- A foreword: YES, I have tried to use archive.org, but unfortunately Twitter's new UI and bizarre loading style made it impossible to really read.
- "Why do you even need to archive this, Fin?" Because I want people to really see evidence as it is. I'll never know for sure but @Sawtooth44 might delete his tweets or block the reader and you know what, one can never be too paranoid. I've changed around a couple of things, like removing the emoji @GaherisWhispers and I (@kaito_says) use to indicate our muses, and just stitching together all the multi-tweet replies. Otherwise, the text is entirely unmodified.
- Fair warning... this is stupidly long. I was really prodding into this guy to see if he'd improved from that ancient callout post.

- [ Calls the reader a whore, no miss. ]

- @Sawtooth44:
- *you find there is now 4 guns pointed at your head*
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- [ Innocent vacuum cleaner noises. ♥ ]
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- its not wise to insult a fire elemental, we can be VERY aggressive
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- ...your point, sweetie?
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *bang, the ground next to you explodes in a ball of plasma*
- that is a warning shot
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- not a very threatening show, unfortunately. and you didn't answer my question, elemental. what is your point?
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- i could have blown your head off, revived you, and done it again and again and again
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- ...
- [ Still, not amused. ]
- ...you do realize what you're telling that to, yeah?
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- no, i dont
- and im fairly sure you dont know what im fully capable of ether
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- now, this is just silly.
- if you're going to attempt anything cray—you WILL wish i was a greek god.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- if you think the greek gods would be a threat to me then i have nothing to worry about
- my god is older then any other god that was on this planet
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- it's not about the threat i pose.
- [ Kaito's whole form darkens, like their whole body is a stark shadow. ]
- it's about how spiteful i can get.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- neat trick, i can do that too
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- ...go.
- make your first shot!
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- [Change Fate - 4F]
- 4F: opening mental fortress in
- 3 *1st pic*
- 2 *2nd pic*
- 1 *3rd pic*
- *queue the room going dark and all you can see are fangs, the feeling of dread is intoxicating, for this is the Beast of Sawtooths homeland, The Root of All Evil,
- a demon known as The Fallen*
- (NOTE: THIS TWEET HAS PICTURES IN IT BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BOTHER PUTTING A SCREENSHOT OF THE IMAGES UP ON IMGUR.)
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- ufu!
- [ Seems like Sawtooth's disabled Kaito's inhibitions instead of scaring them shitless—The kid swings their arms, producing a marker in one hand, and drawing a
- glowing, hovering circle in the air, around their body. ]
- i wanna see you play now!
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *the light... dose not work for long, it takes seconds for it to disappear into the shadows, to speaks slowly, a voice that seems ancient and full of malice*
- ???: it is unwise to not know fear, fear keeps you mortals safe, safe from all thing I represent...
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- You idiot. You moron. You absolute buffoon.
- You fail to understand how much of a dumbass I am, and how I don't get why your scary.
- [ They puff their cheeks in faux-irritation at their light dissipating, not that establishing their territory hasn't really faltered. ]
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- i guess being an idiot has an advantage, being able to speak to who is effectively the opposite of what you call The Root
- even things like trees try to uproot them self to escape me
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- the Root has an opposite?
- huh. never thought of that...
- but you're just bragging at this point.
- [ Kaito twirls the pen in their hand, shaking out sparkles from it. They take it for a spin—literally—drawing pale circles around them that spread apart as a first
- move. ]
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *and the sparkles last a moment before the shadows eat them*
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- [ And by eating them, the shadows have fallen for the trap!—
- In a few seconds, they explode into puffs of colorful smoke, smoke that then dissipates into dust and falls to the ground. ]
- laaame. that all you can do?
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *and it all disappears into the shadows*
- ???: i have hardly came out of the stronghold in the jailers mind, an inch was opened and you can already do nothing to stop me doing anything i so desire
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- ...
- [ Well, the dust disappearing seems to be expected. ]
- You are wrong, dark one.
- there is something... capable of stopping you...
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- ???: and that is?
- please then, try enlighten an entire plane of existence of a way to defeat me who could only contain me inside a mental stronghold
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- very well. you asked for enlightenment.
- [ Kaito-124 smiles at the unknown entity, before raising their arm in the air. ]
- Activating template Lamplight District C.
- [ Vintage lampposts rise from the ground, followed by ornate infrastructure: temples, houses, mansions, gardens. All of it very real, very beautiful. A district built
- in minutes, that cannot be devoured by the darkness.
