System BOT 13-Feb-21 01:48 AM

Perk 1: Curveball (The Reckoners) (200CP) Any weapon you use has infinite ammo and never jams ormisfires.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:49 AM

William BOT 13-Feb-21 01:50 AM

I feel you.

System, can you tell us what the fourth perk would've been?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:51 AM

William BOT 13-Feb-21 01:51 AM

"I got a power that lets me fuse any other powers I have together. It's called Synthesis."

Browbeat BOT 13-Feb-21 12:05 PM

"I see."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:08 PM

time to see if it can come with freebies

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 12:08 PM

How do fused perks work in regards to slots?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:08 PM

class system and underdog are both free to humans

hell, class system is mandatory

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:09 PM

Sy-

Fused perks count as the combined cost of both perks.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 12:10 PM

Makes sense

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:10 PM

Sy-

Alternatively, you may choose to unfuse perks before the slotting stage begins.

(PK is offline ig)

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 12:10 PM

(pk why!?)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:10 PM

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:12 PM

System:

Choose a basic class to gain 10 levels in.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:13 PM

can we get a list of classes?

or is this pretty freeform?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:14 PM

Sy-

It is moderately freeform, but there is a list at https://re-monster.fandom.com/wiki/Jobs_System

Sy-

Note that only basic classes can be taken.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:15 PM

is protagonist an option as far as class goes?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:16 PM

Sy-

No. Protagonist is a seperate 400CP perk.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:16 PM

dang

champion or captain seem like good options

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:18 PM

Sy-

Champion and Captain are both advanced classes and cannot be taken by this perk.

W-Is there a more basic version of Captain?

Sy-

Captain can be gained by any combat class. No further details may be given.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:21 PM

strategist, then?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:22 PM

Sy-

Strategist is not a basic class. It may be gained by any combat class.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:22 PM

guardian?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:23 PM

Sy-

Guardian is an advanced class.

W-Dammit, why are so many of these advanced classes?

W-Can you tell us which ones are the basic ones, then?

Sy-

Classes that are either simple or general are basic classes.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:24 PM

simple or general

protector

wait no

hacker

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:25 PM

Sy-

Classes that are advanced versions of basic classes, are specialised versions of basic classes, or are given as blessings by the gods are advanced classes.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:25 PM

you can get in on monika's gimmick lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:26 PM

Sy-

Basic class: Computer Scientist?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:26 PM

dang it

nvm that

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:26 PM

W-Why not just give her a class, then?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:26 PM

oh point, yea

hm... soldier might give you combat experience, which could be handy

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:27 PM

Sy-

Soldier is a basic class.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:27 PM

that appeal to you, will?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:28 PM

W-On one hand, I like the idea of being able to protect myself. On the other hand, it doesn't really fit in with the sorts of powers I'll probably be getting.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:28 PM

is 'combat engineer' a basic class?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:29 PM

Sy-

No. Scientist and Engineer are basic classes.

Mo-Maybe you could come at this from another direction.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:29 PM

hm... patron?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:30 PM

Mo-What would the group need?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:30 PM

leader?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:30 PM

Sy-

Patron and Leader are advanced classes.

W-Dammit, is everything an advanced class?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:30 PM

so much for freeform

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:31 PM

W-I could settle for Engineer or Item Creator or something and try to spec into something else from there.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:31 PM

enchanter?

then you really would be a dauntless knockoff lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:31 PM

Sy-

Enchanter is an advanced class. Item Creator is a basic class.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:32 PM

engineer seems like itd work best, since that could cover archtecture

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:32 PM

Sy-

Note: Due to previous experience, William qualifies for the advanced class Aquatic Hunter.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:32 PM

oh my god

what would aquatic hunter entail?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:33 PM

W-I mean, how useful would that really be?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:33 PM

if you don't get a shelter, you'll know how to make one

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:33 PM

Sy-

The class focuses on hunting aquatic-type monsters, typically in an aquatic environment. It is an upgraded version of the class 'Fisher'.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:34 PM

are there any other advanced classes william qualifies for

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:34 PM

Sy-

Note: Creating buildings comes under the Builder class.

Sy-

William also qualifies for the classes Harem King and Aerosmith.

W-...

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 12:37 PM

Sounds bout right

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:37 PM

...on one hand, harem king would let you manage the group better

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:37 PM

W-

...I hate that you're right about that.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:37 PM

you may also be able to specialize out of harem king

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:38 PM

W-I don't think I can. I don't change jobs, I get new ones on top of the ones I already have.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:38 PM

ah, crap

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 12:38 PM

Does the exp cost or whatever the system uses keep going up even when you get a new job

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:39 PM

Sy-

Experience in a job is gained by using that job.

