CYOA MLP: Forevermore Inverse Morning #10 D23 Announcement Edition

“Okay guys this is the home stretch. Buzz, I’d like you to help spike and I to try and figure out a way to extract these things safely.”
>The space ranger nods as you turn your attention to the head nurse.
“Mina, I think you ought to help Dan and Ulysses scan for more active samples. You’re much more likely to catch anything they might miss.”
>Mina’s whole body bounces with the force of her determined nod before she wheels around and ushers the two would be technicians back to the microscope.
>As the three of them crowd around the microscope’s flickering display you start rummaging through the nearby cabinets as Buzz and spike peer over your shoulder.
>It takes a few minutes but you finally manage to find a name you recognize.
“Now then, let’s see what this baby can do.”
>You say with a grin as you pull out a bottle of ketamine and fill a nearby hypo gun with its contents before handing off a few extra bottles to Spike.
>”Are you sure you know what you’re doing with that?”
>Buzz asks incredulously, stopping you in your tracks as you march off towards the Heartless’ container brandishing the hypo gun.
“Sure enough to know that if sedatives work on heartless this ought to knock it out like a light. Come on I need you guys to cover me, we can’t have the little bastard getting loose.”
>You gesture with the hypo gun for Buzz to follow you and reluctantly the space ranger cycles up his laser and draws a bead on the heartless should it manage to slip past you.
>You turn to give Spike his instructions but the little dragon shoots you an affirmative nod and takes up a post on the counter as he flips out his vibro knife; ready to tackle the wee beastie if things go sideways.
>You pop your keyblade into existence in your left hand as you drum your fingers on the grip of the hypo gun.

“Okay Spike, pull the lid off on three.”
>The little dragon nods nervously as he puts down his knife and grips the edges of the lid with both hands.
“One”
>You clench your fist around the grip of the gun and the muscles in your arms tighten as you get ready to try and stick the heartless.
“Two”
>A bead of sweat rolls down Spike’s forehead as the heartless shrieks at you from inside its glass prison.
“THREE”
>As soon as the words leave your mouth Spike rips the lid off the jar and Buzz tenses up ready to fire.
>For an agonizing moment time seems to stop as you freeze and the heartless stares back up at you with its dead yellow eyes.
>The spell is broken when the creature screeches again and its twin spines begin to crackle with electricity.
>You bring your fist flying down with the force of a fat kid trying to get the last cookie from the cookie jar and squish the heartless against the bottom of its glass prison as you bury the needle between its eyes and pump it full of ketamine.
>The heartless’ twisted limbs flail about for a few seconds lashing at your hand and forearm before you manage to pull free and Spike slams the lid back on the jar, trapping the mini monster inside.
“FFFFFFFFFFFuck me running!”
>You hiss, dropping your keyblade to the ground where it promptly disappears as you clutch your forearm with your left hand.”
>”Quick let me see!”
>Buzz barks as he grabs your arm and extends it to get a better look at your wounds only to raise an eyebrow incredulously.
>There in his hands is your gloved arm still thoroughly protected by the thick material of your space suit.
>”It sure got you good there didn’t it?”
>Buzz smirks as you jerk your arm back and cradle it gently.
“It just surprised me is all.”
>You huff defensively as Spike taps on the glass jar.

>”Hey guys? I think it worked”
>The little dragon’s words pull your attention back to the task at hand and sure enough the heartless is collapsed in a semifluid blob at the bottom of the jar.
“We better make sure it’s really out.”
>You muse as you pick up the jar and run the extremely scientific test of shaking the living shit out of it.
>The heartless plops around the jar like an overripe tomato in a pinball machine but remains completely motionless.
“I’d call this a success gentlemen.”
>You say with a grin as the little goo monster oozes back to the bottom of its jar.
>You tuck the jar under your arm and the three of you head back over to Mina and company at the microscope.
“Well mission accomplished over here, the heartless are effected by anesthesia.”
>You say brandishing the sleeping monster before setting it aside.
>”Have any luck on your end?”
>Buzz asks as leans over your shoulder.
>Mina looks up at the three of you with a self-satisfied grin.
>”Sure did!”
>Mina chirps as Dan grinds his teeth and Ulysses squirms in his seat.
>”So what’s with…”
>Spike trails off at he points silently at Dan and Ulysses only for Mina to laugh.
>”Oh they’re just mad because they missed a host in their first sweep, honestly though even I’m lucky I caught it, Tokoyami’s blood isn’t exactly typical.”
>In the back of your mind you register Dan shouting, “Bitch I will cut you”, but Dan’s inappropriate outbursts can wait.
>Mina’s found all the hosts she thinks she can find, and you’ve come up with a way to safely extract the heartless.
>All that’s left now is to actually put everything together and pull it off.

Glad to see you back in business, boss.

Are we still doing the fire-based spellcrafting thing? We need that to drive it out still, right? And the conclusions on 1ID4's hydraulic fluid?

>>30525326
We could dose them up with ketamine and hook them up to dialysis.

Also why aren't we talking about 2018 confirmed and the fucking. Toy. Story World.

>>30525564
So which company's brand will be stuck on Toy Sora: Square Enix, or Disney?

>>30525648
If he has one my money is on square. Time to go check the model in the trailer.

>>30524918
So we can use sedatives on the blobs to neutralize them, and we've got our three bombs: Tokoyami, Mineta, and Den'ki. What's the plan for extracting them after we neutralize them?

Pic related, is why I wasn't going to mention it. That and I've been neck deep in the other KH games and haven't kept up with KH3 news

>>30526156
The difference is Altus dropped that date when they announced the game and hadn't gotten far in development. This game has been in development for years and what we've seen looks pretty fucking polished and japanese voice work is clearly well under way.

>>30525775
I know it's not remotely on topic, but can someone explain what Nyx is and why anyone cares? I have my suspicions, but I'd like to hear what people who actually know have to say about it first.

>>30526156
Expanding upon what I said in this post, I've beaten the Ventus line and am currently working through Terra's story in BbS. I have to say, the command melding and leveling concepts might be my favorite mechanics in the KH games that I've encountered so far. The series maintains its stark contrast between regular fights and boss fights, to the point that the only way I beat the final boss for Ventus' route was spamming Thunder Roll, but I think if I was able to take one character to level 99 with this system, as opposed to taking 3 characters to sound level 35, it'd be the best battle system I've experienced yet.

