soft crystal

Ill be excited o see this playthrough :3

true river
#

im soooo speeeedy

shaded citadel doesn't appear to be as depressing i think, no stray rain, might just be bc pebbles is above

another flood, yay

timber siren
#

Soggy

Good luck going back to regular scug speed after this campaign lol

My guess is as good as yours at this point!

#

a scav blasted me out of the sky

#

you're too nice

#

...WATER DANCER, I WATER DANCER I HAVE A NAMMMEEE

if course not smhhh, those idiots have no value for knowledge

#

story time with Moon

#

fuck i hope i dont get caught up in the rain

#

i dont understand any of that

#

i can go say hi if you'd like

i see rivulet as a he so to rephrase for clarity i would say
do you think rivulet knows he exists

true river

OH

let's debate rivulet's pronouns instead

granite field

#

riv gives off hyperactive toddler with a mission, and nothing will stop them in achieving it (in a stubborn sense)
I dont think them stupid, but maybe they are a bit crazy

#

the music isn;t even scary anymore

#

it's something along the lines of painful acceptance

#

the water everywhere from the pipes no longer being able to hold themselves

#

this is what i mean by baby rot, its so smol

...purple wall rot tentacles dont grab me?

#

also the music rn is now for sure unsettling

#

...very safe nap spot...

#

IT JUST GETS WORSE

#

there is no sound in this room other than dripping water, which is deeply unsettling

#

why does this room look so funny and wavy

#

safari region unlocked!

#

i can hear thunder, also first spotting of feather duster and vein-looking-thing!

#

this room sounds like a broken arcade machine

#

Idk if you've noticed, but you're on the same floor

I've noticed

#

uh, glad to be of comfort..i guess?
though you are here by your own doing, it's not nice to see you hurt

#

I can do this all day

#

you sure? I wouldn't mind dragging your puppet out of here, if that'd even work

#

.....hm?

.......uh huh..

#

bro even said "please"

what's with the music and flying porl

i forgot to show pebbles the pearl i have in my moth

#

dammit

#

i wonder if he'll read me pearls in general

sour zephyr
#

I actually have no idea XD

#

I still have never brought a pearl to pebbles

true river
#

redo dialogue, pain of dying

#

he doesn't really care for my pearl, he is pretty distracted by his own

sour zephyr
#

dang T-T

true river
#

i cannot blame him, it's a good pearl

sour zephyr

maybe ye

I wonder if the pearl implied taking from pebbles

I think I'm in your riv thread

I JUST SAW AN OVERSEER

INSIDE PEBBLES

BUT IT POOFED

Nah that was an underseer

I know I know, I only tease

true river
#

why are there plants from the sky islands in here?
Has pebbles already started partially collapsing or is the massive water intake the cause?

abstract vale

#

THE OVERSEER FLASHED A SYMBOL BUT I MISSED IT

#

hang on im looking back on the clip to see

abstract vale
#

The meow symbol

true river
#

i think it's just the hunter symbol, probs rot nearby

#

yes its def that

#

also why does this area sound funny

#

pebbles debating his life decisions

sour zephyr

#

the overseer also shows shelter symbol

#

what if the sky island plants aren't native, but grow as a result of rarefaction cells or similar iterator stuff, cuz im pretty sure sky islands functions as a communications array

sour zephyr
#

have you seen uhhhh what was the yellow one's name again?

i havent seen gerald sadly

oh wow, those look weird underwater

it makes sense though! the long lines of electricity make a rail

WHATS IT WITH EVERYONE AND CALLING ME A FCKN MOUSE

#

well then, i guess that's all for now, I'll come visit when I can

#

thankfully i can use the anti-gravity-gumball to jump my way out

#

to the access shaft

#

no gravity in the access shaft, that;s a first..

#

........way to solidify Pebbles giving up on his own life, he can no longer run his own systems, no longer the short rain cycles of him attempting to live

#

damn

#

oh btw

#

any suggestions on where i should make my hoard?

