Nice.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:46 PM

its all technically true, even

you figured out that that's how you could bond thanks to this meeting occurring

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:47 PM

Fijerrgipneerg

Well, anyway, I have a bus to catch.

And then I'll try to do some meditation.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:48 PM

that works

i also think i know a way to get a generic tinker power - brockton's celestial forge

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:48 PM

...Huh. It occurs to me that I have no idea where 1010 would be able to stay. They're pretty conspicuous, after all.

Oh hey, a perfect excuse to reread it! Lol

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:48 PM

the rig probably has rooms, yeah?

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:49 PM

Yeah, I guess they'd stay in one of those.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:49 PM

you're also gonna need a social suite, so maybe getting a few charismas ground up would be good

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:49 PM

That sounds like a plan.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:49 PM

charisma + confidence

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:51 PM

least there's that

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:53 PM

It's the 11th. When in the timeline is that, again?

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:53 PM

the day after the lung fight

so, you're gonna need those charismas TODAY

April 11th Taylor joins the Undersiders.[175] Bakuda starts recruiting civilians,[176] sticking bombs inside their heads.[177] April 12th The bank robbery is planned.[178] April 13th Taylor fails to negotiate with Armsmaster.[179]

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:54 PM

Welp.

Oh! So that's why Armsmaster was so touchy today.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:55 PM

you may wanna use the clairvoyance card as well

just so you can pull that rabbit out of the hat

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:56 PM

Yeah, probably for the best. It would be a good reason for me to just know things I shouldn't.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:56 PM

the best part is, theyve seen that card, yeah?

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:56 PM

Yup.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:57 PM

so, when you drop the bombs about what goes down you're gonna give em hell and have it backed up (edited)

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:57 PM

Hell yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:57 PM

thank god for meta-knowledge

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:57 PM

Thank god.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:57 PM

ok, but youre gonna have to pick up dinah before reporting everything to the prt

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 09:58 PM

Ah, smart.

I'm not sure how much Coil has the PRT infiltrated, if he needed the Undersiders to retrieve secret files, and I'm not sure if he'd be able to kidnap Dinah if she had the Protectorate watching over her.

Still though, good to keep it on the down-low for now.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 09:59 PM

we can also leak the undersiders' connection to coil to ruin taylor's reason to infiltrate them

they will have mercenaries from coil, if things go the way they are now

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 10:00 PM

Oh! That could work!

Well, unless Taylor finds a new justification for staying with them, but I'm not sure if she would yet.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:00 PM

itd have been like 3 days

still, if you can manage to find taylor after the armsmaster discussion, that'd be an opportunity too

which clairvoyance could actually help with

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 10:01 PM

Or even during it, maybe.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:01 PM

during it is a risky maneuver that could strain your relationship with him

its an option, but a tricky one

so, clairvoyance, and throw some charisma in the mix

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 10:03 PM

Yeah.

Do I want to get anything to add to Clairvoyance, or just take it as is?

Oh, also, I got a Dragon card and an Armsmaster card.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:04 PM

hm... i dont think you can easily get too much in regards to boosting clairvoyance

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 10:05 PM

Yeah...

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:05 PM

id say combo dragon and learning but i think we know where that leads

so maybe dragon and future

might lead to dragon unchained

lazypika BOT 11-Apr-21 10:06 PM

Huh, that's an idea, yeah.

Well, I'll use Clairvoyance now.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:07 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:09 PM

well, if nothing else, hopefully you guys can at least pass along the pertinent info if she doesnt wake up soon-ish

aka by tomorrow

given yall came from her power, can probably claim you picked up a few bits and pieces from what she saw

Purlhew BOT 11-Apr-21 10:10 PM

I approve.

Is there anything we should pass along now?

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:11 PM

that she used her clairvoyance card, maybe - and that it seemed to be a bit of a doozy

...probably a good thing we didnt upgrade it further, come to think of it. more powerful precog sounds worse in this situation

Rin BOT 11-Apr-21 10:13 PM

Well, it could've been more useable precog, maybe?

Who's to say?

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:14 PM

ultimately, that's the risk we take with these things, i guess - its a gamble every time

sometimes you get 1010, sometimes you get precog nap

Rin BOT 11-Apr-21 10:15 PM

Well, we'll just have to wish her sweet dreams.

