[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 1] Hey guys, so I have a bit of a thought experiment for you. What do you do if you and the rest of your house ends up in a gigantic concrete box that just kind of screams 'welcome to the Matrix'? Please note that I am not crazy and everything following is part of said thought experiment edit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1coT1NcKm0Mj1_oASU0pvuxzL9rxVxoqpwFc0meDDJe0/edit?usp=sharing this is relevant i'm leaving this open to editing in case anyone has bright ideas on what to do https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VAtFFkeN4jh9jM3KiL_BOkt8YHSW0ZvAaCL9_aii54c/edit?usp=sharing and this is for the basics https://docs.google.com/document/d/11fqGp51GWOYcWsIMSt0Iz_JB1waheLDgrTuMqlQl4wo/edit?usp=sharing (edited)

Forged Esoterica notes

In time, you will uncover great things. For the moment, you’ll merely have a few boons. Patience will be rewarded. Note to self: Robin, make sure to clarify perks if you think their name could throw people off. (Sburban Chapter) Smooth Sylladex [200cp, Discounted to Strider/Lalonde]: Pretty much...

Forged Esoterica goals

The Basics - The Companions

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 2] Seriously hoping my internet is actually working here...

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:00 AM

pinch yourself? look for the red and blue pills?

CodeRR 25-Nov-20 06:00 AM

Um....your not having difficulty breathing are you?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 3] Found no red pills or blue pills but honestly I'm kind of having a panic attack on the porch right now.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:01 AM

aight so calm down

CodeRR 25-Nov-20 06:01 AM

Ok yeah just take in some deep breathes in and out

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:01 AM

oxygen might be limited if you are actually stuck in the concrete box

so calm down

have you checked around for any openings in the concrete?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:02 AM

how gigantic are we talking?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:02 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 4] It isn't so small that I'm likely to have a limited oxygen supply, I'm pretty sure you could fit new york and a few other big cities in it a few times over. Can't really see the ceiling

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:03 AM

oh

uhhhhh

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:03 AM

huh. does your plumbing work?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 5] Idk but I can check, one sec

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:03 AM

was your house in a city or something?

cause if you are suddenly in a concrete box the size of a city with no-one else around you, you might not be in kanas anymore (edited)

Malaki 25-Nov-20 06:04 AM

Kansas

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:04 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 6] was, yeah. Good news though, plumbing does work, and electricity too. Fridge is also looking fuller than I remember so I'm having caffine to calm me down lol

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 7] something about this seems counter-productive but idc

CodeRR 25-Nov-20 06:05 AM

Oh wow that's fucking huge. weird as fuck but roll with it

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:05 AM

so, firts few thoughts that came to mind are:

1) halucination

2) some eldritch power is interested in you

3) someone shrunk you and your house and put it inside a concrete box

all i got

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:06 AM

plumbing is very weird

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:06 AM

so probably not shrinking

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:06 AM

that means there's some plumbing through the box...

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:06 AM

true

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:07 AM

do you have a basement you can poke around in?

might be some clues as to how this is happening down there

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:07 AM

got a car or something to try and look to the walls fora door?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:07 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 8] Plumbing rules out 3, i could be hallucinating but it's very detailed for a hallucination. do have a basement but it has a bunch of sandy crap in there that makes my breathing worse and that's currently a problem so im gonna stay up here for now until i chill

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:07 AM

if not, I can try to walk you through safely back-tracing the plumbing

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:08 AM

^^^

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:08 AM

oh. bummer

Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 1] Hey guys, so I have a bit of a thought experiment for you. What do you do if you and the rest of your house ends up in a gigantic concrete box that just kind of screams 'welcome to the Matrix'? Please note that I am not crazy and everything following is part of said thought experiment edit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1coT1NcKm0Mj1_oASU0pvuxzL9rxVxoqpwFc0meDDJe0/edit?usp=sharing this is relevant i'm leaving this open to editing in case anyone has bright ideas on what to do https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VAtFFkeN4jh9jM3KiL_BOkt8YHSW0ZvAaCL9_aii54c/edit?usp=sharing and this is for the basics https://docs.google.com/document/d/11fqGp51GWOYcWsIMSt0Iz_JB1waheLDgrTuMqlQl4wo/edit?usp=sharing (edited)

Eternaly_Lost 25-Nov-20 06:08 AM

Pinned a message.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:08 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 9] No car or anything, but i am near one of the walls, and given everything seems lit up basically equally outside my house it should be... relatively easy to spot i guess??

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:08 AM

everything is lit up?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:08 AM

wait like fullbright lighting?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:08 AM

do you see any light sources?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:09 AM

that aint natural at all

like no visible source and there are no shadows

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:09 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 10] There are some laps way up on the roof, i think?? my vision isnt the best

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:09 AM

ah ok

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:09 AM

lamps? huh.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:10 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 11] but like, everything is lit up as if the lights were way closer, and i dont think that's how light physics work

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:10 AM

ok so fullbright

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:10 AM

wonder why someone would bother to run electricity up that high, particularly if they have to rip the laws of physics a new one to make things work anyway

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:10 AM

yeah number 2 is seemingly more likely

like i put it as a joke

but wow

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:11 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 12] yeah kinda. I'm not even gonna pretend to be good at explaining this stuff rn, i'm barely understanding what the hell is going on

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:11 AM

probably means that whoever set this up doesn't need to consider infrastructure setup difficulty as a notable concern

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:11 AM

like some horor movie where the vilain forgot to show up

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:11 AM

just so many easier ways to get basically the same effect

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:11 AM

sounds creepy

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 13] Please god do not tell me i'm in a horror movie, the best i got to defend myself nearby is knives

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:12 AM

probably not

does the lighting cover the entire box or just near you/the house?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:12 AM

this does remind me of a couple SCPs, but without the creepypasta part, honestly

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 14] I think it covers the entire box? I can't exactly check, id collapse before i got halfway into the place and my eyesight isnt the best

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:13 AM

ok so yeah you said the box was kinda big, and the lams equally cover the box

seems like some mystical stuff to me

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:14 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 15] The effect doesn't extend into my house, thankfully, its just like someone's shining lights through the windows

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:14 AM

huh. well, it doesn't look like there's anything immediately life threatening and the whole thing is set up as a monolith thing...

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:14 AM

so look around for any weird doors or keys

or holes in walls

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:14 AM

yeah. once you do that, you're probably best served taking a nap

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:14 AM

of your house

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:15 AM

hurry up and wait, and so on

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:15 AM

yeah look for anything that is off, then get some sleep for a better search later

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 16] I'm gonna see if there's anything weird that's been moved around. There's definitely some weirdness going on in here, btw, since apparently my phone is dead right now, as i type on it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 17] Would not be shocked if the same goes for my laptop

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:16 AM

weird

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 18] On the plus side, i can use maximum brightness and my phone won't die in 5 minutes, so at least there's something positive to come from this

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:16 AM

nice

also you got glasses?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 19] Unfortunately no

Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 18] On the plus side, i can use maximum brightness and my phone won't die in 5 minutes, so at least there's something positive to come from this

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:18 AM

That is not dead which may eternal lie

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:18 AM

hopefully no strange aeons here

we don't want death dying (edited)

at least yet

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:19 AM

yeah. the end of death is not a fun time

Malaki 25-Nov-20 06:19 AM

And electronics are def not dead i guess

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:19 AM

well it depends on your definition of "alive"

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:19 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 20] My folks aren't exactly big of taking care of problems like that for some reason and yah, agreed, but until there's confirmation one way or another im gonna abuse my zombie electronics to the fullest extent lol

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:19 AM

your folks? is there anyone else there with you?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 21] my dad and my grandpa were in the house before it ended up here, but neither are here now. and my dog, too, but again, no signs

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:20 AM

oohhhhh

some twilight zone stuff goin on

yeah i think if it is not scenario 1

then deff number 2

wow

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:21 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 22] i'm pretty sure it's not scenario 1 the more i go on. way too internally consistant from what i'm seeing.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:21 AM

almost feels like some sort of quarantine

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:21 AM

yeah, like i said that as a joke to try and cheer you up

but wow it is seemingly more likely

that or a giant prank

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:22 AM

like, someone needed to come up with the closest possible approximation of a blank featureless void without killing you

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:22 AM

yeah

kinda hard to do

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 23] whoever did this has a shit sense of humor and i'm calling them out on twitter dot com. i mean, not really, this seems to be the only place messages are coming and going on this damn thing, but

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:23 AM

could still be an odd form of VR Full Dive, but if that was the case, why limit themselves to such a... boring approach to things, comparatively?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:24 AM

sooo any weird dolls you never remember buying? rusty keys that follow you everywhere? green swirling portals in the fridge? just trying to rule out the tropes

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:24 AM

and also, in that case, I have so many questions, including but not limited to "why do this rather than make all of the money by selling your tech?"

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:24 AM

^^^^

yeah like someone/thing is messing with you specifically

but is seemingly benign for now (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 24] Dev room? IDK man. I'm broke as hell Xan so buying anything is out of the cards for me lol, so probably not VR or evil dolls from ebay. Already checked th something fell upstairs brb

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:25 AM

be carefull!

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:25 AM

inb4 Migo

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:26 AM

inb4 the matrix broke (edited)

like yeah now that i think about it it really does sound like a dev room

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:27 AM

don't dev rooms normally have dev objects lying around, though?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:27 AM

maybe that is what fell

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:27 AM

could be, I suppose

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:27 AM

probably took time to load in

lol

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:27 AM

but why in his house rather than anywhere in the entirety of the rest of the room?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:28 AM

would you want to walk far to get the dev items you made?

if you have a dev room for justa house?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:28 AM

devs aren't gonna be bothering with limits like stamina and movement speed, after all

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:28 AM

yeah but ease of access

anyhoo

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 25] Found a book near a bookshelf in my room, and it looks like a goddamn necronomicon. feels like really cheap leather though, so that's something. it's labeled 'Forged Esoterica'

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:28 AM

you're positing that the dev room was designed from the ground up with the assumption that the house'd be there

huh

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:29 AM

aight so be carefull

probably a book of power

or something

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 26] i'm gonna read through it and copy down what i find in a google doc for yall (edited)

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:29 AM

one point in the weird knockoff column, I guess

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:29 AM

good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 27] assuming google docs cooperates that is

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:29 AM

yeah

if they only allowed your communication with us, and nothing else

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 28] Okay, so when I finished reading through, I heard some heavy metal stuff hitting the ground in a few places, I'm gonna drop the google doc in here and edit my original post to include it https://docs.google.com/document/d/1coT1NcKm0Mj1_oASU0pvuxzL9rxVxoqpwFc0meDDJe0/edit?usp=sharing

In time, you will uncover great things. For the moment, you’ll merely have a few boons. Patience will be rewarded.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 29] there's a hole in the big concrete wall

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:36 AM

ok yeah i think i have an idea

these sound like some things from some stories i read

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:36 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 30] I think we read the same stories, Xan, because that text definitely feels familiar but I can't think of anything off the top of my head

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:37 AM

hah. well, if that thing says what I think it says... you should be able to technical things with almost contemptuous ease

not sure how to test, though

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:37 AM

ah wait yeah

the stuff at the top

did not read that

so yeah

eldritch powers have taken interest in you

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:38 AM

odd that it says 'have a few boons' rather than 'are granted a few boons'

whoever wrote this is implying that they take a very passive roll

concern

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:38 AM

so benign for now

so no need to worry too mutch

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:39 AM

but that also implies that whoever this is isn't necessarily in control of what is happening

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:39 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 31] I'm not sure how I feel about the pseudo-necronomicon being chill. I mean worst case scenario I could toss it on the oven or something, this makes me think there might be entities, plural, keeping an eye on things

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:39 AM

which means we can't even figure out their motives to understand what is happening

hmm entities plural sounds like a good guess

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:40 AM

hold on

one of the boons talks about post jump

and post spark

....

seems like an agent of jump-chan...

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:40 AM

that rings a bell, I think

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 32] ???

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 33] okay im gonna sound like an idiot here, but what's a jump-chan??

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:41 AM

aight, so jump-chan is the name people have given the eldritch being responsible for the creation of those boons (edited)

like mostly benign

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:42 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 34] Oh shit is this an anime thing

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:42 AM

and if this is what we think it is, you are most likely safe

nah not anime, just a name, cause she used to give a lot of powers straight out of anime

like send people to anime

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 35] Am I gonna have to have a mental breakdown over being anime now? lmao

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:43 AM

nah fam

should probably check out that hole in the wall tho

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:43 AM

I'm not sure I like the sort of anime that sends people into concrete boxes

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:44 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 36] Today is giving me emotional whiplash. Also the hole seems like a hallway, has two doors. One of them looks kind of fancy, the other looks like it's from my house.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 37] They also both seem a little open at the moment.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:45 AM

oooooh. peek in them

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:45 AM

default to the normal door, I say. don't wanna risk a holy grail issue

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:45 AM

yeah dont go into the fancy door, but take a peek

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:45 AM

actually, what sort of fancy?

fancy wooden trim? metal embossing? or?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:46 AM

wait yeah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 38] Fancy trim and flowery carvings, though looking at it closely it also seems kind of old and beat up. I can hear voices on the other side. (edited)

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:46 AM

I'm still stuck on the 'newth'lhlhi

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:46 AM

wait the boons

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:47 AM

voices. definitely go the other door

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:47 AM

yeah other door

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 39] Handle has a bunch of gold bs going on with it, and a lock. Gonna check out the other first.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:48 AM

one of the boons said you have been a crime lord in London town

but how? have you ever ben to a place called London town? (edited)

and a good crimelord at that, with high connections

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 40] Took a peek in, and it looks like my house from when I was a kid and stuck living with my grandma. A lot cleaner, though. I don't think so? I'm honestly feeling kind of confused about that, though, I think something might be fucking with my head given the headache I'm starting to get

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 41] Fuck this i have painkillers at home

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:50 AM

yeah. close the doors and take a nap

this nonsense'll probably still be there when you wake up

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:50 AM

ok this seems like a big choice

like whichever door you chose will decide your fate

and the path you take

kinda thing

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:51 AM

woof man. thats a bit of a leap

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 42] I am not gonna take a nap, I am gonna stay on the internet after my painkillers

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:51 AM

hey it aint that big a leap

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:51 AM

point. if you're doing painkillers, then yeah

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:51 AM

two doors at the end of the hallway

and semingly mystic stuff al around

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 43] They weren't at the end, I should mention, they were just kind of on the side

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:52 AM

like left and right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 44] No, like both were on the left side of the hall that got made

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:52 AM

if we're seriously considering this sort of thing, then we need to also consider drawing lines of salt

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:53 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 45] I'm not sure I have salt, i'd have to look

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:53 AM

we have already established eldritch powers at work

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:53 AM

waitamoment. where in your house is the opening to this hall?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:54 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 46] It isn't in my house, it's in the box's wall near my house

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:54 AM

ah

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:54 AM

so a door should be chosen. it seems like the door with the voices is the call to adventure and the other one is the return to a normal life, if the tropes still hold

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:54 AM

still odd, but a more manageably so

if this is how adventure is presenting itself, I'd say no

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 47] Honestly I'm just wondering why the hall had all that extra space if it wasn't gonna use it

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:55 AM

but then again it could be something else. at least, could you tell what the voices were saying?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:55 AM

adventure without rhyme or reason? just eldritch nonsense? no siree

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:56 AM

well they seem to be taking notes from the jump-docs

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:56 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 48] I couldn't, no, it just kind of sounded like a crowd of people chatting

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:56 AM

so they cant be all that evil

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:56 AM

why? can't they be all that evil? there are a lot of ways to go maximum evil from here

including but not limited to an endless maze of houses and concrete chambers

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 49] Saw another door appear from my window near the entrance of the hall, looks kind of sci fi?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:57 AM

well i think this is where you decide your fate, or it could be something anticlimactic like that door leads to some people who will explain your situation, and the other is just to go between your homeworld and back here

oh wait

annother door?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:57 AM

another door?

did..

did the book change?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 50] lemme check

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:57 AM

oh wait yah

this might be turning into a hub of sorts

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 51] nope, no changes i can see

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:58 AM

huh

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:58 AM

waaaait

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:58 AM

so there isn't a 1-1 relationship between doors and that book

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:58 AM

three doors

three chapters in the bookm

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:58 AM

oh

I recind my claim

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:58 AM

a sci fi in the space ship chaper (edited)

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:59 AM

is the new door scifi looking?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:59 AM

a vicotrian era door for london town

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:59 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 52] Yeah it's like a bulkhead or something I think?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:59 AM

oh no

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:59 AM

and a suburban house with your grandmas house

Esprit 25-Nov-20 06:59 AM

oh nooo

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:59 AM

yeah

you are stuck on this adventure

seems like you get to pick your genre

at least

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:00 AM

eldritch see-the-sun-and-die london, murderous imposterbo ship, and something else probably very unsafe

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 53] Actually, you know what, I'm being an idiot, I'm gonna barricade the doors with what I can so I don't have to worry about body-snatching aliens

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:00 AM

yeah. you do that

salt line too if you can. take no chances

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 54] Or grandmas for that matter

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:00 AM

but that might make the powers dipleased if you dont chose

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:01 AM

if the powers are displeased that you refuse to commit suicide by Darwin Award, then they can hang

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:01 AM

like the only reasons i can think of doing this is to watch your adventure

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 55] If they wanted me in these locations right now I would be in them

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:01 AM

ah tru

i think this is some sort of chose your own adventure

and you are gonna run out of food in your house at some point

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:02 AM

might. they already increased the foodstocks

the food might refill automatically

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 56] That's true, and I was planning on exploring them anyways later for whatever resources I can get to barricade easier. Whoever brought me here might want me to explore in there eventually, do the protagonist isekai thing

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:03 AM

true. so you take some time to consider your options

gonna try to dig up info on those places

at least the suburban one

cause knowledge is power

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:04 AM

I vaguely remember something about someone accidentally (unmaking?) reality for the suburban thing

er. sburb, I think that was

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:05 AM

oh

uhhh noidea what it is

but it is frome some place called "homestuck"

heard about it before but got no idea what it is

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 57] Side note, I used my task superpower to clean up the trash around my house like. instantly, and fix my laptop a bit since the casing was kinda cracked, but I can't sort through the rest of my books for weird stuff at that same speed, so it seems like it's kind of selective

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:05 AM

tried reading it once. the UI was torture to page through

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:06 AM

oh wow so yeah those boons are workin

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:06 AM

you might be able to sort by category if you pre-label your shelves, because that could be routine cleanup

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:06 AM

you should look for that sylladex

it said you got one

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:07 AM

isn't that a heap-based inventory system?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:07 AM

think so

like it is a game inventory

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:07 AM

wait what in the world "A trained warrior, you have preternatural speed, able to strike fast and avoid your opponents counter attacks by flash-stepping, moving so fast that the naked eye has trouble keeping up. In this way, you may appear to teleport, nigh invisible while in motion. Might be hard to keep up moving like that through."

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:07 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 58] I've read through almost all of homestuck 1, so I think I'm good there? Which leaves Among Us and Fallen London I'm also not exactly sure where the sylladex is. Pesterquest said it was accessed by complex hand gestures, when viewed by an outside observer

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 59] I'm pretty sure I just don't have it equipped, or something. Found the symbol shirt in my closet, so it's laying around here somewhere.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:08 AM

you should ahave an alchemy machine somewhere

might be near it

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:08 AM

but, like, the training thing is just a thing you are rather than a part of the sylladex

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:09 AM

oh right

did you suddenly get new memories? try thinking of related homestuck stuff

like it might be there waiting to be remembered

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:09 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 60] Yeah and it hurts one sec

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:10 AM

take your time

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:11 AM

so before you go through the doors, try and search for memories related to them. you have time, so get all the info you can before a decision is made

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:11 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 61] Okay, seeing a pattern here. I don't think these things are properly connecting to my brain when it's like experience or stuff like that. Preexisting memories might be interfering some, I dunno? I'm not a magineurologist lmao

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:11 AM

ah

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:11 AM

makes sense

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:11 AM

perhaps that'll fix itself when you sleep, but no need to get our hopes up

or you might need to go through a relevant door

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:12 AM

yeah

but we know at least what one holds

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 62] I'm taking a shot in the dark here, I really dont know. Found the sylladex, though, it's under the corner of the alchemiter. Big platform-y thing, I'm pretty sure it weighs as much as a car.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 63] And it's array modus! The least weaponizable modus, huzzah. at least I won't have to fight it to make it work as an inventory

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:15 AM

so, become a crime lord with the door with voices, become a murder mystery sci-fi guy in the sci-fi door, and whatever homestuck is, cause i have hard of it but never got around to learning about it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 64] Become an emotional teenager with severe ptsd with homestuck lmao

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:15 AM

that seems to be the choices you got to get out of here

ah

so which sounds better? probably should decide after some rest

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:15 AM

the thing notes "Tasks (100CP, Free Crewmate)" under among us, so you probably won't become a horror monster

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:16 AM

like i said, murder mystery

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:16 AM

well, a worse horror monster. we're not entirely sure what the crewmates are

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 65] They are beans, precious and special ones

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:16 AM

and go there and you become one

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:16 AM

downside, I think you loose your knees

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 66] Nah. Im gonna be gay and do crime. Will note what happens with the other doors after I go through.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:17 AM

so murder mystery fear for your life, crime lord of eldritch town, or emotional teenager with ptsd

those seem to bee what you will become

ah k

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:17 AM

or what you will have to deal with at least even if you don't become one

would be weird being a human on imposterbo ship

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:17 AM

was gonna sugest you experiment with your stuff first

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 67] There might be more in the future, too. There was kind of an implication of that in the top text.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:18 AM

cause the house is some what safe

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:18 AM

like, you're obviously not a bean, but you're also not a.... whatever the imposters are

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:18 AM

like before you go into the door, grab the fruit and candles it said you had

from that door

probably would come in handy

a candle that give you ten minutes of second wind?

seems like it would be important (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:19 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 68] Whether that's more doors or more abilities is up for debate. I can't currently experiment with the alchemy stuff cause the sylladex is stuck under one of the machines. Might grab that candle though, actually. Not sure having stolen fruit from the queen would be the best idea, but the candle may give people an impression that I'm something I'm not.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:19 AM

I'm still very iffy about portal-hopping while high on painkillers, but can't really say you have a better option

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:20 AM

yeah take a nap first

be prepared

for your jump into being a crimelord

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 69] I mean, it's generic store-bought painkillers, I've done plenty on them before with no real drop in performance.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 70] It's not like I'm coming back from the hospital after being on morphine for like a week

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:21 AM

>_> I don't have the expertise to make a call here

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:22 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 71] Worst-case scenario, death doesn't work right in Fallen London.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:22 AM

k so grab the candle so you don't die as easily, there should also be a book called the ambition of the chained. the description said it can be useful as a distraction (edited)

might be in strange aeons

kek

come full circle

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 72] Didn't find it in my room, so I'm gonna check the basement. Wish me luck guys I fucking hate it down there

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 73] The spiders have not left.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:23 AM

wait spiders? (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:24 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 74] House has a few bugs in it apparently

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:24 AM

oh

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:24 AM

if the spiders haven't left, I'll tentatively call that a good sign

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:24 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 75] One of the fuckers is on the light switch, or rather was

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:24 AM

get a stick or something long

alsways good to have a ten foot pole, or just a long stick

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 76] Broom time

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:25 AM

poke itsy bitsy spider

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:25 AM

spoopy

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:25 AM

actually, happy thoughts

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:25 AM

happy thoughts (edited)

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:26 AM

if you end up traveling to various fictional places, you might eventually learn to ride a broom, which...

honestly, you'd probably want to attach a seat of some sort. otherwise, high-g wedgies are not fun

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:26 AM

i can never hear broom riding without thinking of a dnd podcast i saw with a centaur riding a flying broom

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:27 AM

could even get a baba-yaga setup with a flying urn-thing

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:27 AM

that is for the future. but now, spiders

they a problem?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 77] I have good news and bad news. Good news is I found the fallen london stuff down here, bad news is the book is as thick as my head and is entirely too heavy to haul upstairs, let alone around town also no they are not a problem im just kind of arachnophobic

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:28 AM

ah so gotta leave the book

well, make sure you have all you need before you head out

might be one way, might not

the fact that some things you got cant be moved by normal people makes me think you can return at some point

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 78] Baseball bat, candle, and phone are a go. Time for some door-based experimentation.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:29 AM

also you are probably entering into a place with people, based on the voices

so good luck

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:30 AM

may the force be with you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 79] It'll be near people I'm sure. Thanks

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:30 AM

and you most likely are a crime lord

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:31 AM

of course, its entirely possible that your origins are scrambled between worlds

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:32 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 80] Checking through both my memories and the text, I'm not really seeing clear connections between me and the underworld of Fallen London, as nice as it'd be to have the help. I think it might've just been an experience booster? Not sure.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 81] Some things are kind of a blur while others are crystal clear. Like, I can remember lying to some people, but not who the people are in detail.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:33 AM

weirrd

also, good to know that your origins are correctly matched to the right setting

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 82] Went through the door and appeared in an alleyway. Door has a key in it that looks kind of fancy and old. I can close the door fully from this side, too.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:34 AM

might be worth comparing how time flows

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:34 AM

ohhhhhh so

the key

to a hub

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 83] Oh fallen london's time is absolutely fucked, there's no point

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:34 AM

i was somewhat right

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:34 AM

right. point

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:35 AM

so yeah if i am right, that key can be used in any door to return

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 84] Seems like that might be the case. I removed the key and the door just lead into an abandoned-looking house.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:35 AM

wait. xanderpy. you might be more right than you think

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:35 AM

yeah bro you got a cosmic warehouse

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:35 AM

isn't there that one bazaar supplment thing for different jumpers to meet

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:35 AM

yep

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:36 AM

could be that thing got corrupted

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:36 AM

oh yeah

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:36 AM

instead of many jumpers to one bazaar, its one dude spread over far too much bread

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:36 AM

heh

no, he owns the bazzar

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:36 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 85] Not sure exactly what yall are talking about again. Went back into the warehouse, though (i think that's the right term?) the other doors are still there

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:36 AM

yeah warehouse should be right

so you can travel between settings

does time pause while you are in the warehouse?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 86] Doesn't seem so, I heard talking remember?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:37 AM

and if it does, does time pause for other settings while you are in one?

ah

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:38 AM

if time is flowing as linearly as settings allow, you might need to go to among us or risk the ship being taken over by the imposter(s) and rendered wholly unsafe

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:38 AM

oh yeah

and a spaceship sounds nice

and that candle

could save you if you get atacked by the imps, long enough to go to medbay and heal

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:38 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 87] i might, but at the same time, i can't fight The Thing expy on the among us ship

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:38 AM

ah

get power from another setting

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:39 AM

well, yeah. def not quite yet, but it might be on a time limit of some sort

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:39 AM

eh

you always have the door

all that would happen is there are 1-3 impostors

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:39 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 88] yeah i'll wait on more powers and hope that matpat's video on what's supposed to happen in among us' plot is right

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 89] I just took 1d9 psychic damage from typing that.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:40 AM

oof

so ptsd teenager or crime lord, you wanted crime lord, so check to see what is waiting for you there

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:41 AM

I think you got me with a sneak attack there

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 90] lol

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:41 AM

gimme a short rest to recover a little

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:41 AM

eh mat pat aint that bad. just too mutch fnaf

Esprit 25-Nov-20 07:41 AM

matpat skips the most important part of research and theory crafting

intentionally looking for counterarguments and evidence that opposes your conclusion

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:42 AM

he might now, but before he was good (edited)

so crime time?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:42 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 91] I have to say, London feels almost familiar? Despite the fact I've never been there. ...Considering burning down the orphanage like in Light Fingers' ambition, if I find it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 92] Not big on the whole mind control kidnapping plot stuff going on there.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:43 AM

well i got no idea about the stuff in fallen london, so all i can help with is ideas (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 93] Okay, so London has some Really Big Plots going on involving eldritch suns, space crabs, and magic space bats typically referred to as ambitions. I'll try and see if I can remember all the details and if not we can wiki dive for more information. (edited)

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:45 AM

also the wiki

wiat

you have us to abuse the wiki

muahahahaha

meta ftw (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 94] perfect. i have an advantage nobody else in the setting has: meta knowledge and friends

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:46 AM

by the power of friendship!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 95] by the power of friendship, i will traumatize some bats!

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:46 AM

kek

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 96] Anyways. I feel like my efforts would probably be best served by having a list of objectives overall and for each world I'm dealing with here.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 97] Google docs time again

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 07:47 AM

yee

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:50 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 98] i'm leaving this open to editing in case anyone has bright ideas https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VAtFFkeN4jh9jM3KiL_BOkt8YHSW0ZvAaCL9_aii54c/edit?usp=sharing

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 99] So on a hunch I tried to write in that book I got. Ink didn't even appear on the paper. Tried it with a pencil, not so much as an imprint on a page. I don't think any communication can happen through it.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 100] It may also be inviolate.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 101] So much for destroying it in case I started really flipping my shit, huh?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:02 AM

yeah

also generally not a good idea to sue fire on eldritch books

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:02 AM

It could be worse.

you could be in Control

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:03 AM

tends to lead to a sudden case of death

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:03 AM

Hiss are a memetic issue, after all

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 102] I could be in SCP. I'm not and I'm glad, but at the same time, Homestuck's upper levels started fucking with the narrative of the universe.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:03 AM

It got really meta in the sequel, im given to understand.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:04 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 103] God yeah. I dropped off it at that point, kind of regretting it.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 104] Gonna pray I don't have to deal with the Strilondes and the balls on balls of issues they have. Or Caliborn, for that matter.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:05 AM

who knows maybe you'll just be teen you in teen house

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:05 AM

doing teen things

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:05 AM

and homestuck is happening far away

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:06 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 105] It's still a pretty intimidating prospect in general. And I'm kind of an outsider to the setting, so I can't really get involved in SBurb properly.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:06 AM

annnyway still in London, right?

or Between Worlds Warehouse?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:08 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 106] Yep, just chilling on a lounge in that abandoned house. I checked if you can open the door from the other side of whatever door the key's in, by the way. You can't. I may or may not have slightly hurt my shoulder that way.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:08 AM

Well, if Fallen London wants you to be a Crime Boss

Best get to figuring out where the Crime is

so you can Boss it

Go Moriarty on that town

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 107] Oh, I know where the crime is. Spite, the Flit, other such places.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 108] I'm considering selling some of my meta-knowledge at the Bazaar so I can afford a house, though.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:09 AM

Do it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:10 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 109] I might sell enough to buy a house at the Bazaar. That'd be hilarious, some absolute nobody suddenly moving in amongst the Masters of the Bazaar.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:10 AM

lol

but remember, meta knowledge is only useful at the start

the more you change the less true it gets

events go first

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:11 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 110] Actually, Fallen London may be one of the few places where that isn't as true.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:11 AM

really?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 111] Yeah, you can leave a conversation for a bit, go sailing across the Unterzee, complete your ambition, blow up town hall, and come back to the tea still being warm.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 112] Time is Absolutely Fucked here.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:12 AM

NICE

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 113] My only issue is that I am going to have a fuck of a time making my way through the streets - London is a bit of an eldritch location.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 114] Oh well - at least the Bazaar is a very clear landmark, even if looking at it makes my eyes hurt a smidge.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 08:14 AM

I would say memetic alert, but, well, you're in fallen london. that is a given

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:14 AM

Maybe it's intent based?

Intend very hard to get to the Bazaar?

I have no clue

Esprit 25-Nov-20 08:15 AM

or its one of those accidentally-on-purpose things

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 115] That'll probably help. The Bazaar is supposed to be accessible from anywhere in London.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:16 AM

do the Crime Memories Help?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:16 AM

since eldritch, is it one of those things where you can take a sidestep with intent and be there?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 116] I already have like 5 people's wallets.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:16 AM

pick pocketing is best done in pairs

that way you have someone running distraction or look out

while the other does the lifting

so it's impressive you're doing it by yourself

like, dang

Don't ask me how I know this.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 117] I'm aware, I'm just sort of running on autopilot to a degree here and I'm still kind of surprised.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:18 AM

I have Approximate Knowledge of Many Things

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 118] I think I'm near Veilgarden, though - at least two of those people had been drunk.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:18 AM

check for cash, dump the wallet itself

unless your hands are doing that for you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:19 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 119] I'm gonna dump them in the river once I'm near it, the drownies can deal with them.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 120] I'm already at the bazaar what the fuck

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:19 AM

Space is a Suggestion

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:20 AM

and time is a social construct

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:20 AM

did you pick a name?

You need a Name for London

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 121] I do not like eldritch teleportation. And no I haven't picked a name yet

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 122] I might once I have a bit more time to figure out things, what sort of image I want to project and such.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 08:21 AM

you didn't teleport, you just took the step your eyes can't see

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:21 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 123] Thanks i hate it

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:21 AM

perhaps The Betweens Baron

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:21 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 124] I'm keeping as many details about myself on lockdown, starting with my identity. The first thing I'm buying is a mask.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:22 AM

or Jovial Janus

Im just spitballing here

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 125] The Esoteric Explorer, maybe. I might end up fitting the role eventually, if the book's any indication.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:23 AM

Dour Doorkeeper

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 126] Esoteric Explorer sounds like it might be best for my purposes, and handwaves away how I know what I know.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:25 AM

Well if you've made your choice people in London should know you by that name

so maybe ask them what your name is

just pick a random person

they should know, based on the perk text

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:26 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 127]

I think I'm gonna get a sneak-thief's mask, it's under 30 echoes (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 128] Covers most of my face pretty nicely, but still allows some expressions to bleed through. I'll have to find where to sell all these secrets in a bit, too

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 129] It'll run me about 800 echoes for the 80,000 hints I'll need to offer penstock, but thankfully the big secrets net you a lot of money - like 60-ish echoes

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:29 AM

Best of luck to you

remember, Barter

Nobody else has these

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 130] Thanks! I'm just kind of hoping I don't get my soul stolen

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 131] man what the fuck even is today

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:31 AM

Doesn't Matter

It's Fallen London

Could be Tomorrow or Yesterday in five minutes

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:32 AM

if you need questions answered, you got your meta friends waiting

we might not be able to help physically

but we got emotional support down pat

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 132] I vastly underestimated exactly how many echoes I would get for my meta knowledge. I feel like I won the lottery for this place overvaluing this stuff

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 133] I guess that's the difference between stuff that offers questions and stuff that offers answers to those questions

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:33 AM

yep

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 134] Apparently the things I know were worth around 300 echoes a pop

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:35 AM

wow

be carefull

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 135] YEAH

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:35 AM

about getting attention

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:35 AM

Is it because Mystery has more weight?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:35 AM

^^^

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:36 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 136] Maybe? I was assuming it could be searing enigmas since I was planning on releasing specific but harmless information on a few of the Masters, like how spices is pregnant and it's baby dreams of being a storm-bird

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 137] I need to learn the value of this info, but I shouldve figured stuff like that was pretty big tbh

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 138] Anyways, ended up selling like 3 master-related bits of info, now im gonna lose the mask and use my newfound wealth to buy enough secrets for the bazaar house

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 139] With a bit of luck and ordinary capitalistic greed, those secrets won't be leaving the people i sold them to, given how much they were ready to offer for each

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 140] I now own some of the best lodgings in Fallen London. The bed is definitely nicer than mine, at any rate.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 141] Considering whether or not this was a bad idea, though, in the off-chance that all this goes up.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 08:51 AM

Well you could always retreat to the warehouse

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 142] That's true, but I am very comfortable at this very second. I need to steal this bed at some point, replace mine.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 143] lol

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 09:01 AM

Just caught up on what's happening. I know nothing about Fallen London, but given the other two, it was definitely the best choice. The SBURB jump shouldn't have been as bad as canon Homestuck, since canon Homestuck is an end jump option, but SBURB still ain't nice. While all your perks would've been great on Among Us, it's still pretty damn dangerous.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:02 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 144] Yeah, the main problem with SBURB is that I have no friends in that universe. Might look like my house, but I don't live there.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 145] Same issue with Among us. I'm an outsider wherever I end up, but in Fallen London an outsider can still thrive well.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:04 AM

It could be a Benefit

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 146] It certainly could! But SBURB is multiplayer and Among Us is an exercise in destroying trust.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 147] So probably not useful quite yet

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:07 AM

best go there when you've firmly established yourself as "Me? A Crime Lord, heavens no, I'm just an Eccentric Corinthian"

a Corinthian is someone who sails their own ship without a skipper.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:08 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 148] Yeah, either that or when I have weapons to defend myself. Good ones, not a shitty baseball bat.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:09 AM

they have Guns in London?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:09 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 149] They have guns in London.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:10 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 150] Honestly, I'm considering the pros and cons of an irrigo sword. Pros, makes people forget things, cons, I haven't got a clue how to defend against the stuff.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 151] My skills from Smooth Sylladex also probably lend themselves to bladed weapons the best. A gunsword would be cool tho...

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:11 AM

You could use the Alchemy thing to combine them right?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:11 AM

gunsword probably needs a dedicated boon to really be practical

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:11 AM

Make a new card?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:11 AM

right! alchemy could do it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 152] I could, if I could get my sylladex out from under the big old alchemiter.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:12 AM

find and get a Jack

if they've guns they've Jack-Lifts

Stuff for moving Heavy Equipment

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 153] Don't have one at home, doubt they have jack-lifts since horse-drawn carriages are currently in style but I can check, hm... Could maybe steal one from SBURB-verse but I don't want to risk getting caught in the meteor storm.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:14 AM

Fallen London is at least Industrial Era, yeah?

it was invented in 1905

so you have a good shot

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:14 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 154] It's like, just breaking into it. There are big factories in the Iron Republic, but they're for breaking rules of nature. Also it's late 1800s here.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:15 AM

It's an adaption of an older thing called a Screw Jack

which is just a big Threaded Screw on a crank

you could maybe order one from some Blacksmith

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/House_Jack_2.5_tons.jpg/170px-House_Jack_2.5_tons.jpg

this was used in replacing Carriage Wheels

sell the idea, make some money

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 155] I'm currently just wondering if it can lift the big flat platform on the ground, what with how it looks. Might take a little tinkering to get it to do that, but I can work on something simple for that, maybe...

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 156] Oh, yeah, good point.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:17 AM

Screw Jacks are rated to move the foundations of houses

so, polly

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 157] Oh wow, I didn't think people could move those. (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 158] Learn something new every day.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:18 AM

You've got to repair cracks and breaks in them somehow

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 159] Fair point. (edited)

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:19 AM

It basically acts as a temp foundation while you work on the real one

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:20 AM

yeah. if memory serves, when setting up the first proper sewer systems in america

they needed to lift up entire city blocks with a small army of screw jacks

I wish I could shake the hand of whoever figured out how to make that work

would've been a mammoth underaking

lemme see if I can pull up a ref

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 160] Yeah, I'm gonna try and get one of those, figure out how to use it and such. I'm already in the Bazaar, so it shouldn't take forever.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:21 AM

Intend to find it and you likely will

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:22 AM

ok. looks like the sewer wasn't high enough above the drain outlet so Chicago's sewers weren't really doing anything so they just sort of lifted the entire city piece by piece https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_of_Chicago

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 161] I'm also gonna get a few other things while I'm here. Thats fucking nuts though

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:24 AM

While you're their, keep a look out for other pickpockets

might as well start networking

and pickpockets see a lot of stuff

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:26 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 162]

In other news, the book moved from where I last put it. I'm not sure where it is and I'm like 90% sure it's doing this to give me anxiety.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:26 AM

it might have moved back to the warehouse?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:26 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 163] Probably, but I'm going to be mad at it anyways.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:27 AM

You can always check through any door

right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 164] Heading back right now, actually.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:27 AM

You could call the book Nomica after the Necronomican. Then Nomica would be the source of all your problems. Just Nomica /s

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:28 AM

you weeb

that's a wonderful idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 165] Got the jack, got a nice rifle, got an antique sword. that joke brings me pain, but it already has a name

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 166] The Forged Esoterica. I also realized a problem I have: No grist. (edited)

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:29 AM

looks like Jacks have existed in some form or another since at least mid-1600

oh dang

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:29 AM

I think you can... disassemble things into grist?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:29 AM

you ain't using those wallets right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 167] They're gone already.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:30 AM

What about stuff in the house you don't need?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 168] As for disassembly, I'm gonna look around and see if I can disassemble stuff for grist, see if I can find any programs that let me do that, etc.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 169] Also probably gonna make myself something to eat, I missed lunch.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:31 AM

nom!

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 09:34 AM

In addition, with completion of the jump, you receive a care package containing a special Gristwidget 12000, which can recycle Captchalogue Cards and their contents back into Grist for a scaling amount of money, which can be any currency instead of only Boondollars. As well as a disk labelled Sburb: Warehouse DLC, which when installed on any computer will allow you to manipulate the interior of the Warehouse, as your Server Player would be able to manipulate your house while playing Sburb. This includes the ability to move things around for the price of some of your Grist, the ability to build walls and such, and perhaps most importantly, the ability to recycle objects into Grist to be used for other purposes. What it doesn't include through, is scrolling out to look at the outside of it, or enlarging it by adding extra rooms.

Do you count as pre-SBURB-jump or post-jump?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 170] Okay im back with food, and i can now confirm that the food restocks, some was waiting out for me when I got back which is definitely a sign of some fuckery

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:37 AM

yooo recycle some of that food for Grist!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 171] As for that, I have no idea. It's a disk, so it could be tucked away somewhere hard to find, like some of my other stuff was.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:38 AM

if its infinite you have no worries

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:38 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 172] I get the feeling that if I started exploiting it I'd start running out fast ._.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 174] We had a lot of CDs

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:39 AM

wonder if there's a way to rephrase that as routine maintenance

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:39 AM

listen it lets you fuck with reality its worth it.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 09:40 AM

This is what the Gristwidget looks like in Homestuck. I assume yours won't be Betty Crocker branded.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 175] It lets me fuck with reality on a budget, a budget I can work on once I'm tackling SBURB itself, which is on the checklist

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 176] It may not be crocker branded but it could be condesce branded

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 09:40 AM

Aren't they the same person?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:40 AM

I'd check your PC first

for the disc

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 177] In the process of turning it on. its kind of old, still runs windows 7

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 09:41 AM

because if I was a fucky entity, that's what I'd do

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:42 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 178] I'm mostly worried it's stuffed in the attic's storage room, cause itd take me days to go through everything in there

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 179] Actually, wait, that seems like something tasks could help me with

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:42 AM

yeah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 180] It seems like a sufficiently big problem to proc it, so brb while I find out

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 181] got the thing, it's a cd with a house on it, so thankfully its obvious

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 182] gristwidget is not condesce-brand, its skaianet brand

Esprit 25-Nov-20 09:44 AM

did the task work?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 09:44 AM

Does it look like the normal green SBURB logo with four squares, or is it different?

Also nice

Spirographs are cool

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 183] very effectively, yes, i spent like 5 seconds searching. as for the logo, it looks like the house but not split up into discrete pieces

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 184] I think the best thing to do is delete my trash and then start buying things to sell from the bazaar, since I can't replicate anything in here without alchemy. I like my house the way it is, for the most part

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 185] found the book again, apparently it updated, give me a moment

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 09:47 AM

Ooh, an update?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 09:55 AM

Good

And there's nothing stopping you from using a video game soundtrack as your stand name, there's plenty of stands who's song names were used in movies as well

"With the power of my stand, Megalovania,"

I mean, The Stand is also the name of a song iirc

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 09:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 198] It is, yeah, i based it on a fan stand from a jjba part 4 fangame (edited)

from the album Shantae and the Pirate's Curse OST

here's the song

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:08 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 212] heres another couple ideas: [Stormspirit] and [Umbral Ultimatum]

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:09 AM

no wait

[Customer Rewards]

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:09 AM

so i went to eat lunch and came back to stand names

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:09 AM

it's the shop theme

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:10 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 213] i got a worm-based stand

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:10 AM

[The Stand], [Sound of Silence], [Ascii Image of Bowsette], [Valhalla], [Sburban Jungle], [Biophosphoradelecrystalluminescence], [Stormspirit], [Umbral Ultimatum]

I think those are all the ones you liked/suggested

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:10 AM

just call it [Gold Morning] and taunt murphy for all you're worth

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:10 AM

Ha!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:10 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 214] seems like it! and i got one more: [Price of Oblivion]

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:11 AM

Ooh

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:11 AM

I like that. it is very Taylor

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:11 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 215] i would call it [Gold Mourning] but it isnt nearly gold enough for that

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 216] oof, not sure whether or not thats a compliment or an insult lmao

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:12 AM

I mean, you got it from Worm, so if you quickly zip in to grab a Bad Canary album and book it, you could use songs from that.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:12 AM

so worm is best when you have power enough to stomp

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:12 AM

Yeah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 217] i could... but id imagine those are expensive, given canary was a popular musician

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:13 AM

See if there's stuff you can kill in Fallen London first

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:13 AM

also do you know when the door opens in worm?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:13 AM

^

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:13 AM

also, you gonna have to kill things with it.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 218] Not sure xan And yeah, I am slightly considering going on a murder spree in fallen london, though I am kind of held back by the fact that the thought of killing people freaks me the fuck out even if they'll get better

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:14 AM

well the crime lord memeories should help (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:14 AM

Oh okay, so people resurrect in Fallen London. That's good.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:14 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 219] FL is the best place to do it if im gonna at all, i just gotta make sure the deaths arent messy

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:14 AM

murder was probably a crime commited

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:14 AM

If it helps, you could always pay them for their time?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:14 AM

true

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:14 AM

don't think of it as you killing people it's [Sound Of Silence] killing them

:V

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:15 AM

Does your stand come with any weapons, or just bare hands?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 220] people generally still don't like being stuck on the boat anyways, but i could pull some siberian bullshit and pop out of nowhere to kill em

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:15 AM

that sounds like a bad way to disassociate, as in mentally unhealthy-er than necessary

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 221] no weapons or anything unless i have them, it seems to generally copy things im holding?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:15 AM

Are there any monsters you can kill?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:15 AM

im not being serous about that suggestion

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 222] tons but they're ship-sized

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:15 AM

Fuck

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 223] Actually, wait. I could kill some monsters in the Labyrinth of Tigers, if I'm careful

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:16 AM

well, any fucking horrible people in London?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:16 AM

I guess you could try kill some imposters in Among Us?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:16 AM

can your phantom go through people? could you crush hearts for easy, quick and clean kills?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:16 AM

Shapeshifting would be Useful for the Stand yes

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 224] And Parabola, come to think of it. They had fingerkings there

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:16 AM

not sure you want to risk imposters in Among Us. We don't exactly have a frame of reference for how dangerous they are

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:17 AM

but would shape shifting affect you and not your stand

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 225] I'm treating imposters like The Thing from the titular movie

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:18 AM

yeah fallen London seems to be the best place to get some upgrades. keep in mind, combat will come to you eventually. making it so that it is not your first time in such a scenario can help

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:18 AM

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:18 AM

the first kill/fight is always the hardest

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:19 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 226] Yeah, I'm gonna stick with the actual horribly mutated animals

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:19 AM

time to go [Hello Darkness] on some real monsters

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:19 AM

Yeah, good idea.

