ok so essentially
A bunch of rw ocs find a district that is collapsed and fallen apart and has a lot of rot
To the east, an ocean. To the North, snowy tundra, west, jungle, east, desert
upbeat cradle
And what if they go down? Do they meet brain blast cat?
iron thunder
uhhh no going down because that'd be really confusing
also
the cycle does not exist, you die you die forever
the lore here is that it just takes place somewhere in the rw world where the crust is very thick

iron thunder
I wanna know like where we start?
(sorry for being slow)
Uhhh we start when our characters meet in the jungle and for one reason or another we are all heading to the district
I want to have a minimum of three people (me and two others) and the maximum is 4 because after that coordinating becomes too difficult
You can only be playing 2 OCS, have to be scugs
It would pretty closely follow the lore of the game and follow it's interpretations of things
viral thunder
Thinking of it I have never made a scug oc
But I might can do something about that
upbeat cradle
Lemme think about what scug OCs I could logically implement

Simon is a sort of navy blue slugcat. They're pretty smart and whenever you have an issue with something, they can help, earning them the nickname Assistant. However, most of the time he's pretty silly and cheerful. He has some googles that he sometimes uses and a scarf as well. He has a birth mark on the left side of his face where it is slightly darker.
However, he got caught in a rainstorm and was woke up in the jungle. He wandered for a while and reached the edge of the jungle where everybody meets
upbeat cradle
Her name is bitch and she’s a bitch.//j
While disguised, she tries to act more antisocial to fit in, and is very observant. When her true colors are revealed, she’s practically very ambitious, and willing to achieve her goals. She argues with her Iterator, a lot.
She is here for a mission, to hijack an Iterator who is trying to figure out what Enigmas did. Due to the rainstorm, she was forced to take shelter, but her overseer’s map has been completely scrambled.

The Stray, a slugcat designed by an iterator with cosmetics likely intended, abandoned to the wilds for unknown reasons. It is now a goalless wanderer.
It has a tongue, but the tongue is only slightly longer than average, thus it cannot be used like the saint's can. Its arms have enough strength to use spears, but its throws are weak, granting monk-level damage. It is an insectivore, like the survivor, monk, and rivulet.
Personality's likely very quiet. probably dislikes communicating, or is poor at it. Likely willing to engage in violence.
(i drew the tail wrong in that image and just realized 
it's fully black with speckles, not half)

Through the jungle biome of this strange world, a fluffy orange Slugcat can be seen walking. She appears to be hitting a disabled overseer eye in frustration. Two pearls are adorned upon the scug, giving an insight that they may be more than just a traveller.
iron thunder
some nearby bushes seem to rustle slightly
upbeat cradle
The scug turns around, looking for a spear.
viral thunder
a presence linger, hiding and laying low from the sight, cautiously watching.
(I dont know what to name my scug but I think I will call them '214' since there is many in their colony and they just got kicked out)//
iron thunder
a force suddenly barrels into the presence and they both go flying out in front of the scug
viral thunder
They let out a surprised growl, trying to get back on their feet and scurry away.
iron thunder
The force suddenly jumps away
Sorry!
upbeat cradle
The orange scug finally pulls a spear up and raises it in suspicion upon hearing the noises.
iron thunder
The force reveals itself to be a dark navy blue slugcat. They have a matching scarf and a pair of googles. They hold up their hands
Please don't spear me!
I am, totally innocent and not a threat!
upbeat cradle
She squints her golden eyes before putting her spear down. Great, another obstacle…
Well, then. It appears I was mistaken. Apologies.
iron thunder
Apology accepted.
The slugcat takes a breath and looks at the presence
upbeat cradle
The Slugcat looks at the new presence.
viral thunder
The dust grey slugcat seem weary, they are on all fours, a collar on their neck.
Well I did not expect for such... predicament...
iron thunder
Hello...
Uh- this is odd.
upbeat cradle
It seems we are all meeting each other in such a scramble.
The Slugcat holds the disabled overseer eye she held, before standing up a bit taller.
viral thunder
the grey slugcat watched, a bit streange seeing the presence of the two, it is a familiar sight to see the overseer eye. But they chose to not speak about it. It has been a while since they came across one of their kind
(ok)
upbeat cradle
The Slugcat looks at her overseer eye, holding it gently.
…only look. It’s rather important to me, but with it disabled, I’m completely lost.
iron thunder
(back but I'll be hiding on invis)
upbeat cradle
(Ok)
iron thunder
The scug looks at the overseer
Okay, I am an expert on this stuff.
The scug waits
Yeah, I have no clue.
upbeat cradle
The slug tilts her head before putting the overseer eye back in her little bag.
So, who are you two?
iron thunder
I'm Simon! They call me the Assistant.
upbeat cradle
..I wasn’t really given much of a name. I’m either called Intuitive Creature, Little Friend, or the Mindboggler.
She’s now realized how weird her names sound.
viral thunder
I... their words are rather quiet
Well... they call me 214.
upbeat cradle
We appear to be.. diverse in our titles.
iron thunder
Quite!
viral thunder
Hm. Very much so.
iron thunder
By the way, have you seen a group of traveling slugcats?
viral thunder
No... What brings... you here? The two of you?
upbeat cradle
Not of my knowledge. I’m a lone traveller.
Mindboggler stays quiet.
..well, I’ve been sent on a mission.
iron thunder
I was traveling with a small groups of others when we were separated by a storm!
iron thunder
Not of my knowledge. I’m a lone traveller.
*Mindboggler stays quiet.*
..well, I’...
A mission? Ooo.
viral thunder
I see... that sounds rather unfortunate.
upbeat cradle
Strange how different circumstances bring us together here.
viral thunder
I was looking for a new place... Not sure where I was going to be honest.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler nods.
My overseer is meant to lead me in the right direction. But then again, the rain has killed it.
viral thunder
Rain could kill anything, especially unfortunate overseer that happened to be in the wrong place and time.
upbeat cradle
Sadly, my Iterator cares more of time than his overseers.
viral thunder
Ah, thats rather... well who I am to comment on one's action? Iterators huh... welp.
214 just shrugged at it.
iron thunder
Three strangers thrown together...
So uh, what now?
(sorry I got busy with something else)
viral thunder
- 214 shrugged.*
Well, I'm just gonna... continue my way I guess. Find a new place. Thats it.
iron thunder
Simon looks around
What if we went together?
viral thunder
I guess some company won't hurt.
they sigh a bit but seems to be a little bit comforted by the presence.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler thought for a second.
I suppose a little group to travel in would not hurt.
iron thunder
Simon seems excited
So where are we going?
viral thunder
If only there is a high place to see, maybe it will be easier to see where we should go?
upbeat cradle
Try to find a tower. You can see quite far on those.
Mindboggler points this out, hoping to get enough service to find a way to fix her overseer.
iron thunder
there is a nearby tower just barely sticking up over the trees
Simon points to it
What about that?
viral thunder
That could be a good place to start, lets go there?
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler nods, holding her overseer eye. Alright. We can head up there.
iron thunder
Let's go!
Simon grabs Mindboggler and 214 by the arms and sprints through the bushes to the tower
viral thunder
!?
