You are Urist Twelfthbay. You are the moe personification of Dwarf Fortress. You are a short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry.

You have, in your hubris, all but ruined the fundamental concepts of time and space, and possibly also cause and effect, as they apply to the nation of Planeptune (aka all things Sega). Currently, the cityscape is undergoing instant remodeling as Neptune turns the trousers of time inside out, retroactively ensuring that previously rejected building plans have always existed for many years since just now.

See, you wanted to impress the goddess's minder by giving said goddess the power to complete paperwork without actually having to do it in the first place. And... well, it /worked/. Y'know, after a fashion. Kind of.

Alright, so you can safely say you've never seen Neptune look so focused before. Sure, she's vacantly staring into the middle distance with a faintly worrying smile on her face, but she IS getting paperwork done. In a physically and temporally impossible manner, but it's the thought that counts.

What probably counts more is the fact that Neptune's efforts have attracted the unwanted attention of one of her rival goddesses, Noire of Lastation, who's flying a beeline right for this building, armed for bear. From the guards' guesstimations, she'll be here in a matter of minutes, and no, she's probably not just making a social call.

... you could really go for a drink right now.

IF curses under her breath, releasing your wrists and letting you stagger to the ground as she turns toward the guard. "Fine. Take me to the Basilicom's entrance. I'll go see what she wants." Her bleak tone of voice tells you just what she thinks of her chances against this kinda divine wrath. "As for you... fix this."

Your heart drops to your stomach. Fix- what, fix /Neptune/?

Iffy's lips purse into a tight, disapproving line. "I don't know what you did to her. I don't think you do, either. But if we don't have at least a partially functioning Neptune by the time Noire gets here, then we're going to be in for a bad time, and I will hold you personally responsible," she deadpans. "Do we have an understanding?"

The trenchcoat-wearing girl doesn't wait for your response before stalking from the room, leaving you staring at Neptune and her paperwork. The sound of signatures being scribbled and sheafs of paper being shuffled fills your ears, impossibly loud as decades worth of documents continue to be retroactively or prospectively filled out.

Right.

... right.

Time to un-fuck yourself.

Question: Can you alter the generated history with DF Hack? If yes:
>[ ] [DF HACK] got you into this mess, so by Armok it's going to get you OUT of this mess. Shut down her current job, alter its parameters, or outright change it... with ill-defined hacking.

Just instead or additional to mucking about with Neppermint, we should try to identify and neutralieze to most offending changes to history or alternatively just try to change history back to how it was before Neptune got "Effortless Buerocracy" faster than she alters it.

If DFhack can't change the history, then:

>Great success!

You're not normally one to think on your feet. It's probably hereditary; you dwarves blunder into awful situations all the damn time, because you're all stubborn little shits with terrible foresight. Gotta murder that one goblin, even if it means following him out the fortress and into the remaining ninety-nine gobbos; gotta go fetch that one discarded left sock, even if it's in the jaws of a slavering Forgotten Beast; etc, etc.

On the flip side, if there's one thing you're good at, it's reacting immediately when shit starts going south. Neptune's stuck in some sort of buggy bookkeeping loop? Cancel the job by deconstructing the chair she's sitting on.

You don't have time to do that the properly dwarven way, though, so you wind up and just knock the chair out from under Neptune's dumb ass, sending her to the floor in a tangle of limbs and paperwork.

"Gyaaah!?"

Instantly, the sense of all-pervasive /wrongness/ lifts from your shoulders, and the sound of paperwork trails off to a light rustling. As the laws of temporal physics stop getting taken to pound town, Planeptune's earthquakes fade to a distant rumble. Outside, the larger half-built towers collapse in on themselves, glowing materials fading to the color of dull rust before dissipating altogether.

Neptune brushes a few stray papers aside and levers herself back up, tears of pain in her eyes- her completely normal eyes, thank fucking gods. "Ow... c'mon, Urist, that was mean! You don't kick someone when they're doing- what was I doing again?"

