teak
ꙮ i mean EVENTUALLY i will be able to eat popcorn without dying, if i am careful, it’s just a question of when…
ꙮ that’s. such a cute description, oh my god
luckily salme doesn’t know what the dutch are
ꙮ lolf
I feel like you remembered “stakt” and now you Will Not Stop
ꙮ listen once i figure OUT the word for a weird regional thing
ꙮ the eventual outcome of this will be me figuring out a recipe for distilling and flavouring stakt irl, lol
yes
obviously
added all the diagetic codex documents to the library I think
oh you never updated hachi’s font did yo
ꙮ Did he settle on a font he wanted for sure? He mentioned one but then didn’t like the way it looked on mobile I thought?
oh true i don’t think he ever mentioned either way if he wanted to go with that or the other one he mentioned before
iirc he was still working on it
changes the attribution of low tier sun to jorule b/c, honestly
yeah that checks out
also you’re on the hook now for explaining “fallout shelter”
it’s like a duelist mask shrine, except less shitty
salme is going to kill you and feed you to melpomene
tfw you’ve been consigned to the flames but the flames got tits now so maybe its ok
ꙮ ghtrfudhgeirtujhijh
sdfo9iuaoepwfjpoj
what if i answered a question you DIDN’T ask instead
go for it
teak I can ask a couple more questions or I can let you tie this up here–I know it’s late for you
ꙮ i WANT to keep going but have work tomorrow and slept like ass last night so I should probably try and get some sleep :(
:(
ꙮ Covered everything I knew I wanted to get to in this scene and then some though so I’m happy
hmm it says you updated it more recently than i did did i eat your edit somehow even tho that shouldn’t be possible
yeah same!
oh wait no thta’s
the creator
not last updater lol
(I updated thoughtstorm)
aha
ꙮ why DOESN’T it track last editor, comma, Teakwood, interrobang
yeah that would be Good
(I have an ending note for the scene, teak; it should just be one more line from me)
i am also deeply amused by how hard it is to see the periods in Aurelius’ font
I love that it doesn’t look like this MFer leaves spaces between his words. See “water world”
naming the island purple cabbage and you can’t stop me, its in the codex now
CONSIGNED TO THE FLAMES
I’ll even find non titty flames to consign you to
<jorule> “I believe in your ability to use context clues and the very specific way the term was used to derive meaning from it, Salme.”
oh yeah the r and t are both fairly long lol
he’s
what’s salme gunna do, admit defeat and say she can’t????
you know, I had been meaning to ask to grab you to do a scene with jorule, though it was going to be something that requires teak to GM, but I’m about to just be like “fuck that. Salme needs to yell at him”
gahaha
ꙮ lol irl
the other part of me that is ALSO an imp but is more Desires To Be Perceived As Smart rather than devious was REAL tempted to put a “Fallout Shelter” entry with an answer………… under Mu
but i don’t think I can make that called shot IC :(
I mean you can though it’s sort of out of the intended function of the glossary which is SUPPOSED to be about what we know FOR SURE but also I didn’t account for dumbass 1 and dumbass 2
well no i mean i don’t think i have the knowledge IC to make that called shot, it’s definitely relying on some OOC context
but, yes
scene
?
ꙮ Works for me! Thank you for scene, that was delightful
it was delightful!!
ꙮ and also gave me a chance to be like nudge nudge xenia nudge unexpectedly, which i’d been wanting to get over the net explicitly lol
also ice WOULD you want to run that salme-jorule scene? Mask Science can wait; she mostly wants to be like “WTFFFFF” at him, but I don’t know how much you want to do a “talk about feelings” scene with fucking jorule
(YESSSSS)
ꙮ she had an ability in the Rite, Xenial Counsel, that I can’t remember if I actually stated that she had, that I never got around to using
yeah sure i don’t have much else to do since I don’t think I’m in the mood to start writing up setting (esp since i want a map first but also can’t draw >:()
It was mentioned
not used, but, you did state it was her other tactician skill
ꙮ oh good for me
tfw you realize jorule and awoken are making the same pose

(what kind of map? is that something I could try to do for you? aside from finishing this current WASTE OF TIME thing, I’m mostly Done with school and have time for creative stuff)
:O i was meaning to ask how your, uh, whatever it was on wed you were Mildly But Not Really worried about meant
also possibly it’d be a world map but like, world with mostly one continent and a couple islands flavor of world
well I barely slept for 72 hours and had to get a 10 hour extension but it is Done and Teak read it and said it was moderately coherent

