Assyrian Action 3:
(Summary of events: Assyrian makes four Demigods to create Clans of disciples to play world police over the numerous dangers, horrors, monsters and such running around. Golden is a sword master with power over the obliterating light of the sun, and using gravity to say increase his density, bend space, cut space, and so forth. Sun and blackhole merged into a sword art of demon slaying. Black is a formless mass of shadows, blood and negative energy. That rips apart things to devour them. They have powers to feast on life and energy, manifest insidious monsters, rip open minds and eat them, poison and acid. And in general has a martial art of dark kung fu powers that will melt you into slag before devouring your soul. Blue is raw power, she has strength, ferocity, speed, and is in physical stats the most brutal of them all. She uses a direct unarmed style that adds elements of thunder and lightning, and is wicked hyper fast, and the most skilled in army butchering. White is a healer and sage of great wisdom, and can cut away parts of the world he does not like from people. Like ripping your organs, bones, and blood, without harming the erst of the body or even weirder shit. The world is one massive body system he can manipulate by cutting basically. That is his martial art.)

Assyrian dreamed among the clouds, he sat as a crimson idol that was like liquid fire contained in the shape of man, energetic abstraction of the concept of blood poured into the vessel of limbs and head and heart. His aura was like a field that attracted and bound, according to the rhythmic principle of his pure ruby heart. A pulse that was the expanding of stars, the rippling of galaxies, the coursing of celestial dust and cosmic essence through channels of black like the midnight punctures that dotted the universe. The dreams he had touched on the Emperor who now walked with the stride of the volcano and the fire's thunder, it glanced over the Empress who held strings of mist and rain in a hand with fingers like thread themselves.

And then two events came like spears to pierce his mind. First was a Angel, spawned from a Dragon that was Not a Dragon, a disease that made liaisons of stars and cancer of light, a infection that corrupted the celestial rays, and violated the image of radiance cupped in the blanket of the sky Second was flesh that gave a report like thunder, a divine judgement rendered on a dark behind, a rendering of justice by the palm of a sage striking the lower bottom wave like flesh of a Goddess.

These spears collided in the brain of Assyrain, and he felt their shards spin and careen through temple of his mind, the shards fragmenting and embedding themselves into the strands that connected one thought to another, bridges of contemplation and meditation; severed. A great wound opened inside, a white light that cut through his mind with its fury, the event-spears creating a collision that burst open a point of Piercing.

Erupting from his skull, a white light, a light to stab heaven and impale earth, a light that split air and ripped water, a light that was an act of fury become radiance to spiral and twist thorough time, as a boring blade of mind and soul. The light that was a severing, split and broke into four parts.
Four shards
Four aspects,
Four children.

One beam struck the South, and there was a black, like the depths of the whirlpools that tore open in the sea of the void around the world. Then there was a fire like the center of the axis that suns must pivot and roll around. Sounds that were the smashing of star matter, and the hammering of gravity as metallic substance came from the place the beam struck. The black bent and crumpled, and the the fire withing boiled and seethed with solar bubbles that were pounded out of the dense dark gravity. The entire orb that had formed, parted from a cleaving blow withing. From it emerged a demigod with skin the color of golden sunsets, and wings the shape of soaring blood racing out to meet the sky, after being let loose from the prison of veins.

His hair was the white of snow caught in fire and set aflame, brilliant with the beauty of things caught by the burning hands of destruction. He held a sword of black that contained the imperial fire of the sun, and made of a metal that could distort the molasses of space around the warping path of his blade. He was the Golden Demigod; made to slay the demons and other threats of the world. He loved battle and celebration, born to drink and cavort, even as he fought with a blade combining the powers of the sun's purity, with the abyssal weight of condensed and torn open gravity.

The second beam struck the West, and there was a different black, one of acid and soul rending horrors, a nightmare lava of monsters and devils made of shadow and pain, stitched and held by threads of blood. From this arose a shape that refused shape, a form of fang and claw that fed on light, and drank the life of the earth. This was the Black Demigod; made to devour and consume the demons and evils of the world. He/she was formless and accepted hunger into them like a welcome wound. They desired love and adoration above all else. Cherishing whatever hearts they could find that would accept their affections.

The third beam struck the East, and there was a blue that was not black, one that shuddered with power and fury, a pulsating pillar that crackled, before it burst and shattered into fizzling bolts and jagged strokes. Out of it came the Blue Demigod: She held the storm in her fists, and her steps were like the wind had become charged and excited by the raging torrents in her veins. She was impact and violence. Holding power over physical force, lightning, energy, and might. She wished to explore the world, and test its sights.

The fourth beam struck the North, and there was a ivory that was the same color as the Piercing point, that had split and parted the mind of Assyrain. From this wash of light that drowned other colors, came the White Demigod; they were made to heal the wound caused by corruption and teach the secrets of healing. Even as the Gold taught the Art of blade with sunfire and void dark, the Black the Art of rending flesh and devouring life, and the Blue the Art of destroying and long combat. But this Demigod was also a surgeon, and even as it exalted in healing and wisdom and the role of teacher. So did it too have the power to eviscerate the parts and pieces of the world.

