Ann: "Alright, I've got the list of things I've already tried. Logan, you have the voices right?"

Logan nods his head.

Ann "Alright, take this. Whatever they suggest, check it on the list."

Ann hands the paper over to Logan.

>>725900
>Start off by pressing plants and meat onto the pages. Maybe it's a bestiary scrapbook?

Pressing things between the pages. We've tried leaves, people, meat, other books, CDs, floppy disks, water, and a bunch of other stuff. Basically, it's unlikely that this is the solution. Unless it involves pressing things that we haven't found yet.

>>725947
>Has Gina tried burning your book using her fire?

Yes. It didn't work.

>>725948
>Something I wanted to try: Gina or Logan, take the book and pen into another room, and write/draw something in it. Ann waits for a bit, maybe thirty seconds? Then recalls/banishes&Summons the book again back to herself. Then Ann opens it and sees if the writing/drawing persists. My hope is that even if we don't figure out it's power, we can use it to aid scouting operations, especially if banishing/summoning it plays with the ink vanishing duration.

Don't worry, we've tried that one. The words do stay, but only for the one minute time frame. I like your plan for using the book for scouting. I'll bring this up with Ann later.

>>725943
>Try writing things that sound or look like spells. Random symbols or words. Maybe it's a magic book.

That's not a great idea. Ann's tried it a bit though. She's drawn random magical symbols and stuff all over in her book. We're working under the assumption that the solution isn't a random symbol. Without a reason to write it, we probably won't be trying any symbols.

Gina "Alright, get your book ready Ann. If the voices don't have anything new to add, then it's time for you to try our ideas."

Hrrm...
1 minute to write/draw...I wonder if there's something to that? Like if you're supposed to use that somehow to draw specific things with it or something?
Okay I've an idea, but uhh...
Well, let's try this:
Khorne
Blood for the blood God
Skulls for the Skull throne
...As you can probably guess, it's not the safest idea I could have had...

>>726138
try drawing dicks in it or eating the pages

Ultraviolet spectrum doesn't work, so how about SOUND? Use sound waves and see if the pages react in morse code.

With the right origami, you might be able to turn the book into a slicing weapon.

>>726142
Okay, let's not summon the blood God? I don't think these kids are adequately equipped to deal with a God of chaos.

Hmm. Here's an idea! Why not try writing something we say down in the book? Like:

"Hello, we are a collective of voices and we want to guide these three on their journey."

>>726142
Heresy! Stop him before he summons a Bloodthrister

>>726138
I'm assuming you already tried writing your name? You should also search your family history for someone with a similar power; maybe you can learn from them!

>>726138
Has she tried drawing or placing maps into the book? Like starting off with a compass rose.

If it disappears from its place in the world when it gets summoned to her, it would make a perfect trigger for traps you set. As an example, use the book to prop up a boulder and poof it away to trigger it.

It cant be cut through, right? Does it transfer force as an object should? (Smacking one side with a hammer, does the force carry through to the other side.)
Either way it would work well as a bit of armor in pocket or bag. (If it cannot be destroyed)

Can the pages be folded? Does the book float or sink when it's placed in water?

A couple others. Can you glue or tape anything to the outside of the book? Would make it easier to make it into a shield. What happens when fluid is poured on it? Does it just sit on top, get absorbed by the pages?

...Something just struck me.
Can you remove pages from the book? And once removed, do they retain their invulnerability? And lastly...Do the removed pages remain if the book is desummoned?
What I might be getting at here is origami invulnerable armor. And not just for Ann, for teh whole group...Actually, we might even be able to make earplugs/earmuffs to protect the group's hearing if things need to get LOUD!

I'm not going to do this end of day message anymore unless I have something to say. For example: I've worked out an update schedule. I'll update once or twice every day except for Sundays and Saturdays. On Saturdays, I'll update somewhere between two and four times.

Things can be stuck to the outside, but they don't teleport with the book; and fluid will just form a puddle on top of the book. The pages won't absorb it.

This is a nice idea, but it won't work. The pages won't come out of the book. Hence why we referred to its whole as, indestructible.

Ann "So, what do you want to try first?"

