> Select Anna. You selected Anna! > STRIFE! > Attempt diplomacy. You try to reason with the imps. They don't seem to care. Wow, your skills at diplomacy are downright terrible. The imps strike at you! They take down a chunk of your health together. This is worrisome. Cuddles throws blue spheres you identify as the Aura Sphere attack at the imps, killing a few of them. > Equip old keyboard. You get the keyboard and start swinging! It does a bit of damage to each of the imps that were hit and stuns them a bit. The imps attempt throw weak energy blast of their own, but Cuddles takes the blow (who surprisingly doesn't take much damage) and retailiates with more Aura Spheres and a punch to the face for some of them. The fight goes on, and by the time we stop fast-forwarding most of the imps had exploded into these strange gems, and the remaining adversaries are weakened. > Land the finishing blows. Shouting a war cry, you begin beating down each imp until they explode into more of the gems. Cuddles helps out as well, attacking each imp until they explode too. And then the fight is over! Anna has climbed the echeladder!
Anna went from Raging Screamer rank to Novice Noob rank!
Anna received 32 boondollars!> Collect.....whatever the gems are. You gather the jewel-like things. Anna: What's this stuff?
Cuddlessprite: It's grist.
Anna: I remember Shay telling me about those! I want to see what I could build, but I should go back to my bedroom and check my Pesterchum.
Cuddlessprite: Don't you have your phone, though?
Anna: I...kind of left it in the kitchen after I entered the Medium. Eventually, the two of you decide to go to the bedroom anyways. > Check Pesterchum. While you check your Pesterchum, it seems like a good time to switch to someone else! > Be someone else.[/noparse][/a] |

> Mark: Pester Aria Holy shit you need to tell Aria about Evan's sprite like RIGHT FUCKING NOW. [11:09] -- chemicallyVoidarmy [CV] began pestering temporalConductor [TC] at 23:09 --
[11:09] CV: hi there
[11:09] TC: Hello, Mark!
[11:10] CV: So like how's your stuff
[11:10] TC: Sorry if I take a bit long to reply; kind of busy building stuff for Igor!
[11:10] CV: Oh okay
[11:10] TC: Oh, I'm mostly fine, which is kind of a miracle!
[11:11] CV: You know about sprites right
[11:12] TC: Umm... you mean the ghost things?
[11:12] TC: That you can throw stuff in to transform them?
[11:12] CV: Evan got a crazy one
[11:13] CV: See after he threw a thing to get an eagle sprite
[11:13] CV: He decided to throw in a tarot card
[11:13] CV: Guess which tarot card
[11:13] TC: Oh.
[11:14] CV: Mother
[11:14] CV: Fucking
[11:14] CV: ZA WARUDO
[11:14] TC: So that's why Igor mentioned teleporting.
[11:14] CV: I don't think that was Evan's fault
[11:14] CV: I think he threw the tarot card in after entering the Medium and it probably didn't do anything
[11:15] CV: Because I threw my chair into the kernelsprite after entering the Medium and none of the enemies have chairs
[11:15] CV: But still
[11:15] TC: Oh, okay.
[11:15] CV: His sprite literally says 'muda' and also has machine gun fisticuffs
[11:16] TC: Yeah, I guess they don't change if you throw stuff in after you're in the game.
[11:16] CV: Should I just tell him it can probably stop time
[11:16] CV: Because I tried leading him on with forced time puns
[11:17] CV: I can't get over the fact that Evan basically has a Stand
[11:19] TC: You're obsessed with that anime, I'd imagine you wouldn't!
[11:19] CV: I mean I thought I was superior with my Larryonachairsprite
[11:19] CV: But fucking WARUDOSprite
[11:20] CV: Okay I actually didn't tell him about the time stopping because I believe it affects his heart
[11:20] TC: But doesn't everything stop, so it wouldn't really matter?
[11:20] CV: I don't want him to spam it and then collapse and die
[11:21] TC: Oh, yeah, but wouldn't the sprite be affected anyways?
[11:21] TC: And not him?
[11:21] TC: Considering the sprites are completely independent.
[11:23] CV: I dunno really
[11:23] TC: I'd say don't worry about it right now.
[11:23] TC: I have worse things to worry about.
[11:23] TC: There might be someone in my house.
[11:23] CV: Alright
[11:24] CV: Anyway I'm trying to gather boonbucks to buy myself a fraymotif
[11:26] CV: I don't know what they are but I'm gonna buy one to see what it is
[11:30] TC: Oh, okay!
[11:30] CV: Good luck on entering the Medium
[11:30] TC: Thanks, I guess.
[11:30] CV: Or at least whenever you enter the Medium
[11:39] CV: So... see you, I guess?

[10:54] Mark: Alright so we're gonna try and find Shay right

[10:55] Igor: <maybe>

[10:56] Mark: What do you see?
[10:56] Igor: <like a smaller solid planet>
[10:56] Mark: Oh
[10:56] Igor: <I figured since we can fly in this dream world>
[10:56] Mark: We fly into them?
[10:56] Igor: <we can get there and investigate>

[10:57] Mark: But if the empress is on Derse, do you think there are similar ruling forces here?
[10:57] Igor: <maybe just maybe>
[10:58] Mark: Should we ask them or should we head straight for the clouds?
[10:58] Igor: <ask them>
[10:58] Mark: Alright let's go
[10:58] Igor: <I assume it's the large palace>
[10:58] Igor: <also>
[10:58] Mark: Yeah?
[10:58] Igor: <shay is a prospit dreamer stuck on derse>
[10:58] Mark: HOLY SHIT

[10:59] Igor: <she has yellow clothing>
[10:59] Mark: Ye- I have yellow clothing.
[10:59] Mark: Yeah but anyway
[10:59] Igor: <into the castle we go> > Mark: Go to castle with Igor You enter the castle with Igor, and have an audience with the almost pure White Queen. [10:59] Mark: Ask them about some girl with a ponytail?
[11:00] Igor: <yes>
[11:00] Mark: Alright > ==> The White Queen explains that Shay had been captured, which is why she is currently on Derse. Son of a bitch... [11:02] Mark: Shay was captured?

[11:03] Igor: <I don't know>
[11:04] Mark: Fuck
[11:04] Mark: Should we search Prospit cells for anything useufl?
[11:04] Igor: <that's a crazy idea, but maybe>
[11:04] Igor: <also>
[11:04] Mark: yeah?
[11:05] Igor: <remember what the queen said>
[11:05] Mark: Um yeah
[11:05] Igor: <derse is like far far far away from prospit>
[11:05] Igor: <so I doubt we can get there>
[11:05] Mark: Yeeeah

[11:06] Igor: <the rest of the towers and especially Shay's>
[11:06] Mark: Let's go there > Mark: Inspect cell doors once you arrive [11:06] Mark: The cell doors don't exactly have slots for food

[11:07] Igor: <and yes> > Mark: Open door You open the cell door and ooooh, what do we have here? [11:07] Igor: <what do we have here>
[11:07] Mark: A weird circle pad thing
[11:07] Igor: <yes>
[11:07] Igor: <these seem to be teleporters>
[11:07] Igor: <but the thing is>
[11:07] Mark: What is it
[11:08] Igor: <chances are, they are too small for us to enter>
[11:08] Igor: <because who would put a teleporter that the prisoner could immediately escape through>
[11:08] Igor: <in a fucking prison cell itself>
[11:08] Mark: Hm, it's probably one way then, by process of elimination
[11:09] Igor: <yeah>
[11:09] Igor: <so we can't really use anything here>
[11:09] Mark: Maybe there's some way to reconfigure it to be not one way
[11:09] Igor: <next stop, the towers.>
[11:09] Mark: Towers first, I guess > Mark: To the towers! [11:09] Igor: <we don't have any fucking tools, you know>
[11:09] Mark: Fuck I forgot
[11:09] Igor: <what>
[11:09] Mark: about the no tools thing
[11:09] Igor: <YEAH>
[11:09] Mark: but yeah what's in the tower
[11:11] Mark: OH LOOK
[11:11] Igor: <okay so this seems to be shay's tower, and, well... great, nothing fucking useful>
[11:11] Igor: <what did you find>
[11:11] Mark: IT'S NOTHING BUT THE EQUIVALENT OF HORSESHIT
[11:11] Igor: <PRETTY FUCKING MUCH YEAH>
[11:11] Mark: son of a bitch
[11:12] Igor: <jsut some fucking anime crap...wait>
[11:12] Igor: <let me just...>
[11:13] Mark: what did you find
[11:13] Igor: <I know this is impolite, but I'm just going to search through the pesterlogs on this computer> While Mark and Igor are on their very important mission, the story forcibly shifts to another character. It simply cannot contain all this intensity. |

[11:51] Mark: Did you find out anything useful about Shay's mission though
[11:51] Igor: <But I think I know where to get more information>
[11:51] Mark: Where would that be?
[11:52] Igor: <the only thing mentioned was some crap like "the black queen">
[11:52] Igor: <which is who is Shay about to fight>
[11:52] Igor: <"the reckoning", who the hell knows what THAT even is>
[11:52] Mark: Oh god damn it
[11:52] Igor: <and most importantly, a reason to ask Clem a few more questions>

[11:53] Igor: <AND LIKE NOW WE CAN'T FUCKING DO ANYTHING> > Mark: Improvise Hey, those are katanas over there. Maybe... [11:53] Mark: She has a bunch of sharp pieces of shit
[11:53] Mark: Maybe we can use them as improv tools?
[11:54] Igor: <maybe just maybe>
[11:54] Mark: Get a katana
[11:54] Igor: <But I don't know how these teleporters work, so we need to be really careful>
[11:54] Igor: <ok so got one>
[11:54] Mark: I know we gotta be careful
[11:54] Mark: But we HAVE to try
[11:55] Mark: It's probably the fastest way to Derse
[11:55] Igor: <provided it actually leads there>
[11:55] Igor: <but we gotta try>
[11:55] Igor: <anyways>
[11:55] Mark: Alright let's make our way to the cells > Mark: FLY FAST GOD DAMN IT You and Igor reach the cell doors in what you hope to be record time. You don't know how fast you can fly, but you don't want to stop and calculate it. [11:56] Igor: <Okay, so here is an open cell, here is the teleporter>
[11:56] Mark: Alright let's
[11:56] Mark: oh hey a wall panel
[11:56] Mark: Time to pry this son of a bitch OPEN > ==> Igor opens up the wall panel with his (actually Shay's) KATANA. [11:56] Igor: <hacked it out with a katana, now there is a bunch of wire>
[11:56] Igor: <wires>
[11:57] Mark: Alright let's try and test shit out
[11:57] Igor: <okay> > Mark: Engage in weird puzzle shit Actually it's Igor who does that, but you know he's better at weird puzzle shit than you are. [11:57] Igor: <reconnected red to blue and blue to red>
[11:57] Igor: <strange>
[11:57] Mark: Hm?
[11:57] Igor: <it almost feels like I'm disarming a fucking bomb>
[11:57] Igor: <so okay it DOES seem to work>
[11:57] Igor: <I threw a shuriken there>
[11:58] Igor: <and it disappeared>
[11:58] Mark: Alright, it's going somewhere
[11:58] Mark: So should I test it out to see where it goes?
[11:58] Igor: <sure>
[11:59] Mark: Actually what if its one-way but the other way
[11:59] Mark: Let's go together, but I'm going first > ==> This is the opposite of Derse. Good thing the teleporter is two way. > ==> [12:03] Mark: FUCK THAT WAS NOT DERSE
[12:03] Igor: <^^^^^>
[12:03] Igor: <fuck all this nonsense>
[12:03] Igor: <Think, Igor, Think...>
[12:04] Mark: Do we have a purple and yellow wire or outlet or whatever
[12:04] Igor: <UNFORTUNATELY NOT>
[12:04] Mark: What outlets do we have
[12:05] Igor: <red, blue, green>
[12:05] Igor: <and white>
[12:05] Mark: Green to white and white to green?

[12:14] Igor: <If the alchemy works based on what the items resemble>
[12:15] Mark: We can get flying things to go faster?
[12:15] Igor: <then we could potentially turn something resembling a flying creature>
[12:15] Igor: <exactly>
[12:15] Igor: <into a pair of wearable and working wings>
[12:15] Mark: Hm
[12:15] Igor: <by just combining it with a backpack>
[12:15] Igor: <or something like that>

[12:16] Igor: <and then we just die because of fucking course we can't survive in space unless the game thinks otherwise>

[12:19] Mark: I was gonna call it a face but I'm not so sure what that is
[12:20] Mark: Is that the empress you mentioned Shay was talking about?

You are now Igor a bit in the past. You reside in an apartment the Crystal Salamander NPCs have provided to you as the "hero of their land" after you have helped them clear the area around the village from enemies, earning about 3 BOONBUCKS, a couple of levels on your ECHELADDER and a lot of GRIST of various types. There don't seem to be any more enemies teleporting to this area for the time being, so you decide to use this most likely brief moment of peace to talk to your friends... You notice that Shay is online, meaning that she has already talked to the "dream girl" she mentioned and that she might have told her some really useful information about the situation you all are in and the game in general... >Pester Shay. We have already seen this pesterlog. ...SHIT. You begin to almost panic as she doesn't seem to fully know what she's getting herself into, and if she fails and dies... you... your entire team is in hell of a trouble. >Inform everybody ASAP. The only people that seem to be online are Clem and Mark.

[08:18] AA: What is it?
[08:18] AA: ...Dream girl?
[08:18] AA: I have not heard anything of said dream girl.
[08:19] FM: <Well basically>
[08:19] FM: <she has continious dreams in the "physical dream world" where like the golden and purple castles are located>
[08:19] FM: <if you are familiar with those>
[08:19] FM: <and basically>

[08:20] FM: <She said that she could "instantly win the game">
[08:20] FM: <then when I asked how>

[08:20] AA: ...Oh boy.

