They definitely are a fun bunch.

Here's an equally-as-fun fact: "Dystopiac" is actually my in-game Splatoon 3 name, hence why it's his name here.

(Congrats to @blossomaaoc and @carriercroc for figuring out the puzzle!)

Of course! An All-Out Attack! If we overpower Sweet Tooth, we can knock the candy out of them without killing them!

Maybe becuase you've had a history of pulling that kinda shit?

Yeah. Why don't you ask Mr. Okumura about that?

Oh wait. You can't. And why is that?

Because you encited him to have a mental shutdown.

Well, this all sounds Luvli! We'll save your last two friends. Will you all be leaving after that, though...?

Hey, who knows, Luvli? I may just see you again sometime.

And we'll be there with him.

Maybe we can explore Monstro City without the risk of getting candy-hypnotized.

I make no promises, though.

Oh trust me, dahling, I didn't expect you to promise me anything. I'll still be patiently waiting for all of you Luvli dahlings to come back eventually, though.

I'll keep that in mind.

MISSION 5, THE FINAL MISSION, WILL RELEASE FOR ALL PLAYERS TOMMOROW (AUGUST 20TH, 2025)!

[alterrune]

Glad you loved them, Sailor. My agents are a bit loony, but despite everything, they're all absolutely suppportive of each other.

I definitely had to shuffle the names around for some of them, though. Thankfully I ended up with the results I wanted in the end.

I've updated the link in the pinned post to the new Moshi Monsters kickstarter page.

Also, this next puzzle functions the same as the Library of Babel one. Decode it, then send it to the blog as an ask.

Have fun, guys.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention: I'll publish any answers I get tommorow (August 19th, 2025).

A SWEETENED INTERMISSION - 3/3

(Akechi is tied up after what he did to Sweet Tooth.)

(Susie suddenly runs into the room.)

Everyone! Joke-Explainer and M.O.S.H.I. have sent us a message! It's encrypted, but it seems to be important.

-----

Hello everyone. The following message is from Joke-Explainer. However, in order for Sweet Tooth to not catch wind of it, I had to encrypt it using a cipher that was used in the RE:SPH ARG. As to what the cipher is, remember that note in the MAXPH branch? Someone wanted to kill gold bugs. Just obliterate them. Keep that in mind.

(Akechi looks at the message in suprise.)

Yeah, yeah, Akechi. I'm calling them in now.

That's just Luvli, dahling, as I have no idea what I am looking at right now.

As Akechi said, it's a Goldbug cipher. It's from a short story made by Edgar Allen Poe.

Lemme guess. In your world, that would be "Edgar Allen Paw"?

Why, that's absolutely correct, Dystopiac! How did you know that, dahling?

Call it a hunch, Luvli, since your world is so full of monster puns.

A SWEET INTERMISSION COMPLETE!

CONTACTING ATO ALL-STAR ASKERS @blossomaaoc, @carriercroc, @bonedgem, @cru5h-cascades, @johnlocsin-johnyakuza, @goldenhydreigon47, @violetthunderstorm & @flowerbarrel ! THE TIME FOR AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION IS NOW!

[alterrune]

GAH!

(Blood begins rolling down my cheek, as I wipe it off with my fist.)

Well. There you go. You got your hit in, Charlie Morningstar, and what a hit it was.

You wanted payback? Well, congratulations. You got it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go before the two of us do any more damage to this room.

Oh, but one last thing.

(I bring out a taser gun and shoot it.)

I said I'd bring a taser gun, you know.

I have no idea if that hit you or not, that blow to my head kinda made my vision a bit...blurry. If it did, though, I hope getting electrically shocked shows you that I mean business.

See ya, Lucifer. And be glad I decided not to go any further than I already have.

(I whip out the Teleporter and teleport away.)

In an empty room stands a green demon. She's standing as tall as she can, arms on each side of her body, fists tightened as much as she can possibly do so. For some reason, she's prepared to fight.

[alterrune]

There was something about Noelle that seemed... off. But Rudy couldn't put his finger on it. Alternate universes didn’t cross his mind, that stuff’s too far-fetched to be reality.

Hopefully her mother wasn’t giving her a hard time...

( @ask-reindeer-dad )

[alterrune]

Oh, here's the best one! Had to split it into two parts, lol.

I'd like to think Dystopiac was just slurping down a Crab-N-Go drink during all that, watching the chaos unfold live before him.

No. This is.

