In the last thread, the being known in some circles as Existence, and in most as God, experienced many things he's never experienced before. Pain, powerlessness, and maybe even a smidge of appreciation for what he's created. But now it's time for a new chapter in God's story.
On Greeth, tensions are high in the South, as soldiers with The Republic of Love and Hate have begun moving in and establishing colonies of already claimed land, not only stealing land from its current owners but cutting off trade routes for the southern nation of Nifoslok.
With God hearing the word of the blue living moon also known as "The Priest" having alleged plans to overtake him, the first divine military base has been established on the surface of the living moon, with Archangel Malke at the head.
Finally, with the word "conquer" entering the vocabulary of the Arikian termite people, the future of the planet of Arika as a whole is at this moment, an ominous mystery.

You awaken in your newly established divine Greethian sea tower after a day of rest. You wonder what you'll get up to on this day. You suppose the only way to find out is to actually begin the day.
What will you do?

You check the time. Seems it's 6:30 in the morning. You've awoken very early today.
You look out the window, watching the sun begin to rise over the little Fishpire community you built your tower across from. You wonder when they're finally gonna get curious enough to sail over and see what your tower really is. You also think about inviting over The Legion of Wizards and Witches, but for now, you'll save that for later.

"Hehehehe... I'm just tickled pink, Father, I really am. The first few shots of the war have been fired. An older civilian Nifoslokian woman living in a small shoreside town called Horktha started giving lip to a group of soldiers who were drinking in a bar. One of these soldiers, a young man who goes by Private Jorge, shot her in the head after she started putting her hands on him. That resulted in a full-on shootout between the LHR military and the local authorities... It's starting, Father, it's really starting. Lots of civilians got caught in the crossfire too. They've started calling it 'The Horktha Massacre', and people are PISSED at Private Jorge..."

You teleport all the gods in your family, including The Adversary, into your domain. You announce the competition and ask who'd like to participate. All the ones who want to participate stay. You get left with eight people.
You decide the way it will work is that the participants will be split up into two groups, The Northerners, and The Southerners. Everyone in the northern group will be assigned a champion from the North, and the southern group will all be assigned someone from the South.
The main goal overall is for your champion to be the last one standing by the time the war is over, but helping each other to get ahead is also encouraged.
The rules are: you cannot directly kill another person's champion, and you are not allowed to bring anyone who dies in the war back to life.
It is your job to assign each person a champion. You were originally going to let them all choose, but they are all too dumb and indecisive.
The groups are:
>Northerners
Wife
Music
Love
God

>Southerners
Life
Nothing
Peace
The Adversary

Peace also has an additional person he's rooting for with David, but you've decided that's not a part of the competition.
It's now time to start choosing and assigning. Who will you assign first? You will have to assign each one by one, as you will also have to choose the type of person to assign to them.

>Life

>Wife: An Mpire fanatic or part of a rebel cell, a chance to start a proper resistance movement to take back the ancient fast food joint
>Life: Somebody with great potential in important events, basically somebody Life would find interesting at the forefront of everything
Music: The best singer in all the northern lands, annointed with Music's blessing over song
>The Adversary: An anonymous soldier, simply fighting for his own nation
>Peace: An horticulturist, brought to study herbs for warfare purposes
>Love: A catperson who secretly loves a mothperson from the southern continent.

It won't take that long, I assume, though I could be wrong. Let me check your shit then.

Yeah that's all good choices, fitting for each. Part of me wants to assign a fishperson to one of them - maybe Adversary because of how much he likes fishing? There'd be some funny irony there. Also the idea hit me that with Nothing's pick being a mage, they might be given Xemnas powers or something

Both of them liked the Mpire so I think it fits better, though the rich and powerful crucifixion fetishist would certainly appeal to Blue.

We should have two more kids sometime. Time and Space would be a great addition to the roster. Maybe we could alter Wife to give them those aspects instead, though. It sounds like Wife doesn't have much to do.

On a different note, we should consider using our godly power to create a potion that optimizes and repairs memory pathways. It might take thousands of years, but I see no reason not to administer it to the Priest. We have nothing but time. Could also use it on ourself, if we wanted to...
>>
>>5871915
I don't think she really needs aspects, because she's second only to us and her powers are pretty much only limited by what we allow her to do. Meaning she pretty much has the same powers we do.
>>
>>5871922
True, she doesn't really need alterations to use them. But she definitely does need some kind of cosmic role beyond just being a housewife.
>>
>>5871924
Well, we did try in the first thread to get her to do stuff by literally telling her she can do what she wants but she kind of just lacks initiative. Really I think she just spends her days either supervising the kids or painting
>>
>>5871925
Yeah. The lack of initiative is why I reckon we should outright tell her to do something specific instead of just saying "ayy you know you can do something right?".
Maybe not Time or Space specifically, but, you know. Something beyond just existing and being a mom.
I know she already has the Light domain (or at least an association with it), but nothing really gets done with that. I can't exactly think of anything fun or interesting to do with it either, outside of making photon-based lifeforms. Or maybe new and exotic forms of radiation.
I'm just spitballing here, trying to get some ideas sorted out. Sorry if it seems unorganized or poorly thought out.
>>
>>5871929
You have a point, maybe we should encourage her to have more of an active cosmic role. Light is a good place to start I think.
>>
I think we need to add some mortals to the pantheon. Having only family as god currently feels a little incestuous, and prevents any godly romance.

Maybe we can give out demi-godliness or godliness to certain mortals that prove themselves in this conflict.
>>
>>5871924
Why? She seems happy.

>>5871915
Maybe we could set the wizards towards unraveling it?

You assign Nothing to a woman named Kira, who is a very talented mage living in The Holy Fish Empire. She also has a past of being admitted to mental hospitals, and can generally be unstable.
Well, now it's time to assign a mortal to yourself... You're on the Northern team, so it has to be someone living in the North.

You decide you're champion will be a schizophrenic homeless man and petty thief named Nelson. He sits in an alleyway, leaning up against a dumpster, while the corpse of a moth person lies in front of him. You see, Nelson here has a history of violent crimes, in fact, he's committed so many violent crimes that if he wasn't mentally ill and so given leeway in court, he would have been executed or imprisoned years ago.
The moth person who lies dead near Nelson is with The Peace Warriors and was about to put up flyers in order to get people to join their cause. Nelson doesn't like The Peace Warriors, as he believes they threaten the republic that The Love Empire and Hate Empire fought to form. He also thinks The Peace Warriors are lizard people, but that's not currently important.
Nelson yells into the air. "You damn lizard fucks! Tryin' to tear down this beautiful country... You're... You're..." Nelson sighs. "I'm thirsty..."
This is pretty bad for you, as if the authorities find Nelson he will definitely be arrested, and if The Peace Warriors find Nelson they will almost definitely kill him.
What will you do?

Nelson climbs up onto the rooftops. For a schizophrenic alcoholic 47-year-old homeless man he's actually pretty spry.
Once he gets on the roof you notice some Peace Warrior members walking into the alley. They notice the lizard's corpse and the flyers. They seem mad about their flyers, but they seem to have no idea that one of their members has been killed. They simply continue on with their day.
Nelson wonders where he should go...

Nelson lives in a small community known as Yumtown. It's within LHR jurisdiction, and due to it being somewhat close to the city that holds the presidential building, it has a large Peace Warrior presence.
Before Nelson can make a plan on how he can help with the war and stop the lizard people (and win you the competition), he needs to find a way out of town.
He can head to the direction of the church, which is where a close friend of Nelson's lives. Well... his only friend. He also could hop the rooftops.
There are many things he can do...

Nelson enters the church.
The priest and owner of the church, Father David, speaks as soon as the door opens.
"We're clo-" He cuts himself off when he sees who comes through the door. "Oh... Hi, Dad. If you've come to check for lizards I can assure you there's none here..."
Nelson walks up to David and begins yelling. "Well, there's no way you can know that now son! A war is starting! The lizards are coming! And God wants me to stop them!" Nelson yells. "I bet this is all partly because you didn't listen to me or your mother and joined the army! Now look at ya! You're all soft, sittin' in this... Lizard haven!"
David sighs. "Dad... if you've just come to yell at me and talk about lizards I'm afraid I don't really have the time..."

You make it so a huge lizard creature breaks through the wall and begins to attack both Nelson and David.
"WOAH! WHAT THE FUCK?" David screams, running into a corner.
A portal to the astral plane opens, and dropping out of it comes a blunderbuss that falls into Nelson's hands.
Nelson does a sick flip and shoots the lizard creature with all the precision of a highly-trained sniper.
"Worry not, son! I will kill all of these Lizards!"
David is distraught. "W-W-What the fuck, Dad?!"
"Hush, boy! Let me have this victory!"

Nelson, with the help of you, decides that his plan of action is to cross the ocean and head to Horktha, which is where all the current combat is going on. He also decides to force David to come along with him, so Nelson can use David's talent for preaching to gather a group to help Nelson in his goal. You also place a "cosmic alert" on Nelson, so that anytime anything noticeable happens you will know.

"He's just a kid!" Commander Relson yells. "He didn't know what he was doing!"

The soldier pointing the gun at Private Jorge cocks his gun, very clearly threatening to pull the trigger.
"Don't do it!" Relson yells. "He didn't know what he was doing."
The Nifoslokian solider looks at Private Jorge. "How old are you, boy?" He asks.
"N-Nineteen, sir..." Private Jorge responds, clearly terrified.
The soldier laughs. "That's old enough to know better. This murderer has to die."
Relson yells louder this time. "NO! If you just let him go, we can stop all the violence. This doesn't have to turn into something bigger than this. We can prevent this war!"
The two Nifoslokian soldiers look at each other, and then back to Relson.
"Okay," One of them begins. "If you want Private Jorge here to live, get out of our country."
"What?" Relson asks.
"Go to your president and come back. If you can show in writing that he promises he'll move his men out of this country, then Private Jorge here will live."
Seems this soldier is trying to use Jorge to force The LHR out of Nifoslok... A bold move for two very clearly low-ranking soldiers.

