Okay...you can have...Galvix. He's one of the most injured. I think. Moderately is something I don't remember the severity of. Oh, and, what should I do this turn? I'm drawing a total blank, here.

@Speed A: I'll tell you that Mikoto really doesn't like Speed, but not pointing a weapon at him was good for PR. Well, for more than the obvious reasons. Also... Uh... Sorry... Neo went off to find Cynder, and I needed him to find Mikoto in the middle of talking to Cynder, so I was imagining that Mikoto confronted her after she left Speed. ... I probably should have specifically said that.
@Speed B: Sure. Have whoever you want go talk to Mikoto. He might not like it.
@Speed C: It's not that he has a German accent; it's that English isn't his first language. His first language is something I made up and it doesn't use the 'vuh' or hard 'duh' sounds. Although I should really think more about the voice of the characters, but I'm not that good with voices. I sorta imagined him having a slight Japanese (I think) accent, but steadier and with him not stressing the v sounds enough.
@Speed D: Oh, I should also ask. Did you just give Cynder a bunch of your super alloy stuff?

I'll launch a veritable hurricane of knives at the Godmodder. And Water Elemental will taunt (also yes Tabbune you got the percent right. Assuming mister Godmodder doesn't come in and change that).
3x +1 to talist
People, what can I do to help?
You have to ask? Pick a target and KILL IT HARD. Or heal Godzilla. One of the two.
Well...Godzilla's got that thing...maybe if I pooled my entire effort into it.
Actions:
All of the gathered Aspects channel a field of restorative energy, healing and shielding Godzilla. Shadow continues by attempting to weaken the Incinerate Flesh spell. Galvix lets Hunter pick him up, while Neo shields the rest of the Aspects.
Sorry, not much time. I hope this helps.
Plus three to Talist.

The Anti-God Machine starts by using it's Mana Laser. As it is about to connect, a golden barrier appears out of nowhere and blocks it. The laser deals 200000 damage total. Infinity tries to interrupt the Fel Fireball. Interrupt 1/3. D 4 C attacks the Mistress of Pain for 10000 damage.
Jon respawns.
(Piono: I meant please don't use the name Alpha and not point out that it's the Godmodder.)
(Sacred: Because you took a more useful action later this turn, I'm ignoring this one.)
Leishi puts 5 Blossom Shields on the Water Elemental. Talist/Wilson tries to interrupt the Fel Fireball. Interrupt 2/3. (Sure you can have Uther. His abilities is the same as in Heroes of the Storm. He has a single target massively, a Wave of Light that can target up to 5 targets with 2 turn CD, healing friendlies and damaging enemies, a stun with 3 turn CD, and an Immunity bubble with 6 turn CD.)
Speed and Fira attacks Jaraxxus for 5000. Hunter attacks Jaraxxus for 7000. Hunter then picks up Galvix and protects him.
Kathryn activates her Disapparation Emblem, becoming Immune for the turn and being able to attack more targets next turn.
Jindra attacks the Godmodder with a hurricane of knives. The Godmodder summons a tornado of his own and scatters the knives. a knive hits Carmen, dealing 1 damage to her. (...Which I'm tempted to do because it can just tank until the end of eternity. I can't pull out a 500k damage burst out of nowhere if you keep taunting. Is it okay if I "bounce" the Water Elemental?)
(Sacred: List of things you can do: Kill Jaraxxus, tank the Mistress/Jaraxxus, deal with the Incinerate Flesh on Godzilla, interrupt the Fel Fireball (well, next time), attack the Godmodder so he doesn't attack, summon an entity for more dps.)
The Aspects heal Godzilla's Incinerate Flesh for 18000.
—
End of Turn:
Uther heals Godzilla for 15000, but 9000 of it is absorbed by Incinerate Flesh. Incinerate Flesh is cured. Ajani uses his +1 to call an Ajani's Sunstriker to the field. Carmen decides to use a fancy nuclear-powered lazer blaster thingimajigy at Jaraxxus, dealing 20000 damage. The Lost Vikings both attack the Mistress of Pain for 15000. Godzilla attacks the Mistress for 50000.
Venusaur, Blastoise, and Charizard does a combination attack on Jaraxxus with their attacks, dealing 65000 damage. Valentine and Double joins and deals 13000 damage, gaining 1 tension. You can tell that I'm getting lazy.
Jaraxxus attacks the Water Elemental, breaking all of it's Blossom Shields and dealing 500 damage to the Elemental... yeah...
Jaraxxus casts Infernal Eruption, summoning an Infernal Volcano. It will summon 3 Infernals over three turns.
The Mistress of Pain attacks Venusaur for 20000.
The Godmodder raises his staff and shines a very bright light. The entities and players are unaffected, but the Gods are disoriented. They will not act unless they are controlled by a player.
The Volcano erupts and wounds John Egbert.
Usual stuff happens.

I'd like Blastoise, if that's okay.
For some reason, I expected that to be more... spectacular.
Shut up!
Anyway, I still have that other ability available.
The Anti-God Machine uses Mass Drain and targets Jaraxxus, the Mistress of Pain, and the Infernal. I use one of my Whitesnake Discs on Jaraxxus. D4C smacks a PG.

