Okay, may as well make this official. I am going to be taking another break from the story for a bit. But don't worry, it's not going to be another six month gap I promise! ^^;

The holidays are right around the corner and are going to be a bit hectic with my job at the post office, as you can expect, and I'm going to be busy with that.

I deeply apologize to you all again for having to wait so long and making this friggin' arc last potentially two years, but it what it is. Adulting is hard kids, don't do it. I do want to make this up to you all somehow though...

Anyway, thank you all so much for sticking with me through all of this even now. And I hope to continue moving towards the future with you all!

Happy holidays!

Tis the Internet Sir, Freeze. "Down Bad" be'th in abundance! Especially for characters like squirrel girl.

Look I get it. But I can still be surprised about it.

-Mod

[thenewfuture]

To explain: Squirter girl is a Marvel superhero who has gained recent popularity because of her inclusion in Marvel rivals due to her sexy looks and adorable personality. She is not a full squirrel, but has squirrel features and the power to control squirrel. And Thanos is her bitch.

I know who Squirrel Girl is, I just didn’t think people were that down bad for her…!

-Mod

[thenewfuture]

....are they talking about the people who want to fuck squirrel girl?

WHAT! THE! FUCK?!

-Mod

[thenewfuture]

Who wants to meet the furry fucker?

……

I have been thinking in my head, nearly all day at work wondering who or what you could be talking about with this and I am coming up short.

[thenewfuture]

Catch that kid!

Teeheehee-hahaha!~

*The Monokuma girl runs around, going into another room with the others not too far behind*

Hey, get back here you brat! Y-You're going to tell us how to get to your-

-bosssss..... Woah...

Wowie, wow...

Eh?

Oh...

*The room they find themselves in after chasing the Monokuma kid, appears to be a factory of some sort. Machines at work creating Monokumas and other such weapons*

I see. This must be where Monaca makes all her Monokumas.

That makes sense. F-Figures she'd have another one after me and Komaru found the original one a while back.

Hmph! I say we wreck this place and torch it to the ground to get back at her.

No, that's not a good idea. A place this valuable to her has to have some sort of significance. I say we check it out for a bit and look around.

That's probably for the best. It's something Kyoko would definitely do if she were here.

Aww, maaaaan! Do we have to? That could take forever...!

Oh quit whining, will you? We won't be here for too long.

Let's just hurry up and get this done with.

INVESTIGATION: START!

(Side: Touko)

I was thinking about the fact that our powers as bots allowed us to give Chiaki all kinds of cool gifts while she fought the Despair viruses. And it got me wondering about the Utsuroshima KG, which is a virtual simulation. Could we basically pull a Survivor and use some PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS on our enemies? Because the idea of them getting chased by a Chain Chomp or having no bones and being thrown like a hammer would be hilarious. It would only be in the virtual world obviously, but it's just something I've had on my mind.

We are a bit of a while before the Utsuroshima KG. And I don’t want to spoil too much, but I’ll just say this.

I don’t think you will. The KG being in a virtual world is meant to be a spoiler, no one aside from Void should know that it is. And doing all sorts of crazy stunts like those could break the immersion.

I know Mikado has shown to teleport, float, and cast Fire spells, but those were easily explained as he is the Ultimate Wizard there. So sorry to say, don’t get your hopes up. ^^;

Yeah Toko, I feel in regards to the other Warriors of Hope; they were all tricked by Monaca and Junko as well and while we may have issues with Kyosuke; even he understands that those 4 were stuck in a position where they could only turn to Junko - so I think for Masaru, Jataro, Kotoko and Nagisa, we should at least consider therapy with the 4 of them.

Yeah, well, we can think about therapy for the runts after we get through this place.

So let's get a move on, and no more scary and creepy talk coming out of you. Got it?

I wasn't trying to be scary. I was just listing out possible scenarios on what could inevitably happen to us.

Eeeegghhh...! S-Stoooop, pleeeeeaase...! I'm already freaked out as isssss...! I swear, I would literally die if something unexpected popped out of-

*WHAM!*

BOOGA!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

UwwaaaaahhhhAAAAA!!! WHAT THE HEEELLL?!

*As if on cue, a Monokuma kid, came bursting out a door on the group's path and shock everyone*

Teeheeheeheehee!~ *Then she ran off*

Haaaah, haaaah, oooh-haaahah-hoooo.... My heart....beating so fast..... I....I nearly....nearly died that time...

M-Me too.... Haaaah... I'm never used to that no how many times it happens... Ugh....

How rude of her! To suddenly appear without warning like that. And then to run away like a coward.

Yeah... This twerp needs to learn some manners.

Get back here you, rotten brat!

*Touko and her group attempt to pursue the Monokuma girl*

[thenewfuture]

You got a soft spot for the runts, don't you Toko?

Hmph! Stop it, no I don't. And don't get used to this sort of treatment, rugrat. This alliance is only temporary.

Okay...

.......

'.....I do see myself in that little squirt though...'

[thenewfuture]

I vote we sentence Monaca to therapy

I don't think any amount of therapy can fix that broken brat. But if others want to take a shot at it, they can be my guest.

Are we...broken too...?

N-No, you're just...

....

......

*sigh* Nothing that....can't be fixed...okay? *Touko pats Jataro's head*

Mhmm... Okay...

[thenewfuture]

lobotomy could be considered an SCP simulator, Ruina's a an rpg with psychological horror elements related to said Simulator, and Limbus a gacha rpg related to said RPG and Simulator.

That said I've only played limbus, but I do know some elements of Ruina..like "Love Town" and its horror

That sounds like quite a concept…

Unfortunately, gacha games aren’t my thing, and I’m not quite fond of horror media so this probably isn’t for me.

But I imagine it can be intriguing for other people.

I've meant to bring it up before, but earlier in November, Joshscorcher announced that he had finally locked in his candidates for the 2024 fails list. And also mentioned that, just like last year, EA was not on the list. What a world we live in where companies frequently out-evil EA

We are truly in the Darkest timeline.

-Mod

[thenewfuture]

hey mod ever hear of a gacha game called, Limbus Company? It's related to two other games Labotomy Corporation and Library Of Ruina

I have not, sorry. ^^;

-Mod

[thenewfuture]

So like, when you guys *do* defeat Monaca, what's the plan afterwards?

I don't know...? Arrest her, and see if we can stop the killing game over there on our end? That's what I'm thinking....

Keep up, brats...

We're keeping up just fine, Miss Big Glasses.

You think Big Sis and everyone else will be okay?

I speak from experience to know that Komaru will be fine. She's been through way worse around here.

This place is pretty big though... We could get lost easily...

Huh?

Forever and ever, and ever after that... Wandering aimlessly for the rest of our days...

....Stop that...

Minutes will turn into hours, and hours will turn into days, which will then turn into weeks, months, and years...

Stop it....

We'll probably starve and our tummies will shrink and cave in from hungerrrrr...

Cut it out, I mean it....!

And then we'll probably be nothing but skin and boooones! And then they'll turn to dust leaving us nothing but scrambled up piles of skin and flab and stuff...!

Uuuwaaaaaahhhh! Make him stop, make him stooooooop!

OH! MY GOD! Will you please, shut up already! I can barely hear myself think!

[thenewfuture]

A Chiaki plushie with a knife!

…I am conflicted…

[thenewfuture]

Who wants a chainsaw?

Nooooooooo!

[thenewfuture]

Who wants a free Chiaki plushie?

Meeeee!
