To quote myself chatting with Benndak when I saw the first image: "-greatest thing ever-".

>Rich: Regret your short-sighted refusal to talk to Spandexsprite.

You regret nothing.

>Rich: Admire landscape.

The smooth glass stretches as far as the eye can see; it occasionally curves into the gentle forms of hills and valleys. Jagged protrusions of glass frequently erupt from the surface, taking the shape of trees and other such terrain features. It seems reasonable to assume the planet is entirely made of glass. All is dimly lit by the world's perpetual twilight; the surface glistens, the reflections of crimson pillars contorted into captivating, asymmetrical forms.

The Land of Glass and Flame is stunningly beautiful.

>Rich: Poke ogre.

You don't really want to do that.

>Rich: Climb on ogre's head.

You decide this idea is ever-so-slightly less stupid than the previous one, and give it a go.

>MetroidNut: Be appallingly busy most of this weekend.

Expect slightly delayed responses, owing to me being totally occupied for (most) of the next two days.

>Team Aldirk: Chas' laser blasts do light up a large portion of the chamber. If he looks carefully, he might be able to see Greg lurking in the corner. But, it seems that his LASER-FEDORA has slid down over his eyes, possibly blinding him. So, yeah. Maybe sees Greg. I don't know.

Future Dirk is easily able to swipe the SMALL KEY from Chas. Mission accomplished.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Dirk: You light yourself on fire. Ninjas cannot catch you now.

Although you are slightly singed (HEALTH VIAL 85%) the enemies attacking you suffer massive damage. After a few moments of their failing to stop drop and roll, they are finally destroyed. You and Snake Eyes stand victorious! You would totally level up now, if you hadn't already gained that level for destroying that PAINT BUCKET earlier.

The OBELISK stands before you. Standing about 200 feet tall, it is covered in the same mysterious writing that can be found over all the other ruins of the Land. You figure you can probably read it with the MAGNIFYING GLASS.

At the very top, you can see that each of the four sides of the point has a faded picture carved into it. You think you can make out a Spirograph on one of the sides, but the others have been eroded by time and the elements; you're unable to see what they are.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Rich: You successfully manage to climb on top of the OGRE's head. He starts grumbling, and rolls over, knocking you off your perch. Looks like he's starting to wake up; if you don't do something soon you'll lose the element of surprise!

>Greg:Try to dodge lasers

You weave back and forth,dodging lasers left and right.A few hit the walls around you,lighting the area around you up before returning to darkness.

As you dodge,looking for a spot that isn't being lasered or in the process of being lasered,you really hope that Chas hasn't seen you.He has already attcked you once...you would rather not be attacked again.

A laser strikes the DOORFRAME of the ROOM before you can exit.Welp looks like there is only one piece of safe cover right now....

>Greg:Hide behind FutureDirk

You run and hide behind FutureDirk.You apologize to him for using him as cover...but you don't have any other real options for not getting hit with a laser.

>Greg:Read the memo Chas posted

....You...I...what?...What the hell was that?That was his "big" speech?That was...that was....bad...No...more like...terrible...That was a terrible speech.

You find yourself at a complete lose for words.Your mouth opens..but words fail to come.

Chas has definitely gone bat shit crazy.And you feel the sudden need to beat him with a DICTIONARY...or in this case your WORDSMITH'S BEST FRIEND since that is what you made your DICTIONARY into..

You just sit and rub your temple before standing up.Ok...you need to get stronger so you can slap some sense into Chas...and you won't get anyway just standing around.

You ask FutureDirk for the KEY he swiped from Chas...You also ask him to go after Chas and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid...or get himself killed.

He may have attacked you...but you still hope that your friendship can be salvaged.

>Rich: Panic.

NO. You can still salvage this situation, even if your attempt to ride the OGRE was a spectacular failure! You still have one trick up your sleeve. You think you can still dispatch this vile fiend before he can rise to confront you!

>Rich: Place HEADPHONES on the ears of your foe.

You do so, and crank your volume up to 100%.

>Rich: BLOW HIS MIND with the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&ob=av3e

If it doesn't kill him, maybe it'll at least force him into submission. In fact, you're really hoping for that second outcome now.

