The Shade, still at the base, decides to just speak to nothing in particular. He's extremely serious in his words.
"...I refuse to do anything like this ever again. Next time, I'll just enter a STRIFE with the person in question.
...not that it WILL happen again, I hope.
I pray to whatever diety you believe in that it won't happen again.
And, if I'm going to be honest, I got zero satisfaction out of this execution anyway.
Let's just call it... a bandwagon effect.
It's beyond my moral codes of trial by combat, among other things. But I still did it...
He needed some sort of punishment. He got it, but I never want to do this kind of punishment again over a simple duel."
The Shade is starting to look a bit depressed at the whole ordeal and how he was a part of it.
He turns his head halfway towards the ship, his body still facing towards nothing in particular.
"Gladius- no, Chloe. I hope you can forgive me for going against my moral codes. Same goes for Ette."
Finally, he gets up.

He lightens up a bit, now that that's out of the way.
"Welp, back to doing literally nothing and being nearly useless. Seriously, I need some combat situations to take part in."
---
I scan the Night Ghosts, and then I go south because I don't want to deal with them just yet. Nor the Gold Vein. It seems like a provocation item.

The Operative just listens to the beeping sound of the dropped call for a long while, before finally moving again to return the phone to... wherever he got it from. It's kind of unclear.

"After today, I doubt anybody would want to repeat those actions."

He then... meditates, I suppose, spending the time to reflect on recent events. Not much else he can do...

<TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY>
Revan joins the game! Welcome! You still need to pick Spells and Specials, but you have a character sheet. For now. Jon then hooks up some Toxic Fungi to his Scattergun via usage of wire bits. This does absolutely nothing; you now just have some mushrooms attached to your scatter. Maybe try infusing the bullets...? Numbersoup then cuts down a bunch of trees by the Rundown House.

??: ...what the hell are you even doing?
??: Do you have some strange hatred of trees?

This fails to kill all of them, but you obtain another 80 Cinder Logs. Roxxanne then goes to talk with Glitch Temmie, and the person at the Rundown House.

"That's certainly an interesting prospect, killing Bill Cipher. If you kill him, we'll gladly give you plenty of stuff. I'll also let you use the Tome, despite how dangerous it is. But only before you engage the battle. We'll we watching you to ensure that no unauthorized usage happens."

...now, the person at the Rundown House.

??: Greetings, Roxxanne. I'm quite familar with the term "descendant", thank you very much.
??: After all, I did make one.

..oh.

ut: The name's Elem. Xavier Elem.
ut: So you know about the egg. Who cares if he's a Morality Core? It's not all that great. Hell, I feel liberated that he took the title from me-
cc: whoaaaaa
cc: you're alive?
cc: ©ool.
ut: gorilla off, Chaos.
cc: no
ut: ugh
cc: didn'(t) (t)he egg gorilla (t)he plo(t) and s(t)eal your s(t)atus so i ©ouldn'(t) kill him?
ut: What an expositional question. Yes.
cc: ah. didn'(t) (t)hink you'd be lef(t) alive.
ut: Surprising, isn't it? His "death game" was childish and simple. Anybody could do it.
ut: But yes, back to subject at hand, Roxxanne.


You continue to talk after getting rudely interrupted by Chaos...

ut: Seeking a way out of the Mindscape? I heard that Puppet Girl; forget what her name was- she found a way to get out.
ut: She said that the Dreamer, positioned at the peak of Nightmare Mountain can "print" items and objects out to reality.
ut: This also includes living creatures; constructs of the mindscape.

...after a quick session of DISCORD REAL-TIME POLITICS, you opt to not mention Chloe to him...

ut: You want the orb? Sure, why the hell not. You seem like you know what you're doing, unlike that last person.

The X-Saber proceeds to lift up the orb, and tosses it to you. You obtain the Zone 3 Foe Rush Orb. You then ask about Bill.

ut: The triangle? I honestly don't care about him. He doesn't really do much, besides offer clearly one-sided deals.

