Trust between Jumper and Jumpmaker, also UMINEKO SPOILERS

AKA what the balls did I just read?


Q1: What does the magic of shitposting even do?

A: It's literally meme magic. Especially effective when empowered by black truths.













Q2: How did you take down Featherine?

A: Well, that's mainly what this is for. The unspoken agreement in jumpchain that events can be explained with perks, strategems and assorted advantages is hard-pressed to fit in a piece of writing this long. And unfortunately beacuse of how the source material was presented, the build ended up not having enough room to explain it's own ending.

So that's what this is for.

For ease of reading, paragraphs focusing on one important sequence of events or reasoning will be spaced out from each other. Crucial points will have a TL;DR at the end to summarise the net gain from them.

Some of the most dense paragraph-clusters will be about infrastructures. The processes those infrastructures are used for will be denoted with a caret (^).












The elements are ultimately the same as any assassination: Location, opportunity, delivery. The confrontation will involve magic of EXTREME danger with narrative aspects, and so required measures must include steps taken to reinforce one's existence: This pastebin (https://pastebin.com/vu8iWdwQ) outlines steps taken to emulate the Primordials (and the Daystar's power) even further than the Devil-Tigers do, such that my core self can be defined solely through a multitude of Charms. Notable advantages include selective intangibility, reaction times determined by conceptual primacy instead of finite neurons and the charm technologies used to create Incarnae.

Narrative resilence is vital, because of the ease by which witches can shape reality without being noticed. By now, Namer (A Practical Guide to Evil) should have been used to grant each subsidiary soul appropriately powerful roles-so that as their greater whole, I have a vast amount of storytelling leverage. Wordbound: Narrativium (In Nomine) allows me to evoke effects based on the convention of stories itself. Talecrafting from Changeling manipulates probability in order to increase the likelihood of tropes and archetypes manifesting. Once modified by the Flask Plan to avoid dissipating beneficial coincidence, Devil Style (Medaka Box) will prove invaluable against probability-affecting attacks from Featherine's assistant witches. A more abstract boon is found in Devil Survivor 2, Digital Devil Sagas 1 and 2, possibly Soul Hackers and especially Devil Survivor 1 (Bels and Whistles): The power of Observation possesed by humans, which gives structureand  form to the inchoate, and can degrade some of the most powerful beings in the Expanse into weaker forms or distort them (http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Observation); based on it's explaination, Blazblue's own Observation (or abilities that enhance it https://pastebin.com/79h9mHA9) are likely to accelerate the process through continuum shifts. And finaly, Synchronicity Wave Travelling (DC Occult) grant control over beneficial coincidences to such a degree a less experienced user bluffed his own creator deity.

For added protection, the following combo is required to enhance this form's potential. Cthonic Baara of the Ur-Beast/Elders of the Pact (Exalted: Lunars) allows this and every other form I can access to "constantly evolve and refine itself for battle", while Go Further Beyond (Dragonball Multiverse) allows ever-stronger forms based on spiritual energy to be achieved. Heroic Tempring (Exalted: Mortal Gauntlet) enhances actions/defenses brought forth into a singular ideal, while Lord of Shattered Mirrors Understanding and Unassailable Tower of the Adamant Soul from the same jump harden one's narrative selfgood into a tangible locale. Page of Void allows one to build one's identity around external concepts, events and experiences. Mu (Exalted: Infernals) permits one to devise unreal alternate forms for oneself, while Border of Impossibility from the same jump increase the likelihood of the unlikely. Karmatron Dynamics (GUNNM) provides a field of science that imposes directives on seemingly chaotic systems such that thermodynamics-defying nanites can be created-which combined with Primordial Psychology (Infernals) will greatly assist in guiding Primordial self-improvement. And finally, Spiral Energy (Gurren Lagann) provides a type energy that causes closed systems to improve, trending towards the creation of mass and energy from nothing as well as significant probability distortions.

Therefore, all these abilities used together will have two benefits: The first, being the direct strengthening of one's own personal narrative resilience as a passive defence, up to and including Red or Gold Truths located in the setting. The second, being the ability to develop new heights of conceptual improvement based on the brute force of evolutionary struggle as well as any useful concepts in the setting, all guided by Spiral Energy-culminating in the determination of an idealised but impossible form which is then defined by Mu as a fixed proof of concept. The latter will prove useful later on.

