hmm
no probably not, it’s worth spending At Least one day exploring the local enviroment and doing some familiarization / mapping
mapping!
THE FAT HOME??? wtf kin
it’s a very sedentary job
(lol if the books on Mu don’t look different from the Beast paperbacks I can edit that, but I assume they probably do)
to be clear, are you describing an inverted pyramid?
or is it more they’re balconies on top of each other?
ꙮ Nope, it’s balconies all the way down
ooooh okay
are we only just now learning kin have six fucking fingers
^ same question
ꙮ you can count to twelve on one hand by counting your phalanges!!!
I think I’m stupid and don’t know how to count my phalanges
ꙮ you can count to 16 by counting the tips of your fingers and each knuckle but that gets very silly
ꙮ each, like, piece of your finger is a phalanx, each finger has 3, 3 * 4 is 12
i have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about so i will assume this a Strange Alien Custom
thumbs don’t count?
ꙮ you can count to 144 on both hands instead of using two entire hands just to count to 10, it’s very efficient
ꙮ you’re counting WITH your thumb, your thumb points to the appropriate phalanx
sorry math is hard I can’t count past four
ꙮ that’s between you and the God then
rip me
anyway there’s no saving these people only Freaks use base12
base 12 is the most objectively correct base system, it’s even better than base 16
this is why we’re still using imperial instead of metric :(
which is better than base 10, which is better than binary, which is better than any other base system you could be using
I am alarmed by your Number Sickoness
12 is divisible by 2 AND 3 AND 4 AND 6, 10 is just divisible by fucking 2 and 5 :(
is this thing Flying or is it on a mechanism attached to the wall
it’s flying
well. hovering
it’s not, like, nyooming -across- the way, it’s scooting around the whole balcony
I assume we’re gonna go Up soon
ok awa time to disassemble the Library Desk for Parts
if you had come you’d get to ask about the desk Ice
oh wait we’re not going Up I dyscalculia’d again
3D Movement is Hard
ice, help me out here, how bad of an idea would it be to give this lovely lady any idea that Almachadta gets destroyed?
ꙮ naw in order to get to the actual oldest archives you would in fact have to go Up but that’s what the elevator is for
ꙮ i’m sorry the Vertical Train
idk what kind of context she has
mu seems least likely to Get Fucked by knowing stuff tho, gut instinct
they started with the out walls??? mildly insane, kin city-planers
ꙮ they had the whole thing planned out! they knew how much space they’d need! (yes, this is insanely weird, correct)
yeah that’s Legitimately Unhinged
smdh if you don’t meticulously plan every building you’ll ever build for your weirdly geometrically perfect #aesthetic City before laying a single brick. skill issue
the builders would NOT survive Lego Freestyle Days
WEIRD THAT THE POPULATION NEVER SPILLED OUT OVER THE WALLS
not weird at all???
ꙮ yeah why would it???
would be much weirder if it did???
explain.
what?
if you got too much population,
????
the yazhn simply does not wake up the next batch
ꙮ why would there ever be more people than the Kin decided there needed to be
… fuck
right
aint like people are making babies on accident
HOW DO I KEEP FORGETTING THIS
(I keep forgetting this because I’m making a lecture about population expansion and contraction)
coincidentally, the humans here are not experiencing expansions or contractions either
well.
I guess?!
ꙮ pffffffffffff
ꙮ good joke 10/10
like that is a lot of people
THEIR CRYSTALS
this really is FFT World
ꙮ remember when Wolf was homosexually astral projecting and saw Ravhi holding some little red crystals and being sad
y ur cystals red bro
they supposed to be blue
ꙮ i believe if you approach the problem with sufficient consideration you will understand that when you die, you turn into a little red crystal, not a little blue crystal
That’s Fucked Up
ꙮ is it tho
yeah
ive gained enough exp to know what a soul crystal should look like
i think
wait you don’t turn into a full-size crystal person? you turn into a little red crystal?
these guys are sick
shit i can’t remember what the mangled qoute of that is
ꙮ naw humans do not turn into a full-ass crystal statue, just a little red crystal. Kin crystal statues ARE blue tho
HUMANS AREN’T REAL HUMANS AREN’T REAL AAAAAA
Oh. I see.
(I do not see. But I feel Worse about knowing that somehow)
ꙮ n- no humans are definitely real
ice I think you’re right
(minor edit; Salme did not mean to imply lightdrinkers can walk)
scene! because if I don’t they’ll just midwestern goodbye 5ever I think
ꙮ fhrdurghtreiughtruoihgjouitrjhoitrjhi
ꙮ that was
ꙮ real cute ilu
<3 <3
teakwood they don’t have / couldn’t have Fermented Food/Drinks here right
ꙮ yeast works here but only through deliberate inoculation
ꙮ the first time Xilai found out about environmental inoculation being a thing it blew his fucking mind
I feel like a lot of things blew Xilai’s mind
why do kin have genders
ꙮ that’s a great question
yeah it’s weirder the longer you think about it
yeah
