Oh hey, I have no items.  Let's gather!  _(No.)

Buy chrome screws.  Reforge them into a tiny suit of armor.  Put it in the gallery.

[EagleV]

I will buy all the orange juice, and accelerate the biochemical processes that make it go bad. I wonder what kind of mold I can grow.

[TherosPherae]

Buy the twig nest, spotted red bellied finch, yellow cactus, and raspberry bush. Attempt to combine them and the eggs into a decent-looking scene, then turn said scene into stone to be preserved forevermore.

[Firelordsky]

Buy 4 pine needles and attempt to combine them with my golem.

Outside the portal is a large dark room, the only light you find is from the interrior of the Aglaia. Four large collums support a celing around two stories high. Several stone coffins are placed along each wall, and a carved stone door leads out of the room. The strong looking rock walls are carved with strange symbols, pictures of short humanoids, something that looks like elephants on fire... and cheese.

~ Streaked Turqoise Marble Pillar ~ [210]  James the Stonecarver (TherosPherae.cycle 3)
This large collumn is built like a traditional greek temple. Widened at the base and top with square pieces of marble, grooves move up at regular intervals around the middle of the object. Streaks of a bright turqoise material stream through the stone all around the marble making an impressive sight.

Buy chrome screws.  Reforge them into a tiny suit of armor.  Put it in the gallery.

42
Buying the screws from the group inventory is easy enough. Attempting to flatten them out and reform them into miniature armor is not quite as easy. Chrome isn't as easy to work with as steel or iron, as you loose the 'chrome' effect when you reshape it without taking the proper measures. You first couple of attemps produce no results, and you think that you may be distracted by the impending hibernation.

+12 small chrome screws [28]

I will buy all the orange juice, and accelerate the biochemical processes that make it go bad. I wonder what kind of mold I can grow.

26
You also make your purchase from group storage, and attempt to craft with it. However, Orange juice is naturally acidic, not exactly the best medium for growing mold or other such time related decompisition bacteria. You might be able to ferment it, but the acid would be concentrate, making it taste rather horrible, and you wanted something living. Maybe another go next cycle will be easier.

+ 4 gallons of Orange Juice [31]

Buy the twig nest, spotted red bellied finch, yellow cactus, and raspberry bush. Attempt to combine them and the eggs into a decent-looking scene, then turn said scene into stone to be preserved forevermore.

12
Purchasing those items, you begin to arrange them around your work station. The finch takes some struggle to get it to cooperate, and to see the nest and eggs without it being dwarfed by the two plants is difficult. And a cactus and raspberry plant just don't seem to go together well. Eventually you give up and prepare yourself for hibernation.

+ 1 terracotta potted raspberry bush [65]

Buy 4 pine needles and attempt to combine them with my golem.

77
78
67+78+0+90=235
You pick up a few pine needles from group storage, and get to work. Your toon golem is humming idly to itself, when you approach it with the needles. At first it is fine, but as soon as it sees the needles, it is dressed in a blue hospital gown, and screams loudly. The resulting scene is you chasing it around the work area until you manage to finally capture the thing and get it to stay still. Using your powers, you begin to fuse the needles into the golem. The glass structure of the toon remains, but it begins to grow glass needles from it's head like hair, and now leaves a trail of these glass shard needles everywhere it goes.
+77 toon augmentation exp
+1 Glass Pine Needle Toon Golem [235]
- 4 fresh pine needles [1] (First rule I'm changing in the 5th cycle is the ability to use just part of a stack without using a dissasemble action, it just sort of breaks things like this.)
- 1 smiling glass golem toon [180]


The engines of the Aglaia hum quietly, as the ship prepares for it's next dimensional jump. And the hibernation area opens, admiting new creators, and allowing the old to return to sleep.

~ L'i^le d'ananas bleu ~ [242] Alex the Chef (ExKirby.cycle 1)
A dessert delicacy created by Alex the Chef. A mixture of crushed blueberries and coolwhip is swirled in the center of many pineapple ring cuts. On top more blueberries are scattered, with a creatively chaped pineapple top finishing off the garnish.