Finally, the VOID title (A Practical Guide to Evil) will be invaluable because while Featherine's scrying skills are undetermined, a lack of evidence for agency will preclude any impetus to deliberately search for covert preparation. At any rate, that Featherine does not appear to know what is in the Catbox seems to indicate her knowledge is qualitatively finite.











The operation itself will be preceeded by a Mariage Sorciere: A pact between magic users shown to inconsistently enhance members of the groups' powers (http://umineko.wikia.com/wiki/Mariage_Sorciere). While I lack the relevent perk, the perks Full Circle (Dragon Age: Inquisition) which synchronises combined magic to create an effect greater than the sum of the individual spells and Outside Help (DC Occult) which enhances magic gained from outside power are used to ensure mutual mystic enhancement between myself and the other practitioners. Apart from upping general competence, this effect along with Soulfire (Dresden Files) will be used to enhance the Inner Universe spell (Magical Girl Noir Quest) to create 3 Furniture-simulacrae of the participents, as well as my scythe. Each of them will be further enhanced with the Ebon Dragon Charms Loom-Snaring Deception/Eldritch Secrets Mastery as an additional precaution, so that the participents can seemingly interact with the Game Board in truth while safely positioned in the Beyond.

Also, this synchronisation will be used to merge the inner world that represents my narrative resilience with both my Territory, and the Golden Land itself using When Worlds Collide (The Old Kingdom), in order to give the bedrock of my identity a foothold in something beyond myself. This will be performed in the Beyond (described further below), which is everchanging enough for the island to physically manifest.

Two of the participants will undergo specific enhancements:

-Ange: By combining EX-ranked High Speed Divine Words with the First, Third (Sorcerer's Apprentice, Fate/Stay Night) and Second (Zelretch's Student, Prisma Illya) True Magics, a more refined kaleidostick has been created for her use. Within the Game Board's confines, this will enable her to access the possibility of herself where she was summoned by Bernkastel's skills, which benefit from being from the future-having a conceptual advantage against targets in the present because of existing rules

-Maria: By enhancing Procrastinator technology (Monk of History, Discworld) with the Correspondence (Fallen London), a mechanically similar transtemporal mechanism will grant Maria the skills and understanding of a Creator to optimise her nascent potential.

TL:DR Perks/items are used to buff all involved magic users/master magic quicker













The next step is location. As the creator and ruler of the City of Books (a library that stores worlds as books), Featherine possess extramultiversal influence considered exceedingly powerful by other beings capable of migrating between planes of existences with infinite possibilities. Conspiring to attack her from practically any location in existence is therefore EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. To address this, the attack will be mounted from a region that does not technically exist.

The Beyond has been described as Exalted developer John Morke as a state of mind as much of a place that forges reality from chaos by perceiving the incomprehensible and unknown (http://nobilis.me/quotes:the-beyond) which has not been contradicted. The Artful Temple (Exalted: Infernals) offers a staging ground from which to operate within the Beyond. Additionally, the perks Primordial Psychologist, Mu and Border of impossibility respectively assist in operating within it by providing insight into Primordial thought processes (as the only known being to consistently use the Beyond as a forge was considered unknowable even by Primordial standards) and pre-Creation lore to cross-reference any possible interactions with the physical world it may have, as well as directly interacting with it's nature.

(The Artful Temple in this scenario is further improved in order to optimise it's capacity to manipualte the Beyond; only the relevant enhancements will be described for brevity. Through the expenditure of immense magical energy (Magical Blood, Justice League Dark), not only are the Houses of Mystery and Secrets (Justice League Dark are reformed into a singular house with the Temple at it's center, to enhance the houses' abilities to traverse layers of reality. The spell Solar Sanctuary has been amplified by Creation's most powerful mystic catalysts (The Eye of Autocthon and the Primordial King's shadow) as well as Abyss of Magic (Overlord) in order to then shape an arbitrarily vast manse-network. Using Primordial Psychologist to then develop/discover equivalents of Constructive Convergence of Principles and Bestowal of Accursed Fortune to both restructure the manses with the Temple as it's Synergistic Overmind-nexus, and create the likely-exotic resources/automatons needed to maintain it.)