Sy-

Chefs don't fight to level up, for instance.

Sy-

If two or more jobs are being used at once for a relevant task, then both will gain a portion of the experience.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:41 PM

hm... is 'adventurer' or 'explorer' a basic class

Lucky_Plucky21 13-Feb-21 12:41 PM

Adventurer is a basic job

A Jack of al Skills type of job

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:42 PM

Sy-

Adventurer is a basic class. Explorer is a basic class.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:42 PM

adventurer, then

thats all around a good option

like a basic version of protagonist

hm... would it work for the group tho

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:43 PM

Sy-

Adventurer is a mixed traversal/combat class.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:43 PM

can we get a list of basic mixed leadership/combat classes

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:43 PM

Mo-If we think of our group as a party, what do we have and what do we need?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:44 PM

got a lot of combat skill, but not a lot of survival skill and the glue of the party just got nerfed hard - healing is also not in there

maybe druid?

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:44 PM

Sy-

Note: The system is too open to give a full list of any kind of class. Leadership classes available: - Harem King

W-What, just the one?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:45 PM

wow

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:45 PM

Mo-It seems like the best option, despite the name.

W-I could go the tinker route and pick Item Creator, Engineer, or Aerosmith?

W-If I need to, I can pick Harem Master, but...

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:47 PM

druid might cover item creation, to a degree

how do you feel about literal tree house

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:48 PM

W-I could vibe with a tree house.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 12:49 PM

If you pick aerosmith maybe you can make a plane that won't crash

But you probably need shelter of some kind yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:49 PM

i mean

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:49 PM

W-To be fair, that was the birds.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:49 PM

the reason the plane crashed was birds yeah

stupidly durable birds who were able to take getting burnt alive by lung

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:50 PM

W-Actually, system, can I just... put off the decision for now?

Sy-

Yes.

W-To be fair, they were pretty damn big birds.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:50 PM

speaking of which, i think the goal from here is to delete birds existing period

fuck the ecosystem and fuck birds

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:51 PM

W-I can get behind that.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:51 PM

first we gotta find the fuckers' chr file or whatever it is

given the coordination, we might be able to screw over whoever's causing all the problems too if we crack open said chr file

and just start adding in all sorts of weird data

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:53 PM

Mo-I really hope it's not in a different file format

Mo-Or that there'd be a file or each bird.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:53 PM

it could be, whoever made this system clearly made it to be as awful and aesthetically upsetting as possible

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:54 PM

Mo-That's accurate.

W-Well, this is officially being procrastinated on.

W-I can pick a class one we know more about what's going on.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:55 PM

ye

...actually, is 'helper' a class

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:57 PM

Sy-

Yes, it's a basic support class.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:57 PM

seems like a good pick, given how many directions it could go

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:58 PM

Mo-I still think Harem King is the best pick here, since it's an advanced leadership class.

W-I like Helper.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 12:58 PM

...would monika qualify for harem queen

Pika 13-Feb-21 12:59 PM

Sy-

No. To qualify for the Harem Royalty class, one must be the leader of a harem.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:00 PM

oh so will's gonna unlock it eventually anyways

good to know

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:00 PM

Sy-

Not automatically.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:01 PM

well, since its a toss up between harem king and helper, i have a shiny coin

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:01 PM

W-Sounds good to me.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:01 PM

heads for harem, tails for helper

$flip

Coin Flipper BOT 13-Feb-21 01:02 PM

Coin flipped: It's heads!

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:02 PM

welp

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:02 PM

W-...

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:02 PM

the coin has spoken

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:03 PM

Mo-Yay! Looks like you're getting the more powerful, more relevant class!

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:03 PM

you're just happy because it helps solidify the harem lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:03 PM

W-...

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:04 PM

dont worry, you'll probably be getting helper shortly

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:04 PM

W-I'd better.

Sy-

Note: Due to previous experience, you will be starting at level 10+13=23 in Harem Master.

Mo-See? I knew it was the right choice!

W-Sigh.

W-"I also have a power that works sort of like an RPG's class system. It came free with Synthesis."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:07 PM

hey, actually, you should probably combine harem master with the de-crazy perk

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:07 PM

Br-"I don't play many video games, I'm afraid."

