Scene Archives

lmao

:(

but when salme punches a hole thru reality it hangs around

snoofling

teakwood,

I See

the name lol

what do you See?

the name bahamut said

yes I’m trying to ask what insights you have to offer, icecylee

spoilers :(

it’s a name i’ve seen before tho

(in sanct)

How can it be spoilers, it just got used!

spoilers! :(

… in sanct??

the context around it!

yeah bring it up during the session probably

:E I hope aleith KOs you in SoG

i mean the answer’s not super involved but it’s probably more interesting to answer it IC lol

I mean, evergreen sentiment about aleith KO’ing you, but noted

also yeah

D:

(for clarity, Salme asked like 5 questions of Bahamut and 1 of Wolf so either of you can answer)

Bide a moment, gathering info and thoughts. -laughs-

: bides

Teak’s computer is apparently Having A Time, fyi

:(

I love Wolf so much btwwwww

: pets

last beats are yours to wrap up however you’d like, pads, unless you want me to do it

(salme will have some follow-up questions but they can wait because it is late and Wolf also deserves a Break)

ilu both so much that scene was so good <3 <3

Yeaaaah. Sorry, I just went with what Wolf would say before I knew you had follow-ups. But I am…tired. -laughs-

yeah! she’d probably wait anyway

that was lovely

and wolf got sent through the wringer

godddddddddddd

: hugs you both

Good Job

:thumbs up:

-dryly- Oh good. We’re not living through a cosmic error. We’re cosmic food. Lovely.

: that’s going to be a fun one to try and relay to folkx.

oh shit one thing I meant to ask IC but I think in terms of functionality I’m going to just ask OOC, but would Wolf be Cool with Salme adding these memories to the library?

I’ve been trying to avoid accessioning private memories without asking IC but also

-waves hand- He’d concur with that, so long as he didn’t have to do it.

We got a lot of really important info

no but you still do gotta define yeresh in the glossary >:)

arrgh but then I have to figure out how the glossary works

that one’s easy as least, since it’d be in the main body. Just click the edit button on the left

there’s documentation or I can walk you through it on a video call sometime!

ALSO THANK YOU FOR GMing TEAK

Oh, I can figure it out, I know that. It would just be, y’know. Effort.

(memory adding’s not QUITE as complicated as it sounds, either, but probably not something you wanna do half asleep regardless haha)

He hasn’t even been back in the library, I’m not sure he knows half this shit exists!

He just lets you tech savvy kids go and fiddle with your doodads and whatchamacallits

I am also available for diagetic library walkthroughs

but Jory the Raven would also give a walkthrough offscreen

lol or Wolf can have Aurelius explain it to him

Orrrr he could continue to be the equivalent of the Boomer who doesn’t know how his phone works and then I don’t have to do anything. -grinning-

hahah

it’s okay Salme will keep doing 85% of the work

It’s more like “my brain is being a weird butt at me about interacting with those systems so I’m at least turning it into a bit for lols”

and Aurelius 10% and Jorule 5%

Jorule is being more helpful than Wolf. Can you live with that?

no no i completely understand ‘salme add a link here’ ‘you could done that too you know’ ‘yeah but it was easier to ask you to do it’

(this is joke)

… I was about to give you shit for that ice but I can’t even

The thing about Ice that is impressive and frustrating in equal measure is that if you give him shit he just turns it into Shinola

lolf

I mean 1. he’s annoyingly hard to win an argument against and 2. he’s kinda lowkey one of my favorites because he’ll let me drag him along on all sorts of whackadoodle schemes.

honestly, going “I’m not going to give you shit about making me format a link because you did so much work in and on the library so you kinda earned that moment of laziness” is probably more effective than giving him shit anyway

because then he goes “hahaha <3” and then never says anything on the subject again

<3

versus he’ll playfight down to the bloody dregs and as someone who Cannot Log Off I also know I Cannot Win against such a professional-grade poaster

also he used the memory-builder to add memories, so bonus points

Which is why I had to create an entire Discord channel for him to live in and ME to never go in, because I fight to win, and Ice fights not to lose.

