>quick recap
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:24 PM
You just returned from the Alpha Sector, victorious, and possessed of another VOID SHARD, only to find that Charoite was evidently shaken by some unknown force. Heliotrope, Charoite, and yourself are all in Hug City right now.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:25 PM
this is why I need to read more logs
can't really tactics into this without much info
@crystalcat?
>look around
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:26 PM
Hrm.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:26 PM
You're on your ship, in the main hold. The door to the deck is wide open.
According to Charoite's plan, you are to head to the Zeta Sector next.
You have yet to ask Charoite what, precisely, was assailing her.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:27 PM
>Ask her, then
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:27 PM
> ask this charorite person
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:27 PM
Charoite adopts a pained expression, before gesturing over to the wall behind you.
"He's right there. Laughing at us, right now."
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:28 PM
> Look at the wall behind you.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:28 PM
There's a sealed metallic crate, and nothing else.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:29 PM
> "Who's he?"
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:29 PM
>"Who?"
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:29 PM
"That... that asshole we... no. I. Burned earlier, just after we met."
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:30 PM
> Remember that asshole Charoite burned after you and them met.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:30 PM
Malpeiyc?
Crap.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:30 PM
that demon guy?
FUCK
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:30 PM
Why, Malpeiyc of Wveru Geten.
Now what?
Please enter command.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:34 PM
Hrm.
Ask the wall if Malpeiyc's there.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:35 PM
The wall tells you no. By which I mean it does not respond.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:36 PM
uh..
Are we in transit to Zeta?
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:37 PM
Not currently. You have not yet plotted a course.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:37 PM
Plot course, then.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:37 PM
Anything to do pre-Zeta?
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:37 PM
ETA: forty-five minutes.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:37 PM
Ah.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:37 PM
There is nothing left to do in Alpha, so no.

Erelye - Yesterday at 5:40 PM
In any case, will you attempt to practice fusion?
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:40 PM
Yes.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:41 PM
You do so. Aquamarine, Heliotrope, Beryl, all are achieved, with an abnormal amount of falling in the process.
Charoite just watches it all unfold, a sad look in her eyes.
ETA: 25 minutes.

crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:45 PM
Lapis has water wings, Topaz has... a sword, I think.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:45 PM
Cyan hasn't yet summoned hers, Topaz has got a sword, and you have the wings, of course.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:45 PM
Cyan, no idea.
Ah.
Try combining Topaz's and your weapons.
insert_generic_username - Yesterday at 5:45 PM
ah
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:45 PM
As a fusion, of course.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:45 PM
> fuse tenebrous substance and cannon
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:46 PM
Charoite mutters something to the tune of being too sick inside to attempt fusion, and you make what appears to be some sort of blade with what appears to be wings near the guard, frozen into ice. Odd.(edited)
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:47 PM
Also nice.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:47 PM
How will you attempt to fuse your Tenebrous Substance and a Main Phase Artillery Cannon?
Please enter command.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:51 PM
Hrm. Remind me of the descriptions of both items?
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:51 PM
Tenebrous Substance: Encroaching on the uncharted waters of the unknown to plot the impossible and improbable can often lead to unwanted attention. Such attention is easily diverted to others.
The artillery cannon is too generic to receive a description, considering you scavenged it out on the battlefield of Alpha.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:52 PM
Hah.
What does it fire, and how?
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:52 PM
Let's see...
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:53 PM
Massive plasma shells, from charged cartridges.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:53 PM
shove the tenebrous substance into the cannon?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:53 PM
We could always add Tenebrous Substance to that plasma...
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:53 PM
:mspa:
:mspa:BOT - Yesterday at 5:53 PM

Erelye - Yesterday at 5:53 PM
You pour the Tenebrous Substance into the cannon's barrel.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:53 PM
...

