“Pulsing with flourishing YA novel supertext” is going a Little Far

Though I think the Awoken is allowed to feel rather smooth, yes

: “Well, I wouldn’t call it pellucid YA novel supertext.”

dohoho

Come on we are AT LEAST in the New Adult genre

lmao

: “You Know What You Did” lmaoooo

i am NOT using the map Responsibly

objection: i absolutely built it to enable shitposts

lol

is it saturday yet :(

alas it’s even further out than the LAST time you asked, somehow

wtf???? mods

wait shit.

R I P

can confirm, map is for shitposts

sometimes also for other things

: “Could someone who is currently online please post something random in their backchannel and then post here when they have done so? Thank you!”

Excellent thank you

done

lmao if you tab into stillness after someone did a lot of lines on the map

they’re still visibvle on screen

was breifly horrieied popping over here and seeing red strikethrough and then realized what was going on

also back channel

also all the lines Teo added seem to be gone now after refreshing to fix the phantom lines in chat??? huh

wtf???? why did that happen

ugh

the needing to refresh to make the lines go away is a known issue though lol

Oh I took the lines away

why are your interactions with the rumor map fucking cursed, ice :(

o thank G-d

I decided I would not canonize your love triangle

oh okaylol

I hadn’t got a chance to look at it since i was catching a ride to the grocery store due to rain and wasn’t sure if it was a Bug or just So Shit Posty You Removed It lol

def the latter :D

gahahhahahahaha

: machinegun noises**

I do love that the Awoken has a yandere techne

I should have made it burning but I tied it to fate so I was like “let’s do the WEIRD element”

do you not have a way to delete the test archive btw but also lol

currently the “delete archive” functionality is broken and I haven’t been arsed to fix it yet lol

rip

man the UI on this is REAL GOOD on my insanely tall vertical monitor

definitely can’t be assed to move this into the office tho lol

hey teak you wanna hear about a Funny UX Quirk the program has, which isn’t actually something you need to fix but IS Very Dumb?

if you RESIZE THE WINDOW, chat backlog moves UP instead of staying at the bottom

hahahah that makes sense that that’s happening

squint

teakwood how in the world did you get the program to remember what i was typing in a box but didn’t send even after entirely shutting the browser down and if you can do THAT does it mean you could, theoretically, get notifications to track when we don’t have it open too???

:3c

those are two completely distinct problems actually but i COULD in fact get notifs to track when you don’t have the browser open

was definitely kinda funny getting jumpscared by a passing thought I decided not to voice the other day tho lol

loool

(3290) New Messages, lmao

3290!

HIGH SCORE

JUMPSCARE MUSIC

I almost played some last night when we had 7 people in here haha

as one does

it’s real funny when you’re trying to remember what one song sounded like exactly at 2 in the morning and cue it up and then teak pops out of no where and goes :D :D :D

it’s real cool how there’s only one language in sanctuary and we have definitely not heard any others anywhere at any point, relatedly, huh

wait how did you clear the buffer i could of sworn it said you had 2/3 more queued

or did it just take a moment to get going

nerds <3

I’m not sure?

wait what happened?

I think all the songs I queued played?

yeah I think there was just a delay but the way it displayed was kinda weird.

when I popped in one was playing and it said three more were in the queue, and then when the song finish it said 0 were in the queue. but after a small period of time after each song ended another one started playing correctly??? and it did play 3 more, so

i should put in a log of what songs played when a) so that if there ARE bugs they’re easier to track and b) so that I can have a sense of satisfaction at people playing the OST even if I’m not around to notice and weasel war dance about it

haha

Honestly I think how you had it originally when it was posting notifications was probably fine???? other than it uh. posting them to archived scenes, that was not so fine

and potentially confusing down the line

That’s a completely orthogonal mechanism, that’s a button I can push, while a song is playing, haha

aaah

(it signifies “this is the first time this song has been played” or, hypothetically, “it is metaphysically important that this song is playing a second time”.)

but yeah seeing as how their diagetic anyway, a note about it in the log could be cool

nod

Maybe briefly?

It did that for me, yeah

It did

which lmfao Very In-Character of it

I don’t know if it’s because I queued it? I had to shut my laptop and reopen it because the screen was malfunctioning hooked up to my monitor

: “What’d I do. :(”

: “it’s something that bubbles up from the black depths of the Beast” <- there’s a giant monster at the center of the beast and you get its earwax. done and done

Also I bugged Teak and the scene that I wanted to do is something people can come along on if they’d be curious enough to do so. I imagine chronologically it would happen AFTER whenever Aurelius and his fiendcraft happens, but assuming Aurelius doesn’t set the entire world on fire I don’t see why it can’t be played through out of order

lol

no promises

promises!!!

how is clockwork knight so cute and Teo himself so pain-causing? I am still smarting from the pun fest earlier

slash me bows

I’m secretly not-evil, but I have a responsibility

The Sword Saint knows. Everyone has a part to paly

play

some parts are … worse

Server villain!

You’re not a villain, you’re a heel there’s a difference.

SER VER VILL AIN

But, yes, that’s mostly correct

WHIPLASH god clockwork knight is so cute

Now I need to 3-d print a little clockwork knight with a bird

Well in that case

Now I need two

well pads, teo, teak, do we all want to meet hachi’s bunny or just say we get our fabric made into fashionable cloaks?

