AU ENZO OH MY GOD HES

Saber

Stained glass star :"The precipice of truth. The first outrage and the final answer. Focus dear gnoll, for the moment we've been dying to see crawls near." Action : anchor Marston in the visions, offering him a small wisp of light to guide him while manifesting more shards of Enzo's persona into Wolf.

Schrödingerz Lion

Paradox Star to Marston: You possibly are on the right track...Wolf seems to have a different notion of what events have occured....perhaps to shield himself from an awful reality they want to forget? Action: Allow Marston to break through Wolf's and/or their belief of the events that occurred to reveal the truth...breaking these contradictions

Randastasius

Inspiration Star: Dear Gnoll, sometimes the truth isn’t based in what you perceive as reality, rather the “dreams” of forgotten memories….

Protean

Advisor Star: "Mmm. Why would he use the same name, do you mean? Isn't it odd? Compared to the disfavored child, who possesses a name, the Lupine Guardian is merely named after his species. Being a Hero has damaged him, contact with the gods has twisted him from his normal state."

Gatlin

Nexus Star: We have to keep going, we must see the truth, The REAL truth, even if it's too painful to handle. *Assist Paradox Star to keep Marston on the right direction so him, Wolf and us can finally see what actually transpire.* Nexus Star: I'm sorry Wolf.

rawr7

Contention Star To: Marston "The Gods eat souls-specifically, the story of their lives. And what is the most tastiest of all souls but those of heroes? And what do you taste like, my sweet succulent soldier?" Action: Give him a lil lick.

Star Ringer

Winter Star: Even horrors may be remembered fondly. Let us recall triumph, comfort, and love above pain, fear, and death. Let pain fade, while triumph grows with each recollection, each retelling. Yet time makes a fool of recall, a farce of record. Receive then, our Blessing, and behold both Memory and Reality. Be thou, Marston, our seer of Truth, that thou might not only Perceive, but also Know. Action: Give Marston the power to see and clearly remember both Wolf's recollection, and the truth of what actually occurred.

pastorp

Movie Star To: Marston "Listen, you need to read that elf Unibel's mind RIGHT NOW! Focus on the name Actias!" Lights, Camera, Action: Teleport Marston to Unibel. There's more to this dream-somehow, Wolf is recalling conversations he couldn't possibly have heard. Which means we may be able to glean some info on the blue elf's plan from this past version of the elf.

cherrydad

HUNGRY STAR: "Just a taste, a taste of who you were. Sweet and juicy."

Monu

Peace Star: "Hmm yes... how productive this trip down memory lane was for us."

MorianderQ

SLOTH STAR: This sudden attack of the Lost might be a manifestation of Wolf-dude's subconscious. The dreamer must relent and give themselves over to a deeper level for us to get to the truth. So rest soundly, don't fight it, let it run its course. There is nothing that can be done about what has already come to pass, my dude.

RiceballSama

Heroism Star: "Remember Marston for why you're here, why you engage with Wolf in this instance. He's not merely some vehicle to peruse history, he's still our friend, and one of the many links to the turning point in history. No matter how tragic a soul that he may be..."

Robert Smith

Windchime Star(?): Wolf, things seem wrong because, I think... Red has been replaying your history together for a long, long time. To try and save you. Please, if you know anything of what his goals might have been, especially towards the end, we need to know. To save everyone, including Cherry.

Fe5ter

Lodestone Star: "Need company, Champ? There's been something that perplexes Us about your [Axe Lord] JOB. The unique JOB's cursed weapon had numerous opportunities to hijack your mind while you were debilitated within the Dungeon of Education or undergone psychiatric recovery yet it behaved more like a safeguarding 'Blessed Weapon'." "We theorized that Maeklynn imparted both her LOVE and a horn onto the unknown metals used to forged your Axe." —————— ((Magnetically attract a small blunt metallic object to collide with Kurt's hand, thus stopping the Canid from dosing once more on Lost Blood.))

Blade G Shepherd

Desires Star: To Marston: "Hard at work trying to find the answers you seek my gnoll companion. Let your powers of perception....as well as your dick be your guide." Action: Everytime Marston gains another piece of the puzzle to what happened grant him a significant perception and intelligence boost. As well as this, his dick gets harder with each new piece gained.

Fe5ter

It's imperative that we do a wellness check on Kurt to see if he's not spiraling.

Alan

Librarian Star: (To Marston) The visions before are indeed those of endings, but this is of the beginning. While everything may seem as a dream, that is not the case here. After all, it's not a dream if it's real.

Becquerel

Fisherman's Star: (To the Intermission Team) Boyos!! Oh it's wonderful to be with you again! If my calculation are correct, you will have our Ring! Please, all four of you must escape and strip completely naked, all of you! It's for....Lost prevention reasons and such, yes. Caitano and Unibel, put your hands together in prayer, Crusher, flex and bounce your pecs. Lyre, your sexy hairless small muscled body....pose and....please play with your cock for us....all for your own sakes of course....yes. ^__^

ItsHypnoFuckBees

Memories Star: "Marston, you managed to find the memory of Wolf's true name! We were going to share that with everyone, though... could you remember to tell everyone that?"

