In other news, I've made some decent progress on Raven's Finale attack, the first of three. No, Astria will not get one, because TARDIS. The second will go to a certain chaotic shard.
Too late. Sorry Net! It's not like the distinction between AG and PG is going to matter PERIOD in this next Trial anyways. Foreshadowing indicates that faction allegiances will be forcibly turned to AG at this stage of the game. Or maybe it's not gonna be, I don't really know, and if I was told, I forgot.
/null.
Yes, what he said... Never going to use it against you guys anyway... definitely
Tingle: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! AAAAAAAARG
ME: Um, I just stepped on his puzzle he's been working... for the last hour... he's not mad at you... I'm going to hide really quick
I will trade away my Infinity Blade for really anything, because it kind of sucks. Of course, no one will be willing to trade me anything because I'm a PG and no one wants it.
Yes, that includes the Serpent's Fang. Even that. At least it fits thematically.
HEY! I'm about to prove you wrong! For only one infinity blade, you can have the hard light gun! Yes, with all this arguing, potential risk, and no refunds, passed right on to you. Call now!
(I'm just doing this because the infinity blade sounds cooler than the hard light gun, it's probably a horrible deal for me, but whatever)
I WAS TOO LATE, That's what you get when you write long messages...

In the ruins of a game in limbo, two planets stand as testimony to a crisis unforeseen.
The one remaining session of Universe A lies dormant. After being smashed together by the Employer, the Land of Wind and Shade and Land of Frost and Frogs have remained heavily scarred, just like the rest of the reality-imposed game they lie in. For months, the game's players have been trapped inside, wondering exactly how to leave. Thanks to the late Doc Scratch, they now have a way, but it will come at a heavy cost. Unless they manage to escape its effects, the players of the game will be reset, along with it.
The master of LOWAS, John Egbert, ponders all of this. He is the only one who knows of the Scratch. All other records of it are obscured completely by corruption and meaningless side-quests. And now he must break the news to his three friends: they finally have an escape route. Activating the Scratch won't be hard. It will be escaping the session afterwards that poses a challenge.
CURRENT ectoBiologist [CEB] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE.
CEB: ...someone needs to change that name.
CEB: it was made as a vague response to the fact that we were stuck in a game, i mean
seriously guys.
CEB: are we all so lazy that we can't even get with the times??? this is old news now.
CURRENT turntechGodhead [CTG] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTG: i dont know man i mean some of us can get with the times
CTG: maybe some of us who are actually good at dealing with it
CTG: why dont you stay out of places where you dont belong
CTG: last i checked your domain was wind or whatever
CTG: does wind even do anything useful
CEB: yes, wind totally does useful things!! i can phase out of space and reappear
somewhere else!
CTG: jade can do that
CEB: ...er. i can also use it to turn into wind and spy on what others are doing!!
CTG: rose can do that
CTG: and those two things are like the exact same power
CEB: argh!! well maybe you didnt know...
CEB: uh...
CEB: maybe you didn't know that i can make CLONES OF MYSELF using wind! what do you think
of that??
CTG: now i know youre making this crap up on the spot
CTG: obviously a ripoff of my timeclone powers
CEB: AAAAAAAAGH!!! can the rest of you just log on already!
CTG: ugh i didnt mean for this to turn into a huge argument
CTG: thats all you do now
CTG: argue and moan at people
CTG: we get that you hate being trapped in this session but thats old news now haha
CURRENT gardenGnostic [CGG] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CGG: i think you guys should stop being so whiny and moany all the time!
CGG: my house was almost covered in lava and you don't see ME complaining!!
CGG: my PLANET was almost covered in lava too! :0
CEB: yeah, i guess you're right.
CEB: but anyway, i have some really important news so i need rose to come on now!
CURRENT tentacleTherapist [CTT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTT: You talked with Scratch.
CEB: how did you know?
CTG: didnt we just cover that heroes of light can spy on people
CEB: ughhhhhhh.
CTT: I couldn't hear what you and him were talking about, anyway.
CTT: And I didn't necessarily want to. I had a feeling I would hear the news straight
from you anyway.
CTT: So go on.
CEB: alright. here goes!
CEB: someone do a drumroll.
CTG: nah im good
CTG: i can rap to celebrate the occasion if you want
CGG: yes please!! i'm always in the mood for your raps dave! they're always pretty funny
CTT: And the topics they describe provide days of psychoanalytic material.
CTT: Like that one time where you--
CEB: OKAY WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS!! SOMEONE DO A GOD DAMN DRUMROLL!
CGG: but i play the bass!
CTT: And I play the violin.
CTG: and i make ill beats
CEB: ...wow that's sort of sad. no one here plays the drums? whatever.
CEB: the news i was trying to break is... IS...
CEB: i found a way to get us out of the game!!
CTT: Well. I'm not exactly surprised, but still. This is very good news, John.
CTT: So what MacGuffin have you discovered that will allow us to leave the session?
CEB: we've always been able to leave, actually!
CEB: remember that big-ass record on dave's planet?
CTG: how could i forget
CTG: i see the thing like every time i go on a quest
CTG: my consorts are like "now see here this things a big-ass record but we have no clue
what it does"
CTG: "dont waste your time on it"
CTG: dont waste my time on it like id waste my time on things
CTG: im the master of time remember
CGG: yes, we do... you say this like every time we have a memo!
CTT: You seem very confident of your abilities as a Time player.
CTT: Why do you insist that you're the master of it when you stopped using your powers
after you became a God Tier?
CTG: ugh
CTG: its complicated okay
CEB: what isn't with you?
CGG: >:0 we're getting into dumb rants again!!!! just tell us about what the beat mesa is
for!
CEB: oh right, i forgot it had a name!
CTT: That's fairly justified. It's hardly ever mentioned anywhere in this game.
CTT: I've tried my hardest to get some information on the construct, but every lead I
found ended up being a dead end.
CTT: What was Scratch able to tell you about it?
CEB: okay, well. we can start up a thing called the scratch on it.
CEB: we basically scratch a pattern onto the thing, and then it will reset the game!
CTG: huh
CGG: whooooa!
CTT: Hmm. A full reset? How did this knowledge go by unnoticed?
CTG: knowledge is your business not ours
CTG: well you and jade are sort of little miss psychics
CTG: jade still has that crapton of computers on her and im reasonably sure some of them
are like crystal balls
CTG: rose if i were you id do something about this
CTG: jades trying to steal your style over here
CGG: hehe
CGG: rose was actually the one who gave me the crystal ball! but this is all really
besides the point!!
CEB: okay so... the way we start the scratch is pretty complicated.
CEB: we need to create a pattern across its full diameter, even though i have no clue
what that pattern would look like...
CEB: and we need some weapons called the quills of echidna.
CEB: scratch told me i could find them on lofaf.
CGG: oh, those things! they belong to my denizen!
CGG: but the way to her lair was destroyed when both of our planets collided! how will i
able to find them??
CTG: god you guys are forgetting your most basic powers left and right
CTG: just teleport to them jade
CTG: i honestly dont know why this game even bothers keeping secrets when we can just go
anywhere we want
CTT: If we really can go anywhere we want, why haven't we found about the Scratch sooner?
CTT: If this process really has such drastic consequences, I'm sure the game would have
pointed to it at some point. This seems like the type of thing you'd want your players to
know about.
CTT: Perhaps the game has been intentionally obscuring information about it from us.
CTT: But why? As far as we know, the glitches pervading our game had no pattern except
for when they all transferred to our Gates.
CEB: er. about that. i know who caused the glitches too. AND why the reckoning didn't
happen. but i guess i'll have to explain that later.
CTG: wow dude way to leave us on a massive cliffhanger
CTG: this is some crucial info that youre not telling us here
CTG: what if i knew about a game that gamebro actually gave 5/5 hats to and i didnt tell
you
CEB: oh come on. we both know you would NEVER do that! gamebro hasn't given a game 5/5
hats EVER!
CTG: or have they
CEB: ...dave we don't have time for your mindgames!!!
CTT: I agree. I'm eager to learn more about this. This has been obscured for far too
long.
CEB: alright so. rose, i'm going to need your needlekind specibus.
CEB: the quills are needles, i guess.
CTT: Why would you need my specibus? If the artifacts we use for this scratch are
needles, shouldn't I initiate it?
CEB: scratch sort of implied i'd be the one to set everything into motion.
CTG: huh alright
CTG: guess youd better start flying to lohac then
CTG: get to it
CEB: yeah, you're right! let me do that real quick.
CGG: so when you say a "full reset"...
CGG: do you mean like a reset back to the beginning of this game? like, right before we
all got the copies?
CEB: er. not exactly.
CEB: apparently the scratch "releases an excess amount of temporal energy".
CTG: then it makes sense that its on my planet then
CEB: huh. i guess so.
CEB: basically, the entire universe will be re-written.
CTT: Seriously?
CEB: yeah.
CTT: This is vastly different than what I had in mind.
CTT: A complete wipe of our entire universe? Then you're saying this is a suicide
mission.
CEB: ...i guess so.
CTG: oh well thats just great
CTG: the one time scratch gives us all the information we need on how to leave this game
CTG: and the way we do it is by leaving life entirely
CTG: is this some sort of weird loophole thing
CTG: "oh whoops you guys all died but hey youre out of your game so good for you"
CTT: Normally it would be, if I'm processing the full ramifications of this.