I’m good either way. It could be funny?

I mean, I’m always up for more fun times!

let’s go to the bunny tailor then

Sounds good. Gonna go grab a quick drink first, feel free ot kick it off

they are the BEST and so sweet, you will also fall in love

The Robot is base-mom

This is my job when we play minecraft too

adorableeeeeeeeeeee

so say we all

fuuuuuck T-T

ready

GRAPPLESNAKE

Is a GRAPPLESNAKE a reptile that eats fruit hybrids?

Until I run out of lore bits?

(also I am still vibing with you guys I just don’t have anything to contribute slash I am still having Emotions about Wolf quietly over here)

hell yeah vibes. Just checking a teakquery first

lmao

hahah

uggggh trash product and now I have inkfingers

brb

: “the noise you make when you taste something and it was NOT what you were expecting”

laughing irl fyi

What were we gonnamake me? A cloak? A coat?

Tabard?

I was thinking a cloak but it’s up to you!

Do I do the funniest thing?

And tell the vendor it’s so I am less noticeable?

omfg

idk

face whichever way your heart tells you, and believe

My heart tells me I’m old and tired

then say it’s to keep the draft of the breeze off these old bones

Oh no, that was Reibello, not Unua

o

The current struggle is “Reibello is a troll, Unua is not. I cannot make every joke I think of in the IC chat.”

but unua can be earnest and indulge reibello’s troll-habits

: “fastball heater straight down the middle” has never steered me wrong

similarly, Daina is Not A Hugger but Kay is and pads almost killed me with the desire to Hug

I am starting to distrust Hachi’s advice.

just stating. you know. for the record

hahahaha

Fun fact! When you click on a profile pic to embiggen it, it briefly moves the chat in the background, and then returns it when you close the profile picture. It’s a cheaty way to scroll up quick.

damn that’d be one sharp behemoth

Unua thinking, No, we definitely don’t clothe behemoths on the beast

lol

hell yeah

Isn’t Archie much shorter than the rest of us?

when I asked, Kuz said something like 5’10“ or 5’7” lemme find it

5’7“*

I’ll edit

oh okay. I had assumed Archie was like, a foot shorter than that

Beeg Otter

we all ruffle down here

… I just mistyped “cockwork knight” and now you all have to know that too

It was only a matter of time

ANYWAY clockwork knight in a stiff elizabethan collar go

oh so THAT was the metal thingy that extends

yeah I was … also thinking that

Imagine constantly sending invites to a game called Blood on the Clocktower and how I’ve definitely NEVER made a typo

THE PUNS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Also, obligatory “You fool”

morale is opposite of improving

morale is declining

hahhahahaa

You wish I would be declining to make these puns

But I’m not so inclined to die on this hill. Maybe I’ll break for now

Alright, I think that’s a good pause point. It’s late and I should head bedwards

OH thank you I was wondering

rest well! thank you for Wolf <3

buenas noches

goodnight!!!!

And scene?

yeah I think so

Teak, do you want to do that solo scene? Or do you have other commitments? and Reibello, would you like to come along?

I will likely not come along, as I will be headed to bed shortly as well. Just making poor decisions since I’m off work this week. Gotta maximize time with full brainpower before the children steal it all.

I’ll be Elsewhere for a bit though

Do you have kids or are these just the children that you teach?

just teaching

I cannot imagine being a parent

Teakwood

was that

FRENCH I SAW

gahahahahahahaa

but not their ass hair

Reibello what’s your favorite language?

in what context?

I like many things about many languages

hm. of the ones you know, which one is your favorite to work with. of the ones you don’t know, which would you most like to learn. of any of them, which one do you like the sound of?

I like English’s unrivale bastardization. I like how Spanish _feels My favorite little Spanish tidbit is that things aren’t your fault, linguistically. Instead of “I dropped it” it’s “It fell from me.” I love French and all of it’s overloaded vowel sounds. I don’t know what my favorite French thing is right now. But I am glad to be teaching it again - it was missing. German is ridiculous and I love stacking all the words together but the past tense can GO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE WHY CANT YOU HAVE RULES, DAMMIT. Japanese is fun and difficult and I don’t understand a lot of things yet. I should really get back to studying it. Japanese grammar sometimes makes more sense to be because of Spanish. I would have loved to have the time to learn Arabic. That shit’s hard though.

I like doing different things in different languages? I miss fancy grammar in all of them - I teach Level 1

Like, the subjunctive is so much fun in Spanish

the subjunctive is so much fun!

I love that “hope” is a subjunctive trigger in spanish, but not in french

OH that’s fascinating actually

right>!

I wonder why it’s different too, since they proceed from the same linguistic parent.

At some point, the French just decided to believe in themselves more

I also like that the French took their Preterit tense out back and shot it / consigned it to use in highbrow literature only

Everything is just “Have done” instead of “did”

oh that’s also really interesting

J’espere que, but they use Inshallah

there’s a grave on that middle e

oh here’s a question: is “role” a loan word from French and is there a reason why so many fancy older academics put a circumflex over the O?

