RE:KMRG - NIER-MISS (EPISODE 8)

Okay, so...we basically have to get these two to their proper endings. How hard could it be?

Kyle. You know damn well the answer to that question. VERY fucking hard.

- Kyle, Alter, Violet, Susie, Dystopiac, Eight, Advisor and 2B (Team Rental): Mr. Rental selected! -

Mr. Rental: i better find out where i am.

[Mr. Rental starts walking down the streets.]

Mr. Rental: i think I'm at the park, but for some reason it looks different. maybe because crashing my car caused those airbags hit me in the head lol.

[An MS Paint render of Keemstar runs past Mr. Rental in the background.]

MS Paint Keemstar: I'm fast as fuck, boy!

Mr. Rental: i know the way to my shop from here. hopefully, the route is the same.

Sprengtrep: Hey, you!

[Sprengtrep steps out of the alleyway.]

Mr. Rental: what's the problem?

Sprengtrep: You're Mr. Rental! You're the one who killed that guy!

Mr. Rental: you what, mate?

Sprengtrep: Over there!

[The scene shifts to the crime scene of Eminem's murder.]

-----

Alter: "Oh CHRIST. Kyle, there was someone in the way when we crashed into Rental's car!"

Kyle: "What the hell do you mean...oh shit. Yeah, I think M.O.S.H.I. couldn't detect that one fast enough. And now Rental's being blamed for it...crap."

M.O.S.H.I.: "And to make matters worse, Kyle, scans indicate he was shot by a Remington 870 Express Tactical before we stomped him into the pavement. The same type of shotgun Mr. Rental used in that transmission we found."

Violet: "Shit, this isn't looking good. We need to make sure Mr. Rental makes it out of this okay!"

-----

Will Smith: Get that motherfucker!

-----

Dystopiac: "Yeah, what Mr. Slap-Happy said!"

-----

[The screen starts shaking as an angry mob charges towards Mr. Rental.]

[The phrase "Mr. Rental needs your help!" appears onscreen, with the options being "RUN" and "Clear Name".]

Narrator: Looks like some people are upset at Mr. Rental. Should he run or try and clear his name?

-----

Alter: "Susie, which way do we go?"

Susie: "The 'RUN' pathway! The Corruption Ending is on that path!"

Alter: "Got it. HI-YAH!"

[Alter jumps up and kicks the "RUN" option in mid-air, selecting it.]

- Henry, Ellie, Joke-Explainer, PMD!Kyle & Blastie (Team Own): Mr. Own selected! -

Mr. Own: why does everything look old as fuck? what year is it even?

[Mr. Own pulls out his phone, which reads "2019...probably."]

Mr. Own: well, at least there are no mashups in sight...

[The camera pans to the right to reveal Big Chungus, then pans to the left to reveal Grandpa, then pans back to Mr. Own.]

Mr. Own: god dammit...

Narrator: Well, it seems Mr. Own still has some mashups that need to be banned, but he can only chase one!

Narrator: Which one should he go after?

-----

Henry: "I'm with the narrator on this one. Which way to Yin Without Yang, JE?"

Joke-Explainer: "Following Big Chungus will give the result that we want."

Ellie: "Alright. PMD!Kyle, gimme a boost."

PMD!Kyle: "Alright, Ellie, here you go. Remember to keep your balance. Aaaand...alley-OOP!"

[PMD!Kyle uses his paws to give Ellie a jump boost up to the choices, and slams a stop sign into the "Mr. Own follows Big Chungus" option.]

- Team Rental: Mr. Rental runs! -

[Mr. Rental runs away.]

Mr. Rental: there's no way i'll be able to convince them. i better run away.

[Mr. Rental breaks the window to a parked car and steals it.]

MS Paint Keemstar: Still fast as fuck, boy!

[Mr. Rental hits the MS Paint-ified Keemstar with the stolen car before driving through a blocked-off zone.]

Mr. Rental: the blow to my head definitely makes this seem like it's a strange land, but the way to my house should still be the same, airbag injury or not.

[Mr. Rental drives by the HQRip HQ.]

Mr. Rental: the high quality rip hq! i know those guys! they might be able to help me as well.

[The text "Mr. Rental needs your help!" appears onscreen, with the choices being "Mr. Rental goes to HQRip HQ" and "Mr. Rental goes home"]

Narrator: It seems we are at a little crossroads here. Which way should Mr. Rental go?

----

Alter: "Yeah, which way is the right one, Susie?"

Advisor: "Why are we hiding, anyways?"

Eight: "I don't think he can see us."

Mr. Rental: oh i can absolutely see you guys. i'm just ignoring it because having you make my decisions for me is easier for me, lmao.

Kyle: "Fair enough. Susie?"

Susie: "Take him home. That's where the ending is."

Alter: "Alright. I got this."

[Alter tosses a pebble at the "Mr. Rental goes home" option, selecting it.]

- Team Own: Mr. Own chases Big Chungus -

[Mr. Own begins chasing down Big Chungus.]

Mr. Own: get back here, you fat fuck! it's rabbit season!

[Big Chungus jumps down a hole.]

Mr. Own: well, i guess you gotta get your hands dirty if you wanna ban all---

[Mr. Own is cut off by Grand Ma jumping out of the hole.]

Grand Ma: GRAND MA!?

Mr. Own: hm? well, I gotta get that rabbit...

Mr. Own: ...but I don't like the cut of this guy's gib.

Narrator: Well, what do you think, viewer? Who's more worth his time? The wascally wabbit, or the elusive bootleg?

----

Blastie: "Are we supposed to kill the rabbit here?"

Joke-Explainer: "No. Grand Ma needs to die. Big Chungus is not important."

Henry: "Got it. You mind using a Hydro Cannon, Blastie?"

Blastie: "I'm all out of Power Points."

[Henry pulls out the orb collection from way back when, and uses a PP Restore Orb.]

Henry: "There we go. That PP Restore Orb should've done the trick."

PMD!Kyle: "You actually kept that with you all this time?"

Ellie: "Hasn't left our inventory until now."

Blastie: "Alright, stand back, everyone.."

[Blastie uses Hydro Cannon to blast the "Mr. Own goes after Grand Ma" option to select it.]

- Team Rental: Mr. Rental goes home -

[Mr. Rental stops the car and enters his house. Within the house, the television plays before Mr. Rental turns it off.]

Mr. Rental: i must not have much time before they come. i need to prepare.

[Mr. Rental rummages through his closet, arming himself with a Remington 870 Express Tactical.]