- This place—an embodiment of timeless lunacy, was formed not through a Reality Marble, nor the highest rank of Territory Creation, but something else, entirely
- of its own. Perhaps, the Authority of an unknown deity that far predates many pantheons. ]
- The law.
- this is the thing that can defeat you.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *and it begins to decay the world you create, while Laws are old but to challenge Evil the Law can not be corrupted... and the Law has been corrupted and
- abused in the past and future even the jailer of the demon is slightly corrupted, everything falls to The Fallen*
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- [ Just as it begins to decay, the gleaming Lamplight District repairs itself into its pure, ideal self, as beautiful as the stars, or the jewels adorning the Queen Mother of the West...
- No evil stands to the laws mandated by Heaven, the laws built and tailored to cleanse evil as they know it.
- Besides, purification... that is a part of their Authority, isn't it?
- Kaito takes a deep breath, and summons several turrets to shoot lasers at the opponent. These lasers are not mere beams, but rather holy light that serves to cleanse any being of sin. The attack is unavoidable, and ordinary mortals have been vaporized with them— ]
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *they strike... and do nothing*
- ???: just know you are only winning for only a tiny fraction of my power is released, the fortress gate is open a single cm
- if i where to be released your planet would fall in a single month, the counterforce would fall in the first week
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- you know, for an ultimate evil or something, you sure do have a really inflated ego. i'm not saying it's interfering with your reason, but, food for thought.
- ...not that you can digest it.
- if you're going to keep boasting, better show off more.
- [ They manifest their pickaxe, and give it a good spin, sending up several structures—fountains.
- The fountains begin spewing bright green water at strategic locations, prompting Kaito to put on their raincoat in a flash. ]
- listen. I don't believe in the threat you pose. at best, you're strong, and don't want to waste your energy on a miserable, puny mortal like i am.
- at worst, this is a stupid trick, and you're a bluffing coward boy entering this form because you don't want me hurting you.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- ???: on the contrary, i would love to tear the world apart but the jailer has only opened the gate a cm and i have no power over the jail im contained in and the
- only time the jail will undo is when the last of the jailers line dies out
- unfortunate that this one wont stay dead
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- ah... ahahaha!
- so you want to destroy the earth!
- that would make alaya call upon the grand servants, you know? if the counter force can't beat you, the grands can. don't get too confident.
- but you must be bored, yes? and you wish for retribution against me calling you a whore...
- [ Another fit of laughter. ]
- then, fight me with the courage to destroy the world.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- ???: oh you dident call me a whore, you called one of my jailers one, fantastic spike of energy you gave me
- and the grand servants? dead on the 2nd week, ive seen there power and its still nothing in comparison, even the beasts of gaia are nothing to me
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- you wouldn't know of your true scope of abilities unless you try combatting me with a little bit more power.
- —or at the very least, allowing that jailer to engage in battle with me.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- ???: oh the jailer is not keeping me in here, the jail is, the jailers all suffer from one form of corruption of creatures of the night, if they could resist it then i would not be here
- besides i dont need to test my skills, for nothing can end me
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- if you insist.
- but, if i may ask... if you are so powerful, how come you're trapped here? shouldn't you have been able to break out, of your own will? i'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but... think about it.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- ???: from the world im from there are many systems of magic, god like technology and impossible materials to create a prison
- but rather then diminish its strength or be additive, it multiplied and then the spell to keep me contained used every magic system and enhancement they could
- muster, all specified on sealing me inside since they could not kill me
- and this is what you have, the perfect prison
- and im not the first to suffer this fate, but i am the first to be sealed by a mortal race since there gods could not
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- ...
- your world's gods couldn't contain you, nor were they able to kill you, but i... am different from those gods!
- [ Bit by bit, the world cracks around them, like a window to the sky.
- Kaito's body collapses within itself into a gigantic, humanoid black hole, and begins to absorb the darkness around itself to flake away the appearance of the barrier between Heaven and Earth—along with it, the Fallen. Kaito has become certain death and purification, ripping apart the entity and absorbing it into their body. Its fragments spill into the deepest section of the Underworld, with purifying torture implements in store—
- All of The Fallen, ALL OF IT, not just the exposed section, consumed.
- And with that, Kaito shrinks back to their tiny size, and yawns. ]
- ...ᴘᴏʏᴏ.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *and the fallen remains*
- ???: nice try
- i know how to kill me and you wont be able to do it
- for you would have to kill... everything, even yourself
- for all creatures have need of a certain amount of evil
- my jailer has seen someone that was stripped of evil, they where in a coma
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- [ Kaito doesn't hear anything, and is already going off to eat croquettes. The Fallen is already dead.