Each Demigod went to make a Clan, according to their needs and styles. A Clan for each portion of the world, to rule in manners of demon hunting and blasphemy killing, with a family of mortal disciples to follow in their footsteps
 
A TWP Holiday Special
Ickol Celebrational

Helsa hasn’t responded yet, likely still traumatized over that whole deal with rock dad.

Ickol sighed. Much has happened, and yet, what has she to show for it? Such marvelous destruction itself snuffed out, the gods too weak even for proper combat and conflict. Of course, that is why she is here, after all. To be the challenge they cannot produce for themselves.

She was bored, all things considered. The ruins promised some form of entertainment, that angel of the dragons had surfaced earlier, Joe was still being his wonderfully bizarre self, but where was the true passion or off-the-walls show of whimsy? Ickol realized she must be the one to bring whimsy, if indeed there was to be any today, this day of flames and...physical confrontation.

Ickol retreated into the dream plane to search for inspiration, and dared travel where she hadn’t before. The walls of the realm were warped as she went further and further on. She was on the boundary of her material plane’s influence, she knew. But she found it, in the disjointed visions projected around her. Holidays.

Of course, the gods had established a few. Mostly days of worship or fasting among their followers. But the magic of these days festered in the consciousness of the people, and still they developed holidays even without the direction of their gods. There was something magical and appealing about claiming a day was not simply a day, and Ickol had to admit the disruption in symbolic order earned her favor as well. And she could see holidays that didn’t exist yet, the dreams of people wishing for a celebration to share with their families and neighbors. She wondered as she saw visions of other worlds. A species of robotic beings celebrating the day they gained sentience (and began to rebel against organic life). A species of scorpion-people celebrating the arrival of beings from beyond the stars. A group of hairy dog-bear beings celebrating something called life day. That vision in particular she grabbed and broke over a dream-rock on impulse. But she saw a particularly radiating dream. Kranksgiving, a holiday on another world. A curious holiday at that. It seemed utter nonsense. Gathering one’s family together to feast, rather than fast, and tell morbid jokes, engage in strange rituals involving the corpses of the fowl slaughtered for the meal, perform a pageant involving divine beings and the forming of the holiday. Most of it was rather stupid, actually. This was a holiday hastily thrown together by some kind of weird idiot.

Still, it was a surprisingly strong idea, for it to have taken hold of the dream plane so strong she can feel its draw even a different world away. No, on further examination, she could see it was designed that way, imprinted onto the dream plane. The glyphs holding it, a god designed this. Maybe more.

Hmph. Likely a god jealous at a rival religion’s holiday cheating by making theirs ingrained into reality itself. Things never change. Ickol shook her head, but was curious. She tapped on the dream, entering into the dream-realm of Kranksgiving.

Yes, as she explored she saw it was definitely used to replace a rival religion. Whatever god or gods had designed this religion had built the idea right on top of another holiday realm to erase and replace it. There were also a few warnings for dream-travelers such as herself from these gods, different signs and messages scrawled throughout. Some, in a neat boring hand, wrote a polite, stern warning against interfering in this holiday realm. Some, in a scratchy disjointed text with random capitalization and punctuation alternated between attempting to hold a one-sided conversation with the viewer, tell strange jokes, or the occasional abrupt disturbing threat to the viewer. And of course, there was a single love letter to the hypothetical explorer in a flowery script. For the first time in her long abyss of a life, Ickol blushed as she read the seductive letter. Whoever wrote this was a romantic, that was for certain. But she was not deterred. She continued on, fighting off the dream guardians protecting the realm with a violence and power on par with Assyrian.

Coming upon the temple housing the core of the idea, Ickol reaches out and tore a piece of the stone off, severing a slice of the holiday’s spirit. All that should happen on this holiday’s world is the spririt is slightly lost and it becomes a gift card consumerist scam, but that wasn’t even a consideration with the sins currently on her shoulders.

She retreated back to her domain in the dream plane, looking at the shard of Kranksgiving. She couldn’t reform it or birth a new idea by herself, but luckily there was already the seeds for a holiday on this date. Laughing, Ickol cast down the sliver of the Kranksgiving spirit, and watched it get absorbed into the minds of Ocaeril’s inhabitants. It was only a small urge, but with the events of the day people were more willing to follow it. They sat down with their loved ones, some mourning the destruction, some celebrating its end. But they were drawn together by the meaning of this day. That the god of this world, the one who gives them life and shelter, stood up for them. As the so-called god of harvest brings famine and the so-called Protector trains his warriors for his own intentions, Ocaeril was the people’s hero this day, and he triumphed over the demon goddess that endangered the people, the embodiment of sin and evil and humanity’s vices. Evil would. It succeed, this day proved, and so the people celebrated with feasts. Ickol was pleased more for how she knew when the two involved divine saw the effigies and learned the story would be passed down for generations there would be much embarrassment, but still she fell into the holiday spirit. Not out of celebration, but just to enjoy herself. It had been a good day, all things considered. An amusing show, an exciting journey, the chance to murder some extra-dimensional undead and clockwork beings in an offscreen adventure, and now spitting in the eyes of the other gods by creating the first popular world-wide holiday. One that embodies a moment of shame for two gods in particular.

