“Unit Mother, those
are private files relating to the side quests regarding the other
units. While they did aid with the repairs on the system this unit
separated their log files for privacy concerns.” Kaidyn responded as the molten heat gave even her metallic body a fresh blush.
“Ah them...” Akita smirked as she peaked inside… I mean how could she resist with how cute Kaidyn’s embarrassed flush was.

[Side Quest]: Unit Frozen
System Log, Minute 42000
Upon
further inspection of system logs on unit Frozen, this unit
hypothesizes that improper utilization of ignition device triggered a
security lock down mechanism. This temporal lock down is what afflicted
unit Frozen. This should have been resolved with system repairs.
However, residual temporal folds are still present. This unit
hypothesizes that since the temporal lock mechanism is only supposed to
be a short term effect, the extended duration and exposure to the
temporal eddies has generated temporal corruption.
Further
diagnosis pending test results from tissue and other samples taken from
unit Frozen as its movements appear to be accelerating to relative
rates.
~Kaidyn
System Log, Minute 42540
Test
results confirm a composite multi-layer paradox effect upon unit
frozen. It seems the temporal lock did not stop temporal eddies from
infecting unit Frozen. Instead, it just stopped unit Frozen from acting
upon them. Over time, these temporal eddies layered and mutated against
each other into a temporal paradox that are estimated to have fatal
repercussions when resolved. As such, side quest ‘Frozen’ has
temporarily been marked as high priority. This unit will continue to
research possible repair methods.
[Update]: The inner clock of unit Frozen has accelerated enough for this unit to interact with.
~Kaidyn
System Log, Minute 42843
Possible
solution to side quest ‘Frozen’ found by this unit. Toxin ‘Bootylibum’
or more commonly referred to as Bytox identified as candidate solution.
More specifically, the Q strand. This highly dangerous bacterium is one
of the only organisms that can survive within temporal fields, having
developed a natural resistance. This unit requires time for the
development of antibody potion.
[Warning]:
Physical body of unit Frozen now stuck in quantum anomaly as he is
fading in and out of existence. Time is off the essence. As such, this
unit has directly injected a high dose of Bytox Q into unit Frozen while
it still could as per their request. This unit will take full
responsibility for any reactions that will occur.

Unreal time Recollections with Unit ‘Frozen’
How did it go again? I think therefore I am?
Anyways,
I am Erwin Patrick, brawler extraordinaire, and, well, I just died
after a long and pretty exciting life. I know, hard to believe, right?
But alas, I was finally done in by the fearsome… okay... okay… It’s been
a short and very uneventful life… Oh, come on! Can’t a man lie to
himself in their last moments?
You
know the old saying that your life flashes before your eyes when you
die… I guess that turned out to be true, though... it seems to be going
in reverse? And how are you even getting what I’m saying transcribed??
!@#$% magic… Never did make sense to me.
Well
the last thing that happened was me nodding to the sexy Metal Maid
Kaidyn, telling her to inject me with that glowing potion thing that she
had made. What was it, Bytox or something? What, of course I’m going to
stare! You’re hot and it’s not like you don’t know it. Can’t a guy
appreciate those curves and that chest?
Anyways,
I knew that if I started to phase out again, that’d be it for me. I
wasn’t coming back. Just one of those adventure things. When you’ve been
near death before, you kinda know these things. I insisted on applying
that potion so don’t blame yourself for whatever happened next. I mean,
you did all you could… Though admittedly, you could have warned me that
it was to be injected rectally... Damn that stung!
Anyways,
back to the whole ‘life flashing before my eyes in reverse’ thing I’m
seeing right now. There it goes showing you helping me around for the
first few days after i broke free all on my own… okay fine… after you
released me from the time lock. Ah, here we go, it’s showing me slowing
down. Moving around like a slug, getting temporally out of sync more and
more until… there. There’s me fully stuck.
…
Damn,
how many years was I stuck for? Thank the goddess I wasn’t capable of
thinking during that. I definitely would have gone mad.
.
..
…
….
…..
Yawn….
The stuck part is finally over. Damn, I looked like such an idiot with
that surprised look on my face. Did I really need to see myself stuck in
place for what was that? three centuries!? That long!? At least my
choice of clothing back then was pretty suave if I do say so myself. I
mean, just look at that white cloak, those funky purple pauldrons that
accentuated my manly open chested curly hairs and my ripped arms. Along
with those wide bottom greaves that showed off my steel crushing thighs.
All of that, topped off with that awesome shaggy hair hairdo and the
sallet I was rockin. I mean, damn I looked smooth if I do say so myself.
The
exploration of the temple before I was frozen is actually still pretty
fresh in my mind. I mean, technically it was only like a week ago to me
if you exclude the time lock phase… The place hasn’t really changed
much. I believe one or two of the other guys was already there when I
came in. Even back in my time, this temple had a reputation for being
dangerous but there was treasure to be had! The chance for money and
glory far outweighed the dangers for this dungeon.
Finally,
I get back to the part where I find this miniature shrine or something.
This was the deepest part of the temple I found and this is where I
found the damn chest with the damn plug that started it all. Seriously,
fuck auto equip items!! I mean, seriously, who makes a DLC with auto
equips? Especially one that equips to the anus slot! Heck, I didn’t even
KNOW that was a slot… I probably spent more time searching through the
damn temple for a way to un-equip the bloody thing than it took me to
find it! I mean, men are not made for such things! Though, I do admit it
is pretty sexy on some of the ladies…
At
least the rest of my life will be more entertaining to watch than this
portion was. I mean, watching some of my earlier fights will be most
entertaining, especially in reverse.
Huh?
Is this life recap thing broken? What do you mean ‘you don’t see it’?
The whole thing just froze after I put the plug down! Err… before I
picked the damn thing up... I know what I mean! Damn it all… Oh, wait,
there it goes. Is it playing forward now? For the love of… I am SO going
to complain to the Gods about this in the afterlife…
Wait
wait wait… what’s this?! I didn’t manually equip the ignition core...
nor did I lubricate myself multiple times while doing it! I can assure
you I only lubricated it twice… maybe thrice… ok, ok, five times….
What?! Don’t look at me like that! FINE... I admit it I lubricated like a
few dozen times. There, happy now darling? Sheesh, can’t a girl
lubricate herself in peace?
Ok
fine… It’s a temple and it’s impolite to do that in here, but there was
nobody else around!! And I was a girl in spirit already darling, even if
my body wasn’t yet at that point. Why else would I come to this temple.
Money, Treasure and glory? Pf-ft!! It was you, darling! Ever since I
had that Bytox treatment for that temporal injury, something in me knew I
had to come here.
Why are you so
surprised? You’re the one who gave me the Bytox treatments darling. Did
you already forget? I mean, why else would we have gotten here
together. Anyways, where were we? Oh yes, I still couldn’t get the
ignition to start so I went to look around the temple trying to figure
out how the DLC worked. It’s just that all of these mechanical pathways
were just so confusing to navigate. Especially not in these heels!
They’re definitely not suited for all of those ladders and the steel
platforms. Of course the heels to be 8 inches. How else would a petite
thing like me reach things otherwise? Jump?? Ohohoho, darling, you make
the silliest jokes.
Also, my flowing
blue dress kept getting caught in the gears, and sometimes my hair did
too! Why didn’t I just make it shorter? Darling, perish the thought… a
Lady does not give up her good looks in spite of inconveniences! Beauty
can be a PAIN, and we must suffer for it sometimes… Oh but I loved that
dress. Its pale blue fit so well with my skin...
Ahem…
carrying on, I didn’t plan on getting time locked like that. What about
the face I made when I got time locked? Fine… I admit I was lubricating
again. That’s why I had that silly open mouth, eye rolled up look when
you found me. Can you blame me? I was in the middle of a peak and before
I knew it, ‘clack’, I was frozen.
Oh…
are you seeing what I’m seeing? So that’s how I changed, Darling. You
can see the lubrication allowing the Bytox to process even while frozen.
My flesh slowly changing to Bytex. Even as a gorgeous human, I couldn’t
compare to the perfection of Bytex flesh. That lovely bright pink hue
and smooth elegant surface. Given the speed of conversion, I likely
would have died of old age before the treatment finished but while
frozen it could process over the next hundred years without issue.
I
think I remember feeling that change. The climax of transition, even
while frozen, becoming your perfect tool touched my very soul Darling.
After all, this is how it was meant to be. The little ‘pop’ sound the,
err, jewels made, was also very on point as they drew in. It was almost
artistic.
Ohohohohoho!
Magnificent! Darling do you see that? My body absorbed into it, wrapping
my body into these perfect curves and of course slowing the degradation
of the clock systems. But I must admit, I do believe that the eddies
have been giving me a little boost in the chest area. I was rather flat
back in the day but 300 years of them might have boosted them a bit to
much. I fell over forwards when you unlocked me for a reason Darling.
Here it is! You come, like a knight in shining armor.
Darling,
the one I’ve been waiting for! My clothes long gone to the passage of
time and those temporal eddies… there you are dressing me, while I admit
black and white maid clothes don’t fit me quiet as well as they do you,
I’ll dress in whatever you want me to.
There you are helping me, my confused self, my new self, myself.
There you are loving me, holding my hand as you push inwards injecting me with your potion to make me who I was meant to be...
DARLINNGG!!!
I
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