♪ Now playing: Stranger · queued by Jorule, Angel of Darkness
ꙮ also recall things like the Spoken Wood using gnosis to grow plants and shit, probably NOT something Salme ever did personally given established text but it’s something she /would/ have a frame of reference for, at least, I think, and why it made sense for me for her to think to try it

♪ Now playing: Palimpsest · queued by Jorule, Angel of Darkness
my favorite part is that it’s in 4/4 but also trying its best to pretend like it is Not*
ꙮ listen to it in headphones for best results - I really like the way the left channel pizzicato strings lags behind the right channel or prefigures it, except for a bit in the middle of the song where they’re perfectly aligned. the song itself is a palimpsest - there’s a new copy of the song overlaid on top of the old version

and looking at you like you were insane and wondering why in the mcfuck you would have thought that

how are you so funny tonight?
(did you know yours was in mongolian? because like. Mine was just like japanese japanese japanese punching me in the face over and over again)
(also do you read Hunter’s character art as central asian coded or would he be a white guy? I haven’t been able to figure out what on purpose vs. style)
♪ Now playing: The Angel of Darkness · queued by Jorule, Angel of Darkness
im always this funny but ive had good material also
I THINK i asked what language it was in? or general vibes? I know for sure i had That Region Of The World as a key influence from teak at least
since that bitch made me think up annarr’s name all by myself
instead of letting me get the auto-complete one like everyone else ; ;
yeah you had to name TWO characters
I CHOSE MY OWN NAME
I CHOSE TWO
oh yeah I think everyone had to
but like
teak OBVIOUSLY had names for everyone if they were an NPC
since i heard zaya… survivor(weapon?) and one other one before the game started
but wouldn’t fork ‘em over >:E
ꙮ hilariously, i did not have a name for the Sword-Saint if they were an NPC (because I knew there was no McFucking universe where the Sword-Saint wasn’t a player)
I’m just That Important
actually who DID have default names?
♪ Now playing: Melpomene · queued by Jorule, Angel of Darkness
Sword-Saint voted most likely by a committee of NPCs as Most Likely To Not Need A Real Name, it’s true
used too many words there OH WELL
Hachi somewhere is like “AWOKEN DOESN’T NEED A NAAA—“
ꙮ lmao
good job it hit the end of the queue and nothing exploded
ꙮ Archivist, Anarchist, Arcanist, Dreamer, Knight, Acolyte, Weapon, and Survivor all had default/protocanonical names
oh you really didn’t have one laying around for hunter??? lmao
i guess that makes sense all things considered
funny no almachadta people tho
Annarr is so perfect though
you really nailed it with that
god I did ask what NPC Hunter would be like and it was trippy as balls
oh?
rip still no pandora wtf
teak was like “sweet aniki-type who was cracked and broken but in a much more normal way”
and imagining hunter as anyone other than … the weirdo we got is
wild
hahah
yeah a lot less of this is “hunter’s secret” and more me seeing it and going “teak. we can build a dumber man” and teak taking off his glasses and going “my god. you’re right. we could”
ꙮ hahahahahahahhaha
ꙮ salme is so cute…
teak laughs but they got emotional the other day about how important it is that jorule is here too
it was cute
ꙮ <3
ꙮ its true
teak all “those motherfuckers didn’t realize GMM was a mana game (technically), but by god they’re gunna know Sanctuary is”
ꙮ hahahahaha
teak barely made it a couple sessions without chortling about it being a mana game @ me at least
lolf
ꙮ jorule IS cool and badass its true
I’m trying to figure out if it makes sense for Salme to ask if he has different wings for being the Angel of Truth or not
tragic, no one else from Myth is around to laugh at that last comment as hard as i am
jorule didn’t have a mother?
jorule’s mother was a pair of sunglasses?
NO ONE had parents
except primula
and everyone thought it was weird
like as in the parents were all dead or as in they had all spontaneously begun to exist as fully-formed adults?
vaguely implied latter
since. no one else bothered putting family / parents in their backstory
until aleith did, as a bit, when he joined the game For Real a good while into its run
osidjfopasdjopfs oh my god
so obviously when primula casually goes “alright im good to go now that im done having breakfast with my parents” jorules immediately reaction was of course “wait what the fuck you have parents???????????”
aodsifpjasopdfj “I thought those were mythical”
actually ice I DO have a question
was “Aurelius” always going to be a separate character, or was your intent to have Jorule driving Annarr around like a weird mech suit?
WHO’S TO SAY THAT ISN’T STILL THE CASE
I mean they’re completely different people with different relationships with half the cast?
unless jorule is playing a long, mindfucky game which … seems out of character?
What If I’m An Actor!
but yeah no i wasn’t really. planning on them being noticably different lol
that’s probably more your fault than anyone elses tbh
:D?
you’re ……. welcome?
good thing i dont need to know or think about what a character would do before they do it or it’d be really weird and confusing
qjewiafopajpsidfoaofpidjp
I really wasn’t expecting that question to prompt Jorule’s existential musings IC
this is why they don’t usually let you break character in other stories turns out, OOP
good god
hachiiii
hachiiiiii
for the record
I had this open almost all night
except for when I woke up at Fuck Knows When to hear jorule’s theme playing
and had to instantly get up and close the browser
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
angel of darkness
aggressive harp glissandos
lmao
i played the entire ass OST hachi
how was THAT the one that woke you up
it was the worst song, clearly
wow
dont appreciate you being rude to my composer friend teakwood like that
hahah
here have 2 long paragraphs about selfhood and personhood
yeah she should would
wtf this sudden betrayl, i haven’t pointed out ANY of your typos tonight
it is because I have made no typos whatsoever
I apologize for that post but you set it up and now the piper must be paid
uhhhh scene?
ye
apologies for violating bedtime
jorule kept saying interesting things though so it’s your fault
thank you very much, that was fun(ny) and lovely. missed doing thissssss

