Building the oracle I see?

Hello again Jacob. And Davross, Freyas. I just wanna tell you all what dicks you turn out to be in the future.

Jacob, you become a lying, revenge obsessed pedophile with absurd magic powers, who tries to manipulate and hurt his robot daughter to take revenge on the world.

Davross, you murder pretty much you entire family. Every single one of your wives and children, and children, and you had a lot of each.

Freya, well, we don't know much about you yet. But you're working with these dickbags, so that's a black mark against you.

Oh, also, you're almost all certainly complicit in making the surface of this world uninhabitable too.

Im pretty sure Jacob simply creates the one who gives Liz her sentience. He's promptly murdered afterwords from what we've gathered.

Yep. Be careful about that Jacob. You're going to have another creation after your lizard maid that's going to replace you and turn all evil and junk. It will be your murderer.

It's not very nice. You should make a fail safe switch or something to deactivate it easily, just so that it can be safely brought down after it goes feral.

Uh, no, Jacob doesn't become that. That is Virtue. Jacob is quite dead in the future. Virtue claimed to be Liz's father because he is responsible for Liz becoming sentient. He discovered a way to trigger it, I suppose.

>>439436
No, Jacob isn't killed by Virtue. He's killed by Pride.

Get your facts straight, guys. Also keep in mind that us telling them these things might in fact be CAUSING these events to happen in the future. Time moves in strange ways. Not to say that we can actually do anything that will change the future in our timeline... that is quite impossible. It will happen regardless. We can only influence if we are responsible for that future or not.

>>439432
Okay hello, we're here again at this point in time. This Oracle machine you're making... is it capable of lying? Liz got quite a bit of information out of it and I would like to ensure that none of it is false.
>>
No. 439448 ID: d6c330

I'm not convinced that Jacob's murder doesn't rule out Jacob becoming Virtue, Virtue assimilating Jacob, Jacob being uploaded into Virtue, Virtue being an offshoot Jacob consciousness, or Virtue being somehow crafted from Jacob's dead remains.

I mean, come one, Wrath's conversation sprite is a Jacob recolor. And Wrath acted as if we were somehow wrong when we said he was Virtue, but not Jacob.

>We don't know if being jerks to these guys causes this whole mess
And we don't know trying to help them doesn't, too.

We might as well do whatever we want, because while we're ignorant, any and all paths could lead to the bad future.

Mostly I just wanna get a rise out of them. Maybe make them question mucking with forces they obviously don't understand.

We're unhappy to report that you've still completely failed to stop the end of the world.
Lets fix that, shall we?

Jacob, you're going to be murdered by Pride at the age of 37. That directly results in things getting many times worse, so for the sake of science we want people to go kill the hell out of Pride first.
If they succeed then it will prove the future can be changed and vindicate your work.

As for the rest of you, we'll tell you how to avoid your own horrible fates once it is no longer possible for Pride to murder Jacob."

There is going to be some reorganization going on after Pride murders you. The machine you are building is going to be referred to as "Oracle"; it will have near-omniscience, but little ability to affect anything.
The entity named "Virtue" is a lunatic machine with very strong powers of an unknown nature that believes itself to be Jacob. It is dedicated to revenge via the end of all life.

This is one of the reasons why it is absolutely critical that Jacob survive.

Also: Jacob, we don't yet know enough about time manipulation to affect things before our first meeting. The machine you are working on now - the one which we will come to know as Oracle - must be instructed to prioritize researching how this can be accomplished and to provide this information to Lizbeth once she has her password.

Now tell us, and only us, her password.

Well we aren't sure exactly what ruins the surface, just that it leaves some sort of toxic gas or perhaps radiation.
And be careful about the 'unable to alter its own programming' bit. Our time's Oracle is at minimum a competent golemancer, so he likely has at least some ability to modify himself.

We need to go now because of things happening in our time. See you later, or perhaps earlier.

We don't know if Jacob got killed by Pride. We don't know who destroyed the surface. We don't know what really happened to Maggie, or what Ridcully will actually do with the gem we gave him.

Non-sentient machine? I contend the requirements for the control of what you are attempting to accomplish are, in fact, essentially that for a sentient mind. The issue of agency comes to mind, but that's more tangential.

Regardless, all the information we have which is relevant to your present comes directly from the machine you are currently working on. I suppose your trust in its veracity should match your faith in your work.

As far as the password? You can set her password to whatever you tell us, since it only matters that the password is set before Lizbeth uses it.

