*Tosses a leaky fire X-tinguisher at CC*

Eat Lead! Which is…which is what it’s made of.

Granted Rethyx hasn’t been seen in the Level Gate, the fire extinguisher flies off.

[switching-beats]

fwoooo not lookin to find out how much THOSE would hurt... *huh, he wonders if its direct, or if its sort of like that old... "operation buzzer" game where if even a little part of him touches it, the pain goes throughout his whole body, either way, he carefully looks around and just, stays alert so he can spot if another attack is coming or not, and from where*

Well THAT’S certainly fun.

[switching-beats]

[switching-beats]

oh this isn't so baaad *right after he says that, giant blue warning light* oh - *he tries to jump or, fly out of the way? that is if a beatmap grants anyone the ability to fly if they enter it to keep up with the other shapes*

The pulsating cubes slammed into the ground just as you moved out of the way, a second too late and you would’ve gotten hurt.

Huh. Now the ground was covered in pulsating cube-ness. Better not touch that…

huh, guess its a culture or personal thing... alright, lets do this *he's ready to start dodging, though is unsure if he can block or counter attacks, since covering himself in plasma is a way he defends himself, though beatmaps have their own logic so, only one way to find out if he's pushed into that position*

The level itself was pretty simple and seemingly easy, just dodge the waves of squares coming from the big one.

Yes. Very easy.

But you still might want to watch out.

[switching-beats]

huh, you sound alot more happy now that we're actually in the beatmap

Rethyx: “It has been some time since I’ve last fought anyshape!! Now…”

Rethyx: “Let us begin.”

[switching-beats]

Uhhh...U-Uhhhhhhh-...

*Throws a large bag of cookies at Rethyx*

TAKE THESE!!!! >:O

ENJOY THEM!!!!!!!! >:V

I HOPE THEY TASTE GOOD!!!!!!! >:C

*Is speaking in a weirdly angry tone despite giving Rethyx a thumbs up in approval*

Rethyx is…. Very confused by the bag of cookies. He’s a ghost!! He doesn’t need to eat!! He appreciates the bag anyway.

[switching-beats]

(love the way you drew him) huh, now that I think about it, might be my first time personally being in one of these... welp, glad I've seen enough of others in these

Rethyx: "Wonderful! I'm sure the minor experience from watching others will help!! Worry not, however, I'll go easy on you!"

Rethyx: "...? What is that??"

Rethyx: "Ah, a supposed blow to the self esteem of mine, how.... Vulgar."

[switching-beats]

alright lets do this *as for whenever they all enter the level* weeeee

The level is dark, as per expected from levels.

Nothing of note so far…

Rethyx: “Welcome to my level, I do hope I’m not too rusty, it’s been ages since I’ve fought anyone.”

With that, the level starts, Cheat Codes - Nitro Fun

[switching-beats]

alright, lets get this done then *huh, wonder what he'll look like when he enters a level like everyone else from last time*

Rethyx: “Well then come onnnn!!” The ghostly shape makes his way into the level gate, which now presented Funk with the choice to enter, of which they did. The sooner this is over with the sooner they can talk to the Lights that resided here.

Bas: “I’ll be joining in too, better safe than sorry.”

Now, dear askers, will you join?

[switching-beats]

Where's the ghostbusters when you need them?

"Well... Lady Death, Masanai, is usually responsible for souls crossing into the afterlife... Ghosts hardly exist because she's good at her job."

"What's so wrong about sticking around and having fun hm??"

[switching-beats]

oh god dammit we gotta do that AGAIN? well... least I get to see what its like unlike last time, least I think there was a last time...

"Aahhh do not worry, I'm not too difficult..... Compared to other levels you might have faced all you have to do is get to the end!!"

"Well... Sounds easy enough I suppose!"

Funk: "Ah- thank you!!"

Enter the level? YES | YES

[switching-beats]

.......we have to beat your level for answers are we...

“Perchance.”

[switching-beats]

What do we have to do to make you talk?

"Quite simple really."

"You know what this is, yes??"

"A level gate...."

Rethyx: "Precisely!!! I'm sure you can put two and two together~"
