<TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIVE>
Alt decides to craft the Binding Hatstack, expending 7 Hallowed Bars and an Enchanted Hatstack. This allows the wearer to give themselves the buffs that they inflict! It's probably a must-have for the Author. Battlefury then personally invites Chloe to a c h r i s t m a s p a r t y.

ga: Sure! Sounds like fun!
ga: Thing is, what'll happen if Chirstmas Day (or eve) falls during a battle?
ga: I somehow doubt Chairitomb would chug eggnog with us, despite how great that mental image is.
ga: But yeah; I'll be there!

You also send some invitations to Mari, Marron, Ette, and TOFS.


Meanwhile, Chaos simply puts up a question.

cc: oh ©ool a par(t)y
cc: do you really (t)hink you ©an fit... (t)he en(t)ire minds©ape a(t) (t)he par(t)y, (t)hough
cc: some of your invi(t)es are ques(t)ionable a(t) bes(t), (t)oo
cc: i ©an assure you (t)ha(t) bill and a© would s©rew you over
cc: plus (t)his also sounds like a (t)rap (t)o kill me (no(t) (t)ha(t) you'd a©©omplish mu©h)
cc: "you also forgo(t) (t)o invi(t)e ze(t)(t)a you gorilla
cc: ze(t)(t)a has (t)he righ(t) (t)o par(t)y (t)oo
cc: #ze(t)(t)arigh(t)s

You then expend a ton of resources in making an awesome party house + tree that Notch would be proud of. The process takes 20 Iron Ingots, 23 Iron Ore, 20 Cinder Logs, 20 Hallowed Logs, 15 Glass Shards, 3 Gold Ingots, 35 Wire Bits, and 500 Spruce Logs (for 1 Gold).

Marron immediately brainstorms ideas for two presents. She tries her best to conceal her laughter. Healerbot Xenogenesis then fuses the Dictionary, the Master Round, the Origin Gunpowder, 3 Gold Ingots, 5 Iron Ingots, 10 Titanium Ingots, 7 Durasteel Ingots, and some MP (which you instantly get back). You also expend 5 extra Titanium and Durasteel to reinforce the book with Duratanium. It lets you roll. Like Fish. Cool.

Roxxanne then goes off to ask Gladius how she'd feel if her brother was transformed into an anime girl.

ga: I'd be... pretty upset. Like a 6. That sounds really, really painfu-
ga: Wait, Lyra?
ga: Does this have something to do with her "little" prank?
ga: If she really did that, that's not a "little" prank!
ga: ...
ga: I'll be fine with it and forgive her if "he's" cute, and if the process was quick and painless.

You also then fuse some Mage Robes and some Metal Plating, using 10 Titanium Ingots in the process. This creates the Armored Mage Robes, which doesn't seem to boost MHP or MMP as much, but what can you do? You also create the Inkblot Prime using the... Inkblot, of course, along with the Titanite Chunk, 10 Durasteel Ingots, a Gold Ingot, 10 Glass Shards, and 1 Yung Venus Action Figure. You also ask Glitch Temmie for a Mythril Ingot.

"Resurrection? Are you really sure you can do that? Even though I do have my doubts, I'll give you the bar. Just a reminder, use the bar for anything else other than the Resurrection, and I'll find you."

Glitch Temmie winks. It's slightly terrifying. Meanwhile, the Author thanks TOFS as he +1's his STR. I then mostly add Joe's stuff... but since when did you change the Wand of Skies to a cost-dropping thing? Last time something dropped costs, it completely broke the game. A %-based drop would break it into three new sessions somehow. Anyway, your special was added; all you need now is a weapon. Jon then +1's his STR while Teag goes and harvests the garden, obtaining 26 Silkweed, 7 Medical Herbs, 5 Melons, and a Cinder Fruit.

<BATTLE: FOE RUSH ZONE THREE, TURN TWELVE>
Darkside rushes into Xi, slamming his chair into Xi's Memory Orb, instantly shattering it! Ire would be proud. [small][small](which I am)[/small][/small] Water flies out in all directions, water globbules forcibly ripping themselves off the water horse! Xi's form destabilizes, turning into a pool of water at your feet! The water soon evaporates, glitched pulses coursing through the water as it does...

...You then keel over, and DIE. Ire would suddenly not be proud of you. You then suddenly recieve those nerfs that were talked about earlier; no regen after Final Form use, and no resurrection / autorevive for a turn after suicide.

Marron takes time to celebrate the victory, beaming and smiling as she parades out of the battle, reemerging in the Ascent. The rest of you follow in suit, and head back to the MW Anti. Ette opts to take some time to fully patch up everyone. Xavier simply stays put at the Ascent.

...Toast also takes time to identify Button 1, which isn't so much an actual button but a trigger. Huh. The Nightmarron fires a high-recoil round, launching you across the Ascent. You're almost certain that it's a honestly-better replica of the Crescent Rose by this point.

ga: Eee, I have 9 skillpoints?
ga: What should I do with them...?

Anyway, maybe you should take Chloe to see Xavier or something. There's also a statue to vandalize, as well as the issue of Chairitomb.

Planning to nerf Guardian by lowering it's scaling power. Thoughts? It'd be +1 AC per 3 INT as opposed to +1 AC per 2 INT in terms of scale.

Roxxanne detonates Teag's chances of a first post with extreme prejudice.

She then reappears to Chloe in the flesh as the battle ended. "Yes, it has to deal with that. Her definition of 'little prank' is that. Let's be real, Descendants have ressurective immortality, are invulnerable anyways, and warp reality. That is a little prank to us, undone just like that. Things are different here... But in any case, it was painless and I believe that Lyra can't not transform people into cute girls, so all boxes ticked. I can actually show you, eheh, her."

Roxxanne proceeds to Telekinesis Mari over from whatever she may have been doing.

"Yadda yadda meet your big sister Mari. For purposes of not suddenly making every Temmie on the planet kill her, don't refer to her as Xavier. Or a him. Oh, we're not turning her back until we leave, if we do, for reasons already stated..." Roxxanne pauses here. "...Let's just ignore that for now. Though it is rather hard. Chloe, I just thought of something. Do you want your brother to stay here, with you, or are you OK with letting him go? I mean, he is your brother. This is going to basically determine if he's the Morality Core again or not. A bit of a big decision to make, but the Moralsphere is kind of starting to get fritzy so we need to pick sooner rather than later, and I think you've thought over the whole thing... Now's the time, right?"

Roxxanne then turns to Mari. "Yeah, no matter what, though, you are going to the party. I don't want you wandering off on your own. If you were in my position, would you want me wandering off, thinking of doing something to kill us all while our backs are turned? If you really didn't want any of this nonsense, you should have reconsidered trying for that deal with Bill or harming Gladius. Plus, if you do want to make the God's Hand drone again, that will be when I'm around, and I will be making sure you can't do anything... Funny. I actually do have an interesting idea for that drone... In any case, if you don't go, I'm going to follow you no matter what you do, and I can annoy you all day all by myself, so you either get to stick around with the most annoying person you know that you can't kill in one clean hit, or you could get an opportunity to implore Lyra to change you and take it easy for a change-she's the only one who can, mind you, and I won't have any control over her out of here, nor will I have any guarentees she'll be in the mood." Roxxanne says.

...Roxxanne than talks out loud to herself despite not leaving either alone. "...Why is it that I'm always the one who has to play rough with people around here? I just want to cuddle a puppy or somethin' else adoriboo, but I keep having to deal with jerks or bear the bad news or deal with uncomfortable topics and such! So annoying! I want to talk about fun things! Like puppies! Or punching people really hard with kung-fu! Or magic!"

Roxxanne then looks at herself. Being a mage is OK... But, it's not fun. It also doesn't help that two already-good mages (and Pricey) were running around and everyone else tended towards that archetype. She would like to start contributing less to that archetype. And, you know what else? In a world wherein the strongest luantics also had the most raw magical power, in effect, Roxxanne would look like an even more insane badass if she could use her bare fists to obliterate every threat. Chaos failed to recognize the power of that at all, so her fists were useless in the Mindscape... Until the mask came along, that is.

