Line #246 Roleplay/OurAvatarsWereInARoomTogetherTheContinuation


1	The Traveller has been defeated, Joshua O'Brien has been saved, and everyone enjoys a brief period of respite. But their troubles are far from over...
2
3	On the 12[[superscript:th]] of October, 2011, a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13236601070A71890800&page=1 sequel]] of sorts to [[Roleplay/OurAvatarsAreInARoomTogether Our Avatars Are In A Room Together]] was made, due to a mutual agreement of the players. The game had been getting too plot-heavy, so it was decided that the plot part of the game was made into a Roleplaying game, leaving the original game with less plot.
4
5	Arguably, it is like all other avatar-based RP in the Website/TVTropes forums, but has its own storyline and rules. The characters are also restricted to a room which is a gateway to and from other dimensions... sort of.
6
7	The thread used to be comprised of many players [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12983510570A63380100&page=709 at the time of the split]], but as time marched on many have left with newer players joining the ranks. New players are currently not being accepted at this time due to an overabundance of players. The discussion thread can be found [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13232935040A44850200&page=1 here]] and the sign-up [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13232948760A17760100&page=1 here.]]

9	There is a recap page [[Recap/OurAvatarsWereInARoomTogetherTheContinuation here.]]
10
11	%%Fix this later and GO TO BED.
12
13	!Other Rules, because as of late, you can't be too careful
14
15	* NO RAPE. This should go without saying.
16	* NO GODMODDING. Can't believe I actually have to make a rule for this...
17	* This game is meant for interaction, so interact. Large walls of text within one's own characters is highly discouraged.
18	* IC is your friend. Stick to it!
19	* Try to respect the wishes of other players. If someone doesn't want something done to their character, don't do it.
20	* Fanservice for the sake of fanservice is prohibited. If the sole point of the character/scenario you are using is to indulge in your fetish, we will ask you to stop, or revise said character/scenario. If you become subject to questioning about this rule, we will ask you to provide proof that you are not violating it.
21	* Respect the wishes of the GM. They are the GM. It is their plot, not yours.

23	!'''Addendum:''' Multiple transgressions may result in a formal request to leave the thread. You have been warned.

25	!Additional tips to make the roleplaying experience fun for all can be found [[RoleplayingTips/OurAvatarsAreInARoomTogether here.]]
26
27	!!'''Due to how large the thread is, and how many plot cycles we have gone through (and because we are probably not important enough to get episode recap pages), tropes are sorted by story arc.'''
28
29	!Tropes that apply across the board, or nowhere in particular, go here:
30
31	%%* AbortedArc: The one with evil Zack, due to confusion, plotholes, and retcons, and the one with Kamen Riders, due to Strig leaving and player exclusion.
32	%%** The Santiago Claus one, due to Duffy's lack of wifi.
33	%%* AfterTheEnd: The SC arc.
34	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Due to [[ScheduleSlip some difficulties with the plot itself]], everyone decided to form an Away Team to pass the time, the team consists of: Sir Clarence, Legion, a couple .hack// characters, Alpha's/Mike's clone, Gamzee Makara, Holly Short, Harry Dresden, a quiet robot, Savyna, and Rock.
35	%%* BigBad: Several.
36	%%* ButThouMust
37	%%* CameBackWrong: [[DamagedSoul Zack.]] So very, very much.
38	%%* CurbStompBattle: [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] versus Chewbacca. Chewbacca won.
39	%%* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the Forum Game.
40	%%* DiabolusExMachina: Cloud.
41	%%* FromBadToWorse: After the Traveller arc.
42	%%* GroinAttack: to Shirou from Lancelot. Paraphrased:
43	%%--> Shirou: I need those!
44	%%--> Lancelot: For what, defiling my King?
45	%%--> Shirou: ...Yes?
46	%%--> Lancelot: -stomp-
47	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Gordon, Mordin, and Shepard showed up towards the last leg of the Vesperia arc, Yu was worse in that he showed up during the ''final battle'' of the Persona arc.