Paperwork. She was doing paperwork.

"Haha, no way! Don't pull my leg like that!" the goddess of all things Sega laughs, socking you in the shoulder. "Really, what's going on?"

You grimace, fingers twitching as you resist going straight for your flask and drinking until the world stops sucking. You don't have time to putz around at Neptune's pace, so you give it to her straight: CPU Black Heart's coming right this way, so-

"Huh? What?" Neptune's eyes- no, her entire goddamn /being/ seems to light up from the inside. She's always been happy, sure, but that ain't nothing compared to the sheer /joy/ bubbling up to the surface. "Noire's coming to see me!?"

W-Well, yeah, but she's completely in battle mode, and oh fucking hell Neptune isn't listening.

"Noire's coming to see me!" she gushes, clapping her hands to her cheeks. "Haha, I thought she was giving me the cold shoulder, but she's going all deredere now, huh?"

Before you can stop her, Neptune throws open the window and vaults out, ignoring the fact that it's not fucking ground level. "Noiiiiire~!"

You scramble over just in time to see Neptune hit the roof running, waving her hands at the sky. Up above, far enough that you can't make out any details against the afternoon sky, you swear you see a shooting star; it's not changing direction, still heading straight for the Basilicom.

Cursing under your breath, you're about to just- fucking follow Neptune, or go grab IF, or do /something/, when Therapist pings you urgently. You blink, bringing up the UI within your mind's eye (or your literal eye, who even knows how this even works).

As expected, you've got Estelle and Rokko closing in on Planeptune's capital, which is great. What's not so great is that- well, speaking of not knowing how shit works, Therapist is telling you that you've got incoming hostile contacts coming in on the Planeptune Basilicom, far sooner than Estelle and Rokko will arrive.

You didn't even think that Therapist could /track/ that sort of shit.

Gamindustri's survived this long with the goddesses interacting without your help, and as for the hostiles, well, that's what the city guard is for (And, again, there are two goddesses here). But we haven't seen Rokko and Estelle in weeks/months/20+ threads, depending on how you want to measure it, and Estelle will not be happy if she gets here and we've run off to do something else.

You can't possibly imagine why the hell there'd be /any/ hostile ANYTHINGS headed for the Planeptune Basilicom, of all places. Given how weak Planeptune is compared to its rivals, you figure the most Gamindustri would bother to rustle up is the equivalent of a few goblins armed with copper weapons and maybe one piece of armor per two attackers. Besides, as rundown as Nep's home is, it's bound to have a few stubbornly loyal adventurers mucking about.

You don't want to waste time with /that/, not when Neptune's running toward the heavily armed arms of the one Gamindustri goddess you haven't actually met yet. With a sigh, you lever yourself out the window, spending a few crucial seconds hanging off the ledge and stretching your legs desperately. Once you're finally down (thank Armok for climbing, but still, FUCK climbing), you make damn sure your footing's steady before jogging off after Nep.

Noire, CPU Black Heart, and the goddess of all things Playstation. By most accounts, she's as aloof as they come, cool and competent; some people insist that she's one of those tsun-somethings. Either way, she's good at running her nation like a particularly efficient machine, despite making remarkably few public appearances. That's half the reason why you avoided Lastation like the plague; you can't fit in with a place like /that/, not with how you stick out like a sore thumb anywhere you go.

Either way, if the meticulously cool-headed Noire has flown all the way out here and transformed into that fancy-pants (figuratively speaking) battle mode of hers, then there's no way that's good news of ANY kind.

Because Gamindustri loves dramatic standoffs, you intercept both goddesses just outside the Basilicom: Neptune stands at ground level, smack-dab at the front door, with Iffy right beside her. They're both staring up at CPU Black Heart, hovering three stories up; with her back to the sun, all you can make out of the white-haired goddess in the black battle bikini is her silhouette, those lit-up highlights common to all divine beings, and the barest hints of her expression.

You only need that much to figure out that she's not exactly /happy/.