#

suddenly having longer cycles feels wrong as well

I'm sorry to say that that's not the case

That is true, but still sad

it's a painful existence, but i bring something for you

Larry watches lol, i think there's a second larry nearby as well

#

.....gurl

#

T-T
it's from pebbles, he sends his regards

I can sure try deliver it to a functional location

THERES A NEW CAS CAMPAIGN?

true river
#

yee

#

I have a suspicion of where the orb is supposed to go

#

I vaguely remember a subregion that was "the heart" or smth

#

that i found during my monk campaign but didnt fully explore because drowning is mean

timber siren
#

It is safe to click rivdevious

true river
#

....i suppose that works as well

#

it's so nice not drowning

#

creature

#

omg look at the detail...dont ask how I died

#

it's cool seeing the full body like that as not moving

#

Anyways

#

the detail of the cell exploding due to the force of the bite is cool

#

...............

#

RIVULET CAN DROWN??

#

bruh

#

i was just chilling underwater

#

eating the lime lights

#

and bam

#

death

#

very rude

fossil depot
true river
#

sad music :(

true river
#

shelmter

#

plus ominous music

#

heart, even sounds like one here

#

I wonder if iterators have literal, physical, beating hearts that they keep hidden

#

aaaand i drowned

#

great

#

didnt think i'd be drowning in this campaign

#

yet here i am

#

I FOUND DIS...and almost drowned in the process

#

using the cell to zoom even faster (somehow) is a big help

#

HELP STUCK

#

uhhh

#

that was

#

it started raining

#

which I assume is a good thing

#

means the cell activated

#

then there was a lot of spinning

#

then the room flooded

#

and then there was more spinning

#

and then i was washed awayy

#

i found a new shelter though!

granite field
#

You got there fast rivapprove

true river
#

it looks like the outer shell of the cell melted

#

and turned into this

#

it looks like void fluid

#

void fluid being golden is slightly weird though

#

now i just need to figure out where tf I am

#

I have snow breath! WHY IS IT SNOWING

#

DID I KILL MOON

#

this place is quite eerie, i hope Moon is okay

#

okay but seriously

true river
#

I JUST SAW A LIZARD

#

WITH HEAD FLUFF

#

the sounds here are unsettling, also that looks like an elevator

🌨️ ✨

true river
#

pretty

#

...is this the top of her structure?

#

Here be the clip of putting the cell back and said cell proceeding to melt. I wonder why I was weirdly fast towards the end.

true river
#

unsettling

#

I just wanna go see if Moon's okay T-T

#

ooo the inside of this shelter sounds like a fireplace...and the shelter doors sound like they struggle to close-

#

also, here's said lizard that looks like it has fluffy head, or some kind of horn

fossil depot
#

cute

true river
#

i wonder if these are the remains of moon's city?

#

still doesnt explain the snow

#

IT LOOKS SO GRUMPY AND CUTE

#

oooooooo

cerulean dove
#

I thought the orb gave me superpowers

true river
#

i just wanna go see Moon

#

I dont feel safe trying to climb up this

#

...

#

so much for trying to reach that

#

there doesnt appear to be much ther

#

other than the unlocks

#

omg fluffy shelter

#

....if I leave can I come back..?

timber siren
true river
#

passaging will work?

timber siren
#

Yuh

true river
#

okie dokie

#

sad though in a way, this place would've made a nice place for a hoard

#

WHY IS IT SNOWING OUTSIDE HERE TOO

#

also hi larry, how are ya

#

omg i can hear her systems functioning

#

am i crazy or has my timer not moved

#

.....

#

I will uhm, be back

#

I need to process

#

hehe

#

okay

#

uhm

#

Before I look back on my footage and analyse wtf just happened....
I'd just like to question what on earth just occurred.
Like????? MOON REACHED OUT TO PEBBL
Pebbles is uhm
If I go back is pebbles just gonna be ded?
He better not be...
AND MOON WAS FLYING AROUND AND TALKING TO US AND THERE WERE SCREEEENS AND SOOO MANY GERALDS AAAAA
GERALD ARMY MY PRECIOUS
AND THEN THE PEBBLES CUTSCENE AND THE MUSIC
The snow is concerning though...was the snow always there or was it a result of the rarefaction cell?
And of course we cannot forget how cute the ending art is for the title screeeen.
Moon looks so pretty
Anyways here's the score screen for y'all, the least murder in one of my runs like ever....that'll change. I wonder if Moon has unique pearl dialogue for riv...I really do hope so, but I don't think that'll be the case since there aren't extra slots in the collection..
One can dream?

