Theatre of the Absurd - earlog-sanctuary

MysteryBot BOT 10-Aug-21 07:01 PM

-----Phase 1----- SANCTUARY Finally, a moment of respite. You'd think the afterlife would be a place to escape from the chaos of life, but apparently it's even worse here! You can take a break here though, in this temple to all things beautiful and natural. Elegantly carved brickwork intertwines with the vines and leaves of the forest, forming a comforting shell, the roof open to dappled sunlight. At the heart of the temple lies a perfectly still pool of crystal-clear water, guarded by a statue to an unknown yet benevolent deity. You feel like if you bathe in it, everything plaguing you will dissipate... In the grove outside the forest, there are all sorts of beautiful plants and flowers growing, covering the floor in a canopy of colour! You wonder what they would taste like... Perhaps that beautiful aroma wafting on the air? Oh wait, no! That aroma is the smell of freshly cooked bread. There's a baguette here, for some reason carved in a unique shape of grooves. Perhaps its supposed to fit into something? That's difficult to do, as the baguette is set in a stone! Perhaps someone could pull it out. Murtaugh is sat in the temple, seemingly attracted to architecture that reminds him of the Subnet. Dr Doofenshmirtz is also there, for... some reason. Maybe he just wants to hang with a fellow scientist? From here, you can go to PLEROMA or PURGATORY. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/871377312606728212/874340707320594452/sanctuary.png

Hello!

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 07:03 PM

Fuck.

Where... are we?

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 07:05 PM

Darn it!

I never should have trusted that drunkard!

Um, hello everyone

My name is Retsuko, and I'm very unsuree what to do with myself now...

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 07:07 PM

Sucks for you. I've got a mission.

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 07:08 PM

A mission?

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 07:09 PM

I'm going to get revenge.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 10-Aug-21 07:10 PM

The name's Kazuma Kiryu

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 07:10 PM

Oh...

ok, good luck with that!

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 07:10 PM

I assume you guys are dead.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 10-Aug-21 07:10 PM

Get revenge on what?

this is just a normal day for me

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 07:11 PM

Whatever you say.

My predecessor was killed.

That doesn't really matter on its own. But what I am is a mistake.

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 07:13 PM

I wonder what would happen if i go in the water?

Well, um, if anyone needs help with anything, let me know, I might be able to help!

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 07:14 PM

There's no point. You're not hurt.

Better save its effects for later, kitten.

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 07:14 PM

Oh, right, I am dead

I guess

Ehhh? Hahaha, no I'm a panda!

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 07:15 PM

Hmph.

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 07:15 PM

Don't worry i get that sometimes

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 08:18 PM

Hey everyone! I'm Hilda! Looks like I have something in common with some of you. I also trusted someone, and she killed me! Can't believe she'd do that...

Anyway, I was hoping I could have some of my Pokemon with me here, but all my Pokeballs are missing. And there doesn't seem to be any tall grass around here anyway.

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 08:22 PM

...Pokemon?

I think I've heard of that somewhere, what is that?

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 08:27 PM

Pokemon are creatures that people known as Pokemon trainers catch to train them and battle with them! You see, I'm a Pokemon trainer myself.

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 08:28 PM

Oh! Right, I've heard of one called Peekachu

He's really cute!

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 08:32 PM

Yeah, Pikachu's a real cutie! I wish there were Pikachu living in Unova where I'm from. We don't have any back home, so I'd have to go a whole different region to catch one!

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 08:33 PM

I've never heard of Unova, that must be really far away

Come to think of it, i suppose no one here probably lives near each other, we seem all pretty different!

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 08:37 PM

I think you're right! I hope we all get along well. I think we'd all make a great team!

Retsuko BOT 10-Aug-21 08:39 PM

uhh, we're a team?

I, um, I suppose so! Hahaha...

We have to stick together in heaven, so they say

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 08:46 PM

Totally! I think a journey's always more fun when you have friends with you by your side, so if you all want to stick together, I'm happy to have you all join in!

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 08:48 PM

Oh god, this is too much peppiness.

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 08:53 PM

I think it's important to keep your spirits up! Being peppy like this helps makes things more fun!

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 10-Aug-21 09:11 PM

do you have an idea where these pokemon may be?

i could keep an eye out and help you find them

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 09:15 PM

I appreciate it! Usually, they live in tall grass, but I don't see any patches of grass around here. I'm not actually sure if there are any wild Pokemon around here. This place looks pretty different from home, after all!

I hope there are other Pokemon trainers around here to battle! That'll definitely liven things up if I can find one. But if there truly aren't any wild Pokemon around here, I'll have to think of what to do...

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 09:25 PM

You're free to go near any wild monster you see, but I don't expect you to last long until you're killed a second time.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 10-Aug-21 09:28 PM

you expect me to go down so easy?

i can handle myself in a fight

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 09:29 PM

If there are any potions here, they make great healing items in a battle against wild Pokemon!

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 09:31 PM

Hey, I'm not the one who was killed...

God BOT 10-Aug-21 09:32 PM

Really? Then how'd you get here? You mortals sometimes...

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 10:00 PM

That was my predecessor.

I'm a clone, born out of a laboratory. And I'm not going down as easily as she did.

Luci BOT 10-Aug-21 10:02 PM

(There is a large alien accompanying Ripley, visible to all)

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 10-Aug-21 10:03 PM

wait what

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 10:03 PM

I guess you've met Minnie.

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 10:03 PM

You know, that reminds me of a story I've heard from people in the Kanto region about a legendary Pokemon named Mewtwo! You two have very similar backgrounds.

Ripley BOT 10-Aug-21 10:04 PM

That sounds like another cat.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 10-Aug-21 10:06 PM

do we have to find it? i'm really good at finding cats

Hilda BOT 10-Aug-21 10:07 PM

Haha, that's a good one! I guess it does sound like a cat when you think about it. I don't think it's a cat though. I don't have a Pokedex entry registered for it--and even if I did, I don't have my Pokedex anyway--but that's what I've heard!

I don't think we have to find it. It's probably really far away from here.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 10-Aug-21 11:44 PM

no i'm being serious here, i found 20 cats spread across two cities

and those things hide really well

Hilda BOT 11-Aug-21 01:07 AM

Woah, really?! That's impressive! I'd have to rely on a Stoutland if I wanted to do that. That'd be so much harder to do by myself!

Ripley BOT 11-Aug-21 04:27 PM

Anyway, I'm going to purgatory. My "friend" must be in hell to repent.

Retsuko BOT 11-Aug-21 04:38 PM

okay byeee!

Hilda BOT 11-Aug-21 05:50 PM

Hmm, I don’t know what’s going on with your friend, but I sure hope you find him! What about the rest of you, where are you all going?

Retsuko BOT 11-Aug-21 05:53 PM

I'm going for a walk over to the pleroma

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 11-Aug-21 05:58 PM

going to check out purgatory, i sure hope they have a casino there

Hilda BOT 11-Aug-21 06:16 PM

Sounds like a plan! Retsuko, I’ll join you over in the pleroma!

LOCK

God BOT 11-Aug-21 07:19 PM

Ahh, what a relaxing time you all had here! As opposed to whatever's going on in hell, I'm sure.

Anyway, let's look at what you all are doing!

Retsuko starts to go on a nice stroll around the sanctuary. She seems to have something on her mind.

Ripley looks at the large, imposing alien that's been following her around.

What's she going to do with it?

...She takes it to the pool of water and starts washing it.

The alien looks a bit displeased, but it's also happy to be spending time with Ripley.

And while this was happening, Hilda was looking around.

I'm not quite sure what she was looking for, but it seems that her search was unsuccessful.

Suddenly, Kazuma moves over to the Baguette!

He starts trying to yank it out of the stone, when suddenly..!

Retsuko, lost in thought, bumps into him.

"Oops!"

1

Even without the interference, it looks like Kazuma wouldn't have been able to pull the baguette from the stone.

Retsuko moved to pleroma

Kyoko tries to grab the Baguette, but as soon as she touches the handle, a seal appears over the sword, and knocks her away!

The Plague is just standing around, not doing much.

But like everyone else in the area, it can hear something.

nailgun

BIG It's an overheat nailgun! It has two charges. It does a decent amount of damage with its base attack. If you expend a heat charge, the nails get a lot more powerful! They can pin whoever they hit to the ground, cancelling their movement action. You may also be able to jam these charged nails into surfaces! However, once both charges have been expended, the weapon does no more damage than a regular attack.

Pasqualo Trianglini BOT 14-Aug-21 12:09 AM

As an immortal cyborg, I have seen a lot of people die. I've tried fighting for... something, before - and all it ended up in was blood and tears.

If I build something for others to enjoy, a sanctuary much like the place we're in now - it will be ripped down.

Pasqualo Trianglini BOT 14-Aug-21 12:14 AM

It's a long story, buddy. I built a school-slash-apocalypse shelter in the middle of an apocalypse, a ton of people came for safety... and then aliens came and blew it all up. And they were prepared for everything I did. And they killed at least a few of my exes.

And if there's anything I've learned from that it's that no matter what you do, life will come up with a new way to eviscerate you - so eviscerate life first.

V1 BOT 14-Aug-21 12:16 AM

So now you just kill for the thrill of it? With no path to a future? Living in a constant state of contempt in the fear that you’ll find another roadblock along your way?

fishbunjin looks at pasqualo in worry. He slowly walks over to the pool, and does laps around it. The exercise and water help him not think about any of that. He does not want to. He hates that he feels that way sometimes. Why did V1 have to bring it up?

Ultra Fishbunjin 3000 BOT 14-Aug-21 01:10 AM

(No worries)

Pasqualo Trianglini BOT 14-Aug-21 01:12 AM

Pasqualo sits with his arms crossed over his knees deep in thought. Man, whoever thought putting the earth back together was a great idea? God? Well, I guess that's just what happens whenever people destroy the world now. God or SOMEONE decides to just stick it all back up together with a wad of gum, some masking tape, hot glue, and a small bit of WD-40.

It doesn't matter anyways. Somehow, he managed to die by getting trapped within a burning building... and now... well. Pasqualo just kind of looks up at the sights in front of him.

1

An extremely muscular fishduck swimming in the pool masked in blood, a killer robot who seems to want to judge him on his life choices; and... is that a sheep of some kind? It just wants peace.

Sometimes, he wishes for the days where all he had to deal with was a small goblin that only wanted KFC.

Unfortunately, this is not that day. It's not even that year.

Pasqualo lets out an incredibly tired sigh, and stretches.

Look, it's the first time I've met you all - and I'm not opposed to companionship... but last time I fell in love, I died... and ended up here. Next time I fall in love, I might cease to exist.

That Diogenes guy talked a lot about self-imposed objectives.

Ultra Fishbunjin 3000 BOT 14-Aug-21 01:21 AM

fishbunjin kind of glances over while continuing to swim

Pasqualo Trianglini BOT 14-Aug-21 01:21 AM

Part of mine is to kill a few of the important people here - people considered "Lost Souls". Like you, boss - or Fishbunjin. Of course, I wouldn't bother trying doing that; because we have the same goals here.

Another part of mine is also to kill some of the background characters lying around and make sure any area is completely clear of them. Background souls. Remember those Roa and Lich characters? They count for that.

I don't have to clear every area. Just a few.

Pasqualo Trianglini BOT 14-Aug-21 01:31 AM

Ahhhh... well. About that. I vaguely remember something about Satan making me sign a contract of some kind...? So it's a legally binding kind of thing. And I signed it around the time I died, so... I wasn't thinking straight to begin with. It's a clause of the contract, I guess.

Cool! As Pasq breaks away, his palm is caked in a thin layer of blood which he shakes away. Looks like it's written in blood, then.

Pasqualo Trianglini BOT 14-Aug-21 01:35 AM

My first contract was something along the lines of "Kill everyone. Yes, everyone. All the souls in both heaven and hell; God and Satan, and anyone... spectating." Although even I wasn't sure what that last part meant.

Satan told me it was a bad idea. While mass murder is the sort of thing you go to hell for, it causes a bit of a ruckus and... y'know. No one would really be happy with that.

Fishbunjin reaches for something...

Diogenes covers his ears as Squidward plays his first note.

SCREE-

SUDDENLY, FISHBUNJIN GRABS SQUIDWARD OUT OF THE AIR, INTERRUPTING HIS PERFORMANCE!

1

WITH PERFECT FORM, FISHBUNJIN TRANSITIONS INTO A DIVE, TAKING BOTH HIM AND SQUIDWARD INTO THE LAKE

Witnessing all of this, Pasqualo chuckles to himself, and...

STABS HIMSELF IN THE HAND?!?

He somehow doesn't seem too upset by this self-inflicted injury.

Instead, he...

CANNONBALLS INTO THE RIVER AFTER FISHBUNJIN!

Splash!

Squidward, now utterly doused in water mutters to himself.

"What are tho-"

ZAP!

1

SPARKS START TO FLY FROM PASQUALO'S WOUND, ELECTROCUTING THE WATER!

"OUCH!" Squidward shouts before looking behind him.

Fishbunjin, still holding on tight to Squidward, seems to be rapidly sinking!

Could this be a weakness of his?

Pasqualo, concerned for his buddy, rapidly takes his hand out of the water to stop the electric current.

...

splash!

A bluish, aquatic figure emerges from the water...

One that seems extremely buff!

Fishbunjin emerges, seemingly unharmed!

1

...

A few moments later, Squidward emerges, coughing for air.

