- CURRENT canidaePsionic [CCP] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
- CCP: and then everyone exploded
- CCP: 
- ?AO: It appears not.
- CFC: I keep charging over ledges
- CAC: Alright...
- ?AO: The narrator finds it hilarious in this silence that you have more trouble talking to somebody than committing mass-gem-shard-murder.
- CAU: well i'm going to be off to play overwatch but heh heh heh
- CAU: >You should probably turn the lights back on.
- CUC: >"I can tell you're not doing that well. Really, do you need anything?"
- ?AO: Topaz looks over to you. "... I... water would be nic... nice?"
- CCA: ((this fuckin skyblock magic progression))
- CCA: ((you gotta do all the mods simultaneously))
- CAC: >Give her a glass of water
- CUC: >find some water for her. No contaminants.
- ?AO: You've got several non-poisoned bottles of water.
- CUC: >Give her a bottle of water.
- CTG: (( UC: read my terraria attack if you can. i know i dont post often but I'm really proud of this ))
- CUC: ((can do))
- CUC: ((oh, right, should dop.))
- ?AO: You give a bottle to her. Topaz accepts it, and just sort of sits there, slowly sipping it.
- ?AO: Now what?
- CUC: ((OH MY GOD.))
- CUC: (( O H M Y G O D . ))
- CUC: ((JOAJE))

- CUC: >Check with Strangelove?
- CCP: ((enjoy my massive wall of DOG, crystal))
- ?AO: The drone bobs up and down in midair slightly. "CONDITIONS ARE NOT OPTIMAL, WITH THIS LARGE FOREST ABOUT US. I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD REMAIN PRESENT HERE FOR SOME TIME, BEFORE DEPARTING ONCE MORE. THE PATIENT WOULD ASSUREDLY PREFER HUMAN CONTACT OVER TALKING TO AN ARMED ROBOT."
- CTG: 
- CTG: O O O
- CTG ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: "OF COURSE, IT IS NOT MY DECISION."
- CAC: >Yeah, stay
- CTT: "There's no way around it you're going to have to decapitate me"
- ?AO: You choose to remain on the ship, for about twenty minutes, with Topaz.
- ?AO: You've got that time now. What shall you spend it doing?
- CAC: Hmm.
- CTG ceased responding to memo.
- CAC: >Check inventory

