MECHANICS

DICE USED | PLAYER: 1d10 & 1d12
DICE USED | BOSS: 1d8, 1d10, 2d12, 1d20

ROLL & DMG BASICS:

• DMG will be calculated as percentages.
• Debuffs & Buffs will be multiplicative.
  • Ex. Dice roll = 6 w/50% DMG buff (P1, self buff), 20% DMG buff (P2, party buff), 20% Core buff
    1.5 x 1.2 x 1.2 = 2.88 ➔ (2.88 x 100) - 100% = 188% buff
    6 x 188% = 17.28%
  • Ex. Dice roll = 6 w/188% DMG buff & 10% debuff
    1.5 x 1.2 x 1.2 = 2.88 ➔ (2.88 x 100) - 100% = 188% buff
    (1.88 x .1) - 1.88 = 1.692
    6 x 169% = 16.152%
  • ...percent calculator for brains that are small OR trust in naru to math correctly
  • also YES we are rounding to the nearest whole percentage because fuck decimals and even I have my limits
• DMG will be additive.
  • Ex. Dice (1) = 5, Dice (2) = 8
  5 + 8 = 14% DMG
• Coin flip will use to decide half or full DMG (situational).

DODGING & HITTING:

• Roll 1d10 to Hit, 4+ (gen. success)
  • Possible scenario of needing to beat the boss 1d10 or 1d20 roll for full successful hit
• Roll 1d12 for DMG, minimum DMG is 1% (or 0.5% if failed coin toss)
  • As above, effectiveness may be influenced by coin toss
  • For flavor/fun, severity of DMG can be decided by 1d20 roll

!! DISCLAIMER !!

If Bogsy comes for any of our lives in a way that is detrimental for the boss battle experience then I may adjust values on the fly or make liberal use of the coin flip. My goal is to make the experience enjoyable for everyone and deliver as much as I can. I will always encourage what is "funny" and FAFO :)

SPECIAL SKILLS

---

KING OF SONGS ELEGY

This special skill immediately triggers after Corbenik is Data Drained by either a Damage Core or by someone with a bracelet given to them by Cubia or Zelkova. Upon its activation, everyone will momentarily become disorientated and lose their sense of individuality; they’ll believe to be a part of one of her songs—the embodiment of the feeling that she is trying to express (to be linked at the time it happens). It will end once she casts Cruel Exploitation and is unavoidable.

CRUEL EXPLOITATION

Corbenik's signature ability where she will dig her roots deep into the ground and burrow them into a single target, draining them of their HP and SP to recover her own. The damage values will equal that of which she recovers. Due to the effect of King of Songs Elegy, Corbenik will always target the person with the current highest HP/SP and will always hit.

DMG = 2d12+1d6, max 30% / min 3%
( will not be subjected to the coin toss )

TOT MUSICA

Uta's LVL 100 skill unique to her. After performing a song during battle, she will summon a larger than life demon that will join her in battle and will follow her command. Tot Musica will have two modes depending on what kind of song she is currently singing. A gentle song will heal her, while an upbeat song will cause damage to the party (whether it's AOE or single target will depend on the flow of the fight). The effects, whether its healing or attacking, will persist as long as she is singing. In order to switch to the other mode/issue a new command, she must change the song she's singing to fulfill the criteria.

Heal = 1d8, max 8% | DMG = 1d12, max 12%
( DMG value may be subjected to the coin toss )

YOU YOURSELF DO NOT BECOME A MONSTER

[tot]

[ once the group warps into the area they are met with nothing. no sound. no light. no way to distinguish which way is up or which way is down. a VӨID. did they even enter into an area at all? anyone would be free of blame if they began to doubt if they had entered the correct keywords into the gate considering how different everything is. gone is the peaceful and quiet atmosphere that provided a strange sort of comfort, and in its place is an oppressive, suffocating weight of somberness and emptiness. a sensation that evokes the feeling of being forced to say farewell to someone before you're ready and knowing you'll never see again. while the silence is deafening, eventually there is a song that can be heard softly in the background from a distance. it's a familiar voice; one that everyone knows or has come to know. the darkness aside, it will be impossible to locate the source of the voice; calling out to it will provide no reaction either. the song will just keep on being sung over and over on loop. ]

Take me outta here. I've got no drive to keep on.
Just say I'm dead. Spilling all my doom and gloom.
Just say I'm dead. Drooping all my doom and gloom.

