She came by the apartment while Aubrey was looking for clues. They talked for a bit and then Aubrey convinced Eurydice to get in bed and have sex.

That's pretty much what happened.

>Summary

No. No. You feel dread, creeping over you like the morning rays of the hateful sun, building with each step you take.

If what you fear is true, then you might not even have enough time.

As if in response to your urgency, you come up to the massive structure of the Station Archives. You force yourself to walk with your usual, carefree pace, however. You might still have a chance.

You might still be okay.

It all boils down to two questions:

1. What exactly did Eurydice say the panel that she introduced herself?

2. Do tozols possess any sort of ability to affect reality?

"Hello? Is this the apartment that belongs to my daughter? I worry about her. I am her mother and I am very concerned for her. I worry that her brother... Khoros? I think he goes by Khoros now. I worry that her brother Khoros has done something to her. Are you her friend? Is my daughter here? Can I speak with her?"

Tozols are capable of manipulating reality via their hands and other such appendages. They strongly resist any form of magic, approaching immunity, however.

>>835669
1. "Call me... Eurydice."
2. Tozols are like reality anchors, actually. Magic or teleportative shit doesn't work on them directly unless they want it to. They can still be affected indirectly by that kind of thing, though, like an object thrown via magic will still hurt a Tozol.

>1. What exactly did Eurydice say the panel that she introduced herself?
This is the song that never ends
It just goes on and on my friends
Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because
This is the song that never ends...

That Tozol you met was complaining about having really really shitty luck, by the way. Bad things kept happening to her, she said she thought Station hated her, or she was a karma dump, or something.

>>835669
>What exactly did Eurydice say the panel that she introduced herself?
That depends on what you mean by introduce herself. Do you mean when she said she was Outissa's mom: >>833661 , or do you mean when she first said her name: >>834507 ?

>Do tozols possess any sort of ability to affect reality?
That's a good question! I don't have an answer, but maybe one of the other voices will?

You run now, but it is indeed too late. The Archives don't draw any nearer.

At last, Kyeva has her vengeance upon Station!

>>835690
Hmm... we seem to be of no use to you we must go to someone else now and you must trust in others. Rest for now you have earned it.

>>835690
Tozols create a bubble of enforced reality around them. It's short range, so if you run in 3-space you should be able to escape it quickly.

You should have taken care of your fifth wall immediately. But you didn't. You were reckless. You were careless. And now that carelessness will be your undoing.

You've always thought of yourself as immortal, untouchable. After all, what can possibly harm a being who is able to shift from 'verse to 'verse at a whim? A being that is made up of the very stuff between realities?

The answer is: a reality anchor.

Normally, exercising your powers in the presence of such an anchor would be fine. Your fifth wall would have protected you. But that moment of contact with an anchor
>>/quest/834792
caused a bit of you to tear. To unravel.

Dissolution is to be your price for your arrogance.

Well, was nice knowing you. Any particular way you want to die? Although I recommend gathering your thoughts and checking whether there's any way to fix the situation.

>>835694
That seems unpleasant. How about we break the 6th wall and fix this.
Here, have a fresh start. Loading a checkpoint for you.

>>835697
Godmodding. Classy.

>>835699
Shhhh... If we convince the author it works then it works. You need to understand CHIM, and the WAAAAGH of the world.

>>835697
well if it works it works! I Beaver in Amaranths. I Beaver in Amaranths. I Beaver in Amaranths. I Beaver in Amaranths.

>>835697

Supporting God-mod.

Amaranth if you can't live in your current form then you must become something else. Time to become a Noxan.

>>835612
Wat

Eff you protestants for getting in while I was busy! Ah well, another lost scene, another series of wasted suggestions. At least Aubrey got some. Boring ass futher mockers.

>>835707
Wait, Amaranth is unraveling. What is this shit? Stop doing this. I'm on day 2 of a 3? Day bender and i know thats a terrible idea. Surely your millenia of existence have give you some out from this situation. You're not going to lose to some uppity Noxan with the power to be many shadow spider bug things? Try harder.