"Don't give me that!" Noire snaps, her eyes flaring with divine light. "It's not just suspicious, it's- it's inexcusable for a goddess to just /disappear/ for days on end! I was- I mean, your constituents must have been worried sick!"

Iffy flips back her side-tail, looking rather put-out. "... look, give the Basilicom more credit than that, will you? Of course we didn't blab it out for everyone to hear. Besides, we're getting off-track-"

"Exactly, exactly!" Neptune wails, flailing her fists childishly. "I've been trying to talk to /you/ for the past gazillion weeks, but you never picked up! And now you're even madder because I accidentally did the same thing to you!?"

You squint, staring in turns at the three of them. What the hell are you looking at? You were expecting fireworks and divine rage and fighting goddesses, and instead, you get some sorta- what, high school level "you never called me" relationship counseling bullshit? Honestly. Dwarves are so much easier- all /they/ need to do is bottle up all their stress to unhealthy levels before unleashing it all in cataclysmic temper tantrums with more than enough potential to end a fortress.

... anyway, no one's even noticed you yet, which is absolutely perfect. You've got a hunch about all this, given pattern recognition and all, so you keep an ear tuned to this conversation, and turn half of your attention to the ground beneath you. Seems like it's pavement, with some solid soil beneath you- good enough for your purposes.

"Of course I'm mad, idiot!" CPU Black Heart stammers. "After what happened to Vert and Blanc, and now you-"

"I can take care of myself, you know!" Neptune points an accusatory finger at Noire. "Besides, if you're gonna worry about me, then at least be honest about it! Tell me straight up! Show me some of that classic cutie-patootie tsundere blushing!"

The white-haired goddess opens her mouth to snap back a retort, but swallows it down with an effort. For a moment, she seems busy enough, listening to something close to her ear-

"N... Noire?" Neptune sounds uncertain, though she covers it up well. "C'mon, this is where you insist that you're not worried, right? Except in a totally unconvincing manner, and you blush and stammer while doing it, and it's the cutest thing that everyone expects from you by now-"

"Shut up." CPU White Heart lifts her sword and points it straight at Neptune, ignoring the goddess's sharp gasp. "I'm tired of this farce."

"Dammit, Noire-!" Quick as a flash, Iffy pulls out her punching daggers and stands protectively in front of her friend, her trenchcoat flaring out behind her. "I don't know what's eating at you, but you're going /way/ too far-"

"I have to admit, you're good for an imitation," Noire continues, her voice wavering. Her sword arm remains steady, even as those thrusters hovering inches from her skin begin charging up. "It... it was fun, talking to 'Neptune' like this again. But she's already fallen to Arfoire, hasn't she? Histoire told me everything-"

CPU Black Heart boosts forward, swinging her sword. That divine weapon- sharp enough to cut through steel like butter- slices through nothing but air, 'cause that's when you dig a ramp up underneath Neptune and Iffy, removing their footing and dropping them into your underground fortress/bolthole.

Ignoring Neptune's protests, you all but kick them into the tunnel behind you, staring up out your hole at Noire's big dumb shocked face, close enough that you can see the tears of /burning saddened vengeance/ gathering at the corners of her eyes.

Well, I don't think that things like the Ãœbercreeper curtesy of Urist and Mojang would count.
Also, strictly speaking, despite all the implications, Nepgears creation was just a very, very powerful summoning accident, mixed with, well, the biblical creation of Eve. (Part of Adam vs. part of HDD Neptune)

The only real kind of reproduction observed is kind of like Cell division. (Cytokinesis; in this case also more likely mitosis instead of meiosis etc.)

Well, I would debate that most body swaps and clone are kind of equally bad, with the only exceptions being essentially either forms of Possesion or a Doppelgänger monster.

Your first instinct is to punch Noire in her inhumanly cute face, because she's sieging your territory. Your second instinct is to drop back down and build a wall immediately, locking her out of your fortress forever.