oh thank god ice changed back to being aurelius it was getting trippy to have jorule keep making ooc comments
lol
ꙮ bahahahah
I love that you will argue with me IC about how the library doesn’t auto-log every memory ever, but not add memories to the library T-T
one of those is MUCH easier than the other
wait FUCKKKKK
teak i had to vaporize my cookies to fix pandora
and it ate my gnosis panel
like, OBVIOUSLY it did, how else would that work,
but :((((
teak’s asleep
its ok i know he reads backscroll
your gnosis panel?
the short cut menu
ctrl+g and/or the diamond
it’s the diamond button under the post button now
though ctrl+g doesn’t work anymore, you’re right
oh wait it does once you … click the button?
it does
you have to be inside the text entry box
anyway I can just grab them from the library mecrifully,
but i realized they were gone b/c i was going to flourishing a horrible pun
and then remembered i didn’t have green anyway,
but luckily let me fix this before it actually matters lmao
… Ice I’m a fucking IDIOT I thought you were saying that … you were baking like. Edible human dessert cookies, and you had to like. Ritually burn them to fix Pandora.
do you want me to send you the glyphs so you don’t have to hunt them down?
… lmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao
i had already put them in the handwriting guide
so it was very easy to get ‘em back lol
waow such water much fire
oh I’ll go put the flourishing one in there as long as you promise not to drop it diagetically until I get the chance to have a li’l moment giving it away
… can you promise that?
can i promise to not accidentally use green until i can access it diagetically,
really twisting my arm there
i think i can manage, probably
(the library is diagetic tho……………………………………)
whelp tough luck
salme’s giving it away at the beginning of next session though
:O
I am almost certain I told you that?
maybe I didn’t
dont think so
also here’s the finished non-diagetic library documentation: https://strangepaths.aludel.xyz/content/library-guide
for when you absolutely go through and use the scene builder like a good buddy
full ass Corporate Voice instruction manual
I wrote a lot of website documentation in my life
don’t worry, I throw at least one insult your way!
D:!
I wonder if you’ll find it
oh yeah it was in the draft i saw :E
it’s honestly not entirely fair. you’ve done a good job tagging shit
unlike when you’ve deleted your map entry four times
sorry
it was v easy to do
three
and yet?
I’ve never deleted mine
iasfjdl;kaldf I’m looking at the map changelog and did … did teak just. change it so that any updates to jorule’s node register as “no change”?
that was the node in particular i mentioned while laughing at the start, yes
Too Long
just … throws hands up in the air nothing was changed! nothing!
oh! no it does log it

