[Strato]

Hmm, I see. Well, like i said, spectating.

[Radium]

<b>Answering your ORIGINAL question, Inf, Glitching is a group skill, operated by L33tz and Uber. It's existence also enables a limited telepathic link between them.</b>

[Radium]

<b>You're acting like Xion. It's a thought thing, an abstract form of magic. What is an adjective that describes the pool? What about one describing the chains?

Fawriel has lost consiousness.</b>

[Radium]

<b>Let's review: Uberbob, Araches, and Fawriel have gotten trapped in a rabid pool that prevents all magic. Enchanted chains installed in the pool have trapped them, and L33tz4n came to save them and got chained too. Fawriel and Araches are unconsious. Uberbob and l33tz4n have dicovered a skill called "glitching", but are unsure how it operates.</b>

[Xion]

I'm guessing that glitching = Phasing...

If L33tz4n and Uberbob can phase out and through the chains, they can then grasp their unconcious allies and phase them out too to save them.

[Radium]

I'm guessing that glitching = Phasing...
<b>You are so dead wrong I reccomend you read my last two posts over and over again until they're infused eternally in your brain and you will know the answer.
</b>

[Xion]

Also, instead of "Magic" that you speak of, Xion and Gradient (Xion's a robot so getting hit by a spaceship shouldn't be so bad for him...just needs to be rebuilt and/or transfered into a new shell.) know of another form of magic, one that enchants their weapons.

Let me explain.

A weapon in Xion's posession, Delsaber's Buster, has a special attack known as "Tempest" which creates a Zonde (Electric Based) attack without the use of magic.

Gradient, however, is a FOrce type, so he relies on Techniques, or in this case, "Magic" cast from the mind.

Perhaps an idea for you, Radium? (If not, PM me and I'll give you the specifics of my idea. XD)

[Xion]

I read them, reread them, and rerererererererererererererererererererererererere rererererererererererererererererererererereread them.

All I know is that Uberbob and L33tz4n know a non-technique based skill that can be used like the chai...

...Is this some funky (stuff) like in the matrix? :lol:

...screw them.

Control: Gradient

[Radium]

Perhaps an idea for you, Radium? (If not, PM me and I'll give you the specifics of my idea. XD)
<b>Who said spells like haste could only target people? Those would be great on a dart or sword.

Gradient is dead. I don't care what you think, he's dead now. If I make you control him I'll just kill him.

"Matrix Like"... close, but no cigar.</b>

[Xion]

<b>Who said spells like haste could only target people? Those would be great on a dart or sword.</b>
*cough* Attack based magic, radifoo. ATTACK based.


I've already got stuff that can increase speed and prevent statuses (actually one, and that's required for a certain weapon of Xion's.)

And the best way for Gradient to die is from a dead-on blast from Da Ra Lie that knocks him off the platform into the underground tunnel's water so Da Ra Lie and De Rol Le can have their way with him.

(cute) if that dosn't work then here comes a new quest.

[Violet CLM]

Oh, come on. You've said it stops _spell casting_ before.
Even if we assume it stops magic in general, what you're saying is it can only stop magic if the source of the magic is aware of rabidity's actions, in which case any time someone tried to cast a spell in the rabid pool because they didn't read enough of the topic, their very not knowing they couldn't would mean they could. But they couldn't. Why?

[Radium]

drag the party out of the pool<b> I was afraid someone'd miss that step. You drag your party out of the pool and give mouth-to-mouth CPR to Araches. After a while, she comes back and slaps you for kissing her. But you feel as though it's in a good way.</b>

<b>It DOES stop spellcasting. It just also stops all magic.

Glitching doesn't work by not knowing something exists, It works by knowing something DOESN'T exist.

Actually, since you'll just CyberCafe it anyway, I'll just explain glitching right here by the pool. Glitching works by finding conflicting laws of logic, physics, or knowledge to "glitch" the universe. Running off the theory if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, it does not make a sound, glitching is when multiple laws in the universe conflict to the point that they abort or compraimise. I like it, it takes heavy thinking like magic SHOULD.

And Xion... no.

Go to Orb/Crystal room.
Swap Orb for Crystal.
Go to Gate.
Look around through Orb.

(Is it still raining outside, by the way?)

[Strato]

We are talking rad, trying to figure out the puzzle.

[Violet CLM]

I have yet to see Radium deny that you can't see illusions when looking through the orb, so I'm close-mindedly sticking to that theory.