You make a huge tower rise from the water, Relson, and the Nifoslokian soldiers. You then cut the bindings on Private Jorge's wrists, setting him free. Private Jorge knocks out the soldier behind him. Relson shoots the other soldier before he can do anything.
Jorge runs to Commander Relson.
"Commander! Oh, God, thank you-"
Relson slaps Private Jorge across the face. "Quiet, Private! Do you know how many deaths you've caused with your itchy trigger finger?" Relson asks, clearly very angry.
"I... I'm sorry Commander... it was a stupid mistake..."
"As stupid mistake? It was more than..." Commander Relson sighs. "C'mon, Private. Let's get the fuck out of here."
Private Jorge and Commander Relson run off, hoping to regroup with the rest of The LHR military.
You then decide to check on Love's champion, Hank, or Corporal Hank as he's more commonly known.
Seems Hank is in a pretty shitty situation. Combat in the middle of Horthka inadvertently made The Horthka Dynamite Factory blow up, killing and maiming tens, or even hundreds of soldiers on both sides of the battle.
Seems Hank managed to survive, but certainly not unscathed.

You make it begin to rain for a few minutes, putting out all the fire. It seems all the fighting just... stops for a good 30 seconds, as people take a moment to watch the rain. It's the kind of moment you don't often get in times like this.

Well... the war technically hasn't become an official "war" yet, as no actual declarations of war have been made.
The dark red on the map represents how far the combat has spread. The combat has spread slightly outside of Horthka due mostly to the efforts of Sera and Sarah.
In terms of deaths, so far there have been 176 LHR deaths, 201 Nifoslokian solider deaths, and 1005 civilian deaths. Most of the civilian deaths were a result of the Horthka Dynamite Factory blowing up.

You create a pair of goggles. These goggles make it so that everything you see you perceive as being much more friendly, colorful, and loving. It's like alcohol, but your liver isn't at risk.
You also decide to watch Dayklo for a bit. He lies in that same position, not moving at all. Even when a corpse falls down next to him, he does not move even in the slightest. Strong will on this one.

You make the LHR soldier that was shot near Dayklo rise up, and come back to life as a non-infectious zombie.
You intend for the zombie to just walk by Dayklo, but it looks down at him... and begins talking.
"Hey, man. What's up? Seems you're in a bit of a spot there."
Dayklo is terrified, but he isn't gonna risk blowing his cover, so he simply stares up at the creature, hoping it won't attack.
"My name is... oh, shit I can't remember my name. Oh well. Need some help there?"
Dayklo finally gains the courage to speak.
"S... Sure."
The zombie seems pleased.
"Alright, I'll make sure no one sees you, and you can slip out of town. Sound good?"
Dayklo nods, before standing up and running away. As Dayklo runs away, the zombie dances around, making sure all attention is on him.
None of the soldiers really know what to do, so they kind of just... watch.
What a helpful zombie! You wonder if he was as helpful as this before his death.

You check on Kelik next. It seems Kelik alone was actually the one responsible for The Dynamite Factory exploding. Kelik has been wanting The LHR out of his town for some time now, and so with the newly-sparked battle, he's decided to commit a bloody act of defiance.
He exploded The Dynamite Factory knowing there were many LHR stationed within and outside of it, and is now standing in the rubble and killing any LHR soldier who dares to venture into the rubble to find their injured friends.
This is all quite violent, really. But war is often like that, believe it or not.

>Love: Hank, a medic with a forbidden international romance. Catman from the North. Love is having trouble looking at the horrors of war around him.

>God/Existence: Nelson, David’s schizophrenic, murderous, alcoholic father who can now turn anyone he kills into lizards to retroactively justify his killings and ‘prove’ he’s not crazy. From the North, catman.

>Life: Dayklo, a mothman from the South. Hedonist, druggie, bit of a coward maybe.

>Nothing: Kira, a mentally-unstable mage-woman from the Holy Fish Empire, in the South.

>Peace: Gerome, a peaceful Southern merchant of medicinal herbs (weed, I gather).

You think about turning Kelik's gun into a banana, but after the experience you had in Red Space you're kind of over bananas for the time being.
You decide to look for the person who obtained Peter's powers after you passed them on to someone else. You're a bit confused when you find out that that person is... this guy. You find him in The Magic and Science Magical Science For Magical Scientists building, or the MSMS for short. The MSMS is a subsidiary of The Legion of Wizards and Witches and focuses on attempting to use magic to further science. It seems they've been somewhat successful, as some of the technology within this building are things you've yet to see other beings create. Nothing crazily advanced, but it seems they've managed to find a way to use metals as an efficient resource for building, have created pump systems powered by magic, and have even created various experimental fluids that do... stuff, you guess.
Seems the only downside is that The MSMS seems to be using... live subjects for their experiments.
Seems this guy was captured by The MSMS because of the magical power you gave him. Seems they are attempting to figure out a way to gain this power for themselves, possibly to help them manipulate other people. Damn.

Seems this guy's name is Rover, or at least that's the only name you've managed to dig up. He was a relatively well-known composer and performer in The Holy Kingdom, using his God-given power to get into high-end gigs and to get his name out there.
He caught the attention of The MSMS after a member of The Legion of Wizards and Witches attended one of his shows, and felt a very strong magical aura coming off him.
A few months later he was captured by The MSMS while on a trip to The LHR.
You analyze his condition. Seems he's in pretty much constant pain due to various things. His wrists and ankles are bound by metal rings, but going through said metal rings are nails going through his wrists.
Into his lungs, brain, and heart a fluid known as the UEF is constantly being pumped. The UEF for "The Unidentified Experimental Fluid" is a substance accidentally created by the MSMS in an experiment gone wrong. This however proved to be useful, as the UEF is now involved in pretty much all MSMS experiments.
The UEF is a sort of "magical acid", meaning it dissolves and destroys layers of magical power. The UEF is being pumped into Rover in an attempt to reach the core of his power, but it's proven to be very difficult, as his powers seem to very strong and somewhat different from that of regular mortal magic users. They don't know this, but this is most likely because his powers were given to him by the literal god of the universe they live in.

"HE'S FREE!" One of them screams. "IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, I DON'T THINK HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE FREE!"
"YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT!" Another MSMS member yells. "GET HIM!"
As they go to tackle Rover, you break all the UEF pumps in the room, flooding the room with the substance.

But soon, all the UEF is soaked up. Rover is alive, but... where have all the MSMS members gone? Rover gets up and looks behind him, only to be met with the sight of a terrifying, slimy, disgusting, fleshy abomination.
All the MSMS members in the room were magic users, so as the UEF soaked into them they began to melt. But since they were all in the room together, they all melted... well... together.
It doesn't look like this abomination can actually hurt Rover, but it's certainly gross to look at.

(I saw this as I came to post this, and yes, I am alright.
Really sorry for the absence! Got VERY caught up with New Year's this year. Happy New Year, by the way, anons!
The last few days have been very weird and largely kind of a blur. The story of Versequest is of course gonna be continuing very soon, hopefully today or tomorrow, but first I'd like to share the story of how that last little while has been going...
I woke up at 7 pm on New Year's because I went to bed very very late the night before.
There were already a few guests and family members in my house when I woke up, and there was food and drinks out for everyone to enjoy. Alcoholic drinks.
I am no alcoholic. I don't drink often. I usually only drink a few times a year. But because of this, I always make the mistake of treating alcohol as if it's just any other beverage. Downing several glasses in a row relatively quickly.
So, very soon, I was very drunk.
After that, I think I talked with people on Discord, and played guitar, before deciding to go to sleep.
I woke up at some unknown time and date feeling worse than I had ever felt. After checking Discord and... maybe??? talking with people, I went BACK to sleep.
I then got stuck in a cycle of waking up, falling asleep, and waking up, and falling asleep. I also kept having dreams about me being in prison for some reason.
Then I woke up today-ish, and proceeded to arise from my bed, half-conscious and unkempt, and play The Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask for like 11 hours.
And now we are here, and I have finally remembered after all that that I have a quest to run.
Once again, I apologize anons! Updates will start sometime soon! And very sorry for the super long post lol. Happy New Year! As an apology, take this drawing of Isabelle from Animal Crossing that I may have drawn during this drunken haze. Or maybe I didn't? I don't really remember.)

(Hello, anons! I planned to do updates today, but I woke up at 12 am today, so I am very tired. I might feel better after a few cups of coffee, but if not I'll hopefully get to updating tomorrow. I feel a bit bad for not updating for such long periods of time, but if I forced myself while tired it'd be nowhere near as fun, and lesser in quality. Either way, I'll keep you anons updated!

You summon a glass jar and tell Rover to scoop up some of the UEF into it. You go through the normal motions you experience when someone realizes God is talking to them, y'know, the "Are you God?" and "Why are you talking to me?" before Rover finally reluctantly does what you ask.
You then teleport the abomination into Chaos' domain. Chaos, now in the form of a blue man thing for some reason, seems very pleased. He transforms the abomination into a fleshy sea of writhing screaming meat in constant indescribable agony. You begin to wonder if you've raised your children right because this is very very gross and very very fucked up.

You laugh at the suffering abomination. Everyone within it is pretty evil, so it's at least somewhat deserved.
You ask Wife how Chaos was in his formative years.
"Very quiet, and not very helpful. Spent most of his time alone. Didn't speak. Really was just how he is now. I tried to get him to join in with activities and work, but he just never did."
As you look down on the abomination, you begin to wonder... What would happen if you through the abomination into The White Inferno? With the abomination's already painful existence this could be the perfect time to study what suffering can do to living beings without pesky "morals" and "sympathy" and "guilt" getting in the way. You really wish you didn't have any of those things, but you suppose you can't help it.
So, do you try the experiment? There really isn't any immediate risk to doing it, but the last time you used The White Inferno things didn't go very well... It's certainly a gamble.

