Hall of Sages Battle:

Brutishace finally feels the worst of his headache ebb away. This gives him the concentration needed to realize how close he is to the worst of the action! He sees Emerald absorbing attacks that would tear an ordinary man in half... the Necromancer admires such a role, but he must return to the task at hand.

This headache hurt his ability to fight more than he expected- and that Screamer can't be ignored either.

Brutishace analyzes who's within range of his attacks, noting his enemies in the surroundings as well as those assailing Emerald directly in front of him.

Emerald has the vitality to eat all of that firepower, but Brutishace and nearby Venia are seriously injured.

Brutishace quickly dashes to I7 and pokes Venia in the thigh to get her attention- it's hard to do a shoulder-tap on someone that tall.
"Stay close, I'm here to help you. Watch this-"

Brutishace then casts Curaga on himself, restoring HP to both himself and Venia! It also tops off Chloe's HP to full, as well as anyone who happened to move within Curaga's range.
"That should keep us in the fight for longer. Especially against that Droplet!"

He then notices the second Breaker crashing towards his party, particularly Simeon... Brutishace steps over to J8 and readies his Slayer Pistol for combat, even though this Breaker seems resistant to his attacks.

Turntables Battle:

The Simulacrum notices the beam glancing him and doing some scratch damage- it clutches the wound for a bit before moving on.

It senses warnings against staying on the Red Tile, so urgently gets off them- which should be easy with its increased speed!

Benefitting from the Red Tile's bonus, the Simulacrum races away all the way to M12 and pelts the sixth Jester with Twin Photons, waiting for Bergilmir to deal his damage first if possible. If it kills that Jester, the Simulacrum gives the healing from Soul Siphon to Wyvern- it should survive a few more hits before needing more aid.

The MP-regenerating effects from this tile should mitigate the high MP cost of Brutishace's spells, so the Simulacrum moves to N13 to retain that effect.

Venia just scrunches up her face at Droplet. You don't get why but she looks legitimately red with pure rage. "If a robot is programmed to flatter you every day of your life and try its damnedest to protect you, it's a robot that was programmed to be such and not a lover. The beauty of love is in that you willingly love no matter how much you have to work past to get there, but you didn't even get that far. You don't have a boyfriend, you have WARE's personalized little handpuppet that'll flatter you every day of your life and try its damdest to protect you. I can see why Popuko hated Subculture Bitches so much... Whatever. Go pull out your tiny little gorilla, lie down and get gorilla[color=#0001CE]ed by your robot's tiny little gorilla[color=#0001CE]. I honestly will care if only because it involuntarily inspires a terrible fury within me to even think about it. But call him [color=#FF0000]YOURS just ONE more time, slander the good name of Love just ONE MORE TIME, CLAIM THAT WHATEVER THE HELL YOUR SICK ATTACHMENT WITH THAT ROBOT IS CAN BE CALLED LOVE, JUST ONE MORE TIME, AND I WILL PERSONALLY DRAG YOU BACK TO THE SPHERE, AND SHOVE THAT DOWN YOUR-"

Venia is cackling with a red energy that is almost certainly an entropic surge. Venia's speech has become far too explicitive-heavy for regular hearing, but rest assured, there are a lot of horrific threats that would likely have gotten Venia thrown in jail if they were sent the way of a human being. She's also shouting loud enough that the actual music of the area is just drowned out entirely, which goes on for a solid minute. She only stops-quite abruptly-when another episode of her blurring occurs. Her face resumes her usual, modestly awkward expressions the minute it snaps back into proper viewing.

"... Forget it."

Venia shakes off the sludge, waits for Brutishace to heal her via Curaga, and then flexes the Whispering Gauntlet upon her left hand to channel Entropic Energy into her bow. The Cardboard Amulet's dark energies crackle, now augmented by Entropic Energy (I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN, THIS IS QUITE WHY I'M DOING THIS IN FACT), as Venia loads up a single arrow, aiming it straight at the first Raider-

actually no that is not an arrow

that is literally pop's dead corpse

Venia what the hell

She fires Pop's Cadaver directly at the 1st Raider, whereupon it bursts and annihilates itself in a small entropic explosion which apparently creates a load of red confetti for whatever reason. "Uhh, clear out the trash first, everyone, and keep Droplet and the, uhhh, Robo-Raddish away from each other! Oh, and, uh, just, kinda, kill Banshees? Kill them all, they get highest priority on the to-kill list."

