Scene Archives

oh wow you REALLY dig this one

i was curious if queueing Actually Worked and it’s fairly short (in addition to Good)

i need you all to understand that i’m working on the universe’s stupidest feature for the website

Scientists said we had already done the dumbest thing possible,

but they were wrong. there was yet another previously unexplored avenue available to Be A Huge Dumbass

the palimpsest is actually delicate layers of complete horseshit one after the other

it sure is

My Power Grows

You having 7 arete is the scariest fucking thing

also I have no idea what you go those 2 for, and that is also Terrifying

hahah

you know what ONE of them is for actually but the other, truely a mystery

Yes I did have a strong supposition about 1 but the other I suspect has to do with breaking the bullshit sound barrier

it’s anyone’s guess really not even i know!

SCENE SCENE SCENE SCENE

SAY THAT FUCKING SAGE’S NAME

:O

fdsajhfdagtdfdg

anyway that sounds like a good plan in general

the children yern for good plans

ye. <3

Bad Timing, King

maybe next cycle…!

pal-king has a different role to play

tsem is clearly more up on extradimensional nonsense

Do Not Turn The Overseerer Into A Walking Stick

(ps forgot to close out the other one)

someone pet that wolf

I’m just resigning myself to him being sad. Forever. -laughs-

-grumbles- Great writing, Padfoot, you just used the word “fear” three times in one paragraph.

wolf is a cool guy ‘cause he keeps us grounded and honest while the other weirdos are running around going ‘oh dope i got synesthesia when we died :D’

when there’s more than one taxi it’s parataxis

sorry going to immediately expire at ‘oh dope i got synesthesia when we died :D’

JUMPSCARE

I think that’s probably scene-end there?

oh shit I missed it!

oh huh that one’s really similar to altan arslan too, wonder if ALL the PC songs are like that but also surely not…?

Hey, mine’s in Ukrainian, I don’t know what you’re talking about. ;)

haha

it’s hard to imagine the samudra guys with chanty poundy drums at least

haha

(i can see poundy drums for CK too, maybe, though probably not for Dreamer…? Mu people could have ‘em i suppose but i’m guessing no on Awoken too)

And just so people can note the similarities…

hmhmhm

(I have been SO excited to eventually unleash Wolf’s song, and I am both bemused and laughing my ass off that the most appropriate first “release” of it…was when half the cast wasn’t around.)

:D

It was definitely a good time for it

Swear to god, that was the best writing I’ve done since GnK.

I’ve definitely been playing it that the green-font is Wolf speaking with Intent, for the most part.

As opposed to “just” talking.

yeah!

Wolf is still watched over by the Beating-Heart after taking over the Monster’s slot, right?

awesome

teak why is the node for wolf’s theme not displaying the name :(

yeah it’s definitely there and as far as i can tell no weird spaces or anything…? huh

change name to dddd, displays fine. change back to song title… continues to display as dddd?????

and now empty again

utterly baffling

what the fuck?

oh my god

it’s really embarrassing

use ’ instead of ‘ for something that needs an apostrophe for the time being, it’s not escaping correctly

oh fuck off smartquotes nobody asked you

gggggggg

lololol

I mean I think a couple times I’ve thought it would be useful to say “hey, don’t make this a smart quote” but I can’t remember when/why

I’m real proud of that opener, making Big Character Decisions

Just pretend that’s the thing, lol

: “Hey Dragon, can I use gnosis like magic Adderall?”

I mean, it feels very Pellucid!

Also as a certified prescribed-Adderall person sometimes you decide it’s gotta be a meds day

Blue gnosis feels like yeah, that’s exactly a thing it should do

I’m just constantly more irreverent than I should be

: “No effects”? Fuck, I’ve been playing too much Magic lately

No regrets though

Oh for sure, it’s just wild to me that my Flourishing has a higher die tier than my Pellucid lol

Crossing my fingers I might be able to change that with this investigation but we’ll see how kind you’ve programmed the RNG generator to be today

<3

OTTEN

… it’s Almachdata, right? I keep being afraid of spelling it wrong

alma-chad-ta

Mother Fucker

You are a linguistic sadist

I will continue to politely refer to this one as “the green planet”

huh sometimes the program does not scroll down properly and I have no idea why (maybe related to being open in the background…?)

Mine is doing that too, sometimes it’s not auto-scrolling but it’s still marking it as read so it’s not obvious there’s a new message? And I keep having to manually scroll down to see if something’s there

also it’s fucked up that I went from “this sure is an alphabet soup word” to “oh, okay, 100% never miss” after hachi went ‘yeah it’s alma chad ta’

Like just now it jumped me down after I entered my message but until then I had no idea you sent a second message

lolf ice

It’s on mobile

im absolutely still on desk top at least (and was sort of reading the scene out of the corner of my eye while me and fue were grinding out varient dungeon easy mode clears so it stuck out more when it stopped scrolling automatically >_>)

Oh so it’s all platforms? Wild

Or at least multi-platform

Dangit

So close

yeah did it again, the ⁂ line displayed fine then… nothing, but eventually it’s like “no way teak hasn’t hit enter in the last 10 minutes…” and then sure enough stuff hidden below lol

very odd

i wonder if the program being open but not on top somehow makes it think it’s in backscroll…???