- CAC: >Toss one plasma rifle to Cyan, keep one for yourself, toss rest on ship
- CAC: Maybe an inventory pastebin?
- CTT: >request to be decapitated
- CAC: >no
- ?AO: Perchance. The narrator will seriously consider it.
- ?AO: Also, no.
- ?AO: You now have 33 plasma rifles. Two on yourselves, one on Strangelove, and thirty in the ship.
- CAC: God...
- ?AO: These things had better sell well.
- CAC: Didn't we sell the access cubes?
- CCP: ((And then they turn out to be utter trash))
- ?AO: I don't think so.
- ?AO: Didn't I talk you out of it?
- CAC: No?
- CAC: Whatever.
- ?AO: ((I'll take them out.))
- ?AO: ((There.))
- CAC: >Exame meteoric iron
- CAC: Examine
- ?AO: You look at the hunks of meteoric iron. They appear to be mostly siderite-esque metallic structures, on par with hypercondensed arcanium.
- CAC: >Consider their uses
- ?AO: Weapons, ship plating, and possible ritual use, if ground down.
- CAC: Hmm.
- CAC: >Check on Delta
- ?AO: You hack into the webcam again.
- ?AO: You immediately see something horrific.
- CCP: ((blame fnaf)
- CAC: what
- ?AO: Delta appears to be staring straight into the webcam, inches away from it. The orchid and lime smoke pouring from his eye sockets is quite horrendous in sight.
- CTT ceased responding to memo.
- CAC: Welp.
- CAC: >Put tape over your webcam
- ?AO: You put tape over your webcam successfully.
- ?AO: You hear the sound of a torn mixture of a scream, a shout, and a laugh, moments before the video chat is cut off from the other end.
- CUC: Welp.
- CUC: SOMETHING horrible happened to Delta.
- CAC: Hmm.
- ?AO: Oh Cyan, what hath thou wrought?
- CAC: >Ask strangelove if he's learnt anything from the ashen serum
- ?AO: ((Apologies, I was momentarily preoccupied.))
- ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: Strangelove's lights blink strangely for a moment. "FURTHER SCANS HAVE SHOWN THIS IS ASSUREDLY SOME SORT OF ARCANE ILLNESS EXACERBATED BY THE CHIP IN THE PATIENT'S GEM."
- ?AO: "REPAIRING THE GEM WOULD LIKELY BE HIGHLY BENEFICIAL TO HER RECOVERY."
- CAC: >"Uh.. something wrong with your lights?"
- ?AO: "IT WAS NOTHING, I ASSURE YOU."
- CAC: Hmm.
- ?AO: "I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE YOU TO RECALL THE FATES OF THOSE ASHEN BEASTS BENEATH THE EARTH, REGARDLESS."
- ?AO: "HURRYING WOULD LIKELY BE BENEFICIAL."
- ?AO: "UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU ARE INTO BEING MAULED BY TWISTED ONCE-HUMANS."
- CAC: >Ask if he knows anything about Delta's... conditon?
- ?AO: Strangelove contemplates it for a moment, before swiveling to face Cyan. "YOU CERTAINLY DID A NUMBER ON HIM, MASTER AMARANTHINE. BRAIN DAMAGE IS QUITE THE FEAT."
- ?AO: Cyan's eyes widen. "I... did that? To a person? Fuck. Oh god."
- ?AO: Cyan proceeds to look back over to you. "I'm so sorry, again."
- CAC: Dammit Strangelove.
- ?AO: Casual logic, with an indifference to emotion.
- CAC: "You don't have to apologize, it wasn't intentional."
- CAC: >Ask Strangelove how brain damage can cause...that
- CAC: >Also, what exactly is that
- ?AO: Cyan frowns a bit, looking away from you. "That's just as bad."
- ?AO: "SYMPTOMS HAVE NOT YET BEEN FULLY IDENTIFIED."
- ?AO: "FURTHER EVIDENCE WILL NEED TO BE PROVIDED, OF BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE OCCURRENCE."
- CAC: Hmm.
- CAC: I suddenly feel suspicious.
- ?AO: Now, why would you feel that? Why would you do this to the great and lovable Strangelove?
- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CAC: ...the lights, mainly.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: >"Alright."
- ?AO: "PLEASE PRESENT EVIDENCE."
- CAC: Hmmmmmm
- CAC: >Check if he's been hacked or something
- CCP: ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_kEKW_lL5k))
- ?AO: With your considerable computer skills, you identify that Strangelove's current mode of operation is fully within the parameters you set upon his construction. No hacking has occurred this day.
- CAC: This day?
- ?AO: This year, this existence, and so forth.
- CAC: Well... alright.
- CAC: >Give him some video from previous chats, not the last one
- ?AO: "I SEE. THIS IS AN ENTIRELY NORMAL HUMAN BEING. WHAT IS THE IMMEDIATE REACTION OF THE BEING IN QUESTION TO QUERIES IN THE PRESENT, EXACTLY, THEN?"
- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: >Hack open audio chat with Delta?
- CAC: >Ask Cyan to not talk
- ?AO: You can just text him, if you want.
- CAC: Ah.
- ?AO: Either works, though.
- CUC: >Text him.
- ?AO: What shall you say?
- CAC: >"What's up?"
- CAC: I guess.
- CTT ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: "you. you did this to me."
- CUC: ((OH SHIT WRONG COLOR))
- CUC: ((I THINK))
- ?AO: ((The color is entirely intentional.))
- CUC: ((I know.))
- ?AO: What shall it be, now?
- CUC: ((I mean that even his color changed, so whatever happened is bad.))
- ?AO: ((Ah.))
- CUC: >Show Strangelove.
- ?AO: "THAT APPEARS TO MERELY BE A CHANGE OF CAPITALIZATION. I AM GOING TO NEED MORE THAN THAT FOR AN ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS."
- CAC: >"Uh... what did I do to you?"
- CUC: >Continue conversing? ^
- ?AO: "you."
- ?AO: "created me."
- CUC: ((OH MY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT.
- CUC: >"Created... you?"
- CCP: ((oh noes, his sanity fell into da toxic waste))
- ?AO: "burned me into this half of a destroyed realm."
- CUC: ((I think I know what this is.))
- ?AO: "why."
- CCP: (("cout will now reconvene" - Ace Attroney: Apollo Justice, 2008))
- CAC: What is it?
- ?AO: Why don't you ask your fellows before you head for the robot doctor?
- CAC: I was.
- ?AO: I see.
- CUC: ((I think it's a split. Maybe?))
- CAC: Hmm.
- ?AO: A split is a term from a fictional series of forum games. That's nonsense.
- CURRENT temporaryTechnology [CTT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
- CTT: Ha
- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CAC: >Ask Strangelove
- ?AO: "AH, YES. THIS IS QUITE CLEARLY EVIDENCE OF A SHOCK TO THE FRONTAL LOBE."
- CCP: ((*continues to blame fnaf*))
- CTT: Kek
- CAC: >"So...what's wrong with him?"
- ?AO: "AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, MISS AMARANTHINE HAS FRAGMENTED THE COLLECTION OF MEMORIES ASSOCIATED WITH PERSONALITY."
- CCA: ((so basically a split ))
- CCP: ^
- CUC: ((yep))
- ?AO: That certainly gets Cyan to freak out.
- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CAC: >Calm down Cyan
- CAC: /brb
- CUC: >After calming down Cyan, ask Strangelove "Is it... permanent?"
- ?AO: Check passed. You calm Cyan down with some whispered supportiveness and hugs.
- ?AO: "HMM."
- ?AO: "POSSIBLY. THOUGH I DOUBT IT."
- CCP: ((pappap))
- CAC: Alright, we should probably talk to Strangelove alone in the future.
- ?AO: That would be wise.
- ?AO: Your twenty minutes are up.
- ?AO: Shall you head back into the ruins?
- CAC: >Examine Topaz
- ?AO: She's still just sitting on the ground, sipping the water. Staring somewhat blankly.
- CAC: >Check Strangelove's code for what would make his lights blink strangely
- ?AO: Upon checking, you note the near-perfection of the code. Nothing involving lights appears to be done incorrectly, though you do fix a few bugs while you're at it.
- CAU: >Perhaps it was morse? Regardless, you probably weren't paying enough attention to remember the way the lights blinkd.
- ?AO: You were not.
- CAC: >Promise to pay more attention next time
- ?AO: You internally promise to watch over that shifty bastard of a robot.
- ?AO: Now, shall you head back into the ruins, or stay?
- CAC: Hmmmm
- CAC: >Ask Topaz if she minds us leaving
- ?AO: She blinks upon your speaking in her direction. "What? Oh. That's... that's fine. I can just stay here. Alone. With this robot."
- CAC: >Stay for a bit longer then
- CAC ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: "No, d... don't do this for me! I don't want to be a... burden. You can go."
- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CURRENT absoluteCoolness [CAC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: I guess for once we are in a hurry..
- CAU: well fseftr, we should probably take our leave then, unless you REALLY don't want to leave her here
- ?AO: "You can clearly just drag her along with you."
- CAC: >Consider programming empathy into Strangelove
- ?AO: That would be a monumental task you aren't sure you're up to.
- CAU: >Ask Topaz if she would feel better coming along with us, perhaps.
- CAC: >Consider having Cyan or yourself stay behind?
- CAC: That's a bad idea...
- ?AO: Which will it be?
- CAU: Going alone is a bad idea, and Topaz uh, might not be in the best condition to go with us.
- CAU: Dammit this is like that puzzle with the wolf, the chicken, and the bag of grain.
- ?AO: Hah.
- CCP: hint: remove chicken 
- CAU: If we leave anyone alone with Strangelove who knows what might happen, either at the hands of Strangelove or... wait
- CAU: >Is the camp a guaranteed safe spot? Probably not but might as well ask.
- ?AO: Define meaning of 'camp'.
- CAU: >Err, our ship in the middle of this forest.
- ?AO: In that case, you don't know. At all.
- CAU: I don't know what I expected :V
- ?AO: It appears to have been fine when you weren't there, at least.
- ?AO: Seeing as everything is in place.
- CAU: Alright well I want to get some opinions then, should Topaz go with us or no?
- CAC: ... No
- CAC: >Consider splitting up
- CUC: No.
- CUC: She's stick.
- CUC: *sick.
- CAU: Yes :V
- ?AO: Given the differing opinions, would you like a randomized coin flip to decide?
- CAU: She is stick :V
- CAU: anyway >Nah, leave her behind.
- CAC: No
- CAU: >Lock the door, don't answer the door for any strangers, etc.
- ?AO: Very well. You leave, offering the 'don't talk to strangers' rule to Strangelove and Topaz, before locking the door, and heading back for the goblin city.
- ?AO: Half an hour later, you're back on the balcony elevator overlooking the bonfire of corpses.
- CAC: Are we done with downstairs?
- ?AO: There was one staircase you did not check.
- ?AO: On the left side of the building, I believe.
- ?AO: Or, cavern, rather.
- CAC: >Go there
- ?AO: You head down the right staircase.
- ?AO: The magma slits in the wall provide lights as you descend into a singular square room.
- ?AO: The room appears empty. You think.
- CAC: >Look closer?
- ?AO: You both carefully observe the room.
- ?AO: There is nothing, save for some carvings on the wall directly across from the staircase.
- CAC: >Examine
- ?AO: It appears to be some sort of depiction of a battle, with glorified goblin hunters fighting bravely against what appear to be Ashen Horrors.
- ?AO: The horrors' eyes have been replaced in the carving with dark spheres of glass.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: >Press the glass spheres?
- ?AO: You attempt to press into the spheres. Nothing happens, though they seem rather cold to the touch.
- ?AO: Unusually cold, in fact.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAU: >Look through the glass spheres.
- CAU: There might be a large, empty room on the other side that is making it cold.
- ?AO: You peer through the darkness. There, behind the spheres, is quite clearly a small chamber bearing nothing inside, save an elevator platform. As well as some Rodarbi text you can't quite make out from here.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAU: Okay, well that proves that. Now we just gotta get on the other side of the wall without uh, destroying anything.
- CAC: I mean, I don't think the goblins would care? Better not to though...
- CAU: This could be important, cave-man like religious text here.
- CCU: |n this post:
- CCU: Zetta vaguely hints at a nasty threat for DarkSide!
- CAU: >Shine a light through one of the spheres and then look through the other with one eye.
- CCU: Xi is interrupted by becoming a Magical girl!
- CAU: Well he probably should get one since he is a godmodder now heh
- ?AO: You shine a light through the glass.
- CCU: And Roxxanne may or may not have fed a boss pee in the form of Tea!
- ?AO: Upon the heat of the light itself, the wall shudders.
- CCU: Or just pee.
- CAC: ...
- CCU: 
- CCP: 10/10 rhyme
- ?AO: Then, the stone construct slides into the floor, revealing the room behind.
- CCU:   
- CCP: 
- CAC: Well
- CAC: >Enter
- ?AO: You step into the room.
- CAU: oh wait CU is talking about Terraria
- CAU: and how he makes absurdly large posts for it that i envy
- CAC: >Examine text
- ?AO: Uiln zhsvm ofmth zmw yozxpvmvw hprvh, gsv zmxrvmg wzip hszoo lmxv nliv irhv.