The point of the above is that in this scenario, the temple is not only a nexus for traversing existence at rapid speeds, but also a sorcerous hotbed specialised in manipulating the Beyond to achieve impossibilities.

This section is relevant because Featherine is usually found observing the events of the jump from a "higher" reality, and mounting a successful attack on her will require surveillance at all levels of reality. The manses Qlithu-Sohtk (Exalted: Sidereals) and A Whisper Upon The Wind (Exalted: Lunars) aka Phyre will be invaluable as surveillance operatives moved within the Temple to provide surveillance/blessings/misc. logistic support during the operation. Prior to this plot, it is assumed Qlithu and Phyre have been upgraded into Incarnae.

TL:DR: This thing lets me hide, navigate the Sea of Fragments and other metaphysical locations, keep an eye on Featherine and manipulate things with questionable existence.






^Initially the Necrotelecomicon (Discworld) will be used to make contact with the Eiserne Jungfrau. Authority of Space (Chroma Squad) and Arch-Angel (Seven Deadly Sins) will then be used to requisition the Red Key from them. From within the Beyond, Guru (Chrono Trigger), Genius (Rick and Morty) and the Weapons Recombination Template (FF13-2) will be used to fuse the Red Key with the Black Scythe. The combined talents of Artifactory (Dragonlance) and I Cheat (Justice League Dark) will also be used to conjugate aspects of the weapons' effects with each other, such that the miracle-killing Black Scythe can be empowered by absorbing additional Black Truths, and the defence-bypassing Red Key can be used to bypass defences by simultaneously targetting continuous targets associated with the defence.

By using the House's transdimensional travel, Phyre/Qlithu's talents, the First Magic (Fate) the Beyond and Magical Blood (Justice League Dark), an astral manifestation of Featherine's origin will be created within the Beyond by being "summoned" from the Sea of Origin. Within Umineko's setting, this abstract location is the origin and the end of all things-and as such, both Worldwalker's capacity to mentor metaphysical zones (Dresden Files) and Lady MARIA's talents will likely be needed in order to create such an aperture, which is likely to resemble the Arch of Undreamt Eternities (Lands of Creation, p. 125-127) due to the "location's" conceptuality.

Last but not least, Cantrips (Obsidian Trilogy) will be used to enchant the Scythe-Key with the strongest known magic provided by On The Wings of Golden Herons (Kubo and the Two Strings): The enforcement of mortality upon immortal beings. While Always An Ending (Exalted: Sidereals) guarantees a fated weak point for this spell to exploit, it falls to beings such as Qlithu and a Devil-Tiger specialised for Samsara manipulation to make use of it. In turn, I Cheat (Justice League Dark) will be used to empower that effect with the combined might of the Mariage as well as Adamant Circle Sorcery and other equivalent effects contributed by the other associates. Aspect: Stasis (Lord of Light), the Third Magic (Fate) and Soulfire (Dresden Files) will be combined to endow the spell with a perpetually self-reinforcing amount of mystic reinforcement

The goal of this measure is to target the Scythe-Key at Featherine's origin.









^^
Additionally, a safeguard for one's own existence will be created. The Wedding Band of the Scarlet Bride (p. 198-199, Manual of Exalted Power: Infernals) is a copy of the Ebon Dragon's Charms forged from one of his own souls. Crucially, because it explicitly contains ALL his Charms this would logically include his Cosmic Principle, Excellencies, Worldshaper Assumption and Epic Panoply-concepts which make up the selfhood of the Ebon Dragon himself. Both Primordial Psychologist and Vitriolic Craftsman (Exalted: Infernals) will be needed to understand the principles behind such a feat before attempting to emulate it through one's own Charms.