You encourage Chaos to experiment and come up with creative fates for the abomination.
Chaos decides that their physical body will remain the way it is, a fleshy writhing mound of pure and raw agony. But the self they hold within will experience a very different fate.
Chaos goes through each person within the abomination, putting each person in a group depending on how grave he thinks their crimes were, and how much he likes them.
The first group is "The Walkers". Chaos breaks the mind of each person in this group into fragments, each fragment being a person in its own right. They are placed in a metaphysical maze, in which each fragment will wander until all the fragments eventually find each other and reform. Chaos strips all emotion and feeling from the fragments, all feelings but the feeling of longing to feel something. Once they reform they gain the privilege of finally experiencing the pain their physical self is going through, finally getting the relief of feeling something. Chaos calls this group "the lucky ones".

>>5882206
The next group are the ones who suffer the second highest amount in Chaos' mind.
These people are forced to experience what it's like to be Chaos. They will never be themselves, and they will never be anyone else. They will never love, and they will never hate.
The side of them that loves their family will be killed by another them that hates their family, and the them that hates their family will be swallowed and destroyed by a version of them that hates people that hate families, and that one will be destroyed by one that hates people who hate people who hate families, and then that one will be destroyed by a version of them that feels neutral about their family, and then that one will live a long beautiful life before being killed by a version of them that feels nothing for anything, and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on.
And then for one beautiful moment, they will be who they want to be. And then they will stop wanting to be that way, and the cycle will continue on again.
They will want to be a tree, and they will want to be a flower, and they will want to be an animal. They will want to be a star exploding into a magnificent light, blasting the surrounding planets to plasma just to create well-intentioned space dust that will one day form a universe somewhere very far away.
They will be chaos. Sounds pretty lame if you ask me but to each their own.

And finally, the group Chaos believes suffers the most.
These people are placed in an empty metaphysical space. They are not fragmented, and they are not tortured. The only catch is that the only other thing within this space is a metaphysical copy of Chaos, that will be their only friend for the rest of time.
Seems Chaos believes the worst fate a being could experience, is having to talk to him.

You decide you need to find out what's wrong with Chaos. You've never really tried to make the effort to understand him, so you suppose it's about time.
You tune your hearing so the sounds of static and animalistic screeching he usually emits can be heard by you as words.
Seems Chaos is constantly belting out a loud pained garble of vowels, with a few audible words mixed in. Most of what he says comes out in what can only be described as crazed mumbly screaming. You're sure there's a better way to describe it, but you suppose that describes it well enough.
You can't make out what he says too well, but it's something about "true universal balance" and "finalizing the spirit".
You tell Chaos that you can hear him, and ask him if he'd like to talk to Retis. Chaos immediately turns red, and his rambling becomes more frantic and anxious.
Seems the very thought of someone making an effort to understand him gives him indescribable anxiety.

You give him stability for a moment and ask him what he needs.
He seems to struggle to speak for a moment, before beginning to yell.
"WHAT THE UNIVERSE NEEDS!

It's loud and frantic and doesn't make much sense, but at least he's saying words now. You aren't sure if he's being literally, or speaking in code, but it's certainly chaotic. Red and blue. Two opposites. This is what he needs? Doesn't make much sense to you. However, the way he speaks seems to imply he is trying to communicate something.

>You ask her why people have blue and red souls like her.
"Everyone does. Blue and red are our colors. The universe is binary. One and zero, red and blue, light and dark, dead and alive... it's how it's always been.
The red part contains all the negative parts of the soul. Hatred, anger, sadness, arrogance, etc. While the blue part contains all the positive parts of the soul. Happiness, joy, righteousness, creativity, etc. Whichever part is stronger affects the holder of the soul. So obviously Kritla leaned more to the red side than the blue side"
I think we either need to make more kids with wife, to get a god(or goddess in this case) of order, or check out if Chaos' soul is messed up.

You call Wife, Peace, and Nothing into the room.
You ask Wife what you might be able to do about this.
"Um... I'm not really sure. To be honest I had no idea he felt this way. I thought he was just a weird kid." Wife seems to feel somewhat guilty.
Peace chimes in. "Well, like, maybe the only way to fix him is to like, understand him, bro. We need to like, look into his mind or some shit."
Nothing thinks for a moment, before speaking. "I think Seraphim Retis was working on something that might help. Peace, we should go talk to her."
"Shit, alright."
Peace and Nothing leave to go talk to Retis. You begin to wonder what it could be that Chaos needs. Then it hits you, balance! You try to balance his soul and mind in the best way you can using your super magic God powers.
After you do this, Chaos takes on a new form, a humanoid red creature wearing some kind of mask.
"OH GOD! PLEASE KILL ME! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD- OR... DAD... OR... WHATEVER!" You move slightly closer to him. "AH! WAIT, ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME? NO NO NO NO, DON'T KILL ME! I DON'T WANNA DIE! LIFE IS GREAT!"

You ask him to describe what he's experiencing.
"EXPERIENCE? EXPERIENCE? IT'S ALWAYS THIS WAY FOR ME!"
You ask him what happened to his blue half.
"IT'S THERE! IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE! NO MATTER HOW LITTLE IT EFFECTS ME, IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE!"
You tell him to come with you, and that you're taking him to Retis. He reluctantly follows behind, Wife coming as well.
As you walk into Retis' office, you see Nothing and Peace are still talking to her. She very soon notices you though, giving you her full attention.
"Oh, Mr. God! You're just in time!" Retis says. "I heard about your little problem with Chaos, and this has given me the perfect opportunity to test out this new invention I made! Because I... uh... invent things now... because I don't usually have much else to do."
Retis takes out a pair of goggles. They look pretty inconspicuous, so you aren't sure what she's getting at.
"These are the Super Cool Magic Goggles That Let You See What It's Like To Experience The World Through The Perspective Of Other People, Just In Case You Ever Wanted To Do That Goggles 9000! It's a bit of a working title, but I still think it's catchy in its own right!"
Retis looks off to the side. "I was thinking, maybe being able to see the world through Chaos' mind might be able to help you understand how to help him more. And you can also use it to try to understand your other children as well! And you'll also be helping me out by being my test sub... QUALITY ASSURANCE... GUY... Yeah..."

You decide to test the goggles on one of your thrones before trying them yourself. The throne sits down on a chair, puts on the goggles, and begins flipping through different perspectives and states of mind.
After a good hour, he takes off the goggles. You ask him what he learned. He shrugs and walks away.
Well, it probably won't kill you, anyway. Though, then again, thrones don't have souls.

You sit down and put on the goggles. Not before telling someone to go talk to Snakewife, of course.
As soon as the goggles are turned on, your mind begins to feel hazy. You feel as if you're floating...
Well, I guess now you have to pick whose perspective you want to see through.
Your main goal is to understand Chaos, but considering his mental state that might not be a good idea right off the bat.
Who will you pick?

You decide you'll choose Wife. You begin to focus... and everything... beings... to go... white...

...
...
...

Your name is Wife. Or, well, your name is "Light" actually, but "Wife" is what your husband calls you, so that's your name.
Your dumb husband is trying out some goggles made by the tower's angelic therapist Seraphim Retis. You aren't really sure why he's indulging her, or how this is really gonna help Chaos, but you put your trust in your husband anyway despite your better judgment. He can be an idiot sometimes, but you love the guy. He's lucky you love him because if you didn't he'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble.
You are currently sitting, waiting, watching. Doing what you normally do. You mostly just sit around and wait for people to ask for your help, though you do occasionally paint sometimes.
What now?

Well we just have to see, but I feel that if it was the programming she'd be much more head over heels. She's way too stable and reasonable for that.

>>5885136
Maybe it's because we secretly dislike ourselves due to our dark backstory, and subconsciously designed her as a check-and-balance

You decide to check on your family a bit before doing anything else. They all seem fine, save for Chaos, doing their usual thing. Your dumb husband is still participating in Retis' experiment.
One of your favorite children is Hate, as you feel he gets a bit of a bad rap, and you feel a bit bad for him. But you also admire how independent he seems. You wonder if you will ever be that way, but you also wonder if you ever want to be.
You like Love too, but Blue likes him a little more than Red does. He's too passive for Red.
There's of course your darling Music, Nothing who you respect quite a bit, Life and Death... you have a lot of children.
You wonder if you should talk to your OTHER son, The Adversary. Sometimes Blue feels bad for neglecting him, but Red can't shake the idea that he's some kind of fuck up. Maybe there's something wrong with you. Well, you already know that's true...

For mortals we could maybe use the goggles on Nelson and Rover, since they're important to our current thing, and maybe understanding them better will give us a better shot in the war? Timmy, since we comitted ourselves into fixing him, and Fidor and Kritla, just to see what's it like in Paradise.
Another idea is to take off the goggles and give them to someone else, so they can see life through *our* perspective.

Your name is Music. You find yourself standing in your room, not really doing anything. This is something you do quite often, as many a day you don't really see much of a reason to go outside and attempt (and fail) to talk to people.
Apparently, your father is participating in some kind of experiment. You're a bit worried, as the last time your father "experimented" with something he ended up losing his eye. You don't really get why people do the things they do, especially if those things are potentially risky.

You begin to think about the incident. The day that you were a witness to one of the most terrifying things you've ever seen. Ever since then, you haven't wanted too much to do with mortals. You don't dislike them, you're just very wary of them. They don't make sense. They're bombastic and unpredictable. You don't like that.
You think about going to see your family, but maybe now isn't really a good time, especially with all the stuff going on with Chaos. You doubt you could be much of a help.
Maybe you'll write a song. About Nothing maybe.

