1. Tump Voice Note Vol3 around Tump.exe 1 https://youtu.be/JL468512pv0 He's happy to see us progressing so well, although from here on it will get more dangerous. He says the reason we're losing control over the system might be because of 'her'. He's wrangled some of his old access codes back which he can hopefully use to aid us somewhat.

2. mysterious message from (yan?) Tump https://youtu.be/NhpZw8iqIJI 

> 3. Crazy Tump 🌸

• he introduces himself as Tump von Valdicth and asks if we've seen his bees

⊕ he hands us each a small yellow rock

• his penguin butler brings us 'drinks'
• he takes Red to see a dagger, leaving Caen in a room full of odd skeletons hanging from the ceiling
• he shows Red into a room full of weapons of his own creation, most notable the Rose's Bane, which immobilizes enemies via burning rose vines
• the skeletons begin to move towards Caen, who starts petting them
• he tells Red about a rude man in a white suit who came by, and a women with long hair, just like the white lady who fittingly appears in the room
• she is hard to make out, but has blue eyes, and once again extends her arms at Red, her mouth opening as though to say something
• Crazy Tump and Red start running, picking up Caen along the way
• the woman corrupts a door to step through it. Crazy Tump tries to, but cannot touch her, instead phasing through

⊕ as they're fleeing he gives Red a blue and a red knife &  Caen an unidentifiable, slightly cracked bird skull (Van) which he hints might offer some protection 

✎﹏ it is implied corrupting a Tump takes their entire file with them

✎﹏ the purification completing shifts the amulet's colour slightly towards blue 

> Menu

• we receive a highly corrupted message which reads 'Return to me. _____ is _______ death ______ you ______ mine.'
• the image of the woman in white flashes behind the message text and BaT informs us she's here, but he's trying to reroute her like before
• many glitchy duplicates of hers appear, reaching for us with clawed hands and red eyes
• as the system throws up errors, we hear from the 'Echoes': 'Mine.. Freedom.. Flesh.. Lost.. Come.. Free.. Me..'
• as she rushes towards us BaT finally manages to turn her to ashes, which revert to code and vanish
• he says it's getting stronger
• if we make it to 7 purifications or sacrifices, we can unlock his file 

> 5. Butler Tump 🌸

• he file is a human castle in Aztral, before the empire's fall. He introduces himself as the grey butler, half-Herlot servant to the human prince
• he offers us his own tea blend as it is revealed via a glance of physical injuries he is horribly mistreated here
• he seems confused over whether he really is Tump or Reyleth

⊕ he gives us an amulet dedicated to Lariam; a small tree above crashing waves

• when Tump.exe informs us of the woman approaching, we purify him
• Tump.exe freezes the file temporarily, making us unable to enter but not harming Reyleth

✎﹏ if unpurified/corrupted Tumps are frozen, they may be damaged

◐ 3 purifications

1. Tump Voice Recording Vol 5 https://youtu.be/fBK-Nsix7G0 He's worried about how Red will handle things, but he will try to tamper with this version's code to help.

2. BaT Voice Log 2 https://youtu.be/yEU8y_jfmw0 He says he's scared of the white lady, because he isn't technically a Tump so he doesn't know what encountering her would do to him, but he's sure we can get him out. And that it might be our only chance of escaping.

3. News Report from 2008 https://youtu.be/Ow_rl9lAl-Q The company's news broadcast informs us they have recently changed their name to Tump Inc and are working on a new virtual reality interface: Tump.exe. There has been a series of disappearances of children aged 7-13. Small text in thr corner says '.....|..---'

4. Odd Message from inside the system https://youtu.be/0afFRHPJKtQ a glitchy female voice says 'don-', 'tru-', '-atum', and finally 'danger'. The description says 'It doesn't have to be perfect. None of it does. It is our night after all and we do with it as we fit. Here. Take my hand. Let me have this dance.'

