Well, it looks like there was some sort of leak in the gamemasters' messaging system.

Eh, I guess the audience will be having more of a say in the game this time.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:52 PM

apparently theres audience participation to some degree, ye

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 08:53 PM

There's not *meant* to be.

You're not even from the list of worlds approved for broadcast!

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 08:54 PM

But, eh, it'll be a fun twist on the classic formula. Can't let things get too boring now, can we?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:54 PM

we have no clue how this happened, neither do you, easiest to work with or around it, ye

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 08:54 PM

Exactly! This is now a feature, not a bug.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:54 PM

So uh

Can someone explain what's going on?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:54 PM

at least bethesda got one thing right anyways, hi notte, you're a superhero now

and apparently have an audience in your brain

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:55 PM

Like, DC superhero or Worm superhero?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:55 PM

jojo superhero

by all indications, anyways

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:55 PM

J

JoJo?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:55 PM

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:56 PM

I mean, Mozart has a stand arrow pfp, but I assumed it was just a personal preference.

Also, JoJo doesn't exactly have brain discord in it.

Or Discord at all, for that matter.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:56 PM

i mean, on the big card at the top, it shows a kinda simple lookin version of gold experience

as for brain discord, its a feature, not a bug

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:56 PM

...Crap.

Mozart ↩️

Reply to: Status:

And I guess the name 'Stand Off' can't be a coincidence either, can it?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:57 PM

probably not no

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:57 PM

Welp.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:57 PM

heres hoping things arent hunger games-y

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:57 PM

Why would things be Hunger Games-y?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:57 PM

stand-offs

regardless, you have a stand that could potentially become the most busted thing in jojo history

so theres that plus

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:58 PM

...And a participant list.

Uh, how does one, like, summon a stand?

I doubt I even have enough fighting spirit for one.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:58 PM

if you didnt have enough fighting spirit for a stand, it'd kill you

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:58 PM

I mean, Holy was fine for a while before she got sick, right?

It takes time. Maybe I'll collapse in the next day or so and then die in 50.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:59 PM

rip

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 08:59 PM

Thanks

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 08:59 PM

well, better get flexing those spiritual muscles

you'll need to get used to feelin this one out

maybe get mad or something

well this is awkward

hope you got google translate available

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:04 PM

oh thank god

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:05 PM

"Uh, no. Sorry."

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:06 PM

you should probably introduce yourself, relay what you know of the situation

GE is even more confused than you are

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:08 PM

"I'm Notte Normandy, by the way."

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:08 PM

ohhhh. boy.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:10 PM

"So, I don't really know what's going on, but I kinda just woke up in a place I don't recognise and got a... psychic message? Saying that I'm the ninth player in some sort of game."

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:10 PM

out of 16

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:10 PM

"It's called Stand Off, apparently. There was also a grid of 16 blank spaces, and the ninth one was filled in with a Gold Experience icon."

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:11 PM

"You're familiar with my stand, then?"

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:11 PM

Uh

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:11 PM

you may wanna tell him to take a look at himself

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:11 PM

'Oh hey yeah, you're fictional in my world.'

"I'm, uh, looking right at your stand."

Awake 29-Mar-21 09:12 PM

'someone with a powerful ability thought your story was worth writing about from another world'

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:12 PM

"I'm fully aware. I'm just curious as to how you knew the name Gold Experience?"

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:13 PM

"Long story short, there's this guy that I'm pretty sure is a stand user, and he wrote about a bunch of stands and stuff."

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:13 PM

"How easy to access is this information?"

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:13 PM

Uh

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:13 PM

different earth

common on yours, like hell someone from his would find it

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:14 PM

"Have you heard of the many worlds theory? I'm from an alternate universe. No Speedwagon Foundation and whatnot."

"It's pretty well-known there, but I don't know if it's known at all outside that world."

"Alternate worlds? Well, I've seen stranger."

true

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:16 PM

"I can tell that you're not telling the full truth, but you do seem to be genuine about not knowing what's going on, so I'll trust that it doesn't matter."