lololololol

wait which one was that lmao

FFXIV-mechanics

oooh

wow you got quarantined and you didn’t even know

It was very effective, clearly.

honestly I mostly just answer random moku questions in there lmao

Yes, and when you have an Opinion about FFXIV healing, you have it over there and I don’t see it.

i do try and keep the ‘THIS IS THE WORST GAME I’VE EVER PLAYED (and am still playing, ten years later, for some reason)’ to a minimum, generally speaking >_>

(dragon, please archive the latest scene so I can accession the memories)

I mean, buddy, you can have it as much as you want, so long as you have it over there! -laughing- That’s what it’s there for!

ty

what’s the over/under on going back to bahamut again,

i ask mostly b/c not sure if he needs a tag or not

hmmmmm not … 100% sure? Salme is likely to go back and chat with it even if it’s not to fucking grill it for information

salme > cannot leave anyone alone ever

hmm no reason not to i guess

and easier to do it now than later, ok done

ty I’ll add that to the other scene

: stares at the activity feed which is literally just Me Doing Things

ice I know you’re in SoG but do SOMETHING so I seem like less of a weirdo

oh shit you already tagged that other scene. awesome

we were VERY busy figuring out how to deal with Vipers in an Outhouse

yeah I saw the outhouse vipers

?

i needed a Fancy Apostrophe because a naked apostrophe fucks the rumor map node titles and I’ve still not fixed that yet because I’m a bad

are you a bad dragon?

did you

make nodes for the mask itself, and zosimos…. and then… not bahamut… but instead gave them a library entry…?

WAIT

HOW DID SALME GET INTO THE LOGS

into what logs?

ALSO DID YOU GIVE BAHAMUT MY ICON???

yeah he’s the sword saint

he’s a GIANT CAT

https://strangepaths.aludel.xyz/library/the-first-words-of-the

HE HAS AN ICON

THAT WAS THE VERY FIRST THING WE HAD IN OUR SESSION?????

WE WERE ALL THERE??????

i mean i didn’t see a bahamut icon and generally only teak has the NPC ones???

you can ASK teak for the NPC ones instead of STEALING mine

I’M NOT SURE NARRATIVE TEXT THAT HAPPENED BEFORE WE WOKE UP IS LIKE,

ACCESSABLE LIKE THAT

but

it’s all diagetic???

sword saint is good at remembering so

we heard it??????

dude I can delete it and fucking jorule can add it if it’ll make your panties less twisted?

(yeah she’s a lil’ spicy rn)

:E

:E

AS I WAS SAYING if anyone else had access to that it WOULD be her but

<hachi> “yeahhhhhhhhhhh. rip in to him”

(she’s all hopped up on RPing, I had to give her SoG commentary as we played as she INSISTED on spinning multiple plots at once)

(that is a lie)

(I did give SoG commentary tho)

idk it doesn’t feel like something we would have heard? especially as no one else was huffing paint and communing with god then???? but i am willing to be wrong about this.

(I am encouraging him to attend your play test tomorrow DESPITE THE FACT we’re going to the beach and staying the night icecylee u should be nice to me)

i am asking these questions for your sake :(

IN WHAT WAY

actually mine b/c i don’t wanna ask even dumber questions on the folio and then have you later go “wait actually maybe not”

I am asking for dragon adjucation

TEAKWOOD TELL KAT SHE’S RIGHT AND WONDERFUL ABOUT EVERYTHING

I feel like I am getting a glimpse of the ice that made everyone go over the mountains despite the airship

wait now I’m worried

what if we weren’t supposed to know?

but then I gotta redact like

I love you both

a tonne of shit

this is not a hill i want to die on it’s just something i wanna know for sure one way or the other lmao

<hachi> “I love you both”**

<hachi> “fight fight fight fight”

the duality of texas

oh god don’t remind me that I’m in Texas right now

but

Everyone Was Retroactively High As A Kite, okay, cool

no

no

you don’t get to “Hear” the narrator without being a little bit out of your fucking mind

we haven’t got to “here” the narrator

that’s later

anyway now I know I can be even dumber,

so

thanks for that

BUT I mean I figure those words were kinda spoken/heard as we were coming to out of our AMNESIA COMAS and the veil between worlds was thin

