Lucky Day has posed:
The grave was simply marked "Mr Fungus" and was not the most expensive favor Tom had ever traded. He basically just hung around a bully for a week and convinced him (by proxy) that maybe being a bully was a bad idea. As it was, there was a small crowd of people, most of them escaped mental patients, masochists or people that were lost and there for the free food. All were dressed in black, and the public funeral notice was, frankly considered to be a Gag gift. The truth was, Tom considered the curse able to see the future. Long experience had taught him that follow through was critical. Sure, the heroes had defeated it. Sure, they were all fine. Sure, it wasn't luck that had turned the tide. Maybe. But what if it had? So Tom had to make himself STILL believe that the Fungus, and always would be his friend. Getting up to the rented makeshift podium, he spoke, "Welcome all. We're all here to talk about what could have been. Our friend, the Fungus. Thank you for coming.

Kid has posed:
No sooner than free food been mentioned, than Kid was amongst the crowd. He wasn't dressed for a funeral persay, just in his usual to-the-nines gangster suit in human form. Needless to say, he was already stuffing his face heedless of the reason for the food. Though he couldn't help but looks over as Tom began to speak. Kid's mouth drops some as he had to wonder if this Tom fella was for real.

Lucky Day has posed:
Tom says, "Now, lets talk about all the good our friend did. Most people ignored the whole good side I pointed out about how we could feed it radioactive or medical waste, but I want to report that from some of my sources in the underworld that in New York State alone no less than 200 metric tons of garbage that would have been causing super powers and random mutations in some landfill somewhere was disposed of through the fungus. Sure, it might have helped them grow, but they were hungry. I have it on good authority, they were telepathic in the end. If we had all just been able to think positive enough thoughts, maybe our collective zeitgeist..." he sobs..."Sorry. Sorry I get so emotional." He rubs a kerchief on his eyes."

Kid has posed:
Kid's mouth slowly closes. Somedays he is glad he doesn't talk. He peers, that was the guy who owed him mangos...well did. He got his mangoes in the end. But he still hated how the fungus messed up his system...and now this guy was trying...grieve a planet killer?
    One eye roll later and kid is back to eating. A pause....you know what! FWOOSH! A partially squashed tomato goes FLYING towards Tom from the crowd - thrown by Kid of course.

Lucky Day has posed:
Tom is hit in the face with a tomato. Then a bird shits on him. Then a tree leaf blows in his face. Kid finds in the potluck section someone has made a LITERAL perfect fruit salad as if it were custom designed for him. Tom spits leaf out and wipes the tomato off of his face, "Yes, yes, I know that sometimes understanding and kindness are not popular," he wipes tomato off his face mixed with his genuine and totally warped crocodile tears, "But it takes courage, courage to love your enemies, especially the ones that want to do nothing but eat you. Why, I remember when he was this high" he makes a gesture with his hand, "Little guy talking to me through a pumpkin, warning us that they planned to eat all life on the planet. And I did tell people about that, but that wasn't what I emphasised. So often in life, we focus on the wrong thing." The audience likes Kid's idea and begins throwing things at Tom as well, most of them dont know why but like the idea for some reason. Tom dodges a lot of them. He keeps talking through the barrage.

Kid has posed:
Kid stares at the fruit salad! Mangos, grapes, starfruits, berries...and NOT ONE SINGLE BANANA SLICE! He takes the -entire- bowl for himself. Scooping handfulls into his maul without worry. He chuckles as he saw other people joining in the barrage. It really was comical. However, what could really send things over the edge? A grand illusion

Kid takes a moment to concentrate and anew illusion appears up in the sky. The words (spelled incorrectly) in cloud form spell "Fungus lover and Planet Killers gathered at" street name "Feel free to arrezt them or sumethyng". Sure the number of people who can see it is limited to his telepathic range...but might be interesting to see.

Lucky Day has posed:
While it is difficult (though not impossible) for Tom to become famous that doesnt mean that people don't really not get to see the results of his antics and a viral campaign with Tom off camera, his voice droning on and on about the thing, spreads through out the neighborhood and soon the whole world. Small web cams that had been set up for other mourners are quickly hacked and those people doxed around the world and #fungusloverssuckmy toe begins to trend on Twitter. Kid, meanwhile, finds a discarded lottery ticket on the ground easily worth 100K. Pristine. Tom continues, or tries to continue, "And so my friends, it is with great loss, we grieve we fe-OW!" He gets hit with a chair in the face, "We happy few who" he gets a pine cone in his mouth which he spits out. "We shall overcome our loss and band together, as a community" a badger, and actual badger is hurled through the air and enmeshes itself on Tom's face as the platform collapses. Meanwhile, a small but growing angry mob carrying torches begins to gather down the street.

Kid has posed:
Kid blinks and picks up the lottery ticket. He hmmms a moment as he has seen humans buy these for some reason. He pocket it, perhaps he can find out more. Regardless he stares at the...strange happenings. A pinecone, a chair...a badger!!! Where did people even get a badger?
    But it was the angry mob that had him stareing. This looks like it might become a full on riote at this rate.

Lucky Day has posed:
There are torches and..yes....pitchforks. The mob is definitely mob like and the people who were sympathizing with the Fungus have now turned into an angry mob looking for someone to mob. The other mob is also looking for someone to mob and joins into one big mob. No one is paying attention whatsoever to the guy trying to get the badger off his face though many in the mob are serupticiously grabbing a lot of the free food or taking the chair. One enterprising fellow takes the Free Lecturn with the intent of starting the world's first Hobo university.

Kid has posed:
Kid stares. Torches...and pitchforks? What was this an old frakenfish novel? The massive mob was also taking all the food. He gives a light growl as this was getting annoying now. A glance to the sky and he realized he also had a place to be. Welp, time to do something brash and stupid.
    For the first time in public and not in anger no less - Kid drops his human illusion and let out a beastial roar to try and scare the giant mob away! After all if chairs and badger can appear from nowhere, why not a gorilla!

Lucky Day has posed:
The mob screams in fear and begin to scatter. MONKEY OUT OF NOWHERE! The badger does not give up so easily though Tom finally extracates it from his face. He throws it away. "Wait! Friends! Come back! Let us sing one more goodbye song....it is important to remember...." he looks at Kid, "You! You were there in the beginning, remember how ...wait no you weren't, that was my good friends the zombies trying to kill us. Sorry I get those mixed u-" the badger comes running back and begins to eat Tom's face again. The mob has dispersed and the park is very largely cleaned since that which was not nailed down was absconded.

Kid has posed:
Kid get a riot out of that as he slaps his leg laughing as the humans scattered. He actually has to wipe a tear away from the laughing. He may not to come out more often! But of course there was the ever odd Tom. He looks to the badger trying to eat his face and grunts his approval, actually patting the badger. Fruit salad still in hand, his illusion goes back on as he walks away. Animal patrol and the cops will be here soon enough with all this craziness

Lucky Day has posed:
The Badger has a small heart symbol appear over his head and Kid had a new friend.
