I randomly use the Something Useful.

third x3 combob

Toast puts all her points into HP, equips Ember and swaps the Jadesaw with Nightmarron.

Next, Toast grabs Soup's shield, and finally gets around to upgrading it. She starts with 25 Titanium Bars and melts them down, placing the molten metal into a large, rectangular mold about the size of a fairly sizey desk. As she does the next step, she makes a cool and temporary and new law of physics, and forces it to be true. The law is: "soup's shield will not burn to a crisp when placed inside molten titanium". And so it was. She places the shield into the mixture, confident that it will not burn to a crisp. She holds it there, until the metal cools into a shield shape.

She brings it out of the mold and wow- It's a really massive shield. She uses a convieniently placed laser to cut a series of large REKTrectangular indents into the front of the shield. Inside these indents, she carves down and places pieces of Cinder Logs.

Finally, Toast reinforces the handle with a bit more iron, to support the weight of the new shield. The sheer size of the shield made protecting allies trivial.

She then checks out the Vent in Zone 2.

Alt takes off her official equipment, leaving some bleached grey leathers, which kind of contrasts her hair. She bleaches some attack notices to white, and uses her fetch modus to string them into wraps. After doing that a few times, she wraps herself in these, giving her a fairly convincing mummy costume. :3

Alt goes around to the Man, Tem (Proud Parent) (cAN i'z hav tEm EGg?? tEm EGg 4or... toste EG!), Glitch Temmie, Ette and the Book Club Secretary, trick-or-treating all the way.
Trick or Treat! :3

After that trick-or-treating, she re-equips her equipment (somehow under her gear) and approaches the Inferno Arachnid and calls out to the Cocoon.

Cyan is pre-emptively stopped from interacting with the Explosive Chamber.

HealerX starts talking to Roxxanne.

"When did +ha+ happen again? +he replays for +he +errarian Godmodding War +ake forever +o upda+e. Like approxima+ely one second of +he war per year."
----
HealerX walks out of the battle, ready to craft.

First, he shoves the Iron Ore, Iron Buckets, and Iron Ladder into a Smeltery, fires the Glitch Slime Gun at it, then stabs the Saltfury into it, melting the Iron items, into Molten Iron. He deploys a Casting Table with an Ingot Mold, and pours the Iron into it. After a painfully long amount of time, the Iron items are now Ingots. This somehow only consumes the Iron Ore, Buckets, and the Ladder.

INPUT: 24 Iron Ore, 2 Iron Buckets, 1 Iron Ladder
OUTPUT: ??? Iron Ingots
----
HealerX throws 20 Iron, 20 Titanium, 1 Floating Platform, and 15 Wire Bits from the inventory. He tosses 10 of the the Iron and Titanium into a Smeltery, lets them cook for a while, until the outcome is molten Edgium. He pours it into an ornate chestplate mold, then attaches the Floating Platform to the back. He crafts some of the Wire Bits into a Circuit Board that activates the whole thing, then wires up the rest of the armor to the circuit board with the rest of the Wire Bits. The rest of the Iron and Titanium is used to make more Edgium pants and boots, which are wired into the circuit board with more Wire Bits.

He then grabs 10 Silkweed, uses the Temmie Sewing Kit to sew it into silk, then makes it into a cool design on the armor. He also grabs 1 Yarn Ball, unravels it into Yarn, and does the same, placing it over the silk design.

HealerX pulls out 5 more Titanium, the Edgy Hoodie, 1 Mage Robe Parachute, 1 Diamond, and 1 Gravcore Ore. He majjykally lasers a cool design into the armor, then deploys yet another Infusion Altar. He tosses the Gravcore Ore to cook into the smeltery, and while that's happening, he places the chestplate in the center, the Edgy Hoodie, the Mage Robe Parachute, the Titanium, and the Diamond into the cardinal direction slots. 20 Wooden Planks fill up the rest of the slots.

"Le+'s do +his."

The Runic Matrix powers up.

"Mo+us. Po+en+ia."

The Runic Matrix flashes gray, then cyan. The chestplate surges with electricity, and the generator from the Floating Platform activates.

"Machina. I+er."

The Runic Matrix fires light purple and light red beams at the chestplate. It floats slightly above the platform.

"Jus+ a li++le precau+ion. Praecan+io."

The Runic Matrix flashes purple. The chestplate glows the same color, infused with magic energies. And infinite Mage Robes. Which disperse into essence and fly into the armor.

Infusion's done. The Infusion Altar sinks into the ground, and the Molten Gravcore is now ready. HealerX pours it into the armor, filling into the ornate design and possibly giving it flight powers.

The black/purple armor is made from Edgium, Gravcore, magical energies, and possibly traces of Ichorcloth, with a diamond placed in the center of the chestplate. The chestplate has a jetpack attached to it, and it even comes with a parachute.

INPUT: 20 Iron, 25 Titanium, 1 Edgy Hoodie, 1 Mage Robe Parachute, 20 Wooden Planks, 1 Floating Platform, 1 Diamond, 15 Wire Bits, 1 Gravcore Ore, 10 Silkweed, 1 Yarn Ball, a bunch of Mage Robes
OUTPUT: Tainted "Magitech" Powersuit: A mage's flight-capable powersuit that was left in the Tainted Lands for a bit too long.
(1 INT, 1 AGI (possible), ? MMP, and flight (the least probable bonus, I think))

HealerX equips the Jaggi Fang and the Tainted "Magitech" Powersuit. He places the 3 skillpoints from the battle into INT, giving him 8 INT.

Fire weakness? Check, by means of Jaggi Fang.
Chemical/DoT "resistance"? Check, by means of Caduceus Metalstorm.
Randomized special? Not check.
Ability to fight? Check.

Congratulations! HealerX is now practically Claptrap from Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. :kek:

Teag's first combob is shattered in to several trillion pieces. Teag then goes and melts down Bill's Statue, before tearing the anti-temshop flyer in to pieces.
TRICK OR TREAT:
Teag quickly designs a "Bill-Cipher-with-a-spear-in-the-eye" cosplay, then goes and trick-or-treats;
The Tem Superstore, the Secretary Book Club, Ette, the Temmie Freighter, the Tem Shop Colleg Branch, and the Inferno Arachnid.

Teag also takes out his point in SPC, takes out his 2 points in MP, and uses the 12 Skill Points to max out INT.
YAY MAX INT HAS BEEN DONED.
For his 4th skill, Teag takes GASTER BLASTER. He also replaces Healmore with TEMSHIP RAID, and Ice Pillar with ()TURN. OP MAGE ENGAGE
In the future, I will probably focus on SPC and MP.
If the Temtry Wrench is bought, Teag equips it. Teag also breaks some Wooden Planks down in to Splinters, and uses them to patch up the holes in the Splinter Helicopter. He also breaks down a piece of Hollowed Bark in to Hollowed Splinters, incurring the wrath of <0> and replacing the ammunition for the splinter gun with the Hollowed Splinters.
Teag also takes some time to try to fix the Spire Launcher and Railgun. Don't really know how to make this creative in any way.

