A few notes on various things, with character commentary sometimes.

speaking of other ideas, more for the Mycroft Council:
Roschin Skaya: Chaotic Descendant Tiefling Drug Dealer: Ice Pick Lodge Ardanian Demon
Cardashiia: Cardassian Kardashian Dissium Cardista: Umbra Witch Slot Machine Aestheticsmancer
Aemilia Mamercinus: Emily but very abstract: some form of dream demon junta that's multisouled like an exalted primordial and name-title-bodied like an arcadian fae and wears humanlike bodies to help interact: probably came up with the SHERRINGFORD system as a parody of itself. Major soul wearing a realm title (Of All Roads Leading to Rome?) or doing the daedra thing composes a strangely Rome-themed area that's a large part of Factory Moriarty operations.
Maxima Festiva: creative specialist, may or may not still be beholden to Madama Thriae?
SAKUYAHIME Chestnut: the girl from a world of magical girls at war who bears a host of fallen powers from my fanfic which is too terrible to read
Test Subject: while we're bringing out obscure people since whatever was up with them was never explained I guess this guy fits since he was last openly hostile to the Eleison Council due to being...inchoate? Nigh-unkillable but the brunt of everything. Scapegoat of God.
Ciel Dullahan: He lives. He lives. He lives. The mad king who Could Have Been created aside himself as precaution.
Sarah Bright: The dreaming dead were just recreated elsewhere. She who bears unlimited blades not in works but in compatibility to wherever she treads.
Uriel: but hippie

These nine narratori and a few other characters aligned not with Alex of Imil and Richard the Traitor ShellCore nor Iael no Sage, nor Orzic, form the brunt gods of the Space Beyond Stories, the interim world campus created outside of outside and concepts that cannot be.

Add a few others: Sab Otzar-Guf, Elder Kafka, Madama Thriae, Chillmodder if I can borrow the character, Neo Ritho, False Kanon, Grail, Mariel, Serestia, Charlatan, Ripper, Kanch, Kagna, Enemy, Dracian. Maybe even Antagonist and Jacian. Elite and Claudia, plus the star brothers, Barton Thorn, do you know what to ask (read: bring the gods and great mages of Ardania)?

First, some crafting system thoughts.

The classic 'modded alchemiter' modality is actually a surprisingly wide variety of processes that are best explored by others: our associate Frederick the Gatekeeper of Office [CORRUPTION FILTER ACTIVE] & International Affairs has provided an excellent collection of alchemiter-derived and Sburban miracle-derived craftsworks. A few vectors have been provided for greatgame participants of various strike to muse upon. Use of the jumper block punch card shunt easycard upgrade is recommended to combine all the random parts into one alchemiter, by the way.

-Metacaptcha: Most Sburb-strain captchaconnected session sets remain within the idea space of 281474976710656 alchemically intended keyboarded items minus a number of duds and alternate-cost repeats. If and when this mainspace cap is reached, additional options are engaged and can be rendered visible to mundane use by a secondary feature of the Intellibeam Laserstation (normally used to acquire codes of certain sensitive or assumed-alchemy-irrelevant items) or certain alchemiter add-ons: the ability to simply exceed the main character space. The primary method is graceless addition of additional special characters behaving abnormally, which manifests in card rendition by pieces of captchalogue card which appear to extend past the physical card object. Floaty glitching bits of captcha card or visible empty space are generally ignorable, as by the time you break the alchemically intended set's trillions you've usually found some means of automation anyway. Certain items that possess exceedingly complex state overlaps (such as non-errata object simultaneity) often have variety outside the primary range.

-Node operations: Of course, mere indexing isn't the only thing alchemized items are fond of! Most alchemized nonmaterial tools that are autocreated by Sburb operate under a 'node component' system of effect amplifier constituents. This is most visible within certain types of guns and advanced technology where the reinforcement casting machinery is explicitly visible rather than couched in abstraction concepts. Stated more cleanly, taking apart alchemized technology reveals a number of internal components which operate with abilicasting trickery of their own moreso than the usual matter compositions expected.