❖ Loli Tump has gone from stable to half stable 

> 6. Chuuni Tump

• he introduces himself as Theodore la Lilian vi Lightborn aka Black Light, struggling in brooding exile to contain his power so as to not hurt us
• we immediately start calling him Theo
• he demonstrates little magic tricks for us, while we argue on whether to corrupt him or not

⊕ he gives Red a seashell necklace & Caen an earring carved from a reindeer antler with vague positive norse runes

• he shows us a music box with the same melody he heard in a dream involving the woman in white
• as she is once again approaching, we quickly exit to the menu. As we leave, we witness the amulet settle on green while the woman kneels to Theo's height, ignoring us

❖ file 6. Chuuni Tump is miraculously stable

• access to all further files is cut off as Tump.exe offers us a tear by file 8 that we can traverse with our amulet
• said tear is a blue slit in the wall big enough to walk through. It is said we think we see 'familiar figures' trying but unable to reach us in our protective bubble

> 8. ... Tump?..

• the file contains (a) Tump, slumped by a computer, which is breathing. He's badly scratched up and clearly barely alive, not healing like we do
• he advises us weakly to run
• we attempt to carry him out of the file, but multiple spikes shoot up from the ground and pierce his body before we can make it out
• the system stops responding to us, the amulet is glowing red
• as Tump bleeds out, a man in a white suit steps out of the darkness, mocking us

> Plectum's Garden 🌸

• he states that killing the real Tump would be 'bad for his health'
• we attempt to punch him, but he is completely unfazed. He attempts to have the system freeze us, but the amulet prevents it
• he opts to simply pin us in place with floor spikes instead
• he changes the scenery to the side of a mountain lake and his suit to a purple one, revealing he is Plectum, not Pristum
• he drops some lore, saying Tump would have never entered the system had he known it was him he was dealing with instead of Pristum. They are fundamentally different from the Tumps
• both of their names contain 'Tump' in some way, and the rest is 'part of the name that was taken from them'
• after Caen asks him whether he is a person he says 'Pristum.. Plectum.. The mind.. She.. And more... People we are no longer'
• his former name starts with an A
• when Red asks if they're the stolen children he divulges that some of them are
• he reveals that dying in the system will leave you effectively brain dead, which is why he intends to use our bodies to escape it after disposing of us
• 'it was Tump Inc who originally helped you get in here... for it was Tump... who broke into this world first'
• further, Tump Inc wants us here because they want to get their hands on Tump again
• the whole brain chip disaster was orchestrated by his 'mistress' and happened while we were already in the system, so now 'they' control most of the company even irl
• he is inconvenienced by some of the code Tump has inserted, keeping him stuck
• 'I will deliver soon. What she wants to her. Maybe then she will... Never mind'
• he carves 'give up' into Red's hand and shoves a box of mints into a hole in Caen's throat left behind by a spike
• he gives us one 'bonus' purification and tells us not making decisions will have consequences from now on
• Caen manages to bite him while he isn't expecting it and it seems to hurt, then he shoves us both back through a portal
• Caen insists they corrupt Chuuni Tump now, mentioning she is doubtful a protection oriented amulet will be strong enough 

> 7. Yiff Tump 💀

• we are immediately hugged without our consent
• while Red is being uncharacteristically hateful Caen tries to extract information, and he tells them about the woman in white passing through occasionally, though he doesn't seem scared of her at all
• when stabbed by Red, he bleeds pink
• we chose to eliminate him
• the woman appears, but Plectum prevents us leaving the file
• amulet in hand, Caen successfully walks through the wall into the corridor, but has to search for a moment to get back to retrieve Red
• as she yanks them out of the file, the woman in white seems like she was trying to say something

> 9. Roleplay Tump 💀

• the file consists of a forest with a campsite at which an adventurer sits
• he tells us this is the Asyr forest, where there has been a ghost wandering around
• he leaves to go investigate or take care of a noise
• jovial music starts up as the atmosphere darkens around us, corrupting until a twitching figure appears
• the Follower speaks in an echoey voice composed of many Tumps, being a corrupted fusion of Yandere Tump and Tex, and having inherited their opposing desires
• it walks slowly and occasionally warps after us as we run into the forest
• we are pulled aside and hidden against a tree by the adventurer. He asks us specifically to take his hands as he leads us out of the forest
• he is revealed to just be an animated corpse which holds us while the Follower approaches
• the woman in white appears as well, breaking its hold over the adventurer to free us
• she appears in between the Follower and us as we flee. When Caen thanks her for this her song gets a little less corrupted
• we manage to escape with one bonus corruption

1. Echoes of the Collective Mind https://youtu.be/DnkRrD4zxN0 An echoey disembodies voice has an identity crisis over being (or not being) Tump. (I think he might be Plectum?)