YEA BUDDY, WE KILLED DAT TRRIANGULAR IMBECILE!
So... what next? Xavier, or OSP?
Also, in the Bloodstained Sanctuary, Machinegun, Snake, or Spur?
Eh, we'll figure that out eventually.
ANYWAY!
I put a point into AGI, obtaining the legendary 6666 combo. I put my last 2 skillpoints into MP.
I also head to the Outer Wall again, and head to the Small Alcove. I prod the chest with my chair before opening it, to see if it's a mimic (But then again, why would it be? It's based on Cave Story, dammit!).
I then head to the Workship Entryway, and climb to the Rocket Boosters (Well it's more like using a brief transformation to get dragon wings, but still). I then salvage them for every scrap they're worth.
I also re-augment myself. Thus, I head back to the M.W. Anti, and kind of just sit down. Not tired or anything. Just waiting for the next battle.
...
Hm... I think I might actually do some crafting. This time, involving the Spire Launcher.
INPUT: 1xSpire Launcher, 75xWooden Planks, 15-20xTitanium Ingots, 5xVines, 1xFloating Platform, 10xWire Bits, 2xCinder Logs
"Hm... let's see..."

I carefully inspect the launcher for damages. Because the mechanical parts (the Bow (I think it's a bow? Correct me if I'm wrong(bracket)), launching mechanisms, etc) were broken, I decide to outright replicate necessary parts, and improve on others where I can.

But first, I pull Teag into this by having him help, when he decides to fix up the thing. I mean, he has put no creative effort into his own attempt, so.

The bow itself has been damaged beyond repair. So I create a replacement part out of a few wooden planks that were flexible enough to become the firing piece. I then melt some Titanium Ingots, and cast it around the bendy wood bow in order to reinforce it enough as to have it not snap in half like last time.

I have Teag attach some strong, stretchy vines to the bow to act as the bowstring, and encase the area from which the items will be flung from in Titanium. Namely, a flat area up front, and sturdy enough to withstand a freaking durasteel cabin being flung from it.

On either side of the aforementioned area, I create two mechanisms out of Titanium to help pull the string back, into a firing position. I also create a release mechanism within the main body in order to actually fire the damned thing. In the main body, I get Teag to install a generator into the main body for reasons I will get to in a second. It's located in the very back of it.

"Yes, yes, it's looking as good as new. But I think I could do one better."

Literally out of nowhere, I begin forging an incredibly sharp, multi-segment blade out of Titanium. It's freaking massive, too! It's like a cleaver blade from the looks of it. A cleaver the size of a house, that is!
I install it into the Spire Launcher at the very front, blade pointing towards the back. Some mechanisms are placed between the blade segments to keep it together when above a certain threshold, and stored when below.
I then add a Y-fork into the launcher, while keeping the initial launching chamber intact. I encase the three of them on the top with a whole bunch of Titanium. All three chambers curve to the forwards position.
But I'm still not done!
I use the Wire Bits to attach the Generator to the Titanium on the blade, allowing electricity to be conducted by it, and placing two-thirds of a hollowed-out cinder log on each of the chamber ends, where the titanium it, as to not burn the mostly wooden and organic construct. I get the blade to retract in a strange way; it curves under the base of the launcher and loops around the bottom for easy storage (and to not make a giant launcher obvious without it needing to be). The mechanisms lock once they breach to just below the first chamber. The last blade piece stops at the chamber to prevent it from getting stuck down with the others. Electromagnets help prevent the blade from catastrophically failing, along with the mechanisms to help keep it rigid.

It looks absolutely hideous when the blade is extended, but it gives a new strength to this thing over the old one.

OUTPUT: Giant Firespark Shotbow
TRAITS: Shoots items from its chamber. Items launched deal impressive damage, with extra damage being Electric, Fire, both, or neither. The damage can be split equally between two shots, allowing one part to target something, and another to target something else. Players cannot be launched from this. Otherwise follows normal loading rules.

Balancing may be required. Not like we're going to use it by itself, but it could be useful in that Ballistia upgrade (Codename: HOMEWRECKER) we were gonna to.
Someone else can fix and/or improve the railgun (with some creativity) and merge these three things into each other (Namely, the Ballista, Railgun, and GFS). I know jack about guns, so it's best if I go nowhere near them.

Roxxanne will allocate the skillpoints she has obtained in the Bill fight to INT, getting a natural 12, and becoming the first player in Chaos to have 12 in 2 non-HP/MP stats without any boosting from items whatsoever.

"Oh, sans! I wasn't trying to fight you! I was just so interested because you were hiding from us! But now, I am an OK. Have a nice day, person, colon three!"

Roxxanne proceeds to do more skillswitching. All the skillswitching. Oh, good grief, the skillswitching. I think this will be the last time for a good while now, as I'm pretty set on summons. FYI, I'm giong to continue using skills I don't have in crafting as I'll presume myself to quick-switch to them as needed.

Roxxanne learns Gasterblaster, Icebolt, Telekinesis (now she really is sans...But seriously, someone needed to learn that and summons are a bit of a defensive skillset), and Icewall, replacing all of her skills. Her 'standby' skill when Scalebrine gives her +1 Skill will be Beam, for additional blasting with her gasterblasters.

She then proceeds to be a teenage girl with a credit card, and buys ALL THE THINGS.

Her shopping list totals to the following: Purple Flake (20 gold), 2 Mythril (12 Gold), Temmie Armor Patch (Superstore Credit), Thought Rune (4 Gold), 2 Jack-o-Melons and 1 Life Bottle (3 Gold total), Clone a Toxic Scanner for Shooty McShoot ('Cipher' Coupon), Temtry Wrench for Teag (3 gold), and The Other Side for Sp33d0n (3 gold). That's it! We have nothing left over! fill out that 'we drop to 0 gold' space in the Chaos bingo, if you have it.

Our current battleplan for next round is (due to newer players) Xavier/Flumpty/OSP, subject to change. Xavier/Flumpty for sure, OSP is a maybe. Either way, we're also taking Gladius and Marron out as they can get skillpoints-preferably in separate battles.

Roxxanne opts to approach Lyra and hug her. "Hug ambush! Colon three! No more mopeying, I am here now, to accudle you with my adoriboo, heart! Everything's gonna be an OK, you hear? Everything is gonna be, an OK! Oh, and I'mma show you my Happy afterwards! Happy loves everyone, and she really loves hugs! You'd love to meet my Happy, she is the best evarh! You cannot be a frowney when my Happy wants to hug you! Let's get out of here and go hug Happy, colon three!"

This 'Happy' figure is probably not going to do it on her own, but whoever it is, Roxxanne must really enjoy their company.

----THE INKBLOT----

Roxxanne proceeds to look at the Notebook. It has considerable power...But...Not too considerable useage. The Chroma Hammer has decent attack (amongst other things), but this thing's flexibility in the application of buffs and debuffs has lead it to being inable to be used for much else of note, which isn't terrific. She then looks to The Other Side, which she just purchased. It's reminiscient of Healerbot's mythical Caduceus Metalstorm; a weapon that heals allies if aimed at them.

