We should save Alice for last, in my opinion. She's what the kids call unstable. =)
(+1 unlurked observer. Ignore me as I return to my lurking position.)

I think you meant option one, option 2 is daydream's, and welcome to the nightmare!

Oh yeah, we did, oops! Sorry and thanks aboat that.

Wonderous work pan!

Also some art of my own I had finished too:

You enter Derrick's house bubble and find yourself in front of it. The green mist is from Mephita you remember. She was wheezing and you and the others had to escape. Not not quite sure how to get rid of this safely...

Piper: Eww... Well we're going to have to make this area clean again.
Piper: Hope you brought your gas mask.
Emily: ... I have not.
Piper: ... We'll think of something.

Piper has the ability to arbitrarily fully heal Emily every "turn", right? Maybe they could just use that repeatedly.

While that would keep healing Emily, wouldn't Piper also take damage? Any pangolin-shaped gas masks?

Panur, this latest addition to that series is great! If you made a whole set, I would print them and hang them on my wall, that's how gr8 they are.
Also, iP, why are you drawing Lucas smiling?? I thought sad-Lucas-stuck was all the rage now!

What do you guys think about

Emily: Use your shirt to cover your mouth and nose to try and minimize how much poison you breath in. Run to the pantry as fast as you can and then head into the forts.

The forts should be free of poison and we could take the shortcut up to Derrick's room, which is where Mephita should be.

>Emily: Depending on your health, healing, and how much damage the poison causes you might be able heal each other enough to survive and get through the poison into a fort, travel from there to get some black creation stone and make a gas mask, then proceed from there. Be careful if you decide to do that, there still might be monsters in there.

Perhaps the gas isn't present on higher dream levels?

We have no easy way to move dream levels though.

>Hmm, well isn't this a dream? Why not just go *POOF* MASK and be done with it? Plus you are different from the others in this dream world, whats to say the full rules apply to you.
>Use you shirt as a filter I suppose.

Hmm, I guess sleeping on the porch would be a bad idea.

Theory

Also voting for >1, we should def save Daydream for last.

Speaking of Daydream, what if Daydream is the OI, and the in construct Alice is the real Alice? It could just be toying with us, gathering information by pretending to be friendly. A little unlikely, I know, but a thought nonetheless.

I've been playing around with a sort of similar theory. Basically, what if Alice was actually possessed at a young age by a monster, and having lost her body she became the poster monster/unknown entity? That would mean the Alice/Daydream we know is actually not native to that body. It seems pretty outlandish, but there's a few things that actually would make sense this way:

• We never see Raziel being conjured. Maybe this is because the "original" Alice conjured him, and he then defaulted to the new owner of his body?
  
• Alice's infatuation with Derrick could have something to do with being a monster for eons. He would probably be her first friend, her first normal human she's talked to in countless years.
  
• The bit in Alice's intro about not being who she claims to be would make sense, although the rest of the cryptic prose is still totally puzzling.
  
• Lucas would be in love with a monster who possessed a girl, which strikes me as kinda fitting given his "erroneousExorcist" chumhandle.
  
• Alice making Garry fall asleep outside of a dream (although in the construct) when she shouldn't even know she's not in the real world. Maybe monsters possessing people have powers? We've heard about possession all story, but since iP says we hypothetically can prevent the kids from suffering that fate, it makes me wonder if there is some guaranteed way in which we'll see what possession does.
  
• The fact that Alice seems to do a lot of non-genuine things to seem "normal" like filling her room with bright cheery stuff might have to do with not being a normal human.
  

I don't really believe this is likely at all, but it's fun to theorize! Alice is such a fun character because of how confusing everything about her is. Like seriously, I think we've so far had 4 at least somewhat different Alice's confirmed to be roaming around? (Construct Alice, Sentinel Alice, Daydream, Poster Monster)

GOTTA GO FAST!

xD

I just about lost it at that part as well
---
Gotta say, that went really smoothly! I guess when you have causality on your side things just tend to work out. Based Lunatic Uilos really delivered with those souls! This new ability sounds incredibly useful for if we run into friendlier monsters.

So does Emily always dream in this anachronistic manner, or is this only in the construct? It kind of makes sense that she gets captured a lot if this is her modus operandi, since she could easily get into a sticky situation.

Although this theory would explain alice's strangeness attribute very well, it's probably not the case, the kids only start dreaming at a certain age (Lucia when she was shot and Derrick sometime after) at the point where Lucia and Derrick first meet on the dream world, Alice is not supposed to be dreaming yet, since Alice wasn't dreaming it's impossible that she was possesed before entering the dream world the first time. as stated by Pechal on this page, Alice wasn't supposed to be dreaming yet.