Gina "Alright, Logan has a Dangers and Dungeons player's manual. It has a list of spells in it. I'm thinking that we should try to scribe some of them into your book."

Ann "Alright, it's worth a shot. Let's do it."

> Stuck items will not teleport
This could make a good detonator. You have the ability to summon and disband an indestructible rock. This has a few uses:

1. Catapult Remote Trigger: Glue catapult trigger hinges to book. Disband to fire.
2. Boulder Trap: Place book over a comically large boulder. Fire when ready.
3. Breach Patch: Place book over hull breach. Easy.
4. Cooking utensil: Place tomato firmly between pages. Stomp. Place book in pot and disband.
5. Sample holder: In the event that you need to carry a dangerous object just place it in the book. The book won't be contaminated after you disband it.

Try giving the book a title. Write on the front or in the middle of the very first page something like The Book of Spells.

Sorry, the cover can't be written on. It's been tried according to the list.

Gina "There are a lot of spells in this book. Pick out one that you want to use."

Ann "Well, I don't want one that's too destructive; but it needs to be flashy enough to observe."

Gina "What about 'Prestidigitation'? It's literally just a small cool looking effect."

Ann "Perfect! So, what all should I write down? There's a lot of data here."

Gina "Hmm, definitely leave out spell slots."

Ann "I probably won't need the class restrictions."

Gina "Why not just write the title and effect. If that doesn't work, add the components."

Ann "Sounds like a plan."

Gina "That's probably for the best. The original is a bit long.:

Ann "So, do I just say the word? Hold the book up, and shout it?"

Gina "Yep, give it a try."

Alright here is an easy one we can use this on, plus it might make for a cool effect. Grab a marker and use prestidigitation to change the color of the ink.

I got to say that that post/update does not seem well thought out at all if it is not meant to be quickly followed by another. In the future please try to put like '1/3' or 'cut-scene', or something when you don't want us to suggest. This is just... annoying done this way.

Nothing changed about the pokeball (Which was definitely there the whole time, and not just quickly moved because the author forgot to add a focus point).

Ann "Eh, it was worth a try."

Gina "Dang, I really thought that that one would have worked."

Ann "Don't sweat it, I kind of expected this result."

Gina "Well, let's try something else then."

Ann "Alright, let's"

We're probably going to end up doing this for a while. So, while they test out various ideas, is there anything I could tell you guys?

Can you explain how Crystal3Ds work?

a couple of things that come to mind:
some D&D spells require spell components...Some of which are hard to get (ruby dust, etc, etc.) But more problematic are the somatic (gestures), seeing as I don't recall descriptions of those gestures...
But as for magic ideas...
we have limited information on the other world/tiers right?
Is it known what to expect from those tiers, like are htere magical monsters or things that just won't work here that would work there?
It might be that book isn't really meant to work with anything here, or it's like blue mages from final fantasy-you gotta tank a hit from specific powers to learn them...
Unfortunately, I still don't have any ideas I'm any more sure of than you guys would be soo...
How good's your throwing arm Ann? If you're a good shot-and assuming you smacking things with the book acts predicably (you could beat someone with it, for example) You might be able to just use it as unlimited throwing objects, albiet with a limit of one thrown book at a time...

>>727225
have someone write in the book without you looking and see if it can put notes into your head.

another possibility is that we ARE the book's power somehow.

and just on the off chance, write/say "hey book could you please tell us how you work?"

Have you tried writing changes to the world inside the book? Like "the pokeball is now blue"?

>>727233
If it's a verbal/somatic thing, the only spell I know off the top of my head is true strike. It is literally just point at the creature you want to target. No spoken parts. It lets you get into something's mind well enough to gauge where they are thinking of moving for the next few seconds.

>Can you explain how Crystal3Ds work?

Sure, I know plenty about that system. It's one of the most popular portable gaming systems currently being produced. I've looked into the technical details of it before. I'll assume that your interested in the 3d aspect, as that's what's most unique about this system. The screen uses a filter known as a parallax barrier. It projects one image to the right, and one to the left. The left and right image take up alternating vertical columns of pixels; so when they run through the parallax barrier, it causes the 3d effect. This all happens on a very minuscule level. It's a really fascinating design.