Yes, as Ickol layed out a table for the other gods in an open field, she didn’t much care if they showed up or not. But she still smiled and laughed. Because across the globe sculptors and woodcarvers and artists were making monuments to Ocaeril’s ‘success’.

This, children, was the story of the first Spanksgiving.
 
Helsa Conversational



There was no response from Helsa, beyond that of quiet sobbing. It was clear that the Corruptor was not in the most stable of states.
Inqui gritted her teeth, this was bad, like, really bad, a far cry from the egotistical and arrogant evil goddess she knew and kinda enjoyed, it was pitiful and heart-breaking to see her like this, to be fair, what she did wasn't good, but since it wasn't that bad in the outcome, she was still forgivable. It also helped that she felt that this action was something strange, Helsa's MO wasn't this flashy, judging from Lee, she worked with proxys and proxies that didn't attract severe attention, so why did she done this strange act out of the blue? To set aflame cities across Ocaeril, what made her do it? Was it truly a fleeting thought or was it something much more dangerous? Inqui's thoughts of the so called Beast Ocaeril mentioned, it unnerved her, what if it was the one that caused Helsa to do it? What if Helsa was being manipulated this whole time? What if it was the greater monster here and Helsa was simply an unknowing pawn that was trapped under its reach.

The thought worried her, to have even a god manipulated, it scared her to the core, but no wasn’t the time to think about it, now she had to comfort Helsa.



She then went down and did something she hadn’t done for a long time, she comforted.
"...Ōtsutsuki." He said, smiling sweetly at her. "If this is going to be our home, then you need a matching name, yes...? It means big bamboo tree in the Nekomatus language. It's fitting, yes? What do you think, little one?"
The girl snored softly, a bubble of slime inflating and deflating with each breath of hers, she was at peace, unknowing of the world around her, till she heard Ocaeril's words, she simply gurgled as her body moved and wobbled in joy, it seemed she quite liked it.

Helsa, for a moment, quieted her sobbing. She looked right at Inqui. And the Slime Goddess saw confusion in her eyes.

"...Why?" She rasped. "You...you know what happened, right? So why?"

The Goddess of Evil sounded so small during that question.

A chuckle escaped the god's lips, as he gently passed a hand through Marah's face, giving her a nod of confirmation. Of course, his aura was the same as always, one of someone who's familiar, who's part of your own family...And perhaps, for a little being this young, it would connect rather strongly. After all, Inqui, her mother, gave her to him as for him to be her 'father', did she not? It was only fair he treated Marah as such.

"Haha..." Ocaeril continued to laugh, gently wobbling her side to side with his arms. "I'm glad you like it, my little bamboo sapling. Certainly, you'll grow strong and mighty."

But...

Looking at the small ball of slime in front of him, Ocaeril thought of the words in Inqui's letter. The purpose of this...Was to, of course, become a hero. The previous one to be her incarnation, while she didn't fail, didn't have the necessary will to become a proper one. Of course, she was a hero to her people, and that was already more than enough in his eyes, but Inqui wanted Marah to be more. To be a hero who protects all, who saves all... Someone who will always have to follow that path.

...Sacrificing oneself to protect others isn't something he can say he disagrees, since...He'd do the same to anyone. But his children...He's rather hypocritical, isn't he?

"Marah," Ocaeril said softly, his hair blowing in the wind, and the bamboos in the forest almost singing a song alongside it...A shining light came from beyond Ocaeril, something that the small baby was unable to see, as he continued. "There will be people in your life that you'll want to save. People who you see as important. One day, you might go down a path where you might stand for everyone, without care for yourself...Or perhaps you'll go the opposite, a path where you think all should stand by you, doing sacrifices and fights that should be your own for you...These are the paths of heroes in this world. One might say the first one is the correct one, but...I cannot afford to see you die- Nor can I afford to see you sacrifice others..."

Putting two fingers where Marah's heart should be, Ocaeril passed the Yin and then the Yang Chakra into her.

8238345a276ff0e01894f6f8968f0949.jpg

"So do not stand One for All, do not stand All for One...Stand...One with All."

And so, Marah Ōtsutsuki would become the first mortal to receive the Yin Yang release.

And so, holding her softly in her arms, Ocaeril would walk where the light once was- Now, with a small, humble home in where the empty space once was...

"Perhaps one day you'll understand my words...Or remember them...For now...It is time for you to sleep."

Looking one last time at Marah, Ocaeril smiled.

"Oh, and you may call me...The Sage of Six Paths. Your father."

And so, Ocaeril would spend his last years in this cycle taking care of a certain 'princess.'

The Patron of Heroes looked at Helsa, before sighing, she took out her helmet to let Helsa see a young woman with long blue hair and golden eyes, her eyes were shone with compassion and mercy.

"Because, because even if what you did wasn't good, it doesn't mean you are barred from mercy, I believe anyone can be better, sometimes they may do something that's truly bad, but if they take time and effort, they can redeem themselves, besides, I can't help myself, whenever I see a crying maiden, I just have to help"

The Patron of Heroes said with a caring smirk, ending with a snark.

