thought she was daggers too for some reason and had to double check since i can’t imagine anything more embarrassing for The Hunter than mixing up who used what weapon type

sdoifjasldk;fsld;jkf

yeah wolf has daggers

she seems like she’d be daggers but nope

mfw the sword-saint uses a sword

would have had to jump out a window and then continue walking into the sea

good news! once you jump out the window I’m pretty sure the sea is Right There

(she does have an off-hand parry dagger but she doesn’t use it as often)

lol CAN we “spar” without invoking a rite? I don’t want to break the world when the dragon isn’t around

a very sword-saint thought,

INTENT is 9/10ths of the Rite Law tho iirc

okay if teak takes objection I’m going to say it’s just really weird idk flirting

i 100% trust the dragon to know the difference between practicing boxing while venting and An Actual Fight, especially with Beast existing

but i can also, easily, imagine salme having no concept of Mild Violence As A Form of Communication as well so lol

(somewhere, awoken’s ears are perking up)

(aosdjfalsdjflskdfjl)

She Knows.

Aurelius Spear -> Pistol+Dagger -> Double Short Swords But Comically Bad Form (made up for it with astounding intuition), Single Dagger -> Staff but used kinda like a club instead of a spear -> Greatsword -> Magic Shotgun -> Jorule Spear -> Harp for those playing along at home wondering if there was an answer sheet available

MAGIC SHOTGUN

ONE HANDED MAGIC SHOTGUN that’s some bullshit

Not only a magic shotgun,

a DOUBLE BARREL ONE,

except one barrel didn’t accept slugs,

and instead had a MAGIC WAND shoved inside it

and was extremely anime biker gang about it all

stunning

salme didn’t ask “what’s a gun” but she DID file that one away

my ears are burning…!!!

yon dread name was envoked an hour yence

yeah I mean for context

oh just his general tenebrousness

I think it was “ Mild Violence As A Form of Communication “

eah

(tho i think i did mention him name when describing my own yankee-esq characters terrible jojo-esq fighting stance b/c gestures at Samudra Awoken)*

lol past your bedtime, and I should wrap this up. I’m trying to think about … I have one more question which is a “idea about a task” question and I’m trying to figure out where to go into it or save it for later

hahhah

what a weird revelation to have after a completely random ass tangent lmao

I’m so sorry this is such a weird scene

weird but not necessarily bad!

god knows I didn’t have ‘why DOES hipshot have a fucking revolver on it anyway’ on my list of Weird Lore Considerations before but it is now

we’re finding out things every day

but yeah i probably should go to bed now lol

sure why not add a GPS function, the pearls probably already know where each other are anyway, ez pz

ez pz

lol okay I think this is an off ramp and you can be freeee

PRETEND I ENDED WITH “they don’t not call me The Hunter for nothin’”

i really wanted to but the moment passed……………………

sleepin’ tho

hahahahaha go to sleep

: “they don’t not call me the Hunter for nothin” that is so many negatives

hunter for nothin’ and the chicks for free

yeeeaaahhhh

φ is especially lovely

ok here!

hello! thank you for coming to Otter Emotions Sabotage Hour (kind)

you’re up

real quick - Salme gave Archie advance notice of this, right? It’s a planned meeting?

yep!

Off-screen asked Caion I think, if she didn’t just grab Archie and ask him

In which if Archie isn’t slightly pedantic about Academy terms and structures he will Simply Perish

lolol it was a catherine brainfart but actually it’s perfect because Salme is nervous as hell

godddddd archie made me tear up

<3

<salme> I’ve never never thought like Flourishing Gnosis really suited me

<also salme> gives the most Flourishing-ass speech you can imagine

Archie: “if you really wanna understand me and let me feel welcome around you, help me fluster my boyfriend”

TRIED AND TRUE

all right caion, your entrance is coming up

your entrance, m’lord

is there anything Salme wants to talk to Caion about while Archie isn’t here? I’m happy to make his being-away-getting-changed break from being in the scene as long or as short as you prefer

hmm no I think she wants to get in 1 or 2 silly comments and that’s about it

cute….

(sneaky otter noises)

I cannot wait to see teak and caion blue screen here

that’s all Salme wanted to get in, so once Caion says whatever he has to say, Archie should make his Dramatic Entrance

: “unnecessarily lithely” is sending me

visualization of Archie’s new look sent in leyeve-react :3c:

: BOLD

love iiiiiiit

Archie, immediately upon exiting Flustering The Boyfriend mode: “ah fuck this is actually wildly inconvenient for lab wear”

haha

idk depends on the experiment

not that kind of experiment

WAIT THE BLUE TEXT ISN’T ALWAYS ITALICS ANYMORE THIS IS FUCKING WITH ME SO BAD

yeah right? But apparently that was never intended behavior

Kinda fucks with me a lil too

i had totally forgot the font wasn’t 100% always italics, even tho we first saw it on the cards hahah

Cute!! Cute cute cute

they are … so cute

and like … actually I think tonally it COULD wait, depending on what feels right for your characters

kk! just want to be clear that that’s her project but it super doesn’t have to happen in this scene because this went somewhere super cute and I don’t want to tonally … make it weird like I am face-up cool with Whatever

I actually OOC don’t fully understand how the word palimpsest has been deployed in this game tbh

Are they, like, memory-crystals, or?