#

It is overall quite sad, but didn't quite sit as deep as the Spearmaster ending

#

The only thing I can get from this though is:
"oh how the turned tables"

#

Like, look at her!!! SHE'S FLYING!!! It's so cool to see her mechanical arm thing functioning

#

another thing, she definitely feels a lot more expressive in movement compared to Pebbles
(little larry in the corner hehe)

#

and she called me sleek!

#

at least Moon doesn't call me a rodent

#

The projection here is quite blurry, I think the overseers just started throwing info at Moon once they got the oppertunity to

#

it might be a waterfall, or maybe silhouettes

#

This one just looks like the sun

#

AND THEN THERE'S MEEEE

#

and, like I said, very expressive with her puppet

true river
#

Good morning, sunshine

#

This looks like a projection of neurons

#

SERIOUSLY??
I didn't even notice that at the time LMAOOOO

#

I can't get over how cool it is to see Moon move around

#

fancy diagrams! I recall seeing this with Pebbles in another campaign

#

I have no idea what it means, probably something to do with what ties a living thing to being living

#

indeed, a lot has happened

true river
#

It's nice to have Moon remember and have semi-reliable sources that isn't a soggy slugcat

#

The Geralds rn seem to be displaying empty projections. The background projection is quite interesting though. A message! Or multiple, the main one open seems to be from No Significant Harassment (as shown by the green and diamonds symbols). I don't speak iterator but it looks like it is talking about Hunter. Perhaps an explanation of Hunter's purpose?
On the lower right might be unopened messages: 2 from No Significant Harassment, 1 from Seven Red Suns, and then a orange and grey symbol. Possibly from Chasing Wind and Unparalleled Innocence?

#

I wonder if those symbols are their forehead symbols, possible clues as to the colour schemes of their puppets?

#

Rivulet is likely a messenger of sorts as well. The overseer projection right now could be a visual representation of the slag reset keys, since she is talking about them right now. I wonder if these messages were stored within the keys for Moon to read and she was only able to do so now.

#

IF riv is a messanger, it could imply that the others out there are still standing and going strong

#

If it weren't for Pebbles' uhm, thing, I think he'd be doing pretty well as well.

#

Moon hanging upside down xD
But yeah, Pebbles barely breathing. I think rain cycles function similarly to uh breathing "cycles"
It would explain how the rain cycles weren't as hectic once we removed the cell.
Must be difficult to see all that's occured since you were last able to be able to tell what was going on around you.

#

And likely in pain, I wonder how much of his structure he is still able to feel, or if perhaps the damage has allowed him to become numb to at least some of it.
He'd be too stubborn to admit he's afraid, no?

#

When Pebbles talks about Moon, he always called her an old friend, never once as a sister.

#

Does he dislike the concept of being a brother, or is it just a painful memory for him

#

Ah yes, the realisation. He must've coded some message into the cell. So the orange symbol must belong to him! It isn't what his forehead looks like though....
The bottom right symbols changed slightly. Pebbles' supposed symbol has become greyed out, possibly indicating the message being read? If that's the case the previous greyed out symbol would return to colour...which it has to blue, but it isn't a message from NSH which the one being read at the time was...? eh

#

Also reiterates (pun not indended) that Pebbles is dead or dying, I wonder if he'll collapse, or if he has

#

the forehead symbol theory goes out the window for now at least, perhaps it's just a symbol to represent an Iterator for cases like communication symbols, some just choose to have it marked on them?

#

Projection here just seems to show the outside, perhaps trying to look at Pebbles' structure since that's where the topic is right now?

