Roxxanne will take Temstwo over Gravball-this somehow turns the Temmie!Roxxanne in Mari's backpack into Cat!Roxxanne, who is small(er), black, glows red and is adorable. "I have achieved a level-up in adoribooness! All hail the adoriboo kitty princess of cuteness, Roxxanne, colon three!" She will then allocate 3 stat points into MP, bringing her up to 20 round, and funnel the last stat point into HP, for an extra 1 HP.

Roxxanne will buy a Mythril if there can be any to buy. If she doesn't manage this, you can basically skip everything below this line.

----+----+----

Roxxanne begins her newest shenanigans by taking the Heavenly Drill Knuckles, a Titanite Chunk, the purchased Mythril, 5 Gear Bits, a Correspondance Tablet, 1 log of Cinder Wood, 10 Leather, 12 units of Redstone, 3 Souls of Fright, and 9000 regular Souls. That's the full list of materials.

Roxxanne begins in an altogether unusual way and actually breaks down the Heavenly Drill Knuckles into its component parts, mostly through application of mindscape magics to warp the bits that aren't part of the duralsteel out of the durasteel. This will become important. Roxxanne then melts down the Durasteel from the original knuckles, alongside the Titanite Chunk and the purchased Mythril, almost certainly a powerful alloy. Roxxanne pours her INFINITE BURNING FIGHTING SPIRIT!!! into the fires of the forge that she uses, easily melting the Titanite, Durasteel and Mythril and, as before, infusing her INFINITE BURNING FIGHTING SPIRIT!!! into the materials. She shapes the end result into a gauntlet, carefully trying to fit her fist as gracefully as possible.

Once the whole thing has cooled off, Roxxanne proceeds to insert the circuitry bits, including the drills of the Heavenly Drill Knuckles. This time, however, Roxxanne requires some more Redstone, as the gauntlet is larger, and more to the point, Roxxanne has plans for this gauntlet. Roxxanne cautiously patches in runes of redstone; good old magitek runes will service the rest of the guantlet. The result is a lot more power internally for the drills-but now, the drills will not be the only thing absorbing the power, and Roxxanne made magitek runes for a reason.

Roxxanne measures the gauntlet and proceeds to carve off wood planks from the log of Cinder Wood, carefully cutting to make sure the wooden planks will overlay well on the gauntlet. Naturally, wood doesn't protect as much as a powerful alloy, so this clearly isn't for protective purposes-but she puts various planks onto the wood anyways, making the gauntlet have a mildly oriental feel to it. She then proceeds to study the Correspondance Tablet, trying to pick out a certain symbol. She eventually finds one that translates to 'A force that can override primal elements,' which is exactly what she's looking for. Roxxanne pours her INFINITE BURNING FIGHTING SPIRIT!!! into the tablet, causing it to shake and shrink, and coalesce into the symbol of her choice, burning a pure white fire. Roxxanne takes this floating magical symbol and shoves it into carefully-shaved plank of cinder wood long enough to hold it. At once the whole gauntlet is aflame-with pure white fires that can't possibly harm it or her. Exactly to plan.

Roxxanne proceeds to put in the leather bits, mostly just to keep her precious hand comfortable. The Gauntlet, at this point, is technically complete, a whole piece-but that will not be enough. Still, she tests it at this critical juncture, performing a variety of moves and stances and testing it for flow and function. Finding it satisfactory and then some, Roxxanne proceeds to put forth the final step, looking at the three souls of Fright and the 9,000 regular souls.

Roxxanne pulls the souls into a special device upon the omnidisciplinary crafting bench known as a spirifuge. It naturally involves spirits. Specifically, it'll release those trapped spirits into the appropriate afterlife in exchange for some of their ether-which will flow into the object of her choice. Roxxanne doubts these are actually souls and more the approximation of souls in Chaos's mind, but whatever, better safe than sorry. The Souls of Fright are particularly strong souls, so Roxxanne starts by releasing them into the spirifuge, releasing them and their spooky essence into her gauntlet. With her INFINITE BURNING FIGHTING SPIRIT!!! flowing throughout the gauntlet, the essence of the soul captured within is far more fiery than before. The stronger souls will serve as a basis for the weaker ones moving forwards in this little project.

Roxxanne proceeds to burn out the nine thousand regular souls, all into the spirifuge, all at once. That's quite a few souls-thankfully, the spirifuge can handle over 9000 souls. Roxxanne dodges a bullet for the filthy meme, then proceeds to release them, all at once, collecting sizable amounts of ether in the process that go directly into the gauntlets. With each soul released into the afterlives, the gauntlet's INFINITE BURNING FIGHTING SPIRIT!!! grows and grows and grows, silently burning hotter and hotter without end. By the 9000th soul, the gauntlets INFINITE BURNING FIGHTING SPIRIT!!! could be said to match Roxxanne's own-which was necessary to fully empower the Correspondance Sigil. Roxxanne fits her hand into the gauntlets, flexing the fingers, very satisfied by her work.

Roxxanne tests the gauntlets with a sick series of moves, again, just to make sure. The white flames weren't really flames, but they sure put the hurt on people, creating incredible force with each blow. She easily turns a stone target dummy into dust.

