Welcome, welcome, CaDs and Triads alike to the first round of the revamped version of America's FAVORITE Game Show:
ℂ 𝕆 𝕄 ℙ 𝕃 𝔼 𝕏 𝕀 ℂ 𝕆!
As always and for forever, I will be your most gracious of game-giving hosts, the one and only Complexico!
Seems like Rico and Rubeus thought they could have a little battle of the minds without yours truly. As if I wouldn't smell that trivia from cycles and spheres away. Oh well, not to fear! The complexities are looming near!
The roguish and also rouge-ish Rs should've already filled you in on the rules, but if not, don't despair! I've created some special channels in your CaDComs and Darknet communication networks. CaD, you're gonna be using the Complex channel (CX found in the same category as CD under the broader AND category.) And the Dark, you can find my precious complexities in your Enemies section under "Fun Puzzles" (Found in the Other category specifically, you can't miss 'em! I made them BRIGHT green.)
I've already uploaded each and every Complexity for this game, but each requires a password from the last. Pretty standard Complexico format this time around. The first team to reach the end wins! Wins what? The Prize! And this round's prize is none other than Solomon's Scepter! Yes, yes, that Solomon's Scepter. Sometimes called the Staff of Solomon.
They say those who wield it can bend reality to their whim!
…Well, for as long as they can hold onto the Scepter before it once again goes missing, that is. And the range on it isn't that great either. Though, still, a fantastic prize that I ethically sourced. If the CaDs got it, I'm sure they could, I don't know, imprison Umbra, remove the Wicked Blight from within their souls, and maybe even safeguard the mantle 8 now and forever? And if the Dark nabs it, well, that depends on who in the Dark nabs it, though I assume it's more of the same old boring "get the first bible, kill God, blah blah blah."
Alright, enough talk. Let's get complex. Here's your first Complexity, and I'll see you all at the end! Or I'll see you around if you can see me, that is.
I'm looking for a booking, think you can help?
Pencil me in when you can, though I don't want to lock in anything too specific. Maybe the 14th... or the 15th works for you?
Mm... no... this doesn't feel quite right does it? A bit too samey for my tastes.
Eh, buzz in when you know... or remember.

I've been monitoring the psychonautic residue left by Aplut, and everything seems more or less normal. There's still some psychic energy built up in the Cafe, but I think that's to be expected with how brightly Aplut shone and how quickly she tore herself apart… well… not that I didn't help with that. The good news is that the residue isn't growing; it's in a steady decline. And, I was thinking, maybe it'd be nice to do a quick three-card spread to get a sense of where we've been—and where we might end up.
Illusions shattered, Aplut defeated. Still, the shards of memories, emotions, and their mysteries still dig into our feet, and the blood they spill will—or maybe already have—reveal new truths. Illusions become reality only to become fiction once again.
A warning. Our minds alone cannot solve the problems yet to come. We must try to see things from all perspectives, intellectual, spiritual, esoteric, and beyond. We must make the proper connections, finish every sequence, conquer every wall, and find what has been hidden if we hope to comprehend the hidden forces at play.
Rewards for our efforts, I think. Good planning will lead to long-term success. As it should. We need to not jump to conclusions or rash actions, especially in regard to our Present. We must plan carefully, and if we do, it is certain we will be rewarded.
So, some things to keep in mind, yeah? Also, Barista, if you ever want a personal reading, just let me know! It sucks you can't be here in person but know that you're still part of the team!
Past, present, and future!