Also, some stands are named after lyrics too, not just songs/albums/bands/instruments

So [Hello Darkness] is also a valid name

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:21 AM

[Naked Light] if you wanna get weirder

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:22 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 227] It isn't naked and I'm tryina keep it marketable in worm lol

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 228] [Price of Oblivion] works if i sell it with an anti-hero edge, like im going after all s-class threats with kill orders

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:22 AM

So no [I'm Sexy and I Know It]

That's Joe's (future) stand anyway.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:22 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 229] That's what I would name the siberian projection

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:23 AM

i like [Hello Darkness]

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:23 AM

lol

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 230] im going straight to hell arent i

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:23 AM

wait, so is [Then Comes Light] off the table

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:23 AM

I like [Then Comes Light]

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 231] if i ever get an actual, non-shard based stand, it may be called that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:23 AM

Nice

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 232] its one of several options probably

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:25 AM

its whole thing is that it gets powers from killing things

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:25 AM

well, if you're planning on that...

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:25 AM

so im trying to think of a song that fits

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:25 AM

you could nod to how you're constantly charging into the dangerous unknown

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:25 AM

im still digging [Sound Of Silence]

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 233] I already have a name I'm going with for the thing, for the moment at least: [Price of Oblivion] im also trying to stick with a homestuck theme so that narrows it down a little lol

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:25 AM

and call it [Into The Dark], another stellaris song

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:25 AM

Yeah, [Price of Oblivion] slaps (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:26 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 234] [Sound of Silence] is definitely a strong contender

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:26 AM

[Price of Oblivion] works

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:26 AM

but, yeah. on its own, price of oblivion is very apropo for worm

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 235] While I make my way to the labyrinth of tigers, im gonna try to find something on google images that looks like it to give you a better understanding of what im working with here

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:27 AM

heh [Making My Way Downtown]

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 236] ifiahfoahehfoieh

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:29 AM

I mean, since you're a kind of traveller, it fits

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 237] it does

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:32 AM

what does your Stand look like btw?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:32 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 238] okay so im having a hard time finding a good image but just imagine a guy made of fog

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 239] it kind of varies how bright it is depending on how the light hits it but when moving it gets really easy to see the actual human-shape inside of it (looks like its wearing something made of cloth thats about as wispy as the actual mist) but when standing still details are hard to make out

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:34 AM

So a cloaked figure made of mist

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 240] i think the eyes may glow? but its really hard to tell if thats an effect from the way the lights hitting the mist or not

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 241] when moving it looks more like theyre made of really thin sheets of glass with mist inside, the bits that arent covered

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:36 AM

if it had one eye i'd call it [Odin] :v

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:36 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 242] its kind of interesting to watch tbh, reminds me a little of like, a snow globe or a lava lamp

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:36 AM

can you layer it ontop of yourself

it is peak human abilites

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:36 AM

does it hug is what we're asking

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:36 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 243] dont seem to be able to make it clip inside of anything, including myself, but it can hug me

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:37 AM

:D

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:37 AM

emotional support is important

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:37 AM

Hugs on demand, truly the best superpower

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 244] not doing that again because its kind of cold here and it doesnt help with that at all

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 10:37 AM

dang. was wondering, when you get defensive powers on it if you could of layered it over you to provide yourself defense

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:37 AM

its basically a teddy bear

but its helpful nonetheless

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:38 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 245] the question is why i would fight near it at all - im not making the same mistake taylor did and standing nearby

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 246] i can control it while im doing other things just fine, so i can pretend to be a civilian while [Price of Oblivion] shoves a fist into lung's guts

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:39 AM

i wonder if you can proc the Task thing through it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 247] probably

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:40 AM

Yeah, fighting from a range is a good idea (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 248] it feels that way anyways

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:40 AM

is "Find And Kill A Bunch of Rat Monsters" a Task

or whatever is in London

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 249] does not seem to be, and its mostly horrifically crossbred animals im killing, which ive already started

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:41 AM

not fun Last Airbender animals eh?

more...The Thing? (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:42 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 250] yeah, i found a squid dog and im just never coming back from that

yum kalimari :v

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 251] on the plus side, i can feel the changes settling in on [Price of Oblivion] - sharper teeth and claws, plus collapsible wings at the very least at this stage, and some ridiculous flexibility

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:43 AM

Ooh, claws, that's good.

And wings too.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:43 AM

aw no tentacles?

more hugs with tentacles

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 252] this place has giant spiders i am murdering them all

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 253] not even remotely comfy about that (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:44 AM

Think [Price of Oblivion] will be able to spin silk after that?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:44 AM

[Oblivion Silk] could sell well

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:45 AM

It's fantasy spiders, so the silk might end up being weak to fire instead of resistant

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 254] maybe?? i dont really know, but it could be projections which dont last

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:45 AM

True

Even temporary silk could be good

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 255] good garrotte wire stuff there

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:45 AM

if only you had a door to the Jackie Chan Adventures world

Mid 2000's

good food

most of the magic is far away from people

and a secret agency to take over

a book that controls reality

good stuff

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 256] so theres a lot of really weird animals hidden in really strange spots in here, im finding. like, parabolan dream-animals

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:49 AM

[Obliviate] them

nom nom

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:49 AM

Well, hopefully weird animals mean unpredictable adaptations to surprise enemies with.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:50 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 257] i think my shard is trying to figure out what to do about them because im getting a headache - either that or they just do that to me naturally lmao

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:51 AM

I mean, you got the post-jump stuff for Sburb, so chances are you have a post-jump Thanatos, which removes the shard part.

Unless you companioned it somehow?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:52 AM

some kind of Master effect?

seeing as they can enter dreams

What did you get from the phoenix?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:54 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 261] i can now set my projection on fire, and its probably resistant to heat

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:55 AM

Nice

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 262] got a distortion effect from another parabolan bird, so [Price of Oblivion] can fuck up a person's sense of space a little involving them

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:57 AM

Ooh nice

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:57 AM

thats a [Stand] Power all by itself

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:57 AM

you will be the definitive master/stranger

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 10:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 263] it isn't an extremely powerful one, just makes it harder to look at it without your eyes leaving it at some point

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:59 AM

well, yeah. but you have barely started nomming non-euclidian creatures

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 10:59 AM

That's Perfect

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 10:59 AM

Does it toggle?

Esprit 25-Nov-20 10:59 AM

its perfect for a first parabolan effect

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 264] toggle is difficult, it actually took a hot minute or two

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 11:01 AM

I think it likes not being paid attention to

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:01 AM

But at least it toggles, which is good for PR

Esprit 25-Nov-20 11:01 AM

given you seem to count as post-jump, it might get easier over time

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 267] yeah this is a zoo, there are people here

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 268] theres also some police here which is a little concerning, but theyre probably there to help mr hearts not get got while it experiments with crossbreeding

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 11:03 AM

dang you could have been called the Shadow Man

maybe for worm :v

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:03 AM

Oh right, I was confused for a moment before I remembered that stuff resurrected.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:04 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 269] i don't know if everything does, it is possible to die permanently in fallen london technically speaking

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:04 AM

Right

Can they come back if there's no corpse? If so, maybe you can capchalogue the corpses to recycle into grist

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 270] they can't come back if theres no corpse. hell, pureeing the bodies stops it too

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 271] the body needs to not only be present, but relatively intact

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 272] people that die too often and end up in severely rough shape get bandaged up like mummies and shipped off to the tomb colonies up north

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:06 AM

Right

oh you can always eat the cops

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:13 AM

The stranger effect in particular would be great in a world with a lot of guns.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 11:13 AM

fuck the police

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 278] prolly give em a wild goose chase while pretending to get scared off by lunatic monster-man ripping through cops

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:14 AM

If the cops get too antsy, they might give chase next time you show up.

Which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you see it.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 279] they shouldn't know it's me, stuff like this doesnt exist in london

Well, [Price of Oblivion], not you

"You"

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:15 AM

Yeah

[Price of Oblivion] is a Worm projection, so it just pops if it dies, right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 281] i haven't tested it, but it seems to pop if i desummon it, so i'll assume so

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 282] oh you know what'd have been a good name for it too? [Gust of Heir], assuming im an heir in sburb

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 283] especially since its made of fog and such

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 284] and im out, i think i broke one of the cops necks while i was running, ill have to go over what all i got in a bit once im back in the warehouse

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:28 AM

Heir means something like "protected by x", doesn't it? I'll look it up.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 285] becomes x, i think

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 286] no canonical citing but

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:32 AM

"It is speculated that heirs are ones who invite change through [aspect]; they are apparently drawn to their aspect, subconsciously seeking it. They may also be defined as one who is consumed by [aspect], one who becomes their [aspect], or one who is surrounded by [aspect]." - MSPA wiki

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 287] a little iffy on that change analysis, given breath is about change, but it sound solid enough that ill accept it on the whole

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:33 AM

True

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 288] back home now, so ill take a second to list out what all i got, probably tack it onto the google doc

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:35 AM

Nice

Should you keep a personal list of alchemy combinations and codes?

Some codes were revealled in the webcomic too, so maybe we can hunt down a list of those.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 289] i dont think i need to keep a list of codes, if i just keep the totems and add marker to note what they are

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 11:41 AM

spider man with wings got it

least for the great ass bit

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:41 AM

Makes "getting some booty" a bit literal, don't it?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 292] shitty spider man with wings lol (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 293] im gonna need to kill a fuckton of spiders to actually get web production id imagine

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:42 AM

Goals for the future, I guess

Do the webs stick around?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 294] it may also be able to produce poison but i didnt notice it when poking it in the mouth so either its stupidly weak in that regard or something else webs do not stick around very far from it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 295] not even sure if sorrow spiders are poisonous tbh...

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:43 AM

I guess that's something you'd need to grind, then.

I wonder how new doors show up?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:44 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 296] thus far it seems when i get a power connected to a new universe it does, but for all i know that's just how it works

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:45 AM

Yeah

Don't suppose you have a timeframe for when the doors showed up?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:45 AM

Maybe after doing things in a new universe?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:45 AM

Could be

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:45 AM

Fallen London is the only one you went to right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 297] i poked my head in sburb but other than that yeah

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:46 AM

What was in Sburb? Just a room?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 298] my grandma's old house, but cleaner

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:46 AM

Ah right

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:46 AM

So if you are mostly done with london move to sburb

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:47 AM

You might want friends first.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:47 AM

From where?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:47 AM

Worm?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:47 AM

Hold off on worm untill you got a decent combat utility

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:47 AM

Doing Sburb by yourself is incredibly difficult, I do NOT reccomend it.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:48 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 299] worm friends would be helpful in sburb. also doing sburb solo summons a black hole, which i cannot survive

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:48 AM

Which leaves Among Us, which is a wildcard, or waiting for a new door.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:48 AM

So among us. Your projection might cover the ship

Making investigation easy

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 11:48 AM

Just keep [Oblivion] as your watchdog

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:48 AM

Like how the imps gonna kill it?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:48 AM

Can you summon [Price of Oblivion] to yourself?

Or send it into the ship while you stay inside?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 300] true, but it can only be in one place at once, even if i can spam summon-desummon it. might also be in polus or something. and yes i can, i have basically no delay between summoning and unsummoning, though i cant check if that extends to when it's popped

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:49 AM

Maybe send [PoO] to lurk in the medbay or smth. (edited)

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:50 AM

Use cams while it guards you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:50 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 301] honestly im just gonna send it through the door on its own if anything

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:50 AM

Even better

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:50 AM

Probably for the best, since imposters have guns

Can you even communicate with the beans?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 302] i'll assume yes until the answer changes to no. im also gonna assume people can talk while tasking

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:51 AM

They use their tablets to talk, which you don't have.

Though that's just gameplay

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:51 AM

Do you have a space suit tho

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:52 AM

So I guess it's 1) Whether you share a language with them and 2) Whether or not their space suits insulate against sound.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 11:52 AM

they are canonically 3 feet tall

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:52 AM

Babies

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 303] time to see if my projection can deal with the vacuum of space

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:52 AM

Also alien world can you survive? Honestly using your projection to interact through the door is a good idea

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:52 AM

Yeah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:54 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 304] okay, learned something important - trying to use my projection through the door makes things feel heavy as hell for some reason, its kind of unpleasant but i can deal

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 305] from the projection-senses i mean

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 11:55 AM

don't push it, you're kind of cheating :v

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 306] thats a good point, heres hoping shard buddy doesnt give me an aneurism

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 11:56 AM

If it gets to much or you feel a sense of doom approaching, stop and consult your local doctor

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:56 AM

What if you keep the door open and shut it at the first sign of trouble?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 307] i can still instantly pop the projection thankfully, but ill have to try that - this may be an arbitrary limitation put in or something, or i may need my head to be on the other side of the door for no shard interference

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:57 AM

True, just keep your pollentia/gemma where the Projection can see it.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 308] i am bringing the rifle i brought if im going in there lol, even if im just gonna be standing by the door

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 309] oh, fun fact, seems like this door's key is a keycard

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 11:58 AM

Huh, that's cool

Hope you can swipe it at the right speed

And keeping the rifle on you is a good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 11:59 AM

Huh

Could be

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:00 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 311] i have learned something about my projection: the wings dont let it fly yet - might let it glide but they dont seem to have the strength

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:00 PM

Good to know

I guess keep us posted if anything happens. Like how the beans react to a giant mist monster showing up.

Esprit 25-Nov-20 12:01 PM

they might think its cosmetic if you hang around nearby and look sorta like a spaceperson

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 312] coolio. ill prolly just keep standing near this door and let my projection take care of it. im not entirely sure where i am, but it definitely seems like a ship of some sort update: found a window and i am in atmosphere atm

Esprit 25-Nov-20 12:02 PM

volcano map?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:02 PM

It the airbase

Or*

Esprit 25-Nov-20 12:03 PM

might be a new map

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:03 PM

Esprit 25-Nov-20 12:03 PM

hey, can you use task through your projection to fix stuffz?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:03 PM

Or mirai

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:03 PM

Mira HQ is the name of the volcano one iirc

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:03 PM

Oh ye the new map

The airship

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:03 PM

Skeld is the ship, Polus is the ice place

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:04 PM

Polus is the volcano

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:04 PM

Because the volcano and the ice place are the same place, aren't they

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:04 PM

Will your cruxtruder come with a sprite?

Have you opened it yet? (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:15 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 330] ice cream, youtube, and an eye on the book just in case first i havent seen a sprite and it is open also 111111 is the code for a card in a card i think

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:16 PM

Okay, so probably no sprite until you actually get it in Sburb, then. No bringing people back to life with it yet.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 331] im distinctly concerned about the fact among us leads to a henry stickmin universe tho, from what i could tell

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:17 PM

I guess you could do a price comparison? 00000000 vs 11111111 to see which is better value for grist.

Maybe it's a shared universe.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:17 PM

How bad is the sburb universe?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 333] sburb is conceptually dangerous

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:18 PM

Ah

Yikes

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:18 PM

Canon Homestuck is very very bad, but it's hopefully not Canon Homestuck, since that's an end jump

There's an immortal god of time who's very, very sociopathic.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:18 PM

Oh

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:18 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 334] sburb is conceptually dangerous due to the fact universe-altering powers are thrown around to teenagers with serious issues like candy and they can affect the narrative of the story theyre in

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:19 PM

Yeah, the epilogues and Homestuck 2 get even worse. I've only read the Meat epilogue so far, though.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 335] its like if everyone in worm got op powers and it was only half-cracky

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:20 PM

Since the perk was from the Sburb jump, you should get your own seperate session, but you'll need other people for that.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:20 PM

So try to get some defensive powers in london cause there is not much you can do to the wormverse and the weird time In london works to your benefit

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:20 PM

^

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:20 PM

Like how much have you got done today alone?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 336] ill try and see if i can find some things along those lines, but as for what i did today, uh... got a house, got some money, powered up my projection, figured out a lot of things

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:22 PM

Yeah the amount of time it should of taken to move around that much

Like a city is kinda big

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:22 PM

Are the fruit from the Fallen London jump self-replenishing? If so, that's a good source of Grist.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:22 PM

And it sounds like you were wandering all over

Oh ye the fruit

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:23 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 337] youd think that, but it took remarkably little time for me to wander around. as for the fruit, i think so? it feels that way, at least

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:23 PM

If you get enough grist, you could probably alchemise some armour. You'd be limited to the types of grist the fruit give, though.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:24 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 338] good point - if nothing else i could make Perfectly Generic Armor. ill write that down

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:24 PM

Can you alchemise money?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:24 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 339] maybe? another thing to try

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:24 PM

That's a good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:25 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 340] that one seems like itd require something involving money for grist, like uh. gold grist or something

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:25 PM

I don't think you can alchemise boondollars, but they're nigh-useless anyway iirc.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:25 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 341] yeah you have to do stonks for those

Esprit 25-Nov-20 12:26 PM

you might be able to get pointlessness grist or something, though

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:26 PM

Would help in worm. It seems like you are gonna have to head into worm to get more powerups, since it seems like among us is out. Problem is, the only powerups would come from parahumans, and. You would need to kill them.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 12:27 PM

kill goblin king???

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:27 PM

Like the s9 might be manton might give a flat upgrade

Dunno how you would get crawler tho

And bonesaw.....

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:27 PM

Maybe you can fess up everything you know to the Protectorate? Or skip straight up the ladder to Cauldron? Could be a bad idea.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:27 PM

Yeah cauldron is bad idea

They don't like things that interfere with the parh

Path*

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:28 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 342] honestly id think manton would give me something like telefragging tricks. admitting everything i know to the protectorate seems like something thatd get me black-bagged by cauldron regardless though, and dumped in a ditch somewhere

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:28 PM

And you basically got perfect blank (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:29 PM

Shame you don't know how new worlds are unlocked yet, you seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:29 PM

Like who in worm would you be comfortable with killing?

For power

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:29 PM

Merchants if you arrive in Brockton?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:30 PM

What time though

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 343] yknow, i kind of want to take a break from the murder-death-bang-bang train of thought at the moment

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:30 PM

Like that is also a big thing

What would you do in worm?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:30 PM

Yeah, you should definitely be looking after your mental health too.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:31 PM

How could you have GM happen with less death (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:31 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 344] honestly i think id just offer the undersiders and glory girl+amy a way out

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:31 PM

GM is ages out. I'd say that's a problem for later.

That could work

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:31 PM

Eh true

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:32 PM

It would take some time to get to know them and get some trust, though.

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:32 PM

And do you want to even tangentially work for coil?

Honestly using meta knowledge to fuck coil and coil alone would be a good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:33 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 345] this could be fatigue or me being kind of shaken up talking but honestly, assuming i dont botch it horribly, i could introduce myself, try and gain some trust, maybe sit in on some of the stuff glory girl does coil for the most part holds up his deals in the 'real' timeline, so possibly, but i would want a whole host of protections before i end up on the same continent as him

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:34 PM

So no worm yet

Cause BB is probably where you are dropping

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:34 PM

Yeah

How long since you last slept?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 346] like 8-ish hours

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:35 PM

So after you sleep, you should probably step in to the among us world physically for like a minute

That might be enough to get a new world

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:35 PM

That's a thought

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:35 PM

If new worlds are based on how many you visit

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:35 PM

Spend a bit in each world

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:35 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 347] i was in there for a few minutes before i got shot, but thats a decent thought

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:36 PM

Your stand was

But were you physically in there (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 348] yeah, to help with the difficulties i was having

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:36 PM

Ah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:37 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 349] still kind of jittery from that tbh, for a second i thought id actually been shot..

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:37 PM

Sorry about that man

At least you didn't get shot

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:38 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 350] youre good, i just got caught off guard

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 12:38 PM

But is there lasting damage to the stand?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:38 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 351] power isnt responding to me trying to resummon it atm, so it could be that if its violently popped i gotta wait

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:39 PM

Oh dear

Well, it'll come back eventually.

Maybe you could start grinding up some fruit for grist?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:40 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 352] good point, i could also snack on them while i do it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 353] and i can do it from my bed so thats something

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:42 PM

I wonder if you could make any good fruit recipes?

Like a cobbler or a crumble or something

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:43 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 354] maybe. i dont know how to cook tbh

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:43 PM

Or just chucking a few apples in the oven for a bit

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:44 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 355] actually would tasks help with that? lol

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:44 PM

That's a good point

There's a task for making and developing samples iirc?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:44 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 356] insanely versatile, yet weirdly limited sometimes

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:44 PM

And cooking is just edible chemistry, so it should work

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 357] projection is finally back, ill make it do it, double testing

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:45 PM

Nice! Multitasking!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:46 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 358] im gonna see if i can find anything good on youtube while im down here

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 359] ...i am in the second story of my house why did i say down here

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:46 PM

Lol

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:47 PM

Damn straight.

Apple Crumble is an easy recipe, you just cut some apples into cubes, mix maybe a half cup each rolled oats flour and butter plus a quarter cup of sugar, then top the apples with the oats and bake for a while.

Add some cinnamon and mixed spice too for extra flavour.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 361] noted. i wonder if tasks will add any ingredients im missing... anyways, book updated, so theres that

!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:51 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 362] this one seems kind of weird but not gamebreaking (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:51 PM

Psychonauts, interesting.

I don't know enough about it to say anything, but it should be a safer place than... Well, everywhere else.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:53 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 363] kind of relieved that it wasnt godlike power or anything like that. im kind of adverse to phenominal cosmic power, i have enough stress as is lol

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 364] cant see any doors from the kitchen appearing, but it could just be delayed

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:54 PM

Yeah, good to wait a bit.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 12:55 PM

A loom anywhere?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 365] havent seen one, but i havent checked either

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 366] oop, theres the door

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:56 PM

Nice

What's the time for you?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:56 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 367] like, around 7-ish

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 368] phone time has had a question mark by it since i went into fallen london lol

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 12:58 PM

Lol

Maybe it's from using your perks? Idk

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 12:59 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 369] time is funky in fallen london, sooo

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 370] yknow i realized i never actually introduced myself properly. yall can call me robin

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:00 PM

Nice to meet you, Robin.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:00 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 371] nice to meet you too, hope i can get back to the same planet lol

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:01 PM

I guess if you to start stealing things with your sylladex, you'll be Robin people

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 372] ive experienced enough pain for one day lmao

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:02 PM

Yeah definitely. You should defo take it easy for the rest of the day.

Build up grist and stuff. You don't have to do everything immediately.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 373] yeah, thats the plan. im getting plant grist from the fruit

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 374] tasks works through the projection and i have an apple crumble

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:04 PM

Nice!

Did the perk activate?

Actually, can you "cook" with alchemy?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 375] yeah, i could kind of feel it. as for cooking with alchemy, havent tried it yet, not sure i want to risk making a horrible abomination of oven and fruit just in case

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:05 PM

Yeah, that's fair.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:06 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 376] honestly i know it probably wouldnt do something like that, but at the same time i did just get this grist, i wanna save it for something thatll really pay out in the long run

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:06 PM

Yeah, that's true (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:08 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 377] so im once again getting cuddles from my own projection and ive learned something. in some parts its furry

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 378] also, i now have massages on demand which is absolutely divine

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:09 PM

The most OP power. Massages.

Also I can't believe your stand is a furry now. For shame.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 379] yknow what, i dont even give a fuck. its warmer now and its giving me a half decent massage, i feel good

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 380] ill embrace the furry, why not

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:10 PM

Yeah, it's good to have at least some non-hostile contact.

And fur just means it's better to pet.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 381] yeeee

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:11 PM

You have a weird pet mist-monster.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 382] weird anthro pet mist-monster, thats important to note

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 383] important because it makes it weirder

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:12 PM

I mean, people keep monkeys as pets, why not a furry winged mist monster man?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:12 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 384] yeah exactly

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:13 PM

So the new stuff seems all about psychic stuff

And you apparently have training now

The duster seems usefull

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 385] i think the weirdest thing is i can feel everything it does in like, perfect clarity. im not sure that other masters get that kind of feedback yeah, i can kind of notice, but it also relies on stuff i generally dont have access to yet

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 386] i think some of the mental training is helping with the whole worm power thing? its hard to describe, but using the projection feels moderately easier now

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:17 PM

That makes sense, projections are basically astral projections.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 387] id imagine psychic space whale powers have something to do with it lol

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:17 PM

Also better anti-master

And you can apparently enter peoples mind now

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:18 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 388] i need the right tools for it, which i dont have

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:18 PM

Yeah, I was wondering.

You could probably find some through the door.

Is Psychonauts very dangerous?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:19 PM

Dunno

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 389] its kind of dangerous? theres some jackass who is outright stealing peoples brains to take over the world

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 390] i dont need to explain why losing my brain would be bad, especially if it got shoved in a psychic death tank

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:20 PM

How quickly would you run into them?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:20 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 391] idk, its been a long time since i played psychonauts

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 392] like halfway through the story, but they got minions

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 393] one of which is there from the start

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:21 PM

Well at least it should not be so dangerous as to explore for a bit like the other two are. I am thinking the criteria for new worlds is to explore one you have yet to visit.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 394] it may just be tied to when i get new powers

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:21 PM

So if you explore a bit, maybe grab a souvenir or two

And new powers might come from exploration

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:22 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 395] so far ive gotten all my new powers while in the warehouse

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 396] admittedly it was when the book was accessible which may have something to do with it, but still

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 397] either way, ill check it out for a couple minutes ig

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:23 PM

Yeah but it was a bit after you entered a new world for the first time. Also that may be a safety feature

To keep a new power from overwhelming tou

Like each new world adds to a count and you get new powers and worlds based on that count whenever you return near the book?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:26 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 398] thats possible, i can see how taht could work

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 399] in other news, psychonaut door looks like a dinky old wooden door, lotta gaps i can see through and it leads into this wood cabin looking area with some weird machine in it. no key

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 400] i think this is the psychic loom? in which case we've all been fucked with

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:28 PM

Huh

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:29 PM

So the loom is in the psychonauts world? Or is it just in a psychonauts room with no actual world attached?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 401] psychonauts room from what i can tell, i tried to summon my projection past the wall and its just infinite ocean, which fits with the warehouse being a sort of blank slate area

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 402] im making blackout curtains the lights in the warehouse arent dimming

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 403] or trying at least

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:37 PM

Huh

Shame you didn't get any better equipment, but at least the freebies were good.

Maybe your perk wasn't strong enough to make an actual world?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:39 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 404] yeah, agreed. that is plausible, but smooth sylladex isnt very strong either from what i can tell and i still got sburb

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 405] im gonna be optimistic and hope im only going to places i know anything about, but fallen london craps on that since theres a lot i dont know about it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:40 PM

Yeah, a 100CP perk vs a 200CP perk isn't very much of a difference.

Maybe you only get one new door a day after the first three?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:40 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 406] idk man, last door i went through went to henry stickmin

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 407] which straight up was only tangentally related to where among us is from

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:41 PM

True

Maybe the doors are only somewhat related to the perks?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:41 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 408] WHAT ARE THE RULES, BOOK, WE NEED TO KNOW

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:42 PM

God, it would be so much easier to plan if the book told us shit

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:42 PM

Write a note and stick it in the book?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:42 PM

I guess we just make do for now.

Ha!

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:42 PM

Asking nicely?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:42 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 409] thats a good idea, ill try both

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:44 PM

Or put a letter in your mailbox addressed to R.OB. and wait a few days

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:44 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 410] my mailbox is gone

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:44 PM

Dang

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 411] also note doesnt seem to be working, nor being polite

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 01:45 PM

Oof

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:45 PM

Have you checked your contacts to see if there is any new ones?

Like there probably is not

But it would not hurt to try

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 412] i have not, but i will, brb

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 413] nothing

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 01:47 PM

Dang

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 01:51 PM

Oh god oh fuck

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:16 PM

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 02:16 PM

Gregor is a Snail

a kind of Furry

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:16 PM

...Slimey?

Are there insect furries?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 02:17 PM

Yes

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 421] yes

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 02:17 PM

Canary

Bird

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:17 PM

Mosquito chick from OPM is kinda thicc ngl

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 422] canary doesnt count, she doesnt even reach catgirl levels of furry

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:17 PM

She's a gijinka

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 02:17 PM

Tentacles-girl

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 424] filing that away for later

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:18 PM

Yeah, not on your first day you won't.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:18 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 425] im pretty sure marine creatures are filed under marine

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:18 PM

Makes sense

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 426] so who in here would fuck a fish

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 427] show of hands

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:19 PM

Isn't that the plot of The Shape of Water?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 428] ah, i see youve watched it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:19 PM

Nah, just learned about it through osmosis

And I want to fuck fish just as much as I want to fuck anything else. Make of that what you will.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:20 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 429] thats fair

[Forged Esoterica - Day 1 - 434] ok im having a hard time keeping my eyes open and i am entirely too cozy rn, i think thats it for the night

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:32 PM

Yeah, probably a good idea. Get some rest, sweet child.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:38 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 1] Well, woke up feeling kind of refreshed, saw I had two new things in the book after breakfast. No new doors yet. How're you guys doing this morning?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 02:39 PM

oh holy shit ben ten

and....if those elements are what I think

Infamous?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:40 PM

More doors?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:41 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 2] Yep. And one of the few things I cant use from ben 10 too. I don't think its infamous, though, on that second bit, since I can use them with my projection, and if I remember Infamous stuff was like. kind of tied to the user's body No new doors yet

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:41 PM

I think OFF is the name of an RPG thing? Might be getting it mixed up with ID

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:42 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 3] Gonna take this morning slow, I'm still kind of sleepy - twas a damn good rest OFF is an rpg, i played it before a few times

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:42 PM

Oh yeah, it's the one with that psycho baseball guy as the protag

I've heard of it but not played it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:43 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 4] Evil duck baseball psycho destroy's child's world - probably for the best i'm not exposed to that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:43 PM

Yeah

I guess for Ben 10 the danger depends on what point of the timeline it is

The original series is relatively tame, but it Ramps Up

So hopefully Ben is actually 10

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:44 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 5] It really does. I'm hoping a door to it doesn't appear rn

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:44 PM

...It could be the reboot.

I don't know whether that would be better or worse

It would be safer, but...

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 6] worse.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 7] honestly i completely checked out some time in the middle of ultimate alien

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:45 PM

Yeah, same here

I was super into it as a kid, but I dropped off at some point

I think Ben has to remake the universe at one point?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:46 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 8] they just lost track of what they were even trying to do with ben himself as a character - tried to make him grow up and then went 'fuck go back' and YEAH he did after it got destroyed

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 9] I'd much rather be dealing with scion tbh

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:49 PM

Alien X is BS

You could try and check where in the timeline you are if/when the doors appear.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 10] I remembered something in fallen london which takes away some of my worries - theres a club in fallen london that does regular duals to the death called the black ribbon. So you can guess my goal today.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:50 PM

Oh, that's smart.

Think you're up to it?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 11] It rarely gets permanently fatal, too. I think I might be able to stomach it, maybe.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 12] Honestly I'm still kind of disturbed how easy yesterday at the zoo was, but these people are consenting to it, and I get money and strength out of it to help people later. (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:51 PM

Yeah, it's a really good solution.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 02:52 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 13] Wish I thought of it sooner, but when it works, it works.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 14] I'm en route now, if anything interesting happens I'll keep you updated.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 02:57 PM

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 03:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 15] so i may have gotten a few favors with rubbery squid people and spies. hm (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 03:07 PM

Oh nice!

[Price of Oblivion] get any good gains?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 03:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 16] Better combat muscle memory, I think?? im not even gonna question its anatomy but I had to beat a few people off a rubbery person and one of em didnt get up

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 17] Still working on getting my invitation with the black ribbons

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 18] Starting to think I should just work with the local monster-hunters in the Department of Menace Eradication, its easier to get into

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 03:18 PM

Yep!

Do it!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 03:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 19] Patience is not my virtue. Doin it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 03:19 PM

Yeah, good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 03:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 20] time to go full nightmare fuel furry

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 21] Alright, on the other side of the river now, time to plow through this nonsense

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 22] im already well on my way to joining up. feels good man

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 03:22 PM

Hell yeah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 03:26 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 23] Hunting spiders. regret

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 24] Moths and spiders, i'm having a good day

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 25] I'm trying to multitask by hunting both moths and rats with my projection and me, it's working out excellently thus far. These moths are also giving me ideas on how to go fire-and-ice with [Oblivion], given they seem to be made of some sort of frozen liquid

[Connection Disrupted]

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 03:35 PM

oh no

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 03:41 PM

Oh dear

At least Fallen London resurrects people

I hope they're alright

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 04:56 PM

So I come back to error. Sweet

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 05:49 PM

[Connection Re-established] [Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 26] what?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 05:50 PM

Are you alright?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 05:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 27] yeah im fine, is discord messing up or something?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 28] im not noticing anything on my end but idk how reliable my end is

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 05:50 PM

What happened?

you've been out for hours on our end

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 05:51 PM

Yeah, discord disconnected

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 05:51 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 29] what the fuck??? i just saw like a bunch of messages appear all at once and wondered what was up a minute ago

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 30] thats p much how it looked like on my end

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 05:52 PM

...Huh.

Some sort of glitch? Did anything change?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 05:53 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 31] i genuinely do not know, this is kind of out of nowhere for me

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 32] fuck it, if theres time fuckery going on im checking the book

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 05:55 PM

Good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 05:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 33] nothing changed with the book

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 34] i need some object to fight and it will be discord for not understanding what time is

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 05:57 PM

Hey, if there's bug monsters, maybe Skitter will like them if you need to curry favour with her.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 05:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 35] oh sick my kitchen has apple juice

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 05:57 PM

Oh nice

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 05:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 36] yeah taylor would get a lot of mileage out of the sapient evil spiders i think

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 05:58 PM

Let's hope you didn't get linked to a crazy eldrich altpower Taylor's universe

Also, do you have a clock in your house?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 05:59 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 37] did you know that they sometimes fuse together to make masses of spiders that are about the size of a person? or a city? also yes i have several and the time hasnt changed by several hours for me

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 05:59 PM

I was more wondering about how time passes between different worlds

Like, if you waited two years, would Gold Morning happen in Worm?

You could put a clock on the other side of a door, wait a few hours, and check it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 38] thats a good question, ill have to do that when im strong enough to start branching out from the slice-of-life eldritch horror world

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:02 PM

Yeah

Whatever clock you put there could be in trouble

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:02 PM

how's [My Old Friend]

also a good name

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 39] eh, not big on that one personally

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 40] speaking of time though, its about lunchtime for me, and im gonna test a theory here (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 41] this is going to sound kind of silly, but im noticing these powers tend to come after a long sleep or a meal, i think

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 42] since i tend to have meals around the same time of day, it could be i get powers every 6 hours or every meal/long rest, whatever this thing is sending off around

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:09 PM

Best Eat and find out

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:13 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 43] i think i may be right, book updated

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 44] not a fan of the perk i got but at least the setting will be relatively low-threat

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:14 PM

someone is trying to make you a Bad Guy

looks like?

like

Smoke

Crime Lord Skill

MAGIC Staff

Spooky Kill Ghost

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:15 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 45] honestly it could be several things but when you put it like that i do get some bad vibes there

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:16 PM

Super Brain that Works only when Morals Aren't Considered

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:16 PM

Also a safe world to put the test clock in would be among us

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:17 PM

its literally the Nazi Research Power

buuuuut

maybe if you suffer

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 46] new door, looks like a bulkhead. also i got shot by multiple machine guns from guards in among us world, i will bring that up each and every time until its burned into your minds

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:17 PM

it still counts?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:18 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 47] thats a hard no on going back to among us world xan, just to make that 100% clear

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 48] at least until i have some bulletproof vests or smth

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:19 PM

:(

But my beans

/s

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 49] your beans arent even there, there wasnt a single person in a spacesuit

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 50] you got fucked with and i got shot

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:20 PM

We boys got caught looking for the beans in the morning. Worm might be a place to acquire some stuff like that though

Kevlar vests are a thing

Or tinkertech

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 51] anyways, projection is checkin out the new door, looks like one of those fnaf reverse gravity doors if made by a steampunker (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 52] worm might be good for bulletproof vests but i need legal id first and i havent got a clue how a multidimensional world invader gets one

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 53] lol

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 54] if i remember rightly worm also has some pretty rough protocols for otherworldly folks

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:23 PM

can you make Magic Paper

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:23 PM

Yeah worm and homestuck are late game jumps and you got them at the start

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:23 PM

that looks like ID?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:23 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 55] no. i have no magic

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:23 PM

or can you get those in London?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:24 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 56] im not sure anyone gives a damn in london, and i can maybe get something passible for late 19th century, but against modern databases and stuff? nah

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 57] wasnt london hit by ziz, too, in worm?

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:25 PM

Yep

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:25 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 58] yeah getting id from london is right out then

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 59] i could maybe work with the undersiders and get it that way but kinda iffy on that. coil and all

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:26 PM

Like fallen London is the only one besides this new door that can be explored rn

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:27 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 60] fallen london and bioshock are the safe bets, because the among us door leads to an airship full of guards with machine guns. i could technically explore sburb? but i dont wanna get arrested for house invasion, thatd be awkward

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 61] especially if its a house owned by an otherworld-me's grandma

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 62] fuck it, why am i worrying about sburb actually? im stealthy and i know it, i wont get caught

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 63] im going in there and checking out the neighborhood

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:29 PM

Oh ok

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 64] i get anxiety over stuff too easily, i just need to think about things for 10 seconds

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 65] so far, just looks like my old neighborhood but nicer, complete with the crazy cat lady that used to live next door

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:32 PM

Is there an alternate you around?

Be carefull

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 66] think alternate me would be in school right now

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:33 PM

Would any version of your grandma be welcome to an extra dimensional you?

That you know at least

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:33 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 67] no my grandma was a bitch, pardon my french

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 68] fucked my mom up, kind of fucked me up

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:34 PM

Would you be aimiable to another you?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 69] assuming its like young teen me? and i open with something like "I AM YOU FROM AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE" or something? totally

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 70] admittedly ill prolly panic first but it is what it is

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:35 PM

What if this you is one of those teens with powers?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:35 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 71] powers are later, in the game itself. my house is still on earth, so that's a good sign

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:36 PM

Alright. Did you know of jojo's when you were younger?

Cause stand and all

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 72] no, i was into stuff like avatar back then, tv shows and cartoons

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 73] mainstream stuff on cartoon network and nickelodean

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:37 PM

Other you would be either 13 or 15-16, right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:37 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 74] probably around that range, yeah

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 75] ironically id have been reading homestuck about then

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:37 PM

Lol say this is homestuck, I am from an alternate time line warning you

/s

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:38 PM

Would they know what Homestuck is if they're from Homestuck themself?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:38 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 76] man i wish MSPA had other series on their site within homestuck itself, so probably not

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:38 PM

They might've heard about the new hit game, Sburb

Or Problem Sleuth or Midnight Crew, yeah

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:39 PM

And the only reason I'm here, is because my home.... Is stuck... In a pocket dimention

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:39 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 77] actually come to think of it, im kind of worried about them - i made a lot of my more modern friends through homestuck, it helped get me through a real dark patch in my life tbh

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:40 PM

you're fine [Oblivion Hugs] Will make everything better

Xanderpy 25-Nov-20 06:40 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 79] hm. im gonna check if the computer 13 year old me has works, see if i can fix it if not

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:42 PM

Ooh good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:42 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 80] im not skilled with electronic repair but im sure tasks can carry me

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:43 PM

Let's hope so, it should apply here just as well as, say, tasks in Electrical

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:43 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 81] honestly id even take the annoying beepy node minigame

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 82] it works

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:45 PM

Would 13 year old you notice that their computer was suddenly better and be worried about it?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 83] he would notice if i planned to leave it on, which i do plan to do - he would not care and assume grandma got a tech savvy friend to fix it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:46 PM

Okay good

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:46 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 84] im gonna see if i can fix the ps2 memory card i have too, it never saved data

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:46 PM

Also, does 13 year old you have Sburb?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:47 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 85] probably not - its a computer game, the computer wasnt working a bit ago. id bet he will now though, it looks like otherworld me is getting an allowance

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 86] not that that matters when pirates are concerned. yar-har

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 88] side note, projection is now significantly better at instinctual fighting. i think its not picking up skills as far as knowledge goes, which is weird, but im rolling with it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:50 PM

Maybe it's picking up muscle memory?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 89] probably, im just wondering if this is a text-to-reality difference

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:50 PM

what did it eat last?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 90] a person-sized mound of spiders

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 91] i don't blame you, you don't want to know what it felt like

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 92] hey, since i got evil science from bioshock, do you guys think ill get understanding of ADAM from there? cause i could use that to heal clockblocker's father, maybe, earn a lot of brownie points with him

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:53 PM

I guess it depends on the other perks available there

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:54 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 93] id really rather not be stuck with that as my only profit from that world, so here's hoping. it also occurs to me that bioshock is probably safer to explore than fallen london

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 06:54 PM

You'd have to find some slugs and people to suffer for you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 94] no, you could harvest adam from the slugs themselves, people just made them generate more

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 95] i remember that from infinite, they were working on something like that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:55 PM

Shame it says "people" on that perk

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:56 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 96] i could eventually get into cloning, make some mindless zombies, hook up some feeding tubes, harvest adam that way

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:56 PM

Hey, that works.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 97] honestly it sounds a lot more ethical than 'kidnap children and brainwash them with pheromones or whatever'

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 98] which is the main selling point for me

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 06:57 PM

It looks like the ADAM stuff is in another perk

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 99] damn

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 100] well, here's hoping for the next time

Plasmids Are The Paint (300 CP): ADAM flowed through every vein in Rapture to some degree. Plasmids were a force that could sway the entire economy with each new formula released. Suchong and Tenenbaum were certainly the two spearheading development, but they were not the only ones. There was an entire field of geneticists tinkering in their labs on how best to mix the human genome like a cocktail. You were one of these minds. You have a decade of practical experience playing and modifying genetics, but are particularly skilled when it comes to creating Plasmids and Tonics. While you are by no means a world-changing genius like the two greats previously mentioned, you are more than capable of creating your own ADAM-based products given a lab and supply of the substance. What you do with this knowledge is entirely up to you.

Give us a healing perk, RNGsus

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 06:59 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 102] it occurs to me i could also maybe get an understanding of some sort by murdering mad doctors in rapture, go full siberian on their asses

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 104] itd be busted if it was actually working that way

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 105] i think the skill gains are as small as the physical gains generally

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:01 PM

But with that Perk

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:01 PM

Yeah, probably

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 106] ascendance by a thousand boosts

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:01 PM

The Evil Science Perk?

The Suffering makes it work better yes?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:01 PM

Wait, if you bring other people into Fallen London, do they self-resurrect too?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:02 PM

Something to Evil Science

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:02 PM

Could you catch, I dunno, a bug and test that?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:02 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 107] the resurrection thing is native to london, not its people

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:02 PM

So if you wanted, you could bring someone there to farm their power/knowledge

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 108] i could do it several times, yes, but it does take time to revive, and gets harder with each revive i think, though im not sure on that given i havent died yet

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:03 PM

Wait, if you're getting science knowledge from it, would that be "advancing your understanding of science"?

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:03 PM

(...right sure Im sus about that)

(I haven't Died Yet)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:03 PM

(dude did get their projection gunned down yesterday and theyre still shook about it)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:04 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 110] man. im not sure how i feel about that lol

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 111] getting a few mixed feelings on the subject of repeated murder and kidnapping, but if i find an acceptable target ill try and live with it i guess

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:05 PM

Yeah, on an acceptable target.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 112] got more important shit to work on than one sociopathic scientist after all

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 113] like getting cool shit from fallen london

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 114] or learning the discordance so i can make cognitohazardous ice explosions by talking

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:07 PM

And gathering allies

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:07 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 115] that too

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:07 PM

"Discordance"?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:08 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 116] so in the fallen london universe, the correspondence is the language of stars. it is light, it is law, it must be obeyed, and can take many forms. the discordance is the language of dead stars, broken laws, so on and so forth and is like a cold-themed correspondence

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:09 PM

So you'd be able to break physical laws after learning how to use it?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 117] to a degree, probably. at maximum effect for a human, id probably be a worse vista without a manton limit and ice explosions

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:10 PM

Oh shit

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 118] with god knows what master/stranger effects thrown in there

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:10 PM

Welp

That's definitely something to learn

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 119] it does seem less dangerous than the correspondence though, which just fucking sets things on fire and makes shit happen

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 120] i know of at least one londoner who knows something about the discordance, ill need to see if i can find her

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 122] ah. yeah i think i remember that from skittering thief

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:12 PM

just a call back

and remember

the more they suffer the more you learn

which is deeply fucked up

but might as well use it

could go into worm and get Alabaster, for example

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:13 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 123] im not torturing people to death. thats my line in the sand, for now at least.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:13 PM

Both a Nazi, and a immortal.

Nazi ain't people imo

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 124] im just gonna repeatedly stab them in the chest. alabaster id stab in the head repeatedly

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 125] nazis are people - really, really terrible people, and id love to avoid becoming worse than them

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:15 PM

I think Alabaster can die if his corona is damaged? Try beheading or something

But going Alabaster hunting is a good idea, if it's safe enough

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:16 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 126] actually, repeatedly killing him might net me his power in full force for [Oblivion]

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 127] bioshock probably has neurologists, right?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 128] god. now im thinking about what counts as 'dead' by my power

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:17 PM

Huh, that is also a good point.