ꙮ also lol

ꙮ the paws are soft but they are also bappy
ice gets a [favored scratching post] techne
delicious cookie, now my grimoire won’t empty out
ꙮ i’m actually a little surprised cookies caused the grimoire to bail. i guess ‘cookies’ just means localstorage too???? browser terminology is a Fucking Mystery™
yeah
if you have to reset hard enough localstorage gets nuked as well
’cookies and site date’ ‘temporarily cashed files and pages’ but yeah
ꙮ yeah “site data” probably means “localstorage” haha
ꙮ oh hello
it’s an extra funny question because while Valais is very and obviously kind of Fucked, Mu itself does not seem… any different from the first three
?
Mu seems, hm, broken? Incomplete? In the same way that Alma and Samudra do? Too Much of [one thing], no concept of balance. BUT ALSO, like a kind of Normal Place That Could Exist despite that. But Valais does not, imo. lol
we don’t know shit about Valais
but it’s kind of a dualistic place, right? with the shunned undead and the people who live within?
i may not remember anything about valais but thats true of three other worlds as well :E
dual overseers…………..
ꙮ wolf hot…
ꙮ omg, salme
finally we get a wolf lecture but at people who absolutely deserve to feel bad

you’re welcome [has no context]
aa=ewaWEfasfdoiojsd
That liiiiiiiinnnnneeeee
okay so I was going to say “I think that’s the perfect note to end this on” but wolf’s followup question is so … good
For partial context “has your journey been good?” is one of two sentences that is absolutely getting incorporated into the next tattoo I get.
ooooh
(The other being “Is that not so…adventurer?”)
(Which you must imagine being said in the most threatening, sultry growl you can conceive)
ꙮ fdsfgjhdfjghdfjkgjhklfh dhgfjghfdjkghkfdjg
ꙮ you’re getting-
ꙮ padfoot i’m homosexual
^ yeah all I could imagine was teak’s extremely gay keysmashing in response
I’m getting…?
ꙮ a tattoo of that in some capacity, is how that sentence ended, originally,
though, question: scene, or continue? Salme DOES want to try to introduce Wolf to Bahamut, but it requires a GM and I don’t know if an explanation IC would be nearly as satisfying
Scene, please–I have to teach an accessibility seminar at 9 tomorrow morning. -laughs-
good
perfect. no notes.
that was excellent
thank you
ꙮ that was SO good ilu both

I super appreciate you making time to run that scene, it was fantastic
And I can’t wait for the follow-up!
:D :D :D

ꙮ also Wolf echoing the wording of the Duelist’s Mask
YEAH
Which is mostly accidental–its just that Teak and I are working from a similar reference set. -laughs-

wow teak got so homosexual they messed up punctuation
ꙮ im. so gay.
damn really????????????????????
ꙮ mmhmm
TEAKWOOD KAT IS BEING CLASSIST AT ME FOR SAYING NAW

