Team 1 Memo - Alex/Lyra/Tarane - Alchemy

SM: You guys here?
FF: Eeyup
UM: Yep
SM: Okay, I think I figured out something important
SM: You know those machines?
FF: Yeah?
UM: Yeah
SM: It turns out they're useful even after the meteor thing
SM: My stupid ghost thing didn't tell me much, but you're able to make things
SM: Like, take something from a captchalogue card and duplicate it
FF: Is this using the Punch Designix thingy?
SM: Yeah
FF: I kinda figured that out yesterday
FF: Didn't you say you didn't have one though?
SM: No, I found it
UM: Mine was behind my shed for some reason
UM: Maybe they hid it on accident
SM: Guess so
SM: Tarane, why didn't you tell us?
SM: This is pretty important
FF: Well, it was night time and I know you need your sleep
FF: And it was after the chat
SM: Tarane, I don't sleep.
SM: I'm pretty sure we've been over this
FF: Ok, your R&R
UM: What is wrong with you
UM: Sleep is amazing
FF: Mmhm. Sorry, I had some weird dreams last night
SM: S'fine
SM: But this stuff is IMPORTANT
FF: Ok, Ok, I Get It, Calm Down
SM: The haunted skeleton said it was my best shot for meeting up with you guys
UM: I thought he said your dick God was the problem
UM: Server. Whatever
SM: My game master is a major problem, yeah
SM: But this is a way around them
FF: In Other News, I have a code for 2m length of rope, which might be helpful for your Planet/Land/Thingy
FF: "RrRrRope"
SM: Oh wait, we can just share codes
SM: Huh
FF: I kinda understand how the Sylladex works now
FF: I have around 24 "cards"
FF: Well, 23, since I punched one
FF: I can't get some of the items out though, it won't let me
UM: Because of the punch?
FF: No, even the unpunched ones
FF: I only found out about my sylladex yesterday Alex
UM: How did you just find out?
UM: Mine has been a pain in the ass my entire life
SM: I like mine
FF: I use pockets. Pockets are great. And, y'know, hands to carry stuff
UM: Hitting me with shovels.. And bricks
SM: Why would you captchalogue a brick?
UM: To build stuff
UM: And because I'm bad at coordination sometimes
SM: We're getting off topic.  Alex, do YOU know how to do the item duplication thing?
UM: No
UM: That's why I was so quiet
FF: I'll let you take this one
UM: I had and have no idea what going on
SM: Well, that's what this memo was for, to spread out the info we've got
SM: You know those codes on the back of captchalogue cards?
UM: Yeah
UM: I just ignore them
SM: The punch designix, you put a captchalogue card into the slot then type in the code
SM: And it puts some holes in the card, like a hole puncher
UM: A blank card?
SM: Yeah
UM: Ok
SM: Then you put that card in the lathe, like during the meteor thing
SM: Which I'm thinking was supposed to be a tutorial more than anything
FF: Some tutorial
SM: And instead of making your coffin or my box, it'll make whatever item had the code
FF: If you fail you die by way of flaming rock ball
SM: You can't fail
SM: I beat mine by reading a book
UM: How do we know that?
SM: Because you can succeed by doing absolutely nothing
FF: So, wait, Alex got a Coffin that he couldn't do anything with, right?
SM: Yeah
FF: I got a Painting that I had to erase. Which makes perfect sense.
FF: Not
FF: What did you get?
SM: At least you did something.  Mine was a box
UM: Fucking scary as shit when you guys read and painted
UM: Bullshit
SM: I 'solved' it by reading a book
FF: You read a book to a box?
SM: No
SM: I just ignored the box and read the book
SM: The book doesn't really matter, I coulda solved it by doing anything
FF: ...
UM: I think I have claustrophobia now
SM: So anyway, that's how you copy things you've got
SM: I used it to make more captchalogue cards, so I could carry everything
FF: What other codes do you have?
FF: I got a useless one
UM: Wait how do you exploit this to copy stuff
FF: "RoseMary" for a grammar book
UM: Like make lots of cards
SM: Punch the code for the thing
SM: Then use it to carve a whole bunch of dowels
SM: You only need to punch it once
UM: Oh
UM: That makes sense
FF: Dowels? I'm guessing the Cylinder things?
SM: Yeah
UM: Still getting the hang of this shit
SM: It uses up your 'grist' though
SM: Which I think you get from killing the monsters
UM: Oh right, I just remembered I was about to murder some imps when you messaged me
SM: Imps
SM: Is that what they're called?