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:16 PM

"You can?"

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:16 PM

giorno's a remarkably good judge of character

highly perceptive, and all that

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:17 PM

"I'm able to sense everything you sense. If your eyes widen a hair or your heart rate speeds up, I can feel it."

"Of course, I'd like to think I'm good at reading people aside from that."

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:18 PM

lol

yeah, thats fair

bit freaky how he can sense everything, but it is what it is

wouldnt be entirely surprised if he could read this chat tbh

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:19 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:19 PM

you are kind of 'sensing' it after all

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:20 PM

"Are you able to see the psychic messages I can see?"

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:20 PM

"Hmm..."

"I can."

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:20 PM

hi giorno

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:20 PM

Hello.

Awake 29-Mar-21 09:20 PM

Hullo

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:20 PM

so, we're from notte's earth, or at least one similar enough that we cant easily tell the difference

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:20 PM

So you have access to the information on stand users as well?

Awake 29-Mar-21 09:21 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:21 PM

we've got a full on wiki

ill just be up-front with you, the info we got comes in the format of anime and manga

Awake 29-Mar-21 09:21 PM

Actually we should prolly figure out where in timeline giorno/GE is from

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:22 PM

I don't know what a 'wiki' is.

Is this anime and manga where the image next to my name comes from?

Awake 29-Mar-21 09:22 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:22 PM

basically an online repository of information and yeah

there's also some time fuckery since we're from 2021 and youre Not but, you might be used to that sort of stuff

so theres gonna be some degree of cultural divide, i think

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:23 PM

Ah. That would explain things.

I'm from 2001, so you're 20 years in the future compared to me.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:23 PM

You're from four years before I was even born.

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:24 PM

So you'd be one year older than me.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:24 PM

Doesn't feel like it, but yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:25 PM

btw, giorno, you got a theme song over here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MtOpB5LlUA

Golden Weed

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:Golden Wind OST: ~Giorno's Theme~ "Il vent...

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:26 PM

Not something I expected to ever have.

The colours seem to be wrong as well - my uniform jacket is blue, not purple.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:26 PM

yeah, the anime recolored some stuff

for some reason made your ladybug brooches blue??

idk why (edited)

but anyways, yeah, you're pretty popular over here man - you were the protagonist of the part you starred in

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:29 PM

How popular is 'pretty popular', exactly?

Also, I must say, I like the piano in the theme song.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:31 PM

well, the story, jojo's bizarre adventure, is kiiiiinda niche in a hipster-y way, but like. with the internet becoming a fucking Huge thing you're basically internationally famous obviously the story is the only data point we have there, so its generally assumed you're just the protagonist of said story

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:32 PM

I see.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:32 PM

context

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:33 PM

...

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:33 PM

"Oh god rule 34"

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:33 PM

"What?"

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:33 PM

dont ask

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:33 PM

"Nothing!"

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:33 PM

...

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:34 PM

anyways, to put the number of results in perspective, i get About 1,570,000,000 results for 'dragons' in google

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:35 PM

How about, say, Luke Skywalker?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:35 PM

About 53,900,000 results

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:36 PM

So I'm approximately just under a third as popular as the protagonist of one of the most popular movie series of all time.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:36 PM

according to google, anyways

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:37 PM

Well. I suppose I can't do anything but just deal with it.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:37 PM

in reality the number's probably a bit lower due to the number of people who'd just potentially hear about something in passing

you dont exactly have blockbuster movies quite yet

and god knows those get advertised fucking everywhere

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:39 PM

Good to know.

So, back to the topic at hand.

Mozart. What exactly is going on?

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 09:40 PM

Glad you finally asked!

This is Season 4 of the popular interdimensional game show Stand Off!

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:40 PM

And the rules of the game?

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 09:41 PM

16 players enter a randomly chosen world with randomly chosen abilities from your general area of the multiverse. Only one player may make it out.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:41 PM

C

Come again?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:43 PM

so interdimensional hunger games with superpowers, basically

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 09:43 PM

This is a game of death. Battle Royale, The Hunger Games, Fate, Mirai Nikki, Danganronpa...

