Fred's Dreambubble

[smashingBrawler]

The box uncovered, one of the many iterations of Sarah 'danced' her way to the revelawesome, picking up the understanding and attempting to return to the others to share it "ThIS IS thE bESt thINg EVER!" One shouted, making sure to tag it properly #Dance party #Gaga ooh la la #Just Dance #Bad Romance #Mashup #Rain Party #Sound Party #Round Party #Hey I just came up with a combination aspect name #I wonder if that's the real name

[horrorTerror]

Some dead player from some random session brandishes tequila and mentions something about a Sound of Rain, as the bubble becomes a dance party club in a denizen palace.

"Oh, yeah, that happened!" Lillian said, dancing on one of the horsechestras as it flew around the party room. #I guess it is? #riding the pony #Round Party

[smashingBrawler]

All of the various iterations of Sarah began making their way back together, finally meeting up as one with Lillian. "AlRIght lEt'A gO. WW hAVE wORk tO dO." That fire was burning in her eyes again. This girl clearly needed some time with a Rhyme player. Or maybe not, she did have millenia of work left.

[horrorTerror]

Lillian shrugged, consulting her abilities list briefly to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything and hopping off the rave party.

"Okay, next core Rain ability to go is Hardchorale. Learning to buff your combat stats with laughter it is." #cosmic laughs

From out of nowhere, a subway station from the Land of Bunkers and Trains bled into the hallway outside, transitioning to another memory. A sadder one, judging by the projection of the bloodstained body of what used to be someone's parental guardian with a series of swords through his chest lying on the floor. Still fresh, indicating whatever did that would likely still be lurking about in the memory of its existence. Lillian frowned at the corpse and stepped around it, choosing instead to look around.

"Ugh, I think this one is a puzzle dungeon." she said disapprovingly, as being not a Sburb player gave her plenty of free reign to complain about it without actually having to know about it. "Memory player's probably still back at the rave party so we're gonna have to solve any if we find them."

[smashingBrawler]

Sarah tried to look at the corpse as little as possible, and had her weapons at the ready. "Is it possible to use Rain to just... break puzzles? I assume it would be a lot faster - Oh, also, should I send dupliclones to go and explore some other places so we can speed things up?"

[horrorTerror]

"It works sometimes, but most of the time Rain dungeons are bedrock under the surface for exactly that. Melt that wall with some peanut-scented goodness, I guess. Go ahead and multiply, just be sure to regroup at some point to remember how you got all the cool stuff." #shrug of goddess #peanut butter rain #nsfs #not safe for stomach #tw #tw: food #tw: peanuts #tw: peanut butter #tw: excessive trigger warnings

She kicks a rock over, causing it to scream like an airraid siren and start playing music.

"Oh, wow, that alarm would've been nasty if there were more monsters in here."

Some form of red-furred giant centipede giant tardigrade-like Underling rears its head in a video feed on a monitor with a security camera under it, a few of the swords on its legs ejected into the floor at high velocities to be replaced by new ones. It hisses at the camera on its end, presumably being shown this end as well, all of its teethy mess chittering with fire, seconded by a creepy laugh, before running through a wall.

"Elmo prototypings have way too much fire." Lillian complains, aware of but only marginally interested in the distant and quiet (but rapidly approaching with a corresponding crescendo) sound of walls exploding and swords being launched. "I mean, it's not even in the show most of the time! I think I'm going to blast that thing in a second or two-"

On schedule, the Underling bursts through the wall and starts screaming fire. Lillian conks it on the head with her suddenly present staff, causing it to anticlimactically explode into grist.

"Weird. Guess we should go puzzle-hunting."

