"Heehee. ACHOO!" *Sniff* "Whadda day… All my friends have shpend shome time with me, Army." Maskless Silvana deliriously told her buddy. Still sick in bed.

*Monkey bobbing*

"Huh? Oh, yeah yoo were there!" *Sniff* "I can'th waith to open these presentsh they left me. Ish thish noth the besth chrishtmash efer?" She asked joyously rhetorically. *sniff*

*Non-rhetorical monkey retort*

"Hmph… Wishe guy..." She muzzled him. "If there's a girlfriend for you in there I'm keeping her for myshelf."

*Monkey slap*

"Ha! Misshed me! Ow…"

"Are you okay, Miss Sil?" Silvana turned her head to the window.

"Liiiiiddyyyy!~" Her sleeved hand was barely visible. "Got shome more shoup?"

"As long as you're still sick. Don't get up, please. Sig gave me the key." In mere moments Lidelle served her friend up. "Enjoy, Miss Sil. I put a little less fat in it like you requested." She handed over the dinner plate.

"Liddy." Silvana, turned her head. Lidelle looked her sick friend in her half-open eyes.

"Yes, Miss Sil?"
"Come a bit closher."
"Oh, um… Okay?"

Sil rubbed the imp on her head. "Thank you. If I wasn't sso shick I'd… I'- ACHOO!"

"You're welcome." Lidelle smiled while wiping off some germs of her clothes. "Sorry I was out of eucalyptus leaves. We hope you can get back to the Circus soon. Or at least get less sick. You get real loopy with a cold…"

"Loopy?"
"Yeah."
"Who's Loopy? She nice? Wowie!"

Sil removed her hand for Lidelle's head.

"What is it? Is something wrong?"
"Liddy!"
"Y-Yes?"
"Lid. Dy."
"Spit it out, please."
"You've got *sniffle* got hornsh!"
"Oh, you've already discovered that three times now…"

She self-consciously rubbed her horns. As Sil ate the soup.

"I'll have Sig send you the cold medicine, sorry."
"For whath?"
"N-Nothing… I hope Santa can turn you into a human. Or at least cure your fear of garbage Puyo."
"What if don't wanna be human? You're nice maybe I wanna be like you."
"Silvana? N-Not to be rude. And it's a nice thought. But please get back in the right frame of mind… Oh, before I forget."
"Forget what?"

Lidelle cleared her throat. "Some of your circus friends have heard some heard some strange noises."

"Wath kindth?" *Slurp*
"Mostly mumbles. Something about unmasking."
"!"

That snapped Sil out of it for a second. "Have I been shlee-sleeping talkhing?"

"They don't think so. Vento heard it too. It's pretty deep."
"Am… Ah. ACHOOO!"
"Gezundheit."
"Thank you. Where wass I- Thath's right! SOMEONE'S OUT FOR MY FACE!?"

*Rumble outside the room*

It spooked the girls somewhat. Lidelle looked around the corners. "Your antique suit of armour collapsed. S-Someone m-must've knocked it over in a hurry."
"Andth, I too outtha the loop to do something…"
"Don't worry, Miss Sil! I'll find some cold remedy, and send the bravest I know to help you sleep comfortably tonight! Enjoy the soup! Stay saaaaafe!"
"Liddy! Wait!"
"Yes, Sil?"
"Can you closhe the window and starth up the gramophone."
"Oh, of course."

"Can you take up the task, of taking my love without being seen?"

"Huh. Didn't think you liked these kinda songs… Can I borrow this one sometime, please?"

Chapter 37: Unmasked OR Intruder, Where Are You?

"A-Are you all s-sure you can help, Silvana out?" Lidelle asked the team she managed to assemble on short notice. "She needs to be put to rest her home's safe until the intruders. She's still sick from when Santa buried her in snow."

"Surprised she hasn't died from the humiliation yet. Being atheist towards Santa. Defeated by Santa in front of the whole town."
"Hehehehe."