Redstone then violently self-terminates, via method of self-exorcism. He promptly vanishes completely, and comes back as a new character. The trinket is actually flavorful enough (and fixed), so... you can have it! It's also been buffed with increased damage, and no ally damage. Chlorin, appearing outside of the MW Anti, tries to greet Gladius. However, the door going inside is locked. A shame. You then combines 4 Titanium Bars, and a Wooden Plank to make a Titanium Revolver... Base. Where's the shooty-power-stuff and inner mechanisms?

Toast then comforts Ette a little more. She stops cowering, and stands up tall. Like really tall; she's a freakish 7'2 or something. Toast then captures an observation drone via shifting sands and nets, then tears it apart to upgrade Pit Lord, consuming it, another drone (obtaining 4 Wire Bits and 1 Optical Device per drone), and 3 Durasteel. This restores 1 AGI to it. The item hits its max level.

Toast then inquires as to whether Marron wants a new hat or not. Despite inviting yourself in to her house, she seems to be fine with it.

tc: I don't know...
tc: Maybe something that'd prevent grievous head wounds.
[small][small]tc: Like the one you gave me. It's fine, though...gorilla.[/small][/small]
tc: ...that's also something light, and unobstructive.

Marron passes you an old hair ribbon. It's torn and tattered, falling apart...

tc: Ette made it for me a long time ago. Maybe you could restore it...?
tc: Do that, and...
tc: ...hate to say it, but I GUESS i'd join you...?
tc: And only you. gorilla the rest of you.

Toast then examines the equipment plans. They're for the basic armors; +2 HP for the Plating, +5% Dodge for the Cloak (which seem to be similar to the modifications in her clothing), +2 MMP for the Robes, +1 Crit for the Aura, and crits for the Glass Armor. Toast then puts some lesser memory orbs into the Hard Light Projector.

"CORN DOGS CORN DOGS YUMMY YUMMY YUMM-"

...you take that memory out before the crazy giant hard-light corn dog monster can murder you. You then put another one in, and view the resulting memory...



You then also opt to open the Mysterious Canister. Thee's a wooden head inside, along with some water, and woodworms.

HELP-ME-GET-ME-OUT

cc: oh hey, you found ikea's disembodied head.
cc: ire's pre(t)(t)y insane, reviving his head like (t)ha(t).
cc: you should (t)o(t)ally use i(t) in ©raf(t)ing; make a living ro©ke(t) laun©her or some(t)hing.

...hurray? Pricey then downs a HP Orb.

/still working

Darkside then opts to head south from the Outer Wall, jumping from platform to platform to descend. You find a quaint little house, no bigger than your lower leg. As in the knee, and whatever's below it. The footing you have is small, but it seems there's a "shrinking device" which you could use, despite it's small size. Maybe the house is worth checking out? Sunny then heads back to the base, but can't access the MW Anti to make his computing module.

...meanwhile, inside the MW Antidisestablishmentarianism, Gladius wanders the ship after hearing the rather violent noises of Redstone's exorcism, trying to find out exactly what's going on. She then stumbles upon what's left of Redstone. She lets out a single, exasperated gasp, falls to her knees, and "breaks down," curling up on the floor, bawling her eyes out. It'd be advisable to break into the ship now before she does something crazy.

<ZONE 6>
SOUL flicks the generator off, adding +1 D O O R P R O G R E S S . It then inputs RYPRRM into the terminal, adding another bit of progress to the door. The Secretary in the zone with AC isn't THAT stupid. It gets offended by you suggesting that the fish there is SCP-173, and slaps you silly with it. There's no way you're triggering AC while it's still there. SOUL then also enters the Hollowed Cavern, sweeping through it and adding +1 DOOR PROGRESS.

<BATTLE: THE TRANSMISSIONS HUB, TURN SIX>
With Ayaze forcibly mind-slaved to your side and the Abandoned dead, victory is yours! The battle screen will stay there for a turn. The SOUL still needs to be individually slaughtered, but that's not much of a hassle; it'll only take an action.

