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.

[5:01 PM] Slinky: "the great purge"

[5:02 PM] Slinky: "can i know somehow how far away im from my destination?"

[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: "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. The closest gathering of free-standing huts seems to be here to indicate a market, but compared to even some of the rural ones you've seen, this is somewhat barren. There are a few stalls of trade worth noting, and a temple of prayer."
[5:30 PM] Slinky: "yes yes YESSSS"

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."

[8:30 PM] Xenquility: "it's just the journal thing that makes me think SKM"
[8:30 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Peering out the window, he can see a fog rolling into town."
[8:30 PM] Xenquility: "Alright so last time the fog killed us"
[8:31 PM] Xenquility: "And I have no clue if Fey Ancestry would save us here"
[8:31 PM] ARGdov: "hey, DM, we good?"

[8:36 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The individual on the other side is human, of average build and height, maybe a little portly. Long hair is tied back, and a short beard covers his face. You recognize him as the proprietor of this place, Fishery Nook & Inn."

[8:41 PM] Slinky: "How are we doing"

[8:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As you turn to face the enemy, you happen upon a void where the space of a human should be."
[8:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The void is filled with the presence of two glowing, white, eyes. They stare beyond oblivion."
[8:50 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The head shape has an upward arc, almost hoodlike."

[9:00 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As you ponder your next move, something catches your eye on the other side of the street. Across from you, beyond the creature, is a girl. A young girl, you've never seen before, with short black hair, and some sort of purple hooded cloak you've never seen before."

[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "Might not be for us"
[9:03 PM] otherLiam: "as a rogue, you can snipe it, then cunning action hide again after repositioning"
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "True"
[9:03 PM] otherLiam: "it's why i fucking hate rogues as a dm"
[9:03 PM] Xenquility: "Can use sneak attack with ranged weapons too"
[9:04 PM] otherLiam: "yes"
[9:04 PM] otherLiam: "wait"
[9:04 PM] Xenquility: "Also I haven't played dnd in quite a while but you get advantage as long as they can't see you, right?\"
[9:04 PM] otherLiam: "Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. 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."
[9:05 PM] otherLiam: "I believe attacking a target from hiding has advantage, yes."
[9:05 PM] otherLiam: "but that's a question for the gm"
[9:05 PM] Xenquility: "also im just using what the character sheet says here" * Sneak Attack • PHB 96 "
Once per turn, you can deal an extra 2d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack with a finesse or ranged weapon if you have advantage on the attack roll. 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. "
[9:06 PM] Xenquility: "Alright, snipe the guy while he isn't looking and if successful (obviously) add sneak attack"

[12:56 PM] SHADOWLINK: ">Pause Game"
[1:16 PM] Xenquility: "Is there a fog?"
[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))"

[2:33 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"

[9:29 PM] Xenquility: "and there's one thing that we really want to know but probably isn't the most important"
[9:29 PM] Xenquility: "so right now I'd say how we can stop our enemies from succeeding is the most important thing"
[9:29 PM] Xenquility: "but I doubt you'd give us the answer to that"
[9:29 PM] Xenquility: "(Depending on who "You" are)"
[9:30 PM] Xenquility: "so if we can't figure out how to directly stop our enemies then next would be how to help our allies (IA, Yuuki, etc.)"

[9:32 PM] Xenquility: "other than the IIIII's as discovering what those are probably won't directly benefit us"
[9:33 PM] Xenquility: "Alright I guess"
[9:33 PM] Xenquility: "Agh but so far we just keep being told to wait for the subspace so asking how to stop them won't exactly benefit us either"
[9:34 PM] Xenquility: "and on some level we already have some hints as to how we should go about saving yuuki"
[9:34 PM] Xenquility: "Damnit okay"
[9:35 PM] Xenquility: "What exactly are the IIIII's? What are they, who are they, where are they, when are they, why are they. Who created them, and why did they create them?"
[9:40 PM] ARGdov: "sorry just got here"
[9:41 PM] ARGdov: "and yes perfect question"
[9:41 PM] ARGdov: "(also were not sure what our enemies are trying to accomplish I think, which uh, may be an important thing to know before figuring out how to stop them)"

[10:33 PM] otherLiam: "Oh yeah I saw that. If I had to guess, we’ve been reenacting events that actually happened thru the dnd sessions, and you did a thing that never happened."

