It's sunset. I don't think the sun has set the entire time I've been here. The island is bathed in an orange light only known by soft drinks.   what the fuck was a fish doing with a piece of heart container? did it fucking eat someone that fell in?  what do you mean "more passion"? I fished out every fucking fish in this pond!
might as well see if anyone is on the phone. {open phonetaplog} Seth: please don't be a fucking screamer....Micha: Hello?Seth: ...hello?Seth: oh hey, it's youMicha: Oh! It's you again.Micha: Strange.Micha: But not unwelcome I guess.Seth: glad to finally have somebody to talk to that isn't fake, a dog, or a combination of the two.Rob: (that's a low blow and you know it.)Micha: Fake Dogs?Seth: bow wow.Bow-wow: *arf arf!*Seth: yes, I said your nameBow-wow: *arf arf arf!*Micha: OhMicha: I've heard he is kinda fuzzy.Micha: Is he fun to pet?Seth: never actually tried. he doesn't really look that fuzzy- how is this fur so softSeth: it barely looks like fur but I can't stop pettingMicha: HahaSeth: fuck, how am I supposed to return him to madame meow meow nowSeth: he's too cuteMicha: Must be nice Seth: stop licking my faceRob: (I never thought I'd see the day when you're making a fool of yourself like this.)Micha: So uh... I've got another existential crisis question again.Seth: shut up rob, I'm not supposed to get attached- what is it this time?Micha: I'm just a bundle of insecurity and bad vibes honestly.Micha: But like...Micha: When you were little, did you like... ever want to be "the hero"?Seth: nah, I always just wanted to be plain badass. I couldn't give a fuck less about saving anyone.Micha: Ah...Seth: I've come a long way from that...Seth: though being badass is still pretty tightMicha: It's like... I always kinda had that dream in the back of my mind.Micha: And when I played the game, it was like, a dream come true.Micha: I got to play the hero role right?Micha: Or at least I thought I was going to...Seth: ha, the game tends to fuck with its players like that.Micha: Yeah...Micha: That one chance you get to be player 1Micha: and it sticks you back in player 2.Micha: Heck, not even player 2Micha: more like player 4.Seth: you think you have everything you ever wanted, but it's just a cover-up for all the fucked up shit that's going on.Micha: Do you want to know my power? I'm basically just a walking rabbit's foot, four leaf clover kind of dealSeth: lady luck in heels?Micha: Thats my whole title.Micha: I just make other people luckyMicha: I guess.Seth: so you're sick of being the booster in the back?Micha: I've been demoted from player to walking charmMicha: I thought I was...Micha: I've always been pushed around like that...Micha: and then the game gives me the exact same treatmentMicha: LikeMicha: Maybe I was just destined to be a trinketSeth: fuck no. you're more than a fucking light-up keychain.Micha: Am I?Micha: I can't even get those fortune ball things right.Micha: I'm a mess of random useless infoMicha: My light powers don't work like their supposed to because i built them into something they were supposed to be used for.Micha: And my luck ability really only works on other people and money finding.Micha: Do you know how many times I've ended up completely wrecked?Micha: Broken bones and bruises?Micha: I don't sound very lucky at all.Seth: ...what's your class?Micha: I thought maybe I'd make a difference around here...Micha: I'm an Heir...Micha: Heir of Light, walking beacon of luck and wealthSeth: I guess we have even more in common. I'm an heir of time.Micha: I can turn into a little light ball which is okay but...Micha: Yeah?Seth: just a couple hours ago I think I established conventional time in this dream.Seth: If I can do something like that, I'm sure you can do something fucking awesome with your light powers.Micha: ...well...Micha: I was able to make these... light "traps"Micha: I guess...Micha: I can convert light into raw energyMicha: but thats more of an active class type thing...Micha: That...Micha: really only got me into some trouble...Micha: own team mates attacking meMicha: horror terrors attacking meSeth: I don't know much about active and passive shit, but I think you need to do what you think you should do. and holy shit what the fuck did you get tangled in?Micha: I figured since light is their natural enemy out here in the pitch black I could do some damageMicha: but...Micha: I built this giant light cannon thing and my team mates attacked me to stop meSeth: don't tell me you had a half insane mentor who taught you everything you knew and got you to fuck shit up too.Micha: i set it off anywayMicha: noMicha: I just... learnedMicha: that's the random info that just shows upMicha: Sometimes I just /know/ things.Micha: And after being out in the void for a while knowing some of these things is frightening...Micha: there's plenty of stuff I wish I could unlearnMicha: but my powers prevent me from doing itSeth: you've been out in the void? no wonder you're such a mess.Micha: After my session got wiped i drifted for an indeterminate amount of time out there amongst themMicha: