Objective completed: Look at you! Saving worlds with just ideas! Scaled Yes/No: Yes Monsters (1) Majji, (1) Saccharculus, (1) Thorny Vine - Boss NPCs "M" Akaz Al'nold Bubble (Cat/Witch) Bubble (Witch) Myx Toil Trouble Verlyrus Rewards Majjical Owl Wings (I-VII) Access to GW Loot for DCs. Dialogue *Back at Majji's fortress, he seems to have recovered from his previous disappointment.* "M": This is- this is still salvageable! "M": Come on, "M"! Think of what your fathers would say! "M": Think of the happy, Apsaydaaunian faces! "M": Happy, candy-stuffed faces! <Character>: That's enough, Majji! "M": W-who dares to call me by my– "M": Oh, it's YOU! "M": I won't let you destroy my last bit of hope! Al'nold: Majji, p-please! Your creations were destroying the world! <Character> had to destroy them! "M": STOP CALLING ME THAT! Akaz: Fine then. "M", you need to stop! What you're doin' is far too extreme to help the business! Believe me, I've been down this path. As has Al. "M": Unlike you, simpletons, this is but a small step back on the path to greatness! "M": Plants powered by the captured candy, extracting from them pure, unfiltered fear! "M": Just a drop of that would make an entire batch of processed candy absolutely divine! "M": You think anyone else could have achieved this?! NO! It was all me! <Character>: I'm sorry Sisters, I can't listen to this self-centered... whatever he is anymore. <Character>: I won't let you take anymore humans for your vile experiments! "M": And I won't let some sour candy talk back to me like that! I will defend my last, ingenious creation to my final breath!! Battle! - begins battle with Majji, Saccharculus, and Thorny Vine. Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions. Run Away! - returns to Mogloween Storybook. *After the battle, a defeated Majji wallows in self-pity.* "M": You... "M": You have doomed me... Bubble: Oh don't be so dramatic, you'll live. "M": No... I have failed. I have let down my parents, and figuratively literally everyone on our entire plane of existence. "M": And worst of all, I have failed the only person that counts the most... "M": ...myself! *Majji pauses as acceptance of his defeat turns to anger towards his defeater; you.* "M": Actually no, what am I saying? "M": This is all your fault! "M": My plan and its execution were perfect! "M": With such a low chance for candy to actually end up here, my idea was brilliant and ahead of its time! <Character>: I can't believe this needs to be said out-loud... YET AGAIN... <Character>: ...but it's humans! Not candy! And I don't take kindly to you guys eating humans! <Character>: Like, am I in the wrong here?! <Character>: What's happening!? <Character>: Eating. People. Equals. Bad! "M": So you just expect us to change our ways, our way of living, because it's "bad", in your opinion?! <Character>: YES! Trouble: <Character>, we told you that our people will have a hard time adjusting to a life without cand– humans! <Character>: We have here not only all of the Baleful Brothers, but also all of the Cauldron Sisters! In one room! Myx: And me! <Character>: And Myx! Verlyrus: Mew! <Character>: And Verly! <Character>: Anyway! You guys all tried to make substitutes in your candy-making businesses... or were a part of the experiments in said businesses. <Character>: I don't know, have a brainstorming session! <Character>: I remember you lot saying that fear is essential for the... and I can't believe I'll say this... for the "candy" to taste good. <Character>: I like the plants idea, "M", that's a step in a good direction! "M": Well of course it is, I thought of it. <Character>: So, like, can't you just make plants that can be scared or something? *The Cauldron Sisters, Myx, and the Baleful Brothers all stop, seemingly shocked by what you have just proposed; meanwhile, Verlyrus continues happily licking his paw; you look back and forth between everyone's surprised faces, wondering if you have said something you shouldn't have.