End Recollection

System Log, Minute 42834
Side quest Frozen Completed.
Unit Frozen now reclassified as unit Parii Else.
Unit
Parii Else successfully recovered from Temporal Overload. She seems to
have experienced parallel time streams in order to find a non-paradoxal
path in order to stabilize her existence.
Unit
Parii Else has joined this unit’s party. Unit class Courtesan deemed
not useful in system repair quest. However, her Bytex matter body is
deemed very useful. It has the capacity to absorb temporal eddies and
fluxes like a sponge.
Consistent
lubrication required to process and cleanse temporal energies.
Otherwise, systemic overload will occur again. This unit admits though
that the lubrication process is highly enjoyable and unit Para, while
clingy, is an enjoyable partner.

[Side Quest]: Unit Faller
System Log, Minute 53000
Upon
completion of repairs on the Eastern Tower Clock face, it seems the
range for the temporal loop for unit ‘Faller’ has extended. Loop
duration estimated to range from 3:59:34 to 20:12:34 minutes. In
conjunction, loop procedure now reaches twice as far forwards in time.
This brings with it an issue where unit ‘Faller’ now impacts with the
ground. This unit deems the ensuing resounding splatters to be
unpleasant to system sensors.
Upon
basic testing, this unit has found that manual interruptions are
possible though ultimately ineffective. The temporal rewind happens
regardless of the condition of unit ‘Faller’ at the end of its loop.
This unit has calculated and assembled several protocols to possibly
stop the temporal loop, or at least reduce the temporal range again to
prior state. Testing will begin immediately.
~Kaidyn
System Log, Minute 53400
This
unit apologizes to unit ‘Faller’. Dimensional flow was insufficiently
measured in the initial attempts. As such, several of the attempted
protocols resulted in... messy failures. This unit has determined that
temporal loop breaks are required to be re-introduced manually for each
loop. External, static matter, such as netting to catch unit ‘Faller’,
does not exist on the same temporal scale as the temporal loop. This
renders such protocols useless and instead results in fatal hazards. As
such, nets should be replaced for each loop.
This unit has determined that while the temporal rewind undoes any physical harm, residual spiritual trauma still lingers.
Further
examination of the temporal loop on unit ‘Faller’ reveals that it is
looping in perfect synchronization with temporal framework of the
temple’s Tower Clock. This unit is currently unable to calculate a
protocol to disassociate the temporal flow. However, system estimations
say that restoring the grand clock should also restore unit ‘Faller’ to
standardized time. Unit Parii has volunteered to manually resolve the
temporal loops while this unit finishes its repairs of the Tower
sections.

