Turnshift! ==>
Begin new game...
hW has entered the Land of Islands and Oceans! (hunterWarrior; Dame of Sound; tankenginesprite; denizen Ahriman; javelinkind; captionlouge modus) (Race: Floran) tS has entered the Land of Wet and Might! (turnstileStopper; Bane of Might; cowbirdsprite; denizen Kaput; suitkind; DRUG BAG FUCK modus) (Race: Troll) fG has entered the Land of Space and Seas and Frogs! (frogGoddess; Grace of Space; frogsprite; denizen Yasaka; danmakukind and chakramkind; Hyperspace Arsenal modus) (I think you know who this one is.) lT has entered the Land of Tides and Time! (longTidal; Prince of Void; mammothsprite (lit. mammoth+moth;) denizen Kalop'ting; gunkind; Deck modus) (Race: Human) yM has entered the Land of Geothermal Vents and Abyssal Trenches! (yighskjMiohj; Maid of Time; duckwoodsprite; denizen Wargleflargle; surfboardkind; fishing modus) (Race: We don't really know.) zP has entered the Land of Diving and Caverns! (zombiePigman; Sylph of Doom; enderpigmansprite; denizen Vechs; signkind, tntkind and lavabucketkind; miner modus) (Race: Zombie Pigman. You might know this guy...)
First Guardian: nicknamed the Midgard Serpent by most of the players because it's a hella freaking long-ass snake-like serpentine wyrm. Belongs to yighskjMiohj.
As you can see, the frog goddess and the Bane of Might are pretty much screwed over from the start, although the Grace of Space will actually never run out of air. Thankfully, the message got out in time from the Bane's place after she accidentally created a scuba suit, and everyone was able to deliberately prototype their Kernelsprites to screw the enemies over, more or less.
EVERYTHING IS UNDERWATER. Except for the Floran, everything is underwater. Even the Quest Spires, even Prospit and Derse and Skaia, hell, even the Underworlds are flooded to the center. It's like a mad god took the lands to the bathtub and played with them in its bath. The reason the Floran is not drowning is because...
THE LAND OF ISLANDS AND OCEANS SPAWNED BISECTING THE VEIL. For a good ten kilometers around the Floran's house, there is no water. It's also airless and full of radiation, but that's still not a problem when you have nanosuits.
What are the Exiles (the Black and White Kings) to do?

This is almost as bad of a drug bag fuck as the modus with the same name.
Giving everybody scuba suits or reproduced nanosuits so everyone is water-capable is a good first step, dreamselves included too if they haven't already. Blood color and psionics of turnstileStopper?
Hmmmmmm....
Well, assuming the consorts are aquatic, the game can be played normally for the most part.
Set up atmosphere generators all over the airless section of LOIAO, then have the Maid of Time do the timey thing to eradicate all the radiation with active temporal manipulation if the whispering anti-radiation effect that is exemplified by the Beat (because time doesn't get along well with space and space's association with radiation by proxy sics the passive whisperings effect that prevents radiation from sticking around too long at its best and brightest around the time player) doesn't get rid of it.
I also seem to perceive that Skaia's atmospheric generation effect is either bugged as far as range thus cutting off the Veil and possibly somehow not Derse of fresh air, has been replaced with water rather than air, or both.
This might be survivable. Also, have the space player do some genetic alterations to the genesis frog template so it retains gills as an adult and thus can survive in an aquatic Skaia.

The Floran finds the source of the radiation: for some insane reason, one of the Horrorterrors had gotten a bit too close when the game started, and was flailing about wildly. She digs it up and sets it free.
Nanosuits are passed around. The anti-radiation suit also comes with infinite breath!
In all cases but fG's and zP's, the denizens and consorts are totally aquatic. In fG's case, the consorts are... Yep, the very same frogs she's supposed to breed.
zP's consorts are squid. Nobody has a clue how Vechs or Yasaka are actually breathing. Then again, Yasaka is indeed a goddess of some sort, but she's been even more of a dick than your standard denizen. I mean, there isn't even a Forge, and Yasaka's got a Hoard and everything! Oh, and she's INSISTING on having the frog goddess breed the frogs/consorts... which is a problem, as she's been doing frog extermination herself. There are only like three female consorts left, and they're nowhere to be found. SON OF A DUCK!