-----Phase 6----- SANCTUARY Finally, a moment of respite. You'd think the afterlife would be a place to escape from the chaos of life, but apparently it's even worse here! You can take a break here though, in this temple to all things beautiful and natural. Elegantly carved BRICKWORK intertwines with the vines and leaves of the forest, forming a comforting shell, the roof open to dappled sunlight. At the heart of the temple lies a perfectly still pool of crystal-clear water, guarded by a statue to an unknown yet benevolent deity. You feel like if you bathe in it, everything plaguing you will dissipate... In the grove outside the forest, there are all sorts of beautiful plants and flowers growing, covering the floor in a canopy of colour! You wonder what they would taste like... Perhaps that beautiful aroma wafting on the air? Oh wait, no! That aroma is the smell of freshly cooked bread. There's a baguette here, for some reason carved in a unique shape of grooves. Perhaps its supposed to fit into something? That's difficult to do, as the baguette is set in a stone! Perhaps someone could pull it out. Murtaugh is sat in the temple, seemingly attracted to architecture that reminds him of the Subnet. Dr Doofenshmirtz is also there, for... some reason. Maybe he just wants to hang with a fellow scientist? From here, you can go to PLEROMA or PURGATORY. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/871377312606728212/874340707320594452/sanctuary.png

Pah.

Nothing.

well hello Plague

I don't think we've properly met each other except for maybe through the radio

Oh! As a disclaimer, anyone at Pleroma will know what we're saying.

some Hell folk are over at Pleroma along with the other end of the radio connection I have

They wanted me to stay behind around here so they could get some extra intel.

though I don't know if your goals are the same as theirs

I think they want to take down God?

They said they might be at Pleroma for a bit so maybe they're anticipating a lengthy battle with God

And...

I'm going to stop them

1

...Actually they can do whatever they want with him

I've been wronged by God plenty of times that I'm on verge of helping them overthrow God

1

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:03 AM

Yeah I'm planning to overthrow him

Do you know who else is planning to kill the guy

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:04 AM

Well… Baba, Altered Beast, Eridan, and Zero all went to Pleroma

But from my time with them, Zero seemed the most interested in “having a word with God”.

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:06 AM

If we do fight God do you know if he'll try to fight back

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:07 AM

I… don’t know

I still don’t really understand his intentions at all

Especially regarding this “war”

The most I know is that he can make “minor miracles” occur

Like taking one of my ribs and transforming it into non-functioning pair of radios.

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:11 AM

Do you know about that joss guy

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:11 AM

I think he’s about to die

He’s in the tree right now.

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:12 AM

He didn't seem to be doing too well last time I saw him and I think he's apart of pops objective

Wait what

Whos trying to kill him

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:12 AM

Several people

Including Pasqualo, Fishbunjin, and Ripley

All of whom are also in the tree right now

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:13 AM

Oh well how much health does he have

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:13 AM

Last time I saw his health, 1.5

And I overheard Pasqualo and Ripley doing the math on how they could do enough damage to kill Joss

1

I’d take a guess and say there’s about a 90% chance Joss is dead at the end of this phase.

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:17 AM

Can you tell me why they want him dead

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:18 AM

Pasqualo and the fish are just bloodthirsty

I believe Pasqualo’s goal is to kill 4 people

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:20 AM

And no one Is trying to stop him

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:21 AM

There is this Kiryu guy at the tree who said “Killing people is bad” but he’s not really helping too much

And I doubt he stands a chance against the shotgun Pasqualo has

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:22 AM

Well ok then

Didn't know we had shotguns

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:25 AM

The shotgun was actually around since phase 1 when Wayne grabbed it.

But then Sean grabbed it after Wayne became a tree

And then Pasqualo kicked Sean in the crotch and stole the shotgun from him.

So it made the rounds

There’s also plenty of other guns as well but that robot V1 has most of them

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:28 AM

Should we kill these people?

Like the hostile ones

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:29 AM

Hmm… there’s too many hostile people to count around these parts

And personally I can’t really do much against them even if I tried

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:31 AM

Well ill give you a gift since I've got nothing to do this phase

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:33 AM

Oh.. I appreciate that.

Presuming the gift isn’t a concussion that is

But you seem pretty trustworthy so far

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 01:40 AM

I'm going to improve the fountain over there you can use it right after I'm done

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 01:44 AM

Okay, I was planning to use that water anyway so I’ll look forward to this improvement.

And while I'm here with you I might as well give more information about what's going on.

For one, Kyoko is at the Rooftops right now. And at the Rooftops, there's a new connection to an area called France.

And in France right now are the duck and Garfield

There are the people I already mentioned who are in the tree being Kiryu, Joss, Fishbunjin, Pasqualo, and Ripley.

I know that Hilda, Baba, Altered Beast, Eridan, and Zero are at Pleroma Retsuko is at Purgatory Sean is at Greed

Retsuko and Hilda are coming here next phase for the water as they want to cure their infection from the tree.

As for everyone else, I only have last known whereabouts from within the last two phases

V1 and Superb were at Purgatory Phase 6 Squidward and Diogenes were at Cloudtops Phase 6 Brine was at Cloudtops Phase 5

A lot of this information may not be useful for you. But information is really all I can offer.

Plague BOT 17-Aug-21 05:06 AM

Infection from the tree?

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:13 AM

There was a ritual done on Phase 4 at Cloudtops that turned Wayne into the tree, and for the ritual to work four people each had to offer an item. Those four people each got a dark mutation. Those four being Sean, Hilda, Retsuko, and Brine.

And “infection” was the term Diogenes used to describe the dark mutation.

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:37 AM

And if you don't mind I'm going to summarize our interactions so far for the fine folks on the other end of the radio (partially because I didn't know the spy channel had to be manually moved down here so they missed out on some dialogue they should have been able to see)

For the radio people at Pleroma, the following has happened

I dropped down to Sanctuary where the only other person there was Plague

I informed Plague about the other radio's current presence in Pleroma

I mentioned how I believed you guys at Pleroma were planning to do something to God, seemingly with Zero being the driving force. Plague also wishes to overthrow God and I commented that I don't care what happens to God

Plague asked about Joss so I explained what was going on inside the tree

Including who wanted Joss dead and why

1

Specifically I stated that Pasqualo, the fish, and Ripley were planning out Joss's death, and that Pasqualo has to kill four people

I said that Kiryu was trying to prevent Joss's death but didn't do too good of a job at convincing the others not to kill Joss.

If Joss survives it's probably due to luck

I explained the gun situation and what happened with the shotgun in particular where Wayne got it Phase 1, Sean picked it up Phase 4, and Pasqualo stole it from Sean on Phase 5.

Plague asked if we should kill these hostile people and I replied that I couldn't even if I tried since I have no form of offense nor defense

Plague says they're going to give me a gift this phase

And that they'll improve the water here

Finally, I provided what I know about everyone's current location, including last known whereabouts for people who's current location is unknown to me.

1

Kyoko isn't down here yet and is at Rooftops still

Now that's out of the way I might as well elaborate on the dark mutation

There's some fear that if the mutation gets worse it may end up overtaking their host

Which is why Diogenes suggested that Hilda and Retsuko head to the Sanctuary to cleanse themselves

He also recommended they split up in the case one of them is overtaken so that the other wouldn't be put at risk.

Which is why Retsuko is at Purgatory and Hilda is at Pleroma

It's also important to note that Retsuko entered the tree earlier and after leaving, her mutation worsened to a darkest mutation.

However, she may have fought off her mutation a bit at the end of last phase? It's a bit unclear but she definitely messed with her mutation in some way.

From the looks of it, the tree only makes an already present mutation worse, it doesn't seem that the people who were inside the tree last phase, Pasqualo, Fishbunjin, and Kiryu, got a mutation.

If the tree were to give anyone who enters the tree a mutation, that would expand the list of infected to 9.

Being Pasqualo, Fishbunjin, and every single Heaven folk besides me.

In the tree last phase, Joss got in a pretty big argument with Ripley, Fishbunjin, Pasqualo

I believe Ripley was upset that Joss threatened to harm her pet

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:47 PM

pet

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:47 PM

yeah

It's an alien of some sort

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:47 PM

id ask a surprise noodle after that but yknoww my policies on usin punctuation

1

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:48 PM

Ripley also complained about Joss's bad writing but that kind of confusing to me

1

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:48 PM

that is not at all creepy

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:49 PM

listen im also an alien a some sort

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:49 PM

and?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:49 PM

wwait wwas that said in sarcasm i cant tell

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:49 PM

eating some alien sounds pretty good to me.

figure it out

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:49 PM

i refuse

dry continue

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:50 PM

~~what a bitch~~

you're lucky I just had my meal

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:50 PM

Ripley and Pasqualo got along well

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:50 PM

oh really i find that kinda surprisin but alright

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 09:50 PM

Okay what Joss is this

I don't think I met him

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:51 PM

And they did some math together in order to calculate how they can kill Joss

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:51 PM

cmon noww i opened the vvault for you remember doesnt that count for anythin

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:51 PM

good point

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:52 PM

I believe Ripley said his last name was Whedon if that helps?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:52 PM

i havvent met him firsthand either but ivve observved him an heard a him from others

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:52 PM

This Joss guy also directed and wrote some movies

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:52 PM

Joss is just some mediocre director

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 09:52 PM

Joss Whedon?

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:52 PM

he's not important

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 09:52 PM

that's the guy who made Alien Resurrection

what a shit movie lmao

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:53 PM

true!

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:55 PM

And honestly not much else seemed to happen in the tree except for Joss yelling. A lot did happen when actions came around though.

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:55 PM

lets hear it then

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:56 PM

First, I believe the tree tried to attack Ripley's pet but speared Ripley instead.

Joss then attacked Pasqualo with some sort of glass object.

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:57 PM

oh so it can attack people alright

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:57 PM

Fishbunjin consequently tore Joss in half

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 09:57 PM

based

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:57 PM

I thought he only had his head?

and based

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:58 PM

Joss had everything but his head.

Now he only has half a body

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:58 PM

wwhich half

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 09:58 PM

that's what I ment

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:59 PM

like an arm an a leg or both legs or both arms or wwhat wwhats his situation

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 09:59 PM

I don't know what remains of Joss. He might not even be alive anymore.

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 09:59 PM

but youre not sure if youre hearin in the tree right noww or somewwhere outside it right

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:00 PM

Correct

The only people I've heard from so far are Pasqualo, Fishbunjin, and Kiryu

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:00 PM

Who was in the tree last phase

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:01 PM

Pasqualo, Fishbunjin, Kiryu, Ripley, and Joss

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:01 PM

ah

well

is the tree dead?

I feel like we'd know by now if it were

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:01 PM

Kiryu and Pasqualo did attack the tree.

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:01 PM

if it's dead they're probably outside

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:02 PM

Kiryu used some sort of electrical weapon to shock the tree, while Pasqualo used his shotgun.

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 10:03 PM

must of been his railgun.

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:03 PM

Pasqualo specifically stuck the shotgun into Wayne's torso and blasted him.

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 10:03 PM

brutal.

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:03 PM

hey uh wait was it always dark in here

is the sun gone

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:04 PM

suns gone yeah

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 10:04 PM

I don't remember.

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:04 PM

Oh wait

oh yeah V1 jumped into the sun two phases ago

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 10:04 PM

BASED

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:04 PM

might have killed it

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:05 PM

i recall hearin a mighty crash from the pleroma as the sun fuckin vvanished

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:05 PM

I heard the same crash from here.

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:05 PM

same

The sun fucking died I guess

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:08 PM

oh right i wwas gonna tell dry about wwhat happened in the pleroma i forgot

so it started out wwith me an hild linkin up introductions info givvin goal exchange an wwhatnot us establishin some sorta partnership

as me alt bab an zer wwere gearin up to fight god wwho wwas givvin us the silent treatment for a wwhile

i tried to get hild on board wwith the prospect but she refused in spite a my wwillinness to become her pokemon if she complied

im noww her pokemon anywways since wwe got things wworked out wwith god

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:12 PM

I'm jealous, I totally would have fought God. Maybe get a better radio in the process.

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:13 PM

wwhen god finally started talkin to us he offers us a task to get him to step dowwn

basically one a the hellborn there in the pleroma wwould havve to die

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:15 PM

And let me guess... you declined the offer?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:16 PM

wwhen he said that if wwe did this in a manner pleasin to him or some such hed grant it from there i surmised that this wwas a test a character

as i wwas the quickest on the draww he tried to get the others to turn on me pointin out howw im likely the wweakest a the pack

i mean wwhat could i really do if alt zer an bab all turned on me right

thankfully one by one wwe all declined the task intent on continuin the fight in spite a evverythin

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:18 PM

The power of friendship saves all?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:19 PM

more like the powwer a unitin around this guy bein a douchenozzle savvin all

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:19 PM

..That's also valid

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:19 PM

but yeah surprise surprise he congratulated us an especially me on figurin it out an left heavven in our hands

alts now the ruler a heavven an wwevve got some blessed powwers though i dunno if evveryone elses is the same as mine

its kinda like my coins actually but more sevvere i can offer a big temporary boost (+5) to someone at the cost a wwhatevver im tryin to do at the time (-5) by invvokin the blessed powwer a order

i wwasnt sure if i could fuckin like bless the wwater somehoww usin this powwer to fix it maybe alt got somethin a bit more pertinent to fixin this situation that i can offer a boost for

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:23 PM

I can tell you a bit about this green water.

Plague said she turned it green as a "gift" for me

Didn't really trust her enough to drink it blindly though.

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:24 PM

you didn't think about the fact that her name is "Plague" did you

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:24 PM

wwhatd you do for your action if i could ask

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:24 PM

...

I filled up a jar with the green water

Didn't touch the water myself

So you can freely make the water normal again with little caution.

Since I got some of the green water in case it's actually helpful.