Also, the spanish verb for “hope” is also the verb for “wait”

It is! The French word has a circumflex, but I’m not sure why. Sometimes circumflexes are for “there was a letter here, once” and sometimes they’re for vibes?

Like hopital, hotel, foret, have circs on the O, indicating a dropped S

yeah I remember the dropped s in those but “rosle”?

: “rsole”

OH

oh - fun overlap. Spanish has three demarcations of this and that,just like japanese does, but French just has the two

Este/ese/aqeul lines up with kono/sono/ano

I agree

hic/iste/ille

oh that’s fun

if you take the first two there

You accidentally get the Spanish word for “You did”

I love a good coincidence

huh

oh more fun facts! (Tell me if I should stop)

NO I LOVE THIS

There is no verb in Spanish for “To like” instead you have the verb “To be pleasing to” and you have to USE INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS AND HOPE THE CHILDREN WILL STOP ASKING WHY

it kind of cracks me up that “iste” (that (of yours)) and the spanish “este” is “this”

Instead of “I like apples” you get “Apples are pleasing to me.”

huh. do you know why there’s so much passive voice in spanish?

Same reason why “It falls from me” instead of “I dropped it” - I’m not sure how they culturally arrived at it

Same thing with “to miss” - it’s secretly the verb “To be lacking to”, unless you’re lazy and use the verb “to be foreign to”

my advisor once told me that all romance languages are “just bad Latin” and sometimes I remember that and I laugh about it (he was taking the piss a little; he does that)

not completely wrong tho

Why does French still have initial H’s in words? LATIN

:)

ipsa lingua optima

Even better, there are a handful of words where the H is still silent, but instead of l’hotel you get a full stop and it’s le hockey

and it’s not just loan words

l’homme, but le homard

: “le hockey”

NADA

THATS MY JOKE

I love that joke

Hey teak

what is the joke?

Qu’est ce que c’est la meilleure chose pour un boulanger?

C’est de faire des eclairs pendant l’orage!

The Spanish joke was “What does a fish do?” and the answer is NADA (Nothing! / It swims)

My joke is “what the best thing for a baker?” “To be making eclairs in a storm” (eclair is also the word for lightning)

kl;dfajskdl;fsaj;f

lmao

Teak, qu’estceque la meilleure chose pour un juge?

okay I actually was able to get … 60% of the French one but not the actual joke

ah ah ah en francais

C’est de manger des avocats pour le petit dejeuner!

(What is the best thing for a judge? To eat avocados/lawyers for breakfast!)

I mean, to be a real….Devil’s Advocate….we got close

is “chose” just “thing”?

yeah. I’m actually down-leveling thr French there

The line is usually “C’est quoi le comble pour un juge” which literally translates to “What is the highest (think like what is ”peak“) for a judge:*

More reasons Teak secretly loves French. There are four versions of “to bring” Two for whether you are bringing a being or an object. Two for directionality (Bring to / Bring from)

ok i am Making A Food but here now

Welcome!

ice ice ice

Here, have your song

hearing that randomly blare out of my speakers when we were playing a game was briefly very confusing earlier btw

my bad

the perils of idling in sanctuary

im not even sure the other two noticed it’s not even a Thing

but yeah I Chose That Risk

also idk if it was a different fix you did or the offline notifis BUT i see when a new channel gets the first message now, huzzah

: “Yeah that was a separate fix and then once I was in there I was like….. maybe the way I am doing notifications is silly and bad….”

HMM tabbing to a different channel moves you to the bottom of backscroll

yeah i definitely cannot be arsed to try and position you in the scroll correctly based on last mess……. ugh i mean i COULD

realistically it’s probably not TOO important

functionally speaking i’ll archive the scene and then it won’t matter

ye

lolf

Coward?

all in due time

no, coward

Also Altan Arslan needs to be longer. All the songs need to be longer. 10 minute runtime minimum. I’m just getting into the vibe and then it ends.

10 hour youtube OST playlist when

teakwood about to enter his prog metal era

I would listen to at least an hour of Altan Arslan

agree

it’s my favorite thus far, though there are other strong contenders

well that sure was a server crash

Guys, I figured out which planes have how many songs

I need to sleep

yeh they’re sorted together haha

It does!

I will be AFK for a few minutes shitty cat just … ripped open a bag of rice all over our apartment and have to clean it up

oh very no

D:

gently pokes the internet

hi

we’re almost done cleaning up I’m so sorry

no worries! either my internet or fly.io was having a weird situation, is all

also dragon’s choice but I can multitask if we want to also run Ice’s fiend summoning scene

I can also wait and finish what I’m working on with Teak later since we’re both heinous night owls

whatever y’all are comfortable with

fun fact i actually go to sleep after teak does (hachi usually not so much tho)

Hachi are you gonna be up stupid late? Ice and I will both be awake until God-loves-it-not thirty, I’m sure

I mean I would like to go to bed before 5 AM…

I actually have a phone interview at 10 haha

other than that I have no obligations

:o

Saint if you’re OK with it we can run our scene after the Saint/Awoken/Hunter scene? That’d be fine with me if it’s fine with you

I usually go to sleep after Teak does too (unless I’m an Adult and manage to observe my 2am bedtime) but also sometimes crash earlier

yep! fine with me

also P H O N E I N T E R V I E W

congrats!

fjaslkdfjalsdjl;asjdlas;dfj;las that scene title

oh that text does NOT wrap in a well-behaved way, I don’t think. that’s good to know

looks fine to me!

it looks fine to me?

oh nvm i’m full of shit

well, yes

haha <3

a cartogrix to put in your sylladex

gotta craft ‘em all

shoulda picked up some grift too

grist?

