The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[Sir Sivelos]

Clever! *ECRIVAIN earns 10,000 SPECTRAL GOLD, courtesy of SIVELOS. The SPECTRAL GOLD glows faintly.*

[Ganyu]

Lovely. *watches as Scyez falls through the cloud of mist and shadow*

Permission to annihilate?

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

//runs back in the room

I DID THE MAGICS AND NOW THEY WORK AHAHAHAHA--

//accidentally rings the smallest bell

oh its just ranna okay this shouldnt--

*WANDER is cut off as they suddenly freeze up. As in, they're covered in little icicles. Don't worry, they'll be back soon. Their spirit has only been sent into the Second Precinct of Death, it's fine.*

*Robots of a sufficiently strong ego get souls. There is no fridge logic here. Move along.*

*FORGE shrugs.*

Forge: Saving existence is a cost in and of itself. Come back after you're done with that, if you want. But until then, no, my services won't be available. I want to keep out of the whole 'giant lunatic war' business you have going. My apprentices haven't done anything to deserve that.

Forge: And Image… He's responsible for the Dark Aura, a substance that can clone anything. I am responsible for the Ultimate Catalysts, that can bring out the potential of anything. Vaxus, however… I've been hearing bad rumors that he's been experimenting with something… big. Keep on your toes, AntIvOId.

*With that, you are escorted out of FORGE'S WORKSHOP. Back on the ship, SIVELOS gasps at SCYEZ JUNIOR.*

YOU'RE SO CUUUUUTE--

Light Chaos: Tazz is turning blue...

Oh yeah...

*SCYEZ JUNIOR looks at you and releases TAZZ*

Scyez Junior: Oh my Garshness, Mister, you are, uh, uhh...Uhh...A cute-ness. You are a cute! *SIVELOS proceeds to get glomped, then slammed with the mother of all bear hugs.*

Bahamut: The younger Scyez here knows Avalon's-

Scyez Junior: Oh oh oh oh! Mister, mister, mister, mister! Why do you look, like my happy? *Scyez Junior points at Bahamut, standing on her toes and wagging her tail.*

Bahamut:...Uh, we're related. We need help, uh...Finding Avalon. Yes. We REALLY need to find him. It's...It means a lot. We promise we won't hurt Avalon.

*BAHAMUT seems to be dodging the fact that AVALON has been slain...*

Scyez Junior: You want to find...My happy? My happy, my happy is missing? Mister, why, is, uh, why is my happy...Missing?

Bahamut:...Mean people made him run away. He didn't say where he was going.

Scyez Junior: Oh! Oh oh oh oh! I can help, mister! I can help! I want, to find my happy. I want to, find my happy. I want to come with you, mister! Wait, is that a thingy card? *She's pointing at the Persona Card BAHAMUT is holding. It's changed to an image of him since you last got a look at it.* I, I have a card too! But, I can't use it, my head is funny and it doesn't get my head. Master Avvie, my happy, he said the card, was stupid. But I think, the card is just silly.

*You have obtained a card with Scyez's image on it, similar to the cards of NIDHOGG and AVALON before it, marked 19. You have obtained the DARK SUN CARD.*

*WANDER suddenly shivers, signaling that they're back.*

gaaaahhhh i hate these stupid dumb icicles //shakes them off

so uh being in death

that was pretty fun

except not really because i slipped into those stupid sinkholes of the second precinct and almost rode the river all the way to the ninth gate

ANYWAY THAT WAS CLOSE BUT IM BACK AND NOT DEAD YAY

*WANDER carefully places the bells inside a bandolier, adjusting them so they won't accidentally ring.*

i feel like a true abhorsen

even though im not

//whispers i can dream okay

So basically, those bells cause you to waste respawns? Nice. [/SARCASM]