48	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Aven functions as this to Cloud. When he leaves, things go downhill for the latter very quickly. Ironically, it is also likely Aven's presence that is further dragging Cloud into his downward spiral, since, due to Aven's encouragement and support, Cloud feels twice as bad for not recovering and deems this to be his own fault, leading into deeper depression, which Aven then tries to correct, thus perpetuating the cycle.
49	%%* MindRape: Done several times to several people.
50	%%* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
51	%%* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Cloud delivers two of these; one to Not!Zack, and another to Zelretch.
52	* RuleOfCool:
53	** The Eighth Arcana of the final battle has a midair dogfight with the Millennium Falcon with Nyx wielding and energy sword whilst Han pilots and a guy with a BF BifurcatedWeapon, a potion maker with an eyepatch and a potion gun that shoots lasers (sort of), a walking carpet that can rip a man's arms from their sockets, a guy with a chainsaw sword, and Bahamut all do battle with the anthropomorphic personification of Death.
54	** The final battle of the Vesperia arc was a group of Crystal Giants against an EldritchAbomination in orbit around Terca Lumeries
55	** The whole theme park in the Castle of Dreams arc, especially the [[TheWonka eccentrically brilliant]] Barry Acres, the Six Flags Guy {{Expy}} and the water show at the very end.
56	** The ''entire moon'' is converted into a badass spaceship in the Spaceship arc, as is the room itself.
57	%%* TheVirus: Jenova. Also, the vampire blood.
58	* TraumaCongaLine: Cloud is slowly driven insane from the buildup of stressful events preceeding the Traveller arc in the forum game, then is openly despised by Zack (as neither of them know they are from alternate timelines). Zack then tries to kill him, and is killed (again), then is brought back as a sadistic monster, who hates Cloud just as much. He is then [[MindRape Mind Raped]] by Nagato, his hallucinations taunting him all the while. This, however, culminates in a CMOA for him, where he [[ShutUpHannibal tells Zack in so many words to stuff it.]]
59	%%* TrueFinalBoss: Nyarlathotep, for the Persona arc.
60	%%* YankTheDogsChain: Cloud. So very, very often.
61	%%* YourSoulIsMine: Cloud can do this.
62
63	[[foldercontrol]]
64
65	[[folder:The Nasuverse Arc]]
66
67	%%* BigBad: Crimson Moon
68	%%* BodyHorror: Cloud. He simply has no luck at all...
69	%%* DemonicPossession: Of a sort. Done by [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]], [[{{Franchise/Nasuverse}} Crimson Moon]], and attempted by Jenova. Done to Cloud.
70	%%* CooldownHug: More of a cooldown tackle/MindHug from Lancelot, but it still applies.
71	%%* OurVampiresAreDifferent: True Ancestors.
72	* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: Cloud first obtains the marks across his face from his fight with Vlad, which marked the beginning of the loss of his humanity and sanity.
73
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:The Persona Arc]]
77
78	%%* AbstractApotheosis: Erebus and Nyx. And L, after his death.
79	* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Erebus is the embodiment of the despair and hatred in the collective unconscious of humanity, meaning it can never be truly killed until humanity itself is enlightened (something one of the heroes eventually sets out to accomplish). However, on the flipside of this, we have L, who becomes the embodiment of hope and humanity's desire for justice.
80	* BittersweetEnding: On the one hand, Nyx has been defeated, Minato actually ''survived,'' Aven finally got his milkshake, and the cultists are dead. On the other hand, L is dead, both he and Light suffered a FateWorseThanDeath (not that Light didn't have it coming, but ''ouch''), Nyx is still around somewhere, and Cloud may or may not be the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Chaos and might never see his family again, and continues to slowly go mad.
81	%%* BrickJoke: Aven goes into town and buys a milkshake.
82	%%* DiscOneFinalBoss: Erebus.
83	%%* EnergyWeapon: Aven's incendiary rounds.
84	%%* FaceHeelTurn: Light. Was anyone really surprised? It's what he does.
85	%%* FateWorseThanDeath: Becoming the Great Seal. Also, how Light met his end.
86	%%* FinalBoss: Nyx.
