The Operative, after the battle has concluded, takes a moment for a breath or two. Then, he turns to Chloe with a faint grin.

"That was pretty fun. And we've got plenty of food if needed now."

Then, he remembers the other battle. The one that he really should have been part of a lot earlier. But on the other hand, who knows what would have happened if he were in to battles at once? A ware entity could've sabotaged the Fishron fight... He shoves that thought out of his mind for the time being, focusing on what Chloe just said instead.

"I could probably do with a fixup, all things considered. Just give me a moment."

He proceeds to run behind a tree. The sound of something probably best not seen can be heard for a moment. After the sound ceases, he walks out from the tree again, carrying what appears to be a box made out of the metal plates he's become kind of associated with a little maybe.

"Just had to get something out of my system that wouldn't have been pleasant if it remained in there. Don't throw the box away, though. I might still need those for... something, I'm not sure. Honestly, I should've gotten rid of the contents a long time back. I'll think about it."

After that, he's seemingly ready for a bit of a fix-up. Cue a bit of time screwery so that he can be here, but also in the battle in... zone 5 I guess?

Actions: If G3 Vein is still alive after everyone else beat the crap out of it, Operative spawns into the Shattered fight at E8, walks up to G6, then goes "YUU JIN WURGEN TOLKIEN WER BLERGH" and fires a Shock bolt into the G3 Vein. Somehow, it resembles a giant Durgen floating through the air. After that, he backs off to H7.

If G3 Vein is dead, then he still spawns at E8, but runs off to L5 and slashes the Railgun Turret instead, retreating to J4 a moment later. He also eyes the Deleted warily...

Ire, ignore this. This is also still in progress, as I don't have enough time to do it right now.
Auth: Major Threat. Has a lot of buffs and can both heal and damage. Keeping him alive is a good priority. @Sp33d0n, for pity's sake, please don't sacrifice yourself for Confession. It's not helpful. At all
Roxanne: 75% dodge chance. Double action, counterhappy, and enchanted. Major Threat. Keeping her alive is second to Auth. @Tazz, I think you know what you're doing better than I do
Healerbot: Not as much in danger as Auth, but still in some danger from being a healer. Special is ready. Third Priority. @whoeverthispersonis, uh, heal things I guess?
Emerald: Spams Splash damage, decent DPS, and buffs himself randomly by killing things. Not sure about priority. @me. Keep murdering things
Toast: Tank. Decent Threat. Has a version of auto revive, and Special is currently active. 4th priority. @TFToast, try to walk in the way of things that will murder Auth, if possible. You have the most HP. On second thought, just do whatever. You're smart
Soup: deals lots of damage. Probably somewhere on the list. I'd say 5th priority. Go for the veins if you can, but only if you can guarantee a kill
Jondanger: Special Ready. Other than that, not really sure. Not really sure what to tell you two what to do
Chlorin: Bomb. DPS. Special Ready
Siria: Special Ready. Really needs to not get hit. That negative 3 AC is not helpful. Kind of a DPS. Not really that much of a threat. Don't use Overclock yet. Emphasis on yet
JOEbob: Just do whatever you want, I don't really know what you do.
Gladius: apparently a target. Not sure why.
@everyone. Do not target a Vein unless you can guarantee ~33 damage. If you can't, just go for the nearest thing you can hit

Current List of candidates for taking Confession:
Zombie Elf. Completely useless after this turn
White Cleric: mostly useless


Originally posted on 2017-05-09 01:52:00

Chlorin moves to H16, switches to Iron Sights, shoots the bottom Vein and then retreats to I15.