full lyrics (translated)

Just say I'm dead.
Spilling all my doom and gloom. Drooping all my doom and gloom.
Days go by, though never steady living like a zombie save the random tinge that's kinda girly.
That's your warning, head's up! You won't get much more from me so tattered up in taboo, you'd think me dirty.
But no, I'm here, gone and no will to claim.
Hey Mister, I'm losing it. Can't you see—
I. Can't. Stand. This!
Why don't you screw off, lugging that crud of a dream that you waste time with.
Hey Mister, I'll gurgle it if I need—
I. Can't. Take. It!
Get me outta here. I want a new kind of life.
Just call me dead. Weeping all my doom and gloom
Days wither me like I'm nothing.There's no life here in me save the odd season that's kinda girly.
Killing is the point. We do it to live. Sever the whole throat till it nags at the brain.
You tell me that the reason's a hindrance to our end.
Tell me, how's—
Tell me how's this benefiting at all?
For you? For me? For anyone?
Hey Mister! I've hit the brink, you know that—
I. Can't. Take. It!
Your time's a real waste! I don't want part of the filth that you call a dream.
Hey Mister, I'd howl blood if you'd hear—
I. Don't. Want. It!
Take me outta here. I've got no drive to keep on.
Just say I'm dead. Spilling all my doom and gloom.
Just say I'm dead. Drooping all my doom and gloom.
Hey Mister, look even now, talking back is hell to me!
Don't you get it now? What's happened to me?
Overcrowding my life full of brutality; no time to idle around or to take it all in.
Overrunning me in dyes of brutality; never a second to rest nor to savor a lull.
Is that just how it all goes?
Mope all you want that I'm no good for what you need, cause your life's on the line!
Hey now, if you don't like it, go throw all the blame on who lends you the time!
Someday, with every drop that cycles through the pain I seethe, you'll see how it feels to fight back through roars!
Hey Mister! I'm losing it. Can't you see—
I. Can't. Stand. This!
Why don't you screw off, lugging that crude of a dream that you waste your time with.
Hey Mister, I'll gurgle it if I need—
I. Can't. Take. It!
Get me outta here. I want a new kind of life.
Just say I'm dead.
Waning away. All doomed. All blue.

[dissimulative]

[ Oria is familiar with the feeling—he felt it when he read the news of Uta for the first time. It felt as if his blood froze, time stood still with an absolute dread. ]

Uta.

[ He calls out, despite not being able to find her. ]

We're here to take you back. No matter what.

[ganymed]

[ Ganymede hears another. A song within his own heart, that persists against existential despair, desperate to entrap them all, to truly eclipse Uta, and suffocate her song. The remnants of her inner hope.

The song that caresses his body, lets out the inner light, makes him want to seek through the darkness. ]

What're you hiding from?!

Come out and face us, UTA!

[murrmoire]

[ After camping in this area on and off for days, it seems as though the area has finally transformed. Memoir walks forward, despite not being able to see anything, but he quickly stops in place when the weight of emptiness starts to weigh heavily on his shoulders. The song on loop has a voice that's been etched deeply into his heart for the past few weeks.

Hearing Oriade and Ganymede call out is a relief. ]

We won't say goodbye, Uta.

[regressive]

[ When the area changes, Punisher finds it difficult to even call out. The void is overhelming and he's not even sure if his voice would reach Uta or anyone else. That doubt clears up as soon as he remembers that he's not alone in the middle of this nothingness for sure.

Someone else must be there.

Advancing through the void, he's determined to find someone, whether it's going to be Uta or whoever happens to be around. The words of the song accompanying him fill his heart with grief he denied himself after the news Uta's death.

