>Lucas: chuck baseball bat at lamp with all your Knightly force

Since azzy isn't here, and the lamp isn't either, I think lucas is on a different dream level. He needs to repeat the last thing he said, but we need to get out of that stranglehold first if he is to talk.

>Lucas: You must be on a different dream level! Slice the air in front of you, and say "Who knows, I did take a baseball bat with me." as soon as you can.

guys....I think you're thinking of blackout dream...if it'd been another dream level, Azriel would still be there, and it's not a blackout dream since Lucas is still in LOCAD

Given the D in LOCAD stands for deception I'm willing to bet this is some sort of illusion. The reason Lucas can be hurt is because dream logic ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/M...akesItReal ).

You are unable to use your weapons or items, since you're in a dire situation at the moment, but maybe you can give yourself enough leeway to say something..!

Lucas: COUGH COUGH...!!! AUGGHH...
Azriel: Lucas!
Lucas: H-holy.. shit.
Lucas: Azriel, we need to hurry now..!

Azriel: What happened?
Lucas: That weird lantern grabbed me, and you disappeared. Must have took me deeper into the darkness...
Lucas: It'll probably be coming back, so let's climb this shit.
Azriel: Right.

You successfully scale Star-top mountain. Alice isn't much farther.

Lucas: Y-yes... We did it...
Azriel: Now, this has to help your mood tremendously.
Lucas: You can bet on that.

You step into Alice's home and find her talking with Bane. Just the sight of her feels healing to you.

Alice: Oh, hey Lucas.
Lucas: HI....
Alice: ...Did you climb all the way up here?
Alice: I live on the top of a mountain you know. Wow.
Lucas: No.... big deal...
Alice: If you say so.
Alice: I've just been having a chat with this guy. He says his name is Bane.
Bane: Hey.
Lucas: H-hello...

Huh? Shouldn't Lucas have already met Bane if he's working for Alice?

he's working for Daydream, this is construct Alice

>Lucas: mention you're kind of wounded from your trip, maybe someone can give you a hand with that

>Lucas: Ask bane for some precious life saving heals.

>Lucas: Casually mention that you need to talk to Bane in private for like 2 seconds, then excuse yourself mentioning that you didn't want Alice to worry, but you're really hurting from a couple of encounters along the way, and could you please patch me up.

holy-baloney, that was a close one! O.O

here's some fanart

Cool artwork there Terra ^^).b
now i'm wondering again, who COULD be the traitor among the reaper kids... and what would be their motive :/

Pancake alice will never stop being a thing

now i'm wondering again, who COULD be the traitor among the reaper kids... and what would be their motive :/

Derrick created the reapers using God Tier powers to lock them at their current point of monsterfication, correct? If so, what happens if/when he stops being a God Tier? Will the mask stay and will the reapers just persist as what is basically a group of organized semi-monsters doomed to one day have their leader leave them or will they leave and cause them all to pick up where they left off?

Lucas: Ask Bane for some precious life saving heals



You look to Bane to ask him for help, but he instinctively heals you before you say anything.

DT: Hey there, have a rough time getting up here I take it?
Lucas: Something like that... I still need a bit more rest though.
Alice: Here, come into my room.
Lucas: Okay!

Show ChatlogShow

Lucas: Nice room!
Alice: Thanks.
Alice: So... Who's that on your head?
Azriel: Ahh, allow me to introduce myself.
Azriel: I am Azriel the wraith. It's a pleasure.
Alice: Hey there. I'm Alice. And the cat is DT.
DT: Hello. owo
Alice: I've been talking with Bane about my land and stuff...
Alice: I've been in my house pretty much every night since the sleepover.
Lucas: Yeah.
Alice: I'd visit Derrick, but I wanna give him some space. Let him self search for a bit.
Alice: It's just been Bane and the cats here, so I must say it's nice to see a person around here.
Lucas: R-really?
Alice: Sure. DT tells me you're my knight and you'll protect me.
Lucas: Yeah! I'll definitely protect you from anything that tries to bring you harm!
Alice: Oh~
Alice: You're quite zealous. I like that.
Alice: It's nice to know someone is on my side for once...
Lucas: You can count on me!
Alice: Okay, I'll remember that.
Alice: Well, my house is pretty humble. Not much going on.
Alice: I've been down the mountain a little bit, but I don't like it here. I like to just hang out with the cats until I wake up.
Alice: I mean, who says I have to go outside or something, right?
Lucas: Yeah.
Alice: Guess we can add two more to the circle.

1. Continue being Lucas
2. Be Emily

Doesn't feel like we've been Lucas all that long but I don't see what much more we could do other than ease drop and hope to get some valuable information.

> 2

EDIT: Emily however needs a conjuration so she can begin learning to heal monsters and now that she's awake we can get her one.

Lucas can handle himself around Alice, and trying to level Azriel while Alice is around means the cats get a share. Plus, Derrick should be sleeping too, now, so Emily doesn't have to go do things by herself.

Derrick created the reapers' cloaks with one of Lucia's powers, "Garments of Obscurity", using his "A gift from my Maid" power that allows him access to Lucia's powers. No god powers neccecairy. His fear powers came in when he tried to ensure their loyalty.

I pretty much agree with the general consensus

let's get this show on the road.

> 2.

I really hope she gets a cool conjuration. It's always interesting to see what comes up.

Do remember that Emily's still at the hospital and isn't going to be at her house right away. If we want to get her a conjuration, we need to get to her house first.

Well we at least know where it is. We'll probably want to get some backup before we head there in case trouble shows up and we definitely want to consult Uilos about what we should expect.

idk, i just want to know what she might tell lucas for some reason

The real question is, if we're choosing Emily, will she be waking up at her house... or the Hospital :I (which, i mentioned once be4, is probably crawling with violent spirits). If waking up at the hospital, does she have something with a deep personal tie to her that she can form into a powerful conjuration?

Too many unknown unknowns with Emily. If we just leave her alone, she'll probably be fine (IP once mentioned that they wouldn't kill a main character offscreen ...would you, IP? :o )

>1 Keep being Lucas. Chill with Alice for a bit. Maybe go take down that tentacle monster outside.

Also, i just realized something... Lil' Mal presents itself to dreamers as a physical object sometimes.

What do you all think would happen if a dreamer tried to turn it into their new Conjuration? :D

can't we be Willford twins instead?

Previous events suggest she'll wake up in a seemingly random location in one of the realms. We could end up in LoCaD, LoMaM, or even right at her house in LoHaM. If we leave her alone she'll be okay but she also won't progress and we'll have to wait another dream for her to begin her power growth and we want to grow her ASAP since she offers an alternative to dealing with monsters that could gain us allies or allow others to grow without combat.

How are we gonna grow if she doesn't have a conjuration with her? the only options right now are
a) she's with the reapers chilling or somewhere safe
b) she's in a random location, potentially very unsafe

given iP's newlyfound sadistic streak, the latters seems the more likely possibility, so If we can't be willford twins, it may be best to just hang out with lucas a bit more.

Derrick is likely asleep, just like Alice. If Emily can get to one of the forts, he can come with her.
We don't want to just stay safe. We need to be making progress. If we try making progress as Lucas right now, we'd be helping Alice too; It's not as if we could convince him to leave her.

We need a conjuration to grow. If we be her we can go to her house and get a conjuration. It's not that complicated (Unless we end up in LoCaD in which case things will be very complicated). I recognize it is a gamble but if we don't take it it'll be one or more dreams before she starts and I'm pretty sure we do have somewhat of a time limit.