Remember the punishment he wanted to inflict on that Kronenbergian wizard-amalgam? The punishment that was essentially a combination of perpetual ego death and awareness of your own impermanence?

YOU SEARCH WITHIN YOURSELF to find the (GRAVE) of your fallen counterparts.

BURIED by the flames of time (long) ago was KING (H)ELL
the creator of a (DARK) realm in which (THE DEPRAVITIES OF OUR WORLD) may live. KING HELL would gather up THE SOULS of those who would cause harm to the world in the future, and (TURN THEIR SOULS INTO) decorations for his world of (CHAOS).
THE LOSS OF THEIR CHILDREN MADE MANY MOTHER'S CRY, BUT THIS PREVENTED THE CRIES OF MILLIONS OF FUTURE MOTHERS. the VAGRANT SCUM who would BEAT DOWN on those who are called vagrant scum, and yet DESERVE much more than they do. serial KILLERS, THEIVES, TERRORISTS, ALL REMOVED FROM THE WORLD. in an effort to make a terrible place just (a bit more tolerable). KING HELL did not feel for these future scum. KING HELL did this all SECRETIVELY so that his CREATOR would not force him to cease his actions.

after


king hells (death) therewas THE FAMILY MAN. THE FAMILY MAN CEASED ALL ACTION KING HELL WAS DOING AS TO NOT ACCIDENTALLY ANGER HIS CREATOR. he FOUND a WIFE and had CHILDREN (as his Father always wanted). HE LOVED his family, BUT NEVER felt free. he wanted to fly, but WAS BEING HELD DOWN by his OBEDIENCE and RESPONSIBILITIES. but BUT FAMILY MAN was good. he was wholly good. besides the fact he STOOD AROUND and allowed TERRIBLE THINGS to happen to mortals, unlike KING HELL.

AFTER king hell, was the SUFFERING ONE. this one has not yet had a chance, as HE has NOT been AROUND for very long. HE WANTS FAMILY MAN BACK but is ALSO TERRIFIED OF FACING DEATH.

you begin to VIOLENTALLY AND ORALLY DISPOSE OF WASTE DUE TO NASAUEA
A BEING OF PURE STRENGTH carries a WHITE and PURPLE light in front of you. THIS LIGHT BRINGS BACK the family man AND (KING) hell.
seems this light plans on FIXING you. HE IS MISTAKEN, HOWEVER.
due to the nature of your existence, only one version of YOU can exist at a time. this triexistence is only temporary. someone will have to choose. the infinite swapping of masks can be stopped, and one version can remain permanently, but there still must be a choice.

could this be the ticket to stopping the suffering?
"PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" the suffering one screams. for once in his life louder than the screaming in his head. "PLEASE! PLEASE! I CHANGE MY MIND! I DON'T WANNA DIE! I WANNA GO TO THERAPY! I WANNA LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE! I WANNA LEARN TO LOVE MY FAMILY LIKE FAMILY MAN!"
"I want to see my family again!" THE FAMILY MAN EXCLAIMS. "Please, Father... Choose me! They aren't HIS family! They're mine!"
King Hell looks at the purple light. "Not choosing me would be a terrible choice." He says. "I'm the only one who makes a difference."

only once can live for the suffering to stop.

the purple light asks KING HELL what he means when he (SPEAKS) his (WORDS).
"Think about it logically. Family Man has already served his purpose. He's had the children. Those children will have children. You don't need him. His work is done. And The Suffering One hasn't done anything but whine, scream, and force you to drag him to therapy and go digging around in his mind."

THE PURPLE LIGHT ASKS if it could split each personality into separate beings. this is not possible, sort of. each PERSONALITY does not HAVE A SOUL. in order to do this CHAOS' SOUL would need to be destroyed and THREE new souls would need to be made. (THE PURPLE) LIGHT'S son would cease to exist, and left being would be three UNRELATED personalities. so this cannot be done without killing chaos.

I figured he simply assumes masks or personalities for himself over time due to his changing nature, and the previous ones become "dead" to him. I also assume he simply cannot return to becoming them on his own, or his entire being and self refuses to do so. I think doing >>5890637 is not good, because eventually this same sort of issue where he has dead mask personalities within him will build up again, and we'll have to do this again to help him out. It feels like, despite his allcaps CHAOS nature, these mask personalities he assumes for himself remain the way he is for a prolonged time, like the calm eye of a hurricane remains as is until the rest of the hurricane breaks down. I think if he did gain the ability to expel his mask personalities, he would only be able to do so when he irreversibly abandons a previous one for a new one.

I could be wrong about all of this though
>>
>>5890656
Wait, isn't the whole problem that his current mask/personality is The Suffering One? He didn't have this problem before when he was the King Hell and Family Man mask/personalities

Guys keep in mind that we’re using essentially a long-range mind control device. The one that the therapist created. The therapist, who usually has nothing to do all day round, created a mind control device that can control literal gods. This may be something to be slightly worried about.
>>
>>5891045
Give her a huge pair of knockers and everything will be daijoubu.
>>
>>5891045
I've no idea if this thing is a mind control device, I've been worrying about the same thing. It's still way, way beyond simply experiencing what it's like to be another person.
>>
>>5891064
I assumed this was less of a mind control device and more of suggestion device.
So our wife wouldn't do anything that she normally wouldn't do because of the device, but she could be steered towards a particular choice.

Although you could argue anons are doing the exact same thing with god, and that the device could count as its own 'vote' so to speak.
>>
>>5890605
Mortals are interesting to us, but they don't need to be ALIVE to be so. Life and death are almost meaningless to u, within "Black Space" at least. The mortals who interest us most get preserved as gods, celestial objects or denizens of heaven.

>>5890623
>Telepathically ask Snakewife what we should do
I think Family Man is the best choice, though, if we must make one.
>>
>>5891045
>>5891064
>>5891102
I personally assumed it let us occupy their mind but not influence them, and the influencing-of-minds was us flexing of nigh-omnipotence while we're in there.
>>
>>5891219
Those who interest us more get to go to paradise. Priest was originally a punishment and Timmy was an unforeseen consequence of giving somebody the choice to wish for literally anything. I do think them being alive matters considering we don't bother the dead too much when they stay dead.
>>
>>5891064
It's possible that the voting is non-diegetic, and that the choices we're making is the choices that the character would've made without us anyways. Hard to say.
>>
Hey QM, is this device a mind control one or are we really just exoeriencing what the other is doing
>>
>>5891402
(The device totally shifts God's perspective and makes him experience first-hand what it's like to be that person. So while he does have control, his mind has been temporarily altered so that God isn't just controlling who he's chosen, he has become who he has chosen, so that person probably wouldn't do anything out of character.
Only enough of God's consciousness is left unaltered so that he can leave and go back to normal if he wants. Oh, and the person being controlled does not realize. So basically God's consciousness becomes a near 100% replica of the person he's controlling, and he takes over.

Also, though I'd probably say this now, have been sick for the past few days. Was fine yesterday and the day before, but today has been particularly bad, so I've been resting a bit. I might do some updates today, but if not, I'll do more tomorrow when I'm feeling a bit better!)
>>
>>5891429
(Either way, I have been and will be keeping track of what you anons are discussing! Seems this choice is a bit of a thinker.)

He isn't like Wife, at the end of the day this isn't a situation with multiple souls fighting for control. Chaos is just genuinely insane and fragmented. It's clear he was good, loved his family, and is literally screaming out for help. The goal of DID treatment is to eventually make the different personalities come together into one person, because they aren't different beings, they're just multiple facets of one person.
>>

>Force the creation of a NEW PERSONALITY within Chaos. One that LOVES HIS FAMILY, and ENJOYS HIS EXISTENCE, and wants to IMPROVE HIMSELF AND THE UNIVERSE. Stabilize chaos permanently into the new personality.

I'm pretty sure the previous updates made it clear that merging them was a no go.
>>
>>5893165
No what happened is that only one version of Chaos can exist at the same time. The trixexistence of the three personalities is only temporary. Which is why I suggest merging, so that they become One instead of just dying.
>>
>>5893176
that involves destroying them all please learn to read
>>
>>5893201
Anon pls, read >>5890623 again, destroying them all would be if we want to make a soul for each of them, because the only soul they have is Chaos'. What I'm suggesting is merging the personalities together, all their traits and knowledge together. That way Chaos still lives and his different facets are brought together into one identity.
>>
(I don't usually do this, but since there's a bit of confusion I'll clear this up. It is possible to merge the personalities together, and it will not destroy Chaos' soul, but it will cause each personality to cease to exist independently of the other personalities. It's not like Wife where all the personalities are now in sync, it's more so all the personalities are one, and they can not cease to be that way, at least not completely. So this option sort of counts as just killing all the personalities, but also not, if that makes sense. You're killing them, so something else can live.)
>>

>merge

Btw, new reader here, love the quest. Though one thing I'm concerned about is one of the first few panels said "You'd probably be the most handsome being in the universe if you weren't currently the only one." Who else was there at the beginning with God??? It specifically says being so I know it wasn't the planet he just created.
>>
>>5893264
(Glad you enjoy the quest! That line is a little confusing lol, but it's just a joke. It's basically a play on the fact that God would by default be considered the most handsome since he was the only living being alive at the time. So he couldn't in confidence say he was, as there's nothing to compare him to. So, yeah, God was totally alone at the beginning.)
>>
>>5893255
That sounds good with me honestly.

>Merge the personalities
>>
>>5893255
I'm guessing they ''die'' in the same sense that two people fusing together would ''die'' as they now become one person.

