same mod as @master-of-puppets-and-shadows

dni: creeps, godmods, anything else i may need to add

magic anons: only ones unallowed are those that save him from this rather horrid fate

[feathered-dough]

*there’s something huge approaching them. something at least three times larger than a normal cookie. something that walks upon four long spindly legs, each step accompanied by the clank of armor. when this thing gets close enough, it gets clearer what it actually is. a giant ant with an exoskeleton of metal armor. bright light glows from within a large split in its chest and the eye slits on its helmet*

*it just … stares at them. it seems curious. and maybe a little cautious*

@the-puppet-knight

Doughael is currently floating upside-down over one of the few patches of dirt in this Rift. And staring back blankly before chirping. Friend? Foe? It's hard to tell...

[the-puppet-knight]

*it carefully comes a little bit closer, making a low chittering clicking sound*

*… it didn’t know other people were in these rifts. is this other cookie a danger? or not?*

[feathered-dough]

It chirps back! Wings fluttering excitedly now, though that mostly just results in it drifting at an angle instead of straight upside-down. It keeps chirping. They seem happy now :)

[the-puppet-knight]

*it tilts its head. the … birdthing seems friendly enough. so they likely aren’t a danger to it*

… who are you?

*its voice sounds … odd. both from lack of use and the fact that giant ants are not known for being able to speak in the first place*

[feathered-dough]

It's managed to right itself, now. And stares for a moment before spreading their wings at the ant. Like that answers the question. Even though it very much so does not.

[the-puppet-knight]

*they stare, waiting for some other form of answer*

*so, this. other thing. is probably a very young. bird creature. whatever it is. just his luck, first cookie he’s enountered in ages and it’s a baby birdthing?*

*they shake their head slightly to get rid of that thought*

… i see..

[feathered-dough]

It chirps again, sounding proud of itself now. They keep looking at the ant, though, through eyes on their wing joints. It seems curious about them...

[the-puppet-knight]

*they go a bit closer to the bird, gently patting their head*

… … how did you come to be in here..?

[feathered-dough]

The bird chirps in response, opening its mouth to reveal too-large fangs before closing its mouth again with more chirping. Hungry...

[the-puppet-knight]

*they look around. if rift-dwelling bird creatures are anything like normal birds, one of this thing’s parents would be nearby to feed it*

*… they’re not sure what they’ll do about the hungry little thing if there’s not*

[feathered-dough]

It... would seem the thing is alone, out here. Perhaps it was abandoned? It chirps more at the ant, louder this time

[the-puppet-knight]

*they have absolutely no clue what this thing would eat. … they don’t have any food with them, anyway*

… do you know how to get out of the rift?

[feathered-dough]

It just chirps more. Did the thing even understand the question??

[the-puppet-knight]

*they are definitely beginning to suspect the bird doesn’t understand them… rather unfortunate, this is the only person they’d encountered for a while. there’s no telling if there’s anything else even living in the rifts*

[feathered-dough]

It chirps again at them. Very intently staring now as well...

[the-puppet-knight]

*they stare back*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

*oh wow, hey! it’s his favorite beast cookie! /silly*

*he looks a little different, some blue eyes hidden in his armor, and one larger one on the front of his helmet*

… … you

@the-puppet-knight

“ME! Uh… who are you?”

[the-puppet-knight]

… i believe you already know

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Just can’t stay away now can ya…” Shadow Milk gripped his staff.

[the-puppet-knight]

*unfortunately, it seems this Shadow Milk has a point. he’d finally gotten an opportunity to escape from his own variant only to end up with … another jester*

… i would have much preferred not finding another of you, but you all seem as invasive and hard to be rid of as cockroaches

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Why thank you.” Shadow Milk took a dramatic bow.

“Now get lost traitor…”

[the-puppet-knight]

that was not meant as a compliment

you dare call me a traitor when you beasts betrayed your virtues long before i sealed us away?