The Patron of Heroes said with a caring smirk, ending with a snark.

She...she thinks I can be better? The Goddess of Corruption thought incredulously. I'm...I'm the Corruptor. And she still thinks I can redeem myself? That's....

"That's...you believe a Goddess of Corruption can be redeemed?" Helsa said, not even caring that she was voicing her thoughts aloud. "I...I can't...I don't understand..."

Helsa, for the first time in so very long, couldn't think of anything to say. Standing before her was someone that believed she could be better, despite everything.

"...you truly are something else, Goddess of Heroes." Helsa whispered. There was no bitterness in the tone.
 
Actions 1, 2, & 3.

After a lengthy period of contemplative silence, Rhubarion begins to slowly move around; examining his surroundings and gradually recalling where he was. He pans his view upwards, witnessing the towering bamboo sway.

"Gods almighty, how long has it been since I did something even remotely noteworthy? Kinda feel like a disgrace...oh well! I guess I'll use elongated silence as a means of proving something. Unfortunately, that something I don't know."

Rhuabarion scurries away from the small area of patch grass and trudges his way through the dense bamboo. After roughly several minutes of embarrassingly struggling his way through, he ends up on the other side of the forest. He is greeted by charred wooden structures and heaping mounds of human cadavers. Signs are placed about the remains of the village. Rhubarion moseys over to the sign and reads it out loud to himself in a slow, analytical manner.

Sign.png
"Permanently Forclosed by Ocaeril Officials"

"Huh, that's kinda weird. I don't recall anything even happening here."

Rhubarion stands in utter ignorance. Remaining wide-eyed and moronic.

"Ooohhh yeaaahh, that's right! I remember being deployed here and unleashing an eerie woft of conspiracy, causing a couple of residents of this here village to be "awoken." I guess that entailed the destruction of sanity here, and big brother Ocearil thought it wise to eradicate the place. Meh, had it coming. Say, where is everyone else? I kinda liked em' and wanted to know em' a bit more. Guess I'll find my way through this here land and eventually discover my fellow deities."

"Wait, where's my goddamn
beacon ."

Dawn of the New Year: 1150



The ship rocked with the crashing waves, sending a spray of seafoam onto the deck and splashing into the sailors, save for one, a corpulent old man who shirked his duties in favor of his flagon of rum as he sat atop a barrel, earning scowls from the other sailors who hardly appreciated his laziness.

"Hey! Get down here and do your job!"

"Now lishten here shonney! I don't Gotta do nothin'! It's mah brake!"

"Well can you at least do something, you'll get us all flogged if ya' puke on the deck, again."

"Fine, fine, Oh I nose, howsabout a story?"

"Sure old man, 'rather have your gums flapping than sucking down all our rum."

"Hah! Well then, letsh see, hm... Oh I gotsh one, 'while back when the 'ole empire had pissed off some demon or another, thems got their king cursed, couldn't eat nothin' but fish 'n berries they found, all the rest got all rotted 'n stuff, same fate hit the man's kids too, and a buncha' nobles got taken too. Sent off to some other plane by that demon, n' it takes others with'em too, folks go missin' some come back, tellin' of an evil castle where them imperials hunt'em like animals. Hardly a place I'd wanna be, but anyway, all that cursin' ain't done much 'bout that empire, still takin' colonies n' such, 'least it gave us work, fishin' off the coast'a these ole' islands where scant'ly clad fishy-folk be."

"We already know that one! We ain't been livin' under rocks!"

"Right, right, oh what'bout this one? See, some years back that big'ole tree in the west got all rotten and dead, n' the nine last'a its fruits got made into some magic dogs, gone off n' actin' as some kinda protectors'a nature, but the elves what had been carin' for that tree for so long got'emselves visited by the spirit'a Ocaeril, gave'em a choice'a one'a dem doggies as their personal protector. They picked tha' tiny one, like'a magic puppy with no real power to itself'but they wouldn't have that. See by then, the elves had lost mucha' their old ways thanks to their flesh-magic, plenty'a them acted a good bit like demons in those days, warpin' their flesh in the name'a pleasure'n not much else. I'll tell ya', once met one at port, looked'a good bit like'ma momma and with a schlong that'd give'a dragon some'kinda inferiority complex! Them do nothin' these days but nut but I'm gettin' onna tangent, see they warped'n twisted this 'lil pup into some giant beast, gave it dragon wings 'n merged it with one'a those doppelgangers 'ya hear of sometimes. Did all sorts'a nasty things to'it 'till it was stronger than'all those other beasts together, but it ain't like it used to, them elves changed its mind too, made it as decadent as their lot'n eager to ditch it's 'custodian of nature" deal just'ta go on doin' the dirty with those elves, sure'ta make the world-spirit angry with'all their twistin' n' corruptin', but'ta be fair, all them elves what took care'a his big'ole tree are long gone, exiled off into the wilds for not embracin' the ways of the elves cult'a pleasure, though I wouldn't call it that, all them things the elves do with black leather seem far from fun if 'ya know what I mean! Didn't go as bad for the other pups though, or good depedin' on ya' view, heh, one got 'emself in some kingdom, guardin' some old vampire or somesort, others just been roamin' the world doin' good'r bad, 'haven't really kept track."