[08:22] FM: <I figured she is going to some kind of fucking risky endeavour >
[08:22] AA: Doesn't sound very good.
[08:23] FM: <And then like... she said that she is a lot more experienced in combat than all of us>
[08:23] FM: <and that "she is also not at full power", in context of "she" being the enemy she supposedly wants to kill>
[08:24] FM: <I'm worried about her.>
[08:24] AA: I can imagine.
[08:24] FM: <She said that she is confident about winning the battle against that fucking evil witch or empress or whatever>
[08:25] FM: <But the way she talked in... and the fact that she didn't want to share this with us... said otherwise.>
[08:26] FM: <anyways>
[08:26] FM: <how much do you know about the yellow and purple dream castles which Shay referred to as "Prospit" and "Derse"|>
[08:27] AA: I know that I am a Derse dreamer. I have seen that I resided in a purple tower of sorts in my dreams.
[08:27] FM: <most of mine with the exception of the one where the ghost teleported me to what seemed to be Derse were on Prospit>
[08:28] FM: <this is also where I saw a vision that ultimately saved my ass in the "real real" world>
[08:28] AA: Hm. Interesting.
[08:29] FM: <okay so Shay also mentioned a purple jail cell - a jail on Derse>
[08:29] FM: <I suppose at least>
[08:30] AA: Ah, yes. I have heard of such a thing as well.

[08:30] FM: <do you know anything more than that>
[08:30] FM: <like we need all the information we can get especially in the situation like this>
[08:30] AA: Hmm.
[08:31] AA: I've been trying to gather information, but it is limited. I haven't been able to get a first-hand experience on entering the Medium, as I said before.
[08:31] FM: <where the... one of our team members is about to go god knows fucking where to defeat god knows fucking what>
[08:31] FM: <okay>
[08:32] FM: <do you have your server/client for when armaggeddon finally arrives at your house>
[08:33] AA: I have, of course.
[08:33] FM: <Okay, so that is settled.>
[08:34] FM: <honestly, this is a REALLY shitty situation>
[08:35] AA: Well, I'm able to agree.
[08:35] FM: <we won't be able to neither stop nor help Shay on her "insta-win" mission>
[08:35] FM: <because well, we don't fucking know where the hell she is>
[08:35] FM: <and if she is killed>
[08:36] FM: <well then we are going to have a LOT more difficult time AT LEAST if not completely screwed>
[08:36] FM: <not to fucking mention I...She... FUCKING NEVERMIND.>
[08:37] AA: ...This is going to be quite the predicament.

[08:37] FM: <yeah>

>Inform Mark. We have already seen this part, with all the Prospit shenanigans and what not. >Wake up. You wake up in the consorts' house. You are not angry like you usually are after failures like this, but rather... depressed. The only thing on your mind is Shay - if she is dead, then you feel like there is nothing else to do, the game is lost for you... The mission on Prospit didn't accomplish much either... Yes, you finally met with one of your internet friends in real life, but other than that... ...Wait a second. If you actually think about it, then you've actually accomplished or at LEAST got a direction on a lot of things. Like for example, that area around the lotus capsule. Something that looks like a generator, signs with Russian text on them, muffled wind howling outside? Doesn't it remind you of something? And that last pesterlog on Shay's dream computer... Evan seems to have some kind of "guide" to this game he gets the information from. You wonder if... ...SHAY IS ONLINE. THANK FUCKING GOD SHE IS ALIVE. >Talk to her.

...Crisis averted. For some reason unknown to your own mind, you are happier than you should be... "..."God Tier", huh..." You ought to find out more about this state, more specifically, "quest beds" and the exact requirements for using them... Following Shay's advice, you are going to keep it a secret to make sure nobody tries to do it wrong and commits pointless suicide(in which case, again, you and the entirety of your team are in hell of a trouble)... Also, this seems to be what to conserve the sprite's second prototyping for. Somebody will have to get to Derse and stealthily retrieve Shay's dream corpse, somehow transport it to her planet and toss it into the sprite while making sure her sprite doesn't get prototyped with anything else. Now for the next point. Clem's "guide"...
[10:54] -- flamingMetalworks [FM] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 22:54 --
[10:54] FM: <Hi Clem>
[10:54] FM: <So thankfully, Shay herself is alright>
[10:54] FM: <even though her "dream self" is dead>
[10:54] AA: ...I take it her dream-self is not.
[10:54] AA: I would have guessed.
[10:55] AA: That's yet another thing I have read in said guide.
[10:55] FM: <what guide>
[10:55] FM: <WHAT guide>
[10:55] FM: <I was about to ask>
[10:55] FM: <where did you get so much information about the game if you haven't even fucking entered it yet>
[10:56] FM: <we need that ASA fucking P if we want to get out of this game>
[10:56] FM: <before another player goes leeroy jenkins and with his real self this time>
[10:56] FM: <because if that happens we're fucking screwed>
[10:57] AA: I have my sources. But access to said guide is, uneventfully, not available to any others. You need a special kind of bypass to access said website where the guide is available.
[10:57] AA: And yes, that is true.
[10:57] FM: <copy and paste it>
[10:57] AA: I will be the one handing out information in the foreseeable future.
[10:57] FM: <and then send it to everyone ASAP>
[10:57] FM: <pirate it>
[10:57] FM: <if you wish>
[10:57] AA: I cannot copy and paste around five-hundred thousand words.
[10:57] FM: <you can>
[10:57] FM: <there is a shortcut for select-all>
[10:58] AA: I believe I have more knowledge over computers than you do. Pesterchum has a text limit. And even if I were to try and pirate it, it would not be possible.
[10:58] AA: If something is not possible, it is not possible.
[10:58] AA: It is that simple.
[10:58] FM: <there is got to be a reason why>
[10:58] FM: <and if you can access it>
[10:58] FM: <and read>
[10:58] AA: Now, be happy with that is available. I won't do any stupid things that will result in my death.
[10:58] FM: <it>
[10:58] AA: All information will be accessible if you pester me.
[10:58] AA: And yes, that might be the case.
[10:58] FM: <okay>
[10:59] FM: <I was just about to say>
[10:59] FM: <that>
[10:59] FM: <there are some questions I wanted to ask you>
[10:59] FM: <first of all>
[10:59] FM: <do we have any more time limits to deal with>
[11:00] FM: <or we can just take our time>
[11:00] AA: ...As far as I am aware, there are a few events which will take action to prevent. One of them takes place on Skaia itself.
[11:00] FM: <okay>
[11:00] AA: Or, referred to as the 'Battleground. A huge, checkered field.
[11:00] FM: <so, that's the planet we saw inside of skaia>
[11:01] FM: <what about it>
[11:01] AA: As far as I am aware, there will be a meteor shower in the foreseeable future that will destroy Skaia if not prevented.
[11:01] FM: <okay that's... fucking unpleasant>
[11:02] FM: <how do we prevent it>
[11:02] AA: ...That is not said within the guide. Which is irritating.
[11:03] FM: <ikr>
[11:03] FM: <is there anything else said about the event>
[11:03] FM: <like any other effects>
[11:03] FM: <possible cause>
[11:03] FM: <from which we can deduct the way to stop it>
[11:03] AA: It says 'It is a twenty-four hour event in Sburb that occurs when the forces of Derse achieve their inevitable victory over the forces of Prospit on the battlefield.'
[11:04] FM: <okay>
[11:04] AA: 'Due to the direct actions of the victorious dark forces, this results in a rain of meteors from The Veil which will eventually destroy Skaia if not stopped.'
[11:04] AA: 'To defend itself, Skaia uses portals to transport the meteors elsewhere in time and space, specifically to the host planet of the Sburb session.'
[11:04] FM: <so even though that raises even more questions, I can guess a way to stop it>
[11:05] FM: <so that's why the armaggeddon is happening right now on Earth>
[11:05] AA: 'Due to The Medium occupying a seperate location in space time, Skaia can send the meteors to various points in time of the host planet's history. Most of them arrive at the same time, namely turing the time the player start their Sburb session, motivating them to enter the Medium in the first place, which creates a circular paradox.'
[11:05] AA: Hmm.
[11:05] AA: This is quite curious.
[11:06] AA: The meteors are created by events in our future session.
[11:06] FM: <okay, so to stop it, we probably just need to wipe out the "dark forces" and use whatever they've...>
[11:06] FM: <okay>
[11:06] FM: <that's REALLY interesting if you ask me>
[11:07] FM: <so basically>
[11:07] AA: 'In a normal session, the Reckoning begins when the forces of Derse, led by the Black King, inevitably defeat the forces of Prospit and capture the scepter of the White King; after this point, the players have twenty-four hours to defeat the Black King and end the reckoning before the largest meteors destroy Skaia and render their session unwinnable.'
[11:07] AA: I found a way.
[11:07] FM: <okay>
[11:07] FM: <so I was right>
[11:07] AA: I didn't look clearly enough.
[11:07] FM: <yeah, you said it was like a 500 fucking thousand word guide>
[11:07] FM: <okay>
[11:08] FM: <so basically>
[11:08] FM: <we gear up>
[11:08] FM: <we go to the battlefield>
[11:08] FM: <we defeat the black king>
[11:08] FM: <and that's that>
[11:08] FM: <okay >
[11:08] FM: <speaking of "gearing up"...>
[11:09] FM: <does the guide contain any sort of information related to "the Denizens">
[11:11] AA: Hmmm... Let me see.
[11:15] AA: There is some information pertaining denizens.
[11:16] FM: <interesting>
[11:16] AA: Echidna, Hephaestus, Cetus, Typheus Abraxas, Yaldabaoth, Nix, and Hemera
[11:16] AA: Those are the listed denizens.
[11:16] FM: <are these the denizen names>
[11:17] AA: Yes.
[11:17] FM: <Is there anything else written about them>
[11:19] AA: Not specifically. There is a section that explains that you are able to defeat them, however.
[11:19] FM: <oh okat>
[11:19] FM: <not specified how, I'm guessing?>
[11:20] AA: You guessed right.
[11:20] FM: <okay...>
[11:20] FM: <And the last thing I wanted to ask you...>
[11:21] FM: <Is do you have anything resembling a flying creature that is NOT alive and captchalogueable in your house>
[11:21] FM: <and IS captcha...whatever>
[11:21] AA: You mean something akin to a statue or plushie?
[11:21] FM: <yes>
[11:21] FM: <exactly>
[11:22] AA: Hmm... I do think I have a dragon plushie somewhere around here.
[11:22] FM: <because if the alchemy works how I think it does>
[11:22] FM: <we might be able to get a pair of working wings>
[11:22] AA: Hmmm?
[11:22] FM: <See, the alchemy seems to work not only on the basis of what the item does>
[11:23] FM: <but also what it resembles>
[11:23] AA: Ooh, that is interesting.
[11:23] FM: <in addition to what kinf of grist is used in the crafting>
[11:23] FM: <kind*>
[11:24] AA: Hm.
[11:24] FM: <As I have a lot of Spectral Grist from killing monsters, then I think we can combine something that resembles a creature with wings with a simple backpack to get a pair of wings working similar to a jetpack>
[11:24] FM: <except, you know, wings>
[11:25] FM: <using a lot of spectral grist, of course>
[11:25] AA: Dragon wings would be rad.
[11:25] AA: Very rad.
[11:25] FM: <Yeah>
[11:25] AA: I mean, I'm sure you're able to notice my fascination for them.
[11:25] FM: <Can you please send me the code for the dragon plushie, then?>
[11:25] AA: So, yes.
[11:25] AA: I'm looking forward to that. Let me just get the code.

...Oh boy, now THAT is really interesting. On one hand, you seem to have gotten a more complete view on what the game's goal really is. You and your team has to defeat the forces of darkness under the command of the Black King and the Black Queen(the latter of which Shay tried to unsuccessfully fight) before supposedly everything is destroyed. Next stop - your house, provided you actually find a way to get there... ...This is when you actually realize how important your main quest on this planet actually is. THIS. FUCKING. MIST. >Ask the NPCs. You ask the crystal salamander NPCs about any strange objects resembling large stone buildings they may have found. They answer that they haven't seen that specifically, but they have seen some kind of glowing ring a bit away from the village. A portal, huh. Let's see where it leads to... But first, let's grab one of these CRYSTALS on the ground and see if we can use it to upgrade any of the equipment... >Get to it and jump into the portal. ...How convenient. You are teleported right back to the roof of your house. And FUCKING GREAT, MORE IMPS. ...Imps sliced in half, ogres being impaled and exploding into tons of grist, and in the middle of this, a warrior with a pair of shadow blades ready for more. As he gets into his room, he remembers something. THE SHREDDER. >SHRED. As you pick up the guitar(which is now, thanks to all the enchancements, is almost unbreakable) and plays the first chord, a bright shockwave of energy emits from the guitar, making nearby imps immediately explode into grist! As you keep playing, purple lightning bolts begin to emerge out of the guitar and arcs to the flying OGRE that has just teleported outside your window, eventually getting so strong that the ogre explodes into grist. You decide to ascend to the roof for... better coverage. >Ascend to the roof and play the solo. "Ride the lightning, motherfuckers!" As you begin to play the solo, the guitar begins to glow. As you keep playing, bright beams of light begin to shoot out of the guitar at the OGRES and CYCLOPI surrounding you, getting stronger every second you play... As you finish playing and hit the final chord, an incredibly bright wave of energy comes out of the guitar and seemingly the entirety of your body, obliterating every last enemy around your house... though you don't seem to be blinded even for a second... The shockwave also seems to have temporarily cleared out the mist around your house(s), allowing you to see clearly where exactly you are. Both of the buildings are standing on top of an incredibly large and wide crystal pillar. >Collect the spoils and alchemize some cool stuff. Unfortunately, most of the grist has fallen down to the surface of the planet, where you can't descend safely... yet. Nevertheless, you got literal TONS, including a new type - CRYSTAL GRIST. You go to your alchemy setup and combine your old backpack with the code of the dragon plushie Evan sent you. As expected, the result is the DRAGON PACK, which acts just like a jetpack, except with fully functional DRAGON WINGS instead of a rocket engines. But wait, you aren't done just yet... You alchemize the DRAGON PACK with the DARK MANUAL you used to make your shadow blades to get the SHADOW DRAGON PACK, which has higher maneureablilty and the wings of which aren't affected by most physical attacks unless the user itself is targeted. But even THAT is not all! You also decide to infuse your SHADOW BLADES with the CRYSTAL you have brought with you from the surface of the planet using the remaining GRIST you have(including the newly-discovered CRYSTAL GRIST), yielding the TWILIGHT CRYSTAL BLADES. HELL YEAH. As Igor is alchemizing and testing some of his new gear, let's switch to someone else! |

