people arrived in a class one by one.
brightwing was unable to state name, Andre had used a fake name, I showed up and pondered this too. It was confirmed that a sword in the classroom was real. People started picking roles while I said 'so like this is obviously a fiction story'. Roles continued being picked (Brightwing->Edgelord (Uchiha Itachi), Andre->Escapist(I don't know), Someone->Magical girl(I don't know)), with time limits being sort-of imposed on decision-making, and those with roles being made to choose a character to base their role on, transforming into said character and mimicking their power.
the scenario switched to an arena for more data, while, yes, the escapist escaped. the 'active' characters fought the stapler-spiders with conjured blades and walls of earth and flame, and suchlike- powers of scale. A greater spider arrived, and the fighting continued. Then, several things occurred in succession; the Escapist returned, Joe's writer also returned(so Joe stopped being inactive) and he selected the [Genre Savvy - Haruhi Suzumiya], a powerset theoretically of great scope and versatility. The spider was destroyed by the escapist before Joe could do anything in that regard, so Joe's first two reality-warping actions were 'reversing the physical aspect of his transformation' and 'helping one of the injured characters heal'. one character pointed out reality-warping could be 'overpowered', from which in-character Joe inferred that we were not, out of character, employing much rigor, and suggested rigor be employed, using himself as an example. Rigor proceeded to begin being employed roughly how in-character Joe suggested. Joe then prompted Brightwing, being the Edgelord, to act Chunni to gain power, which, after some goading, succeeded. After some conversation and things settled down a bit, Joe began creating training dummies to serve as the next non-conversation activity (while Andre, the Escapist read fiction on Joes phone and avoided things). Unexpectedly, these came to life, due either to the system's scenario-changing influence, or being misinterpreted, so Joe began leading them on a circular chase to buy time until other people returned to [active] status. Andre popped out of a trash can and started pelting Joe, so Joe ran towards the trash can so the dummies would attack him. Andre ducked back into the trash can, and soon escaped it with a box cutter. At this point, the Comic Relief, Mas Kot, appeared, and began serving as comic relief; having no clothes, wearing a trash bag, sitting on splinters, stubbing his toe, falling over, and so forth; as well as one non-self-injurious case where he picked out female underwear(?) from the set of offered replacement clothes by accident. The Training Dummies, at this point, had stopped chasing, probably because people were too busy conversing with Mas Kot to remember they existed. Joe helpfully provided a three-paragraph summary, a bit like this summary but briefer, in order to explain how he knew his reality-warping worked on living things; Mas tuned this out quickly. As a result of this summary and Andre's reasoning on the matter, Mas learned he was the Comic Relief and bemoaned his role; meanwhile, the Escapist, who disliked seeing Mas get hurt over and over, went to do other things offscreen where he would not see Mas getting hurt. Joe comforted Mas, stating a higher-level Comic Relief role would probably numb the pain and such. Mas cheered up somewhat at the prospect of improving things. Joe asked if Mas would like help improving things. Mas agreed. Joe picked Mas up and threw him into the mass of training dummies to power level Comic Relief. this worked very well. Joe then realised Mas had been asking him to advise the writers on other abilities for Mas to get, so he suggested damage reduction (exponentially stronger against grievously-harmful attacks) and worse luck of the slapstick-comic-relief-y variety (with improved other luck for each activation to compensate). Joe proceeded to create more dummies, and then litter the floor with rakes, which also "helped" Mas (who was angrily yelling in dismay and anger). Eventually, Joe started feeling actually bad for Mas, so he started uncreating the training dummies; this unexpectedly made the dummies attack him, so Joe ran away, climbed a wall using a handhold he warped into existence, and continued uncreating the dummies... Until Mas threw a rake at him, causing Joe to fall into the mass. It's unclear whether he landed in the mass, or was saved from doing so by the Escapist; regardless, the dummies in the mass didn't attack, instead pondering existentialism. Joe attempted to let them communicate by making a sand floor they could write in(nobody realised that was the point, I think). the Escapist gave a depressing speech. Mas gave an encouraging speech. as a result, the dummies somehow amalgamated into one huge sorta-dummy which could talk. communication with the dummy amalgamate were ignored, so Joe and the Escapist left the room, taking Mas (who had fallen unconscious due to some Comic Reliefing duties) with them. The amalgamate then also left the room, a bit later. Andre the Escapist suggested Joe was at fault for the training dummies, Joe argued 'no I wasn't something else interfered', this went back and forth a bit, Joe was unswayed. Joe then, at someone's sorta-suggestion (I'm not sure who), created a metallic version of the training-dummy-amalgamate, except with his mind, a radio, and no flaws, to track down the other one and make sure it wasn't developing into a big problem. Annnd this is roughly where we left off.
