>Talk about bread

The rabbit girl, J, shuffles her feet. “So, uh, you hear about that lady who made sourdough from her yeast infection?”

The fox, E, is quite upset. “This is stupid.” she says.

“We have to do it or we’ll die, come on, just—just make shit up.”

E sighs. “Wow that is so crazy, did the bread turn out okay?”

“No, it went a-rye! Also, eating bread amirite? That’ll make you fat.” the rabbit jokes. The masked figure nods with approval and leaves.

>Try to block the camera with toilet paper
The toilet paper is shitty one ply garbage. When J tries to dip it in the toilet bowl it dissolves in her paw.

>Make a toilet paper decoy
The girls only have one roll, unfortunately.

>Clog the toilet with tp
J takes the entire roll and jams it down the toilet. When she attempts to flush it, the pipes groan and the bowl starts to fill with water.

>Air vents
E points to the air vents. “Do you think those would make you look fat?”

J catches on quickly. “Oh yes, my hips are much too wide, but you have a wonderful figure.

“Check the other vent.” J says. “I’m going to look at the toilet tank for pads and tampons. I’m due for my period and I have really heavy flow so if there aren’t any that would be awful.”

Meanwhile, J is having a severe existential crisis. She takes the high ground against the rats and fends them off with a chunk of ceramic. The rats don’t react to their wounds, and the best she can do is keep them away.

E: We are going to need to find a cellphone or a portable gaming system so he can travel with us while he plays. See if there is one in the room, maybe that masked man left one in here for this fish. If not here, we'll need to search another room... or convince the fish to have the masked man get him a portable gaming system.

They get the door open and find a dingy little room, empty except for a desk with three computer monitors on it.

There are sticky notes attached to the three monitors labeled ‘Mom’, ‘Dad’, and ‘Me’ in order. The mom cell is empty, as far as the girls can tell. The camera to the me cell is broken, and J can see the rats eating the remnants of the fish in the dad cell.

Both of you halt for a moment and consider: it is very likely the magic messed up and this is an unforeseen magic-induced hallucination.

Also wow, Dad's summoner is here? Bringing him back would sure make them happy. Or, just giving Dad a way to visit would be nice, in the case of you making this place livable.

Anyway first thing's first ask them to give you a tour and explain how things work here. Looks like they've been fighting back? Good work!

You yelp as a machete lands between your eyes. It doesn’t hurt you, per se, but it’s the first time your form has been affected by an outside force and it’s upsetting.

You think hard about the gold star and the rings. The star was created from the relief of your parents and the joy of the other Magics’ at the success of your first mission. Then you shaped it into a tool to help your new creation and favorite summoner.

You ponder the stars a little more. The one that brought you here has enough juice to bring you back, and is operating off your shaping in the mortal world. Molded to your form as it is, you can assess how much energy is behind it, and it’s not enough to create another retirement world.

Your mother theorized that the stars could only do small tasks, but now you think that she’s wrong. You gave the gold star a very simple task and all the leftover power had to go somewhere.

The stars don’t need curses to power themselves, luckily, but they’re far more potent than anyone realized.

The imitation Gruoch corpse is still in the hallway. There seem to be smaller rats spilling out of the body cavity. You consider the still wet blood with a frown.

The real Gruoch was getting a headache because her curse could somehow tell that the star was pulling a retirement on her. Since the imitation can’t be revived with the tube in the kitchen, the anti-Magic was at least making giving the star a hard time.

Where is that fish anyway? You stomp down the hallway to check on the middle room.

Nobody’s there. You leave E and J to play video games while you check the rest of the facility.

You can’t find C anywhere. He’s not even showing up on the respawn tube tablet anymore. The fish is gone.

Maybe he left with dad? Hmmmm. Talk to your summoner and minion

I have a bad feeling about this.

Let's try testing our powers with the monitors.

Sounds like he convinced the Dad part of the ring to let him go. Do you have enough power to get E and J out yet?
You could always go to G's room and see if the entity there will show up.
>>
No. 1001171 ID: 031458

Hmm. Check the monitors. Check the outside.
If need be you can always easy the rings outside of it comes down to it.
Take another look at yourself. How much power does your red star have? How much power do you have? Are you only physically stronger? Or can you do some fun stuff?
It's there a way to take these clones with you?

