14, actually. Tucker's 14.
Not exactly making it better...
all communication with parts of my mind ceased.
Wait, so Poe actually had communication with his mind at first?! Wow. I had not seen that coming...
He had his chance, let natural selection do its thing!
Unfortunately, Natural Selection is only a suggestion to Poe. If it wasn't then he wouldn't have gotten past the fist few chapters.
Music of your choosing is welcome.
Why thank you. I think i'll go with my playlist on Spotify. Well, i did that halfway in the chapter. The first half was a playlist on Youtube.
"And you didn't," Medusa said, "You dug a hole and tried to escape." She was silent for a moment. The fire crackled as smoke drifted upwards. "As a creature of habit, it only makes sense that you would fall into doing what feels comfortable. But you will enter fights where what you've usually done won't work."
Man, Poe. Your Soul and it's occupants are saying you're being stupid... That's tough.
"That's not fair, though…" I murmured, "That's not fair.
Life isn't fair :/
"I don't know how!" I protested, "It's too much!"
Well, this could be a real problem. It's easier to use an ability you've practiced a hundred times, than using a hundred abilities you've practiced once
Arms around my body suddenly made my breath hitch. What was this? What the hell was this? I heard Medusa speak. "You're not." She said to me.
Yes! The Ship is setting Sail! All aboard the R.R Medusa! You know, because ships are normally called The S.S. 'something'
We stood there for a good minute. Eventually, I heard not-Anubis cough, "The hugging…" he trailed, "You can stop any time." Medusa inhaled slightly before stepping away from me, turning around, and walking back to her seat. I couldn't help but notice she seemed a little flushed…
Yeeesssss.....
Meh, it probably wasn't all that important.
Oh, but it is, Poe! It's important to all of us!
"So I lost my fingers to frostbite."
I kinda want to just groan at that pun, but it was honestly a bit funny
One Foot on the Platform
OR: One Foot on the Train
End-138
Ah! I loved this chapter! The whole Spirit meeting was amazing!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I listened to this song for this chapter.
Huh. What a coincidence. It starting playing when i reached the campfire scene.
Well! I Wish you'll Double Dare me! Hah! Take that, you Ars!
Uh, Poe R.R. Acti, my friends call me "Ars"
No. Medusa calls you Ars. Well... She is getting... Friendly with you.
Ah, that was right, wasn't it? The Infinity Map was a semi-sentient construct capable of taking people anywhere it wanted them to go
So, like a TARDIS? Just more... Handy?
My eye twitched. "S-So… So if I ask nicely for the map again–"
"No."
"Of course."
It doesn't hurt to try
Well, they do seem like nice people. If you look past the whole, "Having a 14 year old friend who's killed 2 people"
"Your heart's desire is my command… Wait, no, stop!"
Huh? Who's this?
"…Okay, this is new…" my voice faded as I acknowledged my predicament. There was a pop of energy behind me as something appeared. I inhaled, turned, and felt words fail me as I looked at who brought me here, "What." This was impossible. When did I even encounter this chick? How was she here? "…Desiree?"
Ooh. Huh. That's weird
Oh, so basically I got a spiteful genie in my soul… how fun…
Like a less dickish Jafar
And, yes, this includes Desiree.
How would you kill a ghost? Aren't they already dead
Feed her to Medusa. Because better the devil girl you know and will help you when in her interest, then the one who's just a sack of shit.
Yes. Then she can build up a
Harem All-Female Spirit army Minions Minions? Companions!
I saw the newest Mad Max. So many flaming cars... It was glorious.
Speaking of... You never gave me my flaming Vans!
I've never had a friend like you!
Heh, man, i want to see that movie again.
For a moment, he just sat there as I got up and swung my legs around over the side of the slab of oddly comfortable ice. He reached out a hand to help me steady myself as I swayed, dizzy from my reintroduction to the world. "You seem bothered by something." He said to me. What, aside from my nausea? Well, he wasn't wrong to be worried…
I like Frostbite. He seems nice.
"We have food," he offered, "And drinks." My eye blinked slowly.
"You know what–" my stomach growled, "That sounds like a good idea."
That's gonna cost you a lot of food. A lot.
HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY!
Have i already used that one in this story? I feel like i have.
"And you feel that the Ultimate Eye can puppet a simulation of your exact self in a non-risk environment, over and over again with the most difficult permutation of this Foundation's castle? It… could be done…" I wouldn't be overloading the eye, either. The Ultimate Eye could only overload itself while it was being used on the real world around me. The world of my mind, in that dream-like place, however… that was a different story.
So, basically, you're cheating in you cheatworld?
Shame on you! Never invoke Murphy's Law!
Well, the long and short of it was that I was me no matter who I was – uh, simulated or not, I thought therefore I existed and, further, therefore I was certainly me, myself, and I. So, effectively, I was in two places at once. One me was outside, walking around a dark and dangerous ship, while internal me was fighting the most difficult to penetrate castle in existence.
That doesn't seem all that smart, when walking around in an SCP
Medusa spoke to me again, "So he didn't know." She said, "Fine. Ask someone else."
I kinda feel like Medusa is just fucking with Poe, right now
"Wake up you lazy fuck!" I snapped, smacking the side of my head
Did he just slap himself because he did something he didn't want himself to do?
Manned cannons all along the outer walls launched grapeshot at me
EAT YO FRUITS! THEY TASTE FUCKING
GRAPE
I was fairly sure that the latter effect was at least partly nullified.
Woo, his stupidly ridiculous power comes back and isn't bad!
So I raised my hands…
[[SOUL RESONANCE!!]]
…and I conducted.
Oh, i got chills running all over me
Did someone say Steam Engine Symphony?
Wait, what? We have a national Orchestra? Huh. I didn't know that. Well, of course we do!
I hope so, otherwise this would be just embarrassing.
Well... It is very embarrassing anyway...