…

: “even dumber”

yeah we’re not maxed out on the gage yet

the numbers go higher

yeah we’re pretty great

there’s a non-zero chance that there needs to be a jorule/NIP scene now and this pains me more than anyone else and you’ll never believe that despite it being true

no I believe that

well IDK if teak believes that

the two meta non-cast members have to talk about the most shade-ass bullshit

also ice have you ever run a scene that was just you-teak since we started?

wait no you talked to tsem

yeah just that one I think

please imagine that ‘imagine an entire plane filled with people like me’ said in the most threatening manner possible btw

answer given when asked ‘why are you so worried about talking to NIP on samudra anyway’

I feel like that would have injured Awoken but Salme actually likes Jorule so

hahah

REMEMBER SHADE U, 86

dude Awa has enough memory issues DO NOT introduce Spark bullshit

:D

did your D&D hellranger use his shotgun one-handed ice?

He did not, but the character this one is from did

(they were an android)

lololol fair enough

oops

let’s get existential

Two Modes: Mad, Sad

:P

she’s not even that sad she’s just THOUGHTFUL

just like Aurelius was THOUGHTFUL as he stared out at the sea and sighed

if you were curious teakwood did nearly die there

hm?

he tabbed back in shortly after the authority issues question and nearly died at it and the shit before it before finally going to bed lol

oh lololol

were you listening to them having gigglefits on a VC?

yeah wasn’t doing anything else so i was watching them do some insanely boring farming in 11 lmao

are you sure you aren’t suddenly overtaken with a passion to start playing 11 again?

quite certain, i only ever played it for like, a week lol

’My First’ doesn’t quite make sense, either would calling her Salmone……………………………. rip

rip Salmone must become diagetic at some point

I believe in you

Some Day

trying to wind down the scene and then you just TYPE SOMETHING I MUST RESPOND TO

hahaha

UGH okay

yeah that’s deserved

<me> “salme isn’t going to be Weird about this potentially upsetting but ultimately immaterial thing this time I promise”**

… hours later …

**”nope guess she is”

lucy’s definitely gunna let me kick the football this time, i just know it

TT_TT

she’s getting less deranged I promise?

if you had said that ten minutes ago i would have believed it

T_T

can’t be mad, can’t be sad, can’t be anxious

smh

ONLY THROW

we’re going to hit Mu and all she’ll do is correlate library entries and make sotto voce jokes and it’ll be Weird

sotto voce???

fancy way of saying “whisper”

o

italian for like “under the voice”

fukkin italians, just say whisper

they can’t they don’t have old english root words

goin’ back in time to stop the construction of the tower of babel, not for a chance at world peace and harmony, but to deny nerds the power to Being Like This

duoisfjasfdlfkjd;f

ice the tower of babel isn’t real

it’s a fake story

also I think that’s scene at LAST jesus

thats what GOD whats you to believe, but i dont buy into propoganda

thank you and apologies that took … quite so long

God isn’t real either ice

or he’s dead

I forget which

slowly discovering that salme should never, ever, be allowed to sit still

she’s going stir crazy okay

literally was about to say

she thinks jorule is a good source of advice

gotta get this bitch an orange

an orange?

stir crazy -> scurvy -> orange line of thought was much stronger in my head

aoiaopfjospasjfdp

jorule is a great source of advice when you’re asking about specific things, and is not a good source of advice when he’s just saying shit and might be trolling because a question was not asked

: “salmone has scurvy” is a beat that is happening in the parallel, stupider world of scanturay

hahah

yeah who do you think is teaching salmon to interrogate people thoroughly?