>Chas: Your KIND OF CRAZY SPEECH can be heard across the Medium, causing underlings and consorts alike to pause in their daily lives and listen to you. They really have absolutely no idea what's going on.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Greg: ....You...I...what? indeed. ....You...I...what? indeed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Rich: The OGRE explodes. And then explodes again. Also, your .mp3 of that particular track becomes incredibly corrupted, and can never be played again. Because of that disk of incredibly dangerous computer viruses you installed about 30 pages ago. And you all thought I had forgotten about that.

You also gain another level! Level 8 Never-Gonna-Give-You-Up Kid. +30,000 Boondollars.

PSCHOOOOO

You really like this jetpack! You begin surveying the Land of Glass and Flame, in search of anything interesting. A settlement, perhaps? Maybe a temple! Or a race of sentient starships waiting out in dark space.

>Xavier: Notice the hole above you
Yup, that's a fucking hole.

>Xavier: Fly through the hole
One does not fly through holes willy-nilly! He must first asses the situation.

>Xavier: Assess the situation
Well...That's most definitely a whole, that's for sure. But, WHY! WHY WOULD THERE BE A WHOLE HERE!? If this IS a Cloud Dungeon for Parrots, then why would it have wholes in the ceiling FOR Parrots!? The little gremlins can't fly, that's for sure...

>Wait
Your in the Sky level of the game and the boss, i.e. the DENIZEN, will most likely FLY and BE AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE DUNGEON.

Of course! How could be BLIND! This isn't merely a hole to ascend to another floor! This a taunt! As if he was saying,

"boy.
top of the dungeon. now.
bring c-diddy.
where doing it man
where MAKING THIS HAPEN


(You image your DENIZEN not only knows how to write but uses red ink when making references to webcomics he shouldn't know about.)

Well, you won't stand for that shit! Why, if that was in note form, you'd crush the note in hand, captcha everything in the room, throw C-Diddy over your shoulder, and ASCEND!

Sadly, you there's not much to captcha here. So you just throw C-Diddy over your shoulder and...

>Xavier: Fly up, A.K.A >Xavier: Ascend to the top of the dungeon, A.K.A Xavier Figured This Fucking Game Out

>Greg:Watch Chas give FutureDirk hug

Umm ok.You do that.Considering you still need that KEY and all.Of course..now you can't ask for the KEY directly,what with Chas being here and all.

You ask FutureDirk to give you the item you asked for earlier and tell him that you have alot to do.Mostly,and you look at Chas as you say this with a completely straight face,which is a miracle unto itself as doing so just fills you with the urge to laugh,you say that you have plans to...well plan and things to do,people to chat with..important world shattering stuff.Stuff that a hero would believe important.

Also you say,just to see if Chas is listening,that sporks suck as eating utensils.

>Rich: Reapers fall, everyone dies.

You spot a particularly bright spot a few miles away from your current location. It's hard to tell, but there might be some glass buildings over that-a-way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Chas: You envelope Future Dirk is a legendary BRO-HUG. It's quite awesome.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Xavier: With C-Diddy slung over your shoulder, you fly through the hole in the ceiling... and collide with the ceiling of the room directly above you. Ouch.

This room, like the last one, is also populated by a small group of IMPS. In addition, a door has apparently been built into the room's sole exit (Facing SOUTH, by the way.)

>Rich: Fly over to the distant village/town/city.

You light up the night.

>Rich: Check pesterchum on the way.

Totally disregarding the danger inherent in texting while flying, you narrowly avoid impaling yourself on a glass tree; more importantly, you read Chas's leaderly memo. The speech was pretty good, you think. Obviously ripped off, of course. You're fully aware that Chas was simply quoting Bruce Springsteen. But that doesn't make it a bad speech.

Unfortunately, it was completely off-topic! It does not inspire you to join together as the ultimate subordinate in paradox space's greatest team of Sburb players! You don't even know what paradox space is! Instead, it creates within you a spark of something else. A spark of...

Democracy.

>Future Dirk: Be amazed by Chas' memo sometime previous to Greg's interruption

Oh wow. Just... wow. This may be the WORST SPEECH YOU HAVE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE. You think you are actually more DEMOTIVATED than when you began to read it. And after what you've been through, it takes a LOT of effort to make you more DEMOTIVATED.

You must fix this. You must write a BETTER SPEECH.

