________________________________________
To boost our counting speed we accidentally made an RP. This was not planned and has devolved into utter chaos.
Speaking of which, let's get into said chaos. It all started on November 2nd at 10:11am EST...

More info:
-If you see parentheses in italics than it's me clearing things up
-HHCWC stands for "How High Can We Count?"
-Non of the following is planned in anyway and there is/was no rules
-This guide is not complete and is actively being updated at the end of every "chapter" of the RP

Main Characters: MadCat, AJ (AJ is Rouxls Kaard for most of the RP), gameman (AntCed in older posts), BL0XTON (real name BL0X), Pyre, and ✧︎『 乇ㄒ卂 』✧ (referred to as ETA)

Let the role-play begin!

BL0XTON: *Dodges the gernade like sans*

gameman: *blinks at them and sighs heavily* does anyone want any treats I am off to go get more pop it corn.

MadCat: I DO NOT CONSENT

BL0XTON: *Starts a battle*

MadCat: *MadCat used Mad Buster

Bl0XTON: OW KID! DID YOU REALLY JUST HIT ME WITH THAT [$2.99] PIECE OF [#&@^]?

MadCat: *MadCat used Madder Buster

BL0XTON: *BL0Xton used [TRANSMIT KROMER] attack*

MadCat: *MadCat used McDonald's Milkshake
*HP was maxed out

BL0XTON: *uses the one attack where words such as "$dealz$" come out my mouth*
ENL4RGE YOURSELF

BL0XTON: NICE [HeartShapedObject] KID. TELL YOU WHAT! I GOT A VERY SPECIL [$dealz$] FOR YOU KID!

MadCat: *MadCat doesn't take the deal
It's not about the kromer, it's about the flavor text

BL0XTON: KID! YOU NEED TO PRETEND LIKE YOUR INTERESTED IN BUSINESS

MadCat: *MadCat does a business bot impression
I WANT TO GO HOME I DONT WANT TO WORK HERE I WANT TO GO HOME PLEA-
*It's quite spot on, actually

AJ: *The smell of Kromer fills the air a big [$dealz$] is about to be made.

MadCat: *MadCat is anticipating the deal...

gameman: *throws popcorn in the air* i am back with pop it corn!

MadCat: *Antced has joined the party!

gameman: how is everyone? *i eat popcorn*

MadCat: *arch0 (note: arch0 was a random counter) makes poor finance choices (+25% spare)
*MadCat does NOT use Mad Buster (+25% spare)

BL0XTON: YOU GOT ANY MORE [Hassle free finances!]?

MadCat: *MadCat DID use Mad Buster

ETA: i am a doctor. (he posted a picture of a bloody corpse of a guy from People Playground)

MadCat: *ETA is admiring a bloody corpse
*It seems to gain a surprising amount of traction...

AJ: *Antced used bloody corpse! It recovered... something -1 HP

MadCat: *MadCat used Bottomless Strawberry Shake on AntCed
*HP maxed out

*ETA advertises supernatural torture
*It's not very effective

MadCat: *MadCat has been narrating for too long
*MadCat became TIRED
*A new narrator must rise...

ETA: *What's this?
...
*ETA kamui'ed into the narrator booth!
*cough cough* is this thing on?

(obnoxious fanfare plays)
*New narrator unlocked: ETA!

MadCat: this is about to get a lot more interesting
*Roleplay action sips milkshake*

AJ: Wait guys, stop fighting! *AJ appears from thin air* I just want to ask a question... What is this thing? I never got a good answer, it's kinda hard to see though, like some sort of shadow.

MadCat: where? I literally don't see it

AJ: Huh, thats odd *AJ used ?????* they instantly disappear...

ETA: *Where could he have gone?
(madcat looks around)
...
*What's this? Oh! It's a map! (MAP has been added to the group inventory)
*Read the map?

(this is ETA's map)

BL0XTON: WHAT KIND OF [Child made] [Cheap!] MAP IS THAT PIECE OF [&$^@]

MadCat: it appears we need to move into the legendary Forest O'regret, hopefully we don't encounter any enemies on the way there...