<TURN TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTY>
Emerald begins the turn by putting his 3 Skillpoints into INT. The GM is now happy that he put three in. He also edits the name of his special, and gives it some mods... which suddenly become based off of SPC, instead of other stats. JOE then converses with the Chaos Saber again, and tries to get it to help. Again.

cc: i mean
cc: you're far from ©onvin©ing
cc: be©ause you keep dying in one hi(t)
cc: due (t)o keks

JOE braces for another slash. It doesn't come, because Chaos is suddenly busy talking with Roxxanne, due to a speaker on JOE's person.

cc: ooo, free arms
cc: eigh(t) arms
cc: (t)ha(t)'s a pre(t)(t)y si©k haul
cc: surewhyno(t)

Roxxanne successfully recruits a Chaos Saber for the fight. Neato. Alt then invites Marron to go and open a chest. She happily nods, and waits for her to drag over the treasure. She giggles.

tc: Toaster, I could've just walked to the chest, ya know.

She places one hand on the chest, and invites Toast to help her open it at the same time. The lid is then lifted, revealing loot! She lifts out 2 Gold, a piece of Enchanted Seaweed, and a pair of Flower Boots. She also finds 2 Potions in the chest.

tc: Aw. Nothing too great. The money's nice though;
we should go shopping or something!
tc: I bet there's something nice in the Temmie Superstore or something...
tc: If I had say, 4 gold, I could probably buy us something nice. Interested?
tc: No idea what I'll find, though. Could be helpful, could be... something.

While Marron deliberates what she might buy, the Operative talks with Chloe. He accepts the idea of a fix up, gets her a box of metal plates, and waits. Chloe goes to grab her tools from Zone 2, and using utmost caution, she works on replacing broken or otherwise damaged plates, as well as stuffing back in what wires have been knocked out of his body.

ga: Just a moment, and... there!
ga: Good as new! I think.
ga: There's plenty of bits of you that I was a little afraid to touch, but the job should be satisfactory.

She leaves the box alone for now, giving it a quizzical glance as she leaves it on the ground. The Operative has been fully healed, and granted 5 temporary overheal. She does end up consuming 5 Iron Ingots in the process for whatever reason, though.

ga: Stay safe! I know you can respawn, b-but I don't want to see you die!

She gives him a hug before he leaves to join the strife with everyone's favorite twin-illustrated monstrosity. I should also probably add that since nobody found the Coder's Logs, I did a logdump in the log area with the remainder of them, because why not. I'll be fixing up the desert later, maybe.

Why does everyone have to be a gorillaing eldritch abomination; and why is everyone here insane!?

Toast makes a sound that, if represented in text, would probably be something resembling a repetition of the letter 'a', closely followed by the letter 'h'.
...Maybe it's just the Static?

She switches to Nightmarron and moves to F10.

@Crystal/Siria, Please take out Rikoxxy with whatever means you have available to you.

~~

Alt checks the inventory.

Holy eggs we have a ton of money.

She takes out a few pieces of Gold and hands them to Marron, assuming Gold is tangible and not merely a mindscape abstraction.

Woop doop, let's go buy some stuffs.

@Siria: Murder me. Just, now. Make sure you move away from the space marked 7.2 afterwards. Out of Range 4, to be precise.

In case she can't, I'll attempt to force-activate the Scalebrine transition. That's a full action, no harming others.

Back in the safety of Mari's backpack, Temmie!Roxxanne shudders for a moment due to the connection-but remains stable.

"OK, status update on the whole thing in the Phantasm, for ya. Uh, so, Oriko-and potentially some person from nonfiction-really hates me and decided to eat and fuse with me to make some horrible uncontrollable abomination. Also, remember 10? That one? Uh, he's merged with the second-to-last WARE entity as the 'Telltale Heart' and is now threatening your instant death from across the mindscape, all casual-like. We're keeping it busy, though."

"... IN case your wondering how this has mentally compromised me, technically that wasn't me. Or, wasn't just me. I'm not toting the name of Yamata-no-Orochi just because it sounds cool! Eight heads, eight brains. So, basically seven backup consciousness...es? consciousness's? Ugh. Whatever. You get the point. Backup brains."

Temmie!Roxxanne pauses. Then, she pulls out a radio.