you hear themMicha: a lotMicha: even in your dreamsMicha: I've heard them so much I started to understand their wordsMicha: and speak itMicha: its not really... naturalSeth: holy shit...Micha: ...Micha: I figured it was best If I just went to sleepMicha: and never woke up like...Micha: she didMicha: ...Micha: at least I'd be able to contain my crazy to some extent...Micha: I could stop ruining lives out here...Seth: ....I, I don't know what to say.Micha: Sorry this is a lot of stuff...Micha: I just wish the game ended in a way where I was just back home at my desk...Micha: Like it was all a big dream...Micha: Or just a poor run through of the game.Micha: Time powers must be luckyMicha: You could at least change a few things...Seth: you call seeing your own dead body twice in a row lucky?Micha: At least I would have known I failed right.Seth: you may think you can change things, but the more you try to change, the more it resists.Seth: and it turns out, all this time you were a fucking cog in the machine given a rubber band to tie the broken shitstorm together.Seth: failure isn't even an option with time, you just have to keep going.Seth: or else you dieMicha: ...Seth: it doesn't have the patience to be nice about it either....Micha: I wish there was a way to just...Micha: shut powers off...Seth: wouldn't it be nice if we could just be ignored instead of expected to do something great?Micha: I wish I could do something great and stop being ignored...Micha: ......Hey... do you.... know if the game is coded in anything...?Micha: I was wandering through one of my dreams and like...Micha: saw this thingSeth: you think maybe, you're not actually being ignored, but that it only feels like it because you're used to being the center of attention?Micha: I dunnoMicha: ....Micha: I've...Seth: oh, I think I can actually answer that one. the session I came from at least was coded in ~ATH.Micha: never really thought about it like that.... but I never reeally felt like the center of attentionMicha: ~ATH?Seth: you know, the shitty programming language that works when things die?Micha: I wasn't really awareMicha: ......you dont happen to have likeMicha: a code for "ATH~ for Dummies" do youSeth: can't say I do here. Micha: huh...Micha: AlrightMicha: It's... dumbMicha: I just had this little ideaSeth: it's a really fucking hard language if I remember correctly. and don't even think about fucking with game code.Micha: wanted to know if I could make anything with itMicha: No noMicha: I don't think id' go that far...Seth: you'll garble the fuck out of anything before you make anything cool with it.Micha: im already pretty garbledMicha: plus this power i have has likeSeth: my session was practically made of broken code from that kind of shitMicha: one good effectMicha: broken code?Seth: glitches everywhere.Micha: do you have examples?Micha: imMicha: kinda okay at fixing busted stuffMicha: sometimesSeth: plenty. name a place and I can tell you things that were wrong with it.Micha: Huh...Micha: Lets start with a gateMicha: beginning game?Seth: the gates... those shitty things didn't even lead to the right places.Seth: some of them even landed players inside of walls.Micha: yikesSeth: not a pretty picture.Micha: no, id imagine not Seth: I remember once I tried to get past the gates with a jetpack.Seth: for using logic, I was punished and they were taken away while I was wearing them.Micha: wowSeth: it was fucking humiliating.Micha: sorry broSeth: part of the reason I don't use my old handle anymore when on pesterchum.Micha: Ah...Micha: I understand thatSeth: charles kept making drowning jokes when he saw me in the memo.Micha: I did kind of the opposite....Micha: I made a new handle to try and be someone elseMicha: but i came back to this oneRob: (...you do know we've been here for an hour?)Seth: rob, I know I've been talking to this lady for almost an hour, give me a fucking break here.Micha: Do you need to go?Seth: not really, but someone wants me to get off the phone.Micha: It's okayMicha: I can goSeth: it was nice talking to you.Micha: sameMicha: thanksSeth: you're welcome.It was Micha. She always seems to make me think a lot about things when we're on the phone together. She's got some serious issues, that's for sure. I'm not sure if I'm even the right person to be helping her with this shit, since I have my fair share of problems too. But I guess while we're in contact, I might as well try to push her in some direction. |

 ...there it is, madame meow-meow's house. what are you waiting for?I... I can't do this. ...are you saying you've committed murder multiple times and yet you can't return a dog to its owner?"THOSE THINGS DON'T EVEN COMPARE TO EACHOTHER. BOW-WOW IS MY FRIEND AND A WAY BETTER COMPANION THAN YOU." ...you do realize everyone here thinks you're yelling at thin air? you're the only one who can see and hear me."DO YOU THINK I FUCKING CARE RIGHT NOW?" Not really, but just saying."EITHER WAY, I'M NOT READY YET AND THAT'S FINAL."  I need someone else to talk to here...  ring ring!{open phonetaplog}
Seth: ...who's this?
