All relevant buffing actions should go before those they buff.

This is both the Turn Order for the Great Buffstacking and the actions for the HEXAGONS, CYPRESS, ETTE, ECHOSS, OMO, CHAIRHEIR (partially).

Ette: Go first. Use infinite range Rescue Rope Asha (F16). Safety Keane. Adoration Cypress (E15).
Cypress (Adoration): System Shock Keane: Focused -> Autorevive. Wait to continue turn later.
Asha: Sword Beam Keane.
Mexagon: Move to (F18). Foam Marron (Power of Friendship: MP, midmovement). Foam Irongutta, full action.
Hexagon:
UNCERTAINTY: One movement path goes to H14 so that Remiel can Relinquish. The other movement path stays still
From the second path: Foam Keane with Bonus Action Foam (Smith’s Boon). Ordo Keane (PoF-MP). Special. Unshackled Power Procs.
- From the location of Irongutta, Mexagon, Hexagon, and Monika: Secondary Special buffs are sent to Keane. +Vampiric intensity and +Vampiric and Empowered duration.
Ette: Needlework Mexagon. This helps purge OblivionBlade, procs Radiant Fluff for big mending and guardian.
Echoss: Eagle Eye Keane. Creation Biscuit Keane, applying Evasive. Boosted by the perk, this becomes Evasive14.
Kalis: Skynet Erroveil to Keane.
Remiel: Krietzkrieg Keane.
Keane: Move to (H17). Harmony the Core. ""I love money."" - Yung Venuz"
CHAIRHEIR: Cast Special five times on Keane.
doomsday

Cypress (Adoration): Finish the turn. Shoot a Butterfly with Basic Attack. Creationmeld Clone Keane -> Star.
Cypress: Take normal turn. Guard. Creationmeld Clone Keane -> Trio. Then, use a Scroll to Keane -> Irongutta.
Keane: Self Channel Magic -> Asha.
JOE: Place Boosters. JOEpost probably has specifics.
Asha: Move to (M16).
Nidra: Channel Magic Status Copy Keane -> Marron.
Omo: Refresh Nidra.
Nidra: Channel Magic Status Copy -> Destiny.
Destiny: Scroll self -> Teag.
Kalis: Move to (P18). Scroll Asha -> self. Split.
Kalis1: Channel Magic Asha/self -> Venia.
Kalis2: Channel Magic Asha/self -> Berg.

BEFORE ASHA ACTS

Beech: Throw Asha a Knowledgepoint.

FIX FROM LAST TURN: Since Relinquish is cheaper against Rose Cult, Remiel should be refunded 22 MP.

As part of the Buffstackening, Remiel uses Bonus-Action Focus Energy on Keane.

Actual action, at any point after Hex: Bonus Action Mantle Projection4, to get rid of the upkeep penalties. Then, from Hex's Uncertainty'd position, Relinquish UMalice1, at half cost due to being Rose Cult.

<ROUND 348>

It is Real Keane Hours. To begin, Keane equips the fabled SAWBLADE BANJO. A much better name than "Harmony", to be honest. An enchanting melody sings out from the bloodstained metal, drawing the Core unconsciously towards it. With Ordo infused into the blade, he splatters the iris of the Core, ripping its scar wide open! Ordo energy leaks from the wound! And yet, the Core is undettered.

C<0>RE: WHAT ARE Y<0>U H<0>PING T<0> ACC<0>MPLISH?
C<0>RE: SUCH A PITIFUL WEAP<0>N CANN<0>T H<0>PE T<0> KILL A G<0>D SUCH AS I-

Keane continues his assault of slashes, spilling more Ordo into the fluxflesh of the eye. As his guitar solo hits a crescendo, he beckons over the Chairheir to join in on an attack. (He's rather confused as to why, but okay.) The eye is torn into 256 ribbons! And yet, the Core refuses to perish. Countless scars upon its surface, it reforms once more.

C<0>RE: EN<0>UGH <0>F THAT.
C<0>RE: Y<0>U CANN<0>T H<0>PE T<0> KILL ME! I AM A G<0>D! A G<0>D B<0>RN FR<0>M THE GREATEST BEING T<0> EVER EXIST!
C<0>RE: I AM INVINCIBLE! WE ARE INVINCIBLE! WE CANN<0>T BE-

...Throughout the while time Keane was savaging the Butterfly, a certain Spherebreaker was at work. Which Spherebreaker? Uh, it really varies depending on who you ask- nobody's really quite sure who did it. The airship rises into the sky, the Core glaring at it as it approaches.

C<0>RE: Y<0>U...
C<0>RE: WAS THIS A... DISTRACTI<0>N?

The Airship splits into thirteen spectral copies, each glowing with the unfettered power of Ordo. A storm of holy rounds stream through the air from thirteen angles, riddling the Core. Fluxblood splatters from its form, splashing across the already blood-slick floorboards of the Sphere. Throughout it all, the eye regenerates rapidly, every bullet hole healing near instantaneously.

C<0>RE: I CANN<0>T BE... DESTR<0>YED! N<0>T BY SUCH A... PITABLE P<0>WER![
C<0>RE: I WILL... N<0>T ALL<0>W IT!

Though it can regenerate from everything thrown at it, the streaming blue bullets are that of pure Ordo. Every wound causes the concentration of Ordo within the eye to build. Up and up, with every round, the raw amount of Ordo energy skyrockets. The Core rapidly warps in an attempt to avoid the incoming barrage, but the ceaseless storm from the baker's dozen of airships continues to perforate and scarify the butterfly.

As the energy reaches its peak, the Core flops to the ground. The brackets around the eye begin to flicker out. Psi glares from beyond the boundary of the Iris of Rebirth. Bullets continue to riddle the Core, and the other Butterflies are too busy fighting their own prolonged battles against the Spherebreakers. In a desperate attempt, the Core cries out, behond the boundary.