CTT: But wouldn't we be in this new incarnation of the universe?
CEB: scratch said the new game would have different players...
CEB: and we would live new lives with no memory of our old ones.
CGG: john why would you even suggest this as an idea???
CGG: i'm all for leaving this place but you expect us to go through with erasing
ourselves from existence?
CTG: weve all died before
CTG: but this is a fate worse than death
CEB: okay okay, i know this sounds really bad.
CEB: but scratch said that if i told you all how to start the scratch, we would find a
way out of here!
CTT: This is implying that the Scratch itself will not be the key to our egress.
CTT: You're saying we will have to find an alternate way out upon completing the Scratch,
and somehow escape getting erased from existence.
CTT: Exactly how much faith are you expecting us to put in the advice Scratch gave you?
CGG: rose, to be fair, this is the first time he hasn't withheld any facts!
CGG: he even told john who glitched the session!
CGG: i say we go for it! if we can find a way out then this will all be worth it!
CEB: okay, well. i am glad that one of you trusts me. i guess.
CTT: We all trust you, John. It's Scratch I'm worried about.
CTG: he gives off this weird puppetmaster vibe
CTG: i tried to stay away from him and he thankfully didnt talk to me that much
CTG: but anyway thats not all im worried about
CTG: ive been noticing strange things in the fabric of time and space
CTT: How strange are we talking about here?
CTG: really strange things
CTG: like
CTG: cracks
CTT: Cracks in reality? This sounds familiar.
CGG: really??
CTT: Yes. I remember one of the trolls mentioning something about it. Aradia, I think.
CTT: She said that at one point, shortly after our excursion into GodCraft, cracks in
reality had started to appear.
CTT: It was unrelated to the demons they had fought throughout their session after
defeating the Black King, though.
CTT: It was more severe.
CTG: of course they got the trolls have seen them too why not
CTG: everything in paradox space is like a rerun of a rerun
CTG: nothings new its all happened before
CGG: :/ should any of us really be surprised at this point?
CTT: No, not really. At this point Skaia could be a black hole for all I care and I still
wouldn't be surprised.
CEB: hah hah, uh, that sort of came out of nowhere.
CGG: yeah, why would skaia be a black hole? that sounds like a really dumb twist!
CTT: I don't know. Forget I said anything.
CTG: you sure thats not some divine light inspiration or whatever
CTG: sounds pretty important
CTT: Maybe it could have huge relevance and I would have no way of knowing. Information
is so hard to come by in this game.
CTT: It's a miracle we were able to find out this much about the Scratch at all.
CTT: And even then, it was only through the hands of Scratch himself.
CEB: so, uh. these cracks sound awfully important if they're going through the fabric of
reality or whatever!!
CTG: i dont know man i cant really explain it
CTG: but i have felt it before and it was after we went into godcraft
CTG: and it was a lot more intense than this
CTG: not even cracks, just a full blown jagged hole in reality
CTG: it felt like we were in a vulnerable state of some kind
CTG: like anything could pass through
CEB: whoa. i guess we should be glad nothing did!
CGG: yeah... >_> that would have been bad!
CGG: so can we do anything about it? or what??
CTG: nah i doubt theres anything we can do
CTG: its out of our control
CTG: and anyway the situation might resolve itself maybe
CTT: You don't sound too confident.
CTG: well i dont think we should worry about it
CTG: nothing else can really go on in this dump anyway
CTG: this is just like the icing on the convoluted temporal mess of a cake that were
trapped in
CGG: hehe, you can get trapped in cakes?
CTG: dont question the metaphor jade
CTG: if you question the metaphors then you end up questioning english in general
CTG: and then before you know it the public education system is busting down your door
CTG: and you become an english teacher trapped in a small classroom forcing kids to learn
about pointless grammar crap
CTT: Grammar isn't pointless, Dave.
CTG: hell yeah it is why do you think i type in all lowercase
CTG: im too cool for school
CGG: ughhh i really doubt it
CEB: this is the dumbest metaphor/joke/whatever you have ever made.
CEB: and i wonder how we got so off topic from the scratch!
CEB: i mean i'm flying past skaia right now!
CGG: how is skaia, anyway? i haven't really paid much attention to it after we fought
that giant monster there!!
CEB: ugh, still all purple and corrupted. and definitely NOT a black hole.
CTT: Why are we still discussing the notion that Skaia can warp light itself?
CTT: If it was a black hole we all would have noticed by now.
CTT: The thing produces so much light that its effects would be instant.
CTG: isnt there that thing about how light can only travel so fast
CTT: Light has a fixed speed of 186,000 miles per second, and if the Incipisphere was so
huge that light would take more than a few seconds to reach our eyes from Skaia, it would take John years to even get there.
CTT: And since he's there right now, I can assure you you that the Incipisphere is not
set up to this scale.
CTT: Did you not learn about this at school, Dave?
CTT: Oh wait, I forgot. You're too cool for school.
CTG: god that was meant to be a one-off joke can you guys drop it
CTT: Only if you all drop the Skaia = black hole theory.
CEB: alright, alright. i'll drop it.
CEB: you know, you guys should be heading to lohac too...
CGG: oh, i'll just teleport everyone! i just found the quills i needed
CEB: whoa really? already?
CGG: yeah! it was pretty easy considering my space powers
CEB: haha, right.
CTT: When should I brace myself for teleportation?
CGG: uhh in a few seconds, i just need to give the quills to you first!
CTT: Oh, of course.
CTT: Well that was quick. Here they are, right next to me.
CTT: The craftmanship on these is exquisite, really. But they don't strike me as knitting
needles.
CTG: thats why theyre quills
CTT: I suppose. I wonder why my modus has decided to accept them, however, if they're
more monster-powered quills rather than...
CTT: Hmm. Then again, I've had sticks that writhe with the knowledge of the Elder Gods in
my inventory. Perhaps this is a moot point.
CTT: At least we now have the necessary instruments to reset our game.
CEB: alright, i'm closing in on lohac now.
CGG: i can't believe it, this is it! this game is almost over!!
CTT: Don't get your hopes up too high. We still have to figure out a way to properly exit
the game first.
CTT: And now we'll be under a time limit. Once we initiate the Scratch, we will have its
duration to find a way out.
CTT: I'm assuming directly or very shortly afterwards, the game will reset, so that
doesn't give us a lot of time.
CTG: i would use my time powers to help matters but
CTT: But what?
CTG: i dunno its just
CTG: i dont feel very confident using them anymore
CTG: ever since i noticed the cracks in reality ive felt like i havent really done my job
as a time player
CTG: thats to above all not screw up anything important with time
CTG: and thats really whats been happening
CTT: The Scratch releases an excess of temporal energy, Dave.
CTT: You will practically be in your element during it, and I wouldn't necessarily worry
about the stability of our universe.
CTT: We're resetting it anyway, and even if that doesn't fix what you've noticed, we're
going to be leaving the game shortly.
CTT: So I wouldn't worry about it.
CEB: heheh. at least, we should be leaving if everything goes according to
plan...hopefully it will!
CTG: wow look at that overwhelming vote of confidence from john
CTG: hes so confident that sooner or later hes going to form like a giant fireball of
confidence or something
CTG: just lighting up the entire sky and then burning himself to ashes like some kind of
bs phoenix
CTG: and everyone will be like yup theres john
CTG: cause of death is thinking he was too cool
CEB: you're one to talk. that's probably how YOU'RE going to die!
CTG: dammit
CTG: ugh i really need to step up my game with insults this isnt like me
CTT: This game has put us through a lot of stress. Too much stress. It's time we got it
over with.
CEB: and there's the beat mesa...
CEB: oh hey, i see you guys are already here!
CTG: what we are
CTG: oh hell we are
CTG: wow jade whatever happened to a few seconds that was like five minutes ago
CGG: i like to surprise people! hehe
CTT: That was... fairly disorienting.
CTT: Is that what you see every time you teleport?
CGG: yup! you get used to it
CGG: im sure if you had my powers you would too!
CTG: oh god i think im gonna be sick but the only place to throw up is in the lava
CTG: which for some reason strikes me as odd
CEB: and here we are!
CEB: alright i'm here. i guess we don't have to talk on this memo now that we're next to
each other...
CGG: agreed!
CGG ceased responding to memo.
CTG: yeah im just gonna
CTG: go
CTG ceased responding to memo.
CTT: Likewise. Dave put it quite eloquently.
CTT ceased responding to memo.
CEB ceased responding to memo.
CEB closed memo.
JOHN: well hey! glad you guys could make it!
DAVE: come on youre making this seem like more than it is
DAVE: all jade had to was probably snap her fingers or something
JADE: hehe yeah that is pretty much all i had to do
JADE: the thing about these powers is that i can do so much just by thinking about it!
JADE: i could probably switch this planet with skaia or something
JADE: maybe i could make this whole session a game of musical planets! :0
ROSE: I'd rather not see that.
ROSE: We already know what happened when two planets' positions became skewed.
ROSE: And seeing you go power-hungry unnerves me quite a bit, so I think I'll pass on
that.
JADE: oh rose you know i was just joking around >_>
DAVE: "you can never be too sure"
ROSE: You can never be too--
ROSE: ...Really.
DAVE: oh come on it was obvious you were going to say that
DAVE: being the master elite pyschoanalyser and all
DAVE: can you ever be too sure in your line of "work"
JOHN: bluhhhhh. you guys are getting WAY TOO OFF TOPIC!
JOHN: it's time to actually start the scratch!
DAVE: okay so weve got the quills
JOHN: yeah.
DAVE: and we have roses specibus
ROSE: Yeah.
DAVE: and we know we have to scratch some kind of pattern onto this thing

