: “Good?”
nods in satisfaction.
RAW TEXT
: “aye im talkin here”
is doing a thing
: “So when i say something” before the hunter moves do some thing else… “and then resume talking…”
it should no longer break?
yeeeeeah
: “tfw you listen to stuff from your own soundtrack and get too hype to function”
lol
hmm wasn’t there
another channel
oh it’s in the archives now???
HMM
Teak, how much of a pain in the ass would it be for the landing page to have a little notification area showing the last, idk, four or so archived scenes that went up so stuff that that isn’t super easy to miss?
also VERY lmao at the avatar scrunching up when there’s A Lot Of Text in the archive view
archive display is a bit wonky in general actually on that note but reformatting that prob isn’t super important
ALSO FUNNY STORY
Despite the example scene being archived before the session proper… it still has the notifications about songs playing in it lol
: “lmao, ope, it sure does”
: “and yeah the actual archive view is totally boned / still basically using the Old Layout, I need to completely rework it and just haven’t gotten around to that yet”
: “that’s a good idea though re: the landing page, i meant to make a note in discord that A Scene Had Happened and forgot to but, yeah, I like that idea, remind me, like… sometime”
doot doot doot, doin prep
wa-hoo
: “had to do another last-minute code update lol”
: “‘scuse my audio cue, I’m testing a minor change I made. Part of the problem is I erred SO hard on avoiding ‘oh god where is the sound coming from get rid of it’ that I think I introduced bugs where autoplayback isnt happening and should be…”
: “hmm, butts”
time to kiss NPCs
tries the /me command
says, “Look ma, I’m using the older format!”
: “Gahahaha”
doing a READY CHECK because of WHO THEY ARE AS A PERSON (it’s ok if you’re not here yet but when you are, sound off)
i am here but also def need the last ten minutes to finish this episode
: “hahah, it’s all good, I’m definitely not STARTING until on-the-dot at absolute minimum”
Yo.
I’m here
ꙮ y’know it’s weird - coming from IRC - not having a “people nicking up” ritual that happens, I just realised that’s what felt fucking odd about session start, haha
: “anyways, post is up and it’s an intro that lets people trickle in as they get here”
haha
oh weird i didn’t get a notification about new messages in there
: “IS THERE CHEESE”
i’m gonna make there be cheeese
after all… who will stop you
>:3c
looks amused. “Am I allowed to dictate what fare was available?”
: “reasonable facsimilies are good enough!!”
ꙮ i might contradict or problematicise it but yes
huh
weird i sent a message and it didn’t appear… until i clicked over here and then back, and suddenly there was a LOT more text in the other channel
ꙮ wtf :|
: “yeah that’s what happens to me”
ꙮ that oughtn’t be happening and is baffling but standard “if something is being fucky, reload your browser and it SHOULD just Be Fine” rules apply
what is happening?
ꙮ Breakfast is happening! In [Threshold], which should be available via the sidebar
refreshing the page seems to have fixed it…?
yes! I saw that, I meant what were the tech issues
ꙮ oh sorry unless you mean the technical misbehaviour in which case notifications are having a nutty for people and I’m perplexed as to why
also how does the food taste?
yeah hachi, any DREAMS, possibly with WEIRD CONTEXTLESS SCENES and STRANGE VOICES… maybe people could even SHARE them……………………………………………..
:3
: “y’gotta take a swing IC if you want to shake this tree”
barely any of you ever mentioning them was definitely one of my most “damn you sure can’t predict how players will react to stuff huh” moments lmao
ꙮ Ostensible Cheeses is the name of my next cover band
ꙮ also lol Ice
I would listen to that
your TSA speedrunner name, teakwood
er TAS? w/e
ꙮ if i were in GDQ i’d absolutely have a really ostentatious pesterchum style screen name, i can admit this about myself
teak speedrunning the TSA in the airport
lol
hello yes I’m here now I think
: “I think”
ꙮ yay!
ergo sum?
: “hello friendo!! get yourself some nibbles”
well I said that and then it took my computer fifteen seconds and a refresh for it to send
oof
that one sent right away though so I think whatever was borked is fixed now! thanks for being patient
ꙮ Yeah for some reason the first post you post doesn’t act quite right and then a page refresh fixes it, this only happens for me for new scenes but I’ve sort of managed to reliably reproduce it and I’ll gnaw on it >.>
oh huh, glad to know that’s a website issue and not a my connection issue
Dragon, what fruits are there and which ones are familiar to me and which ones aren’t?
when i opened my browser this page was already open, i think it probably did an initial refresh but it might be worth testing if refreshing before anything else fixes it? idk!