Salme has a literal understanding of the concept I’m pretty sure

but she’s curious how the samudrans think of it

salme <3

:)

<salme> hello, cute science boyfriends. would you like to look at my Creepy Trauma Mask?

cute science boyfriends: sickos.jpg

yeah thank god

she forgot they were weird for a second because they were too cute

: “rootches”

it’s okay it happens

uh lmk if I need to roll for that. I have the logs up but since I didn’t remember of my own volition NOR did I write it down I’m saying I have to work for it?

I mean I mostly do remember things but lmao okay

extremely relatable

meanwhile teakwood, some of us ttrpg to engage in the idle fantasy of what it might be like to ever misremember or be wrong about even the smallest of details,

also wait what was the ancient word for techne, rhizomata????

aha

I realize “lmao okay” sounded sarcastic but I meant mostly laughing @ myself for u letting me cheat at my arbitrary rules

squint. Can’t tell if joke has memed itself into becoming a keystone detail, or if keystone detail was memed into a joke early on. not sure if he wants to know

would guess it was the latter

wait

in either case it definitely makes me talking about memes being dangerous earlier much funnier

are you telling me HYDROPONICS was a fucking techne?

one does not simply engage in some hydroponics without proper research and training

(i think he was saying rhizomata was a word related to hydrophonic, in addition to being an ancient techne, though)

oooooh

i gotta

find an excuse to hear someone mention aether being the ancient word for gnosis, so i can then ask what the ancient words for arete and techne were

Ice, make the angle answer salme’s question

hey Narrator the tablet is now in Salme’s hands, okay? okay

(also did of course)

(also also did)

okay teakwood, is the sfx the ‘linking book sound effect’ entry on this page https://www.voicy.network/official-soundboards/games/myst?utm_medium=www.reddit.com

(you’ve got a reply)

hah

damn

I’m doing my best to stay alert but I’m starting to fade out a little bit, if the scene goes more than the next half hour or so I may need to ask if we can pause it and go back to revisit another time this week to finish it out

yeah

thanks for letting us know though.

fancier!

opening book sound??? https://www.101soundboards.com/boards/76097-myst-soundboard#google_vignette

if that aint it i’m probably not finding it with google lol

of course! Honestly the fact that you were able to put that scene on pause and return to it was a game changer for me personally, I don’t necessarily want IRL needs to dictate pacing too much if it can be helped

Also I have no idea what this attuner is supposed to be or do or look like and I keep trying to volley it up for Teak to describe it lol

wait you want Teak to describe a thing?

and yeah! I think getting a simple answer will be quick and then … Salme might do something really stupid all on her own

yeah no I can definitely stick it out for 20ish more minutes, no problem

SHIT MAN

that’s a 31…

oh thats where we kepts all the 7s and 8s, good to know

being Starlit is the best

I wouldn’t know lol

soylent pearls/endjinn are missing constellation?????????????

I think I would assume fiend engine for pearls?

if I had to make a bald fucking guess

My theory was more that the player characters are aligned closely with specific constellations but that most things in the worlds aren’t and so the fact that pearls are is unique or notable in some way

yeah that makes sense

(i was mostly joking that we are, uh, Missing An Entire Constellation And Its Light, and huh, Weird That Endjinn, This Newly Created People, Have Starlight In Their Cores and :thinking:)

we’re getting Awa in here and wanding him

not like, now, obviously but

I will never be over how YuGiOh-ass of a pun “Endjinn” is

(which kinda falls apart as soon as you remember pearls exist and aren’t new and empty sky wasn’t particularly close by beast EITHER…. but thats jokes for ya)

yeah I’m wrapping it up

unless archie has something he wants to add

I’m good too!

That works for me as an end line! Thanks for the scene!

thank youuuuuu <3

also thank you Teakkkkkk<3

<3

’knows about punctuation but not capitalization or how to use commas’ hm, well, whoever made the mask was CLEARLY from an internet enabled society…………..

CAPITAL LETTERS

greek, just like in my ancients

yeah fascinating that greek seems to be the language of the ancients here

Then, I’ll Curl Up in a Sunbeam!

this mf bitta coded as hell

?

the duelist mask’s general vibe kinda reminds me of one of the BF characters lol

yeah I recognized the name I was asking you to tell me what they were like lol. I realize that was. Not clear.

also ἄλσος, grove. also a nuclear weapons dev mission

teak probably REAL amused by that

anyway bitta was. the most undine/gnome/luna creature that has ever existed. Anything’s Fine, Really, Lets Just Relax And Have Fun. Unless Something’s Threatening Us, Then I Will Become A Devourer Of Worlds To Destroy It.

ahhh

yeah okay I can see that

oijfdslk;asfjdl

SHITTTTTTTTT

okay so

salme, destroyer of (specific) world

I could do a couple other things but also that’s … fuck what a note to end on

what are you feeling, teak?

tilts… head….

what a strange thing to say

<teak> eh, it’ll probably be anticlimactic

<also teak> this

hey ice can jorule get us access to wikipedia?

how else do you think he’s looking up weird ass finish words

I asked if jorule can get us access to wikipedia, not if HE has access to wikipedia

oh uh

no i don’t think

:(

perseus?

one thing for him to look up words on his nonexistant cellphone another thing entirely to give ya’ll SPACE INTERNET

mr tou………….

what does that word mean

is Jorule an android or apple user?

jorule is still using his blackberry i think is the only logical answer

love that for him

I think it was “Salme of the [alsos]”

google implied i should be getting results for tou as word rather than accrynym, but, helpfully, did not provide any

: “accrynym”

SO. IF YOU OPEN A TAB AND CHANGE YOUR NICK,

it does it in the new tab,

but not the old one, until you refresh

dont fix this bug i might want it to exist lmao

SHIT

whats that word Duke said all the time

Providence!!!

