Scene Archives

oh i didn’t even realize until now that the Mysterous Thread was in NSFS not Gen until just now lol

at least ??? is thoughtful about where they post

aw shit

new songs

THREE!

: “Where Once Our Footsteps Fell”

unless I didn’t notice it

ICE LOOK

lmfao

teakgestaltnichtwissen

as teak do

why is there something above heartache

actually thats probably my fault

fucked up an epilogue appeared at the 2/5ths marl

huh?

epilogue?

the new last track???

but it appeared at the 2/5th mark?

or are you saying oh … that teak was Inspired for it Now?

yes

… sorry I can’t read either

You did, in fact, perpetrate a murder.

squint

…Dreaming Serpent…?

For whatever reason, that didn’t just OHKO Wolf, that OHKO’ed me.

Goddamn it, Teo, I had just recovered myself…

… absolute Teo move

I missed it the first time, so I’m glad I caught it this time around! <3

sdhfawepfaoipsfjoapef

perhaps not tonally appropriate for the moment, narr-kun.

(fen u should pester teak about arete)

not arete, techne, shit

ye

Why should I pester Teak about techne?

because if you’ll full cast u should get Cool Techne. It’s fun.

wait you can ascend stats?????????

…I don’t know what any of that means. >.>

techne are the little things that appear on the bottom of the character boxes, that either help you make rolls or let you do specific things

yeah, i have a tiny lil bump vs all these chuckle heads with d12s!!

i imagine one of dyu’s techne is probably related to his Real Good Healing Spell….??

yeah rolling dice is for suckers

hence above confusion :P

I assume Teak and I will have to sit down about all that, because I haven’t interacted with that part of the UI at all. <,<

you can poll Clan Emberlight for teche ideas but don’t expect to get Useful Answers From Certain People

yeah, kat’s historically pr bad at thinking up techne

(pads, that can be scene there if you’d like to fade to talking? can also keep doing if you have beats you want to hit)

I almost told ice to eat shit but then realized he’s Not Wrong. Thus is the curse.

I think it’s a pretty good fade-out there…?

YES lmfao “I don’t know if I can” [proceeds to with enthusiasm]

Excellent

Yes, that’s why he was smiling slyly. LOL

cute. and well done. and also Dog and Salme both got to hug Wolf.

<3 <3

A damn fine song, too, Teakers. Needed that.

ok teak dogs are dreaming serpent coded right

did you add radiant but not tenebrous

kat

damn, associate with both fabrics of reality

ya

I added radiant but not tenebrous

if you want to know tenebrous you can ask!

you think holding this over me gives you power, but it does not

it just seemed bizarre to update the list with one not both lol

I don’t think it gives me power

I think I would like to share something with you that you might be excited about. Or perhaps mildly interested.

oh well in that case i could probably use some taco bell gift cards

: a piece of information*

your birthday isn’t until december

if EITHER Jorule or Aurelius asked diagetically salme’d tell them, but that would require them asking

barks!

yeah

… and Salme would probably volunteer if she thought Aurelius or Jorule would ever give half a shit, but. [stares @ u]

the perils of getting the Cool One first

they’re all cool!

one is much cooler than the others

takwood

yeah sure

: “A Kinder, More Convenient Path” lmao

ewfoaisudfpoawe AURY

wheezing (laudatory)

small edit deep in the backscroll since i almost forgot to mention the tracer on the meat-gate lol

haha

ty for remembering

ye i hadn’t been thinking there’d be a scene tonight so it wasn’t forefront in my mind at the start, and then i was like ‘oh yeah. ALSO Oh Yeah I can edit shit in backscroll here :O’

the Power

bout to say ‘if you find anything he left while clearing out the castle let us know’ and then remember the castle wasn’t around several hundred runs ago lol

tho actually I wonder if Zosimos’ sadness hut does show up with reset. if he had a sadness hut

ye

cuuute and also hysterical

u guys rock

n/p didn’t even eat any crackers

how can you say you’re really friends with someone if you can’t sit dead silent in a room and send text messages back and forth without bothering to look up

actually we’re just going to wander around inside the ziggurat for a sec and see if there’s anything new

ooh that’s a good techne idea SHOULD learn psychometery……………………………

:eyes: modified methexis but for Stuff.

