Entropic Decay

"Entropic Decay" is the third major Plasma Temple storyline, though it is mostly self-contained. Unlike the previously more Voice-centric storylines, Entropic Decay centers mostly around the less understood aspects of the setting in a non-linear manner, allowing for a more natural form of story progression to compliment the surreal content within. The name of the storyline was quietly leaked on the wiki June 6th, 2020 at midnight on the Severance page, and the storyline itself began on July 12th, 2020. None of this was announced, even though the storyline had been building up and hinted at since the beginning of June the same year.
== Plot ==
After a long period of peace and quiet, the denizens of Plasma Temple (aside from the otherworldly "staff" members) start noticing changes unmentioned and seemingly unnoticed by their more supernatural companions, along with the addition of minor details to past events that seemed to have been omitted from people's minds. With the Voices being less active than ever, and the emergence of a new Caliber 1 being, change is coming to the way you perceive reality.

== Events ==
=== Initial buildup ===
Starting with the "emergence" of Wretch in June, new pages were added to the wiki, containing content that called back to certain aspects of other Plasma Temple storylines, mostly ones relating to Ampére, Fabricator, and a certain mysterious imposter. Other than the content within the Severance page, none of the buildup is currently worth noting.
=== July 2020 ===
On July 12th, Lichify changed his profile picture to a darker edit of his normal one, saying "goodbye july" and that he'd "see you organed types soon", before asking Phantom if he wanted anything (he requested a "triple salad" and "squiggle side fries", both things that can be conceivably attributed to things in the real world), Lich then changed his status to the words "restrictions lifted", and implies that this is some kind of tradition. This is not brought up the subsequent days. 
On July 16th, Lich posted two images, one containing Fabricator and the other containing Drifting Manic's Enmity persona, and told people to pick a side. Fabricator won unanimously, leading to Drifting Manic to fully change into Enmity, though he still maintains the behaviour and speech pattern of his normal state. On the same day, Extrinsic got an updated profile picture (again), and spoke briefly to Licentious. 
On July 20th, Extrinsic spoke to Cynx before disappearing after Memory was brought up again. No more activity is observed from Extrinsic for the remainder of the night.
On July 22nd, the Retry? page was added to the wiki, hinting at details from the original death of Memory. Extrinsic also finally received a page on the wiki, though it doesn't provide much insight towards her character and instead lead to another page that hinted at her abnormal origin and a new character baring the moniker of "The Wasp with Teeth". Later on, Extrinsic speaks to Licentious again to ask about "continues", to which Licentious informs her they have none. Extrinsic expressed confusion at this, believing they had only ever used up one on December 18th, 2018. This leads Extrinsic to make an arrangement with Malignant, asking if he'd be interested in "figuring out how to get rid of a Caliber 1".
On July 23rd, Fabricator obtained a unique role entitled "Progenitor", and an update to their wiki page revealed them to be a Caliber 2 entity.
== Trivia ==
* The Wasp with Teeth's associated image hold some small tidbits of info that can be gathered about the character. Said image was posted to the wiki under the name "analogy", as the true nature of the character is beyond the comprehension of most minds and the actual being doesn't have a single aspect of it that can be conveyed in words.
** Furthermore, the wasp in the image is likely in the pompilidae family of wasps, a family of wasps known for hunting spiders, and Extrinsic is regularly referred to as being the "spider voice". Not only that, but N Spider is also unambiguously invocative of an arachnid.
* The interaction between Extrinsic and Malignant is extremely out of place considering Malignant's spiteful nature, especially since Extrinsic has always seemed to get along with him the least. 
** The deal may have also came at the cost of her partnership with Atrophy, which is (despite the irony of Atrophy being involved in it) her last healthy relationship.