"Uh, Auth, just a quickie update here-I'm OK here! Not totally compromised. There's eight of me running around, technically. The other seven, or, uh, six, weren't just running around for this kind of situaiton. Don't flip out! We're dealing with it."

The Temmie Hero will Tembow the hand-which is a bit of an MP waste but it allows for some clever strategy tricks here. Trust me. It'll then Temflakes and end its turn without moving.

@JOE: just so you know, if that suicide was deliberate that was actually insanely smart, as the GRUE would have shot the Broken otherwise, and the Broken is a total asshole, so now we can kill it next turn. So, be happy about that.

@Cyanogynist: Disregard reviving Jon-he's actually still alive due to the Broken's shenanigans from earlier meaning 0 HP is no problem. Kill the Broken instead, please. DONE.

@Zombie Elf: kill the Hand you are immediately adjacent to. Please. DONE.

@Toast: Move up somewhat, so you can get Irrigo'd by Auth. F10 looks to be ideal for this.

@Auth: Move to G6, and use an Inkbolt on Toast. Irrigo and Apocyan. That should fix our Static issues, for now. G6, if that doesn't work. Retreat away from the G column without going into the 7 row, afterwards. Wherever works, as long as it isn't in either of those two places.
-IN CASE SOUP DOESN'T POST: Move to J6 and fire on the O3 vein via Inkbolt. The vein is more important than the statuses this turn, though you can selfapply Gant and Irrigo to remove it and get some buffs out of it. If this doesn't float your boat, MC Soup into doing the action I've given below.

@Chaos Drone: Move to B10, ping hand at B9 out of existence.

@Chaos Saber: This one will be interesting. Use your Arm Cannon on the E10 hand and move to G10, then smack the Glitched when it appears.

@Chaos Ray: E12, and fire on the Laser Sentry.

@Operative @Emerald @NumberSoup: kill the O3 Vein! Operative, use a Flashbang Grenade on the O3 vein as well as a Cinder fruit, then retreat to Q8 (so you can detonate). You'll need to be in range 3 of the vein, as a reminder. Soup, you will move up to N6 and toggle your Buff Aura, just for this turn; if you can, attack the Rail Turret. Emerald, follow up by moving to range 3 of the O3 vein and using your Ornament Blast (which should get the damage boost from +5) AND another Cinder Fruit to kill confirm it. With the 1 AC it currently has, that's 12+3+16+3 at the very least.

@Battlefury: Rez me, please.

The black ghost tries to shove Dimitri away.
"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY DUDE. LET ME HANDLE THIS."
"Calm down! We have a mecha frame ready!'
"BUT ROXXANNE. THAT GUY WITH THE RAINBOW SWORD'S GOING TO KILL US ALL"
"Good luck. I'm behind a pillar of fire. Also, we have much more impor+an+ ma++ers! LIKE +HIS!"
----
Dimitri and Creo slap each other to L16, and Dimitri heals the Broken's face clean-on. The Manacannon fires upon the Hand, and Dimitri stumbles back into J16.
----
"SHOO! GO BO+HER MY CLONE!"
Spectre floats away.
----
Clone Dimitri's just chilling, when he sees Creo flying into him.
"REAL YOU TOLD ME THAT WE HAVE A MECHA FRAME."
"Okay, fine."
--Crafting: Creo's Mech--
INPUT: 1 Mecha Frame, 1 Seat, 1 Broken Stasispod, 1 Floating Platform, 15 Celestial Essence, 5 Circuit Boards, 5 Wire Bits, 19 Redstone, 9 Hardened Glass, 13 Cobalt Bars, 6 Souls, 1 Dome's Arm

PROCESS: Clone Dimitri pulls the Mecha Frame out of the inventory, and starts deconstructing the Broken Stasispod. While that's happening, he extracts the generator from the Floating Platform with a precise application of his railgun's laser. He throws the platform part into a Smeltery for further use.

