You nod to the Queen.You disagree on the Hero part,but you decide to keep that to yourself.
You remember to forewarn the Queen that one of the Princes of Prospit,Chas being his name,is a little power crazed right now and may not be in his right state of mind when he gets here.You tell her it would be wise to take his words with a grain of salt if he starts acting a bit..much.You tell her that you have also left a note with Rich,the third Prince,to seek out the Queen when he awakes.
You also ask the Queen if she knows where LS is.You figure you might as well visit him and see how he is doing.Its the least you can do since you nearly got the poor guy killed.
>STABTECH LVL 24: X MARKS THE SPOT
Mustering all the VIM and VIGOR, you rush toward the WYVERN, TCM-D and STARLIGHT SHIV armed, and deliver GASH in his armor in a X-form.
But, what's this? You flip your knives and deliver ANOTHER SLASH to his armor IN THE SAME FORM!?
You, young man, are truly a DELIVERYMAN OF SLASH, like if UPS had a fucking KILLING SERVICE, you'd be Grade-A #1 Employee of the Month, 6 years running, and you had only worked there for like 3 days. Just pullin' up in your pimp out delivery truck, bitches following in tow, you knock on a motherfuckers' door, he opens and says, "Uh, I didn't order any stabs today.", and you'd be like "Oh, well shit, there might've been a mix up at the office.", and STAB THAT ************ ANYWAY. Bitches swooning from the blood spillage, begging you to be there baby daddy, you'd be like "Fuck that shit!", and jump into your aforementioned pimped out truck and ride off into the fucking sunset!
>Rich: As you LIFDOFF, you find yourself wracked with regret over not getting a Consort-companion. I mean, it would have been so awesome, so easy. Just had to make friends with one of them, and convince them to come on adventures with you. How hard would that have been?
As you jetpack down the road, slowly filling up with depression, you note a pair of robotic legs sticking out from under a rock-slide. Of glass rocks. Yep, there's totally such a thing.
>Greg: Apparently LS is currently in the Prospitian Library, one of the world's best-known features. A guide comes along to show you to the building, assuming of course that you want to walk. Flying is always an option; the building is fairly easy to find and recognize.
>Xavier: Your blades slice through the armor, releasing a dramatic spray of emerald blood as you cut through the WYVERN's flesh.
However, you suddenly find yourself punched in the face as you deliver the second set of blows. Apparently your enemy has recovered. Spreading its wings, the WYVERN begins flying around the ceiling of the chamber, about 10 feet above you. Its fists begin charging more electricity...
Well,he is already here and it would be rude to turn him away now.You bow to the White Queen,telling her that you wait until the next time your paths cross,then follow behind the guide.Sure,you could have flown,but you like to see Prospit from the ground as well.
>Xavier: Strategies Let's see, flying, electric charges, he's close to the ceiling, boots? No, that'd cause a cave-in most likely harming me and C-Diddy. Knife throw? Yeah, sounds good, exposed flesh. I'll get some space between use first.
>Xavier: Get some space
You backstep to the door, and throw the TCM-D at the WYERN'S exposed flesh.
You decide that, for the moment, CHAS is fine handling things on his own. You duck around a corner to message ALPHA-YOU to see what he is up to--oh. It appears he is currently NOT EXISTANT AT THIS TIME. Finding this odd, you decide to TIME TRAVEL back a few hours and check on him then. You open up your PESTERCHUM to find, to your surprise, two STABSSALESMEN. Before you can contact him, one of them contacts you.
-- stabsSalesman [SS] began pestering sesquipedalianScholar [SS] at 22:29 -- SS: =]=> Oh hey, there you are. SS: =]=> I was wondering when I would be able to contact you. SS: I've been wondering just the same thing. SS: That's why I came back in time to contact you. SS: Just what the hell have you been up to? SS: =]=> I traveled back to the moment I entered the Medium. SS: =]=> Got some fucking awesome questing done. SS: =]=> I raided a castle full of Dersites with some iguanas held as prisoners. SS: I don't remember there being a castle. SS: =]=> Exactly, right? You get so much more shit done when you abuse time like no tomorrow. SS: So what went down in this castle? SS: =]=> Well, it went down like this: I tried to get in the front way, but there was this giant bull-looking thing guarding it.
SS: =]=> I tried to fight it once, but it kicked my ass. Hard. SS: =]=> So then I tried being stealthy, right? I ended up using my Keyblade to open a hidden passage in the back of the castle, and came out right in the dining hall.
SS: =]=> It was full of just regular imps and ogres, so it took me maybe a minute to clear the room.