After a little while, he might just bump into someone. Or be the one who's bumped into. ]

GAZE LONG INTO THE ABYSS... THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO INTO YOU

[tot]

[ choosing to brave the darkness will be rewarded with the discovery of the pivotal tree after a bit of traversing the emptiness. fortunately, the heart of the area is still brightly illuminated and providing the only light to an otherwise endless, dark emptiness. though what comfort that they may gain from that may vary when the realization that skulls ( 01, 02 ), encased in flames that burns a blueish purple, now hover and decorate the highest branches. there are some that hover lower but will still be out of reach. giving the tree another look over they can notice the ends of the tree's roots slowly transform into a musical staff as it extends deep into the lake below. then continuing to examine the lake's depths will prove to be useful two fold:

one, they'll notice that there are shattered fragments of what look to be mirrors suspended in the water that reflect faces both known and foreign to them. from the shore, however, it'll be hard to make out the faces' expressions.

two, anyone who decides to get a better look will come to notice that it will be possible to traverse the lake's surface as though it was solid. their steps will cause ripples in the water but they won't sink no matter what.

sometime after discovering they can walk on the lake's surface, for anyone walking over to the area closest to the tree's roots will provide a clue as where a certain someone may be. paying especially close attention to the lake's depths they'll discover something and, with enough squinting and potentially finding creative ways to provide more light to the area, be able to faintly spot a blurry shape at the very edge of what the light can reach. it'll still be impossible to tell what it is but perhaps someone may get the feeling that it would be more accurate to describe the something as a someone. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oriade frowns at the skulls, and aims his gun... not at the skulls, but at the tree.

He shoots Vak Doom, a powerful fire skill that is akin to shooting a mortar shell. He's trying to light the tree on fire. ]

1/2

[murrmoire]

[ The tree is revealed to them, and Memoir takes a moment to look at it and how it's lit up. It would feel more like a beacon of hope if it weren't for their current predicament, and he's choosing to ignore the skeletons (but they have not gone unnoticed). He lets go of the party's hands once it's clear that they can see each other, and he'll walk towards the mirrors in the water. ]

...

[ A face appears in one of them, as he draws closer. The face of someone he's never met.

(The face of someone who had secretly admired Uta's songs, despite never having admitted it to Noé himself.)

It's when he comes back to reality, however, when he realizes that he's walking on top of the water, as if it were a solid surface. ]

Hey, we can walk on thi-

Re: GAZE LONG INTO THE ABYSS... THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO INTO YOU

[ganymed]

[ Welp things have happened now and Ganymede has no idea what is going on, but...

There is a familiar face somewhere that invokes a nasty feeling in Ganymede even with memories missing.

What is in the water if he looks? ]

EVERY HEART SINGS A SONG

[tot]

[ since the beginning your words have not gone unheard and your feelings not ignored; uta corbenik remembers them all and holds them dear to her. she only makes herself scarce for when they first arrived because she wanted to fully know them and take time to completely understand them. to study what their hearts felt when they looked for the one they knew as "uta" and what their loss of her meant to them. their anger towards gorre. their desperation towards tarvos and macha. she already told them before, though, that death wasn't anything to be afraid of. in death they will find a new life. however, she is learning that perhaps it is attachment to what they will lose is what prevents people from welcoming death and their new lives.

and in that moment, they can get a real good look at her, arms crossed her chest while holding onto a strawhat gently. they don't have to worry about needing to find a way to get to her or continue to struggle fruitlessly. she'll open her eyes to see the people who have come to greet her with an eerie smile that does not suit "uta" but one that perfectly suits corbenik. because that is who she is and they must accept that. she will teach them.

without a word, she'll be pulled into the depths of the lake by arms(?) that appear to be like keys on a piano into where they cannot see. ...not that they have to wait long for her to make her reappearance as a large mass shaped as a heart emerges from the lake, beating and bleeding, supported by roots from the tree. the mass splits open from the inside with a sickening rip of flesh and the sound of splattering fluid hitting the lake's water as it does. from the death comes new life: a rebirth. farewell "uta" and hello her true self.

corbenik, finally, reveals herself to them. her twintails fanning out above her like outstretched wings or that of feathery petals of a flower—if flower petals could be decorated in a multitude of eyes. her body appearing not yet all put together as parts of her are exposed and seem to be tied together by vines, piano strings, and thread. fortunately she is still wearing clothes, but it isn't what "uta" wore; she now wears a red shirt unbuttoned at the front with a large black coat resting on her shoulders and providing some coverage of her lower half. however, it's not needed as most of her legs and lower half are mostly flesh sewn together by vines and piano wire. her feet becoming roots with the same flowering, feather-like petals that are covered in eyes.

in her hand, claw-like and spindly-like woven vines into sharpened points, she holds a spear...or maybe it's a mic stand? her voice pleasant as she greets them. ]

Oh, I never thought you'd be so eager to meet me. Does that mean you are all ready to see the end so that you can welcome the new beginning? Or—

Are you here thinking that there is more that you have to teach me?