"Hooray! I am a successfulor personier, colon three!"


Spiraling Nirvana Knuckles: (6-6) damage, 1 Range, 2 Retreat. Every shonen anime ever condensed into a fist.
Weapon Skill: World Breaker. If a target is at 25% HP or lower, you may perform an extra attack with +3 damage. Does not count as a weapon for the effects of certain items and gear. Also passively allows the user to deal non-elemental attack damage at any time.

Oppy has to spend more than a mere moment thinking about what to say, all the while hugging Chloe back tightly, then he responds to her.

"...I'll be honest. Maybe I've gotten a bit too casual with my life after dragging myself out from the afterlives I end up in time and time again. And maybe I tend to put a bit too much value on certain types of situations. I... hmm... I'll try to not be careless. But there are going to be situations where there isn't an alternative I find acceptable."

He moves about to look her dead in the eyes.

"Maybe my death at Marron's hands wasn't entirely necessary, but... In that battle against the Shattered, if I hadn't done what I did, you'd have been hit with something that I feared would've killed you. Yes, even without being in the battle properly, you were under threat, and trust me... bad things are going to happen if you end up dead. If something like that happens again, I'm definitely going to choose my own death over risking yours."

Then, he pauses, before sighing and moving to rest his head on her shoulder.

"Decisions like these are hard to make... I guess that's part of why I make them."
[small][small][small][small]"Also, funny thing, Marron also asked if I was a masochist. Honestly, I'm not sure yet. Maybe I need to test that... although preferably with help so I'm not at any real major risk."[/small][/small][/small][/small]

...Awkward smalltext is awkward. But, anyway, things should be okay now. Oppy turns to take a look around nearby.

"...So, what now?"

To do list:

Talk to Omo
Talk to Marron probably
Talk to Roxxy possibly.
Take Agreed upon SPC Orb
Put 3 Skill Points into SPC.

With Omo, Auth responds to all remarks.

Those beings, huh? The Iti? Interesting, if they're mere beasts then I guess it makes sense, they wouldn't know better.

Auth put a his hand to his forehead, clearly in a manner showing that he is thinking.

Well, the bloodthirsty beasts would certainly be an issue, but that could be resolved by having someone watch over you to make sure they don't get to you. The other issue... the personal one... would it have to do with the memory Orb embedded in your back, perhaps?

A Spectre walks in, carrying a large, Ink-made black box. The Spectre gives Auth the box, which he opens, and he puts his coat on. He realises that he still has a dress in one of the pockets.

Oh, dear. Could you take this to Roxxanne, please? Tell her that it is a gift on behalf of myself and Mr. Veils.

Auth hands the neatly folded dress to the Spectre, which salutes then walks off. He looks sadly when Omo reminisces on what the library once was.

I'm sure it would have been beautiful before, I would love to listen to the history, aOmo. I'd hairy record what you say to me, even if it wouldn't begin to do what your homeland's history and culture were justice.

Auth summons a book and quill, taking a pose of intent listening.

Meanwhile, the Spectre goes to Zone 4, carrying a shimmering blue fabric dress, and finds Marron cowering behind a boulder, surprising him.

My word, Miss Marron, you surprised me. How are you doing... after the whole Miss Elem threatening you ordeal?

The Spectre, on behalf of Auth, sighs, and then the ink forming its coat melts. There is a lot of it. After all the the Ink in the Spectre's coat and jumper has melted away, there is enough of it to form a mini-Auth, about the same height as Roxxy usually is. Without the coat and Jumper, is is newly revealed to absolutely no one that Auth has a very slim build.

The Spectre hands the dress to the new Spectre.

Take this to Roxxanne, on behalf of Mr. Veils. I'll stay here with Marron to ensure her safety.

The little Spectre salutes, and takes the dress, returning to Zone 5. Meanwhile, Spectre One moves towards Marron.

Do you mind if I sit here? I believe Miss Elem's murderous intent should have mostly subsided, due to intervention by Operative, but it can't hurt to be sure that you're safe.

Meanwhile, the Mini-Spectre floats back to Zone 5, and finds Roxxanne, prior to her doing some crafting and Temmie Roxxanne becoming a cat. Having the two of them at eye level is awkward for everyone.

Ah, Roxxanne. I have something for you. On behalf of Mr. Veils, for you.

Auth hands the real Roxxanne the sparkly blue dress before she does her thing.

I'm really not used to being this small.

Auth sighs, continuing to look at Roxxanne while smol.

Not that being small is a bad thing, of course, I'm just used to being massive...

/wip instead

<TURN TWO-HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR>
Emerald starts by taking the old Glass Dagger, and mixing it together with 2 Souls of Fright, a Venom Ruby, 10 Leather, 2 Diamonds, and 4 Phase Matter. He also uses 10 Hardened Glass, which would normally suck in a weapon but this dagger's already made of glass, so whatever.. It gains +1 DMG and +2 Range, along with the half STR-scaling. The (AGI/2) retreat is rejected as that's just too much retreat, man. It also gets renamed to the Si'griut. Chaos proceeds to question your naming scheme. Emerald also tosses 4 Flarefin Koi and 200 Fish Chunks together to create the Elaborate Fish... thing? He then hands Mari the dish...

ut: ...
ut: Thanks.
ut: I seriously doubt it'll be too good, though. How good can Fishron taste, anyway...?