Medical death or can't-recover death?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:18 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 129] im honestly considering just making something to get the timing right so i can repeatedly kill alabaster just before he resets, which is seriously fucked on so many levels tbh

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:19 PM

I mean, he's a nazi. He brought it on himself.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 130] yeah, but hes also a human being, and id rather not be the one bring that down on him

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:19 PM

True

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:20 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 131] because that can probably turn into a slippery slope and im already having issues about murdering people when its fully consentual

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:20 PM

Also a good point.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 132] im not arguing that alabaster doesnt deserve to get buried in concrete and dropped in the ocean, he does, but who does it is just as important - if i want his power, i gotta power through, which means making this as minimally ethically disturbing to me as possible

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:22 PM

Yeah

Be better than the nazis

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:22 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 133] gotta make it so i can have some clinical detachment about all this

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:24 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 135] it wasnt even a perk it was an item. a useless item for the moment, as well

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:27 PM

Don't you have Smoke Magic?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:27 PM

Well, it'll be good once you get some really good magic

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:28 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 136] not really, no - its basic smoke enchanting, im not sure whats going on with the staff

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:29 PM

What does that mean

smoke enchanting?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 137] basically, smoke attacks are easier with melee and guns - shoot smoke bomb bullets, suffocate people with smoking chains, that sort of thing

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:31 PM

that sounds like magic that the staff would cover to me??

Have you tried holding and making a smoke chain?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:31 PM

It says "master magician", doesn't it?

Staff of Ages: Only a master magician can draw upon the power in this staff, but anyone who manages to wield it will find their magic power magnified by an astounding degree.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 138] on top of that its from two different metaphysic systems entirely

does it matter?

can it eat the staff?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:33 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 140] no

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 141] the staff is not alive

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 07:33 PM

dang

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 07:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 142] and im not breaking my very powerful magical artifacts out of curiosity, because thats asking for death

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 143] i dont know how the hell the staff works, but its clearly very different from what i do with smoke - i think i set the tone wrong when i called it enchanting because that implies it was more magical than it was

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 144] id call it more psychic bullshit tbh but its like, a really really blurry line there between magic and psychic bullshit

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 145] smoke bs plays nice with [Oblivion] is all i know

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 07:36 PM

Oh, it's Hex's staff

It also occurs to me that you can get a lot of good Thanatosing depending on what you prototype your sprite with

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:02 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 174] i'll end up with something that can help eventually, and a high-tier weapon with them in it still does good damage, just has bonus effects

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 175] im thinking of prototyping my sprite with my teen self tbh, maybe a robot toy pre-entry

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:03 PM

I think a dead person might be a better idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 176] true, true

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:03 PM

You'll hopefully get some gratitude out of it

And they might have some good powers

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:04 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 177] oh my god i could resurrect hero

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 178] youre a genius

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:04 PM

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I just don't know if his power will reconnect or not.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 179] sburb deals in concepts, so he'll probably be more or less a super scientist with good charisma

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

It will

Shards aren't picky

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

You'd also need to get his corpse, which might prove difficult.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

As long as the Brain is close enough

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 180] this isn't in worms's universe, though

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 181] it's in sburb's

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

trueeee

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

Even if it doesn't reconnect, you might be able to ask Cauldron for a duplicate vial

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

maybe when you put him back?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 182] and tbh universe isnt as appropros as plane of reality

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 183] yeah maybe then

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:06 PM

If you prototype the kernelsprite with a toy robot or something, then go into the Medium, you can probably take Robotsprite with you to the Wormverse

And THEN resurrect Hero.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:07 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 184] i did have a (probably suicidal) idea: what if i prototyped eden

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:07 PM

Oh no

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:07 PM

noooo

No

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:08 PM

What if you prototyped Eden BEFORE the kernel hatched

Would that be better or worse than Bec?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:08 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 185] sburb is literally the answer to the entities' biggest problems, and i could see pre-hatch eden handing out powers like normal

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 186] kind of wondering if it would be grateful

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:09 PM

listen all they want to do is eat and fuck forever

no greater goal for solving the problem of entropy

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 187] understandable and agreeable

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:10 PM

But being a sprite would give her another goal

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 188] yep, that's true: helping teen me

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:10 PM

I wonder what the most optimal number of players would be?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 189] honestly probably 12, you hit every base that way

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:11 PM

True

And if you don't prototype your kernelsprite with doG or sea cthulu, the final boss shouldn't be too impossible either.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:12 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 190] eden just calls in scion to fuck up the thinker-entity-based final boss

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:12 PM

Even if you do have 12 prototypings

Yeah, Scion would roll the Black King

Huh, now I'm legit wondering if you could pacifist run Worm

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 191] it seems possible now, but unlikely

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:14 PM

not with what you have available to you no

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:14 PM

Yeah. Be nice if you could, but no way of guaranteeing it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 192] you'd need very particular circumstances happening, and with all the conflict-craving enemy precogs, thats a nightmare

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 193] ...hey guys, question: have you noticed any significant personality changes in me since i got my shard?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:15 PM

Also, hot tip: The Black Queen doesn't like frogs, so if you prototype something with a frog, that's hopefully one less boss to fight. If you ally with a carapacian, that ring goes to an ally.

Huh, probably a good idea to check for shard influence.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:16 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 194] with all this talk of murder and stuff and bringing up conflict i have to think about that and worry about it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:16 PM

Though the jump by default locks shard influence behind a drawback

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:16 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 195] nnnot sure whether or not im comforted by that, considering how often homicide has been coming up in my books

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:16 PM

That is true.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:16 PM

can you sprite your own power?

Or whatever??

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:16 PM

Huh, also a good question.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 196] id run the risk of losing it, probably

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 197] not testing that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:17 PM

If you swear to get 12 players for your Sburb game, you'll get a time player, who'll hopefully be able to time travel and test that shit out.

Or just prototype a sprite with Coil's corpse for some fake gratitude. (edited)

Assuming you didn't kill him yourself

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:18 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 198] nah, he deserves death at some point or another. he'll get it eventually

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:19 PM

Yeah, fair. Putting an asshole in your sprite is probably a bad idea. Future Dave probably didn't do so well with Calsprite whispering at him.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 25-Nov-20 08:19 PM

Dubiously Motivated Pika 25-Nov-20 08:20 PM

Ah fuck

Not again

Welp, we can talk again when you get back.

Gazzer 25-Nov-20 08:21 PM

its late as fuck on my end anyhow

night

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:37 AM

[Connection Re-established]

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 199] ...again?? jfc

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 05:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 200] So I've learned something: Actual theft is a lot easier thanks to tasks. I had a hard time noticing for a while, but it's easier to break-and-enter, loot, pickpocket, and I seem to be getting more bang for my buck out of it. I have a lot more stuff now than I did before.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 201] Heading back for lunch now.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 05:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 202] We have jojos at home now, so that's a thing. Also I can turn invisible

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:17 AM

Good job!

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:25 AM

so yeah you are a jojo character now

do you have a jojo door?

could be usefull for getting friends

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 203] i have 7 jojo doors

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:25 AM

wait what

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 204] did i stutter

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:26 AM

is there any beastie in london that can give you resistance to time stand shenanigans?

cause honestly the only threat you have right now is DIO!'s time stop

cause you got that "you cant see me" thing (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 205] probably not, none that i can think of at least. i might be able to kill a few thousand devils for resistance to physics breaking stuff but honestly itd be tricky

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 206] and theres no guarantee id get that

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:27 AM

hmm

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 207] on the plus side i do have a FUCKTON of grist now and i made my gunsword. im considering getting a flashlight and turning it into a laser gunsword

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:28 AM

have you been noticing the effects of strike a pose?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 208] only when i really pay attention

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 209] honestly i think im just posing like a supermodel subconsciously now so im glad i got the invisibility trick

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:29 AM

is your stand invisible?

cause you could use it without people noticing it is staying near you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 210] invisibility doesnt extend to my projection, which seems a little arbitrary but i can deal

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:30 AM

I think you may have a door for each Era Of Jojo

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:30 AM

well hey for worm you now have the best secret identity

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:30 AM

so the 3rd door would be roughly 1990

second would be 1940's

first would be 1890

right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:31 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 211] yeah im pretty sure youre right gazzer. the question is if this is the same jojo universe or if i have to deal with a whole multiverse here

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:31 AM

Upside

you could say your [Stand] lets you time travel and the Jojos would believe you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:32 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 212] thats true, very true. i can also make up some bullshit about it putting me outside of time, in true jojo fashion

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:32 AM

that's not even a lie

you are outside of time

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 213] i am outside of space and technically outside of time by that merit

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 214] i really want to learn the spin though, so im gonna join up with gyro and johnny

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:34 AM

you sure you don't wanna learn to breath sunlight first?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 215] i can do that whenever joseph is alive, or jonathan

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:34 AM

True

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 216] i have like 5 doors for hamon, i have 1 door for spin

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:35 AM

gosh I wonder what would happen to hamon in London

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 217] im already looking into vehicles in fallen london

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:35 AM

Given that the sun is evil

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 218] ...im never trying hamon in london, thank you for noting that

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 219] there is a very good chance that i would asplode if i did lol

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 220] oh! i should also mention what sort of loot i got in my continual heisting of london

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:38 AM

i was looking back on the logs, the heck is a sprite?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 221] i have a lot of illegal books, contracts with devils, ordinary souls in stock, a metric ton of nevercold brass, a few metric tons of glim, a metric ton of jade, a metric ton of moonpearls, a few diamonds, weird cloths, a few permits, and a few weird souls and some animals (which i sold off to the zoo) as for a sprite, it's a homestuck thing, a tutorial character you can customize by throwing things into it that helps you through the game

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:40 AM

Gonna Grist most of that?

Or keep it in Card form for later

when you can Tinker

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:41 AM

ah k. what can you do with those contracts?

oh yeah keeps some of the mats. specially souls, cause you might get some more magic later and souls are a good power source

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:42 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 222] i grist'd like all of it and noted all the codes since the grist/alchemize ratio is like 1:1 can't really do much with the infernal contracts off the top of my head, other than maybe leverage for some low-tier info, but selling your soul is common enough in fallen london that i cant get too much leverage from them (edited)

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:43 AM

i mean you should not sell your soul

would it even affect you given your semi-jumper nature?

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:43 AM

Selling other peoples souls should be good

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:43 AM

ah true

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:43 AM

A Soul Broker

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:44 AM

lol make the contracts in other worlds

bound to get better deals

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:44 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 223] honestly im a little iffy on the soul trade? but only a little. im more likely to keep souls for other stuff, like upgrading weapons

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 224] besides, i cant just steal souls, no matter how much saying that would freak the fuck out of people who understand what [Oblivion] does

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:45 AM

lol

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:45 AM

dang

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 226] i could with a spirifer's fork, but i dont want to

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:45 AM

wait so the contracts let you barter for souls

or just call a demon to barter with

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 227] no, you can just buy them at the bazaar

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 228] the contracts are a paper trail

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:46 AM

aight. imma head to the wiki later to look up some fallen london items

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 229] tl;dr with the devils in fl: fallen london lives right next to hell, and devils take a scientific approach to stealing souls, as scientific as that can be - extraction with tools and all that, they arent very magic

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:47 AM

got it. have you tried to get the avid glove?

cause that surgery bonus might come in handy

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:48 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 230] not especially, its a relatively low-level item if i recall. though you do make a fine point there

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 231] next trip to london, i'll have to do that

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:48 AM

yeah low level, but nothing is weak if you use it right

case in point, taylor

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 232] taylor had one of the most busted powers of the series: poor communication skills and overwhelming hate

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:49 AM

that is why i hoard EVERYTHING in games. never know when you might need it, no matter how useless it might seem at the moment

ah true

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 233] actually, wait, why am i even considering buying shit anymore i can alchemize it if i get the code

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:50 AM

or just steal it

but is the avid glove sapient?

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:50 AM

is this a Garment Glove thing?

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:50 AM

can you alchemize sapient equipment?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:50 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 234] yes, but i doubt that's an issue if i can get the top tier alchemy machines from homestuck

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:50 AM

yeh

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 235] i think alchemy may have an issue against fully autonomous beings

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:51 AM

yeah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 236] given it required specific upgrades in homestuck 2 to make creatures

Gazzer is this a Garment Glove thing?

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:51 AM

avid glove is like garments weird eldritch cousin

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 237] lowkey considering joining the steel ball run race and just flashstepping every step of the way

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:53 AM

thinking about jojos, those seven doors means that you could massively derail one timeline and have the others be fine

steel ball run?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:53 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 238] part 7 was a race with cowboys

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:54 AM

alright. now i am curious if the 7 doors are just different times or 7 alternate universes at different times

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:54 AM

Quick leave a letter for yourself in 1940

and check for it in 1990

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:54 AM

cause the latter option would be best for powering up [Oblivion] (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:54 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 239] that's really the question here. im also not sure i could send letters to myself that easily, given every part takes place somewhere else

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:55 AM

Not if you ask Speed Wagon to Hold onto it

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:55 AM

gotta make friends with them first

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 240] have to befriend him first

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:55 AM

That dude and his World Spanning Company is everywhere

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:55 AM

meta knowledge could help you befriend a jojo.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:55 AM

you're both crime children you should get on fine

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 241] question: when exactly does part 2 start

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:56 AM

1938 i think

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:56 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 242] okay, and part 1 is in like the 1890s yeah?

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:56 AM

think so

yeah really old

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:56 AM

1938

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:56 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 243] god. now im imagining jonathan in fallen london, because thats the same time period

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:57 AM

but get some fallen london outfits and you could fit right in

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:57 AM

"At the start of the series, in the fall of 1938, Joseph and Erina move from London to New York"

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 244] well thats easy enough, i can just try on a few things in a clothes store and note the codes

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 245] admittedly a lot of stuff is probably custom-tailored when it comes to the fancy stuff but

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:58 AM

get a costume for a theme

you will need one sooner or later

for worm

so get one in fallen london to set your look (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 246] a parabola-linen suit would work for jojo, but for worm i think i want my outfit to actually be able to stand up to, say, armsmaster

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 06:59 AM

I'd go for Jojo3 and grab something from 87

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 06:59 AM

i mean yeah, that is for when you get magic

to enchant your outfit

like go for worm after you get actual magic

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 06:59 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 247] i want a very iconic look so everyone in the joestar family recognizes me in case it's one or two universes (edited)

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:00 AM

cause actual magic prettymuch fucks with everything in some capacity, at least for most worm metaphysics

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:00 AM

Go for a Dream Suit?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 248] i like the dream suit, i like cosmogone. i can get a silverer's spectacles too probably, look sick as fuck

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:00 AM

can you get a suit in fallen london that looks like the ender portal effect?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 249] i could get some irrigo robes, but that would probably make my skull grow over my eyes

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:01 AM

oh

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 250] irrigo risky

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 251] i could maybe add some viric, yellow and green go well together

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:02 AM

imagine this pattern never stops moving

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 252] gazzer youre on my hit list now

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 253] lmao

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 254] anyways, yeah, omw to get a nice suit, then i can go befriend jonathan and murder dio

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 255] i shall leave you with this for the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI6vKjDyTrU

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:08 AM

get some jojo muisc before you enter

interupt

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 257] Yeah, Jojo door looks similar to the first Fallen London door I had. I wonder if I'll come out at around the same place...?

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:11 AM

do you always have the candle on you?

the ten minutes of no injury + avid glove could be a literal lifesaver

and can you alchemize the candle?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 259] I can't, no. ...Well, I technically can, but it comes out as an ordinary candle, no supernatural stuff with it.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:13 AM

dang

well time for jojo?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:14 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 260] Just doesn't click the same way, I guess? I think I might have some sort of innate sense on whether something is working or not. Anyways, Jojo time. I'm gonna try and copy how the others breathe, but my own asthma might get in the way. Here's hoping all goes well.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 261] Came out in London, and I hear some kind of commotion in a tunnel. I think I might've come out just in time to deal with Jack the Ripper.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:16 AM

Yeah kick his ass!

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:16 AM

correction, kick his ass FABULOUSLY!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 262] I'm gonna get a couple blocks away and use [Oblivion] to do it.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:17 AM

nobody even has Stands yet

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 263] Nobody is reacting well to it for some reason??

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:17 AM

cheater :V

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 264] ...Fucking shard influence, I didn't even realize it but [Oblivion] is probably kind of terrifying.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:18 AM

imean it is a giant mist demon

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:18 AM

its a spooky shadow thing with claws and wings

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 265] That can catch on fire.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:18 AM

probably not shard influence rather than just being acustomed to it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 266] Jesus Christ Jonathan swole.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:19 AM

once you go [Oblivion Hugs] you never go back

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 267] Fight is going reasonably well, Zeppeli realized I wasn't there to cause any harm when I started going after Jack and just trying to dodge Jonathan. Not sure Jonathan got the memo yet.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 268] Oh god anime rant

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:20 AM

They will never stop talking

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 269] I set Jack on fire briefly while Zeppeli is ranting

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 270] I hate how people taste

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 271] Zombies particularly

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 272] Gimme a moment to control my dry heaving

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:22 AM

oh right you feel everything [Dark Furry] feels

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:22 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 273] thank you for the murderous rage lmao

[Shadow The Hedgehog]-ass Stand

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 274] Fight ended, I'm introducing myself through [Price of Oblivion]

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 275] I'm sorry I couldn't exactly give you more details, that shit went by fast

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 276] I managed to pretty badly injure Jack before he went in the wall. Removed a few ribs and burned/bit his arm off, and let Jonathan get the final hit so he knows to use Hamon with brains (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 277] I'm gonna travel with them to Windknight's Lot, it isn't especially far from here

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:30 AM

cool!

enjoy the London Smog

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 278] Wish I had something to kind of cleanse my palette

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 279] I feel like between biting off a guy's arm and getting shot, I'm using my projection a little too flippantly

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:32 AM

ask for a cuppa?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 280] Straight up used the carriage door on the carriage to go grab a soda can real quick. Acidic taste and all that.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:35 AM

you cheater :v

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:36 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 281] I get the feeling I might very well end up delegated to the role of side character here, I do what I please.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:36 AM

you need some defensive powers on [Oblivion] to make getting shot hurt less

can [Oblivion] get hammon? (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 282] It does get a little more defensive strength every kill, but I'd need to kill some seriously tanky things with it to level it at a faster rate than -1/1000 damage per kill. As for getting Hamon, I'm not sure. It might get something similar.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:38 AM

good thing there's Vampires to eat

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:39 AM

honestly hoping you get a pokemon door soon. like shuckle's only power is that it's shell is fukin HARD (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:39 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 283] I'm gonna murder so many zombies.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 284] Thankfully that's literally the only thing they're good for.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:39 AM

what do the zombies give you?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:39 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 285] I don't know yet. Probably boosted strength and durability, though, since that's their thing.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:40 AM

well that is good for you. durability and strength are needed

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 286] Durability, at least. I'm pretty set on strength, tbh.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 287] Peak human strength can be scary.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:42 AM

yeah but that is peak human

some things conceptually cant be handled by peak human

and need at least a bit more

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 288] That's true, but I'm not even nearly at the point where I should get involved with that sort of bs.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:43 AM

like a touch of supernatural strength

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 289] Besides, I do have some strength on top of that - not a lot, but it's something.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:43 AM

well how are your interactions with the jojo crew?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:44 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 290] Jonathan is still apologizing, me and Speedwagon are having a bit of a chuckle over that.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 291] Not sure Zeppeli knows what to make of me yet.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 07:44 AM

give Speedwagon that letter when you can

gotta test the timeline

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:45 AM

they have only seen [OBLIVION] so far, right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 292] Correct, I'm staying invisible until Dio is dead.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 293] And I mean really dead.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 07:46 AM

well if you fight DIO and do not get a power from him then you know he is not dead

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 07:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 294] I'll go for the head. If I give him severe brain damage, it may revert the vampiric changes and/or just straight-up kill him.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 295] I think Poco should be showing up fairly soon, which means zombie army soon.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 296] Actually, that could lead to an early kill on Dio: I can set my projection on fire, and have it flashstep onto Dio. I just have to hope Dio isn't stronger than it is.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 297] Zombies brb im gonna focus on this

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 08:02 AM

happy hunting

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 298] its going well

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 08:03 AM

And how is [Edgelord]?

starting to look rotten?

I hope not

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:06 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 299] i think i mightve gotten some regen somehow

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 300] i'm taking hits sometimes, and it hurts like hell, but the pain stops pretty fast

Esprit 26-Nov-20 08:09 AM

thats probably action-universe physics starting to kick in

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 08:09 AM

You are in a world where everyone with the slightest bit of effort is RIPPED AS FUCK

do you notice abs yet?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:10 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 301] still thin, myself

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 302] dio, cant talk

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 303] ok. im back

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 304] not feeling terrific, projection getting concussed doesnt feel good for me. i'll try to recap how the fight ended up going

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 08:31 AM

don't push yourself too hard

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 305] -dio launches into anime villain monologue, i have my projection stand there like a dumbass while he does the bread line. -while that's going on, i reposition myself so the projection can get access to Dio easier (earlier id been setting the hoard on fire with flash stepping [Oblivion] - got a not-insignificant boost in physical stats from all that but i had to be closer to the zombies) -had [Oblivion] teleport behind dio and grab him, then self-immolate - dio's ice bullshit cannot counter my fire bullshit, especially since i have cold resistance on [Oblivion] -thought he was gonna do laser eyes, so i started beating the back of his head in with [Oblivion]'s forehead - broke his skull, but i think thats around when it got concussed. pretty sure i left dio at least temporarily blind, though, he seemed to have worse perception after that -dio on fire broke free and had remaining zombies swarm [Oblivion] so i had to desummon it, the fire apparently was warding off the hamon warriors from going in for melee so everyone was basically throwing rocks (and hats) -speedwagon got a lucky hit in and seriously hurt one of dio's legs, i think he cut an important tendon which slowed him down -jonathan managed to use magic sunlight bullshittery to pick up a bunch of water, charged with hamon, which was kind of holding its shape (more or less) somehow and dunk dio and some zombies in it - i dont think the charge was particularly strong though since barely any zombies died, though it didnt seem pleasant -hair guy helped dio get away -big guy fought us out in the open, i slipped away and the others used leaf glider

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 306] i think jonathan accidentally discovered how to use magic sunlight hydrokinesis to a very limited degree while trying to douse dio so he could punch him

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:38 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 307] chocking that one up to anime bullshit, but it puts off the bruford fight, which is probably good. i think im gonna see if i can convince zeppeli to unlock hamon for my projection, if its even possible

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 308] if i get hamon for [Oblivion] i can telefrag zombies

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 08:38 AM

try to unlock it for yourself at some point

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:39 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 309] ive been trying with breathing and ive been making myself lightheaded

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 08:39 AM

like [Oblivion] is getting strong but you are still squishy

try to get them to unlock it for you

also if you ever start working out, do so in the jojo uiverse for maximum gains

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 310] good point, i should do that before zeppeli dies to big guy

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 311] nevermind, gonna have to deal with the others

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 08:43 AM

good luck

try not to get in a Drama Off

his fated mentor death?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 315] im mad at myself for letting mountain man mcgee sneak up on us, this ones on me

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 316] fuck, man

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 317] kind of want to leave since this is getting to me but at the same time i cant abandon the rest of the team like that

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 08:53 AM

Invite them to your house?

Not like they can go there without

your help

"thanks to my power, I exist in a place outside time"

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:53 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 318] true, but i get the feeling they want to keep the pressure up on dio since he was hurt pretty bad

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 319] theyre lookin p intense right now

even the dog is glaring, if they have a dog

can you get Magic Tattoos in Fallen London? just a random thought

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:56 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 321] magic, no, unless i want my skin to burn off

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 08:56 AM

dang no Dream Ink Tattoos

so you can have smoke moving on your skin

so you match your stand

for THEMES :v (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 08:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 322] fair enough

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 323] i could maybe get exotic color tattoos, but that runs the risk of negative side effects on my health - viric promotes growth so i could end up turning into andre the giant, which im not sure would be pleasant?

Esprit 26-Nov-20 08:59 AM

yeahhh you might wanna put a pin on that until you can scavenge the expertise to ensure things turn out reasonably

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 08:59 AM

would work out if you ever get a portal to One Piece

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 324] bumped into adams and the ripple masters, got punched to try and unlock my capacity for hamon. it did not work

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 325] on the plus side im not in severe pain thanks to them

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:04 AM

Cool

Looks like you don't have the body for hamon

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 326] cant say im surprised, it requires good ciculation and breathing and i have neither

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:05 AM

maybe if you get a perk that unfucks your body

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 327] why do things happen so fast in anime

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 328] im gonna fucking cry

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 329] lmao

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:06 AM

Maybe

go take a break

it feels like you're close to a breakdown here

you don't have to be there for everything

you've helped how you can

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:07 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 330] i cant quit just yet, dio's cornered and if i dont make sure his body isnt launched off the side of the castle he'll kill jonathan

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:07 AM

Eat that fucker

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:09 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 331] why am i waiting on the jojo gang actually, if i corner him and take him by surprise this ends faster

Esprit 26-Nov-20 09:09 AM

be careful. you probably have less plot armor than they do

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:10 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 332] its probably daytime in sburb, if i can give dio brain damage to the part of his brain that is responsible for movement then drag him there, it could end right there

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:11 AM

Yooooo

not like a vampire could do much to teens what alter reality

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 338] that i thought about for five minutes

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:14 AM

Could [Oblivion] carry something charged with Hamon?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 339] theres a very key difference - and probably, but its hard to actually keep something charged with hamon

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 340] see: the water trick earlier, apparently

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:15 AM

Yeah, it was a long shot

How long does [Oblivion] take to come back?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 341] if popped violently? like, uh, fifteen minutes i think, i didnt time it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:17 AM

15 minutes is aight

Can it use your capchalogue?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 342] doesnt seem so, no

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:17 AM

Huh. Maybe you'll need to get it one of its own.

Also, you only have 7 doors. Are parts 4 and 5 combined like in the jump doc, or do you not have part 8?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 343] idk, ive only been in the part 1 door

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:19 AM

Fair. The Zepelli family is probably still around in Part 8, so if you wanna learn the spin, that's also an option.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:21 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 344] i found dio again, bruford is here with him, and hes draining people. ...i should head back to the warehouse and make the gunsword laser-y

real quick

maybe use a sunlamp

so its a UV Gunsword laser

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:27 AM

yooo cool

Actually, Dio's death would be a good way to confirm whether or not your doors are in the same timeline

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 364] I DID IT I THINK

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:46 AM

Did [O] power up?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 365] OBLIVION POPPED FROM A NASTY KICK IN THE CHEST BUT GOT A SHOT INTO HIS HEAD

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:46 AM

Are the zombies dying?

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:46 AM

EAT HIS BRAIN

HE ISNT DEAD IF HE HAS BRAIN

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 366] not sure if oblivion powered up, id have to take it out to see and thats not an option right now, zombies do seem to be kind of losing it rn tho

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:47 AM

Keep an eye on Dio's corpse

When it's over, pop his skull open

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:48 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 367] making my way up to confirm the kill, i am going to vaporize his skull

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 368] i think it might be regenerating, which is seriously concerning. gunsword is here though so im gonna just keep frying him until theres either hamon or sunlight to put him down

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 369] no movement thankfully

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:51 AM

If you destroy his brain he should be dead for good

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:51 AM

[Obviously Bad] should love the power up

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 370] should be, but im not gonna risk him coming back with like a blank slate hungry vampire brain or something. dios head exploded in stardust crusaders and while he was down they still wanted to dump his body under sunlight (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 09:52 AM

Fair, if he is still regenerating, you should burn the body

Actually, would just fire work?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:53 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 371] i'll wait for jonathan and co. hamon is probably a surefire way to kill the regen. lasers slow it but dont seem to stop it

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:54 AM

can you Capturlogwhatever Hamon?

or do you not have one of those things?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 372] its energy, so probably not no

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 373] inventory is for items

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 09:57 AM

maybe something Hamon infused

worth a shot when you have the time to experiment

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 09:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 374] i'll see if i can convince joseph to lend me something like that - he tends to use hamon on items regularly. not sure if items in my sylladex are put in stasis or not, but it's worth checking out

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 375] ok, dio is dealt with

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 376] i told speedwagon to send the message in 1938 to me in america and left. i am lying down

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 10:01 AM

Tbf you could also just ask future Speedwagon what happened to Dio

But asking him to remember something works too

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:02 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 377] whatever works, i dont want to be here anymore

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 10:02 AM

go home, get some rest.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 378] im gonna check the book when i get home, maybe itll have something new to get my mind off things

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 10:04 AM

Yeah, putting a bookmark in door shit for now is probably a good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 379] i am drained from all that, and dio didnt even get his fingers in me

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 380] ...that sounds so fucking wrong

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 381] does seem to be new stuff in the book, though, which is good

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 10:07 AM

Oh?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:08 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 382] so remember when i couldnt do hamon?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 383] or wanted to learn the spin

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 384] i dont know if this is just good luck or a reaction

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 385] not complainin tho, even if the blood vessels thing is leaving my skin crawling a little rn

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:10 AM

so you're a daywalker now :v

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:11 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 386] apparently? im not dead and i did a little hamon, so i dont seem to have all the traditional vampiric weaknesses from jojo

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 387] at the same time, its pretty low-tier stuff on both hamon and vampirism

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 388] i can make spin smoke bombs, and so can [oblivion]

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 389] and for like the third time in my life, i can breathe clearly

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:13 AM

and you sparkle!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 390] im just gonna. stay in bed the rest of the day i think. i can sparkle like a flamboyantly gay twilight twink from here lmao (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 391] i just thought of something. did like any of the vampires in jojo actually sparkle? cause if so good on them for avoiding the trope

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:16 AM

everybody in Jojo sparkles

that's just normal

oh hey i just noticed you can double jump

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 392] thats fair - and i need psychic abilities to do that, which at the moment only include [oblivion]

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 393] technically i could jump off it, but thatd be mean and a little tricky to time

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:19 AM

oh dang you can't use Hamon to solidify the air to do that for you?

cause that sounds like some hamon-bullshit you could do

given your training should apply

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:21 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 394] i can probably use hamon on water vapor, at higher levels, but i am both a novice and weak

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 395] spin is probably my most powerful ability right now, given [Oblivion] can use it

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:22 AM

a goal for the future

you will get that double jump

believe in the me that believes in you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 396] lol

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 397] i know the code for a jetpack, when i feel like making it and learning how to fly jumps become irrelevant

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:23 AM

but its cool tho

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:24 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 398] fair

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 399] with practice, i could maybe make smoke spin bombs big enough to jump off

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:25 AM

yoooo

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:26 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 400] would probably slip though

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 401] they are spinning

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 402] smoke opens up so much rasengan bullshit though

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 403] for now, though, mental health day begins here

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 404] decided to take a stroll in london

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:40 AM

which one?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 405] fallen london

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 406] i think i'm kind of growing used to it - i enjoy existing there in general

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:42 AM

the surety of immortality is nice

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 407] yeah, but on top of that i just genuinely like the universe, as horrible as it is

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 408] the strange geometries, the eldritch languages, the downright evil plots of so many people up and down the great chain of being, all of it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 409] i like being here

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:47 AM

it's simple

the world makes sense

and you're just one more oddity among millions

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:48 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 410] thats true

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 411] im going to have to figure out what the hell to do for the best possible outcome to this place

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:50 AM

Rule over it from the shadows

make sure the worst crimes are punished

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:50 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 412] the universe in general i mean

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 10:50 AM

Oh it's doomed

right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 10:50 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 413] not necessarily, though it'll be tricky to go through

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 414] i have some ideas, not many of which i can perform at this stage of things

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 415] one of them involves turning into a metaphysically important space bat

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 416] and resurrecting another space bat, or trying at least

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 417] i dont expect things to end too well for me, personally, but this place needs a lot of work, and if it helps enough people its worth it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 11:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 418] i'm gonna try and follow the Heart's Desire ambition for the rest of the day - i ought to be more than capable of working on it

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 11:04 AM

best of luck

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 11:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 419] Did you know that if you successfully complete Heart's Desire, and become Mr Cards, the rest of the Masters of the Bazaar have to come up with apocalypse preparation in case you take interest in the game again? I'm kind of thinking about that right now.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 11:16 AM

what does being Mr Cards mean?

what does the Job entail, I mean

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 11:22 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 420] It means you now have a metaphysical grip over games of chance - particularly card games. You don't play, you win. You stop being human, down to your thoughts, and you may well last for centuries or millenia. I'm not sure of the exact timescape involved. You get a significant amount of political and financial power from the Bazaar, as part of your responsibilities, once you're ready. I assume it means something in the Correspondence, the literal laws of physics involved in the Fallen London universe. You become part of the role, though I'd imagine you lose something in the process from yourself. The actual job description would likely place me in charge of most gambling in the city, though it could extend to divination - tarot and all. I plan on accelerating the transformation, so I have a chance of seeing it very soon, but it could be a multitude of things I'm not considering right now. There's probably more to it. It was never explored fully in-story due to the transformation taking a century or so from what I understand.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 11:23 AM

Good luck my dude

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 11:23 AM

(heh, weed number)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 11:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 421] Vriska's dice would be exceptionally lethal one way or another if I manage to become Mr Cards. I'm hoping that's the case, honestly, it'll make Worm significantly easier.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 11:36 AM

Oh yeah, with some good rolls on those you'll be able to kick some absolute ass

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 11:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 422] Parabola is nice this time of year, apparently.

(edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 423] I might ask the Masters for love, just to fuck with them. I know for a fact they can't just wave their hands and make love happen, despite the fucking nightmare that is the orphanage. It'd be funny.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 424] I should seriously familiarize myself with Parabola, honestly. This is a dream world where anyone can be an absent-minded reality warper, and peer into other people's minds. I know there are memories of the Masters' in here. It'd help me if I found them.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 425] Becoming a Master may affect my actual brain. I do hope my passenger can adapt. Ought to get some pretty interesting data from my physiology, when it becomes relevant.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 426] At this point I think I'm just rambling on whatever comes to mind, but honestly I think that's the best way to go about my day for now. How about you guys? I hope all's well back home.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 11:57 AM

I mean, chances are your passenger has some manner of fiat backing

So you most likely won't fuck it over, but it could be confused for a moment

I'm doing aight, I put off an RP thing yesterday because I was into some other stuff, and I wanted to continue it today but I have 4 hours of university shit to slog through

A fanfiction I like updated yesterday, which was cool. It's the start of the Leviathan arc and the MC is going all out for probably the first time in the fic.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 427] Is it Aces and Jokers? I'm doing a bit of reading when I can, I saw it updated.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 428] Saw that that one just hit Leviathan.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:04 PM

Eyyy!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:04 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 429] I wish you the best of luck with University, too. Never was a big fan of all the busywork.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:05 PM

Yeah, thanks. It's a two hour lecture and a two hour lab right after. Thankfully, neither of them usually take the full two hours, but it's still a big block of time I can't spend on other things

Thankfully, I only have two lectures and two labs a week

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:06 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 430] Oof. I'd offer my solution, but it was getting kidnapped by eldritch entities, and I'm not sure that'd work for you. lol

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:07 PM

I mean, you have internet and infinite food, so maybe I wouldn't mind too much.

Of course, you still have a lot of busywork. At least it's more interesting than learning about excel, though.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:08 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 431] Yeah, that's fair. If you end up in a giant concrete box with a house already in it, I can offer caramel brownies rather than excel spreadsheets

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 432] Don't forget to add 'relaxing' to your busywork is the moral of my story I'm starting to think lol

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 433] So you be sure to do that if you start getting burnt out, alright?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:13 PM

Thanks, I will.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:24 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 434] I'm gonna head home. It's about dinnertime, which means it should be about perk time.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 435] Either that or I'm losing a grip on time, which isn't surprising at all.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:26 PM

Yeah, probably a good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:28 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 436] this new power has changed how i look at the world and i dont like it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 437] I just got Bonesaw's power.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 438] I'm thinking back on Dio and all the zombies and I can almost feel the change in tone my thoughts are taking there and it's freaking me out some.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:32 PM

Oh Fuck

Which means you can get multiple shard powers, which is very nice, but that's a hell of a power to get.

Well hey, at least you're the world's best doctor now.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 439] I do not like Tinker powers at all I hate it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:34 PM

Oh Fuck Tinker Fugues

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 440] I'm having dinner and then having tranquilizers

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:35 PM

Yeah, that's a solid idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:35 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 441] Im trying to not consider opening myself up to see how the vampire bullshit works ill get back to you in the morning how im doing

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:37 PM

I mean, vampire bullshit is kinda biokinesis-related, so Chirurgeon will play nice with that

I think that's the name of Bonesaw's shard

Actually, do you get buds of existing shards? Who knows.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:38 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 2 - 442] It's the name Valkyrie gave it, like Eidolon's Emergency Resources shard becoming High Priest.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:38 PM

Ah cool.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:48 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 1] I have good news: I can now turn my pain receptors down to low. Bad news is that's necessary.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 2] Also I have meat spiders and I can't remember where I got several of them.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 3] I hate

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 4] Theres a new door im gonna get some water and type

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:51 PM

Oh dear

The perk seems good, though

Nice for exploring space

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:53 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 5] I feel wrong

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:54 PM

I mean, you could probably take a look at what you did, if it bothers you too much

I wonder how tinker powers will react to alchemised BS

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:56 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 6] I'm not fond of the idea of dissecting myself again, im pretty sure I did half of what I did in fallen london so I wouldn't need to seriously worry about dying. I think I did once or twice

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 7] I dont like this passenger

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 12:56 PM

Yeah, Fallen London is a good place for that

And you can probably keep from fugueing if you use it enough

Give it [Data] and it won't fuck with your head

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 12:58 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 8] Yeah, not too surprising, that. This is probably the worst possible introduction I couldve had to biotinkering that could be considered beneficial

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 9] Im not sure I lasted five minutes before it decided I was too squishy and decided to try and fix that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:00 PM

Man

Well, at least you're less squishy now

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 10] I could probably take some sustained gunfire now if I had to guess, but it'd still be good to avoid it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:01 PM

Ooh that's good

Nice to have some last resort defenses

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:02 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 11] I probably have some other things, i can feel something coiled up in my forearm right now

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 12] If I had to guess theres a thousand different things biologist shard wanted to check out and add (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 13] I'm vaguely familiar with transistor, and as it happens, I got literally the worst possible tinker power to help deal with it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 14] And the option to hurt the metaphysics of whatever universe I go to

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:06 PM

Do I hear combat tentacle?

Oh, does the metaphysics thing toggle separately in each universe?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:08 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 15] It feels like I got stabbed with a tree branch there or something The metaphysics toggle put a light switch next to each door with 'on' and 'off' labelled pretty clearly, from what I can see, so yes

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 16] I could wreck worm with this

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 17] A flick of the switch and suns and black holes and space are all fighting against all the entities

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 18] Not even touching that today, that has so good a chance to go bad its not even funny

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:11 PM

So the perk adds Fallen London stuff to other worlds?

And yeah, good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 19] I think so?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 20] On-demand eldritch horror. Great.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:12 PM

If the Green Sun exists in Sburb, that is also A Thing.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:12 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 21] Jesus, I don't want to touch that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:12 PM

Yep.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:13 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 22] It's bad enough that it's a narrative-warping object of power on it's own, I am not giving it an alien, malevolent mind

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:13 PM

...Is the Fallen London one currently on?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:13 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 23] Yes (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:13 PM

Oh Fuck

You could straight up just turn it off if you wanted

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 24] I mean, it could just be the perk saying 'This is how things work there by default' since none of the others have that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:15 PM

Let's hope so

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:15 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 25] A train just appeared near my house

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:15 PM

A train?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:15 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 26] Yeah, like the front part of an old-timey one, with the smokestack and stuff

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 27] Looks kind of different

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 28] I think this is a sunless skies thing

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:19 PM

Huh

Ooh, Signal is interesting

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 29] It's occasionally useful trivia, so yeah

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 30] Honestly I was kind of concerned that this was just more brain surgery

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:24 PM

Ah. Well, at least it wasn't an entire implant, like Joe got

Wait, do you know Brockton's Celestial Forge?

You said you didn't know what Jumpchain was, right?

For context, Joe is a fanfiction protagonist

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:26 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 31] the name rings a bell, but details aren't coming to mind. i think it was something like a cyoa story, power manip + inspired inventor?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:27 PM

Huh, was it a CYOAV1 fic in your world? That kinda makes sense.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:28 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 32] i remember liking it and kind of forgetting about it. why do you ask?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:30 PM

In this world, it's a Jumpchain crossover.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 33] So, the sort of shenanigans I'm going through.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:30 PM

Yeah, except he's stuck in one world.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:31 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 34] One with plumbing i'd hope, lol

Yeah, he's native to Worm.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 35] oh

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:32 PM

So modernish day

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 36] That's concerning

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:32 PM

Imagine if you ran into him somehow. That would be kinda fucky.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:33 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 37] You're telling me. I hope I don't, honestly.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 38] Not really sure what his temperment would be with the stuff I have, I'm already on the morally dubious sliding scale

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:35 PM

Yeah, maybe not a good thing. He's not the most morally upright, and he works with villains, but if he existed you'd probably want to stay away from him.

Just in case.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 39] I remember he had a thing against biotinkers, so now is literally the worst time for that lol

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:37 PM

I mean, I doubt he'd be too hard on you since you didn't choose to get it

He's technically a biotinker too, but he stays away from it.

He also understands shard bs, so he'd understand the tinker fugue thing too. (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:38 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 40] Good to know

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 41] I'm starting to think some of the modifications my projection got were replicated into me, I accidentally found out how to make claws

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 42] This is the worst possible day. My superpowers turned me into a furry.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:40 PM

I can't believe your own power kin assigned you furry.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:41 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 43] My power: "You're going to brazil"

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:42 PM

I mean, you could absolutely get a door straight to Brazil at some point

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:42 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 44] And now my friends are supporting my power, I'm being bullied lmao

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 45] okay, no longer having a massive crisis over this, the issue is averted for now

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 46] just needed a good laugh

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:43 PM

Us, your power, and you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:44 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 47] im shaking and crying from the power of that

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 48] speaking of powers though, since you have the documents about this jumpchain stuff and i dont, what sort of powers could i end up getting from worm? im kinda curious

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:45 PM

There's 48 powers, mostly based on existing ones

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 49] holy fuck

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 50] that does not spell good signs for my brain i think

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 51] im gonna have to figure out how to safely move the part of my brain responsible for my powers if im potentially able to get 48 of them

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:47 PM

~~Turn yourself into a brain in a jar to be carried around by [Oblivion]~~

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:47 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 52] no.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 53] as practical as that could be, i absolutely refuse to go around mannequin-meets-siberian style

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 01:49 PM

transistor huh

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 54] yep. its eldritch, but sci fi

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 55] i get an error when i try to open that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 01:50 PM

Shit

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 56] it may be that direct jumpchain resources are being blocked?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 57] ive decided to review what all ended up in my body using spin, since i remember that from the manga

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 58] oh my god it feels amazing

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 01:54 PM

aight so the biotinker perk you got sounds like a bonesaw but better

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 01:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 59] A less limited variant of Bonesaw's shard, maybe.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 60] I'm interested in getting a good look at some Parabolan animals now. Some of the Masters, as well. I'm pretty sure Mr Wines fucks, so there's an opportunity there.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 61] If I can replicate their bullshit, learn the Red Science, then I don't even need to bother with the Heart's Desire stuff in the first place.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 62] I know for a fact that biological immortality is possible for Masters, Mr Hearts was able to crack it. I may be able to do something similar, I have a few ideas...

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 63] Side note, the moment I start diving into tinker-talk on here my messages stop going through, so I'm being censored for some reason.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 02:03 PM

Huh

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 64] I'm going to assume whatever brought me here wants me talking clearly with you guys

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 65] And just leave it there

Dubiously Motivated Pika 26-Nov-20 02:06 PM

Yeah. Just advice and nothing else.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 66] So it seems like improvements I make to [Oblivion] via bio-tinkering don't stick if I desummon it. Pain doesn't translate well when mine's at it's lowest setting, though, which helps.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:25 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 67] I think I'm also noticing some kind of mini-shaker thing, like what Armsmaster had, when I get to bio-tinkering. It's helping my body not reject anything I put in it.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 68] Probably a few other things as well, but that seems to be the primary feature of that.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 69] The spin is really useful for medical practice, I'm finding. I'm pretty sure these tweaks I made on the fugue tune-ups I got won't even leave scars.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:29 PM

so the parahuman powers you could get are: Miniaturization and Efficiency - armsmaster, but better Programming and Computer Science - all the computer. Reverse Engineering - make other peoples tech Enhanced Mastery - learn things stupid fast, uber but better Contractor - give people powers Iterative Improvement - dauntless Complete Arsenal - poor mans ediolon Quantum Evolution - crawler, but not permanent Imaginary Form - shapeshifting with reason Assimilation - anything non living. Inorganic Avatar - become a living golem Path To Victory - you win Inference Engine -lisa/ tattle tale Compounded Computation - the harder the task, the smarter you get Mathematical Calculation -your power is all the math Geist -be a ghost, posses people Memory Blanking - ashia/imp Relationship Modification - heartbreaker Sensorium - make fields that you can control the senses of people in Queen Administrator - taylor Boogie Manimal - make fog monsters Thought Implantation - you are psychic, and can implant conscious or subconscious thoughts Biosculpter - amy/ panacea Stasis - denis/ clock blocker Corrosive Contact -shiguraki from mha, aka bad touch Decoy - tag someone and shove anything that affect you onto them Power Well - shoot fire, kinetic plasts, lighting, fly etc. Sting - flechette/foil Ballistic Transmission - touch something and have it go flying at mach speeds Stellar Fusion -create small suns Personal Force Manipulation - accelerator, short range Energy Shadow - absorb all energy all the time, get stronger and heal faster, release in bursts Soft Physics - cartoon physics Phase State - near invisibility + near no-clip Alexandria Package - flying brick Warp Spasm - become a warp daemon temporarily Internal Charge - stay still to charge 5 seconds of star power Browbeat - personal biokinesis, protective force field, tactile telekinesis Topography Manipulation - vista

Orbital Lock - lock something's position reletave to something else. Gravity Manipulation - manipulate gravity Air Control - air bender, like from avatar Doormaker - make door shaped portals Transporter -PtV as long as it involves geting from point a to point b Friction Modulation - change how friction works Blink - 200 yard teleport

these are the powers you could get

from worm

so if you keep getting worm powers these are a rough idea of what to expect

probably random

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 70] Holy shit.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:32 PM

yeh

ptv could be on the table

or STING

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 71] Does Alexandria Package freeze my body like it did Alexandria? Because that could be very bad.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:33 PM

nah, but it does enforce the manton limit onto powers that try to fuck with you

even the ziz

so no time stoped bod

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:33 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 72] Oh damn. I could potentially lolnope big bird.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:34 PM

yeh

cause you got OCP

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 73] What would be great is if it can't detect me through it's telekinetic abilities either, I have no clue how that works.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:34 PM

alexandria package would make the endbringer have to throw things at you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:35 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 74] I'll certainly be praying for that. Though I'm not entirely confident I'll end up with it, come to think of it. All my powers have had something of a theme this far, I think

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:35 PM

honsestly soft physics might be the best for survival my dude. cartoon physics is no joke

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:35 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 75] That's an oxymoron

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:35 PM

true, but still

it would be needed if you get a cartoon world

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 76] coughs at jojo

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:36 PM

cause you might not get that natural cartoon physics they are born with

eh true

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 77] I'll figure out how to replicate anime physics!