I do like how Aurelius isn’t the kind of person to put his class in his nickname, but Jorule absolutely is

jorule didn’t finish his phd for you to NOT see his title

jlfsdj;ds

every time i see teak start typing and then stop i start laughing because i am actually the dumbest player of them all

Fuck Yeah

lmao teak

Obviously

yeah it’s strictly funny b/c i know you had to open a setting menu somewhere and manually hit that button

god bless emoji support

lmao

<3

<3

poor narrtext :(

narrtext was asked one last question

also

what in tarnation

you forgot to escape the ꙮ

oh my god

because it starts with

so a single would parse

lmao ok

HOW LONG HAS THIS SCENE BEEN GOING ON LOL

it’s technically a second one

’technically’ it’s not, because it a’int splittin’ into two in the logs

that got. dumb

it is! the one with archie is a different one

yeah

I’m not talking about the one with archie!!

I know that one concluded

then it’s

still the same scene

clarifying I’m just immensely amused that I had a full sleep in there

but yes still somewhere in the neighborhod of. six. hours

5 1/2

lol do you want to add a fourth part and go until your bedtime? since we’re setting records I guess

no i absolutely do not trust to end that in 40m i know you now

hahahaha

fair enough. though mostly she’s like “hey. mask’s made of stars. also you didn’t tell me you manifested jorule at caion?”

i mean i can see a world in which is is not long

but

DOUBT

yeah the odds, they ain’t high

but

it would be so funny

to have a 4th part

since like:

me earlier: ah yes i will jump in with two or thing really dumb comments and that will be it because it scene is clearly winding down

FOUR HOURS LATER

it was a calculated risk, but man, am i bad at math

: “clearly”

poor narrator-kun was all excited to chat

a chat was definitely had

unfortunately Salme does prioritize based on her heart sometimes and she cares about shitty bird more than she cars about narrator-kun

thats the power of having a name and avatar

no the avatar is not helping

gahaha

this is the character his appearance is loosely based on btw https://www.videogamesprites.net/SeikenDensetsu3/Party/Hawk/

lol Jorule wishes he were that buff

he absolutely is :(

STR/VIT primary stats!!

you literally described him as like

(but like, to this day i still imagine him as an SNES sprite in my head lol)

I described him as wearing an outfit that would make determining muscle or lackthere off difficult at best

you know what

fair

i don’t think i described him as a scrawny ass white boy physically even if that is the kind of energy he brings

I read “younger” and “softer facial features” and “long lavender hair” and went “hmm. significantly smaller”

the fact he is literally a stick figure though doesn’t help

lmao

yeah fair

tho like, Hunter is Sharp as hell

Aurelius: I described him as wearing an outfit that would make determining muscle or lackthere off difficult at best

literally awoken design notes

we’re always iterating on proven design

I also think you said he’s literally permanently 17 and I know most 17 year old boys are inherently Scrawny

well yeah they don’t spend 4 hours a day killing monsters

losers

does jorule?

absolutely

days were Long as Shit and a Lot Of Stuff Happened during them

man having to recalibrate my mental image of angle bird

it’s like if hachi suddenly told me awa was tall

only in the D&D port

?

elves aren’t short

oh because you decided he’s eladrin

weird ass Extra Fey magic elves that can naturally teleport on instinct exist, what ELSE would he possibly be

I am sorry that scene ended up so long when you just meant to make a jape or two T-T

you’re not sorry and you shouldn’t be!!!

I’m maybe a little worried/guilty

though fucking jorule gave me a big emotion so thanks

if i really wanted out i had several opportunities to bounce lol

Your Welcome

and … idk what else would he be. a vampire

(joking he is confirmed to have a heartbeat)

:D

lol well thanks I had fun

even if I’m like “hahaha wow gorl you don’t stop do you”

i did too

<3

<3

also good job remembering to lock up

can u imagine how called out the narrator would have made you if u forgot

salme tries to be responsible!

er

hahaha

sometimes

hiiii hachi <3

a little responsibility, as a treat. to wash down all that weight of the world with

ENTELECHEIA > so this some sort of term that means “actuality”

I am GUESSING that each constellation has at least one ENTELECHEIA (I’m not gonna remember how to spell that) though some probably have more that will allow one to commune with that constellation?

oh yeah i looked that up before saying ‘what a weird thing to have said’ and i stand by that :E