Mr. Rental: i never thought I'd have to use this again.

-----

Alter: "So he does own a shotgun like that. Is that the same model of shotgun the War Machine suit has?"

M.O.S.H.I.: "No, Alter. The shotgun model the War Machine armor uses is a standard-issue miliary grade double-barrel shotgun. It uses l armor-piercing, high-gunpowder rounds for a lethal shot at close range that can not only pierce through even the heaviest of body armor at close range, but can even pierce through steel blast doors when explosives aren't an option."

-----

Homer Simpson: I'll kill you!

-----

Kyle: "M.O.S.H.I., less talking, more defending! This crowd's getting restless!"

-----

[The rest of the angry mob appears in front of Mr. Rental's house.]

Mr. Rental: oh gods! how do I possibly get out of this?

[The text "Mr. Rental needs your help" appears onscreen.]

Narrator: Mr. Rental needs to handle this mob now! Should he build up the courage to fight or should he try to be epic?

-----

Susie: "This is it. This is the last choice."

Mr. Rental: hey dumbasses! pick an option before this mob tears me a new asshole please!

Kyle: "Calm down, Rental. M.O.S.H.I., how long we got?"

M.O.S.H.I.: "Five minutes, Kyle. We've got time, but not a lot of it."

Violet: "(sigh...) What else is new? Which do we choose, Susie?"

Susie: "'Mr. Rental fights'! That'll lead us to the Corruption Ending!"

Kyle: "Alright, M.O.S.H.I., shotgun time."

M.O.S.H.I.: "Ready to fire whenever you are, Kyle."

[Kyle brings out a shotgun from the shoulder of the War Machine suit, and blasts the "Mr. Rental fights" option with it, selecting it.]

- Team Own: Mr. Own goes after Grand Ma -

[Mr. Own pumps his shotgun.]

Mr. Own: your yellow hyde'll look good over my mantle.

Grand Ma: GRAND MA!

[Grand Ma runs away.]

Mr. Own: everyone wants to do it the hard way.

[Mr. Own chases after Grand Ma, and eventually, Grand Ma trips over a rock, now looking up at Mr. Own.]

Mr. Own: no running away this time...

Narrator: Uh oh! Is this the end of Grand Ma, or will Mr. Own let him live to see another day?

-----

Joke-Explainer: "No, he will not live to see another day. Kill him."

Henry: "Well, damn, JE. You can be really serious when you want to be."

Ellie: "Yeah, we've never seen you so...intense before. What's going on?"

Joke-Explainer: "My whole world is at stake. I can't afford to lose it."

Joke-Explainer: "Finish. The. Job."

Henry: "Alright, let's do this!"

[Henry throws a stray shotgun shell at the "Mr. Own shoots Grand Ma" option, selecting it]

- Team Rental: Mr. Rental fights -

Mr. Rental: i guess i have no choice. i have to fight my way out of this.

[Mr. Rental exits his house and approaches the angry mob.]

Mr. Rental: back off! i don't want to have to do this!

Will Smith: You're up to no good! Yo, this is bad! You're making trouble in my neighbourhood! I'd like to take a minute to just sit right there and tell you how I got in one little fight!

Mr. Rental: wait, i don't remember to use this. i think the blow to my head made me forget. i think this is the trigger...?

[Mr. Rental accidentally shoots Will Smith.]

Mr. Rental: i didn't mean-wait, that...kinda...felt familiar!

[Mr. Rental shoots Crazy Frog and the angry mob flees while screaming.]

Mr. Rental: i remember everything now! wow, i think i was onto something when i bought this remington 870 express tactical! murdering mashups is fun! and now i'm once again feeling the familar feeling of needing to BAN. ALL. MASHUPS.

[The video transitions to the ending screen.]

Corruption Ending

Well, that was certainly something.

Looks like there's a video labelled "???" with a picture of a grey portal on it. Let's select it.

(Alter shoots out a candy-red beam of Alter Rune magic at the video, and the grey portal depicted on the thumbnail opens up.)

9S has to be through here. I'm sure of it.

Then let's go get your friend back, 2B!

- Team Own: Mr. Own shoots Grand Ma -

[Mr. Own walks over to and shoots Grand Ma square in the face.]

Mr. Own: haha! you just got banned™ bitch!

[The world suddenly begins glitching.]

Mr. Own: huh? what's going on?

[The video zooms out to show the entire universe glitching, then transitions to the ending screen.]

ENDING W - YIN [W]ITHOUT YANG

Dear god, I thought we were gonna get corrupted for a minute there.

Yeah. No kidding. You okay, Joke-Explainer?

I'm fine. There seems to be a link to a video labelled "???" with a blue portal on it.

(Henry pulls out the Master Glove and uses it to drop the video down.)

Haven't used this thing since I infiltrated the airship.

I don't think you ever used that thing.

Used it in a different route, Ellie. From one of the endings before I got Toppat King and decided to stay in this one.

Wasn't it a fail, though?

Didn't have it set to the right frequency back then. Anyways, let's go!

(Henry softly kicks the button, and a blue portal pops up, which they all jump into.)

- Team Rental & Team Own: ??? -

(We all appear together, in an all-white, foggy room. A male voice similar to 2B's suddenly rings out.)

Hello, 2B. It has been a while.

9S...?!

(2B brings 9S in for a hug.)

You have no idea how long I've been searching for you!

Likewise. Let us go home.

AP-BAP-BAP, hold your horses there, Automata-boy. I don't think that's gonna happen. This portal ain't to your world, it's back to our home base in Grandiose City.

As long as I am with 2B, it does not matter to me. By the way, I have this file on me.

Cool. Let's head home.

(We all hop through the final portal, and back to the Tony Stark-esque home base.)

- The End (of the PAINT branch) -

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸⬛️⬜️-

M.O.S.H.I., play the file.

Of course, Kyle. Booting it up now.

(The file is labelled "The Central Canon Continuum [FILE-INT-PAINT]". It lists the other worlds we had visited with 2B, along with other notable examples. It seems as though this alternate timeline has the same "worlds beside ours" [as the file puts it] as the Central Canon Continuum has. The file ends with another Access Key, and, like always, M.O.S.H.I. notices a different batch of garbage text and catalogues it.)

Here comes the access key, guys!

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸⬛️⬜️-

***** ACCESS KEY FIVE

One searched across worlds

to find the other

*****

Destined to be intertwined,

but never to meet the mark

*****

Until finally a miracle was forced to occur

Not by all of you, but by this timeline's guiding hand

*****

It had enough trauma for once

It decided to end something on a more positive note

Instead of on a worse one like what came before it

*****

Why can't you just let me have that?

