Hallucinations

((Thanks for picking the weird one friend :p))

--------------------

She appears before you sometimes, a phantom of myriad colors that floats through your shattered thoughts. You have been sick for several days at this point, your fever making you see images and scenes that cross the line between beautiful and horrific with passing regularity. It is a small relief, you think in your muddled manner as your tired brain observes her, that she isn't a spider this time. You patience for being devoured by the phantoms conjured up by your own mind is short as it is.As it stands though you find her presence pleasant enough. The Knight makes her way to your bedside and calmly replaces the small cold pack on your head. It is a small relief, you suppose, that you at least have your dreams to comfort you while you are all alone. 

It is only later when you wake again from your fever dreams and remove the newly placed pack on your forehead that you realize the truth. You have never been so glad to be wrong.

An Ending

It has been a long journey to this point, you conclude as you look upon the world you and your companions have created. You have risen high from your humble beginnings as a college student to your current status as one of the creators of a new universe. The journey was long and hard, your personal failings along the way are as numerous as the stars in your old universe. But never the less, you succeeded where you once failed and created a happy ending. There was no final sojourn through darkness, no hero left behind. As you hold the hand of the one you've come to care for, you can't help but feel satisfied with a job well done. ((Better late than never no?))

(The gif apparently does not want to load properly so here is the animated version)

Fraymotif Name: Deduction Dissonance 

Aspects Needed: Mind 

Owner: circuitousAntipathy 

Participants Needed: 1 

Cost: 1000 Boonbucks

Effects: Upon physical contact the user of this fraymotif tears down the facades and barriers that the target puts up within their own mind. The target is forced to confront all of the choices and memories that they regretted or hated as well as select memories from the user’s mind. Everything the target hoped to lock away or forget is brought to the forefront in an attempt to crush their ego. 

[circuitousantipathyv2]

Well the experiments are finished and I've gotten what I wanted. I'll be packing up the second lab for good after this. With time running out I have to hurry with the rest of it but I should be able to finish on time. 

Heh.

[circuitousantipathyv2]

Well, I almost died heroically today. Thank god for small blessings. The final battle is tomorrow folks so lets give it our all!

[circuitousantipathyv2]

CA: Finish Your Last Weapon Alchemy

This is is. You've found the perfect combination for your sword and turned up the weapon's deadliness by a factor of ten.

DOWNFALL’S DEMISE && KILL QUEEN FIGMA == Bites the Dust (Wand-Sword) End game Wandkind and Swordkind weapon. A jet black rapier covered in a glowing teal mathematical formulas. Has a strange white skull on the end of the pommel. Deals triple the damage of Downfall's Demise and can channel CA's arithmancy. Its true ability though lies in when it actually deals damage to a target. Any wounds dealt by this sword explode 3 seconds after they are dealt. The explosion is usually fatal.

[circuitousantipathyv2]

A Good Time For Everyone?

I'm thinking we need to meet tomorrow. Would say 9PM EST be a good time for you all? If not, any ideas for a good time to meet?

[circuitousantipathyv2]

Time for a Meeting

Hello once again everyone. I'm sure the majority of you have kept up with preparing for the upcoming fight but at the moment we are still without a plan of action. If possible, would it be feasible to have a meeting on either tonight, tomorrow, or Saturday? We need to brainstorm how to handle our current situation really. Any idea for a time or place to have it?

[circuitousantipathyv2]

ATTENTION PLAYERS:

If you have not already, please add your information to this list here. We only have seven days left until our final battle and we need to know everyone's classpect if we are going to put your abilities to good use! If we can I'd like to propose that we all meet sometime before then to come up with a strategy. In the meantime, everyone train, get your god weapons, collect as many frays as possible, and try and figure out who would be good to combo those frays with.

Good luck and stay in touch with your fellow players. Cooperation is key here!

An update on FF

EQ and I managed to erase the memories causing his insanity so he is mostly fine now.  On a similar note I never want anything to do with the SCP again. One dungeon of mind-bending horror is enough thank you. And Gambit wonders why I refuse to clear my final dungeon........

[circuitousantipathyv2]

∞ Honestly its like certain people don’t realize the consequences to being abusive to their players and altering the base game code for their own gain. Its not hard to think about you know? If you are abusive and manipulative then /of course/ people are going to take offense. On another note I…

[enderquestral-deactivated201901]

Athena: What I myself find so shocking is that people seem to not know what the definition of a “deal” is. Here, let me help a bit:

Deal: 1. to take part in commercial trading of a particular commodity 2. an agreement entered into by two or more parties for their mutual benefit, esp. in a business or political context.

The actions of project Omelas were agreed upon. If the subject wished to quit or leave for any reason, due to the deal not being favorable anymore, then all actions would be halted. But that didn’t happen.

Also, when did you people think it really involved other players? Granted, the focus was on code, but the things tested on were dead lands, my land, and players that agreed to be subjects. I wouldn’t subject someone to be a test subject unwillingly! That would just be immoral.  

-And you say that now. Power corrupts, and who knows? Maybe you will eventually need to edit some code, just to fully understand what it does. It’s not out of the question… unless you plan to destroy your own copy of the machine. If so, then all the better. Some people, I can trust with a thing like that. You do not happen to be one of them. 

