With the absurdly long list of people you rescued from prison, you were bound to have some heartfelt reunions. Families were torn apart, romances were put on hold, and friendships were about to be lost to time. But not now, the bittersweetness of mending these bonds taste delicious! Yet, some are built better than others. The reunion of the Strangeloves has been long overdue before you even touched your first flame, and it was as touching as you wished it to be — you can’t imagine how Constance feels. And, well, Oliver and Jaylene, they are… well, not the most anticipated one… But that doesn’t mean it’s undeserving of a nice conclusion.It isn’t as easy as it sounds. Long ago — after you touched your first flame — the despicable Jaylene invaded this very place (technically not this one, the old clinic) and tried to kidnap the sweet Constance. You had to give your word that Jaylene is Raccoon Tier threat level and friendly at that. One thing led to another, and now you’re learning about Odetta’s medical records through Kata, and in this very tale, a hidden truth has been revealed! The one Judge of enormous ears is related to the rest of the Larsens! Indeed, Esperanza is Jaylene’s aunt! You have no idea how she relates to Agent Spooky, but it might hold some significance!It’s so obvious looking at her now… Jaylene’s ears are as huge as Esperanza’s! Even the nose is similar!“We didn’t know Odetta’s name back then, but once we figured it out. My other cousin Heidi made the connection. I took care of Ms. Odetta Larsen here… And my uncle did the same with a poor girl named Esperanza Larsen… She’s your aunt, isn’t she?” Nurse Calamity retells with gusto.“I-I had another aunt…?” Jaylene can barely keep her mouth shut from this revelation.“Yeah, another one that you didn’t get to meet because of some freak accident. Great.” Odetta assumes something terrible happened to Esperanza. Which is kind of right!“Tstststs… Johnny, did your mind get blown away from something else aside from our beauty?” Misty teases you. Seems like she’s spending a lot of time looking at you. “You appear to be a little… distracted.”Maybe you should bring this up, maybe you should wait for later. Either way, you must say something…What do you do?>“I think this is the same Esperanza as the judge…” Reveal to the group. Everyone needs to be on the same page.>“Sorry, I got distracted. I’ll bring it up later.” Apologize and continue listening to what Kata is saying. There are some spooky mysteries in there waiting to be revealed.>“Hold on, I need to make sure of something…” Stylize Jaylene’s hair to match Esperanza’s pigtails to make sure 100% that they are related. Passing time with Ms. Cooldown taught you a thing or two.>Write In.

This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared! (NEW) Dice Mechanic: We always roll 1d100s!Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)! When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked. Rolling 100 is a critical! There are no Critical Failures anymore! The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result! Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describ-ing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight. Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

You can’t jump to conclusions just yet, your scientific brain knows that you have to run tests to prove or disprove your hypothesis. Jaylene and Esperanza have humongous vinyl disk-like ears, but one striking similitude doesn’t mean they’re blood relatives, or else Nina would be related to park bushes. Maybe it’s why your teacher liked meeting at the park... Suspicious, but it’s not the time for that. You have to run your analysis!“Hold on, I need to make sure of something…” You apologetically retort to Misty as you approach Jaylene. “May I touch your hair?”“Uh, sure?” Jaylene isn’t sure where this is going.“What’s gotten into you?” Odetta doesn’t like the way your eyes look at her dumb sister.“It’s important.” You worthily say.“Sounds disturbing, go ahead.” Odetta gives you her approval.“I need a couple of hair bands and a comb.” You adjust your glasses.“Here, treasure.” Misty says as both show you what you need. The Calamities are ready to provide!You spend a couple of minutes transforming this Larsen into another…! It’s… it’s… It’s similar enough! Jaylenesperanza is done! Not even a body-swapping Buffalo could make this uncanny match!“My… god…” You’re in shock at your own creation.“PfFfFTftt…” Odetta finds the hairstyle ridiculous! You believe you did a good job. Kata also tries to hide her laughter. Misty pokes at her from afar with her long nails.“W-W-What? Is there something on my head?!” Jaylene is scared.“Yeah, your face.” Odetta deadpans.“Handsome, care to explain?” Kata is playing with Jaylene’s left pigtail to show her there’s nothing to fear.“We’d love to hear your secrets…” Misty is playing with Jaylene’s right pigtail because she’s a menace.“There’s no doubt in my mind.” You get dramatic. “I think the Esperanza we were talking about is the same Esperanza as the judge…”“W-WHAT?!” Jaylene can’t believe it! Woah, she can make the same goofy expressions as her aunt!
