Ahhh, that was it. Russianlime and Perry. They didn't last very long at all. They didn't have the power. It all comes back to power. Keep it hidden, gathering energy slowly, then release it all in a devastating eruption, when nobody suspects that you, of all people, could possibly be significant. You, of all people, the one whom everyone teases because there's a joke about a law that says plans fail and then nobody takes you seriously and nobody believes you truly have power and everyone just glances at him and shrugs him away because who is he? Just some hotheaded, stubborn, robloxian with lava for blood and rocks for brains and he has no POWER, no power to fuel his eruption, his rise to greatness, his victory.
His inevitable, impossible victory. |

And what of that? Who cares about his rants, his "I will rule the world" act? Nobody cares. Nobody cares because his rants and acts are just that, rants and acts. There's no power behind those acts and rants, and people want to see POWER. They want to see words with weight! Power supplies that weight! Power is all it takes!
But what does it take to get power? |

I wait for Hint next to my Cauldron and the now-melting block of Murph², when I hear a hauntingly smooth voice come from the Mansion.
"Connnnnnnnnerrrrrrrr" It's long out drawl of my name is, intriguing, to say the least. Like something wants me to move closer. But, no. I won't go near that horrible house, after seeing what it did to a living thing as Murph, hell, what would it do to something like me? 'Is there an Afterlife, after the Afterlife?' I start to question as I slip into a state of existentialism
"Connnnnnnnnerrrrrrrr"
"Well, what would going a few feet closer do- oh, dear Mythrans..." were my final words before I was grabbed by a could other ghosts and was forcefully dragged into the Mansion. Clawing my way unsuccessfully into the floor as I was dragged into the walls, I'm sure the last thing anyone could see was my frightened face before I disappeared into the mansion
As the doors closed once again... |
|
|
What does it take? It takes a determined, merciless heart. It takes the mind of a volcano, willing to bide his time until an unexpected strike will cause the most damage to those around him. His erupted lava will harden around him, allowing nothing to grow near or on him.
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
I cannot let anything grow close to me. |
|
|
And it all comes back to working together. Teamwork, friendship, all useless and temporary in the end. In a struggle for the top, who succeeds? The one who relies on friends, the one who uses others to his advantage(in other words, he relies on his enemies), or the one who relies on no-one and nothing?
It's all about the POWER!! The strength to ERUPT!
But the waiting is fun too, watching all that goes on around you, observing what is built up, waiting for the day when it all comes crashing down because you, I, bided my time.
Bided my time, waiting and sleeping..
Sleep... |
|
|
(Wow Murph, that was deep....Like....Obsidian, no pun intended...) |
|
|
(@conner Ikr?)
I stood up and brushed some dust off my pants before muttering to myself "Thank god there was no fall damage". Then I stormed out of the library before some grumps could get to me.

(Ok, well, I guess I have to post now.
Le sigh....)
HintCore came walking back from the grocery store, holding numerous bags. "I figured that I'd stop by the bakery as well, seeing that Murph is a little occupied at the moment," he said to no one in particular. He then noticed Conner's stuff and wondered where he'd gone. |
|
|
Sleeping....
A sleeping volcano is also dangerous to itself. For when nobody expects it, the world can change below, a shift in continents, an earthquake. The well of magma built up deep inside is cut off, and the volcano dies.
A fatal rest...unable to come to power, for he let the opportunity pass him by.
But the thought of shutting yourself, myself, out of the world, only to bring myself back when I wish to, the process feels so....tempting..and now that I think it..
....I do feel very tired....
And cold..but not the icy, unwelcome cold that we are being threatened by. But the refreshing, beckoning coolness of...of...sleep....
Sleep.........
Despite the ice beginning to give away around him, the lava in Murph's veins creak to a stop, hardening into obsidian. The fire in his eyes extinguishes, and overall he turns into a statue of rock and obsidian. His mind keeps its previous temperature for the most part, and only loses a small amount of brain activity. The ice finally frees Murph, and he hits the ground with a deep thud. The second Murph has already retreated into the staff, and the staff dissolves, flowing into Murph until it is gone and the only thing left is a grey and black Murph lying back-down on the ground.
Now I wait. Wait for the chance to erupt.z |

(gah.. almost forgot about this roleplay.)
Subata looks at the mansion.. "hmm.. wonder who lives there or used to live there." |
|
|
The blue icefire slowly glows brighter and grows bigger. Murph's volcano has become so overgrown with ice that the rock of the mountain itself is no longer visible. Crystals continue to grow off of the bizarre structure resting within the crater. Clouds are slowly forming, beginning to block out the sun in that area. One arc of lightning strikes the ice. |

