hi teakwood

very briefly confused as to why the BGM in this dungeon sounded different for a second there

got to the sour lemon and … big same pads

: “Wolf’s own voice fits nicely against Ravhi’s–baritone to the Kin’s tenor, a hint of weathered rasp contrasting nicely to the Yazhn’s smoother tones.” good detail

: “Come, let’s find shade together.” Certified Kin Pickup Line (tm)

: “But I am coming to find that cities have souls and textures of their own–ones that must be lived in to be truly known.” citysong along with worldsong????

Queenstown, man.

(I just love this idea)

Queenstown!

Like, the Bazaar did have a kind of song, to him.

I mean that makes sense

Not a Song in the Worldsong sense, but…a sound, a rhythm, a cadence

yeah!

and it feels like he’d few able to see it and feel it?? like that feels very Wolf observation wise

omg Wolf is cute

or w0ld as I typed 3 separate times

found this world’s Rite Ring #waow

I’m finally here! -falls in from rugby practice-

I’m glad you’ve upgraded from one Rite Ring Only to One Per World

I do love how both Wolf and Salme have now started of like. probably the First Serious Conversation with their respective partners with “sooooooo our world is doomed”

man that is a good retelling

Agreed, on both counts!

get it, wolf

(“it” is the Data)

Ravhi: “Only God could do that.”**

Wolf: “So you’re saying there’s a possibility.”

fjksigukanf Love Him For That

yean that goes hard

>.> That’s one of the lines I’ve had in my head for two days.

…and that’s another one.

I can literally feel teak hyperventilating

SAME

Any response that takes Teak ten minutes to write–it’s when I know I’ve hit something good

I mean, same diff? ;3

yeah like … I think we all Knew you had to do that

>.> Did I kill the Otter?

oh dear

….alright, shivers RIGHT down the back

holy shittttttt

#4??

That’s a fuckin’ Disc 2 song.

(Also, that’s a fucking MYST song, Teak, I swear to gods.)

oh yeah sometimes we do that

also it ocurres to me that ravhi does not… have a theme song…? i guess that’s what precisely two minutes of silence was,

which is more unnerving the more i think about it

-pumps his fist-

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

;3

(ravhi is watched by the empty space iirc which I guess does make the silence thematic)

…wait. The Library is IN the Empty Space, isn’t it?

Probably aesterisk

Well, this could get interesting.

it’s either there or maybe in the black hole or maybe in the tube sock that connects them yeah

here for wolf being cute and boyish

you’re in peril is what you are

it’s okay we love and accept this about you

pads is probably having a lot of fun Winning against you

Wolf, baby. We knew where you were going.

^^this

Listen, let the boy think he’s sneaky for five minutes.

He’s not, and it’s adorable, but let him imagine.

(And much as I want to keep doing this scene FOREVER, I have to teach a class tomorrow. >.>;)

rip

It’s my first time. I’m so nervous. -laughs-

: hugs

also u could stay the night with your dragon boyfriend

I mean dragon “we’re exploring our options”

-big hugs!-

Cat, this much emotional openness, for them? That is sex, practically.

<salme> doubt

<salme> GET DICKED DOWN BROTHER

<salme> OR DICK HIM DOWN

<salme> NO JUDGMENT EITHER WAY

Y’know, there’s no reason the scene-cut has to be him leaving…

GET THAT DRAGON DADDY

[high-fives fen]

<3

I think I said that -at least 3 times- this last weekend. LOL

<salme> “we aren’t worried yazhn ravhi”

lolololol

Unless you’ve got something more, Teak, I can’t top that line

rip

I also noticed that Narr-kun stayed, for the most part, tastefully out of the way. XD

-dryly- Great, narr-kun’s in the cuck chair.

Narr-kun watching the show!

narr-kun’s in the cuck chair I’m

Given their writer…no…

oh yeah no there was no doubt

though does being IN the cuck chair require an ability to NOT be in the cuck chair?

if you are just in the cuck chair by your nature as an observer is that something else?

(I’m going to start winding down for bed, but I’ll be on Discord until I crash)

: O

teakwood is a con man, this is the same song!!!!

inflating the song count like that

wait

wait

shit

fuck

in mem was disc 2 tho lol

phampi and recollect were both 1!!

is this the VALAIS version of the song

it can’t be the beast

salmone why did you unlock the valais version when you were picking on archie

i guess it was very tenebrous of you

??? was that not the incredibly bewildering song that played when they were dualing archie with A Presence helping him

hmm

I’m not smart enough to know what this all means

it means we’ve been SHORTCHANGED on OUR EXP

i demand to speak with your manager

also excited to hear all 5 mashed together

why am I getting blamed for picking on archie?

