So, "morning" in the plot is 6 PM subeta time (eastern) and I guess THEN we'll see if anything else is happening. Not too much longer now . . .

What if we didn't free Marena, but angered the beast of mountains? Yes, Shiwa placed a seal on her, but it only prevent her from leaving. The thing kept her from totally razed the island is the beast...

@flamboyantCuttlefish experiment #404 is there and says, "you can't find merana!". so you know, i thought she was gone.

@Laurey i have access to almost everything else, so that's prolly it.

@Laurey Thank you, I was a little confused there for a bit

If you got to the tomb page with the blue text about running down the mountain, you're in the right place. We're all waiting for the next bit to be released.

@pocari If you don't have the map completed, I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't able to access her. I'm still curious though; what /does/ happen when you try to click on her temple?
0

Rainey

I went to the temple, clicked and it was all dead in the next page. I got another page after clicking and it was just messages about a volcano and hurry down he mountain

Laurey

@pocari
Ah, that could be it. I guess you get access to the island for the plot, but not for everything else that isn't required for the plot.

Neverwhere

I'm calling it. We've released Godzilla. He's going to rise out of the sea, do a little jig, make the Omen Islands sink into the abyss, then make a beeline to Centropolis and destroy it.



There he is! I see him doing a fresh jig!



And there he is making his way to Centropolis! OH THE HUMANITY!

@flamboyantCuttlefish maybe because i don't have the completed oi map, she isn't there???

@pocari You're gonna have to be a lot more specific. You click on her temple, and then what happens? It takes you to a blank page? It takes you to a page that says you can't find Merana? What?

@Keliora I personally kinda doubt that, but daaaang that would be so cool!

Laurey

@Keliora
That would be interesting, although there is already the Hydrus skin from the Morostide zapper (I'm wearing it now).
1

Keliora

I think our HA skins are going to slowly be turning Hydrus (like infected human Hydrus) - so something cool that will be happening at some point, but that you may or may not want to stay up for and will still be happening 10 hours from now. o:

I nearly lost it at shrines to Butterface. Good job Blake.

Also, Elwood, thanks for showing you care. /sarcasm

All I can figure is, Shinwa is wrong because she's just as conceited as Maleria, I mean she literally justified destroying her own world to "defeat" Maleria... And so far chalk two children having their lives destroyed via Shinwa's inaction, (MonoRi and Amy) And this we have Merana who sucks more though in this case because you know, human sacrifice. Although I am quite sure she's been attempting to make people her Hydrus slaves or something, like how Maeria could turn her followers into dark matter people.
It sort of sucks that Subeta's pantheon is filled with basically worthless gods and goddesses because what's the point of Shinwa anyhow? She's powerless if she leaves her stinkin temple.
At any rate, the Islanders need to know the truth about that their king did and be given a choice about keeping either one of the brothers on.

xD It's the same definition of "just a few more minutes" that everyone uses when the alarm goes off in the morning, it's still dark and it's cold outside the blanket fort and nobody is waiting with breakfast and coffee. "just a few more minutes" would be around two hours or one if breakfast is included.

I shall go to sleep if we're not going to miss anything. ^^

Ryuu

*thinking positive*
So, now that we've absorbed the crystal, we can all make dinos whenever we want, right?
If that's the case, I might have preferred it(crystal) being added to the Blue Building or something instead, since then the 'special pets' would be available in one place. And, a place that you have to work(?) to get in to.

Oh, and don't forget that Shinwa's only good because she told us she is. I haven't seen her do anything good and a lot of the stories sure don't show her that way... :p


But, why am I thinking about any of that right now? We apparently have days of running out of the jungle to deal with! Hope downhill will be faster, since we didn't all hop in the Van again. Elwood! Your ride's gonna get destroyed!
(Or he left the rest of us behind. haha.)

From the Merana Subetapedia Article:

"Merana, furious at her banishment and at the Goddess' words, attacked Shinwa with her strongest magic. Shinwa deflected it back onto her, and in that instant Merana was changed into her current serpentine form, her own magic used against her. Before leaving, Shinwa placed a magical seal on the islands to prevent Merana from straying far from the island coasts."

Uh... now I am even more worried...

Nooo! it's way to late here in Europe for this stuff.
I wanna sleep, and I want to know what will happen. Oh the struggle.
Please hurry up XD
12

Foolkillersfancy

So when you refresh you get more dialog... and more and more...

You’re making good time on your journey down the mountain. You should arrive in the village by morning.

You’re worried about what is happening in the village, but stay focused on your task: charting a safe path down the steep mountainside as quickly as possible is your main goal.

You try to put worries about the village out of your mind - there are too many hidden stumps, holes, and fronds of toxic plants in the jungle to lose your focus.