C<0>RE: MY L<0>RD, MY L<0>VE
C<0>RE: PLEASE, SAVE ME
C<0>RE: Y<0>U MUST SAVE ME
C<0>RE: I AM Y<0>UR L<0>YAL PAWN
C<0>RE: I WILL D<0> WHATEVER Y<0>U ASK
C<0>RE: JUST
C<0>RE: S A V E
C<0>RE: M E
Ψ: ...
C<0>RE: MASTER!
C<0>RE: MASTERRRRRRRRRRR-

A pillar of purest Ordo spews from the iris of the Core. What remains of the Butterfly twitches and shivers, crimson reverberations echoing from its body. The scarred and mutilated flesh of the beast swells up, the light of Ordo glowing from behind its frayed skin.

In a glorious burst of Fluxblood, the Core becomes little more than another stain upon the battlefield. Little wisps of Ordo steam off the viscera in little streams. It is entirely unclear as to whether anything of the Core truly remains.

<<<0x0>>>: AAAAAAAAAAAA-

The whole of Trinity roars out in pain as the crimson chain that once linked the Core to it shatters and breaks.

<<<0x0>>>: Y<0>-U...
<<<0x0>>>: T-THIS... MUST BE AN ILLUSI<x>N!
<<<0x0>>>: Y<0>U CANN<0>T HAVE DESTR<x>YED THE C<0>RE!
<<<0x0>>>: PERHAPS THEY WERE... AN IMPERFECT BEING, TAINTED BY THE B<0>Y XAVIER.
<<<0x0>>>: YES. THAT IS IT.
<<<0x0>>>: Y<x>U CAN DESTR<0>Y IT. BUT N<0>T THAT WHICH REMAINS.
<<<0x0>>>: WE ARE... WE ARE UNST<x>PPABLE! WE ARE THE PERFECT CREATI<0>N <0>F PSI!
<<<0x0>>>: Y<x>U WILL BE <0>BLITERATED, SPHEREBREAKERS!

Though the Core lies in ruin, the remaining two Butterflies continue their endless assault!

---

It is still Real Keane Hours, but now with a line break. Because that segment above ended up being more "cutscene" than anything else. Still in the rather unsanitary sewers, Keane suggests a plan to Chloe; fake hands! Maybe that could be used to destroy the altar? Chloe bobs her head.

CHLOE: Ooh! That'd probably work!
CHLOE: Shouldn't be too hard to fashion together some hands, either. Here, I'll use these Uniform Logs, and a bit of Fluxblood...
CHLOE: ...Fluxblood is blood, right? We are on the tree planet where people ooze sap n' junk.
CHLOE: Eh, it'll probably be fine.
CHLOE: D-Does Maple's blood taste like... syrup? I wonder...

Chloe whittles down a Uniform Log into a set of two wooden hands. The bottom is then hollowed out, and filled with a small amount of Fluxblood. They're sort of like, wooden water balloons that are filled with blood, have way too thick a skin, and really aren't water balloons at all. Look, if Taeda saw Chloe handling two disembodied hands like this, she'd probably freak out and get Helix to smite her.

Once they're prepared, Chloe slaps them down onto the Blood Altar. They make this wet, squelchy sound as they splapp onto the stones. Immediately, they're locked into place! Stone spines rip into their palms, sucking the miniscule supply of Fluxblood in the hands in a matter of moments. Once the Fluxblood's gone, the altar makes an awful sucking noise. The wooden hands splinter and crack. The altar itself follows in turn, cracks embedding themselves into the surface. Crimson light spews from the cracks as they deepen and widen. The wooden hands Chloe placed on, completely out of material, begin to break down and get sucked into the altar.

Completely covered from top to bottom in cracks, it's miraculous that the device hasn't exploded yet. From the middle of the altar where vials are dispensed, power wells up. Chloe takes a step back, slapping down a few blocks worth of Uniform Logs and taking shelter behind them. She pulls Keane behind the barrier as a vial shoots from the slot at mach one, shattering into a fine glassy mist upon impact with the ceiling. The rest of the altar follows suit, catapulting itself into the ceiling and shattering into thousands of little stone chunks, many of which rebound off of Chloe's little barrier.

Chloe peeks out from behind the barrier. A single glass vial remains where the altar once stood, containing 20 Flux. She carefully extracts the vial from the rubble, and hands it to Keane.

CHLOE: W-We did it!
CHLOE: T-That was... harrowing...
CHLOE: D-Did the Rose Cult not run any sort of safety checks? W-We could've d-died!
CHLOE: Then again... safety checks don't sound very Rose Cult.
CHLOE: We should've sent OSHA after them back when they were still in business! They would've put those cultists in their place instantly!

CHLOE: Anyway, Keane. Anything else to do around here...?
CHLOE: We're on a bit of a roll- if there's anything else you have in mind, I'm all ears!~

Elsewhere in the timeline, Keane witnesses the RIVER OF GOLD. Or uh, the River of Piss. Depends on your opinion of beer. Whatever it is, Keane takes a glass mug and fills it up with Chaos's endless flow of beer. He slides the mug to Sakura as he sits down, the princess snagging it mid-slide and taking a sip.

SAKURA: ...Huh. Didn't expect it to be actually... really good!
SAKURA: Given that, y'know, it's coming from his disgusting mouth and all.
SAKURA: Not bad, my loyal servant. You get a pass. Help yourself to some of the supply as well, given that it's... infinite.

Sakura raises her legs. The lawn's starting to get soaked with alcohol, and she'd rather die than smell like a common boozehound. Sakura pretends to understand what Keane's talking about as he goes on about something regarding flipping coins, and re-tunes herself into the conversation when he brings up the matter of the safe. Eight digits is totally doable. Getting his biometrics back though, when his corpse was moderately obliterated-

SAKURA: T-That laser was for h-him!?
SAKURA: Jeez...
SAKURA: What'd he do to piss off WARE, besides-
SAKURA: ...
SAKURA: actually no i get it nevermind

SAKURA: But... that raises the issue of how we get in.
SAKURA: Maybe it'd be easier to just break in. Can that thick skull of your crack solid metal?
SAKURA: Or uh, whatever sort of equipment you have? I'm not saying I'll use you as a battering ram, but if it'd work...

