Wondering where he would be most helpful next, Wyvern notices a group of Iti... well... directly in front of him, now that the wall is gone. He hops to I10 and slices at the Harmonizer

<ROUND FORTY-ONE>
JOE harvests his plot of Silkweed, gaining 15 bundles of the stuff. He then instantly slams 9 on those bundles into the ground, replanting them. He also tosses 1 Gaia Crystal and 1 Galeforce Crystal into the Crystillery, also taking 4 Shadow Crystals from the plot, and replants one.

Toast then uses 3 Gold Ingots, a Glass Sheet, 3 bars of both Titanium and Iron, as well as 3 Metamagic to create a Portal Device, as well as 5 Beacon Glyphs. Two of these are instantly placed; one at the Fortified Farm, and one at the Crystillery.

<THE HOUSE, ROUND SIX>
So; Chloe and Marron (re, technically)met one another... and, uh, it wasn't very pretty. Apart from that, the main floor is clear, so you may now go and run about this floor freely! Moving up (or down) a floor will give you (MOV*2) MOV upon entering the floor, so you can make a swift entry into the remaining floors and wipe out some Iti!

Kokichi sneaks over to K10 and summons an illusory trap at K9. He then retreats to J11.

The illusory trap taunts the Iti with a variety of gestures of questionably appropriateness.

Xae proceeds down the stairs, moving to R6 & unloading a round upon Swirl1 to finish it off

Originally posted on 2018-03-20 07:54:00

Suddenly, the moment the round finishes, a claw reaches out of the floor, and pulls out all 3 tiles of soulblossoms (then replants 9 in each space), in about 3.2 seconds.
A drone harvests the aurora crystals, and replants as many as possible.
Then, the drones continue bringing in more dirt, Now covering up the claw marks and also making it harder to enter the cavern in a rush.
Also Quote from my last round post: "Then my drones bring in more dirt.". didn't happen, is harvesting things too many actions?

In battle, JOE moves to P9 and very loudly objects to the Unnecessary slaughter of sentients. you do know what jail is, right? and court? He proceeds to make sure nobody kills them, by placing them in the inventory. hey, it's one way to keep people safe! While he's at it (outlawed by popular vote], he notes that "resourceful" doesn't explicitly mention terraform, And places every Iti Corpse on the first floor in his inventory, because he suspects that, unlike the drone and furniture, the Iti Corpses Will vanish upon the battles end, and he does people will object to there being fewer corpses to step over. since he has some sense of not-doing-too-much-at-once, even though he's probably overstepped it by 84 or so Meters, he proceeds to stop running around and sit on the dinner table right next to where he started.
He proceeds to loudly object, despite not being able to hear it, to Tazz's claim that the only people here who are bad to kill are Iti. Rose cult is sentient, if stupid- killing = bad. Iti, at least the normal ones, fine, they're war machines that may not even be sentient*, but if you find someone who talks and hold conversation and either isn't in perpetual suffering, you can save from said suffering, and isn't a GLUT, Don't. Kill. Them.

