all right. I was going to set the scene with Salme waiting for Aurelius to come out of the forge? if that works for you?
yeah sure
so. I was thinking. to give you can Excuse To Roll, we could play through this and see who wins. Maybe you get to ascend some dice? If you want. Was just a thought.
or it can happen offscreen
haha
rendieviews
ice
honestly not all that worried about it
ice that isn’t
that isn’t how you spell that
that isn’t even close
i know it’s not sometimes the fingers do what they want
rendezvous
it’s french
im aware
okay I’ll just … eat that psychic damage I guess
that’s definitely why i’m taking so long to fix it
by “not that worried about it” do you mean you don’t care about dice rolling and we don’t play through it? b/c that’s fine too just not sure what you mean
rollin dice
ꙮ i love aurelius so fucking much
unfortunately for her, Salme does too
ꙮ XD
owned
ꙮ buncha sassy salamanders tonight
she is … so easy to bait
I’m a little embarrassed for her
ꙮ i also love salme
she’s literally falling into every stereotype and joke aury has made at her expense right now
ꙮ sklohfgjojiudsfjhpiotedsjhiptjh
ꙮ [dying]
ꙮ have been helplessly giggling for the last several minutes straight
this shirt that says “really, i DON’T want to fuck the giant scorpion lady” sure is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt, huh
she doesn’t! she was referencing the novel and is trying to Win at the Bit
yeah, exactly like the shirt says
lskdfjaosfdj ice I’m gonna kill u
:3
ꙮ Cute,
is that scene?
hmm yeah I think so
salme makes some truly horrendous concotions at the mongolian bbq
but we probably don’t need to play through that
that’s ok aurelius does have basic cooking skills all hope is not lost
hdsfoijadspofjfd
she does too she just likes Spicy Things and Spices
and doesn’t know how to edit probably?
who wins at the toy pop gun range
hmmm
one of them does have some experience with it, but, the idea of him throwing intentionally and her getting Real Annoyed about it would work too………………………….
… yeah
that’s
that’s exactly what happens
god he’s the kind of guy who’d let her win at fucking mario kart
lolf
are fue and teak still playing xi or are you three slaying spires btw?
they’re in 11
all right I’m going to pop on to hear human voices for a bit
I think teak was talking about going to bed soon but go for it, lord knows that often a suggestion and not something actionable
lolf
: “going to bed” “in the 11 sauce with fue” are mutually opposed goals
HAHAHAH
hello hachi
ꙮ Hachiiiiiiiiiii
- Salme, The Sword-Saint has gained 1 Arete, and now has 14.
Okay Ice I do have a curiosity question. If you don’t have a cellphone, what do you do for all the fucking sites that require 2 factor auth??
I’ve never encountered a site that required one before
other than the credit card one, i guess, which has a ‘send a normal call instead of a text message’ option anyway
huh
(brought to you by my paying bills and having to 2FA into fucking everything)
do you do online banking? does that not require 2FA?
only in so far as making payments to the credit card with the debit account
truly a charmed life to not have to hunt for your phone every time you try to log into a webbed site
teakwood can have my physical address but he’ll never lay his filthy mutts on my authentication protocols
hahahah
I read “filthy mutts” as “filthy mitts,” as was no doubt your intention, but then realized you said “mutts” and am now imagining teak sending some buff furries to shake you down for authentication protocols
da furry it mob…………………
also laughed real hard at “no im already at my unlicensed therapist patient cap.” Jorule should start billing by the hour
I mean furries are inherently drawn to it. it’s a sensible leap
bonus if they’re moogle furries
ya, see.
that WAS an important node update can’t believe i missed that
honestly I was shocked neither of us had put that in there
also when the fuck did you add sword-saint seduction to the awoken’s map node
that had to have been you
it was not
and no idea how long it’s been there
sometime between March 27 and May 08. Bless snapshot function
… it was me
I’m the one who added it
orz
owned
yeah yeah
: “there’s no mirror” and yet no one can be bothered to take that bit off the node, fucking gatekeepers :(
ifuosjadoafasoipdfjos
fixed
should I make nodes for like … duškomira and zaedulf? tasna? I’m kind of replicating a lot of info at this point but the map is out of date? but people do go to the map first?
at least sometimes they do
idk do you have anything to put there, especially anything not OOC
well that Duškomira has a magical jewelery shop. that Zaed has an airship project. connections to Zaya for Duškomira and to … god should ANNARR have his own map node?
couldn’t hurt
okay. okay okay.
and Salme needs to DM Zaed anyway which I was trYING TO AVOID but
ugh should the connection between annarr and aurelius be coming from annarr or from aurelius. UGH
Not That Different
but. SLightly different
I made it match jorule’s
killing me that none of these have profile pictures but
ꙮ ilu nerds so much <3
ꙮ makin’ an apostrophe
waow
lotta unresolved pining happening on punch punch fight world
the children yearn for homoeroticism
well I think we can pin the homoerotic yearning on one particular person really.
and! you gave us some heterosexual pining too, icecylee
a little bit, as a treat
ꙮ how is it MY fault
you’re writing all the homosexual pining????
ꙮ the homosexual pining was here when i got here!!!
hmm
x to doubt
also I almost asked if annarr or aurelius was more of an autistic loner but realized it had to have been the guy cluelessly embroiled in a weird snarl of pining
really couldn’t just say ‘pot’
ꙮ a tetsubin is not a teapot!!!!
… it’s a pot for making tea
didn’t get that specific??? BUT ALSO THAT’S LITERALLY HOW IT TRANSLATES
Salme is not asking if the lynx metahuman is a member of the harem that may or may not exist btw
but she thought it
ꙮ it’s!!! a pot for heating water!!!
ꙮ ”kettle” would be an appropriate translation but
ꙮ this is cast iron btw. zaya is 100% flexing
well it’s working? Salme is appropriately impressed
genuinely a catherine brainfart but we’re rolling with it
extremely funny because salme had a very distinct ‘wow how in the FUCK do i compete with THAT’ moment about it
oh she’s remembering now
unfortunately “salme’s pace” is “fastball straight down the middle” to borrow certain hachi-roku parlance
DID SOMEONE SAY BASEBALL
alas he is Asleep or that certainly would summon him
<Jorule> try being chill and normal
<Salme> [opens with that]
ꙮ ”it’s dumb that we can’t ALL be in a gigantic bisexual cuddle orgy” is the most teakwood campaign assed thing a person could possibly ever say
lol
: “voracious omnivores” has salme wondering about some of the vore pulp novels she found
ꙮ lkvrfdojgboietdhjib
lemme know what I gotta roll
I will rewrite that whole scene, but I figure you don’t want that
ꙮ you got the sexyimportant parts
I mean you can reread the scene IC as Zaya and have her flip out (homosexually)
Salme would end when Jae melts the sword and she says “Thank you”
ꙮ <salme> how could anyone in any universe ever think im hot
ꙮ <also salme> [does that]
tbf she’s gathered Zaya thinks she’s hot
she’s a bit baffled and flattered by it