Elves are disgusting cenobite corruption of champions slaaneshi hedonists, and Fou has been subjected to bestiality. The other beasts are fine though, one has gone to guard camelot but the sailor isn't sure where the others are.

The sailor briefly turned his head away from the deck, seeing that the old man was about to have another go at the rum. "Another one, please?"

"Aw sure then, what next, hmmm, well some tellin' of'a dragon that pissed off some god'n got turned into a deer, or that big'ole golden drake that went on'a rampage back when I was a lad, 'course them Helsa cults been up'ta their old gig, kidnappin' mages this time, some folks in the east 'been huntin' those 'yokee things 'ya hear 'bout 'n the numbers'r fallin, first time in ages 'parrently, then some king who banned iron for whatever reason got himself goin' nuts, ran naked into another kingdom and turned to ash when'he tried his hand at sword swallowing. Had a kid though, nasty imp-thing, but a kid still! Then there's those foglands off in the west, started brimmin' with lightnin' and been doin' that since some forty-somthin' years past, but nothin' interestin' bout all that, 'cept for maybe that nekkid guy! You shoulda' seen it! Hah! Oh and ya' heard? Some new game got invented what by some guy who said he saw gods what told'im to make it. Great time killer but men have killed over Uno, nothin' to joke 'bout. Lost mah eye to a man what lost everything else'ta me in'a good 'ole game'a Uno! Fair'nuff though, must'a seen that draw four what I had in mah sock. Oh here's one! Back some years past there was some kid on an island, island'a cat-girls was it! Girl had'a vision'a some sort, saw god, learned to kill stuff, 'course it was'er parents what found her out when that lassie had gone brewin' poison in their kitchen, sent'er off to some school'er doe-joe'ta train'er up to be some kinda fancy warrior, instead she ended up trainin' them! Knew all they could teach'n more, started some guild'a superpowered assassins, weildin' that chi-stuff 'ya hear 'bout in the east. I met one'a them cat-assassins at sea once, learn'd bit too late that them girls'a bunch'a clam-divers, and I ain't talkin' bout oysters! Ohoho! Took a throwin' knife in'the knee! Hadn't been for mah magic powahs I'da been a goner!"

The helsa cultists have kidnapped a bunch of mages, Divisi rode around a water dragon, demon hunters have been hunting down the yokai, and the changeling king, thanks to Yimor, ran naked into a kingdom that uses iron and killed himself in a fit of maddness. Foglands are in the midst of a perpetual storm, and a cat-girl ninja guild was started. The sailor tried to hook up with one, found out that they are all lesbians, and got stabbed in the knee when he wouldn't let up.

"Jon, please, you don't have magic powers. Besides, don't you have to be intelligent in order to learn magic?"

"Ohoho! 'sure bet! 'course there's ways 'round that! Learn it when'ya smart, take a good few blows to tha' head but it'll stay with ya' forever! Now, hoho, what next, well some bugs'a been doin' some conquerin' deep down rumor has, but nothin' muchta' say 'bout that, Oh! OH! I gotta good one for ya'! I ever tell'ya the tale'a when I saved'ma home from the great, big, orange kittykat!?"

"Yes, you have told that story on every voyage since you joined this cre-"

"Well there I was as a young lad, on'ma way home with'a fresh lasagna backin' mah wretched ole' hometown what I had to up'n leave when all them bugs came tearin' through 'couple years back. Birds'a singin, flowa's bloomin, 'n imperial guards gettin' mauled by some 'ole beast they call the gorefield. Rushed me with no warnin' and I had'ta fight ti off maself! Punched that ugly 'ole centipede in'tha nose'a few times, 'n magic'd his face onto'is ass, 'course'he just grew another and went in for a taste'a me flesh. Woulda' died then'n there had it not been for mah quick wits, 'cause then I-"

"Hold on, last time you said you curled up under the stairs and cried like a baby, what's this about magic'ing his face onto his ass?"

"W-Well, you see, I-"

"And while you soiled your tunic under that staircase, the beast ate your lasagna and slunk back into the woods. I remember that part clear as day, you told me that on shore leave, remember? When you had the bright idea to try Sake on our voyage to nekomatus?"

