Summary:
Words because things.
Or. Well.
To be honest I waited until in post, 'cause I can't post while being an incorporeal being in someone's head.
But hey.
It went successfully, some stuff happened but I mostly didn't pay attention.
That's fourteen companions, technically, at this point.
That I didn't reject.
In hindsight, I'm thankful for the limit on the active ones when I get around to that, because that would lead to a complex shape not easily contained within a chart
Probably won't have Elodie do anything.
Shes too cheerful.
I'd feel bad.
And slightly put off.

Done

Kills: 1
I didn't get anything higher than that but I did learn what it was like to jump off a building very fun experience.

Ib: The Ibbening

What follows is a legitimate transcription.
...
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: HEY YO YOU PAINTING BLONDE. DON'T WORRY, YOU WON'T HAVE TO KILL ANYONE, EVERYONE CAN LEAVE.
[Mary]: Okay, I believe you.
<TIME SKIP>
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: HELLO HUMANS, I AM A PAINTING AND I WILL ASSIST YOU
[Ib]: Okay I believe you I offer my rose in tribute.
[Garry]: Wait you are a painting don't do that Ib why should I trust you.
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: ONCE UPON A TIME THIS ART GALLERY WAS BENEVOLENT, UNTIL A MAN DRESSED AS A PAINTING KILLED A CHILD WHICH CAUSE ALL PAINTINGS TO BE POSSESSED BY EVIL VENGEFUL SPIRITS WHICH TOOK OVER THE REST OF THE GALLERY.
GUERTANA THEN PAINTED ME TO GUIDE OUT WAYWARD HUMANS FROM THE EVIL GALLERY.
THIS IS WHY THEY CANNOT OPEN DOORS.
SADLY, GUERTANA NEVER INVENTED A DOOR WHICH OPENS WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF ELECTRICITY
[Garry]: Okay I believe you.
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: OK NOW WE MUST LEAVE THE GALLERY.
<TIME PASSES?>
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: OKAY ONLY HUMANS CAN LEAVE ALL OF YOU LEAVE MAKE SURE TO REMEMBER EACH OTHER
[Garry]: OK
[Ib]: OK
[Mary]: But wait I am painting
<Garry GASPS>
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: Do not worry I am not painting
[Mary]: Oh
[Garry]: I do not believe you.
<THEY LEAVE GALLERY>
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: HAHA JK I AM EVIL NOW I CAN LEAVE THE GALLERY
<LEAVES GALLERY>
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: I AM EVIL AND NOW I WILL UNLEASH MY EVIL UPON THIS WORLD
[Garry]: Who?
[Ib]: Who?
[Mary]: Snow?
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: I WILL NOW EAT ALL OF YOU JK LEMME TELL YOU A COOL STORY
<COOL STORY TOLD>
[Garry]: Oh wait actually I know all of you it turns out we were all looking at this art gallery and then we ended up somehow within a evil dark twisted art gallery in which we were attacked by paintings and Mary was actually a painting this makes sense, but that leaves a question why did we forget this, how can our memories be real, maybe we are the paintings. Maybe the paintings are paintings. Maybe everything is actually just a fictional entity within some fictive entity like a video game.
[PROFESSIONAL FOXGIRL]: DANK.

=====

Even if I have to try over and over.

Even if I can never succeed.

Even if I can never reach that ending.

I won't give up.

I won't.
I'm sorry.
...
Now I'm acting uncharacteristically selfish.
You really were all a bad influence.
But I can't let go of this.
Not now.
How embarrassing.
I'm sorry for everyone who got invested, cared, or provided advice. All that time wasted.
But I can't really change my nature.
...
I might be weaker than I act.
I might be nothing.
I might only have value due to those around me.
Nothing more than the people around me,
Truth be told all my strength, all my power I accumulated.
It means nothing without the people beside me.
So I won't give up, I'm sure it'll be annoying.
But I guess this is the only thing I can say.
.... 
I will preface this with I have no idea what I'm doing.
But you know, it's a chance to do impossible things, and maybe makes the world a better or worse place. 
...
Cya 'round.
======
Well this jump should be a bit interesting, I've always liked art and this has some neat horror vibes. I'm sure nothing can go wrong.
I bought all the main characters so I can guarantee a happy ending. I mean, mostly.

