  1. 01:26:05: <Paradox> Dr_Floyd and Wyl arrive on Loias, a tranquil-looking island. It's entirely covered by snow and ice ... but you notice it's not really THAT cold there.
  2. 01:26:25: wyl is okay with this. Unbuttoned shirt, you know the drill.
  3. 01:27:08: DR_FLOYD is unfazes, it reminds him from his young years on the northern parts of the Empire.
  4. 01:27:15: <DR_FLOYD> *unfazed
  5. 01:27:42: <Paradox> The entire island seems to be shaped like a big icy cone. There's several gigantic yawning caves going into the ice mountain - caves large enough for SEVERAL pancakes to fly through!
  6. 01:28:29: <wyl> "...This could take a while."
  7. 01:29:56: <DR_FLOYD> "Vell, not if ve 'ave a little 'elp."
  8. 01:30:36: <DR_FLOYD> "A Pokémon viz heat-seeking capabilities could 'elp now, specially on such a place."
  9. 01:31:06: <wyl> "Well, I don't quite have that..." Wyl searches through his pack and produces Vision, however. "But I do have the one who saw what we were after in the first place~"
  10. 01:33:15: <Paradox> <> <>
  11. 01:33:22: <DR_FLOYD> "A good idea as vell." Floyd says while shrugging. "Ve must start as soon as possivle, anyvay."
  12. 01:33:49: <Paradox> < How may I be of assistance? >
  13. 01:35:35: <wyl> "Can you lead us to the prison? We don't have forever to comb this place aimlessly."
  14. 01:36:52: <Paradox> < Well ... I would assume at the very bottom of the icy dungeons. The top levels seem to be mostly full of small shapeless figures - dittos, I would assume. I can feel some differents minds deep below in the ice. >
  15. 01:37:45: <wyl> "Well, that's more than we had to go on before," Wyl nods, stretching out. "Shall we, then?"
  16. 01:38:25: <Paradox> < There's quite a lot of dittos on the upper levels of this ice tower ... I wouldn't want to alet all of them to our presence. >
  17. 01:40:07: <DR_FLOYD> "So it's a Prison Break, eh? Vell, i 'ave an idea." Floyd says as he releases Shorty from her Pokéball. The Froslass looks back at him, and gives a graceful wave. "Our girl 'ere can become invisible. She can scout ze safe places for us to go."
  18. 01:41:01: <DR_FLOYD> (wait, change invisible to stealthed)
  19. 01:41:35: <wyl> "That's a start. Whatever we need to do."
  20. 01:43:33: <Paradox> With Vision's empathic senses, and Shorty's scouting, and of course Wyl's own navigator's intuition, the labyrinthine corridors of ice are not nearly as impossible as they might have otherwise been.
  21. 01:43:40: <Paradox> ( Roll dex~ )
  22. 01:43:57: <wyl> 1d20+5
  23. 01:43:58: <DiceMaid-9001> Wyl, 1d20+5: 12 [1d20=7]
  24. 01:44:18: <DR_FLOYD> 1d20
  25. 01:44:19: <DiceMaid-9001> Dr_Floyd, 1d20: 20 [1d20=20]
  26. 01:45:31: <DR_FLOYD> (hahaha)
  27. 01:46:07: <Paradox> With Shorty's help and some quick thinking from Floyd, you manage to sneak past all the guards without any trouble!
  28. 01:46:35: <Paradox> You completely avoid the first encounter, gaining 4k exp, and reach the spiraling staircase down into the dungeons.
  29. 01:48:45: wyl keeps working on his mental map of the place as he heads down; they do have to get people out of here, afterall.
  30. 01:51:07: <Paradox> Reaching the bottom of the staircase, you come to a long icy corridor. There's a closed gate ahead; in front of the gate, two dittos are sitting on a table. They seem to be smoking and playing cards. They're both facing away from you, and haven't yet noticed you.
  31. 01:52:00: <DR_FLOYD> "...You'd zink they vouldn't play cards. Shapeshifters are pretty good bluffers." Floyd mumbles to himself. "So, ve sneak or ve fight?"