ꙮ And scene, I think?
yes
THANK YOU TEAK
ꙮ thank YOU that was lovely
that was very long and arduous and it is very late
lol poor Zaya
ꙮ ’arduous’ i will chew on you
ꙮ believe it or not it’s not THAT hard for me to play an esoterically horny lesbian
okay well I didn’t intend for her to just come out the gate with “HEY WANNA HEAR MY COMPLICATED FEELINGS ABOUT THE PAST*
aoisdpfjaopewijrfopaejfoi;adsf
man
that poor girl
I actually had to edit a couple things to make them LESS gay
ꙮ lmfao
like she originally cupped Zaya’s cheek at one point and I was like “… this is Too Gay and Salme Knows now. I can’t get away with this”
ꙮ grefdgjkmipopoertdfujhgoiejthbutoeujthuteijhg
ꙮ tiny details that didnt make it into the scene: the catgirl who brought the tea is someone who had a job at the bazaar but was super overstimulated and nervous around Lots of People so Jae hired her to work the back-of-house of the castle and then Zaya took her on as an assistant and is teaching her to do accounting and shit
cuuuute
zaya is such a good person
♪ Now playing: What Swims Below? · queued by Luĉja, The Clockwork Knight
ꙮ hello
hello
I haven’t made trouble recently
missed u teo
ꙮ okay well i learned two things today, one of which is that 酸菜 packs a punch, and another is that it’s fuckin tasty if you cook it with ginger, garlic, and chilis
ꙮ how the fuck do I get my sauerkraut to be this Vigorous, wowzers
ꙮ thought this meal was going to be a disaster at every moment up until I put the first forkful into my face and then was deeply pleased to have been mistaken
now he’s fukkin talkin’ in kanji
lol
ꙮ いや、あれは中国語だったよ。もっとも、漢字を使って話そうと思えば、それもできるけどね
ꙮ G-d I’m so rusty
yo quiero el tacobell
ꙮ anyways 酸菜 is like sauerkraut if sauerkraut had a fucking attitude, it’s made out of some kind of bastard brassica from hell, i love it
…kimchi?
ꙮ uhhhh it’s. very tangentially related to kimchi but in a very different and much sauerkrautier direction
ꙮ instead of being spicy and effervescent it’s just “punches you in the mouth” sour lacto-fermentation
ꙮ which if you have a weird sense of nostalgia for like, extremely authentic Chinese food because of a friend’s mom you knew when you were a kid who could get you to try literally anything, pushes a bunch of buttons haha
ꙮ kimchi is. objectively tastier both as an ingredient and as a snack, i cannot imagine just mcfucking. chowing down on a dish of 酸菜 personally whereas if i have a jar of kimchi in the house i will rapidly have an empty jar instead
ꙮ but i do not regret purchasing it at all
I’m around! Did we have a goal in mind for tonight’s session?
lol let me look back thru the linkpearl posts real quick
OH okay so at the very least doing some methexis experimentation—Salme wants to share her memory of her omniclast experiments
Ooh, okay.
Other than that Catching Up. They haven’t talked since Samudra I don’t think
Yeah, basically. Wolf might counter-share some of his dream imagery
ꙮ Put Salme And Wolf In A Jar
ꙮ where are they hanging out?
uhhh is this still the Same Day?
(somewhere Aurelius is rolling his eyes)
ꙮ at least 2 days have gone by according to my very unofficial vague sense of time passing. could be 3
ꙮ it’s either late or early
early on the next day? could just be at the hotel. IDK what wolf would want to do; Salme’s been running around like a crazy person
Late feels right, after a day of exploring and stuff. Wolf probably doesn’t have a hangout spot preference–maybe the hangout room in the Library?
Salme popping into the library after her tea-time with Zaya? That would work
Yee, yeah.
ꙮ not in THIS scene but at some point one of you fuckers needs to get Wolf playing pool. For. Reasons.
ꙮ ”It’s Pretty Relentlessly Horny Here”, Says Local Woman Who Just Had The Horniest Tea In The History Of The Sundered Worlds, On Purpose
NOT local woman, ty
ꙮ i mean in the sense that, at the moment, you possess the property of locality to the Beast
:P
ꙮ vnfjnjththjgfijhfgjhtfgihjij i love. salme and wolf. so much
wolf is so cute
ꙮ he IS
salme won’t say it but she is thinking it