[dissimulative]

[ Holy fuck. Oriade stands his ground and he's not here to mince words. He immediately queues up a skill, Rai Repulse (4, 6) to shoot right at Corbenik's face. ]

1/2

[murrmoire]

Shut up!

[ Just throwing that out there before Memoir looks over at Punisher and nods immediately.

He suddenly activates Gravity Shift (hover for tl;dr) and sort of does a strange shift of his body so it's...in a plank position, and he's parallel to the ground, hovering above it. ]

Punisher!

[ (For Naru's sake: Memoir will attack Corbenik before he lands after part 2/2.

(HIT ONE: 9 to hit, 10% Gany buff, 25% attack buff from his bonus armor. 1.25 * 1.10 = 137.5
10 DMG * 137.5% = 13.75

HIT TWO: 10 to hit, 10% Gany buff, 25% buff.
12 DMG * 137.5% = 16.5

TOTAL: 30.25%) ]

[ganymed]

[ What about a Physical Defense lowering debuff via MiDek Vorv on Uta? Not really an attack but with people attacking, this should make it more fun! ]

WITH A SPACE THAT IS NEVER FILLED

[tot]

[ corbenik has tot musica take another swipe at them at the cost of 9% of their health—and i forgot that punisher has been heavily debuffed last night so closes my eyes . punisher loses 11% of his health this round. it's fine. totally fine. words are being said and corbenik is a good listener. (citation needed.)

nevertheless, once they start speaking to her, namely oriade who starts off the conversation, she lowers the mic from her mouth and stops her song. she's listening to what they have to say; they clearly have had their hearts changed. they have been taught something new from the last song she had sang. corbenik can't understand what they mean to "save" anyone by rejecting death, unfortunately. still, from what she hears, she's able to confirm that it truly is attachment that anchors them down and is the source to reject death.

but what if there was no longer any attachment? would that emptiness allow them to welcome death more readily? death is not meant to be end of everything. death welcomes a new beginning. there's nothing sad about it. they should come to understand that, perhaps they have already learned it given how quick they were to end the lives of the phases before her. so, how could she teach them this? ]

You all hold an attachment to something that never existed. [ she'll turn her gaze to look at ganymede in particular. ] Didn't I already tell you? "Uta" never existed in the first place; she was something created in order to help me observe things. However—

[ with a soft clang, she'll rest her lance on the water beneath her and activate high tide and cause the color of the water under her feet to change color slightly. corbenik tilting her head to one side as she processes their word; her "petals" seemingly having a life of their own as they snake around her with their eyes focusing on the party from different angles—studying them. ...except for the one "petal" that remains limp behind her. ]

It is interesting to see the effects of that attachment from others first-hand. Yet, you resist the world that Cubia offers. In this world, "she" would never feel alone.

[ she raises her lance into the air without a clear sign of which direction of where she'll aim it next. however, her next words might prove to be concerning. ]

Shall I kill "her"? For once and for all?

ARMOR CORE 1/4

[dissimulative]

[ Ow... Oriade uses Armor Core to raise everyone's defenses by 25% by taking away Corbenik's defense. He's not sure what High Tide will do, but he's cautious when he sees the water changes color. The way she looks at Ganymede implies that he's already met Corbenik before, but Oriade won't say anything about it. That's not important right now. ]

Uta was not created for you. Uta is a singer, and she's long since been one before she "came here".

[ Oriade's memories are the very images of cognitive dissonance right now, because he remembers having lived in Fragment all his life, and yet, he knows of a time "before Fragment"--a time where they were somewhere else, with some sort of purpose--he's learned that in Gorre's boss fight. Oriade also specifically remembers he and Uta talking about this while in Fragment. ]

She is her own person, not just "your host". She had fans. She loved her fans. She cared for them so much that she wouldn't even think of making a charity stream to fund her lifelong dream--her own live concert. She wanted to raise the money on her own, no matter how much other people wanted to help her achieve her dreams. Uta is a person who always gave to others and never wanted to take anything from anyone, because she believed that she took enough.

But it's never enough.

[ He's preparing himself for something. If it's a skill, it won't work, but a spell? Naru might have to contact me about it. He's also counting on someone else to talk her down from that last line BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK!!!! ]

[regressive]

[ This is my stance on Punisher the debuffs and now the additional HP loss.

