Right about now, you're attacked by a funk sole brother. Check it out now, the funk sole brother (Repeat as needed to get the full effect).
This is one funky fish -- it slaps the water in a syncopated pattern, wiggling its fins and getting down to music only it can hear. It looks harmless, but don't get too close or you'll end up sole food.
Hit Message(s):
It lets the beat drop, and the beat lands on your foot. Turns out those things are heavy. Ouch! Eek! Argh! Eek! Ouch! Argh! Ugh!
It shakes its tailfin, mocking your lack of rhythm. Ow, your feelings! Ow! Ow! Argh! Oof! Argh! Ow! Ouch!
It whacks you with a fin. It was probably trying to do one of those complicated handshakes (finshakes?) you were never cool enough to get. Ow! Ow! Oof! Ow! Ugh! Eek! Ouch!
It swims high over your head and lands directly on top of you. Don't take it personally -- it probably didn't see you, what with having both eyes on one side and all.
It lets the beat drop, but you turn the beat around and send it back at it.
It shakes its tailfin, but you avert your eyes.
It tries to whack you with a fin, but you arrhythmically dodge.
You hide on the side of it where its eyes don't go. It swims in circles trying to find you. (FUMBLE!)