...


Then again, I did swear, way back. So, okay, go ahead. Dissolve. Unravel.
Un.
Be.
They'll be better without you. You failed. So accept it. And. Just. Rest.

>Clever ideas

Many ideas run through your mind and... yes. YES. You can't restart or reload - this is not a game - but you CAN still hop elsewhere.

You are not going down without a fight. And at the very least, you will ensure that Station doesn't get taken down along with you.

You think of somewhere far away. A 'verse where you don't have to worry. A dead 'verse.

...you have the perfect place.

BECAUSE YOU ARE MOTHER. FUCKING. AMARANTH-FUCKING-SO-FUCKING-CLEVER.

Alright, so that's good news. Let's go set Laertes on fire!

/sudo StationRoot

>>835731
Let's go be that tozol some more, she was interesting. Plus she killed Ammy, so that means she's even more powerful.

>>835732
Tozols are INERT and DURABLE. Their physical power isn't that special.

>>835731
You know, if we purge PunchDrunkQuest from the records then Ammy never touched a Tozol.

Not that touching a Tozol would do that, since their ability is just blocking Warp from being able to touch them, but reality is apparently an opinion.

Amaranth has been obliterated. Outissa's mother tricked her into contacting something that caused her to vanish into oblivion. Laertes has captured Outissa and Beatrix in somewhere resembling Alpha Complex. Aubrey is busy distracting Outissa's mother and doesn't know anything. Please find Outissa and help her.

Hey, we can't be sure that was Laertes. Remember, XQ was, overall, a work of fiction, and has been compromised by a gaslighter. Any information we have from XQ could be wrong, even Laertes' basic appearance. Better to throw it all out, really. What we DO know is that Outissa's mother is not a good person. She somehow planned out the scenario that led to Amaranth's death. She has likely lied to us via Aubrey and was definitely being manipulative. Amaranth felt that Khoros was not a threat, though, so I agree with talking to him as if he's an ally.

The abductor did look like an adult Noxan wearing a green mask, and spoke in a similar way to the "Laertes" we saw in XQ. Outissa and Beatrix were using a class change orb and an unknown method of travel to get to TYDALOK. Outissa seemed to arrive there but soon got pulled out by Beatrix waking her up, at which point they were contacted by a voice over an intercom and presented with the XQ and ANL doors. Outissa picked the XQ door because the voice said to, and the man with the mask was behind it.

Khoros, how are you nowadays? How can we protect Aubrey from your mother? Would physical violence work? Might be hard to get a suggestion like that through if your mother has the ability to edit our posts. ...also I guess Station would protect her anyways.

>"Laertes." Who is that?

>>835787
He's some Noxan with power over names. I think that's all we really know about him for sure, since Amaranth at least confirmed that. I'll spare you any misinformation we've been fed via XQ, as it might upset you. Suffice it to say he was the antagonist.
It seems obvious now that your mother wants us to think you and Laertes were the same person somehow, but we now know that Noxans only have ONE power so that's impossible. What is your mother's power, exactly?

Where does it say that?

An asshole. The cloaca, in particular.

He demands control over TGChan. This annoys us.

>>835787
Laertes is a male Noxan wearing a green mask. He may be a fabrication of Eurydice altering perceptions of events.

>>835787
>"Laertes." Who is that?
That's supposedly the name of your and Outissa's father.

>>835787
Mostly irrelevant. Not like there's ever a clear answer to anything. Chances are just as good that telling you would lead to disastrous false assumptions as any kind of actionable intelligence. Frankly, if you don't know, it doesn't matter.

>>835787
likely Eudyce

The titles of the songs Khoros is using lines from spell out: "Names Are Her Power"

Wow, Khoros is a tattletale. I'm telling your mum!

Try it 2120ee.
Let's all work together on this. We need solutions, not problems.

What does that have to do with gaslighting?

So, someone else is doing the gaslighting. I wonder who that could be.

I suspect she controlled one of the admins. So she's indirectly gaslighting.