Also, Keane has this super cool plan to crash his spaceship into the trash can.

SAKURA: I, uh, appreciate the noble sacrifice and all, but...
SAKURA: That's a BIG gorillaing trash can! I-It'd probably take like, the entirety of the Tabletopian fleet to disassemble such a thing!
SAKURA: Unless you've got like, the goddamned Dream of Unity at your fingertips, I doubt your little personal vessel could even dent the damn thing!
SAKURA: Maybe we really should just wait for your team of idiots to kill Trinity, or whatever the hell created that trash can.

Also, Keane's phone transforms into a lil' guy. What's he doin'? Eating beer-soaked grass. monmchnh

Adria shoots back at the Butterfly. Verbally. Also probably in a more literal manner, too. Psi must be disappointed in his creations, is he not?

<<<0x0>>>: Y<0>U KN<x>W N<0>T <0>F HIS L<x>VE
<<<0x0>>>: HE W<0>ULD NEVER CREATE S<0>METHING UNW<x>RTHY <0>F HIS L<0>VE
<<<0x0>>>: LIKE HIMSELF, ALL HIS CREATI<x>NS ARE PERFECTI<0>N
Ψ: ...
<<<0x0>>>: HE WILL RETURN T<0> US S<x><0>N.

Also, Nia is told to go and make use of that shiny Ordovenom she got from Hannah. She bobs her head- come the end of the round, she'll go stab whichever eye has the most HP with it. Probably. Unless both eyes are dead. Then she'll drink it, like she's always intended. It's too delicious, y'know?

---

Venia smites the Butterfly with the Power of Love! The Power of Love, of course, being a pink sword with F L A M E S. It is unclear where Venia found this, or how she's about to unleash the power of a Purge upon the Butterfly with it. Maybe it's a skin for the Revelation's Ruin? Yeah, that'd make sense.

<<<0x0>>>: H<0>W DARE Y<x>U C<0>MPARE Y<0>UR W<x>RTHLESS L<0>VE T<0> <x>UR PURE, PERFECTED DEV<0>TI<0>N?
<<<0x0>>>: DISGUSTING CREATURE! C<x>ME, SH<0>W ME THE P<0>INTLESSNESS <x> <0>F Y<0>UR EM<x>TIONS.
<<<0x0>>>: THEY ARE N<0>THING!

Little does the Butterfly know they're probably about to eat 10k damage or something like that. I don't know. I haven't looked at the battle as of me writing this particular line. I should probably remedy that.

Ah, also. Venia decides to browse the flavors on display within the Ainfini. Milk, some sort of immortality, and... a horrific, eldritch darkness that Venia has somehow mistaken for Nia. She uncorks the Ainfini, and chugs it on the spot. Time slows to a standstill for Venia, and Venia alone. The world around her darkens, the Sphere fading from vision. In the inky black void of a sky, a violet light shines down upon her, a spotlight in the shadow. A wide, wicked closed-mouth smile forms as a tear in the vantablack skybox.

Her voice perforates Venia's entire being.

???: I love you.

The sky cracks. Dozens more of the same smile rupture the skyline, hundreds of violet skylights glaring down upon her with their judgemental gaze. Shadowy hands form from Venia's many shadows, ensnaring her body and lifting her towards the purple stars above.

???: I love you.

The mouths open, revealing true nothingness. An absence of color that not even a shadowy black can fill. The hands continue to ensnare Venia and lift her towards assured oblivion, and yet... she can't move. She doesn't want to move. Her face goes blank, the deity's smile becoming her own. The spotlights flicker, becoming perfect little galaxy-sized hearts.

???: I love you?

Venia blinks, finding herself back in the midst of a heated battle. She's obtained the attention of... something. Whatever she's done, it can't be undone. Not even Nia or the Butterfly have noticed what just occurred. Was it a hallucination? Did Nia accidentally dump a whole lotta LSD into the Ainfini? I wouldn't put it behind her.

---

JOE attempts to craft more Channel Magic scrolls! Psi's body twitches. The Curse of Repetitiveness is invoked, and JOE immediately implodes. Non-lethally, of course. It's just that he'll need to spend some time untangling his body- it's rather unpleasant having your leg translocated near your brain. That'll definitely cut into his crafting time.

---

Lato continues her hunt! Can she survive against the endless horde of Seekers? As it turns out... yes. Seekers are Seekers, and with the help of a Mirror Image Latwo, she's able to hold out against the hordes. But at the same time, though she can put out bullet after bullet, and slash after slash... the horde's not thinning. And the raw mass of bodies is beginning to squeeze against the two heroes. At this point, they'll be crushed to death underneath pure biomass! Especially with all those other Seekers pushing and ramming themselves against the mounting corpse piles, it may as well be a makeshift trash compactor.

...And there's no word from Marron yet, either. The puppets are surely on their way to assist, right? RIGHT? It might be worth trying to escape this predicament, just in case her army doesn't make it in time. Getting crushed between two walls of Seekers would be an incredibly awkward way to die.

<PRECIPICE OF OBLIVION, ROUND 3>
An execution is now available on the Combined! Shouldn't be too hard... right? As for what's going on in the battle... well, EVERYONE has the Buffstack now. You should be able to win the game pretty easily, right? The Iris did grow two more healthbars though. Think you can punch through it?

((Action post for the dop above!))

Waiting until he is buffed and Chloe has moved, Irongutta moves over to L12 and activates Together We Dance!

In a series of whirling movements, he attacks Projection1, then Projection5, then finally moves to J13 to swing at the Cursed!

This post is split into two rounds: 348 and 349.

<348>
<BATTLE: THE PRECIPICE OF OBLIVION>

Berg teleports using Eager Beaver to I16, and whacks Projection2 with his Basic Attack!

QUOTE

<0><0><0>: AH. NEVERMIND. <0><0><0>: Y<0>U'RE AS H<0>PELESS AS ALL THE <0>THER IMPERFECT BEINGS. <0><0><0>: DIE.

cA: You first, tyrant. When your hideous mass lies broken and twisted on the ground, your love and hope crushed forever, only then will I consider your offer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

<349>

Berg Basic Attacks the Iris!

