Not me fuckin’ tearing up as I typed that line. >.>

I legit need to go blow my nose, because I had to stop myself from ugly crying. XD

<3

Heeeee! :3

I’m good!

Thank you as well, it really was! <3

nerd oclock over there

I think there’s a lot of ways to describe qarina and jae talking to each other but “nerd oclock” isn’t really what I’d say

ciorrect that was about two dorkasses debating what precisely a lie is

salme’s not a nerd

salme’s a cool girl who fucks

I’m choosing to read “ciorrect” in an Italian accent, just as I chose to misread to whom Ice was referring

Caion fucks but is he cool?

sorry mistyped

on speaking of definitions

Ice I’m going to murder you for that definition

idk what either of you were expecting

that is the most fucking Aurelius-assed definition I’ve ever fucking read

not like he can exact say “people that show up on the character select screen when you start a new game”

well he could

Salme would Not Understand

but he could

mfw caion tryin to dox salme

This is a man in sheer, hopeless, homosexual meltdown

.

DOES CAION WANT TO RECREATE THE COLLAR?

the ar watch surely

is the more interesting thing that needs building there

i cannot imagine Circle Of Material is particularly hard for them to do

Teakwood I need you to weigh in here.

high fantasy was a mistake

ice you are a treasure and a delight

I just. I just love “the ar watch surely” when teak has been VIBRATING LIKE A SICKO OVER THE COLLAR THIS ENTIRE TIME.

utterly baffling

I do like that you’re both good with plot and emotions but when it comes to kink-inflected stuff you westworld out

ugh I don’t know how to revise the plane-specific glossary

to look like the ancient one

there’s so much more commentary

(this was a plea for someone to help me)

what are you suddenly too good for alphabetical categorization

no I want to have the actual definition not in handwriting text, with any Commentary as bullet points below for usability (like the recently-redone ancient glossary), but half of the definitions are shitposts and I think that’s beautiful and don’t want to take that away, but I’m not sure how useful it is as a resource

I’m not sure trying to speak authorically on shit we’re most assigning meaning to ourselves in the same way you could do that with literal word definitions is really the play tbh

oh okay

well if you both think it’s fine then

I guess I’ll go with that?

tho you could pretend to be an all knowing neutral observers on the Map

if you really wanted

I don’t want to do that. That sounds hard

that’s fair too and like I’m not going to stop doing that

though I did shift away from it for the ancient glossary and the gnosis materials so I didn’t have to be “salme technically didn’t see what this looked like” for stuff that wasn’t necessarily filtered through her perception?

still really amused at “Really, Aurelius? I am tempted to simply define the Beast as “Angry Metal World.”” when Aurelius had, a little bit lower in the glossary, legitimately written “fight world”

: “fight world”

the world you go to to fight

it’s super accurate honestly

oh

’have a song associated with them in particular’

well

maybe? sometimes the overseerers have them troo

have a song, with lyrics in a foreign language, associated with them?

I guess that’s true of the Mother of Monsters …

Sam - you think Chaya is looking for Qarina, or other way around?

Yeah I am distracted my Monster Train 2 lol

ok monster train defeated I’m set lol

hell yeah

Teak make us a room I eckon?

I suck at naming scenes lol

Yeah, I was stuck on naming a scene

rpgs sure are complicated

#waow

completely unrelated to anything but chaya delving into the depths of the forums and thread-necroing Several Months Old Posts Only would be an extremely funny Bit for a delver to have

lol

that would be real good

aw yeah checking in on a scene from the poolside.

they’re cute! they’re both so cute! I love it.

Fellas is it gay to take your BFF cave-diving into ancient horrors because you don’t trust this bunch of new weirdos even if they have the best of intentions…?

lmao

I love them

seems like a good wrap? Anything else you wanted to hit? Can walk and talk ‘em a bit if need be

Also, I wish I had time to do a back to back withs omeone and Lucja so that the next scene could be Checking In On A Fiend

lmao that would be an amazing title. But naw I’m good to wrap.

hell yeah

Thanks for making the time, my dude

happy to do it, man. valar dohaeris

that was so good

also I kinda ship it? oops.

you? shipping????

yeah I know it’s a shock

no

he’s doing as requested

an entire dinner roll

my favorite thing about the Bit that Aurelius is doing is Salme is like “… I know you don’t think at this pace you giant goofball”

they’re ok I guess

dis dummy apologizing to sq for being flippant

what if sq was saaaaaaad

oh i was actually under the impression that samudra history was WAY longer and did not line up with The Little Crunch

not even as a misread from that post, just, had that impression since we got there somehow lol

ok well now it sounds a lot more like mu is siphoning the energy of the other three to continue existing every thousand or so years and not just one and maybe a tangentially related disaster

wait are you saying you didn’t think Samudra underwent cycles?

