and could break through a second time to become God

Awake 10-Feb-21 05:25 PM

Tinker without the shard bs

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:25 PM

and a side of potential divinity

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:27 PM

We were able to kill maybe 3/4 of them in total, and I think we've driven them off.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:27 PM

i dont think theyll be coming back soon

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:27 PM

...Now I have to pick up all the shattered Eiffel Tower models from off the ground. Gdi.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:27 PM

youve traumatized the survivors with the eiffel tower

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:28 PM

I mean, have you seen some of the models? The biggest ones are as long as my arm.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:28 PM

the horror

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:28 PM

And they're made of metal and heavy plastic.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:28 PM

oh my god

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:28 PM

I'm still trying to justify how the fuck this even worked to myself.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:29 PM

im sure they are too

all of them

even the pirahnas

Awake 10-Feb-21 05:29 PM

Especially the capes

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:29 PM

Speaking of 'all of them', there's an odd lack of piranha guts on the ground.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:29 PM

magic pirahnas

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:29 PM

Like, there's no corpses at all.

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

just more fuckin constructs

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:30 PM

God dammit. Fucking magic piranhas.

Velocity think that they're projections.

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

yeah thats fair

maybe your power's similar to whoever the hell did that

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:31 PM

Yeah, maybe.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:31 PM

im sure they might think that too, or suspect you had a hand in this somehow

you might have to delve into the more mechanical aspects of your power if so

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:32 PM

Yeah, they do seem a little weirded out by how well dropping shit on the fish did.

They're not pressing the issue or anything, though.

Which, thank god.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:33 PM

heres hoping thats the loyalty effect

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:33 PM

Yeah.

I do feel kinda bad to be essentially mastering them.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:34 PM

to be fair, you originally intended just the nazi

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:34 PM

Point.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:35 PM

and this might get the nazi-ism out of her head, in some small way

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:35 PM

God, I hope so.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:35 PM

agreed

hard agree

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:35 PM

Well, anyway, looks like it's time to do something useful now.

Do we try to scavenge? Look for Bear? Map out the island?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:36 PM

mapping the place out will give you an advantage in doing any of the other two, though a little light scavving along the way is bound to help

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:36 PM

Sounds good to me.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:36 PM

velocity's probably already mapped out a good chunk of the place

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:37 PM

I think he'd mostly been looking for other people.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:37 PM

makes sense

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:38 PM

Well, I have some drawing software in my head, so I can use that to draw a map, at least.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:38 PM

sick

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:39 PM

Seems like we're planning to split up for the search.

Awake 10-Feb-21 05:39 PM

Nice

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:39 PM

I'll say if anything interesting happens.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:39 PM

ok

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:41 PM

Oh, I found a stash of supplies.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:41 PM

fuck yea

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:41 PM

Food, clothes, camping supplies...

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:42 PM

ooh, helpful

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:42 PM

I'll go find Fenja to help tote it all back.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:42 PM

it a big stash then?

Awake 10-Feb-21 05:42 PM

That's good to have at least

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:42 PM

cause if so fuck yea

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:42 PM

It's maybe a month's worth of food for one person.

Awake 10-Feb-21 05:42 PM

Nice

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:42 PM

Nice

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:43 PM

bonus food

fuck yea

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:43 PM

The camping supplies are pretty high quality, too.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:43 PM

ooh, lucky haul

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:43 PM

And it's nice to have clothes that aren't just merch t-shirts.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:43 PM

^^^

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:43 PM

Hell yes

Cotton?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:43 PM

...if theres any eiffel tower underwear i s2g

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:45 PM

There was some lingerie there, but mostly women's stuff.

But there's actual boxers here, thank god.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:45 PM

well, fenja's gonna be happy

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:45 PM

Yeah. At least the nazi will be happy, ig.

Maybe the gift of sexy underwear will win her over to the side of good?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:46 PM

a happy nazi is a less murderous nutcase nazi

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:46 PM

True.

Everyone's back at the tower now.

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:47 PM

Great

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:47 PM

Velocity was able to find a whole bunch of spare materials.

Bits of iron and working electronics and stuff.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:48 PM

oh heck yea

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:48 PM

That’s good

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:48 PM

Damn, days really do go by faster here. It's already the afternoon.

Awake 10-Feb-21 05:48 PM

Thatll come in handy

Ah damn

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:49 PM

What?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:49 PM

your stamina levels adjusted to match with the faster days?

or. circadian rhythm or w/e

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:50 PM

I'm tired from the sun waking me up early, so I think I'm still on a 24 hour cycle. That's going to be fun to adapt to. I guess we can spend time consolidating our maps.

On Eiffel Tower-branded notepad paper, of course.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:51 PM

pfft

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:52 PM

We were able to map out the entire coastline of the island. Well, Velocity was.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:52 PM

cant say im too shocked

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:52 PM

How does it look like?

