Terry moves to J11, and fires his Ablaze Accordion south-east. He then uses the Drop Dancer as a meatshield for the incoming tomatoes, because of that bad pun he just did there.

If he's somehow not dead after that, he punches the Drop Dancer in the face. With a Cinderfruit.

If the Drop Dancer already died, Terry moves to L14, then fires his basic attack south-west.

"I-I just think you're..."
Her shoulders tense up.
"...better off hearing when we're not sieging a library... A-and when there's not forty billion people around."
She flashes a hopeful (or pleading) smile at Marron, before sinking back into the fray.

Toast moves onto The Man's head at E12 and uses Hidden Shade on the Chosen1. She then activates the Pick Me Up buff and hops off his head, dropping back to D11 for heeeals.
Assuming it actually hits, this should give her some maaad damages.

Toast also notices the large lady. It's not the woman's size that surprises her- rather, the fact that said woman had avoided being noticed this long.
"Hey, are you... new here?"

Venia listens intently to Chloe's explamation. "So, basically, you, uh, rushed in without a second thought. Eh. Then again, I'd think the cops would've been, uh, been, been pretty useless... I mean. We probably would've died to a random swarm, uh, if we didn't chance on a bag of weapons that weren't, umm, weren't thymecursed. But, uh, you didn't know any of that going in. Uh. Eh, I'm not really judging, trust me. I've probably been more, uh, headstrong on things I thought were less important..."

The comment on her appearance registers an audible huff. "... Eugh. Honestly, I've not been told about my, uh, my appearance, much at all. I stopped going to school for, uh, uhhh... Personal reasons, so, uh, most people who'd care didn't really talk much about it... I'd say more but it's complicated, but point is, I don't even really care except that it's actually... Kinda obnoxious? I'unno, has anyone else complimented you for how you look? Eh... I guess you'd be more, euh, self-conscious if you looked like Marron, but she's got natural pink hair. How do you beat that?"

"...That aside. You're a lot stronger than you look, mentally. Uh, most people wouldn't be so brave as to charge in like that, I think... Not knowing anything except that their brother could've been in danger."

A pause.

"...What's your brother like, anyways? I had a lot of files from that red guy's brain, but they're... Biased. Against him. Very clearly. It shows."

----+----



----+----

((as it happened stuff was ordered via Discord. Yey.))

"Thanks for the assist, Irongutta!" Venia shouts as she takes aim at the Bilebaroness. "Marron, I need you to pull that Bilebaroness towards us! Uh, it's the big frog-thing with the sacs on its back!"

Venia leaps up in the air-and we mean leaps up, like she's a friggin frog, a backflip included. She casually manages to hang herself up in the (possibly nonexistent) rafters of the building before lining up a decisive shot upon the Bilebaroness, even as Marron's own shots connect to pull it backwards.

"Cults, clown cults, spice monsters, mafia goons, inter-planar empires that casually donate miles-long hypertech dreadnoughts as a gift of appreciation-it doesn't matter. I'll take them down. I have to. And I will."

As the Bilebaroness settles, and perhaps as Nezria pops in to give the Bilebaroness a Disconcerting Ogle, Venia almost looses her shot, only to realize that the Bilebaroness now looks to explode. "...Uh-oh, I've overestimated its defense...". Venia quickly changes direction to shoot the first Reverie. "Eat this, you predatory little jerk." She then dislodges herself from the rafter and lands at D10. Her hat snipes the Bass Clown in the bargain as well.

Wyvern misses and recieves a counter from the DDancer. He also recieves a floor to the face as he stumbles over his own feet.

"Whup."

Wyvern picks himself off the ground and dusts himself off, looking around to make sure nobody saw. Thanks to that sweet, sweet AC though, most of the pain he felt was from faceplanting.

Wyvern shuffles over to K14 and Rips and Tears into the juggler, hoping to heal himself. He's blissfully unaware of how terrifying this is to the rest of the Carnival.

If the anime girls can change their Wallhack spell to Fury without screwing up the following action, they do so.

Asuka takes charge, spawning in at G8, moving to J6 and casting Fury on Teag and herself.

Boshi powers through the injury and runs to (I13-J14-K14). Heh, you're gonna love this...

He activates Heavy Metal, and uses the Carnival's music against them.

