Discord Chat Room Analysis

Yo Seán I'm gonna do an analysis of yesterday's "Discord mayhap" (or, "Discord discord", if you will) if that's alright?

(The following screenshots are not mine, they're just like the only screenshots I've seen going around, and if anyone knows the owner feel free to tell me please and thanks!!)

Firstly, I just wanna say that this is the very first time we've seen all the Egos in one place, interacting. This is HUGE. You'll notice the lack of introductions, questions of "who are you?", which means they all know each other/know of each other. At the very least, they all have interacted before without our knowledge. Hooray for context clues!

Onto the next thing. Jack. As a new server owner with many many users and a lot of potential for things to go wrong, I can only imagine how confused he would be (especially as a person with a glitch being on his tail). And I'm certain he wouldn't interact directly with any of the Egos unless he knew it was completely safe. As you can see, it was not, in fact, safe. That's most likely why instead of talking to the Egos, he was trying to get the mods to shut down the text channel as soon as possible. They weren't supposed to be there, and that is not supposed to happen.

Next, the Egos. Wherever they were transported to, it was someplace where they could not see one another nor could they see their surroundings (hence Chase's panicked "I can't see!"). Even though Chase was the only one who pointed out that he had no visibility, it doesn't mean that the others did. They probably couldn't see, either.

Now, my current theory is the end of Observation is in connection with this: there was some sort of tear in the fabric of reality. Whoever was recording that video, we saw transported before our eyes. It took a few hours, but eventually they ended up in a digital space, the discord server. We know this was Anti's doing, because the title of the chat room said "watching", encoded in a Caesar cipher (Anti is using codes now, we have to watch for that. There are MANY ciphers, believe me) and zalgo-ified, which was the biggest giveaway. I wouldn't be surprised if last year's Stories Untold first episode ending was foreshadowing for being trapped in a digital space (remember Jack/possibly Chase being stuck in the computer after someone opened the door to his recording room?) The question is: are they stuck there now? Or have they since been brought back upon the deletion of the chat room? We have yet to find out, but as of now, this is just a theory (a gA-- nah lemme stop there).

Next, we have Marvin. His first words are "This doesnt seem right". This leads me to believe that, as a magic-user, he's probably encountered some really weird shit and had some strange experiences, but in this situation something feels off for him. Also, as people have pointed out, Marvin is the only Ego with a recent profile picture, one that is not from his appearance video. I am assuming this is because either A) Marvin's first video wasn't truly Marvin, because it was US that made him an Ego, B) the video in which his profile picture is from was actually Marvin recording, hence why he pulled out his mask, or C) both A and B.

Jackie is the one who figures it out.

He probably saw the zalgoed code in the title, decoded it, and upon finding what it said went "Shit this is REALLY bad, I have to warn the others but I can't let Anti catch on that I figured it out". So when Jackie says "Ah fuck, people are watching this. Everybody shut up!", he's not talking about US, he's talking about Anti. Remember, Anti was brought into existence by saying his name. Saying his name in any form is extremely dangerous, and in a digital space where a glitch would have the upper hand, a direct warning against Anti would be way too risky, so he generalizes it hoping the others would get the message. Sadly, amidst the panic and confusion, they didn't.

Then, there's Chase and Schneep. Evidently, these two are close; Schneep gravitated towards Chase almost immediately for some sort of guidance or reassurance: "I dont know what happened here, Chase?". Their friendship must run deep. This was hinted at before: Henrik saved Chase and is his "good friend". Both of which are close with Jack. Seeing them interact like this pretty much confirms it.

Now this is where I laughed. See, Chase's response was immediately, "What do you want from me?" which is Chase's infamous line from Dark Silence. Marvin's immediate response is "Alright, thats enough" as if he knew that Chase was going to say something of that effect and went "Oh god not this shit again". Of course, this got Schneep started, because towards the end both of them began repeating lines from Dark Silence, Stories Untold, and Kill Jacksepticeye, respectively. Even though they were panicking and clearly trying to get in contact with Jack here, you have to admit they're both dorks. They could have said anything else and yet said that. I found that hilarious.

