man I love that Luĉja’s dog gets a tag

there was a reason at the time and i can’t remember what it was

he’s on a rite card?

i did kinda laugh at that yeah

I was delighted

Hmm… only problem with giving aury a new weapon is that i can’t… really… imagine him fighting without using both hands….? and a 2h gunblade seems sillier than a 1h one, somehow, on top of not being all that different from a 2h sword… is he just… going to be super dumb… and go gunblade + dagger…………..

gunblade polearm

gunblade on a spear

the humble bayonette

a mental imagine of them connected via chain did flash before my eyes before i was like ‘wait this is maybe too dumb lol’

there is nothing too dumb

I am designing Salme’s beast outfit as we speak and it is Extremely Dumb

haha

if I can’t convince my brain the movements make sense it’s too dumb!!

tho now I’m thinking about noctus and teleporting swords………………………

:eyes:

I mean you do have portals going

> whoever made this system without implementing proper threading was a goddamn criminal btw.

teakwood, the exotic snacker

hahaha

: “ i am, in fact, an incurable optimist. i think two things are true.” is there a teakwood character who isn’t?

why because she and ice have the same fucking deranged typoing habit?

lol real glad I’m not trying to play more than one character since Salme insists on tone-switching like an insane woman

mad respect for you, teak

bitch has NOT penned a letter home in ages, only work documents

usually, though when he gets into Gossip Mode he’s a little less so

honestly the Real Question is if Aurelius is going to get a fancy outfit change too

he doesn’t need one but will he be able to resist?

wasn’t planning on it at least

fair enough. you’re already contending with changing weapons

not that either of those things is particularly exhausting

well thinking up designs is exhausting

shit i just do that idly in the background lol

well I mean there is an argument for aurelius modifying his clothes considering: peacock and also considering: walking around in Annarr’s … entire … body

you’re right, it’s cyborg time

oh god

I meant he can’t change the body but he can change the clothes

but I mean if he wants to saw off some limbs and go part endjinn salme will love him anyway

would she still love him if he was a worm

I mean considering her rate of “loving weirdos” yeah probably

also luckily for me he is NOT salme and thus would not go nuclear after considering ‘perhaps this should not be my body’, god bless the undine nature

: “This is my boyfriend, Awoken,” (normal human) “and my other boyfriend, Aurelius” (holds up one of those clear plastic cages you take home like. reptiles from the petstore in. it’s got some nice moss and lots of dirt and just. an earthworm)

lol

big Fakir/Ahiru energy @ end of princess tutu if you’ve seen it

lololol you just say that because you’re obnoxiously undine yourself

… god I do not even want to think about Salme occupying a body that isn’t hers

listen there was a world where i played a much, much more aggressive character here but it’s not the one we wound up in

I know you can do it! I just think your undine superiority vibes are There

lol it is so funny that Hachi and Teak are regularly just like “oh thank god Ice isn’t doing his aggressive lesbian thing”

could have been murdering so many shades :(

lololol “we go to mu first”

imagine…………..

also possibly fucked up to think about but jorule was one of the main decision makers in myth lol

I don’t believe you

actually no

I do

because super early on you jonarr was doing party leader work so well

just like “sigh this is what I gotta do”

n o e s c a p e

and like he’s being hands off on purpose

yellow dotting is so much easier when you’re aggressive tho

and I absolutely think aurelius could be leader if he needed to

he has a couple times

I would imagine

being aggressive does help

also yeah explicitly on my best asterisk behavior double asterisk initially though

teak got three easy to deal with characters in a row after one difficult one…. so next game… SHIT’S BACK ON>……………………

omg

well I’m excited

probably no one else is

hahaha

THEY HAVE GROWN COMPLACENT

fjsfslkd;fjasdlk;fjs;

is it villain monologue o’clock?

apparently

do you have any ideas yet for what you’re going to do next or have you just decided to be a menace more generally speaking?