CSS RIGHT NOW opened memo on board CONKSUCK WAFFLEPALOOZA.
CSS: OK so to everyone listening out there, this is Dirk.
CSS: Except, not.
CSS: I am him from the future.
CSS: Now in the present.
CSS: Confusing, I know.
CSS: The reason I'm here is to address the last memo.
CSS: The one Chas made.
CSS: No Xavier, you can't skip it. Sit the fuck down and pay attention.
CSS: Chas is my best bro, which is why I have the full authority to say that his speech was the worst.
CSS: Ever.
CSS: Of all time.
CSS: But he is still our leader.
CSS: Our prideful, boastful, thick-headed, possibly suicidally overconfident leader.
CSS: And that is where we come in.
CSS: This game is a test; it's a test of skill.
CSS: It asks you the question "Are you strong enough?" It asks "Are you smart enough?"
CSS: And you are to respond "Yes, I am!" and show this game what determination really fucking means.
CSS: But there's more to it than that
CSS: This game is a test of heart.
CSS: More than your own strength, more than your knowledge, even more than the fire of your own soul burning bright, this game challenges you to go beyond your limits.
CSS: Our limit? Teamwork.
CSS: Chas is too goddamn stubborn to listen to a word anyone says, and we're too stubborn to do a goddamn thing he says.
CSS: The game knows that, and we'll pay for it if we don't come together as a team; a family, even.
CSS: I can't tell you everything, but in the future some terrible things are coming our way, and if you want us all to come out of it alive you'll have to break through those limitations.
CSS: Kick them to the curb and become a better, stronger you. A greater us.
FUTURE sesquipedalianScholar [FSS] 62:12 HOURS FROM NOW responded to memo.
FSS: Aw, damn...
FSS: I get one chance at a heroic speech;
FSS: and I fuck it up.
FSS: Oh well, can't be as fucking amazing as I am and expect no repercussions.
FSS ceased responding to memo.
CSS: That was... ominous. And yet not surprising at all, given the circumstances. On that note, goodbye, I guess; everybody try... not dying.
CSS ceased responding to memo.

You kind of wonder, now, if CHAS is going to become extremely MAD about what just--OHSHITHUG

>Future Dirk: Be hugged

-- snickeringSurrogate [SS] began pestering sesquipedalianScholar [SS] at 19:14 --
-- sesquipedalianScholar
SS: dirk! i appreciate your plans!
SS: Ibuhwhahuh
SS: i was given strict orders by an alien to hug and appreciate you.
SS: because you are hurting on the inside.
SS: and i am your past best bro.
SS: Uh
SS: Thanks.
SS: OK.
SS: You can stop now.
SS: nah, nah, that's cool.
SS: let's just keep this going for a second.
SS: ok, i'm good now.
SS: so did you read that sweet-ass speech i gave?
SS: Um... yeah, I did.
SS: let me guess - sweet as ass, right?
SS: Yeah, definitely sweet as ass.
SS: oh, man, i needed that. letage said it was adorable, which i guess is sort of a compliment but i never really got any 'epic speech, brother' stuff out of this whole situation.
SS: and greg is just being kind of a douche anyway, so!
SS: Right.
SS: We should probably get on focus here, which is why I am going to swerve the subject a little here and ask what Letage wanted.
SS: huh? no, she was just dropping in to say hello.
SS: FROM THE FUTURE
SS: And that was it? Absolutely nothing cryptic, or helpful, or speed-moding through the game?
SS: well, she said that you were hurting on the inside and that i should appreciate you.
SS: and she had this big secret that she wouldn't tell me!