I dyslexically red it as “etentaclelachia”

does that make it different

oh, pronounced “e-TENTACLE-latch-ia”

which I was like “huh not a word”

hahah

meanwhile i’m just throwing shit in google and it hits me with “an Aristotelian philosophical term for the state of complete actualization” and i’m like. WELP. this is indeed a teak campaign

ajfslkfjds;

fun fact: ἄσυλον on the OST is greek for “sanctuary” and is also where our word “asylum” comes from

so we can look forward to that

this bitch gunna shadowbringers us

im so fucking ready for underwater new york (idealized) lets go

i definitely would not have figured out that meant sanctuary b/c im too lazy to try and mtl any of the song titles and that IS exciting tho so thanks for the tip

omg btw

narrator in clear text being like ‘something awful is probably going to happen but i swear im not doing it’

yeah

really funny after me and teo were talking at teak and going “HEY SO ABOUT THOSE SONG TITLES AT THE END OF DISC ONE. AND THE START OF DISC TWO”

I mean something is gonna suck at the end of disc 1

like

real bad

OH did you guys say that? I missed that

or I was not privy to the conversation but yeah

the OST page is A Concern

on voice i think, teo and teak were still talking after other people got off and I just popped in to grab teak for other shit and stuck around since fue was grabbing food at the time any way lol

ost does have a lot of concern tho It True,

but

ooooh yeah I haven’t had the Energy to VC lately

so I missed Secret VC Only Content, tragically

it also has hope, and the unyielding NEED burning deep within my SOUL to know whatever the fuck the context surrounding “Lo-Fi Beats to Violate the Aesthetic Distance To” playing is

oifufalkjdsfl;skfjl;asd

OH

Gahahahahahah I love you goofballs

Alright, I’m around. All I really know is that Wolf’s the one initiating contact, and it needs to be somewhere that’s bubbled.

i thought you implied all the rooms were bubbled anyway

Fair, though…he’s seeking Aury out, so I’m wondering if it’s better to have Ice decide where Aury’s would plausibly be that’s bubbled.

I mean, I guess we could do the baths again but I’m not sure Wolf would have the nerve to be naked AND emotionally open with Aury.

hmm probably just lounging around in the common area or on the roof i think…? and then it’s probably not hard to get somewhere bubbled or activate the library

that’s the best time to be emotionally open

haha

well, you two can have fun with that. -smirks-

Common area works as a starting point, for me.

gonna casually lol when we get to “The 36th Tower, XXXVI”

D’you mind doing the starting scene-set, Ice?

sure unless teak really wants to

Teak appears to be typing…

teak’s got a lot of irons in the fire

note salme currently has the tablet and has been unsuccessfully looking for aury for??? time though if you need it you can assume bird-to-sword-saint communication line led to tablet transmission.

’i would not wish a fishing minigame upon my worst enemy’ ‘LETS FISHING’ the duality of salme’s boyfriends

i didn’t know if you realized the fishing was going to be happening

wolf is cute

oh my god awa where did you get that chair?

the big upside down pyramid fishing goods store, obviously

unless told otherwise I’m assuming liminal bullshit and those items do Not Proc as academy standard

valaïs has a cabelas

Aurelius going full undine in conflict is so funny to me

borrowed them from The Fishing Club Room

the wood yeah is what got me

did I say wood I meant coral

scribble scribble scribble

no it’s better if it’s wood

the cotton is synthetic Deal With It

please leave that slight bit of bafflement

also wolf I’m D Y I N G

<Aurelius> I am completely supine. My spine has turned to water and I am letting every emotion pass through me

<Wolf> trying to be a good mature adult and keeps having to deal with that

you took that directly from r/wolflion

utsog c ufogogst

r/wolflion

hahah

okay but did awa change into a different outfit or is he in the same one

Also, is the site having issues for anyone else? I’m trying to figure out if it’s the lightning storm here or not

I haven’t noticed anything acting strange at least

sites fine for me but I’m on mobile

Lightning storm, got it.

it’s the same one- I at least had the setting-foresight to go “he wouldn’t need a straw hat, there’s no sun”

Just FYI that I might be slow to see posts and respond, then

nod

yeah but would he need a straw hat to set the mood?

possibly!! but “delinquent cares for stray animals” “delinquent seen picking up trash” “delinquent enjoying fishing like an old man” are all tried and true tropes

Yeah, it’s storming here, and lightning like crazy.

this is fair

<awoken> “you don’t need a reason to hate people”

tenebrous

wolf is good and cute

aury is good and cute

k catching up on other scene

yessssss

yeah when we gonna get CK in front of soldier-and-brother and wand THEM

teak is the admin of r/lionwolf

meanwhile, cat is on her hetshipper tumblr enjoying wolf describing aury/salme

wait. salme/aury let’s be real

and teak dude say it. though “shine” is probably the better word

: “just a bit self-absorbed”

I’m

also did Caion pick up on the specific person salme wanted him to wand or is he just trying everyone?

<awoken> “did you assay a broad”

what if its a fish

feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

🪼

rip

I put my face in my hands IRL

to cover a laugh

hahah

Oh my GOD

OH MY GOD

that

no we need that specific noöplankton

awa please that’s our ninth party member

You have to know, btw, Teak, that I absolutely hear the nooooooplankton (I can’t make an umlaut so I just use lots of Os) as the fucking Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell, and that makes it even FUNNIER.