87	%%* MemoryGambit: Pulled by Light in order to gain the group's trust.
88	%%* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The Great Seal, making the party a tad reluctant to allow Minato to become part of it.
89	* ScrewDestiny: One of the central themes. A discussion frequently had by the main charaters was whether Minato truly had to die to become the Great Seal and preven The Fall. Minato overcomes his own death written in the notebook through sheer force of will and the Universe Arcana, and eventually survives Nyx as well.
90	* WildCard: HK-47, who only assisted the party to destroy the "inferior" HK-50 units.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:The Vesperia Arc]]
94
95	%%* AppliedPhlebotinum: Aer
96	%%* BigBad: Alexei
97	* BittersweetEnding: Congrats! Terca Lumeries is saved! Except Cloud kills himself. (Technically twice since he sacrificed his Crystal body to destroy the Adephagos.)
98	%%* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Estelle after being kidnapped by Alexei.
99	%%* CantSpitItOut: Cloud to Estelle.
100	%%* CooldownHug: Estelle gets one.
101	%%* DyingAsYourself: Cloud. Whether it sticks or not has yet to be seen.
102	%%* EldritchAbomination: The Adephagos
103	* GrayAndGreyMorality: Alexei wants to prevent the Adephagos from killing everything, and Estelle genuinely wants to help everyone and makes every effort to.
104	%%* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Raven. And Cloud, eventually.
105	* HopeSpot: Cloud gets one briefly when having a nice conversation for once with an innkeeper. A few pages later, Estelle gets kidnapped by assassins due to his negligence.
106	%%* SamusIsAGirl: Judith
107	%%* WelcomeBackTraitor: Raven.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:The Castle of Dreams Arc]]
111	* AWizardDidIt: Barry handwaves some of the more extraordinary happenings in the park by chalking it up to magic he got from his grandfather.
112	* BookEnds: The Castle of Dreams arc starts with Barry Acres inviting them to the theme park and bringing them in on a bus, it ends with Barry Acres inviting them to come back one day and bringing them back to the room on the same bus.
113	%%* BreatherEpisode: A trip to an Amusement Park would do everyone good.
114	%%* {{Expy}}: The elderly, yet spry dancing bus driver is one of the Six Flags Guy.
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:The Casltevania Arc.]]
118	%%* {{Checkpoint}}: The havens between each major boss fight.
119	%%* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The players kind of collectively BEAT UP DEATH.
120	* HeroesOfAnotherStory: Harvey, Phoenix, and Maya go missing shortly after the beginning to engage in a sub-plot. Nobody really notes on the three missing except Yu, but nobody has the time to go look for them anyway since Dracula Reviving is a much more pressing issue.
121	* IncendiaryExponent: Aven learns of the power of setting himself on fire and getting thrown at enemies during his time here.
122	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Mutsuki oh so (in)conveniently charging into Soma right when he was recovering from Dracula breaking free. It undid basically everything everyone was trying with him.
123	* RewardingVandalism: The party discovered certain objects in Castlevania can be broken for weapons and that bricks can be broken for food, this naturally didn't avoid some questioning.
124	%%* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The leader being an impulsive teenager that just found out he's Dracula reincarnated doesn't help things in the slightest, either.
125	-->Aven: (whispering) I don't like you.
126	-->Alpha: (whispering) [[ActorAllusion I don't like you either]].
127	* WebcomicTime: Subverted as Aven mentions that the days spent in Castlevania seem to be the same as the days spent real time in the arc.
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder:The Spaceship Arc]]
131	* AFateWorseThanDeath: Sagi threatens to capture the Maliwan CEO her in a magnus, but ultimately does not go through with it. Alpha opts for MindRape instead.
132	* BadassCrew: When your ship is a room capable of breaking through dimensional walls and your crew consists of members such as The Doctor, Gordon Freeman and Riza Hawkeye, you're definitely this.
133	* CombatPragmatist:
134	** Rock isn't afraid of taking a direct approach in difficult situations, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo especially]] when [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim negotiations with Maliwan are going nowhere]].
135	** Ace often opts for violent means of sorting things out.