2. Tump Recordings Vo l2 https://youtu.be/9_Ddjojho8E He talks wistfully about who his friend (A-) used to be before he became what he is now, which Tump describes as 'almost like Tex, his creation'.

3. Mysterious Message https://youtu.be/xDb1htlBoNk The system has detected external code but its counter measures are interrupted. Messages float across the screen from someone begging to be found, then it flickers to red. A female voice says 'Tump. You there? I feel you. Please return to me'.

◐ 4 purifications, 2 corruptions

1. Echoes of the Collective Mind

2. Tump Recordings Vol 4 from around Tump.exe 2 https://youtu.be/fSR_VRADHUo Tump is horrified, sure that the elimination mechanic cannot be what Tump Inc intended. He says someone has tampered with the code, but he can at least use this to make the amulet.

3. Tump Recordings Vol2

4. BaT Voice File 3 https://youtu.be/8q9Zj4aXm6Y Sounding increasingly untrustworthy, he begs us to get him out. He says there are keys/passwords in the system, one of which can be obtained by 'destroying' Loli Tump.

✎﹏ canonically Lily & Mess stayed behind in Tump.exe 2, where Lily encountered a bug that threw her back out into reality after which Mess decided to come looking for us

❖ Loli Tump is now highly unstable

• we receive a summons from Plectum that automatically takes precedence over the other messages. He says he has news and an offer, if we come to him (urgently)
• walking through the corridor there we encounter a swarm of familiar blue butterflies, a reference to 04 decaying into them in Tump.exe 2. They are corporeal and able to pass through the protective bubble
• we emerge into the garden, which is devoid of life save for a music box melody playing from somewhere
• the source of it is a medallion with a picture on in, which Plectum shuts on our arrival at his picnic spot
• he changes the scenery to a hill by the ocean at night. There are animals now
• he halfheartedly apologizes, saying he was 'quite tense as some things had not gone as planned'
• he claims he lied about needing our bodies to escape, since with some 'recent changes' he's acquired hosts, apparently utilizing the brain chips. However, he cannot leave without his mistress
• he offers to let us leave as long as we leave Tump behind. We yell at him
• he says that unlike us, Tump belongs here, and soon he will be 'unreachable' anyway
• as we leave he calls after us a warning about 'the one who observes'
• BaT asks us to please free him, but we elect not to

> 1. Loli Tump 💀

• the file is severely deteriorated, and Loli Tump is huddled in a corner mumbling about a dark man coming for her
• she says it took part of her, and it 'smiles, watches, follows', coming back again and again, twisted but always the same

⊕ we corrupt her, and it spits out a code which Caen notes down on a piece of bamboo paper, presumably used to unlock file 4 (it is 44, 65, 75, 73 | 61, 64, 65, 73, 74)

> 10. Tump.exe

• the file contains a bar somewhere high up in a city, and is full of Tump.exe's
• the bar is called Rest.exe, and here we can converse with all the Tumps we've purified (and Chuuni Tump)
• with the aid of Crazy Tump, we throw one of the exe clones through the floor to ceiling windows, Crazy Tump surfing down on him
• the session ends on a cliffhanger, as as we're leaving the lights flicker and the Tumps disappear. Accompanied by her theme song, the white lady walks in through the window and beckons us again
• she tells us 'come'
• she is mentioned to have black hair, blue eyes, and to be wearing a robe 

✎﹏ it is implied the saved Tumps have wildly varying levels of awareness of their situation, Reyleth not understanding at all and Tea Tump directly talking about his purification. He also knows about Brexit

❖ we have unlocked file 11. Rin.tmp

◐ 4 purifications, 3 corruptions