For a few solid minutes, Marron could hear (within her head) the distinctive sound of a person trying to bash his head in against a heavy metal object, and failing, before finally speaking in an irritated voice that could pretty much be either gender.
cU: Let me get this straight. Marron, you SINCERELY did not notice that, despite ascending to a Trasncendent one of Fire-which is irreversable, by the by-that she was NOT, noticably, searing with the infinite heat of the elemental plane of fire?
cU: Have you been firing those crimson eyes willy-nilly lately? Are you sincerely just colorblind? Did you not notice the complete absense of a katana cyborg ninja attempting to decapitate you for daring to say that kind of crap to her?
cU: Wait I haven't introduced myself to you yet.
cU: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh...
cU: ...
cU: My name is Tazz. Or Xi, I suppose. You fought some kind of simulacrum of my physical form, combined with Chaos'es immense Aquaphobia, in the mindscape, but that's hardly a representation of anything around here. I'm not anywhere near you, anyways, and if things go well I probably never will be.
cU: I know about you because Descendancy, and in case you haven't realized it, 'Descendancy' is, as a superpower, complete BS.
cU: Quick catchup on relevant stuff. Mari and Zetta have both been dragged along with Roxxanne by a dick known as Pane.
cU: Pane is an absolutely massive dick beyond measure.
cU: Take everything you hated about Mari before, now twist it even further such that your first interaction with him would include an attempt to existentially annihilate Ette for being 'some faulty construct' or something equally indicative of how much he hates anything that isn't perfectly human, or slaughtering you for some vauge power-up he doesn't need and then defiling your corpse because basically anything that isn't his precious science is 'sentimental nonsense' that MUST be defiled to prove it has no karmic consequence or anything of the sort.
cU: To be frank, he makes Roxxanne, Zetta and Mari all look like perfectly innocent saints of the highest virtue, and woe betide that he is an exceptionally powerful godmodder on top of this. Had he been present for the final battle he'd have casually offed the Chaos Butterfly like it was casual Tuesday, then casually offed you because you associate with 'filthy pseudo-sapient automaton puppets.'
cU: ... That was a tangent, but I hate him with an infernal passion that will not die and will thoroughly reward you for killing him if you should choose to do so.
cU: Moving on.
cU: Basic reason why you are here, most likely, is the purification of that big sphere over there. In that sphere is an entity known as WARE, who threatens reality blah blah blah formerly a nice guy blah blah blah kill him if you must but find a way to cure him if you can blah blah blah
cU: drill. known.
cU: Chaos may have brought you here for this reason but it's gonna become your reason pretty shortly.
cU: You've got roughly six days from today, if my math is correct, to fix this little issue before he gets out of his wooden prison and kills existence.
cU: Oh, and while still tangential, if you somehow kill pane after this is over I will find a way to give you a goddamn galactic empire to rule over as its supreme queen so please do that.
cU: I cannot begin to describe the amount of hate I have for that abomination.
cU: It upsets me greatly that he's still thriving, but alas, he's probably not here... You'll have to deal with WARE first either way.
cU: Standing between WARE and you are four runes in four zones guarded by both the savage, psychotic purple freakshows you keep seeing around, known as Iti; the savage, psychotic red cult freakshows that want you dead for that scar on your stomach, known as the Rose Cult, who by the way worship the Chaos Butterfly in all likelyhood, or the 'Rose' as they call it; the nowhere-near-as-dickish Chairian Legions, who are still fantastically racist against everything that isn't themselves and who's opinions actually matter so don't go slaughtering them all; the kinda-savaged, kinda-psychotic rebels to said Legions who are not above, well, anything to keep the Legions from doing stupid crap with the Sphere, which is the only reason why they're kinda-savage and kinda-psychotic; Xavier, who may turn around but for the time being is crazy-paranoid; oh, and a bunch of other things that we may not even have a singular bead on yet, POSSIBLY including the Tabletopians, the race the Chairian Legions are threatening a genocide on via that crazy sphere. yes, the people we are techncially trying to save could in fact be trying to kill us. Oh, and the Chaos Butterfly, in the form of WARE. AGAIN.
cU: Allied with us is Chloe; 15, aka Nia, in a very loose sense that is unlikely to last if we don't kinda help her out big time; Taeda the Chairain cleric, who was nearly killed by her own superiors for advocating pacifism; whatever Chairian forces we can make sympathize with our cause, which will likely be few; oh, and Yung Venuz the Gun God, the second-best one-eyed triangular entity in all of fiction, only just behind Pope Bill, not to be confused with Bill Cipher.
cU: In other words, same as the mindscape, again. Enemies are everywhere and allies are precious, precious few, and the allies who can consistently fight with you are even more so.
cU: Chloe is in the last category, IE the most important, and is also not an obsessive jerk.
cU: Please do not insult Chloe, especially not this one as she has little to do with your vendetta against the Chloe you encountered in the Mindscape. It SHOULD be easy, though, considering the total absense of the infinite fury of the elemental plane of fire that Chloe was formerly infused with in the Mindscape to distinct the perfectly innocent muffin you have egregiously insulted from the not-so-innocent firemuffin who egregiously insulted you. (and don't tell her about any of that, either.)
cU: In any case, I suppose it may be preemptive, but welcome back to the team again, and welcome to Fiction, where time and space are in tatters and the infinite amount of world-ending eldritch abominations don't matter.
cU: Who's thyme is it anyways?

Boshi could hear the angry(?) puppeteer noises from upstairs. Don't ask.

In a feat that shouldn't really be allowed in battle, he peeks his head up from the stairs after 'moving' to them. "(Oh, good, thought there was some in-fighting going on. Can't chat, got some iti to slaughter.)" Though he does hear the sobbing from upstairs. He can't help but feel concerned.

So Hat Kid merely puts her Time Hat on Boshi's head to continue the special, while she books it up to the second floor (with her Sprint Hat and Time Piece) to comfort Chloe... by merely existing. Chloe could see Hat Kid staring up at her with the look of 'you ok?' plastered all over her face.