AJ: *Faintly, a smell of regret fills the air*

MadCat:*AJ has forgotten to count
*AJ has dementia
*Narrator also has dementia
*That's why they are still narrating even though ETA is the new narrator
*Narrator also has dementia\

ETA: *Hey stop narrating that's my job!
*You hear a faint sound of a very mad cat being kicked out the window...

MadCat: oh god, my bones!
i sure hope someone around here knows a healing spell...

AJ: *The adventure begins and the heros set out on the trail to try and reach the Forest O'regret* (With or without the injured cat)

BL0XTON: [Smells like] REGRET THAT I DIDN'T MAKE THAT DEAL WITH MADCAT

MadCat: guys... i think you forgot something...
*rp action bleeds harder than before in a field of shattered glass after falling off second floor*

ETA: *The smell of bloody debt fills the air as you walk into the mist...
*You hear voices, telling you to go back...
*You regret going in here in the first place...

(you guys are dragging madcat rn btw since you wont heal him for some reason so a trail of blood is following you guys... probably a bad idea to leave a trail)

AJ: Everyone ponders, why are there voices speaking to them? The party moves on but the forest continues. Everyone is uneasy.

MadCat: guys, as someone with a rare ability to see behind us due to being dragged through mud by my leg, can I just tell you that theres something, uh, moving in there?

ETA: *The, thing? gets closer and closer until-
*Everyone blacks out...
...
*We wake up inside of some form of old bunker,
*What's this? Is that ETA??? Wait, no. It's a guy
*with an all black cloak, white mask with dark red flames,
*one eyehole (like ETA), and dark blue sandals (also like ETA)
"hello travelers. almost got eaten by the paenitentia eh?"

AJ: Confused and suspicious the party introduces themselves...

MadCat: hi mr creepy guy who stole eta's look on ebay, you got any heals?
rp action coughs (not cause injured, but just a badly faked cough because im pretending like im way more injured than i actually am to make you feel worse for not healing me)

ETA: (if i'm not using * then im acting as this guy)
"no, sadly not. that thing earlier was the paenitentia {translation: regret - latin}. it's been bothering me for far too long"
"i implanted translation chips in you all so you can understand me."

AJ: *Suddenly a flash of light fills the room...?*
I, Rouxls Kaard hath come to aid thoust on this adventure eventh if thou didnt want me to which is pointless in saying because thou all didst, right guyseth?

MadCat: Rouxls, can thou useth thy fabled rules card to finally heal me, this weird ETA lookalike guy's spitting some lore Im super into it but I can't quite hear it because of all the blood noise coming from my bones

AJ: *Rouxls heals MadCat* +25 HP

MadCat: ah much better
Anyways, thanks for the translation chip, but I didn't quite catch your name, Mr...?

ETA :"i... i lost the concept of a name long ago..."
"i am only known to the creatures of this land as umbrarum praenuntiator {translation: harbinger of shadows - latin}."
"i have brought you all here because i heard tell of a LEGEND...
it was a LEGEND of UPDATES.
it was a LEGEND of COUNTING.
it was a LEGEND of LIGHT.
it was a LEGEND of DARK."
*Everyone's vision fades into an unskippable cutscene
"This is the legend of the COUNTING FORUM
For millenia, everyone has been counting,
Bringing updates to the CLONE DRONE.
But if this harmony were to shatter...
a terrible calamity would occur.
The sky will run black with terror
And the land will crack with fear.
Then, her heart pounding...
The DOBOROG EMPLOYEES will draw their final breath.
Only then, shining with hope...
Five HEROES appear at STEAMS' edge.
A ROBO-DRAGON,
A TF2 CHARACTER (This is gameman),
A VERY MAD CAT,
A (MISSING) AKATSUKI MEMBER,
And 1997'S FAVOURITE SALESMAN.
Only they can seal the fountains
And banish the ANGEL'S HEAVEN.
Only then will balance be restored,
And the CLONE DRONE saved from no updates.
Today, the STEAM COMMUNITY FORUM-
The website that gives this land form-
Stands tall at the center of the kingdom.
But recently, another fountain has appeared on the horizon...
And with it, the balance of COUNTING and DOUBLE COUNTING begins to shift..."
*The cutscene fades away as your vision is restored...
"but, before you guys can do that, you must unlock the power of the NARRATOR"

AJ: So liketh, doth thou need any minions?