214 was rather surprised but kept up with the pace.
iron thunder
(sorry if I'm slow, mobile data is bad)//
viral thunder
(its oke)
iron thunder
the trio come out of the foliage on a small ridge where there is nothing but grass. On the ridge is an old, rusty antenna. From the ridge you can see a massive expanse.
for the most part it appears to be a wasteland, with small blue specks everywhere
in the center, to the east, is a large lake with a collapsed superstructure
to the North some snowy tundra can be seen
to the south a desert with another superstructure that is putting off a lot of steam and clouds
upbeat cradle
?! Hey slow down-!
Mindboggler looks out at the expanse, before pointing to the desert superstructure.
Ah, so there’s the Golden City itself. Hopefully the overseer can reconnect up here.
Mindboggler looks around for another Iterator can to try and find her goal.
upbeat cradle
Damn… Mindboggler seems somewhat disappointed.
..it is where my Iterator is, in that desert superstructure.
viral thunder
Golden City?
214 spoke.
The word reminds me of my... Iterator. Golden huh...
I am sure I am far away from them.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler holds her overseer up to the antenna, trying to regain connection.
iron thunder
Dangit, you all have iteratiors. I don't...
iron thunder
*Mindboggler holds her overseer up to the antenna, trying to regain connection.*
No dice. The antenna appears to have been fried due to centuries of no use.
upbeat cradle
..son of a..
Mindboggler looks at her overseer with disappointment.
iron thunder
Ay, we can probably make it over to your iteratior, right?
viral thunder
Dangit, you all have iteratiors. I don't...
They are by the name Golden Repair. But I can't go back.
iron thunder
Why?
upbeat cradle
Why?
viral thunder
You see this?
214 points at their collar, on the middle was a hexagon screen with a red symbol.
I am an exile. For... Something I've done. For my own and the safety of the rest in the... city. I am sent to find another place. You know what why am I even wearing this dumb collar
214 frustratedly trying to scratch off the collar.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler seems somewhat concerned, looking at the superstructure. She decides to go over to 214 to try to carefully dislodge the collar.
My Iterator is of the difficult sort, but he will listen if I say you are guests.
iron thunder
Simon grabs a spear and goes up to 214 and quickly picks it's lock, causing the collar to fall off. However, the spear breaks after this
viral thunder
214 seems to sigh in relief.
I dont plan to see them again either. Thank you.
214 looked at the collar now on the floor and kicked it aside.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler watches the collar fall, before looking at Simon and 214.
It’s best to find food, first. I have not eaten much today.
iron thunder
Same.
iron thunder
*214 seems to sigh in relief.*
I dont plan to see them again either. Thank you. ...
Any time!
viral thunder
Well, yeah why not. And hopefully there would also be a place before the rain comes again.
iron thunder
a blue fruit bush can be seen behind some bushes
viral thunder
Maybe we can get some over there?
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler goes down to the bush, inspecting them. She seems disgusted.
…this won’t do.
viral thunder
214 comes along to inspect and take a look. And picked one of the fruit
iron thunder
aaaand there was a green lizard hiding behind the bushes. It jumps out and attacks 214
iron thunder
*Mindboggler goes down to the bush, inspecting them. She seems disgusted.*
…this...
What do yo- OHH FU-
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler seems barely fazed, coughing up a nice orange Pearl. She tosses it at the Green Lizard and pulls Simon away.
iron thunder
AAAAAAAA
viral thunder
DAMMIT
upbeat cradle
After a few seconds, the Pearl explodes as a paralyzing gas bomb. The lizard falls over.
Mindboggler smirks.
Never fails.
(Gotta do algebra)
viral thunder
(does this effected 214 tho?)
iron thunder
(Gotta do algebra)
(ah ok)
iron thunder
(does this effected 214 tho?)
(no, if I am correct the lizor blocked 214 from getting hit)
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!
iron thunder
(K(
upbeat cradle
A sleep bomb. He’s just napping.
Mindboggler goes over to the lizard and stabs it multiple times.
And I call the lizard “something I can actually eat”.
(I will be gone again for history class)
iron thunder
(k)
iron thunder
upbeat cradle
(Bahahahah)
The Mindboggler went over to the dead lizard, starting to get some food pips.
iron thunder
Simon grabs a fruit
How did you do that?
upbeat cradle
It costs a food pip to make these things. My Iterator is rather.. gifted in biological engineering.
That’s all Mindboggler had to say.
My fur is actually insulation-prone, so that’s how I can live in the desert.
iron thunder
(awake I think
@upbeat cradle )
upbeat cradle
(They’re awake, the smoke bombs can’t affect scugs)
viral thunder
(oke!)
214 picked one of the blue fruit, they seems to be thinking for a moment before taking a bite of it.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler seems disgusted with 214 and Simon’s dietary choices.
How do you both manage to eat those?
iron thunder
I can eat whatever I want, I just prefer these because they're yummy.
viral thunder
I'm not picky about food. Whatever was available.
iron thunder
Simon pauses
Oh, are you one of those special ones?
viral thunder
what?
upbeat cradle
Well, shame on me for being born carnivorous. Yep, I’m one of those.
viral thunder
Oh
214 listen to the conversation, but their minds seems to be somewhere else as they eat
upbeat cradle
Yeah.. I never really understood the whole harvesting fruit thing.
viral thunder
Hm... thinking of it. I want to get rid of that for good. Maybe throw it on a cliff or something.
214 looked towards the broken collar.
iron thunder
Simon picks it up and hands it to 214
Just toss it off the ridge.
viral thunder
214 Picked took it from Simon, holding it and then threw it with all their might, as far as possible.
Much better. Hah.
upbeat cradle
The Mindboggler nodded to 214.
Nice throw. Though it’d be funny if we saw a scavenger wearing it a few cycles later, hah.
viral thunder
Urgh... I hope not.
214 took a few more blue fruits to eat.
iron thunder
Simon goes up to Mindboggler
I can't wait to see your iteratior!
viral thunder
Urgh... I hope not.
*214 took a few more blue fruits to eat.*
It's a citizenship collar, though now marked as exile. The city of my... past iterator are filled with our kind.
214 catches up to them, he wasn't fond of iterators anymore. But decided to follow along.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler thought for a moment before replying.
I’m sure Enigmas would like to meet you both. Just a bit of a warning: he’s kind of different compared to other Iterators. I’ll get the message across for him to treat you as guests.
Mindboggler starts walking with the overseer eye.
iron thunder
I haven't met any of the gods before, so this'll be fun!
viral thunder
Alright then. I'll keep that in mind...
214 followed along.
iron thunder

As the three slugcats neared the District of Fifteen Enigmas Counted, some Caramel Lizards move aside upon recognizing the Mindboggler to let them in.
iron thunder
Whoa...
viral thunder
214 was rather impressed, maybe weary of the presence, staying close to the group
....
iron thunder
How did you tame all of these?
upbeat cradle
Just… don’t question too much. Let’s just say he likes modifying his marks of communication.
As they enter the district, they find it rather clean, though hints of experimentation are clear. There is an elevator on the leg of the structure.
viral thunder
214 gave a nod at it, observing the place. athey don't feel the need or the desire to get close to any iterators, but just follow along because of the 2
iron thunder
Simon tilts his head in a little bit of confusion but follows
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler enters the elevator, waiting for the group.
viral thunder
214 follows along.