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:52 PM

Perks of being a speedster, I guess.

It's a pretty big island. Maybe the size of a city, all in all.

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:52 PM

And ex military, mapping is important for that profession

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:52 PM

Though not all of the island is covered in city.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:53 PM

^^^ he also did want to travel a lot

what parts are cityless?

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:53 PM

The city section seems to be in the middle of the island, taking up maybe a 30th or so of it?

We have most of the city area mapped out - we've been working from the outside in.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:54 PM

bear might be more in the middle, then

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:54 PM

I guess so.

Or out in the wilderness.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:55 PM

large buildings to obfuscate the tower and all that

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:55 PM

Yeah.

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:55 PM

Mhm

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:55 PM

Speaking of seeing big things from a distance, there was a huge plume of smoke way off the shore.

Like, a constant plume of smoke.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:55 PM

concerning

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

Thats someone camp

Awake 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

Or a big fire

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

Or a fire

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

as in, inland or on another island

Awake 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

Could be trying to signal planes or something

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

Another island.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

might be lung, might be volcano, might be forest fire, who knows

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

If it's from a fire, it would be a damn big fire.

It could be the volcano, yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:56 PM

you may be able to get a better view with some gift shop binoculars and a higher vantage point on the tower

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:57 PM

Oh, good idea! I might move the tower to the coast for that so there's no buildings in the way.

Man. It's crazy that we can just pack up and move the Eiffel Tower.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:58 PM

just make sure to let fenja and velocity know you wanna do that before you do it

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:58 PM

Yeah, they're on board.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:58 PM

dont wanna collapse it and suddenly they fall from like 70 feet in the air

William BOT 10-Feb-21 05:58 PM

I'm not about to risk that, don't worry.

It looks like the tower doesn't reset when I pull it down, which is both a blessing and a curse.

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 05:59 PM

Oh neat

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 05:59 PM

yeouch

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:00 PM

At least we can store stuff in there.

Awake 10-Feb-21 06:00 PM

RIP all that dropped merch

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:00 PM

Yeah.

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 06:01 PM

I'm sure h'll get a 3d printer or something eventually Then we can have all the merch we want

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:01 PM

Pfft, probably.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:01 PM

the workers can fix it

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:01 PM

I kinda just put all the broken merch back in the gift shop.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:02 PM

fair

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:02 PM

I really hope this tower is just a copy.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:02 PM

i mean, im concerned about earth mannequin if not

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:02 PM

Good point.

There's some binoculars mounted on the sides of the tower, so I can use those to see the smoke.

In the direction of the smoke, there's a cluster of smaller islands, then the volcano itself.

So yeah, the smoke is from the volcano.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:04 PM

that shits gonna erupt soon then

yallre boned

Awake 10-Feb-21 06:05 PM

Inb4 behemoth peeks his head out of volcano

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 06:07 PM

What kind of volcano is it

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:28 PM

Tall and thin, with a glowing top.

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

ominous

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:29 PM

God yeah.

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 06:29 PM

Aww I was hoping for a shield volcano or something

Tall and thin ones go boom

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:30 PM

Fuck.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:30 PM

yknow. i cant help but feel like this is a deathtrap waiting to happen

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:30 PM

Sounds about right.

Well, not much we can do about it now.

Awake 10-Feb-21 06:31 PM

If thay volcano goes off you're screwed

Maybe anyway

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:31 PM

on the plus side, you've got jumper protections against permadeath

theoretically at least

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:31 PM

At least there's that.

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 06:32 PM

But does Velocity? (edited)

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:32 PM

That's the problem.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:32 PM

...could try to make a companion slot tomorrow, maybe? how much are worm companions

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:33 PM

I have no idea how to get a companion crystal, I've just been getting basic crystals automatically.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:34 PM

maybe you make it

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:34 PM

Could be.

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 06:34 PM

How did you combine the crystals before

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:34 PM

I just touched them together and they merged after a second.

So I probably shouldn't store crystals in the same container, or else they might merge by accident.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:35 PM

...honestly, may as well

big crystal for use would be nice

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:36 PM

Point.

Anyway, we have some time before sunset, so we were thinking of grabbing a DVD from the DVD rack and putting on a show or a movie or something.

Velocity's picking, since he actually knows French.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:38 PM

that works

if it sucks you can just pick another one

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:39 PM

I saw the Titanic TV show there earlier, is Titanic a TV show in your world?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:40 PM

its a movie and a bad one

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 06:40 PM

no

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:40 PM

So it's probably movies and TV shows from my world, then.