Amy: Hello?
Seth: ...are't you ben's spider...daughter?
Amy: Yeah, this is Amy. ...Seth?
Seth: yeah. how's ben doing? how's my body doing?
Amy: They're 8oth fine.
Seth: thank goodness.
Amy: I'd put 8en on the line, 8ut he's not here...
Seth: off busy with something?
Bow-wow: *arf arf*
Amy: Yeah... Is that a dog?
Seth: sorta.
Amy: Why do you have a dog?
Seth: his name is bow-wow, and he's pretty much my best friend here that isn't a ghost. I rescued him from a bunch of asshole moblins who stole him.
Rob: (did something just get a little warm up in here or is it just me?)
Seth: he belongs to somebody else though.
Amy: May8e you can convince them to let you keep him?
Seth: yeah right. from what I've seen, she adores bow-wow almost more than I do.
Amy: Hee hee... May8e we can find you a replacement when you get 8ack?
Seth: do you really think anything can replace bow-wow?
Amy: I don't know... I haven't seen it or anything, 8ut...
Seth: not only is he metal as fuck, but he's also soft and protective.
Amy: Sounds like 8en to me.
Seth: .....
Seth: how am I supposed to give bow-wow back to his owner?
Amy: I can't really help you there...
Rob: (you can literally just walk there. it's even in the same village.)
Seth: no rob, it isn't that easy.
Amy: Ro8?
Seth: some shitty ghost
Rob: ("some shitty ghost". Did you come up with that title all by yourself for me?)
Seth: won't leave me alone
Amy: Ghosts usually do that, don't they?
Seth: I guess so.
Seth: ever since I killed him in that boss battle he's been stuck with me.
Amy: Is he mad you killed him?
Seth: doesn't seem like it, he was practically waiting to die. he just seems to gain pleasure from pissing me off all the time.
Rob: (well, you got one thing right, I'll give you that.)
Amy: Also sounds like 8en.
Seth: ....are you sure you're talking about the same ben?
Amy: He's nice, 8ut he also kinda likes teasing people.
Bow-wow: *arf arf!*
Amy: Do you have to feed him?
Amy: 8ow Wow, I mean.
Seth: he pretty much feeds himself. whenever we're walking along somewhere, he usually chomps down on an unsuspecting enemy here and there.
Seth: it freaked me out at first, but I've gotten used to it.
Amy: Uh... does he at least make sure it's an enemy?
Seth: he's pretty good about that.
Amy: Well, that's good at least.
Seth: one time I tried to make him eat a fucking annoying owl and he wouldn't budge at all.
Seth: just sat there while it droned on and on...
Rob: (sort of like you when you're on the phone all evening long.)
Amy: May8e it won't attack things that talk?
Seth: I've seen moblins talk, and they still get attacked.
Seth: then again, they did dognap him in the first place.
Amy: So what kinda dog is he anyway?
Seth: a barking ball and chain.
Seth: no joke, he literally looks like that.
Bow-wow: *arf arf*
Amy: ...A Chain Chomp?
Seth: ....what?
Amy: Like from Mario.
Seth: they have those in mario games?
Amy: Yeah, they're enemies. Remem8er?
Seth: what the fuck?
Amy: They're invinci8le and they attack you if you get too close.
Seth: I've barely played any mario games
Amy: ...That makes sense, actually.
Seth: the only thing I can really identify from mario games are those walking mushrooms.
Amy: They're good games.
Amy: ...Well, I guess we don't have much else to discuss...
Seth: seems like it.
Seth: ...it's gonna be tough giving bow-wow up...
Amy: It's pro8a8ly 8est not to dwell on it, you know?
Amy: Enjoy it while it lasts.
Seth: but for how long?
Seth: I'm literally a couple houses away from the owner right now.
Amy: If you dwell on that, you won't 8e a8le to enjoy it.
Rob: (she's right, but at the same time, you've already had your quality time with bow-wow.)
Seth: ...
Rob: (if you want to get serious about this detachment ordeal, this is a good place to begin.)
Amy: ...8ut that's just how I view it.
Seth: I think I should go now.