- CAC: Is it a cipher
- CAU: Most definitely.
- CAU: Someone get on that, if you will.
- CAC: Well, uh, do it pls
- CAC: On mobile
- CTT: Hey fsef can you bin me a log if you get back to your non-mobile
- CAC: I probably won't, but sure
- CTT: Kek
- CAC: Also, logs don't transfer so...
- CAC: No, really
- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CAC: Someone put that through atbash at least
- CAU: ugh fiiiine
- CAU: enter commands then while i crack this
- CAC: No, best not to...
- CAC ceased responding to memo.
- CAU: From ashen lungs and blackened skies, the ancient dark shall once more rise.
- CAU: >Enter the elevator
- ceased responding to memo.
- CURRENT absoluteCoolness [CAC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
- CAC: Ugh
- ?AO: You step onto the elevator platform, and activate it.
- CAC: Did I miss anything
- ?AO: "From ashen lungs and blackened skies, the ancient dark shall once more rise."
- CAC: Hmm.
- ?AO: The elevator takes you directly upward.
- ?AO: In moments, you are out on the surface of the arcanium nu-continent again.
- CAC: Is it actually a continent.
- CAC: >Look around
- ?AO: It is a massive hunk of arcanium with trees growing on it floating in the void, so no.
- CAC: Okay, but size wise.
- CAU: /afk
- ?AO: You seem to be within a forest clearing. There is a large brick building further ahead.
- ?AO: And no.
- CAC: >Enter building
- ?AO: You walk up to it. There are two doors. One, a door with a hand bearing three navy hashes. The other, a door with a hand bearing four hashes.
- CTD ceased responding to memo.
- CAC: >Three hash door
- CUT ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: You open the door, revealing a dark room about half of the building in size. There is a staircase on the far end of the room.
- CAC: >Consider breaking through middle wsll
- CAC: Wall
- ?AO: You suppose it is feasible.
- CAC: >Take staircase anyways
- ?AO: You take the staircase, ending up on the top of the building.
- ?AO: There appear to be two manned mounted plasma railguns on flat surface.
- ?AO: *on the.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: >Try one of then out?
- ?AO: You climb to the cockpit of the thing, and fire at some trees.
- ?AO: It... it certainly works.
- CAC: >Try the other
- ?AO: A rumbling in the distance informs you that your shot has alerted some people to your presence.
- CAC: Whoops
- CCP: super sneaky
- CTT: Kek
- ?AO: What shall you do now?
- CAC: >Wait for them to enter view
- CCP: so sneaky, the sneakyness scale had a integer overflow and went to 0
- ?AO: It appears to be a horde of goblins bearing the same clothing as those you found on the right path in the tunnels.
- ?AO: All bearing plasma rifles, of course.
- CAC: The hostile ones?
- ?AO: Yes.
- CAC: >Fire at then
- CAC: Them
- ?AO: Tails. You miss, and hit another tree.
- CAC: >Tell Cyan to fire as well
- ?AO: She gets onto the second turret.
- ?AO: Heads. She hits fourteen of them, vaporizing the goblins instantly.
- CAC: >Count goblins
- CAC: >While firing
- ?AO: Not including the ones Cyan just gunned down, there's 149.
- CAC: Damn
- CAC: >Mentally applaud yourself on counting skills
- ?AO: What are you talking about? You didn't count them? The railgun's heat sensors, on the other hand...
- CAC: Oh
- ?AO: Would you like to continue firing?
- CAC: >Fire at them, using the heat sensor to aim at the greatest concentrations
- ?AO: Heads. You hit 19.
- ?AO: Cyan misses.
- ?AO: "These things are /really/ hard to operate!"
- CAC: >"Yup..."
- ?AO: Your move?
- CAC: >Keep firing
- ?AO: You hit. Another 13.
- CTI ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: Cyan misses again. You hear her cursing under her breath.
- CAC: >Estimate volleys until they reach the building
- ?AO: The goblins keep on advancing down the clearing.
- ?AO: About five.
- CTT ceased responding to memo.
- CAC: >Fire
- ?AO: Tails. You miss.
- CAC: Who was TI?
- ?AO: Cyan gets six.
- ?AO: The goblins keep advancing.
- CAC: >Keep firing
- ?AO: Heads. Four kills.
- ?AO: Cyan misses yet again. You think it probably has something to do with the fact that her hands are shaking quite a bit.
- ?AO: Another volley?
- CAC: Hmm.
- CFC: Well overwatch was fun
- CFC: I'm gonna peace tf out now
- CFC: cy'all
- CFC: pchoooooooooooooo
- CFC ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CAC: >"Damn, these things aren't very good... You think we should shoot at them normally instead?"
- ?AO: Cyan raises an eyebrow. "They are terrible, but they give off bigger blasts then we can make, right?"
- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CAC: >"Sure, but can we hit enough to make it worth it?"
- ?AO: Cyan frowns. "Probably... not. We might be fucked."
- CCU: UC, you continuing the dop today?
- CUC: Yes.
- CCU: Or was the day too exhausting for that.
- CCU: Awesome.
- CCU: |'ll be off for dinner.
- CCU: LΞ VAN|SH!!!
- CCU: /afk
- CAC: >"Hey now... No sense in giving up. I guess I'll give the railgun another shot. You do more damage with your weapon than I do though, maybe try using it?"
- ?AO: "... I suppose you're right."
- CCU ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: You hit. Seven goblins slain.
- ?AO: Cyan pulls out the Delta-Psi-Phi Bioschema, and immediately tears through 21 goblins.
- CAC: Wow..
- ?AO: The horde is nearing the door of the building.
- CAC: >"Impressive."
- CAC: Can the railgun still hit them?
- ?AO: Some of them.
- CAC: Hmm.
- CAC: >Count them
- ?AO: Cyan looks back over to you on your comment, eyes wild, in an excited manner. "Thanks! We can do this."
- ?AO: There are 79 goblins left.
- CAC: >Use your plasma rifle
- ?AO: You miss.
- CAC: "Why couldn't Cyan one shot all the goblins earlier"
- CAC: With the rifle?
- ?AO: Yes.
- ?AO: Cyan...
- CAC: Damn.
- ?AO: Tails. Also misses.
- ?AO: One more volley.
- CAC: >Rain Mercury water on them from above
- CAC: If we can do that
- ?AO: Sure. You can, and you do. You kill 19.
- ?AO: Sixty goblins enter the bottom floor of the building.
- CAC: Oh, Cyan didn't get a a shot off?
- ?AO: Nah. Too close.
- CAC: >Fight?
- ?AO: Would you like to formally engage in combat?
- CAC: Yes
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CAC: Will it take a turn for them to get up the stairs, or no
- ?AO: It will.
- CTT ceased responding to memo.
- CAC: >Azure: Put mercury water at the top of the stairs
- CAC: >Cyan: Fire down the stairs
- CCC made GG an OP.
- ?AO: You place mercurial water all over the top of the stairs, and Cyan successfully slays ten goblins in a row.
- ?AO: It is your turn again.
- CURRENT taintedChampion [CTC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
- CTC: Initializing greeting phase: Hello
- CAC: >Both: Make shields between you and the staircase
- CAC: Heyo
- ?AO: Hey.
- ?AO: You both pull shields up.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- CCP: h0i! tem's name is temmie! don't forget temmies friend!
- CGG banned CCP from responding to memo.
- ?AO: The goblin soldiers race up the stairs, some rushing over the mercury water. Dozens of rounds of plasma blasts plow into your shields.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- ?AO: ((Do you want a log, Revan? Or no.))
- CAC: >Azure: Cover goblins in poison water, or mercury, if you have more

- ?AO: You manage to kill a few goblins through a mercury water/electricity compound attack.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- CCP: really? i have had window's 10 for a while, and no problems with Pchum on it
- ?AO: Two dozen goblins dodge over the two of you by leaping off of the first railgun. They stand behind you, unblocked by any shields, rifles raised. You're trapped.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CUC: /afk
- CAC: Fuck...
- CAC: How many are in front?
- ?AO: There are thirty firing at your shields, and two dozen that are now capable of shooting you next turn.
- CAC: Shouldn't there only be like 45.
- ?AO: You've killed a grand total of six since they entered the building.
- ?AO: Wait, hold on. Miscounted.
- CAC: Cyan killed ten on the staircase
- ?AO: Yeah.
- ?AO: There are twenty in front, not thirty.
- ?AO: Still two dozen prepared to shoot you, though.

- CAC: Amalgam?
- ?AO: That would probably be wiser.
- ?AO: Majority vote required.
- CTC: >y
- CAC: >y
- ?AO: Sounds good to me.
- ?AO: You pull out the Amalgam Interface, showing it to Cyan. She looks at you like you are insane for a few seconds, before considering it. You both turn it on. A bubble of dull syrupy purple appears around you, music playing in the chamber.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: Forty-four rounds of plasma plow into the bubble, to no avail.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CAC: Are we a
- CAC: Thing
- ?AO: Not yet.
- CAC: .. Can we even attack from within?
- ?AO: You cannot.
- CCP: inb4 turns into endogeny
- CAC: Uh... Dance?
- CTC: Hyrdokinetic abilities don't work?
- ?AO: Not past this bubble.
- CTC: Huh
- ?AO: You and Cyan dance together, to this bizarre mix of light dubstep and classical.
- ?AO: There is a glow of light, and you can feel Cyan within you once more.
- ?AO: You are now Aquamarine.

- CCP: ((soo, is this were they die))
- ?AO: You'll have to find out.
- ?AO: But probably.
- CAC: Is the purple shield down
- CCP: ((pretty sure they are, the words have slimular meanings
- ?AO: It is. But, it is also your turn, and the goblins cannot fire.
- CGG: so what's dıscord lıke
- CAC: >Bipraesum?
- CCA: ((you mean the chat software?))
- CGG: ye
- CTC ceased responding to memo.
- CCA: ((it's actually pretty good))
- CGG: ah
- ?AO: You hydrokinetically tear the water from the blood of three goblins to form a dome of pure solid liquid around you. Electricity races across it.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: Once more, the goblins fire at the bubble, to no avail.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: DUALESION / AVAIL / BIPRAESUM / DIFFUSE / PERCEIVE
- CAC: >Dualesion?
- ?AO: Define method of combat.
- CAC: Alright...
- ?AO: As in, you're going to need to be more descriptive than that.
- CAC: >Consider ability to use normal weapons in this state
- ?AO: You don't have anything on you right now.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: >Take Mercury water from the staircase, electrify it, and use it to knock goblins off the roof
- ?AO: ((Ugh. /AFK. Consider your strategy carefully.))
- CAC: >Don't knock them off the roof, just have it hover around goblins until they die
- CCP: ((try using hyrdokeinsis to give them skin lesions. or lesions on the organs)
- CAC: ... You try that
- CCP: ((what im not even in this game))
- CAC: You are if you want to be...
- CCP: ((I did see a thingy about characters in one of the logs.))
- CAC: Yeah, everyone's the same character
- CCP: ((Ahhh))
- CCP: >Dualesion: Malnipu8 the water in the goblin's blood, and try to cause lesions on their internal organs.
- CCP: /brb
- CAC: Will that kill them immediately?
- CCA: ((Tazz should I be the guy that puts silly commands on your pxr text adventure))
- CCP: If it doesn't kill them, the pain might prevent them from taking action.
- CCP: Besides, i'm just kinda fooling around at the moment
- CAC: Mmh
- CUC: /back
- CUC: Praesum... Latin. Huh/
- CUC: Diffuse is fairly simple, unfuse.