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 06:40 PM

how tf do you stretch that out into a whole TV show

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:40 PM

a titanic tv show tho... how the fuck would that even work

like an expo on the history of the titanic or smth

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:40 PM

I haven't actually watched it, so I wouldn't know.

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 06:41 PM

the boat went out and the boat died it's like ten minutes

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:41 PM

lol

same episode repeated 40 times

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:41 PM

I think it's, like, a bunch of little stories or something? Each lasting a few episodes?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:42 PM

that makes sense

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:42 PM

Like what happened to the captain, the high class passengers, the lobsters in the kitchen etc.

Awake 10-Feb-21 06:42 PM

The lobsters in the kitchen

Did they actually

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:43 PM

Bear in mind, 60% of my Titanic knowledge is from an ex-girlfriend. I think they did. There were a bunch of memes about it.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:43 PM

oh my god

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:43 PM

And a photo of a kids book about the speed at which lobsters die?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:43 PM

yeah, but the animation quality is really good

idk how it is for yall

but like this is whole ass modern features and all that

William BOT 10-Feb-21 06:59 PM

The anime started a few years after the manga on my end.

So it's only ever a few arcs behind the manga.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 06:59 PM

oh yea that one doesnt really capture the jojo style i think. we had something in like the 90s for jojo and it just Sucked

tried to make it look like a traditional anime

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:00 PM

Yeah, the anime before Part 6 kinda sucks on our end.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:00 PM

bean

jojo's bizarre adventure out of context

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:00 PM

It's packed end-to-end with filler, and the animation isn't great.

But Part 6 really stepped it up.

ANYWAY. Worm.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:01 PM

you doin the anime thinking glance thing?

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:01 PM

Yep.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:01 PM

what is available that is better than worm

...actually

velocity mightve seen the back of it, seen the cast list

that might be why he picked it out

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:02 PM

super reading speed lol

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:02 PM

...fuck, just gotta bite the bullet on this one

its the one non-sus move i can think of

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:02 PM

I mean, he's already seen the front cover, which has the Endbringers on it.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:02 PM

well yeah but cape movies exist

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:03 PM

With Endbringers plastered all over the front?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:03 PM

'mary sue hero kills endbringer'

'instant blockbuster'

youd be surprised how popular that is in our world

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:03 PM

Point.

He's already looking at the back of the box, though, so I'm not sure what I can do there.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:04 PM

yeh youre fucked

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:04 PM

good luck

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:04 PM

bite the bullet and just go for it if he's still down for that

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:05 PM

"Which DVD did you pick?"

Velocity BOT 10-Feb-21 07:05 PM

"I..."

"It's a TV show about capes. Worm."

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:05 PM

Suddenly existential panic

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:05 PM

he may think a thinker made it

or directed

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:06 PM

"Is that what we're watching?"

Velocity BOT 10-Feb-21 07:06 PM

"..."

"Yes. It seems..."

"Interesting."

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:07 PM

Ominous.

Velocity BOT 10-Feb-21 07:07 PM

"!"

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:07 PM

He saw his name RIP

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:07 PM

yep

and now he's having the same 'shit itd be sus if i back out now' moment

Velocity BOT 10-Feb-21 07:08 PM

"...Will, what did you say your full name was again?"

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:08 PM

"William Smith."

Velocity BOT 10-Feb-21 07:08 PM

"And you said you were an actor, yes?"

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:09 PM

may wanna own up to being in worm as one of the actors, starting out with 'i played scion' works

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:09 PM

"I kinda try to keep that fact on the down-low, usually, but yeah."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:09 PM

because like hell theyll think youre scion

Velocity BOT 10-Feb-21 07:09 PM

"Your name is on the cast list."

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:10 PM

That's certainly an accusing stare.

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:10 PM

"Oh, Will's in that one? Now we have to watch it."

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:10 PM

You know we were thinking that costume was proof of not cape/cape, back in the beginning but what if that was just because Manton has no costume and is a van hobo

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:10 PM

will also played scion tho

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:11 PM

And I didn't have the Dr Manton makeup on.

Or the fake tats.

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:11 PM

I guess.

Well. Time to get back to the mounting disaster.

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:11 PM

Yeah.

This is a mess.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:12 PM

if nothing else, the fact you havent mentioned identities should at least tell them you're trying to take identities seriously

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:12 PM

At least there's that.

"I'm not really sure if I wanna watch something that I'm in."

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:13 PM

"C'mon, it'll be fun!"

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:13 PM

hopefully velocity gets the memo and yall can outvote her

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

I think the last ditch attempt has failed

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

Pull a Keanu Reeves, "I never watch my own movies"

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

he can use the endbringers on the cover as an excuse, 'itd be depressing'

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

She's coming over fuck

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

ah fuck

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

I think she's going to watch it even if you don't

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

yeah that aint good

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

Rip

Quickly destroy every tv

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

well, you're fucked

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:14 PM

"'Worm'? What's that?"