Kathryn activates Originality, giving the entirety of this attack a 50 post charge boost. She is splitting her damage between the Godmodder, Jaraxxus and the Mistress of Pain, just to be clear.
"Not Omega Flowey, huh? I have just the cure for that." Kathryns says. She clicks her fingers, and a portal appears near her, before out pops...
...
...
The OFW-Mech from the Ascension Craft Godmodding War, in a completely different timeline.
"SOUL TARGETING SYSTEM LOADED. TWELVE SOUL COLOURS FOUND. ATTACK SYSTEM LOADING...
LOADING...
LOADING...
pactDatabase, aawaveundertaleDatabase found." Kathryn stands back, and lets the giant flower mech do its thing. How did she even get that? It got good a while back, and as far as my magical narrator knowledge goes, she's never accessed that timeline, or happens to know Alicia in anyway. Whatever. We now switch to Homestuck narration.
> Kathryn: Be the giant flower mech.
You are now the OFW-Mech Mk. 1. Your interests include SERVING ALICIA, SER-
> OFW-Mech: Cut to the chase. [REDACTED INTERESTS THAT ARE SIMPLY SERVING ALICIA REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN], DAMAGING PEOPLE NAMED RICHARD, BURNING WARLORDS NAMED JARAXXUS, and EATING WIMPY DEMONS. There is a WARLORD named JARAXXUS right in front of you. You know what to do here.
> OFW-Mech: Turn on your systems, and start wrecking n00bs.
I switch back to my usual style of narration, because I don't have pictures to increase the Homestuck effect. The OFW-Mech leaps into the air and starts by using Your Best Nightmare, and switching to Dark Red. The Godmodder, the Mistress of Pain and Jaraxxus notice a static blaring through their vision, becoming their sight, hearing and mind, before they feel simple dread. Dread for what is to come. Dread for what is here.
Their life force simply disappears into thin air, as the OFW-Mech plays Flowey's laugh.
"Wow, this thing is better than I thought. I'm impressed. I mean, since I'm running it, it's obviously good, but-" Kathryn prepares to say, before the OFW-Mech knocks her in the head, preventing her from speaking.
"HUSH HUSH ANNOYING GIRL." The mechanical beast proclaims, before going into the Pact attacks. This is going to be fun! First, OFW-Mech activates The Wire. Electricity flows through it, before massive sparks of energy start to empower it, more so than the original due to its nature as a mech.
Next, Cactastrophe. The OFW-Mech generates metal cactus snake like things, before sending them at our dear victims. They begin to consume and tear through the victims, before they return to the beast. The OFW-Mech points at the trio, before seeds rain down on Jaraxxus and co, before it uses Petal Dance. Massive waves of seeds begin to slam into Jaraxxus and co. That's really simple.
What is not so simple is Metaphysical. Waves of lavender energy rise from the Mech, before reality starts to shift. Jaraxxus and co.'s physical beings begin to suffer, while the OFW-Mech laments that Metaphysical can't mess that much up here. How annoying. What OFW does do is mess around with Jaraxxus' and the Mistress' resistances to invert their massive resistance to fire into a massive vulnerability.
OFW then drops the evil combo of Pyrokinesis, causing massive flamethrowers to choke Jaraxxus and co into a corner, before dropping Massive Annihilation Wave. It opens its maw, before blue energy hurtles straight towards the Godmodder, already weakened by the onslaught. It likely hits straight on, and sends him into a wall.
But wait, the OFW-Mech wants to show you more fun! It promptly loads up Dust Devil, which isn't a special but it is powerful enough to waste two more than usual of Omega Flowey's actions back in 0! The dust and debris formed from the War of Gods here starts circling around Omega Flowey, before it turns into a maelstrom of death and destruction, of chaos and disorder, of pain and suffering, and slams into Jaraxxus, cutting through his skin. The OFW-Mech then gets back, before activating It's Kill! It's kill for our Pro-Godmodders here in dead, as the OFW-Mech creates three balls made of the same energy as Your Best Nightmare, before they slam into each member of our trio, destroying the ground under them. The OFW-Mech finishes this hell off with Desecration. It spins around, again, and again, and again, before it slams into the trio while they are distracted from being in midair. The dread remains from It's Kill, and if they were affected by it, they likely fail to resist as the mechanical beast slams into them.
It crashes into the earth, before attempting to repiece itself together. Due to prior damage, it fails, and explodes outwards, rubbing salt in the wound that Jaraxxus, the Godmodder and the Mistress just experienced.
(That was really tempting it, and I don't have control over the Pact, so I brought in something I do have control over. Even if I GM it.)
Originality (50/50) COMPLETE!
Life and Death (8/75)
ASSISTS SOON I SWEAR
+2 to Infinity, and +1 Speed.

Basically waiting on Speed and Talist for both main RP segments. I'm making very quiet posts, here...
When Galvix is offered a ride, he grins, literally jumping at the opportunity, as he hops up and leaps onto the tank, grinning excitedly to Hunter.
"Wait,What? AFreeRideInABigSpaceTank? NoWay! That'sAwesome! C'mon,LetMeInAlready! Let'sDoThisThing!"
He enters spark form and quickly zips through the smallest crack in the door, quickly manifesting back in the passenger's seat, and he begins glancing around at a rapid pace, still grinning excitedly.
"Hey,ThisIsAGreatRide! Comfortable,Too! Where'dYouGetIt? IThinkIt'sTheBestTankI'veSeen! ThanksForTheRide! IThoughtYouWereCoolBefore,ButNowThisMakesYouEvenCooler!"
He blinks.
"Er,Wait...AmITalkingTooMuch? ICanTryToBeQuietIfYouWant. IKnowTheLastThingWeNeedNowIsDistractedDriving."
Actions:
Shadow:
Shadow frowns, pondering.
"So...I guess I have a few choices to make...do I actively fight, or do I hang back and support? If either, how, exactly?"
He shrugs.
"Eh, I think I'll play on the offensive for now."
He focuses, draws the Pummel Gun, and launches a pair of rounds at the Mistress of Pain.
"Here's some pain for you, ya crazy Demon!"
Light:
Light channels a beam of unfiltered solar energy toward the Mistress of Pain, attempting to burn her.
"Just as the sun both burns with an intense heat and emits a spectacularly radiant light, so am I able to do the same! Cruel demon, you'll never conquer this world!"
Spirit:
Spirit heals Leishi, growing a collection of healing herbs that provide a brief regeneration period.
Arkus:
Arkus channels a spell, sending a flurry of blades, composed of equal parts strong wind and powerful Magic, hurtling toward the Mistress.
"You shall not recover so easily from this assault!"
Galvix:
@Tabbune / Speed: So, what does the tank's passenger do?
Neo:
While everyone else takes on the Mistress of Pain, Neo channels an energy shield in order to protect the Aspects from damage.
Brontosaurus:
The Brontosaurus (It's back to being a real dinosaur, since last year, I heard,) attempts to continue the assault on the Mistress of Pain by trampling the demon, prepared to counter.
Scrap Golem:
If this is the Scrap Golem's last turn, it makes use of its final action by channeling the magical power animating it, and it rushes the Godmodder, attempting to detonate itself upon the PG forces, sending bladed shrapnel at the villain and his demonic minions.
But, if the Scrap Golem can survive another turn, it rushes the Godmodder anyway, though only to attack with a lunge, while also trying to gain Jaraxxus' attention, so that it can soak up the damage and put itself to use.
Plus three to Talist.