Roxxanne shifts her mindscape body to something else. With Six Skillpoints and the Mask to equip, Roxxanne lops off a point in AGI, tones her INT down to 5, and then uses this to buff her STR all the way up to 11, so her current stats are STR 11/AGI 11/INT 5/SPC 1. With the Mask on, STR and AGI hit capped stats, so that's 12/12/5/1. Roxxanne is now the fastest, strongest thing in this Mindscape by far. And Roxxanne is very happy with that. "Yeah! I feel so goooooood! Colon D! THIS is what I was looking for!"

With that, her spells shift to something far more noteworthy for her build. She picks up Enchant Weapon: Light and Counter in her first two slots and keeps Blarksphere in the third. She drops the 4th "12 INT" Skillslot, of course, no longer having 12 INT. She also abandons Scalebrine as a weapon (build can't use it), allowing it to be used by anyone for any purpose as long as it's smart (it's stronk), and donates the Temmie Tophat to Wilson, taking his Temmie Ears for something way more interesting...

----CRAFTING: Medal of True Heroism----

Roxxanne gets the basic bits out of the way. Roxxanne is crafting an entirely new item from the ground up to maximum tier, so she'll need a lot of things done. The first thing she does is to make the key ingredient housing the power she needs-the Temmie Ears-into a frame that more represents the entity that she intends to ressurect. The Temmie Hero was last seen as the Tem of Cinders, so Cinder Wood and fire in general is related, right? It's a loose relation, but using Entropic Fragments or related items is absolutely out of question. Roxxanne wants The Temmie Hero back as the Temmie Hero, not as some Butterfly-infused abomination of nature that is sad and unhappy and barely there. No! Back to the crafting, Roxxanne proceeds to take the general frame of the Temmie Ears, that is to say the fluffy cute outside that houses the internal translation mechanisms. Roxxanne proceeds to take the Cinder Wood and carve it into the appropriate form, a (hard wooden) equivalent of the Temmie Ears themselves. With this done, Roxxanne carves out the mechanisms as delicately as possible from the original ears and puts them into the Cinder Wood counterparts.

Bam! There we have it, our first part of this little thing. Cinder Wood Temmie Ears. Neither are on a band, though, but that was deliberate. Roxxanne proceeds to finish up the ears by taking a small carving knife and cutting in a lot of runes. Most of them relate to revival, preserverence, determination, heroism, strength, and things of that nature. It's pretty clear that Roxxanne wants to make the Temmie Hero much stronger on the return.

Roxxanne proceeds to take 5 Gold Ingots, 3 Hallowed Bars and the Mythril Ingot. Now, normally, from this, Roxxanne would just either pound or melt the metal into the appropriate shape, but not this time. Roxxanne takes hold of all five Gold Ingots, all three 3 Hallowed Bars and the Mythril Ingot. In a fiery surge of aura and power, Roxxanne melts down all four bars/ingots into a small basin with the sheer power of her reborn infinite burning fighting spirit! Her sheer inability to give up in energy form melts down all the metal, leaving within the basin powerful alloy, infused with a trace of the endless fury of Roxxanne's infinite burning fighting spirit! The metal molten, Roxxanne takes the basin and pours the metal into a casing for it-in this case, that of several tiny chain links for a necklace, and a singular medallion. several bits of the Medal are actually hollow; Roxxanne needs to put stuff in there later. Roxxanne merges all the chain links together to create the necklace now, and she makes sure that the Medal is secured to the necklace. What's left of the medal that doesn't require much explamation is that the medal bears the outline of a Temmie's face, smiling. Roxxanne attaches the Cinder Wood Temmie Ears to this necklace, making it more obvious.

So, now we have an Incomplete Temmie Medal, with Cinder Wood Temmie Ears. It was already pretty cute but by itself it probably wouldn't have much power, with most of it coming from the intensely powerful alloy that I shall hereby dub "Determinatanium." On the back, Roxxanne calmly etches in a few more runes like the above, that she carved into the Temmie Ears; more runes relating to rebirth, power, determination, ect. You don't need to hear this much twice.

Roxxanne proceeds to put all of this on hold and rush all the way over to Zone 3, to the shrinking pad at the tiny house. She takes out the Mystical Artifact, a highly powerful magical weapon of unprecedented awesomesauce, deeply related to the Temmies for somehow being within Glitch Temmie's stomach for an extended period. She sets that aside, and takes the only bit of Temmie Flakes that the gang has left, as well as a Temmie Tea and one bit of Magical Cardboard (if you must know, it was formerly the Faceless Summoner card), and finally the group's only Life Bottle. Roxxanne proceeds to take the Temmie Flakes and put them into the Omnidisciplinary Crafting Station, setting the package upon a grate. She then proceeds to put the one bit of Magical Cardboard beneath this grate, and at once her entire body flares up with infinite burning fighting spirit! The powerful flames of preserverence, justice and ideals burns the Cardboard but leaves the magic, which, like a gas, floats up into the Temmie Flakes, and infuses itself there, and leaving Roxxanne with one package of Magical Temmie Flakes.

Roxxanne proceeds to burst out another bit of Temmie Tea, the last bit they own in fact. Roxxanne considers using some of her money in the future to just buy some restorative items, and notes how two bits of Temmie Tea of the three bought were used to make stuff instead of restoring MP. Whatever! This is more important! Roxxanne proceeds to pluck some of the regular Temmie Flakes out of the spice mixture in the Tea's spices, before replacing most of them with the Magical equivalent. She then proceeds to make the Tea in an otherwise normal fashion, creating Magical Temmie Tea. Once that is done, Roxxanne proceeds to morph the OCS into a brewing stand and infuse the Magical Temmie Tea into the Life Bottle, creating a... Temmie Immortemity Potion?

Roxxanne shrugs. It's stupid powerful, but you know what is better than a turn of invulnerability? Bringing an awesome friend back! She's not entirely sure if that's the only way to make it, either. It may not be. Who knows? But

Roxxanne proceeds to take the new Temmie Immortemity Potion and two Diamonds. There are two hollow holes in the eyes of the still-incomplete Temmie Medal. Roxxanne would just place the Diamonds there, but the Diamonds as they are, are insufficient. Roxxanne puts the two Diamonds down on the Omnidisciplinary Crafting Station, as well as the Life Bottle, and various infusement runes. Roxxanne would almost do another chant, almost seeming ready to do it, but then Roxxanne grunts to herself. Roxxanne takes the Diamonds, shifts the Omnidisciplinary Crafting Station into a different setting, placing the two Diamonds in holders above a small basin, the holders laced with runes of absorption. Roxxanne puts in the Mystical Artifact (I had it out for a reason) into the bottom of the Basin, and then pours in the Temmie Immortemity Potion into this basin. The Mystical Artifact lights up with the presence of a much more powerful than usual substance that it loosely recognizes as a form of Temmie Flakes.

Roxxanne proceeds to stick both of her hands in there, touching the Mystical Artifact and activating a spell just for this purpose. The Mystical Artifact naturally absorbs the Temmie Immortemity Potion, or at least the powerful magical bits of it, leaving some liquid that is probably water, but before it can actually proceed with the spell, Roxxanne flares up by the sheer power of her infinite burning fighting spirit! The result also infuses itself with the Mystical Artifact, and it proceeds to flare up with some kind of heavily-modified fire spell. End result near-instantly evaporates the remaining liquid, now infused with the power of Temmies, Life eternal, Mystical Artifacts, and of cousre, Roxxanne's infinite burning fighting spirit! The fumes waft up into the Diamonds, which seems to suck in the vapors like a vaccum. The light-blue Diamonds turn bright white and catch alight with the warm glint of, among other things, infinite burning fighting spirit! Roxxanne is satisfied with this step, so Roxxanne proceeds to stick the small Diamonds into some hollow eye-sockets in the Incomplete Temmie Medal, completing a part of it.

