[Well, he manages.]

[With more pellets, but at least portals mean he doesn't NEED to parkour.]

[ascintilla]

[ what a loser ]

[ BADASS LOSER ]

Puma. The next level is the final one.

[ when the hell did she get here!! (she's on his head again) ]

[purrtylittlewires]

That wasn't it? Does a puzzle game REALLY need a midboss?

[ascintilla]

Technically this game could involve many things, including electrified walkways. There is nothing wrong with robots armed with lasers.

[purrtylittlewires]

[SIGH]

Right.

Let's go.

[ascintilla]

[ ONWARDS ...!! And Iota will actually hang around for this level, which takes elements from all of the previous ones and combines them into something entirely new. ]

[ (there are no electrified walkways. lasers, though? there are lots and lots of lasers. it's like 70% puzzles-with-countdowns and 30% using other puzzles to defeat the ACTUAL FINAL BOSS. preferably while not getting shot in the face with ... well. lasers or pellets.) ]

[purrtylittlewires]

[FUCK YOU PUZZLES WITH COUNTDOWNS.]

[Working real hard to not get shot in the face, but grazes happen because he takes RISKY AS FUCK moves.[

[ascintilla]

[ PUZZLES WITH COUNTDOWNS ARE GREAT, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ]

[ It takes effort, quick thinking, and perseverance, but eventually Puma succeeds in beating the level! It's a close call—he only barely avoids a critical game over. ]

[ a sprinkle of VICTORY CONFETTI rains over his head ]

[purrtylittlewires]

[I want more of my skills back]

[I will just plop down and take a minute to breathe. Sure, I'll sit in the confetti pile, why not.]

[ascintilla]

Congratulations, Puma.

[ still on his head, where she has been pretty much this whole time. but, when he sits, she reappears in front of him, standing somewhere near his feet. ]

[purrtylittlewires]

Thanks.

[Yawns.]

...how long have I been in here?

[ascintilla]

It is now 11:45PM on the one hundred and sixty third day since Kyriakos' inception.

[ in other words it's been almost three days ]

[purrtylittlewires]

What?! That long?

[ascintilla]

You did not notice?

[purrtylittlewires]

I was kind of hoping it a trick of my head.

[ascintilla]

Oh …

[ :c ]

Does that mean you do not wish to stay with me? I was going to ask if I could keep you.

[purrtylittlewires]

[SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

NO, YOU CANNOT KEEP ME!

[Man, are males SUPPOSED to be able to get that high pitched?]

[ascintilla]

[ That's a good question, she doesn't think they're supposed to squeak that much ... ]

Does your larynx require tuning?

[purrtylittlewires]

No!

[ascintilla]

You are squeaking, Puma. I did not know that it was possible for a man of your vocal range to reach such a pitch.

[purrtylittlewires]

Well it is! Maybe it's something about my world, it happens a lot!

[ascintilla]

I think I would like to research this phenomena ...

Are you sure that you will not stay?

[purrtylittlewires]

I'm sure!

[ascintilla]

[ awwwwwwwwww ... ]

At least allow me to offer you a reward for your services. Your assistance has been greatly appreciated.

[purrtylittlewires]

[...seriously.]

[Well, what he wants right now is-]

A cat.

[Can he even ask that?]

Or video games where I'm NOT in them.
