I'm also going to be using this plurk for running it conveniently since I'm not sure if I have everyone on my own plurk. /hijacks

Please direct all blame for things being late towards me and my cat.

Specifically my cat.

We are up, read the lead-in and jump the "step through" link when ready

braixen thelibrarian Reisen odamaki vandesdelca ceaselessly I'M CRYING LET ME DO A COMBINED ANSWER TO ALL OF YOU AT THE BOTTOM

we were all eager for alternate means THANK YOU!!!

UNIVERSAL RESPONSE: "NOPE."

lol mob of solutions

COMBINED SOLUTION!!!!

"waver what can you contribute to this" "i...can organize >("

Silver was totally willing to test their buoyancy tho

gj silver

THE POWER OF ORGANIZATION...!

they would probably have gotten us across but why walk on corpses and infect our feet with darkness if we don't have to

yeah

It does seem very avoidable

these were probably very nice people let's not

Onward

i was gonna be like HOW DO WE TRANSPORT OUT THAT MANY SHINY SHELLS and then started laughing at the image of everyone packing them into the kunzites' magic pockets

unlimited pocket works

sapphire has inventory pockets too

AW YISS SAPPHIRE

half of the group just SHOVES IN POCKETS

Onward still

it reminds you with your specialized knowledge of an ancient Athenian voting machine

see waver

you ARE useful

Yes, that is. Definitely something that none of us would've been able to figure out.

diabolicalmoe I EDITED MY TOPLEVEL SLIGHTLY

Yeah I had it in my notes as "TABLET WITH TALLY MARKS" and then I was like oh waver is here

skdjdklghHAHAHA

also I'm sorry that Weavile is a terrible go-between

"ok the plot is interesting but SHINY THINGS???"

"there's just so many"

diabolicalmoe Van and Judar were being jerks but now they're being productive and looking at stuff over here

Silver has realized something

Star found a wristwatch. Do we have... anyone with the capabilities to fix it? Or at least open it up?

waver can open it but not in a way that will keep it intact, sob

This is also Sta'rs problem, yes.

...Van, Judar, you... found a bead accessory? Star approves!

vandesdelca: oops we both picked up the amulet do you want to delete or should i

It looks like you guys are about ready to move on - is that so? <3

I... think so?

yah i think so

yes /o/

WAVER VELVET HOW DO YOU KNOW THINGS

my initial typed reply to that was 'THE GOOGLE'

waver just has a specialized wikipedia in his brain

dedicated to things NO ONE ELSE would ever know

To the church

wow this looks like a fabulous decision

somehow we went to silent hill

The Black Church as a top level immediately caused me to throw up the horns at how metal it was in name alone \m/

But Silent Hill is good too

I see a red window and I want to paint it black

>terrible eldritch symbol >everyone touches it

hey now some of us are just looking at it

(that's not any better)

some of us are poking it but only magically :3c

(we are not helping)

Now look, it's pretty much canon for Chaos;Head characters to stare at the bad end trigger that causes the destruction of the world. In fact, that's how the bad end happens in the first place.

the saddest yelling

oh noooo waver

With several people looking you can go in now

w-waver 8(

"This is a terrible way for doors to work" I laughed irl

shadow is so excited

shadow is really cute

Shadow: The Legend of Zelda Chest Opening and Getting Item ...

gfyuhkjlkjlk

YEAH BASICALLY

djksaldja

...So, if I'm to understand correctly... This was totally a cthulhu mythos cult we're going through.

cthulu-slash-hyperadvanced-alien-colonization

ia ia

yup

You could say the statues had the Innsmouth look.

I got Innsmouth right awayyyyyy

I'm glad that wasn't just in my head i think???

I'M GLAD WE WERE ALL APARENTLY THINKING LOVECRAFT IN THE BACK OF OUR HEADS

yeah, i was just wondering how much of this was a lovecraft world and how much of it was darkness corruption

though this is probably where the darkness got the lovecraftian 'look' from

When you're ready, contribute away!

diabolicalmoe I WAS WAITING FOR THE NYARUKO

Either way, we're doing pretty good for staring into the three-lobed burning eye!

Reisen GIMME ME A MOMENT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT VAN IS DOING but for your information, Selenia does not mind handholding

Yeah, that's what I thought. Star doesn't have things as elaborate, so. I can just wait.

But yes, go Van! Go forth and find the truth!

mostly Van is trying to figure out if this is a church for Darkness, though that just means he'd slightly change his tactic since keying at the source of corruption would still be a good thing to do

But ahaha... That sigil trap. Star has high resistance to illusions, but part of being a Gigalomaniac is that anything that hits your traumas is an auto-success, so. That sigil hit her hard.

