Jape-related Jungling
-Yep Pent's still here. He's just sorta being really quiet because he's figured out where the gang is and he's trying to figure out whether there's really much of a 'problem' that can be solved because the story as he knows it tends to resolve itself-
-There's a lot of moral quandary that he's afraid of upsetting by a human getting even close to the mechanisms of the story-

Shift: <I'm not sure why you're so worried. It's frankly impossible>
-States the bright pink double-sized coffee cup. Shift seems to enjoy being liquid receptacles when there's no other pertinent disguise to use-
Jammer: The destruction of humanity is more likely to bring a 'Mystery Dungeon' scenario. Additionally it would require that somehow your brain patterns end up being saved and then repurposed for a specific model several centuries later.
/Duck/: >Ah, a SOMA situation.
Or an alternate universe that is already in the correct timeframe.
Shift: <And? The story brings up a lot of philosophy that is either already solved or distinctly incompatible with our world; "Is there a god?" Yes, multiple and they're actually pretty active.>
/Duck/: >Also hi. Artificial being capable of emotion and free will here.
Shift: <Actually, additional; If it was a portal to an AU then you'd still be a human. Unless there's some sort of transformation juice like the Mystery Dungeon 'verses->
Which there might be.
Shift: <But if not then you're a human in a world where the entire sentient population either hates or reveres you and likely have the innate ability to know a human when they see it.>
And I never said I'd intend to go there because the story is not good for my role so your point?
/Duck/: >Wait you're not? I thought you were intending to go into the game to obtain the desired apparel. Clearly I misread the situation
I'm trying to avoid the plot that could happen when I obtain the costume.
Shift: <And it won't happen. Because if it did it'd be impossible to pull off in a good way so it'd just be abandoned and you'd be back here no worse for wear except for maybe a tiny bit of the story that does get written before it gets abandoned. You're a protagonist, but you're one of this world's protagonists, nothing is going to take you away from it forever unless it's retirement.>
/Duck/: >Can I tempt you into attempting to force the matter? There is a good variety of cosmetic unlocks and DLC content you'd be hard-pressed to find in our world and I wouldn't mind one of those enemy robots to examine the programming of.
... If I did, I'd have to somehow become like... The cinnamon roll or something so I'd be able to actually survive the story. Which totally goes against the whole goal I already had?
Jammer: Though it would mean that you'd have locked out that plot and can't be snared by it when you do obtain your costume.
Shift: <It's still super impossible.>
And it'd be a major traumatizing experience so no I'm going to keep avoiding it. ... Buuuuuut I mean if it was possible to extract items from an existing 100% savefile into a less dangerous virtual world and materialize them as physical objects... Damn it I had a perfect opportunity a while ago but I was too busy...

There is now a Poochyena beside the other figure, who is now a Pawniard but is still wearing the Mightyena mask.
Poochyena: <Hey, boss, looks like you changed some.>
Pawniard: <Who?...>
He looks at himself.
<What happened to me and what's this about reinforcements?>
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryJD stepped into the Casino and decided against activating his sensor array to scan the area, that'd get him into trouble as his eye tends to glow. He looked about and started to ask a few patrons if anyone had seen Nelly, or if there were any notable factors about how many missing people were last seen around this location.
He couldn't help but feel watched, as he had read before, that was usually a sign he was onto something.
"Sholto, notice anything?"
Silas watched as Mew turned Phaz into his pokeform and just stared, "Uh... huh..."
<Hey who's next?> Tae asked smirking, <Maybe we could make this a all mon game, n->
"Yeah keep that up and you're going back in the ball. As for the game itself-"
"-The Fighters are gaining on you."
Daniel began to swerve the shuttle as best as he could to avoid enemy fire, his comrades mounting the rear turrets managed to get at least one.
Whiskers began to holler out with joy, "AMAZING! KEEP IT UP LA-"
He was cut off as the large purple ship began to move, and blasted the bridge right away, more laser blasts cut through the Discovery and it fell.
"Oh boy..." Daniel muttered.
Sholto: "Not much yet, n-"
Wait... something about this location seemed like it had been brought up before...
<JD, those missing persons reports... Did anything about weremons come up in them?>
Hazard: <I mean, I wouldn't mind that.>
And then the Discovery gets attacked.
Hazard: <Ngh, okay, we got anything, that can get Whiskers out of there? Teleporters or something?>

After taking the Brick Break, Caliburn starts to stagger. He took his last stand.
N’s Castle
Colt, Sylveon and Kazuma all returned their weapons, Kazuma also returning to his Pokéball and Sylveon including her scarf in the bundle.
She channeled the darkness into a Moonblast while Colt channeled it into a Night Daze.
The attacks where fired at the nearest Peekaboos.

“Yeah, so does he. But you’ve been able to have a type-advantage over him,” he explained. “Caliburn can’t learn any Ground or Fire attacks.
“But I know someone who can,” he smirked as he threw forth D.C.’s Ultra Ball.
But rather than a blindfolded Lucario, what landed was a Lucario who was visibly excited and wearing the Expert Belt like an actual belt.
He punched the ground, and a powerful shockwave radiated from Sean.

-What greets the group inside isn't pleasant-
-Skin stretched tight around a drained frame, pale and shriveled, bone, visible from every area that shows skin, arms reaching out for the door, eyes devoid of the spark of life. A human corpse. Possibly one of many, collapsed, reaching for a freedom he'd never reach-
-All around, walls painted in splotches of rusted red, reeking of blood.-
-The heat inside is stifling. Vats of molten metal bubble beneath rusted catwalks, molds for the metal, left unused, and far in the distance, row upon row of sickly green lights, glass fogged by time and dust-
Nier:<What in the...>
Weiss:How positively revolting. Harumph.
Sylph:-whimpers-
Nero: Now, that would be too easy, wouldn't it? You get away, we get nothing out of it, <that's the sort of deal you're bargaining for?>
-After a brief flash of light, the source of the voice steps forward, revealing a Type: Null to those who know it exists. Nero leers at the group, eyes narrowing when he realizes they're missing someone he expected.-
Nero: <So, where's Evan, huh? Hiding somewhere?>
Evelyn: He's not here, Nero, that's what matters.
Nero: <That's a shame. I wonder how he feels about hostages?>
AU!Malie
Soujin examines the Type:Null, noting it looks kind of like the Silvally Gladion had but more... eh...
And he's here too. This looked like it wasn't going to turn out well...
Soujin: "Thanks, but I'm not planning on being anyone's hostage."

Mandrake looks at the mess with not much reaction, someone could have stood to clean that up better... He might get a bit tired of the heat later but he's fine for now.

Caliburn sweatdrops, regardless of what his biology says, before he tanks the Focus Punch and is sent flying backwards into a wall. Nothing is cut, thank goodness. The Kartana responded with a move he was certain would make its mark.

“Well, we’re doing this then,” Colt shrugged. He prepared a Night Daze and leaped through the portal, landing face-first because it would probably be funny.
He picked himself up and dusted off his jacket, inadvertently causing his prepared attack to vanish into its constituent Obscura. <Corrin?> He hollered to the wind, barely even acknowledging his transformation into Talbain. And then he noticed her. <Sorry. Are you doin’ alright?> He followed up, quieter this time.
<And yeah, we’re the reinforcements, apparently,> Talbain admitted, somewhat clueless to the situation.
