Scene Archives

: horror music strings intensify**

ah yeah typically boys night topics: how to slay god, how to kickstart the apocolypse

I’m glad he put himself lying down because otherwise this kabedon would look extra silly

hahahah

omg

backreading

dying

the fucking kabedon

nice

lol

holy shit you guys are so dangerous together

Putting Up A Sound Proof Barrier

allegations, proving, &c.

<3

I’m letting the song play out before I hit enter

you’re both perfect

Also did the rest of us just randomly fucking hear “adrift”?

like I’m shopping, on my way to the inn, just heard THAT, and was like “what the FUCK?”

It Happens

Also the thing I wanted to do can be folded into this scene if 1. Hachi is interested in being there (I’d love him to be) and 2. you don’t mind Salme barging in but 3. I also do not want to interrupt, step on toes, or be otherwise rude and I can easily wait.

Go Nuts

Go nuts

lmfao how could I possibly Go Nuts when you are bringing this kind of fucking energy

me, to teak, 15 minutes ago: “this metagaming shit*

*love him”

me to teak, right fucking now: same sentiment, different person

lmao

hahahaha

just fucking bursting through the door “WHY IS VOID MUSIC CONSTANTLY STREAMING OUT OF THIS ROOM”

: “oh whoops I guess I didn’t actually lock the door, anyone could have walked in :3c”

i will have you know i am seated on the bed and he’s on the ground now!!!

^ still 100% gay

gahahahah

: GAY** GAY gay _gay

: “oh thank god she said that, I don’t like to lie”

hahaha

he right tho

he definitely aint wrong

she knows she was messy af

I just wanted to have a nice scene where I asked for help making a fiend.

:’D

suddenly opening this up with ‘how WOULD you kill the king, anyway’ is a dozen times funnier

I could not make a better joke if I was a time traveller

I was supposed to hold that secret for a lot longer what the fuck. What the fuck.

I barge in on a scene and then scene barges in on me

the abyss looms, ever present

Dragon, can I jump ahead of what we talked about and just SHOW them a little bit? if I roll green high enough?

that’s 11, right?

fuck. Yes.

if I can beg the dragon for a bit of mercy, the old history we saw with badri would be best. if not, I can explain it later.

roll again!!!

ope forgot that part

confirmation: hachi does Not have roots

still unconfirmed: may lack a human heart

hahahaha

i got you, mysterious ceder spirit. tree vibes

blessh

hahah

sorry I have to trudge in and backread a lil bit h/o sorry for killing the Momentum

I’m doin’ great

also mfw trees are so used to being trees and not being able to perceive of NOT being trees that they don’t know how to describe spark on spark contact, smh

[OMEGA SPAM]

luckily we are professionals who have dealt with that before

lmfao

professional clowns?

considers the ideal concept of Raine and Hachuchu,

i mean, close enough

now you have to explain those two

also jesus y’all got a malboro infestation, thats what your problem is

I’m going to keep a tally of references I don’t get

oh ty for the spell check I was like “cig-arettes?”

in my defense they were originally straight up called malboro because 80s JP indie isnt afraid of copyrights

(and then they got rubbed out a bit over time as they got bigger lol)

also raine and hachuchu are easy they’re we just the PCs we played in the [OMEGA SPAM] campaign :3

were they – clowns?

when ice says [OMEGA SPAM} he means to elaborate that it references ‘INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE INCOMPLETE’ which are memories that are either deliberately or inadverdently hidden or forgotton or shattered

thank you ice-translator hachi

it’s also what a broken robot god says when you go ‘hey what’s the meaning of life’

‘and where’s your mom’

also oh i thought I had explained omega spam before, but maybe that was to someone else mb

IT’S NOT MULED TEA

you don’t know that. maybe he has to go outside and ride some mules about it

wdym it’s not normal to donkey about and start braying when something bothers you hachi

it’s not normal when it’s MULLED TEA

Wow I see we’re having a normal one today

which words tho hachi

: “ I can understand why you might take my flippancy as disinterest or born of ignorance.”*

oh yeah awoken would be puzzled by that huh

dont worry we’ll make you a real boy too

I really just wanted a little scene of human connection and then they offended her with their “you can’t handle the truth” bullshit

also yes always normal, that’s us to a T

nothing strange happening here

im hachi

HACHI

: “Aurelius tries to mansplain agriculture” was somehow less on my bingo card than “Salme drops her entire ass fucking secret”

FUCK WHAT YOU WANT, DO WHAT YOU WON’T

is what I will not be yelling

DONT HOLD ME BACK IM GUNNA FUCKING EXPLAIN CONTROLLED BURNING TO THE SPOKEN WOOD

WE ARE NOT STONE AGE WEIRDOS WE HAVE HEALERS WE UNDERSTAND MEDICINE AND TECHNOLOGY YOU ARE SO GREEN-IST

AND YET YOU CAN’T CONTROL OVER GROWTH WITHOUT LETTING GNOSIS CANCER TURN IT INTO A TENTACLE ABOMINATION THAT DEVOURS ALL KNOWN LIFE???????????????

Yep. Just a completely normal one.

This is fine dot jay peg

welcome ti the internet CK

Please do not let CK on the internet

im gunna get so much posting done on samudra

THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROBLEM FROM OVERWEENING GREEN GNOSIS ALSO GREEN WOOD DOES NOT BURN EASILY

lmao

i can show them……………………………..

Second Best, baby. shades**

sorry she is. gestures**

you called her out on her deepest insecurity and flight one vs. fight

the actual dangerous part of the awoken is that he’s an enabler

so he is also okay with someone retreating from their insecurities and doing something else

mfw you’re from the beast and the default is ALWAYS fight and you get fucking thrown off harder by ‘yeah you’re right i suck’ more than ANYTHING ELSE in the conversation

lmfaoooo awoken

I mean also. Salme has a bit of a fight response herself but also reads people well enough to know just throwing her self-loathing at Aurelius would be more effective than a Rite

fight or fight :|!

also the ever classic

FIGHT

> FIGHT EVIL

Aury was cruising for a dickpunch there but I think it would have cheered him up too much

imagine if u got in a fight thinking you sucked and then u won tho…….. imagine………………

he’s taking a dive!!