*he does start marching off, though. looking for a good place to try and move to a different timeline*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Said the one who followed right after is into that same pit… Commander! Commander help us! HAHAH!” Shadow Milk mocked Silent Salts soldiers.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he turns around, marching back towards him, reaches towards his sword to unsheathe it and … freezes, a blue glow emitting from the cracks in the armor of that arm, holding it still. the eye on the front of his helmet looks towards the jester with a rather overdramtic roll, as though mocking the knight’s actions*

my knights were trying to fix what you lot broke, don’t you dare mock them

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

Shadow Milk tilts his head. “Now what’s this… this is new. You are different from others. Most would’ve had my head but a little something I saw there stopped you.”

[the-puppet-knight]

i would love nothing more than to cut off your head at this moment, clown.

… something went horribly awry in my timeline and, as you so love to gloat about, the beasts won

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Well that’s a good thing right? We won! No more pesky ancient hero’s! Just beautiful chaos!” Shadow Milk said excitedly.

[the-puppet-knight]

your brand of chaos tends to verge on the apocalyptic

he broke the timeline to accomplish this, as well. does the chaos an action like that leads to truly appeal to you?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Well don’t be such a downer we were supped to do it together but no… you hated us.” Shadow milk crossed his arms.

“In my timeline…. I’m… kind on my own…”

[the-puppet-knight]

we were supposed to cause an apocalypse together? do you even understand how awful that is? or have you finally lost whatever small amount of sanity you had left!?

have you considered changing your title to the Beast of Lonliness?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Like I had any sanity left to begin with…” Shadow Milk said.

“But hey at least I’m doing better than you, puppet boy.”

[the-puppet-knight]

… fair point. i’m sure you’ll also think it wonderful news that the fool managed to destabilize the timelines nearest mine with his idiotic actions

*the eye on his helmet squints up in what may be supposed to be a smile, Shadow Milk seems to have amused the “puppeteer”*

never call me that again

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I call it as I see it….. puppet boy.” He had a cheeky grin.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he growls and makes another failed attempt at pulling out his sword to attack*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Proves my point further! You can’t even fight me cause the other me prevents it. After all him and I both now that harming this dashing face isn’t good for the show.” Shadow Milk winked.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he stops trying to pull out his sword and thinks for a few seconds. well, if physical violence isn’t an option, he’ll just find some other way of annoying the guy*

i’ve always been curious, who keeps telling you that you have a “dashing face”? i believe they may be in need of an eye exam

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Watch yourself.” Shadow Milk said.

“Who said I couldn’t hurt you…?”

[the-puppet-knight]

no one, however, i doubt other you would be muched pleased if you harmed his “puppet”

wasn’t your purpose to answer questions?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Wasn’t yours just to ride on a little horsey and pretend to be a hero…”

[the-puppet-knight]

no, my purpose was to protect the downtrodden and aid those in need.

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“What did I say different? Riding on a little horsey and pretend to be a hero.”

[the-puppet-knight]

Nox Black Salt is a well trained warhorse and none of it was pretend

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Oh I have nothing against that horse I loved that horse. You are on the other hand were the one playing pretend.”

[the-puppet-knight]

that’s unexpected. i assumed you’d be scared of horses like my version of you is..

you have always been more prone to playing games and pretending than i

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I’m sorry… that version of myself is afraid of horses? I loved Nox. He would eat sugar cubes from my hand when we were in the Garden of Delights.”

[the-puppet-knight]

Nox has a grudge against him. for some reason

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Haha! Oh I need to hear that little story.”

[the-puppet-knight]

and i need to not be that maniac’s “puppet” anymore

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Why would he even use you as a puppet? Sure you’re a traitor but I would’ve just killed you..”

[the-puppet-knight]

apparently he considered crumbling me to not be a satisfying enough revenge

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Ha! Classic.” Shadow Milk bonks him on the head.

[the-puppet-knight]

ow..