[03:16] AG: The *nly pr*blem *s I d*n*t have a c*mputer.
[03:16] AG: S* I*m l**k*ng f*r the sec*nd p*rtal.
[03:16] AA: You're communicating from your phone then, correct?
[03:17] AG: Hand-free c*mm, actually.
[03:17] AA: Ah, yes.
[03:17] AA: You had alchemized that, I recall.
[03:17] AG: Yes, I d*d.
[03:17] AG: As well as var**us *ther helpful th*ngs.
[03:18] AG: I*m h*p*ng the sec*nd gate leads me back t* my h*use, s*nce I have n* *dea where *t *s r*ght n*w.
[03:18] AA: It would be helpful to land back at your house, yes. I do wish you luck on that behalf.
[03:19] AG: That w*uld certa*nly be helpful.
[03:19] AG: Th*ugh I w*ll be prepared *n case I*m lead s*mewhere less helpful.
[03:19] AA: Good.
[03:21] AG: D*d the gu*de ment**n the gates?
[03:22] AA: Yes. There are seven, if I recall correctly.
[03:22] AG: Where d* they lead?
[03:22] AG: It*d be helpful t* kn*w.
[03:23] AA: The first gate leads to a location on the player's designated planet, the second leading to the player's server's house on their planet, the third further into the server's planet, fourth on to the server's server's house, and so on.
[03:24] AG: Ok s* I*ll grab a c*mputer at T*ry*s h*use.
[03:24] AG: Is she *n the game yet?
[03:24] AG: I haven*t talked t* her much.
[03:24] AA: Coincidentally, she is not yet.
[03:25] AG: R*ght, then I*ll wa*t unt*l she *s t* g* *nt* the p*rtal.
[03:25] AG: Wh* kn*ws what w*uld happen *f I went *n early.
[03:25] AA: You would actually skip to the next server's house.
[03:26] AG: Hm, I m*ght d* that then.
[03:26] AG: Oh, huh.
[03:26] AG: There *t *s.
[03:26] AA: You will actually go to Igor's house. Seeing as you were the first to enter.
[03:27] AA: Client-wise.
[03:27] AG: I wasn*t f*rst t* enter.
[03:27] AG: That was Evan.
[03:27] AA: I am sorry, I messed up. Client-wise you still would actually go to Igor's house.
[03:27] AA: I just messed up. However, server-wise, you would enter Evan's house.
[03:28] AA: Or planet.
[03:28] AA: Then mine, then Igor's, and so on.
[03:29] AG: I*m just g**ng t* h*p *n.
[03:29] AG: It*ll take me t* s*me*ne*s h*use, s* I*ll be f*ne.
[03:29] AA: I do hope so.

You are now CLEM HARDFORD and you are sitting at your COMPUTER, as always. -===> Get pestered by Shay.
Ah, yes, Shay. [09:32] -- adumbratingGrace [AG] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 21:32 --[09:32] AG: Hell*, Clem.[09:32] AA: Ah, hello, Shay.[09:33] AG: I went thr*ugh the gate, and arr*ved at Evan*s h*use.[09:34] AA: Comforting news. How is it over there?[09:34] AG: Much better than my planet.[09:34] AG: I*ve met Evan *n pers*n as well.[09:35] AA: Hm. Was it any good?[09:35] AG: We just talked a b*t and k*lled a bunch *f *gres and cycl*pses[09:36] AA: Sounds like any good time.[09:36] AG: Mhm, *t was n*ce.[09:37] AG: I*ve been w*rk*ng *n my c*mm. It sh*uld be able t* funct**n as a m*b*le c*mputer m*mentar*ly.[09:38] AA: Momentarily. Sounds great.[09:38] AG: Are y*u prepared t* enter the game?[09:40] AA: Yes, I am. I have prepared everything. Here's to hoping it will work out.[09:40] AG: Here*s t* mak*ng *t all w*rk *ut.[09:42] AA: This session has a high chance of succeeding. At least, I will hope so.[09:42] AA: My bountiful knowledge on this game beforehand should work in all of our favour.[09:44] AG: It certa*nly w*ll.[09:56] AA: Now then. I have just finished preparations. Now all I need is a server player.[10:05] AG: And d*ne.[10:05] AG: All ready *n th*s end.[10:05] AA: You've already received word from me that I am prepared.[10:06] AG: I*ll c*nnect t* y*u then.[10:06] AG: Alr*ght, I*m c*nnected.[10:07] AG: Y*u have a n*ce h*use.[10:07] AA: Why, thank you.[10:07] AG: Any preference as t* where I put the dev*ces?[10:09] AA: You might have noticed that I've cleared space for objects of importance. My mother is working in her shop downstairs at the moment, so we should have free reign.[10:09] AG: Ok, I*ll put the mach*nes d*wn here then.Suddenly, a large thump was heard and the ground shook momentarily. [10:10] AA: Quite the miniature earthquakes they cause.[10:10] AG: S*rry ab*ut that.[10:10] AA: No, it's fine.[10:11] AG: What shall I use t* *pen the cruxtruder?[10:11] AA: Let me look.[10:12] AA: There is this bag of school equipment in the corner. Use that.[10:12] AG: That sh*uld w*rk.The cursor promptly hovers over the bag and drags it to the Cruxtruder, slamming the lid. [10:12] AG: There, *pen.[10:13] AG: What are y*u g**ng t* be pr*t*typ*ng?[10:13] AA: My eyes do not particularly like that. So I've put my shades on for protective measures.[10:13] AA: As for prototyping...[10:13] AA: Let me look.[10:14] AG: Ok, th*ugh we d*n*t have t** much t*me.-===>You hastily look through your room. In the corner of your eye, a CUEBALL catches your attention. You FIRMLY GRASP at it with your hand and return to pester Shay. [10:14] AA: I managed to find a cueball.[10:14] AA: Would that work?[10:14] AG: I d*n*t see why n*t.[10:15] AA: Alright. Let me just throw it into there. [10:15] AA: Fire in the hole.-===>
You give a good, hard throw as the cueball flies in the seizure-inducing KERNELSPRITE. A rather blinding flash occurs as the kernelsprite became a CUEBALLSPRITE. [10:15] AA: There we go. It's far less seizure-inducing now.[10:15] AG: Much less s*.[10:16] AG: Here*s y*ur pre-punched card.[10:16] AA: It's a nice, round shape. Colored orange. And thank you.[10:16] AA: Oh, no, wait. I just pulled off my sunglasses. It's a nice blue.[10:16] AA: How stupid of me.You don't know how you messed that one up. [10:16] AG: I was ab*ut t* say...[10:17] AA: Either way, I think I put this punched card into... the Totem Lathe, if I remember.[10:17] AA: Or in the Punch Designix.[10:17] AG: T*tem Lathe, s*nce *t*s already punched.[10:17] AA: Yes, of course. Let me head over to there.[10:18] AA: Alright. I inserted the card into the slot.[10:18] AG: Y*u*ll need crux*te t**.[10:18] AG: I*ll get y*u s*me.Promptly, CRUXITE appears right in front of your eyes. [10:18] AA: Oh, hey. They're also blue. Cool.[10:19] AG: There y*u g*.[10:19] AA: Alright, I think I placed them correctly. On the pedestal?[10:19] AG: Yes, place the t*tem *n the pedestal n*w.[10:20] AA: Done and done.[10:20] AA: Oh, and I just noticed... There's a meteor outside. How quiant.[10:20] AG: Yes, that w*uld be y*ur t*me l*m*t.You think that the meteor is only SLIGHTLY UNNERVING. [10:21] AA: How...motivating.[10:21] AA: And I see that there's some sort of blue sheet of paper made.[10:21] AA: That would be my Artifact.[10:21] AG: Interest*ng.[10:22] AA: I just...have to find a pen.[10:22] AA: An Artifact requires a special interaction to activate. A pen should do.[10:23] AG: I just had a target t* sh**t.[10:23] AG: It was qu*te s*mple.[10:23] AA: I have a pen. Time to make this happen.[10:23] AG: Y*u m*ght want t* hurry.-===>The pen scrapes at the paper, the ink imprinting on the PAPER ARTIFACT. The world around you begins to whiten out from EXISTENCE, if only temporarily. One last pester... [10:23] AA: See you on the other side, Shay.[10:23] -- alchemistsAssassin [AA] ceased pestering adumbratingGrace [AG] at 22:23 --
-===> [ S ]Clem: Enter.
Now that CLEM HARDFORD is busy entering THE MEDIUM, it might be a good time to switch to SOMEONE ELSE. |

