Speed

speed is a miscellaneous item in item asylum. It allows the user to temporarily hijack an opponent's screen with pop-ups.
== Functionality ==
While speed is equipped, the user will be prompted: "Click a player to hijack their screen!"
Using speed on an opponent will cause their screen to be flooded with pop-up images of the user looking back, and then striking a pose whilst pointing. The user's avatar in these pop-ups is edited to have a pitch-black skin tone and a single realistic eye on their head. The title bar will say the user's name, suffixed with the .gif extension. speed will generate anywhere from 2-6 of these pop-ups in random locations on the victim's screen. These pop-ups can be dismissed by pressing the X icon in the top right corner of the pop-up. If a player has a gamepad connected, a three-button combination will need to be entered for each popup window to dismiss it.
If the pop-ups are not dismissed fast enough, they will begin to do damage. Each pop-up deals 2.5 damage every 0.5 seconds, stacking additively with other popups. This damage bypasses counter items, but not the victim's defense. A pop-up will cease to do damage when it is dismissed.
If the user has the EXE tag equipped, speed's pop-up will instead show the user staring at the victim's screen from a distance, donning a sinister-looking face with their head rapidly twitching. Blood splatters will be present in the background. This is purely cosmetic.
speed has no limit on its range, and has a 10-second cooldown.
== Tips ==
* Use speed on players with long-range items to force them to stop fighting, as speed will frequently block the large majority of their screen.
* If ever affected by speed, prioritize the popups first and dismiss them as fast as possible. The damage speed deals may be small, but it can quickly drain health if many popups aren't dismissed.
* Turn off any irrelevant UI (chat box, leaderboard, performance stats, debug displays) to prevent wasting time dismissing these later on if hit by speed.
* speed may be troublesome for mobile players, as the X icon may spawn in a place where it cannot be pressed.

== Trivia ==
* The sound speed produces upon making a window is the Windows 98 error sound.
* The size and style of the title bar of each popup are reminiscent of Windows XP's dialog boxes, while the coloration is similar to that of Windows 7 window decorations while using the "Windows 7 Basic" theme.
* The item is based on a sprite edit of Sonic's title screen animation from Sonic CD, making the overall lighting darker, and replacing his usually-confident face with just a single realistic eye.
* speed cannot be used on NPCs, and is blacklisted from BOSS and JGN rounds due to having no effect on bosses.
