Dipshit's Guide to VLDR: End of Mystery - Cult End(True)

[XerxesLeFan]

..I think I'm rather tired of the dramatism, but I respect your dedication to the craft, Saeki.

[Hawkwing425]

And I respect your respect, Crystal.

[Arcthurus]

What's this about an alternative way to escape? Can you elaborate?

[spretznaz]

I really can't, I dont know the full details, or how to do it. But the alternate involves completing the Stage.

[PolyesterHomes]

"...The stage."

"...That's what we're here to do. That's why were here."


"..."


"Fine then. Lets go complete the stage."

[Arcthurus]

I thought you said, or maybe it was Jack, that the Stage was the game itself? Wouldn't completing the Stage just be the game reaching the end? Did I misunderstand?

[PolyesterHomes]

"If the stage was just the game then Ted and Francis would be acting different."

[Hawkwing425]

Would they? Do you really think that?

[Arcthurus]

Uh, different how, exactly?

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

"I ain't saying what happened was entirely your fault either, Ted. You just have an agenda for helping run this game. That ain't a moral judgement. I ain't in a position to make one of those."

"I have an agenda sure, but my priorities are different than you might think. And Francis's are different than mine.

So, tell me Jacky boy, whaddya think?"

[spretznaz]

Don't be so hasty, Jack. I've told you what I think that exactly means.

I didn't say that. The stage is something else, not the game. We're in both, the game AND the stage.

[PolyesterHomes]

"They wouldn't be giving the God they hate content on a silver platter if it wasn't for some grander scheme against them. They hate god. Their entire cult is about being unimportant, about being uninteresting, about being neutral so God ignores them."

[Arcthurus]

Uh, right. And you can't say more because you're still getting more information. And you're hoping the puzzle in the Crawlspace answers all the remaining questions. Is that it?

[PolyesterHomes]

"...I'd ask for their help on the matter but I highly doubt they know the answer. If they did they'd had solved it themselves."

"That is true, Rin. That crawlspace holds everything we need."

"Saeki, why did you trap the gas station?"

[spretznaz]

YO YO, don't use the C word in front of them! They're still in denial!

[AltsandHostsonly]

"..."

Francis sits down at a pew, while Ted eyes him.

"Maybe we're just hypocrites, Jack?"

Francis returns the glance, his voice sounding leading.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

"I don't like those implications, Francis. Chill."

[Arcthurus]

Alright. I have questions for Ted and Francis, then.

You two said that we had the goal of reaching 12 or more points. Well, I have enough. Now what?

[PolyesterHomes]

Jack looks at Francis, as if trying to stare into his soul.

"...We're going to solve that puzzle."

[Hawkwing425]

Why did I trap the gas station? Well, why are you asking, Jack?

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

"Well, if you want to leave everyone behind, go for it. It'd be distasteful, but if you want to make that "choice" go for it."

[AltsandHostsonly]

"That is for God to decide. You either defy God and ravage the 6 who would stop you, or you succumb to his will and face the music. There's no choice, really."

[Arcthurus]

Leave everyone behind? What would happen to everyone else? Could they still play the 5th round of the AB Game?

[PolyesterHomes]

"Because I think it's important. Were you told to trap that location?"

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Ted shakes his head, Francis's silence affirms this.
