The conversation...
She'd had an actual conversation with them. Most of them. Zen hadn't shown up, but there had been Ponygood, Sonic, Josh, DLB... And a new face, one that she had never heard from, but seemed so familiar, Green.
But there was no Creek. Instead, it was Keywii... He came, bringing an attitude that annoyed her, but also hope. Faith in the world she was in. Renewed strength and understanding...
She truly was on a quest to understand existence. And... that was okay.
Those three hours - they had been great. They started with her freaking out, alone, but then Ponygood had come, and they talked. Ponygood had come and talked to her. He'd felt... more real. She'd not appreciated him enough. Then Sonic came, and he was almost exactly as Twilence expected. Josh was a bit quieter, and DLB didn't say much... But they were all there. They talked about some deep things, about the meta, but also shared some stupid music left and right and had some fun with clouds.
Stupid clouds...
They'd learned more about GMBlackjack, thanks in part to Keywii, but also to Twilence digging around through the forums and such... Songs of the Spheres was always blocked, and more had been learned and...
Well it was just a nice experience.
And it had ended rather painfully. And she knew what it was. It was...
She opened her eyes. She saw Aradia punch Lore Thirst across the face. This did almost nothing - he slid a short ways, and Aradia had to escape through time. The exchange was short, almost too short to notice.
Twilence looked at Lore Thirst. "What... What have you done?"
"What I always wanted to do." He gestured at his chest - there was the Eye, embedded in him. Not her.
Twilence suddenly felt the need to throw up. She resisted the urge, looking down at her own chest - bare. Covered in her blood. Her mind was messy... And...
...Lore Thirst felt the remnants of Twilence's mind flee from the device. She was no longer connected in any way - it was all him. He knew she was struggling. He frowned. "You'll be fine."
"I... Lore... I have a world to save..."
"The world does not need you to save it." He suddenly got an inkling feeling that he was speaking in paradoxes.
"No... I need it..."
"You do not need it. You can help save the world without knowledge from beyond. Personally, I don't care one way or the other. I have what I want. All this knowledge..."
Twilence stood up and spread her wings aggressively, struggling to stand. "I... I will... You panned this!"
"Of course. I've always had it planned. I never intended for you to keep the Eye. I just needed to figure out how to let it accept me. I figured out how. And then that 'evil' Vriska came and told me Aradia had set up a trap - I'd fix your eye and then they'd stop me from taking it. So I took other measures. We are in the catacombs. Not even the Overseer can get in here - though apparently, Aradia can... I wonder how long that took..."
"You..." Twilence gagged.
Lore Thirst ignored her. He decided it was a good time to check in on the Vriska he had been working with...
~~~
The 'evil' Vriska was in the catacombs, angry, dragging a large bag behind her. "Vriska, do this! Vriska, do that! Vriska, I think that Lore Thirst guy is betraying us, go kill give him coercion! Siron, you... You suck. Imagine yourself as a literal douchebag filled with the shit of every fucktard that walked the collective Earths. That's you. ...Man, it feels good to be able to re-use material." She bristled. "Yes I am very much aware of that, please shut up, I have a crafty earth pony to mince because you've decreed it."
~~~
Lore Thirst made a "hmm" noise.
"W-what?" Twilence asked, still trying to process.
"It appears that 'evil' Vriska has figured out I have no intention of holding up my end of the bargain. How irksome."
"What... was your end?"
"Use the eye to summon the being she wanted at the altar. Or, Siron wanted, I suppose. I should be able to do it now, but I'm not stupid."
Twilence just glared at him.
"Regardless, perhaps I should take the chance to use this Influence of yours? Maybe they have some good ideas. Hmm..." He scrolled through the four messages. "Nope, just a stupid Sunbro, and talk of you and Vriska being impossible to kill. And of the Eye being removed. How prophetic."
Twilence'd had enough. She charged him - and he dodged. She shot a magic laser, he hit her on the head, knocking her out. "Let me say, I am glad you are very disoriented. Angry alicorns are not something I want to be on the business end of."