And responding in kind!

Why did that decription genuinely make me cry tho

I’m so happy to have that hunch validated

O t t e r

I appreciate you for that

10/10 line there

Real

Oh I meant to Teak’s thing. Aww, thanks!

Wow

Yeah!!

HEY TELL ME ABOUT YOUR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S BELIEFS

In which I am who I’ve always been

THI IS SOME lore

i mean

this is some LORE

And scene!

lil guy D:

Thank you for running it! What a joy! Always a happy day when I get to facilitate a lore dump

just gonna poker face my way through that monologue….

but… is this YOUR story???

uh, yeah? who’s else would it be

good question

also <salme> “oh this guy is INSANE insane”

it’s okay she’s like “I’m here to help you realize your dreams boo”

: “Going to get Aury his bloody revenge” (That Aurelius does not want) “Going to murder the Architect for what he did for Wolf” (Wolf can murder him himself) “Gonna make you the MC of your story if that’s what you want.”

she’s a team player!

: “I am the hero” that’s why he gets the girl!

and the guy!

and maybe that other guy!

possibly the robot?

the kushtaka seems taken but.

#ClanGoals

unrelatedly, “Hoist the Sword With Pride In The Heart” is a very specific song name reference

he says without a link

google is free

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUIChwIUBBc

anyway that’s an 🙧 from him

was this the final boss theme?

or post game

it was actually the regular stratum boss music for EO3 (amped up for nexus obviously, but)

aha

this mix is nutso

what in the world is starlighting you

Fate

: “ The Empty Space - When dealing with complete unknowns, unnatural phenomena, existential dread, or Fate.”

ah existential dread ok

hahahaha

THIS PAIR SEEMS DANGEROUS ALSO

awoken + anyone = a form of Dangerous Ideas Crew

…………………………………

lmao i guess im not doing that first

:3c

Sorry

sorry not sorry!!

probably you’re the only one who’ll read this Ice so it’ll still be a surprise

hahah

true i’ll get some of the people in the session

lookit me pulling out all my tricks for interpersonal beats

the narration is no longer in the driver’s seat

also right now I am having a big [gpu fan kicking on] moment

you’re … welcome?

damn if only I had broken my neck earlier

also salme professor foxy expects a report on why your voiced was tinged with void and not fire when envoking burning gnosis by next class

Will do, but are you sure you want to commit to “Professor Foxy” because it can and it Will be used against you.

and it’s not void

it’s truth.

these genes aren’t filling themselves out

dat’s why I got this thicc butt

starting to feel like I need to be the auspice this ain’t good for fate

:3

also I hit what I was aiming for

literally took a shot not really knowing what was going to happen but I did it anyway

the real question is why are you psychos doing this right before samudra D:

iim so sorry otter

oh that’s a good point better the initial spark here than there, regardless of what smolders afterwards

some people make reasonable inquiries based on logic and theories. I’m just firing off to see what happens

: “I already said I wanted Aury too, what more do you want”

: “WHO MORE”

: “three’s a crowd” “yeah exactly” “???” “???”

well ice after this we can do another late-night unhinged scene with aury if he’s feeling left out

lol

that’s not a ‘no’ :3c

on the one hand,

otoh i KIND of want to [Raise The Stakes] first

does NOT say “I knew one would be about memories”

:P

and [Raise The Stakes] in what way? creating your gummi ship and breaking the stupidity sound barrier?

yeah

it’ll be eyes opening

oh I bet it will be

aaah i want to skip past friday nothing interesting happens on fridays anyway

honestly it’s fun to see iceman icecold icecylee all excited to have his cool lil moment

god im not even sure it’s going to be cool

i just Need to Unleash it

it’s going to be cool

I beleaf this

remember how confident you were in this believe, at this time, when the time comes

look. the more and more you try to downplay it, the harder salme is going to buy in and MAKE it cool

like

that’s her whole … thing

hahah

sweet pea Horny Plant I guess

awoken i think your plants got depression too

he’s just a silly li’l guy (major depressive disorder)

it means they knew you were a gonner!!! or you watched the end of the world happen. ONE OF THOSE TWO. excited to find out which

boy howdy so am I :’D

awoken, realizing he was in full gremlin mode the first two days as a coping mechanism, as the :’D intensifies

eventually, “Thinking gave me stress, so I stopped doing that”

fjdklafjlds;fjlask;fjasl

himbo awoken coping era go

i thought almachadta stories would be about LESSONS TO TEACH THE YOUNG, like looking out for traps or signs of giant boars and maybe the occasional moral quandry

not

ice you GOTTA teach me how to kill god come on she has a whole hit list at this point