Feli quietly cackled at Raffine's comment. Klug gave them a nasty frown. "That's not what atheism means. It mean-"

"I don't care."
"Shut up, four-eyes."

"Hmph." Klug managed not to be threatened by these two at once. "Lidelle, why did you pick these two? I'll admit Baldander's a good choice to snuff out an intruder. And these two have their uses. But letting them help is like letting the wolf protect a herd of sheep!"

"What? No. We have Silvana's best interest in mind." Raffine lied in a way only people not enamoured by her fashion sense would pick up on. Feli nodded.

"I-I trust them." Lidelle said. "Miss Sil will probably make it worth your while. Maybe…"

"All I ask for is some help studying amethyst magic." Klug put his cards on the table. "What's your lady's plans?" He did not hide his distrust.

"Why should've we tell you?" Raffine harrumphed only a lady of her stature would.

"There's nothing special about this day. There must be something off."

Klug did not have to guess hard what her motivation was behind that non-answer.

"Woofwoof, yap yap!" That ruffly translates lates to following Feli around and seeing Sil again.

"Thank you, Mister Baldanders… Here, Klug, please give this cold remedy to her, please."
"I will. Let's begin."

Klug, Raffine, Feli, and Baldanders marched off the clown's caravan.

"I wish I could help more… I'm so useless…" Liddelle muttered under her breath. "Hmm… This looks like a job for Vento. I'd better call Hohow too."


"Hello, Silvana, we're here to catch the intruder and stay in bed. Later." Raffine said as she walked past Sil's open door.

"Huh, Feeny?" Sil mumbled through her sleeping mask. "Feli? Oh, Klug~ Baldersh~"

"Woof!" Baldanders ran up to Sil, he shape-shifted into himself. But smaller. Into a more reasonable sized dog. *Mask licking*

"Heehee. Nice to shee you too. 'Shbeen a while." She rubbed the demon dog on a spot. "Hey, Klug. Where're your glasshesh?"

Klug checked. "That's not funny." He started cleaning the fingerprints off his glasses

"It washn't a joke."

The smartest tilted his head. "Yikes, Lidelle wasn't kidding. When you have a cold you're really out of it."

"ACHOO!"

"Here's some cold remedy, Silvana. I enhanced it behind their backs. It's perfectly safe, even made by unlicensed hands, I study medical aid on the side. You should be cured enough to walk around with a clearer head in an hour or two. You might even be fully healthy tomorrow in the afternoon."

"Aw, you're sso a shweety, Klug. Could kissh you if you dresshed like Stanley. Hey, look you're turning red already, c'here~"

"Woof?"

Klug did notice about the blush. "Keep lying in bed until you feel no longer delirious. Don't do or say something you'd regret." He said adjusting his glasses. "Need to make sure Feli and Raffine don't peek where they shouldn't."

"Don't get lost, my caravan'sh barely not a manshion. I'dth give you the map if I remembered where I left it."


"Bal? Bal? Must still be at the bedroom. Wh-where I? This caravan's huge on it inside… Awesome~" Feli's occult geekery rose up. "Nevermind, this is not the work of the occult. Lame…" Feli kept wandering the hallways. Pretending to search for the possible burglar.

"Now that I'm in her… Home… dimension?" She scratched her head. Just released she went up some stairs and in presumably still in a caravan. "I can find a way to sabotage her hook-up attempts against my Lemres! Kekekekekekeeeeeeeh?"

She pulled out a bag of salt. "Fufufufufufuuuu~" She laced some furniture with some non-lethal amounts (for Lemres,) around the clown's abode.


"Huh." 'I thought it was a dream I had in the hospital. But, her caravan's really this big? Her's? Hmmm… Not a bad idea actually. The joys of travel while keeping everything close. I simply need to ask daddy if he has the connections.' Raffine snuffed around with a camera.