The Broken Stasispod is scrapped, and so he goes to work on rebuilding it. He uses its metal, some hardened glass, and a seat for the cockpit, and builds circuit boards, wire bits, and redstone into where the control panels would be. He makes sure that everything is connected to the where the Floating Platform's Generator will be.

He places the Generator in the cockpit, shoves around six souls in it, and coats the thing in Celestial Essence. He then makes robot arms out of some Cobalt, attaches them to the mech, and uses the rest to make some finishes. Then he coats a Scroll of Sunblast with Celestial Essence, and he shoves that into the generator.

Finally, Clone Dimitri places the Dome's Arm on the Mech. Simple as that. Creo gets in the mech, and activates it.

Creo's Mech: GM pls decide the stats.

I don't think my action should have gone through the fire (there were other more logical paths), nor would it have him[grue] hit broken[because the angle wouldn't work].
/shrug
I start twiddling my thumbs, then the other way. I do this for eternity. when anyone looks afterwards, it looks like I've switched to twidling random fingers and am on the one after the thumb, about the change.

"I have a feeling a particular type of conversation is about to erupt somewhere between these two..."

Lyra very obviously points to Rikoxxy.

"But that's none of my buisness. So, I'm just going to save everybody the trouble and try to get some of you..."

Lyra slowly, after just about everyone else has done something, marches forward to E9.

"To go..."

The fan is glowing purple.

"The [color=#000000]gorilla..."

Worryingly purple. ...wait, i need to censor tha-

"IN THERE!"

Against all odds and logic, a cone of Augmentation fires itself east in a desperate attempt to hit as many people as possible...

...
...
...
And then everything went black. For Lyra, anyway. The Luminescent Fan cannot handle the true form of whatever power Lyra has brought on it, and breaks into shards.

...
...
The same could be said of Lyra, as well.

:fear:

Lyra comes to about 5 minutes later. Lyra also comes to. And Lyra. And Lyra. And Lyra. And Lyra. And Lyra. And Lyr- SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE, PEOPLE ARE ABOUT TO CRY.

"Ah... owowowowow... I feel like I've lost most of my insides."
"Oh dear. This bodes unfavorably."
"Huh? I'm sorry, I'm busy clutching my chest in pain. Who are you?"
"Quit acting dumb! We all don't know this stuff but you!"
"(Well, that's a tsundere. And somebody I do not know.) What the heck are you talking about?"

Lyra appears to not have the ability to see right now.

"Wow, look at all of us! Can we be friends?"
"Huh? Wh... where are we?"
"...Hmph."

You don't know what you're doing to me here. You don't get it. There's seven more of them. Seven.

"Oh, relax. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Huh? Is it really OK for all of us to be out now?"
"Okay, what is happening?"

...I'm waiting for it...

"I don't know, you tell me."
"I don't know, you tell me."
"I don't know, you tell me."
"I don't know, you tell me."
"I don't know, you tell me."
"I don't know, you tell me."
"...I don't..."

"What even is going on anymore?!"

"I think I could provide an explanation, if the broken shards of your fan are anything to go by."
"What iiis it?"
"Broken from someone trying to bring too much power in, I'd say."
"Huh? How could somebody be so careless as to do that?"
"S...shut up!"
"Oh, come now. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
"But...but..."

"Okay, how about we compromise here. Let's introduce ourselves in an orderly manner, shall we?"
"Yeah, that sounds about fair. Almost competent, in a way."

"I guess I'll start. Considering we all look pretty similar, with main differences coming in hair color, I feel like you guys may already know me, but; Hi, I'm Lyra, and it's nice to meet you all."

"I shall take my turn. Hello, fellow kitsunemimi. While we technically share the same name, as we come from the same body, I suppose we all need some kind of proper name.
I believe Lykari shall do as mine." "Uh-" "Do not worry, Lyra. I promise the one I take a name after is already at a point of safety."