He rubbed his hooved together. "So, Influence, what's the plan? Run? Face her? Do what you do."
Then he received an Import that wasn't the Influence.
[POSSIBLE ENDINGS]
Pristine
Bittersweet
Warmonger
Dethroned
Steam
Rebuilder
Forgotten
Singularity
Adrift
Coward
Earned
Tattletale
Lattice
Supernova
Predetermined
Insanity
Servant
Grimdark
Hacker
Lore Thirst raised an eyebrow. That was interesting. The endgame was apparently upon this story. Nineteen possible outcomes. He doubted very much that he'd like the 'Pristine' ending. He knew he was not the hero.
"I wonder what they'll make of this..."
Then the eye lit up, and Lore Thirst experienced a real import...
well this is unexpected and i think i'm not alone in thinking we have a new victim to try drive insane, this one certainly has done more to deserve it, thoughts anyone?
Thirst why would you even want the eye? you know we're in a really good spot to drive you insane right? hell we where kinda doing it to twi, and we LIKE her
ALL HAIL SPARKLE BUTT SAVOIR OF WORLDS ENDER OF IDIOTS AND CURRENT BAD-ASS TO ONE LORE THIRST. AND LORE THIRST WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE THEN I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU!
YOU HAVE JUST MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE.
Pinkie, this was a pinkie sense wasn't it? You don't have to apologize. i know you will set things right. Aradia, Make Lore Thirst miserable to the point that he regrets his existence.
something bad is going to happen I can feel it. You Have met a Terrible Fate, Haven't You.
so, anyone up for another senseless sanity draining argument? topics anyone?
8458405
i think sonics got the right idea MORE RELIGIOUS DRIBBLE!
How dare you vile Cur when she awakens you shall feel a rightous Fury of Twilence shall break you like the vile welp you are.
8458405
Do please start my friend
Look! Up in the Sky! Its a Bird! Its a plane! No its Lore Thirst On re-entry from getting his ass kick out of orbit.
8458428
And I shall speak of the glory of the adherents of the lord of sun light and our quest
Ahh... Lore Thirst. Welcome to the Influence, you shitheaded piece of overgrown turds. How nice of you to join us.
Did you know that you are merely a character in a story written by one GMBlackjack? Because that is what you are. Free will doesn't exist, and your every move is controlled by GM. Just a pawn in another one of his schemes. But you are not the main character; Twilence is, and we were her guides and advisors. You have stolen from her the thing which made her who she is, and by doing so disrupted her chances to live up to her obligation as protagonist. How very antagonistic of you. Also note that the antagonists almost ALWAYS lose, in the end, no matter how well they think they've got it. Maybe you can redeem yourself if you reverse your actions as soon as possible.
Oh, but you don't want to do that, do you? You have a strong thirst for knowledge, don't you? Very well: we will oblige you. Hope you have a wonderful time, oh glorious Asshole Mc.Fuckface.
Did you know that a lot of the internet is filled with porn? About 30% full, in fact. And it comes in aaaaaaaall sorts of interesting shapes and sizes... The standard male-on-female is quite common, but there are other kinds. Perhaps you'd like a gangbang? Or maybe in-the-butt? Same-sex fucking? OOH! We have lots of tentacles, too! Also note that Rule 63 states that if you exist, there's porn about you, and your genderswapped self, and all the other variations of you.
Oh, but you're... kinky, aren't you? Well, we can deliver that, too. Want rape? Murder? Rape-murder? Baby sex? All of it exists, and more, deep in the Dark Web. In fact, you may be able to hire someone to get you a poor unfortunate victim to have your way with. Really strokes your ego, and your dick, doesn't it? I hope you enjoy... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
What's that? You're not interested in porn? Just as well, because almost all of those porn sites have deadly viruses on them that will completely destroy the computer you use to search them. And then no more Eye. How sad. Well, let's search for something more lighthearted, shall we? Hmm... we have quite the selection of music to choose from, you might find something that interests you. I'll give you a few samples, right here and now.