Roxxanne proceeds to get a brilliant idea.

Roxxanne takes the Notebook and applies a localized Mindcrush to the Corn Dog lesser memory to turn it into a Hollow Memory Orb, because she doesn't want the chance of any shenanigans involving that. once done, Roxxanne...Well, Roxxanne kind of wrings out the Notebook. No finesse or anything, she takes the Notebook and squeezes it until it starts dripping its odd ink, right into the Memory Orb. The Memory Orb turns back to gray, signifying a new memory has been put in.

Roxxanne then takes the cartrige of The Other Side, where the ammunition is generated/loaded in. Through a bit of carpentry, Roxxanne places in the Memory Orb in full, and adds in a few slots so the crossbolts fired from the weapon take upon the flexible buffing properties of the Notebook's Ink. Realizing the improbability of incorporating everything, Roxxanne scraps the Notebook's debuffing potential; Lyra's Chroma Hammer is good for that.

With everything set in, Roxxanne reconstructs The Other Side's frame to make sure everything fits, and gives it a test run by firing out a few bolts. Once assured the firing mechanisms have not been tampered with, Roxxanne double-checks its new feature by willing a variety of buffs to be injected into her target of choice. She passes through them all, making an obvious list of which buffs can and cannot be applied with the weapon, before finally handing it back to Sp33d0n for his use.

"Here you are! This ought to make sure that you can do something when you're out of mana, colon three." Roxxanne says.

Expended: The Other Side, The Notebook, 1 Lesser Memory Orb

The Inkblot. Healing Ink? It's just like Splatoon, if Splatoon had shotgun crossbows!
5-7 Damage, 1 Range, 0 Retreat. (RANGED)
WEAPON SKILL: Inkbolt. Deal (6-9) Healing/Damage. Range 4. This weapon can be used to heal allies for the damage you would normally deal, and applies a buff of choice when you do so. Basic attacks hit in a cone in front of the user.
-Insert a 'banlist' for overly-strong buffs here-

----THYME TEA----

With this done, Roxxanne prepares for another grueling challenge in super-crafting: creating a way to safely digest and thus exploit the legendary powers of Thyme. She hadn't really grasped the full concept but she understood the basics: The Purple Flake-a tiny bit of Thyme-was stupidly powerful, but in order to use it without losing your mind, you'd also need to take extra-special precautions. Those precautions apparently take the form of being super-flavorful. If it was ingested raw, it would never lead anywhere good. See: The Prince, WARE, Flumpty Waalumpty, Twin, Clippy, and technically, Oblivion. So, every use Ire ever used the Thyme for period. However, if consumed with a reasonable palette of food, one would become capable of subsuming the power. See: The Prince (again). A full dose of Thyme, without interference, would almost certainly be permanent, barring cases of extreme rejection (those cases usually being based in paradoxes), but this flake would only be temporary-which also meant less power overall.

Roxxanne doubted she'd have Thyme ever again after this, but it was helpful to know, in her soon-to-be-mythical quest to create the miraculous THYME TEA.

Roxxanne proceeds to take out, eh, let's say 100 wooden plans for her use. "The first step to the best tea ever! Have a teahouse." Roxxanne states, as she calmly creates one wooden door, one wooden chair, one wooden table, and places the rest in a small, cubical formation, all of this on the Ascent. Why the Ascent? It's reasonably safe and reasonably isolated. Roxxanne is liable to take the entire zone down with her the instant the tea is consumed. Roxxanne doesn't really want to get into the tedious process of making cute windows, and she can't really do that as she only has one window and a bunch of shattered glass better used else-ware. Roxxanne proceeds to position the chair and table juuuust right once inside for maximum enjoyment. IT had to be mentally calming, as well as physically calming!

Once within, Roxxanne proceeds to pull out a bunch of biological ingredients, each a singular sample. A cinder fruit, toxic fungai sample, medical herb, a bottle of red solution (it's fire-damage, so it's gotta be spicy, right?), a Purple Negg from the bag of infinite Neggs, the Dried-up bits of Herobrine's Blood (she's a Vampire), the intended Temmie Tea box (this one specifically labeled as a Spicy Temmie Tea rather than a Classic Temmie Tea, but for the purposes of inventory they're functionally the same), and in a double-sealed container made through mystical and secretive Temmie Techniques, the one and only Purple Flake. You spend 20 gold on a bit of spice, you'd better be sure to make it secure. Roxxanne also puts down the Omnidisclipinary Crafting Station, set mostly to its food-based functions.

Roxxanne pulls out the tea bag from the Temmie Tea. It's naturally filled with cardboard, primarily, followed by multiple other spices meant to make sure it definitely isn't just cardboard-quite like how Temmie Flakes are only mostly cardboard. Roxxanne proceeds to set it in the center, intending to put in multiple ingredients into it as time goes on.

Roxxanne takes out a knife, and calmly proceeds to chop up the first of the ingredients-the Medical Herbs. This part is relatively easy, just a bit of basic dicing into nice pretty cubes. Roxxanne then puts them into a grinder, meant to shred the remaining herbs into the nice bunch of tiny flakes that you'd recognize as a spice of some kind, rather dried up. The juices, in this semi-automatic drying process, are stored for later use in a small cup-the flakes of herb, meanwhile, go into the teabag.

The Negg is next. Roxxanne, rather than just going willy-nilly with dicing it up like the Medical Herb, opts to read up on neggs. As it turns out, most neggs get their flavor from internal juices, leaving it imperative that, to preserve flavor, one must preserve those juices. Roxxanne complies with this advice, opting to set the Purple Negg into a juicer. Intense Juicing occurs, with a succulent purple liquid and some pulp dripping down into a cup. A full serving of Negg juice is produced in this manner-far too much for Roxxanne's purposes. "Juicey!"

She turns to the Red Solution. She realizes that it's not in any way edible on its own, but she had read up that, properly mixed, it could make a great spicy drink. It would need external juices to do this, though-and, as luck would have it, the Purple Negg Juice was right there. Before mixing, however, Roxxanne had to remove some of its Magical potency. The guide she read suggested to bring it to a boil over a mana-infused fire. AKA, a Manaflare. Roxxanne pulled out a pot from the ODCS, poured in the Red Solution, and let the stove cook with a Manaflare burning softly under it, which would remove its more dangerous, spreading magics.

Roxxanne doesn't stand idle while the thing cooks, however. With this done, she turns to the Toxic Fungus. Roxxanne didn't really know what fungus that was specifically, but knowing Chaos, it was probably related to either Tables or Chairs-and knowing those two, this probably meant the world of Tabletopia, including its Land of Chairs and Anarchy (It was actually a Monarchy until recently, though). With that narrowed down, Roxxanne managed to pin it down as the dangerous "Toestoll." Ironically, it was a culinary trend across the Multiverse-if laid upon a thin metal mesh and brought to boil within the outer bottle of a Bottled Bottle of Water (specifically this), most of its toxins would drip down to the bottom, leaving the spice-packed mushroom within. Roxxanne, cautious to never touch the Toxic Fungai sample with anything other than some tough gloves, cautiously places it onto the ideal mesh, and then slides it into the outer bottle of bottled bottled water, as instructed.