I mean that would get ahead of some critical character issues and since we’re speedrunning this thing I need to keep SOMETHING for like. the next couple sessions

lmao

MY MAN “yeah the party without me would have sucked total ass” i respect the confidence

yeah, THE WEAPON…………………………………………

\

BUT HERE WE ARE

hahaha

that was me

:)

they were kinda lode baring lol

fuck that was so hard to respond to

whew

maybe he’s born with it

oh shit you’re going to go with the Full Parrot

: “hmm parrots probably dont make sense as normal beast critters.” “what if parrots are just straight up fiends” “GENIUS”

that’s how you fight krakens

and [whatever those giant floating fish from FF are called]

:)

we definitely got Big Lake Based Monsters it’d be useful for in any case!!!

HACHI I AM GOING TO EXPIRE

:3c

oh god what Highly Specific Cultural Slang Mine did you just run into

it’s worse.

ah i see so what you’re saying is “GAY GAY gay _gay …” okay

oh what do ya’ll give sparrows instead of rings or something

not … quite

more like “I got a little charm of a sigil unique to your incarnation of the sword-saint in an Extremely Intense Way”

aha

NORMALLY HE WOULD DIG,

there’d be an entire fucking excavation going on right now,

but you earned the reprieve

Dragon, Hachi is trying to make my character spontaneously combust :(

roll burning gnosis :3c

awoken, internally “that sounds like a lot of friggin’ mirrors and horns, are camps in the beast just beating up a brass section every night or what”

fascinating you have a concept of “brass section”

fortunately for my anachronism, fiends can also be made of brass

they sure are

also they’re probably mostly used to get in touch with REALLY our of the way clans on excursion with important messages, otherwise you just send a letter like a normal ass person

i blame ice

what happened?

i also blame everyone else for being so gosh darn great

seems like a solid plan

i did nothing wrong

: “Aury”

you did. some things wrong.

a few

1-2

can you prove that to someone else WITHOUT embarassing yourself

no ):

all I wanted was to know the deepest dark secret of all the worlds

I warned you bro, i WARNED you about deep dark secrets of reality

they cause problems

lmao

honestly the first embarrassing thing was going to aurelius while out of sorts

the second was walking in on the say gex

gahahahah

yes the acute embarrassment of interrupting your Moment

imagine her being just a minute earlier

: “Go Nuts” they said

and it turned out great!

:D

all y’all ludicrous

ludi, from the same root as game and thus … something something Winning At Game

:D ?

ilu nerd

says the otter that kepts throwing around the word “ludonarrative” like

c’mon, pal

buddy

frien

i did not at any point imply that i was NOT a huge nerd

NEEEEERRDDDDDDD

oh shit

what was i supposed to look through green rites for i remember it coming up but not why

The Final Seal is Broken

the morse code at the end

OH

god i don’t think i ever ran that through a converter before that’s midly horrifying

: “mildly”

maybe it’s just a sword fiend

gahahahahhahahaha

IT’S BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME

:D

hachi im going crazy i know you mentioned dog song . mp3 no longer being on the track list SOMEWHERE but don’t see it in any of the backscrolls that were in used to [Much Time Passed] later go “oh yeah that’s been gone since week one and also did you REALLY try and queue that up lmao”

it never would have gotten emitted to logs, lol

can you imagine tho, dogsong.mp3 just. abruptly WHOMPing at us out of no where during that lol

LOL

god

i almost regret.

also teak i like how you deleted the recent test log

but not the first one lol

waow

ok gotta admit

the Fancy Handwritten Script In Dragon Purple going “wait what the fuck was that” is even funnier in log than in session

hahahahahhahha

also updates fiendcraft entry before i forget

doing all little entries like they’re inside a beginners cook book or something is kinda fun

hahahaha, I love it

director’s notes,

I did not know the awoken was going to call him “aury” until my fingers had typed it and then I thought for a second and went “yeah let’s hit enter”

gahahahah <3

ngl that didn’t even register when it happened lol

also how does every scene title get funnier in retrospect somehow…

lolf

that’s how you know it’s a good pet name

Oh hey someone else found the final seal, then?

someone else found the final seal!

Yayyyy

i got one of those in my deck :)

Hell yeah

Debating if I should make CKs deck greener. They turned out much more green than red imo

haha. Maybe his fighting style is just different from his adventuring style, I know that’s definitely the case for Aurelius at least

Yrah, that makes sense

i mean are there green cards that you think would be fun to play? i think c-k As Played would justify having a greener deck though, probably, if you wanted that

Hachi caught up on last scene. 11/10 Sparrow

He killed me with that it was so good

Hachi are you still around or is it also bedtime for you?

oops

it’s really not important lol

sometime later then~

yes of course!

oh huh, teak, it only gives the taskbar number/notification if the new message doesn’t come from the channel you’re idling in, even if the window itself isn’t active that’s pretty wacky

isn’t that normal? you wouldn’t want a notification in an active chat?

I… guess…? It makes sense when it’s the active window for sure for it to not do anything. I had thought if it was minimized into the tray / not the active window WOULD though (kinda like how I still get an irc/discord notif no matter what channel i had pulled up last when i tab away from it)

not too big a deal either way really, but just noticed and mentioned it since it was slightly unexpected behavior haha

ooh i see yeah I guess that’s a little unexpected. I thought you were talking about having the window up for some reason

yeah that’d be a bit silly (how would it even know if I’d seen if it i was looking directly at it :O)

huh i wonder how the browser WOULD know if you were actually looking at it. hm

i’d assume there’s SOME method to determine what the active window is and isn’t otherwise it’d make typing Real Spicey, but

I’m pretty sure there’s listeners for when the browser is minimized/maximized

ah yup Page Visibility API, okay

lol that was an easy fix…

:O

:O

ok but sanctuary push notifs when

oh cool now it does work how i thought it would

:3

the problem is i really hate push notifs… lol

what is a push notif anyway sometimes i see sites ask if i want them but have no idea what the fuck it means

oh lol it’s when on your phone you get little app notifications. if you use windows on a pc it’s usually little notifs that pop up on the right. They’re generally super annoying for most things imo.