Attempt to alchemize replacement frog consorts from frog iconography and a different consort, probably Frog Icon || [amphibious consort] will do then repeat with a code for a consort of the other gender, then ask them for directions because Sburb logic and faulty scripting will inform them.
Steal a vent from LOGVAAT (any one of the more volcano-shaped vents should do) complete with magma chamber via the Spacey thing or the First Guardian if controllable and then get Yasaka or any other denizens who do space part-time (Yasaka is a heaven-pseudo-sky goddess in most mythologies she crops up in, why is she not a Breath or Stars denizen?) to legally christen it a replacement Forge to be lit if it won't count by default.
Create stainless steel chakrams and other weapons in case any MORE denizenly scripts broke and it comes to a violent slaying so Yasaka can't just do the rusty thing like she did that one time I tried to use Unlimited Iron Swords Gwonam on her. Probably some axes too in case the onbashira density reaches problematic.
Also, we're gonna need the regalia to induce an artificial reckoning later. Is White King's scepter still in session, say, with White Queen? Sometimes she gets it when the session is incredibly fucked up (no prototypings or noirjacking was forced by the game rather than player action tend to require regalia relocation as part of the game's shitty anti-wraith precautions (when those break down incidences of CD starting the Reckoning by blowing up everything with explosives tend to be alarmingly high)) or if White King is selected for exiledom. Don't need to make a move to acquire it yet, just find out where it is.
If it's out of session that makes things vastly more complicated, but not totally impossible due to Sburb's paradox metalogic drivers and core-restriction controls blah blah whatever makes alpha timelines tick the way they do means it's important.
Then again, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. If the kings are still on the battlefield, ask them to exile themselves for their own safety so they don't die and can enforce the will and whimsy of time, politely for now (we can back it up with force and/or complicated teleportation shenanigans later), but keep WK's scepter for reckoning purposes.
In related news, how was the Reckoning's exitside on player entry? Were the meteors, say, not there? Or limited only to confirmed player housing and the not-secret-anymore meteor baby thing, plus exiles in the future? Just the babies and exiles?
Abuse communication with exiles via writing in order to discern nature of exiling and identify how this happened and thus will happen next. Execute according to that if doing so will not get any players killed and said kings and others are not lying as best as can be told.

i would think that resolving this would be part of the Might player's quest. there are reports of a land's generated denizen damage directly affecting another part of the medium; having the whole place drowned does not seem much of a stretch.

Vechs is willing to find the frogs... but he's too busy being a complete bastard (to zP in specific) to do so. However, Kaput is willing to get in Yasaka's way.
In order of dickishness, the denizens are as follows from the top down: Yasaka, Vechs, Kalop'ting, Kaput, Wargleflargle, Ahriman. Kalop'ting is more of freaking out rather than being a dick, so he's quite unresponsive. Ahriman has made a makeshift Forge on the dry land, but adamantly refuses to have the place drained.
The Black King plans to get the White one killed by drunk driving before returning himself, leading to inevitable death by Ender-aligned entities being damaged by water. The two Kings are actually the only Carapacians left in the session, having fled when zombiePigman showed up.
In the reckoning, the meteors were comets that pretty much melted in the atmosphere. Several worlds were flooded, and two players actually decided not to even open the cruxtruders!
Yasaka has now taken out one of the female consorts, and is being very agressive. Also, fG's earthsea is a little buggy, and her Nightmare Heir is actually following her around, herding frogs (and throwing taunts around.) She/it also seems to have some illusions of being descended from a wind goddess, and of being a shrine maiden, and of...
Being something called a "nedben." fG wonders where this knockoff of her friend got that idea from...
(The Nightmare Sanae and Yasaka are currently arguing over the gender of a frog, and look like they're trying to sumo wrestle.) (The Floran is busy using the Horrorterrors to keep an eye on the Exiles.) (Vechs is still being a complete dick. He's added custom mobs called "Guardians" to insult zP. He's also very much astounded at how good signkind is, even in the water.) (Kaput is currently drunk. tS, a nonpsionic, is actually keeping him company. Currently Kaput is recounting his adventures as John Cleese, a Communist Dictator of Quendor on the planet Endor. Before that, he said he was a lemonade golem on Norfair. He was so drunk that he didn't notice that tS grabbed lawsuitkind.) ((OH COME ON I've dropped so many references to fG's identity... although horrorTerror seems to know who I'm talking about, in any case.))