SS: i don't know why these trolls are so obsessed with future me, i think they're still shocked that i blow up derse.
SS: You blow up Derse?
SS: well yeah! they've been pointing to this big shocking thing that happens in the future for ages.
SS: the doomed timelines must be where i do not blow up derse.
SS: They specifically said you blow up Derse?
SS: no.
SS: but it's a logical conclusion.
SS: Fucking unbelievable. I can't believe you were the one who took the moral fucking highground when I wanted to blow up Derse,
SS: But apparently you go and do it yourself and take all the damn credit!
SS: Kill-stealing fucktard.
SS: w-woah.
SS: dirk.
SS: chill.
SS: Chill? I am already chill.
SS: Cool as goddamned ice.
SS: dude this is not the time for ice puns! clearly you were hurting inside.
SS: letage has some damn good intuition.
SS: maybe i need to write another speech.
SS: No, no, that's fine. Really.
SS: If you blow up Derse, though, let me know.
SS: Past me, that is.
SS: I'll probably be dead by then.
SS: oh, come on, like i was honestly gonna blow up derse witho-aww
SS: Don't worry about it.
SS: well, i mean, at the time i was totally secretly in cahoots with letage, and now i'm publicly in cahoots with letage. so.
SS: I get to fuck up Derse in my own way.
SS: i mean past me was pretty dumb, right?
SS: Past everyone was pretty dumb.
SS: let's not keep grudges over what past me did.
SS: Right.
SS: and i mean past future you is pretty cool, right?
SS: ...what's the deal with that, by the way?
SS: is he coming back or anything?
SS: Which me??
SS: past future you. like, future past you.
SS: So, Future Alpha Me?
SS: Yes.
SS: What do you mean coming back?
SS: like, being present dirk again.
SS: He's not gone.
SS: He's just back in his world.
SS: My world, too, I guess.
SS: so wait. just how far in the future are you from then?
SS: Several days.
SS: oh shit.
SS: this is confusing!
SS: Yeah, pretty confusing, but I think we're getting off topic here.
SS: Tell me.
SS: How much do you know about the god tiers?
SS: jack diddly shit to be honest.
SS: But you know OF them?
SS: yep!
SS: the trolls drop hints.
SS: All right then, in that case I can tell you that it's a pretty big deal.
SS: We're going to need you to get there quick.
SS: But to do THAT, we'll need to be grinding.
SS: Grinding levels like there is no fucking tomorrow.
SS: Because in a sense there isn't.
SS: i..see.
SS: that's pretty foreboding.
SS: Only extremely.
SS: Come on, we need to get moving and find shit to kill.
SS: ok so basically i'm destined to be the best god tier player ever right?
SS: just tell me that much.
SS: All I will say is that Alpha me is already digging to find out about the god tiers.
SS: oh shit! let's beat him!
SS: It's not gonna be easy, I'm him, and I know that I will go after the god tiers at record speed.
SS: Think you're up for it?
SS: i'm up for it all the goddamn time.
SS: Then let's go.
SS: let's go, right now, let's go get me doing lighty things and kicking ass!
SS: yeah!
SS: woo!

You try your best to shut up GREG once he shows up, but you begin to realize you're working with a BANDY OF MERRY IDIOTS, so you just slip him the KEY without CHAS noticing and wait to let them work out their problems.

>Greg:Aquire Key

You get the KEY from FutureDirk,making sure that Chas can't see it.You bow to FutureDirk,thanking him and telling him you hope to run into him again later.When you look at Chas you give him the best scowl you can do,which you fail at doing because you are you,and give him the two finger point to the eyes before racing off.

You race back to the STAIRWELL,or the ROPE LADDER now,and climb up.You head back through the NORTH corridor and you stop long enough to tell the IMPS in the corner to behave again.