W-The thing is, if I do that, would it limit it to only my 'harem'?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:08 PM

oh

point

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:08 PM

W-What if I ran into, say, Bonesaw?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:08 PM

yeah, yikes... lets not do that then

it is a thought though if you get like 'hero' as a class (edited)

or 'protagonist'

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:09 PM

W-Maybe if I get Synthesis Plus.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:09 PM

actually all things considered just chatting in here is probably putting points towards some kind of protagonizin class

maybe Jumper

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:10 PM

Sy-

As stated before, the only way to get anything resembling a 'Protagonist class' is the Re:Monster Protagonist perk.

W-Hell.

Lucky_Plucky21 13-Feb-21 01:10 PM

Yep

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:10 PM

dang

Lucky_Plucky21 13-Feb-21 01:10 PM

Time to be a goblin

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:10 PM

i mean protagonist is probably on the list, so

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:10 PM

Sy-

It is.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:11 PM

ayy

so we dont need to worry about it then

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:11 PM

Sy-

Origins are generally not purchased unless they are on the list or are counted as a 'freebie'.

W-If it comes around, it comes around.

W-Oh, I see Shielder flying overhead!

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:12 PM

which means monika's prolly in range for getting a class

you can also call out to em to get his attention

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:13 PM

W-The class giving thing is touch-range, but it's not like she can't wait.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:13 PM

true that

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:14 PM

Sh-"Hey, Browbeat, civilian. I'm gathering up everyone I can find into one area. Wanna come with?"

W-"Sure."

Br-"Good plan."

W-Flying around inside a forcefield would probably be more fun if I didn't already know what self-supported flight was like.

W-Shielder isn't that much faster than I was, either.

W-...Huh?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:19 PM

whats up

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:19 PM

W-There's a huge clearing on the island, and there's a ton of people there.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:19 PM

like normal-looking people?

no capes? (edited)

no weird crazy outfits?

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:20 PM

W-Yeah, just regular people.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:21 PM

i thought there were only people from the not-space i guess not though

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:21 PM

W-So did I.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:21 PM

just no peeps on the flooded shelter

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:21 PM

W-If the Flooded Shelter didn't have people, then why does this place? There's no city bits here or anything.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:22 PM

i get an ominous 'town of salem' feel here

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:23 PM

W-There'd better not be.

Mo-How about you meet up with us first? Then we can make a decision.

Mo-The others are already here.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:23 PM

probably best

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:24 PM

W-Sure.

Lu-"Will, you've arrived. Good."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:25 PM

ah, and the band's back together

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:25 PM

W-"Hey, good to see you guys again."

Fe-"You're looking a bit less gold, now."

W-"Thank god for that."

Fe-"I liked it. It was distinctive."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:27 PM

pfft

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:28 PM

W-The nazi liked me having a different skin colour? What bizarro world is this?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:28 PM

my thoughts exactly

Lucky_Plucky21 13-Feb-21 01:28 PM

You know

Chicks always dig the gold

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:28 PM

W-Hhhhhh

Lucky_Plucky21 13-Feb-21 01:28 PM

Yeah, yeah get use to it

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:28 PM

Mo-Given the harem's demographics, so do guys.

Lucky_Plucky21 13-Feb-21 01:29 PM

Of course

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:29 PM

lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:29 PM

W-"Anyway. I saw a group of people on the way over. Should we try to meet up with them?"

Lucky_Plucky21 13-Feb-21 01:29 PM

What you thought happened in the craze of gold

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:29 PM

W-Sigh.

Ve-"I think we should. If they're people, we can talk to them."

Lucky_Plucky21 13-Feb-21 01:30 PM

Yep

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:31 PM

Lu-"They could be dangerous. There is power in numbers."

Br-"I saw them too. They were wearing modern clothes."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:31 PM

worst case scenario, fenja picks up everyone and runs

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:32 PM

W-Or if Shielder is bringing us over, he could just book it.

W-Actually, should I give classes to everyone here first?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:32 PM

probably

will be a show of good faith for those not in the group, and help tie together everyone already in it

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:33 PM

W-Yeah.

W-"By the way, my power gives me smaller powers over time, and one of them lets me permanently gift other people an RPG-like power with no side effects. Does anyone want it?"

Sh-"You can give people a grenade launcher power?"

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:34 PM

lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:34 PM

Sh-"

"

W-"Heh. No, it's more like a class system from a role playing game."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:35 PM

lmao

shielder: awww man, i wanted the explosives

Awake 13-Feb-21 01:36 PM

Fhdhdhf

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:36 PM

Sh-"Okay, a grenade launcher power would've been neat, but video game power are WAY cooler."