yeah lol
CLASSISt?????
my register wasn’t SOPHISTICATED enough for your ACADEMIC SWINE CULTURE i can read between the lines
WAIT YOUR METAPHORS ARE SUPER CONFUSED HERE. MY academic swine culture?
so I’m a pig but I’m looking down on you from my … educated pig sty? and you’re just a Regular Working Pig?
yeah ur rite i should have said yuppie not swine, i think ‘fat cat’ and ‘pig’ somehow fused together
since the implication was, of course, having so much money you could eat to bursting (socially)
I don’t do nearly enough cocaine to qualify as a yuppie
also I may make less money than you. My grad school stipend is Not Generous
I know you were joking, but I’m getting caught up on the practical implicatoins
no one makes LESS money than me but i probably am the most wealthy of everyone i know due to a hilarious coincidence of circumstance
(the circumstances are “i don’t pay rent and utilitizes, i don’t own a phone, and i don’t own a CAR. and because i don’t own a CAR while living in america i never DO or GO anywhere, either”)
ꙮ [dying irl]
ꙮ you’re both preposterous
oh I was hoping you were secretly wildly wealthy due to inheriting money from a sexy dowager widow who died suddenly in an accident and you just kept the hotel job to have something to do
… you don’t own a phone?
ꙮ why would he have a phone when he has a laptop he’s on 100% of the time
what do when bathroom?
simply do not spend so much time on one shit you need a Device
can’t. guts are wired wrong.
tho if i ever felt the need i would simply do as the elders did, and bring a hand held gaming device
ꙮ i don’t understand HOW this happens but i am told that people can be WITHOUT ready internet access for more than five minutes at a time. can’t relate
(legit my dad kept a gameboy and gamegear in his bathroom lmao)
eoiwuroapfijsd
I mean, “book” used to be my solution, but “book” is always haunting me now, so sometimes dumb phone taptap games are the savior I need
but no i just have a lot of disposable income since i don’t have any gil sinks is all >_> having a vast fortune from Strange Circumstance would be fun tho…………….
ꙮ going back to TTRPGing has been fun because i end up daydreaming about Sanctuary while i’m shitting instead of fucking around on social media hating everyone
ꙮ def. a positive development
Hey Ice have you considered getting into predatory gacha games or …?
(I mean, class-wise I guess I have a nest egg from Dead Mom Money that I don’t touch? but I’m not getting rich off my $25k/year stipend)
if only they weren’t so boring…………….
ALSO YES TEAK. SPENDING LESS TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS INORDINATELY BETTER.
ꙮ i am tragically immune to videos game unless they are about logistics and differential equations or about cute boys suffering and there’s good writing, which means i’ve still got a very open attack surface against the new Arknights game but I’ve managed to resist it so far
Writing up an explicit document on Kushtaka-Pearl kinky edgeplay would be a better use of your time than being miserable on social media
ꙮ but that’s a PC game anyway, not a phone game
ꙮ fgdfkghjdiofjhipdjhoj
ꙮ one (1) good thing happened to me because of the time i spent on social media, and to be fair it WAS a really really cool and good thing, but
yeah but you met me in 2019 and I stopped using any Twitter-like platform 2 years ago
god imagine if we had gotten to be friends through normal-ass fucking nerd hobbies instead of Politics
ꙮ sure, “i love you so much i don’t regret Twitter“ is just a really pithy way to express a particularly elder-millenial affection
ꙮ anyways now we DO get to be friends through normal-ass fucking nerd hobbies AND you get to be friends with my other cool friends, it’s great
yeah I’m a big fan of your other cool friends
they’re really lovely and I miss when we don’t have group sessions so I have an excuse to hang out with them
though some of them run all sorts of weirdass scenes with me at different times and it’s pretty great
you have some great taste in people
ꙮ <3
ꙮ it’s truuuue
mfw im just yowling about being lazy and kat’s like “I’M MAKING YOU A MAP WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT” and ???? ok sure, thanks
ꙮ get cherished, nerd, pt. wev
ꙮ also maps are Cool and getting to make a map is Cool
ye
ꙮ (and getting a map made for you is also Cool I’m probably going to flail wildly at her and ask her to make maps of Solara and Erebus eventually)
it’s a pretty badass map
also the first one I drew I was sitting outside waiting for elaine to pick me up from campus because they got distracted doing errands on the other side of town.
ꙮ oh dear
also I actually got ice to express an Opnion on something
it was impressive
ꙮ getting ice to express an opinion is easy, watch: hey Ice, what do you think about the decision to remove Cleric’s Stance
ꙮ (this one doubles as me dunking on myself because now I wish I still had Cleric’s Stance b/c i got good at the video game)
Not Good, Teak. It was Not Good. :(
ꙮ [pats]
