PROCESS:

Time around Hat Kid slows to a crawl as she swipes the Hat Kid Plushie from Boshi's... neck? Back? Who knows at this point...

They both know that having the Plushie be attached to the head slot is hampering to their overall viability, in hindsight. Time to change that. But for what materials they have currently, it's gonna take a lot of work to get it to that point.

Hat Kid takes the Spider Silk Spool and the +7 Magically Reinforced Gate, and just places it in a pile on the ground. She slowly - ever so slowly - drains the enchantment power out of the Gate and into the single spool of spider silk, through a mixture of time-space manipulation, the silk's inherent magical pull for the stuff, and some crafty movement and silent chanting, to get as much of the magic as possible into the silk.

The silk, however, isn't quite enough to take the entirety of the enchantments; the gates are basically still a +5 at best.

That's what the rest of the materials are there for, though.

Hat Kid puts the less enchantable items on next, consisting of the Nice Coat, Skyscales (which she has just killed for whatever makes them float; I'll leave that up for you to picture), and a gutted Speaker System (Hat Kid decided to strip out all the sound-making parts to get at the air-based medium inside; that is what she uses, a couple of small cuts in the skin later). Doing the same thing as before, all the items were enchanted as far as they could possibly go; the gates are now a +2.5 at best.

She then places the Manablooms and Greatwood Log on the pile, and after more stuff is done (the same thing), the gate's about a +1.

Then, she takes Reisz's Umbrella. Not a single person has used it yet, likely because it's a T2 weapon in a sea of possible T3 weapons, and now T4 stuff. It's essentially useless to the party at this point; who'se really going to use an umbrella in their arsenal except Hat Kid herself? Nobody.

She tosses Reisz's Umbrella onto the gates. The last of the energy seeps into the umbrella, rendering the Umbrella smaller and more magical, the gates magically sterile... and physically weakened! The immense amount of stress the magical absorption process took had also strained the gate to give up some of its natural properties; namely, its sturdiness and metallic properties. One very light breeze later, and it crumbles to dust, scattering across the library.

Now for the fun part; actually weaving the stuff into the plushie. Using the Spirit Loom that Simeon and Zahlia made earlier, Hat Kid spins the fibers of the Greatwood Log and Skyscales (now enchanted from earlier) into one cohesive thread, working the loom so hard she's almost sweating already! Wood's hard to work with, alright?

What's not ridiculously difficult, however, is weaving the Silk and Nice Coat together into a usable string; it barely took any effort at all! The weaving's done, anyway, so now onto the plushie itself.

Hat Kid takes the Speaker System Core, and slathers it in a grinded-up Manabloom. Once the manabloom settles, she opens up the Hat Kid Plushie by the belly (making sure to remove the leather coat), and slots the Core into the center of the Plushie. Despite there being a speaker system part in the Plushie now, it doesn't make a sound, and yet, it feels significantly lighter already.

She also slathers the rest of the Manablooms onto the now-shrunken Reisz's Umbrella, decorating it as if it were her own umbrella. Using a bit of the leather from the Nice Coat, Hat Kid sews some of it to the back of the plushie, sets the umbrella into it, and straps another bit of leather onto the plushie to hold the umbrella in place. Not enough to obscure the lovely umbrella any, but enough to hold it in place in the thick of battle.

And, at long last, Hat Kid carefully weaves the two strings into the plushie's body and clothing; the wood goes under the visible part of the clothing to retain that sense of similarity to Hat Kid, and the Silken Weave into the flesh of the Plushie, replacing the old cloth and replacing it with a much softer and much lighter skin. The presence of the Wooden Weave, given it has magically-empowered Skyroot in it, lightens the Plushie up significantly more, and the other magical bits help as well, lightening up the Plushie and making it so that the entire thing doesn't just drain the entirety of the lightness.

All while the Plushie stayed the exact same size. It's great, really. Probably not as great as what Marron or Ette could probably do to it, but it's still good.

To cap things off, Hat Kid re-attaches the Plushie to Boshi, replacing the Spiked Scarf in the process, before setting the flow of time back to normal.

OUTPUT:
Hat Kid Plushie (T4)
Has the exact same stats as the original Plushie, but is instead a one-slot Trinket.

