==> Foxx: Author's Note.

howdy y'all, foxx here with a quick update.
act 4 is almost complete as of uploading this. just 4 more songs and then the act will be done.
the current goal is to upload what I have up to the first of those missing songs, then I will eventually finish them and upload the rest. (i am not looking forward to the rest of these, the ideas i have in mind seem like they're gonna be difficult)
once we're in act 5, i will be uploading each track in order, since that act seems a lot easier according to the plans i have charted out.

thank you all for the support, and please look forward to more!

Enter (Clockwork Arc)

* As you stepped through the gate, you found yourself in a sweltering land. A large laboratory looms ahead of you.

* You marvel at the sight of such a place of science and FREEthinking.

* As you reach the end of the hall, a large, muscular troll exits from a side room before you.

CT: D --> Ah, you must be the John human I was informed of
CT: D --> You may address me as Equius Zahhak
CT: D --> My mind is unparalleled, it is the STRONGEST there is in the medium
CT: D --> Though, recently
CT: D --> There has been a certain lapse in my judgment
CT: D --> You see, one of my STRONGEST creations
CT: D --> I filled its core with 100% b100 b100d, the finest there is
CT: D --> My own, really
CT: D --> And it would seem this action drove her into an e%tremely wild frenzy
CT: D --> I cannot tell whether or not she is fond of me
CT: D --> Which is the preferable outcome
CT: D --> Or if she wishes for my decimation
CT: D --> Which is not
CT: D --> If you see her, I am giving you full permission to destroy her
CT: D --> That is my request, neigh, my order to you

CT: D --> Do you hear that thumping, by the way?

Equius

* A troll robot breaks through the wall, eyes on Equius.

CT: D --> Oh
CT: D --> Oh my
CT: D --> John could you get me a towel, I appear to be
CT: D --> Perspiring

ribbiting g00d time

* Aradiabot strikes!

> John: Check.

* Aradiabot - ATK 40 DEF 255
* Her resilient body proves too strong to attack.

metallic rust

* The gears turn on in the distance, marching along to their own rhythm.
* You bet if Dave were here, he'd start FREEstyling over it.

LOHAC

* It's just a theme for a config menu, it doesn't have to be this fire.

1025

* These aren't your garden-variety underlings!

STRONG strife

AA: 0h excellent
AA: y0u have arrived

AA: well i supp0se as l0ng as y0u are here and equius is n0t ar0und
AA: w0uld y0u mind d0ing me a fav0r and aid me in this puzzle

Chillax

* You are currently blasting away into the air with a jetpack to escape Aradiabot, who has tricked you into a false sense of security with that puzzle to distract you before she attempts to attack.

* This is stupid.

I Can’t Freaking Chillax, These Horn Piles Are Uncomfortable And Everything’s So Expensive!

* You tell Rufioh to be honest about how he feels.

Rufioh: 1... heh... what're you talk1n' about? you're say1n some crazy sh*t there man...
Horuss: 8=D < Precisely! If my darling Rufioh had something he wanted to say to me, he would surely, neigh, positively say it straight to me! Quit this f*ddlest*cklery!
Horuss: 8=D < Wh**ps, forgive my profanity, hun!
Rufioh: huh? oh... yeah... 1ts cool...

Quadrupower

* Horuss is too preoccupied by being blinded from his tears to fight.
* Rufioh awkwardly pats his back and looks at you.

Rufioh: uh... can't bel1eve 1'm say1n' th1s but thanks for uh... help1ng me break up w1th h1m, k1d...

* Rufioh is sparing you.

Admission

* As you enter the room, you notice a couple buckets of paint, yellow and white.
* And then you notice Aradiabot in the middle.

AA: 0h hell0 j0hn
AA: pay n0 mind t0 me
AA: i am simply as y0u w0uld say
AA: chillaxing
AA: with my pr0spitian friends
AA: w0uld y0u care t0 j0in us

* You feel like this is yet another trick.

pester

* Your suspicions were correct, as Aradiabot splashes water around the area, wiping away the white and gold paint, revealing her friends from Prospit to actually be Dersites.
* She sics them on you.

tr0ll

* You enter a part of the land filled with cobwebs. Nearby, you can hear what sounds to be laughter.

??: Are you aware of what people have said a8out you?
??: A human wearing nothing more than some 8oring old tee with a green ghost design on it.
??: I heard them call you weak.
??: I heard them say that they thought you were pathetic.
??: I heard them say they'd like to rip you to shreds!!!!!!!!
??: Do you want to know what IIIIIIII think?

* A troll with long hair and wearing glasses steps out from the darkness. She has a set of dice in her hand.

AG: I think that you just need a 8it of a push in the right direction!
AG: Come on, John. Let's have some fun! Yeah?
AG: Just be careful........
AG: I have ALLLLLLLL the luck!

Roll The Dice!!!!!!!!

* Legend tells of a figure who will only appear when certain conditions are met.
* On April 10th, at 8:09 pm, they will ride to LOHAC on the back of an alabaster stallion.
* Some call them... The Huss.

BOOYEAH!!!

* You find yourself in a room and oh god dammit.

AA: hell0 j0hn

* You ask what all of the decorations are for.

AA: y0u kn0w
AA: i feel like i was wr0ng ab0ut y0u
AA: up0n cl0ser inspecti0n y0u appear t0 be quite the adequate specimen

* . . . Is this a date?

AA: it is n0t
AA: we are simply grabbing c0ffee at a l0cal jazz club
AA: sit d0wn
AA: n0w

feelings 0f red

* Once Aradiabot was finished chatting you up, you became distracted like a sucker.
* She used this opportunity to trap you in a death maze pit.

AA: n0w
AA: since i kn0w y0ur pers0nal attributes
AA: let us test your physical 0nes
AA: run f0r y0ur life j0hn

a pitch-black hatred