I've considered toying around with the design, maybe seeing where it could be improved. I haven't gotten around to it yet, as I've been working on other stuff.

Hmm so is tinkering with electronics a hobby of yours Logan? That actually might be a fairly useful skill on your quest, like hacking and riging up machines.

How are they doing over there by the way, any headway found?

Hmm, what about writing stuff on both the left and right pages?

>Parallax
Yeah, it's real neat to not have to use a separate worn filter to get that 3d effect. Only issue is that it tends to cut screen resolution a decent bit.

Do you have a portable solar panel/handcrank for any electronics you're bringing with you? If not, you better charge before heading off. No clue how long the trip will take. What other survival gear are you taking with you? Speaking of, I remember Ann mentioning a weapon you were bringing over. Can you give us some deets?

Yeah, you're right about the resolution problem. It's one of the disadvantages to the 3d gimmick.

I have a few solar batteries that I'll be bringing along with me. They charge quickly, and can hold power well. The only downside is that they're bulky. I can live with that.

Ann's weapon is pretty cool. I designed it myself with her in mind. Actually, now would be a pretty good time to show it off.

Logan (Signing Words) "Gina, I'm going to show Ann her weapon."

Gina "Gotcha. Hey Ann, let's stop for a minute. Logan wants to show you your new weapon."

Ann "Great. I'm up for just about anything. I'm sure that whatever you've made will be wonderful."

Ann "It's... A gun?"

Gina "Whoa! You've been designing a firearm? I'm pretty sure that that's illegal."

Logan hands the weapon off to Ann. She cautiously takes it.

Ann "Is this actually a revolver, or does it just look like one."

Logan "It's a bit more complex than that. I designed it to have far less problems then a normal revolver. Normal revolvers have stability issues, and commonly malfunction. I messed with the firing mechanisms and barrel to lower the chances of misfires. I mean, I already had to change the firing mechanism for the specialty ammo I wanted to implement. There were too many small moving parts at the start, which allowed for too many possible problems; so I replaced the traditional method with a much more modern method. I still kept the look of a revolver, as I remember you saying that you like them. The actual components resemble an automatic pistol far more than a revolver. It should feel a lot nicer that way. You wouldn't want to use a revolver without experience, it's much more difficult to handle. All of the modifications I've made should make firing it feel great.

Gina "Logan-"

Logan "The actual ammunition is quite fascinating. I realized that if I gave you nothing but standard bullets, then this would only be helpful in scenarios where you're shooting to kill. To increase the versatility, I came up with plenty of alternate types of projectiles.

Gina "Logan-"

Logan "The barrel can hold six different type of ammunition at once, so you could plan around whatever situation we're in. There are so many great strategic opportuniti-"

Gina "LOGAN!"

Add weapon-smithing to Logan's skill set. Just be careful with it bud, you have to respect a weapon otherwise bad things happen to good people. But while on the topic of arming, what have Ann and Gina decided to use as a weapon besides their powers?

@#$%ing awesome. Did you design it with a concealment method so you can smuggle it across the boarder? The guards at the gate probably won't like kids entering, let alone kids with guns.

Also, we need more guns.

While awesome that you apparently can make guns being a thing...
Gina seems to have an issue with this. I'm guessing she's disturbed about the whole gun thing, but let's see what she has to say before we get carried away with all the fun tricks you built into that thing.

Oh, right. We're (usually) deaf on these connections. You weren't thinking LOUD so your mind text wasn't on caps lock.

More guns.

That's not fair, how come we can tell when Gina is shouting, but not when Logan is loud?

Hmm, actually Logan, Gina may have just given me an idea about your power! You say you can't control it very well but I think I have an idea as to how you can gain a much better control over it! It's clear that whenever you are excited your volume level rises, if you were calm on the other hand it would be very quiet or normal decibel levels. So in a combat situation where your very survival is at stake... Well.. You ever play the game Skyrim?

Well, technically it could have been something like that. I'm only assuming that his mouth was damaged by his power. It makes so much sense though. I can't think of a better explanation. That's why he doesn't speak often. That's why he has scars. They were caused by doctors stitching his mouth together. I think. I'll confront him about it sometime, but gently. I don't want to upset him, just get some answers.