Instead, you lean out of the one entrance to your fortress and prop your elbows up onto the pavement, summoning every ounce of dwarvish stubbornness you've got to give the goddess of all things Playstation your best unamused glare. Oh, so CPU Black Heart's got this all figured out, does she?

Rather than strike off your head for being a cheeky shit, Noire seems too damn surprised to do anything more than stammer. "Who are you supposed to be? Get out of my way, I have to get rid of-"

What, Neptune? you growl, leaning forward and taking refuge in audacity. And CPU Black Heart's absolutely convinced that she's some clone cooked up by Arfoire, is she?

"Of course I am!" Hah, no she's not, she's not even looking at you straight. Noire's a terrible liar, unless this is all just as planned. "I have it on very good authority that... that everyone else has been compromised. She's been warning me for weeks-"

Who, Histoire?

"Yes!" CPU Black Heart rallies magnificently, regaining some of her divine poise. "Why am I even arguing with you!? Vert's been acting strangely, Blanc is nowhere to be found, and Planeptune's been completely destabilized just now!" She straightens back up and looks down her nose, pointing that strange, mechanical sword of hers at you. "What more proof do we need? You're probably just a- what are you doing?"

Dialing up a number, what does it look like?

Noire stares at you, looking completely nonplussed. For a goddess, she's not too difficult to take off-guard, huh. "But- why does your phone have a rock stuck to the end of it-"

Shhh, you're putting it on speakerphone.

For a few tense heartbeats, you pray to Armok that Histoire will pick up. Then you pray to every OTHER deity that if she does pick up, she won't backstab you for some infathomable reason and confirm everything Noire says, leaving you stranded up shit creek without any non-minecart vehicles or boating physics-

"How in Gamindustri are you /doing/ this?" Histoire's tinny voice wails from your phone. "Please stop breaking the laws of physics on a whim, Urist! Or playing with my fragments! I'll have you know that this is /very/ uncomfortable-"

She can chew you out later, but- can she please just tell Noire that she's the real Histoire, and not some strange fake one whispering sweet nothings into the goddess's ear?

There's an awkward silence. "... oh, so that's where it went," Histoire says eventually, her voice subdued. "I'm so sorry, Noire."

"No way," Noire whispers, her face pale. Quick as flash, she's grabbed your phone, though she doesn't wrest it from your grip; she's just looking over the rock. "That's- that's one of the Key Fragments. It can't be anything else."

She lets go of the rock, staring through you. "Are you telling me that all this time, I-"

"Okay, that's enough of that." Histoire's voice cuts in from... somewhere above you.

You whirl to face her, but before you even catch a glimpse of the false fairy's book, a bolt of lightning blasts Noire right off her feet; the goddess's screams cut off when she slams against the pavement, but the electricity keeps coursing through her prone form.

"Noire!!" You're roughly shoved out of your burrow as Neptune and Iffy elbow past you; you roll to your feet, taking in the scene with a glance. IF's already got her punching daggers ready, Noire's convulsing on the ground, Nep's looking... Armok help you, you've never seen her /crying mad/, and it's not something you want to see again.

And 'Histoire' is leisurely floating above you, perched on a large book, just like in your dreams. You'd wager she's perfectly indistinguishable from the normal Histoire, but you're reasonably sure the real deal doesn't fucking immolate goddesses with lightning bolts.

You're pretty sure they're hers, anyway. The lightning bolts aren't even coming from her hands or being channeled or anything- they're just /there/, arcing down from the sky, like 'Histoire' just set off the charge and let 'em rip.

... and the cherry on top is, of course, how this book fairy isn't actually showing up in Therapist.

'Histoire' opens her mouth to say something-

>>
>>47951739
That wouldn't work in Gamindustri proper unless Urist has the explicit permission of the nation's goddess, and enough space to work with- and even then, raw duplication is a strange situation! (Her current fortress is a special case of Urist putzing around outside of Leanbox's borders, getting a power-up, and making her DF Arena 'region' a reality).
>>
>>47951739
I think that would overload the reality of Gameindustri. Well, at least we get to see what happens when Reality bluescreens. I think it just collapses and we are all thrown into, essentially, the Planescape equivalent.
>>
>>47951739
We just need to lure under a drawbridge and WHAM, atom smasher solves the problem.