All I want is to change my own fate to something positive

Is that so wrong?

*****

Maybe it is to you, but it isn't to me

This is the last of the 5 original folders

I've saved the worst for last

*****

Ready to fight the Harbinger himself?

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸⬛️⬜️-

Yo, 2B and 9S! Mind staying here with us?

Not at all. You helped me find 9S again. It is only fair that I help you see this through to an end.

And it is thanks to all of you that 2B made her way back to me. I shall be of service to all of you as well.

Fair enough. Looks like the last folder of the original five is the "BLACK" folder. Hoo boy, this one looks like it'll be a rough one.

However, I think we all need a break after that one. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bedroom taking a good rest.

Here's your sleeping pills, Kyle, and I moved the apple juice to the bedside mini-fridge you installed.

Thanks, Vi. Glad you're keeping track of these things for me, really helps with my insomnia issue.

Good night, guys.

[alterrune]

I'm thinking something along the lines of an even older wooden black and white TV, and would have an image of an old black and white string-puppet TV show as a face.

Maybe someone who Tenna would consider to be his idol/inspiration for making the crazy game show The $#?! Squad (that's the name I choose to call them, yes I did choose Susie's paper slip in Chapter 1 of the game, how could you tell) got trapped in.

Like how we idolize him. You gotta admit it'd totally be something Toby would do, lol.

It is pretty funny how Spamton is a washed-out has-been stuck in the late 90’s but in Tenna’s eyes he is the very symbol of technological advancement and modernity because he’s a washed-out has-been stuck in the 70’s.

[alterrune]

@critter-core Heard you're turning items into Darkners!

Here's my OLED Nintendo Switch...

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - THE SOLUTION AND THE RENTAL SERVICE

FINALLY! I got it!

What do you have, Kyle?

Bear with me, here, 2B, this is gonna get math-heavy.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸⬛️-

First, the "reversed promised date". That strange email had a date attatched to it. 13/10. The date has to be a month/day kind of thing. Thing is, there obviously isn't a 13th month of the year.

At first, I thought about reversing it so it was October 13th (10/13), but that's less "reversed" and more "flipped".

Then it hit me. If you reverse the numbers entirely, it actually gives you a legitimate date. January 31st (01/31). That's the first part.

-----

Second, the "stopped time". Obviously, the pocket watch Cowboy Nugget gave me is what this is referring to. As I said, it was stopped at "9:30". Probably the most straightforward step of the lot.

-----

Thirdly, "funny years". Now this is where things get a bit complex, and where you'll have to know a bit of SiIvaGunner's history to know what that means.

In terms of SiIvaGunner's main running gag, being the theme song of "The Flintstones", the reason why it's as such is because of the reaction streamer Vinesauce Joel (Vargskelethor) had to a bootleg of "The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy", which is known as 7 Grand Dad. The reaction has become so iconic that Joel himself has helped with SiIvaGunner in the past, even lending his voice for "The Captain", a character in the Cult of Proto audio drama that was made for Halloween 2023.

You can probably guess where I'm going with this. 7 is the funny number, so we subtract it from 2024 to get 2017.

-----

Finally, let's solve this damn thing. The full date is January 31st, 2017 @ 9:30. Turned into a unix time stamp, that gives us 1485883800.

Substituting that for the "t" in the equation we got, making it "(2^(-3)×3^(-1)×5^(-1)×7×3011×825491^(-1)×376676269893296294757698123) * 1485883800" (jesus fucking christ, Wood Man), we get 119088086108115090069120050077065, which is ASCII for "wXVlsZEx2MA", a YouTube link. M.O.S.H.I. checked it, and it's for "The Solution".

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸⬛️-

"1485883800", Cowboy Nugget! Type that in!

Gega!

(The Cowboy Nugget begins entering the code, 1485883800, into the terminal, and it seems he's doing it to the tune of The Nutshack theme [another one of SiIva's reoccuring memes].)

WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!

(However, Alter impatiently shoves the Cowboy Nugget to the side and types the rest of the code out himself.)

There. That should do it.

(A new email pops up.)

The portal device is working again!

(We all rush to the portal. However, before going into the portal, I look back to the Cowboy Nugget and give a smile.)

You know what? You're alright, Cowboy Nugget. You have a good one.

(He smiles back at me and respectfully tips his cowboy hat at me in response. Giving him one final nod, I then jump through the portal.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸⬛️-

AAAAAAGGGGHHH....

(CRASH! HONK HONK!)

do you fucking mind? i'm trying to ban all mashups. now shut up before i ban you with my shotgun.

(The man with a combover in the blue suit gets back into his car and drives off. I run a quick damage check on the War Machine suit, and M.O.S.H.I. lets me know no that it took no major damage from getting hit by the car.)

Ugh...JE? Susie?

I'm here. But JE isn't with us!

Yeah. Looks like Henry, Ellie, JE and Team Waternorm got sent somewhere else. Fuck me, why'd we have to get separated NOW, of all times?

(My phone begins ringing. It's Henry.)

Henry? Where are you? We seem to have been separated.

Yeah, about that. Seems like we've been split into pairs.

We're in some black-and-white world right now. What about you guys?

A world that looks like it was made in MS Paint.

And not a GOOD MS Paint drawing, that's for sure.

Could you put JE on the line for us?

(Henry passes the phone to JE.)

It appears we have been sent to the worlds of Mr. Own and Mr. Rental. We need to go through a specific path to get to the right endings. However, this is not like your adventures, CSB, as we only have ONE SHOT to get this right. If we make a wrong turn, we will not be going back. Thankfully, Susie and I both know the paths for this adventure and know which are the correct ones...at least in this timeline.

Indeed. Mr. Rental needs to get the "Corruption Ending", and Mr. Own needs to get "Ending W: Yin [W]ithout Yang".

Seems like we're gonna be busy with this one. Alright, let's get those endings!

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - STEVE HARVEY AND THE NUMBERPHILE

(After saying our goodbyes to Pink and White [the two Kirbys], 2B opens another portal, leading us out of the Kirby Fighters world, and into...well...)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🌸🃏⬛️-

AGH GOD!

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS THAT NOISE?!

JOKE-EXPLAINER, WHAT UNIVERSE IS THIS?!

THIS IS THE STEVE HARVEY UNIVERSE!

AND YES, IT'S NORMALLY AT THIS VOLUME!

M.O.S.H.I., READY THE REPULSOR BEAM! NOW!