MadCat: what do you want from us though,
I don't see any very mad cats or anyone else from the prophecy around here, we're just a bunch of doofuses who found a random map

ETA: "well. the paenitentia has been terrorizing the █▒▓░▒▀░▒▀▒ {translator ERROR - 🪫} for so long i ░░█░░▒▀▒░█▒░ {translator ERROR - 🪫} you guys could ▒▒▒█░▒▄░▀░░░█▀░ {translator ERROR - 🪫}"
*The constant beeping of the translator chips becomes annoying,
*It seems they've run out of battery.

MadCat: hey sorry to interrupt, you got a charger anywhere? I think my translator chip's out of juice, it's usb right?

ETA: "yeah just █▒░░▓▒░▄░█ ░▒░▒░ {translator ERROR - 🪫} the ▓░▒█▀░ {translator ERROR - 🪫} i think ░▒▒█░▓▓░░░▀▀░░▒▓▒░░▒▒▒▒ {translator ERROR - 🪫} should ▓▒▓▄░▓░ {translator ERROR - 🪫}"
*You are absolutely clueless as to what he just said other than a few joining words...

BL0XTON: WELL DO YOU NEED SOME [Battery's not included] FOR THAT [Bass & Olsen speakers fifty percent off!]? WELL LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT LUCKY ABOU TME GETTING HERE BECOUSE I GOT SOME FOR YOU! 70 KROMER EACH!

MadCat: yeah sure *takes Bloxton's charger* uh that guy's paying btw *points at cloaked figure whos unable to dispute having to pay due to language barrier*

BLOXTON: DELICIS KROMER

MadCat: *recharges conspiciously airpods-shaped hightech translation chips with Bloxton's usb* ah, much better now, can you say all that again, Mr Cool Hood?

ETA: "basically, just beat up the paenitentia or you won't be able to exit the valley o' regret."
"beware though, because you will regret fighting that thing..."

BL0XTON: NOW PAY ME FOR MY [buy goods online!]

MadCat: uh... will you join our party? Maybe??

ETA: "i... i cant, my soul is sealed in this mask with an eight trigrams outer path seal and the seal specifies i can't leave the valley of regret."

BL0XTON: HOW ABOUT YOU GIVE ME YOUR [HeartShapedObject] FOR FREE!

MadCat: c'mon guys if we can break this guys mask he's gonna join our party and he looks so cool he'll probably carry us to the final boss!
*MadCat used Mad Buster

ETA: "NO WAIT DON'T D--"
*The sound of sturdy porcelain shattering fills the air,
*A blackened wisp escapes the mask, slowly fading away until it is gone.

! NARRATOR MESSAGE INCOMING !: you killed him dummies

BL0XTON: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT MADCAT. [you killed him dummies]! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO TAKE HIS [HeartShapedObject] AND BECOME [BIG SHOT!!!!]

MadCat: ...anyone got a mint?
Also let's be real, in no world was that aura farming potato face going to take your deal, he did his job and gave us the lore, admitted to being useless and died, perfect closure

AJ: So liketh, can I join?

ETA: *Everyone groans with displeasure,
*It doesn't seem like they want Rouxls to join...

AJ: ...

MadCat: i do

MadCat: ....

BL0XTON: HOW ABOUT I WILL ONLY LET YOU [you shall] [pass!] IF YOU PAY 99.99 KROMER

MadCat: pass where?

BL0XTON: INTO THE GROUP OF COURSE

MadCat: who are you offering that? The guy who is dead?

BL0XTON: TO THAT [incomprehensible] [Here is my card] GUY OVER THERE

MadCat: so the corpse? on the floor? with no head because it flew away as an amorphic shape after *we* shattered his mask?
yeah, keep trying, im sure he'll take the deal any second now

BL0XTON: NO YOU [@*$&] THE ROUXLS KAARD GUY!

MadCat: I am pretty sure they are already in our party, right, Rouxls?
also, the mask guy said we gotta kill the weird latin monster to escape the valley, so... where do we find it?