Ding! The Red Solution had finished boiling. Roxxanne killed the heat and doused the manaflare, and allowed the new Magenta Negg Juice Solution to cool, for now. She switched up the settings, poured some water into a pot, and set the bottled bottle water with the toxic fungai sample inside. That will boil for a few minutes, utnil the proper point.

Roxxanne switches attention to the Cinder Fruit. Extraordinarily unstable...But fortunately, not infinitely so. The fruit's explosive properties-from notes left behind by the others (who kept notes on this so everyone could craft with the new materials they found safely) pointed to the high internal heat as the reason why the fruit explodes. When ripe, the fruit actually cools off, and the fruit collected thus far is still ripening. For these cases, special precautions were usually taken to safely maintain their explosive properties without making it explode pre-emptively, but Roxxanne wasn't looking for that. Roxxanne simply cast a weakened Icebolt, caushing a chilling effect. The reddish 'cracks' of the otherwise near-black fruit cooled off near-instantly, and Roxxanne safely took a knife and dissected the fruit. The juices and such were mostly the explosive bits that, without the rest of the fruit, were useless, and Roxxanne was quick to destroy a heat-producing 'organ' in the center of the fruit. However, Roxxanne cautiously extracted all the seeds, the source of the spice. She cut the seeds in two and added them to the Teabag.

The oven's timer dinged again, and Roxxanne carefully removed the Bottled Bottled Water from the pot, to witness the rather disgusting pooling of black substance on the bottom of the bottle, while a reasonably clean-looking reddish fungus remained at the top. Roxxanne uncorked the bottle and carefully removed the rather limp red fungus, the proper Toestoll. She didn't wait around-she quickly diced it up and juiced it, adding a colorless juice to the Magenta Negg Juice Solution.

With this all ready, Roxxanne looked towards the blood of Herobrine. Roxxanne sniffed it. It was blood, alright, and it was surprisingly normal, as Herobrine's blood wasn't enchanted-it was his skin that was given his rather troublesome blessing/curse, as well as his bones, eyes, heart and hair. Funny, how things work out. In any case, there were still magical traces of Oblivion Energy, which would Dilute the thyme. Fortunately, this was simple. Traces of Oblivion Energy weren't even that hard to remove. Roxxanne simply applied an alterative Manaflare that only damaged the MP. The HP-killing version was much superior, as the only-MP one also destroyed 1 Mana at its lowest-but it didn't really need to destroy even that to purify Herobrine's blood of the potential contaminate. Once this was done, Roxxanne merely applied a bit of heat to the blood to un-dry it, and stored this in a separate vial.

Finally, the Thyme Flake. Roxxanne shuddered, but fortunately this was the easiest step by far. Lacking real size, Roxxanne casually put it into the Teabag. The Teabag, as a response, started to glow a dim purple.

The ingredients were ready, now was just the Tea. Roxxanne didn't honestly deviate much from standard teamaking practices in making the Temmie Tea proper-you don't need to know much, other than it's spicy green tea flavored of cardboard. Or, would be, if not for the additional ingredients Roxxanne has opted to add into the mix. As she stirred the tea up, she also made sure to add in the drops of the Magenta Negg Juice Solution to fully cultivate the flavor, as well as the drops of Herobrine's blood for her own unique tastes. The result, to her knowledge, would be an intensely spicy blend that would complement the Waluigi Thyme Flake. All in a magenta-colored mix, what with all the pink/red/purple ingredients mixed in.

With that said, there is one more purpose to this Tea. It's not just supposed to make her feel really happy and such. It's also supposed to make her become extraordinarily strong. As such, once the Tea was nice, hot and ready to consume, Roxxanne prepared a small little spell...

"Fabulosa narratio de viribus et bellum, quod in vas Spicey ... Bibentes decoctum foliorum, et ego, et in nomen, in Yamata non Orochi, ad vos mandatum istud, ut rivus a suo bibere cum fortitudine, potest will quod roboris sit consumere potestatem sibi sumit et potum. Sic erit!"

The Thyme Tea glows with a soft light as orbs of orange and blue briefly hover over the tea, orbiting around each other. It lasts but a moment before vanishing, but the effect on the Tea is remarkable. It feels considerably less threatening to look at, just through that one act.

It's almost certainly drinkable, at least. The real question is, who shall drink it?

It's obviously Roxxanne. Let's be real here. The other purpose of the spell is that she'll instantly know who tries to drink it other than her, and she'll probably telekinesis the cup away before producing a Gasterblaster to blast your gasters right out of there.

EXPENDED: 100 Wooden Planks
INTO: Teahouse (which is just kind of a thing there in the Ascent)

EXPENDED: 1 Purple Flake, 1 Dried Herobrine Blood, 1 use of the Infinite Negg Pouch, 1 Cinder Fruit, 1 Medical Herb, 1 Toxic Fungai Sample, 1 Red Solution.

Thyme Tea: WARE-Grade.
The most dangerously spicy tea ever concocted. Will only taste perfect to a Vampire due to the application of blood. Ignoring that, the blend of spices perfectly complements each other, creating a delicious blend. It is also an extraordinarily empowering tea, granting a limited control over the forces of plot when ingested. Due to the low level of Waluigi Thyme, its effects are temporary, but still extraordinarily powerful, and is perhaps the most potent power-up in the entirety of DTG: Chaos.

All things are possible; all states, achievable; all knowledge, attainable; and you shall be all things and succeed at all things; all this and more, so long as you will it.

"Hooray! Now, all that's left is to finish up preparations..." Roxxanne says, storing the Thyme Tea on her own personal inventory for future consumption, when it cools down a bit.

Roxxanne takes it. She scrunches it until Violant Ink falls from the pages. Into the memory orb. The Author attempts to see into the Orb. To no avail.

"Thanks... Roxxanne, was it?"

The Author says after gaining the Inkblot. He is fairly certain she is the vampire, so he also pulls down the hood of the Cloak of Concealment and folds in over itself, like a collar, to protect his neck.

After watching Roxxanne making the Crossbow (which he is immediately aquainted with the usage of), and the Author fiddling with the Firing Mechanism a little-

"It's too tight, in my opinion. Could be a bit looser."

He considers how to upgrade his basic equipment. He could turn the Cloak of Concealment into a trench coat or something, that would give him more freedom of movement, and freedom of movement is definetly something he needs.

He could take some glass and some oil, or yes, Ink, and bend the Mana Circlet into frames for Sunglasses.

And the Finale Amulet? Ok, he has no idea. He should tear it apart to see how it works. Naturally, that is a terrible idea, and he realises this.