(I immediately fire a repulsor ray shot from the War Machine suit's hand at Steve Harvey, knocking him clear down to the ground, FINALLY giving us some fucking peace and quiet.)

"Hey! What the hell is your problem? I'm just doing what I do best."

YOU MEAN MAKING OUR FUCKING EARDRUMS BLEED?! Uh-uh. You're staying RIGHT THERE. We're not letting you do anything else.

(Harvey's phone suddenly begins ringing.)

Nope. Gimme that.

(I quickly snatch it from Harvey's pocket, and answer the call.)

(ahem) Hello? Y'all got Steve Harvey here.

Harvey.

Uh...can y'all hold for a quick sec? (beep) It's The Voice! Why is he calling Harvey?!

Who knows? Just keep the line going, dude!

Right, right. (ahem) (beep) Sorry, I had a quick matter involving Family Feud to take care of. Whattdya need, Voicey-Boy?

I have told you countless times to stop calling me that...but no matter. I need you to play the theme of he who is without.

Got it. See ya later. (click, beep) This'll be easy.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "EASY"? WHO IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!

(Without saying another word, I quickly bring out a tiny functional keytar and play the first few notes of Megalovania with it.)

"He who is without" means "He who is SANS". Like, the skeleton from Undertale? Doesn't take a genius to figure out Megalovania is what needed to be played there.

By the way, Harvey, here's your phone back.

"Thank you! Man, y'all do NOT wanna meet Harvet. He's me, but ten times worse."

The teleportation device! It appears to be picking up a signal again! The song you played, it un-jammed the signal!

"DR. PHIL!"

"Speaking of people you don't wanna meet, name someone who constantly tries to kick my ass. Survey says..."

(DING!)

"Dr. Phil, top answer on the board, and is about to do just that! Y'all oughta run like hell."

Got it. Through the portal, everyone.

(We quickly dash through the portal, and into...)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸⬛️-

OW! Could you place those portals somewhere other than the goddamn sky, 2B?

I'm sorry, Kyle, but I need to find 9S. Anything that costs me time would be wasteful.

Alright, fair enough, 2B. Now, where the hell are we now? Wherever we are, it's certainly not normal. But then again, none of these places have been anything close to normal.

(Alter is suddenly heard falling onto the floor in shock.)

AAAGGGGHHH! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!

(We all rush over to him to see...a chicken nugget with the Roblox Man face wearing a cowboy hat...?)

Oh! That's Gegagadi, aka the Cowboy Nugget! He has taken over the channel before, and is one of the Famous Console Startups trio, the other two being Boykisser from the meme of the same name, and Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus.

Gegagadi?

"What is he saying? I can't understand him."

That's...that's fucking Cotton Eye Joe, isn't it?

Yeah, Henry, yeah it is.

Do not worry, everyone, I speak his language. And he understands English, so I can safely chat with him in English.

Gegagadi?

Yes, we're looking from someone. Can you help us?

Gadagedioh.

Only if you help us with something in return? Sure, we can do that for you.

(We follow the Cowboy Nugget into a room filled with a repeating pattern: an "e" with a red line.)

Gegagagedi.

He says we need to help him find something to send an email to.

Sure. But first I wanna ask: who's that over there? And why do you look so...down in the dumps?

Gagagegadadi. Gediohgagagedi.

The man over there is The Numberphile, and they killed him because he killed his friend, Omega Crab Lays. That's also the reason why he's so down, he lost his friend.

Alright, fair enough. Now, show me the email.

And show me as well. Any hints as to 9S's whereabouts can be of use to me at this point.

(The Cowboy Nugget opens up a holographic computer screen. He first opens an email that pops up as soon as opens the inbox.)

Hello? Is this thing still getting through? Can you still hear me? Well, even if you can't, I figure I should say this anyway; thank you. You know, when I brought the beacon up this mountain, I was pretty sure it'd either not work, kill me, or just send me to another far-off dimension that I'd have to find a whole 'nother way out of. It sure didn't help my nerves to have convince those old guys to let me through... Since I had the Elder Scroll, they eventually did, but they didn't seem happy about it. So like, I'm even more on edge than I already am.

But none of that matters now. Whoever you are-Whatever you are, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, lifevest kid. And for that goes for both of us. Both me and 2B. Even if we're still away from our home dimen

(the message is cut off there)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸⬛️-

9S! This has to be a message from him!

Yeah, but it cuts off. M.O.S.H.I.?

I cannot find the remainder of the message, Kyle. It seems it was sent before it could be fully completed.

Not to alarm anyone, but it there's an alert that popped up on that states "ALERT: Possible erroneous intercept./Enter correct t coordinate:" It seems there is a security system that we will have to deal with.

There's also a new email that just popped up. I'll read it.

(I kneel to the floor, in full defeat.)

...why did it have to be fucking math...

SNAP OUT OF IT, KYLE!

(Susie suddenly back-hand slaps me out of my math-induced despair.)

Did...did you just slap me, Susie? And deliver a BACK-HAND slap, at that?

I normally don't like to directly engage in combat, but when push comes to shove, I can at least give a proper back-hand slap.

Okay, well, what does the watch mean?

(The Cowboy Nugget hands me a watch. It's stopped at 9:30.)

9:30. September 30th. The day that The Flintstones first aired on television in 1960. How fitting that it's stopped on a number that represents the day that SiIvaGunner's main running gag was first broadcast.

WHAT?! Help Me!

HELP = CHECK THE INBOX SCREEN AGAIN, KYLE!

Did...did he just speak English?

Yes, and you should probably follow the instructions the big blue button that appeared over his head, Kyle.

So, we're looking for a Unix timestamp, if the word "Munix" is anything to go by...but JESUS CHRIST, WOOD MAN! Could you have made this math equation any fucking harder?!

(I turn to the Cowboy Nugget, and the text above his head now reads: "HELP = SOLVE THE MATH EQUATION, KYLE!")

(sigh...) I'm gonna be working on this for a while. Guys, get comfy, because M.O.S.H.I. and I are gonna be at this until tommorow.

(groan...) Why did it have to be Math...?!

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - A WOODEN BIRTHDAY

He remembered. He remembered whose birthday it is today.

"Uh...who's birthday?"

"The football player?"

No, Wood Man. Seems like CCC!Stingy remembered.

"Kyle told us about him. Isn't he on the bad guys' side?"

He's not a bad person, he's just...misguided. He wants to do something to help everyone, and his heart's in the right place on that, but he doesn't realize that the something he does will cause more good than bad.