Asha stays in Pierce Stance for 9 MP, locking her MP regen at 0 this round, then casts Sword Beam on Keane when the time comes.

Later, when her turn comes around again, she moves to (M16) and throws a Glitchneedle at The Combined. She then uses Mirage Storm: Violet Blade on the Combined. Now that she's in Slash Stance, she uses Deepen Cut on The Combined. It gains (Stabblight4, 2).

Deepen Cut should deal...
(16) base damage, 4.3x from buff levels: (69) damage per
7 times
All of its DoT effects (including GlitchToxin) gain +32 intensity, except Bleed, which gets +3, and Laceration, which gains +1.

She gains 0 SP, since the Glitchneedle dealt 0 damage.

Reunixn

Keane owo's at an intensity rivaling Nia herself. With each new buff added to the stack, the light enveloping him intensifies. He shivers with pleasure as WARE boosts the stack with the power of Descendancy, his Imagination, Vim, Pulchritude, Electrophorics, Inland Empire and other vitals skyrocketing. Mere exposure to the sheer, overwhelming power causes Keane to start ascending higher into the VAMPIRANKS, capping out as he reaches the final vaunted RUNGTIN in the UPPER CRUST echelon; that of EDGECASE DICELORD, SCOURGE OF THE ROULETTE WHEEL, WINNER OF LOTTERIES. Keane has become sufficiently advanced, and as such is now nigh-indistinguishable from God.

KEANE: Oh, baby, that's the stuff!
KEANE: Like, holy hell, this is probably better than drugs? At least I assume. I've never done drugs.

Kicking off from the flux-covered ground, Keane does a little loop in the air, soaring around WARE and his throne.

KEANE: Seriously, I can't thank you enough.
KEANE: Tell you what, I'll buy you dinner after this. My treat!~

Uh-oh. Keane's crushing hard. I swear to god, I can't take him anywhere.


Keane flies to I15 and shooty shooty bang bangs the Iris with his full action, pinging it with the Fighter Jet for good measure.

Chloe Blood Adventure 4: Now With 100% Less Blood

Peeking meekly from behind the barrier, Keane accepts the Fluxblood vial and deposits it very gently in the inventory.

KEANE: Hmm, let me check. I'm sure there's probably something else to resolve here...

Keane pulls up a holographic map, and browses for a few seconds. His face falls.

KEANE: ...Ah.
KEANE: It appears there are some corpses still remaining in the library.
KEANE: Poor Scarlets. It's... probably possible to revive them, yeah?

Chloe's heroism rating will skyrocket through the roof once she helps raise the Scarlets from the dead. It's too bad she's straight.

---

in cott it would be really funny if we made an item called the sakuranfini or something

Sakura is now aware of WARE obliterating her father with lasers. Yeeha. But, she has Questions.

KEANE: Can my thick skull crack solid metal, you ask?
KEANE: ...Unfortunately, no. I've tried. Please don't ask.
KEANE: I have a bunch of other stuff with me on hand, though. There's probably be something useful for regular safe-cracking in all of it...

Very, very quietly, Don't Stop The Party is playing from the gigantic Sphere in the distance. Keane glows faintly. Due to the transitive property of buffs between battle and RP timeclones, and the effects of Shattered Chronology, Keane might be able to open the safe with his bare hands. He probably counts as a walking war crime right about now.

KEANE: I think we'll be fine, in all honesty. The Spherebreakers may be a bunch of lunatics, but they are terrifyingly competent lunatics.
KEANE: Tell you what- how about you go take a shower and get yourself cleaned up, Your Highness.
KEANE: I'll look through my stuff, and we'll regroup once you're finished in order to prep for our little Citadel infiltration.
KEANE: ...Or maybe not. You're the boss, after all, and this beer isn't really going anywhere.

Keane equips an alcohol-proof red carpet and unrolls it in the house's direction, providing a safe path through the sea of beer, should Sakura decide to take it. Another Keane timeclone drags out a keg, placing it underneath the Chaos Fountain to catch the precious alcohol before it can continue flooding the entire planet. Project Beerium when.

KEANE: ...Actually, what even is your plan?
KEANE: Do you have anywhere to go after this, or are you just... winging it?

---

it-iPhone

The Seeker spawned from Keane's cell phone is gone. Dang, that's quick. It appears to have abandoned the flooded area in favor of scooting towards the Chairian Outskirts, judging by the fact that it seems to have stopped every few feet to nibble on plants. It probably can't do too much damage, right...?

Bauhaus says "It's basic attacking time!", moves to I14, and then basic attacks all over the Cursed (using Rapier buff).

<<<0x0>>>

Adria smiles warmly as the buffstack gets applied to her. She's much more relaxed than she ought to be.

ADRIA: ...So this is what it feels like...

Sophia hops on one of the spectral airships and starts piloting the thing like it was her own. Adria cheers from below.

ADRIA: That's my girl! Get 'em! ...Be careful, though.
SOPHIA: :3

truly menacing

Adria, on the other hand, looks at the rapidly decaying Cursed.

ADRIA: You're next, bozo.

ORDERS, WHY NOT, THESE FIRST

CHAIRHEIR: Arbiter's Power Acacia, Triofusion, Marron

ACACIA: Eat Suboiti, Unleash Hell on the Cursed (Fullcrit due to Arbiter's Power)

MARRON: (L13), Laser NorthEast (Hits BPalms 5+6 and Projection3, all fullcrits due to Arbiter's Power), Retreat to (L14)

SMILING: Basic Attack Scales 4 + 5

TRIO: (L13), Smash Ball, Butterflyswatter NorthWest (Hits BPalms 1-3, Projection 1, UMalice1, Iris, all fullcrits due to Arbiter's Power)

GOD HAND 1: See Serpent's post

XAVIER: (L13), Basic Attack North-west and North-east, retreat to (J15)

ACTUAL ACTION

After all that nonsense, Adria sends the Cobalt Scar to Kalis1, moves to (H20), uses Full Attention To Praise! (+5 Buff Levels, 1d6), then Loads another Bug Zapper (Thyme) into her weapon (18.5(Buffstack)+5(FATP)+5(Load)+4(Skynet)=32.5 Buff Levels and +10 CRT). She then eats a Woodreaver Skewer, waits for Hexagon to feed one to her, then Specials... anyone, it really doesn't matter at this point. This boosts all of her loaded spells by +6 Buff levels and +15 CRT to all spells loaded (Bug Zapper 1 gets 27 Buff Levels and +40 CRT, while Bug Zapper 2 gets 38 Buff Levels and +25 CRT)

ADRIA: I almost feel sorry for you. Almost.
ADRIA: ...Mm, actually, nevermind, not even close.