Neat.
upbeat cradle
The elevator door closes and goes up.
Yeah. Isn’t it cool?
iron thunder
Simon looks around in awe
So cool...
viral thunder
214 doesn't comment much about it. Just looking around.
upbeat cradle
(Once they meet Enigmas, Mindboggler is gonna scratch him on the head to send the message that they’re guests and to leave them alone lmao)
viral thunder
(lmao)
upbeat cradle
As the elevator reaches the top, the bridge to the interior can be seen.
Mindboggler steps out.
Trust me; it’s much cooler inside the can itself.
iron thunder
Oh man, I can't wait to understand how this works!
viral thunder
Guess it'll be the first time for me to see a different one. Other than my previous.
iron thunder
He slides down his goggles for a moment making his eyes wide before fiddling with them and putting them back on his forehead
upbeat cradle
I’ll have to speak with him first. My Pearl necklace allows me to communicate with him directly.
Mindboggler looks at Simon with concern about the goggles.
(Mindboggler would fear rivulet)
viral thunder
( )
iron thunder
Seriously? Wow!
upbeat cradle
Yes.
iron thunder
he notices MB looking at him and he grabs his goggles
Do want to try? They make everything look super close-up!
upbeat cradle
…I’ll pass.
Mindboggler stays respectful as she enters the anti-gravity shaft, jumping down without any fear or hesitation. About halfway, the antigravity starts to hit and she falls slower.
viral thunder
That looks cool
214 looks at Simon
iron thunder
Thanks! It's my own invention.
Simon peers down the shaft and shimmies his way along the side before slipping and falling down, spinning the whole time
viral thunder
You make that yourself? thats pretty cool. Oh.
214 followed along and went in too.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks up at the slugcats following.
Sorry if anti-gravity is a bit weird.
iron thunder
The Simon says something that sounds like "No sit!" but it's somewhat garbled
upbeat cradle
“…”
iron thunder
Simon lands
I don't know whether to be terrified or amazed!
viral thunder
Eh, I can't say I'm unfamiliar. But it has been a long while since.
upbeat cradle
It’s pretty cool.
Mindboggler heads down a pipe to one more anti-gravity shaft.
This is the best part, honestly.
viral thunder
Brings back some memories. Mhm yep.
iron thunder
How do we know that it isn't going to just turn off?
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks at Simon.
It won’t unless you’re in his chamber. He can’t switch anti-gravity off throughout the rest of the structure.
She kicks off of the pole, just free-flying through the shaft.
upbeat cradle
So yeah, it makes for a fun trip through this room.
iron thunder
Simon appears to have overcome his nervousness and is now spinning around
viral thunder
214 seems to know a bit of how to get around with it.
It sure is fun
they sigh a little bit.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler finally reaches the end of the shaft, crawling into the lower pipe.
Okay, let ME do the talking, okay?
Inside the chamber, a fancy-clothed orange Iterator is busy working.
iron thunder
Simon follows but doesn't exit the pipe, he just sticks his head out
viral thunder
214 was behind Simon.
Uhhh...
upbeat cradle
*The Iterator notices Mindboggler, seemingly joyful to see her again. “Ah! The little goddess returns! Something tells me that you could not complete the mission?”
Mindboggler raises the overseer eye up to to Enigmas.
Enigmas inspects it. “Ah. I see.”*
iron thunder
Simon whispers
I wonder what they're saying!
upbeat cradle
*Enigmas looks up at Simon. “Oh, and what are those little creatures doing in this great can?”
Mindboggler whacked Enigmas on the head a little.
“W-Mindboggler, you know the rules-“
She whacks him again.
“Fine. I won’t do it to em- jeez…”*
viral thunder
*Simon whispers*
I wonder what they're saying!
214 observes and whisper back
Iterator's business probably.
iron thunder
Simon slides out and looks at Enigmas with wonder
viral thunder
214 followed behind, taking a good look at the iterator.
upbeat cradle
*Enigmas looks at the slugcats, tilting his head. He looks at Mindboggler, speaking again. “I mean, I have normal marks of communication, but those aren’t as fun as-“
Mindboggler pulls out a smoke bomb.
“NO- swallow that bomb right now, young Miss. Fine, I will see if I can give them normal marks.”*
Enigmas takes a second to look at the two scugs.
(Mindboggler does scare him sometimes)
)
viral thunder
(i think 214 would already have it)
upbeat cradle
*Emignas observes the Assistant, concluding that they’re most definitely different from the others, not having a mark.
Within an instant, the Assistant is knocked back a little as they are given a normal mark of COMMS.
Enigmas looks at Assistant for a second. “..can you hear me?”*
iron thunder
Simon seems dazed and looks around wildly before looking at Enigmas and nodding fervently
(idk if that's the right word)
viral thunder
So how does it feel?
214 asks Simon.
iron thunder
Uh, interesting...
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looked at Simon.
Don’t mind the marks. It feels dazey for a second after getting it.
Enigmas looks over to 214 and Simon both. “I presume you both followed the Mindboggler into my district? She must trust both of you to let you both in.”
iron thunder
He touches his head
It kinda burns
viral thunder
You'll be just fine
iron thunder
*Mindboggler looked at Simon.*
Don’t mind the marks. It feels dazey for a second...
Simon nods
I've never met one of you before!
viral thunder
214 gave one nod, their eyes fixated towards Enigma.
upbeat cradle
“Well, little creature..”
Enigmas rose up, showing many logs and pictures of Iterators. “We are Iterators, Godlike beings sent from a race long gone to change the world into a perfect image..! We were originally tasked with helping others ascend, but I seek no interest in that now, considering my district and subjects you have met. I suppose it would be unorthodox to send my little messenger without company on her mission. Then again, this overseer is broken. It can be fixed, but for the work she has done, she deserves someone to travel with.”
Mindboggler floated over to Simon, whispering: he’s kinda kooky-
“I heard that, Mindboggler-”
iron thunder
Simon is just watching in awe
viral thunder
Aren't they all?
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler shrugs.
Eh, the other ones I met were easy to gas and hijack.
Enigmas seems to smile, nodding. “Yes, I have, little creature! Not everyone recognizes the good I do for those in my presence. Your kind does amaze me these days.”
(Enigmas what are you talking about you killed your senior-)
viral thunder
(L rip /j)
iron thunder
Wow... Can you teach me how to do that?
viral thunder
Huh? Interesting...
upbeat cradle
“Ahaha, I wish I could, little beast, but a simple creature doesn’t have this much power, I am afraid! Though, I do like your ambition! You remind me of when the Mindboggler was a little pup.”
iron thunder
(like a kid in a candy store
Simon secretly has a sort of obsession with learning things(
he looks down
Oh...
upbeat cradle
“Maybe one day you would get your chance! There are many Iterators out there who have not succumbed to the fact that we are indeed Gods. That is why I send out the Mindboggler these days! Such circumstances can cause great things.”
iron thunder
Simon looks back up
viral thunder
214 observed Enigma. Feeling a bit intrigued by their motive but do not comment.
iron thunder
Wow.
upbeat cradle
The overseer that Mindboggler holds suddenly springs to life, observing Simon and 214.
