TwinBuilder: MODULES
TwinBuilder: wait, nvm. I know what those are.
TwinBuilder: PLAY GAME
Erelye: [**Loading...**]
Erelye: [**Loading...**]
Erelye: "[**In any case, the remaining three gems left unshot or preoccupied by Vardiveig and company proceed to advance toward you, with destabilizers and psychic wards readied.**]
[**You've but a moment to react.**]"
Erelye: [**Game loaded successfully.**]
TwinBuilder: psychic wards?
Erelye: [**The thing the calcite is doing to prevent you from utilizing hydrokinetic abilities.**]
TwinBuilder: damn.
TwinBuilder: do we have a shield of any kind?
Erelye: [**If you want to try your luck with your own wings, sure.**]
Pope Cipurr: well they have to go up the ramp...
TwinBuilder: where are our allies located, again?
TwinBuilder: we're not all in the same spot, right?
Pope Cipurr: what do we have that could conceivably be melee again
Erelye: [**You're currently upon the ramp, after having swept the peridot off of it, which means you are directly next to FOMALHAUT. The closest ally to you is Charoite, then Cyan and Topaz. The other gems are advancing up the ramp to combat you, whilst Jade stares at you, silently, occasionally glaring at Vardiveig.**]
Erelye: [**Also, http://pastebin.com/sXngWA1X.**]
Pope Cipurr: time to make the worst decision in my life:
Pope Cipurr: using a sniper rifle to whack gems off a cliff.
TwinBuilder: hah.
TwinBuilder: let's do it, why not.
Pope Cipurr: or a mildly steep ramp
Pope Cipurr: how steep is it anyways
Erelye: [**Not particularly. It isn't quite that tall a ramp, in all honesty. It is long, however.**]
Pope Cipurr: ah, i see
Pope Cipurr: snipe them instead then
Pope Cipurr: how gem are they
Pope Cipurr: like half or
Erelye: [**All.**]
Pope Cipurr: i see
Pope Cipurr: hm
Pope Cipurr: how good is our aim
Pope Cipurr: and is it getting better
Erelye: [**Your AIM IS GETTING BETTER HAHAHAHAH - it's good enough to hit things in a straight line from you.**]
Pope Cipurr: i see.
Pope Cipurr: accuracy?
Pope Cipurr: precision rather i suppose
Erelye: [**Not particularly good. But not horrible, either.**]
Pope Cipurr: alright then...
Pope Cipurr: uh, gem placement of dampener?
Erelye: [**Collar area.**]
Pope Cipurr: i see
Pope Cipurr: wielding it in one hand or both
Erelye: [**They *are* the dampener.**]
Pope Cipurr: oh, gotcha
Pope Cipurr: hm, seems unlikely that anything hitting their body would poof them...
Pope Cipurr: try to shoot their gem?
Erelye: [**Are you ready for the responsibility of possibly murdering somebody for good?**]
Pope Cipurr: "no"
TwinBuilder: ...
TwinBuilder: probably?
Pope Cipurr: uh, go for the eyes then
Erelye: !coin
Erelye: !roll 1 5
Pope Cipurr: oof
Erelye: [**You manage to fire in a straight line. However, Jade staring at you is so off-putting that you almost miss, *barely* avoiding hitting the calcite in the gem. They stumble backwards, not uttering a word.**]
Erelye: [**FOMALHAUT nods once. "Good."**]
Pope Cipurr: ...
Erelye: [**"Now, take out those two, and I'll call everyone else off." She points to Vardiveig and Verda.**]
Pope Cipurr: the only ones left are fomalhaut, jade, knife, and the destabilisers right
TwinBuilder: I think so.
Pope Cipurr: hm
Erelye: [**Yes. The calcite is still unpoofed, but mostly incapacitated, of course.**]
Pope Cipurr: i somehow doubt the bristewater will work on gems...
Pope Cipurr: did they need conscious effort to stop us
Erelye: [**It doesn't appear as if this is the case, given your current lack of hydrokinesis.**]
Pope Cipurr: huh
Pope Cipurr: what's the resonator do again
Pope Cipurr: nvm
Pope Cipurr: i mean i guess i could *try* to do that but the others would get upset, not to mention reaction times...
TwinBuilder: Then what do we do?
TwinBuilder: FOMALHAUT's a god, probably.
TwinBuilder: But I don't want to kill Vardeveig.