She takes a bite. About a minute later half of the fish chunks are gone, and Mari's stuffed.

ut: ...Whew. Haven't had a decent meal in quite a bit...
ut: Makes me wish I went into cooking, rather than coding.
ut: ...I jest, of course. But thanks.
ut: Take this... beast as payment.

Mari lifts Temmie Roxxanne out of her backpack, and hands her to Emerald.

ut: ...If you convince her to stop breaking my back, I'll pay you like, one gold.
ut: Ah, you also deserve this...

She tosses Emerald a few Wire Bits (x50), and some Gear Bits. (x20)

ut: Maybe you'll find a use for them? Who knows.

With half of the fish dish remaining, the Elaborate Fish Thing has been added to the inventory, restoring 50% of the HP of the user. Oh, Emerald also duct-tapes the Mistletoe to the Christmas Tree Sword. This grants it a new... unsavory bonus. Mainly because the mind-control effect works by kiss.

Battlefury then makes Correspondence Tablets out of 10 Iron Ingots. Somehow, they have symbols on them for him to decipher, despite him having made them. Odd. He then uses a scroll of Sunblast, 100 Golden Nuggets, Dog Residue (used 7 times), and the Smuggler's Crate card, to obtain the following items: 1 unit of Gaoler's Honey, 2 Starstone Demarks, 1 Breath of the Void, 3 Elements of Dawn, 2 Ray-Drenched Cinders, 1 Coruscating Soul, an additional 1,000 souls-

And then Battlefury is promptly arrested due to his suspicion hitting 8. No matter how Dangerous, Shadowy, Watchful, or Persuasive you are, the constables will find you, and they will bag you. He eventually breaks out of prison, and escapes back to the Mindscape before anything else can happen to him. He then changes specials to Shattered Chains... and fails! That's seriously imbalanced; you basically double your MP supply- or given the damage that you'll be dealing, triple, with a lot of other nice bonuses. Sorry. Lyra then attempts to switch specials, hoping for more luck then Doggo, which she gets, successfully making the switch. She also tosses some points around into STR and HP.

Dimitri also swaps specials because that's hip now, equipping Death Defying Moment 2.0. He then upgrades his Tainted Magitech Armor using a SOUL Relay, the Nikumaru Heart, the Ghost Amulet, 8 Lava Buckets, 2 Flarefin Koi, 2 Obsidifish, 10 Gear Bits, 92 Cinder Logs, 8 Adamantite Bars, 10 Durasteel Bars, 1 Titanite Shard, the Shipbeam, 20 Redstone, 99 Souls, 10 Hardened Glass, 1 Lesser Memory Orb, 1 Mage Robe Parachute, 3 Circuit Boards to make the... uh...

...It's hard to decide on an effect, given the exotic array of materials and the "maybe i should mythril" requirement. The armor won't be made until an effect for it is posted. The materials won't be consumed, either. Just do note that it succeeded. Jon then flings some points around into INT and MP, while Darkside reworks his entire build... and jegus I just realized that Razorblade Typhoon is superhyperultragood with the +1 DMG from having 8 INT. I'm just gonna tweak the base damage by 1. He also creates the Baconfire Robes, opting to buy a set of Mage Robes due to there being a real chance that Talist could come back again. But hey. Anyway, the robes also use a Red Sap Jar, 50 Bacon Strips, 10 Cinder Logs, 5 Obsidifish, a single Gold Ingot, an Obsidian Koi, a whole shark, a Soul of Fright, and a Titanite Shard. Please exercise caution when walking by anybody who enjoys bacon.

Chlorin tosses some points around as well, upgrading his AGI and HP. He then tosses a Circuit Board and 2 Titanium Ingots into his hat to upgrade it! It fails to get the +5% Accuracy. JOE then +4's his MP. Toast then heads to that area Near the Summit, and approaches with caution, ensuring that she's visible. Marron, after taking a cautionary glance around, pulls herself up onto the boulder she was hiding behind.

tc: S-Sup, Toast.
tc: I-I'm fine... for now. Just kinda rattled.
tc: ...Is Chloe still angry with me? If she wasn't capable of LIGHTING HERSELF ON FIRE at will, then maybe she wouldn't be so scary.
[small][small]tc: I could probably take her...[/small][/small]
tc: ...At least your flaming phoenix armor isn't scary. That much I can say.
tc: If Chloe's calmed down, could I come back to the Clearing? It's nice there.

She shivers.

tc: After being in the Recollection Woods for so long,
this place is the freaking ice spikes biome, geez...
tc: ...Maybe I could help with your crafting when I get back, too...

She kicks back for a moment while waiting for a response. Toast also purchases a Temmie Mystery Box, getting 5 Severed Heads, 23 Anti-Wire Bits, and a single Cracker. Roxxanne then purchases a Mythril, and allocates some statpoints. She then tosses together the Heavenly Drill Knuckles with a Titanite Chunk, the Mythril Ingot from before, 5 Gear Bits, 1 Correspondence Tablet, 1 Cinder Log, 10 Leather, 12 Redstone, 3 Souls of Fright, and 9,000 Souls. That's a lot of INFINITE BURNING FIGHTING SPIRIT!!! This upgrades the Heavenly Drill Knuckles into the Spiraling Nirvana Knuckles.

