 * Upon the Lucky Buff activating after a standard self-launch:
 * {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;

! Lucky Landing
 * You soar towards space space X and notice a tall grayish figure standing right there! Oh shit! You close your eyes...
 * You soar towards space space X and notice a tall grayish figure standing right there! Oh shit! You close your eyes...

Contrary to what you'd expect, you open your eyes to find yourself safely hovering over the soft green grass below. A strong hand keeps you afloat with magical strength.

"Quite an entrance, don't you think? You ought to be more careful next time"

Oh wow... it's...

OR

You crash-land through the roof of the Welfare Warehouse on space space X. The absolutely terrible quality of their roof may just have saved your life. If anyone asks, you're gonna say you aimed for this building. As a matter of fact, you're starting to believe it already.

Well, as long as we're being lucky, let's see what we have here...

 * Upon encountering it after The Force has been used on it:
 * {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;

! Toppled Catapult
 * You stand in front of a huge catapult, but it seems that some asshole thought it was funny to topple the damn thing! This is fucking shitty. Thanks a lot, dickface!

You spend your entire turn putting the Catapult back in its original position. When you're finally done, you don't have time left to actually use the thing. Bah.

 * Upon using the Pacman skill on it:
 * {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;

! Pacman Launch!
 * You're hungry. You take a little nibble, but the Catapult is not tasty. You crave meat. Fresh meat. You climb onto the Catapult, driven by bloodlust, then cut the rope!

You crash on space x and die. You know what? This may not have been a brilliant idea...

 * Upon launching a diss card:
 * {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;

! Diss Card: x Launch!
 * You put the flimsy, paper Diss Card: x on the Catapult. You think you're pretty damn smart when you cut the rope. This is gonna be great! SWOOP!

 * Upon continuing from Diss Card: X Launch!:
 * {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;

! Failure To Launch
 * You look into the distance for your card, but cannot see it. It is then that you come to the anticlimactic realisation that the card just came floating down from the Catapult. Apparently launching a flimsy, paper card wasn't the best idea, scientifically speaking.

You pick up your Diss Card: x and shrug.

 * You put your Bee Hive on the Catapult and cut the rope.

With a mighty SWOOP it flies off into the distance! A YouTube video of this would go viral, baby!