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:43 PM

so what's this world?

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 09:43 PM

The 16 players will fight to the death until only one remains.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:44 PM

"Oh god..."

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:44 PM

dont worry, notte, you're probably in luck by being one of a rare few healers

technically thats all giornos thing but you are kinda stuck together atm

and non-stand-users cant see stands

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 09:45 PM

As for the world, Parahumans by Wildbow was the one randomly selected.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:45 PM

ah. well that's a thing

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:45 PM

"Oh god."

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:45 PM

take a seat notte, i do have something approaching a plan

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:46 PM

...

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:46 PM

if you dont have the stomach to take people out, joining the prt and getting shipped out to, say, alaska, is an option

this world has enough fucking environmental hazards

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 09:46 PM

Players may not leave the starting area. There's an invisible barrier around the city that players can't pass through.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:47 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:47 PM

i take it that also applies to teleportation and interdimensional travel, then

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 09:47 PM

Yes.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:47 PM

well, shit, there goes that plan

let me guess: the starting area is brockton bay

Mozart BOT 29-Mar-21 09:48 PM

Naturally.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:48 PM

notte, you should see if you can find a way to get the date

establish continuity

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:49 PM

Right.

It's the 1st of June.

At least, I found a newspaper from the 1st of June.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:50 PM

...welp, s9 are coming sooner rather than later

thank god you aren't a parahuman

and that you missed leviathan

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:51 PM

I want to cry.

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:52 PM

I take it the 'S9' are bad.

And 'parahuman'?

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 09:52 PM

slaughterhouse 9, a bunch of murderhobos basically, instead of stand users, everyone in this world gets their powers from a brain tumor connected to an interdimensional parasite

(edited)

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 09:59 PM

The closest of these to a stand is Siberian, who's basically an indestructible long-range stand.

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 09:59 PM

Noted.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:00 PM

She can be de-summoned and re-summoned at will for an effect like teleportation, but certain effects like timestop destroy her. Damage reflection may as well, idk

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:00 PM

These cape abilities seem stronger on average than stands.

Or at least wider scale.

If I had the requiem arrow, this would all be much easier.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:00 PM

They are, yeah. The whole supernatural phenomenon thing is common knowledge here, and all that Here's hoping someone else got Chariot Requiem

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:01 PM

I believe we'd already know if they did.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:01 PM

point.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:01 PM

If someone got Made in Heaven I am going to Scream.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:01 PM

oh yeah that reminds me

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:01 PM

Or Love Train.

Or Wonder of U

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:02 PM

in a few years on your world, giorno, someone's gonna try to reset the fucking planet with a ridiculously powerful stand that manipulates time

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:02 PM

In 2011-2012 kinda time.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:02 PM

unlimited control of the acceleration of it

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:02 PM

Ah.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:02 PM

that shit goes down in florida, so. heads up, there

a thought for the future

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:03 PM

Enrico Pucci. He is or will be the priest at a prison called the Green Dolphin Street Prison.

Anyway.

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:03 PM

Well, when I get back, I'll have the arrow again, so solving that should be simple enough.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:04 PM

yeah, true

so, we have 15 unknown stand users, several nazi groups sitting in this town, a healer who's almost suicidally burnt out on healing and is a prime target for the s9 recruitment drive in the form of amy dallon, and the s9 on their way (edited)

lots of problems, less so as many answers

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:05 PM

And several supervillains are going to be taking over parts of the city as their territories.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:06 PM

god, yeah. fucking coil

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:06 PM

And there's a giant evil cloning monster under the city.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:07 PM

coil's basically a bond villain with the power to 'split the timeline' in two and pick whichever result he prefers in that sorta division, and he backs the villains who take over the town (edited)

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:07 PM

And the local hero organisation just took some major losses a couple of weeks ago.

Oh yeah, and Coil captured a little girl who can see the future and is keeping her drugged up and compliant.

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:07 PM

...

