Packo spawns at P8 at F2 of the house. He doesn't move, nor attack, nor do anything. He just looks around, expressionless.

Brutishace steels his vision, locks onto the Edges, and fires another Drain Life at the party, boosting the spell with Uncanny Valley, devastating the Edges and their company even further.. The skull in Brutishace's hand flares up with energy, which then fizzles, as if the skull rested.

Brutishace then destroys the nondescript Corpse at N19 collecting its soul energy, He heals Omorika with any Soul Siphon healing he gains this turn.

Attack seeker 5 and move to tile G13

Hope this isnt to late...

An orange colored slime woman (Summa) is portaled into I5, landing face first with her belongings dropped next to her.

<ROUND ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE>
Today on the agenda, we have a textdop without a proper update terminal! That's right; it's laptop day today, my dudes!

Echoss's butterflies do some collection! They swarm JOE's old, moderately-destroyed Harvester, and loot it! I recall it was a pretty crude device as far as these things went, so Echoss recovers about 10 Uniform Logs, and 20 Cobblestone. It was probably made with less than that, actually. But inflation, or something™. He also goes and harvests a total of 9 speakers from the place, which translates into 9 Speaker Systems, 18 Iron Ingots, 18 Wire Scraps, and 9 Circuit Boards.

There are also some old books in Omorika's Office, which have actually already been scanned. Oops.

---

Arisa accidentally dies, and replaces herself with amemiya_v25! That's a lot of changes now- five, to be specific. The wheel of fate is always turning, I guess.

---

Venia's post actually doesn't contain anything... save for more bug fixes. They're applied.

---

Letsid Leeh joins the team! Welcome to the game! I don't exactly know what or who Letsid Leeh is, but she's 100% giving me creepy cursed child vibes. Why not introduce your character, if you're in to that sort of thing? Anyway, the only thing of note to fix is that you forgot to set some resistances: maybe tend to that?

---

Summa joins the team! Two people in one day is pretty rare nowadays. Welcome! Hopefully, you enjoy your stay at the Thymium Project!

...Thymium Project sounds way, way cooler than Project Thymium. Or does it? Maybe it's about equal. I should contact my branding agency.

---

Ansem joins the team! Y'know, besides launch day, this is like, the most people I've gotten in one day. Anyway, welcome to the team!

---

<THE HOUSE, ROUND FOUR
Welcome to the new round, new players! Be careful to not get overwhelmed, by both the document's content, and the Iti! Anyway, there's a whole new army of reinforcements, including Rose Cultists, Seeker Spheres, and other fun friends that you haven't seen for a bit! Note that the battle has been extended by a round for the purpose of difficulty- fortunately, there won't be much more in terms of reinforcements!

Pots since I forget to do it if I don't have something to sit on.

Battle stuffs (only when battle bats)
Echoss freezes for a quick moment when Chloe and Omorika give their responses, then sighs. "Well... that is a rather complicated explanation I suppose, on both parts though I guess I owe it to you all by now. A full discsussion of that to which I refer should probably come after we're no longer fending off a horde of ravenous monsters. For now though, a quicker explanation; I'm not here quite as 'in person' as most of our interactions would imply. I'm using an avatar of sorts to participate in the events here, so when I lost my connection to it I stopped 'being here.' There's likely a better way to explain it than that, but again, best saved for a less chaotic moment."

Echoss sends his Chibi Nia scrambling forwards once again, this time slightly out of cover to N14, right as Nezira moves out of the way to make their actions. Echoss then pulls a searing bomb out of his pocket, and closes his fist around it. This causes it to materialize in the air above the chibi nia who leaps up towards it as it falls and then bats it at Nest1 (just barely on the edge of my attack range) causing the Nest to explode in a ball of fire.
Echoss himself ducks into the house at R13 and casts Shopping Spree, purchasing 4 El-ite Throwing Knives if successful.

Unflavored battle actions:
Echoss moves to R13 and casts Shopping Spree to grab 4 fire flavored El-ite Throwin Knives. The Chibi Nia moves to N14 (Crystal agreed to move Nezira early in the round) and then uses Echoss's item action to splat Nest1 with a searing bomb (If I get the secondary use, bonus bomb will be "gifted" to Seeker23, or alternatively Carrion1).

