You could accept their help if you want, but let me just warn you, they haven't explained how exactly they will help you, and might lead you to do things you won't agree on.

Not that I don't trust them, but I've had my fair share of experiences where I've taken someone's help without knowing exactly what they would do, and they either betray me, do something inhumane that I disagree with, or use me as a tool or puppet to further their own personal gain while leaving me with the short end of the stick and not actually care about my well being.

If it were me, I would ask more questions like how will they help you, what your role would be if you take their help, what risks are involved, that kind of stuff.

Well, good luck with that. If the eggy hatches before you break it, you might not want to be seen by the newborn. You wouldn't want any weird duckys or some other weird creature imprint on you and think your its mother... unless you want a pet. I dunno, do you want a pet? I want a pet. A pet doggy to be exact...

Okay, stop. We've been acting rather silly about this whole thing but it's getting too freaky for me to ignore. Just stop for one second, let's analyze your situation you got a weird package with an egg in it, offered to you by a shady person in a mask, and it took a fucking crowbar to finally break it open, and when you did there is blood and brains and the shady person in a mask is adamant that you need to finish. What is going on? I question everything here, and I don't recommend you continue until someone tells you just what it is you are doing and why.

But I'm more concerned in the fact that they still use VHS technology and not something like dvds, or blu-ray or Dropbox or something. Didn't VHS go extinct recently? Time to get with the times.

>>
No. 828764 ID: ae9b99

Suggestors note: Cracked empty canister Dreamwalker was inside of, and spirit parasite. I am hoping the Spirit Parasite(s) we faced didn't survive somehow, or that it is not about one of its friends. Ana and her voices has enough enemies to deal with on their plate, and not enough friends with them to even the odds.

But knowing how things are going, the story is most likely going to be about that.

Also, throughout this thread, I've been keeping my name as the default "Suggestion". It could either be Fortune Ana staying anonymous, or it might be a totally different voice altogether. All depends on what will happen in this thread, I guess. Hope you don't mind. If you do, I'll switch the name back.

I think I know a way we can find out if it's really Anthony or not, call his bluff. If Anthony is still in the compound then it's the spirit parasite, and if Anthony did step out well, we can figure that out as it goes.

Look, radio back in they'll tell you I just stepped out for a while, just needed some air.

somehow missed your post. Sorry. I don't think I was planning on it be Nathaniel. I see him as just a regular ordinary human without any magical abilities, so he wouldn't really be a voice here. Even if he did have that ability, I don't think he would even bother wanting to be here. He'd probably be too busy with other things. Plus, he'd rather stay out of trouble and not pick sides. It is none of his business.

...

At most, I imagine Nathaniel as a self taught lucid dreamer though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream. I wonder what Dreamwalker's reaction would be if he discovers Nathaniel has been lucid dreaming his way out of, and taking control of the nightmares dreamwalker has been giving him as revenge for him being part of Root's organization. I'm sure it would be hilarious. Dreamwalker would probably be pissed off or something


a moment of silence for the parasite. Unfortunately, it was in her natural instincts to make others suffer gravely in order for her species to keep on living. Even if she had good intentions, future generations would not of, and would have destroyed this universe. If only she didn't have to live her life as a parasite.

Don’t make me laugh old man. The over deity of the universe couldn’t hold me, you honestly think I am afraid of whatever you can do? And it is Ana I came to talk with you about. And I only have one small warning, you had best do you damned best to take care of her... For now.

By all means do what you feel is necessary. But if you don’t do what is in her best interest I may have to return here and believe me when I say, I don’t want to repeat what I did to you in another timeline.

Oh... gracious me? Was a raving? Please forgive me. I’m mad. Where was I? Oh yes, treat Ana like you would your own daughter, maybe even tell this old windbag who it was that saved his crusty ass from Maya. Or not. For now just take care of her. Soon enough, you can do with her as you please. Now if you don’t mind I’m going to place a phone call to an old friend. Maybe I’ll even pay her a visit now that I have a foothold in the material realm. I think this windbag was about to execute her, thank you for saving her. But maybe you should let him walk home.

Hee hee hee,

Don't worry, I won't stay long, Mr Ambassador, but aren't you curious as to why this spirit who was summoned by the Ash Tree wanted you to immediately contact that rabbit?

I noticed she didn't even tell you why. How predictable. Perhaps she is scared of what you might do if you heard, or she wants to further the Ash Tree's goals.

Scarred spirit who wears Ana's image, I'll give you a chance to explain to him what you've almost done to Ana.

As far as your question of why I didn't do anything at the time goes, I tried to do something

but you and Robbit wouldn't let me in to send that painting into the void. Robbit's place was closed off to me

For why I'm here, I'm helping you all be more honest to each other. You voices shouldn't be keeping secrets from your allies, just like how I'm sure the Ambassador has been keeping secrets from you, and keeping secrets from Lorence. And I wonder if Lorence is keeping secrets from the Ambassador

But I might as well declare it right now, I'm not too fond of anybody here in this room. Lorence for being part of a cult that uses the Ash tree for power and immortality, you voices for being summoned and manipulated by the ash tree to further his goals of mayhem by having Ana get involved in this war, and now the Ambassador as he just insinuated that he is associated with the tree.

One way or another, you fools are just the Ash tree's pawns to spread his chaos upon the world

whether you realize it or not

Which is why I'm considering getting Lorence's attention and get some secrets revealed from each of you.

or perhaps because it will be good for a quick laugh

Oh dear, uh... so loud

careful, you might just break the Ambassador's concentration

but I wonder if you'll have that same opinion of me after you and Ana hears what robo Bugs Bunny has to say about how this all began

that is assuming he doesn't alter the facts and spew lies in the story

...probably not,

The tree is most likely prepared for that possibility in some way

Well, none of you will probably listen or believe me when I say this but my advice to everyone here, don't trust that cursed Ash Tree. Don't think for one second that he has good intentions for anyone. He may claim to be neutral,

but he still is a sick freak. For all you know, he may have implanted false memories to make you think you were a hero in a fabricated "past life" as you put it, just to make you want to lead Ana to the same goal you thought you achieved, but instead having her go in a road of destruction as the tree want her to take in this pointless war... all to watch the world burn

inner thoughts: hm hm hm... I must admit, I didn't think she would tell the truth. Well then, while the loud scarred one and Mr. Skull Head are distracted arguing, I'm interested in what auto piloted Mr. Skull Head and the annoyed masked guy is talking about.

inner thoughts: maybe I'll pick up some kind of gem in their conversation. also I wonder if the large silent girl can hear my voice... perhaps I should maybe... if I silently and carefully...

pssst...

loud scarred one: scarred Ana.
annoyed masked guy: Lorence.

Actually I don’t think he’s very comfortable at all.

He looks more like a prisoner to me. I doubt he is very happy. But who knows maybe someone there can help him feel better. Besides what fun is it poking at a bug that’s already in a jar?

Oh absolutely, but no one ever likes to think of themselves as "The bad guy" I've found there's always some argument that people strive for in terms of justification. Morality exists in the eyes of their beholder.

But at the end of the day we are what we are. I am a monster who gets off at the sight of suffering and let someone be hurt because of a some stupid prize I thought I was gonna get, and you are a bad person because you've made no effort to change yourself when you hurt people and simply love to do the wrong thing to the right people.

I don't think that's the right question, though. The bigger one is, is it too late to change, or is it just our nature? Meh, whatever, I'm not really one to banter philosophy.

You’ll get no arguments from me about pain and suffering making us human, but I doubt she see’s pain brought to you as a means to an end. If you want my opinion, what motivates her is redemption, not trying to kill you.

The only part we differ on is the Trembling Chihuahua.

suggestors note: So I know this one was supposed to have a boss fight at the end of it, that can still happen, I fail to see a reason why it can’t. Okay so she knows that Scarred Ana is here, and been here this whole time and even spun her for a huge loop, okay so what if the boss fight happens now? And like I said I already had the impression she had begun to figure things out on her own, if not oh well, hopefully my coplayer has a chance to jump in now, I feel like I’ve been taking center stage for a while now.

>>
No. 850860 ID: ae9b99

But to consider one thing, Absurdity did hint to get off sinking ships... this might actually be the solution as weird as it sounds, this chapter is a sinking ship, Absurdity is warning us to get off it.

hmmmmm. to my co player, do you think this is actually a huge puzzle and the solution is to not continue with this chapter, or do you want me to continue in your place? take one for the team?

Yeah I’m pretty much done, I can’t continue in any way that is see as being constructive to the plot or even finding a way to save this. The only winning move here for me is to not play, abandon ship.

No. 850882 ID: ae9b99

Okay. I'm fine with either choice, but since this was hard on you, I'll respect your decision. Lets go ahead and abandon this sinking ship, and move on to the next chapter.

Uh, we should end it like, right now at this moment, before she pulls the trigger. leave it at this position. We do not have to see the aftermath once we leave Essence, and Flint. It will be funnier, and more mysterious that way.

Please accept our apologies, Cleo. Maybe another time you'll get your chance to shine in a chapter.

Alllrighty then, now lets think about who the next character will be focused on... Oh I know...

Surgery... With a gun shot?

Christ on a fucking bicycle, Essence I knew you were dumb, but not THIS level of stupid. Alright time to educate you on how a FUCKING GUN works!

Firstly, you would have to shoot through a tv to get to that skull which runs the risk of getting shrapnel lodged in his brain along with whatever you are trying to shoot out. And while you may hit it, the exit wound would be SIGNIFICANTLY BIGGER than the entry wound. So yeah you'd take out his Memories, along with his FUCKING BRAIN!

That wasn’t what I meant by my previous question. You said people could die on this mission. What concerns me if that if I chose to do nothing are people going to die regardless of whether or not I had chosen to act? And had I acted albeit with great risk, could those deaths have been prevented? I wasn’t really concerned with the reward. For me, the reward would be preventing death of characters I like. Basically it comes down to this:
Try and fail, it’s not my fault that people got killed
Don’t try and it still fails: it’s all my fault.

If you can answer that last question, then I can give you a definitive answer.

And I’m not really sure how I can answer this question in a way that isn’t a yes or no answer. Look here’s my answer, if people are going to be hurt regardless of whether or not I accept and if can help them, then yes. But if I run the risk of people getting killed because I chose to act, then no... But I have a feeling you can’t tell me that...


Alright LETS DO THIS!

So basically, it is like the trolley problem (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-trolley-problem), except there is a chance that either we will get more casualties than if we decided not to, or less depending on how we play, and if we fail or not.

Well, I'm used to failure at this point. And failure is a better teacher than success. Lets do it.

Shit... I don't like where this is going. Laura get behind me. I'm going to show you something you can do as well one day. I already laid these out earlier but watch this.

11 wards, and 11 wards reversed. Old dream magic. Scarred Ana warned me she might be about to make some kind of attack, this will act as our reflective shield.

Alright so let me get this straight it’s either fight you and we can escape or don’t fight you and see how long we can last and MAYBE we can escape. Well no one in their right mind would ever trust any deal you have to offer, I mean say we fight you and win, you could still leave us trapped here. What then? All in all I’d just say fuck you.

So what kind of challenges are we talking about? I know a lot about combat but three rounds in the ring might not be one of the challenges. Huh... you know this reminds me of when Ana and Root played Quarto. Bro was the judge for those games...

I guess it depends on the challenge we are talking about.

Oh shut the hell up! It’s not like we are going anywhere, don’t rush us! This will only take a second!

Psychic link speak: Laura about that, it’s time I told you about about the nature of gods like me. The thing we represent both sides of human nature. I’ve already told you what I represent as a god. As you see me now, I am Morpheus, or just Dreamwalker as you call me. I represent dreams, imagination and so on. But there is another side of me, one that I haven’t shown you. This other side is called Phobetor, that side of me represent all the negative emotions, madness and insanity that humans as a species have experienced. Just looking upon him is to go insane, and to have your very mind ripped ripped apart. Since you are bound to me... I’m worried what this kind of transformation would mean for you. I know you for the kind person you are. But with Phobetor... you can see my concerns... Laura I promise that is something I only want to use as the very last of last resorts. I want you to stay you.

So... are you ready?

What I mean is it was never stated or shown that there were boundaries of the field where the fight is taking place. So it’s a little unfair that it happened but at the same time I understand why it’s there. This is like a cuphead boss and those all have fields where you can’t go, but I’m going to blame this on the medium in which quests are presented, which are usually way more open in the way you can interact. But here is why I would argue that showing the whole field is a lot more fair, see with both cuphead and dark souls, yes the game is hard but it’s also very fair and even handed, the game usually never throws something st you that you can’t be ready for. And so far you are doing that with the fight. But not showing (don’t tell however) that there was a field I can’t pass is a little awkward. And I just funny because Dark Souls and cuphead make it clear where you can or can’t go and it’s also clear what you need to do succeed, at least without the game directly telling you anyway. Again this is part of this part of that “show, don’t tell, gameplay” and letting the players infer what they will. But because there was no indication that there was a wall there, it’s just kinda lame I’m finding out about this now. It’s also because I want to see where I can move, because last I saw there was a flame covering the nearest platform. It’s just a matter of principle, hard bosses can be hard but they must also be fair in how to deal with them. Just my thoughts. However I do have a way of dealing with this while the fire is going on and it even does follow cuphead logic and it is also fair in how it will be presented and used as I suspect I’ll only get like 2 of these, maybe even just one; a 10 second invincibility powerup given by dreamwalker, every new panel is roughly 2-4 seconds of use.

Im against it. I’ve seen the kind of person she is. She will act all kind a sweet when you have something she wants, but otherwise she has no emotions towards you other than hatred. And as for “killing you out of mercy?” What a crock, if that was true why didn’t she just kill you?

And plus... I like you Laura. Even though we’ve only been bound for a short while I sense you have a beautiful mind. And the joy I get knowing I was able to bring you sight, something you’ve never known. I have nothing but pride for you.

But as for Essence and her bullshit offer? Nah.

*Stares at Essence like she is incompetent for a long moment*
Clearly you don't know as much about me as you think you do. My specialty is in the brain and nervous system as well as manipulating brain chemicals and planting dreams. Effects of the actual body are somewhat foreign to me, that was my brother's specialty.

Laura, when we are bound like this, your problems are mine as well. But if I don't know there is a problem, then nothing get's done. If you are in pain because of my actions, tell me. I know that I have been hurt before and I suspect that is where these scars have come from. I know someone who can restore us.
But right now I want to address what you said, not wanting to bother me with your problems...
*pulls Laura into a hug*
There is never an issue too small or too big that I won't help you with. You are not the first person I've been bound to, and I've loved every one of my seers as my children. To me you are like a daughter, and it grieves me to know you have been in pain. Don't ever feel as though you cannot tell me anything like this. I will always be here to listen and to help you, this is what it means to be bound. So please...

You sink your teeth into the people you depend on

*Creates an image of guillotine on a hill*

Maybe you'll change
Abandon all your wicked ways
Make amends and start anew again
Maybe you'll see
All the wrongs you did to me
And start all over, start all over again


Who am I kidding?
Now, let's not get overzealous here
You've always been a HUGE piece of SHIT!
If I could KILL YOU I would!
But I can't because i'm not corporeal
Having said that,
BURN. IN. HELL.

We need a tank and a heavy hitter!

>Summon: Scarred Ana

Description: A Warrior woman who was known as the black valkyrie. Armed with her Svardstav Gungnir and her black mythweaver coat, she can deal heavy damage while also drawing the attention of other enemeies.

HP: 2000
Mana: 1000

Attacks:
-Gungnir Svardstav, a strong attack with one hit. can deal magic damage that has lasting effect (Poison, paralyze, burn, etc.) at cost of 50 mana
-Charging blade, an attack that hits once but charges with each hit making each attack progressively stronger, final attack deals a devastating amount of damage before resetting.
- Tornado of Knives, becomes a whirling dervish of blades, deals small amounts of damage to all opponents, can be used with magic to have a small chance to put in an effect (poison, stun, burn, etc).

Defense:
- Armor up!: The mythweaver coat becomes her suit of full plate armor, some immunities to magic, damage is halved.
- Taunt: Becomes the target for one round.

Magic:
- Valkyries Doom, Targets one enemy, marks them for death. Target's attack weakens and defense drops drastically. Has a chance to paralyze enemy. 700 mana cost
- Valkyries wrath, Scarred Ana takes on the form of Desolation, attacks increase drastically at the cost of defense. Can allow multiples attack, 500 mana cost.
- Shake it off, Removes any effect on self or ally, 100 mana cost

Corporealize:
In the place of Summons, Scarred Ana has Corporealize. She enters combat with no body and no form and thus cannot attack, defend, or use items. When not corporeal, appears as her guiding spirit form (that being Ana with her eyes hidden in her long sleeve shirt and pants). Upon using this, she becomes how she looked on her journey, Strong with heavy scars on her face and a missing middle finger, her right eye glowing, and with her trade mark items, her Svardstav, Gungnir, and the black Mythweaver long coat. Corporeality lasts for 5 turns unless used on the fifth turn to remain corporeal. If she goes in corporeal all wounds and mana return to normal but enemies will lose their status effects inflicted by her, and charging blade will reset.

Items:
3 Potions of Healing
4 Potions of Mana
Bubble barrier, usable once only, reflects all damage back on targets.

No. 866399 ID: 785862

Also the way charging blade works: it starts out deal a normal amount of damage, and it gets stronger with each hit it makes. I figure 10 is it’s maximum strength. However it must be continuously used to get a stronger charge. Using an item or another attack won’t make it reset, only going incorporeal can do that, but the charge does decrease by 1.

thoughts: Thanks, but don't worry about me. I'm perfectly fine. In fact, I've never felt better. Just remember that looks are deceiving.

thoughts: And yeah, I expected she would tease about my chariot. It is part of my plan. As you can see here at this moment, Essence's weakness is that she gets easily distracted, as most Anas tends to be. From firing insults, to talking about herself and her plans, to bullying others. I've seen it happen time and time again from Essence, from a beach party, to the dinner date. As well as from our Ana, who tends to get attacked from the back. The fact she is distracted laughing now along with Scarred Ana means I got them right where we want them.

thoughts: Here is my strategy, Essence is expecting us to not attack Scarred Ana. She thinks we will only attack her and not harm Scarred because she believes we wouldn't hurt a friend. I believe we will be heading right into a trap if we attack Essence like she would expect. But we are going to do something unexpected. Do not focus your attacks on Essence. We are going to only attack Scarred Ana, and Ignore everything Essence says to stop us from attacking Scarred. Do not be concerned if she says that we will kill Scarred Ana or if she says we are horrible, or makes fun of us. I will take full responsibility for what happens to Scarred. I know that if we attack only Scarred long enough, something particularly interesting will most likely happen.

thoughts: That said, Dreamwalker, please choose which move you want to attack Scarred with while she is distracted laughing, or you can use the time to heal Laura with an item, and say what you want to Laura. Like I said, for you, Laura, it is important for you to stay calm and collected during times of stress, especially here. that is what your destiny asks of you.

thoughts: it's time for me to play a little solitaire.

Thoughts: See, Laura? this is what I meant. She is distracted again, Wasting her turn just to get me to sign whatever is written on this... toilet paper? While Scarred wasted her turn playing her harmonica. I'm not wasting my turn reading it, let alone sign it. *throws the contract (toilet paper?) far away*

Thoughts: Now then, It is good you are patient and thinking through this, Laura. you raise a good point, she sounds possessed. That reminds me of someone else who was once possessed earlier in my adventure. And I had to use this to help us.

thoughts: Laura, Dreamwalker, I hope you saw right there what happened concerning what I was talking about Essence's weakness. Because of Essence being distracted by her frustration, her attack wasn't as strong as it normally is. She has not yet learned to accept failure, as I have learned from a certain curator to turn the other cheek, and take failure in stride. Easier said than done, but I think I've understood it after what I've been through.

(suggestor's note: the curator I'm reffering to is the Conductor, Lorence's curator)

>>877474
... Dreamwalker, it is for the best we don't summon any more people, even if we get Scarred Ana back. Yes it is an effective strategy, but it is perhaps too effective. So effective that I believe our enemies now have a plan to trap us if we summon someone again. Call it an intuition.
Plus, even if they don't have a counteractive plan against us summoning more people, the people who we summon were Scarred Ana's allies... but only in her past life. The people we might summon will be from the timeline physical Ana is in, and we are not entirely sure if they'd want to fight alongside us, or if they would try to kill us.
Bottom line, summoning more people will be too risky from here on out, and should only be used as a last resort now. And even then, it would be a hope shot. Lets try not make this fight more complicated and cluttered than it needs to be.

Now, as far as taking down those two controlling our friend, my wand might have a chance to cast some fire on Spirit contaminator even though it is a weak attack, but I noticed the the Spirit contaminator is infected by a spirit parasite. I wonder if it is following Essence and fighting us against it's wishes. Perhaps I should try to take out the Spirit Parasite infecting him, and see what happens once he is free.

BUT that is not what we are doing in this turn. As of right now, Thing from the Addams Family, and that corpse is charging up an attack. I think it is for the best if I try to shuffle and deal my cards yet again, and try getting a defense card against that charged attack at us, and afterwards, Laura will attack Thing from the Addams Family. Perhaps if she attacks Thing, it will drop the corpse before it fires its attack.

If you agree, I'll begin my card dealing, and depending on what I get, we will decide on what you two should do.

[i]I guess that depends what he is charging up, if it is magic then I can easily deflect that off and it will have no effect. If is physical however then we might be in more trouble. I suggest you put up a shield if that's case. Go ahead and do your card draw first and lets see what hand we are dealt.

Thoughts: Ouch

Thoughts: okay my original plan was to for that previous turn higher our defenses. however we took more damage than I thought we would despite our raised defences. If we didn't take so much damage, I would have used my wand to cast fire on that Spirit parasite on spirit contaminator on this turn. I think what we'll have to do here is for this turn I'll try and get us healed with my cards and depending on how much HP we receive, we will have Laura attack the hand this turn after my card spells

Thoughts: well at least it now knows it is nothing personal, only a matter of circumstances. I suggest we bail out of the negotiation.

Thoughts: Now, I'm thinking about using my wand to cast a fire attack on Spirit contaminator, but I'll aim at the spirit parasite portion of her.

Thoughts: As for Laura, I recommend she either defends herself with fortify, or heal herself with an item, or if you decide to attack again, attack the hand so it doesn't do anything again this turn, but attack with a healing dagger

suggestor's note to author: before we decide whether Laura attacks with the healing dagger or not, I have a question, the description of the healing dagger says it is a weak attack that when done will heal your teammates for 100 points. I'm wondering, will it only heal teammates, or can it also heal Laura as well?

thoughts: AHEM! *Fortune Ana's loud telepathic cough stops Scarred before Scarred she can begin her charged attack on Essence before her turn* there you go again, rushing into everything, Leeroy Jenkins,

thoughts: Listen closely, Scarred... Dreamwalker, Laura, and I have been doing this very patiently, quietly discussing our plans first before acting. We've been able to come up with some good strategies that compliment our movesets, and It seems to be working in the long run and frustrating Essence. As much as I know you would love to mangle Essence ASAP, we need to be very careful.

thoughts: Also, we kind of agreed not to summon any more people unless it is a last resort, and even then, it would be a hope shot. I won't go into detail, but I smell a trap.

thoughts: If you agree with doing this patiently, lets discuss what our roles will be in this turn...

thoughts: ...Also, welcome back.

*Sighs and seems to calm down* no no you’re right I gotta recompose myself here.

I can draw their fire for a time I don’t mind getting smacked around, or I can be a big damage dealer. Laura you need a heal but I think you might be out of healing items. I recommend using a healing dagger again or having Fortune heal you after she draws a new hand. Depending on the needs of the party I will either attack or use my defense.

*Scarred looks between Laura and Essence with an absolute poker face. Looks at Essence and matches her smile perfectly.*

N O.

So, whats the plan?
>>
No. 878610 ID: ae9b99

Thoughts: So one thing to note, I think Essence got Karikatura Scarred Ana down to a T, with Scarred's moves and everything. Only because a lot of Scarred Ana's past life had been revealed by Scarred herself, the Ash Tree, and Anthony...

Thoughts: However, Karikatura Fortune Ana seems to have been rushed when Essence was creating that one. For one thing, I don't think Essence knows much about my past life, or the kind of fighter I am because my past has been a total mystery, even to me. Even Anthony hasn't really drawn much about my past.

Thoughts: Because of this, she may have made Karikatura Fortune Ana not as a support person, but as an attacker as we have seen from his charged gun shot against us. Also, he seems to have an infected knife similar to Happy's

Thoughts: One question for you Scarred, did that corpse know any fortune telling skills in your past life?

Thoughts: While Essence might not have support people on her team, we must still be careful with that guy. He still packs a punch.

Thoughts: Now one other thing to note, as far as Karikatura Scarred Ana goes, I think Essence disguised someone, and used that arm to control that person. If we blindly attack Karikatura Scarred Ana, we might hurt someone we do not mean to harm, kind of like that situation with Logan's daughter when Scarred Ana thought she was Essence. That said, if we attack Karkatura Scarred Ana, ONLY attack the arm portion.

Thoughts: As for Karikatura Fortune Ana, the corpse couldn't move on its own without Scarred's old arm. I am wondering if someone or something took that arm's place to control that corpse, like maybe Spirit contaminator simply took its place, or maybe Happy is back somehow controlling that one, especially since it is carrying that same infected dagger Happy did... I might have to use the moon card on that one to see what is going on.

Thoughts: Now then, what to do, what to do... It is important that Laura doesn't die because if she does, we lose. Top priority is to heal her.

Thoughts: Option one, I'll see if I can get a healing card combination. Afterwards, depending if I can get a successful card roll Laura might have to defend with Fortify, or use a healing item on herself, And Scarred, I might want you to get your Armor up Ability. Since it lasts for a few turns, you could probably defend yourself better when you taunt them for the next few turns to have them target only you and not Laura or myself. Essence seems to be only targeting exclusively her at the moment

Thoughts: Option 2, Scarred can heal Laura, Laura can cast fortify on herself, and I can use my moon card to see what is going on with my evil "clone"

Thoughts: Which option would you like to try? unless you have another idea?

>>
No. 878613 ID: 3583d1

>>878610
I'll draw the fire. I can take it. Laura you should use one of my potions or use your healing dagger, maybe use one of those tokens to boost it, either is fine. Fortune I want you to use your moon card to figure out what is up with those clones. Thoughts?

No. 878615 ID: ae9b99

suggestor's note:

After reading your post hear >>878575 I decided to review the fight, I don't think Laura lost all her healing items.

For the items, Laura still has
2 healing items (she only used one healing item so far)
4 elixers

Scarred has:
2 Potions of Healing (Essence stole and used on on herself)
2 Potions of Mana (Essence stole 2. one thanks to one of the dogs, and one when Scarred was controlled)
1 Bubble barrier

Fortune Ana has:
1 crystal ball
3 healing foods: (Grandma Brownie's Chocolate Chunker Wunker-Bunkers! Now with even bigger chunks of chocolate chunks! cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, pizza for dinner)
3 cure potions: heals bad status effects

>>878613
Thoughts: Are you sure you can take the hits? all three of them will be attacking you...
hmm...
tell you what, here are two options you can take:

Thoughts: 1. Laura will use a death token on her healing dagger on Essence. That way, you will get more hp to take the damage, Laura should be able to get more hp, especially with the close to death token's ability, And I'll use the moon card.

Thoughts: 2. Original plan, if you feel their attacks won't be more than 800 hp, you taunt, Laura only heals herself with an item, I use moon card.

which would you like to try?

suggestor's note: question, how much hp does one need to be to get a close to death token?)

The near-death token is earned if one action in the previous move prevented one character from dying. As for the Moon car, it is possible to only scan one opponent during your turn

Taunt will work like this. It will make only one opponent to target you and in order for that to work, the opponent has to have the lowest intelligence from the grope of all the enemies

Suggestors note: oh... whoops... sorry. I thought taunt makes all enemiea attack only Scarred. Otherwise, I would have use my original plan to have me heal everyone, Laura fortify, and Scarred use armor up. My plan was to use this turn to have all the enemies distracted by Scarred to keep damage away from Laura while she uses the healing daggers with the token to give scarred more health, and have me use this distraction to identify what is going on. Considering we noth wasted our turns, Laura will just have to use a healing item on herself with the token and hope for the best. Again, sorry for wasting our turns

No. 878884 ID: a79b7a

Thoughts: change of plans everyone, the taunt action did not react as I thought it would. So in order to use the moon card on my doppelganger we're going to have to get rid of Scarred's faker first so I can concentrate on using the moon card without worrying about healing and raising our defences. Once fake Scarred is gone, I can check on my clone.

Thoughts: For this turn, I'll Deal my cards to get the lovers kisses again. Depending on whether I get the role I need or not, Laura will have to either heal herself if I fail or the HP is not enough, or use fortify if I succeed and if the HP is high enough

thoughts: she is the type of person who wants to hear people beg for mercy before taking their lives because she thinks it's funny. I've seen her do it before *looks at fake Fortune Ana* Even if we ask nicely she'll still attack Laura. I think the key here is to say something that will really get under her skin enough to make her angry and lower her attacks again

Thoughts: She tends to claim she is in control of everything, saying she is a puppeteer. But what if we tell her along the lines that on the contrary, she has been a puppet herself no matter how much she wants she admits otherwise... to the Ash Tree itself. She was weak, afraid of this world and how it abused her so many times. Afraid of accepting failure. Both before and after the fog. Not being strong enough to cope with this world, she did the most cowardly action: she sold her soul for power to the ash tree. See, the fact is while she may have all this power, she is actually fulfilling the Ash Tree's will whether she wants to admit it or not.
That is why she tries to take control of people like puppets, and why she wants total control of Ana, to cope with the fact that her soul is now owned by the Ash Tree. But no matter how many people she uses like puppets, the sad reality is that she will never get back control of her soul.
The fact that she sold her soul for power to the Ash Tree, upu could say she is the... Ash Tree's whore? Or maybe go as far as to say... she is the Ash Tree's bottom bitch?

Thoughts: Well, if you all agree to try to make her angry again, who should tell her this? I don't think Scarred should since Essence wont take her seriously anymore. Laura shouldn't either since she is kind of an Ash tree follower, and she is a good girl. Either Dreamalker or I should say it...

True. You say it then, I think this is going to be funny.
>>
No. 879083 ID: ae9b99

>>879048
thoughts: You find that funny, Scarred? honestly, I find it depressing and pathetic to the point of almost pity. You must also think that although her soul is probably owned by the Ash Tree, we shouldn't forget we were summoned by the Ash Tree itself. In a way, we're kind of in the same boat as her. The only difference is that she chose to sell her soul to the Ash Tree. We were summoned by the Ash Tree without a choice.
Also, please take this battle seriously. there is nothing humorous to be had from this battle. You need to stay focused. Don't show any hint of laughter.

thoughts: But yeah, I guess I'm the best candidate to fire that insult, despite my voice probably being compromised. We'll have to be prepared for that consequence. I'll speak with Essence now


*brings out the devil card, and holds it up to show to Essence* Which of these figures do you see yourself as?