ice, you know what you have to do.

i do

and im doing it

thats why i only just saw the attempt

huh?

all will make sense in time

:fishthink:

…………….. :(

secret shenanigans

alas, again you allude to context I don’t have. your tragically clueless friend.

also sorry Salme is I guess Delighted to share fun word-facts

That’s okay idk what that means either,

if we wait long enough maybe teo or pads will tho…

I figure any methexis shenanigans can happen offscreen

and we can just offramp from here

scene?

haha yw

I still love the infinite “please tell my NPCs stuff I, the GM already knows” it’s really cute

o/

I mean if the question is whether Archie is going to involve Caion in shenanigans, the answer will always be yes so long as he’s available

oh yeah

No reason I have other than, Lucja has a 4 in liminal, btw

Oh oop

no worries

there well might be a reason

Lucja rolling will saves to not pet cat mid experiment

:catnod:

!!

Did take half of my Arete but hey, that’s what it’s for, lol

Oh right uhhh

rad + lim, ten+ lim

Yes! That!

Just notes for ourselves - after this we should try two i gnoses with a v and vice versa

yee

Honestly, that makes a lot of sense.

It truly does

That was Salme, right? I remember reviewing the known gnosis-science but I forgot who got the sample

Also I keep almost spelling it gnown

Update, Brown butter / earl grey / honey cake batter? DELICIOUS

I HAVE FIREBOMBS

I have the world’s strongest water balloon!

Teak: explodes rocks on party

Party: FUCK YEAH

I mean… yes

Interesting - like noble gases

Which begs the question of whether it’s possible to create quintessence from its requisite parts, and if not, whether there’s a finite amount or some other source

I mean, we can keep pushing the experiement

It’s all you! I enjoy this moment of Archie and Caion being cute together but also being established Academy Scholars watching in wonderment as this off-world, would-be Scholar does his work

The look of horror as they realize they’ve let the only person they know who eats rocks make the magic rock science

Nah just means he’s the perfect fit

Djfkgotosnakq

LOL

hahaha

Fixed the typo but Archie saying git instead of got would make sense for the Cajun of it all

O no

fuckin d4s

The most likely to explode, IN THEORY. THE MOST LIKELY TO ALWAYS ROLL ONES WHEN YOU’RE DOING COOL THIGNS

I do love me some free arete

make no mistake

:thinkbird:

I have several miracles to pull off in the future

Watch it just turn to void mud in my hands.

roll the cat in mud

Nooo, cat too dainty and perfect

holy shit my kitchen smells amazing

(dignified hunger noises)

!!! Smart idea!!

I’m going to need to end scene soon and I think we covered everything I personally thought of. We didn’t do the flourishing infusion if we wanna confirm the pollen thing?

I mean, yeah, I’ll blow myself up for science, unless you want to!

But this scene deserves a better end line

Someone say something dramatic and/or adorable

Perfect, no notes

SCIENCEEEEEE

Thanks for scene, both of you!

Thank you!!

you get to delete a tag (arch) b/c computer had a hickup and processed enter before some other letters

close a door?