Maybe because they weren’t always like this…
ꙮ :OOOO
maybe humans are real but kin are fake
They had better not be!
I ain’t want no fake boyfriend!
ꙮ people can have scales and still be real ;_;
hmm…!
big if true
anti-dragonfucker bias from icecylee
dont look at me im not the one turning into a blue crystal statue when i take le nap
you don’t know that
you’re not awake
i already had a sleep here
you were there
maybe you did turn into a blue crystal statue and Salme’s not telling
yeah, that’s definitely a thing she’s physically capable of doing
ꙮ gahahahahahha
hey maybe she is
maybe one day she will Not Immediately Tell Aurelius A Thought The Second It Enters Her Brain
ꙮ errata that I know everyone read correctly IN the scene and in commentary afterwards but when Ravhi said the last Rite of Renewal was performed twelve thousand and ninety six years ago obviously I meant to write twelve hundred and ninety six there
Oh, Valais…
teak you are a deeply silly person
ꙮ what’d I do
perfect world summer party
ꙮ there’s a lot of silly things on the soundtrack
yeah
: “teleios” also can connote “end” or “completion”
it doesn’t necessarily mean perfect imo?
that’s not as funny tho
oh
you’re right
though I guess I read it as “end of the world summer party” which has a certain vibe if I do say so myself
hilariously google is giving me a completely different result from when i hit copy/paste earlier so i can’t tell you exactly what it said thta let me to deciding to inturpret it as perfect
something about all parts coming together ot something/…???
it is a legitimate reading! it’s just not the only one
Google, very confidently:
*”AI Overview “Sh’voq Li*” is a playful blend of actor Shazad Latif and his character Voq from Star Trek: Discovery.”
somehow, i do not think that is what teak was naming his song after
ꙮ pffffffffhahahahahahah
ꙮ although you could do a LOT worse than Shazad Latif as a VA for Ravhi tbh. kinda into that
I KNOW WHAT WARGURLPLUSNIGHTS IS THO
thanks anime
………………… is “Sh’voq Li” a Ravhi song??????
(I have a rough translation for Sh’voq Li if you want, Ice. Gimme a sec)
ꙮ WARGURLPLUSNIGHTS
ꙮ G-d bless you.
War Gurl Plus Nights is girl’s nights for warrior ladies and enbies
yeeeah
ꙮ also i’m just v. gay for Shazad Latif’s voice
ꙮ and you made me think of him!
hm.
ꙮ <catherine_hmm.wav>
Okay so “Sh’voq Li” is Aramaic. “Šbq” (Aramaic is a abdab so they don’t have vowels) is a verb that has a couple different connotations: it can mean to “leave” in the sense of “abandon”; it can mean “permit”; it can mean “forgive”; it can mean to “release”. “Li” is I’m pretty sure almost exactly equivalent to the Arabic term. “L” is a preposition that seems to mean “to/for” and the enclitic “i” appended on the end is the personal first-person pronoun, to “to me/for me.”
so I read it (and I could be very wrong I don’t know aramaic) as “permit me” or “forgive me” or “abandon me” or “release me”
: “forgive me” kind of a funny song to be sandwiches between The Night Where Everything Burns and Flawless Victory / End Of Time Summer Party
ꙮ you are reading the title precisely correctly
oh good to know
ꙮ ŠBQ is such a lovely word.
it took forever to find the right fucking word. google is worthless.
also your transliteration was begoozling
possibly apurpose
ꙮ no that’s probably just me being a dumbass lol
I don’t think it was you being a dumbass
I think transliteration is hard (evil)
ꙮ I mean I also have precisely one (1) semitic language worth a damn at all and it’s the one with the weirdest and most cursed transliteration lol
hebrew?
ꙮ yeah haha
yeah trying to get any kind of translation of “Emet Mekheberet” was awful
I ended up with something like “(Note)book of truth” or something
: “airship own by a time traveling elvaan wizard” not even hard
: blink what?
Is that the name of an airship in FFXIV or something?
no it’s me very misbadly-reading that second word as another, sort-of close looking word that is used as a classification of airship in a different game,
and then also expanding Emet out to Emmett
(the name of a character)
oooooh
sry the level of “explaining the joke to kat” is very high rn
i mean that probably wouldn’t have fully parsed to anyone other than me lol
ꙮ sorry Caion had to be cute more, it was urgent
would be funny if that was it
lololol always urgent to Be Cute
ꙮ Ice you dumbass lol
by “cute” you mean “vaguely sassy”: “Well… at least one of those is just a word, my friend. ‘empyrean’ pertains to the highest part of the sky.”
ꙮ ’cute’ always means ‘vaguely sassy’ when it comes to Caion let’s be real
sometimes he’s just cute and hopeful
ꙮ ”Glory, God or Gotherwise” sent me
oh no
also replied to the thread on the song. you guys are so fast
very deliberate G
ꙮ note for future teakwood, you owe Salme a response on that thread
: “Oh, dear”
SQ ALSO owes Salme some Space Facts
ꙮ yeah I’ve been had that one bookmarked lol i just need to figure out what the fuck she does know lol
: “conveniently everything”
ꙮ lolf
is the library description on the map node up to date? probably not but idk if I wanna be the one to fix it this time………………………………………..