TWINJA! EXCEPT NOT REALLY BECAUSE ITS NOT AN UPDATE! Anyway... I read the whole thing so that I could not understand it thoroughly and completely. I really don't understand much of what's going, so I'll just smile and applaud? I guess? Although... as much as I hate to ask it, I have to. Does this mean the Disk of Mojang and the First Block and all that was another Homestuck reference? Because I see some... striking... similarities to what's going on here... sigh... at this point, it seems like Homestuck is referenced more than Minecraft is...
Alright then. Fseftr, you deserve the Kitsune Charm. You were in second place for efficiency back in the Dream Scape if I remember correctly. And I just noticed, Ire, you want the Potion Supply? You probably don't want to part with either the Table Leg or Twitchy Staff, so could I have the Brass Knuckles? All I really ask is that you try to synergize the Potion Supply with the Kitsune Charm to get double or even triple use out of it. Could you please do that? It would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I designed the Kitsune Charm with synergy in mind rather than raw damage.
50/50 SPENT ON FOLLOWING ATTACK and 25/50 +1 to Generic and Tazz.
I point the Staff of Ysera at the three PG entities and a beam of green flame streaks towards and then wraps itself around them and binds to the place they stand. The flames then link together, forming a triangle and pulling the three entities together. When they've been pulled into an equilateral triangle, some of the flames siphon off into the center. They swirl and spin into a raging whirlpool of emerald flames. They spin faster and faster until the entire whirlpool explodes outward, scorching the three entities. In its place, stands a large green drake, with scales gleaming like gems. After flexing its wings, it suddenly roars up into the sky as the power of nightmares flows into it. Then it turns and crashes into the Error before turning back and shredding the other two and thrashing around to hit all three. Still bound by the flames, they are helpless to fight back and are even dragged by the infernal chains into the drake's waiting claws and fangs. This would continue on, but the power of nightmares isn't sustainable and having one creature hold it for too long is quite deadly. So, I quickly cast a dream spell on it, pulling it out of action and back into the safety of the Dream. (no, not Wilson's)