ATTACK: Boshi's attacks overpower the foes to the South, hopefully destroying the Speaker.
UNIQUE: Boshi fires a powerful blast to the North, where it impacts the Drop Dancer. Or its corpse. This should land him at (K16).
ATTACK: Boshi fires to the West, catching the Juggler off-guard and hopefully killing him.
MOBILIZE: Boshi moves to (K17).

Just for safety, he eats a Chairian Pastry. Because you know he's gonna be focused.
"(Come at me!)"

Emerald takes a single step to D13 and Shield Slams again because Galahad's Shield increasing range is a neat thing..

Emerald nods to Marron, and begins a /craftpost...eventually.

"Ingredients": Pocket Scanner x1, Greatwood Logs x2, Iron Ingot x1, Luminous Crystal x1, Wire Scraps x8 (I'd take three but I like 35), LED Display x1

Emerald starts off by taking the Greatwood Logs, and shaving one into the back half of a rifle, or a crossbow of some kind, leaving a small hollow tube, and a small opening in the top, thin enough to let a needle through without said needle getting stick. He then does the same with the other end, hollowing our the log to form a similar sized tube. From there, he melts down the Iron Ingot using a furnace he apparently found somewhere, forming a tube juuust barely smaller than the hollow in the log, sliding it in. That’s important. He shoved down the Luminous Crystal into the far end of the rifle-in-progress, near the trigger, and takes the Wire Scraps, beginning to wire them into the Luminous Crystal as a power source, causing the rifle to hum lowly with electricity. From there, he takes the Pocket Scanner and sets it on the top, attaching it as an aim assist, and wired an LED display into the crystal, for whatever reason. He doesn’t know, he just felt like putting that in there.

Needler Rifle

Damage: (9-10) Piercing
Range: 3-5
Hit: 9
Counter: 1 (Special Counter: Rifle Smack. If the enemy is in Range 1, hit for (3-4) Crushing, else if in range, due a normal counter)
Retreat: ?
Passive: String Snap. Move an enemy up to three spaces, dealing 25% less damage for each tile moved

He then hands it over to Marron ”Haven’t done that in a while... hope it’s decent enough.”

Nezira spawns at B7, scans the Bilebaroness as a Bonus Action, and then casts Hidden Glow on it.

<PEOPLESAYTHINGS DOP>
As per requested by a certain person. I decided to add a few extra conversations to it, because why not?

Auth discusses Omo's sleeping habits with her. She immediately shakes her head no.

OMORIKA: Please respectfully understand that your idea is simply appalling.
OMORIKA: Lucid is likely watching me at this very moment. As long as that fiend is around, sleeping would likely be lethal to everyone within at least a fifty-meter radius of me.
OMORIKA: Even if Lucid wasn't around... I'd still avoid sleeping. My nightmares, even before Lucid came around, are incredibly vivid, and usually unbearable.
OMORIKA: Sleep, while technically possible for me, is an undoubtedly terrible idea. Please do not press the subject further.

---

Omo then feels a tap on the shoulder. She turns to face a behemoth of floofy stuff and fabric- Ette. She waves hello! Omo assuming the classic :thinking: stance, looking over the unfamiliar figure.

OMORIKA: Greetings... creature? I'm sorry, I don't know what you are...

Ette begins waving her response towards Omorika. She simply gives her a cold, dead stare.

OMORIKA: I don't understand what you're saying.
MARRON: ...Who the gorilla are you?
MARRON: Wait, I think I know. You're that wooden chick that Auth met in the Mindscape.
MARRON: ...Stella, right?
OMORIKA: That'd be correct, yes.
MARRON: Okay, neat. Anyway, I'm Marron Needleworker, blah blah pleasantries.
MARRON: This lovely ball of fluff here is my sister, Ette. She's a puppet. A puppet who can't talk.
OMORIKA: A puppet? Interesting. Why would your sister be a puppet, though? You appear to be a flesh and blood human.
MARRON: Ah, she's meant to be human.
[small][small]MARRON: Wait, am I human? gorilla, I've never actually asked Chaos if I'm actually human or not...
MARRON: Given my luck and his creativity, I'm probably secretly a fourth-elf or something. One with a crippling weakness of sorts, and no actual boons.[/small][/small]
MARRON: EXCEPT, my creator is gorillaing cruel and stupid, so her soul's in a puppet. She may not say it, but she gorillaing hates it.

Omo stops to think for a moment...

