"Yes... I...." Oreo stops for a moment as he feels a sudden wave of curiosity "...I think it worked.... see since you are part of my mind you aren't really a separate entity, the reason you have a separate body or appearance is because my mind is classifying you as a separate entity and must therefore create an appearance to reinforce this idea, i basically overrode that notion by removing the appearance from Curious and then absorbing the personality into my own... i guess it worked... so hmmm Nom you want to go next?" he says extending a hand to the little furry one.

Call me old fashioned, but an evil ascension to power just isn't the same without someone chanting faux Latin in the background.
Oreo, Glazing people better than Dunkin' Donuts since 2009
That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange eons even death may die.
Putting his hand on top of Nom's head he repeats the process, this time however he shifts the color of the cytoplast slightly now it is a soft purplish hue.
Once the Nom cytoplast covers him fully he wills his body to absorb the facet of himself.
Once completed he opens his eyes and looks at Sage "Just missing you partner" he says as he extends his hand to him

The relatively small size of Nom was deceptive, considering the strength of the mental wave of Nom's consciousness. It's getting hard for Oreo to think.
"Whoa...." is all Oreo manages to say as he sways due to the mental backlash.
After a few moments of deep breathing he tires to stand "....Nom's size was invertly proportional to his mental prowess... almost makes me wish the little guy was my sex drive" he says with a chuckle.

"Now, this may go one of two ways. Because of the fact that I am the more... shall we say, coherent of these alternate personalities, I could be the hardest to absorb and reintegrate. However, similarly, since I am so cognizant, I may be able to allow you to reintegrate with minimal resistance. I do not know which it will be, since I haven't done this before. Nonetheless, it will be... interesting."
He holds out his hand to shake Oreo's hand. "Good luck."
Oreo grins at Sage's concern "I have a bit of an idea for you actually, if it works, it should integrate you with no problem whatsoever" he says as he puts a hand on Sage's shoulder and closes his eyes.
Unlike the last two times he now pictures things in a bit more abstract manner, he views himself not as the human he is but rather as a frame, and Sage as a block puzzle that fits perfectly in his frame, he then starts placing each piece of the Sage puzzle into the Oreo frame, in order and with meticulous care.

"Then we best speed up, you place the top pieces of yourself while i continue from this point" he imparts, whether by actual speech or a mental command he has not the time or inclination to consider as he continues stacking the Sage pieces as quickly as he dares.

As Sage helps himself merge with Oreo, the mindscape around him starts to melt, and become absorbed into him. A strange kind of calm tranquility starts to flow through him, coming from both Sage and the tranquil landscape around him.
If Oreo hears the remark, and most importantly the voice, he does not show it, he is relishing the calm imparted by Sage.
"It seems my assumptions where correct, and the order seems to have been balanced" he mutters to himself as he opens his eyes "I take it you didn't account for the mentality of the shard and just ate them as you found them... honestly now..." he says as he finally addresses the speaker, if he held any fear for Chaos it was not apparent now.

"That means the joining was forceful..." Oreo considers this while at the same time delving deeper into the serenity brook "...yes... this might work..." he says at length "... Sadly for you i believe i understand myself better now, Chaos... I give you one chance and only one, submit right now and i'll make sure you have a good comfy spot somewhere where, i'll even let you know whats going on in the outside"

Chaos laughs again. "You really think you can do that? You really think that you have the power? Even with the geezer, that ADD triclops, and little viral thought of yours, you could even think to challenge me? You are not the dominant personality in this body. I am. I have been since before that elven quack found me. Why do you think you're even on this plane? Why do you think you've done all these random things? Why do you think that, even now, a summoned Xirathian demon is rampaging through an orphanage? I was the one pulling the little strings, while my little Kuk-Yjar puppet danced."
For some reason, the stream lends Oreo a sense of calmness, despite Chaos' words.
He laughs once again. "You know the best way to maintain control? Make the other person think they're the one in control."
Had Oreo assimilated the shard of himself that contained his emotions he would have probably denied Chaos' points with vehement anger, but as it all was he just let the himself deeper into the stream of calmness "The problem with your words Chaos..." he says at length "...is that they contradict themselves, maintain? control? this words are not something a creature of chaos would know or truly understand"
Oreo wills the stream around and inside him, forming a protective bubble of calm and order "I furthermore question your claim of dominance, you may have at some point have had influence, maybe even temporary control, but you where never dominant... and i can prove it" he says with finality as he begins to exert his will drawing out the essence of Chaos to manifest himself in front of him, its shape that of himself its robes a deep crimson instead of Oreo's Forest Green.

