Infinity Nikki Version 1.4 [Revelry Season] Availability: March 25, 2025 - April 28, 2025 Prerequisites: [Chasing the Cursed Mask] quest completed

[Part 1, Part 2]

After completing event exclusive quest Chapter 1: The Feast of Chaos and Revelry - [Chasing the Cursed Mask], this quest becomes available immediately in your missions. Finishing this quest opens up a lot more event exclusive content to do.

Keep Reading for more. Includes story, dialogue, pictures, commentary, humor, spoilers.

Part 1 left off with us seeing Morda tell the crowd about his cowardice and it keeping him back from sharing his singing with the other Faewish Sprites even though his voice is beautiful.

At the end of the cutscene we see that Moosda was off to the side of the stage watching Morda the entire time and couldn't believe the courage he was seeing from him at this moment. After Morda is done with his speech and the cutscene ends, Nikki and Momo make their way to the side of the stage where Morda and Moosda are seen talking to each other.

► Dialogue

• Morda: I can't believe it! Moosda, you're finally awake! • Moosda: I heard you, Morda. "I'll keep on trying, and I'll keep being brave." Pretty good, huh? • Morda: Uh... You're making me blush now. Stop it. • Momo: Hehe, isn't it a little too late now to start getting shy? • Nikki: Moosda, are you feeling better? • Moosda: Much better! I don't feel dizzy anymore. I have so much energy now. • Moosda: Kodibo told me that Nikki and Momo saved me. I suppose that must be you two. Thank you so much! • Morda: It was all my fault, I'm sorry, Moosda. If it wasn't for me... • Moosda: I know what happened. We're good. And if you've decided to be a superstar, you can't be moping around! • Moosda: Speaking of which, this little accident actually helped me catch up on some much-needed sleep! • Moosda: By the way, have you seen the Carnival Mask? When i woke up, it wasn't with me. I hope we didn't lose it... • Morda: It's safe. It's safe. I've got it with me.

Morda returned the Carnival Mask to Moosda and told him about everything that happened.

• Moosda: Wow, so much happened. I just took a nap, and not only did the Mask get a new feature, but it also got a new name! what was it again? The Wickedly... Something... • Momo: The Great Wickedly Kind Mask! • Moosda: How do you remember such a long name? • Nikki: There's only one question left. Why does the Mask keep flying around? • Momo: One more thing—if the Carnival Mask reflects the wearer's deepest desires, why didn't anything weird happen when Moosda wore it, huh? • Moosda: As for why the Mask flies around, I think it's because a decoration ball fell from high up and hit it, causing some kind of energy disturbance. • Moosda: This kind of thing has happened before. The book says that after a while, the Mask will just go back to normal. • Moosda: As for why nothing strange happened when I wore it... Hmm... It might be because, I have strong self-control. • Morda: Is that really why? I knew you were amazing, Moosda! • Momo: You're way too gullible! That's definitely not the reason! • Moosda: Haha, I was just kidding. I think the reason nothing strange happened, is because my deepest desire has always been to be a top-tier music producer. • Moosda: Whether or not I wear the Carnival Mask, I just want to be on stage performing music, that's all. • Momo: You didn't experience anything strange? No weird illusions, like what Morda just saw? • Moosda: Oh, you mean the Illusion Zone? In there, I'm the best music producer in Miraland, with audiences from all over the world cheering for me. Performing is everything to me... • Nikki: So, the space we entered earlier is called the Illusion Zone... • Moosda: You're really special. You're the only ones who've ever been able to enter the Illusion Zone. • Moosda: The book says the Timeworn Pillar is the source of the Mask's power. If you want to continue exploring the Illusion Zone, maybe you should start there. • Moosda: Alright, no more questions for the time being. For now, let's head to the Starlight Stage... and get ready for the climax of the Carnival Party!

Moosda tells the group about how they might go about getting back to the Illusion Zone later. For now, Nikki and Momo make their way to Starlight Stage to see the climax of the Carnival Party.