OMORIKA: Ah, your sister's predicament reminds me of a spell I tried to use one time. Unfortunately, the book containing said spell was used by a Patche and I was forced to dispose of it.
OMORIKA: I also might've thrown away a copy of the spell some time before the book was eaten in a slight fit.
OMORIKA: I'm sorry to hear about your sister's state.

Even talking about this, Stella's voice remains a dull monotone. Marron scoffs at her.

MARRON: I doubt you actually do. You probably care about your stupid books more...
MARRON: Insensitive gorilla.
OMORIKA: ...Pardon?

Marron crosses her arms, and hmmmmffpphs away. Stella is left staring, tilting her head slightly to the right.

OMORIKA: Eh...?
OMORIKA: Was it something I said?

Ette tries to wave something to her, but with nobody actually around to translate for her, her cries land on no ears, because she doesn't actually make vocalizations. Her waves however, land on confused eyes.

---

Venia then continues talking with Chloe. She seems somewhat confused at Venia's distaste towards her words.

CHLOE: H-Huh? I-I wasn't trying to o-offend you or a-anything! S-Sorry...
CHLOE: I-It's just that whole thing with you coming out of a weird c(k?)rab robot is actually somehow higher on the list of weird things I've seen here...
CHLOE: ...Also, Marron's hair is a natural pink? That's cool, but I was actually gonna ask how she gets it so pink! Nia would love to know.

She snaps back to attention, and begins to gently blush at Venia's comment.

CHLOE: A-Am I really brave to you? T-Thanks!
CHLOE: I was... I was actually really scared t-to go out there, though...
CHLOE: Not going wasn't an option, s-so I dived in, headfirst...

Venia then asks about her brother, Xavier.

CHLOE: Xavier? He's really awesome!
CHLOE: Despite what those online would say, he's actually surprisingly chill. He often lounges around, tinkering with stuff and things, playing games...
CHLOE: We spend a lot of time together- it's mostly just playing games, but I have the honor of helping him out during his experiments sometimes...
CHLOE: He has a natural aptitude for robotics and programming- I've actually picked up a massive amount from helping him, too!
CHLOE: He's not very social, but he's pretty close with Nia, myself, and a few people online, They have a group chat, and they call themselves the Illuminati. It's seriously cute.
CHLOE: From what he's told me, their smartness levels range from "we keep him around because he's good at league" and "almost as smart as him".
CHLOE: ...

She sighs deeply.

CHLOE: ...I mean, that's what I know him for, anyway.
CHLOE: This whole "kidnapping my best friend" thing is new. So is him actually killing Chairians...
CHLOE: I'm worried sick, honestly- what's happening to him?
CHLOE: Maybe the Butterfly's pulling some strings. Y-Yeah! T-That's totally what's happening!
CHLOE: ...
CHLOE: I hope.

Zedros moves to I6 and hurls a Hidden Flow at the Seeker Sphere, followed by an Electric-aligned Elemental blaster shot to the same target.

He also reaches into the inventory to grab 8 Wires and 2 Paper Sheets, then reaches all the way back to Zone 0 to buy two Shock Crystals from Chaos. He runs the wires across the sheets, then smashes the crystals and dumps the powder all over the sheets. Finally, he shreds the papers into four charges of Cloudshock Confetti and loads one into the Confetti Cannon.

The Reveries might trigger my trait this turn.

Irongutta moves to D5, activating his trait and his Charging Vest's ability! He gives Reverie1 a whallop with his weapon. Huzzah for magical damage!

<ROUND FIFTY-NINE>
Auth panics slightly about having nothing to say to Omo. As if the universe detected his worries, she begins to speak up.

OMORIKA: Ah, Mr. Author.
OMORIKA: Given the way you act around the members of your group, it seems you have plenty of history with them.
OMORIKA: Mind elaborating? If I survive this ordeal, I might write a recollection of it. I believe it could be an interesting pastime.

JOE attempts to harvest some Thyme Antimatter. There is no Thyme Antimatter in the bucket. Plus, merely holding any sort of antimatter would mean that it'd have come into contact with real matter, and would almost certainly instantly delete you! All in all, this is probably for the best. Daskter then asks Marron to forge him a rifle. She gives him a quizzical look.

MARRON: Hey, important question.
MARRON: Do seamstresses make weapons? Unless my job is a gorillaing lie too, I don't think that seamstresses make gorillaing weapons.
MARRON: ...Look, if you're desperate, you could probably get... dunno, maybe the blonde gorilla to help you. God knows she has a thing for tech...