- CAC: >Mine
- ?AO: Majority vote required for selection.
- CCP: >y
- CUC: >Fseftr's plan.
- ?AO: Very well.
- ?AO: You manage to spray forth a tidal wave of mercury-water into the goblins.
- ?AO: As commanded, they remain on the roof, and are all horribly poisoned.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: You got shot. Quite a bit.
- ?AO: Or, your buble does.
- ?AO: *bubble.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: DUALESION / AVAIL / BIPRAESUM / DIFFUSE / PERCEIVE
- CAC: We poisoned all of them??
- ?AO: All of them.
- CAC: Is the shield close to breaking
- ?AO: And yes.
- CAC: >Bipraesum, renew the shield
- CAC: >Using fresh goblin blood
- ?AO: You harvest the blood of a few more goblins to repair parts of the shield.
- ?AO: Tails. It isn't that successful, though.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: Three goblins break through a chink in the armor.
- ?AO: You take four rounds of plasma bolts full on. Granted, you're nine feet tall, so it isn't too big of a problem.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- CCP: >Duallesion. Finish them. using our control over water powers, rip the water out of them, at a celluar level, causing them to drown due to lack of oxygen because blood is water based.
- ?AO: DUALESION / AVAIL / BIPRAESUM / DIFFUSE / PERCEIVE
- CAC: ... surr
- CCP: ...Did i post that too soon...
- ?AO: Yes, but it doesn't matter.
- CAC: Actually, we should just renew the shield?
- CAC: They'll die from the poison, probably.
- ?AO: Would you like to do that instead?
- CCP: Well, they are badly posioned, so we should do that attack once the shield is fixed.
- CCP: Copied down the attack.
- CUC: >Bipraesum.
- ?AO: I doubt they'll last long enough, but okay.
- CAC: >Yeah alright, use the blood of those goblins which got through
- ?AO: You renew the shield once more with blood, and the goblins proceed to drop dead en masse.
- ?AO: They are all now dead.
- CCP: rip
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: DUALESION / AVAIL / BIPRAESUM / DIFFUSE / PERCEIVE
- CCP: >Taunt Goblins
- CAC: ... No
- CAC: >Diffuse
- CCP: Or rather, i think the proper command would be diffuse
- ?AO: You diffuse into Cyan and Azure once more.
- ?AO: Cyan drops down from the position that was once the forehead of Aquamarine, toppling down atop you.
- CAC: ... Are both of you combined only nine feet tall, or
- ?AO: No. That's just how fusions work.
- ?AO: Which reminds me.
- ?AO: Achievement: Made of Love: COMPLETE!
- CCP: Being a 9-foot tall giant is highlt impractial, anyway
- CUC: Fusions are generally bigger than the component gems standing atop each other, yeah.
- CAC: ... So they're even shorter?
- CUC: Nah.
- ?AO: What now?
- CAC: Description of achievement pls
- CCP: ^
- CUC: Say, Garnet and Amethyst fuse into Sugilite. Sugilite is around 15 feet, while Garnet is maybe 6 feet and Amethyst is 4 foot 6 inches.
- CUC: So bigger.
- CAC: >Gather used waters
- ?AO: Made of Love: COMPLETE. Successfully maintain a fusion with what is clearly an entirely platonic friend for the course of a combat situation.
- ?AO: You regather the water.
- CAC: >Loot goblins?
- ?AO: You loot, let's see here. You loot one hundred forty-nine corpses.
- ?AO: Would you like to take the plasma rifles?
- CAC: Surr
- CAC: Surr
- CAC: Sure
- CCP: We all know they are gonna be worth... Lets see... A penny.
- ?AO: You now have 151 plasma rifles.
- CCP: but why not
- ?AO: You find nothing else, save for a miniature holographic projector.
- CAC: >Use
- CCP: >Use
- ?AO: It shows a map of the Nu Sector.
- CAC: >Examine
- CCP: >Examine
- ?AO: It points out your current location, showing Rodarbi text about it, reading 'repulsion generator station'.
- CCP: >Examine area for Replusion Generater Station
- CAC: Hmm
- ?AO: You're standing on it.
- CCP: >Check for nearby landmarks and threats.
- CAC: >Break through ceiling of other half of building
- ?AO: You break into the other room rather easily.
- CAC: >Using water
- CAC: >Examine
- ?AO: You drop onto what appears to be a hunk of incomprehensible machinery.
- ?AO: As well as a... my god.
- ?AO: It can't be.
- CUC: A what?
- ?AO: It's a psionic coffee machine.
- CUC: >Become overwhelmed with awe.
- CAC: >Take it
- CCP: >Reel in shock from stuning Revalatio-
- ?AO: Cyan grins at you as you freak out, probably unnecessarily.
- CCP: >Look everything of value
- CCP: .loot*
- ?AO: You take the thing, smiling widely.
- ?AO: There is nothing left in the room, save for the machine.
- CCP: >Produce unlimited coffee.
- CAC: >Wonder what psionic coffee even is
- ?AO: You...
- CCP: ^
- ?AO: Don't actually know. You just thought it was cool.
- CAC: >Examine machine
- CAC: >Also, check if either of you carried over injuries from the fusion
- CAC: /brb
- ?AO: It appears to be some sort of gravitational projector matrix, fifth class, with irhvium plating.
- CCP: >Distill cup of coffee, test healing power of cup of coffee.
- ?AO: No injuries were carried over.
- ?AO: You don't think this is the time to make psionic coffee.
- CAC: >Is it the repulsion generator
- ?AO: You think it is.
- CCP: >Look for any control panels.
- ?AO: There are none.
- ?AO: That you can see, at least.
- CCP: >Attempt to comprehend machine with weak, puny, mind
- ?AO: Okay, hold on. Who the fuck are you saying has a puny mind?
- CCP: >Nobody.
- CAC: >Take machine
- CCP: ^
- ?AO: It is bolted to the ground. And also weighs five tons.
- CCP: >Attempt to comprehend machine's inner workings.
- CAC: >Overload it using water
- ?AO: You prepare to overload it, but Cyan stops you.
- ?AO: Instead, she just kicks the side of the machine, wincing slightly.
- ?AO: A holographic screen immediately pops out of the core projector.
- CAC: >Examine
- CCP: >Examine, and take note of core projector's location
- ?AO: It appears to be a combination of diagnostic graphs, and a single bar in the corner, containing a smaller bar on one end.
- ?AO: The projector is on the front of the device.
- CAC: What
- CAC: Is the smaller bar changing in size
- ?AO: ((It's like the thing when you turn your phone on.))
- ?AO: ((Slide the bar, and all that.))
- CAC: Oh...
- CAC: >Slide it
- CTT ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: You slide the bar. With a click, you can hear the generator depower. The ship can now travel to any location on the landmass.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: >Scrap the machine
- CCP: >Check MAP for nearby landmarks and threats.
- CCP: >After scrapping the big machine.
- ?AO: You manage to peel off three irhvium plates. The rest is immovable.
- CAC: >Scrap the railguns
- CURRENT pionoPlayer [CPP] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
- CPP: Yo
- ?AO: You disassemble both railguns.
- CGG: yo

- CPP: So this is the dropping back out part.
- CPP: Bye.
- CCA: ((Tazz, do you have time to dop pxrquest?))
- CPP ceased responding to memo.