Attempt to discern the nature of universal disease or injury that would cause nedbens to spawn in the first place, nevermind interfere with scripts that shouldn't be active at this point. The disease/injury is obviously a reproductive one, as nedbens are an immune/healing response and thus don't need to be in the reproductive organs unless-
Oh god. The frog has an STD!
...or got kicked in the cloaca so bad it caused injury. Depends. Check for Sburb game mods (there's a FAQ or two on them sitting around on the inter-session over-internet) or extremely damaging glitches (i.e. ones that would impact session fertility/winnability) BESIDES the Earthsea Borealis being activated pre-slaying, as that's already a pretty massive red flag. I think Yasaka acting improperly is enough of a problem because of all the important stuff Denizens are supposed to do in the millions of years of Landly history before player entry and all of it being not happened, but game mods sometimes trigger an immune response due to the viral nature of their transmission. It depends on what dies in ~ATH and how much ^CAKE was eaten, plus DIS* as always. You know the coding drill :U
If no overhauls or other big glitches are visible, look for any rainbow holes in spacetime, and have someone tell Sanae to be a good girl and resolve the incident like a good shrine maiden for the honor of her deity and whatever it is shrine maidens do. If Sanae is really a nedben, she will be able to repair them and that might come in really handy for fG's gracely cataclysm later.
Attempt to have fG use deific polylocation (Suwako can be summoned against herself, she can obviously do this) in order to increase her ability to search for frogs. Attempt to captchalogue a frog-shaped piece of danmaku for alchemy of frogs if frog iconography is unavailable or censored, because I'm pretty sure that if Nightmare Sanae can do it Suwako can too.
Do you think her cataclysm will create more space or something like that one ability that Space players use to shockwave away enemies and slightly expand the spatiotemporally stable boundary of their Incipisphere except way bigger and thus help resolve the flooding problem?
When Kaput is sober/remembers he's a denizen again and/or otherwise wants tS to leave, have tS quest about, I think transfixedThumomancy has an idea.
Find whichever other player is least likely to be eaten by florans and then have them hug the floran to ensure no corruption gets anywhere. Your session has enough problems as it is.

Kaput is now recounting his adventures as Chell's hat, which never really existed. The troll isn't a psionic, but he is psychic. By reading his brain, he discovers that Yasaka got him horribly drunk and left the water in his palace running, knowing that this would surely screw him over for money laundering... and opposing her movement to kill off all the frogs in the session. His mind also mentions something about his real name being... Yaldabalrog. The Floran's pretty darn uncorrupted, for the horrorterrors have left him alone out of respect.

Turn off the faucets. Proceed to pull the Main Drain by having the Floran alchemize a corrupt item and show it to the queen of their dream moon, prompting her to get the nafety for safety and open the Vault in order to dispose of the offending thing, prompting all the water to flow into it and be removed.

Oh no, both of the queens are superded. Remember, ender beings don't mix with water! That's why the Kings fled the Battlefield, remember?
Yasaka's obviously taken steps to foil the best-laid plans of Florans and Zombie Pigmen. zP has completed his task set forth by his Denizen, who is actually sticking around. Completing the Victory Monument has given the Sylph of Doom the absolute last female frog in the session.
So far, Yasaka has done: get a Denizen drunk to ruin the session, leave the water on, puncture both vaults, mass genocide of frogs, physically STRIFE with other players on their worlds, and intent to breed a goddess with a frog. DAMN YOU, YASAKA!
Oh, and she's waging war on everyone. Nobody is pleased at all, not even the Nightmare Heirs. Heck, yM has opened her Underworld already and is actually storing the drowning Angels in the fake house!
That's normally the place where I'd stop and call bullshit, but the Angels have a plan: they think they can edit the prototypings so the Kings can come back to the Battlefield, in which case they will sacrifice themselves to kite Yasaka to the Kings, who will finish her off with RED MILES.
In short: lT has been draining the drains with Kalop'ting, yM has rescued the Angels for a daring get-rid-of-Yasaka plan, fG is trying to avoid Yasaka, Vechs and zP are trying to keep the session kosher, tS is being Kaput's mental therapist, Wargleflargle's thrashing about randomly, hW and Ahriman are trying to turn off the faucets, all the Nightmare Heirs are trying to stay sane and at the same time block Yasaka from trying anything utterly evil, and Yasaka's probably intending some very, very, very perverse stuff with those frogs.
(It's also not helping that the Midgard Serpent is capable of producing an infinite amount of water. It also seems to be able to absorb an infinite amount of water, but it's seemingly deaf or unable to understand the languages spoken by the players.) (Yasaka's been staying FAAAAAAAAAAR away from the Land of Wet and Might. She probably knows that tS grabbed lawsuitkind. Kaput's been informed of this, and he really doesn't seem to care. As a matter of fact, it made him smile. Good job, Bane of Might.)

