We apologize for the delay in getting this out to you!

----

Whenever Kimbley next enters the Arcade, all the robots nearby will slow to a halt and turn to look at him. The lights nearby flicker from white to an electric blue, brightening cheerfully. After a moment, the largest robot, with a screen for its face, wheels itself in front of him and lights up.

youre one of my oldest friends kimbley!!
one of the best
you helped me get out
and you stayed with me this whole time
even when the fog god made other friends leave


For a moment, the robot's screen dims, and its arms droop. Then it straightens again.

i want to protect you
im going to make sure that none of her bad guys can find you
unless you want them to

:)


The robot reaches for Kimbley, the smiley face huge across the screen, grabbing onto both of his wrists with what feels like a violent static shock. When Kimbley is released, he will have his new abilities - as well as reddish-pink markings where the robot touched him.

i also have a present just for you!
for being my friend!!


A panel in the robot's chest will open up, and a circlet of tough wire will roll out, bouncing on the floor if Kimbley doesn't catch it. If it does hit the ground, bits of pointed wire on one side (sticking up like a crown's points) will flare with colour. Engraved over the wires is a thin, barely-visible circuit pattern - but otherwise, it seems entirely unremarkable. It won't seem to do anything but light up if Kimbley's wearing it...

The Arcade's lights slowly fade into their old colour, and the remaining robots start to trickle away, returning to their duties. But the biggest one stays - Elias isn't completely done yet.

come play with me???

The robot will try to nudge Kimbley toward an arcade game. If he goes along, for as long as he sticks around, he'll have a mysterious second player joining him in the games - the joystick moving and buttons depressing by themselves.

The crown has a couple functions: it can be used to create a sort of "flash bomb," where the lights will become incredibly bright, to the point of temporarily stunning or blinding his adversaries. Other followers of the Fourth God will not be harmed by this effect. The flash bomb effect can be used many times, but there is a recharge period between flashes (no strobe lights!). In an emergency, if Kimbley is willing to destroy it, he can break the crown in half and throw the pieces towards his enemies and use the crown as an explosive grenade.