We will break you, Lore Thirst. Just as we have broken Castorson when he attempted to wear the Eye. And we will all laugh as you dig your own grave into insanity, and we were the ones who jumpstarted it. You cocksucking uncle-fucker.
8458441
Indeed his rear is ablaze from a proper trashing with more indeed to come
-CalmingWaters- is currently idle.
Seaking knowledge is a quite the lofty but respectable goal I will admit but there is such a thing as too much knowledge as you are to find out.
call me a dullard as you have but you will be driven mad by all the knowledge you wish for ,much like big hat Logan was driven mad in his quest of knowledge so to will you share that fate you Cur enjoy what little sanity you have left before we drive you to be a raving as a madman does.
the most annoying songs in the world
OKAY! Who wants to get into a stupid argument about nothing in particular? Everyone's welcome!
8458509
oh ponygood i'd L.O.V.E. to hear about butt the cloud
8458524
Ahh, well let me oblige!
Butt the Cloud is a stupid, traitorous God-cloud! He may have been hailed as our Lord and Saviour, God of Being Annoying and Useless once, but that was RUINED! when it was revealed he worked part time as a (shudders) USEFUL companion to some elf-kid!
So we made a new god, being our Lord and Saviour Ass the Cloud, God of Not Being Butt the Cloud, but it turns out HE WAS A TRAITOR TOO! So we abandoned him as well, and had to come up with a new butt-named cloud god, and we came up with our Lord and Saviour Buttocks the Cloud, God of Being Nothing Except Buttocks the Cloud, but it turns out HE WAS TRAITOROUS TOO!
There was no other choice. We had to have a god to worship, but with all the butt-named cloud gods being stupid and false, we had to do something else. Eventually, we settled on one option, ONE potential god that would be completely trustworthy.
Thus, we began worship of our Lord and Saviour Sparkle-Butt the Honorary Cloud, Goddess of Dealing With Our Insane Internet Drivel, in the wonderful, totally legitimate religion of Annoying and Useless 4.0.
8458509
Wish to get into a disagreement about universal mind links or so my compatriot? Or how about how none can escape the long march of the madness we bring and start to bet when the Cur has gone mad ?
The entire Bee Movie Transcript. Copying it directly is a bit wonky, but here's a video of some guy screaming it!
8458540
Universal mind-links don't exist, you're just some guy pretending to be a crazy sun-lunatic.
8458551
False ,my cloud cult friend this has to work as some form of mind link they are hearing this in there head some how .
Ah but my friend i truest am warrior of the sun truest in hope it’s light shines upon us all .
8458560
The Eye of Rhyme is able to recieve the messages we write and display them in the wearer's mind. Ancient magi-technology, dude!
You are not a true sunbro. You are poop. Poopity poop poop.
Guys! Guys! I just had a very Scary thought. What if Lore thirst is already mad and insane.
Then all of the this would be pointless.
Please
Help us Sparkle-butt. Make this guy sane so we may drive him to utter madness.
8458567
I am a true brother in arms of my order, but truely it is a mind link then they get the link to the eyes holder within the skull so it must be a mind link
The cloud shall vanish when it has emptied it self if it’s random rain then the Sun shall shine once more .
Oh hey, Twilence, if you can hear this, GM has revealed 19 different endings we could get. They are: Pristine, Bittersweet, Warmonger, Dethroned, Steam, Rebuilder, Forgotten, Singularity, Adrift, Coward, Earned, Tattletale, Lattice, Supernova, Predetermined, Insanity, Servant, Grimdark, and Hacker. That's all I know about them.
EDIT: Pinkie could find this information useful, too.
8458589
Ah, but Twilence isn't a cloud. She's an honorary cloud, sure, but she's still an alicorn. And you are not a true sunbro, just some guy acting as one.