: “oh yeah if you’re too hot god will SMITE YOU”

what the fuck is going on with you hillbillies!

almachadta is about grief

sorry

i dont think u have the technology required to kill a god tbh tbh

icecylee I will find you and I will murder you don’t think I won’t

YOU NEED A LARGE, HIGHLY SPECIFIC KIND OF A GUN. AND FOUR HANDS

YOU AINT GOT NEITHER OF THOSE

also: <guy who hasn’t read enough pre-christian mythology to know how nonsensical it is> “i thought almachadta stories would be about LESSONS TO TEACH THE YOUNG, like looking out for traps or signs of giant boars and maybe the occasional moral quandry”

I’M KARKAT I’M YELLING

you guys dont have enough organized war to be greek or roman tho what do you want from me :(

arjuna let it consume him but i’m built different

(also I was actually thinking about fairy tells and nursey rimes not mythology anyway lol)

(FAIRY TELLS AND NURSEY RIMES)

WAIT NO

GO BACK

UNSEE THAT

now see:

shit i can’t spell need to look it up

oh now he uses spellcheck

no it’s important to spell it right this time

and it’s also a stupid word

I mean most fairy tales and nursery rhymes are like. 16th century at the earliest

NURSERY RHIZOMES

also yeah I did crib that from the story of hyacinth but you think the ancient celts were telling coherent stories?

ok continue as you were

okay nursery rhizomes do go pretty hard

also does the beast have organized warfare? it seems like it’d be more medieval “13 dudes and his best friend godfrey” kinda shit

top tier pest control services tho

imagine trying to go to war with SQ, lol, lmao

i’m not letting go of ‘fairy tells and nursey rimes’ no matter how good that portmanteau is

Fair Enough

: “let her watch” is SQ a fujo

yeah you aren’t sing museing of the wrath of achilles either, backwater motherfucker

: “a certain energy”

am I going to have to fight her for Aurelius’ hand?

HAVE ANY OF US USED THE WORD WAR BEFORE

IC

mu, probably

they seemed fucked up enough for it

i shuold use it even if it’s like, strictly a Valais concept

Mu does not war it simply fufills the mandate of heaven

valais wars tho FUCK THE UNDEAD (with wood stakes)

:D

wait the second time not the first?

actually you can probably see your secret logs

oh it was in the second one okay

extremely lmao at how many false positives war procs

but also HOLY SHIT being also to search more than one log at a time

bro we just talked her into it what are you doing!!!

hahahahahah could you imagine “oh … yeah you’re super right actually let’s not”

I CAN IMAGINE

this is literally what awoken was going to say before salme busted out the speech at the altar

sorr

don’t be, it was a great speech and it’s going to allow me very specific critical hits

should I be concerned about that?

WHO KNOWS

you survived yours

so far

it’s the road less travelled

why are you bleeding out?

hachi don’t murder the GM then we can’t play the game

I won’t -murder- them just keep them in a state of shock

shamble! shamble!

mfw you’re putting alyssum in her hair instead of elysium, what are you even doing awoken

I would be too tempted to put disco elysium in there and it would jsut get really weird

SEE THIS IS THE KIND OF SHIT I SAY WHEN I READ SCENES do you understand how insane it was you were worried about saying ANYTHING ELSE AT ALL

disco elysium

also valid

huh?

just gentling ribbing you while also poking fun at myself

Disco Elysium is the name of a very popular videogame with a unique, striking narrative and, unrelatedly, ice is conflating ‘alyssum’ and ‘elysium’ (though probably just from the greek afterlife) because he is being Silly

I didn’t know if you were ribbing me or hachi! and I was worried I was accidentally being a sex criminal at a guy I don’t know!

yeah look what happened last time you did that

lolf

the last time I got confused about who ice I was addressing, the last time I worried about being a sex pest, or a secret third option?

the second option

oh well. it worked out?

CURLED UP IN A SUNBEAM

pretty well

probably not because of that tho

(also hachi I do know what disco elysium is. it’s even on my to-play list. it does make me wonder what worlds have a concept of “disco” though.)

(oh shit)

valais is disco

valais is incredibly disco

beast is post disco

no one else has touched upon disco

samudra is house trance

(sanctuary DESPERATELY wishes it was disco, but is decidedly not)

yeah valaïs is disco

sanctuary is mozart (derogatory)

hahaha

hahah

honestly you should write dog dad a song. he deserves one.