Hey teak
How do you order food in the place that doesn’t believe in money and only good will?
ꙮ you just roll up and ask for things
you don’t forget to say please and thank you
Also what units do gulab jamun come in?
ꙮ you can just get one by itself in a lil’ silver bowl drizzled with syrup, probably, or you can get like, a couple

shit what are desserts like where Salme comes from?
cheesecake?
have u heard of this delicious thing called an “orange”
pies, obviously
fuck, pies
…pies.
lmao
I regret that I did not have the time or the spoons to make a pie for dinner during the columbus visit for the memes
ꙮ pies, pastries, pastry pies, pie pastries, foodly cakes, fruit tarts, cobblers

ꙮ yeah we were gonna do that, for the bit
… wait, teak, is this also oat-based gulab jamun??
ꙮ somehow, miraculously, it Tastes Like Gulab Jamun Should Taste
ꙮ and has the mouthfeel it should have
ꙮ what is it made out of? idk it’s made out of gulab jamun
ꙮ it’s not soylent green this isn’t xenogears stop looking at me like that
yeah, not crunchy enough for that :fishthink:
Well now I’m looking at you like that
you’d notice the crystal shards in your food, i think
ꙮ lolf
I wasn’t nearly concerned as I am now
Don’t be ridiculous Teak, the last thing Salme needs is a new fresh date XD
ꙮ lmao
………………. oof
gottem
ꙮ man i want some medjool dates now
yeahhh
ꙮ i love her, pt. wev.
I’m gonna miss her when we go to Valais

Lord almighty, is she just going to tell EVERYONE?
Don’t worry, Qarina already knows