Erelye - Yesterday at 5:54 PM
The thing promptly begins smoking, and fizzles out. Then, it explodes.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:54 PM
kek
Is the tenebrous substance safe?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 5:54 PM
Ouch.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:54 PM
You no longer have any Tenebrous Substance, or one of the cannons.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:54 PM
fuck
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:55 PM
In other news, you're there.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:55 PM
My science has failed me.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:55 PM
Who will you take with you?(edited)
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:56 PM
> Everybody in good health.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:56 PM
Are you sure that's a good idea?
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:56 PM
No.
The statuses of everyone on board?
insert_generic_username - Yesterday at 5:57 PM
leave someone behind to keep charoite company
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:57 PM
Ah.
Erelye - Yesterday at 5:57 PM
Topaz is tired, but okay. You're fine. You're always fine. Charoite is shaken, is clinging to you, and looks ill. Cyan is pretty okay.
Please make your selection.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 5:59 PM
Take Cyan.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:00 PM
The old gang is back together. The two of you exit the ship.
Observing your general location, it appears that calling the landmass of the Nu Sector a continent was a bit of an understatement in comparison with this.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:01 PM
How big is this place?
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:02 PM
You can't see it end, certainly. But that might just be the mountainous nature of the area in all directions.
Well, save for one.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:03 PM
Look in the one direction.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:04 PM
You turn, and examine it. It appears as if a pathway was cleaved into the mountainside by monolithic hands. The thing is nearly two miles in width, leading upwards, to the peak of the nearest mountain.
Stains of pure gem dust appear to occasionally line this path.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:05 PM
gem dust?
Do we have anything to collect it in?
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:06 PM
Not really.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:06 PM
Walk to the nearest mountain with Cyan.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:07 PM
You head down the trail of death, side-by-side, and tense.
Before long, you can see what appears to be some massive complex composed of stone and metal blocking the path, with multiple layers, the tops of which appear to have been crushed utterly.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:08 PM
> Observe for weak points.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:08 PM
The door.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:09 PM
Open the door.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:10 PM
You walk over to the construct. It appears to be around eight meters tall, and primarily triangular. It has no handle, and displays the image of a messy counterclockwise spiral. A small image of a hand is directly below said spiral.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:12 PM
Push it open.
Also, is our inventory a hammerspace thing?
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:12 PM
Yes.
You attempt to push the door open. It will not budge.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:15 PM
Hammerspace out a cannon, and then fire it at the door, remembering to get back.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:16 PM
You pull out a cannon, and set it up. Cyan looks at you curiously. She simply inquires, "can you put that away?" Afterward, she places her left hand on the image of the hand. The spiral lights up, and the door slides down.
"We've... uh, we've done that before. You don't have to shoot the door."
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:17 PM
Hah.
I was considering asking her, but talking to people requires social skills and sense.
Anyway...
Proceed forward.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:19 PM
The two of you head down the triangular passage. Neon lights line the walls. Regardless, the further you go, the darker it gets. You arrive in what appears to be a rectangular chamber leading to another door.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:20 PM
Open the door.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:20 PM
You step over to the thing. As you do so, however, you stop. Some sort of gurgling noise is coming from right behind it.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:22 PM
Take out  your weapon, tell Cyan to do so, and proceed.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:23 PM
Your weapon is water, and Cyan's weapon is literally grafted to her arm.

Erelye - Yesterday at 6:23 PM

Do you activate the door?
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:24 PM
wow
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 6:24 PM
Yeah.
Do it.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:24 PM
Take out a water vial first, and make a sword.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:24 PM
You place your hand on the thing. Too late for making swords.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:24 PM
Then do the doory thing.
rip
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 6:24 PM
Just make water fists after opening the door.
(That never stopped being a thing you could do or anything.)
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:25 PM
The thing slides down, revealing a wretched abomination, just sitting there. Cyan immediately grips your hand, almost impulsively, and pulls you back.
Gemstones are just sticking out of the thing's body.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 6:26 PM
How "wretched" are we talking here? Like, from Donald Trump to Lovecraftian horror.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:27 PM
See if it wants to murder you.
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:27 PM
The thing appears to be a fused mass of at least six humanoid bodies, several of which are missing various vital parts. Two of the heads are stuck together, and the thing is uttering a combination of agonized screaming and gurgling.
ConsumerOfAll - Yesterday at 6:27 PM
It could just want to make friends.
:mspa:
:mspa:BOT - Yesterday at 6:27 PM

TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 6:28 PM
So it's a forced fusion, yes?
Erelye - Yesterday at 6:28 PM
Yes.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 6:28 PM
Attack it. No use in trying to reason with something that can't be reasoned with.