...Bill has a Player Cap of 12, which will change based on how much help you get from other allies.

Chlorin promptly freaks out at the sight of the recently turned on fire Gladius, and due to (wild west) instincts, he melts 4 snowballs, puts the water in a bucket, and rushes in. He then stops and throws the water bucket into the inventory when he gets sorta close to Gladius and realizes that Gladius is not a fire and is in fact, a girl on fire. He then gets grabbed by Toast who is then turned in to Gladius. He then simply says:

Hi.

Chlorin then attempts to take a test fire at Toast the floor of the MW Anti with the Titanium Revolver Base, and of course it does nothing. Chlorin then puts the base of the revolver in the inventory and walks right next to the outhouse at the Ascent before voluntarily exploding right next to the door. He then respawns.

That's weird. Usually, the parts are automagically in there.

Chlorin swaps ()Turn for Fireball.

Chlorin takes a Cinder Log and coats it in iron except for the top via Level 120 Blacksmith skill, using .5 Iron Ingot, making an Iron Ingot shard. He then melts the shard into 6 bullets, which he inserts into the chamber. He then uses his Level 120 Blacksmith skills to use 1 Titanium Ingot to create the internals (the gears and gorilla), which he then welds into the Revolver, as well as the Cinderwood lighter thingymabob that makes the gunpowder explode. Chlorin then cuts off the bark of a Cinderwood Log, which he pounds into dust and inserts into the gunpowder chamber. He goes outside and shoots it at the cobble generator. It (possibly) fires.
Chlorin then uses 1 Iron Bar to make a Tactical rail. He then uses a total of 6 Titanium Ingots and 16 Glass Shards to give the Revolver the ability to have different sights, trough making attachable sights, which are compatible with the tactical rail Chlorin made, which he welds onto the top of the revolver.

Titanium Revolver
(7-10) Damage, 3 Range, 1 Retreat (RANGED)

Weapon Skill: Sight Switch. Switch the sights to get different buffs. You cannot act after using this. -5% Dodge Chance when using this skill.

Current Sights:

Red Dot Sight: +5% Accuracy.

x2 Scope: +1 Range. (Add -5% Hit Chance if you feel like the flat range buff is a tad bit too OP.)

Scouter Scope: +1 Crit Chance.

Iron Sight: No Buffs. Only a true idiot would use this.

Chlorin then uses the magical powers of video game logic to make the scopes integrated with the revolver for convenience.

@Redstone, The door is locked, still. Just please do it my way, it's a lot less likely to have Gladius kill herself.

Also, Ire is a canada person.

EDIT: oh.



After that ordeal, Prime!Toast goes straight down to the MW Anti and busts through the door, Koolaid man-style.

GLADIUS, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. REDSTONE DOING WHAT HE DID HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, OR WHAT HAPPENED. IT WAS COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY FOR OTHER REASONS, AND HE WAS JUST REINCARNATED INTO THIS GUY.

Toast reaches behind her and grabs Chlorin, who she places between them (1. You haven't actually introduced yourself. 1b. That's because door is locked. 2. I technically would have enough STR and AGI to grab you anyway.) Chlorin probably says "Hi" or something, idk. As proof, she forms a small portion of her right arm into an orb shape, breaks it off (crystals) and places it in the Hard Light Projector. It's a bit grainy, but it clearly shows Alt!Toast's memory of scrying, and seeing Chlorin appear in the stead of Redstone.

Sorry for shouting, I was afraid you were going to do something drastic. Oh, and sorry about the door...

>SOUL: Fire key at target.