I almost typed ‘sietch’ as ‘creche’

yeah you’re stuck

luckily Salme is saved

is he using the tablet at the same time as we are btw?

lol hell yeah

lol you’ll have to narrate us discovering it

:D

also i know this is mostly a function of RL Timing Obligations but it’s real funny to have salme in aury’s DMs going ‘fuck i need to do something productive and helpful to stop worrying about this’, getting some ideas on how to help the exac, and then going ‘actually i’ma go talk about rocks with the rock eater’ lol

hjahahaha

I know T-T

in my head she got frustrated trying to figure out fiend science and gates in Almachadta and went to bug the robot

lol

hachi is too hot

that scene shouldn’t be allowed

mfw you just gave him an arete because you didn’t wanna figure out how to display -1 in the UI

oh right catherine, additional baseball metaphor: “swinging for the fences”

Publisher’s Rights

not the song i was expecting this to be but upon retrospect

ahahahahahahaha <3

how could you not expect precisely this

how could it ever be otherwise?

oh no i mean i didn’t this the the song title was gunna be this one

song itself fits perfect, kinda fucks

oh. teak added it right after hachi mentioned wanting to do this so I figured

man

amazing

ah

huh “The Anticipation of Joy” is new I think

oooh

yes it is

like

half, minimum, of disc 2 was added after the game started i’m pretty sure at this point. shit’s doubled lol

there was a couple there too

there were an absurd amount of disc 1 additions as well, yes

I desperately need to be able to play this bass riff

scene? I like to imagine that sometime after this, awoken sings Baka Mitai as solo karaoke but I mean, that’s unlicensed use

hahahahahahaha

thank YOU for indulging me teakwood <3

I mean, I wish I had more?

I’m Attempting To Think not very successfully

neat

I’m good

I have one question I think

I’m pretty sure I know the answer but I have to ask

I don’t have anything left really unless u do

I’m good

Luĉja needs to keep their eyes shut for a hot minute

vertigo robot

eepy teo

Thank you!

poor vertigo robot

thank you!!!

new song?!

Luĉja confirmed entelech(y|eia)

weird that S&B doesn’t speak in alethic like DM did.

: WEIRD THAT NARRKUN CALLED THEM STRANGER & BROTHER

…what the FUCK IS THIS

Awa made a record pressing

a bop :D

Teakwood, what did you do

…goddamn it, send this to me

my only regret is that you don’t have a lead sheet for this

What the fuck were you smoking when you wrote this?!

….and where can I get some of it?

oh oops yeah you did

smokin’ that tenebrous good-good

oop

Jesus christ this is insane, seriously, what were you thinking of…?

lo fi jazz?

There’s more to it than that

yeah it’s extremely in tune with the style it’s imitating haha

honestly, they were probably thinking of them with one of their insane cocktails in a jazz lounge on Valais, if I had to guess

one more before bed

is there … unwritten notes or something at play?

thats jazz, baby

(also sorry teak I didn’t think to poke at the stranger thing I didn’t want to distract)

<3

tbf Aurelius could probably punch a kitten and she’d find it charming

it probably had it coming

deliquent biker gang ass kitten

salme would believe that probably

: “wow aury you really managed to discern that kitten’s Bad Vibes”

: “perfectly innocent”

gave the sentient pile of leather anxiety

you may think it’s cute when they sing swaggering rock sex ballads, but they only do that when they feel threatened

uewifasipudfopawejifpoawjefoip

salme is coping with the fact that aurelius seems to think the planewalker’s guide was meant to be comforting to literally anyone.

she can’t figure out if Aurelius thinks she’s that bad at comforting people, Aurelius has a low bar for comfort, or Something Else

’oh it’ll be so confusing, we need to have an easy way for them to learn about what happened and why and explain things in an easy to understand way so they don’t panic -‘

yeah I think

my main take from that collection of words

is “damn i’m glad your foot is not super fucked up now”??????

yeah I think … RIP Mr. Knife but.

I’m glad your foot is ok

: “oh it’ll be so confusing, we need to have an easy way for them to learn about what happened and why and explain things in an easy to understand way so they don’t panic -“ wheremst is this text coming from?

clearly not the exact wording but that was the jist of the conversation they had before she started writing it

I’m not sure it was

i mean oocly it was almost certainly just a coping method to process for her but

she said something in that vacanity with her words

: “vacanity”

oocly it was a “I am tired of having to Explain The Plot to NPCs and I want to know What We Told Them and What They Now Know”

it was practical! she’s sometimes practical!

jokes on you for treating npcs like people

:E

(waves!)