"Hrgh!" 'Locked. I wonder what kinda juicy secrets she holds in there…' "Oh, La-Ti-Da~" She whisper laughed as she pulled out a hairpin hidden on her person and inserted it into the door's lock. "Viola~" 'That was too easy. They should call me the mistress of lockpicking. On second thought.' Raffine had opened the door.

"HEEEE!" *Slam*

It was a second bedroom. "S-So much dust." 'I've never seen this m-much! If she wasn't such a pain I'd clean it for free!' She locked it again. 'What am I saying? She should just hire a maid.' "Snrrrk. She already has the outfit. Ha."


"Look, Baldanders. I know I am not Feli." 'Thank the stars…' "But can you please disobey her for Silvana's sake?"

*Hiiiss!*
"Eyeeaaaa!"

Klug ran off.


"Yo, F. Find anything?" Vento greeted Feli.

"Do I know you, little boy?" The pot said to the kettle.

"C'mon, I'm the stuntman of the Circus…"

"The Circus outside?"

"I do the stuff that the other won't do with some magical twists."

"Because having the bird fly isn't entertaining. Maybe we should fatten him up more."
"…Circuses freak me out. How do you know my name!"

Feli got back on point.

"Eh… Everyone knows you as the creepy, future seeing, maid of Lemres."
'How I wish I was.'
"Seen the burglar?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Hey I got an idea, why don't you use your dowsing sticks? They can find stuff, can't they?"
"Not in a place of warped space…"
"What does that mean?"
"Ask four-eyes and STOP BUGGING ME! *Attack noise*"
"AAAAH!"

Vento ran away from the scary goth girl about his size.


Somewhere in the caravan, a dark figure made hefty footsteps.


"Another dusty empty room…" 'Silvana. You got a dream house. But all the rooms you use are near the entrance. How lazy… Use them!' Raffina figured she should stop lockpicking.

She turned a doorknob and was kinda surprised it opened. "Oh?" What also was behind the said door was also a surprise. Albeit a small one.

'This was clearly not a personal gym at one point, judging by that mirror. At least it's something sensible. A lady's gotta stay in shape.' She showed off to no one. 'Even a clown like her. Especially a clown like her… Freak.'

Her eye was drawn to the thing lying on the vault. Well, first she smelled it. "A leotard." 'How sloppy not putting it in the laundry. At least she seems to actually do something. It's not just an unused relic of a room of the Pierrots.'

"Hmm… Ohoho." 'If only I could catch her wearing this…' She held subconsciously held the camera tighter. 'That fool is so self-conscious she needed to hypnotize herself to be me to be not afraid to flaunt. She's almost always fully covered up too… Oh, La-Ti-Da. I'll publish it in my newspaper, let someone take the fall. And she'll be forever silenced!'

"Hey, R! Why're ya sniffing P's undies?"
"EEEH?!"

Raffine's shocked. Vento snuck up on her. Vento's snickering as Raffine threw the thing away.

"I did not, you little punk!"
"Yes, you did~ For shame…"
"It's not even underwear, it's just a sweaty leotard."
"Eeeeeew! You don't see me sniffing things like that. And I thought you were a lady."
"Hrrngh."
"Hey, Klug!"

"Yes, Verde?"
"Caught, R sniffing-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Raffine roundhouse kicked the sandbag so hard it broke off the chain. Vento and Klug held each other very tight. "That will be you lovers if you should finish that sentence. Un. Der. Stood?" She bent over and daggered her eyes straight through them.

*Gulp*
*Gulp* *Nod*
*Nod*

"Good! Now, there's no evidence the intruder has been here. This room's a red herring. Now, gentlemen. I'm off on my own again." She strutted out of the room like she owned the place.

"K, please d-don't let go!"
"I w-won't."


"Woof?"
"I'm lacing everything in salt."
*Whine*
"I don't need the clown's permission."
*Growl*
"Since when do you talk back?"
"Yap! Yap!"
"Ugh, alright. Use your nose to snuff out to the crook."
*Whine whine*
"What?"