I was 90% joking and 10% “what would getting a push notification of ‘aurelius and the awoken are posting in a new thread’ do to my blood pressure.”

I was trying to come up with another problem couple but it really is you two.

aha

hahahaha

like I wouldn’t trust Teo if he was playing a different character probably but right now it’s you two.

[loud cackle]

: “ok but like hunter/anyone awoken/anyone could EASILY be just as much of a problem with a tiny bit of effort” “doesn’t that just prove her point” “HMMMMMMMM”

well I mean part of the reason I was Not Like “Ice let’s do a dumb scene” is because teak wasn’t here to manage a rite if/when it came to it

so yes it proves my point

jokes on you the rite rules are highly codified and easy to complete without outside arbitration

i mean what

lololololololol

honestly another flourishing mind-meld would probably be More Effective

Green React

though it would be funny if Salme challenged Aury, lost, and then Aury had to be the Sword-Saint and no one is happy.

you should definitely give aurelius control over the sassy and overwhelmingly depressed memory storage device nothing bad will happen at all

I would not give Aurelius control over a depressed lemur

yeah i dont have much interest in a lemur i want the artefact :)

[wheezing softly]

you are going to get us so arrested in Mu

yeah,

yeah I made peace with that around session two

everyone is going to jail when we get to mu

maybe CK escapes because they think he’s a stove

the worst part is Salme IS probably goint to ask Aurelius for help with figuring out how the mask works and she is almost certainly going to regret it.

haha

CK escapes because they think he’s a stove I’m

dying

also dying

what ELSE would a large metal thing in a vaguely round shape at roughly chest height be

though actually I did want to ask how much heat CK generates and like. If they could plausibly use them to make a sauna?

: “roughly chest height” they’re seven feet tall?

well yeah but the head is the display panel and the chest is the door you open

obv

THE HEAD IS A TOASTER

bread goes in mouth slot eyes are the dials

yeahthis makes perfect sense

it does but also it feels a lil rude to talk about them like that

dont look at me im not a lizard priest

probably

who knows what else is in there with you?

it is a mystery

goth bird, lizard priest, it could be anything

GOTH BIRD

looooooool

if you’re going to be coy about your secrets then I’m going to be aggressively wrong about my guesses

ca-caw

you should have Teak tell you what I decided the Truth That Burns is

please look forward to when we’re done with adma

adma?

What do you think the truth that burns is, it can’t possibly be funnier than some of hachi’s guesses

alma rather

my brain really wants the d in front not the end

SHUT UP TEAKWOOD

ice you can either excise lots of letters or typo a bunch of letters but you can’t do both

this is but a fraction of his power

pffffffffffffffffffhahahahahahah

im definitely never fucking remembering how to spell almachadta

actually now that i say that and tabbed back and forth between the map multiple times, alma-chad-ta isn’t that bad

ice ilu

alma-chad-ta!!

it just looks more belligerent when i’m seeing/copying the entire thing at once i guess

oh well with the caveat that I know this is wrong, you and hachi talking about Roles, the homestuck of it all, and the fact that it is supposed to be baffling has me convinced the scorpion queen told aury that the hunter usually has a better rack

you were wrong ice, it was way funnier

hahahah

damn saying hunters not at hot as the dreamer, really hitting where it hurts

disappointment that the hunter isn’t a hot lesbian

the truth that burns

ono

run

ahahahaha

no get back in the box

god forbid women do anything

hgtrfrhiokpjtyrfgjkhoinpjhytiop

dies

it’s much funnier knowing how BF played out

ice i don’t think we’re gonna girlyell, girlshame, girlboss our way outta this one

it does seem unlikely

Teak did mention that you usually ARE a hot lesbian?

In games. Not like. IRL? Probably?

there’s definitely a sliding scale with “very loud and aggressive and Probably Kind Of Gay lady” on one side and “he’s just a silly lil guy” on the other

Not that you can’t be a hot lesbian if you want to. I believe in you.

and teak’s probably slightly more familiar with my former characters since they tend to wind up in the longer games somehow

and also leilani inflicted psychic damage on him in the first game he ran lmao

I feel like “Probably Kind of Gay” might be an understatement? Especially considering the level of homoeroticism you bring just by like. Existing?

there is a LOT of yelling involved so it sometimes covers up the lesbianism, sometimes

there may have been some lesbian NTR (does it count as NTR if everyone thought her husband was dead)

leilani is still inflicting psychic damage on me, 16 years later

NTR?

weighing whether or not I want to say what I have lined up………….

listen if the eidolons wanted us to summon them they wouldn’t have presented themselves as mind devouring eldritch abominations

say it.

ok,

BF was not unlike a first kink session where everyone has a rough idea on what the expectations are but also doesn’t really know the other person(s), at least Not Like That, yet

hahahahaha

god

god

Get To Know Your Friends By Giving Them A Lifelong Fear Of Obsidian

i cant believe teak’s first game had Cuppa And You as the plot monkeys and then me and peter were given free reign to Do What We Want and then fue and aleith were standing to the side going “yup this is normal”

that sure happened

i did not

give.

see versus now I feel like I am stumbling into a kink party in full swing where everyone knows each other intimately and I can’t quite escape a sense of voyeurism.

you and peter free rein. you took it against my will and i only landed that plane without killing both of you out of sheer human cussédness

you have cats you know if you leave food out without locking it up they’ll get into it

it is free rein. just so you know.

