Well, that just happened...
I think I have nothing to feel sorry for towards Yu, outside of participating in the quest. Odd given how my eldritch self was just around for his own amusement. (Helpful abomination)
I'll try to figure out something to say to them, someday soon.
And that's completely fine! Ya'lls are Eldritch Beings! Some of you might feel bad, others might be all '??? what just happened' others might be reveling in the chaos. Is all good. Keep being like that. You are above things like fate and emotions so 🤷
Just between you and me, Boss? It's a long con to make Yu start a cult with Sakura as its idol.
Besides that though, a lot of my reaction is Sakura doing generally adorable things in Yu's vicinity, causing Yu to react (which is of course adorable) leading to a feedbackchain that amuses me. I suppose Sakura giving emotional support, while Yu stops her from tripping into all kind of trouble also makes them a good pair.
Side note, but I figured that the "there is no choice" basically meant that no duh we're going to apologize, it's practically the only option and without another option we can't really make a choice.

[X][SPEAK] What a regrettable turn of events that occurred. I will not apologize for I did none of the things that led up to this, but as consultation prize, I'll think up of a gift to give you later. Actually, tell me what you want and I'll get it for you if possible. Maybe a stuffed animal platypus? Also, I am in glee that you see Platypuses as adorable like I do. Now where were those cards…*Looks around* Oh, there they are! Let's see here…*Shifts cards around* Ah! Alright, what are your dreams and aspirations? As long as it is not being a politician, I'm fine with almost anything as I trust in your decisions.
Thinking on things, I kinda want to talk to Yu about how In a way I helped manufacture his first power, and have been constantly working on new powers for them.
(Remembering how I somehow read ahead in the script for what kinds of power @ElenaIsCool was going to grant in the next threadmark after that one, this was just before Ride child towards your education.)
I've got a single new idea for a powerset, It's within the parasite tree.
After Yu gets the ground build of it.
Parent of a thousand young. (Do you enjoy children do you enjoy making them, worry not we as the united group of eldritch beings have granted your body the ability to generate a fluid that can spawn creatures.)

Very interesting idea.. But like all else, it depends if you all agree on it! The more votes, the higher chance of it happening. There's a reason why GRANT commands (and possibly future commands too) are more vote based than the riot that is the SPEAK commands; to prevent chaos. Both for me and the world lmao. Like imagine if GRANT was a Riot one too? Yu would be OP and extremely confused. Also ya'lls might actually break the world smh
[X] [SPEAK] Giving my fellows free rein to do what they want, occasionally leads to them saying whatever they please, unthinking of how other beings would feel about what's said. Then again, being what we are always comes with caveats. We're all quite mad, admittedly The Human proverb "absolute power corrupts absolutely" Fits all entities, only less with the hatred of all human life more, so it comes to giving us mental issues that might not be seen at first thought. I for example enjoy crafting powers that you might never get because saner beings stop me from granting them. Also, I helped build the probable next power that will reach you, It will hopefully be as helpful as the music power you already have. (Thanks E̸̫̩͂̃̍l̸͎͗͝ḛ̶̘̞͋n̷̼̭̋̈̕a̷̢̼͙̔̃I̴̬͍̰̎̈s̶͈̒c̶̠̓͘͜o̶̤̠͆̀̿ǒ̷̻̩͈͝ḷ̶̖̻͐͋). I am instead capable of having restraint when it comes to other things, but as always you should remember that my amusement was the only thing I came here for, a slight liking for your human mind is mostly an afterthought. So with that last part I think it is completely fine for you to hate all of us If you so please, after all we are the ones invading your body and soul, not the other way around. But for now I'll leave you to it while I take care of a dimension slowly stretching towards your home world, after all I can't have my entertainment disrupted by a realm composed off all consuming hunger. [A brief screech is heard, then the sound of something shattering, and then after this Yu only hears the pitter-patter of glass slowly vanishing.] I am the being that shatters worlds.
And I still don't feel like granting Yu my abominations name, hopefully they'll understand that as long as I get some kind of amusement from them, I will continue resting near their world.
So then thoughts fellows? too long? or something else?