Valaïs Careless Whisper.mp3

if Then, I’ll Curl Up in a Sunbeam! isn’t his song I will eat a hotdog

badri’s song is just your song but with shittier bitrate

hahahahah

djjajfjakf badri’s song being my song does … Not fit, imo, but

funny joke

It’s the Sword-Saint’s song!!! he’s just on cassette instead of CD

crunchy live cover on limewire I think

badri does smell like a limewire user

that’s how we p2p share music here. probably through like. rootwire. rhizome wire. idk someone else can be clever about it.

hahahahaha

music illegally installed via rootkit

there it is hahahahah

thank you ice that’s a good one (conceded partly out of amiration, partly out of exhaustion)

<3

<3

you ready for me to cannonball this dialogue

HI DOG DAD

yes go for it

I just HAD to get that line in

are you legally allowed to call your dad that, damn

he’s not legally adopted her! she was his first Sad Orphan Project but he got to her too late to fix her personality flaws!

: “too late, this one’s too bad, can’t PROPERLY father it, gotta half ass it instead” tihngs are falling into place……………….

you guys told her to be herself! she’s like “yikes @ self” but you told her to do it.

: “well it’s a good thing there’s gonna be no more sword saints because the reputation a’int coming back after this one”

it’s fine, it’s fine, we’re here we’ll clean it up in post

this is why she was PRETENDING to be a better person.

badri is shaking apart with alarming alacrity

oh yeah?

if he didn’t want to get dunked on he shouldn’t have chosen this particular goblin as his successor

perhaps we were not keeping as good of an eye on him in the markets as we thought

perhaps we were not

it’s okay Salme has heard. many of these. it haunted her. she asked the mask. the mask told her.

THE RETCON hands raised in cartoonish despair emoji

SPIRITS

Icecylee don’t accidentially OOC post in an Awoken/Salme scene. DC: Impossible

I DIDN’T ACTUALLY

the site ate itself

hmmm

for a good couple of minutes, if it put it in the wrong channel that wasn’t through anything I did lol

I figured it did

for a good couple of minutes, if it put it in the wrong channel that wasn’t through anything I did lol

oh fine

oh i wonder if it double posted and the second post went through with the attempted channel switch which did not register or if something weird happened in the 2~3 minutes the UI would load but not the chat itself lol

thank you for running SALME and TEAKWOOD

:D

that was excellent

good on multiple levels. yes.

says the Nerd Tsar

You absolute shitposter, well done

This dice roller can go jump

maybe it IS huge messages that don’t force it to scroll, that’s weird as shit

oh my goodness I got even more to catch up on before session start lol

halp

(these are cries of joy)

Just a robot, talking to a tree. We find out robot is 120 years old and Reibello sucks at dice.

OH YEAH i also

noticed something funny about the infinity check btw

remind me to tell you about it after i do something else instead lmao

oh?

god I have really fallen off lol

yeah I think i know the Intended cheat but i’m doing a much dumber one

Just like dinner, it’s a wrap

brb bio

We return

I’m here

dont forget to close the other one

I’m also here! Just caught up on Unua’s scene

FUN FACT it will stay open when closed until you tab out of the channel! (also archives) (but duly noted, wasn’t sure if it was intentional or you just forgot to do it since you hide more channels that don’t have notifs by default)

same

ready to experiences Stupidity

hmm ok got about half the reservations checked in, which is around what I expected

fascinating.

Loops come in fives, apparently

lmao It Keeps Happening

HAHAHAHA

squint

I hope the next one is three

I Warned You About The Stairs, Bro

same

<3 archie

Now we have to wait it out and see what happens though

FOR SCIENCE

is dog dad still with me/us, dragon?

WAIT IT WENT TO TWO?

I mean, it has to be variable, it was programmed?

runs

heyo!

two again

ice quick question is aury there or should I pack him some brekky

: points at you gay.

its never a bad decisions to stash more food away like a squirrel

there will always be two sanctuarys playing

strong bad voice “No two Sanctuaries are not on fire”

I love this song but it IS getting rather old after…this many plays… -embarrassed look-

lmao both ice and I wrote Centerlight

yeah that was pretty funny we did it at the same time

love to share the braincell

gay

how i queue cancel and get my 260 frames back

only TEAK has the BRAINS to rule LYLAT

ahahaha

I think I’m honestly just going to play it that Wolf is SO…who he is…that he completely has no idea about the relational Escapades happening around him.

if you don’t know about it it can’t hurt you (until it blows up)

…why do I keep making such relentlessly ace characters…?

HIGH FIVE

BEEP BOOP ROBOT

errybody ace until the king comes around

and then they’re… blackjack…?

Oh, got a thing for trees covered in paper?

crumples up paper, tosses it into the wastebin

so they can hit that, i see the vision

awoken did shake his little booty in front of wolf last group session and he didn’t even notice it was p. funny

Wait, he did? I didn’t notice! -chagrined-

booty booty booty

Hiiiiiii <3

Fennnnnnnnnnnnn

wolf :(

Why the sadface? -headtilt-

just the description of “like a dog that didn’t get the attention it wanted” was really cute and sad

Hahah, awww

Don’t feel too sorry, he was just disappointed that he didn’t get to be smug at Aury.

hahahahaha

Archie only has room for one thought at a time this early in the morning and it went “food” and then “swifts!!!”