• Moosda: Welcome one and all... to the Wish Carnival Party! Hahaha! Of course, if you miss this one, it's not the end of the world... • Moosda: Just wait a few hundred years, and you'll be able to join the next vibrant generation at the party. But I should warn you... don't throw your back out on the dance floor! • Moosda: You may not know this, but not long ago, the Carnival Mask went missing! • Moosda: But don't worry, we don't need to turn the Wishing Woods upside down, or soak ourselves in Silken Lake, thinking about how to apologize to everyone, because... • Moosda: Nikki and Momo already helped us find the Mask! • Moosda: After all this, we'll send a mysterious gift to our friends, Nikki and Momo! But for now, let's give them a round of applause! • Moosda: Also, we've made a new discovery about the Carnival Mask during this event. It has the ability to reflect the deepest desire of its wearer and "fulfill" it. • Moosda: It might be your obsession, your wish, or your secret longing... • Moosda: I know this sounds tempting, but I need to warn everyone, the desires fulfilled by the Mask are just illusions, not reality. • Moosda: Overindulgence will only make you a prisoner of the Mask, and cause chaos. • Moosda: So, while I've decided to allow the Mask to be borrowed and worn, I must warn everyone... there are risks involved, so please use it with caution. • Moosda: As your host, that's all I have to say. Now, let's hand the stage over to our newly crowned Party King—Morda! • Morda: Me? • Morda: No, no, no! Moosda, what's going on? You're the Carnival's Party King! • Moosda: According to the rules, the Party King is the one who can get everyone hyped and lead the celebration. You've already proven you can do that, so you're definitely the Party King! • Morda: I can't do it. You're the only one who can be the Party King. • Nikki: Uh, you guys might want to decide quick, the Carnival Mask might fly away...

• Momo: Come on, Nikki, let's light up the dance floor!

Everyone was swept away in a sea of celebration, letting go of their worries, shedding their burdens, and rediscovering their confidence. Amid the thunderous music, they basked in the intensity and freedom that belonged solely to that moment...

• Momo: Wah! How did I change back? I wasn't done enjoying it yet... • Nikki: Me too! I never knew you were such a good dancer! • Nikki: But it's okay! Whether or not you have long legs, we can still dance together! In my heart, Momo will always be my best dance partner and my best friend!

What a party! Everyone got to have a little more confidence at the end of it all. Even freakishly long Momo. Afterwards we're invited to Party Mode which will reload the game. Tons of new content opens up to enjoy for [Revelry Season], so that's just the beginning.

More retranslations of the first game and this one somehow doesn't destroy any big plot points for once. It does have this gem, though:

Review: How I Took the King on a Bone-a-Fide Quest of Piracy, Piemu, and Profit: Bone 6 (How I Stole the Princess's White Knight and Turned him to Villainy Book 12) by A. J. Sherwood

Rating: 5🌈 Finale time! And Steve’s gonna be a whole new dragon! Well, long dead and a skeleton one at that! But happy happy! And that madcap murderous fabulous family of sorcerers and a King will adopt another into the fold. And there’s many weddings! Sherwood has written a warmhearted, if somewhat murderous tale of adventure, love, magic, and family. It’s been a wild and humorous journey. A…

I think it would be so funny if there was a show about King Arthur and the knight of the Round Table where a different knight(s) joins the Round Table every episode and it gets to the point where the cast is like 500 people and absolutely no one is acknowledging that there are like 400 people in this court. Like a gratuitous amount of knights. The plot randomly pivots to knight or knights of the week and then back but it’s not an anthology exactly. Some of them die the same day they join, some randomly disappear from the story and others are technically there for the rest of the series but doing fuckall. Occasionally Arthur will be like “Where has Sir Whatever gone?” and everyone will shrug. Very important quest surrounding the major knights you’re expecting and a minor knight no one has seen for 5 seasons randomly joins in. You need a knightly spreadsheet to join in.

And if I said Varian was entirely justified in his revenge against the king specifically? And if I said I wish he would’ve done more? What then

My December Entertainment Update

Hello friends! Time to talk about what’s been entertaining me lately. Quest of the Jedi Book 1: The Way of the Apprentice, by Jude Watson. I needed an e-book to read, and after not finishing the series The Last of the Jedi, lol, I decided to try this one. It’s the first in a series chronicling the adventures of a young Anakin and Obi-Wan. Like the other series, these are short junior novels,…

I’m playing Minion Quest again and gOD I forgot how much I adore this game and my lovely minions,, beloved lil guys,,

[emiko-matsui]

What I love about Dimension 20: Time Quangle is that it's advertised as a canon non-canon series of live shows where they don't have a set campaign but play with all their settings and characters, but the world building within these shows established that it does in fact take place in Dimension 20: Fantasy High. Hear me out.

