No update today... but I have something special prepared! Due to the two-year anniversary of Chaos coming up soon, I wanted to do something. However, given that we're in the final boss battle and it'd be weird to interrupt things, I decided to do something that isn't entirely gameplay related to Chaos itself.

[big]Behold! Hollowed Temple 2.0![/big]
(For real this time!)

Download Here

Controls are explained in game, but I guess I'll mention them here, too.

Arrows / WASD: Move
Z / J: Shoot
LShift / K: Slow Movement / Focus
P: Pause
M: Mute
R: Quick Reset

WASD controls normally won't work! To enable them, you'll need to press 2. Why? Movement exploits. Post the code at the end of Hardmode (triggered by pressing 1) for bragging rights!

Tips and Tricks:
Moving slowly is in the game for a reason! It'll help you dodge bullets when there's a bunch of them within close quarters.
Having audio can help for a few phases; especially 4 and 10. [small](Sorry, Pope!)[/small]
Phase 10 isn't a bug; it's a feature.

Hopefully, you'll enjoy the game! Thanks for sticking around so long in DTG: Chaos; it's made me happier beyond belief! [small](also rip tazz's theory about this being directly related to the final boss of chaos)[/small]

Hezetor blinks for a moment at the response of Omo, the way she says it appears as if she was talking of cooking and driving in terms of useful daily life skills.

"Yes, indeed. You don't look surprised, where you expecting this from me, or simply already knew that this is what those that sit on thrones do?"

After that he observes the ordeal of Roxxanne and the soul of Zetta. After a small laugh at the whole event he comments.

"Oh, wait, now I remember, this was some fool that was obsessed by the idea of gaining his own soul, and he managed to keep it for only a second! Incredible."

To properly enjoy the moment he takes a slip at a cup of red wine that appeared out of nowhere.

---

While he is at that he responds to Auth and his friendly clone of ink that talks a lot, an holographic sphere appears next to those two an illusion that projects the in real time image of Hezetor, a close up to his face in this case.

"Oh, about that Eternal Author, I'm willing to buy that soul from you. As a payment... whatever you shall ask I may provide, let's say that I'll make a wish of yours become reality, a better deal than throwing it away, or letting a fool eat it away."

<TURN TWO-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE>
Somewhere inside the Operative's head, Chloe meets with a projection of the Operative.

ga: O-Oh, hey!
ga: So you know I'm here. Which probably shouldn't be a surprise, but eh.
ga: You're really liking this, aren't you? I am, too. Kinda warm, fuzzy, empowering... you know.

She takes a moment to take in the varying thoughts around her. Thoughts of fear, pessimism...

ga: I think... I think we'll be fine.
ga: Zetta hasn't been a problem for us; freaking Zetta!
ga: I was scared to come up here at first, but seeing how we're doing now... I think we can handle just about anything now!
ga: Well, anything short of the Butterfly, maybe. But we'd probably stand a chance...
ga: But anyway, you... you're really fine with me being in here?
ga: I know that you have secrets you want to keep. Like your name.
ga: I-I... still want to know what it is.
ga: If you're not fine with that... please stop me. I'll understand if you don't want me to know, still.

If she's not held back, Chloe heads to the past-centric section of the Operative's head in an attempt to find things out. Mostly the part about his name. But maybe she'll go and snoop about and learn about the Mainframe a bit more. Back at Zone 1, Omo doesn't really have anything to say to Hezetor... so she remains silent.

<BATTLE: ZETTA, TURN FIVE>
Keep going! Only... two more phases, once this one dies! Shouldn't be too tough. Just be wary of the clones; read up on Zetta's new moves and passives so that you know how to deal with them. If you don't have a clone... you'll probably be fine. But for those of you with clones, go and read those new passives! Or suffer. Your choice.

DCCCV sees what's happened to Nia.\

"Oh my gorilla."

Somewhere else, in another time, in another place, a young man wearing a mistcloak suddenly starts screaming in the middle of the battlefield he is currently standing on.

But in this current fight, I cast my first spell, Psycho Link. I link myself to Zetta, so that any damage I take will be reflected to him.

I then run like I never have before to Q12.

Somewhere else, out there, in the Tower Unite, a wisp appears, in front of a brown-haired man's face.