Asher Heart

Love that big green ass!! 🍑💚

Hinner

Star of Lost Causes: What -is- wrong about this memory, Wolf? What do you remember differently?

HimboBarret

Hedonism Star To Archdruid Boss after this is all said and done I would want nothing more than to spend eternity with you! Have this as a sign of my devotion! Action: give Archdruid a hedonism Star fleshlight/plush toy.

deersarecool

Velvet Star: "I once again have to try to tell you guys: you can't get comfortable. Bee has joined the Ministry of Sin and is on his way here, Lost and all."

comfyjake

Yes! I love a mass corruption!! Everyone find some cock and go wild!

Dark627

Dragon star: (To wolf) you are a very strong man but you can slap marston more with better hands. Let see if we can find out more info about the past Lol. *give wolf some dragon hands and let him spread marston ass wide*

Robert Smith

Very late update thoughts because COVID kicking my ass :’) I like that we start by seeing that Phyxos, whilst he presents as a happy go lucky goofball, is in fact a God of Chaos. Given enough power – and had he not become isolated from the world due to what happened to his friends – he might be just as much of a menace as the rest of the Pantheon, if not more. And also, really interested to learn about why Gods need enforcers given they present themselves as all powerful. Looking back, the times we saw the Gods achieve something (Frederik vs his kids, Drom and Dr Cleric) it was indeed in one of their Temples. It raises interesting thoughts on why Frederik wanted kids, beyond his obsession with fatherhood – having avatars to your power probably further enables the power of the relative God in turn (also interesting to note that Sylvia is trans, which is cool). Certainly, it’s what Phyxos seems to be thinking about Zenion here – seeing the power that is being given to him by The Lost, whose only purpose is to worship him, which in turn lets Zenion create more Lost, creating a self-sustaining loop. It also gives us an insight as to why there were SO MANY power sources when Cherry went to the heart of his/Zenion’s power – every Lost soul is essentially empowering him. Perhaps this is why the Gods are so interested in Cherry – they want to be able to have that power of manifestation that Zenion and Cherry possess, potentially at the cost of the people of Vidora. I’m sure they wouldn’t hesitate to turn everyone into Templars, if it gave them more strength. I wonder how much Frederik actually cared for Eryndra, given his obsession with Enzo’s lineage, only taking over Port Zero after the failed Zero Four – but it does perhaps give us an idea as to how the Curly party were in such desperate straits having been accused of murder of the Grand Priestess AND mother of Frederik’s children. We also get an idea of the timeline – we have to assume we are at least a couple of months before the Intermission right now. And now we see Wolf entering into this timeline via (presumably) Ruin – rather confirming that his power gives him insight into ‘failed’ (or at least reset) timelines. Can’t say much about the Frederik vs Kurt fight other than it is very cute to finally see Kurt at his ‘peak’, as it were – before the feelings of insecurity clearly weakened his resolve heavily, and led to the schism between him and Wolf (and especially Cherry). I like how he tail wag whilst being praised. But also, this scene I think confirms a thought that has been bubbling for me for a while – Loop 0 is NOT the timeline that our current cast lived through. It makes sense to a scene from earlier, where we saw the picture Wolf drew of Red – at the time I thought differently, but it makes it clear that the reason OUR Wolf’s memory of the drawing was of such a tired Red is presumably he had already looped a number of times by that point – seeking out a better ending than the one I assume is to come. It also makes it clear why Kurt is still recorded as a ‘Hero’ – it was his destiny to become one, until Red futzed with the timelines. It does make me reconsider a lot, other than one thing – Red has clearly already made a contract with Zenion by this point, perhaps even giving him the power needed to return as a Beast, and start the endless cycle of power gain. Perhaps this is the ‘start’ point of the loops going forward – though it is clear the loops reset to different points dependent on ‘when’ the Prophecy became impossible. Cute to see Kurt being a whore, Red and Wolf being cuties, and Dr Hyundel rather revealing why Dr Cleric is so obsessed with Wolf when he becomes restored. And hey! The fourth member of the Zero Four arrives with Cossar. I fear that the denouement of Loop 0 is coming soon – things are going FAR too wrong for the Hero scenes we have seen before…

Xeralex

Dawn star: Wait, Kurt won?! Then this means... could this be the very first "Reset"...!?! (Not any action this time, just commentary from a hunch i have, in case we are about to witness the first time Red used his powers to reset time)

JUST NOTICED THAT DETAIL ON SYLVIA.... HOLY WOW

Rodney Talon

Iwapele (to Marston) How d'yu 'el, teach.(soft haze of light appears around the elder satyr), need to remember to share sighting him with Cleric. Nothing of this era seems familiar or recent? F'r destink (Wolf/Enzo and Frederik's clothing glows) these two here must tell something. Or (makes the divine identity of the storm visible) (to Wolf, Frederik, and Marston) Can we put 'r 'eds together for clearing this for understanding Action: In addition to the obvious name hints as this is all a vision and past viewings and energy want to see if I can work something more broad here to better sync and synergize my powers/domain to with Marston to synchro with Present!Enzo, Past!Wolf, and the whole "scene vision" strengthening all the echoes so this is an experience of the event, not a recording off the fidelity of Enzo/Wolf. a virtual replay us all seeing and knowing and recognizing what the other can and does.... TL;DR Metroid scanner augmented vision mode with the database source between psyches of Martson, Wolf, and Enzo plus POV vision of the Marston if there and Stars/me and any greater power sharing my power with them can give.