Mo-"I'll take 'em!"

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:37 PM

Is it wrong that I'm hoping that the people are actually the danger of this island? Because if they aren't, that means that not only do you need to protect yourselves, you also need to protect and provide food for a whole herd of normals

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:37 PM

W-...Hell. That'll be fun.

W-And we don't even know what happened to them last time, either.

Mo-At least System guaranteed that there's food sources on each island.

Awake 13-Feb-21 01:38 PM

That's true

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:38 PM

What if the food source is other people

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:39 PM

stop talking random

Awake 13-Feb-21 01:39 PM

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:39 PM

Mo-Oh, I was auto-assigned a class. 'Literature Club President'.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:39 PM

does this mean your coding skillz are gonna level up?

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:39 PM

Mo-I hope so!

Lu-"I shall go next."

Lu-"Yakuza Oyabun."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:42 PM

Oh yeah, did Lung's character file get reset? Would be pretty sus if he still remembers last loop but suddenly is not a dating sim character in love with Will

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:43 PM

RANDOM

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:43 PM

Mo-I have no idea. I lost the location of the file, and the backups were deleted.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:43 PM

I AM MASTER JINXER

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:43 PM

you are trying to jinx it so will dies in 24 hours

it doesnt seem like he has been reset, though

would be hard to revert personality changes, and non-fiat-backed stuff seems to stay

like the 20/10 good looks

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:44 PM

Fe-"I got 'Valkyrie Warrior'."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:45 PM

All these people getting super cool classes And Will is stuck with basic classes or Harem King

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:45 PM

the curse of jumper

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:45 PM

W-I know. I'm so mad.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:46 PM

jokes on them you can get protagonist

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:46 PM

Mo-I guess we all just have more experience doing interesting things than you do.

W-Was there an actor class?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:47 PM

probably

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:47 PM

Sy-

Yes. The actor class is a basic class.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:47 PM

Maybe it's a basic class

oh okay

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:47 PM

W-Hey, it's not like acting is easy or anything!

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:47 PM

you probably already have some levels in that

i mean, acting is probably easier than levelling a continent with your brain meats

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:48 PM

W-I just have the one Harem King class. I guess I need to manually unlock other classes.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:48 PM

You know Myrddin died in Leviathan I think. Maybe you can find him and make him an actual wizard

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:48 PM

pfft

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:48 PM

W-God.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:48 PM

nah that was echidna

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:49 PM

W-Yeah, it was.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:49 PM

Oh Close enough

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:50 PM

Ve-"I got High Scout."

Ve-"Well, I did do Boy Scouts, I suppose."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:50 PM

Finally a proper fantasy world class lol

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:50 PM

lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:51 PM

W-"Anyone else?"

Sh-"Sure, hit me up."

Sh-"..."

Sh-"Mine's just called Shielder."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:52 PM

lol

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:52 PM

We should have seen it coming

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:52 PM

i guess when it works, it works

he was already an rpg character

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:53 PM

Sh-"Oh, there's a skill to improve any shields I use. That has some good synergy!"

Br-"I suppose I'll take one too, then."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:54 PM

calling it now, browbeat gets philosiboxer

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:54 PM

Br-"Flesh-Weaver Warrior."

W-I mean, it does suit his power.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:54 PM

true that

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:55 PM

Should probably wait a few days before giving the random isand people class system Just in case it really is some town of salem BS

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:55 PM

W-Good idea.

Sh-"So, we're going to the group of people, now? I can only carry two people at once, unless we want to go through the forest."

W-So, do we go through the forest, or send two of us with Shielder? If so, which two?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:58 PM

probably go through the forest, safety in numbers

shielder can do overwatch a couple other people

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 01:58 PM

Can shielder take 2, then come back?

Pika 13-Feb-21 01:59 PM

Mo-If he takes two people, they could just book it if something goes wrong. I'd assume whoever goes that way would talk with the people there.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 01:59 PM

true, that works

meanwhile, everyone who stays behind could work to map the area some

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:00 PM

Mo-Maybe whoever is good with people can go with Shielder.

Mo-You and Velocity, maybe?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:01 PM

Velocity can book it very well Fenja can be pretty invincible and can probably move faster when big William is an actor and has the Harem King class for social

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:01 PM

W-Is sending a nazi a good idea? Even if she's getting better...

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:01 PM

Oh yeah Velocity it is then lol

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:02 PM

im just kinda considering offensive potential and stuff

if these people turn out to turn into psychosoma creations or something

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:03 PM

W-Good point. The current team isn't very attack-heavy.