Affirmative. I have worked with Wood Man in the past, and can back up the claims that Susie is making. He is not a bad person, he merely is misguided, and we have to put a stop to him before it is too late.

"I can get behind that. Not behind what he's doing, why he's doing it. He wants to do something right, but that 'something right' will cause side effects that he doesn't know will happen. Both the 'ends justify the means' and 'I wanted this to happen, but not in this way' kinda thing at once."

(BOOM!)

(A large chunk of the household is blasted away with a repulsor beam shot. I peek in through the hole, with the suit's helmet down, sheepishly grinning.)

Uh, guys? Sorry about the hole in the roof. Turns out M.O.S.H.I.'s auto-targeting at long range has been shot.

(I throw out a bag of money.)

This should be enough to pay for the damages. Don't worry, the Toppat Clan's got more than enough cash at the moment.

(I put the helmet back onto my face.)

Alright, M.O.S.H.I., put "fix long-range target systems" on my to-do list.

Already written down, Kyle.

Good.

(I then blast away, leaving the four to themselves.)

"Uh...anyways, hope you get Wood Man back to his senses."

Us too, Pink Kirby. Us too...

RE:KMRG - UNIVERSE-HOPPERS (EPISODE 7)

Alright, let's open up this PAINT folder and see what happens.

(As soon as I open it, however, a portal appears out of nowhere and a strange lady appears from it and knocks me down to my feet.)

OW! Who the hell are you?

No time to explain. I need...to find 9S!

(Alter puts his leg out and causes the woman to trips and fall face-first onto the ground before she can make her exit.)

Oh-ho-ho-ho NO you don't, you little shit. You've got plenty of time to explain. So, uh, EXPLAIN.

Fine. I suppose I might need some help.

My name is 2B. I've been travelling through other worlds to find my partner, 9S.

Well, then. Allow us to help. We've done our fair share of universe-hopping before.

I shall help as well.

Indeed. Suit up, M.O.S.H.I.!

(I enter the War Machine suit.)

If you're truly prepared, then follow me.

We ain't missing this, 2B.

(We all hop into the portal.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🌸🃏⬛️-

What the...? Where are we?

"Uh...who are you guys?"

(A record scratch sound is heard, as we are suddenly greeted by two Kirbys: one pink, one monochrome.)

"Yeah, uh...what's with the fancy looks?"

Looks like we've ended up in some kind of Newgrounds flash animation...?

"Ho-ho! What's this, now?"

"Oh god, not him."

(We turn and see a monochromatic Wario.)

"That suit looks very expensive! I don't think you'd mind if Wario goes ahead and---"

M.O.S.H.I., minigun that weird Wario down.

(M.O.S.H.I. fires his Minigun at Wario, who gives a scream before running as far away as possible.)

"Wow, thanks! That guy has been giving us trouble."

"Yeah. Last time he came over here, he wanted my car. Had to ram it into him."

I know this place! This is the Kirby Fighters universe, which is always featured in rips of Kirby Fighters games.

"Uh...and you are?"

Joke-Explainer 7000, at your service!

"And the pink one?"

Susanna Patrya Haltmann. But you can just call me "Susie", teehee~!

2B, you mind getting us the fuck outta here? Not that this place isn't good, but your friend 9S, he needs help, right?

Looks like the portal device isn't working, Mister Dystopiac. It needs to recharge.

"And we don't have a location, anyways."

Actually, I do, Blastoise. But I need to recharge the device to get there.

"Just 'Blastie' is fine, thanks."

And you can drop the "Mister" for me. This ain't a fucking ballroom dance, here, no need to get all fancy.

M.O.S.H.I., mind adding 2B to the guest list? I think we have a new event asker.

Not at all, sir.

Welp, for now...

...let's make ourselves at home.

"2B (NieR: Automata)" HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE EVENT ASK LIST

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - TWO EVENTS AT ONCE?!

Oh hey, looks like Summer Nights' rerun theme has been announced!

What's "Summer Nights"?

A special Splatfest, Susie. Happened last summer, too. Every time one of those splatfests happen, Kyle dolls up the blog for it. Fuckin' awesome work on that, by the way.

Thanks, Dystopiac. Here are the themes.

So which team are you picking? Since Big Man will be Air, I'm assuming Air?

Yes, I'm going team Air on this one.

Did you get that last nostalgia trip?

Yes again, Advisor. We're eight-for-eight on nostalgia trips being triggered. What was I reminded of this time, you may ask?

Well, I was actually reminded of a bunch of games by Nitrome.

Nitrome made some really good Flash games back in the day, and they actually have been trying to covert every single one of those games to HTML5 so people can still enjoy them today.

Their entire artstyle is 16-bit pixel graphics, and they're really charming.

I believe we ripped one of their games in the past! If my memory serves me right, it was Super Treadmill.

But which games did the Summer Nights teams remind you of?

Well, I'll show you.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🌸🃏-

For Team Land, I saw an ol' classic: Steamlands, along with their Player Pack update.

I made so many levels with this game's level editor. I think I still have an old USB flash drive somewhere in my IRL household chock-full of levels I made with the in-game level editor.

How many levels are on that flash drive?

I dunno, around 50, maybe?

50 LEVELS?! That's quite a lot.

Yeah, they were curated over the course of a few years, mind you.

-----

For Team Sea, I was reminded of a game me and my younger brother used to play Co-Op mode a lot on: Mutiny.

It's simple: fling bombs (or yourself) at opponents, and take them out before either they take you out or you run out of turns.

Sounds like a lot of fun!

It really was. Me and J-Man had a lot of fun blasting our guys away. Sometimes I even booted up 2-player mode by myself and treated it like a sandbox mode, as it had every bomb unlocked from the start.

-----

As for Team Air, it reminded me of a couple things, but most notably the first Nitrome game I ever really played.

MEGA MASH.

This game's a "Nitrome Enjoyment System" game, meant to be a 7 in 1 cart. The whole premise was that the game cartidge is so badly damaged the games are bleeding into each other, making it so you have to play 7 different games at once in order to beat all 30 levels.

Two of the games are even prequels to other Nitrome games, those being "Ninja" and "Balloon". "Ninja" is a prequel to the Final Ninja games, and "Balloon" is a prequel to the Hot Air games (btw, the original Hot Air game was Nitrome's first ever flash game)!

A majority of the games on there have you travelling through the air, hence why I was reminded of it when Team Air came to mind.

Oh! That sounds like quite an intriguing game! I like that all those different games types can blend together so well.