Roxxanne proceeds to rush over to the tiny house in Zone 3 with the Mystical Artifact. She did a lot with those two Diamonds but it won't be enough. Roxxanne sticks the Mystical Artifact-which is pretty orb-like already-into the Shrink Pad and shrinks it down to a tiny size. Roxxanne carefully picks it up and inserts it neatly into a smaller slot on the nose. What else for an artifact intended to bring back a Temmie than the most powerful Temmie-related thing Roxxanne knew of? It was practically a no-brainer. This now leaves us with a partially-completed Temmie Medal. But it wasn't done, as most of the outer bits hadn't been filled in.

Roxxanne pulls out four Cinder Logs (she had only used one for the Ears). Now, it should be obvious, but when your primary power is passion-based, you tend to use a lot of fire, or rather, a very different kind of fire known as infinite burning fighting spirit! As such, Cinder Logs would be requisite in the Temmie Hero coming back, as a bit of a final boost, and also just to fill in the medal for the all-important style. Roxxanne would just carve up a single Cinder Log for the whole process, but she wanted the best for the Temmie Hero, to be the strongest and coolest thing ever. As such, she proceeds to put the four Cinder Logs side-by-side, and then flare up in infinite burning fighting spirit! (you can see that she really likes to flare up with that.) Roxxanne then proceeds to just punch the Cinder Logs into each other, aflame in Determination Incarnate, punching the logs so evenly that, instead of entirely breaking into a pile of splinters (albeit some wood does splinter off from force), the four logs merge into a singular log, of a wood now burning eternally white with the endless power of infinite burning fighting spirit! Roxxanne then proceeds to carve a bit of the wood off of the top, enscribing a few more 'life' runes to the back, and then pushes them into the appropriate spots on the Temmie Medal, making sure they fight so tight they couldn't get knocked off easily.

So, now we have a Temmie Medal. It brims with multiple powers, but none so bright as the sheer fury of infinite burning fighting spirit! Of course, Roxxanne isn't done yet. This isn't enough.

Roxxanne proceeds to take 5 Hollowed Logs from the inventory, and carve them into a small altar. The altar depicts various stages of heroism, bravery, preserverence, and dead-center in the front, a shot of a Temmie shooting a loose interpretation of Anarchist's Creation (the Temmie's identity is a mystery to no-one)She takes six Magical Wax Candles. You remember those, don't you? From the post where Roxxanne infused Gladius with the two Origin Blaze Rods? Roxxanne considers the application of some Origin Blaze Powder, but no-at this point the thing is definitely as close to as powerful as she could probably get it. In any case, she places the six candles upon the altar, four on the corners, one on the back end, and one at the front, and procedurally lights them all... With her infinite burning fighting spirit! Roxxanne really likes her infinite burning fighting spirit! She'll just leap on the chance to use it. In any case it's important.

Roxxanne places the Temmie Medal dead-center, and begins the usual chanty thingy that wraps this kind of thing up. "Audite me, sed cavum ex mundo est ad mortem! Illa ego sum, cui nomen Yamata Orochi No! Et facta est quam videre faciem hic! See infinitam virtutem, et his, qui in ardore pugnae Spiritus perderet milia hostium, quam se? Quaero ex te, excavatum orbis! Ducite eum, reddentem in carne et sanguine, et quia non tam in eum qui ad virtutem et potestatem suam indigent!"

Roxxanne proceeds to flare up in infinite burning fighting spirit! She places her hands upon the Amulet, and the entire bloody altar glows white hot, with all the images flaring and all the candles turning into small pillars of fire.

"Heroic perdiderit animam suam usque ad mortem! Et dabo tibi animam? Accipe et iterum faceret!"

The altar is now totally consumed in the fiery whiteness of infinite burning fighting spirit! All anyone can see is Roxxanne and the faint outline of a very familiar Temmie from within the flames...


EXPENDING: 5 Cinder Logs, 5 Hollowed Logs, 5 Gold Ingots, 3 Hallowed Bars, 2 Diamonds, 1 Mythril Ingot, 1 Life Bottle, 1 Temmie Ears, 1 Temmie Flakes, 1 Temmie Tea, 1 Magical Cardboard, 1 Mystical Artifact, approximately two hours of my life

Medal of True Heroism Tem is a true hero!
Effect: At the start of every battle, summon the Temmie Hero. The wielder and their summons may choose to deal Fire damage with their basic attacks at all times.

((Ire, you get to tell me what the Temmie Hero (a) is and (b) the stats thereof, because I really wouldn't be able to tell, other than maybe Temmie shifts to fist and bow in accord, because infinite burning fighting spirit! and all that. If there's any cute bonus effects like +1 HP regen or such then you can throw that in too, but above all else, aside from the Fire Damage thingy, I want the Temmie Hero to be badass.))

The Operative seems to have wandered off...

South of the Rundown House, at the zone of the Bonfire battle, nice and distant from other people, The Operative stands. Then, he decides not to stand, sitting down in a meditative cross-legged position upon the floor where the bonfire once burned. He seems to be deep in thought, electricity randomly jumping between parts of his body, lighting up the area at each flash briefly. Then, he opens his eyes. Both of them have turned a monochrome yellow colour. Slowly, he rises in the air, somehow suspending himself in the air without assistance, then concentrates. The metal plating of his body begins to quiver, then rocket off, metal plating beginning to slam down around the area to form a large platform of metal plates. Lightning zaps through the gaps between the plates, strong enough to bind the plating together for the purposes of providing a nice stable floor, wires scattering across the metal in a pattern to interlock the plates with each other and make doubly sure they hold. The Operative suddenly realizes he has nowhere enough metal plates on his body to actually do what he wanted to do, and so he decides to rely on some external help to continue his plans.

In the skies of the mindscape, directly above The Operative's location in the Bonfire, the crackling of electricity and flashing of lightning can be seen, yellow bolts leaping from section to section of the sky. They almost seem to be forming a pattern... Slowly, as the flashes of lightning become more powerful and glow stronger, shock bolts interlocking repeatedly with each other and beginning to self-perpetuate without external energy being required, a symbol begins to form in the sky, the symbol of a carefully-measured round circle crossed over by a roughly-"drawn" X. The symbol Escutcheon, the symbol of unfathomable power at the cost of personality, begins to flash and glow with the light of the electrical blasts that constitute this recreation. The symbol begins to spin, then lowers towards the ground of the Bonfire zone, crashing into the metal platform that the Operative constructed for himself. Upon contact, a mighty blast of yellow rockets upwards into the sky, bathing the mindscape in the brilliant golden glow emitted from the display of power, untold levels of might being harnessed from the creation of the symbol.

Down below once more, with the power coursing through his wires, the Operative slowly rises up further in the air, beginning to unfold into a more comfortable and much larger form, that of many interlocking wires crossing over each other and locked into mechanical components, flickering with electricity as it flows through them. Then, the metal platform begins to quiver, a sudden eruption of metal emerging from the sides and corners of the platform to slip outwards and upwards, covering the section at the foot of the blast of power in the embrace of steel, heated to a degree so strong that the land itself seems to be beginning to cook beneath it, dirt melting and flowing out from under the platform. A roof also begins to form once the metal walls have towered to a certain height, interlocking with itself much like the floors and walls themselves did, obscuring the Operative from view. With the obscuring of view, the light also stops glowing everywhere in the mindscape, probably a relief to those with sensitive eyes or a weakness to Light.


The Facility has been constructed. Now to proceed with the creation.


Inside the small Facility that the Operative has constructed in order to hide his actions from prying eyes, he quickly encases himself in metal plating once more to hide his body, then cracks his knuckles. Wires begin to extend out from between the cracks in the metal plates of his body, sparking faintly and pulling a few items from the inventory. First, his wires grab hold of a FLOATING PLATFORM, dragging it into his Facility and placing it onto the metal floor. Soon, his wires move to rip the object apart, grabbing the generator from within the floating platform and yanking it clean out of the Floating Platform, other wires moving to scavenge what's left of the platform for other uses. Doing so gives him one GENERATOR and DURASTEEL SCRAP, nice for crafting with.