W-But if they do attack us, we could probably get away.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:04 PM

true that

if shielder's shield gets broken, velocity can run and get the others, or do insanely quick attacks

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:04 PM

W-Though that leaves me vulnerable.

Mo-You could take some muscle. Browbeat is an option for that.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:05 PM

true

browbeat's tk field might be a good option to give him a mover rating too, kind of like assault

so if you need to bug out he can grab yall and run

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:08 PM

W-Sounds like a plan.

W-So it's either me or Velocity, and then Browbeat.

Mo-You, probably.

Mo-You're more charismatic.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:08 PM

yee

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:09 PM

W-Sure.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:09 PM

you're the voice, shielder's the defense and getaway plan, browbeat's the offense and the getaway plan (edited)

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:09 PM

W-A well-balanced party.

Mo-And our team is exploring in the meantime? We're in a pretty decently sized clearing, and there's the forest around us.

Mo-Do we try to poke around the clearing, or look in the forest?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:13 PM

poke around the clearing, if nothing interesting happens look in the forest

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:16 PM

Mo-Sounds good to me.

W-Well, we're here, and people are starting to notice us.

W-Like Browbeat said earlier, they have modern-looking clothing.

W-Though they look in pretty rough shape.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:17 PM

maybe they from William's world lol talk to them

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:18 PM

probably a good idea to establish friendly relations, try to keep everyone together

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:18 PM

wait

if they're in rough shape they've been here a while right?

Maybe like 2 months-ish?

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:19 PM

W-Maybe?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:20 PM

might be people from a disaster zone in brockton bay (edited)

why would they be randomly grouped up there if not recently dropped in

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:20 PM

Mmm. Talk to them and find out

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:20 PM

W-Right.

Sh-"Hey there, civilians. Is everyone alright?"

U-The civilians: *Murmur, murmur.*

U-Civilian: "Shielder from New Wave?"

Sh-"That's me!"

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:22 PM

Guess they aren't from William's world lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:22 PM

U-Civilian: "But Shielder was killed by Leviathan. Your name was on the monument."

Sh-"...Huh?"

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:23 PM

HMS is thinker once again

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:23 PM

W-They really are.

W-But uh

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:23 PM

welp, guess they're post-leviathan then

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:23 PM

W-What do we say?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:24 PM

'well, he's here in the flesh, his power's the same - seems like rumors of his death are greatly exaggerated'

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:24 PM

W-"Well, he's here in the flesh, his power's the same - seems like rumours of his death are greatly exaggerated."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:24 PM

browbeat already knows about the loops, so do all your companions it's likely that the time BS is going to leak at some point

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:25 PM

Mo-Ask everyone what the date is?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:25 PM

probably a good idea

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:25 PM

W-"Shielder, what's the date by you?"

Sh-"8th of April. You?"

W-"It was the 6th."

W-"Hey, you guys, what's the date by you?"

U-Civilian: "It's the 8th of June."

Br-"The 8th of June?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:28 PM

dear god, sounds like they lived through the echidna crisis too, maybe

oh, nope

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:29 PM

W-Leviathan was May 15th, right?

U-A civilian: "Browbeat?"

Br-"That's me."

U-A civilian: "Is your name really Mason Parks? That's what was on the monument."

Br-"!"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:30 PM

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:30 PM

Sh-"Hey. Outing a cape's secret identity is bad form."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:31 PM

unfortunately, seems like everyone here knows his identity already

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:31 PM

U-A civilian: "It's public knowledge. It was written on the monument in Captain's Hill."

Br-"..."

U-A civilian: "What about you? Who are you?"

W-"Ascension, or William Smith if you prefer, no relation to Will Smith. I'm very new to the scene."

U-A civilian: "Are you all here to help us?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:35 PM

to do what you can in that regard, yeah

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 02:35 PM

Most of the reasons to have a secret identity are kinda moot here actually No family or anything, no chance of a normal job, etc etc.

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:35 PM

W-Yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:35 PM

nobody's sure where everyone is, but we can establish some form of sanctuary

these islands are a mystery

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:36 PM

W-I've been pretty casual with my 'secret identity' anyway, so that's fine.

W-"We are. We want to protect everyone, if we can."

Mo-So, how well do you think they'll take Fenja and Lung?

Mo-They'll remember Bakuda's bombings. I don't know how much goodwill they'll have.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:38 PM

theyll probably take it poorly unless you can wrangle public statements that they'll be cooperating directly with the heroes in everyone's best interests to ensure things remain peaceful

mitigation and all that

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:39 PM

W-Yeah.

