurred on by an omnicidal crazy person? those are just... oh well. The godmodder seems rather happy with this. he gets off his high horse, which immediately vanishes, in order to bribe some officials, making the maniac a valid candidate for the mayor of 13th avenue. what a monster. I bet he Likes politics. More Tarasque pour out of the portal. wait... do tarasque count as citizens? I hope not, but if they do...
[A]Mayoral Competition.
Candidates
Maniac:0 Votes - Vote for him if you want to get a Stand! Yes, the one from that one game. or comic book. or was it an anime? the thing where when people say something is a stand, they don't mean an amusement park thing. He's giving off free Stands. It's probably a scam. It's actually just a lemonade stand, most likely. Maybe you don't want him to become the president, because even if throwing lemonade stands at people is cool and all, this fight will probably be ten times harder. Then again, it's might just be rigged in his favor anyway.
Several Shovels: 0 Votes- Vote for him if you like Reptilians! Who doesn't? They control Earth anyway, not like it makes a huge difference, just sorta... makes it more official. But who doesn't like Reptilians, right? I heard he's part of the illuminati, but that means he doesn't think he is, so be cool, ok?
"Oh, I'm just questing along, and noticed you. It seems that this area is the only place unaffected by the bloodflesh. I was wondering if you could explain why? Just mildly interested. Also what's this about masks, and why are there severed heads on poles over there?"
[1/4] Owl Tribesman 1: We are all one with the owl, and so the Owl protects us. or so it was, but the cunning eagle tribe stole our prized Owl totem long ago! [2/4] Owl Tribesman 1: But the Owl was not with them, and we stole the eagle totem. [3/4] Owl Tribesman 1:The Owl was with us still, and we have harnessed the eagle totem for ourselves. [4/4] Owl Tribesman 1:Still, some do not fully Accept the Owl, and they must go. I pity them, but do not mourn them, traveller. it is their own decision. uhhhhh... you think that was an answer? given how they keep saying "The Owl" this and "The Owl" that, the masks are probably related to their religion.... they also seem very slightly on edge. (no new image, but nothing changed except the field's constant crackling, which does still continue to circle around the tribesman.

The shopkeep runs for mayor.

However, to the actual citizens, you need not worry about being forgotten like the other candidates promise to, the shopkeep has keen business skills and will keep the economy running smoothly.

I place a fully opaque box around the Tarasque Hoard an their portal that is only meant to cast a shadow on the inside of itself and thus fill up with diamonds in order to stop them from moving
I also say "hey shopkeeper make sure you are actually controlling the snake go getter so it does not eat the metal to
If voting for mayor is a free action i vote shopkeeper

you rouse yourself from unconciousness, but... you do not appear to be anywhere near the maniac. you get up, and see this: you then turn around, and see this are you... in the Sewers? Masterwork ｢Modern Masterpiece｣
Side note, nobody actually sees you get sent to the sewers. it happens while they're looking away, even if there is no point at which nobody is looking at you. well, maybe the maniac saw it, but good luck getting a coherent answer out of him, even if he probably wouldn't directly Lie.

I ad to the quest reward
you chairge.
charge added!
... a what? i mean i get that it's designed to get the snake but what is it?
you manage to chop off 2 limbs, and do 20 damage.
"You think I'm just a crazy guy with a 🔪nife? As if! Nobody can touch me! I'm basically a God!"
uh... well, he's certainly confident.
also he doesn't even have a knife right now.
added to quest reward!
Cuphead fires a spread! it hits the two tree"ents", killing one and wounding the other. then, the third shot- aimed at the Ent, but blocked by the tree"ent", does another 20.
The Tree"Ent" attacks cuphead and hits once. The LOG directs the bit that hit the orbital cannon to start growing, applying "Seeded" to it.
The maniac retrieves their knife. As it turns out, they killed the Mayor of 13th Avenue by accident. oh no! now we need to elect a new one. this is terrible. just terrible. I mean, politics? even fake, game politics spurred on by an omnicidal crazy person? those are just... oh well.
The godmodder seems rather happy with this. he gets off his high horse, which immediately vanishes, in order to bribe some officials, making the maniac a valid candidate for the mayor of 13th avenue. what a monster. I bet he Likes politics.
More Tarasque pour out of the portal. wait... do tarasque count as citizens? I hope not, but if they do...

[1/4] Owl Tribesman 1: We are all one with the owl, and so the Owl protects us. or so it was, but the cunning eagle tribe stole our prized Owl totem long ago!
[2/4] Owl Tribesman 1: But the Owl was not with them, and we stole the eagle totem.
[3/4] Owl Tribesman 1: The Owl was with us still, and we have harnessed the eagle totem for ourselves.
[4/4] Owl Tribesman 1: Still, some do not fully Accept the Owl, and they must go. I pity them, but do not mourn them, traveller. it is their own decision.
uhhhhh... you think that was an answer? given how they keep saying "The Owl" this and "The Owl" that, the masks are probably related to their religion.... they also seem very slightly on edge.
(no new image, but nothing changed except the field's constant crackling, which does still continue to circle around the tribesman.

Wobbydoobydoo :
I rouse myself from my state of unconsciousness and back away from the maniac, throwing a stone at the hand on his shoulder as i did so.
I came here to fight godmodders and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum
The snake-go-getter IS.... a smaller snake. With a teleportation device stuck on it so that once it bites onto the target snake it can be removed with the target snake all at once.
The shopkeep runs for mayor. If you vote shopkeep all disposable income of the mayoral district will be spent on hopping up the charge stack on steroids instead of on ruining the battlefield in a decidedly Aiding-Godmodder fashion. However, to the actual citizens, you need not worry about being forgotten like the other candidates promise to, the shopkeep has keen business skills and will keep the economy running smoothly.
A vote for shopkeep is a vote for true neutrality.

I place a fully opaque box around the Tarasque Hoard an their portal that is only meant to cast a shadow on the inside of itself and thus fill up with diamonds in order to stop them from moving
I also say "hey shopkeeper make sure you are actually controlling the snake go getter so it does not eat the metal to
If voting for mayor is a free action i vote shopkeeper
"I'm not directly controlling the snake-go-getter, no, but it's been biologically engineered to go after snakes and not eat metal, so I should be fine unless there are other snakes in the pocket dimension."

you rouse yourself from unconciousness, but... you do not appear to be anywhere near the maniac.
you get up, and see this:
you then turn around, and see this
are you... in the Sewers?
Masterwork ｢Modern Masterpiece｣
Side note, nobody actually sees you get sent to the sewers. it happens while they're looking away, even if there is no point at which nobody is looking at you. well, maybe the maniac saw it, but good luck getting a coherent answer out of him, even if he probably wouldn't directly Lie.
you send in the snake go-getter... it occurs to you that it may take some time for it to catch up to the other snake, but you are sure it'll find them eventually.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are now running for mayor!
"Wow, you're boooooring! You're just running for mayor on the platform of making things good. no twists or inspiring speeches... pthoie. " Says the maniac as he writes your name into the elections in orange-ish crayon.
The shopkeeper plucks the orange crayon out of the Maniac's hand and places an imperceptibly different color of orange crayon in his hand as he writes the shopkeep's name down. "Well if you want inspiring speeches you'll have to wait until the guy who's writing my dialogue feels a bit better, but as for twists I AM planning on summoning a giant robot in the near future, and I've got more surprises after that."