Check this shit out. I call it the FIREBALL.

(Purple flames emit from my hand as I attempt to punch Vandi's face even HARDER)

Keep trying, Millie! Hit me as hard as you can, it's getting boring trying to hit someone that doesn't hit back.

And yes. I'm gonna keep up the nicknames. You don't deserve to be referred to by your actual name.

@sailorsplatoon

Here are my own incorrect quotes with my own NSS, the Alternarune agents: Dystopiac (Neo Agent 3), Eight (Agent 8), Trinity (Advisor 3 [Cuttlefish is still the captain]), and Quadrinity (Agent 4):

I love the ones I found.

(ooc: I'm going to pretend Meg told Eight that off-screen)

Oh! That's really cool, Meg! I should really get Quadrinity to show me some of those Sunken Scrolls sometime. There weren't any of those in the Deepsea Metro.

Dystopiac and O.R.C.A. are also close chums, so I bet if he explained things to her, she'd be more than happy to show her Alterna Log Files to me.

Very fascinating stuff, Meg! Thanks for satiating my curiosity a bit.

Hey, Meg. Now that the whole thing with Aqua and Greyson is dealt with, I have a question for you that's been bugging me for a bit. What does "Madai" mean? You say that word a lot, and the octolings here definitely don't use it. I'm genuinely curious as to what that word means, since you use it a lot.

(answering this OOC)

⭐ooc⭐: Splatoon canonically has religion! As introduced in one of the sunken scrolls in Splatoon 2! It wouldn't make sense if these funny cephalopods said "Jesus" since there's canonically ✨squid religion✨, so instead of "Jesus" I have my cephalopods say "Madai" since it's theorized that the squid thing from the Alterna logs is Madai and that's how squid religion started. But then again Madai could just be a prophet.

In short, I know way too much about Splatoon lore (>▽<)"

Reblog this post for your character(s) to get an ask from Rudy Holiday!

[alterrune]

The moment I heard this conversation in Mementos while I was playing Persona 5 Royal, I knew it had to be done.

I thought about changing "ramen" to something else, but I decided against it.

Gangle: Oh, do you know the magic ramen chant? Veggie-garlic-extra-extra...

Jax: Alright, who's been tellin' Gangle this dumb crap?!

Ragatha: That's a... chant? Gangle... tell me who told you that.

Pomni: Blegh. Just thinking about it is making me full.

ATO: SWEET TOOTH STOMP - MISSION 4: WILD, WILD CARDS

(Our next target is The $!$! Squad.)

Akechi, you got this?

That's a "yes" then. Got it.

(Akechi hops over to the area where our friends are being captive...)

NYAAAGGGH!

(...but instead of going for our friends, he hops up to Sweet Tooth's candy throne and whips his laser gun out!)

WHO THE HECK ARE YO---

(Sweet Tooth is cut off as Akechi shoves his gun into their mouth.)

HAH! As if I'd do that for a Super Moshi like you. Feel the wrath of my hypno-lolly laser!

(Sweet Tooth blasts Akechi with their lollipop, and it makes a giant hole in his mask. He doubles back in pain, but soon gets back up.)

(Akechi manages to shoot a hole clean through Sweet Tooth's lollipop-holding arm, and then another one through the eye on that same side. Instead of blood, however, pure evil treacle [the same stuff Sweet Tooth drools] begins pouring out of their wounds.)

GAH! Someone get me a tourniquet! And a spare monster eye to pop into my socket!

REN?! FUTABA?!

What on earth are you two doing here?!

More of you luvli dahlings?

(Ren doesn't answer any of our questions, and instead pulls out a Goho-M and uses it. With a puff of smoke, The $!$! Squad, as well as the rest of us, are teleported back to the Rhapsody II.)

-----

MISSION...COMPLETE, I GUESS?

REN AMAMIYA (JOKER) AND FUTABA SAKURA ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR ASKS, AND THE $!$! SQUAD HAS GONE BACK ONLINE!

MISSION 5 WILL BE RELEASED FOR ALL PLAYERS AFTER THE NEXT "A SWEET INTERMISSION" POST!

[alterrune]

Sure. DING DING!

(THWACK!)

Oh, I'm sorry. Did the boxing gloves that I brought specifically for this occasion add too much power to that right hook?

This is what happens when you piss me off, you know. I don't care if "Tubby" has one less pal, if it means I never have to see your mug again, Verosika Mayday, so be it.

Ready for Round 2?