: “The Little Crunch” lolol

nope

thought it was doing what mu is

ice how many times has salme said “samudra probably is undergoing a similar catastrophe” T-T

no clue tbh????

a lot :(

:)

it felt like it had a lot of little ones all the time, constantly cascading tho, rather than like, Hard Resets????

okay I think that’s a more fair read than I was giving you credit for. however,

with the way the information was presented

por que no los dos

esp with the city just

sitting there

and them having ancient records and shit

we have more context for that NOW but at the time nothing was screaming “yeah I explode into confetti just like you do :D”

honestly don’t think it came up a lot with the group itself if at all

I’m p. sure that was her immediate assumption when we first talked to Caion and it’s also in the World Is In Peril guide

could have been!

and it’s definitely a much easier assumption to make after the beast

sorry to insult Luĉja’s good name here

raises eyebrow

Just you wait until Lucja goes to find wolf and uses Salme as an excuse :P

oh please I want to see Luĉja feign emotional distress

I don’t know if they could, honestly

Salme should be offscreen, coaching them

oaiewpfjoaipsefjd

: “This is when you burst into tears—shit, wait, that won’t work. Eat a rock out of sheer emotionality”

you hate push notifs

hamburger

though I might ask if we can choose the positioning of the toasts in settings since they make toggling between elsewhere and other scenes a bit challenging?

oh yeah that works!

that’s all I specifically had though there’s certainly Stuff if you’d like to touch on it IC

He will have one parting request/comment, though I’m certainly thinking I can’t much top where we’re at.

(There’ll be one last thing, when she starts to leave.)

kk

(she’s going to say yes fyi but she needs this question answered first)

RIGHT?!

and that’s all I have

Aaaand scene.

yay! thank youuuu.

poor salme trying to gross wolf out with Sex Facts and failing

He’s not from Mu, he knows what sex is!

they know what sex is on mu! at least the non-kin do

There is no help, it’s terminal. ;3

and the kin are About To Find Out

You know what I mean!

He’s perhaps overly dignified at times, he’s not sex-repulsed

she was thinking again it would be her doing it that would get the ick factor, but I think they’re both probably too almachadtan for that

she had to try tho

Hahah, well, also…he does tend to rise to a challenge, doesn’t he?

that’s true

she’ll have to get more inventive about being a shit

I wait her next level of trollishness with bated breath.

(sorry had to edit b/c I realized I didn’t actually type the entire thought there)

can’t believe we’re doing a scene about increasing the Do Drug stat teakwood

Do Drug stat?

yeah

CURSED by 2

I FUCKING CHEERED

I expecting to roll a Sad Trombone Noise

I was not expecting ascension but. It kind of had to be.

aleatorics babe

the hell is a wolf-light

ur mom

aha

scene?

:D :D :D

thank you! that was very fun

<3

LOL

sounds like a guy who needs his dignity punctured

Yes, well, that’s what Salme’s for, I suppose

-eyebrow wiggle-

wolf’s her brother. she’s not going to peg him.

Jesus Christ, Cat.

-cackles-

if you’d believe it, that was my second awful thought. my first one was worse.

…and now that you’ve said it, I have to ask. Damn you.

Y U P

yesssss good q wolf

rip

Lord, I hope I spelled that right. LOL

Yay!

yep! al-ma-chad-ta

Azdaja has taken residence in Her Spot, so I’m navigating her chonkness while trying to type. LOL

Scene!

Yeee!