  32. 01:52:53: wyl takes a look around. "I doubt we've really got ay other way in"
  33. 01:53:20: <Paradox> Indeed, it's just a straight corridor.
  34. 01:54:23: <DR_FLOYD> "Vell, zhey could make trouble on ze vay out, yes." He concurs while readying himself to battle. "So, on ze count of three?"
  35. 01:54:35: wyl aims his bow for ambush. "Sure."
  36. 01:57:10: <Paradox> ( make whatever ranged attacks you may have! )
  37. 01:57:20: <wyl> 1d20 AC4 Crossbow ambush?
  38. 01:57:22: <DiceMaid-9001> Wyl, AC4 Crossbow ambush?: 6 [1d20=6]
  39. 01:57:28: DR_FLOYD pulls a lever on his arm while Shorty throws a shadow ball!
  40. 01:57:45: <DR_FLOYD> 1d20 meteor mash
  41. 01:57:46: <DiceMaid-9001> Dr_Floyd, meteor mash: 17 [1d20=17]
  42. 01:57:48: <wyl> 5d8+5 if that hits, really should have upgraded my weapon but oh well
  43. 01:57:49: <DR_FLOYD> 1d20 shadow ball
  44. 01:57:49: <DiceMaid-9001> Wyl, if that hits, really should have upgraded my weapon but oh well: 28 [5d8=4,6,4,2,7]
  45. 01:57:50: <DiceMaid-9001> Dr_Floyd, shadow ball: 12 [1d20=12]
  46. 01:58:06: <wyl> 1d20 Vision fires a psychic attack too I guess fuck yeah ambushes
  47. 01:58:07: <DiceMaid-9001> Wyl, Vision fires a psychic attack too I guess fuck yeah ambushes: 1 [1d20=1]
  48. 01:58:15: <DR_FLOYD> 4d12+25 meteor mash
  49. 01:58:15: <DiceMaid-9001> Dr_Floyd, meteor mash: 58 [4d12=6,6,10,11]
  50. 01:58:16: <wyl> (dicemaid why you hate me today)
  51. 01:58:48: <DiceMaid-9001> Dr_Floyd, shadow ball: 65 [2d12=11,1]
  52. 01:58:48: <DR_FLOYD> 2d12+53 shadow ball
  53. 01:59:15: <Paradox> Floyd's spring-powered fist of SCIENCE knocks the Ditto out cold!
  54. 01:59:39: <Paradox> Wyl sinks a bolt into the other one, who then flails around!
  55. 01:59:49: <Paradox> The Shadow Ball sadly goes right through it because it's a normal type :T
  56. 02:00:06: <DR_FLOYD> (...welp)
  57. 02:00:54: <Paradox> "Augh! Intruders! Randy, hit the alarm!"
  58. 02:01:02: <Paradox> But Randy is knocked out!
  59. 02:01:30: <Paradox> "Raaaaaandy nooooo!"
  60. 02:01:32: <DR_FLOYD> "Randy? Really?" Floyd runs in the Ditto's direction, ready for a SCIENCE KICK!
  61. 02:02:08: <Paradox> It squirms around, and the goopile tries to squirm towards a red button emerging from the ice wall.
  62. 02:02:40: <Paradox> Gogo Wyl!
  63. 02:02:51: <wyl> 1d20 Stopping him?
  64. 02:02:51: <DiceMaid-9001> Wyl, Stopping him?: 7 [1d20=7]
  65. 02:02:56: <wyl> 5d8+5
  66. 02:02:56: <DiceMaid-9001> Wyl, 5d8+5: 25 [5d8=6,2,2,8,2]
  67. 02:03:07: wyl lets loose another one when it gets close to the button
  68. 02:04:45: <Paradox> Wyl just barely manages to hit, and pins the goopile to the wall with a bolt.
  69. 02:04:50: <Paradox> "AAAUGH"
  70. 02:06:29: <wyl> Wyl flinches for a moment at the dittoscream and looks to Floyd to see what he's going to do.