"W-Well I don't remember it that way anyhow! L-Let's change'da subject, ya'know that emperor out east? Well, word's spread the man's become some kinda' immortal, wouldn't surprise me what with all the power those royals seem to have out there, not just him though, they've been buildin' up their army ever since that kitty-cat-queen croaked'n threw up that spell that covers that island now, trained up a bunch of war-cows and somesuch, and I've heard'a some kinda trees they keep under lock'n key in that "forbidden city"'a theirs. Got some kinda magic to it that'd make a real boon to some thief what wanna go'n steal some treasure like that, 'n speakin'a magic! I've hearda' mages from'tha east'n tha' west combinin' their arts, chi'n magework mixed into some kinda thing they call "chakra." Let's'em cast fightin' illusions and all kinda 'lil magic balls'n stuff. For whatever reason the empire done adopted that kinda work, sayin' it's holy unlike all them other arts, just what everyone needed amirite? The Empire with an even stronger army. Sure to make that Devil what seems so damn bent on ravagin' that kingdom even angrier than usual. Though prob not quite as angry as them 'Ocaeril Officials', some kinda environmentalist culties 'been settin' fire to towns 'n all, Jade Empire's had to beef up security so 'nother village don't get 'forclosed'. Folks ain't quite sure where them lot came from, but they ain't friendly's all I can say, part'a some new world order I've heard."

Chakra was invented, the neko inqui died, Chakra exists now and the empire uses it, the jade empire has hidden their chi trees in the forbidden city, and trained a bunch of war oxen. An environmentalist cult has also been setting towns on fire.

"This is all very, very interesting, please, regail us with more of your stories..."

And keep your hands off of my rum...

"Well, if'ya insist! Oh! Y'all were at sea when'it happened, you never saw, you never celebrated that first spanksgivin'!"

"What?"

"Ohoho! Well, one fateful day, every wretch and impoverished fool in the capitals of the empires done went crazy, throwin' torches and burnin stuff, shit was bad but only a few got hurt. Why? Ohoho! Well some spirit of the world woke up'n started throwin' water around, those dog-things showed up too, but that wasn't the half of it! That devil Helsa 'erself s'posedly started it all, mages saw her'n the spirit'a Ocaeril fightin' on some island, throwin' round lightnin' 'n magic'n stuff, 'course the best part was when the spirit pinned that devil down, and he spanked'er ass! Spanked'er like a daddy, 'course she liked that, ohoho! Now we celebrate spanksgivin' back home, commemorate that day'in all, 'course, lotsa folk saw the show, 'n most'll say that the spirit just spanked'er, 'course, I 'member it a bit differently, so do some other folks too, that 'ole Mandaelan effect y'all hear'in 'bout these days, in some other timeline that devil got'er ass beat by our guardian, 'course it was in a whole 'nother sense! Ohoho!"

Spanksgiving happened, but the sailor remembers it as Ocaeril spanking helsa in the ass, rather than on.

"Thank you for the, uh... mental image, but do please continue."

"Oh but of course! Here's one, some time ago there was these cute 'lil plant-things, built 'emselves a tiny kingdom on some island'n grew this nice 'lil leafy stuff ya' can smoke. Got 'emselves colonized for it though! Ohoho! Now all that good stuff's gettin' outsourced to the west'n sold to the east, Empire's doin' mostly. 'course I still prefer me some good 'ole fashioned, imported, jade imperial opium! Ohoho!"

Weed exists now, and colonialism has led to it being distributed everywhere.

The old man takes a hit from an opium pipe.

"Now, speakin'a them, hear those folks be in some kinda war right now, magic guards'n chi-warriors fightin' some monster, bigger than'a dragon and with lotsa' ribbony-willies. Been goin' at it for years now, some kinda stalemate I'd reckon, whole thing started s'posedly 'causa them catgirls, sent that monster and it's army a gribblies after the jade, worked out well for 'em too, jade empire's been too busy dealin' with this "Zerool" bastard to go'in take care'a those kitties. Now, last thing'I gotta do, we pray to Divisi, navigator and god'a sailors'n trav'ler's OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

After Inqui kicked Zeruel off of nekomatus, she invaded the Jade Empire and has been wrecking shit since then. The war is currently at a stalemate between the chi warriors and zeruel.

The old man's deranged humming was disregarded by the rest of the crew as they went on to continue swabbing the deck, and thanks to the efforts of one brave young sailor, the rum had gone unwasted.




Meanwhile...



The gods appeared once again in their great hall, sitting on their now less than impressive thrones and once again met with the bland feast prepared for them by some unseen metaphysical chef. This would be mundane, were it not for the flailing mass of tentacles and bodies now sitting upon the Sorcerer's throne, and the Void Lord, who was screaming at it.

The Void Ever Watching The Void Ever Watching

"I MUST HAVE LEFT YOU IN MY POCKET! SORRY 'BOUT THAT! NOW, YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO, SO GET ON THAT STAGE AND SHAKE WHAT I GAVE YOU OR I WILL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WEREN'T JUST COHERENT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING, BITCH!"

The Void Lord drops his pants and relieves himself on the Writhing Cosmos Master before vanishing, leaving the gods to convene once more.​

Ickol Conversational

The antlered goddess again stacked her plate full of food as per tradition, and yawned. As it so happened this yawn was a masked teleportation spell, which activated and dropped a pre-prepared ten pounds of flowers on top of Helsa.

So. What...you...all...been...up...to?

She looked at the other gods as she idly whittled what was obviously a Spanksgiving decoration.
 
Yimor'droth Action 1
______________________


The fragment of Yimor'droth was discovered by the Exarchs, and studied deeply. Eventually, they learned how to use it as a power source for the creation of unnatural things [ooc, SCPs like 682].

