]I'm pretty sure it's game over, guys.
I'm the last one alive, an non-God Tiered Heir of Mind, stranded on the battlefield with a fully-prototyped Black King somewhere who has already started the Reckoning or whatever it's called.
I've scoured my Land for as much useful stuff as I could, completed a veritable fuckton of Consort Quests and Moon Quests (again, not 100% on the name), and i've alchemized what I can. As you've probably guessed, i've still somehow got a living dreamself up there on the gaudy yellow moon's moon, catching some zeds.
All my coplayers are dead. Basically, some bullshit happened on Derse that sparked some kind of anti-royals campaign and all their dreamselves were killed before they knew it. Elvin was asleep at the time, poor dude. Knight of Dreams really loved his purple pajamas. I never got any details on what exactly happened out there, so yeah.
As far as Prospitian dreamselves go, I know that Jen used her extra life right pretty soon after we got her in and closed the loop. Again, not sure on the details, but i'm pretty sure it was Rinny who revived her.
How did our realselves bite the dust? As much as I hate to pin the blame on one of my (ex-)best friends, Jen went PK after alchemising something she shouldn't have with her candy. She took out half of us before we could even react, and eventually me and Rinny managed to finish her off for good. Rinny took a fatal hit, though, and I don't think I managed to kiss her in time for her extra life to take effect.
So yeah. I can't see how i'm getting out of this one. I guess I have two tries at taking out the Black King, if my dreamself can hotfoot it over there in time to touch me before he dissolves.
Once I build up the courage to face my inevitable fate, I guess i'm going in. If I don't make it out of this, keep the Paradoxical Vending Machine thread going in my memory, okay?
Bye, guys. You were the best.

Well okay this seems like exactly the kind of situation the Scratch is for. Probably better to go do that instead of trying to solo the BK- if you can't manage taking that thing down with ranged weaponry, bail as soon as it looks hopeless and go see Echidna for the quills- she knows what's up. Or you can try to navigate the Ring- Mind's okay for that if you've figured out [Neural Climb] and the HTs don't try to make things difficult for you.
also what, did jen get turned into an SD or somethin because yikes that sounds unfun

I didn't actually think about that. Considering how quickly she managed to get to and kill four players on different lands implies she went a little more than just crazy. From what i've heard about Saccharine Doppelgangers, it's possible, but I have no idea what she must have prototyped that candy with to achieve that, I mean holy balls.

...Yikes. Try to do everything you can to survive- but you can't, go down swinging. Good Luck.
Is there anyway to survive the Scratch and/or go God tier?

TO: KT YES, SURVIVING THE SCRATCH IS POSSIBLE BY ENTERING [THE FURTHEST RING], BUT STAYING ALIVE AND NAVIGATING IT? IMPOSSIBLE.
TO: UK BUT WHEN ALL POSSIBLE OPTIONS ARE EXHAUSTED, ALL THAT IS LEFT, IS THE IMPOSSIBLE. AND THE IMPOSSIBLE CAN, THROUGH SHEER FORCE OF WILL AND DETERMINATION, BECOME POSSIBLE. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY OUT, THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE DEATH.
I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE, WHAT LOSS TRULY IS.
I AM CO-7/64, COMMANDER OF THE ELITE LONG-RANGE COMBAT DIVISION. I HAVE PERSONALLY LED THOUSANDS OF GOOD MEN, WOMEN, AND MECHS INTO THE COMBAT ZONE. I HAVE MOURNED FOR EVERY GODDAMN SOLDIER WHO LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF MY FAILURES. THE SOULS OF THREE THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDERED AND FORTY NINE FELLOW SOLDIERS REST ON MY SHOULDERS. AND YET, FOR REASONS I TRULY DO NOT COMPREHEND, MY SOLDIERS STILL PUT THEIR LIVES IN MY HANDS, EVEN GIVING THEIRS FOR MINE. AND I AM STILL FIGHTING A WAR. A WAR AGAINST [SBURB]. *tired sigh* WAR. WAR NEVER CHANGES. NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE.
NOW, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU UK. *AHEM* SENIOR OFFICER MICHEAL, AKA UNREFLECTING KALEIDOSCOPE.
I, COMMANDER CO-7/64, AKA CANNON OVERLOAD, AM GIVING YOU A MISSION OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE MORTALITY RATE OF THIS MISSION IS 99.999999%. THE MISSION: TO SURVIVE AGAINST ALL POSSIBLE ODDS, AND COME BACK HOME SAFELY.
DO YOU ACCEPT THIS MISSION, SENIOR OFFICER?

kT, i've heard rumours of sessions where players have managed to survive the Scratch, but it was nearly always a full team of God Tiers, usually with some other rubbish going on. Pretty sure I heard of one person who somehow fused with their universe's First Guardian and got everyone out of Scratch radius.
cO, i'll do my very best to complete this mission.
Anyway, no use putting it off any longer. I'm going in. If you don't hear from me again, thanks for the support.
Oh, and one more thing? Stay alive until you can find yourselves a way out of this endless loop of death and shenanigans.
Mike out.

Isn't the concept of Scratching designed with the assumption that someone will make it from the old session to the new one? I thought Scratched sessions were voided by default.

TO: IC NO, I MUST BEAR THIS WEIGHT ALONE, FOR IT IS MY DUTY TO DO SO, BUT THANK YOU. ...Okay, I'm calling B***S*** on that. Even if you are robot, you have something approaching emotions, and trying to shoulder all the burderns is... Not the Best of Ideas. Take it from me- in my second session I tried to find a way to escape and take it apon myself to help everyone as much as possible... It didn't end well. At All.

Good news guys, i'm alive. Still not entirely sure how I managed it, but I took out the Black King, made the Genesis Frog (thanks to genesisArtificer for help on that!) and got the Ultimate Reward. I'm now in another session. Thanks for all the advice and support, guys!

TO: KT HAVE YOU EVER CARRIED THE HOPES, DREAMS, AND REGRETS OF A THOUSAND SOLDIERS, WHO LOOKED UP TO YOU, AND DIED FOR YOU? EACH, WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO MOURNED THEIR DEATH, WHEN I TOLD THEM PERSONALLY?
NO. NO YOU HAVE NOT. I MUST CARRY THE LAST MEMORIES OF THEM THAT REMAIN. IT IS MY DUTY, AS THEIR COMMANDING OFFICER, TO CARRY THE PERSONNEL FILES OF ALL WHO HAVE DIED UNDER MY COMMAND. AND THEY HELP ME CARRY THIS BURDEN. THE MEMORIES OF MY TROOPS, COMFORT ME WHEN I AM SAD, AND BOLSTER ME IN THE WORST OF BATTLES. I ONLY SHOULDER THE BURDEN OF MY TROOPS, ALONE.
TO: UK CONGRATULATIONS, KID. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. o]

Good Job, unreflectingKaleidoscope!
Also, cannonOverload, You've already shared your burdern, by telling us about it. ANd we all carry our own demons- just saying that sometimes it's alright to have shoulder to cry on... metaporicaly speaking.