Erelye: [*You can always shoot yourself, kiddo! That'll be hilarious.*]
Pope Cipurr: ha
Pope Cipurr: is topaz still trying to wake cyan up
Erelye: [**Cyan is stirring. Right now, actually.**]
Pope Cipurr: oh, alright
Erelye: [**Please enter command.**]
Pope Cipurr: why do we have artillery cannons
Erelye: [**Because you stole them from a rooftop after you murdered about a hundred goblins with them.**]
Pope Cipurr: oh, okay
Pope Cipurr: ...how usable are they
Erelye: [**Not functional enough to set up and shoot somebody with here, unless you can pin them to the ground somehow.**]
Pope Cipurr: i see.
TwinBuilder: if only we had a huge sword with which we could pin someone to the ground.
TwinBuilder: (topaz.)
Pope Cipurr: yeah but then we could just stab them
TwinBuilder: yeah, okay.
TwinBuilder: hm, the calcite uses psychic powers to stop us?
TwinBuilder: could we nullify their psychic power/cause it to rebound onto them, incapacitating them?
TwinBuilder: like, do any of us have an item that can do that.
TwinBuilder: cyan's awake now?
Erelye: [**Somewhat.**]
Pope Cipurr: "just toss fluchwater on them"
Pope Cipurr: "definitely a good idea and not murder"
TwinBuilder: I was thinking cyan could throw a ball of electricity/plasma directly at their gem, short-circuiting them?
TwinBuilder: what, exactly, does Ylahrthuian Salt do?
Erelye: [**It doesn't do anything you could comprehend by itself. However, you mixed it with salt water at the Manufactory to create bristewater, if you recall correctly.**]
TwinBuilder: And bristewater does?
Erelye: [**Nothing that'll help you with these nonorganic gems.**]
TwinBuilder: damn.
TwinBuilder: Fluchwater? Brinewater?
TwinBuilder: (Just so I can have a refresher.)
TwinBuilder: because water refreshes people get it hahhhshdaasdashdgsa'
Pope Cipurr: presumably useless as well
Erelye: [**Fluchwater general spirals out of your control into a mass of writhing brined tentacles, and brinewater something that one might equate to the great 'searing and crystallization' of the works of early Valudrian poets you've never heard of.**]
Pope Cipurr: i think you confused fluch and briste
Erelye: [**No.**]
Erelye: [**They do similar things. Briste, however, creates spines, not tentacles.**]
Pope Cipurr: ...
Erelye: [**Of course, briste mostly requires a water source from within the being to function.**]
TwinBuilder: ...Could we use the Pen?
Erelye: [**If you so wish.**]
Pope Cipurr: doubt it'd be useful
Erelye: [**Depends on what you write.**]
TwinBuilder: give them the cosmorod pack
TwinBuilder: <:msPaint:213597855041060864>
Erelye: [**"You all smoke some Abeniccis instead of fighting. You win the game."**]
TwinBuilder: kek.
Pope Cipurr: "amazing"
TwinBuilder: what if we took a picture of them
TwinBuilder: I'm being serious when I say this
Erelye: [**You have a limited amount of film left.**]
Erelye: [**Eighteen photos, to be exact.**]
TwinBuilder: and by limited, you mean--ah.
TwinBuilder: I'm just wondering if they'd react a certain way to it.
TwinBuilder: or if taking a picture might reveal a way to beat them.
Erelye: [**You might want to take up the Articersil blueprints, and make something of them. But, that's another story. You have five minutes until your turn is ceded.**]
TwinBuilder: oh, shit.
TwinBuilder: uh.
TwinBuilder: I'm an idiot.
TwinBuilder: calcite is incapacitated.
TwinBuilder: I didn't see that this whole time.
Erelye: [**Hah.**]
Pope Cipurr: still doesn't help
TwinBuilder: immediately water grapple them off the platform with enough force as to attempt to poof them. really, the main goal is to disorient them further.
TwinBuilder: could we do that?
Pope Cipurr: but we have one less person
Pope Cipurr: still nothing
TwinBuilder: why?
Erelye: [**You have no HYDROKINETIC ABILITIES, as the calcite is blocking them.**]
Pope Cipurr: guess we have to murder them? poof rather
Pope Cipurr: or get out of range
Pope Cipurr: not quite sure
TwinBuilder: aren't they incapicitated?
TwinBuilder: shouldn't that nullify it somewhat? bluh.
Erelye: [**It isn't conscious thought-based.**]
TwinBuilder: so we need to take them out.