The Operative then consoles Chloe a little more. He notes that sometimes, there'll be times when there is no alternative but to die.

ga: I-I understand.
ga: Just... really don't do it, unless you need to! Like with Marron; you probably could've resolved that peacefully...

He then tells her that she could've died if he didn't do what he did. She freezes up.

ga: N-No way...

Her arms tighten around the Operative. Tears well up within her eyes.

ga: It was... that strong, was it?
ga: T-Thank you for... protecting me...

She rests within the Operative's arms as he rests his head on her shoulder. He then asks a simple question; what now?


ga: U-Um...
ga: Well, you'll be heading off again soon, so I don't think we can do anything major...
ga: Wanna just... talk? We've never had a proper chat, you and I.
ga: Like... what was your home like?
ga: You've seen mine; after all, you've been exploring it this whole time!
ga: But... what was your home like? Your world? I'd like to know.
[small][small]ga: ...Also, not gonna help you test that masochism theory. I don't wanna hurt you.
ga: Get like... uh, Mari to help you or something. She's probably the least likely to kill you out of everyone else. Not including Ette, of course.[/small][/small]

She takes a seat on the log benches, inviting the Operative to sit down with her. She decides to warm up a bit of Temmie Tea, not consuming it in the process.

ga: Ah, do you like tea?
ga: ...Or food in general? I have absolutely no idea if you can eat or not, actually...

While that's happening over there, the Author talks with Omo. He remarks about having somebody to watch over her.

gg: I tried to do that once. I shaped a guardian out of wood to protect me once, but the moment I fell asleep, the construct stopped animating.
gg: And... the other issue...
gg: It... well...

She deliberates for a moment.

gg: Yes. Yes it does.

An Ink Specter comes and goes, before Auth mentions that he'd love to listen to her world's history.

gg: Are you sure about that?

She then notes the book and quill.

gg: Oh, alright. Get your quill ready...



She coughs.

gg: Forgive me, but it pains me to think about these things sometimes.
gg: I'll continue later, if you haven't lost interest yet...

Another Ink Specter then sees what's happening with Marron, asking if she's fine after dealing with Chloe.

tc: Y-Yeah, I'm fine. She hasn't burned my arm off yet or anything, so we're good.

He asks if he can sit down. She nods.

tc: Hopefully she's calmed down by now...
tc: If she tried to beat me up, I bet nobody would stop her.
tc: "She's so precious and pretty and important", ugh.
tc: ...At least you two are here to protect me. So, thanks.

Since Auth's around, she decides to testfire the rifle. She gets up, plants down a cinder log, and places an empty Potion bottle on it. She takes aim, and pulls the trigger, lighting up the air with a brilliant flash! The recoil causes her to stumble and fall on her butt. The potion bottle, now covered in soot, is merely chipped and cracked. The log however, not the intended target, has been smashed into splinters. She dusts herself off and plants herself back on the rock.

tc: This thing has some kick, wow!
tc: It's... awesome!
tc: Just gotta learn how to use it. Shouldn't take too long.
tc; I just need to... learn a proper shooting stance, or something.

...

And now, that's all the posts covered! This might be one of the longest dops yet, wow. Just keep gearing up for WARE, and all will be well. There's really not much I can say, besides the fact that everyone' been fully healed.

Emerald starts cuddling with Temmie Roxanne "Psst! If you don't break her back we get money! Besides, you can go in my backpack if you want"

He also puts the Christmas Tree Sword in the inventory and equips Si'Griut instead
"Now all I need is a hat"

"speaking of which, dibs on the computer and technology related materials"

Crafting In Progress:

Emerald decides it's time to make a hat. He takes a bunch of Durasteel Ingots, all of the Circuit Boards, some Gear Bits, a single piece of Hardened Glass, some Redstone, and some Wire Bits. Those will be what he uses. He sets aside the Durasteel for now, because those won't be useful until the very end, to act as protection for the helmet. After all, the end result is a freaking computer, it'll need Nokia level protection in a mindscape like Chaos', so Durasteel should be sufficient for that purpose.
To start with, he takes the most important pieces, the Circuit Boards, and sets them on a table, before melting down the Iron Ingots to form a helmet-like shape, and then waits for it to harden.
After that's done, he takes the Circuit Boards, and connects them to the Iron Helmet with vague creative liscensing method. With that, he takes the Circuits and connects them with Redstone and Wire Bits only using some of each. He'll need to save some for a later purpose. Which will come now, actually.
He takes the Hardened Glass, and a Gear Bit, and cuts out the center of the Gear Bit, putting some Redstone around the edges, and inserting the Hardened Glass in there and scratching in a crosshairs with Si'griut, before using a combination of the remaining Gear Bits, Redstone, and Wire Bits to connect it to the helmet proper, causing it to light up red, but it seems that it can only light up to help his aim for a period of time, probably for about one attack, conveniently.
He takes the Durasteel Ingots, heats them up enough to soften them, and fits them around the Circuit Aiming Helmet, then waits for the Quantum Computing Helmet to harden, then puts it on.

