Hushed Star: I think I have to commend all three of our narrators for maintaining any semblance of sanity. After that last display, I faintly grasp the scale of time in effect here. I'm still reeling from the implication that wolf's name was taken (stolen? given unwisely? scavenged?) by one of the gods of Vidora.

2025-04-22 14:38:35 +0000 UTCEnvy Star: (to Phyxos) My, amazing hips. Just how did you get to such a disorganized god? Action: blow some dust into his face to help *clean*

2025-04-18 17:04:48 +0000 UTCActually, looking at it, the Wizard pulled the trigger, you can see his triangles on it. and hes pointing his fingers at it

2025-04-18 16:50:36 +0000 UTCI understand. But if the dragons are stone, does that mean they've been eaten and have become something else? Also, why doesn't Phyx OS speak in his god voice? Also, one last thing. OKAY, NEW THEORY: WOLF IS FREDERIK, GOD OF VISIONS. It's why he sees Ruin Voltranis was only the father god and god of storms. Once he took Frederik's name, he also became the god of visions all of a sudden.

2025-04-17 23:05:09 +0000 UTCIwapele: I suppose for me the Beginning is Port Zero. How did things go for those unique to that location first time or without our interference? If too broad, I wish to see what Levi and Superior Substance were doing from where we started. If THEY unaccessible Milo and Sister.

2025-04-17 18:46:29 +0000 UTCGravitas Star (to Phyxos): Another adventure! With you! Great! You seem to know more about the loops than arbiters. Then how many loops have you been through so far? You can tell us that much, right?

2025-04-17 14:24:44 +0000 UTCI admit it is very much a vibe thing- mostly based on the Dungeon we saw in Chapter 3 and Chimamanda's discussion afterwards. The Ouranic Gods seem like the natural progression of the Dungeon Masters, trapping people inside their realm and feeding on their worship to grow. We also see from the Cycles and the 4 hero model (and especially The Zero Four) that the Gods are able to edit people's memories and nature to better fit archetypes, in a similar way to the Dungeon Masters. Additionally, the way that the Lost and the Creatures of the Dungeon share a similar nature of overwriting someone, and it feels like the same sort of thing keeps them both back (the beacons and the job crystals). Finally, and this is maybe a stretch, this Epilogue made it clear that Red's time rewind only extends to Vidora itself, which makes me think he has bound it to the Dungeon of Vidora - which fits with the weird time nature of the Dungeons, such as us meeting the Curly party in a Dungeon. The rules of causality seem more fluid in these areas the Gods create.

2025-04-17 11:35:28 +0000 UTCI also theorize that Vidora is a giant dungeon, but I'm getting pushback. What is your argument for vidora being a dungeon?

2025-04-16 20:27:25 +0000 UTCVelvet Star: "Phyxos... I imagine you aren't too attached to the arbiters, being comfy on the moon can be done without them... But I don't need to care about that right now. If you're responsible for everything we've been seeing, that means you've been providing the stat checks and sheets, right? ...Any chance of giving us the one's we're missing? That's Kurt, Levi, Cleric, Marston and Nokkie."
deersarecool
2025-04-16 19:42:45 +0000 UTCWindchime Star(?)- So the Dragons found their escape on the moon, even in stone... is Maeklynn still amongst them? And i worry for Cherry, last we saw he was in such pain...
Robert Smith
2025-04-16 18:19:50 +0000 UTCAlso... I kinda wanna see the panel of Siphon and Roku making out that Phyxos was watching lol