: tenth*

Or maybe the turrets from Portal

If someone doesn’t know what a Tachikoma is I’ll find a clip

also cat on her hetshipper tumblr is added that little convo between caion and awa to her awoken/salme tag

I don’t know what it is but I’m also a horrible monster when it comes to watching video clips

oh god the last line lmao

PLEASE catch the fish noöplankton

oh poor wolf, the reason salme and aury work is that she can just say dumb thoughtless shit too. see, salme just hides she’s a dumbass. only another dumbass can bring it out in her.

(thus both boyfriends being dumbasses, albeit diametrically opposed ones)

when ur at the chuuni factory and one takes all the steel and lightning and fire and the other takes all the glitter and blood and dictionaries

somewhere I feel like there’s a weird group of awoken/caion shippers causing problems for the archie/caion otp-ers

ufzigxjfujj ice

wolf was the fandom bicycle before the samudra arc but now caion is giving him a run for his money

SHIT PADS WHAT A WAY OF SAYING THAT

HOLY SHIIIIIT

yeah

unless that was for something else but

if it was for that then yeah

-blush!-

good. enthusiastic cosigning

trying to think of dumb ship portmanteaus. r/lionwolf was so inspired. there’s obviously other animal options but I feel like awoken just ends up being “azure”

’velvet’ works

though people who ship awaury or aurawa definitely write it like that

: “Aurawa” absolutely sounds like a tumblr ship name.

right??

hahahah

velvet, hachi?

I’m going with lowest common denomintor ship names generally because sanctuary would not have a an intelligent fandom

soft, supple, beautiful, and incredibly strong

…sorry, I have to pause briefly because I cannot write anything serious while this is going on.

I did this to myself, I know.

hahah

also wdym kat you need a very high IQ to understand sanctuary

hachi that’s beautiful and it’s also way too lovely for General Fandom

look the more well-constructed and cerebral a story is the stupider its vast contingent of fans are

Fuck you

LOL

I did not participate but I ꙮbserved Hannibal fandom

wait you have bingo?

oh yeah well I saw the homestuck fandom and I know people go nuts over Weird Lil’ People With Stupid Feelings

and end up writing all sorts of wordy garbo

(said lovingly)

oh yeah i was trying to evoke the rick and morty meme not actually make a statement of any real intent lol

haha

I was also attempting to joke

alas

try again, narrator!!

purring!!!

you made him purr!!!!!!

okay so insert scene where we steal a glass ship and—

–promptly get caught because none of us know how to sail one?

jokes on you i know a guy that sailed one once

pointed stare

: “:3c“

One. ONE of me.

:D

One of me, who helped, instinctively, with someone else leading and a bunch of other ottery helpers

as if that’s ever stopped a group of idiot teenagers from going on a joy ride before (rip your party members)

we have a very musical party!

synthesis would help

also ice if you’re free and have the energy after pads is done with you salme is still looking for aury and somehow missed him

salute

also man ever since you pointed out the register shifts he does it’s kinda funny watching scenes sometimes and seeing the way it either winds up or winds down as it goes lol

I’m

Icecylee he’s your character why do you talk like you’re being possessed by the supernatural

thats just how RPing works ?_?

manifestly untrue for many people but you do you

locked tf in

oh, wolf

oh, caion

also

caion doesn’t remember huh.

sure is

a song

on the ost

memories: X

vibes: O

called

: “recollection” huh?

lol yeah immaculate fucking vibes

also interesting having both these conversations converge on this same point lol

HACHI THAT DELIVERY

: “want to catch one?” I’m

THE BRO HANDSHAKE I’M

guys you did so good

too bad they didn’t do the forearm clasp+backpat

considered it for a moment

aury wasn’t sure if that was a Thing on both worlds tho and figured handshake was Good Enough without potentially being confusing lol

Listen, the Bro Gestures are universal.

TWO GREAT SCENES, AH AH AH AHHHHH

FUCJDKKSFLL HACHI

fuckkkjdfki

Yeaaaah, that’s a knife-edge thing to say and I love it

Also, Awo just totally on Wolf’s shit and Wolf has NO idea.

awooolf

your ship name

awooolf

HAHAH no

nyoro~n :3c

oh right not clear enough

awooolfken

If Awo is on Wolf’s shit, would that make Wolf say OwO?

r/azurewolf

I’m not sorry

(I am operating on the assumption that every legible male/male couple would have an unhinged shipping contingent)

regardless of canon sense

That tracks

I’ll accept “Azurewolf”

salme and CK get to be Supportive Side Characters sometimes. when they appear

Unua just over here waving and giving the thumbs up, because Aury did it and CK thinks Aury is cool

still want an aury-ck scene

just cause

We talked in a hot tub once

it’s been forever since!

it’s been a minute

also YOU were not in a hot tub

haha

True. CK is meh on water.