I did no such thing

also this is Fucked Up Shit

the children are confused and frightened by lit motives, teakwood. they’re too radical for them to process

<3

yo fam, these motives are lit fr fr

this motive is … something

forgot to get high on Beast and now we’re missing a track rip

is “Do I Remember You?” the beast one?

judging by position it should be yeah

Seems the most likely, I think, yeah

random guess: Jae/Zaya reincarnation nonsense

(immediately after Rite Remix on the other two, so)

well and they all have to do with memory in some way

except fucking

widdershins waltz

That one has to deal with “going back” kinda

Rewinding The Dance

Yeah

kinda sorta parsed for high victorian society that we’re assuming exist but may not

reverse yeah

counter clockwise

Against the sun, as it were

: “I used widdershins so i could be slightly more subtle when shoving anti-sunwise in there” would be Peak Teak

Yes

Don’t you deflect

You know full well that two things can be true.

Kartesthie, Kartesthie

too lazy to link all four songs together so they just aim at pal since it was first

the heck did you change

oic

having hover over for the lines now is fucking with me

yeah idk if it was supposed to be there before but it wasn’t lol

looking at the activity page and again going “… the … hunter who?”

oh

I just

finally

figured out what Fajrofero means

… I don’t like that

whats a fajrofero other than vaguely being similar to noised mario and luigi make

the noise mario and luigi make I’m…

: “burnt offering”

in esperanto apparently

or “fire-offering”

kinda always did wonder what happened to those revenantoj who jump down the hole

why do you not like that answer, i don’t recall the word being used off hand

well it’s generally a term that implies a sacrifice given to the gods?

right i mean, why was the definition of this word haunting you

I guess it seems like Someone Is Probably Getting Burnt?

especially since the track before that is the Deepforge Expedition?

I mean maybe not!

oh, it’s the title of a song,

but it just seems like “someone gets incinerated”

OH

yeah

ok that’s the context i was looking for

Important Context aoiewrjaoipefjo

me just being like “I am upset this word Generally Exists” yeah ok I get why you were confused

yeah lol

also desperately curious what “Rite of Root-Binding” is

especially since Libra called Salme a “root-binder” and bitch doesn’t have any clue what that means

roz-whatever

what?

the word that isn’t sproutling

almachadta memes

RHIZOME?

ye

ice how are you

one of the smartest, funniest people I know

and also a fucking dumbfuck

uhhh lowkey think i have a very mild dyslexia

I also, generally, do not spend a lot of time thinking about naked soil free plants

: “naked soil free plants”

that’s

that’s not what a rhizome is???????

idk you’re the baby plant expert not me

: “naked soil free plants”

ty i took a few seconds to workshop that one instead of immediately hitting enter

it really did pay off

roz-whatever

naked soil free plants

i legit just couldn’t think of the word rhizome despite my best efforts and only vaguely recalled those letters being part of the word i was looking for tho

: “almachadta memes” was … inspired honestly

pls jorule explain what a meme is to salme it’ll be Good

a meme is what happens when you write a biography about the hacker dolphins

did we not get exp with the other three songs played,

b/c the dragon is a jokester,

and showed us the experience other other lives

we did not get exp

indeed I do not know how we get exp or why we got it that one time

maybe if we sit around and reminisce about the beginning of our journey it’ll happen again?

glances at Salme logs

Seems Unlikely if it has not already helped

):

teak should give me 10 glory just for that

tragic

sexism

alas

I’m being repressed

pap

wait

wait

I’ve probably realized this before but i’m once again now actively realizing typing /me doesn’t actually DO anything

i’m glad it parses through instead of giving an error message tho

yeah I’ve been doing it the entire fucking time

20 years of IRC can’t be stopped

what did /me do in IRC?

or does I guess since I know you nerds still use it

uhhh oh right pasting here wouldn’t mean shit lol

i think if you’re using the default color pallette they’re different colors too….?

but if you’re using default you’re probably a terrorist or something anyway

judgy

It’s Real Bad

the default color scheme or your tendency towards judgment?

white background, green text, purple /mes, red notifications…?

… okay the judgment is deserved

I’m heeeeere!

Here now! Sorry for the hold-up, a very cute dog was accosting me as I put my groceries away lol

Awwwwww

<3

It REALLY does

Truly

Gonna hold off on anything substantive but I’ll get in my lil intro in the meantime

I listened to it this afternoon, it really is

It def is a Myst track, 100%.