The first time the Dimension 20 audience is introduced to the concept of a time quangle isn't when the cast announces their Time Quangle Tour, but rather in the beginning of Fantasy High's third season. In Junior Year Arthur Aguefort is absent on a trip with his daughter through history and leaves the school in the hands of Arcturus Grix and Jace Stardiamond. It is established that Aguefort has concurrently gotten himself involved in a so-called time quangle on this journey which is the reason why some canonical events in Spyre's timeline has been displaced (with Junior Year and The Seven supposedly taking place at the same time but entailing contradicting events). In every stop of the canon non-canon Time Quangle Tour it is Arthur Aguefort (and at times his daughter Ayda Aguefort, whom we know he's travelling with) that is the guiding force that helps the characters unquangle their universes, which lines up perfectly with the established canon of Fantasy High.

At first Aguefort believes that he accidentally created the quangle by travelling through time, but in the last stop of the Time Quangle Tour we see that Aguefort has begun to doubt this, because if the quangle was simply an unmotivated force he would've been able to sort it out much quicker, but now he realises that the quangle is actively evading him. In this last stop we find out that the one who created the time quangle was Chungledown Bim after failing his quest on hunting down Fabian. The person at the centre of the time quangle, that Aguefort is fighting with throughout Junior Year's run, is Chungledown Bim. Now this does also line up with Fantasy High canon. In Fantasy High's second season Fabian encounters Chungledown Bim for the first time who swears vengeance upon him and vows that he will stop at nothing to hunt him down. We see Chungledown Bim follow through on this vow at the end of the second season when he chases Fabian into the forest of The Nightmare King and during other liveshows in Spyre (AKA boys night). Mysteriously enough however, in Junior Year Chungledown Bim doesn't make a single appearance, something that I, personally, found very strange on my first time watching it, since we know he is enacting his vow to hunt down Fabian. With the revelation in Dimension 20: Time Quangle that it is Chungledown Bim that Aguefort fights throughout the quangle and throughout Junior Year, and the revelation that the quangle was created in the first place to bring Fabian into a place where he could not physically escape from Chungledown Bim, the entire thing slots perfectly into Fantasy High canon and even solves the problem of Chungledown Bim's missing presence in the third season.

In every intro of the Time Quangle Tour Brennan introduced the following story as "canon non-canon", which meant that the following events were somehow canon despite none of the events actually being canon. As well, Brennan refers to all these stories as "divergent timelines and universes." This solves the final piece ever-so neatly in the fact that with the final piece of lore we know that the non-canon part is the characters and settings, which are from divergent timelines, and not the ones shown on Dimension 20's various seasons. However, the canon part is still there. This is still all happening in at least one canon. Fantasy High. A lot of non-canon events from non-canon timelines are happening, but the quangle is still, and always was, canon in Fantasy High. Before the tour even started. This is the time quangle. It aligns with the canon of Fantasy High and even explains the canon of Fantasy High. Chungledown Bim is dead. He died hunting down Fabian, and Fabian doesn't even know about it.

Now, I'm not gonna claim the Time Quangle Tour was all planned as a Fantasy High tie-in by Brennan, that would be ludicrous of me. But... planned or simply inadvertently, Dimension 20: Time Quangle is a new Fantasy High season.

Chapter 2: The Song of Devotion & Joy - Shine! Party King!

Infinity Nikki Version 1.4 [Revelry Season] Availability: March 25, 2025 - April 28, 2025 Prerequisites: [Chasing the Cursed Mask] quest completed

[Part 1, Part 2]

After completing event exclusive quest Chapter 1: The Feast of Chaos and Revelry - [Chasing the Cursed Mask], this quest becomes available immediately in your missions. Finishing this quest opens up a lot more event exclusive content to do.

Keep Reading for more. Includes story, dialogue, pictures, commentary, humor, spoilers.

This quest is automatically added whenever you finish the previous [Chasing the Cursed Mask]. Nikki and Momo are sent back to the main stage to give the Carnival Mask to Morda. Walking up to Morda on the east side of the island automatically starts a cutscene.