[12:07 AM] Xenquility: "please no"
[12:07 AM] Xenquility: "we are trying to save things here"
[12:07 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: You two find yourselves amongst trees and brush. The terrain is uneven with sticks, twigs, branches, and rotting logs. The ground is moist is moss and lightly rotten vegetation, a sickly sweet scent, like honey, filling the air. You two have never met, and are only now aware of yourself in this moment. A fog begins to roll in."
[12:08 AM] Xenquility: "Hey, dude, we can get to know each other later. All I know is that this fog is bad news."
[12:08 AM] Xenquility: "Like, deathly bad"
[12:08 AM] otherLiam: "Agreed. Let’s quickly find some shelter."
[12:09 AM] Xenquility: "I take out the raven statue to see if it'll still act as a light in the fog"
[12:10 AM] otherLiam: "Flint will cast Mage Armor on himself using Armor of Shadows"
[12:10 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The Raven statue does put out a light, but the glow is a much weaker one and the color is rather dim violet than burning bright. The fogs seems to circle a few feet around you two."
[12:10 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Flint activates his mage armor."
[12:11 AM] otherLiam: "Does that statue keep it at bay?"
[12:14 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The statue seems to keep the fog at arm's length, though not much. The weak light coming from it does not also help much as a torch, although while the atmosphere is somewhat grey, it is not dark."
[12:14 AM] otherLiam: "Flint would like to try to peer through the fog to find shelter in this swampy place, staying close to Max."

[12:15 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Flint is unable to make much out of the fog other than the vague silhouettes of large tree trunks and fallen logs."

[12:18 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Max is able to see beyond the thicker parts of the mist, and realizes they were already on a path when they were drawn into these mysterious woods. Following the path with his eyes, he realizes they're actually less than 25 meters from what he would assume is a building of some sort, although the blanket of water hanging in the air made it difficult to truly tell."
[12:19 AM] Xenquility: ""Hey, I think I see a building down the road. Right now, it's probably our best bet. Can't think of much else to do myself""
[12:19 AM] otherLiam: ""Very well. I will follow your lead, for now.""
[12:20 AM] otherLiam: "Flint will continue to stay close to Max, out of reach of the fog, while keeping a close eye on him. Wouldn’t want him stealing my work."
[12:23 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: You are able to successfully walk on the forest path. As you both inch your way closer to perceived building, you quickly realize while it is shelter, it is not a building at all, but a large tree with some sort of entryway carved inside. The tree was quite massive, seemingly impossibly so."
[12:23 AM] otherLiam: ""That’s... bizarre.""

[12:26 AM] otherLiam: ""I’ve not encountered anything like this in my studies. But, like you said, we’ve little choice in the matter.""

[12:28 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: You have heard ancient tales of an old forest where travelers suddenly find themselves. Those lost within never intended to find themselves there, and few ever make it out alive. Some have said there is a giant, ancient tree within and that some artifact of great power rests within. None who try can intentionally find this forest."
[12:30 AM] Xenquility: ""I recall a legend of a forest like this. It makes reference to this tree. While I wouldn't put my trust in the hands of tall tales, there is said to be an artifact of great power within here.""
[12:30 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: It is believed that while the actual concept of what the artifact is, being knowledge lost to time, it is that very object that choose those who find themselves in those woods."
[12:30 AM] Xenquility: ""From what I recall, it's said that that very artifact is what choses those who arrive here""

[12:38 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: What you see before you is a great circular hall, built within the inside of the tree. There is a pathway going upwards, around the walls-- or rather, the inside of the carved out trunk-- with some gaps where the work was either unfinished or has decayed away. There is also spiderwebs visible in several areas around the room. The darkness is thick here, and the space is quite large, so the pathway disappears after some height."

[12:48 AM] Xenquility: "Adressing the offence from earlier, Max responds "By the way, I meant no offense. I wouldn't say the Eldritch are my favourite by any means but they can't be any worse than the beings I've interacted with that call themselved 'Divine'""
[12:49 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: You blast away at the webbing with some Eldritch Blasts, but the pact-lightning seems to have little effect."
[12:49 AM] otherLiam: "Flint glares at Max, being a deeply religious man. He also appears irritated by the magic’s lack of effectiveness."
[12:50 AM] otherLiam: ""This is no ordinary webbing. We should tread cautiously - whatever spun this may still be around.""