  71. 02:07:04: <DR_FLOYD> (Can i?)
  72. 02:07:08: <Paradox> ( yes )
  73. 02:07:22: <DiceMaid-9001> Dr_Floyd, FALCON KICK: 7 [1d20=7]
  74. 02:07:22: <DR_FLOYD> 1d20 FALCON KICK
  75. 02:07:56: <DR_FLOYD> 4d12+15 damage
  76. 02:07:57: <DiceMaid-9001> Dr_Floyd, damage: 38 [4d12=5,1,9,8]
  77. 02:09:00: DR_FLOYD punts the pinned goo on whatever he thinks his family jewels are!
  78. 02:10:17: <Paradox> That turns out to be the head.
  79. 02:10:25: <Paradox> "OH GOD OW NO OW STOP OKAY I'LL TALK"
  80. 02:13:13: <DR_FLOYD> "Don't talk. In fact, keep quiet and give us ze keys to ze place."
  81. 02:15:55: wyl lowers his bow and nods.
  82. 02:16:21: <Paradox> "Keys? Hah. We're smarter than that!"
  83. 02:16:37: <Paradox> "Only a ditto can open the gate!"
  84. 02:16:50: <wyl> "...Well, open it up for us then."
  85. 02:16:52: <DR_FLOYD> "I guess ve are taking you as a 'ostage zhen."
  86. 02:17:07: <Paradox> "Oh. Fuck."
  87. 02:17:11: <Paradox> "What about Randy?"
  88. 02:17:15: <Paradox> "Take Randy!"
  89. 02:17:26: <wyl> "That works too."
  90. 02:18:11: <DR_FLOYD> "Yes, it does. But you are conscious."
  91. 02:19:02: <Paradox> "Well, you just need to touch them up against the door!"
  92. 02:19:39: wyl gathers up the Randy goopile.
  93. 02:19:55: <Paradox> Wyl gained x1 RANDY
  94. 02:20:07: wyl uses RANDY with GATE
  95. 02:20:23: DR_FLOYD grabs the other Ditto, taking him on a MIGHTY STEEL GRIP.
  96. 02:20:26: <Paradox> The Gate slowly creaks open, revealing the icy corridor beyond.
  97. 02:20:48: <Paradox> "Aw man no man no just take Randy man please man aw man no man aw c'mon"
  98. 02:21:40: <wyl> "Stop complaining, we could have just killed you, you know."
  99. 02:22:06: wyl gets going
  100. 02:22:58: <DR_FLOYD> "Maybe ve should. It's not like ve need 'im alive." Floyd says as he keeps carrying the gooman.
  101. 02:23:25: <Paradox> "Woah woah no you need me alive, I'm way better than Randy."
  102. 02:24:17: <Paradox> Anyway, as you walk through the corridors, there's quite a few empty jail cells on either side.
  103. 02:25:27: <DR_FLOYD> "Vhere are ze prisoners...?"
  104. 02:25:55: <Paradox> Eventually you reach a cell that contains some prisoners!
  105. 02:26:02: wyl tenses up a little with each empty jail cell. Clearly it's starting to worry him, until they actually do find some.
  106. 02:26:07: <DR_FLOYD> "Oh here."
  107. 02:26:11: <DR_FLOYD> *'ere
  108. 02:26:45: <Paradox> There's three women and two men within one jail cell. They seem to be mostly Veilbeak villagers; all of them quite old and enfeebled.
  109. 02:27:09: <Paradox> You recognize one of them as the man Bokor spoke to, the one that gave him the candy bars.
  110. 02:27:40: <DR_FLOYD> "...Vhat terrible conditions." Floyd glares at the Ditto. "You. Open it."
  111. 02:28:22: <wyl> "Hey, we're here to help," Wyl speaks up, then realises he can't remember whether they would understand that and tries to motion something along the lines of helping. And then just gives up and looks for a way to open this thing.
  112. 02:29:24: <Paradox> Touching the Ditto to the cell opens it easily enough!
