Turn 1, Day 2, ???

As everyone wakes up again, they find themselves in the circle once more. The Cube has relocated to its center, and the Grim Chest has moved to the side.

Everyone rubbed the sand out of their eyes, as the memory of the recent nightmare faded slowly into the aether.

The four Uniqs flew together in the circle and presented the horror heart, drifting slowly in circles while talking to the heroes:

: "Everyone! We hope you had a pleasant sleep!"

: "OH YEAH!! Day 2 is happening guys!"

: "...We should... Get started, right? So just, get up. We have something important to say."

: "LISTEN UP ASSHATS!! Teehee!"

: "The Horror Hearts are very precious to this world! I don't know how, or why, but these are what makes this place tick! They are always used to create Flood bosses, who are a sort of "End of Day Challenge". The Horror Hearts are the result of these battles being won, and in turn they hide precious secrets! If by some chance we didn't beat the boss, the boss would lock down time, and the trials would end, together with all your lives. Don't worry, engaging the boss is what stops the timer, so you did the right thing. I remember some groups ran from it long enough for it to shut down time and... Well, we can still move and see, and the sight wasn't pretty. I have a feeling you guys know what you did when you Sacrificed Honor and Reasonability!"

: "YOU DID GOOD KIDS!!"

: "Though you did lose one, but that isn't your fault..."

: "We are so happy for you!"

: "Now, lets unlock the Horror Heart!"

The Horror Heart begins glowing as a large machine is formed from the light!

: "Ah, the first crafting machine, the Duplicator! This one can perfectly clone something, if you give it the right materials! It will ask of you the matters needed, then you just add it to the vent on the far right and presto, you got a double! It's really simple!... Oh?"

Yet another Sprite rise from the new machine!

: "Hello World!"

: "Hello again DoDo! How does it feel to be free again after !"#¤ years?"

: "It's double fine Cube!"

: "We already detailed what you did, since you have a habit of being forgetful."

: "No we don't!.. Okay yes we do. Hello everyone!"

After the light show, the Horror Heart was still here.

: "Looks like the power saved in the heart has been depleted, and now it can only serve its original function."

: "Yeah! Hey heroes, if one of you picks this up and bind it to you, you will unlock a Limit Break! It's a super powerful move, that has all sorts of conditions to being activated! I hope one of you is up to the task!"

: "Yes, we would love to see it!"

Yeah. And every character needs to die twice to be out.

No, they just need to die in bleed out state, That is, take 5 turns without help. Thats not dying twice. When gotten back up from bleed out, you are fragile, that can kill you instantly if you hit 0 in HP.

In a way, you have to die twice I guess.

Also you don't have to post anything in the main thread, unless you want to. You could post some thoughts the characters have as they sleep, or some other nonesense

: "How-" *Yawn* "...About a house?"

: "If we are talking a regular house and not some sort of, constructed terror tower or a castle, it should at most be 5 Tones!"

Turn 24, Day 1, End of Day

Everyone were getting really sluggish.

A few of the people already drifted off, Seuche finally got the Eastern Breeze equipped, and laziness was all around.

Queen looked for something new to use as a tossing weapon, but she found nothing, on account of her sleepy eyes.

: "Cube, what is the simplest way-" *Yawn* "T-To, restore Magick Part around here? In my world, could merely rest for a while."

: "Well, do that! Rest! It usually takes a couple of turns to restore a single point of Magick Part, but it should come back to you naturally. There are drinks and foods that can restore Magick Part too though."

Cora pays the Tones as the bell starts to ring once more. The would around her seemed to bend itself easier now. The trees dropped their fruit, the clouds moved away and the clearest day was seen. Music wafted through the air as the rocks got up and started marching, the animals and creatures all joined in harmony, in happiness, in... Control. Then the vision died like an ant under a spyglass, the quick eruption of reality came flooding back.

"...Wait, what was that all about?"

Sadie got ahold of the root, and checked it for details! Her improved vision and knowledge of the world seemed to unfold the abilities of the root, but alone it didn't seem able to produce anything.

: "Ssssh ssh. Only dreams now."

Those who were still standing, fell over and fell asleep.

Day 1 has ended.

retco-what?

You asked if you could take it, not commanded that you took it. Yes, I eased my workload on a classical "literal genie", but just request it again if thats what you want. If not, give some other command.

Basically: IF I SKIP A COMMAND, ITS PROBABLY A HICCUP, REQUEST IT AGAIN AND I WILL GET IT DONE.

: "How much?"

: "WELL THAT DEPENDS FLESHLING! For a simple movement, it can take as little as 1 Tone! If the item is large, it can take more, but for example a tree, thats 3 Tones for moving and replacing!"

Turn 23, Day 1, ???

Everyone's eyelids seemed to get even heavier, even those without proper eyes or eyelids.

Cora leapt into a tree while munching one of the fruits, but none of the fruits or suitable branches were around. What a shame. Before she leapt though, Sadie got a good look on the Spirer Fruit.

It seems that the fruit alone could make a result if Sadie got to tinker with it!