TwinBuilder: we've got the autumnal hand, I take it?
Erelye: [**Or shoot Vardiveig.**]
Erelye: [**And yes.**]
TwinBuilder: wiat.
TwinBuilder: how do we know that vardiveig is a good person
TwinBuilder: and is someone we want escaping
TwinBuilder: "You don't."
Erelye: [**:/: O /|\ O :\:**]
TwinBuilder: fuck it, let's roll. immediately slice forwards with the autumnal hand against the calcite faster than FOMALHAUT can react. try to decapitate them or something, with the intent to poof. if they aren't poofed, try again, then reach for cover? because they'll probably engage in a direct shootout at that point.
TwinBuilder: wait, fuck.
TwinBuilder: we can't be faster than FOMALHAUT.
TwinBuilder: whatever, it's not a direct attack against them, so.
TwinBuilder: just aim for the calcite.
TwinBuilder: any objections?
TwinBuilder: <@178964701072326657>?
Erelye: [**Your turn's up, anyhow. Time to see what it does.**]
Pope Cipurr: uh, sure?
Erelye: !coin
TwinBuilder: shit.
TwinBuilder: SHIT.
Erelye: !roll 1 10
TwinBuilder: I'm fucking done
Erelye: ((I can't even.))
TwinBuilder: <:msPaint:213597855041060864>
Erelye: ((No, fuck that. Reroll.))
Erelye: !coin
TwinBuilder: THE SAME RESULT
TwinBuilder: oh
Erelye: !roll 1 10
TwinBuilder: OH
TwinBuilder: "Now average them." <:msPaint:213597855041060864>
Pope Cipurr: "amazing"
Erelye: [**You poof the calcite. FOMALHAUT frowns, then gestures to Amarill and Verda. "You have one. Last. Shot."**]
Pope Cipurr: ha
Erelye: [**You can feel your hydrokinetic abilities returning.**]
Pope Cipurr: hm
Pope Cipurr: what did the salt do again
Yung Venuz: screw rngeus tbh the game has killed us nearly twice now with a bad flip and 1 roll
Erelye: [**The Ylahrthuian Salt did nothing you can comprehend on its own.**]
Yung Venuz: first the giant guy and now this
Pope Cipurr: ...
Pope Cipurr: how much normal water is around
TwinBuilder: Alright, we need to end this. Aim the Autumnal Hand, pure but true, directly at FOMALHAUT. Encase it in a super-deudly stream of water, and launch it at extremely high speeds.
TwinBuilder: That's my proposal.
Erelye: [**None. You've got some water yourself, however.**]
Yung Venuz: yeah
Yung Venuz: we have plenty of **special* * types
Yung Venuz: just perfect for *friends* like FOOMALHAUT
Erelye: [**Do you wish to launch the Autumnal Hand?**]
TwinBuilder: Generic, agree?
TwinBuilder: wait what if they catch it or something
Pope Cipurr: ...
Yung Venuz: inb4 tails 1 again
Pope Cipurr: their reaction is like half a second...
TwinBuilder: and
Pope Cipurr: uh, get charoite to cover for you and then do it
Pope Cipurr: <:msPaint:213597855041060864>
Pope Cipurr: try to coordinate it better
Pope Cipurr: thoughts?
Yung Venuz: lets start off by dumping as much bullet hell as possible before launching it
Erelye: [**Agree on something quickly.**]
Erelye: [**As your turn will be forfeit in five minutes.**]
TwinBuilder: oh.
TwinBuilder: hm.
TwinBuilder: I say we try and fly as fast as we ever have and plunge the autumnal hand directly through them.
TwinBuilder: **With the power of a blade that has killed a Diamond on our side,**
TwinBuilder: **УЦОСЦО ХААКУ.**
TwinBuilder: (I think.)
TwinBuilder: (I hope I said that right.)
Erelye: [**'Is God' is truly the last phrase you will ever need to say.**]
TwinBuilder: <:msPaint:213597855041060864>
TwinBuilder: Anyway should we do it?
Pope Cipurr: get charoite to distract fomalhaut first then do it
TwinBuilder: ^
Erelye: [**Very well.**]
Erelye: !roll 1 5082
Yung Venuz: what
Erelye: !roll 0 0
TwinBuilder: uh.
TwinBuilder: what the fuck.
TwinBuilder: **:**
Pope Cipurr: nice???