He equips his new helmet

Toast texts Alt. Alt texts Toast. Synergy at its finest.

Yo Chloe, would you terribly mind if Marron was to come back? It was nice to have the whole chaoscape gang here, and worst case scenario, you two could just ignore each other?

Alt relays the response to Toast. Toast relays the response to Marron. Synergy. If Chloe and Marron are cool with that, Toast heads over to the Clearing with Marron and does some craftstuffs.

If you want to help, I'm planning to make some cool soul earrings out of my Ember. Since soul stuff is kinda dangerous, I'd prefer to do that myself, but once I have the actual matter to work with, you could design the earrings themselves. Could be cool.



Toast unequips the Ember (which I am fairly sure is a sort of shard thing) as she collects the rest of the materials. That's quite a few souls.

First of all, she melts the Titanite Shard down into a pair of small metallic orbs, each about a half-palm in diameter. They're left to cool, and that's the easy part done. Toast now places these orbs on a work bench, where they are joined by the Ember. As I said, I'm pretty sure it's a sort of volcanic shard thing. I need to break it into two halves, but I really don't know how breaking it would affect the quality of the shard. I have something else in mind, though.

Toast smears a single piece of Phase Matter around the centre of the Ember, and Pthen pulls it into two halves. No resistance. The phase matter acts as sort of a portal between the two halves- this way they aren't really broken so much as seperated. Now that she's done that, she places two pieces of Phase Matter onto each orb, then zapping it with a bit of energy to change its function. Instead of simply teleporting them from one location go another, the Phase Matter openings act as gateways to the orbs themselves. Neat. She forces the Ember 'halves' into the Phase Matter 'portals' on the orbs. They each absorb the Ember, and develop a warm-lava-vein-y-orange-red-allthosecolours-adjectivial appearance.

She now grabs the various souls loafing around the place, frowning at them.

I'm... ninety-nine point nine percent sure these are just gaming abstractions, and not the souls of actual people. I've played the games these are from, after all... so it should be fine to craft with them.

Toast takes the Soul of Smough, and forces it into the portal on the leftmost orb. It goes in easily, translating the qualities associated with Smough into it, primarily sheer tankiness. This orb gains a new sheen, now flickering between the lava-red and the brass-gold colors. For the other, she unbottles the Coruscating Soul and lets it slink out, and into the second orb. A soul of this quality would surely have a wealth of knowledge of the way the world is, was, and could be. Even picking up the orb now causes Toast to feel a rush of inspiration. Or something. Probably. Inspirational rushes aside, this orb gains its own purple sheen, which it flickers between with the lava-red, similar to the other orb.

Toast returns to the first orb- while straight up tankiness is nice, refusing to die outright is even nicer. Smough is a tanky dude, but he also does a ton of damage. Toast is a tanky-revival gal, but she also does a ton of damage. Coincidence? I think not. Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to replace the tankiness provided by the Soul of Ornstein and Ember with the power to remain through death? I don't see why not. All that is needed is a liberal application of magic. If she gave that orb qualities of herself, or Radiance, then she could mess with the finer things directly.

TORIS-EY-ALTO FIET SHREN'NA RIEXSA! FOMOS-NARIS. (Wow, my grammar with this is terrible. [small]Although to be fair that's one of the most grammatically complex spells I have ever constructed. [small]And it's not even that powerful.[/small])[/small]

A chain made of pure energy manifests itself at her shoulder, coils down her left arm and wraps around the orbs. A moment passes, and the chain sets itself alight with a deep jade flame. It trails down into each orb, slowly extinguishing itself as it does so. The conceptual manifestation Toast stubborn refusal to die is absorbed, and they both gain an emerald sheen in addition to the lava-red and gold/purple. The chains recede, and the orbs seem to be finished. Toast wipes away the phase matter she was using earlier, and tosses it. Unobstructed by the phase matter, the colours of the orbs are quite pretty.

If Marron wants to do something with them at this point, now's the time.
*shrug*
Otherwise, Toast will shape them into a pair of swanky earrings, vaguely resembling a chain of crystals, despite being made of metal. She uses a single iron ingot to make the hooks, then puts them in her ears.



Toast hooks the earrings onto her earlobes- it seems that they've already been pierced.

To finish off this post, Toast uses a Temshop coupon to nab the Historia tome, which she equips with her new skillslot.

Cat!Roxxanne, formerly Temmie!Roxxanne, worms her way out of Emerald's grip, turning to face Mari. "Oh, fine. I'll only be your cutest little kitten companion that follows you around on foot instead of laying in your backpack. But I still got to follow you around and stuff."

"...Uh. What's your favorite kind of food?" Roxxanne asks to Mari, out of the blue.

Roxxanne then notices a tiny ink specter. The lack of any distinguishable features beyond a dark blob was mildly unsettling, but in effect, she had never seen Auth that tiny before. He had a box. "oooh, what's that?" Roxxanne asked. She recieved the box and opened it, and inside was a beautiful blue dress. "Aaaaaaaaah! So shiny! Thank you, thank you very much!"