136	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Daisy interrogates an enemy Komerade by hugging him.
137	%%* CoolShip: Both the gigantic Moonship and the retrofitted Roomship count.
138	* CutTheSafetyRope: Aven, who was being dragged off a cliff, started dragging Alpha with him during the attempted rescue. So the latter was told to let go.
139	* DrillSergeantNasty: One crops up while part of the group trains for Jakobs' militia, and reappears later with [[TrainingFromHell a painful gauntlet that the crew must run to prove themselves worthy]] so they can meet with Dahl. It turns out he was actually Torgue in disguise and was messing with everyone.
140	* EldritchAbomination: A universe devouting entity called The Thousand Maws. Interesting in that it is a universe itself, making it an EldritchLocation as well.
141	* EscalatingWar: The (rather short-lived) prank war between Kirb, Daisy, Sagi and Marno. It began with a snow prank to wake up Sagi and ended with the Doctor threatening to ''bleach Sagi's hair with hydrogen peroxide in his sleep.''
142	* FluffyTheTerrible: Helen and Marno collectively come up with their own nickname for The Thousand Maws: "Bob The Destroyer."
143	%%* HurricaneOfPuns: Marno inflicts one on the group after Lenell retrieves her axe. The others are not amused.
144	* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Aven's supposed death -- he was stabbed, lost an arm, dragged off a cliff, and barely escaped being blown up.
145	* PingPongNaivete: Daisy's ditzy moments are often tempered by [[WiseBeyondTheirYears surprisingly profound ones]].
146	%%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Kirby-like Komerades on Vorgnock-5.
147	* RunningGag: Two - Marno's increasingly-humiliating demotions (though unless Mr. Torgue appears again, this is likely over) and the Jolly Green Giant appearing to fix impossibly confusing situations.
148	* SpannerInTheWorks: The Doctor's attempt to outgambit Miss Maliwan is foiled by Sagi's negligence with his lightning. Things go FromBadToWorse.
149	* TookALevelInBadass: Luigi takes one during his training with Zeff aboard the Baratie. By the end of it, the plumber is a formidable fighter far beyond his usual skills.
150	* WhatTheHellHero: The Doctor delivers one to Sagi, Alpha and Rock after Miss Maliwan is threatened, tortured and killed by each respectively. He doesn't speak much to them, but still manages to cripple them with guilt.
151
152	[[/folder]]
153
154	[[folder:The Deluge Arc]]
155
156	%%* AbortedArc: Many, due to there being too many players to do them all properly, leaving many plot threads hanging.
157	%%* AlienGeometries: The altered city.
158	* AnyoneCanDie: Should anyone go on to do something incredibly stupid or make a terribly wrong move, bodies can and have dropped.
159	* CallBack: Marno's demotions from the Spaceship arc are referenced when he loses the "waiting game."
160	* CuckooNest:It is still unknown whether or not the daytime city or the altered city is real or not, or if nothing is real to begin with, or even if the people they've met actually exist. It is later revealed that all three timelines are very real, as well as the MindScrew earlier in.
161	* EldritchLocation: The other city, which is a openly hostile place that was built by the men in suits and shifts and bends at will to them.
162	%%* FakeMemories: Everyone in the city. Cloud has access to all of these, until they are ultimately used on him to hide him in plain sight as "David Mitinger".
163	* FissionMailed: At one point, a clown with a jetpack appears and [[DiabolusExMachina suddenly kills everyone]] for no apparent reason. Then the group wakes up, completely unharmed.
164	%%* HumanoidAbomination: The sinister men in suits who built and patrol the other city.
165	* MonsterClown: A homicidal, seemingly immortal clown has become a threat to the group on several occasions, and in one case killed them all.
166	* NotUsingTheZWord: None of the universe's natives have referred to the people suffering zombie-like symptoms as zombies, though the GenreSavvy members of the team show no hesitation in doing so. And then it turns out they weren't actually zombies.
167	%%* RealityWarper: The Suits. Later, the entire party.
168	* {{Room 101}}: What the half-stopped timestream is like, due to the unstable nature of reality and the amplifier, allowing things like dreams and fears to manifest physically.