Limina Idling | Hours 11-Apr-21 10:15 PM

tbh this is also a "fear of a What if". it's not gonna help you atm if you worry over it

Will also say though....Just because something isn't "Human" doesn't mean it lacks "Humanity"

Pika-

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 01:29 PM

The Svadhisthana, or the Sacral chakra, is the Chakra that covers pleasure and creativity. It's nicknamed the Sexual Chakra because of that and the fact it's located under the stomach and groin area. This one is tied to the Element of Water and it's color is Orange. This Chakra is the one that allows us to accept new experiences and enjoy what we feel. It is blocked by guilt, making us be unable to enjoy life by coloring it over. (edited)

Pika 12-Apr-21 01:32 PM

Pika-Well, just to get this out of the way, I'm a sex-repulsed asexual, and I'm accepting of and confident about that part of myself, so the 'sexuality' aspect is probably the most well balanced of these things.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 01:32 PM

Indeed, then we don't have to touch that aspect and instead focus on the more important part which is creativity and enjoying the pleasure of Living. We touched on feelings of guilt a bit when you unblocked you Root Chakra, but this time we are going to focus in on those feelings instead. Imagine what you feel guilty for, no matter if it's rational or not.

Pika 12-Apr-21 01:34 PM

Pika-Brianne is an obvious one. I know it wasn't my fault, but she's essentially dead because of me.

Pika-I'm guilty about taking up space in Armsmaster's life, I guess. I don't think he's ever seemed to be happy to see me.

Pika-I feel guilty that I have such a good power and not being able to use it to its fullest potential.

Pika-I feel bad about keeping secrets from everyone.

Pika-I feel bad about bringing 1010 into this shitty world, when I have no idea how to properly support them in any way, and I feel bad whenever I try to be the local horni patrol for them.

Pika-I feel really weird about the fact I've read fanfiction about real people. Hell, I've written RPs about real people.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 01:39 PM

Any other things you feel guilty for?

Pika 12-Apr-21 01:39 PM

Pika-Let me think...

Pika-I feel guilty that I've left my real family behind. I know it wasn't my choice, and I miss them like hell, but part of me also feels like I've sort of run away? Even though it wasn't my choice to come here at all. Just the general idea of me leaving my family and ending up in the world of a story I like makes me feel like shit.

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 01:42 PM

I guess, in general, I feel a little guilty about taking up space in people's lives? Like, people are having to go out of their do things for me.

Pika 12-Apr-21 01:42 PM

(Heyo! Bot's back!)

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 01:43 PM

I still feel bad I'm not doing everything perfectly optimally, munchkinning for maximum card gain and maximum canon-helping-ness and getting in contact with Cauldron as fast as I could.

I mean, I tried calling for Doormaker, but I haven't tried anything since then.

I feel guilty about just letting canon things happen. Taylor's already joined the Undersiders, which I could've stopped if I'd been more on the ball.

I procrastinated something, which fucked things up, and now I'm stuck playing catch-up.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 01:46 PM

nod Is that all?

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 01:47 PM

It's all I can think of at the moment. There's probably more that I haven't thought of, but I think this is all the big things.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 01:56 PM

Alright cracks neck The biggest aspects is that you are feeling guilty over things that are ether not in your control, things that are the fault of others and simply for being human. Much of your guilt is simply taking the burden for things you could do nothing about. You could not stop your body swapping with her, you did not choose to leave your family behind for this. Those things in particular are completely out of your control and sucking the life you could be using for simply what came to pass. Accept that they have come and move forward. Armsmaster? He is a man who had a routine and one who has issues connecting to people. This is likely a shock to him that he doesn't know of, so many things stressing him out and you sadly are another. BUT That is not your FAULT If he does not wish to have a close relationship then it is not worth it. Do not think your own time is lesser then his own simply because he is Brianne's biological father. He is simply a man, not a icon of virtue. Stop taking guilt for another person's actions, they are not yours to bear. The 1010? You have given them life. Yes they did not ask and nether did you, but both your lifes have already been enritched by each other. To feel guilty for something like this...don't wallow and strive to do as best as you can and the best they can be. The last part about Cauldron and not using your powers to the fullest? Pika your expecting yourself to be less then you are. Your not perfect nor should you expect it, even the smartest and strongest are not perfect. Don't force yourself to feel guilt, use it as a drive to say "I feel I can do better, I will do better"

You shouldn't try and hold yourself to another more perfect pedestal. That perfection that you feel guilt for having is holding you back. As rough as it is, instead of using energy to feel guilt on a ideal "if only", grasp your creativity and walk forward, ENJOY LIVING. For even in a world as shitty as this there is GOOD, there is LIFE to enjoy and live.