Which will make next week’s scene even funnier

I’m glad we know CK is a built-in jacuzzi-maker though

I’m a little teapot, tall and broad

I break fiends apart, I pro-tecc my squad

mfw you’re awoken, master of the liminal arts of distance manipulation, and forget that a portal into a mind realm isn’t limited by size

just imagining hoofing it across the wilds of Almachadta and we come to a big pond and CK just makes it into an ersatz hotspring

tsk tsk

what that sentence means is I have a much more narratively satisfying way of doing so

Awa <3 <3

taking care of your life

looking forward to you finding a way to bring a sun no one knows about to samudra’s skys for sure, tho

ice lmk when/if free? idk if i was supposed to follow up or if you will but figured I’d check in

uhhhHH yeah sure now’s fine

idk wherever Aurelius would be after … god whatever TIME it would be after salme had her whatever library moment

time between saturdays is a malleable thing

picks up a razer, drops it, squints as if reading tea leaves.

shortly after the last scene that just happened

: “still dazed at the wonder of iced tea”

evening same day since the last time they talked?

ye

also SWEET tea, iced tea would be so much easier…!

have you not had sweet tea?

i have thats how i know its impossible to drink more than like a fourth of a cup, tops, at once

okay yeah he’s objectively correct

…really? Like, I don’t love sweet tea, but you can drink a whole hecking lot of it in one go…

points at padfoot midwest

…yes, and?

sweet tea is more of a southern thing?

that’s how you can do it

nope I hit my narrative mark

Like, my preference is for unsweet tea because I’m a Yankee, but I’ve made choices that involve disappearing wayyyy too much sweet tea at once

see if you can spot the subtext by how the lure is coded!!

if im doing tea i want lemon and a lil sweet, not a TON of sweet. Brisk-esq

recoiled in horror the first time someone gave me sweet tea in south carolina lmao

I am (rotating) that lure

Teo, you menace.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Sometimes the inner thoughts win

BWAHAHAHA

Still see this with animatronic otters in my head.

jokes on you the music player never works on the first try

I got Pads and Fen with it, worth

Yet

Challenge Accepted.

I’m not going to do anything different. I’m just confident.

…isn’t that just the definition of insanity?

Insanity?

god realizing that a proper em-dash is --- and not -- here changed and fucked up my life

You’ve always wanted this to be the real you.

Can it, hiss-mouth.

<3

Orange peel

Fuck you

<3 <3

Love you too, brother

squadgoals

You realize that it’s mostly that being upset is part of the fun, right?

YES!

He does the thing, I give the reaction, nobody’s actually bothered, it’s just the bit

This is why I continue

It’s like how my college buddies and I used to relate but Teo’s not ACTUALLY trying to traumatize me.

We should play job job again so I can put the entire hiss chant into job job

You ALWAYS put the entire hiss chant into job job

Teo’s not actually trying to (He just is anyways)

I KNOW AND IT“S ALWAYS HILARIOUS*

Honey, you don’t even register on my trauma scale.

Mission accomplished

Stealth Trauma

Admittedly that’s because my trauma scale more resembles the richter scale than a sane numbering system, but.

Oh, was Castlevania a rough time for you?

Ba dump tiss.

….should we be Statler-and-Waldorfing while Salme has another small nervous breakdown?

it’s fine

I mean, it would be mean if Unua and Wolf were doing it

please ignore the small nervous breakdown

This is just what stream chat was like for Skie and I

…now I’m just imagining Unua TRYING to do a “Dohhhh ho ho ho ho” laugh

Unua, trying to learn how to laugh

And yes, stream chat for Skie and you WAS usually ignoring my small nervous breakdowns.

AND INJECTING HUMOR

: “HUMOR”

For less than strict definitions of the word

: “HUMANS!”

okay actually what DOES unua’s “voice” sound like because I absolutely imagine FMA Al like

at least half the time

See, I imagine much more “Iron Giant”

that would make more sense but I never saw that movie

Oh man, you should. It’s real good. You’ll cry.

the insulindian phasmid sounded like something????????/

Teak thinks I sound like this (go to about 6:40) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwrA9P74ShI

I was team Iron Giant

Phasmid is so high pitched

i did but i don’t remember it having a voice

esp given it was. sending the meanings of words directly into your insane mind

I should play that game again and not get softlocked halfway through

But for now, g’night, nerds

goodnight

night

what the FUCK

oh RIGHT they added a LOT more voices to the game like a year or two after launch

that’s why i dont remember it, it. simply was not there lmao

’you are a violent and irrepressible miracle.’ this bug knows about Pure Hearts :shockedmallow:

love a good violent and irrepressible miracle

thats why they call you the Popcorn Guy

yeah like

not beating the allegations

oof that took forever sorry

no no i understand

my responce was only fast because i started it at the ⁂ too lol

:P cheater

swappin’ computers + locking up and grabbing food out of the oven

noted! (salute emoji here)

which Pop Culture Philosophical/Theoretical Physics Demon is a narrator

I

i know it’s not the la place demon

i feel like there’s one that fits but it’s not coming to me

I have no Fucking Clue I just poked teak to look

I don’t

: didn’t know about laplace’s demon until JUST NOW*

my brain is just like “laplace’s dumbass”

hahaha

ok just going with the dumber answer then

’why am i like this’ idk thats a very good question

it’s GREAT

wait you didn’t know LA PLACE’S DEMON????