[03:12:43] GK: And it would seem that an agent of Derse by the name of Jack Noir wishes to ally with Prospit to take out the Black Queen
[03:13:02] EC: \/ ugh
[03:13:37] GK: I'm guessing that Jack stabbed you in the back...literally...as well?
[03:13:43] EC: \/ multiple times
[03:13:57] EC: \/ fortunately by that time his stabs were not much worth showing
[03:14:04] GK: Sounds fun...not
[03:14:40] EC: \/ eh he was a nuisance for most of my session
[03:14:52] GK: I see
[03:15:09] GK: But if Illire is right and his hate for the Black Queen is strong enough...would he be a possible ally?
[03:16:23] EC: \/ hed know how to take her down at least
[03:16:50] GK: Thats better then nothing I guess
[03:17:20] EC: \/ but the queen is not your biggest problem
[03:17:27] EC: \/ the king is your target
[03:17:34] GK: The Black King?
[03:17:39] EC: \/ yes
[03:17:49] GK: What can you tell me about him?
[03:18:14] EC: \/ hes been prototyped with your sprites so hes powerful
[03:18:36] EC: \/ and uh
[03:18:41] GK: Great..just what we don't need
[03:18:44] EC: \/ well he is the endboss of the game
[03:19:03] GK: I see...so we beat him,we win?
[03:19:08] GK: and get to go home?
[03:19:39] EC: \/ no
[03:19:52] EC: \/ you beat him and you get your ultimate reward
[03:20:07] GK: Blah...what is this Ultimate Reward?
[03:20:14] EC: \/ i dont know
[03:20:20] GK: Oh
[03:20:38] EC: \/ at this point we were interrupted
[03:20:52] GK: Interrupted?By what?
[03:21:03] GK: If that isn't too much to ask
[03:21:24] EC: \/ i dont exactly know what it was
[03:21:58] GK: Hmm I see
[03:22:04] EC: \/ id call it a demon but it didnt look like a horrorterror
[03:22:45] GK: Illire said something about he couldn't deal with Horrorterrors...what are they?
[03:23:01] GK: Are they something we will have to fight later?
[03:23:12] EC: \/ oh no
[03:23:18] EC: \/ you had better hope not
[03:23:34] GK: Well that just seems...ominous
[03:24:12] EC: \/ they are the beings that surround your sessions and populate paradox space
[03:24:28] GK: Are they good or bad?
[03:25:03] EC: \/ things are never just good or bad
[03:25:14] EC: \/ get your head out of a storybook greg
[03:25:49] GK: I would like to point out that everything that had happened to us seems like something right out of a storybook
[03:26:25] EC: \/ forgive me for being harsh
[03:26:29] EC: \/ but a friend of you died
[03:26:39] EC: \/ that seems pretty harsh
[03:27:18] GK: I know...and I'm still sad..but nothing will change the fact she is dead...and like it or not our options are press on..or or don't
[03:27:36] EC: \/ i know this
[03:27:46] EC: \/ but it does underline the gravity of your situation
[03:28:27] GK: I would like to see her murderer brought to justice...but I won't let innocents killed for vengenance
[03:29:24] EC: \/ innocents?
[03:29:54] GK: I think Chas and Dirk want to destroy Derse...all of Derse....
[03:30:15] GK: I can't be sure...but that is my theory right now...and I don't like it
[03:30:48] EC: \/ direct them to the battlefield
[03:30:52] EC: \/ to the black king
[03:31:25] GK: I would try..but Chas doesn't listen to me anymore..and the time previous to our last talk..he attacked me..
[03:34:00] GK: I would like to see us all safe from all of this...Dirk,Chas,Xavier,Rich,Connor,the people of Propsit and the innocents of Derse and yes,even you and Illire...but I don't know how...
[03:34:57] GK: I guess....I feel like I have failed somewhere...and now I'm boring you with my problems...and I'm sorry...I'll just stop talking now if you want
[03:35:07] EC: \/ i uh
[03:35:15] EC: \/ i guess i could listen
[03:35:21] EC: \/ though having a moirail now
[03:35:31] EC: \/ i do not know if i am in an position to do so
[03:36:24] GK: I don't know much about your Quadrants..only what Illire told me...but it would be more as two friends then anything else...but again I don't want to bore you with my problems
[03:36:42] EC: \/ alright
[03:36:43] EC: \/ talk to me
[03:36:59] GK: If you wish..
[03:37:24] GK: I guess I just feel...useless..about all of this
[03:38:19] GK: So much is expected of a Knight...but I wonder if I'm...worthy..of it all
[03:38:41] GK: Not just a Knight...but a Hero as well...
[03:39:26] GK: And I guess I'm afraid of what will happen to my friends...
[03:40:09] GK: We were all close,or as close as we could be,before coming her...and now....we just seem to have drifted apart somewhat..
[03:40:26] EC: \/ id like to say that its hard because you are growing up, and this is never easy
[03:40:40] EC: \/ but i have gathered that these situations are not part of you growing up
[03:40:57] GK: I guess not
[03:41:10] EC: \/ so this is you trying to cope with a lot of things
[03:41:21] EC: \/ and its alright to be struggling with that
[03:41:57] GK: Is it really?What if someone gets hurt because of all these doubts?
[03:42:33] EC: \/ it is not your duty to safeguard all of your teammates
[03:42:39] EC: \/ they need to take care of themselves
[03:42:44] EC: \/ they need to grow up themselves
[03:42:59] GK: ..I guess..
[03:43:50] EC: \/ did your lusus always keep you from getting hurt
[03:44:04] GK: lusus?
[03:44:30] EC: \/ caretaker
[03:46:13] GK: Oh...well my Mother was there for me sometimes.She always encouraged me to solved problems by myself...but always to remember to ask for help if I got in over my head...
[03:48:06] GK: To not be afraid of fear as we are all scared.We all have doubts and...hmm...Have I forgotten so much...?