I don't see the point in not trusting Lizbeth. I mean, worst case, so what? So we've got an unreliable narrator / player character, but that's an annoyance at best. I mean, we're here for her, and her trying to trick us into working for her interests instead of just using us is silly.

I've been saying this since the beginning! You lot are far too gullible!

Why do you guys need to give "spoilers", newly acquired information without any validation, whenever we meet with Jacob? You've been doing this even before we meet the Oracle, which is female only in my sis/bro bad and stupid jokes! This isn't a flashback! We're effectively interacting with the past! You guys never stop to think about this!

So hi. Turns out Liz has some implanted memories, except they're sortof interactive since they're memories of us talking to her creators in the past. Which we do while viewing the "memories". It's more like a window into the past to be honest. We're not utilizing it very well so far. I suggest you be very careful here.

Hmm. Considering your unique method of sensing things, what does this look like to you? Oh! Also what happened while Lizbeth was asleep? We got some worrying status reports!

Hey, Gravs. Sup. We're the voices of magic, or something. We've been offering Liz our dubious guidance.

I assume you can see here? If your blindness is self inflicted, I'd expect your inner dream eyes and your visual cortex or whatever to still work.

Anyways, summary: Liz got dream-hacked by Wrath, who's a dick, by the way. He wanted Liz to play along with things we figured were very bad for the health of the other Lizards in the party, so we told him to gtfo. He dream-killed Liz in retaliation. Now she's stuck, and can't seem to reboot.

We'd very much appreciate your help in getting her online.

Curiously enough, the weirdo interactive memories of the past are the normal part of the night. We've been getting them every time she goes to sleep.

Graven, Lizbeth got knocked out of her body by some jerkass named Wrath. She can't reenter when her body rebooted 'cause there's a password. We need you to find a way to break the password... Wait, wait, wait, wait a second! Maybe Jacob didn't set the current password!

Graven, when you enabled the basic security measures on Lizbeth, did you reset her password as well? If you did, we promise not to yell at you (too much) for not telling her what it is, if you input it right now and restart her body.

There were also some critical health status alarms for the party. First Graven, then Lizbeth, then Lizbeth's cleared, but Kevros' went off. What's going on out there?

Well, considering Liz had a forced out of body experience, that's why we needed it, I guess. So Ira was only half lying then- we would have had to posses someone else, if we didn't have the password, or access to help.

It's here. It's here and we don't have enough females. I fear I am alone in this, though. Everything is about matchmaking, no one cares about harems and sex changes anymore. It's not only disappointing, it's disgusting.

However, before that we should cross reference some things, confirm what was said by the Oracle. Alley Magic’r’us is our next destination.

No. 439784 ID: b33427

First off, check if the party completed the contract, and get paid if so.

Tell Maggy that Graven really likes her, in more than a base sexual way, he just didn't know how to express it. Push her to go after him and talk, before anything happens to get in the way.

After all that mucking about in the ruins, a long soak in the hot springs sounds nice. How about renting a spring for each party member so they can all soak the dust and grime out. Get their clothes laundered, and armor cleaned and shined as well. You'll all feel better afterwards.

Confirming that what has been told to you should be a high priority. Checking that the surface is still uninhabitable is a task that sounds straightforward. You're going to need protective clothing in case it is, plus equipment to take and analyze samples to determine what is making it uninhabitable.

I'd chill, relax with your buds. Get breakfast, enjoy normal life a little bit. Given Graven his space, and time for Maggie to go after him, if she wants.

Are you saying we are evil, or that Liz is a machine? Actions speak most loudly of one's moral compass and our actions have not been evil. Remember that we're a collective.

Besides, you can craft a solid illusion of any sex toy or bondage accessory you could ever want (and no need to clean 'em when you're done, just dispel them to nothingness!). If you window shop now, you'll have a mental catalog of things to conjure later for free.

We should probably start out slow. Can you make rope that doesn't chafe? If not, buying bondage rope is a solid investment. Same with lube. Fuzzy handcuffs are iconic and the mechanism might be complex enough to be hard to summon, but on the other hand bondage rope works well enough for that sort of thing. A dildo is nice but we can summon that. Same with a dildo harness. We could splurge on something really weird just for a joke item...

Show Kevros the catalog to tease him. Specifically the more lewd parts, and those you're interested in. Whisper what you'd like to do with those things, and slowly tickle around his ear hole with the tip of your tongue. See if you can make his codpiece break from the strain of holding his boner back.

"You can't take those into a bath, but I think I can help. Take a look."
If there's no mirror in the changing room then make a solid illusion of a hand mirror so she can see for herself.