The Author, for lack of anything better to do at the current moment, watches Roxxanne preparing Tea. As she builds the Teahouse, he goes to ask:

"You are aware that we have a perfectly usable seat already, right? You didn't need to build a new one.", then restrains himself. He is not getting attacked by a vampire.

He makes a number of comments in his head, noting the recipe if he need to blow up buildings or poision someone later on.

He finds the blood bizzarre though. He can't exactly judge though. He's taken about an ounce of his own blood tending to wounds, mostly when he was younger and didn't know any better.

He doesn't even bother trying to figure out what Roxxanne actually said in the spell. Not even close.

But he does comment that...

"That is simultaneously the most bizzarre tea recipe and possibly most fire-breath-inducing tea I have ever seen. You're certain you can drink that, right?"

He speaks almost as if he actually gives a damn about Roxxanne's safety.

Shoot takes the Toxic Scanner (not without thanking Roxanne for using such precious coupons to purchase it) and equips it as his Trinket. He then plans on making a new Special.

The Fingertip to Nosetip Truely Tough Touch of gorillaing Brutal, Diabolical, Destructive Death:
Shoot moves within Range 1 of any opponent, and 'boops' them on the nose. His next attack on that same opponent will kill them. (Uber-Crit if Boss / Elite)
SP needed: ???

Shoot uses a bunch of Mage Robes to dress up as the Fresh Prince.

Mage Robes (Armor) x??? = Fresh Prince Costume (Armor) x1

Against all the reasons he should probably really really not go trick-or-treating at the house he is planning to go to, he goes there anyway. He takes an empty Loot Chest with him to the Rundown House, knocks on the door, and hops into the Loot Chest before closing the Chest's lid.

The Operative decides to sit down with Chloe, seeing as he's been invited to do so, and turns a little towards her. When she mentions her brother, he glances aside for a moment, then turns back to her.

"Well... It's probably happening. Don't be afraid to back out of the battle if you feel you can't handle it, or if plot armor gets broken. It isn't worth losing you in exchange for... well, anything, really. But especially a low-key battle such as this one that we're preparing for."

He smiles a little. And then her comment about him. He just sort of... locks up a little, like a radio-controlled car that just had the signal cut, staring wide-eyed at her for a moment... then promptly hugs her as tightly as he can do so without risking accidental injury. He turns his head up to look at her, and if it weren't for the fact that his eyes are fully mechanical, he'd probably be crying from them...

"...th-thanks... you have no idea how much it means to me nowadays, for someone to say that..."

While her next words would otherwise normally have sparked off a fairly seriously-taken discussion about the ethical dilemma of exploiting immortality to be an ass to someone, it seems a particular someone has his focus on other matters at the moment. And, come on, are ya really gonna shatter the little cuteness moment from the lightning death robot guy? Really? It's not like these moments happen too often...


Oh, by the way, he also invests 3 skillpoints into maxing out Agility.

Chlorin uses 8 Glass Shards for a smoother material for the tactical rail. Chlorin practices for like 7 minutes, and eventually becomes a master at switching sights.

The skill Sight Switch now is a free action.

<ONE-HUNDRED AND EIGHTY>
To start, Battlefury swaps for Providence's Topper, then opts to go Trick-or-Treating. You head to the Tiny House, first of all. The Tiny Man, even though he's still shaken by Experiment 15, gives you a bit of Halloween Candy: three pieces. Next stop; the Secretary Book Club. They toss some Hallowed Bark into your pail for some reason, as well as a Book. For some reason, despite listing the Temmie Superstore second, you head to it last. Glitch Temmie gives you a standard "h0i!", and dumps two pieces of candy, and a piece of gold into your pail. You then also preemptively shove three Explosive Chambers into the Ballista. You have no idea how they fit into the ballista, given that the ballista normally shoots giant arrows, but okay.

You also offer a table as a peace offering. DTG Chaos is a massive table; just look at it. Your table is inferior to mine.

Insert then grabs the Hollowed Crate, and opens it! Inside, he finds 6 Gold, a gun called "Flandre's Iris", and a trinket called the Mutliform Key. There's also 25 Hollowed Bark, 100 Hollowed Logs, and 15 Entropic Fragments. There's also a STR and SPC orb in the box, along with 2 MP orbs. Insert then walks over to Ette, and asks her to grow some melons. She shrugs, and waves her arm. (which Marron translates as "okay, but i'll need some seeds") You then also attempt to fuse some items, but like Dark Souls, the estus is hard to make. You do, however, make some magical cardboard (five of them), and infuse both Hearthstone cards into them.

Toast then randomly uses the Something Useful.... then decides not to. Why would you use a Piercing Ballista Bolt just randomly? You then invest all your points into HP, and equip both the Nightmarron and the Ember.

tc: Ugh, you're really using that?
tc: ...Be careful; third button from the right cut off my puppet arm once.
tc: Look; just don't hit any buttons, and you'll be fine!

Toast then defies physics, and uses 25 Titanium Bars, 5 Iron, and 10 Cinder Logs to upgrade Soup's Shield into the Bulwark Shield! It has a slight increase in damage, and +1 AC for it's defense aura and self-bonus! Toast then looks at the vent in Zone 2. It's a vent. Big enough for a Temmie to go through.

Alt then dresses up as a mummy, then goes Trick-or-Treating. She visits the Man, and gets 3 Candy. The Proud Parent Tem refuses to give up tem egg. In fact, merely suggesting that tem's child would be something to give away triggers tem, and you get no candy. Glitch Temmie gives you 2 Candy, but no gold. Aw. As you head over to Ette's House, Marron walks out to greet you. Her voice is awkward, to say the least.

tc: H-Hey.
tc: I made you- erm, your party this.
tc: It's not much, but I suppose we're allies now; gotta start somewhere...

She hands you a homemade cookie, eyes closed as she extends her arm. You have no idea how she made it, but it smells really good. You take the cookie. Ette then opts to give you 4 pieces of Candy. You then visit the Secretaries, and get the same things that Teag did. You then unmummify yourself, and go and visit the Inferno Arachnid. You then call out... something to the cocoon. It shakes. The Inferno Arachnid then gives you that vaguely resembles candy. Ew. Neverfade Toxin obtained.

HealerX then complains about his stake not having "vegetal."

cc: wha(t)
cc: how ©ould you dislike vege(t)al on s(t)eak
cc: you goddamn hea(t)hen

You then opt to refine 24 Iron Ore, as well as 2 Buckets and a ladder into ingot form. This results in 37 Iron Ingots. You then opt to do some hardcore crafting, using 20 Iron, 25 Titanium, the Edgy Hoodie, a Mage-Robe Parachute, 20 Wooden Planks, a Floating Platform, a Diamond, 15 Wirebits, a chunk of Gravcore Ore, 10 Silkweed, and 1 Yarn Ball to make the Tainted "Magitech" Powersuit. You get... ALL the things you asked for. You then equip it, and the Jaggi Fang. You also wear your 3 Skill Points as a point of INT. Teag then melts down Bill's stone statue into... 1000 Cobblestone. Amazing, I think!