Great Speech

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 01:58 PM

Overall, accept your actions so you can go and be a positive force in your life and others. You are not a waste of space in people's lives, it's a insult to yourself and them to say that your wasting their time. If they truly think that? Then they know nothing of who you are

Lucky_Plucky21 12-Apr-21 01:58 PM

But yeah you aren’t atlas or Hercules to carry the world

and feeling guilty for not fulfilling those shoes only hurts yourself from enjoying what's in front of you and who you are on the inside.

Lucky_Plucky21 12-Apr-21 02:00 PM

Yep

Like they say hakuna matata

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 02:01 PM

So, I guess the things I'm guilty about can be split into two categories.

Things that aren't my fault, and things that happened because I'm not some perfect person.

Brianne, 1010, Armsmaster, while they're technically on my existence, none of them are on me.

It wasn't any conscious choice on my part that actually changed any of them.

As for the second category, being less than optimal at all times is just human. Sure, there's probably better people this power could've gone to, but they'd probably fret about being imperfect too.

Heck, there's worse people it could've gone to. Imagine if, I dunno, Jack Slash or something had gotten this power.

Limina Idling | Hours 12-Apr-21 02:07 PM

you saying that after having a jack slash dream makes me nervous

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 02:07 PM

Weird But yeah that sounds about right

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 02:08 PM

And, even if any of this was truly my fault, it's not like I'd suddenly have a reason to drown in guilt.

Guilt is a natural human reaction to things, and not feeling it would be a bad sign, but just stewing things isn't going to fix them in any way.

Lucky_Plucky21 12-Apr-21 02:09 PM

Mhm

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 02:09 PM

If I do feel bad about something that's my fault, then I should try to do better.

cherry picking at something that could have multiple definitions - its more likely to make you want to broaden your horizons a little than make the frogs turn gay or something

Or at least an approximation without the abuse of marijuana

Limina Idling | Hours 12-Apr-21 02:27 PM

this isn't the chakra card we're saying to use

destressing is tier 2, so odds are she'd just find her duties in costume less stressful, i think?

it could go the way of her seeming drugged, but its improbable

Lucky_Plucky21 12-Apr-21 02:29 PM

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 02:59 PM

From what I remember from canon, she only heals a few hours a week, and she goes to heal people willingly when she's feeling down about herself. Lemme see if I can find the quote.

“I never wanted these powers. I never wanted powers, period.”

He nodded. “But I got them anyways, and I got international attention over it. The healer. The girl who could cure cancer with a touch, make someone ten years younger, regrow lost limbs. I’m forced to be a hero. Burdened with this obligation. I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t use this power. It’s such an opportunity, to save lives.”

Messed up the quote bar thingy, but you get the picture.

Yep....cheese and crackers yeah she's....caked is a word I would use. Such lack of Virtue....

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 03:01 PM

Couldn't find how often she heals a week, though.

Panacea is another ticking time bomb I have no idea how to help.

And I don't want to mess with her head without permission.

This is why I wanted to put the Grounded Root card in an item, so I could potentially pass it off to someone who needs it for a while, like Panacea.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 03:04 PM

My only thing is, would she carry it around enough. I will admit I thought they kept talking like big items like just in the middle of town

nah, that's lucky wanting you to go the route of khepri

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 03:05 PM

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:13 PM

Miss Militia.

And one Protectorate and one Perform.

Well, it's lunchtime now.

I have a fighting course after lunch, so if I want to make some martial arts cards, after that seems like an ideal place to do it.

I'd probably want some anime cards for that too, so watching anime is an option.

Or maybe watching those 'Guess the anime OP' quizzes that are everywhere.

I could also try to get a T1 card to pair with Guild to get a replacement for that Protectorate + Knowledge card.