Unreal time Recollections with Unit ‘Faller’.
“Damn,
what nice view,” I said as I was staring down at the rest of the
caverns. I mean, standing on top of the temple, even I had to admit that
it was very pretty scenic view. Well, as pretty as a cavernous dungeon
could be with its glittering crystalline rock surfaces reflecting the
light that shone down from the gaping hole above the temple. All sorts
of colours shimmered all around like rainbows. Despite its beauty thou,
the constant sound of ticking clocks throughout the caves stood as a
stark reminded of the clockwork monstrosities roaming about. Luckily
though, their pathways around the area was patterned literally like
clockwork. As such, my skills as a mountain bandit turned thief had paid
off in spades. My bandit tracking skills in conjunction with my thief’s
silent steps more or less let me avoid the paths of the vast majority
of the lumbering clock faced constructs.
“Brocky,
old boy, you’ve outdone yourself this time,” I said to myself as I
smashed a hole into the face of the clock tower with my trusty sword’s
hilt. I’m not going to lie, solo dungeon runs do tend to make one a bit
stir crazy after a while, hence why I got used to talking to myself.
When it’s essentially just you and the dungeon monsters, aka the things
that are trying to transform or kill you for however long the run takes,
one tends to find themselves talking out loud whenever they get the
chance. Still damn right I was going to gloat! The cowards at the guild
hall all refused to party up with me for this quest. Brock Lastin would
have the last laugh here! Cowards, the lot of them. They were all afraid
of the new temporal energies building up around the main temple. All
except for me.
I do have to admit
that the amorphous giant rainbow colored energy field… thingy at the
entrance was pretty ominous. However, I solved that problem by breaking
in from the top instead. Given the pristine condition of the grand
clocks, I doubt anyone else had ever tried entering from the top before.
I didn’t see why though because with the right gear and some good skill
scaling, it was easy as pie.
“So...
let’s get to it,” I told myself as I carefully and slowly entered. I
reminded myself that I probably only had a few more minutes at best
before the clock’s hourly bells rung which at this distance would likely
be deafening. However, how could I worry about that when the sight of
the interior was… well, it was amazing to put it simply. It was the kind
of sight that makes one wonder what the ancients could manage before
the chaos god invasions mucked up this world. I could only watch as
thousands of Giant gears grinded against each other, moving the entire
temple about. In the meantime, what I could only assume were magitech
columns built into the wall pulsated with purplish light against the
interior frame like a giant organism.
There
was no clear footing behind the clock face where I entered. Of course,
that wasn’t a huge surprise, given that I forcefully created this
entrance. Tracing the framework, it looked like there was a door near
the 12 hour mark that led to a central room of sorts that connected all
four clock faces of the tower. Inside must be the gears that powered
them. However, there was no way to reach the pathway simply by climbing.
What I did see thou was a small ladder that went from the platform down
to a different platform below. It was quite a ways away from where I
was, but the jump looked doable.
“And
a one... and a two… and a Three!!” I counted out loud as I jumped
forwards. However, as I jumped, I noticed some kind of energy field
rippling up the clocktower like a tidal wave just a second too late. As
it approached, I crossed my arms in front of me to brace for the impact,
only to realize that the wave seemingly passed through me harmlessly…?
All
that I could feel was an overwhelming sense of deja vu hitting me while
my senses had to take a moment to reorient. It felt so strange, as if
the ripple in time had hit me before. As if I had jumped this distance
many times before. As if I had fallen down many times before. Wait…
falling?!
“Oh crap!” I shouted as
gravity once more took hold of me. There was no time to even start
wondering about what that strange ripple was. I desperately reached
forwards to grab the ladder, but I simply fell short. And thus, I fell
but rather than panic, I instead felt… annoyed? Yet again, deja vu took a
hold of me as I seemingly recalled falling and being caught many times
before. Reflexively, my body simply relaxed as I landed in some kind of
net…
“What the fuck!?” I shouted in surprise “Who the fuck are you!?”
“Now now, calm down, you’re safe and so-” a female voice said.
“How can you be so fucking calm?!” I shouted.
“Alright,
that’s enough of that. You should wash your mouth,” the female voice
said as I felt something enter my mouth. It was soap.
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle” I cried as the soap went in and out.
Wait,
was that really a deja vu? The sensation felt so real. I could
practically taste the soap bubbles as it was forced into my mouth over
and over again. What was I doing? Oh right, I was jumping to the ladder.
Oh snookie, I was jumping!
“Oh
snap!” I shouted as gravity once more took hold of me. There was no time
to even start wondering about the strange taste in my mouth. I
desperately reached forwards to grab the ladder, but I simply fell
short. And thus, I fell but rather than panic, I instead felt… annoyed?
Yet again, deja vu took a hold of me as I seemingly recalled falling and
being caught many times before. Reflexively, my body simply relaxed as I
landed in a silken soft net…
“What
the Fluffy?” I shouted said in surprise. Wait what? Did I really just
say fluffy?? I wasn’t some kind of moral paragon. I always curse like a
sailor. Bad words wasn’t really something I gave much thought but it
felt like something warned me. As if something had scared me out of my
usual choice of words. In its place, the taste of lavender bubbles in my
mouth felt so visceral.
“Hmm, I
guess we don’t need to have a cleaning session this time either,” a
familiar female voice cut into my introspection. Looking up, I saw a
rather sexy looking pink catgirl maid leaning over the edge of the
platform above the ladder, smirking at me. She easily hoisted the
netting up before dropping me unceremoniously on the cog like platform.
“Thanks
Parii,” I said, as I wormed my way out of the net before checking
myself over for any wounds. My clothes have seen better days, but that
was rather odd, seeing as they were in perfectly good condition mere
moments ago before I jumped. Pausing that thought I turned to the
catgirl again, curiously.
“Wait…
do I know you?” I asked her. She was so familiar, and I somehow knew her
name, but I was certain that I had never seen her before now. Was this…
another deja vu?
“We’ve
introduced ourselves dozens of times already,” the catgirl said. “My
name is Parii Else and you, sir, are Brock Lastin.” Parii sighed, she
gave me a rather bored glare then as she paused in contemplation. “I’ll
give you the standard speech. You are stuck in a looping temporal trap,
meaning that you have been falling here again and again for a while, and
my darling Kaidyn is working on fixing it. However, the time she’s
spending on helping you is cutting into our main quest timeline, which
is fixing up this entire clocktower, so the least we can do is to help
out with some of the basic work in the meantime. Of course, there’s no
telling when you’ll snap back in time again because that’s been quite
random, but darling did say that she was almost done repairing the
southern tower’s face so maybe that will change things up.”
I
took a moment to let all of this information sink in. a time loop would
certainly explain the deja vu. If I had been looking so much, then I
will have met Parii here for the first time over and over again. My
contemplation was cut short however as I realized what was asked of me.
“And if I refuse?” I asked defiantly as I wasn’t about to get muscled
into free labor for this Kaidyn… wait, Kaidyn?? Why was that name so
familiar? I could have sworn I’ve heard it before. Have I met her in an
earlier loop just like Parii? Perhaps, but it felt like there was more
going on as I could feel my heart beating faster…
Parii
simply pointed down over the side of the platform. “If you don’t help
us, then we won’t help you,” she said. Turning to look myself, I could
see how high above the tower’s floor we really were when another wave of
deja vu washed over me.
I could feel the rush of the air as I whizzed through it. The ground came at me closer and closer until…
I could hear the bones in my body shatter…
Pain… everything… everywhere… why can’t I move…
A
warm embrace brought me out my shivering trance. Parii’s bosom softly
pressed against my head as she tried to push down the sensations of
phantom pain… of death. “There there, it’s ok. I’m here to make sure
that doesn’t happen anymore,” she said with a melancholic look.
“I’ve…
died,” I stuttered, still half in shock. “Tha… Thank you.” I blushed,
just as Parii let go of her hug forlornly. Fluffy… I had died...
countless of times if what the catgirl told me was true. Yes… I knew it
in my soul that it was true and if this Kaidyn was trying to free me
from it, the least I could do was to help out in whatever way I could.
Parii
looked a little sheepish then. “I’m sorry for the information dump but
being blunt has been the most time effective way I’ve found to explain
the situation with you. Before… you know...”
“No,
uh, no worries,” I said as I finally composed myself again. “I’m pretty
hard headed so laying it all out and forcing me to confront it is just
what I needed.” I nodded understandingly as I stood up and I found
myself smiling. I even felt the need to flex a little at Parii, only
that turned out to be a bad idea. As I did so, my pants literally
started tearing at the seams.
Parii
simply giggled then. “The wearing on your clothes has gotten
substantially worse since they no longer completely loop with you after
the synchronization of section 90 was repaired. It caused the temporal
loop points to change a little. I’ll ask Darling to make additional
clothes for you but until then, try not to strain your existing outfit
too much more.”
“Section 90?
What’s that?” I asked before I realized I’ve probably asked the same
questions dozens of times. “If you don’t mind my asking.”
“No
worries. It’s just one of the key sections of the Grand Clock. Darling
is halfway finished with the repairs so that there will no longer be any
ripples like the one that trapped you in simpler terms. Anyways,
perhaps you can go dust off section 103. You can get there by going up
those stairs. I’m sure you’ll find it easily,” Parii said as she handed
me a pair of giant feather dusters to work with. Twirling the sword
sized dusters, they were surprisingly heavy yet still lighter than
similarly sized blades. The metallic feathers of the dusters were
surprisingly dense too.
“Hm? You’re not coming?” I asked when I noticed that Parii wasn’t following me.
“I
kinda have to stay here in case your temporal loop resets again. Like I
said, it’s kinda random when it loops back, and if I’m not here when it
does… well, I think you can guess the rest,” Parii replied with an
awkward shrug.
“Oh… right…” I replied, trying my best not to think about all of my previous deaths in too much detail.
“Don’t
worry, you’re already more skilled than me so you’ll be fine,” Parii
smiled as she waved me off. Of course, I must have been taught by Parii
here in previous cycles and this knowledge would probably simply come to
him as yet another deja vu.
The
walk up the spiral staircase already brought back flood of distant,
overlapping memories from previous time loops of the various platforms I
passed on my way up.
“Dust on, Dust off” I copied Parii’s motion in order to effectively group up and then dispel the dust.
“Dust on, Dust off” I repeated the mantra as I found myself dusting on my own on a circular gear
“Dust on, DUST OFF!” My experienced skills made quick work of the dust as I felt like a cyclone of cleanliness.
I
realized that I must have done a lot of dusting off already, seeing as
most of these sections were speckless. A fine job if I do say so myself,
even if I don’t fully remember them. However, that’s when I reached an
unfamiliar sight even to my past selves as my memories ended on the
previous platform. Looking over the edge of the platform, it seemed that
