BASE RULES:
BABA IS YOU
TEXT IS EDIT
SPEECH IS TRANSLATE
Bababa: Ba baba!
(Example: Hi there!)
//Rules and manipulations thereof will be in all caps, and everything else will consist of ba, baba, or bababa with appropriate punctuation, followed by a translation in parentheses.
"OnE lAsT CRYSTAL"
"AND YOUR DEBT IS REPAID"
"LOOK TO THE GREEN DEVIL'S PLACE OF PUNISHMENT"
"... Ah. I understand this one unfortunately well."
[Baba emerged from the vents and made her way through the darkness to the not-so-secret secret cobalt mines just outside Tracen.]
Replying to @BabaIsYouTwo
[Dropping from above into the Academy's deepest basement, Baba opened the furnace door found an altar with a crystal above it, just like the two before.]
"Will this ruin the heating system...?"
[Pause.]
"Well, it's not my problem!"
FIRE CRYSTAL IS SHATTER
[The fragments spread.]
[Baba descended through the mine tunnels. Downward, and downward, and- was this really structurally sound?]
MINE IS STABLE
[The new rule brought Baba peace of mind, at least. She continued the descent until the tunnels up into one large cavern. And in the middle of it...]
"Okay... took longer than I thought with all the indoor lights going out. But it seems the Fire Crystal is at the core the Academy's heating system."
[Baba carefully traversed the air ducts, making her way in to the center of it all.]
Replying to @BabaIsYouTwo
New Rules:
SOLDIER IS BOOM
WATER CRYSTAL IS SHATTER
[An explosion overtook the man, launching his body into the doorway. And Baba watched once more as a Crystal shattered into fragments.]
...
[Her tablet pinged with a message. 'Find the Fire Crystal at the source of heat.]
"... Ba baba. Baba ba bababa baba ba baba baba Bababa, ba bababa ba bababa ba bababa baba."
("... Of course. With no natural body of water near Tracen, the crystal is underneath the swimming pool.")
BABA IS PHANTOM
[She descended through the water like it was open air.]
Replying to @BabaIsYouTwo
"ONE DOWN.
THREE TO GO.
YOUR DEBT IS REPAID UPON. MY RETURN."
[Baba's gaze swept over the scattered remains of the Wind Crystal. Then, she turned away and followed the voice's directions once more.]
"Ba Baba Bababa... bababa, bababa."
"The Water Crystal... underwater, somewhere."
"You know, not even going to ask. Who knows what the Director's funds end up going to?"
[Baba entered the tower, and ascended to the top. Another crystal, this one blue, awaited there. Standing in front was a man in armor.]
"Is the Director's PMC still active...? Doesn't matter."
*Meanwhile.*
"THE GODDESSES. ABSENT
THE TIME TO ACT. IS NOw.
REP@Y. YOUR. DEbT to mEee."
...
(The voice that called me out of that void I floated endlessly through after that last puzzle...)
("... Yes. I shall.")
[Baba started to follow the directions the voice gave.]
[The walk through the building was quiet. Baba could see monsters in the shadows, but they didn't attack her (so much for random encounters). Baba ascended to the top of the shrine... and stood before a vine-covered altar atop which rested a crystal.]
...
WIND CRYSTAL IS SHATTER