169	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: More so than the previous arc. The group is often left without clear directions forward, and friction between Aven, the Doctor and the Major for leadership caused sparks to fly on more than one occasion.
170	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The gang passed through Las Vegas with only a few glances and even fewer questions. Then again, with all the strange events going on, they are probably some of the less odd things around. This was mostly because the GM couldn't think of an excuse to not have them all incarcerated repeatedly.
171	* WhatMeasureIsAMook: After the Area 51 group gets captured, some of guards mourns for their losses in the preceding shootout.
172	* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Some of the party begin to question whether or not Cloud is simply a tool a little while after he joins the party.
173	[[/folder]]
174
175	[[folder:The Fragments and Reflections Arc]]
176	%%* AllMythsAreTrue: A standard staple of SMT.
177	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Dio Brando ripped [[CuteWitch Elisa's]] lungs out, drained her blood, then froze her and [[LiterallyShatteredLives shattered her body]].
178	[[/folder]]
179
180	[[folder:The School Days of Hawthorne High Arc]]
181	%%* AgentMulder: Travis Touchdown.
182	%%* AgentScully: The Doctor.
183	* AlphaBitch: Tessa, a very mean and petty girl with an omnipresent GirlPosse and a penchant for picking on Cloud.
184	* ApatheticTeacher: Gym teacher Mr. Brandt, who uses his class time to take smoke breaks.
185	%%* ArcSymbol: [[http://i.imgur.com/qjitF4y.gif This thing]], which inexplicably appeared in several places.
186	* AsleepInClass: Cloud and Noel have both dozed off during lectures before.
187	%%* BigBad: Kevin.
188	* BigManOnCampus: Kevin is well-liked by teachers and fellow students alike.
189	%%* TheBully: Tessa and Max, who are an AlphaBitch and a JerkJock respectively. Gilda and Margaret, though not as popular, count as well.
190	* CloudCuckooLander: Cloud. He's an awkward kid who seems oblivious to teasing and likes to talk to the fish in the office's aquarium during lunch.
191	* CoolTeacher:
192	** The Doctor, who is passionate about helping his students understand physics and always willing to rein in the destructive tendencies of his fellow teacher [[SternTeacher Travis Touchdown]].
193	** Touchdown, though intimidating and occasionally violent, qualifies as well. His spur-of-the-moment decision to change his class's subject to masked wrestling rather than computer science was surprisingly popular with most of his students. He also gained a great deal of respect from many of the students after reprimanding Tessa for mocking Cloud in homeroom.
194	** Mr. Jones, who teaches Art. He's very easygoing and has a knack for keeping even the mischievous students interested.
195	%%* CosplayOtakuGirl: Imuka.
196	* DeadAllAlong: Mr. Nichols/Mr. Hand was dead for a long time before he burned in the sun.
197	* DeanBitterman: Hawthorne High's principal is a no-nonsense hardass who doesn't take kindly to student misbehavior. He gave the entire student body a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a harsh lecture about their shortcomings]] following a food fight in the cafeteria.
198	* TheDogWasTheMastermind: Kevin, seemingly one of the inconsequential [=NPCs=], turns out to be behind it all.
199	%%* DumbStruck: Gordon after waking up to find his family missing.
200	* EatingLunchAlone: Happens to a few of the more introverted students occasionally. Most of the time, some friends end up sitting with them, but this has not been the case for [[ButtMonkey Cloud]] yet.
201	* EducationMama: Gohan's mother Chi-Chi puts a great deal of importance on her son's study habits.
202	%%* FoodFight: Jake English inadvertently starts one that eventually gets everyone in trouble with the principal.
203	* ForeignExchangeStudent: Imca and Jake English, from Japan and the UK respectively.
204	* HighSchoolAU: Everyone is recast as students or teachers against a high school backdrop.
205	%%* HumanoidAbomination: Mr. Nichols/Mr.Hand is revealed to be this in a spectacular fashion on Friday The Thirteenth.