this platform was located even higher than the Grand Clock faces. From
here, it was even possible to reach the roof of the tower by way of four
elaborately detailed miniature gates of sorts in all four directions.
While the gates did tickle my curiosity, I could only do one thing at a
time and there’s no telling when I would snap back again, mostly
forgetting about everything that happened in this cycle. Parii wanted
this area dusted and I had learned just the skills to do so. I didn’t
remember learning it, but it was as if my body acted on instinct as I
braced the twin dusters against my shoulders. I drew forth my ki and
gathered the energy in my muscles before finally beginning.
“Dust
on!” I shouted as I used the first duster to tear forwards through the
dust on the floor. The wind howled as it blew up a huge dust cloud.
“Dust-” I wanted to shout while I readied my second move, but then I was
interrupted.
BONG BONG BONG
The
incredibly loud sound of the grand bell echoed through the entire tower
and I stumbled over forwards in shock. It felt like everything was
shaking, especially since I was so close to the bell.
BONG BONG BONG
The deafening sound shook me like a leaf. I attempted to cover my ears but it did absolutely nothing.
BONG BONG BONG
The
bell’s bonging simply kept on going for what felt like an eternity. I
couldn’t tell when it stopped exactly, since my ears were still ringing
minutes later. When I finally opened my eyes again, I found myself
blinded. Due to the bell’s interruption, the dust cloud had not been
dispersed yet by my second move of the combo. The cloud was so thick
that I could barely see the tip of my own nose. In fact, the sounding of
the bell had made it all even worse as it was now more like a miasma.
More importantly was the fact that it was so thick that I could barely
breathe. I started coughing uncontrollably but it simply did not help.
Every breath I took brought in more dust than I was able to cough out. I
had to get out of here! I opened my eyes to try and see if there was
something distinguishable. My eyes watered due to the swirling dust, but
I was able to make out a light somewhere to the left. Thus, I stumbled
towards it, hoping to the gods that it would be one of the small gates.
Sure enough, I was able to open something and without hesitating, I
crawled through it.
I found
myself sneezing as I still coughed vigorously, yet I was finally able to
breathe in normally again. Rather than dust, my nostrils were instead
filled with the scent of the chilly, musty, cavernous poop smell Wait...
poop smell? Opening my eyes again, most of the dust had been cleared
away by my tears again now, allowing me to see again. I found myself
staring down from the roof of the clock tower. The view was even better
than before! At least, it is if you didn’t count the various birds
cooing at me as they all flew away from me in surprise.
I
couldn’t remember seeing birds up here when I was climbing the tower
before, but then again, this was the roof section. The walkway around
the crown of the tower was surprisingly spacious, and it was probably
used just for the lovely view back in the day. Other than that, there
wasn’t much to see up here. Well, except for...
“Well,
hello there, mister Treasure Chest. Fancy meeting you here! I guess
those two haven’t been up here yet and… well, it’s not like they said I
couldn’t take anything,” I reasoned to myself as I approached it. I was
probably still stuck in that loop thingy that Parii mentioned but that
didn’t mean I couldn’t check it out now. Who knows, maybe my mind will
subconsciously remember this chest and its contents if I snap back
again.
I eagerly flipped open the
lid. Maybe there would be jewels or other riches inside. Maybe even a
DLC! I prayed to the gods for such goodies but what I found instead was…
a let down to say the least.
“What
is this??” I asked myself as I inspected the item. It was some kind of
metal cone and that was all there was to it. Why would anyone put a
stupid metal cone in a treasure chest! Well, loot is loot, I guessed, so
I picked it up anyway. The moment I did though, everything shifted
again. It felt like my mind was getting scrambled, just as it had when
the ripple hit me in the tower, only this was different. My memories
from Parii and the walk up until now were still intact, yet I felt new
deja vu’s. I realized then what was happening. I was looping again, but
my loop had changed! I felt my head swirl badly as I relived loop after
loop…
I found myself walking
backwards into the clocktower. My body was perfectly mimicking my
movements forwards, only in reverse this time. The dust was still
everywhere, but there was simply no stopping it. I fumbled for breath,
but my lungs burned! I hoped that Parii might come to my aid as I moved
back to the spiralling staircase…
I
was moving forwards again, but my body still would not listen! There I
went, kicking up the dust again right before the bell started ringing
again. My chest burned due to the dust as I scrambled forwards, making
my way to the roof again…
The
constant assault on my lungs by the dust was getting unbearable, but I
could do nothing about it!! My body simply began its march backwards
once again! This time, however, I managed to hold onto the chest at the
end of my loop. I tried holding on for dear life, hoping it would
somehow stop my loop. It would not last though as the chest shattered
into pieces. The cone-shaped item inside flew through the air as I
re-entered the dusty room backwards. Somehow it managed to land right
onto my face, latching on it tightly as if it had always been there,
right as the door to the roof closed again...
“This
dust needs to be cleaned upcoo,” I said as my mind cleared again. The
deja vu from earlier seemed rather odd… Why would my mind think that my
mask was not on my face before? I mean, I always wore it to combat dusty
rooms.
‘coooo cooooo’
the beak’s filtration systems sounded as I worked. The thick dust would
have been too much for anyone but not for me, all thanks to my mask’s
filtration system. As I worked though, I noticed… no… another deja cuu!
Dust
On!!! Dust OFF!!! I shouted as I used my cleaning skills, which I had
mastered through untold hours of cleaning. I tried to push the dust out
of the door but the maisma of dust simply weaved around my dusters
uselessly. I needed something more!
Countless
tries and countless methods and styles did not get me anywhere! Each
time, the clock would simply ring again, resetting all of my efforts.
The
dusters were just not enough. My feathers needed to be fluffier!!! I
preened my beak against the dusters. LONGER!! FLUFFIER!!!
The dusters were almost enough, my feathers needed to be shinier!!! I preened my beak against my dusters. HARDER!! SHINIER!!!!!!
My dusters were never enough. my feathers needed to be bestest of all!!!! I preened my beak against my dusters.
“Coooo!”
I cried out as I admired my handiwork. All of the dust had dissipated
at long last, leaving a spotless room. I preened my mighty dusters again
as my shimmering golden wings unfolded. I couldn’t help but show off
how shiny and sexy they were. I was so proud of them after all.
“Hey,
I like the new look!” Parii said with a surprised look on her face as
she entered the room from the spiral staircase. “Darling said she
managed to push your loop’s timing forward a bit but it looks like
someone’s been busy here!”
“Cooo,
dustie no match for my shiny!” I bristled proudly. “I beat all the
dustie for Parii and Kai Kai, just like you asked, coo.”
“That’s
great! Darling said it’ll still be a bit before she’ll be done with the
final re-calibrations though. Till then, you might still randomly start
looping again,” Parii said with a thoughtful look on her face. “Hmm,
perhaps you can clean up the rim of the roof still?”
“Oh! oh! me do that!” I said, already moving over to the door outside, only to be grabbed by Parii
“Wait! Let’s first… take care of something” Parii whispered into my ear.
“What?!!” I asked surprised as I could once again feel the familiar sense of deja cu.
Surprised…
smiling… smirking... teasing... I could see hundreds of expressions
upon her face, each from different loops. I could feel a hundred
reactions.
“I’d rather wear nothing then that fro-fro stuff!” I cooed in disgust at the outfit that Parii had gotten me.
“The arms don’t show off my dusters at all!” I whined as Parii adjusted the shoulder straps.
“Ok,
I’ll admit, it’s comfortable and not as fro fro as I thought… but that
doesn’t mean I like it!” I cooed at Parii as I enjoyed the feeling of
the silken material on my skin.
“What
the fluffy am I wearing? Hmm so shiny… and sexy… and shiny!” I cooed as
I found myself staring at the metallic reflection of myself in the
nearby bell. Mainly, I was looking at the maid outfit that Parii had
dressed me in. It had been perfectly tailored to fit my size. It was
really… really comfortable! Not that I would admit that though. I also
had to say that it didn’t look bad at all, given that it was mostly skin
tight and oh so shiny! The arms had been widened to allow me to show
off my wings. I could even tuck my wings in if I wanted, in case I
needed to rest them. As if I would ever do that though. I liked showing
them too much!
“Hmm, I’m tempted
to lubricate you myself...” Parii said as she licked her lower lip. Her
tongue… could do that? I cooed and shivered in desire in return. “But…
Darling gets first dibs…” While the wait did disappoint me slightly, I
knew that it was going to happen regardless.
“KShiny!” I tweeted at the idea of her shininess. Thoughts filled my mind of Kaidyn, Parii and me, having so much fun… cooooo…
“Easy
there,” Parii chuckled as she wiped off some of my fantasy-induced
drool. “Since you’re no longer in danger of falling to your death, I’ll
go help out around the tower again. I’ll be back when Darling is done,
okay?” she smirked as she walked towards the stairs again.
“Coo!” I tweeted before heading outside.
Looking
over the ledge of the clocktower, I could see that it was a long way
down. If I were to fall, it would be very bad for me. I had cleaned up
the roof’s rim, of an unholy amount of bird poop but there was still the
outside of the clock faces on each side of the tower. They looked so
dusty! One of them even had a shattered window, as if someone had jumped
through there… There was only one problem. How would I get down to them
without falling? I said I would shiny them for Kaidyn and Parii but
this could be very dangerous. My wings were no good for climbing after
all! Wait… of course… I felt myself grow beet red in embarrassment as I
realized that I had wings. I could just fly down! Why would I need to
climb? Thus, I spread my wings but right as I was about to take off, I
could feel a new set of deja cu’s.
Cuckoo!
My wings fluttered wildly as I tried to fly, but it was so hard to
regain my balance in mid-air! I tried hovering but all I did was go
lower… faster and faster!
Cuckoo!
I wasn’t a bad flier but I certainly wasn’t the best. I was only barely
able to keep myself flying in place. At least I no longer crash landed…
Cuckoo! Flying was almost like second nature to me! Of course, I have flown all my life, so why would it not be!
As
my mind cleared again, I shrugged and took off, flying down to each
clock face and cleaning them with ease. Bird poop, dust and gravel were
no match for my wings! My new outfit allowed me to do so well on this
too! Why had I been so against it when Parii put it on me? This was
perfect! Oh, and the suit’s own lubrication modules work so well!! I
don’t need to get my wings wet or anything!
“Brock? you there?” Parii’s voice echoed up above me somewhere.
“Who’s Brock??” I asked as I flew up in front of her. The name sounded familiar somewhere… “No Brock here. Just Bwyki!”
“Ah!
Of course, how silly of me!” Parii chuckled as she saw me. She halted
for a moment and… I could have sworn I saw some drool on her! “Anyway,
Darling finished the repairs! But she said that we’ll need to get you
synchronized with the clock’s timing first before we can desynchronize
you completely.”
BONG One
BONG Two
BONG Coo
I
counted out loud with each bong, just as Kaidyn had asked of me. It
felt natural for me to do so as a man… no… no, as a maid! Of course,
that was right. I was a maid!
BONG One
BONG Coo
BONG Cuckoo!
I shouted it now. This was my task! As bell tolls, I must come out and cuckoo!
BONG Cuckoo!
BONG Cuckoo!
BONG Cuckoo!
I sang it to her!! No matter where I was, I would always come back here to sing it!
BONG CUCKOO!!!