Mikoto's stuff
With Neo's literal answer, Mikoto just rolls his eyes, annoyed.
Hm. Yes. Forgife me for not hafing a biology major.
When asked about who's following him, he pauses and seems to do a dramatic stare over in no particular location.
It's someone named Inari.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! For the first time ever in a Tal-Co plot, a character both knows and can freely say the name of someone they have issues with! What incredible new innovation in storytelling. Although to be honest, the power of a name has been a big motif of my plot, even when there's nothing inherently magical about said name.
My exact issue with her is complicated, and I'd rather not go spouting off my life story to total strangers. Just know that I fought alongside her a long time ago. Now though, she calls me a traitor, and she's probably right. Still, I'd rather not kill me or my sister without a fight. And I intend to fight, down to my last second of borrowed time. ... Both of you remind me of Inari, sadly.
He motions his head towards Neo.
You remind me of how she sometimes likes to look, illusionej and nondescript.
Then he glares for an instant over his shoulder at Speed.
And you remind me of how she sometimes likes to act, totally conficted in her own ideas.
He then sighs.
And that's why I want Cynder to have as little connection to me as possible. If Inari knew, I fear Cynder would be a target in an attempt to get to me. I've managed to keep her identity from Inari up until now. Cynder isn't even her real name, you know. ... Did you just imply that you were trying to spy on Cynder? Hm. I'm quite lucky this wasn't a disaster. As much of one, anyway. My name is Mikoto, by the way. But it seems that your ally already knew that.
Mikoto stares intently at Neo's light antics until they're finished, possibly unable to do anything else. It seems to be the thing that stops the crying (I know I already said the crying was gone, but this is happening before that because RP), leaving the area in complete silence until he eventually speaks again.
The... reason is the same one Inari has for attacking Cynder. I don't think Wilson realizes how important he is in this. He's essentially protecting Inari. Does that answer your question? Probably not. And the 'big breakthrough' was that I believe I can get what I want without killing him. That's all.
Mikoto doesn't seem to appreciate having someone ask about his general well being.
No. Efen if you can help me, I'm not going to seek help from someone I jon't trust. I don't efen know your name. Besides, it's an annoyance at worst, and I'm not doing this for myself, so my own comfort isn't a priority. It never was.
I'm not sure if Cynder actually knows Neodyme, but let's say she does.
Huh? Who... Neo?
The indentations in the grass make careful, deliberate steps towards the lights of Neo.
I think I'm... alright. I'm just... surprised. I will be better if I can... just focus. ... I'm... so weak...Get it together...
She stumbles around randomly for a little while before trying to face Neo.
... Okay. ... I do not have anything to lose.
Mikoto grimaces slightly when asked, but agrees.
Fine. I don't have any issue with you specifically seeing Cynder. It's not a fery powerful illusion anyway.
If Neo does try to look at Cynder, then yes. She is where the grass indentations would indicate that she is. Also, she doesn't look hurt at all, just very afraid.
It's not that his motivation is to specifically avoid collateral damage. Due to Cynder's efforts against him, like staging her own loss against Wilson, he's decided that not killing anyone will probably be easier than killing anyone.
If quirks make strong characters, then I'm doing great because my characters have gotten progressively weirder over the course of this game. Kai is fairly normal, if somewhat volatile; Cynder manipulated her own memory just to lose a fight and also lied about her entire personality type, name, and motivations; Wilson is a massive Anti-Nihilist who embraces the utter meaninglessness and subjectivity of the universe; Leishi is bordering on outright insanity; and now Mikoto changed his mind about everything in 5 seconds, has trust/paranoia issues, and seems to be having random bouts of light paralysis. Oh well. Most of the time, it's better to be way too weird than it is to be way too plain.
Now on to Speeddddddddddddd...
With this whole thing about when Mikoto arrived, I'm sorry. That's my fault. I'm just trying to keep a lot of things running in parallel. I didn't say anything specifically, so I'm sorry for this misunderstanding. I didn't imagine Mikoto walking up to Cynder when she was obviously around other people because that would be idiotic for him to do on several different levels. Although, Cynder is around here.
Let's see... Obviously, Rose cannot know Mikoto's exact anatomy and physiology. However, something strange is that he's producing some carbon dioxide, but not as much as you'd expect from a vaguely mammalian creature his size. Also, the grass below him didn't react very much to his movements. And, when he does lock up, he's still functioning, just unable to say anything or move much.
This is similar to when Kai had copper deficiency, where I'm enjoying just throwing out random vague clues until you have enough to glue together into a conclusion. and when you get there, you'll see it as hilarious, heartwarming, or incredibly stupid and contrived. Or maybe some combination of the three. ... Hopefully not the last one so much.
Mikoto watches Speed walk out rather than his shadow, even more amused now.
Oh look. You're hiding behind your own illusions. I can't exactly blame you. Lies make far stiffer armor than any steel. But... it's so ironic. So wonderfully ironic.
He sighs and looks away slightly.
Then go ahead with your confiction and beliefe the first source for anything. It would make my job of not getting killed a lot easier. Hm.
On hearing Speed's offer of protection and lack of privacy, Mikoto scoffs.
Cynder. Stay down.
As Cynder complies even though she's invisible, Mikoto turns back to Speed.
I didn't come here for asylum. Plus, I'm not an idiot. I alreajy have my own means of protecting myself and my sister. If it will last is a different question. I'd also rather not leave my safety in the hands of anyone who could easily stab me in the back. Speaking of which, great. More scrutiny. My old partner in combat now is trying to kill me. So, I'm not going to trust anyone so easily. I don't care how much you trust them; I don't. There's no way I can. All I need is to speak with Cynder.
Okay... now that's done, I hope I can go play some Overwatch or Minecraft and still have time to summon an entity and get started on all my non-Mikoto RP. When in doubt as to how to introduce a character, summon them in as an entity. It works for me most of the time.
Action: The fel fireball is still going on, right? In that case, I use my action to finish countering it. Hopefully next turn I'll inflict some paaaaainnnnnnnnnn...

Infinity's Anti-God Machine uses Mass Drain on Jaraxxus, the Mistress of Pain, and the Infernal, dealing 16000 damage to each of them and healing the Machine for 9000. Infinity then attacks Jaraxxus with a Whitesnake Disc, dealing 10000 damage. The D 4 C smacks Jaraxxus for 10000. (Sure. Blastoise: Ice Beam: Deals 12000 damage. Small chance to stun. Hydro Pump: Deals 20000 damage. Small chance to miss. Dragon Pulse: Deals 15000 damage. Iron Defense: Takes 50% less damage this turn.)
Kathryn unleashes an Originality Strike so original that I don't know how to handle it, so... <Insert dramatic fanfare here>. The Godmodder takes 1 damage, Jaraxxus takes 50000 damage, and the Mistress also takes 50000.
Piono uncreatively bash Jaraxxus for 3000. His characters follow for an additional 6000.
Shadow draws his Pommel Gun and fires at the Mistress, landing the last hit. +2 Alchemy. Light attacks Jaraxxus for 5000 because the Mistress is dead. Spirit grows herbs that heals Leishi for 3000. Galvix hangs out in the VIXIV (Passenger is basically retreating from the battlefield. You can't be attacked, but can't do anything). The Brontosaurus tramples over the Infernal due to the Mistress being dead. 5000 damage. The Scrap Golem rushes to the Godmodder... and immediately got smashed. The shrapnel hits Jaraxxus for 5000 damage.
Jondanger stops existing for a while, before backstabbing Jaraxxus for 9000 damage.
Leishi shields herself and the Water Elemental, granting 3 Shields each. (No. The Water Elemental is the OP thing here.) Talist cancels the Fel Fireball. (Welp. It was supposed to go off last turn, but I guess it's okay because it's my bad.)
—
End of Turn:
The gods are still helplessly confused.
Jaraxxus casts Nether Power, increasing his damage by 20%. (Okay, maybe calling his auto "melee" is a bad idea.)
Jaraxxus casts Touch of Jaraxxus on the Anti-God Machine, dealing 4000 damage per turn for 12 turns. Infinity and Speed is afflicted by Curse of the Nether, taking 4000 damage per turn for 15 turns.
The Infernal Volcano erupts, spawning an Infernal and Wounding Kathryn.
The old Felflame Infernal attacks, dealing 6000 damage to Venusaur.