And little Jameson. Bless him, he silent even in digital form. This leads me to believe, however, that he may be mute in canon. If the Egos are not typing and are rather speaking in a digital space and their words appear as text in the server because of the coding, then it would make sense for Jameson's only "words" to be an ellipse.

This entire situation told me quite a bit about the Egos' interactions with each other. With Marvin and Jackie, as the two oldest Egos, they seem to be the "heads of the household", so to speak. They're like the two older brothers babysitting all the younger ones. They both hold a sense of authority (which was a surprise on Marvin's end for me, admittedly). Whether the others will actually listen is a whole nother story. Chase and Schneep are close and they gravitate towards one another. Jameson, being the newest, understandably looks like he feels out of place (communication barrier, perhaps?).

One thing is certain, though, is that Anti is their common enemy. He brought them all there against their will (kind of as if he gathered up all their strings and pulled). And Jack, according to Chase, is still comatose. So maybe Jack's consciousness is trapped in a digital space, which is why they were able to talk to him (even if Jack didn't respond), and why Marvin and Jameson were able to send him messages through videos (like in Try To Fall Asleep)?

In any case, I feel like the next episodes of Observation will give us more answers as to where the story is heading, just as Stories Untold did. Whatever happens in Observation will most likely hugely relate to this plot, so that's important to keep in mind.

punkamena-moon submitted:

Here are the things I have written down for now

(It's me , snom-imagines mod )

Katalix > normal type

Ability : Unlucky

Raises the probability of the pokemon getting a status condition

Littrik> electric/steel type ( evolve from Katalix if its paralyzed when leveling up)

New Pokemon type idea ?? Maybe

Digital

Weak against

- water

( Because uh yeah have you ever tried throwing your computer into a bathtub ? Not really a good idea)

- fire ( computers and phones etc can overheat)

- bug ( get it ?? Because bugs ? As in digital bugs ? Like glitches ?)

Strong against :

Ghost ( basically because digital means phones which means more informations which means ghosts become less scary because we know they're not real )

Fairy ( same with ghost, more informations means fairies become suddenly just tales )

Immune to Plant ( have you ever tried charging your phone using a tree ? Didn't really work, uh ? So yeah Plant type pokemon can't even touch Digital )

Normal damage against everything else

Also new status condition idea : Hacked

When hit by a digital type move, a Pokemon can get this status

When it does, it won't have control of its moves (= if the opposing pokemon has this status condition, when it's the enemy pokemon turn you get to decide what move it uses )

until it's either healed from the status effect

or faint. A Pokemon can not recover from this status condition on its own

I don't have the resources or anything to make a fangame but

I can and will make a fanfic

And basically in this region

The MC doesn't get their first pokemon legally,, they straight up steal it

So let's just say their pokemon doesn't like them at first

But luckily for them they have a device that allows them to speak to pokemon, made by their friend not long before that

so they quickly explain they had to get a Pokemon somehow because everything is getting dangerous and they need someone to protect them and they tell the Pokemon that they hope it can understand them

the whole reason everything is becoming a danger in the first place is that people started saying breeding pokemon excessively was pokemon abuse and then there were the people saying that pokemon were just pokemon and that pokemon didn't have feelings

So breeding pokemon kinda became more restricted and now people have to have a license to breed pokemon and they can't make their pokemon lay more than 5 eggs every month

so people are getting mad because they feel like their freedom is being taken away, and at the same time other people are saying they shouldn't have done what they did in the first place

so the Liberty to Breed Acadamy ( or LBA ) says that breeding pokemon is harmless and they're just trying to get good pokemon anyways

To which the PRA ( Pokemon Rights Activists) reply that : " it hurt the Pokemon to breed them again and again because it makes the Pokemon feel like they have no other purpose

Because yes, while breeding is essential to the survival of a specie, Pokemon are born to fight

Some people would disagree, but then why do wild pokemon also fight together ? Because they know they need to grow

Fighting is essential to the majority of Pokemon

And when a trainer makes their pokemon battle, within limits and care , they're helping it grow, they're helping it change , and they bond with it as well

