BUP's DnD Game

BUP's DnD Game refers to a Dungeons and Dragons campaign hosted by BUP in 2020. This campaign was a canon event that intertwined with various other storylines and featured heavy player involvement. It was played through the John Discord Server with the help of a Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) related Discord bot.

Summary

On January 17th, 2020, BUP challenged the players to a game. He proceeded to ask the player Slinky several strange questions - the answers of which led to the creation of Slinky's player character, Sam the Genasi. After this, BUP linked the players to a new Discord Server simply named John.

Session 1

As the game began, Slinky's character Sam was introduced as a Luna occultist exploring Ruskunne. Sam quickly died due to inhaling some dangerous toxic fog. BUP revealed every time a player character died in the story, one of the Timeline Arcs found on the Johnisdead Wiki would be deleted. This was contextualized within the DnD game as a curse that was placed upon Sam's people's library which was perpetually burning.

Sam enters a market. Here, it's revealed that Sam is on a quest given to him by "The Father". He encounters a jester who asks if he'd like to hear a riddle or a ruse. Sam chooses riddle, resulting in a psychedelic sequence where the jester gives him a riddle. Sam correctly answers with "A map", resulting in the jester breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging the player Slinky. He also rips off his face, revealing another face beneath. After this, a vertical line is carved into Sam's arm, inflicting him with damage each turn during combat.

Sam enters a nearby temple belonging to an order called the Inquisitorius Penitus. Here, it's revealed that Sam is a member of an opposing group known as the Lunar Children. Despite this, Sam takes respite in the temple. Here, he meets Greth of Ruskunne - a version of Greth that acts as a priest of sorts for the Inquisitorius Penitus. Greth proceeds to give Sam a tour of the temple - mainly various relief shrines that depict the order's history.

The first relief shrine originally depicted the group's creation. Unfortunately, it had been destroyed long ago by an unknown assailant. The next shrine depicted an era that Greth was familiar with - one in which the group fought against the Lunar Children. During this era, the founding member of the Inquisitorius Penitus was quiet important and the overall focus of the group's efforts. The next shrine depicted the aforementioned founding member of the Inquisitorius Penitus being captured. The final shrine depicted an ancient castle - one that held various spirits. The Inquisitorius Penitus supposedly wished to reclaim this castle.

Greth explained that the Inquisitorius Penitus opposes the Lunar Children because of the ever-present threat of the Calamity of Luna - an event that threatens to destroy the world. Sam is led to a room within the temple and goes to sleep. Here, he experiences a dream featuring the Elegy Statue and gains another cut in his arm. Upon waking up, Sam finds himself in a dense forest. He now has a purple crescent-shaped medallion that allows the player Slinky to swap out with another player. Sam hears a scream and is led to a lake. Here, he's almost pulled underwater by an unknown entity. As he flees from the lake, one of the cuts on his arm begins to close. When he returns to the lake, it re-opens.

Sam is then attacked by a creature simply called "??". Sam manages to defeat it, though this only results in it transforming into a black sludge-like substance. As the sludge takes over his body, the "??" creature morphs into a man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a goatee.

Sam awakens from yet another dream. He's now a student about to leave for highschool. Upon boarding a school bus, Sam sees that Tyler sits at the front whereas Erik sits at the back. He also discovers that he has necklace in his pocket - this one is colored green and similar to the medallion. Sam attempts to sit next to Erik but is unable to spark up conversation with him. He checks his phone and finds a text from YUGIMOTO asking about a package. Reality starts to break down as Sam begins hearing messages sent in the Discord server in his head. Sam is suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy as his necklace begins vibrating.

Sam is warped to the Astral Observatory. Here, he discovers three different Dream Bubbles - each containing the three different worlds or dreams that he had just experienced. It seems as though the Astral Observatory was acting as a hub-world as sorts. Sam hears Yuukichan speak in the distance before accidentally entering into another Dream Bubble. This one takes him to a dark forest near a highway.

At this point, the player Slinky has to leave. BUP allows the player Xenquility to create his own character and take over. Xenquility is asked several strange questions like Slinky was, resulting in the creation of the character Max. The session starts up once again. Max is in Ruskunne, though now in a land that seems devout to Luna. He enters a town and meets Innsman Greth - a version of Greth that runs an inn. Innsman Greth warns Max that a dangerous fog is about to roll into town. He also warns that the Inquisitorius Penitus, also known as "I D of ----------", will soon be attacking.

