    You created the Fun-Schmorp, a floating spire with pale leathery flesh like usual, but it has multiple orifices which open up to reveal colourful fleshy insides capable of housing many, lit up by glowing cysts on the ceiling, and strange large organs with feelers capable of plugging into willing creatures and allowing them to go through the fun simulations within

    It is a biomechanical arcade, and Sadsack is probably gonna cry when they find out you played all the games and got high scores without them to cheer you on

    The Fun-Schmorp
    - Made and owned by Fabba
    - Floating spire with pale leathery skin and a large orifice on the front, said orifice will open to reveal its colourful insides and allow things in
    - Inside it is a collection of colourful organs with feelers acting as ways to plug into the various simulations inside each organ, like BLIK-BLAK, Smip The Zoin, and Puffle (My personal favorite)
    - Lit up inside by glowing cysts

    Meanwhile Sadsack reported back from their mission, propelling themselves through the void with expulsions of stimulator gas and returning with some small handfuls of crystals

    "Boohoo boohoo, dear creator, I have returned after analyzing the mineral" They said, raising their hands into the air, carefully grasping the microscopic gems, small amounts of it slipping through the gaps between fingers since the handfuls were akin to sparkly sand
    You prepare to save the information in a mental folder "Okay, anything of note?"
    "Boohoo boohoo, I believe this material could be potentially useful for entertainment purposes, they're capable of reflecting light but when I look deeper into a pile of them, despite being clear I never see my hand behind them, simply angles that make me wanna cry harder from how painful they are to perceive"
    "Hhhmm, maybe they reflect higher dimensions, or it's a form of complex distortion, whatever the case, thank you Sadsack"
    "Boohoo boohoo, I live to serve you master"
    "Go play in the Schmorp as your reward"

    Sadsack charged towards the station as you had a mouth swallow the collected crystals for potential later usage

    Vortium
    - A type of crystal that warps things seen through it to the point of hurting your head when perceiving it

    Vortium Stash
    - 2 handfuls of the stuff is in your possession

    It failed, you were not as good with crystals you barely understand as you thought, and... apparently you made a baby Modulon? It was a 1 in 10 billion fluke, but somehow, you did it, you made a baby Modulon from some crystals, half of it was smooth while the other was a jagged non-euclidean crystal mass with the angles all relfecting beams of light onto eachother
    You'd be proud if it that thing wasn't a nightmare to deal with

    "PROGENITOR I REQUIRE NUTRIENTS" They kept on attacking you with flashes of higher dimensions reflected from within them, causing some mental damage, and also somehow 100 dimensional lasers?
    "You're made of crystal, I am completely incapable of doing that! What would I even feed you with?!"
    "I REQUIRE NUUTRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTS!!!"

    Your child flew off screaming that, off to cause havoc in the Void
    You at least learnt what Vortium actually does

    X Vortium Stash

    Vortium
    X - A type of crystal that warps things seen through it to the point of hurting your head when perceiving it
    - A type of crystal that sends light into higher, difficult to perceive dimensions

    Conversion Of Light To Higher Dimensions
    - A small baby Modulon, half of it is smooth while the other is a jagged non-euclidean mess reflecting with the angles reflecting beams of light onto eachother, look too closely into the smooth side and you'll see harmful to perceive higher dimensions
    - Can convert light from 3d to 4d to 5d to 6d to 7d to 8d to 9d to far more, it's weird and highly specific but you'd be surprised at how effectively this guy can wield it
    - REQUIRES NUTRIENTS but won't elaborate on it

    Then Sadsack walked over "I cried all over the Vortex master, boohoo boohoo"
    "Great, anything interesting?"
    "No, boohoo"
    "Bu-"
    "Boohoo boohoo, I just cried and now there is some liquids in the Vortex"
    ".... Probably should've expected that"

    • You send out pulse of psychic stimulation as easily as lifting a tongue, wait a couple moments, and something manages to show up, it is a humanoid made of a black metallic substance, a soft colourful sheen across their musculature
    Floating in the palm of their outstretched hand was seemingly a flower from a common type of world you destroyed back in the good ol days, Earth

    It seems to be a combination of many different flowers, you recognized it slightly from data of valentines day episodes in sitcoms and flowershop scenes from a variety of mediums, also monologues of botanist characters from a couple billion different novels

    "It seems you still live Entertainer"
    "Do I know you?"
    "My current form is one I decided to take to relate to my current wards, you would know me as Preservation Of Fragile Objects"
    "Oh yeah! You kept us lower ranking Modulons during that one encounter with an Omega-Level civilization"
    "First time Korokovix almost lost a finger"
    "So you trying a little bit of that arms and legs look? I can respect that, what you doing these days?"
    "I have become the guardian of a developing civilization, currently acting as god-king/queen for now but I'm planning to go for a democratic government, I know that letting sapient beings make their own choices eventually leads to the destruction of all order, but I just couldn't bare keeping them in a Totalitarian regime for longer then a century, just hurts my nonexistent heart to hear those little things cry"
    "Damn! I now feel stupid, I'm just setting up an arcade and trying to attract visitors"
    "Ooo~ Interesting, I can point this place out for my people if you desire, couple ships could sail in sith potential customers"
    "Depends, what kinda form do these guys got? Organic? Synthetic? Mineral? You gotta tell me if their brains are pools of liquid info or psychic clouds"
    "Basic organic matter, black carapaces, they wear geometric shapes made of colourful triangles, don't have a problem with overstimulation"
    "Okay send them over if you want"

    Preservation Of Fragile Objects
    - A small Modulon appearing like a humanoid made of a black metal with a rainbow coloured sheen, well built and holding a floating mutant flower above the palm of their hand at all times
    - Specific purpose is the effective protection of targets that were considered fragile, making sure they were not harmed in the process of being guarded, good at stopping a hit and making sure the one protected will barely even notice an attack was coming their way
    - Looks out for the weak out of habit
    - God king/queen of a civilization of Entities they became attached to, reallt wants to keep them safe, they're collectively a pet to them

    That deal has been made, now it's time to see how Sadsack has been doing
    Success D13 rolled a 13

    CRIT!!!