...

Don't answer that question. it was a rhetorical question. I already know your answer. You see yourself as this figure *points to where the devil creature is sitting* as a powerful being who wants to take control of other people's lives, trapping them in situations where they can only rely on you whether through pretending you are their friend, or keeping them against their will, or making them feel there is no other way. Hell, you even referred to yourself as the devil once, and you are right now dressed as one kind of.

And while I can respect your power, the sad truth that disappoints me about you, is that throughout my research on you, you seem to be at a point of addiction in how much you want to control people, especially Ana. Almost perhaps in... desperation? Actually, let me ask, are you maybe perhaps all this time... these figures down here? *points to the two chained up figures below the devil in the tarot card*

*puts the card away* I feel the fact that how often you talk and sing about how you have so much control over others, and gloat at how powerful you are, and how you get so upset with the slightest hint of failure, you are actually compensating for the fact that you are not in total control of your soul as you'd feel comfortable with... or at least with what little you have left of the soul you lost. The way I see it, because of your constant fear of failure and being weak, I know that you would do anything to become stronger against this world that screwed you over so many times. So you've cowardly and without thinking, took the easy way out and sold your soul to gain your place in godhood. And sure, you've become one of the strongest beings in the multiverse, you have to suffer with the fact that your soul is now forever as long as this universe keeps resetting itself, owned and controlled by the Ash Tree itself.
See, the fact is while you may have all this power, you are actually fulfilling the Ash Tree's will whether you want to admit it or not, or even realize it. While you may see yourself as a puppeteer with your immense powers, as long as you are in godhood, You are really just another one of the Ash Tree's scared little puppet.

That is why you try to take control of people like puppets, and why you want total control of Ana, to cope with the fact that your soul is now owned by the Ash Tree and to not feel powerless in that regard. But no matter how many people you use like puppets until their strings get tangled, the sad reality is that you will never get back control of your soul. How ironic, isn't it?

to conclude, The fact that you sold your soul for power to the Ash Tree, one might say you are the... Ash Tree's whore? Or maybe I could go as far as to say... you are the Ash Tree's bottom bitch?

Well, you can try to disprove it. You can try to laugh it off. But whatever you say, I won't see it as you telling me off, I'll only see it as the Ash Tree using ventriloquy to have you tell me off. You'll have to find another way to prove you have control of your soul, and not the Ash Tree.

thoughts: Don't expect my "reason you suck" speech to work. Be prepared for what she might pull on us, my friends. The best we can do is hope. And if failure is in our future, accept it.

firstly, no. I don’t think her existence is funny, I think it’s pathetic and herself is nothing more than hopped up garbage. What I would find funny is her having a freak out because of it.

And secondly, I refuse to accept failure. I only accept moments to get back up and undo it or do better. I will never settle for failure.

Laura
hp 1000

Scarred
hp: 720
mp: 1000

Fortune:
hp: 580
mp: 0


You see yourself as the chains then... Are you absolutely sure? That is kind of weird...

*spits a little blood towards the floor* Because I wonder, did you know that if you looked closely, the chains in the devil card is actually very loose? as in the figures could just... very easily remove those chains off their necks, be free from the chains' grip and control, and just leave the devil influencing them? the figures chained up are just unwilling to, or unaware that they can easily escape. Please do more research before you make assumptions like that. That said, I am deeply sorry I overestimated your intelligence in that regard.

*cough* That brings me back to the figures chained up. I still see you as the chained up figures, easily able to escape the grip of the chains, but unwilling to do so. Perhaps you are in a horrid situation you can easily get out of, but are unwilling, or unaware you can escape and find a better life. Which interestingly, makes me believe why you did not deny you were the Ash Tree's bottom bitch, or prove that your weren't it's slave. I mean sure, the tree probably isn't giving you direct orders, but the fact you sold your soul to it for its power, and let its power corrupt your mind tells me you are really the one chained up as the tree's slave.

Thoughts: I guess I'm a better taunter than you are, Scarred, as I was able to get their attention away from Laura. Though I shouldn't take pride in that. It is an unhealthy habit to have. But it seems like you are in a duel at the moment... My suggestion: attack your old arm your opponent is using, the one that Essence stole from you. I have a feeling if you attack any other body part of your opponent, you might regret it either physically, or emotionally

thoughts: it seems I've been infected by that knife like Scarred was, Laura. I believe that knife is used to make Spirit contaminator take a little control of Scarred with that small bit of infection Happy did on her with his knife. I can't let Spirit Contaminator take control of me, or else Essence will have a support person on her team. I'll need to heal my status with either one of my cure potions, or use High Priestess' Exorcism on all of us so both Scarred and I get rid of this infection on us this turn, and in the next turn, attempt to set up a status resistance barrier with Hierophant's blessings to prevent any more infections for a time.

thoughts: for this to work, I want you, Laura, to attack Essence with a strong attack. That way, she'll have My faker waste a turn healing her, and give me the chance to get rid of my, or both of our infection.

thoughts: As for which attack, I'll have Dreamwalker decide. Make sure it is really strong.

Thoughts:just to be clear, you want me to use my cure potion to get rid of the infection? I think Scarred is also still infected.

Thoughts:Tell you what, there are 3 things I can do

Thoughts: 1. try to roll for High Priestess' Exorcism to get rid of both Scarred, and my infections

Thoughts: pros: I'll get the chance to upgrade my sword card again, I'll be able to clear the infection from both myself, and Scarred in one turn

Thoughts: cons: could be a chance that I may fail getting what I want, I won't be able to heal.

Thoughts: Though I will say, I think I have a better understanding on how to roll these cards. I still also have a fool card so if I can get at least 2 cards, and fail 3, I can use the fool card to clear the infection

Thoughts: 2. use a cure item to clear the infection

Thoughts: pros: I won't have to worry about failing a card roll, making me guaranteed to clear the infection.

Thoughts: Cons: I won't be able to cure Scarred as well for this turn, I won't heal my hp

Thoughts: 3. Heal myself with an item

Thoughts: Pros: I heal my hp, and live longer in the battle

Thoughts: cons: If I get hit with that knife again, Spirit contaminator will be able to take full control of me, and you will be without a fire move to get rid of her.

Thoughts: Now then, in my opinion, I think I should try the card roll again, option 1. Now that I have a better understanding of how it works, I think I can get the combination I need. And if she kills me this round, it would be better than not having to be Essence support, healing her and making your battle more difficult. Besides, as I said, you using your strongest attack on her should be able to keep attention away from me for the most part. and even if they both attack me, she should be at low enough HP for you to finish her off, or at least get her closer to death

Also, I don't think Scarred can use "shake it off" on Fortune Ana because she is stuck only targeting her imposter due to the challengers strike, putting you in a duel.

That said, you can use it on yourself, but I'd rather you attack Scarred imposter while Laura attacks Essence with her strongest attack while I try to get a roll to cure both our infections. I have a fool card, don't forget.

When it comes to attacking however, I can only attack the doppelganger, but I don't see why I couldn't use it on you. But fair enough. We'll go with the original plan of her attacking. By the way, have you checked my draw thread? There's a new one of you.

I won't judge whether your method or our method of protecting Ana, and helping her reach a specific goal is better. But what I will say is... just as there are upsides to a path one may think is correct, there are also a lot of downsides to them as well, some obvious, some hidden.

For instance, Root wanted power and control over the world to change it to what he believe a utopia, peace among people. He wanted to help guide his fellow cult members which he believes were dealt a bad hand in life, and influence their behavior and actions with the promise of giving them another chance for a better life. However, as his powers, and the number of people he influenced grew, the numbers became so great, that it pretty much became a clusterfuck that Root can't stop at this point. Things like betrayal, as in members who secretly plan on getting rid of other members in higher power to steal their position, going even as far as plans on getting rid of Root to take his place as the leader. Also the people who Root believe were unfortunate people that he influenced to be better people turned out to be worst from it, treating other unfortunate people even like lesser people, or taking his words far too seriously to the point of going too far. these negative behaviors is Probably something Root did not intend his people to act when he tried to influence them to be better people.

Take the people you influence for example. depending on how you treat them, they could end up betraying you, and not follow your orders, or even back-stab you if you are not careful. Hell, I've seen some of your allies in this battle go against your words, like The Will Torturer running away instead of staying like you commanded or Karikatura Scarred Ana challenging Scarred Ana to a duel instead of attacking me. I guess it goes back to what you said about you being the chains in the devil card, and how I pointed out how loose those chains are... how poetic I guess... but I'm no poet.

As I said... loose chains.

And you didn't really challenge my rebuttal with the example I gave. Only saying that I'm erroneous about everything I said. Please state as to why I am wrong? because I think I gave a valid argument with how even Root is suffering the consequences of living this life controlling others, and I can see it right there with you allies currently. And I must apologize ahead of time that I will not accept any answers where you say "it is a secret as to why", nor will I accept you ignoring the question entirely, because that will just prove to me that even you don't know if your way of taking control of people's will is the right answer of how this world works or not. Only making assumption that it is the right answer, too scared to even consider you might be wrong.

If you were to ask me, I would have to say there is no "right" or "wrong" answer as to how to live through this universe. except maybe 42, but that is another topic.

question to author: the bubble barrier item Scarred Ana has, the description says that it reflects all damage we recieve and is usable only once. I want to know 3 things, if we get attacked with that activated, will we still recieve damage while it counter attacks, or will we not recieve damage while it reflects the attack damaging the enemy? Also, does the barrier only effect one person or the entire party for one turn? I may have a plan.

Also, I work all day. So It will take a bit for me to post a plan. But if my partner has one, feel free to post it.

Thoughts: That hurt so much, I can barely move...that was painful agreed Laura. We shouldn't do anything drastic.

thoughts: I would continue going on asking her how can she even expect to be a good puppeteer if she can't even control herself and her temperament, and the fact that she is using pills to control her emotions, but I figured I've proved my point to her loud and clear. The fact that she couldn't even come up with any more things to back up her claims and resorted to asking me to shut up and threw a meteor at me tells me I've won this argument, whatever that is worth. That said, gotta know when to deal your hand of cards.

thoughts: Also, Essence probably isn't thinking straight. It probably would have been more effective if she had my clone knife me, and her attack like the turn before this one, but instead, she chose to waste her partner turn to help her summon that meteor that probably cost too much mp... Unless she is trying to keep me alive on purpose? Creepy to think about. I'll need to be careful.

thoughts: My original plan for this turn was to have them attack me again after another one of my conversations, and right before I get hit, Scarred activates bubble barrier on all of us, giving me the opportunity to do something like place my crystal ball on the field, or use my moon card, and Laura attacks, but it is probably too risky

thoughts: We should take this carefully, but not ease up on the attacks too much. I think I should heal myself with one of my food items, Laura since she is pretty much at full hp should attack Essence again (either with the dream sword for a strong attack, or the healing daggers to heal us), and Scarred should use Valkyries Doom on her opponent to lower it's attack and defense. Hopefully it will paralyze her opponent, but whatever, it is up for fate to decide.

thoughts: For the items,

Laura still has
1 healing items (she used up her two, one of which was used with a close to death token)
4 elixers

Scarred has:
2 Potions of Healing (Essence stole and used one on herself)
2 Potions of Mana (Essence stole 2. one thanks to one of the dogs, and one when Scarred was controlled)
1 Bubble barrier

I have:
1 crystal ball
3 healing foods: (Grandma Brownie's Chocolate Chunker Wunker-Bunkers! Now with even bigger chunks of chocolate chunks! cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, pizza for dinner)
3 cure potions: heals bad status effects

thoughts: overall we are decent. Could be better, but I think we have enough to get by

thoughts: speaking of which, Scarred, which one of my picnic munchies are your favorite? the sandwich, or the pizza? the Grandma Brownie's Chocolate Chunker Wunker-Bunkers! Now with even bigger chunks of chocolate chunks! cereal is not an option for you because I'm saving that for Laura and Dreamwalker. It is his favorite food after all... sorry

Scarred’s not using it this turn Laura, she’s using Valkyries doom. I think that your theory around Essence is preparing something worse is the right one... to be honest this whole fight has reminded me of Kefka from final fantasy VI, I think something else is coming and it’s best we use that bubble shield then.

Let’s use our dreamsword on Essence again.

Actually what if we did bring it up? We already know how desperate she is to win. But here’s the thing I’m slowly figuring out about each of these games we’ve been playing (cuphead, undertake, and now finalfantasy/earthbound) this sounds a lot like cheating to me. Remember how Essence tried to cheat in undertale? There was a hidden umpire who immediately ended the game and declared us as the winners because of her cheating. I’m betting there’s another around here somewhere.

Thoughts: I'd like to point out what Essence said when we were spying on her without her knowing *projects image to Laura*

thoughts: she said that after Scarred Ana made a deal with Essence to prevent that corpse who is currently Karikatura Fortune Ana from dying. I will say after she made a deal with Essence, she killed him anyway going against her word.

thoughts: let me point out that when you summoned us, we had a choice whether to help you or not by answering your call for help. We didn't have to show up, but we did so anyway because we care about you :)

thoughts: Now one thing that has me concerned is that when Essence said you would continue this fight without any allies, I believe she is including Dreamwalker in that deal as an ally that will be taken away, not just Scarred and I. which means you will be facing Essence without any magic. Part of my thinking of that is because both Scarred and I can easily stop becoming corporeal, and not get harmed, and just leave. A contract is probably not required.

thoughts: Also, if you really are going to read it, which I don't advise you doing, let me at least use the moon card to inspect for anything hidden first, like hidden writings, or traps. You never know if she included any secrets in there that you might regret.

No Laura, I think no such thing. I think you already think defeat is inevitable and you don’t want the deaths of either Fortune or Scarred on your conscious. I don’t think they will want you to sign that sheet, do you know why? They chose to be here, the same as I chose to stand by your side.

I also think that Scarred and Fortune chose to stand by you because you stood by Ana when she needed you. And because of your aid they now stand by you against the same person who wants to hurt you. It’s okay to have help when we need it. Even gods need help, sometimes.

thoughts: listen closely. I'm only telling you, and dreamwalker this. Not Scarred because she is so emotional, and blinded by revenge, I don't think she can keep a poker face to save her life... no offense to her.

Thoughts: now, I want to say that if you do not sign the contract, Essence will most likely use Karikatura me to finish off Scarred Ana, killing her, which is bad. If you do sign that contract, you will be left without my support to refill your hp, especially since you have only 1 healing item. Plus, you only have 100 mp currently, which means you will have to waste a turn refilling your mp in order to do more strong attacks or using defense magic to defend yourself, and most likely getting more of your hp drained, killing you, which is just as bad as getting Scarred killed.

thoughts: Essence wouldn't be having you sign this contract unless she thinks she can win. I think I found a loophole to the contract though. It stated "two participators", correct? it did not state "Laura and Essence" on there. So that would probably mean if I signed the contract and not you for example, that would mean I become the participator, and you become the ally, Laura, giving you freedom to sit this fight out and stay out of trouble.

thoughts: Question is, which one of us will sign it, Laura, Scarred, or myself. Scarred is in bad shape, but if she signs it, Karikatura me will vanish, and give Scarred the chance to heal herself and mp for a couple of turns with her items, however, she is at two turns left until she becomes incorporeal, though she can use that turn to become corporal at her third turn, so hp healing, mp, become corporal. That would mean 3 turns of not attacking, and by her third turn, she might get on low hp again from Essence's attacks... this is part of the reason why I did not want Scarred to hear this, she will most likely jump at the opportunity if she hears about the loophole.

thoughts: I on the other hand, have a good amount of hp. And while I may not be good at attacking, there is one card I have that I have been building up after each successful card combination: the sword card. If I can get that card as high as I can, and then use the close to death token on it, that might be enough to finish Essence off. Plus, I don't have to worry too much if she tries to infect me again, as Spirit contaminator will not be able to enter this fight as she is considered an ally. Plus, lets not forget I still have 2 healing items, some cure potions, and a crystal ball which will let me prepare for upcoming attacks. I might be a better candidate out of the two Anas if you choose one of us to sign it.

thoughts: Take the time to think about what I said for anything wrong, Laura, and let me know what you think of this.

She is too heartless to give us a reasonable choice, only giving choices to depress us for making either decision. That said, im prepared for the worst.

Im gonna hold off for now, I want my coplayer here for this as well because Dreamwalker is on the verge of going full Phobetor and I would like some extra advice as to how to proceed. My best guess is actually having a conversation with Falafaf first like we did we with the spirit contaminator.

suggestor's note: sorry bud, you might not like what I have to hear. Keep an open mind :)

*still in her calm demeanor*
thoughts: hm... To be honest, I was expecting worse. Like facing Garm or something.

thoughts: alright, Dreamwalker, as I probably said a while ago, you should not have gotten too attached to Falafaf. Especially in this day of age of suffering in this multiverse. I kind of wished you'd listen more, but I guess this is a learning experience. Sorry to be blunt.

thoughts: Laura, these were people who have died because of mistakes we've made, like being selfless to sacrifice a friend's life to save a multiverse from a monsterous parasite as multiple lives are more important to save over one life, or being selfish like trying to save our own life, to the point of taking a life in self defense. It is a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time always being stuck in split second decisions.

thoughts: the way I see it, these two people were already killed, and as I was told, their existence are very unnatural, and should not be alive as zombies. If we don't kill them and give them a quick and painless death, the Dimensional Tribunal and his cohorts will most likely kill them instead, probably in a more gruesome way than we could. That said, I apologize, and I understand if you see me as a terrible person, but they need to die by our hands.

Thoughts: besides, from what I saw, Falafaf was suffering tremendously under Essence's control, and wishing for death even. We should grant her that at least so she may finally escape Essence's suffering, peacefully rest and have her heroic sacrifice mean something.

thoughts: As for TV head, Essence made him forget everything about his past. he is no longer the man he was now, and I really don't think we can change that as the brain is a very complicated and fragile thing to fix. It is for the best we put him down and have him rest with his memories before the Dimensional Tribunal does something worst to him.

thoughts: Laura, Dreamwalker, I understand if what I said sounds cruel, and you see me as a terrible person and want to go against me... but that is just how I feel towards this complicated situation. my thoughts are loudly telling me to help them escape this nightmare, and take their eternal peaceful sleep.

thoughts: If Falafaf is more like me, she will be used as a support for Essence and her allies. She is a priority to take down. I would have you attack Falafaf, though the way Dreamwalker is, I don't think he'll be able to have you do strong attacks on her, let alone let you attack her... which is why I think Scarred will be a better option to focus on attacking her. You, on the other hand, Laura, will focus on attacking Essence...
...unless Dreamwalker can let go of the past and help Falafaf stop her suffering and let her rest...

thoughts: So here is my thoughts: I will try to get a healing card combination to raise our hp. Depending on whether I succeed or not, Scarred will either heal herself, or attack Falafaf. You, Laura will attack Falafaf... or Essence if Dreamwalker won't allow it...

Thoughts: I'll deal my cards... but first, I want to know if you are okay, Scarred. I know Dreamwalker is devastated to having to fight someone he loves, (Falafaf). Though I feel that you might also feel very similar sorrow as well with fighting tv head in some respects, considering you were a parent just like him. I want to make sure everyone here can fight past their sadness and stay focused despite the situations and atrocities...like a soldier would, correct?

thoughts: speaking of TV head... Scarred, there is something you and I need to discuss with 93 concerning the kids. I won't talk about it now as I want to focus on one problem at a time, but it is something serious we need to think hard about when we get the chance.

thoughts: Laura, you've heard the plan. I try to heal, Scarred will then attack Falafaf, or heal herself if I fail my card combination, and then you attack Falafaf, or Essence, depending on if Dreamwalker is emotionally able to. We gotta get rid of her support asap. Do you have any objections or concerns before we do this plan, Laura?

thoughts: don't worry about it, Laura. Deep breaths, and don't get stressed. Falafaf and TV Head needs to be put out of their misery, it is another way of saving them from hell. Keeping her alive means she will suffer even more in the hands of Essence. I heard Forgotten Falafaf crying for death when Scarred was in a very bad situation which required her to hurt Falafaf through Essence. She really didn't want to do it, but it was a bad place at a bad time.

thoughts: Essence is just playing with your guilt right now. Believe me when I say if you didn't attack Falafaf, it will be harder for us down the line, as she will support Essence putting us in more danger, and then Essence will then mock and call us an idiot for not attacking Falafaf. Thats what she does, always putting us in a position where she will punish us and judge us harshly no matter what choice we make, saying it is a wrong decision no matter what choice you make, and forcing us into situations which make us looks like villians. there are no such thing as "right decisions" when it comes to her.

thoughts: Plus like I said, even if we do save Falafaf, she as well as ourselves will suffer harsher consequences in other ways from a powerful being named the Dimensional Tribunal. As I said, her existence is very unnatural and maybe dangerous under his eyes. If he catches us saving her, he will kill us all as punishment, and we already have enough powerful enemies to deal with. That guy I do not want as our enemy if we can help it.

thoughts: My advice from this point on, ignore anything Essence says. She is just trying to get under your skin. Besides, she is just contradicting herself again, calling you out for being selfless, and now calling you out for being selfish. Kind of not a good idea to listen to her at this point if she is just going to contradict herself like that.

thoughts: Side note, I wonder what her reaction would be if she found out I was the one who asked you to attack Falafaf and not Scarred Ana? she seems to assume it was Scarred Ana that asked you to do it based off of her saying "you'll end up like Scarred". She'll probably tell forgotten Falafaf about it or something.

That is one too many times of her guessing correctly what I said to be a coincidence... okay, I think I know where my missing totem is at. Essence has my missing totem, and it can voice out what I am thinking to Essence, not just what I say through my mouth. Sadly, I'll have to take a vow of silence not just through my voice, but through my thoughts as well. Dreamwalker, Scarred, you might have to come up with plans instead of myself.

Thoughts: Fuck, well that’s just perfect. Alright so here’s the thing. If I’m planning this we need a code. If you plan to draw a new hand raise your left hand, if you plan to attack point with your right, if you plan to use an item put your hands in your pockets.

First thing I want you to is use your moon card on that item to see if we can figure out what it is. But I’m also trying to determine if Essence would plan for you to do that and I wouldn’t be surprised if she thinks I’m gonna attempt to kick it back in her face. So my current plan with that thing? Ignore it.

If you disagree with this Fortune, just shake your head. Essence will just assume you disagree with my plan which she can’t hear anyway.

Fortune but right now what I want you to is draw a new hand, hopefully one that can raise our defenses. That’s the thing if you intend to draw a new hand you are the one who has to go first everytime so then we can plan around it accordingly.

thoughts: It is okay, Dreamwalker. after extensive looking at how sad you are looking, and the depressive silence Falafaf is in, I understand how hard it is for you, and how hard it must be to her.

thoughts: Staring at you and Falafaf is making me remember something vague... I have a question Dreamwalker, and I want to know if this was real or not as you seem to have mastery over the mind... but I have a vague memory about a love letter you wrote. I don't know what it was for as it feels like a dream, but at the same time, it felt so real, like raindrops spilling into reality of a dream cloud from the dreamer, and raining down on me. It is kind of surreal. Tell me if this sounds familiar, Dreamwalker.

thoughts: you wrote something along the lines of realizing how hopeless it might be writing your love letter, not knowing where or when Falafaf was or if she was alive, and maybe perhaps you were writing to her spirit.

thoughts: Regardless, you wanted to tell her that you never had a chance to tell Falafaf for all the years you worked together with her that... you loved her...

thoughts: you mentioned how when you saw Falafaf's real face, you couldn't stop his heart from beating.

thoughts: you have loved and lost before, but with Falafaf, she was the first chance you might have, or might have had, at something you've always wanted, a real family. you wanted to let her know that you are always watching for her, and refused to give up hope. And she shouldn't either.

thoughts: You then closed the letter saying you would see her in her dreams, and if she was beyond you, then you will see her in whatever lies beyond. Sweet dreams, to her, the love of your heart.

thoughts: Love,
Morpheus, The Dreamwalker

thoughts: ... even if what Essence said is true and Falafaf never loved you, and became an empty shell of her former self, at least you can say your tried. That is something most people are too scared to do in difficult situations: try.

thoughts: ...Sorry, I shouldn't be depressing us with something like this in a middle of a battle. Enough rambling. I'm sure Essence heard this and is going to remark on how cheesy I sound right now, and bully us for that. But that isn't important and doesn't bother me.

thoughts: For now, lets focus on what really matters here, fighting to stop this woman from taking precious things from people, such as tricking us to destroying a timeline that Logan's daughter lost and blames us for, and from taking a father's memories away, and taking away a heroic sacrifice.

thoughts: Lets fight for victory to hope for fixing things back to normal, or at least help Ana survive and escape this nightmare.

thoughts: And even if we fail this battle and hit rock bottom at our lowest point, losing Laura and Ana, we can at least be assured then that the only direction to go from rock bottom... is up. That is what the 10 of swords tarot card suggests, excessive failure and tragedy to the point of it being ridiculous, but a bright dawn in the horizon. It won't be our problem and responsibility anymore if we fail, but at least a new brighter beginning will most likely start for us. That said, do not fear failure. I'm not scared.

thoughts: Dreamwalker, Laura, what would you like us all to do next? Remember I already drew my cards.

It is best to practice what you preach, Laura. Panicking will just lead to impatience and cause mistakes.

Thoughts: I've been thinking of it like this, Essence going overly and unnecessarily excessive like this with using a war bot means she has gotten desperate and afraid of us and getting near the end of her rope. I feel we are close to winning despite her swagger.

suggestor's note: I think you (or Scarred Ana) might like this cartoon. I've binged watched it recently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Vs. )

One thing that worries me about you, Essence, you claim to be in control of everyone and everything... but yet you can't even take control of yourself. For example, by yourself, you can't keep control of your anger when something slightly fails on you, where I have learn to accept my failures, and take it in stride at this point. You on the other hand have to rely on pills to dictate your emotions while you can't control your own emotions. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how do you expect to control Ana and others effectively if you can't even take control of yourself without having pills on standby to dictate your actions like a puppeteer? especially when you cowardly use them on the slightest hint of failure, sometimes to the point of overdose?

...maybe you secretly like being a slave? even to something inanimate like pills?

*nods at Laura*

So you plan on making us voices your mind controlled slaves after you kill us Essence. I think I should warn you that I have reason to believe that we are cursed voices, spreading bad luck to people we try to help, or forced to help. After every decision we made in our quest, whether with good or bad intentions, not one of them gave us any hint of victory or hope. Only more misfortune towards every single person we try to help whether we want to help them, or not, or simply stay silent and observe.

I try doing selfless actions, only leading to us suffer for it and people walking over us. I try doing selfish actions leaving us with more enemies to deal with wanting revenge, I try saying nothing and only observing giving us people suffering for not having our advice. It leaves me to believe that it isn't our advice and decisions that is causing bad things to happen, but rather it is us being cursed with bad luck that we spread towards others unintentionally. There is just too many bad results with no good results to be a coincidence of bad decisions.

If you try to have us mind controlled to help you in any way, you will only be cursing yourself with bad luck. You are better off with just killing us and making our souls vanish forever. But then again, it will be funny to see you with bad luck. The choice is yours if you win and kill us I guess.

I believe you said once you wanted to destroy the multiverse. Tell me, what will you do when there is absolutely nothing left? What do you have to gain after you have destroyed everyone and everything, and left with only nobody and nothing.

*looks towards Essence* hmmm, I don't believe you. Don't lie. That number above your head has a target reticle. I doubt that a target reticle would represent a suit powering down. I would expect something more like a battery symbol. If I were to wager a guess, that number is probably something like how many turns are left until you can use a very powerful move. You're only saying that to try to get us to lower our defenses when that number hits 0.

That said, I believe you do have Absolution in there, or at least a god with equal power to him. you are planning on revealing him as your power source as your trump card if things go bad for you.

*looks towards Laura* Well, Laura, I do have one idea, but I have some concerns about it... mainly advice we were once told that we might not follow...

tell you what, Dreamwalker, to give you an idea of what I have, we'll play a minigame. I can't tell you what to do, but I can do a work-around. what I want you to do first is number your fighting options Laura has. for example, 1 is Defense, 2 is item, 3 is summon, and so on. After you numbered each of Laura's options, I will say the number which I want you to choose. After we open a category from the number I choose, You will number the options on the new list. Ok?

Oh, and don't label those numbers like I did in the example. As in don't lable 1 as defense, 2 as item, 3 as summon. Categorize those numbers with Laura's fighting options any way you want randomly. Afterwards, i will say a number corresponding to one of Laura's fighting options.

I'm... okay... *coughs up a little blood* It is... just a flesh wound...
...
*vomits a lot of blood* ugh... give me a moment

...yeah I find it weird too. and this wasn't the first time she refrained from killing one of us. she stopped Karikatura Scarred Ana from killing Scarred Ana, and now she had TV head target me instead of you...

Not only that, I can't help but feel like she held back on that drill attack. Here is my reasoning: if you didn't use that parry to raise your defense a little, you would have gotten killed. But since you did, you survived... but here is the weird thing that does not make sense: you did not get a "close to death token" from doing that move that raised your defense a little. The only explanation I can think of is that she held back on that drill attack, making sure the damage would be exactly 600 hp. One would think she did that to prevent you from getting another token, but then again, if she didn't hold back, she would have killed you. why wouldn't she kill you instead?

Perhaps maybe you should ask her Laura? the same way we did with Spirit contaminator earlier? See what happens?

Scarred, before you go corporeal, do you think you can do something in your ghost form? Something tells me you should hold off on that and use your ghost form to your advantage to do something else. Think about what you can do. Surprise us. But, uh. Don't leave the battlefield if you can help it.

Dreamwalker, what do you think? I think it is obvious what I should try to do... *coughs out a little blood*

No. 886068 ID: 3583d1

there is literally nothing Scarred can do in her incorporeal form. I stated that in her rules. When she is incorporeal she can’t attack defend or use items... so I’m very confused as to what you want her to do.
>>
No. 886153 ID: ae9b99

>>886068
Suggestor's note: Well, I wouldn't say "literally nothing". While I'll agree you did state in the rules that while she is in her "guiding spirit form" she cannot attack or defend or use items, I feel there are other things you can accomplish in that "guiding spirit form". In fact, Scarred and Fortune accomplished quite a lot of things in that form to begin with all throughout the quest.

Just have fun and use your imagination. Just remember, we earlier unlocked a secret option for Laura during our time with Spirit Contaminator. Perhaps you might be able to unlock a secret option for Scarred based off whatever action you choose in that ghost form. You shouldn't ask me what I want you to do in that ghost form, but rather ask yourself what you want to do in that ghost form

Though if you feel like it isn't worth it, you can always bring her back in the battlefield corporeal again, or perhaps wait until you feel the time is right based off of the situation. I won't mind :)

[i]Uhhh, well Laura if my geeky credibility means anything f to determine what her unpredictable attack means, especially if that “NERF THIS” means anything... well that means the attack is probably overpowered, and we might be screwed...