2025-04-16 18:19:00 +0000 UTCUpdate thoughts – again from work whoops: So the Heart was dropped off by Anathema/VOICES – I suppose on Red’s orders, given he still seems to be working for the Warlock? Perhaps for all the fact he doesn’t agree with the Arbiters, he trusts them enough to know they will work for the same end goal as his, even if their motives seem very different. Or, given his motives seem odd, perhaps he believes there is a higher chance if two groups are working at odds with each other to create a better timeline, with possibility in the intersection between their desires. I’m glad we are able to work together with the Arbiters, and starting to learn the limits of their knowledge, now they are allowing themselves to drop the all-knowing façade. I will say I think Alchemist in particular is faking hate and anger – he clearly does care more than he lets on, I recall how upset he was when I asked him how many times he killed Wolf and Cherry before. Meanwhile the High Wizard’s Comparison to Tantalus is an interesting input on how they view themselves as being punished, presumably in part due to their rebellion against the Vidoran Gods? It’s nice to see the age range of the Arbiters and their views on the situation – it sheds a new light on Archdruid’s behaviour that he is less highly strung because, on some levels, he had forced himself to ‘become distant’ so he didn’t go crazy from being trapped – though we know that distance is a lie based on the fact he can still see Anathema, who seems tied to the fate of Vidora. I guess Alchemist meanwhile was an ARK scientist of some kind? And the question of our ‘objective’ – it seems like not even the Arbiters know what happens at the end of prophecy, and whether that frees them or not. Or, whether there is any way to stop the prophecy at this point, regardless of the desires of anyone involved. It would be interesting to know how the Prophecy first came into being, and who stated it. Ok and some info on the Ministry (My guess is the answer of C to all lol)- about what I expected based on what we knew from the Ritual, ‘The Carcass’ is new (/ because i missed it lol shh) but that makes sense as Red’s body that is kinda… holding together the colourless place where Lost souls go, especially after a reset. Additionally, it does really feel like Red And it seems that I guess the Arbiters only ever had limited input on the resets, as I guessed – seemingly they know roughly when it is likely to occur, and used the heart before to prepare for that. Bee is particularly fascinating to me – without the Living Sacrifices, is he a full Ministry Member? And yeah, I still think that basically the moon and the ship are at the edges of the Vidoran Dungeon. And Phyxos, being outside it, can record and play the loops. And it seems the crystal that projects the barrier protecting people comes from the moon- presumably because it exists outside of the Dungeon, and is somehow more real? I dunno, just a guess. DRAGONS! Would make sense they are on the moon, as this would be the ultimate place protected from the Heat. But being turned to stone, I guess on purpose? This reminds me of how from Cherry's perspective outside the Dungeon everyone was becoming Stone as they were forced into their roles- something similar here? The Moon Rabbits are interesting – I wonder if they are the equivalent of the Vidoran Godlings, but treated less aggressively and so formed into a sort of equilibrium. Hmmm... Talasi and Druid is interesting- we know Archdruid is connected to the very nature of Vidora itself because of the whole nature of Druidic magic that he created- i wonder if he created magic for Talasi, as she is tied to the land? Or maybe us the one that hurt her via the magic plague, and still feels guilty for it, which is why she is connected to madness. And hey! Another Red intro! Let's see what happens next.

2025-04-16 16:29:05 +0000 UTCFreedom star (To Phyxos): Im curious, in this universe does everything follow cause and effect or is it all random? Or is it like quantum states where there is a probability of certain states to be observed and we're only observing some of those states at a time.

2025-04-16 15:56:22 +0000 UTCAlternate line if you don't wanna use that one: Librarian Star: Fascinating that the Ring no longer responds to you. Or did it ever respond to you. You placed it at a certain time, yes, but how much autonomy does our conduit to the world possess?
Alan
2025-04-16 15:30:51 +0000 UTCLibrarian Star: While I can understand your willingness to withhold information from us, spoiling the plot as it were, are we not off the rails enough that this convention is beyond us. Or am I mistaken in this assumption?
Alan
2025-04-16 15:28:37 +0000 UTC(Did some slight edit cause why not.) Nexus Star:(To Phyxos) You know, I could definitely go for cuddles and chill while watching a prequel with the god of chaos, how's about a nice warm plushies to lay on your belly for comfort, don't get why this one has a hole on its thick butt but hope you don't mind. If you hear any moaning coming from it, ignore it. *Give Phyxos a plushies resembling a boar with Nexus sigil's all over it's body(and acts like a fleshlight for some odd reason?)* Nexus Star: By the way, are we gonna find out ALL the characters of the zero four backstory before they became part of the zero four, I'm quite curious. (Would love cuddle with Phyxos and if he wants he could also have a bit of fun. I think I'd remembered we won't be doing any actions, if that's true, then I just want to ask the question that's at the end of this post.)

