[You have escaped. Congratulations, surely all your problems are over and you can return to your apartments- Oh, wait, no.]

I guess that makes sense. I've noticed that people you hire tend to get really mad when you have to make any sort of cutback or change.

The administrator of the popular online board Make Waves has been arrested for inciting riots. At her arrest, she has confessed to worshipping the Servants, and deliberately stirring up riots and anti-God sentiment in her board. She is believed to have deliberately planned many if not all of the riots in the past month. Her board has been shut down, and now we may have peace once more.
And then the screen goes dead. Not far left... ]

They killed themselves from the inside out.
Imagine I said that in red. Because it should be.
no subject
...You don't need to tell me that. But it sounds like Servants isn't the same as a butler or something, in this case.
no subject
It was a glorious thing, you can see white marble through the soot, broken statues littering the ground that once rivalled the Michael. Far larger than any of the temples on Atuin, this is the temple to the God itself.
And it is patterned in waves.]
no subject
I think this might be a temple to the Ocean god.
Who I think might be evil.
...We should be ready for a fight, just in case.
no subject
You're probably right, though. But if this is what the Game Master wants us to see, then we have to see it.

[Ed pushes open the door.]

The God appears on a world of raging water, alone.
He builds an island, and He crafts people to live on it, people in His image with all the traits of Humans, Long, Bast and Angha.
They shine like a beacon, so brightly that things begin to reach towards the world. Black things that eclipse the moon and sun, things reaching with twisted limbs and baring fractal teeth.
So He reaches into the crystal heart of the world and breaks away four crystals.
In His hands, they become four people, each a pale mirror to His own brilliance, for they only have one trait each of the species.
The blue-robed one, holding a sparkling rainbow fire, him merely the human body.
The red-robed one, casting dice with a smile, she who possesses only the glorious wings of the Angha.
The green-robed one, grasping a halberd, with the strength of the Long.
The yellow-robed one, wielding a sword, with the ears and eyes of the Bast.
Those four kneel at the four corners of the world and keep away the dark things while He stands king over all.
It ends there.
There is an altar at the back of this room, a heavy wooden thing, with a priest slumped over it clutching a scroll.
In the far corner there is an door opened to the first steps of a spiral staircase leading upwards.]
no subject
[But he feels like he's missing something. So he'll go get that scroll.] Sorry, old man.
no subject
The Ocean god made the world of water, then made a island. Then he made the original race--those zombie guards from before.
Then something bad came for the things on the island, and he split his power among four other gods too. So... then they held back the darkness... and the Ocean god watched over everything... and he made the islands, too.
This kinda. Is important. Really important. But why does everyone hate him? That's... actually things a good god would do.
no subject
It shows five cities.
East Blue, the city drenched in magic on the surface, attributed- To Isate, wait, what?
Atuin, the floating city of Cang Long.
These two, at least, aren’t changed:
Sakmet, the city of Metoth.
Saena, the city of Angha.
Those four each have a red cross somewhere on them, an X marks the spot in places you might know as untamed wilderness where nothing is. Totally. Of course the tourist and other modern maps of the cities are entirely accurate, trust your gods.
And the fifth, the capital in the center of all four:
Righad, the capital city.
There’s an extra new addition to the map, a messy scrawl of ‘Dome Righad’ on a piece of blank ocean.
But the map doesn’t end merely with the world. It shows a blank stretch of stars, and there’s an X up there, too...]
no subject
Ed holds out a hand.
Now there are two maps, and he pockets the duplicate.]
no subject
Let's try the staircase.
no subject
A gate is present in it, a mirror to the gate present in Atuin. But all of its exposed crystals are dark, and it does not do anything more than glow a little harder at their presence.
It's going to need power, a lot of power, and that is a problem because in the distance through the open windows you can see the tentacle mouthed monsters pouring out of the jail. Left to attack the guards, the guards left to mindlessly attack them, splitting, splitting...
An army of hungry scaled things is pouring out, and, well, a gigantic magic signal...]
no subject
Whoopsie.
no subject
[Not that it really matters, with this much magic here, but he has to try. He hums it more than he sings it...if it can repair broken things, maybe he can make the crystals remember having energy. It'd be the same as changing batteries, in a sense.
Besides, he's the Endless Sorcerer now. Of course he can 'revive' some crystals, dammit, or Beato won't let him hear the end of it.]
Come, remember what energy you had...Don't you remember?
no subject
Oh and Ed, here they come. There's an army of them charging down the street, towards the temple, towards food.]
no subject
[To buy Battler time, Ed flies a little out of the window, and focuses as much power as he can reasonably allow into a Sanctuary, covering the steet with it to bar the passage forward.]
STOP RIGHT THERE, TENTACLE DEMONS!
no subject
They were young once. Bright, full of energy, perfect. Come on, don't they remember? Surely they can still remember what form they had, what energy they had.]
no subject
They bash up against the sanctuary.
But you know what's great about really loud shouting? It attracts other things.
A massive bone golem snake punches through the ground underneath Ed, mouth open.]
no subject
[Unsure how long the sanctuary will end up holding at this point, he keeps it going as long as he can, a hand raised to it to channel power into it--the more seconds it stands for the more seconds Battler has to coax the crystals back into working order, after all.
His other hand levels at the Bone Golem, and an orange point of energy appears in it, quickly turning red and firing in a large Burst stream towards the snake. With any luck that'd be enough to get it to turn back--if not he was about to have to get out of there really fast, and that would really suck for many reasons.]
no subject
[WORK, DAMMIT.]
no subject
The tentacle-mouthed things attach themselves to the sanctuary and they-
They devour it. Whole.
And they keep coming.
The bone golem reels from the blast, shattering a rotten building as it falls.]
no subject
Greeeat.
Okay. It's fine. I've got this! Let's just...
[He holds his hands forward, landing a bit away from the demons.] Radiant frost of the betrayer's hell! Lay waste to my enemies! Cocytus flare!
[And he's firing a burst of power forward that will be freezing a good hundred feet or so's worth of air and ground and hopefully tentacle demons straight at the mass.]