If Fortune plans to heal us we should heal her. Toss her a healing item.

[spoiler]Ugh. Yeah it means we are back to square one, and I have been pretty much standing around with my thumb up my ass. Honestly I don’t know if Fortune can redraw a new hand anymore and all I can do is go corporeal. I’ll try to draw their fire but it’s not a guarantee they will hit me. As for her unpredictable attack, honestly Laura assume the worst and hope for the best. That’s about the gist of it. If you want I suggest summoning one of my buddies either Gretel for healing or Garm for Damage. That will throw something of a monkey wrench in her plan. Laura doesn’t want Dreamwalker out on the field and Fortune... look sorry partner but so far your plans haven’t been working out in our favor. If we keep pussy footing we are fucked. That’s my thoughts on it all and I’m sick of listening to Essence flap her mouth.[spoiler]

Scarred Ana uses corporealize

No. 886556 ID: ae9b99

Hmmm... so I take it I can't use that magicians card anymore throughout the rest of this fight.

Well, I looked long and carefully at what our moves are, and I'm sorry to say Laura, I think you, Dreamwalker, and I are going to get killed this next turn with all things considered. All I can say to you is, I'm sorry we've failed you, Laura and Dreamwalker.

But hey, might as well have fun and go out swinging, and then face our death with dignity. Even though we are going to get killed this next turn, we're not giving up. Do not worry, Laura. I'll be with you in the end of this.

Scarred, DON'T GO CORPOREAL! You'll be heading right into her trap. You becoming corporeal is exactly what she is expecting you to do. You'll just get yourself killed and probably under Essence's control just like what will most likely happen to me after Essence kills me. Especially with that powerful move she has coming up.

If I remember, bombs like grenades will hurt multiple targets which she is most likely going to have TV Head use to finish Laura, and myself off. If you corporealize in the battlefield, you will just get insta-killed from whatever Essence's powerful attack is, killing you before she kills Laura, Dreamwalker and I with the grenade.

Instead, I want you to hide out somewhere, and wait for an opportunity of hope to arrive back in the multiverse, if one ever does arrive. Sadly you won't be able to guide Ana anymore as Essence will use Ana as as her puppet, but at the very least you will be able to escape from being mind controlled by Essence. Perhaps It might be best for you to wait things out for a few decades, observe what is going on, and find another hero to guide. Or perhaps journey to another dimension leaving this one behind.

I reiterate, do NOT become corporeal.

Dreamwalker, please choose Laura's final attack or defense, bud.

FUCK THAT AND FUCK YOU!

If you think I’m gonna run away with my tail between my legs like a frightened puppy while you think you are gonna stand here and die, you can take that and shove up your ass. Don’t stand there and take it, don’t lie down like a coward. Look it the face and and fuck it into submission.

For all we know that attack Essence has planned is a bluff. Think about it, she is already a liar. And I even gave you some suggestions! Besides attack and defend! Summon someone! Maybe even one of these other pricks watching the fight?! We might just get some divine intervention! Who knows?

But SHAME ON YOU for taking the cowards way. Fuck Essence, fuck you, and fuck everything. If I am making you angry, good.

ANGER. GETS. SHIT. DONE.

Sorry not sorry guys but I am legitimately pissed at Essence’s OP please nerf powers.
>>
No. 886563 ID: ae9b99

*speaking calmly* Sorry to say, but as far as I have seen, all anger has ever done is gotten Ana and ourselves into trouble. I don't think there was an entire moment in our quest where anger has gotten anything done except people hating us, and not think things rationally getting us to fail our problems.

Think about it, we used anger to beat someone up for trying to kill Absolution, or used anger to set someone on fire and drop them off a building only to get everyone hating us, ruining Ana and our reputation despite our good intentions to try to save Ana's life or save someone else's thus creating more enemies for us

we used anger to get tricked into hurting future Logan's daughter by accident without thinking rationally first.

we used anger to protect Ana from Tv Head from his previous life only to unintentionally end Tv Head's previous life when we didn't mean to,

and we used anger to bully someone into joining us when he most likely didn't want to, and probably still doesn't.

Really, I have not seen proof anywhere in our quest where anger has gotten us nowhere but downwards.

I'm sorry Scarred, but I don't see how any of your "anger gets shit done" philosophy has ever helped us. I'm only asking... begging you not to go corporeal so you can let go, count your losses, think of your actions, learn from your failures, and become a better more prepared person for a better chance of success. You cannot expect success without failures and mistakes to learn from after all.
>>
No. 886565 ID: 9032fc

Mmhmm. And let’s count it up shall we? Because honestly, taking our losses and running isn’t that appealing, neither is leaving you and Laura to die.

Let’s break down what you said because, again, you blame ourselves for shit that isn’t our fault. Because guess what we are, Fortune?

FUCKED.

We set a man on Fire, we set a man on Fire who was responsible for taking our friend hostage and helping unleash a fog that burns other people from the inside out and turned our other friend into a walking and talking sex doll.

We beat the shit out of Clara, a bitch who wanted to kill our friend, and he still died and she still loves the man that killed him even after he threatened to RAPE Ana, dont think I haven’t forgotten that. She needs a SERIOUS reality check.

Flint? Fuck him, he had every chance to walk away. Even when we won, his pride wouldn’t allow it and he died for it.

Boxhead? Now you just sound stupid. You know as well as I had we not intervened he would have killed himself, and he now has a purpose and would follow us to the ends of the earth.
Logan’s daughter? Fuck, you want someone to blame? She is literally standing a few feet away. EVERYTHING involving that poor girl, is ESSENCE’S FAULT.

Even Essence thinks this world isn’t too cruel and so it’s shapped her to where she wants to be cruel herself. Fuck it then, fuck this world and fuck the people it’s shapped. I don’t know if you noticed either but I TRIED Fortune. FUCKING TRIED. IT WAS NEVER ENOUGH.

So you know what?

*looks at Essence and Fortune*

Then let the stupid, hateful, EVIL, world burn. Fuck choices, fuck this, and FUCK HER.
*points at Essence*

LET. IT. ALL. BURN.

You look me in the eye, tell me that we need to roll over for Essence and her world.

im serious dude I am so sick of just rolling over and letting Essence and others just fuck us. Yeah we fucked up, at times, but so many others were so far out of our control and not fair, at what point do we say enough is enough? If this is turning into Summer of Sadism 2.0 I’m not playing it, I’ll play other quests in this universe but I refuse to play with Essence anymore than I have too.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH FOR ONCE YOU CHEAP SUPERNATURAL VILLAIN RIPOFF.

Don’t think I haven’t forgotten you, once again you come in at EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARENT WANTED. You showed up out of fucking nowhere with your cheap ass hand puppets acting creepy probably pretending you can’t talk or maybe your bit some poor fuckers tongue out. Who cares.

You claim that we wronged your or that this is all for some great vengeance or that you know best for Ana. Wanna know how I’ve seen that’s bullshit? Because you’re IMPULSIVE, you’re ARROGANT,You’re a LIAR, You CANT EVEN CONTROL YOURSELF. You want Ana to dance like a puppet just like you want EVERYONE to dance to your tune. You couldn’t even help yourself when from trying to control ME when we were in FUCKING BED TOGETHER. You cut my face up, and ended a lovely evening you didnt want ME, you wanted to CONTROL ME!

I know who you are Essence. BECAUSE YOUR ME.

I swore I’d kill you. I still haven’t forgotten. I’ve tried to forget it, to look past it and forgive, I’ve tried cutting my losses and waiting it out like Fortune does. But you keep reminding me every day of why you don’t belong here.

If this world is going to burn, then you’re the kindling

*sighs over Scarred using Corporealization* looks like I am ignored as usual.

Essence, Can you prove that portal leads back to our dimension? that feels like another lie and will just lead us somewhere worse, like this dimension's hell or something. You have never shown to be a trustworthy person.

And for the record, I personally never wanted Ana down the confrontational path. I wanted her to take a survivor path or at least the neutral path, but whenever I tried to take Ana off the confrontational path, my ideas were always shot down or ignored by the other voices, or the people I try to guide. That was pretty much why I wanted to start our quest over when we had the opportunity, or revive that dark future.

But the Ash Tree was so insistent and manipulative to Ana and us voices, feeding us thoughts to feel like we are supposed to be taking the confrontational path, and making us think that we are the only ones who can save the world by taking down Root when in actuality, Ana has as much of a chance of taking down Root as pretty much every other person in her world. She isn't as special as the Ash Tree made her out to be. and the Ash Tree made us think Root is a heartless monster that should be taken down.

The Ash Tree never warned that the path of confrontation was a nigh impossible choice either. Really, after thinking about it, I blame the Ash Tree for everything that got us in this situation.

Well, of course Scarred wouldn't take that exit.

I'll ask again, where exactly does the portal to escape lead? Obviously it is not where you say it would lead. Because if Scarred did take that portal to escape back home, it wouldn't be back to our dimension, it would be somewhere she wouldn't be able to escape from and/or a place of endless suffering for her. That way you'd be able to gloat if she didn't Escape like she just chose, and you would be able to gloat if by some miracle Scarred did choose to escape with you saying that scarred could have stayed and saved Laura but instead got herself trapped or something worst. Really that choice is a lose/lose situation for her

And say that exit does lead back home like you say it does, can you prove it? I bet you can't. In fact, I dare you to prove that the portal is an escape back to our dimension.

*slightly shakes head in disagreement*

Can you prove that she will become a guiding spirit again if she takes that portal?

The fact that you are side-stepping my simple easy dare for you to prove to me that the portal really does lead her back to her dimension and not some sort of trap, and instead seeing you get angry over my simple easy dare of you showing said proof while instead telling me it doesn't matter where you send her shows to me that it really does matters to us where that portal leads. Even if nothing harms her if she takes that portal, I'm sure it is still a trap that will make her suffer in other ways.

So with that in mind, I double dog dare you to prove to me where that portal leads, and without a shadow of doubt that the portal you opened up really sends her somewhere safe in our dimension and not some sort of trap.

If it really doesn't matter where you send her because she'll become a guiding spirit again like you said, then you should have no problem in proving to us right now that it sends her somewhere safe in our dimension... otherwise, you will be seen as just a coward, making your gloating to us useless if we lose.

It is funny to me how you are using the excuse that I am distracting you from Laura's actions as a scapegoat to avoid my simple little dare. Distracting you was not my main objective here and your starting to look like a lying coward.

I legitimatly triple dog dare you to proove that the portal you have open for scarred will lead her back to our dimension, and not some sort of trap that will make her suffer in any way whether she becomes a guiding spirit again or not.

If you dont take my dare, you will instead have. In your consciousness that you are a coward that lies to others and lies to yourself, making your gloating to Scarred hold no water.

Show us please.

Oh, and we shouldn't forget to take to account that you have an ability to make people see illusions, such as that time you made us think our viking friend Derrick was talking to Absurdity during an interview when Derrick was actually talking to Root. part of proving that portal will lead Scarred somewhere safe means also proving you won't use your illusionary powers when you show us. For instance, perhaps you can prove the portal leads to safety without it being an illusion by making a one-way portal to where Absurdity is being held at. We are still linked to the area where Absurdity is in, so we will be able to see the portal from his end as well from our end once you activate the portal to his location.

So yeah. with that in mind, show us without a shadow of doubt that the portal truly leads Scarred to safety and in no way whatsoever a trap. That way, we will see if Scarred will truly take the portal after showing us proof the portal is truly safe, and you will deserve the right to gloat if she does not take it.

*gives a moment of silence and a prayer for that person that got severed*

Well, Essence. I applaud you for showing proof that your portal does lead to Ana's dimension at least.

But your actions proved to me that if Scarred had taken that portal, you would of immediately close the portal back up if she would of entered it mid-way through, slicing Scarred in half, killing her, just like you did to that poor person, allowing you full control of Scarred Ana. I know you, you are a liar who wouldn't take risks of having Scarred just run around potentially ruining your plans if she'd of taken the portal, even if she couldn't control Ana anymore.

That said, you failed to prove to me Scarred would be safe if she would of attempted to cross the portal. Your gloating will now be seen as useless. You have lost my dare.

I am a little more clear headed after that little truth or dare game. Our next action will not matter whether you hear what I say to my allies or not, so listen away. That said, nice talking to you Essence.

Dreamwalker, let me ask you this: you might not like this, but since Scarred and I are in a physical form, how would you feel about using that one technique on Scarred and me? the one that your fire headed guide insisted you are supposed to be doing, but you often refused because of how unethical it is? It might give you a fighting chance against Essence, but for the price of Scarred and my minds and most likely our lives as well. And I think at this point, either you do this and you have a fighting chance, or we all get killed here together this next turn. Plus, you are allowed multiple moves to use that technique on the both of us because you will be harming Scarred and I, just like how Essence harmed Karikatura Scarred Ana to her advantage, and was still allowed multiple moves because of a loophole as she said. And sure, we might become her puppets, but at least she will not have our memories. That is one disadvantage she will have.

Listen Dreamwalker, Laura. I know you really don't want to do this to us, but Scarred and I are dedicated enough to sacrifice ourselves to save the two of you. Please use that technique on us now. Start with me first since I'm already weak so you can get a good feel on how it works, then Scarred.

As usual, let me hear what you all think, Laura, Dreamwalker, and Scarred.

Good. Because remember, Laura has the evisceration status effect which lasts of one of her turns.

I thought long about it. And yeah. It is something we don't want to do, Laura, but something that we need to do at this point... and doing this is not just going to help save you from this fight, but also save you from whatever comes after you when you get back to your world.

All I ask of you Dreamwalker is whatever happens, protect Laura through this new world. You can either choose to confrontational revenge like Scarred wanted Ana to do, but I really, really must ask you not to take that confrontation route for Laura and instead do what you can to take a survival route for Laura, or a nuetral path and be an observer of how this world will change. Just remember There are other ways to be a hero than being confrontational

And Laura, Bon Voyage.

YOU FOOL! Did you think I would be grateful? Happy? Look at me! LOOK AT ME, LAURA!

*grabs her face to stare into her eyes. Surprisingly her own start to fill with tears*

The only thing I live with is pain! I’ve grown so accustomed to it that I don’t feel it anymore! I want this world to burn just so I can stop feeling it! It hurts so badly and I want it to STOP! But you.... YOU ROBBED ME OF IT!

...

You’re not weak Laura, you’re scared. You’re scared to take a life. You want to know what it’s like to kill? It’s goddamn awful, it hurts your very soul to do it and the more it happens the more numb we are to it. But I still have nightmares of it all and I just want them to go away, and this isn’t murder Laura, it’s surgery.

I’ve gotten so tired of it all, I want to rest, I want to just... Be Ana again. Not Scarred Ana, not a great warrior, a failed hero and a failed mother. I just want so badly to rest.

Please, just let me rest.

Anything Essence says is going to be ignored.

Suggestor's note: actually, I found how I can fix your action there, bud

*after noticing how angry Scarred was getting, Fortune Ana pulls Scarred Ana away from Laura before she can knee Laura in the chest. But lets her rant on*

heh, this situation is actually a little funny. Wasn't Ana in a similar situation? with the Leaf kid asking her to kill him? And we refused much like the same reason Laura is refusing to sacrifice us?

Let me ask you Scarred, if you can go back to that moment with the leaf kid, would you take his request of taking his life?

And, um, thanks for the hug, Laura. I think I might have forgotten how comforting that was, especially with a lot of people despising us. It is nice to be cared for.

I'll have to think of another strategy.

The way how I see it right now, you have two options and you are split down the middle on this decision. Now do you want to go and pressure her to do it or do you want to try a different approach?

suggestor's note: what I disagreed on most and what really made me upset is how Scarred was taking a violent approach at Laura, our friend and one of the very few characters in this story that actually showed compassion to Scarred and Fortune Ana. With that in mind, the fact that Scarred Ana was calling her a fool, and even causing her harm especially at low hp was really upsetting me, kind of like witnessing an abusive relationship between a couple. It was really disturbing. It is also reminding me of how Scarred Ana treated Ana when she was first deciding whether or not to join Cera or not, and it caused Ana to just get angry and abandon us at the time.

Really when I said think of a different strategy I was thinking more of thinking of a different more supportive approach to get Laura to sacrifice our characters to save her life without resorting to violence or scaring her by shouting at her and calling her a fool. I instead want us to take a non-violent route and bee understanding of Laura's thoughts but still try to show her that sacrificing us is something she needs to do.

But if we are taking the violent shouting angry route again like we did with Ana when Cera was trying to have her join her, I can't stand by quietly this time around to see this happen again. So to Harbard, sorry but please think of a more understanding approach to Laura that will have her sacrifice us and give her a fighting chance to escape. She really cares about our suffering. Please show her that you care for her too and show her that there is nothing to be afraid of

*hugs back* really, thank you for the hug. I never realized how much I needed one after seeing so many people against us.

I think of it like this, Laura. You are not necessarily sacrificing us if you take our minds. Rather, I think of it as our minds living on through you, guiding you in other ways.

But please Laura, if you care about us you will let us make this choice on our own. I’ve lived with pain for so long, I don’t want to feel it anymore. I don’t want be “Scarred Ana” anymore, I just want to be me. I want to see my husband again, to see my friends again. Not be a warrior, not a hero, just me.

Please let me rest, give that last good dream. Please

Hmm. Well, I will say we once had to solve a very difficult riddle with the prize being to have a chance at saving a friend from a bomb, but with the punishment of failure being having Ana's tongue cut off. With such a risky scary consequence, we decided to push through with solving the difficult riddle. We got the wrong answer, but we were rewarded the chance anyway because we were only being tested on our bravery to see if we would push forward despite the consequences.

Fun fact, the person giving the riddle was the same person who was colleagues with Black Tomato, the guy responsible for helping you form a pact with Dreamwalker.

But yeah, this is kind of like the same situation we are in again.

It’s a bad habit I have, I get excited or think some idea is good or a good Role-play and jump the gun. Sorry.

The main reason I went with this is because while I’ve been RPing that’s Scarred is tired and wants to pretty much be done it leaves the question of who is going to guide Ana? Would Scarred and Fortune just reset? Or would they be gone? I wanted to have something to fall back on. A Stranger and Mythweaver won’t get involved in the actual fight, Hell A Stranger wants all the Ana’s across time and space to stop fighting each other Android work together, it’s why he wants Essence alive. Regardless is AMM’s call, but I think it’s a good idea and should at least be considered.

Her lungs now fully exposed, she take the hot knife again, she pries them out. Scarred then folds them over her shoulders, the blood eagling done.

Tell you what, i’ll make you a deal, show me that you can even treat an enemy with kindness. Bring all of them back right now. End the fight and i’ll gladly go with you. But let them walk away. I can’t guarantee you won’t come to blows again but should that happen I will be on your side.

Just me trying something different. Because honestly I don’t like any of those choices. I join you hooray, but they stay dead, boo. You kill me, hooray, but now you’re alone, boo. Neither of us gain here Essence, I’ve offered a way that we can all walk away happy, but again it seems control is more important than love to you. To be truthful I don’t really want to hurt anyone anymore. So your offer of “you’ll be the one handing out scars” isn’t appealing either, by that regards you will have me as torturer, whoop-de-doo. I’m sick of ultimatums, choices, and just general unhappiness. So i’ve decided not to choose anything. I don’t pick you or them, if we can arrive at a decision where we all benefit then I’m all ears but as it stands it’s not happening. I know I may very well be damning myself to death with this knowing you, but I wanted to try, because god damnit, you all deserve better.

*a sudden punch with the strength of a canon shoots forward and knocks Essence in the face, dislocating her jaw. Scarred Ana immediately turns the oily black color of Desolation, her hair and skin becoming onyx iron, fingers like claws, and her jaw opening to only show a demonic mouth of dagger-like teeth, She continues to land blow after blow, each faster than the next, but none of them lethal. Bones break, blood flies. Scarred then twists and locks Essence into a hold on the ground and buries her hand into her chest with her claws, but they only go skin deep until they’re find what she was looking for. The Roots, not breaking them like Essence has done with the roots that form her horns, but all the roots thar run through her body. She grabs and pulls with titanic strength, UPROOTING Essence of Life, DISCONNECTING her from her regenerative souce and her connection to The Ash Tree. Scarred never gives her a chance to unpause the game. If Essence is going to play unfairly, why should she? She continues to pull all the roots out, no matter how many come out how much slack they have, how bloody, or how much she screams, and NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES, FUCK THEM, FUCK HER CHOICES, FUCK THIS GAME, FUCK ESSENCE OF LIFE.

I have an idea of how we can put Falafaf out of commission without killing her. We need to stun her so that she loses her turn. My attack can have an element put on it for some mana, if I do lightning I can stun. Since they can’t see each other Essence will have to be the one to heal her meaning she will also lose her turn then I stun her again. That should give you an opportunity to get some really good licks in.

Alright then battle plan for this go around, Fortune you draw first and try to get us a boost.

Depending on what she draws she may stun Falafaf or something else that can prevent her turn. If that’s the case Laura you and me attack Essence.

If it’s not something like that however I will attack Falafaf with lightning to stun her, then Laura you dreamsword Essence.

You ready for this?

And yet here you are crying over me... As though I had the power to hurt you like you claim my own morality hurts me...

Everything you just said can apply to you too... Maybe not an addict of confrontation, but an addict of your own enslaved mentality, only ever able to see yourself as the put down, low, self loathing woman you were and still are.

Okay. Lets huddle... except you, Scarred, don't listen in on us, we do not know what your influence status effect can do, and for all we know, it could have our enemies listen into our plans. We will let you know what you will do after Dreamwalker, Laura, and I come up with a plan or two. For now, stand over there with your ears covered or something.

Fortune 1
Laura 2
Scarred 3

Scarred has the ability shake it off which can get rid of that status effect but if she does that she loses her chance to stun Falafaf again. Fortune your draws are the most random so you need to go first to either stun Falafaf or remove the effect from Scarred or any other effect you think would work well, Laura you attack Essence of course, and Scarred will shake it off or stun depending on Fortune’s move.

- Valkyries wrath, Scarred Ana takes on the form of Desolation, attacks increase drastically at the cost of defense. Can allow multiple attacks, 500 mana cost. Number is 94
- Shake it off, Removes any effect on self or ally, 100 mana cost. Number is 25

Corporealize:
In the place of Summons, Scarred Ana has Corporealize. She enters combat with no body and no form and thus cannot attack, defend, or use items. When not corporeal, appears as her guiding spirit form (that being Ana with her eyes hidden in her long sleeve shirt and pants). Upon using this, she becomes how she looked on her journey, Strong with heavy scars on her face and a missing middle finger, her right eye glowing, and with her trade mark items, her Svardstav, Gungnir, and the black Mythweaver long coat. Corporeality lasts for 5 turns unless used on the fifth turn to remain corporeal. If she goes in corporeal all wounds and mana return to normal but enemies will lose their status effects inflicted by her, and charging blade will reset. Still has 3 turns left before it’s needed again

hm, 300 from dreamsword, + 700 from Gungnir svardstav + 1800 from powered up focus shot = 2800 total damage she too so far, and she still doesn't look like there is a scratch on her. what a tough cookie we have here. I was hoping that move would of done it.

anyway, neither do I. I do not know what Essence is trying to accomplish. It is getting to the point where I am beginning to suspect that even Essence herself doesn't know what she wants to accomplish.

Laura, Fortune is just as manipulative as Essence , and Scarred is just as crazy as her, you decide what to do but I hope you know what you are risking if you choose to continue to try and kill Falafaf. Understood?

Fortune. I don’t give a shit about flint, but I do care about that woman. Or do my feelings not care? You used to care. You want to know what I think, I think you should cut the bullshit, if you want to kill Falafaf for some slight, You do it. Don’t drag Laura down with you

But I’m warning you, if you have the bones to kill the woman I love, you had best be prepared for the repercussions of that choice.

Something I can’t shake off is why we got ejected from flint’s head when we tried to talk with him. I don’t think he was the one who ejected us I think Essence was. I think he is their weak link if we break through to him, we might be able to stop this.

Actually Fortune I had a plan this whole time. So far it’s working out well. Here’s what I’m think we should do. I’ll finish off Falafaf, I won’t kill her, in fact I know exactly what will do the trick, and it’s the lightest attack I could think of, but it will do the job.

After my attack Laura should try to get in contact with Flint again. And here’s the thing, he sees us as his children. So let’s be his children then. Don’t call him flint call him daddy. It’s wrong sounding but it might be the only way we can get him out the fight, Essence will just drain him further. If we get him out as quickly as possible the fight is over.

Here I go!
*Scarred leaps up high into the air twirling her weapon hard, she bounces off some unseen roof and rockets off in different directions her motions getting faster and faster. She launches her self at Falafaf after numerous ricochets off of the walls, the blade of her Svardstav forward! But at the last moment she seems to warp around, going high over Falafaf’s head. She lands then launches herself at Falafaf but stops just short of her, with her arm outstretched towards her. Falafaf has just enough time to look behind her.*

Good fight, now sit down.

I know you want us to cast away our morals, Essence, but to me it is not about morality, it does not concern me in my want for neutral survival in this harsh changing world. What does concern me is the negative consequences that comes with killing her.

Plus you used to get annoyed by people who live their actions without consequences. Now you are telling us to kill her thinking it will be benificial to us even though I know full well that killing her will cause the detrimental consequence of so many more people associated with her to try and get revenge against us. It is not healthy to make any more enemies than we already have made at this point.

Plus we have tried being immoral before from injuring Clara, sacrificing Felafaf do kill a spirit parasite, or taking away everything from Logan's daughter, and all it caused was more people wanting vengeance against us, even hindering any progress we could of made, some of which you help cause Essence.

So what benefits would be even worth killing Felafaf that will completely overshadow the long term consequences, Essence? Convince me.

mmhmm. to be honest I had little faith that Scarred's plan would work, but it was a small price to pay for the last domino of my own plan to be very carefully placed after playing along with it. That said and with my apologies, but the knocked out Felafaf isn't going to die.

Now then, for your turn, Laura and Dreamwalker, I'm not asking you to kill Felafaf as you all are against that. Instead, it is required for you, Laura while Felafaf is still knocked out to consume her memories so that you may prepare yourself for what is coming. Do not worry, Felafaf's mind will live on through Dreamwalker. Quite literally. She'll be okay.

No. She won’t Fortune.

You forget that when we had the chance to eat your memories you would have been left in a vegetative state. Essentially, you would be dead. I can see in your mind you don’t say this out of hatred or a grudge against Falafaf. You’re saying this to keep Laura and Myself alive.

Fortune, I brought you back because I wanted you to have a chance to win this but I did it at the cost of myself. I am fine with hurting myself to give you another chance. What I am not fine with is hurting others for my benefit.

I’ve lived a long time, and what I’ve seen countless time since is when humans who hurt others always try to justify it with other reasons. One of the most common is to defend the freedoms of another. But at what point do we need to realize these are carefully constructed lies? That we are taking the easy way rather than whats right?

Doing the right thing isn’t easy, it can be hard. But in the end, that’s what separates us from people like the cult, or Essence. Essence has stopped trying to do the right thing and now deludes herself that she is in the right, all the while she willfully ignores what she is doing. It’s sad at this point.

Fortune, I can’t allow that action to go forward. But now you at least know why, I can’t let you stoop to that level.

found it. It says that:

Laura can still use her turn

You say this is an easy way out that I'm choosing, but I want you to at least realize that this was a much more difficult choice for me to make than you may think. I know what I am sacrificing and the many negative consequences that comes with it, the friends I'll lose, and the trust of others I will lose. But to me, I value Laura's and Dreamwalker's life to stop your sufferings any way I can. I just wish Dreamwalker you value your life a little more despite your brother's death. Value your life at least for Laura's sake you you can live on healthy enough to protect her. Please.

that said Scarred, your path you are choosing of confrontation and what your are sacrificing has just as much negative consequences in it as my choice with what I am sacrificing. The decision I am choosing I do not see as an easy way out as you are putting it. It is difficult for me too.

My mind is made up. If you really don't want Laura to go with my plan, I suggest you convince her off my decision.

I apologize.

It’s not really your call to make. You can suggest things to her but ultimately it’s Laura’s decision. She was reluctant to eat us, so... I don’t know.

I choose the path of confrontation because it means not changing who I am, holding to my morals. Because I want to stand for something right and what I believe in. I would rather save a life than take it, I want take the hard way because that’s the only way forward.

Fortune! We need to argue! She noticed us when it looked like we were arguing that’s our distraction! If we can distract her by making her focus on the both of us I‘d what we are saying we can get her attention, then Laura can get through the barrier! If it’s just one of us then it’s obvious it’s a trick!

So kind of off topic here, but you ever seen the Big Lebowski? Help me find things to argue over here and we need to sound convincing!

*interrupts Essence talking* I'll keep this short. I feel If it takes long for Flint to charge up his move, then it is supposed to be a move that takes two turns to activate. You starting a conversation is just distracting us, and stalling for time for him to do his move on this turn instead. That said, take your turn, Essence. lets keeping this battle rolling.

I can knock Falafaf’s health down, Fortune you should do the weak attack, just a flick in the face or a kick to the shins. You get the idea. I noticed Essence seems to really take notice when it looks like we can decide on anything. Fortune I suggest you ask me why I just rushed ahead and attacked Falafaf before we were finished talking or something to that effect and we make it make it look like we just can’t agree on strategy.

inner thoughts: I should of known she would attack first since Laura is only able to do weak attacks with low mp, and I'm not capable of doing strong moves. Guess I have no choice then

Laura, Please await further instructions, change of plans

Laura, please stay calm and do not get mad at me. Getting upset is what is causing us problems. I do not want you to start arguing like Scarred has been doing the previous turn

For the record, I did not mean to throw my wand at her. I had a ice spell to finish her off with, and tried to swing the spell at her as hard as I can, but the wand slipped right out of my hand as I swung it. I do not know if I got too excited, or if I hesitated, or if there is another hidden person we cannot see without the moon card that slipped me up, but I failed and I apologize.

That said Laura, I know you are hesitant in attacking Felafaf since we were supposed to also deal with TV head quickly this turn after Felafaf was dealt with so we can only deal with just the robot when it comes, and the fact TV head will still be here is preventing you from attacking her instead of him, but you have to finish what I started. Please attack Felafaf

*looks over at Scarred* I do not care what Scarred says at this point. If she isn't willing to listen and go with our plan, we shouldn't listen to her anymore

Yeah I recognize that woman, that’s Madame Rosaline. I guess you could consider her to be his girlfriend or something. Actually their relationship is a little weird. She is a spider woman who ages rapidly and who ended up having sex with flint and having kids with him. What he sees us are images of his kids. Why we are attacking them I don’t know. But I bet we can find out.