  113. 02:29:35: <Paradox> " Oh .. you're .. *cough* Bokor's friend .. "
  114. 02:29:59: <wyl> "Yes. Sorry it's taken so long, we were kind of statues for a while."
  115. 02:30:34: <DR_FLOYD> "Are zhere any other prisoners inside 'ere?" Floyd asks the Candyman while helping the other prisoners getting out of the cell.
  116. 02:30:42: <Paradox> They seem quite weak. Their lips are chapped, and their eyes unfocused. They're at least all wearing warm looking blankets; much needed, since otherwise they'd quickly suffer from frostburn from the icy walls and floor.
  117. 02:31:33: wyl gets out his medical kit and does what treatment he can, also bringing out Aqualung to help out with warmth
  118. 02:32:42: <Paradox> They're in clearly no condition to go anywhere without some help, but they're mostly just dehydrated and hungry.
  119. 02:33:18: <Paradox> "Prisoners... yeah... the rest of the tribe .. the old, the weak, and those that would not submit. .. "
  120. 02:33:56: <Paradox> "Most people were taken elsewhere, to help build those soulless steel machines..."
  121. 02:34:15: <DR_FLOYD> "I... See... Herr Vyl, vhat should ve do? Ve need to liberate ze other ones..."
  122. 02:34:28: <Paradox> "And there were a few others in the prisons, too. Outsiders, like you."
  123. 02:34:52: <Paradox> "Probably being .. being .. *cough* interrogated by that evil man... "
  124. 02:35:22: <wyl> "..." Wyl bites his lip as he does his best to get them in a better condition. "We do, but... but if we leave them here to come back later it'll cause problems if someone else discovers this before we're done. It'd be forfeiting their lives."
  125. 02:37:11: <DR_FLOYD> "Zat is my point... Unless... Let's leave Aqualung und Shorty 'ere, zhey vill guard ze prisoners 'ere vhile ve go deeper."
  126. 02:38:18: wyl looks to Aqualung... and to the prisoners. "Will that be alright? Or do you think you're able to come with us?"
  127. 02:39:29: <Paradox> He shakes his head.
  128. 02:39:50: <Paradox> "Too weak... Damn .."
  129. 02:40:38: <Paradox> "But perhaps we can let the others while you go deeper in."
  130. 02:41:23: DR_FLOYD lifts his shoulders. "It's for ze best ve leave you 'ere zhen..."
  131. 02:43:17: wyl nods. "Aqualung, take care of them, alright? We'll be back as fast as we can."
  132. 02:45:20: <Paradox> Aqualung nods.
  133. 02:48:03: DR_FLOYD pats his Froslass. "Take care of zhem, und stay out of trouble, okay? I vill return soon."
  134. 02:48:21: wyl pats Aqualung with a smile, then sternfaces. "Let's get going then." and does
  135. 02:49:05: <DR_FLOYD> "Of course." Floyd leaves the others as he heads deeper inside the prison.
  136. 02:52:20: <Paradox> A few of the cells you walk past have a few more Veilbeak clansmen ... ones that are clearly deceased. On the very last cell before another set of stairs going deeper in, you see a familiar face.
  137. 02:54:06: <Paradox> Ellis is wrapped up in a thick blanket in the corner of her cell. Her long brown hair seems to have been shaved off, and there's a scar across her right cheek. She looks up at you as you cross her cell.
  138. 02:54:43: <wyl> "...Hey. Long time no see," Wyl jokes a little, quickly using RANDY on LOCK.
  139. 02:55:25: <DR_FLOYD> "...Vell, 'ello zhere." Floyd looks around the corridors, searching for other familiar faces... And sentries.
  140. 02:57:57: <Paradox> That was the last cell on the current floor, so there's not much to see in either category, Floyd.
  141. 02:58:05: <Paradox> "Oh ... Wyl."
  142. 02:58:18: <Paradox> She stands up and walks to the bars, limping a bit.
  143. 02:58:24: <Paradox> "You're alive."