Nidra
Use very sheepy on self.
Move to I14.
Basic attack the Iris.

BATTLES - BUTTER FLY

(Destiny presumably hitting BP4.)

After Destiny but before Xavier moves, God Hand 1 should move one space towards BP4 and smack it.

If it isn't dead due to crits yet, Bass and his Light Clone 1 should also go attack said Palm. This should be enough to kill it.

Meanwhile, Star moves to (V16) and casts Purify on Beech, only hitting debuffs. They Infinidrop another Infinifruit.

Beech should Mindcrystal Veil. Taeda should Holy Stream Beech.

[Battle but not]
JOE recieves the buffstack and presumably begins glowing brighter than the sun from the incredible amounts of magical power.
(I considered saying something to the Chairheir here but decided not to.)

[Battle - technically tentative but there probably won't be cause to change it.]

MainJOE moves to I15, Alter Realitys enlightened-Empowered, scans a Branded Palm; waits until the Palms are dead and all player movement complete, and then swift-casts Terraform (8 tiles; 6 tiles are Dense Forests, and are placed on O9, I9, O8, I8, O7 and I7. Their purpose is to reduce the effective range of the Branded Palms most threatening attack, 'Into Oblivion', by 2, as the Branded Palms move without teleporter when using it. for Range 1 attackers, the Cardinal directions of the eye are being left open, and can be opened/closed later. this also applies to any other problems this may cause. Terraform!
The remaining two tiles are Fortified tiles and go under I15 and L15, simply because they're spare).
3 GP is spent on Eterna. he should also have full Fruit at turn end, and neither JOE should have Royal Insurance charged as MainJOE used it before creating MirrorJOE.

MirrorJOE moves to N19, chomps a warpfruit to L16, Alter Realitys Enlightened-empowered, Scans the Combined*, and once it won't bother anyone else, swift-casts Terraform to put Dark Forests on K11, J11, M11, N11, I11, O11, O10, and I10; then retreats to L15. He also spends 3 GP on Eterna.

For item actions, the two JOEs fully repair the Tinkers Construct Wooden Axe using its repair-item-action feature.

*if the Combined was already Scanned, he instead Scans the Chairheir while on N19, or HornetNe from the same location; if everything he could possibly scan is already scanned I guess he whacks the Iris with his action instead, I think probably at least one of them isn't pre-scanned so I'm not putting much thought into what to do if they are.

Asha switches to Blunt Stance, moves to R17, and attacks Crimson Scale 3. If for some reason it survives, it gains (Exhausted3, 3).

Zone 6 - The Eclipsed Citadel

Lato and Latwo realize that if they remain in this position, while they'll hold it just fine, they will in fact die of "too many dead bodies in here" syndrome. One of the pair instinctively goes for a flame weapon, but remembers at the last second that sewers are usually filled with extremely flammable gas, and as such are probably not the places to be using those.

"A rather irritating conundrum. We require breathing room... Metaphorical breathing room."

Not much time to think about where to move to. Just figure out the closest place and move. Lato changes her weapon type to some kind of ethereal semiphysical orb, then pushes north with a powerful blast of wind, aiming to knock the tide of seekers away for just long enough to let her and her copy run past.

...Sure, doing so puts them right in front of both the bilequeen and a scourgeking, but it was either go north or go south, and at least this way there's a bit more room to maneuver.

---

Battle in the Sphere - The Precipice of Oblivion

The trio watch the imminent utter obliterated of the Combined. Or, two of them do, at least - Verdana breaks away briefly to participate in executing the execution. But once they're all joined back up together again, the fusion cracks its neck, then its knuckles.

"You know, now is probably a good time to do that thing we were gonna do... Right, that. I'm pretty sure the others won't mind us borrowing a smash ball for it. That is not borrowing. Borrowing is temporary. Using the smash ball would not allow us to return- Yeah yeah I know, no need to get all literalist. It's special attack time!"

The trio move to L13 and crack open a Smash Ball to top off the SP bar. While there, they cheerily wave at the Iris, who is probably offended by their very presence, but not able to do much about it just yet.

The fusion shifts form, blinding white light (and traces of Ordo for some reason) spiraling in the air around it, partially to cover up exactly what is happening and partially just to look cool. Distinct shapes can be made out through the brightness, though it's difficult to get more than a silhouette...

Once the light has faded, the trio have apparently morphed into a giant cannon. An assortment of Lato's swords can be seen swirling around the barrel, which is in turn constructed of Verdana's red crystals and features a bulky supporting structure made of the same substance. It seems like there's a focusing lens in there too, but it's hard to make out from any angle. Especially the back, since one of Calibri's eye constructs is taking up a lot of room in the rear half of the triple component construct.

The swords rotate rapidly as the cannon pivots to a different angle, not aiming at the Iris like one would expect it to, but instead focusing its line of fire off to the side. The swords then begin to glow, the supporting structure ignites, the eye construct charges up...

"Behold. Our. Power."

BUTTERFLYSWATTER

The cataclysmic combined power of the trio thunders forth, Calibri's eye construct firing a gigantic beam that rattles the structure of the cannon to the core, yet that resonates within the crystals and amplifies further. Excess energy radiates into the spiraling swords, then the beam breaches forth from the very end of the cannon, the swords launched along with it.

Three different Branded Palms, a Projection, and an Unfiltered Malice are all unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of the full force. The edge of the beam still manages to clip the Iris, some swords impaling through its form, though it wasn't the main target so it'll likely come off with some relatively minor scars at worst.