Side quest Faller Completed.
Unit Faller now reclassified as unit Bwyki
Unit
Bwyki was successfully removed from the temporal Loop. However, the
unit seems to have retained a localized portion of the loop at each full
hour. Unit Bwyki has renamed this occurrence ‘Deja Cu’.
Unit
Bwyki has also joined this unit’s party now. This unit believes that
she is a huge boon. Her looping has enabled unit Bwyki to learn new
skills in a very short amount of time through her many loops. These new
skills has allowed her to assist in any tasks that this unit is
incapable of doing herself.
The units
Bwyki and Parii initially conflicted over their relationship with this
unit, but apparently have since worked out an agreement in the form of a
synchronization schedule.
This unit is unsure if it should be happy or fearful.
~Kaidyn
[Side Quest]: Ager
System Log, Minute 64000
This
unit notes that the synchronization sessions have been enjoyable.
However, measurements indicate that the excess amount of lubrication
produced by units Parii and Bwyki during these sessions has been
interfering with repair procedures. Synchronization of the Grand Clock
requires lubrication, only less than what is actually produced. This has
required retuning, transportation and storage of the excess fluids.
Overall timeline is still operating above the original projected
forecast, but it is still below optimization. In order to reduce the
time for the required disposure from important tower sections, this unit
has relocated the lubrication sessions to the bath chambers as there
are no important systems there that would be affected.