[Radium]

<b>Evil post editor, those commands weren't there ten minutes ago.

Anyway, you wake up L33tz4n (who is oddly seeming to become more of a peer to you than anyone else in your party), Shake Fawriel until he enters a state that is somewhere between wake and sleep, and (kindly as possible) awake Araches, though I totally miss the point in that. When you're all awake and Fawriel catches a runaway trout for breakfast, you go back to the cave and switch the orb and crystal. Looking through the orb only seems to display white outlines of your party and the orb/crystal room, though you think you see a few gremlins scramble away. Your party is currently in the Crystal/Orb room with full HP and MP. Where to now?</b>

[Violet CLM]

(Interesting... it shows invisible things...)


Take _Orb_, not _Crystal_.
_Go to Gate_.
_Now_ look through _Orb_.

[Strato]

Look at the basket ball with the orb and crystal
Save btw

[Fawriel]

Go outside and look inside the donut-isle and through the clouds, still looking for an answer.
The Gremlins believe you're the messia who's looking for the question to 42 and are now at your service.

Yay!

[Radium]

The Gremlins believe you're the messia who's looking for the question to 42 and are now at your service. Yay!
<b>Er.. No.

You walk up to the gate and look though the orb. Strangely, the gate has no outline.</b>

[Fawriel]

I walk through the gate?

Erm..

Summary of all locations, especially that of the gate.

[Radium]

<b>Summary: The Trading post is on the south east side of the island. Pandora's pool is near (but not in) the center, east side of the volcano. Fort Strato is on the south coast. Snufuss Lair is on a subisland in the middle. The caves are on the west coast. The caves start out with a 3-way path. Left one leads to the orb room and save point, middle one to the gate, and right on to the CyberCafe. /Summary.

You approach the gate and step through it. Your party sees blood running down the gate's spines as it mauls your body. L33tz4n screams... erm, yeah, so does Araches (just less). Of course, you pass through the barrier unharmed. On the other side the tunnel continues on, not to mention you find the ten Noberries and rock you threw into the gate.

Invintory:
-Wings
-Thirductnotescraptstrudelire
-57 Noberries
-Dagger
-Snufuss Coat
-Pandora's Shoe
-Pandora's Can
-Basketball
-Orb
-Chaos Cord
-Rock</b>

[Fawriel]

Funfunfun!
Explore the place we're in now.

[Radium]

<b>Convincing the rest of your party that you're not dead and comforting them from this traumatic experience would be advised. Fawriel ran out of oxygen from screaming like a girl and fainted.</b>

[Fawriel]

Use : glitching

Faw is now okay.
Comfort the rest of the party.

[Radium]

Use : glitching

Comfort the rest of the party.
<b>Too general of commands again. And I already explained glitching is not a "use glitching", "poof glitching happens" kind of skill.</b>

[Fawriel]

But Faw would NEVER... ah, whatever.

Let L33tz4n give Faw mouth-to-mouth after she was calmed down by telling her the story of the happy little Baby Snufuss that got lost in a forest, but a big, friendly processor appeared and brought it back home, and everyone was happy, and they ate marshmallows... uhm.. yes.

You try to use Araches apathetic state of mind to kiss her, which ends up in her slapping you and being perfectly normal again.

[Radium]

You try to use Araches apathetic state of mind to kiss her, which ends up in her slapping you and being perfectly normal again.<b>Wow you're good.

Your party has been revived. Continuing down the path, you come to another gate. Nothing special about this one, just an ordinary iron gate. Some mean person filled in the keyhole with wax, probably from a candle they were carrying.</b>

[Fawriel]

Poke the wax with the Thirductnotescraptstrudelire

Pound the door and listen to what it sounds like just for the heckovit

[Radium]

<b>The Thirductnotescraptstrudelire can not destroy the wax. However you do pound on the door. It makes an interesting sound, like when you pound on a metal door.</b>

[Fawriel]

Wax, eh...

Try to remember if anyone can use fire-based magic or if there's anything that can make fire in the inventory.

If not, there've gotta be some torches in these caverns... how else should they have found their way in there?

[Radium]

If not, there've gotta be some torches in these caverns... how else should they have found their way in there?<b>You learned your way around pretty well before the flashlight died. And the Minions (super)glued some of the glowing gems to the walls in places.