Magical Blood (JLD), Soulfire (Dresden Files), Page of Void (Sburb) and Outside Help/Greatest Magician Of The Age (DC Occult) offer an even greater upgrade for these creations. To begin with, the Maldacena Paradox provides that a part of someone's soul can be reconstituted into a whole. Soulfire was revealed in Cold Days to not only be powered by the user's soul, but their very concept and existence. Elvish Enchantment (LOTR) allows the creation of artifacts from the crafter's soul which surpass their own power, much as Sauron did with the One Ring. Finally, Pages of Void are able to redefine and absorb their existence on a conceptual level with other concepts of indeterminable scope. Thus by using a Virtue's (SMT) power, MARIA's origin manipulation can be used to mystically associate one's concept to the Sea of Origin itself, then use Soulfire and the Paradox to forge both the concept of the Sea of Origins itself and the soul-scrap into the artifact mentioned above-which Outside Help enhances to a feat of magic greater than the sum of it's parts, while Magician ensures the mystic power is of the highest quality. It is recommended I Cheat (JLD) be used in order to provide samples of one's devas as well to avoid drastic personality changes when this phylactery is utilised. The resulting artifact will be placed in the Temple's borders. As the aforementioned conjoinment of True Magics and HSDW ensures a healthy supply of spiritual matter, it is highly recommended multiple such conceptual phylacteries be created as backups. As a final note, Craft: Genesis technology should be used to ensure such artifacts have a tangible life of their own, for optimal storage.

We now return attention to the perfected Beyond-light selves mentioned earlier in this plot, which are by now practically Platonic ideals of all the concepts evolved through Cthonic Baara. Great Red's power to make dreams real (Legacy of the Great War, Highschool DxD) and an Ikki Tousen dragon's power over the Japanese element of void (Borrowing the Elements/The Dragon Wakes/Isshoukenmmei) i.e. spiritual, supernatural events will be used to increase the tangibility of their existence, while Outside Help (DC Occult) is used to reinforce them with the magic of this world. Combined with A Monster's Strength (Tower of God), the Thorn Forged to Kill Kings (Tower of God), Orgone Extractor (Super Robot Wars), Mark of a Crimson King (Samurak Deeper Kyo) for mystical energy control, these forms will have Primordial essence channeled through them so that if inhabited, they will naturally coalesce into each other as a unified whole greater than the sum of it's parts.

The final step to this countermeasure will be to create a Miracle Shell (i.e. a shinmaic calibration with the potential to affect all of existence) and bring it into being. While a Miracle Shell alone can be done through an equivalent to the Shinmaic Calibration Charm, bringing one into existence inconsistantly requires Adamant Circle Sorceries or Lore Charms. As both are likely needed, 4 Devil-Tigers and 1 Twilight Caste will assist in engineering this miracle-which will be set with the condition to go off in the event of my absolute defeat's confirmation. Witches, Incarnae and Exalts will all empower the shell (Full Circle, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Outside Help, DC Occult, and Dual Art, Castlevania). This miracle shell will cause my artifacts to function as elemental pole-like grounding rods for my almost-unreal Beyond-forms, allowing me to reconstitute myself into an even more powerful entity in the event of my erasure from existence.

TL;DR Charm-storing artifact-phylacteries and backup bodies made of unreality, so that when Featherine strikes me down I will only become more powerful than she can imagine







Related to the above is the central weapon deployment system is the Scriptorium of Fantasy Penned, which will be used in order weaponise a central element of the Game Board: The Golden Truth, a force equivalent to the Red Truth but conditionally able to surpass it. The following upgrades are relevant for this assassination:

-The Library of Eternity (DC Occult): By planting the manse at the center of this library, the manse has close access to virtually all written information within the setting. While the City of Books remains out of bounds, an unknown quantity of other catboxes/fragments with significant literary features will thus be encompassed by the Library in written form.
-Creative Composer (Unsounded), the Correspondence (Fallen London), Trigram Knowledge/Mastery (Journey to the West), and Simple/Advanced Formulae (FMA): Each of these writings will be used to inscribe the names of the Shinma at this manse's boundaries, rendering it a very condusive area for creating Shinmaic miracles by symbolically representing their presence
-Writ of Worlds (Exalted: Infernals)+Abyss of Magic/Dark Wisdom (Overlord)+Painting Worlds (Dark Souls 3): Similar to the Artful Temple, an overloaded Solar Sanctuary spell will be used to create a vast manse-network to vastly improve the Scriptorium's processes. Unlike it, this network will take the form of painted literature for ease of storage
-True Librarian (Discworld): L-Space consists of an extradimensional network connecting all libraries with sufficiently dense or significant pieces of literature. Coupled with the factors listed above, this means the Scriptorium doubles as a secondary dimensional nexus from which other Fragments may be accessed

TL;DR This thing creates literary representations of Fragments/Catboxes considered "average" or sub-par throughout the Sea of Fragments. This likely includes the Golden Land and the Lord JUMPER territory.

