Tomestone is library entries but not the liminal library, uh, Not-Quite-Physical-Space, to be clear

I can’t believe you forgot the intricate depression-patterns that were on everything
no green cats on sanctuary
no green cats anywhere else thus far!
i bet there were green cats on almachadta, somewhere
also fwiw I remember having the impression that any carvings and patterns present in Sanctuary felt more, uh, Function-Orientated, like magic symbols/glyphs rather than to Look Nice, but I/Aurelius could def be wrong there lol
ꙮ there was a LOT of really really subtle texture in everything that you had to look really close to see
there was definitely a description of … lemme find it.
: “Somewhere -nice-, somewhere soft. Rugs on the floor, this time; tapestries on the walls. (Still overly-perfect geometrically-patterned tapestries! But it looks a little more like home.) “

who knows, maybe the linkpearl will catch on with her and you’ll get to shitpost on the forums
Maybe so. We’ll see how it plays out.
I feel like Chaya probably has better things to do, but who knows!

still laughing real hard at salme going ‘that’s it???’ when aurelius called it a moral obligation as if that wasn’t one of the better possible answers
ꙮ that entire beat was great
ꙮ Aurelius, Cave Enjoyer
great way to beat the heat
I really, really enjoyed that “That’s it” and Aury’s response because like. She really was dissatisfied (she was about to launch into a long, personal reason for why she’s doing what she’s doing and that brought her up short) and then he explained it and she was like “… what else could I possibly say?”
but she also thinks Aury has a way better Moral Center than her

are they numbers or letters or glyphs
I’m certain teak will be forthcoming and helpful

ꙮ ???? the bracelet (apple watch lol) was what was projecting the AR lol
ꙮ which
ꙮ you’ll get that to play with
ꙮ if Aury wants it, lol
the AR bits in particular seemed tied to the room at least and
having a vaguely knowledge of how smart watches work I assume anything/else it might be a control device for is for something ELSE it’s tied to, ie, probably the computer around dude’s neck????
nothing about that guy or room screamed “strictly monitored prisoner shock collar / ID” at least
ꙮ i enjoy how you all always immediately jump to the most fucked possible explanation for anything that is happening
but yeah he’ll be happy to scoop up the thing if chaya’s people don’t need it

the solution: DIY exposure therapy
d…did she forget she’s smaller than half the party,
not even half of a single lucja
no
however, that actually still would trigger claustrophobia
she was getting claustrophobia in the Nice Caves. She slept in the library!
because Cave was scary!

not that i can think of
OH I did want to do one on the shades since I keep getting info in the linkpearl
but that’s annoying to do. and … hm. I wanted to stick the names of all the planes in ancient somewhere. do you have any thoughts on where would make the most sense?
imagine not knowing the aurichalcum combo…. not a true aury fan after al………….
uh, the list of ancient words perhaps
I’ve also been debating on if I should make a separate “ancient”-only glossary or not
or the general list of locations if you’re being saucy
yeah it could go on the ancient glossary or on the plane-specific glossary. I guess I could put it in both places? or links in one place?
WAIT did aury make aurichalcum at one point?
where Salme would know?
no, lucja did
i am making dumb jokes because the words sound similar
OH you were making a joke about how the words sound similar
it is sort of funny that his nickname that hachi just Came Up With and it stuck sounded like a load-bearing substance
: “ you should ask sq about cups of wishes some time” Jorule sure is in a mood to be Baffling and Strange today
she’s the one that keeps going on about dead people
cups of wishes are related to the topic
look. the ancient guy is the ability to confirm that corpses don’t decay without having to make her own

out of curiosity what LIGHTING does the city of the caves utilize
ꙮ So hm
the sun is so bright it shines through the mountain
ꙮ there’s a lot of gnosis-powered lighting. that’s how the little light-patterns sunk into the floor of the cavern work (they’re like. in my head they are almost like. neon strips, but not quite as vivid?), and there’s a LOT of bioluminescent moss. there are a bunch of gnosis-powered lamps that were recovered from Somewhere In The Cave that are all kind of… smooth and ceramic-ey in a way that’s aesthetically unfamiliar. there’s basically like. streetlights, effectively, that the apostates made themselves and emplaced into various cavern walls where they needed more light
kk
they got that retro-futuristic floor lighting
electrope
hmm
i was reading it as more bioshock/fallout-y though upon consideration the frozen city was electrope-y and they ought to be drawing from the same sources so… maybe :O
ꙮ it feels like a thing that would not be crazy to have seen in the Septentrione yeah
would you save the cave city is more or less dense than The City
ꙮ less dense, also much less populated