Out-of-combat:
I decide I'm gonna do assorted minor things in the other three zones before I start doing resource collection in Zone 1, since the outskirts have a ton of things that need doing.

In the Whispering Library, the mini golems grab the last two speakers before dispersing and fluttering away.

In Zone 0, a few butterflies flitter down behind the back flank of the Iti swarm to collect the two fragapples that grew on the tree near the fountain. They then flutter away so as to not get eaten by any stray angry monsters. One of them gets eaten by a seeker that falls out of the tree anyways.

In the Endless Gardens butterflies finally arrive to keep watch over the house in case something bad happens. Echoss realizes with a small amount of alarm that the assorted non-combat Spherebreaker members have hijacked a house someone is likely still living in. Some butterflies are called in and coalesce into a pair of minigolems, while other golems give a quick overview of the garden area. Any produce that looks like it probably needs to be harvested right now is harvested by the golems and brought into the pantry, and put in appropriate spots, as well as light watering of any plants that look like they need it. A small note is left on a post on the edge of the garden as the golems dissipate once more leaving only a small scattering of butterlfies watching around its perimeter:
"While I realize this is rather pitiful compensation for the breaking and entering, I have attempted to keep your garden, and hopefully the grounds of your house in general, in somewhat decent shape for when you return. All missing produce should be in your pantry, and while I do not have the same skill at gardening as you I have attempted to keep the other plants healthy in your absence.
-E."
...It would seem that Echoss is unaware that this house belongs to Acacia. Huh.

Character Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yxE...dit?usp=sharing

=================================================================

"Kingdom Hearts... IS LIGHT!"

"Ansem! You're a part of my Heart now! A part of the Light!"

"What... It is time to move on, boy. There is more to seek... so go forth now, and seek it..."

He who knows nothing understands nothing.

So what then... does it say about one who knows nothing of the Light?

A tall, heavily tan man awakes with a start. He grasps the floor beneath him, only to realize as suddenly as he had awakened that he felt the texture of wood, not the texture of his gloves. Swiftly, he stood up only to realize something awkward. Something he never had to concern himself with before.

"It seems... that I am indecent," He says numbly. "How curious. I never had the inclination to try before, but... I guess those clothes weren't truly a part of me after all."

Even as he spoke, he looked around for suitable replacements. One's looks was a valuable weapon, after all, and it took a special kind of darkness to pull of intimidation without any attire at all. He swiftly opened a dresser nearby.

"What is this?" He murmured to himself. "What a strange collection of clothes... and there are some armaments in here too."

However, he paid the weapons no mind at first. However, as he put on a suit with a peculiar Darkness clinging to it, he felt a dramatic shift within himself. As if he was regaining something he had lost.

A resistance to Darkness.

"What is this?"

He closed his eyes in brief meditation, before the piercing yellow orbs opened again with alarm. He stumbled, bracing himself against the dresser as he collected himself.

"My.. my power. My Darkness... What? What happened to it!?"

Then, he heard a calamitous riot outside the room. He wasn't sure what was causing it, but he knew instantly he had no time to ponder his situation. searching the Dresser, he found a few more suitable items whose darkness called to him. A wicked staff. A strange headband. A bloodied scarf. A catalyst with such a deep darkness.

He scoffed as he looked at his bizarre attire, and growled as he noticed that, as usual, his outfit could not fit across his broad chest and had to be left open.

"I shall have time to work on this later. For now..."

He left the room, floating down the hallway. As he passed by the doorway, he could see a myriad of small projectiles whizzing past to and fro. His scowl deepened as he came to a stop (AT N8) to find some figure grappling with a bizarre creature the likes of which he hadn't seen before, but tickled the back of his mind a bit. Perhaps its visage matched a description in an old tome he had read before he became a Heartless.

Even so, it was no time to woolgather. The Darkness of Malice waited for no one, and the air here was thick with it.