You are now Mark Ferrous and oh my God you did stupid shit. The last thing you remember was charging into battle with a bunch of enemies after you explicitly stated in your head that you were aching everywhere. Needless to say, you were aching harder and in pain, and you are currently eating lunch. But hey at least you didn't die, UNLIKE SOMEONE. > ==> Though, now that you consider it further, Shay got a whole lot more out of her dreamself's death than you did out of getting all banged up, relatively speaking. She got a whole lot of information that could help win the game, but meanwhile you finally bought your first fraymotif, which you learned is some awesome move you can use in or out of strifes, and that there are team fraymotifs. Might as well pester Igor now that you're not all that fucked up. > Mark: Pester Igor [05:27] -- chemicallyVoidarmy [CV] began pestering flamingMetalworks [FM] at 17:27 --
[05:27] CV: Oh hiiiiii Igoooooor
[05:27] FM: <hey>
[05:27] FM: <what happened>
[05:28] CV: i didn't take my own advice and now i got fucked up
[05:28] FM: <what the hell>
[05:28] CV: but i got eeeez moneeeey
[05:28] FM: <what the hell did you do>
[05:28] CV: I was aching but i went to fight more shit
[05:28] FM: <god fucking damnit>
[05:28] CV: but its alright because i got enough money for a FRAYMOTIIIIIF
[05:29] CV: ...wait fuck I forget I had these shadow knives
[05:29] CV: fuck that would have helped so much
[05:29] FM: <what's the point of all of this>
[05:29] FM: <*FACEPALM*>
[05:29] FM: <You know>
[05:29] CV: I was angry and shit and also money as a side effect
[05:29] FM: <I thought you would learn from Shay's mistakes>
[05:29] CV: Hey, at least I didn't die
[05:29] FM: <like... you know, money DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER>
[05:29] FM: <well you COULD HAVE>
[05:30] FM: <like going fucking leeroy jenkins into a group of monsters while tired and NOT at full power> > ==> You suddenly remember the futile efforts you and Igor took to try and rescue Shay. Your EMOTIONS spike briefly. [05:30] CV: Yeah but it's not like I need two friends to go on some futile mission to save me
[05:30] FM: <yeah>
[05:30] FM: <but still>
[05:30] CV: snacking on more crickets by the way
[05:30] CV: fuck their food is addictive
[05:31] FM: <I just upgraded my equipment>
[05:31] CV: That's nice also I have my first fraymotif.
[05:31] CV: It's simply called 'The Hand'
[05:32] FM: <what does this "fraymotif" do?>
[05:32] CV: I don't know but it sounds like so JoJo shit right there > Mark: Get up You get up and find an imp not too far away. [05:32] CV: Lemme try it on an imp because I'm like 75% power or something
[05:32] FM: <how do you even use it>
[05:33] FM: <anyways, we have no time to think about animes> > Mark: Become Smart Okuyasu You use Solo Fraymotif Level 1: The Hand! The imp instantly teleports towards you, shocked at this new development. It didn't look like it actually teleported... looks like it IS JoJo shit. Either way, easy pickings. [05:33] CV: I did a thing like The Hand does in JoJo and the imp instantly went closer to me
[05:33] CV: easy pickings
[05:33] FM: <nice>
[05:33] CV: I think it erases space
[05:33] FM: <or you know just teleports the imp closer to you>
[05:33] FM: <so that you can get an easy kill>
[05:34] FM: <one question is would it work on larger enemies>
[05:34] CV: I might try it out on another opponent
[05:34] FM: <okay>
[05:34] CV: I don't know for sure but I think I'll teleport to larger enemies rather than vice versa
[05:34] FM: <Anyways, what I did was alchemized working wings that work like a jetpack>
[05:34] CV: SEND ME THE CODE
[05:34] CV: sorry
[05:34] FM: <okay... >
[05:35] FM: <let me just see>
[05:35] CV: Sorry for yelling
[05:35] FM: <Dr4G0nF2>
[05:35] CV: Thanks man > ==> An ogre has arrived. Time to test The Hand on it! You and the ogre are pulled towards each other towards a middle, rather than either or. Seems like it's dependent on size, or power of enemy. Whatever. Still relatively easy thanks to your trusty MLSLK. You got tired of typing out the full name of your main weapon. [05:35] CV: Also I tested it on an ogre and it's kind of like we pull towards the middle
[05:36] CV: Killed it with little trouble but I should keep that in mind for fighting ogres
[05:36] FM: <okay>
[05:36] FM: <anyways>
[05:36] CV: Yeah?
[05:36] FM: <I also got a new type of grist which seems to be exclusive to my planet>
[05:36] FM: <crystal grist>
[05:36] CV: Oh, I see.
[05:37] CV: Would I get acid grist then
[05:37] CV: The thought terrifies me
[05:37] FM: <probably>
[05:37] FM: <come the fuck on, grist is harmless>
[05:37] CV: yeah i know but
[05:37] FM: <like... the moment you touch it, it disappears into your invisible inventory or something>
[05:37] CV: yeah I guess so
[05:38] CV: Do you think I should start looking for this forge thing?
[05:38] FM: <maybe, but>
[05:38] FM: <one more thing>
[05:38] CV: Yeah?
[05:38] FM: <at least on my planet, there was a return portal not too far away from the NPC village>
[05:39] FM: <which I used to go back home and alchemize all this cool shit>
[05:39] CV: I guess that means there's one on mine then
[05:39] FM: <also, the wings part is FUCKING IMPORTANT>
[05:40] CV: How important would that be
[05:40] FM: <we need mobility >
[05:40] CV: Right, that.
[05:40] FM: <first of all, because then you could easily get back to your house>
[05:41] CV: Yeah that's probably really important
[05:41] FM: <next up, because then we could fly between planets with just 1 or 2 more upgrades>
[05:41] FM: <which would be really important for organization>
[05:42] CV: Ah.
[05:42] FM: <and lastly, because of something Clem told me>
[05:42] CV: What was it?
[05:42] FM: <basically, we are not out of the bullshit-time-limit woods just yet> > ==> Oh. Oh no. [05:42] CV: FUCK
[05:42] CV: How long is said time limit
[05:43] FM: <It's long>
[05:43] CV: Okay, good enough.
[05:43] FM: <but the real amount of time we have left is unknown>
[05:43] CV: I guess that means I should get started on my Forge shit
[05:43] FM: <okay>
[05:43] CV: I think I see the return portal
[05:44] FM: <Basically, remember that checkerboard planet we saw while we were on Prospit?>
[05:44] CV: Yeah?
[05:44] FM: <Well, we need to defeat the forces of darkness THERE before it's destroyed>
[05:44] CV: If only someone told Shay earlier
[05:45] FM: <and if it's destroyed, seemingly EVERYTHING will be>
[05:45] CV: Oh
[05:45] CV: Fuck
[05:45] FM: <either that or we are stuck in this fucking game forever>
[05:45] CV: Hell to the fuck no
[05:45] FM: <I don't think it's time to really hurry just yet>
[05:46] FM: <though>
[05:46] CV: Yeah but like god damnit
[05:46] FM: <since we DO seem to have quite a lot of time>
[05:46] FM: <just don't sit around doing nothing>
[05:46] FM: <upgrade your shit>
[05:47] CV: Well I recently got me a METER LONG SHADOW LASER KNIFE, however the fuck that works
[05:47] CV: But I also remembered you talking about how the shadow knives return after being thrown
[05:47] CV: So I made myself those
[05:47] FM: <I don't really know either, but it does a lot of damage, that's all that matters>
[05:48] FM: <nice>
[05:48] CV: I feel like some sort of Sleuth
[05:48] CV: That has knives I guess
[05:48] FM: <what>
[05:48] FM: <well maybe>
[05:48] CV: Anyway I'm gonna check out the volcano thing
[05:48] FM: <okay>
[05:48] FM: <just be careful>
[05:49] FM: <remember, there is alchemy stuff in the NPC village I put down> > Mark: Head to the thing already damn it You make your way to the alchemy stuff in the village. You should alchemize some shit. > ==> Holy shit, the dragon pack is AWESOME. It's like some awesome flying shit. [05:49] FM: <so wings first>
[05:49] CV: Alright made the wings
[05:49] FM: <okay nice> > Mark: Put on sweet dragon pack It is pretty sweet. [05:50] FM: <so explore the volcano>
[05:50] CV: I'm looking around the place
[05:50] FM: <anything notable?>
[05:50] CV: Uh > ==> You've just reached the volcano and all you can see are caves. None of them look especially important. Shit. The last three caves didn't contain anything forge-like, just a bunch of grist. [05:51] CV: All I see are caves[05:51] FM: <okay>[05:51] CV: And like none of them lead to anything seemingly important[05:52] CV: Or at least the first three I checked[05:52] FM: <any loot>[05:52] FM: <any alchemy materials?>[05:52] CV: Uh...[05:52] CV: There's a bunch of grist in them[05:52] CV: So that's neat[05:53] FM: <any new types?>[05:53] CV: There's this weird green thing I think this might be the acid grist?[05:53] FM: <okay>[05:53] FM: <so I was correct>[05:53] CV: Yeah I'm pretty sure it's acid grist[05:53] FM: <every planet has its own "special" type of grist>[05:54] CV: What do you even acid grist for[05:54] FM: <yeah it is, I see it>[05:54] FM: <basically, grab a vial of acid>[05:54] FM: <from one of the pools>[05:54] FM: <then alchemize it with all your shit>[05:54] CV: Oh yeah I do have vials gimme a moment[05:54] FM: <that should require that acid grist>> Mark: Fly home You slash through your window grill and fly through your open living room window and and OH GOD DAMN IT. > ==> You take the imp eyeing your chemistry set and lob him into that river of acid outside your home. No way in hell you're letting him near it. > Mark: Get vial You get a vial. [05:54] CV: Alright I have returned to my home and got a vial
[05:55] FM: <okay>
[05:55] CV: Sits pretty neatly at the top of my modus, convenient
[05:55] FM: <nice>
[05:55] FM: <I doubt you have enough to upgrade your main sword, since it already has a fuckton of upgrades> > Mark: Go outside and get vial of acid Oh shit you almost dissolved your fingers. Good thing you didn't. [05:55] CV: So I'm taking a vial of acid
[05:55] CV: Maybe I can upgrade my other shadow knives
[05:56] FM: <maybe>
[05:56] FM: <see if you can do so to the dragon pack>
[05:56] CV: Good thing I captchalogued it before the acid could dissolve my fingertips
[05:56] CV: Also how would that work
[05:56] CV: Would it propel itself with acid or something
[05:57] FM: <no, but it will probably deal damage to everything attacking the wings provided the attack is not melee>
[05:57] FM: <plus>
[05:57] FM: <see that dragon HEAD>
[05:57] FM: <on the pack>
[05:57] CV: Oh
[05:57] CV: I see it
[05:58] CV: Also do you want the acid code
[05:58] FM: <if we can also alchemize with some kind of robot or anything to control the head>
[05:58] FM: <we can get a really good back turret>
[05:58] FM: <okat>
[05:58] FM: <okay*>
[05:58] CV: It's uh
[05:59] CV: H3S8O9S7
[05:59] FM: <thanks, I'll write it down>
[05:59] CV: Should I kill some more shit for more girst
[05:59] CV: *grist
[05:59] FM: <yeah>
[06:00] FM: <just don't fucking rush into a group of monsters like you did recently> > Mark: Continue using The Hand You test it on a Giclops, aiming at the eye, and get pulled towards it. Seems dependent on size. [06:00] CV: Just tested The Hand on a Giclops, I got pulled towards it.
[06:00] FM: <thank fucking god you got out of that one relatively unharmed>
[06:00] CV: Seems like it's dependent on size or mass or whatever
[06:00] FM: <yeah>
[06:00] FM: <I figured>
[06:00] CV: Man now I feel fat because of the ogre thing
[06:01] CV: Except I'm not actually fat
[06:01] CV: I hope
[06:01] FM: <why>
[06:01] CV: Because like I said the ogre and I were pulled towards each other
[06:01] FM: <I mena>
[06:01] CV: Instead of the ogre being pulled towards me
[06:01] FM: <mean*>
[06:01] FM: <this is the magic scroll power, right>
[06:01] CV: Yeah
[06:01] CV: I guess balance reasons or whatever
[06:02] FM: <so it probably reduces your gravitation towards whatever this is used on>
[06:02] FM: <by that I mean you get pulled less in general and enemies get pulled more>
[06:03] CV: Again, likely dependent on size because it kind of differs
[06:03] CV: Lie the imp gets pulled to me
[06:03] FM: <yeah>
[06:03] CV: but I get pulled to the Giclops' eye
[06:03] CV: Man killing shit is so easy now
[06:04] CV: Also I just realized I can use my dragon pack to fly above everything and rain knives
[06:04] FM: <inb4 even fucking stronger enemies that spam teleport>
[06:04] FM: <yeah>
[06:05] FM: <this is like fucking terraria mixed with fucking minecraft with a bit of isaac in real life or something>
[06:05] FM: <I mean>
[06:05] CV: I don't know shit about two of those games
[06:05] CV: But anyway SO. MUCH. GRIST. [06:05] CV: I'm soaked in griiiist
[06:06] FM: <nice>
[06:06] FM: <so get enough to upgrade your main sword - get some NPC quests done - next gate.>
[06:06] FM: <which also what I'm probably going to do>
[06:06] CV: Alright
[06:06] FM: <and whatever the fuck you do>

HAA HAA.
-===> Be Clem, yet again.
You are now CLEM HARDFORD yet again. But wow, isn't that sick rhyme? Anyway, let's get back on track. You left off entering THE MEDIUM, and you're acclimatized to your new environment. The LAND OF ART AND SILENCE. There seems to be VARIOUS ARTISTIC RENDITIONS of painting, statues and the like. You like it. You have also been pestered by IGOR, but it wasn't really relevant apart from the fact that LILY, the DREAM GIRL, has been talking to others. Quite a few INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS indeed. But, right now, you're going to farm GRIST and ALCHEMIZE SOME S-- Huh? You're getting PESTERED by a handle you don't recognize. You decide to take your chances and start chatting.
[11:25] -- iridiscentShaman [IS] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 23:25 --
[11:25] IS: Clem, what wOuld yOu think the Mage's sacrifice fOr knOwledge wOuld be?
[11:26] AA: ...Anything. Blindness, hearing loss. A sacrifice has many meanings and views.
[11:27] AA: It is a pleasure to meet you, must I add.
[11:27] AA: Even though we have not crossed paths before.
[11:27] IS: because I dOn't think it has tO dO with the Mage sacrificing a part Of himself...
[11:27] IS: he seeks ultimate knOwledge
[11:27] AA: I do wonder who you are referring to. Is it Igor you speak of?
[11:27] IS: sO what wOuld yOu think wOuld be the ultimate sacrifice?
[11:28] IS: What wOuld yOu think will he destrOy when he finds Out his failure is set in stOne befOre him?
[11:29] AA: ...These questions are things I cannot answer at this point in time. They are simply beyond my grasp of knowledge, despite the available resources. I cannot speak for him, nor anyone else when you do ask this. I do appreciate you coming to me for these inquiries, though.
[11:29] AA: He can destroy anything.
[11:29] IS: Very very well...
[11:30] AA: Although I am afraid I must tell you that I have to take my leave. I have recently entered the Medium and need to make posthaste. Thank you for contacting me.
[11:30] IS: ClOse tO yOur inevitable failure, I hear Skaia itself screaming in pain...
[11:30] AA: May we meet again, stranger.
[11:30] AA: As for your words...
[11:30] IS: DOn't yOu understand?
[11:30] AA: May they be true, I will take your word for it.
[11:30] AA: Goodbye.

-===> Clem: Freak out.
You refuse to freak out. This is easily explainable; this is probably a fellow 'dream' person. One similar to Lily. Although you're not really sure. Igor told you that Lily used to be part of a different session, so maybe it is able to be explained? Either way, you shrug and move on. -===> Clem: Alchemize some cool things.
First, you will need a lot more Grist to do so! Looking at your current Grist cache, you have two million Build Grist, but you feel like you need more. -===> Clem: Look through your house once more.
Checking through your house, you notice that there's a package next to the mailbox. You run towards it and pick it up, running back to your room. You wonder what could be in this rather large package. -===> Clem: Open it already!
Sheesh, okay. You quickly rip the tape that sealed the box apart with a scissor and open the folds. There's a boatload of BUBBLE WRAP in it, sheesh. You eventually see a slender sword, but not as slender as a KATANA, for example, along with a note. Dear Brother, also known as Clem HardfordI pass down this sword I have held onto for many years. I have decided that you would like it in your future efforts. While we might not know eachother that much, I am sure we will re-unite later. Thank you. HEE HEE.-Bro
Damn. Your brother really is cool. You've always looked up to him as he's a prodigal gaming developer, with his ESPECIALLY POPULAR GAME, Floppy Bird. You think he can make better, though. He sends some COOL GIFTS from time to time, but now he's really overdone it! He sent you HIS VERY OWN SWORD! You proudly dub it as BRO'S SWORD and smile widely. It's so finely-crafted, it's like an artistical masterpiece! Perfect. It really is. It also is a component for alchemization! How cool is that? -===> Clem: Now that you have a functioning weapon, start grinding Grist!
HECK TO THE YEAH. You also got a code for a dragon flying (jet)pack! Igor sent it to you, and you promptly alchemize it using the Alchemiter. DRAGON FLY-UP (JET)PACK obtained! You're now able to hover down to the lands below. How fortunate. There must be something to kill there. Let's go. -===> {S} Clem: Descend.While descending with your EPIC DRAGON WING JETPACK, you feel as if a similar thing has been done before. Probably just your mind doing weird things. Oh well. You arrive at the bottom. It's rather silent here, but there seem to be... Tiny dragons roaming around in the far-off distance, your consorts. But, you see Imps. -===> Clem: Do it.
You're gonna do it. You're gonna farm the Imps for Grist. Let's do this. -===> A few hours later...
After killing a countless amounts of Imps with various weird changes to them, you feel like you got sufficient Grist. They've been dropping different types, too. You've even slain some bigger Ogres. You noticed some of them had some properties of a cueball, for some reason. Was that a result of your prototyping? Ah, who cares. You decide to momentarily fly back to... -===> Clem: Alchemize!
...Do that. You sit down next to the Alchemizer after having obtained various items for alchemizing. Let's do this. Canvas && Bro's Sword = Artist's Best Friend
This piece of art has looks that can kill. Literally. You must say that it's quite an improvement from your bro's sword. It's now way more colorful and dangerous! Perfect. You make sure to save the captcha code of the original Bro's Sword for further alchemizing purposes.
5,000 Building Grist, 1,500 Shale Grist, 500 Amber Grist
Lucky you, you've got all the Grist types required and then some! You proceed to alchemize the Artist's Best Friend. You also climb a few rungs of the echeladder! Whimsical Taddledoer ==> Alchemize-y Alchemizer
Your GEL VISCOCITY and MANGRIT increases, and naturally, you gain a few BOONBUCKS for your efforts. How quiant!
You managed to get more cueballs from the garage. As well as your trusted DRAGON PLUSHIE!
You decide to expirement with a few cueballs. You wonder...
Cueball & Bro's Sword = Right on Cue
Jeebus, you're already able to tell from the price that this thing is really expensive. There are some types of Grist you haven't even collected yet. Maybe Gristtorrent would help relieve that issue. For now, all you can do is stare at it's glory. A long, white-colored blade which sparks with the occasional flash of...green, for some reason. The blade itself is ablaze with a white flame... Holy crap, it's cool.
2,000,000 Build Grist, 500,000 Chalk Grist, 250,000 ? , 25,000 ?
Seems like there are more types of Grist you have to discover. Oh well, once you do get them, you're alchemizing the FUCK out of this. You really are.
Time to see if you can combine a cueball with your current outfit.
Cueball && Regular Outfit = Cueball Scratch Outfit
So apparently using a cueball with your outfit results in a bad-ass flippin' suit. It's completely white, and it even comes with a neon green T-shirt under it. As well as some sort of bowtie of the same color. This would, without a doubt, look good on you.
999 Build Grist, 15 Chalk Grist.
You decide to alchemize it as well, making sure your old outfit is still intact for later use by getting a code of it. You stand up, gripping the ARTIST BEST'S FRIEND in hand. You feel CONSIDERABLY MORE BADASS with this new attire.
-===> Clem: Get back to grinding.
Before Clem is able to do anything else, it swaps back to the CHARACTER SELECTION SCREEN. Just when it was getting good!
HOO HOO.