SS: =]=> From there I went ahead and stormed up from the insides of the castle to the ramparts, where this big guy was waiting for me. SS: =]=> I can't even fucking describe him right. SS: =]=> He was all inky black, nothing new for being a Dersite, right? SS: =]=> He had four eyes, two of which were red, and a billowing red scarf over his crazy armor. SS: =]=> I saw a bunch of other shit too, but I didn't recognize most of it. I think it came from other people's prototyping. SS: Right, right, no need to ramble. Go on. SS: =]=> Right. Well, long story short, it kicks me to the fucking curb.
SS: =]=> Destroys my cape, too! SS: WHAT. SS: =]=> Rotten dirty bastard... SS: Tell me where he is and I will annihilate him! SS: =]=> Don't worry about it. See, right when I was backed up to a corner, guess who came and saved my ass.
SS: Aw fuck. SS: =]=> Yeah.
SS: So did she beat it? SS: =]=> Not exactly. She crippled it, but she made me finish it off. SS: =]=> Said she didn't want to do my job for me entirely. SS: Oh? Then what? SS: =]=> Well, he had a key on him to go down into the dungeon, where all the iguanas were. SS: =]=> So Sis and I went down into the place, and found the prisoners and released them.
SS: =]=> We talked to their leader for a while; he was a scholar on the history of the world, I guess.
SS: What did he know? SS: =]=> As it happens, his specialty was on the god tiers. SS: Was it now? And just what did he say to you about them? SS: =]=> He told me they were the level beyond the highest level, and that to get to them I have to use a quest bed. SS: =]=> As it happened, Sis knew where mine was, and took me there. I'm actually at it right now. SS: =]=> But I wasn't high enough level to use it yet, I guess. SS: =]=> She says that I need to get to max level before I can use it. SS: So why not just go back in time again and keep grinding? SS: =]=> She dared me not to. SS: =]=> She said that was the easy way out, and if I was worth the title I'd been given I would get the rest of the levels the hard way. SS: So you're taking her up on it then? Bad move if you ask me, kid. SS: =]=> Hey, I'm no fucking kid! SS: =]=> At this point we're about even in age. SS: =]=> But yeah I'm going to do it. I'll never be better than her unless I can do this. SS: Still trying to one-up her, huh? I remember being like that. SS: Tell you what, I can help you out with this hsit. SS: You get back to questing, and leveling, and when the time comes, I'll help you hit the god tiers. How does that sound? SS: =]=> Like the bro-est thing a bro could ever fucking do. SS: Great. Then I'll take care of it. So I need to talk to you later, OK? I've got to get a hold of a guy. SS: =]=> All right me, we'll talk later. Oh, and, how is Chas doing? SS: He's Chas. But he's safe for now, I promise. SS: =]=> All right, good. Keep him that way. Bye. SS: Bye. -- sesquipedalianScholar [SS] ceased pestering stabsSalesman [SS] at 23:13 --
>Future Dirk: Decide what to do
Well, this might be BAD. By the sound of it, ALPHA-YOU isn't half as filled in as he thinks on the GOD TIERS. That's going to lead to mistakes later on. The same mistakes you made. Lucky for you, you have a PLAN. You start waving your arms, the letters "UA" formed by your hands.
>Dirk: Think of where to go.
You decide you should head back to the IGUANA VILLAGE to spend your new-found RICHES.
>Rich: After digging for a few minutes, you unearth a rather battered CLOCKWORK CROCODILE. His metallic body is covered with scars and dents, and his eyes are strangely askew. He also appears to have forgotten how to speak. He does, however, begin hugging you, and makes several happy sounding noises.
>Greg: Your guide leads you out of the Palace, and walks through the brightly shining streets of Prospit. As you move about, you're struck by just how beautiful this place is; everything is clean and shiny, the people all get along, there are a lot of statues of frogs everywhere, the sky is clear... it's just awesome.
Eventually, you make it to the Prospitian Library, a massive building. Stepping inside, you are greeted by ranks upon ranks of bookshelves, each easily a hundred yards tall. You could read here for the rest of your life, and barely make a dent in all these books.
However, the guide cautions you from venturing into the maze of shelves; apparently its quite easy to get lost in here. He scurries off to go find LS, leaving you near the information desk.
> Xavier: Your blade almost connects with the WYVERN, but it manages to knock the TCM-D aside at the last second. In retaliation, it hurls a bolt of lightning towards you, striking you in the chest.
Although you feel the pain of electricity ripping through your body, you seem to be in strangely good shape. Your still able to move perfectly fine, and don't appear to be stunned at all.
>Chas: Instead of sleuthing out the door, Ace hijacks your jetpack and begins soaring around the chamber, shouting out happily as he does so. You get the impression that this isn't advancing your journey somehow.
When I introduced this guy, he was just a GECKO in distress. You turned him into a minor character obsessed with flight. Way to go.
>Dirk: You make your way back to the CAMP, and check out the BAZAAR. It's still got all of its old stock, but has apparently added a few more items as well.