Beginning of Wilson's Epilog...
In a panic, Wilson suddenly bolts strait up and looks around. He was back in the emporium. More specifically, in the basement, by the Dune machine he had built (you know, the thingy that allows for O0O with potions). How did he get here? Did Hank drop him off here? But... the destruction... there was nothing left. His flimsy patchwork of bricks and planks wouldn't stand a whelk's chance in a supernova. It must have been a dream, right? Right? He wished for that to be the case with all of his little bleeding heart. If it was all a dream, he could go back to normal, brewing potions in one of the only two places he had ever called home. The world wouldn't be broken. He wouldn't have to deal with the soul crushing weight of seeing his world burnt to not even ashes. It would all be okay. But... in the back of his mind, he knew that it simply wasn't true. As dark and loathing as his mind could be, he doubted it could come up with such horrors as breaking his entire world. Something was definitely wrong here. Either this was an illusion, a dream, or his first step into complete and total madness. That last one might be a little exaggerated and unlikely, but he had lost his faith in the world, or rather, what's left of it, and so anything seemed plausible.
Wilson plodded over to the Dune with his head down low and his ears falling by his sides. Might as well see if he left anything in it. Climbing up to the little pedestal he had built himself, he gently spun the main mixing chamber. Offering no real resistance, the barrel spun easily and smoothly. But then, the axle broke and the barrel crashed into the ground and shattered into a neat little mess of broken planks and splinters. Now without one of the main cross bars, the rest of the machine collapsed inward on itself, fragile connections breaking as they fell onto the earth. Wilson was left standing slightly above a pile of splintered wood, rusted metal, and sprung pipes.
And I was just joking about how happy I am...
And with that, he burst into tears again over a wreckage he could never save.
TWINJA! EXCEPT NOT REALLY BECAUSE ITS NOT AN UPDATE! Anyway... I read the whole thing so that I could not understand it thoroughly and completely. I really don't understand much of what's going, so I'll just smile and applaud? I guess? Although... as much as I hate to ask it, I have to. Does this mean the Disk of Mojang and the First Block and all that was another Homestuck reference? Because I see some... striking... similarities to what's going on here... sigh... at this point, it seems like Homestuck is referenced more than Minecraft is...
The First Block and Disc of Mojang were concepts created by me for DTG2. They are not based off of anything in Homestuck, and have to do with Minecraft and DTG. However, what they were used for in Act 2 (scratching the First Block with the Disc) was based off of Homestuck. Keep in mind, though, that this was during a time when the entire game was a Homestuck reference.
So no, they are not Homestuck references themselves.

@Twin: I'm sorry. I feel like I'm going to be seeing Homestuck references stalking me from around the street corner for months to come. Even though I can't really tell what one is unless it has it explicitly painted on.
@Fseftr: Oh, uh, sure. That's... nice of you. I guess sorry to Irecreeper, because if I have the Kitsune Charm, I want to hold onto the Potion Supply due to SYNERGY! I think with the Kitsune Charm, that makes my 3 most appropriate spoils.

(I actually didn't really want the Charm: I'm actually content with all my current spoils; I also got the ones I would've gotten if based off of traits / backstory and such, which is neat.)
Oh my god, sigma is back
Anyway, gotta fit two more posts in this turn because important things.
WHO... WHO ARE YOU?
i'm you. i'm... *cough*... your avatar.
BUT. WHAT HAPPENED. TO YOU?
i... i got torn apart by a giant wither and lost my soul, okay? i don't like to talk about it.
I... WHAT HAVE I DONE?
what do you mean?
I. CREATED YOU. BUT. I LEFT YOU. HERE TO DIE. WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT.
we've both done worse.
...STILL.
Serpent reaches down to pull her avatar up. But something odd is happening. Her skin is... melding into her avatar's. She tries to pull away, but it is too late for that. A cast-off piece of herself has finally been reunited with her.
I congratulate Twin on another excellent effort-tastic storypost, and then continue advancing my "suspicious video game generosity" healing company. With political maneuvering, I send out robotic expeditions to retrieve wealth and healing items from the now-abandoned player forts strewn across Godcraft. Once they return, I build a giant cannon and shoot the healing items into the sky, with them falling down and creating health pickups everywhere.
Hello, Sigmatw! You're just in time, as you have conveniently came back for the final battle of DTG2! The Godmodder is MIA, but also on his very last Hit Point!
Gutza, Netpatham ninja'd you to the Spoil. Sorry about that. Perhaps asking someone if they'd be willing to loan you something out of the kindness in their hearts?
...does Sigmatw get his old spoils back? I feel that he should.
He was absent for a very long time, so unless Twin has anything to say about it the answer is no. As Crusher48 was the rightful owner of the HHHH but didn't get it back when he returned, I really don't think he can count on it. Unless, of course, you were willing to donate those Spoils back to him.
(What does the Prism do? Can't find it in the OP...)
The Prism is the only Spoil that can heal. It has 3 post charge to it, and when used, it unleashes a wave of cookies onto an Entity, healing them to a serious degree.
Grrr. I wish I had a spoil of my own that I could've traded to Netpatham. Hmm. Hey Talist, would you be willing to give me the Glitch Wrench? You have 3 spoils already. Plus it'd fit Lothyra being an engineer. Though TBH the Shockwave Laser Cannon would be my pick.
<3 thank you so much
*trades*
In other news, I've made some decent progress on Raven's Finale attack, the first of three. No, Astria will not get one, because TARDIS. The second will go to a certain chaotic shard.
Oh no
Yes, what he said... Never going to use it against you guys anyway... definitely
Tingle: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! AAAAAAAARG
ME: Um, I just stepped on his puzzle he's been working... for the last hour... he's not mad at you... I'm going to hide really quick
HEY! I'm about to prove you wrong! For only one infinity blade, you can have the hard light gun! Yes, with all this arguing, potential risk, and no refunds, passed right on to you. Call now!
(I'm just doing this because the infinity blade sounds cooler than the hard light gun, it's probably a horrible deal for me, but whatever)
I WAS TOO LATE, That's what you get when you write long messages...
Tingle: THERE YOU ARE!!!!!!
ME: UH OH

