Lore Summaries (Melon)

## *Episode 1: Looks like they failed the test*

Recently, a new member addition to the Orange Tulip faction arrived in the form of MelonGod77. They first started off on the top floor of Poult’s house. They took some of the books that the server had left for her. They were a bit annoyed by the server and how they were messing around with Poult. Most notably, since Melon entered Lotus, they have been watching Poult’s every movement through her soul. On further investigation, it has been discovered that Poult sold her soul to Melon in the hopes that Melon could train her and become her mentor. At this time she isn't able to get her soul back unless Melon gives it back willingly (which is impossible to force Melon to do).

Melon somehow managed to get into contact with the server itself. From what is known, it ended well for Melon. The server cannot say the same, considering Melon isn’t exactly happy that the server is trying to manipulate/control their student, and Melon was more than willing to voice that.

Poult decided to confront the unknown yet familiar person in her house. Once she reached the top floor and saw them, she became wary and defensive.

After having a short conversation with who Melon calls "Puppet Poult", the two seemed to be in a room like Poults. However, it was all black and green, and Poult seemed to be a lot different there than in the presumed overworld.

(Fun fact! When Melon has control of someone’s soul, they can watch them 24/7. No matter the world or the time, they can see what that person sees and know what they think.)

Melon shared the information that the server is scared of them. Poult and Melon talked about how Poult had been manipulated by the server and that Melon could free her but chose not to free her as some form of punishment for failing a test.

Melon left Poult’s house— though not before taking some of her things— and walked out. They eventually ran into Cirrus, another member of the Orange Tulip faction. They started talking about how Poult isn’t exactly who they used to be and how they’re being manipulated by the server. Cirrus showed Melon another part of Clouds grave, which she explained was an area where the server couldn’t see or hear them. This gave Melon the opportunity to show Cirrus the notes that the server gave to Poult.

Cirrus says she thinks that Melon would fit in good with Star and Spyder. The two then started talking about how Poult’s soul belongs to Melon. This leads them to the topic of how the server cut Melon’s “strings” on Poult and took her over.

During Melon and the Server’s conversation, the server informed them about a book that is waiting for them attached to a cherry tree. Upon finding and reading the book, it simply read, *‘You lost her’.*

*(Fun fact for anyone who missed it: A nickname Melon gives Poult is “Puppet Poult” in reference to the Server controlling her.)*

(Another fun fact: Melon is theoretically only here to make sure Poult doesn’t get stabbed by “15 other people”)

## *Episode 2: The strings have been cut*

Melon is annoyed that the strings on “Puppet Poult” have been cut, as they now need to fix this and fix Poult (who is still being manipulated by the Server). Poult keeps trying to get Melon to go back “home”, but Melon is very persistent and does not want to leave.

Melon and Cirrus made a trade. Melon had a pair of wings and Cirrus wanted them so in return she let Melon take one of her canon lives, leaving her with 1 canon life left.

Poult was getting suspicious of the reasoning behind Melon being in Lotus, and when the topic of the strings were brought up, Poult seemed to have noticed that the strings were gone. Poult is still the same even after being controlled by the Server. While under the Server’s control, Poult kept wanting to be taken serious, but they weren’t and instead the Server was being taken more seriously.

Poult wanted to become a villain. However, instead of her becoming said villain, she ended up simply being what Melon referred to as ‘a dick’.

Poult mentioned that the server was a better mentor then Melon, which annoyed Melon and led them into explaining to Poult that the server was the actual villain and she was not. Melon’s real reason for them to try and get Poult back from the server is because she made a deal with Melon contracting her soul.

Melon is reaching their breaking point with Poult and mentions the **Tree** and **The End**, which are limitations of the server’s reach.

In Melon’s words, “I’ve been gaining power. Every time I do something major in this world—whether that be taking a canon life, make a deal, or get a soul— I gain more power. And, with what my base power was like, it managed to scare the server. So think about what it would be like later on.”

At the end of “war”, it is said that Poult might apologize about everything she said next to the tree that represents the passing of Cloud.

Melon stumbled across Spyder, Sal, Cirrus, Star and Rammie in a meeting of the Peace Lily Alliance. Melon was confronted by Rammie who aimed a loaded bow at them. This was due to the fact that Melon found the entrance of their hideout. However, Star was just leaving. The two decided to talk to Poult. As soon as they arrived, Poult and Star start to fight over why she started the war, along with what would happen when she declares the war. The two argued over how the war is going to end.

## *Episode 3: Breaking the rules a bit*

Melon made a promise with Poult, which was “if they stay out of that room, I’ll leave them alone”. Now they’re not wanting to leave her alone entirely, so they have decided to move in the form of a new faction, this faction is called the ‘melon faction’ and they’re going to be a group of the strongest people across the world. Poult takes Melon down into her basement, when they enter the room with signs from the server which had left. Melon had transformed it into a room where the walls are covered in melons and using the wood of the tree that Poult/Server cannot go near, (Not the actual wood) but they used enough to keep the Server out but allow Poult to enter the room. This room was constructed because for some reason Melons ability to see and hear through the soul of Poult has been lessening over time, so when she’s in the melon room Melon can hear her.

The room keeps the Server from hearing and seeing what is occurring in the room, while in the room Poult and Melon discussed a lot of different topics ranging from

- Why Melon would still want to be their friend when they were a “monster”

- How they failed all of Melons lessons

- How Star/Wren were right

- How all of her friends “hate her”

*The main reason Melon has decided to move out is because they basically messed around with the server, so the server made a rule about no melon farms and so Melon decided to make a faction for themselves, which is against the war and against the server.*

Melon slipped Poult some information that left her in shock, they said *“Cloud isn’t really gone.”* This line stopped Poult but Melon decided to not tell them anymore information.

Melon also comforts Poult when she says she’s a monster by saying that “anything you’ve done, I’ve done worse”.

Poult brought up a really good question, “what happens if I lose control?” Melon said they’d break the strings immediately or they let them control them a bit so they can plan more. Poult chose to let them control her a bit more to protect Melon so that Melon can plan more.

They’ve made connections that since Poult has had her wings she realized that she’s lost control more when she had the wings.

***The most important code for Poult to remember is “Melons Don’t even taste that good anyways”***
