"I had such dreams, a grey man and a black pyramid, worlds past and present."
He looked at his cloths.
"O so not a dream then, sorry Shobijin direst, what was that, his is awake and she run away. O dear o dear in deed. They need to be put back to sleep..."
An idea seemed to hit it.
"OR! or the island, Yes! the enchanted one Ulysses found, with the one eyes. It's magic would keep mortals away, and the KAIJU safe. We need, we need A KAIJU call that's what we need."
He slaped it leg,
"We need a means to call the them to the island."
Then he stopped.
"But wait!!... fiddlestickandbumkins!!! I forgot where the island is."
He taps his head.
"We need a sage, we need a great sage equal to Heaven, they would know. I was told there was a Monkey made of stone that was one such. Do you know where it lives sweetist?" Indeed, the Monkey King, who hears his name on fey tongues down below in the Mortal World, looks down from his perch atop a stalk of bamboo growing on the side of Mount Meru, a heaven in the Upper Planes separate from the Heaven of the God of Abraham and Jesus Christ...
I would answer thy query, good Lord Perpireen McGibel, if I were not bound by divine pacts taken long ago... We deities cannot intervene so directly, Little Lord of Sprites... Even a wee little speck like thee has more direct agency than a deity in the Mortal World... I've broken the law before, and was roundly punished by the other gods, I was! All I did was give Mister Hisao the ninja a lousy ring of invisibility to aid him in his adventures... No more than Zeus and his clan of Olympians did for Perseus... Why, that hero was lent a magic helmet of invisibility, a magic sword, a magic shield, AND a pair of winged sandals...
Clinging to a stalk of Celestial bamboo on the side of Mount Meru, the Monkey King Hanuman, Sun Wukong, chuckles at the antics of Bear and Fox, which he perceives in a Celestial pool below the bamboo, serving as the demigod’s scrying pool.
In Celestial: Hohohoho!! Hahahaha! That Mister Bear splits my sides with his antics! Poor Mister Fox! Hahahahaha!!
Scratching his furry head, the great Monkey King considers for a moment...
I shall grant the Bear and the Fox a boon!
The Monkey King snaps the fingers of one hand, and, clinging by his feet to the bamboo stalk, beats his chest, creating divine magic! (That grants Johann and Ogon Fox the Boon of the Monkey King—once per week when within 30 feet of each other, one or the other can invigorate his ally with an insult or backhanded compliment, acting as a channel positive energy that can only affect the two of you, as a cleric of level equal to character level!)

In The Celestial Court, the Monkey King gawks in surprise as the meteor crashes into Earth and awakens the King of Kaiju!
Oh boy! What is this! Emperor Shang Ti has cast a falling star into our Game of Mortals to awaken the great kaiju of the world! I wonder who Gojira will awaken next to join in his rampage...

In Celestial: Aww, poor Mister Gokei the Hexagon Clan Wolf Cub... He just wasn’t ready for this mission, it seems... No bounty for him! Maybe one of the other Hexagon Clan Wolves will run the Fox down... Or one of the Chinese gang, the Five Venoms! Maybe it will be Scorpion who kills the Fox with his deadly kung fu... Or Toad... Or Centipede... Or Snake, with his sneaky style of nerve-killing kung fu? Or maybe Spider will make Fox her next victim? We shall see...

It’s not cheating! What about your harping those ghasts into a stupor to protect your little Fox, My Lady Saint Cecilia? Was that fair!? Well... That... That was different! How so?