I skipped replaying 358/2 Days, partly because I remember the story well enough that I don't feel the need, and partly because it rivals Persona Q for "Most Complicated Story in Which Nothing Actually Matters".

>>30527123
This is kind of spoilers for DDD but,
Apparently Sora is supposed to be trying to rescue Roxas and Xion my dude.

>>30527887
Which feels really oxymoronic to me. I don't think Roxas and Ventus can exist separately at the same time.

Well now that this is a thing the entire inverse morning CYOA is now cannon

>>30528101
Not exactly, I doubt star command is cannon with regular toy story.

>>30528023
Nah man they can coexist, they're entirely separate entities. Roxas isn't using any part of Ven to exist, the appearance deal is just a matter of Ven's heart piggy backing on Sora's when Roxas was born. The real problem is Sora and Roxas coexisting, since in order for Roxas to exist he kind of needs Sora's body. Which Sora also needs.

>>30527035
any opinion you'll get is one sided, even from me. read the fanfic Past Sins if you want to know. Will state Chapter 0 is the most edgy so just be aware of that

>>30527035
Nyx is an OC from a famous/infamous fanfiction called Past Sins. If you're even remotely interested in the story, suffice to say that she's got history with Equestria's past, and some would rather her face the music. If you don't care for spoilers, Nyx is a reincarnation(?) of Nightmare Moon that attaches herself to Twilight, and vice versa.
She becomes a member of the CMC, is an alicorn, and a tragic past. Also, Celestia wants to punish her for Nightmare Moon's shit.

From what I can tell, most folks dislike Nyx because she's a well-known OC, and as such has gone through more scrutiny than others. Personally, I've never touched the stuff.

>>30527123
So you'd think.

We should use quotes from FF Tactics when casting our spells, occasionally. Some of them are a little dark for KH, but they actually sound like spell incantations. Maybe if we ever take that spell crit ability, and we manage to connect with it? I mean, some of these are rad:
>Strip away the ground with glistening blades! THUNDER!
>Life's refreshing breeze, heal from the sky! CURA!
>Spell break, turn into an avenging light! REFLECT!
>Absorb power in the sky... and strike! THUNDER FALL!

It's completely childish, but for dramatic moments, it could be fun maybe?

He wuz a good boy

Yen-sid, i have a very important question
Will there be keyblade transformations?

Is it just me, or does Sora lose brain cells with each new game?

>>30532328
Given how regularly he loses his memory or has all his powers taken away between games, probably.

>>30532296
I had been thinking the highest you were going to get would be drives and dual weilding but now I'm going to say maybe. It depends on what you're able to find out about the last great keyblade war. And given you're a historian of sorts this build does have a leg up on uncovering old secrets.

>>30532395
Well, we're probably gonna have some time to kill between worlds, seems like the perfect time to ask our resident keyblade war expert...assuming he knows anything else
If not...maybe we'll run into merlin or yen sid or something

>>30532395
Also, from the looks of the trailers, keyblade transformations seem to be like a mix of drive forms and command styles

>>30532630
expert is a little strong, Dan's more like an e/x/pert on the subject.

>>30533057
Still, better than nothing

hi guys i got a question a while ago when the thread caped i assume the thread was gone for a good while what was the deal with that?

>>30533458
I wasn't really in a place where I could write on a regular basis so I just left the thread down for a while after it died.

>>30534267
ah alright thank you i thought the mods got ban happy or something

>>30534525
Nope, Life just got in the way for a while.

So RE: a path forward I'm not really seeing a solid consensus here on your final plans. or even really a consensus at all.

The options I've seen pitched so far are.

1) Somehow use fire magic to drive the neutralized heartless from their hosts. A spell is certainly a viable option though I have yet to see a real plan on how you plan to accomplish this. If you can figure out how the spell works and what it does I'll let you try and create a new spell but you can't just roll spellcraft to spontaneously create a spell from nothing that will perfectly solve your current problem. You should also note making a new spell will be time consuming, especially if its going to be rather complicated.

2) Use dialysis to extract the heartless while it and its host is doped up.
This plan has the benefit of not having any underpants gnomes style structural problems.

3)And then from the previous thread we had use positive emotion to drive the heartless from the hosts.
Note: this plan hasn't been tested.

>>30535382
If we knew where the Ooze was hanging out, we might be able to work the Fire spell work, but we don't have enough info imo.

The dialysis seems safer and smarter, though my medical knowledge is poor in that accord.

Context on the underpants gnomes?

77KB, 363x274px

>>30535547
It's an old reference to the second season of southpark. This kid named week claimed that every night these gnomes came into his room and stole his underpants. Naturally everyone assumed he was crazy but as it turned out the gnomes existed and were stealing underpants from the whole town. When pressed on why the gnomes explained it was all part of their plan, which as the image shows was
Stage 1: Underpants
Stage 2: ???
Stage 3: Profit

Much like the underpants gnomes plan the the magic plan has a big old ??? in the middle of it.

>>30535547
I think the heartless is spread evenly throughout the circulatory system so I don't think targeting it's specifically is going to be an issue. All we need to do is heat the body up evenly

In order to pull this off I think what we need to do is create a buff spell that spins together our performance skill with the fire element to create a magical riff that will bring our target to a literal fever pitch. That way we have a buff spell we can use going forward and a way to emergency purge any future victims.

I'm thinking this for our music but I'm not sure what buff effect the spell should have.

>>30536018
>need to extract the Ooze without agitating it
>fire bard the fuck out of it for a rocking tune

Interesting choice.

>>30536018
Along these lines, my initial thought was the Temper spell from way back in FFI, which would be a buff under normal circumstances (boosts their attack/gives them barbarian-style rage), but makes them quite literally hot-blooded in this case. hence that series of "Hotblooded" puns in the last thread

>>30536153
It may be a touch unusual but I do like that it's something we can use outside of the med bay. A dialysis machine ain't exactly portable.

>>30536169
A fiery rage spell could be pretty fucking sweet.

