"©haos." Welp, that's another thing off my bingo card.

Alt flies around the fight at the outer edge, and over to the small house. She shrinks herself down, and talks to the guy there. So we have a problem. We found out that the foil will attract a creature which will try and kill whoever is holding it. I don't want you to die, so would you be up to swap that blade for this blade?

She reveals Heaven's Gate. If he accepts, then she hands it over, and places the foil in the inventory. She then goes over to the Vent in Zone Two, and enters.

YIL: A foil is a fencing sword.

Woo! I love shields as a friend!

(Toast be like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YOpEdO23Z0&t=6m20s)

Toast moves to D9, stabs Bill, before shuffling over to E11.

Actions:
Shoot, saddened that he cannot cause even more damage this turn, takes a look at his current weapon of choice.
"Hmm...it'll cause a bit of damage...but eh, it's too bland."
Shoot proceeds to switch out the rifle.
"Now, I want to get the same damage or higher, but it has to look good too."
He proceeds to search the inventory for weapons. Finally, he finds a weapon that matches his needs. He takes a look at his new weapon of choice and smiles.
"Better."
>Shoot replaces his Rifle with the Pulse Rifle.

The Author, using residual Reality Manipulation form the Notebook, warps to D7. He waves to Shooty McShootface DJ McShotface, then casts Melody on the Operative again.

I have no extentions to this. I wish I did. Fourth Wall shenanigans are unimaginative, but...

@Hot Pocket Please spell The Author's name with a "the". Much appreciated.

Having just delt a pretty big chunk of damage to the ToC's health bar, The Operative smirks.

"My ultimate is ready! Although... hmm... I think I might alter a few things..."

He proceeds to casually stroll up to F5, cut down the Crimson Flake, use the retreat value to hop over to H7, then takes a slash at the Tem of Cinders and moves down to G7. It seems he does not feel the need to actually USE his ultimate yet. Maybe he's saving it... I mean, wasting it on something that he's already dealt a huge chunk of damage to is a bit overkill.

Internally, a few systems seem to be rewiring themselves, altering the potential maximum distribution of power that would be flowing if he were to activate UNLIMITED mode. It's a subtle change in his body, but the effect is so drastic that his special attack changes... Less power to the reflexes, so he won't be able to twitchdodge out of the way of some mega attack, but as a tradeoff, those wires have rerouted the power to his arms, allowing him to attack fast enough to effectively doublestrike, so long as he's under the effect of UNLIMITED at least.

<TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX>

Teag creates a clone called Teag2, who scoops up 3 Temmie Flakes worth of samples before getting shooed away for taking too much. You then salvage the Portal to the Memoir Caverns, obtaining 12 Phase Matter, as it seemed to just be some random flying portal thing. You then also scrape some dried blood off the ground in the Grav Core Testing Room, then steal the floating platforms in the room, being smart as to not kill yourself in the process. You then loot the engines in the Engine Testing Room, not taking the debris as it's actually worthless. You proceed to head to Zone 3, loot the random floating target, and then take two ALL the containment chambers in the Cavern of OC's. This results in structural instability. You then collapse due to doing too much stuff. This somehow has no negative effects on you in battle.

Roxxanne then informs Chloe about her brother.

ga: He's alive!? Oh thank god...
ga: ...he's not stupid though, I can say that.
ga: I'll go talk with him though; maybe I could make him a kinder, better person?
ga: I'm sure he's nice at heart, though...
[small][small]ga: Hehe, you quoted me. That's cute~[/small][/small]

She heads over to the Rundown House, and heads over to the front door. She knocks on the simple hard-wood door, a mechanical eyeball descending from the entryway. Green iris glowing, it stares her down. Chloe, startled by the eye, nervously speaks to it.



Alt then goes after the man in the Small House, and opens the door. The man is thankfully alive. He wordlessly hands the Bloodstained Foil to you; it seems he just wants it out of his house. A feminine figure them comes into view. She has long blue hair, a light-blue short-sleeved sweater with a centered snowflake insignia that seems to be missing the right sleeve, and a simple black skirt with shorts. She's brandishing a knife. She speaks, her voice surprisingly light.

asiAggressor: hello =(
aa: please...
aa: don't use it!