Conner looked around the area his 'brethren' dragged him to. Well, he tried to. if the only light came from tiny little candles that lined room.
"Well, well. If it isn't the little friend to that half-crazed Robot on the Train..." A voice said from the other end. The entire room lit up in a sickly shade of green. The room reveals itself to be rectangular in shape with a circular rotunda with a table on the other end of where Conner was.
"And you would be....?" Conner asks as he glances over the shelves on the walls. Every last one was cluttered with various spell making and Magickas. On the other end of the room, in the Rotunda was a female Robloxian in a business suit
"Chrysalis. Charmed, I am, to finally meet one of those going against Alice" She says as she walks toward Conner
"Who?"
"The Frost Queen, you Half-dea- oh, that's right, you're dead, insults don't work on you..." She said
"And that means...?" Conner intrudes, curious
"It means that unless you're treated, you may stay dead forever. You know of that, correct?" She responds, now only a few feet from Conner.
At Conner's' silence,she continues; "Of course you don't, Come. Let me see if your future holds the right cards" She says now actually pushing Conner's ghostly form closer to the table in the Rotunda
"Card reading? Aren't you, the owner for a big-time miner corp in Boomdodge, and now you're telling me that you read cards like a Gypsy?" Conner asks, now a bit suspicious
"It's more of a Hobby..."
(You guys are going to LOVE this next bit) |

This sleep...it is interesting. I can still think and feel and be aware of my surroundings, but I am unable to do much. Well, I should probably go scare Connor by floating into the mansion, lookiing like I've been turned to stone and killed. In fact, I should be let in, because physically speaking I did just die. Soo, can I move? Yea, slowly, but I sort of levitate. The mansion opens the door, welcoming a a departed soul. Did you expect this, Alice? Did you expect my cold way of dealing with things? I see Connor up ahead, float over, veeery slowly, then crash to the floor next to him, unmoving. Hehe. |

Chrysalis continues to push me toward the Rotunda, when we are finally at it, I notice that around the upper curved wall were ornate masks of all kinds lining it
"Come, come. Let me help you.." Chrysalis said to me as she continued to push my ghostly form. She spots a headstone with the name 'LittleMurph' and sighs 'I don't have time for you, you hotheaded little imp...' and with a flick of her wrist, a green portal opened up under Murph as he disappeared...
"Er...No thanks, I rather not have my fortune told by some Miner Gypsy.." I say to her as I try to walk away, but was stopped with her hand in my face and a scowl on hers
~A Friend on the Frozen Side~
(To the tune of 'Friends on the Other Side')
"Don't you disrespect me little man!
Don't you derogate or deride!
You're in my Home now
Not your home
And I got a friend on the frozen side!"
~She's got a friend on the frozen side...~
A mysterious voice says, somehow coming from the masks lining the walls of the room
"That's an echo, gentleman. Just a little something we have here in Bog Easy, a little parlor trick. Don't worry..."
She reassures to me as she forcefully pushes me to the table,
"Sit down at my table" She sits me down,
"Put your mind at ease
If you relax, it will enable me to do, anything I please
I can read your future
I can change it 'round some, too
I'll look deep into your heart and soul"
"I've never been one for souls, have you?" She remarks
"Make your wildest dreams come true!"
She then went over to a wall shelf filled with vials fill with...something, as she throws various items towards me
"I got voodoo" Throwing a Frost Queen doll with needles in her
"I got hoodoo" A snow white root
"I got things I ain't even tried!" A dark ornate box with a rather large padlock on it
"And I got a friend on the frozen side." Turning back to me with a sly smile
~She's got a friend on the frozen side!~
The 'Echo' repeats...
Chrysalis then comes to the table with a deck of tarot cards, shuffling them with a pro-like manner
"The cards, the cards, the cards will tell,
The past, the present, and the future as well" She then flips up different cards to my face with each word, showing cards with members of the Coven, Murph, Herself and two other Robloxians I've never seen before
"The cards, the cards, just take three
Take a little trip into your future with me!"
She pauses, eyes shut, as if she's trying to read something
"Now you, young you, are across the way
You come from two long lines of creativity" She says as my jaw hits the floor, I've never told anyone about myself, let alone her!
"Made this whole house with a quick think, neat huh?" She remarks again, trying to impress me
"Your idea's are high
But your attention's low
You need to jump-start that head in order to go" She says, bringing her head higher and lower as she told me of myself
"Not gettin' ideas at all, huh Overbuild?" She asks
"Now y'all gotta Roleplay, but writin' tires you down.
You just wanna be free.
Build from place to place."
"But building... takes time!" A slight evil grin comes upon her face
"It's the time, it's the time, it's the time you need
And when I looked into your future
You got the time that I see!"
"On the other hand, I don't want to waste much time.
You been a ghost for FAR too long..." She said, looking uninterested as she looks at her nails
"You been dead in the town, in the bog, and in my mansion." Counting off places as she went
"And if ye continued...
You'd be dead in Her castle..." She said with a slight worry in her voice
"But in your future, the you I see
Is exactly the way you always had to be!" And that evil grin's back
She gets up, and walks over to me,
"Shake my hand." She asks
"Come on, friend.
Won't you shake a poor banned hand?"
After thinking for a second, I reluctantly shake her hand...
"Yes..." A green magic envelopes me as I'm now unable to move
"Are you ready?"
~Are you ready?~ The Masks Echo..
"Are you ready?
Transformation central!" She says as her eyes flash to a sickly green,
~Transformation central!~
"Reformation central!" A blast of green light reveals Chrysalis in a beige robe with various magical remidies and items and holding a long staff with a robloxians skull on the end to my face, with a malicious grin on
~Reformation central!~
"Transmogrification central!
Can you feel it?" She asks as I can feel, something hard form onto my legs, and slowly climb it's way up, as more magical energy from the staff jump like electricity toward me
"You're changin'
You're changin'
You're changin', all right!" She says as more of my body turns to stone
"I hope you're satisfied
But if you ain't
Don't blame me" She says as she acts disgusted that someone would question her
"You can blame my friend on the Frozen side!"
~You got what you wanted!
But you gots what you get!~
"Hush..."
She finishes as I turn into a headstone with my frightened face as an ornamental decoration and fall soundly onto the rugged wooded floor. She looks over me with an unimpressed look, "Eh, it could of have gone better," She remarks before opening up a green portal and throwing me in, leaving me for dead in the Manor's graveyard...
(God, I had way too much fun writing this. You have no idea...)