“And that concludes the fixing of the overseer! You can now all head on your way to help Mindboggler complete her mission. Are there any more questions you have for me, curious little one?”
iron thunder
Yes!
insert like a thousand questions here
What is the meaning of life?
How did you build this?
Who built you?
Why do you make so much steam?
Why do you live in this can?
Why don't you leave?
How did you discover us?
How do you work?
How are you powered?
upbeat cradle
Enigmas begins to chuckle. “Oh- hehe, I can’t answer all of those, little creature! All I can say is that if I had the ability to leave and spread my influence, I would!”
viral thunder
...eh...
214 just look at Simon
upbeat cradle
“..hm. It is indeed orange.”
Mindboggler looked at Simon with a “wtf” face.
viral thunder
(It got me curious how the hijack works)
iron thunder
No, the fruit, not the color.
viral thunder
Hm... yellow and red?
upbeat cradle
(It got me curious how the hijack works)
Basically Mindboggler infiltrates and gasses an Iterator. Once reaching the puppet, she messes with a few wires and inserts a chip in her bag adding Enigma’s program to the Iterator.)
“That’s what I mean, little one. Orange is orange.”
viral thunder
Basically Mindboggler infiltrates and gasses an Iterator. Once reaching the pupp...
(thats hella interesting, got me a few questions on Enigma but might not be related to the rp, so yeh)
viral thunder
(do you get the joke?)
(eats the joke yum )
upbeat cradle
(I know lol)
iron thunder
(I just exploded a chair)
upbeat cradle
“Let me list it in scientific detail.
It is a mixture of the colors yellow and red with the starting letter of the Hex code being F.”
*He shows a few images. “While this is the code, it can switch depending on shading and lighting.”
He continues to list the color of the orange fruit in great detail.
Mindboggler angrily wa’s in irritation.*
iron thunder
Oh, thank you!
viral thunder
214 began to think that they might not be so bad, but are also questionable in a way, but at least rather welcoming in some way.
iron thunder
So what now?
upbeat cradle
“*Well, the Mindboggler goes back on her mission. I would appreciate it if you kept her company.”
Mindboggler seems annoyed.*
I am not that lonely.
iron thunder
Hey, friends are always good!
upbeat cradle
Yeah, I guess you are right.
viral thunder
Strength in numbers I guess? Eh. Not sure where we are going.
iron thunder
YAY FRIENDS!
upbeat cradle
Enigmas shows a large map. “The Mindboggler has to visit an Iterator past this area in the east to deliver an important message. I have several rain deer to help move you all across the desert.”
viral thunder
Pretty neat
214 looks towards Simon, keeping a question for later
upbeat cradle
“Well then, anything else to say before I send you three off on the journey?”
Mindboggler hops over to the group, holding her overseer.
viral thunder
Nope, nothing.
214 doesn't want to meddle further in the works of iterators, but can't help but feel concern for their old colony. But at least they'll be far away.
upbeat cradle
“Alright then. Keep them safe, my messenger!”
Mindboggler jumps up into the pipe.
iron thunder
Simon follows
upbeat cradle
(Enigmas usually resents other scugs except for Mindboggler, but to see a scug actually interested in having godlike power unlike other Iterators amazes him)
iron thunder
(consider him boggled)
viral thunder
214 followed along right behind.
so which way are we going to?
upbeat cradle
The overseer points in a new direction.
To the Deer Port.
viral thunder
Deer port? You got pretty cool things around here.
iron thunder
Hear hear!
upbeat cradle
Mhm! Enigmas is very resourceful with his creatures!
She floats down the shaft.
(Skip to the deer port?)
viral thunder
( 
)
upbeat cradle
As the slugcats get to the Deer Port, Rain Deer with special accessories and a golden Mark of Communication are sitting down, ready to depart. Some creatures with the same mark are all working near the port.
(Fun fact, the golden mark of COMMS mind controls the creatures)
(This is why Mindboggler forced Enigmas to grant Simon a normal mark instead.)
viral thunder
(Noice)
iron thunder
(hUh)
upbeat cradle
(Simon is fine don’t worry)
Mindboggler climbs onto the antlers of the Rain Deer.
Don’t worry, they’re not stupid.
viral thunder
They look like they had nothing in their mind, but anyway.
hops on.
iron thunder
Simon hops on next to booger
This is gonna be fun!
upbeat cradle
As soon as everyone is on the deer, the Overseer looks at the Deer. The deer makes it’s usual shriek and gets up, starting to walk in the direction of northeast.
iron thunder
Whoa- this is cool!
viral thunder
214 look towards Simon and whisper.
I've got a question.
iron thunder
Shoot.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler sits up comfortably in the antlers.
viral thunder
When we came across each other, I was wondering if you are going to a certain destination? or are you just roaming around?
214 ask Simon.
iron thunder
Oh, I got lost from my group. We were traveling around, trying to find a colony when we got separated. They're probably far gone by now.
viral thunder
I'm also looking for a colony, one far from iterators if possible. You see. After my exile. My iterator directed me to a colony somewhere else, but I got lost.
upbeat cradle
The Rain Deer is actually still walking! Unlike normal deer that do stupid shit. Feels nice.
viral thunder
( )
iron thunder
Oof.
viral thunder
My iterator adores our kind. Consider them a loving caretaker. I... well I don't want to talk about what happened between me and my old colony. but something for sure... that he suggested. Well exiled me. For my own good.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks at 214.
For your own good?
viral thunder
He taught us things. and the information just spread around the colony, we get to learn how to make things or do stuff.
Yeah...
You know what I'd love some food too.
iron thunder
Simon looks down
viral thunder
found anything interesting there?
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler catches sight of popcorn plants. The Overseer seems to zap the golden Mark of COMMS. The deer stops and crouches down.
iron thunder
Wow.
Simon hops off and sprints to the popcorn plants
viral thunder
I'll get some too
214 jumps down to get some too.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler jumps down.
upbeat cradle
You gotta throw a spear at it.
viral thunder
Simon, how about you climb on me?
iron thunder
What do you mean?
upbeat cradle
I’m not sure. I’m not fat enough to do so.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler stays back.
iron thunder
Simon tosses a rock
Right when we need a spear, there aren't any.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler goes to the side of the deer, where there’s a supply bag.
iron thunder
What's in there?
iron thunder
(sper= short spear)/j
upbeat cradle
Lol)
iron thunder
Toss it here!
viral thunder
(sorry slow reply)
iron thunder
Simon holds up his hand
upbeat cradle
She tosses the sper.
iron thunder
(sorry slow reply)
(it's oki)
Simon catches it and throws it at the popcorn plant
The sper goes flying away and the plant leans and opens up
YES!
upbeat cradle
Phew.
iron thunder
Simon holds up and brings pulling kernels and tossing them down
(let's wait for shirai)
iron thunder
Simon eats rips off the last kernel and falls down. He sits there for a sec before grabbing a kernel and eating it
(aight)
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler has eaten food.
iron thunder
Simon has become gourmand
iron thunder
Simon looks a solid 2% fatter
gourmand gaming
Yah. How long are we going to travel for?
viral thunder
(aight should be back now)
upbeat cradle
Yeah. Let’s collect any other kernels for later.