Erelye - Yesterday at 8:18 PM
You reseal the wooden box, and take it.
What shall you do with the other object in the closet?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:19 PM
Let's examine the Wailing Stone further. I assume pressing the button activates it?
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 8:19 PM

Erelye - Yesterday at 8:19 PM
The button is sealed off by a removable device.
Shall you remove said device?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:22 PM
Sure.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:22 PM
The wailing stone shudders, and the button capping it slides upwards, repeating a distorted fragment of a conversation.
"This is Comman-bzzt-az, still in position, to Drenovit. Imperium forces driving us down into Facet Ni-bzzt-cements requested. Division twenty-four downed by artillery volley, quadrant three overru-bzzt."
"Bzzt-ear you quite clearly, Top-bzzt-nnot afford to reinf-bzzt-РАХИС. BZZT-earl out."
The message repeats ceaselessly, akin to a broken record.
/AFK. :D
/UNAFK.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:35 PM
Replace the device.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:35 PM
You do so.
There is nothing else in the closet.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:36 PM
Loot stone, exit.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:36 PM
You step back into the main room. Two more doors have been left unopened.
One on the left, the other in the center.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:37 PM
Enter center.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:38 PM
You open the center door. Nothing is within the spacious chamber behind it, save for a crystalline pad, and lit candles.(edited)
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:40 PM
Examine pad.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:41 PM
You examine the pad. It seems rather peculiar, not appearing to serve any real purpose. At least, to your knowledge.
And Cyan's, of course.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:41 PM
Examine candles.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:42 PM
The candles are burning with standard flame. Several are dripping with molten wax.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:42 PM
Stand on pad.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:43 PM
You stand on the pad. Nothing happens.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:43 PM
Ok... Exit room, enter left door.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:45 PM
You open the left door. The room behind it is about three meters by three meters in size, and entirely devoid of light sources. On the far wall, there is a messy counterclockwise spiral and a note, both in what appears to be... maroon spray paint?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:46 PM
Read note.

The demon's pen functions in the tongue of conquerors, save for one.
Given that spinning ever backwards requires no fun.
And yet, life is strange, and its setting full of keys.
The largest of which shall flow through your penned breeze.
Ooh.
Take out a piece of paper and the Fountain Pen, and draw that counterclockwise spiral on the paper.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:48 PM
You draw the counterclockwise spiral. Slowly, the spiral seems to be drained of color, from the outermost line inwards.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:49 PM
Wait patiently and watch for anything else to happen.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:49 PM
Nothing you can see, at the utmost least.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:52 PM
Hm.
Back to the center room!
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:53 PM
You turn around to leave, only to find the door has sealed itself from the inside out. There are two more notes on the wall in maroon spray paint when you turn back to the spiral.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:53 PM
Read the two notes.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:53 PM
The first reads, "Qrw txlwh. Jr ixfn brxu vhoilh, Dcxuh Odslv. Brx wrr, Vrod Dpdudqwklqh. Kdk."
The second, "МАИВ ВИСЕ З-ВЕТАСЦО ВУЛ ПХЫЛАХ ЕМ АФТьМАТХАИ."
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:54 PM
"Not quite. Go fuck your selfie, Azure Lapis. You too, Sola Amaranthine. Hah."
Second: MAIV VISE Z-VETASCO VUL PHYLAH EM AFT’MATHAI.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:55 PM
PHYLAX.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:55 PM
Meh, used the translator you linked.
MAIV VISE Z-VETASCO VUL PHYLAX EM AFT’MATHAI.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:55 PM
There's no distinction between H and X in Cyrillic, anyways.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:56 PM
Eh.
So, what do...
we could always just copy down the Drenovian with the Pen.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:56 PM
Will you do so?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:57 PM
let's see..
Sec, checking Drenovian dictionary.
I recognize none of these except for Aft'mathai, who, as I recall, was the name of the mass-murdering ash phoenix back in wherever.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:58 PM
This is true.
Shall you write the words down with the Pen?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 8:59 PM
Sure, why not. We're locked in anyway, either this unlocks the door or it'll do something else horrible.
It's a metaphorical coin flip.
Erelye - Yesterday at 8:59 PM
You write the sentence down. Immediately, the paper begins to vibrate, levitating into the air of its own volition.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:01 PM
Also, this is the first ever instance of the Pen doing something actually meaningful, so let's save this sentence for later. (By 'actually meaningful' I mean something more than just random color changes or changing the ink into shapes.)
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:01 PM
The thing immediately bursts into maroon flames. Cyan grabs your hand. The fire emits an actual voice instead of the crackling of flame.
"One new message from Malpeiyc of Geten, Lord of ИОУЦОС, and all that jazz. Would you like to play it?"
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:02 PM
Yes.
Lord of IOUCOS? Well, if Malpeiyc holds the power of IOUCOS, that certainly explains some of the crazier shit he's done.
Like talking to the fourth wall.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:04 PM
"Hey, you two. I know there's two of you, and I can sure as hell feel this new environment. The grayness in existence dulls my lesser aperionic senses. Call me back when you can. Oh, yeah. Listen to this, as well. 'Only words can save you in Aft'mathai's realm.'"
The paper then crumples into ash, and drops to the floor.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:05 PM
So he can feel that we've moved to Discord, I see.
Noice.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:05 PM
Now what?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:06 PM
Check if the door's opened again. Also, Charoite was exactly right about Malpeiyc being around. The maroon spray paint proves it.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:07 PM
You turn back around to find, "That's probably true!" on the wall in maroon. The door is open.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:08 PM
Pf.
Ultimate-powered pranksters are always fun.
>Exit.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:08 PM
You are now back in the center room.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:09 PM
Go back and check the center room, the one with the pad.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:10 PM
You step back into the front room, and check it. The pad is now glowing softly.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:11 PM
Step onto pad. (Both Azure and Cyan.)
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:11 PM
You step onto it. You are promptly engulfed in a beam of light. A curious sensation comes over you, almost as if your stomach were being twisted about.
In moments, the light fades, and you are both standing on another glowing pad in a completely different room.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:13 PM
Examine room.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:13 PM
The room is massive, with four sets of staircases and innumerable ornate pillars within. A red crow creeps around near your pad.(edited)
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:18 PM
Examine crow further.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:18 PM
You step over to it. It promptly attempts to peck your eyes out.