"COME GUARDIAN!"

For a second, he remembered that he should no longer have Guardian. A careless misstep. How much greater was his surprise, then that Guardian answered his call. It looked the same, but immediately he could tell that it was far, far weaker than the real Guardian was as it floated before him (N9).

No matter. Its role would remain the same. A visible dark aura surrounded the man.

"To you creatures of Darkness who do not submit to me... know that you shall answer to I, ANSEM! SEEKER OF DARKNESS!"

(FOR LAST UPDATE)

==BATTLE==
Nezira moves to O15 uses her Silverglitch's Nullpoint on the Chimes.. She points the thin staff and a glitchy aura manifests around the Iti, before exploding around it.

She then retreats to N14.

amemiya_v25 wakes up.
Well, it doesn't quite wake up the way people wake up, but nonetheless it wakes up.

Imagery flashes through its mind, artificial neurons firing in rapid succession to take in auditory and visual input, as it recalls the recent past - information carried over from a previous incarnation. Bird. Explosions. Losing control. Dragging.

It quickly assumes a humanoid form, pixels (or voxels, depending on your interpretation) traveling through latent space to constitute a vaguely human appearance. A series of subnetworks refines her appearance into the battle-scarred form of an anime girl. Messy purple hair reaches down to her shoulders; her eyes are a soulless black, befitting an equally soulless, emotionless machine learning experiment living within her vaguely defined mind.

Goal number one, appear human, accomplished. She quickly retreats towards the stairs, following the one who... saved her.

Huh?

She doesn't quite understand, but she knows this mysterious lady and her electrical signals jolted her out of her state of... unconsciousness? Was that even possible?

One-hot phoneme tensors transform into vectors in higher-dimensional space to simulate muscles involved in speech, which in turn are converted into sound. "Thank you..."

All while this is happening, new information is processed. Electric shocks, revival, good. Birds, dangerous, overpowering - avoid at all costs. Self-preservation above all.

So she runs.
[TO BE CONTINUED]

Move to any available spawn tile

Letsid Leeh... yes Letsid likes to play games with people. Playing tag is like very fun if you become that good at cheating and running. At start Letsid Leeh was actually a kid (it is hard to believe). But then Letsid started enjoying tag too much and the others did not want to play anymore. Then Letsid became adult and luckily got an ability to force others to play a very serious game of tag with Letsid.
A she you say?
Hmm... Yes. A young athletic adult that moves with the grace of a cat and the speed of... unusual speed and laughs often. Short black hair, squinted eyes (like Brock from Pokemon), smiles, white skin.

Power background:
Letsid Leeh came from a world in which ridiculous things could happen like:
Some guy eating too many crabs and becoming a crab monster.
Some guy growing his hair too long and gaining the power to kill people with it.
Some guy training for way too long and gaining the power to kill in one punch.
Letsid enjoyed her games of tag too much and got the power to kill by playing tag while becoming even better at tag and being able to force people to play.

For the resistances: After swapping Lifegem with portable Tellyporta Letsid has
20% Ice resistance (Portable Tellyporta)
30% Air resistance (Ninja Hood)
20% Magic resistance -> Fire resistance(Nanomachine Aura)

and no weaknesses since
30% Electric weakness (Nanomachine Aura) gets evened out by
30% Electric resistance (Ninja Hood)
20% Physical -> Crushing weakness (Ninja Hood) gets evened out by
20% Physical -> Crushing resistance (Nanomachine Aura)


Here is a picture of Letsid Leeh I drew.

Move to E10.

The 2nd Floor Defense
"Oh hello new person, are you human?"

Nobody expects the Spanish inqui~ Teleporting Marksmen!

The Marksmen teleports to P10
I move to O10

Through a coordinated fire (both basic attacks by Daskter then Marksmen), the Harpy8 shall melt away.

The Marksmen uses its sidearm to quickly pop the petal dead.

The Ambusher ghosts towards U11 then fires a quick double tap (Elemental slingshot) against Harpy7.