"Um... sure? I guess?"
DarkSide was not a violent person, and would never think of forcibly ripping the house up if he didn't know what was inside.
Even if I just said that.
Even so, to make sure he wouldn't stay shrunk, he takes a single, large splinter about the size of him, uses the shrinking device to try and shrink and then grow the splinter (or if it can't grow, look around for a growing device of sorts before shrinking himself), but no matter what, he still takes the risk and shrinks himself, heading to the workshop first if it's small, or he goes to the workshop as his very first action if it's large. He then knocks on the door to see if anyone's there or not. (Someone bail me out if I end up shrunk for a long, uncancellable period of time). I doubt that I'll be very useful in the bill fight anyway. If I would actually be useful, I don't go in the shrinking device yet.

But I don't want to upgrade my things yet, so I don't do that either. I'm waiting until we get around to Origin Skeletron Prime for that.

Shadow DarkSide decides to stay out of the whole ordeal with Gladius, and lets the others do the talking (i.e. Toast and probably the Operative too), still hoping that she'll forgive him for this regretful misconduct, as well as Ette.

Ace looks around, trying to get familiar with their surroundings. Their face is rendered into a standard Spade. They feel highly weakened, they weren't the strongest to begin with but now they feel down right pathetic.

Ace tries to test any abilities they have still have.

Shifting Sands

Heal

Possession
Allows Ace to take control of an entity for one turn, they can extend it but it has an additional doubled MP Cost for every turn kept in action


The White Figure still appears to be looking for something.

"Hello? Anyone there?"


The SPC Orb rolls over to Ace's foot. They pick it up and hold it, trying to examine this rather strange object.

"Uh, hello? You dropped this...

They try to figure out what the SPC Orb even is before equipping it on accident.

"... Welp, this is useful and nobody has claimed it, thus it is now mine."

>Second Lyra: Exist.

The now standard second map-moving Lyra stands next to Lyra.
>Tazz/Ire: Cry self to sleep over new development.

...Nobody can tell the two apart. This is getting confusing already.

>Lyra: (nick)Name Second Lyra.

"Hmmm..."

L Y K A R I _ _ _ _

Second Lyra is now referred to as Lykari. Somebody is not entirely happy with that. I think it was Oriko?

"Oh! I almost forgot to give you your distinguishing feature!"

I give my newfound sister a nice little bow attached on her head to make her look extra cute! Now nobody will be able to resist us!

>Lyras: UPGRADE PAINTBRUSH.

Without words exchanged, each Lyra begins working on the (what should be) Max non-Mythril tier of the Paintbrush...

Getting to work, each Lyra grabs hold of the Paintbrush and gets to work co-assembling. Lyra tosses the paintbrush up, and Lykari cleaves it in half to detach the handle from the bristles. Immediately, Lyra dismantles the handle further to the clear stone, Titanite Shard, and metal grip it was composed of. Lykari takes the holder and takes the bristles and wire parts off, leaving only a small holder in the wake. With it fully taken apart, the Lyras then begin plotting on the new weapon to behold...

Lyra takes the now parted brush and takes out some other materials: Namely, 10 Durasteel Ingots, 30 Titanium Ingots, and all the other metals from the old weapon. She then takes the Durasteel to fashion out a...stick of sorts. But she still has work to do, as she takes the Titanium and other metal she's taken to fashion a straight-up hammer, which is a lot farther from a Paintbrush. However...

"Oh, come on, Lykari! There's not enough metal here!"
"We're making a hammer out of a paintbrush, Lyra! I think we can get through it! In fact..."

Lykari solves the problem with taking the Titanium and Titanite Shard and other paintbrush metals and fashioning a fairly hollow hammer out of it. Except that, of course, it has two blunt points instead of the hardware you could buy at a store or something. Lyra, seeing where Lykari is going with this, attaches the bristles to the hammer ends.

Continuing onwards, Lykari takes the small clear orb that served as decoration of the paintbrush's handle and drills a small hole through it with whatever shenanegains she inherits from Lyra. She then attaches it to the other slot of the hammer that isn't serving as where the handle attaches...and it fits. Lykari turns it so that the drilled hole now faces to the sky, allowing for the paint to flow, but the thing is that there is nothing to actually send the paint outwards on the ends of the hammer. Lyra has a plan for this, though. If the hollow memory orb can store things, and if she can work out how to make it take them out...

