Background

Pickle Inspector is a somewhat socially awkward acquaintance of both Problem Sleuth and Ace Dick. He first appears in page 131, seen in his office while Problem Sleuth is spying on him. While he is physically rather weak, his enormous Imagination stat is quite useful in the imaginary universe, where he can conjure candy-based weaponry and transform himself in various ways, resulting in a plethora of alternate Pickle Inspectors with varying but still very powerful abilities.

This denial has gotten to the point where the author had rejected the idea that a pumpkin had ever existed in any parts of the MSPA storylines for the simple matter that pumpkins had never existed at all, and you are quite certain that there will never be one on this wiki, ever. Should be comparable to Problem Sleuth), Type 7 and 8 Immortality and Resurrection negation (Should be comparable to Problem Sleuth), Sound Manipulation (Can mute people by turning off "protips"), Minor Regeneration and Healing negation, Irreversible Damage (Destroying a health meter in battle negates regeneration and healing capabilities, making it so you are unable to bring it back for any further use. This can be shown during the battle with DMK)

Resistance to Space-Time Manipulation (Is completely fine after Space-Time was ripped apart by DMK), Perspective Manipulation (Unaffected by Ace Dick's incapability of using IMAGINATION, which as a results turns the universe around him into a non-sentient messed up and poorly drawn world)

Is unable to be interacted with, even to beings with similar states of existence that can interact with each other).

Notable Techniques

Pickle Inspector's Battle Menu.

• AGGRESS: A physical attack using whatever weapons are on hand. Aggressing is a basic attack, and requires no special items or extra equipment. Any character may Aggress with anything they have on them, including guns, makeup, cleaning supplies, paint, scythes, tea, childhood toys or just their fists.
• ABSCOND: Abscond is a technique used to leave a battle. If the incoming assault from your enemies is too tough to handle, choosing Abscond may be your only viable option. Abscond is not foolproof, and can sometimes fail in specific battles.
• BATTLE TECHNIQUES:

Disconcerting Ogle

Learned after

Defeating a beast

Pickle Inspector can weaponize his constant ogling to accomplish different things.

• Level 5 - PI stares at somebody who is flipping the fuck out until they calm down. Used on the Weasel Emissary.
• Level 48 - PI shoots deadly lasers from his eyes. Used by Monster Pickle Inspector against three other imaginary PI duplicates.

After defeating Monster Pickle Inspector, PI learns a new type of ogle, the Disquieting Leer. While PI never uses the leer, Fluthlu possesses the Level 77 version and uses it against Problem Sleuth. Fluthlu shoots a laser from his eye that, if deflected into an ethnic cheer mural, turns the mural's characters into hideous monsters that emerge from the artwork and attack Fluthlu's enemy.

Pickle Replicsimile

If he possesses a great amount of Imagination, Pickle Inspector can create a number of imaginary duplicates of himself, allowing him to explore every possible method of defeating an enemy. He uses the Level 8 version of the operandi while fighting a beast, splitting him into eight separate bodies.

Abstracted Thought

Learned after

Defeating Monster Pickle Inspector

Using Abstracted Thought, Pickle Inspector can divide his consciousness between his real body and one of his imaginary duplicates, giving him the ability to perform actions in reality and the imaginary realm at the same time.

Demonhead Mobster Kingpin possesses the Level 49 version of the ability and uses it during the final battle.

Temporal Replicsimile

Learned after

Defeating Monster Pickle Inspector

This variation on Pickle Replicsimile lets Pickle Inspector split his imaginary self into two duplicates, one that travels to the past and one that travels to the future.

PI first uses the ability so that the past self could travel back in time and solve a complex puzzle in the control room. The future duplicate later shows up during the Demonhead Mobster Kingpin fight and uses the ability again in order to dodge DMK's Vexatious Glower, creating past-future and future-future duplicates.