Amy: Okay. See you later!
Seth: say hi to ben for me.
Amy: I will.
So, are you gonna do it now?soon, maybe later.      ...what the fuck is this kid doing outside at this time of night? this is sort of the first night ever on koholint island, remember, 'chronos junior'?"DON'T FUCKING CALL ME THAT. I AM NOT MY FATHER." whoawhoawhoa, I was just cracking a joke there. Considering you literally started time here, it seemed fitting."I DON'T CARE." ...the kid over there is crying now. look at what scene you've caused. He thinks you're screaming at him for calling you bro.YOUR FUCKING GUILT TRIPS DON'T WORK ON ME, ROB.  hey, you should really take a rest right now. you could get a rage aneurysm if you keep this up. ....I'm blaming you if that happens.
 zzzzzzzzzzzz...... |

  Look, are you really gonna miss that yoshi doll? give it to the baby.I was planning on giving it to Ma-imean... ...okay, I'll give it to the fucking baby.   ...great, a bow. hey, maybe you could give that to Marin, I bet she'd like that, right?"shut up rob!" ...you just punched at the air.fuck you and your ghost ass. hey sorry bro, but I don't swing that way.

  ...this dog would seriously give up a meal for a ribbon? She obviously wants the bow quite a bit if she's willing to go that far. And judging from the skeleton on the ground she probably won't be going hungry after missing a can.
I might as well, not planning on doing anything with this anyways.  ...great, what the fuck am I going to do with this?
 what's behind these rocks...  ...fuck this, we're going somewhere else.
 let's get back over here.  prairie... good, we're going the right way.  take that, you ornamental rock formation.  those fucking winged enemies... they won't be able to get us in here. I haven't called anyone for a bit anyways. |

 Ring ring!Who is it this time... {open phonetaplog}Seth: hello?
Katie: sup seth
Katie: it's PK
Seth: ...who the fuck are you and how do you know my name?
Seth: I don't remember you
Katie: Pretty sure we talked in the session at least once
Seth: i guess you're somebody i forgot or was erased from my memory.
Seth: i can't wait to wake up. this dream is a fucking mess.
Katie: What's happening over there?
Seth: not only do I have a ghost tormenting me at all hours, but some bizarro puppet wants to get rid of me too.
Seth: I'm not even fucking sure if there's anything I can do about either of them.
Katie: Try playing music, that tends to calm down puppets trying to kill you. Not sure what you can do about the ghost though.
Seth: tried to attack the puppet and it snapped me out of range. tried to attack the ghost and it had no effect except for making me look like an idiot.
Seth: right now I'm supposed to look for a slime key or some shit to get to the next dungeon.
Katie: Apparently you need 5 golden leaves or some shit to be able to find the slime key
Seth: 5 golden leaves? where the fuck am I going to find those?
Seth: is there a golden tree I can pick them off of?
Katie: they're in that castle place, you have to give them to some guy named "richard" apparently
Katie: who lives south of the castle in "Pothole Field" apparently
Seth: ...great.
Seth: maybe now that bow-wow is returned home that dick will actually talk to me.
Seth: thanks, whoever you are.
Katie: no problem seth, call me if you need me to google stuff for you again.
Somebody new. The voice is vaguely familiar but I can't quite place it. At least she seems trustworthy. Ring ring!another caller. {open phonetaplog}Seth: hello?
Seth: who is it this time?
Micha: Hey, It's me.
Micha: Uh, Micha.
Seth: oh, hey there Micha
Seth: how are you doing?
Micha: Better, actually...
Seth: that's good to hear.
Micha: I wanted to thank you again.
Micha: Being able to talk about stuff like before cleared my head a bit.
Seth: no problem.
Micha: I guess it pays to have good friends, you know?
Micha: I can call you that right?
Micha: Or is that weird.
Seth: i figure you're earned it by now.
Micha: eheh
Micha: I managed to wake up...
Micha: I'm not locked in a coma state anymore.
Seth: I wish I could say the same for myself. I'm still stuck here.
Seth: and it's even worse than it was earlier.
Micha: You can do it.
Micha: I'm sure you've got friends cheering you one too.
Micha: on*
Seth: i guess, but it doesn't change the fact that this place is fucking torture.
Micha: Well keep your vitality up, you'll make it out.
Micha: At least it's not Dark Souls
Micha: ehehe
Seth: ...do you know how to deal with a ghost that won't stop bothering?
Micha: Undead were a specialty of mine. If you can make the ghost tangible, you can expose them to sunlight and they will burn right up.