NO?

is it just really nerdy niche JP scifi that loves theoretical physics thought experiments with cool ass names and not like. a General Sci Fi thinig

I don’t do a lot of general sci fi even? I’m mostly a fantasy reader

when I read fiction

which isn’t a lot anymore

aha

couldn’t fuck shake a stick at 2000s anime shit without three different thought demons falls out

awoifjl;adfj;lsdjf

and it felt legally required by government law for them all to explain schrodinger’s cat

often, incorrectly

yeah as schrodinger’s cat often is

(used to drive by “schrodinger’s funeral home” which always seemed Unfortunate)

lmaaaaaaaaoooooo

no no i

i fucking love schrodinger’s funeral home

perfect location for a zombie outbreak to orginate from

amigone funeral home

I think that’s scene though I absolutely chuckled and went “what could we possibly use this for”

yeah

are you sleepy, ice, or was the spirit possessing you just Exhausted?

i am so no sleepy i am eating dinner lol

sorry if I poked you about scene too hard but it was still good. I think

naw i wasn’t doing anything anyway

since sog was off for the week

and yeah schrodinger’s funeral home. you gotta open the box (casket) and find out if grandpappy is still alive or not

well thank you I appreciate closing that thread!

no problem!

I still can’t believe “you don’t know about laplace’s demon??? what kind of anime fan are you even”

hahahaha

i really thought it was just a Nerd thing not an anime one nyo~o

honestly I am not an ANSI-standard Nerd so it very much could be

… okay also not ANSI-standard … anything so

this is weird 80s anime erasure :(

what is ANSI-standard

yeah that’s exactly how i’d say that

other than typing out the full name

only Teakwood and Fuepepe get that on ocassion

aha

okay this is where I have to admit, I actually stole ANSI-standard from you, teak, and thought it was interchangeable with ASCII, and that it was … about. a limited charset vs. the variability of unicode.

only Teakwood and Fuepepe get the Honor of you capitalizing and spelling out their entire names

I mean I know that I got ANSI from you I just am apparently an Idiot and think if there are enough letters that Feel the same and are in Roughly the Right Order they’re the same word

yeah unicode is a standard

it has a Consortium

I learned So Much today

amaze

and yesterday

and yes

I learned about laplace’s demon and an aristotelian concept I was Not familiar with

sanctuary is educational!

multilingual people with a penchent for word play are the most dangerous game of all

both of you saying that at the same time is perfect

oh

another Dark Truth about if sanctuary had a fandom: Aurelius/Jorule selfcest would be a Whole Thing

i learned about the supernatural Greater Fandom by watching supernatural itself, i know what you speak to be true

that’s in two days not one, but, yes i plan on setting an alarm for 9:30

because if im forcing myself to wake up early

i might as well give myself a mcbusciut too

: “plans” lol

you have plans to give yourself a mcbusciut

i think i was mostly reacting there last time b/c other people were too but also IRCing

really if you want integrated fue commentry you gotta take that up with god and fue’s keyboard and then perhaps fue

hahah

appreciate you signing into phone discord

just to go FUCK YOU as the video loaded up

oh yeah I mean probably but I’m not Online enough to be on a call or a React Stream for it lmao

AND YES I PLAN ON THE ONE GOOD THING FROM MCDONALDS BEING CONSUMED

you two are cute

b/c im not normally awake early enough for it

and am generally Grumpy When Woken

I mean I am a great supporter of getting oneself Little Treats

I am also Queen Grumpus early in the morning (… prior to 2pm) so.

respect? sympathy?

(i fucking hate mcdonalds in general tho and i hate even more that it’s the only realistic Food Option if I’m being lazy (i have learned to not be lazy so well ; ; ))

I think. This is the first time I’ve ever heard you say “I fucking hate …” like anything

and I’m just updating my mental model of you

and the fact it’s MCDONALD’s is.

fascinating?

lmao

i guess i don’t have a ton of reason to talk about Shit That Gets Me Heated in the sanct discord

anyway i have beef with mcdonalds because i live in a very small town and the mcdonalds is right across the street. instead of literally anything else. and I’ve never been big on their fries, wasn’t really a McNugget kind of guy, and their basic burgers are kind of butts

so sometimes id eat it out of having no other real choice

I mean I only like fish sandwich, hashbrown, and breakfast bagel so. my sympathies

(mcnuggets are a travesty)

why blood feud against burgerking?

and then. covid made them start closing the lobby at 8 instead of 10 so getting dinner there stopped being practical, and THEN they doubled all their prices so it super wasn’t worth trying to rush the clock

and yet. every day. look outside. THERE’S FUCKING MCDONALDS. INSTEAD OF ANYTHING ELSE

sobs

[pat pat]

(also no car)

[pat pat pat]

sometimes … you make better eating choices because … making worse ones is too hard (I say as someone who used to like going to restaurants but finds Picking A Restaurant in a new place too exhausting)

it’s rough being captain chewables

also huge snob about fast food like … how?

what’s the fond one?

and also I love when I ask a question and get an answer that I didn’t know but always Knew

well at least he’s not taking you to Waffle House?

that’s a different kind of homosexuality I think

(also I still keep thinking of Ice, just haunted by the mcdonalds across the street. O fortuna plays)

(he wakes up, thinking it Might Have Become Not A McDonald’s but no. It still is)

is … Waffle House the temple of perseverance?

hahahah

id fucking do a murder for a dominoes or a jack in the box in town its true

(mercifully there in a kfc/tacobell on the other end of town but that’s a Going For A Walk On The Day Off adventure and not I Am Hungry And Have No Food I Wish To Consume one)

(and uh i guess a subway, which is fine and still sees frequent use but isn’t Exciting)

i’ve never actually eaten at a jack in the box, though we have one.