Baldanders took up sign language. And if Feli interpreted it right (doesn't always happen), she brought the wrong substance. *Sniff sniff* "No… I accidentally brought sugar. Everything smells like sugar to you, doesn't it."

"Bark Bark."

"Yeah, that's what I thought…" Feli pouted. "Might as well help the clown out. I have no plan B with me… Ugh. You may shapeshift into the clown."

*Poof!*

"Woof! Bark!" The transformed dog is a clown now. The mask is grafted to face.

When they left the room they encountered a nondescript monster.


"WhanonononononoNOOOPFFFFFHhhhhhhhhhhh."

"Klug feeeeell. Klug feeeeell." The little masked boy taunted. Klug grumbled. "Heh, sorry, K. I can't help it." Vento shrugged. No doubt smirking too. "Dude. What did you even trip over? You didn't even hit the edge of this ancient carpet."

"Nnnnngh. I wish I did, that way I've landed on it." Klug rubbed his high boo boos while Vento rubbed the lower ones. "Okay, that's enough. Let's see what's hidden in there. Help me roll the carpet will you?"

"Interesting, a trap door. But not too surprising, taking the size of this caravan in consideration…"
*Whistle* "Cool, P's gotta basement."
"Something I wanted to ask Silvana, but I suppose you will do. Do the other caravans have this trait?"
"Some of them, yeah. But those are more like twice their own size."
"Must be a remnant of _'s influence. Or at least one of his former slaves. What a smell- HOLY COW!"
"What's u- Oh, ****!"

What Klug and Vento saw after casting a fire spell could scar them for life.

Cages, isolation cells, weapons on the wall, human branding tools with the letters _ & _, a breaking wheel, an iron chair right above the place where it should be, some chains, no doubt for _ to use them as sandbags, a rack and so much more… All next to where a bunch of wine was stored.

And to make it worse? A few skeletons. Human or not. Tattered Circus attire or not.

Vento gulp big time. "I-Is this Silvana's doing? I DON'T WANNA BELIEVE IT!" He much like Klug screamed like a girl.

"N-N-NO! This is m-m-must where _ _ "disciplined" his Circus Crew." Klug wanted to get out of here. "What's the worst she's ever done to you?"

"A-At worst she makes me feel worse for existing, she talks down to like a nagging older sister when I disappoint her. Maybe just a simple spell out of a-a-a-anger." *Sniff* Vento's really scared of this room. He held the equally scared boy tight. "I TICK HER OFF A LOT! 'SIDES THAT SHE'S REALLY GOOD TO MEEEEE!"

"Y-You and your colleagues got it good. You have nothing to fear. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

So they did. But they went silent.

*Faints stomp faints stomps loud stomp loud stomps* The thing stopped above stopped. Klug and Vento hid in case.

"That must be the burglar."
"Oh, is that all?"
"Y-You sound so calm ab-b-bout it."

Whatever was on the ground floor. It closed the trapdoor.

"OH NOOO! We're trapped! We gonna starve down in here in the darkness while Silvana (should she be safe) will walk over us, never knowing we-"
"Dude, there's no lock on the trapdoor. Let's climb out. Worst case scenario we have to push the carpet with it."
"Oh, of course. I-I was-"
"You never fooled anybody except maybe Amitie and Lidelle, scaredy cat."


"Heheheh~ Bounchy~" *Sniffle*

Raffine's patience was once again on a very short fuse. "Can you stop that." She said as calm as she could to the woozy Silvana who got herself out of her bed. "Stop cupping the curves of my hair."

"Bounchy~ee~eeee~"
"Stop that!"
"But it's bounchy."
"I get that."
"I like bounchy things~"
"Are you, I don't know? Eleven?"
"Maybe."

'Is she really this delirious?' She slapped her arms away. "Stop drooling over me like everyone else, now is not the time for that."

"But'sh fun…"

"Don't make me carry you to your bed and staple you to it!"