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:15 PM

"It's, uh, a TV show based on a story some kids made up."

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:15 PM

"Oh, that sounds cute. Let me guess, the characters kill all the endbringers and save the day at the end?"

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:15 PM

Um.

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:15 PM

lol

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:16 PM

'maybe it'd be better to call them 'edgy teens' rather than kids'

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:16 PM

"It looks like it's even set in Brockton Bay, too. Well, we can't not watch this, now."

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:16 PM

It's too late for you William

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:16 PM

"Well, by 'kids' I mean 'edgy teens'..."

Nope, she just snatched the DVD.

We're doomed.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:17 PM

yeah

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:17 PM

Their actual names arent in an intro sequence or anything right? Or is it just credits?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:17 PM

fuck

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:17 PM

Might wanna bite the bullet and explain the situation more, also an option

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:17 PM

Just the credits, mostly, but some real names are used in the show-proper.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:17 PM

shit

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:17 PM

Rather than the "what the fuck" moment

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:18 PM

actually, sunbro's got the right idea - 'ill have some things to explain after we see this, if yall wanna watch it' works

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:18 PM

"Hey, random question, what's your favourite movie?"

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:18 PM

"The Titanic, why?"

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:18 PM

Gdi

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:18 PM

fuck

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:19 PM

Well boy does he have the Aleph tv show for you dhdhch

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:19 PM

why is that so bad

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:19 PM

"What would you do if you woke up and you were in the Titanic movie?"

Not much, she just reminds me of an ex a bit. She liked The Titanic too.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:20 PM

titanic is long dull and you know how it ends

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:20 PM

"I'd probably use my power to break the iceberg."

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:20 PM

"What about the characters in it? Would you tell them about the movie The Titanic?"

Fenja BOT 10-Feb-21 07:21 PM

"Probably not. Why?"

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:21 PM

"Uh, no reason, I'm just curious."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:21 PM

at least they know your position on all this now

Velocity BOT 10-Feb-21 07:22 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:22 PM

...yknow, come to think of it, your demonstrated powers do kind of line up with trigger theory shaker - environmental stressor trump - caused by powers master - and interactions with people

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:23 PM

Yeah, I noticed that too.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:23 PM

wonder if either of them are read up about all that

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:23 PM

If they are, at least I have a cover story for my powers.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:24 PM

yup

randomhuman44 10-Feb-21 07:24 PM

That's good Still no cover story for Worm tho lol

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:24 PM

alternate universe, maybe a thinker made it

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:25 PM

Ugh, the bullying bit at the start of the first episode. I really don't like watching it.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:26 PM

...come to think of it, given you know a lot of real names and they happen to match up to real names of people back home, it would make sense if a thinker lined things up yeah, the first bit is pretty uncomfortable (edited)

how many episodes was this?

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:27 PM

All of them. It's the collector's edition.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:27 PM

hoo boy

does it include ward

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:27 PM

Yep.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:27 PM

hell

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:27 PM

It doesn't.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:27 PM

oh, relieving

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:27 PM

Yep to the 'hoo boy', no to Ward.

The campaign for that finished up a year or so ago, and I think they're working on the show now.

It mentioned the E88, and Fenja seems kinda tense.

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

cant say im shocked

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:29 PM

She never did admit to being a villain to me.

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

yeah, this is a very cold reveal that you knew the whole ass time

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:30 PM

Gonna be a real awkward talk

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:30 PM

It all is.

Fuck the Leviathan fight

Lucky_Plucky21 10-Feb-21 07:30 PM

Ye

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:30 PM

Oh shit when you get there

Oof

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:31 PM

Well, the sun will probably set by then, so we should be safe.

For now.

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:32 PM

Hopefully

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:32 PM

Oh hell the E88 outing arc

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:32 PM

Oh hell

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:34 PM

that was right before leviathan

you should have time before that

you know from the show that capes take secret identities seriously, which is part of why you didnt want to say anything

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:46 PM

Yeah. At least I have that excuse.

We ended up stopping after the first Bakuda fight.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:46 PM

probably for the best

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:47 PM

We're, uh, all sleeping in different rooms tonight.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:47 PM

yeah, thats fair

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:47 PM

I mean, I like he privacy, but...

Yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:47 PM

bodes poorly for the future

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:48 PM

Yep. Well, that something for tomorrow's me to deal with.

Good night for the next few minutes, I guess.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:48 PM

heres hoping they all come up with the idea to burn the dvds

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:50 PM

Good morning, and if they don't propose it, then I will.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:50 PM

fair enough

welcome to wakefulness, i hope unconsciousness felt good

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:50 PM

Got another crystal. Do I use it now?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:50 PM

store it

just. keep it on you

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:50 PM

Storing it seems smart

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:50 PM

Sleep was good. I'll keep it for now.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:50 PM

maybe put it in a random mannequin's pocket

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:53 PM

That's an idea.