The <GRAND SERPENT> could very well be snakewife, but I think we shouldn't take that fact for granted. Remember, Snakewife isn't from our creation, she came from a whole species of snakes on a higher plane than blackspace. Now that FAMILY MAN is a part of our new Chaos, we should at least see how he thinks about what happened. Not that it matters too much, but it's good to know these things in advance

I can't imagine the family would be more mad at us for doing the merger than they would at just leaving him be. Family Man was gone before we intervened. Better 1/3rd him than 0/3rds.

You begin to think. You're a bit afraid of thinking too much, fearing you'll fall back into the state you just escaped from. Always thinking... never not thinking... Never thinking the same thing twice... Ah. You get it now. That guy saved you. You aren't sure why he went through the effort to do that. He doesn't make any sense. You can't tell if he cares or doesn't care. Fuck, you don't even know his name, and you're pretty sure he's your father. "Guh Ah Dah" or something like that. And you are the Guh Ah Dah of Chaos. Wait... Guh ah... oh. GOD! God! You cloudy-headed fuck, they were always saying "GOD". That makes a lot more sense. You're the God of Chaos. You get it now. Your mind was all chaotic and everchanging because you are the embodiment of chaos itself.
The noise has stopped too.
And that serpent thing. It must have been her. Her... What a woman she is. You feel a familiar feeling wash over you. You love her again. Thank God for that, literally. And your children, Mandolin, and Rufus. Well, you aren't sure if that's the names they were given, but those were the names you screamed over all the noise. You still don't know if they actually heard you. You don't know if they've ever... heard you. You wonder if they're hearing you right now.
So you're a god. A GOD. Wow. Some lousy god you are.

You decide to think for a short while. Apparently, Father has been dealing with some problems involving your brother Chaos. You are unsure why people insist on making problems for Father. Father is a good man, and he knows what's best. Sometimes he needs a bit of help or guidance, but you are confident he's the right person for the position he has.
You are less confident about Mother, but you care for her. But even so, almost everything you do is for Father. You are Nothing, after all, so you have no choice but to try and make... something out of yourself.
Sometimes you envy the mortals. They know exactly what they are. They are pleased in such simple ways.
You once saw a mortal mother and a mortal child in the wilderness. They were on a camping trip while the child's father stayed home. The child's father was in fact your brother, The Adversary.
They spent the day talking, roasting meats over the fire, and exploring the wilderness together.
But then, after all that, it was night. They were sitting next to each other, and suddenly the child yawned. The mother said, "Come here, darling.", and let the child lean on her and fall asleep. While she just... looked up. At what? What is there in the sky to look at? There's nothing there. It makes no logical sense. The whole scene is so nonsensical. But even with how nonsensical it is, why does it make you sad? To think that a moment so gentle and arbitrary can exist in the same universe as you.

You decide to look up why people look up at the sky. It seems people do this usually to look at the stars, as looking at them gives them some kind of pleasure, serenity, or a generally positive feeling. Some also make a living from studying the stars and the things in the sky. These people are called "astronomers". Interesting. Perhaps the mother was practicing astronomy.

You reflect for a moment and realize that sadness technically isn't nothing. You suppose you feel more... empty than just nothing, as you are confident that you can feel emotion.
You revisit one of your favorite memories you've found within The Noosphere. It's a really interesting true story, about a man living in the LHR who became obsessed with this woman, so much so that he began slowly picking off every single person in her life that she loved in an effort to make her only pay attention to her. After years of misery and suffering due to the loss of everyone she's ever held dear, the woman finally found out what the man was doing, and tracked him down. Once she found him, she shot and killed him to avenge those he killed, before then taking her own life. Many books and plays have been written about this story, but in The Noosphere you were able to watch the actual events.
When it comes to your own memories, one of your favorites to revisit is the time you saved Father. You felt very accomplished. You did call him a dumbass though, which you felt a bit bad about.

You think for a moment and decide that your dad must be proud of you for what you did, and appreciate you. This makes you feel pretty good.
You decide to look up what existed before the current universe, or at least the current iteration of Black Space. Information is scarce, but you manage to dig up a few things.
A long, long time ago, two brothers emerged from the nothingness. These brothers were Life and Death. They both represented two facets of the universe. They decided to participate in a duel. This duel was to decide whose facet would be the main and most important one within the universe. Life won, and so Death sat below him in importance.
Life created a place where contentment reigned supreme. There were problems, but these problems were eventually fixed in one way or another. It was a place where everyone can be confident that everything will be alright in the end. The only catch was, all mortals in this world could not live more than 100 years. After 100 years, they would die. Death was very different from life. It was cold, black, and dark, for all eternity. No happiness, no feeling, just black. It remained this way, until The Rapture. No one knows for sure how The Rapture happened, but some seem to think it has something to do with a mortal who refused to die and was willing to do anything he could to not face death.

Probably stretching the limitations of her powers, but fuck it. No better time than when Nothing is at the helm.
>>
>>5893846
>Ideas
Let's not dig too deep, because I suspect that Nothing might find something we don't want her or us to see.

What seems to be the case is that, before we were god, we were mortal. We were THE mortal that did something heinous to avoid Death, thereby killing both Life and Death in the process. Our soul is purple, a perfect mix of red and blue. It's possible that we subsumed Life and Death somehow, consuming them and by extension obliterating Life's creations and Death's underworld in one fell swoop. This would explain why those higher beings hated us so much: we took away their friend for selfish reasons. Then again, our eyes were red. Maybe we made a deal with Death?

That being said, Life may have won the fight but, assuming Death was allowed to do what he would with mortals once he had them, it stands to reason that he, notoriously cruel, punished them forever. Maybe that's why our Life was so distraught when we created him. He was inhabited by the old Life who realized then that 1) his creation betrayed him, and that it was 2) in a sense his fault, because he naively let his brother tip the scales in such a way that that was a reasonable thing to do.

Or I'm completely off base and we're something else. Idk

You dig as deep as you possibly can. You manage to find one more thing. Life had a mortal that Life absolutely adored. He loved this mortal like his own son and showered him with gifts, wealth, and health. He spent a lot of time with this mortal, teaching him to play instruments, walking with him, telling him stories, and just generally spending every waking moment he could with him. But, of course, as this was a mortal, one day his time soon came. But the mortal was scared to die and begged Life to let him live just 100 more years. Life was reluctant, but granted this to the mortal, with the condition that when he would die, it would not be easy.
Another 100 years passed and the day came. The mortal tried to beg for more time again but to no avail. The mortal was beaten, whipped, and dragged all through town. Finally, the mortal had his eye removed, before being nailed to a cross.
The mortal screamed out, cursing Life, feeling nothing but pure hatred for the world around him.
You were unable to find any concrete timeline of the events after that, but one thing you know for sure is that the mortal did not stay on that cross.

The repeated motif of the crucifix is interesting. Wife, for example, seems to adore the concept, and blue even had a bit of a fetish for it. This might be a stretch, but maybe that's because we were crucified? She was made from us, to love us, after all. Maybe this is some weird Freud shit.

Plus, that eye: not only did we lose an eye ourselves, but our remaining red eye is in precisely the same place as the mortal's missing one. Plus, the colors and shapes line up: round white head, triangular body, and now, circular blood red eye. Life and death didn't seem to have eyes, but all of our creations do.

Plus, Life made an exception for us, once. Maybe that threw off the balance between life and death and allowed us to game the system? We'll see how this goes, but if we wanted to, couldn't we make a better world than Life ever did? Hell, in a sense, we already have: souls may have a crueler life, but their deaths have become much kinder, as shown by our own gods of the respective concepts. Ig all we can do is see where things go

You thank Retis, before recommending she have Life attend a few sessions in her office, as he's somewhat troubled.
"Yeah, I can do that if you really want... I don't know how much good it will do, though. That guy kinda scares me..."

Nelson and David hide behind a bush, scouting out an entrance to The MSMS base. On the way they stopped at a tavern, so Nelson is a little intoxicated.
"Dad... A-Are you sure we should be doing this?" David asks. "You're a little drunk."
"Shut up, boy." Nelson snaps. "I fought for this country, I'm allowed to be drunk."
"That's not... That's not the point-"
"HUSH BOY! Now... how are we gonna approach this?"
The main MSMS base is a huge underground facility. There are entrances to this facility all over this specific region of The LHR, all interconnected by underground tunnels. Most of these entrances are inside government buildings or slums, but Nelson and David have been led to the only one totally isolated from other people out in the middle of a grassy field.
Nelson and David are reluctant to just enter outright, but they really have no idea how else they are supposed to approach this.

Nelson thinks for a moment before a dark look spreads across his features. An expression of worry, and fear, but a hint of excitement and determination. The kind of look you NEVER wanna see on Nelson's face.
"I know what I must do, boy... I must sound The Lizard Whistle."
David is confused and concerned.
"The Lizard Whistle? What the hell is The Lizard Whistle?"
Nelson looks down. "You'll find out soon enough."
David snaps. "NO! NO! Dad, for once in your FUCKING life you will tell me something straight! What is the fucking LIZARD WHI-"
David is cut off as Nelson lets out an inhuman screech into the air. David covers his ears and falls down on his knees.

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
A large deep pounding sound emanates through the ground, as someone... no... something approaches.
Soon... as David looks up into the horizon, he is met... with a giant firebreathing robot lizard.
This is Lizardo. A magical robot created by The Legion of Wizards and Witches. Nelson's conspiracy theories about lizards began back in his military days when he came across this robot while stationed at a Wizard Legion base. Nelson managed to steal a document detailing how the machine worked, it being activated by letting out a certain inhuman sound.
Nelson has been saving this protocol for when he absolutely needs it, and it seems this is the right time.
What now? Lizardo is rapidly approaching Nelson and David's location.

You watch as David and Nelson watch as Lizardo starts reaping havoc. He destroys the entrance to The MSMS, reaching in and pulling people out just to eat them.
You decide to give Lizardo free will, making him immediately cease his actions.
"Mother..." Lizardo says. "How could they do that to you, mother...?"
Lizardo lets out a scream of anguish.