"What'sh your shampoo, Raffeeny~?"

"It's Raffine. OR RaffinA! There's an 'Ah' at the end. Not Feeny or Raffeeny!"

"Hey, Feeny." *Massive sniffle* "Why do ya shmell kinda like my dirthy laundry?"

Raffine picked the sick girl up and carried her back to her room.

"AND STAY THERE UNTIL YOU GETTER BETTER!" *DOOR SLAM!*

"Ouchie, my ear. Hi, Army. Sssee how a big meanie sshe'sh ish, buddy?" *Snuggle*


Half-an-hour of monster chasing and Silvana grogginess having been diminished thanks to the love of those that see her more than a masked clown, the cold remedy and probably Lidelle's soup.

"Thanksh, Klug."

"You should keep lying in bed, Silvana. You still look sick." Klug advised.

"Nah, I'll tank through my shleepinessss through. I can think shtraight ACHOO!" *Sniff* "Again." She said walking wearing her pajama inside out, a blanket knotted around her neck like a cape like a child, and holding Arms like a bunny loving child, and being Silvana Pierrot. *Sniffles a lot*

'This would be a great picture for my newspaper… But doing it now's too obvious…'

"Whath'sh been going on? *Yawn* Ish ith ghoshtsh? Who are you gonna ashk to helph when I become a ghosht?"

They brought up the dungeon, the wine cellar. "NO KIDDING!? At leasth I have cellar now. With wine."

"Aren't you-"
"I'm legal in my worldth. Shut up, FFFeeny."
"Hmph…" 'I wish I was already…'

They brought up the scary nondescript monster.

"I saw it, it got your circus dwarf." Feli broke it to her straight.

"Th-Th- Vent?! You guysh gotta sssave him!"

Raffine groaned as she cracked her knuckles. "If we must, then we'll save that little brat."

Sil pushed Arms in Klug's and held Raffine's hands a put them together. "Pleashe do! You NEEDTH to ssave him!" She looked her dead in the eye, even if Raffine couldn't quite look back.

"How do we catch it?" Feli asked.

"I'm glad you asked." Klug's back straightened. Everyone but Silvana and Baldanders rolled their eyes. "I have a plan to trap the beast. We know this: The monster can't go through walls, its footprints leave no special marks, but are boot-shaped, it's very physical, it's very hostile, has apparently grown since it ate Verde, it's too big now to leave, where ever it came from."

"What is it?"
"I-I-It's… Uh. Not important! It seems to be looking for Silvana. It is somewhat intelligent if what Lidelle said was correct about it baling out when it thought they were onto him. Also, Baldanders' sense of smell has been mysteriously been compromised. My guess its scent is long lingering but subtle. It also may have better hearing than us."
"So we should be whispering."
"! Eh, yes. Yes, we should, juuuuust in case. Baldanders, we need you to keep being in Silvana's form."

Sil snickered. "Nrrk. Yeah, lure 'em in with your goodth looksh, Baldersh. Fufufufu."

"Yapyapyap~"

*Long story short: Monster got trapped in the cellar and got dizzy*

The healthy girls, (that includes Baldanders and Klug but not Feli) though unnerved at the torture devices (Feli found them cool), approached the monster. Silvana joined them.

"Eh. Gotta deshtroy, those thingsh later. Hey, that'sh Godkira."

"Got what?" Was the response.

"Godkira. Ith'sh a coshtume Oshare made thath we never got to use… Pull off the mashk. Do it."

"VENTO VERDE!?"

"The circus'… whatever?" Raffine added.

"Andth Hohow's underneath him. 'S made to be worn by both." Silvana clarified. "He seems to be knocked. Why Vent?"

The dizzy Vento tried to recollect himself. "Lidelle send us to do our best to scare off your home invaders. ~Eeeeeh~"

"So you're not the invader?" Feli asked.

"Noooooooo…" The li'l guy said still dazed.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?"