like as in horse reins

ice typoed it so i had to also typo it

rein is always free from engaging it’s true

there i fixed mine

but ice won’t fix his, because he sux

it was definitely reign. there were. queens and kings of the narrative and sometimes at best the GM could only hold on

im not it leads into a sick burn on someone that’s not here to frown at me :(

lol

ACTUALLY YEAH I WAS A PRINCESS, TECHNICALLY

the real funny thing btw is I tihnk that feeling is mostly just because everyone Knows Teak and then like

oh NOW we’re acknowledging being Emmerololth

me/hachi know each other and pads/reibello know each other

tihnk

who the fuck is emmerololth i was talking about how leilani was first in line to take over rule of her island before she fucked off

anyways great news about us all being exhibitionists

(i obv know who emmerololth is)

ice i’m going to kick you until you die

hahaha

<3

<3

also just think about how boring meeting phoenix would have been

if vera was in charge and not trying to make out with leilani

and how we would have died in act 1 if poel was in charge

lolf

never would have happened, he would have needed to live longer than 30 minutes at a time

aaaaaay

me, deliberately target someone in battle? gosh

gosh

I sure hope that doesn’t happen to anyone in THIS game.

Leilani > Kathrine > Kolith > Crystal > Elizabeth > Eris > Raine > Saffron > Arissa > Serenity > Miracle - Erlinj < Samuel < Zander < Jorule < Zhaeid < Gerald < Matthis < Astral Cop < Ezekiel < Theodore < Can’t Remember My 1601 guy’s name < The Spiral Land Twink

is probably what that slider roughly looks like……….. (i got curious about maping it out myself lol)

Rrrrrrrraaaaiiiine

OH WAIT SPIRAL LAND

there

i feel like I’m still missing two or three,,,,

: “The Spiral Land Twink”

i can’t remember his name but i do remember teak going “oh i see you play both ends of the gay scales” immediately

lmao

nfjakkgjntbgkkakgn

oh shit there’s uh

the cop too……………

who i’d probably place middle but teak would put second from the right

not a single person in that party was conventionally heterosexual even if your guy probably was, strictly speaking, the straightest person there

i don’t think i can realistically put my SW character on there considering how hard we crashed out on being players there…. and aeriel only lasted like 2 sessions……….

hahah

ice i’m not gonna lie i do not, in any way, remember who your SW character even was. i wiped all traces of that campaign from my memory fully

it’s ok i can’t either

I just want to know what you playing a twink is like and if it’s at all like how hachi plays a twink

i think it was the weird eye race but that’s about it

i think you were more human than you usually were but i don’t remember shit about your guy either :D

<teakwood> points at pirates, the voidtouched, the keet “gay, gay, gay”

<hachi, crying> “you can’t just keep calling everything gay…”

<teakwood, pointing at a vast repeating history> “gay”

bvfgdhujoiklklhbtrtdofilhjbnrtioejhiotjriohjbtiodjglfjh

yeah I think michal was pretty similiar to the awoken except like, less vaguely menacing and more touchy

I remember I was an elf with lots of tattoos that had Meanings because they had meanings to elves and it was a big thing to let people see a lot of ‘em

… huh

hachi remember that one time you, me, and cuppa wrote an incredibly goofy gay BDSM threesome abusing healing magic offscreen in really blatant ways into a campaign just to see what we could get away with

: “less vaguely menacing and more touchy” is. wild to imagine. I guess you have range.

i DO remember that time

OKAY i think I got all the major ones now

Leilani > Kathrine > Kolith > Crystal > Elizabeth > Eris > Raine > Saffron > Arissa > Serenity > Miracle - Erlinj < Samuel < Zander < Jorule < Zhaeid < Edward < Gerald < Matthis < Astral Cop < Ezekiel < Theodore < Still Can’t Remember My 1601 guy’s name < Michal*

you wrote a … what.

Rrrrraaaaiiiiine

eris is funny tho b/c she didn’t really start anything and just had just powerful aura gay things kept happening to her

(I can’t see Raine’s name without going “Rrrrraaaiiiiine” sorry)

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraine

that’s his spectrum of “raging lesbian” to “throbbingly masculine”

throbbingly

sir the far end of that scale is “cosmically fuckable twink”

I REMEMBER THAT TEAKWOOD

uhh… horseshoe theory? :D

i remember callyn looking at all the dumb shit ya’ll were doing, pausing, and then just going “yeah sure okay,” and then immediately moving on every time too

maybe cosmically fuckable twink is as throbbingly masculine as ice gets?

also yeah hachi and cuppa and i were in a campaign we kind of knew was going to be a shitshow (idk why we were. in. the campaign, i think we were bored) and we decided, as a bit, to be extremely fucking silly

Erlinj was pretty traditionally masuline

I feel like typing that was a hate crime.

vfgdjihbouirtjghoijtreiohj

you drop off the cliff PRETTY far pretty fast on either side of the midpoint let’s be real

curious. what is Teak like as a player?

hahah

grabs popcorn

if ice isn’t gonna define that end of the spectrum I’m gonna take potshots until he yowls an answer

teakwood is a very good kitten

and what does hachi usually play?

i mean it was mentioned before typing it all out but it was

that was somehow the gayest thing that has been said yet tonight

roughly “loud lesbian that’s going to kick someone’s face in” to “goofy lil guy who’s just here to have fun and winds up flirting with everyone but especially hachi and fue’s characters inevitably somehow”

yeah and it was about YOU so

<3

slightly more emphasis on gaymosexuals when there was a conflict between being LOUD AND A YELLOW DOT and being quitely reasonable

(yellow dot means party leader btw)

(oh okay)

hachi is either a pirate or a shonen jump protagonist or a bouncer

its MY TURN play dockingbay translator

and if you think he’s not playing one of those three you are wrong or he’s hiding for a few sessions

correct

I mean hachi is playing a shounen jump protagonist right now

sometimes, I’m also just Steeped In The Bullshit

possibly also a pirate?