Max leaves the inn and is attacked by "???" - an entity made of void with glowing eyes and a pointed hood. Yuukichan appears across the street and tells the players to find the "idol". Max damages "???", causing its head to split in two. "???" then does a special move that causes the ground to break open. However, Max manages to escape.

Session 2

The second session began a few days later on January 20th. BUP asked the players if they wished to continue the game. After saying yes, Yuukichan briefly spoke to the players, telling them about a pathway and a statue. She told them that they must find the dream that resides within her. The game is suddenly paused as BUP asks the players if they wish to "Deliver the package". Wolfcat repeatedly answers no. BUP then asks if the players would like to break the cycle. Upon answering yes, their player character obtains a Silver Raven Figurine.

The game recommences with the player Xenquility once again taking on the role of Max. Max is once again in a foggy field in Ruskunne. However, they quickly realize that the Silver Raven Figurine possesses a rune that's keeping the dangerous fog at bay. This rune is shaped like an Amiibo symbol. Max spots a human-shaped figure in the fog but is unable to approach them before they repeatedly disperse. An entity named "?" warns Max that they are far away from where they began. "?" then tells Max to bring "it" out of here, warning that many "seek your prize".

Max's surroundings suddenly darken. They begin hearing mysterious sounds in the distance and spot the silhouette of a child. Two glowing eyes appear on the child as Max presumably dies. Xenquility chooses to use the Silver Raven Statue to save himself. Yuuki asks if he's sure. Before he can answer, a raven-shaped light exits the figurine and enters into Max's body, forcing out the child-shaped entity, implying that the child-shaped entity was attempting to possess Max. The figurine falls to the ground and absorbs the nearby darkness, infecting it. Regardless, Max is saved and BUP informs the players that the cycle has been restored.

Session 3

On January 22nd, the third session began. The players were asked if they wished to continue the game. Upon answering yes, they were asked why. The player Xenquility said that they hoped to obtain some answers. The individual asking the question claims that they don't have any answers - they only know what they're destined to know. They introduce themselves as Munnin - the Silver Raven Statue. Munnin has become corrupted due to the darkness absorbed into the figurine in the previous session. Xenquility apologizes for this but Munnin tells them not to worry and instead focus on the future.

Munnin tells the players that they must follow Yuukichan and keep her safe. They warn that various entities are hunting her down and that her shrine must be brought to the players' world. When asked if this poses and danger, Munnin claims that it's only dangerous to whoever carries the shrine. Also, the players will require a special tool to unlock the shrine - something connected to the Amiibo-shaped rune.

Munnin warns the players that the stories and scenes witnessed within the DnD sessions are not "truth" - they are just memories, reflections, and dreams of those who "haunt these realms". Munnin explains that their sole purpose is to protect Yuukichan and that they themselves are the goal and prize of the DnD Sessions. They explain that the DnD sessions as a whole are a "test" by BUP.

Session 4

The fourth session began on January 24th. Munnin asks the players if they wish to continue the game and warn that multiple players will be required to proceed. The player OtherLiam joins Xenquility, being given his own character named Flint. Meanwhile, Xenquility continues with the character Max.

Max and Flint are in a damp forest surrounded by fog. They once again attempt to use the Silver Raven Statue to ward it off, but its light is now far weaker than it was before. As they proceed through the woods, they happen upon the Great Deku Tree from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The interior of the Great Deku Tree mirrors the layout of the dungeon of the same name from that game. BUP reveals that its said that a relic of great power resides somewhere within the Great Deku Tree.

They come across a large hole in the center of the floor covered by a thick spiderweb. Flint uses his Alchemist's Fire to burn it away, revealing a fairly long drop. They turn away and begin making their way up the interior of the tree instead. Here, they find a chest containing a map of the dungeon. Above the chest on the wall are five spider-like creatures. Max shoots at them, killing one and wounding another. As the four remaining spiders approach, Flint casts a fear spell, causing three of them to retreat.

The approaching spider encases Max in some webbing but he quickly manages to break free. It then begins chasing Flint, allowing Max to strike it, killing it. One of the other spiders returns but is quickly destroyed by both Flint and Max. After this, the session is suddenly paused by Munnin who claims that the players must wait for the "enemy" to disappear.