it is v funny kat has that impression of me tho since 70% of the shit out of my mouth is just yowling about random shit im experiencing
ꙮ gahahahah
okay
clarification
I think you have many Opinions. I do not think you have many Wants or Preferences.
especially when it comes to creative things
like
map design
weird to have no wants or preferences when i kept sending all those revisions in……………………. thonk
ꙮ :fishthink:
what I am saying is it wasn’t expected! It was nice! It was fun! It was collaborative! I enjoyed it!
god that’s so funny it’s actually the opposite
irl dont have many wants, content to just let things happen,
creatively tho i hella got preferneces but i also just LIKE a lot of stuff and have a pretty wide strike zone
’teak we should Invent Internet Forms in Sanctuary so it’s easier to yell at salme IC and you need then for Rev any’ ‘damn that rascely ice, never wantin’ nothin’!’
ꙮ lolf
okay well I guess I’m used to “hey ice, would you want to do a scene together sometime?” “ok”
is this enjoyable for you?? is this fun??? who knows, not me!
teak had to icesplain “he wouldn’t bother to do it if he wasn’t enjoying it”
if the answer was “no” i sure as shit wouldn’t agree EVERY SINGLE TIME you weirdo
ꙮ [pets both of you at the same time]
I don’t know that! I don’t know what you’re like when you don’t want to do something!
okay
correction
I am learning what you are like when you don’t want to do something which seems to involve a lot of sighing and ennui
w…. would YOU keep saying yes if you found it exhausting and exasperating and perahps even unenjoyable???????????
I do have a very obnoxious people-pleasing habit I am trying very hard to defuse, so possibly?
RIP
I have said yes to far, far, far more consequential things when I wanted to say no.
ꙮ [hug]
but also I am very rarely the askee so I don’t know!
damn girl hope you have success learning to say no to shit you don’t wanna do, ESPECIALLY when it involved people you (initially) only barely knew
I mean I have never said yes when I meant no here?
not to the best of my knowledge!!! so huzzah for that
no that’s an … objectively true statement about me … oh god. I am going to go walk into the ocean.
oh i parsed the Have and the I backwards so it looked like a question oop lol
ꙮ [gently picks up, hugs instead]
not a you communication issue, a me being a cringefail loser issue.
pats
ꙮ nope false, you’re cool and good and have just Been Through It some
ꙮ you’re not going to win this one so don’t try. get cherished nerd x4 combo
ꙮ also as a GM and as a friend i’m glad this is a space where people do the things that they want to be doing and exclusively the things that they want to be doing. that makes me happy
yeah!!
yeah my decreasing hopes that ice will add aury’s relevant memories to the library history is serving as an illustration that ice does not do what he does not want to do lol
ayyyy
maybe later when im bored / not doing anything
ꙮ lolf
updating the library history vs. writing for your campaign, whichever one you don’t want to do less is what will win
christ that was annoying because it kept wanting to add stuff in the wrong spot bot eventually got it, hope you’re happy >:|
I am!
though no guest book description with Awoken’s Not Real name smudge?
ꙮ huh is the insertion caret misbehaving?
ꙮ why in the fuck did it not track those edits in the edit history…
ꙮ Yay fixed the insertion caret
that wasn’t part of making it, that was fucking around with it later and NIP didn’t overtly describe the book itself during that scene
ꙮ utterly fucking baffled by the logging glitch
magic sure is complicated
ꙮ it sure is
UGH FINE there’s not a good way to add the description of how the names appear I GUESS
THANK YOU ICECYLEE
I appreciate the effort
<3
<3
once i finish the last of this salad and do dishes anyway, im too stupid to open a new scene with a bowl of food in front of me
aoijfs;ldfjkl;jsl
ꙮ lolf
squint. wonder why creating a new scene moved me so far into the backscroll. not that it matters, but weird all the same
fdjslksdalk;fjasl;fd
: “like idiots”
ꙮ Ice: known glitch I haven’t bothered fixing because it usually only affects me
the price of being the GM’s special blorbo
yeah that’s where i was at “this ain’t gunna effect anyone enough to be worth fixing, much less investigating, but it’s odd!”
ꙮ I even know why it’s happening, I’m just lazy
hahah
: “lazy”
how many code pushes expanding and developing this website have you made?
ꙮ i mean i’m highly motivated to show off for my friends in cool ways. it took me 15 weeks to make an NPC switcher that wasn’t an unnecessary pain in the tuchus
even worse, this feature could have been made fast if only you had given me access to it as well
ꙮ <caion> FUCK DA ARCHITECT :E
stomp stomp clap stomp stomp clap
oh wow we got FORMAL Formal register here
It’s serious!
ꙮ cuuuuuute they’re CUTE
considers, discards
…
you know I’m always going to ask what
though if it was something along the line of “maybe I could have achieved a cuter girlfriend” I’m gonna punt you
no no just