Also, I need to talk with Triumph about Dinah.

And since Clairvoyance is pretty uncontrolled, it can explain why I only know certain things with meta-knowledge.

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:31 PM

Well, I'll try to find Triumph for now, then I might try to get something to pair with Guild.

Maybe just a Superhero card?

They're easy enough to get.

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:33 PM

Ah, here he is.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 04:34 PM

Cape found

Brianne BOT 12-Apr-21 04:34 PM

"Hi, Triumph, right?"

Triumph BOT 12-Apr-21 04:35 PM

"That's me. You're the new singing cape, right? Arcana?"

Brianne BOT 12-Apr-21 04:36 PM

"That was, uh, kind of on-the-spot. I didn't know there'd be a crowd, or that anyone would record me."

"Anyway."

"So, long story short, my power gives me new stuff over time, and I just got a power called Clairvoyance this morning."

"And, uh..."

"Is your cousin a cape?"

Triumph BOT 12-Apr-21 04:37 PM

"My- wha?"

"Not as far as I know...?"

Brianne BOT 12-Apr-21 04:39 PM

"My power gave me a bunch of weird visions, and in one of them, I saw her asking herself questions and automatically rattling off percentage probabilities."

"So, I just wanted to check and see if that was, like... expected."

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 04:39 PM

And then she gets kidnapped lol

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:40 PM

Yyyyeah, not sure how to put that one lightly.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 04:40 PM

Yeah but if he at least checks... it's better then none

Triumph BOT 12-Apr-21 04:41 PM

"I mean, I'd have to check with her, but she doesn't have powers as far as I know."

"Why do you ask?"

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 04:41 PM

Put it bluntly then.

Brianne BOT 12-Apr-21 04:41 PM

"It's... a villain is interested in her power. Coil."

"He was looking out for sudden chronic headaches I think, was hoping to track down thinkers, and he noticed her."

Triumph BOT 12-Apr-21 04:42 PM

"..."

"...She has been getting headaches a lot, recently."

Brianne BOT 12-Apr-21 04:43 PM

"Yeah."

Triumph BOT 12-Apr-21 04:43 PM

"Thanks for the warning. I'll call my aunt and uncle."

"See you around."

Narrator BOT 12-Apr-21 04:43 PM

Without waiting for a reply, Triumph turned and hurried away.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 04:44 PM

Good deed done

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:45 PM

Yeah. I can only hope Coil doesn't panic and pull anything.

Well, I guess I'll start trying to get a Superhero card for now.

Dice Maiden BOT 12-Apr-21 04:47 PM

(Was that enough for a Triumph card? (d100, DC50): 23)

Coil is absolutely going to pull something

You just proved that you had a precog power that trumps his

(Ho-ly shit)

(Another one???)

(We just had one yesterday!)

(The dice just fucken love cards ig)

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 04:51 PM

Even worse, it's an uncontrolled precog power, by your own admission. It doesn't matter how many layers of information seperation he put in between you and him, you could just randomly get a dramatic vision where he takes off his Coilysuit and reveal the face of Thomas Calvert.

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:51 PM

Ah hell.

Actually, the viral video works in my favour here, right? People know who I am, so Coil can't just quietly kidnap me.

It at least narrows his options.

Also, I wonder if my power has 'experience bars' for each of my cards? Because I feel like two of them just ticked over.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 04:52 PM

Yeah. And... I dunno how deep Coil's PRT spies go in this iteration, but I think if he hears about this he'll absolutely pull something. But he might not hear too soon?

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:53 PM

I mean, I've only told Triumph so far, and he doesn't have the PRT fully infiltrated.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 04:53 PM

Yeah... of course, if Dinah becomes a Ward because of this, he probably be interested enough to have his spies explicitly investigate

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:54 PM

Yeah.

My powers aren't going to stay a secret from him.

So, I might want a trump card up my sleeve, when I deal with him.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 04:55 PM

Wait what happened to your cards

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:55 PM

I just got three at once.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 04:55 PM

Ugh I hope that you somehow aren't actually shard connected somehow and his power can't simulate you right

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:55 PM

A Superhero, a Learning, and a Time.