hate the start of this song because i expect it to do the large uptempto sweep like the chrono cross song it’s channeling and it distinctly does not do that
ꙮ hahahahah
should I write the entire scene? mostly I want to see if Wolf can make any sense of a particular moment, but Salme wants him to see the whole thing
I mean, you probably don’t need to write the whole thing–I’ve read the scene and I can go back and reread it–but let me do my bit, and if you need to focus me in on something, do it

Meanwhile, Wolf’s just over there thinking “hmm, wow, the world is even weirder than I thought, that’s neat.”
hahahahaha
Salme got used to being like “hm. I don’t have a destiny. I’m existing for the first time. that’s neat!”
and now she’s like “fuuuuuuuuck”
While Wolf’s not nearly so concerned about something like reincarnation as he would be “someone actively fucking with his mind”
Alas, one must needs get to bed–it’s a WFH day tomorrow, but I still need to be, y’know, conscious.

ꙮ huge agree, ilu ice
ꙮ to be clear the implication was not that the vision from Sorrowful Memory was the memory they recalled? Like there was A Duel but the environment, at least, was very different
it wasn’t???
oh yeah I know it was different, it’s just that they were both from the previous world
some other weird fukkin place with non-burning nm rings set up for salme and wolf to not make out in
dude now you’re accusing salme and wolf of sexual tension?

dont blame me the shippers can’t be stopped

idk you mention them all the time not me
that’s … fair
man I’m so tired of you winning our stupid arguments

ꙮ I specifically mentioned a slate-grey glass structure with sunlight filtering in, that was floating in the fucking sky, as opposed to “in a tower while the world was actively ending”!!!!!!
yeah I parsed that as “same place, pre apocolypse”
dueling circle is gold-inlaid instead of black
ꙮ good thing i specified!
ꙮ imagine, there being two dueling circles in the world
ꙮ what a concept

ꙮ was the fucking session called “there’s more than one of everything”
yeah EXACTLY
fucked up there’s no logs for v0 or BF now :(
that is a genuine tragedy I’ve been sad about, as someone who’d like to perv on logs
ꙮ T_T i’m. real sad about that yeah
also ice, either option is okay, but did aurelius see salme’s message via linkpearl (from yesterday) or did it get buried?
i saw ‘em, think i was planning on saying he was busy and didn’t see it until Later tho
that’s fair and it makes sense, just wanted to make sure
ye ye
he is NOT leaving her On Read or just going “ok” tho no
(briefly almost did that in my Barely Awake state and then was like ‘lol no he wouldn’t just say okay and nothing else’)
(oaidjflkaesjlk;fjewlf)
I’m imagining if you did and then Salme does have to throw herself in the chasm
RIP
I might try to grab you for another scene before the group session, but hachi expressed interest in dealing with Existential Dread Salme and she’s also still trying not to make herself Aurelius’ problem
even though I suspect the whole thing she’s Made Up In Her Head has a very simple solution
HACHI TAKE THE WHEEL

w…was there a difference?
or did it just refer to the three goddesses
ꙮ i was talking to hachi, ice, get with the program
I took it to mean fayth->faith, because we started out literally beleagured on all sides, only being aware of our own existence, and it was faith that there was Something Else Out There that kept our group going back out
but also fayth->gods/goddesses b/c multiple meanings because we were seeds of light
ꙮ that was definitely the implied reading yeah. “fayth” was a load-bearing noun i THOUGHT - like, it’s the word in FFX for “summoned entity” and that was a whole Thing, the door premise was “you’re viper pilots except instead of flying vipers you’re flying summoned demigods”

teakwood important question
are there any four-legged metahumans we’ve encountered
a truly baffling question to ask in this moment, i shall never know your mind
: “even me” I’m love him
ꙮ sorry i was seized with the sudden need for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
ꙮ somehow, shockingly, you have not met any quadripedal metahumans no
instead of just “humanoid” I was going to say “each two-legged and four-legged humanoid” but then I was like “wait are there quadrupeds”
IT’S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME???
ꙮ the Awoken sees ur Web and raises you one (1) Vast (it’s very sexy of him)

I might rotate that at you since I have a better grasp on the cast now

they ARE cute
they are also complete dumbasses

which helps the cuteness imo
look they helped her out in a bad moment. she’s attached.