I’m real excited to see what you name this scene

Ok! I have food coming in half an hour, and then half an hour after that I’ll need to relocate to my parents’ place. Neither of those should require a hard stop

O no :(

If Nintendo did a crossover collab for Bonanza with Kraft and released it in Canada we’d have DK KD

This scene title is already deeply homosexual, I’m in

Secretly this scene is Raha x WOL fic where the WOL gets to keep their promise to give Raha a tour of their adventures post-EW

O no

he said he didn’t want the job,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Okay wait hold up, help me a sec - is he referring to Archie talking in Pellucid font?

And the crystal being the kleis?

Is Septetrione the right spelling btw? I keep being like “it’s like serpent but not”, and that’s enough to get me in the ballpark but it’s maybe not the most precise lol

fascinating

just got home from vball - reading scene

Question - I don’t remember how close the Mask shrine is to the Quarry and Courtyard

O no, okay

Critical levels of adorable

The door out to Samudra!

Cuuuuuuute

I’m starting to fade a bit but we’ve basically covered the big points, I’d be happy to start working toward a conclusion

<3333

I’m happy calling scene there?

Thank YOU! I know how much work that is and I appreciate you being willing to do it in the name of being cute

What a lovely scene, gosh

:D

I am learning so many new words

: “sulcating” is A Word

huh?

: “It is likely that, before too long, there will be a pile of cat-sand, from which later, stranger, feline pebbles will emerge. “ this is cute, but also cat-sand makes me think of litter

I’m still typing lmao

yay

also if any of this breaks anything/I need to roll lmk and I will edit/roll as you desire.

is it worth checking in on Ciet or should we move on after this?

………………..

Eloonjäänyt is so stupid looking but that was the right word

literally any other vowel would look better

does the swift have a name she can ask or would she want to name it? feels weird the fiend has a name but not the swift

yeah I got that impression. but wolf named his? they don’t inherently have names?

lmfao I love it

okay I’ll think about it

and it’s her fang deck if we’re keeping track

of numbers I mean, tho I doubt it.

I figure they can chat on screen for a beat or two, and then we can say some Time Passes where they just hang out, and then move on to the last thing?

damn i cant believe salme was a fungus this entire time

aoeijrfapoiefjspo

hot mycelium girls in your area!

in all areas

they’re already here

SALM

hi

hey :3

hey :3

I figure we can just get the gate made and then say she hangs out long enough for them to gather some supplies for her to take? and then you can have … a short break lmao I’m sorry

lol

all right, I think that’s end. just final narration and then scene?

I have a final beat and then scene

scene

Lovely scene!

tyyyy <3

I’m here. Still waiting for pizza to arrive, lol. -_-

teak’s not stuck in here with us, we’re stuck in here with teak

It’s all good! I figured I’d eat at my desk whenever it arrives anyway. :)

so I have about 10 or so minutes to go grab a shower? I know people are trickling in and if not I can Wait I just feel Icky

wow way to tell me I stink all the way in buffalo

FERAL FOREST GIRL GO SHOWER

y’gotta play the lo-fi intro next

Some Hades 2 DNA in the track, too

:

Pizza just arrived, gonna grab a plate, brb.

i blame catherine

Y’all…this pizza looks like it was fucking bukkake’d.

ordered it with extra cumb

I just posted pics of it on Padfoot’s discord.