>>30537837
And I guess we could explain mechanically that the spell doesn't so much increase adrenaline as it kind of burns through anything that isn't adrenaline? So, it'd just fry dopamine, seratonin, Heartless cells, etc. and leave nothing but that pumped up feeling, hence why berserkers always get fatigued after: once the adrenaline wears off, their body is working to bring them back to normal chemistry from almost nothing. The idea of excluding one thing as a target is a lot easier than targeting something, I'd think, so hopefully that'd make the spell a little easier to craft?

>>30536018
I'm cool with us trying to use music as a unique vector for our spell, but perhaps we should try it without first, then see if performance makes it easier/more effective/last longer/etc.

I vote Dan as our first test subject, if we go this route; he's already angry all the time anyway so he can probably ignore the battle rage (if it makes him any more mad at all), and if we can burn out the Heartless in his system, we'll at least know it worked and is thorough enough to try on true infected. Plus if it works too well, he'll probably be easier to take down than Spike would be. inb4 this is why Victor wasn't infected: he's literally too mad and even the Heartless cells fear his rage.

>>30537987
I was pictureing more like a fiery theme music power up than an outright burning rage. But then again that may be a little bravely default talking. The theme music buff timer attached to the overdrives was one of my favorite mechanics in the game.

>>30538196
I know exactly what you mean senpai.
https://youtu.be/tl363Wh4ghU

>>30538196
I'm down for however we to spin it, my concern is more keeping it at a level we can create and cast it; Yen or someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that music magic was going to be tough to cast? If we can go bard on this and still be able to pretty reliably cast it, I'm in though.

>>30538970
Music is a distinct magical element you can unlock down the road but what you're proposing isn't music magic outright.

the way I'd interpret what you're trying to do is as a fire spell where you're walking the fire element back to the basic emotions that the magic is composed of and trying to pass that on to your target. More like creating a spiritual flame instead of a physical one. And then the physical music you're creating acts as a verbal/somatic component that helps drive the emotions home.

It's going to be tough for a novice like Anon to pull off but this would be a pretty rad tool to have in the bag if it works.

>>30539271
We might as well try, then. At least we'll know if it works before going for the dialysis option afterwards.

>>30539271
Well, it can't hurt to try...hopefully

>>30539549
Well if it hurts hopefully it will hurt spectacularly.

Magic spell it is then guys, i'll get to work.

>>30541519
Dunno if it'll help, but I think we've got a pen left for Spellcrafting.

>>30541519
hyped already!

So we've got at least three worlds confirmed for KHIII: Toy Story, Hercules, and Twilight Town. What're your guesses for the rest of them?

>>30542605
Tangled and Big Hero 6 are also confirmed

>>30543447
After that happened I was very concerned about modem dis becoming the dominant world source. Glad toy story put that fear to bed

>>30544127
We aren't out of the woods yet, frozen might still be a world.

>Shit movie becomes shit skipable world.
I can live with this

>>30545876
I'd still do it if there was a keyblade at the end

>>30545876
It might just be worth it to me if we get Olaf as a summon, because that'll at least mean the entire world of Frozen was swallowed in sweet, suffocating darkness.

So, do you guys think we're going to get Disney stories a little more in-depth than what we had in 1 and 2, now that the audience might be a bit older? That was always the weakest part of the games for me, was how lazily shoehorned in Sora's involvement was, along with how bland the Disney folks came across. I hope we get characters and motivations that are a little more... uh, coherent? This time around.

>>30546061
Well with toy story at least nomura has promised an original story that isn't just a movie plus sora, so I'm hopeful.

>>30549508
A pinkie thought, if pinkie can magically appear and pull a FOREVER when someone attempts to break a pinkie promise, could we just summon pinkie to us if we tried to break a pinkie promise?

>>30550235
>implying breaking a Pinkie Promise wouldn't give 10000 DARKNESS points and turn us into Giga-Xehanort

>>30550348
is it even breaking a pinkie promise if you make it with the explicit intention of breaking it to exploit pinkies powers?

>>30550508
Is burning a house down for the explicit intention to bring that person there burning a house down?

>>30550561
Yeah but what if you built the house with the express intention of burning it down?

>>30550641
Building it under someone's name and with their money and shit.

Look, the last time someone broke a Pinkie Promise, she hunted her down like a Hellhound and nearly broke three laws of physics and gravity. Don't do this.

>And you know how to sedate the heartless enough to extract them without harming the host.
>But you’re no closer to having a solid way to physically remove the damn things than you were when you started.
>Sure the filtration system did technically work, heartless attack notwithstanding, so you could probably hook the victims up to dialysis.

>Something clicks in your head as you throw the notebook down on the desk and franticly flip through the pages to the section on conjuring fire.
>”All magic stems from an emotional core in order to weave raw mana into a useful form. Fire in particular stems from forms of spiritual or emotional warmth.”
“We already know they don’t like fire, and if positive emotions hurt them…”

>If you’re using emotions in order to craft flames out of magic and sling them around what happens if you sling that magic around half formed.

“Okay, think cool thoughts.”
>You say to yourself taking a deep breath as your keyblade materializes in your hand.
>You focus on your magic and you can feel the rush of energy as it flows through the lattice of your own emotions and the mysterious stranger begins to glow a pale blue.
>But just as the raw magical power begins to form you let it go slinging the energy at Dan.

“Ugh back to the drawing board. Maybe we can find some kind of mp3 file or some…”

“What the hell…”

Here's the kicker, it works with other elements.

>>30552618
Can't wait to see what it does with blizzard, thunder, and any other elements we might get in the future

>>30552779
I've already got the music in mind for the thunder chord, but if anyone has suggestions to float for blizzard I'd love to hear them.

As for effects I can tell you that Fire grants a temporary bonus to strength and charisma.

That said I'm thinking something kind of bluesy for the ice spell but I can't think of anything specific.

>>30532395
So provided we actually unlock keyblade transformations what do you all suppose the mysterious stranger will transform into?

>>30552779
>Aero song
https://youtu.be/7pb1VkjCixU
>Blizzard song
https://youtu.be/oZ7lrWFKQbw
look, if you want chill music, I challenge you to come up with something more appropriate than that.

I'm having trouble coming up with guitar songs fast enough to play in battle but still able to convey an emotion other than "pumped".