I’m homestucking

yes I did pick up on that! it’s grist, though, right? as in grist-for-the-mill? or is it grift? because if it is that’s funny.

hahaha

My internet just very conveniently shat itself, attempting to ascertain why

OOPS I did not realize I typo’d

ope we’re back, thank christ

i icetyped

you did????

you read it as ‘grist’ didn’t you

oh in here, no i did read it as grift but failed to parse it either way haha

gri(calculus bullshit)t

sklfjsa;ldfj

I like “icetyped” for typo

haha

man what the fuck is UP with my internet today

dragon, do literally ANY of us have a concept of “puff pastry”

me

that also happened to me too, but it was really mild

almachadta ABSOLUTELY has baklava

pipes ‘re clogged

we got The Baked Goods

but who has croissants?

and yessssss baklava

lmao aurelius that’s MY line

i gotchu

if aurelius catfaces I am collapsing reality

hahahaha

I said someday ice is going to catch teak in a typo and then the yellowstone caldera is going to erupt and kill us all

:3

hahahaha

.

oh, to know what’s happening in the IcedTeak backchannel

nothing (because i had a PLAN that was written IN ADVANCE)

D:

not putting this in the IC chat but “what is … blackrom?”

lmao

IS the sanctuary actually on the rumor map and I’m not seeing it?

yeah same question

Restarting my router Jesus fucking Christ

:(

oh right there’s a handful of things on the wiki that didn’t make it onto the map,

awoken was totally going to say, “she thinks you look like a lunkhead!”

D:

I don’t understand how the fuck this is even possible, my tenants WiFi isn’t working either**

wild

oh no :(

what in the world

is there an outage in your area?

aha gottem

or not :(

reads his own entry, ‘He’s just a weird lil’ guy’ “hey! >:(”

cackling manically at people being able to see “The Hunter Definitely Will Not Accidentally Delete Their Entry A Fourth Time” IC now

Legitimately haven’t been this monstrously upset in a really long time, just spent 15 minutes on hold with my ISP and the fucking call disconnected on me

oof :(

oh geeze :(

This was not a scene I wanted to not be HERE for god damn it

not sure what’s all wrong with your next, but strangepath does seem to be working just fine on our end at least?

This is why I don’t host servers on Shadowhunter lol :( ugh fucking. Ugh downdetector says there’s an outage in my area

oh are you on your phone now?

Wonder if I can stand to read backscroll on my phone lol

Yeah I still have phone connectivity

on the bright side you DID get that phone UI up and running…! :D?

Won’t let me use it as a hotspot because Apple is trash

rip

major rip

that one really WASN’T me!

lol got through to my ISP and absolutely nothing is wrong with my connection and they can see my router from their end and just mysteriously the internet is dead and they have no information as to why, so that’s cool. On the bright side backscroll was wild

o_O

Awoken is adorable

He’s Just A Weird Lil Guy

OH

teak we know there SHOULD be a constellation called The Empty that’s usually listed with the others, not unlike zodiacs etc right?

It is widely known that there is a /hole where a constellation would go/ in every cultural recognition of the constellations; it’s not strictly called the Empty Space though, treat the rumor map as canon and available information

And I’d love to be able to fucking check everything over to make absolutely sure I’m not fucking myself saying that but unfortunately I cannot

nod. Was trying to think about how best to Address The Lack of The Empty

Anyways enjoying the scene instead of being grumpy lol

pets aggressively

also god i’m gunna hand this to archie at the start of the session and he’s gunna [Intensifies] so hard he gets airlift isn’t he

Gonna make myself a mug sized cakelet as consolation :<

Loooooooll. Yes.

YESSSS good

oh no archie explodes

otter.exe has encountered an error and needs to shut down

Hachi <3

sophia loves us, and wants us to live. nod**

FUCK

THE DRAGON ISN’T ON HERE EITHER

Correct.

Get Fucked, Buddy :)

please they hook me up with a 1.0 Edition Of The Guide instead of this much, much prettier v2.0

(blackrom)

lol

♠️

:O!

aurelius is really good at conveying Really Specific Expressions on his face, somehow

Please have fun trying to figure out exactly what subtle text changes I made to the rumor map versions of everything btw

:D

It’s fun because they’re both longer but also missing some Key Things too

I’m really not beating the allegations here orz

None of us are ever beating any of the allegations, it’s fine

i am a Tiny Sad i dont get to cheat and see everyone’s Character Select Intro Blurb tho :(

I wanted to do rumor map versions of all of them but I didn’t get around to it and that cockteased you so in retrospect I’m happy about it

lmao

so much flirting in the ooc chat

As is tradition

insane the Beast doesn’t actually mention the Fiend Engine on the wiki either

hahahaha

Hachi just rewiring my brain and my character’s brain and then pops in here to go hahahaha and something about that feels unfair

I love the Awoken so much ;_;

lmao

Looool

<3

I love all these nerds

I’m throwing up first Aurelius was like Unreasonably Cool and then Awoken just fucking. Fuck.