Erelye: [**Charoite fires a blast or two from Falyscint at FOMALHAUT.**]
TwinBuilder: "Three hit."
Erelye: [**You proceed to soar at her at damn well near lightspeed, the blade stained with the dust of a diamond at your side.**]
TwinBuilder: itshappening.mtt
TwinBuilder: brb, will return on mobile
Erelye: [**Suddenly, you feel a jerking in your neck. Looking down, form burning with the heat of your ungodly acceleration, you note that your neck is in fact caught in a fist, one gemstone of two on the top of it. You stare into the eyes of Jade fearfully.**]
Erelye: [**“ʋʋ̥θʑɟςɣ ɮɕ ʑॡѦअɣѦɣ.”**]
Pope Cipurr: rest in rip
TwinBuilder: Ah shit. Forgot about them.
TwinBuilder: :)
Yung Venuz: :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
TwinBuilder: Pause game, translate above phrase/
Erelye: [**You forgot about the person you were attempting to attack.**]
TwinBuilder: Wait what
TwinBuilder: I thought
TwinBuilder: There were
TwinBuilder: Nvm I'm dumb
Erelye: [**Jade is FOMALHAUT.**]
TwinBuilder: Yeah
TwinBuilder: Remember that now
Erelye: [**GAME PAUSED.**]
Erelye: [**INPUT: ʋʋ̥θʑɟςɣ ɮɕ ʑॡѦअɣѦɣ.**]

Erelye: [**OUTPUT: "Feel me, Over-Flame.”**]
Erelye: [**GAME UNPAUSED.**]
Pope Cipurr: "keep trying to murder them anyways"
Erelye: [**Do you wish to do so.**]
Yung Venuz: rip us
Erelye: [**What do you do?**]
Yung Venuz: !coinflip
Pope Cipurr: !coinflip
Yung Venuz: keep trying to murder her
Pope Cipurr: well looks like luck is on our side
Pope Cipurr: (no it isn't)
Yung Venuz: ^
Erelye: [**Are you sure you want to do that.**]
Yung Venuz: (rng will roll us a 1 out of a trillion next)
Pope Cipurr: !coinflip
TwinBuilder: Try to awaken the blade's hidden power:
TwinBuilder: It has to have one.
Yung Venuz: we are getting killed by some jade scrub but this slew a diamond
Erelye: [**You attempt to unlock the hidden secrets of the Autumnal Hand of ИММЕ-ДРАХИС.**]
Pope Cipurr: !coinflip
Yung Venuz: it obviously has a hidden power, or the wielder slew a fracking diamond because he rolled a 999,999,999 on the 1,000,000,000 sided die and had extreme skills
Pope Cipurr: wow, we're dead now
Pope Cipurr: <:msPaint:213597855041060864>
Yung Venuz: ^
Erelye: [**Complete this phrase: Тхе ендинг оф тхе wордс ис...**]
Pope Cipurr: shit
Yung Venuz: oh no
TwinBuilder: What does that translate to!
Pope Cipurr: the ending of the words is...
Pope Cipurr: uh
Pope Cipurr: twin
TwinBuilder: ???
Pope Cipurr: that's what it says
TwinBuilder: Okay
TwinBuilder: Probably talking about the syllables we don't know
TwinBuilder: In which case let's forget it and not waste a turn
Pope Cipurr: :/
TwinBuilder: What? We don't know it.
Pope Cipurr: !coinflip
Pope Cipurr: welp luck's run out
Erelye: [**Turn ceded via indecision.**]
Pope Cipurr: what do we know again
Erelye: **ɮoअʑɣ पॢॡѦЊ ɕΦѦҒѮʑɟ पॢѦЊ-- · --- ----.**
Yung Venuz: i think we :kerpranked: oursleves witht his
Yung Venuz: eh
Erelye: [**FOMALHAUT examines you closely.**]
Pope Cipurr: our high drenovian translations?
Pope Cipurr: the previous ones
Pope Cipurr: that is
TwinBuilder: Shit I specifically wanted to NOT WASTE A TURN
Pope Cipurr: ha
Erelye: [**"You should have just listened when I said shoot, you know. Killed the traitors."**]
Yung Venuz: Translate the High devo, the last might be moorse
Pope Cipurr: it isn't
Yung Venuz: oh right
Yung Venuz: kekle my stupidity lobe
Erelye: [**"I suppose that's it for this *test*, then."**]
Erelye: [**FOMALHAUT raises her other hand. You have a moment to react. To do something.**]
Pope Cipurr: current state?