Enjoy.
In the ruins of a game in limbo, two planets stand as testimony to a crisis unforeseen.
The one remaining session of Universe A lies dormant. After being smashed together by the Employer, the Land of Wind and Shade and Land of Frost and Frogs have remained heavily scarred, just like the rest of the reality-imposed game they lie in. For months, the game's players have been trapped inside, wondering exactly how to leave. Thanks to the late Doc Scratch, they now have a way, but it will come at a heavy cost. Unless they manage to escape its effects, the players of the game will be reset, along with it.
The master of LOWAS, John Egbert, ponders all of this. He is the only one who knows of the Scratch. All other records of it are obscured completely by corruption and meaningless side-quests. And now he must break the news to his three friends: they finally have an escape route. Activating the Scratch won't be hard. It will be escaping the session afterwards that poses a challenge.
CURRENT ectoBiologist [CEB] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE.
CEB: ...someone needs to change that name.
CEB: it was made as a vague response to the fact that we were stuck in a game, i mean
seriously guys.
CEB: are we all so lazy that we can't even get with the times??? this is old news now.
CURRENT turntechGodhead [CTG] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTG: i dont know man i mean some of us can get with the times
CTG: maybe some of us who are actually good at dealing with it
CTG: why dont you stay out of places where you dont belong
CTG: last i checked your domain was wind or whatever
CTG: does wind even do anything useful
CEB: yes, wind totally does useful things!! i can phase out of space and reappear
somewhere else!
CTG: jade can do that
CEB: ...er. i can also use it to turn into wind and spy on what others are doing!!
CTG: rose can do that
CTG: and those two things are like the exact same power
CEB: argh!! well maybe you didnt know...
CEB: uh...
CEB: maybe you didn't know that i can make CLONES OF MYSELF using wind! what do you think
of that??
CTG: now i know youre making this crap up on the spot
CTG: obviously a ripoff of my timeclone powers
CEB: AAAAAAAAGH!!! can the rest of you just log on already!
CTG: ugh i didnt mean for this to turn into a huge argument
CTG: thats all you do now
CTG: argue and moan at people
CTG: we get that you hate being trapped in this session but thats old news now haha
CURRENT gardenGnostic [CGG] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CGG: i think you guys should stop being so whiny and moany all the time!
CGG: my house was almost covered in lava and you don't see ME complaining!!
CGG: my PLANET was almost covered in lava too! :0
CEB: yeah, i guess you're right.
CEB: but anyway, i have some really important news so i need rose to come on now!
CURRENT tentacleTherapist [CTT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTT: You talked with Scratch.
CEB: how did you know?
CTG: didnt we just cover that heroes of light can spy on people
CEB: ughhhhhhh.
CTT: I couldn't hear what you and him were talking about, anyway.
CTT: And I didn't necessarily want to. I had a feeling I would hear the news straight
from you anyway.
CTT: So go on.
CEB: alright. here goes!
CEB: someone do a drumroll.
CTG: nah im good
CTG: i can rap to celebrate the occasion if you want
CGG: yes please!! i'm always in the mood for your raps dave! they're always pretty funny
CTT: And the topics they describe provide days of psychoanalytic material.
CTT: Like that one time where you--
CEB: OKAY WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS!! SOMEONE DO A GOD DAMN DRUMROLL!
CGG: but i play the bass!
CTT: And I play the violin.
CTG: and i make ill beats
CEB: ...wow that's sort of sad. no one here plays the drums? whatever.
CEB: the news i was trying to break is... IS...
CEB: i found a way to get us out of the game!!
CTT: Well. I'm not exactly surprised, but still. This is very good news, John.
CTT: So what MacGuffin have you discovered that will allow us to leave the session?
CEB: we've always been able to leave, actually!
CEB: remember that big-ass record on dave's planet?
CTG: how could i forget
CTG: i see the thing like every time i go on a quest
CTG: my consorts are like "now see here this things a big-ass record but we have no clue
what it does"
CTG: "dont waste your time on it"
CTG: dont waste my time on it like id waste my time on things
CTG: im the master of time remember
CGG: yes, we do... you say this like every time we have a memo!
CTT: You seem very confident of your abilities as a Time player.
CTT: Why do you insist that you're the master of it when you stopped using your powers
after you became a God Tier?
CTG: ugh
CTG: its complicated okay
CEB: what isn't with you?
CGG: >:0 we're getting into dumb rants again!!!! just tell us about what the beat mesa is
for!
CEB: oh right, i forgot it had a name!
CTT: That's fairly justified. It's hardly ever mentioned anywhere in this game.
CTT: I've tried my hardest to get some information on the construct, but every lead I
found ended up being a dead end.
CTT: What was Scratch able to tell you about it?
CEB: okay, well. we can start up a thing called the scratch on it.
CEB: we basically scratch a pattern onto the thing, and then it will reset the game!
CTG: huh
CGG: whooooa!
CTT: Hmm. A full reset? How did this knowledge go by unnoticed?
CTG: knowledge is your business not ours
CTG: well you and jade are sort of little miss psychics
CTG: jade still has that crapton of computers on her and im reasonably sure some of them
are like crystal balls
CTG: rose if i were you id do something about this
CTG: jades trying to steal your style over here
CGG: hehe
CGG: rose was actually the one who gave me the crystal ball! but this is all really
besides the point!!
CEB: okay so... the way we start the scratch is pretty complicated.
CEB: we need to create a pattern across its full diameter, even though i have no clue
what that pattern would look like...
CEB: and we need some weapons called the quills of echidna.
CEB: scratch told me i could find them on lofaf.
CGG: oh, those things! they belong to my denizen!
CGG: but the way to her lair was destroyed when both of our planets collided! how will i
able to find them??
CTG: god you guys are forgetting your most basic powers left and right
CTG: just teleport to them jade
CTG: i honestly dont know why this game even bothers keeping secrets when we can just go
anywhere we want
CTT: If we really can go anywhere we want, why haven't we found about the Scratch sooner?
CTT: If this process really has such drastic consequences, I'm sure the game would have
pointed to it at some point. This seems like the type of thing you'd want your players to
know about.
CTT: Perhaps the game has been intentionally obscuring information about it from us.
CTT: But why? As far as we know, the glitches pervading our game had no pattern except
for when they all transferred to our Gates.
CEB: er. about that. i know who caused the glitches too. AND why the reckoning didn't
happen. but i guess i'll have to explain that later.
CTG: wow dude way to leave us on a massive cliffhanger
CTG: this is some crucial info that youre not telling us here
CTG: what if i knew about a game that gamebro actually gave 5/5 hats to and i didnt tell
you
CEB: oh come on. we both know you would NEVER do that! gamebro hasn't given a game 5/5
hats EVER!
CTG: or have they
CEB: ...dave we don't have time for your mindgames!!!
CTT: I agree. I'm eager to learn more about this. This has been obscured for far too
long.
CEB: alright so. rose, i'm going to need your needlekind specibus.
CEB: the quills are needles, i guess.
CTT: Why would you need my specibus? If the artifacts we use for this scratch are
needles, shouldn't I initiate it?
CEB: scratch sort of implied i'd be the one to set everything into motion.
CTG: huh alright
CTG: guess youd better start flying to lohac then
CTG: get to it
CEB: yeah, you're right! let me do that real quick.
CGG: so when you say a "full reset"...
CGG: do you mean like a reset back to the beginning of this game? like, right before we
all got the copies?
CEB: er. not exactly.
CEB: apparently the scratch "releases an excess amount of temporal energy".
CTG: then it makes sense that its on my planet then
CEB: huh. i guess so.
CEB: basically, the entire universe will be re-written.
CTT: Seriously?
CEB: yeah.
CTT: This is vastly different than what I had in mind.
CTT: A complete wipe of our entire universe? Then you're saying this is a suicide
mission.
CEB: ...i guess so.
CTG: oh well thats just great
CTG: the one time scratch gives us all the information we need on how to leave this game
CTG: and the way we do it is by leaving life entirely
CTG: is this some sort of weird loophole thing
CTG: "oh whoops you guys all died but hey youre out of your game so good for you"
CTT: Normally it would be, if I'm processing the full ramifications of this.
CTT: But wouldn't we be in this new incarnation of the universe?
CEB: scratch said the new game would have different players...
CEB: and we would live new lives with no memory of our old ones.
CGG: john why would you even suggest this as an idea???
CGG: i'm all for leaving this place but you expect us to go through with erasing
ourselves from existence?
CTG: weve all died before
CTG: but this is a fate worse than death
CEB: okay okay, i know this sounds really bad.
CEB: but scratch said that if i told you all how to start the scratch, we would find a
way out of here!
CTT: This is implying that the Scratch itself will not be the key to our egress.
CTT: You're saying we will have to find an alternate way out upon completing the Scratch,
and somehow escape getting erased from existence.
CTT: Exactly how much faith are you expecting us to put in the advice Scratch gave you?
CGG: rose, to be fair, this is the first time he hasn't withheld any facts!
CGG: he even told john who glitched the session!
CGG: i say we go for it! if we can find a way out then this will all be worth it!
CEB: okay, well. i am glad that one of you trusts me. i guess.
CTT: We all trust you, John. It's Scratch I'm worried about.
CTG: he gives off this weird puppetmaster vibe
CTG: i tried to stay away from him and he thankfully didnt talk to me that much
CTG: but anyway thats not all im worried about
CTG: ive been noticing strange things in the fabric of time and space
CTT: How strange are we talking about here?
CTG: really strange things
CTG: like
CTG: cracks
CTT: Cracks in reality? This sounds familiar.
CGG: really??
CTT: Yes. I remember one of the trolls mentioning something about it. Aradia, I think.
CTT: She said that at one point, shortly after our excursion into GodCraft, cracks in
reality had started to appear.
CTT: It was unrelated to the demons they had fought throughout their session after
defeating the Black King, though.
CTT: It was more severe.