ꙮ i see the awoken is pandering to the narrator today
ꙮ YEAH ‘movie theatre’ is a good point of comparison

movies theaters ARE retro-futuristic so that checks out

it’s not steel-cut oats it’s still-pickaxed oats

i thought crickets when you said chunky and a lil crunchy too fwiw
: “a society where eating dried crickets is Normal and Normalized” is within teakwood roleplaying wheelhouse
ꙮ i mean they do, definitely, eat the crickets
ꙮ but the oatmeal is not made of cricket there’s no way you could possibly get the flavor right

ꙮ in further sanctuary is a teakwood power fantasy news, they have “what if flavored water were actually good” here

orange drink is amazing

it’s what he do

an axolot of salamanders, if you will

I laughed and aww’d at the same time and somehow that translated to sounding like Mario
ꙮ fngdjdghfkjdhgkj
Yubbing with joyous abandon immediately entering my Top 5 Teakisms
ꙮ my mom and i had actually perfectly normal salamanders once, long ago
ꙮ and my mom, for whatever reason, started singing Take Me Home, Country Roads at them one time and they all went berserk and climbed up on a rock and started going yubyubyubyub at her
ꙮ so of course this just. kept happening, every so often I’d be doing whatever and my mom would be singing John Denver at some salamanders
That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard
ꙮ this also meant that sometimes my mom and i would turn towards each other and start going “yuuuuubyubyubyub” at each other, usually if a situation was just incredibly stupid in a funny way
ꙮ so it’s just. obviously, the noise that salamanders make
So everything I extremely wanted to do in the scene is done short of retesting with the quicksilver trick at the furthest reaches of the cavern depths, which we could potentially say happens offscreen
ꙮ I’ll just narrate the interesting thing you find when you have time to analyse the gnosis blanks
ꙮ if that’s ok?
ꙮ Alternately we can pause and restart later if there’s stuff you’d still LIKE to do, I ain’t got plans
I at least need a break of uncertain length because it is the Appointed Hour for me to go help with family stuff, want to leave the scene open for now and then when I’m able to settle back in I can message you and we can see if we want to keep going or call it there?
ꙮ Sure, that works for me!
Idk how long the break will need to be and there’s a non-zero chance if it takes a while that I run out of brain power
Ok great! I’l nudge you in a bit!
ꙮ ye, understood. I think this’ll be a good place to let this rest if we have to or want to
ꙮ thank youuuuu <3 and see you later either way hehe
Yeah same, I was trying to get us to a soft stopping point
ꙮ An Excellent Otter
Thank you! The Perfectly Normal Salamanders are a gift and a blessing

lol
what’s a morgenstern?
ꙮ like there’s only one dueling circle in the ancient world, there’s only one blond twink in the teakgame metaverse
idk whatsamorgenstern with u
ꙮ lol ice
that joke, for one
there IS only one blond twink and we KNOW he can cross dimensional lines
i think he had blue eyes tho
so this is clearly an ikeman not a twink, qed
post-BF there’s a reoccuring teakNPC who is not always named Morgenstern but represents the same thing, roughly. I actually want to say that he’s actually the BF version of Odin (who got bullied by Poel but got better and eventually moved on from that world)
yes
but anyway, blond hair, associated with the morning star
shocking it’s not a lucifer/satan type figure
ꙮ no he’s
ꙮ ABSOLUTELY lucifer
he’s absolutely that yes
SMT esq lucifier
says, clarifying, in the same way Kat might use a latin word to help me understand a concept
ꙮ yeah like his appearance in v0 was, like, very directly, SMT Lucifer, lol, that was what he used as his fucking gijinka
hahahaha okay very called out
somewhat related FF11 lore: Odin is the avatar of Darkness and has a gigantic rager for battle, lost causes, desperation, and is probably the lynchpin of like, 2/3rds of the macroplot
though I’ve at least considered playing a SMT game
huh. interesting take on Odin
also hallowing out mortals to use as vessels of war
is his favorite hobby
FF!Odin is a beast unlike the norse god you probably know, a bit closer to it than FF!Shiva is to IRL!Shiva, but, y’know.
ꙮ i am totally normal about FFXI!Odin
FF fucking up the mythological understanding of a generation of nerds
inside you there are two wolves. the FF Nerds that have extremely different but consistant takes on world mythology vs the SMT Nerd that is generally fairly well researched, though still deeply mismatched in its wide approach to sourcing
and in the space between them, you find Absolute Truth, like that shiva is blue and ice based nodnod