OOG: Congratulations, Oreo can now call upon Blue mana, and has just played an island.
IG: Blue energy erupts from Oreo's mental form. With a yelp of surprise, Chaos stumbles forward in the form Oreo demands, dragged by the strands of blue energy.
He looks up with malice in his eyes, and Oreo starts to feel him draw upon his own connection to the forest.
IC: As Oreo sees Chaos materialize a soft chuckle escapes him "Not so in control as we thought aren't we?"
As the strands of blue energy keep Chaos tightly in place Oreo calls upon the power of the forest, knowing this to be his mind and nothing more he conjures the images of his hermits to appear, one after the other, each departure leaving behind a new strand of green mana, the green strands curling around the central blue to reach towards Chaos.
As the last of the hermits appear Oreo deepens his connection to the blue energy, turning the blue strand into a slightly thicker coil "I believe I want my feeling back now" he says with a slight grin as he pictures the goo that is his feelings shard detaching from Chaos and sneaking its way towards him through the blue coil
Chaos sneers. "Your 'feelings...' pathetic fragments of a shattered person." He summons a forest, then an elven ranger. Oreo feels that Chaos is drawing upon his own spells.
As Oreo realizes this, Chaos grins. "Face it, Kuk. We're in this together."
"Then it is time we reconsider the living arrangements!" he says as he produces one large Jade Marble, he follows that with the appearance of the dancers and two of the rangers.
The coil of blue energy still strongly attached to Chaos, he causes it to surge into him, searching, probing for what he pictures as the goo of the other shards.
There's a colorful metaphor from Chaos once the dancers appear.
A similar jade marble appears for Chaos, and a twisted version of the song produces another one. He then summons another elf who stands sentinel. Yet again, Oreo feels strange, his own summons being used by someone else.
The probing finds two... things within Chaos. He can't tell who is who, or how to get to them, but he knows they're in there, and neither are happy. He swears he can hear a female 'voice' mention something about breaking a nail.
"Why isn't surprising that all you seem capable of is empty threats and twisted mimicry?" Oreo says with a sneer as the coil of blue energy thickens and the rangers produce a clear song as more Jade Marbles take shape.
A trio of sentinel elves appear at the ready eying their twisted counterpart.
"The end draws near" is all Oreo says as he sends some of the blue energy into Chaos once more, its objective to locate the female voice.
——————————
"There goes another one."
"I want him isolated. No external stimuli."
——————————
Sage stiffens. "I do believe he's taken Princess," he says. "I advise haste."
Once the Nom cytoplast covers him fully he wills his body to absorb the facet of himself.
Once completed he opens his eyes and looks at Sage "Just missing you partner" he says as he extends his hand to him
After a few moments of deep breathing he tires to stand "....Nom's size was invertly proportional to his mental prowess... almost makes me wish the little guy was my sex drive" he says with a chuckle.
——————————
"We're down three now."
"Oh, excellent. It was that annoying one."
——————————
Sage nods, and sits next to Oreo.
"Now, this may go one of two ways. Because of the fact that I am the more... shall we say, coherent of these alternate personalities, I could be the hardest to absorb and reintegrate. However, similarly, since I am so cognizant, I may be able to allow you to reintegrate with minimal resistance. I do not know which it will be, since I haven't done this before. Nonetheless, it will be... interesting."
He holds out his hand to shake Oreo's hand. "Good luck."

He hears him laugh, although where his voice is coming from is beyond Oreo. "Inspired."
——————————
"Now the one with the accent's been absorbed... that one looked like it merged into Chaos' head there."
"Are you sure there is no external stimulus prompting this?"
"We've only been watching, sir."
——————————
He feels a jolt as the pieces of Sage... well, for lack of a better word, tense up. "I think he has found us."
"Well how-dee, sweet cheeks!"
"It seems my assumptions where correct, and the order seems to have been balanced" he mutters to himself as he opens his eyes "I take it you didn't account for the mentality of the shard and just ate them as you found them... honestly now..." he says as he finally addresses the speaker, if he held any fear for Chaos it was not apparent now.
"Oh, I was willing to blend with them; they may not have been too willing, though," Chaos laughs.
For some reason, the stream lends Oreo a sense of calmness, despite Chaos' words.
He laughs once again. "You know the best way to maintain control? Make the other person think they're the one in control."
Oreo wills the stream around and inside him, forming a protective bubble of calm and order "I furthermore question your claim of dominance, you may have at some point have had influence, maybe even temporary control, but you where never dominant... and i can prove it" he says with finality as he begins to exert his will drawing out the essence of Chaos to manifest himself in front of him, its shape that of himself its robes a deep crimson instead of Oreo's Forest Green.