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:36 PM

you did get anime brain when fighiting dio (edited)

yeah soft physics would let you go full on jojo

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:37 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 78] god i hope going to anime universes won't make me dumb for existing in them

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:37 PM

i recomend you get some more stuff from jojo's before going to worm. make that your cape identity

yeah anime brain sucks

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:39 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 79] I think I've figured out how to make my vision telescopic and microscopic. It's kind of trippy.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:40 PM

neat! have you goten any doors after the 7 jojo doors?

also telescopic vision

ultimate sniper

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:40 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 80] Transistor door, that's it though. I might get another door in about an hour though. Woke up at 9, it's like 11 now.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:41 PM

ah, good ol transistor

love that game

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:41 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 81] Ironically, any other tinker power would've probably helped out a bit more with the Process.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 82] The one tinker trick I get and it's just good for escaping the airship.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 83] Actually, now that I'm in a good mood, I should probably do that. Can't waste it sitting around, now can I?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 84] If it's like Henry Stickmin's airship, there should be a tank in the loading bay I can use to get the hell out of there!

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:46 PM

now that i think a bout it, that theme you mentioned sounds like it revolves around vilainy

i mean you got the crime lord, bonesaw,

do better science when you disregard morality

blood vessle needle

like your benefcator seems to have a set theme

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:47 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 85] I'd say misdirection and intel-gathering, at the very least, given Signals is pretty innocent and Hamon is a pretty tricky tool when used right. Maybe some invention stuff, to make Tasks fit in better.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:48 PM

if you start getting transistor functions

you probably will get mask

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:48 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 86] Probably. It could also leave me to try and make functions on my own. That'll be a can of worms I'll deal with later.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:49 PM

jaunt + mask + spark is best combo

disapear with a nasty suprise

anyhoo how is the among us turning out?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:51 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 87] It's going pretty good! Honestly, I could've probably done this ever since I got sensory-blocking stuff from Jojo, but I'm feeling much better with all the protections I have in place.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:51 PM

you gonna be the impostor?

lol

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:52 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 88] I'm just kind of taking an enthusiastic walk through the ship while jamming out to some tunes. I've noticed a few dozen people here, so I think I can confirm that this isn't an ordinary among us crew.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 89] Again, all signs point to normal Henry Stickmin stuff. Heard a few of these guys talking about some guy that caught bullets on a prison breakout (according to rumors), I think they want to recruit Henry.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 90] ...I can't bring down the airship, or that fucks the timeline, doesn't it? Shit.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 91] That is quite the pickle.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:55 PM

i mean how invested are you in the timeline?

not like you live there

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 02:55 PM

Maybe can you do some biotech to make your body tough enough to survive the fall?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:56 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 92] I'm not. The Center for Chaos Control kind of is, though. I don't think I can take on a mecha, or a black hole bomb, or anything like that. As for the fall, I'm stealing a tank. They'll probably notice and land to get it back, but that buys me a safe way down and time to escape to civilization.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:56 PM

or have oblivion glide you down?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 93] Oh my god I'm an idiot, I'm overcomplicating things, thank you for that suggestion

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:57 PM

the wings should be strong enough

from all the hunting

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 94] You made it at just the right time, I'm opening the loading bay ramp right now.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 02:58 PM

GERONIMO!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 02:58 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 95] this isekai empty. YEET

Esprit 26-Nov-20 02:59 PM

so, whats the ground like?

is there ground or ocean?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:00 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 96] I damn near dropped my phone lmao Seems to be forest, I can see a city in the distance from up here, also a big-ass river and a mountain range, plus some grassland a ways off from me

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:03 PM

I'd aim for the trees

follow the river to the city?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:04 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 97] That's the plan. I'm putting this in my pocket so I don't drop it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 98] Will text once I'm on solid ground

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 99] Okay, I'm down now. I was able to use how high up we were to our advantage for some speed boosts to get to the outskirts of town. The keycard shapeshifted into an ordinary key, which is pretty interesting. I say 'Ordinary' but it's like a novelty key that has an LED light in it.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:12 PM

neato

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:13 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 100] So, that's Henry Stickmin solved. I can officially check out.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 101]

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:16 PM

Now you just need Any Door an Stickmin is basically just a normal if cartoon physics world

Stickworld?

Stickworld

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 102] I might see if I can abuse the multiverse factor once I get time manipulation. For now, celebration!

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:18 PM

hey

you got a power that fucked with metaphysics, right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 103] One with a ten-year toggle in case I don't like what it does, yes.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:19 PM

just went to doubble check that, yikes

use it if you are in troubble though

like, about ti die kind of troubble

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:20 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 104] I'll consider it, at least. It could cause more trouble than it solves, is part of the issue. I might use it in Gold Morning, desperate world-ending events.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:20 PM

saying fuck you to metaphysics is a good way to throw gods off balance

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:20 PM

I'd use it somewhere you don't care about?

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:21 PM

yeh

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:21 PM

Unless it follows you

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:21 PM

probably follows

seems to be treated as post jump

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 105] I do have like, 7 different Jojos I can test it on. Assuming they aren't separate.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:21 PM

but if it follows you....

like i said, emergency button (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:23 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 106] I mean, just because it fucks with my enemies doesn't mean it won't cause me problems. I have to save the universe in fallen london because of it's metaphysics, and this lets me make the same problems crop up in any other universe.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 107] It might help with Transistor, but Transistor is in bad shape as is.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:24 PM

Transistor is...a giant simulation isn't it?

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:24 PM

one that is colapsing IIRC

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:25 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 108] It'll probably put me in the simulation, since that's the most interesting place, and if I recall rightly, you guys said the people behind jumpchain stuff do this for entertainment yeah?

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:25 PM

Yes

Or your suffering

depends on the entity in question.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:26 PM

yep

remember this one poor sod

who got sent on the chain for triloins of years

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:26 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 109] Cool. I'm going to panic and lie down.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:26 PM

and each jump was a gauntlet (edited)

but you would know right away if it was one of them

the cruel ones aren't exactly sublte

and tend to be all haha your suffering amuses me

so it is most likey a neutral one

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:27 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 110] I'm going to invent anti-anxiety medication.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:27 PM

good idea

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:27 PM

have a good cuppa

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:27 PM

at least you dont have asthma anymore

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:28 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 111] I had a lot more health problems than Asthma tbh, they were all small problems like kind of bad eyesight but they are all gone now, I am happy about that.

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:29 PM

Oh did you do something for that?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:29 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 112] Yeah, I think I replaced my eyes or something.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:29 PM

like the R.O.B.s come in 3 catagories, benefactor, being, and bastard. you probably dont have a bastard over you, they like to show themselves at the start to tell you your fate, so it is either being or benefactor

also you would of had drawbacks shoved at you if it was a bastard

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:30 PM

with the Edgelord theme, I'd guess Being

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:30 PM

like OCP would not have been given

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 113] Concerning. But probably fine.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:30 PM

yeah brobably being

they are neutral

pick you up, give you a path, and just watch.

no taunting, no cookies

just observers

so yeah you good

honestly the CCC is a bigger threat

if they can go to the other worlds you have visited

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 114] Yeah. I can probably just chill if they're limited to Henry-land.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 115] If not, Fallen London is probably already levelled.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:33 PM

but would it stay leveled?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:33 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 116] Yes.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:43 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 117] New lunch chapter, getting it wrote.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 118] New door too, jesus. Not looking forward to finding out what's connected to the 'nightmare' chapter.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:52 PM

So nightmare chapter, those powers tho

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:52 PM

so where are those guys?

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:52 PM

Bodyguards, and now you got some Eldritch anti-information power

And have a terrifying presence

Yeah this kind of confirms the being behinds this has given your powers the spooky horror theme

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:53 PM

I wonder if being invisible helps or makes it spookier

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:54 PM

Oh tru

Heh suddenly the fog rolls in, then BOOM! [OBLIVION]

Yeah you are the monster that goes bump in the night. But the twist is, you hunt the other monsters

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 119] They came in through the horror door and scared the shit out of me lmao Apparently they're part of some kind of organization in their world, assuming I'm not a monster or hostile they're supposed to help and protect me

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 03:56 PM

Can you turn off the People can't look at you power?

because that could really get in the way

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:56 PM

Ok then. Can you give them some alchemized stuff? You could probably tackle sburb with them

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 03:58 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 120] Of [Oblivion], gazzer? Yeah but it takes some effort As for gearing them up, yeah, it's just items. main issue is the resource cost, and I can handle that. Will need to separate and ensure we can tackle the game individually from different places. Do want more help for this, though, I need a space player and IDK if either qualify.

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 03:59 PM

Could a stolen a space suit from among us

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:00 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 121] you've officially lost me

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 04:02 PM

Among us has space suits right?

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:03 PM

among us is apparently stickman

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 122] Yeah, Xan, you need to internalize that it's always been stickmin

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 123] Ive seen nothing from Among Us in there

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 04:04 PM

Got it

The book decieved me

Then the best song if you are in trouble in there is the distraction dance

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:07 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 124] Yeah I'll just rename the thing in the doc. Probably good to note that works that have serious easter eggs for each other could be one or the other.

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:09 PM

that said, stickmin has a bunch of wacky unreliable tech

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 04:09 PM

yeah. adhd did not help with my bean obsession

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 125] That's valid! Not touching Henry's tech, though. It runs off humor logic and is liable to kill me painfully.

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:10 PM

yeah. you'd want some serious metaphysical guns behind you before you risk trying to reverse-engineer that stuff and use it elsewhere

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:12 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 126] I think I'm gonna try to enjoy not teleporting into a Protoss's rectum.

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:12 PM

but the science! I didn't think they had rectums

weren't they crystal things?

I'm not that knowledgable of that U

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:15 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 127] Same tbh. All I know is everyone simps for zerg queen

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 128] I'm gonna avoid exploring the nightmare door in case it leads to SCP or something. I'll work on getting the agents some lodgings in fallen london

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 04:18 PM

sounds like a plan

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:18 PM

you could ask the bodyguard folks

if it really is SCP, you wanna do whatever you can to lock off that door metaphysically

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 129] I could, but IDK if theyd be totally honest

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:19 PM

I suppose we'd have to figure out the right question

they're clearly not Foundation folks. foundation would have a very different MO

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 04:20 PM

you could ask your bodyguard friends about it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:20 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 130] They do straight up look like the men in black

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 04:20 PM

was about to say

they sound like M.I.B.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:20 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 131] ye

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:20 PM

why don't you just ask whats up with their world that they were able to dispatch people through your door basically as soon as it appeared

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 04:21 PM

is it Control?

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:21 PM

O_O

Gazzer 26-Nov-20 04:21 PM

It might be FBC

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:21 PM

that would do it

that...

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 04:21 PM

do a general information exchange with them (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 132] i'll have to try all that, say its for getting an idea of their skillsets

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:22 PM

nah. probably not FBC

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 04:22 PM

like that you are exploring other worlds because of a vaguely implied goal from R.O.B. (edited)

Esprit 26-Nov-20 04:22 PM

they don't hold much separation between occult and science

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 26-Nov-20 04:24 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 133] i think im gonna try and disconnect for the day - ill catch up on any messages tomorrow, and update the doc once i see the last thing for the day, but i should try and focus on these guys now that theyre here

[Forged Esoterica - Day 3 - 134] take care guys

[Offline]

Xanderpy 26-Nov-20 04:26 PM

well imma just leave this little nugget for when you get back

two wizards were having an argument. One of them was saying that magic is produced by the person casting the spell. The other argued that it is drawn out of the air around them and the spell-caster simply acts as a focal point for the magic. They decided to seek some help. The two wizards set off to visit Drahn the Wise, who was the most powerful mage in the kingdom. They told him about their argument and/ asked how they could settle it. "Well," he thought. "You should draw the magic out of the air around me. If I can still cast a spell, then the magic comes from inside. If I cannot, then it stands to reason that I draw the magic from around me." The two wizards agreed that this was a great idea, and set about doing exactly that. Drahn the Wise picked up his wand and shouted, "Alamazara alamazoo!" A dove shot out of the tip of his wand and flew around. Drahn looked at them and smiled. "Well," he said, "I guess it just goes to show that the mighty conjurer is the powerhouse of the spell."

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:35 AM

[Online]

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 1] Alright, I'm back, ended up kind of sleeping in today and I'm sorry.

CodeRR 27-Nov-20 05:36 AM

No worries

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:36 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 2] Managed to record what all I got when I woke up today. According to my laptop, it's thanksgiving, so I hope you guys enjoy the holiday.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 3] Also got a few new doors to deal with, so that's fun.

CodeRR 27-Nov-20 05:39 AM

oh joy more doors and yeah thanksgiving, though almost no one is coming to mine so wooooh

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 4] Only two new doors, but one of them is fallout and one is probably aperture science, so... Yeah, not until I build up some specifically anti-radiation and anti-neurotoxin defenses for me.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 5] Is it weird that I think of Fallout as a low-danger setting? Most of the threats are big mutants and guys with guns, with some extreme outliers.

CodeRR 27-Nov-20 05:44 AM

Hm....well your not technically wrong? It's fairly low danger once you have the radiation and combat covered

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 6] Honestly it seems like the main threat to me there is getting depressed or even more thoroughly traumatized lol

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:45 AM

or alien interrupt

that is a distinct possibility in Fallout

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 7] Or alien interrupt, yeah. I do want to get my hands on some of that alien tech... Also F.E.V. I can only imagine how that works!

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:46 AM

fallout engineers managed some serious wizardry with vacuum tubes

it should be physically impossible for fallout tech to have as much processing power as it does

simply due to the baseline space requirements for a spark gap

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:48 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 8] I know, right? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around all that. It could be a low-level psychic effect carried by the whole human populace that's letting everything get more bang for it's buck, sort of like how my own tinker abilities work, in which case I may be out of luck if I remove it from this world, but I'm hoping against that.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:49 AM

idk. that would probably have broken when 99.999% of the human populace ceased to be

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 9] That's true, I'm pretty much spitballing theories here.

CodeRR 27-Nov-20 05:49 AM

Might just be how physics work in that world? Could be that simple

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:49 AM

my best guess is that its not actually vacuum tubes as we understand them

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:50 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 10] True, true, in which case I'd still be out of luck. I'll have to see if bioengineering can actually make sense of the ordinary engineering the place has.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:50 AM

we know they managed handheld nuclear reactor/batteries, which means they have nuclear physics down pat

however it works probably relies on some funky nuclear physics

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 11] I should be in luck, too - The door I got for Fallout looks like a vault door [like, interior] so I'll have a nice early look at some of the better tech there.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 12] I'll have to see which coast I'm on. East coast is something I'm relatively familiar with, but West coast has some pretty impressive hard Fallout science stuff, if I remember New Vegas's DLC right.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:53 AM

they might be taking advantage of the physics of electron decay somehow, which would break our normal assumption that electrons don't get used up by electronics and allow them to bypass a lot of things... possibly. I'm neither a computer-architecture expert nor an electron decay expert

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:54 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 13] That'd fit with how impressive atomic tech in that universe works, I think. Not exactly my wheelhouse but that gives me ideas on tune-ups I could maybe make to my nervous system. I need to get a look at the implants and such the Institute comes up with...

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:55 AM

yeah. hmm

their tech is based on cold-war tech, just pushed into atom-punk, right?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 05:56 AM

And cold fusion don’t forget cold fusion

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:56 AM

right! thats a thing to

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 05:57 AM

And energy condensation and amplification

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:57 AM

we know that their computers don't use up any sort of physical fuel, so...

huh

what do you mean by energy condensation and amplification?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 05:57 AM

And their programming isn’t to shabby either

The laser rifles

They condense energy in the little packs

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:58 AM

the hard part there isn't doing the condensing

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 05:58 AM

And later amplifies it with the body of the rifle

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 14] God, their laser rifles are absolutely ridiculous. Microfusion cells and all that.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 05:58 AM

Yep

And they discovered how to amplify it so each cell isn’t a one shot either

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:58 AM

we can do that IRL. we just don't have the energy-cells to power it or designs that wouldn't slowly melt themselves

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 05:59 AM

And that’s the impressing part

Esprit 27-Nov-20 05:59 AM

how would a cell be a oneshot? its a fusion cell, not a capacitor

if they can single-shot fusion like that, hmmmm

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 05:59 AM

Yep

Because they can regulate the flow of that energy

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:59 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 15] The main thing with the cells is the cold fusion, I think. You can straight up shoot those things and they don't explode, I think? (There may have been a mod that does that, my memories are muddled there.)

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:00 AM

They can explode

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:00 AM

are they rechargable?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:00 AM

Yes

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 16] They can explode with a little tinkering, har har, I know that much. They are rechargeable.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:00 AM

But they take is in a 4:1 ratio

You need 4 cells to recharge 1

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:00 AM

so, we're dealing with a reversible form of chemical fusion @_@

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:00 AM

Yep

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 15] Four drained cells, that's the important part.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:01 AM

Also true

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 16] If it's chemical fusion I could maybe make some bionuclear stuff to work with. That is bound to be... Well, horrifying, honestly.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:01 AM

and this is before people figured out how to do amino-based nanotech, so I can't even use that principle to explain how they catalyze it

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:02 AM

Fallout energy tech is amazing

Frankly I blame the aliens

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:02 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 17] Yeah. That's fair.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:02 AM

remember, protein networks are a fully viable way to catalyze things

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:02 AM

And there is also FEV and derivates (edited)

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:02 AM

you don't necessarily need to get into maximum biotinkering

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 18] I absolutely want to get into maximum biotinkering though. I'm kind of finding it fun, and a bit stress-relieving.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:03 AM

Don’t go the Master Route

That way only lays brain in a jar

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 19] It may not be optimal but it's enjoyable, and that's an important part. Definitely not going full Master though. I like being roughly human-shaped.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:03 AM

That’s good

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:03 AM

well, if you want to dive head-first into biotinkering

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:04 AM

Also try to not go full fallout bio Tinker

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:04 AM

then we can start getting creative

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:04 AM

Don’t make something you can’t put down

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:04 AM

.... but probably wait until you actually have samples to reference

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:05 AM

Frankly I would start with cloning tech

They have it and it’s good

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 20] Oh, I plan to go full worm bio-tinker. I have a lot of ideas for control mechanisms, remote neural shutdown options, so on and so forth, in case any of my creations get rowdy. I also plan to neuter them all manually, so no need to worry about reproducing abominations.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 21] I am 100% learning how to make Deathclaws though.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:06 AM

Okay thats a lot better than a fallout bio Tinker

And that’s actually good

They have pack instincts

You can modify them to recognize you as “Pack”

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:07 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 22] I wonder if I can make them sapient...? I recall in Fallout 2 there was a vault full of Deathclaws of varying levels of intelligence, you could even get one as a companion. Though that's more trivia to me than anything.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:07 AM

brb. need to do an experiment. time to stop procrastinating

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:07 AM

EXPERMENTATION

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:07 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 23] Fair point, I'm gonna head on in there with my laser swordgun. I'm having my bodyguards keep things in my FL home secured.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:08 AM

Thanks to the medical tent you always have a lab

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:10 AM

Hey if they ask your name say “it’s Herr Good Doctor” (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:11 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 24] That's very true, but it is kind of bulky to carry around. I don't have nearly a good enough ability to mimic accents myself to pull off a Medic impression, though... [Oblivion] does, but it's all reflex. Hm... Actually, I could probably work on that.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 25] I think I'm over in Vegas, which is both good and bad. I know things over here are a lot more complicated than over on the East Coast. Things are only just now kind of coming together over there, whereas there's superfactions here. More resources, more problems...

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:13 AM

And there is the Dam Hoover

Which you arrived after or before the second battle for the Damm thing? (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 26] Can't tell, this vault is just full of fiends at the moment. I'm hoping before - I want to go over to the East Coast and loot D.C. before the Lone Wanderer can. Maybe blow up Raven Rock, too.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:16 AM

Okay then you are in vault 3 (edited)

Near camp McNamara

Of the NCR

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 27] Yeah, I'm aware, I've played through most of the main story of New Vegas a few months ago. Might swing by Jacobstown, see if any Super Mutants are there.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:18 AM

This means you can collect the reward for the three idiots near hear

This would give you 1500 caps to start

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 28] Assuming the NCR is set up.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:18 AM

If it’s occupied they are set up

They were trading first with the inhabitants then the fiends came and took over

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:19 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 29] Hm. Good to know. Seems like I won't be looting D.C., then.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 30] Boston is still an option, though.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:20 AM

True

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:22 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 31] vaults irradiated brb

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:22 AM

Thats fallout for you

There is always radiation

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 32] fucking fallout

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 33] Okay, so, taking into account everything, why is the Fiend vault irradiated?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 34] Medical tent has Radaway, nice. I can alchemize more of it later.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:26 AM

Is mostly ambient radiation

Fallout world is one adapted to it so only great dosis are noticed by the survivors

But you aren’t native

You are a modern man thrown into this world

So all the closed spaces are microwaves for you or something similar

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 35] I should probably explain- I heard some clicking from a body in one of the halls as I wandered, from a pretty recently dead vault resident I think, which tipped me off to the fact something was up. Was their reactor leaking or something?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 36] I mostly just got the hell out of there once I started hearing geiger counter noises, so I couldn't really investigate.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:30 AM

Okay that’s probably it

They were forced to open the vault

Don’t know why but that the most likely reason

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:31 AM

you might want to go back in

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:31 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 37] I'm going to beat my head against a wall. This is the second time a new door has lead me into serious danger.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:31 AM

geiger counters tend to always be beeping

if one isn't beeping, then it is broken

so you might want to get one of your own and verify that its actually more irradiated than default

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:32 AM

Also true

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:32 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 38] Shit, really? I didn't know that. ...Might be my expectations from the game that made me run. I'll explore with [Oblivion] - no reason to make myself sick in case it is serious.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:32 AM

That’s probably a good idea

If it’s even irradiated there might be feral ghouls

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 39] I'm not even remotely worried about ghouls. I can dismantle them.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 40] Okay, so the body that ticking was coming from was a ghoulified Vault resident. There's definitely some significant radiation, according to their pip-boy, since I can see the needle isn't hovering around 0 like it probably ought to in that world. These things alert you to radiation as rads per second, yeah?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 41] Because if so it's not in my best interests to stay in there for a while.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:43 AM

not sure. AU geiger counter is probably very different from what we have here due to their weird nuclear science

we have a sensitivity knob on ours

I recommend you compare how it beeps under various settings both in the vault and in your warehouse

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 42] This thing says 10 is particularly dangerous (labelled with a red bit) and it's ticking away at a steady 2. Currently trying to remove the arm from it and decontaminate to see what it does resting at a baseline.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:46 AM

does Fallen London have conceptual cleaners so you aren't dying of cancer?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 43] I'm working on something myself, don't worry. Worm science and all that.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 44] I can explicitly cure all the cancer lol

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:47 AM

oh yeah the biology thing

dang you're basic a mad doctor with a horror ghost Dragon

hope you don't get a Spark

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:48 AM

"You don't look it"

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:49 AM

wait, when did you get Vendi Vidi Vigor

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 46] Today.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:50 AM

I wonder if you can figure out an ADAM-alike with what you have access too

I mean, given enough time proccing the Aperture Science perk over and over, you could, but without that

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:51 AM

no negative side effects too

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 47] It seems like it was a recent addition, or at least feels less 'settled in' than the others, so maybe around lunch? Oh, I plan on improving ADAM with FEV - I can almost feel the synergies that could come from that.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:52 AM

do you have any physical ADAM samples?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 48] I will once I start actually trying to gather it, it shouldn't take too long given how many Splicers Rapture has.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:52 AM

point

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:52 AM

Could you fix them?

I've always pitied the fuckers

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:53 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 49] Yeah, that's kind of obvious. My main issue would be not getting carried away.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:53 AM

It's an addiction that radically alters brain chemistry, so I really can't blame most of them

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:54 AM

you could probably also help the Little Sisters. there has to be a way

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:54 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 50] I'm pretty sure that the most severe users of the stuff just have significant parts of their brain half-melt. I don't know exactly how sane they'd be on the other side of things, but I can probably generally repair the physical damage if I use a hair of the dog approach.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:55 AM

oof

nicer then killing them

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 51] That's kind of the impression I'm getting from what I know already. I could be completely off-base until I crack one open and see what's up.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:56 AM

and you'd likely get wonderfully loyal employees for your new biomed company

to uplift the 1960's world of Rapture

you can save MLK

:V

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:56 AM

If memory serves, Bioshock infinite pushes ADAM stuff one step further and ends up with time/dimension shenanigans

so there might be a way to restore what was lost even if its been melted

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 52] Oh I fully plan on taking over Rapture. Bioshock 2 was stupid. Bioshock Infinite's time/dimension shenanigans were the result of a separate branch of science developed in Columbia. Quantum physics by the Lutece twins. The fact they had plasmids at all was because Fink abused the tech to rip off Suchong.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:57 AM

You might run into them

The Twins.

Just being what they are

scattered across Universes

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:58 AM

that sound interesting

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 53] I probably will, honestly. It'll be uncomfortable as hell. I'll also have good odds of running into Elizabeth, which would be unpleasant.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:58 AM

if that U has two branches of weird science

I wonder how many others there are

that were never explored in the games

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:59 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 54] Well, I know engineering got straight up steampunk in both universes.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:59 AM

they had a flying city

that should not work

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:59 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 55] Flying city was a branch from quantum physics - They were locking particles on a certain axis, I believe. Lock enough, and you technically don't even need the blimps, though I'm sure it helps.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 06:59 AM

locking.. on an axis?

I, uh

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 56] I don't even know man.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:00 AM

oh I must have missed that bit when I played

so much happened

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:00 AM

if you can do that...

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 57] Lutece particles were weird.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:00 AM

my dude, if there is even a chance that that tech is possible with their available tools

the applications are genuinely endless

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:02 AM

you however could use them as a better microwave

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:02 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 58] Cracked open the wiki, since I have a moment. Apparently, it's not locking it on an axis, it's locking it at an altitude. And buildings bob in Columbia, so their control isn't perfect. Still, opens up some options.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 59] Also, it was locking an atom there, not a particle.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:03 AM

so, its locking them to move along the grav-shell they're in

that is still absurd

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 60] Actually, reading a bit closer, I can't tell if it's an atom or particle. Yeah, it's looney toons logic here. (edited)

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:04 AM

ok. finding the actual stuff and determining its limits manually needs to be somewhere on the priority list

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:04 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 61] Yep. But I can't do that unless I'm in the Columbia universe, which'll require some timeline-switching abilities.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:04 AM

which means you need to find the girl, clear the debt

:v

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:05 AM

it it a separate universe?

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:05 AM

There's always a girl, and a lighthouse.

so yes

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:06 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 62] I'd rather not, honestly. Elizabeth is a messy tangle of issues and I don't want to mess with it. It has it's own multiverse, so yes.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:06 AM

huh

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:07 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 63] Okay, so I've confirmed that the geiger counter was picking up radiation in the vault. I've sterilized it, taken it through a couple other doors, it's stayed at almost zero.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:07 AM

(We are still in fallout or Bioshock?)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:08 AM

(Robin's in his warehouse, dealing with the geiger counter.)

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:08 AM

Dang Fallout is dangerous

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:08 AM

gotcha. how much radiation are we talking?

because they're messing with so much nuclear tech, their background radiation is probably higher than any of the other Us

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:09 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 64] Assuming it works like in the games, I'd say the Fallout door is in the middle of a vault that has ~2 rads a second you can pick up. Seems significant. (edited)

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:10 AM

you need a led suit

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:10 AM

ok, so you probably want a radsuit of some sort before you mess with that, for safety's sake

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:10 AM

Temp noir, shard administration, vigors, fallout narrator and aperture level inspiration. Holy shit I missed a lot

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:10 AM

or just pop open that medtent and invent an injection that hardens your genes to rads

you can do that easy

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 65] Yep. I'm already starting to work on a fungus that ought to absorb radiation a bit like a sponge and grow like fucking wildfire in high radiation areas, based on some of the ghoul flesh that came with the pip-boy. That might help.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:12 AM

is it eatable?

because that would also be helpful for people

living in a blasted hellscape

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:14 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 66] No, but it should help clear up areas with high radiation, I think. Maybe, with the right prep, you could do something with it, but I'm not sure in it's base form it'd be useful for anything but sponging up rads.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:14 AM

can you make it also a viable, safe, foodsource?

if thats possible, then O_O

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:14 AM

well, I know that sunflowers eat rads and metabolize it

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:14 AM

even if its just a viable fertilizer

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:15 AM

its why its so big in Japan

because of the nukes

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:15 AM

huh. how much of japan is still rad-ed up enough for that to be notable?

I imagine the fallout is basically gone by now, so it'd be mostly the fireball and immediate area

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:16 AM

two islands were bombed and they had a plant blow up like 10 years ago

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 67] I'd need to make them also produce something similar to radaway in order to get it down to a low enough level of radiation to be safe for consumption, which would cut into their growth significantly, beating the purpose. It'd make what should take it hours at the form I'm going for instead take years.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:17 AM

so, what you're saying is you need a secondary energy source

and an additional source of more exotic nutrients would help too, probably

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:19 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 68] It'd clear out radiation pretty quick, but leave it condensed in the fungus, which would then lead to mutations... Hm. Gonna go back to the drawing board, I need this stuff to process radiation fast too. I might make something separate to parasitize them and process the radiation from the plants quickly.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:19 AM

try looking into Lychen

that is the gold standard for what you're doing

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 69] You mean lichen?

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:20 AM

yea, srry

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:21 AM

Good old Mold

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:22 AM

you're probably gonna end up aiming for a macrolichen of some sort

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:22 AM

soft fluffy macrolichen

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:22 AM

If you are in new vegas big MT might be worth going to

If you can deal with the rads

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:24 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 70] Since I'm still having trouble talking about what I'm trying to do with this stuff, I'll just say this: ADAM is going to probably be my key to getting the literally explosive growth I'm looking for. Bioshock's coming first, I need to kidnap a few Splicers. Gonna check up with my bodyguards and warn them about radiation, then get to work on that.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:24 AM

you know

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:24 AM

Remember ADAM has psychological effects

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:24 AM

they're experts

maybe set them on the issue

tell them to blue sky some ideas

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:24 AM

Also if you do make the anti-rad mold then the war never changes perk might proc and you might get a narration of what the consequences of you doing that are

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:25 AM

Also true

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:25 AM

Because it says whenever you change settings

And you are constantly changing settings

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:25 AM

hey, you could totally ask your bodyguards if they have any recommendations for dealing with rads

you never know

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:26 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 71] One of them is an occult expert, the other is a skilled scientist. I... actually should probably let the scientist do this, actually. Tinker abilities are better when you have an actual base of knowledge to work off of.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:26 AM

yeah. collaboration time!

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:26 AM

And that’s probably a great idea

Good for you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:26 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 72] And thanks to Shard Administration, I can just pass off my Tinker abilities to him.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:26 AM

good ol Molder and Skully

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:26 AM

Oh shit new vegas, CAZADORS! Ad that to the goal list. Imagine taylor with CAZADORS.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:27 AM

idk

I'd recommend keeping the tinker power separate from the scientist

as much as possible

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 73] Why do you say that?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:27 AM

It can lead to a dangerous road

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:28 AM

tinker powers tend to fudge science a little, which could make it harder for them to properly apply their scientific expertise in the manner you're looking for

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:28 AM

Also you can give your spooky anti-info powers to people! You can make anyone a high level stranger!

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:28 AM

you have perfect control of his power

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:28 AM

Insta spy!

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:28 AM

Or probably because the Cazadores are terrific insects

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:28 AM

I'm not really concerned

you could Limit the Power to Just "Anti Rad Biotech"

and set them on the issue

for like...24 hours

and take it back

and get all the info they gathered, right?

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:29 AM

ooh! that works

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:29 AM

(has he done an info exchange with the guards about what is in the nightmare door? Don't want to ask if he has and I missed it)

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:29 AM

Great thinking Gazzer

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:30 AM

(he's talked with them a lot but has forgotten to fill everyone in)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 74] For something like this, I'm alright handing off my power to him. If it gets rid of the radiation, and I can break down the result safely, then the result is just that the area has no radiation. Let's-a-go

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:30 AM

Hey have you talked with the your bodyguards about the nightmare door yet?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:32 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 75] Oh yeah, had a whole conversation and such about that. I'll work on a Big Post on that in a sec

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:34 AM

Got it.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 76] Ok, so facts about their universes: -I'm like 99% sure it's based on creepypasta bullshit - they namedropped the Rake, Polybius, and a few other things. -They have a multiverse, and its mostly doomsday scenarios or hundreds of supernatural threats on a world -They're part of something somewhere between the FBC and SCP foundation called the Global Supernatual Response Agency - kinda generic name but I think that's part of the point -Basically, not-Cauldron with an ethics department. They try and work with what friendly or neutral supernatural phenomena they can, and one of them even lets them do multiversal exploration -I'm pretty sure this is their first exposure to other worlds that aren't actively fucked or have already been destroyed from horrific monsters -The door itself leads to one of the 'tamer' worlds - no doomsday cults who are liable to bring an end soon, just monsters that hunt singular targets, haunted video games, stuff like that. The place is normal enough that while there's a TON of urban legends, you still have a 49/50 chance of not bumping into one at some point in your life -That chance includes just discussing stuff online as something you may not do

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 77] so yeah, in their world you may occasionally hear about people going missing or getting killed in horrible ways on the news, but there's still decent odds outside of that you can live your life like normal

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:42 AM

huh

they probably have a lot of wacky science, then

~~intentionally missing the point~~

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 78] From what I hear, their attempts to blend occult stuff with actual science have been slow, since that tends to make actual Hell crop up

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:44 AM

That’s good to know

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:44 AM

ah, the Doom Issue

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:44 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 79] I've been trying to ignore the theological issues that brings up so im gonna avoid considering it until later

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:45 AM

by definition, it can't be the theological Hell I believe in, so

probably some form of elemental plane of creepypasta evil

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:45 AM

yeah my hell is one year with Sabbos off

then Heaven

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 80] I'm still gonna avoid it like the plague, regardless

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:46 AM

smart move

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:46 AM

(this is a real Jewish conception of Hell)

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:46 AM

(that sounds weird and interesting Gazzer. I'd love to ask you about the specifics sometime)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 81] Caught a splicer, and I have realized that I don't really have any restraints available. Gonna have to improv

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:49 AM

doesn't [Edgelord] have superwebbing?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:50 AM

Break his legs

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:50 AM

oorrrr that

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:50 AM

idk if thats necessary

do you have rope?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:51 AM

It’s a maniac that will kill him on a moment notice

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 82] It does have webbing, I'm gonna keep these guys secure until I have my biotinker power back

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 83] I feel kind of weird right now. I was kind of getting used to seeing everything like that.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:52 AM

you'll get it back

and with more Data

wonderful Data

you man shaped Shard you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 84] True. I'm sure shard buddies will appreciate being able to have 'multiple' hosts to get data from. I'm just glad I don't have Teacher's power.

Esprit 27-Nov-20 07:55 AM

not yet

but, yeah

you def want to have ways to deal with its... significant downsides before you getting it

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:56 AM

You have the prototype

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:56 AM

the unshackled version, more like

Teacher can't use the powers he hands out himself

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:57 AM

Also true

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 85] I'm like Teacher but PR-friendly. I mean, not really, but that's the perk in a nutshell lmao

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:58 AM

Yep

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:59 AM

you little minicycle

its adorable

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 85] I'm starting to think it was suppressing some of my squeamishness, too, now. brb

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:00 AM

oh yeah deffo

how else would you wet tinker with bodies

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 08:03 AM

By being in shock?

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:04 AM

or having the training to look past the dead body bit

and focus on the task at hand

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:06 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 86] Well, I'm once again not feeling too great. I'm gonna see if I can jury-rig some kind of collapseable door thing that I can use on the go. Maybe get a code for a collapseable baton and use it with a door.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:08 AM

good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:14 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 87] Made a capcharoid camera, and I have some serious ideas about exploits I could do with this. Apparently if you put it close enough to a screen, it thinks the image on a screen counts as the item itself, can't tell the difference between 2d and 3d.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:14 AM

yooooooo

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:15 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 88] I'm moments away from a collapseable door.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:16 AM

should be a collapsible vault door

so nothing else can follow you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 89] Got an ordinary wood one, since that's easier to barricade and doors can't be opened from the other side with my key in them. I can just kind of let the door fall on top of me and maybe glue it to the ground. then use a little pyrokinesis to melt the glue when I'm ready to go. Side note, this will probably be good for testing if doors are invincible with my key in them.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 90] If not, then I can just make it steel.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:19 AM

noted!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 91] What's a good bag for carrying something like this? It's about 3 feet by 1 foot when fully collapsed. I'm thinking quiver, but I'd like options.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:20 AM

I'd say a duffle

can you make one bigger on the inside somehow with alchemy?

then it could be a coat pocket (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 92] I can't make it bigger with alchemy easily, I'd need something that violates space to be bigger on the inside for that. Alchemy with SBURB is just combining traits from two different things into one bigger, better thing, on a budget.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:24 AM

maybe Fallen London will have something?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:24 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 93] They might, but honestly, duffle bag seems like the best solution here. It's practical, and the way I plan on using this door, I can brush it off as jojoian weirdness.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:25 AM

fair enough

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 94] Keep in mind that Fallen London's more supernatural stuff tend to have a cost involved. Normally that cost is explosions and memetic pain.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 95] Duffle bag acquired. And now I'm gonna enter the Steel Ball Run race.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:26 AM

Remember to check for that message (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 96] Oh, yeah. Should probably do that, once I get some pillar men countermeasures. I wonder if I have the right grist to make a UV flashlight...

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 97] Got one, but it was surprisingly expensive. Wiped out most of the grist I got from the Nevercold Brass. The thing is as big as my hand, and its got a few buttons on it. I'm kind of experimenting with them right now.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 98] it is stupidly bright and im in al ittle pain

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:38 AM

Not good

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 08:38 AM

Thats isnt good

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:38 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 99] Upper settings of the flashlight are POWERFUL FUCKERS

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 100] Can't say i'm entirely surprised, the bulb end of it is about as big as my freakin hand (edited)

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:39 AM

Attach it to something to give it focus and you got an anti vampire laser., Unless jojo vampires are less hurt by uv and more conceptually hurt by the sun

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:39 AM

Nah, UV does it

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:39 AM

Got it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:40 AM

A bunch of background characters strap UV lights to their backs to roast some vampires at one point

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:40 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 101] I'm gonna fuse it into my laser swordgun for better anti-vampire stuff

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:40 AM

NIIIICE

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:41 AM

Yeah, a UV laser is better than just a UV light

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 102] I'm also gonna try and get a DNA sample from a pillar man for later biotinkering

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:41 AM

Uv lasers are better than fallout red lasers, they have more energy

Good idea

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:41 AM

I think pillarmen are partially vampiric versions of a non-human species

And ultimate beings are fully vampiric versions of that species

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:42 AM

Make your entrance dramatic, go full on spooky mode with the nightmare perks

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 08:42 AM

They are a non human species

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:42 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 103] Bodyguards are in the process of tossing a bag of stuff through the fallout door, I'll go see if that's just them deploying anti-rad plague

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 104] If so, I could maybe figure out how vampirism works in setting by getting my biotinker powers back.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:43 AM

True!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 105] Here's hoping it isn't due to weird brain structures.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:43 AM

Also could the occult guy have usefull info on vampires?

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 08:43 AM

If you set them to study Jojopires, maybe?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 106] Occult guy's knowledge is primarily based on his own world, or so logic says, but it's worth a shot.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:44 AM

You could probably grab a stone mask

Figure out which parts of the brain it punctures

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:44 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 107] Yeah there were like, dozens around the pillar men in Rome.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:44 AM

When universes get linked though fiat backed things like the jumpdocs certain metaphysical aspects tend to bleed over between settings (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:45 AM

Actually, could you make a glass case with a bunch of UV lights in it? In case you want to keep an entire pillarman captive

Like what happened with Santana

Also, the stone masks were all with Santana in Mexico, aside from Kars' Aja mask

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 108] Fair point, Pika. My memory isn't perfect, must've got 'em mixed up. I don't want the pillar men kept alive, though, except maybe Wammu. They're either evil or batshit insane. I doubt Wammu would willingly surrender, either, so there's only one clear option. And I have one shot at killing them all when they're all in one place.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 08:49 AM

Have you checked the app for the message now that you have some pillar men countermeasures?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:50 AM

Yeah, the rest ain't great. Wham is more like Lawful Evil or Lawful Neutral.

He just wants to fight.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 109] I'm pretty sure Speedwagon isn't gonna text me.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:51 AM

He's very loyal to Kars, so he'd probably keep trying to go for Kars' goals, even once Kars is dead. (edited)

Pesterchum? Could be good to check for time travellers every once in a while

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 08:54 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 110] I did download pesterchum, but IDK if it's just me not being part of the normal flow of that universe or trying to avoid paradoxes or whatever, but I have nothing there. Besides, Trollian is the one with the time travel chatting features. It just happens to connect to Pesterchum well.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 111] I might get caught in a holding pattern of refusing to text myself due to the complexities of time travel. I don't want to die, and SBURB time travel does a very good job of murdering people. (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 08:57 AM

If you're lucky, maybe you'll meet a doomed time traveller who can give you some hints about who to grab

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 112] Anyways, back on to the current topic. I'm gonna head into the Battle Tendancy door and see what's up. I should get my letter pretty quick, I did ask Speedwagon have someone waiting for me there. I'm just going to go ahead and say this, though: I don't want to hear anything else about major time travel, like leaking info from months and years in possible futures that me knowing that info would retcon. I'm staying away from that due to the very high odds I'll fuck up somewhere and paradox myself to death. There's a reason Dave stopped.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 09:06 AM

Probably a good idea

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:07 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 113] Seriously, you guys have been kind of making me kind of uncomfortable with it, so I'm nipping it in the bud here. I might use smaller applications of time travel, like King Crimson bullshit, but I am outright planning to avoid major stuff, no matter how much it could potentially help me. It's like quantum suicide. (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 09:08 AM

Honestly, that's fair

Unless you get a perk for safe time travel, you might wanna hold off.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:09 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 114] Back to happier/more relevant topics. Not really seeing anyone from the Speedwagon foundation around in New York, though I'm certain he had people working for him at this point. I'm dressed pretty distinctively, and I've been out here a few minutes. I'll grab a chili dog or something and try to find Joseph.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 09:15 AM

follow the sound of fighting

should lead you right to him :v

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 09:16 AM

you mean follow the sounds of F L E X I N G

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 09:17 AM

that too

same thing in Jojoland

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 115] Found him, gonna take a minute and see if Erina remembers me. Kind of relieving that there's no indication this is the same universe thus far.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 09:18 AM

on the other hand, you'd have to kill dio again

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 116] Well, yeah, but I can just burn his house down. And kill the Grey Fly stand user while I'm at it.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 117] I know The World can't deal with a burnt down house.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 118] I just had a thought. Stands are from a space virus that affects the spirit. I'm a bio-tinker. This could let me break into messing with spiritual stuff through space plagues.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 09:22 AM

Oh Shit

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:24 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 119] That's going to be... interesting. Yeah, definitely that. I wonder if I can make a better Stand virus, or something to counteract it so I get a stand anyways even if I'm not able to handle it.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 09:26 AM

oh yeah!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 120] Erina doesn't recognize the name I gave. Either Jonathan didn't talk or I'm perfectly fine. I might be in here the rest of the day, so I took a second to ask one of the guards to keep an eye on the book, add to the google doc if it updates.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 121] One fear: Social interactions. I cannot escape

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 09:29 AM

F

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 122] I'm pretty sure the perks apply if they're seen by someone, or me, so this ought to let me power up remotely.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 09:32 AM

there is a name...everyone will know is yours

the fallen London one

the perk

it says they'll know

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 123] I'm trying to avoid using that, because then it becomes reflex to associate it with me. If they aren't thinking my FL name, they aren't thinking of me. I'm kind of stuck in the 'rogue' archetype, so a little discretion with the memetic knowledge that I'm so and so really helps.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 124] Besides, it's not a good way to judge if someone knows who I am. The name seems to instinctively click when I tell it to people, so any outside recognition is rendered impossible to perceive.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 09:46 AM

what was your fallen london name again?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 09:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 125] The Esoteric Explorer.

Yeah you’ve always had that

That fits

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 126] i just had a seriously anime moment. So you know that asshole that decides to be racist to smokey? Just hit him with a 'nothing personal kid' flashstep-style move and clocked him in the back of the head, hard, he straight up crumpled Feelin pretty great rn

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 127] Nah, he'll be fine once he heals from that concussion. Think he got off light, Joseph would've left him with a mangled hand

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 128] Y'know, speaking of flashstepping, I wonder if I'll ever get to cut a meteor in half or any of the other shonen bullshit ordinary humans in SBURB can do.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 10:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 133] it hurt a lot

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 134] i had my pain response at normal levels and i kind of blacked out in the middle of the straitzo attack

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 11:52 AM

You doing alright now?

A new perk?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 11:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 135] it replaced my eyes

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 136] i did get kind of shot and threatened by straizo

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 137] i dont think he put together that i wasnt especially vulerable to him so i kind of had to let myself get held hostage until joseph finished him

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 138] so my perks can replace my body parts

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 139] i have no control over that

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 140] what if one replaces my brain?? i already have proof itll modify it via my passengers

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 11:55 AM

I think Forges just do that. I don't think there'll be any perks that straight up make you a different person, though.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 11:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 141] just how sure are you about that

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 142] because im not sure at all

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 143] theres already a few degrees of personality modification im getting just thanks to my passengers

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 11:56 AM

the biggest change would be memories

like, a lifetime of being a combat engineer for mass effect

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 11:56 AM

Perks are meant to be things you want to buy in the jump. If there was a perk that fucked with your head that much, nobody would want it. Besides, there's also perks that cancel out that sort of thing.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 11:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 144] ...ok i can buy that, okay

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 145] im still kind of dealing with the adrenaline but ill live

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 146] i think joseph noticed that my eyes are a different color now

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 147] hes giving me a little space, i think hes worried im a vampire now or something. he knows something happened to me

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 12:00 PM

I mean, you could always try telling him the truth

You clearly have some pretty out there powers

[Forged Esoterica - Day 4 - 149] can tell him ill explain later tho

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 12:02 PM

Better than nothing.