"Just an illusion. Baby steps."

Ladies changing room seems reasonable if she needs calming down. We've just dumped all her issues (physical damage, murderous dad, Graven, secrets violated) on her at once.

Not sure if we really need to offer an illusion, Gravs is blind after all, and using earth senses to see. I mean, if he's sensing minerals, everybody probably looks like skeletons to him anyways.

It's not for Grav, or us, or even Kev for the most part. It's for her.
She feels like an ugly deformed freak, and this takes away her excuse for hiding behind her cowl.
She'll feel naked without it, but it's a safe environment and with the illusion nobody can see it anyway. It's confidence building and trust-building.
We want her to feel what it's like to be normal for once, and have that be around friends. From there we can work on improving her self-image while we work on a way to reconstruct her face.

A hug while they're both naked would lead to even more awkwardness, and a possible mental lock-up by Graven. It'd be better if he just gently held Maggy's hand with his while saying his bit.

Calm down, Gravin. Take a deep breath, and focus on your breathing. Look to where you guess Maggy's eyes are, and begin.

Tell her you're deeply sorry, and rather ashamed, you never noticed that she had such feelings towards you before, and had to have a third-party lay it out for you. To tell the truth, it's not something you've had much experience in spotting... Or any experience, for that matter. You're rather socially awkward, as she already knows... Uh...

Maggie isn't a delicate flower that would shatter at your touch; she's been through a lot, and I've little doubt that disabused her of any illusions she had about how a real relationship works.
She fell in love with you as you are. Just treat her right and communicate with each other and things should be just fine.

Also? Lizbeth, Kevros, and we are going to be here to help as needed.

>True, but usually not like this. They are keener on giving out inspiration and bravery and stuff… or they make you into some mad prophet… wait, I’m not some insane prophet, am I?
Naw, sex makes up like 90% of deity/mortal interactions. We kinda threw them all together, so now we're inspiring romantic bravery.

>Why thank you for not dropping a ton of pressure on me. I mean, the whole world ending because I’m inept with the ladies? Yea, no pressure dude…
Pfft, don't worry about that. The fate of the world depends on tons of things. We're not entirely sure what since if we knew what the problem was we'd be fixing it already, but we're pretty sure you couldn't accidentally ruin anything.

Hold her hand and tell her to have a rest; You'll be right here for her. She can figure where the both of you will go when she's feeling better. Earth magic up the floor to make a stool to sit on, if the floor is stone.

In case you didn't know before, Maggy's face is deformed on the right side from an acid attack years ago. Can't see how you didn't know, since you could sense the shape of her form with magic. Anyway, Lizbeth made an illusion cover for it earlier, but it'll have worn off by now, and Maggy might freak a little when she realizes that. Don't be shocked if she does.

Now that that's out of the way, you have some time to tell us what the flying fuck you did! Do you not get that we can not give good advice if you withhold vital information?! We do not know everything! Now sit your tail down, mister, and start recalling the whole sordid tale, from the beginning.

Davros? Berserk? …no, I don’t think that would happen. He pretty much worshiped the ground his wife walked on. He did on the other hand go into a deep depression after her death thought.

Ah, that’s explains the magic on her face. Hmm, that actually a pretty good solution… why haven’t I thought about that? Creating a permanent illusion is a lot simpler then actually healing the scaring itself and would have nearly the same effect.

I-I rather not… but… fine. I was Davros apprentice for a few years when I was younger, he is the world leading scientist of precursor technology after all, and I made a few mistakes that spiraled out of control. I… I was kind of seduced by his wife and slept with her once… a few times… a lot. Of course, the biggest mistake was when I was supposed to keep an experiment stable and… Maggys mother decided to distract me. Then Maggy herself came, I think she suspected that her mother was cheating, and… well… I hid, Maggy and her mother had an argument, the experiment went critical, Maggy was scarred for life and lost a parent, Davros became depressed and pushed Maggy away, she ran away, I ran away, I sacrifice my own eyes in my search for a way to heal her scars, I failed, the end. The worst part is that Maggy still don’t know I was involved at all…

Simplest answer is honesty.

Sorry, Liz's magic voices are harassing me. I think I'm starting to see why her behavior is so... erratic at times, if she has to put up with this constantly.

>Horrible sad things.
I'm sorry, Gravs. All the same, we strongly suspect Davros was still involved- that or the Oracle was bullshitting us.