Just start out simple, say his name, get his attention

I thought you would say something like that Scarred. And I think you should be aware that you calling me manipulative is hypocritical when you manipulated Ana to do some things that hurt and traumatized her for life, like having her try to save gretal only for her to get kidnapped and hurt by Gretal's bodygaurd, or having her almost get eaten by the Mad World painting to try to help him when it was obviously a detrimental move. Your risks in trying to save people is hurting the people that we guide physically, and hurting their sanity. You have to realize right now more than ever, Scarred, that some lives are just not worth saving.

Which brings me to Felafaf *points at Felafaf* I know that you want to save her, and I probably had a idea some turns ago to spare her, but your constant deviations from our plans, and your constant leaping into action without thinking like Leroy Jenkins closed up those paths. Which is why we are here. If Laura does not kill Felafaf now, that is it, we are guaranteed to lose, and you will lose your chance to save trillions of lives like the hero you want to be, and Essence will have Ana become a universe destroying monster. We will have to bloody our hands and put a few people out of their misery to prevent that dark reality from happening, and you can continue taking names and saving lives

what was that Star trek quote? The Needs of the Many Outweigh the Needs of the Few? It applies here. That said, drop the subject Scarred, lets finish Laura, and my plan or I might have to do something drastic that nobody here will like in order for me to see this plan done...

Don’t patronize me, not only are you manipulative, by you are indecisive! How many times have I needed your help, and because of your refusal to act Ana had only ME, to rely on! We aren’t supposed to work together and yet you can only sit by! I still haven’t forgiven you for taking that overly long NAP, while I got my ARM CUT OFF! Or did you forget about that? Your inaction is just as harmful!

If you are going to be judgements about my actions, take a look in the mirror! How many times have we known the right action? How many times can we honestly try and be a good person? Being a hero means standing up for what’s right, even at the cost of oneself! You’re more of a politician! You sit by and let others act without and let them take the blame for everything and then get angry when they don’t want to follow your rules! It’s shameful!

So it comes to this. You complaining that I left you behind to hide away. You know I thought I made it clear multiple times that I never really wanted us to play the hero, right? I think I explained that rather recently. And yet you still talk to me like I am a hero.
That is some good listening skills, buddy. Will really help Ana out in the future /sarcasm.

Do you even know why I left you at that moment, Scarred? it wasn't out of fear and to get away from Essence. It was actually to get away from you. You are an embarrassment to be around with your constant screaming anger and quick self destructive attitude to yourself and the people you are guiding without thinking. the last straw was when I wanted to go back when we had the chance to the Bringer of Nightmare Ana's timeline and start a new life in helping her sort out her sins and do the right things, possibly maybe fixing things in that timeline instead of giving up and destroying it. Even Essence didn't want us to do that risking everything. But you and Robbit pressured me into taking your path as usual, never really letting me take a path I would want us to take for once in major decisions like that. Your choices are just not making any progress and hindering us like it is now. Like the Mad World painting results. Your dumb choices is making me want to distance myself away from you.

So seeing as you have pressured me into choices I never liked, with nasty results, it is time I take control of the situation to fix things you've broken Scarred. Essence did say that if I want Ana to take a certain path, the best way to do so is to make her. That goes for you too, Scarred Ana. I'm giving you one last chance to help me convince Laura to finish what I started in finishing off Felafaf, or I will do something drastic to force you into my decision. You will not like what idea I have, I can assure you, Scarred.

So...

I stand alone then. And to think, I considered you my best friend, Fortune. And now you openly flaunt yourself as though you are a victim. That's just... Pathetic. I don't think of you as a hero, I spoke to you as my partner in this. Not anymore. And you certainly don't speak like a politician either. Those sound like the words of a tyrant.

Is this your vengence then? Force me into it like I have "forced" you? You could always have continuously said no, showed more resolve, and we could have discussed it further, you know I would have wanted to listen to you. I may have disagreed, but I always thought you were more logical than me. And yet you now cave. That's not what a partnership is, that's a dog being pulled on a leash. Well now it seems this dog is going to bite. You wish to blame me for the collapse of that timeline? Fine, I accept it openly as my just punishment but do not pretend as though you did all you could to stop it. Quitter.

And just how is it you know your plans will fare any better? Are you that confident in your abilities? Or do you just want to press onward out of spite. If it's the latter, I sincerely hope you can see the bitter irony of it all.

But the worst thing of all, and something I can't believe you would do, is forcing Ana. I will not pretend as though I have not done it in the past, I'm sure you can recall any given point where I have done it. But now you seek to do even worse? You would attempt to copy the pattern of Essence? I have no words for that, Fortune...

You? alone in this? sorry to say this, but please get off your high horse.

Dreamwalker has been blindly following the exact same path as you are. He is so blind, I bet he wouldn't even tell if someone is possessed by a spirit parasite or not. Ironic, since he is literally a giant eye. It is like you both have a hive mind or something.

Plus it seems like Ana is more interested in listening to you more than me. She has always been on your side no matter what, not mine. There were instances where she ignored my requests to keep her out of danger, not even acknowledging what I said while she instead followed your every instruction to put herself in danger without question. Thanks to your influence, Ana when she couldn't hear us without our totems even made the decision to insult Cera after that whole choice of whether she joins Crea as the Bringer of Nightmares or not instead of my wishes to stay polite and calm and not be seen as a threat so we can possibly travel through the forest without more complications. Ana even thought my decision was a wiser choice at that moment, but went with yours because she thought you were quote unquote: "cool"

So no, you seem to be the one with followers listening to your words while I'm the one alone in this constantly ignored.

And you calling me a tyrant? so you believe that trying to attack in self defense to save my friends is considered a tyrant move? What about you? While I'm trying to save my friends, you seem to want to put yourself, my friends and me in danger, hurting the people you are supposed to protect. It is like you are some kind of masochist wanting yourself to suffer, and dragging us with you to suffer in hopes we would join you in experiencing the "pleasures" of pain. Why else do you have so many battle injuries from your past life while I barely have a scratch on myself from my past life?

And I have in different instances tried to continuously say no as you suggested, and tried to discuss different matters further, but your screaming keeps deafening your own ears to not listen to reason, and call me things like a "coward", or a "fool" until I have to just give up as we are constantly in a split second decision moment that doesn't give me enough time for us to discuss things.

And I may not know if my plans would fare better or not, but after constant failures from having people we guide follow your advice to leap into danger, it has to be at least a little better to do something I want for us instead... for once.

And you comparing me to Essence is very one track mind of you. You seem to either see people have only metaphorical light switches that switch from light (good) and dark (evil) in people when you do not realize that some people prefer to have dimmer light switches installed and set to the middle. I have no interest in destroying people or worlds just for the fun of it like Essence nor do I have interest in being a hero and saving lives. But you both have tainted that path for Ana far too much that it will be very difficult to change the path for protection I want for Ana.

Rosaline was dealt a very bad hand for her life. Her mother worked as a scientist who received her funding from the cult. Not wanting to lose the commission she recieved from them, her mother saw no other choice when it looked as though her research might fail. She’s began to experiment with aggressive breeds of spiders that she had mutated, and then used her Rosaline, her daughter as guinea pig. She hid spider with her toys knowing it would bite her. The effects of which mutated been body, changing her arms to chitonous appendages. There was one more side effect of this mutation, rapid aging. Within the soon of at least 5 years she went from being age 10 or 8 to at least a young twenty-something. She distanced herself comepletely from her mother and younger brother. I don’t know what became of them but I do know she still loves her brother.

Facing prospect of an early death, she began to indulge herself, attempting to live as she saw fit, including drinking, sex, the whole nine yards. Even though she herself was no older than around 15, she began to build an identity for herself based on the ideas of what she thought “a lady” would act and look like. It seems despite this however she seemed to rise through the ranks of the cult, even gain a small group of followers and henchmen she called “teacups.”

One of her indulgences though seemed to have an unforeseen consequence, that being the conception and subsequent “birth,” of children. I don’t think Flint exactly knew it but he was the one carrying their children, don’t ask me how this works, I don’t really understand it either. It seems that while they were inside him they even had some cognitive sense. Regardless however this was not something this was prepared to deal with. For her it must have been like a teenage pregnancy, unsure and scared of what to do.

So she struck a bargain with Flint’s mothers. They would be the ones to raise her children and she would have no part of their lives. This deal upset Flint however, as he wanted to be a family with her but she wanted no part. In the end I think he just caved. I think the reason she wanted this bargain in the first place was two fold. One was any children she had she would have no idea what to do with, and on top of this it would interfere with her wanting to live life as she wanted it. The second reason and this is more of my speculation but I think she knew if they stayed with her there was always a chance her mother could re-enter her life and do worse to them.

And you want Ana to blindly follow you!? If that isn’t the blind leading the blind. Or rather mutes. Again if you have felt this way why not try to show a little more initiative! Really try to get my attention! You’ve done that before.

Oh wait, I know why you don’t. Because you’d rather shoulder the burden like some kind of mule. I still remember when we saved 93 and needed to decide what to say, gotta say fortune but you were being one wet pussy that day. You wanted to take the blame for everything, even the things that were so beyond our control. Imagine what saying m something like that could do to Ana, or worse make her submissive than she actually is.

If you do choose to take this bogus deal then that would just be proving my point, you can act tough and say whatever you want now because your talking to me, but when the chips are down you will just roll over like a scared puppy!

Why would you say I want Ana to blindly follow me when I have been trying not to keep secrets from her the best I can and try to keep her on the same page?

And in regards to you saying me showing more initiative and getting your attention to convince us to do something. Ummm... *ahem* isn't that what I am doing literally right now to try to get you to realize the dangerous situation we are currently in? And yet, it isn't working as it hasn't worked before as you keep screaming insults at me until I am forced to give the baby her bottle and you get to have your way as you are right now.

going down this line of thinking, perhaps it was the fault of your intimidation on me which turned me into a submissive coward at the time. Sure I may have been too selfless then, but if I was too selfless, you were seen as far too selfish not wanting to own up and learn from the mistakes we actually made and portray Ana as some kind of narcissist who believes is never at fault like a certain someone who will remain nameless here. That wouldn't be a good impression on 93, now would it?

You have far too much domination over the way we've been guiding Ana, Scarred. It probably wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for you clinging on to your past life, and people who you used to see as good friends with whom are now gone or against us in this life. Yet you try to have Ana relive your "glory days" despite how vastly different this life has gotten compared to yours. Please just let go of the past you desperately want Ana to relive, and try to perceive the real issues going on in the present.

What would you know!? You don’t remember anything of your past, you’re a blank slate! Me, I’m haunted by ghosts of what I’ve done, all those who died fighting with me, FOR ME! More than anything I don’t want Ana to face the same horrors as me! Do not pretend like I have it so good, when you take a walk in my shoes then I will let you chastise me about my past.

As for finally standing up for yourself, yes I am happy you are showing initiative. But do not dare try to proclaim you are the only one who knows better or that I am the one who made you fold. You made the choice to give up.

AND GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY GIRLFRIEND!!!
>>
No. 896717 ID: ae9b99

If you don't want Ana to not face the same horrors you have faced, then you should of stopped trying to have Ana confront Root like you have in your past life, and helped me help Ana fight for her own life and not risk her life being hero for others like you want her to be, getting her involved an in deeper trouble she didn't need to be.

Right then, Essence, I do not think a contract will be necessary. Where you see a lost cause in Scarred, I see a golden possibility here that I have been waiting up to this moment to use. Besides, signing the contract and giving up on getting Scarred to actually see the condition we are in will just make me a quitter as Scarred has been saying I've been. If I am to be an effective guide, I'll have to not give up and tame this wild screaming scarred beast as the hunter I am.

And here is how I will do that. Scarred, I have mentioned a couple of times that if you do not settle down and stick with the plan, I would be forced to do something both you and I won't like. Right now, despite not liking what I'll do, my intuition is telling me it is something I have to do regardless as ignoring my intuition has gotten me unfavorable results in the past.

So here is the Coup de grâce where I will give you a choice. Yes, it is one of those cliche choices in which it feels like a "I win you lose" kind of choices that we find ourselves in constantly, but it is required for me to give in order to help put you in the right perspective.

here is your decision Scarred: If you agree to the plan of finishing off Felafaf, I will continue to support you, Laura, and Ana, and we can forget this little humiliating argument of ours never happened.

However, if you do not agree to the plan of putting Felafaf out of her misery, and put our lives into another dubious gamble instead, then I am immediately leaving the battlefield first chance I get before our turn ends to have you and Laura fend for yourselves while I search for a new person to guide in this harsh world. I'm sure the nice demon who created this battlefield will agree to find me a person to help guide and start fresh. I know a sinking ship when I see one.

And I'm sure you know that you cannot stabilize yourself to survive without my support Scarred. Not just in this dumb rpg battle, but in the universe ana resides in as well. I can already seeing you falling apart without my support calling Essence your "girlfriend". Lets face it, You need me. But if you want my support, you have to make the right decision and agree with the plan.

There really is no reason to be upset. I was just merely giving my closing thoughts to Scarred to keep her quiet as her screaming will just disrupt and annoy my thought process on your choices you're giving me, Essence. We can't be having her disrupting my thought process as she has been doing to Ana all this time after all. You know how dangerously convincing Scarred's influence can be, Essence. I mean, look at her now. She is finally speechless with no more ammo in her arguments.

I've already made my choice and I simply want to read the contract before I sign it. Besides, how else am I going to appreciate and savor the tremendously hard work you've put into leading me to this prodigious choice and into the contract you're offering on this momentous occasion?

*whispers to Essence so Scarred doesn't hear* plus, wouldn't it be funny to see Scarred squirm and cringe in screaming agony and defeat as I read through it and show more and more genuine interest in the job offer you are giving me?

No. 897959 ID: ae9b99

Suggestor's note: I only have a request for Harbard: I know I cannot stop you, and you can read what Null has to say if you want. But I'd really appreciate that you will not read what he has to say in void speak to Demoria. Storytelling wise, I want to keep what Null says a surprise and not cause spoilers. I am sure Demoria will reveal a rundown on what Null will say in a nutshell when she gives her answer to Essence.

*in void speak with Demoria*...hee hee hee, *rubs chin in a contemplative manner* I'm in the same boat as you, Demoria. but you know what they say: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Just as you have a bone to pick with your eyesore of a brother, I have a grudge against those voices. I deduced that they were the ones that influenced my friends like Mike and the others to turn a blind eye to my pain after that mental bitch Betty beat the shit out of me to tend to her concerns instead of mine, or influenced Jerry to insult my studies on a certain asshole spirit and not being supportive of my endeavors of attempting to communicate with said spirit. Those voices were the ones who forced me all alone and empty inside until the last remaining moments of my miserable first life...

But I do not trust that Essence is going to allow me to consume your brother after we win the battle and gain his strength, let alone give us any sort of prize. I smell a scam. So I say we tell Essence we will temporarily join her to finish off those jerks... but only on this one easy condition: *points at the unconscious bodies of Flint and Felafaf* Essence as a small payment will has to allow me to let the void consume the unconscious fortune smeller, and the broken outdated television man immediatly
If she disagrees, we’ll tell her we are required to do this to gain the required strength and energy we need for victory.
If she still disagrees, tell her that what we could do is a little incentive price: I consume the fortune smeller as the starting half price, and then consume the outdated television man as the ending price once we win.

Hey. Marty or Null or Void.

Creepypasta survival guide rule 20.
If you need to sign it in blood, you do not need to sign it. All mainstream governing bodies will accept contracts signed in ink. Bear this in mind if offered deals that seem too good to be true.

I’ve done blood deals with this gal before, they always end up biting you in the ass.

Well that isn't nice, insulting me by calling me names like "Null" or "Void" as if I amount to nothing... like I'm a nobody. You know, you are really making our decision a lot easier.

haaaah, her shouting really hurts my ears. so annoying

anyway, the contract, Demoria. The whole invisible text thing takes me back to my final Halloween party visit where my friend Tom used invisible ink to trick my friends and I into thinking that we were contacting a ghost by writing messages on some weird pictures of a woman. It was ridiculous, but I went along with it because I wanted to believe so much there was a ghost who wanted to contact us. Needless to say, as if to insult me and put salt in the wound, I was the one person who had the written picture that said "YOU GOT TRICKED!!!"

"fool me once shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me" anything written in invisible ink is something people only used to hide the truth and cause cute little pranks on others.

I can feel that when we bloody that contract, those exact works "YOU GOT TRICKED!!!" will pop up and say that as an insult, and have words that read something like "mind controlled slave under Essence for all eternity"... but...

The way those fools are insulting us calling me names, and trying to convince us not to sign it like they are afraid of us is really making me want to ignore the consequences just to put them in their places... not to mention the rewards as well.

What do you say, Demoria? I'd ask her why the text is invisible, and why we can't just have a contract that we can actually read, and says "The signed recipient is not allowed to attack the employer (Essence) of this contract, or leave the battlefield, or deviate from any of the employer's (Essence's) plans until after the contracted battle is finished" or something like that. Seems like a very quick and simple contract to write up. I really want to take those guys down, but this is a time for business, not a time for pranks and invisible ink. After all, you did say we are busy with something right now. See if we can get contracts we can actually read.


(Suggestor's note: Marty and Demoria has never mentioned his new name "Null" to anyone. That is why he believes Scarred is insulting him)

That scared little childlike whimper of a voice... you must be Laura. You know, when I heard that eyesore god Dreamwalker had a girl he is guiding and connected to similar to how I am being guided and connected to the demigod Demoria, I thought to myself, "awesome, a rival that I can compete with and give me more initiative to get stronger, and compare to see how strong I should be on certain points of my journey so that Demoria and I may one day kill you and Dreamwalker in a grand ol' battle...

but seeing you selfishly and desperately plea for us not to enter the battle with the excuse I will be harmed by Essence when you really intend to save yourself from being harmed after Scarred tried to convince me not to bloody the contract shows to me just how much of a cowardly chicken you are, Laura. you are making yourself look like such an easy target for me to take down. Such a shame really, and I thought you wanted to be a brave little hero who wants to undauntedly take down scary giant monsters like me. Perhaps you should face the sad reality that you are just not cut out to live out your dreams. If you still want to waste your time being a hero, at least show some bravery... But I don't think I should blame you. Those voices you are listening to tend to be a terrible influence on the people they guide. Ask yourself this Laura, how often have dreamwalker and those voices put you and others into unnecessary danger during your battle? that is all. I'm not mad, just disappointed in you, Laura.

yay for me, Looks like I'm going to volunteer to be a expendable guinea pig for mistress Demoria. Before I spill blood on this silly contract, let me just get myself hyped up first

heh heh heh...

inner thoughts: wow even my blood is a shadowy void. Not to mention my original name "Marty" is not on the contract. Just Null, written with the bloody void. I wonder if there is anything left of the old me?
It matters not. Marty is dead. I have taken his place. Time to make my debut as Null.


Hm, so for this turn, you want me to attack our oppositions as in plural, like all three of them Essence? you got it

heh, It is a good thing I'm already bleeding

*Null casts "Shadow Rain" on Laura, Fortune Ana, and Scarred Ana* (an attack where blood squirts out of his arm like a water fountain or sprinkler, and rains upon his enemies causing damage to multiple targets. It is like corrosive acid.

after the attack is finished, the blood slides back to Null and is absorbed back into him

to give you an idea of how the attack works, it is kind of like the character Kaede Smith's "blood shower" is in the video game Killer7 (0:43, 1:27, and 1:59) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpVJmy3jHYc )

void speak to Demoria: you are asking if you want to join or not? come on in you party pooper. We got... *looks into Demoria's eyes*

hmmm... you do not seem as enthusiastic to bring on the ultra violence to your brother and his colleagues like I am. My trainer back in sword practices has once said that those who don't put their effort into their fights tend to bring more problems than if they weren't in the battlefield to fight at all. Not to mention you hating Essence will probably have annoying arguments that get in the way and waste time.

besides, we'll have nobody guarding our hideout if both of us are not in attendance in there. It is probably for the best for you to stay at our hideout and keep guard of any rats who may intrude and shit all over our rugs. As the saying goes: "when the cats away, the mice come out to play".

But I do have a question, is the resistance shied still up, or was it destroyed?

It feels like these 3 battles only serve to stall for time until this exact moment, and that even when we win, Laura and Dreamwalker still won't be able to escape, nor will she get any sort of prize. Thinking about it, why even offer these fights in the first place when you can just keep Laura trapped here until her death?

Normally I wish that I could remember parts of my past life like Scarred was able to. But I guess there are advantages to not knowing what my past was and staying detached from it. Because there are next to no one that I recognize from my past to feel any real attachments to if they were to die. I am unburdened. Free.

But that is the eternal dilemma and the core of the problem, do you want to trust a complete stranger who might be untrustworthy or do you refuse his help because it might be risky trusting him. Decisions what to pick, I like giving you decisions which aren't so straightforward. It all comes down to your judgment call, is this a risk worth taking or are you afraid of things turning even worse for trusting this person

Dervan, what do you know about honor, respect, of dignity of a soldier?

These souls are the souls of my men, my brothers and sisters in arms. I know that they might not be able to be saved, but these souls deserve respect. That’s what I’m asking for.

Laura, they lived and died on the battlefield and it’s on the battlefield they will take their final rest. You needn’t feel guilty for me or them. Essence has perverted them I won’t stop you from negotiating or trying, but I ask you not dishonor their memory either.

out of character for a second, maybe it’s me being stubborn or I just don’t like the idea of my characters being used like this but if you plan to do this in the future with any characters of ours please ask before they become enemies or something. My original idea for these guys originally was to just expand the lore of the world the cult and fog has created. And maybe it’s also my hatred of Essence as a Mary Sue villain but it’s not exactly fun if she does stuff like this and has knowledge on a meta level. Okay rant over, continue
>>
No. 903232 ID: ae9b99

hmm. I see. I kinda expected you and Laura would be having misgivings, Scarred.

Dervan let me talk to Scarred for a bit. I'll handle it.

*puts hand on Scarred's shoulder in a friendly manner* If I may, let me put things in a new perspective to help ease you into the fight: these corrupted souls have most likely been suffering from Essence after being kidnapped and then later corrupted by her or her little minion(s)... and by that nobody, Null. Extracting them this way is most likely the best way to give them their respectful heroic eternal rest that you want them to have to end their suffering.

Besides, I would rather spend an eternal death with no afterlife in a state of an everlasting clear mind and peace, free from desire and suffering over the eternal misery in hell like these souls most likely have been suffering through under Essence.

Dreamwalker, do you have a list of moves set up for me and Scarred yet? ... or do you have any concerns?

Essence, it wouldn't also be so long if you keep adding too many phases in the fight. *shrugs* Just sayin'

Hmm, hey Laura, it seems Dervan is mistaking me for the leader when it is actually you who is supposed to be leading during this battle. I'm just giving advice, not leading. I recommend that you be a little more assertive and calm and couragous, like you were when you came up with that plan earlier. That's the Laura I want to see again.

As for what you want to do, Laura, it is unfotunately far too risky as much as I want you to do it. There is something very concerning about Null despite how pathetic he is: I suspect he is an influencing force somehow, much like Scarred and I am whether Null knew it or not. I noticed it while he was speaking to Demoria, it seemed Demoria was asking him for directions on what she should do when they were deciding on whether to fight or not even though she should be making the choices as his master. If Null has that influencing power, he or whatever is controlling him or those corrupted spirits might influence you to do something that will bring down the team if you decide to go with your plan. Not to mention Essnce probably already expects it after you doing it multple time.

If you still disagree with what we're going to do despite the consequences I mentioned, and feel confident and couragous, Laura, I suggest you think hard and show initiative as a leader and make your action to stop us before we start our move.

*bring out magic wand*

I see you ready scarred. Let's begin

Yes I’m ready Fortune, but you bring up a good point. If Laura is our chief in this then she should act first. This must be chive to make if she wants to try talking with them. I won’t stop her. It must be up to her if she wants to do this, if it doesn’t work then it’s a learning process and we can continue. This is what being a leader means.

Laura if you want to try talking with them, do so. We managed to stop Falafaf and Tvhead, why not. You go first.

I meant more the faceplant thing, but your comment did add to the humor a little bit. What can I say, I'm a sucker for slapstick comedy.

*Inner thoughts*
Actually this wasn't wasted at all. It just proved a theory I had about this creature. We saw how when souls could enter it's body and strengthen it, but when a physical body entered it then it got rejected. So this tells me a couple things. One, perhaps being Incorporeal would work better if we try to talk with it, or Laura could actually attempt to talk with it.

Hmmmm... I remember Felafaf once telling Dreamwalker to stay connected with Laura at all costs saying it was more important than he realizes. Laura never seperated with him by not summoning him throughout this battle. Dreamwalker, you think you can directly control Laura? This might be what Felafaf was referring to. If not, then maybe Felafaf truly did betray us.

Nonetheless, we can't give up despite this setback. I'm confident we can still win this

ugh... let me get my bearings...

alright here is the situation Dervan:

I agree, If we defend or negotiate, we'll only get attacked with no progress made...

but...

I also noticed that if we attack, this monster will only grow bigger and more powerful until our attacks won't work on it anymore, or most likely kill us all within the next turn if we attack. Even you said he was supposed to get smaller after each soul lost, yet you were surprised that he instead got bigger and stronger

Not to mention, Laura's soul(?) is in Null now. Killing him will potentially kill Laura now, making the whole purpose of Scarred and myself being here meaningless.

Bottom line, we can't defend, we can't negotiate, we can't attack. I'm going to need to hopefully come up with another solution and fast.

Please give me a moment to meditate to clear my mind and hopefully think up a solution before I make my move.

I apologize for the silence. the mind version of my snickerdoodle butler friend, Mr. Crumpet, was supposed to come in and surprise you with a cake he baked to wish you a happy new birthday to celebrate your new life as a part of Null to comfort you, but he probably is hiding somewhere within Null in a fetal position rocking back, and forth in fear of what is currently happening to Null's, or rather my body. Just as well, we do not have a lot of time left here.

I'll answer your questions the best I can and quickly, Laura:

for your questions of where you are and if you are sitting at a table, I believe your mind have unfortunately been sucked into the void gate against your and my will. You have somehow securely ended up in the deepest recesses of my mind, the only part of myself I have control of after Essence's minion took control of the rest of my mind and body... Lucky you.

Sorry to break it to you, but the void gate is a one way ticket, according to Demoria. I do not think you can get out.

Oh, and yes, you are sitting at a table. A round table where we all see each other as equal, despite misgivings I have had in the past.

Yes that is a bloody drill. Perhaps your new birthday present depending on the results of our discussion. More on that later.

And why we are looking at you brings me to our next point: because of our time here being short we are going to do rapidfire job interview questions with you and Dreamwalker to see if you both are truly worthy enough of being a part of me and perhaps... help rescue my mind from Essence. Just answer the first thing that comes to mind with our questions

Are you ready for the interview Laura? Are you ready Dreamwalker?

You’re “drowning” is one of the reasons is why it has to be a quick rapid-fire questionnaire, not to mention, I do not think I can hide forever here in this last remaining part my mind for long from Essence’s minion. They could find us.

much like how this universe is filled with split second decisions, Do not spend more than 5 seconds on each question asked. Say the first thing that comes to mind so I get a true understanding of yourself

1. Your best friend wants your help to pull a very nasty prank on someone he really hates, who also happens to be a good friend of yours. They threaten to not be your friend anymore if you refuse. How do you respond?

2. With good intentions for your friends at a party, you’ve opened the Pandora’s box you’ve found without knowing what was inside and cursed your friends and yourself, and later, cursed the world. How do you respond?

3. A pal of yours is conducting some life-threatening experiments, and wants your support. You have tried to get them to stop, but they angrily casts your warnings aside. Do you continue protesting trying to save their life but risk putting your friendship to an end, or do you support them keeping your friendship intact despite the dangers?

4. A couple of your friends are going to a forbidden part of the city to get something and invited you to come along despite trying to convince them not to. Do you go with them risking your and/or your friends getting hurt, or do you stay behind in safety while the risk of your friends getting hurt increases without you?

5. You have ran over an animal with your vehicle. The animal happens to be a pet of a neighbor who is known to be very mean and scary, and has begun looking for the one responsible for killing their pet. Do you keep your actions a secret, or tell the truth?

Most importantly

6. No matter how many friends you have, no matter how much love you give and receive, no matter how much entertainment you partake in, no matter how much power you have do you’ve gained, do you still feel there is an empty part inside your heart that you just cannot fill no matter what?

1. Not cool man, it’s just rude.

2. H-how does that work? Well I guess I’d try to right the wrongs as best I could and help as many people as I could to make up for my mistake.

3. Give him support obviously, if he is doing something suicidal then it you do all you can for to save them.

4. Help them, friends don’t abandon friends.

5. Tell the truth, it’s just the right thing to do.

6. Id talk to someone about it. Maybe those friends can offer some sort of insight. No one should suffer in silence and bear that much pain.

*slightly growls* now I'm getting a little irritated. You are either naive, or more selfish than you think you are. You claim that no one will die once we dispose of whatever is powering my body, but you fail to mention that if I get back to normal from your plan, Essence will beat the living shit out of me to death, revive me, then beat the living piss out of me to death, and I won't be able to defend myself with that signed contract.

In that logic, you are no different than my old "friends", Demoria, and Essence who have used me for their personal gain and throwing me under the bus. It feels like you are just going to use me as well to save yourself and your friends while you all watch me suffer.

...

*slams table*...UGH! fine, I'll guide you through my body to get to the bottom of this mystery, only because at this point, I don't know which is worse: having every inch of myself broken and in pain while being used as Essence's tool, or being killed after being used as your tool instead. But I expect you to find a better solution on our way to whatever is growing my body that doesn't involve me being treated like garbage.

*stands up from table* I'm not sure what is powering my body, as normally living things and souls powers it. Maybe it is one of Essence's henchmen or something. Steroids? bleh. Lets look around.

Ok, Laura. Did you grabbed that drill that I told you to get before we left the meeting room?

Because you are a wussy pacifist who is most likely too scared to put the pain on this purple flaming invader, and probably can't attack without that gross eyeball anyway, what I want you to do instead is to use that drill to take that engine apart. Do things like unscrew its screws, puncture holes in it, and rip it apart to free your third eyeball. mr. big eye will have to help you keep steady with his words of encouragements, or help guide you if their are any traps.

while you are doing that, I am going to challenge that edgelord purple flame invader to a duel and attempt to kill it to keep it busy and distract it away from you while you take that engine apart. once you free that eyeball out of the engine, I expect you two to help me extinguish this flame if I still haven't killed it.

Wait until I get its attention before you start. Capiche?

??????????????????

*cough cough* Wuh? piece of paper? what freakin' piece of paper? the contract??? all it says is that I can't hurt you, and Demoria said nothing was written on the back. Unless she was lying to me.