… you know. I’m not gonna edit that. I’m gonna leave that typo

some fucking other sword-saint????

feel like she always had that trait

huge Bad Cop energy, got a trigger finger for turning the desklamp directly into people’s faces

it wasn’t badri and that’s the only other sword-saint she’s met

oh god she’s just always been like that??

are you serious??

got a whoel mask fulla memories

kind of?????????????? she wasn’t AS pointed earlier, but got more like that with familiarity, which is funny to think about

well yeah bad news for Aurelius (and Jorule really) there is like. 0 filter on her around them

thats the power of trust baby

I was kinda … when she and wolf were talking to bahamut, I was like “girl, you are being a Mega Asshole with all these not terribly-sensitively-phrased questions”

hahahaha

Wolf was being all empathetic and kind and she was like “OKAY BUT THE DETAILS??? HOW DID YOU DIE?”

The People Want To Know

then Aurelius calls her out for Interrogation when she was just trying to make a joke. The bitch can’t win.

ahaha

in another life salme’d fucking crush it as a detective tho

cut to a film noir hardboiled detective Salme

hell yeah

Awoken as the homme fatale who struts into her office

yeah that tracks

he’s already got the high heels

dunno what sexy lady trope Aury is but I’m sure there’s one for him too

lasdkfalksfdj I think hachi said the heels are like 1“ but*

femme fatale obv

haha

I mean you can’t both be the femme fatale. I mean. I guess you can.

I feel like Aurelius is the sexy guy who seems all innocent and then he has some weird split personality thing going on

oh no awa’s the worthless one aury’s the spy type

ewfojasdofsjdf

I don’t

know that Aury would make a great spy

considering

and yet here you are, spillin ur heart to me………………………………………………

: “I dazzled her with my autistic rizz”

super effective

I mean, low bar, I’m a pretty easy mark once someone hits “friend” level

I guess Salme is too though

oops

next time I’ll play a guarded, suspicious asshole and it will be fun for precisely nobody

hell yeah

… I realized you’re the precisely wrong person to say that to

UGH I should go to sleep I stayed up too late because SALME had something she had to just gently flip out about

THANK YOU FOR THE SCENE AND THE JAPES ICECYLEE

flip out and then immediately pass out

girl needs to find better ways to destresss :(

she’s also weaving and exploring the island but yeah she super does

salme is a hot mess

hahah

ye, da mob, see

wait you ALREADY HAD AN AU?

the angry detective energy is real

I am glad our bullshit has aligned

hachi also said she interrogates people :(

yeah

do you think Aury’s mob fedora has a cutout for his lil ears?

folds arms over chest.

… probably not?

those poor ears

never get used. stuck under a hat all day.

you dont want your mob look to accidentally tip over to ‘omg tiny ear holes, so cute!!!’ territory

I mean I guess it’s probably fine if there are other metahumans? but maybe it’s an oops all human AU anyway

No, Only Looking Cool. :E

ear holes are the opposite of that

also god bless padfoot leaving a several dozen comments and also not, in fact, defining yeresh lmao

I’m gonna ask jorule to define yeresh at this rate

also yessss commentary

will reply when laptop again

ngl,

big ass “plane” entry was to preempt them being called reflections lmao

sundered perfectly acceptable tho

hmm it doesn’t seem like it’s always giving notifs for some reason…?

now that I said that it started doing it again??? hm

Also, I’m going to note that I attempted to define yeresh three times but it kept kicking me out and losing all my progress, that’s why Teak did the fix.

Also, god only knows how Wolf figured out how to see all this and add comments IC, but playing “slightly staid old man on the forums” is a fun time.

RIP

I’m reading some of Aury’s replies and…Wolf is very weirded out, though not in a way he’d ever express openly, watching Aury somewhat literally talk to himself and explain for himself.

hahaha

i can only imagine wolf either laughing or pursing his lips together very tightly after going “really?? what if i defined beast as hot metal world??” only to scroll down a bit to find it was only referred to as ‘fight world’ already

It was definitely an exasperated laugh, because that’s the sound I made.

And then he felt faintly bad about being a butt about it. But only faintly.