"Ok, Um. I'm gonna try to keep this sort so I don't bore. So, first off: The big butterfly. Not sure how much you actually know about that sucker, but basically; The Rose, the Chaos Butterfly, the Red, the whatever-the-hell-it-actually-is, is a creation of the very first Godmodder, the 'First Evil of God' or just 'Psi,' explicitly to torment the Sleuth, IE the 'old Chairheir' that may or may not be running around as a husk. Uh. Yeah. Literally, a being powerful enough to get a cult around it was made to spite one guy and presumably blow up his home afterwards. Psi was... A massive jerk. I... Honestly have no clue what really happened, but as far as I'm aware, he's almost-succumbed to it at this stage. Saw him as some weird husk thing a while ago."

"Things get complicated, though... Uh, the Sleuth... How do I put this? Basically, he's some kind of AI made manifest. Almost like a robot, but not quite... Uh. I don't get it either to be frank. BUT this meant that the Sleuth's code, infected with the Chaos Butterfly, could, theoretically, be found. Be... Downloaded. As it happened, the code fell into the hands of some random guy from another world. His name's Xavier, and Xavier was the kind of person that, upon having his computer near-explode after running a copy of the code, decided that he ought to make more. And he did. A grand total of... Fourteen times? Fourteen clones of the Sleuth. All were plauged by copies of the Chaos Butterfly, and aside from the very first and very last copies of these fourteen, all of them were purged, Butterfly included. So, yes; your former god has been slain by some teenage punk twelve times before without much care, and held back pretty admirably before that point. I'll get back to him, though, as well as the remaining first Butterfly."

"So, uh, the fourteenth instance of the Sleuth's copied AI is known as Irecreeper, IE the 'traitorous Chairheir' that participated in the second Godmodding War. Why he did that thing that casued the End War-the whole 'teleport the Chairian frontline away from the frontline to the Godmodding war thing'- uh, I 'unno. I have two theories: either Xavier forcibly took command, or Ire was prepping them due to intelligence that King IKEA was going to invade with a powerful Tabletopian Flagship, among many other powerful enemies. IKEA did show up... Well after the Chairian Legions were slaughtered to the last, though Ire did kill IKEA. Uh, I think you know the story from there, except, no, you do not."

"During the WAR, earlier than this point, Irecreeper was assaulted by an entity known as the... Operator, also known as Slenderman. If there's a single entity in this whole story that'd make the Chaos Butterfly run with its tail between its legs, its the Operator. The Operator's assault on Irecreeper was both mental and physical, and sent the poor jerk back in time... I think. It also mentally screwed him up, which screwed with a lot of the anti-Butterfly restraints. This entity is known as Chaoscreeper, and he was angry at his future self for some reason. And also, he wants to blow up existence because Butterfly influence. Kinda. It's complicated, right now, but he had some very interesting plan beforehand: re-create a joint Tabletopian/Chairian weapon, forcibly KO everything opposed to him with its properties, kill his copy, kill everything else, end existence. He managed to get a hold of the weapon's components and assemble it, dissecting multiple Chairian and Tabletopian bases to do so. Given the similarities, these actions were attributed to the original Irecreeper, because, uh, he technically is the original Irecreeper? Eugh. Time travel. It's still needlessly complicated sometimes. Uh, but he's a nonthreat right now; his test-run of the weapon on some Descendants basically sunk the plan, destroyed the first Butterfly that was apparently residing in his mind, and weakened the fourteenth Butterfly, which put off his corruption. It's... Kinda complicated, and I wasn't there for it, but he's an ally to us at this point. We haven't quite worked out the 'dont' destroy reality' bit, but he's currently helping us on the pretense that the Sphere will killsteal him."