[smashingBrawler]

"SOmEthINg tO dO wIth St.ElmO'S fIRE, mAybE?" Sarah asked, considering the link to be close enough for Sburb standards. A number of dupliclones sprouted from this iteration of Sarah, all running off in various directions. One stayed with Lillian, however. Hardchorale had to be achieved. One of the other clones went and attempted melting a wall - though not with peanut butter, it was distinctly kiwi. #time for puzzles #puzzle league #St.Elmo's fire #tw: Sesame Street #tw: Elmo #tw: Dupliclones #tw: Kiwi fruit #No Kiwi birds here #Oh wait there's one #tw: kiwi bird #tw: kiwi #tw: absurdly excessive trigger warnings

[horrorTerror]

"Valid point. I like your flavors of insanity." Lillian said, watching the wall melt with kiwi-scented insanity.

She shrugged, walking through the hole left by the Elmopeede. #counterproductive Sburb #flux by mist

"Oh hell, there's a puzzle in the boss room."

Labeled on a sign, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" with labeled buttons beneath for options.

"You wanna solve this one? The joke behind it's hilarious."

[smashingBrawler]

Sarah nodded. She went up to the buttons, thinking. By evolutionary logic, the egg would probably come before the chicken. Arguably, the egg would always come before the chicken. She was aware of this, but then again this was Rain and it wasn't like anything ever made sense in Sburb anyhow. Still, egg still felt right. She made her choice, gently pressing down on the 'egg' button. #Egg before Chicken #tw: Charles Darwin #tw: Evolution #Rain logic #Egg #No speaking

[horrorTerror]

A soft ding indicated the answer was correct, and the sign wall slid open.

Lillian quietly presses an easy button. #No Speaking #but so true #That was easy

Behind the puzzle is another puzzle.



"Why did George Washington let the ghost children in?"

[To blame Martha]
[Because the dead will rise]
[CHOGNO REGALIA]
[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
[Your Mother]
[Because dinner requires waffles]

the answer buttons read.

"Trickery." #lol answer this too #did you notice that

[smashingBrawler]

Sarah's eyes narrowed. [To blame Martha] - No, definitely not. [Because the dead will rise] Maybe, seemed too much like doom. [CHOGNO REGALIA] Sarah had no idea what this meant, and put it down as a solid maybe - it probably had something to do with America or something, which did not aid her, as she was Canadian. [aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa solid maybe. [Your Mother] No. [Because dinner requires waffles] Another maybe.

This left her with three options. She thought for a moment Waffles. Rain and Waffles just felt like a right combination, and what felt right worked the last time anyhow. #Canadians #America? #Martha Washington #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #Waffles #Many Options #Rain puzzles

[horrorTerror]

(ohgod i missed this oops sorry for the wait)

"Decided yet?" Lillian inquired. "If comic sans means nothing, make sure to reread context about who let what in. I'm getting a vibe someone wants waffles, is it the Voices too?" #Waffles #Rain puzzles

Lillian was indeed eating a plateful of belgian waffles she had substantiated from the aether, complete with fork and whipped cream. The perks of being a Mist goddess.

"Anyways, if you press the wrong button it'll probably just ding and release some monsters. Sfailureb can only nuke its own players so much."

[smashingBrawler]

Sarah knew the answer was probably [To blame Martha] but she didn't care. Waffles felt right, and so she pushed [Because dinner requires waffles]. She didn't care in that moment if it was the right answer, she just felt that she wanted it to be. #There's gonna be monsters aren't there #Oh well I stand by my choice #Rain puzzles #Going with the flow #Not that flow though

[horrorTerror]

Suddenly, a ceiling panel breaks apart and a large amount of imps with similar prototypings to the previous basilisk-like underling predictably fall into the room.

Lillian shrugs and starts killing them with a waffle fork gM-style.

"Good idea! The more grist you've collected the less pluck Psychogenesis will expend on making stuff!" #Tactical monster spawning #We're both effectively immortal in here so this doesn't matter at all now #Waffles are fun #Rain puzzles

[smashingBrawler]

Sarah pulled out her weapons to deal with the enemies "I mEAN I guESS. I just kinda wanted the waffle answer. Was curious if it would become the answer because I wanted it to be. Rain feels like you can just make things be things because you want them to be, sometimes" #Waffles #Rain #Probably misunderstanding rain #Enemy slaying