But breeding doesn't do any of that

A Pokemon doesn't get anything from laying eggs

It doesn't get stronger

It doesn't get better in any way

It doesn't bond with anyone "

They also add that most of the times the breeders don't even let their pokemon see the newly hatched pokemon and that can hurt a Pokemon a lot emotionally because you're basically forcing it to breed then you don't even let it see its babies

So MC is confused and scared because they don't know what to do and they just want everything to go back to normal

They're just here with their pokemon wondering how to fix this mess

A lot of the pokemon MC will get are pokemon that ran away from their old trainers

There's also a lot of abandoned pokemon in the wild, most who grew with humans and never lived in the wild in their lives

Also the main character's dad is an outlaw because he breed pokemon even tho he doesn't have a license

And MC is against that

So they're like

Not on the same side

So MC had to ran away from home

At only 14 years old

Okay the region pokemon professor is called Prof Hickory

He's 23 so still really young

He has dyed hair that faded from blue at the top the pink at the bottom

He always wear sunglasses when he's not alone so people rarely get to see his eyes

Almost nobody knows that his eyes are brown and they shine like gold in the light when he's not wearing sunglasses

Aside from his white coat he wears pretty simple clothes : just a pinkish red t-shirt and black pants. But

He studies how Pokemon made humanity into what it is today, like he studies big event histories that Pokemon had important roles in, how society shaped itself around the big thing that is pokemon training and just living with pokemon in general

The region name is Mirsos

> extremely modern and full of technology

> Also why Digital type Pokemon only exist in Mirsos in the first place

> like most of the regions Mirsos has Pokemon Gyms and a Elite 4 but all of that went to ashes after the " pokemon breeding incident"

> There 0 pokemon from other regions in Mirsos

> Even the Region Champion, Florian, doesn't know what to do about this whole situation

Florian :

29, blonde hair tied in a ponytail , black eyes, wear a white bandana, use mostly ice type pokemon, always wearing a big black sweater with the face of his favorite Pokemon, wears ripped white jeans and black and white sneakers, has gold earrings shaped like clouds

YO I LOVE THIS??

gives me a bit of a Pokemon Reborn vibe with the more serious/darker tone

LIFE IS STRANGE 2 EPISODE 3

okay, so throughout the recent life is strange games i have made posts such as this one; I would make a bullet-point list of my ideas and thoughts of the game, certain little lines or details and shit. i did this for the farewell episode, i think before the storm (at least one of the episodes), and captain spirit. i tried to do this for life is strange 2, but Tumblr fucking killed itself when i tried, like i even restarted the fucking episode to redo it. so i don't think ive done these for life is strange 2, but honestly they're a lot of fun to rant out my opinions of the game and the little details and shit so, without further ado, here's this -spoiler full- little list.

also, little sidenote: i had no clue this was supposed to come out, i heard jack shit about it so like, the day after it was released i saw an article, googled it, and fucking died and felt so stupid. so anyways. let's begin.

ok low-key, i hate kids and if i Sean I'd be so annoyed? because like he came into Sean's room when he's been told not to, and like snuck in there, and then lied about Sean hitting him (bc I didn't hit him) and then as soon as Sean goes to apologize he's like "get out" like u little hypocritical shit hhhh. love Daniel but it's fuckin annoying

"and don't touch my stuff" (comes into Sean's room and touches shit)

LITERALLY FUCKING TOOK HIS WATCH BUT "don't touch my stuff"

Sean is a dick to Daniel sometimes but like he still acted like a good brother in the end and i would've been pissed so like good on Sean lmao