Roxxanne was very well pleased with this.

Oppy just keeps hugging Chloe in mostly-silence, seemingly a little uncomfortable with the way he's partially to blame for upsetting her. Or, you know, mostly so. He merely nods when she makes the request he be a bit more careful with what he spends his life doing, and again when she inquires whether the Telltale Heart really had been that strong. Then, the prospect of just talking comes up. He proceeds to sit down beside Chloe, then pause.

"Hmm... I've been able to eat and drink, yes. There just isn't much point in doing so... oh, and something I did recently means I don't have a stomach anymore, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. Would it somehow get absorbed, or just end up falling through me? I don't know yet."

There's a pause again when she asks him about his world. He thinks for a moment.

"I don't really like remembering the place I came from all that much. Being shot and kicked repeatedly, then being thrown in a jail cell and carted off somewhere else without even stopping for the most basic medical care... That kind of things tends to build feelings of resentment, trust me. The next place was better. Mostly since the people there weren't being mind controlled by a genocidal AI. Heh... After being rescued, I'd found myself on board some kind of very large ship, which I'd eventually come to learn was called the Mainframe. I dunno if you've heard of it before, probably not, but it's essentially... a space battleship bigger than a universe, powered by many dozens of what I can only describe as several combined nuclear reactors per engine, bristling with armaments that could load and fire entire suns... and also probably the most impractically oversized, overcompensatory, questionably-engineered, and ridiculous battleship in the history of things that aren't the universe, because it couldn't fit in one."

...Going by his expression, Oppy is serious.

"What makes things worse for that battleship were, you know, minor details... like how most of the things it'd be good against also happen to be human sized, and thus so much smaller than it that it couldn't reliably hit them with anything. But, hey. It still served quite fine as a home, since at that size, there's plenty of room for staff accommodations if need be, and the guy running it wasn't picky about what kind of people made things work there, so long as they did. That includes me."

...

"..."

...

"...I'm not actually sure where to go from here. Kinda feel like I might've rambled a little bit. That happens sometimes."

Well then.

Result: Novakid Brand: Upon death, deal (13-14/15 depending on how much of a buff Ire wants it to be) Fire Damage to all foes within Range 2. Basically a small buff.

Gonna hold off on dopping today. Quick question; should we start WARE next update, just to save a bit of time? Leave your feedback in your posts, please.

I kind of just want to get right into WARE next turn.

Upgrading the topper tomorrow with those fancy items i obtained, meth production math projects got in the way of having time to do this.

<TURN TWO-HUNDRED AND FOURTY-FIVE>
Emerald combines 10 Durasteel, 5 Circuit Boards, 3 Iron Ingots, 15 Gear Bits, a sheet of Hardened Glass, 18 Redstone, and 28 Wire Bits to create the Quantum Computing Helmet! The amount of crafting materials used was very satisfying for the reason that it made most of their supplies end with 0. That was neat. He then dons the new hat. Alt then asks Chloe if Marron is allowed to come back.

ga: ...
ga: Yeah, sure.
ga: She's your friend, after all. Keeping you two apart would be rude.
ga: Besides, I can forgive.
ga: ...Even if she did murder my boyfriend.
ga: If she does it again though, I will slap her silly.

After a bit of text-relaying, Marron returns to the Clearing. While she does keep her distance from Chloe, she's relieved to be back. She watches as Toast pieces together the Ember, the Soul of Smough, 1 Titanite Shard, 1 Iron Ingot, 5 Phase Matter, and the Coruscating Soul. Once the Soulfire Anima are complete, Marron... fails to upgrade them in any foreseeable way.

tc: I know a bit of magic, but enchanting earrings with souls is out of my realm of expertise.
tc: ...Even if Ette is a soulpuppet. And if I have an army of puppets.
tc: ...Sorry. Don't wanna ruin them.
tc: They're absolutely beautiful, though! They suit you.

...It seems like Toast has exceeded the Mythril Cap though, and will need to apply Mythril to it sooner or later or risk the destruction of reality or something like that. While pondering that, Toast also uses a coupon to buy Historia! Cyan then finishes the Soul Titan Plating, opting to skip the movement wallhack as that's just a little bit too much for a non-mythril armor. The Soul Relay effect is also modified so that if the user is hit, they still take 33% damage, rather than none. At least he didn't use nearly as many materials as he said he used. Creo, now knowing with Marron is, says to Marron that-

tc: ...Who are you, exactly?
tc: I can't forget you if you're already unmemorable.

Suddenly, out of the blue, Roxxanne asks Mari what her favorite food is.

ut: There's probably no harm in telling you.
ut: I like burritos. It's a... family thing.
ut: Chloe can make pretty average ones if she's given the proper materials, but she can't compare to MY burritos.
ut: I am a god among burrito-makers. gorilla can't compare.
ga: They're not that amazin-
ut: They totally are! Shut up.

Then, after witnessing Marron's return, the Operative takes a moment to recall his home, as Chloe asked. She listens attentively, picturing the gigantic spaceship that is the Mainframe.

ga: N-No way!
ga: The Mainframe sounds amazing! Even if you did get beaten on there, sorry...
ga: But, wow! The size of a universe? Surely, it's not actually THAT big, right?
ga: ...I think I've heard of it before. I found a memory orb once that mentioned three halves of a mainframe being stolen... but that might've just been a memory of a gorillapost or something.
ga: Especially since you can't steal three halves of something.