(here)

what’s a Trigg and Gusset?

!! Gonna have to listen

are we just meeting in the common room then or do we Walk Somewhere?

Quite!

poor Aurelius wakes up in the morning with like “was I Stared At all night by some bizarre creature” and the answer was yes, but he knows that creature.

Because Aurelius is Sleeping With That Creature, in multiple ways.

it happens when you let the poorly housetrained cat-dog live in your room

If I had thought of it I would have had Archie ask for Salme’s help with the embroidery, I was just too excited about my outfit idea >.>

pleasantly rumbly

being excited about outfits and getting the chance to execute them is important.

oh yeah archie, at some point. a. comically elaborate looking parasol in three blue tones meant to look like very stylized waves, with a thin band of draping tan lace dangling from it will be just. sitting there with the rest of your stuff.

… that is a great design

… even if he synthesized it from crystals

Aw hell yeah, thanks! That’s deeply rad

Also there’s a non-zero chance that Salme’s embroidery inspires me to get into IRL bobbin lace-making

oooh that sounds really cool

I’ve been wanting to pick up embroidery again myself but. lol.

crochet still baffles and terrifies me as a craft

I could knit decently at one point, but crochet made no sense

I did embroidery in high school and I wanna get into machine sewing and making my own clothes but ??? idk I just want more hobbies where I Make A Thing With My Fingies

man making your own clothes seems Terrifying to me, but more power to you. I think people who can do that are rad (salme partly does as part of my power fantasy I guess).

I’m just tired of everything cute either not fitting me or costing absurd amounts of money

but yeah love a good “doing things with hands” hobbies

lolf yeah I mean. men’s fashion is Worse but as a plus-sized woman who is also Short you have my sympathies

ah yes sohli, totally different person from solei nodding

Far-wanderers, eh?

:lovetentacle:

I understand, Ice, it’s hard when you have the Dyslexias all 5 letter words with 4 letters in common seem the same

(that’s a joke but also that’s me with the Dyslexias too)

far-wanderers is real cute

i mean they don’t look anything alike but i imagine they sound exactly the same lol

I would think Sohli would be Soh-LEE vs. Solei as Soh-LAY

?

I was wondering if the emphasis would be on the first syllable with Sohli, but wasn’t sure, so that answers that

poor archie suddenly finding himself signed up for Craft Nights In The Annex Atelier

Oh no, how terrible

It’s been a long time since Archie had a hobby that wasn’t Research, But For Fun This Time. It’s part of why he’s latched on to Luĉja’s cooking and Salme’s embroidery for inspiration

we’re going to get that otter out of his lab

beverage sicko

Azdaja, I love you, can please stop pacing between me and my keyboard while I’m trying to type. -_-

nope

she’s got things to Say

Catte

No, it’s that she’s demanding my belly to curl around…as she has now done so. Lol

oh well that’s Important

Indeed

As she is purring and giving me the slow kitten blinks, she agrees.

everyone please pray for me that the food I just ate stays in my stomach

Ohno

That sounds Dire, I’m sorry

generally advised to leave it in there for Several Hours yeah

yeah the past day and a half that has been Not A Thing We’ve been Doing

stage whispers, RADIATION POISONING

radiant … radiation … makes you think

maybe jorule should have explained nukes to salme when he had the chance

cant comprehend radiation but terraforming’s a normal every day activity

not that that’s even a jorule thing anyway lol

well he’s the only one who knows what a nuke is

him and aurelius

terraforming makes sense. take barren land. form it into terra

Sometimes you can combine the two and use nukes for terraforming and then things get real spicy

feeding green rocks to my robot as one would a jalapeno

(Real shit though there’s a non-zero number of people who’ve proposed the nuclear terraforming of Mars)

(what got me more was her offering the term up than understanding it but yeah lol)

ALSO PROABBLY NOT THE ONLY ONE………………..

cannot imagine how polluting the soil before going in to do anything would help but i am but a simple man

eh jorule used the word terraforming in front of salme once and her shitty bird provided a definition leave me alone

Basically the idea would be to use nukes to convert the frozen CO2 at Mars’s poles into a gas to kickstart making a more hospitable and thicker atmosphere. It’s actually fascinating, I ended up having to study it in high school

aaah

also you are correct i guess he did but also bully, bully

ALSO it says terraform in the Mu entry on the traveler’s guide [bullies back]

very trust worthy news source, correct

it was enough to get the word :E

so much hostility for agreeing with you

Oh man what if we made a custom version of Terraforming Mars but it’s Terraforming Mu

<icecylee, pretending to be an idiot> “what is tone?”