ꙮ JUFIHEUIOHFUEOHFOUIHEOUFHEIGJHIOHJG
also little sister gremlin privileges
Qarina double already knows
Her brother told her
there MIGHT still be a handful of venders near the gates out of town that haven’t heard yet
lmao
but she’ll get there soon
I actually don’t think she really told anyone other than Qarina and teased Wolf?
I mean, talked about it with Aury, but Aury clearly already knew since he was all “shoot your shot, bro”
ꙮ STILL fuckin dying @ that
ꙮ also Shijin is hot
yeah Ice is really funny it’s exceptionally annoying
The fucking cackle teak had at that line IRL
was SPECTACUALR
typo’d in honor of ice
ꙮ i lost the ENTIRETY of my shit
haha
I really can imagine the sound pretty perfectly
ꙮ oh my god Qarina is a menace
YEP
Wait, how did they know about the…?
:D
ꙮ Qarina has access to more information than she should have access to and uses her powers for shitposting, is how
You gave me an angry mostly friendless 19 year old and then let her make friends
There was only one way this went down
she is Excellent
turns out its hard to tell when you’re being shadowed by a shadow from the shadows

Anything you wanted to hit other than Archives? I’m having a great time, but it is pretty late for THE GOLDEN ONE
THE GOLDEN ONE
No I don’t think so. I mean there’s a million threads to follow up on (apostates???) but I figure we’ll hit that in group session
I assume we’ll probably pull that thread in group session, depending on what everyone wants to do?
ꙮ that is likely, yes
I’m pretty sure Ice wants to hunt down The Survivor? Salme’s having a bluescreen moment because she’s emotionally 17.
IDK if we want to Archives onscreen, O GOLDEN ONE, or not. it feels like that might extend the scene
beyond your comfort awake time
ꙮ fwiw my sketch for next session involves the Red Column and then immediately being taken to go meet Chaya
Cool
ꙮ also yeah it is getting late for Teos
It’s done been late
But this scene is epic
Qarina is amazing
just stream of consciousness nonstop super cute but also like.
profoundly fucked up
:D
Good to know I’m hitting my marks
I think we can Archive quick
okay!

In your hand menu, you can select Discard, and then Return to click on a card - I believe it to have worked for my Exposure

i don’t think you should be able to mechanically discard status effects fwiw… … i think this has maybe come up before but it seems More Relevant Here

at the start of awoken’s turn he draws 2 and discards 2
then he uses dark prophecy glory,

which causes 3 of the cards in his hand to gain quick

if I have three quicks and a normal action,
can I take the normal action and then the three quicks

sleep well Sam!
I have Many Questions about the caves
oh damn, commitment. later dude
Salme probably isn’t excited to be In A Cave but
I can’t quite place the one on fulminance, it’s ringing a bell somewhere in my mind but I can’t figure out where it’s coming from because it’s. like. echoing weirdly? Idk this became a tortured metaphor
ꙮ I think strictly it should have been “WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE COME HERE” and it’s a Teakgame deep cut
ꙮ salme and xilai pawbump
oh is that supposed to be a BF reference and not strictly a horror story zinger? lol
Mmmm okay not a thing I could possibly have known then
lol yeah googling it got me a horror novel
which seemed Wrong
Same lol
and possibly a quote from Skyrim? Which also seemed Wrong.
It is a Skyrim quote lol
ꙮ YOU’LL MAKE A FINE RUG, CAT
why are you threatening to turn me into a rug?
ꙮ extremely stupid skyrim quote joke
I figured I was just being Dumb On Purpose
ꙮ lolf
it happens now and then
Fun fact for an amount of time I thought the narrative was leading towards that somewhere the writer/teller of our story kept getting frustrated and “nuking” their draft and it was gonna be about creative persistence
haha
And like the Architect representing the perfectionist instinct and the Omniclast representing the creative instinct. I guess “I am the cost of saying no” could be read in a way that doesn’t solidly exclude the possibility? Though I no longer necessarily think that’s what’s happening here, or at least, it seems like other stuff is more likely
I think creative persistence is the lesson the Architect never got for sure
Sad little gay disaster he is
100%, dude was way too quick to abandon the worlds
dfhjkawpofjeo I love dunking on the Architect
Forever and always
ꙮ always fun for the whole family