Lizardo begins screaming and crying about "the death of his mother" while shoveling MSMS members into his mouth like a hungry sentient train at a coal mine. You never knew robots could cry, or that they even existed. Seems the discovery of magic has made the advancement of technology a little easier. You do wonder why they haven't told the public about this. Wait, does the government even know about this? This might get interesting.

"Dad, what the fuck is that?!" David asks, clearly terrified at the display of robot lizard gluttony.
"Lizardo... I've known about that thing for a while. Now that it's finally been useful, we can finally destroy it after we're done saving that guy!"
David is flabbergasted. "You want us to DESTROY that thing?! D-Dad I can barely defeat a spider, what makes you think I can... I mean..."

You summon a huge gigantic space butterfly to come down from the sky. As soon as it sees Lizardo, it yells out. "HEY FUCKER, THINK YOU'RE BIG AND SCARY?" The butterfly says. "WELL I'M BUTTERFLYO, AND I'M BIGGER AND SCARIER!"
Lizardo growls. "FUCK YOU, GUY! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MOURN THE TRAGIC DEATH OF MY MOTHER!"
"FUCK YOUR MOTHER! SHE WAS PROBABLY A LIZARD!"
"NO, ACTUALLY, SHE WAS A CAT! IT'S VERY SMALL-MINDED OF YOU TO MAKE SUCH AN ASSUMPTION!"
"NUH UH."
"YEAH HUH."
The two giant creatures begin battling, buying Nelson and David some time to run for the entrance to the tunnel.

Nelson and David begin walking through the underground tunnel system that leads to The MSMS. It seems like it'll be a pretty long walk, but thankfully Lizardo ate all the guards that might have caused our two heroes trouble.
"Dad... are you sure about this?" David asks. "It's not too late to go home, y'know..."
"HUSH. BOY." Nelson says, for the 500th time.
"No, Dad, really. I REALLY think we're in over our head here..."

"Listen, boy. Back in the war-"
"Dad, for the last time, there was no war. You were in the military, yes, but you never fought in a war-"
"THERE IS ALWAYS A WAR!" Nelson seems angry, but he calms down after a moment. "Now, listen. When I was in the war, I was sent on a mission to take down a moonshine operation in Easttown, LHR. We was sneakin' through the woods, getting closer and closer. We were all ready for a fight. Except for this kid, Private Rogers. Private Rogers' legs were all wobbly, his brow was all sweaty, and his hands were all shaky. All things you don't wanna see a man who's supposed to have your back doing. And all of a sudden he asked in this shaky, bitchy voice 'Are you sure about this?'. And guess what happened to him? An hour later his guts were hangin' out and I had to shove em' back into his stomach."
David is silent for a moment before speaking. "Dad, what the fuck was the point of that story?"
"Well, son, the point was... MAN THE FUCK UP BEFORE I RIP YOUR GODDAMN GUTS OUT!"
"B-But I thought in that story you were putting his guts back in-"
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"
David looks down, clenching his fist, before looking back to his father.
"Y-Y'know, Dad, I'm getting real tired of you pushing me around all the time!"
Looks like David is trying to stand up to his father.

You decide to check Nelson's memories to see if he really did fight in a war.
Seems Nelson did indeed join the military 30 years ago, giving a good 10 years of service before retiring.
Nelson was active in "The Moonshine Wars", which was not an official war but an operation acted out by The LHR Military to take down the large moonshine operations being run in the rural areas of The LHR. This was an extremely controversial operation that lasted for many years. The controversy mostly stemmed from the large amount of civilian casualties, and the generally brutal methods The LHR were using.
You manage to find a memory from before Nelson went all wacko. Nelson had just participated in a battle with a small moonshiner camp alongside his fellow soldiers, this battle ending with all the moonshiners, armed or not, dead, and the camp itself being burnt to the ground. Nelson walks up to his friend and superior Corporal Bark.
"Bark... did we really do something good here?" Nelson asks. "I mean, I signed up so I can be a hero... and I don't really feel like a hero right now, man."
Bark scoffs. "Aw, come on bucko! These are moonshiners! Scum! All they do is sit around and brew illegal alcohol all day. And every now and then shoot other people who are also brewing illegal alcohol. These people don't matter to the world!"
Nelson looks down. "Yeah, but... what about that woman you shot? She didn't look like a moonshiner."
"She was the WIFE of a moonshiner. That's bad enough."
"Bark, come on... I mean is this even a war? It just seems like a massacre."
"There's ALWAYS a war, Private Nelson. ALWAYS." Bark says firmly. "Come on, what's got you down, buddy? How are you feeling."
Nelson sighs. "I mean I just feel... bad I guess. Not sleeping right, can't think. Can't do anything without thinking about what we're doing here."
Bark perks up. "OH! I know that feeling. You see, when you kill someone, you'll feel that. But the only way to make it go away is to just keep killing! And if you can't kill, drink, it's just as good!"
Nelson seems reluctant. "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am! Would I lie to you?"
Nelson gives Bark a sad smile. "Alright..."
"There's the Private Nelson I know! You're gonna be a hero, buddy. A hero."
Nelson looks up at the sky. "Yeah... I'm a hero... A hero..."

In the present, as Nelson and David continue walking through the tunnel, you make it so that an exact clone of David comes around the corner.
The clone points at the real David. "YOU! YOU'RE A LIZARD!"
Nelson looks at the real David, then at the clone.
"I know a lizard when I see one," Nelson says, before firing at the clone.
The clone hisses, and laughs, before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"I knew this was a lizard den... We're getting closer, I can feel it."

Nelson and David begin searching around the MSMS facility, Nelson checking every single corner making sure there are no lizards around.
As Nelson and David are walking down a dark hallway, suddenly a figure jumps from the darkness, grabbing David by the throat, and pointing a gun at Nelson.

You decide to summon Rover's greatest loved one into the hands of Nelson. Nelson's hands are already occupied by the blunderbuss, so when you summon Rover's loved one, said loved one completely replaces Nelson's gun. Oh fuck. Seems Rover's greatest loved one is... a stuffed purple bunny.
Rover notices what Nelson is holding and immediately flies into a rage.
"LET GO OF MISTER BIGEARS YOU OLD MOTHERFUCKER!"
Nelson is offended by this. "Old? I'll have you know I'm only 47 years old! I'm still in my prime-"
Rover shoots Nelson before he can finish that sentence, gravely injuring him.

You magically heal Nelson's wounds before giving sapience and life to Mister Bigears.
Mister Bigears rises up into the sky, shocking Rover and terrifying David. Nelson doesn't really seem to be phased.
"Alright, assholes, listen up!" Mister Bigears begins. "I am a fucking MESSENGER FROM GOD! Nelson, David, this guy is the person you guys came here to find and save. Rover, these people are here to help you. Stop fighting! Work together! And please, Rover, for the love of God, stop being so fucking creepy."
Mister Bigears then loses his sentience and falls limp to the floor.
The room is silent for a moment before Rover begins speaking.
"So... you guys are here to help me?" Rover asks.
"Yup, indeed we are," Nelson explains. "There's a whole war about to be sparked and we thought you might be useful."
"A war...?" Rover seems a bit hesitant. "What kind of war? And what's your plan?"
Seems Rover has a bit of catching up to do after being locked in this place for so long.
You look within Rover's memories and find out Mister Bigears was originally intended to be a gift for Rover's son when he was born, but apparently Rover's girlfriend at the time miscarried and the baby was never born. Seems Rover is now convinced the soul of his unborn son lives within Mister Bigears.

Nelson puts on a confident and arrogant face. "We're gonna march right into Horthka and win the fight for ourselves!"
It's silent for a moment until Rover speaks. "And then?"
Nelson's confident expression fades. "Uh... I don't really know."
Seems they have some planning to do.
You decide to search for the soul of Rover's unborn son. Seems his soul... is inside of Mister Bigears! The only thing is... the soul is green. What? Why would his soul be green? What would that even mean? This concerns you.

You teleport into the void to compare the green soul to a regular soul to see what makes them different. You also check to past to make sure you were not the cause of this soul's creation when giving Mister Bigears life, and you confirm that the soul was in fact there before you did that.
It seems the only thing that makes this soul different from a regular soul is the circumstances in which it is created. What that means you don't really know. You wonder if Rover's powers could have anything to do with this, but you realize there's no way to find that out for sure as Rover's powers are completely based on deception.

You decide to check on Nothing's champion, Kira. Kira is a very wealthy and somewhat respected mage living in The Holy Fish Empire. She's also a weird freaky creep. Ever since Kira was a child she's been obsessed with the idea of "rejecting the species", as she calls it. What this basically means, is she's obsessed with modifying herself in such a way as to make it so that she no longer resembles any of the species that lives on Greeth. She wants to become a monster. This initially got her locked up in mental asylums, but the more wealth she attained through her career as a mage the more she was able to avoid being locked away.
Kira did not like the fact that The LHR began to move into The Holy Fish Empire, and she certainly did not like the fact the government hadn't been doing much about it. So she has decided to take matters into her own hands.
Seems she's kidnapped one of the high-ranking soldiers stationed at Fort Fidor, the old General Bark. What she plans to do with him you can only imagine.