And I still don't feel like granting Yu my abominations name, hopefully they'll understand that as long as I get some kind of amusement from them, I will continue resting near their world.
Isall good, Yu wouldn't mind much! Like I mentioned a while back, a bunch of you trusting Yu with your Abomination Names is a huge deal (At least for Edris Abs cuz Names = Power) and you're free to make your Abomination not do that
I wonder how Yu is going to feel after the next update, will be interesting though.
That moment when you're finally done reading a story of about 270k words, and you go well now what....
[X] [SPEAK] It would seem all my fellows are willing to apologize. It would best Yu if you were to set boundaries as soon as possible. My kind have difficulties understanding limits as it were. And if you were to define them clearly then you will find many of us abiding and even enforcing them. I would also like to apologize for not warning you clearly. It was cowardly of me and so now I will clarify what it is exactly that happened. They have been hijacking your hair.
[X][SPEAK] HI! ヾ(＾∇＾) Yu Im new around here my Kin seems to be amused watching you call me Fool Im not like the others that just destroy and erase realities Instead I like collecting knowledge, stories and many other things and travel realities to watch what happening But now I just want to chill

There has been no sound since we continued the tour. Sakura keeps giving me apologetic glances while Yumeko stares straight ahead, making me unable to see her face. Not that I need to anyways. The dissapointment that radiated off her earlier is enough proof of her mood.
[X][SPEAK](in a regretful voice) I am honestly regretful for the consequences of my question but the time here doesn't really always sync up properly with your world so I have no idea when my words will reach you.
'....'
[X][SPEAK](in an apologetic voice) As for why I asked you said question… well from our perspective you are essentially the 'Main Character' as such it is inevitable that my kin will start to try and steer you into getting romantically involved with someone and they have at least enough tact to do it only with people you would be attracted to. So if you said you prefer women they wouldn't push you into getting together with a man for example.
'I already said that I don't know. I never thought about that stuff anyways until you guys brought it up.'
[X][SPEAK] Again, I know you may not want to hear it right now but I'm honestly sorry. As a recompense and acknowledgement of my wrongdoing I acknowledge the existence of debt between me @AlphaOmega and Yu Parker, you can freely ask me for anything as long as you deem fit. And I do mean anything as long as the Boss okays it.
P.S. Don't worry about the sudden weird feeling in your soul it's just the debt binding me to you, it will force me to comply with the terms of the debt as stated earlier so I can't get out of it even if I wanted to.
I feel strange inside, other than already frustration at all of this and slow my steps as my brows furrow further
'I- what!?'
[GIVE] Forge a magical contract between @AlphaOmega and Yu Parker allowing Yu Parker to call on AlphaOmegas favour for as long as they see fit. AlphaOmega may only end the contract with the assent of Yu Parker. The assent can't be forced and needs to be freely given. The contract will force AlphaOmega to grant Yu Parkers wish as long as The Boss authorises the wish.
A glowing piece of paper suddenly appears on my hands, a contract written in cursive with some conviniently placed tape where the Eldritch's name should be. My signature is needed. But this only makes my frustration grow the more I read. Frowning, I rip the glowing paper into half and dump in in the trash can. Sakura doesn't seem to think it's weird and for once I'm grateful of the weirdness of this city. I might not be a lawyer or whatever but I know that contracts need the signature of the other party in order to be considered functional. Unless Eldritch bullshittery is somehow above that. Which I have like 50/50 thoughts it is
'I don't want you to owe me anything or to force you to do anything either! Just..'
I shake my head and walk faster
'...I don't want to talk about it. End the contract'
(Contract between @AlphaOmega and Yu Parker ended!)
[X] Speak - I am really sorry on behalf of my colleagues. I know we (but mostly that one guy) got excited and made you look bad in front of them and no small amount of apologies will make it up to you. So, I decided since I'm one of the few who sympathize with those who suffer social anxiety, I shall give you 3 "IOU's". These are really powerful and we don't just give them to anyone, so please use them wisely.