Besides, you can still use Hamon, which helps the vampire thing.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 01:06 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 25] probably a tactic to try and endear themself to me - they didnt take anything actually important, and i can pick up another cell phone easily enough. probably didnt know that would be an Issue though. i spelled it out and got an apology though

Or you just kill a guy and I bodysnatch them with a side of teleportation. Go with whatever's more morally tolerable for you, I guess. If it helps, I won't tell you which it is.

Well what do you expect about fiat backed retroactive changes

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 01:51 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 42] honestly i don't know. time travel that doesnt affect the setting in the slightest, somehow? option a or b? something wildly divergent from what is supposed to typically happen? something i don't expect? it could be a lot of things, and i doubt i'm creative enough to predict them all. i'm not some galaxy-brain mastermind, even if i have a list of goals its hard enough achieving a few of them

And how are you doing in general?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:06 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 45] I can pretty easily get through the first leg of it myself. Gyro and Johnny are a little too paranoid to accept him quickly, so I'm working my magic there myself. I'll fill him in on what happened later. I'm dandy, thanks for asking. You doing well, too?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:06 PM

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:07 PM

That’s okay

So an idea how to deal with stands?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:08 PM

Soundman is just Sandman's real name. They sound identical in Japanese, apparently

Can you see stands? I mean, Gyro can't, aside from bound ones like Tomb of the Boom, and he managed just fine.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:09 PM

Is more that Soundman can be from another universe brought by Valentine

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:09 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 47] Huh. I need to read up on my Japanese... I plan on getting a blood sample from a stand user. That's all I'll need to develop my own, since there's likely some sign of the virus that gave them their stands in it. Or signs of the changes I need to make to unlock one.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:10 PM

Depends if stands developed the same in the SBR Universe from the prime one

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:10 PM

True

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:11 PM

In JoJolion it talks about sacred areas you can get stands in too.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:12 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 49] That's true. The virus is the thing I'm betting on, though. I'm optimistic it has a metaphysical component that lets it spread through mediums that a normal virus can't, like bloodlines. At least it has clear places it resides here.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:13 PM

I think there was something about a meteor crashing in the Devil's Palm? If the blood thing is a bust, try that.

If nothing else, you could just gank Polpo or something.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:13 PM

True

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 50] One way or another, Johnny will eventually get a Stand. He's a protagonist, after all. And since he can't feel his legs, I can siphon a little blood from him discreetly, should nobody else be an option. (edited)

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:14 PM

Pocoloco is always an option

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:15 PM

Pocoloco would probably luck out of it. Unless you could make it lucky for him, like by giving him something in return.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:15 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 51] True. I could steal a few hundred dollars, and offer to pay him for it. I still have some skills from Robin.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 52] That, and additional DNA samples will let me alter my appearance more accurately if I want a custom disguise.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 53] I wonder if I can get that dinosaur stand user... Were they ever signed up in the race?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:18 PM

Dr Ferdinand? I don't think so.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:18 PM

They are in the third track I believe

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:19 PM

He should still be around, yeah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 54] Found Pocoloco. This must be my lucky day, ha ha.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:21 PM

It is or it is his

His stand is actually pretty mysterious

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:22 PM

It sees the future somewhat, doesn't it?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:22 PM

I don’t know

I just know Pocoloco is lucky as fuck and his stand understands it somewhat

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:22 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 55] Got the DNA sample, and I hid the money in his saddlebags. Interesting taste.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:22 PM

Nice!

Stand time, babey!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:24 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 56] I'm hoping with the acquisition of a Stand, I'll be able to replicate the more blatantly supernatural aspects of Robin. The most impressive thing I can do is copy his flashstepping, and I'm currently trying to figure out how his Corona Pollentia and Gemma work.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:25 PM

(Which robin?)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:25 PM

(robin is the esoterica recipitent, adam is the one youre talking to right now)

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:27 PM

(Okay, and Adam is somekind of Alex Mercer)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:28 PM

(adam is basically a lower-tier alex mercer - cant infect others or plague it up naturally, can consume and imitate them. think the weakest outcome for alex mercer meets the thing from the titular movie)

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:29 PM

Okay that’s good for you

Adam now try to obtain the DNA of rope guy

And compare it with the Pocoloco sample

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 57] Mountain Tim, you mean. Should be able to do that once the Boomboom family becomes an issue, they'll all be together at that point. There will be a lot of blood then.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:31 PM

True

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:32 PM

also are you retroactively part of a jojo group right now, or does that happen when robin needs you to be part of one?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 58] Still, I'll see if I can get any during the race. The arm whip can let me make fast cuts that won't be seen. I'm not part of any groups right now, no. Robin needs to specify. Not to me, just in general.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:33 PM

Try to do stay close to the MCs

If I remember they win the first track

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 59] That was the plan, yeah. I'm also going to tell Zeppeli to not sabotage Sandman/Soundman, or he'll be brought down 20 places.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:34 PM

Gyro technically arrives first, but he's penalised for using a weapon

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:34 PM

i need to actually watch jojos

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:34 PM

To be fair everyone was doing it too

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 60] Part 7 isn't animated yet.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:34 PM

all my jojo knowlege is from cultural osmosis

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:34 PM

Just less obvious

Okay Xan, what you need to know?

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:35 PM

like i have a pretty good idea of the dio time stop fights from all the memes

like anything scene that has been memed

i know

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:36 PM

Okay basically this universe is search for Jesus zombie edition

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:36 PM

seriously i'm gonna binge jojo

ok then

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 03:36 PM

Jesus is a Jojo btw

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:36 PM

makes sense

oh yeah i knew that

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 61] All of Jojo's main antagonists past part 2 have had at least partially time-based abilities, a phobia of Robin's. Even in this one, Funny Valentine can access alternate worlds, parallel timelines.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:36 PM

oof

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:36 PM

To be fair there is a villain with time abilities too

Mandom (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:37 PM

Good ol' Ringo Roadagain.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:37 PM

A true man he was

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:37 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 62] I need to get a sample of his DNA. If I can replicate that, I suspect I'd have a lot of intel-gathering potential.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:38 PM

Yep 6 seconds without fatigue is absolutely broken

If Rodigan wasn’t as honorable he would have won the fight at the end

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:39 PM

so you can shift into people you have the dna of?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:39 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 63] Yes. I got some of Robin's from dead skin cells he's left everywhere and the results of his biotinkering.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:40 PM

Okay how much before the race start

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:40 PM

nice so when you can get some speedwagon dna so you can have best waifu on demand

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:40 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 64] About half an hour.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:40 PM

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:40 PM

There isn’t a speedwagon here

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 03:40 PM

My god why hasn't he Biotinkered sneaky animal forms for you to use

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:40 PM

He's in Battle Tendency

Lucky_Plucky21 There isn’t a speedwagon here

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:40 PM

like i said, when he can

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:41 PM

Okay

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:41 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 65] Because I appeared not too long ago and have been doing my best to get him to take a day off from trying to traumatize himself.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 66] I got the sense he needed that.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:41 PM

he realy did

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:41 PM

Oh yeah definitely

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:41 PM

That’s good and absolutely true

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:43 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 67] He seems pretty quick to panic and overreact, overall, but he has a lot to worry about, from what I can tell.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 68] It's not every day you get multiple worlds dropped on your shoulders, after all.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:44 PM

yep. and to have your benefactor decide your theme is "scary monster/ evil villain" as well.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:45 PM

To be fair the benefactor can be a bitch

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 69] I'm pretty sure it's not. I'm in this ride because it's giving me the chance to be the reason my species survives. Everything else is a bonus.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:46 PM

That good for you

So what are your plans for the future apart of “species survives”?

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 03:46 PM

it is, but robin's powers seem to be themed to be "scary"

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:52 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 70] Help out Robin some, settle down on a tranquil earth, have some kids, get filthy rich. Hopefully pick up some musical talent along the way. Some of those perks don't fit with 'scary' too well, but I'm pretty sure that's a discussion you've had before.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:52 PM

True

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:53 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 71] Sorry about the delayed response, someone kept trying to talk to me. Wanted to offer refreshments and such.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:53 PM

No problem

And that’s a good objective to have

And what he looked like?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:54 PM

One of those short guys with cartoon-y features I assume?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 72] Resembled the guy who I paid so I could enter the race pretty strongly. Short, had a visor, flat hair. Pika got it.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:55 PM

Okay the refreshments are tempered with (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:56 PM

The guy could just be insistent, but now that you've pointed it out, best not to risk it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:56 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 73] Honestly I'm pretty sure the guy's just insistent. Either way, I turned him down a while ago.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 74] They might be getting paid by the amount of customers they get or something. I don't know. (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 03:58 PM

Good point

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 03:58 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 75] It'd fit with the ridiculous logic this place has.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 03:58 PM

True

And that isn’t that crazy some places work like that here

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:00 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 76] Huh. Noted.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 77] It just seems ridiculous because this place has thousands of people - it'd be hard to keep track of who got what in this day and age. All the racers are being called to line up. I'd best get in position. I'll try to stay in touch.

...good luck

ヾ(￣▽￣)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 78] Race is going interestingly thus far. I have a DNA sample from Johnny, Diego, and Hot Pants. Keeping an eye out for more.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 79] I think I threw Diego off his game. He didn't see the attack, but he heard it. The galloping is drowning out most sounds, but a few other people heard the sound, too, as did their horses. The whip cracks if I don't aim it perfectly.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 04:24 PM

That is good maybe

You are gaslighting them

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:25 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 80] That is the name of the game, ha ha.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 04:26 PM

So try to do it with a lot more of mostly undetectable tentacles

Like mini tentacles

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:27 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 81] I don't want to do it too much, he'll catch on. And so will everyone else. And then I'll be disqualified.

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 04:28 PM

True

We’ll time to be discreet

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:33 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 82] I'm doing it to a few other racers, as well. Don't want anyone to feel targeted, after all.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 83] And done! That only took about twenty minutes or so.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 04:35 PM

Hell yeah!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 84] Once again, Gyro placed first, but I knocked his ball off-course pretty quick so it wouldn't interfere with Sandman. Let's see how that plays out...

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 85] It seems to be taking a bit for them to announce it.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:41 PM

something fucky happening you think, you decentralized meat hunk you?

it is

pretty sus

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:42 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 86] It's possible, but it could just be me being impatient.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 04:43 PM

...I just remembered that The Scratch is a Thing. So I guess if things don't go well, you could reset the universe?

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:43 PM

how long has it been for you?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 04:43 PM

Which is some Pucci logic, but

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:43 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 87] Let's not. A few minutes since we beat the first stretch.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 88] If memories serve me correctly, the Scratch doesn't just reset the universe - it scrambles it, usually for the worst for the people in it.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:44 PM

Yeah I'd rather not

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 04:45 PM

Yeah, it's a terrible idea, but it's There.

And if you find a fourth wall, you could use that to escape it.

Or just use the Warehouse.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:45 PM

like pressing the Metaphysics button

not a choice you make unless you have to

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 04:46 PM

^

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:46 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 89] There we go. Gyro wins. I'm gonna see if I can bait Gyro into repeating Canon.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:46 PM

what is that, by the way?

I'm behind on Jojo

like

last I saw was Stardust

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 04:47 PM

Horse race across America

Jesus is also there

The villain is the president of America

Dio is a dinosaur

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:48 PM

oh so normal

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 04:48 PM

For JoJo, yeah

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:49 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 90] Also, rotation-based Hamon, even more overpowered.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 04:50 PM

Oh dang

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:50 PM

Anyway if anybody is meant to die I'd go with having Adam over here eating them

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 91] Yeah I'd also go with that.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:50 PM

at least the brain

so all the knowledge doesn't go to waste

you can just needle and slurp up a brain like your making a mummy right?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:53 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 92] It's a little more complicated than that. I typically aim for the spine around the base of the skull if I want an accurate look at someone's brain. Then I eat it.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:54 PM

You need the brainstem too? those are just basic functions.

I'm surprised you need the whole thing

just given what you get out of skin cells

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 04:58 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 93] It's less about getting everything and more about not making a significant part of it explode with one hit. Near instant death gives me a moment to check things, get a more accurate read.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 94] A few seconds makes a difference.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 04:59 PM

fair enough

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:08 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 95] Well, that's it until tomorrow for the race. Now, to figure out what to do with myself until then.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 96] I think I'll wander, see what Stand users I can spot.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 05:11 PM

be something like a mouse

you can do small right?

swarm of flies?

Like what are the limits here

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:19 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 97] Conservation of mass. I'm not gonna turn into the Thing, here. No massive flesh monster without a source for all that biomass. I'm also not completely amorphous biological matter - I could maybe mimic a horse, or a very large dog, but a snake would take time to reconfigure myself, and a jellyfish is right out. It'd also take me a very long time to gain or lose an especially significant amount of biomass.

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 05:20 PM

the most boring looking person alive is your best bet then

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 05:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 98] Pretty much, yeah.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:41 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 99] what the ufck happened

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 100] I did things to help you out.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 101] we will be having a chat about that yeah

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 06:48 PM

I mean, he got you into the Steel Ball Run, so that's cool

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:49 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 102] yeah, that's true. i cant honestly think of any real complaints other than the fact i feel tricked rn, but i still feel tricked

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 103] so i shall complain

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 104] adam's back, im checkin em out for injuries rn and taking a look at some of those samples of dna

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 06:50 PM

Yeah, he probably should've communicated something with you. On the other hand, you really needed the break.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:51 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 105] oh yeah im not complaining about the break im complaining about the sneaky underhanded bullshit. ironic but thems the breaks

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 106] im allowed to be a hypocrite i just woke up

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 06:52 PM

You're allowed to be a hypocrite over your allies doing stuff beind your back

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:53 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 107] the stand virus is a thing and it is cool btw

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 108] ive got snippets of the sort of effects it has, damage and such, and i think i have a live sample from mountain tim here, but ill need time to work on it, so that's the rest of today occupied

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 06:54 PM

Ooh

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 109] i should also make a neural implant for communication with you guys when im busy with my hands

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 110] three guesses which is faster

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 06:56 PM

I mean, if you make a remote-controlled extra precise bio-robot, you could pilot that to help you work.

Or a pair of removeable arms you can take on and off

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 111] true, but im gonna have to find a more aesthetically pleasing design than bonesaw spiders. i ended up smashing the ones i made in my initial megafugue

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 06:57 PM

Doc Ock time?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:57 PM

Probably

It was a good design

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 06:59 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 112] i hate spiders

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 06:59 PM

I like the idea of beatles

they can look cute

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 06:59 PM

I prefer ants

little shells, big cute eyes

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:00 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 113] did you know tasks works on medical routines, including some tinkering when its just inserting implants?

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:00 PM

well, it its complex

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:00 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 114] i like the idea of medical octopi

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:00 PM

so that makes sense

soft robotics?

like Occ from Spiderverse?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 115] maybe, that sounds appealing

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 116] not sure how itd be firm/precise enough if i dont use any fleshy bits in its construction but i can adapt

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 117] and i just remembered i slept through dinner, and thus my last perk of the day

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 119] i have a massive chunk of a CITY in here

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 120] what the fuck it says it cant be attached to the warehouse but its in here

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:06 PM

In the early, heady days of Rapture’s glory, wealth flowed freely from hand to hand. Opulent creations were made to satiate the ego of the very richest citizens. And none was more of a status symbol than owning an entire section of the underwater city. You now hold the deed, keys, and security codes to a self-sufficient series of buildings and domes at the ocean’s floor that will follow you between worlds. The property is roughly the size of Sofia Lamb’s Dionysus Park and come with everything it needs to survive cut off from the rest of the world. An automated pumping system deals with any leaks, several Rosie Big Daddies are on sight to provide protection and handle any major repairs, and the lush gardens provide enough oxygen to support an entire commune. It even comes with a pair of Bathyspheres to allow access to the surface or transportation down below. While this set of properties cannot be linked directly to the Warehouse, you may add any properties you already own, or any you gather in the future, to it.

It says that it follows you

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:06 PM

Well

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:07 PM

you may add any properties you own to it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:07 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 123] it is concerning close to my house...

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:07 PM

also you have big daddies now

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:08 PM

Yep, soon enough you will have a thriving city state at the manner of Portland of SCP (edited)

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:08 PM

oh wait

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:08 PM

maybe have Malders and Kully map it out for you?

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:08 PM

new goal idea

gonna add it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:09 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 124] distinctly concerned about the fact it may have kidnapped and horrifically mutilated and brainwashed people but ill get to that when i get to it

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:09 PM

Don’t worry

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:09 PM

fiat backed!

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:09 PM

good goal?

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:09 PM

All jumpchain properties are defaults loyal

By fiat

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:09 PM

they were never people in the first place

until they were

Lucky_Plucky21 27-Nov-20 07:09 PM

So you didn’t brainwashed them it was the benefactor

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:10 PM

it was always there, but was it always there yesterday?

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:10 PM

so they came into existence the exact moment you were granted them, for this exact purpose.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 125] so i un-snapped people into existence, a horrifically mutated and mutilated existence

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 126] stand bs comes first. but seeing if i can improve their quality of life comes directly after.

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:17 PM

....

can you give big daddies a stand?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:20 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 127] i'm pretty sure it'd just kill them - not enough person left in there to fight it i mean, im guessing no, but i could always experiment if i didnt value their lives

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 128] unfortunately for you good old minmaxers, i do, so that gets a hard pass for now

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:21 PM

as a fiat backed existence, wouldn't they come back?

best you could do for them

I think

is help them be people again?

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:21 PM

its ok, was just curious if there was enough person left to get a stand

Gazzer 27-Nov-20 07:21 PM

Like that BD in 2?

you've got a few ways to do that

suffering

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 136] im still thinking about renaming it once i realized what the acronym was...

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Nov-20 07:43 PM

I mean, it's a stand (or a "stand"), posing is part of the job.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:43 PM

Xanderpy 27-Nov-20 07:45 PM

ooohhh that one

it fits

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:46 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 5 - 139] it does, from a certain viewpoint, but if i wanna get myrddin about it i could easily claim space whale magic and give up there

no gazzer change it back

science

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 27-Nov-20 07:47 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 1] Ok, so some real shit happened yesterday before i went to bed. monster slipped in through the nightmare door, looked like a dog from hell basically. lot of blood everywhere. bit the everloving fuck out of me, managed to tear off my arm before i put it down despite my reinforcements. [Cloud] got it before I did though. it kind of wrecked my house, so im gonna have to fix that. ended up needing to go to bed before i got done with Adam due to blood loss making me feel like shit (don't worry, I'm fine, we were taking care of that before i went to bed) just finished up with adam this morning, and i think i've isolated the whole stand virus from the blood sample of mountain tim we'd gotten. now im working on an antivirus remotely while staying in bed (edited)

That’s good

Have fun

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 04:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 3] Alternatively, it could just be teen me having found the door, but it's in the Esoterica.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 06:56 AM

oh no

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 4] cleared up a few things with my sburban counterpart, we came to an agreement about what to refer to him as in here. hes going with our middle name, lee. results for the 'doomed' part of the related perk inconclusive. upgraded him via biotinkering and tranquilizers. this kind of lead back to me working on adam, since hes still kind of incapacitated while i was working on those samples. did some anatomical research, he should be significantly more durable now and i decentralized his nervous system further

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 07:24 AM

Any progress on those soft robo tentacles by the way?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 5] none, i haven't even started yet. too many projects, not enough time

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 6] and things keep popping up that are outpacing my ability to keep up

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 07:26 AM

hence the need for more arms

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 7] i need more time, not more arms - too many cooks and all that

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 8] my stand antiviral research is about complete, im gonna try dosing myself with both soon

don't die!

doesn't suffering make your work better tho?

Lucky_Plucky21 28-Nov-20 07:36 AM

Good try to not overcharge your heart with the pain

you're also people

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:38 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 11] I now have a stand! And fuck if this isn't a weird sensation. Thank you for reminding me that I'm a sapient being, though. Wouldn't want to skew results with false assumptions, since this stuff can technically work on animals.

Lucky_Plucky21 28-Nov-20 07:38 AM

How it looks? (edited)

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:38 AM

So you have TWO STANDS NOW

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 07:39 AM

YES

Lucky_Plucky21 28-Nov-20 07:39 AM

Machine like, human like, or wearable

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 07:39 AM

A Boat?

Is it a Door?

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:39 AM

seriously you are a low level jumper at this point

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 07:39 AM

I swear if its a door

Lucky_Plucky21 28-Nov-20 07:39 AM

He is a high low level jumper

There is a difference

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:39 AM

Right, sorry

Lucky_Plucky21 28-Nov-20 07:40 AM

Don’t worry soon he will be making an Inter dimensional empire

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 12] It's really mechanical, but it has a lot of glass-y looking bits full of... neon? Mostly around joints but there's some tubes crisscrossing parts of the torso diagonally. Gonna call it neon but IDK man stands are weird. Has a silver-y look with the metallic bits, glowing green with the neon-looking bits. The face is definitely not human, just two dots near the top and bottom of its face, i guess it works for eyes? Also it has like, these curved sword things with green neon bits lacing the center, i cant remember the name but its like... egyptian?? greek??

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 13] also if i end up with an empire im gonna do my best to break that shit down, i don't like big leadership positions.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:44 AM

So a cyber punk tron looking stand?

And so far you have 7,300 CP worth of perks, on the cusp of a mid level jumper

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 14] jesus, really?

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:46 AM

Yep. 10k is basically ten jumps

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 15] and for all that, the most powerful thing i have is biotinkering.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:46 AM

And that is usually a decent mid teir jumper

Well you got your other shard powers (edited)

And all the memetic effects from the nightmare door

Those cannot be understated, memetic effects are BIG

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:48 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 16] well, yeah, but [cloud] isnt exactly a supreme powerhouse, and it's not like those powers are making me a powerhouse either. i'm very good at sneaking around, messing with senses, and mad bio-science. that's about it.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 17] hell, thus far i havent actually used them in any meaningful way.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 18] the same goes for a lot of my stuff, actually. i still don't know what to do with the staff i got from ben 10.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:51 AM

At this point I feel like those memetic see-me-not effects were given to you so you could fight with your stands and keep your real body safe. And that staff is high teir stuff. You might eventually get a perk that makes you a master magician

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 19] i already had something a bit like discount imp from jojo a few days ago. they're pretty redundant. i'd also like to point out that my range for [cloud] is bigger than taylor's range for her insects are.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 07:53 AM

maybe just carry that around

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:53 AM

Exactly. Fight from afar, well away from danger

And discount imp from jojo does not cover peoples with exotic senses, the nightmare perks do (edited)

So you basically have stealth 100

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 20] the nightmare perks are worse, i have to be detected or in their field of view for them to work.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:56 AM

Exactly, if they somehow get past the jojo perk, the nightmare perks will make it harder to record what little they see

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:56 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 21] so why all the extra importance on them? like i said earlier, they're redundant.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 07:57 AM

Redundancies are good. Especially when you dive into worm

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 07:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 22] that's true, i guess. i just feel like you guys are overestimating me a lot.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 08:00 AM

You got jump chain perks. Eventually you will get to massive cosmic power. It is a jumpchain thing.

Even the weakest jumpchain end game sparks grant powers equal to minor gods

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:05 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 23] as it stands at this moment, once i figure out my stand's ability, i might be able to take on lung, if i'm lucky. a practical area attack of sufficient strength shuts me down pretty hard the prt has ballistic missiles, and if someone gets a lucky shot off with a laser, that's it for me. that's to say nothing of exotic effects, stuff i'd have to run and hide from, so on and so forth. i may have a lot of stuff right now, but there's plenty i can't use right now, can't leverage for full impact, stuff i need to train to get any use from, while everything keeps piling up. cobweb duster, competence points, soul. hell, i'm texting you from the steel ball run while trying to figure all this out.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 24] i may get a ton of stuff rapidly, but that doesn't mean i'm able to use everything immediately. i still haven't touched ADAM research, barely scratched sburban alchemy due to not having a grist farm, still don't know the correspondence, and this is stuff i've had access to since the start. It's been like 6 days (edited)

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 08:07 AM

Yeah, 6 days is not a lot of time to adjust to jumpchain stuff. They usually get a lot more time to do so

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:08 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 25] i have timestop holy shit

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 08:08 AM

Wait wat

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:08 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 26] i got really worked up and things froze for like half a second

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 08:09 AM

Aight, new rule, when you figure out how to consistently pull it off, you need to shout ZA WARUDO at least once

For the meme (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:10 AM

Hol up gonna look that up. Still need to fully watch jojo's

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 29] im not sure what the hell is up with this but i doubt this is as simple as a straight up timestop

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 08:12 AM

maybe you're moving fast

or thinking fast

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 30] i was still moving and thinking at the same speed

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 08:13 AM

Accelerated personal time? Like bullet time but you still move normally?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:14 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 31] maybe? hard to say. i just dont feel like this is it, and since this is spiritual bullshit, im gonna keep that in mind

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 08:14 AM

oh okay

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 34] honestly i shouldve probably reversed the order of those

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 08:18 AM

Can adam safely get a stand? Or lee? Not trying to push anything, just genuinely curious if they would get the same stand as you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 08:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 35] adam probably can, lee would probably die without the antivirus. why do you think adam would get the same stand? hes a different person

Dubiously Motivated Pika 28-Nov-20 10:32 AM

You could probably pull a Davesprite and prototype a hatched sprite with Lee, that'll remove the "doomed" bit

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 10:45 AM

i know what those words mean, but not in that order

so i cant help there

Dubiously Motivated Pika 28-Nov-20 11:34 AM

In Homestuck, there's a main timeline, and every other timeline is a doomed timeline. Doomed timelines will never succeed. People from doomed timelines can travel to the main timeline, usually by going back in time, but they'll eventually die. Lee is a time traveller from a doomed timeline.

In Homestuck, there's also things called "kernelsprites". You're able to "prototype" it up to two times with any physical thing you like, whether it's an object, a corpse, or a living person. At one point, it'll "hatch" and become a sprite, and all the enemies will have abilities based on whatever it was prototyped with. If it was only prototyped once before it hatched, you can still prototype it a second time.

If you prototype a sprite with a doomed player, that player will no longer be doomed, and the player becomes the sprite. This happened to a guy named Dave in the web comic. So if a sprite is prototyped with something, hatches, and is prototyped with Lee, it'll become Leesprite and no longer be doomed.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 234] Maybe. But they could, I dunno, say literally anything on my end aside from like two sentences of preamble as to what the hell is supposed to be going on.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 235] I got beef with them, one way or another.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 28-Nov-20 12:44 PM

As awful as it is, benefactors in Jumpchain are generally agreed upon to be motivated by amusement. Some random omnipotent bastard probably thought it would be fun to just drop you in without any explanation.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 12:46 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 237] Yeah, I recall that being discussed before. I guess the most dickish thing I could do would be just turtle up and do sweet FA, but that would mean letting a lot of people die in the meantime. I'll have to figure out another route of attack.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 238] That's true. I'm not exactly comfortable in leadership positions, but I can take the reigns and hopefully deal with certain things without touching them personally. I don't have a Ben 10 door, sadly. I should... probably take a break in Fallen London. A prolonged one. It's the place I've found most relaxing thus far.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 239] Today's left me feeling sick, frankly.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 28-Nov-20 12:52 PM

Yeah, god knows you need some phat breaks

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 12:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 240] I'm gonna make sure my cardiovascular system is still good, given all the stress I've been under, then I'm getting a whole-ass cheesecake to eat.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 12:57 PM

yum

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 12:58 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 241] It's stress eating but honestly I Don't Give A Shit. I deserve something for all the bullshit I've been under the past week.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 12:58 PM

omg yes

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 12:59 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 242] I might commit arson too.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 28-Nov-20 01:02 PM

Both are excellent ideas. If paper uses the same grist you get from the fruit, you could probably alchemise some paper mache buildings that burn quick and bright.

Or just get a bunch of tomatoes to throw everywhere.

Honestly, you deserve more than one cheesecake for having to go through this.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 01:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 243] That's true, I do deserve more cheesecake. Was planning on burning down the evil orphanage, though. It's something I should have gotten to days ago. I can just do it a little easier now that I know how to build a biological napalm launcher.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 01:05 PM

put it in your arm!

or in an attachable tentacle

so now you can hadoken

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 01:07 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 244] Yeah, replacing the combat tentacle in my arm with that, once I have it down to an appropriate size that can be hidden in my arm. The idea I had was for something more artillery-sized, will take a little work to scale down while keeping most of the force.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 01:07 PM

Don't think about force

pressure is where its at

imagine a line of fire

that slices like a watercutter

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 01:09 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 245] That's what I meant, my wording is shit. I do want some spread, though, spread that shit like butter. (edited)

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 01:09 PM

Adjustable nozzle

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 01:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 246] Good point.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 01:10 PM

i imagine you could rig a set of muscle groups to do it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 01:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 247] Got the nozzle bit done, that part was easy. If I recall rightly there was a kind of beetle that generates something like rocket fuel as a defense mechanism, yeah?

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 01:14 PM

Bombard Beetle

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 01:15 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 248] Thanks.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 249] Anger-fueled alchemy makes anger-fuelled Tinkering so much easier.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 01:22 PM

have fun burning down buildings!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 01:23 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 6 - 250] I will, thanks!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 1] So I may have pissed off Mr Fires with [Cloud].

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 2] On the plus side, I have his DNA to play with, on the minus side, I may have drawn a bit of heat, ironically

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 3] Side note I haven't slept. UNLIMITED SUGAR RUSH

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 4] Get back home, you now have an evil mansion.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 02:39 PM

yo what

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:39 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 5] what

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 6] Did I stutter?

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 02:39 PM

you deffo have a theme

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:40 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 7] starting to hate this theme

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 8] Someone hit a dimmer switch on the Warehouse lights. It's now officially creepy in here.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 02:42 PM

OH DARKEST DUNGONS

OH BOY

You have a cursed town now

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:42 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 9] why, and i cannot emphasize this enough, the fuck

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 02:43 PM

The Manor itself is a seat of great power, and will always sit at the epicenter of cosmic power and focus.

Oh but you do have a cool ghost

At once a mentor and a warning, his wealth of knowledge is vast, ranging from those darkest of arts, reanimation of corpses, hexes and alchemical concoctions, to malevolent architecture and recruitment of mercenaries. If lecterns and anecdotes are not your forte, his vast and arcane library is now free to pilfer and profit at your capable hands. After all, you’ve thwarted what lies beyond once, who’s to say you won’t again?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:44 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 10] Actually this is fine. I can live with this.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 02:44 PM

you also have a weekly shipment of boys

from where?

Who knows

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 11] I can tolerate an eldritch god being a short drive and some good digging equipment from my house.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 12] Hell, in Fallen London, I live in one. I can deal with this.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 02:48 PM

seems like you've got the version that's been pacified already

so that's nice

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 13] I'll send Adam in later to see if that's really the case. We could all be getting tricked here.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 02:50 PM

The Book hasn't lied to you yet

creatively interpreted the text

sure

but out and out lied?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 14] Among Us was Henry Stickmin.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 02:51 PM

Trueeee

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 02:52 PM

so you should make sure the Unearthly Cabochon is secured

that thing sounds kinda scary

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:53 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 15] Yeah, probably. I'll have my projection do it. Hopefully both shards play nice.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 02:54 PM

(OOC: you say even submerge underwater twice in the mobile pod laboratory description)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 02:55 PM

(TFW copy and paste accidents)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 16] Once I'm sure it won't give me an aneurysm remotely, I'll bring it here and capchalogue it. Having the code is bound to be pretty helpful. (edited)

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 02:59 PM

so the red hook sounds like a neat, if terrifying weapon. you now have a spooky town, a jeweler, a ghost that can teach you some sort of magic, and a fiat backed flying gunship lab. (edited)

might want to talk to the jewler and the ghost before you check out your new ship

well ship/lab

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 17] I'm planning on integrating the Red Hook and the Unearthly Cabochon into my gunblade very soon, too, if I have the right kinds of grist for that. Just seems like a common sense thing to do.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:01 PM

what does the red hook do other than shatter the minds of lesser mortals?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:02 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 18] Horribly distorts things it affects, in typical eldritch fashion.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:03 PM

ah, lovely

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 03:04 PM

you sure you wanna put that in your swordgun?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:04 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 19] ...Good point. I'll make a new one for that.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:04 PM

same with the cabochon

that thing sounds like it litteraly turns people into NPC's

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 20] I'm less worried about the cabochon, ironically enough. It sounds more like it grey boys people at my command.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 21] More than that, that it'll stop at my command.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 22] If I can properly weaponize that, it's a surprisingly busted low-lethality option.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:08 PM

also the Geological Guild Quarters description seems like it came with people as well

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 03:08 PM

again, you get a weekly shipment of people

weekly

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:09 PM

well, you do have those fallen London fruits that could be planted in the fields you now have

no need to worry about food

as well as the lifeblood core

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 23] I do. It seems like the fields came with their own food, but I could add to it. Good point about the lifeblood core, though, I forgot about that. As for those people... Well, I guess I have minions, now. Fucking fantastic.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 24] I hate leadership roles.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:10 PM

you may not like leadership positions, but is seems R.OB. wants you to have one at this point.

i am half expecting you to get a leadership perk soon

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 03:11 PM

that crime lord knowhow must have come with leadership skills

the CEO one too

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:11 PM

yeah, but a perk that specifically makes him a GREAT leader

well on the bright side you don't have to worry about finding twelve people to tackle the SBURB jump. seems R.O.B. is giving them to you!

Dubiously Motivated Pika 28-Nov-20 03:13 PM

^

Apparently, there was a Sburb game with 48 players according to Hussie.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:14 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 25] I'm not sure I want a bunch of people from the 19th century touching computers. No offense to them or anything.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 03:16 PM

if only you could build a machine to download modern knowledge into their brains

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:17 PM

if only you suddenly got a lab that you could use to build one

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 26] I maybe could, but it'd be difficult to the point that I'd be better off teaching them with my own shitty teaching skills. You are all vastly overestimating my actual abilities when it comes to directing people, by the way. Not only is that CEO perk literally irrelevant because it's inventing-based, Plutonic Lord, from what I'm still kind of trying to figure out, is individual-focused, not group-focused. I'm more of a master thief than a bond villain.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 27] Sorry if I'm sounding kind of aggressive, I'm just kind of tired of being pushed towards stuff I'm not actually good at or don't enjoy.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:23 PM

totally understand

but can't do anything about what R.O.B. gives you other than give advice on how to utilize it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:28 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 28] I need to explain this stuff better in the future, since it seems to be throwing you guys for a loop just based on names. I'm gonna note that in the google doc for my own reference in the future, so I don't forget to clear this stuff up. Anyways, because I know you guys are probably wondering: If I started making memory-alteration devices, there's a very real chance I could cause brain damage that I can't fix, due to how invasive it'd have to be. It's the Panacea problem, but instead of a lack of knowledge, it's a lack of control that could screw me over there.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 03:35 PM

that's fair enough (edited)

you're the expert tinker, after all

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 29] Looking at both the hook and the crystal is pretty unpleasant, I'm finding. I think the Hunters Eyes from Fallen London are making me see some nasty things.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 03:39 PM

The price for knowledge is sanity, but even knowing the awful truth will not impact your faculties in the slightest.

thank goodness for that

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:39 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 30] Yeah, no, I'm still thinking perfectly clearly despite everything.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 03:45 PM

maybe set Malder on making Occult Filter Glasses?

so this stuff doesn't hurt to look at?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:47 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 31] It's not painful, just disturbing. It's like if you went to look up pictures of trucks and suddenly saw two dozen pictures of people being turned into mulch, ripped apart, etc.

Esprit 28-Nov-20 03:47 PM

was gone for a bit. apparently, you understand lutece particles now?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:48 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 32] Yeah, that's a thing. I could make some pretty good flight organs with a bit of difficulty.

Xanderpy 28-Nov-20 03:48 PM

you could give yourself wings!

and are one step closer to being able to make a DRAGON!

Esprit 28-Nov-20 03:49 PM

I have so many questions to ask about how Lutece particles ended up working, but that'll have to wait for when I have proper free time to think things through

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:51 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 33] Basically, really half-assed quantum locking. (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 34] Also, multiversal quantum particles.

Esprit 28-Nov-20 03:52 PM

cool. will do theory crafting later

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 03:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 35] Okay. I am done with notes, for now. Will need to review later and see if they're all needed, if there's any to add, etc. For now, it's weaponization time.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 36] And I need new grist types to fuck with these things DAMN IT

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 37] At least I have toggles for whether or not the Darkest Dungeon is a normal mansion or hellish. I can multitask.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 38] The mansion itself seems fine. Huh.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 39] As in, I can't find any torch toggle to make the mansion itself filled with monsters. I mean, I wasn't planning on doing that, but still.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 40] I've never actually been in a mansion before, this is kind of surreal. I'm trying to send pictures, but Discord hates me doing that.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 41] Y'know, I'm actually pretty happy about this. I think that might be a sign that I'm starting to go crazy.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 04:05 PM

move into the big house then?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 04:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 42] I'll need to wire it up with an electrician, and probably have any other architectural concerns looked at, but i am strongly considering it.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 43] I can kill infinite vampires and time zombies with [clouds]. I'm a genius.

Gazzer 28-Nov-20 04:28 PM

Do it! Do it! do it!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 28-Nov-20 04:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 44] I'll multitask and do some experiments while I'm here while also doing all this. I still want to figure out Curator DNA.

Kamui 28-Nov-20 06:32 PM

Well more eldritch abominations to feed you Not-Stand. And they might have some novel biology to splice into yourself or Adam

Probably Adam

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 02:38 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 45] i fugued myself (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 7 - 46] i need sleep

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 1] Sleep acquired. Decided to have an XL breakfast since I hadn't really ate anything yesterday.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:22 AM

Good for you Robin

So what is the plan?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 2] I'm still kind of going over the notes from yesterday, but once I'm done with that: 1. Go into Worm for a bit. I don't know the exact starting point I'll be put at, for all I know things are post-leviathan or before Anette dies in BB. 1b. See if Adam's developing a Stand, and if not, give him the virus. He'll be taking my place in the SBR today. 2. Get some new clothes. 3. Finish up in the Courtyard and Farmstead - Grind the corpses to grist. 4. See what's through the newest door. I'm pretty sure it's Prey, and having some Typhon samples will really help me going forward.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:27 AM

That’s a good Olán

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 3] Thanks, I came up with it in 4 seconds lol

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:29 AM

Damm mind enhancing perks

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 4] Okay, that's a bit of a lie, I'm distracted, but that's the starting goal

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:29 AM

Don’t worry I’m joking

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 5] Also I'm already doing part 3 so all that is in no particular order

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:30 AM

So you have an idea where in worm are you arriving

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:30 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 6] From everything people in here have said, it'll probably be the bay

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:30 AM

So you’re not sure

Okay there is some places in worm you need to gtfo

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:31 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 7] I'm not, no, but either way I'll need to get to the bay to accomplish my goals there. I'm aware of places like Eagleton.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:31 AM

One is China and Africa in General

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 8] Doing anything with the Unearthly Cabochon and Red Hook is insanely expensive, grist-wise, apparently. I fused the two of them first, then made another gunblade with that result mixed in. I feel like I ought to name it.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:39 AM

Dread of Unwieldy Weapons?

DUW for short

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 9] It's surprisingly comfortable to use, actually. It turned into a big rifle-scythe combo. Has a brutal-looking crystalline design on parts I'm supposed to hit people with.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:41 AM

Crescent Blues? (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 10] I like that!

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:41 AM

Thank you

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 11] Crescent Blues it is.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 12] I'll just be keeping this in my sylladex.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:42 AM

Good

Now good luck in worm

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 13] Came out near a bookstore, looks a little run-down but I can definitely read what all's there. I'm in America, at least. Did we ever get a good description of the Rig, so I know what I'm looking for?

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:51 AM

Go to the coast and see if there is a building that looks like a oil rig

The ones they use to excavate oil

And if it is surrounded by a rainbow force field

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 14] Found it. So it seems like I'm in the bay after all.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 03:52 AM

That’s good now seek the nearest newspaper stand (edited)

And see the date

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 03:54 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 15] April 8th. 2011. Took a bit of looking around.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 16] That wound be shortly before Taylor went out to start heroing, yeah?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 17] Well, if so, I have all the info I need for the moment. Back to the Warehouse, before I get obliterated.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 04:02 AM

Yep

Remember to come back in the night

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:03 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 18] I'll be sure to do that. I do have a prototype stimulant I was working on in a little of my spare time, but I'm not sure it'll work on me now.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 19] Anyways, to Prey. I want Typhon samples and Coral samples.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 04:06 AM

That sound good

And don’t take any suit lying around

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:07 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 20] Why's that?

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 04:08 AM

They have the consciousness of the first user

They take over the body of the poor smuck that put it on

And they still have access to functions of the suit

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 21] Isn't that Crysis?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 22] I don't remember anything like that from Prey.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:19 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 23] Yeah I'm looking through the Prey wiki right now, I'm not really seeing anything by TranStar that works like that.

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 04:20 AM

Ayyyyeee (edited)

U a plugboy now

Nice to have hookups for your tentacles I guess

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:22 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 24] I'd like to remain mostly human shaped, I think I mentioned that before?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 25] I'm not attaching tentacles to myself. I already removed the majority of the plugs, as well.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 26] Didn't think it really warranted a mention.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 27] I have much better implant ideas in mind, those would just get in the way unless I wanted some kind of massive bio-mech.

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 04:28 AM

Mmmm biomech

Maybe for an Endbringer

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:31 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 28] I'd have to feed it and grow it, so no.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 29] I could maybe get away with not feeding it if I used some kind of way to distribute energy to it's cells basically unilaterally, but that still doesn't remove the need to grow it.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 30] Not the megaproject I'd like to work on.

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 04:34 AM

Fair enough

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:35 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 31] I'm going to definitely have to see how Typhon react to ADAM, so that's another project for the ever-growing pile of projects I'm getting.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:44 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 32] the turrets have some fuckign kick

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 04:55 AM

I can imagine

Well I literally can’t, but you get the idea

please don’t die

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:59 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 33] the turrets hate me for some reason, but im mostly fine, just caught by surprise a little

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 05:17 AM

Shadow walking from jojo, up prey typhon (beware pairs of items) and the matrix. So you only got the prey door? How does that work? The main game. Is a simulation after all. Also if you stay out of worm for a day, check the date again to see if time actually pases when you are not in a door. And the turrets might be shooting you because you don't register as human to their scanners.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 05:23 AM

Sorry yes I had them confused

It was crysis the one I was thinking

Now is for different reasons

Yep. Always hit EVERYTHING with a wrench. Or get a psychoscope and. Install a mimic detection chip

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 05:27 AM

Thats worse

The mimics are aliens

Don’t know

They seems technological and biological so maybe (edited)

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 05:27 AM

Good thing for the suit. And it is nice to see that your base's atmosphere is not sucked out

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 35] They're primarily biological. I've been exploring, by the way. It's why I haven't been chatting. The door is in the station, safe and sound.

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 05:28 AM

Okay

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 05:28 AM

They mimic things by stealing a duplicate from a another dimention, and putting it while being hidden between IIRC

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 05:28 AM

Everything you brought, hit it first

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 05:28 AM

Yep

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 05:29 AM

You never known with mimics

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 05:30 AM

A psychoscope with a mimic detection chip is the best way to spot them

And protect yourself from their brain whamying as well

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 36] I'm learning a lot about alien neurology from this. It's pretty interesting so far. I'm also piecing together how Neuromods work.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 39] I feel better now. I think I have a better grip on one of my metaphysical energy pools. Soul, I think. Might be competence, both have white light involved. Did someone record a perk?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 40] I've reached my tolerance threshold for being shot, though. I have a fairly large amount of samples handy, I can head back.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 41] Note to self, Typhon and Lifeblood do not get along.

Interesting

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 08:08 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 42] Okay, I'm gonna break for lunch, but a few things I've learned.

1. Typhon Material acts like a force multiplier for ADAM. 2. Lifeblood makes Typhon Material mutate in a very cancerous way. 3. Typhon Material doesn't like SOUL. 4. SOUL stuff seems to be easily enough to draw power out of the staff I got. 5. I need to be under a great deal of pressure to activate timestop. 5.1. Timestop seems to only last a second at most for me. 6. Typhon biology relies on dimensional physics in a way I think my passenger isn't familiar with. I'm still working my way through that stuff, I feel weirdly enthusiastic about it.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 08:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 46] okay so i'm definitely bug-sized here. had a chat with some of the bugs here, was pretty interesting. im tempted to see if i can get grimm recruited

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 47] could maybe accelerate the growth of the grimmchild with the right chemical mixes, then extend its lifespan indefinitely via a mix of lifeblood and timeshard infusions, though i cant be certain they wont reject the lifeblood

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 48] i need a jetpack, fuck

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 49] blink helps but it also preserves kinetic energy which doesnt help with falling all that much if i get up to high speeds. could maybe get long fall boots from portal

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 08:50 AM

Some kind of Bio-Wing Pack?

like Dragonfly wings with natural jet fuel

or whatever

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 08:51 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 50] think i'd go for insect wings and mix something like lutece particles in with a flight bladder to help ascension, but thats preliminary thoughts

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 08:54 AM

good idea!

maybe it can hook into whatever plug you kept for thought speed reaction times?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 08:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 51] i'd rather hook it into my own nervous system, so it doesn't get taken down by one good electric attack (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 52] the tech is decent but i can do much better on my own

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 08:56 AM

There's a bunch of jetpack codes for alchemy

pshoooes does rocket boots

No idea how they're powered, though

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 08:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 53] i'm assuming video game logic

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 54] a lot of things in sburb work off that, which is pretty good, but limits my ability to make improvements later on

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 08:59 AM

why not improve the plug with a bio-metal replacement?

make it shock resistant, stuff like that

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 55] because it gives anyone who manages to take me down nonlethally access to everything in my mind assuming they have the requisite technology to access it?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 56] the only reason i havent just ripped the thing out like all the others is because i'd definitely kill myself due to the thing being hooked into my brain

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 57] takes a good deal of finesse to not cause damage like that - the other areas were a lot more easily repaired

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 58] ive made exactly 2 alterations to my brain while fully conscious and both were while i was utilizing tasks to smooth over the difficulties, and both were just putting stuff in there. forgive me if im a little intimidated by this

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:05 AM

totally fair

don't mean to push any buttons

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:06 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 59] you're fine. i think my temper is getting to be more and more of a hair trigger with each day

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 60] all the shit going down getting to me and such. i should probably remove that last plug before anything else, though.

