Turn 12.I step back from the man and screem to no paticular diraction
"Why do you need us to do your bidding? and what parts of the world you want gone?"
"Uh, we were told that we needed the permission of the people! We want the entire world gone, though since we're with you guys, we don't really want the world gone anymore."
You scream into the abyssal void. The receptionist looks at you strangely.
Still in the arena.
I enter my inner world and talk to my new friend Augustus about the contract and other things.
Since it's my inner world, he can tell me about the CCC.
Inner World means Reality Marble. I only got one Friend right now, but it will come in handy someday.
What's a 'reality marble'? is what I'd say if I didn't have passing knowledge of Fate something/something. You have managed to acquire "Augustus" as a friend, presumably due to applying a friendship laser to his face. "Augustus" is, of course, not the real Augustus Caesar. He exists in a liquid state. Unfortunately, liquids are not famous for their talking ability. You stare for a few seconds, move your hands randomly about, and eventually get him to manifest in a more human form. "Augustus" appears to be more Frankish than Roman, more from around the English Channel than the Mediterranean Sea.
"Oh, I see what's going on: I obliterated my identity, and then you obliterated me! And now, you want to know about the CCC? Well, first things first, which one?"
Greet the receptionist in English.
"We speak German in here," the receptionist says in perfect English. "But hello. What business do you have at our institute of learning?"
i try to convince the hungarians to become nomadic magyars once more and plunder the roman empire
You move towards the first Hungarian you can see: the receptionist! "My, you want me to plunder Byzantine Rome? I'd be elated, but I have gotten too used to the pleasures of civilisation and Christianity has acted as a crux and a motive for all of us here."
Perhaps you would have better luck recruiting randoms outside.
Convert the receptionist to the Landite cause by spewing nigh-incoherent (but very concerning) warnings of the dangers of progressivism and egalitarianism.
You walk up to the receptionist, and attempt to convert her again.
"Are you evangelists? We're evangelists, and while we understand very much the dangers of overtly fast societal progressiveness, I would not like to join your movement. Perhaps someone else in this building would like to join your movement, but I am not sure there is even anyone else there."
I take the steel and make it into a gun and some bullets, then I steal one of the cars.
You now have a gun, and a car. -3x steel scrap.
"Wooo! I got one!" I jump in glee, looking at Eternities, who seems to have either ignored my gunshots or not noticed them at all. In the case of the first, I'm fully justified in walking up to the school and shooting him from outside the door, and if he hadn't noticed, well, there's no way I could've known he didn't like it. Actually, I still don't know if he didn't like it! So I do just that - walk up to the school, open the door, slowly but carefully, and shoot in his general direction 13 times. If anyone gets caught in the blast, great! They can die too.
I also make sure to scan the Vis of the defectors - see if they have any particularly delicious colors. Orange, violet and pure white.
You jump ecstatically in glee as you shoot your comrade, and decide that it's a truly perfect idea to do it again! You shoot exactly thirteen times at The_Two_Eternities and manage to break his aura completely! The receptionist restrains a squeal, and the CCC defectors seem too used to this. Especially the Landites: the expression on their faces seems kind of warped. Speaking about them, their vis colours seem to be
also a mundane grey, though the Landites seem to be slightly more black.
You feel like there's a particularly tasty red somewhere on this street, though, and that red is changing colour. It goes from crimson, then to pink, and then back, and for a moment it's as your wildest dreams: orange, violet, white all in one. I don't know why you enjoy guzzling
toothpaste so much, but if that's your meal, then it's your meal.
sometimes, I wonder if these logos of dictators will suddenly make themselves relevant to the current situation As time passes on, you notice a door. It's locked. Great. The receptionist asks you three things: "who's here, why are you here, and who's shooting?" Please, get all three questions right. Bad things might happen to you, otherwise.

DESCRIPTION.You are in the
reception of the
Budapest-Fasori Evangélikus Gimnázium. There is an
incredulous receptionist. There is a
door, though it is locked, which presumably leads to the rest of the school. Several
CCC defectors have joined you. About half of them are
Landites.
"Augustus Caesar"'s
contract lies on the ground? If one for some strange reason wished to sign it, they could. The
desert appears to be long gone.