[12:51 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Cautious observation after tooling around with the material has given you both an understanding of the webbing. The same webbing is thickly covering other areas of this tree. While it seems to be magic resistant, it's resistance to blades is only due to elasticity, and it seems with enough force or tension, one could tear it."
[12:52 AM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: It is also likely not flame resistant."
[12:53 AM] otherLiam: "(If I used Alchemist’s Fire to blast through the webbing, would that fire spread at all?)"

[12:55 AM] Xenquility: ""On a side note, are we sure we want to open this hole?""

[9:29 PM] Xenquility: "after killing the spiders"
[9:29 PM] otherLiam: "(we were specifically heading up)"
[9:36 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: As you continue your way along the path inside the Great Tree, you notice that there is a set of tracks leading towards a chest."
[9:38 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: You can distinctly recall these tracks were not there before."
[9:39 PM] Xenquility: "Max attempts to identify what creature made them"
[9:41 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: The tracks seem somewhat blocky."
[9:42 PM] otherLiam: "(is there also a set of tracks leading away from the chest?)"
[9:43 PM] SHADOWLINK: "DM: Yes, the same ones, although they trail off the pathway and vanish."

[9:48 PM] Xenquility: "pftttt"
[9:50 PM] otherLiam: "(should I do something? i doubt i have any spells to help with this situation)"
[9:50 PM] Xenquility: "oh uh"
[9:50 PM] ReturnedFaith: "You are on a bus. A pretty regular looking bus that is quite yellow (as busses usually are). It's full of average looking teenagers who one may construe as rude if they felt like projecting. There's a couple of familiar faces on the bus - a fellow named Tyler at the front and an equally as fellow fellow named Erik in the back."
[9:51 PM] Xenquility: "So apparently this is bad"
[9:51 PM] ReturnedFaith: "What will you do?"
[9:51 PM] Xenquility: ""My power fades. I try to bring you back to safety!" -Raven"
[9:51 PM] Xenquility: "And uh"
[9:51 PM] Xenquility: "Sit with Tyler this time"
[9:51 PM] Xenquility: "erik was boring"
[9:51 PM] otherLiam: "(sorry, is it just xen playing now?)"
[9:51 PM] Xenquility: "no I think we can both input shit here"
[9:52 PM] otherLiam: "(i dont think so. Flint was given as part of that last scene)"
[9:52 PM] Xenquility: "im not sure though"
[9:52 PM] Xenquility: "actually this is sam stuff so it should be slinky"
[9:52 PM] otherLiam: "(i think you’re still the main player. i was a guest appearance)"
[9:52 PM] Xenquility: "or it was sam stuff at least"
[9:52 PM] otherLiam: "(sam is elsewhere. now it’s you going through this. i think.)"
[9:53 PM] Xenquility: "in the mean time it seems prod has officially cucked his boss"
[9:54 PM] Xenquility: "well notsoboss"
[9:54 PM] Xenquility: "my theory is prod has a domination kink and wants to be sink's sub"
[9:54 PM] otherLiam: "(do your thing, xen)"
[9:54 PM] otherLiam: "(play the game)"
[9:54 PM] Xenquility: "I mean I tried earlier but ill try again"
[9:54 PM] Xenquility: ""I" (whoever the hell this is) sits beside Tyler"

[10:16 PM] ReturnedFaith: "((The image "000.png" is sent))"
[10:16 PM] ReturnedFaith: "You two head up to the front of the bus. Fuck that Erik guy, he always puts you to sleep. (Which is actually pretty handy for long trips, but you don't need to sleep right now - you're already dreaming!) You both squeeze onto the already cramped bus seat. Tyler feels as if his personal bubble is being invaded. What now?"
[10:17 PM] Xenquility: "holy fuck lmao"
[10:18 PM] Xenquility: ""Hey dude. How goes it?""
[10:27 PM] Xenquility: ""Sorry for uh, invading your space here but it'd be nice to have a conversation with someone other than Erik for a change""
[10:27 PM] ReturnedFaith: "((The image "001.png" is sent))"
[10:27 PM] ReturnedFaith: "Max: "Hey dude. How goes it?" "
[10:27 PM] ReturnedFaith: "Tyler looks you up and down and takes notice of your oddly colored skin."
[10:27 PM] ReturnedFaith: "Tyler: "Uhh... Not tryin' to be racist or anything, but you're lookin' pretty freaky there, fella. Uh... Honestly, am I tripping right now? Is this just reality? Will this ever stop?""
[10:27 PM] ReturnedFaith: "He seems to be having a very calm breakdown."
[10:28 PM] ADULT_LINK: "ok 2 things:"
[10:28 PM] ADULT_LINK: "whats the skin look like"
[10:28 PM] ADULT_LINK: "and can we blame it on a skin condition"
[10:28 PM] Xenquility: "okay have you seen flint's head in the first picture there"
[10:29 PM] Xenquility: "I don't think that's something we can blame on a condition"
[10:29 PM] ADULT_LINK: "...cosplayer?"
[10:29 PM] ADULT_LINK: "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
[10:30 PM] otherLiam: ""It’s just cosplay.""