And even if I got a paper of instructions, please excuuuuuuse me, but I was too busy writhing in pain over every bone in my body literally being cracked, shattered and dislocated by an Ash Tree wannabe to even concentrate on doing anything else, not to mention my body being hijacked is a very uncomfortable experience.

Either that, or some dickweed in my body must have stolen the paper before I even had a chance to read it in order to sabatoge me.

...

As for you Laura, you are naive. As far as I've been told, gods don't have different versions of themselves in this universe. There is only one Demoria, only one Dreamwalker, only one Essence. You must be thinking of his brother Absolution. He's an exception that gets to have different versions of himself

You know what that means, right Laura? Thats right. I believe that corpse is the one and only Dreamwalker, your Dreamwalker in there. Dreamwalker is dead.

Sorry Dervan, when Essence said she would be closer than we think before vanishing, I worried that what she might have done was hid in Null's arm, had Null attack you knowing you wouldn't take damage, and transfer herself into you with the intention of possessing you or something when the time was right. Using my mind to try to communicate was to see if you could hear my voice through the totem she stole from us. If that was the case, I would of had to perform an exorcism on you. It was simply a precaution. Essence is the type of person that we need to take precautions against.

Now then, Scarred, like Dervan said, I need you here. please corpreali-

wait, did Laura take 200 damage? How? she wasn't attacked!

...

Scarred, it is still my recommendation that you stick with us, but if you truly feel that something is going on in Null that is hurting Laura somehow, I won't stop you. Keep in mind that whatever you do, I will be staying out here with Dervan. But keep in mind that if you do this, you might not come back out. Follow your heart.

Dervan, I believe that after you shot Ember sapling, you most likely stopped her from making Null grow even more after we kill a spirit. She was messing with Nulls body when she entered him. Go ahead and shoot Null again to see if the hypothesis is true.

suggestor's note: I do not think you're able to give us items and then corprealize inside Null (assuming that works) in one turn. I remember it took me one turn to give Laura my items. Unless Devoid allow, you might want to consider just going in with your items unless you want to use one turn to give us items.

Shoot, I was so sure Ember was causing him to get stronger after every spirit we kill. I can only hope Scarred can figure out what is going on inside.

Null growing bigger most likely accelerated the speed of Laura getting eaten by this thing.

So we're back to square one. And I think we've exhausted all of our options. I really now have no idea what to do anymore.

This monster can pretty much kill me with one hit now. The most I can do is defend and heal myself...

...and pray for a miracle.

Dervan, when it is your turn again, I will not blame you if you contact someone you may have given your business card to in order to have them rip up your business card and have you escape like Lorence for example. This is feeling like a lost cause.

I don't care what kind of shit I end up in, as long as you are with me, I am absolutely happy.

*gives Mr. Crumpet a hug* At least I think you are my friend? Those pests are ruining my memories, the only part of me I have left after I lost control of my body.

By the way, the answer to your question on why it takes so long for you to die is quite obvious: I haven't consumed the grim reaper yet! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpaOy8b8X6A)... I think his name was... what was it? the Ambassador? I'm forgetting.

Now that I answered your question, answer a couple of mine... what was her name again? demario? De-maria? Diarrhea? Demoria? yeah Demoria sorry

1st question: did you happen to overhear Demoria ever mentioned a fail-safe protocol to a situation where I lose control of my body, and start losing memories?

2nd question: Has Demoria ever mentioned if that Dream god, and his slave, Laura can fix a person's mind up? I think my mind is broken, and forcing them to fix it might work if they can.

Really any advice is fine, friend. Thanks

Hmm, well, while we wait, there is one thing I've been wondering regarding Ember's actions: when I saw her with my moon card, Ember seemed to have been scratching Null, specifically the location where the muscular creepy soul is, (the Rage Within). some kind of pink liquid was coming out of the scratch mark of Null.

Now if I had to guess, because she was scratching Null, she was most likely infecting him with something, which is quite odd. If I had to guess, she is using this infection not to Null's advantage, but to her's. I do not know if that is what is causing the growth, or if it is allowing her to take total control of Null's body, but whatever the case, it does not seem to bode well for us.

when it is my turn again, I might have to consider using High Priestess' Exorcism card combination not on us, but on Null to get rid of whatever status effect she caused on Null. It might put a damper on whatever Ember is planning

Which is why I must ask to make sure, Dervan: in your career, do you know of any instances of an infection from a pink liquid substance and what effects it might have on someone or something?

inner thoughts: Speaking of the moon card, I'm gonna need this card repaired somehow. I feel I might need it more than just this battle. Using this card will be a last resort for this battle...

More than anything Essence I think this fight shows just what a power hungry coward you are. Every fight has been on your terms, and only when you had the distinct advantage and while I can’t fault you for that, you don’t take any risks what so ever. Hell you even ran from Scarred who wanted to give you a chance at happiness. But nope, evil take over of Ana it is! You’re just laughably predictable by this point, a joke, a one-trick pony. You’re boring.

So you're just a figment of my imagination... I guess you're right. Mr. Crumpet has been gone for a very long time... or at least I think he is gone, or maybe he never existed in the first place. Either way, that is pretty depressing. At least you took on a form that I feel most comfort in seeing

But wow, if you are really my imagination, then that must mean that even my subconscious can't stand being around me like everyone else. And when you asked why it is taking so long to die in here, that must mean I am wondering to myself when I can finally die. That is... pretty unhealthy for me to think about, jeez. I'm not depressed... am I? Um... lets push those bad thoughts back.

Let me just say to make this clear to you... er... myself rather: I know Demoria has been only using me this whole time, I am only sticking with her so that she may feed me and, if I play my cards right, I will slowly manipulate her to do what I want until I have total control over her...

but I guess that is just a pipe dream. I notice all she ever does is wait for the most comfortable moment to do any sort of action which is leading us to looooong periods of inactivity. She hasn't even been feeding me to make me stronger, like that mini absurdity guy. I believe she might actually be refusing to make the void stronger because maybe... she is afraid of me and what I will become? Who knows.

But I guess the reason I left and came here because I know if I help Essence, my memories will be wiped and she will just dispose of me when she is done with me, and if I help Laura, those voices are just going to finish me off once I show my weakness. So there was really no point, I wanted to at least save Mr. Crumpet out of this even though he doesn't exist.

So tell ya what, here is what I am going to do: I'll go sneak back in hiding in the shadows while those two are distracted and try to kill that purple flame myself. I will have to figure out a way to do this stealthily and find a way to keep that thing quiet when I attack it. I might have a weapon as well. I was a sword fighter in my first life after all.

Unless you can think of a better idea? maybe I should be a part of their little conversation instead?

But I'll only go back on this condition: even though you are imaginary, you have to follow me. I've grown to like your presence. It's hilarious.


(sneakingly heads back to where Essence and Laura is, checks his inventory to see if he has a weapon and what other items he may have)

...ugh. You know that is a difficult decision for me to make.

hmph, well helping Essence means I will have to stay here and do nothing like she suggested me to do, and as you have implied, leaving and doing nothing as Essence asked me to will only leave me in a state of confusion and unanswered questions as you put it.

I guess that leaves me with... helping Laura? jeez she is annoying. She is like, everything opposite of what I am! with her wishes to not harm anyone or get stronger through consuming while I do that stuff instead in order to survive this universe so nobody can hurt me anymore.

In a way, one of us is Yin, and one of us is Yang. It doesn't fit comfortably with me helping her, but it doesn't look like I have much of a choice now does it?

Now comes how I will get the job done. I can't harm Essence because of the contract, so directly attacking her is out of the question.

I'll have to cause trouble indirectly. So that leaves me with 3 options:

either I act as Laura's shield blocking all damages Essence and the purple flame will cause if Laura tampers with the machine, which will hurt and lead to death most likely as I am also getting hurt by the two voices

or I sit and talk as a third party in their little conversation

or I find Ember and challenge her to a duel.

...Now that I think about it... YEAH! I think I would like to fight Ember. Laura is dealing with Essence and the machine, the voices are fighting the spirits, and that leaves Ember not doing anything at the moment.

Besides, Ember looks like a fangirl of the ash tree using some of his powers, and even trying to look like him wearing his style. The ash tree's spirit is the one adversary I hate out of everyone, and it is an insult to me that someone part of the Ash Tree is controlling me. So it seems fitting I should be the one to face her in battle.

Now my plan: first, go to Ember, second, pretend to be her ally and ask her some questions and information and how she is working my body. Eventually when I gain more of her trust and lets her guard down is when I backstab her. I'll do all this while Essence is distracted. I'm excited just thinking about that.

It is time I take back my little realm from Ember. Wish me luck, imaginary Mr Crumpet!

Because while she may be too kind and innocent for her own good, she’s not like you. Someone who is so morally bankrupt they are fine with harming others but won’t acknowledge they’re the Harley Quinn in some Phantom of the Opera Douchebag’s plans. So mostly I just hate you because you’re a a terrible horrible no good very bad person.

On top of that you’re just lazy and a walking cliche of a Saturday morning cartoon villain and creepypasta. I mean gods of light and darkness you’ve actually stopped to using machines to do work for you. Even in this giant plane of void you’ve got machines to do your own dirty work. I get that we’ve got a kind of video game motif going here but suddenly you’re taking inspiration from Dr. Willy now? Is there anything original about you?

Uh-huh. Again with the waking cliches, just admit your a walking creepypasta once for me huh? How about that. And as for ME assigning you the role of villain, I never said that I did that. You were villain from day one, you pretty much just showed up and asserted yourself as “the bad guy.” Hell you didn’t even give so much as a hello just cut to black and suddenly EVIL! I much more preferred you without a tongue, at least then there was something original about you. Where did you get a tongue anyway? I recall you stealing one from Robbit Rabbot, is it his? Did Silly the wacky sad ghost or whoever not like the blow jobs you were giving? Couldn’t work the shaft?

Anyway, is that my knife I didn’t know you could summon it, I thought only Scarred could do that. I feel like she should get tested after sleeping with you, maybe wipe down the knife with some some disinfect wipes, makes me wonder who else can summon it.

hmmm... well Ember, that is a funny coincidence. It is so funny that I forgot to laugh, because I was going to say those exact same things to you, mainly what are you doing in here? And the fact that I do not want to deal with you right now either.

But because somebody has not been following Essence's orders like she was supposed to be doing, Essence was forced to come over to my location and take my place to "negotiate" with Laura instead, all just to direct me over here to make sure somebody is following directions correctly this time instead... I'm referring to you, Ember.

You know, Essence was pretty furious when you decided to hide in here when you were supposed to be doing your job outside of me.

And besides that, you even gained a really lucky break when you were given a second chance to redeem yourself in Essence's eyes when one of the voices absentmindedly decided to come in here for you to hold hostage, torture, and stall for time. Essence sent me here to make sure you punish that voice to the fullest.

But before I even had a minute to get in here, you've already failed and let her escape. Now they are most likely regrouping and started to figure out what is going on after so many turns of them experimenting.

So now we are back to square one with the higher possibility of the voices figuring out how to take us all down, and the higher possibility of Essence becoming twice as angry at you once she finds out about you failing her a second time after letting the voice escape.

But I'm not an unreasonable little void monster, I know just how you can save face and regain Essence's respect again and avoid her punishment. My recommendation right now is to get yourself back outside and continue what you were supposed to be doing as per Essence's previous orders.

Essence told you she does not care what state you are in right now, you need to get out there right now, or you will have to face Essence's wrath, and you can only hope that your punishment won't be a fate worse than death.

You can call Essence about this, but I should warn you she is concentrating on her negotiation with Laura, and distracting her again will most likely piss her off further.

Besides, we are ever so close to victory. We need you to be a team player and push on to get the job done.

Well I'm only following orders from Essence to make sure you get out there and get this thing working again. I don't make the orders, I just follow them. Don't shoot the messenger.
So, you saying "screw you" to me also means you are saying "screw you" to Essence... umm... you do have faith in Essence... and you aren't planning on betraying her... right?

...no, of course you trust her. Otherwise, you would of ran far away from the battlefield. Instead you chose to hide back in here praying for an opportunity to show up.
That shows you still have faith in Essence, but I can't help but feel that... maybe your faith in Essence is beginning to dwindle at least based off of your inaction.

And what if that opportunity you're waiting for never shows up? You kind of remind me of Demoria waiting for an opportunity that never arrives.

...let me tell you a secret... *shows note Essence wrote regarding his memory loss from destroyed spirit cores* not to bring me down to your level and patronize you, but I'd be lying if I told you I'm not worried too. I've already lost a lot of fond memories from forgetting names and important people to forgetting my own childhood. I worry that it will get to the point where I'll forget everything, equal to a form of death

And yet, the difference between you and I in our predicaments is that I choose not to cower and do nothing, or confront Essence. I am still following her orders despite knowing the possibility I'll soon lose more of who I was, and the fear I may fail in convincing you to not sit around, or even the fear you may even hurt me. I still have full trust in Essence that she will make everything better for us when we succeed.

And if you are worried about our enemies waiting for something, I can assure you that they are ten times more worried than you are. Despite failing to keep that voice in here, you did cause a lot of major damage to them, and are most likely far too scared to even think at the moment which is why they are at a standstill right now. As they say, you have to strike when the iron is hot. Otherwise they may come to their senses and figure things out

So I guess it comes to this: are you going to have complete faith in Essence and get out there to make this thing function again? or are you going to throw your faith in Essence out the window and rebel or confront against Essence? Whatever you choose, I won't stop you. It all comes down to how much you trust Essence and her orders for you to get back outside despite your fears.

But... staying here and doing nothing will most likely lead to a lot more unnecessary damages than intended to you and I if those voices start figuring things out soon and do something worse than you'd think if you continue to stay here, and a severe punishment for you and I by Essence's wrath. That said, I can't let you just sit here for much longer.

Okay, so here is my theory: I believe this thing is gaining power from either pain, or anger, or perhaps both. It seems like every time this thing is attacked, it only grows stronger which is why Ember was attacking it most likely whenever we avoid attacking it. I base this theory also to the fact that one of the spirits is "The Rage Within" which is some kind of god-like soul that is fueled by anger alone.

I'm thinking what we have to do is take a turn not attacking it so it may cool down from its anger, making the monster weaker and smaller before we can attack it again so we don't get hurt majorly ourselves.

So for this turn, we are going to test this theory to see if it will grow smaller, or perhaps not attack us by not attacking it ourselves for this turn, or not let anyone else damage it.

But to stay progressive in this battle, I suggest we use this turn to change our target, mainly the robot throne Essence was sitting in. If we can destroy that before Essence comes back, she will become vulnerable to our attacks again, a nasty surprise.

Which is why I must ask this, Dervan: you have most likely seen this throne before as you are an employee of the Dimensional Tribunal if I'm not wrong. It is the same robot that the Dimensional Tribunal's people use to defeat stronger targets like Spirit Parasites. I want to know if that robotic suit is safe to attack in its throne form when no one is sitting in it, and if it is not safe, if there are any ways to deactivate it.

based off of Dervan's answer, I think our plan will be that I will go first healing us with the Lovers kisses card combination, powered up using the fools card to turn as many cards as I can upsidedown, and one of our close to death tokens. Hopefully that will fully restore our hp.

After I heal us all up, depending on Dervan's answer if the throne is safe to attack or not with no one sitting in it, Scarred will attack the throne. I recommend using a long-ranged attack rather then a short-ranged attack. That way you will be at a safe distance if the throne counterattacks you.

as for Dervan's turn, I'll need you at standby to make sure no one tries to attack this creature.

Y...you want my... heart... why e...ember

... *blushes*

I didn't know you loved me. And here I thought you were a cruel person.
But sorry, falling in love in this universe is bound to lead to misery. This universe is known for giving people happiness only to crush it in the most cruel way possible so i can't accept your love.

All joking aside, Essence blocked communication with you most likely because she is furious with you to even talk to you and can not be distracted. It is best to follow orders before you upset her more

As for me giving my heart, it is not my heart being destroyed by those voices that I am worried about, as I trust Essence wouldn't put us in any harm. I'd gladly give you my heart to get you to finish the job as if Essence thinks it is safe for you to go out there, it is safe for my heart as well.

My only worry is that you have disobeyed Essence's orders not once, but twice after you kicked that voice out, and are still disobeying orders staying here, almost like you are working against Essence as a traitor.

So how can I trust you won't just destroy my heart once you have it?

But... I was told to get you outside any way I can by Essence, so if that is the only way, I'll just have to give you my heart.

But you have to be the one to dissect my chest and rip my heart out of my chest. I can't operate on myself, you know. Besides I'm sure you want to put the pain on me anyway.

Use your pink slimey claws to tear my chest open and take my heart.*keeps hands up in the air where ember can see them* I won't stop you.

Her name is Spirit contaminator. She has an ability to become intangible so that attacks won't hurt her, and she has the ability to take control of people and read there thoughts when the person is infected with some kind of blue substance. I had to get rid of that infection a couple times. Also she is weak against fire.

It is important to note that she see's Essence as her sister and Happy as her father. So even if she is not enthusiastic to fight, she would do so anyway as she would do anything for Essence, even jump off a cliff.

So this is what makes negotiation with her difficult, we cannot threaten her as she can become intangible and that throne may hurt us, and convincing Essence is bad news is especially tough because she see's her as her sister. Maybe perhaps if we offer her something

Whatever the case allow me to help you with negotiations

As for me... I need to go lie down and sleep through the pain.

*staggers away from Ember's location and is heading back towards Laura and Essence's location*

Inner thoughts: ugh... that hurt so bad. I did not want my heart taken, but at least now she will get out there.

Inner thoughts: In hind sight, I could have left Ember after I learned that my heart is keeping this thing going and I could of acted as a shield for Laura that Essence wasn't allowed to hurt or this thing would be destroyed, but it would have looked suspicious to Ember, and Ember would not of been dealt with properly and could have been a big problem if kept unchecked.

Inner thoughts: But silver lining, I can still make this plan work. All I have to do is show Essence my wound that Ember inflicted on me, and frame Ember for treachery with Ember's intention to steal my heart and give the voices my heart. It should totally put Essence in a panic if she finds out the one piece keeping this thing going is about to be destroyed. Plus it would be believable because why would I want to get killed with my heart destroyed? Especially with this fatal wound that only Ember could have caused

because after I was giving my thoughts about this thing being powered by the rage within when attacked through
pain or anger... you've mentioned that this monster has been fused with a strange engine (>>910879)

*notices his chest injury is gone*

Inner thoughts:what...the...fuck. I'm healed? ALREADY??? how am I supposed to frame Ember if I don't have the chest wound and Ember's scratch marks to trick Essence of Ember's betrayal as fake proof?

inner thoughts: wait... I can be healed instantly? If I can be healed quickly, and Ember has my heart which is the only thing keeping me alive, does that mean... no one in this room can kill me right now? granted, I can still feel pain which is bad, but if I can heal pretty quick, I guess that means I can't die as long as my heart is not here. which means I guess I am the perfect shield for Laura. I just have to hope those voices don't attack Ember and I have to be quick about this. For now, I just have to play the role of the foolish dumb minion to keep Essence fooled and not let anyone know where my heart is. Laura might have a plan of some sort with this scarf healing shtick

inner thoughts: ...crap, can Laura hear my thoughts right now? I really hope she cannot hear my thoughts, but if she can, that is rude Laura, very rude. Learn some manners. If you can hear my thoughts, and value your life, you will keep your mouth shut and keep a cowardly poker face. Or I will have no choice but to get you killed for my safety

*forcefully yanks scarf away from Laura* hee hee, you are a fool, Laura. what kind of insane person would want to heal the person trying to murder them? Well whatever, you are making our job easier. Thanks for the free victory.

Yeah so anyway Marty, you never answered me, and yeah that crumpet guy is right. Not a good idea to talk to yourself, that way lies madness. If you’re wondering how I’m seeing him, I’m a god of dreams and imagination.

Uh-huh. Yeah my brother *munch munch* was more into mixed nuts, I was always a sweet and salty kind of guy with pretzels and chocolate.

Sorry I can’t help when I get hungry, by the way I have another poem!

Everything seems to stay in place.
Always going in circles.
Together forever.

Not that it will matter
Until it’s to late.
Love and hate are one
Like a forced marriage.

Essence, you keep on talking to "Dreamwalker" like he is having a conversation with you, or you keep complaining about his eating. But... I didn't hear him say anything nor do I hear him chewing on anything like you are saying, nor do I think he would be eating at all if he was here... are you talking to yourself Essence? you should probably stop talking to yourself Essence. Only insane people do that, Essence.

Actually, that insanity is most likely why you've become a cyclops, and spitting out blood, and have that chest wound and many injured teammates while in comparison Laura looks clean and healed like the day she was born. You are always so distracted by your insanity and hearing voices that aren't there that you are putting yourself and your teammates in danger.

You even tried to get Ember to go outside even though she was shot and marked by the moon card. You really don't have our best intentions in mind.

And to top it off, your insanity is even driving you to self destruction, begging Laura to kill you as I arrived. What the fuck are you even doing with that strategy? are you trying to lose on purpose and get all of us and more importantly, myself killed?

I'm sorry Essence, but your distractions from your insanity are a hazard to my health. I came to help so I can feel more complete by absorbing Felafaf and Tv Head, but *shows letter detailing the memory loss* I am losing a lot more to make the win not worth it and perhaps losing more than I will gain, making me feel even more empty with myself than when I arrived.

*is standing between Essence and Laura*

inner thoughts: ... *groan* as for you, you're not Mr. Crumpet or a figment of my subconscious, are you? No, you are just Dreamwalker's flaming headed neglectful babysitter trying to manipulate me into doing something. I can tell it's you because you hold great disgust towards Dreamwalker, and I just saw a bit of you as you are trying to project an image of Mr. Crumpet. Good job watching over Dreamwalker and keeping him out of trouble by the way. The Great Constructor must be sooooo proud of you and your efforts.

inner thoughts: You are just like Tom, Nadly, Betty, Jerry, Mike, the Ash Tree spirit, Demoria and Essence. Only pretending to be my friend looking out for my best interest when in reality you're just using me and will toss me under the bus when I've worn out my usefulness. The fact that you also pretended to be a part of me making me not even trust myself is especially cruel.

inner thoughts: But I can forgive that because at least you now finally get it. You see how terrible the multiverse truly is as I do now. You finally understand why I want to destroy all of it, or why I gave my heart to Ember so easily even though I know it will kill me. It is to finally be safe from everyone. To finally be isolated and at peace either with myself dead, or with everyone else dead in an empty multiverse with only I left standing.

inner thoughts: I can almost see the final destination of my life in my head. If I am most likely going to die here after those horrific voices destroy my heart, I'm going to at least have some fun annoying certain people as I protect Laura before I go out with a bang. Besides, helping the person you despise, Dreamwalker, would be a good way to get revenge at you for manipulating me.

inner thoughts: But I'll admit, after you've finally seen this multiverse the way I do, perhaps in another life, maybe you could have been my best friend, or my only true friend. Actually, since you've given up all hope, would you like to be my friend right now and enjoy ourselves as I celebrate my death day while I struggle to protect Laura?

Scarred, I really can't think of anything else no matter how hard I try. Sorry.

Use your Valkyries Doom on Ember. It should be able to finish her off especially after that gunshot wound. and even if it doesn't, it has a chance to paralyze her so hopefully it will paralyze her so she won't be able to attack the spirit, and she will not be able to move and hide again.
It should also mark her for death and weaken her attacks and defenses dramatically to finish her off on the next turn.

ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH!
ALL OF YOU!
Stop. Telling. Me. What. To. DO!

jeez, you guys are gonna give me a stroke. Fuck. *takes deep breaths to calm self*

First of of, Essence. No. Just, no. Stop it Essence. I'm done. I'm not pinning Laura to the ground. After hearing that Ember has quite possibly faced her demise after putting her full trust in you, that was the final straw. You are far too distracted, and not in a good mindset to make reasonable effective strategies due to those emotions you cannot control,
Not to mention, after I've seen Felafaf and TV head injured badly quite possibly by your leadership, and after seeing you in a bloody mess WHILE I REMIND YOU THAT YOU WERE BEGGING LAURA TO KILL YOU AS WELL WHICH WOULD LEAD ME TO LOSE while meanwhile our enemies are in perfect shape without losing members in their team, I can see that my safety with you is at far too much of a risk at this point. I'm done listening to you.
In fact, if you are losing control of this monster as you said, I at this point want to see just how chaotic this can get. Hee hee hee hee...

inner thoughts: As for you, Batman with the flaming hair, fuck you too for messing with my mind like that. You made me believe I have finally had someone to befriend, even if only imaginary, all just so you could manipulate and lie to me like everyone else has to fulfill your selfish wishes to kill Dreamwalker and yourself. That is truly a dick move. I can see you don't have my best intentions in mind or want to even see me succeed in any kind of goals in surpassing Absolution Prime.
Think about this, Adam West: What do you suppose would of happened if I did kill Dreamwalker? I would be left under the suffering of Essence instead, only forced to fulfill her goals, not mine. You don't care about my well-being, or my goals, you are only telling me what I want to hear so I can do your dirty work and take the fall for it.
Besides if you see yourself as a failure in giving advice, than how can I expect to take your advice seriously as well. Really, I could of probably helped you if you didn't mess with my mind and pretend to be Mr. Crumpet, but you blew it by being unfaithful to me.
Just for that, you said earlier that "we all will die by trying to accomplish some unattainable goals that we set up for ourselves" well guess what: your punishment is an oxymoron. Since your goal is that you want to die with Dreamwalker, I'm going to make your goal for death an unattainable goal for you to have as you suffer in Dreamwalker's and your humiliation and failure without hope for death in this living nightmare. hows that for vengeful actions, batman? At least maybe you will spend this time to try harder with Dreamwalker this time instead of giving up, you quitter.


inner thoughts: And Dreamwalker, do not think you are off the hook just because I am ranting about the two people you aren't too fond of. You are no better than they are. Even though I didn't respond to you, I have heard everything you have been saying and doing when I got here, and unlike Laura, and that idiot Batman wannabe, I knew exactly what you were trying to do through Essence... you were fucking trying to give Laura a hint to consume the rest of my memories against my wishes with your poetry and pretzel eating, leaving me with nothing left after I have lost control of my body, my appearance, parts of my mind, and my heart. You are just another shining example of someone trying to use me and throw me under the bus.
What is worse is that you have chosen to be an extremely picky eater never consuming ANYONE'S MEMORIES your whole entire life in godhood, and yet you choose me, the one person in your life you try to order Laura to take memories from AGAINST MY WILL, and WITHOUT a second thought, and just about immediately as soon as I show up.
It is pretty telling that if even a goodie pacifist like you Dreamwalker wants me to suffer, then that proves I officially am alone against the entire multiverse.
so while I am choosing not to kill you Dreamwalker, as I think it will be a fitting punishment for what Batman did to me, I'm going to give Laura an offer which you probably won't like. I hope you get pink eye after the weird stuff you've been putting in your eye. But I bet you are going to take all of what I said in stride like the unfeeling god you are. Sicko.

*activates void speak with Laura so Essence, Dreamwalker and Dreamwalker's aid won't hear.*

Laura. You and I are in the exact same circumstances, with both sides demanding us to do things, both sides manipulating us when we don't do things they want, and even everyone here is abusing or killing us in different ways whether it be intentional like those voices against me, or Essence against you, or unintentional through poorly uncoordinated plans with disregard for our safety from the people we are following. And I don't know about you, but I'm sick of following orders from people who only wants to use us, and tired of people trying to hurt us.

Don't get me wrong, I hate you. But know that it is a different kind of hate than what I have against all the others. I'm sure you've noticed that even though our circumstances of gaining these weird abilities from gods or demigods are similar, everything you are, and everything I am are complete opposites, like Yin and Yang. Such as your pacifism attitude and fear to hurt others even though they are harming you, to my want in absorbing others to get stronger so nobody can harm me ever again.

And really, I hated how everything you are is everything I am not. I wanted to be your rival because of that and be rid of you.

but after thinking through it, I come to see why exactly I hated being your opposite, it was because I see you as a personification of everything that I am missing to feel whole. I wanted to get rid of you, but in reality, it was jealousy of wanting the pieces of you that I am missing.

And I have this feeling you see me as someone who has all the missing pieces you don't have as well that you want.

So let me ask you again the 6th question I tried to ask you when you first entered here which you refused to answer:
No matter how many friends you have, no matter how much love you give and receive, no matter how much entertainment you partake in, no matter how much power you have do you’ve gained, do you still feel there is an empty part inside your heart that you just cannot fill no matter what?
...Because I do. And I'm trying everything I can to fill it, and I don't think any amount of people or souls I absorb in the void will fill that emptiness.

and I know that you feel that emptiness too. Even though you've gained Dreamwalker's ability to see, you still feel empty, so you do weird dream magic in others' dreams, protect Ana's mind, and even enter Essence's dream to fill the emptiness when really you could have just enjoyed life with you new eyesight not bothering anyone.
You are lying to yourself when you say you only wanted the ability to see again. You are really just looking to feel whole again... like I am.

and if you feel empty like I do, and if you feel I am the missing pieces of you need like I feel you are the missing pieces I need, then how about it? why don't we disband from our respective teams and form a pact of our own right here, right now, and become whole at last as equals and finish this battle?

I assure you that I will not kill you. I'll make sure you are kept alive. Besides, after my heart exploded, you are the only person here with a heart to share. There is no point in killing you, Laura.

Want to be teammates *holds hand up to Laura waiting for her answer*

No. 911717 ID: ae9b99

Well, I guess we wait until it is our turn again... unless this monster does nothing after not getting attacked. In which case, I have an idea. Since Ember is laying there unconscious, maybe one of us should quickly grab Ember, put a weapon against her, and tell Spirit contaminator that she must leave the battlefield, or have her ally killed.

If Spirit Contaminator see's her allies as family, then she should have no choice but to comply and leave. Afterwards, we will move Ember out of the battlefield, destroy the throne, and finish off this monster...

Not to mention right now we are burning because of that status effect we got hit with. I can only hope I can get rid of it in the next turn. No promises, I've used up my Temperance card after all and it is at cooldown.

You're right, Marty. I'm not gonna stand here and act defensive and say that I'm not picky with who I choose to consume. You're right. So yeah I will take it in stride, but I accept your words as truth. I don't have a reason to want to eat you, in fact, I don't want to. I'm glad I don't have to make that choice anymore, Marty. I'm glad you found your voice, just like that little boy who was always off playing ghost busters and trying to find paranormal lore. Just makes me sad to see you now. If there was anything that could be done, I'd be willing to listen and help. I'm sure Laura would too, bless her heart. Just, know that I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to do.

*Suddenly turns to "batman"*
Caio, that's enough. More than any one here, you are what I regret most. You didn't fail at all my boy, I failed you. More than anything else I know that I failed you worst of all.