CTG: of course they got the trolls have seen them too why not
CTG: everything in paradox space is like a rerun of a rerun
CTG: nothings new its all happened before
CGG: :/ should any of us really be surprised at this point?
CTT: No, not really. At this point Skaia could be a black hole for all I care and I still
wouldn't be surprised.
CEB: hah hah, uh, that sort of came out of nowhere.
CGG: yeah, why would skaia be a black hole? that sounds like a really dumb twist!
CTT: I don't know. Forget I said anything.
CTG: you sure thats not some divine light inspiration or whatever
CTG: sounds pretty important
CTT: Maybe it could have huge relevance and I would have no way of knowing. Information
is so hard to come by in this game.
CTT: It's a miracle we were able to find out this much about the Scratch at all.
CTT: And even then, it was only through the hands of Scratch himself.
CEB: so, uh. these cracks sound awfully important if they're going through the fabric of
reality or whatever!!
CTG: i dont know man i cant really explain it
CTG: but i have felt it before and it was after we went into godcraft
CTG: and it was a lot more intense than this
CTG: not even cracks, just a full blown jagged hole in reality
CTG: it felt like we were in a vulnerable state of some kind
CTG: like anything could pass through
CEB: whoa. i guess we should be glad nothing did!
CGG: yeah... >_> that would have been bad!
CGG: so can we do anything about it? or what??
CTG: nah i doubt theres anything we can do
CTG: its out of our control
CTG: and anyway the situation might resolve itself maybe
CTT: You don't sound too confident.
CTG: well i dont think we should worry about it
CTG: nothing else can really go on in this dump anyway
CTG: this is just like the icing on the convoluted temporal mess of a cake that were
trapped in
CGG: hehe, you can get trapped in cakes?
CTG: dont question the metaphor jade
CTG: if you question the metaphors then you end up questioning english in general
CTG: and then before you know it the public education system is busting down your door
CTG: and you become an english teacher trapped in a small classroom forcing kids to learn
about pointless grammar crap
CTT: Grammar isn't pointless, Dave.
CTG: hell yeah it is why do you think i type in all lowercase
CTG: im too cool for school
CGG: ughhh
i really doubt it
CEB: this is the dumbest metaphor/joke/whatever you have ever made.
CEB: and i wonder how we got so off topic from the scratch!
CEB: i mean i'm flying past skaia right now!
CGG: how is skaia, anyway? i haven't really paid much attention to it after we fought
that giant monster there!!
CEB: ugh, still all purple and corrupted. and definitely NOT a black hole.
CTT: Why are we still discussing the notion that Skaia can warp light itself?
CTT: If it was a black hole we all would have noticed by now.
CTT: The thing produces so much light that its effects would be instant.
CTG: isnt there that thing about how light can only travel so fast
CTT: Light has a fixed speed of 186,000 miles per second, and if the Incipisphere was so
huge that light would take more than a few seconds to reach our eyes from Skaia, it would take John years to even get there.
CTT: And since he's there right now, I can assure you you that the Incipisphere is not
set up to this scale.
CTT: Did you not learn about this at school, Dave?
CTT: Oh wait, I forgot. You're too cool for school.
CTG: god that was meant to be a one-off joke can you guys drop it
CTT: Only if you all drop the Skaia = black hole theory.
CEB: alright, alright. i'll drop it.
CEB: you know, you guys should be heading to lohac too...
CGG: oh, i'll just teleport everyone! i just found the quills i needed
CEB: whoa really? already?
CGG: yeah! it was pretty easy considering my space powers
CEB: haha, right.
CTT: When should I brace myself for teleportation?
CGG: uhh in a few seconds, i just need to give the quills to you first!
CTT: Oh, of course.
CTT: Well that was quick. Here they are, right next to me.
CTT: The craftmanship on these is exquisite, really. But they don't strike me as knitting
needles.
CTG: thats why theyre quills
CTT: I suppose. I wonder why my modus has decided to accept them, however, if they're
more monster-powered quills rather than...
CTT: Hmm. Then again, I've had sticks that writhe with the knowledge of the Elder Gods in
my inventory. Perhaps this is a moot point.
CTT: At least we now have the necessary instruments to reset our game.
CEB: alright, i'm closing in on lohac now.
CGG: i can't believe it, this is it! this game is almost over!!
CTT: Don't get your hopes up too high. We still have to figure out a way to properly exit
the game first.
CTT: And now we'll be under a time limit. Once we initiate the Scratch, we will have its
duration to find a way out.
CTT: I'm assuming directly or very shortly afterwards, the game will reset, so that
doesn't give us a lot of time.
CTG: i would use my time powers to help matters but
CTT: But what?
CTG: i dunno its just
CTG: i dont feel very confident using them anymore
CTG: ever since i noticed the cracks in reality ive felt like i havent really done my job
as a time player
CTG: thats to above all not screw up anything important with time
CTG: and thats really whats been happening
CTT: The Scratch releases an excess of temporal energy, Dave.
CTT: You will practically be in your element during it, and I wouldn't necessarily worry
about the stability of our universe.
CTT: We're resetting it anyway, and even if that doesn't fix what you've noticed, we're
going to be leaving the game shortly.
CTT: So I wouldn't worry about it.
CEB: heheh. at least, we should be leaving if everything goes according to
plan...hopefully it will!
CTG: wow look at that overwhelming vote of confidence from john
CTG: hes so confident that sooner or later hes going to form like a giant fireball of
confidence or something
CTG: just lighting up the entire sky and then burning himself to ashes like some kind of
bs phoenix
CTG: and everyone will be like yup theres john
CTG: cause of death is thinking he was too cool
CEB: you're one to talk. that's probably how YOU'RE going to die!
CTG: dammit
CTG: ugh i really need to step up my game with insults this isnt like me
CTT: This game has put us through a lot of stress. Too much stress. It's time we got it
over with.
CEB: and there's the beat mesa...
CEB: oh hey, i see you guys are already here!
CTG: what we are
CTG: oh hell we are
CTG: wow jade whatever happened to a few seconds that was like five minutes ago
CGG: i like to surprise people! hehe
CTT: That was... fairly disorienting.
CTT: Is that what you see every time you teleport?
CGG: yup! you get used to it
CGG: im sure if you had my powers you would too!
CTG: oh god i think im gonna be sick but the only place to throw up is in the lava
CTG: which for some reason strikes me as odd
CEB: and here we are!
CEB: alright i'm here. i guess we don't have to talk on this memo now that we're next to
each other...
CGG: agreed!
CGG ceased responding to memo.
CTG: yeah im just gonna
CTG: go
CTG ceased responding to memo.
CTT: Likewise. Dave put it quite eloquently.
CTT ceased responding to memo.
CEB ceased responding to memo.
CEB closed memo.
JOHN: well hey! glad you guys could make it!
DAVE: come on youre making this seem like more than it is
DAVE: all jade had to was probably snap her fingers or something
JADE: hehe yeah that is pretty much all i had to do
JADE: the thing about these powers is that i can do so much just by thinking about it!
JADE: i could probably switch this planet with skaia or something
JADE: maybe i could make this whole session a game of musical planets! :0
ROSE: I'd rather not see that.
ROSE: We already know what happened when two planets' positions became skewed.
ROSE: And seeing you go power-hungry unnerves me quite a bit, so I think I'll pass on
that.
JADE: oh rose you know i was just joking around >_>
DAVE: "you can never be too sure"
ROSE: You can never be too--
ROSE: ...Really.
DAVE: oh come on it was obvious you were going to say that
DAVE: being the master elite pyschoanalyser and all
DAVE: can you ever be too sure in your line of "work"
JOHN: bluhhhhh. you guys are getting WAY TOO OFF TOPIC!
JOHN: it's time to actually start the scratch!
DAVE: okay so weve got the quills
JOHN: yeah.
DAVE: and we have roses specibus
ROSE: Yeah.
DAVE: and we know we have to scratch some kind of pattern onto this thing
JOHN: ...yes.
DAVE: okay so now what
JOHN: i... guess i have no idea.
DAVE: goddammit john
TWINJA! EXCEPT NOT REALLY BECAUSE ITS NOT AN UPDATE! Anyway... I read the whole thing so that I could not understand it thoroughly and completely. I really don't understand much of what's going, so I'll just smile and applaud? I guess? Although... as much as I hate to ask it, I have to. Does this mean the Disk of Mojang and the First Block and all that was another Homestuck reference? Because I see some... striking... similarities to what's going on here... sigh... at this point, it seems like Homestuck is referenced more than Minecraft is...
Alright then. Fseftr, you deserve the Kitsune Charm. You were in second place for efficiency back in the Dream Scape if I remember correctly. And I just noticed, Ire, you want the Potion Supply? You probably don't want to part with either the Table Leg or Twitchy Staff, so could I have the Brass Knuckles? All I really ask is that you try to synergize the Potion Supply with the Kitsune Charm to get double or even triple use out of it. Could you please do that? It would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I designed the Kitsune Charm with synergy in mind rather than raw damage.
50/50 SPENT ON FOLLOWING ATTACK and 25/50 +1 to Generic and Tazz.
I point the Staff of Ysera at the three PG entities and a beam of green flame streaks towards and then wraps itself around them and binds to the place they stand. The flames then link together, forming a triangle and pulling the three entities together. When they've been pulled into an equilateral triangle, some of the flames siphon off into the center. They swirl and spin into a raging whirlpool of emerald flames. They spin faster and faster until the entire whirlpool explodes outward, scorching the three entities. In its place, stands a large green drake, with scales gleaming like gems. After flexing its wings, it suddenly roars up into the sky as the power of nightmares flows into it. Then it turns and crashes into the Error before turning back and shredding the other two and thrashing around to hit all three. Still bound by the flames, they are helpless to fight back and are even dragged by the infernal chains into the drake's waiting claws and fangs. This would continue on, but the power of nightmares isn't sustainable and having one creature hold it for too long is quite deadly. So, I quickly cast a dream spell on it, pulling it out of action and back into the safety of the Dream. (no, not Wilson's)