Oh my god... That'll take a while.
Side note: If you see the EoTB completed with a "Usual Stuff Happens", but there's still the Incomplete Update thing, it's pretty safe to assume I just messed up and forgot to delete that part. Why am I saying this? Because I'm planning to use the current model for updating.
edited 30th Jun '16 7:03:05 AM by Tabbune
Edit- Wait... does this still get counted? I posted it without seeing Tabbune's post. ... Well, now I know about what time (for me) Tabbune posts.
Edit Edit: Well, if I get another day to work on this, maybe I can add some more to it. There are a couple flaws in it...
Edit edit edit: Redesigned the mechanics slightly so that fusing higher tier stuff is more rewarding.
Edit edit edit edit: Might as well make this be my official action post for this turn...
SUMMONING ENTITY BECAUSE IT'S WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT OF ME AFTER THEY GAVE ME SO MANY +1'S. SPENDING 80/120 CHARGE PLUS THAT FREE 40 FROM A LONG TIME AGO. BUT FIRST, RP STUFF ABOUT SAID ENTITY.
Off in the distance, away from the general weirdness of the area, there's a rather large gold, orange, and red hyena or wolf like creature heading towards said general weirdness. She was prepared for and expecting a fight, so was clad in full gold and yellow samurai armor that, when under direct sunlight, was so shiny, reflective, and polished that it was hard to look at directly without squinting. The hyena didn't seem to mind the weight or light from the armor and moved swiftly, its fur looking like the molten gold still swirling inside a half cooled mold. Seeing, you know, Jaraxxus, the hyena stops and quickly identifies which side is anti-godmodder based on which one has more people on it. Deciding to put its search on hold in order to help, it proudly announces to anyone nearby that...
The light! Of the dawn! Has arrived!
You know, I'm kinda annoyed that Kai happens to be a wolf because Inari was supposed to be the wolf. So instead I'm trying to retcon her slightly into looking more like a hyena.
Then Inari runs off to go murder demons.
Hah... this... took me longer to write than I expected. I started with a fairly simple idea, but had to tweak it a lot to (hopefully) not make it completely broken. I think it turned out pretty nice. Prepare for super abridged stellar physics!
Inari is a bit of a glass cannon entity, both because that's the kind of entity we need right now and it fits for her.
Inari: HP: 75,000/75,000
Matter:
Hydrogen: 6
Helium: 4
Skip a few elements
Tier 0 - (E:1.5) Vanadium: 10
Tier 1 - (E:1) Chromium: 0
Tier 2 - (E:0) Manganese: 0
Tier 3 - (E:-1) Iron: 0
Tier 4 - (E:-2) Cobalt: 0
Tier 5 - (E:-4) Nickel: 0
Tier 6 - (E:-8) Copper: 0
Tier 7 - (E:-16) Zinc: 0
And so on. There's actually no hard limit to how far down the periodic table Inari can go, but with the energy cost doubling every time, Inari never made it past Zinc in my simulations. Plus, based on how I've set this up, there's literally no reason to ever fuse Zinc with anything.
Energy: 5
Important Passive:
Chemical Playground: At the end of every turn, Inari must fuse as much of her elements as possible by using all of her supply of hydrogen and helium. Fusing works by combining one unit of an element (other than either hydrogen or helium) with a unit of either hydrogen or helium. Fusing an element with hydrogen will bump it up one tier, while fusing an element with helium will bump it up 2 tiers. The E number before each element is how much energy that element will give or take to fuse. (So, every time she fuses Vanadium with something, she gains 1.5 energy. Every time she fuses Iron with something, she loses 1 energy. Etc). After fusing all elements possible, Inari resets to having 6 hydrogen and 4 helium.
Less Important Passives
Collapsing: If Inari starts the fusing process with a negative amount of energy, she'll take damage equal to 5,000 * her energy dept, which means trying to fuse anything when she has -15 energy or less will outright OHKO her.
Siphon: When Inari gets healed, she can choose to ignore the healing and instead gain energy equal to (the amount healed) / 3,000, rounded down. When Inari gains shielding (*cough* maybe from Leishi *cough*), she can choose to ignore the shielding and instead gain Vanadium equal to (the shielding HP) / 4,000, rounded down again. Finally, if she gets buffed with a lingering effect, she can have it last X fewer turns and in exchange have X less Helium or Hydrogen for this turn. Having Helium/Hydrogen can actually be quite bad for her later on.
Attacks:
Shining Lance: Deals 28,000 base damage and gives Inari 2 Vanadium. I'll be spamming this 90% of the time. If Inari chooses to, she can expend matter to boost the damage of this attack. When she does so, add (tier number of matter spent) * 1,250 * (# spent) to the attack's damage, rounded to the nearest thousand, and up to a maximum of 20,000 bonus damage. EG: if she spends 4 Cobalt on this attack, she deals 20,000 bonus damage because Cobalt is tier 4, and 4 * 4 * 1,250 = 20,000.
Solar Light: Heals for 20,000 and gives Inari 2 Vanadium. If she targets herself with this, she cannot use the Siphon passive with it as that would probably open up an infinite loophole exploit. If Inari chooses to, she can expend matter to boost the healing of this ability in the exact same way as Shining Lance, but here the maximum amount of boost is only 15,000.
Supernova: Inari can only use this attack while at negative energy or at less than 25,000 HP, and it murders stuff. Splits the damage between up to 3 enemies and expends ALL of Inari's matter. Each matter spent adds (tier number of matter spent) * 1,350 to the attack's end damage. This attack can deal a maximum of 175,000 total damage. (Note: I ran a simulation, and this attack ended up taking about 6-8 turns to execute and dealt 130,000 damage. ... So... the game will probably end before that.) If she deals between 60,000 and 150,000 damage with this attack, she also summons a White Dwarf entity.
White Dwarf: 10,000/10,000 HP. Has a basic attack that deals 5,000 damage. Whenever this entity is healed, it instead gains one quarter of the amount healed as base attack damage instead of gaining health.
For every Nickel or higher tier matter spent on Supernova, the White Dwarf has +1,000 max hp. For every Copper or higher tier matter spent on Supernova, the White Dwarf has +500 base damage. For every Zinc or higher tier matter spent on Supernova, the White Dwarf will heal a random injured ally for 500 whenever it attacks. These buffs can only give the White Dwarf up to 20,000 extra HP and 7,500 extra base damage.
If Inari deals over 150,000 damage with Supernova, instead of a White Dwarf, she'll summon a Black Hole.
Black Hole: 20,000/20,000 HP. Has a basic attack that deals 3,000 damage. Whenever this entity is healed, it instead gains one quarter of the amount healed as base attack damage instead of gaining health. This entity deals 2,500 extra damage if it attacks the same target it attacked last turn.
For every Nickel or higher tier matter spent on Supernova, the Black Hole has +1,000 max hp. For every Copper or higher tier matter spent on Supernova, the Black Hole has +500 base damage. If Inari spent at least 1 Zinc on Supernova, the Black Hole can watch up to 3 allies. Whenever a watched ally takes damage from an enemy, the Black Hole will counter attack the enemy for 1,000 damage per Zinc spent on Supernova. These buffs can only give the Black Hole up to 20,000 extra HP and 7,500 extra base damage.
After using this attack, all her values reset to their default. Except her HP, of course.
—————————————-
Hah... Other... Entity... Actions... ... It's so late...
Self Reminder: Wave of Light that can target up to 5 targets with 2 turn CD, healing friendlies and damaging enemies, a stun with 3 turn CD, and an Immunity bubble with 6 turn CD
Uther will whack a full hp felflame infernal. Inari targets the wounded felflame infernal with Shining Lance for 28k damage and gaining 2 Vanadium. (Both of these attacks go to Jaraxxus instead if said target is dead first)
Inari's Personal Stuff (If Tabbune doesn't nerf/simplify her somehow)
Fuse Log: Gained 2 Vanadium, fused 6 into Chromium, 4 into Manganese. Gained 15 energy from said fusions.
Tier 0 - (E:1.5) Vanadium: 2
Tier 1 - (E:1) Chromium: 6
Tier 2 - (E:0) Manganese: 4
Tier 3 - (E:-1) Iron: 0
Tier 4 - (E:-2) Cobalt: 0
Tier 5 - (E:-4) Nickel: 0
Tier 6 - (E:-8) Copper: 0
Tier 7 - (E:-16) Zinc: 0
Energy: 20
Bookkeeping Station: got +5 total, +2 from action. Speedon
Sacred Spirit
Infinity
75/120
1/120
Leishi: Chi: 45/100 (+15?)
Shielded: Shadow *2, Kathryn *2, DDDDC *1, 765 Pro *2, Water Ele *3, Herself *3
Accumulated Blossom Bonus: 0%
... Crap. I was hoping that at least 2 blossom shields would break and then I'd destroy Jaraxxus with Seven Dragon Roar. Oh well. The Infernals make great Resonant Cycle targets. So, Leishi targets a full HP (or close to full) Infernal with Resonant Cycle, dealing 60,000 damage thanks to her damage buff from blossom shields. That should one shot it, and it's not even counting the Madness bonus. If this does kill an infernal, Leishi gets some Chi back and heals for 10,000.