>>6170692“You mean like the role Constance plays?” Kata wants to be assured. From what you understand, Constance keeps all judge-related topics confidential due to the self-imposed rules they have — so it isn’t a surprise that Kata doesn’t know every detail. Sadly, she should know about Giorsal since she visited before... “Indeed! The one I met in the Bubble.” You add.“Ah, you mean the one responsible for the tournament our cousin won.” Kata giggles. She’s proud of all Calamity achievements no matter the size!“Sounds quite important…” Misty guesses by you three’s reaction.“What does it mean for us in the big picture?” Odetta asks, more serious than usual.“She’s the Judge who Fiora wants us to find.” You clarify.“Of course, it goes back to that witch...” Odetta rolls her eyes. She should be more grateful, Jaylene is out of the picture thanks to her help.“I-If there’s anything I-I can do to help, please, allow me to make it up for you all.” Jaylene wants to be useful for once. Errr, you didn’t have to be mean, the Odettaness is infecting your brain…“As long as this ray of sunshine keeps holding onto her secrets, we won’t know exactly how to help…” Kata redirects the conversation back to Odetta.“Almost forgot we were talking about you, girl.” Misty turns her eyes back at Spooky. “Could a special little treasure like you tell us why you found yourself bedridden?”“If that’s what you all wanna know, you gotta ask nicely. Lose some dignity for your friend Odetta, okay?” Odetta feels disrespected so she wants revenge.It’s never easy with her, is it?What do you do?>“Okay, Apology Machinegun. You’re the expert. Show us!” Tell Jaylene to do this for all of you.>“Did you girls never hear about Esperanza? What gives?” Inquire about the Larsen family dynamics.>“Please, tell us about your past, Little O!” Ask nicely!>“Odetta, I humbly offer you what I humbly offered the others: a kiss. And if that’s not good enough, how about something to eat?” Wiggle those eyebrows.>Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we return tomorrow!)
>>6170693>>Write In.Counter offer, we fix delicious food for her info
>>6170808+1
>>6170808Sure, this
>>6170808Yeah
The primary cause of a child’s tantrum, the impotent rage of frustration, and other vengeful activities come from the same place: an empty stomach! If not, it’s not a well-balanced diet. Regardless, that’s what Odetta is going through, and the solution is one and the same! Good quality homemade food! And you’d be overjoyed to provide it!“How about I fix you some delicious food instead?” You wiggle your eyebrows.“Oh, man! I can’t wait to start convulsing on the floor or have my hair magically dyed red!” Odetta sarcastically retorts as she swings her arm. “Sorry, big man. But I’m going to pass.” She shakes her head rapidly.“You’d look great in red though, it’d match your energy.” Jaylene can picture it.“How about having a fuckin’ seizure on the god-forsaken floor? Do you want to see that too?” Odetta glares back. Jaylene just whistles.“Shouldn’t be too dissimilar to the tantrum you’re throwing...” Misty jokes.“So reassuring to hear with you being a nurse and all.” Odetta throws shade back.“Sweetheart, I’m the only one with a license.” Kata points out.“Somehow…” Misty coughs.“Please, forgive Misty, she has no idea how to finish any college degree...” Kata fires back. Misty pinches Kata’s butt with her long nails. “E-Ey! Quit it! You were the one who started it!”“I’m trying to be charming, but you’re just being rude, love.” Misty doesn’t like the low jabs.“All I asked was for people to be nice to me, and now everyone is fighting… What a cruel world...” Odetta pretends to be sad for a moment.“Hm? You cute little thing started it by rejecting Johnny’s kind offer.” Kata recalls.“To feed me poison? Yeah. I don’t want to go back into a coma.” Odetta sniffs loudly.“I’ll prepare anything you want. You can watch me do it too.” You propose.“Can you just buy me some food? I liked the pizza we ate. It was as greasy as Jaylene’s hair.” Odetta asks back.“No.” You’re feeding her food with love!“M-My hair is not greasy!” Jaylene is trying to convince you all. Misty pokes at it again.“Fine, we’ll do what you say. I’ll talk…” Odetta sighs. “If big nails pinches the Nurse again.”“Aww~!” Kata gets pinched on the butt!“Done deed, love. Please, the floor is yours.” Misty reports herself ready. Kata will remember this.“I-I couldn’t even bring up not to do it… Y-You don’t have to do everything Odetta asks you to do. Took me years to realize...” The conversation moves too fast for Jaylene.
