Create giant ass crystal; that will contains and regulate all psionic and life energies of the universe.

(Just in case, also can we stop destroying stuff until the universe actually has something in it)

Build a giant unbreakable border around everyone else and the regon of space surrounding them, then create the first particle - a banana shaped like The Grinch.

(Listen, a giant crystal to regulate stuff? Boring. We need to carve out our niches then go to war with each other.)

Something came through the Void. Something from the outside. It smiled at this world, so full of possibilty and hope. It watched the other gods war from a vast cloud of dust and debris that it had made and laughed.

The BIG BANG.
Cause it.
Matter should precipitate shortly, followed by the first clouds of gas resembling proto-galaxies.


All is still in the void. All has been still since time before time. The sphere of raw power spins gently, nebulous presences float in the utter nothingness. This continues for an indefinite amount of time, as time does not exist yet. Suddenly, the peaceful calm is shattered in a flurry of activity! One of the presences rushes towards the sphere of raw power and attempts to destabilize it! The sphere of raw power [4] partially destabilizes! About [5] 50kilo☼ is detached from the sphere and transformed into Hydrogen! Substance Created: Hydrogen. Celestial Body Created: Cloud of Hydrogen. The huge cloud of gas begins to rush away from the sphere of raw power while seemingly being drawn towards it at the same time! The sphere of raw power now appears to contain 950 kilo☼. It also appears to be moving extremely rapidly. Good thing there's no such thing as distance or time yet.   

Form a red planet. Nevermind that it has nowhere to exist yet, it can exist in the voider-than-void for a time.

Another of the presences, seeing the actions of the first, seizes some of the raw power for itself, trying to shape it to some unknowable purpose. It tries to draw some raw power from the destabilized sphere [4+1(sphere partially unstable)] and manages to acquire 50 kilo☼. It then [5] attempts to shape it into a sphere made of Red. Unfortunately, what with the laws of the universe being somewhat in a state of flux, the attempt is largely unsuccessful. Struggle though it might, all that is created is an enormous Cube made of Blue. Substance Created:Blue. Celestial Body Created: Blue Cube. The sphere of raw power has been reduced to 900 kilo☼. The sphere [11] regains some of its past stability.

Create giant ass crystal; that will contains and regulate all psionic and life energies of the universe.

One of the presences, encouraged by the the actions of the others, seizes some raw power for itself and attempts to make something. About [11] 110 kilo☼ is seized form the sphere, [4] rendering it increasingly unstable! Sphere instability +2! The sphere of raw power has been reduced to 790 kilo☼. The presence is filled with raw power and begins to create [10], shaping the raw power in equal parts into a Giant Crystal, the Psionic force and the Life force! Celestial Body Created: Crystal of Life and Psion. Force Created: Psionic. Force Created:Life. As the raw power finishes taking on these new forms the presences tries to mold the Crystal of Life and Psion into regulating the forces of Life and Psion, [6] being partially successful. A portion of the two forces is drawn into a dynamic equilibrium with the crystal, but a large portion flies away in all directions, permeating all creation, such as it is. This presence has gained Sphere:Life Energy: +1 to actions involving life energy, Sphere:Psion Energy: +1 to actions involving Psion Energy.     

^BREAK GIANT ASS CRYSTAL.
CREATE PLANET OF MADNESS, WITH A SLADE THRONE TO FIT ME; THE MAD GOD OF THIS CHURNING VOID.
Create giant ass crystal; that will contains and regulate all psionic and life energies of the universe.
REBREAK THAT BITCH. STAB JAASS TO DEATH WITH TE SHARDS.
CREATE BODY FOR JAASS. CREATE VIOLENCE. KILL JAASS. INVENT CORN POPS AND MILK FOR PART OF A COMPLETE BREAKFAST.