Thank you both!

lmfao I loved that ending note very much

<3

aurelius just like ‘wow this seems super high effort low return, just make tools and enchantments like sane people, can’t imagine’ at this idea lol

consider tho… it’s cool

and good for working out inner turmoil I guess

imagine having inner turmoil and needing to change your elemental alignment to deal with it instead of carefully sorting through all your problems and solving them individually

you say that but Salme is about to pester Aurelius about Feelings again so look forward to That

hello

food good

in my head

just takin’ bird form. landing on open window and being all ‘sup’ when he’s somewhere alone

kin confession booth spotted

the temptation to go ‘do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, jesus christ’ was Strong but i prevailed

y u linebreak that :(

guess it really didn’t like the -

which is bizzare as fuck as I’ve never seen it do that before??? something about the front glyphs i guess

glyph with a - touching it

is I’m pretty sure what was doing it, since when I changed the - to a ; it worked

- le donk

- le donk

waoa - i guess maybe it has to be TWO different glyphs

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

naw that’s all I got too

ye ye

when you silly but also serious

Cool Ranch :shades:

(waves!)

I’m upright and here. I want you all to know how much I must love you all to be both of those things right now.

(Hugs extremely tight)

I am here; I am just working on my insert scene digest on discord for people

I’m continuing to help family with stuff so I’m obligated to play from my phone because at 9:15 I’ll need to relocate. I’m really sorry, I know it’s not preferable but it’s my only option at the moment. Promise I’ll type as fast as I can

<3 for kuz

oh god both tabs had audio for a sec there

two different browsers, bc two different accounts

Surround Sound

Who? I think we forgot him?

Pffft

he got got by the Godwackers. (thats a Steely Dan song, dont worry about it)

o/

I’m here! Apologies for the tardiness.

<3

I completely lost track of time in the warm epsom salt soak before my shower. >.>

That sounds sooo niiiceee

man I been there. back when I used to sling appliances for Lowes lol

Barley Bread

Yeah, and it was a “post-workout” epsom salt, so it also had menthol and a citrus scent. It was lovely.

Barely Bread

I just like word nonsense. I frequently write barely soup instead of barley soup because it amuses me.

Archie A+

John Barelycorn Must Die

My new place doesn’t have a tub only a shower :( seriously considering getting an AirBnB for one night to Get My Soak On

how often are you talking about barley, teo?

always alliterate

argh now I really want mushroom soup

More often than you’d expect? I discuss meal prep a lot with people.

now I really want vegetable soup with barley in it

But also

Barely ever barley

… I really liked the vegetable soup from Frisch’s tbqh because I am Not Refined. I miss that shit.

…thanks, guys, now I want soup and there’s nowhere to get soup.

soup is weird

We all refined bitches ‘round here.

I am also soupless

Saaaaame.

hell yeah it is

Is that like the culinary version of “maidenless”?

lmao

I’m that too!

-looks down his nose at you- “Soupless, I see.”

I don’t Elden any Rings!

See that I would go for over soup pretty much every day

I unfortunately am Not A Soup Person because I don’t like feeling sloshy :( stews, however,

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat

NO

WHERE

Also random ass question but on the subject of barley, does anyone know the target audience for Ezekiel bread? I feel like I’m seeing it everywhere suddenly

Oh the Jesus bread?

It’s so I can make off color communion jokes and watch my parents try not to laugh

Yeah! I’m like, is this a Mormon thing, an Orthodox Jewish thing…?

Issn’t that the, like, sprouted grain bread that has to stay frozen until it’s purchased, or something?

I haven’t tried it yet but I think I would like it a lot specifically for my fancy-ass avocado toast

oh yeah, probably. Shockingly good bread.

fucking expensive tho

I think I had it once, a decade and a half ago, at least.

You’re telling me that isn’t the plot of Valais?

honestly if anyone gets to segue about azymes it’s definitely me.

maybe, but other people get to segue about Azems

(ff14 reference)

God people would riot if I put azymes in a crossword

gonna write that one down

only the orthodox christians

I was about to say, so…you’re going to do that?

CORRECT

I will please look forward to it

Zoë said do you need inspiration for Bunk

You get sassy Archie tonight apparently

I’m here for it

me too

Seriously considering a version of pocket dimension just called Thanks, It Has Pockets as my next techne

no offense but im not drinking the pocket water

Salme is like “I love not having to carry heavy shit everywhere but far be it from me to impugn the dignity of your pockets”

put a pin in that, Wolf. We’ll be coming back to it later…

It’s Ravhi’s fault. He told Wolf to teach Dyu things.