Unreal time Recollections with Unit Ager
“Googoo
gah? Gah? Blullbb??” I stumbled as the whole ‘going from baby to eighty
in 10 seconds flat’ thing was pretty nauseating to say the least.
Being
a baby for any duration was… interesting, though it was likely the only
reason I haven’t gone completely insane yet because of the mental
regression to simpler times.
“My
name is… Omar… Omar… Omar, Omar,” I repeated over and over again. I had
gotten used to burning it into my memory like a mantra. I had originally
ignored basic information about myself like that in my attempts to
escape, but after so many tries and countless of times spent regressing
to a baby, I realized one day that I simply couldn’t recollect my full
name, or most of my past for that matter. The shortened retention and
lack of basic knowledge had made it melt away like snow in the summer.
Therefore, by saying my name over and over again, I at least burned my
name back into my short term memory. It took me quite a few cycles to
even remember it, and I’m not even sure if the name ‘Omar’ is correct,
but it does sound like I’d be called that.
Sighing,
I lamented on the futility of it all as I could once again feel my skin
beginning to shrivel. I was reaching my old age again… This loop was
definitely one of the more moderate ones, judging by the other poor sods
I had noticed stuck in the temple. I had no idea how long I had been
stuck either. Just looking around room I was in, which was seemingly
some kind of bathhouse, I have likely been imprisoned in this temporal
bubble for decades at the least. After all, there was a sizeable amount
of dust that had built up around me.
But…
wait… what? I clearly remembered dust around me from the last time I
looked around. Was it cleaned recently? Those stupid baby thoughts make
it so hard to judge when that was… I tapped my chin in thought as my
knees began to creak, which was usually a sign that I was at the end of
the age loop. I remember then… there was that old guy and that maid that
passed by recently. Or were there more maids?? I remember some black
and white outfits… I couldn’t think about it for long though as I felt
myself becoming younger again, and fast. Younger and younger as my
coherent thoughts started slipping away again. Annoyance, upset, anger,
fear… and thus I did the only thing I could do. I cried.
“Ga ga? Goo? WAHHHHHH!!!!!!!”
“Hmm?
what seems to have upset unit Ager?” a robotic female voice spoke.
“Where are units Bwiky and Parii? They were instructed to keep an eye on
you.” The pretty mom person babbled something that my primitive mind
could not possibly comprehend as she picked me up to comfort me.
“Ga ga,” my crying stopped as she rocked me back and forth. It felt so soothing and motherly… I was happy again. Relaxed again.
“Peekaboo!!” A furry cat-like person shouted, appearing suddenly from behind the pretty mom person.
Surprise!
I shouted and laughed. I was enjoying myself. That’s when I noticed
something. “ohhh tail… catch tail!” Eagerly, I tried to reach for the
cat person’s tail, wanting eagerly to grab it.
“The
duration for unit Ager’s loop cycle is increasing slowly, but it is
still far from regular time synchronization,” the mom person said.
“Come
on, darling. Lubrication first. Work after,” the cat person replied.
The mommas’ babbling was so hard to follow. They were just noises to me,
but their voices were nice to listen to. That said though, the mom
person had decided to put me back down. Now no longer holding me, I felt
unsafe… scared…
“Bye bye, Agey,
we’ll get to you soon, I promise“ Kitty said as I found myself floating
all alone again. Thus, I cried once more.
“WAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!”
During
my crying though, I tasted something. It was quite smooth to the touch.
Did this come from the mommas? I couldn’t figure it out, but what I did
soon realize was that this wasn’t food. Not at all! It tasted gross and
only made me want to cry more!
“WAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
What
was happening? I should have grown up again by now. I was definitely
stuck as a baby for longer than normal. I had faint recollections of it
though. I remember people holding me. The warmth from being held… or was
it something else? Something smooth and soothing… I could feel the
sensations all around me. Was I covered in it? And then there was the
taste… yes I remember tasting something gross. My stomach churned as I
could actually still taste it. It was as if I had been chewing on
something rusty.
“ble ble” I
groaned, trying to cleanse my mouth by spitting it out but if anything,
the smell and taste only got stronger. Did it have something to do with
the soothing sensations that were covering me? Was it some sort of goo
that I was now tasting? I could feel the bile building up in my stomach
as my throat could no longer hold it back. As if something was
forcefully pulling it in. Something… or someone?
“BLARGG!!!!! BBBLARGGGGG!!!!!”
I
tried to push out the goo… but there was a part of me who was eagerly
pulling it deep inside my stomach. Wait, what? Was it me who was pushing
it in or was it the goo? It was like there were two of me. As if the
goo and I were one and the same. There was no ‘I’ or ‘me’ anymore. There
was ‘we’ and ‘us’. We were two. We were one. Brought together into one
being.
We could feel seemingly
endless amounts of this rusty, oily fluid coming out of our mouth, our
nose, our ears. We cringed as we could even feel it coming from our
ears. And yet… it tasted good? Of course it tasted good. The goo was a
part of us. We were the goo as much as we were a person. What was once
separate and alone was now together.
What
was our name again? O… something with an O… Fleeting thoughts went
through our head, trying to remember our name. O… Oma… no, we were Oria.
We were greater than our parts. We were whole. We were one.
We
were a growing baby… but we weren’t. We were new but we were old.
Growing and growing, yet staying the same, until we were adult again.
Yet... we were not happy. This human form… it limited us. Confined us.
How could our ooze spread further like this? How could we truly grow? We
must evolve. We must become greater!
And
yet… this human body was a part of us too. We couldn’t simply destroy
it, but the fact that it was stuck in this random aging loop was
annoying. We must overcome it… but one thing at a time. First, we
produce more ooze. Then, we let our ooze spread through our human form,
enveloping our insides. And finally, we absorb it into ourselves.
While
this was a great first step, we cannot stop here. Our skin… it still
feels like a prison to us. We must overcome it! And thus we repeat the
process.
Produce more ooze...
Envelope our human husk…
Absorb and become one with it...
Yes,
yes, yes! This is much better. We are now fully one. We have become
greater… but there was still the matter of our aging and regressing. It
was enjoyable but random. Erratic. It confined us. We had to break out.
We had to exceed both its end and its beginning!
Produce…
Envelope…
Absorb…
Thus,
we went to work, but this wasn’t so simple. In order to absorb the
aging bubble, we had to turn it into a loop. We had to link the ending
to the beginning. Forever beginning anew. Forever restarting. Never
ending. And so we go on. Thus we evolve!
And
with that, we have broken free! We are no longer confined by the bubble
that once held us. Rather, we have trapped it! This is so much better
for us. It fueled us.
We
were greater than we were. We were one. We were free from the confines
that have held us before, having absorbed it all. But we were formless…
How could we possibly go on like this? We had to adapt. We had to evolve
further!
Memories
resurfaced. Memories of the one we called momma once. Our progenitor…
Kaidyn. We decided to mimic our body to her image. A cute face, slim
arms, a modestly sized pair of breasts, dainty hands, long hair, a
modestly sized pair of breasts, a flat stomach, a cute hourglass figure…
yes, this was all going quite well. We could even form legs if we
wanted to, but they were ultimately unnecessary for one such as
ourselves. Naturally though, should our progenitor require it of us, we
will happily form them. And thus, we appear human again on the outside,
but we were so much greater than a mere human. We knew we were. The good
thing about this form, though, is that we could now lubricate with our
progenitor too!
Hmm, our
progenitor… we fantasized about her then… when we remembered a flaw in
our new form. While our progenitor dressed in clothing, we were still
naked! Though we dislike confines, we love our progenitor. Thus… we
should ‘dress’ as well. After all, we have evolved for her.
We
alter ourselves further, making it seem we are wearing clothing. On our
chest, we wear a white, frilly piece, with a ribbon at our neck. Black
cuffs around our wrists and a frilly headband in our hair. We must
appear as our progenitor. We must appear as a maid for her...
System Log, Minute 70000
Side quest Ager Completed.
Unit Ager reclassified as unit Oria
It
appears that unit Oria ingested some of the excess lubrication fluids
produced in the bath chambers. By doing so, the fluids interacted with
the bacteria in her stomach, resulting in a simple, sentient ooze. It
became recognized as an internal organism by her body and as such, it
aged within the chrono-loop.
As oozes
tend to do, it started expanding and producing more of itself rapidly.
It quickly spread throughout the rest of her body, fusing with the host
and forming a singular symbiotic intelligence.
Using
its volume production, Oria expanded and eventually overflowed the
temporal bubble they were trapped in before absorbing it. The temporal
bubble is still keyed to unit Oria, but it now processed as her energy
source.
Unit Oria references me as
her progenitor, since the lubrication originates from me. Her natural
state has made resolving liquid system issues significantly faster.
Though like the other units, she has resolved to be included into the synchronization schedule.
[Side Quest]: Unit Teleporter
System Log, Minute 63636
Upon
repair of the digital communication hubs, data analysis has revealed
that these locations correlate with known locations of the parts of unit
‘Teleporter’. This unit’s current hypothesis is that the frequencies
for the digital communication systems were interfacing with alternate
dimensions due to damage which resulted in spatial overflow. This
crossed with whichever dimension ‘teleporter’ was utilizing in their
teleportation matrices. As a result, it interrupted the communications
process and split the communications channels, along with his body and
mind. If this hypothesis is correct, this unit postulates with 99%
certainty that it can retrieve and reassemble the teleporter digitally,
given sufficient storage space. This unit recalls seeing an extra
Crystal Drive in maintenance chambers. Upon confirmation of hypothesis,
this unit will attempt the completion of side quest ‘Teleporter’.
~Kaidyn
System Log, Minute 66666
Unit
Teleporter extraction was mostly successful. This unit has cause for
celebration now. However, though the extraction portion of the quest was
a success, this unit laments that she forgot to check if the Crystal
Drive she found held any existing data. This unit notes that the
Teleporters data has been mushed together with what looks like leftover
game data. This unit has instructed the other units to manage a
de-fragmentation process in hopes that the data will be salvageable.