ꙮ angry about it tbh
hahahahahahha
checks out, honestly
fucking, lmao, aury
we’re gunna get into this man’s desktop files eventually……………..
(this joke will be funny in a few seconds if it’s not already)
ꙮ thank christ i use ‘you’ so often instead of third-person it makes it MUCH easier to copy paste descriptions
lol
desktop files … that’s so dumb
ꙮ i laughed really hard
BUT NOT WELL DOCUMENTED………….
i think that was partners in crime tho?
: “conspirators” yeah
used specifically to refer to Salme/Aury/Awa
???
AND YEAH I FORGOT TO ADD IT TO THE GLOSSARY/I thought it was just a Boring Relationship Word No One Would Be Interested In
I mean you were right, but
from Salme’s libratext: “Beloved synomote of Aurelius and another, whom I shall not identify.”
haha
ꙮ have been waiting to use the etymology of ‘conspirator’ IC for
ꙮ a hot minute
ꙮ cute,
ꙮ cute!
ꙮ God what the fucking hell is the correct terminology for ‘thick collar with a perfectly round cross-section”
ꙮ I don’t actually know
I don’t know what you’re describing
presumably, like the lil white thing that goes under a priest’s collar
ꙮ No, hang on, I can get a picture
<salme> [forgets to tell people she has claustrophobia]
ꙮ Metal collar, like the dead guy was wearing, where the collar itself is made out of metal that, if you cut it and looked at it dead on, would be a circle. round-stock cross section. like I know “round-stock” is the word you’d use if you wanted to buy round-wire that was too thick to be called wire and had to be worked like a bar but
oh
fuckin caves, amirite
is it.. a torc?
ꙮ ’torc’ is a description of a type of collar where the ends overlap and you put it on / take it off by gently spring-bending the metal enough to get it on or off, although a lot of torcs are basically round-stock
ꙮ salme is cute…
: “curved” is the best I can think of

ꙮ new objective: make aurelius experience fear
kk
lmfao GL with that
jokes on you he’s already obtained enlightenment, there is no fear, only success and failure and acceptence
ꙮ …hot,
he died once already
ꙮ i still think i can give this foxboy a phobia if i try hard and believe in myself tho
you’re right of course,
the fear of salme having six hands and the ability to never stop posting can never be fully banished, having met the scorpion queen
ꙮ aurelius like, por que no los dos,

it’s come up!
she hasn’t Announced it
but it’s definitely been Gestured at like
I thought A Lot
ꙮ oh yeah it absolutely has been, but she’s also been actively trying REALLY hard to downplay it
: “caves suck” “yeah I guess going from royal accomidations from the queen of earth’s favorite hotel to a thin sack on the ground IS kind of a buzz kill”
oh yeah she’s absolutely never mentioned it with her Mouth Words but she thought it was an Open Gaping Obvious Weakness
especially since Aurelius just soul read her for being a judgemental little turd
ꙮ i think she told Duskomira that she was Struggling With The Caves, or… Jae, or SOMEONE
ꙮ but definitely not the party lol
she’s a dumbass

ya is fine. keep a hand on the handle, keep an eye on the box, and pull with gnosis and elbow grease
ꙮ tl;dr there’s a /target circle/ that the Awoken will be aiming to get the Sun’s image completely contained within and on target for and focused crisply and Salme’s helping him aim the telescope. The actual details can be handwaved, it Will Work
ꙮ I’m just a weird little sicko
and Ice, I mean, you can technically have sort of a socialistic program and be an imperialistic power? One’s economics, one’s power structure technically?
maybe Our Prince was a socialist nepo baby
and I want to encourage you to be a sicko (you should send me a diagram of what you’re describing) I just don’t want my inability to visualize to ruin your ability to be a sicko
anyway also idly reading about certain aspects of judaism and I think I’m seeing some of what teak’s doing here if anyone wants the Thots after this scene

idk several of those words mean but i was referencing teak going ‘this is the power fantasy of me having flavored water that doesn’t suck’
yeah those are both types of flavored water. though I’m not sure about the agua de Jamaica version. the ones I’m familiar with are mexican

ꙮ is one of them ruby red and tastes of hibiscus? because that’s Good Shit
I’ve mostly encountered mint/cucumber/lime

ꙮ Oh I’ve had mint/cucumber/lime aguas frescas yeah, they’re also good shit
I am literally aggressively anti-floral in my tastes, which is why you continue to upset and baffle me

ꙮ Hot,
I mean he very much did do that
can’t believe jorule is dming SQ about glory holes