ꙮ probably more fruits are familiar to you and Wolf than anyone else. you don’t have any fucking concept of what a lychee is, though, and the Clockwork Knight straight up ate one whole a second ago so probably don’t follow their lead there
IT WAS DELICIOUS. ESPECIALLY THE OUTSIDE
the fuck is a lychee. google HOSTILE FRUIT
gahahaha
i figure i probably know a couple of things from the hydroponics gardens back home but not much. i kinda imagine that the people in the Academy treat food much like the Archons of Sharlayan in XIV (necessary fuel to continue working, optimize for efficiency over experience) but that the Kushtaka have more appreciation for flavor and a more thoroughly developed ethnic cuisine
ꙮ yeah pretty much. the academy has some hardcore cooking nerds who get really into it so it’s not, like, Full Archon Loaf direness but you’re on the right track, yeah
: “Wolf probably knows a BUNCH of what his world makes–mendicant warrior-priest–but is also very used to, like…pemmican and dried fruits/nuts for the road, too.”
ꙮ i love the sword-saint so much, help
: “Shepard.”
meant to run this idea earlier but was so busy ty for patience one and all
ꙮ <3!
hi I’m trying to remind myself how to italicize text within quotes don’t mind me “This is a /test/.”
ok cool
I love the clockwork knight so much.
<3
Actually hey Dragon, there’s a thing I would have wanted to do a roll about sometime between going to my quarters at the end of the last session and joining the crew this session - would it be okay/appropriate to do an “off-screen roll” here so I can enter the scene knowing something? I’d describe what I wanna roll in our private chat
Y’all are delightful! (This is Fen, btw.)
<3
ꙮ Yeah feel free to poke me in the sidechannel
Awoken/Hunter buddy cop comedy when
ꙮ lawl
ꙮ irl lol
Come on guys, you can’t have a cow if he can’t make one!
: grabs the spray bottle**
Just for you, Fen
<3
also suddenly hit by the realization that me and hachi actually HAVE had buddy cop comedy characters together, like, twice??? and also buddy criminal characters lol
roll for cooking void abominations I guess
dungeon meshi time
we got the deathly-serious ideological opposites out of the way early in our travels
I need to check out dungeon meshi
Dude yes
Im Absolutely Fucking Cooking the next void abomination we kill
this is my CULTURE
i’m eatin’ it
hell yeah
Absolutely check out dungeon meshi
ꙮ basically imagine every single thing this person says with like anime ass _ emoji expressions going on
ꙮ Oops that didn’t format right at all
i am picking up the Something Is Not Quite Right vibes on this person
ꙮ CUTE,
Archivist given Tru Academic vibes
the only thing I’ve decided about this character so far is that he’s a grad student and I know how to faithfully portray one of those
haha
sad grad student handshake
Not me, trolling sins with the lychee
wait, what’s the troll? I’m game to play along but if the joke is that lychee requires some kind of processing to be edible/is gross when bright red, I don’t recognize it since i’ve only ever had, like, jarred lychee and not fresh
well that was weird
yes it was. glad it wasn’t just me
nope me too
maybe it was the building existential horror
oh good
yeah i think it just refreshed itself haha
SO GLAD you added in support for keeping text in the typing field btw
ꙮ Yeah my only concern is that it ate somebody’s post, which, hopefully that did not actually happen
it did but I was just enthusiastically nodding at Ice, which I did in another beat anyway
Are our characters aware of the titles we have set up right now? I want to just go by The Archivist for now but I’m not sure if I would have seen it anywhere or if I need to ask the group for a name and let one of you give it to me
ꙮ You are Aware Of The Titles
Sanctuary AU where everything is the same but The Archivist is Archie From The Archie Comics
haha
ꙮ need you all to know “wakey” made me laugh so hard i scared my cat
apologies to zoe
the awoken just made laugh embarrassingly loudly as well, though no cats suffered as a result
Oh no, it’s the obligatory ice physics level :P
ꙮ using the wc real quick while yall get a chance to react
This theater-kid-acting motherfucker…
Deeply Emet coded
FYI that Wolf might have slightly lost his damn mind just now. >.>;
hunter’s all ‘on the one hand i feel like we should probably gather information here, on the other hand i am curious if we CAN invoke the rite on these maybe-gods so im not stopping anyone from swinging’ :D
: “don’t worry I got something in the chamber”
: “don’t worry”
Hey, God. What happens if he tries to take a swing? Just…asking for a friend.