  144. 02:59:08: wyl helps brace her a little, looking for injuries and treating what he can. A lot of this is probably stuff not healable by a simple medical jolt. "Yeah. I would've been here sooner, but..."
  145. 03:00:18: <DR_FLOYD> "...Ve vhere 'eld up. Is anyone else 'ere beside you?" Floyd says, his tone being really serious. "Zis place... Ze damn dittos, vhere did zhey took the other vorkers..."
  146. 03:02:10: <Paradox> "Somwhere hot. A desert place, I think, from the sound of it. That's where they build all these advanced automatons ... "
  147. 03:02:59: <Paradox> "That seems to be where their current leader is situated as well."
  148. 03:03:38: <wyl> "Well, the good news is, that's our next destination. For now... we need to get everyone out of this place."
  149. 03:04:35: <Paradox> "There's ... there's not many more here, Wyl."
  150. 03:05:04: <DR_FLOYD> "..." he lifts an eyebrow at that last comment. "As in..."
  151. 03:05:59: <Paradox> "Alex, Shell, Miss Flora, Doc Jones, Professor Blast ... I think that's all who's left downstairs... "
  152. 03:06:17: <Paradox> "And all our pokemon, too. And some other ones I didn't recognize."
  153. 03:08:13: <DR_FLOYD> "...Vell, for now, you should go to ze direction ve came from. Ve left two Pokémon vith ozher prisioners to guard zhem. Vait zhere und ve shall rescue Miss Flora und ze others."
  154. 03:08:50: <Paradox> "Oh. One last thing."
  155. 03:08:56: <wyl> "Yeah?"
  156. 03:09:10: <Paradox> "Ser Abelar and Ronald are here."
  157. 03:09:33: <Paradox> "Ser Abelar ... he's switched sides."
  158. 03:10:18: <wyl> "...I see," Wyl nods. "That's... well, that'll have to be dealt with if it comes down to it."
  159. 03:10:48: <Paradox> "You better deal with Ronald, at least."
  160. 03:10:50: <DR_FLOYD> "Ronald... I expected zis from 'im, but Ser Abelar... Ve shall... Do as necessary later, zhen."
  161. 03:10:58: <Paradox> "He's the one that's been .... "
  162. 03:11:13: <Paradox> She points to the scar on her face.
  163. 03:11:39: <Paradox> "And others have had much worse. All those poor wildlings ... "
  164. 03:11:49: <DR_FLOYD> "...Bastardé."
  165. 03:12:05: <wyl> "...I see. I always thought he was just a little cranky, but I guess it's time I put him in his place."
  166. 03:14:49: DR_FLOYD frowns as he goes to the place downstairs tha Ellis mentioned, waving at Wyl to follow him.
  167. 03:17:16: wyl is getting moving yes
  168. 03:18:10: <Paradox> You go down the stairs...
  169. 03:19:06: <Paradox> There's another similar corridor, running directly under the one above. It has the same layout; barred cells in the ice.
  170. 03:20:52: <Paradox> The cells here are all empty, though many of them have personal effects in them; blankets, clothes, waterskins. Obviously, a lot of people ONCE occupied these cells.
  171. 03:21:26: <Paradox> The last cell though, has shelves made of ice lining the walls. There's pokeballs on each shelf, in neat rows.
  172. 03:22:34: <Paradox> In front of each pokeball there's a small tag, naming the species and temperant; Serperior, Hostile. Lapras, Docile. Aerodactyl, Hostile. So on, so forth...
  173. 03:23:10: DR_FLOYD lifts an eyebrow when he notices the "Aerodactyl" ball and approaches it, grabbing and releasing whatever is inside.
  174. 03:23:22: <wyl> "...Well, that's quite convenient."
  175. 03:24:10: <Paradox> Out pops Quetzal!
  176. 03:24:13: <Paradox> Though he's frozen. :T
  177. 03:26:04: <wyl> 1d20+6 or is he
  178. 03:26:04: <DiceMaid-9001> Wyl, or is he: 17 [1d20=11]
  179. 03:26:17: <DR_FLOYD> "...Vell. I guess ze climate 'ere vould do zhat to a cold-blooded one."