W-I could definitely see it being divisive, though.

Mo-Should we keep our group split in two, then?

Mo-Get Velocity to go your way, and keep me, Kenta, and Jess here?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:40 PM

maybe, yeah

working them around to the idea will be a challenge, but you're gonna be getting better and better leadership skills, so

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:41 PM

W-I could always wait to get some more stuff from Lordship and then try then.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:41 PM

true, true

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:41 PM

W-I only have the one charisma perk right now, plus natural skill and good looks.

W-And that one's for bringing out the good in people, which isn't going to be that useful.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:42 PM

yee

here's hoping for a certain skill

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:43 PM

W-So, should we try to gather some information, then?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:43 PM

probably, and try to get things organized

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:44 PM

W-Sounds good to me.

W-Apparently, this group of people are from a shelter, in a contested area between Grue and the Merchants' territory.

W-We're organising leadership while Shielder grabs Velocity.

W-The shelter staff's chain of command will be staying the same, more or less.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:48 PM

sounds good, things can remain stable for the foreseeable future like that

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:49 PM

W-Us capes won't be doing the leading, instead working alongside everyone else.

W-...

W-Oh hell.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:49 PM

what

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:50 PM

W-That's Sarah Livsey.

W-Or rather, Tattletale.

W-The cape, not the actress.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:50 PM

oh boy

probably good to have a chat with her, if you can manage - she might end up destabilizing things to try and get some control

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:51 PM

Mo-

I looked and noted that Tattletale’s area was partially blocked in by black marker. According to the map it was contested by an overlapping of Grue’s territory and the Merchants.

Infestation 11.4

Mo-This is her territory.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:52 PM

christ

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:52 PM

Mo-The staff are probably all hers, then.

TT."Hey, William, right?"

W-"That's me."

TT."Glad to have a cape on board."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:54 PM

ah, doublespeak

Awake 13-Feb-21 02:56 PM

Oh damn tattletale is here?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:57 PM

yep

its a big fuck

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:57 PM

TT."So, what are your powers? We already know the others' powers, and we'll want to know yours so we can make sure everyone is doing what they're best at."

W-The people here are from her territory, apparently.

Awake 13-Feb-21 02:57 PM

Ah

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:57 PM

W-Post-Leviathan.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:58 PM

she might use her powers to try and figure out your weak points through your powers

thankfully, you aren't naturally a trigger, so

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:58 PM

Mo-After the Undersiders' attack on the PRT HQ, but before the S9 arc, I think.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:58 PM

yeah, p much

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:58 PM

W-So, how much do I tell her?

W-As much as I hate to admit it, she has a good point.

W-I can't just not tell everyone what I can do if I want to help.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:59 PM

hm... eidolon by way of dauntless

Pika 13-Feb-21 02:59 PM

Mo-You could bend the truth?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 02:59 PM

itll be funny to see how she reacts to that, and its completely honest

really the best you currently have is some social thinkery stuff, but itll get better with time

Awake 13-Feb-21 03:00 PM

Bending the truth seems the best route

Flat out lies will probably be bad though

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 03:00 PM

bending the truth is pretty close to flat out lying

Pika 13-Feb-21 03:00 PM

W-"Eidolon by way of Dauntless."

TT."..."

TT."Pretty lofty comparison, there."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 03:01 PM

considering you're effectively a recent trigger, not as lofty as she may believe

dauntless is more pinpoint, you're more buckshot

which fits with the eidolon comparison

Pika 13-Feb-21 03:02 PM

W-So I say that?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 03:03 PM

in however many words you prefer to, yea

Awake 13-Feb-21 03:03 PM

Seems best

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 03:03 PM

it also implies all your powers are gonna be weak, but youre gonna have a lot of minor powers boosting you to a major advantage

shell prolly wanna get on your good side when she realizes you arent bullshitting on the eidolon thing tho

Awake 13-Feb-21 03:04 PM

True

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 03:04 PM

powerful backing and all that

Pika 13-Feb-21 03:04 PM

W-"Well, I got my powers pretty recently, so they haven't had the time to build up yet."

W-"They're pretty buckshot, but they're good."

W-"I'm not much above a baseline person at the moment, but I'll be a lot better in a few days or weeks."