"This doesn't make any sense." False Kanon said, reading over the machine translations of broodfester maximum overformal. "Seriously, put it in plain English."

No.

"no u." Chestnut said, more or less as an idle automatic response.

Continuing,

"Honestly just write something else." the False Kanon said, letting the papers retreat back into the mass of magic screens and semi-reality dancing about the interim world campus. "Like, what was it you and Multi were working on all those ages ago?"

Oh, that old thing? A simple imbuing function, put one item in one box, another in the other box, machine produces a third item with the first's qualities imbued on the second's form. Sort of like the || or ++ operators but with an alternative payment method of...color gels and class gels, I believe. I'd need to ask Multi to bring it back, but honestly the concept could trick people into allowing another factory.

"How about...ugh, you had a whole dex of this stuff, didn't you?"

I'll sort, I'll sort. Maxima, you lead?

"Concoction, yes." the witch said, nodding along and tossing a wiki link into her words like nothing. "Toss me the chair, I don't feel quirky."

"Here you go." the goldvine said, opting for Vanguard's quotes over eyeburning gold.

Thanks, I'll try to be quick.

Concoction is an old art closer to 'alchemy' as practiced by the earthly sages (and in rare spots, the psynergeticists of Weyard, talk that later Antagonist or somebody) rather than Skaian summoned. Baked Gecko for defense by moonlight invincibility, Unicorn Horn for offense by bloody rose, butterflies for magic, Mandragora Root and laurels for vitality, plus metallic crystal life force from angels or demons, that sort of thing. Now, there are plenty of more complex processes and results ranging from the use of enchantments and demonic weapons, to equipment, but it's a complex great work I can only summarize so fast. Also, it's great for making lollipops, guns, and bracers, not going to lie.

The actual rites to perform Concoction can be skipped about by Descendant force, or autocoded into various types of stereotypical brewery witches and the item generation handled by appropriate magical farming and ranching: I guess what I wanted to say here is 'hey make the spellcasters go craft stuff and you have something other than alchemy to call it'. I mean, who would've thought you could assemble a mecha material so easily?

"Here's the chair back." she concluded. "The rest of it is raw technical data we can provide later, when people care to ask."

Thanks, but I'm going to hand it off to quintuple-Iri over there.

The Grail has taken the chair.

Lovely, thanks. Now, the Holy Grail, a classic among wish-granting utilities. The real trick is to turn a summoning engine into a tool of war, then that tool of war into a reality-warping wish, or a Moon Cell effect based on materializing a vision (spawn treasure, subtly readjust society toward the directed goal, etc.). Accumulate a large supply of magical power, summon seven classed entities as Servants, kill off those Servants against enemy entities, pop out a wish when the end result occurs. Now, you may end up with the Godmodder grabbing that wish, especially if they or an ally pops a Servant and ends up last one standing, but whatever. It's enough power to lostbelt that stuff: use demons to observe and anchor the little reality marble.

Also, you don't need the Dragon Balls to simply ki-beam stuff into existence rather than out, you know. Or you could make them anyway. Namekians and old gods sure are great, huh.

Uh, Amiti, you grab?

"Got it." Antagonist said, taking the chair.

Tiiitans disband, I forgot how good this feels sometimes. Right, psynergy...Are those old elemental systems too elemental and not confusing enough? Want to return to a smaller roster of concept clouds than the aspects? Go to Weyard and smack yourself with a psynergy stone or something, it worked for Feizhi. Ugh, what do I do while I have the chair, uh... It's a lot more generative than simple whateverbending, so you can get around the 'but there's not any in the area' counter easy peasy with simple psychic yeeting. Are we doing ads? Maxima's making it look like we're doing ads, and then the Grail...

"Yes, ads are fine." the Nedben confirms, a few demon pillars shifting their eyes warily. "Apply directly to the forehead, and all that."