I don’t think Mu needs more Nuclear Energy

but hey, maybe?

i think that’s what you guys call rite cards IC

I hate that I laughed at that

<3

(the terraforming thing mostly made me laugh b/c there was some other term she just westworlded at semi-recently but i can’t even remember what it was anymore, rip, in spite off having context for it)

get her asss with the power of love and friendship

<3 <3 <3

(look sometimes it’s funny to westworld out and sometimes you wanna Sound Smart)

(plz imagine that with the Hachi Tone)

<3

Salme’s having Emotions about that she’s just trying not to derail Lesson Time

no time for emotions you need to think up an FFT spell qoute!!!

FFT?

Emotions are for having at Aurelius in a scene at 3am

final fantasy tactics

was about to get up but i guess not

you live here now sorry

…Fen gets fuckin’ Indian pop?

What a delight!

Not me fucking CRYING as the song starts. >.>

what is more cooperative than a synchronized bollywood dance

trying to imagine what the campaign would have looked like if I had played this character lol

Or if I had.

He was one of my potentials.

Either way, wild

yeah acolyte was like my #4 choice

I like that one

sometimes I imagine Alt!Sanctuary and it’s Wild

It occurs to me - we never met the Anarchist of Samudra, did we?

Archie ended up being in many ways a mash-up of them and the Archivist

I believe I asked Teak to assign people roles that they’d ask people to play if they wanted to give them a challenge and they said the Acolyte for Pads would be Rough

not sure why

(I think Caion is the result of the Anarchist+Archivist leftovers)

which bless, we didn’t need another Meaningful A Name

Real

sometimes I get “Archivist” and “Architect” confused and it’s bad

O no

: “Why is Salme saying she wants to behead Archie—WAIT”

I don’t actually want this necessarily but it occurs to me that a sick name for a Techne that lets you roll pellucid instead of radiant in the way quick study does for flourishing is To Be Known Is To Be Loved

shitpost version: The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known

Does Salme using methexis give Archie an opportunity to share in return or would he need to learn it separately?

he can share in return!

I did it mostly so we could know what each other was Thinking if we wanted

without being Rude and Shade about it and reading each other’s internal narration

<3

amazing restraint in not going out of your way to phrase that as ‘can you feel the love tonight’

What can I say except “You’re welcome”?

ICECYLEE I just got that song out of my fucking head

RIP

You’re just lucky I haven’t dropped a ‘Hear. Feel. Think.“*

I would not get that reference alas

I know, that was mostly to get Teak in this instance. ;3

I almost unloaded that on Ravhi!

lololol

LOL!

I think you did enough damage to that dragon

I dunno, they both could probably use some Sexual Healing…

fjlasdjkf;ld

-grins-

Mischa is now singing “I have successfully hunted” song, which sounds like she is Dying

Sanctuary playlist but you can only use cheesy songs from before the mid ‘90s

somehow, it’s just 13 unique instances of Never Gunna Give You Up and a picture of the architect on the cosset tap flashing a thumbs up

honestly if the architect danced like rick astley in that music video salme would probably like him more?

cassette wtf spellcheck

cosset

you know

that word that gets used way more than cassette

Sorry this is taking a million years, I was unprepared

cuuuuute

<3

Shitpost version: “And then Archie thought of the Swifts, who he really loved most of all after all”

I MEAN THEY ARE RAD

and are also part of archie’s community

Fast Bird Appreciation

okay but when do we get to ride the giant eagles to mt doom

never, our literary references get us a giant flying dog-dragon instead

dog-dragon?

imagine an eastern dragon. now make it’s face slightly more dog-like and give it fur

but

why?

thats just how things are in the neverending story

Not sure how much more y’all wanna do, or need to do? I got y’all to unlock radiant gnosis, so I’m good to call scene whenever. Especially since it’s almost midnight here, and I gotta get my ass to bed. LOL

Speaking for myself, especially with how long it took for me to find the words I wanted for Archie’s methexis moment, I think it’s safe to say my capacity for finding good words is almost fully tapped out tonight and I don’t want the pressure of figuring out his radiant invocation right now

YES. SALME!

:^)

Awww what an awesome moment

I love that

Fuckin tearing up again. For the, like fifth time tonight. >.>

Yeahhh part of what took me so long on Archie’s moment was I kept tearing up writing it

As I was tearing up writing the responses to each of you.