HOT-BLOODED ROBOTTING

Also as you can tell we're going a tiny bit over - is that ok? Either way if you can get your bonds set up asap that'd be great so I don't keep anyone too late <33

vandesdelca thelibrarian ceaselessly We good?

everyone on this run tumbling out like "OH GOD OH GOD I HOPE NOT EVERY WORLD WE BOND WITH IS GOING TO BE MADE OF CULTISTS"

I DID MY COMMENT

i spent too long agonizing over whether or not she would even try because this world is full of weird cultists are we sure we want this

it made selenia and waver sad

LOOK, WEIRD CULTISTS ARE PEOPLE TOO

ugh sorry that comment took forever, my net went down for a second but it's there now

we're just worried they're darkness cultists ok

it's a reasonable worry

they look like darkness cultists it's a legit concern

ceaselessly: NO WORRIES

<3 oh good~

vandesdelca o/ I'm not meaning to overwrite you but I have to move forward <33

o bless, perfect timing

I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED but then my net hung up sob

I see the darkness is affecting people's net

the Darkness has control of thunderstorms now, alas

Darkness Comes Crashing In

^ braixen thelibrarian Reisen brightwinged odamaki vandesdelca ceaselessly

ah

^ my thoughts exactly

...maybe starting with the melody that beckons towards the abyss was a bad plan.

> ocean themes > trauma sigils > people being twisted out of shape as tentacled horrors bear down

You know I've decided I lied about this being turn-based combat, there's few enough people I can engage individually so I'm gonna

brightwinged: just imagine Rider being like HA HA AH YEAH OCEANUS. YOU WILD, OCEANUS.

how's that going for you, waver

> also, anthropological inconsistency

the world of waver velvet screaming internally, forever

hang in there waver

wow I sure returned to a thing

sorry for being gone, BACK

this may or may not be the plot of suikoden tactics

my web died again but is fixed now am i too late

You're not too late! This should end soonish but enough time to get a few things in for sure

odamaki: amazingly I have not played that

diabolicalmoe I haven't either. I just know it through fannish osmosis. And after I typed that I was like "wait did that really happen in that game?"

yes

That's amazing. I'm amazed.

...well then.

i still have an unplayed copy of tactics laying around /eyes it

If you have anything left to do here's the place otherwise we're done :>

seems like the most appropriate emote for this

vandesdelca I. YEAH.

...Star has never had the true opportunity to cut loose and just. Slaughter. She seriously needs treatment for her injuries, but right now? She doesn't care at all~

there anything people are gonna be doing btw let me know oocly too o/

Oh, right. I should have star investigate the sea stench again. After she's calmed down, presumably.

diabolicalmoe i think waver at least will...try to plant a spare hope seed in a moment...

idk if anyone brought hope seeds or w/e

brightwinged: o/ that answers that question

apple's probably gonna--yes that

I hope you guys do plant one in the church.

so that it can be like

but eldritch horror

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[tentacle vines sprout] [aather's heroes shriek]

Star is blowing a dandelion hope seed over the sea, most likely. Yes.

we've all been sufficiently traumatized by the world already

odamaki: hi5 ♪♪

Also thank you so much for playing in this. It was really fun and everyone's ic reactions really made me feel in-tune with the genre and it was super exciting for me '^'

zazzle

diabolicalmoe THANK YOU FOR RUNNING

AND YES THANK YOU FOR RUNNING, IT WAS REALLY FUN

Yes, thank you for running so much! It's always fun to explore Lovecraftian environments. Especially with a crazy person. <3

THANK YOU FOR RUNNING!!!

<333!!! I'm stepping away for a bit to stretch but will be back to finish up any running things in a lil bit like hope seeds (spoilers: They will take) and so on <33

Tuesday's run makes Haru and I cry even more so

Hopefully I can live up to the bar she's set

diabolicalmoe THANK YOU FOR RUNNING AND ALL THE FUN OPPORTUNITIES

<333

diabolicalmoe: thank you for running this really was a pleasure to be a part of

THANK YOU FOR RUNNING, it was fun gosh

Thank you guys //// now I have one more to write and I've got them all done to hand out to your next game runners

Star sending the dandelion hope seed over the sea, because I know that one was kind of nested. That's the last thing Star's doing there, really.

braixen i gotta run for the night but we can gently handwave gardening antics before they head out :3

brightwinged okay yay that is cool! gentle jellyfish handwaves

Reisen: I got it :>