► Dialogue

• Nikki: Morda, we found the Carnival Mask! • Morda: Wow, it's my first time holding the Mask. It feels so heavy... Everyone was right—you two really can do anything! • Morda: It must've been hard to find the Carnival Mask. I don't know how to thank you enough... • Momo: It wasn't too bad... Nikki and Momo shared all the things that happened while searching for the Carnival Mask with Morda... • Morda: I bet it was thrilling! But... did Valenbo really say she's going to start a new trend with her Esseling-themed designs? • Nikki: Yep, she's made up her mind. She's not going to care about what other think anymore and is going all in on creating more Esseling-themed outfits. • Morda: Really? That's awesome. If only I... if only I had that kind of courage... • Nikki: Hmm? What did you say? • Nikki: By the way, we have something else to discuss. It's about the Carnival Mask... • Momo: Speaking of which, I came up with a new name for the Mask—The Great Wickedly Kind Mask! • Morda: Wickedly Kind... Uh, that's kind of a long name... Why did it need a new one? • Nikki: We think that when the Faewish Sprites wear it, the Carnival Mask is more than just the Cursed Mask from the rumors. • Nikki: While it's true that bad things happened to everyone who wore it, each of them also saw their truest inner desires because of it. • Nikki: Some let go of their obsessions, some rediscovered their original purpose, and others gained courage or strengthened their resolve... • Momo: Exactly! It causes chaos while also helping people! That's why it's super fitting to call it the Great Wickedly Kind Mask! • Morda: That name's way too long to remember, but yeah, from what you've said, it does seem to be true... • Morda: But, how could the Mask show its wearer their truest desires? Is this for real? How does that even work? • Nikki: We're not sure yet. Maybe we can ask Moosda when he wakes up. • Nikki: Oh yeah, Morda, hold the Carnival Mask tight. It flies away easily.

Oopsies! Our girl Nikki forgot to tell the little Faewish Sprite that the mask likes to take off on its own. I was thinking it was a little obvious that we don't want this mask flying around again. Morda did have his side complaint about not having courage which was alarming as hell given what we've seen the mask do already. Nikki was just like, "what?"

So the mask takes off and the group has to chase down Morda this time.

► Dialogue

• Momo: It's happening again! Arghhh! Great Wickedly Kind Mask, just you wait! I will definitely catch you again!

Momo is not the mood for this mask to be giving Faewish Sprites any good hallucinations. We need to save the grand climax of the Wish Carnival Party because that's way more important than just one individual Faewish Sprite getting their wish. Morda's just flying around the statue in the middle of the main stage, so it's not to difficult for Nikki to track him down.

When Nikki and Momo finally reach Morda, they get transported to an extremely vibrant music world.

► Dialogue

• Momo: Darn it, where did that mask go? Nikki, where are we now? • Nikki: Looks like some Faewish Sprites are performing over there. Let's go check it out.

Make sure that you can hear the sound if you haven't been listening to the new music and voice over already. The party beats inside of the world that Nikki gets sucked into are really fun. The platforms also make sounds, etc. This area also has a really cool glitch effect that you can take pictures with while you're there.

After walking a little ways in, Nikki runs into a scene being displayed off of the path that she can listen in on.

► Dialogue

• Morda: Lala, lalalala... • Morda's Dad: Honey, come listen! Morda's singing is beautiful! • Morda's Mom: I know! just hearing it feels like my while being is headled. • Morda's Mom: Kid, you must keep singing. We've got your back. • Morda: Mm! I'll keep singing, and one day... one day I'll become a world-famous star!

Looks like we're being faced with Morda's failed ambitions as a world-famous singer on this trip.

Going along the platform Nikki comes across another scene. This time it's between Morda and Moosda.

► Dialogue

• Moosda: Morda, come quick! I talked to the Faewish Sprite at the Wish Celebration Center, and he agreed to let us perform together on stage! • Morda: I'm so nervous. Moosda, how's my hair? Is my cloak okay? And... • Moosda: Alright, calm down. If you're too nervous, just imagine the audience as Wishing Orbs. • Morda: Don't be ridiculous! Okay... shall we get ready to hit the stage?

Our poor Morda can sing really well, but we're starting to find out that he also has stage fright that is keeping him from being able to feel comfortable performing in front of a bunch of people.

► Dialogue

• Morda: Just imagine the audience as Wishing Orbs... as Wishing Orbs... Wishing Orbs... • Morda: Lala, lalalala... • Confused Audience: Is he singing? Why does it sound so shaky? It's not great, is it? • Impatient Audience: Yeah, what's going on? Does he even know how to sing? • Morda: Why is this happening? The stage... the stage is terrifying...

Yes, the stage is terrifying when faced with bad customers, Morda.

This is the last little neon sign scene that we get to see before running back into Morda at the end of the course.