Anyways, I should focus on this revolver he just gave me. It looks pretty cool. Honestly, this makes way more sense than if he gave me a sword or something. I've never wielded a sword, there's no way I'd be able to handle one competently. A gun though, that's within reason. I just need to get used to aiming this thing, and I'll be good to go. Also, I think he said something about specialty ammo? What was that about?

Ann "Hey Logan, what were you saying about specialty ammo before?"

Logan opens his mouth briefly, closes it, and then begins to sign words towards Gina. I guess it figures that he wouldn't want to speak again.

Gina "Uh, he says that he designed cartridges that fire things other than bullets. And, wait, repeat that... Okay, He'll write you a list of all the ones he's made."

DON'T POINT IT AT ANYONE EVEN WHEN IT'S UNLOADED, but when you do, shoot to kill.

Don't worry, I understand the dangers of firearms.


Logan hands me the list of ammunition types.

Fire
Shock
Oil
Blunt
Piercing
Water
Blank
Gas
Sleep
Gust


Ann "Hmm, alright. I understand most of these. The three that are stumping me are blunt, piercing, sleep, and gust. Mind explaining those a bit further?"

Logan waves his arms around. You understand a few simple words, but can't grasp the general statement.

Gina "Blunt shots fire out larger slower pellets. They're non-lethal, but could easily bruise. If it hits a vital point, it could possibly break a bone or hurt an organ."

Gina "Piercing shots are regular bullets. They easily puncture flesh and organs. They'd likely get stuck in bone. These shots are incredibly lethal, and should be handled with extreme caution."

Ann "Why aren't they just called bullets?"

Gina (Totally ignoring Logan) "Because piercing shot sounds way cooler than bullet."

Ann "That's true."

Gina "Alright, sleep shots. It shoots a small canister that releases an incapacitating agent. A.k.a, sleeping gas. Now, the size of the canister limits the amount that it can hold. Each one can only fill a space of fifteen cubic meters. It would take about three of them to fill an average bedroom. The gas releases at a rate of about- No, Logan, you're getting too technical. Stick to the big picture."

Gina "Alright, gust shots are really simple. Instead of a bullet, it fires a great amount of air. You have to be careful with this one, as whatever hand you hold the gun with will receive a great deal of force. Logan recommends using two hands for this type. It has about... Logan she won't understand how powerful that is... Well then make an analogy or something. Yeah, that's perfect. It's strong enough to push a two-hundred pound man back fifty meters in five seconds."

Ann "That sounds strong. Is it lethal?"

Gina "Nope, not concentrated enough to be. Unless you held the gun right up against something. In that scenario, you might kill someone."

Ann "Alright, I think that I understand."

Any questions from the voices?

>>728489
if we point the gust round at the ground can we use it for a doublejump

>>728490
Seconding this question

Double jumping, or more accurately, multi-jumping...It seems plausible, but very risky and difficult to pull off properly, since you'd not be say, having temporary platforms to jump off of, but more just kinda blasting yourself in various directions via explosive shockwave...
Actually, given the potential to kill if done too close to the target, that might be what happens. Too much force and you just ragdoll yourself.

>if we point the gust round at the ground can we use it for a doublejump

Interesting question.

Ann "Alright, question from the voices. If I were to point it downwards in the air, could I potentially preform a double jump?"

Logan begins to make motions, but stops. He ponders something, and then begins to speak.

Logan "It... Is potentially plausible. I wouldn't recommend it. It would be easy to launch yourself in the wrong direction. Also, the knock-back could mess up your arm. It would be safer, and more accurate to use it at the start of your jump. It would allow for better control that way."

Ann "That makes sense. Thank you."

The man has spoken.

Nice. So, uh
what now?
Adventure start?

Also of note, get your ass some earplugs, both for the gun, and for your friend's power, just in case. Also, Always hold it with both hands whenever possible (the gun I mean) AT very least until you get used to the kick It gives.

>The three that are stumping me are blunt, piercing, sleep, and gust.
Okay, this is sort of late, but can Ann count? Should we be concerned?