In Celestial: Oh boy! The Bear is going to pop that weasel if I don’t intervene! Perhaps a little lubricant will help Gokei San escape from this dilemma!
The Monkey King readies a wad of saliva in his mouth, then spits it through the surface of the ambrosial pool!
Johann Kaltgeboren wrote: Hmmm... don't know how well Johann is going to track this guy, with all of this CHEATING going on with heavenly beings. I will try to stay as close as I can and hope that his invisibility wears off. Lol! Monkey King wants to stack the deck a little too... It makes the Game of Mortals far more interesting to throw a “monkey wrench” into the mix once in a while...
Watching the Game of Mortals unfolding in the pool of ambrosia, the Monkey King decides to intervene on behalf of the ninja...
Taking up a silver horn of fog at his hip, Sun Wukong blows a low note into the ambrosial pool, causing a fog to suddenly creep up from the Mediterranean Sea into the streets and alleys of Rome...
Perched high upon a stalk of celestial bamboo growing on the slopes of heavenly Mount Meru, Sun Wukong hears the ninja’s prayer, and is tickled with flattery...
I like this Gokei Tanawaka San! Hahahahaha! Yes indeed, I like his piety! I will see how he fares in escaping this little pickle he’s slipped into! Hahahahaha!
The Monkey King leaps from his lofty bamboo perch and plummets gracefully down leagues of bamboo-clad mountainside, landing gracefully with a thunderous BOOM!! beside a pool of ambrosia... Peering into its golden depths, he perceives the Mortal World below, specifically the portal of the Basilica of Saint Peter in Rome, where the daring Koga Rokakku Wolf Clan ninja Gokei Tanawaka was engaged in a fight for his life against the orc warrior Zagathoth and French magus Arc Perdu Le Rouge!
Sun Wukong shakes his head and laughs long and hard....
HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! Oh, Mister Hisao! How your antics amuse me! Look what your bungled assassination attempt has become! So splendid! So funny!! HOHOHOHOHOOO!!!
Sun Wukong hops up and down, laughing hysterically....
The Monkey King nearly chokes on the peanuts he is munching as he giggles at Mister Hisao's predicament....
Oh, Mister Hisao! How you amuse me!! Do you not know that monkeys should see no evil, speak no evil, and HEAR no evil?
On the verge of clapping his hands in such a way that would break the enchantment on his favorite mortal, the mischievous Monkey King is hindered by the Divine Code, enforced by the mighty Indra, who thunders up on his white elephant....
High on his celestial bamboo perch, Sun Wukong hoots like a ghost....
OOOoooOOOOooooOOOOHHH!!! Heheheh.... Mister Hisao is starting to remind me of a ghost! Very spooky! Heeheeheeheee!!!
On his bamboo perch in the Heavens, The Monkey King beams proudly at the skill and panache of his favorite mortal ninja! He claps and chuckles....
Well done, Mister Hisao! That's proper ninja-craft, there! HAHAHAHA!!!
And when the victor has been declared, go and fetch me a glass of milk to wash down these peanuts, okay? Then I shall grant you cool magic gear of infinite snacks like mine!
You must keep initiative for The Lusty Fools versus Grogan the Hill Giant, first of all....
Very well, my dear Initiative Monkey.... If you complete a quest for your king, he shall grant thee unlimited peanuts and bananas!
On his celestial bamboo perch in the Third of The Seven Heavens, The Monkey King grins at Hisao's words, and plucks a handful of peanuts from his magical pouch of unending peanuts, popping them into his mouth....
Nom....nom-nom.... Do not worry, Mister Hisao, I never run out of peanuts....
He then pats his basket of plentiful bananas and adds: ....or bananas!
Not to be outdone by his contemporaries, Sun Wukong secretly slips a gift into the pack of Hisao of the Yellow Reeds:
A fog-gray ninja outfit (robe slot), Lone Wolf Shinobi Garb, +5 silk clothing of etherealness (as cloak of etherealness) and spider climbing!
Observing the dramatic increase in the aura given off by Iommi-Tyr's deity gift, The Monkey King is vexed!
Harumph! Mister Hisao's ring of invisibility is beginning to seem rather humble by comparison to these other gods'-gifts.... I know! I shall make it a ring of greater invisibility from now on! Now Mister Hisao need never take time to renew its magic! He will remain invisible even when striking at his prey, until he chooses to become visible once more!
The Monkey King snaps his fingers, and the change takes effect!
Hisao now has a ring of greater invisibility!

Huh
Marvelous! Mister Hisao has gone and gotten himself infected with lycanthropy! This should prove most entertaining! Teeheee!!!
But not so swiftly as Hermes' little rogue, I see.... Damn that irascible trickster....I gotta give it to him.... He's a timely little punk....
How swiftly my little plaything reacts! Almost premonitory!
Will Hisao resist the urge to pull the shiny, candy-like lever!?
The Monkey King hoots joyously and claps his hands!
Clever Mister Hisao! I like him more and more!
Sun Wukong rubs his chin thoughtfully....
Hmmmm.... Perhaps I have started something that might grow.... Into trouble! That suits me just fine! Trouble is more amusing than tranquility!
Meh.... I never have a problem with balance, Lord Hachiman! Heh!.... See to it yourself, if my gift to the ninja makes you all sweaty, milord! Tee-heee!!
The Monkey King flicks a booger off his finger that sticks between the nostrils of one of Hachiman's dray cloud dragons....

** spoiler omitted **
The Monkey King clings to his celestial bamboo stalk with his feet and prehensile tail and claps his hands with a chuckle.
Yes! That's proper! Good show, Mister Hisao Yellow-Reeds! I'm keeping an eye out for you, clever chap!
From his perch amid celestial bamboo in the Seventh Heaven, the Monkey King grins as he watches the adventures of Hisao-San and his companions unfold....
This Mister Hisao is my kinda guy! Go for the shiny objects! Eeeek! Eeeek! Eeeeek! I think I'll toss some riches his way....
The Monkey King snaps his fingers....
Down on Earth, the gold ring the ninja is surreptitiously removing from a ghoulish finger briefly sparkles with divine light!

He sends a quick murmer of thanks towards The Monkey King as it's turned out to be a pretty good day so far. In Sanskrit:
Eh? Some gratitude from Hisao the Ninja?.... I like that! Hisao the Ninja's attitude pleases me!.... Even though I have tossed his piece in a strange part of the game board, he is grateful for the adventures I roll him into.... I shall have to keep an eye on this ninja's mischief! It should prove amusing!
