"Heck yeah! Let's punch the face off some Iti! And punch the face off some cultists! And- wait speaking of faces I need to get this gunk off my face so I don't look like an idiot aaaa-"
She tries to get a reflection of her face in her arm, to no avail.
"...I'm just gonna take a shower back at the house. Feel free to come along if you like?
I mean, to the house! Not the shower. That'd be a bit weird."

Toast then heads up to the house, potentially with Marron, Ette, and Auth in tow. If they are with her, she continues speaking,
"I'll be right back, and then we can go do somethiiiing~"

In and out in under five minutes, Toast returns outside with the marker removed from her face, and a change of clothes. She's now wearing a white t-shirt with jeans, with her previous attire placed in the chest upstairs.
"Let's go!"

I harvest the gaia crystal, both aurora crystals, and the shadowflame crystal, then replant the right-hand side crystals, and plant some crystal pens (Theyr crystals) in the bottom-left and aurara in the top-right, leaving the middle empty.
Also, I harvest all the soulblossoms and replant 9 in each slot. Since they where harvestable last turn as well, the harvest golem boosts yields.
JOE then walks over to the hall of sages and continues using his thyme-matter vacuum, which has been established as a thing since he used terraform with it in reisz. somehow. he uses this to reduce the concentration of thyme matter around the P17 thyme crystal, and hopefully make a path to it.

The Man pets the mollusk and feeds it a chocolate egg. Mollusks like chocolate, right?

Brutishace steps up to I8 and casts his newly learned Twin Eclipses on the Nacelestial, casting two bolts of darkness towards it.

If possible during the battle, he quickly spends his 2 Skillpoints in SPC and SKI, using 1 point for each.

Teag checks to the East of the dueling hut, if nobody's done that yet.

Zed flies over to F9 and hurls a basic attack at H11, hitting the Pageling6, the phaseshifted Javlyn, and the forest tile that may or may not be a spy.

Nezira moves to D7, teleports to T6, and moves to S7, before casting Terraform. She creates a mix of Power Wells and Mana Vents -- Power Wells at U6, S6, U8, and S8, and Mana Vents at T6, S7, and T8.

Well, since nobody else seems to be doing it, Monika forcibly removes the things stuck in the gears that would prevent it from powering whatever machinery it would be.

also if it's possible monika joins the entryway battle at D7 U6 because teleporters
then monika moves to R6 and uses her Purge weapon skill

this was a slightly stupid number of edits

<ROUND FIFTY-FIVE>
Emerald offers to be a practice target for Marron.

MARRON: S-Sure... but can I even hurt you?
MARRON: Seriously! Watch this.

Marron suddenly pulls out a needle and thrusts at Emerald. It somehow breaks upon impact with his skin, dealing (1) damage.

MARRON: How is ANYONE meant to compete with that sort of gorilla!?
MARRON: I really gotta get armorpiercing things again...

Emerald then rotates an aspect of his trait, and heads over to the Entryway. Terry then summons an Excalibur Frame, who rips out the dead Jester and Seekers from the gearworks. The gears, actually being highly damaged, all fall out of their construction. Upstairs, a gate falls over and deals (50) points of Crushing Damage to a certain Jester. Elsewhere, Zahlia talks with a Clown. She decides to not join the party.

BASS CLOWN: No loss here.
BASS CLOWN: Besides the gate. A shame it missed you by like, a foot.
BASS CLOWN: That would've been a highlight. At least I still have footage of that boy getting crushed.
BASS CLOWN: My followers are gonna eat that up.

She then heads off in a humph, and goes to fix up Chloe. She undoes her bandages, and runs her fingers over her wounds. Due to magic, her wounds are fixed in a timely fashion. Chloe pokes and prods at where there was once a bleeding gash in her chest.

CHLOE: W-Whoa! That's... awesome! Thanks!
CHLOE: I haven't seen others do magic like that. What are you, exactly...?
CHLOE: ...Also, I don't think we've properly met. My name is Chloe Elem! And your name is...?

After getting a response (which she probably will), she gives Zahlia a quick hug, thanks her again, then goes over to check the commotion at the Entryway. Back in Zone 0, Auth talks with Marron about saving the universe.