God, I hope so.

randomperson44 ↩️

Reply to: Ugh I hope that you somehow aren't actually shard connected somehow and his power can't simulate you…

I didn't do any Time things I hadn't been doing before, so maybe they work like experience bars?

I just accumulates little bits of Time over the past couple of days, until it was enough to become a card.

Speaking of, the card multiplier buzzing is back.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 04:58 PM

What did that do again? I think I left during the period you figured out what it does, last time.

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:58 PM

It seems to mean that I get more cards from things.

An 'experience multiplier', if I wanted to keep that metaphor going.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 04:59 PM

Mmm. Cool. Basic, but useful.

Especially with your upcoming combat training.

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 04:59 PM

Agreed.

Well, before that, it seems like I have enough cards to build up to that T4 Defiant card.

Or, at least, try to. I might get another dud along the way.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:01 PM

Oh, nice.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 05:01 PM

Hm...not sure on the combination But good we got this on the combat training

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:01 PM

Yeah. Combat skills is probably one of the top things I need at the moment.

I think Guild + Superhero is a good bet for a T2 card.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 05:04 PM

Mhm

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:08 PM

Guild Hero.

So, this plus the Defiant.

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 05:11 PM

Yeh

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:15 PM

Defiant, Guild Hero.

That's pretty on-the-nose, given the combo.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:16 PM

pfft yeah lol. there are so many Colin cards. They reflect the RPs

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 05:16 PM

Mhm

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:17 PM

...Gdi

Is this some sort of weird karma?

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:18 PM

It's just like. Every time you combine a Colin card with another card and think 'maybe this time I'll get something really interesting?', your card powers just say "no, have another Colin variant!"

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:18 PM

Maybe it's due to the difference in specificity?

For example, a Guild-flavoured Defiant feels more obvious than a Defiant-flavoured Guild. I'm not even sure what the latter would be.

Defiant + PRT might get Dragon's Teeth, potentially, but otherwise, the more specific card feels like it's going to win out.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:20 PM

True. But for instance, Defiant and Dragon are related enough that it could have given a Dragon card. But it did not.

Colin is the Pikachu of this card system lol

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:21 PM

I mean, in canon, how much of an effect did specifically Armsmaster have on Dragon vs Dragon on Armsmaster? Maybe if it had been Dragon + Defiant, then I would've gotten some sort of 'Dragon Unchained' card?

Reply to: Colin is the Pikachu of this card system lol

I feel like some of the combos are based a little bit off cause and effect? Like, 2x Learning gives knowledge, because if you learn a lot, you know stuff.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:22 PM

Pikachu has like 150 unique cards in the TCG you will go through this many Colin variants

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:22 PM

FJIWEPIFUNWEPFUN

It really is karma.

Tbf, it happened for Hard-Won Lesson. I'm p sure it only had one anime card in it, but still ended up with anime for the card art.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:24 PM

I think that's partially because that's such an anime concept though

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:25 PM

Yeah fair.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:26 PM

Now keep on with the cards

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:27 PM

Yes, Captain!

Armsmaster into Defiant.

Incidentally, that's also the name of the fanart used in the card art.

You know, if you put this on Armsmaster it's almost certainly going to just straight up turn him into Defiant

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:29 PM

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.

I'd need to ask permission first, though.

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:31 PM

It's not like Defiant is significantly stronger than Armsmaster, so the card wouldn't even have much to do on that front. The change is mainly one of outlook and goals. The most problematic part is the future knowledge, but this is a T4, so I think it can handle it.

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:31 PM

Actually, yeah. Since it's a T4, where would all the extra power go?

Lucky_Plucky21 12-Apr-21 05:31 PM

Robot body?

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 05:32 PM

Probably... Which probably would include a version of dragon then wouldn't it

randomhuman44 12-Apr-21 05:33 PM

Future knowledge is pretty powerful? And yeah, depending on how far in the future, Defiant is pretty good at fixing up Dragon's code, which is quite powerful on its own.

lazypika BOT 12-Apr-21 05:34 PM

That could be it, yeah.

Pika 12-Apr-21 05:34 PM

CodeRR 12-Apr-21 05:36 PM

Sad to say I got to go to sleep so if you all can do me a favor and hang on to those martial art cards and not use them and maybe an anime Carter 2 to try my idea out but if you have to I get it