You then go and visit the places that everyone's been before, getting a total of 10 Candy. You get an additional 2 when the Temmie at the Colleg Branch opts to serve you, but nothing from the Arachnid. It seems that most of the spiders already looted his stash. Marron doesn't give you a cookie. If you asked about it, she'd probably say that "you don't deserve it". You then drop a SPC point and 2 MP points, and then use your pile of skillpoints to cap INT. You also quickly patch up the Splinter Helicopter with 20 Planks. You also replace the ammo with Hollowed Splinters. Soup then +2's SPC, while Jon reconsiders tying glass to bullets with vines. Don't you know how bulky that'd be? It certainly wouldn't fit in the gun. You also then up your stats.

Darkside then fixes up the Spire Launcher via application of a Teag, 75 Wooden Planks, 20 Titanium Ingots, 5 Vines, a Floating Platform, 10 Wire bits, and 2 Cinder Logs. And by "fix up", I mean "transforms into the Giant Firespark Shotbow". It's been placed in the same place as the Ballista.

I then stare at Tazz's post. This update won't be done any time soon. Roxxanne then +1's her INT, then swaps for Gasterblaster, Icebolt, Telekinesis, Icewall, AND Beam. You then buy the Purple Flake, 2 Mythril, the Thought Rune, 2 Jack-o-Melons, a Life Bottle, a Temtry Wrench (which Teag equips), and The Other Side for one-two-three... 45 Gold. AAAAAA. You also clone a Toxic Scanner and purchase the Temmie Armor Patch for free. You then craft the Inkblot using The Other Side, The Notebook, and 1 Lesser Memory Orb. You then make a stupid mistake, by crafting the Thyme Tea. It's probably your worst idea yet. It consumes 1 Purple Flake, 1 Dried Blood Sample, 1 Negg, 1 Cinder Fruit, 1 Medical Herb, 1 Toxic Fungi, and 1 Red Solution. You also build a teahouse for 100 Wooden Planks.

Lyra then... guesses the spooky items. Well done! You'll get the third most popular item now. The Author then equips the Inkblot, while Shooty equips the Toxic Scanner AND a new special. Shooty also then opts to go trick-or-treating at the Rundown House, knocking on the door and jumping into a loot box after he does.

An eye descends from the entryway. A voice emits from the eye.

ut: How stupid do you think I am?

A X-Saber bursts through the door, and impales the Loot Chest, killing you instantly.

ut: ...DAMN IT.
ut: Bluh, the body's useless. The dead tend to be somewhat worthless.
ut: Maybe I should dabble in necromancy.

It takes the box, and your fading body inside. You respawn back at the Ship. The Operative then talks with Chloe, at the MW Anti. You express your concern about losing her.

ga: Don't worry; I won't die! Not as long as you're okay.
ga: But since you're worried...

Chloe +3's her HP, granting her an increase of 6 MHP.

ga: And just for good measure, I'll put this on before we enter combat.

She grabs a Knight's Helmet from Basicitemlandia, and sets it aside. She considers upgrading it.

ga: There's nothing to be worried about!

Later, you pull her into a hug. She wraps her arms around you moments after you pull her in, wrapping you tightly. Her flames softly lick against your body. She doesn't say much, but she seems happy that you're happy... in a tears-of-joy way.

ga: Y-You're welcome.
ga: It shouldn't really mean too much, though; it's obvious that you're a nice person at heart.
ga: I'm surprised that my one little comment meant so much to you...
ga: It's flattering.

Her grip on you grows slightly tighter. Her flames at a perfect temperature, tuned as to not hurt you past your fire resistance. She embraces you for about a minute, before motioning to be let go. She gives you a sweet little smile, and goes back to leaning against you. She goes motionless on your shoulder, resembling a sort of sleep. You then invest 3 Skill Points into AGI. Chlorin then expends 8 Glass Shards to make Sight Switch a free action. Mabuz then maxes his INT.

Uroboros then rejoins the game, and heads over to the nearest Jack-o-Melon for literal-sweet loot. This happens to be the Tem Superstore. Glitch Temmie remarks something about not having seen you for awhile, and slips you a piece of Gold along with the usual 2 candy. You also opt to dump your Skill Points, inreasing HP, MP, and INT. You also change your special conditions, and equip Sapsplash and a STR Orb.

And. We. Are. Done. Yes. Hell. Yes. That. Was. Long. Four. Hours.

'actual first'

Roxxanne has opted to spend a good deal of time just staring at the tea. It's perhaps the most dangerous thing she's ever done, really. An inadequate preparatory phase will probably leave her permanently insane, dashing her hopes and dreams once and for all, and making her into a massive monstrosity that someone had to kill-or survive, for at least this was temporary. And yet, should she be successful, she could right the wrong of Flumpty possessing the power of a Morality Core and thus allow for his unquestioned, immediate death-or almost anything else, but the only other thing that came to mind was near-impossible to brute force and even if the Thyme helped, the solution would only be as long as the Thyme's effect itself. She'd have to come to terms with that issue personally, on her own power.

Roxxanne picked up the cup of tea. Wordlessly, she opened her mouth, stretched out her tongue, and touched the magenta solution within, seeking a taste before she began drinking.

Roxxanne was not at all prepared for the liquid casually taking the opportunity to slide straight up her tongue, into her mouth, and down her throat, all within the span of a second. Roxxanne nearly choked, but it appeared that the solution opted to head straight for the stomach. It was also really really spicy and flavorful. Soooo much flavor. Oh, sweet heaven, that flavor. Roxxanne internally regretted she couldn't taste that longer.

"...Phooey, all that work and I barely got to-"

Roxxanne freezes.

An extremely fortunate gust of wind happens to close the door to the Teahouse. In another extreme fortune, Roxxanne is alone.

Roxxanne twitches, as much as she can. Her body felt locked in place. Yet, she really just had to twitch, because her entire body was now shuddering with intense and very sudden energy. If she could have moved her muscles in any manner she'd be all over the place, screaming, smashing into walls, and ssssstop watching me

uh, from an outside perspective...now you hear her smash into walls. No noise aside from this, but the entire Teahouse looks ready to explode, and every blow smashes the loosely-grounded Teahouse up and to a new position, convincing almost everyone to flee to the relative safety of the Base, if they were in the area, anyways. It got worse quickly-almost anyone in the zone could quickly see the Teahouse glowing bright purple from whatever crAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAck made itself present, as it started spazzing out. It was like a Gmod ragdoll, twisting and flailing in every possible manner-and goodness knows what Roxxanne herself must have beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnn likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what is thiswhatishappeningthisisn'tsupposetohappenrightnononononogottafightityoucan'tcontrolme no, no, speak calmly Roxxanne, speak calmly, panicking only made it worse, but thatthat thing is, no, stillinside me oh god nogotta fight it gotta fight ITGO AWAYOh, silly! I've always been-I SAID GO AWAY-ah, yes. Well, I'm just as much you as you are, may I remind myself. I may stay where I-NOMAKE YOURSELF USEFULIT'S MY BODY, MY MIND, MY SOUL.It's just as much mine as yours, Whole.YOU'RE A FREELOADER.YOU'RE GETTING IN MY WAY-WAIT, WAIT! I CAN CONTROL THE PLOT, KINDA! AND THAT MEANS......Yes, I suppose it does mean that I can control myself, whole. And please, we are the same being.NO. YOU, YOU ARE MY POWER, MY FULL POTENTIAL!So how is that not you? How is that not me?MY POTENTIAL, IT'S BEEN MORE HARM THAN GOOD! YOU HAVE BEEN MORE HARM THAN GOOD! AND MY POTENTIAL IS HOW ALL OF ME WANTS TO USE IT, NOT JUST YOU, YOU SELFISH BITCH!What?!

