DM
\-==START==-/
You two enter each other's handles.
Lavira's screen blacks out, and then closes.
* plushRoyalty began pestering callousCrafswoman
DM
Plutia's, on the other hand, shifts to show an image of Lavira in her room.
plushRoyalty
PR: |VV| Dearest Lavira, it seems that I am able to see from this game SCratch thine own room. Or at least some copy of it
callousCraftswoman
CC: Really now? -}--
plushRoyalty
PR: |VV| In fact they are quite accurate to making a model of thineself
plushRoyalty
PR |VV|: I would even say it is real, let me see here~
Plutia looks at the menus and clicks one
DM
Which one exactly do you click? DM
Your options are move, revise, deploy, phernalia registry, grist cache, athenium, and alchemize
plushRoyalty
Plutia clicks on deploy
callousCraftswoman
CC: I honestly don't know exactly what is happening, aside from a gargantuan meteor which is barreling toward me house -}--
plushRoyalty
PR: |VV| You tw- ...wave thine arms
callousCraftswoman
I follow Plutia's small demand and wave my arms
DM
Plutia sees Lavira waving her arms. She's not looking in the right direction, though.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| Oh wonderful, I am viewing thy truly.
callousCraftswoman
CC: Interesting. -}--
CC: Very interesting, to say the least. -}--
DM
You click on Deploy, and four machines plus a capatcha card pop up for deployment. The machines include the Alchemieter, Cruxtruder, Totem Lathe, and the Punch Designix. Everything is free except for the Punch Designix.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| Now if the holy booklet is correction, SCratch shall save thy from the coming doom
PR |VV| So let us get right to our dutiful middle finger of fate.
callousCraftswoman
CC: I hoped that was the case. -}--
CC: I'm ready to perform whatever tasks are required of me. -}--
plushRoyalty
Plutia deploys the alchemeiter first, right in her room
DM
It fits in the room, but barely.
Lavira, roll Acrobatics to dodge out of the way.

You dive out of the way, as the alchemieter falls where you were standing a few seconds before.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV|: I do not have the current knowledge. I am deploying machinery in your hive
plushRoyalty
Plutia looks elsewhere to put the other machines
plushRoyalty
Plutia deploys the CRUXTRUDER in her living room?
DM
There are a few rooms, but the living room and training area strike you as the most convenient places to place stuff.
plushRoyalty
She deploys the CRUXTRUDER in the living room
DM
You deploy the Cruxtruder in the living room. It falls with a loud thud.
callousCraftswoman
CC: Plutia, please be careful not to destroy my hive or me in the process of deploying these strange devices. -}--
DM
You *might* be able to fit the Totem Lathe, but it would be a stretch.
plushRoyalty
PR: |VV| I will do my utmost to not do so, I am deploying two other machines in thy training room and thy living room.
Plutia deploys the totem lathe in the training room
DM
The training area is outside, but you do so anyway.
It falls softly in the training area. Immediately, the training machines react and fire a few knives at it, the knives embedding themselves in the machine.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| My I hope that does not damage it.
callousCraftswoman
CC: What happened? -}--
plushRoyalty
PR |VV|: Thine sparring room flung daggers at thy poor machine.
callousCraftswoman
CC: Strange. -}-- They should be deactivated and without power. -}--
plushRoyalty
PR |VV|: I am unsure as to which must be interacted upon foremost, but the lathe seems to require some object.
callousCraftswoman
I attempt to decaptchalogue my suitcase, which contains my mobile computing device
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| So that leaves the two devices inside thy room and thy living room, please chooseth quickly.
callousCraftswoman
CC: I'll begin shortly
DM
The foundation of your house shakes as three meteors land in quick succession outside.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| Do hurry.
callousCraftswoman
CC: I will
since my suitcase is the only item in my inventory I decaptchalogue it either way
I retrieve my mobile device from it
with it in hand, I investigate the alchemiter in my room
DM
You successfully decaptchalogue your suitcase. You now have approximately jack shit in your inventory.
There seems to be a large platform, and a smaller one to the side. There's also a button on the side.
callousCraftswoman
huh. It appears there's nothing to do with it at the moment, judging from the lack of anything but a button
I make my way to the living room and examine the other device placed there
DM
It's a tube shaped thing with a block base. There's a wheel on it that you can turn, and the top seems to be about to burst open.
callousCraftswoman
huh
I attempt to turn the wheel
DM
Roll Athletics