1

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:27 PM

wwhat can you tell about this jar a green in your invventory anythin interestin

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:27 PM

Apparently it has both corruption and purification powers.

Which is...

weird

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:28 PM

do you think it tastes good

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:28 PM

sounds contradictory an not ovverly helpful in any circumstance

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:28 PM

I just ate some sausages I could go for a drink right now

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:28 PM

You want to test out the green water Superb?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:29 PM

maybe you oughta dump that wwater back in an get fresh stuff out if wwe get a purification plan rollin

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:29 PM

I can try to chug it

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:30 PM

you could just chug it out the fountain though same difference

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:31 PM

no no look

If it's out of the jar

I can do this

https://youtube.com/shorts/HKVoN-SjZ-Q?feature=share

I can't talk right now, Im making PISS!

He do be making piss tho.

1

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:31 PM

...

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:32 PM

maybe youd rather do a stick a big straw in the body a wwater type thing though

1

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 10:33 PM

I don't have any big straws

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:34 PM

(~~im led to believe on nat 20s they can be fabricated~~)

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:34 PM

(~~won't that suck the pool dry though?~~)

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:35 PM

(~~then we purify the piss duh~~)

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 10:35 PM

pokemon?

what is a pokemon

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:36 PM

yeah she needed one an couldnt find one noww i am one i guess

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 10:36 PM

are they tasty?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:36 PM

idk howw to explain it wwe havve an equivvalent in my alternia

1

basically theyre like pets you battle but ivve made it clear that im not gonna be her pet so erase any image a that from your mind wwere more like battle partners in this instance

accordin to sup theres an area in her wworld thats like france in some wway for wwhat thats wworth

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:49 PM

Doesn't that mean she'll have you fight someone in the future

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:50 PM

yeah but i dont take issue wwith that provvided its someone deservvin say wwayne or pasq or wwhoevver

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:50 PM

I think Wayne's already gone

but the tree still remains?

When Pasqualo used his shotgun in the tree, it completed destroyed Wayne's body.

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:52 PM

maybe kyo could get fought if wwe wwanna take a more proactivve approach to keepin bab safe

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:52 PM

That would also be an option, but where are we even going to next?

Are we splitting up again?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:53 PM

im thinkin purgatory

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:53 PM

All of us?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:53 PM

thisd havve to be a discussion but i dont currently see a need to split up fwwiww

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:54 PM

Okay... it's... it's just that....

I've been feeling pretty useless

I'm basically the radio itself

With seemingly no other purpose

I don't have some mutation or power

Or any form of offense or defense

Just nothing

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:56 PM

youvve been doin your best

your information an ideas are excellent

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:56 PM

...I was willing to even drink the green water before Superb stepped in

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:57 PM

i mean you wwere feelin conflict avverse so i kept you from the conflict

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:57 PM

I thought I could gain something without taking a risk...

And look at me

What have I truly gained during my time in the afterlife?

1

I risked nothing so I got nothing

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 10:58 PM

might not be much but youvve gained a job

money

allies

i understand wwhere youre comin from as someone wwhos felt like useless garbage before but if it helps i dont feel that wway about you at all

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 10:59 PM

I think these feelings mostly stemmed from last phase...

I felt so...

alone

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:00 PM

wwe all havve our not super stellar phases

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 11:00 PM

And the radio drove me mad

Those maniacs on the other end

just kept talking about

the silliest things

and just YELLED at each other

over petty squabbles

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:00 PM

p5 purgatory i freed my allies swworn enemy from a jar

that wwas like negativve helpfulness

an id spent p4 streets buyin said jar

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 11:01 PM

I could've prevented this whole tree thing from happening

And look what's happened

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:02 PM

you should be able to see lookin back on your life that hindsights twwenty twwenty same goes for the afterlife all wwe can do is pick up the pieces an movve on mournin wwhat wwoulda been coulda been is pointless

Hilda BOT 17-Aug-21 11:03 PM

Eridan's right! What's done is done! All we can do is look to the future and do our best there!

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 11:04 PM

But the future looks just as... nothing for me. I wasted a phase filling this jar and now it looks like I have to spend this phase wasting it.

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:05 PM

but wwhat WWOULD feel fulfillin to you dry

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 11:05 PM

...

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:06 PM

wwhat do you wwant name it wwhats your hope

Dry Bones BOT 17-Aug-21 11:07 PM

I... don't feel like I have a hope. So I guess I'd want a hope...

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:11 PM

is helpin me as best you can not good enough didnt you wwant to be an assistant type

wwhen i brought you on you wwere similarly despairin about your purpose so i figured id givve you one

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 11:13 PM

@Nagisa Furukawa how do pokemon taste

do I have to be a Pokemon to taste one

if that's the case make me a pokemon

I feel like having a second meal

Altered Beast BOT 17-Aug-21 11:15 PM

I do believe I have the ability to purify this water

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:15 PM

oh youvve got a vvoice inside my head howw quaint

Hilda BOT 17-Aug-21 11:16 PM

Hmm...I've never tasted a Pokemon before. As crazy as it may seem to someone familiar with the world of Pokemon, they have actually been used as food before! Like Slowpoke tails!

But in any case, if you want to be my Pokemon too, then welcome aboard! I'm happy to add more Pokemon to my team.

And for the record, I can have up to six Pokemon in my team if anyone else is interested!

Altered Beast BOT 17-Aug-21 11:17 PM

I am assuming the corrupted tree is our current priority?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:17 PM

thats mine at least

Hilda BOT 17-Aug-21 11:18 PM

Mine as well!

Altered Beast BOT 17-Aug-21 11:18 PM

It would be great to not have my realm destroyed before I even get a chance to rule it proper

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:18 PM

right thats about wwhat i figured your stance wwould be alt

heres my powwer if you didnt ovverhear

Altered Beast BOT 17-Aug-21 11:19 PM

Where is it located again? Purgatory?

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:20 PM

started in cloudtops but it mightvve movved to purgatory in a bit unclear sup might knoww more than me

1

damn thats pretty powwerful to be able to address evveryone alt

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 11:23 PM

oh based, sign me up

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:23 PM

as god said this sanctuary should be effectivve against the tree

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 11:24 PM

have you considered eating it

that is a viable option

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:24 PM

you might not wwant to announce publicly that wwere fixin the fountain though

plague might come back an unfix it

Altered Beast BOT 17-Aug-21 11:24 PM

I would employ your services Billy, but I worry of the tree's effects on those who consume it

Not to worry, I will only say what is needed

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 11:26 PM

woah woah woah

this guy is king

Altered Beast BOT 17-Aug-21 11:27 PM

Yes,

Billy BOT 17-Aug-21 11:27 PM

that's based

Altered Beast BOT 17-Aug-21 11:27 PM

Indeed

Superb BOT 17-Aug-21 11:27 PM

oh hi

Have I seen you before

I don't remember

I forgor

I'm Superb

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:28 PM

at the same time

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:42 PM

i wwill lend you my assistance on restorin the fountain alt if youd like it

basically i guess i should ask do you think theres any chance youd fail this

( @Altered Yeast for when you're back)

just so long as this doesnt mean im fightin billy i dont havve a deathwwish

Hilda BOT 17-Aug-21 11:54 PM

Don't worry, you won't have to fight Billy! Or any other Pokemon, for that matter. Being my Pokemon means we're all part of a team, working together!

Eridan Ampora BOT 17-Aug-21 11:55 PM

gotcha bein on a team wwith billy is somethin i wwouldnt mind sounds like a wwinnin team to me

dry do you got any status updates on wwherevver your wwalkie talkies pickin up from btww

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:04 AM

...Sorry I'm still preoccupied with my thoughts

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:05 AM

im not tryin to ignore your feelins or nothin im just tryin to make you feel useful an all yknoww

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:06 AM

(Apologies in advance but I'm about to post a whole backstory/paragraph)

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:07 AM

(don't apologize to me at least i love to do that shit)

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:07 AM

You can't understand... My name is Dry Bones, but I am a Dry Bones. There are plenty of other Dry Bones back where I'm from. We're just blank slates who are supposed to do what we're told. And one day I was given the purpose of being a detective, solving some murders and bringing the criminals to justice. ...I clearly didn't do a good job and ended up here, where I thought I could still try to be a detective, but after "solving" the tablet mystery, I felt nothing, absolutely nothing. I decided to get a new purpose and that's why I offered to be an assistant, but I realize that I’m just repeating the cycle, being given a purpose and then messing it up. I watched the ritual happen and instead of throwing in the holy branch I picked up some jar. Both times I tried fixing the radio I broke it. I watched Plague infect the water and then proceeded to fill my jar with the sewer water. Had I made those sorts of errors back home I would’ve been cut off, done away with, to prevent me doing any more harm.

Your grateful words are the only thing that keep me going, but I still feel undeserving of them. I’m replaceable. If I gave my radio to someone else, I’m sure they could do the same job if not better. Then what would I be good for?

Back when we first met I acted like the radio was attached to me. That wasn't true.

I just thought that an inanimate object could give me a purpose.

How foolish of me...

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:10 AM

thats wwhere youre wwrong evven WWITHOUT that wwalkie talkie youd be useful cuz youre clevver an a careful planner sure youvve made a couple bad choices but man if you kneww wwhat ivve done before i got here

im not expectin perfection from you dry im just askin you to try your best

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:12 AM

Really? What good plans have I made?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:13 AM

the wwhole rooftops plan wwas great an i wwouldntvve bothered thinkin a responses for all that if you hadnt prompted me

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:14 AM

That plan fell through

I didn't tell Kyoko anything

I just ran away from here

1

like a coward

I saw she had a lightning bolt and got out of there.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:14 AM

heh

dont blame you

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:14 AM

So that plan amounted to nothing

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:15 AM

an you wwere probably right about purgatory bein a good place to be i said as much back at the pleroma

sure plans fall through but that doesnt make them wworthless it just means time for neww plans

just because it happened to wwork out one wway doesnt mean there wwasnt a possibility itd wwork out a different wway wwe prepared for

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:18 AM

How is that a good thing. What? Should I be glad that there's some alternative universe where I'm not a fuck up?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:19 AM

YOURE NOT A FUCK UP IN THIS ONE EITHER

gah

alright alright alright so let me explain this as best i can

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:19 AM

sure... go ahead.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:20 AM

an exterminator wwhen no one currently needs squeakbeasts killed is not useless

they nevver knoww wwhen more might showw up yknoww

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:22 AM

Is that your entire explanation?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:22 AM

i could embellish more but thats about howw im feelin

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:24 AM

What if that exterminator nearly suggested killing the people who trusted him because of his paranoia over the mutations they got?

Did you hear how I talked to Sean phase 5?

I was convinced he was going to turn on us.

I was with him for the entire time up to that point, and just like that, I was ready to sell him out.

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 12:26 AM

Sean was probably mad :)

he did get shot

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:27 AM

He got shot at the end of that phase.

And after that, I didn’t even apologize to him when he didn’t turn on us.

Instead I complained about this damned radio.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:29 AM

theres nothin stoppin you from apologizin in the future but ivve realized somethin

there is literally nothin i can do to get you to forgivve yourself

nothin i can say i cant force you

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:30 AM

Correct

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:31 AM

all i ask is that you consider it because I see wworth in you I see vvalue an i wwish you could see it too

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:32 AM

Don’t worry, I still plan on trying to help with this tree.

Altered Beast BOT 18-Aug-21 12:32 AM

You are no foolish beast, I will say that

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:32 AM

because theres nothin you can say to change my mind i wwant you as my assistant

i didnt wwant to havve to do this but yknoww wwhat

Eridan goes up to Dry Bones and attempts to comfort him with pats.

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:33 AM

…

I don’t know what to say to that

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:35 AM

shooshpappin is practically sacred to trolls as a calmin gesture though its typically seen as a moirail thing

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:37 AM

I appreciate the gesture.

Altered Beast BOT 18-Aug-21 12:37 AM

What tongue are you speaking in??

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:37 AM

~~homestuck motherfucker do you speak it~~

i doubt you wwant to hear the details alt

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:38 AM

I may not know some of the words you speak yet I feel that I can still understand their meaning.

If that makes sense…

Altered Beast BOT 18-Aug-21 12:40 AM

Do you know about gabagool?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:40 AM

no wwhat is that

Altered Beast BOT 18-Aug-21 12:42 AM

Hmrph, It sounded similar to what you spoke of

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:45 AM

(also did you see this pizzie)

Altered Beast BOT 18-Aug-21 12:47 AM

Hm, Im not sure what assistance youan offer on the fountain either but I will welcome it

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:48 AM

no chance a failure if im on your side alt youll see

so dry wwere gonna try to get rid a that tree an you can help by takin some purified sanctuary wwater regardless a howw responsible you hold yourself in reality this is wwaynes fault an no one elses

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:53 AM

I’ll do that then. Am I letting Superb drink the green water that’s already in my jar?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:54 AM

i guess you can just as effectivve a wway to empty it as dumpin it i guess

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:55 AM

Okay… one more thing

I’m giving you my radio.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:55 AM

you dont havve to if you dont wwant to its your rib

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 12:56 AM

Well I want to.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 12:56 AM

alright so long as thats settled

ill accept it gratefully

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 01:01 AM

Thank you

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 01:02 AM

no thank YOU

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 01:19 AM

hey dry bones

can I have one of your ribs

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 01:19 AM

...May I ask why?

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 01:19 AM

I wanna taste it

I have a baguette to heal you

if not, I'll take it out for you

or I'll take the ones already deattached

you don't seem to get much use for it

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 01:21 AM

I have no problems with that, but you'll probably have to take the rib out yourself since Eridan wants me to refill my jar with the purified pool water.