Lyra opens up the hammer, pierces a hole inside it very carefully, and places the Hollow Memory Orb inside. Thankfully, the size of it (it has to have a diameter of, what, 9 inches? The thing is pretty big, anyway.) lets it fit in easily. Lyra then takes each of the paint colors and slowly pour it in with the help of the clear orb's hole...

"Are you sure this was the best idea? You're sure we couldn't just poke some holes in it?"
"Come on, Lykari! I know us, and we're sisters! There's nothing wrong with a little creativity! Once the orb holds all our paint, nothing will be able to stop us with our hammer of paint!"
"You. I can't fight, and we only made one hammer."
"Trivial! ...Now, why has it taken so long? I think we should have heard some liquid sloshing by no-"

The "twin" foxgirls' thoughts are immediately drowned out by the confirmation the Memory Orb has indeed received it when the thing begins awkwardly glowing with the power of the "new memory", despite everything pointing to that not being how it works. But it still worked because Lyra doesn't like things like the laws of physics and thermodynamics.

At the end, the hammer has finally been completed after a whole 5 minutes 14 seconds of crafting, but to the guy who had to actually detail and type all of that up, it feels like an hour. What did Lyra get from that?

Chroma Hammer
(8-10) DMG, 1 Range, 2 Retreat (2 Retreat debatable, possible to reduce to 1?)
PASSIVE: Color Splash
{Insert all the fluff of how you can choose non-banned stat effects for 2 turns and 1 power, except DoT and Glitch, which have 3}. On a basic attack, any non-allies within Range 1 of your target will also be hit with the status effect for 1 turn, regardless of which effect is chosen.

>HealerX: Initiate move: DAB OF THE COSMOS.
"We wni gaain."
The dankness from the dab reverberates through the Transmission Hub.

>HealerX: FINISH IT
A syringe of sanity juice is loaded into the Syringe Ubercannon, which is aimed at the SOUL of Revenge. HealerX pulls the trigger, then the SOUL gets knocked back hard.

Into a portal made out of the dab's dankness. To Mindscape California. The SOUL enters, then realizes that sanity juice is known to cause cancer in the state of California. Which it is in right now. The SOUL falls on the ground, writhing in pain from every cancer known to man.

>HealerX: Crafting time.
INPUT: 1 Syringe Ubercannon, 1 Rallying Blade, 30 Titanium Bars, 5 Durasteel Bars, 50 Iron Ingots, 1 Titanite Shard, 1 Optical Device, 5 Wire Bits, 1 Dog Cream Canister, 1 Green Sap Jar, 1 Green Sap Orb, 1 Green Solution, 10 Glass Shards, a bunch of HP as damage

PROCESS: HealerX takes the Ubercannon and the Rallying Blade, and deconstructs them into platings of their metals. He then pulls out a crucible and then throws the Titanium, the Durasteel, the Iron, the Dog Cream, the Green Sap Jar, the Green Sap Orb, and the Green Solution. He doesn't even seperate the stuff. It turns into a weird green metallic fluid.

The metallic fluid emits a healing field around the crucible. HealerX grabs the weapon platings and dips them in the fluid, making them green and powerful. Time for the inner workings.

HealerX grabs some more Titanium and Durasteel and channels its level 99 blacksmithing. It majjykally materializes a hammer, then whacks the metals furiously until they're shaped into a Gunblade mold. He then pours the metallic fluid into the mold, creating a green Gunblade.

Base. A green Gunblade base. Time for the inner workings, for real this time. HealerX grabs the Wire Bits and some iron, then strategically makes them into the shooty-components. He loads these into the Gunblade base. For aesthetic purposes, HealerX makes the gold into an ornate design for the blade part.