"So, after that point, uh, you know what happens to Irecreeper-imprisoned in the Sphere and going insane thanks to some... Uh. Spice. Literally, some spice. Some amazingly potent, reality-attuned spice, but, spice. Yeah. That's literally the cause of most of this; spice. Uh. Yeah. No real words. But that's turned him into 'WARE,' and, uh, he's gone crazy, which is rapidly weakening the holds upon the Chaos Butterfly. This is where Xavier comes back into play; he's been watching the fourteenth instance, but since he's been imprisoned upon Sussui-as opposed to an, uh, actual computer-he cannot just hard-delete the thing, and probably not even if he was back on a computer due to the Thyme. He's also made a *fifteenth* clone of the Sleuth, this time... Uh, augmented by a biological component, and had the result projected into a robotic body. And by 'biological component,' I mean 'unwilling, unconscious teenage girl.' Nia Khlondis is her name, and either due to the Chaos Butterfly or the Sleuth clone's influence, managed to create a portal to Sussui for herself and Xavier. Nia is currently being recognized by the Rose Cult as their 'queen,' and Xavier... Uh, last I checked, he was screwing around at the Skylabs. Haven't actually met him, yet. Have met Nia, though. Definitely does not deserve to have her mind eaten by a crazy insect with a god complex which occasinally takes over the robot body that is her only means of interacting with the world..."

"What else... Alright, mission goal: purge all the Chaos Butterfly instances in Sussui. Either make them good guys, somehow, or erase them from existence. That means the original Butterfly in the Sleuth, aka the Husk; the Butterfly in the fifteenth Sleuth instance AKA Nia's Butterfly; and, natch, the Butterfly inside WARE, who is especially important as he'll destroy the universe in a week. If that happens, the cascading chaotic reactions will swiftly annihilate the rest of existence, in a presumably ultra-painful death kind of manner. The other two aren't nearly as immediately threatening but I don't project either of them holding out much longer... But, I think I have the proverbial and literal key to this whole mess right in my hands for them. As for WARE, well... The Sphere's impenetrable, traditionally, thanks to four runes that the Highchair set up to keep plebians like us out. One of them is here, most likely in Omorika's office if I may be frank, as its the room furthest in the back, which itself is where we managed to detect it; one of them is in the Eternal Gardens, roughly dead-center; the third could be in the Skylabs, which is the only reason I can think of as to why Xavier was last seen there; and the fourth is a big question mark. If you have any hot leads for any of the remainders, I'd love to know..."

"Finally, uh. Hrm. Two, three... Four questions, and they're big ones. First: Do you know of an Eliti known as Lucid? Second, do you know where such an Eliti may be found, right now? Third, unrelated to the first two: What do you know of the Rose Cult command? Like, you don't need to know the names-the general command structure will do as far as you know it. Finally: is there any particular... 'Devil' figure for the Rose Cult? Any antithesis to their god, an 'unholy abomination,' some kind of hideous enemy that everyone is instructed to obliterate with extreme prejudice? A spider of absolute order, an azure dragon as large as a universe, a being who shouldn't exist, a magical girl perpetually high on drugs-do you have anything of that sort in there? I intend to invoke their imagery and iconography to the best of my extent."

"Honestly, I'm, uh. Really, REALLY sorry that I've dragged you into this. I've tried to make this feel like it was your choice, but it's clearly not, and I'm dumping a lot of important stuff on you and asking you a lot of questions, and I know it's kind of overwhelming. But, uh. We really need your help, believe it or not, and I'll do all in my power to ensure that you won't be killed, no matter what happens or how bad it gets. Trust me when I say this-it won't matter if the Rose Cult comes after you, or anything else, you're under my care, and my care says that anything that tries to assassinate you is good as dead."

INPUT:
- 1 Rainbow Party Foci
- 1 Skyroot Log
- 2 Titanium Ingots
- 1 Spider Silk Spool
- 1 Thymium Glue

PROCESS:
Terry examines a Rainbow Party Focus. He stares at it, and accidentally pulls the trigger, blowing a hole in the dance floor. He then holds it steady, then keeps the trigger pulled. The hole gets deeper.

"This is where the fun begins."

He dissipates into flames, then reappears at the sword kitchen Workstation Prime.

First, he disassembles a full set of Rainbow Party Foci, taking only two laser-y parts for his own use. The circuitry stuff kinda looks like a grip already. Now all that's left is an actual one.

Next, he cuts two pieces off a Skyroot log. They look like half a sword grip.

He then gets a mold of the rest of the grip(s) from the trash, then melts and pours some Titanium into them.

Then, he glues them together into two grips. With thymium glue. Around the circuitry of the Foci's lasers.

He cuts a Spider Silk Spool in half, then ties them into those things that keep the grip things from flying out of your hand/s.