FF: Well, they're small irritating creatures
SM: But they don't have any wings or anything
SM: Or devil horns
SM: Or, I dunno, sewing needles for swords
FF: I guess that's true
SM: Imp works, I guess
SM: But yeah, kill the enemies to get grist to copy items
FF: Anything else happen during the night? Any other new discoveries?
SM: Well, I've got this ghost skeleton providing ghost skeleton advice
SM: It told me how to copy items, or at least the general steps
SM: Said that was how I'd get to you guys
FF: How did you get a ghost skeleton? Did you keep a skeleton in your closet or something?
SM: Nah, I found it
FF: What.
SM: I found it.
SM: In this tomb
SM: So I captchalogued the skeleton and the coffin lid
FF: Sounds like you had a crazy night
FF: All I did was explore a purple planet
FF: In my dreams
SM: ??
FF: Yeap
FF: Last night I dreamt of a purple planet
FF: And I could fly
SM: Hah!  I TOLD you that if I jumped off a bridge, I'd start flying!
FF: Flying to your death maybe, which would be an interesting experience
FF: Anyways, I was in some sort of tower, and saw 3 other towers, one of which was gray for some reason
FF: One of them was a girl who had an imp strapped to an examination table
SM: Cool!
FF: And the other had another girl, with alot of robots inside
FF: I felt so happy in the dream though!
UM: Just beat up the imps
FF: Basically: "Who cares if I'm in a gray world? There's a PURPLE PLANET there!"
SM: See, so now you can use that grist to make more stuff
UM: I haven't checked exactly how much, but at least 40
SM: Make yourself another shield or something
SM: So you have a backup
UM: Yeah
UM: I should check out my shield's code
UM: And what it's made of
UM: I don't really know anything about it now that I think of it
SM: Hey, if it's able to beat up imps, that's good enough
UM: Heh I guess
UM: Better than pens
SM: Oh shut up
SM: I made my first kill better than you did
UM: It was a potshot
UM: Er, scratch
FF: Meanwhile, I'll just shoot my imps
FF: Wait, I need to repair my string
FF: Thanks for reminding me
SM: You have a gun?
UM: No problem
UM: Bow, rigt?
FF: Eeyup
SM: Sounds dangerous
SM: Where do you live that you need to keep an actual weapon with you?
UM: I have a shield for some reason and don't live anywhere dangerous
UM: Other than the forest
FF: In the forest. Y'know, bears, wolves and stuff
SM: Oh
SM: Oh, wait a minute
UM: Hey we both live in the forest, nice
SM: Okay, here's what we do
SM: Can either of you guys captchalogue your strife deck?  Is that a thing you can do?
FF: What's a strife deck?
FF: Remember, I'm new to this stuff
UM: Like where my shield goes when I pick it up?
SM: Yeah
SM: Or the strife card for the shield
UM: I think that fell out when I pulled out the shield in the coffin
UM: I could recreate it
SM: That's what I was thinking
SM: I dunno about you guys, but I want a proper weapon
UM: I already have one
UM: But what kind do you want?
SM: I don't care, something that can actually get through the imps' shells
SM: Shield or bow
SM: A WEAPON
SM: For when stabbing something in the eye isn't an option
FF: Um
UM: I have some knives in my kitchen
UM: I could send you those
FF: So a strife specibus is a... weapon specialist card?
SM: Basically, yeah
FF: Does it have a certain colour?
SM: Knives'd help, but I don't think they'd be much better than my pens against the imps' shells
SM: Green
FF: Ah, so that's what the card with my Bow is
FF: Um, hang on
FF: Let me just deal with an abstract reality
UM: A what
FF: How much grist do you have?
SM: Who?
FF: Ms "I need a better weapon"
SM: Oh
SM: Zero
SM: I didn't have all that much in the first place, because I don't have a weapon to properly kill imps with!
FF: What made you choose pens, anyway?
SM: What do you mean?
FF: Why use pens as weapons?
FF: You probably can't make a weapon with 0 grist
SM: Probably not
SM: But the haunted skeleton won't tell me where to find more stuff to kill
FF: Just wander out or something
SM: Okay yeah, that'll probably work
SM: Can I get a code for a weapon first, so I know what to make once I have the grist?
FF: I can't actually do it right now, it's not letting me
FF: Don't ask why
FF: I don't even know
SM: Forget it, just gimme the code once I've got some grist to spare
SM: I gotta go kill some stuff