>>6171175“It’s not much of a story.” Odetta taps her chin. “Happened on the job, I was scouting a particular area for a client, and during it, my team betrayed me and disappeared with my body.”“Betrayed…?” Jaylene looks afflicted by this news.“I’m not sure I follow, Ms. Odetta. How does one disappear with *your* body?” Misty doesn’t quite get it, and with good reason, she’s not aware of all this spiritual/magical nonsense.“I can astral project, leave my body behind to spy on people, organizations, and whatever else there is in the middle.” Odetta goes straight to the issue. “So I left my body without a soul, hence the coma, and then got me back with the help of a group of… buddies... hence why I miraculously recovered.” Odetta looks fondly back on the group of people who helped her…“That’s why they told us that technique is forbidden, Odetta…” Jaylene scolds.“You’re not the one to talk, Ms. Perfect Portrait.” Odetta does a square with her fingers on top of Jaylene’s face.“Aren’t we missing those juicy, juicy details?” Misty is a tad disappointed.“Oh, Misty, you’re so impatient. If you pry so openly, our storyteller will shut her heart.” Kata mocks her cousin. “Oh, generous Odetta, please! Be merciful and delve deeper into your thrilling tale! To satiate this desperate woman’s curiosity!” Kata points at her cousin…“Ugh, what do you wanna know?” Odetta doesn’t feel too comfortable sharing about herself.Well, it’s the perfect time to ask more specific questions. You love to listen to people ramble!What do you want to know?>Ask who Odetta was spying on, and for what reason.>Ask who her client was. You’re a little curious.>Ask who were the people who betrayed her. Ask her if she wants payback.>Ask who were the people who helped her! They seem nice!>Ask what she wants you to prepare.

Since Odetta is willing to answer queries, why not make them? This isn’t a school class where you wish the teacher didn’t ask an open question. You care about what this ghost is saying!“You sure?” You know she’s not comfortable talking.“I usually don’t spend time talking about myself, that’s all. ” Odetta puts both hands behind her head. “But I gotta. Jaylene is what’s left of my family, you’re not awful, and the Nurse saved my ass. But the fake nurse, I don’t know about her…”“Don’t mind me. I’m an avid but respectful spectator in debt to you for your efforts.” Misty giggles. What a freeloader…“Then you don’t mind me asking who were the people who betrayed you? Do you want payback for what they did?” You begin questioning as you bring out the Snackos! “It’s story time!”“…” Odetta looks at her gloves, and grins after a moment of pause. “Revenge isn’t for me, bud… It never goes well. Tempting, but so exhausting. I am petty, but that’s as far as I go. It’s easier to throw your life away when you don’t give a shit anymore.” A glimpse of Odetta’s true feelings appears in her words! “As for who they are, well, they were my coworkers at a makeshift office from a Survey company. All shady shit. Only job we could find with our qualifications. Not like we applied, our numbskull boss scouted us from the streets. Lending a helping hand to those down on their luck or some shit. My coworkers bought the nonsense, so I played along to not be homeless. Thought I fit in, but shit ended up swimmingly, didn’t it?”“And their names are?” Misty wants real details.“My boss was Tarvo Hathor… I know he was the one behind selling me out, my coworkers were Krista Wallace and Valentin Brunn.” Odetta recalls from memory.“I might look into them in the near future.” Misty has evil plans prepared.“On a more ‘restoring faith in humanity’ note, who were those buddies that you mentioned? The ones that helped you out?” You ask.“Yeah! I need to thank them personally!” Jaylene wants to meet them!“Eeeeh… I’m not sure I’d use that angle for *all* of them…” Odetta has apprehensions about her saviors. You’re glad she doesn’t have the same impression about you, right? Right…?“What makes you say that?” Jaylene is concerned.