  180. 03:26:25: wyl mediguns the aerodactyl for Floyd. No more frozen!
  181. 03:27:38: <Paradox> BEEP BEEP DOO DOO DOOOO
  182. 03:27:39: <DR_FLOYD> "Vell, zhat is a good vay to break ze ice, Vyl!"
  183. 03:30:01: <wyl> "You're welcome. Shall we leave the rest here and gather them on the way back up? It'll just be a pain if they get mixed up."
  184. 03:33:55: <DR_FLOYD> "Yes, i guess ve could 'ave Ellis follow us und take ze ones she owns though. In any case, vhere are ze other 'umans..."
  185. 03:35:26: <wyl> "Probably further down," Wyl does grab one or two that he knows belong to Shell due to fraternizing with rival guilds and there probably being none of Alex's here, and looks for a way down.
  186. 03:36:54: <Paradox> You go down to yet another similar looking corridor.
  187. 03:38:00: <DR_FLOYD> "You'd guess ze Dittos vould 'ave more originality designing zheir dungeons. Maybe zhey used it all to make zose terrible machines." Floyd steps down while Quetza rests on his shoulders.
  188. 03:40:17: <Paradox> The first few cells you walk past are completely filled with ice.
  189. 03:40:55: <Paradox> If you were to try, you could probably make out the shapes trapped within the ice, but you both have enough wisdom to know you probably don't want to.
  190. 03:41:47: wyl only kind of briefly looks but... yeah. His mood is getting progressively more worried with each empty cell... or full cell, for that matter.
  191. 03:43:27: <Paradox> Well, if you looked - you guessed it - more dead bodies! Looks like they're just throwing them in these cells and freezing them until they can do something with them.
  192. 03:44:21: <Paradox> Most of the cells here are empty, until you get nearly to the end.
  193. 03:45:07: <Paradox> Miss Flora and the Alchemist that you met Floyd through, Professor Blast, are sitting on the cell to your right. On the cell to your left is Alex.
  194. 03:46:58: DR_FLOYD goes to the right cell and says. "Hey, you guys okay?"
  195. 03:47:05: wyl opens some goddamn locks. ...and then practically jumps onto Alex in a hug of relief.
  196. 03:48:02: <Paradox> Alex is sporting an eyepatch, and looking pretty bruised. But he doesn't seem to mind the pouncehug, and returns a hug in kind. "Hey there, stranger."
  197. 03:49:14: <wyl> "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should have been here so much sooner..." Wyl's not really sounding like he's joking, like he had been before.
  198. 03:49:44: DR_FLOYD almost rolls his eyes at Wyl's display of affection on such a time, but can't help but smirk a bit. Ah, to be young.
  199. 03:50:49: <Paradox> Miss Flora stands up as Floyd approaches. "Yeah, just peachy."
  200. 03:52:15: <Paradox> "You have some sort of blunt intrument for me to bludgeon that bastard Ronald to death with, right?"
  201. 03:52:46: <Paradox> "Or ... or medical supplies ... my legs ..."
  202. 03:53:04: <Paradox> Professor Blast does indeed seem to be missing both legs. :T
  203. 03:54:17: <DR_FLOYD> "Vell... I could give you mine und ve could vork out vith one each."
  204. 03:54:28: <Paradox> Alex patpats Wyl, looking a bit confus. "Hey ... reality being re-arranged by an evil god-wannabe spirit is pretty much as good as an excuse as you can get ... "
  205. 03:54:55: <DR_FLOYD> "But i don't zhink zhat is possible. Can ze other of you guys carry 'im back to ze entrance? Ve got ze ozher prisoners vaiting."
  206. 03:56:31: <wyl> "That, and being turned to stone for a couple months, there've been a few delays yes," Wyl manages a bit of a chuckle, albeit a hollow one.
  207. 04:02:44: <Paradox> "Turned to stone?"