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:09 AM

should be safe-ish with Tasks

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:09 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 61] honestly itll probably be like high-stakes Operation funnily enough

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 62] i want to get all parts of the thing out of my skull, though, make sure theres nothing thatd set off an airport metal detector (edited)

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 63] itll require some very precise movements

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 68] i need to figure out a way to keep pain numbing on at all times

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:19 AM

pain is a useful signal maybe don't remove that

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:20 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 69] id much rather just have acute knowledge of what's injured rather than agony over stepping on a rock wrong

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 09:22 AM

that would be better

as long as you have some way to identify injury other than sight

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:22 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 70] yeah. pain is not the best mechanism but its certainly attention-demanding

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 09:24 AM

it is a pavlovian mechanism. make the damage unpleasant and the organism will not want to repeat the action

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 71] since im already on the operating table i think im gonna install the wings after i get done removing the plug

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:25 AM

yeah! transhumanism!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:27 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 72] definitely down for transhumanism, as long as it nets me definite upgrades like this, but i do like being more or less human shaped and able to go outside also noticing that i already have a very small pair of wings growing in now that im taking a look at internals, which is. interesting i think this might be part of the fugue i had earlier today

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 73] i'd rather be conscious for this sort of stuff, jfc

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:31 AM

did you know the human brain can adapt to extra limbs like super easy? Plasticity is amazing!

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 74] im aware, yeah - i was planning on hooking the wings to my nervous system. i'm noticing a lot of little changes throughout my body that i didnt see before, though

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 75] remember those claws i got? they've got a different design now, theyre longer and a bit sharper, and thats just an example

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:36 AM

like, edgey sharper or just more of what they were?

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 09:36 AM

So you (r)evolved (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:36 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 76] like, gone from housecat to small bear

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 77] i think the best answer to your question, gazzer, is both, but im checking out a lot of things right now. extended spine with another vertibrae, tweaked skeletal structure across the board, the biggest difference is how my internal organs are laid out

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:40 AM

more decentralized or?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 78] just kind of different, like if someone moved every inch of furniture in your house 5 inches to the left or something

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 79] probably has a purpose for further alteration but im not really seeing it

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 09:41 AM

At least is a mild alteration

And not body horror

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:42 AM

how flexible them bones tho? :v (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 09:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 80] About the same as a human's. It's definitely possible the change is too slight for me to notice, fugue and all, but I think the make of them is pretty much the same as it ever was

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 81] any other human's i should say. fuck, i should not distance myself too much like that

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 09:47 AM

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 10:31 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 96] this feels weirdly simple. grimm is kind of an ambiguous figure with a dramatic and kinda evil motif, this feels way too simple to summon him

Those are the worst ones

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 10:32 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 8 - 97] i'm not overly concerned, i'm probably worse. i'm already pretty deep into human experimentation, even if its just on myself

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 1] ok i got a bit lost in things here, but the long and short of it is: some devilish fuckery, involving correspondence and the making/breaking of laws, drove that poor woman nuts, and every side of things are behind this. benthic captain sold his soul, summerset captain was unhappy that his boyfriend did that but is playing along, and theyre all planning on extorting secrets from Wines. apparently you can turn cricket into correspondence with the right moves, which the Deviless taught i suspect the correspondence used gave the lady a brief prophetic vision, given i saw her briefly when i enacted that law i got the secrets, and a bit of trauma to go with it too probably. but im on better terms with Mr Wines now

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 04:16 PM

That’s good to hear

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:16 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 2] yeah. i also got generator rex abilities, and nanites in my blood, so that's... interesting

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 04:17 PM

Ooh, those are good.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:17 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 3] and a weird dog

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 4] those are very good. i can now tinker on the go, and probably pull off some real shonen bs

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 5] i feel prepared to take on worm, but i can do much better than just this. fallen london is ripe with opportunities for a skillful touch to exploit. just need to know where to look

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 6] goddamn, when the food down here is good, its GOOD

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 7] oh shit, i just realized something: i have a coin somewhere in my warehouse that will... apparently spontaneously generate a ship of mine if i toss it in the ocean. i dont have a ship, technically, so will it just generate some kind of biological one?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 8] because there is a source of immortality out in the unterzee i could maybe get with a living ship

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 04:28 PM

Not much to do but try it out. Is the coin reusable?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:30 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 9] it'd probably be weird if it wasnt. then again, fallen london is weird. i'll ask adam to find it, he ought to be decent at getting around incredibly small or cluttered places. he'll prolly find it

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:40 PM

Have you looked over that tidbit that you are now literally a HIGHER BEING!?!?!? That shit be whack, yo! The fact that your SOUL is better, you can make your own private dreamworld, AND all your 600 cp perks, which are like half of the active ones, get a boost.... Holy shit man...

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 04:41 PM

Is there an upper limit to making a hivemind? Also, you won't be wanting for Sburb players anymore.

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:41 PM

All I can think of with that perk is that you can essentially uplift beings of animal like intellect, you could have your techno dog be smart!

True that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 04:42 PM

The processed pet is fiat-backed to be friendly

Might as well bring it up

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:43 PM

Fetch processes are adorable as well

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:44 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 10] i actually have less 600 cp ones than you think. singer for the sky is one im not really sure how you could upgrade, temp noir is... admittedly pretty good but not overpoweringly strong, and i just got machine creation the others are items

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:45 PM

Shard administrator

Is 600

Lifeblood core is annother

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 11] i think vendi vidi vigor is another 600 cp one but im not sure, its a little hard to quantify knowledge im not sure how shard administrator works with this boost ill admit lifeblood core is not a perk, though. its not a part of me

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:47 PM

Right, It's an item (edited)

But yeah it seems with the hive mind option the benefactor is trying to give you alternatives to the leadership position it seems to REALLY want you to have

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:48 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 12] i think im just not gonna use it, out of spite

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:49 PM

Really is not being subtle anymore

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:49 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 13] might use it on my dog but i dont want that

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:49 PM

Just uplift it without hive minding it

It is a good doggo

The whole city you are getting, I am just worried that you may get a perk that will end up forcing you to be a leader

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:51 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 14] heres hoping that doesn't turn out to be the case. or that all these hopes and prayers one way dont jinx it to be the other

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 15] its appreciated but honestly i havent been thinking about this and i dont wanna

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:51 PM

The benefactor is probably listening tou your prayers, to be honest

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:52 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 16] it can listen to me praying it sucks my dick at this point

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 17] fucker doesnt deserve an ounce of respect from me

Kamui 29-Nov-20 04:54 PM

So you got the big boy nanites in addition to a fancy spacesuit, and your wild and wacky meat-tech

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:55 PM

And a good robo doggo

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 18] i have a lot of things

Kamui 29-Nov-20 04:55 PM

And whatever the hell you end up doing with ADAM and Typhon and Lifeblood

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 19] mostly odds and ends

Kamui 29-Nov-20 04:55 PM

to further enhance your meat

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:55 PM

I mean can your mobile lab go to space?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 20] possibly, but thats not something im just gonna do without making sure

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:55 PM

Can you make your lab the ship your coin summons?

Kamui 29-Nov-20 04:56 PM

These things might hybridize on some level

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:56 PM

Cause it IS seaworthy and submursible

Kamui 29-Nov-20 04:56 PM

I mean Little Rapture is still distinct from the Darkest Estate

For Now

probably will remain so in all honesty

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:57 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 21] little rapture is stalking me wherever i go i think the ship is distinct from the lab, but don't quote me on that. if there were metaphysical fuckery, im sure id be aware of it

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:57 PM

Looking at worm, you got no chance of being Piggot's friend, biotinker master powers for DAAAAAAAAAAYS

Kamui 29-Nov-20 04:58 PM

You can fake being a changer with Omega Nanites

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:58 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 22] oh yeah no im a walking s class threat i could make all kinds of implants though, and thats the important part

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:58 PM

He got a stand and a shard-stand

Kamui 29-Nov-20 04:58 PM

which you can almost certainly channel your plasmid effects through

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 04:59 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 23] i dont have any actual plasmids yet

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 04:59 PM

Can you channel SOUL though your stand? Should be easier to use your SOUL with the higher being perk

Also next time you see Grimm he probably gonna mention that fact that you are equivalent to the pale king

Kamui 29-Nov-20 05:01 PM

Yeah you actually do need to develop and implement plasmids, vigors, and a real-ass fighting style

rather than just kind of fumbling around and getting shot until you manage to hit something

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 05:01 PM

You could throw the powers to a minion and let them do it if you think you don't have time

Kamui 29-Nov-20 05:03 PM

you really need to draw a Time perk of some sort

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 24] i want to have a clear(er) understanding of the principles behind ADAM before i start using it on myself in any serious fashion. my body is already going through a lot of changes which those could mess up i can channel soul through my stand perfectly fine. thanatos is a no go however as for grimm, he said a few things like that, yeah. he said a lot of things and i refuse to go into detail over all of them i can maybe set up something to go over stuff on the internet and harvest data to make a coherent combat style, then once ive cracked neuromod technology apply it to myself. it seems like itll be relatively easy to do that, though i do want to make sure my brain can handle the extra memories without risking running out of space for more.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 25] what do you mean by a time perk?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 05:03 PM

Speed-up stuff

Kamui 29-Nov-20 05:03 PM

The ability to Work Faster

Things that let you get more done in less time

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:04 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 26] ohhhh. i could try spamming [perfect day], in that case, itll technically work like that

Kamui 29-Nov-20 05:05 PM

For as long as your body can handle it. timestop effects are very taxing on the user's stamina

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:05 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 27] you say that like im not a humanoid-shaped abomination

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 28] lol

Kamui 29-Nov-20 05:06 PM

So was DIO and I don't think he ever actually broke 10 seconds under his own power

He COULD on a long enough timeline

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 05:06 PM

Yeah but he was limited to jojo stuff

Not the jumpchain

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:07 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 29] honestly the main issue for me might be mental fatigue, it seems to offer that as the alternative given the stress i was dealing with at the time

Kamui 29-Nov-20 05:07 PM

Still, [Perfect Day] might have some other effect or limitation involved

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:07 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 30] also alt diego exists

Kamui 29-Nov-20 05:07 PM

And yeah the mental stress is pretty big

Which kind of makes doing proper bioscience difficult in the stopped time

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:08 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 31] i may have just gotten a woman arrested for a plot to mindfuck fallen london. i did get a supply of colored ink, based on the neathbow though

Kamui 29-Nov-20 05:10 PM

Neat

I assume that was the demonic cricket coach you mentioned earlier?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 32] no, the person running the pen show. i spotted weird colors in her pens, i think she went by the kaleidoscopic entrepreneur, which is a hell of a title honestly

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 33] i did mention it right? someone was doing a pen show in veilgarden. meant to mention it earlier, at least

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 34] shit, might've gotten sidetracked by all that 'higher being' stuff

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 05:15 PM

np

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 05:16 PM

Yeah no problem. Getting sidetracked by being on the first steps to godhood is understandable

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:23 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 35] shit. i didn't. okay, so im gonna run through this really quick: saw a lady inviting people to some kind of thing, big sign with a pen show that was gonna go on the whole week, she was handing out coupons so i took one and decided to check it out. i do like a nice novelty pen. it's weirdly popular? like a lot of people were buying pens from this place, so i figured, hey, something's probably up with this, i ought to look around, maybe steal a few pens to look at. i took a closer look at one of the designs and noticed some really weird colors that made my head feel fuzzy, so i came to a logical conclusion and started breaking and entering invisibly. entrepreneur saw the door open, i saw she had a guy in a padded room, i hit her with a cricket bat and looked through some of her stuff since you dont just casually keep people imprisoned at your pen show yknow? found some ink, found some more ink, and i capchalogued a good sample of each color of the neathbow before calling the cops in there, and from there i bullshitted about hearing someone distressed back there when they asked what the hell i was up to. she apparently had some stuff in her diary which cleared things up for them, because the place got cleared out after that and some of the masters' people came in to haul the rest of the ink away, while the police checked out the entrepreneur an the guy in the room

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 36] yes i know my logic there had been 'hm, its popular. thats sus' but honestly it was pretty sus. there were like 70 people there and the ones not in the ''pen afficionado'' area (whatever the fuck that is, i didnt even know those existed??) were chatting up a storm and unusually enthusiastic about all that

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 37] like there is no fucking way pens can get that kind of hype

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 05:30 PM

yeah that's some memetic hazard shit

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:31 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 38] yeah, neathbow tends to be that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 05:32 PM

You've got an Among Us perk, thinking relatively inane-seeming things are sus is par for the course.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:32 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 40] fair

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 41] then again i know that this city is deeply fucked up. i mean, cricket to cosmic secrets. cmon

Xanderpy 29-Nov-20 05:33 PM

You even said "pretty sus"

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 42] i did say that in hindsight

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 43] i didnt say it in the middle of actually dealing with things, but that seemed the best way to put it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:45 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 44] i need to find more weird stuff like this going on

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 05:46 PM

You could maybe make some remote-control eye drones or something.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:47 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 45] honestly hive mind is looking a little more appealing. just grab a fuckton of bats, wind em up and watch em go

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Nov-20 05:47 PM

It is a great tool

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 05:48 PM

Yeah, have non-human minions instead of, like, basically people.

That hive-mind thing is a great tool.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:49 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 46] the question is, if i go enlightenment, hive-mind, or something between

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:50 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 47] i dont think this is a meme question. i could do some serious damage to who i am if i go the hive mind route. itd boost my own mental capabilities, most likely, at risk of altering my personality

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 05:51 PM

You'll want to extend what you can do, but also get competent minions. Keep the hive mind small, have a cap amount of brainpower and kill off older hive members if you get better ones.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:53 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 48] i'll have to experiment, see what just having a few do to me. thankfully, i can just rob a pet store in sburb for that i wonder if i can do this to the monsters and zombies in the darkest dungeons (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 05:55 PM

You could probably grow some stuff from scratch. Lobotomise stuff first too.

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 05:55 PM

Oh yeah!

Good idea

the pod lab should have stuff to clone some blank animals or whatever you want

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 49] oh, that's a very good point, lobotomies would make them able to be affected, potentially

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 50] i'll check the pod lab too

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 51] if i dont mention clones once i get started on this its probably a safe bet to assume that for one reason or another they were impractical

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 05:58 PM

noted!

I'll try and remember that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 29-Nov-20 05:58 PM

If the hive members have less brains, that means they can have more robust skulls to keep the brains safe.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Nov-20 05:59 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 9 - 52] yeah, either that or bonus brain implants

Gazzer 29-Nov-20 06:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 1] So I may have gotten tangled up in a bit of a murder mystery yesterday. Kind of got derailed by Veils taking some personal interest in me. Shocked I didn't get murdered.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 2] To understate things, I think it really likes JJBA fashion

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 3] On the plus side, I have some pretty strange fabric, alongside some sapient clothes, now

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 13] if applied correctly, with an extreme amount of prep time, i could use correspondence to act like a reality warper

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 14] so i may have gotten tangled up in a revolutionary plot here in london. awkward

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 06:45 AM

as long as no-one sees you, which should be easy, and no-one of importance(shadowstalker, she should be fine), then go ahead.

as for your new perks, self report could easilly come in handy

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 06:47 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 18] my thought process: if i make it look like a parahuman attack, i can maybe get the prt involved, and if i get adam to hack sophia and emma's phones to make it look like sophia was responsible, the whole shadow stalker thing gets defused pretty easily (edited)

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 06:47 AM

ooohhhhh yes

self report should help you shift blame as well

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 06:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 19] and honestly making it look like sophia escalated from toxic waste dump to attempted murder would make it look pretty in character

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 06:53 AM

onto an analysis of your new perks: technical training is a NICE tinker perk, more mechanical knowledge for [DATA], the ancestors shade might now some about the correspondence and discordance, your jojo perk for more stands is 600 points, meaning higher being boosts it, you now have teraria logic and are a true video game character now, complete with inventory, mana betery mean you are more of a mage now, the staff will help, and you got ki techniques that affect people based on your force of personality, and you probably got a REALLY strong one from all the fallen london stuff and ESPECIALLY your jojo stuff

so yeah more stands, probably will be easier to get because higher being

your aversion to leadership seems to have the benefactor allow you to become a literal one man army instead

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 20] cool

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 21] honestly though im not entirely sure how infinite stands will help me out if theyre all the same stand drawing from the same stamina pool

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 22] all in all its a nice boost and i can probably utilize it for things like correspondence tattoos, plus i think i could maybe make a crude pipe bomb based on what i know ill try and find spooky ghost dude and ask about the correspondence and discordance, maybe try and learn some magic once that becomes more of an option, but terraria magic mostly involves having an item to cast the spell from

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 23] all of it seems reasonably useful tho

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 24] oh, before i forget, i got some pretty large dna samples from mr veils yesterday. might give me a chance to see what becoming a master would entail on the metaphysical level, i know its tied to the correspondence

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:00 AM

However, if the correct station is nearby, and you have all needed materials, you will instantly be aware of whatever item you could potentially make

THIS IS BUSTED FOR TINKERS

from terrarian perk

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 25] xan, do you know how tinkers think? its a little backwards from traditional inventors

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 26] its less innovation and more 'i already know what the end product is, how do i work backwards from that to get there'

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:01 AM

dang

i was thinking that this lets you be a revrse tinker

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 27] its helpful, because it actually lists stuff, but its not nearly as busted as you might imagine

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:02 AM

so you could figure out stuff from both ends, as you know what you can make if you have the mats for them, and your shard knows what you can make but has to find the mats

your shard will probably be very happy with this bit of [DATA] (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:02 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 28] so effectively i have a tech tree i can look over

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 29] i just have to focus to see the middle bit

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:03 AM

pretty much, if i read it correctly

meaning you might be able to reproduce the tinkertech

given time

without tinker abilities

Gazzer 30-Nov-20 07:05 AM

Something to test with Malder or Skelly, perhaps?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:06 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 30] tinkertech is partially powered by space whale bullshit subtly altering materials, like with armsmaster's mini-shaker bs that lets him micromanipulate and such, so itd really depend on the piece of tinkertech. its why dragon isnt nearly as powerful as she should be despite her power being reverse-engineering

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 31] if she was able to use it to her fullest extent, she would be able to go full culture once defiant lifted her restrictions

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 32] writing her own OS and all that bs

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:09 AM

also did you get anny new doors?

hoping you got a terraria one

summoner gear would boost your stand EPICLY

and stardust armor basically comes with a stand

for annother FREE stand

and the life crystals

for boosting your health

Gazzer 30-Nov-20 07:10 AM

wait does this mean you could do another projection of your [Dark Furry]

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:11 AM

nah he would get [STARDUS GUARDIAN]. It is part of the armor set

i like terraria if you could not tell

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:11 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 33] got one. 90% sure its terraria as for shard-projections, no, since those are seemingly controlled by the shard i do love summoner gear tho... i'm pretty sure i could maybe uncap the summon limit with that perk

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:12 AM

niiiiice. hope it is not calamity

well actualy it depends

calamity is great rewards for big fuckin boses

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:12 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 34] fuck calamity i hate that mod. it kicked my ass

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:12 AM

yeah

i wonder if it is on expert mode

harder, sure, but the big guns are locked behind it

also first thing i would do is get life crystals

videogame hp logic applies to you now, at least somewhat

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:13 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 35] honestly, first thing im doing is making a virulent counter to the crimson/corruption if its there

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:14 AM

and i always imagined it functioning like a shield, damage you take is taken from your hp, and when it runs out you get hurt normally. also good idea to check if you got crimsion or corruption

kinda hope for crimsion, crimmatite IS better that demonite, but that comes with ichor ahd flesh spiders

so for your sake i hope for corruption

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:16 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 36] welp. im sending out part of the hive mind to explore, if they get killed its no skin off my back

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 37] it could potentially be both, there was that one drunk seed in journey's end

Gazzer 30-Nov-20 07:17 AM

hive mind hive mind hive mind

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:17 AM

ohyeah

also could be for the worthy

wich would be hell

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:17 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 38] funny enough the hive mind works much better than my projection through the doors im finding

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:17 AM

but red potions on the other hand......

also if the hallow apears, could you hive mind a unicorn?

kek just show up with an army of unicorns

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:18 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 39] i can hive mind basically any simple creature, so unless they speak, in theory i could. sounds dumb tho

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:19 AM

"tonight, we pony prance, IN HELL!" - demo man, tf2

.... could you hive mind all the corruption/crimsion mobs?

just no-sell them

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:21 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 40] maybe

Gazzer 30-Nov-20 07:21 AM

A unicorn is a Horned Horse how is that not horrifying

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:21 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 41] everything depends on outside factors i know nothing about

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 42] im not fucking around with horny horses

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:21 AM

and comes with magic powers

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 43] im not fucking around with horny magic horses

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:22 AM

also i hope it is hardmode. all the good loot and enemies, and there fore DNA samples, are locked behind it

wait i am dumb

hol up

wforgot hardmode was after wall of flesh

nevermind my dumb ass

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:24 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 44] rip

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:24 AM

also the one boss you NEED to get is empress of light, the flight insignia is BUSTED

free infinite flight,

probably translates to infinite wing stamina

so your wings never get tired

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 45] terraprisma also thats a good point, i need to weaponize my wings

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:25 AM

and terraria has wings you could upgrade yours with

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:25 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 46] terraria has a lot of things i could upgrade myself with. im interested in getting moon lord chunks

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 47] among many, many other things

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:26 AM

yeehh and i always wondered how zenith would function IRL (edited)

but yeah can i add getting all crafting stuff from terraria to the goals list?

cause those stuff let you fight a eldrich psudo-god

so they must be somewhat good

and they might work with non terraria stuff

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:28 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 48] yall are free to add whatever to the list, i may remove it later i dont end up liking it or it becomes irrelevant but im leaving it free for yall for a reason

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 49] i cant think of everything that needs doing myself

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 50] it helps to have people to collaborate with, and a layer of detachment helps yall view this with a more analytical lens rather than personal

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:33 AM

imma be thinking on everything in terraria to get

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 51] take your time. ive discovered crimson and corruption, robby's getting predictable

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:34 AM

at least they are being somewhat more considerate with the perks

with less social kind of leadership and more hive mind style stuff

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 52] im not entirely convinced it isnt at least semi-random

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:38 AM

probably is semi-random, but they could also be weighted (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:41 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 53] who knows

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:42 AM

aight so you got the drunk world, sadly no red potion

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 54] thats irony for you

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:43 AM

the guide should be near you, and since drunk world it would be the party girl, unless videogame logic goes out his time, and they actually have a town already

also plus side for drunk world you get BOTH hardmode ore types

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:44 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 55] guide already has a cabin in the woods, and seems to be shacked up with the party girl, yeah

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:45 AM

also try not to get personal with the guide until you beat the wall of flesh.

cause you gotta lava a guide voodoo doll to summon it

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 56] i know that part, yeah

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:46 AM

kinda sucks

oh shit i just realized, have you used the ship coin yet? cause the black spot item is probably the deed to that flying ship. would be kinda epic to have as your coinship

yeah if you want the good terraria stuff you might have to spend some time in it. luckily you don't need to spend as much time looking for things, as you got your hivemind

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 57] i already tried the coin ship. it looks like a massive heart of some sort that got retrofitted into a ship. almost everything is organic in some form

Gazzer 30-Nov-20 07:55 AM

oh fun

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:55 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 58] its its own neathy thing, which is pretty predictable, but this is a good thing - if i get other stuff later, my coin isnt being wasted on it

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:55 AM

True (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:56 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 59] that, and my flying train is probably more durable than a dinky wooden flying ship

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 07:57 AM

Wait your train flies?

Gazzer 30-Nov-20 07:57 AM

how do you think space travel works

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 07:58 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 60] its from sunless skies

Esprit 30-Nov-20 07:58 AM

your flying train is rated for combat against conceptual hazards

not highly rated, mind, but still

it better be better than a dinky wooden flying ship

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 08:00 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 61] im honestly just waiting for the skills to upgrade it. if i got the train, it stands to reason id get the skills to work with it

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 62] technical skills are demonstratably in the sort of range id expect to get, after all

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 08:10 AM

And terraria endgame ores such as adamantite could be used to reinforce it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 30-Nov-20 09:56 AM

...Oh no. That last JoJo perk is from the Jorge Joestar jump.

Welp, all those JoJo doors have the potential to be a whole lot more dangerous.

Isn't Dio the holy corpse in that?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 09:57 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 63] i remember watching a video essay on it, it sounded like jojo on crack. i think we already had this discussion tho

Dubiously Motivated Pika 30-Nov-20 09:58 AM

We did? I guess I wasn't there for it.

Either way, ouch for the confirmation, though the perk is very nice

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 10:00 AM

is there a limit to the number of stands you can have with that perk?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 10:10 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 64] probably not, no, but they would all be the same stand

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 65] sorry, im like half focused on managing the horde and half my projection

Dubiously Motivated Pika 30-Nov-20 11:28 AM

You could always try to snag Scary Monsters

And there's probably a way to transfer ownership of a stand if Boy II Man (rock paper scissors stand) and Cheap Trick are any indication

Whitesnake too, for that matter

And Giorno's proven you can recreate a stand from just DNA, since he did that with the turtle once

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 11:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 66] Honestly I planned on recruiting Pucci from part 3 before dio completely brainwashed him

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 67] with luck i'll be ahead of the racists trying to kill his brother and his sister (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 30-Nov-20 12:00 PM

That was a few years before the start of part 3 iirc

1987, so just a year or sk

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 80] ok. several good things to note. my sensory boost blocks lung's enhanced senses, some of the paralytics and tranquilizers seem to have a good effect on lung, and combined with us partly leaving earth disrupting his power some, i now have an excellent way of dealing with changers like lung

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 81] basically gift-wrapped lung for transport, im gonna talk to armsmaster and taylor through [cloud]

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 82] hopefully give tattletale nightmares, i dont want the undersiders too eager to associate themselves with taylor

so you changed [Price of Oblicivion] to [cloud]? not bad honestly. also you went to low orbit? wat

morbid curiosity compells me to ask

so how are you going to interact with them?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 05:27 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 93] chatting with armsmaster right now. he nearly attacked on sight due to how [Cloud] looks (siberian and all that), but a closer look and an explanation had him relaxing. i think im fooling his lie detector right now or something

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 94] trying to establish a working relationship, letting him know about the bug venom and tranquilizer and all that. taylor didnt get to 'rot his crotch off' levels but its definitely something

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 95] pointed out to taylor that not only will lung know that a whole hoard of bugs attacked them, but so will the gang members, if they get out or use their phone call to tell their friends

Huh, that's a good point

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 05:34 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 96] still opted to not take credit. im gonna guess because of a lack of a real cape name and an attempt to limit info spreading - empire and all that. did mention that id personally be ok with him reporting it to his superiors, though i wanted to stay out of the news until i was good and damn well ready, and taylor went with that too armsmaster went off to make sure lung doesnt die of anything now that hes unconscious

Dubiously Motivated Pika 30-Nov-20 05:35 PM

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 05:36 PM

just had an idea for the hive mind problem. could you make like a mini-brain to help control it? like octopi have a brain for each arm, and your stands are like extra limbs....

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 30-Nov-20 05:36 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 97] gonna tell taylor to get in touch with me tomorrow and absolutely avoid any gang recruitment stuff if she can manage, like the empire or undersiders, since theyll try to worm their way into her good books. also made a burner pho account for her to get in touch with

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 98] more brains is the problem im pretty sure

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 109] he took it anyways when she got arrested

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 110] id say her power is probably pissy but honestly her power is brain dead, her boyfriend is probably just not smart enough to buy a dildo

[Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 111] i am going to Fucking Bed. this shit gave me a heart attack (figurative) and the adrenaline is wearing off

Xanderpy 30-Nov-20 06:20 PM

I Need More, I Want More, I Will Have More being boosted by Higher Being means that you could use the terraria life fruit and crystals WAY more than you should be able to. i overlooked that bit when first reading it, and thought the perk only let you get multiple stands, which is GOOD on its own, but that it works for ALL things that would normally give a one-time boost? das busted, especially that the logical downside of diminishing returns should be lessened significantly from Higher Being. like wow is that perk combo abuseable.... also the Stone of Aja might enhance your SOUL power, and Higher Being should enhance your interaction with it. you have yet another option to absolutely NUKE stuff when things go south. can never have enough contingencies

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 1] so fun fact personas and stands fusing is very unfun

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 2] i feel like someone set my brain on fire after i ran a 10000 meter dash

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 3] fuck everything side note taylor wants to meet at the library and i have no idea how im gonna handle this

darkchespin 01-Dec-20 06:39 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 5] it does fuck, im not sure if tattletale overheard the burner account i had

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 6] honestly i feel really weird about manipulating a teenager into not becoming a somewhat psycho supervillain

darkchespin 01-Dec-20 06:44 AM

it's not mnipulation

you are just preventing someone else from manipulating someone into becoming a psycho supervillain

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:45 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 7] ok, decent counterpoint

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 8] still, feels kinda sketchy to me on some level

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 9] this is gonna require full disclosure to get her on my side, isnt it

darkchespin 01-Dec-20 06:47 AM

not necessarily (edited)

you can just explain that she is emotionally vulnerable if she tries to say something about undercover work

thats all you need to do

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:49 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 10] true, and that the undersiders have one of the more dangerous thinkers out there, alongside someone suspected to be one of heartbreaker's kids

darkchespin 01-Dec-20 06:51 AM

really any decent person could stop this

so the meta knowledge is really not needed

given you understand trigger theory

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:52 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 11] you say that like i havent straight up murdered people it is a fair point though

but the guilt is a very good sign

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:56 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 14] the guilt is a good sign, yeah, but im also gonna need to deal with it when dealing with jack slash and his crew i was targeting criminals before, id say thats probably just escalation for you

darkchespin 01-Dec-20 06:57 AM

alright

killing is hard, but sometimes its needed

try not to admit any of that general, i've changed to taylor

she might try to redeem the Undersiders

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:59 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 15] she probably wouldn't. with the situation in the bay how it is, she would have to like authority to try that

darkchespin 01-Dec-20 06:59 AM

fair

but she is still emotionally vulnerable and they may have been nice to her

that can cause stupid decisions

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 07:01 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 16] true. still, they had a very small window of opportunity to do that, so im not hedging my bets on that. i will have to step up my 'kill coil' plans if it comes down to it though

darkchespin 01-Dec-20 07:02 AM

True, but be prepared if she says something about it

Xanderpy 01-Dec-20 07:49 AM

so you got Goodbye, Caroline(more safeties because of higher being? also you can delete your guilt temporarily to get jack slash), Last Of Its Kind which can come in VERRY handy, "You are a slave. Want emancipation?” is amazing for the anti-mind control.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 07:50 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 11 - 19] very true, very true. so i dont have to worry about jack manipulating me, most likely

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:01 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 39] i'm reasonably confident the time fuckery is non-present. just something of a deep-seated feeling, might be from my stand, idk

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 06:02 PM

Okay cool.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:04 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 40] side note, since i feel like im thinking a lot faster and thinking about my stand made me think about my timestop - my stand might be letting me manipulate gravity? like, in jojo when i first timestopped, suddenly everything felt completely weightless, like i was in space or something if that's the case, that's almost more broken than d4c, though i doubt i'm quite at the level of made in heaven

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 06:05 PM

Isn't Made in Heaven just gravity manipulation anyway? Or made by it?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:07 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 41] made in heaven is universe-tier macro and micro gravitational manipulation, as well as, kind of fringe-y, fate manipulation, soul manipulation, metaphysics manipulation, so on and so forth. pucci just didn't get creative enough, i think

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 06:08 PM

I mean, Pucci had a specific goal in mind. Besides, I don't know if he could control all of those outside of MiH's speed/reset ability

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:10 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 42] it's as much fate manipulation as kira's bites the dust ability, which made everything happen as it happened before. thats actually a direct parallel i can make, because that was kind of pucci's goal there metaphysics manipulation if the SBR universe is because of the imperfect reset caused by that goal getting interrupted with pucci's death soul manipulation because it was explicitly mentioned that anyone who died during the reset was replaced by someone with a different soul

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 43] pucci also didn't use his gravity manipulation to let him just fall towards jolyne instead of having to swim towards her in the final fight, focusing too much on the speed boost he was able to abuse by letting himself exist as a technically accelerated part of the reset

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 44] so he definitely missed some tricks with his stand, i think

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 06:12 PM

I thought the point was that the same souls were reincarnated so they remembered everything that was fated to happen to them. Also, the family trees in Irene's universe and the SBR universe don't match up, so I'm pretty sure they're seperate.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:13 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 45] fair enough, but i do recall it being specifically mentioned that if someone died, they got replaced by someone with a different soul somewhere.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 46] same actions, different people

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 47] checked the wiki, and pucci himself says it. huh

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 48] the man knows the basics of his stand, at least, which tracks

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 49] still, all that stuff i mentioned is knock-on effects. the primary use is time manipulation via gravity. thinking back to the anime, wasn't dio basically flying when in timestop? i think i could do that, maybe

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 06:20 PM

Oh yeah, gravity is deffo fucked during timestop.

Thought I think a lot of the "flying" was just jumping, there was just so much dialogue that it was streched out into something that looked like flight

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:21 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 50] well, i suppose i'll be able to check, wont i

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 51] lmao

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 52] thinking about it, i think its kind of clicked to me why gravity would be fucked in timestop. dio thinks he can control his own destiny with sufficient time, effort, and resources, fate represented by gravity represents in the jojo series, which affects time as seen by pucci's stand. jotaro thinks he can rewrite destiny for people dear to him with the same dedication put in, and he is the kind of guy to try shitty one-liners and act like your stereotypical tough guy protagonist, so that kind of tracks too? im trying to apply logic to early-series weirdness

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 06:26 PM

A guy called Hamon Beat has made some good videos on the topic. I'm not a fan of his personality, but he makes good videos.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:26 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 53] that idea of control would possibly extend to fighting against fate, thus leading to gravity suspension powers, albeit very brief thats fair, ill have to look him up

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 54] honestly it might help get my head off the subject and back to understanding my stand better. like i said a while back, i dont think it's just timestop, but i doubt it's made in heaven tier as a baseline

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 06:28 PM

Yeah, MiH had been upgraded twice. Though with shit like Bohemian Rhapsody and every main villain stand, we know that stand can get super busted.

Not that I can remember offhand, but it would make sense

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:31 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 56] it was something like 'slipping through dimensions would ordinarily tear it apart, so maintaining gravity for itself is critical' (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 06:33 PM

Yeah, probably. It's probably just very minor gravity correction, not proper concious gravity control, but it's still there (edited)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:35 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 57] secondary superpowers are still important to note, though: if i can knock myself into different dimensions, having the ability to maintain stability as i travel would help quite a bit. it may also have effects against stuff like sting, should i be able to change how i manipulate gravity

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 59] decided to take things at a nice jogging pace, and ive already bumped into a corpse. back of it says 'vault 34,' so maybe this was the fiends trying to steal the guns in here?

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 60] well. not vault 34, but the jumpsuit is vault tec, so

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 61] thankfully the radiation has subsided pretty well. im seeing a lot of moss and fungus around here, looks a big magical tbh

Xanderpy 01-Dec-20 06:53 PM

Downsides, you got a hell portal in your base. Upsides, you can make your own EVO's, and you are now a litteral archangel. And since it is a 600 point perk, it is boosted FURTHER by Higher Being. Like holy shit you are a bonafide doom slayer now, minus all the rage. And can summon maykers to aid you in battle. This perk seems to give your mind a boost when controlling massive amounts of creatures, so that hive mind boost is nice. I recommend you combine the staff and stone of Aja into one item to focus your SOUL and LIGHT through, make your own Staff of the Magi. A few more perks like that Kahn Mayker and you might be able to hold your own against an endbringer. Seriously, you could probably blow up mountains using the staff and stone In conjunction with your light and soul, with only moderate effort. Now with the perk analysis over, I wonder how the locals are taking to the anti-rad moss

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 06:55 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 63] y'know, that's a combo i didn't even think about, i kind of forgot about the staff (though its more of a toothpick as is for my makyr body). using it with the red stone of aja would be overpowered, and the lasers i could make would be pretty damn scary per-shot if i could focus them through it. size may be the only limiting factor here

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 64] i need a telescoping attachment to my alchemiter

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 65] that would let me just make a copy of the staff, upscale it for *10 grist per stage, maybe upscale the red stone too

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 66] all i would need is the appropriate amount of grist

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 67] something else to add to the goal list, i suppose. i wonder if i can hybridize the staff and stone into my gunblade

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Dec-20 07:02 PM

God, a giant Aja stone. That would be a nightmare for anyone trying to fuck with you.

Xanderpy 01-Dec-20 07:02 PM

Also add a red hook to make it a melee weapon and that cabochon and you got a neato weapon. Don't forget about your sentinel armor as well. Always wear protection.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Dec-20 07:03 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 68] i have my doubts that the sentinel armor is all that great, but i dont know enough about doom to say one way or the other. i know praetor is the hot shit but you can still get ripped apart by demons if you like

Xanderpy 01-Dec-20 07:03 PM

Lol put the giant Aja stone inside of a mock artillery an you got a fuck-off laser

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 69] honestly i hope combining it with the crystalline shards from the farmstead and the red hook will have good effects. i don't think i need a planet-buster yet, though.

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 70] i need to find which card i put my riflescythe in so i can upgrade it further

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 71] found it. i think my sensory suite expanded some since getting the second divine boost. it is unpleasant (edited)

Xanderpy 01-Dec-20 07:11 PM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 73] at some point, even if you aim a laser, it becomes an AoE attack, what with heat and other radiant energies and such

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 74] im just gonna get sting to help split em open and then end em, once i crack the effect. if i get more tinker powers i should be able

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 93] normally im really concerned about stuff like that, but right now all im really getting is the feeling like i really ought to be a little more worried rather than actually being worried

Xanderpy 02-Dec-20 09:27 AM

ah

Goodbye, Caroline in effect

don't worry

it only happens when you want it to

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 02-Dec-20 09:28 AM

Higher Being should make sure it wont happen when you don't want it to

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 02-Dec-20 09:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 95] because i certainly didnt deliberately do this, im pretty happy about having a sense of ethics and i'd rather not risk violating them

Xanderpy 02-Dec-20 09:29 AM

true

so probably not that

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 02-Dec-20 09:29 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 96] it might have something to do with the neurological architecture of my new body, certain things not sparking quite as well while others do so at a much better rate

Xanderpy 02-Dec-20 09:30 AM

honestly the best uses for Goodbye Caroline would be to delete your fear or hesitation temporarily

for better decision making in combat

but yeah these changes are probably your new physiology

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 02-Dec-20 09:31 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 97] thats a good point, but i'd be an idiot to start relying on it i think. living beings can't just delete parts of their personality, so i struggle to imagine the kind of damage it could cause me

Xanderpy 02-Dec-20 09:33 AM

would be bad to rely on it. but it states that if you DO want it to ever return, enough will stay to make you want to bring it back, and Higher Being should help make sure you don't accidentally delete something important.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 02-Dec-20 09:34 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 98] that. doesnt really convince me at all, im worried about the aftereffects the most

Xanderpy 02-Dec-20 09:35 AM

ah like when you get your ethics back, having a mental breakdown?

yeah that would be a problem.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 02-Dec-20 09:37 AM

[Forged Esoterica - Day 12 - 99] yeah that's a problem i don't see a solution to other than not using that perk 99% of the time

Xanderpy 02-Dec-20 09:38 AM

probably use it when you need to do something, but a certain personality trait prevents you from doing what you need to do, like fear, or doubt

Oof

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 07:49 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 3] Fricking magical coding finally bothering to send a thing through... Anyways. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the thing on the TV said you guys were familiar with situations like mine. Extrauniversal kidnapping victim, phenomenal cosmic power, entirely too many fires to put out. That sort of thing. (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 07:51 PM

Yeah, there's a few other people on here in somewhat similar situations.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 07:52 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 4] Well, glad to hear I'm not alone, at least. I also heard this place was connected to my Earth. 2020, plagues and all, but nothing exceptionally unbelievable.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 07:53 PM

Only you and Russell were actually kidnapped - he was given the Forge V2 and sent to Ancient Greece. Ston!Ded and Mary were just given the V2 forge and the Garden of Eternity while staying in their own worlds. Well, Mary's a Jumper, so she's going to be swept off to a different world when she turns 20, but that's a bit down the line.

And yeah, this is 2020 on Earth Covid.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 07:56 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 5] I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at that designation of good old home sweet home. Can't say I'm actually seeing where communications with the others are in here, but I am glad I won't have to explain everything now. Before anything else, I think some introductions are in order. Feel free to call me Ava, if you like. (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 07:57 PM

Nice to meet you, Ava. Don't suppose you know a guy called Robin?

This is the channel his messages usually come down.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 07:59 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 6] I know a lot of people who go by that. You'd have to get more specific if you mean any specific ordinary person. I'm gonna take a leap of faith here and guess - Yep, figured. Someone in a vaguely similar situation, then.

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 7] If that's the case, probably not, no, unless they're very good at hiding super-science and happen to be connected to a world of mine.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:00 PM

Yeah. I kinda assumed you were him until you introduced yourself, haha.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:00 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 8] Fair enough, it's an easy mistake, and it's late, to boot.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:00 PM

He's pretty good at hiding, but that's more himself than his stuff.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:01 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 9] I see. Well, that's another possible reason why I haven't bumped into him, yet. If he's usually the one chatting in here, either we are connected somehow, or are liable to be in the future, though I couldn't really guess how at this stage of things.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:01 PM

(Can we see the message headers ic?)

Maybe you were taken by the same ROB?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:02 PM

(yep! ordinary characters can't, though)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:03 PM

Actually, was your entire house transported to a giant concrete room with a nearby building with a bunch of doors in it?

That's what happened to Robin. Each door goes to a different universe based on fiction.

Also, you might wanna look for a book named "Collector's Commercials" around your house if Robin is anything to go by.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:05 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 10] Hm. Similar circumstances, for certain. That might be the connection. I wonder if we share any worlds in common... I haven't seen any books, but I have seen actual commercials. Usually around midnight. It's where I get my abilities, among other things, from. (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:06 PM

Oh, you've already gotten some abilities? And I guess Robin had an "Esoterica" for his Forged Esoterica, while you have Commercials for your Collector's Commercials.

Don't suppose you were able to copy stuff from the commercials into a document?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:08 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 11] I jotted down all the text I could from those commercials. It's quite a bit, around a hundred twenty different benefits. Not sure I want to risk sharing it on here, though, considering I don't exactly know the character of Robin. For all I know, that'd lead to a chance for any personal weaknesses of mine to be exploited, and some unfortunate circumstances to occur.

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 12] I'm going to have to ask you forgive any paranoia on my part. I'm presently trying to deal with multiple potential apocalyptic scenarios at the same time, so caution is the name of the game, here.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:12 PM

Oh yeah, that's fair.

I'd say Robin is a moral person - he's reluctant to kill, even in an environment where people are resurrected daily. But if you want to keep your perks private, that's totally fine.

Are you be able to scroll up and read through his messages? You could probably get an idea of his character from those.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:16 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 13] That's a bit reassuring. Even so, I think I'll at least save the reveal for when more people are awake, and when I can get a few more accounts for his behavior. As for scrolling up, it's as if the channel began existing from the moment I made my first message, so no, unfortunately.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:16 PM

Ah. That's a shame.

Despite the sketchy perks he was saddled with, he's good people. His connection is down at the moment, I think, but hopefully you can talk with him once he comes back on.

Robin's been noting down all of his perks too, so maybe you and him can compare what you got.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:22 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 14] Here's hoping. I have noted my own mental state shifting with some of the perks I've gotten, so I'll just hope he doesn't have the same issue. I was planning on going to bed soon-ish, given the hour it is on my end, but if you like, I can do a bit of Q&A. Help clear what's going on on my end of things, to the extent I'm comfortable doing that, set expectations for people when it's less 'midnight' and more 'morning.'

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:24 PM

Yeah, I think most people are going to bed or asleep around this time. Q: I assume you have access to multiple universes?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:25 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 15] A: Entirely correct. I have access to ten different ones, which I won't be elaborating on right now, not including my Warehouse. Technically speaking, I could quite easily access more, but they'd be connected to one of the ten. (edited)

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:27 PM

Huh. Totally different works of fiction, or just alternate universes within those works of fiction? Or would you prefer not to answer?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:28 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 16] Alternate universes within those works of fiction, though I could possibly break into other works. It's not an ability I've invested too heavily into, for fear of losing myself to the insanity that is micromanaging infinite multiverses.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:30 PM

Yeah, that's fair. Have you noticed a pattern to which perks get you doors and which don't? Robin hasn't gotten a door for every perk he's gotten, and some have been off from what he expected. Not sure if he's solved that one yet. Have you noticed a pattern in your doors showing up, or are you not at liberty to discuss?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:31 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 17] No pattern I'm aware of, other than them all being fictional, of course. Popularity might factor into it, but that's a weak guess on my part, at best.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:36 PM

Huh. Have you gotten a door for every perk's setting so far, or do some perks not come with doors? Or are you not at liberty to discuss?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:37 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 18] Most perks don't come with doors. Not even a tenth of them, really.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:38 PM

Okay, just making sure. Dang, you must be getting perks from a LOT of different settings, then.

As for the fiction thing, more popular series are more likely to have been seen by whatever is behind this, or maybe it's only works of fiction you're passingly familiar with.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:39 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 19] As I said, I have around 120 various things I draw from. Did you expect a great deal of repeats? I can't say I'm especially familiar with a couple of the worlds I've been introduced to. I'm still working on learning what the underpinnings of those worlds have to offer me.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:40 PM

Yeah, Robin's had a few repeats.