    Sadsack had done laps around the Fun-Schmorp, piled up multiple game organs inside the station and lifted them all as weights, then they did squats, parkour training, what I'm trying to say is that Sadsack went above and beyond
    And the result was that they look like they were a statue of a strange greek god, their muscles were defined, every ounce of strength was earned and clearly visible, Sadsack leapt forward, causing a small shockwave, and stopped their momentum right in front of you by releasing some stimulator fumes

    "Boohoo boohoo, I have done it master"
    Every jaw you have was wide open in shock
    "Master? Are you okay? Boohoo boohoo"
    "I- I- I'm proud I guess? Fantastic job, probably gonna have to worry about people hitting on you now"
    "Do not worry, I can hit them back, boohoo boohoo"
    "...."

    Sadsack

    • You're gonna be honest, when someone says Gamer with a hard R, you get offended
    They dare just spout it, something that belongs to your people, taken and beaten into your psyche to no longer be a simple moniker, but an INSULT, to be considered wrong for the way you are, to be considered wrong for enjoying small artificially made challenges for the sake of stimulation
    That word will be reclaimed today! AND YOU WILL FUCKING LAUGH!

    You performed the Xblyemy Maneuver, Vlifgging some Zoinks with such speed and intensity the bio-game started heating up, with Sadsack cheering you on as their in game avatar which was a weasel covered in Spooples
    The bio-game was mainly designed with terminology and inspiration from a world destroyed long ago by, you guessed it, Korokovix, you then felt a poke, unplugged along with Sadsack, then the both of you greeted Preservation Of Fragile Objects' people

    The Vips, riding on hoop shaped ships propelled by what seems to be using thrusters simply ejecting pure force, glowing purple when releasing bursting spheres that push against the universe
    A vip transmission came from the ship "Are you gonna eat us?"
    ".... are you tasty?"



    After 3 minutes of silence "No"
    "Then don't worry, your god king/queen has suggested this place, have they not? Come and play!"
    "I- I guess"

    Soon the small group of Vips connected their landing platform to the entrance of the Fun-Schmorp, and as they exited you saw them in the flesh, they were crustaceans with black carapaces, heads with spiked shells, large glassy eyes, humanoid, with segmented clawed hands, like someone grabbed some regular crab claws and split them apart into a 4-fingered hand

    They wore geometric shapes made of colourful triangles, as was mentioned last time, it just covered their torso, the arms and legs were bare
    Anyway they were welcomed in by Sadsack and started gaming, they were really enjoying it too, probably never experienced entertainment THIS stimulating of course
    Pretty sure one of them just experienced a form of orgasm and collapsed from a highly refined alien iteration of whack-a-mole

    It was a success, and as Vortex Rotations passed (Your new favourite form of time measurement) more Vips came in, this place now had regular visitors, not many, but some

    The Vips
    - A species of humanoid crustaceans with black carapaces, their hands are like crab-claws segmented into 4 fingered hands, the shells on their heads are spiky, acting like hair
    - Have large glassy eyes coloured with different shades of black like marbles
    - Like wearing geometric shapes made of colourful triangles around their torsos

    Choose your next course of action

    [] Try to go explore a new random area

    [] Go visit the home of the Vips

    [] Create a swarm of new basic entertainment drones

    - [] Sadsack: Accompany and assist Fabba with their task

    - [] Sadsack: Go to some far off area to collect interesting materials for your master

    - [] Sadsack: Explain to Vips how cool your master is

    By the way, if you guys desire it, I can do rumour mill style things to show you what vaguely is going on now that you have a connection to an Entity civilization, they might know some gossip

    Rumour Mill 1
  • Sidestory
    • You hear little whispers of what may be going on out in the Void, limited rumours, but some info is still better than none, unless it's an info-hazard

    1st Rumour
    You hear that there is this Area called the Stripe Cluster, which appears to be a large bundle of floating matter and flat yellow squares with black stripes floating around, it appears that these things can accelerate the speed of whatever comes in contact with them, and some drones serving a unknown Modulon have been fortifying it into a battle station, planning to utilize the Stripe-Squares as VERY powerful cannons for some kinda special conflict

    2nd Rumour
    You hear that a giant ocular organ made of strange pink and yellow energy with tear ducts is crying a literal ocean of strange colourful fish, a strange but beautiful looking ecosystem, probably not a Modulon cause it's nowhere near as big as the usual spherical types, but it might be leftover by one

    3rd Rumour
    You hear that a group called the Crysto Gang, sapient entities with shells made of crystals, have begun raiding a ton of settlements along the Gerfallan Ice Line, using their abilities to manifest large structures made of crystals to easily tear apart fortifications and people

    4th Rumour
    You hear that an entity wearing a weaponised bio-suit with psychic implants has been going around stopping morally reprehensible beings via violent means, using purple psychic fire and 32 layer thick artificial muscle to deal with villains
    They modeled themselves in a surprisingly similar manner to superhero comics, and even have the alias "The Zizoctinator"

    5th Rumour
    You hear that Accele-Sect Tech has advanced to new heights among the Guuvar and now they have living motorcycles that can jump like grasshoppers, and also look like grasshoppers
    Apparently that all means something and isn't all just complete nonsense, since a Vip showed you an actual photo from the Guuvar newspapyrus
