Part 40

Update 39: DANTE. TAG.


Okay, Kalpa it is. GRARGH.




"Well, not even he can stop our master's plans now."
Grargh, you creepy furry thing, get some damn pants!











Access granted!



See?


The floor is all cell-like. It is getting even more organic now. Notice the veins in the walls.


"you need a certain amount of strength, luck or magic to enter each door"
Treasures be there. Only the Luck one is properly accesible right now, though. Shall have to visit the kalpa later.

"The door up ahead is one of them, if you are going in, you better be prepared."
Unfortunately, the levels are too low to properly advance through here






See?


Luck is the only stat that is high enough to explore the freaking locked doors at the moment.


"If you're unlucky, you won't even be able to set foot inside the room. Even if you manage to get in, there's no telling where you'll end up..."
The luck part has many teleports. Does not matter now, though. While the main part is accesible, some of the doors with treasures and stuff are blocked.[b]


"So, tell me... Are you feelin' lucky?"
[b]Punk. Make my day.
And durr, yes.




And it opens.


Red exclamation mark. Teleport.
Forgot to take a pic of the part with the door that leads to the next floor opened, but it does not matter much. It was directly in the north.



There are doors in this kalpa that open or close depending on the current "alignment", they check up to see if your Reason is Light or Dark, or maybe it is because of the mastered magatamas. I don't know.


But this one only opens if you are neutral. That's good. Inside is...


The most useless fucking Shady Broker ever.


"How about you, would you be interested in buying it?
This stone, called a DeathStone is supposed to bring death to you. But who knows? Maybe you'll find a use for it."
There is no way in hell that I would need to acquire extra death stones. There are enough of those to suit my needs, even in a single playthrough.



Holy hell NO.


But due to votes in the IRC channel, YES.




If Insert was Tingle, he would be writhing in pain right now.


100k for a single DeathStone.
God damn it.



JUST LOOK WHO IS THERE. IS IT? CAN IT BE? HOW?




No, it is not Heeho. Just a random Jack Frost. But what the hell is a random Jack Frost doing there?

IT IS A MYSTERY.



CRAP.



Well, shit, there he is.


"I had a feeling I'd see you again."
Why the hell do I read his dialog with Harrison Ford in Star Wars' voice in my mind?


"I am not here to esplain all the details, but I bet you've already got some idea."


"Why? Who knows...? But you are not dumb enough to play into his hand, are you?"
Uhhh....



"That's your only option."


Durr.


"Okay, take one step beyond this point and..."




He'll be nice enough to summon Insert's Persona for him! Isn't that awesome?


"LET'S ROCK!"
Hey, you forgot HEAVEN OR HELL!

Dante Tag. Part 1



"To get past here, you need to turn on all the switches first. Alright, I'm gonna count to three. That's how long you've got to come up with a plan."

Dante Tag, second part. The bastard resets the switches every time he touches the main





Argh. Nothing was going to be that easy, right?


Well, there's the map. Let's see how this goes.


Dante Tag. Third Part



Dante tag. Fourth part.



Hey this looks easy.
Dante Tag, fifth part

CRAP.


Let's pretend that that did not actually happen. ADVANCIN'.



sCREW YOU.





So Dante teleports. Fucker.







Grumble. Still, could be worse. And since the death restored the fincances...

And after that, there is a FIGHT.

Dante GOES DOWN





Well. Shit. Dante clearly had something up his sleeve.


That will need a doctor. Or maybe Daisoujou.



Or not.








Oh hey, free candelabrum.






Hopefully with less tag. Maybe some more stabby, but LESS TAG.


A new Kalpa's opening is near. More candelabra are needed, but it is near. And that means: NEW PEEPHOLE.


Aradia's backstory







Grargh.

Next time: Ikebukuro.