the awoken is actually PIRATE CODED

ok look

I didn’t choose the cuff life the cuff life chose me

and yeah he is, incredibly gillus, so

Drinking The Water is pirate-coded

except I have grown even more powerful than that

shit

tho i was reading logs where he played the keet dragon boy yesterday so my shonen jump PC callibration is set Very Specifically right now

and the awoken absolutely Drinks The Water

Teak is the Eternal Wingman

except that one time he tried play an aggressive yellow dot and the campaign exploded (not his fault)

teak is your stalwart wingman who can be mischevious but would never intentionally hurt you

(Drinking The Water is when you are in a weird location and the water probably has mystical bullshit properties and the first thing you do is immediately drink it anyways and don’t afraid of anything)

I mean the awoken did a wholeass “believe in yourself! you make your own future!”

so did hunter actually I expected theme music to start

<3 @ both of you

yeah “I’m here to help (cause problems and murder!)” or “I’m here to help! (patch things up, move your car, do your dishes, whatever)*

but always here to help

hahahahah

oh so themselves often enough

basically

hmmmm. now I need to see Teak be forced into a protagonist role

ice how did GMM turn out

HMM

(also one thing I actively choose with most characters is How Meta Obsessed Are They but it also either doesn’t come up or literally has to come up, because it either is or isn’t a Mana campaign, so)

GMM was like

me and fue we probably running the show, except we were faffing about at extreme speeds and forced grav to responsibly yellow dot

and teak was a little gremlin who was here to help but had SECRETS to TAUNT ANTON (fue’s character) WITH

GMM party dynamics were great because you and fue were very dynamic, grav kept everyone honest, and i would occasionally just be enigmatic as all hell

not unlike me and you in sanct come to think of it

also,

rarely,

Amal (teak’s character) kicked julian (the GM) in the nuts and became the GM of the campaign for a couple of minutes at a time

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

God

which is LIKE yellow dotting but in the least useful and tangible way possible

ruby texts some names

Julian should have fucking won an Oscar for his flounce

still upset the rite in sanctuary means no one can get kicked in the nuts

it’s rude, isn’t it

smh just do what any reasonable person on the beast does when they want to inflict surprise violence and set up an elaborate rube goldberg machine with a chaos factor or two in it that prevents you from knowing if it’ll succed or not so you can reasonably argue to the dragon it was fate

oh thanks for that tip

that’s way too much effort when you can instead just get them into a Situation involving a giant monster that overlevels them

F O E F O E!

M P K M P K!

what if I want to drop a moon NEAR someone but not neccessarily ON them but it so happens to land on them as well

historically bring the moon down tends to kill us all and then also the campaign

we are currently already experiencing a critical moon shortfall, please do not make it worse

going to experience a critical short moonfall

: “we’re gonna get you your win back aury i got a plan”

I’m

i really do go back and forth on who’s more likely to get us all killed and usually it is aurelius but

then you type these things, hachi

and I am Concerned

_{wait until you find out that awoken is fairly certain he can cause an eclipse of the centrelight}

it’s gonna be ONE of those two, safe bet

aurelius will never get us all killed in a way that truely matters

ah yes, eclipses, traditionally a thing that have been incredibly safe to invoke

what is the eclipse going to accomplish?

HISTORICALLY, IT KILLS US ALL AND ENDS THE CAMPAIGN,

that, you’ll have to ask

laugh crying

this is why I need that onsen scene with you.

so I can Ask Questions

Please Look Forward To It

(teak explain PLFTI)

beast didn’t lose another moon after the last session right? right. ok i guess it’s not a session times

no. I checked.

Please Look Forward To It is the thing you say when you are hoping that someone looks forward to a thing (the producer/director of FFXIV says it a lot about upcoming features or things in XIV, it’s become a meme)

It is also, contextually, a threat. At least coming from you three

yeah it was always kind of like, vaguely JP corporate speak when they had to address audiences but it definitely got memed way harder after yoshida started doing the PLLs lol

if i want to threaten someone I say “What an excellent question!” or “That’s a good hypothesis!”, pls

You have also said Please Look Forward To It

that’s GENERALLY less threatening and more sincere

unless you asked about something horrible happening, then it’s sincerely threatening

when I say PLFTI, it means I am at least scheming**

it involvee the =D

if he =D make sure there are no knives in the room

oh yeah there’s a gradation of emoji from the anime fox face to =D to =)

I thought you were honest and didn’t scheme, hachi

his type 1 is a pirate it’s in his blood

hahaha

somehow ice comes back around to being the most trustworthy?

:3 -> =D -> =) is definitely a gradient of

“threatening you with an arrow” “the arrow is nocked” “that arrow is in flight”

and also,

that’s because when I do something stupid it’s VERY OBVIOUS and sometimes I even go “hachi should I pick the character whom i 40% want to pick just to mess with you” before deciding!!!

honest men can scheme!!! it just means nobody has asked about the plan yet

: “you haven’t asked :(”

that arrow is in flight lol

I am going to ask. When I get the chance. Salme is reviewing how one bargains with the fae as we speak.

lololol

but also

lies of omission are still technically lies.

WRONG LIES OF OMISSION IS HOW YOU SAVE THE WORLD

ogod

i mean,

shuffles foot nervously

Okay, fuck you @ the Architect and LYING is perfectly acceptable and even good, just don’t act like you aren’t doing it.

i definitely have NOT played Multiple Character’s who entire deal revolved around Always Telling The Truth (But Being Very Good At Talking Around Things They Are Definitely Not Lying About) and didn’t get a lot of experience with that in over the years ha-HA

trying to lose the trustworthy mantle but still retaining it due to the subterranean bar

please imagine that meme with a road forking into a Brightly Lit Happy Kingdom and a Dark And Evil Castle and the road sign says “Always Tells The Truth” pointing in both directions except Raine/Saffron are on one side and Leilani/Samuel are on the other

lolf

ALSO BELATEDLY HACHI BUT

it’s Very Interesting to me that you decide ahead of time how meta your dudes are even when it might not matter