I need to break it to use it, so even if someone finds it, they could just keep it or something.

Hope the chef likes its new gift.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:54 PM

huh. wouldve figured youd have gone with one of the waiters

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:55 PM

Nah, the chefs interact with us less.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:55 PM

fair

Awake 10-Feb-21 07:56 PM

Even if someone finds it, hopefully they dont realize to break it, if they even can use it

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:56 PM

i was mostly considering it from 'totally random'

less likely to find it where people will assume it wouldnt be hidden

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:58 PM

Good point.

Well, I think the others have both elected to ignore the situation for now.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:58 PM

fair

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:58 PM

I can live with that.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:59 PM

they probably have a lot of complex feelings tied up with that

William BOT 10-Feb-21 07:59 PM

I mean, same.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 07:59 PM

id imagine theyre just tryin to get those untangled

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:00 PM

I just hope our alliance doesn't implode on us.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:00 PM

heres hoping

itd be a stupid thing for it to implode over

velocity's probably figured out you're from an alternate earth and really dont wanna discuss the situation around that due to recent trigger, especially since you seem to have been on a movie about their lives fenja might realize that you went out on a limb and decided to trust her despite the whole villain thing

and also that being why you didnt reciprocate to the flirtng

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:03 PM

Here's hopin'

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:03 PM

all i got are theories at this stage, until they clear the air idk what theyre thinkin

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:04 PM

Yeah.

Well, we're going out to do some more mapping.

I can only hope today doesn't have the excitement of the last two days.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:05 PM

god i hope so

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:06 PM

Haven't found anything interesting in the city area yet.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:06 PM

well, thats good to hear

boring is good

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:07 PM

God yeah.

Oh, I see movement in the distance. I guess it's one of the other two.

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:16 PM

Sounds about right.

at the same time, he can probably already tell what the truth is from your pulse

fucking thinker rating

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:16 PM

Dammit why did I leave the crystal at home

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:17 PM

a single 100 cp perk isnt liable to help in a situation like this

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:17 PM

I mean, it could.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:17 PM

maybe

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:17 PM

dont lie

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:18 PM

"Two others. Velocity and Menja."

"Both capes."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:19 PM

you might be able to hold him over a barrel by controlling the only food source on the island, and being able to revoke it potentially

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:19 PM

And, what, risk him holding me prisoner somewhere?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:19 PM

he does that, he doesn't eat

he specifically can't hold a gun to your head for that particular reason

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:20 PM

He does that and he just raids the farm whenever he needs food.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:20 PM

unless it's connected to the tower

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:21 PM

I can't pack that up like I can the tower.

It's stuck in place.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:21 PM

summon the tower on top of the field, it might hybridize the two

theyre both fiat-delivered things after all

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:21 PM

The farm was summoned beneath the tower in the first place, and that didn't do it.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:22 PM

well, if your fiat-senses are absolutely sure thats not how that works, then i guess you're just fucked regardless and cant do anything about it

either that or you have to gamble on not getting feces from the crystal

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:23 PM

Eeyup.

you need to get off that island yesterday

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:26 PM

Fuck yes I am.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:26 PM

hes gonna probably try to track you

not sure if his thinker abilities scale with escalation

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:27 PM

I'll take a roundabout route.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:27 PM

probably for the best

you can keep mapping while youre at it

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:27 PM

See if I can't meet up with one of the others. Good idea.

Awake 10-Feb-21 08:27 PM

Oof you met Lung?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:27 PM

thankfully, you know what direction maybe browbeat's island is in

Awake 10-Feb-21 08:27 PM

So I guess he was the other dude then

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:28 PM

Yeah, Bear was Lung.

Can't wait to get a boat or something.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:28 PM

at this point maybe slightly cursed plains sounds way better than lung and fucking pirahnas

...FUCKING PIRAHNAS TRAPPED YOU, THOSE BASTARDS

Awake 10-Feb-21 08:29 PM

Oh wait, theres always the Simurgh call if he keeps following

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:29 PM

Does he even know what it sounds like?

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

briefly blaring that for a couple seconds could work there's probably statements online about it

morbid curiosity can drive people to look up all sorts of things

and he seems like the sort thatd want to be prepared for an endbringer

he fought one, after all

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:30 PM

Well, I have no idea if he's following me or not. If he is, he's a stealthier than I expected.

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

hes ex yakuza so

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:30 PM

Point.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:31 PM

do not underestimate him

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:31 PM

Got it.