----+----

Over at the Turntables, Venia's worried shouting continues. Venia just seems too weird and frazzled to do much more than just give a Scan at the Rebel Rifler in an attempt to refocus herself. "Gotta take my mind off of this!" A small equine figure-that weird horse hat she has-reaches out of the liquid and pings the 1st Jester. She feels her power surge again due to unrelated phenomena. "Ready for a big one over here, everybody!"

HoS: Emerald shifts to F8, and, as Droplet is an idol, welcomes her to the Jam

Turntables: Emerald, moving after Toast, whacks the Jester and noms the Jester corpse, if Toast zapped the Jester, Emerald instead noms the corpse and whacks the Subwoofer

Misc: Emerald approaches Omorika, and gives a short bow "Seeing as I don't remember introducing myself, unless my memory is wrong... I am Emerald."

I join the Turntables battle, spawn and move to P14, and attack Jester6 with Hidden Rock! You let me do that, Ire!

cA: ...That competition looks fun! Simeon! How about it? I come slightly late, but competition among allies is always exciting!

Suddenly, Future!Toast appears at the House. She heads down to the basement to research Consecutive Normal Punches, before taking the portal to the Crystillery. Here, she does some other work.

Toast shoves her hands to her temple out of pain. Ow, gorilla! This music!
She looks up at Marron, and grins through her wounds.
"Oh yeah? Bring it on, cupcake!" she taunts, oblivious to the slight trail of blood trickling from her ear.

She moves to M10, and uses Intuition! Spells rush to her mind, and she manages to pick one from the bustling congregation: Twin Photons! She points her fingers in opposite directions, and launches orbs of light at Jester1 and Juggler5! Then, she retreats back to M11. And eats a pancake.
"(I a-actually would appreciate some healing though, Marron...)"

Twin Photons should have.
Effective INT: 26.
Enlightened9
+20% Damage (Geo)
+20% Damage (Light Weakness)
Therefore, (12-13)*1.9*1.2*1.2 = 33 or 36 damage, before AC.

Irongutta also roots for Toast, causing blush from her at the unexpected support. That, or because she's in a much worse state she's making herself out to be in.
"Hehe, thanks 'Gutta."

"(C-competition...? N-no, must f-focus...)"
Boshi seems to be resisting the urge to join in on the competition hype train...

Needless to say, he fires the Elemental Blaster (Electric) at Subwoofer 3, moves to (G14), activates Whirling Blades, and moves in such a way to hit Drop Dancer 2, Subwoofer 3, and Bass Clown 2, ending at (K14).

@Zedros Kill Subwoofer 3, please.

"Oi! You two tallying the clowns you've krumped? If I 'ad any teef on me right now I'd place my bets on Toast fer a bit of the ol' undersquig comeback sorta thing."

(RNG) * Keiko will remember that.
(Author) * Keiko will remember that.

"gorilla it all, Tyche, this was NOT okay. You are, without a doubt, the worst goddess and I-"

And then Keiko found herself able to get up.

"...I thank you, fellow healer. I'll see if I can talk more after this, but..."

Keiko rolls up her sleeves. This confuses you, since they aren't exactly attached.

"Some people are going to learn why you don't gorilla with the white mage."

[color=#3333CC]Keiko steps onto G14, before ripping out a page from her notebook and quickly making something out of it. Through the technique of Mass Paper Printing, Keiko produces a Cheap Shuriken... that she instantly uses to slash the Drop Dancer 2 with unbridled healer main anger.

But afterwards, what can only be described as a pillar of light bombards the area around her. Considering what just happened to her and what she's done previously, you almost expected this to be a middle finger as well, but shockingly, it isn't. Keiko casts Heavenly Ray!