<3

I’m a big softie, you know me.

I think I teared up the Least (but not 0 times)

I’ve played this character for, like, 2 sessions, I didn’t expect it to hit me like it did.

<3

<3

that’s how it be

Do we like that as the last line? A little sassy, maybe, but it’s cute

Hardly a wonder she beat him

yeah

Oop, missed the typing. Perfect

thank youuuuuu for runnning

Thaaaaank yoooooou!

Thank you all!!

thank youuu

for participating as well

word hard

also “poetry competition” isn’t really the right word for ‘salme and badri sit around and try to one-up each other with off-the-cuff composition’ but IDK what the word for that is

good zoe

it sounds more formal that it was

if Salme ever discovers Jae has that skill you’re going to have two to contend with

absolutely Very Concerned about Holy of Holies now on the OST though

hwat could that song be

also I wonder if Ravhi is going to be like. the only character that doesn’t get a song?

maybe the S&M dude will only have static

S&M?

there’s really only one named person we haven’t met that could possibly be :(

ah. “I am yet to see the holiest of holies… / Those prayers are too heavy for me to carry.” just … idk

OH I didn’t know if you were calling Ravhi the S&M dude

which Seemed Wrong

lol

but yeah, agree, the Guard-Captain does give S&M

wait,

teak

NUCLEAR WINTER,

am i on to something

somehow

that thought had never crossed my mind until just now lawl

rip

what about nuclear winter?

nuclear flavored winter

yeah but anything specific? Just the concept?

yeah nothing specific

HMM I See

omg this scene

hahahahahah

Teo. Teo.

I floated this idea on the ride home and Teak was like “Yeah, that’ll make Catherine go nuts.”

My only regret is I have an end time for this nonsense to stop at XD XD

wait meant to fuck with me specifically?? kick catherine like football??

Not just you

Thinkof it like icing

okay good

Not required for tasty cake

But it makes it more delicious

I wanted to have the scene no matter what

: screams YEAH QARINA I’D LIKE TO FIND OUT TOO

hgoily shit I am dying laughing

fucking travesty no one else can read that line

[chews gently]

meanwhile im actually getting a decent amount out of this lmao

That’s my hope

I mean I am too

I feel like this moment was some commentary on Wolf and Ravhi

and scene

Thanks, teak!

!!!!! a guy on 3 different worlds?????

zosimos…..

lmao

okay but why would he be in a book on MU

it’s in

the traveler’s guide, which I gave her

oh! right

No, her brother gave that to her.

He’s sneaky

i literally tossed it to her along with the smartphone lmao

tho i guess he could have caught it

shade brother ended up holding it

iirc

lol if her brother being like “here I got you this” when it was literally handed to her

oh lol, the message from shade showed up first on my laptop when I was playing

lolf

Must have had some refreshing page issues

Wild

it happens

fascinating. wlel, time to go volley some balls

ciao for now

volley the balls well teo!

curious about the red column

and also what about us that the shade is able to sense as “like chaya”

angel desu-ne

like is it being starwatched or is it some pure heart bs or

yeah

also when did the people on mu get angelized?

at the same time as us?

in the time haze

also what are the shades

the time haze

also i have an idea for an especially derange side scene but only if you get Real Bored lol

who’s “you” here?

(I assumed teak but I didn’t want to not respond if you meant me)

if i meant you there wouldn’t have been a question tbh tbh

forever bored at 5AM

sometimes I’m exceptionally stressed at 5am!

i believe in your ability to multitask

but you should ask teak for scenes with your whole chest because they might miss things and I like reading your scenes

except also get fucked

deeply unimportant

: “my ability to multitask”

other normal ones def need higher proprity

what’s your deranged idea? or is it a Secret

yeah a girl can be stressed and bored at the same time, i blieve in u

harassing ravhi and/or the Record Keeper in Jory Form after sideeyeing NIP

oh my god

no that’s a deeply necessary scene what are you talking about

lol would you want to tag along as jory if kuz and I go to the records place? or would shenanigans only happen Alone

it’s only Dumb and Funny if it’s alone

that’s fair

still sounds like an amazing scene

narrating differently on mu

lol could give narr-kun and jorule a chance to talk

excitinggggg

haha

lololol

tfw remembering the building instead of just leaving an orb in it

awa is convinced the locals gotta be doing something special with water in some regard

: “near-lifer”

squint

wouldn’t lemonade made you MORE thirsty than water

how so?

the sourness drying you out

idk just generally any time i consume southern style lemonade i feel like I want to drink a glass of water almost immediately lol

I’m trying to think of where I fall on that. I mean, lemonade really isn’t that sour? It’s sour and sugar in equal mix. But also I like sour things so.