Session 5

On February 3rd, the fifth and final session began. Munnin asks the players if they wish to continue. Upon answering yes, Max and Flint find themselves in the Great Deku Tree where the previous session left off. The two notice a trail of blocky tracks leading towards a chest. Suddenly, the dungeon begins changing around them in a psychedelic sequence. BUP's messages are interrupted as The Producer takes over the session. Max and Flint are now once again on the school bus with Tyler and Erik from the first session.

Max and Flint decide to sit next to Tyler. Each action the players choose is accompanied with a comic panel drawn in the style of Wolfcat's old webcomic "Weenie-Licked". Tyler is initially put off by Max and Flint's odd appearances. They claim that they're simply cosplaying, putting Tyler at ease. Tyler goes on to ramble about various anime conventions and stories associated with them. The school bus stops as Tyler gets up to leave, bidding Max and Flint farewell.

Max and Flint head towards the back of the bus to sit with Erik but instead find only a bottle and a "Nine of Clubs" playing card. Upon touching the bottle, the game ends. The players then begin chatting with The Producer in what appears to be his office. He gives the players some words of encouragement but is quickly cut off by BUP. BUP reveals that the rune found on the Silver Raven Statue was indeed meant to be representative of an Amiibo.

[5:05 PM] Slinky: "if im not too far away i can make a run to win some time before the darkness takes over"
[5:06 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Sam decides that perhaps cutting down on time is only feasibly done by increasing his travel from a steady walk into a light sprint."
[5:06 PM] SHADOWLINK: "Would Sam like to push himself into a run?"

[5:24 PM] Pako: "wich task?"
[5:24 PM] SHADOWLINK: "The Father: "You must seek her out, my child", the warm echoes of his voice, still ringing in your ear."
[5:27 PM] Slinky: "Look arround and identify the sorroundings of the town"
[5:27 PM] SHADOWLINK: "The town is somewhat sparse. There is not much of a gate to speak of, and the buildings that one can see seem to be few and far between. There are homesteads connected to farms and plantations further beyond the business district."

[5:28 PM] Slinky: "ok"
[5:28 PM] Slinky: "Sam goes to the business district seeking for people"
[5:30 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Sam the Genasi, acolyte of Luna, makes his way to the business district of Ruskunne.

A mournful sounding song begins to pick up in volume in the space between reality and time, the world of dreams, shaking his cranium with the tenacity needed to give concussions. The track is clicking, like it's in the reverse. The face of the doll child screems, lips unmoving. It forces a hand into Sam's mouth, he is unable to react. Two fingers slide down his throat, burying into his stomach, planting roots. He can feel the spread of evil erupting within."

You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table."

You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 ft. of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll. "