Should only be about 2 hours.
viral thunder
Sounds good to me, I'll carry some
iron thunder
Simon grabs a few and stuffs them into the bag on the deer before hopping on
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler climbs up onto the deer., holding some kernels.
viral thunder
214 help carry a few kernels and jumps on
alright, ready to go
upbeat cradle
The overseer zaps the Mark again and the deer starts to move.
These deer are outfitted with special marks of COMMS.
They can be removed, actually, so be careful.
upbeat cradle
Yeah, they don’t do well in water.
viral thunder
oh? so what do we have to avoid to not get that off?
I know someone who's not good in water. They're scared of leviathans. I mean I'd be scared too.
iron thunder
Who isn't?!
upbeat cradle
Abandoning the deer once we leave the desert would’ve recommended.
upbeat cradle
(Ok)
upbeat cradle
(Maybe)
iron thunder
viral thunder
(sure?)
viral thunder
(might gotta sleep soon
iron thunder
(what time is it for you?)
viral thunder
(2.23 am)
iron thunder
(K)
iron thunder
(we gotta rp at some point
I got kicked from the thread lmao)
upbeat cradle
Lmao)
The group eventually makes it to the cliffs again, leaving the desert. The overseer zaps the Rain Deer’s Mark again, prompting it to sit down.
Mindboggler hops from the deer, looking at the group.
viral thunder
(i just woke up aa)
upbeat cradle
(Aa)
viral thunder
(I guess do we wait? until like the 3 of us online)
upbeat cradle
(Sure)
viral thunder
(if you and superstitious are online and want to continue, just try ping me and see if I'm available at the time)
upbeat cradle
@iron thunder the pinger gets pinged::
viral thunder
(yo)
iron thunder
(I can rp
I'm manage a headache so may be slow)
viral thunder
(get well soon)
iron thunder
(K
Wait
I gtg for a few
Like 20-30)
upbeat cradle
(Ok)
iron thunder
Sorry(
upbeat cradle
I am alive
viral thunder
( I think shirai is offline)
(I'm here)
iron thunder
( @upbeat cradle (
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler blinks.
His Deer are useful, are they not?
upbeat cradle
The deer can be seen with golden highlights in their eyes. A result of the Mark.
We must visit an Iterator to.. send a message.
iron thunder
Cool.
viral thunder
Well how far would it be?
214 seems to gaze over the landscape.
upbeat cradle
The overseer shows a hologram. It’s at the east, near the coast.
We will have to cross through this strange area… filled with.. anomalies according to the seer. The deer can’t take us through.
viral thunder
Well hopefully we'll find something good on the way. I guess we shouldn't stay for too long?
214 reason still stays, though they hope to help the group, they also hoped to find a colony on the way.
upbeat cradle
Perhaps. Let us go.
Mindboggler points her spear and continues forward, into what was unknowingly territory of rot.
viral thunder
214 follows the lead, picking up a spear on the way.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks around, suspicious.
viral thunder
This feels a bit odd. I do expect an iterator's place would be much better than this
iron thunder
(are we going to the broken can? @upbeat cradle )
upbeat cradle
They can come across the Iterator can. Maybe it’s whoever knows about enigmas killing his senior)
iron thunder
(huh theres a lot of rain droplets)
upbeat cradle
(Lmao)
iron thunder
eventually you reach a cliff with two circular tunnels next to each other sitting in the middle of it
Simon tilts his head
Can either of you climb?
viral thunder
I can do, I've been good at it even back in my city.
214 seems to take pride in his words.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looked at Simon, shaking her head.
If these bombs had explosive quality, I’d use them for such a purpose.
viral thunder
(It's the subway cliff right?)
iron thunder
(theres like a cliff and then a subway slapped in the middle of it)
viral thunder
(ok)
iron thunder
*Mindboggler looked at Simon, shaking her head.*
If these bombs had explosive q...
Whelp. I can climb. Should we carry you up?
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler shrugged.
If you want to. I’m surprisingly somewhat light.
viral thunder
214 looks at them both.
Getting carried like a princess?
(idk I just think its funny)
iron thunder
Simon dies
viral thunder
(BAHAHA
upbeat cradle
(LMAO)
viral thunder
(thats so sudden 😭 )
upbeat cradle
I personally don’t like being carried. But I don’t know another way to get through with this.
She’s mildly annoyed.
iron thunder
Simon grabs Mindbooger
You lead 214!
viral thunder
Alright, you'll carry them and I'll lead the way up?
214 seems to do a little bit of stretching.
iron thunder
Yep.
viral thunder
Right, let's go.
214 leaped forward and began climbing.
iron thunder
Simon follows, shaking a little bit with the extra weight
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler just looks around as she’s carried up.
The overseer is taking pictures and seems to be giggling.
viral thunder
(I imagine 214 was a little bit like a mix of ferret and rat, they are a bit lanky but close to average)
214 seems to be climbing up almost effortlessly. Occasionally looking back at them or looking for the right place to grab and hold on to.
iron thunder
Simon seems to be struggling a little bit
Mindboggler- you need to try eating fruit sometime!
viral thunder
(lol)
upbeat cradle
They give me stomachaches..
Mindboggler seems pissed at the overseer laughing.
upbeat cradle
Does it LOOK like there’s a scavenger toll? Also dangerous to get food if one of the scavs stays awake.
iron thunder
Simon jumps to another rock
viral thunder
Scavs are always a prick. Careful not to slip.
214 looked back at the two
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks around.
Man, it smells like shit here.
iron thunder
Simon finally climbs up, throws Mindboggler aside and falls to the ground
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler gets up.
Sorry for putting that weight on ya.
iron thunder
You're- fat- as hell.
viral thunder
Take some rest now, you'd need it.
upbeat cradle
I can still fit through pipes, Mindboggler rudely replied.
iron thunder
For now.
viral thunder
(I think of that round saint clip again)
upbeat cradle
(LMAOOOO)
iron thunder
(bros raging because hes weak)
upbeat cradle
For now? I know my limits.
iron thunder
Bet.
Simon gets up and takes in a gulp of air
Okay, I'm good now. No more climbing!
viral thunder
Gee. Chill out.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler glares at Simon.
Honestly, you are such a blue fruit enthusiast you’ll become one yourself. Enigmas says that you are what you eat.
viral thunder
Imagine if there was another cliff
214 chuckled a bit.
(simon is already kinda blue too I think XD)
iron thunder
I eat meat sometimes! Just not all the time...
viral thunder
(right?)
viral thunder
I'd eat anything
214 shrug
upbeat cradle
My stomach only handles meat. Fruits don’t fill me up as much. And besides, hunting is easier when you can send them to dreamland with fake pearls.
iron thunder
How do you do that again?
upbeat cradle
It costs some part of the food I previously ate. A food pip. Forms it into a special, shiny pearl that explodes a few seconds after being tossed.
iron thunder
Wow.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler coughs up a fake Pearl.