(Brb)

Pika 13-Feb-21 03:57 PM

TT."Well, it sounds like you'll have the power to back up your claim then, Dr Manton."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 03:58 PM

that was fast

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 03:58 PM

lmao, GIGO

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 03:58 PM

yeah lol

i mean she's right but not in the way she thinks she is

Pika 13-Feb-21 03:59 PM

W-"'Fraid you're mistaken, I'm William Smith, not William Manton."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 03:59 PM

'trust me, manton is a lot more antisocial, and old'

Pika 13-Feb-21 03:59 PM

TT."Even though you're a 100% DNA match for him? I'm sure that means nothing at all."

W-What the shit? Her power shouldn't be able to know that!

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:00 PM

how tf can she possibly know that

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:00 PM

ah, this is probably some sechen range bullshit

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:00 PM

W-It better not be.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:01 PM

no amount of boosted logic can fkin read a person's DNA with your flawed human eyes

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:01 PM

W-Still, how the fuck can her power screen for DNA and compare it to someone who's been missing for years?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:01 PM

she's needling you

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:01 PM

Mo-^

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:01 PM

making an outrageous claim that makes her look smarter than normal

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:01 PM

Also she can certainly tell when you use anime thinking time

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:01 PM

yeah probably

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:01 PM

Mo-Chances are, she noticed your reaction and made something up that sounded plausible enough.

randomhuman44

Also she can certainly tell when you use anime thinking time

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:02 PM

W-...Fuck, she'd be able to, wouldn't she?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:02 PM

definitely

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:02 PM

well, aint like you didnt admit you have a lot of various powers

she probably wont know the details beyond thinker, and not particularly superhuman

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:03 PM

reading DNA is way out of her league but noticing someone's emotions and thoughts change instantaneously is like, what her power is optimized for

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:03 PM

Damn she already called you out

Do the scion costume and fuck with her

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:03 PM

W-God, I wish I still had that.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:03 PM

Will died, he no has Scion costume

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:03 PM

maybe calling her out on the needling would get her to backtrack

not aggressively, but

just pointing it out

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:05 PM

W-"And I suppose you have a DNA testing kit, complete with both his and my DNA, on your person, then?"

TT."Oh, I wouldn't know how to do a DNA test. That was courtesy of the folks at the PRT, I believe."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:06 PM

what

...84 days

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:06 PM

W-...

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:06 PM

Think she'll figure out Will has us in his head?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:06 PM

She'd still have to memorize a few billion base pairs or smth and she would have had to test yours, more importantly

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:06 PM

W-Hell.

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:06 PM

Huh?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:06 PM

...?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:06 PM

thats a little over 2 months, the system said he'd been at this for 84 days i think

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:07 PM

W-When I asked System how long I'd been here, System told me that I'd been here for 82 days. That was 26 days in if you counted the half-days here, and it doesn't.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:07 PM

I see. I guess it's time to just give up and let TT smug Ask her what tf is going on, since you have amnesia or somehing

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:08 PM

TT."No, it would've been the police who found you. They didn't know to involve the PRT until a week or so later."

W-"Mind giving an explanation, then?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:09 PM

oh, does she think you're a case 53 then

william manton from another world

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:10 PM

case 53s don't even have DNA a lot of the time I think Unlikely she thinks C53, as the DNAs match apparently

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:11 PM

i mean, youre probably thinking of weld when you say that

capes like newter, trainwreck, sveta, hunch, etc. exist

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:11 PM

Weld as a prime example, but there are others Custodian, for example And are you sure that Newter, trainwreck have human DNA at all? I find it unlikely.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:12 PM

gestures at canary

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:12 PM

TT."What do Shielder, Velocity, Browbeat, and the others have in common?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:12 PM

ohhhh great, its guessing game time

she probably wont confirm if we get it right, but might brag if we get it wrong

Limina Idling | Hours

gestures at canary

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:13 PM

Canary ain't a C53, she's a minor power mutation Cauldron doesn't do C53 procedures unless the person gets really fucked up

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:13 PM

it cant be 'died to leviathan' because lung never dies

theyre all capes, but so is lisa

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:14 PM

They were all in Will's harem before this whole clusterfuck happened maybe lol?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:14 PM

no, they weren't

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:14 PM

W-How does she know who 'the others' are?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:14 PM

browbeat sure as fuck wasnt

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:14 PM

Mo-Well, she didn't give any names.