‘ferrets with built in shock absorbers and auto adjust to the tilt of your body’ ‘wonder if you could surf on ‘em…’ was the line of thought that lead me here, obviously

This is a good experiment. Don’t forget the goggles.

Definitetly On

Hellllll yeah

please make him roll to not fall on his butt. please make him roll to not fall on his butt.

are you saying you DON’T have faith in your superior ferret technology

Listen, as much as I love watching bad things happen, I want this to be cool enough that someone has to draw it :D

honestly I would kill to see art done of the swifts.

same

if it wasn’t clear, Archie Really Likes Em

if I could draw animals that weren’t 1. cats 2. dolphins, by a sixth grader’s understanding of dolphins, I would try, but alas.

God, I want a piece of the Wolf and the Saint’s Wild Ride

right!

100%

(Archie Steals A Swift)

Archie would never do such a thing

Archie uses his kushtaka wiles to LURE a swift to samudra

but it goes of its own free will

he should tho

Encouraging Bad Ideas

Encouraging Bad Ideas is just “Paying it forward to myself as a GM”

This is why y’all need Archie’s Responsibility Talk later

I don’t think it would be a bad idea unless they like. Can’t survive on Samudra?

they have free will! let the swifts make their own choices.

I’m envisioning archie in front of a blackboard and everyone else in student desks

Archie teaching a class of swifts

The rest of us have absconded

smoking on the rooftop

Salme would listen! She’d. Maybe not be the best student, but she’d be there!

Sounds like someone still in the clutches of grad school

And Wolf would NEVER skip class, even if it was entirely incomprehensible. It would be…rude.

Unua probably wouldn’t, but Reibello is the character inthis channel :D

Just imagining Wolf sitting there, staring ever more blankly into the middle distance but unwilling to leave as Archie flips the chalkboard over to the other side and begins writing more theorems or w/e.

actually, we speak the same language but do we use the same writing systems?

Guess we’ll find out!

My theory is “yes, but with minor deviations.”

Oh god. He WOULD be. Fuck my life.

Does that make Unua an exchange student, or just the school’s tech project?

he sure would

My guess for convenience would be yes because there’s been written information here in Almachadta that we’ve all been able to read, right? Like the in-universe rumor map was in a universally understood written language

LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHA

The Dutiful Class President who everyone is either terrified of, has a crush on, or both, and he’s entirely unaware of BOTH things.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

hahahahahahah

holy shit that was a great laugh

I feel like Awoken is the transfer student. No one knows where he’s from. He has a different accent every day.

Yeeeep. Aury’s, like, that one Delinquent With a Heart of Gold who also, like…doesn’t get kicked out BECAUSE he actually passes his tests with 100s.

‘only shows up to class when he wants, still aces everything’

:)

Yeah Aury is for sure the fucking. “This kid is a delinquent” but then you realize he’s top in the class.

I thought Wolf and Unua were the ones who ace everything?

gahahahah

ahahah

-facefaults-

I’m trying to figure out if Unua IS the computing club’s experiment or something else.

… no

wolf is certainly Trying His Best

refuse.

Wolf is Diligence Incarnate, yes.

DOES archie go home. is archie in all the clubs.

He’s not actually the smartest kid in the class but he turns in every damn assignment ahead of time and does ALL the extra credit.

yeah that checks out

Archie sleeps in a fold out cot in one of the labs

He has a day planner that’s as big as a textbook, I think.

not to invoke That Franchise, but if Samudra ever developed a time turner, he’d probably be the first person they’d give it to because he’s who’d make the most use of it

a time turner and cocaine

Now it’s an adventuring PARTY

hahaha

nah, you gotta control your thoughts too much on Samudra for cocaine. Honestly I feel like there’s probably a relatively strong taboo against most forms of intoxication there because it makes you less able to control your thinking

-snorts- Wolf is that kid who has one sip of one Bud Light and is /drunk/

also i know you asked about the wording of a Special Phrase for a reason yesterday teakwood so deploy it when ready…………………………

Cocaine is absolutely Beast-made

Almachadta would also track tbh

Valais is bath salts

Pads remind me to tell you the story of my brother drinking sometime

I feel like adderall has to exist on samudra

oh sure

confirmed - Archie has pellucid gnosis adderall

on almachadta it’s shrooms come on

Mu is prohibition :skull:

Mu has a bunch of straight edge kin who say they get high off the Absent God or whatever the fuck his name is

Fucking Kin youth group lol

Mu has church summer camps

hahahahah

Mu has so many church summer camps

Which, by proxy, means it has the most kids that play acoustic guitar real badly

ukelele

XD

: “if i hear one more Creed cover I’m gonna hurl”

-tries not to look over at his full collection of Creed CDs…-

: “You are my Prince of Peace and I will live my life for Mu”

asjdfklajlds;fasdjklfjasl;d we hit Mu and “Higher” just gets revealed on the soundtrack

hahaha

brb getting a guitar and my mic from upstairs, teak you know what to do

You know, I keep forgetting that I want to change one of my techne, but.