oh just generally, I know teak’s off and on thinking of the next game but not enough to start writing shit down yet so I haven’t really put much thought into it either

that’s fair. gonna laugh if you end up being The Goodest Boy Ever instead tho

lol I just spent fucking. 3 hours drawing and designing salme’s outfit because I’m Super Cool and of course had to design it from Scratch

man I should probably draw the other outfits for people

i am playing TWO kinda laid back, lets other people take initiative characters at once and it’s really making me wanna do something more active next (tho if people actually does reboot his last game attempt that will be an easy outlit for it…)

Nice

I mean it was your choice to do that

like you could let Aurelius take the initiative once or twice

oh or are you talking about in SoG?

I forget you’re in another game

yeah lol

I mean I don’t forget but like.

that was actually doubly your choice

i made a great sacrifice for group harmony :(

I do like how you cannot imagine “initiative” without “extreme aggression” apparently?

different topics

well you said “I made a great sacrifice for group harmony”

I’m pretty sure elizabeth yellow dotted without being particularly aggressive

oh yeah just

or is that you prefer to not yellow dot without being aggressive?

i’d been planning on playing Basically Kaine to go along with the Definitely Not A Nier Character for Literal Years

OOOOH

and teak was like “please. please do not do that”

and then we wound up getting a group that was like, 2/3rds people I had very little if any interaction with,

looked and teak

and went “you know as much as i WANT to do this i probably should………… play something less likely to scare off your other friends………………………….”

lolololol

cause i sure as shit didn’t wanna potentially be the reason the game imploded after all that time

yeah. you’ve been waiting to run this game forever, right? well, not “run” but … collectively participate in it

ye ye

one of the first instances

didn’t even have the set worlds or anything

holy shit really?

and instead of writing up a character, teak wanted us to write up a story about a random world, and the plan was to collect as many of those as got written (perhaps even more than the number of players)

and then each PC would randomly be from one of those worlds (tho the amnesia thing after waking up in sanctuary was still there)

and i actually still have the file with my entry for that lol

idk if too many other people actually got around to doing it but I had an idea pretty quick

ooh. is it something you’d be willing to share?

ye

Oh, I still have mine, actually! After some digging.

I’d also love to see if you’re willing to share

Yes, after work - just had to confirm the contents were nonspoiling

:O I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else’s entry

:3

see even aury’s a bit red/tenebrous, deep down

it was cute/good

also that solo win is his. like it has to be. in my Narrative Opinion.

haha

also I feel like jorule is just pacing his enclosure (the library) yowling about how stupid it is.

like that has been what he’s been doing this entire time

also fuck I realized we left samudra too fast to have a proper beach episode.

the tragedy

RIP

not that samudra had much in the way of beaches anyway

that’s true

maybe this is epilogue shit

Hmm…!

okay would aury dual weilding gunblades be … too stupid? (I have no idea why I had this imagine in my head partway through dragon age veilguard combat but I Sure Did). Are gunblades things you can dual weild?

hahah

i guess you could but it’d probably be awkward as fuck

for some reason in this game rogue dual wields but the weapons are like. huge as fuck so I was like “well idk maybe???”

haha

considering an off hand shield now tbh

also hot AND practical. what do you use for fighting style inspo? mostly games you’ve played?

vaguely? idk if I ever take much direct inspiration from any one given then, I just tend to have a solid mental image in mind that might pull from a lot of different things or nothing in particularly. gunblades is particularly are funny since i can’t actually. recall many if any FF8 / FF14 animations off hand, despite gunbreaker being my main for years at this point… since i play at make zoom with sfx on lol

fug trying to find the dumbest note but can’t find it

i know it saw it somewhere the other day but can’t find it whomp

dumbest note?

about names and parents in myth

oooh lol

what does “make zoom with sfx on” mean btw?