206	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Kevin's rationale for entrapping everyone in Hawthorne. He turns out to be an orphaned, friendless ten year-old boy from Not Vegas who uses the machine from the Deluge arc to wish himself into a happier life where he is the popular kid.
207	* JerkJock: Max, an athletic student who is also fond of stealing lunches and drawing penises on desks.
208	* KillItWithFire: Upon contact with the sun, Mr. Hand burst into flame and perished.
209	%%* LovableJock: Kevin and Gohan, [[AcademicAthlete both of whom are pretty smart, to boot]].
210	%%* LotusEaterMachine: The entire town of Hawthorne is revealed to be one.
211	* LovecraftCountry: It becomes increasingly apparent that Hawthorne is more than just a sleepy suburb when ominous metaphysical happenings start occurring.
212	* MythologyGag:
213	** [[Anime/DragonBallZ Gohan draws both Perfect Cell and a Kamehameha Wave]] in art class, and references speaking with the Doctor on the scientific impossibility of ki. His family also has a cat named Korin.
214	** [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor's]] car is blue, a clear reference to the TARDIS. He also keeps a screwdriver in his desk drawer.
215	** Travis joins a forum RP with an OC named "Gaven Tudor," who is friends with Squall Leonhart, referencing the friendship between Aven Turor and Cloud Strife. This crosses over with ActorAllusion, since Travis' player is ''also'' the person who plays as Aven.
216	** The motorcycle from VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes makes an appearance as - what else - Travis' main mode of transportation.
217	** Thaumaturge references ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' at least once - fitting, seeing as how her concept is based off the Thaumcraft mod.
218	** In homeroom, Cloud draws symbols that appeared in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren''.
219	** Peacock has a plushie named Avery.
220	** Karkat gets a Gamzee-esque annoying stoner buddy in Charlie and has a nightmare about him becoming an evil juggalo.
221	** Gordon makes a website about how to construct a tennis ball cannon for his Computer final in a reference to a very obscure bit of Half-Life mythology.
222	** [[VideoGame/{{Ib}} Ib]] dreams of being in an art gallery.
223	* PhoneaholicTeenager: [[AlphaBitch Tessa]] has a penchant for texting during class time.
224	* PrivateDetective: Travis Touchdown decides to become one to pay the rent and ropes the Doctor into becoming one as well.
225	* RefugeInAudacity: Computer teacher Travis Touchdown gets away with a ludicrous amount of un-teacherly behavior simply because his supposed actions seem too outrageous to be true.
226	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The Doctor serves as the foil to Travis Touchdown's frequent antics.
227	%%* StepfordSuburbia: The town of Hawthorne.
228	%%* TeenGenius: Gordon, Ib and Gohan.
229	* WackyHomeroom: Every class is chock full of colorful personalities. Homeroom itself counts double so since everyone goes there.
230	* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The Group is always in critical danger of tearing each other apart with in fighting, and this has resulted in some injuries and a death.
231	[[/folder]]
232
233	[[folder:The Meanwhiles and Neverweres Arc]]
234	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Courtesy of the TARDIS's translation matrix, any language barriers encountered are effortlessly passed.
235	%%* AssimilationPlot: The Cybermen of Nova Sanctum attempt one of these, but the Doctor and his companions are quick to put a stop to it.
236	* CasualTimeTravel: In the Whoniverse, time travel is a frequent and casual affair for many. Even beyond the Doctor and his TARDIS, there is parking space at the Aurora for time travellers, a hotline for those displaced in time and needing a lift back, and TimePolice in the form of Captain Jack Harkness, who manages to be even more flippant with his abuse of time travel than the Doctor.
237	* CompoundInterestTimeTravelGambit: The Doctor pays for the trip to Barcelona by putting ten pounds in the local bank and coming back for it after 22 thousand years. Miraculously, the bank still exists and has a ludicrously large sum of money from the interest.
238	%%* BiggerOnTheInside: Just guess.
239	%%* EldritchAbomination: The Nightmare Child certainly counts.
240	* InSpiteOfANail: Though the events of the 2005 revivial onwards never happened in this universe, plenty of small details are set back on the rails purely unintentionally.