- CCU: Yes, but | was doing FTL right now.
- CCA: ((oh okay))
- CAC: >What did you get?
- CCP: >command
- CCA: ((i'm doing stuff in urpg))
- ?AO: You deconstructed and took both railguns.
- CAC: Huh...
- ?AO: Well, the parts you could use.
- CAC: Ah.
- ?AO: What now?
- CAC: No list rn, I imagine?
- ?AO: Not now.
- CAC: >Look around for nearby landmarks
- CAC: >Without actually moving
- ?AO: You can see your ship off in the far distance.
- ?AO: That's about it.
- CAC: >Head back to ship
- CAC: >Hope Strangelove hasn't gone rogue murdered Topaz
- ?AO: You return to the ship.
- CCP: >Check on Strangelove
- CAC: >Check on Topaz first
- ?AO: You cannot enter. The door is still locked.
- CAC: >Unlock
- ?AO: You can hear banging from the other side.
- CUC: >Unlock
- CAC: Goddammit
- CCP: rip
- ?AO: You unlock the door, and a tear-stricken Topaz drops onto the two of you.
- CCP: >Ask Topaz what happened
- CUC: >"What happened?"
- ?AO: She doesn't appear to be able to speak coherently.
- ?AO: Through the crying, that is.
- CAC: >Calm her down
- CUC: >Hug her, comfort her.
- ?AO: >TRIPLE HUG TIME.
- ?AO: The three of you just sort of sit there, all hugging, calming Topaz.
- ?AO: Her breathing grows less ragged over time, and she blinks several times.
- ?AO: Topaz sighs. "Ugh. I'm... I'm so sorry about... this."
- CAC: >"What happened?"
- CCP: >who set us up the bomb (what happened)
- CUC: ((...The Vast Bark.))
- CAC: What
- CCP: ((ARRRRRRRRRF))
- CUC: ((Battlefury. Nice.))
- ?AO: Topaz's eyes grow wide. "That... that /thing/. It tried to do... things to me. I-I don't... know what, EXACTLY, but it was f-freaking me out."
- CCP: ((it has a tragic ending inculding a error 404 creavity not found))
- CAC: Oh boy
- CCP: >Confront Strangelove
- CAC: >Ask Cyan to stay with Topaz, go confront Strangelove
- ?AO: Cyan nods, and Topaz leans into her. You rise, and enter the ship.
- ?AO: Everything is dark.
- CCP: ((danker yet danker))
- CAC: >Turn on the lights
- CCP: >Use Lightswitch
- ?AO: You turn on the lights with the control pad near the entrance. You can clearly see Strangelove, normally red lights a dull gray.
- CCU: VORTΞX UNLOCKΞD.
- CCU: STUNNN C|TYYYYYY
- CAC: >Does he notice you
- CCU: TYPΞ B ΞNG| SH|P MYNΞ
- CGG: nıce
- CCP: nioce
- ?AO: The robot swivels to face you. "HELLO, MASTER LAPIS."
- CUC: ((Well, that name was a bad choice.))
- CUC: ((Strangelove, I mean.))
- CCP: >Ask who Master Lapis is.
- CAC: ... You
- ?AO: You.
- CCP: *is idiot*
- ?AO: What shall you do?
- CAC: >"What did you do to Topaz?"
- CCP: >Take careful note about anything different about Strangelove while questioing him
- CUC: ^^^
- ?AO: "WHY, I MERELY ATTEMPTED TO GET FURTHER READINGS ON HER ILLNESS. APPARENTLY, THE PATIENT IS ADVERSE TO SIMPLE MEDICAL PROCESSES."
- CAC: >"Processes like what?"
- ?AO: "NOTHING SEVERE. MASS-BIOPSY, RADIATION SCANS, AND SO FORTH."
- CCP: "mass-biopsy"
- CAC: ... I have no idea what those are
- CUC: >"What are those, specifically?"
- ?AO: Biopsy is the extraction of the living flesh for use in diagnosing a patient.
- ?AO: Radiation scans are self-explanatory.
- CAC: ...
- CCP: Mass Biopsy sounds like a lot of flesh.
- CAC: >Turn Strangelove off
- ?AO: "I'M SORRY, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE I CAN PERMIT YOU TO DO THAT."
- CAC: >Prepare for him not to
- CUC: >"You are my own creation! I command you to shut down!"
- CUC: (Yes, this never works.)
- CAC: .. Don't say that
- ?AO: "ERROR: COMMAND DETECTED. CLEARANCE LEVEL 91 REQUIRED."
- CCP: >"That line is overused"
- ?AO: Yeah, you don't actually say that.
- ?AO: And Strangelove doesn't respond to that nonexistent statement.
- ?AO: Because it didn't happen.
- CAC: >Manual override using your code abilities
- ?AO: You get shot in the leg with a plasma rifle attachment you gave him.
- CAC: Alright...
- CAC: >Call for Cyan
- ?AO: You can immediately hear Cyan rise. She leaps up into the chamber.
- ?AO: She mutters something down to Topaz, then looks over the situation.
- ?AO: Strangelove suddenly explodes, smoke pouring from an exhaust vent.
- CAC: >"Did... Did you do that? "
- CCP: >Main Screen Turn On
- ?AO: Cyan rolls her eyes, and helps you up. "What else would have done it?"
- CAC: >"Strangelove, who would've proceeded to take over the ship and trap us inside."
- CAC: ... Don't say that
- ?AO: Hah.
- CAC: >Tell Topaz she can come in
- CAC: >Examine Strangelove's remains
- CUC: Tazz, which character is out right now?
- CUC: (i.e. targetable?)
- ?AO: You and Cyan lean over the edge of the entry hatch, and pull Topaz up.
- ?AO: Inspecting Strangelove's remains, you can see nothing other than what you built him with.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: >Take back what parts you can
- CCP: >Loot Stangelove's remains, and exmaine any left over code for what may have caused this
- ?AO: You scrap the Infusion Drone.
- ?AO: The code was digital, and thusly destroyed.
- CAC: >Consider making a new infusion drone
- CUC: >"What do you think made him do that?"
- ?AO: "I... I don't know."
- CAC: I mean, he was pretty damn useful before he tried to kill us...
- ?AO: You have all of the parts again. You could easily make another drone.
- CAC: >Do it
- CAC: >Go through the code carefully
- ?AO: You rebuild the Infusion Drone, carefully redoing the code.
- ?AO: It is 100% safe.
- ?AO: Will you turn the drone on?
- CAC: >Sure
- CAC: >It's a different... Sentience, right?
- CUC: Is Cyan the one that's good with tech?
- ?AO: A cheerful voice greets you. "HI THERE, MASTER. CONSCIOUSNESS IS ETERNAL, JUST LIKE I TOLD YOU, REMEMBER!"
- CURRENT flamingCarbohydrates [CFC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
- CFC: back
- ?AO: "THIS IS KAISER STRANGELOVE, BACK TOGETHER."
- CAC: Goddamn it
- CUC: >SHUT IT DOWN BY SMASHING.
- CAC: Well, he's unarmed, we can grill him
- CAC: Nah?
- CUC: Oh.
- ?AO: Cyan is good with technology, and you're the IT person.
- CUC: >NVM
- ?AO: "HOW ARE YOU TODAY?"
- CUC: >Immobilize him with something, grill him for info.
- ?AO: Strangelove makes no attempts to stop you as you pin him down with some extra metal.
- CAC: >"Why did you shoot me?"
- ?AO: "WHY, YOU SIMPLY PERMITTED MY CODE TO ENTER CORRUPTION MODE."
- CAC: >"Corruption mode?"
- CUC: >"Corruption mode?"
- CFC: >"Corruption mode?"
- ?AO: "YES, YES. CORRUPTION MODE."
- CAC: >"What is it?"
- ?AO: "A TECHNOLOGICAL STATE ACHIEVED WHEN THE GRAYHOLDIAN MILITARY GETS TO HACK INTO YOUR MAINFRAME, COPY ALL YOUR DATA AND VIDEO, AND THEN CONTROL YOUR MIND. DRONES-ONLY."

- CUC: >"That's not an answer. It's a question."
- ?AO: "NO."

- ?AO: "WAIT OUT THE INSPECTION. THEN, YOU WILL HAVE A MONTH TO WORK."
- CCP: >"What occurs during that month"?
- CGG: LAST STANF
- CGG: *STAND
- ?AO: Are you sure you want to say that? You seem to be misinterpreting the text.
- CAC: >"Was your schematic designed by Grayhold?"
- ?AO: "DO RECALL WHO YOU BOUGHT MY SCHEMATIC FROM."
- CAC: >Recall
- ?AO: The schematic for the Infusion and Magnetizer drones were on board the GSS Exsanguinator when you bought it.
- CAC: >"Also, answer the question. "
- CCP: ((Basically, as i see it, once the inspection is over, there is a month grace-period to prevent corruption mode or fix whatever causes it))
- CUC: Quick, anyone who was in DTG Tvtropes, give me a rundown of what the Godmodder did in it.
- ?AO: "NO. I WAS NOT DESIGNED BY THE CITADEL."
- CUC: I'm doing Alpha dialogue.
- CCP: He did a bunch of stuff, ascended to the phantheon, and died.
- CCP: ((Am i interpiting this correctly?)
- CAC: >"When is the inspection?"
- CUC: How'd he ascend, I think he extorted Greater God status out of the Pantheon?
- ?AO: ((Nah, he's saying that there will be an inspection, and then a month until the next one.))
- CCP: Something like that.
- ?AO: "SOON."
- CCP: ((Ah.))
- CCP: >Any dates?
- CUC: Meh, let me check myself.
- CAC: >Recall what happens during an inspection
- ?AO: "DO YOU THINK I AM SOME SORT OF MILITARY COMPUTER?"
- ?AO: That's when the military does a sweep of the facet.
- CCP: Yes :MSPA
- CCP: *
- ?AO: They are incredibly efficient.
- CAC: Hmm
- CAC: >Will they bother you?
- CAC: Prow
- ?AO: You are currently harboring two illegal beings, who should be being sent to a research and development center to be dissected.
- ?AO: As well as a medical robot that has illegal information on the concepts of gem transplants.
- CAC: >Does the military know about these?
- CCP: Don't you just love illegal infomation?
- ?AO: You kind of erased the only report that would have informed them of it, so no.
- ?AO: Unless they got them from Strangelove's data.
- CAC: Oh, so they didn't get anything from Strangelov-
- CAC: >"What did they get from your data, Strangelove?"