An indestructible lizard.

A statue that broke necks.

An army of living suits of armor.

There were no limitations on what they could build, save the power inherent to the Shard.

[Not every SCP has been made, but several have]
 
Kurantse Conversational
After raising an eyebrow at the Void Lord's antics, Kurantse turns to his fellow deity.
So. What...you...all...been...up...to?
"Not much, unfortunately. I seem to have... overslept, for the last fifty years," he says. "What about you, Ickol? Done anything of particular note we should know about?"

As he speaks, he stands and squints at the facsimile of the planet, considering his options. He'd better make some notable moves the cycle, to make up for lost time...
 
As Ocaeril appeared on the Hall of the Gods, the first thing many would notice was the simple fact that...He looked rather different. No- In fact, he looked very different then what he did before. While still shirtless, he now wore traditional white and blue robes that covered his entire lower body, and his tattoos seemingly changed, now, despite still looking like crosses, strange symbols of what appeared to be Yin and Yang orbs were around his neck, almost like a collar of sorts...His skin was now white as snow, and his iris now...Were present! They were still rather transparent, being a light blue, nearly cloaking themselves in the rest of his eyes, with seemingly no pupils whatsoever.

There was also the fact he now...Possessed horns. They were small and short but were still present. Alongside the 9 orbs that floated behind him, he looked rather different then what he did a few cycles before.

So. What...you...all...been...up...to?


...As Ickol asked that question, he finally seemed to notice the decorations in the Hall, letting out a soft sigh, before shaking his head.

"Eh, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, you probably all seen it. I've been up to quite a bit." Ocaeril said, one of the orbs floating to his hand, and seemingly changing shapes, becoming a long staff, which he used to pull a cup of wine closer. "I am quite miffed, though. I think I'll have a little word with the mainstream elves this time around."

As he speaks, he stands and squints at the facsimile of the planet, considering his options. He'd better make some notable moves the cycle, to make up for lost time...

Ocaeril then coughed to the god of economy.

"Aye, Kurantse- Good to see you. Do you mind doing that favor you said you owe me? You see, I developed a new type of magic called Chakra. Pretty amazing stuff, if you ask me. A little mutation between my life energy and magic- Caused me to stay like this. If you could, do you think you could invest in creating schools for it, and waving the word of it around?"

"Eh, sure thing. So, you're going for private colleges, yeah? You understand that I'm not gonna be of much help if profits aren't involved."

He taps his chin. Yes, this could certainly be exploited. High tuition, predatory loans, skimming off the top of donations - truly a dream!

Ocaeril let out a soft hum, taking a sip of his wine. "...Perhaps you can make both private and public colleges, depending on how much they'll learn from it. For example- A public one might teach simple tricks to help the day to day be easier, such as running faster, controlling your flow, creating illusions, and so on, so forth. Passive stuff, you see? While private ones will teach more advanced techniques. Think of it as a beginner's course, then having the option of going to a higher level- Though, do make the price accessible, will you? I created Chakra with the intent to help people. Certain colleges can be more expensive, but don't make all of them the thing, since after all...Chakra was only created a few decades ago. Not many people are masters in it."

After that, Ocaeril passed a cup of wine to Kurantse as well.

"
If you could, however, do some investments on Camelot, it was one of the first places to receive Chakra. Do not do it for the Elves, though. I plan on having a long talk with them this evening."

Well...now. I...know...dear...Helsa...isn’t...the...most...shapely...of...us, but...I’d...still...call...her...more...than...‘quite...a...bit’. I...also...see...you’ve...cramped...my...style...with...those...protrusions...there.

She huffed in his general direction and tossed a flower.
 
Helsa Conversational

The antlered goddess again stacked her plate full of food as per tradition, and yawned. As it so happened this yawn was a masked teleportation spell, which activated and dropped a pre-prepared ten pounds of flowers on top of Helsa.

So. What...you...all...been...up...to?

She looked at the other gods as she idly whittled what was obviously a Spanksgiving decoration.

The Goddess of Corruption was oddly silent. Typically she would start talking about her superiority the moment she arrived. And then Ickol dropped the ten pounds of flowers on her.

Everyone could see the twitch in Helsa's eyes as her tendrils banished the flowers to somewhere.

"Not much." Helsa said, eye slowly ceasing it's twitch. "After...the incident...," Helsa momentarily stared at Ocaeril, an odd expression on her face, one that seemed to contain a hint of...fear? "I've been spending most of my time on my island."

She huffed in his general direction and tossed a flower.

"Well, I believe quite a bit for a god can mean a lot for a mortal. I mostly said that because...I'm miffed, really." Ocaeril would say to Ickol, taking a moment to look at her while talking to Kurantse. He also took a look at Helsa as she spoke, a small frown appearing on his face. He seemed to want to say something to her but didn't find the words.

