>Derrick: What if you combined Tales of the Abyss with Tales of the Abyss?

Would that make Tales of the Double Abyss? 2xTales of the Abyss? Tales of the Abyss II?

Ooh... a sequel. Since the current tales of the Abyss tells you information about about your current area while in a dream... would the sequel tell you about future events? That seems a little less than possible... but worth a try.

I thought we couldn't combine Tales of the Abyss with anything. Remember when we had it in our inventory and it said that we wouldn't be able to combine it with anything? Isn't it an essential item or something?

Lucia: Return to the fort network and test out your new power




You and Lucia return to Alice's fort.

Lucia: Hmm, let's take a look.
Lucia: ....
Lucia: Hehe... These pictures...
Lucia: And descriptions...
Ira: Your thoughts are emptied into this book while in my possession.
Ira: So the artwork and terminology may not be the best... >u>
Ira: But it saves you from having to update it manually.

Lucia: Neato!
Ira: I can spawn one monster at a time. You may dismiss them to replace for another.
Ira: If they fall in battle, I can re-spawn them back after a little while.
Ira: If all of the monsters manage to fall, then You'll have to switch out to a different weapon while they take time to return.

That painting of a stack of pancakes looks so ominous for some reason... it's ridiculous! xD

>Lucia: Summon Vorrus, ask her why she sacrificed herself to save your life.

>Derrick: go back to your room, grab all your shirts from the closet and put them in your backpack, may as well make more armor for the reapers, then check out LOCAD's tales of the abyss, maybe it'll have something of interest.

This is good, because it means we can use the summoned Flimsy to take control of the area around Lucia's house again. That's really good for finding and dealing with monsters, and it lets us avoid fights we don't want. It's a start for actually taking control of the realm, so I'm actually really happy about this.

>Derrick: go back to your room, grab all your shirts from the closet and put them in your backpack, may as well make more armor for the reapers, then check out LOCAD's tales of the abyss, maybe it'll have something of interest.

What about having him combine his backpack across all the shirts, then combine the resulting backpacks together into one super backpack, ejecting the redundant shirt items?

I partially want to do this just for experimentation, but I also think having a backpack with 12 inventory slots would be plain better.

> Lucia: Summon Flimsy, his powers would be the most useful by far.

>Derrick: Explore the trap door for crafting ingredients.

(This is after Lucia tries out her journal of course.)

Can we un-summon things without incurring the penalty? If so
>Summon all things, do the talky thing.

In the last panel Ira tells us she can only summon one at a time.

>Derrick: Explore the trap door for crafting ingredients.

(This is after Lucia tries out her journal of course.)

that trapdoor probably requires a code, so

>Lucia use shadow veil, become intangible and peek inside the trapdoor

that trapdoor probably requires a code, so

Actually this trapdoor doesn't have a numbers thingy on it unlike the ones in the night fort, the sight fort and the trail of tragedy outpost.

> Lucia: Summon Flimsy, his powers would be the most useful by far.

This, yes.
Flimsy could create illusory copies of itself and others... can those same powers create giant holograms?

Lucia: Summon Vorrus, ask her why she sacrificed herself to save your life



You call out the name "Vorrus"! Before your eyes Vorrus materialises from the surrounding darkness in the room.

Lucia: Oh wow!
Derrick: Looks just like you... I mean her.
Derrick: I mean... You know what I mean.
Lucia: Vorrus, why did you sacrifice yourself for me??
Ira: >u> It's me, Ms. Lucia.
Ira: Vorrus along with any of the monsters in the grimoire is just a mask I can wear.
Ira: Vorrus is no more.
Ira: I guess truly, we will never know what purposes she had in store for us.
Lucia: Aww...
Ira: I sort of like this form, oddly enough.
Ira: Looking like you sort of makes me feel like you more.
Lucia: But aren't you already me?
Ira: What I mean is, the me that's me is not the you that's you.
Ira: While in this form, I feel closer to the me that's you.
Lucia: I... see??
Ira: >u< It is quite confusing, I've come to realise.
Lucia: So what can you do as Vorrus?
Ira: Hmm... It sort of works on a command basis.
Ira: Just tell me what to do, and if it's in my job description I'll be able to.
Lucia: Ahh...

>See if she can make a blockade with that stringy stuff

(As seen here and here.)

Edit:
>Vorrus was a reaper, right? See if she can heal you.
(Said to Lucia here)

>Lucia: Make Ira lift Derrick with the tentacles to test her strength

See if she can make a blockade with that stringy stuff




You tell Ira to make black veiny shit. She attempts to.

Lucia: Cool!
Ira: I'm not sure to what extent Vorrus had in terms of power control.
Ira: So things I do may be quite powerful unintentionally.
Ira: This stuff I've created is known as shadow snare.
Ira: Call it out to hold someone or something still or to create a blockade.
Lucia: Try to lift Derrick, I want to see how strong you are.
Ira: Ok. ouo
Derrick: Don't I get a say in this??

Show ChatlogShow

Ira: Not too heavy.
Derrick: ......
Lucia: Haha! How's the view from up there, Derrick?
Derrick: Unsettling...

> Lucia: Unblock the door. The last thing you want is to cause trouble for someone out of negligence.

>Lucia: See if you can remove the snare with your scythe. It's spreading all over the door.

No need to mention starting fights.

Lucia: Unblock the door. The last thing you want is to cause trouble for someone out of negligence

Lucia: Hehe... Okay maybe we should undo this.
Lucia: Can I cut this stuff off?
Ira: You may try but I seem to have spawned some sort of creature.
Ira: .... If I take off this form all my powers should cease.
Ira: Or you can let this play out.
Ira: What should I do?

1. Cancel Vorrus summon
2. See what happens.

Stuff that happens on the lower levels doesn't reach upward right?

I'm gonna vote >2

>1: I think we've had enough bullshit involving locked doors, thank you very much.

We can always try this again when we have somebody to look at stats and stuff, and see what it actually is. We are literally about to meet up with 3+ of said people. Plus there's no practical reason for us to do such a thing any time in the direct future (but maybe after we deal with Lethos, who knows?).

Heyo: Things spread away from ground level, if I recall correctly. So if we do a thing on level 3 it will apply to levels 4,5,6,etc....

Edit: Forgot to mention that I think this might spawn a monster, or possibly do something that is not easily reversible. Or otherwise just be a pain in the ass we don't actually need right now.

>2 i think we should see since we migth get a new ally

>2 because i'm interested to see what happens