oooh

it means I can see a lot of things,

… like how in nier automata when bullet hell is bulleting and you’re like “sure do hope I’m dodging”

but what my character model is doing ain’t one of ‘em

hhaha

I love the two options here

why can i not find the warning about the name eater……….. awoo

oh no he just mentioned “meeting someone’s parents would be a novel experience”

and she’s like “the fuck are you talking about”

: “you’ve been to space but not met someone’s parents?”

and i’m PRETTY SURE having parents was also on The List in addition to simply hasving a sur-name

i vaguely remember seeing the note/warning recent-ish but can’t remember where

reall need to make your storage bin searchable somehow

mfw search has been broken for over a decade

oh well

yeah I know part of me is like “could we write a script that would search for you?”

oh i’m a dumb ass it was in the shade district section at the very bottom like i thought my eyes just kept glazing over it since it only said half i what i thought it did

: pat pat it’s hard to be a lore keeper

: “jochrule”

:D

that was such a good line

aury and salme go to a play and we find out later pre memoryloss awa wrote it

:O!

also ice how do you choose a ffxiv race and character teak just told me “yearn to be a tiny gay catboy” and that is not applicable to me

we already had this discussion

you told me how YOU chose

how does a normal idiot choose

i mean realistically you are one of three people:

the world’s most boring white dude and you’re intent on your avatar being the same because you’re Not Gay (or you’re a woman who’s gotten one too many weird DMs in her time)

probably still the world’s most boring guy but you are at piece with this and want to have Hot Girl avatar instead

you are a furry and will take any opportunity given to flex this

: “what about people that play the short race” never be that kind of person

hahahhahhaha

okay what if I’m not a guy OR a furry?

then just pick the avatar you want to play dress up the most with tbqh

especially for 14

okay that is kinda useful

BUT LET IT BE KNOWN,

if you play a lalafell a lot of the outfits will kinda suck

no. those things creep me out

they’re like

baby proportioned

dislike

and yet you forcetaru’s hachi in 11……………………..

tarutaru are cute

they look like Creatures not Babies

they’re both hideous giant headed freaks of nature

well yeah that’s probably true

also YOU KNOW no one can make hachi do something he doesn’t want to do.

hachi is very bullyable

except when it’s about creating/updating character sheets, that is indeed literally impossible

man I have TRIED

I pestered him so much about leveling up for SoG when I was there

hahaha

SoG is even worse since it requires going through massive ass spell lists that have 0 good/interesting options…………

<hachi> “remind me” [is reminded] “urrrrrgh:*

yeouch

(tho we did finally hit a rank finally where we’re starting to get decent options mercifully)

(bless)

(I’ve heard a bit about hachi’s spell list woes)

yeah. yeah haha

also he said you took the coolest class

TBH I think there’s a few that might be more cool, but I did subclass into one of them so :3

and poor hachi trying to run some weirdass sorc build

divine sorcerer… what a world…………

pour one out for hachi roku

also bless Jorule for telling Salme what a vampire is

Not A Maw Eel, turns out

I didn’t decide that she had no idea right until I was like. “that would be so funny”

makes sense

you said we didn’t know what ghost were

: ghosts*

so

lalafell are good, I think

Thanks!

what a very funny to ask crimson, ie, ‘their main thing is attempting to make everything about themself’

lol

look she doesn’t have context

yeah that’s why it’s funny

SY is great

that was also a funny response to see after peter was thinking about rebooting the last mana game again lol

hm?

SY’s response?

ye

yes I laughed

wait was that last post supposed to be jorule or Aurelius?

the world may never know, the to do list looms dangerously from over the horizon

mostly I’m sort of desperate to know what Aurelius thinks of his timeshare bodysnatcher situation

but no that was ment to be jorule

and after he said awa was the most desirable

awa didn’t see that post!!!

yeah but jorule now knows his love is unrequited

tragedie

hmmm wonder if salme managed to Stay Normal when being given a weapon (in the form of a gift)

there’s only one way to find out.

what counts as normal here anyway