Can I attempt to de-escalate?
by ‘he’ do you mean Wolf or Omniclast? either way the answer is “it initiates a Rite”
Ducking typo
I see the omniclast got all the charisma in the divorce
lmao
hahah
you Aren’t Wrong
Cheese so fake, it ended the worlds
JESUS CHRIST GET SOME COUPLES THERAPY YOU TWO
efsdkjafl;jfdls;dsajf;dklsajfs
those were almost exactly my own words iirc lol
: “THESE ARE OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN WE MADE TOGETHER AND YOU DON’T EVEN LOVE THEM”
–Omniclast to Architect, probably
(also knight, you’re a they/them yes? or did I get it wrong?)
I think it makes more sense for an Endjinn to be they/them?
So yeah
extremely that energy, lol
I will, as a dumbass white guy, absolutely fuck it up, but I’m trying to stay in character
it wouldn’t be too odd i don’t think if some of the later ones mimiced meta/human culture a bit more and picked a gender but especially for the first endjinn? yeah that definitely makes sense
RP is for playing different genders! It’s fun.
I believe it is for many. I…have no strong opinions on it?
Fair enough! Like being different people :3c
i’m gonna swing on his ass if nobody else does
did we come up with a standardized way to OOC rite actions btw?
ꙮ Uhhhh not consistently yet, it’s something I’m working on
kk
ꙮ slash we’re all working on as we go
ꙮ also bide a moment i am experiencing Cat Aggro
‘to reach’ meaning ‘to cut’
yes I just had Archie do a weasel war dance as his canon Battle Stance
there is an open Rite table btw
Cat has begun an IRL Rite
is this another 6 PC brawl
there’s nothing structured or ritualistic about Cat Aggro
No, this is the tutorial fight you’re scripted to lose, check them STATS
well if teak didn’t want that maybe they should have given us a less punchable guy
I have a chance to do the funniest thing right now
.
no red?! no white?!
sultai ass mf
no red IS admittedly a little weird
no white tracks tho
what the fuck is “sacrosanct” and why does that sound bad
haha
Why is there a pile of tokens in one column?
That’s ice
oh yeah those are reminds for myself about my red/black procs
Thematically, I should not go first. Mechanically…I can provide a small amount of defense
I say Wolf and Awoken can go for it though
I was gonna say, we should probably go in order of our eagerness to fight? Which to me is Wolf first, then me, then Awoken, and the others I have less of a read on
- You hear — and your Star hears — a song, echoing from the stillness: Stranger
Damn it, I don’t hear it. =(
ꙮ Wobble the volume control? D:
That doesn’t work unless I’ve done it BEFORE the song starts playing.
And it resets periodically.
Browser?
Chrome.
I didn’t hear it initially but I just wobbled it and now it’s fine. Maybe refresh? This is worth hearing, if not now then later
ꙮ Sending it to you privately, we’ll get to the bottom of this
Nope. Refresh does nothing.
I’m goin’
Teakers gave it to me–go for it, Awoken, and I’ll go after.
Oh HELL this song, dang!
oh he’s
i get what’s going on now
lol, lmao
This song FUCKS
Is there something that makes this obviously not a rite of the dragon or is this a hunter thing?
trying to figure out how to add the pog lol
It’s not the normal song that plays during the rite!
ꙮ click and plus sign like you did when you added your pog in the first place
Hachi - just like your standard deck, but pick Lithos
There’s ALSO another thing going on but idk if that’s supposed to be obvious to anyone else but me, but the song being Wrong should be 100% apparent to everyone
ꙮ the Hunter was Talking About The BGM, which is literally a Thing That You Can Hear and is different from the BGM that played when a Rite started in the last session
I wonder how many wrong things there are
hearing BGM is diagetic
ꙮ correct
on our old world, would have a heard the first rite BGM enough to know it was the Rite BGM?
slash do we know the Name of the BGM?