>>6171538“You know what, Jaylene. It doesn’t matter.” Odetta puts her fist on top of Jaylene’s shoulders. “They thought I was a haunting spirit inside of their apartment. Their names are Bruce Auburn, Alfred Brown, and…” Odetta sighs. “Margaret Duchemin…” Odetta sighs again. “and Catastrovania Something…” Odetta puts her hands back on her head. “And the last one doesn’t matter because I barely know him and he went to live in the mountains. Oh, there’s one more guy, he’s related to that Carmella girl from the prisoner bunch. His name is Camilo.”“…” Kata’s smug smile disappears upon the mention of a certain name.“Woah, there’s a lot to unpack here.” You feel like you can make connections with a bunch of them! One of them is Jesse’s friend for example! Well, except with that Catastro-something. There’s only one Kata and she’s right here!“My pal Al was at the wedding we busted, small world, eh? Too bad we didn’t cross paths, we HAD to do a lot of NONSENSE, didn’t we?!” Odetta has really fond memories of all of them! It’s heartwarming to see! It’s not like you’re ignoring the fact she’s upset at you for being an idiot during all that.“So that’s the friend you had to talk with!” Jaylene smiles.“Guy’s annoying when he’s concerned. Knowing that you all have my back should help him stay put, right?” Odetta is trying to hide the fact that she wanted her friend to know that her sister is fine…“Heidi must’ve had a blast meeting you all.” Kata giggles.“Loved squatting for her, almost broke my ankle…” Odetta shakes her head. What the hell happened in there? You’d ask, but…“Tell me, Odetta. What food do you want me to prepare as compensation for sharing your stories with us?” You wiggle your eyebrows.“Up to Jaylene. It’ll be a welcoming gift because I’m so generous.” Odetta can be nice sometimes…“Sure, but I can cook something else for you! May I suggest the Lonely Lady Heartbreaker for dessert?” Your eyebrows continue dancing.“What a name…” Misty isn’t sure that’s an actual recipe, but she’s intrigued.“It’s quite the taste, I imagine.” Kata giggles.“I’m good…” Odetta is fine as is. What a difficult girl to please...“Oh! Oh! I’d love to eat that one!” Jaylene will take you up on that offer. “And, um, pssst! Johnny! Come closer…” She waves you to her.“Dear, you’re not going unnoticed if you do that in front of everyone…” Kata is starting to believe Jaylene is not the brightest.
>>6171541“What’s up?” You follow orders anyway despite not being discreet in the slightest.“I will tell you what Odetta's favorite dish is later…” Jaylene wants to do you a solid! You wink back, and she smiles! It’s a deal.“...Now I’m concerned.” Odetta won’t hide her feelings.“It’ll be fiiiine.” You dismiss her worries. “I gotta know, what are you planning to do now? Tell us what the future holds for Agent Spooky!”“I was supposed to meet this judge girl as you promised me, right? I’ll put that on hold because I’m not messing with a father-daughter reunion…” There’s bittersweetness in Spooky’s words. She shares a passing look with Jaylene. “Truth be told… I have this piece of paper. It’s part of a map. I’m guessing it has to do with the crystal nonsense you are all part of. I was going to keep the reward for myself, but why don’t you try to convince me to share my bounty with you? I’m listening.”“Where did you find this?” Misty is intrigued.“Inside a bucket.” Odetta deadpans.“W-Wait, this is a map to find a crystal?!” Jaylene is in absolute shock.“That’s my best guess. I verified it holds significant importance when I was doing rounds for Fiora’s investigation on the White Flame fellows.” Odetta explains. “Interested?”You weren’t prepared for something like this to pop out of nowhere. Maybe it’s sensible if you take some time to evaluate your words, or maybe going with the flow is fine…What do you do?!>Let Odetta keep her map. You don’t need it! Thank her for her offer though.>Tell Odetta that she’s officially invited to join your ragtag group of individuals known as the Nameless! This goes beyond the map, she’s pretty useful!>Tell Odetta you can discuss this over the dinner you’re going to prepare for her at a later time! You all are tired...>Write In.What’s next after Jaylene’s apology?>Meet with all the Calamities before the Jaylene-Oliver reunion.>Make an impromptu Nameless Meeting! Gather everyone before the Jaylene-Oliver reunion!>Write In.