’no that’s probably not something aurelius would pull a reference to out of a hat’
re: there should be a test for that
oh lolololol
no dykes to watch out for in space I guess
plenty of gay fish in the space sea but
no going “ACTUALLY that’s about a scene with two women not bringing up a man to keep a conversation rolling not more than one simply existing” is way more of a jorule response
jorule is the woke feminist hero we need
helping with confusion
me, halfway through the first sentence ‘wait shit my layman ass is gunna fuck some detail up in a small but signifigant way and EXPERT KAT’s gunna tear into me, RIP’
oiuralk;fsdfjl;ksafd
it’s okay salme is too confused by the context
oh my god
ꙮ [fucking dying of lols]
Aurelius has to explain Christianity through the filter of Jorule facts to someone with no experience with monotheism
MAKING THE EXECUTIVE DECISION THAT CATHOLICISM IS A SERVICE THING
since, honestly, why wouldn’t it be
are we going to passive-aggressively fight about the name?
i don’t think so
ꙮ Throw Ally is the best ability
yeeeeah
fucking dream-whale library folio is so. fucking. long
and it doesn’t include scenes I can’t access
> Added 227 entries, 1 note, deleted 57 entries, reorder entries.
don’t. think all that happened in ONE update near the end, history, but ok
it did but that’s because I added most of an entire scene and just deleted the stuff that didn’t seem relevant
oic
though the rest of the activity feed seems to be doubled
so much dream-whale
dream-whale dream-whale dream-whale
hmm i don’t think i need to add anything…?
no I think wolf and luĉja are the two who had major run-ins?
commentary, if you’d like
also I think that’s scene? I was going to ask about guns but I don’t have enough brain power
i already commented on the important things, of course
yeah that’s a pretty nature cut off point
natural
but also ‘excuse me ma’am? might i have a moment of your time to talk to you about our lord and savior, big bird?’
ksdfkjas;dljsl;dfjk;asdf
: “jorule?”
caw-caw!
salme finds out about sesame street and is convinced big bird is jorule
: “What life was that one?”
lmao
thank you for cute little scene. and I even didn’t keep it running past your bedtime
: “im not a bird salme” “sure, yes, obviously i get that” accidentally internalizes that he is a bird, as the joke takes on a life of its own
it’s a christmas in july miracle!
plot twist: JORULE birds out while being a bird in Aury
godwhen did he call salme a hillbilly i can kind of imagine ti happening but don’t remember the conversation/context lol
At the Ziggurat, III < when they got together
: “I can’t believe I’m dating a hillbilly”
oh lol
she mostly ignores slurries of Bird Terms but if one stands out and it comes up later she’s like “WAIT”
I realize I typo’d it “hillybilly” but honestly I’m keeping it that’s funnier
ok but clearly all hillbilly means, from context clues, is someone that forms large groups, likes breakfasts buffets, and has a perchant for singing songs about history
because that’s where the overlap is
from context clues she’s gathered it’s not a compliment (she’s not actually mad)
lolf
also yes ty salme for not making me explain “Services”
i appreciate it
she was too perturbed by the idea of “religious conversion”
if it comes up a second time get ready to Lore Dump tho
all your prayers are belong to me
I am also piecing together what “services” are and apparently it involves talking in ancient meme?
I MEAN,
kind of
kind of?
in the same way that any sci-fi with cool people does as time passes
what I have pieced together is “an old antagonist / had a weird book about jorule? / catholic? / all your base are belong to us meme?”
oh no that last one was obv in response to ‘religious conversion’
OOOH
: “obv”
< clearly misread
HOW’S YOU WRITING GOING, ICECYLEE?
tho i would not have been surprised if an angel in D.S madcatz at someone
uh i painstakingly copy and pasted from discord and into notepad and then deleted all the junk text that comes with doing so AND user names and saved it so i could references it later????
I think that counts?
SoG was earlier tho and probably going back to mechanics after tomorrow so i’m not really in a rush
that sounds like procrastination
you would know a thing or two about procrastination, huh
yeah for sure 1000%
thus like recognizes like
ye
at one point I almost was like “I’ll write your stuff if you write mine” I was so miserable about it
but I’m done!
and you are just beginning
ꙮ gahahahaha
oh yeah teak you mentioned Someone was gunna Get All Up Ins the forums once they go live… is that something that might need like a pre/post depending on timing scene btw or is it not happening in a way that would be Reactable to in any meaningful way outside of the forums and thus not need it?
(i find myself wondering, after remembering we got some Time Restraints in place again)
ꙮ it’ll probably happen after the session proper ends, not immediately when the feature is available. probably.
oh this IS two weeks skipped, okay, i was wondering why it felt so long lol
ꙮ yeah :(