(Note that this WASN'T the move of this turn)

Boshi moves to (V7), and fires SouthEast. Electric resist pierce reminder here. "(You think I'd run from some worthless scraps for monsters? Fat chance.)"

gC: Hah, knowing Auth, I think Chaos would be spot-on worrying about that. Not that I agree keeping you like that is a good thing, but if I was in Chaos' position trying to do the same thing I would do what he did. Also, if it's not too much trouble, please inform him that he needs to either return or extend the loan on the books he borrowed.

Auth sighs, then runs to D2, and revives Destiny with Valiance. Then he looks at Marron and goes to explain, before being immediately interrupted.

gC: Oh, and about that... yeah. The library is super massive, and so am I. I can summon magic apparition thingies to communicate with people. I'm actually flying about just outside the system. I don't like my chances taking on a Thyme Field.

Auth glares at Genoa, who's smirking with her dragon face.

uA: Thank you, Genoa. Er. Yeah, though it's not like the key is a one-time thing. A-after we get you free from Chaos and beat the tar out of WARE again, you should visit and not need to worry about... you know, Chaos taking you out.

Comet moves to P6, uses Discharge on the Screamer, and retreats to P7 again. She moves her clone back up to F2 R6. Comet also claims that bedroom, scrawling her name on the door.

Trait active.

Comet sits down against the wall and takes out a spare solar panel. Upgrading the one she was using at the moment seemed unwise, even during a quiet moment, but good thing it seemed like they had an infinite supply of the things... for some reason. She considers doing something fancy, maybe even something magical, but decides that that could wait for another time. Right now she'd rather just increase the rate of recharge for her energy packs... Still, there were lots of ways she could try to do that. Hmm. What to do... What to do... The sound of fighting snaps her out of her thoughts.

A creative solution would have to wait. Comet grabs some titanium, a bit of glass, and various electronic bits. She settles for simply creating another solar panel and attaching it to the first. Somehow, she got the feeling it wouldn't work if she tried to use two from the...where was she getting this stuff from anyway? Some sort of magical hammer space, no doubt... Weird. Regardless, Comet somehow creates a solar panel in a cave with a box of scraps. She connects the wiring of the two panels, and pockets it for later. Trying to attach it to her gear in the middle of the battle seemed beyond her abilities, even now.

Toast wants to act after Teag this turn.

Emerald moves over to the corpse pile and promptly lets the Metal Iti Stick feast like a king. And then after that he takes the fridge from the inventory and feeds it that Seeker inside of it. And then he plops the Sentinel out, scans it, then let’s his stick eat it
Perhaps change description to “I AM GROWING STRONGER”? Other than that... let’s see what happens.

Originally posted on 2018-03-21 00:04:00

Teag goes up the stairs at N6, goes to O12, and uses Manifest Sword on the trickster door.

Simeon dismisses his bow and equips Griever. Since everyone seems to have things under control, he enters the house.

"Hey Ette, hey Marron, I heard you saying that Chaos is somewhere aroun-whoa." he takes a step back when he sees Calibri's eyes turn black, and another when he teleports away. He stands there for a moment, before speaking again. "How does he do that? I mean, darkness energy through the eyes. I mean, that looks crazy cool. Anyhow, I can tell you've been though stuff, so I'm not even going to ask. Great, I've lost my train of thought, and I'm starting to ramble. I'm just going to sit down now."
And he did exactly that.

The Man snaps out of his mind-controlled state. He looks... slightly disturbed. Oh well, no time for that now. He then heads over to the stairs, heads down, moves over to N7, and gently slaps the gorilla out of Carrion 1. He then retreats to P6.

Originally posted on 2018-03-21 00:14:00

Pionobot looks about, sees that Chloe is gone, and wonders where she is for a moment, before sprinting down the stairs to slam the emergency kit down on the carrion's head, then smashing another lumipod in its face if it isn't dead yet.

The Artist pats Taeda on the head for the heal, then they go on over to Destiny, picking them up and bringing them over to T10, setting them down on the couch to be healed at a later time. They then start collecting the corpses and bring them out side, stacking them all in a nice neat pile to all be fed to Emeralds people eating stick. The Artist also informes Marron know of the plan to feed an entire pile of bodies to a stick about as big an one of our arms, and says a few words to them concerning Chloe.

"So, eh ya, I heard your spat with Chloe, I'm guessing that Mindscape Chloe was more or less a horrible person, since people are just saying this one is not like 'her' instead of defending her, I feel like your grievances with the Mindscape!Chloe are most likely genuine, but I think a better idea would be to help her to make sure that she doesn't become like that fake you saw. This Chloe is a fresh canvas to make a new picture of, so do your best to make sure the drawing you make is a lovely one, ya? Also, do you want to see a metal stick eat an entire pile of bodies to become stronger, because Emeralds weapon can do that actually, not sure how many it will be able to eat tough, since it already are one. . ."