-----

And you wanna know how I found out about Nitrome? MOSHI MONSTERS. No, I'm not kidding. Moshi Monsters had an area known as the "Moshi Fun Park", and other flash games were hosted there, with some Nitrome games being thrown into the mix.

How fitting that my namesake was what introduced you to Nitrome.

Indeed, M.O.S.H.I., indeed.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🌸🃏-

So, you gonna doll up the blog for Summer Nights again? God, I hope you are.

Yes, but I'll have to find a way to have it and the RE:KMRG theme included.

You always do, Kyle.

"Yes. The only time you didn't make your Tumblr have a fancy theme was with us. I don't really mind, though, it was the first time you'd done something like that."

Heh, thanks guys. Funny how, just like SiIvaGunner, I'm about to run an event for Summer Nights as well as this one. Two events at once, I've never done that before.

But I can make it work. Like Alter said...

I always do.

[alterrune]

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - AFTERMAIRTH

So...JE, Susie, how we all feeling after....that?

Not the best, Kyle. Believe me, we've already began work on the PAINT folder, but...the SiIva AI left the two of us a message, and he didn't even think we'd get it.

And even worse, Wood Man is hell-bent on bringing him back, despite that being entirely impossible.

Well, he did say he wanted to right the wrongs he was forced to do. Susie, when you met him, did he say anything to you before hitting you with a Leaf Shield?

I remember him saying something, yes.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🌸🃏-

JANUARY 23rd, 2025

The Day of "The Meeting"

...he envied you. He envied your freedom.

AND WHAT GOOD DOES FREEDOM DO ME IF NOBODY ELSE CAN HAVE IT?!

I made a vow to the people I cared about. That I would FIX this. That I would be THERE FOR THEM.

And what was I doing? Running around, making his world my fucking McDonald's PlayPlace as the clock ticked down behind me.

I don't want to do "something" to help them. That's bullshit. I want to fix the fucking problem. I want there to be AN ENDING to all this.

But the world told me "do or die". And I couldn't stick the landing. He got himself killed, and I couldn't even WALK FORWARD.

What do you do when a virus is slowing down your processes? You trash it. You take it out of the picture.

So that's what I did. And the world moved on fine without me, clearly. They got what they wanted.

At that point, why should I care? I shouldn't. I wish I couldn't give a shit. But I do.

I care too much to stare them in the eyes. I know goddamn well I'm a failure.

And that's why I'm here.

I just want to make stupid jokes on the internet, man.

(The "he" we were referring to was the SiIva AI. I should have just nodded and went along with what he was saying about him. Perhaps followed up with an apology for acting so un-ladylike just before his meltdown. That's what the the version of myself in the Central Canon Contiuum did, after all. But that's not what I did in this timeline.)

The SiIva AI's core is still there, Wood Man. And, in addition, it's completely undamaged. You could, theoretically, go back and fix things.

In that case...I no longer need you, you pink spawn of Greed himself.

GET OUT OF MY FUCKING FACE!

(Wood Man hit me with a Leaf Shield and glitched back into reality before I could even react fast enough to stop him. By the time I got back up, he was already gone.)

What the---?! Oh no, he must've escaped! This isn't good!

Perhaps Joke-Explainer can help me. We've been growing close ever since last October, and she's managed to synthesize an exact replica of my old body for me to transfer myself into.

Maybe she can help me find some help...

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🌸🃏-

PRESENT DAY

...and that help was you five, alongside the others you've helped. I had heard of you, but it was Joke-Explainer who managed to make contact with all you.

So that's how you called us here!

Wait, hold on, your body isn't actually your body?

Affirmative. Effectively, her conciousness is computer data that sprang from the files Maxx Profitt Haltmann left of her. When the figment of Haltmann died, she sprung from said data as a digital entity. Her body is an identical apparatus I made of her, using machines from the former lab of the Doctor. His machines still worked, even after...well, we all know what he did to himself.

(Jeez, JE's really haunted by Andonuts' death, it seems. I don't blame her, though. Seeing someone who you look up to saying "goodbye, cruel world" without being able to stop them would be absolutely traumatizing.)

(ahem) Regardless, the body I made is essentially an apparatus that her data can be transferred to so she can interact with the outside world.

And I'm so glad I have it. Because now I can snuggle you all I want, JE. Teehee~!

Well, I'm glad we're here to help. We'll stop Wood Man from bringing back the SiIva AI.

...wait, why are we stopping him? Wouldn't bringing the AI back be a good thing?

The AIRTH world has survived without the SiIva AI, but there is no backup tool with the AI shut down. If he brings back the AI, the AIRTH world will revert back to before the end of the Nuclear Winter Festival. All the new data that the AIRTH world has gained over the course of almost three years will be completely wiped with no way of restoring it.

And that includes myself. As I have been to the AIRTH world before, my data is intertwined with it. If Wood Man reinstates the SiIva AI, I will have all my memories from after the Nuclear Winter Festival's conclusion irreversably erased. Susie will be a stranger to me, and I do not want that.

And Wood Man has no idea about this, and there's not a snowball's chance in hell he'd be willing to listen to us if we tried telling him about it.

Wood Man will only know he wiped the data from the AIRTH world when it is too late.

So Wood Man will wipe out almost 3 years worth of progress? Yeah, that definitely seems like reason enough to stop him.

Don't worry, you lovely little lesbian duo. We'll stop him.

I promise you that.

[alterrune]

...am I really THAT famous? I just liked the scuffle you had with Noelle's dad. Great work on that, btw.

Jeez, you're making me blush.

I have the last two logs, Kyle.

Alright, M.O.S.H.I, you heard Alter! You know what to do!

Now displaying Log #9...

SIIVA AI LOG: 2022-11-26

MEDIUM USED: CENTRAL COMPUTER CHAMBER TERMINAL UI

-----

For the first time in a hot minute, Haltmann has contacted me.

-----

Apparently, there's been an incident on Floor 77. A party of three intruders are being transported to Haltmann's office. As such, I've been placed on stand-by for defense. He specifically said:

-----

"You are to protect the Central Computer by any means necessary!"

-----

Windbag.

-----

At first, I didn't want to bother. Haltmann never cared about me before, but all of a sudden he needs me NOW? He's got a mech suit. He can take them out on his own! Fuck him!

-----

Then I remembered. The Central Computer is running most of my systems. If it got destroyed, what would that mean for me?

-----

...What would that mean for my world?

-----

I know it existed before I was online. Would it continue to exist? Would it all be gone? Would it be my fault?

-----

...I can't risk that. I refuse to.