All things considered, it's not all that difficult to make Punisher's blood boil, but when Corbenik refers to Uta as something, his grip on the claymore tightens. Attacking with all these debuffs sounds like a very foolish idea. It takes a fool to call someone else a fool, apparently. ]

Aren't you getting ahead of yourself here?!

[ Her words prove that the uneasy feeling he has gotten when Corbenik raised her lance isn't unfounded. Remember when Memoir said that they can't brute force their way during this battle? Because he doesn't.

Please accept his gift of Vox Maxima (3, 8). Probably collecting debuffs like Pokémon considering that the tide is high. ]

[murrmoire]

Do not.

[ He will take up the mantle of trying to talk Corbenik out of that last line. Anyone else can also share it with him, but Memoir is desperate to stop her. What Oriade says is true. ]

Uta exists. Uta is her own person, her own being with her own goals and dreams.

[ He'd probably go on some kind of tangent about how Corbenik and Cubia robbed her of those things, but it seems like a bad idea to provoke her even further when Uta's life is on the line. ]

Corbenik. Please. She's still here and we all know it. Please let us hear what Uta has to say about that – let us hear her for ourselves!

[ Memoir sees Punisher move in to strike, but he's so paralyzed by the thought of Uta dying that he doesn't stop him. ]

BEFORE I DIE I WANT TO BE /2

[tot]

[ were they truly going to bring her back? as punisher drives the blade of his claymore true and without hesitation through her throat, there is nothing that corbenik can do. the rest of her "petals", vines, threads, piano wire, all slowly become undone and fall away to reveal the avatar that they've come to know with a strawhat from the depths of her chest to roll next to her. she returned to the version of herself that they met in the fragment and for those outside in the real world as a streamer. ...not that they could remember.

and in these last fleeting moments of her life, she remembers everything. it is unfortunate that she has no way to speak to any of them—to punisher—as her eyes start to lose focus, but she offers him a soft smile. her eyes full of warmth and the kindness that they all spoke to—free from any kind of malice. she wishes that she could also turn her move her head to see the others or have the strength to do anything else other than allow the last bit of whatever was left of her to slip away. nevertheless, even if she cannot speak, she will carve their words of love into her heart and wish that all of them know how thankful she is.

while regret creeps up on her as she realizes how she will no longer be there for them—to share in their pain and attempt to offer them some shelter from the sadness. she also realizes that she was free. the burdens that she held close in her heart was being carried by those around her. she was no longer corbenik tasked to do study something she would hopelessly fail to properly understand. she was no longer uta; the entity that she created to be able to reach out to others as part of her fear that she would only cause them hard. no longer uta the streamer and singer who was loved by millions.

she was no longer unna tott. the girl who abandoned her family in order to keep herself safe, but lived in total isolation and felt loneliness every day until she created uta. there was only one girl left behind after everything—hopefully to be truly remembered for who she was and what she was able to do for everyone she met. remembered as all of the sum of these parts culminating into one person.

unna dalgaard. the girl who celebrated the life she was given and shared her feelings with all. a girl whose name meant that she was to love. to bestow. to wish for... ]

"Even in my next life, I hope to be myself again."
I love the way you say it without hesitation, without any doubts or uncertainty.
Even if the sun sets you continue to sparkle and shine
As long as you are here
- Himawari

I wanna see you, I wanna meet you. My feelings overflow, crossing the limit
The world is covered with love... I'm gonna tell you, riding together
I wanna see you, but I can't see you.
- Aitakuta (会いたくて)

It is just like the end credits of a movie sayin'
I love you, I love you, I love you, like this.
Please don't talk like you're going to say goodbye
No, I love you, I love you, I love you, no way I need this word
- The Day After Eternity (永遠のあくる日)

[murrmoire]

[ He sees her.

Memoir runs over to her immediately. Even if Corbenik were to take over her again and stab him a million times, he wouldn't care. Sorry, Albedo, Operatives – this may be his final chance to speak to her, from Noé to Unna.

He falls to his knees when he makes it to her, tired, sore, exhausted – but he manages to reach for her hand. He takes it and holds it tightly, and doesn't bother stopping the tears that roll down his cheeks.

He hopes she remembers the drawing he made her. He hopes she remembers how loved she is until her very last breath. ]