edited 30th Jun '16 9:55:35 PM by Talist
There's a Youtube Channel... I do some stuff with it...@Talist: Neo's very analytical, so I can imagine he'd spot the same discrepancies that Rose did. He did look Mikoto over in return when he was inspecting his light form, after all. And are you implying Mikoto's a cyborg, or even a complete android? Er, felinoid? They really need a word for lifelike animal robots...
Oh man... Missed it again. There's a goddamn surprise.
Tabbune, good luck with Talist's enitity! We'll see you in a few years!
I wonder how Inari would affect VIXIV... It's made of unknown metal (I'm gonna assume something that's right about as durable as Tungsten Carbide. Probably a hell of a lot stronger). Some sort of super-radioactive crystal as a power source... Hmm... OH, and Copper and Lead. Hunter has too many bullets. Literally billions of Bullets.
Nothing, Sacred. The Passenger is completely invincible when it comes to attacks (at least until VIXIV's HP runs out... not likely at the moment) but as a trade-off can't attack. I... thought I said that.
So... I'm gonna go with Sacred first.
Nah, it's fine-
Hunter cuts himself off, realizing what he was about to say to say. It's wrong.
I was gonna call you kid, but you're several millennia older than I am. It's fine, though.
Ah! Greetings! My name is VIX-529. May I ask who you are?
And don't worry about distracting the driver, either. While I'm in control, this guy stops me from damaging anything if I'm distracted.
Not likely, though. Sir Hunter Lucifer Wright: Rank X Pilot.
Thank you... Anyway.
Looking around, VIXIV's interior is considerably much larger than it looks. There are about 10 comfy looking seats -
At Hunter's request.
Thank you. Seriously.
and the have Cup Holders and Drink Dispensers and all sorts of completely unnecessary technology.
And it-
Please. Put a metaphorical sock in it. It was always like this.
The amount of tech could never be supported by current energy production. So, moving onto the Control Panel...
A normal person would think this:
OH MY GOD SO MANY BUTTONS I NEED TO PRESS THEM ALL!
Please refrain from pressing any buttons. It could cause disastrous effects.
A couple of cables are attached to Hunter's hand... now, what on Earth could those be for? Hunter barely seems to have noticed.
Galvix was Aspect of Energy, but Neo was Metal to memory.
Galvix should be able to feel/see the energy being generated in the generator of the Tank.
Fun Fact: It's completely green energy! No effect on the environment.
And the energy in the cables are completely different from both the Generator's and Hunter's hand.
What could it be? Cough, cough, UNDERTALE spoilers, cough cough
'''Okay. Time to get something done. Anything. Just not write to Buckley.
Hunter flips a switch. The cannon of VIXIV retracts.
529? Tell me the current progress of EX-1.
Ready, and you've intuitively flipped the right switch!
White missiles with gold stripes line up. A cross hair lines up on The Mistress of Pain, and two on Jaraxxus.
Hold on tight, Galvix! This ought to be a rough ride!
Now. VIXIV has no suspension... technically. It doesn't need it. VIXIV floats. It's just because VIXIV is so ridiculously fast.
529! FIRE!
A differently shaped cannon extends. It looks like a sniper rifle barrel. Missiles fly. Hunter gets moving.
And...
Hunter turns and fires on the Mistress... right into the missile.
529? Set a new objective
Sir?
Terminate the enemy.
Acknowledged.
So? Anything you need to know?
Hunter is now speaking to Galvix.
Now to Rose.
Turn his blood to chlorophyll and his skin to bark!
Clearly, Rose has a better idea about what should happen to Ex... honestly, I'd like something more... violent.
What? You think I'm s'posed to be "impartial"? You're kidding, right? I hate Ex as much as they do.
Almost as much as I hate MLP:FIM...
Truer words were never spoken, Spirit.
Ominous Eyes seem to be a running theme in Deities...
You'll need a lot of pain to dish out, then! And, dear sister, we'll owe you a truly unpayable debt for that!
Wait, what? Oh, that? Yeah... it did. Although, the colours tend to change based on if I have any overwhelming emotion at the moment. Or if I want them to change... that too.
Okay. Let's get onto my incessant fumbling of words and making a fool of Speed to Mikoto.
If Cynder wants it, she can take it.
Ugh... Okay. Okay okay okay okay.
- cough cough* I would like to retcon my entire debacle. I don't see that happening... but I wanted to state my mind.
*in only-comprehensible-to-Speed-and-Co.-signs* Okay, not much I can exactly say so far... but "Mikoto" is producing not enough CO 2 to be normal. Almost like he's in a constantly hyperventilating state. Uh, I'm also seeing that he's altering the ground around him, the grass isn't reacting to his footsteps properly.
I don't think he's locked up yet... That might give Speed a chance to prove... something. I guess.
I find Elementium makes better armour than that, but... I understand the analogy. I tend to use Shadows so I don't potentially put myself in harm's way. If someone potentially aggressive or violent... or I'm unsure about, I'll send out the Shadows to watch for reactions.
I meant to propose how to get someone on the field... Although I'm perfectly willing to be that you can guess what I'd suggest... but it has nothing to do with any special demons or embodiment of death, destruction and insanity.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure nobody told you, huh?
I mean... Speed wants to earn respect. He's just gonna flat out say it.
My offer of safety stands as firm as... I dunno, what's the strongest metal you can think of, then multiply it by a thousand. Does a promise from Royalty mean anything to you? Because... well... I am... you know... royalty. I don't know how to say this without sounding like an arrogant bastard... difficult for royalty, I know, I know.
I'm feeling really stupid for writing that in. That seemed logical to me at the time. Fira, at minimum.
Listen. I give you my word that if your safety is compromised, I will assist you with all I am able to use. If I say anything to anyone, I do my utmost to keep to that...
... I feel awful writing that, noting the hypocrisy. I'm... sorry. For Cynder. I had meant for Speed to (convincingly) act as if He's gotten everything from Mikoto's mind, without having implicated Cynder telling him. I forgot to do that. I'm making speed sound more and more like a bastard with every word.
Don't worry about it. I'm certain that this entire arc will have a happy ending.
And that's exactly what I'm worried about. That Speed is going to end up having Cynder hating him, even though that's not what I wanted. Even with a "Happy Ending"... that's not what I wanted to aim for.
I think I'm gonna break here. I'm gonna figure out how to decide what attack I'm going to use.
- 1 to Talist, Consumer, Infinity.
Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!
My next ability is almost ready.
I have Blastoise use Hydro Pump on the new Infernal, while I have the Anti-God Machine stab the new Infernal. I use a Whitesnake Disc on the new Infernal, while D4C uses HIGH VOLTAGE on a PG.
Charge reservoir: 51/whatever (+2 from emblem, +2 from Consumer, +1 from Talist) I'm thinking of making it be an entity.
+1 to Talist, +1 to Consumer, +1 to Speed
Oh, okay tabbune.
Anyways, Hank uses Madness again and everyone on the AG team, including players, gains an attack bonus for all attacks. He then expends Dakka and John expends Do the Windy Thing, and my unlisted chars unload bullets into Jaraxxus's face.