► Dialogue

• Nikki: Morda? Wait... were you the one we heard singing earlier? • Morda: That's right! Are you here to watch my performance? This is my big debut after becoming a superstar, the moment my dreams come true. I'm going to give it my all! • Momo: Performance? A superstar? Is this really Morda? Where the heck are we...? • Nikki: I remember us trying to remove Morda's Mask to stop the chaos, but the moment we touched it, we ended up here... • Nikki: And Morda just mentioned dreams coming true again... So, could this place be...? • Momo: An illusion the Mask created for Morda! • Momo: No wonder everyone who wore the Mask seemed so lost in their "dreams". Who would want to wake up from something like this? But... it's all fake... • Morda: What's fake? What are you talking about?

↪ Encourage him to take off the Mask

• Nikki: You should try taking off the Mask and see for yourself. Everything you're seeing here is created by the Mask. It's not real. • Morda: An illusion? No... even if it is an illusion, I don't care! • Morda: Without the Mask, I'm just a sensitive, cowardly person. I can't be a superstar, and I can't step onto my dream stage! No, I don't want this! • Nikki: Maybe... would you be willing to tell us what happened? Your singing is so captivating I bet anyone who hears it would applaud and cheer for you. • Morda: Really? Aside from my parents and Moosda, no one's ever praised me like that before. • Morda: When I was little, everyone said I had a talent for singing, but the truth is, I'm not suited for performing. The spotlight just won't accept me. • Morda: I still remember the first time I stepped out onto a stage. The nervousness gripped my throat so tightly, I couldn't even say a single word, let alone sing. • Morda: Even though Moosda kept encouraging me to try again, deep down, I knew I'd never be able to stand on stage and bring joy to an audience like a true superstar... • Nikki: Besides, you've already done it! I just know, you didn't freeze or tremble with nerves. • Morda: It's all thanks to the Carnival Mask. There's no way I could've done it on my own. • Morda: What's that? • Momo: That's cheering. The audience is chanting your name! • Morda: W-what? Are you saying that everyone... everyone heard me singing? • Nikki: Yes, while the world created by the Mask is an illusion, I don't think that it's entirely a bad thing. All those cheers, really are for you. • Nikki: Take off the Mask. I'm certain you can still stand on stage with courage and be the brightest superstar without it. • Morda: You're right, Nikki. No matter what happens, I should give it a try!

Morda bravely took off the Carnival Mask, and his figure vanished from the Illusion Zone...

Morda thought that he couldn't perform at all without the mask because he was too cowardly. After hearing cheer emanating from huge phonograph horns, his mind starts to change.

After Nikki and Momo leave the Illusion Zone and go back to the real world, they're greeted to cheers for Morda. He did it!

► Dialogue

• Faewish Sprite Audience: Wow, that's amazing, Morda! • Faewish Sprite Audience: Why have we never heard him sing before? He's great!

While the cheering continues, the group approaches Morda on stage.

► Dialogue

• Morda: I'm not dreaming, am I? Are they really calling my name?... • Momo: Of course it's not a dream! If you don't believe me, pinch yourself and see if it hurts.

Morda reached out and pinched Momo hard...

• Morda: Oh no... I don't feel anything. • Momo: Waaah! Of course not! You pinched me, not yourself! • Morda: They're all... They're calling my name! • Morda: The stage isn't rejecting me. It's a miracle... • Nikki: It's because you chose the stage and accepted it. The moment you wore the Mask, you didn't shy away. You chose to embrace your deepest desire. • Nikki: Now, answer the call. Whether it's the stage in front of your or the Faewish Sprite audience, they're all waiting for you. • Momo: Alright! Go for it, Morda! • Morda: Thank you all for your applause, and thank you for liking my song. • Morda: I...I'm a coward. i get scared of the stage, scared of being in crowded places. When everyone's eyes are on me, my mind goes completely blank from nerves. • Morda: I used to think there was nothing wrong with avoiding things, but I don't think that way anymore! • Morda: I'll try to get used to the stage. I won't run away anymore... because, I really do love singing. • Morda: I hope that one day, everyone in the Wishing Woods will hear my voice, and I can stand on a bigger stage, bringing joy to even more people. • Morda: I don't know when that day will come. It might be years, it might be decades... maybe even a hundred years... But I'll keep on trying, and I'll keep being brave! • Moosda: Am i seeing things? Is that Faewish Sprite on stage Morda?

Morda used his time with the crowd to tell them that he is gonna keep working on his dreams instead of giving up out of cowardice. Moosda can't believe his eyes.

To be continued in Part 2.