If Odetta is open to collaborating, it’d be wise for you to take it to the next level as soon as possible, so she knows you’re being legit! Having her around is fun for you and she’s pretty useful.“Beyond this supposed map, I’m more interested in you joining our ragtag group of individuals.” You throw the idea out there.“Oh? Want us to be partners in crime? Share the spoils?” Odetta grins.“Mhm, let this be an official invitation.” You adjust your glasses. “What do you say?”“I’ll tag along as long as you keep me entertained…” Agent Spooky will join your efforts! Congratulations! She has no idea what she’s getting into!“Wow…” Jaylene has never seen her sister agree to do something so easily. She has a lot of respect for you!“Aww, how coy. No need to play so hard to get when we can tell all you want to say is ‘yes’, cutie pie.” Kata makes fun of your teammate’s attitude.“Projecting much? Was the weird cake named after you?” An unimpressed Odetta raises a single eyebrow.“Ouch...” Misty can’t help but to start laughing.“O-Odetta, stop upsetting people.” Jaylene is concerned.“Come on, you can’t dish it out without takin’.” Odetta knows the principles of verbally assaulting people.“Oh, I’m so glad you’re going to stick around, there’s nothing more amusing than watching an adorable piece of love like you open their hearts to the world...” Kata has bad intentions. “I’ll make you understand how liberating it is to be honest.” This sounds like a threat.“You’re in trouble, girl…” Misty knows that look in her cousin’s eye.“Eh, she knows I survived worse.” Odetta likes poking the bear. “Is she part of the group? Who *is* part of the group? We were a one and done deal with most of them, right?” Odetta asks you.“Officially, it’s just me, Bubbles, and Honey Bunny. Pretty sure everyone is likely to stick around though, at least Cheese and Headphones. But who knows?” You respond. “That’s… fewer people than I expected.” Odetta finds this peculiar.“Seems like Handsome recruits only the people who he’s tired of being chased around by...” Kata throws some shade! “A way to control his most annoying lovebirds...”“Tstststs... Being lovestruck is so difficult for everyone involved…” Misty joins in the slander. Odetta isn’t amused still.“Uhm…” Jaylene raises her hand. “Wasn’t I supposed to apologize?”“Yeah, to the lil’ girl. Detour is over.” Odetta adds like she forgot.“Oh, right this way, dear. Constance is a kind soul, there’s no need to be nervous...” Kata will lead the way. “But understand that you were very unkind.”“I know…” Jaylene’s face is all guilt…
>>6171645You arrive at Constance’s room! It’s more or less the same as always, both Strangeloves are here, chatting with each other. Upon arrival, you’d normally say that Constance couldn’t be happier to see you — but with her dad by her side, you learned her smile can go beyond what you knew!The nosy group explains the situation to the mummy and her father, then you leave the floor to Jaylene as everyone silently judges her every action…“I-I’m sorry for everything I have done… For what I made you go through… I was too blind to see the hurt I caused, and I will never do it again.” Jaylene bows. “I’M SORRY!”“It’s a-alright! Um, I’m sorry too… I almost did something I’d regret forever too...” Constance feels guilt.“Huh?” Jaylene is confused now.“Um, I… almost took your life too…” Constance sounds very apologetic.“You ---what?!” Jaylene had no idea.“What?!” The Calamity girls shout in unison.“What the hell?!” Odetta is in shock.“Oh yeah, Constance was pissed after you guys tried to kill me, so she grabbed both of your flames and mushed them together.” You remember fondly. Good times. “Had to stop her.”“Oooh.” The Room gets it now and nobody blames Constance. It’s all self-defense! Jaylene and Oliver were 100% in the wrong.“You saved me…” Jaylene can’t believe it! The only reason she and Oliver are alive is because you’re an idiot, err, merciful! A merciful idiot!