~ Pristine topaz-adorned steel breastplate ~ [135] Dylar the Blacksmith (Toaster.cycle 1)
This steel breastplate has ridges of steel carefully merged with the shoulders of the armor. Both as a decorative function and practicality, these ridges deflect incoming blade edges. The metal of the whole breastplate is shined to a chrome sheen, and a large topaz gemstone is set in the center front of the item. The setting of the metal around the stone forms a heart shape.

~ Timescale Box Dimension ~ [223] Eldmor the Breeder (EagleV.cycle 1)
This shoebox sized metal container holds a timeline of fish evolution. With the power of a pocket dimension it holds every last species from a single celled organism to space faring planet eaters. Each one labeled and set in stasis along a line. A mere mental thought of the viewer allows the view to move to any particular fish, or group of fish in the line as the user directs.

~ The Crystal Huntress ~ [151] Orestes the Stonemason (anzki4.cycle 1)
This is a living cat golem made from a clear quartz crystal. It is vagely panther-like with small pointed ears, and engraved whiskers in it's square head. The body and paws are rectangular, and the tail that extends behind it also has some sharp edges. She is cut like a gemstone and sits in typical cat style on top of the pedestal in stasis. The small plaque that holds its name also mentions that the golem is given movement by magic.

~ Eldmor's Vertebrates And A Bunch Of Crabs(EVAABOC for short) ~ [336] Eldmor the Breeder (EagleV.cycle 1)
This comedy act revolves around several animals acting out a skit. A wooly Mammoth is the main actor, with a jaguar as the bartender. Three tiny geckos act out being drunk bar patrons, and a colony of neon-blue crabs hides in the Mammoth's fur for the punchline. They all work together surprisingly well.

~ Molded Gasoline Flame Thrower ~ [195] Astor the weaponsmith (Ukrainian Ranger.cycle 2)
This flame thrower is made from reformed and molded pieces of disected car parts. The main of the tank is a gastank from the vehicle, and the hose leading to the metal nossle is a long fuel line. Complete with straps to hold the tank on the back of it's user, this weapon is great for roasting marshmallows with only a small amount of gasoline flavor.

~ Heavy Laser Tripod Mounted Little ol' Number ~ [262] Astor the weaponsmith (Ukrainian Ranger.cycle 2)
This automated defense turret is mounted on a two foot tall three-legged tripod. The main body is a red box, with a weapon muzzle sticking out of one side. The turret has a guidance system that rivals the best tracking ever invented, and somehow it was made from a simple laser rifle, and a car radiator. You should be very glad it is safely here in the gallery, where it cannot be pointed at you.

~ Soul Powered Corpse Car ~ [155] Murdoc the Necromancer (Weirdsound.cycle 2)
Living flesh is stretched over this car frame. A jumble of hands, feet, arms, and legs make fleshy wheels, and the engine is a composite of internal organs. A metal frame can be seen from time to time, as the shifting flesh moves. The souls of the people used to create the monstrerous transport moan and groan at their torment.

~ 1 Boatmurdered(tm) acidic, toon songsword ~ [107] Astor the weaponsmith (Ukrainian Ranger.cycle 2)
This sword is a living toon. The rubbery gleam of toon metal shines a fairly sharp brown-green and drips a bit with green fluid. This relates the fact that the weapon has been imbued with an acidic nature. The toon face on the sword, sings in a deep bass voice about the greatness of a Dwarven Fort named Boatmurdered. The tales of the deadly elephants and halls full of miasma could bring a tear to even the most stalwart dwarf's eye.

~ Streaked Turqoise Marble Pillar ~ [210]  James the Stonecarver (TherosPherae.cycle 3)
This large collumn is built like a traditional greek temple. Widened at the base and top with square pieces of marble, grooves move up at regular intervals around the middle of the object. Streaks of a bright turqoise material stream through the stone all around the marble making an impressive sight.