Oh Boy

haahahahahahahh

:)

the return of the thumbs up

a cow, which can be milked

Save it for a private room, you two. ;)

Fen, you Do Not Understand the things Hachi says to me in private.

why’d you say that, now he’s going to get all the right ideas

The Truth That Can’t Be Milked is sure … unmilking.

Oh no, I can imagine! ;3

it’s not ;3 fun

it’s “hachi why”

I mean, maybe not fun for you…

hahahahhaha

Trufax

oh well then HE’D be having fun

… dude does the sink in the library dispense Infinite Water?

there’s a sink in there right?

and you definitely gave us a wet bar in the game room

yeah

obviously???

There’s a kitchen too

Yup! Archie’s gonna point it ouf

YES the rock gag

(I meant the “kitchen” yeah)

Rock Gag Best Gag

It must be done

I’m gonna go refill my water bottle, brb.

The thing Archie said to Ari was more of a gentle shout as he was on the way out with a thumbs-up than a conversation opener btw

We don’t have to linger on this

Listen, Qarina has one solution, and it is hammer

weird how you only ever run into nail shaped problems

Awfully convenient :D

I love her

For as much as he’d want it to be Literally Anything Else, Archie’s most practiced application of gnosis is almost certainly a Pellucid Tide To Go Pen

Prestidigitation is a helluva cantrip

Arissa got so much milage out of that spell it coulda had its own highway, huh Ice lol

It’s A Good Spell

lol luĉja

Incoming: Archie doing something very cute and moderately bullshit

Stairs? No. Lazy river.

the faintest sound of banjos

Stumpy Legs And Steep Stairs Don’t Mix :(

oiusdfkljaslk;dfjl;qwefafw

get better biology, nerds

gaahahah

(also I’m just asking questions to ask questions, plot can keep moving)

(can also tell me to shut up)

(vigorously petting you)

(never, you ask good questions)

(parenthetically reassurance!)

(I mean I really am open to “shut up I want to keep moving” lmao trust me)

(right but we also love you)

Teakwood all just according to keikaku over there

the pacemaker at the center of the world

lolf

Luĉja OH GOD WHY IS THERE MEAT IN MY EARS? I DONT EVEN HAVE EARS!

BONUS MEAT

oh sorry your face just looks so much like a rotisserie cooker…………………..

Oh man that just reminds me of Extreme Meatpunks Forever

hahahahahah

Luĉja, 10-1 appliance party member

okay but wouldn’t it be fucked up if Luĉja was secretly Mostly Meat?

My money is that the heart is fleshy, tbh

Mine is that the gnosis-stilling effect escalates to the point that biological rhythms are disrupted

oh sorry, I meant Luĉja’s heart

Oh!

I think whatever we find here will be some fresh hell though, so yeah

you know, I think you might have a fleshy heart, yeah

Jesus Christ Hachi. LOL

Salme that’s Real Cool

Salme kinda dope yeah

can’t deal with her fears like a normal person, at least she can be a Refreshing Breeze for people

teo I fucking laughed aloud

: “maybe it’s the books*

No thoughts, only hammer

down with definitions

Whereas Dyu just understood immediately.

Which only reinforces Qarina’s default assumptions

: “no thoughts only hammer”

himbette queen

eagerly awaits for the scene title to drop

wasn’t sure how much juice you wanted so I kept it small. I can expound if you like lol

oh that’s some GOOD bass

what the fuuuuuuuuuuck

Biding!

Idk who hit loop but that feature is worth it for this moment alone tbh

Fuck yessss So Good

TWO SONG SATURDAYS ARE THE BEST SATURDAYS

was that an 🙧

doing that was Really Annoying so I did it while you were cutsceneing lol

isjfdkl;kdjs I was wondering what you were typing

suddenly a raven talking about metaphysics appearing before ravhi the night before is MUCH funnier btw teak

ahahahah

wefiausdhfpsajdfl

at least Jory is a pleasant lavender?