C must have convinced the Dad part of the ring to let him go, without asking for freedom for the rest of you. That darned fish! You are both impressed by his selfishness and disturbed by the thought that he could suck your father back into a toxic relationship.

Before you report back to E and J, you assess your current power. You have enough juice that you could send one person back to the real world. The remaining power sources you can consume are the respawn tube and the orbiting rings.

Your stomach burbles and you feel vaguely ill. All this conflicting energy is disagreeing with your digestion.

Send the other Emma back first. She needs backup.
>>
No. 1001183 ID: 031458

Hmm. Then maybe slow down. Perhaps it will take some time for you to properly absorb the energies you have consumed.
There are video games and your two favorite people here. Hang out.

Send one person back, that will burn off extra power and calm your stomach; afterwards you can regain some power and send the other one. Might as well send Jo back first since she's less likely to cause trouble.

You decide to send one girl back now to relieve your nausea, eat some more, and then send the other. You explain the plan to E and J, who both nod eagerly.

“Who are you going to send back first?” J asks.

“I’ll do it randomly.” you declare. Showing favoritism would be in poor taste.

You shut your eyes and wave your hand in the air.

“It’s just us now.” J says cheerfully. “I probably should have mentioned this before, but E wants to eat her other self.”

“Oh. I’m sure they’ll work it out.” you say.

Your legs have shrunk back into your body and you settle into the threadbare couch to rest for a moment.

Whatre you gonna do when you go back? Make friends with yourself? Go traveling? Make out with yourself?

No. 1001213 ID: eaa5e7

When you're ready, eat the cloning machine, punch a hole in the wall, and take J with you as you eat the rings (in case doing so collapses the structure)
Then go back together

You play a quaint co-op cooking game with J while you wait for your appetite to return.

“What will you do when you go to the real world? I hope you get along with Jo.” you say.

“I mean, she’s different from me. I have tits and no job or boyfriend. I think I’ll say hi to her and then go do my own thing.”

She pats you on the head. “Send me back with some cash and IDs and I’ll be happy.”

After several levels of sizzling meat and cooking soup, your stomach starts to growl. J follows you as you head up the stairs and gulp down the respawn tube.

“Stay where I can see you in the window.” you tell J. “I’m going outside to eat the rings.”

You sprout a spiky pair of wings and soar out into the vacuum. The rings glow faintly, like angelic strips of cheddar cheese.

It will take you a while to eat the rings. What do you do to avoid getting sick while you eat?

Can you poop out the toxic parts that make you sick while you do it?

You take it slow at first, scraping away the rings with your teeth and letting the shavings fall down your throat. Whenever you feel sick you stop for a brief rest.

As the rings shrink, you grow until you’re larger than the facility and can easily swallow whole sections of gold nothing. You taste each piece carefully and leave particularly conflicting parts behind.

J offers you a steaming cup of tea when you return, swollen with success. You take it gratefully.

“I think I can send you to the mortal world and go back home.” you say.

“Great.” says J.

Is there anything you’d like to do before you leave?

This hell is inactive and has been abandoned. Feel free to play the video games. They're alright.
If you are trapped without Star-power, this dimension responds to Hope, Despair, the Power of friendship, and Video games.
Good Luck.

Can you look at the place better now that you're powerful? Maybe find out what your mom's part of the facility was doing with the wheel and G.

You’re not sure if the retirement dimensions are connected, but you pen a polite hand-written note for any Magic that may stumble across the old facility. You include advice on how to avoid torturing mortals for eternity.

You create a bubble of air for J and let her hop onto your head.

The two of you admire the facility for a moment. You memorize the structure so you can analyze it later.

“What was the deal with the rat?” J finally asks. “The construct wanted her to run on a wheel, which is like, unpleasant after a while but not the worst thing in the world.”

You ponder the question. Your mother wants Gruoch alive and healthy, but suffering.

“Running must make you age better. Like a wine.” you say.

“What.”