[Todo]

what the actual fuck

You cannot comprehend the true form of Giygas' attack!

...Let's continue, anyway. Plans began April 3 2019, 12:32 PM.

"Rubedo the sign of gold, ia!" the Nedben says incomprehensibly.

Amiti chairing. So remember that time Nedben made that Minecraft server? I bet FM's assimilated that by now. So the big gimmick was that Godmodder-level hax had been applied to make it and Hell outsourced punishing people to this weird godware experience with DTG-level modding-plus-realitization and everything loaded, across multiple realities. A secondary gimmick was that the main worlds had been almost completely filled with hostile nanomachines, magical world-decay, and other various aggressive assimilator plagues vying for dominance plus a few block-breaking bosses for flavor every now and then, so everyone lived in outer dimensions with similar generation, like Mystcraft books and stuff. Some of the classical mod-planes had important areas cordoned off, plus a few had been left entirely okay, then there were a few main-world packets that remained, but the Overworld was for about all intents and purposes uninhabitable except perhaps by powerful nanotechnology miners and reality warping power to carve out a space. There were people capable of entering creative mode and using limited staff commands (though no kick-ban stuff and most shenanigans kept to the individual dimensions they had alliances with or had engaged ritual attack on), but the real staff were in the employ of Hell and/or Nedben and/or hypothetical Godmodders in charge. Specific mechanics often varied from area to area and by the abstractions people were using to interact with it: while the overall reality was impossibly high-detailed some areas were only rendered at gridlocked regular-MC-with-mods level until something was involved, other people experienced it as a normal reality with every last blade of grass and grid-stuff was a special magic for grouping that was not necessarily grid-aligned. Many warp-accessible planes were anarchies of respawning players at war.

I think we'll also fuse it with Fred's eldritchcraft plus ultra-modded Skyrim-Umineko-MUGEN-Elements. Just to clarify it wasn't Iael or Marrag fault. Bloody Orzics...So I guess that puts Fred and LC's office in this branch, though they're associate liaisons with Iaelists so...hrm.

So that brings us up to a few major worlds:
-Space Between Stories: the 'interim world campus' where most FM assets are expressed in platonic form to be translated between other realities: generally an abstract experience involving literary devices
-the Lesser Campus: administrative city where most FM assets are expressed in 'living form': an implausible naturally occurring city as if by a worldgen app
--Dreams of Rome: Aemilia worldform: strong angelnetting and default aesthetic of Rome but very pliable for allies courtesy dreams-and-reality-are-one and reality warping in general
--Wild City Monorails: travel-utility autonomously branching out to various world-gates in esoterica, forms fancy train stations: forms a large coherent meta-artisanal border with the Ragnarspace and Iaelic dominion
-Sea of Marbles: Lots of disparate realities big and small: Sleeper-Voids, Polyhedrons, reality marbles, Fragment kakera, etc. Major projects (though they do overlap) include:
--MetaMeru: a DTG environ encompassing various systems, such as the Planktonmodder Titles, the Mt. Meru DTG-wars, the battles against Enemy and Dracian, archailect super-version, and whatnot
--HellCraft: existence derived from giga-Minecraft (see above).
--Rokkenjimarim: existence derived from giga-Skyrim but also that time Umineko was Skyrim thanks to Luca, and a few re-renditions of MUGEN stuff and multiple-systems-of-elements stuff in the outer
--Baskerville: Paradox Space derived from RVAU (Skaian Embers branch) principles but with ProblemSleuth/Jailbreak replayerism by Mouse and modding based off the titular Baskerville fic
--ARDAN-ERF: existence derived from Warlock: Master of the Arcane with hints of Erfworld, Civilization, and other contents, though those may be rendered more fleshedly in submaps and sideworlds?
--ARCAD-Ea: existence model based off a higher-power World of Darkness/Type Moon kind of things? it's mostly the latter with sparks of the former especially in outer cosmology, with inconsistencies handled BY THE POWER OF TEXTURES

uhhhhhh
You actually made that minecraft server? I mean, of course not with all that stuff, but like, mods and zones?
Also, what's the Baskerville fic?