god that gives me a great idea actually
i think murdering the sun will actually give her MORE anxiety but i mean, go for it
nah just seasonal depression
she needs that seasonal depression lamp (the centrelight)
(or the truth that loves)
honestly 1 hour mandated hours in front of the truth that loves, no tomestone, might fix her?
hahahaha
it’s that got dang tomestone
it’s actually not she would have been Worse pre-Jorule doing damage control. unfortunately you gotta hand it to her unlicensed therapist

turns out when you don’t have any details in mind teak IS capable of filling in the details
(also sounded more like one sided pining but)
(absolutely one-sided pining I couldn’t think of a better way to word it)
well yeah but The Details are inevitably “Have You Considered Sad Gay Pining”
ꙮ HAVE you, though
well Annarr clearly did and went “… nah”
Zaya is impressively Gay Pining for someone who is in a relationship
(admiring, awed)
ꙮ XD
The privilege of a Pure Heart is that it is impossible to be out of character.
If you were constrained by “who you are”, how would you have free will?
Hell Yeah
<3
even if that still lets jorule off the hook for being Right too often
dats why they call him the angel of truth
: is it?
I think this is Jorule self-reporting
idk what that means
you said “dats why they call him the angel of truth” but I can only rely on Jorule’s self-reporting for “they call me the angel of truth because I’m Right all the time”
why else would they
he’s Seeking The Truth
IDK
I want to believe in a world where Jorule is Wrong Sometimes
rude
monstrous, even
cruel
EXCITED

scorpion harness https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearset/scorpion-harness
oh shit i didn’t realize 14 had a legit scorpion harness now, though I was aware of the lower level shared model versions kicking around lol
I think it’s just a glamour piece from eureka haha
ah that makes sense
I need to make a library collection of all the times we’ve described our new outfits so I remember what everyone’s wearing
are they jorule sunglasses or aviators
I did start cataloguing them in the codex but I’m behind
ꙮ gahahah oh man that would rule. just a folio of all the hot things you people wear
naw different style, he’s not wearing aviators while jorule and SQ are both doin’ it
hahahah
more sports style, smaller and more form fitting around the eyes
hell yeah
SHE’LL BE COMING ROUND THE MOUNTAIN WHEN SHE COMES