Is this our first contradiction of the oracle's info? An accidental lab explosion isn't murder, unless we're getting Graven on manslaughter charges. Or it was murder- Davros rigged it to explode? Note that this neither adultery nor murder was mentioned in Graven's criminal record- he didn't have one.

We should tread carefully though- he supposedly has a 50% chance of being murdered. The wrong reveal could get him killed by Maggie, I think.

>>
No. 444235 ID: 9718f3

I think you're underestimating Maggy there. If she suspected her mother was cheating, and followed her to where you were supposed to be working well... the pieces aren't exactly hard to put together. I can't fathom that she would know nothing of the accident that scarred her face and killed her mother, and that you were the one in charge of the experiment is the most basic of facts.

If you had a manly breakdown with the whole "It's my fault your face is scarred, etc. boo hoo I feel guilty" thing, I bet she'd forgive you for it.

The mother issue is more difficult though. Without knowing her perspective on the whole thing, I can't give decent advice.

I wasn’t the one in charge, Davros was. And I wasn’t the only apprentice on the project either, I was just the one unlucky too be assigned for the night shift that day. I don’t know if she knows it was me who was there that day or if she believes it was one of the other apprentices.

That wouldn't happen to be a general store that wasn't there the day before, and not there the day after, but when it was there, it was always there?

Wives (total x74) - Decease (Murder)
Oracle told us that he murdered ALL his wives. That is obviously a lie. The experiment caused the last one's death, at the very least. I suppose it's possible that Davros activated something from a distance to sabotage it in an attempt to kill both his wife and daughter like the rest, but it's more likely that Gavros knows what happened. He was there. Besides, if Davros wanted Maggy dead it wouldn't have been difficult to kill her right after the accident.

Infinite sea of darkness is normal. Not exiting the door to the outside is not. You seem to have broken the door Lizbeth.

So your friends are stonedmetalled. The readout says they're merely unconscious though, so this should be fixable. Graven's intrusion triggered a defense mechanism inside you that did uh... this. So all you need to do is find someone knowledgeable in the ancient technology involved in your construction, who should be able to reverse this quite neatly. Unfortunately Graven is the only one you know who stands a chance at doing that. And the rest of the world is behind a broken door that just goes outside the room now, not outside the room.

Oh I know! Use Graven's rod to pleasure yourself until something happens!

Okay, so your security defense measures triggered when Graven plugged that hand-scanner thing into your head, and put everyone around you in... stasis? Turned them to something metal-like? I don't know. The important bit is that they're still alive, and that means they can be brought back.

The fact that you can't leave the room means you're most likely still in your own head, or in the same "spirit space" as after Wrath knocked you out of your body. The rubber duck construct is also awake here, so I'm thinking that this is some sort of local network space for constructs or Precursor devices. Which means you can go over and use the blue hand scanner connected to the screen computer, see if Graven keeps his notes in there, and search for this kind of defense measure and how to reverse it.

Failing that, try laying back down in the bed, sticking the rod from that machine on the table back into your head, followed by the one from the green hand scanner. Then use the hand scanner yourself. You should have complete access, since it's your head, and can search around for how to reverse this.

Hey, how about making copies of the books and giving them to Graven? You probably don't even have to write it out by hand. This place almost certainly has a function to copy knowledge, you just have to find it.

Head back to Oracle Lite (dropping the Maggy illusion once you're out of Graven's sight,) and ask how to use your memory bank's copy functions. Then ask how to get that knowledge into Graven's mind, or into a hard copy, perhaps using regular or solid illusions so you don't have to write it out.

Then you can go back to Graven, grab a random book off the shelf, and use the copy functions to make an exact duplicate right before his eyes. Say that he can have as many copies as he wants, if it'll help Maggy.

I posit that you are turning grey and forgetting who you are because Kevros is causing damage to your self image. For some reason your reflection is fine despite the system telling us that Maggy was doing damage here. Maybe the damage she is causing is more subtle?

At any rate it looks like Maggy's reflection is a version of herself that's scarred all over its body. She's exaggerating her major flaw.

I suspect that in order to fix things here we have to get Maggy to accept the fact that she's scarred, and that it doesn't matter in the end if she doesn't look nice. Looks aren't everything. Plus, a permanent illusion on her would essentially fix it, and shouldn't even be that hard.

I agree with applying illusions to the gross things to make them look like how Maggy really does.

Also nix the kiss. She isn't fazed by sexual affection, so she would be more likely to come around if we gave her a hug, or maybe a kiss on the cheek. DO tell her that the scars don't make her ugly. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we know that Graven beholds her highly despite her scars. So do we.