Pechal: She never woke up to know anything.
Pechal: Then we heard stuff...
Lucia: Stuff like what?
Pechal: Stuff like, she's been walking around, being seen in Lomam.
Pechal: But, she shouldn't be! because she never woke up.

as for Daydream, I don't think she was possesed either, if she were she wouldn't know who Derrick and the other kids are, and besides, a kid's conjuration dissapears when they get possesed, the possesor doesn't steal their conjurations, only their body, and I don't think they enter the dreamworld.
also, if you wanna see more theories, you can see what i've come up with here.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oJrl...sp=sharing

Good points. However, it seems like guardians are actually vulnerable before they start dreaming: https://mspfanventures.com/?s=3039&p=1584

Lucia: So what do you think of Archadia? What was it trying to do?
Kalem: Trying to body snatch is what!
Kalem: Poor Lexii is vulnerable right now...
Kalem: Some freak can waltz in her bedroom, attack her, and she'd be locked up in here with me.
Kalem: While some evil bastard roams around in her body, never to be seen again.

But that doesn't really fit well with the Raziel thing, since she couldn't have conjured him while not properly dreaming. And also, the "never to be seen again" part does seem to imply the evil bastard wouldn't return to the dreamworld at night.

I like your document though! Very interesting, especially all the weird eye symbolism that seems to follow Lucia everywhere. Is the whole Narren is Garry's sister thing still a thing people believe as well?

Anyway, >Emily: Discuss how long you could survive in the poison cloud, and ask if Piper can send you to a deeper dream level to help you get closer to Mephita

I can't remember if that is just a Bambino/Ira thing or if all the conjurations have that ability. I think we can get out of the deeper level by repeating the last thing she said though, so traveling to the fort near Mephita or just going to the bedroom directly should work if she can survive a short time in the poison cloud. If not, does anyone know any rock jokes?

how about:

>Emily: Boo for some help, the reapers may have better intel or suggestions about how to actually get into the house quickly.

maybe we could break Derrick's window? supposedly mephita is inside and the door closed, so the poison inside would be really concentrated, clearing it up a bit may be the best bet to lower the amount of it, problem is that it would make derrick's room visible to monsters and shit.... could the reapers help us go to another non poisoned level? and then back up? we could have the find bambino

ps: also, AA, thank you for the kind words ;A; I most likely will, it'll just take me awhile because of slow +easily distracted

A reaper could hit Emily to a different dream level, though I fear if we're wrong and the gas is also on lv 2 and onward, a reaper could seriously hurt themselves trying to get down.

>Emily: before entering, ask piper how your priestess of affliction powers could aid you on this, maybe a ward that repels the noxious gas?
>Emily & Piper: if you enter, try to hold your breath for as long as you can, to reduce the damage.

also: adorable meme AA
also: great work pan, really exited to see the other characters

seconding, but

>Emily: wrap piper in your jacket let her heal you continuously.

Piper heals emily as she takes damage, emily heals piper for less hp. the jacket will make this last a little longer.

Can Emily even heal yet?

Can Emily even heal yet?

Emily had unshakeable resolve when mephita came in the house and she didn't have piper with her yet. If we're unlucky, though, the skill won't work on poison damage, or there'll be a monster in derrick's house taking advantage of the fog.

Hey IP, i know you already have a "manager", but i'mm gonna go ahead and undercut them by bouncing around an idea. So just tell me what you think ^^

Soo, basically Twitch saves past replays now with the audio auto-removed when it registers as copyrighted.
Problem is, those past replays get deleted after a while.

So my idea was, why not use a browser addon like Flash Video Downloader to download the already-edited video files and then straight-up upload them to a YouTube account!

It would do wonders for your exposure (since YouTube's alogs also count frequency of new uploads towards promoting your content) and this is indeed a technique used by a lot of pro artists to get them more views. Including Shadman (who draws only pinups and a LOT of nsfw content) and even video-game commentators like MatPat who now stream playthrough sessions in addition to their main videos.

I mention this because, sadly, searching for Lucidstuck on YouTube turns up no relevant content :/

One thing to keep in mind with YouTube though is, do NOT use your real home-address when registering your "creator studio" account, since anyone filing a takedown notice on one of your videos will get access to that info.

Oh yeah, and expect fraudulent takedown notices and douchebags outright stealing ad-revenue by filing fraudulent copyright claims :I

It was fun watching the stream with you all, officially unlurking as of right now :)

Welcome TravitheParasite! The hivemind is growing.

Perhaps it's too late and iP has already selected a/some suggestion/s, but here goes anyway.
Knowns:
Piper is able to heal whoever she's riding on to full health every 'turn'. As the Priestess of Affliction, Emily takes half damage and the other half is distributed equally to nearby allies as healing (yes, she is a tank/healer). Inanimate things present on any given dream level are also present on all higher-numbered dream levels. The poison is not in the fort system.

I second asking Piper if Emily has any useful abilities at this time, wrapping Piper in the jacket as a filter, having Piper heal Emily often, and beelinining to the Old Fort. Then say hi to Ruu if she's awake, assess the need for a gas mask, and go to the Black Creation Stone regardless because I'm sure we all have stuff we want to do with it.
