DESMODENA: padget!!! how do we turn off the stupid force field thing?
DESMODENA: theres gotta be a secret off switch or a weak point or SOMETHING
DESMODENA: you said your robot bodies only "evolved" because i subconsciously imagined them or whatever... doesnt that mean we should be able to "unimagine" them too?
Padget3333: UNFORTUNATELY, NO. I DID NOT MEAN TO SUGGEST THAT YOUR IMAGINATIONS GIVE YOU COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THIS REALITY. THAT WOULD BE TOO EASY.
Padget3333: IT'S TRUE THAT THE DREAM FEEDS OFF OF YOUR IMAGINATION IN ORDER TO EVOLVE, BUT THE HARD-CODED SIMULATED PART OF THIS WORLD AFFORDS A STABILITY AND CONSISTENCY THAT NORMAL DREAMS LACK.
Padget3333: THINGS CAN EVOLVE ORGANICALLY, BUT ONCE A RULE OR AN ELEMENT HAS BEEN WITNESSED AND CEMENTED WITHIN EXISTENCE, IT CAN'T BE SIMPLY WISHED AWAY.
Padget3333: WHEN YOU FIRST LEARNED YOU WERE IN AN EXPERIMENT AND IMAGINED OUR PHYSICAL FORMS COMING FOR YOU, ON SOME LEVEL YOU MUST HAVE ANTICIPATED THAT ROBOTIC TRUECORP "STAFF" WOULD HAVE SAFEGUARDS AGAINST THE WEAPONS THAT TEST SUBJECTS ARE GIVEN FREE ACCESS TO.
Padget3333: AS SUCH, THAT NOW-IMMUTABLE FACT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WORK AROUND.
DESMODENA: ugh, dammit. but if all of our weapons are rayguns then how are we supposed to hurt this stupid thing???
DESMODENA: i guess we can keep trying what we were doing before, but its kinda hard to suplex something that's floating in zero gravity
DESMODENA: does it have a secret weakness you're not telling me about?
DESMODENA: if it does i bet it's something stupid that was under our noses this whole time
DESMODENA: is its weakness nametags? mice? should i start throwing candy at it???
DESMODENA: wait, it's a cupcake, sugar would make no sense as a weakness...
Padget3333: YOU'RE BEING SILLY. THERE IS NO SECRET SWITCH OR TRICK TO IT. YOU JUST NEED TO GET CREATIVE AND EXPLOIT THE RULES, WHICH I KNOW YOU'RE GOOD AT.
Padget3333: THE FORCEFIELDS GIVE US PROTECTION AGAINST THE STANDARD RAYGUNS AND THINGS CREATED FROM THEM. WEAPONS IN THE MOST LITERAL SENSE.
Padget3333: IF THAT IS THE RULE, THEN WHAT ACTIONS FALL OUTSIDE OF THOSE PARAMETERS? WHAT CAN YOU WEAPONIZE THAT ISN'T A "WEAPON"?
Padget3333: YOU SAW THIS IN ACTION WITH THE HOORAYGUN. THE GUN ITSELF DIDN'T ACTUALLY SHOOT CAKEDOS, IT JUST CREATED A HOLY PORTAL. THE HOLY BEAM THAT DAMAGED CAKEDOS COUNTED BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT CAME FROM A PORTAL, NOT A "RAYGUN".
Padget3333: I'M SURE YOU CAN FIGURE OUT SIMILAR WORKAROUNDS.
DESMODENA: ...iiiiinteresting
DESMODENA: well shit, i can def get creative
DESMODENA: lets exploit some damn rules already!
