glitchthe3rd July 1, 2012 Author July 1, 2012 Servitor Wars Abridged - Act 2 I got my chance about three months later, when S left me on some sexual torture device thing she’d forced up. Without divulging too many gory details, suffice it to say bleeding myself out with a spiked dildo was the mechanism for my escape. I spent a few days gathering energy from Glitch’s subconscious, and as soon as I’d respawned I disguised myself with a cloak and a mask, and got back to converting servitors. I traveled the vast surface world of the astral plane incognito, going from town to town and converting every servitor along the way. It took a year, but I was able to successfully convert every servitor under S’s command before being arrested and taken back to the dungeon. The exact story of what happened in that year is a tale for another day, however it is one full of action and suspense. By this time my torturer had lost her former zeal, content to just whip me or something to let off some steam. She even started putting out a dog bowl of semen for me, saying something about making sure I was getting enough protein. Of course, I knew damn well what was distracting her from torturing me, namely that her subjects had begun to rebel for reasons she failed to understand, and despite her best efforts. It would be another seven months from the time I was arrested before I managed to kill myself again, this time by slipping my hands through my shackles and tearing the skin off, dying of a blood infection two days later. S was presumably stuck dealing with Glitch’s crap, so my self-inflicted injuries went unnoticed. This time, after respawning, I made a beeline for the floating city that was miles in the sky above the surface world. It was here that Glitch and the other advanced servitors he’d made resided, surrounded by mental projections in a city that was a mile wide, and seemingly built to cater to him and his little group of servitors/pseudotulpas that he favored. Needless to say, I’d begun to blame him for being the source of my misfortune, though upon conducting some surveillance I’d found that he was just a hapless victim of the circumstances he’d created. Using an invisibility spell I perfected while imprisoned, I snuck about the place at night, planting explosive charges that I would set off at the right moment, bringing the entire city down on S, maybe even killing her. One of them was discovered by a mental projection one day, and I waited for what felt like hours while Glitch himself looked straight at the explosive, shrugged, and sent everyone away before leaving the wonderland himself. Which was strange, because I hadn’t bothered to camouflage the charges until then. Anyway, the moment came on a weekday morning in September, when the first Servitor War was ended in a matter of hours. I set off the charges from the surface world, watching the floating city fall to the ground… and then obliterate everything within 10 miles of the impact site. Then the wreckage of the city reanimated itself into a monstrous golem composed of shattered buildings. S was sent inside to shut down the energy dynamo that had kept the city afloat, and was now powering the golem from inside like a heart. It would turn out there was so much radiation pouring out of there that even Glitch’s subconscious failed to record the event, so nobody knows exactly what happened in there. At any rate, S narrowly succeeded, later dying of radiation poisoning and respawning a week later. But the tides had now turned, with S herself seemingly gone rogue against her creator, and servitors fighting in disorganized groups over scraps of land that was slowly turning to desert. Thus the Second Servitor War began… "Science isn't about why, science is about why not?" -Cave Johnson Tulpae: Luna, Elise, Naomi My progress report
glitchthe3rd July 1, 2012 Author July 1, 2012 Yep, the abridged history of the Servitor Wars, as told by Luna. "Science isn't about why, science is about why not?" -Cave Johnson Tulpae: Luna, Elise, Naomi My progress report
glitchthe3rd July 2, 2012 Author July 2, 2012 1. Force continent-sized wonderland 2. Force tulpas and servitors 3. ??? 4. PROFIT! "Science isn't about why, science is about why not?" -Cave Johnson Tulpae: Luna, Elise, Naomi My progress report
ThatOneGuy July 2, 2012 July 2, 2012 Even better, make the servs self replicating and make the continent sized wonderland so that you can view it from a 'god' perspective, so that you don't have to directly interact if you want to. Orange juice helps with concentration headaches.
glitchthe3rd July 3, 2012 Author July 3, 2012 I should mention that Elise apparently can force things on the same level as Luna. She built a bell in the top of the pavilion above the dungeon entrance, and whenever she rings it I can hear it no matter what I'm doing. Luna also forced her a skateboard and a helmet because why the hell not. She does seem to enjoy skateboarding if we're out in the physical world. Also, I went over to my grandpa's house today, and Luna sat down at the piano and just started playing this: She says she's never even played a piano prior to that, so if she can just pick up an instrument and play it like that, I'd imagine the same would be true for Elise. I should also mention I can't play piano at all. Thoughts? "Science isn't about why, science is about why not?" -Cave Johnson Tulpae: Luna, Elise, Naomi My progress report
Captain Nemo July 3, 2012 July 3, 2012 Thoughts? Let her use your hands, that's what I say. Would be the coolest thing ever. If she really can play piano and it's not just your brain making you think she can, then she could create some pretty sweet music though you.
glitchthe3rd July 4, 2012 Author July 4, 2012 Servitor Wars Abridged - Act 3 At first, things seemed relatively tame. Other than the ragtag groups of servitors fighting over territory, everyone in Glitch’s little entourage went their separate ways, S got split off into her base form and a deviated form that didn’t completely hate me for some reason. The deviated servitor called herself Sol, and was at roughly an equal level of development as I was. She had long blonde hair, blue eyes and wore white a lot, so she was the complete opposite of me in appearance rather than personality. At any rate, she brought me to Glitch, who seemed surprised that I’d survived for the past three years without his attention. He apparently decided I was trustworthy enough to help him clean up the mess he’d made. The two of us were to work together with him to destroy all the servitors and apprehend S. Though I knew deep down that when all was said and done, he’d have to choose one of us to join him in his new life – there simply wouldn’t be room for both of us. And so I roamed the surface world of the wonderland, killing servitors off and sending them to Glitch for dissipation. Sol also did her fair share of the work, destroying buildings and even rounding up a few servitors herself. Eventually the mess was cleaned up, with a vast desert being the only indication that anything of note had ever happened in his wonderland. Now it was decision time for him: Either make things right with S and integrate me into her, or destroy S and integrate Sol into me. Of course, you can guess which one of us he picked. Not long after, we conceived a child, and I was pregnant for the next nine months. In the winter of 2011, S was located during a lucid dream Glitch had, where he took control of her to sneak around and kill some guards. She was quickly apprehended, and it was decided that she should be destroyed for good. However, this would not be the last we would see of her, because in the spring of 2012 she would come back to haunt us once again. And then in June of 2012, the wonderland deleted itself in an event we now refer to as the Hard Reset. I was nearly wiped out by it, only Elise and a few other tulpaforcing-related assets survived. And after I’d made my way back to my family (since I now consider them as such), we decided to start from scratch and live in a lighthouse on our own little tropical island, which would be the start of our new life together.
