| Well actually... It's right here.
The forum is here. Though I don't have a story of my own to share, I wish you all the best of luck. |

| I don't think I would have counted it, no.
And a birthday present? Sure, I'll let you believe that. Of course, the truth is that that one point is a bomb and will explode, killing everything, especially the server. No, for real, I'm paying you back over these past two rounds because I accidentally shortchanged you for your win in round 40. I gave you one point, but you were the only winner, and on multiples of 5 you get an extra point. So now you're back to correct.

| Take a look.
I really really really want to do this myself. It's sad that some of the people who tried it got in trouble. It seems as though our society does not accept the possibility that anyone would ever want to spread happiness in public. Ah well, at least they didn't go to jail or anything. |

| Do you mean "darken it a bit"?
Other than that, I agree with you. |

| "Haha, don't worry. We're content to wait. Haha."
However, waiting seems to be a secondary consideration. Each of the Krishens begins to chant, in an odd language that seems to be more concerned with volume than syllables. Each one's open hands become enshrouded in energy. His left shines with the intensity of the Sun, with powerful white magic, and his right becomes an abyss for light, darknening the air around it with its destructive power. A single lance of light shoots into each darkness, and a curve of darkness into each light. Soon there is a circle among their hands that is constantly fought over by the two forces. Each Krishen brings his hands together. A multitude of white and black lightnings fire themselves high into the air, and the sky suddenly becomes enormously cloudy, the clouds forming a huge spiral reminiscent of the matter pouring into a black hole, the black hole centered directly above Schwa's head. Sound familiar? The trick, you see, is that when a ritual spell is cast, the total energy is greater than the sum of the input of the components. This additional power is exponentially related to the number of casters, and stems from the strength of the cooperation and synchronization between the casters. A complete synch results in a base of approximately 2.30, known as Qi. Qi to the Nth power. With 25 casters, roughly 11 million times Krishen's power as a single man can be accessed. However, putting this mana together takes time. Krishen is no Adric. Such theoretical figures would be obtainable only after years of channelling a single spell, due to the fundamental limitations of a mortal body. In addition, it would take far more casters to simply control the mana and stop it from exploding spontaneously, as things tend to do when you pack them really really close together. So it's unlikely Krishen is going all-out on this one. So far, he's only fed about 5 times the power of the 'illusionary' storm spell into this one, but it's rising rapidly. "See? Desperate measures. Haha." |

This puzzle would so be Twilight > Zone if Twilight could do anything. This puzzle would so have Schwa in it but his name doesn't work either. So instead, I give up. Puzzle 44: Good > Night |

| (ooc: You still have it wrong, Dracoon. It's not Kurio, it's Kuroi.)
"Yes, yes I would like to know what's going on. But that can wait. Exactly how far away from this man do we need to get? I would like to ensure the safety of you and your... companion. Kuroi is a bit occupied at the moment, but I trust he'll be joining us shortly." Adric seems uncharacteristically worried. But then, chaos is something you just don't mess with. His thoughts stray for a moment to the crystal. At one point, it had been perhaps the most powerful defense against any magic that would do harm to the bearer. He recalled having relied on it extensively in many of his past battles, all of them flicking by in his memory. For it to have been so immediately ruined... He has few hopes of winning a battle with this mysterious adversary. |

| (ooc: Why, thank you, I agree, I AM so cool!)
"Hahahahaha... Of course there's no getting around this, Schwa! Do you think this much power will simply... vanish? Hahahahahahaha..." On the word 'vanish,' the energy inside the spiral jumps from 5x to 20x. The 'black hole,' though still feeding on the clouds and the energy from Krishen, seems to be getting smaller. More dense. And now, it's getting bigger again. And the density hasn't changed. "I'm prepared. Show me your strength." |

| Anya: Holy hell, what kind of game store do you work for? I need to move there. Now.
Grats to darkchaos. He's also a bastard because I don't have a DS either. I won... A drink container from one of the 'estimate how many X are in the Y' contests $20 in the Michigan State Lottery (even though it's in the rules, they didn't even check to see if I was a citizen of Michigan before giving me the money... I guess $20 doesn't matter) A copy of Civilization II, some five years after it was released, and it's still in the original packaging because I have Civ III A power strip that later turned out to have been broken A pair of speakers that lack a volume control dial (those last three all from the same local electronics convention, really a shame how horrible it is) So apparently I have quantity, not quality. |

| (ooc: Oh, I thought you gave me more credit than that. Why else do you think Krishen began this eight-turn technique right after Schwa's Unique Mana hit 4? Narrative timing strikes again...)
Schwa's red beams work as intended. All of the Krishens but one recieve the defensive penalty. However, the paralysis wisps simply vanish into the core of magic. It's quite possible that the mana contained inside them was absorbed, increasing its power by a small amount. And then... The "it's dangerous to go alone" swords fall back down. Each and every one of them collides with the black hole, and with each strike the black hole becomes a bit more blue and quite a lot stronger. The barrage comes and is over quickly, but the power of the core jumps once again. Saving the reader some nasty math, this manifestation of force is now exactly 99 times as strong as Krishen in his solitary form. ...Which he is soon forced into. The 24 copies who were affected by the defense beams leap into the path of the Omega, surrounded by quickly-summoned shields of mana. This maneuver is also precisely calculated- The blast has the power to destroy all of the copy-Krishens, with none left over. The one who remains recieves the soul energy of those destroyed at the exact moment he finishes his jump into the center of the mana core. There is a sudden explosion of sound and light, capable of no real damage, as Krishen absorbs the entire black hole into his own body. He remains there, floating in the air and looking down at Schwa. He knows that the time is here. Yes. Krishen has just multiplied his own power a hundred times. "Haha! This feels GREAT! How about you, Schwa? How do you... feel? I see that you're ready to show me your real power. By all means, do so!" |