Now for the final touch. He grabs an Optical Device, and reinforces it by spraying Dog Cream on it, coating it in Iron, and putting together glass shards, mixing them with Titanite, and making scope lenses out of them.

But the thing's still not done. An Infusion Altar conveniently rises from the ground. HealerX places the Gunblade mold in the middle, and the Syringe Ubercannon weapon platings, the Rallying Blade weapon platings, and everything else left over in the surrounding slots.

"Sano."

A light red stream of Essentia pours into the Runic Matrix, then into the Gunblade. The Syringe Ubercannon parts dissipate and give their power to the center weapon, which would be the Gunblade. Its healing field grows stronger.

"Po+en+ia. Machina."

Light blue and purple streams of Essentia pour into the Runic Matrix, then the Gunblade. Its inner mechanisms activate.

"+u+amen."

A cyan stream of Essentia pours into the Gunblade. Chunks of dirt fly from the ground into the center, and are fused with the Gunblade. Cyan sparks fly out of the Runix Matrix.

"+ELUM."

A red bottle of Essentia smashes into the Runic Matrix, then a red beam fires from the Matrix into the Gunblade. The other parts also fly into the Runic Matrix, turning into beams of majjykal energy firing into the Gunblade.

>HealerX: Remember that Infusion crafting needs to hurt you.
A purple beam from the Runic Matrix locks on HealerX, and fires leeching pulses at him, draining him of his HP with every blast. He is left at few HP. The product is done.

A green-white Gunblade emitting an aura of protection, and that of healing. Seems like a pretty good weapon. Looks like level 99 thaumaturgy really paid off. Looks like only the gun part works right now.

OUTPUT: Depowered Caduceus Gunblade (?-?) damage, 3 Range, 1 Retreat. (RANGED, LIGHT(?)) WEAPON PASSIVE: Ultima Crusader Rounds. Attacks from this weapon can heal allies. Removes ? duration from all negative status effects on target if targeting an ally. -? DMG if targeting an enemy.

The moment the battle has ended, The Operative sighs, turning and beginning to walk away and onto the next area... that is, until he feels a faint spark. And from that, somehow figures out something that's happening. In about the course of 8 seconds, he's somehow already managed to run from the broadcast shack all the way down to the MW Anti, charges straight through the door regardless of whether or not it is open, and fairly quickly finds the room that Gladius is occupying. He pauses upon entering, glancing at her, then glancing at the remains of Redstone, then glancing at her again. He pauses.

"...Chloe..."

He then wanders over to her, taking in the fact that she's clearly not feeling that well over what she witnessed, crouches down beside her, and reaches out to place a hand on her shoulder... and rather pointedly ignores the fact that doing so probably hurts him due to Gladius's fire aura...

"...I don't actually know what to say right now. I'll admit it, comforting people is... not my strong point. That's not something I can do with my words very well... there's only really one thing that I know how to do... so, I hope you don't mind too much if..."

The Operative then moves about a bit, before hugging Gladius surprisingly tightly for someone who only has 4 STR, and going by the awkward expression he has right now, he genuinely has no idea what else he can really do right now. The quiet sound of his metal plating body shifting around slightly can be heard as his body makes sure to avoid overheating him as best as it can... of course, given that he's in the middle of being in contact with someone who's on fire, that's a lot easier said than done. Of course, if his health gets so low that there is a genuine risk of death, or Gladius gives an indication to let go, he'll reluctantly let go of Gladius for the time being. Regardless, he eventually continues talking.

"I understand that the apparent death of someone who one sees as an ally can be... distressing. Back before I became... well, my current mechanical self, I remember having similar, albeit muted, variations of your own current response whenever I witnessed someone pass away. While those times are long since past... I know how it feels. If there's something I can do to help, don't be afraid to tell me... okay?"

[small][small]"Also I hate to bother you but I only have 21 hitpoints so this has probably left me on uncomfortably low health so could you zap me a few times with whatever form Lightform heals with maybe thanks"[/small][/small]