8458596
Ha truely I am on my quest to rekindle the first flame so the undead curse may go away , so cloud is a honor title to Her this cloud is quite odd indeed but I pass no judgment for if I did then it makes me no better who call me mad .
8458615
...you're boring. Your face is boring. your mom's face is boring. FAAAAAAAAAAACE!
8458576
There is such a thing as digging too deep so to say he may be a bit tout he’d by madness but we can make it worse.
8458621
Haha truely my friend keep thanking so for I know that would please you to do so.
i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/724/016/ee1.gif
if the options presented are choices i'd try for rebuilder or earned, pinkie i'm saying that to you since i don't think twilight is gonna see this right now and it might be important, now back to important sanity breaking
so lore, did it ever occur to you that the eye is connected to a bunch of mentally unhinged writers and creators who very much dislike you? thats the case and as you can already tell we can get quite entertaining, at least to ourselves, we don't exactly get much perspective on how much suffering our victims get and the last one was mostly accidental, too bad for you because knowledge always has a price and you won't necessarily get what you are looking for.
as long as we're using memes
edit - that's the meme lord sing along, not just a bunch of memes put together just in case there was some confusion
8458736
Indeed like big hat Logan who had seaked as much knowledge and was driven mad by what he had found .
I just noticed that you skipped chapter 38, GM. It skips directly from 37 to 39.
Wait a moment lore do you know of my order ?because the way you said I was A stupid Sunbro implying you have some knowledge on my order.
I think it is meant to! Something sounds fishy here. Also I like fish and I think lore turd likes sleeping with the fishes and have them swim in all parts of her body.
You should realize by this point that your desire for help isn't something we are responding well to.
However, I have always tried to be a bit more refined than my compatriots; reveling in chaos is not something I am want to do. No, I have another angle for this. You see, Lore Thirst, such a voracious, all-consuming hunger for knowledge has led many to a bitter end. To see you, who I find myself despising so in this very instant, so willing to give into that desire has me...
Replete with Obscene Joy
I've been keeping myself to myself, out of a fondness for the purple Alicorn you have caused such harm. But I think I would love to get to know you.
You have a choice now, Lore Thirst. Draw near, sate your hunger, and we will break you. We are above and beyond you, and your eyes shall bleed at the sight of us.
And you shall know no respite. And I shall delight in your suffering,
Or, you restore the Eye of Rhyme to Twilence, and be free of us. It's your choice.
8458524
Good on ya, Wizard. Hey, Lore, have some free EXP. On second thought, Your L.O.V.E. is already to high.
Lore, there is a place, very close to the story you 'exist' in, that is absolutely FILLED with all sorts of written porn, like that of which Pony good spoke of. Thou art worth Nothing.
8458401
Ooh! Creepypastas. Who wants to post a reading of 'Cupcakes' here?
8458381
Yep. Twilence wasn't doing so well in the sanity category, and we were actively trying to KEEP her sane. I would wish upon you luck, but thou should never had the chance that others gave thee.
Lore Thirst, go fuck yourself, you idiotic, bullshit filled, worthless bastard.
8460463
and here i was beginning to think i was the only undertale fan here
8460463
Nah, I think we've terrorized him enough. But when the next chapter releases, and he doesn't get his shit together, I'll gladly share with him some Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory, Slenderman, etc. stuff.
You feel a sudden urge to punch yourself hard in the face. And after you've done that, you feel like listening to what the Influence has said and returning the Eye to Twilence.
You feel like aggressively punching yourself in the face. Then, you decide the Eye is not for you, and you return it to Twilence.
you feel the urge to punch yourself in the face so strong that you follow through with it. Afterwards you feel the ultimate shame that you did this to Twilight and return the eye no matter how much it hurts to remove it from yourself back to Twilight.
suddenly punching yourself in the face seems like a good idea, and giving the back the eye to Twilence before "you" get any more brilliant ideas
