You are President Katyleen Kitten, Witch of Time, The Bumbler, and you are dreaming. This is unusual for two reasons. The first is that you have been unable to dream of anything since you settled Theta Emit's debts with VoidCo, which you believe was retaliation against you by VoidCo. The second is that you're not in a Dreambubble like a normal God Tier dream.. but that you instead seem to be reliving one of the hundreds of thousands of memory timelines that were crammed into your brain by the Red Rift. You attempt to maintain your grasp on the Alpha Timeline and the present. It's 2020. I am at home on Desertia in Gene. The session has been over for 6 years. I have a girlfriend named Mei.
...
You repeat your mantra to try and fight it off, but slowly the details of the Alpha Timeline slip away... You try to wake up, but it's no use.
So, I have to face my Denizen, huh? To get the missing code? Can't be too hard, I think I'll just take The Choice..You are Katyleen Kitten, a Time player, you know that much. The date is May 23rd, 2013, 2013/05/23. You have been told by the First Guardian of your session to confront your denizen to retrieve a piece of code vital to completing SBARGv2. Although you don't know it yet, your timeline has already been doomed. If it was due to your Bumbling or not isn't relevant however, all that's relevant is that this timeline is already done for. But Paradox Space has decided it needs you, and so your timeline hasn't been culled yet. Your Denizen, Clio, is aware of this fact though. You access the SBARGv2 server program, which is already connected to your SBARGv2 client. You begin building up your Spire, supported by your .... Sprite? What did you prototype, again? ...It doesn't really matter. You continue building upwards to the Fourth Gate. |

Soon, you successfully build your way to the Gate. You dash through your Spire, and enter it... You're unceremoniously dropped into Clio's lair! A force field is behind you, it was meant to prevent you from accessing your Denizen until you had progressed far enough... but now it's blocking your escape instead. You press on-wards. After solving a simple sliding puzzle of Clio, you enter her chamber. She appears to you as a huge red scribe, holding an incredibly long scroll. This makes sense to you, as you've done your research and know that she's the Muse of History. "What are you doing in my chambers? You are not supposed to be here yet, your list of deeds is much too small to get an audience with me." Her voice is so loud and accusatory as to be deafening. You attempt to stand your ground. "I ma Katyleen bitten, Tine mlayer! I have bee7 setn b5 eht First Guarscan tuo eetrievr theh coade yiu're safwgyarding aznd I demanv ot head Teh Chdhce!" ((I am Katyleen Kitten, Time Player! I have been sent by the First Guardian to retrieve the code you're safeguarding and I demand to hear The Choice!))"You are aware your order was to fight me, yes?"".,.Wait, I aws suppoasehd tj fight youi" ((...Wait, I was supposed to fight you?))"No matter. You have chosen to hear The Choice, and it is too late to change your mind."A force-field appears, preventing you from getting any closer to Clio. It seems that you're in for The Choice regardless of your orders now. "The Choice I have for you at this moment is simple. You can either return to your Spire without the Code you seek and promise not to return until you have properly progressed in your journey... or you can stay here and become my Apprentice, and I will give you the Code when I feel you are ready.""I refuse to leave withou4 teh Cod!e" ((I refuse to leave without the Code!))"Then The Choice is made."There is an intense finality in the way Clio says that. You don't even have time to consider the mistake you've just made before your Apprenticeship begins. The old lime green MS Bike Ride t-shirt and shorts you were wearing are replaced by the outfit of a Greek priestess, and can't be changed. Although you still believe you're a cisgender man at this point, wearing the priestess outfit feels right to you, so you don't complain. Clio hands you a smaller version of her own scroll, emblazoned with the symbol of the Time Aspect. It awakens to the energy of your Aspect, and you get the feeling you could travel through time with it! ...But only when Clio allows it. Your training is long and grueling, as she makes sure you've perfected every one of the abilities being a Time player gives you... and that you become a master at documenting history and maintaining time loops. |