Well, I'm back at the tower.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:32 PM

i get the feeling something bad's abt to happen

stay alert, use the crystal immediately

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:32 PM

Got it. I'll grab it.

System BOT 10-Feb-21 08:34 PM

Interpersonal Skills, Companionship, Supplements.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:34 PM

can we get some explanation on companionship and supplements?

System BOT 10-Feb-21 08:35 PM

Companionship is Companions. Supplements is perks from Supplements.

Awake 10-Feb-21 08:35 PM

Companions? Hmm

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:36 PM

i know of at least one companion choice that's free and would master lung into obeying you basically

honestly its a toss up here

supplements is pretty vague though, given theres a very broad array of supplements out there, from outright cheats to niche as hell shit

like the kingdom hearts nobody form supplement

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:38 PM

Isn't there a Fate supplement out there?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:38 PM

i doubt you could afford the perks on that

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:38 PM

Point.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:38 PM

conceptual shonen bullshit it is

There are some that give you points in the supplement but true

Companions seems good, someone who more likely has your back

So, between these, which is more likely to save my ass?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:39 PM

honestly interpersonal skills given it can synergize with the tower but you're still probably fucked, the thing i know that masters companion is pretty obscure

while im sure theres other options like that, i dont know if its in the price range of 0-100

swear to christ the one fucking time you dont immediately use something like this and it bites you in the ass

we need to just always use them immediately no matter what, no stockpiling bullshit, nothing like that

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:40 PM

I mean, there's a whole lot of 'canon companion' options for 100CP, right?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:41 PM

nothing that forcibly subdues them/binds them to your will like would be necessary with lung

...well there may be stuff like that but thats a long shot

it wouldnt work out

interpersonal skills seems like it wouldnt be gambling nearly as much

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:42 PM

I could end up getting someone strong enough to just keep Lung away, maybe?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:43 PM

if you're dead set on that then go for it, but i think its a bad idea

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:43 PM

No, I'll listen to you on this one. IS, then?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:44 PM

yeah, if nothing else it may let you social fu him and velocity and fenja

enough social and charisma perks stacked on top of each other and problems start solving themselves for you

it may also affect their shards, make you unlikely to get killed by them so they can get more handy dandy weird data from you

Awake 10-Feb-21 08:45 PM

True

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:45 PM

...shit. that explains a few things

fenja hitting on you, the fighting over you

you might've already instilled loyalty to you from their shards - they might not have any strong will of their own

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:46 PM

Oh hell.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:47 PM

thats a good thing

Awake 10-Feb-21 08:47 PM

Shards can mess with capes for shre

Sure*

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:47 PM

that means you arent as likely to get killed by them, if true

and if lung followed you home, hes probably gonna be against killing you for that reason

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:50 PM

RIP 3

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:50 PM

backstab, resist control, interpersonal skills...

seems like irons in the fire from homestuck or something, provides mind control resistance and makes you better at backstabbing

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:51 PM

On the other hand, something that endears me to people would be super useful.

Awake 10-Feb-21 08:51 PM

Backstab seems like a choice that could backfire if it's something like convince a minion to betray their leader

I agree with that

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:51 PM

2 seems best

Awake 10-Feb-21 08:51 PM

2 seems very useful

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:51 PM

Not sure backstabbing is something I need.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 08:51 PM

oh yeah hard agree there

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:52 PM

2 it is.

System BOT 10-Feb-21 08:54 PM

Perk 1: Irons in the Fire (SBURB ) (100CP) While Trolls generally become more violent by nature as they get higher on the Hemospectrum, you find yourself with a true talent for it. Able to harness and use your violence, instead of being driven by it. With this comes an aptitude for the plots of the Highbloods, wherein plans are forged, accomplices are brought into cahoots, and everyone double crosses everyone else. You know the perfect opportunities to get further by backstabbery, and can anticipate when others will do the same to you. Isn't it funny when those chumps try to get all tactical and underhanded? Of course, if they could simply read your mind of control you with their psychic powers, this would all be for naught. Luckily, your higher blood status also means you are far more resistant to such psychic fooling around, no one is going to make a puppet out of you. Perk 3: Integrity (Undertale) (100CP) When people see you, they can tell right away, "This is the genuine article". You've got a strong sense of self, and you'd never sell out or follow trends. Why would you? You're a star, after all! So long as you stay true to yourself and who you are, you have an infectious charisma that makes people want to like you- Even if who you are is blatantly malevolent, though in that case it might be a more "Love to Hate" kind of deal.