OCTET OF BLADES. TIME AND SPACE. 10 BOONBUCKS.
SERENADE OF LIFE. TIME AND LIFE. 10 BOONBUCKS.
HYMN OF FORESIGHT. TIME AND MIND. 10 BOONBUCKS.
GALLIARD SLASH. TIME AND HOPE. 10 BOONBUCKS.
You do as the guide asks and wait patiently information desk.
You have to admit,you find this place very alluring.For a book worm such as yourself this place is like a dream come true.You would love nothing more then to explore this place more.And you very much doubt you would get lost here.You have been in libraries before,so you know your way around them.Of course you won't as you would be rather embarrassed if you did get lost.But who knows what knowledge this place holds?What secrets these books contain?However,you have other things to focus on right now.
If the Queen does go through with Jack's plan to the letter,you only have 18 hours until shit hits the fan.Not a lot of time.You have a strange feeling you won't be getting alot of sleep within the next 24 hours.
And you still have things to plan.And plans to implement.And you still need to think of a way to deal with the whole War problem.Considering you have been told three times that Prospit winning is a bad thing you would rather make sure that didn't happen.Which really doesn't sit well with you.
But you're a Knight.Sometimes you have to do lesser evils for the betterment of others.
You shake your head and continue to wait patiently.
Oh. You want more exposition? After last time I was so rudely cut off? I don't think you deserve more exposition. While the shennanigans of the trolls are quite entertaining, one would assume these are priviliges to be earned.
Fine. Have your stinking exposition.

Well, that was certainly depressing, in an EXISTENTIAL sort of way. As much as you would love to sit around and mope, people are depending on you right now. Whether they know it or not. You make your way back to YOU and ALPHA-DIRK's LAND to try and find your SIS.
>Rich: In an alternate timeline, Sheriff Quickdraw and yourself would have rode off into the sunset, having all kinds of wacky adventures and causing shenanigans. It would have been awesome.
And, I kind of don't feel like crushing your hopes and dreams on Thanksgiving. So, yeah. He goes with you.
>Greg: "A prince must not worry about the reproach of cruelty when it is a matter of keeping his subjects united and loyal." Machiavelli, Scribe of Void and the fourteenth Son of Skaia.
After waiting for a few minutes, the guide emerges from the maze of shelves, LS following close behind him. As they approach you LS begins nervously bowing towards you, thanking you again for loaning him the books.
And yes, that is in fact an actual quote from Machiavelli. The Prince is a horrible read, by the way.
>GM: Fondly observe the plot development. Let's see here: Troll backstory, some more great art, and a possibility of Lord English becoming the final-final boss. Yep, things are looking good.
>Dirk: You get all the FRAYMOTIFS. You are the best Hero.
After wandering around for a bit, you come across a large encampment of UNDERLINGS. A huge number of IMPS, dozens of OGRES and BASILISKS, and even a trio of GICLOPSES. In addition, there's an even larger beast in the middle of the camp, a giant creature with a mouth full of fangs, two beady eyes, and a massive pair of arms that almost scrape the ground with their length. According to some sources, (MSPA wiki), it may be called an OCCULOSSI.
>Future Dirk: You head outside of the castle, and head to the nearby SALAMANDER outpost. There, you find the Land's Third Gate.
Now, if you remember the chain correctly, you can use this to get to Rich's Land, use that Gate to get to Xavier's (Since Beth kind of, you know, died.), use that Gate to get to Connor's Land, use that Gate to get to Chas', and then use that to get to your Land.
Or, maybe you have some awesome item that'll let you just fly there.
Alright, stats for the various companions. Since everyone's getting one these days.
Dash: Currently Mayor of a GECKO village on the Land of Sun and Stainless Steel. May or may not be raising an army of Consorts and Underlings to fight under Chas' glorious leadership. Combat rating: 800
Ace: The completely crazy GECKO with a heart of gold and the ability to fly anything capable of flight. And the tendency to hijack any such device as soon as he lays eyes upon it. Combat rating: 20
Snake Eyes: Basilisk and Dirk's current form of fast travel. Wears armor that allows him to perform various anime-based attacks (Turning into a motorcycle, anti-tank gun, etc.) Combat rating: 9001
C-Diddy: A PARROT whose defining character trait has yet to be decided upon by his owner. Is able to quickly recover from being *****-slapped. Can also fly. Combat Rating: 50
Perrywinkle: Not really a Consort/Underling, but whatever. Greg's Mom's pet cat. May or may not be a ninja as well. Is currently hanging out at Greg's house. Combat rating: ?
Quickdraw: Basically the Iron Giant in CROCODILE form. Also, his body cannot turn into a giant gun. He does, however, have Rich's gun equipped, so he can deal decent damage. Combat Rating: 1000