After all four temporal copies die, they are summoned by Godhead Pickle Inspector for a special mission. Each begins to perform Temporal Replicsimile Ad Infinitum, splitting themselves into smaller copies that themselves duplicate in a never-ending chain. These "part-pickles" soon occupy every location at every point in time, becoming the elementary particles that all matter is made up of: the result of the PIs' constant duplication is the creation of the universe itself.

Anchors Away

A Level 4 Comb Rave, Anchors Away involves Pickle Inspector (in his Tootsie Roll Frankenstein form) throwing the Chicago Overcoats anchor at an enemy. He planned on using it against Demonhead Mobster Kingpin, but this is prevented when Mobster Kingpin smashes PI's suckle receptacle and replaces it with one of his own, letting DMK perform the Comb Rave Fill 'Em with Daylight. In hindsight, PI realizes that Anchors Away is actually a useless attack, since he is fully capable of throwing the anchor without performing a Comb Rave.

Temporal Replicollision

A Level 7 Comb Rave, Temporal Replicollision is a cooperative attack involving Past-Future Pickle Inspector and Future-Future Pickle Inspector. PFPI and FFPI each take half of the available Jocuse Honey and perform a Half Rave Maneuver - PFPI's is called Large Hadron Part-Pickle Acceleration, and FFPI's is called Large Hadron Anti-Part-Pickle Acceleration, but the only actual difference between the maneuvers is their names. The porthole windows are rearranged into two closed circuits of three portholes each, and PFPI and FFPI travel through one of the circuits at near-light speed.

Once they have attained the required speed, the circuits are repositioned next to the targeted enemy and the two part-pickles are launched towards the target, colliding into each other and sacrificing their lives to generate a massive explosion. As a side effect, a Higgs Bonehead is created by the explosion and appears briefly near its location before dissipating into nothing.

Used against Demonhead Mobster Kingpin.

Gambit Schema: The Gambit Schema is a special transforming maneuver, which can be activated by carving the necessary pattern into the Schema Pumpkin. It increases a character's power, and changes their stats of Vim, Pulchritude, and Imagination and introduces Speed, Defense, Flicker, and Ripeness.

Flicker: This meter represents how much damage the character could take while in their Gambit Schema.

Ripeness: This meter represents how rotten the Schema Pumpkin is and thus how much time remains of that characters Gambit Schema until it expires.

• Tootsie Roll Frankenstein: Tootsie Roll Frankenstein is one of the three Gambit Schemas used to grant Team Sleuth (in this case, Pickle Inspector) some fantastical powers. A schema pumpkin is required, and two tootsie rolls to complete the transformation. While under this schema, Pickle Inspector is granted an enormous amount of strength, mediocre defense, but an overwhelmingly debilitating Frankenstein Slowness stat. The majority of the time the Pickle Inspector has spent in this Gambit Schema he has been busily going his usual rate of 6 feet per year to reach objects to interact with, giving him not much chance to execute Combat Operandi or Battle techniques. Fortunately, the completed Sextant allowed him to cause incredible amounts of damage while not having to move.

• Deus Ex Sewing Machina: The Deus Ex Sewing Machina is the weapon of choice for Godhead Pickle Inspector. When Demonhead Mobster Kingpin used his Comb Rave: Fill 'Em With Daylight, tearing the imaginary universe in half, GPI performed the only useful action in his entire history as a deity (other than creating the entire universe) by sewing the universe back together with the Machina and an extraordinarily long length of power cord. The needle for the Sewing Machina is the Ham Needle. Because the thread used to restore the universe is the fan's power cord, it now spans the length of the universe - meaning that though power has been restored to the fan, the time it will take for power to reach the fan and complete the circuit is approximately 18 billion years. Twice. This term is incredibly appropriate as the term "deus ex machina" was created when referring to how a playwright would lower a god (Deus) onto the stage via a crane (machina) and magically resolve the conflict. In this situation a god (head) magically resolves the conflict with his sewing machine.