Summary

• SHADOWLINK introduces the player's character as Sam the Genasi - a Luna cultist exploring Ruskunne.
• Sam is killed when he accidentally inhales some toxic fog. This results in the player's timeline of the first arc of Johnisdead being deleted. SHADOWLINK explains that the Library of Sam's people is cursed and burning, and each time the players' character dies, more is lost.
• Sam's mission was given to him by one known as The Father
• Sam enters a market and speaks to a Jester. The Jester asks if Sam is interested in either a ruse or a riddle. The players choose riddle, which results in them entering a psychedelic realm wherein they are asked "I have countries, states, mountains, oceans, but I lack houses, trees, fish and people. I am?". The players correctly answer with "A map".
• The Jester acknowledges the player Slinky directly before peeling off his own face, revealing another unknown face beneath it. A vertical line is cut into Sam's arm before the Jester departs. This causes Sam to take two slashing every round during combat.
• Sam enters a temple and meets Greth or Ruskunne, who is wearing a dark green robe. Sam is given a tour of the temple belonging to an order known as Inquisitorius Penitus.
Sam is first shown a relief shrine depicting the beginning of Greth's order, which has long since been broken by an unknown assailant.
Sam is next shown a relief shrine depicting the order in the era Greth is familiar with it, explaining that they were in opposition to a heretical religious order known as the Lunar Children. Greth mentions that one member of Inquisitorius Penitus in particular was pivotal in his order's creation and was the focus of their efforts in this era.
Sam is shown the next relief shrine, which featured the aforementioned pivotal member of Inquisitorius Penitus being captured by the Lunar Children.
Sam is shown the next relief shrine, which depicts a sacred, ancient castle that had become lost. Greth explains that the Inquisitorius Penitus wished to reclaim said castle and the spirits that dwelled within.
• Greth explains that the Inquisitorius Penitus opposes the Lunar Children due to Patrem and the Calamity of Luna which threatens the world.
• Sam sleeps in a room at the temple. He has a nightmare about the Elegy Statue and gains a second line cut into his arm.
• Sam wakes up from his dream. He is now in a dense forest. He discovers a medallion with a purple crescent shape that allows for switching players. The players choose to continue with their current setup, however.
• Sam comes across a lake after hearing someone scream in the forest. He is pulled into the water by an unknown creature, but manages to escape.
• As Sam gets further away from the lake, the second cut in his arm begins to close. Once he approaches it again, the wound re-opens. Another scream is heard and Sam is attacked by a creature simply known as "??".
• Sam manages to defeat the "??" creature, but he is overtaken by a black sludge substance. As the sludge is covering his body, Sam notices that the creature he was fighting begins to take a human shape. The creature has blonde hair, blue eyes, and a goatee. A third line is then cut into Sam's arm.
• Sam wakes up once again, with the entire previous session supposedly being a dream itself. Sam is now a student late for high school.
• Sam boards a school bus. A tired student named Tyler sits at the front of the bus, while another student named Erik sits at the back wearing a hat while playing a Nintendo DS.
• Sam discovers a necklace in his pocket. Much like the medallion, this necklace features a crescent shape, though this one is green.
• Sam gets a text message from someone named YUGIMOTO asking about a package.
• Sam attempts to speak with Erik, but he is nervous and ignores them.
• Sam's reality begins to break down. Time seems to no longer exist, and he begins to hear the player's messages in the Discord server.
• Sam is attacked by an unknown attacker. He manages to stab them before the necklace begins vibrating.
• Players check the necklace. Sam is then warped to the Astral Observatory - a hub world where they can choose between three different Dream Bubbles. These bubbles are as follows:
I - Sam of the Lunar Children exploring Ruskunne.
II - Sam in the forest with the lake.
III - Sam on the bus going to high school.
• Sam hears Yuukichan call out in the Astral Observatory. Before they can investigate, however, they happen upon yet another dream sphere. This one warps Sam into a dark forest near a highway.
• The player Slinky has to leave. The players are given the option to choose a new player. The player Xenquility takes over, creating a new character named Max.
• Max is an elf spending the night at an Inn owned by "Innsman Greth". Greth informs him that a dangerous fog is about to roll into town, after which some rebel group is going to attack. The land Max is currently in seems to be aligned with Luna.
• The world Max currently resides in appears to be the I dream sphere - the land containing Ruskunne. It is revealed that the rebel group attacking the town is actually the Inquisitorius Penitus, which is also supposedly known as the "I D of ----------".
• Upon leaving the inn, Max is attacked by an entity named "???". This entity seems to be made of void, and it has two white glowing eyes placed upon a pointed hood-like shape.
• Yuukichan begins speaking to the players, informing them they need to "find the idol". Max then spots Yuukichan across the street, who runs away.
• Max attacks the entity, causing its head to split in half. The entity then performs a special move that splits open the earth, devouring everything in sight, but Max manages to escape. The campaign is then saved and placed on pause.

[1:44 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: There is indeed a fog. The fog tends to close in around you, covering most of your view... until you realize something on your person is creating a small amount of light."
[1:45 PM] Xenquility: "If it's the raven, use it"
[1:46 PM] Xenquility: "Otherwise, still take ie out"
[1:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: It is indeed, or rather, there is a small rune on the bottom side of the raven that is exerting a magic torchlight. This luminescence would be mistaken for white, but if one pays attention to the outer edges of the dispersing rays, they would note they actually change colors. This light cuts a path through the fog."
[1:50 PM] Xenquility: "What does the rune look like?"
[1:56 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The rune's edges are slightly worn away, and it is difficult to see in the light. There are six points and some symbol in the center."
[1:57 PM] Xenquility: "Hm. Is this the road to ruskunne, the one outside the forest, or one entirely new?"
[2:04 PM] SHADOWLINK: "((An image titled "rune.png" is sent))"
[2:06 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As far as you can see, you are unaware of your current surroundings. The visibility does not extend much further than ten meters."