>Be Igor. You are now Igor exactly where we left off. You are just done alchemizing some upgrades for your equipment and are ready to fly through the second gate... except that you are currently getting pestered by two people at the same time. One is Mark, and the other one is a chumhandle you don't recognize. Interesting. >Answer Mark. We have already seen this conversation. You don't know what to even think anymore. Before you know, yet ANOTHER person flies completely off the handle, goes leeroy jenkins into a swarm of powerful monsters(or god forbid the black queen or the denizen) and fucks the bloody thing up completely. Besides, the bloody thing isn't really your domain - you are a Mage of LIGHT, remember? Though you don't really know what that title REALLY means... yet. For now, you have this person with an unfamiliar chumhandle messaging you. Who the hell is this? AND HOW, FOR GOD'S SAKE, DID HE/SHE MANAGE TO GET YOUR CHUMHANDLE? >Answer the person with the unfamiliar chumhandle.

Apparently, Lily, Shay's dream guide, is a person from a completely different, failed session one of the denizens of which sent her here. She seems to be helpful so far, fulfilling an important part in Shay's plan to achieve "God Tier" by retrieving her dead dream self from Derse and securing it so that it can be revived via prototyping the sprite with it, supposedly fulfilling one of the main requirements. Though you are also a bit suspicious about Lily since it was shortly after the last conversation with her when Shay tried to rush in and kill the Black Queen. You have a feeling there is still a LOT untold... ...At some point during the conversation, you went to the nearest consort village and bought your first fraymotif - Exposition, which has proven itself really useful in navigating the mist. After that, you decide to message Clem and see what he knows about this whole situation with Lily. Not to mention a few other mysteries you've come across while alchemizing your upgraded gear... But first... >Gate 2. You fly up into the gate with your newly-crafted shadow dragon wings and end up at what seems to be Evan's land. Right on the roof of his house, as a matter of fact. There are large red pulsating rings and stripes in the black sky, which you are sure are NOT the gates... The area seems to be clear of any enemies so far - you figure Evan has held them back for the time being. >Fly up and pester Clem

[02:30] FM: <and I was like "what the fuck how did you get my chum handle" at first>
[02:31] AA: I was wondering how the was able to acquire mine, as well.
[02:31] FM: <did she tell you anything about the session she came from<other than the fact that her session didn't have prototypes yada yada yada>>
[02:31] FM: <by the way?>
[02:32] AA: ...No, she did not explain about her own session.
[02:32] FM: <okay>
[02:32] FM: <so she recovered Shay's dream corpse>
[02:32] FM: <and we can possibly pull a phoenix down on it by tossing it into the sprite>
[02:33] AA: Yes, she had said that to me as well.
[02:33] FM: <where are you currently, by the way?>
[02:33] FM: <I'm currently>
[02:33] FM: <at Evan's planet with all the weird pulsating rings and all that shit>
[02:33] AA: I am currently in the self-proclaimed "Land of Art and Silence." That would be my land.
[02:33] AA: In the Medium.
[02:33] FM: <where the 2nd gate has taken me>
[02:33] FM: <okay>
[02:34] FM: <what did you prototype, by the way?>
[02:34] AA: ...A cueball.
[02:34] FM: <so just that>
[02:34] AA: Yes. I am, however, planning to prototype something else.
[02:35] FM: <I don't even fucking know at this point what a prototyping like this would change>
[02:35] FM: <but I guess it's for the fucking better since the enemies don't get any new annoying abilities>
[02:35] AA: ...A cueball? Well, I would not know myself either. Although, in the guide, I have heard mentions of 'magic cue balls'.
[02:35] FM: <so what are you planning to prototype>
[02:35] FM: <what the hell are those>
[02:35] FM: <like of all billiards or like pool balls>
[02:35] AA: I would not know for certain. Apparently Seers are able to look into them and get any answer to anything they want.
[02:36] FM: <I've only heard of magic 8 balls>
[02:36] FM: <which are complete bullshit>
[02:36] AA: Sort of like those but actually accurate.
[02:36] FM: <this arises another question>
[02:36] FM: <where does the damn information come from>
[02:36] FM: <is it like a miniature fucking skaiacloud>
[02:37] FM: <provided it's real, of course>
[02:37] AA: I already told you it comes from a certain website, written by a certain 'RL'.
[02:37] AA: The information so far has been one-hundred percent legitimate.
[02:37] AA: I should not worry about the information being false if I were you..
[02:37] FM: <I mean the information coming FROM the magic cue balls, not ABOUT them>
[02:38] AA: They are true. This 'RL' was a Seer of Light herself.
[02:38] FM: <The RL guide seems to predict everything accurately so far>
[02:38] FM: <interesting>
[02:38] FM: <because my consorts are calling me a Mage of Light>
[02:38] AA: She had access to one of them. By means via a certain fellow named... 'Doc Scratch'. I have yet to find out who this fellow is.
[02:38] FM: <more fucking mysteries>
[02:39] FM: <and if the guide says that "Light players are able to look into Magic Cue Balls", and I'm what they call a "light player">
[02:40] FM: <since this is what the game calls me - the "mage of light">
[02:40] FM: <then if you EVER get your hands on what looks to be one>
[02:40] FM: <send me the code immediately>
[02:41] AA: It truly depends on what your inherent abilities are.
[02:41] FM: <so I can try and figure what the deal with THAT is>
[02:41] AA: 'RL' was able to because she had the fortunate combination of being a Seer of Light. A Mage of Light might work, but you will need to see if it works if you ever get your hands on one of them.
[02:41] AA: Though I doubt they exist in this very session.
[02:42] FM: <okay then>
[02:42] FM: <anyways>
[02:43] FM: <so the monsters seem to be dropping a LOT more fucking grist now>
[02:43] AA: Ah, yes.
[02:43] FM: <so you should be able to craft the dragon pack I made>
[02:43] AA: Each player entry tenfolds the Grist gain.
[02:43] FM: <Turns out, I was right>
[02:43] AA: Quite the exponential Grist growth. And what are you speaking of?
[02:43] FM: <about Alchemy being based on what the items resembles>
[02:43] FM: <basically>
[02:44] FM: <I'm currently flying through the skies of Evan's planet>
[02:44] FM: <using the dragon pack I created by combining the dragon plushie and a backpack>
[02:44] AA: Send me the code; I'll appreciate that.
[02:45] FM: <4jUSt1c3>
[02:45] FM: <here >
[02:45] FM: <you should have enough grist>
[02:46] FM: <to make it happen>
[02:46] FM: <next up>
[02:46] FM: <I'm going to send this code to EVERY other player so that they can get similar ways of fast transportation>
[02:46] FM: <what does your planet look like, by the way>
[02:48] AA: It's pretty...dark.
[02:48] FM: <this reminds me of Shay's planet or at LEAST how she described it>
[02:48] AA: It does contain a lot of artistic renditions of various things, though. A lot of fireflies light up the place here.
[02:49] FM: <thank god for that>
[02:49] AA: Oh, and thank you for the code.
[02:49] FM: <you're always welcome>
[02:49] FM: <anyways>
[02:49] AA: Considering I have a deposit of two million Build Grist, I should be fine.
[02:49] FM: <I have also just bought my first fraymotif, which has proven to be pretty fucking useful>
[02:50] AA: Where have you purchased said fraymotif?
[02:50] FM: <because it locally clears the mist>
[02:50] FM: <in the consort shop>
[02:50] FM: <in one of the,>
[02:50] FM: <them*>
[02:50] AA: Hm. Maybe I will find something of use there for myself.
[02:50] FM: <okay>
[02:50] FM: <one more thing>
[02:51] FM: <does this guide provide any information on these "titles" the consorts or guess the fucking game itself assigns to us>
[02:51] AA: Ah, yes. It does hold information on all of the titles and aspects.
[02:52] FM: <so what does mine mean, apart from "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" and other literal light magic>
[02:53] AA: Let me see. Hold on.
[02:54] AA: A mage is one who learns from, understands, or sacrifices for the knowledge of your aspect, which would be Light.
[02:54] FM: <okay>
[02:55] AA: Mages tend to have a much larger understanding of their aspect as they gain knowledge of what creates it though actively instigating.
[02:55] FM: <holy shit now THAT actually describes me pretty fucking well>
[02:55] AA: They do have a tendency to be brash and are much more suited for leadership roles as opposed to seers. They find the consequences through creating their aspect by instigating it. However, this leads to Mages often sacrificing certain parts of themselves for this knowledge.
[02:56] FM: <this is REALLY interesting to say the least>
[02:56] AA: You would be right.
[02:57] FM: <I guess it fits me, since my mind is often restless if I don't find the reason for something to happen>
[02:57] FM: <for something THAT HAPPENED>
[02:57] FM: <rather>
[02:57] AA: Well, the game has it's ways to find out.
[02:57] AA: Which is all the more intruiging.
[02:57] FM: <or greater purpose or fucking whatever>
[02:58] FM: <anyways>
[02:58] FM: <another point>
[02:58] FM: <and another fucking urgent one, to say the least>
[02:58] FM: <is that Lily may or may not be in danger>
[02:58] FM: <I just browsed through all of my past pesterlogs>
[02:59] FM: <And found THIS snippet in one of my last conversations pre-entry>
[02:59] FM: <FM: <I don't want to do this, but... I kinda have to break this string now :>> [05:05] FM: <Mrs.Dreamy is next.> [05:06] CA: Who's Mrs. Dreamy? [05:06] CA: Lily? [05:07] FM: <Sorry, I have to follow the rules> [05:08] FM: <I have already told you a bit too much :>> [05:08] CA: Are you messing with me? [05:08] CA: Yeah, it's Lily, isn't it?>
[03:00] AA: ...Did Lily somehow get access to your account? It looks like it.
[03:00] AA: Or I am misreading.
[03:00] FM: <it WASN'T Lily>
[03:00] FM: <you are misreading>
[03:01] FM: <basically>
[03:01] FM: <there was a pretty fucking long conversation with Evan>
[03:01] FM: <then I was knocked out by a mysterious intruder>
[03:01] AA: Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Ignore what I said, then.
[03:01] AA: I sometimes overthink.
[03:01] FM: <which has ultimately proven to save my life yadda yadda yadda>
[03:02] FM: <but really>
[03:02] FM: <I think these last few messages were written by that mysterious intruder, whoever the HELL that is>
[03:02] FM: <and like now after this conversation with Lily>
[03:03] AA: ...Hm. Someone must be interfering with the process.
[03:03] FM: <I'm leaning towards thinking it's another being from another session like Lily's>
[03:03] FM: <since he or she spoke about "the rules">
[03:04] AA: The main concern is how players from another session are able to cross over with ours.
[03:04] FM: <exactly>
[03:04] FM: <like... I don't even know what's past that little session bubble we are all in>
[03:05] FM: <because that DOES seem to be just a bubble and not an infinite space>
[03:05] FM: <because if it was an infinite space with other sessions existing IN it>
[03:05] FM: <then we would see stars in the sky>
[03:05] FM: <and we don't>
[03:05] FM: <so>
[03:05] AA: There is The Veil and the Furthest Ring, as well.
[03:06] AA: But those are subjects for another time. For now, our focus is assessing what is going on with Lily and making sure everyone is up to speed.
[03:06] FM: <okay>
[03:06] FM: <So Lily said she is a "Maid of Space">
[03:07] AA: One who assists, serves or restores her aspect. Which is Space.
[03:07] FM: <okay>
[03:07] FM: <one more thing>
[03:07] FM: <the Space aspect, >
[03:08] FM: <more precisely, its subtle meaning>
[03:09] AA: The subtle meaning of the Space aspect?
[03:09] FM: <yes>
[03:10] AA: Space is all about creation, physics and matter.
[03:10] FM: <like if the direct meaning is just "distance", "size", and everything that has to do with the fabric of spacetime and the general theory of relativity>
[03:10] FM: <okay>
[03:10] FM: <so the subtle meaning is "creation">
[03:10] AA: Let me quote a piece.
[03:10] AA: "Space players are always balanced-typical Prospit dreamers. This would make them a passive personality. Space players are intelligent, analytical, creative, and resourceful. Since they are Prospit dreamers, they are the least likely to go grimdark unless they have outside forces working against them. Space players are often very optimistic, often trying to make the best of certain situations, esp
[03:10] AA: ecially in regards to forge stoking and frog breeding. They are very aware of themselves and everything around them, so much so that they could be described as omniscient. They dream on Prospit from the moment they are born."
[03:11] FM: <wait a second>
[03:11] FM: <forge>
[03:11] FM: <frogs>
[03:11] FM: <Land of Acid and Frogs>
[03:11] FM: <has this thing called the "forge">
[03:11] AA: Yes.
[03:11] FM: <so Mark's aspect also seems to be space>
[03:12] AA: The Forge is a volcano, for your information. And yes.
[03:12] FM: <okay>
[03:13] FM: <another thing regarding one of my alchemy operations>
[03:14] FM: <basically, when I enhanced the smartphone into what I have now>
[03:14] FM: <not ONLY did it become near-unbreakable and have nearly infinite charge>
[03:15] FM: <but also a programming API was installed on it called the ~ATH API>
[03:15] FM: <also a bunch of developer environments and all that shit>
[03:15] FM: <BUT>
[03:16] FM: <you know another place where I saw the words "ath api?">
[03:16] FM: <the faulty sburb server I used to get Mark into the medium crashed with an error in said "ath api">
[03:16] AA: ...Hm?
[03:16] AA: ...Hm.
[03:16] AA: There were vague mentions of ~ATH.
[03:17] AA: Have you ever tried spelling it out fully?
[03:17] AA: TILDE ATH
[03:17] AA: TILDEATH
[03:17] FM: <TILL DEATH>
[03:17] AA: TIL DEATH.
[03:17] FM: <no wonder the book I used to alchemize looked like a fucking necronomicon>
[03:17] AA: Most noteably a reference to 'Til death do us part'.
[03:19] FM: <okay>
[03:19] FM: <so the important part is>
[03:19] FM: <understanding how this language works might be one of the most important things in breaking down how the GAME ITSELF works>
[03:20] FM: <since the ~ATH API seems to be heavily used by it>
[03:20] AA: It heavily uses bifurcation for some reason.
[03:20] FM: <huh>
[03:20] FM: <oh>
[03:20] FM: <painting your code blue and red does actually matter>
[03:21] FM: <or yellow and purple>
[03:21] AA: Yes.
[03:21] AA: They work hand in hand.
[03:22] FM: <because one of the example programs in the phone was this "Mobiiu2 Double Reacharound" thing that was just like what the fuck>
[03:22] FM: <it might as well explode unprotected computers like it claims it does>
[03:23] AA: It does, so take care.
[03:23] FM: <okay>
[03:23] FM: <My phone seems to have a protected environment for this kind of shit, and I'm obviously not dumb enough to send it to other people>
[03:23] FM: <so we are good>
[03:23] FM: <for the time being>
[03:24] AA: Good.
[03:24] FM: <So I guess see you later at gate 3>
[03:24] FM: <or whenever something interesting happens>
[03:24] AA: I suppose we will. However.
[03:24] FM: <what>
[03:25] AA: Expect me to have epic fuckin' loot. >8]
[03:25] FM: <yeah>
[03:25] FM: <see ya>
[03:25] AA: See you soon.
[03:25] -- alchemistsAssassin [AA] ceased pestering flamingMetalworks [FM] at 03:25 --
...That's really interesting. What special properties would a simple white ball even have, unless it's the "magic cue ball" Clem was talking about?... ...OH. THESE FUCKING PROPERTIES. You turn around to see a giant flying monster with a cue ball instead of a head who is apparently able to see you despite the lack of eye(s) and has just teleported up to you. It also has a faint flashing aura around it, different from the one that appeared when the ghost flew into the sprite. Time to test the new blades. |