Ah shit, I should have looked for an opportunity to fail more dice rolls

…I cannot roll good when I WANT to, to save my life.

Archie’s greatest superpower: drawing five geometrically perfect circles digging a stick through the ground

A THUMBS UP oh my god

Fucking Han Solo over here

ldsfjasldfjas;dlfkalds;f Archie.

High school AU someone confesses her love to Aurelius behind the school and he goes “nice.”

Wolf and Aury different flavors of completely unavailable

Ouran High School Host Club but they’re all clueless.

hhahaha

…how’s that different than original Ouran?

POINT

wdym that was a confusing responce it was nice to hear :(

…says the person who’s written some kinky Ouran fanfic…

I used to collect signatures from the cast on my box set of the DVDs at ACEN

OOPS TENE BROS MISCLICK

I WANT THE SPARKLE VOICE

> that you would notice if he weren’t so fond of talking in general (lol)

the tene bros

…I am DYING at that icon.

behold, my beautiful OC (do not steal)

SECRET OF MANA?????

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

I

Cannnot breathe

Love me some MS PAint

what the fuck does AF mean?

AureliusFans

Yeah I don’t understand a good amount of what’s happening here but I love it

that’s a disc 2 song

it sure is

It is, it’s also a lofi remix of Altan Arslan

is this a fucking easy listening cool jazz version of Altan arslan

AF stands for “Artifact”

IT SURE IS

Hachi you good?

LOL

I’m processing

I did, that’s why I’m dying over here

LMAO i missed that initially

you fuckin nerd <3

nah there’s no trench coat he’s naked

dude this mix is so much fucking better than it was in my head too A+++ lol

This is both so awesome and the most, like…smooth-jazz-elevator-seduction bullshit and I’m dying

honestly I’m waiting for the sax solo

Same!

also good job on catching the secret of mana game over screen in there Kuz lol

(and also, start of game which is probably the easier catch)

I thought so!

I honestly never played it but somehow those words just got embedded deep in my memory

I looked it up to make sure I was right because I couldn’t believe I remembered it

hahah

I think I’ve played through Secret of Mana at least 3 times. xD I reeeeally wanna replay Secret of Evermore.

Ice, you’re commentating in the wrong channel, I think…?

lol

inevitable

augh the channel jumped on me lol

site bug was fucking foreshadowing

: “the channel jumped on me”

It usually flickers when it does that but i didn’t notice that time

Very Spanish way of explaining it. Big fan.

sniff him Wolf. what does he smell like?

Yes, but is the scent DIFFERENT?

yes!

aurelius probably does not have lavender shampoo

yet

aurelius probably doesn’t know what lavender is

yet

okay gang be real

Whose AIM screenname was closest to Angel of Darkness back in the day

LAUGHING

MORE

Dragon I’m rolling pellucid to see if Salme can stop laughing give me a DC

RUDE

Appropriate though

i’m laughing too hard to get a word in edgewise, y’all are a delight

I love how there’s, like, a BILLION things that could happen to Wolf and he wouldn’t even get his hair ruffled–like nearly being eaten by a giant wyrm or something–but this edgelord monstrosity has just done him in.

gahahahah

He’s absolutely less freaked out about the /giant golden door to liminal space/ than he is about the fact that suddenly Aurelius isn’t Aurelius and instead is someone who looks like a character I would have had on Gaia Online in 2012.

Accurate

I would’ve gone with 2002 nerd forums, but yeah, that’s about right

Created In 2006 so like Close Enough really

I didn’t go for weird hair color so much as weird eye color, but there were wings, okay?

2006 Neopets RP forums

Actually, wait, I’m thinking fucking 2007, wtf

I wasn’t on Gaia Online in fucking 2012

Time is hard when we get old, brother

lol Archie and Wolf having opposite reactions there

OH COME ON I WANT FONTS

:3

I figured it out first

Well, I assume it works similar to green font

I taunted/perhaps helped Ice? IDK. I don’t know if my hints helped or he did it himself.

the last hint made everything click very fast lol

Testing a theory…

nope it’s not that. hmm

brb sec

told you so

yee, we’re gonna end in front of the portal right?