ꙮ You would not have heard the Rite BGM before, but it Feels Incredibly Correct for it to have been audible for the Rite somehow
…just saw his life total.
yeah don’t hold back
wasn’t planning on it, bud
Does this music sound different/weird/wrong/incorrrect? aside from the fact we’re all going to get annihilated
uh hey Dragon, is Quick Hit supposed to be infinite damage? Because I just read it again and it’s definitely infinite damage
I think the card returns at end of turn to avoid infiloop?
It’s a Quick that deals damage and goes back to your hand. There’s an infinite number of times you can play it per turn
Ohhhh okay that makes more sense
Return is to the draw pile, not the discard pile or hand
Oh
No Return is to deck
OH okay cool. I just wasn’t sure how much of a “fuck you” kind of fight this was. I’ll go next if that’s alright
Sins, Pads is mid action
You can go third
OH right I saw two actions but forgot that the Omniclast goes in between, completely my bad
>.> Listen, Wolf’s honorable, that doesn’t mean he fights fair**
In the meantime - Hunter/Saint - who’s going 4/5/6?
Law Of The Jungle Law Of The Jungle
As he damn well should
Hunter’s pretty okay with hanging back rn
but also will jump up if anyone else is hanging back harder
I’ll go next
or 4th
Cool. Ice, 5, me 6, if we’re all alive?
yeah that’ll work.
oh not that it probably matters but I technically got to … snipe something at the very opening, except it wouldn’t have mattered, right?
He takes a stress from targeting me, tho!
frigging Demonic Tutor++
If it did matter, the cards that were in his hand to start that still exist are Sorrowful memory, Defiance, Fateshunt, and I think Quick Hit?
Also, Awoken–remember to doubleclick to show you’ve taken your turn
I just noticed omni’s aspect is VOIDWALKER :O
Oh, and Burn What holds you back
yeh i THINK sacrosanct would have protected him from the snipe
huh it shows the aspect?
It do.
yeh you gotta Manually Read The Card
Sacrosanct as a Grace is a hard counter to Snipe so have an Arete instead
ooh you can see it on always another option, okay
i thought i was blind and missing something at the top / hoverover text hahahah
awww ty mysterious watcher/rite meister
you ARE blind tho
hence!
Oh look, the God throwing a temper tantrum doesn’t understand us.
also yeah his Graces and Rites are Veiled <Grace/Rite> of the Voidwalker, with the Claw icon.
is Libra not displaying for anyone else?
I don’t think it’s supposed to. >.>
slash me LAUGHS
ꙮ :3c
WHAT A STRANGE SYMBOL ON THAT CARD, OH DRAGON MINE
… there’s a thing I’m missing here and I’m delighted/horrified to find out what it is
ꙮ Libra’s visibility status is working as intended.
yeah remember when he mentioned you could only target cards you knew…?
: “This page intentionally left blank”-ass… <3
hahahahahaha
I don’t know if ivory blood IMMEDIATELY grants defense, or just on card play, but everyone should have 1 more defense now
also Libra. dislike.
I have added my 1 defense. Thank
on card play, so it’ll proc when i take my turn yeah
scared to theorize what Libra is because I’m worried that whatever I say will be worse somehow and the Dragon will be like “yup it was that”
OH, it certainly already exists.
i’m gonna do a silly
But I’m sure talking about it…might tip the SCALES?
.
Oh yeah because the Dragon had to make a card about it. I’ll be real, I feel like I’m still growing in my appreciation for how much work has gone/is going into this because holy shit
The puns will continue in this chat, because CK is not a jokester
SPEAKING OF WHICH do we know etymology? like can I call this guy “Mr. Breaks Everything”
I have assumed that I do
: “do we know etymology” is an extremely funny roleplaying question. And also same
I’m pretty sure “Do we know etymology” is a question that’s been in every game I’ve played / ran
Uh. UH.
That’s a rude rite. I wish I had a steal card
(Also, not to make our own situation worse, but that draw card you just played is Quick)
Eyyyyy fuck yeah
- You hear — and your Star hears — a song, echoing from the stillness: Altan Arslan
I heard it this time! I dunno why!
Well fucking done
awesome
Hunter that’s such an incredibly fucking cinematic use of your character song. Way to set the bar high for the rest of us!
somehow feels thematically appropriate that the first time the music player worked for you was when another player triggered it instead
hahahah
Teak, you continue not to miss
Yeah this one fucking owns especially imo
I wanna know what the lyrics are. Because I know they mean something…’cause MINE did…
Yep!
mine did too
it’s Teak, did you think they wouldn’t mean something?