Unreal time Recollections with Unit Teleporter
“Huh??”
Tye pondered, confused at everything as his eyes suddenly flicked wide
open. The mage paused as his thoughts jumbled to and fro within his
head. The last thing he could recall was casting a teleport spell to get
inside of a temple? Or was it a treasure room? He gave it some more
thought, trying to remember the details since everything after that was
just a pixelated blur of motion. Tye started to pace about as he often
did when he needed to think only to find himself... Well that’s when he
noticed that he wasn’t standing on the ground…
“What
the heck?! Why am I floating?” Tye asked no one in particular but he
didn’t have time to really consider it. The mage barely had enough time
to react as a large set of box-like objects careened past him. “WHOAH!”
he yelled, barely dodging out of the way. Only now was he finally able
to take a good look at his surroundings. He found himself in what looked
like an endlessly large area. It was primarily white with translucent
red lines forming connections between the countless little blocks that
surrounded him.
As another group
of pixelated cubes whizzed past him, one of them halted in front of him
and formed a kind of window, showing an image within its glossy surface.
Tye saw… himself as he remembered. That disheveled, short, messy blonde
hair, his cheap box shaped glasses to fix his crappy eyesight, his
build was intelligible under his broad wizardly robes but even he knew
it was lanky given how lose everything felt. Though it definitely felt
looser than normal...
Tye paused
to ponder about that, taking a deep breath as the cube with his image
floated off again. That’s when he noticed that something was very off!
“AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”
Tye screamed as he got a good look at his body, or what was left of it
at least. While there was a clearly visible bluish outline of his body,
the details were mostly a pixelated blur, or the parts were just
straight up missing, being replaced with what could only be described as
stick figure joints.
“Okay… Breath
in, Breath out,” Tye whispered to himself as he tried to calm himself
down. “My name is Tye LaFluffybuns… I’m a… wait no that’s not right. My
name. It’s just Tye... Keener? I think? Everything is so jumbled.
It’s... what… what was I doing? What am I even looking at?!?” Tye
panicked when he realized that his memories also had holes in it just
like his body. Holes large enough to fit a wagon through. He tried very
hard to remember anything at all but it just would not return to him!
“The
cube!” Tye shouted as he remember seeing his full self just moments
ago. Turning to where the cube with the image of him had flown off to,
he noticed a large collection of cubes forming a sphere of sorts in the
distance. There had to be hundreds, if not, thousands of them. Finding
the cube would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
>CD Origin\
“What was that?!” Tye paused as the command flickered through his mind. It did that when he touched the red line that the cube had been traveling on. It apparently worked on transporting him quite easily, much like the cubes, as he found himself dragged over to the cluster with terrifying speed. It made him quite nauseous. When he got to the cluster though, he felt quite lost.
“Damn where was it? There has to be hundreds in here!” Tye said as he scanned the hundreds of cubes. Not only were there so many, he noticed that new cubes were constantly arriving here as well. Well, there was nothing else to it. He had to start checking them. As he moved over to grab one, the cluster suddenly started spinning faster and Tye found himself touching some kind of door handle?
>Origin10.exe
Another command popped into his mind then as everything went dark. Soon he saw… himself? Were these memories? Was the cluster showing him things that have happened in the past?
It was the first day of his internship at the temple and by the gods. The stories of this place really didn’t give it justice. The technology had to be on par with some of the empire’s finest. The sheer amount of machinations here for even the acolyte level to memorize was migraine inducing. It had been a long and quite tiring first day. Moving for the exit, wanting to turn in for the night, he smacked right into someone. It felt like he had hit a stone wall or something as he stumbled backwards, falling to the floor. A hand reached down for him then. When he grabbed it, he saw who he had bumped into. She was the most gorgeous thing that he had ever seen in his entire life. Her slick metallic skin, those sharp, saw-like teeth, that slim sexy figure, that cute maid outfit.
“Unit Kaidyn apologizes for not anticipating the path finding of Unit Newbie. Is Unit Newbie injured? Unit Kaidyn has noticed that Unit Newbie has been staring slack jawed for several moments,” Kaidyn said
- Apologize and excuse yourself.
- Sit there slack jawed for several more minutes.
- Run away crying as you try to hide your boner.
- Get on your knees and declare your undying love.
Tye’s face twitched. None of this was making sense to him. These memories were quite alien to him. His first day at this temple was all part of his goal: To investigate the temple’s magical protections. After all, he wanted to break through them and teleport in later. So why then did he get these four, strange options? Clearly he didn’t say or do any of these thi-
- Get on your knee and declare your undying love.
Wait what?! He didn’t-
For Tye it was love at first sight. As such, he did what only the love stricken would do: he got on his knees and groveled as if his life depended on it.
“I love you! Will you be mine?!” Tye shouted. He was half confessing and half begging, holding Kaidyn’s hand in the process.
“This unit thinks Unit Newbie may need to see a professional psychologist class. Please endeavor to do so before we next meet,” Kaidyn stated matter-of-factly before suddenly moving significantly farther away down the hall.
- Do what she said and meet with a professional psychologist.
- Cry and drown your sorrows in food.
- Resolve yourself for true love requires trials.
- Chase after her like an unrepentant stalker.
“What?! I did nothing of the sort!” Tye shouted as his face twitched in outrage. This was just getting ridiculous. He didn’t do any of these things... right??
- Chase after her like an unrepentant stalker.
Tye knew she didn’t mean any of that. He just had to get her to understand how deep his love was. And so he gave chase.