“Hmm, powerful girl…” Odetta kinda respects Constance for the hustle, and you for being level-headed.“...” Constance is ashamed of her past actions… But nobody is blaming her for anything.“Please, if there’s anything I can do to repent. I’ll accept any punishment…” Jaylene is ready to go back to jail. Again. “I don’t want to punish you… Just be nice to other people and I’ll be happy!” Constance only wants a better world. “Uhm, and your sister will be lonely without you, no?”“Today is a day where families reunite, who are we to take that away from you?” Solomon adds. He most likely told his daughter the details of the ghosts’ reunion.“But…” Jaylene doesn’t want to leave scot-free.“Dear, instead of carrying this guilt, why don’t you help this old man with a thing or two? It won’t be dangerous, I promise.” Solomon smirks. “It’s all for my daughter.”“S-Sure! Ask me for anything!” Jaylene likes having a way to retribution!“Good girl.” Solomon is content! Odetta sighs in relief. The Calamity girls smile together.“J-Johnny! Can I show you the thing now? Or would you like to do it later? We can do it in the Bridge between Worlds if you’re busy!” Constance asks for your attention.You were planning on going to the Calamity meeting, but…

Oh man, you can’t disappoint Constance! It’s her big day! You don’t think anyone would mind this tiny detour.“Sure, let’s do it now.” You nod. No need for more delays. It’s hard for you to keep up with all the stuff you have to do if you continue leaving them for later.“Uhm, everyone, can you give us a little moment alone? It’s not going to take long, I promise.” Constance asks nicely. She’s holding her dad’s hand, so you don’t expect him to go. Anyway, why did her words feel like a pun...?“Of course, sweetheart. Take all the time you need. We’ll be around if you need us.” Nurse Calamity will always prioritize Volleyball Head’s happiness. “Misty, our dear uncle wanted to see us. Shall we go now?”“Very well, with everything sappy out of the way, we can have fun with him.” Misty is in a cheerful mood. “See you later, you two.” Misty and Kata blow some kisses.“Should we wait outside or do something else, Jaylene?” Odetta wasn’t planning to be left alone again.“Mmm, why don’t we meet with your new teammates?” Jaylene proposes. Spooky shrugs. That seems to be their plan of action.“See ya in a bit, tall boy, lil’ girl, and potential psychopath.” Odetta waves goodbye to whoever is left. Jaylene reassures she’ll fulfill her part of the deal as they go.You’re left alone with Constance and Solomon. This feels like it’s more important than you originally thought.“What an entertaining bunch, no wonder my daughter never lost her smile...” Solomon cleans his sunglasses with his shirt.“So, what’s up?” You wonder.“Don’t ask me. It’s my daughter’s request.” Solomon has no clue.“Actually…” Constance channels the energy from what is resting on her wounded eye…The dark tints darker as the presence of the Judge is revealed… Athelone is summoned! Last time you saw her, she was the host of the Quiz Duel between Nariko and Tonu at Piss Town! She barely acknowledged you back then, so you expect this occasion to be more chatty!“Oh, John… ny~! What a spectacular performance!” Athelone expands her arms with a gleeful expression! “What a man you have become! Praises to you for fulfilling your promise.”“Wasn’t expecting you to ever congratulate us for anything, Judge.” Philonune talks to the entity. For some reason, everyone caught onto what he said. Perhaps it’s Athelone’s doing?“Fallen Angel, how can I not? You brought so much joy to my precious Crystal Princess. Before? Not so much. You understand I’m all about fairness…” Athelone cackles.“A fallen angel? An enemy of the creator? Positives? Hmm?” That voice doesn’t sound familiar at all. It appears to come from Solomon’s flame!“Pay no mind. The moment is yours.” Solomon puts both of his fingers on his flame’s lips. You’re not sure how that works.