Instead of turning the wheel, you somehow manage to do a full 360 while holding onto the wheel, falling on your head for 1 damage.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| Do you require assistance?
callousCraftswoman
CC: Perhaps -}--
CC: I'll attempt to force the device to open -}--
I jam my blade under the lid, if possible, and attempt to force it to pop off
DM
Roll Athletics once more, but with +1 because physics.
callousCraftswoman

Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+1) [14+1] : {15}
DM
You successfully pry open the lid of the cruxtruder. The first thing to pop out is a ghostly flashing blue orb that looks like a spirograph, and then a metric ton of teal-colored cylinders come flying out of it. You are now buried fuck deep in a pile of teal cylinders.
callousCraftswoman
ugh.
Not what I was hoping for
but still a result either way
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| That is quite the flashy spherical object
callousCraftswoman
I pick up one of the strange cylinders and call for Farron
I'll need his help in cleaning
"Farron! We've got a big mess in the living room!"
DM
The seizure orb seems... pleased by this compliment? Can seizure orbs even look pleased? Who knows.
Farron comes running, eagerly picking up some of the cylinders and taking them outside to who-knows-where.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| Where does Farron take those things?
callousCraftswoman
CC: I imagine he takes them and buries them like he does other forms of waste. -}--
I make my way to the training arena to examine the other device I've yet to see
DM
As you get to the training area, you see the lever controlling the traps being turned off and on erratically, a green mist surrounding it.
The Totem Lathe is right in the middle of everything.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| Should I do something with this spherical object?
callousCraftswoman
oh for fuck's sake is that crazy dog-headed bastard doing this?
no matter
DM
The lever hesitates for a second before continuing flipping, as to say "yes."
*as if

I dash towards the other end of the arena to shut everything off

You don't do a very good job of deflecting the projectiles, but you make up with it with your acrobatic ability, dodging everything, and culminating in a sideways flip that ends with you flipping the switch as you come down/
The green mist seems kind of annoyed, buzzing around your head akin to a swarm of bees, but less... sting-y
callousCraftswoman
"Oh, would you kindly just piss off? I have an important task at hand?"
DM
The mist goes flying off in another direction.
callousCraftswoman
"thank you"
I make my way to the totem lathe and examine it
DM

There seems to be a place where you could put the cylinder, but there's also a slot that you could put something in.
callousCraftswoman
CC: Dear Plutia, is there any item you have access to that could maybe fit into this small slot I've discovered on the totem lathe?

Plutia pokes the kernal with her cursor

You don't manage to make contact.
plushRoyalty
Plutia looks for anything else she can deploy
DM
There is the capatcha card mentioned earlier
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| Ah yes, I am verily sorry but I do have one more gift for you.
callousCraftswoman
CC: Thank you dearly, Plutia. -}--
plushRoyalty
Plutia puts the capatcha card in Lavira's hand
PR |VV| Should I do something with the spherical orb? It seems to shy away from mine cursor
DM
You now have a capatcha card in your hand.
callousCraftswoman
I insert the totem and captchalogue cards into their respective locations on the device and pull/press the lever/button that must surely be somewhere on the device
DM
You do so, and the machine starts carving the cylinder.
However
callousCraftswoman
CC: I don't know exactly what to do with the strange orb. -}-- Perhaps it might accept an offering of sorts? -}--
DM
There is a weird scraping noise, and about half of the cylinder is uncarved.
callousCraftswoman
Oh for fuck's sake

plushRoyalty
PV |VV| Do you have anything that would suffice? Perhaps an idol?
callousCraftswoman
CC: I have various sculptures -}--
plushRoyalty
Plutia goes and looks for a sculpture
callousCraftswoman
CC: Also, the device you placed in the arena has malfunctioned -}--
CC: Is it possible to place another one? -}--
DM
The temperature rises a few degrees.
callousCraftswoman
time is not on my side, so I run to the living room to grab another cylinder and immediately return to the arena
DM
Plutia finds various sculptures.
Lavira does so without incident.
However
As you do so, you notice something
The Cruxtruder has started displaying a timer
4:37
callousCraftswoman
well, shit
I have an approximation of how much time I have left
but I also have very little
DM
This is punctuated by the change to 4:20
plushRoyalty
Plutia selects a random sculpture
callousCraftswoman
CC: Plutia, dear, please place down another totem-carving device in the training arena -}--
DM
Plutia picks up a sculpture of dear, dear Farron