Seth: that's the problem, I don't know how to make him tangible.
Seth: any punches thrown go straight thought
Micha: I guess a focused ray of sunlight could also work on some level...
Micha: I've heard Music might coax them out once before.
Micha: But you need the right kind of instrument for certain ghosts
Seth: I have a cello and a conch so far.
Micha: Have you tried playing them at the ghost?
Seth: it's weird, you're the second person today that's suggested using music against my enemies.
Micha: Really?
Micha: Huh.
Seth: haven't tried it yet but I'll see what it does.
Micha: I picked up a hobby, finally.
Seth: yeah, someone suggested I play music to get rid of a bizarro puppet that's bent on getting rid of me.
Micha: Oh shoot.
Seth: then again, it was in a 2nd level dream, so I'm not even sure if it even is a puppet.
Micha: You went down a level in the dream scape?
Seth: yeah, but I got snapped back to the main level.
Micha: That's pretty hard core.
Seth: fuck yeah
Micha: I've been down a level myself... things can get pretty nasty.
Micha: Like, dreams are already hard to figure out. Going down any levels just messes it up
Seth: yeah...
Seth: ....shit, I can hear those flying mushrooms dropping bombs outside
Micha: Yikes
Seth: I gotta go. Nice talking to you
Micha: Alright, cya later.
you liar, the bomb dropping mushrooms aren't even remotely close.Hey, I was only cutting it short so you wouldn't complain so much.
I can think of better excuses than "oh no explosion noises" to end a phone call.You know what? that's it. We're through here. I know how to get you away from me, and you can't stop me. I'd like to see you try. |

 ...what the fuck is this shit? Do you think a song fades after you play it? it only grows stronger with practice. But, I applaud your efforts. You've passed the test.THIS WAS A FUCKING TEST?!  I couldn't just tell you out right, you would have never gotten it done without a good reason. You see, instead of being violent, you chose to take a non-combative route. Not every problem can be solved by punching or stabbing. But you are a problem, and it didn't even get solved! Not anymore. All that trolling was mostly for the sake of motivation. To tell the truth, your anger isn't exactly the best thing to feed off of, not to mention how drained it left you afterwards. Maybe a little later I can show you a couple tricks here and there to make up for it. I'm still mad at you. I can tell.Can you at least leave me alone for a little while now?
yeah, I can do that. I'll just be floating over here.  Yes, I want the key.    Seems to match up with what-PK was her name I think?- mentioned. Must be the right path after all. |

 Kanalet castle... must be the place to go for those leaves.  ...where the fuck are we now? it's taking more than just five minutes to get there. how hard should a castle be to find with signs leading to it? you'd be surprised. a staircase?  fuck this shit, we're turning around.
 ...seashell mansion?  this isn't a mansion. This is literally a 1-room treehouse. Why are we even here? beats me.  I see it up ahead.  ...fuck, the gate's locked. we should probably go around. There should be a secret passageway around here.
 ...  ...we're gonna have to feed that monkey something. looks like it.do monkeys eat dog food? do dogs eat monkey food?well, what the fuck am I supposed to feed this monkey anyways? bananas obviously....great. we have to backtrack all the way across the island now. |

 Where the fuck are we now Maybe you should check the map?Maybe if I was allowed to check the map I would, but no, it has a fucking warning label written in blood! my own blood! How do you know it's yours anyways?look, who else's blood would it be anyways? and considering that timeclone was pretty fucking bloody hey, you're the one who's killed people here. I'm dead proof of it....let's just, change topic.  you can ask someone on the phone. There's a phone booth. Let me see if this number works.... {open phonetaplog, part 1}
Ben: ...or
Ben: ok
Seth: "hello?"
(Kageto): uh... ok then?
Seth: "who is this?"
Raz: Gimme a sec, let me see if...
Seth: "...what the fuck? rob, are you fucking with me here?"
Rob: (that wasn't me. well, in a way it sort of is, but not really. different guy same voice.)
Raz: No I did enough of that, didn't I.
Raz: Sorry for that.
Seth: "....this is fucking confusing. are you seriously telling me there's someone else that sounds just like you on the other end?"
Rob: (pretty much, yeah.)
(Samm): yuo know how to use this?
Ben: crush it. ...probably wanna wait on this to be over, its a pretty big deal
(Samm): ...yeah,ok. thanks
Seth: "so, what's your deal?"
Raz: My deal is I wanted to apologize for that one unfortunate incident because I'm trying out this thing where I do my best at being better person.