: “God put me on this earth to make the best damn glass of lemonade you’ve ever had” ok i think we found the land-hillbillies to samudra’s water ones

i mean i like sour too, and it’s good, just. never feels particularly hydrating??

shit i bet these motherfuckers have invented IV drips and gatorade tho now that i’m thinking about it……………………..

hahahaha

they have those mobile hydration nurses

which, given all the evidence, implies they also got football teams somewhere

they play skins vs scales

Near lifer amazing

can you imagine playing fucking football in Mu under the sun?

underground football arena?

they wouldn’t know what non-lethal levels of sun are, they Adapt

they adapt by growing radiation poisoning protrusions

fizzy???

fizzy??????

awa are you about to get drugged lemonade shouldn’t be fizzy

cowards

RIP Awa

we knew him … about as well as he knew himself, considering the lack of memories

im just sayin’ sprite was on beast, mu was supposed to have american style

we were lied to. maybe we have to invent american style?

oh noooo

you did. you were just so excited to describe carbonation you couldn’t help yourself

I wasn’t sure if you forgot / mixed it up or like

were Doing Something Weird with your homemade lemonade

(I remembered tho b/c that was a Very Important Question and i did bring it up in a few side scenes lolf)

i miss sierra mist ; ;

[pat pat]

o7

hachiiiiii

you forgot to ask about favorite cheese

that’s just going to lead me to ask if they keep ANY livestock aside from the humans

WHAT’S THE NAME OF THAT SWEET

MORON JALEBI

WHAT’S THE NAME

Moron jalebi…………………….

Gulab Jamun

… moron jalebi

I

goo lab jamin’

why’re they growin’ frogs on trees

: “etrog” looks like frog if you don’t look at it too hard

ok

ye, especially if it doesn’t parse into an actual word

there’s an indian restaurant just around the corner from me

gonna get some gulab jamun tomorrow

… I can kind of defend “etrog” == “frog” can’t even lie

T-T I want to go back there

teakwood, not content with only measurements such as “miles” and “kilometers,” is now introducing “levenshtein distance”

of course they are

also to be clear i did not mistake it with frog, i just have never seen ‘etrog’ as a word before as “it frog” was just kinda Right There

so to be clear, you didn’t do X, you did X

wait is this actually a different thing it just looks like a lemon that goes in the 50% Off Since It Looks Weird bin

welcome to the wide world of Fucking Weird Citrus Fruits

gahahahah

: “Orichalca”??

no lies detected :D

klsdfjl;asdj

I would like a Final Awa Blasphemy Count after this scene pls

shm forgot your fiend classifications

one thing I have never said is that awa is a good student

[Invoke: Orichalca]

OH right. I think … I got confused with “aurichalcum” :(

hopefully hachi also genuinely forgot and wasn’t just humoring me

fuck we need to run now. they don’t have cheese here

human cheese nodding along

: “salme I need your assistance”

………………………………………

awa is sleeping under the sun tonight

really knockin’ this one out of the park

(they cannot catch your drift)

awa loading the heresy machinegun

love how he worded that like he had eaten a human before

fjklsadfjl;sa;dfk

Okay idk about anyone else but I heard “Okay, let me back up a lot here.” in hachi’s voice like. Perfectly.

: “I don’t think most humans make for particularly good eats, or make a decent vest, and their bones aren’t much to write home about, so you’re safe among us”**

I’m

i did not read it in hachi’s voice but only because i read it in aurelius’ instead

it was definitely very aurelius coded

hachi’s aurelius or ice’s aurelius?

yes

lol

…………………………. oh no

<Awa> “I’M AT THE MILK FACTORY AND ALL THE JUGS ARE EMPTY”

oh my GOD

hachi roku

what, kathyerine

you are a menace to society

yeah, mu society

I’m literally

oh my god this entire scene is so …

it has gone off the rails a bit

xilia rollin’ in his fields, he warned you about no babie bro, he warned u

I’m

I’m gonna be honest if he said all that stuff during the full cast session I completely forgot about it

ahahah

awa was drunk clearly

he did. Aurelius got in a “oh, I’m glad I didn’t have a childhood” line too

I do like how Salme’s preference in planes can be distilled down to “how hard is it to describe a cow to someone from there?”

