Combat Messages

• Regular message:

  <name> flits around like a hummingbird on diet pills, helping you pick stuff up.

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  <Name> inserts a coffee IV into your arm (kids, don't try this at home). Caffeine bubbles through your bloodstream, elbowing those wussy red blood cells out of its way.

  You gain 5-6 Mana Points.

• Bjornified in the Buddy Bjorn:

  <name> passes you a small cup of coffee, which you down gratefully without thinking too hard about how she brewed it back there.

  You gain 5-6 Mana Points.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <name> vibrates right through your slain foe, shaking loose some extra meat.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <name> does a spastic, arrhythmic dance around the maypole. You feel like burning down the house.

• With wax lips equipped:

  <name> is vibrating so fast her wax lips are a blur, but she appears to be smiling.

Notes

• Formerly available in the Mr. Store for 2 Mr. Accessories. It was replaced there on October 6, 2005 with the functionally identical Attention-Deficit Demon.

References

• Both the Coffee Pixie and the Attention-Deficit Demon probably have the same inspiration from Tweek, a character in South Park. Tweek's parents run a coffee shop, and Tweek was mistakenly diagnosed with ADD. In one episode, Kyle asks why Tweek's parents give him so much coffee, and the parents respond that it helps calm his ADD. Kyle then says that all the caffeine in Tweek's body could be the cause of his ADD. The parents ignore him.
• The maypole message relates to the song "Burning Down The House" by Talking Heads, and the inimitable dancing style of their lead singer, David Byrne.
• The second line of the haiku is probably a reference to the song "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin: "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold." That is itself a reference to the proverb "All that glitters is not gold."
• The Lucky Tam O'Shanter message might refer to "The Flash" or more specifically, Wally West's ability to "vibrate" through objects, shaking them apart.
