>I met some cool characters but it was hard to focus on with the complete clusterfuck that happened on that planet. I lost a crewmember as well as a couple other characters I'd rather have kept alive, including my previous crew which I ran into but then killed one and ruined the lives of the rest. On the bright side, I met The Future and The Past, who agreed to... "help" me. The Past seems to be the one calling the shots and his idea of helping doesn't seem very helpful, but at least they don't think I'm a jerk.
>And if allying with a Limbo God isn't enough for ya, I met Hades and Persephone. Persephone I didn't really talk to, you know how underworld gods are, but I roomtrapped Hades and got to talk to him. And show him how bad kidnapping is so he's patching things up with his wife now. I also learned my player avatar has the power to pull objects out of the future, which can be pretty bad if I'm not careful... RIP markers for the rest of the universe. And I got an appointment with Eris because apparently I'm a chaos god?
>Oh, on the bad news I forgot to mention my starting character lost all her red and green traits. I'm not really sure what to do about that, they were burned off her stat page... Game 2 of a Sun God run and all that. Do you think she'll get new traits on her own, or should I be looking for some potions or something? I'm not just gonna ditch her.

You: Well I met with two limbo gods.
AbsoluteTrash: Oh oh oh! Which ones?
You: Well it was the same god kind of, the Future and the Past! Turns out I met them before but didn't know.
AbsoluteTrash: Ugh those two? Worst limbo gods ever! Can't believe those 2 are the ones you met first. You have like, totally bad luck or something.
Show Content
Spoiler
AbsoluteTrash: Though them being people you met before isn't surprising. Limbo gods like to sneak their gross hands into everything you do! Trying to effect the things you do the best they can.
You: Oh. They seemed like ok people, I mean, the Future seemed alright.
AbsoluteTrash: That's what you think, but the moment you leave an opening they go in for the kill! At least you're a newbie so they'll take it easy on you for 1 or 2 universes.
AbsoluteTrash: Errrr wait, you kept the Fortuna rewards right? Yeeeeah ok they likely believe you're some pro player then, whoops.

Spoiler
You: Also one of my crew members and a robot I just made on the planet died too. It was pretty bad.
AbsoluteTrash: Only 1 crew member and a robot? Ooooh man, I guess maybe you aren't unlucky. That's like, super lucky to land on a planet with a limbo god and not come out with half of your crew dead and the other half turned in to alligators.
AbsoluteTrash: That happened to me once. It was The Best Thing Ever. It's the only way to unlock the alligator species anyway so like.....got to do it for completion sake you know?
You: Oh, it was kind of tense and a little sad though.
AbsoluteTrash: You'll like, get used to it, It's [Fortuna], you're going to have a total party kill sooner or later, and then after that 10 more! It's fun.

Spoiler
You: Oh yeah, I might have accidently burned off all of one of my characters red and green traits. Will they like, regrow that sooner or later?
AbsoluteTrash: Oh my god. You are even more adorable than Cowboy said. No they won't silly, those traits are gone forever now! But don't worry they might get a new green trait, or red, if you try. If it's late game though I'd just toss em to the side and in to safety to make room for someone else though. Why'd you even burn their traits anyway? Like to be honest, their traits are like, part of their character, even the red one so I just, always keep them?
You: Well my character got really sick.
AbsoluteTrash: This is why you always have to keep a medic on team!
You: Well. I have one I just, did it anyway.
AbsoluteTrash: Oooooooooooooh, poor newbie mistake. Yo, check it, if you have a medic, and your character is sick or hurt, let your medic do their job? Else what are you even carrying around a medic for honestly???
You: I sure do make a lot of mistakes....
AbsoluteTrash: Welcome to Fortuna kid, grab a number and stand in the mistake line like the rest of us cause you never stop making mistakes. I've been playing for a while and I still make the dumbest mistakes, honestly just learn to laugh at your mistakes!

AbsoluteTrash: I was in a stream with cowboy like, 2 days ago and he just. Freaking. Opens a door with a large DANGER, TERRORDACTYL, sign on it. Just. Who even does that.
You: Uh.......
AbsoluteTrash: Amazing. All of you are Amazing people. I love each and every single one of you.