(vs doing it ahead of time specifically for mana, when it absolutely will matter lol)

also thanks dishes I KNEW I WAS MISSING TWO CHARACTERS, ONE OF THEM IT’S ACTUALLY INSANE I FORGOT TO LIST: Rieanna and Simon

hahahah

(and also the elf terrorist i played in peter’s first game i can’t remember)

AND ALSO THE NU MU IN THE CHRONO TRIGGER GAME,

how i ever forget the time me and peter almost killed each other’s characters in the fucking prologue to a campaign

ok now i think i have successfully remembered all my dockingbay characters

lawl

28… not including double zander/raine, x3 jorule, and several smaller characters who’s games died earlier enough they don’t feel like they count… we sure used to run hella games back in the day huh

that is … so many games

yee

ice, it is critical that you know that the source code has “icecylee” all over it. Teak explained it was due to design experimentation, but all our posts are within the “icecylee-container”

what

the important note about some of these games is that they were only so many sessions by design

hmmm

i think like 3~4 may have been 8 Or So Sessions On Purpose, then another… 4.5 (matthis/michal were in the same Two Party game…) in slightly double that on purpose… but a lot of them actually did last fairly long

only a small handful ran for literal years(plural) tho

part of deciding how accepting characters are of meta-ness is also an indication of how well they are able to handle out of context ideas and problems and concepts

it’s like a slider for how wisp to shade they are when approaching problems

my bouncers are wisp, my shounen protagonists are a mix of wisp and shade, my pirates are shade

ah, yeah yeah that makes sense

ur FACE makes sense

thats the power of high charisma

just had the random urge to explain The Sandwich Running Gag and that If A Sandwich Shows Up There’s A Stupid Reason For It, but then also remembered the sandwich event always happens to fue anyway so it wouldn’t be quite the same even if it did happen here………………………

cheese sandwiches are just inherently funny at this point

still think about cheese sandwiches and the sandwich that got away (never was?)(sandwiches on distant worlds?) on occasion to this day

dont worry if he asks something confusing and pointed ill just make shit up with a Very Authoritative Voice and itll work out

no one can tell when I’m winging it it’s fine

gee amal, why does YOUR mom let you talk in red pen :(

that said uhhh no real preference. room could work. quiet allyway in town no one can here us could work. in the hotsprings could be funny “so we just sit in the hot water….?” “seems like” “alright”

Oh my God, have I finally made it through the backscroll?

uhhhh hotsprings is objectively the funniest choice. Room is fine too.

look at me guys im blending in with the locals and not standing out at all in any way

You know Teak never answered this so Reibello … can the CK emit enough heat/steam to function as a heating element and/or a makeshift sauna.

hahahahahaha

no get in the water. electrocute him.

I don’t think I’m electric

no more so than any human, anyway

not with that attitude!

listen if you can’t successfully make an argument that “people dying bad, saving world good” to a resident of said world i think you just gotta except you are NOT solving robot ethics 101 on your first shot at the problem

Also thanks teak, you made a giant cool robot and gave it impostor syndrome

haha

I’m good here - unless you want to talk to robotguy about more things

hmhm that’s probably a decent place to wrap it, nothing exploded or went pear shaped :D

Nothing exploded - just like my dice

Hell yeha, thanks

aaaay (Same :()

yeah was nice!

i feel so powerful naturally slipping that ff11 meme in there

I enjoyed it

:D

CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG

mfw one scene got replaced with three

intimidating gm aura

:fear:

gahahaha

y’all

your rocks are haunted

SIR

THREE OF THOSE ARE REALLY EASY TO FIGURE OUT

<3

oh wait azure was an answer ok you got 1/3

: “TWO OF THOSE ARE REALLY EASY TO FIGURE OUT” was the desired reaction and I got a whole 50% more than I bargained for

deals within wheels

im glad you know your favorite color tho

so i dont have to fucking ed you

now I regret writing it if only so I could have made all the fur on your back stand up

i know where your sheet is and i have the power to edit it

ROLL ONE D-AWOKEN TO SEE IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON

also very lol at “yeah the piece of mirror roughly aligns with how long the message could be” not being a big deal since we got glass all over and then over here it’s like “ah yeah, i’m stealing the biggest mirror in the royal palace i can find and no one’s gunna stop me to question it because i am the head of the fbi/fcc ha HA”

ASCENSION

see fiends are easy you got it :)

excuse you I purchased that mirror

and the hammer

which I am keeping

ah yeah yeah i get you. yes you definitely bought it

Oi. God. Make me a scene, please. “Wolf’s Room.” I’ll do the rest.

oh that wasn’t a threat about the mirror. I mean someone probably gave it to me for pretty cheap. the hammer is for threats about future behavior.

Thursday night party time

Thank you! Man, I wish all the gods were so responsive.

height and weight unknown like we can measure you bro

Only if you’re a cute bunny, apparently!

lksjdflk;sd

also I’m done with that scene

they’re written down somewhere**

you’re like 5’1“-5’3” short king

iirc

100%!

love that the light drinkers are 100% on Awoken’s bullshit

Pads: “oh know, you’re going to make wolf sad again”

Also Pads: making wolf sad all on their own“

it is currently understated but the lightdrinkers seemingly not knowing about obsidian genuinely threw off awoken haha

Liiiisten, I might as well get there first.

rock does not recognize rock :(

also dragon, you can archive the salme’s room scene

understand understand the concept of (rotate)

who brings WHAT

look at what you did hachi you made him so happy he statred talking with a speaker tag in green and using fake CONCEPTS not even words :(

you spin him right-round baby

did you know that the lightdrinkers were going to be like this or is this another function of the Teakgestaltwissen?