Then, his wires move to fetch a few other miscellaneous ingredients in order to perfect his new pet project. Wires reach deep into the inventory, beginning to pull out objects such as WIRE BITS, CIRCUIT BOARDS, and a few DURASTEEL INGOTS if any are left. Slowly, he begins to set the objects down around him on the floor, doublechecking to make sure the Facility is nice and secure in case of an accident, then he begins to get to work. His wires begin to gather up the Durasteel Scrap and Durasteel Ingots, using powerful electrical blasts to melt down the lot into a useful collection of molten metal, then using electrical power to force the metal liquid up into the shape that he desires for it to form, a small gathering of metal fusing itself together to create the small body of a pet-sized animal. Wires of his quickly move and pierce through one end of the body, quickly clearing out the inside of it in order to properly make sure there's room inside the body, forcing it to expand a little larger and soon creating a stable hollow form, rapidly cooling down the body with a quick snowball boop. Somehow, this does not use up any of the snowballs in the inventory.

Once the body of the creation is ready for objects to be inserted and arranged, he grins faintly as the wires of his move around once more, forcing the body open to make room for the objects he plans on putting inside. Gradually, he manages to squeeze in the Generator from the floating platform from earlier, fastening it tightly in place and making sure it's nice and secure inside the body, then beginning to gather up the Wire Bits from the inventory. Carefully and slowly, he begins to fill the body up with the wire bits using his own body as a reference for how the creation's internals should work, arranging a mechanical version of the musculature of an entire creature just by carefully arranging wire bits, fusing them together to create a "nervous system" and "muscular system" for the creation to use. He quickly scrounges a bit more combined Durasteel up in order to form the head of the creation, picking up the Circuit Boards and packing them into a tough skull made of Durasteel plating, more wire bits forming the surroundings of the skull and yet more thin Durasteel Plating forming armor-like skin. Gradually, he manages to place the head onto the body, wires quickly moving to spray electrical sparks to fuse the two separate pieces of his creation together, effectively welding the head on tightly. Then, he gets an idea.

His wires dash back into the inventory, grabbing out the GLITCH SLIME GUN from god knows where and brushing the cobwebs off quickly, then he glances at his creation once more. Soon, he begins to carefully take the Slime Gun and move it into his creation, securing it firmly inside the body. The slime gun now serves the purpose of generating an infinite source of Glitch Gel to power the generator, and in turn means that his creation will be effectively self-sustaining, as well as able to use a special ability. His wires move with precision and speed, arranging it so that if his creation were to squeeze the right sections of its own body, it would release a spray of glitch gel out from its mouth, covering a target in the gel. The Operative smirks faintly at the thought of something being sprayed and ignited... Soon, he focuses again. After all, every detail needs to be perfect, without exception.

Refocusing, he quickly packs in some more wires into the body of the creation, making sure there's plenty of available power sparking throughout the creation, then he decides to grab a few items from Basicitemlandia, fixing a Crossbow to the back of the creation and a sharp array of extendable/retractable claws made of the tips of Sabers to the creation's toes. Almost satisfied with the outward appearance of his creation, a few wires of his move to seal up the gaps with some more goddamn Durasteel, welding it on tightly and securing the creation's body together. Then, he decides to activate the creation, summoning up the full power of his electricity and channeling it into his creation, kick-starting the generator and providing power to the body. Slowly, as the electricity runs through his creation, and it begins to open its eyes and blink a few times, he smiles faintly.

"Here we go. I'll let Chloe decide on what your name should be."

The creation responds by meowing up at him, having already been programmed earlier.


ROBOT CAT completed. Materials used - FLOATING PLATFORM (x1), WIRE BITS (unknown), CIRCUIT BOARDS (unknown), DURASTEEL INGOTS (unknown), GLITCH SLIME GUN (x1)

Abilities the Robot Cat possesses: Claws are made from Rapiers, allowing the Robot Cat to perform a lunge-like attack called Leap. Glitch Slime Gun and specialized channels allow the Robot Cat to project a spray of Glitch Gel out from its mouth, coating 3 tiles in any cardinal direction in a spray of glitchy and flammable substance, causing the target to take additional damage from all sources and a LOT of damage from Fire-type sources.

Siria hasn't done anything in a while. That's about to change.

She takes off the Scanner MK2 and disassembles it. First of all, she grabs around 10 Circuit Boards and just kind of arranges them around the helmet, before wiring them in to increase the scanner's computing power. Next, she fixes up some of the sensors, adding glass focusing lenses. Then, she kind of adds a few other lenses around the scanner's visor, tinting the glass red using Redstone and improving the lenses' sight. This uses up around five Glass Shards in total, as well as 10 Redstone Dust. The most important sensors receive diamond lenses crafted by carefully cutting down a single Diamond. She grabs two Durasteel Ingots and five Titanium Ingots and carefully melts them down, alloying them together to produce a superstrong, incredibly light material that she then crafts a shell for the recreated Scanner for.

She then hooks up to the Scanner's innards directly and begins to reprogram it. First of all, the casting assistant program goes. INT boosts are no longer needed here. Instead, the weak-point highlighting program is upgraded using the new processing power of the added Circuit Boards, enabling consistent hitting of weak points and granting a flat-out boost of +1 damage, instead of the inconsistent weakpoint targeting that it had before. Next up, a program is added to highlight points of specific weakness that could be hit by a sufficiently aimed shot, adding +1 Crit Chance.

Siria grins, and places the Scanner MK3 on her head. Strangely, it looks almost like Widowmaker's visor... Wow. I don't even play that game and here I've got a character copying from it.
New stats: +1 DMG, +1 Crit Chance. Buff or nerf as needed.

I also spend the 6 Skill Points Siria has to bring her up to a respectable 12 STR in total.

+1 AGI, +1 STR, +1 to Summon Damage, 4 Actions if no weapon is wielded, summons a Mechanical Skeleton when the user enters a battle.

He gives it to Roxxanne.

He then equips the Mage's Robe given to him by Roxxanne, and the Binding Hatstack by Toast. Alt. Erm, someone?

<TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND NINETY-SIX>
Roxxanne explains Xavier's circumstances to Chloe.

ga: I really hope it was painless...
ga: But that's not a small prank for me! For me, that's pretty freaking huge!

You then offer to show her... her. She accepts, and you telekinesis Xavier over to her, at the MW Anti. Chloe starts to snicker upon seeing Xavier's new form...

ga: Hehehe...
ga: You're so cuuuuuteeee~

Chloe begins to laugh. Mari, unamused, attempts to pop Chloe in the nose, but misses. Her laughter ceases as she addresses your questions.

ga: I'd rather him stay here.
ga: As you said, she is my broth- sister.
ga: I think it'd be safer for him inside the Mindscape. Mainly because he's been a huge gorilla and I don't think leaving the mindscape would stop him from being a gorilla.
ga: Somebody would probably hurt him out there. He'd also probably get jailed, murdered, shunned...
ga: He also wouldn't be much without his machines, and I doubt anyone would willingly give him things to work with.

Mari is fuming. She decides to vent her anger by using Gravity Slam on her, launching her back some distance. She tumbles across the ground for a few meters, taking (8-2) damage. She walks back over, unfazed.

ga: You're not helping your case, you know.
ut: OH COME ON.
ut: YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WANT TO LEAVE THIS PLACE.
ut: AND YOU'RE SERIOUSLY GOING TO KEEP ME HERE!?
ga: Yep. Even though you pose a threat to me, and everyone else here, I think it'd be safer for you, and those outside of the Mindscape.
ga: Besides, being a morality core isn't that bad! Chaos won't lay too many fingers on you, Zetta won't gut you due to you being important...
ut: Know what's even worse than being a core?
ga: What?
ut: Being trapped in here. With you.
ga: ...

