World Turn:


Frogs Laughs are no Loaf!

Before Fate and Time could further ravage the nascent Peeps, LOL took them all under his two L-shaped arms, and threw them in the Whole Loaf Box. There, they were put in stasis, preventing their time from progressing and their terrible fates from being fulfilled.


On Doughnut: Yes, Yes, Yes!
The Yes of Doughnut were placed accidentally on an isolated land surrounded by massive and harsh mountains. A mysterious plague killed off all the creatures that could have escaped, and the Yes ecosystem remained constrained to this small region. And despite the innumerable eras, no flying creatures were ever born there, not any able to survive the harsh mountains surrounding this oasis of life.

The Yes haven't managed to spread beyond their original region


On Dis Subluminaries: Yes, Yes, Yes!

Thanks to the questionable decision of Qwuck, Old Long Cygne, and Iniungo, the Lesser Worlds that were known as Dis Subluminaries were seeded with countless species of Yes. At first all was well, and the complex Yes ecosystems seemed like they would thrive with the welcoming light and atmosphere of the plasma worlds. Innumerable species of creatures of many classifications, thriving in the skies, on the land, and in the water. And thanks to the advancing time, the Yes quickly spread all over their respective worlds.

Fate and Time, however, would decide otherwise. Annihilated by the flames of the Dragon, the Yes were doomed, and the celestial factors conspired to eventually bring their end. And their extinction would be caused by the very worlds that harbored and nurtured them.

For although Dis Subluminaries would never collide, their flirting passages would not be without consequence on their surfaces. With enough proximity, the power of their cores would cause a powerful reaction and a massive arc of energetic plasma to connect them, manifesting into a series devastating ion storm plaguing the surface. Such events would be rare and distant enough that they wouldn't threaten the preservation of life, and for three worlds to come near was even more unlikely.


The first cleansing occurred. In a celestial dance both awe and terror inspiring, the plasma worlds chaotically orbited around a single plasma world, causing its entire surface to be covered by massive arcs of lightning that would leave only dust on their passage. The surface of the world was purified, turned back to pristine, cooling molten glass. No life survived the ordeal.

The advancing time caused these impossible events to occur several more times. Only one of the worlds was spared total annihilation, with only a pocket of life surviving. Constrained to a single island of glass, miraculously untouched by the plasma storms, a pocket of life survived.

The Yes have been nearly wiped out from existence. Only a few species of creatures still exist, living on an isolated island of glass.


On Laak's Garden: Laak's Laaklang

The Flawed Lashagi: the Curse of Ruin
Before they could really spread, Laaklang cleaned the Garden of all Yes presence. From their remains, the Aspect gave birth to the first Lashagi. But unbeknownst to Laaklang, this Lashagi was born with a curse that would spread to all their descendants. They lacked a soul spark, and these Lashagi would never form a civilization and would be jealous of those who would have what they missed. Forever intelligent monsters, at the edge of a society they sought to form, yet never able to grasp it.

The Lashagi thus made another from themselves. And this other made more others, and the flawed Lashagi started spreading.

With the Yes gone, Laaklang wouldn't be able to create another Lashagi until a very long while. Over time and many aeons, the ashes from the plasma worlds gathered over the Garden. Every time, Laaklang would absorb these foreign elements and store them until the Aspect could create a Lashagi. It took enough time for many mortal existences to end before the second Lashagi was born. This one, however, didn't bear the curse. Immediately, the flawed Lashagi hated the newborn, complete Lashagi. In their rage and jealousy, they killed it.

The Eternal War of the Lashagi
More existences passed. Laaklang, who hadn't forgotten the past event, created its third Lashagi in a remote place. There, this Lashagi made more of them, and they formed a social unit of sort. A tribe, one would call it. This tribe grew, and other tribes were born...