(scene needs to be renamed to “Got Milk?”)

ghahdsghgahagdshalk;dhg;

wait

how did we have ice cream if there’s no dairy

iced oatmilk is not the same

if you put enough sugar in your water and believe, anything is possible

it’s really, really not

you need more jesus in your life

you can have caramel macchiato with oat milk here

: squints I don’t believe you

I have tried too many Frozen Nondairy Desserts to believe you

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Spray

(Mu would be great for Catherines, but Salme does Not have a Dairy Disorder)

idk it doesn’t seem like she’s likely to get dis order of dairy any time soon…………………………………….

…………………………………………………..

you tried

hahahah

excited to ask Awa how his evening/day out on the town was

: “I’m pretty sure these people hatch from eggs, Salme”

WHO LAYS THE EGGS???

ghhahaahahah

I’m just imagining the fucking Yazhn of Yazhns laying a clutch of fucking eggs

: “god does, salme!”

god is a chicken

it’s all coming back around

HMM

SALT AND SUGAR

this one’s a hell of a soft ball

they have to have a way to freeze things. how the hell do they make frozen treats otherwise????

freezing’s not hard with the power of science gnosis, but idk about long term cold storage

maybe they got a dope ass super cellar

haha

brb wc

waiting for a “food doesn’t rot here” or something in this batshit world

: “only humans rot”

thats the power of original sin, baby

part of me wants to argue

and part of me is just too enamored of “that’s the power of original sin, baby” to say anything at all

lolf

o no

ach that sucks :(

: “It’s not like everyone has access to a time-frozen hole in space where you can just put things and have them exist, unchanging, for millenia”

I’m

he’s so cutehot?

also I can’t believe “food doesn’t rot here” was … correct??

wait if their food doesn’t rot

found the person with the unfulfilled lactation kink

how do they make bread

or booze

because neither of those things are rotting it just has help from our friend yeast

is that why xilai was such a DIY Beer Guy, had he never had it before

it’s rotting it’s just rotting in a good way

it was mead

s…cene? I feel like that’s a hilarious place to end it

mead, beer, same thing

how can you stop now i just made Popped Corn

yeah! entertain us

i was thinking of you when i slammed the door shut yes

the mircorwave, presumably?

yeah

not all of us attempt to make sweet love to the kernals in an attempt to Excite them, some of us use killer death rays instead

dsfjlkasdfjls

thank you for running teak wood

thank you both for … whatever that was?

amazing, certainly

horrifying?

those too

again you could have gone for 4 more hours of that and I’d have been happy to read along

updated the planewalker’s guide; lmk if I missed anything

hasn’t been much to miss yet

well, yes

nevertheless, there were little bits of detail

ok so with 280k give or take years of terraforming, they still haven’t made enough Fields so that you can’t see desert from the city???

yeah that’s

something’s Weird

Hmm,

still gives the impression it’s Not Quite As Big As You’d think though, I think?“*

EXTREMELY fucked up of them to refer to months as moons tho yes

yeah Jorule’s about to get a text about that I think

also belated ohay one for each month @ beast moons

WAOW

people would DO that? just go out and write LIES on STELE PLACARDS??? D:

I mean if the grove itself is That Old and the trees are replaced when they die that’s normal

stop letting ur trees die

also guess what number is a multiple of 6 :)

idk kat what number is a multiple of 6

279,930

oic

:3

seven!?

oh NOW we’re respecting monotheistic deities??? Eat The Fruit

surely nothing bad could happen from stealing a single, delicious fruit from God’s garden

<guy who was posting about original sin a couple hours ago> eat the fruit you coward

:sunglasses:

I mean, she mostly doesn’t want to get Caught

blame it on the - whatever they keep as house pets around here other than humans

I think it’s just humans

blame it on the human in the group

- wait

I was going to say “Salme’s the only strictly human human in the group” and then I forgot about Awa

then I struck him off the list immediately because that boy is Weird

salme being the only Confirmed Human was the crux of the joking “- wait” at the end there yeah

be real weird if awa was a human considering he’s eaten one before tho tbh

honestly “blame it on Awa” would probably work because I think he’d just charm anyone who tried to hold him accountable

be funny if they had to bail Salme out of Heresy Prison tho

hmm

I would like to visit a Heresy Cave

(and that’s scene unless you have something to add)

you’re welcome!!!