>>30555143
Well once we get out of the primary elements we'll be getting into more unusual effects so feel free to get a little more eclectic

>>30555143
For spells involving music it seems appropriate that vocals would increase the potency of the spell but take longer while inversely no vocals would be quicker but weaker
Like this https://youtu.be/jMi29vb-zXU

I imagine that Magnet (if it counts as an element) would sound something like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGr_bCmB7uM

Would Cure be? https://youtu.be/rjlSiASsUIs or is spike too young

>>30557118
As much as I like the healing pun I don't think that you can get much more apropriate for a cure spell than The Cure.

I just don't know if we should go with
Lovesong
https://youtu.be/hXCKLJGLENs
Boys don't cry
https://youtu.be/ryImbOTDXe8
Just like heaven
https://youtu.be/8Dhn_iIQXDE

All three start off with some pretty sick guitar riffs and all the names seem fairy thematically appropriate for a healing spell.

Also I love how this spellcraft has just become a thinly veiled excuse to post good music

Quick, what song best reflects the concept of Reflect? That's right!
https://youtu.be/X208RhDlVUo
I'd be really okay with this for Blizzard:
https://youtu.be/kEGuHdKn0Lc

Think we'll ever meet an enemy bard?
https://youtu.be/0lVdMbUx1_k

>>30557319
The only issue have with immigrant song is that it's kind of too hype for a blizzard rift. The spell boosts wisdom and constitution and makes you frosty and unflappable. Freezes out all the noise and gives you clarity. It's really more mellow slow jam territory.

As for the spoiler, it's a Disney game everyone and their dog can carry a tune. I'd say odds are good

If we can ever upgrade power chord with -ra spells I suggest this for fira
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCnebZnysmI

>>30557568
Not bad but I was thinking we might trade up to some even spicier flamenco stuff if the music changes with spell level.

So what you're saying is that we might have a Battle of the Bands?

>>30558802
Do you think canterlot high and equestria are two halves of the same world like halloween town and christmas town or are they two entirely separate worlds?

>>30558802
Maybe, if it's the latter like >>30559094 suggests then they already have some experience passing between worlds

Just a thought, since sora is supposedly going to the olympus colosseum to unlock the transformation ability, wouldn't anon just have to go to a similar world?
Somewhere with a close relation to it's own mythology and a focus on combat

Also, semi-related, will there be tournaments?

>>30560137
Sora is going there to discover the power of awakening. We have no idea what that is how he gets it and how it ties back to keyblade transformation

>>30560546
>>30560137
Logically one would conclude it allows him to awaken his keyblade's and unlock new forms but we still don't know anything else about how it works where it comes from how you gain this power and what it even has to do with Olympus in the first place.

Sorry about the lack of updates last night and today. We bred Iggy to a french bulldog a couple months back and a pair of frenchton puppies were delivered last night.

Anyway I'm about to start writing the next section, but before I get started I just thought I'd get details of your plan down. I assume the general thrust of it is to put Tokoyami, Mineta and Den'ki under and then hit them with the power chord but I wanted to make sure there weren't any particular precautions you wanted to take.

If you don't have any particular requests I'm just going to have Mina Bring them all into the emergency wing so you can hit them all at once.

>>30563771

>>30564764
Wow, they're so tiny
Keep us posted on the pups, dude

>>30564764
What adorable little guys! I'm assuming you're keeping them, right? Do they have names yet?

>>30563965
I'm fine with doing them one at a time, we still don't technically have confirmation that this will work, just a really good hunch. I'd hate to buff these guys but not actually excise the Heartless, that could get nasty in a fight.

>>30567246
As the mother isn't my dog I'm only entitled to one of the pups as iggy's stud fee. Which in this case is half the litter. As for keeping mine I'm already at my apartment's pet limit so that's fairly unlikely. Fortunately I know some people interested in buying a Frenchton. Even more fortunately Frenchtons are a popular designer dog breed and I could get nearly two grand out of this puppy.

>>30567744
Fuckin double dubs

>>30567744

Damn, Yen. Sucks that you're at pet capacity, but even if you weren't, I'd suggest you make that skrilla.

>>30567744
Coolio! I can't say I particularly enjoy the idea of dog breeding under most circumstances, but it sounds like you've got a plan for him/her, and Frenchton is a mixed dog breed, so they're less prone to genetic problems than purebred bulldogs.

>>30569057
It helps that the frenchie and the Boston terroer are fairly healthy breeds to begin with aside from the squish faces. That can lead to some breathing issues like snoring and being prone to overheating in the winter

Trying to come up with Sunny Shim-Sham's Nobody's name makes me realize how many pony names have a horrible ratio of consonants to vowels. Applejack, Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer all have double letters, "Twilight Sparkle" has 11 consonants to 4 vowels (12 if you count the added "x"), and it's already tough to anagram their names into two words again without adding letters.

I'm pretty sure the Pony Organization XIII would have to go by numbers, is what I'm saying, unless they spent a whole lot of time with scrabble tiles and Twilight suggesting ways "x" is pronounced in various cultures.

>>30574054
One would think they would just use half their name. Like rainbow, twilight, sunset, ect. Though having Twiggles sit around with a scrabble bag seems very in character.

Though knowing what we know about X I doubt non organization nobodies even use it.

>>30572959

Anders needs two assistants. Each person carries 4 days' rations.

Day 1: All three consume 1 day's ration.
Assistant #1 gives 1 day's ration to Anders and 1 day's ration to Assistant #2, leaving them with 4 days' rations. That leaves Assistant #1 with 1 day's ration to return home.

Day 2: Anders and Assistant #2 consume 1 day's ration, leaving them with 3 days' rations apiece. Assistant #2 gives Anders 1 day's ration, giving Anders a total of 4 days' rations to complete the journey and leaving Assistant #2 with 2 days' rations to return home.

so when we purge the heartless from the hosts we're just killing them right? No plans on studying them or anything like that?

Anon and Co. VS. Kaminari Parasite Start!

>>30581114
General plan should be simple. Keep the helmets on both Buzz and the Engineering Suits on, have Anon freeze the bugger with Blizzard, and have Dan and Spike pummel it while Buzz uses the laser.