[circuitousantipathyv2]

∞ Tsk, tsk, tsk, for a goddess of Wisdom you sure are narrow minded. Or is it that you are trying to divert attention from the fact that you manipulated Hannah into that deal? No matter how “happy” you claim to have made her, her mental state when I convinced her to come out of her shell was not something a person just falls into. No, her worldview had obviously been shaped by someone who systematically broke down her confidence and sense of self until she was willing to do anything that person wanted to be able to escape from her situation.  All the evidence points to you Athena. You can’t escape from what you’ve done. On another note, do you really think I need to play God with the source code to understand it? It must be a byproduct of your own horrifically back programming skills that makes you think so. I’ve taught freshman undergraduates with more skill than you. In any event I’m well on my way to understanding this game and despite the distrust you seem to want to sow between myself and the rest of the players, it is not sticking. I won’t allow this session or it’s players to be damaged and I certainly won’t let you get away with what you’ve done. You may believe yourself untouchable Athena but there is nothing in Paradox Space that will stop me now that I’ve decided to bring you to justice. Σ

[enderquestral-deactivated201901]

Athena: I must question the legitimacy of your statements on my players previous mental state, considering the fact that you “were the only person who could have been a witness” to what the inside of her very mind was like. I myself don’t even know the entirety of it. We have no “proof” of what happened, besides your word, and I, nor any reasonable court, would count that as “substantial and unbiased evidence.” I don’t know what happened to her mental state over the course of those tests, or why it did. I wish I did. I wish I had information like that on hand.

I refuse to apologize for progress. Nor will I apologize for gaining information that could be useful in the future, especially is everything was agreed to.   

As for your machine: granted, you don’t need to really touch code to understand what it does. What it could do, well, that’s another story. I must ask though: If you have gained more than enough information, why keep it? That machine is really only good for code manipulation, and not much more. If you truly say that the machine had no purpose for you, besides just confirming some things for yourself… Why haven’t you just recycled it back into grist? That thing is quite costly, mind you.

-And are we honestly down to such a low that pitiful threats are needed? I never wished to “sow distrust between you and other players.” I’ve just been stating how I MYSELF don’t trust you. Clearly reasonable, considering how you basically just threatened me with death. Not of too much importance, considering you are not my player, and she is my greatest threat, in that regard. Still, tsk tsk player. You shouldn’t go saying things like that. Some people might take it seriously, and act accordingly.

[circuitousantipathyv2]

∞ Ah, well this is amusing. You’d like to dismiss my claims about her mental state but sadly for you I rigged my thought-to-text technology to record my memories months ago. You can read what happened here. Poor girl, had I not stepped in she would have never come out. How convenient for you. As for the machine: I never said I hadn’t already done that. Don’t you know its not wise to jump to conclusions like that? In any event I will be moving my lab shortly. We won’t be neighbors anymore how sad. And on your last comments: Have I not told you that I will allow no harm to come to this session and it’s players? You may hold little to no regard for us but that does not mean I would let you get away with the potentially dangerous alterations you pulled.

In the end it is up to the players to decide the fate of the new universe not you and by altering Hannah you put her role in the alpha timeline in danger. I saw a threat to the session and I acted accordingly. I will not apologize for attacking you nor will I make any excuses. I did what I thought was right. If anyone has any objections they can certainly bring them to me but I won’t guarantee that I will agree with them. Σ

Athena: What I myself find so shocking is that people seem to not know what the definition of a “deal” is. Here, let me help a bit:

Deal: 1. to take part in commercial trading of a particular commodity 2. an agreement entered into by two or more parties for their mutual benefit, esp. in a business or political context.

The actions of project Omelas were agreed upon. If the subject wished to quit or leave for any reason, due to the deal not being favorable anymore, then all actions would be halted. But that didn’t happen.

Also, when did you people think it really involved other players? Granted, the focus was on code, but the things tested on were dead lands, my land, and players that agreed to be subjects. I wouldn’t subject someone to be a test subject unwillingly! That would just be immoral.  

-And you say that now. Power corrupts, and who knows? Maybe you will eventually need to edit some code, just to fully understand what it does. It’s not out of the question… unless you plan to destroy your own copy of the machine. If so, then all the better. Some people, I can trust with a thing like that. You do not happen to be one of them.

∞ Tsk, tsk, tsk, for a goddess of Wisdom you sure are narrow minded. Or is it that you are trying to divert attention from the fact that you manipulated Hannah into that deal? No matter how "happy" you claim to have made her, her mental state when I convinced her to come out of her shell was not something a person just falls into. No, her worldview had obviously been shaped by someone who systematically broke down her confidence and sense of self until she was willing to do anything that person wanted to be able to escape from her situation.  All the evidence points to you Athena. You can't escape from what you've done. On another note, do you really think I need to play God with the source code to understand it? It must be a byproduct of your own horrifically back programming skills that makes you think so. I've taught freshman undergraduates with more skill than you. In any event I'm well on my way to understanding this game and despite the distrust you seem to want to sow between myself and the rest of the players, it is not sticking. I won't allow this session or it's players to be damaged and I certainly won't let you get away with what you've done. You may believe yourself untouchable Athena but there is nothing in Paradox Space that will stop me now that I've decided to bring you to justice. Σ