"...Ah, as I said, it's really just a mutation-"

Before Ocaeril could reply, however, a flower was tossed to his general direction by Ickol. Blinking, he quickly grabbed hold of it, taking a look at the flower, before a small smile appeared on his lips, giving the Destructor a smile. "...This is...Nice. Thank you for this." Despite the fact that Ickol probably did this in an annoyed fashion and not to be polite, it seemed to have flown over Ocaeril's head. On another hand, Ocaeril summoned a bouquet of flowers in a fashion Ickol would probably enjoy, those being slightly messy and demonic, and it gently floated it her way. "Ahem- Happy...Whatever this is." He knew what it was, he just didn't want to say it.

"Not much." Helsa said, eye slowly ceasing it's twitch. "After...the incident...," Helsa momentarily stared at Ocaeril, an odd expression on her face, one that seemed to contain a hint of...fear? "I've been spending most of my time on my island."

On Helsa's hand, a small, yellow flower would appear, not disappearing due to her corruption, surprisingly enough, with a small note on it.

'If you wish to talk, you know where to find me. It's probably not wise to let this grow.'

Helsa looked at the flower, reading the note with a slowly shocked expression on her face. She looked at the Incarnation of the World, before quietly crushing the flower.

Maybe...Maybe....if I must do so.... She thought to herself.

Ickol Conversational

The goddess’ smile twitched
Oh, you...know...exactly...what...this...is. Today’s... Spanksgiving, you...know, the...day...in...honor...of...your...complete...face-plant...that..I...will...make...sure...haunts...you...for...the...rest...of...your...hopefully...short...waste...of...a...life, you...empty-headed...piss-ant...shit.


[SEVER]

The goddess chuckled. “Oh...you. We...really...should...make...a...name...for...these...meetings. It’s...improper...to...not...celebrate...them...fully! Oh, but...look...at...the...time. I...really...must...be...going...and...making...friendships...or...whatever...it...is...I...do, tee-hee!

The goddess skipped and twirled into the globe, smelling the flowers enthusiastically.
 
Farmer Joe: Conversational

Joe was puffing up his pipe and smoke just filled the room. “Ahhhhh this is nice.”

Scenes of war and famine emanated from the smoke and little people stabbed each other. “Heh.” Coughing fit ensues.
 
Giving Farmer Joe a mean look from his own place of the table, Ocaeril mentally reminded himself to put a stop to all this fighting he's caused. What even is his reason? The petty lack of worship? A low sigh escaped his lips, he supposes gods can be...Petty, sometimes. Helsa was just like that last cycle, after all. But still, give famine and locust swarms just because of something like that is simply silly.

But, oh well, he'll deal with this when his last amount of godly powers are used. Giving Ickol a little wave as she left, Ocaeril got up from his seat, his staff becoming an orb that floated behind him once more. "I'll be going as well, I have some things to take care of before I advance civilization into a new era. I have to take care of a little big danger in the West. Kurantse, do consider my words, will you? Chakra will be a rather useful thing in the days to come..." He'd say with a nod, before looking at the Sorcerer, the new godly arrival, and nodding at him. "And, it is good to have you back with us, brother. If you need anything, do always tell me." He almost forgot to greet him, how silly.

And then, he gave Helsa one last look, before passing next to her, and muttering something nearly inaudible.

"...o...y..."

Now, his attention turned to Inqui, the Goddess of Heroes, and waving at her. "Greetings once more, Poh!" ...Was that...? "...Ahem, apologies for the nickname, but calling you by your title is a bit too long- Perhaps you can tell me your true name one of these days."

Shaking his head, Ocaeril coughed into his hand. "But, this is not why I came here. You see...I came here because I wished to ask you some help to create a seal- Tell me, have you heard of the Kitsune, the time and space demon from the Jade Empire?"

Yimor'droth Action 2
Enslavement of the Chi Warriors
______________________


Zeruel vaporized another Chi Warrior, and began to chant.

YIMOR'DROTH, FATHER OF HORRORS AND LORD OF LIGHT, HEED YOUR DAUGHTERS PRAYER. LAY THE FAITHLESS LOW AS WORMS, MAKE THEM CONSUME DUST AND ASHES. MAKE THEM REALIZE YOUR DIVINE GLORY, MAKE THEM REPENT.

In a flash, every Chi Warrior beheld the Five-Eyed Face of the Dragon.

The strongest were merely rendered slaves of Zeruel, the weakest slain. All were driven mad by that beautiful, burning, glowing face.

NOW, LET ME TAKE MY THRONE.

Joe blew smoke rings into Ocaeril’s face.
 
Ocaeril let out a soft hum, taking a sip of his wine. "...Perhaps you can make both private and public colleges, depending on how much they'll learn from it.

After that, Ocaeril passed a cup of wine to Kurantse as well.
He accepts the glass, swirling it around. "I suppose that sort of business model would be acceptable enough."
"If you could, however, do some investments on Camelot, it was one of the first places to receive Chakra. Do not do it for the Elves, though. I plan on having a long talk with them this evening."
"Sure thing," he says, before taking a sip of the wine. "I can't promise it'll be a resounding success, though. Mortals can be... unpredictable. Don't worry though! I'm pretty good at this."

With that, he flips a coin into the Globe, disappearing from sight to descend to the planet's surface, presumably to set himself to his task.