Want to write a new track just to title it “a righteous god beast or a bizarre little gremlin”

i haven’t even GOTTEN to the second project yet!

haha

gahahahaha

can we do the second project if our dragon is stuck in mobile purgatory?

i THINK so

laffs seem to be improving mood

and i don’t plan on getting dumb enough with it that it’ll take a lot of intervention (just a lil)

awoken is Weak to Sincerity

time to make like on the Beast and weaponize Sincerity

if you weaponize it, it will only be a weapon!!

Daina is weak to … well a whole world of things as she’s Just Now Finding Out

using to telling the stories and acting the lines in the plays and singing the songs, not so much being the one it’s about i reckon

:) sometimes people pour too much of themselves into their roles and kind of forget to maintain themselves as a human

not saying she’s done that or anything :)

:)

she’s super normal and fine :)

:)

WHO’S COMPLILING A LIST OF MY WEAKNESSES

: :)**

put my strengths on there too god pound it!!! (namely: “everything,” “amazing hair”)

that one was me

I KNOW IT WAS YOU

BUT THE FIRST ONE WASN’T

someone ADJACENT to you then (TEAK WOOD)

i will pull the server logs so help me

Does Seem Likely

What did I do?

put “He’s Just a Weird Lil Guy” in the Awoken entry

I added strengths for you, hachi

<3

haha

: “like if a planet was no longer called a planet but you’d still say ‘this was once a planet’ ” wait fuck that explanation doesn’t work in this world…

I mean we still have the constellations they just manifest Weirdly iirc

Suspiciously Patternless Part Of The Pattern

Pffffffffffff

also the hunter’s entry has also been updated accordingly, and the awoken’s received further updates

I can’t like ice have all the honor of posting on the map

hell yeah

: let*

hahahah <3

they are great updates

thank you. I bring a “please clap” energy to the game

Mobile rumor map is an omnishambles nobody better edit those changes until I get internet back lol

oh they aren’t shitposts they’re there to stay

Excellent

yeah

my keyboard does not have a delete key

WE’RE BACK BITCHESSSS TIME TO READ THE RUMOR MAP BEFORE MY INTERNET DIES AGAIN

OK Doing The Second Thing Teak

oh hell yeah just in time for you to have a keyboard again :D :D :D

oboy

oboe

there nothing in the rule book that says a dog fox can’t make a skill check twice, though it DOES feel like a faux pas

OH SHIT IT HAPPENIN

ma’am

SHE EXPLODIN

did we just open your third eye on accident

ill take it

oisdfjlkasdjflk;asjdl;kasdj

what do?

roll again

ah yes ascend and roll

444…………………………………………………………

look she’s been watching you two bronod at each other going “yeah, checks out” while being like “what the fuuuuck” she deserves the break

you wouldn’t understand, you can’t See Forever

oh wait do i get another Reality Glitch for that forced explosion btw?

I have something in the chamber but I’m waiting to see what’s up first

what the mcfuck was that last thing

it was peak

&c

oh it

it did NOT look like one in that font lmao

gahahahha

it’s an abbreviation for et cetera

the ampersand is actually the latin “et” stylized into one symbol

(“et” being “and”)

sorry i dont speak 1600 billhilly mountain monk, only post 1800s printing press

&c. == etc == et cetera

ice when do you think they invented the printing press?

oh shit that is a good ampersand

it looks like the side profile of a character with a long snout sticking out their tongue and laughing

i don’t remember when they invented it but i’m pretty sure there abouts is when they standardized and fucked with it into the version we mostly still use now?????

yeah checks out

next we’re gonna get “oh yeah this word has been spelled like this… in the 1300s :OOOOOO”

MR. THOU TELL US ABOUT HOW OLDE ISN’T ACTUALLY A WORD

you could make up any ol’ number and I’d be like “yup, teak’s right”

okay yeah that’s right I just. Monks were using the printing press in the 1600s too :P

though “1600 billhilly mountain monk” is gr8

aww yeah score one for barely remembered factoids

hahahaha

UUGHH I CAN’T USE RED TEXT OR PURPLE TEXT

oh no you have to settle for being able to reach into metareality

in an ideal world i’d be able to say ‘yup this is the truth that burns, baby’ and it would properly be purple or red, or, in a PERFECT world, covered in animated flames

but this bitch is oppressing me

does teh metahuman bird person have wings coming out the back or are their arms also wings

out of the back!

the truth that birds

hahahahahahaha

t h e t r u t h t h a t b i r d s

omg the edited font

I’m turning into a pumpkin in like 30 minutes probably

it’s probably best i use the One Weird Trick For Lowering Liminal DCs at a later point and not Right Now yeah haha

yeah I actually do have SOME responsibilities tomorrow and I CAN sleep in but.