Examine the staircases.
And any other exits.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:26 PM
There are four sets of stairs, two for each wall. There is also a spiral staircase downwards near a corner.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:26 PM
First, check out that staircase.
*Spiral staircase
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:28 PM
You head down the spiral staircase. It leads into a mass of computers and advanced technology, beeping and blinking.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:29 PM
*grins wildly*
Examine room.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:30 PM
There are several holotables ostensibly viewing a battlefield. All of them are frozen on some massive blinking red dot nearing the edge of the map. The computers all display static.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 9:32 PM
Hrm.
This would be awesome loot, but I bet we either can't or shouldn't take it. Instead, let's examine the holotables.
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:35 PM
The tables all display what appears to be the mountainous range you saw outside. At least, where you were before you took that warp pad back there. There are a number of pale dots around the large red one.
Nomble - Yesterday at 9:36 PM
Is there anything attached to the computers?
Erelye - Yesterday at 9:36 PM
Some psioglass wiring.
Nomble - Yesterday at 9:37 PM

None of them seem particularly important.
Nomble - Yesterday at 9:40 PM

Erelye - Yesterday at 9:40 PM
No. It all leads into the far wall.
Nomble - Yesterday at 9:41 PM

Not particularly. The light doesn't appear to be quite focused enough to do so.
Nomble - Yesterday at 10:06 PM
Try to use some psioglass wire as a lens.
Erelye - Yesterday at 10:07 PM
You focus the light into a beam, and project it into a nearby prism. The thing glows and shudders for a few moments, before emitting an incredibly large amount of indigo light.
The light seems to coalesce, and form some sort of creature of immense size.
Nomble - Yesterday at 10:08 PM

You give the Photobehemoth Azure Lapis's Famous Slap of Death. It dies.
The blurriness fades, and you note a full medkit lying on its side behind a toppled ornate table holding prisms.
Nomble - Yesterday at 10:54 PM
Take the medkit.
Erelye - Yesterday at 10:54 PM
You take the medkit.