[2:33 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The fog stays silent."
[2:34 PM] Xenquility: "Slowly approach, an attack still at the ready"
[2:36 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As you slowly approach the outline of the creature, you recognize the form to be human in shape. As you enter the area where the fog would lift away, however, the form disappears with the mist."
[2:37 PM] Xenquility: "Keep looking around in the fog"
[2:38 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The image of the same creature appears away from you, at the same distance when you first spotted it."
[2:39 PM] Xenquility: "Try approaching again"
[2:40 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Just as before, as you approach the area of fog where the person seemingly stands in wait, they vanish with the mist."
[2:41 PM] Xenquility: "Hm"
[2:42 PM] Xenquility: "Try approaching with the raven in front of me"
[2:43 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The mist in front of you parts quicker, but just as before, you continue your trek with this figure ever on the edge of your vision, lurking."
[2:46 PM] Xenquility: "Huh"
[2:48 PM] Xenquility: "I could always try putting the raven away, but that would risk death"
[2:49 PM] Xenquility: "If, and only If it's possible without death, put the raven away right before they disappear. If I begin to die, pull it back out"

Summary

• The players begin loading their game from the previous conversation. Yuukichan speaks briefly, "can you hear me? The pathway state you must find the dream within myself, the pathway is through the ---"
• The players are repeatedly asked if they wish to ">Deliver the package?". The player Wolfcat declines several times, claiming nothing good is inside it. They players are then asked if they wish to break the cycle. They answer yes.
• The current player is Xenquility, controlling the character Max once again. Max discovers a figurine of a raven in their pocket. This is revealed to be a "Figurine of Wondrous Power (Silver Raven)" - a magical figurine that can transform into a friendly, speaking, raven ally. (Link).
• The campaign begins once again. Max is travelling along a foggy world. The message "IIII" is sent. There is a thick fog, but a rune on the bottom of the raven figurine is emitting a light. This rune is actually the Nintendo Amiibo logo.
• An unknown entity begins speaking to the players in the mist. It simply goes by "?" and claims that "MANY SEEK YOUR PRIZE.".
• The area around Max becomes incredibly dark. Max hears disturbing sounds and sees the silhouette of a child.
• Max seemingly dies after seeing the "child". The player Xenquility attempts to use the raven figurine to save Max, to which Yuukichan asks "are you sure?".
• The raven figurine releases a light that enters Max. The figurine then absorbs all of the nearby darkness. The players are told "The dark energy has infected the figurine" and that the "cycle" has been restored.

Summary

• The players are asked if they wish to continue the game. The player Xenquility answers yes. The corrupted raven statue then begins speaking to him, asking about the players' goals. The raven formally introduces himself as Munnin.
• Munnin informs the players they must save Yuukichan, which will lead them to their ultimate goal. He claims that the players must follow Yuukichan and keep her safe.
• Munin reiterates that this DnD campaign is a "twisted test" by SHADOWLINK.
• Munin claims that he is both the goal and the prize - he is a "shrine" of sorts that the players must move over into the real world. Once this is accomplished, they can use the rune from the previous conversation - the Nintendo Amiibo symbol - to "enter" him and save Yuukichan.

Summary

• The players are asked by Munin if they wish to continue the game. They answer yes. This time around, it is required that two players participate simultaneously to proceed. The players Xenquility and otherLiam begin playing with the characters Max and Flint respectively.
• Max and Flint find themselves in a dense forest with a thick fog. Due to the presence of the fog, it's likely this is the first dream bubble - the land of Ruskunne.
• Max and Flint come across a massive tree. It is revealed that within this tree is a magical artifact that calls travellers into the mysterious woods the two adventurers are currently lost within.
• Max and Flint enter the massive tree. Based off of the interior, it is revealed that this tree is actually the Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time, and its layout within this campaign is identical to its dungeon appearance in Ocarina of Time.
• Max and Flint find a massive hole in the floor of the Deku Tree. The hole is covered by a thick web, which they manage to burn away. Instead of jump down into a pit of water, however, the two decide to scale the tree's inner walls.
• Max and Flint come across a chest containing a map of the Deku Tree. There are several spider enemies surrounding it on the wall, representative of the Skullwalltulla enemies from Ocarina of Time.
• Max and Flint defeat several Skullwalltulla enemies before proceeding further up the tree's inner walls. The game is suddenly paused.

[12:06 AM] ReturnedFaith: "((The image "009.png" is sent))"
[12:06 AM] Xenquility: "Max inspects both the bottle and the card"

[12:24 AM] ReturnedFaith: "((The image "010.png" is sent))"
[12:24 AM] ReturnedFaith: "The card is a plain looking "Nine of Clubs". It doesn't appear to be special in any way."