ꙮ loooooooooool
is it appropriate/possible to negotiate stakes in this Rite? Archie has an idea kinda
ꙮ What do you have in mind, although there’s something structural happening here that’ll probably lead me to say no
Jesus Christ that card
okay I was wondering if they had legs
how do they move do they just … slide around???
♪ Now playing: The Rite ~ Steel Meets Fang · queued by The Dragon
nvm! I was literally just gonna make the stakes their fins versus our limbs so that if we win the rite the glass sharks can still survive and repopulate because Archie’s lowkey concerned it’s an overhunting issue
- You hear — and your Star hears — a song, echoing from the stillness: The Rite ~ Steel Meets Fang
ꙮ Rite is up btw
ꙮ Left lane first?
sure but I get snipe
Snipes first
appreciate this version being a spanish guitar mix lol
This is great
Very Bastion
yeah
I love this fight music yeah
Also Archie has a very silly hand so please look forward to it
teak I was going to snipe that
ꙮ Oh shit snipe first yes sorry! Lemme
actually nevermind
watcha snipin
I’m gonna hit chain lightning but can change it
I’m doing shed scales of the shark in front of us so do what you’re gonna do
♪ Now playing: The Rite ~ Steel Meets Fang · queued by Luĉja, The Clockwork Knight
My only move is simple, so I might as well just do it?
go for it!
ꙮ In general I think safely assume you can just Go For It unless someone specifically says they want to dual tech with you or go first haha
In my lane, I’m happy to be last up
ꙮ just realised the end of Salme’s next turn is… now, lol, what a poor tactical decision that shark just made
Sharks not always known for being the smartest
lol
does that eat my 3 burning bonuses or just 1? I think it should eat all 3, but wanted to make sure
I think that’s how it works, yeah - each time you Stress to reuse Chain Lightning you’re performing a new instance of Strike
ꙮ Yeah that’s how I read that
OH YES
ꙮ Aurelius <3 <3 <3
FOUR VOID FLARES
Making sure I understand right - you can conjure the Alethic Rites by using their activation phrases in a Rite? I think we should Libra these guys if we get the chance
When you’re building your deck, actually
wait what
yeah you have to draw them into your hand normally
I can do that if you want
Salme or I can fish for Libra probably
yeah
If you scroll all the way down to the bottom there’s a 10-eye you can click on
teo’s more useful in battle
Oh okay, cool! Noted for the future. I’m about to give you guys a bunch of card draw so that should help you get there
that is a sexy blade
so I can do it if you want
that is a sexy blade
and it’ll pop up an image. When you do that, input the konami code and it’ll give you a text bar. Then enter the Special Phrase and it adds the rite to your options
I“m also on a tiny tablet and not my normal setup, so I don’t really want to deck manipulate forever*
STRESS THAT SHARK
ꙮ Aurelius <3 x2
ayyy there’s my void flare
<3
lmao I forgot that I had this in this deck as a joke
we may not be able to libra these sharks alas
hahaha
… did you have scorpion and the frog?
I drew it!
I do in fact
have [The Scorpion and the Frog] in my hand right now
I had it in my initial draw lol
ꙮ lol, comma, lmao
I added it to my own pool of Alethics right now for truly No Good Reason
ꙮ god that card art. i cannot see that without laughing
It’s real good
also yeah salme’s scimitar is probably like, halfway between Step 1 and Step 2 of a relic aesthetically (because i can’t imagine aurelius ever making a sword as deliberately flashy as a T3 lol) where as his own weapon is based on a dungeon drop lol
you’ll have to parse those words for me l8r
Wolf can you take out our glass shark in one hit? if not I can help
Yeah, I can. Gimme a sec…
Uhhh…did the rite just glitch out for anyone else?
It occurs to me that very few if any combats actually require infinite damage and so really in most Rites Archie is just kinda slinging around murder-soup
