Act 2; part 3; part 1
You go back to being Gregory, you guess that since you can't really bother Robin you don't really have many choices, you do wander if she got any closer to her quest bed, you've been looking for your own and are starting to think you might just do with the one on Prospit, although you guess that'd be cheating somehow
What you have found however, intrigues you, it's a machine of sorts, it's rather big and looks every bit as alien as the ones you've seen before, but this is different somehow, with you gaming experience you can tell that this machine is used to create living beings, you receive a message from you patron troll
== Gregory: answer Regan
lampostScavenger [LS] began pestering GameMage [GM]
LS: I was going to p3st3r you just to t3ll you, you could r3turn th3 favor in kind
LS: 8ut it s33ms that you'v3 found som3thing mor3 int3r3sting than that
GM: What are you on about?
LS: FQ disbann3d th3 8lock, you can p3st3r us now
GM: That's odd
GM: You do pester me at the perfect time though
GM: So I'm not complaining
LS: I'll tak3 it you want to know a8out that machin3, right?
GM: If you'd be so kind to tell me
LS: It's an 3ctomachin3, it h3lps wh3n p3rforming 3cto8iology
LS: Which 8asically allows you to t3l3port any kind of living form as long as it isn't alt3r3d by tim3
LS: If it is, th3n you'll just g3t slim3, which s3rv3s to cr3at3 a copy of said living form
GM: What do you mean a copy?
LS: L3t's say you want3d to t3l3port on3 of th3 frogs your fri3nds ar3 m3ssing with, sinc3 th3y ar3 int3racting with th3 frogs it giv3s th3 frogs a diff3r3nt d3sstiny, so to sp3ak
LS: Sinc3 it's d3stiny isn't to 3nd up h3r3 you would only g3t paradox slim3, which kinda looks lik3 support for som3 r3ason
LS: If you w3r3 to try with anoth3r 83ing, let's say th3 l3ad3r of your group, and sh3 actually had to app3ar wh3r3 you ar3, sh3 would do it just lik3 that
GM: That sounds rather interesting
GM: Is it okay if I give it a try?
LS: Go ah3ad, you'r3 suppos3d to, aft3r all
GM: You also implied it worked for humans
GM: I'm guessing I have to bring someone here
GM: Are you going to tell me who?
LS: That wouldn't 83 very fun, now would it?
GM: I guess you're right, that would be quite dull
GM: I do like a good strategic game now and then
LS: I kn3w I lik3d you for a r3ason (?K
GM: Can I ask about that face though?
GM: Like... what's that on top of the wink?
LS: Thos3 would 83 my horns
LS: I'm a troll aft3r all
GM: ...
GM: That only raises more questions
LS: W3ll, I n33d to go now
LS: L3t's talk again
lampostScavenger [LS] ceased pestering GameMage [GM]
Wasn't that just helpful as hell! Robin was every bit right when she said the trolls would help!
Notice the sarcasm? Of course you do! You're the one thinking it! Damn the trolls!
But you guess you could give the ectomachine a try just to see if ectobiology really works like Regan says it does, you push what you believe to be the start button and watch as the screen comes to life
== Somewhere else entirely
A small white creature in blue clothing walked through a desolate land, it stumbles to a sort of capsule in the middle of what looks like a desert, it enters the capsule
Inside it's a lot bigger than what the outside reveals, it's filled with strange machinery and canned food but there's still enough space to move, a blue cop hat lies on top of a machine the creature doesn't really care for, he takes it and puts it on
Officer Chocolate reporting to work, why Chocolate? Because that's what the badge that the creature found stated, it's his so the name should be his as well
He sits in front of a machine with a rather large screen, the screen displayed one of the weird creatures that he'd been watching as she slashed monsters left and right, she rather liked this one, she was trying to bring justice to those who had been kidnapped, she would make for a good cop, he changed to another of the beings, this time two of them were scurrying around with frogs, he didn't really get those two, finally he landed on the last one, he seemed to be playing with a machine of sorts, that looked like fun