She doesn't give a fuck about sex, but intimacy is a huge deal for her. A kiss is more intimate than a hug, but it's still not sexual. Kissing also requires that Lizbeth have the scars right in front of her face when she does it, as opposed to hugging where she could avoid that by putting her head besides Maggy's.

Well we can't just give them our happiness that isn't how happiness works, we could offer to help them find there own happiness but they wouldn't become happy just from taking ours then they'd feel upset that it didn't work and we would be upset since our happiness has been taken so then everyone's upset.

That's a picture of you on the floor there. Hmm.

Tell her you will, you'll try your best to help her find happiness. She just has to come with you, and stop fucking up your mind. Also right now your self image is about gone, because Kevros is somewhere else in your mind doing things. Ask her for help.

Alternatively... would having her run out of hp knock her unconscious without killing her? That would get her out of here too.

This must be Kevros' anger, on the right, and his... feminine side(?), on the left. Best guess is that Kevros' anger has been trashing the place chasing down and beating up his feminine side. Or it might be his mother, I'm not sure, but I'm leading towards it being his feminine side.

Since this situation has a good chance of causing damage to the last statue, use telekinesis to move it away from these two, before you do anything with them.

How is Femeros responsible for those people's deaths? There was no action taken against the deceased, no malicious intent, and not even even any negligence, so I see no merit in that charge.

In the case of Red, the circumstances around his actions sound more like voluntary manslaughter (severe emotional distress and likely intent to wound rather than to kill), which is indeed a crime, but does not bring him beyond the possibility of reform and rehabilitation with careful management.

Y'know... I'm not sure this blue guy is even part of Kevros. He seems like artificial beliefs hammered into him by the convent.

Let's address the female part first. It was not a crime. One person killed herself because she refused to face the fact that she objected to something that her son did. That was THEIR choice. Then another person killed himself out of grief. Again, THEIR choice. Those deaths were not the fault of Kevros. His brother was wrong to blame him for their deaths. Still, killing him was wrong. That we can agree on.

There's something else that's been bothering me though. That jerk in our dreams was going to show us Kevros' past to teach us to always get proof of the facts. As Kevros if there's anything surrounding his parents deaths that seemed odd. Anything at all.

"None of you are neutral parties in this. You value the law, so you should recuse yourself due to your emotional investment.
You respect my judgement, and consider me to be a neutral party, right? I'll fill the role of judge and jury, and you'll respect my verdict.

First, lets address things strictly as a matter of law based on the facts of the case as I am aware of them:
On the charge of murder, Fem Kev's actions as described by Kevros don't fit the charge. Murder requires intent to kill, and nobody has said she intended to kill anybody.
The worst charge I could see for her actions would be negligent homicide, but for that you would need to show a she knew people could die as a result of her actions. I can tell you right now that would be a difficult case to make, since the people she's accused of killing died by their own hands. Even then, she would be looking at a punishment of time served.
So strictly as a matter of law my judgement is there's no merit in pursuing a case against her, and I'm putting in an injunction against persecuting her over this matter any more.

As far as Big Angry goes? I don't know enough about that incident to rule as a matter of law. Given Kevros' statements about his brother making his life hell, I'm not sure murder would be quite the right charge. If you'd like to put him on trial, we'll have to do that later. I have other things to fix.

Apologize. Ask her if she feels better now because of what we said to her, even though we did wind up beating her up in the end. We did mean what we said.

We'll compensate for it by helping Graven find a more permanent solution for her problem, just like we're helping him with his eyes.

Also tell Graven to step back, you think Kevros might be about to remember something traumatic and you're not sure how he'll react.

Golemancer. Illusionist was for power. Golemancer is for knowledge.

Oh speaking of Liz, I figured out something ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. Oracle told us Virtue was in the same room as Liz. This is because Virtue and Liz are taking up the same space. Either Liz IS Virtue, Liz has taken over Virtue's body, or Virtue got implanted into Liz. This explains why Liz is the Vessel despite her never being designed to be so, and why we keep getting spoken to by a mysterious individual.

What I don't know is who The World is. Virtue or the original Liz? We should try to contact them again and interrogate them.

"Can do! Meanwhile, could you get me a pair of glass eyes and some green liquid rubber? I think I might have a temporary solution."

I already said my plan, but I'll restate it here: We're going to make Glass Eye Golems and stick them in Graven's head, and have them put everything they see right into his mind. They will be bionic eyes, only magic instead of technology.
That should work, so if it doesn't it'll be easy to Rules Lawyer it into working anyway.