[Fawriel]

Analyze : Chaos Chord
Analyze : baseball

[Radium]

<b>The Chaos Cord appears to be a normal rope. 'Course, you're sure you'll discover all it's terrible secrets all too fast while trying to scale a mountain or something.

The basketball is a standard orange ball with black lines. If I could remember the name of a basketball making company, it would say it across the ball. But I can't remember.

The light from the gems is soft and heatless. it comes out as a sort of rainbow mix of colors, primarily white.

The sky blue orb evidently shows what is real, nothing more and nothing less. Like the old codes in video games that displayed the mask so you could see where invisible platforms or secret passages were. You look through the orb and see the white outlines of your party, the cave, and the gate.</b>

[Fawriel]

You rapidly scratch the rock against the Thirdnotescrapstrudelire and try to put the baseball on fire.

[Strato]

*Sigh* It's worth a shot. Hold up the crystal to the gem and focus the beam on the wax lock.
If that dosn't work try it with the orb and basketball.

[Xion]

This is easy.

Feed L33tz4n, Araches, and Faw a noberry each, and see what happens.

If anybody becomes incredibly hot and/or fire-based, make them use their 10 minutes melting the wax in the hole.

If anybody begins to phase through things, make them phase through the gate to see what is on the other side for 6 minutes, then using the last 4 minutes to rejoin their party.

If none of these work, use the DAGGER to cut the wax.


Also, glitch Faw, since Faw cannot be both green and healthy. XD (pwned!)

[Fawriel]

Dagger won't work since "It couldn't even cut a shoe lace".

Noberries are SORT of random, dontcha think?

And I'm as healthy as veggies. Healthy veggies. With some disease, but that doesn't count.

EDIT: Oh, yeah.
Ask L33tz4n if the Snufuss can breathe fire. *wiggles eyebrows*

[Xion]

Are you thinking about feeding L33tz4n another Traftonberry-snufuss skin combo?

...! What would happen if you ate a traftonberry and a noberry? O.O

[Fawriel]

Nice thought.. :D

[Xion]

I mentioned this topic in my latest LJ post, can be seen here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/xeltoth/8233.html).

[Violet CLM]

Well, the party doesn't have any more Trafton Berries, as far as I can tell, and the trading post doesn't have them anymore, so Fawriel would have to go pick some.
I would assume a Traftonberry and a Noberry would turn you into a Noberry bush. Either that or some sort of magical flight creature, or whatever that paticular Noberry's effects are.


Tie Chaos Cord around Basketball.
Lean back, holding Chaos Cord.
Fling Chaos Cord (and Basketball) at Gate.

[Radium]

<b>You really don't think the glowing gems would be significant light to start a fire, and you <i>know</i> the basketball isn't flammable. They stopped making them flammable after that event in 2214.

Of course, eating Noberries is always fun. You distribute them among your party and note the random effects. L33tz4n loses her voice, Araches turns into an anime ChibiFox, Fawriel turns into a non-anime-mutated creature, and your leg turns into a bottle. None of this is really helpful.

As a last (for now) resort, you tie the basketball to the Chaos Cord. You fling the end with the basketball towards the door and it hits you in the face.</b>

[Strato]

So, our flashlight is destroied?

[Radium]

<b>Unfunctional. Though any usable part was destroyed when you smashed it onto the Thirductnotescraptstrudelire.</b>

[Fawriel]

So the Snufuss can't breathe fire?

Hmm....

[Radium]

<b>Tell me, why does it matter? There are no more Traftonberries available.</b>

[Fawriel]

We could always send me out to pick some..

[Radium]

<b>You allready found them all.

Bored, Fawirel tries to hold his finger on the wax to melt it. Evidently, the standard mammal body temperature can not melt wax (killed that idea before you came up with it). L33tx4n tries it also before remembering she's a reptile.</b>

I find a tree on the island, and break two sticks off to create a makeshift arm and hand. I then break off two more sticks to create a makeshift leg. was a command.

You're now like a cyborg except made mostly of wood. implies that this all worked. And nothing is said about the tree being destroyed in the process.

But...

Spinach Custard, aka Pandora's Island, is an island. Interestingly, it contains no trees but tall non-boyant plants, making escape difficult.


Explanation? I'm not quite sure I'll believe that the storm destroyed that tree and it was the only one, or that it destroyed every tree on the island.

Go talk to 1337z4n. (after pancakes) <b>I'm glad we have our priorities straight.