241	%%* JigsawPuzzlePlot: Thanks to the TimeyWimeyBall and some plain old mysteries.
242	* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: While the impact is never consistent, meeting oneself from a different place in time is a very bad thing. The Nightmare Kin exploit this by choosing to travel back to Barcelona while the group's past selves were present, preventing the present selves from pursuing until the past selves left to get caught up in the adventure in the first place. This gives the Nightmare Kin several days to almost complete their mission.
243	%%* SurferDude: Mattie, one of the surf trainers at the resort.
244	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Wherever the gang goes, whether to ancient history or the distant past, they never have any lasting consequences for their strange appearances.
245	%%* VacationEpisode: Starts out as this, but spirals into an adventure across time and space.
246	[[/folder]]

260	* AlternateHistory: Of a sort. Quite a few events happen differently than in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' canon. One example being that Sol is still a member of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights all the way up to the tail end of the Crusades.
261	%%* AntiVillain: The Gear Group, if only because they're slightly sympathetic in their motives.
262	%%* BigBad: Justice, for Humanity
263	* BittersweetEnding: The bloody war with the Gears ends and Alpha, Karkat, Solaire and Jekyll/Hyde are returned to normal. However, Fen, still a Gear and facing some serious guilt for her actions, runs off deeper into the ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' world and is nowhere to be found. Aven, determined to find her, manages to strike a deal with one Rachel Alucard, who projects a personal portal to the Guilty Gear world into the room.

267	%%* EmotionlessGirl: Alpha, post Gear-Conversion.
268	* FeudEpisode: Downplayed when Imuka and Junon decide to help Sol steal the Fireseal, when their fellow party members Apollo and Dot argue against it. The two groups argue, but then Dot and Apollo leave the other two to their devices.
269	%%* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Millia gives one to Shinji, while breaking down in tears.
270	* HeartwarmingOrphan:
271	** Millia, at 14 years old, shares her stolen food with the equally broke Cloud and Shinji.
272	** Baiken, who's also at about 14 years old, is a subversion. She's rough, vulgar, eager for a fight; and is in fact surprisingly competent in battle for her age, but still manages to get [[SociopathicHero Biker]] to care about her.
273	* HeroicBSOD: Upon seeing Testament's scythe, Junon was reminded of the [[Metaplot/YuGiOh Reaper of Prophecy]] incident and her mind shut down, making her vulnerable to Gear!Alpha's attack.
274	* OrderVersusChaos: [[KnightInShiningArmor Ky Kiske]] representing Order, and [[KnightInSourArmor Sol Badguy]] representing Chaos, despite the two being on the side of the humans. Naturally, the main party members are somewhat split on who to side with.
275	* TalkingInYourDreams: [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Ragna The Bloodedge]] is visited by a very familiar "bunny-leech" vampire in his dreams.
276	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: When Sol steals the Fireseal and beats up a bunch of knights in order to get to Justice and destroy her himself, Ky is forced to join Sol out of desperation to end the war, despite disagreeing with his methods.
277	* ThoseTwoGuys: The Twin knights, one specializing in melee swordfighting and the other in spells.
278	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Sergeant Gwendolyn, a fairly skilled Knight who holds her own against Gear Alpha shortly after being introduced, but then kicks the bucket immediately after that.

283	* BazaarOfTheBizarre: After heading down the tunnel, the group arrives in a bazaar that sells weird things like baby's breath. There's a shop that sells pets, but at the cost of the customer's first born child.
284	* BittersweetEnding: In the end, the Fairies' world was destroyed. Fortunately, Travis made a wish to change the behavior of its people and that the remaining Queen is slowly rebuilding said world.
285	* TheFairFolk: The focus of this arc. They're creepy folk who believe that humans are only property. Their marketplace is filled with things disturbing to the human eye. To buy a pet, Biker had to give up his yet-to-be-born first child. As a result of the things experienced during this trip, Travis believes that he is justified in distrusting them.
286	* OnlySaneMan: Travis is the only who argues against the morality of the fairies and tries to warn the others of the possible dangers. Unfortunately, they ignore him.