...Daskter probably feels that Chloe could actually help with creating the weapon. Of course, she wouldn't be able to do it on her own, but a small craftpost that specifically calls upon her help could work. Asuka then rotates to Fury, while Emerald assembles the Needler Rifle out of a Pocket Scanner Charge, 2 Greatwood Logs, an Iron Ingot, a Luminous Crystal, 8 Wire Scraps, and a LED display. Marron happily snatches the weapon from Emerald, conjures a needle to load into the weapon, and gives it a testfire. The needle flies true, landing in the head of a random Jester that doesn't exist on the map, killing him.

MARRON: Hah, this thing's awesome!
MARRON: Thanks, Em. You're pretty swell~

He gets a small, genuine smile from the puppeteer lady. It's almost innocent- perhaps if it wasn't for the body rotting a few meters away from her, it'd be wholesome. Then, Zedros creates a bundle of Cloudshock Confetti using 8 Wire Scraps, 2 Paper Sheets, and 2 Shock Crystals from Chaos. (-20 credits) He loads these into the Confetti Cannon- maybe it'll do something neat now! JOE and Nezira then step into the Grand Hall Route. It looks like its battle time!

...Also, shouldn't someone go and get the stuff from Pop and Pip? Free stuff is good stuff, y'know! Also don't forget to queue up items for Marron and Chloe, especially if you like efficiency!

<PROMOQUEST: ROUND TWO>
Enemies can shoot through walls here, y'know! Anyway, this isn't the greatest spot in the world, but don't forget that losing anyone that isn't Omo is fine! Maybe a fresh summon could change the tides here as well? Maybe there's a nice play you could do with Reposition, a ranged summon, and Abies. Who knows?

<GRAND HALL ROUTE, ROUND THREE>
So, that Bilebaroness could've gone better. Marron and several others have been rather horribly injured, and while Chloe, Stella, and Taeda have done their best to attend to the injured, there's still some lasting damage from that explosion. In addition, Irongutta and Boshi have been downed.

Also, Calypse. Calypse is shooting literal lines of Apocalypse Runes at you. Have fun with that, I guess.

[Omoquest]

Here's my plan:
Omo: Move to D8, turn LiveWood on B8 into Swarmers.
Construct: Move to D7, use Reposition on Abies to move him to D6.
Abies: Move to D5, use Shield Combo on Rifleman 1, retreat to D6.
Swarmer 1: I don't know where the spawn is, but I assume they both spawn on the LiveWood? Move to C7.
Swarmer 2: Move to B5, activate Special.

[Thymium]

uA: Well, I could do so. I may not be the best persona to discuss matters there, however, as I was only there for a short period. I could put you in contact with somebody who spent considerably more time in Chaos' mind, and that person would be able to give you a more detailed summary. If you like. My relationship with some of the others is not as in depth as, say, Marron and Toast's.

Auth sends out a clone to talk to Pip and Pop, as well as collect the free stuff.

As if a spotlight was focusing on him on stage, light seems to concentrate specifically around Auth. He floats into the air, with five angel wings made of light surrounding him, and a halo appearing above his head. Black curtains surround Irongutta and Boshi's bodies. With a swish, they're taken away, and Irongutta and Boshi are active once more.

Auth uses his special, The Final Curtain!

"Marron! Are you- I- Chloe! Ette! Make sure that she's okay!"

Daskter acts before me. Zedros acts before him.

Toast moves to F14 and uses Ebb and Flow, activating Reach! A torrent of water rushes through the bookshelves, healing Terry, before bouncing to Jester5, then Boshi, and finally landing on the Onlooker.

The first one should have (8-9) * 1.5 (Enlightened) healing. The second bounce should have (9-10) * 1.5 (Enlightened) * 1.2 (Purple) damage. The third would probably just fully heal Boshi after Final Curtain. The last would deal (11-12) * 1.5 (Enlightened) * 1.2 (Purple) damage.

Yoshi suddenly dies, and then is revitalized, making him think about what a dry bones feels when it first becomes undead.

...or he would be, if the words of the Chosen who decided to talk in french for some reason didn't shake him to his core. He already translated and figured out what he said.

He shouldn't have eaten that apple.
Something's inside him.
He's gonna halfta warn Hat Kid after the battle, and get that checked out...

He tries to concentrate on the battle at hand, Egg Rolling to (M21). We goin' in deep now, bois.
Boshi also tosses a Lumipod at the Overlooker in case The Man didn't finish the guy off.