MARRON: Huh, you guys are in the world-saving business now?
MARRON: Figures. I mean, if saving the universe gets me away from Chaos and gets me closer to you and Toaster, then I'm game.
MARRON: It's probably easier than killing a butterfly.

He then grins, and compliments Marron's tactics. She blushes warmly, not really making much of an attempt to hide it.

MARRON: Heh...
MARRON: I... guess if everyone thinks I did alright, then...
MARRON: ...
MARRON: Thanks!

Her head's perks up, no longer glancing awkwardly at the ground. Kokichi stands at the ready- sadly, he didn't have any trolling attempts planned, and instead ends up standing near Marron awkwardly. Marron gives him a quick glance, and shrugs. Toast then motions for Marron and Ette to follow her to the house, and says something about showering. She quickly corrects herself, but Marron is left slightly more redfaced than when she was talking with Auth.

MARRON: U-Um... o-of course! Eheheheh...
MARRON: ...
MARRON: I-I'll be waiting... outside?

...Toast can barely make out the sound of Marron's heart racing as she heads up to cleanse herself. Moments later, she returns clear of blood and free of marker. The group then strolls over to the library, Marron riding over on Ette's shoulders. They then stroll further into the library, stepping over the fallen gate and arriving in the Grand Hall Route.

MARRON: God, this place smells of sugar, blood, and gorilla...
MARRON: Is that what libraries are usually like?

JOE then decides to harvest some Gaia (x8), Aurora (x28), and Shadowflame (x8) crystals, before planting 5 Aurora Crystals and 5 Crystal Pens. He also harvests the Soulblossoms, gaining 53 Soulblossoms and 40 Goneblossoms. He then replants 27 of those Soulblossoms. To end his action, he does some vacuuming, gaining 9 Thyme Matter. This doesn't make a visible dent in the Thyme Matter. The Iti within the zone, Pip, calls out to him.

PIP: There's no way you're getting through that Thyme Matter.
PIP: You should give up on your dreams.
[small][small]PIP: (of getting through the thyme matter)[/small][/small]

The Man then feeds a Chocolate Egg to the Mollusk in the Cogwork Route. The mollusk violently shudders.

(7513 / 10000)

The Mollusk purrs, and gently rubs up again The Man. Huh. He's not sure if he's made a friend or not, but it certainly seems happy. Brutishace then attempts to allocate skillpoints mid-fight, but it doesn't seem to work! Auth then also takes a quick moment to talk with Omo about Acacia's current status...

OMORIKA: Acacia... isn't doing too well.
OMORIKA: From what she's told me, Spark's revoked her power once more.
OMORIKA: She's not taking it well- she's become a recluse again...
OMORIKA: She'll snap out of it, though. This isn't the first time this has happened with the Sphere around.
OMORIKA: We really do need her on the front. Despite her tendencies, she's a valuable asset when it comes to fending off Iti...

<THE ENTRYWAY, ROUND THREE>
Salt players! The Naclestial has turned into a salt-copy of Chloe, while it forcibly turned two of its allies into Salt Krabs and Salt Irongutta! The latter two aren't too threatening, while Salt Chloe has a lot of HP and deadly counters. Or maybe go and kill the two Patchi. That's their plural, I think. Those books are total butts.

quickpost for the previous battle.

I give Omo a quick patchup so that she can regen some Mana quick since I missed all of the strat talks and have no idea how to be useful.

Calibri chuckles quietly while watching the interaction between Taeda and Omorika.

"Well. You two seem to get along well. Heh..."

Since there's not much to do, he checks the enemies quickly. Is Pageling3 alive? If so, kill it off. If not, is Pageling2 alive? If so, move to E6 and sink a shot into it.

Also, since it's a free action, transfer the drone to Taeda, and comment on the decision to do so.

"Heh, might as well..."

"Thanks! My name's Zahlia," she says. "Let's just say that it took me forever to learn how to do that."

---

At some point, she teleports directly to the Cogwork Route. There, she fishes the soda cans out of the water, taking them into the inventory.
"Did you think you can hide from me?"
She suddenly turns around and telekinetically lifts the Jester out of the water, pinning them against the wall. She then scans it.

