Remember when we met Megaman?

[GreatWyrmGold]

So there's white people and brown people.

And very few of the latter.

Spoiler: More Conspiratorial Ramblings (click to show/hide)

That's a pretty good question, isn't it? Have we seen anything that the merchants sell that would benefit anyone who wasn't us? Backpacks and health potions, maybe. Weapons for self defense, but once that is accomplished then what? Most people don't seem to bother to leave their homes, every time we amble along it's a ghost town. Are there really not a lot of people there, or are they hiding from us? Heck, also draws to question as to where other people are getting this money, as we've yet to find a source of it that isn't adventuring.

Take the Underside Market, a market place for that small hamlet, the closest we have to some kind of shop that might interest the average person is the quotations shop, that seems to be the closest anyone has to actual food or nick-knacks. Everything else has been weapons, potions, magic, regular adventurer fare the kind of like you would expect in a town that would base their economy around adventurers, but we haven't really seen any other adventurers beyond us or Yaos though, have we? So is most of this economy based around us? Why?

Heck, the tip store is basically the plot information Oric sells under a new name, insider information for coin. Oric doesn't care for coin even though they have obvious differences in value amongst the merchants. A river dollar to him is worth the same as a pence when buying, yet offers different rates when selling.

For now, we don't have enough information to know what is up beyond that something is up. I'm thinking that theory that this is all a mascaraed to distract us has a good bit of ground.

Hm... I should probably post an action. +1 to Mastahcheese's idea, it seems reasonable.

It's probably the feeling of a lot of now-flowing water suddenly hurtling us offscreen if we open it up.

Go back up for air, tell our companions what we've seen and where we're going, then head to the west!

+1, and make sure we ask Proxxy if this is what she's looking for

Hopefully she'll be able to answer the "level boss or sweet loot" question.

Your companions seem to have absconded without your permission. One of the Hellyfish is dead. You guess you can always tell them about this later -

Wait.

Waaaiiiit.

(Knowledge: 12)

WAIT JUST A DAMN MINUTE.





--You're not supposed to go in the water, idiot. Why do you think they say "flush" when they're deleting rooms?--

Huh?

--It's too pure. Nothing can get through it. Your soul, your connection to your friends, not even your connection to... y'know.--





--Look up. No, not down. Above you, fool. See that broken signal?--



--The anti-magic field isn't perfect, you know. With enough power, I can disrupt her influence just like your dead pals floating around there. Meet me. I'll tell you all about the voices.--

The "signal" disappears momentarily. You don't hear his voice any more.

[flabort]

Hello, Sinful. What are you doing in our head?

I dunno, why DO they call it "flush"?

Try to head west, avoiding the Hellyfish.

[Toaster]

I dunno, why DO they call it "flush"?

If it's yellow, let it mellow.

[GreatWyrmGold]

CAAAIIN! CAAAIN!

Ahem.

Greet the Hellyfish. See if they'll let us past.

[javierpwn]

So wait.... That's how they flush rooms? With literal water? Literal pure water? So it's so pure it cuts off the connection between everything.... Thats awesome!(Does that mean we are using suggestive mind-control whenever someone enters our party?)

Also, nice putting my '15+ worth nothing' quote in the white
abscond past the Hellyfish

Edit+Ninjas: Seems Proxxy is using her Star, must be in some trouble of sorts.

[IronyOwl]

CAAAIIN! CAAAIN!

Ahem.

Greet the Hellyfish. See if they'll let us past.

This even though it won't work.


Also I panicked a bit when he mentioned dead friends.

[Dermonster]

THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND ARE HAPPENING SOMEONE HOLD ME

[GreatWyrmGold]

No. derm hugs never end well. One time, it lead directly to the destruction of two rival churches and the land in between.

[Dermonster]

That was only five times and you know it! Hardly a proper crusade at all!

[monk12]

what

whaaaaaaat

In no particular order:

We lost the rest of the party again god damn

It looks like they managed to drop a Hellyfish without our help, assuming that wasn't the work of a Searchbot.

Apparently they decided to do this because our purple goo bath took us out of their party, which would make... Proxxy new team leader? I wonder if they also got amnesia or if Proxxy was just able to hijack them, possibly implying unfortunate things about the ramifications of being a Party Member.

Speaking of Proxxy, we can see her Soul Charge, and she's winning.

I take Cain's cryptic reference to "dead pals" to be a point in favor of the theory that we, the players, are dead versions of Ciro from previous cycles (not confirmation, maybe, but a step in the right direction)

what is happening I don't even

Hello, Sinful. What are you doing in our head?

+1, hopefully that's the direction the rest of the party went. I'm scared and confused and alone and apparently dead...

[GreatWyrmGold]

It also explains the spirit battle.
I bet I was an awesome cycle!

[Xanmyral]

So we're dead. Neat!

Also another neato thing to notice, he said 'her influence.' Interesting.

[mastahcheese]

WWWWAAAAAAAIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt............

This means that the anti-magic field is actually weakening the 4th wall!

The Warrens of Oric the Awesome is actually a prison from the REAL WORLD!

Run up and punch the 4th wall!