ETA: *Bloxton is [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]]ing himself in the corner.
...
*What's this?

! NARRATOR MESSAGE INCOMING !: "i aint tellin u where it is just take a guess. there are 3 exits around you once u go up the stairs: the dark and spooky doorway into a secluded dark area in the marshes, the happy little portal to unicorn rainbow land, or the bathroom door which leads to a dirty toilet"

BL0XTON: I'M GOING T0 [take five]
*Bloxton walks to the bathroom door

MadCat: I use Mad Buster on the bathroom door for a dramatic entrance (and also to see what's behind it before entering)

ETA: *You peer into the bathroom. There's nothing but a dirty toilet and some rats.

MadCat: can I eat the rats

AJ: *epic fanfare plays* *Rouxls Kaard joins the party* YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU HAVETH ME ON THOU SIDE FOOLISH WORMS!

AJ: We shall goeth through thine happy little portal!

MadCat: no wait Rouxls let me finish eating the rats
*MadCat used The Rats
*HP was ratted out

AJ: WE SHALLT NOT HALT FOR ANY LONGER!

MadCat: yeah yeah I already finished, let us move to the next location!

ETA (non-RP but important): game man was already in the LEGEND before as "A TF2 CHARACTER" so what would they be now?

gameman: walks in with suitcase* i am afraid i am not at liberty to say, and i think you will find the next informent quite... troublesome, but this is where i get off *vanishs away with a blink of an eye*

AJ: Guyseth, who is this "g" of man?

Pyre (non-RP but important): ill be real ive got no idea what this rp is even about anymore im so confused

ETA (non-RP but important): i tried to stabilize things and give them a clear journey but they haven't even gone through the right door yet and i told them which doors to pick like 3 pages ago and no progress other than bloxton [TAKE FIVE]ing and madcat wanting to eat rats.

MadCat: *with rats in his mouth* BUT THEY ARE DELICIOUS
also didn't we pick the door already?

AJ: *Rouxls leaves the party and goes through the door they chose*

MadCat: *MadCat also leaves the party and goes through the door with Rouxls

gameman: RP: my my what… interesting choices *weird soft laughter comes out* so many people, so much time very few options.

MadCat: is that bloody G man??
can you help us defeat that monster the ETA-cosplayer told us about?

gameman: hmmm well what is the problem?

MadCat: well... We can't find it

ETA: (its in the spooky dark door that goes into the murky swamp in the valley sillies)

MadCat: ooh i want to go to the silly valley swamp

MadCat: *still with a bit of rats in mouth* ROUXLSSSSS, LETS GO HERE INSTEAD
*MadCat enters the spooky dark door that goes into the murky swamp

AJ: Fineth. We shall head into thou murketh swamp!

Pyre (he joined the RP as a british guy): Well chaps, who's ready to do some adventuring into the depths of the murkiest swamp outside of england? (because everybody knows britain has the murkiest swamps of them all)

Pyre: also lads I just realized that we've been counting for exactly 11 months (dec 14 was the start of the discussion and its nov 14)

Electro (random counter) :wait a minute I get it, come to the swamp friends

MadCat: LOOK OUT THAT'S THE MONSTER
SOMEONE QUICK START A BATTLE

AJ: *Rouxls points a finger menacingly at the giant goose (the monster)* WE SHALL'T NOT LOOSE TO WATERFOWL *Suddenly a strange song starts playing "Attack of the Killer Goose"*

AJ: AJ Narrrator: To defeat the goose we must hit it in the eyes! It's feathers are made of solid titanium!

gameman: well i guess this is where I get off for your adventure *drops swords (ten) from shortest to longest just as I leave*

MadCat: *MadCat switches discord to light theme
*It's highly effective

AJ: The goose is blinded! +8 spare!

MadCat: *MadCat quotes the bible
God is like a bucket of onions - a vessel of 3 different faces
*Divine light fills the room for a split second

AJ: +8 spare *Rouxls used the glowy teleport thing!*

Pyre: *Pyre tosses up some spare change

AJ: The change glows with the power of 1000 suns +32 spare!