---

At some other unidentified time, Simeon picks up a shadowflame crystal and whispers, [small][small]"Soma n Masith Shill, Polab."[/small][/small]

---

After Daskster attacks, Simeon walks towards Patche 2, stopping at K11. If Pageling 5 is still standing after Daskster's assualt, he Follow-Ups it with Griever. He thrusts Griever towards the Patche, using Nick the Soul. While it is deflected by the Patche's absurd shielding, Griever glows dark-red, causing the thyme energy around the Iti to momentarily dissipate as slipthrough is applied.
"Take it down, now!"

A Mag Warframe appears in place of the Dex Excalibur. She loots the copper items in the Cogwork Route, and the +7 Gate of Magical Reinforcement in the Party Entryway. Because she's Mag.

A Loki Warframe appears in front of the Bass Clown, then Phase Shifts with the orb and the Glacial Monolith scroll. He fits right into the shelf.

The Dex Excalibur Warframe goes Static Overcharge, then Glacial Monolith, then Fury on the orb. The scroll is consumed, and the puzzle is solved.
----
Terry moves to R12, then uses the Melody.
>ATTACK, aimed at Pageling8.
>UNIQUE, moving NaChloestial to O8.
>STATUS, aimed at Omorika.

He also shoots a Fire Elemental Blaster shot at Pageling8.

”That is the point Marron, yes. Perhaps you can learn to look over foes, in this case me, to find weaknesses in their defenses. In other news, learn how to Armorpierce basically. ...although I’m probably not the best person to look for armor weaknesses in, given I’m not sure I have any.”
Since this hasn’t happened yet, Emerald allocated his armors resistances to Piercing and Crushing

He then whooshes over to M8 with the power of Sprinting

The NaClestial ought to have known better than to mimic a crustacean who lives in the ocean, IE a massive body of saltwater.

He also ought to have noticed that Mr. Krabs moved up to Q9 ((After Nezria/Crystal's post wherein the chap was scanned)), used his hat upon his clone to pop the NaClestial's shield, and then... Mr. Krabs's voice abruptly turns into a perfect mimic of the NaClestial's, except slightly more nasally.

NaClestial?: I'M THE NACLESTIAL, I'M A MOTHERgorillaING CHEATER WHO CAN'T EVEN KILL A SINGLE GLASS CANNON gorilla WITHOUT COPYING THEM LIKE A LITTLE gorilla SUCK-UP!
NaClestial?: THEY'RE NOT EVEN META I JUST WANT TO BE A gorillaING IDIOT AND SHOUT PROFANITY AND gorilla AT THEM WITH MY COMPLETE INABILITY TO MIMIC THEIR VOICES AND MY CRIPPLING INFERIORITY COMPLEX!
NaClestial?: I DON'T EVEN gorillaING KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY THESE gorilla BUILDS BUT gorilla IT AND gorilla LOGIC I'M DOING IT ANYWAYS!
NaClestial?: LOOK AT ME GRAMMA WARE I'M BEING A BIG INCOMPETENT gorilla WITH gorilla FOR BRAINS!

Mr. Krabs abruptly gains a joke weakness: 'success (100%).' Mr. Krabs undergoes no transformation as he's already a creature of the salty deep and thus is fine as he is.

This rant is punctuated with shadowcaster bullets, one for Salt Krab, one for the 8th Pageling, and one for the NaChloestial, in that precise order. This procs his special and sends a waves of debuffs at all three, as well as Pageling5. (In case this wasn't obvious, CARDBOARD AMULET POWERS ACTIVATE NOW)

"Zog, that salty pansy just turned into two more salty pansies an' some kinda half-baked clone of me!"

Irongutta moves to Q10, skirting around any enemy ZoCs. This three space movement does the usual, activating Unstoppable Force and his Charging Vest. He then brutally smashes the Salt Ork with his weapon and retreats one space to Q9.

Originally posted on 2018-05-05 21:08:00

Acting before Mr. Krabs, Nezira scans the NaClestial (NaChloestial?) as a Bonus Action, then meditates.

Originally posted on 2018-05-05 21:13:00

"BAYONET CHARGE!"

Daskter suddenly runs to K12, and LUNGES at the Pageling.

Unleashing an overpowering stab, it pierces right through the poor pageling, that's being used has a dummy for an extremely irritated Daskter.

I unleash my frustration against the Pageling5 by Stabbing it!

Multiple attacks have some of their attacks miss or glance too often for my liking.