: “several reasons”

(it did feel like a good time to establish the totem tho and i can say generating it was the second glitch :E)

(daina’s profile has ALSO been updated if you haven’t seen)

!!!!!

also lmao. lmfao. nicely done.

a fox-eared-and-tailed hunter with a metahuman bird tulpa

Concentrated Green Gnosis was NOT expected

:)

yeah things were poppin’ off

I have no idea what I’m doing and sometimes that leads to things being fun

hell yeah I did

that’s the spirit!

so much arete

I should probably use that for … something

i know what my next techne is :)

idk if three is enough tho lol

I have one more line I’d like to drop but I’m just checking to see if we’re leaving the grove yet (he isn’t leaving alone)

yeah aurelius is Done and Needs A Few tbqh and is definitely noticably less Chatty after the connection

I can pause and pick this up tomorrow if we want to get another summoning out of the way, or we can wrap up the scene and the other summon can just happen in the background

okay cool

yeah homeboy deserves some Time and Space holy shit

Those were the only two things I really wanted to do! The was a theoretical worlds where I attempted the second thing twice, with the totem, since part of this was ALSO me trying to force a reality glitch for the guide but i got that instantly so lol

he is very hot when he is summoning

oh yeah the floaty fiend is Preparing For Emergencies and not something he was actually planning on making now

(where as it’s never to early to Start Filling In Your Map)

I LITERALLY JUST FLIPPED OVER AND SAID “fuck. hachi.” several times

teakwood punchin’ at the air

<3

fuck, Great Hair IS on the sheet, i guess i legally can’t bar you from flagrant acts of public tsundere

gonna have to add “hip jut” at this rate

devil emoji

: Awoken will now respond to just about any name they call him.*

Sword-Saint will now fight God(s) for them.

please looking forward to someone going ‘why in the heck are all three of yours entries so much more… robust’

looking forward to Many Reactions honestly

late night sanctuary sickos go

haha

tbf even I am somewhat surprised at the levels of manic pixie voidboi I am pulling out of nowhere

and then it bounces off of everyone else

: “manic pixie voidboi”

playin’ as The Awoken in by next ball x pit run

… wait

fuck. oh my god I just realized we haven’t. even had a session. between the marketplace scene and this.

what the hell.

:3

also GEE VALIS, why does YOUR mom let you have TWO overseers

this is a wild true-to-form representation of what our wildest days/week were like btw

we’re going to be like. fucking married by the time we get to the third location

ah just in time to register a new Clan

slkda;fjals;dfjal;sdfjla;sdjf;asdjflk;

god that was a great joke it works for either location

ALSO HA HA HA REAL FUNNY TIMING

ON THE WHOLE ‘WHAT D&D CLASS’ ‘WAIT HEXBLADE???’ -> MAXIMUM GREEN RESULT THING

anyway,

the best part is you don’t even know what all I found out

it involved Teak using the word “rhizome”

oh that’s a good point i wonder how much translating the connection did

i saw a Very Specific Word which i assumed you saw, but am now unsure

If Aurelius asks Daina is likely to tell him, for whatever it’s worth

oh no doubt

god i’m actually kind of curious if it attempted to parse a specific concept he sent back deliberately but i probably shouldn’t know OOC for my own good either lol

It ripped my heart out like. Emotionally.

That’s all I’ll say.

hahahah

but how and why……………………………………………

oh fuck I know what he did I think, lol, lmao

howlin’ at how retroactively funny ‘safely distant, and distantly safe’ was for the title btw

btw,

pls count the ratio of teakmessages that are just catfaces in the past 30 or so posts it is. unholy

did the Four Notes sound familiar……..

haha

oh fuck he pulled out the =), the catface was all fun and games but now we’re serious

sjkdflsk;df

: “You hear… four notes? Four notes of a melody. One low, and then two high on the same note, then one on the low” okay would you say the interval on the first and second note was major or minor?

i interpreted that as ‘note, same note an octave higher twice, original octave’ fwiw

possibly octave lower than the original for the last

OOOH I thought “one low then two of the same note high”

aha

major or minor?

I was going to be like “you are not going to tell me that you are that good at composition and had that much music theory and can’t–” and then I realized of course you can, and of course you would.

easily believable, idk if i could tell you a damn thing about chords and keys despite being able to read/play music myself haha

tho teak’s a piano player so a bit more eyebrow raising

I just was ass at the “hearing notes” part of music theory and even I can usually hear intervals, but then I remember that teak’s brain spits out things fully formed and doesn’t break things down into component parts super well

when “explaining your thought process is exegesis”

WE SHOULD ALL GO TO SLEEP

bed time’s not for another hour tho

Assuming you are somewhere in the continental united states it is, at best, like 3 am

yup

it is 5 for me. it is 6 for Teak

I don’t want to sleep I want to keep yapping but also

oh yeah teaks dumb no argument there

no idea how they work a day job while going to bed when they usually do tbh

i however do not wake up until 11 tho so 4am sleeps

I think “absurd amounts of coffee” is the answer for Teak

I can’t even argue with 4am sleeps since 2-4am is my bedtime window unless I have early classes the next day

carry on then, Icecylee

night!

well I still … need to take a shower lmao. I am trying to convince myself to do this.