Do the spacey thing to teleport Wargleflargle to Yasaka in order to distract her while the plan carries itself out.
Hm....Attempt to alchemize Captain Murasa's infinite water cup thingy and use the reversal function to get rid of all the water Minecraft-style?
Abuse alchemy to create moar female frogs. Small game abstraction entities can be captchalogued and codes acquired for them.

the royal vault seems to be a good idea. it *is* findable and openable by a player acting alone; you will need to find the Spirograph Key, however. i believe there are several guides on the subject. make sure the artifacts in the outer vault (the part that does not delete objects) are not drained into the inner vault with the water!

No, Yasaka made SURE to puncture both Royal Vaults straight through exactly fifty-seven thousand, three hundred twenty one point nine eight times. Yasaka catches wind of the plan and holds Wargleflargle hostage. Although it slows her down (you don't go very fast when you're lugging about a 671,900 pound live fish) it's not quite enough to stop her advance entirely. But it very likely bought Suwako a few days at the least. Although she does indeed seem to be fighting off all of Vechs' minions...
Basically, this is a test to see if everyone is willing to band together, no matter how much of a dick they are, to fight off a bigger foe.

Loot the player/denizen slash from the dream moons. Proceed to delay Yasaka for a few minutes while she applies the entire brain bleach content of the Incipisphere directly to her cosmic thinkpans.
...I am pretty sure this is why carapaces even write that in the first place.

Everyone is suddenly blindsided by the fact that Yasaka actually EDITED THE GODDAMN TAGS to surprise surprise -- MAKE HER THE BITCHIN' KING OF DERSE, HELL YEAH!She also managed to get herself flagged as both Angel and Horrorterror. The Black King, startled by the revelation, instantly dies of a heart attack. Ironically, this means that two Reckonings are happening concurrently in the same place: all over the server. The "late heavy bombardment" causes the Midgard Serpent to snap out of it and take action. Suddenly, the session drains: but the battlefields of Skaia are replaced by a Primordial Sea of ultra-condensed water. Yasaka takes a step towards Suwako. Kaput finally snaps out of his drunken stupor and runs into battle... being ridden by his new best friend, the Troll. Vechs puts his foot down, but is onbashira'd out of the way. Yasaka takes a step towards Suwako. The White King uses his RED MILES, but it fails to affect Yasaka. He, too, is onbashira'd. Every single Angel in each Underworld breaks out and forms a ring around the frog goddess. Yasaka takes a step towards Suwako. She pauses for a moment, before destroying every single Angel in her path. All the Denizens remaining throw themselves at the demented goddess, to no avail. Yasaka walks out of a huge pile of Grist seemingly unscathed. Yasaka takes a step towards Suwako, and reaches for the leg of her prey. However, the First Guardian sacrifices its own essence to power an attack to a level infinitely many times as strong as even the GREEN MILES: ORIGIN SPHERE. In a far-off dimension, a GREEN SUN dims as a First Guardian unleashes its own existence. Yasaka is mortally wounded by the sudden attack, but not finished off. Her finger is mere millimeters away from Suwako's skirt before she is struck down by a Zistonian Battlesign, brandished by its namesake himself. All players gain the ultimate weapon: DENIZENKIND ABSTRATUS, which allows literal usage of a Denizen as a weapon. tS uses it to captchalouge his Denizen, hoping to prototype it later. GAME COMPLETE! Start new game? Y/n (horrorTerror, you get the next game.)