: “what if I did this (theoretically offensive thing) you yourself already did”

wolf flirting up a storm with both members of the sunglasses spark

…flirting?

two people interacted, that’s Flirting </teakwood_voice>

I can’t even justify my comment now. I can’t remember what I was thinking. probably that they were agreeing a whole lot because they’re not dissimilar

Saturday….

Saturday!

saturday!!

omg how did i get here how do i awoken

time to remember all the theater experiences you’ve ever had hachi

argh, brb bio.

back!

I HAVE FINALLY CAUGHT UP ON MY LIBRARY BACKLOG

-lifts his eyebrows- “Wolf-Father”? I think that’s a cognate to an epithet of Odin

hahaha

I have not either

I have been… distracted

yeah by playing MTG

I mean.

yes

oh many I did Not know that was a cognate to an epithet of Odin, pads

happy birthday Teak!!!!

<3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEAKWOOD

I mean, Odin catches a lot of “X-father” epithets, so, y’know, there’s that.

hachi said Salme was being unreasonably shirty at Wolf for that one, so know hachi is on your side on this one I guess.

I am betrayed

I mean, forum-text wouldn’t convey the smile and the teasing tone, so. -laughs- I think that’s appropriate.

didn’t even have letter accents or omelettes, amazing.

OMELETTES

lol

(for the record that omelette was intentional, but also, it would have been easier to NOT fuck it up because i kept typoing omelette……………………………. irony)

Omurice!

hachi just yelled “omelettes” and I had NO context

hahah

Sorry I’m late, I was resting my eyes and it went longer than expected. Lol

wouldn’t be quite the same without our Observer

our Observer that’s so cute

<3

makes sense

!!!

:( extremely valid

not sure if that did anything but shrug why not

he is

he’s also a weirdo

does Salme need to do the “remember you are mortal and will die” whisper for emperor awa here?

damn what’d you do to making sitting illegal bro

oh I am gonna do a real silly thing

salme - :3c

Immediately in love with this Anamanaguchi-ass music

yooooo

^__

giggles!!

this is the Best Day

Cosmic Frogs Teach Me Your Secrets

Also real quick - Caion is with us, right? Or did he stay behind? I can’t recall

nooo :( I wanted to share the moment where Archie sees their true forms with him for the first time. It okay, it’ll be an amazing story for when he gets back

somewhere Awoken dove into the reeds at 1 AM and started singing “Jeremiah was a bullfrog”

hahahaha

im just glad I can’t be blamed for this one

no you’ve been super normal (depressed) and well behaved this entire time

my face IC and irl rn:

|3

he keeps giggling. can attest

lol salme

:)

Ye! Archie’s ready whenever, he’s just really looking forward to whatever these professor frogs have to share. IC and OOC the vibe is very “go on, then (positive, affectionate)”

I think we’re ready? at least hachi and I are

I’m good

Aye

oh no

ok I didn’t do this

okay I love this

the song not the … imminent destruction

oh shit

Caion Was Right

what an ominous new title

rip message delivery failed

OH NO

:(

Teak if Caion is doing the thing that I think he’s doing I am going to Cry

Oh you’re gonna cry

Please don’t 5.3 me

Lmao I don’t even play this game and I’m pretty sure I know what that means Kuz. GL Buddy

I have to ask, does it seem like caion is unable to put his crystal arm down

Teak, I can’t see Solarium and not think “Oh boy, rare rooms today”

real

This was a horrible time for Close in the Distance to play, thanks YouTube…

Youtube out here choosing violence

ye got a thing before we leave the room but probably… not while other people are still doing stuff

lol

hahah

The tone of this scene is way too heavy to acknowledge this IC but we can all agree that Caion using full name and title is hot right

Oh, very.

yes

y

y

mmhmm

Oh also hey Wolf, I don’t want this detail to escape me - you mentioned having a theory of who Synthesis was that was confirmed by the scene in the solarium, if you’ve discussed it in a side scene would you be willing to share what that theory was? If you haven’t yet, no worries, I’m just terminally behind on reading everything and I’m curious about that context/insight

Oh, no, it’s just–when he saw that there was a Pearl around Solei, he guessed that it was Synthesis, but wasn’t sure until Caion said it.