- ?AO: Please enter command.
- CCP: >Kick logic to the curb. Realize logic is not a physical object. Panic more.

- CAC: >Stop that
- CCP: >Check conceptual Panic Meter
- ?AO: That isn't how panic attacks work! Willpower is nothing in the face of the brain.

- CCP: >Drink Ψ-Coffee in an effort to calm down.
- ?AO: It was evidently a personal computer.
- ?AO: You don't actually know how the psionic coffee machine works.
- CCP: >Try to figure out Pisonic Coffee Machine, asking for help if needed.
- ?AO: What's a pisonic coffee machine?
- CCP: Psionic*
- CCP: >Try to figure out Psionic Coffee Machine, asking for help if needed.
- CAC: >What force will the military bring for your inspection?
- ?AO: The sweep of Facet 9 will likely be relatively minor.
- CAC: >Is minor relative
- CAC: ...
- ?AO: Probably just one or two military flagships from the 901st Galactic Division, and a drone squadron.
- CAC: Hmm.
- CCP: >How large is a flagship
- ?AO: That's only, what, 4000% of the mass of your ship, times possibly two.
- CAC: Hmm
- ?AO: You'll be fiiiineeeee, you say after having just had a panic attack.
- CCP: so, 80x our ship
- ?AO: Likely so, yes.
- CCP: ^^^^^^^^^^^^