[12:32 AM] ReturnedFaith: "im just loafing atm"
[12:32 AM] ReturnedFaith: "and why not so great"
[12:33 AM] Xenquility: "because we're in a similar position as to when we last spoke to you"
[12:33 AM] otherLiam: "we still dont really know anything about what’s goin on"
[12:33 AM] otherLiam: "and things have only gotten more complex"
[12:33 AM] ReturnedFaith: "ah"
[12:33 AM] ReturnedFaith: "thats understandable"
[12:33 AM] ReturnedFaith: "but you know what they say"
[12:33 AM] otherLiam: "so yknow the usual"
[12:33 AM] Xenquility: "and yes we probably on a technical scale have the information to put together but the really hard part is understanding which is correct"
[12:33 AM] Xenquility: "as in"
[12:34 AM] ReturnedFaith: "when youre putting together a puzzle, the middle is always the hardest"
[12:34 AM] Xenquility: "which idea we come up with is correct"
[12:34 AM] ReturnedFaith: "at least i think thats something someone probably says"
[12:34 AM] ReturnedFaith: "maybe"
[12:34 AM] otherLiam: "and also what of the information we have is actually real"
[12:34 AM] ReturnedFaith: "your journey isnt over yet"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "there's still things left to discover"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "i dont mean like"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "right at this moment"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "just that maybe you dont have 100% of the pieces to everything"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "despite having the puzzle"
[12:35 AM] ReturnedFaith: "like a puzzle with microtransactions"
[12:36 AM] otherLiam: "this cosmic mystery brought to you by EA"
[12:36 AM] ReturnedFaith: "basically what im saying is that every puzzle has an endstate and a solution"
[12:36 AM] ReturnedFaith: "even if it does not seem apparent at first"
[12:36 AM] ReturnedFaith: "this is my erethral pep talk to you"
[12:37 AM] Xenquility: "okay"

[12:37 AM] ReturnedFaith: "ive been hard at yes"
[12:37 AM] ReturnedFaith: "i mean work"
[12:37 AM] Xenquility: "would you honestly say that we would be able to solve the puzzle at this current time"
[12:37 AM] otherLiam: "is this game your creation?"
[12:38 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I guess you could say that nothing is purely "my" creation"
[12:38 AM] ReturnedFaith: "though i did most of the heavy lifting the past hour"
[12:38 AM] ReturnedFaith: "but as for the rest of it, I've been watching"
[12:39 AM] otherLiam: "I’m a little surprised it was continued. BUP seemed kinda mad about revealing info to us."
[12:39 AM] ReturnedFaith: "he's a spicy one"
[12:40 AM] ReturnedFaith: "to say the least"
[12:40 AM] otherLiam: "Honestly, if there were any pieces to the puzzle we’d like to have right now, it’s probably just knowing the basics about all the folks we’ve met in the last few months."
[12:40 AM] ReturnedFaith: "also if you were referring to my "magnum dongus" production, no this was not it"
[12:40 AM] otherLiam: "y’all just kinda showed up and started fuckin with us"
[12:40 AM] Xenquility: "bup is a vague asshole"
[12:41 AM] Xenquility: "<3"
[12:41 AM] otherLiam: "and now our main objective got kinda derailed into figuring yall out"

[12:42 AM] ReturnedFaith: "though I can tell you this"

[12:44 AM] otherLiam: "whatever that means"
[12:44 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I work alongside SHADOWLINK"

[12:50 AM] ReturnedFaith: "no more than any of you all"
[12:50 AM] otherLiam: "so, yes then."
[12:51 AM] ReturnedFaith: "on a basic level"
[12:51 AM] Xenquility: "i think that was a hint towards the fact she may just be one of us"
[12:51 AM] Xenquility: "but who the fuck knows anymore"
[12:51 AM] Xenquility: "lines between realities are so blurred at thiis point"
[12:51 AM] ReturnedFaith: "she is a detective"
[12:51 AM] ReturnedFaith: "who happens to speak over the internet"
[12:52 AM] otherLiam: "unfortunately that doesnt really rule out anything"
[12:52 AM] ReturnedFaith: "she shouldnt have done that"

[1:00 AM] otherLiam: "also "don’t know how you haven’t gotten that yet""
[1:01 AM] otherLiam: "yes clearly the cursed talking raven statue is actually a 5.99 licensed nintendo product for use with licensed nintendo games"
[1:03 AM] Xenquility: "lmao okay sorry i dont spend my money on irl microtransactions enough to recognize it"
[1:03 AM] otherLiam: "sorry my guy, not all of us play with toys."