Seth: "unfortunate incident?"
Ben: (hes not doing a very good job at it is he)
Raz: ......
(Kageto): (of what, apologizing?)
Ben: (being a better person)
Seth: "I'm not getting the context here."
(Samm): the point is that he's making efforts
Raz: Did you forget the point I told you just what the merry band here on the meteor was doing.
Ben: i mean i had to learn to be a better person too so
Seth: "...you're that asshole?"
Raz: Yeah.
(Samm): not sure if i had my walkabout yet...
Seth: "how the fuck could i forget something like that?"
Raz: You tell me.
Seth: "oh wait, 'your mind is fucked you know nothing'. thanks a lot."
Seth: "this has been a complete fucking mess ever since you revealed that shit."
Raz: ...Would you have preferred living in ignorance?
(Samm): oh....sounds like mr. mind player
Seth: "at this point, maybe I would. maybe I wouldn't be stuck on this shitty island then."
Ben: i should have picked it up
Raz: They have it out for you. Chances are they would find a reason sooner or later.
(Samm): picked up what?
(Niki): the phone.
(Samm): oh..righty.
Ben: the ph-yeah
Seth: "are you suggesting the horrorterrors are behind this round of asshattery too?"
Raz: ...You didn't know? Well, that figures.
(Samm): well...on the brihgt side, if you had, he wouldn't have been able to try
Raz: Yeah this is all them. Why, I have no idea but the sooner you're out, the better.
Raz: How far into it are you, there's eight macguffins you need to find right? How many ya got.
(Kageto): ...any idea what they're talking about?
Seth: "I have two instruments and I'm trying to find bananas for a monkey right now."
Ben: i could help him
Raz: Of course you can.
Raz: So where do you find bananas in the game, hm?
Ben: its part of a trading sequence
Ben: ill need to talk to him to know where he is in it
 {open phonetaplog, part 2}
Ben: hey seth
Seth: "hey ben. nice to hear you again."
Ben: so youre after the bananas huh?
(Niki): wait.... that's seth on the phone?
Ben: alright, lemme see how well i remember the trading sequence
Seth: "yeah"
(Kageto): wait wat
Ben: did you get the yoshi doll yet
Seth: "yeah. gave it to a baby."
Ben: ok, so you got the ribbon...
Raz: tosser...
Seth: "gave that to a chain chomp."
(Samm): ...mr. mind guy
Ben: so you have the dog food?
Seth: "yeah"
Ben: alright, youre almost there
Ben: there should be a house on the beach with a big crocodile in it
Ben: give him the dog food and hell give you the bananas
(Samm): ...this sounds ridiculous
Seth: "...he eats dog food? what the fuck?"
Raz: You memorized this.
Ben: hey, dont question it man
Ben: raz, its a 4-step process
Ben: i dont remember the rest of the trading sequence off the top of my head
Seth: "I vaguely remember finding a crocodile in a beach shack."
Raz: Yeah alright.
Ben: yeah, thats the guy
Seth: "it's pretty far away though"
Seth: "all the way across the island I think."
Ben: well, get him the dog food and hell give you the bananas
Ben: i usually do all this before i even open up tail cave but obviously i couldnt have expected you to do that
Seth: "I'd give a more certain answer if I was allowed to use the map."
Ben: oh, also, i dont remember the rest of it right off but youll get something from the monkeys after you give em the bananas
Ben: and you can eventually trade that for something and so on and so forth
Ben: and you get the best weapon in the game
Seth: "for some reason I found a map that had the words 'don't use this' written in blood or some shit."
Ben: ...uh
Ben: thats
Ben: not in the normal game
Seth: "...."
Raz: ...
Ben: id say just follow its advice
Seth: "then what the fuck is it, some shitty scare tactic?"
Ben: hell if i know
Ben: i aint there with you
Raz: ...
(Samm): hey
Raz: ...Hey.
Seth: "anyway, I should get going towards the shack now. talk to you later."
Raz: I. Sorry just one sec...
Ben: yeah, ill see if i can get the rest of the sequence memorized for you
Raz: Hang on, don't hang up yet.
Ben: yo, seth, you still there?
Seth: "yeah, still here"
Ben: think raz wants to talk to you some more
Seth: "raz? that's his name over there?"
Ben: hell if i know honestly
Ben: anyway here he is
{open phonetaplog, part 3}
Seth: "at least it makes it easier to tell them apart slightly..."
Seth: "what is it this time?"
Raz: Ben said that map isn't a normal part of the game...