>>30581114
Let's throw a Thunder Bulwark on Mina, she's most vulnerable to one of its more dangerous long range attacks. We can try to keep it away from her and Den'ki if it tries to reinfect, otherwise what >>30581428 said sounds like a good general plan.

>>30581959
I wonder if we should arm denki. He is already buffed and if I remember right nigga is immune to electricity.

>>30583794
He doesn't have face protection, though, which is worrisome in case the buff runs out and the Ooze gets frisky again.

>>30585356
Fair, though if I recall correctly there's supposed to be some kind of breathers in the med bay right? We should probably start distributing those once we get through this fight.

>>30586185
On that subject, how about a good old-fashioned investigate check? Maybe for something Mina and Den'ki can defend with, other than a clipboard and raw charisma, respectively.

>>30586581
Oh yeah, we should do a pre-battle investigation, since this room's a new one.

>>30586581
Oh yeah with this buff denki has charisma out the ass doesn't he

sorry had a birthday to go to after work but ask and you shall receive.

>As the heartless slowly pulls itself together your eyes shoot around the room taking in your surroundings.
>In addition to the chair you had attempted to sedate Den'Ki in the room also contains a hospital bed and a crash cart which Ulysses is currently hiding behind.
>If it weren't for the fact you're fairly certain this heartless can absorb electricity that defibrillator might have proven extremely useful.
>Even if you can't fry the heartless with it, better make a mental note of it.
>You never know when you'll need to kickstart someone's heart.
>There are a couple of IV stands at the back of the room giving you brief flashbacks of a trip to the ER for alcohol poisoning.
>Still if that drunken office chair jousting match that night taught you anything it's that those things are sturdier than they look.
>Maybe you can have someone throw one to Den'ki Mina or Ulysses. It would certainly be better than nothing for fending off some heartless.
>Finally you see a box of surgical facemasks sitting on the counter.
>They're not exactly the atmospheric filters Buzz had told you about but if it can keep out Sars maybe it can hold a the heartless at bay long enough for help to arrive if the little bastards try to get overly frisky.

>>30589226
So for general distance managing, where is everyone, in relation to distance to th Ooze? We might be able to have Mina or Den'Ki reach them if we can distract the Ooze.

Also, I feel somewhat retarded for not suggesting Magnet to keep the bugger in check for now.

>>30589626
By them, I meant the masks. That shit should be readily available to everyone.

>>30589626
It's not a very large room so let's say the core 4 party members are all surrounding the heartless about 15 feet away from it. Ulysses is hiding behind the crash cart and is roughly 10 feet behind buzz. Mina has taken up position cowering behind dan so she's only 5 feet further from the heartless than our manlet. Denki is unfortunately fairly close to our monster as he just threw up the damn thing. He's only 10 feet from the heartless between buzz and the target.

>>30590598
We really need Den'Ki to book it to safety while we keep it still with Blizzard or Magnet. Need to keep its attention on us.

>>30590906
He's actually in slightly less danger than Mina I'd think, between that fire buff that'll probably make him unattractive to pounce on and his probable lightning absorbtion or immunity. We should still exercise caution, but as a Cadet, I'm guessing he can sort of handle himself in a fight, too.

We should absolutely be the thing's primary focus, though; I imagine it's going to go full Pikachu if we Magnet it into the air, so we should take that into account. I'm still in favor of shielding Mina, maybe Spike can roll Ulysses an IV stand; get Dan swinging on the bugger, put Den'ki on mask-fetching duty, and next turn we can get to work on this little shit. Or is that too much prep, when we could just go ham on this sucka?

>>30592221
My main worry is that the Ooze will keep its fast mobility and try to flee if Dan can't pick up the aggro. But it could work.

>>30593006
I thought Buzz put up that barrier thing before we kicked off this shindig off, though? If that's down, definitely, we should focus on keeping aggro a bit more, but if it's contained in the room all we have to do is keep it off the unarmed folks, no?

>>30593187
Provided the barier proves effective yes.

>tfw we ate shit hard

So with the only active members being Den'Ki, Buzz, and Anon, seemingly in that attack order, if Denki can reach a chair or IV stand, he should start pummeling the Parasite while Buzz keeps firing. It's hard to decide what Anon should do, so I'll suggest keeping it frozen.

Shit would be easier with an Ether or two.

>>30597085
seeing as we have no Ether maybe an ether soaked rag will do

>>30597096
That may restore our mana but I imagine it would also leave us tripping balls. So maybe not a good idea.

With the Heartless frozen, the strat to me seems to Magnet Tether and slam it into the wall near Den'ki. Have Den'ki start beating it with an IV and have Buzz fire his laser again (or line up the sights for it, if he can't fire this turn).

>>30597952
This would be a good strategy, only there's one problem: Den'Ki's faster than Anon, who's slower than Buzz. Anon seems to be the turtle of this battle, so that should be taken into account.

>>30597952
>>30598394
We should quickly find out if hitting den'ki with thunder would boost him even further, either asking or just shoving a bolt up his ass.

>>30599166

>>30598522
I'd be a little worried that we might blow him out like an overcharged battery if we hit him up with too much energy.

Kaminari Parasite 10/60 HP

Anon: 40/50 HP 37/60 MP
Buzz: 49/59 HP 92% power
Spike: 41/61 HP 4 superiority dice
Dan: 28/48 HP

>>30605220
We really need to stop getting into these close calls. My poor heart's not equipped for this.

I'm assuming Spike's still out of commission from the paralysis, so we need to keep this asshole still long enough to beat it to a pulp. Anon seems to be in the lead now, so I wonder if we can't do a bit of a Strike Raid and toss our Keyblade at the Ooze?

Also, the Power should probably be less, since Buzz had 92% before.

>>30605242
You're correct buzz should be at 84%

>>30605242
Strike raid seems like a good idea, we're pretty experienced at summoning the keyblade mid-combat now or we could play it safe and hit it with blizzard again.
Speaking of which our MP should be lower after the magnet tether.

>>30606550
Jesus I'm just not on the ball today. Anon's Mp ought to be 30

>>30605220
I'd think we can probably just beat this little slimeball down this turn, no? Maybe just Fire or Blizzard the hell out of it? That combined with a good strike from one (or hell, all, 'cause fuck this thing) of our friends oughta splatter it, I'd think.