Oh I knew.
I do indeed have the lyrics for it In English
Was song in … some kind of Turkic language?
P sure that one’s mongolian, if we want to play the game
: “Arslan” is Persian, I think…
Turkish might be it
Aye, I’m wrong–it’s Turkish
I don’t remember
Multiple Turkish warlords named Arslan during the crusades
: “Arslan” is Old Turkish for “lion”, soooo…
Mongolian is closely related to Turkic, fwiw
Ooh, didn’t know
Fascinating. Just gonna drop that right there, eh?
O_O
alright I’m no longer gonna do something silly lol
An Alethic rite…?
Indeed.
something I’m already coming to deeply appreciate about this format for roleplaying games is that you can have side chatter/meta commentary about the decisions you make as your character, plus those characters doing their thing, and it can be simultaneous and also way less disruptive. Because this is awesome
Mmhmm! It’s one of the things I really love about play-by-text.
ah god now I gotta learn about another angle of existence
It’s also a lot easier for me to add, like…little character flairs and shit
As a terminal yapper I too appreciate this format
I hate that I like this asshole
ꙮ anyways remember when i slipped up and implied there were eight card frames
ꙮ pepperidge farms remembers
no one remembers that BECAUSE YOU DELETED THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION (thats where my arte came from tho lmao)
lol
ꙮ if i were clever and brave i would have a button that I could push that would magically swap every instance of the term in the UX to Alethic but instead I just have a code push ready to go lol
honestly close enough
i was not at all expecting to bust ANY of this out Session Two but the opportunity presented itself so well i had to lol
though a big red button would be satisfying
ꙮ :3c
Wolf - did you get your +2 Defense?
Yep, just did
sweet
Meanwhile, in the back of his head–though too focused to SAY it–Wolf’s going “ya idiots, HIT HIM, don’t worry about me”
worries
Oh yeah, Archie being quiet here is fully him going into battle trance mode
Archivist has gone, this is a new round.
He takes a stress for targeting me!
They just didn’t dim token
Yup, I was turn three in that round. It should be back up to Awoken, yeah?
ꙮ Oh lol
Same turn order for speed?
ꙮ Sure
yeh
Or does anyone need to jump?
Teak, giving his cast a bunch of A-name titles: Sowing
Teak, dealing with all the A-name titles he created: Reaping
same order is good with me
loll
I’m fine with same
yeah
ꙮ pfffhahahah that was PURELY me not remembering if everyone had had a chance to go and wanting everyone to before the next thing that I do >_>
: “next thing that I do”
:I
ꙮ innocent otter squeaks
Oh wait hang on - Awoken, are you okay with taking Stress from drawing your rites? My thing on my turn was going to remove that from you in case you don’t want it, not that it’s likely to matter
Saint - unphase your token, not that it likely matters, given what’s in captain douchecanoe’s hand
I mean, yeah, he’s got…“break reality” as a /card/…
ꙮ GREAT NEWS THE AWOKEN HAS IT TOO NOW
As One Does
YESSS
ꙮ i assume
WHAT
I find it interesting that “break reality” is a card that we already knew about! We didn’t have to wait for it to be played to see what it does
which has Implications
I mean… we DID have to arrive here
which then implies that we were similarly challenged to a Rite of the Dragon by the Architect because otherwise he wouldn’t have had a chance to play it against us
Awoken that’s such a fuckin cool move to even try
I am very glad you did the safe choice and had the fiend do it. But also, oh man
I am charmed by the fucking around and finding out, and also by the choice to use the fiend, yes
I have a bet, but I don’t want to say it and spoil the fun
I still had my main action but I’m okay with that triggering the reaction haha
I thinkit’s probably fine
yeah
I am also very okay with being mechanically goose-egged for being silly
the fucking baby sliver of purple for omniclast’s stress bar around his pod is sending me, on an unrelated note
unrelated, probably toggle your volume?
do we need to keep moving in turn order?
Is something playing? I don’t even see it in the interface
I assume something will be, based on how this is going
oh
yes i too see the name of Song Four In The Track List, lol
I love the Wolf-Priest just like “did not we all want to FIGHT? did not we all want to PUNCH THIS GUY?”
Listen, you don’t take your eyes off your opponent!
the omniclast, proudly, like a child who’s built a sandcastle “LOOK AT MY REALITY-HOLE”
Wolf hears…his World-Song?