*the helmet clangs*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

Shadow Milk chuckled a bit.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he attempts to headbutt him, only to once again get stopped by glowing blue magic*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

He laughed again. “Aw the other me kinda taken the fun out of it but oh well.”

[the-puppet-knight]

*the eye on the helmet gives him a rather odd look before the glowing blue magic fades and allows the knight to ACTUALLY headbutt him*

… i didn’t think he’d let me do that

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“OW! WITH THE HELMET OFF GENIUS! OFF! AGH!” Shadow Milk covered his forehead.

[the-puppet-knight]

you are aware he can’t remove my helmet while in a completely different timeline, right?

*he’s gonna attempt another headbutting*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“DO NOT-“

[the-puppet-knight]

*oh, hey, the blue glow has prevented further attacks again. there is a clang of his head hitting the inside of his helmet*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“HAHAHA!” Shadow Milk was in the floor now laughing.

[the-puppet-knight]

of course i have to deal with two of you…

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“That was funny.”

[the-puppet-knight]

i will never understand why you find other’s suffering to be amusing

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I suffered long enough.”

[the-puppet-knight]

hasn’t everyone?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I suppose…”

[the-puppet-knight]

… then why must you add more?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Shut up…”

[the-puppet-knight]

… i don’t think i wil-

*a portal opens nearby, interuppting him*

alright, you’ve had your fun. get back on tree guarding duty, now~!

… nngffhhh

*he growls in anger as he goes through the portal*

[the-puppet-knight]

he is to guard the Silver Seal Tree with what remains of his loyal knights

he thinks he can still hear him sometimes

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

*oh wow, hey! it’s his favorite beast cookie! /silly*

*he looks a little different, some blue eyes hidden in his armor, and one larger one on the front of his helmet*

… … you

“Proves my point further! You can’t even fight me cause the other me prevents it. After all him and I both now that harming this dashing face isn’t good for the show.” Shadow Milk winked.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he stops trying to pull out his sword and thinks for a few seconds. well, if physical violence isn’t an option, he’ll just find some other way of annoying the guy*

i’ve always been curious, who keeps telling you that you have a “dashing face”? i believe they may be in need of an eye exam

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Watch yourself.” Shadow Milk said.

“Who said I couldn’t hurt you…?”

[the-puppet-knight]

no one, however, i doubt other you would be muched pleased if you harmed his “puppet”

wasn’t your purpose to answer questions?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Wasn’t yours just to ride on a little horsey and pretend to be a hero…”

[the-puppet-knight]

no, my purpose was to protect the downtrodden and aid those in need.

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“What did I say different? Riding on a little horsey and pretend to be a hero.”

[the-puppet-knight]

Nox Black Salt is a well trained warhorse and none of it was pretend

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Oh I have nothing against that horse I loved that horse. You are on the other hand were the one playing pretend.”

[the-puppet-knight]

that’s unexpected. i assumed you’d be scared of horses like my version of you is..

you have always been more prone to playing games and pretending than i

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I’m sorry… that version of myself is afraid of horses? I loved Nox. He would eat sugar cubes from my hand when we were in the Garden of Delights.”

[the-puppet-knight]

Nox has a grudge against him. for some reason

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Haha! Oh I need to hear that little story.”

[the-puppet-knight]

and i need to not be that maniac’s “puppet” anymore

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Why would he even use you as a puppet? Sure you’re a traitor but I would’ve just killed you..”

[the-puppet-knight]

apparently he considered crumbling me to not be a satisfying enough revenge

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Ha! Classic.” Shadow Milk bonks him on the head.

[the-puppet-knight]

ow..

*the helmet clangs*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

Shadow Milk chuckled a bit.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he attempts to headbutt him, only to once again get stopped by glowing blue magic*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

He laughed again. “Aw the other me kinda taken the fun out of it but oh well.”