Chloe starts yelling in no particular direction.

ga: Chaos! Can you take him into custody if he becomes a core?
cc: yeah; i was gonna do (t)ha(t) anyway
cc: he'd probably kill himself (t)o spi(t)e + hur(t) me
cc: so i'd make sure he ©ouldn'(t).
cc: now hush roxxy has some(t)hing (t)o say.

You then mention that Xavier muuuust attend the Chirstmas party.

ut: Joy. Looks like I'm going to a gorilla-y party, then.
ut: I could be productive, but no- I need to attend some worthless celebration. I bet the one present I'll get, if I get any, will spite me somehow.
ut: Whatever.

Xavier stays put, as you need to babysit him to ensure that he doesn't do anything stupid. You then talk out loud to yourself, about wanting to cuddle with a puppy or something like that. Ette walks over to you, and gives you a quick hug, before wandering off to who-knows-where at the MW Anti. Because you're never done, you then proceed to rework your stat line, AND craft the Medal of True Heroism! This uses 5 Cinder Logs, 5 Hollowed Logs, 5 Gold Ingots, 3 Hollowed Bars, 2 Diamonds, 1 Mythril Ingot (free), 1 Life Bottle (1 gold), 1 set of Temmie Ears, 1 Temmie Flake, 1 Temmie Tea, 1 Magical Cardboard, 1 Mystical Artifact, and 2 hours of your ownlife. Roxxanne's lifespan shortens by two hours. The sheer majesty of the Tem summoned is too good to give you fire-elemental damage. Tem Hero added to the bestiary! You should probably look at it.

Battlefury then +8's his MP, and shuffles his spells. He also builds a statue of YV in the inventory with 1000 cobble, for whatever reason. Teag then scraps the Broken Railgun, Engine, and Thrusters, obtaining 70 Iron, 50 Titanium, and 30 Durasteel, 80 Wire Bits, and 5 Incendiary Bits. You then fail to request the entire spreadsheet in the Walkthrough. HealerX then increases some of his stats, and equips the Ammonomicon. Insert then then punched in the face before he can destroy the MP orbs, cancelling his action. You doubt getting MOAR REGEN is that simple... besides, you've already hit the MP Regen cap.

Toast +1's her STR, then presses the remainder of the buttons on the Nightmarron. You proceed to discover that the weapon has a semi-automatic firing mode, firing rounds with much less recoil! It also has a mode that locks it into the ground, which allows for easier aiming and a way to ignore the massive recoil of the weapon! Now knowing exactly what the weapon does, Marron proceeds to have an identity crisis.

tc: ...I can't believe it.
tc: The Nightmarron is literally just a modified version of the Crescent Rose.
tc: ...am I a bad expy of Ruby? I better not be.
tc: If I am, I LOOK NOTHING LIKE HER. I have freaking pink hair, I'm waaay shorter, flatter, less agile, and lack the ability to gorillaing dissolve myself into rose petals.
tc: Why couldn't I be an overpowered gorillay OC!?

Marron decides to walk over to her house and maybe put her anger to work in making presents. She finishes one up in a flash, and leaves it at the tree. She seems proud of her work, giggling to herself as she sets it at the tree. Jon then decides to swap out for the Over Easy and the Toxic Scanner... which Roxxanne hasn't switched off of. Oops. You then head to the park, and set up the Radio set. Chaos then drops a stack of christmas records on you, which all shatter upon impact with your skull. This deals (5) damage to you.

The Operative then builds a robotic kitty! This uses the Floating Platform, 30 Wire Bits, 7 Circuit Boards, 6 Durasteel Ingots, and the Glitch Slime Gun. Chloe would almost certainly love it. I recall that you had an interest in making the stats, so I'll leave you to that. Unless you want me to do it. Then I'll go and do that. Siria suddenly comes back, and goes off to make the Scanner MK3, with 10 Circuit Boards, 5 Glass Shards, 10 Redstone Dust, 2 Durasteel Ingots, and 5 Titanium Ingots.

The Author then attempts to create the Prime Mechanical Helm, but you'll need to put in some effort, sorry. No exceptions. You do equip the Armored Mage Robes, and the Binding Hatstack. Chloe then +2's her SPC, and +1's her AGI. She also readies the Temmie Syrup Helmet; it's a bit weird looking, so she's reserving it solely for combat.

That's it! There's no battles at the moment, so...

Teag constructs a bed out of a bit of Iron and Silkweed and sleeps in it, as he hasn't slept at all since entering the Mindscape and is feeling really drowsy.
Also because I have nothing better to do.

DarkSide literally JUST respawned from his previous death. He looks as if he's seen a ghost.
"Ugh. That wasn't fun on my end, respawning from that. Whatever. Seems like I missed a turn, not that there's anything left to do for me, anyway."
He heads to the Falls of Reflection.
"May as well do some fishing for a bit. In Lava. Maybe I'll get an Obsidian Swordfish or something."
And thus, after pulling out a Hotline Fishing Hook and some bait from literally nowhere, he begins fishing in the Lava while he waits for the Christmas Party to start or whenever something else decides to happen.

Roxxanne switches to the Medal of True Heroism and, to keep time short, shove Jon the Toxic Scanner that he wanted.

Roxxanne gleefully goes into cute girl mode upon getting huggled. "Aaaaay! Ette is the nicest nice everrrrrrrr! Heart!"

Roxxanne then returns to responding to Gladius "I... Bluh. We'll take it into account. I'm... I'm not sure you have entirely convinced me of your preferred course of action being proper. If anything, I think that the idea is now in my head that she'll attempt to commit suicide as the Morality Core before Chaos could custody her, or in other words, the reverse course of action. I mean. Nothing stopping her from casting her own spell on herself before chaos can detain her, and do you really think she'll be happy as she is?... I'm not sure if letting her out will make it any better, but to be frank, if she isn't the core, in here is probably for the worse, so it's down to whether or not we think that coring Mari is worth it over coring Glitch Temmie, the other key operator. I'm not sure if Lyra will change her back-or can if Chaos keeps Mari in custody to prevent her suicide. I have a feeling that coring Mari can't end well... But that's me. I'm the leaderperson and I need to lead, by talking with everyone else. I'm gonna house a quick vote from the rest of us-what you want will be taken into account, don't worry! It's just that, given the situation, we... We really need to decide as a whole unit."

Roxxanne quickly and immediately converses with the rest of the Descencants in private on the matter. Consensus agrees (via Discord) that the vote to who should be the Morality Core is overwhelmingly Glitch Temmie.