You decide to check in Nothing guided her champion at all. Seems Nothing guided her champion to kidnap General Bark, but besides that, Kira has mostly been acting on her own accord. You decide to watch for a bit.
Kira speaks with this high raspy voice, resembling the creek of a door more than the voice of an actual person sometimes.
"The old general in my home..." Kira begins. "Not how I expected my week to go..."
Bark speaks with little fear, but lots of malice. "You... fuck..." He says. "They're gonna find me eventually, y'know..."
"How could they not, General Bark?" Kira asks. "You're not exactly hard to spot with how... BIG you are."
Bark is confused for a moment. "What... are you trying to say?"
Kira laughs. "I'm calling you fat."
Bark is enraged by this. "I AM NOT FAT, YOU GREY-FACED BITCH! MY MOTHER ALWAYS SAID I WAS A PERFECTLY NORMAL WEIGHT FOR SOMEONE MY HEIGHT-"
Bark's tirade is cut short by Kira stabbing Bark in the eye, taking the eye out, and making it fall on the floor. Bark does not appreciate this, and begins to yell.
"YOU FUCK! YOU FUCK! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE EYE YOU FUCKING PSYCHO! I'LL WIPE OUT YOUR DIRTY FISHY SPECIES YOU EVIL BITCH! NOT MY FAVORITE EYE! My favorite eye..."
Seems Bark is more angry at the fact that she took specifically his favorite eye, and less that she took an eye at all. Seems Kira finds this very amusing. "Wipe out the fish people all you want, General. I have no relation to them."
Bark is confused by this statement, and finds it a bit concerning. "What...? If you aren't a fishperson what are you...?"
Kira doesn't respond and simply stares at Bark. What a fucking creep. You begin to regret assigning this psychopath to your beloved daughter, but you suppose it's too late.

You decide to check on Arika, and also decide to bring Nothing with you to have some bonding time with your beloved daughter.
Seems in the 20 years you've left Arika alone, there have been many changes. With the termites finding out what "conquering" is they immediately got to doing just that. The Eatbrain tribe consumed all of the other termite tribes into themselves, establishing The Marsian Empire, named after the father of a respected chief. The Marsian Empire then proceeded to take most of the bird people's land, the bird people unifying to make an empire of their own, known as The Sunderian Empire.
With the coastal bird and termite tribes beginning to advance on the ocean, eventually, nations were established on most of the other islands as well. What do you want to do?

You decide to go and check out all the nations on Arika separate from the main continent. The first you check out is Melvinland. Melvinland was once the most technologically advanced of all the nations. Creating computers, artificial intelligence, and motorized vehicles. But, you see, the only reason they were able to do this is because the leader of the nation, Melvin Melvin, had made a deal with an ancient evil put underneath the island by Life, known as Orthos. Orthos demanded an annual sacrifice of 67 children. Melvin and the government did right by this deal for many years, and in return were given the blueprints to create amazing and powerful technology.
But then, one day, Melvin got cocky. He decided he didn't need to do right by this deal anymore, and sent in the military to try to kill Orthos.
Orthos had none of this, and so Orthos destroyed the entirety of Melvinland, killed 98% of the population, and turned the island into a hellscape surrounded by red toxic clouds.
The only people who were not killed were turned into a hivemind known simply as The Red Dot. No one knows what those who are within the red dot experience, but most people assume it isn't good.

The Union of Termites and Birds was formed not long after the Marsian Empire started trying to totally conquer the main continent. Formed by a bunch of coastal bird and termite tribes who were disillusioned with the brutal ways of the termites and the bird's endless war, The Union at its conception proved to be a much more peaceful nation than Marsia or Sunder. That was until attacks from Marsia began to weigh on those living within The Union. They became obsessed with trying to create better and more advanced defenses, eventually covering the entirety of the island in huge intimidating cities, with buildings reaching so high up into the sky that they almost left the atmosphere of the planet.
The Union eventually became an industrial hellhole, most of the population being miserable factory workers or petty thieves. The government has their finger in pretty much everything, and anyone who speaks out against them publically can be arrested or killed for "anti-revolutionary" activities.

The nation of Reffor is probably the most peaceful of all the nations. It's not all sunshine and happiness though. Poverty is rampant, the wildlife and weather are brutal, and if you think you're gonna make it as a wealthy businessman and live comfortably you are sorrily mistaken. But, you can do a lot worse.
There are many small towns and villages, but most people live on isolated homesteads where living off the land is the key to survival. There are also coastal towns and homes where fishing is probably your best bet to make a living and feed your family.
Not an easy place to live, but you can do a lot worse, especially on Arika.

And finally, Fera. Fera is sort of the black sheep of the island nations, as no birds or termites are living on it. The land the nation is currently built on was originally owned by The Marsian Empire, but one day, out of the blue, a ship landed on the island and just... took it over. This ship held an alien race known as The Kreekos, who are an extremely advanced race of very short and strange little guys. The Marsians tried to fight the Kreekos, but the Kreekos tech was just too advanced for the Marsians to really do anything.
The Kreekos are rather peaceful, their biggest industry being the production of "smarven fleece" that is used for food, construction, and the creation of clothing. The Kreekos have advanced computer systems, ships, and all sorts of little gadgets and gizmos. They're certainly the most advanced species you've seen. You ask Nothing where they came from, and she tells you apparently Life is the one who made them.
You try to turn the acid ocean into a regular one, but Nothing stops you.
"Father, if you do that it will ensure the death of all the fish in the ocean. They cannot survive in regular water. If those fish die, many people will starve."
You ask Nothing about what you should do on Arika.
"I'm not sure. Many wars and conflicts are going on, maybe you can get involved in that."

You decide to go find Icebird. Looks like Icebird is the Emporer of Sunder. However, instead of doing actual Emporer stuff, he spends most of his time traveling across the nation to play music for orphaned children.
He's currently playing a show at "Dead Parents Orphanage". The song he's playing goes as follows:
Öh yeah

Oh

You go within The Red Dot and begin to speak to Melvin.
You tell him that you will grant him freedom from The Red Dot if in return he is willing to sacrifice the thing he holds most dear. It seems the thing he holds most dear is Melvinland, and his choosing to have his freedom would mean Melvinland would be trapped in this state permanently. He decides it's a sacrifice he's willing to make, and takes your deal.
You turn him into a demigod and teleport him to a raft far away from Melvinland. Melvin is now free but stripped of all the status and power he once had, while also being completely alone.

You decide to investigate the Kreeko way of life. Fera is led by General Heefendogan, who is the one who decided to conduct the expedition to colonize Arika in the first place.
The Kreekos are an interplanetary species and Empire, each planet they inhabit being led by a General. Said General has full power within their respective planet but must report and answer to the Emporer back on the Kreeko's home planet.
Kreekos are not inherently violent, nor are they inherently ill-willed. They do however consider empathy to be a birth defect and widely use mass-produced living "flesh technology" in their daily lives. The Kreekos believe they are the ultimate lifeform and are fully willing to kill people if it means they can take another planet into their empire. They are also just generally very very strange.

You make a huge telepathic announcement telling all Kreekos that you are indeed God and the ultimate lifeform. At first, the Kreekos begin to panic, but then they are outraged. The Kreeko Empire had been telling the common Kreekos that there was no God for years now.
The common Kreekos decide that everything they've been told in life is a lie, and a huge revolution begins. Kreekos begin cutting off their ears, as their ears are considered sacred in ancient Imperial Kreeko culture. The Kreekos then begin pulling the rich out of their homes and killing them by setting them on fire. This all happens within the span of 30 minutes. You also make it so that being born with empathy is not only more common for Kreekos, but also incurable.

You undo all the damage you cause, but make sure all the Kreekos remember it just to mess with them. The government immediately began arresting thousands of civilians who took part in the revolution and imprisoning and executing them.
You also apologize to Life, but he sort of brushes it off. In a weird way. It's almost like he doesn't really like talking about the Kreekos for some reason, but you aren't entirely sure why.
You decide to go check out the Kreeko Emperor, and so you head to the home planet of the Kreeko people, Arsko. Seems the Kreeko Emperor is simply known as "Sal" in most circles. Seems for some reason Sal's existence predates all other current living Kreeko by a very good while. In fact, it seems Sal is so old and so sick that he needs to be constantly hooked up to this strange machine just to stay alive.
Sal makes no public appearances and gives all his orders by sending messages through a computer system that can read his thoughts. You can feel a great power emanating from Sal. You feel like if he wasn't so old and sick he might actually be a very powerful mortal.

You begin telepathically communicating with Sal.
"What is that? A voice? Ah... You must be Existence. Or 'God', as many people call you. What do you want with me?"
You ask why the Kreeko elites are the way they are.
"They are... efficient. I did not directly tell them to do the things they do, but I told them to be efficient. That's just the way they choose to pursue efficiency it seems. It makes no difference to me, as it works well enough. It also does not help they were created by a murderous, sociopathic fool. He thought he could give me a difficult choice. No choices I've made in my lifetime have been difficult, God. None of them."
You offer to give Sal freedom from the machines, but in return, he sacrifices the thing he holds most dear.
"I presume you would find it amusing if I took this offer. But unfortunately for you, I do not see myself as trapped. I was trapped when I was forced to spend time eating, sleeping, drinking, and socializing that I could have been spending doing important work. I regret to inform you that I reject your offer, and never, in a million years, would I ever take it."
You attempt to give him empathy but fail. You are unsure why until you realize he already has empathy.
"Attempting to curse me, are you? Well, I'm afraid a curse of that nature will not work on me. I have emotions, empathy, doubts, insecurities, all the like. But I've learned to ignore them completely. Even if you made my empathy more intense, I simply would just ignore it. I can ignore pretty much anything. It's a special talent of mine."

You look into Sal's past. Apparently, he was actually not created by Life, but actually Chaos. He was created by Chaos in an attempt to create a being that could assist Chaos in the purging of all undesirables from the universe. A powerful and unfeeling immortal being, that has no problem with killing if it means bettering the universe. Chaos was unsatisfied with his creation, however, and abandoned Sal on a planet somewhere out in deep space.
This is where Sal remained for a very long time until Life came to see him. Life made a deal with him that he would allow Sal any request he wanted, in return for his immortality. Sal agreed to this deal, his wish being that Life would help Sal create a race of people in his image, and create a space empire. Life agreed to this, very satisfied, thinking he conned an immortal being into giving up his life until the Kreekos became so advanced that they were able to practically give Sal his immortality back. Sal played Life like a fiddle, it seems.