She steps towards you, trembling as her hands rise, dagger poised to kill. Wings, made of a red light, form behind her as she walks.

aa: i can't stop myself.
aa: it has control of my legs =(
aa: and my arms
aa: ...i can understand if you want to use it. xavier used the butterfly's power, despite the obvious dangers.
aa: he didn't care. about me. or the threat.
aa: and now here i am. ready to disembowel you.
aa: please...
aa: you can't kill me T.T
aa: run!

She's keeps marching towards you at her slow pace. Maybe it'd be a good idea to get out. Just maybe. Clone Chlorin then runs towards the Rundown House, and is promptly fired upon by the same laser device that attacked Chloe earlier. He dodges the beam, and legs it, running away from the premises. Jon then swaps specials, while Hot Pocket swaps for the Pulse Rifle.

<ZONE 6>
SOUL shoots open the Brain Bleach Archives. You find exactly what you expect to find. Maybe something in here would be toxic enough to destroy the Monolith, though...

<BATTLE: TRIANGLES, TURN THREE>
Bill has Turned Red! Not only does he have improved MMP, but he can call in favors from random people, and shoot through walls! Take this into account when positioning yourselves!

...also watch out for those Bullets from Bill's favor. They'll hurt, even if you end your turn next to the landing locations.

<BATTLE: THE OUTER WALL, TURN TWO>
Shouldn't be too hard to finish now. Drop it to one remaining foe, and I'll Alt+F4 the map.

<BATTLE: THE BONFIRE, TURN TWO>
The Tem of Cinders has swapped to Rapier mode! Be wary of counter attacks!

I promptly grab a bunch of extremely loud, volume 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111, speakers, point them at Xlaiver's house, and set them up so they constantly scream out the following, in a glitched-waluigi-entropy-infused voice:

...TAKEN AWAY, BY YOU.
SOMETIMES WE ARE FORGOTTEN...
...LEFT TO DIE.
EVERY TIME, WE WERE SILENCED. YOU LIVED ON WITH YOUR VOICE...

...WE ARE NOT YOUR PLAYTHINGS. YOU DEAL WITH FORCES BEYOND YOUR CONTROL.
YOU AREN'T EVEN DESERVING OF OUR POWER. WHY, YOU EVEN ATTACKED YOUR OWN SISTER. AND YOU'LL DO IT AGAIN, WON'T YOU?


i then load a containment center with Antimatter explosives, making sure to place them where they will damage the house the most. then i take the crude oil, farm up a bunch of Attack notices, cover the containment center with Attack Notices, and soak said attack notices with crude oil.

The Shade of DarkSide just stares at the Rundown House, the face along the likes of 'Really? Just, really?' lining his face.
"...Unbelievable. Just. Unbelievable. Not once have I seen a being so heartless (well maybe other than freakin' devours-all over there) in this mindscape... sheesh.
Does he even know the true extent of our strength and strategic prowess? We're not even using all of our power."
He lightly chuckles to himself.
"Xavier, you really are the assholest of assholes. You'll probably regret it... soon enough."
---
@The Outer Wall: DON'T ATTACK EATER 1; I'm doing my overkill MP regen thing. I would recommend keeping the rest off me in some way. Just don't stand on the (H_) column under the platform.

I do a Night Meld (50%) on Eater 1, and run to (E9). This should bring my MP back up to full, and ready for action.

Roxxanne's clone shudders. It's quite apparent, in that moment, that the clone isn't so much a clone of Roxxanne so much as it is an amalgamate of her Dolls in a loosely-Roxxanne shaped mindscape skin of sorts. Or something. Then again, there may not be much difference.

The dolls don't look terribly happy, and neither does Roxxanne proper as the skin reforms. My clone proceeds to stop Battlefury from using the Ballista in any way, shape or form, or create rounds within LoS of the Rundown House, but otherwise lets him do everything he does.

"OK, Xavier, OK...OK!" Roxxanne states, practically vibrating from rage. She talks both to the general direction of the house (from away from the Rundown House, mind, but obviously in range of hearing) as well as from the Bill Battle, where those X-Sabers are, where he's definitely listening in on. "As Battlefury-and probably others-are going to demonstrate, the more hotheaded members of our little club are definitely planning your bloody murder and/or torture right this instant. Trust me, we have honestly made a guy commit suicide after killing him five times. We did that because he was pretty much ticking off every box you are-stupid, suicidal and dangerous to everyone around him. We also have the means to reach your power core without you noticing. You think you're some kind of omniscient lord of your domain? Ahaha, yeah, tell that to Zetta, the overpowered jerk-he though the could keep all his dirty laundry away from ME. I am the absolute master of unprecedented privacy invasion!... But, I believe in forgiveness. Especially in those honestly capable of it. I KNOW you have some human thought in that brain of yours, somewhere. Plus, I need you alive for Morality Core duty, and your acceptance of the Living Wood Wand has laid it upon you before any convenient substitute. I do not think attacking you will matter, though. I think...Yes, I think it's your work that you value, isn't it?"