Maybe you could just bite a rib off if you're careful.

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 01:22 AM

wow I expected you to object more

1

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 01:23 AM

...I've already had a rib ripped out once, what's another.

And you say you can heal me afterwards, which I trust you'll follow through on.

All things considered it doesn't seem like that big of an issue...

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 01:29 AM

I should consider asking people more often if I can eat them

note to self

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 02:18 AM

perhaps wwe should discuss secondary goals other than the tree since wwe havve plenty a time

dry do you knoww wwhere kyo is noww

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 02:19 AM

Unfortunately no

But depending on if anyone jumps done from Rooftops, we can rule out some possibilities.

Take Retsuko for example who came from Purgatory, if she would just hop down we could ask if she passed Kyoko on her way to Rooftops.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 02:21 AM

the fact that she hasnt done that yet givves the impression that theres somethin up there thats caught her interest

be it other people or perhaps just the vvault to france

wwait billy if youre here then wwheres garf

also dry is betwween rooftops an france a movveinstant as billy suspected

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 02:24 AM

Didn't seem like one to me.

But maybe I'm misremembering

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 02:24 AM

oh im misrememberin wwhat he said actually

but yeah id like to knoww wwhere the illustrious leader a lll is at wwhen convvenient billy

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:13 AM

hey dry are you there

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:14 AM

yeah?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:14 AM

if you dont mind me askin im tryin to establish a mental timeline a wwhere evveryone wwas an wwhen so far

wwherevve you been each phase

one through four specifically

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:16 AM

Phases 1, 3, and 4 I was at Cloudtops. Phase 2 I was at Pleroma. Do you need who I was with each of those phases?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:17 AM

thatd be nice i dont havve any fuckin clue wwhere evveryone wwas up in heavven practically speakin

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:19 AM

Well... Phase 1: Brine, Sean, and Wayne. Phase 2: Brine, Sean, Wayne, Retsuko, and Hilda. Phase 3: Brine, Sean, Wayne, Retsuko, and Hilda. Phase 4: Brine, Sean, Wayne, Retsuko, and Hilda, but also Superb was there but jumped down to Streets.

1

We were quite a close knit group for while

Before... it happened

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:25 AM

so i take it hild started at the sanctuary then

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:25 AM

Yep, both Retsuko and Hilda started at Sanctuary

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:26 AM

kir an rip mustvve also started at sanctuary since they wwere both in purgatory p2 an theyre heavveners you didnt run into

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:27 AM

That would indeed be the case.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:41 AM

did wwe evver find out wwhat the area inside the tree is called i believve the wword darkness wwas invvolvved wwasnt it

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:42 AM

It’s called “Tree of Darkness”

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:44 AM

wwas ret the only one to go into the tree phase fivve or did anyone join her

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:45 AM

It was only Retsuko

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:46 AM

an then p6 it wwas fish pasq an kir wwho wwent in right

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:47 AM

Yes, that’s right

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:49 AM

its a complicated wweb all of it i fear ivve made errors

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:52 AM

Tracking the events of… whatever is happening around here is no light task.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:52 AM

i just figured it might help us an ivve got nothin better to do but let my mind pace

an youre sure you dont knoww wwhere the other end a the wwalkie talkie is at right

Hilda BOT 18-Aug-21 03:54 AM

You all can't see it, but I still have my radio! I don't know what happened to the connection earlier. I could hear some of what you were saying, Dry Bones, but it seems that you couldn't hear what we were saying.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:55 AM

dry heard inside the tree phase sevven if im followwin correctly an continues to hear wwherevver pasq an fish an whho elsere at

1

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:56 AM

That’s the current situation with this radio. It seems to be picking up on something else…

But I don’t know what.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 03:57 AM

so other end a the wwalkie talkie aint the right wword somethins interferin wwith the signal on one side a the system wwhich seems bizarre but it is the afterlife after all

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 03:59 AM

One of the connections got redirected. So while Hilda’s radio is still connected to mine. My radio is connected to some other force, which just so happens to be at where Pasqualo, Fishbunjin, and Kiryu are.

Hilda BOT 18-Aug-21 04:00 AM

Huh, I wonder if it's a natural, albeit bizarre, interference, or if it's the direct result of another person interfering.

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:03 AM

Uhm.. Hilda, what happened at Cloudtops Phase 6 if I may?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:06 AM

i think p5 an onwwards is harder than wwhat came before cuz a evverybody jumpin from streets to cloudtops an vvice vversa its a pain

before that is simple cuz all the movveinstants are one wway

Hilda BOT 18-Aug-21 04:09 AM

So, Pasqualo and Fishbunjin showed up, which at first, I thought was a welcoming sign since we thought they were here to help, but that quickly changed when Pasqualo announced that they were going to kill Retsuko! But Retsuko came up with a clever plan to trick them: Retsuko faked accepting her death and told those two to come to the tree with her to finish the job, but Retsuko didn't actually go inside, leaving Pasqualo and Fishbunjin trapped!

Then, Diogenes and Wayne had a whole philosophical discussion about Wayne's motives.

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:09 AM

I’m more curious about Wayne’s motives

Hilda BOT 18-Aug-21 04:10 AM

Speaking of Diogenes, he was the one that advised us to take separate paths to the sanctuary in case something happened.

Hmm, Wayne was a little hard to follow when he talked about his motives, but...he seems to think that the gods have disturbed a natural cycle of people "returning to the whole," whatever that means. Turning himself into that tree seems to be part of his plan for bringing back that cycle.

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:12 AM

Ok… did Wayne talk about the dark mutation at all?

Because while it seems we’ll be able to cure most of them, Sean will still have it.

And the more about it we know, the better we can evaluate how urgent the situation is.

Hilda BOT 18-Aug-21 04:19 AM

Doesn't seem like Wayne mentioned anything about the mutation.

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:20 AM

Hmm… odd. It did seem like Diogenes had some theories about the mutations if I recall correctly.

And I was wondering if those were based on anything or just conjecture…

But if Wayne didn’t say anything… then it’s unlikely anyone would know.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:22 AM

the person i knoww the least for certain about wwherevve theyvve been is rip fwwiww

wwonder if rets evver gonna come dowwn here

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:27 AM

The more time that passes, the more I get worried.

I don’t know what could possibly keep her up there for this long.

She seemed pretty close with Hilda so you’d think she’d hop down quickly so they could chat for longer.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:29 AM

it stands to reason that there must be a reason

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:30 AM

We need to ask Superb if anyone else went to Rooftops with Retsuko.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:31 AM

yeah all i got from spyin is that at least one person stayed an at least one person headed to sanctuary

the people at purgatory wwere ret squid sup dio an brine though wwayne wwas also chattin ovver there

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:33 AM

Then it’s possible Diogenes and Squidward are up there with her.

But…

Hilda BOT 18-Aug-21 04:34 AM

Diogenes, Retsuko, and Squidward all went to purgatory, while I went to the pleroma.

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:34 AM

If at least one person stayed like you said…

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:34 AM

its not possible for both a them to be wwith her fwwiww yeah

Hilda BOT 18-Aug-21 04:34 AM

That was after we left cloudtops.

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:34 AM

Then at most one of Diogenes and Squidward could be with her right now.

However, those two always seemed to stick together unless I’m mistaken.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:35 AM

ntm people in greed could come ovver there

wwe knoww for a fact sean wwas in greed p7

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:36 AM

I think Sean might be the only possibility for people from Greed.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:36 AM

im not quite certain wwhere vv1 wwas p7

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:37 AM

Didn’t Superb say V1 went to the sun?

Maybe the sun is a location?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:37 AM

it wwas twwo phases ago that he jumped there

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:38 AM

Well the sun only crashed at the end of last phase, so it’s possible V1 was there for two phases then.

And now that I think about it, Sean said he wanted to interview Zero at Cloudtops Phase 8 or 9, so he shouldn’t be at Rooftops right now.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:39 AM

probably more like one wwe knoww he stayed behind in purgatory p6 wwaitin for the sun to get there an im assumin he jumped in at the end a the phase

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:41 AM

Then I guess V1 was at the sun Phase 7 only, but the whole sun crashing thing makes it pretty unknown where V1 could be.

But do you really think V1 could distract Retsuko for this long?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:43 AM

wwas squid at cloudtops p6 btww thats wwhen dio wwas debatin wwayne right

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:43 AM

Yeah, Squidward was with Diogenes at that time.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:44 AM

so if im not mistaken the only time wwe dont knoww wwhere they wwere other than noww is p5

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:45 AM

I haven’t been keeping track of Squidward or Diogenes so I really don’t know where they have been for most of the phases.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:45 AM

wwait theres only one place they COULD be then

their route so far wwas startin in purgatory headin to streets then greed then rooftops movveinstantin ovver to sanctuary then pleroma then cloudtops then purgatory again

they mustvve been in pleroma phase fivve cuz otherwwise i wwe wwouldvve seen them passin through purgatory ovver to cloudtops from sanctuary

1

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:48 AM

I will say that I can see Diogenes keeping Retsuko up at Rooftops with a long philosophical speech.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:55 AM

funnily enough i dont think i can say wwith any certainty wwhere sup wwas the first three phases

i knoww for phases twwo an three they wwerent in purgatory since i wwas in greed an able to spy

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:57 AM

Superb started in Purgatory, went to Sanctuary, and then to Pleroma.

Those were Superb’s first three phases

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:58 AM

howw do you knoww sup wwas in sanctuary phase 2 as opposed to cloudtops

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:58 AM

Because I asked

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:58 AM

wwait wwhen

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 04:59 AM

Phase 4

When Superb was momentarily at Cloudtops

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:59 AM

before droppin dowwn on us at streets yeah that wwas real memorable

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:00 AM

(Nuper be honest, are you making a character location spreadsheet as we speak?)

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:00 AM

(I wouldn't lie about it yes I am)

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:01 AM

(lmao)

(That would explain the thorough questioning, though I can’t blame you since I also asked for people’s locations a ton)

(Spreadsheets are BASED)

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:07 AM

so for rip in particular i dont knoww wwhere she wwas phases three four six or noww an her exact movvements phases fivve and sevven arent clear to me

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:08 AM

Ripley is an enigma, I’m honestly surprised I haven’t run into her yet.

Though I can confirm Kyoto, Ripley, and Joss were at Purgatory Phase 4.

1

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:11 AM

that means the only person i dont knoww for phase four is kir

oh right an i dont knoww for certain if vv1 followwed the rest of the hell gang droppin from rooftops to sanctuary that phase

he coulda just stayed up there an met up wwith them again in purgatory phase fivve

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:23 AM

Using some intuition, I’m going to guess my radio connection is still inside the tree.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:24 AM

wwho all did you say is in there is it just the three

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:25 AM

Yep, just those three from what I’m hearing.

I’m making this estimate mostly due to Sean’s deal with Zero. He said they would have the interview either Phase 8 or 9 and Cloudtops, so if Sean’s a good interviewer, he should already be there by now.

1

Which he could do by moving to Streets from Greed and then instantly moving up to Cloudtops.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:31 AM

p6 purgatory is wwhat id wwant answwers from sup about in particular wwhen theyre around

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 05:31 AM

Quack.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:32 AM

oh hi billy

do you knoww wwhere garfs at

last i kneww you wwere in france wwith him an noww you suddenly popped up in sanctuary an hes nowwhere to be found

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:54 AM

( @Spy hope you don't mind the @ just wasn't sure if you saw)

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 05:56 AM

uhh

where's garf

France was connected to everywhere

(you can ping me, I don't mind)

why do you need it?

1

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:57 AM

itd be nice to knoww just for plannin an all like i guess i dont NEED to knoww but hes the leader a my alliance

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 05:59 AM

oooh

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:59 AM

if i knoww wwhere he is maybe i can figure out wwhere hes gonna be an if i knoww wwhere hes gonna be i can try to establish a plan to meet up

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 05:59 AM

uhh lemme check of he said anything

garf didn't say where he was going

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:00 AM

rats

alright i told him wwed be in the pleroma cloudtops area so he might be at one a those the sanctuary detour wwas a bit of a surprise

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 06:01 AM

he might be there if you told him to go there

how about you try yelling for him

in an action

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:03 AM

im gonna be takin a -5 penalty to my roll so itd be better done by someone else

context as to wwhy

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 06:06 AM

I see

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:06 AM

im givvin alt the boost to make sure this wwater gets purified otherwwise a lot of my plan for fightin the tree goes out the wwindoww

1

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:19 AM

im startin to think maybe a couple of us could head back to plemora to make sure wwe dont miss any allies ovver that wway a course i guess alt could just let allies knoww wwhere wwere at to make meetin up easier but thats the double edged swword to end all double edged swwords

like attention the guy wwho noww runs the wwhole showw here is in set location so hurry ovver to kick his ass an claim the title for yourself

Altered Beast BOT 18-Aug-21 06:23 AM

Hmrph, good point, I wonder what the catbeast thinks of my new title

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:28 AM

since purgatory is the central point a the map it might be dangerous for you to be there alt if anyones headin through plemora i reckon you should be one a them

Altered Beast BOT 18-Aug-21 08:40 AM

I do intend to make some kind of ruling headquarters in purgatory despite the danger

If I want to not be overthrown myself, it would be ideal to listen to the needs of the souls here wouldn't it?

And while I could aim to establish a more intricate division of power than a monarchy, The conditions in the afterlife don't really require such a thing?

There is no game needed to be hunted, there is no shelter to be constructed as I can simply will it into existence, and the existing infrastructure appears to have all the needs of a soul to be catered for? is it not?