You don't test the new blades as you are now Mark, getting pestered by someone you don't know! This one probably isn't that one guy who just pestered, gave a weird code and left. You don't want to elaborate, and you're not sure you can elaborate.

-===> Be Clem yet again.You are now CLEM HARDFORD yet again. In the meantime, you have prototyped your Cueballsprite with a dragon plushie, becoming a CUEDRAGONSPRITE. You find that it is pretty cute, and naturally, you like dragons, so you became good friends with it. Definitely a good partner. -===> Clem: Continue alchemizing, search for more materials.
You do think that searching for more materials is a good idea. You proceed to head up the ATTIC, a place you've rarely even visited. You walk upstairs and see a PECULIAR PAINTBRUSH lying on the ground. It is colored completely scarlet and pick it up. A weird sensation flows through you as you quickly CAPTHALOGUE it. Interesting for alchemizing, you suppose. You'd even say you can DISREGARD the CUEBALLS. -===> Alchemize some stuff with the PECULIAR PAINTBRUSH.
Heck yes. You like art a lot, but you're all but great at it. You're a bit decent, you suppose. Either way, you sit down at the alchemizer and start the ALCHEMIZATION PROCESS. Peculiar Brush && Sketchbook = Galaxy's Guide to Art
An exceptionally hard-covered book all about art.. The cover is rather hard, and it's splattered with all kinds of different colors. It's definitely better for smashing opponents than the Sketchbook you have! 10 Build Grist, 6 Amber Grist
Maybe this would just be useful for learning art? You have enough GRIST to make it anyway, so you go ahead and do just that. You obtained the GALAXY'S GUIDE TO ART!
Peculiar Brush && Bro's Sword = Scarlet Bloodstroke Blade
This blazing scarlet sword is as if it's on fire. Although, the fire is a darker shade than the sword, for some odd reason. But apart from that, this weapon looks epic as fuck, so do the flames, and it's probably very strong.
2,000,000 Build Grist, 500,000 Blood Grist, 250,000 Quartz Grist, 25,000 Garnet Grist
You actually managed to get enough GRIST, coupled with the GRISTTORRENT APPLICATION that was installed for everyone, to be able to alchemize this. It will take quite a bit of GRIST out of your current cache, but that's a sacrifice you're willing to take. You successfully alchemize the SCARLET BLOODSTROKE BLADE! You feel like you can own a lot with this. Bloodstroke Crimson Blade && Artistic Murder = Scarlet Void Tenebris BladeThe blade, made of one of the sharpest metals, shines with a dark scarlet red color. There are star-like shapes on the blade, too. The blade itself is still ablaze with a color darker than the blade itself, making it look that much more badass. God damn, it's awesome. 15,000,000 Build Grist, 5,000,000 Garnet Grist, 2,000,000 Blood Grist, 1,000,000 Neon Grist.
Jeez, this thing is expensive. You don't think you'll be able to gather this much GRIST for a while. At least, not for a bit. Sooner or later you'll have enough to actually make this, and you'll probably own even harder. You're not even sure which kind of powers this thing have.
Peculiar Brush && Regular Outfit = The Scarlet KillerHow classy. A scarlet suit finished with a white T-shirt underneath along with a fitting tie, pants and shoes. This makes you feel like you're drenched in the finest blood. Probably an overstatement, but ah well. It looks great on you either way. 150 Build Grist, 50 Garnet Grist. You immediately alchemize this and wear it instead of the other suit. This has a stylish, scarlet suit, pants and shoes included, along with a white T-shirt underneath and a FITTING TIE. There's even a silhouette of a paintbrush embedded on the suit in a lighter red shade. Fitting. Peculiar Brush && Shades = Scarred Scarlet ShadesBesides these shades being scarlet, there seem to be a few cracks on them. Despite that, you're just able to see fine through them. Probably for dramatic effect. 300 Build Grist, 150 Garnet GristThese go very well with your outfit. You immediately alchemize them and switch your suit and shades with your new ones. Your FICTIONAL BADASS-O-METER has gone up by INFINITE. Not really, but you get the idea. Now that you're all geared up, you can finally proceed with farming. -===> Wait a second.
You're getting pestered by someone. Huh...? [??:??] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at ??:?? -- |

> Mark: Be you from the future You are now Mark in the future, but only because you do not have access to a pesterlog/dialoglog you had with Lily. Basically you had another conversation with Lily, this time about Prince of Space and gates and sprites and yadda yadda whatever. Also you have no idea where this is. There's like another tall building outside the window but you don't know shit. Maybe this is Igor's place but you don't fucking know. Huh? Oh shit, Clem's pestering you! > Mark: Answer Clem [09:01] -- alchemistsAssassin [AA] began pestering chemicallyVoidarmy [CV] at 21:01 --
[09:01] CV: Oh, hey Clem.
[09:01] CV: How're you holding up?
[09:01] AA: {I see you have made it past the second gate and on to Igor's planet. I commend you on that part. } > ==> What? Looks like Clem's text got a colour change. He's also... more formal? Wait, how does he know where you are? > ==> [09:02] CV: Whoa, what's with your text colour?
[09:02] CV: And how did you know?
[09:03] AA: {Ah, yes. I suppose there's a few matters that need to be discussed here. I have made a deal with a certain fellow named ´C´. He prefers I call him Connor.}
[09:03] CV: I have no idea who that is
[09:03] AA: {He granted me certain powers in exchange I do something that I cannot currently discuss. Consider it a spoiler, if you will.}
[09:03] CV: Lily's rules all over again, huh?
[09:04] AA: {Lily has her reasons. Our reason is that clarifying the reason as to why I cannot discuss this would be revealing what the game leads up to.}
[09:04] AA: {I simply cannot do that.}
[09:04] CV: Huh, okay.
[09:05] CV: Also I know you're usually formal but you're sounding a whole lot more formal right now.
[09:05] AA: {He granted me something along the lines of semi-omniscience and semi-omnipotence, along with some other powers. And, yes, the formality of said speech has been improved somewhat.}
[09:06] AA: {I am rather glad you noticed.}
[09:06] CV: I'm... not sure if that's a thing, but okay.
[09:06] CV: So you're really strong right now, I guess?
[09:06] AA: {The primary reason I contacted you first is on grounds that you are important to this plan that C. has constructed.} > ==> [09:07] CV: Oh.
[09:07] CV: What sort of plan would that be?
[09:07] AA: {To exposit more on that, your class and aspect are of very important purpose. The plan, as I said, will require me to talk about upcoming events.}
[09:07] AA: {Which, yet again, I would rather not do.}
[09:08] CV: So... my Prince of Space-ness is important to... this guy's plan?
[09:08] AA: {Yes. One thing I can say, though.}
[09:08] AA: {This plan is essential to saving the players in this very session.}
[09:08] CV: Oh.
[09:09] CV: So there's a great danger looming ahead?
[09:09] AA: {You could call it that, yes.}
[09:09] AA: {Although said danger is what brings us a new chance.}
[09:09] AA: {You will eventually figure out what that means once everyone has entered and the game has progressed.}
[09:09] CV: Oh...
[09:10] CV: I don't know what that entails, but okay.
[09:10] AA: {It is a good thing that you do not yet.}
[09:11] CV: That's not very comforting.
[09:12] AA: {Worry not. As long as the plan goes exactly as planned, there is ultimately nothing to fear.}
[09:13] CV: Should I start the planning thing?
[09:14] CV: Like are there any steps I should take right now?
[09:15] AA: {No, there are not. You will have to work with me later, but not at this very moment.}
[09:15] CV: Alright then.
[09:16] CV: Can you specify more about this "semipotence"? What CAN you do?
[09:16] AA: {Let us just say that C is capable of seeing everything that WILL happen and has happened.}
[09:17] CV: Huh, okay.
[09:18] AA: {Although, for now, I will have to halt this conversation. I will need to make progress.}
[09:19] AA: {Goodbye for now, Mark. }

And given the time limit that you heard about from Igor... which HE heard about from Clem, you probably don't have time to swoon over Clem's more formal manner of speaking. > Mark: Go kill shit Well, you got nothing to do, so might as well kill shit. > ==> GOD. DAMN IT. These enemies have cue balls for heads, and for SOME REASON they've gotten a lot smarter. They're also teleporting an asston, and you've only been able to kill one so far. > Mark: Become homoerotically interested in Clem We established you did that weeks ago, shitforbrains! > Mark: Pester Igor Fine, you ought to do that anyway. > ==> [12:40] -- chemicallyVoidarmy [CV] began pestering flamingMetalworks [FM] at 00:40 --

[12:44] FM: <the monsters on my planet will drop crystal grist>
[12:45] CV: I'm not sure if upgrading my weapons will deal with spam teleportation
[12:45] FM: <if you hit them fast enough, then it doesn't matter>
[12:45] CV: Did you prototype a second thing in your sprite yet? I forgot to ask
[12:45] FM: <they still can't spam it fast enough>
[12:45] FM: <nope>
[12:45] FM: <I'm saving it for something else>
[12:45] FM: <later in the game>
[12:45] CV: Still looking for "The One"?
[12:45] FM: <basically>
[12:46] FM: <the monsters just got smarter with this prototyping, the only thing that seems to give them the actual teleportation ABILITY is the ghost>
[12:46] FM: <or at least I fucking hope so>
[12:48] FM: <so basically>

[12:55] FM: <the alchemy equipment is here down the newly-constructed staircase.>

[12:56] FM: <also>
[12:56] CV: Yeah?
[12:56] FM: <I just realized how you could REALLY effectively use your fraymotif>

[12:59] CV: Also I should mention I recently found out 'Prince of Space' was referring to ME.