"OK, so, I'm back with the vote. Ignoring my own - which would be Glitch Temmie - the overwhelming majority is that Glitch Temmie should be the Core. Counting your vote, that's 6-2 in favor of coring Glitch Temmie. Mari, it looks like you are almost certainly going to be leaving with us. Almost... There's one condition. I'm not sure you'll even have a chance of surviving if you don't take it. Do you want to do good? You want to be famous? You want to do the kind of thing that puts your name down in history? Do you want to advance humankind and the world into a brighter, better tomorrow? You want to be recognized for your work? Good. Your work will be most appreciated as a Descendant." Roxxanne says, holding up her hand to prevent anyone from speaking out just yet. "By nature, whether or not you'll buy it, we're reality warping badasses with infinite creative potential, invulnerable in nine cases out of ten, and when that fails, capable of self-Resurrection anyways. The times we stay dead are nil. You could near-literally do anything, or almost anything. You could create the most insane weapons you ever saw out of any RPG and improve upon them to the point wherein you could cleave a planet in two by pointing. You'd be capable of feats of AI creation beyond your wildest dreams like it was Tuesday. You'd casually create enough God Hands to make a skyscraper out of them without even thinking, perhaps even gain the insights needed to perfect your little project, and then ascend yourself as, like, I'unno, a goddess of tech for kicks. Or a god, I guess, as you could un-genderbend yourself without Lyra's assistance too. Or maybe you like it that way? Heehee! Maybe you'll swing around, colon three! Roxxanne continues to hold her hand up, and now her Temmie self is holding it up too and Ayaze the doll is using sound manipulation powers to keep everyone from speaking out. There is a catch to all of that power though-Descendants are inherently team players, so you can't backstab us easily. You must work with us. You are physically incapable of going it alone. The other big thing is that you're not a Descendant if you do not fight godmodders. At this point, only very strong godmodders remain, and it takes months to years to finish a war through to completion-more than enough time to set your name in stone forever. Godmodders are, if it helps, very rarely good people. Like, seriously. They are arrogant douchebags with pride issues the size of a planet, and if you think you're prideful in what you do, you are the most humble thing on the planet compared to even one of those guys. The few people who join up with him will get betrayed, and he'll betray you by basically hitting the big undo button on all of your progress to everything ever and deleting Ire. I'm... Not sure if you realize, but you recall what happened when you first found Sleuth.exe? That was a Godmodder's fault. I have proof of the matter in this guide made by... Uh, Mr. RNG. You'll know who I'm talking about, but the essence of it is, godmodders can screw you up and they will do so." Roxxanne proceeds to hand Xavier the DTG Guidebook, specifically the pages of note. "In other words; you'd have to consistently be pooling a majority of your efforts into killing a nigh-invincible jerkbag and keeping everything you'd usually do a side-project, and you'd be under our constant watch until the threat of the godmodders is OVER. If you can't do that... Well. I can't guarantee you'll stay alive for minutes out there. It's... I... I can't even begin to expound upon how dangerous it gets out there. It's like the world is trying to kill anything and everything it can. And if not that, then worse. Seriously."

"I can fully understand if you don't want to go, if it means you'll never be rid of any of us truly. But... It's either that, or you don't get to leave here at all, and you're now stuck with Chloe forever. We're you're one ticket out of here. Remember that. You can't leave without us wanting to let you go, and if you can't agree to one simple condition-that you will, in essence, continue our lovely partnership outside-we can't let you go."

Roxxanne proceeds to hold out her hand, in a manner eerily reminiscient of Bill Cipher, fiery hand and all-though her fires are emerald. How she's doing that is... Probably a daemon thing. "The deal, I have explained well. You betray the deal, and the power of the Deal itself shall teleport you back right into Chloe's arms, like you never escaped to begin with, until I consider your end of the bargain done; a whole Godmodding war seen to a successful sendoff with our side as the winning side. The deal, in turn, prevents me from denying you passage out of here. I'm giving you one hell of a bargain, really. You're basically getting off scot free from crimes that would have landed you in a thousand jails in a thousand different countries, after all you've done. Chaos is nulling our powers here... Even if you somehow became a Descendant just now, you won't be able to use it. But... Let's face facts. You know you want to. This does nothing but open doors for you. Really, I'd suspect you'd have to do it anyways-do the Descendanty thing-to survive seconds out there. But I'm rambling now. I hate it when I do that. Deal?"

Roxxanne is looking like Mephistopholes, horns and all, and Mari is looking like Faust right about now. Might just be the setting, though. Roxxanne really isn't lying. Then, the powers of no fourth wall alert Roxxanne that she suddenly has horns. "I have horns?" Roxxanne takes out a mirror and confirms this. "Ohmygosh they're cute little red nubs on my forehead, heart!" Roxxanne says, appreciating that indeed, for right now they actually are just red nubs with no point.

----TEMMIES----

Meanwhile, Temmie!Roxxanne runs off with the Temmie Hero to show Glitch Temmie.

"I did it! I brought the Temmie Hero Back! Tem is amazameing, colon three!" Roxxanne says. Cue a heartfelt reunion scene or something, I dunno. Happiness was had.

"Also, are you seriously OK with becoming a core? Uh, we're running out of time, we managed to get the Core out of Flumpty, it's starting to get fritzy, and unless you yourself object, the majority vote among us is saying that, yeah, you're the next Morality Core." Roxxanne says.

Roxxanne immediately injects and infuses Glitch Temmie with the Moralsphere if tem is in the affirmative. If not, Roxxanne withholds for the reason.

"Also, I have a donation, for the Temmie Village. Gonna just run over there and deliver it right now!" Roxxanne states. She proceeds to blitz over to the other side of the map. "h0i, workers! I have a delivery for you, colon three!" Roxxanne states. She proceeds to deliver all the Cobblestone that the group possesses (we can mine more later), as well as 100 Iron, 59 Titanium, 9 Durasteel, 1 Hallowed Bar (it's a metal!), and all 250 Wire Bits. ALL 250, Immediately. @sp33d0n, I suggest using Circuitry Boards as a substitute for Wire Bits, as those are basically 3 wire bits in 1 package. Like, 3 or 4 will do you right.

----CRAFTS: Magitek Armband----

Roxxanne is an impatient person who is impatient, but Christmas is an important holiday and she'll respect it. Temmie!Roxxanne returns to watch over Mari, while Roxxanne proceeds to run off. First, she purchases another Wand for 2 gold. She proceeds to imprint several runes of fireproofing upon it so it won't burn up, followed by melting down a single ingot of iron (with a regular forge for once) into liquid, then pouring it into an appropriate thin casing for the wand. The end result is a simple metal magic stick that honestly hasn't improved upon anything of the Wand whatsoever. As Roxxanne just donated all the Wire bits to the Temmies, she proceeds to install in a few circuitry boards onto the metal rod itself. She then grinds up a few Mana Orbs (the trinket) that they have in endless supply, and simply infuses the grounded-up mana orb into the wire bits built into the circuitry boards, causing the circuitry boards to basically run on magic, a requirement. Roxxanne proceeds to plug in Xavier's USB onto a small little spare computer she happened to have (let's be real, how else would she know about it) and assuming anything fishy doesn't come up as a result, Roxxanne uses it as a basic guide for programming, and then hardwires in a few flags for IFF. If that doesn't make sense: Roxxanne basically now has the metal wand be forced to recognize the Descendants and their given allies, who all conveniently manage to communicate with some reasonably consistent tech hardware across all of them, as friendlies. A prevenative measure. The wand can't be used against Roxxanne and company very easily; it would have to be directly modified, instead of just hacked. This would be fairly easy for the persons he plans to give this to in the end, if Roxxanne wasn't using a wand. You see, in order to make sure this works and the wand registers, Roxxanne has to wire up the circuitry board's inner workings in the shape of runes. Magic and Tech don't work together that easily-when they do, they're powerhouses, but it takes a lot of middle-management, like runewiring, to get the job done and everything lined up perfectly. As such, in order to screw this up, it would have to be rewired from the ground up. This isn't counting the fact that Roxxanne also has to rewire in a command sequence for an AI in a similar manner due to how the AI

You can kind of tell who she's going to eventually give this to. Roxxanne proceeds to use the rest of the Iron she hasn't already to create a small gauntlet, setting the wand in there and creating a small interface to control a small drone, using a large shard of glass to make the interface panel. It's touch-sensitive even. After flicking it on to ensure that the basic structure works, Roxxanne sets aside the Magitek Armband for now. It's not finished, but it will be soon.

Referring back to Xavier's USB on computational stuff and his robotics, Roxxanne looks up the schematics for an X-Drone. Failing that, she reads up on the Beastiary the general size and abilities-the Beastiary, in-universe, has a lot of details on enemies that the basic statblock we have just doesn't show off. She proceeds to take in 5 Titanium, 20 more Iron, 1 Floating Platform, 30 units of Redstone (to make up for the lack of Wire Bits) and 5 more Circuitry Boards. To be frank, following Xavier's own directions on how to build the X-Drone shouldn't be a completely stupid thing, unless of course Xavier lied about what was on the USB (which Roxxanne should have figured out), but Roxxanne doesn't want to entirely rely upon Xavier's schematics either way. Roxxanne also takes out the party's singular Potion and the Mark of Y'Shaarj card for the purposes of actually having the thing be useful.