HACHI you can’t just fucking drop the end of the world on some rocks

they’re gossipy!

it’s ok you have to have a little brain damage to understand them

he may not be able to taste the light but we have the technology to taste the rainbow

lightdrinkers are friggin’ adorable

also you are friggin’ adorable

me: no I don’t think Salme is big on touch

me, a bit later: nevermind y’all need hugs

the sadness is palpable

also awoken is about to invent the black light and then immediately create shitty dorm room posters

jump scared by my PC speakings being WAY louder natively than my headphones after I unplugged ‘em to turn the switch on and having obsidian road blaring in my ears while playing FZ-99 earlier lmao

hahahaha

A Blacklight? You’ve got so much…Pathos…there, Awoken

is that front SUPPOSED to collapse the interobang into itself or are you doing something silly on purpose

oh yeah just… it’s. taking up a single unit of letter, instead of two, which is startling me

you’re a silly person teakwood

Shockingly, Billy Shakes didn’t interrobang

isn’t that what an interrobang inherently is?

!? is the sick perversion, right?

social link with Wolf leveled up. Salme will now die for you.

You can decide to take half after rolling poorly. The Dragon will look at you funny, but it’s allowed.

me “damn you can take half even after a roll??” the rules “bruh this is monty-woods system” “orite”

faceplants while trying to impress the lightdrinkers

I can’t fuck this up in front of the talking salt licks

how do you have chemistry with a rock. this feels like it shouldn’t be allowed

wdym there’s a lot of rocks in chemistry

e m m i t t i n g l i q u i d

if that had been a 7 I would have done a backflip haha

fuck these guys and their not-d4s am i right CK

ARE YOU BLEEDING

he’s FLEXING

no hes sweating but they can’t telling sweat and blood and tears and _{other liquids} apart

alright that was not the intent, but tildes making it subtext is perhaps funnier

Are you effin’ kidding me with that ascension?!

hahahahaha

Also, the distinct irony of Wolf being kind of wonderstruck by the people he’s met and then Awoken over here just casually doing weird magic shit that would give him fits**

now you know how Salme has felt every time she hangs out with him

He spiked it so hard it ended up in the Strange Paths?!**

would you believe that was the plan all along

wait you didn’t say that in plain text and i just assumed that was the natural end point? lol

annoying, right?

Am I correct in assuming we’re at a good wind-down point?

(I will gladly scene out the baths, if one wishes…eventually! But it has been a looong day.)

yeah I think so! they’ve talked, Salme said what she needed to say, and the rest of the Critical Information should probably be in-session

lmfao they’re both so tense and crackly

Yee! Thank you very much, my friend. That was lovely. And yes, I imagine they both carry quite a lot of tension, don’t they?

Thank you. You were perfect and wonderful. <3

and yeah I think they both probably could use some deep tissue massage

NO

STOP

DO NOT FUCK THAT ROCK

fuck the rock

why not

just remember YOU brought him here and anything he does in public……………………………

he’s bouncing ideas off the rock somea y’all have some TENSION

also things I am thankful for: ctrl+enter being “send text”

<3

psi-oa-enyeth

you are so wonderful hachi that was a delight to read

<3

I adored that scene and, I mean this with fondness, it was also very formal

sometimes formality is useful when talking about difficult things. we can’t all be manic pixie voidbois with no spine

no spine, more flexibility

this is true. Awoken is exceedingly flexible

hey Ice, if you’re lurking around here, if you had to say Aury resembled any one KIND of fox, what kind would it be?

there are KINDS of foxes

idk whatever one is a rusty red/brown color

ice is not actually a furry, the only fox he knows is firefox

ice is obviously not a furry he keeps forgetting he has ears and a tail

with a floofy tail??? i assume all foxes are like that but just in case not an un–floofy one???

its not MY fault unua didn’t wanna look at his ass in the spring

they were mentioned tho!!

yes but they never swivel or flick!

yeah they aren’t very expressive

writing notes “actively…look…at…aurelius…ass…”

you know I did speculate that Aury doesn’t have ears at all

and is just wearing a fancy headband to feel cute

what

hahah

sup salme

hello. how was your rock adventure?

it was a lot of fun, turns out we have a lot in common

that did seem to be the case

r-r-rotate

how’s the bathwater, and would you like to find out

I could be convinced, if you’re available

availability is a go!

all right let’s go

rattling a dragon to go steam up the baths

: “oshit we ROTATIN’”

that’s okay I got you from the first setting

hell yeh

it is, ultimately, your fault

squint

I don’t have a good sense of what it sounds like so I keep using the “Rainbow High” song from Evita

look if the Awoken isn’t going to name himself he’s going to get a nickname

oh pet name i see

hachi asking dangerous questions

language shenanigans for naming my Cool New Fiend led to some galaxy brain realizations

uh-oh

about how long is her unbraided hair anyway

oh nothing dangerous, just some fun ways I can abuse a dictionary

you should definitely use the english name for that one

like waist-to-thigh length. in one of my doodles I have “90% hair by volume” somewhere

pffffft

awoken knows he’s got game

Are you fucking auspisticing Salme and Aurelius right now?

gahahahgsdahgashhah

dead

do you really wanna get bow’d at more

unfortunately you swapped rapidly between pacifying techniques so fast she thought you were bullshitting

yeah cause they kept not working ;;

we can do full ass fukkin’ queenstown formal military mode if we gotta tho!!!

unfortunately when you constantly bullshit eventually people will think you’re always bullshitting. them’s the breaks

never once has any bullshitting ever happened……….. man, you know how to keep a stiff upper lip and laugh in the face of danger and despair and suddenly it’s all “oh you never take anything seriously” and “oh you’re so untrust worthy” and “oh nothing that ever comes out of your mouth is sincere”…!