^In the Science of Discworld books, Discworld wizardry has proven sufficiently advanced that one of the most prestigious magical universities built a computation system capable of scanning the infinite possibilities of a universe without magic-built on a fairly small budget. Guru (Chrono Trigger) will provide the necessary insights for emulating the Hex system, while using Worldwalker (Dresden Files) to claim the Library it inhabits as a DF-style demesne will make arcane actions much more efficient. This setup will be used to isolate and identify all conceivable Red and Golden Truths within the Game Board; the Red Truths will be funneled towards the Key mentioned earlier, while the Golden Truths will serve a different purpose.

^^The Magic Found In Stories (Innstrad) denotes a magic system that creates effects catalysed from significant narratives. The listed pastebin includes my acquisition of Prince Laashe's narrative-one in where after being struck down by the Unconquered Sun in all his anger, he became a force that nearly defeated him. Rumormonger (Persona) denotes the ability to actualise supernatural events by socially influencing the Collective Unconsciousness. Writ of Worlds (Exalted: Infernals) provides the means to create functional objects out of literature-a process which is expedited by the Scriptorium; in the first age, a Solar developed a personal language whose syllables functioned as a prayer to himself, and so it stands to reason a N/A artifact designed from calligraphy of perfected precision would reach even greater heights, when functioning as a spell component-and the Golden Truths will be incorporated into this artifact as part of a revised continuation of Laashe's history that includes one's own apotheosis using him as a component. Other Charm technologies somewhat akin to the Primordial King's will ensure the story is otherwise VERY appealling and persuasive to readers.

Conjoination (Cardcaptor Sakura) of the First/Second/Third Magics and HSDW results in a magic system that can not only actualise existing concepts and concentrate quantities of magical energy, skills or other intangible things from across universes, but also empower such efforts with immense amounts of spiritual energy at the quality of the Age of Gods; while not strictly necessary, an EX NP that empowers magecraft can only bolster such an effort. Incidentally, such prowess will allow the creation and use of an Imaginary Numbers conceptual space, shown in Fate/Extra to allow for the processing of information that would otherwise take an "infinite" length of time.

Crucially, Discworld magic includes sympathic effects complex enough to shape planets from an expanding newborn universe. Therefore not only is the goal of this setup to create a powerful artifact-Mystic Code-narrative to serve as a mystic catalyst that benefits from all aspects of the True Magics and HSDW, but also to mass produce it using all the Scriptorium's facilities and distribute it to every world that can be reached by L-Space in order to create a powerful amount of narrative potentiality. The spell will be a blessing with the effect of restoration into a form suited for defeating that which defeated the subject earlier. As an ideal container for the Third Magic (Refined Lesser Grail/Wishcraft, Prisma Illya), the effects of this spell will be channeled towards my artifact/Beyond-body surrogates to metaphysically nourish them in preparation.

TL;DR The same story copied and told at every location reachable by L-space is used to supercharge what is basically a meme magic blessing, and also tilt the collective unconsciousness of the Sea of Fragments towards believing in impossible victory.














Unfortunately, this plan of attack will require my continued presence in the Game Board to maximise chances of success for both plausibility and misdirection, in order to minimise chances of suspicious behavior. To compensate, the following perks may allow a degree of free movement from Featherine's detection: VOID (A Practical Guide to Evil) for mystic concealment, and A Direction Without A Name (Zendikar) as well as Magnificent Bastard (No More Heroes) for conceptual travel that may take beings who do not know to look for it off-guard. While implausible, for some reason higher beings such as Witches appear to have human-like reaction times (at least from the perspective of other meta-beings such as witches and sorcerers, of which I am one) and habits such as overconfidence-otherwise Battler would not have been able to actually duel Bernkastel on multiple occassions.

