Falsehoods in the Deviantart Universe

----------------

Corey and Oats along with all their friends often supported Mel on their adventures and helped her with her problems, one day however things did not exactly go as planned - she was innocently chatting to her friends that morning and exploring the Deviantart universe when Hyacinth - in her naivety believed Mel was being impersonated by someone who was trying to scam people so she very much agreed to change the email address associated with the virtual universe account Mel used for Deviantart and Mel had gone from happy to peeved and worried, she gathered everyone in the lounge.

‘Everyone, emergency meeting, now.’  ‘Emergency meeting, what for?’ Oats asked. ‘Is everything okay?’ ‘No, nothing is okay. Hyacinth just fell for a spammer who was supposedly impersonating me and now my email account name has been changed to a fake one and I cannot get back in.’  ‘It’s not my fault.’  ‘NOT your fault? Hyacinth, you are supposed to be hyper intelligent because humanoid computers are supposed to be smart and yet here you are doing stupid stuff like this.’ ‘But he told me you were suspended.’  ‘No he didn’t, he was fooling you, this Chris Nell impersonator is a fraud and clearly not even a person. You feel for a fake and you went along with it. Do you want me to turn into a monster and hate you again?’

‘No I don’t, i’m sorry.’ Hyacinth broke down in tears as Mel snapped at her, she was starting to lose her patience with her computer friend, she let out a loud roar as she reached out to strangle her for being so clueless. ‘No Mel, no.’ ‘I know I know i’m sorry, but what do we do?’ ‘We need to investigate this.’  ‘How?’  ‘The best way I know how.’

Piff used some magic from the bedbox to make the surroundings look like a combined buddy cop and film noir movie he took on the role of a detective as he began to narrate. ‘There are crimes in the online universe that need solving, that is where I come in, I am Piff and I carry a badge. I am Inspector Piff.’

A title screen popped up saying ‘Inspector Piff in The Case Of The Identity Thief’ as he put on a detective outfit as Corey and Oats took on the roles of a buddy cop duo. ‘It was an ordinary day in Nile Road, but things took an unpleasant turn when a good friend of mine had her identity stolen by someone pretending to be a member of the Deviantart Universe research team, I was working on another case when I heard the news via my associate/love interest Miss Tangie.’

Tangie entered Piff’s office as ‘Miss Tangie’ , a glamorous fish fem-fatale. ‘Ah Miss Tangie, how may I assist you?’ ‘There has been a major crime in the Deviantart Universe. Miss Mel’s identity has been stolen by someone and Hyacinth has been conned.’ ‘Conned, you say?’ ‘Yes, she was conned into believing the Deviantart Universe police department has suspended the real Mel and has been put in the suspension prison.’

‘Well then that is suspicious, don’t worry we will be right on it.’  Piff along with Corey and Oats, hopped inside their very own police van and headed off, going all into the virtual city of the Deviantart Universe to try and solve the case but not before having lunch.

They confronted various criminal gangs and defeated them as Corey made jokes as the wisecracking police officer and Oats acted as the serious one, followed by Piff entering what appeared to be a place known as the ‘Club of Misplaced Identities’ which had various citizens who had been conned and impersonated. He explained he was looking to find whoever stole Mel’s identity and he had a hunch on who was behind it.

He was given clues as to where the culprit was and he had and his crime fighting team headed off,  he spotted what appeared to be a scammer and he used some special hidden powers to change his overall aura, making him more intimidating as he deepened his voice and this gave him a voice that sounded like Alec Baldwin. ‘Do you think you can hide from what is lurking right near you? Yes, I am talking to you, I am using my special aura to detect you and mess with your mind.’  ‘Who are you?’ ‘I am the fish that swims in the night, I am the one bad yelp review that puts cafes out of business,  I am the fugu that causes the eater to go to the hospital, I am that one prickly stonefish that stands around pricking innocent people’s feet on the beach. I am Inspector Piff.’

Piff spun around as he concentrated, making himself look shadow-like as he floated around in the air,  shooting energy beams and teleporting himself in numerous different places to make it look like he was popping up everywhere. ‘You cannot escape from this fish, for he has seen all and knows all. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of humans and sea-creatures? The pufferfish knows.’

He swooped around as he used special powers to confuse the ‘scammer’ and cloud his mind before laughing and performing martial arts movies. ‘How do you like that? I am toying with your mind with my mind powers and confusing you. I am everywhere and nowhere.’  The scammer was confused on where exactly Piff was and he tried to attack a shadow that looked like him, only for Piff to laugh. ‘Ha ha ha, do you think that’s me? You are very silly, but all villains are silly.’