A Question.

I feel like I should resolve the...
I mean.
I'm not adverse to anyone's amorous feelings.
But I feel like I should try and resolve it.
But I mean, I have no idea how to approach it. Or if I even should.
Maybe I should just leave it to them.

So I've decided.

I guess I should introduce myself.
And my companions.
My name is Amelia, I have no crippling addiction to bad decisions.
I'll beat everyone, don't worry about it.
I've judged you all to make bad decisions, don't worry that's understandable.
Really, some of you might be ahead for now. But I'll fix it.
This is my Cubchoo.
Or bear.
Whatever he is now.
He is very friendly, cuddly, and prone to hugs.
He's not really much of an aggressor, but don't really push that.
Then we have I guess.
Gen, and Gawain who have respectable names. Sorry. Gennadius. Gen-nerd-ius.
The Tortoise of the Land who chose, I guess a name that could work considering where we were...?
And then Goblin and Karp of Magi who I literally regret allowing any freedom on that front.
Then She-of-Fair-Eyes and Makoto. Not from BlazBlue.
Basically her though.
...
And then we're taking along Ben.
...
Nobody tell him I named him Ben on accident because he was going by his sword's name, Ten Thousand Winter Nights. Yes. I should have maybe kept my mouth shut.
But...
I mean you cannot blame me.
Well. I guess I'll let them introduce themselves.
[Gawain]: It's wonderful to meet you all, I have to apologize for my cohort's lack of grace and manners befitting a proper individual. Especially that gecko.
[Gen]: I'll crush you.
[Gawain]: Sorry, see he demonstrates his lack of civility quite admirably.
[Gen]: You're just a yappy bug, get outta the way.
[Gawain]: It's admirable how his mind can follow through on everything in such a straightforward manner. I bid you adieu.
[Gen]: I, yeah. I guess I'm Gennadius, but that's kind of a mouthful, just call me Gen. I guess I like swords, Gawain is a bit passive aggressive towards me for whatever reason, but he's alright.
Uh...
I'll um.
Protect the fox. I guess?
[Gawain]: Truly a strong declaration of intent, such solidity in his voice, such determ-
[Karp]: KARP OF MAGI IS.
KARP WILL DEFEAT THESE PUNY NERDLINGS.
[Goblin]: I gob-ble food down. Goblin.
[Tortoise]: I am a fairly ordinary man, my name is Tortoise of the Land. I cook and help out with the various things that need to be done. To be honest neither the Karp of Gob can be trusted with any basic task.
[Fair-Eyes]: I am the true heroine of the story, that dumb fox is just my rival.
[Amelia]: I don't understand how I could see my cute adorable precious little sister as a rival.
[Fair-Eyes]: Anyways, I would like to inform you that you should merely consider her a perspective character, I suppose. I don't really care what you guys think.
[Makoto]: Lemme warn ya, I don't know how to pull my punches!
[Amelia]: Okay everyone be quiet and go, except Ben.
Ben, go on, say hello or something.
[Ben]: Hello.
[Amelia]: Do you want to say anything else?
[Ben]: Hello.
[Amelia]: Okay, well you can go now. Make sure to take care.

also yes.