Soon, the flawed Lashagi came across them, and this day marked the start of an eternal war between the flawed Lashagi and the complete Lashagi. With their organization, the complete Lashagi managed to repel the uncoordinated flawed, who they called Ishagi. The conflict greatly saddened Laaklang, but the Aspect refused to harm the Lashagi, complete or not.

Eras passed, and the Lashagi gave birth to many civilizations, which in turn died in order for new to rise over their ruins. But the Ishagi could never be exterminated, posing a constant threat to the Lashagi. It would have seemed that eventually, the Lashagi would be wiped out given enough time.

The Birth of Igashi
Laaklang gave birth to a fourth Lashagi, the one that would bring destruction to the entire Lashagi race. This one was born complete and flawed, possessing an ability to unite the Ishagi with a single purpose: eradicate the Lashagi. Its name was Igashi. Gathering in great numbers the Ishagi into an unstoppable force, Igashi laid waste to many Lashagi nations before the warring Lashagi decided to unite in order to stop this threat.

This last war would be the most destructive, as Fate ensured both sides would always be equal in order to cause lead to mutual destruction. With its end, the war brought the complete destruction of all Lashagi civilizations, as well as the death of Igashi. In the end only a handful of Lashagi and Ishagi survived, and having lost all of the knowledge of their forefathers, they returned to a primitive state, warring still.

The Lashagi rose and fell, cursed by Fate and swept by Time...


Acknowledging the rest

The Mice gathered around Dalarin. It was comfy there.

The Space Police Chicken Force still exists. They are huddled around Iniungo like chicks around their mother.



From the Abyss


Eight claws tear at the curtain of darkness separating Cosmos from the Abyss. A headless neck emerges, pulsating with an ominous red light. From the end of the neck appears a crimson spiked ball. Its light is sending a call. The black rift lights with innumerable red stars.
An army of beings of white and red substance appear next to the massive monster. Bleeding urchins which seem to grow limbs as needed.


An Abyssal God and its retinue of Greater Servants have emerged from the Abyss. Completely consumed by the Abyss, it exists sorely to bring about the awakening of the Abyssal Creature.
As long as they exist, they will provide 2 Temporary Chaos.


The ink-like blackness is pushed outward by four massive blackened wings. A two-headed ancient god with four wings, and four limbs ending in talons enters the Cosmos. Two of its feathers detach, each turning into an armored warrior of great power.

Another Abyssal God and its retinue of Two Aspects have emerged from the Abyss.
As long as they exist, they will provide 2 Temporary Chaos.


A white star of light malevolent burns the veil of existence, and appears in the Cosmos.
A black moon of ruinous shadow melds out from the Abyss.
A pale comet of death pierces the edge of the Abyss.


Three Abyssal Gods have emerged from the Abyss.
As long as they exist, they will each provide 1 Temporary Chaos, for a total of 3.


A titanic glob of writhing liquid orange and gold metal is coughed by the Abyss, and following it are many moon-sized similar globs. They bear many faces in tormented expressions.

Another Abyssal God and its retinue of Greater Servants have emerged from the Abyss.
As long as they exist, they will provide 2 Temporary Chaos.

Thinawan...felt some sort of familiarity with these beings - these siblings- that emerged from the Deep Abyss. It felt the omens black and red and screaming; eyes shaved and unadorned. It looked at Creation-ruptured-like-peach and saw it their duty to do what was needed.

Thinawan made an announcement to the heavenly host. "You see the consequences of the divine juice spilling, its excess, its pleasure. You are prepared to deal with those bearing fangs and talons; I am prepared to deal with that which must be cut, must be recycled. Please, do not make resistance, no blade-arms raised. This is necessary, this is Balance."

[Activity]: Hunt down the Yes, consuming each and every member.

[Activity]: With eyes unblinking (and with feathers pointed), destroy as much of the Dis Subluminaries as possible.