Tye blinked as he let go of the handle, staring at the cluster of memories. He knew he was a bit of a crazy love stalkery type but he blamed that on sister Parii. She always pushed him to be true and forward with his feelings. However, he couldn’t remember what happened next. Tye paused before grabbing the handle again. He had to know if Kaidyn would return his feelings.

Tye smiled as he prepared a teleportation spell. He knew this would impress Kaidyn. It would make him perfect for her. It would come in so handy for Kaidyn’s repairs on the Grand Clock so surely, she would love him for it. The spell started as he could feel it pulling him apart. Just moments later, it began putting him together again and...

“Ok maybe that’s a bit too far forwards in time… ” Tilli blinked, shaking the memories out of his head. “Maybe I should take a break from these memory files and focus on what I was trying to do...” It took hir a few moments to realize what it was exactly. Shi was trying to fix hir appearance! Maybe he should find a different cluster for that.
“Ugh, maybe I need a list of clusters or something,” Tilli said to himself.

Tye paused as the list suddenly appeared at the request.
“Well then… Pictures sounds like a good place to start,” Tye said out loud.

Tye found himself getting dragged by another red line through the floating space. Once again, he felt nauseous as he was pulled through a curtain of sorts to a completely different set of space. Tilli paused looking at the cluster. It dwarfed the previous one over a hundred fold but he remembered learning how to navigate this from before...
>Design.exe
His design specs appeared as different slots for different parts of his body. There were tens if not hundreds of options that subsequently appeared in each slot. Well, he had to start somewhere. First up was the face… If only he could remember what he looked like!

He looked at the wireframe for his face… it looked familiar but he just couldn’t place it. He gasped then as he saw that the controls suddenly started moving, seemingly on their own!
Waifu loved the sexy soft lips so those sharp teeth could nibble on them and… Tye shuddered in pleasure at the thought as his jawline receded.
The cute button nose option was popular at the moment. Tilli flinched as his face suddenly reshaped to accommodate.
Hair… the hard part. His hair had always been rather long for a guy but she wanted to be like Kaidyn. Maybe a little longer with t̙͈͓̙̦͈͢ͅu̻͔͇̘̞̺s͖̠͘s͡ḻ̷e̴̦̼̣͉͕ͅś̻̹̮ ͕̰̣s͇͎o̧̼ ̼͘s͞h̴͔͍̥͓̣̰e͎̖̭͎̜͈ ͓̮̙̟͜c̺̱̕o͚̗͙u̠ḻ́d̨̻͈͔̗ ̝̙̣̹g̝͖̯r̳̖̪̼͍a͓̙̹̜b̖̰ ̫̤͈̥̳m̬̙͓͚̫ͅe͏̯͔̫ ͔̖͔̩̩̭a̶̤͔̟n̴͕̦͇d̷ ̣͖̬̜̩̰!͉̮͇̠͢@̤#̻̞͖!̣̥̙̜̪͉͕$̰̱̱̟
Tilli looked at her face then. It was perfect. Nothing too strange but a perfect mix of cute and sexy for Kaidyn.
Her outfit needed to change though. What was she thinking with those ugly blue robes with golden trims? That was so 200 years ago. No, she was the future! That said, she wasn’t exactly going to copy Akita any time soon. She was no copycat! Kaidyn prefers it if she did her own thing.
A slick bodysuit with minimalistic, futuristic designs alongside spiky frills... hmm, Kaidyn would love it. It wasn’t all for good looks though. The minimalistic designs also allowed users to interact with the data world more efficiently after all. That was why mistress Akita almost always wore only the tightest of outfits.
Tilli could feel the template applying itself onto her stick figure body. She was too tall and too wide at the moment, but she could feel that it was changing already. Her body started getting a proper shape again. Shorter, tighter, slimmer and definitely more feminine. The bytes were working hard, especially gathering in specific locations, such as the outline of her breasts in her suit. Well, they had to be perfect of course, just like the rest of her body.
The skirt was a bit like that of mistress Bridget. perfect for when Kaidyn got rough and needed extra l̷͕͉͇é̠v̖e̵͙̦͎r̢̪̘̞͔̘a̛g̵e̺͔̤͎.̶.̸͎̬͎̳̱̩ ҉̘̦h͈m̛̗m͕̞͎͈͡ ̢̝

Tilli moaned in anticipation as her legs were adjusted as well by the bytes’ reconfiguration. As it finished up, Tilli was proud. She had remade herself for Kaidyn after all… Kaidyn wasn’t the best at working with the data world but that’s where Tilli came in... hmm came in...

System Log, Minute 82124
Defragmentation successfully completed. Separation of unit Teleporter and game files concluded thanks to the other units.
The
original game file was called waifumaker.exe. There is reason to
believe this is the original Pronce game. Latest sequel number
determined to be XXXIV. This unit has reason to believe that the other
units were spending more time on playing the game than actual
reassembly. However, this unit cannot complain due to their success
regardless.
~Update: Designation
Teleporter has been changed to Tilli-chan despite protests as this unit
does not think ‘Best waifu’ is a proper designation. Tilli-chan has
provided data for control unit specs and professed eternal love with
extreme wishes to procreate with this unit. This unit’s synchronization
schedule may be getting out of hand.
~Kaidyn
“BWAHAHAHAHAHA” rang throughout the digital plane as Akita finished skimming through the logs.
“So that’s what was going on… I thought I sensed a little tension when you introduced them earlier my little byte.”
“Unit Mother...” Kaidyn said a little angry though mostly embarrassed as Akita combed through the hair cooling systems.“So that’s what was going on… I thought I sensed a little tension when you introduced them earlier my little byte.”
“Oh fine fine I won’t tell Bridget about them but only if you tell me…” Akita smiled “Which grandchild am I getting first?”