It’s Archie’s turn to lose his mind a little bit
Knight, I am WHEEZING
:D
The Knight is old enough to know what children are like
I just love how like, genuinely meant that advice was
CK has a very specific motivation. It is going to be an adventure**
sanctuary SANCTUARY I have misspelled it twice now god pound it
words are a weird soup
Aurelius you cheeky fourth-wall-breaking motherfucker
Though if it was gonna happen of course it would be in the middle of the “break reality” spell
hahahaha
it also makes COMPLETE SENSE in the context of The Beast too!!
Complete the hand chain!
who isn’t holding a hand? I have one hand free!
ꙮ something something hold hands and jump into the abyss together
Hunter’s still doin’ his thing
yeeee
Awoken isn’t either
I’m playing a game of hand chicken with hunter
ꙮ [solemnly] gay
:D
I didn’t want to ruin the moment but since the OOC already said it
hhferhfgjruhguirhg
We good for me to lead the charge?
ꙮ Go for it
yeh
and then Knight lands on Wolf and me, and Almachadta is lost
…how I roll?
Press the desired die, spend arete if you have/wise, and click THUS
ꙮ Click on the liminal gnosis symbol (the one that’s the Discord server icon) and then hit THUS
Y’all know I didn’t have a prayer of MAKING that check, right?
- Unua? The Clockwork Knight invoked their 🌌liminal gnosis [d4] -> 3.
die could’ve exploded?
Was testing to see if text went THUS with die
WRONG you could have rolled 2 4s
It was extremely unlikely!
thats ok me and hachi probably gunna slap fight to make rolls in here anyway >_>
If bad things happen to us it’s not my fault!
yes it’s teakwoods!!!
Ain’t that the truth
15 Superannihilates? No sweat, the douchebag has like 60x that in HP
do you think that npc will have done their homework and thought up a name for themself before we get back……….
he mad
I tried to give him “Baker” and see if he went for it
We come back and they’ve all named themselves after different breads
Ill Allow It
Honestly that would be iconic
they a little confused but they got the spirit
It would make it easier to Challah at each other. Also to make Rye jokes.
…………………………………….
cackles
The real question is do they know how names are Spelt?
I can’t Wheat to find out
…I don’t need a spray bottle, I need a super soaker.
Inappropriate remark about your super soaker?
I was typing something up about “I don’t know how a creature with no concept of a ‘name’ would end up naming themselves, or what their concept of a name would be considering the six examples they had of it, but then realized it was more Carb Punning*
Hey now, don’t be sour(dough)
et tu, Pade?
these puns are a p.i.t.a.
Oh, no, you don’t understand.
I’m the worst punner in the server.
: eyebrow wiggles at Unua**
It’s true.
That’s why he was hoping for meat to go with the bread
Yaaaay thankoo Teakers
ꙮ oh my fucking god i came back to PUNS
I mean God
He’d be way wurst
ꙮ i love all of you
THANKJ YOU FOR RUNNING TEAKWOOD
Teak, that was fuckin baller
Thank you Teakwood!
How the fuck was this SESSION TWO
that sure went from 1 to 8 WAY faster than I was expecting
or “Tweakwood” as I initially typo’d
(positive, complimentary)
you did it you got us to do the omniclast’s bidding without having to drag us into it kicking and screaming
GM has a great sense of pacing is how
Tweakwood is when they’ve had too much coffee
ꙮ i have had SO MUCH of that session echoing in my skull fully formed for fucking YEARS lol holy fucking shit
I mean, Wolf fuckin’ hated the Architect’s attitude but he didn’t think he had a choice and now he does! Maybe it’ll kill him, but better than…that order.
yeah aurelius definitely was not vibing with the architect either lol
I privately told Teak earlier that my character was gonna have a moment of telling the team “Hey maybe we shouldn’t just automatically take the Architect at his word” but then I privately confirmed that the Architect would know and so I kept that as an inside thought
Teak, I understand why the car ride kicked this into high gear
: “Hahahaha, yeah”
Fuck yeah man
all of you fucking going into Settings and nicking up ruled btw
- Daina also Disliked the Architect but is apparently not a decision-maker, so I’m glad other people made that choice*
That was a blast to watch unfold, fuck yeah! <3
ope
How did you DO that?
ich habe keine ahnung
hahahah yeah how
:
* tests something?
