New Beginning 22: Once Upon a New Beginning...

[Zaleramancer]

A glowing green doorway opens up near the group.

"Wulf. I suppose this is your fault somehow."

A figure emerges from the doorway.

Short, slim and dressed in a slightly iridescent green robe was the vaguely amphibian and very annoyed looking young man. Hairless and huge eyed, with wiggling tentacles for hair, he glared defensively at Wulf.

"I've been damn near lobotomized. Half my brain is playing chess in thirty-seven dimensions while the other is debating if cats are the most adorable thing to exist." He said, "I can't even access my normal body because It's on the plane of Celestial Spheres and my portal network doesn't have the energy to reach that by itself. So I'm stuck with this Neptunian shell."

"Then you shouldn't have relied on your reality-bending prowess so much. There is always a counter for a given technique."

"Don't be smug. Whatever's happening is happening to all of us."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

"Only those who are Reality Warpers, which I am not."

(I love how only my characters are unaffected, since I don't have any reality-bending characters)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I think you may be misjudging the level of power we've ALL been reduced to.

(No. It's just that he specified Reality Anchoring, though I do expect other measures to come in to restrict Crescent's level of power, but until then, as a character, she'll act smug towards reality benders because of that.)

[Zaleramancer]

Look, everyone is being nerfed here.

About seventy percent of my powers aren't even reality bending based, but I'm allowing myself to be nerfed.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

(Wulf did actually have a post regarding that and stated that the next part is having enemies appear, and I will fight at a lower level with Crescent, but ah well, you don't seem to understand my reasoning behind her attitude.)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

"And that's why i wear my armor as my regular clothes, so that I don't have to switch things up when the fights come. Try making your clothes armor beforehand and it will help out a lot in these situations."

[Zaleramancer]

(I just don't like smugness. It makes me long for Break The Haughty.)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

(Well, then you'll need to deal with it, because this is partially Crescent's pride of being naturally strong without bending speaking though she does keep her powers in check. When the wings appear on her back is when she uses all of her powers BTW. I do expect her to take somewhat of a beating either way since Wulf should have a good idea what to use against a physically strong and fast magic weapon user.)

"Regardless of what Suzu has said, I actually wasn't raised amongst my family. One of the rules is that we can pass judgement upon those who raised us with the unhappiest having killed the ones who raised them. The Shigemoto household prefers not to lose members due to that rule and we make our first armors ourselves. Not everything is as rose-colored as you'd think. Besides, my body has a weakness of requiring large amounts of energy every day, much unlike yours which probably requires a regular meal every once in a while."

[The Narrator]

"Well people, I will definitely need this whole anchoring thing fixed soon"  Narrator begins, "if this aspect of my persona<pointing to Areson> isn't locked up soon, I think you all will likely go mad...."

  Hey, they'll go delightfully mad  

  Since you all can perceive us on this plane now, I guess it should be safe to say that other aspects of his persona may arise.  Areson has been locked away from years after his last exploit...

  It wasn't that bad, I just felt so bad for all those people who were trying to lose weight that I just had to help.... 

 You made them lighter, but they were still the same weights....  People were floating and blowing away, I mean Derek was nearly ran out of town.  It took a lot of effort to undo time, and subdue Areson on the Mindscape.  I mean he's truly unpredictable...

"But still guys and gals, I'll try those I've worked with over the years.  My friend, the Gaia, is magic based, and could possibly help, but I know he's tied up trying to take out the Illuminati at the moment.  I can still send telepathic messages cross dimensionally.  If push comes to shove, I'll just call...."

Hush, don't say it aloud, those computer people, do you even know if those computer people can hear you?  Just save it for when you need it

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

What do they look like and what can they do?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

@Dryad: (OOC) Um, actually, yeah, we've all been downgraded. If your powers on the List make you anything of a reality bender, then you're down to just really powerful. If you were moderately powerful, then less power than that. Though, in all, basically not strong enough to wish legions of superhumans dead, or snap a Titan in two at a whim.

@Zale (OOC): Yeah, Break the Haughty came swiftly to mind for me, too...and that was before I even looked up the trope!

@GV: (OOC) They're sentient supercomputers. However, they were brought up by Tech Elves, and thus know everything the Tech Elves know (in essence, any kind of electronic device known to man, and plenty yet to be discovered by man). This means, they could appear as, or some could shapeshift into numerous electronic forms. Rank and power within their race will be denoted by size and if they gain power or rank, they are upgraded to match.

@Everybody else: "Well, I can't say for a fact that this is somehow my doing, but if it is, just let me apologize in advanced. Though, in all honesty, I'm pretty sure that we'll at least be okay here, until such time as we can find a way home. I mean, after all, heh, what's the worst that we could encounter out here on Mars?"

THUM.

THUM.

THUM.

THUM.

"WRAAAAAAAAURGGGH!!!"

The Penultimate turns around slowly.