Tell us, tell me my dear...what gets you off the most? What's the main thing that gets you in the mood to goon?? Also, on a serious note, do you happen to know what happened to Caitano and the others? What about our beloved Vox and Keth?? With the finding of this Epiosde 00 tape, surely it must contain the answer. THAT WAS REALLY GOOD, HOLY SMOKES!! Great update you guys!! SO looking forward to what comes next~ ^__^

2025-04-16 07:42:29 +0000 UTCStar of Lost Causes: "How many of them... How many versions of these people were lost? Erased? Deleted? Have these infinite resets not taken a toll on their souls? What possible fate could justify this slaughter, over and over ad nauseum? And what have we done to deserve even bearing witness to this unnatural shitshow you've created?"

2025-04-16 06:32:13 +0000 UTCTo Phyxos Performer's Star: Oh Phyxos you adorable dweeb, treating us stars to the equivalent of a movie date. how I brace myself for some tear jerking moments for sure. Oh the dramatics I'm ready to metaphorically tear up! But also let us treat you as well dearie, huhuhu~ Action: My hands appear, one holding a magician’s hat. I then fist slam the top hat, making some soda and chips fall out of my hand like a little waterfall of treats. Performer’s Star: Can't have a viewing party without some snacks! Enjoy some pop and chips you silly geek, huhuhu~

2025-04-16 06:11:07 +0000 UTCThis must have taken alot. First, sorry for being negative. You have worked for years and likely suffered real setbacks in your attempts 2nd each installment is never phoned in, even where labor saving techniques employed I don't notice and innovative engagement is always part of this. Uhm is the font color and "voice" switch witch wiz and druid...intentional? Man I suck at mysteries. Alchemist character revealed. Things are complicated but they make as much sense as anything can. I hope your hands forgive use for the gorgeous shaping and distortion they rendered. Elecmon....hmmm Druid had a daughter? Or was that his bridal sacrifice. Pretty. Atypical for your work. Hmm the legs and feet made me think grown woman/mother but classic loli. Not up on the lingo but gives off ghost vibes a plenty So much said with angles, actions and reaction. Okay so the bunnies are workers, they are operating, at least for now, at surplus but diminishing rate. But even with that the planet and city states are cooked Huh. Okay I am curious why are these city-states are so important. I mean I suppose might be for our dumb-ass and needed clarity. But why do rabbits on the moon care about names of cities?!? Not a "complaint of story" more "exasperation at own confusion " I guess I just assumed the citystates were a convenient convention for us. But now it's like essential as landscape features. Then again the "boss bunny" didn't know what loops were and we are told they are dumb. Their perspective, work, and the circle is all they know? Weird the circle system extends here...

2025-04-16 04:54:49 +0000 UTCHUNGRY STAR: "If we're going back, what of the satyrs? All gods are gods of Hunger, and yet the bloodthirst of one satyr is enough to chill the highest in the land. Unrestrained, could a satyr's bite even separate the soul from one's body?" ACTION: Inquire more about satyr history, and the nature of their bloodthirst.

2025-04-16 04:35:31 +0000 UTCDesires Star: To Archdruid: "Sooo my horny green friend...mind explaining what happened in the aftermath of Wolf and Kurt's "bout"? Something tells me Kurt was not amused by that charade and I can't blame him. To me, Its seems as if Wolf cheated!!"
Blade G Shepherd
2025-04-16 04:35:29 +0000 UTCRNG Star: (To Phyxos) Chaos and Mathematics eh Fuzzy one? Perhaps we could play some games later? Tabletop? Board? Games of chance? Maybe some… Kinks and Cantrips? Either way, can you name some common denominators in all the loops you have recorded that cause the timelines to domino to failure? Action: Spawn a few table top items around Phyxos to entice him into board games like Sorry! D&D esque board, character sheets and dice, a casino style dice roller, then the flip before him the Hardcore Erotic RPG playbook Kinks and Cantrips before him to see his reaction. Then ask Phyxos what are the most repeating patterns of actions and circumstances that are causing the timelines to fail.

2025-04-16 04:06:06 +0000 UTCOk must say, really love Phyxos vibes. Even more loving the feeling and vibes that the god of chaos is actually acts way more normal than all the others X'D. Looking forward to see how the story will play from this flashback, and even more, looking forward to maybe learning Red's plan in a way too 🤔. My personal guess is that he and Zenion made Cherry as the key to the "best end", one that would really break the "cycle" of the gods that they created.

2025-04-16 03:30:43 +0000 UTCNow this made me a bit more curious to see him how he may look like corrupted X3c. I'm definitely gooning with a minotaur idea even more now, especially from his father being a God of seas/ storms X3c.