Yeah, I realized my mistake there. I had only thought of the first three, but I decided to ask about gust halfway through the sentence. It was a simple slip up.

*SLAM*

That sounded like the front door. That can only mean one thing.

Dad "Ann, I'm home. Are you and your friends here?"

Yep. Dad's home.

Ann "Yes, we're in the living room."

You didn't tell him, did you?

Maybe put the gun somewhere not immediately obvious.

Like back in Logan's pants. No one would think to look there!

Does your dad know about the journey you are about to take, or the fact you have a firearm in the house?

>Does your dad know about the journey you are about to take, or the fact you have a firearm in the house?

Of course I told my dad about our quest. I can't just disappear for up to a year without telling him. That would be rude, and almost impossible. I told you before, my dad has the ability to see through lies. If I tried to withhold information from him, he'd know. Admittedly, I might be overestimating his power. I have a very honest relationship with my father, so I rarely fib around him. The gun might surprise him a bit, but I don't think he'll object to it.

Mr. Pepper "Hey there kids. How are you all doing?"

Gina "We're fine Mr. P. Just getting ourselves ready to head out."

Ann "Yep. We've played some games, tested out a few more ideas regarding my power, and now I have a gun."

I hold the revolver up so that he can see it. I'm extremely careful not to point it at anyone, or touch the trigger.

Mr. Pepper "Where did you get a revolver? Oh! Wait, is that the weapon Logan was making for you?"

Ann "Right on the money."

Mr. Pepper "As always."

Ann "What are you talking about? You're right about random things maybe five percent of the time."

Mr. Pepper "I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing but fact leaves my mouth."

Ann "All lies. You tell horrible lies."

Mr. Pepper "Perish the thought."

Ann "Not until you discard your facade of honesty."

Mr. Pepper "Never! My fibs shall remain in the shadows for eternity."

Ann "Aha! So you admit that you have fibs?"

Mr. Pepper "Ack! I've found myself tangled in my own words. You've caught me."

Ann "Is it a surprise? Liars like you shall always be brought to justice."

Mr. Pepper "Nooooooooooo."

Seriously? Sargent Pepper?

At this rate, I'm even more worried about what your mom is like.

Ask your dad if he has recommended supplies or survival tips. You should also go to the store and buy survival gear while you still can.

Cute. So any idea when you want to hit the road? Oh real quick though did you have any ideas about your book? I'm sure we can experiment on the road of course.

Before you leave, bring a lighter. Or multiple lighters. Fire is always useful.

Mr. Pepper "Indeed. Do you have everything you'll need for your trip?"

Don't worry, I have one in my bag.

I already have. My bag is packed, and ready to go.

Ann "Yeah, I have everything I need."

Mr. Pepper "I don't see your bag anywhere. Is it still in your room?"

Ann "No, Logan has it."

Mr. Pepper "..."

Mr. Pepper "Please elaborate."

Ann "All of our stuff is in Logan's bedroom. We're going to collect it when we reach the gate."

Mr. Pepper "Is this something you can demonstrate quickly?"

Gina "No problem, right Logan."

Logan nods his head

Logan reaches deep into his pocket, and pulls out a briefcase.

Logan "My pocket has a portal woven into it."

Mr. Pepper "A pocket portal... Did Franklin help you out with that?"

Gina "Yeah, he asked my dad for help. Logan ran a bunch of tests on his portals until you figured out how to replicate them."

Logan "I managed to make a stable connection between two points. It was... tough."

Let me fill you guys in. Gina's dad has the power to open up holes in space. I don't know exactly how it works, but its basically a portal. He works as a fireman, and specializes in rescue. He has one of the most useful powers that I've ever seen.

Logan showed me his replication of Mr. Cortez's power a few months ago. It involves two stable creation fields to give it form, some excessive limiters to keep it constrained, a few computer chips running data through each field to establish a connection, and a lot of energy. His portable portal doesn't use as much, as it's smaller. The other one is in his room. It is hooked up to a generator. All of our stuff is laying in his room at the moment. We'll take it out before we head to the next tier.

Mr. Pepper "Just out of curiosity, would you be able to use that to return to Earth if you felt like it?"