"What is it, little guy?"

The wisp creates a rectangle frame made out of fire, and then a screen-like display flickers in. It appears to be... a Twitch chat. With a mirror-like replication of him next to it.

"Okay, now what are these guys saying?"

"ROXXOR IS DEAD"
"ROXXOR REMAINS DEAD AND GOLDEN FREDDY HAS KILLED IT"
"thank gorilla"
"well at least theres puppetoast to look forward to"
"The FitnessGram Pacer Test..."
"hello, food?"
"WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ROXXY"
"hopefully she'll be dead"
"RRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
"HELP US, TERRY
YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE"
"DON'T HELP THEM
IT IS MUCH BETTER THIS WAY"

Something like that. Terry stares at the screen, confused.
"I have a feeling that Tazz is going to need to prepare a lot of shorts.
Keith, come here!"

Keith pops into visibility. The replication compensates for this, by adding him to the picture.
"What do you- what is that?"
"Apparently it's a stream. Of us. Right now.
Looks like we're famous."

"WHAT WILL YOU DO"

Terry starts hearing the messages in his head, as they are sent. He starts getting closer to losing it.
"KEITH, DO SOMETHING!"

Keith then breathes in.
"I'll be working on something to fix that problem.
Do you guys like... erm... chat things? Because this is another one.
But it... uh... can also teleport you to... uh... a bakery. We don't know which one yet.
We'll give the first copies to Auth and Roxxanne. If we ever find them again."

The Twitch chat calms down. Terry tries to process what his older brother just said.
"...you better deliver on that. Or the Barnes odds of you becoming The Nonexistent Keith will skyrocket, preferably at the hands of those guys."

Keith shudders lightly, and starts getting to work.

Dimitri moves to L16, then drops a debuffcleanse heal on Ette.
Dimiheart moves to L17.

Move to M15.

Emerald stabstabs Zetta, because he can do that. "Moving in order to stab someone is for the people who don't have a teleporting knife" He also uses his knifes ability to stab the Origin's Embrace for MOAR damage, then retreats to D16

Originally posted on 2017-09-08 00:43:00

Cloanne is forced to move to O8. "Zetta, you are only digging a deeper hole for yourself!"

Roxxanne-the real deal-grants Chlorin 100% accuracy. She then moves to L12, triple-punches Zetta, and moves to O11.

Temanne double-punches Zetta (triple-punches if applicable), and then moves to D11.

Temmie Hero will Herobow Zetta in the face, move to D14, Spinflake, and then move to D12 to not die.

The Glitch Skeleton will move to H16 and take a shot at Zetta.

Crystal is unlikely to return to the land of DTG, so he's not gonna move on his own, so he's dead. there is no reason not to make use of him, though. Crystal shall be force-brainwashed into moving to N15 and targeting Zetta with some Understanding. Namely; HP down 20, Curse and Depressed. I'm not sure I can control Crystal's clone or Crystem with this, but if so-Crystem will follow up with Understanding to Burn, Badly Poison and tick down Zetta's HP by another 20, while Crystal's Clone will move down to E8, so he will use Betrayal on 15. It's mean-but that means Crystal doesn't turn into Zetta food, which is worse.

Peeps with clones-keep out of their attack range if you can and try to keep them in a straight line between yourself to make it as clear as possible where a Mirror Blast will be to avoid that. Otherwise, keep fighting.

As I have control over DarkSide (given over Discord) to make sure he doesn't sit around and do nothing-I will move DarkSide up to G15 and use Historia on 15, reverting her to last turn's position and status-aka Pre Opin-Glyph. This will also put her in Range 1 of Crysclone, to be 'Betrayed.' TemSide will eat a Jack-o-Melon (remember those?), move to I16, and do a Razorblade Typhoon on Zetta.

"Yo, Chaos!" Roxxanne says. "Where's the last Crimson Scale? We blew up nine of ten on the way here... Tenth's missing. Uh, wait, is that even important?"

Before Emerald can stab anybody, Lyra moves to G15, and calmly whistles...
as explosives go off into Zetta's face. Primed was applied! Lyra then runs back down to I18.