Plutia tries to put it into the seizure sphere

DM
You manage to chuck the sculpture of Farron into the seizure orb.
There is a bright flash, and the misshapen face of a wolf now displays in the center of the orb.
You cannot place another.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| I have news. I put a stature of farron inside of the sphere, bad news. I cannot place another carver. We will need to repair the current one
callousCraftswoman

You remove most of the knives. Hopefully, this will be functional now.
3:30
The temperature rises a few more degrees.
callousCraftswoman
I remove the half-carved cylinder and insert the new one
and I activate the device
DM
It carves, this time completely.
Success.
callousCraftswoman
I grab the carved cylinder
I'm guessing something of this size would be related to the smaller platform on the alchemy device in my room
so I make my way to my room and place the carved cylinder on said smaller platform
DM
You do so. You feel a sense of accomplishment.
plushRoyalty
PV |VV| Wonderful work Lavira! I applaud you
callousCraftswoman
CC: My thanks, princess. -}--
DM
Do you press the button?
callousCraftswoman
Oh! I forgot about that small, seemingly useless button
I press it, then lean out the nearby window and call for Farron
DM
3:00
callousCraftswoman
"Farron! are you done disposing of the cylinders?"
DM
Farron comes running up.
callousCraftswoman
"Great! Stay inside now!"
DM
The seizuresprite, now with a disfigured wolf head in the center, also pokes his head through the wall.
The alchemiter scans the cylinder, and then with a flash of light, a blue book appears on the large platform.
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| A book?
callousCraftswoman
CC: It appears so. -}--
I go and grab the book
I scan the front and back covers before opening it
DM
It has a picture of a world with four spires extending from it on the outside. There's a large space at the top of the world where you could put a thing or two, apparently. The back cover is blank.
You then open it
It appears to be a sticker book. In the very back of the book is a sticker of you.
callousCraftswoman
oh, how adorable
I take my sticker replica and place it on the empty space on the book's cover
plushRoyalty
PR |VV|: I do adore it! Please it must be completed!
DM
You do so. It appears there is space for one more.
2:34
callousCraftswoman
I scan the book for any more stickers
DM
There are stickers of literally everything in there.
callousCraftswoman
huh
DM
2:27
callousCraftswoman
I examine the outline of the blank space on the cover and search for any sticker with the same outline
DM
2:22
There's no outline. It appears you can put anything you want there.
2:19
callousCraftswoman
huh
DM
2:17
callousCraftswoman
I look for a sticker of dear Farron
How I would love to have him at my side on this book
DM
You find one, but the moment you touch it, it turns into a full blue crystal wolf, and runs out of the room.
callousCraftswoman
wait, what!?
DM
2:08
plushRoyalty
PR |VV| My goodness!
callousCraftswoman
"Farron, you stay here! I must make chase!"
I dash after the wolf
DM
Both Farron and Seizure Farron look surprised
plushRoyalty
Plutia zooms into the book to check out the stickers

The wolf seems to have gone into the training room, where...
oh no
it's back on.

Do you make chase, or tend to real farron's wounds?
callousCraftswoman
Farron is a durable lusus

You chase after Crystal!Farron, who seems to have gone outside.
He seems to have found some cylinders somewhere.

callousCraftswoman
oh! perhaps this is a strange ritual of fetch?
DM
Once he's far enough away, he stops, and looks at you expectantly.
1:16
callousCraftswoman
I throw the cylinder towards the crystal wolf
DM
He catches it in his mouth, and then runs to you and drops it at your feet.
You see the meteor descending upon your house. There's only about a minute let.