The Operative expresses a bit of confusion as to where to go from here.

ga: Nah, it's fine; listening to you talk is relaxing.
ga: If you have questions about myself or the Mindscape, feel free to ask away!

She also places a cup of tea beside him.

ga: Don't feel pressured to drink it if you feel something bad would happen. It's really nothing special- just a bit of Temmie Tea.

She remains sitting, now leaning against the Operative's shoulder. At the same location probably, Chlorin eats a cinder fruit and explodes. This somehow upgrades his Novakid Brand, though. The death also has no downsides. Meanwhile in Zone 5, Auth and Omo remain idle, their conversation not progressing in anyway. Mainly because he needed more time to post, and so nothing's happening for kindness reasons.

Then, through the suggestion of one post, and feedback from the Discord, the brave souls in Zone 5 decide to progress into the Sphere, where WARE awaits...

<BATTLE: FRIENDLY FRIEND>
The moment the party enters the gigantic wooden sphere known as... the Sphere, the air fills with the faint taste of thyme. In the center of the gigantic, hollowed-out sphere, suspended from the ceiling with legs towards the sky, is the program Ire. Twitching and shaking, he smiles as everyone approaches... and yet, he doesn't seem to be paying any attention to the group. He's draped in an oak-wood hoodie- or at least, it used to be oak wood. Now, it seems to be made of an odd purple wood, which still conceals his whole body in blackness. Only two large purple eyes poke out of the void of the hood. With every shake- with every twitch, the entire sphere jolts with it.

Everyone proceeds forward, stepping on jagged spires of wood that vaguely resemble platforms. In the center, just below Ire, lies a nexus of thymium energy. It bleeds out into the floor, with purple wisps of smoke and code rising out of key points on the ground. At the edges of this platform lie the dregs of this energy, a thick and caustic sludge that's a blight to the eyes. Bits of it flow down into the bottom of the hollowed sphere, creating a pool of certain death down below. Once everyone's settled on the central platform, only then does WARE seem to truly notice the intruders. The chains of code that were holding him to the ceiling break in a display of purple sparkles. WARE lands on the ground in that fancy three-point position that all superheroes seem to land in.

The floor swallows him whole, the wood morphing and pulling away from beneath him. A sickening, infectious laughter reverberates throughout the chamber, splinters raining down from the ceiling as it echoes and careens through everyone's skulls. The floor explodes open as WARE shoots out, now content with just floating in the air. A disjointed voice emanates from the figure. It sounds... chipper.

crankyCreeper: Hello, friends!
cc: It's great to see you all again.

A tophat made out of wood spins itself together out of the floor, before launching itself upwards. It lands perfectly on WARE's head.

cc: I'd just like to tell you something, really quick.
cc: You're all so, so dead! It's amazing!
63 63 3a 20 6f 68 20 6d 61 6e 20 70 6c 65 61 73 65 20 6b 69 6c 6c 20 6d 65 0d 0a 63 63 3a 20 68 65 27 73 20 73 6f 20 68 61 70 70 79 20 61 62 6f 75 74 20 61 6c 6c 20 6f 66 20 74 68 69 73
cc: I can finally kill everyone; everyone who led me to this fun, fun place!

...He's happily and giddily hopping around in the air, as if there was an invisible floor beneath him. It's simultaneously adorable and horrifying; mostly the latter.

cc: I just wanted to have my fun, but they all hated me so, so much for something they could've prevented!
cc: They wanted to kill me. Destroy me.
cc: But they failed. And now I'm here! Isn't that great!

The walls of the sphere tremble and spew out splinters as a face forms in the back "wall" of the sphere. It's a gigantic smile, similar to the perpetual slasher smile of Chaos. The mouth moves with the disjointed voice, shards of wood spewing out and dancing down into the abyss below as it smacks and contorts.

cc: Maybe, maybe we can all die together, and be rid of this horrible world! Yaaaay!
cc: Anyway, bye-bye!

WARE slams down into the wooden platform. He smiles, menacingly walking forward as four "glyphs" of sorts shoot out of the ground, some of them almost impaling a few of the party as they rip out, a burst of splinters coming out with them.

...This is it, now. The penultimate battle. This'll be bloody and brutal. Be smart, and don't die, as hard as that may be. A single misstep can, and will spell your instant death. But, you can do this! Don't lose hope!

I added some somewhat important infomation to Ware's stats via comments. Simply put:
Avoid silly and screwy spells, such as shifting sands.
Waa's Curse, which is honestly obvious, means he dies upon all four glyphs dying.
Finally, be wary of killing even a single glyph- Essence Shatter will cause freaky, murderous things.

I dump all my points in MP.
Moving after anyone else moving within 1 range of J5.
I spawn at J2 and move to J5, then use Guardian.

Chlorin spawns at J3 and throws an Incendiary at J8.

Toast buys+grabs a Mythril, applies it to her Soulfire Anima somehow, then vows to collect the mythril in Zone 3 at some point- to repay her debt to society.

