Well, at least you're alive. And, conveniently, asleep. *Tries moving you to the side a little by changing your vector*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Good. Do you mind elaborating?

@Disdain

Yes. At least, until the process is finalized.

*Sighs in relief*
-Maddie- Ma'at, don't do this.
-Ma'at- If I do this, I can defeat Baphumet. I will defeat Baphumet.
-Maddie- This isn't right.
-Ma'at- Baphumet isn't right! I'll deal with the consequences later. Right now, I have to focus on what's happening right now. *Steps carefully toward Accelerator and clasps his hands*

@Legend

Would you have me ask questions? Or will you just explain what you see fit?

@Disdain

Neither. I cannot provide information until said information is guaranteed to be accurate.

*Sighs slowly; a portal opens under you but you do not fall in; however, you fade somewhat before reforming and the portal closes* It's done.
-Maddie- I can't support you in this.
-That's... that's okay. I don't think I'll need your help anymore. But thank you. Now... I finally have all of them.

@Legend

Ah, I see. I always get confused with the answers to "do you mind". I will wait. *The process continues, and nears completion*

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

Yup. Whoops. Well, now I need to go get the information about the Violet test. Those two colours are so similar. But I might be a bit.

@Efficacy

That's fine. I'll probably head back to the base you were in.

For us, it has always been this way. Both we and the testers can always understand each other. But it seems like you, Martyn, are used to it. Adaptation is important to this test. I suppose I should explain the test, should I not? As we walk.

@Realmatic

Of course. Lead the way.

*Stands up*
-Maddie- *Yelps and stumbles backwards*
-*Shouts through all the layers except the base one* Do you hear that, Baphumet? Every single Codex is under my protection! I'm the only one left! But this time? I'm coming for you. And I'm going to win.
-Maddie- *Breathes in sharply and sighs in relief* So I'm the one thing you couldn't get from any of the others, huh? Was that why you asked for my help?
-No, of course not! It just... made sense.
-Maddie- And if I promise to help you defeat Baphumet? Will you let go of me?
-Ma'at- ... Sorry, Maddie. I can't. Not until this is over.
-Maddie- ... Hmmph! Well then, you don't get any tea! That should teach you! *Is gone*

That is unexpected. *The machine recalibrates and continues*

*Walks behind you and looks around; the village is lit by only a few torches that are spread far out, but they burn extremely brightly* The torches--how do they light so much up?

@Efficacy

Why, that is how the wood is here. Whatever falls from the trees burns both long and bright. You might notice that the bug-eaters like it. But, thankfully, they don't eat us; they seem to understand that we created the fire. They are attracted to light, you see. *Waves a hand at the enormous Venus fly traps surrounding the town*

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Of course. Lead the way.

@Heroic

The Green Magic, as the Master Earth Scribe says, flows with nature. He requires that you understand how to use nature to your advantage—without desecrating it. He would like you to understand that nature is not only life; it is death, too, and it is the struggle for life and death. You will be tested in all three.

-Maddie- *Is back* Oh, but Seth gets tea! *Seth is gone with me* I'll take care of you! *Lays you in a fanciful bed and brews a pot of tea on a table next to it, which is now a miniature stove*