Beginning of Wilson's Epilog...
In a panic, Wilson suddenly bolts strait up and looks around. He was back in the emporium. More specifically, in the basement, by the Dune machine he had built (you know, the thingy that allows for O0O with potions). How did he get here? Did Hank drop him off here? But... the destruction... there was nothing left. His flimsy patchwork of bricks and planks wouldn't stand a whelk's chance in a supernova. It must have been a dream, right? Right? He wished for that to be the case with all of his little bleeding heart. If it was all a dream, he could go back to normal, brewing potions in one of the only two places he had ever called home. The world wouldn't be broken. He wouldn't have to deal with the soul crushing weight of seeing his world burnt to not even ashes. It would all be okay. But... in the back of his mind, he knew that it simply wasn't true. As dark and loathing as his mind could be, he doubted it could come up with such horrors as breaking his entire world. Something was definitely wrong here. Either this was an illusion, a dream, or his first step into complete and total madness. That last one might be a little exaggerated and unlikely, but he had lost his faith in the world, or rather, what's left of it, and so anything seemed plausible.
Wilson plodded over to the Dune with his head down low and his ears falling by his sides. Might as well see if he left anything in it. Climbing up to the little pedestal he had built himself, he gently spun the main mixing chamber. Offering no real resistance, the barrel spun easily and smoothly. But then, the axle broke and the barrel crashed into the ground and shattered into a neat little mess of broken planks and splinters. Now without one of the main cross bars, the rest of the machine collapsed inward on itself, fragile connections breaking as they fell onto the earth. Wilson was left standing slightly above a pile of splintered wood, rusted metal, and sprung pipes.
And I was just joking about how happy I am...
And with that, he burst into tears again over a wreckage he could never save.