"Next! I'm also a Lyra here, not that I wanted to or anything. As for a name... Duo." "And why are you naming yourself tha-" "Shut up! It's creative!"

"Hi guys... my new name is... uh... Off... Offbeat? Is that a good name?" "You need some coffee or something? You look tired. "I'm fine, it's just that I'm... kinda out of it... and all." "(Ditzy. Definitely Ditzy.)"

"Name's Sadie. Don't worry... I won't harm you. For now. Just be careful... I like to play rough."
"She scares me, Lykari."
"At least she seems to be restraining herself... and she might be useful. Everybody has a niche, after all."

"Hihihi! I'm really energetic and cute and stuff! I'm Hyper!" "Uh, is that your name now or is that just-" "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" "Hyper it is."

"Hey... I'm Luna, I guess. Don't worry, I'm really reliable!" "(Chou-Chou is gonna sue me for this. Or...us, I guess.)"

"So that leaves... you, in the back. Want to introduce yourself?"
"Yeah! What's your name, fellow foxgirl?!"

"...Silent."
"That's the dumbest name I've ever heard of, if that even is going to be your name!"
"Let her do what she wants. There are worse ideas."

"sigh Okay, I guess that solves the immediate problem, but now I have another one that I think we need to bring up.
Namely, there are eight of us."
"And what's so bad about that? More people is a good thing, after all."
"Wouldn't we... like, interfere with eeeach other or something?"
"Offbeat makes a very valid point here. Having eight of us out like this could be a serious bane to any of our acts."
"In that case, what do we do?"
"...Combine our selves?"
"What the hell's that supposed to mean?!"
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Maybe she means we all team up together to create one really cool and powerful foxgirl! Am I right?"
"Correct."
"That sounds hard, though. And a bit painful. How could we do that?"
"We'd need something that could bind all of us together as one..."
"In that case, maybe we can rebuild your fan and use it as an inhibitor, restricting us to only having one out at a time."
"And how the hell do you intend to do that? That sounds blatantly impossible!"
"So is our dear Lyra suddenly having seven sisters."
"S-s-shut up!"
"Aww, are you starting to blush from embarrassment?"
"Guyyyys, stop fightiiiing. Besides, Lykari just ran off."
"Huh? Where did she go? Why would she leave us?"
"Maybe she went out to go get a friend? Or... or maybe she bought a new fan, or-"
"Relax, my fellow "sisters". I was only out for a moment, because it seemed like this would be a critical asset to our endeavor of rebuilding the fan."

my life is breaking into pieces. i thought it was bad already, but no- OH SHIT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NARRATING OH PALUT-
...*cough* Lykari outstretches her hand to reveal... a bar of Mythril, that she presumably bought from the Tem Shop.

"How is this going to help us?"
"This might not look like it, but it is a powerful crafting material. Just it alone should be enough to let us bring back the fan."
"Thenlet'sdoit! Why are we waiting?"
"Are we sure this is okay? Lyra, you want to do this?"

"...Let's do it. Everybody, gather up the fan's shards so we can do this."
"Okaaaay, Lyra. Come on guys, let's get all the pretty sha-Zzzzzzz..."
"...Really?"
"Don't worry, it'll be easy. Right?"

-"So many hours of trying to type this up" Later-

[color=#CC99FF]"*cough* *wheeze* I think we... did it."
"Are you really all tuckered out after this?"
"Sadie, you really shouldn't tease people like that."
"It wasn't all that bad."
"How can you say that? You're covered in bruises! ...N-not like I care about little things like that!"
"Yeah, it's not all that bad."
"Let's do the fuuun part now, guyyyys. Weren't we supposed to reassemble the fan?"
"Yes. Let us perform a ritual to recreate the fan. Please, fit your shards down on each other."

Each alternate foxgirl places their shards of the fan down (excluding "Offbeat", who was asleep the entire time).
Lykari insets the Mythril Bar above the fan, and attempts an incantation...