:P

like I WANT an explanation, but I also don’t want to hold the action up while we wait for fucking Icecylee to lore dump

this session is looking to be almost exclusively a lore dump because once we open the door back to the void it’ll be Archie’s turn to give you Samudra Safety Tips

(I’m not mad at ice I’ve just decided “Fucking Icecylee” is his full name)

Way to doxx my guy

:3

good boy Hachi

My thinking OOC is that this is gonna be our last session before Samudra so basically it’s either we get the lore here in the group scene or it has to come out in a side scene before we go through the portal because this is Definitely Not Gonna Fly In Samudra

Or I guess technically we could discuss it in the Void instead of in Almachadta but I don’t think it ultimately matters much? Unless we want Tsem to not hear

Definitely Not Gonna Fly

we want Tsem to roll a Sanity check

lmao

lolf

someone broke reality

earlier

o

also I can’t believe you let fucking icecylee change his constellation

he didn’t

aurelius’ is still the golden lion :)

gee icecylee how come your mom lets you have two constellations

fucking excellent

(to be clear: I have no idea what is going on here either, I am just guessing based on conversational beats and also some research)

I’m totally lost, but Wolf would be too, so that’s fine.

My brain doesn’t go in the kind of twisty paths I need to make sense of Ice most of the time. I’m very…straight lines. -laughs-

Jorule’s shoes aren’t big enough for KH

Don’t tempt him, Cat.

hahahah

fosjadkfas;ldjflsd

uh huh

thumbs up, but seriously

it’d be really easy to read a thumbs up as sarcastic there!

For those keeping score at home, starting the sesh a half bottle of wine in was not in fact, the move this week

HAHAHAHAHHA Reibello has a Bad Time

not a bad time

Just a “I don’t have a brain time”

I’m still laughing a lot, but oh man, I am not updating the conspiracy board, and I probably should be

Bold of you to assume I can read

my only regret is i’m not sitting across a table from hachi to watch his facial reactions in response to every new sentence

I love how everyone else uses their textual colors for cool shit and I seem to use it to … yell at people.

As a certified accent person, some accents are just used for yelling

when it's like this it's like he has shifted from a socal surfer accent to a mid-west accent for aurelius’ specifically

I’m sorry I didn’t mean to start Relationship drama wtf

ahaha

-dryly- and I don’t mean for Wolf to be sad, but here we are

lolf

awoken is glad he followed that statement up with something else because.

we almost did have a fucking rite

WOLF FUCK COUNT AT 4

awoken feeling like he has to reassert himself in the presence of another MC

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

you even both have anime boy colored hair

lol

pffffffffffffffffff

I’m getting out of the blast zone for this one

PROPHECY

That’s almost worth building the ability to rename scenes

lmao

also remember when i said This Will Be Dumb and you went I’m Sure It Will Be Cool, just, curious how we’re feeling now, on the other side of things lol

it was super cool in the dumbest fucking way possible

so gj

<3

i spend a whole 3 minutes on that mspaint drawing…. cherish it

is that what jorule looked like when you came up with that in like, what, high school?

what the fuck is this train

I need a minute to process it

… how is THAT stupider

I love it so much aaaaa

SORT OF, it’s basically similar vibes tho it has been updated a few times to account for setting shifts

(and he just left Spaaaaaace! so i opted for a Maximum Chuuni loadout)

amazing.

also which one has the socal surfer accent? jorule or aurelius?

jorule for sure

that’s what I thought but I wasn’t sure

THE EDITOR TOOK OVER

amazing

THIS IS A MOTIF OF THE OTHER THING

god you’re really going to make me do covers of this entire soundtrack aren’t you

ahahahahah

yessssss

i do not regret inspiring you to Do This One After All lmao

Wolf is cute

Wolf is indeed very cute

I’m sorry, if YOU were riding in a train with /wings of light/ across the /astral sea/, would you not be in delighted awe? -grins-

especially with this 80s-synthpop-ass music? hell yes

Wolf is very cute, yes! and ditto!

normally yes!

SUDDENLY DUBSTEP HELLO???

though the conductor-in-the-conductor is still a little too whimsical

IMPORTANT QUESTION DOES THE TRAIN STATION HAVE vending machines no wait, shit, hachi what are the low tech vending machines called again auto somethings

automats

yeah those

hahahahaha

gachapon

unrelatedly I adore the concept of automats

for anyone that did not know

makes sense, it’s probably hard to find staff for it

yeah I don’t reckon there’s anyone going all the fuck way out here just to stock up some quick lunch bites

(googling automat) :O

TIL

it sure is

i’m not filling it with my takeout lunch

why is a raven like a writing desk

i dont know hachi, why is a raven like a writing desk?

poe both wrote on them

it’s endemic of a question asked by the mad

moreso than having a relevant answer

!!!!

i was WONDERING where the solitude’s would play

same

this is in conversation with to be aware of deep time right?

and the same fiddly bit as centrelight komrebi?

huh it parsed for me

hahahah

(I was actually going to request if we are going to Keep Doing Morse Code if we could escape it because every parser I try explodes)

I’m cool with everyone knowing it: I’m here. I’m coming. Come meet me, if you know where. I have some people to introduce you to.