>>30607442
>Inb4 we start playing Heartless Tennis!
XD

I like the idea of a Strike Raid.

>>30607574
Maybe with the next one.

I would suggest going with blizzard to to try and further immobilize it, but with 10 hp we should be fine just hanging up unless literally everyone misses.

All that to say lets strike raid the shit out of it. If we miss we have three more attacks to clean up with.

>>30609408

so since this fight is about to wrap up I think the next question we should be preemptively ask is how do we deal with the next heartless. Do we want to use magic again or try another method? And if we stick with Magic do we want to try and set up any prep work?

>>30613288
If we can find some containment canisters like what we scooped that first one into, we should give them that and tell them that they'll likely experience some nausea as a result of the treatment. (What they throw up is a biohazard, so they need to vom into this container, I guess?) Once they do, we can snap that fucker shut and call this mission complete, right?

>>30613440
Given the little one we have was the size of a baseball and these are the size of a German Shepard maybe we need more like a trash can.

>>30613288
I think the bigger worries are whether or not the barrier machine still works, as well as dealing with Tokoyami's Parasite. If the powers are remotely similar, we're talking about a sentient shadowbeast that can go absolutely berserk.

Sunlight does drain the power, but I don't think we can rely on that, being in an ER..

>>30613805
>We're in an ER.
>A space ER at that.
Biohazards are not something you'd want to keep around for any length of time on a space station, even contained.
Surely there's a disposal facility in here, even if it's something as basic as a furnace.

The heartless is a puddle when it's first ejected, if everyone is prepared when it happens it should go down pretty quickly, especially since we almost got it down to 50% despite half the party getting rekt by it. >>30597050
Magnet tether to hold it still while everyone unloads on it is probably the safest option, albiet mp intensive.

Unrelated to the current situation, but if we eventually learn keyblade transforming and there's nothing particularly urgent going on, does anyone else think we should just try it with all the keyblades we have at that point?

>>30615127
We'll almost certainly get a larger ship at some point so I can totally see us playing with the transformation function between worlds.

>>30615627
And until then, we can experiment with spellcraft

>>30614491
Yeah the action economy of dnd means that a 4 on one battle is pretty lopsided. even with the enemy crowd controlling you and losing two members for a couple of turns you still wrecked it pretty fast. One of your greatest strengths as a large group is simply that you are a large group and can therefore do a lot more per round.

An incinerator of some kind isn't a bad Idea. I'll have the group look into one once this fight clears up.

Reminder that Spike has a fire breath we haven't used yet.

Midnight bump

>>30616378
I wonder how long anon would last in a 1'000 heartless type battle with this sort of ruleset.

I hope there's something like that in kh3, a huge battle against heartless that isnt limited by the ps2's processor.

>>30617455
Well he'd most likely be taking a minimum of 9 attacks per round seeing as he's fully surrounded. More if there are ranged heartless mixed in. All the enemies would have advantage on their attacks and Anon would probably have disadvantage on his. Meaning Anon is most likely to miss and the heartless are most likely to hit. I'd expect Anon to bite it in one turn under standard 5th Ed rules. But then I'd also expect a unique set of rules for that encounter to make it more possible.

>>30618215
Maybe a dumb question, but I know in Pathfinder there were rules for swarm enemies, like fighting a bunch of tiny or miniscule creatures as a group. does something like that exist in 5e? I'd assume Anon would just be taking a set amount (or slightly variable amounts) of damage each turn, and could alternate attack/heal until he destroyed them all.

Plus if Spike was in this and got Greater Cleave, I think there's no real limit to the number of times he could attack, so assuming he was buffed enough to consistently one-shot the things he could just obliterate 8 squares of enemies at a time until his Superiority Dice ran out.

>>30617455
I was thinking about that recently too, I hope we do have a fight like that, the PS4 seems to be able to handle lots of models on-screen pretty well.

>>30619046
Beep

>>30618249
If spike has reach with his lance, which he should, he can probably hit something like 12 enemies a turn if he's lucky.

>>30618249
It looks like 5th ed doesn't have a swarm rule per say like pathfinder did. It does however have a couple of swarm monsters like swarm of rats.

Such monsters have one hit point pool for all the members of the swarm. They can occupy enemy spaces, and their attacks become weaker as they loose hp and members of the swarm die and the swarm becomes smaller.

So i suppose we could do a "swarm" of heartless with a load of hp and a number of special attacks that amount to individual heartless attacking you in different ways, but limit the number of actual attacks you're taking per turn to something that you can potentially survive.

>>30621251
>...doesn't have a swarm rule *per say*...

>You say, nodding as you agree with the space ranger.
>”The question is, how do we fix it in the next go round? “
>Fortunately you’ve already been giving that some thought.
“Mina do we have some way that we can dispose of the heartless immediately after it’s expelled from the body? A biohazard containment unit or maybe an incinerator?”

>>30623007
That's a good question. Buzz is literally our Atlas: holding the entire figurative Infinity on his shoulders, along with three civvies that aren't anywhere near as trained as he probably would want them to be and another stuck with a close friend on the other side of the station. And yet he has to keep the stoic, brave facade up to keep the situation from falling apart.

While I can't think of anything to encourage him, I admire that resolve and determination. I can see why people look up to him. If we can help shoulder some of the weight for him, I wouldn't mind.

>>30622993
Unless it can rapidly adapt to a host, spike is arguably the one that's least in danger from these things, on account of the 'breathes fire' ability he has.

>>30623007
Damn, there really isnt much you can say to that, a salute is probably appropriate.

>>30623622
Yeah but he can only breate Fire once or twice a day. It'll be a problem if they try and rape him again.

>>30623007
"I'll take your advice if you will: Don't take all of the burden yourself, Buzz. 'Cause really, we're not your sons and daughters, y'know? We're your friends and comrades; you can rely on us, just like we rely on you. Share the load, eh?"

Considering we found Powerline's gem and i doubt they missed Goofy's homeworld / Disney castle the first time they restored the worlds, it'll either summon Powerline or Max not sure which i want more desu meaning that in terms of timeline this cant exactly be all that long after the KH canon.
Even if the goofy movie didnt happen in either this or KH, PL was roughly goofy's age, so it stands to reason the other world-travellers should still be around, although they might be indisposed.

