>Emily: remember what the voodoo doll guardian said- Zendo is a new being with nothing behind him, as difficult as it sound, he can't be held accountable for his past actions. He's lost and alone in this dreadful place, and he needs help.

Definitely 1. Good to see Zendo again.

Also, Emily is now my favorite character, those abilities are awesome :3

Well that was fast! :o

Setting my vote on the >1 pile, setting the pile on fire, arranging a nice collection of river-rocks around the bonfire and settling down with a bag of marshmallows.

Anyone care to join me for this feelings-jam? ^^

I feel conflicted about what to do with Zendo (aside from letting him tag along for now). Maybe Emily's powers will kick-in somehow and purify him? ...who knows >.>

Also, with kalem being here, it means this level is actually a blackout-dream? ...or not? ...confused about how this works (<_<
I mean, if it's not, then did Kalem just spawn near where he died after a while?

I don't think Conjurations can have blackout dreams. Wiki made it seem like that was a dreamer thing.

> Emily: Zendo is docile. He will be of no harm, and may even aid you.

Kalem is definitely within a blackout dream, he's been stuck there since he died, we gotta figure out how to get him to ground level.

I'd really like to see what Zendo looks like in his normal form, for the time being let's take advantage of his amnesia to befriend him.

Guys do you recall when Uilos became lunatic, killed his fellow dreamers, turned into a monster and some girl restored him to normality? that must've been Emily! since emily can time travel thanks to the dump, it's entirely plausible.

this is some stable time loop shit going on, if we somehow fail to get Emily to heal Uilos wouldn't that cause a time paradox?

Given the nature of the construct I'm not sure normal time travel rules apply. Time only flows like this because Daydream decided it would. I doubt she accounted for someone abusing drifting through some void into various points in time to mess with stuff. This is compounded with dream time and logic probably mucking around with how it works as well.

You know wut, why don't we just have this settled in-story, for clarity's sake (as-well as the sanity of any new readers that may stumble upon the archive at MSPFA) xD

>Emily: Ask Kalem how is he here now if he died in that pit back there.

Seconding. I'm pretty sure Kalem is just stuck on level 2 rather than a blackout, and would go to level 3 if he died again here.

Also, >1

Emily's goal in coming here was to help Kalem. If that just means picking him up, then we may vanish shortly from Zendo's perspective. If that means getting him back to level 1, then we probably have plenty of time.

Emily: Yeah... You can come along.
Zendo: Wonderful.
Emily: ... And don't worry about before... When you almost...
[COLOR=#339933]Zendo: ...?
Emily: Never mind. There's a gate up ahead.
Emily: You may find a change of pace in Loham.
Zendo: I look forward to it.

You continue on your way with Zendo a foot behind you. Although he's attempted to harm you in the past, knowing he has forgotten everything about himself you still feel a little uneasy.

Emily: Kalem?
Kalem: Yes, ma'am.
Piper: ...Ew, don't call her ma'am!
Piper: Ms. Reed if you want to be polite!
Emily: I'm fine with just Emily... Actually.
Kalem: Whatever, what is it? What do you want?
Emily: You died in the hole back there, how did you get out?
Kalem: I didn't.
Kalem: When I came to, I was right outside of it.
Kalem: Normally if you die from some great fall, or say in a pit of lava. You don't perpetually spawn in the hole or the pit of lava.
Kalem: Could you imagine waking up only to die in a lava bath forever?
Piper: Sounds like hell.
Kalem: Exactly. Best not to question it.
Emily: I see...
Emily: We're almost there.

Lucia: Okay, so what did you want that's way out here, Bambino?
Bambino: I know when I'm needed.

While entering the trail of tragedy outpost you come across Bambino and Lucia!