I’ll start putting translations in OOC

or actually what parser are you using ice?

this one’s worked for each line https://charactercalculator.com/morse-code-translator/

yeah I’m using the same one

oh wow that one works great

<awoken, soon> “I know you’re all in awe, but please, control yourselves.”

awe-ken

adfoijasdkflas;df

awoken: “i’m going to inspire the sublime in people. it’s just going to happen.”

Can’t Be Helped

LOOK at that hair

It’s Alright, I Guess

long luxurous haired otten

Please Consider It

otter fabio…………………………….

tastemaker awoken

excited to see aurelius rocking a purple wig

im trying to NOT implode samudra

Time To Learn Active Disassociation

sing us a song of hydroponic efficiency

she used to be good at dissociation!

: “just start calculating pi manually”

: “unless that’s what you’re into”

she doesn’t know math!

That’s why we’re going to Samudra

: “smidgen” is an accurate unit of measurement on almachadta

hahaha

hahaha

Otter!

ARCHIE IS SO CUTE AND GOOD

Salme reporting for her voluntary samudran lobotomy

temptation to say Heroes Don’t Do Drugs is real but i think aurelius can read the room enough to know that perhaps now is not the time

gahahaha

is that a … plot point in endwalker?

After we gave the bird depression she brought Mind Rot back to the planet and if you give into despair you turn into a monster

so i mean,

vague gesture at almachadta cast, then samudra

in short, yes

in long, intense feelings of despair/helplessness/others along that line can and was warping people into being apocolyptic monsters that could only thrash about in the throes of lament towards death

ahhhh

well don’t worry that won’t happen! she’s got this!

yeah!!

that’s the spirit

: “damn, he got me”

I do love Salme, who has been a Literal Human Disaster in Very Big Ways Many Times, is STILL less of a hazard than Mr. Specialist Main Character Boy

they probably have experience with teenagers and midlife crises, probably not QUIET as much experience with some dude jumping out of a portal and going “SUP EVERYONE I’M JESUS AND I’M HERE TO SAVE NOT ONLY YOU, BUT ALSO THE WORLD!”

And now there’s the Angel of Death to think about too lol

: “Oh No Having Human Emotions Is A Hazard” said person who is learning to become a person

Ha. Suckers. I have robot emotions

the answer was to replace the heart with a metal heart

This is very funny to me for reasons

ogod you have a person’s heart

ogod that’s the dark secret of unua

dude endjinn are people dont be racist :(

I specifically know I have something in my chest. Teak has made some implications. But I definitely have a heart.

Nah, dark secret worse

I have at least one heart!

Zero Worrying Statements happening

unlock the robot titties

ALSO NO ARCHIE WE SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT THINK ABOUT HIM OVER THERE OH NOOOOO

Presumably only one but I’ve never checked

yeahhhh this is gonna be fun lol, at least three of us represent Significant Cogitohazards

gonna be a lot of “I’d tell you but it’d kill us all”

funny story hunter has an even BIGGER one

don’t worry Salme is SUPER on it she just has to get back to where she started before character development

but is very deliberately not bringing it up until we’re out of samudra lol

thanks for the session! That was fun! Excited to get to Samudra

yes! wonderful!

apologies for driving the bus a little too much; patience is appreciated.

thank you for running teak!! i’m gonna kick you in the balls jorule!!

yes thank you everyone <3

wonderful (horrible) job Fucking Icecylee and Jorule

Excellent job Archie you are Good and Cute and your Naiad BF loves you very much

my favorite part was definitely when hachi’s gears ground to a halt and you could physically seem him internally wrestling with how HARD he wanted to react IC

: “apologies for driving the bus,” she said opposite of the character who turned into The Angel of Darkness and started dripping metaknowledge all over the place

at least I assume

Wooooo thanks for the session

<3 <3 <3

Ty gn

Salme unfortunately enabled the meta-knowledge dripping

people are responsible for their own drippings!!

shit i should use that line in samudra

drip drip

also yeah SOMEONE has to yellow dot and god knows it wasn’t ME today lmao

awoooo

oh that’s interesting, this font looks slightly different in logs. “Is it an italics thing...?“

oh yeah i guess I’m just more used to seeing it in italics lol

are you escaping text with backticks or something?

ah okay

yea

I’m sorry my computer JUST started playing this while I was getting a granola bar and I almost died laughing

hahahaha

oh right only teak can actually make new scenes despite the button being there

that button is such a tease

ps if you were curious there IS a reason why a harp, of all instruments, is the focal one of this song

is it because Jorule’s voice sounds like elegantly strummed harp strings?