i actually think carl’s jr. / hardees has better buggers but jack in the box has High Random Sides Variety

High Random Sides skdflj;sd

and being able to order a burger with curly fries, tacos, and mozzarella sticks gives a lot of bonus points

yeah that does sound pretty rad

I think I mostly get … chicken at fast food places? mostly because burgers always run the risk of Ketchup

also Waffle House is both a place I like to eat and has Value but it is a Weird Liminal Space and often in a bizarre way.

not if you say “mustard and cheese only” using the high level hack given to you by god and your american birthright

I have had people give me. So many. burgers with toppings that I didn’t ask for

rip

and then I have to get over my inherent “no it’s fine I’ll Eat It” and ask for them to Remove The Substance

horrifying (sympathetic)

it’s really hard.

did you know they do not have waffle homes in california?

i did know that

im not sure i’ve ever even seen one IRL much less eaten there

I had a friend from california visit the midwest for the first time (she’d only lived in like. LA and NYC) and we went to Waffle House since they don’t have them in CA.

it was

well

she wasn’t particularly impressed?

did you get to wait until 2AM when all the stoners show up and/or didn’t go to the Behind The Waffle House Incident of the night

i am given to understand these are a major part of the Charm

no we ate breakfast there so it was just mostly weird middle aged chainsmokers

damn

turns out Dayton, OH doesn’t have a lot to offer.

now I’m looking at maps of waffle house vs. ihop vs. denny’s I need

a hobby and/or a lobotomy

rip

you have ‘beef’ with mcdonalds lol

also one day I will tell you the story of how I singlehandedly credit myself for jack in the box introducing rice bowls to their menu

also waffle house is extremely overrated and only exists to be a liminal space

thinking

Liminal space AND disaster severity gauge.

I mean I think Waffle House is perfectly fine for a “I want a hearty breakfast of dubious quality”

The quality’s fine, honestly–it’s hot, it’s something resembling fresh, it’s not gourmet but if you’re stopping at Waffle House you don’t care about that.

of things waffle house meals are, they are hardly hearty

and what’s worse, is that they’re not cheap enough to justify it either

yes you have

you fuckin goon

JULIAN has been to a waffle house

literally the first night we were there and julian had never had a waffle before and loved it

you and him and verne were on the same flight/transfer

I feel like waffle house is cheaper than most places where I’m from? at least it felt cheap to me? but it probably depends comparatively

also verne drives like an old man

damn, i can’t believe a [redacted] would just go to his typewriter and LIE like that

woop pls delete

my line, that is

i should never have given u keys what are you doing D:

hahahahahaha

also fuck it I make the rules you can wear whatever outfit you want in the library. Salme wasn’t thinking but.

also: are these tenebrous orbs floating or are they all rolling around on the ground

they’re all rolling

varying sizes too

persona 5 music plays

now I need everyone to come up with their phantom thief outfits and personas

:eyes:

no not a second wind you’re already like strung out on a lack of sleep awa

I wrote 🙧 so I’m gonna give her a chance to respond

OH I somehow missed that

also do we have to be mindful of bedtime for hachis?

no I mean I started to type more and said to myself “no you goon hands off the keyboard you made a texual promise”

:P <3

I’ll let you know!!

welcome back! salme just finished her lil speech just as I was about to send you condolences

zoe craves probiotics

… ilu ∞ hachi

and unless he has a reply to that, that’s scene.

not unless you want him to power up a burning/tenebrous aura

sobbing into hands. i knew it was gunna happen at some point, but it didn’t even last a week

lol no I think we know that happens

HAHAHAHAHAHA

do you know how hard it is to get sexual energy out of a thought space? those couches aint gunna think they’re for sitting and reading anymore ; ;

owned

I still kinda want to know what an almachadtan couch looks like

hahahahahahaha

at least it wasn’t the liminal express?

(I am just imagining aury waking up because he has to pee or smth, seeing … the two of them as statues in the library, and just. Knowing. and groaning and going back to sleep)

it’s true we dont wouldn’t even know how to tip the conductor for the mess made and boy would that have just made the embarassment that much worse

give ‘im a wooden nickel

’feel like i’m starting to understand what kind of person is REALLY drawn to the mask sigh………………………………………………..’

yeah at least we’re just cleaning up mess in thoughtspace now

that couch in Particular probably does have to go into the janitor’s closet though because.

well

rip

poor awoken, hasn’t slept, just got a second wind, and then EXTREME POWER SALME

he brought that on his whole self

… who tagged the scene because if it was ice you tagged the wrong guy

I know salme topped at the end so it’s an easy mistake to make

ok but like,

i read hachi’s sentence and tabbed over to fill in as i was thinking ‘wdym isn’t that just normal salme’ so i guess the fingers aligned with the mind yeah

I’m not sure ‘normal’ and ‘salme’ belong in the same sentence

wow rude

^ yeah

god though

she is very consistently angry and sad all the time, there is a WELL established state of normalicy

:(

she laughs a lot too?

perk of knowing a lot of extremely funny people

yeah Caion has a great sense of humor

indeed

pity about the boyfriends though

at least they’re good for stress relief

damn

greedy……………………………

she kept warning you that she was!

warning labels are for chumps

famous last words