Sharpwing — Yesterday at 11:53 PM there are things that make me specifically uneasy, but this is pan-game uneasiness everything is somehow Quite Wrong ....was that an audio glitch, or a sound effect, because his voice briefly turned into a banjo thenightetc2 — Yesterday at 11:57 PM Well then. highglossfinish — Yesterday at 11:58 PM That certainly was that. Sharpwing — Yesterday at 11:58 PM it was. also, side question ive been meaning to ask, you mentioned people requesting movies. how do i do that? i have An Suggestion for sometimes, if you want. highglossfinish — Yesterday at 11:59 PM Oh, just fire away. Sharpwing — Today at 12:00 AM The old Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the one with Gene Wilder. I may or may not be requesting because it's one of my favorite movies and they took it off of Netflix and I'm too skittish to pirate it myself. Also because it is ripe with opportunities to poke fun at a million different things. thenightetc2 — Today at 12:00 AM Oooo, yes! That sounds like a fun time. :slight_smile: highglossfinish — Today at 12:01 AM We watched it ages ago, just after he died, but I'm not at all averse to streaming it again! Any opportunity for piracy! Sharpwing — Today at 12:02 AM Arrrrr. thenightetc2 — Today at 12:02 AM yo ho ho! Mimic — Today at 12:03 AM while we're suggesting things, has anyone else ever browsed stupid horror movies on IMDB highglossfinish — Today at 12:03 AM I'm constantly on the lookout for horror movies, stupid movies, and stupid horror movies, so any suggestions are welcome. thenightetc2 — Today at 12:03 AM How about... Zombieland? highglossfinish — Today at 12:03 AM Ooh, absolutely! Mimic — Today at 12:04 AM I love Zombieland. plus, there's the sequel now thenightetc2 — Today at 12:04 AM A sequel! Mimic — Today at 12:04 AM Zombieland: Double Tap https://www.imdb.com/list/ls023868653/ okay, I just want to share this with the server IMDb Horror Movies with Ridiculous Concepts - IMDb Horror Movies with Ridiculous Concepts

Squip X Reader - Romantic Effects

Word Count: 802

Request: Anonymous: Can you write some Throwback!Squip? Pretty please?💕

Warnings: Pure and utter fluff, some shocking at the beginning though

Notes: I wasn’t even planning to write but then I got a bunch of sweet messages so i’m not yo blame /)///(\ also throwback Squip is my weakness, bless you all <3

Y/N - Your Name

“What does this one do?”

“That one makes me glitch out, I'd avoid that unless you'd like to end up less productive then usual.”

You'd only had your squip for a couple months, but...Your squip recently, and accidentally you could assume, slipped up on revealing that while the normal mountain dew activates him, the others have effects as well. Of course you knew Red deactivated but you assumed that it ended there. Of course after that discovery you had bought bottles of every flavor you could find to test out.

“How about that one?” You asked pointing to the Code Red, wondering if it had similar effects that the original Red had.

“It does not.” He corrected me mentally “It will in simple terms make me very angry and that will, once again make you less productive.”

“Do any of these do good things? Like...idk make you more...chill.” You grinned shooting finger guns at his unimpressed expression as he groaned. “Depends on your definition of chill...”

You chuckled a bit and pointed to another “What does whiteout do-” he shocked you, and shook his head “You will not touch that Y/N”

“Okay, ow for one.” You groaned “Two, what does it do?”

“It will be the reason I will shock you to an early grave at the rate you going.”

You laughed again, shaking it off as your eyes landed on throwback “How about this? Is this one good?” You asked, annoyed that everything you had picked out seemed to have negative effects on your Squip.

He paused, rolling his eyes “Do we have to keep doing this? Didn't you have work to do?” He smirked, sending a shock down your spine, causing you to jump up a bit.

He was pushing your buttons, but quickly realized his error as you looked him dead in the eyes and chugged the throwback.

“Y-Y/N don't be so hasty-” He groaned, trying to shock you and get you to stop, before you knew it had reached the bottom of the bottle “Hey you didn't have to be hasty and shock me, but here we are.”

You assumed whatever throwback did was setting it as he seemed to calm down some, quietly moving to sit next to you. “uh...You okay Squip?” You asked a little surprised at his much calmer expression. You were more shocked however at the fact that he had given the most genuine smile you could ever imagine coming from a computer, which is to say something you have never imagined “Of course Y/N, I'm with you.”

You felt your heart skip a beat, a tad surprised at the praise. “I'm sorry I chugged it, I was just frustrated an-”

“I shouldn't have shocked you, you were only curious, I apologize for the harm.”