You ask him about his time in Red Space.
"My time in Red Space was probably the most interesting and eventful part of my life. You see, your son, Chaos, left me alone on a completely empty planet, so of course I didn't really have much to do. But with all the free time I had, I decided attempting to shed my physical form and go to Red Space might be in my best interests. So that is what I did. In some of the pockets of Red Space time moves slower, and in some, it moves faster, so I ended up spending approximately four thousand years of Red Space time having my adventures. I'd of course always periodically come back to avoid ROT, but Red Space became my new home. I did many things. Fought in wars against The Green Federation, gained powerful political positions, slayed over a hundred thousand individual people in my many battles, and was even elected God of Green Space for a short while. I eventually stepped down from my position, as I believe having a 'god' is usually a bad idea, no offense. I had a wife and children as well, but I did them a favor and left them behind. It'd be impossible to tell you all the things I did, so I won't bore you."

You ask Sal how he became the God of Green Space.
"Green Space is largely run by The Green Federation, which is this political organization that wants to unite all the spaces into one. I fought with this rebel group against them, and we at one point managed to infiltrate their God election and get me into power. That rebel organization isn't currently very pleased with me, as me stepping down basically undid all of their work. As for how you can become the god of a space that's broken up into pocket dimensions, you really can't, the Federation just seems to think they can."
You ask him if he has any advice for you.
"Well, straighten Life out, for one. Be there for your children. Maybe explore Red Space a bit yourself, but be careful of course. And with The Federation out there, maybe set up some defenses. They've had their eyes on Black Space since before The Rapture."
You ask him if he knows what the colors of the souls mean.
"Well, yours is purple, right? All the souls I've seen have been red and blue. The good parts of the soul, and the bad parts. So obviously you have the good, the bad, and something else. What that something is, I have no idea, but there's something. I don't know anything about green souls though. Never even heard of them."
You say goodbye to Sal and head over to the purple planet where you created the amoebas. Seems they evolved to change shape to something more recognizable as an actual creature. They don't seem to actually do anything all day, but since they are all constantly hallucinating they probably think they are.

You ask Nothing about what she thinks about the planet.
"I'm not sure. It's clear these beings might perceive their world as something more than it is due to the hallucinations. Perhaps the evolution in their physicality is an effort to make their real body match their perceived reality."
You call Peace over and ask what he thinks about the planet.
"Damn... those guys must be totally trippin', man. To be constantly inhaling that gas into their lungs, they must be in another universe. I like, uh, expanding the mind and shit, but I try to stay away from that stuff. Apparently, Chaos was pretty into it, and you saw how that guy turned out..."
You call Life over and ask what he thinks.
"Is this the little pet project you were talking about? This is fucking boring. I expected it to be way cooler than a bunch of stupid organisms floating around in some green mist."

You check their soul color. Same as everyone else, red and blue. You then decide to peer into their dreams...
When you peer into their hallucinations, you see what can only be described as some kind of giant office building filled with people in suits that you can only assume to be workers.
Seems the two amoebas you were focusing on are having some kind of conversation.
"Did you watch the sports ball game last dark time, co-worker and friend?" The pink bunny thing asks.
"Why, no, I did not. I was working the overtime as to make the more money I was, as to support my family, yes." The green lizard thing responds.
"Oh, yes, overtime, the act of staying at ones job longer than one has to in an effort to make more money or get extra credit, yes I do this often."
"Me too, friend."

Seems this whole world is basically a collective hallucination between all the amoebas in the green dot. It's real to them, but it does not exist in our world, only in the minds of all the amoebas.
Seems everyone in this world works in "The Department of Business Department", where they spend all day doing... something. Everyone within the building lives on the top floor, where they all have families at home.
You decide to give this guy, who is named "Frunkle", the ability to shape the dream to whatever he pleases. Frunkle does not realize he has this ability yet, but you're sure he will.

You decide to view the outside of the building for a moment. Wow, looks like nothing exists outside of it. It's just a building floating in an endless void. You push the evolution of the amoebas a bit more, so that maybe at some point they can expand to have an actual world, and not just one building.

You ask Nothing if she wants to add anything. It seems she'd rather allow them to create their own reality than to meddle with it herself.
You make it so that the amoebas are all psychics, meaning that the more they evolve the more their perceived reality will become real. Meaning the more they evolve, the planet itself will begin to become what they see it as.
You also make it so that one of the amoebas is immune to the gas. He immediately begins freaking out and crying, while everyone still in the hallucination watches him with confusion.

Well apparently he's been messing around with David, made the Kreeko and that deal with Sal and probably did some other stuff as well. Apparently he likes screwing around with mortals as much as is dad, though gets a little bit too much into the bloodshed. Honestly he's one of our more proactive kids.

The insecurities make a lot of sense given God's relationship with the original God of Life in the last iteration of Black Space. Either he's a reincarnation of that guy, or maybe we projected our own suppressed angst around OG Life onto this version when we made him.

You were right about The MSMS, you're going to be right about David, you were right about the war, you're right about EVERYTHING, except for the one little slip-up with Sal. Why doesn't Dad give YOU more attention? Why are you never given recognition for the things YOU do? Is it because the others are older than you? No... that can't be it. Your life experience still surpasses them by a million percent... FUCK this is a confusing world.

"Fuck my life."

After taking off the goggles you immediately go to find Life. You find him in the place you expect him to be, lying down on the grass.
He notices your presence without having to look at you.

I'll back this, Life would appreciate our perspective like very few others would.

You ask him why he's crying.
"Pfff. Me? Cry? Impossible. Fuck off with that."
You tell him you were just inside of his mind.
"Okay? I don't care. Go away."
You ask him if he wants to hang out. He's silent for a few moments.
"No..."

You ask what the matter is.
"Nothing..."
You give him a pat and tell him he's cool.
"Stop."
You tell him out of all your children he's the most like you.
"I don't care..."
You go to hug him and tell him you love him.
He pushes you away.
"FUCK... OFF..."
You give up and finally go away.

At the same time of these events, somewhere else completely, separate from you, is your son Chaos.
He's just put his children to bed and said goodnight to his wife.
But... it's quiet. Too quiet. It was never quiet before he got fixed. It hurts.
He grabs a bag of soul rocks and considers taking them. Maybe, being fixed was a bad idea. Maybe he should go back.
He decides to take at least a couple. Just to remember what it was like before, so he can decide if being fixed was worth it.

He does.

Chaos decides he prefers the quiet...

(That's the end of thread 3! Any thoughts, criticisms, or concerns? Let me know! The next thread will likely be posted tomorrow, as I don't think I'll be doing anything.

Now it's time for the end-of-thread questions!
>What characters would you like to see more of?
>Do you like the direction the story has gone so far?
>Do you have any predictions for the future of the story?
And of course.
>What was your favorite moment from this thread?

Thanks for participating, anons! I will remain to answer any questions!)
>>
>>5907393
Great thread QM! Can't wait for the next one

>What characters would you like to see more of?
Honestly Hate, because we really haven't talked to him all that much. I also want to see the white cells. For now though, I want more of Life
>Do you like the direction the story has gone so far?
Yes, I never thought what started as a black square with some MS Paint would turn into that so I'm pleasantly surprised. Very trippy stuff so far
>Do you have any predictions for the future of the story?
I have a feeling we may learn more of God's past next thread, given the video we just saw. Though I don't know if this is God or somebody else. I think God was the mortal we learned about, but this could be subverted.
>What was your favorite moment from this thread?
When Chaos was finally fixed, that whole sequence was something and I felt really bad for the Suffering One who really only wanted to live and genuinely learn how to love again.

>What characters would you like to see more of?
Lucy

>Do you like the direction the story has gone so far?
Yeah, though it's chaotic and jumps all over, that's sort of a function of playing a nigh-omnipotent scatterbrain.

>Do you have any predictions for the future of the story?
I suspect one of our more bizarre creations or 'favorite' mortal playthings will reach out to spaces beyond the black and attempt to usurp us, as we once did the previous gods of black space.

>What was your favorite moment from this thread?
The trip to Chaos' mind, or the wacky nelson adventures.

Thanks for running, QM!

Glad you enjoyed the thread!
>Yes, I never thought what started as a black square with some MS Paint would turn into that so I'm pleasantly surprised. Very trippy stuff so far
Yeah, I certainly didn't expect this to turn into what it did! This started as a side project and a little experiment and was also my first time posting on the board, lol.

>>5907401
>BLACK AND WHITE CONTAIN EVERY COLOR AND NO COLOR
This is sort of the answer to a riddle from a while ago in the last thread, and I'm surprised no one got it.
>>
>>5907415
What was the riddle?
>>
>>5907417
>>
>>5907420
Aah, so ''every color'' would be the white inferno, because it's completely White
>>
My thought is we are the universe itself as we are a black line around the white the body is the least us
>>
>>5907498
Like in the same way that the Buddha was the whole universe but also had a physical form inside of it? That makes sense.

Cool music, I like it
>>5907393
>What characters would you like to see more of?
The other kid of Chaos, the one that isn't Mandolin. Hoover, Harper, Raul, Ron, whatever his name was. He was only mentioned like thrice. I even forgot his name, though that's probably my fault.
>Do you like the direction the story has gone so far?
Yes, I quite like it.
>Do you have any predictions for the future of the story?
What >>5907402 said seems likely. Our creations, or creations of our creations, go beyond into the other spaces and gleam higher truths still beyond us, and maybe try and fuck around with us.
>What was your favorite moment from this thread?
Getting to see life from other people's perspective through the goggles. I really like it.
>>
>>5907502
like we existed before we created ourself the universe itself is our outline or more like our body is a absence in reality
>>
>>5907773
>Cool music
Thank you! Made it a while ago, but dug it up for this.