'Didn't you hear what- I don't want any of that! Keep your power acronyms and magic contracts and eldritch debts to yourselves! I don't want to talk about it, end of story'
[X] Give - 3 "IOU" which grants Yu the power to ask any requests (to @Kazuto Morimoto ) that doesn't break their reality/world.
(IOUs rejected)
I suddenly feel a hand squeezing mine and the sparkles close to said hand give it away. Sakura gives me a small smile and I take a deep breath. Right. Don't let the eldritch(es?) ruin everything. There's still..The rest of the day, right? This day feels like it's dragged weeks already, to be honest.
We start walking again with my pink haired companion humming a catchy tune as I decide to commit these halls to memory.
[X][SPEAK] That turn of events was very unfortunate. I'm sorry that happened, Yu. I'm not sure how much this helps, but I'm going to do my best to clear up this misunderstanding and get you into this club. They still need you to turn their number of members from a triangle to a square after all.
[X][SPEAK] Uh, hey Yu. @7Ejk here, so I saw what my siblings did. If it makes you feel better or something Idk, I won't give you powers or any gifts, seeing how we kinda messed up. Ok, now to wait for the others.
'....'
'...Thanks'
We arrive on a square-like dead end infront of four doors on each side with golden plaques that read: Faculty Room, Principal's Office, Janitor's Closet and Student Council Room.
"This is the Staff Section where all the staff usually is. Janitor's Closet is available for staff only. It's best if you don't poke your nose in there"
Yumeko's voice is stoic, like always. Not sure if that's a good thing. The fact that they kind of consider the student council as part of staff is..Weird? I guess the Student Council has more power than I thought..
"Wait, Yumeko-san! Does this mean that..You can go in there!?"
Yumeko gives Sakura a glance but doesn't answer.
"If you have any issues or queries, refer to us in the Student Council and we will take care of it. In the rare situation that we are unable to, we'll take it to the staff who in turn take it up to Principal-Sama"
Sakura narrows her eyes at Yumeko dodging the question but doesn't press it.
"Yeaah, the SC takes care of almost everything! You almost never need to go to the teachers! Which is pretty cool. Yay for student control by students, for students!"
Well atleast Sakura isn't complaining that they're tyrannical or something. Imagine if they were. Yumeko then turns to me and hands me her notepad, back to the page with the clubs.
"Boken Academy has an event that begins during the second week of school; the Club Showcase. Due to our vast array of clubs, we give the students one week to experience a day with five clubs of their choosing so that by next week when Club Showcase, you will have experienced clubs enough to know which one you will attend. Being part of the club is mandatory, hence why we use this week to weed out clubs without enough members and have students join one. You already have the Music Club on Friday, correct? Then you can choose one club for the Showcase each day of the week, participate in the activities so that by Monday morning, you should be an official member of whatever club you pick"
That makes sense. I look back at the notepad and all of the clubs in alphabetical order. Atleast, all of the As. I can only pick four to Showcase, huh..
"Ne, Yu-chan! It's not mandatory to attend, you know?~"
Sakura whispers in my ear a bit loudly. Yumeko's eye twitches and I smile a bit
"If you hinder your club's progress in being of use to our school then you'll play a part in it's disbandment"
Oh..
[X][SPEAK] Greetings, Young One. I offer you advice for dealing with social situations in good faith and sincerity. There is one to whom you may ask for help - dive into a natural body of water on the night of the new moon, and call out to the darkness in the deep, for all deep darknesses are one and the same. There you shall find the First and Last Wife, whom your fur-clad ancestors called the Eel Who Eats Hearts, whose knowledge of speech and rhetoric predates even the ancient Ziggurats of Akkadia. If this is undesirable for some reason, you may also practice self-affirmations and positive thinking.
'Hold on, I need to check my farm of fucks to see how many I can give. Oh would you look at that? It's barren'
[X][HIJACK] - A strand of hair - Wiggle hair in an apologetic manner before flailing in accordance with Yu's luck (The more luck the slower the flail)
Sakura gives me a look again and fails to not snicker. This time, I have a better idea of what's going on.
"It's the hair, isn't it?"