glitch in what way?
it always is for me lol
ꙮ Refresh the page? It’s behaving fine for me at the moment
seems fine to me
refresh generally fixes anything weird it does
I’m gonna take a screenshot first just so I can send that to teak…
ꙮ yespls
Okay, refresh has everything back in its correct place
oh did it shove it into a corner?
ꙮ it was the “everything in gay baby jail in the corner” disiconnected websocket- yeah
ihfsjkd;kjdslf
[LAUGHS]
haven’t gotten one of those in a long while
it mostly just stops letting me see hover-over text or stops letting me click on things these days lol
yeah those are the main ones
(hey hachi or someone else with void flare, who wants to do something really sexy to a shark?)
and as long as we don’t throw around too many statuses everything else seems to be mostly fine too
(but not like. sexy to a shark)
we don’t kink shame
hell yeah
buff me buff me i got more def to eat through
I mean my next turn is basically dark prophecy on two void flares and rage and then if anything’s still alive it won’t be on my next turn
oh awesome
oh yeah you got yourself covered lmao
I needed more targets
I’m two turns away from auto-killing a minimum of one enemy per turn
if glass sharks weren’t extinct before they will be now
alas lane restrictions mean I cannot stick tracer on the Defensiest Shark Around
overfishing ;(
appears in round 2 get ya every time
: :(*
Oh Aurelius I forgot but you should have 1 Defense because I played my first non-Strike rite of the combat on my last turn
aha
cool…
Cool. Back to spamming Defense cards next round.
… h-hot
helllll yeah
Awoken - get +1 Def from your robot friend
I think I’m just dead here :(
oh phew it didn’t go for the OHKO on me
that’s still A Lot
How does it get two cartds in one turn?>
ꙮ [Shed Scales!] gets Quick
oh fuckin does it? Gonna edit my shield deck
OH SHIT SALME dayuummmm
SALMEEEEE
SAL-MEH
ꙮ HOT???????????
wait shit you don’t live that
Aaaaaa
She absolutely does?
ꙮ Yeah she does
oh wait shit I did math badly
ꙮ Not with much more HP than Aury would have lived it with I don’t think but she does
Did you play my favorite game and reverse HP?
Because that’s me every combat
For some reason I got confused and mixed up remaining HP with spent HP, yeah
yeah same
ꙮ okay I got my stupid combo off i can die happy
just like me fr
I got to use big damn hero for once even though
it turned into a clown shoes moment
ꙮ ALSO Salme was sexy
ꙮ the Awoken agrees with me and is correct
BOOM
it was a good play!
yeah that’s pretty awesome
oh you also went down to 2 stress so I guess it wasn’t too different but. still made sense
I mean again support’s not going to OHKO anyone
It’s A Team Effort
wait I didn’t get to go yet
ꙮ Sorry about that I got too excited about trying to KO Salme
<3
ꙮ ALSO aurelius that was hot <3
100%
oh shit, gotta change my turn now
Question: if we heal someone at maxed out stress, do they get back up?
nope
This is the first time it’s happened, huh?
Fuck. Okay.
I’ll be fine
probably?
Yeah I think the thing is that you just get forced to retreat from the Rite
yeah
we haven’t Lost The Rite
excellent use of morsitation
ꙮ yeah she’s not Dead or even knocked out but she Can No Longer Participate
ꙮ (can still make commentary though)
ꙮ Gahahahahah
Okay I have a question
Would Omen FOrgery on Awoken’s VF that’s been made quick make two more quick VFs?
ꙮ uhhhhhh i think so?
hahahahahaha
Omen Forgery can only target cards in the deck, not in the hand, so no
ꙮ oh can it?
oh damn
hahhaah
is ok
If they were discarded and shuffled back in then yes but in this case no
I am abotu to obliterate these two in front of us
I wanted to get a punch in first
yeah!!
fuck yeah!!
mad lucja!!!!! get their ass
… cool
if you get the two in front of us then when the lane collapses I can help with the ones in the left still up
ꙮ HFEGFJUgkjgj