TwinBuilder: The... The traitors?
Erelye: [**You're being held by the neck in FOMALHAUT's other hand, of course.**]
Erelye: [**"Traitors. Rebels. Yes."**]
TwinBuilder: Can Charoite fire quickly to distract FOMALHAUT? With Falyscint.
Yung Venuz: How far restored is our kinesis.
Erelye: [**Wholly. It isn't a gradual thing.**]
Yung Venuz: Ah.
Yung Venuz: Then in that case, what water shall we use?
Erelye: [**You want to take the chance with Charoite, right after FOMALHAUT caught you at nigh-upon lightspeed?**]
TwinBuilder: They'll be busy with Charoite and then we'll have an opening?
Yung Venuz: no they won't
Pope Cipurr: nope
Yung Venuz: the strikes from before while chargign did nothing
TwinBuilder: Fuck, we need light speed.
TwinBuilder: We need MUSIC.
Yung Venuz: we need water you fool
TwinBuilder: Do we have an instrument anywhere? Does ANYONE?
Erelye: [**No. You've nothing but your voice.**]
TwinBuilder: And that... Wouldn't really work.
TwinBuilder: I'd bet that was a special effect for that room only.
TwinBuilder: Ugh, what could go fast enough??
TwinBuilder: ...I have a stupid idea but do void shards have offensive properties
TwinBuilder: Like, if we hit someone with it would it release energy or something
Erelye: [**That's probably the worst possible idea you could have.**]
TwinBuilder: Hah.
Erelye: [**Turn will be forfeit in four minutes.**]
TwinBuilder: Oh god
TwinBuilder: So they're holding us by the neck right
Erelye: [**Yes.**]
TwinBuilder: Are we still holding the sword
Erelye: [**It's a scythe, and yes.**]
TwinBuilder: Oh
TwinBuilder: Where does their Solidus energy come from
TwinBuilder: ?
Erelye: [ http://pastebin.com/7xT9fpvS ]
TwinBuilder: .
TwinBuilder: So, the low middle.
TwinBuilder: What does their gem look like?
Erelye: [**Two gems.**]
TwinBuilder: Does it have a specific low middle point
TwinBuilder: Er
TwinBuilder: Shit
TwinBuilder: Fuck aim for their other gem
TwinBuilder: The low middle
Erelye: !roll 1 2805
TwinBuilder: Try to aim for the Solidus point? If that's an actual thing
TwinBuilder: Welp
Yung Venuz: inb4 "jade snaps your neck before you even move a tenth of a one hundred thoasndth of a milimeter"
Erelye: [**You attempt to murder Jade valiantly, but are silenced by the feel of an unbearable heat in a diagonal streak across your chest, burning through your back, even around the area of your gem.**]
Erelye: [**You are blasted across the battleground, a solidus sliced straight through your gem.**]
TwinBuilder: WE'RE DEAD
Erelye: [**You collapse to the ground, mind foggy and drifting, blood pooling around you. You hear shouts from the others.**]
TwinBuilder: WE. ARE. ***DEAD.***
Erelye: [**Then, you hear somebody else speak, a shout fading into a mumble you can't quite hear.**]
Erelye: [**“ɮoअʑɣ पॢॡѦЊ ɕΦѦҒѮʑɟ पॢѦЊѮ-“**]
Yung Venuz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c4hnA8jXwo
Erelye: [**You suddenly feel another warmth in your gem, this one much more comfortable.**]
Pope Cipurr: can we translate that now or
Yung Venuz: ^
Erelye: [**OUTPUT: I am a silent change of mind, ВИЛИ-**]
Pope Cipurr: huh
Pope Cipurr: VILI-
Pope Cipurr: hm
Erelye: [**A glowing envelops your form, a heat throughout your body. You feel the slice reforming, somehow.**]
Erelye: [**Your vision returns wholly, flesh knitted back together. You are lying on the ground in a pool of your own blood.**]
TwinBuilder: B u t   i t   r e f u s e d .
TwinBuilder: Do we have the element of surprise?
Erelye: [**You hear Vardiveig shout across the area. "You owe me one, lazuli!"**]
Erelye: [**Everyone is looking at you right now, so.**]
TwinBuilder: Huh.
Pope Cipurr: oof
Pope Cipurr: we've distanced ourselves, i assume?