Then we make a liquid rubber golem for Maggie that will cover her scars so her face will at least have an even surface with the right texture and color. Later we can upgrade it to use Maggie's magic power to maintain a more 'perfect' solid illusion.

Lizbeth said we'd need specialized tools for that too. We should probably just mention to Graven that we're going to need access to a proper lab but that we do have the proper knowledge to fix their faces.

Speaking of Graven, he's going to have to tell us his version of events that obviously lead to Maggie running off somewhere randomly.

Wait, actually I just realized something. If Liz can make room-sized illusions, is there a reason she can't just provide her own lab? She should have the exact specifications of every tool required in that database of hers. Oh well, we'll deal with that later.

In the meantime, illusion up a wicked hover-bike or something and drive around irresponsibly fast indoors while looking for Maggie.

No, she said we would need that to fix eyes and faces. This isn't fixing.
Graven can muck around with golems, and has shown that he can 'see' what a golem is 'seeing' when he's hooked up to one. So we make golems that can't do anything BUT see and have him hijack them.

That’s true… the only thing I need then is the raw material to make the eyes and skin thingy , and that would be that much of a problem…

Weeeelllll... Technically, the reason Graven didn't tell you is because he's ashamed and thought you'd sever all ties from him if you knew, and also thought it would just make you feel worse.
Graven's heart was in the right place, but his competence was lacking.

The real tragedy is that I'm not sure he had much of a choice. Yes, he was young and stupid when your mother seduced him, but was saying no even an option? Did he think it was an option? Somebody that's cheating on their spouse obviously can't be trusted, and she was his boss's wife. If Graven had turned her down would she have made up some sordid tale to get him fired and discredited? She went after a student, which would have strongly suggested she was looking for somebody she could control.
Who could he have told while it was going on? Who would have listened? Who would have believed him? Would anybody be willing to step in and help?
I'm not at all saying your mother intended to put Graven in that position, and I actually rather doubt that she did, but there was no way Graven could have known.

Oh, and we think your father rigged that experiment to blow in the hopes it would kill Graven for having sex with your mother, and his depression stems from accidentally murdering his wife and disfiguring you.
We were actually hoping to confront him about that; it's too big a coincidence for us to not suspect foul play.

We can't mess with memories.

You got upset at Graven because he hid unpleasant information from you for so long.
Now you are getting upset at us because we are sharing unpleasant information with you the first real chance we had.

We can't tell if the information we are providing is accurate or not because it was provided to us by the oracle and the oracle could have an agenda, but you deserve to know everything we know about your family.

We didn't do that! If anything, our presence allows you to remember something you normally can't. I mean, we're a powerful entity and don't even understand how we work.

Also I'd like to point out that we were given all that information we spewed out at you by the Oracle, the robot Liz visited while you were stuck in that room for a while in the ruins filled with insane robots. I keep telling the others that we should take what she said with a grain of salt, but most of them won't listen. We need to verify our facts before we act on them or tout them as truth.

Speaking of the nature of truth, do you know any magic that would let you figure out which set of memories is real? We should do that before we go anywhere near the arena.

Just a heads up, I’ve got an operation on Tuesday which will force me to put the quest on hiatus for a while. There will also probably be a dip in quality (as this thing had any to begin with) when I restart it, as I’ll be high on painkillers.

Oh! Wrath said something about time loops to us before, although we ignored it at the time because he's a lying jerk. Maybe he was telling the truth, and we're somehow letting you remember things that happened to you in alternate timelines? Weird, that hasn't happened for anyone else.

...we're sorry for confusing the heck out of you, Mags. We really just wanted to help.

Back to Liz! (Before we do more damage. Really, we are the worst friends to this poor girl).

How about we get the hell out of your head just in case, until we find out a bit more about the machine that scarred you. My best guess is that that's why we're affecting you. Please indicate whether or not the false memories go away, after we leave. If they don't, we'll need to fix it. We'll try to stay out of your head from now on, too.

Also, sorry about meddling in your affairs with the matchmaking and such but we do have good intentions. It's not a game, for us; we're trying to help you, because we like you. Your life is improving, isn't it? If you don't want to trust us, that's fine. Just trust your friends.

Oh, crap! You're remembering previous iterations of the time loop!

Ok, we may or may not have told you this before, but we've tried and tried to stop a second apocalypse. Each time we've failed, each time the world has been reset to the first apocalypse, and each time we awaken with Lizbeth and have no memory of what happened.
You're remembering things that happened in previous cycles.