holy shit indeed
salme’s most sorry about upsetting everyone oops
HELL YEAH
ꙮ Holy fucking SHIT <3
pow
that’s fucking wild aaa
h-hot
AWoken is a walking black hole and it is HOT
ok bear with me for a sec
HE IS SO HOT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BLACK HOLE AND IT’S GOOD
also extremely real
it’s time for The Big One
FUCK EM UP
If one of them survives whatever this is, I request the next hit–unless Aury wants it?
GET THEIR ASS
ꙮ OKAY
ꙮ here’s what’s gonna happen
ꙮ Archie, Aurelius, and Wolf are all going to do something cool as fuck
sure, although I don’t think I’m doing a kill shot
objection. They are more than likely going to do something hot as fuck, because that’s how we roll here.
ꙮ lmao true
ꙮ they Do Not Have Anything Left and at this point I want to see your decks do the thing that they do rather than I care about litigating the finer points of the mechanics haha
ꙮ (i.e. if you’re doing the silly combo with Wolf you can just. Say how many cards you’re tossing down)
archie playing 52 pick up
: glances over at the game table My Lord

fukken incredible on that btw

excellent deck manipulation
and then just whiting out
ꙮ that was
ꙮ real good
Took me a second to find the line, and at one point I realized that for some reason Brilliance disappeared from my deck? But at that point it was fully deterministic because it was the only thing I could have drawn as my third card from Feint so I narrated it like it was still there
ꙮ hahahah yeah I remember seeing it in your deck and going
ꙮ Oh Boy
As for the impact, with how infrequently my deck gets enough turns to do the thing and how long of a turn I have to take to make sure I can actually do it, I gotta give it the full sell, lol