/RPNull:
Neo 'blinks', looking a bit confused.
I myself do not have a formal education. I taught myself almost everything I know, apart from that which others have contributed to my knowledge. My sibling, the Sacred Spirit, has a vast knowledge of plantlife. They are in fact a half-plantlife entity.
He swivels his eyelights around, as if looking for something, then replies.
Inari? An interesting name. One, I am curious to point out, that they would share with the Japanese Deity of Foxes, Food, and Rice.
No joke, there. Inari's variably seen as a God, a Goddess, or being able to shift from one to the other on a whim. One of their chosen aspects is an old man riding a fox like a horse. The fox is seen as Inari's messenger.
And I guess that's a pretty good point...but the point I just made about Inari being a Divine's name kinda' makes that moot. Names do have power, though. Just ask the Skulduggery Pleasant series, or any other work of fantasy that deals with True Names.
Neo 'blinks' again, curious.
You are fleeing from this Inari for a reason you are unwilling to share. That is noted. Perhaps, if I were to answer any questions that you may have, you may be able to see me, not as a stranger, but as an acquaintance, at the very least? I truly find no current reason to be suspicious of you, excluding your admitting to having Cynder stalk Wilson, of course. And you mentioned a sister? I would inquire further, but this mention of borrowed time...
His eyelights shrink a bit, showing a look of sympathy and nervousness.
...concerns me.
He pulsates faintly, taking on an inverted color scheme.
I merely altered my makeup to include visible light so that you could see me. I am a sentient collection of metamorphic energy, and I can harness many forms in order to suit my needs. I would not describe it as illusion, but I can see where you draw that conclusion.
He 'glances' briefly to Speed, and then listens, taking on a star-like shape, and rotating sideways.
Anyone who wishes harm to anyone else is of immediate concern to me. My siblings and I are dedicated to fighting the forces of Evil and avoiding or dispelling unnecessary conflict. If you were worried about Cynder's wellbeing, I would guarantee you that all six currently-capable Aspects, myself included among that number, would stand up and attempt to resolve this issue without putting anyone in danger. Surely Inari would be reasonable enough to have a rational discussion, like you?
He appears a bit reflective, in both senses of the word, as he gives off a light sheen while also appearing thoughtful.
As for Cynder being a pseudonym, I had my doubts. I merely decided it was of no great importance, and I know that she has also taken to occasionally calling herself 'Cyndi'.
He approximates a nod with his eyelights, and shifts into a spherical configuration, extending a tendril in what is evidently an offer to shake hands, despite being energy, and Mikoto being a white panther.
Greetings, Mikoto. It is good to meet you.
Again, he appears concerned when Mikoto freezes. He gains a look of comprehension as he hears Mikoto's words.
So you attempted to find a way to preemptively stall Inari by targeting someone closer to her, just as you say she would target someone close to you? That rings with an air of hypocrisy, but I nonetheless believe it. It is good that you can avoid Wilson's death. He may be aloof at times, but he seems like a pleasant fox. However, his personality is one I have rarely glimpsed, and I am still working to understand how someone can have such a detached view of the world and yet be so positive about it.
...this gives me a brief view of coincidence, hearing Wilson's an asset to Inari, when I mentioned Inari, Japanese God of Foxes.
He appears a bit disappointed, as well as still showing a hint of concern.
...understood. Though, I would end up feeling a bit useless if something was wrong and I did nothing to help. I may not show much emotion, but I do care about the wellbeing of others.
He 'blinks' and looks a bit apologetic.
...ah. If I have not introduced myself already, I apologize. My siblings often need to refresh my memory on social norms. My name is Neodyme, but you may shorten it to Neo, if you prefer such action. I am the Aspect of Metal, Magnetism, Gravity, Energy, and Technology. Now that you know my name, does this at all influence your answer? I do not intend any negative connotations to my inquiries.
It's better to do that. And I think they did.
Neo approximates another nod.
Yes, Cynder. This is closer to my 'true' form. I left my metal avatar for a moment, and now I am as my natural self: sentient energy.
He gently cycles between red, blue, and green, before turning shades of teal, then returns to his usual pattern.
You are not hurt? That is good. I was concerned since you had been defeated in combat.
He 'nods' to both Cynder and Mikoto, and his eyelights flash a brighter shade. Now able to see Cynder, his voice takes on a more positive tone.
That is better. Well, from what I can see, you do not show any signs of critical harm. You do appear to be showing signs of anxiety, however, though that is understandable. My brother, Arkus, has perfected a blend of tea to ease stress. Perhaps I could suggest to him to give any of you a cup?
I see...I think. He's just practical, I guess.
Yeah, I've noticed all of those. I have to say, the Anti-Nihilist type really interests me. They're a Nihilist, so they...are positive about everything being useless...? I see Kai's prone to occasional escalating emotional outbursts, but, then, that's just another thing she's got in common with Spirit, Leishi's pretty out there, Cyndi's mysterious and alien in some manners, and Mikoto's...suspicious. Now we'll have to see what Inari's like...
Neo 'blinks' when he overhears Inari's announcement.
...curious. That was a very bold way to announce one's arrival...
Meanwhile, closer to Inari's location, Light blinks.
"...well, now...another champion of Light? I might have to say hello."
He spreads his wings, and takes flight, heading to Inari's location. Being the Aspect of Light, he's not affected by the iridescence of her armor. He lands, and tilts his head, waving.
"Hello. I noticed you announced yourself as 'The Light of the Dawn'. That's a majestic title. What's your name?"