[12:59] CV: Sweet
[01:00] CV: And apparently Lily is a maid of space.
[01:00] CV: She told me
[01:01] FM: <it is called "exposition" and it creates this flash of light energy that both clears the mist and blinds the enemies around me>
[01:01] CV: That's fucking awesome

[01:03] FM: <what it REALLY means is actively uncovering my aspect>

[01:04] FM: <and clem said that in my case, "light" translates to "truth">
[01:04] CV: Also just a few minutes ago I was pestered by Clem
[01:04] FM: <we have determined that you are a space player just like Lily>
[01:04] FM: <what did he say>
[01:05] CV: He said something about how me being a Prince of Space was important to 'saving the players of this session'
[01:05] FM: <that's interesting>
[01:05] CV: He didn't elaborate further
[01:05] CV: Are there any more vague prophecies I should know about?

[01:09] FM: <Remember what the White Queen of Prospit was talking about when we met her?>
[01:09] CV: Yeah?
[01:09] FM: <Or your/mine/any of the players' consorts' main quests?>

At least, I think.[01:18] FM: <so far, we have: "Mage of Light", "Prince of Space", "Maid of Space">[01:18] CV: Space seems to have awesome movement powers[01:18] FM: <Light means truth and knowledge, space literally means space, but also creation>[01:18] CV: Huh[01:19] FM: <there is probably a Time aspect too>[01:19] CV: That would only make sense[01:19] CV: Given that paradoxes are a thing[01:19] FM: <yeah>[01:20] FM: <Space is also closely related to physics and viewing the system as a whole>[01:21] CV: Okay...[01:21] FM: <Time, from my speculations, would be closely related to the concept of entropy, and thus, destruction>[01:21] CV: Alright then[01:21] FM: <okay>[01:22] FM: <the next point>[01:22] CV: Yeah?[01:22] FM: <is other session>[01:22] FM: <sessions*>[01:22] CV: What about other

super risky and could result in death[01:43] CV: Though Lily has clarified it's simply that Shay doesn't know how true it is[01:44] CV: She knows how true it is, but the rules prevent her from saying.[01:44] CV: Have you figured out what exactly that is?[01:44] FM: <okay>[01:44] FM: <probably more leeroy jenkins bullshit>[01:44] FM: <I mean>[01:44] FM: <there are plenty of candidates so

Something strikes you as odd. Clem said that your class AND aspect will be important to saving the players of the session. Igor believes your main quest will be important in completing this game. Igor also interprets your main quest as what saves the players. This holds some water, given that Lily, a Maid of Space, did not have a Forge and was thus unable to win. However, Lily KNOWS what a Forge is. It's more likely she was unable to win her game due to a lack of prototyping rather than her class differing from your own. Your first fraymotifs are also different; Lily's first fraymotif involves "zoomy powers", allowing her to travel all the way from Derse to your planet. Your first fraymotif involves erasing the space between you and an object or enemy, with who going to what depending on size. Igor also mentioned space not only refers to literal space, but also creation. Igor's quest involves the light, given that he has to kill or purify his Denizen, who used to be responsible for keeping the crystals on his planet lit. Your mission is most likely related to Space, which relates to literal space AND creation. Since a quest based on literal space wouldn't make sense, your best guess will involve the creation of something. Igor's class doesn't seem to be related to completing his quest, though; a Mage uncovers his aspect, but his quest is to just kill or purify his Denizen by any means necessary. If you extrapolate from there, it means that your class isn't important in your main quest. There comes the contradiction. As you've thought before, Clem said your class AND aspect will be important in saving the players of the session. If your class is important to saving all the players, then it cannot possibly be the main quest. Something is very, very wrong here. If completing your main quest; one that is necessary for the entire session to succeed, mind you, isn't the mission to complete to save the players, then... then... Oh no. No no no no no. For a moment you try to comfort yourself, but you remember that Clem had gained near-omniscience from 'C'. Is he trying to warn you that the session will fail? You get ready to continue your killing spree, but you still feel that bit of unease. The killing should help keep that thought off your mind, but once you get through the third gate, you have a LOT of questions for Clem... ===TO BE CONTINUED==> |

Meanwhile, a Dersite agent is returning from the misty planet. He reports that his mission there is complete, the target has been successfully disarmed and captured, and any transportalizers leading from the planet to Derse have been rigged with explosives and are ready to be detonated once he returns. All except one, which is hidden well enough to not worry about for the time being. The Archagent tells him to not leave a single transportalizer around, but it's too late: the agent has already returned, and the bombs have gone off. >Be the Archagent. You are now Archagent JACK NOIR. Even though your latest missions have ended in complete success, you are irritated no less than usual. Mostly due to those despicable green clothes and the white mask the Black Queen has recently forced you to wear. You swear, you'd rather get dressed up as a clown than wear this unbelievably stupid outfit. >Take the green clothing off yourself and rip it apart. You would very much like to do that, except the Queen will kill you if you don't abide by the dress code. >See what your agents are up to. One of your agents, the DRACONIAN DIGNITARY, has recently managed to capture the sleeping THIEF OF MIND from Prospit and bring him here to Derse. As expected, she broke out of jail due to the guards being COMPLETE MORONS. The ninja girl then tried to assasinate the Black Queen herself and was quickly destroyed. And honestly, it would have been even better if the assassination attempt had succeeded. The other one, the COURTYARD DROLL, has just returned from a mission, having captured a human that, according to a MYSTERIOUS SOURCE OF INFORMATION you have, has some important information regarding the Heroes and especially the MAGE OF LIGHT. With the help of the third agent, the HEGEMONIC BRUTE, the human has been knocked out, disarmed and brought here for interrogation. >Interrogate. You then proceed to try and interrogate the captured human, demanding him to tell everything he knows about the Heroes... with no success. Even despite all your threats to stab him until he bleeds to death or to call the Hegemonic Brute to torture him, he still is yet to say a single word. Suddenly, something falls on the floor from his pocket... >Pick it up. Now THIS is quite an... interesting turn of events. If this small stone tablet is what you think it is, then you can finally say goodbye to this putrid green clothing and the Queen's orders in general. You will just need a good enough source of energy... You order to throw the human in the cell. You will take care of him and the information he has later; it's probably not going to be all that important anymore considering what you have now... |

{c} For now, let's just see what an ordinary for a session, but nevertheless important Dersite is up to. You are now Jack Noir. You have returned to your OFFICE after conducting the interrogation, and are ready to go back to your usual job... for the time being. Which, to your eternal irritation, consists of processing the most tedious paperwork in the entire kingdom...no, in the entire incipisphere. Every single request, report, confirmation or citation in the kingdom eventually ends up here on your desk, and quite a large pile has already accumulated while you were away commanding your agents and conducting interrogations. The very look of that pile makes you angry. You'd simply burn it down, except the Queen would kill you if you did. Now you REALLY wish that this Thief of Mind had brought better weapons with her. Or that you could figure out how this damn stone tablet artifact works. Speaking of the artifact, you need to make hell of a sure that the Queen never lays her hands on it. >Examine fenestrated walls in your office. The Archagent's Office contains four FENESTRATED WALLS, which allows you to watch over the kingdom and provides you with a comprehensive view of the incipisphere. Here is the Draconian Dignitary, currently on Prospit awaiting orders, here is the transportalizer that idiothead Courtyard Droll considered "unnecessary" to blow up, here are the Thief of Mind, the Mage of Light and the Page of Blood fighting your underlings... >Examine fourth wall.  Unfortunately, the fourth FENESTRATED WALL has been broken for a long time already. All it shows is static, and the control panel of the wall is entirely non-functional. These cracks on the bottom left window, though, seem to have some... strange properties. >Turn it on.  This big white hole is only present when you turn the wall on. It is an actual hole and not just an image on the screen, and you can put any object into it and retrieve it later. >Put the artifact into the hole and pull the plug on the 4th wall. The artifact is now stored on the other side of the wall, and is completely undetectable from this side as long as the wall itself stays off. >Receive a message from the Mystery Agent. The Mage of Light will be extremely dangerous to your plans because of his undying curiosity and the fact that he can't be distracted or fooled as easily as the others. Not to mention that he is planning a coordinated assault on Derse along with the rest of the party. The Page of Blood and the Prince of Space are easily distracted and should be no problem to deal with.
Don't do anything in regards to the heroes on Derse's moon yet. Assassinating them or blowing up their towers will just cause unnecessary noise, not to mention the Knight of Void is out of reach in the Furthest Ring most of the time.
The Stone will be useless for now, but you will be able to use it as a weapon against both the Black and the White Queen later, under different circumstances. This mysterious agent has done a very good job of gathering information about the Heroes of this session necessary to successfully execute your recent plans. Even though you don't know who he is, he seems trustworthy so far... >Contact your agents and forces. You order the Courtyard Droll to join the Draconian Dignitary on Prospit and rig the heroes' towers with explosives while the Draconian Dignitary himself ensures that there are no witnesses. You then command as much of your underlings as possible to LOMAP to make sure none of them wake up. What could possibly go wrong? |

You are now- Huh? Who are these people? You don't think you've seen them before. One of them looks like... for lack of a better description, Madame Murel except less fat, not something out of the 1920s, probably a lot more kindly and not an artist. Not in the same sense as Madame Murel, but she won't argue technicalities. Also, she has no hat. > ==> Sitting dangerously close to a GIANT LAKE OF CORROSIVE FUCKING ACID is... well, definitely human. He just kind of looks like a creepy asshole with the way his eyes shift. And his erratic jittering. > Lady: Enter Name Wow are you serious I know she looks younger than the average woman in her forties but you already know she has Madame Murel as a template of course she has a name alreadyThe lady shooshes the Narrator, and lets you know that you may call her Mrs. Ferrous. Suddenly, she rushes off! > Mrs. Ferrous: See what the hell is going on Well, you're stuck on an acid planet, that's one thing. But more importantly, you heard you brother screaming. Granted, you hear that all the time whenever you visit him and something he doesn't expect spooks him. He's not exactly well in the head for reasons you can't discern. Still, you love your brother, so you rush towards him. > MF: Meet up with your brother You encounter him flipping the fuck out. Same ol' Sean, of course. Of course, he would prefer to be called 'Uncle Sean', but his nephew has some issues with his uptight behaviour, and you're not his niece. Oh yeah, you have a son. You didn't mention that, you think. > EXPOSITION What's even there to exposition about? Your son's name is Mark, and he's a nice young boy who does chemistry stuff. How he manages to support his hobby and occasionally even give money to you is hella shady, but what can you say, it's not super awful. > ==> You brother flips the fuck out again in his disagreement. He rattles on about a bunch of shit about how this is actually Hell and it was because of Mark that they're going to get caught by the authorities. What a load of horseshit. If anything, it's the circumstances of Mark himself that would do it, so why bother about the chemistry stuff? > ==> Your argument doesn't really go anywhere for the next few hours. It's hopeless: your brother thinks authorities are after you both, you point out you're stranded in a place filled with TONS OF ACID POOLS and your brother keeps insisting they're hiding. And if you're going nowhere, no point in staying to watch, right? |

> WRONG You finally stopped arguing with your brother and have started exploring the land. So far, you haven't found much. Except for caves full of weird stuff. You call them every Fruit Gusher ever discontinued. Your brother thinks they hold some sort of ominous secret. > ==> You can't figure out any right answer, but you agree not to eat them. They were on the ground anyway. > MF: Hold the fuck up What the hell are those outside the cave and why are they massive Eagle Cueball Auradog Teddy Snowcats > ==> Their flying towards you tells you and your brother that they are ENEMIES. Well, shit. You quickly take a big pot from your Problemkind Specibus and swing at them, but it teleported away! In hindsight pot/sledgehammer duality is kinda shitty. Time to play unconventional. > MF: Wait shit something in one of your modi You place down your Purse and take your SHITTY POTTED PLANT MODUS, before lobbing a Gas Tank at it. That thing was about to drop in your purse and the last thing you want is destroyed modus crap everywhere. You score a direct hit somehow. It doesn't seem to expect you to not use weapons, and flees. Your brother, meanwhile, swings wildly with his shovel but to no avail. > ==> In fact, he's being taken away by the one he was fighting. You don't have any weapons in your Specibus that are ranged, sadly. > MF: Stare into the distance You're not entirely sure what just happened. Your brother's gone now. You think. It's taking a while to process... > SF: Beat your opponent to death You are clouded by your fear and do so while over a GIANT OCEAN OF ACID. This unsurprisingly results in your death. You knew Mark would be nothing but trouble, bringing you into this harsh, scary landscape. > MF: Realize you have no idea where Mark is Wait, where even IS your son? Oh no. You're going to have to look for him, or civilization, whatever that's out there. It's better that you get searching. And maybe shove your recent loss to the back of your mind. |

Elsewhere, years into the future (and actually quite many)... Through random mashing of buttons, an angry, panicked lady mashes buttons on a control panel. She stops when she sees... someone on the screen. > WHO'S THIS DOUCHEBAG? He seems to be holding a large, shadowy blade in his hands, with dragon wings on his back as he hovers in the air. His goggles were glowing a little bit earlier, but now they're translucent. You aren't exactly sure what's going on, but you're going to observe him for now. You know damn well how to beat these little bastards, and you're going for the kill. You find it pretty easy to spin around in the air, but you find yourself relying on ZA HANDO to close in on enemies, simply because flying is a bitch and balancing is hard. They're smart enough to attack in groups, but who would you be without your TRUSTY KNIVES? > Mark: CHECKUMATOU DA You throw your trusty knives at them, and they all teleport away. Of course, they forget that your sword is lighter than before, and teleport into the knife you extend. Sure, they learned from it, but their reaction time isn't instantaneous or anything. You take quite the beating, but you make it out alive. > ==> The climb up your echeladder is a slow and painful one. GOOOOOD. In any case, you have questions for Clem. > Mark: Pester Clem You will get answers, damn it all! [12:26] -- chemicallyVoidarmy [CV] began pestering alchemistsAssassin [AA] at 00:26 --