"Shouldn't I be the one to do this?"
"Do not worry. We are the same person, after all; just intertwined in a different personality."
"But half of us have no bearing on Lyra's own personality! How can you say things like that?!"
"...To be honest, I do not know myself."

Everybody has already forgot there is a Mythril Bar being used to repair a fan over here.
It's... uh, done now? That was anticlimactic in a crafting sense, but I think the sheer length of the storypost makes up for it.

"Well, I guess it's repaired now? Are you guys sure this is safe to hold?"
"The only way to try is to take it, right, darling?"
"Yeah yeah yeah! I wanna see what it does!"

Hesitating, Lyra picks up the newly reformed fan. The hilt has been recolored to a very specific shade of purple... #CC99FF, in hexadecimal sense. That can't be a coincidence. The seven small notches on the hilt are empty, and now orb-shaped. The fan's actual "fan" part appears largely unchanged, but a lot better of a color gradient is implemented.

Lyra picks it up... the seven others dissipate into colored orbs of fire, and retreat into the fan...

HiHi'iroic Fan
(Melee)
[color=#3333CC](9-9) DMG, 2 Range, 2 Retreat
WEAPON PASSIVE: Spiritual Recoloring. Inflict a negative stats effect of your choice for 2 turns except the banned ones, if it's DoT/Glitch it's 3 turns, 1 Power, can choose to 2 Range cone apply. "Indigo Destiny" is still a buff that applies to Lyra, identically to the Luminescent Fan. This weapon can also "repaint" two tiles in up to Range 2 to any other tiles of your choosing, assuming they wouldn't terribly break the balance of the game (HA, YEAH RIGHT!).
"Maybe powering this with seven souls of the same person is a bad idea. Maybe Lyra doesn't have a dictionary that has "bad idea" defined. Either way, this may be reason enough to panic."

While I'm dead as a doorknob, I might as well re-think my Special through, somewhat. Want to do something just a bit more exciting for the final boss(es).

SPECIAL UPDATE: Bloody Eruption. It's mostly the same on its own, but a new feature has been added to liven things up a bit.

-Costs (MORE) SP to use
-Some mild nerfing of certain bonus thresholds. SP reductions in particular are much rarer.
-Upon use of each Special, gain a stack of Metamorphasis. Lose a stack upon death, no matter what.
-If you get three Metamorphasis stacks at once (potentially more depending on Ire balance measures), enter "タイラントオーバーロード州" upon the next use of the special.
-Yes it's in japanese because I feel like it. Deal with it.
-In タイラントオーバーロード州, Roxxanne gains +1 action per turn (this action follows the rules of the Skeletron Prime mask, meaning Roxxanne cannot repeat actions other than basic attack, but Roxxanne can basic attack thrice in this mode), +1 Range to all actions, Debuff Immunity (any debuffs obtained pre-タイラントオーバーロード州 are instantly cured), Buff Stasis (buffs do not degrade over time), +100% Accuracy, AC ignorance, and Roxxanne uses half as much MP for any spells she has. In addition, she can grant any of these benefits, except her +1 Action, to one ally in Range 1 of her as a free action, for that turn only, and only if Roxxanne was directly adjacent to that target at the start of the allied turn.
-If Roxxanne were to reach 0 HP in タイラントオーバーロード州, Roxxanne will survive at 1 HP but instantly exit タイラントオーバーロード州. Otherwise, タイラントオーバーロード州 ends after 3 turns.
-Fill conditions: Same as before, Damage only.

SP cap: ???.

Ire, comment?

Speaking of specials, time to get something figured out.

Special Attack - Wireframe Fusion
SP needed: 450
Fill method: Dealing damage (X2 if Lightning-element), dodging an attack (gain equal to damage attack would have dealt), Chloe takes damage (damage taken x4)
Effect: Fuse oneself with target ally. The resulting combination has the MHP and AC of both participants put together, crit chance equal to The Operative's current crit chance, total move and dodge equal to half of the sum of the move of both participants, and benefits from all passives that either The Operative or the target ally have access to. They also can use abilities from either side of the fusion, and have +1 action per turn.
Extra Special Effect: Using this on Origin's Flare Chloe might result in a special exclusive fusion form...