Logan "I don't plan on attempting that. The excessive distance increases the chance of failure between the two gates. If anything went through when the connection was unstable, they could end up anywhere in-between the two points. Plus, without Mr. Cortez on standby, there are greater chances of the whole thing destabilizing."

Gina "Yeah, that's not a huge issue right now; as we could call dad if anything came up. Are phones won't work over there though, so it wouldn't be possible."

Mr. Pepper "Ah, I see."

It seems like everyone's ready to head out. Anything you guys want to say or do before we leave?

Yes. Leave. Before your fear glues you to the couch.

If you do the song, I will turn up the yapping.

Time to roll out!

>>729420
Nothin' I can think of. Let's rock n' roll!

>Time to roll out!

Ann "Alright, are you guys ready to go?"

Gina "Yeah. We should probably start walking. It'll be getting dark soon."

Mr. Pepper "Why don't I just drive you over?"

Ann "Oh, you don't have to do that dad. It's not far away."

Mr. Pepper "I insist. It'll be much faster."

Ann "Well, okay then. Let's go."

Everyone gets into dad's car. He begins driving down the city road. There were many empty houses along the way. Most people wanted to get away from the portal as fast as possible. My dad was one of the few who stayed. The neighborhood is quiet, at the expense of being labeled a ghost town.

Has any megacorporation purchased the land surrounding the portal?

How about street hoodlums? Any large-scale graffiti?

I spy with my little eye, etc.

To my knowledge, most of these houses have no owners. I don't think that any corporations have purchased them, and I don't know why they would. As for graffiti, there definitely is a decent amount. It's not too bad in terms of content, but it definitely depreciates the value of this area's houses.

The car comes to a stop. The gate is in sight. We all exit the vehicle.

Ann "Thanks for the ride dad."

Mr. Pepper "No problemo kid."

My dad pulls me into a hug.

Mr. Pepper "Hey, promise me you'll stay safe out there?"

Ann "Yeah dad, don't worry."

Mr. Pepper "You'd better. Seriously, when all of this is done, I expect you to come home."

Ann "You know I will."

Mr. Pepper "We'll celebrate. I'll bring home some nice food. We can play games together. I'll invite your friends' parents over to join us-"

Ann "Dad, will... Are you going to be okay?"

He's silent for a moment. He tightens his grip around me. Quietly, he speaks.

Mr. Pepper "...Please come back."

Ann "I will... I promise."

D'aaawwwwww. Alright guys, LETS DO THIS THING!

D'aaawwwwww. Alright guys, LETS DO THIS THING!

Dad let's go of me, and grabs something from the car. He extends a letter in my direction.

Mr. Pepper "Here, this is for you."

I take it from his hand, and begin to open it.

Mr. Pepper "Ah, don't open it yet. Save it for a bad day. It's supposed to be a pick-me-up. A little motivation."

Ann "Thanks dad."

We share one more brief hug. Then, he steps inside his car and drives away.

Look at portal <Enter>

Alright. Deep breath, no looking back, no second thoughts.

Let's rock this thing. Round 1, here we go.

Do a flying cartwheel into that shit, get this on the road already!

We get our bags from Logan, and stare at the portal.

Gina "So, it's time to head out I guess."

Ann "Yep."

We all stand there in silence for a minute. The portal produces a somewhat quiet ambience.

Ann "Do you guys think we can handle whatever's on the other side of this gate will throw at us?"

Logan shrugs his shoulders.

Logan "Maybe?"

Gina "Eh, look at it like this. In a years time, we're all dead. If we don't act now, then this is a fact. Maybe we specifically won't be able to stop the witch, but we have to try don't we? We have to give it our best shot before we can resign to an inevitable fate. Even if we get ourselves killed just by going through this thing; wouldn't it be better dying for a cause, rather than with our spirits broken next year?"

Ann "Yeah, you're right Gina. We can't just do nothing."

Logan "This gate might kill us, but it could just as easily not do that. Who's to say?"

Gina "Yeah, that's almost uplifting. Maybe death, but maybe not. Are you guys ready?"

Ann "Yeah. I am."

Logan nods his head.