Who’s Awa talking to? =P

Aury’s the one snarking at him

they both wear red

And are otherwise SO much alike. ;)

they both has similar big brother energy yeah…

the Aury/Wolf tag is solely populated by one (1) teakwood

actually … no. I know migratory slash fandom. that place is hopping.

yeah. again the two most conventionally attractive men

… doomed

I figured! :D

sort of a … loaded choice for being about to go to a dead world, but

(possibly a dead world)

(a death-themed world)

wow

(WOW)

bluh not sure why all these people started showing up right after I hit enter to signal i Was Here but

they sensed you having fun

sorry, ginally here

now im wondering if awa eats the cheese wax………………………..

why’d he use an umlaut………

teak is a Goof

because the O’s are pronounced separately

it’s a diaeresis not an umlaut. it denotes —yeah, separate vowel sounds

like in noël

a trema/dieresis is separate yeah

my uncle once took a diaeresis and he just couldn’t stop going to pee, it was crazy

hachi that’s such a bad joke I’m considering breaking up with you

<3

(life is short, ragebait your girlfriend)

he’s right

I’m not even angry just. the most tired, ben-affleck-smoking-meme reaction

but also, life is short because you ragebait your girlfriend

two things can be true nodding sagely

I think you mean interplanar teak

aurelius needs to introduce fistbumps to the world

fug it’s so hot outside

it’s october why is it 96 degrees. why is it going to be 100 tomorrow ; ;

that’s awful.

dang not even houston has next week lined up like that

y

Oh great, the elemental plane of vertigo

Vertigo and easy listening

aww yeah we’re noir not victorian lets go

Wolf: “CAAAAAN YOU FEEEEL THE LOOOVVVE TONIIIIGHT”

hhahahah

LOL!

: snickers

I was about to be like, umm, I don’t have a deck or anything. >.>

taru you did it, you kompressed time

: “no relation” killed me

-snickers-

it was super good yeah hahah

i got nothin for the first names tho you’re on your own there :E

LOAM

: “my beloved tana’loof” is just

not it

hahhaahhaha

ya’ call ‘em your precious loofa

I would

we’re gonna need to go to valais kindergarten

teakwood you’re a sick fuck

think tan was 1 but could not even begin to guess at the other two without more context so while we look like we were dropped on our heads as children already anyway…………………

tan is ten, I think

no

one

you’re right

maybe.

fuickin crazytown over here

glad i asked imagine how much they could of ripped us off at market!!

but do they have a number for zero

Psst, I’m here now!

welcome! we’re all Fucking Confused

you picked the right time to show up

…well, that’s creepy…

this song fucks

I fuckin love this

this is so good lmao

this is SO GOOD

…this song?

What, and I cannot stress this enough, THE FUCK!?

…I’m not quite as floored as ‘What Swims Below’ but I’m definitely more creeped out

DELIGHTFUL LET US FIND ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS HERE

Yeah, ‘What Swims Below’ was fun. This is just Creepy.

there’s not a single line that doesn’t go hard in this song

…these lyrics should not be crooned

EXACTLY

you don’t wanna spread some bottled screams over your toast????

tasty

the geometry- it feels like up is down, and our brains had to recalibrate using a mountain(?) in the distance, but we were still aware of the sensation

: were -> still are*

they talk about time in terms of yesterday/today/tomorrow and their names are based on when they were born. I’ll be adding a folio on that, but yeah

which is actually the bottom, yeah?

it’s like several layers of flat planes that are connected via circular crystal-like but not entirely crystalline stairways

there’s a heavy metal remix of Downbelow that I do not have the skill to make but it exists in my head

Just finished catching up on the scene so far

so excited to have incorrectly guessed valais’ soundscape way back when

I read… p fast

what was your soundscape guess, ice?

more organs or orchestras

I haven’t heard the music yet so idk what the right answer is but I was expecting Viennese renaissance music

it’s

not that.

I’m ready now!

Kevin McLeod is that you

Wait nvm oh I love all of this

god I can’t hit those high notes I only end up going lower

wait shit I just realized he didn’t give the constellations in the order they are on the map lol

have to actually think about what goes to what later

I have some theories and I think Teo probably does too?

oh yeah it shouldn’t be hard it’ll just take more than 5 seconds

do you want the honor of naming “Tana’Loof Drum Casimir” on the map btw?