Thinawan looked upon the remaining Lashagi with dread and conviction. They approached with wings raised, talons pointed, and beak bloody. It sighed and said to the child of Laak, the many-many Laaklang. "Oh child of the Interconnected, the Network, the Crafted; I know your purpose and your deeds. But, I see too your children, skittering in their multitudes. They have failed. Worry not however, for they shall yet serve. Blunt your senses and skitter and run, for my deed is not what a parent should see happen to their daughters or sons. I make only a request that you refrain yet more to create progeny of this manner, of this kind. At least, until the threat from above and below is scorched, its wings cooked and clipped."

[Alteration]: convert the remaining Lashagi/Ishagi into a Divine level artifact [ cost; 1 Ichor, 4 Power].

Code: [Select]
Name: Emancipation
Class: Divine
Description: A pair of spurs attached to one's feet, they appear to have the aesthetic qualities of bronze. They are simple in appearance, lacking in ornamentation or otherwise.

Qualities:
-Reduces True Destruction cost by whatever Nakeen finds reasonable.

Qwuck qwucks in mild despair at seeing the end of reality happening all over again, then he qwucks solemnly to some of the other divines, "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!"

Distribute one Manifold Aegis each to the Overmind, Dalarin, Laak, Thinawim and Infernose

Engage in Combat against the First Abyssal god using the supplied Manifold Aegis! How does a Toaster hold a Divine Lash? don't ask that question, your brain might start melting.

Immediately attack Thinawan, attempting to dispatch it and consume its ichor.

Thinawan sighed, knowing this the fate of those who chose the hard path.

Proceed to flee, accompanied by an orchestration of yakety sax.

Contingent on Iniungo not attacking Thinawan, Thinawan contributes 2 power towards destroying the Garden world.

The universe is not yet ready for my vision Laaklang, for now the Garden must be dismantled. We shall rebuild it again once the Universe can sustain it.

Laak will enlist Laaklang in helping to dismantle Laak's Garden, helping personally as well. If it is destroyed, absorb my ichor and we attack any who would interfere.

The world is but a cycle, a system. The Garden wasn't, then was, and now doesn't once more. In time, it will come again, but for now, it's death will birth soldiers for the future.

Instruct Laaklang to repurpose as much of the planet as possible into Lashagi kamikazes to help combat the abyssal invasion. (Told can't be done during battle so striked)

Brought back into allignment, the system of the universe was misaligned no more by the beauty of the Garden. Yet now, it's magnificence has wrought equal and opposite malace from the abyss. To battle!

After doing so, Laak and Laaklang (and maybe Lintu if they're around and the committee is fine with it) will begin attacking lone Abysall Aspects, only attacking any that can be picked off by the duo (maybe trio), and absorb any ichor I can. collect ichor without absorption for committee use.

Contribute 3 power to creation of the group Aspects, one to each.

Committee Vote: Lintu helps destroy Laak's Garden.

dalarin could not afford to let the first abyssal god remain. It's movements betrayed a malicious intent that would end all things, including him. however, he had an idea.
Dalarin attempts to lure the rampant dragon of fate into combat with the first abyssal god and it's servants, knowing that they would likely recognize the threat such a being poses and give their frenzy a direction to lash out in while the chaos settled. Dalarin also involves himself in the combat with the aegis he was gifted, sacrificing mice to disrupt the attacks of the greater servants while he himself struck at their creator.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

As Qwuck approaches the dread Old Headless Eightclaw, he could not help the worry squirming among his insides. Eightclaw was a mighty foe, who had killed many challengers. They needed an extra ace in their corner to help secure victory, an extra combatant. An aspect of destruction...

Qwuck provides 1 power to Lintu [1/5 Power]

Quote
Name: Lintu, Lord of Lightning
Class: Aspect
Description: Giant bird that slays planets and alien gods

Traits:
- Can store/transfer ichor
- Controlled by committee of creators, each creator having 1 vote
- Honorable, will not do underhanded anything
- Lightning outright deletes stuff where possible
- Mastery of World Destruction
Committee Vote: Lintu helps destroy Laak's Garden.