teak I want you to imagine I’m staring straight at the camera as ice says this

I CAN FEEL IT

also it occures to me i never actually

told that story IC to anyone,

though aurelius and awoken both reacted like he had and assumed he knew

awoken picked it up via context clues

• Aurelius: “That’s how she got me, you know. I had her back to the wall, one more attack and I’d won. And then she blindsided me with this.”*

dude remembers the Beast Entry’s bit about the throne

it IS in the lyrics

if you hear the song enough on the radio you will learn the lyrics whether you like it or not (or have audio processing issues and mishear the lyrics and end up singing it wrong for half your life until your friends find out and make fun of you for it)

it sure is :(

eat your mondegreens

lmfao sorry hachi’s burn made my internet crash

understandable

also dude you were Not Subtle that the scorpion queen kicked your ass

subtle is my middle name

> ever once has any bullshitting ever happened……….. man, you know how to keep a stiff upper lip and laugh in the face of danger and despair and suddenly it’s all “oh you never take anything seriously” and “oh you’re so untrust worthy” and “oh nothing that ever comes out of your mouth is sincere”…!

hit dogs holler

hachi its ruff being you

couldn’t quite pull it off, but close enough for jazz

oh,

that’s the most horrifying ⁂ i’ve ever seen

okay sure but also “smirks in the way that one does when fate bears down upon them” made me laugh aloud

WHEN I DO IT IS SMUG AND CONDESCENDING, WHEN HE DOES IT IT’S FUNNY AND CUTE. I SEE HOW IT IS

to be fair he DID spend like. half an hour/an hour doing intensive haircare for her first.

hahah

ゴゴゴゴ

big dog catches car moment for Salme here

teak I rly need to develop Ascended Techne: Raise The Stakes and make it official

BARK BARK BARK

anyway if there was

ever any doubt on if awoken was ‘pirate’ or ‘shonen jump protag’

i feel like this clears that up

oh he just said it

: “fastball, right down the middle”

delighted

feels like it falls under the arete for laffs cavet really

also ice I want you to know that “hachi characters are either bouncers, shounen jump protags, or pirates” has not only been living rent free in my head but it keeps throwing noisy parties every night and I can’t complain because I invited them

lmao

you thought i had a type but jokes on you so do you!!!

(“bouncers” for the more serious, no nonsense ones felt a bit inspired tho esp considering the other two if i may say so myself)

yeah definitely pirate

(it definitely rounded out the “being read to filth” feeling)

SPIRITS

lmao i thought i had tabbed

lkdjfadl;fkjsa;dlf

SPIRITS?

but tab isn’t how that works here

god bless the internet i have NO IDEA what language you’re using but search results sure do take two!!!

really just imagining Aurelius walking in and droping that in … whatever this is

: “… the … internet?”

ok so our good friend cuppa once ran this game called “West of the X-Zone” which was set in… like, the HUD area for kingdom hearts more or less????

and normally on IRC we had a main channel were people talk and leave OOC comments and shit and then nother channel or three we Actually Ran Games In

Hachi you have 0 right to be this … this

but as Part Of The Bit of running this “oops fell into the void between worlds” thing, she decided to Run The Game In The Main Channel

and, of course, this ment that frequently people would accidentally OOC chatter in there, or they’re start talking after signing in not knowing a session was on

and every time they’d be like brushes away some weird passing spirit speaking in tongues that just got spirited away into the void hub**

and any time after that SPIRITS is just shorthand / in joke-reference to someone fucking up their ooc chatter, and it’s funnier the more out of context it is

I’m just throwin’ haymakers and hay is getting MAKED

aaah gotcha

but also very same teak lmao

: assuming he has a pulse point*

blood! just like what his human heart would pump

just imagining Aury rolling up with his keg and his tiny cup and his sunglasses being like “HEY SO WHAT’S UP”

lil’ bit of sunscreen on his nose

: “IDK we’re making a plan to … seduce you? not sure!”

im glad CK is the one that showed up

that way i dont have to answer questions like “why the fuck was he drinking ale with a sake cup”

oh man I didn’t realize it was a sake cup I thought it was either a teacup or a very small like. drinking horn

oh yeah no 100% sake cup

love that for you

ok but is it the small shot-glass sake cup or was it the wide sake dish cup

wide dish cup

ok well I hope you’re not too drunk yet buddy

also man theme parks wish they had a roller coaster as wild as the one salma been on this past Not-Even-A-Week-Yet

I feel like I made the mistake of playing sexy chicken with hachi and now I’m in danger

you were playing sexy chicken with someone who cut their brakes

Awoken…. more like… awokened with morning wood…….. no i gotta workshop this one a little more

he’s trying to assert control, get ‘im

I keep wanting to say “gay chicken” but this is definitionally not really gay. so. sexy chicken.

but if you did all this for Salme’s blood she’s going to hunt you down when you could have just asked.

it’s really funny tho since i feel like i can kinda see salma thought process here where she’s like ‘ok they’ve both just been messing with me for laughs, but i can turn the tables because there’s no way someone this pretty actually wants my plain pathetic ass’ and then oops called that one real wrong huh

… dude stop cold reading my character like that

:3

she also thought it was maybe a little genuine which is why she maybe went to talk with a certain shitty fox after being really upset and considering how pear shaped that went then she decided “ope nope nevermind it was Just A Joke” and then. Fucking hachi.

… though you think awoken’s pretty?

Some Would Argue,

Doth He Protest Too Much

is there anything else you’d like to do here, hachi, or would you like to wind down? I was GOING to use the “just ask” and ask some pointed questions but they’re tonally wrong here now

I’m good for winding down, opportunities will always arise to aim lethal questions

winding down, fading out, what have you

all right. done.

whelp lmfao that happened

very fun I had a great time. 1 annoying boyfriend acquired (who may or may not be a vampire?)

gg, re

re?

rematch

ahhhh

usually it’s “gg no re” to signify “I won but don’t want a rematch because I’m salty/don’t think I’d win again”

but awoken fears no person and feels no pain

lmfao

only his memories and his past

: visibly flinches**

:3

and he just seduced(?) a character who’s all about memories. gee willikers

WONDER IF THAT WILL EVER BE THEMATICALLY RELEVANT

:

Yeah it’s going to be Fun

gay

yeah that’s us buddy

:)

:)

honestly I half expected to get home from errands and see 5 new increasingly bonkers scenes

hahahahah

awoken is pacing himself, clearly