Additionally, she switches Shifting Sands for Counter, and does some quick stat switching. She removes two points from INT, leaving her at 11 spare skillpoints, then chucks 5 points into MP, and the rest into HP. The relevant stats are now as follows-
HP: 65
MP: 16
INT: 2

I might craft Caledscratch here. If I do, I'll also be switching to that. If not, I'll be switching back to the Jadesaw.

~~

When Emerald asks Toast about the Mythril, she is suddenly triggered for some unknown reason, possibly regarding her gender identification. Well, she would be if she wasn't so chill. People have (probably) spent their entire lives trying to attain the same level of chill that Toast has now.

(2)
The one in the Furniture Graveyard- it's like a hundred metres down or something silly like that. If you were planning on checking it out, try to disturb the island itself as little as possible. Those glowing green things are wierd as gorilla, and we have enough enemies without an entire island getting on our case.

[conversation break!]

(4)
Hm. I'll be going to the WARE fight, and Alt seems to be content chilling here, so...

Toast thinks for a moment, then has an idea. She holds up her hand as if waiting for a hi-five, then suddenly, someone that looks suspiciously like Toast leaps out of the air, and accepts the most radical hi-five of all time.

Present!Toast: Emerald, meet future me. Future me, you've already had this conversation, so there's no need to introduce you to Emerald.
Future!Toast: Hey again.
Present!Toast: So I'm going to go to the WARE fight, then time travel back and help you out with getting the mythril. In the future I already have time traveled back, so that means you won't need to wait or anything. (Man, I am so considerate look at me go.)

Present!Toast heads out to the WARE fight, while Future!Toast remains.

(6)
Sounds good. Let's head over.

Toast heads over to the Furniture Graveyard, presumably with Emerald.

So it seems that someone's already made some progress here. Not a lot, mind you, but we can work with that. Although, now there's this massive root that we have to dig around.

(8)
Aye. I think I have something resembling a plan though.

Toast holds up her right arm, which appears to be constructed entirely from a green lattice of crystals, all the way up to her shoulder. A moment passes, and it shifts into some sort of flat implement, like a spatula.

I think we should dig on this side, around the root, (gesturing) then continue to go down from there. If you can do some of the larger digging, I'll use the precision of my hand to dig closer to the root and create a sort of outline for you to dig in.

~~

Toast spawns at K3, moves to K4 and accepts a Guardian from Battlefury. Afterwards, she moves to K9 and activates Counter.

We're here to take you out, and that's an immutable fact that I am stating for the record! I invoke the power of having far more health than what is reasonable! Come at me, Wario! Yeah! Shouting!

I've also decided to add some notation for revival order, since I have quite a few right now. For, example- this turn it is as follows:
Fallen Angel > Ashes > Manifest.

This means Fallen Angel will trigger, then Ashes, then Manifest.

Emerald spawns at G3...and does nothing else, except for remind Ire that he had equipped Si'griut. And switch out Shifting Sands for Counter

Oh, and puts his remaining point in HP

Time to make more food!
A clone of Emerald takes all of the bacon strips, the remaining Fishron Chunks, 3 crimson Tigerfish, and 3 salmon. This is either going to be delicious, or disgusting. Hopefully delicious, since this is being made for the sole purpose of feeding it to Mari. He starts out by taking the bacon strips, and the Fishron Chunks. He starts cooking the Fishron Chunks until they are a golden brown, and sets them off to the side when they're done, then cooking more Fishron Chunks, until all the Fishron Chunks are done.
Next, he cooks the bacon until it's cooked, but still flexible and not crispy. He wraps bacon around each of the Fishron Chunks to create little balls of bacon with Fishron Chunks inside. Should be delicious.
Next for the actual not-Fishron part of the meal, which is the Salmon and the Crimson Tigerfish. He starts by taking the fur off the Tigerfish, as that is not edible, and skinning and deboning the fishes in general, to take out everything that won't cook. Then he burns the bones. Somehow. Screw your normal physics. He cooks the meat from the Tigerfish and the Salmon, and then cuts it up into small chunks, cooking the little cubes of fish that inevitably were less cooked than other parts of the fish, and mixes up the Tigerfish Cubes and the Salmon Cubes in a small bowl.

Even More Elaborate Fish Thing: a bowl consisting of cubes of fish, plus bacon-wrapped Fishron, which I suppose is Fishron-wrapped Fishron
Not sure about stats, considering it's being fed to Mari

He walks over to Mari with the Even More Elaborate Fish Thing, and sets it down in front of her
"Hey I made another meal out of Fishron. And some other fish too.

@TFToast
1.A third clone of Enerald asks Toast what he means by there being Mythril in Zone 3...

3."oh. Should we go there and find it? I feel like it would be better with more than one person, especially considering my lack of HP"

5. "nice" Enerald walks over to Future!Toast "considering you were here before me, I think you should probably lead"

7. Enerald nods, and pulls out a shovel from... somewhere "I believe eco-friendly means will be the best here" he begins digging

9. Enerald nods and continues digging

I spawn at I3, move to H7, whack the CHGlyph, and retreats to I5.