OOC STUFF!
@Sacred: Sure. Neo can know that stuff too. You know it OOC anyway. And I figured one of the initial guesses would be that Mikoto is robotic, based on his freezing up. But in my opinion, the truth is weirder. ... Spoiler alert: All these characters are actually just Wilson's imaginary friends after he went through the trauma of DTG2.
@Speedon: Huh? What do you mean by 'affect VIVIX'? Also, I'm not sure what VIVIX is other than a vehicle.
@Speedon 2: Mikoto has 'locked up' twice in this conversation so far, once when speaking to Speed and once when speaking to Neo.
@Speedon 3: Sorry, but that wouldn't have worked. Mikoto knew that there were only 3 people who could have told you his name, either Inari, Talist, or Cynder. He knew it wasn't Inari because he got here before she did, and he's Genre Savvy enough to know it wasn't Talist because having Talist (the character) actually step in with this plot would ruin it, so I (the writer) am not going to have him do that. (If Talist did that, he'd essentially just order both Mikoto and Inari to go back to their rooms and stop fighting like children, which would be anti-climatic. So, we can't have that.)
@Speedon 4: The sort of funny thing about my storyline is that if everyone just left Mikoto and Inari alone, there would be a happy ending. At least, a happy ending for some characters.
@Sacred 2: Let me explain the mythology here. Both Mikoto and Inari are vaguely based off Shinto deities, although both of them are combinations of two gods. Inari has the name of Inari Okami, obviously, and it dictates her relation to Wilson. But while Inari is the best of my characters at nature magic (which isn't saying a lot), most of her powers are based off Amaterasu
. Mikoto is a combination of Susanoo-no-Mikoto
and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto
. (The word 'Mikoto' literally means 'great' or 'esteemed'). I combined the two into one character because it seemed fitting for the rival of the sun deity to be a moon one. Although, I'm not very strict with any of this mythology. ... I only try to really follow the Kitsune mythology, except for the weird parts like shapeshifting into human form to seduce people. ... If you can't tell, I like the general concepts of 'eastern' mythology way more than that of 'western' mythology. In 'western' mythology, the supernatural creature/thingy is evil 95% of the time for no reason other than occasionally greed.
@Sacred 3: I meant more along the lines that you can't fight someone if you don't know their name and can't track them down.
@Sacred 4: I personally like to see myself as an Anti-Nihilist. Or to use the more accurate term, an Existentialist. The general idea is that because the universe is pointless, we have the wonderful chance to define our own goals, hopes, ambitions, and lives rather than having them dealt by some outside force. ... Inari isn't too weird. I'd say she's between Wilson and Cynder on the Weird-o-meter. (Fun fact: The Weird-o-meter is the most useless invention ever because it always detects itself as being the weirdest thing in the room. Hah.)
@Sacred 5: Huh? Light is going to go talk to Inari? I was going to have her go pester one of Piono's characters (I ran out of time while designing the entity mechanics), but that's alright.
/RPNULL FOR KAI & CO.
Kai and Spirit sure do spend a lot of time giggling at each other.
Ah... maybe we were guided together, meaning that we were meant to be together. I wonder what would do that...
There's been a surprising amount of philosophy from my various characters. Wilson would hate the idea of being 'meant' to be with anyone.
But if it was your wish, then the world is benevolent, right? I... feel great being here as well... It's so easy to listen or speak...
Kai hums to herself, trying to organize things into a chart in her mind and starting to sound like a textbook.
Maybe... I should ask this—is there any formal procedure for having your rulings either influenced, prevented, or overturned? There's the informal dissenting opinion path, but is there something else? Or are you always the end decision?
She then looks down slightly.
Eh, cabinet or counsel... either way, it's the same sort of thing—advisors. The cabinet I was referring to is the president's personal staff of advisors, made up of the heads of bureaucratic agencies plus the vice president and... someone else I can't remember right now. It fits pretty well here...
FYI: the last member is the Attorney General, who advises the president on legal matters, especially ones dealing with the Supreme Court. Because we need people in the government to tell one part of the government how another part of the government should act.
Kai also tilts her head slightly.
Tulpa? I... think I've heard about that. Isn't that behind a lot of old depictions of deities? Although, a lot of times, the power of belief is less direct than that. I've heard that the definition of power is the ability to change a situation or keep it from changing. So that way, if you can influence somebody's decision making, you've got power; even if it's something really subtle. ... I'm starting to doubt whether that last part was even a famous quote.
Hearing Spirit's concern for her, Kai quickly breaks out of her resigned tone.
Huh? No, I'm alright. I just feel a little bad not being able to say much about biology. You know how to... like... handle the tiara.
———————————————
Well, luckily for you, I have no idea how this forum works or how to access the avatar gallery.
Kai looks up into the air, thinking of a character that we already know about because she arrived like a month ago, but this is happening before that.
Actually... never mind. I'm losing the competition to more than one person. Two people, exactly. One I've met before, and one that's being described to me. I'm in third place. ... What would...
Trying to think about what Leishi would do, Kai suddenly leaps to the side and rolls along the ground, barely managing to get back up again.
*hah*... I need to do that more often.
—————————————————-
Leishi paws at the ground and looks back at Kai.
If you want to be real technical about it, Kai got off active duty a long time ago, but chose to stay here anyway. I don't know the exact timeline, but I believe it was before she did that.
Now Leishi drops down into a prowling position, seemingly stalking random air.
Eh, I suppose. You can use whatever you'd like. But wouldn't that mean you're only as old as the number of times you've been separated and reunited with Kai?
Taking this to the extreme, Leishi jumps side to side, getting between Kai and Spirit and then jumping off to the side. And every time she blocks Spirit's vision of Kai, she says,
Plus a year! Plus a year! Plus a year! Plus a- ... I'll stop.
==Another Semi Line Break, this time with 100% less post breaking tildes==
At this offer, Kai's eyes light up with mmmiiiiiirrrrrrrrtttttthhhhhhhhhhhh...
Oh... Heh... Well... I'm not actually sure how it works; like whether there's a falloff after a certain point. But... hey... we've gotta see, right?
And finally, next to Spirit's affection, Kai just lies down on the ground, putting her head against Spirit's feet.
Same... same... here... *hmmm...*
After that, she stays quiet, apart from happily humming to herself.
——————————————————————-
Wilson looks up with his dark blue, almost purple-y eyes whose color is literally what it is only to serve as a yin-yang sort of thing. Oh, also, when Wilson talks about energy, he means the literal, scientific energy. e=mc squared and all that.
What would I use the energy for? I don't know. Maybe wadding it up into a little ball and throwing it at something. I've got a bunch of uses for it. And I'd rather not even be close enough to anything where I have to be dodging it. I'll stay in the back... and throw stuff. But it does help me with stealth. I can actually make myself invisible... but...
He does the invisibility trick where he bends light around himself, thus making himself invisible.
I can't actually see anything like this. It's just pitch black in here. And if I open up a window or anything, then other people can see me.
He then reappears, having transitioned to lying on his side. ((That's an actual problem with invisibility. Light has to bounce off your eyes if you want to see anything, but that means other people can see your eyes.))
Eh... I'll try to be in whatever state serves me best. A lot of times, not taking things seriously is the best thing for the situation, especially when it makes my opponents extremely angry at me. Plus... trying to look at everything in perspective helps keep my other emotions in check. I'd rather not be rash.
Getting the feeling that he said something wrong, Wilson looks up, curious.
Huh? You gotta laugh in the face of death; I've found that laughter gives me more courage than any amount of rage. And the undertaker never expects that. Plus, I know I'm in danger. This dragon poses a greater threat to my life than that one giant gun loaded battleship.
He then tilts his head up to look into the sky.
Well, I don't know exactly. Maybe you can call it pattern recognition. All the animal characters around here, including myself, have followed a similar arc, almost like we're all related in some way. If I remember my own story correctly, it goes something like: person X wanders onto the field, does something that gets people's attention, starts trying to push them away from some secret or just doesn't bring it up, secret is revealed via backstory or exposition. ... Of course, now that I've said that, there's going to be an exception, isn't there? Hm. Maybe.
He sighs deeply.
I'd hope that nobody will attack each other. But... ah... I don't know. It's clear that I can't really understand people sometimes.
Wilson also looks over to Sanctuary, but doesn't know what's there.
Oh yeah, that forest has been particularly stealthy in following us. So he's there? And yes, I have spoken to Spirit. I said about three sentences. And those were some of my finer sentences, too.''
———————————————————-
It's... so... late... But gotta... finish this...
Uh... huh?
Throughout Fury's whole monologue, Kai slowly lowers her head down to look more at the ground.
Well... I suppose that answers my question. ... Now if I could figure out how to clean something...
I'm not sure what else I can say to that. Plus... I'm getting tired...
Still on the ground, Leishi replies in the same tone.
Rand-om-ness needs meth-od to it, of cour-se.
Back on her feet, she jumps to the side and then back, so that she's next to Kai so she can speak to her, but obviously loud enough so that everyone else can hear.
Hey Kai, whatdaya think of meetin' gods every seventeen and a half steps? We've only got three of those type where we come from, and one is really boring anyway!
Kai takes a step away from her before saying with an amused tone,
I've already met them! And plus, that wasn't seventeen steps. That was more like...
She glances backwards and realizes she's still in the Sanctuary.
... Ten. Er, that wasn't an overestimate. That was an underestimate.
Kai steps forward towards Fury and smiles, her tail starting to swing back and forth.
Aw... and... that's really nice of you to say. It wasn't much... It was Leishi anyway. But... Um... thank you. I just... try... And I don't think I'm blushing...
In case she was wrong, she suddenly looks away.
You know... I realize that I've somewhat accidentally wound up with almost three times more female characters than male ones in my plot. I wanted 50/50. ... Oh well. I suppose it balances out the fact that most people have a majority of male characters.
After returning to her normal attitude, Leishi answers,
Oh, it's not much. But, hey Kai.
After getting her attention, Leishi seems to ask her a question on a different telepathy, which Kai immediately answers.
Oh, of course I tru-
Quickly realizing that Kai can't keep a secret with telepathy, Leishi interrupts her.
Wait, don't answer that.
Because the time frame is kinda weird, I'll tell you that this thing with Leishi is supposed to be happening at the same time Mikoto is justifying his general creepiness to everyone. ... Hah... This took a while...