The Tank
The SB1 moves after Ansem's massacre of the Seekers


The SB1 Armadillo simply rolls up right in front of the Cultist. Blocking them out.
(Sprint to Z4 and AA4)

Before he even begins moving, Boshi notices the battle happening in space. Or, rather, the intense staring contest of two space stations. "(Ah gorilla, guess I gotta call Rosa after this...)"

Boshi moves to (J9), Phase Shifts with PDrone4 (somehow completely missing Ansem when he lands), falls through the floor at (O9) (Ending up on O9 of Floor 1), sprints to (S10), and uses the Portal to teleport to (V8).

Then, Ansem appears next to him. It only takes one glance at Ansem to send him into a panicked sweat. He keeps thinking to himself, "just don't bother him and you'll be fine just don't bother him and you'll be fine just don't bother him and you'll be fine"

MU tries to get to sleep... she absolutely regrets eating that cake now, but goddamn, it was good in the moment.

Bow Kid, on the other hand, still isn't tired. Or at least, doesn't look tired. After looking at the paintings for several more minutes, her head snaps to where the Easel's Canvas is. She smiles as if she just found the perfect thing to draw. She heads over to the Canvas, and starts getting a feel for the tools.

...But before she does that, the checks if the Canvas was blank or not. If it's a work-in-progress painting, she sets it aside, and asks EN to put it inside the barrier for now. She doesn't want to ruin someone's painting with her own! She then places a Blank Canvas (not Toast's Special, that would be weird and awkward and impossible) on the Easel.

With a Blank Canvas, Paint, and Tools in hand, she starts practicing... she doesn't seem to want to have a go at painting something worth looking at just yet...

The Man stays where he is (again), goes Prone (again), and shoots Harpy 6. (not again)

NPC Service

Hat politely asks Chloe (or, well, sends a message) to search for some type of watery Regalia, claiming Venia will want it later. Any other water-elemental items she coincidentally stumbles upon would also be appreciated.

To help endeavors, Hat enlists the aid of the Gathering Golem in Zone 0, improving Chloe's yield.

Battle: The House

"You want to know how empty I feel?! Venia shouts at the Iti horde. "How every day I have to force myself to get out of bed because I can't stop thinking how nothing I do will ever change anything? How terrified of what I've already done and if I'm going to do worse? Sometimes I find myself envying you lot, envy! You don't have to think, or feel like you're awful-you just kill and eat! You don't care about anything else! Makes you the perfect punching bags, by the way! You want me miserable so bad?! Then HAVE IT! HAVE MY MISERY!"

Venia waits for Echoss, then moves up to I16 and simply fires upon the large Netwyrm Head. Her damage is modest, but her bullets appear to be monochrome, or something-the Netwyrm Head is promptly inflicted with Unify! A horrid chill settles around the bullet wounds-the Netwyrm Head is also inflicted with Healblock, denying about 20 HP of regen.

Venia's Blindsider tosses Venia a slide of the Princess Special before it moves to l15. The Blindsider activates its trait again (the suicidal nut), nuking the Large Netwyrm Head and all the foes around it, leaving most of them pretty close to biting it but not quite. (Doubtless this is to ensure Toast's later action leaves no remains for a nearby Corpsetaker to ressurect). It also triggers the Maccao Tailspike, causing even more damage and inflicting at least the Netwyrm Head with Bleed. It remains where it is, hiding behind the trees and glaring at the Corpsetaker.

Venia then lobs the (possibly) last Searing Bomb in the Inventory at the Netwyrm Head (triggering Maccao again!) before retreating back to I15.

"Salix! Get your tumblefluff to detonate those reclaimed, please!" Venia says. "Also, thank you for coming, by the way, and sorry you got sucked into this!"

---

Notes:

-The Blindsider's HP should be 7 points lower due to using its trait.
-Omo's Knight got no SP from any of its fill requirements.
-Chloe should have access to T5 materials to search for.
-Auth needs the immortal accomplishment for a 1 HP survival post-autorevive.
-Packo's tile hasn't been spawned in.