also thank you

i c

oipafjds;wej

Teak

you did describe Only Just Barely Visible Moons Mostly Hidden By Clouds And Overcast and i’m not insane right

oh uh on Samudra

hmmmmMMMMMM

i could of sworn you did but otoh i can probably trust you would know better than I if a place is not supposed to have a moon(s)

maybe it was a not-really visible sun

archie mentioned theorizing moons and sun over samudra

“And on Samudra, the sea stretches out impossibly far in all directions and the skies are always overcast. We know that the moon and sun are there, and we can tell which is in the sky when, but nobody’s actually seen them like this.” (in Blade-Bold, Battle-Born)

that might’ve been it

caion and archie in morse code also have a “which way does the moon rise tonight” thing

which is weird now that I’m thinking about it

secret society ass code shit

: “you must be this much of a nerd about Uncovered Ancient Musing to even be aware of this question”

well

yeah

that’s very much Their Entire Vibe

yeah!!

weird in the general but not the specific

Caion “I couldn’t write a love poem but I could write love paperwork in triplicate”

time to get Filed

in searching “moons” I found Joruleius’ explaining a moon to Salme and then came across this explanation of zaya when looking at the traveler’s guide: “Aurelius: “Absolutely, along with Unua and that dumb ass bitch.”*

: “I do remember her face. Her stupid snide face, and that laugh.”

what was the damage there?

sometimes you think you hate someone instead of wanting to make out with them, common mistake

were you setting that up all the way back then or were you just as confused as your character and his three personalities were?

jokes on you tho you only asked her for good annaarr memories not shitty ones about them both being dumbass morons and fighting over who mom loves best

literally the only thing I have ever set up With Intent was the gate

pfft

also that’s what Zaya volunteered!*

: memories may be slightly unreliable due to Grief*

there was a Lot of Bickering

naw, Annarr was a perfect sweet autistic angel who was so good and kind and sweet at everything

the Goodest Boy Who Ever Lived (Then Died)

that is true, he was the best on the beast and should have been its rightful ruler if it wasn’t for a cheat and fraudster

zaya will tell you she got closer than anyone else to Winning, but she is Mistaken

her entire song isn’t about that

nor is her entire name

yeah thats how u no she’s wrong

though imagining Annarr, as he was presented, being the ruler of the Beast is … pretty funny to me.

like I think he’d have been good at the ruling part of it

oh yeah no he’d have no desire to lead, first royal decree would be putting zaya in charge instead and retiring

as;dlkjfasodf

Zaya just makes Jae queen again

the cycle continues

hmmm would Aurelius have anything interesting to say if Salme asked him about his “I don’t really consider myself Annarr anymore” comment? He said something our last scene and she almost asked about it but got distracted, but I’ve been considering it. I can also see the response being “haven’t we talked about this Enough?” so

can’t imagine it being any different from the last 2/3 times it’s come up at least

lolol okay that’s what I thought

also I’m still kind of caught on “who mom loves best” as your description for annarr and zaya’s relationship

considering one of them was fucking her

: so many different directions one could unpack that in

are there really that many different directions?

certainly

explain, please?

suffice to say that wouldn’t really have much baring on the matter at hand tho

what is the matter at hand?

who’s the favorite child!!

I mean Zaya, obviously?

Annarr might’ve won in a fight but SQ was definitely like “anyway, sucks that he’s dead” versus her being Depressed about Zaya

well yeah she can’t change the past

also implying annarr and lucja couldn’t of gotten some of that scorpion stinger if they wanted it smh

oh they Totally could’ve

I feel like SQ is dtf pretty much anyone?

ye

but it seemed like she and Zaya had Something More Permanent going on

maybe from zaya’s Not An Immortal God Beast Witnessing An Unending Series of Fleeting Moments perspective yeah,

and anyway that’s an entire different matter from children squabbling

(not to imply SQ is not Big Into Zaya. but. she is probably Way Better than most at Relinquishment)

I’m still not sure Zaya doesn’t get reincarnated and find SQ multiple times

gay

in this campaign?

idk maybe sometimes she’s a hot guy?

briefly remembering to ID as Crimson to make it gay again

alksfdjaopweifjpo

what were the Children even Squabbling about?

pointless shit!!! who is better as [literally anything that could possible be up for debate]

probably even had the world’s most heated Math Contest

oiedfajposf

wow Annarr was down bad

hey teak who did SQ like more?

just the most anime “these two people hate each other” “wdym they’re clearly fucking” teen relationship

esp since they’re both overachievers

yeah

loved Annarr’s Nerd Map of the Deepforge like “bruh”

that’s part of why Salme ended up being like “we owe so much to this weird dead guy like … holy shit.”

I do still love Zaya’s rose-colored memories of “he was one of my best friends and so reliable and good at everything and constantly underestimated”

ye