>>6172177“Athelone wanted to personally thank you for reuniting me with my dad!” Constance explains.“A massive reward is due, Johnny, Philonune. These are my offerings, choose the one you see fit…” Athelone clasps her multiple hands together and unveils her wicked long smile…Weird. You already got your reward. But something extra is welcomed, right?What do you want?!>Get another legendary Power Up Marshmallow! What a classic bonus!>Get your own flame color and the benefits that come with it! Your allies will have them too! >Grant one of your allies one of Constance’s flames!

Athelone gives you some enticing options like another delicious Marshmallow… You don’t wanna fart. So you pick the one that can benefit your allies the most!“Getting our own flame color could be cool.” You raise your fist to drive the point! What point? Who knows! You’re excited, that’s all!“Relying on our partners has been a good bet lately.” Philonune agrees.“I wouldn’t have said this before, but now? I knew you’d choose well.” Athelone can’t stop herself from giving backhanded compliments.“If you have a preferred choice, you should’ve said it, dear.” Solomon remarks. “Give all the intel and never leave a detail untouched.”“No matter how alluring the prospect is, there’s no growth when I’m the one making the decisions for them! And my guidance has its faults… Faults that cost my angel tears. Never again.” Athelone won’t forget how her efforts to manipulate everyone ended up costing lives… Bradford, may he rest in peace…“Ah, the difference between feeling in control and being in control is much more apparent when plans go in disarray, right…?” Solomon speaks from experience. “Let’s not weep about the past when we’re cherishing these boys!”“Mhm! And I think it’s the way to go too!” Constance agrees that having a team flame is a good decision! “I love watching Johnny work together with others!”“Then allow me to supply you with tremendous power…!” Athelone pulls out her magical book and her conductor baton to begin her spell, but…“Wait, hold on.” You need a moment!“What… is it? Johnathan?” Athelone HATES being interrupted! She loses concentration, and when she does, well, bad things happen! Like Yu Yan’s memory loss!“What color is it going to be?” You ask.“I’m sure your heart will determine it just like the entity forms!” Constance is sure of it.“...Dear, that’s not how it works. We’re the ones providing it.” Athelone deadpans.“You are…?” Constance finds this odd.“What color were you thinking of?” You ask.“Yellow?” Athelone says the first color that comes to mind.“Yellow?! You want us to be the Piss Flames?!” You frown.
>>6172255“Do not use that language in front of Constance. Call them Lemon Flames or something trite like that.” Athelone gets annoyed. But WITNESSING MURDER is fine, right?!“That’s not better.” Philonune shakes his head.“Trite is not a word with a positive connotation. Now… I have a gift I want to give…” Athelone will not accept any more interruptions.“Athelone, listen to Johnny and Philonune! Nobody wants to be the Pissy Flames!” Constance scolds.“Oh dear…” Solomon facepalms to hide his laughter.“Think about them as the Golden Flames! You humans seem to adore these abstract signals of wealth!” Athelone argues back.“Just let the kid choose the color, dear.” Solomon shakes his head.“Fine. Even though there are exactly **8** people who can see them, I’ll go along with your demands.” Athelone realizes this entire thing is inconsequential, so she’s not going to try. “Okay, Johnny, Philonune, what color do you want?”Your favorite color is Purple, but everyone would be expecting it… Maybe you can choose something else?What color do you prefer>Pick Purple! You love Purple! Ruby loves Purple! It’s time for Purplenune!>Pick Red! Seems like a good protagonist color that no one is using. Boring fucks.>Pick Yellow! Be the Golden Piss Lemons or something. Hate life.>Pick one shade lighter than Black! It’ll look exactly the same, but you know, it’ll work differently!>Write In.What’s next?>Find a member of the [Insert Flame Color here] Flames/The Nameless and give them their new color!

>>6172256>Pick one shade lighter than Black!We're the Lightsbane and all.Besides I don't really want to give away the allegiance of our members (even if there are only 8 people that can see them, they can spread the word).