Casimir Pulaski Mentioned

But “Tana’Loof Drum” is the part that’s funny

My brain keeps wanting to read it as Tana’Loaf.

lolf

> Loom, Awl, Lamp, Drum, Mask, Book, Wolf, Bone, Lion, Beast, Knot, Loam, Snake, and then start back over at Loom

> Falling Leaf(?), Key-and-Gate(?), Lantern-And-Eye, Beating Heart, Duelist Mask, Unburnt Book, Sundered Wolf, Hollow Skull, Golden Lion, Fiend Engine, Soldier-and-Brother, Dreaming Serpent.

Loam is almost certainly Falling Leaf

Loom is the one that I think fits the empty space but I’m not sure

I tentatively have Loom as Fiend Engine, but I’m not positive

I have…no idea what y’all are talking about. >.>

They’re trying to line up the thirteen days in a Valaïs week with the thirteen constellations

ngl i assumed loam was a typo and not distinct but teak does hate me so maybe it is

<3

Gotcha.

why would you assume it’s a typo? that it would go Loom > many other things > Loam > Snake > Loom

oh then yeah loam’s falling leaf

because teak hates me specifically we just went over this

ok yeah that makes it pretty cleanly this then

> Loom, Awl, Lamp, Drum, Mask, Book, Wolf, Bone, Lion, Beast, Knot, Loam, Snake, and then start back over at Loom

> Empty Sky, Key-and-Gate, Lantern-And-Eye, Beating Heart, Duelist Mask, Unburnt Book, Sundered Wolf, Hollow Skull, Golden Lion, Fiend Engine, Soldier-and-Brother, Falling Leaf, Dreaming Serpent.

yeah that’s what I had. I think Teo had something different?

Yours makes sense as the default order in codex

oh that is the OG listed order huh i didn’t even notice lmao

I’m just looking for ways things could be hiding

since i was filling in the more obvious ones first and then working towards less certainty

ELEVATOR

old timey elevator like you’d expect to have a dedicated Operator for or

fascinating.

I was just about to ask what ice did lol

tf else would loom be are they making up constellations to replace empty sky down here

other guess: stillness & the song

Other other guess: the Loom is what used to be in the Empty Space before it was empty

mmm yeah S&S

yeah those are the two options

imo

dont like that “trecena” was the first word i googled and got a result for tonight lol

unless there’s a whole other option

: that’s interesting

loom makes a lot more sense. it’s what weaves and makes, if it refers to a traditional loom—the tension between the two being what weaves.

ye

have the other worlds ever really referred to the song and stillness?

Yeah

hmm

makes sense but still weird in this particular context, but then again they’re also using Actually Made Up Words too so

generally not in the same context as constellations tho

Also, no stars out that we can see here. So there’s that.

oh it’s super weird

Could just be that whatever nonsense happened, none of the Ancient world got put into this one and it’s some (literally) fresh hell, so they don’t have the same referents.

shit i should have asked him what the days of the week were named after but i imagine that would have been meet with a “???” anyway lol

I’m sure we’ll have time and maybe we’ll meet someone smarter than dumb and dumber?

but i want idiot approved answers

as i am an idiot too, myself

you’re not

though tragically, Teo was right and the numbers are indeed based off certain words.

: “Tragically”

I have a question but I don’t want to open up a whole new thread if we’re winding down

is guard-captain side-scene-able?

kk I’ll hold it

<3

I’m glad I was able to make it for at least some of the scene! Can’t wait to explore here

god

I want to say something wild

that’s what awas do

ye

I’ve got nothin’

I’m good

Nada.

I’m scene now

good

No singing for Wolf :(

Amazing

I wasn’t actually expecting that to be true when Salme asked Aurelius taht

Don’t Awoo

I need this .flac yesterday

It’s very Friends On The Other Side from Princess And The Frog-coded (positive, complimentary)

yes, yes, yes, yes

g’mornin’ reibs

good afternoon, now!