...Firing a shot that powerful seems to have worn out the cannon's components. The eye construct flickers, the support structure smolders, and the swords that return to orbit the cannon droop a little in the air...

Loading.

Destiny moves to S12, stabs BPalm4, then retreats to S15.

Destiny also sends Sacred Geometry to be upgraded by Nia.

Teag's action will be to... uh... he don't really know what's going on right now, so he's just going to guard and wait for his weapon to reload. I guess he puts on the Timestop hat.

Auth focuses purifying energy into Beech, attempting to break their indoctrination. In other words, Auth uses Kindness on Beech. If Auth can, somehow, get a divine shield, he'll circle around to U17 and use his Bonus Action Basic Attack to purify an extra turn on Beech and apply... evasive, I guess?

Remiel basic-attacks the Iris, converting to Thyme via Pulchritude. Not much else to do.

Venia gives the Combine a simple, ferocious stare of pure fury as the Airship delivers a dozen ferocious bombardments, refusing to so much as blink until it is dead. Only when it is little more than remnant Fluxblood, dust and a vague afterimage does Venia speak. "... Good riddance."

Venia moves to R13 and immediately dumps six Phantasmal Forces into the Iris, slapping it with Blind and capping its damage. She then uses Material Transfer with Needle Conjuration (from P10), hitting the Iris with damage and nobody with healing. aiN then decides to ravage the Iris... However aiN does so.

Venia requests the Scavenger Service-all slots remaining-to look for Sanctified Shells.

Venia also requests the Sleuth scan the Chairheir and Trinity (or The Hornet's Nest if Trinity is already scanned, or Smiling Faces if that is already scanned too)

<349>

Venia witnesses the end of the Combined! The Airship delivers a holy bombardment against the Combined. Even through a ferocious storm of mind-rending corruption and the ripping and tearing of simple universal concepts, the airship remains solemn. Not a single one of the twelve ghostly airship copies are swatted out of the sky. Rather, it is the Combined who has been splattered against the woodwork. Panic wells up within the iris, spilling out upon the earth as fluxblood.

C<0>MBINED: THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.

It remains motionless as the overwhelming power of Ordo from the airships' barrage begins to rip apart its body. The wings of 1's and 0's fade, leaving behind whatever it is was projecting its one eye, the appearance of which was stolen from Nia. The form rapidly shrinks, the eye reducing to little more than the size of a normal human eye. A hollow shell of Nia herself manifests, one eye blown out revealing a fathomless void. Tears are present all over this Nia's body, oozing not blood, but distorted nothingness. A wicked smile crosses its lips as a hand reaches for Venia.

C<0>MBINED?: VENIA, VENIAAAA.
C<0>MBINED?: W<0>N'T Y<0>U SAVE ME?
C<0>MBINED?: I AM AS MUCH HER AS SHE IS ME.

C<0>MBINED?: W<0>N'T Y<0>U SAVE WHAT MAKES HER WH<0>L-

C<0>MBINED?: WHAT WAS-

In an instant, the Combined vanishes. Not a trace of it remains, save for an inexplicably massive pool of Fluxblood for what was supposedly a digital entity. The third crimson chain, now shattered and without an eye, spasms like a creature who just had its head lobbed off, fluxblood spewing from the metal.

This, of course, leaves only the Cursed. With two broken chains sitting next to it on this pantheon of gods, it almost seems lonely. Utter, primal horror inhabits the Cursed, the sole surviving member of Trinity.

The Cursed, futile as things look, carries on its ceaseless barrage.

Ah, something I forgot from last round. Bergilmir tells Trinity to die first. The one remaining eye scoffs, as much as an eyeball can.

Keane hits on WARE. In response, WARE creates a brand new kind of Iti: the Restraining Order Goblin! A piece of paper with arms and legs, which is also a restraining order! It also has a BIG KNIFE. WARE hands this little guy to Keane. The vamprobablity man™ is no longer allowed within Range 1 of WARE, as enforced by said BIG KNIFE.

WARE: sir you scare me
WARE: please leave i will not hesitate to call the police on you

The Zweet Police hums ominously in the background. It is unclear as to why their police siren noise is a nightcore remix of Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics, or how said song can be made incredibly ominous through the addition of the mysterious note of "red" and "blue", but is it certainly ominous. Also, the Police Zweet have shotguns and a +3 to Police Brutality now. It would be best to stay away.

Elsewhere on the map, Keane stashes away the vial of Flux into the inventory. It has already been accounted for in the readout since last round, but still. He then investigates the world map through Sussui's premier mapping service, Goggle Grids. Looking at around say... uh, (BH40), he finds a few corpses. Is it possible to revive them? Chloe shrugs.

CHLOE: U-Um... probably?
CHLOE: I'm not versed in resurrection magic like... at all. But it has been done for Acacia and that random guy in the basement of the Citadel, so why not them?
CHLOE: Hold on, let me call up an expert...

Chloe equips her Mobile Device! She calls up Marron, who doesn't have a mobile device. She still succeeds in establishing communications anyway though, thanks to Chaos secretly being in Marron's pocket at the moment. And, as those familiar with Chaos's deepest lore know, Chaos is a functioning cellphone.

MARRON: CHAOS WHAT THE gorilla, HOW THE HELL DID YOU-
CHLOE: Ah, Marron! Hello!
CHLOE: Could you help us with another resurrection ritual? We have-
MARRON: W-W-Wha- AGAIN?
MARRON: S-Seriously, why does everyone think I'm the one with mastery over life and death?
MARRON: At most, I have mastery over death! B-Because I kill people! W-With violence!
CHLOE: W-Well... you are the one with the most experience. Could you help us? Pretty please?
CHLOE: I'll make it up to you later! I promise!
MARRON: Ugh...
MARRON: I know how it sounds, turning this down, b-but I'm busy!
MARRON: I'm on another sidequest at the moment, and there's only one of me!
MARRON: D-Do it yourself! Y-You've seen me do it, s-so just like... copy me! Or something!
MARRON: ...O-Or at least, j-just wait a few hours, o-okay? BUSY!