"And risk exposing my plan to the intruder? I was planning to only tell P."

"The intruder must still be upstairs. And it's probably just a normal thief." Klug theorized.

But that plan was derailed. Because without warning, Raffine took off Vento's signature mask. Nobody was prepared.

"LIDELLE?!" Shouted with varying volume degree. Baldanders wasn't at all surprised. Silvana didn't want to deal with this at the moment, and Lidelle meeped and shut herself off to the world.

"Ugh, should've been obvious…"
"I had a feeling they were the same species. But not literally the same. H-How are these opposites the same?"
"What witchcraft is this, clown? AND TEACH ME!"
"Woof."

Sighing Silvana gave them an answer. Here's it in non-stuffynose-ese for a bit, just for your benefit. "Lidelle wanted to help in the circus. Thanks to my mask, she thought had crippling shyness like her. I guess. So I gave her a mask that's haunted. That clear? Tired wanna sleep."

*In actuality: way back when:*

"Okay, Lidelle… Your last name's Thunderhead?"
"S-Something wrong it?"
"No. But I wanna if you seriously wanna give this circus business a try."
"I-I-I don't know."
*Annoyed desk slam* "Look shorty, you're too far in this process to stop now. But I'll let you leave if you still don't want to. Make your mind up! Do you wanna work up courage with this job like you said?"

Lidelle gave a weak nod.

"Good." Pierrot said neutrally. "Because this circus doesn't want your hidden talents not to be realized. Say, I got an idea to help you with your shyness."

"Y-You do?"

"At least at the circus. Put on this mask and follow to my personal caravan."

*At the Caravan*

"Wow. Your place is big on the inside."

"Take place at the couch." Silvana said as she dug out a pocket watch. 'Never thought I'd actually put this to use again. Especially not on a green-haired horned creature… No reminiscing, Arle! You're Silvana now.'

*One induction later*

"Feel the mask change you. Loosen your inhibitions by a lot, feel how it makes you feel like a completely different person for as long as you're wearing it. When I snap my fingers you'll wake up and you'll feel it for yourself." *Snap*

Lidelle woke up. Trying to rub her eyes but the mask got in the way. "Morning?" She said groggy.

"How do you feel Lidelle?"
"Lidelle? I don't feel like Lidelle."
"That's why I hypnotized you."
"Mmmm. Nah."
"What do you mean 'nah'? I definitely hypnotized you."
"Noooooo~ You hypnotized Lidelle."
"You are Lidelle."
"Proof it!"

'What a brat. It worked…' "When I snap my fingers you'll be Lidelle again." *Snap*

*Masked muffled raspberry* "I'm here to stay baby!" She threw her fist in the air. Silvana forcefully took the mask off. It's obvious that the original personality was back in the driver's seat.

"Eep!"
"What. Was. That?"
"P-Please don't t-take him away!"
"Him?"
"I-I wanna be useful!"
"I said feel like a different person, not become one!"

Lidelle shut herself off.

Sil let out a quick groan. She put the mask back on.

"Eeey, please lemme stay, I do wanna work for ya." The new personality asked as nicely as it could. Sil frowned. "Please, just gimme a costume, lemme be. Liddy's suggesting I stay mostly at the circus. She seems to think I'm a troublemaker. I'm innocent, I haven't done anything…" He(?) smirked.

"Yet."
"Yet… *Sigh*"

'I created a monster. I swear, is life in this town worth it?… Maybe I should try hypnotizing myself? Will it even work?'

*Present*

"Sho pleashe keep thish a shecret. I get it, he'sh an uncontrollable menace, but pleashe for Liddy'sh ssake."

"Fine, but don't expect me to go easy on that twerp just because he shares Lidelle's body."
"Hm…"
"Boring."
"Woof."

*Another half-an-hour of looking later*

"I am so sick of this. I'm going home. Goodbye." Raffine's outta of here. Feli went too and Baldanders went with her.