Raz: So is there anything else that's been happening that doesn't feel right.
Raz: That doesn't feel like it belongs in the game, anything new or different. Anything off.
Seth: "well, I'm pretty fucking sure the game didn't have doomed timeclones. There was also some weird-ass puppet in a 2nd level dream that wanted to get rid of me. "
Raz: Explain further.
Raz: You fell asleep in there and encountered something?
Seth: "it talked backwards-okay, -she- talked backwards and had a weird color scheme, and horns similar to mine, but black."
Raz: Sounds symbolic.
Raz: Think it could've been you?s
Seth: "symbolic of what?"
Raz: Hell if I know, your fractured psyche? The chains imposed on your by the will of others at every turn? Golden Boy not getting a second season?
Raz: Possibilities are endless. But. You might know.
Seth: "that really helps a lot. not."
Raz: It's just conjecture but second level dream... that sounds like the kind of thing going on in your mind. It could be some scare tactic or maybe it's a sign to look deeper into yourself, evaluate shit. Take stock of... something.
Seth: "all I know is I tried to attack her and I didn't get a chance before she snapped me back to this level."
Raz: Maybe next time instead of flying off the handle you talk it out. At least til the claws come out, then all bets are off.
Seth: "I'll try, but if she pulls any shit, I'm clipping those strings."
Raz: Regard or disregard that at your own leisure. I know we're not friends and we probably won't ever be but. I am sorry for hurting you and I don't want to see you living out your eternity in some simulated game.
Ben: ...
Raz: And if we talk again. Let me know if anything else is off, or keep me updated on this.
Raz: That's probably enough for now, right? Ben, you wanna say anything else?
Ben: nah
Ben: anybody else?
(Kageto): uh...
(Kageto): I... have no idea what's even going on, so...
(Niki): apparently seth's on the phone.
Raz: Sterling as ever Kaga.
Raz: Last call, going once...
Seth: "...your apologies aren't gonna cut it, but I'll give updates next time we talk."
(Kageto): well, I don't have anything to say that'd help without further context...
Raz: Later.
(Kageto): yeah
Raz: Everyone says bye. Even Kaga.
Seth: "can I hang up now?"
So, that was a thing. Didn't expect there to be another out there with the same template. Seemed like he put his own spin on it a bit....template? I'll explain on the way there. |

 So, as you've probably gathered by now, the nightmares were created to guard the 8 siren instruments. I was one of them, as you know. They say that once the horned one appears, the end will draw near. The grand nightmare was afraid of this coming to fruition when you showed up.  Each of us were crafted of shadow and then given a template to follow borrowed from your memories, to take on the forms of those that had an adverse effect on you, so as to dissuade you from defeating them.  Obviously it's a flawed system in the face of necessity, but it seems to have taken on another purpose altogether...  but if you were on their side, then why the fuck are you helping me? They may call me a fool, but I believe both sides can get what they want out of this. Just because a vague prophecy gets partially fulfilled doesn't make it true. I believe if we work together, I can still save Koholint and you can return to the waking world you came from. ...Well, there's the banana shack. Let's go inside. |

 here you go?   We got the bananas. Let's take these to the monkey.
 isn't the way back the other way?I know my directions. Kanalet castle is to the northeast of here, and considering the direction of the sun relative to the current time, that way is east. ...didn't think you'd have that figured out.as I said, I know my directions.  and why didn't you bring this navigational prowess up last time we got lost?Because we were in a new area. ...right.
 something tells me you can't clear this gap.Just watch me. you'll be chewing on that ahoge. |

Let's see if this works...
ring ring!
whwwhoa! it's ringing already! that was quick. {open phonetaplog}
Niki: um, hello? did I get the right number? ➜
Rob: ♥ depends on who you're trying to call.
Niki: ...Rob, is that you? ➜
Rob: ♥ yes and no.
Rob: ♥ yes, I am rob, no I'm not the one you think I am.
Niki: okay then... ➜
Niki: ...why do I hear a heartbeat on your end of the line? ➜
Rob: ♥ it's a side-effect of the bond I share with my host.
Niki: isn't it like...creepy? ➜
Niki: huh... ➜
Niki: just wondering, do you give... relationship advice? ➜
Rob: ♥ on occasion.
Rob: ♥ maybe we could do a little trade here. I need some info on where to find the 5 golden leaves of kanalet castle.
Niki: 5 golden leaves of kanalet castle? ➜
Rob: ♥ yeah
Niki: wait a minute... ➜
Niki: isn't that somethin from link's awakening? ➜
Rob: ♥ you guessed it.