I still remember when mankind was young I gave them the power to dream of something greater, cities and civilizations. What I didn't see happening was the great conflicts that would arise because of it. There are so many wars ideas that could have been prevented, I loved humanity too much to stop them. And in the great city of Mycenae, I found you Caio. A cold hungry boy, alone, and scared on the docks. An orphan. And I thought if I could just help one person, then maybe I'm not a failure. So I talked to you, got to know you, was bound to you. You were my first Seer. Together we were a team, I thought we could change the world, I've never stopped trying. But maybe you're right, maybe I'm not good enough no matter how hard I try, I can't fix everything. I loved Humanity too much. And I loved you, Caio. You were, and are a son to me. I failed to see how my father was remaking you, was telling you things about myself that I didn't tell you. You're not a failure, Caio, I failed you.

Can you forgive me, Caio. My son?

You know, I remember something Scarred. That one ghost with the question mark who asks for riddles in exchange for answering questions for people told us this: Never leave anything to chance, if you are going to make a decision stay behind it. relying on luck won't accomplish anything.

having my card burned might actually be a blessing in disguise. I've been using luck to try to get us healed and powered up. But it is not a reliable way to go through this battle. If I am going to help at all, I'm going to have to rely on my wits and strength, not on my luck.

That said, here is what I am thinking. Laura is top priority to keep alive. If she dies, it is game over. So I am going to use my Tarot Pentacle move to form a barrier around Laura so that nothing hurts her from this Null abomination. Meanwhile, Scarred. I want you to use your Shake it off move to get rid of Laura's burning status ailment. Got it?

Null #5 (the one blocking Essence's way): Happy? did you say Happy? *gasps* OH GOSH! OH CRAP! ... who the hell is happy? Demoria never mentioned anyone named Happy to me before. And even if she did, ummm, I'm losing my fucking memories from this battle so... it is hard to take your spooky threats seriously if I don't know who Happy is and why I should fear him, especially with a name like that.

Null #2: (one of the Nulls trying to pull a spirit's hands away from Laura): *whispering to Laura* Laura, are you seriously giving up in trying to escape these spirits? Already??? Look, your enthusiasm to join me and make us feel whole again makes me delighted, but your wish to give up trying to free yourself already and form a pact with me right away with the blind hope that it will help save you is... pissing me off. Before I can have you join me, I need to be sure you are worthy and ready for it. You and I have to EARN that privilege in forming this pact. I cannot accept cowardly quitters to be a part of me, otherwise you'd be putting me... or rather us in too much danger. I'll only form a pact with you sometime AFTER you get freed from these spirits.
Hell, I bet you didn't even TRY to help at all in pulling yourself free from these spirits when I am trying to pull them away from you. You just stayed down hoping you'd be rescued or keep hoping for some kind of miracle. Your problem is that you keep relying on a gamble as you rush into things or blindly follow people's orders without regards to your safety. You keep trying to take the easy way out of danger when it arrives, but you never see the possible consequences. Stop rushing into things, and stop taking the easy way out Laura. That is how you got stuck in here in the first place after you tried using your mind powers to negotiate with me. That is how you got your friends in danger when you desperately called them for help summoning them. That is how you got in this battle in the first place.
Life doesn't throw you bones. You've got to work your hardest to earn those bones yourself.
Also use your brain, what do you think would happen if we formed a pact right here and right now? all that would happen is that you will still be pinned down, but this time with me being pinned down with you.
Has anyone ever read you the story of the little engine that could? use that for inspiration. Just keep thinking in your mind over and over again "I think I can"
Now lets try again. I'll try pull the Spirits' arms away from you, and you pull yourself away from the arms. Try with all your might this time and don't give up for fuck's sake.
And don't you dare use your frustrations to fucking cry about your misfortune and give up again. Only babies do that. Take those frustrations to fuel your determination to free yourself from these gross hands instead.
oh, and once you free yourself, I want you to immediately stand on the table. these spirits are coming from the floors, and walls. So it is best for you to stay away from those by standing on the table.
*continues trying to pull the arms away from Laura*

Null #4 (the one who is also pulling the spirits' arms away from Laura): inner thoughts: listen Dreamwalker. I'm still very pissed off at you for trying to kill me, and for neglecting Laura. I don't think I can ever forgive you for that especially since you are taking my insults in stride right now, feeling sorry for yourself, and asking for forgiveness. You have to work to earn your forgiveness, not just with your words.
But just this once I will relay any messages you might want to say to Laura to motivate her. Oh, and be fucking careful of what you say. Essence can hear you in case you forgot. try to make it so that Essence still thinks I am going to form a pact with Laura as soon as I can. Make it quick.


The real Null: *is keeping an eye on the corpse engine and the boiling hate*
inner thoughts: excellent. the flames seem to be dying down, but I do not think it is small and weak enough to attack it just yet. I'll wait a little longer and see if it gets smaller until I feel it is small and weak enough to attack. Those idiot voices just have to not attack my body to make it grow again, and I have to make sure my clones keep Essence distracted as they try to free and protect Laura. I'll also need to balance the time between the flame getting smaller, and Laura outside sinking before I decide when I'm ready to attack the engine.
Also can't forget Essence might find me out if I attack the engine. I'll have to be careful and decide whether I want to go through with this or not.

heh heh heh... Really? do you truly mean what you say with your arms stretched out like some sort of holier than thou messiah giving a lecture to the masses?
then let me get this straight: living a lifestyle of ignoring the world's rules and ignoring decency for freedom makes one a mutilated bloodied cyclopes as they lie to themself trying to smile away the physical and mental pain to desperately convince they're living the good life. Yeah, sure. that sounds about right. do you not see the irony of what you are saying here?

You have a terrible unskilled poker face. no one is genuine with what they say with a forced smile like you were pulling as you say those words. It makes it so very obvious that you are lying to us... and especially lying to yourself when you say you are a testament of what true freedom is. Let me lay down the truth that you are too terrified to admit: you are not free. At all.

In fact, your mutilated body looks more like one of a trapped tortured woman with some sort of Stockholm syndrome with her kidnapper(s) and has given up on escaping it. Your obsession with Happy seems more like the symptoms of someone who has been easily manipulated. He may see you as his favorite giving you free reign to do whatever you want, but it is a classic manipulation tactic to give the person they are controlling false sense of freedom, happiness, and rewards so that when the manipulator (Happy) asks the person they're manipulating (you) to do something unreasonable, like say... jump into a volcano, they'd do it without any question.

Happy's favoritism towards you is not genuine. his favoritism of you is more akin to enjoying their favorite character in a video game to control. Sure he'll get upset if you perish, but it is not genuine sadness. It is more of an annoyance sadness of having a favorite character get a game over or killed off in a story.

And even if you weren't manipulated by Happy, you are still trapped by that asshole, the Ash Tree. sure you've gained unlimited powers from that tree, but you are cursed to be tethered to that tree like an abandoned dog leashed up to a tree, forced to relive the nightmares of this reality over and over again. If I die, I'll die laughing knowing that fact

My advice to you Essence: if you win this battle, and you truly want to be free, find a way to ditch Happy, and only trust yourself and no one else. You don't need him. You don't need anyone, Essence.

...

Boiling Hate, you've been eavesdropping and listening silently on our conversation. I do not know if you are sentient with mentality or not, but I'll leave you with this thought: After you've heard that Ember put all her faith in Essence and went outside as per her orders along with taking my heart as I had absolute faith in Essence to allow Ember to take it, only for her to meet with an unfortunate end including getting my heart destroyed, And after you've witnessed me losing more of my memories and lose control of my body, lose my heart, and lose my form due to following Essence's orders, do you think it is wise for you to continue following her knowing those facts? Looking closely at you now, Boiling Hate, you do seem to be losing more and more of yourself, getting smaller as well as you continue to stay and follow Essence just like Ember and I was when we were following Essence, so you must have some sort of opinion as well, Boiling Hate... I'll leave you with that thought.

in any case, I'm done talking. My decision is final: I choose Laura to be in my team.

Hmm...

Alright, that explains quite a bit actually. You know Essence you remind me of the joker in more ways that one now. You read comics at all? Alright so here’s the thing, in an issue of the justice league batman sits down in this all knowing seat called the “The mobius char.” This chair can answer any question that it’s posed.

Well, if I am forced to die here by the hands of both Dreamwalker and the voices and/or Essence, then I'm gonna take both sides down with me one way or another by screwing them over as they are trying to do with me.

inner thoughts: Dreamwalker it is time for your punishment for trying to get Laura to consume my mind and for those voices trying to kill me. I won't kill you or Laura as that will piss the fuck out of Essence and your Batman fellow and I want to screw them over for trying to fuck with me, but I'm going to do something just as bad to you.

inner thoughts: I'm going to corrupt Laura's mind by awakening the more darker side of her her that you have so hard tried to keep her from trailing into. I will make her lose the innocence and purity you've desperately have been trying to keep intact within Laura that had made her so unnatural. It'll probably screw me even worse, but at least if I am going down, I am taking every single one of you with me.

*grabs Laura's hand* In closing... fuck every single one of you.

When did I ever say I was a pacifist? Sometimes the only lesson is ones that’s taught with a belt. To be honest Essence it’s getting harder and harder to keep track of it all, there’s interesting stuff happening outside.

See, it’s not hard to mentally torture someone when you know more than they do. For example here’s my final ultimatum, you can try to kill Laura and that will be be the end of you and your little sister outside, because it looks as though something big is about to happen, or you can stop this dumb cheating charade and go help the ones you care about.

I imagine that’s fractured mind of yours feels like it’s about to split down the middle with this. Just my opinion though.

suggestor's note: since card 2 is burnt, here is how the cards will be:
1=1, 2=3, 3=4, 4=5, 5=6


Alright, I'll tell you Spirit Contaminator.
Of course Scarred and I are still here to save Laura, It was our only goal at the start and that hasn't changed.
But sadly... being the only reason why we are here is a lie that I desperately want to believe. I know that protecting Laura will mean that if victory is ours, Essence and/or some of your family will just keep confronting us for revenge. That said, If self defense means having to take Essence and her army down so they can finally leave us alone so we can actually make some progress in our adventure without Essence's interrupting us to hurt or even kill us or our friends, then that would make what Dervan said correct about getting rid of our opposition now.
I wish it was true that it is only for Laura, but to prevent the inevitable of you guys seeking revenge against us just for defending our friend Laura, then we will have to eliminate Essence and your family now to prevent that outcome.

Which brings me to you, Spirit Contaminator. Essence made me go through a very traumatic experience forcing us to go up against a spirit parasite queen. And even after I tried to reason with that queen to settle things nonviolently, and even let her escape when she gotten too weak from our attacks and ran away from us, that Queen would stop at nothing to hurt us in the most cruel ways possible from taking control of our friends in a most painful manner to her hosts with her children to even killing every single one of our friends at that time.
I even saw an instance of how cruel she was, eating sacrifices of humans that were given to her... which were STILL ALIVE.

*heals party*

It was then I've learned about your species and how you are one of the most dangerous species in the multiverse. Did you know you all made an entire universe go close to extinction because of your species' parasitic nature and desire to overpopulate and make other species suffer? Yeah... after seeing how cruel your species can be through the spirit parasite queen, I actually made a promise that I will eliminate any Spirit parasites I come across.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are friendly good Spirit Parasites out there. Maybe you aren't such a cruel monster like that queen was. But the fact is, if you, a (maybe) nice spirit parasite were to give birth to newer spirit parasites, whose to say that one, two, maybe even all of your children might be cruel, if not, even more cruel than the spirit parasite queen we fought against? And what if they initiate a scenario of another overpopulation and extinction of another universe? that is something I do not want to see again.

That said, Dervan wants to keep you alive, capture you, and have his crew research you. I on the other hand see that as a very dangerous idea and feel it is better off to eliminate your species. Far more dangerous than letting any other spirit parasites simply escape purposely.
It could get to a scenario where scientists using their experiments on spirit parasites could potentially create universal destroying weapons, or even mind control weapons eliminating free will of others. That, or if a spirit parasite were to escape the experiments, they could cause major harm to everyone in that universe.
Case and point, take whatever Essence did to make you part cyborg for instance. you have the power to control people through that weird blue liquid. Imagine the consequences if scientists were to create something even worse experimenting on your species. It'll be the nuclear bomb all over again, but 10x worst.

That said, it is Dervan's wish to research you. But it is my duty to destroy you instead. Otherwise, not eliminating you all and simply letting you go could cause betrayal to the people I promised to eliminate spirit parasites.
I'm sure what I said was unforgivable in your eyes, but at least now you know where I am coming from.

And I would rather much try getting them as our allies over having them as our adversaries... Especially after I made a promise to the incubus Melkior's bearded friend to eliminate all spirit parasites no matter their personality...

Inner thoughts: Excellent. half of me was kinda hoping Essence would say that... because... I hate party poopers, and I don't want to hold back anything. Now the party can truly begin...

inner thoughts: Hey that nice gift, the drill, should still be in our inventory, correct?

inner thoughts: I remember a fine ol' game I used to play: The floor is lava. We're going to have to play that game for a little bit since those skeletal asshole spirits are just going to grab and pin us down again.

inner thoughts: So the plan is:

inner thoughts: 1: Jump right on top of the table and take a quick second to assess the situation, mainly how far away Essence is from the table if we can reach her with a jump attack, and also check and see the status of the boiling hate. I want to see how weak it is getting for us to potentially attack it at some point. Also, If we are on the table, those skullys will not be able to grab us from the ground so easily as they seem to be climbing out of the ground

inner thoughts: 2nd: after we stand on the table, we will pick up that plate, the one that the gift (the drill) was on top of during the interview. That plate should still be on the table covered a little bit in blood.

inner thoughts: 3rd: throw the plate at Essence like a Frisbee. Aim it right at her smug face. It shouldn't matter if it hits her or not though, as the plate is only a distraction for our real attack. (Though I will prefer it is hit in her face. I want to see if she can get injured)

inner thoughts: 4th: After the plate is thrown at Essence, and before Essence has a chance to process what happened after our plate attack, depending on how far away she is, immediately equip the drill, jump right on top of her, pin her down, and drill her good eye (her right eye) right out of her socket!! Have her blind to the world as we once were.

rolled 2 = 2

So you see us as emotionless then, Spirit Contaminator. Maybe that is true... But I see myself more in a state of being... comfortably numb, a feeling that was caused from a traumatizing experience of losing everything at the fault of your Spirit Parasite Queen.

But if you see us as Psychopaths, then you have no idea of what the people in my world is like.

Keep in mind, I at least TRIED to negotiate with the Spirit Parasite Queen when I first met her after Essence summoned her. I tried to come up with a solution that would make all of us happy. But she would not listen and would just attack which forced me to retaliate in self defense.

Now Lorence on the other hand, as soon as he saw the Spirit Parasite Queen after she somehow escape our attack, he never asked who or what she was, all he did was immediately had his men unload all their bullets right at her, and then burned her with a flamethrower. And after she somehow survived that attack, and the last bits of her crawled towards Lorence desperately pleading with him to help her, all he did was stomp her dead.

And if you think that is bad, what Essence, your sister did, was far worse.

She actually was there hidden, watching the whole spectacle of your queen getting shot down and burned. She did nothing to help her after the queen begged her for her help. In fact, Essence even encouraged the Spirit Parasite's death saying that she envies her being able to die, and see what it is like on the other side..

And as the Spirit Parasite Queen was reaching her demise, Essence told her that the moments of her death was simply a ritual for her. She in every dimensional cycles would put the Spirit Parasite down herself before she became a major problem.

And then Essence said because the spirit parasite queen was never a real danger, she experimented with her, pretending to be on her side only for her to hurt people that she wanted to get hurt.

Why am I saying this? I don't know. Maybe it is to convince you to leave Essence, or maybe it is to convince myself that I still have good morals within me.

Whatever the case, I am sticking to the path I've chosen. Nothing has changed.

Lovers' kisses activated

inner thoughts: hmm, if that thing can cause 1000 damage, and I am at exactly 1000 from
getting 400 hp, it might be best if I use a close to death token just in case. But after that, we will have only one more of those tokens left. We should save that.

(uses close to death token with lovers' kisses.)

You say Essence kills the Spirit Parasite Queen in order for this world to stay alive. odd. that contradicts what she wrote in her diary saying that she wants to kill the world... and maybe the multiverse while shes at it >>848291. But whatever helps you sleep at night, SC.

*whispers* Scarred, Laura really doesn't have much time left, hanging on a thread there. and I honestly can not figure out any way to save her with the rate this is going. I honestly thought this null monster would go down after taking out Ember and that heart she had, but it is not going down fast enough, nor is that blob Laura sinking into getting any slower

*whispers* that said, I am highly considering using that Tarot sword card that I have been leveling up every time I got a card combination to kill that null monster. It is at max level, and might be able to kill this Null monster especially if I combine it with a close to death token... but I really wanted to use it to attack Essence as soon as I could. I really don't want to go into another phase in this battle. It is taking forever.

thoughts: Excellent work! That plate was kind of a test. it manage to put Essence in pain. Which means the contract has no effect on me now that we are a totally different person.

thoughts: Now on to serious business. I'll admit I went overboard asking you to blind Essence. But if you are considering negotiations, then let me warn you this at least...

thoughts: I might not know the full details as the death of those spirits erased my memories, but I was actually in a similar situation during the last moments of my life when I was Marty.

thoughts: basically, my friends and I were haunted by a ghost. Rather, haunted by the very same spirit that you guys worship as the "Ash Tree". I, being as naive as you were at the time, wanted to become friends with this spirit, trying to research any way we can make contact. and I believe when I finally did, all the ghost wanted to do was kill me.

thoughts: And judging by where I was when I died, sitting on my couch defenseless with ash all over me, and a knife covered with my blood, it is reasonable to deduce that I did absolutely nothing to defend myself, but instead tried to have a lovely chat, or "negotiations" with that spirit. Needless to say, my pacifist talk things out attitude cost me my life, stabbed to death.

thoughts: I'm warning you this because I now have a responsibility to protect your fragile soul, just as it is supposed to be your responsibility to protect me now.

thoughts: That said, whatever you are planning with Essence, just keep my warning in mind. Okay? I really don't want you making the same mistake I did

thoughts: Oh, and best get it done quick. I have a feeling your body outside does not have much time left, and I don't know how to stop that, other than somehow getting rid of the corpse engine and boiling hate (which is difficult because Essence is here, and I don't know if it will get stronger if we attack it) or getting rid of Essence.

Dervan is probably laughing at you because he finds it ironic that you are a species that hijacks people's mind gruesomely, and yet you are following Essence orders.

speaking of which, Dervan, it is your turn to make a move please.

You say you are supportive, SC, but I should say being supportive when Essence was going through her troubling time does not mean having Essence do whatever she wants without question even if you feel deeply wrong about it. You should be supportive by maybe trying to convince her that some of the things she does is morally wrong. maybe if you'd of helped her become a better moral person, she wouldn't have done all that terrible stuff to us, and maybe we would have been allies and I wouldn't hold such a deep hatred towards you spirit parasites. It actually feels more like you are a little scared of her maybe. I know you have the courage to set Essence straight.

for context, we see her as a psychopath because she tricked a couple of idiots into destroying a timeline without telling them the consequences, takes things we say and do out of context to make us look like enemies to others, kidnaps our friends, kills and hurts our friends, tricks us into hurting our friends, literally said she wants to make Ana become worse than Hitler, and sent the spirit parasite queen to hurt us and kill our friends just for the sake of having fun. Thats just to name a few. Heck, she even pulled a person during this battle through a portal who wasn't immortal, and beheaded him all for the sake of proving a point. his head might still be on the battlefield, or near it. Sure she said she wasn't supposed to do that, but she brushed off her mistake like it was nothing.

So really, I don't see how you can be supportive of her doing all that, because a supportive person would have been there to set her morals straight, not allow these bad things to happen.

Well, that does make sense. Essence does tend to pair Spirit Parasites with dogs. perhaps Essence just like Dervan's statement only see's you as a cute little puppy.

Well then, if you truly have any sort of real emotions, SC, then how come you do not seem to have any sort of feelings about Ember living up to her name as she burns to death as you sit there trying to prove you have emotions? Besides, I thought you saw your allies as your family, and that you were a supportive family member. a person with any emotion would at least do something like try to extinguish the flames, or call for help to save a friend or family member. But no, you choose to sit and watch and try to convince us you have emotions with your words instead of proving it to us with your actions.

And even if you do not see Ember as a family member, then shouldn't you at least do something, anything to save Ember for Essence's sake? if Ember somehow survives this, then she will most likely seek revenge on Essence for the dumb decision of carelessly forcing her to come out here and take a devastating blow, or even seek revenge on you for doing nothing to save her. If you are supportive of Essence, you would save Ember to prevent such hostilities from her, right? But no, you really are just a spirit parasite.

Well then, seeing as this abomination isn't doing anything, and you are just going to continue sitting there, SC, I guess that means your team wasted your turn and it is our turn again.

*whispers* Here is my plan, Scarred, I need you to use shake it off one last time on dervan before you become incorporeal again as this is your last turn before you become a ghost. Once you are a ghost, we can consider whether or not you should try going back inside Null and find Laura since Ember isn't in there anymore to stop you.
Dervan, you keep doing your thing
After your turns, I'm going to raise our attacks since we didn't get hit so we can raise the stakes on SC in the next turn.

Inner Thoughts: >>914771 First off, Giant Eyeball, Don't you ever bother saying anything to the witch bitch or any other adversary to satisfy their curiosity ever again. There is no point in showing our figurative poker cards. Keep our thoughts to ourselves.

inner thoughts: second, I should remind the Laura part of me that we are in a kill or be killed battle where the only way to escape is to kill Essence, otherwise, we'll all get stuck here until death. Especially true since as a reminder, Laura outside does not have much time left as she is sinking.

inner thoughts:Think of it this way, would you rather have blood on your hands from killing Essence, or would you rather have more blood on your hands by not killing Essence but being indirectly responsible for letting Essence go and let her kill thousands more? Some lives are just not worth saving. I guess it is like the trolley problem thought experiment. (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-trolley-problem)

inner thoughts:But knowing you both, you aren't going to kill Essence even if it is required... So if you still don't choose to kill Essence, then I need you to at the very least take the middle route and knock the witch bitch unconscious. According to my trainer in my first life, you can knockout someone unconscious by hitting them in the temple region of their head, in their jaw, or at the side of the neck. They will be fast asleep if done correctly, especially since she traded her magic abilities to get in here. Besides, spoiled brats do need to be punished, and a nap is a pretty decent punishment.

inner thoughts:I'm sure at the very least the giant eyeball will agree to knocking Essence out cold if he doesn't want to kill.

inner thoughts:After you either kill Essence or knock her out, then we need to focus on the corpse engine like we did last time before Essence showed up. She was preventing us from tackling that earlier, so that must be what we should focus on before time runs out.

inner thoughts: because I don't have control of this whole space at the moment. whatever Essence did to me after she sent Ember and those spirits and that engine in my body made me lose control of my body and space.

inner thoughts: I'm thinking the engine has something to do with me losing control of my body, but since Laura won't even knock out Essence to prevent her from bothering us when we mess with that engine and potentially get back control of my body when I asked Laura, we pretty much ran out of time to do that strategy and really have no other choice right now other than to decide whether or not to end Essence's life.

inner thoughts: Bottom line, Dreamwalker, You really have two choices right now: either convince Laura to kill Essence now, or continue your pacifism and watch Laura sink and die. Laura, like everyone else I know will not listen to an arrogant jerk like me when I ask her to kill to defend her life. Sure I talk down to people but I do that to give them advice to better themselves.
Laura however will only listen to you, not me. So you are the only one who can convince Laura to end Essence's life. You are the only one who can make the choice to save poor little Laura's fragile life


inner thoughts: Look, it is ok to be proud of Laura for holding on to her pacifism, but as I said before, I tried being a pacifist in my past life. I tried being friends towards that psychotic ash tree spirit and I died a traumatic death for doing nothing to defend myself like Laura is doing now, and that is something I don't want to experience again. That traumatic experience lead me sinking down a dark path I cannot escape from. And this whole situation of having this psychotic maniac Essence wanting to kill us for fun is all too familiar to me and I don't want to make that same mistake again of not defending myself.

inner thoughts: So please, Dreamwalker, convince Laura to defend her life, even if it means she has to kill. Save her

*whispers to Dervan and Scarred*
I think I have a theory. SC isn't a spirit parasite as we are thinking, rather, what is actually happening is that SC is infected by a spirit parasite. I've seen it before. Anthony still had some control over his actions and what he says when the queen was controlling him. Some control, but not total control... perhaps it is the same with SC and that helmet she can't remove? plus the fact that spirit parasites due regenerate when they are injured. She can't control her actions even though she thinks she can because that spirit parasite is controlling her actions.
I wonder... I was able to use High Priestess' Exorcism earlier to get rid of a spirit parasite when Scarred was infected by that blue liquid earlier in the battle... will I be able to get rid of that spirit parasite infecting spirit contaminator if I use High Priestess' Exorcism on her? and will it even work with that force field she is in? would we be able to talk her out of that throne to get rid of that parasite if that is the case? well doesn't matter, we can't make our turn because that abomination isn't moving to make its turn.

Inner thoughts: The Wizard of Oz, Laura. Essence is referring to the movie The Wizard of Oz. The character she was scared of was the Wicked Witch of the West.

Inner thoughts: And the interview she was referring to was Mr. Rogers interviewing the actress who played the witch. She explained how she was thrilled to play a witch in the movie as she liked to dress up as one as a child and the wicked witch may seem like a mean witch to children's point of view, but the actress always thought that in the witch's point of view she always enjoyed everything she does, but is always frustrated because she never gets what she wants, like the magic slippers for power, or anything small even. (Thinking back personally, wouldn't the witch of the West want those slippers as a memorabilia for her dead sister the wicked witch of the east, but the good witch of the north was being a bitch, gave the slippers to Dorthy (who I think didn't want those slippers in the first place), and was never told she can go home this whole time until the good witch told her she could all along until the end?

Inner thoughts: Now I know that you couldn't watch movies due to being blind, Laura but surely someone in your family must have at least read the original book of wizard of oz to you as an alternative, or at least one of the cultist from that stupid cult you're in must have read it to you... right?

inner thoughts:If not, then what about Mr. Rogers? Blind kids watch his show, and because of that, Mr Rogers would even announce just to them that he would feed his fish so those kids wouldn't get worried.

Inner thoughts:If have not heard of those, then you truly have lived a sheltered life Laura. First chance you get, read that book if you haven't, or watch that movie. then, see the world.

Inner thoughts: ...But what am I saying? I really don't see how reminiscing on these is going to solve anything. If anything I just wasted time that we don't have. What is your plan, Laura?

So if you are not sick, not scarred, or afraid, or a specimen, or spirit parasite, or human, then what are you really? I think that is a question you need to ask yourself right now not for my sake, but for your own sake, SC. because I'm starting to feel you don't even know.

And I'll just close by saying that a weird curator told me that "the world is constantly moving and those that do nothing become nothing", and well, seeing as you are doing nothing to save Ember or prove to us you have emotions and choose to just stay seated there and not do anything, I guess that makes you......... nothing?

inner thoughts:Laura, please, for everyone's sake DON'T GIVE UP! you still have that drill, you are not defenseless and you are still alive! Essence is up close to you now, You are in the perfect position to finish Essence off with that drill and win this battle!!!

inner thoughts:I'm not ordering you now, Laura. I'm begging and pleading to you with all my shattered heart. Because I am right now getting terrible flashbacks of how I died, and this moment you are in is exactly how it went down, me stabbed to death by the Ash Tree spirit because I did nothing do defend myself as I tried being a pacifist like you are doing with Essence who is about to stab us both to death. And honestly, I am scared. Not scared of Essence, but I'm more scared of you Laura for allowing this to happen when you can literally right now win by drilling Essence! I'm begging you, Laura. Please don't let me experience that moment again!!!!

inner thoughts:I know you are willing to sacrifice yourself if it means not being a murderer, but don't you realize that right now, making that choice to sacrifice yourself means you are going to technically indirectly murder me too? And not just me, but those voices as well. And most importantly for you, the one being that means the most to you, you will be murdering Dreamwalker as well! Have you considered the value of all our lives for making that choice to sacrifice yourself for your self righteous pacifism?!?!? I know you are a good person Laura. I know you are scared that you will become corrupted like Essence, but doing nothing for your pacifism will also make you corrupted... like me

inner thoughts:Listen well, Laura. Just because you have to kill to save yourself it does not mean you are going to become a bad person, or become anything corrupted like Essence. As long as you still feel awful and don't enjoy killing when you have to, you are not going to become a genocidal maniac. You have to remember, there are many soldiers of war all throughout history, especially those whom have to be drafted into war and forced to fight for their country when they don't want to, have to be forced to kill to save themselves, and millions, even trillions of other lives, just like the situation you are in now. Sure most feel awful about having to kill during the wars they fought, but the vast majority of them did not go on to become corrupted genocidal murderers.

inner thoughts:Just know Laura that whatever happens, no matter the shit we are forced to go through, you are still you, you have many supporters, like Dreamwalker, whom loves and supports you and will make sure you won't go down a path of corruption and evil. That is something you have, Laura, that I have lacked and forced me to become what I am, and that is something Essence doesn't have as well.

inner thoughts:...ah, who am I kidding... You're not going to listen to me. Nobody ever does! Everything I ever say to people always results in me being ignored or hurt even when I try giving them advice to become better people. I might as well write my will...

inner thoughts: why is SC allowed to attack Dervan twice? sure Dervan died after her first attack, but she can't be allowed to attack twice, can she? that would be cheating, right?

inner thoughts: And to make matters worse, we still can't do anything because technically, it is still the enemies' turn since the abomination hasn't attacked yet. otherwise I'd be able to put a stop to this with my powerful tarot sword at max level. Ugh, This whole thing is unfair, not letting us make a move just so that they could run out the time until Laura dies.

inner thoughts: The only thing I can hope for is that Dervan is well prepared and has some sort of mechanism in place that activates for a situation where he is killed. I know Dervan, he is a calculating man who is crazy prepared for many different situations, as he puts it, people say he is a man who gets results. He wouldn't just come in here with so much confidence and at such low hp as "666" otherwise. He is smarter than that.

Let me ask you one thing, SC, before we lose. Why? Why do you see Essence as your sister and support her so much that you are willing to let her destroy entire universes and cause so much misery towards innocent people? Especially towards someone as innocent as Laura who would rather die than kill anyone? Because I never got those answers, those were the reasons why Dervan and I see you as nothing more than a emotionless spirit parasite

*looks over to spirit contaminator*

Spirit Contaminator, it isn't my place to tell you what to do, but are you really choosing death over going with Dervan to be seen in a more positive light?

I know you care a lot about Essence, but I think you should see the opportunity you were given just now. Not only will you be seen in a more positive light, but perhaps you can show the organization not just yourself, but your allies in a more positive light as well, give your side of the story and tell them as well as us things we aren't seeing that is making us see you all the way we do, and explain all your and Essence's actions.