Before I go and move onto my next jump...
I should uh.
Yes.
Love triangle resolution.
...
Well.
I've never been much for crazy, so they're out.
Also I can't really stand certain types of people.
Really, that leaves two possibilities.
I'm not actually sure if Gawain is genuinely flirting, or acting like a generally chivalrous knight, or whatever.
But its highly probable, I just don't have the time to dedicate to thinking it out.
Gen... Gen seems like a kind of lovesick puppy...?
...
I 'unno. He just seems infatuated.
Or pent up.
Probably pent up.
I mean, I don't want to say it.
But I will say it.
And that is as someone directly related to a god of hearth and home and that sort of stuff, I have a few benefits on understanding those things, really.
And I'm pretty sure when someone, y'know.
...
Secedes from society for an indeterminate period to enjoy themselves.
...
And while that is disturbing, really disturbing to know this, I can't really just erase my own memories, or I would.
There is however a noticeable downwards trend over time, I'm not sure if its related to them noticing anything on my part because I feel as if I bluffed fairly well and the one person in the know was horrified on learning. I feel like it may have to do with spiritual enlightenment redirecting those energies...?
But.
Gen.
Like I don't have a 100% accuracy on this thing (FOR. THE. BETTER. I WISH IT WAS ZERO.).
But I'm not sure if he did anything.
So that's like one hundred sixty years of pent up... uh. That can't be healthy.
So I've concluded that he was neutered at some point, or another.
...
I mean, if I want kids, that serves a problem.
And researching into medical procedures to unsterilize someone seems a bit contrived.
So. I mean.
I'll avoid lampooning anyone's flaws, and putting them out in public and leave it at.
"I probably want a long term relationship that hopefully works out and potentially leads to children."
Gawain is kind of just a chore to be around sometimes.
Gen is probably a eunuch.
Everyone else is too crazy or too shallow for my tastes.
So I'm going to just calmly, and reasonably pass on this and try to let Gawain down violently.
And Gen gently.

oh yeah

We took:
Its a Keybla...
And
Celestial Reality TV.
...
Also everything got more confusing.
I got the wrong Abyssal.
Well.
O-kay.
Anyways, that was an amazing over a hundred years.
I can't believe what happened.
Really, it was great.
And I'm not just going to um. Drop a address post-chain where you can order the entire experience or anything.
I made no shady backroom deals to promote a television show I never knew I was on.
...
Nope.
None at all.
Really, so I can only say one plot twist.
Which you guys really won't believe.
Karp of Magi, a bear, and Gen combined to defeat someone.
They really became the greatest heroes.
It was amazing.
Like I'm amazed we had the budget for that.

EVERYTHING GETS WORSE... OR BETTER.

So.
Moving is painful. Hard. Difficult to focus.
But possible.
Granted, I'm not defenseless. But I have to rely on my natural ability to manipulate Essence.
Most of which I've expended.
But...
I've gotten sleep. Without nightmares.
Still having to deal with a mortal who is a bit obsessed with killing me, and a bunch of other stuff.
But I guess we made progress.
The love triangle... is mostly. Mostly. Resolved. How can this be okay.
I'm also still being smarted off to by a child.
Also a complex love shape is forming.
EDIT

Thanks paint.
Notes:
Gen thinks hes subtle
Gawain is being chivalrously obvious.
I'm not sure as to She-of-Fair-Eyes crushing on Gawain, or Gen, but I think its obvious.
Mr. Brannigan Solar Edition is only acting out of lust in regards to me.
This is pain.
If I have feelings. I cannot reveal them.
Or this house of cards topples.

Okay.

So, have you ever just barely managed to start convincing someone NOT to kill you, and then right when you convince them, you nearly get killed by a bunch of explosions?
To be honest I wish he took out the pants, but no.
Of course not.
Thankfully, in a cunning display of brilliance. I am now reliant on my companions to protect me.
Yes.
It turns out I tried to push someone who was trying to kill me, out of an explosion, because hey. That's what you should do.
"Infamously monstrous killer who kills people through dreams and you find him and have a chance to turn things around, by letting your other foe injure him."
Yes.
Body block.
So that way when help comes, they have to retrieve you're GRAVELY INJURED BODY.
Instead of HELP DEAL WITH YOUR FOES AND POTENTIALLY HAVE A CHANCE, WHATEVER.

Okay.

One month in and everything is already starting to go downhill.
I feel like a very unqualified baby sitter.
Oh well. At least my sleep is haunted.