"Your Training is complete, Witch of Time. Here is the Code you sought, although I don't feel it will be of much use to you now.
If(Var1=True)
If(Var2=True)
If(Var4=True)
If(Var69=420)" "Speaking of which, what Time is it?" "It is 2013/10/12. Your speech has vastly improved by the way, I'm proud of you.""Thank you Lady Clio.""Now, use the Time Anchor ability to return to your Spire.""Yes, My Lady."You return to your Spire, using a Cruxite Dowel you extruded as an Anchor object. You check the SBARGv2 tumblr page... what? The First Guardian was a fake?? ...And the Codes weren't actually for anything???? ...You have no words. But now that you're outside of Clio's lair, your training lets you detect that the Timeline is doomed! You use your amulet to talk to her. "The Timeline is doomed.. Should I return to the Alpha Timeline Lady Clio?""Yes, my dear. You have an important job ahead of you. Travel back to the creation of my Scroll, that will clear you from the Doomed Timeline. There you will find the true Task you have been prepared for.""Of course Lady Clio. You have been an excellent Teacher, thank you.""And you have been an excellent Apprentice, Lady Kitten. The pleasure is all mine."After saying goodbye to your Denizen teacher, you focus on her Scroll, using it as an Anchor Object. You Time Travel to the beginning of the Land of Copper and Lasers. Your priestess outfit blows in the wind, as you appear in front of the Alpha Timeline's Clio. "Ah, Ms. Kitten, correct? Your appearance in this timeline is months away, so for you to appear now wearing the outfit of an Apprentice.. You must have been sent by your timeline's Clio, correct?""Correct, Lady Clio. I have been sent here in search of a Task from you.""I have a very dire Task indeed. My Scroll indicates a Player by the handle of squealingVermin and the name of Hank is very important to the structure of the Timeline, being responsible for many Great Deeds that directly altered the course of the Session towards Victory... However, that Player does not exist, and not in the way that Void Players appear to not exist. He simply never existed at all, but appears in the memories of many, and his many actions left quite an impact on the course of Time. His Land exists, but his Spire will enter empty. Some drastic attack on the Alpha Timeline has taken place to try and prevent Your Victory, and you must be the counter act to it. Go to the Denizen's lair on the Land of Snow and Melody, you will find the gear you need there.

"How will I get to the Land of Snow and Melody from here, Lady Clio?"She pulls a ball of snow out of the air. "Use this as an anchor."
As you focus on traveling to it before she summoned it, the Land around you shifts. The lair you find yourself in is devoid of life, but you expected this too. Lady Clio mentioned that Denziens of non-Time Players don't appear until the Spire does. You find a small selection of Artifacts next to the perfectly shaped Snowball Anchor. A Disguise Mask showing the face of a Player, you presume this to be the attacked Player. You put it on as you continue to look through the rest of the Artifacts, your appearance transforming into that of the mysterious squealingVermin. You then pick up a Scroll, clearly a gift from Lady Clio to help you on your task. You open it, and it simply tells you to Anchor onto a specific object that will arrive on the Land when Hank's Spire appears. The final Artifact is an amulet form of the Paradox Machina famously used by Chronos, which you quickly realize is there to give you the Aspect powers of Hank when you need to use them. You then jump forward, using the object within the Spire to appear exactly where Hank was standing before entering and apparently being eradicated.
It's 2013-03-14 on the Land of Snow and Melody in the Alpha Timeline. It's so cold. You quickly create a sweater using the code provided by the Scroll. AhEAt3RY8SH.. which seems long to you, but it works just fine. You discover that your Sylladex, in addition to gaining the same Fetch Modus as your disguise, also lets you directly equip items to your Disguise. You equip the sweater onto your Hank disguise, and it thankfully keeps you warm as well. You then follow the directions to connect to #SBARGv2_Incipisphere under the chumHandle squealingVermin and follow the script provided.
"I wonder if this mask works on speech too? ...Seems like it. I've never been Orange before."
You talk to yourself briefly, trying to get used to the voice you'll be speaking through for the duration of the Session. It still feels weird to you, but you imagine you'll get used to it.