Also, I remember you saying you want to help Essence save this universe, and I think one way of doing it would be to convince the organization to maybe perhaps... stop this universe from being stuck in this dimensional cycle...maybe? I mean, this dimensional cycle is being exploited by Absolution Prime and other gods making it a hellhole, and I think it is only going to get worst. I believe it is one of the reasons why Essence is the way she is, by living in this cycle over and over again. That is the definition of insanity after all. If you aren't going to go with Dervan for yourself, perhaps you can do it for your family?

I mean I know the dimensional cycle is the one keeping Andrew captive, but perhaps you can urge the organization to stop the cycle and the unintentional madness it is causing to our universe and think of a better alternative.

*looks over to Scarred*

That brings me to this, Scarred. I don't know if saving the world from Root is going to matter if it is all just going to get reset at the end and we have to repeat the progress. Perhaps we should consider trying to find a way for Ana to escape the dimensional cycle in some way? I mean, stopping the fog is well and good, but I don't know whether or not if us trying to stop the fog is actually serving as a distraction in some way from the real problem that the dimensional cycle is causing on everyone in this universe, and the gods and demigods that are exploiting it, right?

*looks at the ghosts*

Also, Erik, you said your name was, do you or any of your ghost buddies know what caused the dimension cycle to reset in your, and Scarred Ana's universe? Just to give us a better idea on how it functions, and what triggers it to reset itself...

And I can only guess, and I don't want to say it for Scarred's heart's sake, but was the person whom killed you was Logan?

*whispers to Dervan* Well, Essence held someone hostage to try to get Scarred to do what she wanted earlier, which was to put symbols on a weird paper with instruments, and when she got what she wanted out of Scarred, she killed the hostage anyway. I do not think that she will just let her prisoners live if we do what she says and leave. She has also showed that she can never be reasoned with no matter what, so negotiating with Essence is out of the question. If we are going to negotiate with someone, it’ll have to be Ember, and Spirit Contaminator most likely.

With Ember, we heard ghost stories about her. Apparently from what we heard, she was fused with the ash tree while she was still alive, wanted to become one with the ash tree, but was consumed instead, presumed dead by her friends, but she came out of the crest of the tree and became what she is now. The Ash tree’s healing sap changed her into a living branch, making her become mentally unstable, becoming a ghost whom will never find peace. It’s rumored that people whom summon her die a horrific death, just like what she did to her friends who tried contacting her. Of course it is a ghost story, so some of the details might be fabricated to make the story scarier… case and point, we had ghost stories told about us which casted us in a bad light. Also, important to note, Ember went outside with Null’s heart, so Null must have given his heart to her in order to get her to follow Essence’s orders to stay outside and keep the abomination working. Think you can use that to your advantage, Dervan?
>>
No. 917642 ID: 1bfff7

*continues whispering*
With Spirit Contaminator, we’ve already given you as much information about her: >>910884 but other information I can think of: She was partnered with someone called the Will Torturer earlier on in the battle to help her mind control Scarred with that mark on her face. He left quite early on after we attacked him with only one attack leaving Spirit Contaminator to fend for herself. Also, Spirit Contaminator's real name is Blizulia. I heard Essence call her by that name earlier in the battle if that means anything.
But I do notice that she seems to have lost a couple of fingers. I don’t remember her losing them any point in this battle, but she definitely had all her fingers until just a little bit ago. Odd. That’s all I can remember about her.

Mini Absurdity, the one who Ember is holding hostage is Absurdity’s pupil. Absurdity was training Mini Absurdity to become the next janitor of this universe. However, Absurdity got arrested after his vacation leaving Mini Absurdity behind. If I remember correctly, I think he had spoken to us before somehow mentally when we were in trouble at some point. Apparently, it seems like that Null had eaten him at some point.

And Null, I don’t really know about him. He’s kind of a wild card. All I know is that he seems to have a grudge against the Ash Tree, wanting to kill it. He had helped us once to try to consume the Mad World painting when it was attacking Ana, but after Scarred refused his help, it seems he went against us, at one point revealing to the Ambassador of Ana’s actions which we were trying to keep secret and another time consuming our good friend Mini Absurdity without us knowing apparently. He was partners with Demoria, but it seems she had rejected him. He went against us to consume more in this battle, but I guess Essence mistreated him and he went against her at some point.

Laura did call Null Marty though, the same name as one of the victims who the ash tree spirit had killed before It became the Ash Tree, from what I know they are one and the same, wanting to kill the Ash Tree as revenge for killing him, stopping at nothing for power to fulfill that goal. I’m not sure if we should save him… but if he rescued Laura, and Laura said he isn’t as bad as we think, perhaps he is worth saving?

Not only does Dervan say that you were getting shot by his attacks while Spirit Contaminator aka Blizulia gets to be in a protected throne from Dervan's attacks, or even earlier in the battle be put on standby by Essence in safety when SC was in the slightest risk of danger... I remember you, Ember on the other hand, were not only put in the line of Dervan's fire by Essence's orders, but when you escaped for safety inside the abomination... or Null's body, I remember Essence angrily yelling at you for hiding, even stating that she does not care in what state you were in after being injured >>908603. If she saw you as a sibling, I would think that she would care a bit more for your safety like she did with SC earlier in the fight when she was in potential danger. That makes me think that Essence might see you not just as the lesser favorite sibling, but maybe Essence is even seeing you as expendable.

I think this leads me to this question, Ember... I notice when you finally came out of hiding to continue following Essence's orders, you had Null's heart with you. I couldn't see what was going on inside, but did Null give you his heart willingly? If he did, then perhaps he gave it to you when he was still blindly following Essence believing with all his heart... literally in this case... that her orders to you would of been safe for you to follow enough without injury, enough to even put his own heart at risk. I don't think he would of given you his heart if he thought otherwise if it meant suffering a fate worth than death as he is now in that bucket... But I think that speaks volumes as to how much less Essence might care about you... especially if you csme back out of hiding much earlier when Essence told you to and face death without Null's protective heart...

I have feeling you are being punished by Happy, Essence. summon up another ally and he will take it away, and maybe do worse if he is so inclined...
>>
No. 918670 ID: e51896

Well, I can think of a few reasons

First off, at the time, I find it quite odd that you chose to call Demoria and Null for their help over your friends earlier when Demoria stated she despises you, and would risk having them betraying you like Null just did to you after mistreating him. I would think it would of been wiser to maybe choose someone whom follows your orders to a tee without questions at that time...
...unless perhaps the reality is that you really don't have any other allies that you fully trust to follow your orders. that, and I think whats makes more sense is that you didn't want to put any more of your friends at risk in this battle at that time. And well, let me just say, after seeing how much you reacted to Spirit Contaminator being threatened, I would say after seeing those devastating attacks we pulled on you, I don't think you would want to see those same attacks be pulled on them and get them hurt either, now would you? *is bluffing about her devastating attack not resetting back to Ace of Swords level from King of Swords level*

Secondly, Calling your friends is just going to do nothing except have them witness your death. I remember when you summoned future Felafaf and TV head, you used your turn up and we were immediately given the opportunity to attack. Calling your friends would most likely mean that you would leave yourself wide open to have us target you exclusively and immediately take you down with all our strongest attacks in one turn despite those wings of yours protecting you.

Thirdly, there is one thing you are not doing that I'm absolutely surprised you aren't doing, but choosing to rather prefer to call more allies, Essence. I'm not saying what, as I don't like revealing info, but if you can't figure it out, then I guess I underestimated your intelligence.

I mean, even Happy see's the trouble you are in that you are not seeing and would rather want you to surrender. I thought you respected him in high regard, but here you are disobeying his suggestions.

Anything you want to add, Dervan? *wonders why Dervan's attack didn't cause an hp drop even though Essence is injured*

*turns to Laura*

Scarred Ana: No, not torture or even kill. This is justice, *turns back to Essence* and a promise that I made to you.

*Scarred’s Svardstav disappears and with a wave of both hands, large manacles and a collar suddenly clamp themselves down on Essence and force her to the ground. Dreamwalker looks on in horror*

Dreamwalker: Y-you didn’t... you kept those?

Scarred Ana: I did. The same manacles thst could hold a god and suppress their power. The one that held me when we switched places and I was torture by Ana. The ones I strained hard against when you killed her, Essence.

*places a hand on Essence’s head*
Scarred Ana: You always wanted us to feel the way you did, but not once did you ever want to feel how we did. Today you will.
*turns to the whole party, never taking her hand off Essence’s head and reaches out with her other hand*
Scarred Ana: Take my hand everyone...

*when they do, memories, and feelings flood through Essence and she lives through lives in the the span of a few seconds. Seconds feel as though years are passing, and she given flashes of lives lived, deaths experienced, and grief felt.

She feels how scarred felt, as though every injury were her own, every death another knife in her heart, and hardest of all the death of her own son. It continues as Essence feels every pain and all the anger Scarred felt at her, the hate turning into... understanding, and to love. And it burns worse hellfire.

Every injustice she committed against Fortune is felt in a new light, every death she inflicted felt again. The need to hide away in sleep, the joy of learning the arts of Tarot, and the burden of killing the spirit parasites, it’s not a joy for her. It’s a burden to be shouldered.

With Laura, she feels all of the sympathy she has for her, the desire not it hurt anyone and the wish for everyone to overcome their own prejudices and ways of thinking. Every evil that Essence has committed is now seen the way Laura would have seen them, a senseless and terrible tragedy. All of which could have been avoided.

With Dreamwalker she feels the loss of family and the years spanning and the love he has for Falafaf, the real heartache that was he underwent in order to try and save what he had and try and keep the small amounts of happiness.

All this and more is thrust upon Essence forced to feel and relieve all of her crimes as she were doing it to herself a hundred fold worse and lasting for what feels as though thousands upon thousands of years have gone by and grief and pains felt again and again, Almost all of which she has done to herself and all of which is done to save her from herself, a promise kept by someone who loves her.*

Laura... ok, I understand if you want to skip your turn. This is hard to watch after all...
*remembers she still has Dervan's card* but what I want you to do then, Laura, is to step aside for a bit away from Scarred, Essence, and me, without leaving the battlefield and have a conversation with Dreamwalker. You must be physically and mentally exhausted, and I'm sure you have so many things on your mind you want him to answer, and to have him comfort you. Not only that, but I feel Dreamwalker must also be mentally and physically exhausted, and could use some comfort from you after seeing you put through so much anguish, giving parts of himself up to revive you, and even finding out the truth about his brother absolution being not a good person. Plus, he might have questions he would like to ask you as well. As for me, I'm going to see if I can begin to put an end to someone's nightmare before I take my turn.

*looks over at Essence*

*wonders why Essence pleaded for us to remove the chains off her body when the chains are actually on her arms, not her body*

*suddenly realizes she might actually be referring to her soul being chained up and fused with the ash tree from the first calculated cycle, not the chains Scarred put on Essence*

When you pleaded with us to remove the chains off your body, you're not talking about the chains that Scarred put on you, right Ess... Ana? you are actually referring to the chains that your spirit's body is trapped in inside the Ash Tree, correct? I came to this conclusion since you pleaded for freedom after ranting about watching the dimensional cycle countless times.

Ana, you have done so many terrible things to us and many others that I do not think I can forgive you for such actions. But that does not mean I won't help free you from the Ash Tree.

See, my main goal has always been to try to save Ana and bring her to freedom any way I can even if it means escaping the universe she is in. And Scarred's goal has always been to stop Root's tyranny and conquest just like she did in her timeline. but after finding out about the dimensional cycle and how it is going to immediately put an end to what we accomplish and start the universe over, I realize that the goals we want to achieve just won't matter. Even if Ana escapes this universe, she will still be tied and stuck to it as soon as the universe resets itself, and I think Scarred also came to this conclusion after she found out about Absolution's betrayal from her timeline.

The way I see it, this dimensional cycle is one of the roots of all of this universe's problems. And to make matters worse, so many gods like Absolution Prime are using this cycle as their toy box, and experimental table. And really, I think it is time to put the toys away, and grow up. Something needs to finally be done about the dimensional cycle, all without causing a threat to the multiverse...

So okay, Ana. We will do what you ordered us to do, and do our best to help free your spirit from the Ash Tree's chains so finally you and all of us voices can finally be free from this dimensional cycle and perhaps be the hero that your sister Spirit Contaminator wants you to be.

But I can only free you on this condition: I need you to swallow your pride, and admit defeat in this fight right now so that Laura can go home at last with Dreamwalker. That is the only way Scarred and I can begin freeing you.

I understand the situation of the dimensional cycle. So many of us voices, us Anas, have already reached our conclusions of our stories, whether we had failed or succeeded in what we wanted to accomplish in our own cycle, and whether we, like I, remember or not. trying to accomplish the same goals in the same way as we did in our past is only going to end with it all being reset...

And I really think the cycle at this point have exhausted all the possible outcomes that each of us voices... us Anas went through in each of our respective universe's cycles. To me, what happens to this world does not matter anymore. What matters is to free ourselves from it at all costs.

...

Alright, Ana... just like you wanted Scarred and I to do all this time, I will follow your orders. I will do everything I can to release you... rather release all of us Anas from the chains that the Ash Tree has put on you, on all of us. we will do our best to find a way for all of us Anas, including you, to finally be free from the dimensional cycle in anyway that we can.

And as unfortunate as it sounds... to save Laura *picks up tarot wand* I will also follow your orders to put an end to you in this fight, Ana... but also, just as the laughing mask side of you said, rather what the Essence side of you said... the side which was wrong needs to die. With that in mind, I will kill that side of you, Ana.

Laura, what was the question you wanted to ask? I know she does not want to hear it, but you can ask me perhaps.

*looks at Essence*

yes, Ana. I am already aware that the previous world dies when the cycle resets itself. That is the whole point of resetting.

and breaking the cycle is not my main goal. My main goal is to free you from the chains of the Ash Tree, to release us all from reliving this cycle, to prevent the Ana we guide from reliving this cycle as another spirit like me and Scarred and the other voices.

And while you have showed me vision of the constructed future that you lead the Ana that you guided into, and while that future I admit did look good... was that constructed future really the best outcome that can be provided?

Ana in that timeline was miserable and in pain.
She was haunted by the ghosts that she had to kill to reach that goal you lead her to achieve.
She was searching for any kind of confirmation if the path she chose was the right path for her that no one could truly provide, even going through stages of grief over it despite the praise she got from her peers.
She tried desperately all those years to try to find a way talk to us again after you took us away from her for what seems like decades, even trying to fix Scarred's totem to talk to us again.
She felt guilt, and was hurting because of her actions that she had to take to reach that goal to the point where she considered suicide.

And even if that future looked like the best, there were still major looming conflicts that could not be solved, like that woman who had the power to kill immortals.

And that said, if that future was really the best outcome for her then... why did you risk allowing us the chance to leave that constructed future you worked so hard to make to unknowingly to us tear it down and go back in the past in the first place? If that was the best outcome for Ana, you would have left us in Limbo never to see Ana again. But you ultimately had us come back to have us go back to the timeline we left away from the constructed future you constructed. Why?

Perhaps... even you knew deep down that constructed future wasn't the best outcome for Ana, otherwise you would have left us alone and not have us abandon that future.

*looks at Laura and Dreamwalker*

Dreamwalker, are you going to answer Essence's question? if you had the chance, would you yourself leave this dimension? and if you did, what would you do? create a new universe? and if you didn't, why?

And Laura, I don't know if that constructed future was just a fabrication, otherwise Future Felafaf wouldn't exist, neither would Logan's future daughter. They seemed pretty real to me. Which makes me again wonder: if that future was the best for Ana, why did Essence even bother to bring us back to Ana (or rather, the Bringer of Nightmares) and ruin the future Essence worked so hard to make?

But it is an interesting theory you have about Essence not being a real person, and is just a construction by Happy, but it makes me wonder how he was able to construct Essence from the first dimensional cycle in the first place or even reach her, as we voices have a heavy connection with the first Ana who got stuck in the Ash tree in the first cycle.

*looks at Essence*

Well, in any case, Essence, perhaps your future was the best outcome for Ana. But even if that is true, would it just end up getting reset by the Dimensional Cycle again anyway? Your future would just be as pointless as us trying to stop Root's Cult...

speaking of which, Essence, you can take solace in knowing that I have been highly considering waking Ana back up to stop her from seeing the past to find out how to stop the fog. It is something I will have to discuss with Scarred after this battle first.

But in my opinion, find that trying to stop the cult's fog is only going to distract us from the main problem of the dimensional cycle and how to escape from it in any way we can... whether it be by putting a stop to the dimensional cycle without it causing a multiuniversal apocalypse, or keeping the cycle going as I try to find a way for you, Essence, to free your soul and thus all of our souls, including Ana's from the Ash Tree in the first Dimensional Cycle.

...And if I have to kill the Ana that is stuck trapped in the Ash Tree in the first dimensional cycle thus in turn killing all of us voices as well for our freedom... so be it. We've already lived our lives anyway. We shouldn't really be lingering around anymore.

I mean, isn't escaping destiny what you have been striving to do in the first place, Essence? Me too.

In any case, Whatever future is ahead, Laura and Dreamwalker needs to be alive for it, thus I cannot allow them to die in this battle.

Would I create a new universe if given the chance...?

Maybe. If the circumstances were right. Some old worshipers of me thought of me as a kind of “Dream Father.” Others preferred to call me “Mind Shepherd.” To be honest I’ve always preferred the former. A shepherd, like Essence here, thinks only their way is correct, that they do things out of love but they want to move their sheep to their own way. But we aren’t talking about sheep, were talking about people. People need a father to teach them right from wrong and people need to be allowed to make mistakes, how else will they learn.

I would create a new universe for everyone but only if I was able to save my children, humans and life can’t just accept this loop over and over again. To keep making the same mistakes over and over again, that’s hell.

We all deserve better.

*is still in confusion, silence and weirded out by Scarred kissing Essence, and then getting Essence's blood all over herself*

*finally breaks silence* I... don't think I'll ever understand love.

Alright, yeah, I agree, Laura. Essence's reaction of getting stabbed was kind of weird, kind of like she shut down and something else was trying to wake up inside her after she shut down...

Hmm...

I don't know what to make of this, but three ideas on what we should do with Essence came to mind out of this confusion. We could either:

1. Just finish Essence off and end the match thus saving Laura's life and forget this awkward moment never happened

2. I could try to use my Moon Card on Essence after Scarred tries stabbing Essence in the heart again without killing her and see if something hidden is causing Essence's weird behavior from getting stabbed in the heart. (This is NOT something I want to do though, as I prefer not to destroy my moon card, it is kind of a memento to remember the Ana we lost, the Bringer of Nightmare by. And I want to try to fix it in case we need to use it again... but I will use it if you really insist)

or

3. This one is crazy, but Stab Essence in the heart and get her into that state again, again without killing her. Once she is out of it again, Laura can try perhaps... using that mind negotiation again?

I don't know. Thats all the ideas I can think of. Scarred, Laura, Dreamwalker... what is your opinions?

Unfortunately there are many times where I spared someone only leading to bad thing happening. Thus, as bad as it sounds, we'll need to finish Essence off. I can't think of any other way to save you, Laura.

Besides, I don't know what doing nothing will accomplish except stall time for Essence to find an escape and get the upper hand on us. There is no stalemates either.

I know you want to skip your turn again, Laura. But instead of skipping your turn, you should replenish your health with a healing food just in case (cereal or pizza).

I voted finishing her off. Scarred, what is your vote?

>>919890
If I might interject a moment...

I think finishing her off would be extraordinarily bad, especially since we are operating on video game logic and specifically what I can only assume is Final Fantasy.

The thing is however we’ve also been assuming that Essence herself is something a final boss but the more I think about it, the more I realize that this might not be the case.

Here’s the thing. In Final Fantasy there is such a thing as player summoning, however, the only people that’s perform summoning are the players themselves. Laura can Summon, but so can Essence.

This means what we’ve been thinking of as “the final boss and her forms” really isn’t that at all. It’s player vs. player, PVP as it were. And in every final fantasy game, there is always one option near the bottom to get out of fight when things look their bleakest. And the best part is, it will end the fight right here and now.

Essence, can you use the “Flee” option?

Do you even care about how I feel? You say I need to keep my promise, but you don’t even remember that promise do you? You don’t even care how I feel about it. Maybe this isn’t what I want, even though you do. Why are you in such a rush to die all of a sudden? I don’t want us to win or lose, I want all of us to live. And I can’t believe you don’t seem to understand that at all. No matter how hard I try to show you that fact, you refuse to accept it. I showed you our pain and our lives to help you understand me. But again, I failed.

This isn’t what I want at all. What hurts me is the idea of losing you to yourself. I tried to set that aside the first time and to ask me to do it again, it’s like a sick joke but nobody laughs. I’ve lost almost everyone I’ve ever loved. And to have you ask me to take that all away for your sake... it’s not fair. It just not fair. You don’t know me at all. You don’t care.

I wonder if you ever really did. I can’t trust you to not hurt me, Essence. And that’s what hurts me most of all, the fact that you think death is the only option to solve that fact, and you are unwilling to try for me.

odd. This is quite different than what was supposed to happen.

I remember two particular drawings Anthony made.

one was Scarred Ana continuously attacking Essence, which has not happened as far as I know.

The other was a secret drawing in which Essence chained while Scarred with a knife and axe was mutilating Essence and Scarred was screaming SING FOR ME LITTLE BIRDY! SING ME YOUR DEATH SONG!
This moment with Essence chained up like that reminds me too much of that drawing by Anthony, and yet that moment is far from happening.

If Anthony is known to have dreams of different times of certain things happening, then I don't know if that moment already happened and we forgot about it somehow, or if that is a moment that has yet to come, and yet, Scarred crying here is very different from that outcome. Very odd.

In any case, Scarred, the way I see it, our universe has a tendency of giving people hope, promise, faith, and goals that seem very possible to reach... only to have our universe tear those apart mercilessly. It doesn't matter how psychotic like Essence, or pure like Laura you are. Whatever goals we want to achieve, you can bet it will be taken away by the universe we are from.

...

*prepares wand for an attack*

that said, I feel the most we can do is exploit that fact of the universe taking away what we want to our advantage somehow.

*still has wand prepared and pointed at Essence*

...

*talking to Essence* its not a matter of not wanting to kill you, it is a matter of needing to kill you.

*talking to Laura* ugh, it seems I am outvoted one to three.

Listen Laura... I acknowledge the vote's results.
I'm aware that we have overcame those obstacles that you mentioned.
And after learning about what Dreamwalker found out about Scarred and Essence, seeing Essence disappointed in having me kill her instead of Scarred, and considering the mark on Scarred's cheek that could of only been given to her from love between Essence and Scarred, I see that could be the one chance on getting the results of ending this without anyone dying that you all want...

...but...

while we overcame those obstacles, I want you to really remember what it cost us to make those results happen.

We got Felafaf and Flint to leave, but it was at the cost of both of them getting wounded until unconscious instead of being able to rescue them.
We took care of the abomination, but we couldn't save ALL the spirits, and it resulted in Null losing everything (which I don't care too much about him, but seeing you were saved by him, you probably have gained some level of feelings with him)
And we solved the hostage negotiation without anyone dying, but it resulted in our friend(s) being kidnapped instead of being released, with the possibility of punishment for them in some way.

So while a solution may likely exist to try negotiations using what Dreamwalker found out through Scarred and other facts we know to our advantage, like the mark on Scarred's cheek, I want you to realize that there is most likely a hidden cost you'll have to take that you might not like in doing this mind negotiation.

And while I know there is also a cost of my decision in saving you means killing Essence and having her army after us for revenge, at the very least I know your safety is guaranteed for a while longer.

So here is what is going to happen Laura, My choice is still to eliminate Essence, but considering the vote, I will hold off on making my move, but I am NOT going to skip my turn either. I'm going to wait a little longer.

Instead, before I take my turn, if you really have the confidence for it Laura, I will allow you and Dreamwalker to do one final mind negotiation in this battle, This time with Essence. I will give you the chance to change her mind. You did invade her dream to negotiate and learn about her in the first place anyway
(You should still be able to do negotiations despite already taking your turn since if I remember, negotiations do not count as an official move.)

But I'll only allow this negotiation to take place on these conditions:

1. you need to get three diplomatic points within three of your negotiations turns for the negotiation to go in your favor (while keeping in mind each diplomatic point will be more difficult to gain). If you can't do that, then I must take my turn to eliminate Essence. Be aware that Essence is a master manipulator. So you and Dreamwalker must be weary of any tricks she may pull.

2. Because I am waiting to take my turn to let you do this, I will NOT heal you as doing so will result in me losing a turn and having it be Essence's turn. You'll have to go in with the amount of hp you have.

3. If I catch anything bad about to somehow happens to you during this negotiation, I am immediately pulling the plug and eliminating Essence.

4. Because this will be your decision, Laura, I will not be held responsible for what might happen considering I voted against this idea.

Now, considering the stipulation I provided, and considering the costs we gave in order to overcome previous obstacles, and the risks you'd be taking with the amount of hp you have, do you and Dreamwalker have the guts and confidence to try your mind negotiations one last time using the knowledge you've gained and already learned about Scarred and Essence? Think very carefully about this.

yeah, what you said seems to correspond with your belief that Essence not being a real person, just a construct of Happy's, and "she" is only trying to attempt and imitate human emotions, almost to the point of her just being imaginary. It feels as if she needs to be known one way, or another by any kind of publicity stunt she pulls, good or bad, almost like she needs the attention to exist.

*lowers the wand away from Essence*

Honestly, at this point, I really don't care about Essence and what she wants to do, will do or what she has done anymore. There is far more important things to do than give her any kind of positive or negative attention by her actions. Yeah, I think we're done with her.

Next, I think we should discuss what we should do next

*looks at Laura and Dreamwalker*

Laura, you discussed how you want to find your father again. Just know that the world has become a much more dangerous and scarier place. Ana who we are helping has been in a lot of trouble in the city that we had to get her out of, even defusing a complicated bomb, and we still haven't even entered the forest yet believe it or not. And that is just scratching the surface, anybody else we have followed, observed, and/or helped often even find themselves in some manner of trouble in one way or another, like Laurence, Matilda, even Root himself. Needless to say, going on an adventure to find your father is not going to be fun, very difficult, and might end in heartache.

If you are still interested despite the risks, I strongly recommend finding people you can trust as allies to help you on your search for your father, not just dreamwalker. If you need a good person to start with, try Anthony. He has started showing signs of wanting out of the cult, and would probably escape with you, whether it is to help find your father, or just escape. His girlfriend may come along to. Though you may have to wait until after the trial with Godfrey concludes. In fact, you should probably go to the trial to get a better understanding on what is going on with Ana and everyone's stance on what is happening.

*looks over at Scarred.*
*Decides to help Scarred get over her sadness and completely get her mind off Essence by changing the subject to Ana*

I guess it is time for us to discuss what we ourselves should do next with Ana. I'm wondering, after everything we have went through, what we learned about the cult, about our knowledge of Absolution's betrayal and what he is trying to do with this universe, and the knowledge of this dimensional cycle... are you truly still committed to continue to stick to your past and make taking down the cult top priority, or do you want to help me find a way to help Ana and us escape this dimensional cycle somehow...
or do you have something else in mind for her. Ana's safety is our top priority after all.

Depending on your decision, we should also discuss whether to pull the plug on continuing to see the past as well...

*inner thoughts* her name is Magna.

*sniff, continues to ignore Essence* The cult’s goals are pointless. If we understand how they do what it is they do we stand a better chance if understanding them. If we understand them well enough, then we have a chance of making them listen to reason.

If we work together then we might be able to escape this prison cell of universe. As for Absolution... he may pose the biggest threat he doesn’t understand that there’s nothing to gain by staying here. If we want to live, we need to make him understand too.

*puts her hand on Laura's shoulder and gives her a look of reassurance to help continue to get Laura's mind off of Essence*

yes Laura, But also, this is a threat that you should not worry about at all anymore and just ignore. Trust me.

Now then, if you truly want to find your father after all the advice I've given you, just look for allies to help in your search, and most importantly, don't stray away from Dreamwalker.

*is not looking at Essence, is only speaking with Laura* Hm, good point, Laura, and besides, if Ember doesn't take revenge, Null would probably.
I mean granted, Null most likely will get killed by Happy as soon as possible for going against Essence, and even if he isn't killed, he may just stay a useless blob in a bucket not able to do anything as he should be... but I also must add I have seen people come out of terrible situations, seemingly killed only to come back miraculously, sometimes even improved like Flint becoming tv head after he died or Clarence who after getting killed by the fog, coming back to life as a doll.

*whispers to Laura* though I did think of another reason why Essence's plan is flawed. Essence isn't considering Anubis' deep feelings for Essence, and how Anubis might possibly think what would happen to Essence as a consequence if she were to follow Essence's orders.

enough said. To change the subject, The only other things I can think of asking you Laura, is what kind of dream adventures did you have before coming to this dimension? I know you were spending a lot of time traveling from dream to dream of other people, and was just interested in knowing if you found out anything of interest about anyone through their dreams?

No. 920876 ID: e51896

ok.

from what I understand... Essence, Scarred, and I have the exact same goal: which is wanting nothing more than to help Ana survive this strange new world, to keep her away from any more harm. The only difference is how we try to go about achieving this goal. Yet each one of our paths is flawed in some way (my inactivity when needed, Scarred's blind revenge and hotheadeness, Essence's mistreatment to a lot of people).

...

And after considerations, I think I have a weird solution to all this:

what if we just form a truce of some sort right here and now, and just allow Essence to help guide Ana as another voice, or as an equal to Scarred and I?
I mean it is clear to me that she wants desperately and painfully to guide Ana and prevent her from danger, and prevent Ana from making the same mistakes from previous cycles, and that is something we want too, right?

The issue I am seeing though is that while Essence has seen this cycle enough times to know the dangers and risks and is thus knowledgeable about most things, her seeing this nightmarish cycle over and over again however damaged her sanity, and she may continue to hurt others whether she means to or not without thinking of the consequences.
I realize this all throughout this battle based off her mistreatment towards her allies Ember, TV Head, or complete strangers like that guy she beheaded through the portal, leading to either her allies leaving her during battle like TV Head, not listening to her like Karikatura Scarred Ana did, or even possibly plan revenge like Ember might be doing.

With her mistreatment towards others being a risk to Ana's safety, the only way I can allow Essence to guide Ana with us is if she shows a bit of humility by just surrendering this battle like Happy wanted so that Laura and Dreamwalker can escape. It is a decent start to stabilize the sanity she lost, and show a bit more respect to others.

and if it is truly a fight where only one party leader is left standing can escape, then I suspect that there is a loophole around that issue which is: what if one party leader joins the other party leader? as in what if Essence joins Laura during her turn for example, thus essentially making her a regular party member instead of a party leader, making Laura the only party leader left standing? that might be a possible loophole around that rule, right?