JOE's like "well, that could have gone better, but it went ok.".
then 15 moves next to him.
"WOW THATS ReaLLY CLOsE uM"
then 15 gets punted over a space.
"oh, looks like I'm safe from my own deadly evil abomination. yay!"
I run screaming to D8 as srovy moves to C15 and uses surrogate meditate with me as a target again. he dies, I can just summon some new abomination ally.
as my action, I rummage around in the bag for a few moments, before accidentally failing to stand in place and not fall over, spilling out an earth and metal glyph. the two roll across the bumpy, battle ravenged ground, and slow to a stop near Rage. I look up from my place in a pile of... mud? please be mud?, and grin. light flashes in my eyes, shining silver and a light-leaching brown, and spikes, many of them, rise from the ground, nearly touching the skin of Rage, but not quite. the spikes are juuuuust below them...
and rocks fly through the air, a loud whistling from them, and coat Rage. rage is trapped, pummeled, and cannot move... and it begins to fall, slowly and inexorably, towards the deadly spikes. 12-12? damage dealt, slow whatever applied, and the tile beneath the now-immobile Rage transformed into a spike trap. (deals 18-18? damage to those that end their turn on it.)

Toast moves to L13, and does the following:

Action 1
Promise Upheld:
Fossil's Guidance.
Coded Heart (self).
Chairnado Spinstrike.

Action 2
Promise Upheld:
Coded Heart (self).
Fossil's Guidance.
Chairnado Spinstrike.

She then retreats to M13.

Might change this later.

Chlorin pulls down hit hat a bit.

Time for a gool ol' shootout.

Chlorin whips out his revolver and uses Quickdraw, firing shots at Zetta, Insanity, Rage, both Chaos Sabers and the Freddy Memory, fanning the hammer to ease the process.

>E008, move to P12, use Wave Pattern against Zetta. Retreat Q11 (Ire remember my bonus damage from spawned units)

Mabuz moves to J16 and casts a bouncing Grim Bolt at Battlefury.

Battle: Okay let's get some shit sorted because I'm kinda like in that state where it's like being drunk but also you're not drunk

Pre: teleport to G14
1: slap Zetta's shit
2: slap Zetta's shit again
3: drop a radiance on whoever is near my position that needs healing and if there's nobody then just drop it on Zetta's face
4: oh piss I forgot to spawn things
5: let loose the blades if they'll do a good but hold back if they'll do a bad (like hurting 15 because I don't wanna piss her off or hurting allies somehow)
6: time to be the ballsy man and... hmm... Okay this probably isn't legal but I wanna spawn the blades at I12 and J13, both aimed at J12, because IDK maybe they'll activate instantly if their travel distance is 0 squares?
7: and again but spawn at I13 and K13. I mean, it doesn't really matter where I put them since things break down this turn.
8: refresh Static Shield
9: refresh Flaming Circle
10: refresh Counter
End: move to M18, prepare to safely disengage Embrace form and initiate recovery. Note that, since there are airways, we'll get pushed away from the wall. If I'm misjudging the situation, well... erm... look, I just want Chloe to be safe, no matter what happens to me in the process. Just arrange it so she'll be safe. I'm wanting to have it so she ends up on M17 by the time In The Vents rolls around, since that will keep her safe from the attack. I don't care where I end up to make that happen. I'm more expendable than her.

Oppy's Mind: It seems as though Oppy somewhat agrees with her first sentiments, the feeling of warmth spreading a little further in influence over his mind, somewhat pushing the anger and the fear off to the side to an extent. Yay for the warm fuzzy feelings. They be nice. Reassurance also does a part to help him calm himself further, and it seems that the projection of himself is now smiling faintly. He doesn't do that often outside of here, for reasons. Reasons which I am too lazy to explain so kek. Anywho, the question of letting Chloe roam around. There's a pause.

I'm quite fine with it. Admittedly, I haven't gone by my given name in a long time, so you might have to go do some digging to find it. The past will hold what you seek... somewhere or other. I kinda have a poor memory at times. It might take a fair few memories.

When Chloe naturally heads off to the memories Oppy holds of his past, what she would find is that she's somehow ended up in what appears to be the viewing room of a number of different flashbacks. There's also a TV screen, naturally. Funny how his memories don't seem to manifest in the same way as those in other mindscapes do... rather, things are quite meticulously kept, with an array of tapes ready to view. But hold on. There's already something in there.