Have you been at this for 14 days? That's about how long Robin's been at it.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:42 PM

[Collector's Commercials - Day 14 - 20] I suppose today would be the two week anniversary, yes. Not sure whether or not I'm entirely happy about that, but it is what it is.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 03-Dec-20 08:44 PM

(Have a test so I might leave for a few hours)

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 03-Dec-20 08:45 PM

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:17 AM

Maybe you should get a bit of rest first? Make sure you don't regret it later or anything. I'm not saying we're not trustworthy, but you don't really have a good reason to trust us yet. Your choice.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:19 AM

[Day 15 - 7] Fair point. Like I said, I'm just considering it at the moment. It'd at least be a talking point. I don't have many of those at the moment.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:20 AM

Yeah, true. I guess there wouldn't be much to talk about without giving at least some stuff away.

Robin has Worm as well, how did the Lung fight go in your instance? If you're lucky, you could team up with him.

Also damn, you've accomplished a lot of stuff.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:30 AM

[Day 15 - 10] There's a lot you can do with careful application of skills and knowledge. I couldn't tell you how the Lung fight went, though - I ended up appearing near the Dragonslayers' base, and haven't been able to head south yet.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:31 AM

Robin started in Brockton. There might be a thread on PHO about it? He's identifiable as a misty figure with wings and claws.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:32 AM

[Day 15 - 11] I'll have to check. Dragon may be able to help me out.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:33 AM

I believe Armsmaster has met Robin, though I can't remember the name he gave offhand.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:34 AM

[Day 15 - 12] Hm. It could be possible Armsmaster once again took credit, in which case I may well see nothing about this.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica - Day 10 - 96] still opted to not take credit. im gonna guess because of a lack of a real cape name and an attempt to limit info spreading - empire and all that. did mention that id personally be ok with him reporting it to his superiors, though i wanted to stay out of the news until i was good and damn well ready, and taylor went with that too armsmaster went off to make sure lung doesnt die of anything now that hes unconscious

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:35 AM

[Day 15 - 13] I can't see the reply, but I can see the copy/pasted text.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:36 AM

Okay, good to know.

So Armsmaster may have told people about Robin while still taking the credit. Actually, you could probably just check if Lung's crotch rotted off, since he tried to prevent that.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:39 AM

[Day 15 - 14] ...Honestly, I'm not sure what sort of impression that would end up giving Dragon. That seems like it'd be a door to open some particularly awkward questions. I will ask if he suffered from serious poisoning, though.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:39 AM

Yeah, probably for the best.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:44 AM

[Day 15 - 15] Seems like Lung was severely poisoned from the details I've gathered, though the exact degree isn't specified. No mention of any body parts rotting off, though that could've been her sparing me the gory details.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:44 AM

Huh. So either you got a different Worm, or things didn't go so well.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:45 AM

[Day 15 - 16] Hard to say with limited information. Regardless, I'll be continuing on as though all was normal.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:45 AM

Yeah, better to assume he's not here.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:46 AM

[Day 15 - 17] So that discredits the theory all of our worlds could be linked. It's possible it's as low as one, though.

[Day 15 - 18] Or that something stranger and harder to perceive is the potential linking factor. There has to be a reason I'm able to chat with you all.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:47 AM

Yeah, true.

Xanderpy 06-Dec-20 11:48 AM

in the fallout world, are you near vault 34 at all? easy way to check if you share worlds

cause vault 34 is now home to radiation eating moss

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:49 AM

[Day 15 - 19] I started near Raven Rock, actually. Can't say I recall where Vault 34 is off the top of my head.

Xanderpy 06-Dec-20 11:49 AM

near new vegas

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:49 AM

[Day 15 - 20] Other side of the continent, then. And potentially at another point in time altogether.

Xanderpy 06-Dec-20 11:51 AM

we figured out that when things take place at different times, like the time difference between fallout games, they most likely will have separate doors

and the timelines for the doors are seperate

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:52 AM

^

Xanderpy 06-Dec-20 11:53 AM

so to see that you would need a new vegas door and not a fallout 3 door

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:54 AM

[Day 15 - 21] Well, it's good to know that, at least. I only have the one for Fallout. Here's hoping all's well with all that.

[Day 15 - 22] By that I mean I'm hoping that no sweeping changes we try to make will interfere with one another's.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 11:57 AM

Yeah, ideally if you and him are in the same worlds, you'd be able to cooperate.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 11:59 AM

[Day 15 - 23] I'm not banking on any ideal opportunities being in place. The places I go to tend to have a whole host of problems that would be difficult to deal with on anyone's best day, and things tend to go worse than expected when direct oversight isn't in place.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 12:02 PM

You could probably coordinate through this chat if he can send messages you can see and vice versa

Should let you coordinate and take action at the same time

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:04 PM

[Day 15 - 24] True, but I doubt that it'd be that easy. The blackout of information before my post suggests as much. I suspect that if you all started assisting in the coordination, contact might get cut, as well. It'd be in chaacter for how things typically go, here.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 12:04 PM

True.

If nothing else, radios or something might work.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:05 PM

[Day 15 - 25] That's true. I could quite easily handle remote contact.

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:06 PM

So your new to me and at a glance you seem to go hard on the tinkering

I also notice drone tech

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:06 PM

[Day 15 - 26] Drone technology was one of the first things I got, yes.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 12:07 PM

I don't think I've seen it in the main Worm jump

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:07 PM

That’s the thing

It stuck out to me

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 12:08 PM

Maybe you got a door to a Worm fanfiction jump or something, and that's why Robin isn't there? I dunno.

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:09 PM

Also if I were you I’d get comfortable in the PR and never leave

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 12:09 PM

Honestly same.

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:10 PM

But I’m weirdly comfortable with isolation

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:10 PM

[Day 15 - 27] I wouldn't know. The commercials are all pretty... Well, kind of generic is putting it gently. Figuring out the source material takes a little guesswork, when it isn't stated. As for setting up shop in there, as much as it appeals, I do need to stretch my legs and talk with people sometimes. I went kind of squirrely in my first week with only dragon to chat with.

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:11 PM

Like I don’t want a body, so infomorph upload as soon as possible, then I don’t have to worry about that meat for the first time in my life

Xanderpy 06-Dec-20 12:11 PM

the only worlds i see that you could share is worm, among us, and prey. cant remember if he got the doors for persona, undertale, portal, half-life or DOOM.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 06-Dec-20 12:11 PM

I think your Bob the Builder perks might be from a generic builder jump.

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:12 PM

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:17 PM

...could you do the infomorph thing

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:18 PM

[Day 15 - 30] Not at this stage. My body is, and always will be, amorphous goo, at this point.

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:19 PM

Because as soon as you could convert a copy of your brain to a digital format you’ve got immortality

Like that one series

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:21 PM

[Day 15 - 31] Altered Carbon? The only thing that could possible allow me to do that is the perk from Portal. And I like being a living organism who doesn't have identity issues from being copy-and-pasted on every device in range. You can stop pushing for it.

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:22 PM

Hopefully you get something better in time

But yeah I’ll stop

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:24 PM

[Day 15 - 32] Come to think of it, technically speaking, I could maybe do something using the Simulation Rig for that purpose, but it would be violently unpleasant and probably kill my organic body by shorting out whatever my nervous system at this point looks like, if it isn't running off fiat at this point.

[Day 15 - 33] Mm. Regardless. New subjects. Don't want to get distracted, here.

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:27 PM

I assume your brain is decentralized among all your cells, working as a little minihiveminded consciousness

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:29 PM

[Day 15 - 34] It's possible. It's also possible it's something more spiritual, like a poltergeist puppeteering an environment, only more specified. Could also be that I'm a psychic phenomenon now that's tied to a vaguely-defined cluster of 'organic' matter, not unlike a Typhon.

[Day 15 - 35] I'm still trying to figure out all that, myself.

Gazzer 06-Dec-20 12:31 PM

Something for testing if you can do it non-harmfully

But basically you’re in the same boat as Trainwreck, come to think of it

But he had steam powered Augs to cover his body like a crab

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:33 PM

[Day 15 - 36] Hm. Hadn't considered it that way before. That has... Concerning implications, to say the least.

How so? (edited)

Ava | Your New Perspective [Forged Esoterica] BOT 06-Dec-20 12:35 PM

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 04:36 PM

She was just the first person I thought of since she's used to dealing with clients with powers, but there's probably other therapists too.

[21 - 10] probably, but shes jack slash levels of good at managing people with issues

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 04:38 PM

By the way, I'm not banking on it, but can you see messages from an account named "Ava | Your New Perspective"? They appeared on this channel, and they seemed to be in a similar situation to you. They see infomercials instead of having an esoterica, though. They have a door to the Wormverse too, and I was wondering if you'd be able to see if it's the same Wormverse.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 04:39 PM

[21 - 14] im not sure what to make of all that tbh, especially not right now

[21 - 15] kind of worried the fucker who kidnapped me might be doing this to make entertainment for you guys, which is kinda disturbing. mightve been an interlude-y thing based on the name

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 04:42 PM

You might also want to get other people outside this Discord you can trust and can keep for company. With how flaky the connection can be, it would be good to get more company than a 13-year-old and an alien.

Yeah, seems like some sort of interlude.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 04:44 PM

[21 - 16] i dont even know where id begin looking for friends, all things considered. given how, frankly, fucked up a lot of the stuff ive been dealing with is, idk who i could find that is normal enough to give me any sense of normalcy but can also withstand the absolute insanity thats going on in here

[21 - 17] at some point even showing up is potentially enough to set of the CCC's sensors so i cant really look there, and i dont wanna traumatize any ordinary people there to boot sburb's earth is fucked, i started the game so i cant go looking there terraria might be an option, i guess??? but eye of cthulhu is relatively normal there so maybe not prey's probably fucked half life universe might be an option? but its also fucked

[21 - 18] ...that first part was about henry stickmin. mentally speaking i am deceased

[21 - 19] best friendships for my mental stability i could have are probably at a massive remove now that i consider it

You don't necessarily need to look for the perfect friend, just a good one.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 04:55 PM

[21 - 20] true. i just feel constantly overwhelmed i guess. this is another thing for the pile of things to work on

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 04:56 PM

Ideally, you'll be able to get some good allies you can rely on to deal with things. You really shouldn't have to do everything yourself.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 04:57 PM

[21 - 22] i feel like i might just be turning into a workaholic

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:00 PM

Would a schedule be good, or would it stress you out more? Mandated work and rest periods.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:01 PM

[21 - 23] theres pros and cons to it, but honestly ive never been good with those. i can barely set a sleep schedule, nevermind one for dealing with more complex issues

[21 - 24] not to mention as problems pile on the schedule would inevitably stop working under the strain of too many balls in the air at once

[21 - 25] then i have a mental breakdown, hole myself up, and flip my shit as everything goes to hell

[21 - 26] in some cases literally, seeing as i have not one but two places where hell is a definitive issue

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:04 PM

I still think allies is a good solution to the need to be in so many places at once. Delegate stuff to people who can manage it.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:06 PM

[21 - 27] not arguing that, at least on an intellectual level. i can almost see how much thatd help off pure guesswork, but stuff on an instinctive level is hard to unlearn. at least on my own

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:07 PM

[21 - 35] solid point, i like the idea. i think ill see if i can replicate and interrupt grey boy's power first, then just slap em in a big ol bubble. my stand ought to protect me from that stuff, to say nothing of the time-warping crystals i got

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:18 PM

Oh, that's a good idea.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:18 PM

[21 - 36] once theyre actively dying at the start of the loop, i break it and let jack die

[21 - 37] because thats how jack got to talk to scion at the end of canon. stuck in a grey boy loop

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:19 PM

Yeah. A time stop bubble a la Bakuda's could also work. Dauntless was able to be thrown into one, so you could probably spear them from the outside or something.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:20 PM

[21 - 38] oh, thats an even better idea. and a lot more plausible too that reminds me, ive been working on my stand/persona, and it seems to be an act stand which is nice

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:20 PM

Oh damn, it's in acts? Hell yeah!

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:22 PM

[21 - 39] effects on time are a lot more limited than my first experience goes, i seem to only be able to affect one thing at a time with temporal effects, but if its me then i start to be able to replicate jojo shenanigans. aka, i could throw a bunch of knives, stop time on one for a few seconds, then another, or i could try to freeze myself and get proper timestop, though that eats into the actual timing. the rule seems to carry through acts, objects are easier than me

[21 - 40] second act can affect the tempo of time, slow it down or speed it up in a limited manner. hell of a thing though, wipes me out fast depending on how long i use it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:24 PM

Huh. Made in Heaven lite.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:24 PM

[21 - 41] yeah pretty much, its like if made in heaven was a normal stand

[21 - 42] which admittedly has made me curious about what the requiem and heaven variants of my stand could look like, but im not eager to explore those routes

[21 - 43] im not prepared for the bullshit of potentially infinite deaths, soul-based reality warping, etc etc

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:26 PM

Oh yeah, requiems should be saved for later.

I think heaven ascension is made to turn a person's stand specifically into Made in Heaven? I guess it depends whether Eyes of Heaven is canon or not.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:27 PM

[21 - 44] technically i can do req whenever due to being able to manufacture the stand virus so its a viable option whenever i get over myself heaven ascension is more or less wish fulfilment via what your stand naturally does and gravity, i think?? like. tusk with that would be ridonkulous

[21 - 45] i havent researched for multiple reasons tbh

[21 - 46] you can prolly guess what those are

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:30 PM

Yeah

[21 - 54] adam and i have been trading places in the steel ball run race occasionally, but hes using most of his time there. he actually got ganked by the dino doc a while ago but seems to have dinosaur powers now. i still feel like his stand is gradually developing tho

[21 - 55] double checked on jojo part 1 for zombies and vampires with my makyr form. its magic synergizes stupidly well with hamon

[21 - 56] said magic works horribly when dealing with the radiance's infection from hollow knight, so that body is presently out of commission

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 05:46 PM

Oh nice, he snagged Scary Monsters.

Yeah, I guess different powers will have different strengths and weaknesses as far as synergy is concerned.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 05:47 PM

[21 - 57] hes also got a little bit of tusk's power. has a definite wind-up time i think his stand might copy other stands, which is terrifying

the best utility you have gotten though is nothing up my sleve. just make a silo full of ammo, have as big a machine gun as you can put in your bag of holding, and you can just summon ammo from your warehouse to fill the gun, regardless of RoF.

Kamui 07-Dec-20 10:59 PM

the radiance's plague is some fucked combination of metaphysical, memetic, and biological

You might actually be able to do something about it on some of those levels

to reclaim your makyr body so you can do some BS like give it a Stone of Aja as a focus for its own hamon-like powers

[22 - 58] honestly that might make the problem significantly worse given it piggybacked on its own natural light/holy based magical bullshit dont worry though, im working on something that ought to flip that whole plague issue on its head >:)

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:02 PM

Actually you can probably fight the Radiance's plague on every level it operates on thanks to just how esoteric your abilities can be

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:03 PM

[22 - 59] one part discordance, one part counter-plague was the idea discordance being the language/law of dead suns, as a refresher, which i find personally ironic in this instance

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:03 PM

Yeah, a conceptually-opposed counter agent

with some psychonauts know-how applied to purge mental influence

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:05 PM

[22 - 60] that sort of stuff tends to be 'punch shit in its brain via psychic doorway' and i am missing a key figure from that, the door

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 11:06 PM

Metaverse nav?

Could that work?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:06 PM

[22 - 61] not without a clear palace construct, but a dream nail would probably do it

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:07 PM

Also you are still a Higher Being, giving you more conceptual weight

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:08 PM

[22 - 62] yeah, its part of why im banking on plague and prose being enough to win this

[22 - 63] oh damn that sounded kind of fanciful. im turning into a wizard or something

You're basically close enough to call yourself a sorceror

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:09 PM

[22 - 65] nah i straight up am one. i have mana

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:10 PM

Can you use those Staffs of yours?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:11 PM

[22 - 66] the umbra staff should be relatively easy, given an idiot wizard could use em well the staff of ages less so, given it takes a master to wield, but i can probably cheat that with brute force since im a god

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:12 PM

They might synergize together somehow

you can also go eat stars in terrarria

that'll juice you

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:13 PM

[22 - 67] staff of ages is basically a magical battery of sorts that could be used as a focus thats a good point that i havent put enough effort to. ill have the hive mind do it

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:13 PM

aren't you uncapped on building up health and mana from terrarian sources anyway?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:14 PM

[22 - 68] as long as i have terrarian off, yeah

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:16 PM

Honestly as long as you don't fight the Wall you should be reasonably able to handle Terraria at this point

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:17 PM

How many bodies are in the hivemind at this point anyway?

Wait, you have cloning facilities for carapacians

Could you manufacture an army

or does the cloning process make them into too much of their own people

Dubiously Motivated Pika 07-Dec-20 11:36 PM

I assume it's ectobiology or some such

Or is that a different item?

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:37 PM

yeah the ectobiology lab comes with a full carapacian cloning facility

...can you use ectobiology to make More Beans

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:40 PM

you already have almost 7300 people working on mining out prehardmode?

or doing... whatever the fuck

I'm not actually entirely sure how your hivemind works

Now that I think about it, if you can get Surgeon and Shaper to not burn your brain out somehow you can basically just kind of fuckroll Most Things with an army of carapacian EVOs

Congratulations, you're within spitting distance of becoming something Not Entirely Unlike a Commander

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:45 PM

[22 - 73] its mostly a massive process of managing entirely too much sensory data to really work well as an individual, but complete basic tasks with mass amounts of bodies an such and yeah, its a lot of 'people.' terraria is big theres also the issue of getting anything too big out of the warehouse, though the pocket dimension helps with that a lil, assuming it doesnt age to death in there

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:46 PM

Surgeon and Shaper should be able to keep EVOs from becoming too monstrous to be deployable while also optimizing the hell out of their actual performance

Also you might consider like, creating an entirely new custom body to make your primary

so you have the centralized processing power to actually do some of this crazy bullshit

And while we're talking about crimes against biology, let's turn Shaper on and dunk our hand into a big bucket fulla ADAM

that sounds like fun

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:50 PM

[22 - 74] it was not, swapped to my yautja body so i didnt get sick

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:50 PM

information overload?

shard going (DATA) and giving you hella thinker headaches?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:51 PM

[22 - 75] its some amazing stuff but its the shaper/surgeon issue again, but if the last one was just seeing too much stuff this was food poisoning

[22 - 76] an entirely different flavor of 'fuck'

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:52 PM

You really need to figure out how to jailbreak your shard connection or whatever the fuck it is would allow you to get into using some of this horrifying bullshit you got

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:53 PM

[22 - 77] honestly this might be what it looks like jailbroken, some of this stuff just is entirely too potent for it

Kamui 07-Dec-20 11:54 PM

it's kind of rough to be thirty two horrors in one and just not be able to leverage it (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 07-Dec-20 11:54 PM

[22 - 78] this might also be my brain at 6 am not processing things well

Kamui 08-Dec-20 12:01 AM

understandable

as someone who also stays awake for no good reason every night because insomnia

The Sky Key? To represent unlocking her chains and letting her fly.

Ava's already helped Dragon in her version of Worm, so that would be a good way to check if you and her have the same Worm.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 02:09 PM

[22 - 97] noted. i havent seen any news of dragon ramping up production or anything, so there's that. id think she'd work a lot faster if she were unshackled

Dubiously Motivated Pika 08-Dec-20 02:10 PM

Yeah, makes sense. Lung was badly poisoned in her world, which I don't believe happened in yours?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 02:11 PM

[22 - 98] yeah no i basically brought him to low atmosphere to help deal with that and informed armsmaster on what was up there

[22 - 99] taylor had gotten to him some but it wasn't nearly as bad as it couldve been for the bastard

Dubiously Motivated Pika 08-Dec-20 02:12 PM

Kamui 08-Dec-20 03:25 PM

As we previously discussed you can basically bully Radiance's plague on every level it operates on

If you went into SBurb and got God Tier you could probably straight up usurp the Void itself

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 03:27 PM

[22 - 104] that's assuming i haven't changed in the years between now and when i was 13 to where the aspect id have represented hasnt shifted

[22 - 109] ...yknow what? thats fine actually, means another red stone isnt in play and it ends well enough anyways

[22 - 110] i do think turning on myth in jojos would help out, though, maybe establish a little continuity

Dubiously Motivated Pika 08-Dec-20 03:32 PM

Oh, good idea.

Kamui 08-Dec-20 03:33 PM

Can you apply some of the makyr's physiology to yourself to help boost your human body's hamon?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 03:34 PM

[22 - 111] given what happened with it im gonna try to avoid doing that tbh - point of weakness and all that

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 03:35 PM

[22 - 112] the anti-plague part is the easy bit but id have to be putting up discordance everywhere which would be time consuming. would let me beef up the grimmchild tho

[22 - 115] man. i decided to visit terrarialand and its surreal, i already knew id built up kind of a city there for the hive mind but its one thing seeing it in that sort of abstract mindset and another in person all the zombies around are kind of unnerving, but at least theyre being productive with a few autonomous commands

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 03:56 PM

[22 - 116] i did that with the darkest mobs actually

[22 - 117] they seem relatively stronger than your average person as a baseline thing

The Darkest and Most Vile Creatures being used for completely mundane shit

hilarious

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 03:58 PM

[22 - 118] yup. i could also probably make some yautja and makyr clones with basic intelligence then hive mind them, or other such things actually im gonna do that right now that sounds like a great idea

Kamui 08-Dec-20 03:59 PM

Maybe experiment with EVO creation, see if you can get a labor-specialized cyberzombie or some BS

Running Shaper by itself should allow you to more efficiently hybridize your various thrall races

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 04:00 PM

[22 - 119] itll also let me abuse the ectobiology lab for non-carapacian stuff ill make an evo in terraria as i go, but if it breaks my control this is gonna be my last time using that ability. im not having kaiju destroy everything

Kamui 08-Dec-20 04:00 PM

Yeah

I mean I don't see why it SHOULD

the thing you're EVOing is already a minion

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 04:03 PM

[22 - 120] its a magical minion, whereas evos are more on the technical side of things could result in mutual interference

[22 - 121] i dont seem to have any control whatsoever on what sort of evo i can get so thats a major issue. my first attempt at this nearly made a biomechanical von neumann swarm of nanites and flesh which i had to kill pretty fast

Kamui 08-Dec-20 04:04 PM

Well shit

Maybe Surgeon could do something to control EVO creation? Lord knows Bonesaw loved her cyberware

it also sucks that EVOs default towards kaiju rather than kaijin

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 04:06 PM

[22 - 122] as it stands, i feel like id have to do some serious work to understand how my nanites work, as far as programming for evo creation goes, and then use my programming knowledge to unfuck things a lil

Kamui 08-Dec-20 04:06 PM

something human-scale would be much more useful

Like until you require macro-scale construction beasts

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 04:08 PM

[22 - 123] by the time i need that, i dont think the randomization aspect of this would be very good. evos tend to be geared for destruction more than anything if i recall the show right?

[22 - 124] ...i forgot to work on the big daddies and little sisters FUCK

[22 - 125] ok, so, to do list for the moment: make cure for big daddy/little sister/big sister conditions make clones of makyrs, predators, and whatever else is suggested, then try for hybrids

[22 - 126] thankfully the former should be easy with that slice of rapture i got, i have samples that i can take and lee helped me map the place out some so i can get to pheromone control pretty easily

Kamui 08-Dec-20 04:12 PM

yeah, go fix the mistakes of other, less competent people

and then OPTIMIZE MEAT

You have the Troll Matriorb too so you have Alternian genes to work with

maybe they have something to offer besides a predilection towards violent insanity

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 04:14 PM

[22 - 127] i am not calling other people less competent, cause whoever the fuck designed rapture with 1960s tech impresses me. i will, however, call them less reasonable and sane admittedly they made some cool stuff but There's Issues ...i still havent found the matriorb either tbh

[22 - 128] i need to like. go looking for half the shit i got at some point

Kamui 08-Dec-20 04:14 PM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 04:15 PM

even with seven thousand helping hands

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 04:15 PM

[22 - 133] too much stress to function well? prolly that

Kamui 08-Dec-20 04:16 PM

because you're still thinking like a human instead of an eldritch Other with thousands of bodies

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 04:17 PM

[22 - 134] i mean, even as a human i could still get that done

procrastination is a very human trait yeah

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 07:22 PM

Gazzer 08-Dec-20 08:05 PM

fair enough

Kamui 08-Dec-20 08:56 PM

Definitely make sure that the DIscordance is doing exactly what you want it to do, and no more

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Dec-20 08:57 PM

[23 - 4] im probably gonna set up some correspondence at the edges of hallownest to prevent it from going out too far

Kamui 08-Dec-20 08:57 PM

Probably a good plan, yeah

Also is there anything else outside of it besides that desert as far as you can tell?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 10-Dec-20 10:16 AM

(noted)

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 6] took until lunch to get through with it, so i ended up with something new

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 7] im now an admin on everything but here. so i guess my perks dont extend home

Xanderpy 10-Dec-20 10:21 AM

So how goes the destruction of the radiance?

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 10-Dec-20 10:23 AM

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 8] well, presumably. destroyed that one statue on the cliff, so thats the last obvious artifact gone

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 9] also helped get grimm's kid fed while i was wandering around out there. and had the horde sort all the artifacts and stuff i got

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 10] as it turns out its surprisingly hard to build with them outside terraria so i just had [cloud] build some drones to make a shack for that

Xanderpy 10-Dec-20 10:28 AM

how to fight teraria bosses, get summoner gear and SWARM

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 10-Dec-20 10:33 AM

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 11] definitely considering just doing that

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 12] had one slime rain which lead to king slime

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 13] that was relatively easy

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 14] some preliminary investigations into the doom universe seem to be implying some changes. namely, theres cities now. like, proper cities

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 15] in hell (edited)

Gazzer 10-Dec-20 10:42 AM

demon cities orrrr

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 10-Dec-20 10:43 AM

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 16] presumably demon cities, some of the billboards i can pick out from this distance definitely have that sort of vibe

Gazzer 10-Dec-20 10:45 AM

okay then

hell urbanized

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 10-Dec-20 10:46 AM

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 17] it occurs to me that this might be because of that helluva boss perk i got a while ago

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 18] given the body diversity there, almost definitely

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 19] i need to get the fuck away from there creepy bird dude probably lives there

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 20] YEP

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 21] dude was able to open portals, i am now inside his big-ass house and extremely uncomfortable

Gazzer 10-Dec-20 11:09 AM

oh god

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 10-Dec-20 11:11 AM

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 22] dude has fucking demonic space magic i dont have a good counter to that yet i dont think and im havin a bit of a struggle coming up with ideas from predator

[Forged Esoterica - 23 - 23] on the plus side he at least is making it clear he likes me

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 10-Dec-20 11:14 AM

[23 - 24] adam can i pay you to deal with this

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 10-Dec-20 11:17 AM

[23 - 25] Nope. Side note, I'm watching everything go down from a camera implant in one of Robin's eyes. Robin is not good at dealing with getting hit on is the main problem here, I think. That and the whole mindfuck thing from that one perk. I think Higher Being might've amp'd up the guy's power and/or obsession, though? Just a theory. So we may be stuck with dealing with him one way or the other.

[23 - 32] Just switch bodies, man. Seriously. I know you're kind of reeling from the whiplash but I seriously doubt he'd do anything to you while you're sleeping. Anything serious, at any rate.

[23 - 36] yup. ill break out when im not being actively 'seduced' by a giant horny bird demon

Gazzer 10-Dec-20 12:11 PM

He’ll be trying to seduce your comatose body in the mean time

Can you made yourself a new body?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 10-Dec-20 12:14 PM

[23 - 37] not with the same body switching stuff i do with my other bodies

Man, be sure to wash that body religiously

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 10-Dec-20 12:15 PM

[23 - 38] im fairly sure he isnt trying to seduce my comatose body right now, though - i can still feel through all of them and id notice bad touches

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Dec-20 12:15 PM

Yeah

Like I said

Wash religiously

[23 - 41] i just feel like im kind of moving into this state of sort of numb shock mixed with vague amusement, reflecting on all this? like its hard to explain but i tend to overreact and then find it funnier later when i think back to my own overblown reactions which helps blunt things a little

[23 - 42] or something like that im not a psychologist

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Dec-20 12:21 PM

You are coping

Gazzer 10-Dec-20 12:22 PM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 10-Dec-20 12:22 PM

[23 - 49] honestly at this point im kind of wondering exactly how beneficial being a bug god can be. sure, im remarkably magically powerful but one got killed by a baby with a sharp stick basically

Lucky_Plucky21 11-Dec-20 07:34 PM

Frankly

[23 - 50] this introspection brought to you by: getting shot in the face with a shotgun

If you don’t have super bugs like tyranids to govern over it isn’t that much

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 07:35 PM

[23 - 51] fair point

[23 - 52] i need zerg

[23 - 53] and asprin tailored to predator biology

[23 - 54] ...yknow it occurs to me i might wanna go and see if mouse protector didnt die

[23 - 55] balls

[23 - 56] that depressing fuck-up aside, something great's just happened. i have FEV now, and unlike ADAM where it feels like my brain melts it when i poke it with shaper, i can actually use it well

Dubiously Motivated Pika 11-Dec-20 07:47 PM

Oh nice!

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 07:49 PM

[23 - 57] from what im gathering it is effectively low-yield adam with a lot more mutagenic properties. applied correctly, i could probably use this to boost neuroplasticity in anyone affected by it severely, though im not 100% certain thats a good thing. so, good if i wanna give anyone galaxy brains or reprogram who they are, maybe. theres also probably a lot of uses im not piecing together quite yet that i will later

[23 - 58] this stuff is fucking surreal with some of its fringe properties btw, i dont have bonesaw powers on but even with panacea-tier knowledge its still kind of hard to piece together what half the structures in this stuff does

Dubiously Motivated Pika 11-Dec-20 07:51 PM

Maybe you can start trying to redeem villains with the rewriting stuff? It does feel like a bit of a Kira-esque slippery slope.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 07:51 PM

[23 - 59] id maybe use that stuff on like. bakuda, or jack slash

[23 - 60] waste not want not

[23 - 61] id definitely need bonesaw level expertise to weaponize this stuff, though. unless i felt content slapping people while panacea was on the stuff is volatile, like i mentioned earlier. im pretty sure my flesh would start boiling off without that power. im using it right now to just kind of disassemble the stuff into basic compounds

Lucky_Plucky21 11-Dec-20 07:53 PM

Yep

Kamui 11-Dec-20 07:53 PM

yeah FEV is fucky

Lucky_Plucky21 11-Dec-20 07:54 PM

Good luck with that one

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 07:54 PM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 07:54 PM

[23 - 63] i havent played the first couple fallouts but im pretty sure the worst is fucking cazadors

Kamui 11-Dec-20 07:54 PM

Nightkins are caused by stealth boys

Cazadors are a novel creation

Frank Horrigan is the endboss of Fallout 2

he's the first character in the franchise with 10s in all SPECIAL stats

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 07:56 PM

[23 - 64] yknow, that reminds me. i should try to hijack the endbringers

Kamui 11-Dec-20 07:56 PM

The full set of 20?

Lucky_Plucky21 11-Dec-20 07:56 PM

Or the 17 sleeping

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 07:56 PM

[23 - 65] maybe. id be content with the first 3 or 6

Dubiously Motivated Pika 11-Dec-20 07:56 PM

Would this be via Eidolon, or something else?

Kamui 11-Dec-20 07:57 PM

actually he's 12 feet tall

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 07:57 PM

[23 - 66] i'm thinking ill just bypass eidolon and go straight to the source. fenestrated plane it up and it should connect to shardspace, since thats the closest afterlife approximation worm has

[23 - 67] given entities are basically massive civilizations id imagine hijacking an endbringer might be like taking control of a town was there a description of what the endbringer shardspace forms look like in ward?

[23 - 68] otherwise im gonna have to invest a bit more heavily into dimensional connection monitoring than i think im easily capable of at this point in time

[23 - 69] side note, now that i have panacea's power available i thought of an absolutely terrifying threat i can make 'im gonna rewrite your bowels'

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 11-Dec-20 08:08 PM

[23 - 70] what the fuck is wrong with the people who made pip boys. i decided to crack open this damn thing and use my technical skills to help out by making some implants, maybe an optical hud thats a bit better than anything terrarian could offer, and its fucking. vacuum tubes all over the place, im pretty sure the OS is based on BASIC, and 80 other design aspects that make me hate it on a fundamental level

Oh That's Not Good

im not sure how i feel about that but i cant call my impressions positive

Dubiously Motivated Pika 18-Dec-20 03:04 PM

In particular, they want: - Sting - Queen Admin - Imp's Shard - "A few other tools, though those were being worked on."

On the other hand, they don't seem to want to be hostile/parasitic by default, even if they're considering it as a fallback. At least, that's how I'm reading it.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 18-Dec-20 03:07 PM

on one hand, its relieving they arent too close to basically unionizing as another goldengod scenario. on the other, the parasitism thing definitely worries me. hopefully they can draw on my memories of worm to see why thats colossally dumb

i assume they didnt ever clear up how many they mean by 'a few'

okay. im gonna take a bit to recenter myself, and focus on the problem in front of me

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 18-Dec-20 03:21 PM

so. i need to find my key. someone who's a very talented thief with a penchant for the metaphysical has stolen it. current avenues im considering investigating: -The University. god knows the benthic side of things would be interested in it. -The Masters of the Bazaar. not sure why theyd be interested, but its hard to guess the motives of alien space bats sometimes -Thieves in Spite and the Flit. my key may have been one of many things taken in a robbery -Seekers of the Name. technically, my key can unlock the avid horizon door, though that isn't where it'll lead after -Cats. They're more intelligent bastards down here -Rats. Second verse, same as the first -Illusionists at Mahogany Hall. doors to other worlds would interest them, if somehow they caught rumor about what i can do -Someone on behalf of the Fingerkings. Can never tell what the fake snakes are up to -Someone on behalf of the Great Game. Spies are bullshit -Some Revolutionaries. given how much i know, i could see them wanting to investigate what's up with me -Thieves from across the Unterzee. if that's the case, i'm gonna have a hell of a time trying to get them

This could mean people from the Grand Geode, Devils from several islands [though probably not them, as i have renown], Khanigan people, pirates, people from the Iron Republic, and so, so much more, which may mean I'll never find it again.

i'm also probably forgetting some people in this, too

there's probably locations in sunless sea that would be good to investigate but i never got particularly into it before

i'll have cloud scope out things in the university first

someone blew up the library in there. jesus christ. i think this was a plot by some angry librarian originally so its kind of irrelevant but, not fun

people are kind of generally panicking if they were in earshot of the explosion, which is gonna make this annoying to interrogate any of them but easier to look around with cloud. as a side note, ive used jojo invisibility to help myself look around a bit easier.

tasks is making this easier, i think? man, this shit scales up

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 18-Dec-20 03:52 PM

[Online] hey so update: i havent found who's up with this, but i got to the docks and i found a warehouse full of like. thousands of keys. just, assorted, scattered on the ground. think people have been using a skylight to dump em in

communication with everyone else seems to have gotten cut off for some reason, which is really worrying

i really wish i didnt have the thought 'im murdering the person who did this' with any actual meaning

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 20-Dec-20 03:35 AM

also took a nap, had a dream about rain, so i think a god is trying to pry its way into my skull

eldritch god that doesnt really care that its dead

there isnt a mr keys. yet, at least. i cant really figure out why a warehouse full of keys exists, unless someone learned what i could do, but nobody shouldve? ive always used my keys in secluded locations, or completely private ones, like my home here. what the fuck are people doing with all these KEYS side note im now considering use of my biotinker powers to make ridiculously good food

Dubiously Motivated Pika 20-Dec-20 10:57 AM

Was your key in there?

If you're lucky, people were just stealing keys for some other purpose and that included yours.

If you're unlucky, they were after your key in particular and stole the other keys to, I dunno, practise key-stealing.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 20-Dec-20 12:13 PM

i'm still trying to find it. this is like trying to find a needle in a needlestack, and even with tasks helping its hard

Dubiously Motivated Pika 20-Dec-20 12:14 PM

You could use magnets to sort the magnetic keys from the non-magnetic ones.

How are the keys stored? Just chucked in boxes? Hung up in rows?

What kind of colour variation is there?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 20-Dec-20 12:20 PM

it looks like someone's been dumping them from a skylight for the past 3 years or something

generally its a lot of metallic shades, with a few exceptions here and there

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 20-Dec-20 12:29 PM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 20-Dec-20 05:52 PM

i think i found it?

it feels familiar, and does look pretty similar to the old key

gonna head off to try it out

Dubiously Motivated Pika 20-Dec-20 05:54 PM

Oh nice! You might wanna make sure nobody can get back into the key area while you're gone, in case that was the wrong key.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 20-Dec-20 05:56 PM

if anyone wanted to get in, itd be through the skylight. i had a hard enough getting the key with cloud helping me, i dont think anyone else can get in or out easily, given the doors are blocked by the sheer volume of keys

Dubiously Motivated Pika 20-Dec-20 05:56 PM

Okay, thank god. I mean, people have been dropping stuff down the skylight, so they'd be able to get in, right?

But if you think it's safe enough, then go for it.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 20-Dec-20 05:57 PM

technically yes but itd be a bit of a fuck to get in and out unless you could fly or unless there's a mirror in there. implies masters are involved, so this might be spices' doing

tried the key, was initially hopeful but it lead into some kind of pitch-black massive cavern thing, could make out some shapes in the dark

Yeah, I wondered about that too.

It sounds like you might've gotten a bad actor for your Benefactor. Generally speaking, we try to avoid people who'd go that far, as it often demoralizes people without masochistic tendencies, and, excluding certain morally dubious individuals that take up our services, or people with an addiction to drawbacks, that is absolutely not supposed to happen. I can't see anything that's indicative of either case here. If you can give me your Benefactor's name, I can get them pulled from your Chain and replaced with someone much more pleasant to deal with.

I think I see the problem, or rather, the source of several of these problems. You aren't actually using anything officially made by JumpChain Entertainments. We have a few modules made by founding members that resemble what you have, but overall this looks like something cobbled together by a third party. You're actually pretty lucky - it seems like it recycled enough actual Jumpchain material that you were able to connect to our offices.

it hasn't returned, and its been a While

JumpChain Entertainment Jumper Support [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 08:58 AM

That's fairly surprising, though not overly so. From what I can tell, you've been to several worlds that are able to tamper with weak fiat. Odds are, it accidentally got exposed to sunlight over in Fallen London, which may have damaged the backing it had, on top of just destroying it or rendering it functionally mundane.

JumpChain Entertainment Jumper Support [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 09:38 AM

I'm back, with some good news. While we aren't in charge of your current set of items, perks, and other such things, the people upstairs were interested in the concept for what you've got going on. We're making an official Forged Esoterica, and if you want to sign on, we can replace your model with something a bit more official, as well as pair you up with a decent benefactor, who'll provide a few other benefits due to you bringing this to our attention. However, it'll cost you the perks, items, and companions you've gained thus far, since we highly doubt any of it will be compatible with the new system. You don't have to come to a decision now, we'll send you a message when the proper thing is done and you can inform us of your choice then. As an added consideration due to your altered body, we'd like to explicitly mention you'd be getting a body mod to set your baseline form.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 09:40 AM

Unfortunately, taking the "My Friends and Family" option would not result in keeping these companions. It would merely bring people from Robin's homeworld to him. To be quite frank, keeping anything backed by outside fiat is a dealbreaker.

I should clarify, at any point backed. You don't want to hear what happens when two benefactors' fiat clashes with one another.

Gazzer 22-Dec-20 09:51 AM

So you’re saying he could see his friends and family again if he so chose

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 09:51 AM

didnt exactly have much in the way of friends and the closest family i had was distant siblings

i am not generally a social butterfly, its kind of hard for me to make connections like that

Gazzer 22-Dec-20 09:53 AM

Pets?

Getting back any dog you loved would be cool

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 09:54 AM

pets is tempting, but i do consider adam a friend

Gazzer 22-Dec-20 09:55 AM

You wanna ask him?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 09:55 AM

ask him what? he said anything i have fiat backed right now is a dealbreaker, and adam is

Gazzer 22-Dec-20 09:57 AM

So he’s as much a part of it

He should get a vote, I think

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 09:58 AM

thatd be awesome if i could actually talk with him right now

but whatever tech support for my version of the esoterica is has really fucked it up

earlier i mentioned that everyone fell out of contact with me

Gazzer 22-Dec-20 10:02 AM

Fuck

I’m sorry

What if

Is it possible for JumpCo to backup there engrams and put them in your new chain?

So if you roll those perks

You get your friends back

JumpChain Entertainment Jumper Support [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 10:04 AM

That, we could do, assuming said perks actually come back up.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 10:04 AM

well, i guess that works

Gazzer 22-Dec-20 10:04 AM

It’s only a matter of time

It’s better then nothing

JumpChain Entertainment Jumper Support [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 10:05 AM

Excellent! We're glad to hear you're interested. Like I said, though, it will be some time before the official Forged Esoterica is complete, so if you need more time to think on it, you have it.

Gazzer 22-Dec-20 10:11 AM

There an ETA on that?

JumpChain Entertainment Jumper Support [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 10:12 AM

I can't give one at this minute, as work just started, but we should have a workable model, if in need of refinement, within the week.

Gazzer 22-Dec-20 10:12 AM

Oh wonderful

JumpChain Entertainment Jumper Support [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 10:13 AM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 10:13 AM

just to clarify, if something fucks up its on you guys rather than me, yeah?

JumpChain Entertainment Jumper Support [Forged Esoterica] BOT 22-Dec-20 10:14 AM

Of course. If anything breaks, let us know, and we'll fix it, and give you a small bonus for bringing it to our attention.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 25-Dec-20 06:55 AM

mostly just wait for the new forged esoterica to rip the powers out of my head. ill take being dumb and not being some kind of sooperwiz with stuff if it means having anything near a sane frame of reference

or frame of mind i guess

from there, hope that my mental stability and overall habits veers closer to what i had before all this

i dont really have a plan on how to deal with all this. i was never particularly good at keeping myself stable even without the foundation of my world ripped out from under me

i havent really thought about all this much since there was always so much going on, i just kind of threw myself in the grinder and gave myself a bunch of objectives without really considering the impact they all were having on who i was

no fuckin wonder ive been stressed lmao

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 25-Dec-20 07:19 AM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 25-Dec-20 07:26 AM

i know a part of what not to do. im smart enough to realize this is probably the first series of a large amount of mistakes coming in the future, by merit of me not being perfect or anything

CodeRR 25-Dec-20 07:28 AM

And that's ok, no one should expect perfect no mistakes. It's just not possible in a world with chance and chaos. So long as you learn from your mistakes I'm pretty sure that you can forgive yourself.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 25-Dec-20 07:31 AM

fair point. still gonna have to be hard on myself to help internalize that ive been fucking up tho

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Dec-20 07:32 AM

Don’t worry

Fucking up is human

If you keep fucking up this means you still have humanity in you

CodeRR 25-Dec-20 07:33 AM

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 25-Dec-20 11:24 AM

current thoughts: correspondence inscribed on interior of eyeball to allow shifting colors for the left eye for all the colors of the neathbow im already stormy eyed a bit so some sunlight from the dawn machine exposed to one of my eyes plus some mild alterations may allow for a stormy-eyed/the sun the sun/red honey hybrid for my right eye i could probably pull something near the avid horizon for a slightly star-crazed look am i overdesigning this?

i do have actual reasons for the choices here - neathbow colors may allow me to affect someone else's memory by meeting their gaze, while the stormy eye/honey combo may allow me to view everything through a sort of lens of gods

Lucky_Plucky21 25-Dec-20 11:27 AM

so when i was little, i was terrible with math. and i fucking loved burger king chicken nuggets. this was before they switched over to their newer recipe which is supposedly healthier

i had 5 dollars, and i wanted a lot of chicken nuggets

i was not prepared for 40

i just kind of had a moment of 'oh shit' when they brought out all those chicken nuggets, because my dad wanted to make sure id eat all of them. had a bit of an eating problem back then, plus i think it was punishment for severe miscalculation

naturally, im having a good time at first, cause hey, its burger king chicken nuggets, and i had something to help wash em down too

but as things progressed, i started to realize the enormity of my mistake eclipsed my appetite

also he stole a few

so in the end, i ate 36 chicken nuggets. in a row

i was a skinny as hell kid so i can only imagine how it looked to everyone else too

i was in actual pain towards the end. and i still loved those chicken nuggets after all was said and done

oh well now

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:47 PM

Hi, welcome to some semblance of actual functional jumpchain features, Robin. I'm October, do hope this is gonna be a fun relationship we have. So, your case was a bit of a special one, and they were looking for some people willing to work on the weird stuff. Looks like you already started out some things, yeah?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:47 PM

youre still reading up on the forged esoterica situation arent you

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:52 PM

Guilty as charged. We can talk over specifics later, if need be, but for now, I have some good news to deliver for you! First off, you're getting a Body Mod and Personal Reality supplement, rather than having to deal with all the default stuff. It looks like you've been making a few alterations to yourself, so while the more advanced stuff will probably have to go, there are a few you'll be able to keep. Don't really see why the mental link to the chat shouldn't be fiat backed, really. Second off, since you've already spent nearly a month in all this, showed us the Forged Esoterica, and agreed to try the new one, you get to start out with a stipend of 5000 CP to start you off. 3000 for 3 weeks and change thus far, and a thousand each for the other stuff. Third, we're starting off about as big as your old model, and plan to extend your options as we go. Any questions?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:54 PM

thats a wall of text. uh... alright first off, are we even using cp? as far as i could tell before i just got perks and stuff every time things rolled around.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:55 PM

Yes, you're using CP for your purchases now. Side note, if your companions get any CP, they'll be able to use it too, otherwise they'll get all applicable freebies out there for them, such as parahuman powers.

CodeRR 27-Dec-20 02:56 PM

Interesting....

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:56 PM

alright, so whats the rate

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:57 PM

100 CP every 6 hours. Unlike your starting stipend, there'll be a randomized roll for what you get whenever that time rolls around. Your first roll is when your stipend is used up, and body mod applied.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:58 PM

can i see the whole forged esoterica so i can buy stuff

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 02:59 PM

Yep! I'll have to delete your memory of what exactly is in it when you're done, and you won't be allowed to share details, though - Part of the appeal is the uncertainty as to what may be in there.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 03:00 PM

is there an HR department i can call about the casual mind wiping you're threatening to do

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 03:06 PM

Unfortunately, this was what was decided on when people started putting this together, so the selective memory wipe is something that'll be happening regardless of complaints at this stage. Privacy issues and all, I wouldn't be entirely shocked if the person who put together your bootleg model was still watching things go down. I will bump your complaint up, though - I get where you're coming from, it's pretty damn uncomfortable letting someone screw with you like that. I'd imagine your review and a few other early ones will stop something like that from happening once we've refined things.