It sounds like we have a lot of work to do.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:08 PM

taking over coil's organization might be an option, assuming we can corner that slippery snake

thankfully, despite secret identities being a thing here, we know his: thomas calvert

i think either we should try to take coil down or try to help amy dallon

maybe both at once

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:10 PM

Infiltrating an organisation to take it down from the inside is something I'm familiar with, as I'm sure you know.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:11 PM

yknow. its weird that you infiltrating a criminal organization lead by a semi-precognitive time manipulator is something that's happened twice in a row

like you'd think that's a once-in-a-lifetime thing but apparently not? (edited)

anyways. if there was anyone you could start with, itd be tattletale - she's a thinker too, puts together missing bits of info between data points like sherlock on adderall, and she wants to take the slimy bastard down

skitter, a bug master with a range of several blocks, is also an option, though she's kind of the independant type

did straight up take a page out of your book with the whole 'go in undercover, figure out who the boss is' plan though

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:15 PM

They're members of a group called The Undersiders.

Them and the Travellers both work for Coil and they're the ones who'll be taking over territory.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:16 PM

natually, they'll be recruiting to help solidify their hold on the city

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:17 PM

Well, there's one option for a plan, I guess.

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:18 PM

Will this require holding territory? Because a new 'cape' with powers similar to my own could be called as a participant rather quickly.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:19 PM

in the face of the slaughterhouse 9, the teeth, and the ambassadors, if they try to make moves, possibly

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:20 PM

I mean, Coil's group use their powers to intimidate people into following them, so we'd probably need to use your abilities.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:20 PM

we also have the option of staying under the radar, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike

it could let us work with tattletale on the down-low, and it'd keep us from getting the villain label, which means we'd be able to tackle amy as well

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:21 PM

If they were willing to accept a member who wouldn't take territory.

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:22 PM

We could always try approaching one of the Undersiders directly and ask them if we can become their minion.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:22 PM

definitely a bold move, but it could work

regent's a sociopath with a bit of a heart for his team, so he probably wouldnt be the best one to approach grue's got some kind of complex on this sorta stuff, though i can see the potential of a healer being too big to pass up on bitch [yes, thats her cape ID] would just be more or less inapproachable, her power wired her up with canine instincts and shes been through a hell of a lot skitter is a definitive maybe assuming we can 'prove ourselves' or w/e tattletale would probably figure us out in 5 minutes of conversation, but she wants out from under coil

Notte BOT 29-Mar-21 10:26 PM

Skitter or Tattletale would be my bets here too.

My only issue now is that other people might know Worm and want to approach the Undersiders as well.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:26 PM

yeah, true

a slightly wait-and-see approach could be useful

Gold Experience BOT 29-Mar-21 10:30 PM

My one issue with the 'wait and see' approach is that other participants could jump on the opportunity to side with the Undersiders and turn them against us.

There's only so much one can do without allies.

Limina Idling | Hours 29-Mar-21 10:30 PM

true, and we'll need all the allies we can get

if the undersiders don't work out, we can probably approach new wave

they require you go without a secret identity, but there's probably legal precedent for being attacked by dimensional effects

Awake 30-Mar-21 09:25 PM

Given Giorno is controlling his stand, the others probably are being controlled by users. But luckily theres a lot of stands so the likelihood is lower

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:26 PM

hm... well, hunger games were brought up as a thing before

Awake 30-Mar-21 09:26 PM

Oh god, I hope nobody got Killer Queen

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:26 PM

what about a hunger games solution to the more heroic ones?

...fuck. killer queen. touch-based explosions attached to items, plus a heat-seeking tank

downtown would go up in smoke

Awake 30-Mar-21 09:27 PM

That's without them having Bites the Dust too

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:28 PM

fuck

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 09:38 PM

If it was the other Killer Queen, that makes actual big boom explosions, which could be even worse.

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:38 PM

I'm sure there's a lot of highly dangerous stands out there.

Really, very few stands would be ideal to fight.

Perhaps the turtle's stand, but I can't think of any others.

