"...That was probably not a good idea." Aidan said as he stood up, pondering on the meaning of the plaque.

How could anything break, other than the person's body when the velocity was subject to the mass of the item and perhaps, whatever was inside it.

"It couldn't have meant a crippling blow, nothing around here is to ambush us...

"But then, the Reaper watches over all."

Drawing his sword and bow, he approached the crystal and tried to activate it. It wasn't there before, and...

There was something strange in the distance. Probably an anomaly due to the weather, but he wouldn't approach it unless any ranged ammunition was found.

Or...until after the crystal was visited.

[Dwarmin]

Sadie waited patiently for her turn.

Then she remembered how brittle she was.

Action: Take my turn being launched. Try to ~spread my wings and flyyyy~

[Evergod41]

"For such technological hints of this world, you would think they could have developed a sort of levitation device... But I guess a Fist-apult works just as well, just hope it balances force with weight... I might break more things than a few items..."

Cora awaits her turn for ascension, hoping for the best.

[Burkhart]

REGIS thought for a moment about what mysteries the pedestal held, but the group would undoubtedly be returning to this cavernous dungeon in the future. It was something that could be put off for a later date. After many people had been launched out, REGIS stepped on the panel as well. After landing, he let Queen out of his chest, hopefully unharmed.

[Fortis]

"That's probably gonna leave a mark. Hope he has the sense to get out of the way." Bowser said, watching Aidan getting launched by the platform. When it was his turn, he got on, pulling into his shell to try and mitigate the impact.

[Tiruin]

It was all a deception.                                          A trap.
                                                 A ploy,
Maybe     maybe                     there is no hope           
 We're all being watched.                                         all along
                                                    The Reaper was there
Does he stand for                           
                             ^Death?                            The Grim Chest stands for the fallen
                         but the living
And death.   This is a trial
                trial
                           trial
    A test, a notion of our lives between conscience and un-conscience
                               are they all gone?
Kaina.      Seuche                                       All those who have died
                               were saved

I muse on the ideas granted to me. Intangible words connected by the flow of reason and understanding;  philosophical insight and factual evidence. I stare at the grass beneath my feet, idle and unmoving without the stimulus of the breeze, somehow thriving in this strange atmosphere.
Our corporeal existence, a defiance of time and space. No natural law explains our presence, yet we exist. What is our enemy, if not that which knows all? The Reaper - the omen of the hereafter, the harbinger of nothingness
                                    our thoughts are real
                     Or perhaps                                only but a guise
                                          a fragment of our imagination
Yet I am bound by time and the limitations of the body. I look back to see my compatriots, surviving as if they were still rendered biological - food and water, the necessities of life. I can feel my essence trickle away with each step I take. I see a red crystal, a teller of future incidents. Does it know of what is our future, or a preset that we could change?

I shake my head to clear my mind, an act which only deepens my memoir. I avert my gaze from the void around me and focus on those I cannot see. The Shogun. The honored. The monsters. Who are we in this land, and who are those that exist here? Only a few I have known, and yet I feel as if I had lived a lifetime with them.

I am only one of the millions of heroes who have traversed this plane. Only a single piece of a puzzle that lies incomplete.

Yet I am different.


I have met those who believe
I have seen the fire in their eyes
I have power I have strength



I am dead and yet still alive





I am Aidan Faolán
I am the scribe
I am not bound by this world
I am not controlled by any other I am not a pawn to be toyed with
I am me
I will persevere
I will survive

[Dwarmin]

((That was something beautiful, Tiruin. You know what it means to me right now.))

Turn 13, Day 2, ???




Everyone decides to take the punch road out of the Dungeon.



They all smash against the ground in the same painful way, leaving them all but broken. They all have 1 HP left.



They slowly get up and dust themselves off, as almost all the Uniqs spawn out of the Cube or their respective machinery to greet them.

: "It's alright you guys, take a break and try to take on the dungeon when you are a little tougher!"

: "It's always a bummer to lose, but learn from it, plan for it, and GET THROUGH IT! OH YEAH!! Also, I couldn't really finish the house, as you took the power source with you into the dungeon!"

: "P-please... Don't hate yourself for giving up... You chose life..."

: "WHY DID YOU GIVE UP, YOU PANSIES!? Hah! Just kidding, im happy that you chose wisely!"

: "We are also happy that you are not hurt."

: "NIKOLAISUN!! QUEENSUN! SPIKUN! HAHLP, SOMEBODIES HAHLPS!!"

Everyone directs their attention at the Golem... Which now seems way too small?



: "REGGIE CANNOTS FINDS HIS BODY PARTUNS!!"



As the other heroes try looking for the pieces of REGIS, Aidan approaches the broken crystal, which hastily springs to life at his presence:

"TIME STAMP S004D999T22C-01536: I don-t dont-dont know-know... What what what ha-hw-hwha-hw. Reapers should-should-eat bacon! It is very nutritious!- not be ableblebleblebleblebleblebleble-Lift begins on the third wall- to know what the-SHIISHIISHIISHIISHIII- the the-the-the secrets-castle should be-one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That's the days we have. Unless you have the Clock- it's hidden under the-the-the Gah, writing these things is HARD!! DUNES. THE DUNES."

Aidan looked a little confused, and besides approaching it, he really didn't know how one should activate it.

Okay that should be the last transitional update. I am sorry that it took so long. I have left a present on the island for you to compensate.

[Burkhart]

Terrible thoughts rushed through the now-tiny construct's mind. He could feel his body parts, meaning they were nearby and safe, but they weren't attached! REGIS scrambled around in a panic, waving his hands about.

"NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD! REGGIE NEEDUNS A BODY! AAAAAHHHHHH!"

[Dwarmin]

Sadie picked up the panicking Regis and rocked him in her arms, singing a Merchildren song she remembered from her childhood....

"♫...Hush little Regis, I'll give you a hug, Sadies gonna find you a Green Sea Slug...♫

Green Sea Slugs tasted the best!

Action: Comfort Baby-Regis with happy singing, and look for his missing parts afterwards

The words.                         meaning             what did they say                                                 prophecy Reaper           Wall?                      Dunes         Third            dunes?                 Bridge! Bacon.

Reapers       They are many we are few                 they know               Castle         watching over us                  warning

Aidan sighed as his thoughts ran amok, forming cognizant patterns that related to what he knew. Perhaps this was a message of forewarning? The bridge looked like a passage. The Crystal was right next to it...but that meant going into a sandy region? The Dunes...it said. And somehow the Reaper- No, Reapers knew.

This place had secrets. Yes, secrets. There was something about a castle. The insufferable laughter. The code of 'S004D999T22C-01536'...

Perhaps Cube knew something. It's memory was still missing.

...

What was Bacon.

"Hey everyone," Aidan said as he returned to the rest. "Another time crystal from our future friends. Speaking about perhaps the lost memory core of Cube. Saying something about a..."

They're watching.
But that must mean they already heard the crystal.
Must keep subtle.

"Err...Cube, can you speak in code? Can anyone tell cube what I heard?" He pointed up. "There's a bad omen in the sky."

Ask ye Cube!

[Dermonster]

"Phahaha look at the little guy! Man o man, ground hit you hard dinnit?" Dell chuckled to himself, then grimaced as he felt a wave of dizziness. "I don't suppose you can still do those healing punches, Regis? I'm a bit woozy."

"MAYBE REGGIE COULD HELPUN... IF I HAD MY ARMS! FIND REGGIE'S BODY, AND I PROMISEUN, HEALUNS FOR EVERYONES!"

"Little Reggie is so cute!" Sadie said, tickling his 'chin'.