One of the presences seems quite agitated, being torn between seizing and shaping raw power for itself and interfering with the Crystal Creating presence. It starts by trying to create something like the others, seizing [9+2=11] 110 kilo☼ and reducing the sphere of raw power to 680 kilo☼. The sphere of raw power is now extremely unstable (+3). It begins to create a sphere of material [7] following no repeatable pattern, marked by only one regular feature, a throne made of an utterly black, superdense substance. Substance Created: Madness. Substance Created: Slade. Celestial Body Created: Planet of Madness. This presence has gained Sphere:Madness: +1 to actions involving Madness(substance). Then it notices the the Crystal of Life and Psion. Driven by some as yet unknown and unknowable instinct it seeks to destroy this object and its creator. It first strikes at the crystal, [6] braking off a large shard containing 6 kilo☼. Artifact Created: Shard of Life and Psion. It seizes the shard and tries to stab at the Crystal Creating presence [autofail] but the attack passes right through! Clearly understanding the problem, the Madness presence seizes yet more raw power, [11+3=14] seizing 140 kilo☼, causing the sphere of raw power to explode and spread in all directions! Force Created: Diffuse Raw Power. Ignoring the total destruction of the last vestiges of the primordial universe, the presence [8] shapes some of the energy it seized into a new concept. Concept Created: Violence. However, about 20 kilo☼ of the 70 used gets away and dissipates into the universe. The presence then uses the remaining 70 kilo☼ to create a body for the Crystal Creating presence [7], making a form containing roughly twice as much raw power as the Crystal of Life and Psion. The Crystal Creating presence has Gained 70 kilo☼ Crystal Avatar. It then takes up the Shard of Life and Scion and strikes the newly embodied Crystal Creating presence [8] fracturing its core! The Shard of Life and Scion lodges firmly in the wound! This presence has gained Sphere:Violence: +1 to actions involving violence.

From a terrible distance, as if beyond the very limits of the utter nothingness, a voice is heard.
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT BOLDING ACTIONS?"
*A sphere of terrible force strikes the  presence of Madness and violence, carrying it away across the universe*
-12 to next action.     

Stop insanity for the moment.
Accelerate time. Galaxies sorta exist. Starts are being born. A red planet with a huge crystal inhabited by donkeys is created near one such star to satisfy the others.


 The Hydrogen creating presence seems deeply distrubed by the utter chaos of recent events and tries to bring some sort of linear order to the rapidly unfolding events. Since there is no longer a sphere of raw power to draw from, it tries to draw in some of the diffuse raw power and [7-3=4(diffuse force)] partially succeeds, drawing in 40 kilo☼ and shaping it [9] into a new force! Force Created: Time. This presence has gained Sphere:Time: +1 to actions involving time. Spurred by this success, it tries to create more things, again attempting to seize more  diffuse raw power and shape it into a gigantic collection of burning spheres, [10-3=7(diffuse force)] managing to create 70 Giant Burning Spheres, using 1 kilo☼ for each. Celestial Body Created: Cluster of Giant Burning Spheres. Together, they are almost the size of the Crystal Creating presence's wounded body. Finally, it tries to create a amalgamation of earlier works, [3-3=0] but cannot seem to draw in the needed raw power.

This is boring. Spiritslap him until he handcrafts anything he wants in existence.

The Blue Cube Creating presence seems disturbed by the Time presence's creation of a rational, linear flow of events. It attempts strike the Time  presence, trying to force it to stop it's work. The blow [3] rebounds, sending the Blue Cube Creating presence hurtling through the universe until it strikes the [5] already damaged avatar of the Crystal Creating presence [7] passing right through it. As it does so, it picks up an affinity for some of the energies it regulates. This presence has gained Sphere:Life Energy: +1 to actions involving life energy. However, this presence's reckless use of the new
Concept:Violence has rendered it vulnerable to such actions in the future. This presence has gained Effected by Sphere:Violence: -1 to resist actions involving violence.   

Resume total insanity, gain chaotic split personality, CHAO-no, orde-CHAOOOOOS!

The terrible powers from beyond the universe begin to gather again.
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT... Hmm, this thing already seems to be totally insane, suffering agonies beyond the ken of mortal minds. Still, I'M WATCHING YOU."

Create a celestial prison to threaten to throw others in.
Accelerate time more. There are now many stars. The donkeys died long ago of anyxphixiation.


The Time Creating presences attempts to create a celestial prison, [12-3(diffuse force)] drawing 90 kilo☼ and shaping it into [5] a somewhat easy to escape from maze of constantly shifting time. Celestial Object Created: Time Prison Maze: +1 to escape attempts. Material Created: Time. Seeking an obvious uses for it's creation, it threatens to trap the presence of Violence and Madness and the Blue Cube Creating presence within. However, in this raw state of the universe, even threats have a terrible compulsive power and the presence of Violence and Madness and the Blue Cube Creating presence are drawn towards the Time Prison Maze! The Blue Cube Creating presence [7+1=8] just manages to prevent itself from being drawn in [5-12=-7] but the presence of Violence and Madness, still reeling from the extra-universal blow, cannot do say the same. It is drawn in and traped within the Time Prison Maze!