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 09:40 PM

Superfly maybe. Possibly Hey Ya.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:40 PM

non-combat-focused stands in general

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 09:40 PM

Is Holly's stand on the list?

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:40 PM

one guy just got the fucking sun as a stand tho

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:41 PM

Perhaps, if they don't team up with anyone, Moody Blues.

The sun?

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:41 PM

yes

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:41 PM

Well, I'm not at risk of getting sunburn anymore, so I shouldn't be as much of a liability there.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:41 PM

it was called the sun, it was the sun, the user stalked people in a golf cart with a mirror

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 09:42 PM

And, thus, two identical rocks became the funniest shit I've ever seen.

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:42 PM

It was just called 'The Sun'? That's not particularly... original.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:43 PM

i think all the stands from that era were based on tarot cards and egyptian gods

they were also flunkies of your dad

we could probably tell you about him, if you like, but its not a happy tale

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:44 PM

You know about my father?

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:44 PM

dio brando

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 09:44 PM

:|

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:44 PM

it was gonna come up eventually, especially if someone has the world

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 09:44 PM

Or any stand from SDC.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:44 PM

yeah

so, some real weird shit: dio is a vampire

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:45 PM

You're joking.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:45 PM

not even slightly

hes from victorian era london

got sunk under the sea for a hundred years or so

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 09:45 PM

For the first two parts out of eight, JoJo focused on vampires. There weren't any stands at all.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:46 PM

there was also hamon, aka magic sunlight electricity bullshit

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 09:46 PM

Part 1 was set in 1888, where a 19 year old Jonathan Joestar fought his vampiric adopted brother Dio Brando.

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:47 PM

Joestar? Isn't that the name of the CEO of a big-name real estate company?

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:47 PM

indeed it is, and you're technically related

ultimately, jonathan loses, but did manage to destroy dio's body and leave him just a head at which point he stole jonathan's body

on an exploding boat

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:48 PM

You're saying this with utmost sincerity, but it's just so outlandish.

I suppose my father wasn't a good man, then.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:48 PM

oh yeah he was a fucking asshole

dio killed most of the people he fucked

he killed. like. so many people

but, you're also related to jonathan joestar, who was a noble as hell guy who does deserve respect

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:49 PM

Oh.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:49 PM

remember, dio stole jonathans body

ultimately, you ended up getting the best traits of both of them - dio's ruthless cunning, and jonathan's noble spirit

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:50 PM

I'm not worried about myself in any way. Trish is very much unlike her own father.

When I was younger I dearly hoped that, one day, my father would come back and swoop me away to take care of me like the other kids' fathers do.

A photograph and my mother's stories were all I had of him, so I assigned him personality traits in my head, and made up stories where we'd go to the ice cream parlour together and he'd buy me the chocolate gelato I'd always wanted to try.

So to learn this about him is...

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:54 PM

for what it's worth, jonathan would've loved to meet you

dio might be proud of you, too, but i have a hard time figuring him out

the most we see of him is through the eyes of his enemies, usually

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:55 PM

Jonathan isn't the father my mother told me about. He's not the father I delicately pieced together stories of in my wish to know about him.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:56 PM

all i can really say is you've got my condolences

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:56 PM

Thank you.

There'll be plenty of time to discuss this later.

For now, we can concentrate on the more immediate issues.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:57 PM

so, we've got shelter sorted out, we have skitter's future location sorted out

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:57 PM

For instance, I'll need material to turn into food, and we'll want to secure a supply of water.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 09:58 PM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOxZrCAPhok this might help?

The King of Random

as for material to turn to food, leviathan hit this town. wouldnt be shocked if there was all sorts of junk around

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 09:59 PM

If other people have access to drinkable water already, which they very likely do, then it would be better to find that source instead of trying to purify water ourselves.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:00 PM

true. doesnt hurt to have something as a backup idea rattling in the back of your head in case that proves too difficult, though

you can only go so long without water, after all

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:02 PM

"Each box contains enough basic food rations for four people. They also have first aid supplies and water filters."