CodeRR 27-Dec-20 03:06 PM

(That's good for the future people....)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 03:07 PM

...well, shit. :I

Um....shit will you be able to leave this London again or still gonna be stuck here?

Obviously. Check your pocket, Robin.

...i didnt notice the Fucking Key

man i feel dense right now

CodeRR 27-Dec-20 03:11 PM

Ok good to know you won't be bond to this place anymore. Another question....wait since your body moding will that over ride your eye stuff you did?

Dubiously Motivated Pika 27-Dec-20 03:12 PM

^

Also, which body mod? Some are better than others.

And which version of the Personal Reality? 1.3 or the live google doc? Because I think there's some stuff in the latter that isn't in the former.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 03:14 PM

Ehh... depends. Organ sheathing and subdermal armor is out of the question, the eye thing is okay if he picks up a paid version of Colors, I'm throwing in the mental link to the chat because I feel you guys may like that more. I'm giving the SB Body Mod and 1.3 Personal Reality Supplement to Robin, with some freebies in the latter based on what he already had when he started.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 03:20 PM

so basically you're deciding based on what's more entertaining and rules-compliant?

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 03:21 PM

Kinda, yeah, not gonna lie. Since you have weird circumstances with a newer format, I have wiggle room for my own interpretations of how things work sometimes.

Combine that with people wanting to keep you on board and I'm able to bend things in your favor pretty nicely.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 27-Dec-20 04:33 PM

Looks like you're pretty much done, here. I'll go ahead and roll something for you. [100 CP roll...] Build That Wall (100 CP) (Bastion): You know the basics of Caelondian technology. You understand how to harness the semi-mystical power of Cores and turn it into usable Mantic energy, to power basic machinery, short-range flying machines, computers, and a variety of other uses. More interestingly, you can use Core power to reinforce existing structures, running a Mantic current through it to enhance whatever physical properties it possesses usually durability, though other uses are possible. This is what allowed structures like the Rippling Wall and the Bastion to survive the Calamity as well as they did. You also gain basic skill for mundane construction. [0 CP banked.]

Anyways, a couple morning rolls on their way!

[Day 26] Rolling for 100 CP... (Midnight) Beast Beyond Nature (400 CP) (Greek Myth) is a little out of that price range, unfortunately. 100 CP banked. Rolling for 200 CP... (Morning) Cult of the Gun (100 CP) (Enter the Gungeon): What makes The Gungeon work? Magic. Duh. But, it's a specific type of magic: Gun magic, magic that makes objects more gun-like, or that accentuates the gun-like traits of non-gun objects. Unrestrained, it can turn a gun-like non-gun object, like a mailbox, into a gun, granting it a projectile and a firing method. The Gungeon does this passively, but you know how to direct this ability and use it to your advantage, taking any kind of object, and making it into a, "gun," complete with the same perks that any gun-like object might gain. It's still fairly uncontrolled, with little if any say on your part as to what kind of weapon you get. How else do you explain, "guns," like a mailbox that fires letters and packages; a banana that fires explosive bananas; a bee hive that fires bees(duh); a camera that deals room-wide damage, knockback, and slowing; a guzheng that fires arrows when played; a pillow that fires zippers and stuns nearby enemies when reloaded; a crate that fires anvils; or a compressed air tank that fires homing sharks? Dispensing freebies across all companions... You've got 100 CP banked, now.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 04:54 PM

so, fun fact: i have 3 doors now, and all 3 have timers over them.

3 guesses what the timers are for, first 2 dont count

ive been kind of ignoring the mental doubles of those timers but its really something else when it stares you in the face. worm has 2 years-ish, stickmin has 20-ish years, and fallen london keeps swinging wildly between 40 and 70

this seems like the sort of thing im supposed to turn to alcohol for

...in lieu of feeling helpless and crying myself to sleep, im gonna consider how to fuck with mr veils

im pretty sure i look similar to mr candles in my curator form and i know reasonably certainly that veils and candles slept together

and then there was that whole Eaten mess

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 05:38 PM

oh

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 05:38 PM

yeah mood

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 05:39 PM

so you're thinking once you open the door you can't leave it?

for the set time?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 05:39 PM

its a perk from terminator

judgement day

remember when i got the switches to fuck up the metaphysics of whatever world i went to

this is like that, but instead of screwing over the world myself, it just shows me a countdown to everything going to hell properly

fallen london's apocalypse shifts pretty violently, which gives me a bit of a headache, henry stickmin has to deal with mad science, and scion is scion

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:02 PM

at least you know which one you should try and handle quickly

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:10 PM

'quickly' but i can put things off if i punch jack slash's shit in

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:12 PM

yeah

If you're going after the Nine right off you're probably going to need all hands on deck. I'm not sure how Hawkins feels about fighting things not of the Upside Down but he's powerful to begin with, has a basic level of Brute on top of that, and he's basically got Diet Crawler

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:14 PM

we've all got brute powers

dead by daylight

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:15 PM

Yeah, what is that, brute 1?

maybe 2?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:15 PM

lemme check threat responses

https://worm.fandom.com/wiki/Power_Classifications

Power Classifications

Power Classifications | Worm Wiki | Fandom

id say around brute 3 at a baseline

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:16 PM

Hawkins is probably the best fighter you have in worm terms just because he's a Real Psychic

and they don't actually have anything to defend against that sort of thing

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:17 PM

and some basic like...horror monster powers on top of everything else

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:17 PM

currently im trying to wean them onto human neurological functions. this seems like a bad thing for mental stability

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:17 PM

you're a king of fast walking

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:17 PM

Not discounting your Yautja body's abilities or anything but Entities really struggle against out of context problems

Lynne | The Call of Adventure [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:18 PM

I'm still reading up on everything going on, but I'd be willing to assist.

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:19 PM

Yeah Lynne's probably the third-best straight combatant thanks to being a 111 year old adventuress with flying brick powers

Lynne | The Call of Adventure [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:19 PM

Third? Give me a little more credit, there.

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:19 PM

mmhm very steppy

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:20 PM

she does have a point, shes a 111 year old zailor from the neath. you generally dont live a quarter as long as that out there on the zee. still tho

Lynne | The Call of Adventure [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:21 PM

It's not like I'd be facing one of those Endbringer things.

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:21 PM

listen to herrrrr

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:23 PM

i just dont want to tackle the 9 right now. i know from experience how dangerous a teleporting respawning projection can be, to say nothing of the fuckery their tinkers could do. you are not invincible

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:23 PM

Yeah you don't really have a good anti-siberian Thing

Like Hawkins' TK might be able to stop it?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:24 PM

i am the anti-siberian thing, since i can use the same tactics while manton has nothing else

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:24 PM

Ah right

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:24 PM

the siberian's gimmick is a tool in my toolbox

one of several

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:25 PM

Right! you have [Edge Lord Prime] :p

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:26 PM

speaking of which, cloud seems back to basics, which is a bit of a shame

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:26 PM

Yeah you'll need to feed it all over again

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:27 PM

I'd say you take Lynne, Hawkins, and Eleanor if she's willing

Eleanor | A smile, a wink [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:28 PM

Sorry, but I'm quite occupied right now catching up on history, maybe later

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:28 PM

Adam's still around and still Impostor

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:28 PM

And still part of Cauldron, so no easy Jack kill.

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:28 PM

Ah yeah

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:30 PM

I'll admit, I'm kind of split trying to recruit Legend and taking care of Hawkins right now, while making sure Robin doesn't crumble. Robin, I know you probably haven't, so drink some fucking water already or something, okay?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:30 PM

want not lets me drink infinite caffine

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:31 PM

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaater

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:31 PM

S2g Robin, I will personally hand you your ass if you don't listen. It may not seem important, but doing this sort of stuff will help you keep feeling human in the long run.

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:32 PM

You had me resigned to the babysitter role, this is what you get.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:32 PM

fine..

i maintain that water tastes weird

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:41 PM

water has no taste!

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:41 PM

thats my point

Gazzer 28-Dec-20 06:41 PM

COFFEE DEHYDRATES YOU

Water Good

https://tenor.com/view/thirsty-water-fall-gif-16327653

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:43 PM

ok but consider: want not is busted and most drinks as far as nutritional/hydrational value goes may as well be 'generic drink' its healthy for me because fiat

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:43 PM

Robin...

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 28-Dec-20 06:43 PM

shutting up now

Kamui 28-Dec-20 06:47 PM

is there a self-care perk in the esoterica

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 03:50 AM

Robin already has a few, yes.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 03:53 AM

are you calling want not and life skills self-care because if so i can get behind tat

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 29-Dec-20 03:53 AM

(*that)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 12:11 PM

ok, ive taken a couple hours to cool off, do maintenance on myself - both bio-tinkering and normal human stuff, adam - and i am officially in real gremlin hours

petition to make an entity to ruin scion's day

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Dec-20 12:11 PM

It Works

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 12:13 PM

cool, now to actually do some research into that. im thinking kidnap some nazis and do unethical human experimentation for the sake of irony

Lucky_Plucky21 29-Dec-20 12:13 PM

Take the most despicable ones

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 12:14 PM

adam, how you feel about getting some cauldron vials, is that a thing that can happen

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 12:14 PM

Already did that, actually.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 12:14 PM

alright cool

Gazzer 29-Dec-20 12:30 PM

yeaaaah booooy

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 12:31 PM

i have actually no clue which nazis to target first, or any containment cells or anything for this. hm.

well, i can try somethin for that, but itll take some time

Gazzer 29-Dec-20 12:36 PM

Well, if it were me, I'd just kill every nazi shit bag i could get my hands on

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 29-Dec-20 12:37 PM

shards disconnect when people die, if i recall rightly. which means they need to be alive

at least until its no longer convenient

Gazzer 29-Dec-20 01:25 PM

Damn

a deep deep hole? :v

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 12:34 PM

honestly im lowkey considering beheadings

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 12:35 PM

Eh, they're nazis, no worries there.

Gazzer 01-Jan-21 12:35 PM

ah the classic head in a jar

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-spy-kill-me-meet-the-medic-gif-14709106

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 12:35 PM

The main concern is whether you might get used to it enough to start to do that to other people.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 12:36 PM

honestly at this point im already slipping down the ethical horizon

animal murder is one of the first steps to identifying sociopathy i think. or something like that

i crossed that threshold a while ago

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 12:38 PM

I mean, no reason to make it worse. Nazi beheading is fine, though you might need to do something special if you pick up Alabaster.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 12:38 PM

point

some part of me is weighing the pros and cons of going full biotinker psychopath

i dont like that part of me but it exists

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 12:39 PM

Ideally, keep it at morally dubious, but no further.

Punisher, if you must.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 12:39 PM

please continue to compare me to the punisher, i hate that comparison and itll push me to do better lol

Gazzer 01-Jan-21 12:39 PM

animal abuse is an identifier

2

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 12:40 PM

Only go biotinker psychopath on people who deserve it.

Gazzer 01-Jan-21 12:40 PM

animal experiments, while morally dubious, are often necessary for medical advancement

And it looks like it's about time to roll. I don't think Robin's gonna be hopping on until breakfast time, so I'll just roll all three into one. Actually, wait, looks like we've got an update waiting in the wings. I'll be a hot minute.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:10 PM

Rolling for Evening, Midnight, and Morning... Nullspace Computer (100 CP) (Megas XLR): You have a computer tower you can summon from and banish to nullspace, allowing you to upgrade it but otherwise keep it safe. You may summon holographic interfaces for it at will. Potion (400 CP) (Cthulhu Saves The World): A small flask of red liquid - not blood - that heals... Pretty much everything, when drunk. Guaranteed to get you up to 100% of your health, no matter what. Comes in a pack of four, and respawns once per year. Also heals most status effects, but not insanity. [Can't be afforded... +100 CP for the bank!] At Least You Should Do Them Properly (100 CP) (Bioshock 2): The markets of Rapture may have been patient, but its science stood still for nothing. Advancements thought impossible on the surface were made in months instead of decades. All thanks to Andrew Ryan refusing to place any form of control on its practice. Similarly, you were freed of the leashes known as ethics and humanity as well. And you are loath to give up such freedom. Your ability to advance your understanding of science is greatly enhanced whenever you disregard petty hindrances like morality. Simply put, when people suffer for your science, you learn so much more.

100 CP is in the tank.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:11 PM

That last once is concerning

But the first once is very nice.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:12 PM

so you remember that conversation we had last night about ethics? and the last time that perk came up? lmao im done

fucking multiverse

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:12 PM

Yep

That about sums it up

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:13 PM

did work through the night on something though, you guys'll like it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:13 PM

Oh?

Camdrome [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:15 PM

Robin: "Alright, let's see if this works." A screen opens up to reveal... A fairly normal, if alarmingly bloodstained and fairly cramped bedroom. From the camera's perspective, it's sitting at about head height in a swivel chair, facing the back of a flatscreen TV at the foot of the bed of this bedroom. A large window with an air conditioner lies behind the bed, showing a vast, white space.

A few recently used medical tools are lying on a table to the left, against a desk that sits neatly against the wall.

The camera looks around, showing a pile of clothes lying against the right wall, an open closet door, and a large dresser covered with odds and ends. Robin: "So yeah, I made a camera system. Not sure if you guys are getting the whole picture or not, I have no clue what this looks like for you guys. ...Christ I probably should've cleaned..."

Lucky_Plucky21 01-Jan-21 01:19 PM

Good

Happy for you

Camdrome [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:19 PM

The camera briefly looks down, to reveal it is in fact in somebody's head. A relatively lanky figure, wearing fairly covering clothes that are, themselves, covered in blood. The shirt may have once been blue, as could the jeans have been. Robin: "...Rrrrrreally should've cleaned. Shit." And the feed dies.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:21 PM

yeah im gonna take a shower, eat something, start laundry, and s n o o z e. adam, you wanna keep everyone filled in to whats going on?

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:21 PM

Fine. If only because you're getting a proper amount of rest for once.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:21 PM

thank youuuuu

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:22 PM

Also, Robin, I dunno if it's showing up as actual footage for you, but over here I just see a text description from... 'Camdrome?'

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:22 PM

Yeah, same here

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:23 PM

all the profanity, all at once

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:23 PM

Is that from the camdrone or the Discord?

If it's the latter, maybe October didn't want actual footage going through. (edited)

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:24 PM

i named the recording software camdrome, and i have the footage myself, but it looks like having it stream stuff causes it to get translated to text

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:24 PM

Looks like it

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:24 PM

Correct, we don't have the budget to afford inter-universe streams.

That's a joke, by the way.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:25 PM

ill admit i am vaguely amused, looking at it from your perspective, i guess, but can we get an actual reason please

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:26 PM

What, on top of the trolling factor? Well, you don't want people back on your homeworld to start distributing footage of you ripping apart lions or mauling Armsmaster or something, do you?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:26 PM

...point.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:27 PM

I kinda assumed it was so that you couldn't pass over blueprints to crazy high-tech gadgets and fuck over this Earth's tech level.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:28 PM

That's one reason of around five billion, three hundred seventy six million or so, yes. You can see why I cherry pick.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:29 PM

Okay, that's fair

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:29 PM

...people have given yall five billion reasons to restrict streaming

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:29 PM

Time dilation affects things, if you're wondering how the number got so high. That and time travel.

good for it

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:33 PM

Hey October, is Ava doing okay? I know she was on some knockoff Jumpchain thing as well [Collector's Commercials?] and I hope she's doing a bit better now.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:34 PM

Who?

It looks like you guys have talked about her before, but I can't seem to find any connection on here to her directly. Can't say I have a good answer to that.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:35 PM

Oh dear.

Okay, so there's a girl named Ava who's in a similar situation to what Robin was in, though she was pulling perks from a different list, I believe.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:37 PM

Sounds like she got a kitchen sink sort of setup, while Robin got one focused on inspiring, creating, and discovering mythos.

If the name is any indicator, at any rate.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:37 PM

Yeah, something like that.

Her situation seemed to be connected to whoever made the original FE, since she specifically got a message on her TV about us.

Would it be possible to locate her?

If nothing else, maybe she could be added to Robin's setup or something.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:38 PM

If Robin's case is anything to judge by, probably not without her getting in contact with us first.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:38 PM

Okay, that's true.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:39 PM

Still, I'll send this info off to the appropriate circles, see if they can get any word about it. Thanks for letting me know!

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:40 PM

shit, with everything going on i basically forgot about her

whoops

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:41 PM

To be fair, so did we

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:41 PM

It's not exactly a pressing issue, like, say, Bakuda is.

I can hear you scrabbling out of your seat from here, Robin. Calm down. I got Bakuda already. More specifically, Contessa got her for me.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 01:43 PM

Nice

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:44 PM

You are gonna have to get dragged in to one of Cauldron's meetings later, though. I may have promised a heroic Fairy Queen and Bakuda being able to replicate any power's effects with her bombs.

Milo | On and on and on [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:48 PM

Ay, chief? I was wonerin if Alice and i could get a spot of fresh air, was hoping you could get us somewhere safe

Since youre the one always goin out and all, and doin all the cavorting around and intrigues and such, I figure you ougt to know a few cozy little spots for us, yea?

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:50 PM

You're gonna blow up my personal messages if I don't, aren't you. Fine. Come over to the doors.

Milo | On and on and on [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:51 PM

Thanks chief she seemed like she was findin the place a little stuffy

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 01:51 PM

Just get over here, please.

And he's gone! Sweet relief. And I doubt he'll open a portal to the phone I got him while he's in there, given the interference the doors provide to shard-like powers.

So, Hawkins has decided to hibernate for the day given yesterday was kind of stressful for the poor guy. Let me just check up on everyone, and then you'll see what a day in the life of Adam is like.

Adam's gotta get me this Camdrome thing later. Sage looks like a giant puffball while she sleeps, and I didn't want to bug her with a click from my phone's cam.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Jan-21 01:58 PM

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 02:04 PM

Everyone seems to be settling in and waking up. I'm gonna do some work up in Canada, take out Heartbreaker. His power is only calibrated to humans, as far as I've researched.

Hm... Actually, I have a better idea. I'm going to take out the brainwashing cape in the Yangban.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 02:10 PM

Ooh, good idea

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 02:11 PM

And I'm going to blame it on another Yangban member.

Hours, Minutes, Seconds 01-Jan-21 02:11 PM

(Hell. that was supposed to be adam)

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 02:12 PM

I've been learning the Correspondence, so I know a symbol that ought to make it easy for them to lose me one I've gone and done that.

Amazing how many people fail to question what you're doing in an area if you look the right way and carry yourself correctly. I think I'll kidnap Null and Two while I'm here.

Robin would appreciate the gift, I think.

I may have got a bit overenthusiastic. Still, now they'll think Two killed One, if they discover me at all.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 02:21 PM

what if i made a cult

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 02:21 PM

No.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 02:22 PM

okay fair

Dubiously Motivated Pika 01-Jan-21 02:24 PM

Maybe not a cult, but a more grounded sort of organisation could work

A conspiracy, maybe

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 01-Jan-21 02:25 PM

maybe, but i plan on doing some very mystical things and also human experimentation, so i feel like cult fits better technically

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 02-Jan-21 06:10 PM

Lasers for Adam, an aerokinetically-created vacuum for Lynne, Eleanor was killed with a surprise attack, and Hawkins was hit with a recursive organic-matter-eating striker power. Converting to inorganic matter killed it. As for Mr Veils' activities, obsession and devotion takes many forms. Often, not good ones. But some re-education should be able to fix this - you'll have to tame Veils some, first, of course. Also, I prefer being referred to as a male.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 02-Jan-21 06:12 PM

you did this on purpose.

Gazzer 02-Jan-21 06:13 PM

I demand a human form for veils at least

a tiny baby

to train

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 02-Jan-21 06:15 PM

Only inasmuch as I rolled from a list of Masters of the Bazaar to give you. That'd be breaking a few rules regarding no extra, unearned powers and unwanted drawbacks, Gazzer. I can understand the sentiment, though.

Veils has a human form - several, really - and it can already access them through alt-form shifting or it's Changeling perk.

Gazzer 02-Jan-21 06:16 PM

well, at least it can't murder your friends permanently

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 02-Jan-21 06:16 PM

it also can't be murdered perminantly.

also he usually goes around with metal under his skin so pack AP ammo

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 03-Jan-21 12:02 PM

good to know. i have a few ideas on what im gonna do to him. biotinkering has never felt more ethical

mainly, considering making acid bombs under his skin using parts from his stomach, then when they try to use othalla to heal him, they trigger. i'll need to do some research on how her regen works, though

Gazzer 03-Jan-21 12:04 PM

think it's just fast natural healing

she can't regrow limbs

lemme

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 03-Jan-21 12:05 PM

oh, if it works that way then i can do this excellently. might give em a s9 scare too, the fucks

Gazzer 03-Jan-21 12:06 PM

yeah doesn't clarify in cannon

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 03-Jan-21 12:07 PM

i'll assume it boosts natural healing

worst comes to worst, he'll eventually detonate regardless, and he'll be in a lot of pain until then

unless he gets killed before then, itll also be detonating while hes alive, which is good

Gazzer 03-Jan-21 12:09 PM

don't you wanna keep his brain so you have an infinite source of metal?

or is that too

mad sciencey?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 03-Jan-21 12:10 PM

i really dont care about infinite metal tbh

Gazzer 03-Jan-21 12:10 PM

fair

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 03-Jan-21 12:11 PM

i care more about him dying and maybe taking some of his friends with him than infinite metal, to put it in perspective. besides, if i do it through cloud, it might allow for me to get infinite metal anyways

which i can then increase in power and share amongst my friends

huh. apparently the CUI is having problems according to the news

found out where hookwolf lives

ill see if i can find him changing into his costume

this may be a while

i bet if i do this right blasto will get blamed for it

he gets a birdcage or kill order, boom, no s9000

Gazzer 03-Jan-21 12:41 PM

welp. ive converted hookwolf to an explosive, dealt with irrigo growths over his eyes, and strung him up pretty severely injured in front of his house. i think i mightve missed the bombing though, so i have sawyer on it. man when you bribe a bat with superfruit it gets so much easier to do things

Leviathan

Leviathan was trying to take out forcefield-makers and such.

Dauntless was counted among them, as well as Shielder and Bastion.

armsmaster can bug him then the heroes do the work for me

Dubiously Motivated Pika 04-Jan-21 04:32 PM

ive played it. it interested me but failed to live up to my biggest expectations

ive got a plan for echidna as well. all i need is a small door for a range boost, and i can biotinker though cloud

currently cant help with that cause im using cloud to search for a timestop bomb, given leviathan triggered it im thinking it has a proximity sensor or something rather than anything better

think its probably hidden under a pier somewhere. there are not a lot of police out considering the place looks half blasted to hell

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 01:52 PM

I thought it was an existing timestop bubble that Alabaster was already in.

Dauntless was thrown into the bubble by Leviathan, he didn't set off a new bomb.

That means it's probably in grenade form if it's been made already.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 01:55 PM

shit. point

in that case i really only have one idea

my knowledge of the correspondence combined with some new rituals that got plugged into my skull in the veils attack might be able to break the bubble. a modification of the seven-fold knock

its surprisingly simple in execution and actually pretty similar to the shave-and-a-haircut knock

might earn some goodwill from dauntless, and prevent a titan from coming up down the line later, and all itll cost me is some skin off my knuckles probably

doesnt stop veils though

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 01:59 PM

Are you planning to go to the fight? You could just help him then.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 02:00 PM

frankly, im not planning on fucking around with an endbringer at this stage, but if i get something powerful or enough setup, or manage to break veils so it works for me rather than against me, that might be an option

...actually, i have a plan for veils now. but it requires some influences i dont have, which will be a pain in the ass. ill have to pray for some luck tomorrow in that regard

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 02:02 PM

Ooh, that's good news.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 02:03 PM

basically, rendering its mind a hazy mess via moth influence, then using my alluring eyes and some discordance carved into it to help ensure some death of ego

i doubt ill be able to break it completely - at its core, its basically sophia hess's worldview taken up to 11 i think would be a good way to describe it - but i should break enough of its willful streak that we dont have a repeat of yesterday

it probably acted as it did due to it viewing itself above all others, and contextualizing its brand new obsession over me to its worldview

thats my best guess for whats going on, at least

ill probably be spending tomorrow night working to break down veils with supernatural influences

theres probably a discordance rune specifically for casting away your identity, but i cant say im sure exactly of what that one is

so we have to take the long way around

found the bubble. looks like you were right, pika, which is unfortunately a shame

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 02:16 PM

Maybe you could just construct a dome around it or something.

Make sure nobody's thrown into it.

Or just get Alabaster out to make sure he doesn't titanify on his own later.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 02:18 PM

not a bad idea, the dome one, but itd be a waste of resources and time with my current skill

as for just getting alabaster out, not sure exactly how id do that without the rest of the bubble going. this is shard fuckery intersecting with magic, after all

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 02:21 PM

You could just pop the bubble ig, if you think you can.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 02:21 PM

im basically taking a hammer to it and seeing if i can crack it at all. if this doesnt work, i have no clue how to deal with this particular issue

Camdrome [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 02:37 PM

The screen, for a moment, switches to a double of the discord chat, before that disappears, and the scene before Robin is revealed. Brockton Bay, in ruins, with the camera focused on a street corner oddly illuminated by the blast of a literal time bomb, a figure like ivory trapped inside. His expression can barely be made out - surprise, perhaps a little fear, but a surprisingly tame reaction to an explosion going off at his feet. It's raining, a drizzle, really, giving the scene a hazy feel to it. A quiet sigh can be heard, the view of the screen being shook a little with every step, before Robin simply walks past the bubble blocking his way to further sights, removing said bubble from the center of focus and drawing visual attention to the rest of the docks. Not many people are out, and it's clear that repairs have yet to be done in full force. There's a number of empty cars whose riders will never return to them, and the few people out walk with a noticeable tension. This area of the docks used to have a lot of populated restaurants, and a ways away, a few people do still sell food, though from carts rather than buildings. Repairs are still underway for several, noises of distant construction audible. In the distance, the Rig can be seen, still dealing with repairs of its own. Robin approaches a hot dog cart, and halfway into his order, the perspective splits, the right half of the screen once again showing the time bubble, this time with an unnatural smoothness but a slight haze obscuring vision. A figure is standing at the hot dog cart, earlier spotted by Robin. It must be the man himself, dressed in a dark blue hoodie, some blue jeans, and black shoes. It's hard to pay attention to that, though, as a ghostly hand, wreathed in fog, reaches out to the bubble, the second perspective looking at the bubble.

Camdrome [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 02:56 PM

As the ghostly figure reaches out, a few people start freaking out over on Robin's end, and to his apparent annoyance, so does the person he was trying to buy a hot dog from. "Shit, there's a cape over there..." the salesman said, looking over Robin's shoulder, presumably at the bubble he'd passed about four blocks ago. Robin: "Wh-" The left side shifts around, "Shit, is it-" as though looking for the source of the second perspective, "-that crazy bomber motherfucker?" before his view fixes on the time bubble and the mist-covered figure. His next words are a bit less tension-filled, though. "Oh... Thank fuck. Some crazy shithead... fucking with that bubble like that. Mm. They'll probably just get stuck. Anyways..." A hand goes up to adjust something on Robin's face. Sunglasses? His fingers move to the bridge of his nose, a yawn before he resumes making his orders. As Robin faux-panics for a moment, the right side perspective is left standing in front of the bubble, outstretched hand... Seemingly making tapping motions, so light they must barely touch the distortion effect. There's a deliberate slowness to the motions, a slight sort of rhythm. Shave and a haircut... The view clears, briefly, as the bubble pops, like a great big gust of wind blew the haze away. There's also a slight flash - a purple hue, peculiarly enough - and a new voice. "-it-what-was-that!?" Alabaster was freed from the bubble, and subsequently had a hand wrapped tightly enough around his throat that any attempt to speak was rendered null and void. Robin's perspective was watching with apparent interest, now. Cloud: "Now, now," came a gentle voice with an odd, echo-like effect, as though it came from the center of a massive room, "Don't worry. Instead of rotting for the rest of your life in that bubble, you're going to be spending a while in a nice Protectorate cell. How's that sound?" Alabaster struggled in his grip, as Cloud began walking to the local Protectorate office.

Robin, for his part, fished his phone out of his pants, paid for his hot dog, and began following, apparently recording Cloud dragging Alabaster down to the local PRT office, once a bit of zoom was used to focus on him. Cloud glances down at Alabaster struggling, and his hand tenses. There's the sound of something cracking as the struggles briefly stop. ...Then again. ...And again. The figure holding Alabaster grows a little paler, as they walk, and the cycle repeats, much to Alabaster's apparent discomfort.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:02 PM

figured yall wouldve wanted to see that

hes kind of freakin out rn, but he's having some real trouble against cloud. im keepin my distance and falling behind to help sell the 'cape-watcher citizen' look

well. for lack of a better term, 'see'

wish i could fix this damn thing

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 03:12 PM

I mean, it's a lot better than nothing.

Also, it might not be very nice for the faint of heart if it worked properly.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:15 PM

true

im basically a walking bonesaw/siberian hybrid with more eldritch influences

...hey, random thought, but do you think e88 somehow heard about me handing lung his ass

cause it occurs to me that cloud is technically white in the same way alabaster can be considered. in which case im slightly glad i stayed out of here for a while

doubt theyll be tryina recruit me now that im throwing alabaster in jail but honestly the idea they couldve been on the lookout for me makes me uncomfy

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 03:31 PM

They'd probably be on the lookout for any new white or white-passing capes, tbf

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:31 PM

deep sigh

welp. we've made it to the prt office, i think im giving the receptionist a really surreal day

i also had an idea - cloud's got the power to distribute powers, though the enhancing powers thing is a bit weak, but ive gotten alabaster's power over and over by repeatedly breaking his neck. do you think i could harvest other capes' powers by giving them his power, then doin the same thing?

man. i need to cultivate a wackier image. im being affected by wildbow grimderp i think

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 03:36 PM

I mean, it's a good plan. Maybe save it for the S9 and anyone who volunteers/who you pay to do it.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:36 PM

ill save it for coil too, no mercy for that motherfucker

Lucky_Plucky21 05-Jan-21 03:36 PM

Good

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:37 PM

best part is, since its technically just my own power redistributed, it may rely on my loops not being disrupted by shock or brain damage rather than theirs

Lucky_Plucky21 05-Jan-21 03:37 PM

True

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:40 PM

oh i had a brilliant idea. lung is in the city

i have a preferred test subject and this will stop him from ramping up

welp, thats alabaster in jail. im gonna head back, the others should hopefully come back to life soon-ish

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:43 PM

You're also due for another roll pretty soon, by the by.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:44 PM

oh. yeah... sorry for blowing up earlier. i think you can guess why i did it but, yeah. you probably didnt deserve that.

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:44 PM

Apology accepted!

Honestly, I'd be a bit worried if you weren't basically snapping at anything that moves after all that. I'm a little surprised you aren't now, actually.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:45 PM

just because ive had time to cool off a little doesnt mean im not pretty fucking pissed rn. i think my treatment of alabaster is testament to that

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 03:46 PM

How's the plan to get some therapy?

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:47 PM

ive made zero progress in that front tbh

honestly at the rate things have been going i think that plan is shot

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 03:48 PM

At least try to pencil it in for the future, probably

Not getting therapy seems like a monumentally bad idea.

Robin | Hours, Minutes, Seconds [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 03:50 PM

that is very obvious tbh. ill have to do that in henry stickmin, though - as much as i want to stay out of there at all times because ccc, its also the most normal world, for some fucking reason?? lol

ill have to hope things dont escalate

if i tried to find one in worm theres the whole end of the world thing, and if i sought out help in fallen london... well that might work out but their advice would be 'have you tried doing cocaine about it'

Dubiously Motivated Pika 05-Jan-21 03:57 PM

Yeah, Henry Stickmin sounds like it would work out better.

Rolling for 350 cp...

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 05-Jan-21 04:11 PM

Ooh, this one has a lot of freebies attached. Robin's taking a moment to recover from them all, though. Peering Through The Cracks (100 CP) (Dishonored 2): As time goes on, you will encounter occasional glimpses into alternate timelines, distorted, like a projection through broken glass, or some sort of...glitch? Perhaps a painting in your world has two people, but it flickers into a version with only one. Perhaps you'll glimpse a barren street as the lively version it could have been? These ‘Hollows’ or glimpses through the cracks of time will reveal to you whether past events have been altered, differences between the timelines, as well as the places and people who have played the most important roles in its alteration. How many you encounter, and the scale of the changes, should clue you in as to how stable or unstable your local timeline is. I'll just post the freebies in his document for all this while he's recuperating.

gonna crack things open and see what the issue is

okay apparently theres a big chunk of weird rock lodged behind my eye basically, gonna need to work around that

my arm's gonna be a larger challenge unless i can get some spare parts

out of order, dead, i just had an arm ripped off, and it was replaced with weird void stuff from an alternate timeline or something

if this stuff relies on alternate histories i may have options though. will require a lot of sleep

Good luck Adam

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Jan-21 06:11 PM

The Sun we got is going to be keeping Veils frozen if he appears before we're prepared. Hawkins is going to be poking holes in Robin's basement into the Parabola-analogue the Personal Reality seems to be forming, to loosen the laws of physics in the basement a little. It's taken some work, but I think Bubbles will be helping keep Veils calm, though god knows if it'll take. Most of the group is collecting resources and trying to become influenced in the right ways to keep Veils secured, limited, and if necessary, to kill him again.

London, being the most exotic location we have, with easy access to dreams, is our best bet for this.

Kamui 08-Jan-21 06:12 PM

Prey and Bioshock stuff is useful utility. (edited)

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Jan-21 06:16 PM

Agreed, I already sent the health infusion up. The Prey stuff is a bit more limited considering Eleanor and Alice are the best people for anything mechanical at the moment.

Kamui 08-Jan-21 06:16 PM

Gloo is a useful non-lethal option

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Jan-21 06:18 PM

It would be, if we had a fabricator. Unfortunately, we don't, so unless the Gloo is organic enough for Robin to replicate, or if this breaking of Veils actually works, we'll be out of luck for making more of it, assuming we don't get a fabricator.

Something weird's going on in the basement. One second.

Apparently creatures can come out of the holes Hawkins pokes. At least it was some weird bird rather than a Fingerking or something.

Lucky_Plucky21 08-Jan-21 06:22 PM

Hawkins seems able to handle it, but I'll have Lynne watch over him just in case.

There's a lot of things that could reference, Gazzer, what in particular did you mean?

oh nothing it's just the creepiest thing I could think of at the moment

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Jan-21 06:26 PM

Frankly, I'd be more worried about well-monsters, personally. But that's just me.

I have to go hunting for remnants of a dead Master of the Bazaar later, which means hopping down wells in Parabola, which could definitely lead to something else horrible happening.

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Jan-21 06:50 PM

Some part of me is considering kidnapping Tattletale in order to throw off Coil's plans while we do this. He does the fundraiser attack in 6 days and drops E88's identities in 9, weakening his cape team by taking out some of the people in it would majorly help. Robin may also be able to work on Rachel's power to help her brain register human interactions better, so she's also a target of opportunity. I'd say bringing Grue in would be wise as well, but he has obligations he'd be missed from and the shadow-generating shaker would make escape entirely too easy if they managed it.

Gazzer 08-Jan-21 06:51 PM

can you do it safely for all involved?

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 08-Jan-21 06:53 PM

Considering we have diet path to victory, multiple Movers, and several people that Tattletale would realize can easily be brought to murder, yes. With the right Edge influences, the Sun may even be able to make supernatural bindings.

You're telling me. I'm not physically capable of having an aneurysm, and it still feels like I'm going to have one from the stress if this keeps up.

Rolling for Noon, 300 CP... Abominable Transformation (300 CP) (Darkest Dungeon): “The man is slave to the beast, and the beast is slave to the moon.” Through twisted experiment or daemonic possession your body may undergo a stressful transformation into a half-beast, half-man creature. Like the Abomination the decision to transform is yours- barring the onset of madness- but although the act itself will actually heal minor wounds, the transformation may incur stress not only on yourself but on any compatriots who witness the monstrous shifting of flesh and muscle. Luckily, you may also partially transform while retaining your mostly human body in order to defend yourself, which is far less taxing. The form you take on when fully transformed will be similar to that of the Abomination, featuring rending claws, teeth and inhuman strength, as well as caustic bile- the differences, if any, being limited to cosmetics. If you purchase one of the seven “disease” perks below you will have the opportunity to design an entirely new form, with its own set of benefits and demerits. Just be aware that, regardless of form, the superstitious souls of the Hamlet may not be too happy about your presence here- and those of a religious sort may even refuse to adventure alongside you entirely. Should you wish, you may also choose to make your “transformed” state permanent instead- this will eliminate the penalties related to transforming, but you will lose the ability to take on a different form for the duration of the Jump. Needless to say that being stuck as a monster will do little to endear you to those who distrust or hate your kind, too. And that's your CP gone.

Camdrome [Forged Esoterica] BOT 12-Jan-21 09:41 AM

The image takes a bit to flicker into view, blurred by an orange cloudy overlay when it finally does so. The main focus - a corpse of a peculiar, bat-like creature in a half-shredded robe, a gory scene only slightly less blurred than the sigils carved into it. A means of protection for viewers of the scene on the other side of the camera. However, the body of Mr Veils killed by the speech of gods is not the only detail observed that warrants that observation. The room is the basement, red sand spilled all over the floor and old, antiquated furniture lying around, collecting dust and cobwebs. The washer and dryer have been pushed out of the way to allow for a seat for the body of Mr Veils to be tied to. Around it, circles with sigils esoteric and deliberately obscured - Though it's easy enough through the censorship to tell that some are from different sources than others. A small orb of white fire illuminates the room, hanging over the body, blurred much like the sigils. Three equally pale figures stand around the corpse, beyond what would be its arm's length - one is made of bright clouds, and seems to flicker every few seconds. The others, a young lady with long hair and slight lines on her face that suggest she usually smiles, and a short-haired and steely-eyed militant woman with uniform to match, stand to the sides, the same ivory as the clouds as they flicker. The perspective of the image shifts, to check the markings on the ground, tracking over them with a hole in the image that may be a primitive dagger. The hand wrapped around it is not human; It possesses claws, fur, that same ivory hue. Another flicker. "This will be over soon," says a voice, similar to Robin's, but higher pitched, shriller, lacking the anxious edge his usually has. His place is taken at the edge of the circle, in front of Veils. Figures shift in the shadows of the room. Again, the voice. "Remember the plan. If this fails, it dies again." Again, they all flicker.

Camdrome [Forged Esoterica] BOT 12-Jan-21 10:17 AM

To the right, the Adventuress stands, tapping her foot to the seconds, the sound of that and the ticking of a pocketwatch being the sole thing that fills the air. "I hope you and Adam know what you're doing," she says, an anxious glance behind the camera given, before she focuses on it. "Because I sure don't. And we've got a minute until the bugger's up again, from the timestamps you pointed me at." Several small, hexagonal holes in reality open, depositing olive green candles, which seem to light themselves. "When it is revived, cover your ears and shut your eyes. If something goes wrong, you'll see shadows cast on the wall of the struggle. You will see my clouds move, as well." A twitch from the loose collection of clouds in a vaguely humanoid shape confirms Robin[?]'s point. A few candles are nudged, and then everyone is back to impatient waiting. Finally, finally, there's another flicker, but not of the matte bone-pale crowd. It is of Mr Veils, who immediately shifts somewhat, as if in a natural attempt to hide. The words that leave Robin's mouth next, as the light of the fireball shines even brighter and reveals an assortment of monsters who'd been hidden in the shade, the words of the white-furred figure require translation. YOU, LITTLE RABBIT, WILL REGRET WHERE YOUR INSTINCTS HAVE SUMMONED YOU, he says. HERE AND NOW, YOU ARE MY PREY. There is a visible shimmer of heat in the air. The words are filled with venom, though Veils does not flinch. It is agitated, but it does not back down, struggling in its bindings but rapidly exhausting. Its form flickers as it tries method after method of escape, to no avail - the candles glow a smidge brighter. YOU PLAY AT THE ROLE OF A DECEASED DRAGON, it retorts, no less irritated but its speech dangerously slurred. YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF A RECKONING. YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST FOOL WE HAVE DEALT WITH TO BELIEVE SO. In the background, a marine creature of sorts shifts position a bit, and Veils snarls, slouching some.

Camdrome [Forged Esoterica] BOT 12-Jan-21 10:43 AM

Veils continues to speak in the Correspondence, words unpleasant to the ear even if you factor out the pain the words of Suns offers. YOU FEEL THE NEED TO SURROUND ME WITH ALLIES, DON THE GUISE OF THE LONG DEAD, MOCKERY OF MY OWN WORDS. AN ATTEMPT TO HURT ME WITH LONG PASSED AFFILIATION. YOUR FEAR OF ME, EVEN WITH ALL THE PRECAUTIONS YOU COULD'VE TAKEN, IS BLATANT. YOU SHOULD FEEL HONORED I CHOSE YOU AS MY FAVORED PREY. It almost sounds like it's enjoying this. The perspective switches behind it, to where Variations on a Cloud stood. Robin's form now is apparent - as much a Master as Veils, though it looks as though Robin's palette was inverted. What may be a knife is clenched in its hand. It approaches with purpose, grabbing Veils by the throat as it lifts the jagged shape. YOU ARE RIGHT, it says, OR AT LEAST PARTLY RIGHT. NO WORDS CAN SAVE YOU, THOUGH. AS YOU CANNOT DIE, MORE EXTREME MEASURES MUST BE TAKEN. Before flesh can meet blade, Cloud looks away, at the Adventuress. A 'sound muted' icon appears in the upper left corner of the image. The Adventuress watches the scene unfolding before her with a dark expression, standing at attention for if Veils somehow escapes. A brief glimpse down confirms that, even with the bloodstains, the line in the sand has not been disturbed. There is an Edge that cannot be passed. Yet, at least. Another glimpse at Maybe's Daughter, who has an uncertain look about her. It's more difficult to read the expression of the others, but there's degrees of apathy, concern, disgust, and rage in roughly equal measures, though rage edges other facets out. And then the feed ends.

Lynne | The Call of Adventure [Forged Esoterica] BOT 12-Jan-21 10:59 AM

Can anyone on here explain why Robin was acting so differently? He kind of went off the deep end from the moment he woke up, as far as I can tell. Gave him a tap on the back of the head and he's out like a light, now.

Gazzer 12-Jan-21 11:02 AM

I think he was acting in a Role?

Or was overtaken by some Mantle

in order to do this Work

Lynne | The Call of Adventure [Forged Esoterica] BOT 12-Jan-21 11:05 AM

Whatever happened to him, it must've happened while he was asleep. You might be onto something with the Mantle explanation, but I can't say for sure. Veils used some kind of self-healing power to fix itself up, we're all keeping an eye on it. Ellie dropped Robin off in his room.

Here's hoping Robin's sane when he wakes up, isn't calling himself a zee-god or anything.

Adam | Orange sus [Forged Esoterica] BOT 13-Jan-21 05:10 PM

A little hesitant to wipe the place's local cape populace given the Leviathan attack is supposed to be in a little under 2 weeks, but hurting them on the international stage rather than local is fine with me. Helps cut a source of funding for the locals, diverts resources.

...A little over 2 weeks, sorry.

Dubiously Motivated Pika 18-Jan-21 07:23 PM

I'm pretty sure he did as well as he could.

He didn't seem malicious to me at all.

Well, uh, he seemed a little mind-controlled.

The bat-like creature staring at Manton spoke, voice shrill, earning a twitch from projection and patient alike. “If you’re going to stare,” it began, and Manton found it hard to break it’s gaze. “Then you can help. Get in here. You can thank Robin when he’s intact.” This ‘Robin’ character must’ve been both the body lying there on the table and the one responsible for what was left of Octavia being more stable. And besides, he didn’t really feel as though he could just ignore that creature’s words, either. Something about it… Both in Riley’s lab, and in Robin’s, he got to work with the other biotinkers.

Will he remember any of this or will it be a 'roll back'

Lucky_Plucky21 24-Jan-21 02:23 PM

Thats good

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 24-Jan-21 02:24 PM

Standard jumpchain severance package, of course he'll remember.

CodeRR 24-Jan-21 02:24 PM

Oh so he'll keep some stuff, ok that's better. A shitty ending but can't do anything about it

Lucky_Plucky21 24-Jan-21 02:25 PM

He will keep all of his things and perks

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 24-Jan-21 02:26 PM

As a side benefit, I'll throw in the therapy package you get from leaving Worm. God knows he could use it.

CodeRR 24-Jan-21 02:27 PM

Need it so badly

Lucky_Plucky21 24-Jan-21 02:27 PM

Yep

Dubiously Motivated Pika 24-Jan-21 02:27 PM

Oh, he 100% needs it.

Lucky_Plucky21 24-Jan-21 02:27 PM

A yamada package too October

Dubiously Motivated Pika 24-Jan-21 02:28 PM

I'm just glad he gets to go home. I'm not sure all of this was good for his mental health.

CodeRR 24-Jan-21 02:29 PM

of course, for all the things that he's taking it wasn't gonna leave him mentally untouched

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 24-Jan-21 02:29 PM

Oh, it absolutely wasn't. He voluntarily had part of his mind overwrote by some of the worst impulses of two serial killers. That's going to continue to be a problem for him, but he can work through it.

Lucky_Plucky21 24-Jan-21 02:29 PM

Yay for therapy

Dubiously Motivated Pika 24-Jan-21 02:30 PM

Ah, I'm glad he'll be able to get through all of that.

By the way, what's going to be happening with Ava? I assume someone from Jumpchain will be pulling her on board, or at least offering the option.

Lucky_Plucky21 24-Jan-21 02:31 PM

She is a rogue jumper

She is already on board

CodeRR 24-Jan-21 02:31 PM

She might get punished or nothing, we don't know yet unless October fills us in

October | Yep, I'm The Benefactor. [Forged Esoterica] BOT 24-Jan-21 02:31 PM

Oh, yeah, if she doesn't take the offer we'll probably just obliterate her, copy her mental engram onto another body identical to her original one, and send her home.

Can't let hyper-destructive rogue jumpers go around, one way or another. It ruins the playing field for everyone else.

Lucky_Plucky21 24-Jan-21 02:32 PM

True

CodeRR 24-Jan-21 02:32 PM

Considering what she did yeah, Destruction happens. But doing it to everything and not just their corner is just bad