Erelye: [**You're about sixteen meters away from the end of the ramp, closest to Vardiveig and Verda.**]
Erelye: [**You should be dead. But you aren't.**]
Pope Cipurr: i see
Erelye: [**Please enter command.**]
TwinBuilder: Get up, first off. Let's get that important detail out of the way.
Erelye: [**You rise. Amarill looks significantly paler than she did when you went down in the first place.**]
Pope Cipurr: "open our eyes" nah
TwinBuilder: Can she guide us the power to stop FOMALHAUT?
Erelye: [**Can she?**]
TwinBuilder: Some kind of hyper light drift would be nice.
Erelye: [**Your turn will be forfeit in three minutes. Deliberate swiftly, and try not to die again.**]
Pope Cipurr: ask whether she understands music?
TwinBuilder: Ask her if she KNOWS how to defeat them.
TwinBuilder: ...and then ask her how we do it
Erelye: [**"I... I haven't exactly been around for whatever this new program was, you know."**]
TwinBuilder: Bluh. Right.
TwinBuilder: What about generics question
Erelye: [**"Music, or MUSIC?"**]
TwinBuilder: MUSIC.
Erelye: [**"Do you have a culinth on you? Maybe an orbalar?"**]
TwinBuilder: Don't think so??
TwinBuilder: Do you have one you could give us??
Erelye: [**"I literally just broke out of your ship."**]
TwinBuilder: Why am I dumb
TwinBuilder: Anyway check inventory personally to see if we have one. Pretty sure we don't do any other way to make MUSIC?
Erelye: [**You don't have a culinth or an orbalar. Whatever they are.**]
TwinBuilder: Alright.
TwinBuilder: ((The absolute madman. You actually made up instruments.))
Erelye: ((And note maps for them.))
TwinBuilder: Anyway ask for other ways to make MUSIC. And quickly.
Erelye: [**"I've only ever played those two! Now, hurry up, and dod-" She is cut off as Verda pulls her out of the way of a sweeping wave of pure light coming from FOMALHAUT's direction, further away from you.**]
TwinBuilder: Dodge.
Erelye: [**You dodge the blast.**]
Erelye: [**When the light and smoke clears, you can see the two stepping onto the spherical second ship.**]
TwinBuilder: Try to make MUSIC through your voice. This is all I've got. Idk, do it to the tune of like a comet. Then we'll be.... Like a comet. If that doesn't work use it as a distaction (that also probably won't work) and slice through FOMALHAUT. If THAT doesn't work, dodge the next light beam and also see if you can reflect it.
Erelye: [**Some... say you have no direction, that you're a lightspeed distaction; that's a knee-jerk reaction.**]
TwinBuilder: WILL THIS WORK
Erelye: !roll 1 3
TwinBuilder: !!!
Erelye: [**Quietly, you sing the opening parts of Mr. Universe's hit single Like A Comet. Energy floods your veins. Charoite, Cyan, and Topaz look shocked, Amarill and Verda amused. FOMALHAUT scowls.**]
TwinBuilder: YES
Erelye: [**You can hear the choir invisible chanting about within your veins again.**]
TwinBuilder: LV. 99 SCYTHETECH: TURNTECH GODHEAD
TwinBuilder: DO IT.
TwinBuilder: ENGAGE THE FOMALHAUT MOTHERFUCKER.
Erelye: !roll 1 43
TwinBuilder: HAHAHAHAHA
Pope Cipurr: "nice"
TwinBuilder: PEPES BURGERS
Erelye: [**You rush at FOMALHAUT with a melody in your mind. She is barely able to react, and slashes a hand through the air, blasting a burning solidus of light at you, which you manage to strike through. You're standing right before her now.**]
TwinBuilder: Slice clean through her. I guess don't shatter? But DO IT.
Pope Cipurr: if the MUSIC's still going then yeah
Erelye: [**You attempt to bisect FOMALHAUT.**]
Erelye: [**She calls her weapons forth.**]
TwinBuilder: RRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Erelye: [**With some effort, she *catches* your blade in what are now two gauntleted hands.**]
Erelye: [**A stalemate is reached. What do you do?**]
TwinBuilder: Ah crap
Pope Cipurr: well her limbs are occupied
Pope Cipurr: shoot her
TwinBuilder: Water gauntlet punch her in the face?
Pope Cipurr: charoite do it rather
TwinBuilder: Or shoot her, yeah. Have Charoite do it. MAKE SURE WERE NOT IN THE WAY.