[12:27] AA: {Yes, Mark?}
[12:27] CV: I have questions regarding this mission.
[12:27] CV: Especially regarding the saving the players part.
[12:27] CV: Is our session doomed to fail?
[12:28] AA: {Ah, such a question I can answer.}
[12:28] AA: {You could say so, yes.} > ==> You knew it. You fucking called it, but you were too afraid to believe it. You wanted to believe Igor so badly, but you can't. Right there is undeniable proof that you're all doomed, unless you do your special mission thingie. [12:28] CV: Fuck, I should've known. I was hoping Igor was right, but all the signs pointed to this.
[12:28] CV: How exactly will my class be important in saving everyone?
[12:29] CV: After all, you mentioned my class and aspect were important, and as far as I can tell my class isn't important for the main mission
[12:29] CV: And I have NO IDEA what a 'Prince' does.
[12:30] AA: {Ah. In this perspective, you and I need to work together to reach a solution to save everyone from a certain event known as the Scratch.}
[12:30] AA: {I will not delve further into what 'the Scratch' is, however.}
[12:30] CV: Fair enough. I at least know that it is not my main quest.
[12:31] CV: And not related to the Speaker of the Vast Croak, at least as far as I can tell.
[12:31] CV: Again, what exactly does my class do?
[12:31] AA: {Your main quest would be to give birth to the Genesis Frog. Through extensive breeding, that is.}
[12:31] CV: Unless it is so terribly important you must hide my class's function from me.
[12:32] CV: Genesis Frog, huh? That one definitely seems important.
[12:32] AA: {It is. Although, that's all I can really say about it. }
[12:33] CV: Okay.
[12:33] CV: Again, what does a Prince do?
[12:34] CV: I know a Mage uncovers their aspect.
[12:34] CV: But what about a Prince?
[12:35] AA: {Ah, yes, a Prince.}
[12:36] AA: {One who destroys, or destroys with their aspect.}
[12:36] AA: {In your case, Space.}
[12:36] CV: So... I can destroy Space or destroy using Space, huh?
[12:36] AA: {Technically, yes.}
[12:37] CV: That explains a lot about my fraymotif.
[12:37] AA: {Why, yes. It would seem so.}
[12:38] CV: I'm heading up to the Third Gate now.
[12:38] AA: {Affirmative.}
[12:38] CV: The new enemies are easier with my fraymotif, but still fairly tough.
[12:39] AA: {I am currently able to strike every enemy down with a single hit.}
[12:39] CV: Jeez, how did you get so powerful?
[12:39] AA: {My Scarlet Bloodstroke Blade.}
[12:39] CV: Hm. Sounds cool.
[12:40] AA: {It was quite expensive, but worth it. Along with just new powers in general.}
[12:40] CV: I'm still a bit worried as to how I can save the others.
[12:40] CV: I don't feel all that powerful.
[12:41] AA: {I'm not able to beat anything too strong, though with a lot of effort, I might be.}
[12:42] AA: {'too strong' such as beings like the Black Queen.}
[12:42] CV: Ah. > Mark: One last question [12:45] CV: One last question.
[12:49] AA: {...Ask me, then.}
[12:49] CV: When are we going to meet face to face?
[12:49] CV: Like, what gate would I have passed by then?
[12:49] AA: {Sooner than you'd think, I reckon.}
[12:50] CV: Fair enough.
[12:50] CV: See you later, then?

>SUDDEN PERSPECTIVE SHIFT You are now Igor. You are currently on LOMAP, grinding mobs to reach the top of the echeladder as quickly as possible and hopefully achieve the mysterious "God Tier" Shay was talking about. Speaking of Shay, she and Evan are also here. Your group separated a few minutes ago, with you deciding to fight monsters on the surface and complete NPC quests while Evan and Shay are exploring the caves... ...And now that you are alone, after another group of monsters slain, you feel like it's the right time to think about and summarize everything that happened to you and your friends as of recently...
CFM RIGHT NOW opened memo on board THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
CFM: <Okay so.>
CFM: <Suddenly, it's a quiet hour there.>
CFM: <Nobody's online... though I guess that's for better.>
CFM: <I mean, if everybody sees this in the future and what I'll proceed to say below isn't true...>
CFM: <then either a> I was mistaken and this "session" is not fucked up after all or b> it's even more fucked up that I think it is>
CFM: <than* goddamnit>
CFM: <though the latter implies that I was at least partially right, but whatever.>
CFM: <So anyways.>
CFM: <Look at this situation we have here.>
CFM: <We live our lives like normal... then BAM OUT OF NOWHERE METEORS ARE RAINING AND THERE IS A REAL VIRTUAL REALITY GAME WE GOTTA ENTER TO SAVE OUR ASSES>
CFM: <And like you can already smell the bullshitometer skyrocketing through the fucking roof RIGHT HERE, but OH NO IT JUST HAS TO GET WORSE.>
CFM: <First of all, the reason my ass manages to get saved is because of another set of oddly specific and unlikely circumstances>
CFM: <The flat, the game copies on that "Prospit" planet, the stranger...>
CFM: <Then I am apparently the one to get into the basement in the past and activate the generator necessary for me to run the game in the first place>
CFM: <So like if I'm not going insane<and I fucking might be at this point>, then weird time shit is suddenly involved to>
CFM: <and OH YEAH NOT TO MENTION THE METEORS IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW...kinda>
CFM: <But even then... you know what I'd be fine with that, after malfunctioning a couple times, my mind would just interpret all that as this game - or this dimension, rather, having a mind of its own.>
CFM: <But there are also some little things, I tell you, some LITTLE FUCKING BIG THINGS, that really set the bullshit standard sky-high.>
CFM: <You see, I have a strong feeling that this isn't how this "game" is supposed to go.>
CFM: <I simply don't feel like we're supposed to get that much information that early.>
CFM: <I mean, it has been only like... a couple hours or so?>
CFM: <We haven't even reached the halfway point in this game's progression, or at least I don't think so...>
CFM: <...and we already know about some of the shit that I thing belongs WAY in the endgame...>
CFM: <And you know what, I'd be fine with even THAT... if only if it were to come from the game itself.>
CFM: <Sure, it would mean that the game has some fucking sick sense of humour...>
CFM: <...but at least that would be the SUPPOSED way to learn about it...>
CFM: <But no. All of our information comes from questionable sources...>
CFM: <...and suddenly the entire story of the game is fucking irrelevant, replaced by whatever the hell is written in {CLEM'S SUPER SECRET ZILLION PAGE GUIDE TO A WORLD-DESTROYING GAME AND OH YEAH EVERYTHING IS DOOMED ANYWAY} >
CFM: <Or at least it's like that if both Mark is right and Clem's guide speaks the complete truth.>
CFM: <I mean, what's the point of this entire "Prospit and Derse Royal Clownade Now with 100% More Meteors" if we have to get the fuck outta here anyway at some point, WITHOUT the involvement of the aforementioned clownade?>
CFM: <It's an abandoned plot thread, and it just DOESN'T FUCKING BELONG HERE.>
CFM: <Maybe I'm not an expert at video game plots, but if THIS is how it is supposed to go from the very start in EVERY "session" of this game... then it just doesn't make sense.>
CFM: <Besides, there is like every other sign there showing outside tampering.>
CFM: <Lily, Clem's guide, that weird fucking shaman creep...>
CFM: <I can't help but feel like this is all a part of some bigger scheme...>
CFM: <Well, at least Clem's guide, not to mention Clem has been acting pretty damn strange recently.>
CFM: <The "shaman" would feel like another bullshit apocalypse prophet... if not for the exact fucking situation we have ended up in.>
CFM: <Lily has been helpful, though there might be something wrong with her, too...>
CFM: <And what do we have in the end, after receiving so much information?>
CFM: <That's right: a sea of questions with exactly ZERO answers.>
CFM: <Oh yeah, and a whole bunch of fucking "maybe"s mixed in too.>
CFM: <Like maybe this is how it was supposed to go all along. Maybe I'm completely wrong and we can still win the way we are supposed to, whatever the fuck would it be. Maybe it's just part of this place's... what was it, again? Sick sense of humour?>
CFM: <...I guess only time will show.>
CFM ceased responding to memo.
FUTURE flamingMetalworks [FFM] 24:00 HOURS FROM NOW responded to memo.
FFM: <Well you are wrong. Kinda.>
FFM ceased responding to memo.
CURRENT flamingMetalworks [CFM] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CFM: <Oh great. More quesitons.>
CFM: <questions* GODDAMNIT>

...I guess it will. {END OF ACT 1} Years in the future(but not many)...A mysterious traveller ventures through the deserted ruins of a formerly great city. The wind is blowing through the empty windows, through the barren skeletons of steel and concrete covered with snow - the remnants of the formerly flourishing civilization. The traveller stops for a second and looks around, sweeping the ruins with his sight, looking for something... or somebody. It's cold. The traveller looks up for a second to watch the flakes of a white substance still alien to him slowly descend and dance in the air, picked up by the howling wind... He then continues his never ending search, lost himself and shaking from the cold... ...Suddenly, he stumbles upon something extending out of the snow carpet. Something hard and metallic... Curious, he tries to dig it up, revealing a hatch... >MT: Open the hatch.A ladder is revealed, leading deeper into a mysterious underground structure. The light from outside illuminates an open passage at the very bottom... >MT: Descend.He climbs down the steel ladder, his hands almost burning from the cold of the metal, and walks into the passage at the bottom. It is revealed to be a quite large room, cold and completely dark with only a few dim red lights flashing on one of the walls... ==>He walks up to one of the lights. It is revealed to be a large terminal with eight screens and a computer keyboard illuminated by the red glow... >MT: Press a random key.Suddenly, the main lights turn on. On the other side of the room, a large panel with an all too familiar symbol is revealed... One of the terminal screens flashes and lights up too, with an image of a young man in sunglasses and a black T-shirt, wielding strange purple-glowing blades, standing on dark purple ground... >MT: ">Hello?" |

Years into the future, but not many... relative to Mark Ferrous, at least. This is complete horseshit, she thinks to herself. The heat is unbearable, and the humidity only makes it worse. Her lip quivers in frustration. She seems to be quite the agitated damsel. > AD: Keep walking. There has to be SOMETHING in the distance She runs forward in hopes that she can find someone, ANYONE. She found a boat earlier, but even if there was water, there was no one in it, and it wasn't actually a boat. Who built this shit? Suddenly, she finds her foot in a thick, grungy, and oily substance. What has she- > AD: OH MY GOD WHAT THE EVER LIVING FUCK IS THIS THING She panics at the sight of the horrid blob. She can't help but feel dizzy. But wait, what is that on the horizon? Could it be...? > ==> It is! It is the visage of The Glorious Speaker! Though still rather frightened, she attempts to steel her nerves and investigate the black blob. Hm... Why is there a button on it? > AD: Push button Augh, gross and weird! Still, it seems to have taken a more cohesive form. It's more pristine now, and more importantly, feels better to the touch. What is this door, though? > AD: Open door She was about to do that, but it seems to be automatic, opening as she approaches it! It seems to have been concealing an underground area. Thinking about the true geometry of the station causes her to panic! She falls into the shaft with the ladder. > AD: Grab onto the ladder A last minute grip on the ladder prevented her from turning into a red paste as she stumbles across a room with a computer. It seems rather square in comparison, but the walls outside... > AD: Flip the fuck out Her over-contemplating nature causes her to flip the fuck out and mash the keys of the keyboard, until she finds... > AD: "> WHO'S THIS DOUCHEBAG?" |

>MT: "Hello there..." He only shakes his head for some reason and then goes back to his business. A group of underlings teleports up to him, however, after just a few swings of the boy's blades, it is gone in a flurry of crystal shards... ...For some reason you do not recall, his face seems familiar. >MT: Switch screens. You would... except there seems to be no button to do so. You mash random keys once again, hoping that one of them does what you want, but nothing seems to happen. >MT: Press Alt+TAB Suddenly, some container above you opens, and a bottle of ice labeled "TAB" falls right onto your head, knocking you out... |

> AD: Process what's going on in front of your eyes So... hold up for a minute. This guy is currently taking on a bunch of underlings empowered by weird cueball shit and is winning. Also, the screen displaying the thing seems to be focusing on him. It follows his movements flawlessly, but his constant jerky movements nearly make you vomit. Great Speaker of the Croak, stop moving so erratically! > ==> Finally, he stops, probably because there aren't any more underlings. He then makes his goggles briOH DEAR LORD- > AD: HURK The bright lights from his goggles plus a bunch of yelling from the boy's end cause her to barf all over the floor, and she rests her head on the keyboard once she's done, causing her to inadvertently press a multitude of buttons that happen to include the tab button. A can of TaB drops to the floor next to her. > AD: Chug TaB with no regard for temperature to forget shitty aftervomit feeling She opens it up and chugs the lukewarm diet soda. She feels slightly less like shit since the room temperature diet soda feels better than burning vomit. Not much better, but it's an improvement. > AD: Return to screen She seems to have missed something heartbreaking. He looks incredibly downcast. Whoa never mind he suddenly decided to touch his face all over and swoon or something. Now that could use some questioning. > AD: "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS, BOY" He looks around, rather confusedly. He can only ask, out loud, who's talking to him. The Damsel decides it would only be polite to introduce herself, or at least make her presence, or lack thereof, known. > AD: "YOU'RE ABLE TO HEAR ME." He says yes, and asks for her name. Name... name... > AD: "CALL ME AD." Like the stout rival to Problem Sleuth, he asks? > AD: "WHO IS THAT? AND I AM NOT STOUT." He seems to mull over it for a bit, then decides he can tell her later. He asks how she managed to get in his head, as he starts ascending up the twin towers with his jetpack of his. > AD: "I DON'T KNOW, WEIRD COMPUTER SHIT I GUESS." He seems to accept that as an answer, given he doesn't seem all that confused. He even remarks it wasn't the strangest thing he's heard. This ought to be an interesting conversation... |