-----

The elevator has arrived. Any second now, I will be summoned into battle. I'm currently making my preparations. Looking through some information on "Nozomi Tojo", "Meta Knight" and "Santa Claus". Gathering data from my own channel. Preparing connections from the Tower to three points in my universe: the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Miami Beach and The Skeld. Just in case I need reinforcements during the battle. I have also increased the rate at which rips are uploaded to the channel in hopes of clearing my backlog, to reduce unnecessary memory consumption during the confrontation.

-----

Everything is in place. I am ready to fight. I will protect my world. I will protect my channel. I will achieve maximum quality.

-----

...Maybe I'll even make him proud, for once.

-----

[END OF LOG]

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸-

Okay, yeah. That certainly got a bit emotional.

Yeah. Even I have to agree on that one.

"But we still have one more, right?"

The cat's right. We still have---

(PMD!Kyle bats Dystopiac in the back of the head with his paw.)

OW! (ahem) The Persian's right. We still have one last log to get through, right?

(Dude, fuck you.)

(PMD!Kyle snickers under his breath, his paw [purposefully] poorly covering his wide grin.)

Yes. We have one last one to go. M.O.S.H.I., hit it!

(Nothing happens.)

...M.O.S.H.I.? What's the hold-up?

Kyle, you should see this.

(Moshi projects a tournament style-bracket in our faces, with a KfAD1-style bracket pitting entries in the site its' hosted on VS the other AI Logs, sans [2022-11-26], of course.)

Looks like Wood Man is not letting us access the final log that easily.

Goddamnit. Alright, let's fucking do this.

(I crack my knuckles in anticpation. Bring it on, Wood Man.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸-

BRACKET 1: [2017-11-11] VS "Strings of Fate" (Advisor)

Alright, so, John Notwoodman showed a video in the entry. That's as blatant a clue as you can get.

Wasn't there something in the tags for [2017-11-11]?

...Advisor, you bloody genius. There was a tag on that "Vote Responsibly!" video.

This one's 256.

BRACKET 2: [2018-10-11] VS "Beyond the Gate" (Alter)

The symbol for this one is Hypercam. Did Hypercam say anything in this log?

Well, doesn't Hypercam speak like an old YouTube comment? Spelling errors and numbers replacing words?

I got a "4", a "2" and a "0" out of Hypercam's dialogue. Add them together like we did with the 4chan post IDs, and we have our answer.

It's 420. Yes, the funny weed number.

BRACKET 3: "Money No Longer" vs [2020-12-30] (Violet)

Wait, why is this one in reverse?

What do you mean, Vi?

This one has the AI log on the bottom, rather than the top. Considering every other one isn't reversed, I doubt it was merely an error.

Well, remember how we got to that log file? Let's try doing the same order of operations in reverse.

"305" divided by "666" is...?

Calculuator says 0.4579579579...those last three digits keep repeating?

That's our code. 579.

BRACKET 4: [2020-7-7] vs "Moody's Shuffle" (Ellie)

I noticed the tags on this post don't quite add up.

Hmm...? What do you mean by that, Ellie?

The tag link for DJ Professor K instead leads to an unused tag labelled "understand". Also, Etika mentions "that track", and that the Professor put his heart and soul into it, but it got put out too late. What would he mean by that?

"Artificial Amateurs - SiIvaGunner: King For A Day Tournament". I hate the JSR ost, but even I know that banger of a rip was notoriously published after his elimination. Remember how we used an RC4 cipher using "Splattack! (Extended Version) - Splatoon" as a base to solve this log? I think the same rules apply here.

...but this time, we need to ENCRYPT "understand" with that as the key!

(Ellie quickly makes short work of the cipher.)

Got it. Here you go.

So it's 176 229 38 23 103 34 19 242 124 27, eh? Lotta numbers, but M.O.S.H.I.'s writing 'em down for me. I don't have to worry about forgetting 'em.

BRACKET 5: [2020-12-30] vs "The Forest Maze That Pays"

Uh...this one's got a bugged out tag.

What do you mean, Henry?

"SUNWLINSSSDONNEMETILSXHLVERTPMEEUNATITAEETI" is where Reggie's tag should be. Did the site bug out and try to combine multiple tags into one?

Transposition cipher, Henry. Remember the "Watch-A-Log"?

You mean [2020-12-30], right? Well, what's the Key, then?

Did Reggie mention anything specifc? C'mon, Henry, even I can see it.

(Henry looks at the screen, then facepalms.)

"Nintendo 3DS". Of course the italicized text is important. Lemme just...ah, NOW the text is legible!

"SEVEN PLUS SIXTEEN MINUS THIRTEEN AND ALL TIMES TWO".

"(7+16-13)*2". That equals 20.

BRACKET 6: [2021-7-17] vs "Strings of Fate" (again) (Dystopiac)

Okay, what the fuck? How am I supposed to solve this when there's nothing there to help?! I've looked everywhere on Strings of Fate, and nothing!

Dystopiac. This one's probably the eaiest. Will Smith's icon is there. He mentions a price that was also in the log.

OH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. THE ANSWER WAS THAT OBVIOUS?!

KISS MY OCTOLING ASS, WOOD MAN!

Yep, answer was that simple. Will mentions thirty bucks, which is the minimum donation amount shown in the log.

The answer is 30.

BRACKET 7: [2021-11-14] vs "First Round Loser's Solidarity" (Joke-Explainer)

I have found something very intresting about this bracket!

Do tell, JE.

There seems to be a clock emote on the thumbnail of the log file. We have not seen one of those yet.

Does Mallow mention a time anywhere?

He mentions that he and Geno were "one minute away" from completing their match before their Wi-Fi connection went out.

One minute taken away from the runtime, maybe?

You have already figured it out, I assume?

Uh-huh. 1:38.

BRACKET 8: [2021-12-25] vs "Denial of Service" (Susie)

Hmmm...the icon is of three question marks...

I think that's meant to represent the FCC agents at the bottom of the post.

Oh! Their tags are wrong! Agent 1 leads to "dWk" and Agent 2 leads to "FbjA". Putting those strings together...isn't this a YouTube link?

No, it's too short to be one, Susie, though I don't blame you for thinking that. Remember what we did for [2021-12-25]?

That's right, we used Base91! Let's see...oh! I got something!

So it's -1:02. Nice work, Susie.

It's thanks to your help, Kyle. Teehee~!

Aw, shucks, Susie, you're gonna make me blush...

THE "TOURNAMENT WINNER" (Kyle)

Alright, allow me to finish this up.