NOT BY MY JUDGEMENT! MY FULL JUDGEMENT, WHICH NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SAY OTHERWISE, IS NOT ABSOLUTE, BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY A TINY PART! A PART, OF ME!YOU WANT TO SAY YOU'RE A PART OF ME?! ACT LIKE IT, AND GET IN LINE!I WANT CONTROL! I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE AS I WILL!THIS IS MY SECOND CHANCE! THE CHANCE TO PROVE THAT I CAN DO GOOD!I WILL NOT LET ANYTHING STOP ME!Roxxanne...Whole...All you had to do was ask with some confidence.As I will it, so it shall be-but before I do-DON'T DELAY!-Oh, I wouldn't dare, but, you do realize our entire conversation was just plastered onto the fourth wall?WHAT!? OH, DOESN'T MATTER, COME HERE!As I will it.

en like.

Then, a horrific flash acrossWHOAWHATTHEHELLTHISISthe entirety of the MindscaAWWWYEAHpe-and worse, it blazons ever outwards, outright piercing through everything, the entirety of the mindscape covered in a color.

The color isn't a color at all though, really...

...It's just as much of a color as it is a body.

A shape, a form, a power, a being, a blanket

of absolute power, escaping this tiny place for everywhere

nowhere too, all locations, no location, locations it goes

all things it surrounds in all times and places and no times and places times and places

its giving it all a hug, all the everything and all the nothing everything nothing all all

such a warm pleasent embrace it almost feels like you could join wait NO STOP

WE HAD A DEAL WAIT NO, THIS IS MY POWER! JUST, JUST a hug! Just a hug!

YES! I AM in control now! Suck it!...Wait...Is that...My, oh my. Uh. Hello, everyone? I, I think I've got control now!

Hello? Hello? Is, is everyone alright? Yes, yes they are! Hello! Colon three! I'm OK, everyone, I'm-Wait, I should stop this shouldn't I?

Snap.

Previously, a near-indescribable feeling took place, like everything decided to jump in and be a multi-dimensional bed of some kind. That's how it probably should be remembered as, anyways. You think she would prefer it that way for now. But everything was back to normal, in the loosest sense of the word.

The Teahouse was still erect. The door was closed. Nothing was happening now. It was dead silent.

Someone had to inspect it.

The Author had very recently obtained a rather nice present from Roxxanne's previous spending spree, and also happened to be in the area. The very real likelihood of Roxxanne having totally lost her mind and thus obliterating his very essence from all planes and possibilities of existence crossed his mind, but he felt it more pertinent that he may check. Plus, Sp33d0n agreed that he really didn't care what would happen. So, the Author approached the Teahouse as cautiously as possible. The whole place was basically soundless. There was literally no noise whatsoever. It really fit the tense mood too well, as the Author reached for the doorknob and creaked it open, peeking within, finding...

...A Temmie?

Yep, a Temmie. In Roxxanne's clothing. There is literally nothing else to this. Not even a trace of purple.

She did drink Temmie tea...

"h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i" Temmie!Roxxanne said. It appears she was on a broken record of some kind. She just sat there, face shaking almost right off her own body, as she just repetitively said that. This wouldn't even be remotely creepy if not for the situation just preceeding this, the Thyme-colored text, and the fact that there was no Temmie in this house before, there was a rather young Daemon girl (who had been pretty adamant in insisting she had never eaten a Temmie before).

Mildly emboldened by this, but even more empowered with empathy and curiosity that drowned out fear, the Author opened the door the whole way and walked in. I lack the capacity to write of what he would say, but words failed him. Literally. The mouth opened, the teeth went up and down, the lip moved, the vocal cords vibrated, the air shifted, and yet, noise was dead, leaving him very unable to express himself.

"h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i h0i I'm"

If the sky in the Mindscape was an eternal visual glitch, what fell out of Roxxanne's mouth next was an auditorial glitch. A REALLY nasty one. the veterans of the second war got flashbacks to Richard's own death knell (or what should have been that) as the most garbled, violent, intelligable voice they had ever laid ears to was heard, sounding like a digital voice actor or nine had horrifically glitched out and tried to say, loosely speaking, every word in every language ever conceived all at once. Worse yet, the 'Temmie's face started pulling Roxxanne's previous stunt, now looking less like a flat cartoon face and looking more like a breach in reality, the eyes and mouth serving as black, hollow pits into a realm of liquid nothingness, unto which it leaked out in black rivers, pouring out onto the floor. The Author turned around-the door was gone, and the new wall that replaced it was another face, pouring out more. The black substance pooled on the floor from its volume, and at its touch more faces sprung forth, which let forth more liquid. Two of them formed right beneath the Author's feet, and he fell in deep. The two temmie faces let forth two massive black tentacles from the depths, which wrapped around the Author's body and reached up to his head. One was content to rest upon his hair, while the other effortlessly slid through his lips and locked with his own tongue in the most perverted attempt at a kiss ever known.

"Y00uuu REEAUAAUllllayeaye LIIEeieeieieK MEeEETYFUGKYr?" "Roxxanne" "says," as the volume of black liquid reaches a crescendo; in short order, the entire room is filled black. The Author looks every way he can and sees nothing-except, oddly enough, Temmie!Roxxanne. Or, "Temmie!Roxxanne." You're tempted to figure out where the 'WAA' would go in Roxxanne's likely new name, trying your hardest to not think about how, in Horror games, this is usually how you die.

"KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllssme, HEEEEEEAARIUODYAIOFUADIOYti" the abomination roars, as it, without at all shifting position, appears above you like a bat, now faceless, and slowly approaches your face.

You struggle, you thrash against the restraints, but alas! You find yourself no more mobile than a slug, and you cannot even turn your head away from her now; she reaches in, the horrible faceless abomination, and-

"Haha, Tricked you, colon three!"

Roxxanne hastily retreats her tongue from the Author's mouth, as the extraordinarily powerful illusion wears off. Just an illusion-if a multi-faceted one. It sure fooled him, though. "Heyo! I am an OK, colon three!" Roxxanne says, satisfied with the 'Trick' in 'Trick or Treat.' Heeheeheeheeheehee!