It’s important to look good in front of anyone, no matter the number. And you have to keep being unpredictable, so you can’t use your favorite. In that case, you’re going to use this color!“I think red is good.” You casually cross your arms. It’s a good protagonist color, fits underdogs too. If you have to take the world by storm, you gotta believe it until you fake it. Wait, that sounds wrong.“Red is perfect.” Philonune likes it, despite never voicing it before.“Red is really cool!” Constance loves this selection.“See? Plenty easy.” Solomon cannot help himself and remarks this to the Judge’s face.“Rejoice, everyone, because red it’ll be.” Athelone is pleased to move forward with this. “Now, allow me a moment to concentrate.” Again, Athelone brings out her spellbook, energy beams flow through it towards Philonune who starts shining as the color slider of life starts turning him into his new shade of red! Woah! After a tiny explosion to accentuate the moment, Philonune has officially turned red! And in the same vein, you’re the Red Flames! Hooray! After some polite clapping, Athelone explains the perks of your new powers. They’re more than what you recalled. In short, you can:>Communicate telepathically with every member of your group. At any time, and any place.>Transfer spiritual energy to one another by touching.As to how to recruit members, you both need to be in agreement that recruitment is happening, then touch each other for a couple of seconds (Athelone recommends a handshake.) All very similar to transferring spiritual energy. That’s all the notes! For now!Why for now? Because Athelone wants you to recruit members first before explaining. It appears these different perks won’t work until you have a decent amount of members.With that out of the way, it’s time to say goodbye for now! You have to meet the Calamities!“Thanks, Johnny…” Constance hugs you before departing, which you embrace her back. You don’t recall ever doing this before, so it feels special. Athelone wanted to make a snide remark but decided to only pat your head for the good work, what a hug wrecker. “Um, I might call you during your sleep, Johnny…”“That’s no problem.” You smile back.“Pick them wisely, son.” Mr. Strangelove gives you a firm handshake after the hug subsides. “But remember, sharing colors or not, I’ll be rooting for you.”“Thank you, I’ll see you soon, you two.” You part ways!Outside of the room, you ask Philonune how he feels.“It’s a one-of-a-kind sensation, partner. I’m glad we share emotions.” Philonune loves not having to explain this shit. It doesn’t feel any different, but it pumps you up. You have an ability only a few flames have! The Judges, the White Flames, and Chernobog… That’s everyone so far! Does it mean you’re one of the biggest deals? No need to get cocky though.
>>6173485You don’t find anyone around waiting, so you bolt to the Nice Doctor’s office...Dr. Calamity welcomes you to one of his seats, in one is none other than the Spaceman himself! No signs of Kata or Misty in here, bad timing, you suppose. Not like you haven’t seen them before. After another eccentric exchange of pleasantries, you sit down alongside Major Tom.“Thank you for joining us!” Dr. Calamity is happy to see you once again today.“Couldn’t decline the invitation, what’s up?” You act like your old cheerful self. You’d brag about your new red flame but no one can see it! Sucks!“This [INQUISITIVE SOUL] is as CURIOUS as this one.” Galactic is as curious.“I want to congratulate you two for saving my niece’s life, Johnny boy, dear nephew. I want to reward you for such a feat.” Dr. Calamity reveals.“All my efforts are FOCUSED on one [MISSION], [Uncle Imminenté]. [HAEIOU!]” Galactic is an open book.“Investigating the Venus Line, yes, I’m very well aware. HahAHhahAHA!” Dr. Calamity knows his family well. “But there must be something more immediate that I can help with!”“This [STAR EXPLORER] did not save their family for any sort of [REWARD].” Galactic declines.“Nephew, please, let’s not go in circles. If anything, I’d be glad to assist you in your endeavors, more now that I can afford to.” Dr. Calamity now turns to you. “I’m hopeful that you don’t play any sort of game either, Johnny boy. HahHAhahA!”“UUUUUUUU…” Galactic doesn’t know what to ask for.“UUUUuuuuuh…” You match his energy because you’re in the same boat.“P-Please, take a moment.” Dr. Calamity chuckles less enthusiastically.This is more than a monetary reward. Dr. Calamity wants to reward you with something you can use for your adventures!What do you ask for?>Your Van getting repaired. This surely will help Ruby relax.>A Stable for Agent Beef. He deserves it for being such a reliable ally.>Help the Prisoners with a place to stay.>You want a paid vacation. Because everyone deserves a break!>Write In.(Only reply of the day, we continue tomorrow!)