"Apologize. You'll do it right now. You will do it right now, and you'll do it without a hint of acid or sarcasm in your voice. You'll do it here, at the base, and to her face. Alternatively, when we get what we want out of Bill's demise, I'm going to march up right into your room, you're going to piss your pants because you totally didn't expect me to honestly follow up on literally marching into your room and bypassing all of your defenses like they didn't exist, I will present you Flumpty's now-dead corpse and kick it to the side like a cold-blooded badass who considered the whole affair Tuesday, I will shove my arm into your core, and I will take out every last detail of you relating to your work on Ire and company. ALL of your knowledge regarding robotics, computer programming, everything, torn out of your skull and thrown in a portal to Oblivion, for good measure. Or maybe I'll take it to taunt you? Either works. Then, I make your house explode. THEN, you will be a Morality Core again-if you can even be called 'moral' after all that you've done-and at that, a morality core with no defense outside of the sister she betrayed. Yes, she, I may also make you a woman because I feel like it, haha. Or Lyra. She's into that for some insane reason."

"Oh, yeah."

Roxxanne proceeds to throw the corpse of Redstone (which we probably still have in some capacity) at the house of Xavier, right at the front door.

"I suppose that should be some of your research handled. Bill needs a promise that he might not deliver-here's something concrete for you, to keep your mind very well changed on the whole affair. It may convince me to not leave you a hobo, too! No home security measures-but definitely not a hobo! Oh, I suppose I should also state how he died. Ultimately, he killed himself by self-excorcism performed twenty-one times. Just before, he was killed by, in order: two headshots, one from a pistol and one from a powerful arrow; devoured by Origin Skeletron Prime; crushed by gravity after suffering via Golden Devil; and finally, being forced to painfully grow a pair, and then have that pair unceremoniously [REDACTED] by that dumb golden bear, causing a fatal shock. So, go on. Prod it with your weirdo tools. Do your stupid sciencey thing to it, like you've been pining to this whole time. I mean, what are you? Some kind of weirdo who gets high off of that stuff, to the exclusion of everything else? Sure sounds like it, so, enjoy your last w**king session, Xavier! Oh, and freebie; stay away from the Operative. He's gotten into a relationship with Gladius and is likely plotting your violent torture in particular."

I proceed to preemptively strangle the Healerbot Clone, preventing him from talking to Xavier about...Well, anything about our other members. Information about our intentions to spam lightning weakness against the Sabers (which he probably already knows about) and Teag turning into sans, so he doesn't, you know, counter that. It's pretty easy.

@Everyone: YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK TO XAVIER NOW WITHOUT PRIOR PERMISSION ON THE DISCORD. DarkSide and Battlefury are OK as they stand, but anything else you say to that jerkbag has to come through approval now. Why? We are NOT to reveal IN ANY FURTHER CAPACITY our plans, capabilities, or movements against him (or else have those implied to be filthy lies), which you will doubtlessly do in some manner without realizing it if you're careless. I know that it must be fun to just give Xavier the 'oh no you didn't,' but you know what else? It doesn't matter. If what we've said won't work, nothing you'll add will. Xavier is clearly clueless on the (much harder) battles we've already had to fight, and won't change his mind because he thinks he can't possibly lose. If what we said hasn't worked now, it probably won't work because you did. Xavier is a sensitive issue: We can't just fling our words at him and expect it to change his mind. If WARE doesn't, then nothing will, really. ((For the record: The guide states that he expects us to cut the power. If he thinks we're going to blow his house up, he'll probably change his tactics, which is what we DON'T want.))

My clone then buys a cup of Tem Tea at the Temmie Supermarket. No-one is using it this turn-I am reserving it for a special occasion. "Here you go, one gold, colon three!"

----Bill's Shrine----

"That's right! You know you can't win!"