What does Arfoire even want? What's her motive or goal? Surely there must be a way to settle things without bloodshed. Does she want to rule? We can probably create a new region out at sea and give her her very own island, if she wants.

Well, if they had to witness the same event that brought the bluescreen of reality, then their brains would basicly do a hard reset, aka in humans known as an epileptic shock.

Well, if Arefoire would found her own nation on an Island far away, it would be with a few hack adventurers and be called Malum, because I don't think that Laputer could be founded by someone as shady as her.
>>
>>47951923
She did have her own nation.

Well, not her specifically, but the seven sages.
>>
>>47951923
True. I like to think she'd be unoffical allies, at least, although offically, as far as any of the other nations are concerned, no one in Laputer ever associates with Arfoire and her band of pirates. (But we all know there's no other way some of those goods fron the Consoles would ever be able to exist on Laputer without her.)

No, Laputer would have started as a loose collection of allies, including Doom, Keen, and the original Adventurer herself. Nowadays it's a trade hub with no offical goddess and Vavlie's empire at the top, though Ubi, Eia, and the Good Old Guild are starting to catch up.
>>
>>47952006
Well, if we go in that direction, Laputer would have two rivals, who think that they are stronger than they really are.

One would be the Citystate of Litux, which is govern by the great Houses and their offsprings, who mainly work in maintenance or as specialists. Its population is highly specialised, respected and arrogant. Also Tourists are easily lost in the city itself.

The other one would be the People's Republic of Mallum (Latin: Bad, Evil, Apple (look it up)) who seems good on the surface, but below is reigned by demagogues in their literally Ivory Towers and indifference towards the population.

You're honestly not sure /what/ this bitch was planning to say. Maybe she would've gloated, or said something smarmy in that clipped-tones voice of Histoire's. Or maybe it would've been something more harmful, like commands to some distant group of operatives, who would've made your lives far more complicated.

Instead, you take no small amount of satisfaction from winging your phone-and-rock combination straight at 'Histoire's' head, hitting her with enough force to bowl her off her book and knock a few tiny teeth from her tiny bloodied mouth.

You were moving even before your makeshift projectile connected, boots ringing out against the pavement as you make a mad dash for Arfoire's little clone. Extending one arm out, you transform one liquid metal gauntlet into a war hammer, the magical alloy drawing material out into the open.

'Histoire' rights herself when you're five paces out, a distinctly Arfoire-ish expression twisting her doll-like features. "You shouldn't have done that," it hisses, nearly flooring you with the sheer hatred dripping from every word.

Your warhammer smashes into Histoire, but you don't have time to celebrate- /something/ clips your leg and spins you wildly off-course. Cursing all the while, your lunge turns into a painful crash-landing, and you skid across the pavement a few times before sliding to a stop.

- CPU Black Heart.

For a moment, you're really not sure what the hell you're looking at. Lastation's goddess is still coursing with electricity, and steam streams off her slim form in odd patterns- no, it's her armor, it's streaming from her goddamned /armor/. That's no battle bikini, not anymore, not with the sheer amount of bulky metal jutting out from her arms, her back, her helmet.

You're less worried about all that than you are about her terrifyingly blank eyes, her blue pupils impossibly wide, their usual 'power' symbol replaced by a flickering cross.

"Noire!?" A burst of light temporarily illuminates the ground in front of you, and Neptune's high-pitched yelp gives way to CPU Purple Heart's deeper voice of command as she keeps talking, this time to 'Histoire.' "What have you done to her?"

"How rude," the copy coughs painfully, her voice faint from how hard you fucked her up; she crawls to her feet, broken in a thousand places, using her book to keep herself upright. "I haven't harmed a hair on her head. Why, I've gone ahead and given CPU Black Heart a direct injection of what all you goddesses want the most: shares."