To begin with, Roxxanne hammers out the rough frame, taking the Floating Platform as well as the Titanium for it (I presume the Floating Platform, composed of Durasteel, is probably good enough on its own). A full-on floating platform is probably bigger than a single drone, but this just means the drone can have more HP, right? In any case, Roxxanne just has to check the Beastiary for the appropriate sizes/size ratio, which conveniently lists a lot of things in-universe it doesn't list out-of-universe, like sizes and such, allowing her to build up an approximate. This model includes a small spritzer type thing that will spray out the buff/potion stuff, a few fans as backup stabilizers in case the primary floating platform doesn't cover, the basis of the floating platform itself, and inside, a place to house the generator, which will happily empower all of the stuff in the machinery, taking care of things. Roxxanne hasn't used up all of it-she'll come back later for a few other thin internal things, but basically that's it to begin with.

Roxxanne then builds the reasonably cheap dumb AI, using Xavier's USB as a basis for the information if the need arises, and otherwise going off of information already compiled by the Descendants. Roxxanne herself is no computer person and is basically relying on instructions, but that's not stopping her! The AI is basic enough, to be frank. Follow orders, use heals when HP is low, use buffs to power people up, stay out of the line of fire, and ping weak enemies. Otherwise it pretty much relies upon a remote OS-which will be the tech armband with a wand in it that Roxxanne made earlier. Roxxanne makes sure to grind up more Mana orbs into the circuitry like she did before so that they'll respond to the Magitek Armband. Satisfied at this, Roxxanne sets it aside for now.

From the 30 Units of Redstone, Roxxanne sits down and proceeds to bunch up some of the dust together to create passable redstone wiring, before bunching it up into small insulated bendy tubes, creating a bit of Redstone Wire. She doens't work with it immediately, though. Roxxanne proceeds to create a small tank, making a few runes of duplication across it. The runes of duplication basically duplicate a substance as long as mana is injected into it-basically meaning that with some manipulation points, the drone can replenish its stock of magical liquid. Roxxanne proceeds to filter in the Potion into this tank, making sure a tube opens and closes to allow the drone to spray a healing fluid. With this done, Roxxanne wires it up to the main AI with a few of the Redstone Wires. Roxxanne then proceeds to create another small tank, empty for now, and funnels in some of the empowering enhancements from the Mark of Y'Shaarj card, turning it into Magical Cardboard. She proceeds to create various other runes in this smaller side tank. The purpose of this tank is for some of the potion to flow in and get enhanced by the Mark of Y'Shaarj buff, allowing it to filter out some power from it. Ultimately, the value would probably be lesser, but Roxxanne has no control over that-the system doesn't dump all the potion at once. So that's the buffing and healing systems covered. Roxxanne wires it all up with the Redstone Wires.

With that done comes one of the last parts-locomotion is covered by the Floating Platform and AI, while the healing and buffing stuff is already in. Now comes the token attack that X-Drones do in fact possess, and with it the sight. Roxxanne takes two glass shards and manipulates them into the appropriate shapes for lenses. One lens is just hooked into the AI, giving it sight and such, and does not really require further explamation. The other lens, however, isn't meant for that. Roxxanne proceeds to fit it into a small metal tube (again created with the leftover metals from building the base drone), with the lens at one end and a bit of wiring at the other, connecting this device to the AI for combat use. At the part where the metal is connected, Roxxanne does some Runewiring on the one side and some regular runemaking on the other side to create a Beam Rune, which is basically a rune that fires a beam. This isn't the standard superpowerful mage beam the party is used to, however-basically just a small token lasershot, and not even that on its own. Roxxanne then proceeds to fit a diamond over this. Yes, a whole diamond, after first cutting the gem into an appropriate prismatic shape to focus the light and energy of the Beam Rune into a single, finer point for greater damage and accuracy. The end result isn't powerful, but it's not really supposed to be there for any purpose other than strategic pickoffs of weakened enemies. Fortunately, the weak construction also means it doesn't really pull from the generator too much. Roxxanne installs it just beneath the drone's single eye.

With that, the X-Drone, modified of course, is basically complete. It really isn't an X-Drone, though, as it's got different abilities, so Roxxanne instead calls it a Modified X-Drone, or an MX-Drone. The M, conveniently, could also stand for Mari. Hue.

Roxxanne proceeds to do some last-minute wiring to the Magitek Armband and the MX-Drone, linking the two together. Roxxanne then proceeds to copy the data and AI into the Magitek Armband's systems, allowing for a loose schematic of the MX drone and how to properly recreate it in the case of destruction. Which would be hard. Roxxanne has been rather clever. The Link she's instilled has allowed the MX-Drone to basically be completely reconstructed with magical power from scratch, given enough Manipulation Points.

With that done, Roxxanne proceeds to take out some Gift Wrap (red with bright pink hearts) and a Ribbon, labeling it "From Roxxanne, To Mari. :3," and then writing a small Christmas Note.

"Mari Elem,

To be honest, I'm not sure if you'll appreciate this or not. You get to beam enemies again and you won't have to worry about your drone getting in the way due to in-built AoE ignorance. You can, you know, also summon the Drone . To be frank, while I can't really trust you enough to give you something as strong as a God Hand again that fast, I think this small little drone is a start. I didn't quite want to steal your thunder, so I excluded Augment: Move for the ability to dispense healing power, among a few other tweaks. You can also use the thingy to regenerate it, though that's rather exhausting to do.

I want to trust you. I want to think you'll get over everything here and get on with life. I'm not sure I can dissuade you from your Ire project - that's your little life mission, I suppose - but I can try to make you at least be treated like a human being, despite all you've done. You understand that I'm kind of hoping you realize why what you did was unacceptable, but I figured the best chance of that was out of here, realizing exactly what being a Descendant means.

Roxxanne Orochi Rembrandt."

She then sticks the note in the package, and places the package under the Christmas Tree. Roxxanne wrapped it in such a way that it looks like a large cubical present.


Expended: 1 Wand, 1 Potion, 6 Circuitry Boards, 1 Iron Ingot, 5 Titanium Ingots, 1 Floating Platform, 1 Diamond, 30 Redstone, 3 Glass Shards, 1 Mark of Y'Shaarj card.

Magitek Armband Magic or Technology, you ask? :both:
Effect: Upgrade for Mari. +1 Skillslot, almost certainly for beam. Prevents Friendly Fire on AoE spells (duh). Replaces Spikeball with Call MX-Drone.

MX Drone abilities: (some raw stats can be reconfigured to balancing needs, but most stats based upon the base X-Drone.)
Basic attack: 6-7, 3, 2. (So basically the same as the X-Drone minus one retreat but plus one DMG.)
WEAK TO: Lightning (100%). RESIST: Air, Psychic (100%).
Restorative Spray: Heal target for 9-10 HP. Range 3. X MP cost.
Augment Battle: Grants +2 DMG and +1 AC to the target, per turn. Drains X MP per turn. Range 3. No LoS needed.
Passive: Robotic. Immune to Burn and Poison.

----CRAFTS: ENERGY PONCHO----

Roxxanne proceeds to use ultimate stealth skills to somehow sneak up on Marron and investigate her clothing. Statistically speaking, it's lame. A tiny upgrade to a basic Cloak of Concealment. It's OK looking though, but Roxxanne could do better. A bit.

She could also do with removing the Ayaze Doll. Really, Ayaze was at this point Roxxanne wearing Ayaze's skin. It was creepy and Roxxanne was already seeing double. If the need persisted, the process she used also allowed Roxxanne to take Ayaze's form, so she could copy her anyways. That, and having *all of those dolls around* was a bit of a pain.