| Well, if we build something giant in outer space, it should totally be one of the following three:
A. Giant Robot B. Giant Sunlight-Focusing Lens (to burn cities wit', of course) C. Giant Laser Spacestation Or, of course, all at once. |

| The shadow reaches out a phantasmal arm at incredible speed, snatching the bullet out of the air. The bullet does not stop, but is merely redirected at the wire upon which the liquid approaches. With a silent snap of his fingers, the shadow turns the bullet to acid, and it rips right through the razor wire. The liquid has no path to delivery, so hopefully will be unable to detonate the knife.
Kuroi's shadow then turns to the source of the bullet, holding out a single 'finger' out of which a bolt of purple lightning erupts. A target struck by this attack will have their mind temporarily damaged, so will probably either lose consciousness or become paralyzed. It will last only a minute or so, but that would definitely be long enough to finish the prayer and get away. Kuroi himself continues to remain stationary, wholly focused on his task. |

| Kuroi's shadow returns to his body as the attacks begin. The first gunshot shatters the statue into millions of golden shards, which fly off in a sudden gust of wind. Kuroi himself recieves blow after blow to his back, but remains motionless and unflinching despite the wounds.
And then, a soft blue light envelops the clearing. All motion stops within the area... Perhaps it is time that is manipulated. A voice asks psychically through the stilled air... "Why?" The light fades. Kuroi collapses to the ground, unconscious, perhaps from the wounds, perhaps from the prayer. Whether or not Kuroi had time to finish is completely unknown, even to himself. |

"Oh, I see. You want to play the 'No, YOU go first!' game. I'm sorry, that's a set of rules I don't follow. You'll find that there are many rules I am not required to follow in this state of strength. Let's begin with something you never thought you'd see again..." To warp reality, one must first have a blueprint in mind. A desired effect. The blueprint for a spell does not have to come from within. Sometimes, even those untrained in a form of magic will memorize a spell upon seeing it cast. Often they do not even know that they know the spell, for it is in a language they are unable to comprehend. One also has to understand how the current situation functions and how the desired effect will function. From there, a suitably skilled caster can plan a chain of modifications that will gradually create the desired effect. The important thing to know is that each instant affords the caster only the most modest of changes to reality... Every type of ability, be it magic, or something... else... must be built from these fundamental instintaneous alterations to the tapestry of existence. But magic, like life, occasionally seems to be more than just a careful alignment of components. Every so often a spell will somehow achieve a mind of its own. In these cases, what has truly happened is that the series of modifications, if compressed into a single instant, would be the framework of a soul, not a spell. Indeed, with cautious research into these similarities, a powerful mage might create a spell specifically designed to become a soul... But a soul is more than just a metaphysical structure. It has to come from somewhere, and mortals simply are not meant to be the source. Someone, long ago, poured his soul into such a spell... and it never came back. Krishen searches through Schwa's past. Time is simply a book, constantly being written. It takes only the right angle to open the book and gaze upon its contents. For most of history, mortals have tried to pull at the book's edges and binding to learn its secrets, and therefore have only glimpsed an occasional vision. Krishen knows better. He pages through the spells that Schwa has witnessed. Hmm... Take THAT one, and THAT one, and maybe a bit of THAT other one, and we'll see what we get... Oh my, these are HIS spells, aren't they... Krishen holds one hand outstretched towards Schwa. A ball of lightning forms in it, though it seems oddly different from how lightning should be. "Winter Teravolt Blazer!" The ball of lightning fires itself at Schwa. In transit, it splits into millions of shards, which take the appearance of bits of wood. Each one carries a medium-strength electrical charge, but together they could become a problem. As soon as each shard impacts a physical object other than Schwa, it explodes into a gigantic (56', woot) sphere of snow. Each one of these is also only mildly damaging, but each area where more than three overlap is encased in supercooled ice. All that heat has to go somewhere. Indeed, it is merely moved, to a globe of lasers surrounding Schwa. Each one of these then fires itself at Schwa, one at a time. The grand total of attacks here numbers in the tens of millions, each one dealing damage approximately equal to half of an Alpha Psibeam. Schwa had better have the ultimate defense... "Oh, and why the hell did you call me an octopus?" |

| Kuroi is immediately coated in a bright golden light upon hitting the couch. His eyelids open, but the eyes themselves seem to be rotating at random. He jerks upright, as though being handled roughly by an invisible force. His mouth opens, and he begins to babble, words and syllables in fifty different languages, none of them forming phrases of any coherence to speak of. His arms and legs flail wildly as his fingers continually flex and unflex, dozens of times per second.
And then he collapses again, and the light fades. |