#

I wonder if the reason Moon sits down now is because she feels emotional.
And I do agree, I don't think he's angry anymore, I think he's just given up and accepted his unfortunate (ha, get it?) fate

#

"none of this would be possible"
I assume you mean by him giving up his cell

#

You deserve better

#

A cut to a communications array (I WAS RIGHT) on top of moon's structure.
A forced broadcast, I wonder if she did it because Pebbles doesn't respond or his systems are too broken to have him accept a signal. Either way, he doesn't respond.
If he could, I wonder if he would.
Moon approaches the conversation in quite a formal manner...if you can even call it a conversation

#

A cut to the Garbage wastes, was this a communications array too? Is this cut just for scenery or is Moon using multiple (or attempting to make multiple) connections?
Was this communications array always there or did it fall from pebbles' structure when he once attempted to shed the rot...unlikely it would be functional then.
Also thankfully (hopefully) proves it isn't snowing everywhere. Why is it snowing on Moon's structure? Is it the cold? I think somewhere something said that Iterator rains warm the world, so it being cold on her structure (and with it likely being quite high up) it snow....will the snow eventually disappear? Is Moon strong enough to produce rains in this state, would her rains be strong enough? I do find it strange that Pebbles' rains aren't enough to warm her structure...but maybe they are just that far enough apart.
Where am I going with this again-

uh
right

I wonder if the backgrounds could be more symbolic rather than Moon actually using various different arrays?
The first scene with the top her her structure and her arrays, where she basically introduces herself, her state, and what she remembers.
The second scene, she directly addresses pebbles and asks him for any possible way to contact him. The garbage wastes, Pebbles' first attempt(?) at getting rid of the rot, a ruined landscape that has gotten pretty scarred with time (compared to the other regions).

# true river am i crazy or has my timer not moved

oh! Speaking of Moon being able to produce rain in her state, why wasn't it raining, like why did this timer stop? Was it an intentional thing so it didnt rain during the scene? Or was Moon literally holding her breath? Perhaps an attempt to make sure she didnt wash us away....the cell being activated did cause very sudden rain (a gasp for air after a long time?). When we were washed out far enough the timer regained a few pips, is it possible for an iterator to hold back rain for just a bit?
I wonder how much Moon thought of our wellbeing (if at all).

Maybe it has nothing to do with being considerate of us. Perhaps we were washed away by the rain and by some miracle didnt drown, and just remained passed out for a while into the next cycle until it was almost the end of it

#

Can it rain on top of her structure? Does it snow? I should make some thorough exploration of that place.

#

The fluffy lizards likely indicate it was quite cold up there for a while, long enough for them to evolve fluff...or maybe all lizards can grow fluff, they just dont until they are cold.

The symbolism of sky islands, iykyk. I ain't spoiling.
Moon is too kind, but I guess after all this time she would want to speak to someone that isn't a slug. I can see her missing Pebbles quite a lot, even after all he has done. I am planning on going to see how Pebbles is holding up soon

#

Perhaps I can deliver some pearls between them

true river
#

And then some art of Pebbles, listening to his pearl (FCKN SAD MUSIC AH). His chamber is dark and dull.
Quite interesting. I've seen a lot of ways iterator anatomy is interpreted, whether it be official ingame art or fan art. Slugcat art also seems to differ ingame. I've seen some art where the amount of fingers on the slugcats changes, so I guess a lot of anatomy in the art itself is up to interpretation.
His umbilicle (i think thats what its called, yeah?), it looks like the feather dusters! I find it facinating...I always thought those wires connected to the back of their heads, but it seems it goes under their cloak and into their back. Same with the mechanical arm and just going under the cloak, i thought they would've made a hole in the cloak for it.

#

The lighting up, forced broadcast from Moon? Shiny.
I find his face amusing. I would think iterators are capable of slight expression with the shape of their eyes, but this situation wouldn't call for much, just wide-eyed. Is he shocked that the "wet mouse" did it? Is he at a loss for words?
Some graffiti and overseer stuff from Arti's campaign suggest Pebbles has facial markings which he does not have at the moment...or never has for the duration of our campaigns.
I wonder if Iterators can choose to remove their markings or if Pebbles just wore the iterator equivalent to makeup for a while.
His cloak looks cozy.

#

Moon looks happy. It's this art that leads me to believe they are capable of slight expression with their eyes. She looks so pretty

Is pebbles sending info via larry??? HUNTERRR!!!