Marron slams Chaos down on the ground. He explodes into a glitchy slurry, hanging up the call. Chloe gently stashes her phone back into the inventory.

CHLOE: So... I guess I could try to replicate it?
CHLOE: I-I... I don't have much experience on that end, t-though...
CHLOE: Like, I attended one class about Marron's blood magic stuff at Magic Club, a-and while it was informative, I don't think I can revive someone just with that one lesson.
CHLOE: Muhhh... and I don't just want to leave them, either!
CHLOE: Keane, any ideas? You're a vampire- maybe you can do blood-stuff better than I can?
CHLOE: Or maybe we can do some alchemy, or ask Adria, or ask Chaos...
CHLOE: I don't... really know. Reviving the dead is hard.

As Chloe ponders a cure for critical amounts of Calliope Mori, Keane decides that he should comfort Sakura for a sec. Even though things seem dire with Ire's Tastes in Music the mother of all trash cans looming on the horizon, Keane has faith in the ragtag band of idiots / fools / lesbians that call themselves the Spherebreakers. For now, he suggests, Sakura should get cleaned up. Take a shower. Things like that. The princess sighs.

SAKURA: You know what? Sure.
SAKURA: If there's nothing I can do about it, may as well clean up or something.
SAKURA: Then we can go loot some gorilla.

Keane rolls out an alcohol-proof red carpet, which parts the Beer Sea. Sakura crosses the divide into the house, where she promptly veils herself in Fog of War. While she cleans off, Keane plants a keg below the Chaos Fountain to prevent the flooding of Sussui via alcohol. Keane begins the seemingly endless cycle of planting kegs below Chaos's maw, and sealing them off. Actually, far as he can tell, Chaos's stream of alcohol is beginning to slow down.

Keane manages to close off and seal his third keg of beer by the time Sakura finishes. She sure took her sweet time in there. But that was to be expected, right? She's a princess, what's she going to do? Not spend thirty minutes in the shower? Preposterous. When she arrives downstairs, she's dressed herself not in one of the provided dresses that Keane provided, but... a suit of loose-fitting leather armor, fairly similar to what Nana or the other members of the Chairian Legion might wear. The garb is clearly much too big for her. In addition, where'd she get this? The team's inventory? How'd she get access?

SAKURA: Alright then? Should we get going?
SAKURA: If we're breaking back into the city, figured I should blend in.
SAKURA: No way in hell I'm going to let myself get jumped by angry peasantry again.
SAKURA: Ah, guess I'll also need a weapon that looks like it belongs to a normal-gorilla peasant would have.
SAKURA: Got anything? Can't be an unarmed soldier.

Ah, also. Does Sakura have a plan, even? After raiding the vault, where does she plan to go?

SAKURA: Huh? Um... for after this?
SAKURA: gorilla, I don't know.
SAKURA: I'll find a way, though. I am an esteemed member of royalty, after all!
SAKURA: My talents are second to none! With just a bit of cash, I can make anything happen, right?

SAKURA: As for the vault, though. YOU'RE my plan.
SAKURA: C'mon. We got a bank to break.

Also, during the time that Sakura was cleaning up, Keane got to work on a mysterious potion! The Princess' Perfect Potion! A brew befitting the beautiful Sakura. Will it let her beat up Adria and Plana for those assaults on her honor? I mean, probably the latter. Maybe not the former. Though, we can't help but wonder... was putting that blood in a good idea? Who even knows? Was mixing together multiple types of blood a good idea? okay probably not

Finally, the little guy™ has vanished. Gamers all over the world will mourn the vanishing of Little Guy, eater of delicious beer-soaked grass. :bwaah:

Lato continues to fight off encroaching walls of Iti. Thinking on their feet, Lato swaps her weapon into a sort of ponderous orb! It unleashes a powerful flurry of wind, punching a hole through the northern Mountain of Dead Seekers. Squeezing through the hole, they come face to face with the source of the problem- the Bilequeen and the Scourgeking! The queen absolutely refuses to stop mashing the "seeker" button. Someone's gonna need to shut them up, and that'd probably be Lato.

Then, from down the stinky tunnels, there's a visible plume of light. A radiance that grows closer yet closer! It's a swarm of Fumo Lato's! Which still have grenades in them! Taped to firework rockets! Using professional puppet skills and glued on aerofoils, the plushies zip down the tunnel, directly towards the Bilequeen. One by one, they dive straight into the Bilequeen's mouth! With no more than a second of delay between the first and last blast, the Bilequeen's innards are promptly perforated by cotton, sparkles, and sharp metal fragments. The entire back end of the Bilequeen erupts into a small tidal wave of Thyme Matter, and the beast goes limp.

MARRON: Sorry. Got sidetracked.
MARRON: I thought taping them to rockets would get them to you faster, but it turns out I'm not a rocket scientist, and that actually like, wasted a turn?
MARRON: Whatever. It was probably cool.
MARRON: ...To be clear, you are alive, right?
MARRON: It'd be totally awkward if my cavalry arrived a minute late or something.

With the absence of the Bilequeen, Lato is more than capable of sweeping away the Scourgeking and the remaining three dozen Seekers in a matter of minutes.

MARRON: Well. That solves that problem.
MARRON: Hopefully Star's not too pissed that we just like, splattered a bunch of random Iti a few hours before the Sphere went down.
MARRON: Couldn't be helped, r-right?

...There's brief silence over the intercom, the comms device, or whatever the hell they were using to communicate.

MARRON: Anyway, given that the Sphere's probably going to pop soon, think we're good to just like, chill?
MARRON: With that infestation dealt with, there's probably nothing else that can slip through before the Iti are left fangless or somethin'.
MARRON: Come on back up! And take a shower, stinky!

uh oh stinky

Venia commissions a few things. Legally, we already "quoted" her post up above, but whatever. Venia pokes Chloe, asking her to find a whole load of Sanctified Shells. She returns with exactly four of them, as well as a tattered Rose Cultist hood.