Brutishace casts Drain Life on the Raider at R13, hoping to punish the entire group of foes and provide a little group healing.

He then backpedals to P11, hoping to kite his enemies, at least for some time.

"Man, I should really pack some form of short-ranged ability!"

Not battle stuff:

There's a sudden flash of pure darkness, then Calibri appears inside the house, standing next to Marron. There's a look of disapproval on his face for a few seconds, albeit one that quickly vanishes in favor of his usual calm faint smile.

"Hi. Hmm, you seem kind of familiar. Maybe the predecessor met you before... Heh. Nice to meet you. Or, well, it would be, if things had gone a little more smoothly between you and Chloe."

Calibri's eyes turn pitch black.

"You've probably heard this enough already, but I'll say it again. Please don't insult her. Whatever happened in the mindscape, since I can't really see what went on there, things are very different out here. I'm not like what I've heard of my predecessor, don't expect me to flip out over just this one time... but I do have a limit to what I'm willing to let slide."

Another pause. His eyes flick back to their regular blue colour. He shrugs.

"Heh. By the by. Name's Calibri."

Another flicker of darkness heralds his departure, off to some other part of the battlefield. Namely, up a floor. Next to Chloe. There's a pause, and Calibri's expression darkens significantly for a scant few moments, before he closes his eyes and forces himself to calm down. Once he's ready, he opens his eyes, attention now on Chloe.

"Heya. I saw everything - and yeah, I mean saw, not heard. Sorry about how that first interaction with Marron went."

He pauses for another moment, awkwardly glancing to one side. Comforting people really isn't his forte, shall we say... Still, he's trying, at least. He sort of makes a weird movement, as though instinctively wanting to hug Chloe but being stuck halfway through deciding whether or not to follow through. Also there's Iti around, and that's obviously a problem. After some consideration, he shrugs, deciding to give Chloe a fairly moderate hug while a giant laser eyeball manifests in the air and gives the nearby Iti one hell of an angry glare, just to ward them off.

"...Ugh, comforting people is hard... Hm... Personal opinion here, but... Well. You're nice. And I like you. ...Not sure how much that helps, but I hope it's something."

After a fair while, he releases the hug, and the eye in the air rolls sarcastically before disappearing, no longer quite as necessary to have on standby.

"...Yeah, hope that helped. At least a little. Maybe."






Battle stuff:

EN shrugs, waltzes on up to the spiral staircase at N6, then slides down a floor to the basement. Time for a conditional. If there's an Iti conveniently in range for her to attack, even if it's just a corpse at this point, she proceeds to gun it down. If there isn't, she just steps to N7.

Originally posted on 2018-03-21 02:15:00

Kokichi looks around to see who he can screw with. After deciding that messing with EN wouldn’t be a very good idea, he picks his targets.

Wyvern and The Voice

Kokichi walks up to Wyvern and pokes him repeatedly.



Hey. Heeeyyy! Big Bird! Kokichi grins.



Nice job on letting that Krabs guy die. That was awesome! Keep up the good work, you monster! Kokichi snickers.

He then sneaks up on to the Voice who appears to be resting on the couch. He leans over the back of the couch and next to The Voice’s pyramid head.



Hey, Voice? He says quietly in a gentle voice, nudging the Voice’s head lightly. He then begins to sing, rather loudly.



Todokete, setsunasa ni wa! Namae o tsukeyou ka Snow halation! Kokichi manages to get through only this part before bursting into laughter. Kokichi “nee hee hee”s down to the basement.

In the basement, he notices Krabs and decides to mess with him to. He figures using the same joke twice would be uncreative, so he begins to put his hand in his pocket.



Hey Krabs! Kokichi yells, trying to get the attention of the strange red creature before him.
I got something for ya. Kokichi watches Krabs eyes light up as he pulls out two hundred dollar notes from his pocket and hands them over to him. Upon further inspection, it seems that the notes are clearly fake, with Kokichi’s face plastered onto them, his grin mirroring the one he has now.



That’s special currency. KDollars. It’s the accepted currency on Earth. Don’t spend it all in one place!

Kokichi smiles, content with himself as he runs over to U6 and summons an illusory trap at W8.



Hey Iti-ots! Come and get me! Kokichi yells, mischievous grin still on his face.