I wonder if larry works for moon now

its not fine, but okay, I'll see you soon, Imma go check on pebbs

I'm also likely gonna make my hoard shelter the one above her

depending on how I feel, I might make 2 shelters

one for coloured pearls, one for white

#

i uhm, oh dear

what can I say, I tend to exceed expectations

you're welcome

Finally xD

#

hmm, bit too late of a realisation, no?

that is true, even i can sit here with you for a bit

#

what's with all the overseers

#

i wonder if moon is trying to communicate with him

#

omg

#

the overseers can grab onto the neurons

#

....oh mb

#

would he mind if I took some to Moon?

true river
#

oop, I didnt even drop it, she just took it, how interesting

#

neuron accepted!

okay :(

slugcat messaging highways maybe

that's sad

i was also just scolded for touching her neurons out of curiosity

where is Unparalleled Innocence mentioned? I know I've heard the name before but I didn't see it going back through my pearls?

I wonder what this is

Suspicious pearl

#

#

I wonder if they are talking to eachother

#

funny diet the old inhabitants had

#

tbh I am not fully motivated to go get all the coloured pearls again]

#

i am way more interested in white pearls these days

#

they are more unpredictable and likely to have new info

#

plus, with my newfound speed I might just steal pebbles' pearls

#

he doesn't seem to be using them-

#

My pearl collection is almost full as well, I've discovered all pearls except for one

#

which I am pretty certain it's the one from hunter's campaign not registering bc i did it in vanilla

#

also some sky island pearls are unread because of the dlc being weird

#

so i might go yoink those as well

#

but it feels wrong not trying to collected the coloured pearls

#

i cannot deny the sense of pride when sitting in a pile of colourful spheres

true river
#

is it safe for me to look at what rwscs riv has?

fossil depot
#

let me see

#

i think so but i want to make sure

#

the riv exclusive ones are
poseidon (reveals creature names but you’ve met all of them)
odyssey (safe)
reverent (hell but safe)

true river
#

damn

#

reverent indeed looks like it would be hell

#

shhh im just here to steal your pearls, dw about me

after being an idiot and falling into a pit in shaded

I think I'm going to try odyssey

it sounds fun

plus i didn't truely get to experience the short cycles for too long because of how I sped around

as the fool who did it first, and wrong, I highly agree

wdym?

I started riv with odyssey, and I misunderstood what one of the things you need so I got the wrong passage and had to backtrack XD

anyways, Let's see how long this takes me

a hat for the journey, not that there's much sun

#

see if you can finnish it before I wake up

Drainage -> Garbage -> Shoreline -> Submerged Structure -> Shoreline -> Shaded -> Exterior -> The Rot -> Exterior -> Chimneys -> Sky -> Pipeyard -> Industrial -> Outskirts -> Arrays -> Subterrain

#

that's my planned route

#

I just got survivor and I plan to meet each echo as I pass them

#

I'm debating the rot, i might just enter, exit though the same gate, and then head up via underhang then wall to harass the echo, i have little memory of where to go through the rot lol

true river
#

bruh those were never this high before

#

OMG THERE ARE ELECTRIC CENZTIPEDES HERE

#

much water

#

i mean, ig it makes sense, but all the lower half to shoreline is flooded and aint receeding for quite a while

#

i keep almost drowning lol

#

.....is it normally this flooded or is it just because of the flood cycle

#

half the cycle is gone and it's still flooded, damn

#

.....

#

maybe shoreline is flooded like that bc the cell hasnt been removed yet

#

ah

#

the water receeds once the flood is over

#

it just takes a while

#

i should really wait for the flood to stop before i attempt going down to submerged structrue-

#

...but now the flood cycle doesnt flood the pipes...?? wtf

#

anyways, i made it

#

.....you can go quite fast when holding onto a frog

#

i wonder if it'd be useful using a frog like I did the rarecell to get into the "city"

#

question, do y'all remember when some of us played meadow together and y'all said riv wasn't allowed because of spoileys

#

what was it that riv could do that was considered a spoiler

abstract vale
#

Rivs existence I guess (idk)

#

The rarefaction cell perhaps

#

But like. I think that's limited to riv

#

I don't think I really understood the rule either

simple elm
#

Maybe just saving the true extent of its speed as a discovery for later? That's my best guess.

#

Unless you mean the campaign itself, which would definitely be spoily of course monksilly