William BOT 10-Feb-21 08:55 PM

well that goes without saying

oh, so you get freebies

those arent just things you have to randomly roll

wow, literally anything else wouldve been better than this.

im sorry

System BOT 10-Feb-21 09:02 PM

Scenario rewards are counted as freebies. Only one freebie may be taken per perk, unless the number of freebies outweigh the number of perks from that jump.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 09:02 PM

...oh holy shit

that might keep you alive, then

maybe

System BOT 10-Feb-21 09:03 PM

Note: Due to other perks in The Divine Wilds, not all of the scenario reward in question could be given.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 09:04 PM

aaand its one i dont know about

William BOT 10-Feb-21 09:04 PM

So, what, I would've gotten more girls?

The person who came with the perk looks like a normal schoolgirl to me.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 09:05 PM

so probably magical girl bullshit

the only way i can see this tangibly helping is if she's either able to do mind control or happens to be a reality warper and i cant find divine wilds if its a jumpchain source thing, so she may not be from anything called that

reality warping is on the table due to being a scenario reward and those being op

Cute [1 Cupcake] - There’s no shame in liking things that are cute, right? And there’s no shame in liking you, either. You’re quite adorable and endearing to those around you, and you know how to mix feigned (or actual) immaturity and vulnerability in a way that makes others friendlier to you. Hm? Oh, sorry...that sounded a little off, didn’t it? Well, don’t worry about it.

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

monika's also from this, from what was implied earlier: Save The Club: ...but maybe, just maybe, you feel more empathy than you do annoyance at this scenario. Are these girls really so fake if someone like Monika could become self-aware among them? Are her friends really just numbers and code, CGs and imagination? If you’re willing to suffer through the time loops, you can spend time in the club and get closer to the girls, whether romantically or platonically. Each of them suffer from some sort of damage - Sayori is depressed, Yuri is clingy and obsessive when emotionally provoked, Natsuki suffers from parental abuse at home, and Monika will happily exploit or amplify these inner demons just to make the girls look unappealing as love interests and companions. If you can help them work through these and come out as better people, using what you learn and what you can accomplish during each ‘loop’, the club will come together and reconcile with both you and their true natures. For this, you may take the entire Literature Club as companions for free, including Monika herself, which may be essential to writing in this miraculous change to begin with. The truth, indeed, will set them free.

shes part of a whole reward

William BOT 10-Feb-21 09:12 PM

Huh. Weird. Wonder why I just got Monika, then?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 09:13 PM

she was ridiculously overpriced for the gauntlet, so probably got locked to reward-only or something (edited)

so she might be a reality warper, but given she was just talking about being real she almost certainly is not one

William BOT 10-Feb-21 09:15 PM

i saw something about perk slots that kind of went over my head a while back

You automatically start with Two Freebie Slots, One 100 CP Slot, and One 200 CP Slot.

thats the bugger

True

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 09:40 PM

well. not in the 'giant flaming rage dragon' sense

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:13 PM

okay, awesome

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:14 PM

I still don't know what any of the values do, though.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:14 PM

might be able to test with the farmers, but its risky...

worst case, you can tabula rasa him in regards to will and we start from scratch (edited)

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:15 PM

Maybe Will could try and interact with him in different ways, and see what triggers what?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:15 PM

thats an option

Pika 10-Feb-21 10:16 PM

(I'm listening to the DDLC OST and Sayo-Nara just came on. Seems like bad luck to happen right as she says that.)

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:16 PM

(fucking.)

(will dies soon, i can feel it)

Pika 10-Feb-21 10:16 PM

(Lol)

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:17 PM

I guess I could try that?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:17 PM

...wait. monika, you got access to save/load features?

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:18 PM

Nope. If they are there, they're out of my reach.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:18 PM

dang

anyone named 'thomas calvert' out there?

Awake 10-Feb-21 10:18 PM

Even then, if that's not fiat backed, it runs a risk

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:18 PM

"Do you want some food? My power made some pretty good chefs to go with the tower."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:19 PM

oh dear lord i just realized. lungs gonna burn the worm dvds for us

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:19 PM

The Kenta.chr file was isolated from anything else. I think other .chr files will be like that too.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:20 PM

thats gonna slow things down some, but at least you know the file location

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:20 PM

Yeah...

William truly is an Excellent Host.

"It's a date, then."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:24 PM

and suddenly, that elevator trip felt incredibly awkward

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:24 PM

Homestuck? That sounds interesting, maybe I'll check it out.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:24 PM

it is. insane, thats a word that applies

Ahaha, I can do that.

I guess I'm already kinda used to it...

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:27 PM

well, on the bright side, you'll definitely be getting attention too, williams a hugger

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:27 PM

Free hugs any time you need 'em.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:27 PM

he even does the ever-so-scandalous hand holding if you ask nicely

lol

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:27 PM

I think I might take him up on that!

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:28 PM

valid

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:28 PM

Uh I mean, sure.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:28 PM

honestly all things considered you probably could use the infinite hugs

have some e-hugs

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:29 PM

Thank you!