There's a Youtube Channel... I do some stuff with it...(Sudden vacation plan from my family. I can't update until Tuesday. I can probably sneak an update once in the week. But no more than that.)
I actually meant to do that last turn... but, I mean... LOOK AT IT.
Let's do something! Anyway, so on Talist's spoilers that I never answered. He was attempting to intimidate, but not through force or a show of weapons... though I hope Judgement of the Divines helped to show what he is capable of. And Speed was talking to Cynder! I don't remember her moving! Speed makes a point of talking to people face-to-face if he can!
Mikoto's acting abnormally? Gives me a wonderful idea... *hack hack...* I don't even know what that was about...
Reading Mikoto's text... does he have a German accent, by chance? He seems like he would.
Uh...
Speed just walks out. He remembers that the Shadow didn't work last time.
I was here the whole time? I was talking to Cynder? Did you fail to notice me literally around the corner when I saw you coming?
DON'T REMEMBER HOW HE GOT HERE!
Are you kidding?
Speed is focused on Mikoto, but signals to Rose to watch Mikoto and see if he does anything... abnormal... er.
*psychic* Rose? Can you watch Mikoto?
Uh... sure.
Rose has a Doctorate in Psychology, both Human and Animal, Anatomy again, both Human and Animal, Veterinary Sciences and Medicine.
If she finds anything that changes... well. Three guesses.
Oh? Agressively Self Righteous? You're... not exactly wrong, actually. I, unfortunately, tend to get carried away. I'm inclined to believe Cynder a hell of a lot more than you.
Upon hearing something about "threats"...
If it's really that bad, then I'm prepared to provide protection. I got carried away... maybe. Look. There are literally only three people that can hear us at the moment... that aren't us. Cynder, Rose, my incredibly shy, stuttering friend, who is one of the most trustworthy people I know, and Fira, who I would trust with not just my life, but the lives of planets, is completely trustworthy, and... well. I cannot sing her praises high enough.
I feel so stupid writing this. I have no idea where I'm going with this... so I'm gonna leave it until I have words I can put together into intelligible sentences. Though that is something on the lines of what I want to say.
Hunter tells me that he wants to talk to someone and is bored just siting there. You lot remember that you have the... screw it. I've got a plan.
We've done it...
We've... I don't think we can beat that...
We've got to come up with something more epic...
We'll do that on the last turn! Just hold for now!
So let's just music it up!
Oh! I'm gonna see Fira playing music!
Yes, Ray. Yes you are.
You want help with that?
Sure!
Heh, you have ideas for a song?
You saying I don't?
Yeah, maybe?
Ooooohhhh, well, have a song for you!
Are you sure we really need to be a part of this?
Nope!
You can take a break for this one!
Sweet...
Thank sister...
Gayle starts beating away on the drum... and then they realize that it'snot just drum. Rose and Fira pick up their Instruments. Fira is able to play the guitar while using it like a Halberd. Attack after Lyrics!
Some people call it their rhythm, I call it the drum
'Cause I beat it down once in a while, like it got slow or somethin'
She wanna hold some, I told her to roll some
She said I'm cold-frontin', no no no: go-stunting
I know my A's, I know my B's, I know my C-D-E's
My F, my G's, all the way down to Z's
Hey, that's why it's rhymes like these
Because me and my drum, closer than twin siamese.
Yo, I got that boom-chicka-boom-chicka-boom-boom-boom
That'll zoom-zoom-zoom and how you boom-boom-boom
I got that boom-chicka-boom-chicka-boom-boom-boom
That'll zoom-zoom-zoom and how you boom-boom-boom
I'm gonna stand till I get there
I'm gonna get there, me and my drum
Just give me a chance, I'm gonna stay there
I ain't going nowhere, me and my drum
Me and my drum
Yo, I could shake it up a little bit, show you how I fiddle it
Take you to another place and then you feel my bass kick
Boom-boom, now take it easy you're gonna break something
Boom-boom, ok mama, I think you broke something
You could call me show-stopper, go-popper, flow-popper
Drama, drama, drama, drama, drama like a soap opera
So when the beat knocks, street rocks, you might need some detox
Get ready for my beatbox
Boom-chicka-boom-chicka-boom-boom-boom
That'll zoom-zoom-zoom and how you boom-boom-boom
I got that boom-chicka-boom-chicka-boom-boom-boom

I ain't going nowhere, me and my drum
Me and my drum, me and my drum
Me and my drum, me and my drum
Check out my drum
Check out my drum, my drum is done
My drum is numb, I think you all want some
Hot like a fresh-baked bun
It's hot like the sun, hot like a smokin' gun
I'm gonna stand 'till I get there I'm gonna stand 'till I get there
I'm gonna get there, me and my drum I'm gonna get there, me and my drum.

Me and my drum, me and my drum Me and my drum, me and my drum
Me and my drum, me and my drum Me and my drum, me and my drum
Me and my drum Me and my drum.
Swingfly. Used by only the best stick-fight animations as backing music.
So what did Speed and Fira do as their attack?
Speed, Fira and Beam pulled a whole bunch of Axe/Spear/Scythe/Sword combos. In time with the beat. Ray sat down and cheered enthusiastically.
Good kid.
Speed! Let's end this dance!
Heh! You got it!
Speed infuses Fira's halberd with Light. Beam infuses Fira's Halberd with Darkness.
Fira takes a swing at Jaraxxus with her Dark-Light Crest. She's killing him with a guitar. With zero damage to the guitar. And... it's sharp too.
'''Auth? Stop fumbling over your words. Just stop. Get some help. Please.]]
Don't need help.
Hunter sighs, and accelerates towards Jaraxxus. He fires away at Jaraxxus while anticipating his third missile loading. He has an ominous feeling, though. Like a dark force is beginning to muster energy.
Action Summary:
Speed and Fira use Dark-Light Crest on Jaraxxus.
Hunter boredly fires on Jaraxxus. I'll get Hunter to pick up one of the Aspects if he can also do that. Pick one, Scribe.