gggggg. im just planning on watching something and then passing out really myself

yap yap yap

Aaaagh I’m so sorry I missed that scene but I needed sleep…. T_T

MUSIC JUMPSCARE

aw I missed it who played what. i really need to put a log of music being played just for my own satisfaction lol

reibello playing altan arslan

site’s gonna reload in a second, I wonder what that’ll do to the song playing haha

or it could be choking to death pushing the change live….? what in the fuck

The jumpscares will continue until I learn the lyrics

eyyyy it worked

it’s funny how much this sounds like a fucking Early FF Boss Theme (Dance Club Remix)

[wiggles intensely at successfully having gotten the vibe right]

teakwood is synthesizing prog rock uematsu and nier language-wailing okabe

Christ, I almost shift changed y’all this morning.

lol hi

you practically did

yeah

I got a whole-ass 5 hours of sleep (no regrets)

(and I feel great)

I gave Ice crap about going to sleep then stayed up until 8am just staring at the wall and vibrating

oh you

hahahahaha

I’m too old to be staying up like that.

i went to bed exactly when i intended and woke up when intended, this is the true power of the Adult

I mean that is not untrue of me either

I am too old to be doing this and I do it anyway

When You Know Something Is A Terrible Idea,

fun fact! music player works on mobile and altan arslan is even hotter when it’s like right in your ear

This is correct.

Okay, cool, have that recorded so I don’t have to spam Elsewhere now

lol i WILL give out copies of specific tracks on request

you could

keep spamming elsewhere

I mean sure.

Mongolian hard.

Smartly I remembered to close this browser for a telehealth session because can you Imagine just getting Altan Arslan when I’m in therapy

hahahah

dkfjdkjfggk

Lolllll

Therapist “Why did you start headbanging?”

still fucking cracking myself up about “Those that bestow upon you strange and wondrous esoteric gifts when you brush up against the cracks in reality…?” despite being the one that said it

it was an excellent line

i surprised myself with the speed at which i typed it out immediately without thinking ngl lol

was not ready for the question but apparently had an answer queued up somehow

: “It be like that sometimes.”

Volleyball hype warmup complete

<3

why are all of my bones so bad at being bones :(

jfhjgktgfjthj oh my god Awoken lol <3

not enough jelly in da bones

<3

…is the Awoken humming the melody to the song currently playing?!**

Good to know!

Wolf nearly just doing an anime-style face-fault at that…

love it

SEVERAL DAYS LATER… trombone glissando**

Okay, now I gotta decide which song I’m going to rip off…

well, no wrong answers, right?

face whichever your way heart tells you, and believe

Actually, I’m going to do something…

…bugger. Oh well.

now there’s REALLY no wrong answer

I’m so sorry, I don’t mean for him to always be sad! >.<

oh shit someone else talking in a different language….. :OOO

all the awoken’s chaos energy reined in for a sec

are you legally allowed to repeat the narrator

:3c

hachi ‘oh thank god i finally got to a point where they believe me when i said i dont know shit’

also hachi, immediately making me reconsider that

gotta keep you on your toes, ice, can’t have you thinking you know everything just yet

:)

yeh

Yeah, dinner and such is a good idea

hell yeah

Take A Snaction And Stay Hydrated.

hahahaha I like “snaction”

It’s a snack! It’s an action! It’s a snaction!

It big

Hello yes I am here! I have to join from my phone for the time being just as an FYI but I should be able to swap to my laptop later in the session in case combat occurs

I will be on my laptop once I convince myself to stand up and after I recover from Wolf and Awoken at the marketplace

…what’d we do? XD

Hachi and Pads conspiring to OHKO me with Emotions

oh yeah did you get around to reading the other insert sceens yet sins or will i need to Remind The Audience What The Pamphlet is when i pull it out

(which is easily done, just double checking ahead of time)

I’m really sorry I wasn’t there for that because Wolf would have been freaking out

haha

good news! you’re going to get your chance!

okay I am standing up and getting my laptop out pls clap

I know! Just…I’m trying to figure out an in-character explanation of why Wolf was NOT absolutely hovering around the edges of someone doing strange magic work in HIS forests

ye

okay, I am awake and off the couch

i suspect he might have felt some of the ripples distantly, and then sees the sword saint coming back with awoken and aurelius and go “… well i GUESS it’s probably under control if she doesn’t look exasperated…”

Just caught up on this chat - Aurelius, if you could Remind The Audience it would definitely help

I was honestly thinking he might have been specifically staying on the edges to ward/make sure that nothing untowards got attracted by the work

SWIFTLY TRAVELLING

huh weird it says it queued but hasn’t played

salute

that would also make sense yeah

To be fair, insomuch as Wolf trusts Daina, she was keeping an eye on them. And then of course that didn’t … quite go according to keikaku

eyes were kept

The Flourishing Gnosis Blast Wasn’t Me

Yeah, I imagine that he watched the edges and let Daina keep an eye on the goings-on, that makes things make sense for me.

Correct!

n

no

Nyet

I’m good to proceed! Archie is still just trying to cram as much info from the pamphlet into his brain as possible

im making threatening gestures at hachi from across the table while pointing fingers between our eyes but also no

hahahaha

Daina is Ready To Move Past This so hopefully Wolf doesn’t get too disappointed in her for the hijinks she allowed to happen

Hilariously, Wolf is more reacting to Daina’s discomfort than any actual displeasure

I actually figured that! But she’s still embarrassed.