"Well, here's the restaurant. It's a buffet, so you can take what you like, of course."

Lung BOT 10-Feb-21 10:30 PM

"Of course."

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:31 PM

Damn. He's really loading his plate.

I guess he must've been hungry.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:31 PM

given he's probably been running off regen for two days [however long they are here] i can imagine

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:32 PM

Yeah. Point.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:32 PM

well. maybe not two whole days but scavving cant have been easy

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:33 PM

Either way.

I kinda feel bad for him now.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:34 PM

considering some of the things his gang's done in brockton bay, i do not

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:34 PM

"If you ever run out of food, please feel free to come back."

Point...

Lung BOT 10-Feb-21 10:35 PM

"You'd want me to come back?"

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:35 PM

"Well, I don't want you to starve."

Lung BOT 10-Feb-21 10:36 PM

"You're an endearing little thing, aren't you?"

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:36 PM

already, that perk is coming in handy

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:37 PM

Seems like it, thank god.

The waiters provided us with candles

This is now a candlelit meal

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:39 PM

that is incredibly uncomfortable even from here, and im on another friggin planet

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:39 PM

Oh, one of them handed me a slip of paper.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:40 PM

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:40 PM

...It was apparently a special request from Fenja.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:40 PM

i.

fenja set you up on a date with lung.

accidentally.

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:40 PM

I guess she wasn't specific enough in her request? But yeah, that's what's happening.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:41 PM

there are layers of hilarity that are genuinely starting to fight my concern there

Lung BOT 10-Feb-21 10:42 PM

"Your power's waitstaff are certainly... prepared."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:42 PM

its a surprise for everyone

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:43 PM

"Sorry about this. I think Fenja's trying to seduce me into the E88 or something, so she asked the staff to set out candles next time I dined in here."

"It's, uh..."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:44 PM

exactly as uncomfortable as it sounds

Lung BOT 10-Feb-21 10:45 PM

"Well, perhaps, if the mood is set..."

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:45 PM

oh my god.

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:45 PM

UM.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:45 PM

uh.

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:45 PM

I'm getting the same reaction the farmers gave him.

I think he's just trying to get a reaction out of you, because it amuses him.

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:46 PM

"o//////o"

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:46 PM

well its working

he blushed so loud we could hear it

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:46 PM

I really do feel jealous, now.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:47 PM

mostly im just concerned for william's health and sanity towards the end of this

if lung decided to push things, will's not in a position he can say 'no' in

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:48 PM

I think he's just exerting dominance or something.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:48 PM

possibly

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:48 PM

In a completely platonic way!

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:48 PM

god i hope so

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:48 PM

He does look smug.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:49 PM

im just gonna have faith in the local mind reader

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:50 PM

Damn, he can eat like a champ.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:50 PM

still not surprised

hes a big guy

hes probably used to eating plenty

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:51 PM

When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large...

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:52 PM

Thanks.

Welp. He found the alcohol.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:53 PM

oh no

...starting to think the molotov idea wouldve been a good one

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:53 PM

If just to get rid of the stuff.

He poured me a glass, what do I do

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:54 PM

drink

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:54 PM

I? Okay?

*Cough, cough*

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:55 PM

...hey actually

Lung BOT 10-Feb-21 10:55 PM

"Heh. You're not a drinker, are you?"

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:55 PM

What's up?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:56 PM

if we back up drunk kenta we can figure out what makes him drunk later vs when hes clear headed

instant hammered dragon once monika's learned all that (edited)

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:56 PM

Oh, I can try to do that.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:56 PM

heres hoping his power isn't cancelling the alcohol out

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 10:57 PM

You'll need to keep him drinking, though.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:57 PM

currently doesnt seem like an issue, but that may change

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:58 PM

He poured us both glasses and looked at me expectantly.

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 10:58 PM

welp. hes turning this into an opportunity to flex

id say go for it until you cant

humoring him as much as you can is the key to keeping things running smooth thus far

William BOT 10-Feb-21 10:59 PM

Fuck. Right.

Bottoms up.

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 11:00 PM

Okay, I think I got a few of the values.

I'd need to tweak them all up manually, though.

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

glorious progress! i dont suppose itd be as simple as slapping a few dozen zeroes in there, though

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 11:01 PM

I mean, I could try that.

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

well, he's lung, he's got regen, he's probably the best person to test on to avoid alcohol poisoning

best to wait until he brings out something new tho

'damg thats a strong kick' and all that

Monika BOT 10-Feb-21 11:02 PM

They're going down slowly. I might put them up higher than normal when he has his next glass.

William BOT 10-Feb-21 11:03 PM

Alcohol tastes awful, and it burns going down. Why does anyone drink it?

Limina Idling | Hours 10-Feb-21 11:03 PM

because your brain feels funny after