I’mma kick your ass, Sam

I may minimally participate in the yapping for the next 15ish minutes or so but I have So Much To Yap

I think a group conversation wouldn’t go amiss

but we also don’t have to

Screaming may have happened

he was gonna see if he could carry her out that way when she came out she’d find herself in Relative Civlization instead of 10 feet from Screaming Heart God

THE DICE GODS ARE REAL

fucking lmao

That’s at least the third best thing that the dice have exploded on this campaign

I think there’s a good bit to discuss yet, but holy shit, imagine if that was the end of the scene

Truly

Valar dohaeris, my friend. No way you could invite me into your house and me not deliver my best

she’s so cool

<3

just out here giving my two friends existential crises like it aint no thang

as one does

Team Traumaaaaaaa

welcome to clan emberlight

You’ll recieve you Trauma Packet in the mail, along with your membership card.

yeah :starstruck emoji:

absolute comedy

y-yeah

Pads and I, to Chaya after the rugby game today, fuckin’ SAME.

yeah no doubt yall can relate lol I imagine yall feel about like I did that day the fridge fell on me.

The what

What in the ACME-ass

The Day The Fridge Fell

Oh this was years ago, when I used to deliver and install appliances for Lowes.

That makes… more sense

somebody had a very sloped lawn and the grass was wet, and I wound up underneath their old fridge as I was hauling it back out to the truck lmao

jesus

Quick side note: Archie’s IC reason for being kinda quiet right now is that he’s brimming with Theories but recognizes that this is a moment for Feelings. Ooc I’ve successfully relocated but also am big eepy

there was very colorful language involved yeah lol

Also that’s fucking horrifying

I definitely have theorizing juice in me but I don’t want to shift the emotion so it can definitely wait.

I mean I was almost as big as the fridge, so I just sorta heaved it over and got myself back up. But I was not happy about it lol

ghjfghdouhgoui

and yeah I think I am tapped out if we want to end it.

Jesus fuck, Sam. Yeah, that sounds Bad.

the kind of thing that might sorely inconvenience an ordinary mortal, yeah lol

Yeah. Plenty of theories I could discuss IC, but also, could let ‘em cook overnight and do side scenes all week if I’m lucky

nailing pictures of the slain god to the town square obv

Works for me! Thank you all for the session!

kk works for me

I am admittedly good to wind down, I’m starting to struggle. ^_ ;

yeah I figured that was a good a place to end as we did some yappin’ there

Yeah, my brain is starting to check out. LOL

<3 <3 <3

Hangout! lol

Yeeee! I gotta bio first tho. Been drinking water, trying to stay hydrated. >.<

Mu sessions are great reminders to stay hydrated

lol

lol

the hateful sun has had its water today. Have you?

big 90’s commercial energy there

SAVED MY THE MEDIA PLAYER BEING FUCKY

immediately just bathing in the radiation for some reason, why is this girl so broken

I don’t know. You could ask her.

seems unlikely, she immediately fucked off to be self destructive

too bad you don’t have a way of communicating outside that

yeah

if only telepathy wasn’t banned :(

;(

too bad salme can’t do some kind of mind-link or something

: “think with your meat” is very funny but alas I am thinking meat = dick = think with your dick

if I accidentally flub some continuity lmk

can edit

dfoiauweoifjasw;

[some time later]

damn, i didn’t realize they had a culture of customary pies during dates here

did I just get directed to a brothel?

I mean, nbd, she wouldn’t care, but.

and that’s scene unless you want to add anything else

thank you that was … weird and fucked up and informative

: “delight”

literally misery porn

dfaoispjdfopfwjief

also if Aurelius would not be there, lmk and I can have her go looking

lmao aury

Doomed

: “wanna go carve a notch in the heart”

oifjaoipgfaewjfoipearjg

laughed aloud

<Aurelius> “I’m fine hearing your biased accounting of things”**

<Aurelius> [Is promptly subjected to a series of batshit biased accountings]

he’s so cute trusting and expecting her to not be Maximum Unhinged

fukken lmaos

: “Aurelius : “Well, I think now I am obligated to ask why you spent the night in a brothel? I had assumed you had something important you needed to reference in the library archives or something.”*