"I can only stay for a half hour more I'm afraid." Klug lamented to Silvana in her room. Silvana was sitting on her bed with Lidelle and the still unconscious Hohow Bird. "But if he's just human I can handle it." 'Provided he doesn't make me run of course.'

"Okay, if he comesh in here I'll trap 'em." They exchanged nods. "Can you shtart up my gramophone pleashe?"

*Button push* "Can you take up the task, of taking my love without being seen?"

"Oh!" Lidelle gasped. She held her head. "I'm so useless…" Sil put her arm around the imp.

"What's wrong?"
"Vento walked past one time and misheard the song as: Can you take off the mask, taking something something without being seen."

"Are you joking? What about the suit of armour? Did it just fall?"
"P-P-Pruhbably?"

Klug ranted in miffed gibberish out of the caravan.

Lidelle climbed out of the bed. "S-Sorry. Vento heard it through the mask, through the walls. You must be really angry…"

"Lidelle… Your alter ego got exposhedth today. I wanna be angry at you. But I can'th. There's no thelling if they will thell."

"Aren't you gonna put Vento in charge and say the opposite to him?"

"No. You both did your best to protect my identity. I owe you a huge favor. But not too huge, Vent! But all I ask of you is that one of you rolls Hohow onto a couch, I wanna sleep."

"Vento wants to do it."
"Than do it, Vent. Don't talk to me, I have some getting better to do." She put Arms close and wrapped herself in.

"Good night, P."


The next morning, Silvana for the first time in a while dressed how she normally would, jumped out of the doorway to the wilds amount of one.

"Back and healthy."

Author's Notes:

Scroll to the bottom of the same chapter of Archive of Our Own

"Hm. Can I get away with parodying something what's been a parody of itself since the 80s?" That was not on my mind. It just happened to be such.

Guess what's back? I won't be working on this regularly, I just missed working on it.

Welcome to Act 3 the final segment. Where the story ends. Enjoy Silvana while her story still lasts folks. With that said. I took a page out of Warelander's book. I made a universe!

It includes:
"Amitie's Journey From off Top of her Head"
"Popoi's Confession" (But not the other "Puyo Final Boss Anthology" Chapters)
And "Power Rangers: Puyo Puyo Force"

But they're not necessary to read to keep enjoying this story and vice-versa. But they did happen in the same continuity. I thought "why not?" And consequently I'm expanding "Amitie's Journey From off Top of her Head"

The opening skits are now part of the story.

The Presice Museum Translation team uploaded their translation of Pocket Puyo Puyo~n. It has more to work with when it comes to Doppel. I was too far in this rabbit hole to make it more in line a few chapters in. Frankly, I'm surprised it could get any worse after the Madou Timeline thing.

ALSO! PLEASE TELL ME YOU GUYS CAUGHT ON LIDELLE WAS VENTO? I LEFT WAAAAAAAAY TOO MANY CLUES! I FLAT OUT TOLD IT TO YOU WITHOUT TELLING IT. REREAD IT IF YOU WANT, I NAMED HIM AFTER LIDELLE'S FIRST SPELL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! THIS DIDN'T COME OUT OF NOWHERE! THIS HAS BEEN BUGGING SINCE ACT 1 AND I HAD A HARD TIME SHUTTING MYSELF UP ABOUT IT! A PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE WHERE I WAS THE VICTIM AND YOU GUYS DIDN'T YOU WERE PLAYING. NONE OF YOU EVER BROUGHT VENTO UP, EVER!

And now's my mind's clear. That's seriously been bugging me. And I get it. It's pretty useless in the grand scheme. I'm not insulting you, but you guys left me more in the dark more than I ever have.

I just wanted Lidelle to work in the Circus. This was the solution I came up with. There are other reasons, both in and out-of-universe. But those I leave for you to ponder.

Anyway, enough about Vento. Enjoy.

Next up: A retelling with Vento. Only one, normal story continues after that.