If we want to go down that road I think it would be better if Laura and Dreamwalker consumed those bad memories that make her crazy and also the ones of Happy as well. Then she really would be another voice that can help us in guiding Ana.

No, it wasn't Laura who made Scarred the way she is now. It was you who did that after you two somehow formed that relationship you forgot about. If you still deny it, then how do you explain the mark on Scarred's cheek then? That could not have been made without forming a loving relationship between the two of you.

And as far as killing you goes, did you even think of the consequence if we killed you? nobody will be able to protect Spirit Contaminator from Ember and probably Null after your mistreatment towards them. And who knows, their revenge might not just be directed to you, but could extend to Ana as well. Ember might want to go after Ana as well and kill her. Not to mention, once news of your death by our hands gets out, people whom supported you will also want Ana dead as revenge.

And as far as killing Laura goes, don't you realize that if you kill Laura, the cult will find out and thus place more priorities in killing Ana as a result of someone very closely associated with Ana: you killing Laura? They aren't stupid, they will deduce it was a person associated with Ana that killed Laura.
Their priority right now is rescuing Root, which works as a perfect distraction and we wouldn't want them to shift their attention away from rescuing Root and go after Ana instead, especially if we are considering to stop looking into the past.

If you don't believe me, think about how your mistreatment to Ember caused her to gain hatred towards you for possible revenge, Essence. I know you hate people who are above consequences. Don't become what you hate. you'll just become a hypocrite.

Yes you could do that, or you could hear them out. Here is what we have decided Essence, you don’t have to end it here. There’s a very very fun and old saying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmYK8fGKSA0

Right now you can join Scarred and Fortune in guiding Ana. You would abandon this bloody conflict you’ve started and instead you could be the guide you’ve always wanted to be. However, it comes with one condition, you must surrender your mind to Laura and Myself, and we will consume your trauma. You will be a changed person, without the painful memories that made you who you’ve become now. But for it to work, we need to know you, how you got to where you are now. Will you open your mind to us? Will you give yourself a second chance?

Quite complicated.

I would love nothing more than to remove Ana from this world and live somewhere safer... but that is only a temporary solution, isn't it? Even after she lives a long normal life in a new world, she is only going to end up back in that dark world again as a spirit like Scarred and I as she is tied to the dimensional cycle, correct?

No, I think if we truly want to save Ana, we'll have to somehow break that link she has with the dimensional cycle somehow. I think that is my main goal. to sever the chains to the dimensional cycle Ana is tied to. that is the only way she can be saved in my eyes.

After seeing Scarred's ghost friends go off to the afterlife peacefully and happily, and knowing we can't go where they are, or any kind of after life and just stay stuck here to the cycle, I think breaking Ana outta that cycle is what I need to do for all of us spirits, and you as well Essence.

and no, that does not mean we will continue trying to stop the cult. I think I'm done with the goal of trying to stop them, or try to stop the fog. I am no longer going to go against them, and will only attack them if they provoke us at this point.

It’s not as contradictory as you think. By fixing such a broken world, wouldn’t we also be saving her?

I don’t think of just Ana but everyone else that is trapped in this damned cycle. We’re all prisoners here fighting over bread and fighting amongst ourselves when we should work on finding a way to break through the walls.

Self preservation is pointless because the only thing we preserve is this world to continue on breaking the wills of others and letting it shape them.

What a dumb question. Shame on all of you.

You are all thinking in only in black and white. When all you see is black and white and shades of grey you forget to look for the other colors as well.

What is so shameful about all of this is you are talking about a person who has a mind of her own. She has the right to free choice just as much as all of you do.

Essence, you see everything as you do for Ana's benefit. But what you offer her isn't love or help, it's abuse. You want to control her like one of your puppets that you obsess over, but that robs her of her individuality. What you offer her isn't any kind of protection or real safety. You would hover over her like an overprotective parent and lead her about like a misbehaving child and give her no repercussions for her actions and no choices left to her. Why do you think I offered you the chance to have your trauma taken away, because forcing upon you would be wrong. People must understand that there are consequences for their choices. When there isn't we end up with a situation like this, where it seems blood is the only answer.

Fortune, i've watched you throughout this cycle and I must say, your pessimism and your laxity is your biggest flaw. You look at this situation only thinking what you yourself have done and what you have told Ana to do. It seems then you decided that caring about others hurt too much, and you deadened yourself to the pain. You're developing a kind of tunnel vision that blinds you to the other issues with this world and the dimensional cycle. You wish to focus on saving Ana, but you would damn those who stand against you. Even entire species of people, and yes I am talking about the spirit parasites. Now you would damn the rest of humanity with them, forever trapped in this limbo. Broaden your gaze, for the sake of your own soul.

Scarred, your attitude it just all over the place. You have a noble goal in mind but your self sacrifice and drive to be a hero puts everyone else in danger. I liked where you were going with your answer for a second, but you too forgot the crucial detail. Ana isn't you, and you can't make her like you. If you make her like you, then what would be left? A cheap imitation and a copy of a martyr. You can't always save everyone, it's a sad fact and a tragedy, but there it is. It's not fair and it's cruel but it's life. Have some thought to yourself and what it is you want. You can only give so much, if you give too much, nothing will be left you but a broken idea and a shadow of a person. Learn to forgive, and move as best you can.

How do any of us gain or grow? If Essence wins, Ana is still trapped. If Fortune wins, other's are doomed. If Scarred Wins, nothing is left of Ana. I'm tired of this farce of who fights who and who and who guides Ana.

Now if you insist on this stalemate, we can let it continue to it's final stupidity and pointless end.

Or, we can create an alternative that is fair and equal to all of us.

Yes I have existed longer than you but I never filled Scarred's head or yours for that matter with anything more than what I gave everyone else who has come before you. As for the term, God, it's just what I am. As Yahweh said to Moses at the burning bush "I am what I am." Would you like to see why I find Ana and this cycle both fascinating and horrifying?

*opens palm to show a something like tiny starlights in his hand*

See these? These are unborn dreams. Each them are given to everyone upon sleeping, and they grow and grow and are planted again upon waking. I can modify dreams yes, and I can change things around when I really want to. But for the most part, I let the imaginations and hopes of others let them grow.It's like a gardener taking care of his beloved plants. But within this endless cycle, and repeating days and different Ana's the dreams of humanity has become an unmanageable jungle of thoughts and contradictions. There is no room for humanity to grow anymore because their dreams and aspirations have over grown and self-replicated to where even I can no longer manage them. This cycle cannot cannot continue, lest humanity and the universe infinitely repeat. And to try the same thing over and over again expecting different results is madness.

And Essence, again what we offer has flown completely over your head. You can't make anyone like yourself. Do that, and all you'll have is a copy of a copy of copy, until it becomes a stand alone complex. All of you a hollow shell of someone else, that's why we can't accept that. But what we can offer is partnership, you wouldn't have to change much at all. What me and Laura would do is remove the trauma that has made your reasoning this way. Even then, it would be your decision to do that. Think of it as signing a document of consent before surgery if that makes any sense. But know that even this would leave a scar, and pieces of you would still exist.

*glances at Scarred*

Sometimes the Trauma is so great I can only provide little help. But I still try, because then proper healing can begin. Essence, If you are truly adamant that your way is the only way, then I feel sorry that your emotional and personal growth has been so stunted that you are unable to see past it, and I feel sorry that you are unable to let go your trauma and that you've let the world define you so horribly.

Ultimately what it comes down to is one simple question. Are you going to let the world define you? Would you rather define the world?

And Laura what she is talking about is the ability to communicate and negotiate. That's been our ace in the whole this entire time.

Yeah, I have an idea whom it might be. You were praying to him before you even sent Laura in this strange dimension. That is why I didn't say Dreamwalker as an answer.
Though, I thought if we ever did meet him, I thought it would be close to the end of our quest in something like final dungeon or something similar.

But before you open Pandora's box, I wonder if you thought long and hard about your decision or if you are jumping into this decision without thinking, considering what may happen to Blizulia (Spirit Contaminator) by Ember's hands without your presence, or what Anubis may do to Ana once she catches wind of your death and blames us for it without you stopping her...

and there is a third very important reason why it is a bad idea for you to sacrifice yourself that you are forgetting about, but I don't feel like telling you why, except it isn't going to have an effect on Laura, or us, no matter who you may summon.

But if you're really going to sacrifice yourself with those facts in mind, I guess my last words to you would be... checkmate.

rolled 3, 6, 4 = 13

Scarred, Dreamwalker. I'll be real here. You are acting out in fear again, and thus lashing out in anger. And because of that, you are even ignoring all logic... just like you always do in these situations, and I have grown far beyond tired of your attitudes. I even said "Checkmate" as a response to if Essence sacrifices herself as I see the logic you aren't seeing, as your fear and anger is clouding your vision once again, as it has done so so so many times, and I said "checkmate" in hopes it would keep you both calm and collected even if you don't see the logic...

But it seems my best attempts at trying to keep your courage stable is a failed effort, and honestly, I don't see the point in trying to keep you both level headed as I never see any improvement, and I am considering it is impossible. I guess it is a fact that in this world, people never change no matter the circumstances.

I guess for the sake of my teammates' attitude I'll have to explain the third reason as to why Essence sacrificing herself is a terrible idea for her. I wanted to keep it a secret, but I guess I can never keep a secret no matter how hard I try, can I?

the third reason is this: the battle is won if either Laura, or Essence dies. If Essence sacrifices herself to have someone else control her body, the battle is immediately won with the victor being Laura, as Essence would have died from suicide. Even if the person Essence is threatening to summon were to control Essence's dead body, it would not be Essence, it would be someone else. Essence would be dead.

That is the logic I have to explain to you two that I was supposed to keep a secret from Essence, but you ruined it through your fear and anger having Essence skip her turn.

At this point, because of your temper tantrums, I do not care what happens whether you slay or spare Essence, and I do not care what happens to us anymore. At the very least your temper tantrums have given me an opportunity to heal Laura again.

I'll leave it to your decision whether or not you want to kill her.

I think what Scarred is trying to say is, please don't think that violence is the ONLY solution to EVERY problem. That is how you make people hate you, and want revenge, like Rosalia for what we did to her sister, or Anubis for what we accidentally did to her world.

Case and point, don't you dare forget that we have accomplished so much in this battle without having to resort to violence. We manage to survive this far with negotiation, and our wits alone, and I am really impressed by what you accomplished doing that, Laura...

but... you should also dare not think that violence should not be a solution either. It is unfortunate, but sometimes we just don't have a choice in the matter, and have to kill. It really depends on the situation, and if all other possibilities have dried out.

In any case, I should state the battle is not yet over. I healed us all back to full health just in case in my turn, and Scarred attacked in her turn. It is now your turn, Laura.

And there were a few instances I can think of where we believe we have won a battle when something swoops in in the last second to make our victory all for nothing... I'm thinking of when we thought we won in protecting absolution of this universe from the cult only to fail, and when we thought we've defeated Spirit Parasite only to have her give us a final surprise attack out of nowhere and made us lose Felafaf, and when flint made a sneak attack on Ana when we thought we won

So, with those in mind, I really, really hate to ask this of you, Laura, but to make absolutely sure Essence is dead, I think for your turn, you have to deliver one final blow with your dream sword into head, where her brain is, as Scarred already got her in the heart.

I'm sorry to ask of this to Laura, Dreamwalker, but I have experienced so many last minute attacks from our enemies where we think we have won, let our guard down, and fail because of it.

My plan has always been from the start to rescue Ana by helping her escape. Ana herself said that is what she wanted when Dervan gave her that option. I have deeply considered leaning towards that option, and honestly, I feel like not tying ourselves down to this small universe anymore and go on a adventure out in the multiverse to make our own happiness. We are responsible for our happiness and safety after all.

Plus, we will also be rescuing Absolution Junior from the cult, and from Absolution prime, and anybody else who wants his power by hiding him far away from this universe. That way, even when Ana and her friends' life reaches their end, he can carry on and grow.

The thing is though, I do not think it is going to be as easy as Dervan is making it out to be. Everything comes with a price... I'm sure Ana escaping this dimension with Dervan's help will have risks of their own just as trying to save this world has its own risks.

Mainly I am wondering about some people like Triumphant's vague warning about not having Ana leave, and I wonder if whether or not the curtain wielder would come after Ana for dimensional hopping without his approval... and not to mention, just because we take this exit off this universe does not mean we are safe from our enemies. people who want revenge against us such as Rosalia, and Anubis might still chase after Ana. But in any case, we can at least show that an attempt was made to leave... We will just have to be prepared for that too when we choose that option.

But the way I see it, the risks I am thinking of in escaping is just like how in history, there have been people who try to escape a dictatorship in their country and seek refuge in a safer country, escaping spies who are hired to try to kidnap the refugees back to the country they are escaping from as prisoners. or even slaves in the US trying to escape the south and head up north. Taking Dervan's offer will also have its challenges. But as long as we are with Ana, I'm sure we can succeed in what gets thrown at us.

Sorry, I'm just rambling at this point. My question to you, Laura and Dreamwalker... would you like to come escape with us? we are allowed I think about 10 friends to accompany us in this escape, and so far we have Ana, AJ, maybe wildcat, Scarred, and myself.
>>
No. 924004 ID: e51896

In any case, we should be focusing on the present. The battle is not over. Scarred, I don't think you can use the knife on Essence, or do anything more to her as you already took your turn. It is Laura's turn to make an action before the battle ends.

And if Essence is truly dead, I think the only thing I would want Laura in her turn is to take all the items in Essence's inventory that we can get, such as get my totem back, and/or any of those cursed papers and items she uses (like the paper with the trumpets on it) or perhaps her diary she was writing in.

And since the battle is over, I wonder what happens now, or what kind of reward we may get...

Understood. So you're planning to stay Laura. *looks at Dreamwalker I suggest you stay with Laura then. you were told that it is the most important thing for both of you to do right now. that means, NO MORE TRAVELING TO OTHER DIMENSIONS TO TALK TO OTHERS WHILE LINKED WITH LAURA like you have been doing with Triumphant for example. Also, no more dream hopping unless you absolutely need to. That is how she got trapped here in the first place. Just stay with Laura, and pretend you are human for the time being. Protect her.

*looks back at Laura* As for what to do on your turn, what is done is done. Essence needs to die, not just for our sake, but for hers as well. Right now, I suggest only two options:
First option, you skip your turn and let Essence's life end naturally during her turn. Her body will be left here and that could risk someone like one of her allies coming in and taking it away to revive her after the battle ends for later... but at least you won't be seen as the one who murdered her.
Second option, you can make one final attack on Essence with a Fantasy Beam to obliterate her body, the same move you used on her when you first met her and saved Ana but stopped mid-way. This should ensure that nobody takes her body and revives her just like what was done with Flint, and Clarence after they died and has her coming after us again... but you will have her allies come attack you for revenge, especially Anubis.

I'm leaning towards option 2... but I want to hear what option Dreamwalker and Scarred chooses first. I know you don't like the idea of ending another's life after all.

Reviving Essence is not an option. At this point, she is far too gone, and far too dangerous for our health to be kept alive, and... I just want this nightmare of a battle to end. I'm exhausted.

*looks at items she retrieved*
*thinking to herself*: But in the end of the day, I'm just glad I FINALLY got my totem back. It felt like a part of me was missing for so very long until I got it back. I'll have be careful not to lose it again, and consider giving it to Triumphant for evidence against Essence and Happy especially since Robbit already gave the two dark totems, and Scarred's damaged totem to Melkior the incubus as evidence for the Dimensional Tribunal. For now, I'll keep it close to me. Nobody will take this away from me.

*thinking to herself*: as for the knife... eehhhh... I... feel very uncomfortable holding it... but at the same time... I feel a sense of great power over me. It's like the one ring to rule them all, but with Pandora's box properties.
This could be a very dangerous item in the wrong hands. I do not know what Scarred was planning to do with it, but if she were to use it on Essence in any way, that would be bad news. Thus, necessary actions will be to find a way to quarantine this knife. But for now, I'll keep it close to me. Nobody will take this away from me.

It almost looks like a spirit parasite... 

If I had to guess, that thing probably wasn't directly controlling Essence, rather, I think it was only influencing her actions... 
Kind of like... how we influence Ana's actions with our suggestions. That would probably explain Meat Monster and inspector crowcawski... she was actually talking with this thing, not them. That said, Essence would most likely still be the same cruel person if she were to be revived even with this parasite not in her... 

But I think this explains one thing I have been wondering: I was told that if Essence were to die, Scarred, I, and all the other voices would die too, kind of like a hive mind thing... and yet, we seem to still be alive despite Essence being dead. It made no sense until this branch Parasite showed up. Scarred, I assume we might be linked in some way to this thing, not Essence... and I am pretty worried what this implies about you and I, Scarred. But in any case, if we kill this thing, we might risk going down with it if what I am thinking is true...

Sorry Fortune, I'm out of patience for that.

Kill it Laura, if it does escape it could bring another Essence in here or make someone just as bad as she was. We can't risk that happening. We were told that even if we did kill Essence we would lose our connection to Ana, and that's not been the case.

*sigh* and I'm way too mentally exhausted and confused anyway. With all the drama I'm continuously going through, I give up. I just quit. It is too much. So I Might as well just let this happen at this point and hope for a miracle that maybe this is actually a good idea.

Just know that I might not be able to rescue you and Dreamwalker any longer if something bad happens to you, nor will we be held responsible for this now that you've taken this route, Laura.

To be honest Laura I’m disappointed in you. You probably don’t even care anymore. I’m not disappointed that you aren’t like me, but that you did this to yourself to even try to be like me. I wanted you to learn and be your own person, it’s the same thing I want for Ana.

No. 925134 ID: e51896

Scarred, it wasn't cool that you pulled my arm away from Laura when I tried to hand the knife over to her. Despite everything, I know Laura is still our friend, maybe even our best friend.
But I don't think I should fault you too much, Scarred. After all, you did find out that Absolution, one of your closest allies, and someone you might have worshiped in you timeline, betrayed you for his own personal gain. After finding that out, I can understand why you would be weary.
That in mind, I think it is required to try to learn how to trust others again especially in such dangerous times.

I still see Laura as herself. I am not disappointed in her at all, In fact... I think I might be proud of her.
I don't think her goal was to be like you in every way Scarred as you think she was. It was that she wanted to have the courage to take certain required actions like you do. I think she was also heavily inspired to take her action by a certain someone else that isn't you or I. That said, don't be disappointed in Laura. Ok Scarred?

For the knife: Yeah. keep that knife safe until we know for sure what are goals will be, Laura. Personally I honestly don't think any of us voices, or Ana for that matter, will ever find peace because of us being linked to this cycle. It will be such a unique goal for us to stay and fix the cycle (in such a way that won't cause any apocalyptic events of course).
it will probably be more trickier than escaping like I wanted, or even more difficult than trying to stop the fog like Scarred wanted, but if we want to truly find peace at the end, we'll need to fix the cycle.

For the totem: I already had an idea from the start who to give the totem to. Specifically, I think it makes the most sense to give it to Triumphant. The reason is because Melkior has the other 3 totems, which I believe he said he was going to give them to the Tribunal's organization. I wonder if we contact Dervan, if he can put Triumphant on the line as well. we'll just have to ask him I guess.

Lastly... After all the trials you went through Laura, and becoming a newer person from it, would you like a codename/nickname? Dreamwalker and I talked about giving you a codename before, and I think now is a good time.

OH! But before we decide on the nicknames, or call Dervan with his card... Perhaps we should cremate Essence's corpse over there in some way? This idea came to mind because there have been times where people whom we think are dead tend to come back to life, like Flint for example. Disposing the body might prevent her from coming back by someone with nefarious intentions.

Well for us, it is more like, trouble gets into us...in Soviet Russia...heh heh I wouldn't want to be around myself and Scarred if I was someone else... no offense to you Scarred.
We will stay far away from you, the Branch Parasite, and Dreamwalker. I'll respect your wishes as It is for the best.

Make Absolution Prime really angry you say? something tells me that will inevitably probably happen even if we try our best to avoid that outcome. *remembers how She, Scarred, and Logan lied about not knowing Absolution Junior* The seeds for that step may have been planted. It depends on how well we tend to its growth. For now, we'll have to devise a defensive strategy before we get the opportunity to anger him

The goal was to prevent Laura from and Dreamwalker from dying. we accomplished that goal. so to answer your question: yes.

Now if you're asking whether we are happy or not, not really, because we were not able to save everyone's life in this battle (Felafaf, Flint, some of those ghosts, etc). Not only we couldn't save them, we were even forced to hurt them, making me wonder if we did more harm than good. I just wish I could have figured out some better way through that conflict.

But at this point, It's alright. I don't think we are expecting any kind of happiness from our journey anymore. But whatever.

Now then, This battle left things unanswered (such as what this battlefield really was, who those two invisible people were which were with Karikatura Fortune Ana (>>878836) and other sort of secrets we could have missed.)
That said, I would like to use the mirror curator totem to see what important hidden things we may have missed during the battle, please. Besides, we used the shrimp mother totem a couple of time, so it is time to give the mirror totem a shot in the spotlight.

oh, but first, we won't be able to bring Dervan's business card with us, so perhaps you should keep it for yourself. It's probably what Dervan would want anyway. *hands the business card over to the spirit*

The most one can do is continue to try to accomplish the goals she wanted to accomplish in her place. Continue where she left off and make her vision a reality in her memory.

I see. Well I can't stop you. But just know that as Dervan said, we didn't really mean what we said about you imitating human emotions. We only wanted you to get off that throne. Really, it was either us or Essence, a kill or be killed situation.

shut the hell up. You swore to kill off the spirit parasites and now you're bargaining with one?

Why the hell would anyone want to be human anyway?

Most humans i've seen around here are only in it for themselves. You took some random man's fingers, I don't even know how you lost them in the first place. I somehow get the feeling it was your own fault though.

So congratulations, you've failed at even trying not show how human you are by doing a human action.

You're angry? Good, so am I. I am angry that your sister was too dumb to know when to stop. I'm angry that we couldn't agree on anything. I'm angry that you're imitating her because she's all you've ever known. I'm angry that you're making the same mistakes she did and that I did. That blood leads to more blood, and murder leads to more murder.

And we're all to fucking human to stop.

he could put his feet on the chair so his legs are not dangling like that, then drop the grenade under the chair so that the chair works as a crude makeshift barrier between him and the explosion after he drops it. It most likely won't free him from all injuries, and the loud sound of the explosion might leave him deaf, but at least it might raise his chance of survival. Worth a shot.

Either that, since his legs are free, he could kind of sort of stand and bend forward a little, taking the chair up with him on his back and attempt to move towards you and kamikaze himself at you I guess (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEajhyHhqSU)

I think I'll let Scarred choose between those two options unless she has a better idea.

That said, I wonder if he has any family members or best friends who might want "justice" or "vengeance" against you for his kidnapping, torture, and possible death against your blinding anger?

Personally i prefer the first choice of using the chair as a barricade, but lets see what my partner says.

Yeah that would be the first one would be the best option.

Except

I have a suspicion this is all a bluff. The average grenade actually has less material than a standard stick of TNT, only about 2oz of material, but it is capable of more explosive power. Plus there’s the issue of shrapnel, and depending on what that chair is made of, the hostage will probably end up losing their hands and their legs if they don’t immediately die. But the part I can’t wrap my head around, is why is she sticking around? She’s already stated that the blast could kill her if he just drops it, and the confirmed kill radius for a grenade is 5 meters, and with the casualty radius being around 15 and she is more than close enough for it to do the job, she’s not getting away unscathed. Boy, wouldn’t it just be so ironic to start to run only to have your new fingers blown away by shrapnel?

So she is either bluffing to be cruel for whatever reason, I wouldn’t put it past her. Or, she really is stupid enough to have created a death trap for herself. I may not be good when it comes to social things, but on the topic of weapons and killing, I know more than my fair share.

So she can either realize that she’s made a very large error and put the pin back in the grenade, because once he lets go of the lock that will trigger the detonation, both of them have about 3 seconds.

interesting. In any case, I still choose option 1 because if it isn't a bluff, that would be the only action I can think of that can give him even a tiny chance of survival.
Also, the blast might not effect Spirit contaminator as I think she can regenerate. She did say she tried to tear off the spirit parasite part of her head, only for them to grow back.
But then again, she is weak against fire sooo...

I also wonder, didn't Essence say that Happy specifically told her not to kill anybody that isn't immortal or something? I wonder if that order applies to Blizulia as well. But it might not matter if Spirit Contaminator is suicidal, or if this man is immortal in some way to give her the okay to kill him. I think I remember explosions is one of the few ways to kill someone who became immortal through the ash tree?

ehhhh, I'm rambling and wasting time. You already know my choice, Blizulia.

So you’re not stupid, you’re just suicidal.

I have a question for you. What kind of place is the world that your sister told you about?
>>
No. 928900 ID: e51896

Hummm... No. I'm not going to give him advice anymore because I don't think he is going to listen to a single word we'll say... only because we are not directly communicating with him, but instead you are the one relaying the messages we say to him. You did mention that he is unaware of everything that is happening around him after all, so he might think you are still a cosplayer, but with mental health issues who hears dumb voices that don't exist in her head trying to talk to him (no offense to you or us), while he does not realize us voices do in fact exist trying to speak to him.

That said unless we can directly communicate with him, he isn't going to listen to a single advice we say if you're the one relaying what we say to him. Perhaps if we had my totem, I can speak directly to him, but I don't want to rely too much on magic anymore to solve all our problems. We've been getting by pretty far on our wits alone without using strange powers as a handicap, much like the long fight we just had

No, I think if we want to save him at this point, we'll have to take a different approach and attempt to instead persuade you to let him go instead through negotiating.

>>928887
Scarred, I'm not going to jump to conclusions on what she is (like being suicidal). nobody can really truly 100% comprehend the perspective of another person, really.

ok, Blizulia. I'll start by asking this: you say that you are doing these horrible things to this gardener to show you never want to be like us, nor want to be. But don't you find it a little ironic that with you relaying our advice we are trying to give to him, wouldn't that mean in a way, you are in a sense, posing as us giving advice to him as a voice like us? Just something for you to think about.

But that's beside the point though, what I really wanted to ask is, is this true anger you are feeling, or is the anger you are feeling actually hiding how you really feel with your anger acting as a mask.
I'm not accusing that you are imitating emotions again, I'm just saying that people, like Scarred (big example here) tend to hide their weaknesses, sadness, misery, or fear with intense anger to cope with the reality of the situation they are dealt with. a lot of times, we don't even realize we use anger as a mask to hide our emotions. I'm sure you sensed it when Scarred was screaming at you.
(Sidenote, letting out your true emotions instead of hiding it under a masked emotion is sometimes stronger)

I only ask if what you are feeling is true anger because if you were truly angry at us, I would think that you would of kidnapped someone who we actually knew first hand in this timeline, like a true friend or ally to torture, just to stick it to us as revenge and prove a point... but instead, you chose an innocent bystander who was just minding his own business, probably just trying to get by in the miserable hellhole our world has become. I wonder why you chose him?

Also, I'm not going to assume you are depressed, and hiding your depression with anger, but the way you are laying there, waiting for the bomb to explode in some fashion if he drops it... it reminds me of Ana when we were defusing a bomb, when she was laying right next to 1993 when she felt so defeated after boxhead, one of her only friends at the time, betrayed and left her... just awaiting for the bomb to explode and for the release of death. Seeing you do that makes me sad in some way. But.. I wonder, how will Happy feel if you die from this explosion? Doesn't he see you as one of his daughters? he just lost Essence, and now he's going to lose you too? I know you said you don't care about what happens to yourself, but doesn't Happy and your other friends care about you? More importantly, do you care about them?

Precisely why I asked her what the world is.

According to people like Essence, the world is a cruel place and you must be cruel to survive in it. In my experience the world, and by extension people, are like a sewer, what you put into it is exactly what you’ll get out of it.

It’s a humorous analogy, but it’s true. The world is only as cruel as you let it be, if you put cruelty into the world you will get it back in trumps. It’s why in the end I had more pity for Essence. She never saw her own logical fallacies, if you are cruel and viscous thst will just continue the cycle and the world can never heal because cruel people won’t let it heal. She claims we didn’t have what it took to survive in the world, and in a way she was true, but people don’t want to survive, people want to live. People who reject the mentality of kill or be killed are the stronger ones because they have the courage to reject the way the status quo.

So how strong are you?

Does he truly need help from us, or is that you need help from us? Because you are now looking desperate to see how we do stuff.

In any case, enough fooling around. I realize the gloves he is wearing looks to be too big for him and are pretty loose. Depending on how tight you tied the bomb on his glove on his arm, and if he is very careful, he should be able to sort of slip his hand out of the glove while holding the bomb and glove at the same time, and then just throw the bomb and glove away, at least as far as he is allowed to throw it with his wrist tied to the chair. His glove looks loose enough to slip his hand out of without using his other arm to remove it.

This again depends on how tight the bomb is tied to his glove and wrist to even remove his glove, and this also depends if he is willing to listen to a single word you say, Blizulia. Like I said, after the way you treated him, he will most likely not listen to any advice you give him... Unless you probably say something like "Oh crap, I hope you don't realize the gloves you are wearing are loose enough to remove without using your other arm for help, and just throw the glove with the bomb away from you. I totally forgot your gloves are too big for you to slip out of. Shit." or something similar.

And what made you think I'm being driven mad? I'm just throwing out ideas to see what works.

You honestly think so highly of us? I’ll chose to take all of that as a compliment.

And as for the whole thing about doing the impossible, we just do our best with what we’re given. Personally, I consider how we ended that fight a failure to do what I really wanted, which was keep her from Essence from hurting herself or others, but I didn’t want to kill her, the same way I don’t want you to die either.

With this scenario you’ve given us, you have all the power here and you know it. All we can do it talk with you, because your life does have value and if Essence was the sister you considered her as, she would... well honestly she would think it’s hilarious at first and then find some way stop you, probably while also calling you stupid for trying.

You’re the only one who can put the grenade away, I’m trying to convince you to stop this because that’s how we all win. In fact fuck it, I don’t care about winning what I care about is doing the right thing, because believe it or not Blizulia, I loved your sister, and I don’t want you to die too.

We’ll do what we can, but you’re the one who can fix this better than we can.

>>929022
That would work but aren’t his arms also tied to the chair? Actually if he can slip out of the glove on his right hand he can work on getting his other hand out and he can throw the other glove that has the grenade attached to it.

The tragedy of this whole situation is somewhat underwhelming given the almost comedic stance in which our hostage is left.

That grednade is taking quite a while to explode. Is it a dud?

Since his legs are free, perhaps he can walk out that exit behind him taking the chair with him on his back and find a solution to this dilemma outside?

And grenades won't explode until you let the trigger go, pulling the pin is like flipping the safety on a gun but instead of keeping the trigger from being pulled the pin keeps it in place from setting off the detonation. if he lets it go, then comes the ka-boom.