“W-What does throwback do? You...You're acting really different...” You mumbled as he scooted closer to you, leaning his head somewhat on yours. “Unlike my normal mode, Throwback sets me to a more kind, caring and romantic mood set I suppose.” chuckling somewhat.

You felt your face heat up a tad, moving your head slightly to stare up at him, his eyes were gentle compared to his usual cold judgmental gaze, if it were a cartoon you could swear you'd see hearts in his eyes.

You couldn't find words to respond with, so you just kinda leaned into his touch. of course, you knew it was only simulated through your nerves, but it felt very real, he felt very warm... You found that his whole vibe was extremely comforting. “You're so cute Y/N, I really shouldn't be so hard on you all the time.”

You paused as he causally wrapped one of his arms around your waist gently “I mean...I got you for a reason..And I can be stubborn sometimes I know.” You chuckled as he leaned back, pulling you with him, making you let out a small yelp. “Of course, that is my function after all, but you are far more compliant then many would be.”

You found yourself mumbling a bit as you found yourself awkwardly cuddling him, he was very comfy for someone who wasn't actually there. “I promise we'll get there, I will always help you to see your best self.” He smiled, kissing the top of your head, before stroking you hair gently with his hand.

“ahhhh, quit your not supposed to be sweet, you'll kill me later.” You mumbled as he laughed again. “I won't, I could have easily stopped you if I really wanted too, I like being close to you like this.”

You tried to come up with a retort, but found you really didn't want to argue at this point, deciding to just enjoy the moment and taking a note to buy more throwback.

“Quick question though...what does the whiteout do?”

Practical Exam

I have no idea how I managed to confuse an AI… “Nim, did I do something wrong?”

“…” Her face is glitching slightly…

“Nim?”

“...jolt”

It is still extremely easy to dodge. “STOP TRYING TO ELECTROCUTE ME!”

“...it’s wrong…”

“Nim, seriously what’s wrong?”

“...follow me”

Nim floated away… great… “Hey, wait up.”

...

Oh, it looks like we ended up in a training room with a few dummies and such.”

“Ok Veronica, watch. Jolt.” As expected the dummy she was aiming at was struck.

“So, what was so special about that?”

“How long did it take for it to strike?”

“Oh around a second or so, why?”

“Jolt is a basic level electricity spell, but it has the positive of being almost instant. I’m currently casting it equal to a rank 2 or so, only rank 6 and up would be able to doge it effortlessly like you do. So, why is it saying that you should be a rank 1?”

“Well, the screen I saw said there was an error or something under ‘build’. Could that be it?”

“No, ‘build’ is just a way we categorize what members are best at. They are all self-explanatory, Fighter, Supporter, Explorer, Creator, and Researcher. Not fitting in one should not really cause an error that affects rank… I don’t want to but we may have to do a practical exam…” Nim is starting to look concerned.

“Is that a bad thing?”

“I’m worried that you could be injured or such… you haven’t made us any money yet.”

“Oh… great…”

“Yep!” She seems happier but still slightly off. “So standard regulations state that in order for a practical exam to be valid, two guild leaders must be present. In most situations, it would be the guild leader of the testee’s guild and me but you don’t have a guild… so I’ll just put out a request for a guild leader. In the meantime, we can begin to record what you can do.”

A few objects materialize into the room, it looks like there’s a few dummies, an orb, and a strange box. “Ok Nim, what do you want me to do.”

“Do you have weapons on you?”

“Oh… no. I lost them before arriving here.”

“So a pistol and a knife… Ok, I’ll send a request to administration staff. For now, let’s test out your magic. Is your wind magic mainly offense, support, or utility?”

“Oh it’s a mix of both offense and utility I guess.”

“Ok, attack that dummy with a base level wind spell.”

“Got it!” Ok, light and airy, concentrate… “wisp” A small shot of wind magic impacted the dummy.

“Good! You were even able to cast it without a focus! Now what is the strongest attack you can do with wind magic?”

Ok, I’ve got this… still light and airy, but fierce and unrelenting… focus on the mana… there’s the heat from the brand… and “Gale!”... That’s a hit!