As long as one’s careful with it, it isn’t harmful. It can actually effect Iterators as well by infiltrating their sensors.
viral thunder
Sure is handy to have such tricks
iron thunder
The tunnel ahead is dark
Can you cough up a lantern too?
viral thunder
(LMAO)
upbeat cradle
Nope.
Mindboggler sighs.
The overseer attempts to light up the area.
viral thunder
Maybe if they ate a lantern mice
upbeat cradle
Those actually sound delicious.
iron thunder
(when i first found batnip in my survivor playthough i thought it was scug poo)
I could go for some too...
upbeat cradle
LMAOOOOO)
iron thunder
(and it wasnt until recently did i actually learn waht it was)
(like id hold down the eat button and something would come out and i'd be like "did i just shit?")
iron thunder
Nope.
*Mindboggler sighs.*
*The overseer attempts to light up the area.*
The tunnel seems empty
viral thunder
Should we go trough?
iron thunder
Yyyyyes!
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks at the group.
Well, this is the direction we must take. It’s fine. I’ve seen worse. One Iterator put a whole socket of weird graffiti in a tunnel when I was going to visit him once. 2 weeks later, Enigmas was still giving me therapy.
iron thunder
Haha!
viral thunder
I am curious but at the same time do not want to know what you've seen
iron thunder
Simon begins to wander down the tunnel
upbeat cradle
Trust me… it was horrifying.
She follows.
viral thunder
I think it's best to not stray too far from the group.
214 kept up with their pace.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks around.
The overseer continues to lead them through.
iron thunder
Soon the light from the outside fades
A small light can be seen from a crack in the ground
upbeat cradle
Weird tunnel..
viral thunder
Might wanna inspect that?
iron thunder
Simon gets down on all fours and sneaks up to it
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks at the crack.
iron thunder
It's a sleeping lantern mouse
viral thunder
214 watches over, standing with a bit more distance.
Can you cough up a lantern with this now?
214 was mostly kidding on this one.
upbeat cradle
Maybe at most a glowing Pearl.
iron thunder
Simon grabs the mouse and eats it whole
upbeat cradle
She just stares at Simon with confusion.
…no. No no. You’re not supposed to eat them like that.. you gotta eat them headfirst instead.
iron thunder
I forgot to bite down.
viral thunder
214 cackled slightly at the sight.
iron thunder
I think it's moving in my stomach.
upbeat cradle
Yea, good luck getting dragged around.
viral thunder
Ew... You eat way too fast.
iron thunder
Simon starts to glow
Man, I don't want to be fat like you!
viral thunder
(HA)
iron thunder
(
lmao)
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler glares at Simon.
The overseer comically shows an edited image of the Mindboggler being photoshopped on a bowling ball.
viral thunder
(it's kinda hilarious)
214 just let out a laugh from the display.
He does have a decent sense of humor
iron thunder
Simon dies yet again
upbeat cradle
Me and Enigmas make fun of each other all the time. One time I drew him small and stuck in a cardboard box labeled “free midgets”. He didn’t let me control anything in his city for DAYS.
iron thunder
Simon falls apart like legos with laughter
viral thunder
You two are rather interesting
214 crossed their paws.
upbeat cradle
I suppose that’s a compliment. Thanks.
upbeat cradle
Does that work as a lantern for ya?
viral thunder
Well, we should carry on before it rains. Probably.
upbeat cradle
LMAO
iron thunder
Does that work as a lantern for ya?
I guess...
iron thunder
Well, we should carry on before it rains. Probably.
Simon begins to head out
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler follows.
viral thunder
214 seems to follow with haste, somewhat sprinting forward.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler takes this as a challenge and runs after 214.
iron thunder
Simon sprints to catch up, albeit slightly slower
a hole in the side of the tunnel can be seen
upbeat cradle
Hey, what’s that?
viral thunder
Oh-?
214 began to think of it like a race, but stopped to see what they have found.
iron thunder
(I gtg for the night, sorry)
upbeat cradle
(Gn
viral thunder
(alr then, gn)
iron thunder
(I'm on)
upbeat cradle
(A)
iron thunder
( hello inspector)
(we have a missing scug)
(I'll give you a pot of gold if you can find them)
(if you get this reference I'll be surprised)
upbeat cradle
(I don’t
viral thunder
( <@693698422896853052>
(I hope im not way too late)
iron thunder
(it's good )
viral thunder
(we gonna continue?)
upbeat cradle
(Sure)
iron thunder
(Y)
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler inspects the hole.
What the…
upbeat cradle
…a staircase?
iron thunder
Simon peeks in and gestures to MB
You go first.
viral thunder
What? Huh?
214 looked up at the stairs.
hm...
214 try to sniff to sense if something was there.
iron thunder
there is a slight draft of air, but nothing else other than dust
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler walks up.
iron thunder
Simon hesitates but follows
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler seems used to this kind of stuff.
iron thunder
*The staircase ends and opens up into what appears to be an underground mall for Ancients. One end there is some cool air flowing and the other...
rot.*
Several cysts cover one end of the mall
A lantern mouse gets near one of them and a tentacle shoots out and grabs the startled creature before consuming it whole
Simon sees this and lets out a small eep
viral thunder
(sorry a bit slow)
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler steps back.
In all my missions, I hadn’t seen such a large quantity. How does this Iterator still think?!
iron thunder
(it's Oki)
viral thunder
What the hell... I have never seen that thing.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks at her Overseer, giving a wtf glance.
The overseer looks stern, although somewhat interested in the rot.
iron thunder
Simon shivers
Let's go the other way- yah?
Simon begins to crawl out of the stairwell and in the opposite direction of the rot
upbeat cradle
Yeah..
Mindboggler follows.
(If they want to give Mindboggler a nickname, they can)
iron thunder
(mindboogie
iron thunder
mindbooger)
iron thunder
(red bush)
(LMAO)
viral thunder
(idk )
iron thunder
eventually the area turns into a long hallway with small abandoned shops on either side
viral thunder
(they look kinda fluffy, and is red, red bush)
iron thunder
You hear a loud crash in one of the shops
viral thunder
214 ears perked up in surprise.
What the heck is that!?
iron thunder
Simon grabs a small spear and peeks around the corner before jerking back
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler raises her spear.
iron thunder
B-bad...
upbeat cradle
Either lunch, or something I should actually be concerned about.
Mindboggler peeks in.
iron thunder
There is a small DLL crashing about in an abandoned convenience store
It hasn't noticed them yet
upbeat cradle
She inches back, whispering.
That’s a threat. We gotta go.
iron thunder
Where?
If we go back there's more rot.
Simon points to further down
What about there?
viral thunder
How much of them are...
214 looked all around.
upbeat cradle
Just… anywhere without Rot…
Man this Iterator fucked up.
viral thunder
(they look kinda fluffy, and is red, red bush)
Feather duster
I don't really understand what or how rot could happen... But it is not good.
iron thunder
(gtg for class)
upbeat cradle
(Lol)
viral thunder
(good luck)
upbeat cradle
The Master of the Golden District says that rot comes from a scenario of when an Iterator modifying their genome gets distracted
iron thunder
(alr back)
upbeat cradle
(Ok)
viral thunder
(splats on the ground I am here)
iron thunder
(I have to write two short essays
May be slow sorry)
upbeat cradle
(Ok)
iron thunder
The DLL begins to amble towards the group
upbeat cradle
…go. Now-!