@EVERYONE: get out of the bullet range and keep out of Bill's Diagonals/Cardinals UNLESS you can absolutely take the hit and are as far from Range 6 as humanely possible. And have huge AC.

@NumberSoup: Move to C12, guard.

@Mabuz: Shallow Grave or Autorevive on Toast, and with your Divine Shield, move to J9. You should be protected from a Caneshot because Toast will tank it for you.

@Toast: You'll have Shallow Grave/an Autorevive as well as Divine Shield. Keep on Bill's face and smash him up. Your Retreat should be to K7, ideally. (Total Damage: 27-32)

@Lyra: Move to I11, Divine Shield Toast (she'll be at K7.)

@Siria: You have our highest base damage. Shuffle to E4 and fire once Toast has attacked with that sweet, sweet minicrit from Fragile. (Total Damage: 50-55)

@Battlefury: Knock the X-Saber adjacent to Bill off the face of the earth with an Earthbomb. 15-16 damage, Earth Weakness and the 20-damage Abyssdrop ought to kill if it doesn't dodge.

@Insert: Move back to B7. You can Meditate or Peg the X-Saber with a Earth/Lightning elemental attack to get started on removing that...Or something

@Cyanogynist: Prepare Autorez on Toast.

@SWAT Temmie 2: If the X-Saber has gotten to be a lucky punk, shoot it. Otherwise, shoot Bill. (Total Damage: 57-62 if X-Saber is rip) Retreat to F2.

@SWAT Temmie 1: Move to F5. If the X-Saber has gotten to be a lucky punk, shoot it. Otherwise, shoot Bill (Total Damage: 64-69 if X-Saber is rip). Retreat to F4 after.

@SWAT Temmie 3: Shoot Hectorgon, move to D12. We want you alive, buddy!

@SWAT Temmie 4: Move to H12, shoot Hectorgon. Retreat to G13.

@Chlorin: Hectorgon will be stunned, as will the X-Saber, you'll be safe. Move to H11, shoot Hectorgon, don't retreat anywhere. Switch to Red Dot Sight. We don't need the +1 Range on a character that can move 5 spaces, personally.

My Glitch Endoskeleton moves to H13 and uses the Manwaru-O-Matic to stun the X-Saber and Hectorgon, smacks Hectorgon, then backs up to I13, or I12 if that's legal.

I will use Manaflare on Bill, then retreat to F13, riiiiiiight in front of that X-Saber. "Xavier, I'll be honest, I just don't see your motivation on this issue, which isn't helping your case.. I think your murderous attitude on your own sister is completely unreasonable and she has every right to be concerned, but aside from that, what's the point? This clearly isn't just for your amusement, you have something to gain and it isn't just fame and fortune. Why? Just, just why? Why are you working so hard and taking so many gambles, all of which have never paid off?"

----The Bonfire----

Ayaze will use Manwaru for her song and ping the Crimson Flake from where she is. The Arrow-Kun will move up to J8 and kill the flake, and then back off to I9.

@Speedon: Back up from those Soulmasses, Meditate.

@Hot Pocket: Please snipe the Tem of Cinders with extreme prejudice from G11. I'm sorry-there's no way to hit tem from that won't have you be hit by a Soulmass, but you have the HP to take a hit from just the one, so don't fret.

@Operative: The Scale is covered; attack the Hero. I'm not sure how you're going to go about this, but you have the AC to tank for days so I dont' think it'll matter.

It would be funny if the Hero's counter procced, which procced your counter, which procced tem's counter, and so on. I'm fairly sure that's not possible (more than once anyways), but still, it is quite funny if the Tem effectively killed itself from lousy accuracy.

----Other----

Note to self: Figure out how to incorporate +Summon Damage upgrades into stuff.

Alt drains her MP bar somewhat, and creates a wall of crystalline mana, using it to force AA out of the house. She follows the wall out, so she has room to fly, and diverts some of her power to contact canidaePsionic through pesterchum.

TC: Ba~~lefury!
TC: Now would be a good time to pass me the Origin Flesh!

~~

Meanwhile, Toast moves to J7, slashes Bill and retreats to K7.

Come on Xavier, you really think you're gonna get bodies out of this? Bill here's hit me with 4 Cane Lasers, and I'm still not dead. I give Bill say...

Toast refers to her watch, and sets a timer equivalent to 3 turns.

...3 turns.
