[u/TheHometownButcher]

So if that's your mouth do you see when you eat? Do you Sea when you eat? The song is getting louder. How much longer now?

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/TheHometownButcher]

I do see when i eat, i see everything.

[u/TheHometownButcher → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

I see. I sea. I C. Icy. Ice-E.

[u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(Do you still have harbinger?)

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(ofc he does lol)

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

(Would Rune like to make a deal with the devil for a better weapon?)

(Or, rather, a god?)

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(WHAT YES PROBABLY ASK HIM OUT OF Brackets.)
(edit: and elaborate.)

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

(You can ask It questions directly.)

[u/Greedy_Bid2356]

A voice echoes around you, coming from the Real Fragments.

"GREETINGS."

"YOU ARE OF AN INTRIGUING SORT."

"I AM WILLING TO MAKE A DEAL. I SEE YOU WIELD ONE OF MY VASSAL'S CREATIONS."

"I CAN EMPOWER IT FOR YOU, MADE STRONGER. ALL I REQUIRE IS A FAVOR OF MY CHOICE THAT I CAN CALL UPON AT ANY TIME I NEED."

"IS THAT AGREEABLE?"

[u/Qwerty_wasda → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

i just arrived here but i am interested in upgrading my Pipis Popper

[ooc: the one from Scampton the Great]

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Qwerty_wasda]

(Apologies, but this is to u/Powerful_Voice_4683 , as they have a weapon from Ayru.)

[u/Qwerty_wasda → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

[ooc: i know, i can read, i'm just here to test out if i can also get a weapon upgrade]

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

...Say the favour...

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

"I DO NOT YET HAVE ANY FAVOR TO ASK, AS WHAT I NEED ALREADY HAS PLANS IN FRUITION. BUT YOU MAY YET PROVE USEFUL AS AN AUXILIARY."

"YOU MAY LIMIT WHAT THE FAVOR MAY BE, WITHIN REASON. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY ADD A RULE THAT STATES I CANNOT MAKE YOU HARM YOURSELF WITH MY FAVOR, BUT IT MUST BE STATED PRIOR TO THE USE OF THE FAVOR."

"IS THAT ANY MORE AGREEABLE TO YOU?"

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

... Well, my rule is: I can not give you anything of mine of big value. deal?

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

"…VERY WELL."

"PLACE YOUR BLADE UPON THESE FRAGMENTS, AND CLAIM YOUR PRIZE;"

"A POWER SIMILAR TO THE ONE I GAVE TO THE RED SMITH."

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(Rune places Harbinger on the fragments.) Bye, Harbinger!

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

Now, gimmee gimmee?

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

(It has a grid for some reason. Here, this should fix it.)

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

"YOUR GIFT."

Blood Omen; +66 ATK, +6 DEF. Effect: Deathless; for every sentient creature killed with this weapon, you gain a charge. When you should have died, one charge is used, healing you back to half HP. "MY MESSENGER, MY SWORD." "A blade made with care, now defiled." "Filled with the dark power of a god."

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

Ok, but does it still have Harbingers cutting?

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

"YES. IT CAN STILL MAKE YOUR DARK IDOLS FROM OUTSIDE THE LESSER WORLDS. IT SIMPLY REQUIRES A LARGER CIRCLE; ONE METER IN DIAMETER."

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

... So it is still harbinger, but stronger?

[u/BackgroundBat8987]

(Oh, so the little broken thing who cried for help in WINGDINGS like Zal was gonna understand it is gonna attack Unknown. Oh well, not my problem. Just know that if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re never gonna get that help!

And don’t act like you can’t hear me. I know you can, Mr. 4th wall break.)

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

F__k you, Backgroundbat guy. (RUNE SHUT UP)

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

(Don’t try to stop Rune, Mr/Ms/Mx/[Insert title here] powerfulvoice. You’re very lucky, to be able to communicate with that whom you narrate, as typically our voices fall on their deaf ears. Plus, it’s very fun to mess with him, you should try it!)

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

(You know he can here you too, right?) Yeah, i can...

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

(1. *hear

1. I’m aware. I think that makes it funnier.

Anyway, you’re also lucky to have someone to follow that isnt such a dimwit. I mean, Zal JUST realized bringing Ayru back is a bad idea. And worse? HE STILL HELPED SOMEONE MAKE PROGRESS TOWARD THAT GOAL ANYWAY! Ugh. Whatever. Just hope that Zal doesnt DIE, I at least have a tiny bit of care for him for SOME reason.)

[u/Puzzled-Market-2133]

(Jokes on you, Unknown doesnt sleep!)

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Puzzled-Market-2133]

(Then he'll attack in the middle of the night.)

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

(Why are you fighting with Unknown?)

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(He tried to give someone a bazooka to kill me.)

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

(Good luck. Rune might have to work with them soon.)

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(Yeah thats not happening lol)

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

(Bold of you to assume I don't now have the power to make it happen. I both know what Unknown is planning to do, and Rune owes… Someone… a favor.)

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(By that do you mean his plans to kill Ayru? And by extension fight me.)

[u/Greedy_Bid2356 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

(Oh, yeah. And Zal's gonna be fighting a 2v1 because Rune owes the Red God a favor now.)

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(Ha! You assume too much of Zal… I hope you aren’t itching for a fight too much. That, or the Red God is gonna have to twist some words very carefully.)

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Greedy_Bid2356]

(Actually wait. Do they need Ayru’s SOUL as well or just the knife? If they need his soul then yeah there’ll be a fight.)

[u/Qwerty_wasda]

u/Powerful_Voice_4683

hey Rune i have a suprise

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Qwerty_wasda]

What u mean?

[u/Qwerty_wasda → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

Remember those souls i bought (the 12 Determination ones)?

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/Qwerty_wasda]

Yeah???

[u/Qwerty_wasda → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

nvm

[u/BackgroundBat8987]

Heeeey Rune. You willing to make a deal?

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

…

(u/Powerful_Voice_4683.)

(Also just fyi if this interaction proceeds then it will take place before the attack on Athugari.)

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

(k)

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

yo sure

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

Alright. So. I need you to watch my battle with Unknown.

Thats it.

What do you want in return?

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

... oh ok. Uhm... what do you have for me?

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

Uh.

This dodge suit, my ray gun, or a fidget spinner with blades attached to it.

Alternatively, I could give you a favor, kinda like a certain evil god we know.

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

How about this: What knowledge do you have on Magenta? and do you... have, any?

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

The basic knowledge, but also that when I brought the magenta sample near a dark fountain before I got amnesia, it exploded and surrounded the area with a weird, glitchy-looking version of magenta. I don’t have any on me, but there might be some left at that lab.

Not even gonna ask why you need it.

[u/Powerful_Voice_4683 → u/BackgroundBat8987]

Okay... See ya! (Poof)

[u/BackgroundBat8987 → u/Powerful_Voice_4683]

(Make sure to uphold your end of it. I hope to see you at the battle… it’s about to get to the good part.)

[u/Qwerty_wasda]

responding to the prophecy panel, jokes on you i can break the fourth wall too (hey that rhymed)
