Anyone else got any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

> Only that they are all connected by a central dimension to the real world, the Dream Portal, but only one route can be open at a time. You guess if something dirupted the portal, then the other worlds, and the real world, could be in danger.

> "Good question. I destroyed the world that already existed here... and it's inhabitants. This used to be someone else's dimension. Then I came along and... well."

(This line deleted because i thought we'd passed the point of no return and hadn't.)

(Guys, we're going to eventually hit a fight. She's going to be obstinate until we stop her, i bet.)

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #49 on:** October 12, 2012, 01:43:44 AM »

Most likely, yes.

Cybeast710 · « **Reply #50 on:** October 12, 2012, 01:52:47 AM »

(In that case... why try stalling any longer? It's clearly not working. We might as well hit the starting bell.)

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #51 on:** October 12, 2012, 04:06:34 AM »

I think that's about to happen.

Raikaria · « **Reply #52 on:** October 12, 2012, 11:16:57 AM »

[Not got time to actually update, but I'm popping in to say you *can* still resolve this peacefully, however, it's significantly harder since you angered her by making her think Mugetsu betrayed her, and even before then, convincing Gengetsu would have been hard. When things go past the point of no return I usually post a fight theme.]

Hanzo K. · « **Reply #53 on:** October 12, 2012, 11:26:50 AM »

Well then, how do we go about this then?

Cybeast710 · « **Reply #54 on:** October 13, 2012, 01:52:46 AM »

Well, for starters... *modifies post attempting to kick off fight because he didn't think it could be resolved peacefully*
We could see if there's a way to convince her not to touch the portal. Tough, but might be possible.
We could also call Yuuka's cutting over here... Unless she can't come for some reason.
~~We could try selling her on the natural order of things~~ <---- Not even if Higan froze over would this one work.
~~Try dragging along Cirno and letting Gengetsu use her as a punching bag~~ <------I get the feeling attempting to leave would spark off the battle.
Try seeing if Malus can somehow get the point across <------ Not likely, but worth a try

I don't think this will work. She's already made it clear she hates the very thought of it being there. We'll need to find a way to completely isolate her world from the portal. Otherwise, we're gonna have to fight it out.

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #55 on:** October 13, 2012, 02:16:51 AM »

Um... that's exactly what that command is saying.

SirChaotick · « **Reply #59 on:** October 13, 2012, 04:12:37 PM »

Gah... I'm being paranoid, but won't that imply her to be subordinate to our third opinion?

Sure, she is, but that's not what she'll want to hear. She thinks she's almighty and stuff, and she's clearly unstable.

Not that I can think of anything better though.