>distribute medkits evenly
Erelye - Yesterday at 10:55 PM
You now both have two medkits.
Nomble - Yesterday at 10:55 PM
Check another staircase.
Erelye - Yesterday at 10:56 PM
You head up the staircase across from the one of your current presence. The room contains a wooden writing desk with a wooden box atop it, several tripods, and a plastic crate filled with empty binders.
Nomble - Yesterday at 10:57 PM
Check the box.(edited)
Erelye - Yesterday at 10:58 PM
You open the box. There's some instant film, a small jar of magetear, a carven maple pipe, a lighter, and some sort of camera with odd modifications.(edited)
Nomble - Yesterday at 10:59 PM
Take the contents of the box.
Erelye - Yesterday at 10:59 PM
You take the instant film, magetear jar, pipe, lighter, and The Polaroid.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 10:59 PM
OH SHIIIT
examine Polaroid
Erelye - Yesterday at 10:59 PM
The Polaroid: A retro instant camera. There are a few faded words scribbled on the side in maroon ink. Capturing the moment is a vital aspect of anyone's life, let alone a photographer's. Two small tubes of magetear have been attached to the left side of the camera.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:00 PM
What are the words
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:01 PM
If you examine them closely enough, they read something to the tune of, "It took a while to make this. Hope you like it, V. -M."
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:02 PM
Malpeiyc?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 11:02 PM
Oh my god. Malpeiyc made this for... another member of the Nine.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:02 PM
Ah, shit.
Is there a limit to how many pictures we can take?
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:03 PM
If you run out of that instant film, which can probably be fixed.
Cyan taps you on the shoulder.
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:04 PM
Listen to Cyan.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:04 PM
What does she have to say
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:04 PM
"You know what time it is, Azure? And please don't say adventure time."
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:05 PM
11:04 PM.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 11:05 PM
"What time is it?"
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:05 PM

"We just got a free camera. This clearly means double-selfie time."
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:06 PM
"Oh, sure."
crystalcat - Yesterday at 11:06 PM
So, shall we? The camera probably won't -- yeah, sure.
Let's do it.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:06 PM
INB4 THE PHOTO COMES TO LIFE LIKE DOUBLE DIPPER
CALLING IT NOW
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:07 PM
Theres a tripod in the room
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:07 PM
You take a double-selfie.
The photo is immediately printed out of the camera's front, as advertised by the name.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:07 PM
Do you have a marker?
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:07 PM
Inspect the photo.
crystalcat - Yesterday at 11:07 PM
I gotta say, magetear is a very interesting thing.
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:08 PM
You have a Pen.
In any case, you examine the photo.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:08 PM
Something tells me the pen wouldn't be good for writing "DONT BELIEVE HIS LIES" as a reference
I have a bad feeling writing even a phrase would give it power
crystalcat - Yesterday at 11:09 PM
It only works with Drenovian, so we theoretically could.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:09 PM
Ohh
Okay
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:09 PM
The two of you look surprisingly happy and friendly in it, given the circumstances of this world. However, the wall behind you in the photo is covered in what appears to be magetear, reading, "UVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLWUVZIGSVKIRHNZGRXTLW."(edited)

Whoa.
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:10 PM
"..."
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:10 PM
Take a picture of the prisms?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 11:10 PM
So the Polaroid, what, shows the truth of a situation?
Through convenient magetear commentary?
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:11 PM
Captures a moment of truth.
Shall you take a picture of the prisms?
crystalcat - Yesterday at 11:12 PM
Sure.
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:13 PM
You take a photo of the prisms in the other room. The floor in the photo reads, "Yilpvm tozhh svzigh, kirhnzgrx orvh, zmw uilavm grnv. Ulinvi gdl yfimrmt, ozggvi ivnzrmrmt."
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:13 PM
"Broken glass hearts, prismatic lies, and frozen time. Former two burning, latter remaining."
Take a picture of the computer room.
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:14 PM
There's some more magetear writing on the back of the prism photo, as well. You head down to the computer room.
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:15 PM
Read the back of the prism photo as well.
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:15 PM
"That reminds me, V, and I know you'll love this being on the second photo in here. This can only be used by the people who first reveal themselves to it."
You take a photo of the computer room. Text in the margins of the photo states, "Z kozmmrmt illn, yilpvm yb z hglmv lu ksrolhlksvih."
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:16 PM
"A planning room, broken by a stone of philosophers."
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:18 PM
What now?
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:19 PM
Take a photo of the room with the pad.
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:19 PM
You take a photo of the main room. "Qfhg z kivervd lu dszg'h gl xlnv~!"
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:20 PM
"Just a preview of what's to come~!"
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:21 PM
This is interesting.
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:21 PM
There are two staircases you have yet to travel up.
TwinBuilder - Yesterday at 11:21 PM
Travel up the longer one
Erelye - Yesterday at 11:21 PM
The longer one leads to a dust-filled stone chamber with nothing but an oak table bearing a slab of stone marked with an obscure rune.
:endlog:
:endlog:
That is how you do it, yeah?
Nomble - Yesterday at 11:24 PM
yeah

You and Cyan take a group selfie right in front of the table.
The words "Dzgvi-kirhlm" cover the stone slab entirely when the picture prints out.(edited)
Otherwise, the selfie gets a 10/10.