REGIS walks up to Ding and orders another ability for 15 Tones:

The bell starts ringing 15 tolls as REGIS' mind dissolves. It becomes the land around it, seeing the protective shell of everything. It sees the bark, the skin, the metal and the air, all the things rubbing against each other, blocking the momentum of combat. It sees the potential to cure, grow and increase everything around it, and at last, the ways to make the ultimate guard. But as its mind starts to calculate and take notes, the vision dissolves, leaving it wanting more of this, unlimited potential.

: [INTRIGUING. THAT WAS ALMOST TOO MUCH.]

Nikolai hits a snag in his plan about crossing the bridge: It leads nowhere. It simply is supported by NOTHING! What the HECK?!

After pushing the button, something magickal seemed to happen as the Crane Controls in Bowser's hand lit up!

Oh great, another Uniq lifts from the Crane Controls.

: "WOO! I AM ALIVE AGAIN HAIL THE GREAT DATABLOCKS IN THE SKY FOR MY RECREATION! DAMN, IT FEELS GOOD TO EXIST!! HOO-HAH!"

: "Now now, calm down Lift and explain to the heroes what your function is again, okay?"

: "RIGHT ON! I CAN MOVE STU-"

: "CALM DOWN!!!"

: "RIGHT-er I mean, right. I can summon a crane that can go anywhere, which can be used to move heavy stuff around and even change out the crane head for a giant shovel, to dig with. I can also devour dirt and stone with the shovel and through that construct walls by spitting it back out. I could in essence build houses for you. It comes at a prize though!"

: "There, much better. Thank you lift!"

Finally, Queen spends 15 tones to increase Fortitude and Spirit. Unlike before, the bell tolled only once for each of the powerups, but as soon as both was bought, a powerful reaction happened inside of her as the stat screens changed.

Evergod: I just ran with what little I had to work with. Tell more about the character, and I can make better stories for later events. Heck, much of this game's atmosphere comes from the RP'ig and I am simply tying it into the game itself.

"Ding! Is it now possible for me to take Landscaping and Truesight? And does everyone plan to cross this bridge?

"Uniq, are there any knives around I could use to try to fashion something out of these sticks around here?"

: "Indeed it is so! You should have enough Tones right now for most things!"

: "Okay I just gotta say, my real name is Cube. If you haven't realized it, all of us have four letter names that correspond to the machine we fit to. Just wanted to say that. And about the knives, you should be able to find a sharp rock if you look hard enough... Wait, is that a Horror Heart that Cora has in her hands?"

Turn 22, Day 1, ???

Everyone suddenly feels a little sleepy.

Nik and Queen are both replenished by the food they decided to eat. Everyone worked together to get all the Tones into the chest, except for 3 which were the last that Cora could hold.

Seuche tries to contain the Eastern Breeze, but it fills four spots at once and she doesn't have room!

Everyone started to pay up their Tones to get their abilities back:

The bell starts ringing with no end, and bowser is suddenly back in his castle. His minions are standing ready around him, as the daily feast is being prepared and added to the great table set up in the throne hall. He could smell the meat being cooked and prepared, hear the tapping of the shy guy boots and almost feel the magic that the magikoopas created through their exercises. Ah, it truly was good to be king. Just as he started getting used to the throne again, the image stopped, and bowser was back on the flying island.

: "...Aw, damn."

The bells started to get to Cora too, as she learned her skill. She could feel the familiar grass and hear the birds from the woods. She could see her halfling friends, and the animals enjoying her music. Oh, her music! She was playing the harp, a feeling she long thought forgotten to her. As the final note of the song struck, the world around her became the real one again.

"..." *Sigh*

The world around her was nothing but water, and Sadie splashed around in it freely. Fond memories of her past came rushing in like the tide, and the time she spend studying the land dwellers came to her like a silent breeze. She could remember it all, both the good and the bad, of the world at home. Though a new memory had snuck its way in there, just a single image; Aidan, smiling.

: "...Aidan."

It didn't take long for Seuche to be back on her ship, sailing the worlds of space. Just the simple leisure of hearing the crew working around her, the false wind in the solar sail and the cargo full of precious loot. She remembered the battles she had won, some she had lost, but all were enjoyed. The final moment of the dream was of this place, the island, where a new adventure loomed. Aaah, to be free.

"Hehehe!"

The queen was suddenly stricken with fear, as her body started to grow. She could feel her hands growing talons, her back growing feathers and wings, and her face growing a beak. Around her, darkness spread as she became a humanoid hawk, her thirst for blood growing. Beasts began gathering in a circle at her feet, and she easily made them swell up and explode into a horrible series of tumors. She spewed corrupted healing power at the world, making it twist itself into gruesome images and horrible details. Just as she was about to scream, the mirage faded, and Queen came to her senses.

: "I-I..."

Queen, without even thinking about it, fell to her knees and started to cry.

As the spectable happened, Cube the Uniq had drifted over to Cora:

: "Excuse me, Cora? Can I have that Horror Heart? I can unlock what the creatures have stored inside for you!"

: "Everyone! I have gotten the stat screens running now! Go check it out on Cube's interface!"