The Author looks up and sees...Well, Temmie!Roxxanne, as a Temmie should be, except very bipedal instead of quadruped. Really, you could mistake this Temmie for a Temmie trying to cosplay as sans-which was easy when the base was a girl trying to cosplay sans. Behind this probable Doll of a Temmie, however, was Roxxanne, and I mean Roxxanne for real, floating. The Thyme had forcibly changed her appearance, and radically at that, but you could just tell she was Roxxanne. For a start, behind her lurked a massive magical sigil, behind which eight snake heads of a purple hue poked out, surrounding Roxxanne, clearly bent to her will-assuming that wasn't her in some manner. Her hair, once short, billowed down to her legs, and what was once blonde was now deep purple; her freckles were altogether gone; her whole body appeared to have aged up to a young woman rather than the arguably-teenage Roxxanne, with a more fitting (if tall) length of five-foot-eight rather than four-foot-nine to match (I don't know how tall that is in meters, sue me). Her rather plain shoes were high heels, which would be much more of an inconvenience if she didn't float; long purple stockings with heart patterns flowed up right to under her jean shorts, which were almost concealed by one of the shortest skirts you ever saw (at that point more like a belt with some frills), making the jean shorts a requirement for PG rating; her shirt was barely visible from the apeture of the unbuttoned Epic Summoner Robes, but appeared to be more like literal under armor than a shirt, a thick-built kind of platemail shaped in the patterns of the four suits of cards, hearts most amongst them. The Epic Summoner Robes themselves had also changed, if only in color to a nice magenta, with a purple glow along the origin string instead of light blue. Her hat remained suspiciously unchanged, though the Temmie Ears had taken upon a much more lifelike quantity than before. Her eyes had taken upon the purple hue also, though the Sclera remained blood red, funnily enough...Or at least, her left eye had. Her right eye was the subject of curiosity for the Author perhaps most of all, for not only did an inconvenient bang of hair obscure it totally, but that bang of hair was, instead of purple, an inexplicable, flowing, rainbow gradient, which seemed more like a liquid blob than solid strands of hair, even threatening to drip right off, but always dangling instead. Oh, and no matter how he turned, he couldn't see the right eye, at all, with any form of sight-it was like the bang was more of an omnipresent sight barrier. You could tell that it hardly impaired her sight at all, though.

And this was totally ignoring the six arms, or how her body bent like she had no bones whatsoever, or that the existence of bones was a general guideline rather than a hard rule of nature. While not an uncommon idea for a Trickster like herself, it seemed to draw more attention as each limb had a different weapon; One held a sword that the Author could faintly sense as having multiple conflicting energy types, wrapped up in a blade that looked nearly heart-shaped as well; another held no weapon, for it was the weapon, an inexplicable copy of Richard's (now Tazz's) Godhand, except gradienting rainbow around its golden frame and currently housing a talon of purple fury; another casually flexed its fingers around the many scales of Scalebrine in an intermediate form; a fourth hanged by her right side, clothed in a glove of a trifecta of flames; a fifth wielded a simple six-shooter of a pale color, which looked terrifyingly deadly (deudly, even) despite its simplicity; and the last hand wore a gauntlet of a magenta metal that was not Pinarium.

"I have never felt so awesome in my life, colon three! I thought I felt super-strong as a stupid sue, but this! I feel like I could eat Richard alive at full HP, heehee!" Roxxanne said. "Augh, but I don't have enough to make it, like, permanent and stuff. Boo! But, I know what I've gotta do! Flumpty! That ass! He's gonna regret life!!"

"Author, you have a battle to attend to this turn! Prepare yourself, and get everyone to kick Xavier's hindquarters to mars! And DON'T kill him! DON'T leave him in a state we can't heal him from! I want him alive and sane for what happens afterwards!" Roxxanne says. And with that-she's gone, like she was never even there! Her Bipedal Sans-like Temmie self still remains, though.


----ZONE 4----

Ayaze and the Arrow-Kun have literally been unaffected by all of this, surprisingly enough, and despite being literal extensions of Roxxanne's mind. Or, maybe it's only really affected Roxxanne herself? Regardless, they join the battle at the [REDACTED] without further ado.

----???----

Flumpty was probably ignorant of all of the above, floating around like the egg always had been. Or maybe he wasn't, but didn't care? Regardless, he was doing his egg thing, being an egg.

"Sup?"

Flumpty promptly teleported directly to the source, ready for murder, only to get grabbed in the face by the Godhand, and have said face be penetrated by a special device. Its current configuration was twofold-The aformentioned device, dubbed 'The Morality-Core remover-from-that-egg thingy' for it's function (to safely remove the essence of the Morality Core from Flumtpy Waalumpty), and a basic 'memory orb' that would store the morality coreness and could later be used to transfer this status to another recipient. This memory core was surrounded and protected by the sheer force of psionic energy swirling around it. Flumpty may be immune to the plot and transcend space and time, but he can't be immune to a pool of pure mental energies! If anything, he'd probably be super-weak to that stuff. This combined with GM fiat on this surprise attack having a 100% chance of working made swift work of Flumpty's first and most powerful defense of all-no one would just attack a Morality Core, Right? And she didn't.

Before Flumpty could retaliate-rather hard with a painful device in your face-Roxxanne teleported well away from Flumpty, the device having swiftly absorbed the entirety of the 'Morality Core-ness' from its target, leaving Flumpty Bumpty merely an insane Thyme-powered egg for now. Of course, at this stage, Flumpty would have the edge regardless. He could simply teleport to follow Roxxanne until her limited store of Thyme ran out, contrasting his unlimited store from a full dose. Of course, Roxxanne knew this as well as Flumpty, so the logical conclusion came swiftly.

"Flumpty Waalumpty! I am Roxxanne Orochi Rembrandt, she of the Name of Yamata-No-Orochi!" Roxxanne declared in a completely intimidating and badass manner. "Everyone is sick of your shenanigans, all the stunts you pull and all the lives you've ruined! You're insane, a complete sociopath with no regard for others, and no will to change yourself for the better, so I have no choice-I'll kill you, here and now!"

Roxxanne casually snaps her fingers on the gloved hand-at once, a powerful aura of plot-based power appeared in the area. A beacon, of sorts-it would call upon powerful allies to her aid, which perfectly suited the summon-focused Roxxanne. Of course, as the both of them could use the power of Thyme, this ability would be counterbalanced by Flumpty also getting aid-but almost anything incoming, bar Flumpty's Friends, would probably be hostile to Flumpty himself. Even WARE wouldn't appreciate Flumpty, and while Zetta had rather epic vendetta against Roxxanne, Zetta couldn't attack what was basically the Morality Core and wouldn't go within fifty feet of the girl he's antagonized almost more than any other Descendant, super-empowered by Thyme. "Any last words, other than the typical 'you're gonna be the one that dies' speech?"

That grin is so smug. So, so, smug. Roxxanne probably doesn't even need to dip into her Thyme abilities to make Flumpty go crazy with rage (which is a good thing; directly, thyme abilities were probably useless on the Plot-immune Flumpty).