Lucia: Emily? What are you doing here?
Lucia: And Why'd you bring him?!
Zendo: .....
Emily: I'm taking Kalem to Lexii.
Emily: I bumped into... Zendo?
Zendo: -shrugs-
Emily: Er... I bumped into him, and he wanted to tag along.
Lucia: What if he... (What if he remembers??)
Emily: ... Well, why not be nice to him for a change? Things don't have to stay the same.
Kalem: See? What did I tell ya. Grade "A" guardian right here.
Lucia: Well, you're on level 2 right now. How are you gunna get down?
Bambino: I can help with that.
Bambino: The reason I brought you here Lucia, is to help open the gate.
Bambino: Emily won't be able to on her own.
Piper: And how did you know she'd be here?
Bambino: I know when I'm needed.
Bambino: Though how rude of us. We have no introduced ourselves to the young guardian's conjuration.
Bambino: I am Bambino.
Ira: I'm Ira.

I brought Hot dogs and Chips! :3

Wow, magnificent updates, iP! Emily's bubble scene looked astounding.

And I guess this might explain how Uilos got his groove back: timey wimey bullshit. We're gonna have to have Emily and Piper do an elaboratory feelings jam on all that jazz sometime soon though, because it seems that's too important/useful not to have a full grasp on.

Hmm, I'm happy we're pacifying Zendo, but he's seeming a little more harsh than when we saw him after the last time. Maybe we should double check him while we have the chance?

>Kalem: Lucia's seeming pretty uptight about all this. If Zendo's health is back after the thrashing Derrick/Nightmare gave him he can pretty much do what he wants regardless of anybody's input right now, so the fact that you're not all puddles on the floor in the consistency of guacamole speaks volumes of his intentions, but mayhaps subtly informing her of his stats and hinting to Ira to tell Lucia what his disposition in will alay her worries and cause less drama and miscommunication down the line.

I'm feeling very verbose today, and I'm not quite sure why.

I second the motion in spirit, but i think it'd just be easier for Ira to do this herself rather than rely on bitter cookie

>Ira: check Zendo's disposition and discuss with Lucia

Some of the color tags seem to have excess quotation marks in that last post.

Hey, lucia still has a whole lot of BCS, doesn't she? We could make a door that we can connect to the forts later.

I'm not sure if there's anything that disproves it, I'd have to do some more reading to see if there is, but I think it is possible that Zendo and Ulios are the same person, especially since they both talk in green...I don't remember if we were introduced to Ulios before or after our last encounter with Zendo, does anyone remember?

We met Uillos before Derrick and Lucia went into the woods. They then teamed up with Emily and Lexii and had the encounter with Zendo in the trail of tragedy.

Moreover, Zendo does not recall his past at all, whereas Uillos does. Uillos, as an ex-godtier, is also far more powerful than Zendo and can't be him.

Edit: Since I was considering making a door to one of the forts, I made a map of them.

SpoilerShow

I propose we make a door to either Fort Kickass or the Nightfort, since those are closer to the Kids' bedrooms, allowing quicker retrieval of bodies should someone die. The Old fort would be more ideal, but Ruu is nested there and she's unlikely to apreciate new doors popping up.

thanks for the map! how helpful.

Speaking about Ruu, we must keep her and zendo away from eachother, I think Ruu will flip out if she sees him.

I'm just going to go with the fort leading Lexii's house, Derrick can use his marshmallow as a panic button, Lexii can't.
>Lucia: You should make a door to Fort Kickass so it's easier to reach this outpost in the future.

Kalem: Yes, ma'am.

When are they? The beach party was Tuesday night. Evidence suggests Wednesday day, perhaps as soon as late Tuesday night.

With the lack of an explicit time traveled to and the variable timescale of the dream levels, repeated bubble hopping could get confusing. Much better than the Farthest Ring, but still. Mage of TIme says bring it on.

A door to Fort Kickass is a good idea. But perhaps we could preemptively make one to either Gary or Emily's fort? We know their symbols.

Emily needs to be in her house in the waking world to make her fort, so we're not getting it till friday, and even then we might end up getting it later. It's a little far off for us to be making preparations for. Moreover, it's better we don't connect outposts to multiple forts; we can create doors in the overworld and connect them to outposts if we wish, as they're guarded by the outpost guardians. Using that wall space for forts seems wasteful.