*You don't go to the afterlife if you can respawn. On that note, the bells will not trigger respawns unless your soul/body takes lethal damage, in which case the process will be forcibly reversed upon respawn.*

nonono

if you go beyond the ninth gate

youre never ever ever comin back

doesnt matter if you can respawn or not

your spirit is gone

you cant go back to your body in life

bECAUSE YOURE GONE

I KNOW IVE STRESSED THE "YOURE GONE" PART BUT THATS JUST HOW IT IS

YOU ARE GONE

*You do not need a soul to remain conscious-if it is totally destroyed you can still think afterwards. However, they are vitally important to respawns, so you'd better be careful.*

What about me?

youre a phantom thing, right??

i dont believe they exist in death

*Let's go with that.*

So it's like the Nameless Substance…? I'd get rid of this quickly. Some people would kill for power like that.

*The NAMELESS SUBSTANCE is much, much easier to use than this, but it seems the effects are similar...*

oh please, i know tons of necromancers with even greater power in addition to already having these bells

mostly because they've basically become Free Magic beings or Greater Dead things themselves

but anyway its pretty hard to use these bells, especially since some of them like to sound of their own accord

LOOKIN AT YOU THREE //points to the three bells in the middle of the bandolier

and it takes like years to learn how to use them properly

which ive already spent readin a certain book and practicing and such

dont ask how a transformer got their servos on necromancer bells

its such a long story like i cant even

*Duly noted. Just be wary, other necros of a similar type (or even the dreaded NECRODANCER) might want those bells. Badly.*

Seven bells ringing, seven bells of thunder.
Hell's fyre and burning, heaven's torn asunder.

Icy, anything that is enough to fully kill is useful… But dangerous. Keep them in storage.

but

theyre so fun to use

D:

If they can annihilate people, I'm not taking any chances. *takes the box, and seals it in BEDROCK.*

*You can't interact with other people's L00T! It is bound to WANDER!*

*The BELL BANDOLIER reappears on WANDER's chest.*

oh right

idk how it works but

once the bells have an owner

they cant be separated from them

idk necromancer bells are weird

*Proof that you can't really screw with that.*

GRUMBLE GRUMBLE

Tazz, what do you think? I mean, when you aren't being suffocated. *Attempts to pry SCYEZ JR. off of Tazz*

*SCYEZ JUNIOR's grip is STEEL! You fail miserably in separating herself from TAZZ-or actually yourself in this case.*

*switches position via teleportation with Tazz*

*This accomplishes nothing since SIVELOS is the one being crushed by SCYEZ JUNIOR currently.*

Clever! *ECRIVAIN earns 10,000 SPECTRAL GOLD, courtesy of SIVELOS. The SPECTRAL GOLD glows faintly.*

Lovely. *watches as Scyez falls through the cloud of mist and shadow*

Permission to annihilate?

Scyez Senior: Nuuuuuuu! No! No! Bad!

*She proceeds to slap you silly despite you being intangible.*

Scyez Senior: Nobody hurts my adoracuteness, OK? OK? OK.

*You have a bad feeling she is holding back a lot on you.*

[Sir Sivelos]

I don't mind. This little thing is too cute. *telekinetically pats SCYEZ JR.'s head*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

I don't mind. This little thing is too cute. *telekinetically pats SCYEZ JR.'s head*

*You're suffocating. She is literally killing you totally unaware of it. And she just. Keeps. Squeezing.*

[Sir Sivelos]

<TAZZ CAN YOU HELP THIS IS STARTING TO HURT>

Apoph: I would do something, but... Just not feeling it.

[Wander]

DONT WORRY I GOT THIS

*WANDER pulls out the second to last bell, Saraneth the Binder. They throw it in the air, ringing it as it flipped once and landed back into their hands. A sharp, low ringing sound is heard throughout the room. It echoes, and even if everyone can hear it, its only affecting the SCYEZ squeezing SIVELOS. WANDER exerts all of their will towards SCYEZ, making her slowly let go of SIVELOS.*

[Sir Sivelos]

*If it works, SIVELOS stumbles away.*

[Ganyu]

*uses Blood Transfusion to heal Sivelos; if he's damaged in any way*

[Sir Sivelos]

Oh, thank you friends...