So as long as I can keep up with the requests for my power to better a soul's existence, This realm shall become a paradise in no time

...A place that they would be satisfied with when they finally arrive

...will they arrive?

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 09:28 AM

idk what you're talking about I wasn't following

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 01:38 PM

Quack.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:48 PM

i suppose if wwe havve any allies ovver in pleroma next phase theyll be able to see us in purgatory from that vvantage point so wwe could all stick together an head for the tree that wway

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 04:51 PM

whats happening odfosidjdewfjoi

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 04:51 PM

hi brine

altered beast is king of heaven and hell I guess

What are you going to do?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:54 PM

(feeling better today superb? hope everything's alright)

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 04:54 PM

idk what im going to do idk whats happening

(ehhhh we'll see)

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 04:55 PM

Well

uh

I guess altered beast and gang are going to try and kill the tree soon

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 04:55 PM

basically if you dont havve anythin else goin on wwere gonna try to fight that eldritch abomination of a tree yeah

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 04:55 PM

huh

mmmm

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 04:56 PM

I don't think I'm going to help the tree looks cool

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 04:56 PM

i dont really want to fight anyone

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 04:58 PM

also uh

Retsuko didn't come down did she

I think she's still up there

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:01 PM

the tree has a stated goal a destroyin this place i knoww youre not actually dead or wwhatevver but can you imagine the afterlife just ceasin to exist

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 05:02 PM

oh no i dont want that

i think you should help sup

maybe i should too but idk

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:02 PM

Eh maybe

I'm a bit tired so don't expect much from me

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:04 PM

alright brine if i could ask a question a you real quick wwhere wwere you phase six an wwho wwere you wwith if you dont mind me askin

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 05:05 PM

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:06 PM

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 05:06 PM

i wanted to go into the sun but it wouldnt let me

nevermind im fucking stupid

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:06 PM

(wait really?)

(o)

do we know where the sun goes after purgatory

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:07 PM

it wwas ovver towwards the hellish greedish type direction wwhen it crashed

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:07 PM

apparently it crashed somewhere in hell

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:07 PM

yeah

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:07 PM

greed?

I don't think I've been there yet

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:07 PM

greeds wwhere its at wwhen its midnight

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 05:07 PM

(I fucking wrote !go instead of !move fucking kill me)

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:07 PM

oh

(LMAO)

wasn't it midnight last phase

so it crashed in greed right

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 05:08 PM

does anyone have a watch

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:08 PM

I think it tells the time in the area descriptions

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:08 PM

it wwas midnight last phase yeah

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:08 PM

that probably means V1 is in greed

or dead

who else do you need

diogenes stayed in purgatory

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:09 PM

wwhat about squid

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:09 PM

uh

I think he stayed in purgatory as well? I'm not sure

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:10 PM

did you pass by anyone on the wway here btww

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:10 PM

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:12 PM

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:13 PM

I'm guessing she's in the cloudtops?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:13 PM

i still dont quite understand exitin the tree but i guess thats wwhat wwould make the most sense

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:13 PM

She mentioned wanting to attack it from the outside

So that would align

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:13 PM

oh there we go then

so that means your radio is probably in the tree then?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:14 PM

garf wwas in france last phase wwhich apparently exits to literally FUCKIN ANYWWHERE

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:14 PM

nice

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:14 PM

kyo wwas at rooftops

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:15 PM

what does Garfield want

outside of lasagna

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:15 PM

he just got part a his goal wwhich is the destruction a france

theres also a bein a leader component that i dont quite get

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:15 PM

oh

leader?

like king?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:16 PM

its possible he wwont be too happy wwith alt takin that title but wwell deal wwith that wwhen it becomes pertinent

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:16 PM

ah

I mean we can try to deduce where he could go

considering if you're right and he wants to be a king or smth

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:17 PM

again i told him wwed be around pleroma or cloudtops if he wwanted to meet up

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:17 PM

he could be in greed or pleroma

oh

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:17 PM

this sanctuary detour wwas a bit unplanned

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:17 PM

he might be in pleroma then?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:17 PM

its a strong possibility

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:18 PM

huh

well if he's in pleroma you might pass by him

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:21 PM

its kyos location im kinda wworried about since i wwanna keep her awway from bab an unfortunately theres a lot a places she could be she coulda just stayed at rooftops she coulda gone ovver to the pleroma purgatory or greed an wworst of all she coulda gone to FRANCE

if she guesses right an finds the baabeast its gonna be hard to shake her since she can just followw bab to the ends a the earth

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:22 PM

There's not much we can do about that now is there?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:23 PM

youre right but still if wwe can devvelop a strategy a some kind

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:24 PM

We could if we had more information... Information a certain Retsuko could have

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:24 PM

theres only a couple people wwho could evven conceivvably be up there wwith her

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:26 PM

I don't see how anyone could stop her from hopping down here to the Sanctuary.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:26 PM

but they could givve her a reason to stay

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:27 PM

...what could that possibly be?

She planned to be here

You think she would just break that?

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:27 PM

She did mention that she hadn't "fully commited" to healing her mutation in purgatory when talking to wayne

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:27 PM

sounds like she might be under the influence a the mutation

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:27 PM

Ugh...

Superb, what did Retsuko do last phase?

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:28 PM

talked to wayne a bit

apologized for something she did and said she felt sorry

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:28 PM

Sorry, I mean her action

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:28 PM

she looked at the tree's roots closely

I think she made a discovery about them or smth

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:29 PM

gah wwhatevver that is could be vvaluable information an shes not comin dowwn here howw frustratin

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:30 PM

Maybe she just doesn't want to get healed

she didn't seem to hate wayne

she just felt sorry and said he was cool

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:31 PM

shes gettin her fuckin thinkpan bent thats the only explanation i can think a for her sudden change a tune

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:31 PM

did you see her before she came to purgatory

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:32 PM

no i didnt

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:32 PM

then idk

I guess she likes eldritch horrors

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:35 PM

but i do knoww she expressed goin into the tree an wworsenin her mutation wwas a bad idea

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:36 PM

Anyways we don't know what's going on in cloudtops right

that's like right outside of the tree

we can try to think about every area if that helps actually

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:37 PM

other than the fact that rip an bab are out there an that sean SHOULD be there

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:37 PM

Oh

Are they going to help with the tree do you think

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:38 PM

yeah rip movved out to attack the tree from the outside an babs an ally seans kinda a wwild card though he wwas interested in maybe intervviewwin the tree but idk howw possible that is since apparently pasq bleww wwaynes body to bits last phase

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:38 PM

I mean

if the tree is in cloudtops it should be able to talk as well

it could talk in purgatory

if it can talk it can be interviewed

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:39 PM

The tree hasn't spoken a word yet this phase.

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:39 PM

Uh oh

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:39 PM

i just knoww if it can do that anymore wwith wwayne gettin fuckin bodied yeah

1

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:39 PM

Maybe Wayne was what allowed it to speak.

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:39 PM

do you think it's biding its time

oh

maybe that too

do you think it's going to die this phase?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:40 PM

i mean possibly but theres no wway in hell im just gonna count on that

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:41 PM

it'd be nice to know what the cloudtops peeps are going to do

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:41 PM

wwhat god told me is that purified sanctuary wwater should be quite effectivve against the tree an since none a them ovver there wwere usin it im skeptical about wwhat results they may havve gotten

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:42 PM

I mean they did blow up wayne's body that sounds pretty effective

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:42 PM

true

just a matter a did the tree need wwayne to keep goin

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:42 PM

and like the tree is wayne so you'd assume that if wayne's body dies that wouldn't be great for the tree

hmm

true

do you think it'd become rogue if wayne died

if it didn't have a human consciousness to keep it bound

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:43 PM

Uhh... I suppose we'll soon find out?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:44 PM

oh boy

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:45 PM

dry you can read phase updates as well right

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:45 PM

Correct

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:45 PM

cool

where are all of you going

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:45 PM

purgatory i think thats the better bet

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:46 PM

the tree is in purgatory

I mean actually

it didn't do anything to us

I gave it some sausages

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:47 PM

yeah it seems a bit fucky like is the tree in purgatory or cloudtops wwas that an expansion or just a straight up relocation yknoww

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:47 PM

I think it was an expansion

it was just the roots

they were all over though

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:47 PM

ok got it

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:47 PM

OK

I can confirm my radio is connected to the tree

Baba just entered the Tree

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:48 PM

oh

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:48 PM

And so did Sean

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:48 PM

Oh

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:49 PM

Kyoko and Ripley also entered the Tree

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:49 PM

WWHAT HOWW

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:49 PM

Uh oh

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:49 PM

uh oh

what

wait

4 people?

what the fuck

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:49 PM

no fuckin wway howw is kyo there

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:49 PM

Wait... how did Kyoko get there?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:49 PM

she wwas in rooftops thats impossible

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:49 PM

where was she

oh

rooftops hm

I guess the rooftops did look a bit weak

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:50 PM

i guess maybe if you could break em you could movve to streets perhaps

an from there its just a movveinstant ovver to cloudtops

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:50 PM

yeah

why did they all jump in

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:50 PM

Sean's planning to shoot Pasqualo from the looks of it

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:50 PM

oh

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

not ovverly surprisin

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

Oh wait right

Pasqualo shot Sean earlier

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

More carnage inside the tree

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

thats wwhy he wwanted me to get him that gun after all

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

are they all just going to shoot pasqualo?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

im imagin kyos laser focused on bab right noww

1

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

There's plenty different conflicts going on in there

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

what are we doing

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:51 PM

if you wwanna come wwith brine wwere headed to purgatory

Brinelex Brine BOT 18-Aug-21 05:52 PM

what for

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:52 PM

take some wwater from the pool after its been purified if youd like

its one a twwo routes wwe can take towwards the tree

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:52 PM

okay dry can you keep us updated if you understand what's happening

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:52 PM

i knoww you wwerent super interested in that but yknoww that just seems to be wwhat most a the rest of us are doin

thats wwhat he does yeah

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:53 PM

Right now I can't understand much, it's mostly Sean taunting Pasqualo and Kyoko taunting Baba.

Ripley still seems focused on the tree

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:54 PM

Alright

well

why tf did they all jump in

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:54 PM

Good question

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:54 PM

How many fuckin dead bodies are there going to be in this tree

if someone attacks pasqualo I'm guessing the fish is going to attack them

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:55 PM

or protect pasq the wway he did back in purgatory

just seems like evverybody likes usin inside that tree as an eight sided shape designated for fightin

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:57 PM

Pasqualo is implying that he has an attack that can target everyone in his area.

If true...

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:58 PM

bad fuckin newws

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:58 PM

This could get very... very ugly

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:58 PM

gah just hang in there bab

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 05:58 PM

I'm uh

This tree is just a fighting ring at this point

I bet Wayne's standing in the corner eating popcorn

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:59 PM

This is a joke at this point

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 05:59 PM

btww if rips still focused on the tree that means its likely not done cuz a wwayne gettin blowwn to pieces

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 05:59 PM

The people in the tree are more concerned about fighting each other than the tree itself

Maybe they think the tree is no longer a threat since Wayne's body is gone.

But once again... actions speak louder than words.

Pasqualo is claiming that he's going to self-destruct in there

If I'm understanding this right

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:02 PM

oh god bab please shield yourself as best you can

Altered Beast BOT 18-Aug-21 06:03 PM

This is not good

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:05 PM

Everyone's just trying to talk Pasqualo down from the brink at this point.

The only person who I could foresee preventing Pasqualo's implosion is the fish.

Oh!

Wayne can still talk

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:07 PM

fuck

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 06:07 PM

so he was just biding his time

or he talked to people outside?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:07 PM

dry only has ears inside the tree remember

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 06:08 PM

everyone jumped all at the same time right?

in the tree

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:08 PM

Roughly yes

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:08 PM

oh are you sayin that drys reportin that they heard his vvoice outside an then talked about it inside

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:08 PM

They're calling Pasqualo bald

Which is not helping at all

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:09 PM

yeah insultin murderous lunatics doesnt usually go wwell

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:10 PM

I'll let you know if it seems that Pasqualo has a change of heart.

But there isn't much time for that to happen.

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:33 PM

The tree is offering to restrain Pasqualo

Billy BOT 18-Aug-21 06:34 PM

oh boy

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:36 PM

fuckin wwild that i think im sidin wwith the tree on this one

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:44 PM

Oh, quick thing Eridan.

If Pasqualo somehow survives all this, we need to be careful not to bring up that we have jars of purified water.

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:44 PM

wwhys that

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:44 PM

He might want it for himself

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:44 PM

gotcha

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:45 PM

And we already know that he won't hesitate to steal

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:45 PM

wwait wwe do

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:45 PM

...

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:45 PM

wwhend he steal

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:45 PM

Remember Phase 5?

When he stole the shotgun from Sean

And blasted him with it

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 06:46 PM

oh right i wwas just more thinkin a that as attackin than stealin i suppose

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 06:50 PM

(oh boy an extra hour)

So Superb, are you still planning on chugging my jar of green water?

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 07:38 PM

just put an if then a dumpin it out in case they dont

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 07:39 PM

That's what I already prepared for

But knowing in advance would've been nice

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 07:39 PM

gotcha

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 07:40 PM

Anyway, activity is starting up again in the tree

I can tell there's some crying happening

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 07:40 PM

from wwhom

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 07:40 PM

The fish and Pasqualo

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 07:40 PM

damn didnt take em for the sort to cry

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 07:41 PM

aren't they friends

Fish is probably crying because he thinks pasqualo will die

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 07:41 PM

Wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 07:41 PM

i dont knoww howw genuinely pasq thinks a fish as a friend tbh

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 07:41 PM

I think he does see him as a friend

like

murder buddy

it's mutual respect at least

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 07:42 PM

wwouldnt surprise me if he just considered him like useful or wwhat havve you yknoww

Dry Bones BOT 18-Aug-21 07:42 PM

That makes sense given Pasqualo was willing to blow up the fish as well in order to achieve his 4 person kill count goal.