>>30639374

Or, alternatively, it's an alternate universe goofy

>>30639374

Why not both?

so, time for spell-raids?

>>30641715
Do we know how to? I know we can put MP into our Home Run Derbies to deal damage, but I didn't know we could elementalize them.

>>30641745
well, we won't know until we try

>>30641745

I figure, seeing as our elemental spellcraft is just "convert mana into energy", we could probably slap that on top of almost anything. The real question is whether or not it's worth it.

>>30642367
Is be down for a more status heavy attacks than raw damage

>>30641745
since we can already apply elemental damage to regular attacks i would imagine we can probably stack an elemental type onto most specials too. I just imagine mana cost goes up.

>>30642367
I seem to recall the elemental cost was pretty cheap, probably cheap enough for us to get away with stacking it onto a strike raid.

So what's the plan for our dwindling MP pool? Think there's any Ether-like items available and nearby for that?

>>30657368
Well seeing as we're in a med bay I'm sure we've got options. We could probably roll investigate and rummage around but I think it would probably help if we had an idea of what we were looking for ahead of time.

>>30657368
I feel like once we've got Medbay contained, it'll be (if nothing else) a good place to rest for a day and get our strength back. I know we don't want to wait too long trying to rescue Rarity and Woody, but if we don't find a way to recuperate some mana and such, it might be the best option we have.

>>30658208
It might be about time to rest anyway. All this testing has to have been fairly time intensive.

>>30658208

>>30658698
My only concern is making the other two wait when we've already fixed one of them.

>>30661419

Yeah, though our MP is the only barrier to continuing, so if we can find an MP restorative item, we should probably go with that and keep moving.

Sarcastic and cocky, able to warp different places quickly, even pretty loyal to his alliance once he's forged one. I'd put RD in his spot.
>Xaldin
Has that whole honorable knight thing going on, I'd put Applejack here?
>Vexen
As the more egotistical, easily provoked of the two eggheads on the team (the other being Zexion), I feel like Trixie fits better here than on Zexion.
>Lexaeus
Absolutely, Big Mac. He's big and strong and doesn't afraid of anything. Though if you said Maud I wouldn't disagree either.
>Zexion
I'm okay putting Twi here as the less douchey smart-person, though I could also see Glim-Glam in the same role, and the urge to draw parallels to main characters is strong, so maybe Twi would do better as Roxas.
>Saix
Luna is right on the money for this one, between the temper and moon motif.
>Axel
This is tough, because Axel's main character trait was "underhanded but a good person", and MLP doesn't really equate duplicity with decency. I guess maybe RD could go here if you subbed Lightningdust in as our Xigbar?
>Demyx
Kooky and easygoing with a love of music makes this one easy, Panko Poe.
>Luxord
Man, I got nothin'. "Gambling" is a hobby, not a character trait; I guess Dr. Hooves for the time references?
>Marluxia
Grand schemer and kind of egotistical? I could see Rarity in that position.
>Larxene
The list of sadistic ponies is pretty short, I guess maybe Suri Polomare? Fleetfoot? Chrysalis would be the most appropriate, but it kind of feels like cheating to pick villains.
>Roxas
Either Twilight or Sunset, with Sunset being the better choice honestly, since she's a lot closer on the "shadowy reflection" scale than Moondancer, Trixie, or Starlight.

And the reason I didn't try to jam Yellowquiet in there was because she'd probably fit best as Namine, personality-wise.

What worlds do you hope we run into?
Do you think we're gonna do the kh2 thing and go to each world 2+ times?

I think it helps sometimes to look with their titles and manipulations as looking lenses.

Xigbar with his power over the attribute of Space reminds me more of Ponk's ability to pull out all the shit.

Could certainly see Xaldin with AJ, though I would argue that he was far from playing the part of an "honorable knight", with all of his underhanded methods.

For the most part, my bias on Twi being Vexen is his title, "The Chilly Academic".

As for Zexion being Trixie, that's mostly because of his ability to manipulate the attribute of Illusion.

The big thing about Demyx, other than his kookiness and easygoing nature, is that he's craven at almost every turn. Doesn't quite fit the Ponko in my opinion.

>>30692861
My top three guesses are Gravity Falls, Kim Possible, and Ducktales. It's certainly looking that way, unless Zerg shows up when we hit the main infestation.

Guys, i had an idea for a future spellcraft
Bomb
Coalesce the spell into a small sphere, then throw it and watch the fireworks
Also perfect for shoving in the mouths of large enemies

>>30695583
I'm fairly certain we had that one in the pipeworks for a while, but that's certainly a good idea.

Boop

Man, I'm at Otakon right now, and there are a surprisingly large number of keyblades, and they are all garbage foam pool noodles. Nobody is going to make an aluminum Kingdom Key that I would only feel slight embarrassment putting over a fireplace?

>>30704629
If you're willing to shill above $50, there's quite a number of deals on ebay and Amazon.

>>30704629
There are a couple metal ones I've seen but they're even more trash than the foam ones.

>>30705291
That's actually a pretty huge selection on foam ones that look surprisingly high quality.

>>30704629
I tell you what I want is the kingdom key they made on man at arms.

This is what I got by searching for metal Keyblades on Amazon. Knock yourself out.

That sleeping lion doesn't look too bad but all those kingdom keys look fucked. Honestly the foam wayward wind and kingdom key d look the best out of everything on the first page

So have we come to any kind of consensus on what we should say to Buzz?

>>30715436
If you can call "I don't really know what to say" a consensus. I guess solemn silence is technically an option but still it's not really one I'm keen on.

>>30715436
It's really hard to answer anything short of platitudes. We don't have any experience with this stuff before, and if there's something we can say, I can't find it.

>>30715436
>>30716990
Depending on how many casualties we end up accumulating I get the feeling that this may become increasingly appropriate.

Hopefully this doesn't look the part of a takeover, but I've been getting an itch to do more writing, and Yen's not too active on Sundays. So I'm thinking about bringing the mini-adventure with Sora and the gang on Sundays.

Feel free to give me a holler when you're able to continue, Yen.