(Also, The Archivist/Archie -> Archie, for Reasons)

Ahhh okay gotcha

And then had to sink some grief.

it’s been confirmed who synthesis was. Aurelius knows if you ask him if you want to be diagetic

So, like, nothing deeper for Wolf than “is that…? Goddess. Yes. Fuck.”

He’s the post-shattered remnants of Thesis, former Academician, yeah? I believe that was established in a group scene, or at least one I was in/that was information I was privy to as our native Samudran, but if there’s more than that I can ask IC sometime because that’s all I know, I think

yeah

yeah that’s pretty much it

there’s a smidgen more that I’ll get to IC in… a little bit haha

they want us to get gone so they can go back to living more uneventful lives

Yeswell.

Lucja knows they aren’t cut out for smarts

<3

ok if this is more or less done gemme a sec

careful with that typo specifically, today, Teakwood has already gemmed Caion

awwwwww

babbyyyyyy T_T

sometimes your heart breaks and heals and breaks all over again in the span of a single sentence

<3

d’aww

ilu2 thank youuuuuu

<3 <3 <3

also killer ending note, ice

<3

-laughs-

lmao gg happy birthday

how very teakwood of us

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN TARUUUUUUUUUUU

happy birthdayyyyy

Happy birthday, Teakers!!

i meant to say you but maybe us works better anyway lmao

Happy birdyyyy!

give me Arete :E

OH

what does that ink wall look like now in the library…

man until you said “a tomestone is an iphone” I legit thought they were WAYYY smaller than that

lmao

like ipod nano sized

amazing get one-word replies from both of your characters one after the other

one of those replies was strictly unneccessary but

again, having to get the last word in

aury was the unnessary reply :(

I wasn’t sure which one you meant!

you accessioned a folio! iceeeee <3

god this is such a bittersweet memory considering Today

though weirdly did not show in Activity

it was private before

But yeah a little weird it didnt note i made it public

oh wow yeah I just noticed the accession date

that was one of the first things i did, so i wouldn’t have to keep looking up the log lol

that makes sense. I keep meaning to make a folio of “meaningful words and phrases to quote” but I also somehow keep not doing that

doing a lot of anything but that

sounds like a lot of work tbh

less work than handwriting things out, which is what I was doing before

also I get to reread old scenes and realize things now

though ice i keep fucking … forgetting who the fuck the hunter is

I’ll see something tagged “hunter” and I’m like “WHOMST IS … oh, right”

lmfao

writing it down by hand, you’re crazy

it was nice and meditative

when there was significantly less content

(… something for which I am massively at fault)

lolf

okay I was curious and

in chapter 1, we averaged 1 insert scene per full cast session. in chapter 2, it was 6. thus far, in chapter 3, it’s 9.6.

the power of downtime

yeh

though Tower and Circle has NINETEEN insert scenes

those aren’t even all mostly me. unlike last chapter <.<

er last … session?

subchapter?

as I’m also like “let’s do another scene sometime” even as I mock myself for it

:D

tbh, GM hat on,

way better to have over-enthusiastic players than under

OH LOL

?

teak i didn’t even notice i could sticky threads before

<3

(also ty GM hat wearer)

god rereading old scenes and you’re funny

so many good jokes

im da best

sometimes

though

I am kinda curious WHAT aurelius’ inventory looks like

is it just like. a giant storage unit?

how does he FIND shit?

probably looks like a fucking garbage dump on the inside tbqh

probably hell to find anything if you can’t just the Find function

just imagining him pulling something out and it’s vaguely dirty because it got stuck beneath like. the dirtbike tires.

haha

do all the members of the sunglasses spark have sunglasses or is it just the ones who are being directly piloted (or are supposed to be directly piloted oops) by Jorule?

like is there a collection of raybans in there?

mostly just jorule

tragic I was hoping for a sunglasses fashion show

alas

amazing

I just wanted to roll and see if I could get a 4 but nope :(

no 4 for u

#cursed

whelp 6th roll is the charm

lol