Aw, dangit. Connor went and got himself turned to stone. I slowly drift off of the ground, hoping the voodoo lady doesn't see me, and I make by petrified(the stone-petrified, not the scared-petrified) way out the door, where I land with another dull thud next to Connor. Now if he could only be tricked into thinking I was transformed too... |
|
|
(headstone? I'm just a stone version, a "dormant" version of myself, not an actual grave..) |
|
|
(also, that little scene sort of made ME want to plan a musical number later in the story...) |
|
|
(Oh, god that makes all three of us.....)
(Oh, and I'm incapacitated until further notice, ya'know since I'm stone and all now...) |
|
|
I can't come out of dormancy this early, so there must be some way I can communicate with him. Telepathy? [Connor, I am trying to speak into your mind. Because I have the funny notion that rocks can talk to each other.] Nah, that's stupid. Umm...Maybe the robot can think of something to help Connor. |

(Heh, don't doubt MY gypsy magic.)
Hint sees Peacock coming back from the library, so he quickly gets it from him, grabs everything else, and somehow takes it all to a randomly abandoned kitchen. He can't help but notice that Murph has disappeared and Conner is still MIA. Hint decides to go looking for them. He finds them right infront of the mansion and notices that they've both been turned to stone. Great. "Well, I better take these two with me," he says, and proceeds to take them both to the kitchen.
"Well, now that everyone is here," he says, looking around the kitchen at Pea, Swedish, his two petrified partners, and everyone else, "let's open this portal!"
[Please note, this next scene uses the music from Pinkie's Brew.]
"I'll cook up a solution with the knowledge I've accrued~"
He starts flipping through the book until he comes upon the page he's looking for, throws the cauldron on the already heated stove, and starts mixing the ingredients for cinnamon bread.
"They say a stitch in time save nine, but that's not what we'll do~"
He then puts the cinnamon bread batter into the oven where it starts rising cartoonishly fast and puts vinegar in the cauldron (for marination) along with provolone cheese, a fig, and crude, canned stew (obviously out of the can).
"I've gathered the ingredients to make some space sorbet~"
He starts rapidly mixing the ingredients with a wooden spoon.
"Trust me after this your stomach will feel kinda spacious~"
He then takes the cinnamon bread out of the oven and drops it in the cauldron as well.
"Watch as I work my gypsy magic!~"
He pours the seapony tears into the cauldron.
"Eye of a newt and cinnamon!~"
He opens the jar of Isaac Newton eyes and drops them all in as well. It is common knowledge that Isaac Newton was actually a newt, therefore, these work excellently.
"Watch as the matter turns to batter!~"
He puts all of the chocolate icing in the mix and starts stirring it all furiously.
"Open the portal, jump in!~"
At this, the whole entire group is enveloped in a purple energy and disappears in a flash of light. |

(Is it just me or has everyone posted atleast one pony reference except me? Anywho I have no idea what to post.) |

(Also, Conner, Murph, the way I see it is that the energy from the portal undoes your petrification. So, if you wanna do that, be my guest.) |
|
|
(Once again, I'm in a "dormant" state, which is simply my way to gather power in a colder fashion. This is part of my efforts to break the "rules" of the game. So basically I'm in this form by choice, and I can still move, slightly. Also, I have yet to make a pony reference.)
I'm curious as to see the actual inside of a portal. So, in my dormancy, I speed up my perception of events, causing time to look like it's slowing down around me. The inside of a portal is very confusing, because what a portal does is to place two locations spacially adjacent to each other. So technically, I'm looking inside the infinitely small space between the two. Actually, it looks nothing special.
Well, better show Hint and the....candy freak....that I'm still ambulatory. When on the other side of the portal, I float off of the ground again. See? I'm perfectly fine. |
|
|
(Swedish, you and Murph are the only one's left....wait...when have I made a pon- oh, riiiiight....twice.....)
(I've been turned to a headstone by Gypsy magic combined with the ancient Magickas of Robloxia! Gypsy Magic can not simply be undone by Space Magicks! I'm gonna stay stone for a while. IN the meantime! I'll be playing the role of Chrysalis, the Gypsy)
(And because I want to:
One does not simply,
Undo Gypsy Magicks ) |