>a-and… I remember hanging myself… I-I don’t want to die…
This is the important part - you need to remember why the other Maggy killed herself so we can keep the root cause from happening this time.
We want you to live a long, happy life. We're doing everything we can and a few things we probably can't to make that happen.

Now we really need to talk to your dad; if his behavior changes this much between cycles then there's a good chance he remembers previous cycles, which suggests...

You should be nicer to Graven, Maggie. Yeah, he's messed up some, but he's trying to make it right. He loves you very very much, whatever kind of relationship you have. That's why he couldn't hide things from you anymore. You're mad at him now, for NOT hiding things from you? Because it was entirely his call to set things straight.

As far as your dad goes... it's good to love your dad. But he may have gotten himself involved in something bigger than the both of you. Don't beat yourself up about it, not your fault. Don't beat him up about it either, because sometimes good kind people make tragic mistakes.

Maggy, what you're remembering are alternate pasts and events that could have happened, but didn't. We don't know why our presence is causing such memories to manifest; Possibly our extra-temporal form is reacting badly to something that happened to you in the past. We just don't know, but we trust your friends will find out and set things right.

We'll vacate your mind so this doesn't get worse. For the moment, focus on the here and now, and don't think or remember. Clear your mind, let everything that comes in slide past, and focus on your breathing and your friend's embrace. Goodbye, and sorry.

[SWITCH FOCUS: Lizbeth]

Lizbeth, just in case you didn't hear what we told Maggy, we suspect our outside-of-time power and status is reacting badly to some part of Maggy, causing her to remember parts of possible pasts. She needs simple comfort and quiet right now, so keep hugging her and be silent until she's feeling a bit better.

...Though, while you're doing that, could you test a hunch I have. Drop the solid illusion on Maggy's face, and use your knowledge of illusions to examine her scarring to see if it's a permanent illusion. It's probably not, but you may as well check.

...What knocked the bouquet off the table...? Liz, there may be an invisible person in the room right now. Don't move, use your illusion knowledge, and look around for anything odd. Don't react if you do spot something.

Keep cuddling and comforting Maggy. Whisper that it's going to be all right; It'll get better. Create a solid illusion of a warm blanket around you two. Softly hum that Precursor tune you remembered to her, and hold her for as long as she needs you to. Just don't go beyond hugging level. In her state, it'd be real risky to get into anything more than that. Perhaps when she's in a better place, but not now.

(Though, just to be silly, create solid illusions of the ball pit balls stuck on the end of your and Maggy's horns.)

>there is some magic residue on the scar though
That might have something to do with her remembering her alternate past time-line selves when we were in contact with her. Better make a mental note to talk to Graven about analyzing it later.

>I mean, the flower probably fell because we ripped the door off…
You'd think so, except they fell off the table suspiciously long after the door was ripped off and put back. Could you just humor us and create a solid illusion of a bunch of confetti at ceiling level. It'll fall down and outline anyone hiding in here. Hopefully that'll put our paranoia to rest for now.

I think it's plenty obvious at this point that Graven would really prefer it if he had Maggy to himself. He got kinda pissed off when Liz made out with her in front of him and proposed that they both date her. When she backed off a bit, he calmed down.

Besides...

Liz doesn't even feel that way about Maggy.

I say again, we have been pushing Liz into giving the wrong impression. Maggy falling in love with her is a bad thing. The harem ending will not work, and will blow up in our faces if we really try for it, since Graven isn't into it either. Give up on it.

The harem route is potentially viable, but will only work if we pick them both up at once, as a couple. Which they aren't yet. They have issues, big ones, still hanging over their heads.

So love is good, but we should ease off until we've fixed their faces and see what they do with each other. Graven has been extraordinarily non-committal on the whole thing and we haven't concretely nailed down the why. We need to see that resolved or clarified before advancing with either of them further.

Anyway, there's some kind of ninja or something on the table. So, like, illusion up a cage or something surrounding the table. And ask who they are and what they want, I guess.

Unfortunately, this intruder puts the brakes on talking to Maggy about your relationship with her right now. You're going to have to tell her later that you only want to be friends right now, not lovers. You don't know if you want to go that way, for the time being.

>Guys I can't see the quest anymore! What's happening? Why is my Internet almost accidentally?
Because Batman accidentally your internet with politics and… wait, if your internet is accidentally, how are you writing that?