* <Character>: Uhh... have I said something untactful again? Toil: N-no, this is... "M": This is a truly magnificent idea. I... literally... cannot believe I haven't thought of that. Bubble: No more need for humans... Bubble: No human will ever get hurt... Akaz: Plants may be challenging to grow... Trouble: But it's not like the plants will be sapient... Al'nold: It quite frankly solves all the problems! "M": We grow the plants, we introduce the fear factor, we grind the plants down which results in a powdered fear... Trouble: Vegan fear! "M": Vegan? Myx: I'll explain later. Toil: And then we prepare conventional, edible candy, with the powder, either sprinkled on top, or directly in the formula! Akaz: Or we can just sell the powder itself! "M": No Akaz, this will be the "business secret". Every successful business needs a secret, I've read about it. Akaz: Oh, cool. Bubble: <Character>! <Character>: Umm, yes? Bubble: You might have just saved BOTH our worlds! Bubble: With the simplest, most plain idea ever! <Character>: That... almost sounded like a complement, if you hadn't added that second part. <Character>: But hey, I'll take it! "M": I will start working on this post haste! As soon as I collect myself, obviously, I must look resplendent while unveiling this new invention! Myx: Wow, and no brainstorming was even necessary. Way to go, <Character>... *You glare at Myx disapprovingly.* A few days later! *In Akaz's laboratory, you have all assembled again to witness Majji's plant prototype.* "M": And there it is! Sadly, this particular plant will not be the true, final product. "M": I just simply altered this plant's molecular structure, thus allowing it to experience fright. Merely a prototype. "M": The true, finished Phobos Timore™ will be grown with utmost care and dread, and as we all know, this process takes patience and time! "M": Now then, <Class>! Do the honors! <Character>: Huh? "M": Scare it. <Character>: Me?! "M": But of course. It was your idea, after all! I am stepping down from my pedestal, for a moment mind you, and giving YOU all the spotlight! <Character>: How... gracious. *Majji smiles proudly.* Bubble: Go on, <Character>! I can't wait to see it! <Character>: Okay then. *You stand before the plant prototype, unsure of what to do.* <Character>: Uhhh... *You glance backwards, knowing the future of both Apsaydaaun and Lore is, somewhat, in your hands.* <Character> (haunting): Boo? *The plant prototype appears to quiver with fright.* "M": Astonishing! You are a very scary candy! "M": Ah, my apologies, a very scary human! I still have a little bit of growing to do! Bubble: Alrighty, now for the next step: grind it into powder and sprinkle it on this cookie! *The scene fades out and back in as Bubble presumably grinds the plant prototype down into a powder and sprinkles it on a cookie.* Bubble: Done. "M": Let me taste it, please. I simply must be the one to taste it first. Bubble: Umm, go ahead... *Majji takes a bite of the fearful-plant-powdered cookie; everyone nervously awaits his reaction.* Al'nold: S-so? How is it? "M": Mmph. "M": Simply... *Majji takes a moment to savour the tasty treat.* "M": Divine! *Later, in another part of Apsaydaaun, you appear to be bidding farewell to the Baleful Brothers for another year.* <Character>: Well then! With the things settled, this will be a goodbye, for now! "M": I would once more like to extend my, nay, our gratitude! Akaz: Our family business is saved, thanks to ya! Al'nold: The only thing remaining now... is to relay this new candy plan to our parents... "M": I dread it now even more than before. We won't be using humans, after all. And our fathers are... traditionalists. Myx: Hey, that's true! After all, Simsa and Labim were the ones who first started monopolizing huma– I mean candy! Myx: You bros are so screwed! Bubble: Myx! Bubble: I think it will be fine! We've made a big deal of our moms grounding us, and after all that it turned out okay! Toil: Well, we did have <Character>'s help in this matter. "M": In this case... <Character>: Err. "M": Aha, merely a jest! We'll take care of it by ourselves. "M": Together, my brothers! Akaz, Al'nold (in unison): Together! Trouble: Don't forget to keep in touch! We're more than happy to help with the new candy! "M": Certainly! <Character>: Trick or treating time!! *Scene fades to black.* Complete Quest Loot for DCs - opens GW Loot for DCs shop.