MadCat: MadCat starts moving like never before
*Their moves are flashy!

ETA: *An ancient blade manifests from existence...
*Who will be the one to deal the final blows?

MadCat: ME ME ME ME!!!
*MadCat cuddles the blade with love <3

AJ: The power of true love makes the sword glow an eerie pink... +12 spare!

MadCat: *MadCat puts the ancient blade into their pocket for later when they use it as a key to unlock an ancient temple in Egypt or some other prophecy crap*

AJ: The goose is furious it stumbles around half-blind and shoots a laser out of its giant beak!
the entire party is affected -50 HP

AJ: Rouxls charges at the monster and flashes a grin +8 spare!
The goose fires again! -50 HP Rouxls has been downed.

MadCat: *MadCat used Revivemint for the 32th time this afternoon

AJ: Rouxls is back but doesn't get up; the floor is too comfy

AJ: You can't really hear Rouxls because they're facedown in muddy moss, but they continue to scream.

MadCat: *Show compassion

AJ: *Rouxls screams louder

AJ: Rouxls finally decides to get up but suddenly the goose launches itself into the air!

MadCat: *The goose flies too close to the sun...

AJ: *The goose is fried midair and starts crashing down to Earth in a fiery final attack!

MadCat: *MadCat defended

AJ: *Rouxls stares in awe at the nuclear goose falling from the sky


MadCat: *MadCat hugs Rouxls\
AJ: So liketh... why are we hugging while a nuclear waterfowlth plumets towards us?

*[T-MINUS 10 SECONDS TILL IMPACT]

MadCat: may love save us
Also this:
*MadCat casts Orange Barrier
*You are filled with the power of Orange
*...it's closer to a lemon, actually.

AJ: *Rouxls turns into an lemon colored orange and flies up to the goose, hitting it midair....
*A flash of orange light fills the room.

MadCat: Rouxls what the hell that's a defense spell-

AJ: *Rouxls explodes on impact, scattering bits of orange peel over the floor...
*Rouxls has left the party...

MadCat: *MadCat licked the orange peel
*Despite everything, it still feels more like a lemon.

ETA: *Everyone has a sneaking suspicion they should continue the plot,
*and head into the Valley de Happy...

MadCat: *MadCat looks around for any more alive AND compitent party members
*Dissapointment.
*MadCat leaves the party and continues their journey separately and heads into Valley de Happy...

ETA: *A magical, will-bending force compels the entire party to follow the cat

MadCat: *MadCat continues their way to the valley and pretends not to notice the party

ETA: *While the party is in the passing land between the goals-
...
*What's this?
...
...
...
*V1 ULTRAKILL appeared out of nowhere!
HELLO. DO YOU HAVE ANY BLOOD? (this was a text to speech file thing)

MadCat: *MadCat repeats the words in their head multiple times
*They still cannot make out what V1 is saying...

MadCat: yeah, I brought some for you *roleplay action points at the party, unable to escape due to the will-bending force*
You gonna let me pass if I give you all those blood bags?

ETA: {audio transcript: GIVE ME ALL THE BLOOD YOU HAVE. I WILL SHOW NO MERCY IF YOU DO NOT.}

MadCat: *MadCat still has not recovered from their blood loss earlier
*This fills them with CONFIDENCE in their redundancy to V1

Alright, feel free to suck all of 'em dry *I make a welcoming gesture towards the party behind*

{audio transcript: OKAY. I ONLY NEED A SMALL AMOUNT.}
*V1 throws a few coins up into the air,
*a blinding light appearing as V1 shoots
*a coin and they all + ULTRARICOSHOT x4
*into everyone.

*Nobody died but the whole party is now -10 HP.

MadCat: *MadCat realises their plan is flawed, but give no hint of being startled

Is that enough blood for you, dear colleague?

ETA: *V1 suddenly disappears, saying nothing.

*MadCat checks their pocket watch
*It was time for V1 to go and shoot in the Indie Cross episode 3
*Relief.

MadCat: Alright gang, let's keep going
*MadCat acknoweldged the party's existence for the first time since they left the forest, MORALE is boosted.

The RP isn't finished...... Yet.