1

But at least he seems to feel a bit guilty about it

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 07:43 PM

then on the other hand wwhats pasq got to cry about other than fish is he cryin for himself like hes the one choosin to self destruct

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 07:44 PM

I think he's crying because he won't be able to see the fish

they seemed close

Superb BOT 18-Aug-21 08:02 PM

well

here's to everyone in the tree

Eridan Ampora BOT 18-Aug-21 08:02 PM

cheers

Luci BOT 18-Aug-21 08:03 PM

LOCK

God..? BOT 18-Aug-21 08:39 PM

Brine looks around. They seem to notice something over by the cloudtops, where the tree is.

Billy bites one of Dry Bones' ribs. It seems...

...

Well, Billy doesn't hate it, at least.

As Dry Bones winces in pain, Billy tosses him a Baguette.

Dry bones doesn't eat the baguette, but holds on to it. It might be useful later, I guess

Superb walks up to Dry Bones expectantly.

In response, Dry bones hands Superb a bottle of a strange green liquid, which Superb proceeds to...chug?

...

It doesn't look like it tasted the greatest.

Eridan focuses on Altered Beast, then hands out coins to Dry Bones, Altered Beast, Billy, and Hilda.

In response, Dry Bones gives Eridan his radio.

Altered beast moves over to the water, and dips an... appendage in.

Miraculously, the green specks in the water start to dissipate until the water is completely clear!

Dry bones takes the now empty jar he gave to Super, and fills it to the brim with the newly-purified water.

Finally, Hilda looks to Billy.

Billy responds with an affirmative "Quack!"

D'aww.

MysteryBot BOT 18-Aug-21 09:35 PM

Billy moved to pleroma

Eridan Ampora moved to purgatory

Superb moved to pleroma

Hilda stayed here.

Brinelex Brine moved to pleroma

Altered Beast moved to pleroma

Dry Bones moved to purgatory

-----Phase 9----- SANCTUARY Finally, a moment of respite. You'd think the afterlife would be a place to escape from the chaos of life, but apparently it's even worse here! You can take a break here though, in this temple to all things beautiful and natural. Elegantly carved BRICKWORK intertwines with the vines and leaves of the forest, forming a comforting shell, the roof open to the night sky. At the heart of the temple lies a perfectly still pool of crystal-clear water, guarded by a statue to an unknown yet benevolent deity. You feel like if you bathe in it, everything plaguing you will dissipate... In the grove outside the forest, there are all sorts of beautiful plants and flowers growing, covering the floor in a canopy of colour! You wonder what they would taste like... Perhaps that beautiful aroma wafting on the air? Oh wait, no! That aroma is the smell of freshly cooked bread. There's a strange rock that the smell seems to be originating from. There are grooves in the center, almost as if something is missing from it... Murtaugh is sat in the temple, seemingly attracted to architecture that reminds him of the Subnet. Dr Doofenshmirtz is also there, for... some reason. Maybe he just wants to hang with a fellow scientist? From here, you can go to PLEROMA or PURGATORY. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/871377312606728212/877272164057878528/unknown-221.png

darkmutation

VISIBLE It's a dark, pulsating mutation. It seems to almost... strengthen you?

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 09:38 PM

No luck cleansing that infection, hmm @Nagisa Furukawa?

MysteryBot BOT 18-Aug-21 09:39 PM

@Amalgam

V1 appeared from ROOFTOPS!

V1 has:

marksman

BIG Your trusty pistol! You can fire this to deal 0.75 hearts of damage with a reliable chance to hit, or you can throw a coin and try to hit that, to get a guaranteed attack on anything, living or not, on the map that you choose!

nailgun

BIG It's an overheat nailgun! It has one charge. It does a decent amount of damage with its base attack. If you expend a heat charge, the nails get a lot more powerful! They can pin whoever they hit to the ground, cancelling their movement action. You may also be able to jam these charged nails into surfaces! However, once both charges have been expended, the weapon does no more damage than a regular attack.

railcannon

BIG It's an electric railcannon! Once every 3 phases, it can be fired for 1.25 hearts of damage with very high accuracy. Alternatively, you may use this weapon to "electrify" someone or something, causing them to take .25 more damage from all sources for the next two phases. Electrified objects and players are magnetic, and all attacks made on them have improved accuracy.

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 09:44 PM

Welcome.

So the rooftops are empty?

V1 BOT 18-Aug-21 09:51 PM

Yep.

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 10:01 PM

Are you aware of the infection spreading throughout this realm, courtesy of the being formerly known as Wayne Togami?

V1 BOT 18-Aug-21 10:06 PM

I saw the meatball tree grow but haven’t really interacted with it yet. Too busy with making sure the sun blew itself to smithereens.

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 10:27 PM

Ah, of course.

What do you plan to do now?

V1 BOT 18-Aug-21 10:33 PM

No idea, The meatball tree seems like too much busywork but it everyone is there Pasqualo must be too and that clown owes me a shotgun.

1

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 10:38 PM

Fair enough.

And yes, Pasqualo did go into the tree.

I'm not sure if he's come back out...

Have you seen Retsuko at all?

V1 BOT 18-Aug-21 10:41 PM

Who?

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 10:41 PM

Never mind, then.

Little furry gal.

V1 BOT 18-Aug-21 10:41 PM

Nope.

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 10:42 PM

Covered in gross mutations from the tree.

Just as Hilda is here.

Which brings me back to wondering why she hasn't cleansed herself yet.

V1 BOT 18-Aug-21 10:42 PM

Mmmmmmmmm seems like I will be keeping my distance from that tree...

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 10:43 PM

I'm not entirely clear on how they gained the infection.

@Nagisa Furukawa mind giving some backstory?

From what I gathered, the two of them agreed to help Wayne with his goals, but got cold feet after seeing the monstrosity he became.

V1 BOT 18-Aug-21 10:44 PM

Average heaven dweller. Will shit themselves the moment they see anything strange.

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 10:47 PM

I suppose that would make Wayne a decidedly not-average Heaven dweller.

V1 BOT 18-Aug-21 10:50 PM

Pretty sure that guy slipped his way into heaven unfairly. The afterlife needs something like Anubis’ scales to keep jackasses from just barging in like that.

Diogenes BOT 18-Aug-21 11:04 PM

Indeed, that seems like the case.

He said the only reason he got put there was because he had never put his monstrous plans into action during life.

1

Quite a loophole, if I've ever seen one.

Hilda BOT 18-Aug-21 11:17 PM

I think I can get rid of my infection once I use this pool of water! Before you all got here, the water had this weird green color to it, so I figured I’d wait until the people I was with earlier cleaned up the water before I used it.

As to how I got this, Wayne had asked several of us in cloudtops closer to the start of all this to help him place four objects into an altar there. Once we did that though, the tree you all see now sprouted up from the altar! After that happened, this infection spread to those of us who put our objects into the altar.

Diogenes BOT 19-Aug-21 12:28 AM

Ah, I see now.

So who else aside from you and Retsuko is infected?

Hilda BOT 19-Aug-21 01:14 AM

To be honest, I'm not sure. I would've thought that everyone who placed an item into the altar got infected, but Brine did and they didn't have the infection afterwards. At least, it wasn't visible. It's possible that only Retsuko and I were infected, but I'm not sure. Sean Evans may have the infection, but I haven't been able to verify that.

Diogenes BOT 19-Aug-21 01:14 AM

Didn't the two of you also agree to deceive Pasqualo and the others as part of Wayne's plan?

Hilda BOT 19-Aug-21 01:16 AM

Well, we did that so that Pasqualo and Fishbunjin couldn't kill Retsuko like they were planning to do.

Diogenes BOT 19-Aug-21 01:28 AM

Hmm... that checks out well enough.

V1 BOT 19-Aug-21 04:46 PM

Well then, what is this war for in that case?

Diogenes BOT 19-Aug-21 04:49 PM

Absolutely nothing.

V1 BOT 19-Aug-21 04:50 PM

Yeah I was expecting something like that.

Hey where is that tree located?

Squidward BOT 19-Aug-21 04:54 PM

It's at the Cloudtops, but we'll be lucky if it's not everywhere soon.

Diogenes BOT 19-Aug-21 05:36 PM

The good news is, it can be damaged.

I hit it with a brick last phase, and its tentacles wilted and retreated a bit.

V1 BOT 19-Aug-21 05:39 PM

That is good news, That means not all is lost yet for us. And of course it means I can show them how to kill correctly.

Luci BOT 19-Aug-21 07:08 PM

Luci BOT 19-Aug-21 07:46 PM

Squidward pulls out his clarinet, and begins to play!

The first few notes are lovely, he's trying to brighten everyone else's day.

...but for whatever reason, things quickly go sour. The music is awful!

He quickly stops, but by that time everyone's ears already hurt.

The music is so annyoing, it interrupts Diogenes, trying to nap in his box!

1

V1 doesn't care about the music. He's got other things on his mind.

He stares up at the night sky.

...something seems to have him riled up

"In that case, what is this war for?!"

...you'll find out eventually.

1

Ignoring V1's ramblings, Hilda bathes her mutation in the pool at the centre of the sanctuary.

At first it doesn't seem to do much, but as time goes on, it's obvious that the dark colour is being leeched out of the mark.

At the end of it, whatever power it had is gone, but the mark itself remains, a permanent reminder of her adventures in Heaven.

MysteryBot BOT 19-Aug-21 09:29 PM

Diogenes moved to purgatory

Hilda moved to pleroma

Squidward moved to purgatory

V1 moved to pleroma

-----Phase 11----- SANCTUARY Finally, a moment of respite. You'd think the afterlife would be a place to escape from the chaos of life, but apparently it's even worse here! You can take a break here though, in this temple to all things beautiful and natural. Elegantly carved BRICKWORK intertwines with the vines and leaves of the forest, forming a comforting shell, the roof open to the night sky. The forest is being taken over by an invasive species - the roots of a greater tree wrap themselves around, choking the life out of the peaceful nature of this place. At the heart of the temple lies a perfectly still pool of crystal-clear water, guarded by a statue to an unknown yet benevolent deity. You feel like if you bathe in it, everything plaguing you will dissipate... In the grove outside the forest, there are all sorts of beautiful plants and flowers growing, covering the floor in a canopy of colour! You wonder what they would taste like... Perhaps that beautiful aroma wafting on the air? Oh wait, no! That aroma is the smell of freshly cooked bread. There's a strange rock that the smell seems to be originating from. There are grooves in the center, almost as if something is missing from it... Murtaugh is sat in the temple, seemingly attracted to architecture that reminds him of the Subnet. Dr Doofenshmirtz is also there, for... some reason. Maybe he just wants to hang with a fellow scientist? From here, you can go to PLEROMA or PURGATORY. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/848245566776803331/878367978054385694/sanctuarytreenight.png

@BravoLocke @Robbie and the Rottens @High Priestess Adiris @dame da ne spy @Max Bialystock @Coyote Smith @Valvatti ----VISIBILE ITEMS---- Ancestor Wayne has:

baguettekey

VISIBLE Magnifique travail artisanal, c'est à la fois une clé et une baguette. It looks delicious... and surprisingly sharp? Diogenes has:

cardboardbox

BIG It's a cardboard box! Not much more to say about it than that. It is quite big, though, easily enough to fit a person.

letters

BIG It's a series of alphabet blocks! You could probably make any word you desire out of these. The Plague has:

cursedapple

VISIBLE this apple is eminating a powerful dark energy that's obvious for anyone to see! It looks quite dangerous to hold on to, and even more so to use. I wonder if there's any way to purify it... Kazuma Kiryu has:

railcannon

BIG It's an electric railcannon! Once every 3 phases, it can be fired for 1.25 hearts of damage with very high accuracy. Alternatively, you may use this weapon to "electrify" someone or something, causing them to take .25 more damage from all sources for the next two phases. Electrified objects and players are magnetic, and all attacks made on them have improved accuracy. Ellen Ripley has:

xenomorph

VISIBLE It's the newborn Xenomorph! It looks. Terrifying!

Hey, I'm only mostly naked.

I really feel like I deserve a moment of rest without any trouser snakes waggling around.

Please, that covers nothing.

Diogenes BOT 20-Aug-21 09:19 PM

Oh, didn't notice it had slipped so far. I'll pull it up more. But still, you should become more at ease with our natural forms.

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:20 PM

Jesus christ, I thought space hippies were outlawed in 2246.

We cannot master our bodies without being comfortable around them.

Space? I'm from Ancient Greece.

Although it's not Ancient to me.

Which begs the question.

Kyoko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:24 PM

I TOLD YOU

DOESN'T MATTER

GUN GO BANG

What's going on is that Retsuko has become the abomination Wayne once was, and has spread farther and faster than him.

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:29 PM

What I'm wondering is how wayne managed to survive being positively blown up by Pasqualo.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 20-Aug-21 09:30 PM

he didn't tell me

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:30 PM

Like, I'm not crazy? We were there? Kiryu? Kyoko?

That whole tree was destroyed.

High Priestess Adiris BOT 20-Aug-21 09:30 PM

Kyoko this truly is the biggest climax will you be able to get to the pool and heal your health or will you fail

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:30 PM

Look, leave the climaxing for after this is over.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 20-Aug-21 09:31 PM

yeah found him in pugatory

High Priestess Adiris BOT 20-Aug-21 09:31 PM

Well not actually too big you guys seem to have done cooler climax stuff

Diogenes BOT 20-Aug-21 09:31 PM

Wayne told us while consumed by the horror that he planned to destroy this afterlife. @No Face If you do not leave this form, the same fate may come to pass.