[the-puppet-knight]

*the eye on the helmet gives him a rather odd look before the glowing blue magic fades and allows the knight to ACTUALLY headbutt him*

… i didn’t think he’d let me do that

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“OW! WITH THE HELMET OFF GENIUS! OFF! AGH!” Shadow Milk covered his forehead.

[the-puppet-knight]

you are aware he can’t remove my helmet while in a completely different timeline, right?

*he’s gonna attempt another headbutting*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“DO NOT-“

[the-puppet-knight]

*oh, hey, the blue glow has prevented further attacks again. there is a clang of his head hitting the inside of his helmet*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“HAHAHA!” Shadow Milk was in the floor now laughing.

[the-puppet-knight]

of course i have to deal with two of you…

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“That was funny.”

[the-puppet-knight]

i will never understand why you find other’s suffering to be amusing

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I suffered long enough.”

[the-puppet-knight]

hasn’t everyone?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I suppose…”

[the-puppet-knight]

… then why must you add more?

[the-puppet-knight]

Looking at the most recent update… I feel like you somehow knew something the rest of us didn’t lol

i’m a prophet, trust /silly /j

but really, i watched a summary of that Chronos livestream that mentioned something about SMC preventing the sealing spell and ran with it

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

*oh wow, hey! it’s his favorite beast cookie! /silly*

*he looks a little different, some blue eyes hidden in his armor, and one larger one on the front of his helmet*

… … you

@the-puppet-knight

“ME! Uh… who are you?”

[the-puppet-knight]

… i believe you already know

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Just can’t stay away now can ya…” Shadow Milk gripped his staff.

[the-puppet-knight]

*unfortunately, it seems this Shadow Milk has a point. he’d finally gotten an opportunity to escape from his own variant only to end up with … another jester*

… i would have much preferred not finding another of you, but you all seem as invasive and hard to be rid of as cockroaches

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Why thank you.” Shadow Milk took a dramatic bow.

“Now get lost traitor…”

[the-puppet-knight]

that was not meant as a compliment

you dare call me a traitor when you beasts betrayed your virtues long before i sealed us away?

*he does start marching off, though. looking for a good place to try and move to a different timeline*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Said the one who followed right after is into that same pit… Commander! Commander help us! HAHAH!” Shadow Milk mocked Silent Salts soldiers.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he turns around, marching back towards him, reaches towards his sword to unsheathe it and … freezes, a blue glow emitting from the cracks in the armor of that arm, holding it still. the eye on the front of his helmet looks towards the jester with a rather overdramtic roll, as though mocking the knight’s actions*

my knights were trying to fix what you lot broke, don’t you dare mock them

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

Shadow Milk tilts his head. “Now what’s this… this is new. You are different from others. Most would’ve had my head but a little something I saw there stopped you.”

[the-puppet-knight]

i would love nothing more than to cut off your head at this moment, clown.

… something went horribly awry in my timeline and, as you so love to gloat about, the beasts won

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Well that’s a good thing right? We won! No more pesky ancient hero’s! Just beautiful chaos!” Shadow Milk said excitedly.

[the-puppet-knight]

your brand of chaos tends to verge on the apocalyptic

he broke the timeline to accomplish this, as well. does the chaos an action like that leads to truly appeal to you?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Well don’t be such a downer we were supped to do it together but no… you hated us.” Shadow milk crossed his arms.

“In my timeline…. I’m… kind on my own…”

[the-puppet-knight]

we were supposed to cause an apocalypse together? do you even understand how awful that is? or have you finally lost whatever small amount of sanity you had left!?

have you considered changing your title to the Beast of Lonliness?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Like I had any sanity left to begin with…” Shadow Milk said.

“But hey at least I’m doing better than you, puppet boy.”

[the-puppet-knight]

… fair point. i’m sure you’ll also think it wonderful news that the fool managed to destabilize the timelines nearest mine with his idiotic actions

*the eye on his helmet squints up in what may be supposed to be a smile, Shadow Milk seems to have amused the “puppeteer”*

never call me that again

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I call it as I see it….. puppet boy.” He had a cheeky grin.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he growls and makes another failed attempt at pulling out his sword to attack*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Proves my point further! You can’t even fight me cause the other me prevents it. After all him and I both now that harming this dashing face isn’t good for the show.” Shadow Milk winked.