- Besides, the reason something like a Beast is defeatable is because it is born from a human concept such as Evil.
- No matter which world The Fallen originates, it is a manifestation of Evil, so in a world where Evil is a concept, it can be defeated by something capable of defeated evil.
- Somewhere in the depths of the underworld, amidst all the torture machines, The Fallen gets a croquette tossed at its face. ]
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *and yet... its not there, this is the thing about primordial gods... they are as powerful as the amount they represent in the universe, you cant purify it unless you purify everything else which leads to creatures losing there will to live*
- *besides its the underworld... merely another domain of its power, why would it be trapped there, and so it stays trapped inside the mental stronghold of Sawtooth*
- Shana: you know... if i did not drag the fallen back in you would have killed us all
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- [A young man steps in from the shadows, brown coat billowing behind him. He looks annoyed, as if this issue was something below him.]
- "Bothersome."
- [He sighs.]
- "I thought I sensed a foreign entity." Yanluo mutters. "Really, though, this is more Chujiang's expertise..."
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *oh the foreign entity is still here... its the girl with red hair... its just not something like an outer god... just someone that changed universe*
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- "You, there. Woman."
- [He stares at her with a critical eye, one that demands nothing but utmost truth.]
- "What brings you here to Diyu, the domain of us Kings and nobody else? And, tell me, why do you smell like flames?"
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- dont you mean what brings YOU here to Chaldea?
- because last i checked, Antarctica was still frozen
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- [Delusional, no doubt about it. He should be more delicate around this woman.]
- "I am Yanluo Wang, King of Diyu, and investigator of unusual phenomena. Did you think I couldn't do a trick as simple as this?"
- [He eyes her, deeply unimpressed.]
- "How... cute."
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *just points at a window and its just*
- i cant leave here unless someone rayshifts to somewhere else and even then, i cant leave lost belts or singularitys in my normal way
- (NOTE: This one has it's own picture, it's just that Antarctica pic/background from FGO.)
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- "Right. So a mortal being. No power."
- [He doesn't look phased by this. In fact, it only cements his suspicions that this one isn't reasonable.]
- "Don't suppose you know of someone who can actually... oh, I don't know, claim to be the ruler of the underworld?"
- [He's hoping to find the one claiming that it rules over the underworld he resides in.]
- "Otherwise, you're completely insignificant to me and my investigation."
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- PFFT ME? A NORMAL MORTAL BEING AHAHA!
- im the closest mortal can be to being immortal
- and nope, the thing you where feeling was not the ruler of the underworld... just the end of all things
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- [Yes. Delusional. This woman is definitely delusional.]
- "Right, well, I'm not a psychologist. You may want to visit one."
- [He cautiously walks over to her.]
- "So you know the creature that Taishan sent to the underworld? I have a couple of things to ask of its... guardian?"
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- you mean tried to send
- because if he did that we would all be dead
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- "So it really was you."
- [He holds out his hand as a flock of butterflies float from his coat and form papers within his hand.]
- "Because, really, how stupid do you have to be to think you could upturn Diyu?! Do you know how systematic it is?! 'Destroy the world' my ass!! We don't even have enough of a budget to deal with Taishan's food intake!"
- [He forcefully shoves the papers to her hands, not taking no for an answer.]
- "Do you live under a rock?! Or do you just assume that the underworld is just one whole collective entity?! I bet you think that all of them are just the same, don't you?!"
- [His hair whips around as he starts ranting.]
- "Diyu acknowledges foreign rule but that doesn't mean it has dominion over it until the kings allow said dominion. It's an almost-completely manmade system!"
- "And don't even get me started on 'underworlds are evil'. Mortal as us Kings are, we have duties and responsibilities! Even the blackest of souls get filtered, fit for reincarnation, no matter how long it takes to do so! Redemption is something to be achieved, not given! Just because Christian Hell exists as a cesspool of evil, doesn't mean every other underworld lives by those same set of rules!"
- [He glares at her.]
- "I would dismantle you here right now, if it didn't mean granting you access to Diyu."
- [He's clutching his head in pain and hopes that this asinine issue would resolve itself.]
- "I think it would just give me a stomachache if i did..."
- [He sends a white butterfly to fetch Taishan (@kaito_says) for some... clarifications. Desk work and whatnot, as long as he's here for it.]
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- [ Kaito/Taishan runs back in, holding a paper bag full of croquettes, and eating one of them too. ]
- yeah? uh... what is it?