‘Woah Piff I didn’t know you could do that.’  ‘Guys, there’s a lot of things you didn’t know I can do. This is just one of them.’ ‘Yeah, that’s actually kind of cool. And that voice.’ ‘I know, it’s a really awesome sounding voice. I think it makes me sound mysterious, I call it the Badass Alec Baldwin voice.’  He chuckled as he swooped up from behind and knocked out the scammer, freeing the citizen.

The duo followed him along with the others, and that is where he picked the next set of clues and he saw a broken knock-off insignia on one of the cards that lead him to the culprit, he used his powers to cloud the minds of the henchmen before making his way over to where the culprit was,  taking on the form of a ghostly shadow.  He then used some dark energy blast to send the culprit flying onto the ground before he used a spell to unveil the imposter’s true self, revealing them to be Lem. ‘Lem, I should have known.’ ‘Yes it was me, I was the one impersonating Miss Mel the entire time.’ ‘You thought you could fool us like that?’ Oats quipped. ‘Oh yes I did and I thought i’d be able to get away with it.’ ‘But of course you didn’t count on one extremely skilled pufferfish detective. You always seem to forget that i’m one pufferfish you cannot fool.’

He spun around and then he used magic to stop the Chris Nell imposter and he reached for the imposter and pressed a button on his collar revealing he was Dumius in disguise. ‘Dumius, out of all the schemes to try and fool us, you posed as a member of the Deviant City research team?’ ‘Yeah and I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for that meddling microbe and horse and that fish.’  ‘I know your species is supposed to be stupid and everything but this is a new low even for you.’

‘As if anyone would believe a dum dum were-aykroyd with an ever growing body is capable of passing as a human’  ‘Yeah, even that is stretching it.’ ‘You guys never learn do you, all you do is try to cause trouble for us even if you get grounded, you still misbehave.’ They had afternoon tea for a bit before Piff continued. ‘Lem, Lem, Lem, you never learn. You think that you should be as loved as Mel is but you aren’t, you’re a selfish vain villainess who has no redeeming qualities.’  

He told both of them off before arresting them and grounding them again, after he did so the gang all followed him and walked back into the lounge of their home in Nile Road. ‘The case had been wrapped up and the culprits had been put to justice. With those done my associate Miss Tangie was ready to thank me for my heroic duties.’ Piff narrated as Tangie as Miss Tangie came in once again. ‘Oh Piffikins, thank you so much for clearing Mel’s name, I knew she wasn’t behind it.’  ‘You’re welcome.’

She kissed Piff as they all had dinner together, Piff made some Japanese dishes as the environment morphed back to normal, after dinner Mel emailed Jill about their adventure and explained what had happened and apologized to Hyacinth, for she realized now that Hyacinth did not mean to do it and Piff and Tangie went fishing and caught a lot of fish.

Which was followed by a karaoke session and some fun games, when it was time to wind down they all had an ASMR session with Piff and Piff even made a cartoon based on his exploits as a detective and put it on Youtube for all his friends to watch including Suku. An hour later they wound down and got ready for bed.

They all brushed their teeth as Corey put on his bat pajamas and Oats put on his pink night-gown and they all thanked Mel and Piff and said goodnight to each-other, Piff initiated the signature closedown sequence he created which was of an animated pufferfish wearing pajamas yawning and brushing his teeth as a daytime background morphed into a night-time one and a message reading…’We are heading down into the sea-bed so we can travel the ocean of dreams. We will be back tomorrow, love from all your friends on the Piff Channel’ ‘The day is nearly over and night is coming, we are all going to our special cozy corners as we are all ready for bed,  we hope you have enjoyed the show, goodnight to you all, love from Piff’ would appear.

Piff jumped into bed as he morphed his detective costume into a pair of coral print pajamas and he snuggled up with Tangie as he gave the final message which was  ‘This has been another thrilling adventure or set of adventures, you have been watching the Piff Channel, now all of us at the Piff Channel are drifting off but before we do, goodnight and sweet dreams love from Piff.’ as Anglo turned off the light and they all drifted off to sleep.

And once they drifted off to sleep they all had sweet dreams and Piff even dreamed of future episodes of ‘Inspector Piff’ and thus their adventure had ended for today but more are coming up, so stay tuned.