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Well don’t be such a downer we were supped to do it together but no… you hated us.” Shadow milk crossed his arms.

“In my timeline…. I’m… kind on my own…”

[the-puppet-knight]

we were supposed to cause an apocalypse together? do you even understand how awful that is? or have you finally lost whatever small amount of sanity you had left!?

have you considered changing your title to the Beast of Lonliness?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Like I had any sanity left to begin with…” Shadow Milk said.

“But hey at least I’m doing better than you, puppet boy.”

[the-puppet-knight]

… fair point. i’m sure you’ll also think it wonderful news that the fool managed to destabilize the timelines nearest mine with his idiotic actions

*the eye on his helmet squints up in what may be supposed to be a smile, Shadow Milk seems to have amused the “puppeteer”*

never call me that again

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I call it as I see it….. puppet boy.” He had a cheeky grin.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he growls and makes another failed attempt at pulling out his sword to attack*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Proves my point further! You can’t even fight me cause the other me prevents it. After all him and I both now that harming this dashing face isn’t good for the show.” Shadow Milk winked.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he stops trying to pull out his sword and thinks for a few seconds. well, if physical violence isn’t an option, he’ll just find some other way of annoying the guy*

i’ve always been curious, who keeps telling you that you have a “dashing face”? i believe they may be in need of an eye exam

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Watch yourself.” Shadow Milk said.

“Who said I couldn’t hurt you…?”

[the-puppet-knight]

no one, however, i doubt other you would be muched pleased if you harmed his “puppet”

wasn’t your purpose to answer questions?

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Wasn’t yours just to ride on a little horsey and pretend to be a hero…”

[the-puppet-knight]

no, my purpose was to protect the downtrodden and aid those in need.

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“What did I say different? Riding on a little horsey and pretend to be a hero.”

[the-puppet-knight]

Nox Black Salt is a well trained warhorse and none of it was pretend

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Oh I have nothing against that horse I loved that horse. You are on the other hand were the one playing pretend.”

[the-puppet-knight]

that’s unexpected. i assumed you’d be scared of horses like my version of you is..

you have always been more prone to playing games and pretending than i

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“I’m sorry… that version of myself is afraid of horses? I loved Nox. He would eat sugar cubes from my hand when we were in the Garden of Delights.”

[the-puppet-knight]

Nox has a grudge against him. for some reason

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Haha! Oh I need to hear that little story.”

[the-puppet-knight]

and i need to not be that maniac’s “puppet” anymore

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Why would he even use you as a puppet? Sure you’re a traitor but I would’ve just killed you..”

[the-puppet-knight]

apparently he considered crumbling me to not be a satisfying enough revenge

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“Ha! Classic.” Shadow Milk bonks him on the head.

[the-puppet-knight]

ow..

*the helmet clangs*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

Shadow Milk chuckled a bit.

[the-puppet-knight]

*he attempts to headbutt him, only to once again get stopped by glowing blue magic*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

He laughed again. “Aw the other me kinda taken the fun out of it but oh well.”

[the-puppet-knight]

*the eye on the helmet gives him a rather odd look before the glowing blue magic fades and allows the knight to ACTUALLY headbutt him*

… i didn’t think he’d let me do that

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“OW! WITH THE HELMET OFF GENIUS! OFF! AGH!” Shadow Milk covered his forehead.

[the-puppet-knight]

you are aware he can’t remove my helmet while in a completely different timeline, right?

*he’s gonna attempt another headbutting*

[the-liar-the-thief-the-jester]

“DO NOT-“

[the-puppet-knight]

*oh, hey, the blue glow has prevented further attacks again. there is a clang of his head hitting the inside of his helmet*