Last time on the Diet Adventure:

>Sora and gang reach a new world and obtain a new form.
>They get on the good side of a local, Applejack, and have some breakfast with her family.
>Heartless come.
>Heartless go.
>Applejack introduces Sora to her friends to solve the Heartless threat.
>Sora and gang follow Twilight Sparkle to check up on a stressed out Carrot Top.
>They stave off a group of Heartless aiming for her carrots.
>They receive healing items and thanks, while Twilight is curious over Sora's magical potential.
>Now our heroes are deciding on who to check up on next: Rarity and Lyra, Pinkie and Octavia, Rainbow Dash and Derpy, or Fluttershy and the Everfree Forest.

The consensus last time was to meet up with Rarity, so short of any objections, I'll get started on that.

"Let's go check up on Rarity. If Lyra's being stalked by those things, we should help her as soon as possible."
>"Good idea, Sora. Thankfully, the Carousel Boutique's nearby, so let's see if she's there."
>Twilight places the Fresh Carrots and Carrot Muffins in her satchel as your group makes their way to Rarity's place.

>As you enter the Boutique, you're greeted with a number of exquisite-looking dresses, specifically made for ponies.
>Even with your limited knowledge on fashion, you can tell that Rarity must be on a league completely of her own.
>However, through the laces and frills, you can't seem to find her anywhere.
>Donald and Goofy look high and low, but with little luck as Goofy turns to Twilight.
>"Do ya think she's somewhere else?"
>Twilight shakes her head as she makes her way to the staircase.
>"I think she might just be upstairs. Rarity, Sora and I are here to help you with Lyra!"

>The faint sound of clopping can be heard as Rarity makes her way downstairs to greet you all.
>"Just in time, darling, I just saw her making her way to the park."
>Before the group of you could leave, Donald raises his voice.
>"You know, we might make her paranoia worse if she sees us following her."
>"Too true, dear. If we aren't in top form in terms of stealth, there's a good chance we may make the poor girl panic."
>Twilight nods, and turns to you.
>"If we simply meet up with Lyra face-to-face, I bet she'd be less paranoid around us. However, if there really is something stalking her, we could get a jump on them if we stay hidden"

>Lyra might not take it kindly if she finds you sneaking around her, but if there truly is something chasing her, an ambush would be possible.
>Playing it safe and meeting face-to-face wouldn't help you much if there is something waiting to strike, but Lyra would probably be much more amicable.
>You ponder whether or not your stealth capabilities are up for the task.

>>30719758
I feel like being a sneaky sneaky type isn't really sora's style. He's more the type to introduce himself with a smile and then face the foe head on.

"Sneaking around's not my style. Let's just meet Lyra and talk to her about her troubles. We can deal with whatever comes in the worst case scenario."
>"Sounds good. Alright, everypony, let's talk to Lyra!"
>Rarity smiles as she places a satchel on her back.
>"Excellent, I just finished packing!"
>With Rarity in tow, the four of you make your way down to the local park.

>Being around the late morning, the park is populated with the early morning exercisers and passerby.
>You can see Lyra sitting on a bench in the less populated side, her discomfort telling even from here.
>As your group makes their way closer, you turn back to Rarity, her satchel making some interesting sounds while moving.
"So what do you have in there, anyway? Sounds important."
>"Not at all, Sora. Just some gems Spikey helped me find earlier that I thought might help allay Lyra's worries."
>Donald tries to look annoyed, but you can notice his greed kicking in at the sight of some gems peeking out of her bag.
>A sharp jab brings his focus back as he tries to cover his glances.
>"T-this might be more serious than a cheering up situation, Rarity. I don't think gems will help you in a fight."

>Rarity grins as she pulls a ruby out with her telekinesis and puts it to the air.
>"Oh, I beg to differ, darling. I might not be as advanced as Twilight here, but I have some knowledge in Geomancy. Enough to protect myself, at least."
>For an example, she focuses some more magic onto the ruby, sending a small fire ball into the air.
>The fireball grazes Donald, scorching a couple of his feathers and earning Rarity a rather nasty glare while she giggled.
>"Apologies, Donald, just a small joke. Besides, I've been told I have a mean right hook as well."

>You finally make it to where Lyra is sitting, her attention more preoccupied by the nearby grass.
"Lyra?"
>She jolts up from her stupor and turns to you all, somewhat defensive, but not enough to completely avoid you.
>"Who are you? What do you want?"
>Twilight clears her throat and gives a smile.
>"We've heard from some other ponies that you looked like you were in trouble. We were wondering if we could help with anything."

>Lyra furrows her eyebrows for a while before looking back up, more relieved than she was before.
>"Well, I've been getting this feeling for the past few days that I'm being followed by somepony or something. It's been getting to thepoint where I have to keep away from my other friends to make sure they don't get targetted."
>Twilight looks back to you, giving a silent question about the probable suspect.
>You nod as you walk up to the distressed pony and give her a hoof on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Lyra, we'll help you find whatever's following you."
>Goofy looks behind him and readies his shield.
>"I don't think we have to worry about lookin' too hard. Here they come!"
>As he said, you notice Heartless spawning as Lyra panics and hides behind the porch.
"We need to protect Lyra. Don't let anything near her!"

Battle 3: Sora, Donald, Goofy, Twilight, and Rarity VS Heavy Impact (1 Large Body, 2 Soldiers, 2 Green Requiems, and 3 Shadows)

GO!

>>30724992
Rarity, as a guest, has unknown values, but currently has 10 Rubies, Sapphires, and Topazes (Total 30). Each gem can be used to channel an elemental spell (Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder respectfully). These can stack up to three times for increased effect. The more you stack of one gem, the stronger the spell (1 Ruby = Fire, 2 Rubies = Fira, 3 Rubies = Firaga). These will not regenerate during battle, so be mindful how you use them. Creativity might yield interesting results.

>>30724999
I want a bliz>fire>thunder simulcast hopefully we can melt our ice spell and create a super conductive state for our chain lightning.

>>30726487
That combination is possible, though it would cost you those three gems for the fight, and the results might not be as you imagine them.

Unless this is a command for Rarity this turn, in which case, you should probably give the Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Twilight commands as well.