Attacking Featherine head on is more likely than not to result in total retroactive cessation of existence of the part of me she can perceive. Attacking Featherine from an indirect angle runs the risk of her manually detecting and exploiting the angle from which she is being attacked; even with abilities such as Bait of Babylon (TOME), Synchronicity Wave Travelling (DC Occult) and Powered by Laughter (Space Station 13), [MELODY] (/co/co) and Joker Immunity (Batman: TAS) ensuring a threshold of safety from careless reality restructuring. Based on the overconfidence exhibited by Witches during the canon events of Umineko, the only plausible gambit is therefore attacking from multiple layers of reality-using one's own defeat as an opening.

As said defeat occurs, the following steps should be taken using the aforementioned preparations:


1. Through the Mariarge, Miss Fortune's (Sailor Moon) effect should be deployed on the Scythe-Key, so that it strike's Featherine's conceptual origin without fail. As Featherine in her present state is preserved by the memory device on her head, the scythe will thus attack her through it, preventing her from using her full power by compromising her mental faculties.

2. The co-conspiraties, remaining in the Beyond, will then activate the remaining countermeasures. As the miracle shell and story spell are activated, use Time For A Comeback (Majikoi) to shed any remaining side effects of reality erasure. Using Worldwalker (Dresden Files), use the Library of Eternity's City of Books copy to return to Featherine's location through Nevernever travel.

3. Up until now, the perks Apotheosis (Baten Kaitos), Two Can Play That Game (Asura's Wrath), The Noble Eightfold Path (Lord of Light), Heretic (Seven Deadly Sins) have been sidelined for lack of relevant leverage. If all proceeds as intended, the most powerful arsenal right now should be my reborn charmset. The following abilities are also considered to likely work well against this particular target:

To exploit Featherine's distressed state, defence-bypassing abilities such as the Dragon Stream (Devil Survivor 2), mental assaults such as Master of Mind (DOTA 2), Ineffable (Evangelion), Memory Eater (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles) or Ruinous Impulse (FF14) and powerful astral dissipation techniques such as Soulfire-empowered Ra Tilts are crucial because of the self-image based immortality higher beings in Umineko benefit from-which conversely mean ego death is the actualised loss of immortality.

Any relevant spiritual enhancement perks (Ridiculous Power, Dragonball AF; Stone in a River/All Is One, Dragonball; A Rare Genius, Dragonball Z) should be channelled through the Correspondence (Correspondence Course, Fallen London) along with supernatural energy control abilities (Thorn Forged to Kill Kings, Tower of God; Orgone Extractor, Super Robot Wars; Mark of a Crimson King, Samurak Deeper Kyo) as a reality-enforcing kiai attack-for which purpose, I had become a Judgement-hivemind in Fallen London by collecting souls to enhance with the Third Magic and then using Ineffable (Evangelion) to network them into my metaphysical nature.

Anti-magic infusions such as Element of Mystery (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles) are also likely to prove effective at this stage. Both forms of Observation will be VITAL to prevent Featherine escaping/restoring by resetting herself to an inchoate state where she can reassemble. Above all else, any and all paranomal senses should be kept alert until Featherine's manifestations have been eliminated, AND her thought processes have ceased.








Q3: What did you mean by this? What was the point?

A: Roland Barthes wrote an essay called The Death of the Author in 1967, which argues a piece of writing and it's creator's intentions should be held separate, because of the writer's inability to perfectly convey said intentions through prose alone. I struggled for a while to come up with a satisfying build, until I rememebered it from that one Princess Bride jump, and noticed that the Catbox jump's notes effectively enforce death of the author. Amongst other things, the revelation that "Battler" was ultimately as much a figment of the man calling himself Tooya Hachijo as Featherine was a figment of Ikuko Hachijo raised some serious existential questions about what the reality of magic implied for the poor buggers' sanity. Or for that matter, a sequence of drawbacks in the predecessor jump which indicated:

a) I was an inexplicable survivor (Game Piece)

b) I had some level of agency in the person Beatrice grew out of as a figment's trauma despite ostensibly not being an actual person at the time, given the character No One is based on was either dead or the creation of Bernkastel (Forgotten Promise), and-

C) The complete reinvention of the canonical tragedy (Theory Herd) resulting in the background being interpreted as the incarnation of the rogue theory that embodied the jump's premise itself.

I therefore got the idea for Jumper Me's build by taking the journey of a self-insert risking identity death in a premise made of existential paradoxes to it's ultimate metaphorical conclusion: A very literal death of the author.


also holy shit what /am/ I doing with my time and energy