Pope Cipurr: unless we're still going too fast
Erelye: [**All of your party is too stunned by this sudden display to do anything.**]
Pope Cipurr: in which case, uh,
Pope Cipurr: attempt to trip them???
Erelye: !roll 1 5
Pope Cipurr: rip
Erelye: [**You kick at one of her legs ineffectually, with the rhythm.**]
Pope Cipurr: dang
Erelye: [**Jade slides her gauntlets down the blade, grasping at the handle of the scythe.**]
Pope Cipurr: "headbutt them"
Erelye: [**She's like a foot taller than you.**]
Pope Cipurr: oh
Pope Cipurr: uh, try to get them with your wings?
Erelye: [**Mere moments from pulling the Autumnal Hand from your grasp, a sudden harsh light blares on both of you from the air.**]
TwinBuilder: Use the rhythm to turn the blade into light so it passes through her and the--
TwinBuilder: What
Erelye: [**Both of you freeze.**]
Erelye: [**The door to the now-active second ship is still open. Tapping at some controls near the entrance, Verda calls over to you. "We'll see you at the safe haven. *Earth*."**]
TwinBuilder: Oh okay then
TwinBuilder: NOW WHILE SHES DISTACTED
Erelye: [**Two massive bolts of plasma spear the side of this ship from theirs, rocking the ramp before you can do anything.**]
Pope Cipurr: huh
Erelye: !coin
Erelye: [**FOMALHAUT takes the opportunity to throw you over by the Autumnal Hand itself.**]
Pope Cipurr: rip
TwinBuilder: Damnit
TwinBuilder: There goes the flow
Erelye: [**You land on the ground below, MUSIC fading in the chaos.**]
TwinBuilder: DAMNIT
TwinBuilder: I worked so hard for that ;-;
TwinBuilder: ((Gtg))
Pope Cipurr: oh well
Pope Cipurr: are the others recovered yet
Erelye: [**The last thing you see before the door to the red spherical ship closes is Vardiveig flipping FOMALHAUT off, and then pulling Verda into a kiss of some form. FOMALHAUT begins to shout at herself as the ship leaves. Everyone else has mostly recovered from the shock.**]
Pope Cipurr: i see
Erelye: [**Before long, Jade splits up into two gems.**]
Pope Cipurr: oh hey
Pope Cipurr: shoulda expected that
Pope Cipurr: so currently there's the gem destabilisers, knife, and fomalhaut's halves?
Erelye: [**Yes.**]
Pope Cipurr: i see
Erelye: [**At the rate everything's going, the two halves will likely self-destruct the entire assault team. You don't think you'll even have to do anything.**]
Pope Cipurr: oh okay
Pope Cipurr: where's the hand?
Erelye: [**Fortunately, it fell onto the ground beside you.**]
Pope Cipurr: pick it up and run back to the others while you have time
Erelye: [**You do so, catching a snippet of the conversation between the two FOMALHAUT-halves. The taller one, Tsavorite, appears to wish to stay, whereas Emerald, the shorter one, is currently dragging Tsavorite into the smoking ship, saying something to the tune of "You know I love you, but we are not just going to sit around while they get away."**]
Erelye: [**The remaining soldiers seem confused for a second, and then just sort of quickly grab their fallen comrades and enter the ship before Emerald shuts the door on them. You were right. You didn't have to do anything.**]
Erelye: [**The remaining ИММЕЦОН ship exits the area in a flash of light, in the same direction Vardiveig and Verda went.**]
Erelye: [**What do you do?**]
Pope Cipurr: well that went relatively well
Pope Cipurr: let's just collect everyone and set off if there's nothing else that needed doing.
Pope Cipurr: ...
Pope Cipurr: colon?
Pope Cipurr: what was that about again
Erelye: [**Colon is gone.**]
Erelye: [**For now.**]
Erelye: [**Do you wish to plot a course to the *Chi Sector*?**]
Pope Cipurr: sure
Erelye: [**You do so, loading everyone onto the ship without answering any questions whatsoever. Do you wish to save and quit?**]
Pope Cipurr: yeah
Erelye: [**Saving...**]
Erelye: [**Saving...**]
Erelye: [**Game saved successfully. Quitting.**]
Erelye: [**END OF CHAPTER ONE.**]
Erelye: [**Тхе ендинг оф тхе wордс ис МАЛАФИМ-АЗСОЛТОЧ.**]