  208. 04:03:50: <Paradox> Alex whispers Wyl to something and then laughs. His isn't hollow at all!
  209. 04:04:31: <Paradox> "I'm not carrying gimpy anywhere. I wanna help beat that punk's face in," says Flora.
  210. 04:05:01: <Paradox> "Make Alex do it. He's in no shape to fight."
  211. 04:05:08: wyl laughs back about whatever has been whispered, and begins treatment of the prisoners in a much better mood.
  212. 04:06:46: DR_FLOYD sighs. "Vell, at least you guys should take your Pokéballs on zhat cell. It's quite fortunate to us zhat ze prison is not very manned."
  213. 04:07:59: <Paradox> Alex nods. "I'll get the Doc out of here, and look for Ellis."
  214. 04:08:17: <Paradox> "Shell ... Shell went off with Ronald a few hours ago."
  215. 04:08:43: <Paradox> Alex closes his eyes. "You should hurry and see if ... but I doubt it."
  216. 04:08:49: <DR_FLOYD> "Is 'e taking 'er for interrogation? Und... Torture?"
  217. 04:08:53: <wyl> "Ellis is up on the top floor of the prison, she'll be with Aqualung and the others we've rescued so far. And..." Wyl bites his lip. "I'll bring Shell back, don't worry."
  218. 04:10:08: <Paradox> "Alright. Good luck."
  219. 04:10:41: <Paradox> "I'll be waiting upstairs. You better come back up."
  220. 04:10:53: <Paradox> Alex hoists the professor over his shouler, and takes off.
  221. 04:13:09: DR_FLOYD looks at the prisoners as they head upstairs, then back at Wyl. "Vell, time to do a daring rescue, no?"
  222. 04:14:14: <wyl> Wyl watches Alex off, then turns to Floyd and Flora and nods. "Yup. Seems so."
  223. 04:16:55: <Paradox> "Through there then."
  224. 04:17:19: <Paradox> Flora breaks off a large icicle, and heads through the door at the end of the corridor.
  225. 04:18:10: wyl follows along
  226. 04:18:18: DR_FLOYD rushes through!
  227. 04:23:40: <Paradox> The three of you walk into, what is quite clearly, a torture chamber. To your left, there's shelves that hold numbers upon numbers of ghastly instruments whose uses you don't even want to think about.
  228. 04:23:43: <Paradox> To your right
  229. 04:24:53: <Paradox> The wall is lined with hanging cages. Most are empty, but a few have some people still within, in the fetal position. You can't tell if they're dead or alive from here.
  230. 04:24:59: <Paradox> In the middle of the room...
  231. 04:26:15: <DR_FLOYD> "Zut alors! Zis... Zis place is disgusting." Floyd can't help but scowl as he observes such disgusting contraptions! "Inhumane, i must say!"
  232. 04:28:22: <Paradox> There's an operating table. Shell's stripped corpse sits atop it. Several thin knives and needles protrude from his body. As you enter, the small pink blob on the table turns to look at you.
  233. 04:28:38: <Paradox> < Brother! You've come at last. >
  234. 04:29:48: wyl raises his bow at the blob.
  235. 04:29:59: <wyl> "Don't you -dare- call me that."
  236. 04:30:24: <Paradox> The blob jumps off the table, turning into Ronald as he hits the ground.
  237. 04:31:05: <Paradox> "So you've decided to take the path of folly? Well, that's a shame."
  238. 04:32:42: <wyl> "I'm a doctor, Ronald. Do you really think with what you've done here, I'd side with you? With any of you?"
  239. 04:33:16: <DR_FLOYD> "Vell, i'll be damned." Floyd glares at Ronald and taps on the ground as a blade protudes from his leg. "Don't vaste your breath, Vyl. 'e is a mad dog, and mad dogs need to be put down."
  240. 04:33:44: <Paradox> "But am I mad, Floyd? YES I FUCKING WELL AM MAD."
  241. 04:34:46: <DR_FLOYD> "You are only dead." Floyd points his finger at BlobRonald. "Quetza. End 'im."