Nim looks impressed. “Great! So why exactly do you use brands?”

“Oh, I just think it’s almost comforting, the flow of mana feels nice…”

“You’re channeling a large amount of mana directly into your arm… If you misfire there can be extremely bad consequences.”

“Really?!” That’s strange… “Whenever I misfire the spell just kinda pops.”

“Oh, is that so?” Nim’s face is displaying some character that kinda looks like a thinking face.

...I hear footsteps… It’s a person carrying a case, oh he’s waving at Nim.

“Nimue, here are the items you requested.”

Nim is somehow holding the case. “Thank you, Fredrick. That is all I need. Thanks!”

He seems to be pretty busy because he just took off…

Nim is still holding the case… “Hey Nim, how exactly are you holding the case, you’re just a hologram right?”

“Oh, that’s just a little trick I can do.” ...another colon three face

Now that I think about it I feel a slight amount of mana… It feels heavy and constant… “You’re using gravity magic aren’t you?”

“Whaaaaaat, noooooo…” Nim is making a face with a greater than symbol, a dash, and a less than symbol. “What makes you say that?”

“I can feel you using it.”

“Wait really?!” Huh, that really surprised her! “Anyway, here.”

Oh it’s the case, let’s see… It's a pistol and knife of decent quality.

“Ok Veronica, let’s get back on track. Show me what you can do with wind utility spells.”

“Ok” ...focus… and… “jump!” Like typical, I fired off two streams of air, shot up into the air, and landed comfortably.

“Interesting… Can you do that non verbally?”

“Oh, I just said ‘jump’ out of force of habit.”

“Hah, nerd. So any other things you can do?”

“...I wish i could punch you right now, but eh yes.” … I dash towards the dummy using wind as a boost.

“Ok cool! Now how about-”

I hear some distant clopping. “Hey Nim, gotcha call. I had some free time, and I thought maybe this new girl might be cute.”

Oh, I guess it’s a centaur, that’s coo-...Huh, she’s not a centaur… that’s a llama’s lower half… also a llama neck...nothing here is normal is it…

Nim seems relieved somewhat. “Good to see you. Veronica, this is Celeste, the guild leader of the Rainbow Sanctuary”

Celeste seems nice enough… “Hi Veronica, nice to meet you! Can I interest you in joining the Sanctuary?”

That seems to have angered Nim and she whispered to Celeste. They are in a conversation but I can’t make out what they are saying… Oh, wait Celeste just said, “but she’s cute.” ...fantastic.

...

Oh it looks like they are done arguing, good.

“Before you interrupted us, Celeste, I was documenting Veronica’s abilities. It is probably a good idea that we understand what she can do before we drop her into a practical exam.”

“Very well… What do you have so far?”

The screen that has my info was pulled up again, this time however it also displayed the wind spells I can do.

Celeste seems curious about the info. “So let’s get to testing!” I feel mana building up for some reason. “I’ll ask the questions and Nim will record what happens.”

“Celeste what ar-”

“So Veronica, let’s see that space magic!”

...are they fighting over me? “Ummm I can only do utility spells for space…”

“Then show those!”

“Ok” steady...ready the pistol ...focus on the target… feel the warmth of the mana...and fire! Even though I was aiming at the ground, the bullet hit the dummy from behind.

Nim seems pretty impressed “Impressiv-”

“Don’t worry about talking, Nim just focus on recording the results.” Did I somehow cause this hostility… “Any other fun things you can do with space magic?”

“There are a few more things I can do.” ok… focus on the knife… conduct the mana into it… “Phase Edge!” Good… now think of where I’m going to land… and use the mana to jump forward! Ok, I’m in the air behind the dummy, so now I just… the knife flies through the dummy and imbeds itself in the ground in front of it.

“Good job, a weapon infusion and blink, are you getting this Nim?”

“...suffer…”

“Thanks Nim! Now for your skills, it said you have curse resistance, so can you go touch the orb?”

“Is the orb going to curse me?”

“Maybe, being honest I don’t know. Nim summoned it, not me.”

“Fine.” I pat the orb and nothing…

“Nim, what does the orb do?”