You are Katyleen Kitten, Witch of Time, Disciple of Lady Cilo. But to your sessionmates, you are Hank [REDACTED], squealingVermin. It is 2013-04-16 on the Land of Ink and Roses, in the Alpha Timeline you've been thanklessly fighting tooth and nail to preserve. You remind yourself not to expect thanks, after all, Lady Cilo told you that the best case a Witch of Time can hope for is that her efforts are so perfect to be undetectable... You just wish you weren't feeling so lonely behind your disguise. After all, your friends don't know you, just the man you pretend to be. Regardless, your Scroll tells you to be here, so you are. You chat with Jovin, foolishFool. Following the Scroll's lead of course. You cringe internally at how Hank speaks, but you follow it to the letter. "It's nothing special really, I'm even like one of the smallest of my earthly friend circle.""which most are like, dead nwo""...ah, okay... seriously?""Yep.""You are... taller then me, which is rare.""One of them made it, he goed my the name MidnightOgre."
[REDACTED] Garren, shinyJiggly enters. You chat with them briefly, and then they leave their laptop behind with the SBARGv2 Server program open connected to Kat [REDACTED], timeTravlur. You begin to follow the blueprints laid out in your Scroll to adapt her Spire into a building referred to as the "H Fucking Q." You continue to chat with Jovin as you work, calculating the Grist price. A new voice comes over the Voicecom you're wearing, you recognize it as [REDACTED], flightlessIcarus. You begin talking with them as well. The player your Scroll had you mention earlier, Luke, midnightOger, pesters your squealingVermin handle. You abandon SJ's laptop to fiddle with a box that will supposedly warp Luke to you. It tries to be too flashy, and you tune it out until Luke appears. You begin talking to them as well, and sit down on the couch to continue following the blueprints. FI and Jovin offer to share their Grist with you to complete the project, and you begin draining theirs as well. A glitchy Player referred to simply as malignGlee appears. You wish you could do something for their condition, but the Scroll offers no solutions. Only building. You construct the BACAFE and "Magazine" with little fanfare. You're working on the third floor when the Scroll tells you to drop what you're doing and alchemize things. You make the things it tells you to, not even sure yourself why. Eventually, after Luke shows you some boots, Kat, timeTravlur finally appears. Along with her sprite, Elsey. You chat with them before the Scroll tells you to head over to the "crux-thingy" and try to enter the code Vroooom. Kat tells you to move the alchemiter outside, which you do so. You then create a van with the code Vroooom and combine it with a Pink Floyd poster to create... "THE UNREAAAAL VAAAAN BROOO" You cheer loudly. After a brief wait for the other Players to enter the Van, you blast off with Luke, a Player known as destitutePilot, Jovin, and malignGee. "We are... not exploding?""...""We're going UNREAL""Holy daaaaaaaaaaaamn"":<""≈>■■▶ THIS WAS A GREAT IDEAAAAA""HELL YAAAAA""No- THIS THE OPPISTE OF A GREAT IDEA!""I'm Half expecting for FG to come out of nowhere and say NOPE, and the van dissapears.""≈>■■▶ LETS SINCERELY HOPE THAT DOESNT HAPPEN"i.imgur.com/Yz1GrDQ.png |

You are Katyleen Kitten, Witch of Time and Disciple of Clio. You're still in disguise as Hank, squealingVermin on the Land of Snow and Melody in April 2013. You're on top of the Spire, fighting off a hoard of imps. Suddenly, a portal appears above you and the player you recognize as Charles, frozenLake drops out of it... in the God Tier outfit of a Rouge of Heart! You check your Scroll, but there's no information. All you know is that Time feels distorted suddenly. You decide to stay in character.
"Woah! How did you get your God Tier already?"

"Fade... Fade away..." [[Todo: Arrange the exported Discord logs into a nice setup here.]] Using an Advanced Soulbot, a rift created by Brae, and the Heart and Void powers of Charles, you manage to avoid fading away. But what will you do now? Not even you know. |