Skitter, 11.2

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:02 PM

oh thank god

so that ought to work out itself when you join up

Awake 30-Mar-21 10:03 PM

Yeah, water for food supplies would be nice. But not for drinking, remember

We need bottled water for that

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:03 PM

Though it also means that water filters are in high enough demand that they'd need to be handed out in supply boxes.

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:03 PM

Actually, let me just

SFX and/or Camera BOT 30-Mar-21 10:03 PM

*Faucet turns*

*Water sounds*

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:04 PM

Ah.

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:04 PM

Well! That was easy.

I guess this building still has fresh water access, somehow.

Awake 30-Mar-21 10:04 PM

That's good

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:04 PM

oh nice

good thing we were overthinking this

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:04 PM

Perhaps it's close enough to Skitter's lair that we get fresh water too?

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:04 PM

you might even get wifi

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:04 PM

I'm not a plumber by any means.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:05 PM

wifi means plenty of internet to browse for situational info

and info on the state of the city and such

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:06 PM

My phone's getting signal, but there's no data or wifi available.

I guess I don't have a phone plan for Earth Bet.

I can get internet over Discord, but it's not Earth Bet's internet.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:07 PM

if you ever get a computer, that might work out

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:07 PM

Skitter's base might've had internet access, but I can't remember.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:08 PM

it did

im pretty sure of it, at least

'She considers the top floor to belong to 'Taylor', as it contains her living spaces, with functional television and internet in contrast to the vast majority of the city.'

yep

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:09 PM

Thought so.

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:09 PM

Something to look forward to, then.

Well, we might want to set up the space here to make it a bit more liveable.

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:10 PM

There's some sofas in the back area that could do as beds.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:10 PM

that works

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:10 PM

And plenty of spare fabric to use in place of blankets.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:11 PM

hell, yall might be able to make blankets if you really wanted

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:11 PM

For now, you might want to get a bag and collect some rubble for me to turn into fruit and vegetables.

I could make wool or hemp or cotton, certainly, but making finished products is still beyond me.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:12 PM

you said it seemed like a tailor's shop, yeah?

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:12 PM

I did.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:12 PM

you might be able to use the tools of the trade, if they're in there, for something approximating a finished product

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:13 PM

Huh. We could just make this into an actual tailor again.

Ooh! I found some raw-looking wool!

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:14 PM

ooh, nice

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:14 PM

That means they probably had a use for raw wool.

Which means, fabric-making machines.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:14 PM

yee

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:17 PM

Ooh, maybe we can even make dyes.

Purple dye is made from sea snails or something, right?

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:18 PM

lavender is an option

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:19 PM

Ooh, lavender oils!

I never considered how fun for DIY Gold Experience would be.

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:19 PM

I never did either. My focus was always on other things.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:20 PM

if nothing else, assuming you get time to blow off steam, you'll have time for it

i also had a thought: fixing things via plant grafting

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:21 PM

Which things are you referring to?

And we'll want to be keeping any supernatural abilities on the down-low for now, yes?

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:22 PM

just things in general, though computers are an idea - lotta delicate components and all also yeah, down-low is important

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:23 PM

Computers...? With plant grafting?

Ah, you mean turning things into plants, then turning them back?

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:24 PM

yeah

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:25 PM

Perhaps, for larger objects, but smaller, more precise things like computer boards will be an issue.

The objects will still retain any damage from cutting parts off for grafting purposes, so fixing computers with it wouldn't be plausible.

Notte BOT 30-Mar-21 10:27 PM

So it would be a little like trying to put a computer back together with The Hand, it sounds like.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:28 PM

yeah, seems like it. at least there is some merit to the idea, though - and who knows? with time and practice, it could eventually be within the realm of possibility

at least we have a way to fix walls

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:29 PM

As long as the suddenly-repaired walls won't attract too much attention.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:30 PM

true

in that case, though, it being more of a patch job works well for us, though

Gold Experience BOT 30-Mar-21 10:31 PM

And the unnatural-looking seams and too-fast repair speed won't work well.

Limina Idling | Hours 30-Mar-21 10:32 PM