“Oh it’s supposed to put an enfeebling curse on the person who touches it, but there’s no effect on Veronica… I guess it’s curse immunity not resistance.”

“Interesting…” Their hostility seems to be decreasing. “I guess trap resistance is also trap immunity. Ok, Veronica open the box.”

“Fine…” I very lightly tap the box and it breaks. A pink gas emerges from it and nothing else happens.

“Nim?”

“Sleeping gas, so it’s also blanket trap immunity… now, what does mana nose mean?”

“Hmmm, Veronica?”

“Yea?” I feel mana coalescing into an orb. Celeste snaps and the orb shoots toward me but I manage to dodge it.

“Oh, impressive!”

Nim looks concerned “What did you do Celeste?”

“I casted stealth shot and Veronica managed to know and dodge it... Say, did you ever feel me charging up mana?”

“Yep, after you read the stat info thing on me.”

“...You’re right…” Celeste is completely shocked.

“Wait, that explains a lot! Mana nose must give you a sort of sixth sense that allows you to sense the flow of mana.” Nim’s face is doing the colon three thing again… “I’m so happy I’m the one who found you in the park!”

“Ok, that’s pretty unique Veronica. Anyway, I believe that that is all the preliminary stuff shall we move on to the exam?”

“First off we will test your combat capabilities, Celeste and I will watch you defeat a Rank 3 simulated monster.” Nim pulls open a screen and marks some things on it. The training room turns into a cavern-like arena. “Your opponent is a… Possessed armor! Begin.”

A set of armor is materializing around a shadowy sphere… ok, let’s do this. “Phase Edge!” If I dash in I should be able to stab at the core… “hya!”...the knife is not long enough… that’s bad it’s starting to get mad… I need to Blink… good I got out before a punch landed…

I need to think of a plan. I can’t pierce its armor with any of my own attacks, so is there anything I can use… rocks, rocks, more rocks… great nothing… wait! If I take a big rock… ok focus… The rock blinks from the floor to the air directly above the armor, falls, and destroys the helmet. Good! Now, just need to… “Jump!” and throw… The knife pierces the core and the armor collapses. The arena turns back into the training room.

“Good job Veronica. Celeste will heal you and we’ll move on to the next test.”

…

“And good, you completed the twenty-third test… How do we still not have complete results?” Nim seems tired, to be fair though I’m also incredibly tired, it’s been at least 4 hours.

“Maybe we aren’t testing her correctly?”

“Celeste… we’ve tested her every way we can. Do you have any form of a suggestion.”

Celeste is oddly suspect right now… “Actually, yes. Yes, I do.” I feel a strong flow of magic gathering around Nim.

“Celeste! What are yo-” Nim is silenced… and seems to be trapped.

“I’m speeding up the process!” The training room becomes a labyrinthine maze. “Your next test, Veronica, is to save Nim. Begin!”

...why… everyone in this place is insane… if I focus enough I might be able to track the prison spell… ok I got a trace… I run through a bunch of turns.

Ok, I’m at the center, I see Nim trying to say something to me… I feel an interesting type of mana.

Celeste’s voice echoes throughout the maze. “I forgot to say you also have to defeat a basilisk.”

...why is this not surprising… The basilisk’s eyes glare but I guess petrification is considered a curse so I only feel a slight burning.

“Gale!” The spell hits the monster’s body… Its tail whips around… I was too slow… I brush myself off. The basilisk is drawing in mana. This is bad… A single hit from the basilisk’s magic will easily end me. Instinctively I start a chant and my brands heat up, “Oh space bend to my will, Grant me protection from ills. My reality becomes clearer, come forth Karmic Mirror!”

The basilisk opens its mouth and fires a shot of acid but it strikes the air in front of me and dissipates. Space shatters and a massive beam of energy impacts the basilisk, burning its scales. “Suffer” Mana swirls around me. “TYPHOON!” ...the basilisk is shredded in the resulting blast.

The room returns to its regular state and Nim is freed from the spell. “...how…”

Celeste starts clapping. “Impressive...”

“Thank-” I fall toward the ground and the world goes black.