I EAT THE OTHERS INSIDE THE PRISON, BREAK OUT WITH THEIR COMBINED POWERS, THEN THROW THEM BACK UP BECAUSE BLOBS OF ENERGY TASTE TERRIBLE. WHERE ARE MY GODDAMN CORN POPS AND MILK?!

Trapped within the Time Prison Maze, the presence of Violence and Madness attempts to devour the other occupants, but finds none. It briefly tries to devour itself, but since it has no form this meets with little success. Finally, it gathers what power it can and tries to escape [3+1=4] but the poorly designed Time Prison Maze holds it for now. It contents itself by raging against the non-existance of Substances and Objects which do not exist.

Build a giant unbreakable border around everyone else and the regon of space surrounding them, then create the first particle - a banana shaped like The Grinch.

A presence, encouraged by the actions of the others, seeks to create something of its own. It draws diffuse raw power [4-3=1] but only manages to capture 10 kilo☼. It shapes this into [8] an unbreakable border that defines the edge of the universe. Universal Structure Created: Unbreakable Universal Barrier. This presence has gained Sphere:Borders&Edges: +1 to actions involving lines that delineate any two things. Giddy with success, it goes on to try to create something else, [7-3=4(diffuse energy] seizing 40 kilo☼ and shaping it into [9] a yellowish particle in the form of a usually green extra-universal monster. It is slightly larger than the Crystal of Life and Psion. Celestial Object Created: Banana shaped like The Grinch. Material Created: Grinch Banana .   

CREATE A THRONEWORLD FOR EACH OF THE GODS. IT IS THEIRS TO DO WITH AS THEY PLEASE. MY THRONEWORLD SHALL ORBIT A PROTO-STAR IN THE NEW GALAXY. CREATE PRIMITIVE INTELIGENT LIFE. SMILE DEVIOUSLY.

Still trapped with the Time Prison Maze, the the presence of Violence and Madness dreams of creating throneworlds for all the  presences, but being trapped cannot seize the power to do so. Still, it's plan may yet come to fruition. +1 to first action creating throneworlds when free.

Something came through the Void. Something from the outside. It smiled at this world, so full of possibilty and hope. It watched the other gods war from a vast cloud of dust and debris that it had made and laughed.

For the third time, hideous power beyond anything known in this universe gathers and strikes the Something that came through the void, breaking it down until it's nothing more than one of the shadowy presences that seem to have existed since before time itself.

Create a vast hollow sphere in the void, the region inside to call mine

Another of the  presences , seeking to find some peace and stability in what is rapidly becoming a universe filled with chaos, madness and destruction, seizes some of the diffuse raw power remaining [5-3(diffuse force)] and maganages to manipulate 20 kilo☼, transforming it into a rather weak but enormous hollow sphere.Celestial Body Created: Enormous Hollow Sphere. This presence has gained Sphere: Enormous Hollow Sphere: +1 to actions involving the Enormous Hollow Sphere.

Make a ball of fire.

One of the presences yet to act tries to create a ball of fire [6-3=3(diffuse force)] and seizing 30 kilo☼ and transforming it. The [2] Ball of fire explodes and diffuses across the universe! Force Created: Heat.   

Point to the galaxies and stars and planets and crystal covered in donkey corpses.

The Time Creating presence [12] points at the various things that have been created, and its action is of such force that their position has been fixed in the universe! Force Created:Space. Now things can actually have a location, as opposed to just sort of generally existing. This presence has gained Sphere:Space: +1 to actions involving the locations of things.

Cut violence in half and infuse half of it (half its power) into the Grinch Banana, granting it reality warping abilities.
Cut madness in half and use half of its power to reinforce the universal barrier.
Form of an infinite spiral of lines; creases in the fabric of reality.

Where there is violence, must end in peace. Calm the storm and introduce peace into the world, to stop everyone from murdering each other, and form the presence of order, law and peace.