Mimdboggler tosses a rock in one direction, and begins to head in the opposite direction.
iron thunder
Simon follows
The DLL scrambles towards the rock
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler grabs the hand of 214, running towards what seems to be an exit.
iron thunder
It seems to be large stairwell leading up
Simon sprints up it
viral thunder
(bad wifi ;-;)
214 followed them, trying to sprint and get out of here as soon as possible.
iron thunder
the staircase leads up and into light.
The stairs suddenly end and ground appears. You are now outside- in a desolate wasteland
(brb)
viral thunder
(oki)
214 seems disturbed from seeing the rot. They had never seen such things. They found it rather terrifying.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler drops 214, thinking.
Well, this screws up my mission entirely. How can they even think about what Emignas has done if.. nevermind.
viral thunder
Urgh...
214 stood back up on their legs after a short time.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks at her overseer.
What now? Their brain is too rotten, apparently, she whispers.
The overseer shows an image of the Iterator can, where an Iterator is writing a Pearl.
Ah. I see.
(I forced a scav to kill its tribe)
viral thunder
Are we not just on a corpse now? Are we even on the right place?
214 has never seen so much destruction.
viral thunder
(I forced a scav to kill its tribe)
(is that a communication mark, mod?)
viral thunder
(ohh)
iron thunder
(ok back sorry(
There is a collapsed Iterator can nearby. Simon points to it
I think that's where we have to go!
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler gives a small smile. Good eye, Simon.
iron thunder
Thanks you!
upbeat cradle
She inspects the area.
Man.. they really don’t take care of this place.
The overseer leads them onward.
iron thunder
(wait for 214)
viral thunder
214 followed along, eager to continue moving on and stay away from the rot.
upbeat cradle
As they move on, the Iterator can gets closer.
Yikes.. looks awful..
iron thunder
(I just forgot my laptop in another class brb)
viral thunder
It's hard to imagine... Though I despised mine, I would never wish for such thing to happen.
iron thunder
Who would wish for this to happen to anybody? We should go help them!
viral thunder
But how?
upbeat cradle
My Iterator is practically a world superpower. If he were to get rot, it would be horrible for sure. I’m not entirely sure how to help a rotten Iterator.
iron thunder
Simon begins to speed walk ahead
viral thunder
214 sprints and went ahead of Simon.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler follows, sprinting to race 214.
Pretty strange how your name is 214
viral thunder
And your name is Mindboggler.
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler nods her head.
Unlike you, I actually like my title. It’s not a real name, but it’s my identity. I feel as godlike as Enigmas with it.
viral thunder
It kinda makes you sounds dumb.
214 just replied, keeping their pace with the group.
(squabbles, jealous for not ever given a name but yet do not care XD)
iron thunder
I know it seems silly, but I sometimes like being called the Assistant because I like helping people and knowing that I- I don't know, am helpful? The people I travelled with just called me that.
upbeat cradle
I wasn’t exiled by my Iterator.
She looks at Simon.
It suits ya.
viral thunder
214 growl a little bit at the remark. Unsure on what to say to Simon
...
upbeat cradle
)I wonder if any of them suspect Enigmas’s true intentions)
Mindboggler sprints ahead, looking at the Iterator can.
viral thunder
(214 was a bit distrusting of Enigma, though was not compelled or interested to meddle in the business of iterators anymore. Though they can't help but feel concern for their old colony back there.)
upbeat cradle
(Oof)
upbeat cradle
**I** wasn’t exiled by my Iterator.
*She looks at Simon.*
It suits ya.
(And then Mindboggler insults them with this)
viral thunder
(yes-)
iron thunder
(Simon thinks Enigmas is the coolest person ever)
viral thunder
(Simon moment)
viral thunder
214 quietly follows and catches up with the rest, curious about the situation ahead, he rushed.
iron thunder
A large hole can be seen in the side of the can
viral thunder
It seems damaged...
upbeat cradle
Yikes… are we heading in?
iron thunder
Yes! Adventure! Saving whoever is in there! Hopeful not dying!
viral thunder
Only one way to find out... 214 went ahead first
iron thunder
Simon follows
upbeat cradle
..your optimism worries me.
Mindboggler follows, coughing up a sleep gas Pearl.
viral thunder
(I should fr make a digital ref sheet of my ocs)
iron thunder
Well, if you aren't optimistic then you're deeply depressed!
upbeat cradle
…I suppose you’re right, I’m just doin my job.
viral thunder
214 went in through the hole on the side of the can.
iron thunder
The inside of the can is a wreakage. There are a few neurons floating around here and there but some of them seem to have X's in them
Simon heads in
upbeat cradle
You could call it brainrot.
Mindboggler continues on, focused with her bomb.
iron thunder
(do you want to narrirate this part aza?)
upbeat cradle
(Yes)
There is a lone Iterator in the middle of the can, still attached to the handrail. She appears to have a ripped cloak, and few neurons floating around her. She holds a pink pearl, and she appears exhausted.
iron thunder
Simon slowly approaches them
Hello?
viral thunder
...
214 felt pity towards the iterator, despite that he was no longer fond of them. He went with Simon
upbeat cradle
The Iterator raises her head, her eyes gently closed.
“..I apologize, little creatures… writing this Pearl was tiring..”
Mindboggler holds her sleep gas Pearl, staying a far distance.
viral thunder
They seem to be very unwell... I can't help but feel bad.
214 went closer. They know at least this iterator doesn't know what GR would know. Somewhat feeling compelled to accompany them, just purely out of pity.
upbeat cradle
“…I was trying so hard.. to research something. When the rot was born of accident and genome, I didn’t tell anyone. I simply continued with my work… but I have finally done it. Although I have torn myself apart, I have finally figured out what happened to my group’s senior.”
She holds out a pink Pearl.
Mindboggler steps forward.
iron thunder
Simon grabs the pearl
What about you? You're sick- we need to help you!
viral thunder
214 sat beside the iterator.
And how are we supposed to do anything to help them?
There is possibly nothing we can do
upbeat cradle
“..I’m not sure how to fix this. Perhaps one day something will come up and save me.. but for now..”
Glass Breaking in An Aurora looks at the Pearl.
“Take that Pearl.. to a broadcast station. The world must see past.. his lies.”
She finally catches sight of Mindboggler, inching back. “And so his rat arrives. I know exactly what she is here to do.”
iron thunder
Simon turns to MB
What? She's our friend.
viral thunder
...
214 began to feel doubts once more.
upbeat cradle
“*She works for a monster.
..I only need you to deliver that pink Pearl to a broadcast station.*”
Mindboggler looks back, somewhat doubting her job.
iron thunder
You mean Enigmas? He seemed nice-
viral thunder
214 consider if it was a false sense of peace that have been lingering around. They take a look towards Mindboggler.
iron thunder
Simon seems deeply confused
upbeat cradle
“…no matter how nice he may act now, he KILLED my group’s senior.. everyone must know.”
Mindboggler finally looks up, expressing some sort of guilt.
..sorry, old lady. I’ve got a job to do.