- [ They've learned not to question why Yanluo is here. ]
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *the paper kind of ignites in her hands*
- oh i know there is, people keep mistaking my homeland for hell
- but what it is claiming domain over is not evil, its the end, underworlds are an end, a land of the dead
- and its not like your paperwork means anything it had domain over it before you existed
- my god may have been the first worshipped by humans but it was there before that time
- you are new generation gods, for you have names
- the primordial ones answer to none for you use there power
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- "How ignorant."
- [The butterflies reform from the flames.]
- "Diyu isn't a land of endings, but one of second chances."
- [They slap themselves over Shana's face, binding to her skin. It's very undignified. They refuse to budge.]
- "And we are... Taishan, handle this."
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- r-right.
- last time i checked, Authorities stem from The Root, not something about primordial gods—gods being born of human concepts.
- yanluo-sama and i, are human. or WERE human. we saw a filtered glimpse and learned how to change reality, to administrate humans. we are not divine spirits,
- but humans who have ascended into living... somethings...
- [ They haven't captured the correct word, but the essence of the statement exists. ]
- we're on the same level as the gods of rome, or greece, or mesoamerica, but we don't have a fancy origin.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *she then speaks 3 words*
- [Partum Yin Exitum]
- *and black fire burns her face off removing the marks, this was not fire, it was pure destruction in the form of it*
- [Partum Yang Sano]
- *and with those words white flame encased her face* but again not natural fire, but creation in the form of fire, and when the fire disappeared the marks are
- gone, utterly gone*
- i dont know what universe your from or what laws that govern it
- and i dont care for it
- just dont do something stupid like try to release it
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- [The butterflies fade back into existence, completely unaffected by the lightshow. Yanluo laughs amused by the futile display.]
- "You know, those butterflies are things I, myself, cultivated. They're designed to live off on Justice."
- [One of them flock around him flutters over to his outstretched palm.]
- "As long as humanity and, well, 'Good' exists, you're not getting rid of them that easily. My butterflies will hunt you down and annoy you until you do what you're told."
- [He crushes one in his palm. Yanluo softens as he unfolds a cigarette where the butterfly once was.]
- "You really shouldn't run away from rules of the places you visit, Lady Shana. It's a foolish thing to believe you're above the laws that govern reality itself. Only a stupid creature believes they know how the world works."
- [He lights the cigarette and takes a deep breath, calming his nerves.]
- "From my experience, those who refuse to obey rules are those who are powerless when they're in place. Do you mean to tell me that you're afraid of being powerless?"
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- [ No words. They just eat their croquettes, staring at Shana.
- They're also trying not to laugh their ass off at Yanluo's agitation. ]
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *and yet they dont come back, they might come back off her but not on her, she has effectively burned there existence on her face*
- you mistake me
- im not it
- i am fire
- fire is neither good or evil
- i am an extension of a universal law
- so sit your ass down, i have a job to do
- ---------
- @GaherisWhispers:
- "Excuses, excuses."
- [He lets out a puff of smoke.]
- "What are you doing here, with insignificant mortals, if your job is so important? Even Taishan does a better job than you."
- "Let's face it, miss. You're a coward of the highest degree. Afraid to commit to this world because you're nothing without the power you believe you hold."
- "You will never be anything more than what you confine yourself to, epitome of fire and flames. The moment you confront your opposite, you'll crumble without a second thought. You claim to do an important job but all I see is a foolish child who thinks parading their power earns them the respect of those who surround them."
- [He takes another drag and sighs.]
- "You can never understand if you don't try to understand. Seems to me that you only want to be adored, nothing more."
- [ He stares at her with disdain.]
- "So, sorry, if i don't bow to your will. I find your existence nothing but an annoyance that wants to be known for the sake of being known."
- [He throws the cigarette down and crushes it.]
- "It's pathetic."
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- my job as follows
- stop the abuse and reckless use of fire, if i must travel to another universe then so be it
- and no shit sherlock, if i faced my counterpart element i would crumble
- a child? i dont remember how long ive been alive
- being known? pfft, causes more problems
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- [ Deep breath.
- They pull out a massive pressure hose from their sleeves, and blast Shana with a torrent of water. Yanluo may recognize it from Wuguan's court. ]
- end conversation.
- ---------
- @Sawtooth44:
- *you just strait up murder her... but she dose not end up in Diyu where you expected, but in one of the layers of hell*
- ---------
- @kaito_says:
- [ Nobody fucking cares. ]