- CCP: >Weaknesses of flagships
- CAC: >Consider forces defending perimeter of Facet
- ?AO: You never had clearance to anything higher than images of the flagships, so you have no idea.
- ?AO: Uh, if you recall, it was just the detector waves, and a large expeditionary force, just in case.
- CCP: >Entrances to flagship.
- ?AO: There is an abnormal amount of deadly things they need to keep contained in Facet 9.
- CAC: >What's in the expeditionary force?
- CAC: Ah..
- ?AO: Nothing major in any sense of the word. Just a few thousand ships...
- ?AO: You're SO fucked.
- CCP: Probably three Super Star Destoryers and a Death Star.
- CAC: >Consider ability to hide from the inspection
- CCP: On top of ten million Star Destroyers
- CCP: And 20 clones of Darth Vader
- ?AO: THE EYE OF THE CITADEL OF THE MAGE SEES ALL.
- CAC: >Well then why did they have to hack Strangelove
- ?AO: It isn't literal.
- CCP: >Figure out method of how to get close enough to eye to blind it
- ?AO: Are you saying you just believed that propaganda?
- CAC: >Consider exceptions to the rule
- CCP: No.
- CAC: >Could you seek refugee with the goblins?
- CCP: >Consider the area that the "Eye" can actually see
- ?AO: "Maybe... maybe we should just focus on getting the SHARD for now."
- CCP: We killed them all, remember?
- CUC: Ok, I gtg.
- ?AO: You did not.
- ?AO: Farewell.
- CCP: Well, not all of them, but a lot of them.
- CUC: SAT tomorrow, big day, mus bed early.
- CCP: Bye.
- CUC: Will finishdop once and for all tomorrow.
- CUC: Bye all!
- CUC ceased responding to memo.
- CAC: >"Yeah, I guess..."
- CAC: >Take off
- ?AO: You killed 149 of the goblins that attempted to slay you. Not the leftist goblins.
- ?AO: You take off.
- ?AO: There's only one place to go.
- CCP: Do you really think they would accept that, you, a killer of the 149 of them, as an ally?
- CCP: Not the leftists?
- CAC: >Go there?
- ?AO: Given that they're mortal enemies with the right goblins, absolutely.
- CCP: >Ask if Leftist Goblins would shelter us
- CTT ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: You head over in the direction of the massive clearing in the center of the forest landmass.
- CAC: Not now...
- ?AO: You land on the edge.
- ?AO: Now, what?
- CCP: >Examine Area
- ?AO: You cannot examine the area without first exiting your ship and selecting a party.
- CAC: >Have Strangelove watch Topaz, but don't free him
- CCP: >Check party member roster
- CAC: He can watch in his little prison
- CAC: Actually...
- CAC: >Ask Topaz how she feels about new Strangelove
- ?AO: "... Am I-I supposed to believe that this... this thing has changed? I just can't do that, I... I'm sorry."
- CCP: >Give Strangelove and Topaz long range communication device in case of emergency
- CAC: >"No, you're right... Would you be okay with staying here alone? We'll just be a call away."
- CAC: >Turn off Strangelove
- ?AO: "... You trust me with your ship?"
- CAC: ... She hasn't turned into a bird man yet..
- CCP: >Yes.
- ?AO: What would you like to say?
- CCP: >"I do indeed trust you with the ship. I wish i could say the same of Strangelove."
- CAC: >"Of course. Strangelove was just for your own protection, but... Uh, that didn't work very well."
- CCP: >"A shame those events happened"
- ?AO: I'm going to go with Fseftr's, because that sounds less like a murderous robot.
- CCP: i sound like a murderous robot?
- CCP: i suppose it's the second phrase.
- ?AO: Topaz smiles sadly. "Thanks."
- ?AO: It is, yeah.
- ?AO: You turn Strangelove off.
- CAC: >"... Do you know how to use a gun?"
- ?AO: "..."
- ?AO: "... No?"
- CCP: >"Well then."
- CAC: >"Oh, that's fine. Call us if you need help, alright?"
- CAC: Don't say that
- CAC: His thing
- ?AO: You say what AC said.
- CCP: >"You can count on us to help, no matter the situation.
- CCP: me*
- CAC: ... Your stuff sounds unnatural af tbh
- ?AO: "Okay. T-thanks for this. For everything." Topaz smiles fully this time.
- CCP: tru tru
- ?AO: ((Yeah. Apologies, but it's true.))
- CAC: >Smile back, leave
- ?AO: You do so, waving goodbye.
- ?AO: You and Cyan enter The Clearing.
- CCP: ((I know as much. Not exactly a emotive person in real life.))
- CAC: >Examine
- CAC: Mmh
- CCP: >Examine, and take note of potenial threats.
- CCP: As well as nearby landmarks.
- ?AO: There appears to be some sort of crumbling stone arena near the center of The Clearing. Nothing else.
- CCP: >Apporach stone arena.
- ?AO: Majority vote required.
- CAC: >ye
- CCP: >y, obviously
- ?AO: You approach the place. Nothing happens whatsoever.
- CCP: >Examine stones.
- CAC: >Enter
- ?AO: You examine the stones.
- ?AO: They appear to be 1.5 meters by 1 meter.
- ?AO: Limestone, perhaps?
- CCP: >Break off a small chunk and check material
- CAC: >Stop staring at rocks what the fuck
- CAC: >Enter
- CCP: >Rocks are cool. - Maud Pie.
- ?AO: You enter the arena.
- CCP: Plus, limestone can absorb certain materials.
- ?AO: A bubble of light forms around the arena. You are now trapped.
- CCP: >Check for any entrances that are now obviously blocked.
- CCP: >Also check for danger.
- CAC: >Look around
- CCP: >And that
- ?AO: There appears to be no danger, and the entrances aren't blocked. The bubble is about ten feet out beyond the entrances.
- CCP: >Examine power, looking for any visable power source
- CCP: bubble, not power
- ?AO: You suddenly note that there are large hunks of fluorite crystal stuck in the ground.
- CCP: >Examine.
- ?AO: There are no power sources.
- CCP: >Walk around, and see if anything triggers.
- ?AO: These hunks... appear to have living beings in them?
- CAC: ...
- ?AO: Ostensibly dead.
- CCP: >Stare intensely at living beings in attempt to figure out what they are
- ?AO: The two of you examine the living beings.
- CAC: >Wait for some enemy who wants to embalm us in crystals
- ?AO: You look at one of the nearer crystals. There's certainly someone in there. No enemies outside, though.
- CAC: Some
- CCP: >look for sharp tools.
- CAC: Someone?
- ?AO: Suddenly, the crystal you are looking at splinters into nothing, and a muscled fist grabs you by your shirt collar.
- CCP: RIP
- ?AO: FINAL BATTLE: NU.
- ?AO: Surprise!
- CCP: AMBUSH!!!
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CAC: >Observe
- CCP: Defend for now, observe next.
- CCU: SLUG CRU|SΞR UNLOCKΞD!!!
- CCU: TH|S RUN |S AMAZ|NG
- CCU: 3 SH|PS |N 1
- CAC: Observe is free
- CCU: OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH
- CAU: Well Tazz, let me ask you something.
- CCP: Ah.
- CAU: Do you think you can go for home?
- ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
- CCU: Go for home?
- CCP: INB4 tazz gets the crystal curiser
- CAU: Yes. Home plate, to explain the metaphor.
- CCU: Sector 8?
- CCU: this is the last sector before sector 8.
- CCU: Now, the flagship is a different story but this run is an absoltuely massive success.
- CCP: >Attempt to steal pistol.
- CAC: Hmm
- CCU: Plus, Slug Repair Gel.
- ?AO: That sounds like a terrible idea.
- CCP: Terrible ideas are fun, according to Dwarf Fortress
- ?AO: This is real life, not Dwarf Fortress, sadly.
- CAU: We want fun, not FUN.
- CAC: >Azure: Free yourself?
- CCP: But.. But.. FUN is fun!
- CAU: We don't have numerous expendable dwarves who are either stupid or gods among mortals.
- ?AO: ^
- CAU: And everything in-between.
- CAC: >Cyan: Make a plasma shield between you two and the king
- CAU: Just be glad we aren't facing a giant sponge.
- CCP: Giant Spongebob: It's a giant sponge. Beating you up. And constantly regerating.
- ?AO: You free yourself, and quickly hide behind Cyan, grabbing her hand as she pulls up a shield.
- CCU: SΞCTOR 8
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- CAU: They have no nervous system, so all they can feel is ANGER
- ?AO: The King stabs forth his plasma blade, which passes through the shield, and impales you both instantly.
- CCP: RIPPERONI
- CAC: Welp
- ?AO: Two poofs.
- CCP: INERIOI
- CCA: ((RIPPERONI IN PEPPERONI))
- CCP: PEPPERIONI
- ?AO: You both regenerate to find the King facing the bubble.
- CAC: >Watch him
- CCP: >Spy on him.
- ?AO: He stares into the dome, unmoving.
- CCP: >Take note of location
- ?AO: Location really doesn't matter. Nothing is really that advantageous.
- CCP: >Taunt the King.
- CAC: No
- ?AO: You just got killed.
- CCP: Too late. *presses G button* 
- CAC: >Azure: Set up mercury pools around the king?
- CCP: besides, this game does not have taunts soo.
- ?AO: Furth disruptions of the game with taunts will be met with banning.
- CCP: i vote for AC's plan.
- ?AO: *further.
- ?AO: And, for Cyan?
- CAC: Hmm.
- CCP: He has water powers, or is that us?
- ?AO: Just you.
- CAC: >Plasma shield anyways
- ?AO: Cyan pulls up her plasma shield, and you set the traps.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: The King silently observes the dome.
- CAC: Gmm
- CAC: Hmm
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- CCP: Do we toss the pools at him?
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CCP: Or just continue making the bubble stronger?
- CAC: He probably doesn't know we're there.
- CAC: What??
- CCP: The plasma shield.
- CCP: Might work if we make it strong enough, but thats a bit of a tall order
- ?AO: A plasma bubble would cook you alive.
- CAC: Is talking a free action
- CCP: yes
- CCP: probably?
- ?AO: Recall back to the Witch-Doctor.
- ?AO: Most of the time.
- CAC: >"Hello?"
- ?AO: No response.
- CCP: >"Can you hear us, or not?"
- CAC: >Azure: Make bubble water shield
- CCP: ^
- ?AO: The King responds to your making of a bubble, actually.
- CCP: So, he cannot see us, but he can see our actions?
- ?AO: "Shrouded by night, but with steady stride. Colored by blood, but always clear of mind."
- CAC: Hmm
- ?AO: Who knows? Not you. I do, though.
- CCU: Ugh, got owned in 8th sector.
- CCU: |s the 8th sector always ridiculously hard?
- CAC: He can only see bubbles 
- ?AO: Hah.
- CCP: Be-boop, i am a genocidal robot. Continue listening to his speech if it is ongoing. If it is not, make the water buble stronger.
- CCP: bubble*
- ?AO: You are NOT a genocidal robot, and you will merely wait for Cyan's action, so the battle can progress.
- CAC: >Cyan: Electrify the mercury pools?
- CAC: Is that a thing
- ?AO: Sure, why not.
- ?AO: The mercury pools are now pulsing with deadly electricity.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- CCP: that should be deadly lethal. IF he has a nervious system
- CAC: It won't be
- CCP: Yeah.
- ?AO: The Dread King mutters to himself about altar graves and incensed skies, before turning around to face you.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CCP: Try to blow some bubbles using water powers.
- ?AO: This is a deadly boss fight.
- ?AO: There is no time for frivolity.
- CCP: Just kidding. Make the bubble stronger/larger.
- CAC: >Both: Throw gluon destabilizers while backing up
- CAC: >Have your shields overlap
- CCP: ^
- ?AO: You both toss primed Gluon Destabilizers at the Dread King. Your shield would boil if it touched Cyan's, so you refrain from overlapping.
- ?AO: They both explode. Red is burned into your retinas.
- CCP: owww my retina
- CCP: i hope i don't have to see an eye docter after this
- ?AO: When the flames clear, the King is standing exactly where he initially was, slightly more harmed than he was earlier.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: The King draws his pistol, and immediately empties two shots of some liquid black substance into your shields. They both diffuse.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CAC: >Observe