WIP.

Auth clears his mind of the shock of the Telltale Heart.

I am strong, I am not afraid of this, and so I will fight with all the effort and strength I can muster. Allies, do not fear! We will surpass this, so stand strong!

Auth smirks to himself. Chaos will have his arm collection.

And then Orkio has a bad idea.

A really, really bad idea.

Ahahaha.

Auth just looks shocked. Shocked and alarmed. And then angry, just a little.

Ahahahahahah... that's right, Peter... give in to your anger. You love her, don't you? Shouldn't you avenge her?
What! No, I shall not act like that. I will leave it to more capable fight-
You don't believe that they can take care of her properly.
SHUT UP! Ugh! I trust them! They're more capable than me, in any case, I'm no fighter.
Then let me take control and I'll do it!
I figured this was just another ploy for control.
Well, of course. But I promise I'll avenge her, seriously!
THE ONLY THING I WISH YOU'D DO IS GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
Ahahahah, your semblance of composure is crashing down, just let-
Be quiet!
You know, you could be rid of me if you let me take control...
NO!
Then at least give me control long enough to do my joooooooob!
No! You'll massacre everyone, and there's no Alicias here to get you under control! Now shut-

Ring ring, ring ring! It's Temmie Roxxanne calling Auth on his ancient Nokia brick phone.

Auth likes this classic piece of trash.

Y-yes!? H-hello!?

Temmie Roxxanne informs Auth that Roxxanne has seven back-up consciouses running about. Auth breathes a shaky sigh of relief.

A-ah, is t-that so? I-I'm g-glad you-you're okay...

Auth hangs up, before...

Well then. She's fine.
If it's true, which, let's be honest, it probably isn't.
That was a call from a Temstwo clone of her, she told me everything is okay! Now get back in your restraints, Demon Child!
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CALLING DEMON CHILD, WE'RE THE SAME AGE YOU ENGLISH TOSSER!

Auth puts that voice back "into it's restraints", before coming back into his vision.

TO EVERYBODY ELSE, Auth just kinda... falls to his knees. And then his skin and hair violently swap between being almost-white and blood red to blood red and white, respectively. Soon, Auth screams the above conversation, while holding his head on both sides, as if he's holding his head together, to stop it from splitting. His eyes jump between their normal steel-blue and becoming ruby-red with black sclera. And then, almost as sudden as its onset...

It stops. Auth is still quivering on the ground, but... he's normal, and not violently changing colours anymore.

It's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay...

Auth staggers up, taking a few deep breaths.

I should practice what I preach. I deeply apologize, all, for losing my composure like that.

Auth bows, coughing, still trembling. Auth then stretches his neck and arms, taking a breath.

It will not happen again.

Auth bows again, and when he stands up, throws his coat out of the field. It is caught in a box of ink and moved away.

I can not do anything to Oriko for this transgression, in fact, I think she's going through punishment enough right now. But she wouldn't have to do it...

Auth rolls up the sleeves of his white, button-up shirt. Underneath, right on the inside of the elbows, are two...

Well, they look somewhat like tattoos, but as if he was born with them like that. They are also clearly covering up two sets of NASTY looking scars. His right arm bears a chess piece, a Black Knight, on the inside of the elbow, and the left bears the Scales of Justice.

If you weren't here to force her into it! So we will fight even harder on their behalves!

Auth points Inkscalibur at the Telltale Heart, before Auth jumps over to I6, and an arc of Ink, swirling between blood-red and cyan, flying directly at Toast. It rejuvenates her and works on sealing her wounds.

Right!? We can do this!

Soup is Mind-Controlled into moving to N3, activating Buff Aura.
