*brackets what are you doing

["memory of double cross"]

*... decreases base defense until a party member is downed for the first time in a loop, causes leathal damage to the current state of the enemy that caused a party member to be downed, with a 15% chance that enemy is "fixed" and changes sides, and a sharp buff to all healing craft that will last the whole loop

[brackets what are you doing]

*lets not let gift touch this

*they're probably still compatible with it

[we are here for one last walk in our home]

[you cannot change the script for this]

[the host / holder of the item is granted the ability to designate the guests and the scale of the festivities]

*italics ? what do you think happened to that mad swap!brackets

*the one that ran off into the woods a few years ago

[i...] [dont know]

[invis gently brushed against the mostly inactive portal to exclamania] [making it transparent enough to be seen through and refocused on that lost fool]

*the version of brackets who's lost access to their name hunched over over a patch of ground

*repeatedly pressing mana into it

*desperate to revive it

*desperate to go home, to their john

*their mana ripping right back into them every time

*starting to cry as they poured another mana potion over the ground, not seeing the portal home infront of them

[just as foolish as john would be under this strain]

*the portal appeared to their vision but they're face down on the ground sobbing and pretending they're not upset at the same time

*but someone tried to reach through the other side, the portal spluttering from lack of mana

[they slammed the near empty glass bottle on the ground] [shattering it and feeding a splash of their blood and mana potion to the portal]

*suddenly feeding the portal enough for someone they care for, maybe their timelines sel or john, to snap forward and scruff them too fast to really see

[ooc it means i thought that everyone was mad at me or hated me most of the time (even with people who loved me and weren't angry) and made evaluations that put people in bad light when i was being enslaved and trafficked by deitys (not an exaggeration unfortunately)]

[ooc pretty much none of those ended up doing what they were meant to do because i was in the torture-forcedmurder dimension(proverbial) for a more than significant amount of my life] [ooc except for the ones intended to prolong my suffering] [ooc most of those worked perfectly]

[oos success means you lose something failure means you lose something]

[oos in both the chance you lose your life mistaken for a crazy cultist trying to sacrifice brackets again is high]

[ooc people i already know well might be spared my kicking and screaming] [ooc but that still doesnt stop anyone else around me from thinking that i am being kidnaped] [ooc again] [ooc for the 50th fucking time]