Wincing painfully, you begin the laborious process of getting back up to your feet. Fucking hell, if you'd been /any/ slower in going on the attack, you would've gotten absolutely murdered by CPU Black Heart. You... you have to finish off this bitch before she does anything else-

"I suppose this puts her abilities one generation higher than the rest of you, and two higher than CPU Purple Heart..." 'Histoire' continues, sinking back to her knees. "How does calling her 'Next Black' sound?"

Neptune's warning growl puts even you on edge. "Stop joking around-"

You blink and miss the impossibly quick burst of action- all you hear is the sound of metal striking metal, and Noire and Neptune have already separated, their respective swords still ringing from the clash. They dash back in again, and as they continue fencing, Iffy grabs you and hauls you roughly to you feet.

"- have to evacuate the Basilicom- at this rate, the entire city block, and- are you even listening to me!?"

You're not listening to IF. You're too busy staring upward and smiling like a goddamned doofus, as a rainbow arcs across the sky. Sure, everything is absolutely fucked right now, and you don't really see how anything can UN-fuck it, not even 'Histoire's' death, but... well.

Big sis Estelle's finally arrived.

ALRIGHT, it's 3 am, which is plenty late even though it ain't no weekday!

We'll hopefully have the next thread on TUESDAY, 6/28, at 9-ish pm EST! As always, updates will be at twitter.com/BlorpQuest, and questions can go to ask.fm/BlorpQuest (and I'm finally making a dent in that backlog, probably)!

As always, thanks for participating and uprooting a large chunk of what I had planned; hope you all enjoyed the thread, and I'll catch you next time!

So, endurance fighting, with the best case being to snap Noire out of it.

Thanks for the thread Blorpy

MAYBE
POSSIBLY

Thanks you for writing!

See you...lets see...3 delays...add a week end...on July 5th 6PM EST!

>but you're reasonably sure the real deal doesn't fucking immolate goddesses with lightning bolts.
I'm sure she really, really wants to though.
>[ ] [DO NOT PASS GO] Throw something at her and go in for fisticuffs because FUCK monologues and FUCK her.
>>
>>47952123
Heh, so that happened, and we can not force her share back down by bombarding her with mediocre adaptations of IPs into PS games.

On the other hand....... I have a plan: DFHack, try to get into Noires code and divert the shares a bit into another processes or even another structure. We only need a 80 + and we have both diverted the infusion and created an at least instable Uni.
>>
>>47952006
Leanbox would also have an odd connection with Laputer. While Vert doesn't rule there she still has no small amount of influence there, and she'd have an odd open borders policy between the the two kingdoms.
>>
It was inevitable
>>
>>47952163
Thx for running Blorp
>>
>>47952198
Well, it would npot be too far fetched that Vert has Big, Little and Half sister, which live in Laputer.

So the takeaway from this is that yes, the goddess of computers would be unbelieveably powerful, since I'm pretty sure my desktop rig is more powerful than the XBox Next or whatever they're calling it.

Also shares are a thing you can inject to give more power? That combined with the picture name is making me feel... determined.

Oh yeah and also we're screwed hahaha there must be someone better suited to fighting all these mind controlled goddesses out there
>>
>>47952227
Wait, we're on 7 already?
I thought we'd only had 3?
>>
>>47952197
Nope. We'll use Nepgear to link to Noise and drain her of her overload . . . .

AND TO ALSO MAKE NOIR AND NEPTUNE indirect ACTUAL SISTERS! MUWHAHAGAHAHA
>>
>>47952281
Counting the original games, yes, on 7. It can also be read as V2.
>>
>Next Black
Unicorn Vert when?
>>
Wait. We made Neptune a little sister goddess that needed shares to survive, right?

We just had to attune her to Nep's Sharicite.

Could . . . could we make Noir a little sister goddess maybe?

*Cue Vert breaking through ALL OF THE WALLS between her and us to get herself the next little sister goddess.*