The First Block and Disc of Mojang were concepts created by me for DTG2. They are not based off of anything in Homestuck, and have to do with Minecraft and DTG. However, what they were used for in Act 2 (scratching the First Block with the Disc) was based off of Homestuck. Keep in mind, though, that this was during a time when the entire game was a Homestuck reference.
So no, they are not Homestuck references themselves.
Actually, Talist, I was planning on trading you it for the Magma Multiplier. What say you?

@Twin: I'm sorry. I feel like I'm going to be seeing Homestuck references stalking me from around the street corner for months to come. Even though I can't really tell what one is unless it has it explicitly painted on.
@Fseftr: Oh, uh, sure. That's... nice of you. I guess sorry to Irecreeper, because if I have the Kitsune Charm, I want to hold onto the Potion Supply due to SYNERGY! I think with the Kitsune Charm, that makes my 3 most appropriate spoils.

Your storyposts probably take place after what I'm up to on Housetrapped, judging by everyone's magic powers.
Well, I'll try catching up.
An alternate timeline emerges.
However, we must first start from the beginning...
Okay, generic made a backstory behind it, which is what I said was the original criteria, so there we go, generic gets it.
Hey sigma! Welcome back!
I ran out of time while reading the Homestuck post.

Nope, sorry guys, no Destroy the Godmodder relevant stuff here...
At least, not yet.

Okay, I claim the Inferno Servo. Also, nice post Twin. I guess the storyline will be resolved in Act 5?

Anyway, gotta fit two more posts in this turn because important things.
WHO... WHO ARE YOU?
i'm you. i'm... *cough*... your avatar.
BUT. WHAT HAPPENED. TO YOU?
i... i got torn apart by a giant wither and lost my soul, okay? i don't like to talk about it.
I... WHAT HAVE I DONE?
what do you mean?
I. CREATED YOU. BUT. I LEFT YOU. HERE TO DIE. WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT.
we've both done worse.
...STILL.
Serpent reaches down to pull her avatar up. But something odd is happening. Her skin is... melding into her avatar's. She tries to pull away, but it is too late for that. A cast-off piece of herself has finally been reunited with her.
Oh no
I congratulate Twin on another excellent effort-tastic storypost, and then continue advancing my "suspicious video game generosity" healing company. With political maneuvering, I send out robotic expeditions to retrieve wealth and healing items from the now-abandoned player forts strewn across Godcraft. Once they return, I build a giant cannon and shoot the healing items into the sky, with them falling down and creating health pickups everywhere.

Hello, Sigmatw! You're just in time, as you have conveniently came back for the final battle of DTG2! The Godmodder is MIA, but also on his very last Hit Point!
Gutza, Netpatham ninja'd you to the Spoil. Sorry about that. Perhaps asking someone if they'd be willing to loan you something out of the kindness in their hearts?

...does Sigmatw get his old spoils back? I feel that he should.

(What does the Prism do? Can't find it in the OP...)
My sig got screwed up because of a forum glitch and I'm too lazy to go find the banners to fix it.
So here's a cool server id; Runic-Moon.uk.to
He was absent for a very long time, so unless Twin has anything to say about it the answer is no. As Crusher48 was the rightful owner of the HHHH but didn't get it back when he returned, I really don't think he can count on it. Unless, of course, you were willing to donate those Spoils back to him.
The Prism is the only Spoil that can heal. It has 3 post charge to it, and when used, it unleashes a wave of cookies onto an Entity, healing them to a serious degree.

DARN IT!
Grrr. I wish I had a spoil of my own that I could've traded to Netpatham. Hmm. Hey Talist, would you be willing to give me the Glitch Wrench? You have 3 spoils already. Plus it'd fit Lothyra being an engineer. Though TBH the Shockwave Laser Cannon would be my pick.