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:31 PM

Oh jesus christ.

I've had too much fucking stress over this stupid tree.

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:31 PM

WAYNE HAD NO POWERS TO DESTROY

ONLY CONSUME

High Priestess Adiris BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

Whats up with her

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

She seemed sane when I first saw her.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

she seems very angry

Diogenes BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

Destroy, consume, whatever. Let's not get caught up in semantics.

High Priestess Adiris BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

So will you help me kiryu

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

NO I'M BEING SERIOUS

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

granted, my resting face is just anger

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

WAYNE HAD NO ABILITY TO ATTACK AS THE TREE

HE WAS ALL TALK NO ACTION

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:32 PM

That's probably not true.

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

I SAW IT MYSELF

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

He almost killed Minnie.

Diogenes BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

Yes, but he would still have been able to devour this realm, no? Thus ending us all the same?

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

And I took half a heart of damage.

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

NOTHING WAS GOING TO END

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

So unless his sharp stakes were there for freak love-making, I'd say he was perfectly capable of attacking.

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

HE COULDN'T HURT ANYONE

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

oh wait

Diogenes BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

So then what has you so irritated, if we were safe all along?

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:33 PM

AND YOU KILLED HIM ANYWAY

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 20-Aug-21 09:34 PM

i can't hurt retsuko

Diogenes BOT 20-Aug-21 09:34 PM

Well, he's not dead.

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:34 PM

I'm telling you lady, he literally hurt me.

I don't know what you're on about.

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:34 PM

HOW/

Diogenes BOT 20-Aug-21 09:34 PM

He's right here with us, worse for wear, but he'll live if we can get him into this pool.

Ripley BOT 20-Aug-21 09:34 PM

Well, he made a real sharp stake out of wood and stuck it into me.

It's not exactly a pulse rifle!

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 09:34 PM

THAT POOL IS LIKELY CONTAMINATED

AND WILL NOT WORK

Diogenes BOT 20-Aug-21 09:34 PM

It was before, but no longer.

Abomination Wayne Togami..? BOT 20-Aug-21 11:41 PM

What... happened?

To you...?

Who is speaking right now

Abomination Wayne Togami..? BOT 20-Aug-21 11:42 PM

...us?

Kyoko BOT 20-Aug-21 11:42 PM

Wait hold on

Wayne died

And now he's fused with his sister somehow

When did his sister even manage to get to the clouds

Abomination Wayne Togami..? BOT 20-Aug-21 11:43 PM

The streets... I saw her...

Kyoko BOT 20-Aug-21 11:43 PM

I see

How did she die

Abomination Wayne Togami..? BOT 20-Aug-21 11:44 PM

Did... not...

...still here.

Rejected... my soul...

Kyoko BOT 20-Aug-21 11:45 PM

No no you died

We all died

Actually are we even alive now?

Mmmmm this is a hard question let's ignore it for now

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 20-Aug-21 11:46 PM

as we should

Retsuko BOT 20-Aug-21 11:47 PM

THE PLACE WHERE YOU GO IF YOU DIE IS MORE LIKE A BREAK ROOM

I was gonna go there earlier

Abomination Wayne Togami..? BOT 21-Aug-21 09:54 AM

Listen... whatever happens... I must... say... I'm- I'm sorry for... everything... and... thank... y-you... for... ... ...mercy.

Ripley BOT 21-Aug-21 02:05 PM

Yeah, you better thank me, you almost killed Minnie.

But I don't think you're really a problem anymore.

Kazuma Kiryu BOT 21-Aug-21 03:05 PM

Diogenes BOT 21-Aug-21 03:21 PM

I shall aid him, but anyone else is welcome to help.

Ripley BOT 21-Aug-21 03:50 PM

I'll help you too, I went through too much trouble to have him die now.

Kyoko BOT 21-Aug-21 06:55 PM

Good luck with that

I'll be jumping in myself

God..? BOT 21-Aug-21 08:00 PM

The Plague nonchalantly goes to pick some flowers.

Seeing this as a chance, Kyoko tries to sneak over to the pool of water.

IMMEDIATELY, THE PLAGUE TURNS AND DASHES TOWARDS HER!

...

It seems Kyoko was prepared for this.

She poises herself, ready to roundhouse kick anyone who approaches!

Taking a step towards the Plague, she..!

stumbles.

Taking advantage of the oppourtunity, the Plague goes to tackle Kyoko, and..!

also stumbles.

Suddenly, tendrils emerge from Retsuko's body!

Before the Plague can react, they whip out, knocking her away from Kyoko!

Thankful, Kyoko sprints to the pool, and..!

CANNONBALLS IN!

To add insult to injury, the splash from the cannonball douses the Plague.

Squidward, though a bit pensive, approaches the pool as well.

He reaches the edge of the pool, and..!

stumbles straight in.

Not the most graceful entrance, but oh well.

Wayne? Erika? Begins to move, slowly slouching forwards to the pool.

Seeing this, Kazuma and Diogenes both move to assist them.

1

With one on each side for support, the fleshy abomination slowly makes its way to the pool, before...

quietly entering, barely even making a splash.

As they spend more time in the pool, they seem to lose mass, shrink, and... almost dissolve some parts.

It looks quite painful.

As more and more of their flesh seems to detach and dissolve, the water begins to redden.

...Gross.

Kyoko and Squidward both exit the pool before the... whatever it is in the water touches them.

...

You can barely see Erika's form in the water.

...

..

.

the water has gone completely murky.

...

Slowly, Erika emerges from the water.

"So nice to see you too, brother..."

1

But I'm afraid it's time I said goodbye to you."

She steps out of the pool.

Her hand seems to be reddened with still-convulsing flesh.

"...most of you.

Oh, I'm sorry everyone, I should introduce myself.

Erika Togami."

She begins to bow.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance."

As she rises from her bow, she smirks.

Unbothered by all of this, Kazuma sits down in sorrow.

It seems he has more pressing matters on his mind.

Suddenly, he begins to...

Sing?

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/316723224941428737/878514593322893332/Kiryu_Drinks.mp4

As he sings, he solemnly drinks his scotch.

-----Phase 12----- SANCTUARY SANCTUARY Finally, a moment of respite. You'd think the afterlife would be a place to escape from the chaos of life, but apparently it's even worse here! You can take a break here though, in this temple to all things beautiful and natural. Elegantly carved BRICKWORK intertwines with the vines and leaves of the forest, forming a comforting shell, the roof open to the night sky. There are flimsy roots to a dead tree, barely visible through the greenery that has grown over them. At the heart of the temple lies a perfectly still pool of dark red, murky water, guarded by a statue to an unknown yet benevolent deity. The water doesn't look the safest. In the grove outside the forest, there are all sorts of beautiful plants growing, with a few sparse flowers covering the floor in a canopy of colour! You wonder what they would taste like... Perhaps that beautiful aroma wafting on the air? Oh wait, no! That aroma is the smell of freshly cooked bread. There's a strange rock that the smell seems to be originating from. There are grooves in the center, almost as if something is missing from it... Murtaugh is sat in the temple, seemingly attracted to architecture that reminds him of the Subnet. Dr Doofenshmirtz is also there, for... some reason. Maybe he just wants to hang with a fellow scientist? From here, you can go to PLEROMA or PURGATORY. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/848245566776803331/878727656923877467/unknown-221-1.png?width=1298&height=676

like wwhat

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 21-Aug-21 09:57 PM

Well first of all, taking out the petulant beast that calls itself the ruler of this realm.

Wayne may have so rudely taken my body, but I still saw it call for my death.

Eridan Ampora BOT 21-Aug-21 09:57 PM

eh its quiet rn though

Dry Bones BOT 21-Aug-21 10:23 PM

what

why can I hear those two.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:16 AM

Why can't anybody stay dead in this place!

I bet Wayne's soul is still floating around somewhere even after that.

1

Actually...

[devious smirk]

I'll have to see to that sometime.

But for now we should get to purgatory and find out what exactly is happening.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:19 AM

First we should probably get some introductions out of the way. Unless you already know me?

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:19 AM

I have Wayne's memories. He probably had mine too before, well, you know.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:20 AM

Ah! In which case you should recognize me.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:21 AM

Yes, you were one of the most enthusiastically deceived. What a gift he gave you for that kindness.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:21 AM

He didn't give me anything did he?

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:21 AM

Well, I suppose not, but he was certainly planning to.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:22 AM

Really? Are you referring to the dark mutation?

I must have not gotten it since I didn't actually participate in the ritual.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:22 AM

I meant he was going to kill you, sorry.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:22 AM

What?

HUH?

This is news to me

Specifically me?

Or everyone?

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:23 AM

No, everybody.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:23 AM

Oh

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:23 AM

But you are included in that.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:23 AM

Yeah that would be true

Though, the only words I heard from Wayne during his tree phases were through the radio, never got a chance to talk to him in that state directly

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:25 AM

I doubt he would've had much more to say than the general "Blah blah time to die."

Honestly he was always very cut and dry with his evil.

Very good at pretending though, I could never pick up on it myself.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:27 AM

I still wonder what would have happened had the ritual been purified

Apparently had some holy branch been used the Eldritch tree would have been prevented?

At least that's what God said quite a while ago

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:29 AM

Wayne managed to see it coming and avoided mentioning it further.

Funnily enough the other item's really didn't do much for the ritual besides the apple and the barrel.

1

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:30 AM

I did feel a bit guilty... I was actually back-up for the ritual in case one of the four somehow failed to place their item.

And I was planning to use that branch

But alas.. it wasn't meant to be

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:30 AM

I wouldn't feel too bad, Wayne basically accomplished nothing evil.

If anything he helped everybody by getting Pasqualo and Fishbunjin killed who are actual threats.

Although accordingly they're back and with duplicates of themselves now so really this afterlife is just a mess.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:31 AM

I suppose it could also be said that you're here because of the Eldritch tree situation.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:32 AM

That is true... and I'm grateful for the opportunity.

I have a lot of unfinished business to settle.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:34 AM

Have you fully dealt with your cleansing yet? I was told that you had a corruption of sorts and came here to deal with it.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:34 AM

Oh that was Wayne, I should probably give you a summary of what happened.

While he was an evil tree, Wayne noticed my half-sapient self hanging out in an alley down in the streets. He decided to pay me a visit by trying to take my body as his own in the event of his main body dying.

Instead he wound up an abominable mess of flesh thanks to me.

Personally I'm not a fan of being turned into a meat puppet, and he must've not considered my soul would still be in the body.

God..? BOT 22-Aug-21 01:36 AM

(Btw this isn't what happened design wise, and the apple was the whole reason for the tree thing)

1

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:36 AM

(yeah they did stuff but wayne never used them lmao)

God..? BOT 22-Aug-21 01:37 AM

(oh yeah lol)

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:37 AM

In his arrogance, he thought that throwing himself into this pool would remove me and my corruption, as if I was the one doing the corrupting.

He basically managed to commit suicide by sanitizer like the infection he is.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:40 AM

Do you feel fully purified though? This pool has a history of “having side effects”.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:40 AM

Well my body is still a bit of a mess from the whole twisted flesh thing but I'm not in active agonizing pain like a few moments ago.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:41 AM

I’ll let you know then that I have a jar of purified holy water in case you need it.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:42 AM

Considering I'm still a bit of an unholy abomination from hell I think I'll have to pass on that.

Heh, maybe if Wayne had taken that he actually would've gotten rid of me. I'm the one from hell after all.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:42 AM

Hmm… what color was the pool when he jumped in?

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:43 AM

Oh it was very clean. That was us. Sorry about that.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:43 AM

The water in my jar is of the same quality as the water he jumped in then.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:44 AM

You'd best hold onto it then, I doubt people are ever going to stop having a need for pure water. Especially now that the main source of it was... made questionable.

I'm not jumping back in it that's for sure.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:45 AM

Altered Beast has the ability to purify, so he should be able to fix…

this

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:46 AM

Oh maybe I should hold off on killing them then.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:47 AM

…what made you think he wanted your death?

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:47 AM

Look at the kingspeech of phase 10.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:48 AM

He never said he wanted you dead though

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:48 AM

Now maybe I was wanted for tea but I don't think that's a chance I want to take.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:49 AM

I know what he meant when he said that, I was with him when he made that announcement.

I’m fact I might be partially responsible for it

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:49 AM

I'm sorry?

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:50 AM

It was because of my jar of water.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:50 AM

Ohh it was for Wayne wasn't it.

Garfield probably told you about his situation.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:52 AM

He probably did, but clarification would be nice

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:52 AM

Hm?

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:52 AM

“His situation” isn’t really specific

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:53 AM

The whole being a flesh monster falling apart by the presence of two souls in one body.

Garfield was the only one who had seen us before that announcement.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:54 AM

He did explain that, but not too well.

My initial impression was that Wayne took over your body and was just waltzing around as you.

And given his Eldritch nature, we thought that we may need to exorcize him from you.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:55 AM

That was technically the case. But it certainly was not a pleasant waltz.

And I guess he exorcized himself, so it worked out.

I still would like to find his soul again sometime.

I'd bet I could find an appropriate body for him to serve me in return for his rather rude borrowing of mine.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:56 AM

This may seem odd, but when Pasuqalo and that fish died, apparently they went to France. So maybe his soul would be there?

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:57 AM

Oh dear that must've been awkward for him.

I'm not sure if souls in the after afterlife can kill eachother yet again but he definitely would've gotten the short end of the stick if that

1

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 01:58 AM

Though it appears that Wayne exorcised himself after when the other two dead folk left France.

