"Well, it seems we're still in the prison... sort of. On the Spirit Realm side there's some sort of ruined building here. It doesn't seem to be the same building either."

"Aw, thank you for trying to cheer me up, it's nice to know somebody cares. Don't worry, I'm not hurt, I just feel a little sick. Both from what happened, and being sent here."

"I can't contact the Physical World, that blind lady trapped me here. I know others who've gotten around that though, so we should try and find someone who knows what to do. 'Sides, I don't want to hang around where that Sableye can find me."

A legend and a compass are included in all self respecting maps.

Well hey, at least you might evolv. Strength is gained through trials and overcoming them. Then you'll be able to hug people!
So tell us about these people you know who got out of being trapped in the spirit world?

I AM THE QUEEN OF FRANCE

What you need to do is find the spirit of that gym leader who died and apologize. You never meant to harm. In fact, you don't even have any attacks that cause direct damage, do you? All we've seen so far is sing and lick.

"Well, I used to know this Misdreavus, and she said that if you do the Lord of the Dead a favor, he'll let you leave, even if you've been sealed here. Thing is, I don't know where to find him."

>>205932
"A queen? And I thought I was insane."

[Moveset:
-Lick
-Sing

>>205983
... ok well I still have no idea where we are on the map.
I guess just head to the nearest town, maybe we can find some help there. Be wary of assailants.

And Plum? You're too cute to be insane.

>>205932
Queen of Bag of Dicks land.

>>205983

If you think that was insane, you should see the whole film short.

Oh right, Lick is a damaging move. Hm...

Okay, for future reference don't lick people even if they look tasty.

[You can go to the unknown location to the southwest, or Plum's Shack to the northeast.]

Unknown location please.

And lo, Plum did travel the path to the south. After some time, which is conveniently off-screen, she looks up a large hill off to the side of the road. Atop the hill stands a mansion with many windows, some lit and others pitch black with an otherworldly darkness even the eyes of our lost heroine cannot pierce. Shapes move in some of the windows, giving away the presence of some sort of life, or unlife in the building. Beyond the manor's hill stand the Peaks of Peril, against the black skies.

[Safe House Discovered: Mansion of Mayhem]

go in, ask around if they know of any way out. if they dont, ask around about the lord of dead guy.

I go up to the door and pull a string near the door [which is conveniently off screen] and the sound of a church bell resounds from above, though I saw no belfry on the building before. The door is opened by a Mismagius, who smiles.

"Ah, hello, we have been expecting you. Come on in, come on in!" he beckons, and moves aside a little to let me inside.

I'm not sure about this though... I never had much experience socially, but something about this guy feels off.

well what could he possibly do to you? pretty sure you can't die again. besides i'm pretty sure predicting the future is something they do.

Go along with it for now. Be nice and polite.
Maybe he can help you in your new exorcised status.

Turn around without another word and leave at a normal pace. Go at least 50 spirit meters, then look at the house again. If nothing happens and he's still waiting then it's probably not a trap.

I turn and go away, then look back. Everything seems fine, so I return.

"You seem rather indecisive. So, will you or will you not be staying here at the Mansion for the night? If so, I will take you to meet the wonderful owner of this grand establishment and we can work out the details of your stay, so I can show you to your room," the Mismagius says pleasantly.

whelp. guess we can stay.

"Details of your stay" sounds suspicious...

Bit like a Devils-deal kinda thing...

Eh, go with him. But make sure to remember the way out.

Sorry for the trouble, it's just good to be wary of such sudden invitations. You don't know much about the area after all. Now that you've cleared your head, go ahead and follow this polite fellow.

I'm led by the Mismagius up to the attic, where a little office desk is set up. Over to the right is a divider, separating the rest of the room from this part.

As soon as we are both here, the Mismagius cackles and begins to change, his shape becoming obscure.

be ready to sing for your life but don't go anywhere.

"Hark! All along it was in fact I, Otto von Auto, the owner of the Mansion of Mayhem! Aha! And you did not suspect a thing! Such is the amazing amazingosity of my and my Monocle of Eccentrism!

I apologize if I alarmed you of course, but I usually adopt that form because that wavy dress is just so comfy~"

Well... this is not what I expected at all.

oh ho, a rotom. nice. ask it what this mansion is.

"So, what is this place anyways?"

"Oh yes, my magnificent masterpiece! My unlife's work! I built it my you know, all on my own. No help. Okay, maybe I possessed a few human construction machines, but that doesn't count. You see, in the night, the number of angered, or hungry souls out and about tends to raise to an alarming level, so I decided to make a haven for all who want a safe place to stay. Of course, with that exorcist over in town, business is booming!

As for payment, well, there's really no currency here. No system ever stuck. Mostly we all help each other out, "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" sort of thing. But I don't really have any favors or 'quests' as the kids call them these days that need doing right now, so you can have a freebie as long as you can answer one little riddle for me," explains Otto, proceeding to laugh quite exaggeratedly. What a jolly and lighthearted little fellow! I can't believe I ever thought he was dangerous.

sounds fair. and with us i doubt any riddle can stump you.

>>207107

"Sounds good, let's hear it!"

"Alright my dear, here is the riddle. What is the thing in this world I fear more than anything, the thing which all entities, be they mighty or meek, small or large, living or dead, mechanical or organic, good or evil, alone or in company should fear above all others?"

Boredom?

>>207113
Fear itself?

Xom.

Eternity

"Boredom?"

"Nope."

"Fear itself?"

"Ooooh, you're so close!"

"Xom?"

"What? What's a Xom?"

"I don't actually know."

"Well, I'll give you one more shot then. No silly wasteful guesses this time."

"Um... Eternity."

"Are you suuuure that's your final answer?"

>>207129
time maybe?
how many guesses do we get?

What's fear incarnate?
Niggers?

[You have one guess left, make it count]

well dont listen to me obviously.

Failure. No matter what you hope to achieve, the thing you fear the most is failing to achieve it.

No, wait. I've got a better one.

Loss.

All things fear the pain of losing what they care about, be it life, friendship, wealth, or hope.

I don't think it's time. Why would the dead fear time?

Same with death. The dead are already dead. Death should hold no fear for them....

Hmmmmmm....

That's a real problem area. What could the dead fear? They don't even exist as people anymore; they've got nothing to fear!

>>207154
well then what about that? nothingness.

"Uh... I dunno, nothingness?"

"No! I win. You'll just owe me a favor then, I suppose."

"So what was the answer?"

"The answer is 'Self'. I tend not to use the word, out of fear and respect for it. You see, you know all your weaknesses, strengths, how to counter everything you are. It is there at all times, and you cannot see it. It is ever your equal, regardless of who or what you are. Each is their greatest critic, and should 'Self' doubt you, your resolve will be broken. Even in victory against your own 'Self' you will always lose. This is why 'Self' is the thing all should fear most.

So, shall I show you where you will be staying then?"

[... what psychology classes you taken? that was more of an opinion then a real riddle.]

let's go.

Talk to Rotom some more. You know his greatest fear, so try to scare the bejeebus out of him by making him question his 'self'.