You: Oh yeah, I also did a roomtrap for the first time and got the Hades ship for solving a riddle! Or well...my patrons solved the puzzle, I almost messed it up.
AbsoluteTrash: How rude of them to solve the puzzle for you.
You: Uh. Excuse me?
AbsoluteTrash: DUDE! It's SO RARE to find Hades and you find him in your game? If you lose the puzzle he basically becomes a part of your crew. Like someone explain to me the downside of having an uber helpful robot on your crew controlling one of them. Then again I guess you have Athena so maybe you didn't want to lose more control?
You: I guess, I mean the crew member he was going to take was the one that died anyway.
AbsoluteTrash: RIP.

AbsoluteTrash: What did your avatar look like?
You: It's hard to explain, I just kind of don't like the way it looks.
AbsoluteTrash: I mean, your gameplay style affects the way your avatar looks but once you got a base avatar that's basically it. If you want to get another avatar type you gotta universe scum, basically delete the universe, play one game, check your avatar, and if it's not what you want delete it again. Ever spot Cowboy's avatar running around or did the AIs kill him already?
You: Huh? Other player's avatars can be in your game?
AbsoluteTrash: Yep! And like, cowboy's game comes from a loooooooooooooong line of games, the Fortuna Conga line. We basically got "generations" of games going on! So you might see a few buuuuut your game also comes from the Sun God line soooo pretty sure the AIs have killed at least 99% of the players. Poor little player AIs, they actually believe they had their soul sucked in to the game. It's pretty funny honestly. Anyway what are you doing now?

You: Well I'm currently on the Eris planet. I'm off to go meet Eris.
AbsoluteTrash: You got Athena as your patron and you're going to meet Eris? A++++ good stuff, you're going to be laughing your butt off the whole time, that planet is awesome! Well unless you hate characters dying or getting new arms time to time.

>Tiffany lamp and robot-shaped lamp
>Changes can be fun but I don't have any high-luck characters here so it probably won't be... but hey at least it's a good chance to get that one character some new traits right? Unless I could like... write over the burned parts. Would that do anything or would it just be scribbles over scorch marks?
(This game is ridiculous and if "burning traits" is something that comes up often enough for you to know that off-hand then I figured it was worth asking.)
>As for dying, not big on that but I'd better be prepared for it since after this planet I'm gonna be meeting ANOTHER Limbo God. The Helper. My patrons think if we can enlist the help of the Limbo Gods we can defeat the Sun God, but it ain't gonna be that easy is it?
>What about talking to the Sun God... I mean that also sounds impossible on the face of it but it hasn't been tried nearly as much right?
(If she says something like "hahaha you can't talk to it it's the SUN GOD" then reply with the exact same thing but with "defeat" instead of "talk to".)

I haven't been sleeping so well recently -_-) Also, i thnk i might have an idea where those past A.I. went... See, the weird thing about my avatar is that besides the main head it also has 4 screens. And on those screens sometimes pop up different faces with different personalities.... And i am actually one of those lost souls...

> You: So there's this winged serpent fellow posing as one of my crewmembers' imaginary friends. Supposedly he's like a dreamwalker but not really. The crewmember plans on wishing him into reality, but the "friend" is kinda shady and manipulative and I have a hunch he's planning something big. Maybe he came from "under the game," ringing any bells?

>Robot-shaped-lamp and butter lamp. We seem to have an unhealthy obsession with robots, and the butter lamp might produce food rations - which may be useful if we keep the terrordactlys. But this being Eris's planet, it's probably just a block of butter that glows.
You: What did Cowboy's avatar look like? Maybe I've come across it. You said that the old player AIs start going on about having their souls sucked into the game... By any chance do you happen to know if anyone followed up with the original players, or if a player ever tried to talk to their player AI after it starts encountering an existential crisis?
[Hey Helios, Athena; would it be of any benefit if we, the voices of You, distinguished between ourselves when talking to you? We do do a bunch of communicating between us and <redacted> that doesn't always be conveyed to you - either being entirely censored or reworded by <redacted>]
Hey I was just wondering... This being the sun god route and V1's are expected to be killed and such... Does that mean that we have a possibility of one of our patrons dying? Like something happening along the lines of Helios going out in a dramatic way, with a fake reassuring smile pasted on his face?