Hehe, aye. Ah well

does the Beast have cocaine and is Awoken gonna snort a line once we get there or…?

Seems Likely TBQH

Love a good feedback loop

when in rome, do the romans

mmmmm mudcoffee

Awoken snorting the weird pure-creation mana, ascends to godhood

vibrating through planar travel

no need for holes in reality with this

Did Archie just pull a Teak? -laughing-

Sure did

hahahaha

somewhere in a distant reality you hear Reibello yelling “NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD”

Archie is just exhibiting standard otter behavior, I don’t know what you’re all talking about

hahahahahah

Well that was a sentence

really just cannot help yourself, huh, Hachi

thanks for that hachi

…SHOULD be…?

it is not a disqualifing sentence on its own

i reckon he doesn’t wanna pull it open and double check

I mean I haven’t personally looked inside

I’m sure there’s a fiend for that

This whole campaign is just getting Pads/Wolf to inflect words that are not normally inflected

oh yeah the x-ray fiend

INTO the Tangle. Into THE Tangle. Into the TANGLE.

I should make a puzzle out of all the fun emphasis words

Added The Tangle to the Rumor map

:O

which part is the wolf and which part is the deer

Th

Chocobo song time

Cuuuute

STOAT MOUNT

the case of the mistaken identity

I asked Teak if we had to worry about Archie getting eaten but the concern is him getting adopted so.

haha

It’s! So! Cute!

they’re perfect

our world needs them

out of curiosity what color(s) are they

cuuuuuuuuute

spoilers, CK will overfeed the swifts, they are a pushover

gahahahahah

not a spoiler. obvious

If Archie didn’t have important business he might just stay like this forever

I’m just imagining him completely enmeshed in a Swift cuddle pile

honestly half-worried about Izaak just abducting Wolf to keep him 4ever

CK and Izaak doing the big strong guy sees another big strong guy, but instead of arm wrestling, FRIENDSHIP

Just two huggers that have accidentally cracked ribs before.

when an unstoppable force meets an unstoppable force

it was a bit goofy for me at the start but after doing a refresh or two it seemed to level out and start behaving itself haha

Had to think about a way of mounting a thing that also makes sense for underwater

shock absorbing weasels

-grins- briefly reminding everyone that Wolf is primarily green-red-white mana, in that order**

oh you’re very likely to win this race, but it’ll be fun trying

CK is very green as a character, but that isn’t as reflective in the deck I built

Now the question is, do we see Arete here

Knew it

apparently the answer is yes

HE’S HEATING UP

HE’S IN IT TO WIN IT

HE’S ON FIRE

-laughs in sheer delight-

can I use arete on the second roll and ascend my dice too?

Ayyy! Nice ascension too!

Oh yes you can

go for iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

i thought teak said yes for explosion, no for ascension

Gm’s allowing it

you can bully teak into ruling your way if you talk and roll fast enough

it’s true

You guys need to roll to bully teak?

haha

hell yeah y’all

<3 <3 <3

we are gonna need some serious detangling action later

laughs in robot

INTO the tangle? into THE tangle? into the TANGLE?

Hello indeed

we’re getting served…ered

Literally all rolling the same number

auspicious

I was going to say how borked

I’m willing to spend the Arete on this one

Oops All 2

Fuck it, I’ll spend the arete to ascend

I’m pretty sure the d4 generator is just print(‘2’) today

I mean I have a d6 and still rolled 2

though notably Wolf didn’t get arete so maybe he’s got something useful

Jesus, bud! You and your explosions

what. the fuck

HUH

alright lol

So that’s a 22

No, no, that ASCENDED, that’s a d8, right?

That goes to d8?

you can’t double ascend in one roll

You can only ascend once a check, I thought

ah okay

Archie’s got the juice today

I feel like with 2 natural explosions Teak should give it to him

unless……………………………………………………………………. fingertips tapping on each other**

Listen, if the gods of luck smile on you that much

I think the rule makes sense in KoB, but we’re rolling more infrequently here, and uhhh that was epic

mfw teaks realized that when you write the rules you can also just Change Them too

hahah

Have fun with the kind of stuff Wolf experiences all the time, Archie! =D

question: is Wolf often confronted with the term “rhizome” or …?

damn i shoulda rolled too so i could find out if it works the way i think it does or not

I was trying to pellucid roll but it doesn’t seem to work on that axis

I was going to pellucid roll, and then peer pressure

server, now is NOT the time

I was gonna ask if it just exploded for anyone else. Oddly enough I have it open on my phone and on my laptop and the phone version didn’t show an error there

yeah i got that one, but the power of refresh continues to work like a charm

(Silent Hill f intensifies)

COEURL KITTEN

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT HAS A PORTRAIT

Teak determined to make the CK a cat person, even though I am not

one of your best friends is a cat!

yesss cat

Coeurllten

CK continuing to be very Bastion-from-Overwatch coded (positive, complimentary)

mmm yeah, you’re not wrong

As long as I’m not Bastion from Bastion coded

hey now they put the world back together eventually

Added the Sundered Grove to the Rumor map

website pls

remember to add your kitten

the kitten is universally important!!

oh believe you me, I remembered
