> You need your sleep, young wizard! You'll do better in the trials if you are well rested. Go to bed! You take off your shoes, set down your toothbrush and your hat, swallow some lactose and crawl into your sleeping bag. As you drift into sleep you begin thinking of Sweet Girl again. You wonder what she's up to right now, up in her Flying Fortress of Ambrosial Alchemy. ... Sweet Girl stands in her Flying Fortress of Ambrosial Alchemy, crafting a new Licorice Slicer (something to slice licorice, not licorice that slices- that would be a Twizzler Knife) so she can tend to the Licorice Vines fucking up her turbines. From her fortress she can see out across the Dry Plains, The Forest where DunceHat lives in one of the Unalinged Towers, and even further lies a Red-Aligned Tower next to the ocean. Living in a Flying Fortress is wildly impractical, and she literally only lives in one for the view.

You take off your Alchemy Apron to search your chest. Inside your Chest Satchels are a bunch of random things you thought you'd be needing tonight. You used the Lollipopspoon to eat dinner already, the Bottle Rocket you were going to use to actually access the Turbines from the outside when the Licorice Slicer was done being made, the Wrench of Pain was for tightening the lid on your own self esteem problems, and your Debit Card you always carry because it's important to be financially responsible and also your bank isn't insured so you'd rather not lose it.

> Contemplate your friends. You are suddenly hit with the realization that you only have one friend on the entire planet. DunceHat is the only person you know who you actually just go and see recreationally. You play video games, make/eat candy-based objects, and you feel like equals in terms of peermanship. The only other people you know by name are the Masque of Foreverhand, who you really only interact with at parties and similar events, and your mentor, Candy Alchemist Greg.

> Finish the Licorice Slicer so you can get to your other chores. You dunk the Licorice Slicer Blade into the Cooling Water. The blade should be cool enough to fuse to the handle by tomorrow morning. You wanted to get the blade done tonight so that you could go see DunceHat pass his important test tomorrow morning. He wants to hang out after he passes, which is fine with you but that just means you'll have less time to finish the Slicer and cut the licorice, so you're just trying to get all the time consuming stuff out of the way now. The only chores left for tonight are to clean your room and find your bed.

> Think of the acts of Candy Alchemist Greg. While you're thinking of the Test, you think of the ways it's been streamlined in the last few Starcycles. Most notably was the new method devised by your own mentor of course. About 5482.38.2 Keleventillion Moonframes ago your mentor, the immortal Candy Alchemist Greg, decided he was sick and tired of making new channeling apparati for the various Masques of the Elements. He decided instead to craft one final Channeling Apparatus, the Foreverhand. No more would young Unaligned Wizards have to meet with a new Masque for each element- with the Foreverhand, one Masque would oversee all the elements, and they alone would conduct the Test. This streamlined the test taking process significantly, as it meant one day spent with the Masque of Foreverhand as opposed to a few months travelling the world looking for all the different Masques at a bunch of random towers in various middles of nowhere. This was back when Greg wore orange pants. He really liked the colour of the Foreverhand so he changed his pants to be the same colour after that.

You flip over the Days Since Incident poster and check out the map you drew on the back. You like to just admire it sometimes. You drew it yourself. Also, before you saw the space all seen at once like this you had a hard time making your own mental map of the place.

You go over to your toolbox, to see if you need to redo your inventory at all to be ready for tomorrow. Of course there's your wacco, which you don't like to smoke around DunceHat cause he's kind of a nerdy twitchy freak about it. You check out your wrenches. They all pretty much do the same thing so you don't think it matters which you one take with you. The differences are minute and mostly irrelevant and definitely will not have an impact on anything ever. You doubt you'll need an entire Alchemy Set for tomorrow, as you're coming back here before you'll need it again so that's fine. You could maybe take an Arc Reactor. Never hurts to be able to turn into Iron Man. Looking over your hammers you feel a sense of pride and joy, and also longing and nostalgia. You love your hammers, and you'll do anything to keep them from being vored by a horrible monster from outer space. You rather like your goggles, but you find it so much easier to deal with Foreverhand's annoying bullshit when you use your Third Eye. The Super Drill 3000 is not a toy! No matter how many times you have to tell DunceHat not to use it as a grappling hook, he always insists on using it as a grappling hook! The propulsion mechanism was invented so you can drill from a safe distance, and the chain is so you don't have to walk over to retrieve it. However if you simply shoot the drill in the wall and don't drill, it will remained lodged in there when you try to sheath it, resulting in the operator being pulled towards it. That exploit is exactly why operators of the Super Drill have to be licensed and trained so they are drilled specifically to not do that. It is very dangerous. But DunceHat insists on flagrantly violating OHSA regulation EVERYTIME he comes over. In the top drawer there's some clothes.

You shuffle the Lollipopspoon and Wrench of Pain for an Arc Reactor and the Wrench of Shame. Now you're equipped with the power of STARK, and SHAME. Those powers kind of beget each other anyways.

Your Chest Satchels now stuffed, you head up through the ladder in your bed room to reach the Engine Room. The floor vibrates underneath you as the Engine Pillars thrum with life. From your space window you can see the Moon-and-Stars. The Magic Stars aren't visible with the naked eye, so you're happy you installed the Space Window.

Tell us about the Magic Stars Tell who what now? Who's us? You're the only person in the room. If you were going to start spouting off about the Magic Stars you'd probably mention the fact that even though people call them stars they're actually tiny gems orbiting the moon, their power being sapped by Thrajlnir's Temple to feed his lunar schemes. All the magic that doesn't get sucked up by Thrajlnir hits the planet you reside on and imbues the towers with the energy that allows Wizards to cast spells. You would also mention how the moon is called Hydaelyn by its residents and the complex architecture of their nearly zero gravity mega cities but you aren't going to mention any of that because you aren't actually conversing with anyone.

You walk over to one of the engine pillars to make sure it's functioning properly. The pillars are actually Fleshtangles you covered with gauze and imbued with Blood magic. You sap their life force to keep your fortress flying. It's kind of messed up on some levels but on other levels it's fine because Fleshtangles probably aren't sentient. The engine pillar is working as expected, with Magic Blood glowing in between slits of the gauze. These pillars are brand new too, so barring a freak accident you won't have to replace them for a good while. Which is lucky because you hate hunting and trapping Fleshtangles it just takes so long.

You close the Space Window because quite frankly, thinking about the nature of reality and why things are isn't your jam. Philosophy freaks you out, so you drop your party ball and decide to have a DANCE PARTY instead. Currently your party's capacity is 1/20. Rankings... ○ Corpse Party(0)
● Pity party (1)
○ Just a hang out (2-4)
○ 2 Conversations at once (5-8)
○ Can go to the bathroom without being missed (9-15)
○ Dammit clayton you said your brother wasn't coming why is here he's gonna call the cops if we don't let him join but this party's dead if he joins so we're damned if we do damned if we don't (16-19)
○ DANCE PARTY! (20+)
The time is currently 3923.5029-21122.47.5.6 638.2929-2837 tickits until DunceHat's test. Do you want to just give up on sleeping tonight and dance until the test starts tomorrow morning? >Y/N