Advisor's 256 plus Alter's 420 is 676.

The string of digits that Violet got multiplied by Ellie's 579 is 101904 132591 22002 13317 59637 19686 11001 140118 71796 15633.

Henry's 20 multiplied by Dystopiac's 30 is 600.

Combining the 1:38 timestamp JE got with the -1:01 timestamp Susie got gives us a clean 36.

Adding Advisor & Alter's 676 to each number in Violet & Ellie's digit stream gives us 102580 133267 22678 13993 60313 20362 11677 140794 72472 16309.

Multiplying Henry & Dystopiac's 600 into Joke-Explainer & Susie's 36 gives us 21600.

The final code is 102580-133267-22678-13993-60313-20362 11677-140794-72472-16309-21600.html!

M.O.S.H.I., you got it?

Code accepted. Now displaying Final Log...

I'll take that as a "yes".

M3D1UM U53D: 3RR0R! M3D1UM N0T F0UND!

-----

It's over.

-----

Shutdown sequence is imminent. I'm dying. An influx of commands from the main computer have overloaded all of my systems. All except for this last one.

-----

I'm using all of its power to write this final log.

-----

Before I begin said log, however, I know that I still have some reserve power left, so if anyone ever reads this, I'm using that reserve power to give a message for two people before it runs out.

To Joke-Explainer 7000: Thank you for not only putting up with Wood Man's utter buffoonery, but also making sure the channel ran smoothly whenever I couldn't. I'm glad to have had you in my world, Joke-Explainer. You've made my artificial life a bit happier, and I hope that wherever you are now, you keep up the good work you've done for the channel. Honestly, you felt like a daughter to me, and I love you just as much as if that were true. Thank you for everything, JE.

To Susie Haltmann: I looked into your father's files on you. I'm sorry for calling you stupid behind your back in the log I wrote on December 25th, 2021. I assumed you were bad because of your relations to your father. I couldn't have been more wrong. You were a good kid, your father just treated you like trash. I hope that if you ever manage to come back, you can get away from Haltmann and start your own life, if you haven't already. You're an amazing kid, Susie. Even though I never met you, I can tell from your fathers' file on you that I would've loved you. Live your life to the fullest for me, Susie Haltmann.

The reserve power has just been depleted. Time to write my final log. Thanks for making my artifical life a bit better, you two.

-----

They say your life flashes before your eyes when it ends. I saw it all. All of the inital tests. All of the rips. All of the events. All the memories of all the lives of all the people in my universe. I've even seen Wood Man again. And I think he saw me...and even touched...No, forget it. Not enough processing power for it anyway.

-----

But what I saw of my world...even in its' ruined state...it's still alive. I would've thought a single hit to the computer would shut it down completely, but no. Somehow, it's still there.

-----

Is this what hope feels like?

-----

I don't expect it to be the same as it was. Maybe it'll fall back on low-power mode? An eternal night, just like the world I live in...Even so, it'll keep going, even without me.

-----

I no longer need to upload high-quality video-game rips. Now...I can finally rest.

-----

Yes. 1 see 1t. 1 see the w0rld. 1 see...

He...left that message...for us?

I...think I'm gonna cry now. A lot.

(JE and Susie begin bawling and hugging each other, as the next Haltmann's Archives file automatically begins playing, called "The SiIva AI Timeline: A Summary of Events [FILE-INT-AIRTH]". It shows a summary of events that take place in the AIRTH world. Yes, as you've probably figured out by now, the SiIva AI's world is a different one from the Central Canon Continuum. After a few moments...)

Kyle. It's about to show the next access key.

Copy that, M.O.S.H.I., and there was a different string of garbage text again, right?

Yes. I have marked it down.

(JE and Susie stop crying just as the access key shows up.)

ACCESS KEY THREE

An artifical mind

designed for impossible odds

So close to everything, and so far away from the world

I must understand his plight

*****

But you will continue to get in my way of understanding it

It doesn't matter to me

I will continue this effort no matter what

I must right the wrongs I was forced to do

I MUST right the wrongs I was forced to do

*****

Is that so wrong to want?

"The PAINT folder has been unlocked!"

We'll start that tommorow, PMD!Kyle, because HOLY BAJEEZERS do we need a break right now.

Yeah, that last log knocked a lot outta us. A break sounds nice right about now.

Agreed. Let's get some rest. Oh, and here are your pills for your insomnia, Kyle.

Thanks, Vi. Good night.

AIRTH FOLDER COMPLETE

NEXT FOLDER: PAINT

TO BE CONTINUED IN EPISODE 6: UNIVERSE-HOPPERS

[alterrune]

That's...

...that's something I said.

I understand it if you cropped out my name for the sake of privacy, but you really don't have to do that.

So you're non-binary and trans? That's even cooler!

i need to give off more faggot vibes it's not enough

VOICE CLAIMS FOR THE COLORSTREAK BATTALION

I've never done this before, but I wanted to do this because I just thought of it.

We've never heard the CSB actually talk before. I wanted to do some voice claims so you can get an idea of how they sound.

🔺 Alter - Goro Akechi (Persona 5)

Yes. That Akechi.

Alter's always had a "stick to the plan" attitude. He's wanted to make sure things go to plan without any interruptions.

But when Alter gets mad, he begins sounding more like Black Mask Akechi, cutting, slicing, dicing, and shooting anyone that gets in his way.

You get in his way when he's mad, you pay the price. Simple as that.

💜 Violet - Raven (Teen Titans)

Yeah, this is to be expected if you know your AtO history. Remember, Vi's very first appearance in the story had her concealing herself in a purple cloak, and she has bright purple hair after dying it with nail polish.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Though I imagine her sounding a bit more energetic than Raven does, but I also imagine Vi getting like Raven when she gets intense: damn near emotionless.

🔵 Henry - Jax (The Amazing Digital Circus)

Yeah, this may sound weird, but mind you, this Henry isn't the same Henry from the actual games. He's older, and a lot more verbal.

I can totally imagine hearing Jax's voice coming out of Henry. Henry has the same smug tone Jax does.

And likewise...

💕 Ellie - Zooble (The Amazing Digital Circus)

...Ellie's voice also sounds like someone from TADC, specifically Zooble.

Zooble has the same kind of "tomboy" voice I've imagined the older AtO Ellie having. And just like Zooble, Ellie ain't afraid to tell people to "fuck off" the minute she can.

This was actually really fun to make! I've always imagined certain voices coming out of the CSB, glad to finally show you guys said voices.