She prepares to throw her own Pearl.
iron thunder
What?! Wait!
viral thunder
I can deliver the pearl, I am good at climbing.
214 look at Simon, somewhat having a slight change of heart. At least this iterator wasn't the one who exiled them. Or maybe out of pity.
(oop)
iron thunder
Simon hands 214 the pearl and steps between MB and Aurora
upbeat cradle
MB stops in her tracks, still holding the weapon.
iron thunder
HOld on! Wait a second! Why are you going to attack them?!
viral thunder
214 looked for a broadcast station and went ahead first to deliver the pearl.
upbeat cradle
..it’s my job, Simon. If I erase her memories of her old senior, Enigmas’s secret won’t come out.
The orange overseer is behind MB, waiting for her to toss the Pearl at Aurora.
Aurora simply looks at Simon.
iron thunder
Secret- what??
upbeat cradle
Enigmas usurped the group by sending me to trap slag in the senior’s pipes. Nobody but Aurora knows. That’s why I have to do this..
MB does seem to express guilt.
(You can actually convince MB to turn against Enigmas)
iron thunder
What?! You killed somebody??
I don't know what the hell he told you but this isn't right!
upbeat cradle
…I had to. I’m sorry..
The Overseer looks at MB, pointing at Aurora.
iron thunder
NUH UH!
viral thunder
214 was away at the moment, climbing the broadcast station. Carrying the pearl with him. The skills of climbing back in his old city does come in handy. He knows how to use and put the pearl in the right place.
upbeat cradle
(He hit her with the Nuh uh)
viral thunder
(nu uh XD)
iron thunder
Simon pulls out his spear
You can't kill them for no reason!!
Theres-
Can we like just not?!
upbeat cradle
Mindboggler looks at the Enigmas overseer.
..he will kill me if I don’t.
(He won’t actually, but she fears that he will)
viral thunder
After putting the pearl to the broadcast station, 214 slides down to the ground.
upbeat cradle
The overseer widens it’s eye before fucking dying.
Mindboggler looks at Simon.
viral thunder
(fuckin dies)
iron thunder
Look, now he can't see you! You're safe!
mumbled
Oh my god that was the most accurate spear throw I've ever thrown...
viral thunder
214 went back to where they are after delivering the pearl.
I've done it.
(gg to Simon)
upbeat cradle
LIVE BROADCAST - EMERGENCY
`GBA: This is my final broadcast. I… am not doing well.
GBA: I cannot speak for long.. this is tiring.
GBA: ..Fifteen Enigmas Counted is a traitor to us all. He inserted slag into our beloved Anonymous Droplets of Poetry, causing his collapse.
GBA: It took me a long time to figure this out. Don’t let this be in vain.. do the right thing, everyone.
GBA: Pages, if you can hear this, you must be responsible for the group now.
GBA: End communication.`
*Mindboggler takes a moment to think before lightly dropping the Pearl. The Pearl doesn’t activate.
Aurora raises her head.*
viral thunder
(gtg for class, I'll be back in almost half an hour(
(oki)
iron thunder
Simon falls down
ohmygod
upbeat cradle
..what?
She looks at Simon.
viral thunder
214 looked at Aurora silently, words were kept and not spoken yet. Still thinking.
...
Was Simon alright?
momentarily look towards Simon.
upbeat cradle
Aurora dips her head solemnly.
“..so you have done it. Thank you.. we can all rest in peace now.”
Nobody:
The enigmas overseer being sniped:)
viral thunder
(fuck indeed)
viral thunder
214 speak towards Aurora.
You reminded me of my caretaker. Though I despise them, I can't say I hated them. I am aware that you do not know what happened between me and my caretaker. But I had a feeling you understood my pain in a way I could not understand.
upbeat cradle
MB sighed.
I don’t know what the hell to do.
Aurora nods. “I do indeed see your sorrows, even with my shut eyes.”
iron thunder
...how about we go take a nap...
viral thunder
214 nodded.
I feel tired too from all the running and climbing today.
viral thunder
214 lay down nearby, taking a rest as they flop to the ground.
Are you waiting for something red bush?
it was a way to make fun of Mindboggler.
upbeat cradle
…red bush? How dare you.
Mindboggler simply lays down.
Aurora looks at Simon.
iron thunder
Simon is about to fall asleep
iron thunder
(BURN OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH)
viral thunder
(LMAO)
upbeat cradle
She glares at 214.
Do you prefer to be called parent-less? Because you’re exactly that.
viral thunder
Oh please I'm not artificially created.
iron thunder
(GAGAGFAFGQGWHWGAHHWHAHHAHAHA)
upbeat cradle
I wasn’t artificially created either. My family was captured by Enigmas a long time ago. Apparently I was charismatic, because I somehow managed to win over Enigmas. He just modified my genes, yknow?
iron thunder
Simon is asleep and a very much missing out
viral thunder
A charismatic red bush it is
iron thunder
(LmfAO STOP IM LAUGHING IN CLASS AND EVERYBODY IS LOOKING)
viral thunder
(i find it funny they're trash talking while simon sleeps XD)
upbeat cradle
You look like you take advice from a worm.
(BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL)
iron thunder
(GAGAHABA)
viral thunder
Angry "wawa" noises.
upbeat cradle
MB goes to sleep.
viral thunder
214 soon went to sleep too, curled up.
iron thunder
Later that night, some cysts begin to travel across the can
upbeat cradle
Aurora raises her head, opening a small pink eye in concern.
MB hears something.
viral thunder
214 was pretty much still asleep.
iron thunder
A bump in the night
upbeat cradle
MB raises her head, holding her spear.
viral thunder
214 stirs in their sleep but was still far from awake.
iron thunder
Simon raises his head dwearily and suddenly becomes much more alert when he sees MB's spear
He silently crawls over to her
What is going on...?
upbeat cradle
MB puts her hand over her mouth.
Ssh. I heard something.
iron thunder
A metal plate falls outside the chamber
Suddenly, the roof caves and a massive DLL falls from it
upbeat cradle
AGH! GET UP! GO GO-!
MB starts running.
Aurora’s eyes open in horror.
viral thunder
HUH-!? seeing the DLL they scurry and just sprints as fast as they can.
upbeat cradle
MB tosses a rock over to the wall, running away.
iron thunder
Simon suddenly jumps into a hole in the wall and disappears
The DLL moves over to the wall as another drops from the ceiling and sprints after 214
MB feels a hand grabbing her by the ankle
upbeat cradle
Boggler looks behind her, raising her spear.
viral thunder
SHIT-
214 attempting to outrun the DLL.
iron thunder
Hey wait no!
It's me!
Simon raises a plate
There's space in-between the walls!
upbeat cradle
Ah! Then we gotta get there.
She continues running.
Aurora calls out. “Please, don’t come back to this structure! Run!”
upbeat cradle
Hey, don’t forget the parentless one!
She points at 214.
viral thunder
NOPE NO NO NO!
214 just dashed towards the exit and slipped through.
upbeat cradle
MB slips through the crack in the wall.
upbeat cradle
MB keeps running.
viral thunder
214 made sure to stay as far as possible, flopping to the ground as they pant, they are still barely awake/recently awake.
Urgh...
iron thunder
Simon follows MB for a bit
We need to find 214!