Niki: sure, let me look it up real quick ➜
Niki: found the wiki page.... ➜
Niki: huh, they're solid gold... but isn't gold leaf usually a light layer on top though? ➜
Rob: ♥ who knows.
Niki: alright, found the thing ➜
Niki: the first one is guarded by some dude who throws bombs ➜
Niki: like, over near some holes ➜
Rob: ♥ alright...
Niki: the second one a crow has, gotta chuck a rock at it... ➜
Niki: third one is held by... a darknut? why do they even call them darknuts anyways? ➜
Rob: ♥ look, I don't got much time on here.
Niki: okay okay, ➜
Niki: in the second room on the 1st floor defeat the darknut there. ➜
Niki: then find the dude with the ball and chain and take him out... ➜
Niki: and then find the darknut stone carvings and throw bombs at them. ➜
Niki: you gota fight the darknuts that pop out too ➜
Rob: ♥ okay, I got it.
Rob: ♥ now what's your question?
Niki: well... ➜
Niki: I kinda screwed up my chances at a really good relationship ➜
Niki: I "pity dated" a hot guy long-distance instead of waiting for the guy I really liked to reappear, even though he had been gone for like, 5 ever and I didn't even know the rift was going to bring him back literally the very next day after making it official and I'm a piece of crud for it. ➜
Rob: ♥ whoawhoawhoa there. slow down.
Rob: ♥ relax.
Rob: ♥ give me a moment here.
Rob: ♥ alright, I've got an answer.
Rob: ♥ I believe you should go with whoever makes you happy.
Rob: ♥ make sure the other in the deal is happy too though, love is a two-way street.
Niki: it's easier said than done though... ➜
Niki: like, the hot guy hadn't had a woman in all that time, and he was just so... depressed. ➜
Niki: I couldn't stand seeing him so sad. ➜
Niki: when we first arrived in charcherry, all these guys wanted me left and right. I couldn't choose and frankly I wasn't ready for anyone. so I chose nobody for a while. ➜
Niki: most of them dropped off the face of the planet. ➜
Rob: ♥ sounds like you had the upper hand.
Niki: the only one that seemed remotely datable that remained was the cool guy. did I mention the town barely had anyone around at the time? ➜
Niki: and that the only other guys were two dudes that weren't even interesting, a dangerous underaged basketcase, and a best friend who's also half-wolf? ➜
Rob: ♥ dangerous underaged basketcase... why does that sound familliar...
Niki: it's not important. ➜
Niki: no pun intended ➜
Rob: ♥ what pun?
Niki: nevermind, stupid joke. ➜
Niki: anyways... ➜
Niki: I don't know what to do. no matter what action I take, one of them is going to be depressed, and because of me. ➜
Niki: what do I do... ➜
Rob: ♥ look: a man isn't gonna fall apart forever after being dumped.
Rob: ♥ sure, they'll be hurt for a while, but they will recover.
Niki: but I don't want to take any chances. ➜
Rob: ♥ why not?
Niki: taking chances... just doesn't turn out that well. ➜
Rob: ♥ listen, I gotta get going now. think about what I said about whichever one makes you happy. it's your choice in the end.
Niki: ...thank you, I guess. ➜
Rob: ♥ no problem.
 there you are. what the fuck took you so long? a young woman's heart was on the line. Had to point her in the right direction. Got the leaf locations out of it though.I don't care about some bitch on the phone. Let's just get going. |

 ...Wait, how the fuck did you use the phone? I possessed it. Inanimate objects are pretty easy to take control of. so, someone besides me was able to hear you? It's a bit complicated to explain, but let's just say it's a phone thing, yeah.
 this ass keeps throwing these shitty bombs at me. Fuck this. We're gonna have to fight that guy eventually. He does have one of the leaves. This should be easier to start with. According to the woman, that crow has a golden leaf.that crow up there? yep. GET DOWN HERE AND I'LL TEACH YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF MURDER! ...Seth, there's perfectly lethal rocks over here to chuck at it. give the scythe a break.
 See? that wasn't so hard, was it?You try hitting a bird with a rock and call it easy.  Got it. Where's the next one that isn't guarded by a crazy bomb throwing fuck? The next one is in the castle. |

 ...I think you've thrown enough pots for now.I'll throw as many pots as I want!  that armored ass was no match for me.
 FUCK YES! TAKE THAT! Looks like we got all 5 now.That dick better thank me. |