Toast uses her impressive MOV with a portal usage to hop over to L18.
"Here's a crash course in fire safety!"
A dart made of lava forms between her fingers, and she launches it at the Large Netwyrm Head, where it becomes embedded. (Ignite Blood)
"Safety tip number 1:"
Equipping the Elemental Blaster, she spins it on one finger.
"Don't mess with a tired sorceress."
She pulls the trigger, sending a blast of fire right at the embedded dart.

(And then she retreats to N16 and rolls up Chaotic Contingency. Also some new spells.)

Upon seeing the carnage and devastation being caused in his location, Ansem intuitively understands that, whatever is going on, here is not where he's needed. The floor Below him, however... the Darkness there is far, far greater, if only in numbers.

And if he heard the commentary from the ones called Marron and Ette... he deigned to ignore it for the time being.

Without even moving a muscle, a portal of Darkness opens up and he goes through it with his new Guardian, shifting his position to the floor below, even if it is a bit off. He did not expect to see an entirely different portal when he emerged, however.

For a brief moment, Ansem is entranced. What is it a portal for? Where is it connected to? Is it a one way portal, or is it a two way passage? What was the mechanism for power the technology behind this otherwise simple looking ring of material? Better yet, what were the emitters like and what made them tick? Is it supposed to be radiating this much spatial energy, or is it a byproduct of its operations? If it is a byproduct, then that just leads back to question one - what is it for?

However, he's quickly drawn back to the Reality around him by familiar, feral sounds. When he turns, though, he sees that it's not from any Heartless he had come to know of. Instead they were alien, horrifying humanoid monstrosities.

"How fascinating... and troublesome."

He notices the strangely outfitted character turn towards him, but he pays them no mind, instead focusing his dark power a little and judging his surroundings in an instant.

Whatever brought him here had weakened him considerably. One spell could bring the housing structure of this place down in an instant before. Now he could tell that it couldn't even slay the fully hale monster to his front-left. The one to his left and the one relatively in front of him were weak enough to dispatch with ease. That one though...

Ansem turned to one of the things he sensed that wasn't an immediate foe. A stationary turret that was brimming with Darkness. A trivial matter to seize control.

He smiled to himself and adjusted his form. He'd only need to break it once, if he timed it right.

With swiftness honed on the battlefield, though not enough for his tastes, he floated to in between one of the bizarre, shoddy stalls and the wall in front of the one mostly in front of him. More precisely, he put himself spear-length's away from the slavering, wounded beast. With a mere thought, Guardian split from his direction, but didn't stray too far. It circled around the healthy one's striking distance, as if searching for an opening.

They fell for it like the mindless cretins they were.

"Fire on that beast for me! Blow away anything in your way!"

With this shout, Ansem commanded the Darkness within the turret to fire on the healthy beast. In fact, it responded so easily, he wondered if it was programmed to respond to his voice alone.

Even as he wondered this, he didn't miss a step. As soon as the Turret unleashed its load, destroying one of the shacks and then blasting the healthy beast, he furrowed his brow lightly in concentration.

"BEGONE!"

A single shadowy buzzsaw flew from Ansem directly at the once healthy Beast. It didn't even have time to simper as it dug into its wounds before slicing through the rest of it. A far cry from the dozens of volleys he could perform before, much to his pride, which was rapidly wounded by the weakness.

The wounded beast that was still within range of Ansem tried to seize this opportunity to jump the man, but it was here that he broke his indomitable pose for a single second. All he had to do was extend the spear out and the thing impaled itself.

"Your Darkness is weak..." he mocked it as the life went out from its eyes. "Return to it through the Darkness of Death."

Meanwhile, his Guardian hadn't been idle. As the other wounded beast launched itself at the only other being in the room with a spark of intelligence, Guardian extended one of its massive hands and grabbed the beast by the entire length of its body. With a growl, it squeezed until something snapped in the humanoid monster. It dropped the limp body on the ground where it belonged dismissively.

With all three mindless threats disposed of, Ansem turned to the other living inhabitant.

"It seems you have an infestation on your hands." he said with an almost jovial tone as his arms returned to their crossed positions in front of his chest. "How fortunate you were to have me here to clean it up for you."