  242. 04:34:50: <Paradox> "I toiled and slaved for your precious "Guild", filed all the paperwork PERFECTLY, and double checked ALL THE TAXES ... only to find out I wasn't .... "
  243. 04:35:15: <Paradox> "I wasn't even one of you. I was destined for something else."
  244. 04:35:29: wyl puts up a hand in front of Floyd for a moment, as though to stop him.
  245. 04:36:24: <Paradox> "You can try to ignore it Wyl ... but you won't be able to forever ... and besides, you're not really a doctor ... you murdered the doctor, just before I murdered the real Ronald. . ."
  246. 04:36:53: <DR_FLOYD> "Vait... You. You are... Abelar?"
  247. 04:36:57: <Paradox> "Will your friends side with YOU? After they figure out that you're an abomination? NO, THEY WON'T. You don't have a choice but to side with us if you wanna live! Hahaha!"
  248. 04:38:33: <Paradox> "Abelar? Pft! He serves me now! Just like I served him for so many years! At least I did not waste all those years serving a fool ... we send him to the Desert Base. He knows that if you humans wish to survive, you must submit to Urmaresheron."
  249. 04:39:24: <wyl> "..." Wyl bites his lip for a moment, looking for words. "Well, I'll go set him straight once I'm through with you."
  250. 04:40:25: <DR_FLOYD> "Also... Vhat does 'e mean by you not being a 'doctor', Vyl? ...About being an abomination?"
  251. 04:41:32: <Paradox> "Oh Doctor Floyd. .. I thought you were A FUCKING GENIUS. He's a goddamn DITTO just like ME. How fucking THICK are you? You've been working with a Ditto double-agent this entire time!"
  252. 04:42:04: <wyl> "..."
  253. 04:42:30: <DR_FLOYD> "...Is it true? Just deny it, Vyl, und i vill believe you... But tell me, is it?"
  254. 04:43:40: <wyl> "He's... mostly right, actually."
  255. 04:43:54: <DR_FLOYD> "You being a ditto or a double agent?"
  256. 04:44:12: <wyl> "Being a ditto. The double agent part is where he's got things wrong."
  257. 04:46:08: <DR_FLOYD> "...Vell, zat... Zat is..." Floyd stops for a couple of seconds, rummaging this incredible shift that just happened before him. "...It doesn't change nozink. You could 'ave killed me many times, my young friend, und yet you saved und 'elped us all zis time. I 'ave no reasons to doubt you."
  258. 04:46:08: <wyl> "I do not and will not ever side with Urmaresheron."
  259. 04:46:19: <Paradox> "Wrong. WrongwrongwrongwrongWRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG."
  260. 04:47:25: <Paradox> "You ARE a double agent. Just like me. Whether you like it or not. Whether you want it or not. Whether it makes your entire life a lie or not. You can't escape it, it is your destiny, it's what you were MADE for."
  261. 04:48:11: <wyl> "Well then? Fuck destiny."
  262. 04:48:15: <DR_FLOYD> "Vhat? Zhat 'e isn't a rabid maniac like you? Everyone can choose zheir paths, you pink piece of crap. It vere my choices, my mistakes, my successes, my errors that brought me 'ere, und it vas ze same to all of us."
  263. 04:50:52: <Paradox> Ronald starts sobbing. "No, it isn't like that. I didn't want to crash the Goldcloud. I didn't want to. BUT I HAD TO. It made me. This is the only way. Don't lie to me. DON'T LIE TO ME. He just... he just hasn't reached .. reach out to you yet. But you'll fear Urmaresheron's whisper in your ear ... and you'll kill all the ones that used to be your friends!"
  264. 04:51:22: <Paradox> Ronald's form ripples and shifts ...
  265. 04:51:44: <Paradox> and the transforms into 1,1</session>
  266. 04:52:01: <wyl> (Ahahahahaha)
  267. 04:52:37: <Tsvai> ( oh you jerk )
  268. 04:52:40: <Tsvai> ( <3)