Ich verstehe nicht ahnung
Nope that’s not it
We gotta work on troubleshooting my audio this week
i also laughed a lot at the libra stuff teak btw i just had to type a bunch of other shit at the time >_>
PAds - do you have Firefox? If so, I would be interested to see how the bug compares. might be useful data
there was a lot of Teakwood Bullshit happening. feel free to explain any or none of it
Also - if you change tabs, the music requires re-fiddling
hahaha
i was warned there would be references but was not prepared for how many and how varied………………………….. excited to slam face first into some i don’t have any context for
everything about this has been real good so far, eagerly looking forward to next week
: “Yeah there is something REALLY wrong with the auto-mute, I’ve identified some problems that may in fact just Be The Problems Padfoot Is Experiencing, I’ll poke around at it.”
ngl, when I saw Libra, I immediately attempted to see if I could acquire it via shenanigans in the deck menu
hahah
: “the problem with shit you have no context for is you’ve been in every single one of my goddamn games lol”
I figured that at least some enemies would have unique cards and to have that suspicion confirmed so spectacularly in session two is fucking incredible. Also I’m still hung up on the implications of that we may have gotten to the Sanctuary in the first place via Rite
…did that just happen to anyone else?
Yup
teak did you push the code
: “Out of mild curiosity did anyone just now TRY something in any way unusual”
Server error?
push the code teak
Oh that wasn’t you, then?
I was literally doin’ nothing
Same
same
Uh I was logging in on mobile?
I think i skipped… one…? there’s def been some campaigns you were in i wasn’t at least, and also given how thick the weave is i assume there’s a fair bit of Non-Campaign references spread around too
timestamp 11:05
But that doesn’t seem right
: “That was a complete server crash lol”
oh huh
: “Which like, the fact that ‘complete server crash’ is ‘minor blip and maybe an eaten post’ is pretty cool imo but still oughtn’t be happening.”
squint
teak was my theme ALWAYS on the list and i somehow just never noticed it or did you add it on the sly when you played it
Teak, your REDACTED is still REDACTED in codex entries
It was on there
ALETHIC DICE, huh…?
how fuckin’ weird
I Guess I Know What All The Random Language Song Titles Are Now, Probably
Altan Arslan was always on the list, yeah
dice dice
I’m not taking a knife to my dice
makes perfect sense vs the other stuff hachi!!
Alethic dice are simply reverse Schrodinger dice. The more you observe them, the dicier they are
I see
site will flicker in a few minutes
yeah yeah it makes perfect sense but I’m trying to make perfect sense of the knock-on-third-order-sense
that was a fun word to look up however many months ago without context and go “HUH” at tho lol
YEP
flips both of you upside down
: “Also Ice you should have known that word already :3”
i said however many months ago for a reason!!
oh lmfao I was getting my etymology wrong
wow. what a teakwood concept.
vjgfuhbduohdfoiujhoi
unless you’ve used it before even that, in which case, IN MY DEFENSE i need to FREQUENTLY look up MANY words when you jump into the purple prose pool and do not always rememeber them for long
I simply steal Teakisms like a magpie and then become increasingly incomprehensible to others
haha
hachi does that word ring any bells for YOU
(it looks too much like Aleith for me to parse it as anything else……….)
ALEITH DICE, eh…?
actually hilariously i think the place it had the most chance of popping up anywhere else would have been in ZG
unless it was an 11 campaign thing in which case i have to restart the above AND add on the Raine Filter
restate
do you remember the Interloper’s true name
uhhhHHHHH
(it was Aletheia)
which one was the interloper, the middle one? i don’t think it was sophia
oooooh
lmao the Interloper was the fucking Big Bad you gigantic goofus
yeah no i mean uh
to be fair to ice
Vera / Interloper / Sophia
there were a LOT of A names
wrt The Middle One
with vera being the younger and sophia the older
… wait. there were two people named truth and then … wisdom?
It Was Complicated
i don’t think we saw the interloper’s name for more than one or two sessions tho so i definitely did not remember, BUT NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT it is kinda coming back
(doubly so since like with the Raine Filter Leilani was goin’ on a fucking tirade and not really listing to anything they said………………………………. >_> )
multiple states of being, time loops, it was an epistemic boondoggle
like i couldn’t entirely tell you what happened at the end, exactly, but i DO remember i basically yelled at the final boss long enough that we skipped the fight lmao
‘do you feel bad now’ ‘im starting to :(‘ “GOOD”
loooool