[10:41 PM] ReturnedFaith: "Flint: "It's just a cosplay.""
[10:41 PM] ReturnedFaith: Tyler: "Oh holy shit, that is one hell of a cosplay you got goin' there, buddy. I was just at this convention a few weeks ago and, uh... Well, it was pretty freaky, to say the least. A real eye-opening experience, you could say.""
[10:42 PM] otherLiam: ""A convention? What kind?""
[10:56 PM] ReturnedFaith: "((The image "003.png" is sent))"
[10:56 PM] ReturnedFaith: "Flint: "A convention? What kind?""
[10:56 PM] ReturnedFaith: "Tyler: "Just some, uh... Just a local anime convention that they hold around here every December. You know I love me some good ol' conventions.""
[10:56 PM] ReturnedFaith: "He starts rambling about various convention stories."
[10:57 PM] otherLiam: "(he out here keepin his third eye open)"
[10:57 PM] otherLiam: "(can i roll to detect bullshit)"
[10:58 PM] otherLiam: "(i think it’s Insight in 5e?)"

[11:06 PM] otherLiam: "as in characters can see that."
[11:06 PM] Xenquility: "im aware"
[11:06 PM] otherLiam: "generally we want them to have less information."
[11:07 PM] otherLiam: "so that bomb plans dont happen"
[11:08 PM] Xenquility: "however i will edit this out if you are worried about it"
[11:19 PM] ReturnedFaith: "((The image "004.png" is sent))"
10:19 PM] ReturnedFaith: "You search for Infinitory for any sort of device you can "roll", but you find nothing!"

[11:20 PM] ReturnedFaith: "Tyler suddenly snaps out of his rambling."
[11:20 PM] ReturnedFaith: "Tyler: "Oh shit, this is my stop, hooold up now.""
[11:20 PM] otherLiam: "Flint moves out of the way to allow Tyler to get into the aisle"

[12:06 AM] ReturnedFaith: "((The image "009.png" is sent))"
[12:06 AM] Xenquility: "Max inspects both the bottle and the card"
[12:06 AM] Xenquility: "But does not drink anything"

[12:32 AM] Xenquility: "not so great"
[12:32 AM] ReturnedFaith: "im not in any bottle"
[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: "speaking of eurethral"
[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: "to tell the truth"
[12:42 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I'm also still trying to figure us out"
[12:42 AM] ReturnedFaith: "though I can tell you this"
[12:44 AM] ReturnedFaith: "SHADOWLINK is several layers of Greth"
[12:44 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I believe he's revealed this much before"
[12:44 AM] otherLiam: "yes"
[12:44 AM] Xenquility: "indeed"
[12:44 AM] otherLiam: "whatever that means"
[12:44 AM] ReturnedFaith: "I work alongside SHADOWLINK"
[12:44 AM] Xenquility: "are you multiple layers of some fucko or are you just a normal person lmao"
[12:45 AM] ReturnedFaith: "sitting here on my couch"
[12:45 AM] ReturnedFaith: "producing day in and day out"
[12:45 AM] Xenquility: "deepestlore.png"
[12:45 AM] Xenquility: "got a screenshot but not the original"
[12:45 AM] otherLiam: "same"
[12:46 AM] ReturnedFaith: "in fact"
[12:46 AM] ReturnedFaith: "a sneak peek of my production was recently shown off"
[12:46 AM] ReturnedFaith: "but of course I cant say where"
[12:46 AM] ReturnedFaith: "just something to chew on"
