People lie all the time. Why is that a bad thing?


The suppression of Pinocchio is the third Abnormality battle on the KeterIcon.pngFloor of General Works. It is unlocked by opening all three Middle Floors (TipherethIcon.pngFloor of Natural Sciences, GeburaIcon.pngFloor of Language, and ChesedIcon.pngFloor of Social Sciences) and reaching UrbanNightmareIcon.png Urban Nightmare. Roland and two Assistant Librarians are available for use.

Completing the suppression will raise the realization level and maximum reachable Emotion Level of the Floor to IV. It will also unlock the Floor's third Assistant Librarian, as well as three new Abnormality Pages (see below).

Overview

Pinocchio's unique mechanic is that it uses the Librarian's deck against them, copying their deck and using it as its own, while its follower unit complicates the fight by randomizing the Light costs for the Librarians' Combat Pages. Pinocchio will try to Lie every few Scenes by playing a slightly different version of one of the Librarian's Combat Pages (for example, by changing the type of an Offensive die), and Roland must use a special Combat Page to challenge the Lie. If he fails, the Pinocchios are buffed; if he wins, the Pinocchios are debuffed.

Formation

Pinocchio the Liar

Behavior

  • Pinocchio the Liar copies the deck Roland is currently using.
  • Whenever SkillGreenIcon.png Lies is active (the first Scene and every 2-3 following Scenes), Roland will gain a copy of Lying is Bad! in hand. Using it as directed by the passive will prevent the Pinocchios from being buffed by the Lie.

Trivia

  • Pinocchio's battle stage is a wooden stage with a faint light shining on it. Many other wooden puppets resembling Pinocchio are hanging on the ceiling in many different postures.
  • Pinocchio is based on the children's fairy tale The Adventures of Pinocchio by Italian author Carlo Collodi. The story is about a naughty and dishonest living wooden puppet called Pinocchio who goes through various adventures and becomes a human in the end. The Librarians' combat dialogue for this reception alludes to this.
  • Pinocchio is the only Abnormality fully original to Library Of Ruina. All other Abnormalities in LOR which did not appear in Lobotomy Corporation, such as The Jester of Nihil and Ozma, were originally planned to feature in the prequel but were cut.