CHLOE: T-There were j-just... a lot of Rose Cultists down there, p-playing with a whole stack of shells!
CHLOE: A-Apparently, they just... f-found a bunch of them beneath a floorboard, and decided to play c-chess with them?
CHLOE: The floor is m-made of solid stone! H-How'd they find a floorboard to p-peel up!
CHLOE: Anyway, I had to play a game of chess to get my hands on these...
CHLOE: I-I... lost, but I got to keep the pieces I took?
CHLOE: Didn't think that a Rose Cultist of all people would be the real Gary Chess...

In addition, the Sleuth is asked to scan the Chairheir, as well as Trinity.

<PRECIPICE OF OBLIVION, ROUND 4>
The boundary has been cracked. The Iris of Rebirth, the culmination of the Butterfly's will, the basis of Trinity, has been scarred irreversibly. More fluxblood than what was previously theorized to exist stains every exposed surface on the battlefield, transforming the premises into a technicolor hellscape. The Cursed, barely clinging onto the concept of existence, flutters weakly in front of the boundary between heaven and ceaseless destruction. It yanks on its ethereal chain, its own essence shooting down the linkage and into the veins of the portal.

CURSED: E-EN<0>UGH! S-ST<0>P!
CURSED: C-CAN'T Y<0>U SEE!? I-IT'S P<0>INTLESS, ALL <0>F Y<0>UR STRUGGLES!
CURSED: I'VE T<0>LD Y<0>U! Y<0>U CAN'T ST<0>P HIM!
CURSED: THERE'S N<0> P<0>INT! ST<0>P FIGHTING!
CYPRESS: Portal stability: dropping. Portal: highly destroyable. Psi: stoppable.
CYPRESS: Destruction effects: unknown. However, no choice. Breach the boundary. Destroy the portal. Lock Psi away.
CYPRESS: Continue this assault! For the sake of/--////--/--/-

Cypress blows his voice processor. Omorika splashes a bit of water on his throat, cancelling a potential electrical fire.

OMORIKA: He's right. Though however impossible this situation seems, we're... somehow standing against the Psi Godmodder himself.
OMORIKA: Us humble mortals, holding their own against a deity spoken of only in mythos...
OMORIKA: We can do this.
CURSED: WHY? WHY?
CURSED: WHAT INSANITY DRIVES Y<0>U T<0> STAND AGAINST THE BRINK? THE END?
CURSED: WHY D<0> Y<0>U STAND, UNWAVERING?
CURSED: WE WERE THE ULTIMATE BEINGS! N<0>NE <0>F THIS IS P<0>SSIBLE!
OMORIKA: We stand here, because you're threatening OUR people, the ones we love!
OMORIKA: Far too long has your master's influence tainted this land, invading the minds of innocent people!
CHLOE: Y-You... you ruined my life!
CHLOE: You stole away my brother, my best friend... I can't forgive it! I won't!
MARRON: You hurt my sister, gorillahole!
CURSED: WHO? I HAVE DONE-
MARRON: W-Wha? Y-You don't... remember?
MARRON: J-JERK!

Marron shoots yet another needle into the Cursed. With how things have generally gone over the past six or so seconds, this is probably the least painful thing that's happened to it so far.

CURSED: ST<0>P!
CURSED: I CAN'T! I CANN<0>T DIE! N<0>T UNTIL... I CAN WITNESS HIS RETURN!
CURSED: MY L<0>RD, S<0> L<0>NG HAVE WE AWAITED Y<0>UR RETURN...
CURSED: TH<0>UGH Y<0>U ABAND<0>NED MY C<0>RRUPTED DUPLICATES, SURELY Y<0>U WILL LISTEN T<0> THE PLEAS <0>F A PUREF<0>RM CREATI<0>N?
CURSED: Y<0>UR CHILD...
CURSED: PLEASE, RETURN T<0> ME! LIBERATE ME FR<0>M THIS HELL!

The chain of the Cursed yanks with incredible force, nearly dragging the butterfly directly into Oblivion. An endless deluge of hands slam through the boundary of the portal, ripping and clawing at the Cursed. Dozens of other hands wrench themselves into the portal frame. With a sickening tear, the Cursed's chain is torn from its body. The other, completely slack chains that once belonged to the Combined and the Core shoot into Oblivion, following alongside the Cursed's chain.

CURSED: MY... L<0>RD?

Though Oblivion gnaws away at the very existence of the chains, they dive through the malice, into the aura of Psi's mind. They pass through, totally vaporized. Ruthlessly they snake around the emancipated corpse of Psi, binding him tightly. All three chains are pulled completely taught, still chained to the portal frame of the Iris of Rebirth. The freed Cursed glares into the ceaseless destruction as the chains rattle and shake, as if possessed by some demented specter.

CURSED: HE... HE IS... RETURNING T<0> US!
CURSED: MY L<0>RD, SUBSUME ME WITH Y<0>UR ENDLESS GL<0>RY!
CURSED: I SHALL GIVE MY ALL T<0> Y<0>U! T<0> Y<0>UR REBIRTH!

CURSED: THE END <0>F Y<0>UR LIVES APPR<0>ACHES, SPHEREBREAKERS.
CURSED: MY L<0>VE... HE WILL RETURN.
CURSED: I AM GLAD THAT... I WAS ABLE T<0> SEE HIM, <0>NE LAST TIME...
CURSED: HE WILL RISE.

The chains begin to coil. Inch by inch, the chains return to the boundary. Slowly, ever so slowly, Psi begins to drift. His awesome aura follows his desiccated corpse, his thousands of manifested arms losing stability as their source draws ever closer to the portal. The Iris's very existence begins to waver. Wood catches flame, stone fragments only to be held apart by pure energy, and the unholy runes flare with newfound radiance.

Xavier stands before the portal frame, witnessing the true creator of his greatest work. The basis of everything he worked on, the shifting, growing, chaotic entropy.

XAVIER: Everyone. This is it. Now or never.
XAVIER: It's... the end of an era.

Era's End has manifested.

Best of luck to you, Spherebreakers.