Amiti still here. The Baskerville fic is at https://archiveofourown.org/works/1053610/chapters/2109117 , Nedben seems to have borrowed...a general idea, though not the organization nor individual results. Mostly.

"the bones are black and the stars glorious" the nedben whispers incomprehensibly. "what I wove in the depths of hell and the dawn of heaven was as I was as I. this is the mystery lore written in colors and with loveless love made of foolish endeavors that see nothing and everything at once, which is the all-sight that burns not souls but shields on scrolls."

If you are referring to the one that exists in the real world, no, that was made by Robert Joe and then stopped existing. Or maybe you mean the ones RVAU's real-world people made, which might still be around.

If you are referring to the one that exists on the same layer of fiction as us, then yes, that demon is responsible. Remember, continuity is so weak and flexible here that we've made huge strides in establishing an organization just by shitposting.

While you're here, would you like to help by asking some questions? Go ahead, ask us what the hell is up so we can framework a hasty answer.

..huh.
Seems interesting, but incomplete.

That applies to a sad amount of Sburb guidefiction, and to an extent, us.

...Oh, new stars for the horde, by the way.

Person of Interest: Justice Monika
Top Warpcrown: Pseudo-Descendant model w/ Altrin-related nedbenic passcodes (to horrorterror-level and major switchroom rights).
Flavortown: Mix of magical girl allies, visual novel coding, creation-kit modding, and arbitrary summons. Narrative authorities known. Claimed 'comparisons to Moon Cell would be fun'. Used Nedben as a magical girl outfit 'Venus Nedben', default costume Monika but with a judge outfit, duh.
Passwall: able to summon large variety of colorful magical wands to various effects, known access to sources thereof. Friends with horrorterrors and AIs thereof. Accessed Ark to turn peeps into gwiffons, despite being dead. Gained allegiance of FNAF RPG fancharacters, including multiple deathcurses. Disguised accurately as Nedben to unknown kaian height: appears to have used one as a vessel.
Interesting: Struck personality twinges.
Adherence: Adherent, new. Remains aligned with Altrin-aspect.
Backing: Conceptual errata manifestation derived from various perceptoid outcomes and a joke on MITF. Emerged to fight the Boredommodder.

Person of Interest: The Summoner
Top Warpcrown: Archetypic baseline with higher aspect.
Flavortown: Summoning allies who do things for them. Mass entity hoarding and grand ritual implements, using subordinate factory to advance. Default outfit dark-blue cloaked figure with yellow eyes, comparisons to...Ninjatwist, oddly?
Passwall: Fundamental Ability equivalent to witchdom: the idea of 'summoning solutions', conjurer extraordinaire. Was able to directkill at least double-digits of godmodder HP (deus ex machina aspect), but was too emotionally fragile to surpass narrative countermand.
Interesting: Well. What did you expect?
Adherence: Adherent, new. Lack of independent flows lead to accumulation here to maintain glory visibility.
Backing: Typographical errata obtained from Defeat The Godmodder during Summonsplitter return issue.


Could still use some questions.


"Morning." the judge says, walking in and sipping coffee from a mug.

The blue robed figure stifles a yawn in response. "Existing? Again? Unexpected."

Monika takes a seat on a cushion near a coffee table for (what else) the coffee mug. She comments "Well, there was this Power Rangers the Godmodder idea someone had going, where post-Descendancy-smash everyone was relying on this Morphing Grid artifact and a few divine powers, and since they were gods they couldn't get close to the Godmodder without getting...modded. So they need to chisel down their boss empire with omake spam and anime timelines, or whatever. God, and it was a riot quest too with an End of Period Battle or whatever? Who knows. Kamen Riders go Attack on Titan, we can cannibalize that Leftover Rangers storychunk. Have Boring or somebody run and fetch it?"