Roxxanne takes out 40 units of Redstone, as well as several of the infinite Cloaks of Concealment that we already have, and a simple dagger. Roxxanne proceeds to casually off the totally willing Ayaze, blood splattering everywhere, and Roxxanne stores all of it in a cup, as well as the fresh corpse. The Arrow-Kun, similarly afflicted as Ayaze, is similarly executed, though Roxxanne collects only a bit of life force from it being a ghost.

With the first and most bloody business out of the way, Roxxanne proceeds to take a Black Cloak of Concealment. It was only 5% dodge cheaper than Marron's own cloak, and otherwise totally alike. Roxxanne had a pretty good idea on how to use this, though. Roxxanne take's Ayaze's Blood-still containing her life essence-and traces several runes onto the inside of the Cloak with it, most representing energy, of life, the mindscape, and general movement. All pretty good. Roxxanne proceeds to then take the units of Redstone-a powder-like substance known for its high energy and wiring potential-and pastes them over the blood. The result makes the runes glow a soft red color, and energizes the whole thing, giving its wielder an exccess of energy. Not like 'crazy hyper girl' energy, but a regenerative aura.

With that, Roxxanne realizes something about cloaks. Mysterious and lighter than most of the stuff people wear around here? Sure, but the amount of fabric kind of drags along and leaves it less agile than, say, a poncho. Marron wears a skirt and a shirt already, so why not a smaller, more practical poncho? Roxxanne proceeds to cut off most of the dragging bits of the cloak, leaving only enough to cover the upper body, and stitches in some of the Yarn onto the bottom fringe where Roxxanne cut out, allowing it to look kind of cuter. She then does likewise towards the top and at places on the inside, making it fluffier and warmer too, while still not inhibiting movement.

Roxxanne proceeds to get more Gift Wrap and such, and label it "From Roxxanne To Marron. :3," before writing another note.

"Marron,

I heard you wondering about being a dumb Expy of that Ruby person. I don't watch that show but I'm fairly sure that Chaos probably made you dress like her, so I suppose dressing up differently may help? In any case, a long cloak is kind of extra weight. Good for weather, I suppose, but this could be cool too. It's got some energy runes on it so you restore some of your vitality and energy in battle. The Redstone was surprisingly useful for this regard, and is the reason why the inside looks a bit red in places. Don't worry, wash friendly.

I'm not sure what you're going to do once you get out of here. You don't really have any place to stay, no house or place like that, and you're not exactly coming out to a world any more friendly than this one. I would ask you to come along for my ride, but I think my ride is probably not going to be the kind of ride you want to go with. I understand we haven't exactly gotten off to the right kind of start but I hope that this helps make it better.

-Roxxanne Orochi Rembrandt.

P.S. to Ette: You are an arodiboo fwuffawey and a very nice. :3"

She then puts it into the package and puts it under the Christmas Tree. It is a box, wide and long but not very tall.

Expended: Ayaze, Arrow Kun, 40 Redstone, 1 Yarn Ball. Yes, I sacrificed my two summons from AoS, one of which was an Elite. That should make up for the sparsity of high-end upgrade equipment.

Energy Poncho You will never need caffine again.
Effect: +1 AGI, +10% Dodge, +1 MP and HP Regen. Basically an upgrade to Marron's Cloak, I suppose.

----NEW SPECIAL----

As she just killed off her two previous Aura of Smooth-induced Allies, Roxxanne figures it's time for a less intensive special. Roxxanne figures that using her Blood Magic powers to make a dude's armor erupt and thus weakening their defenses is good enough.

Bloody Eruption
Enemy is inflicted with Armorbreak-3 for 3 turns. Armorbreak reduces AC by the value listed.
SP needed: 100. SP gain method: Damage Dealt.

----STATUE----

After all of the above, the Roxxannes re-meet at the Durasteel Statue. "Chaos! Look here, dog. You've given us nothing but trouble and tried to kill us! What have we done in response to an action that would typically demand vengance? We've liberated your morality core from Flumpty, helped you smack up your butterfly when it acted up like a complete douche by the machinations of SOUL, murdered every WARE we've come across and kept those dudes in check, murdered that dangerous thingy that was literally your inane fear of water personified, AND are almost positively going to spare Chairitomb by weakness exploitation and then venture into the Phantasm to keep the Mental WARES from exploding your head. We even went out of our way to clean up those dangerous things in the Foe and Bonus rush orbs as we found them- would you really want another godmodder's creation running around in your Mindscape, 'editing' you to do who-knows-what? Or Memory Xi and his stupid overly-lethal water? Seriously! You've seen enough of us to realize that we're not here to harm you, and if we're given the option too, surprisingly we won't act like complete sociopaths!" Roxxanne shouts at the sky.

"We've done more for your own head than you ever have! But we won't let you do what you think you want to do! That stupid butterfly is the personification of your desires to have everything be destroyed! You hate that butterfly, don't you! But even now you let it pull your strings! I won't have it! I'll tell that butterfly to come down here so I can punch its eye out if it keeps up being a massive jerk! But as long as you let it control you, we can't let you win! We can't let this continue! And we CAN stop you! We fold to no-one! If we would have stopped already we'd have been stonewalled by, like, anything. The Sleuth! Anarchist's Creation! The Nightmare! Any of those previous monsters! Chairitomb would have killed us if not them! Nothing's stopped us! Nothing's even come close except for someone not even related to this whole debacle to begin with! So, in other words, you cannot stop us! So here is my vow!"

Roxxanne proceeds to get into a fighting stance, and flares up with infinite burning fighting spirit! Clearly, this can only mean one thing: A mad badass boast that's likely not literally true but still awesome. "I am Roxxanne Orochi Rembrandt! She of the name of Yamata-No-Orochi! My body is the body of one thousand mountains, eternal and unyielding! My fists are the fists of one thousand oceans, unceasing and all-obliterating! My eyes are the eyes that have slain the heartless abyss and defined the ends of the earth! My heart is the heart that has endured eternity and burns with endless passion! My mind is the mind that broke the impossible and killed the sky! My soul is the soul that has traveled into the worlds of nothingness, survived all of its most terrifying horrors that would obliterate any other, and came back so strong that in the end the only thing that could ever kill me is myself!" Roxxanne roars. "My potential is infinite! I hold infinity in the palm of my hand and eternity in an hour! I will not be defeated, by you or anyone! I can do anything I set my mind to, and I will do anything and everything possible to achieve my one true goal!" Roxxanne screams. Like holy hell, the entire Mindscape could hear her at this point. "Nothing will stop me! Not you, not the butterfly, not Zetta, not my past, not my shadow self, not Pane, not the Godmodder, not the Terminae, not the Unfathomable, not the Agents, not the Conflict, not the Narrative, nothing, no-one, no way! I shall defeat everything my path to my one true goal! My goal... All I want!! Everything I would ever wish for in this world!! All I want, is a better world, where people don't have to suffer at the hands of things infinitely stronger than themselves!! I have been denied this time and again!! I will not be denied one more time!! All I want is a better world!!!"

...All I want is a world where we don't have to kill each other over nothing."

Chaos probably made that sign thinking that the worst people could do to that sign was vandalize it. It's absolutely massive and made of heavy Durasteel. No way, right? Well, unfortunately for Chaos, he kind of forgot about how Techpiece, mr. MAX STR, casually stole a house, basement included.

Roxxanne, with her new 12 STR and thus presumably enough strength to match and more in her hyped-up state, casually lifts up the entire statue with one hand and safely deposits it in the inventory, wherein it will either be somehow used in crafting or turn into a lot of Durasteel for the Temmies.

"...Come on! Bring on the scale, Chaos!"

HealerX's voice glitches a little bit. He moves towards Xavier.

"Yeah, being a Descendan+ is pre++y grea+. I've reread the main archives of the Godmodding Wars, and +hey're always fun +o wa+ch, and even more fun to participa+e in. +ha+'s if you don'+ ge+ horribly rek+ in +he process."

He rockets to the Durasteel Statue battle right after.

"...yeah, wha+ she said!"

"Oh, and in case I forge+ +o say i+, ow."