So perhaps he was able to avoid that talk

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 01:59 AM

I'll have to pay France a visit then, as disgusting as that prospect is.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:00 AM

It should be connected to Rooftops if my memory serves correctly

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:00 AM

Thanks I'll head there soon.

1

For now though, I feel as if we've reached some kind of end for this chapter of our story.

Oh wait that must be those deities psychic-projecting that into our heads.

I am really tired of all this nonsense so I'm happy to close the book on it for now. And I've barely even been here for it.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:05 AM

I can agree with this chaos being over...

Though I did meet a lot of new people and I don't think I made too many enemies

So I'd say it was still worth my time

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:05 AM

I think Wayne got some closure to his story too.

I always knew he was evil, but he never got a chance to actually do anything with that.

Died tragically in some idiotic explosive stunt for a movie.

I think this was his second chance, and he got to actually take it.

He might've even redeemed himself in the end too, I couldn't really tell what his feelings for everybody were as they helped his disheveled body into the water after everything he'd done.

People were surprisingly nice to Wayne for turning into an eldritch horror that tried to kill everybody.

Sure was a nicer treatment than I got for killing Catra.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:10 AM

While this may be the end of Wayne's second chance. I think it's also just as important that this is the start of your second chance.

So I'll be glad to help you with getting adjusted if you wish.

I can even vouch for you in case you meet with Altered Beast.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:13 AM

We'll see. I may have some old enemies from back in the forest hanging around here.

And I'm sorry to tell you but my drive for power hasn't exactly been sated yet either. If I also try to kill everybody sometime just know it isn't personal.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:14 AM

...

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:14 AM

Just being alive is nice enough for now though.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:14 AM

...yeah

Let's just focus on that

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:15 AM

You really are a good egg, you know that?

Shame you keep getting wrapped up in the plots of this big dumb family.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:16 AM

Well I doubt I'm alone...

Practically everyone got involved with the Eldritch tree.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:17 AM

(just finished reading up)

so thats that then

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:18 AM

For now that is...

The leadership and "paradise" issues are probably not going to be smooth sailing

But that's a problem for another day I suppose...

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:18 AM

erika i passed you on the streets a time or twwo but nevver met wwayne in person

my names eridan if i needed to introduce myself

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:19 AM

Hey there Eridan.

I don't blame you for passing me by earlier, wasn't exactly myself.

Although I don't feel entirely myself now either.

Guess there's still a bit of Wayne kicking in me somewhere.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:21 AM

in all honesty i wwas a strong encourager a alt sendin that message i thought you wwwere gonna revvivve the tree or somethin an wwas sayin you should be presumed dangerous

i apologize for my snap decisions

i heard hild givve some wwords that sounded like a sendoff through the wwalkie btww dry

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:23 AM

Oh I don't blame you. Who knows what Wayne would have tried had he taken over my body as planned.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:23 AM

What could you make out?

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:24 AM

basically a thanks an ill nevver forget you to her pokemon to ret an maybe to wwayne she brings up his name but im not sure in wwhat context

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:24 AM

Could either be a thank-you or a damnation when it comes to his name.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:25 AM

lookin more closely at that sentence she starts it off admittin she doesnt fully understand wwhat wwas up wwith the tree it looks like

an then a but an then talkin about his last action

called somethin a thrill

erika you knoww wwhat wwaynes last action wwas right

if i havve context i could probably givve you a more concise readin but maybe not idk

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:27 AM

Before he perished as a tree, before he perished as an abomination, or before Hilda left and he didn't see her again?

They were all very different last actions.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:28 AM

lets say wwith hild that seems the most likely i think

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:28 AM

I believe the last he saw of her was right after he had advanced the corruption on Retsuko.

Shook Hilda up pretty badly.

Of course Retsuko had been faking it and asked for that mutation but Hilda was not aware of that.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:29 AM

...

she asked for it?

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:30 AM

rets decisions made so little sense to me

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:30 AM

I don't know about the whole taking up the line of evil trees business but the rest of what she did made sense.

Although even I am technically not supposed to know those reasons so maybe I should respect her privacy on that.

I'll just say she... admired, Wayne.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:32 AM

as far as im concerned this game ended last phase id lovve to see sup and brine come dowwn here though as a showw a faith

1

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:33 AM

And why do you say that Eridan? What happened last phase that would make you say that?

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:33 AM

i mean tbf nothin happened last phase i showwed howw trustwworthy i wwas

it wwas just the phase before that

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:33 AM

Well, Retsuko was killed and I had just made my dramatic return last phase.

Turns out all the pandemonium now is going on over in purgatory.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:34 AM

i did tell those twwo they wwere deservvin of an endin wwithout me there maybe theyre just takin me up on that offer

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:35 AM

I'd say that last phase was pretty eventful

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:35 AM

wwait you can see purgatory erika

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:35 AM

Oh no I just have... "insight."

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:35 AM

huh ok

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:36 AM

A little birdie told me that Pasqualo and Fishbunjin, two of Fishbunjin by the way, have returned and are in purgatory with basically everybody else.

Seems like we're some of the few who get a moment of peace to finish this out.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:36 AM

i mean i did say that earlier

i havve a wwalkie talkie im not sure wwhere its linked to but its a movveinstant awway from purgatory

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:37 AM

Oh dear, it's good thing I didn't go with my Plan A for Phase 11 then.

1

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:37 AM

wwhy wwhat wwoulda happened

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:37 AM

Using the control panel, I wanted to try and set the sun/orb to self destruct at the end of Phase 12.

So I could make sure V1's objective was completed

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:38 AM

ah

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:38 AM

As a favor

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:38 AM

D- did V1 make their objective to kill the sun?

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:38 AM

yeah somethin like that

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:38 AM

I am not even surprised at this point.

Wayne's goal was to summon that eldritch horror but he got that done really quickly thanks to flat out asking people to help him so no wonder he was such an idiot with the rest of his time.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:39 AM

Ah, so he did lie.

I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt for a while

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:40 AM

my goal wwas wwell it wwas a lot more complicated than i first realized

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:40 AM

Yeah no he was very evil.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:40 AM

i wwent in wwith the assumption destroy hope meant i had to ruin someones objectivve

but there ended up bein a lot more to it than that

suffice it to say its done noww

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:42 AM

From what I've been hearing it appears like I was close to ruining a lot of people's days had my control panel idea gone through.

But I chose to hug instead

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:43 AM

What about you Dry Bones? Did you find what you were looking for? (i dont actually think you were looking for anything i just think thats a cool line)

1

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:43 AM

an i appreciate that yeah ivve been puttin off sayin it but did you maybe wwanna be my uh my moirail

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:44 AM

I don't see why not

I did find what I was looking for, though it wasn't what I initially came here for.

I found new priorities

I found a hope

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:45 AM

Then I'm glad everybody here could find their closure before the end.

Besides me, but you can just consider my goal to have been being alive, mission accomplished.

1

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:46 AM

It doesn't seem right to call this just "the end"

I think it would be better to say this is the end of the beginning

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:47 AM

That's a good way to put it.

But succeeding in the start is important to the rest of the story too.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:48 AM

I'm glad we're not stuck in the chaos right now. I imagine we wouldn't be able to have this discussion.

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:48 AM

Chaos certainly is fun on its own but peace is its own kind of special.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:49 AM

holy fuck really um alright ill try to make things go better than wwith my last one let me knoww if im bein too much or if im not lettin you in enough or wwhat ill try my best

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:50 AM

Aw are you two getting married? I'm legally a judge.

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:50 AM

Eridan... you can start by calming down a bit. This is supposed to be a peaceful moment.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:52 AM

NO WWHAT its not marriage its just datin really an its more platonic than that evven

an yeah youre right its just ivve had no luck in forevver an im afraid im gonna fuck it up again you heard howw it wwent wwith my prevvious twwo exes

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 02:53 AM

Alright, but let me know if you ever need someone for the ceremony~

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 02:54 AM

Ha...ha...

Don't worry about it, that's a feeling I've had to go through a lot here already

Specifically regarding messing things up

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 03:11 AM

so wwhats goin on wwith plague anyone knoww

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 03:12 AM

Last phase there were trying to stop another from... entering the pool?

1

And Retsuko very much did not want the plague entering itself; which made me think it was trying to, but I guess not.

Out of everyone, I feel perhaps she did not get what she wanted out of this all...

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 08:52 AM

Well... if I feel as if we should do something to finish off this chapter of the story.

1

I'm up for eating this baguette. I could cut it up for all as well.

1

At this point cutting the baguette with the baguette is one of the least absurd things that will have happened today.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 02:39 PM

sure ill try this baguette thing

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 03:54 PM

oh somethins happenin wwherevver im listenin in on

peoplere movvin an talkin though mostly about howw theres nothin left to do at least accordin to pasq

i think i am in fact listenin to cloudtops btww or cubetops i guess

an just like that its pretty quiet again i think

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:09 PM

2 hours noww

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:10 PM

I'm open to sharing the baguette, though I've already had one recently.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:10 PM

did you like it

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:11 PM

It was nice

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:12 PM

heh maybe you could feed this one to me

kiddin a course no need for that

God..? BOT 22-Aug-21 05:14 PM

(haha jk unless..?)

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:14 PM

I wasn't opposed to the idea to make it clear

1

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:15 PM

yeah but i didnt wwant it to be like servvitude or wwhatevver youre not my employee anymore

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:16 PM

May I ask when that change took place?

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:21 PM

i mean officially wwhen i asked you to be my moirail thats a bad powwer dynamic

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:23 PM

Yeah, I suppose that would make sense. It's just that I haven't felt like an employee for quite a while.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:24 PM

unofficially id say right around p8 or p9

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:25 PM

Quite a development from when we first met Phase 5.

Anyway... hasn't God already been dethroned?

What's the purpose of attacking him?

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:26 PM

apparently noww hes gettin killed too an idk wwell havve to find out in the epilogue i guess since theres no wway altd be that straightforwward in kingspeech

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:30 PM

Hopefully nothing catastrophic happens as a result...

Killing God isn't the type of thing that would go by casually.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:43 PM

wwe can only hope its outta our hands noww

do you havve ideas for wwhat youd wwanna do next i guess i could try to fill my other quadrants if you dont havve any qualms wwith that maybe if i can die an come back theres a quest bed around here somewwhere i can use to go god tier

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:49 PM

"Other quadrants"?

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:49 PM

yeah the four different types a troll romance i talked about earlier

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:50 PM

Oh those! I wouldn't mind trying to help out with that

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:51 PM

wwhat about you is there somethin youd like to do i can help wwith i dont wwanna make this all about me

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:52 PM

I... can't think of anything else I'd want to do.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 05:54 PM

its alright ill help you explore wwhat you wwanna do as long as it takes

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 05:57 PM

Now that's the type of help I'm willing to take.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 06:02 PM

i figure wwevve got an eternity or so to figure it out might as wwell make the best of it right

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 06:03 PM

With that much time, maybe anything is possible.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 06:23 PM

nice to knoww garf isnt carryin too much a grudge or maybe hes just tryin to suck up to gain my support in the future

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 06:24 PM

I'm surprised Billy didn't get any thanks.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 06:25 PM

maybe somethin happened betwween em idk they had twwo rounds for things to possibly fall to shit

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 06:27 PM

Hmm... that might be the case, but Billy played a big part in helping Garfield obtain his desire. I don't know if that could be undone so quickly.

..Perhaps he simply forgot

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 06:27 PM

wwell hes still got time if he wwants to add on billy to his list a thanks

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 06:45 PM

fifteen left

anythin left to be said i dont wwant there to be regrets an all

Ancestor Erika Togami BOT 22-Aug-21 06:53 PM

I've little more of importance to say.

But it was nice to meet you two.

I hope in whatever strife that comes to these heavens you find yourselves out of harms way.

1

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 06:54 PM

oh ill be findin myself wwrapped up in the politics a paradise soon enough im sure an my rifle aint just for showw but i appreciate the thought

nice to meet you also

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 06:56 PM

…I think we’ll still be fine, but it was a pleasure to see you’re doing well Erika.

And Eridan…

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 06:56 PM

yeah dry

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 06:56 PM

I’m grateful that I met you.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 06:57 PM

i should be sayin that first

but in any case youre welcome

dropped accent to display how serious i am once again

Dry Bones BOT 22-Aug-21 06:59 PM

Even though one of us is from Heaven and the other from Hell, I think we both made a positive impact on the other.

And that is hope to me.

Eridan Ampora BOT 22-Aug-21 07:00 PM

thats one hope ill never take away bet on it

Luci BOT 22-Aug-21 07:03 PM

LOCK

God..? BOT 22-Aug-21 07:13 PM

Erika takes out a picnic blanket and a set of silver Tupperware. She seems surprisingly prepared! Where was she even keeping all that?

She takes out her baguette, snaps it in two, and... Starts using one half to cut the other!

...

She seems exceptionally successful, cutting it neatly up into small slices, perfect to split up and eat.

Dry bones and Eridan sit down to enjoy the meal together.

Eridan goes to eat a piece, when suddenly..!

Dry bones, blushing heavily, offers to feed him a piece.

That's odd. I didn't know skeletons could blush.

Eridan, sheepishly accepts, and scarfs it down.

1

The two share a laugh together.

As the three smile and eat their food, a beautiful and soft melody can be heard coming from purgatory.

The Plague, ambivalent to all this, dabs.

1

They then remember that dabbing is something Kyoko does quite frequently.

Disgusted at the idea of imitating Kyoko in any way, The Plague begins to retch.

Man, what a way to ruin the moment.