>Desperate porn addicts of the world- rebuild the internet!
And thus, a new era began for Mankind. A new world order, composed of millions porn addicts, rose from the ashes of the former world government we knew. This new order brought great prosperity and huge leaps of technological advancement as they not only rebuild the internet to its former glory, but made it 50% faster in the search for porn. With the help of this new technology they united the war torn world and created a Utopia, a golden age of mankind. Within days all wars had ended and world peace prospered, every disease had been cured, immortality had been reached and most importantly, Half-Life Episode 3 was released. But then Batman released the bat-ice9, wiping out all of humanity and destroying earth itself.

Well there is an invisible person there. They haven't attacked Liz and Maggie YET though. Unfortunately we kinda knocked Liz out by confusing her on issues of the heart. Some of us are all for falling in love with Maggie and Graven while others aren't. In case your wondering I'm all for finding out if Graven has smooth skin all over.

Really though it is up to you four. But as you probably know Liz takes what we suggest pretty seriously and we haven't been this divided on an issue before. It kinda overwhelmed her.

There's something in this room that's making people fall asleep, probably originating from the invisible object Graven sensed. Either a gas canister, area of effect magic item, or some Precursor-tech gadget. You'll figure out what later, just get Graven out of here. He wasn't exposed for long, so he might recover if taken outside right now.

Before heading back in, stand back from the doorway and take several deep breaths, then hold your breath and rush back in. Feel around in the corners of the room for any invisible objects. Once found, judge how big it is by touch. Head back out, and either fill a bucket with water, if it's small enough to fit in one, or carry it at a run to a nearby water barrel or tank, to drown the object in. If it's a gas, the water will absorb it, and if it's Precursor-tech, it might short out, so don't hold your hands in the water. You only have to worry if it's a purely magical item. For that you'll have to wait for Graven to wake up, or find another mage to dispel or deactivate it.

No, it doesn't work. We covered that already- she would just rewind to just before killing herself. The rewind is only useful for preventing a gameover from something happening to HER.

Unless there's some way for us to get better control over that rewind power, we lost Graven. That's it. Death is the end, there's no resurrection. Also Kevros is about to die, but... I'd like to note that if he does die, then Oracle was wrong about his fate. If he dies, then that proves Oracle is fallible, and everything she's predicted about the future goes down the toilet.

Personally I'm hoping this is a dream sequence or something. Liz DID just fall asleep. Heck, we might even be disconnected from the true timeline due to hopping into Maggy's head.

Oh, fyi Cupiditas is Ridcully, and is supposed to die from "too much power". I haven't the foggiest idea why he attacked us, after we gave him that virtue gem. He should be grateful, not trying to murder us out of nowhere!

Liz, shouldn't you be asleep and kidnapped due to the drugged flowers? Wait, is Kevros with you right now? It's possible that we're not seeing the right reality. If Kevros is with you, I think we'll want to switch to you again to try to realign ourselves.

Alright, we might have focus switched to Maggy, and whatever part of her had a bad reaction to us is showing a possible time-line in her dream. One way to find out.

[SWITCH FOCUS: Maggy]
[SET: INTERNAL VOICE VOLUME: %MAX]
WAKE UP, MAGGY!

Alternatively, if that doesn't work:
[SWITCH FOCUS: Lizbeth]
And we'll figure out what the hell is going on here from there.

>liz, drop whatever the fuck you are doing and just come here to kevros.
>Cupiditas.... you will DIE for this. In every time, in every place. We will help whomever we encounter erase you from existence if need be.
…I don’t think they can hear you…
>Kill yourself Liz.
…no…no, she can’t…no…please…

I’m sorry, Lizbeth. …I love you…

...please be a dream sequence or a hallucination or something. Otherwise I'm just gonna sit here mashing the reboot button on the universe. Or waiting for the next iteration of the time loop to start.

Wait, Lizbeth is already occupied?

...[switch to Kevros]

Lizbeth is already occupied? How? Unless... Unless something else is in whatever "slot" we occupy when we switch focus. Guys, someone is impersonating us! Oooo! We're going to give them such a thrashing!

Wait a sec... Shouldn't we be auto-switching focus since Kevros is dead? Something is really wrong here. I'm suspecting an elaborate illusion.

A-ha! Graven's corpse vanished when Cupiditas was slain. That means he may still be alive. Time to go through the "switch focus" Rolodex.

[SWITCH FOCUS: Graven]
[SWITCH FOCUS: Kevros]
[SWITCH FOCUS: Maggy]
And just to see if this shoves the impostor out:
[SWITCH FOCUS: Lizbeth] x 99