With that said and done, she does the smart thing and backflips to G13, more cover appearing directly in front of her at G14.

Trait active again.

...The apocalypse rune blows up. Illusory Cal looks confused for a moment, then sort of half-heartedly assumes a "I just made an explosive attack" gesture at the Drop Dancer. The real Calibri, meanwhile, fires off a shot at the Subwoofer3 if it's still alive, before heading to G12 and humming to himself.

"Pity those rails resist rooting effects. I'll have to wait for later before testing that combo..."

...If Subwoofer3 was in fact dead, he instead shoots Drop Dancer 2 from where he headed to, relying on the power of C O N F U S I O N to make the jester confuse itself into useless.


Elsewhere, EN shrugs.

"Well, ah'm not worryin', an' ah sure count meself as a peoples."

Then, she hears his statement and just responds by shaking her head.

"Honestly, wit' all th' real cultists an' th' clowns an' th' Iti runnin' round 'ere, ah'm not sure if it's safe 'nuff fer ya. Yer better off comin' back t' th' house we're stayin' at. Ah'll escort y' there 'f ya need 'elp findin' yer way an' not gettin' ambushed. Specially since there's prolly some people 'round who wouldn't be so 'appy t' see y' goin' round in cultist robes... An' there's Iti. They're annoyin'. Except Calypse. Actually seems kinda chill now. Less murder-lasery. More... uh... monolithy. Strong silent type, heh..."

She checks the inventory for a moment. Doesn't say why, of course... She's starting to suspect something from Bass.

<ROUND SIXTY-EIGHT>
Daskter decides to expend 6 Titanium and... theirs into a railcannon? What? I'm assuming he's making them into a Railcannon... and this uses the aforementioned 6 Titanium to create a Double Railcannon. The Autoturret is different from a Railcannon, right? He then tapes 2 Circuit Boards to it, granting it aiming and firing capabilities. Anyway, this adds a collective 10% Weapon Progress. He then uses 10 Iron on the Hull's frame, giving it a nice skeleton. This adds 10% Hull Progress.

JOE meanwhile, harvests the Darkmatter Cluster and replants it. This yields a netgain of 3 Clusters. He then harvests the Silkweed, obtaining 23 net Silkweed. I'm assuming he's replanting, so the Silkweed was re-planted. If this wasn't intended, the Silkweed can simply be uprooted and returned to the inventory with no ill effects. He then uses the Harvest Golem's effect on the Manablooms, making them ready for harvest!

Toast meanwhile, decides to research Consecutive Normal Punches. This consumes 30 samples. EN then continues her conversation with Bass. He expresses interest at her proposition.

BASS: You have a place away from here?
BASS: Yes! Please take me! Too many cultists here. Too many maniacs in general, actually.

He fails a spot check on EN checking the inventory, or perhaps he just doesn't understand why she's checking it. Now, an important question; will JOE and Daskter do more things outside of battle next post? Will EN and Bass head to the house? Find out on the next textdop of DTG: Chaos Project Thymium!

<OMOQUEST, ROUND ERR>
No actions detected. Please post actions to continue.

<THE HALL OF SAGES, ROUND FIVE>
Droplet and Daikon are incredibly separated; now's the time to go and destroy them both! Or just Daikon, since killing Droplet might not be an efficient use of 70~ damage. Or is it? Your call, I suppose. Just don't get run down by the still-present Seekers and Raider, as well as the newly-spawned Seeker Sphere! Or Daikon's new summons.

<THE TURNTABLES, ROUND FOUR>
THREE players went down this round, likely as a result of the incredible sustained damage from DJ Headz. Fortunately, you're about 46% of the way through his HP- just keep on pushing! And deal with those Bass Clowns. Seriously, they've been wrecking you in every direction, and you're not going to survive multiple bursts in a round.

<ANNOUNCEMENT>
Today, the EXAM-O-PAUSE is coming into effect, and updates will be incredibly slow and staggered. Regular updates will resume on the 25th or 26th of June, but at least one more update will come out before then!