She nods and sparkles. I really hope you can see how unimpressed I am
Also somehow my that one strand is radiating 'I'm sorry' energy before flailing in a perfect balance between fast and slow. I wonder if it's too late to ask for a haircut. Would Dad let me? I really doubt he would
[X] [SPEAK] It would seem all my fellows are willing to apologize. It would best Yu if you were to set boundaries as soon as possible. My kind have difficulties understanding limits as it were. And if you were to define them clearly then you will find many of us abiding and even enforcing them. I would also like to apologize for not warning you clearly. It was cowardly of me and so now I will clarify what it is exactly that happened. They have been hijacking your hair.
'Yep, just figured that one out..'
I let out a huff
'We'll talk about boundaries later, when I don't have to split my brain to focus on you guys amd the real world'
[X][SPEAK] Sorry i guess All i did was mess with your hair
'Uh huh. What part of boundaries do you not get? Is it a new concept for you? I'll look for an Eldritch-Human dictionary then'
[X] Event - A mysterious wind blows creating a dramatic flare such as a flowing cloak suddenly arrived.
(Command Failed. Reason: Unavailable Command)
We get to a place with three doors with signs I quickly recognize
"These are the bathrooms; Left is for female-identifying people, right is for male-identifying people and the centre is for those who don't identify with either. Or both. Depends."
Oh good, I thought I'd have to face a crisis everytime I wanted to pee over which bathroom to go to.
[X][SPEAK] What a regrettable turn of events that occurred. I will not apologize for I did none of the things that led up to this, but as consultation prize, I'll think up of a gift to give you later. Actually, tell me what you want and I'll get it for you if possible. Maybe a stuffed animal platypus? Also, I am in glee that you see Platypuses as adorable like I do. Now where were those cards…*Looks around* Oh, there they are! Let's see here…*Shifts cards around* Ah! Alright, what are your dreams and aspirations? As long as it is not being a politician, I'm fine with almost anything as I trust in your decisions.
'Haven't decided yet. Maybe being a doctor like my dad? I don't know'
[X][SPEAK] I'm new here but seems you're not on a great headspace. So I'll just take a seat and sit on a corner.
'That's the second-best course of action you guys have ever-'
Before I leave though can I ask if you can distinguish the voices on your head? If not you can distinguish mine with a radio static at the end.
-radio static-
'...Nevermind. I can do that. Dunno how but I can. Yours already had the static but glad to know'

'I don't..Hate you. I keep forgetting you guys are on vacation. Why do I even bother..'
Trying to explain how I feel to beings who don't understand emotion is a lost cause. I push the issue to the back of my head once we begin to move again.
[X][SPEAK] HI! ヾ(＾∇＾) Yu Im new around here my Kin seems to be amused watching you call me Fool Im not like the others that just destroy and erase realities Instead I like collecting knowledge, stories and many other things and travel realities to watch what happening But now I just want to chill

'....How many of you are there? Also good to know you're not a..Reality-eraser'
AlphaOmega's one-off comment about erasing this reality out of embarrasment flashes over my brain before I shake it off.
And enjoy watching your life so enjoy high school your not young forever if your not an all power entity that is

'Yeah you guys already granted me that. Something about you being in vacation. But I assure you, I won't need it anytime soon'
The closer we get to this place, the more excited Sakura seems to be as the sparkles triplify and the stars on her eyes have their own stars. Eventually, she grabs my hand and runs me to a large double door with many voices on the other side.
"This is where all the fun is!"
She sends me a shining grin before pushing the doors wide open. The sights that greet me are..Something else. Teenagers everywhere, some older, some around my age, standing, sitting, floating (that's weird) and doing all sorts of things. Some are talking to eachother, others are having some sort of confrontation with a lot of romantic tension, some are playing a DnD-like game but their figurines are alive and their actions are flashy. There is a small crowd surrounding two people being way too intense over a card game and I spot the Megane and Kako glaring at them (Mostly Megane. Kako has the same look from before) from a few tables away. There's also another crowd surrounding a boy my age being confronted by a guy who looks like a ripped middle-aged delinquent with an insane-looking pompadour. Looks like it's going to be a fight..
"Welcome to the cafeteria, Yu-chan!"
What to check out?