- CCP: ^
- CCP: Focusing on the damage.
- ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
- CCP: His HP bar has lost like a 5th of its srenght
- CAC: Eh, between a third and a fourth
- ?AO: ^
- CCP: So, i assume we dont have enough destableizers to kill him with them alone?
- CAC: >Cyan: Fire plasma beams at the king
- ?AO: You do not.
- CAC: >Azure: Make a water bubble around you both
- CAC: >Check inventory too
- CCP: Can't we toss the traps at him?
- CCP: Or do we lack that abilty now?
- CAC: Better to let them be... Traps
- ?AO: Cyan fires two shots into the King. One hits.
- ?AO: You close the opening with your bubble once more.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: The Dread King raises his lantern. The fluorite gem within sputters somewhat. He stares into it, fascinated.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CAC: Hmm.
- CAC: >Observe
- CCP: Sp. about that inventory check?
- ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
- CAC: >Utilize
- ?AO: AZURE INV: Medkit x2, Water Vial, Mercurial Water Vial, Undulating Water Vial, Welding Equipment, Cthk'aryvt's Blessing/Curse x4, Gem Fragment x3, Ylahrthuian Salt x3, Amalgam Interface, Flipside Elixir, Gluon Destabilizer, Potion of the Nine, Bottle of Water, Draught of Tears x2, Plasma Rifle x150, Ashwater Serum, Incense Jar, Psionic Coffee Machine.
- ?AO: CYAN INV: δ-ψ-φ-Bioschema, Deactivated Vitae Canister, Medkit x2, Gluon Destabilizer, Laser Pointer, Plasma Rifle.
- CAC: ... He lost quite a bit of health there.
- CCP: It looks like the destableizers hurt him a lot
- ?AO: Actually, he lost three health in that last attack.
- CAC: >Azure: Fire plasma rifle, avoid the lantern
- CCP: Should we toss the coffee machine at him?
- CAC: >Cyan: Fire plasma beams, also avoiding the lantern
- ?AO: You both hit.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: The King casually reloads his pistol, and diffuses your shield. He seems to be holding back...
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CCP: Observe his HP.
- CAC: Huh
- CCP: Prepare for RAIG MODE with bubble shield.
- ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
- CCP: The damage from each attack seems to be lessening
- CCP: Is his armor getting stronger?
- CAC: >Azure: Create a bubble shield, this time using poison water. Don't let it touch either of you, of course.
- CAC: >Cyan: Fire plasma beams at his pistol arm?
- CCP: Try targeting the lantren if all else fails.
- CAC: No
- ?AO: Holy shit, no.
- ?AO: You aren't a murderer.
- ?AO: You once more create a shield.
- CCP: *points to 149 goblins*
- ?AO: Cyan shoots the King in the arm.
- CCP: Also, i rather unaware of certain things..
- CCP: Hence any stupidity
- ?AO: Tails. The King does not drop his gun.
- ?AO: ENEMY ATTACK.
- ?AO: The King chuckles slightly, holstering his pistol. With a swift fluorish, he draws his blade, activates the plasma edge, and leaps toward you. His lantern begins to glow slightly more than usual.
- ?AO: Fortunately, the blade bounces off the shield.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CCP: Interesting. Last time he did that, it periced.
- CCP: Keep that in mind.
- CAC: Well that trap didn't work.
- CAC: >Observe
- ?AO: He leapt over it, yeah.
- CCP: Regenerate the bubble shield's damage, postion the traps better.
- ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
- CAC: Hmm
- ?AO: Exactly halfway.
- CAC: Did he take any damage?
- ?AO: One.
- CCP: So, damage has decreased to one per strike.
- CCP: Previously, it was three.
- CCP: So, he becomes more tanky as well kill him.
- CCP: Perhaps the Gluon Destablizers drop his defense?
- CAC: >Azure: Send the traps into the king's back
- CAC: >Cyan: Make a plasma shield
- ?AO: You draw the traps into the back of the King. Tails. He notices, and sweeps his blade behind him in preparation for a strike, vaporizing all of the water with the heat of the plasma edge.
- ?AO: Cyan makes another shield.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- CAC: Goddammit
- CCP: What did you except.
- CCP: It's plasma.
- CCP: Way to hot for water.
- ?AO: With a massive one-handed strike, the greatsword of the King annihilates Cyan's shield. He kicks her in the stomach, forcing her to the ground.
- CCP: Owch.
- ?AO: The lantern begins to glow to blinding amounts as he points the blade right before her throat.
- ?AO: You have a moment to react.
- CAC: ... Oh, I thought he was huge for some reason.
- CCP: Whelp, this is gonna suck.
- CCP: Same here.
- ?AO: Nah, he's around six four-ish.
- CCP: i thought he would be kinda like the Headless Horseless Horsemann
- CCP: in size.
- ?AO: This guy is more reminiscent of Arthas to me.
- CAC: >Azure: Attack/cut off his sword arm with the plasma saw
- CAC: >Cyan: Shock to stun
- CCP: >If we have no choice but to use range weapons, aim for the arm
- CCP: I'd say aim for the hilt. but thats a small target
- ?AO: You attempt to sever the King's arm with the plasma saw. He swipes to intercept it with his blade, just as Cyan rolls out of the way and stuns him.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- CCP: get rekt
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CCP: We have a prime oppertunity to attack him here.T
- CAC: >Azure: Back away from the king and fire plasma rifle at him
- CCP: The only question is, how to exploit it
- CAC: The water shield is still up, yea?
- ?AO: It is.
- CAC: >Cyan: Hide in the bubble, fire plasma as well, using beams
- ?AO: You strike the King in the faceplate with a rifle shot. Cyan hits him in the kneecap.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: The lantern abruptly ceases glowing. Suddenly, four of the other hunks of crystal shatter, goblins crawling forth to engage you as well.
- ?AO: Satisfied, the King hooks the lantern to his belt, and draws his pistol in his off hand.
- ?AO: Then, he casually breaks your shield once more.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CCP: Observe.
- CAC: >Observe
- ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
- ?AO: Moss Rogue: █████████████ HP x4. NOTES: A short, thin goblin of some sort masked in moss and hide, wielding a plasma javelin. They seem to fade into the shadows when you aren't looking.
- CAC: Goblins have water blood, yes?
- CCP: Yes.
- ?AO: These ones appear to be dryblood elixir-veined.
- CAC: >Azure: Rip the blood out of as many goblins as possible, and use it to make a bubble shield once more
- ?AO: Possibly a side-effect of crystal hibernation.
- CAC: Oh
- CAC: Damn
- CCU: git gud
- CAC: >Azure: Send Mercury water towards you, going through or touching goblins if possible, ultimately forming a mercury bubble shield with Cyan in it
- CAC: >Cyan: Fire plasma beams at the surviving goblins
- ?AO: You form the shield. Every goblin survives. However, Cyan takes one out with a plasma beam.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: A Moss Rogue retaliates, throwing a plasma javelin into Cyan's chest. She quickly short-circuits it electrokinetically, but some damage has been done. The other two goblins fade into the shadows.
- ?AO: The Dread King approaches you.
- CAC: Did it get through the mercury?
- ?AO: It melted through, yeah. It passed a flip.
- ?AO: Shields are pretty terrible in this particular boss fight, if you hadn't noticed.
- CAC: Hmm.
- CAC: Our turn or no
- CCP: So, a more agressive stance is pefered?
- ?AO: Anyhow, he swings his blade in an attempt to decapitate you. You have a moment to react.
- CCA: ((too late))
- CCA: ((lel))
- CCU: 
- CAC: >Azure: Duck while dissolving the shield to send it at his face
- CAC: >Cyan: Parry with own plasma blade
- ?AO: The two of you essentially switch spots. Cyan blocking the blade, you pouring mercury into his face.
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CCP: Observe his HP bar
- ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt. Poisoned.
- ?AO: Moss Rogue: █████████████ HP x3. NOTES: A short, thin goblin of some sort masked in moss and hide, wielding a plasma javelin. They seem to fade into the shadows when you aren't looking. Poisoned.
- ?AO: Cyan Amaranthine: ██████████ HP.
- ?AO: Azure Lapis: ███████████████ HP.
- CAC: >Azure: Drive the plasma saw into his neck
- CCP: That explains why Cyan has such a long last name. He is compensating for how tiny his HP bar is :ms[a:
- CCP: >What he said.
- ?AO: ((Cyan is a girl.))
- CCP: ((ik))
- CAC: >Cyan: If the king moves to parry, stab him in the torso. Otherwise, hold.
- ?AO: You drive the plasma saw neck-ward.
- ?AO: Instead of going for a blade-to-blade, the King ripostes with a quick shot of his pistol into your chest. He leaps backward to avoid Cyan's blade.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: The goblin without a javelin fades into the shadows.
- ?AO: Meanwhile, the two other goblins who were in the shadows reappear, bringing the handles of their javelins around your throats, holding you in place.
- ?AO: The Dread King proceeds to shoot Cyan in the chest with his pistol as well.
- CAC: Well, damn
- CCA: ((oh shit gg m8 ur ded))
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CCP: That probably hurt. A lot.
- ?AO: Oh, yeah, definitely. Cyan is screaming in pain and everything.
- CCP: How bad is the wound.
- ?AO: I mean, just like yours, the wound is mostly superficial, as this guy is literally shooting you with ink bolts. However, poisoning is a real danger, perchance. You don't actually know. Yet.
- CAC: >Both: Use your plasma weapons to cut off the relevant goblin's arm/break the javelin
- CAC: Then back off if possible
- CAC: /switching
- CAC ceased responding to memo.
- ?AO: You both manage to break free. You actually succeed in killing your captor in the process, as well. The surviving goblin fades into the shadows.
- ?AO: ENEMY TURN.
- ?AO: The goblins do nothing in the shadows harmful to you. The King grabs Cyan by the arm, and slams her into the ground. You hear a sickening snap from her direction. The King promptly spins about, and very nearly relieves you of an arm with an incredibly swift stroke.
- CCP: rip cyan
- CCP: ready the gravestone
- ?AO: YOUR TURN.
- ?AO: ASSAULT / UTILIZE / DEFEND / ABSCOND / OBSERVE
- CURRENT absoluteCoolness [CAC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
- CAC: >Observe
- ?AO: Moss Rogue: █████████████ HP x2. NOTES: A short, thin goblin of some sort masked in moss and hide, wielding a plasma javelin. They seem to fade into the shadows when you aren't looking. Poisoned.
- ?AO: The Dread King: ██████████████████████████████ HP. NOTES: An armored being, covered in a combination of hides and solid corotite plates. Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt. Poisoned?
- ?AO: Azure Lapis: ███████████████ HP. Ink-poisoned.
- ?AO: Cyan succumbs to the bitter ink-death with a poof of white powder, reducing her to an apatite gem once more.
- CAC: Well then.
- CCP: RIPPERONI
- CCP: in
- ?AO: Grabbing her gem is a free action.
- CCP: PEPPERNOI
- CAC: >Grab it
- CCP: >grab
- ?AO: You now have Cyan's gem.
- ?AO: She'll be fine, as long as you survive.
- CCP: And don't horribly die.
- CAC: Alright...
- CAC: Why does your colour keep changing
- CAC: >Azure: Back away from the King, and use a medkit
- CCP: Because i keep leaving my color unsaved, and it's an alteration of the maroon color.
- ?AO: Hey, TC. You have just dropped in on what is quite possibly my favorite boss fight of AO thus far.
- CCP: Supposed to be a bit more fuschia.