Rodney Talon

Darnit I just thought they presupposed boy but born girl. How is the Vidora better at MtF than the Ark FtM?

rawr7

I think the parents are assuming Sylvia was going to be a boy but came out a girl. Also, I could have sworn Sylvia was the older sibling.

WorgenRouge

I THINK they're calling the child SylviaN because they don't know the gender and are assuming it's a boy. They don't exactly have an ultrasound (there might be in Na lamhan but Voltranis and his wife strike me as rather traditional, not ones to use technology if they can help it)

Just a Beagle

Uh. Maybe just maybe. Sylvia is simply MTF trans like how Levi is FTM trans I don't think it's any more complicated than that, guys, this feels a little silly.

Ironstream

Envy Star: Its good to see you two getting closer.. never let him go, if you know whats good for you. Add on to this as Envy Star: Make the tongue green

Rodney Talon

We saw Levi naked and sign born female and so on. We've seen Sylvia naked as well. No scars, signs of implants, remnant male gonads or physiology, etc. And yeah I thought she was the older one as well. Its clear she's the brains of the outfit. Kid was not necessarily dumb but I will not be surprised if another neurodivergent happening with him considering they put the laurel and cock on him and got him super possessed. The simple explanation is "didn't know the sex of the baby and assumed" or more common and likely result. Transitioning is rarer. Especially as its established form alteration is much cruder here and costly outside of us and the lost. So if she's a transwoman she's immaculately so in a world where MRIs and cars are lost tech. By contrast the Ark has direct contact with the gods and highly advanced tech and archives plus tech to alter a person into living ooze and an entire perpetuating sapient species and.... Levi has the form and signs of contemporary and thus likely/rl FtM transition or fashion/expression (weight and hair distribution, vagina, likely cosmetic mods to face and tail to better make the impression he wishes, top surgery scarring or evocative markings) This is when the ark has demonstrably highly advanced communication and cybernetic tech and seeming computers and more. If Sylvia can perfectly become a woman in shape as to just psyche/gender, why can't Levi become full sire? Levi who, understandably like Dom, holds common Vidoran society in contempt and sees it as much more primitive and misinformed. If its magic he has the direct favor of god and is a loyal servant and given plenty of info access. bodymods and access to forbidden/limited tech is already something offered for servants of the gods. Why Sylvia get girdle of gender change and Levi have to mess HRT, likely infertilize and experience a number of psychological side effects and increase cancer risk and aging effects. All this with likely highly specialized drugs at a key development time in environment that must parcel space and time. This service would need administration and monitoring and maintenance of medical experts. Transitioning is expensive on the individual and by social scale if resources not already well prepared/included with all other resources (part of the pushback IRL, the need for specialists, drugs, and medical care is expert hour and rarefied resource expensive). I assumed Levi's body not just personal representation/statement but world building, much like the 'marriage' ceremony of the Zero Four or us seeing the flashback with Cleric, Wolf, Red, and Bee in manor. Particularly as Levi isn't particularly modest wrt to body (as fits a dog, and ranger/cleric/bard) but does NOT like being feminized (so likely wants to be fully male/man) where the penis? why keep a vagina? Even in the libatious post recovery Levi is all business with a body language that communicates a dislike of touch or openness sexual liberalism. Not direct line to tranness (again he thinks surrounded by heretic hicks) but if told me this was a sign of a young adult man with body image issues (or the remnants of some from adolescence) no problem. None of this is with Sylvia even while royalty and agent of mad gods. Though could be any number of reasons for this difference and lack of signs between them (she's older, she's more acclimated to the environment, she's mostly even in a hostile situation with familiar company, she's experienced as leader/politician/face as to Levi who is more fed/blackops/spy). and can still fit. Just considerably more extraneous. By contrast if we learned Milo was born female that could fit and is set up. Ignoring starting cherub aesthetics AND that he was a sort of foil/alt to Curly who was originally presented as possibly intersexed/hermaphroditic/androgynous, it was explicit Milo's malehood was literally given to him as a prank and acts and influences outside his own true sexuality or inclinations ( how little exists) as to how the gods design/believe their templar's malehood should be employed (though word out on how he urinates). We later have scenes indicating this is very much a common indulgence/use of mortals that fall deep in their clutches (Frederick and Mord with Wolf) flattening their personalities to fit pleasing functions or roles or images. Maybe that's what happened? a more high level ritual/miracle, where the older brother lost his seniority and gained his younger one's masculinity as trade to act in "protection" or better replace the lost female leadership or just because Sylvain wanted to be a girl or like mom or needed to grow up fast?

Rodney Talon

Iwapele's action would like to sync/tandom with this.

NethGooRat

Midnight Star: (To Wolf) Did/do you even know where Red's powers come from? Or the nature of his patron. We'll tell you, just ask.
