Dropset: Oh, de....yuh ripples be flexin max, suh...

Darkwitt. Enough. pivot 90 degrees west, 60 paces forward.

VIDEO TAG: The Hyena drools and pivots as if he were a windup soldier. strutting into an alleyway out of public view. He stands in front of a pattern wall as the fractal holds his attention. forcing him to drool and puff up his chest.

Darkwitt: I cannot return anytime soon, Mr. Matherson. But what I need is a hand that can enter this space at my convenience without need of direct projection. Luckily I have a protocol for such things. Relax. Empty your mind. Stare at the pattern.

Dropset: Mi deh pon...di irie vibes.....

Kai Tyde is overviewing the drone Tally has gotten close between Borf Mayer and Kunihiko Akechi. The door opens to a large Hyena in a business suit sporting a black mohawk. Kai Tyde jumps out of his seat startled.

Kai Tyde: M-Mr. Darkwitt?!

Proxy: Not exactly.  Mr. Darkwitt is unable to return to Cognizant in his current state. So I will be a representation of his voice in that time. You are in need of briefing.

Kai Tyde: o-Of course sir! [b]I [/b][i][b]am committed to the betterment and evolution of Cognizant. I am devoted to the order that was instilled into me." [/b][/i]

Proxy: Good boy. I have attained a higher understanding of the nature of my mark. which has allowed me to reach out to you. It's... still something I am struggling to comprehend. But this experiment remains essential to my wishes.

Kai Tyde: Who'd you pick? He's familiar but I can't put my finger on...

Proxy: *sighs* 'wa gwann?'

Kai Tyde: DROPSET?! You picked Dropset?

Proxy: I needed someone that could maintain my presence without issue of overburdening his mental faculties.

Kai Tyde: y-yeah, but Dropset?

Proxy: he's barely using his brain at the best of times.

Kai Tyde: Point. So like. what's this mean? you back full time? am I not in charge anymore?

Proxy: I promised you Cognizant, and you still have it. But there are forces at play seeking to usurp it. seeking to disrupt it. You've been doing a good job.  Reward.

VIDEO TAG: Kai Tyde goes cross eyed as his head tilts to the side, his glasses slip from his muzzle a bit as his legs cross.

Kai Tyde: NghghhhhaahhH~ Oh! Oh FUCK that was good!

Proxy: you have experienced a level 3 reward feedback. you deserve it. and more will come.

Kai Tyde: Emphasis on COME, goddamn. Alright. How can I go next? What can I do for you, Mr. Darkwitt?

Proxy: I have been dealing with different dimensions and planes. one in particular I will be encountering soon revolves around mythological curses and rituals.  Are you familiar with an obscure entity known as Tenuat?

Kai Tyde: Look how I'm dressed sir.

Proxy: In the simulation files is an obelisk no doubt Jasper integrated into the simulation years ago. Cognizant has a place with the Placid Dunes that would be ideal for it. You've done quite a bit with technology and other forms of hypnosis. it's time to dabble in the Magic side.

Kai Tyde: Yes sir.......permission to request, sir?

Proxy: Granted, you've more than earned it.

Kai Tyde: ....bounce them man-o-mammaries, sir?

Proxy: Very well. He is but a puppet after all.

Video Tag: Holoproxy_00 slides his hands behind his head and starts bouncing his pecs hypnotically as the hyena  was known to do.

Kai Tyde: Sweet.

I am running on only an hour of sleep the last two days but I didn't want to miss this post.

Here we are. the last day. It's down to the wire and it is CLOSE. Since I finished writing this story, there's only 5 votes between the winner and the runner up!

But, we did it. I think this was even bigger than the first hypnovember this time around. it was thrilling, it was stressful. it was worth it.

I want to thank everyone who participated, the artists, the writers, the admins, especially animators and composers. I'm deeply, truly humbled that you trust me with your talents. I will list them in more detail when I get a conclusion picture done.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. and I really hope I have the energy and wherewithal to do this again next year.