Mo-She probably doesn't know who they are exactly.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:15 PM

yeah

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:15 PM

Mo-Well, she could, possibly.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:15 PM

really it all ties back to the introductory moment

because if 'others' includes monika, well

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:16 PM

True, would tattletale's power give her an advantage recognizing people when first descending

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:16 PM

Mo-Where would she have gotten the clues to even know anything about me?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:16 PM

TT is canonically very good at making guesses and then just running with them, even knowing she doesn't know all the details. She's usually right of course, because Wildbow. She's like the ultimate conman/cold reader

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:17 PM

how does the introduction look from the outside

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:17 PM

W-The ghostly place, you mean?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:17 PM

yeah

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:17 PM

Anyway. Can you just tell her you have amnesia or something and to please stop playing games

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:18 PM

lying about amnesia to force answers out of her wont work

she's playing right now

He ain't lying

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:18 PM

in this context, he may be

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:18 PM

he doesn't remember anything that happened before islands

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:18 PM

W-"Is there a reason you're playing these games?"

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:19 PM

maybe not "amnesia" as a medical term, but he's missing memories that are crucial in this context

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:19 PM

TT."Well, if you work it out yourself, you'll believe it more than if I told you outright."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:19 PM

yea

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:19 PM

W-"I'm missing whatever memories you think I have."

TT."What, the same ones the others are 'missing'?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:20 PM

then they arent missing, theyre being deliberately blocked, presumably by something on the volcano axis

or one of the other islands

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:21 PM

W-Better not be.

W-"Are you going to tell me, or are you going to just keep being coy?"

TT."Your group is made up of capes who died. Or left the bay. What does that make you?"

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:23 PM

(canon tattletale is annoying as fuck, congratulations on getting her character right lol)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:23 PM

a cape that left the bay

or died

generic worm fanfic

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:23 PM

(Lol She really is, unless you're ~~her replacement goldfish~~ Taylor)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:23 PM

i doubt you'd have died tho

that would send you home

this is assuming pre-everything-is-fucked

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:24 PM

W-"If you're saying that I died, I know that didn't happen. There'd certain things that would prevent that."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:25 PM

I'm kinda assuming that tattletale is just BS-ing here The starting group was literally rolled with a die You could have ended with tattletale just as easily (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:25 PM

unless she started here

TT."Ask anyone here. Most people saw the TV show producers investigating the mystery of the corpse of William Manton washing up on shore."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:26 PM

manton's older than you are, you just happen to look like him

no

Assuming anyway

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:27 PM

TT."Well, that's part of the mystery, isn't it? Why the body looked like he hadn't aged at all while he was missing."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:28 PM

Bruh just tell her that the voices in your head have already come up with worse nightmare scenario than what's actually happened she can just tell you lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:28 PM

im gonna be real thats stupid

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:29 PM

'the voices in your head' is never a good thing to mention

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:29 PM

i know lol

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:29 PM

go lie down, youre drunk or something lol

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:29 PM

TT."And then Bakuda scared them all away, yeah."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:30 PM

Well, the point stands, just call it a thinker power rather than voices in your head

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:30 PM

So things have definitely changed if that happened

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:30 PM

definitely weird, that

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:30 PM

Even though TT probably has worked out that you have voices in your head

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:30 PM

She might have

Or might in the future

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:31 PM

the point doesn't stand, tbh - bringing us up and the fact we've thought of worse will probably just get a 'well aren't you a special little snowflake' comment or something

anyone can think of worse

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:32 PM

Yeah but it kind of undermines the whole "you won't believe me if you don't come to the conclusion yourself" thing

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:32 PM

how?

i don't really see how coming to one unbelievably terrible conclusion that's been all but disproved means all conclusions are believable

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:33 PM

fine We'll just go through TT's walkthrough for the next four hours I guess

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:34 PM

dont think cheap bait is gonna work to solve this problem - it never does, after all

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:34 PM

Yeah

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:35 PM

AF-I'm checking the system logs right now, and there was a gap between the systems coming online and whoever it was entering the commands. It looks like the recursion wasn't online until several weeks after Will arrived.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:35 PM

That's not true It works for Tattletale all the time Her power is literally "all the cheap bait"

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:35 PM

But that's different cheap bait because it teaches her more

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:35 PM

will aint tattletale

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:35 PM

It's just bait

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:35 PM

yeah true i guess

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:35 PM

and neither are we

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:35 PM

AF-And the option to send the Jumper home doesn't occur until 10 years are up, so there's a weird grey area there. I tussled with that once back when I was jumping.

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:36 PM

I mean, you're thinker so maybe we're partially there

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:36 PM

I'm just a bit frustrated because at this rate I'm not going to find out what her fkin point is until tomorrow

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:36 PM

well, being angry about it isnt gonna fix it - you gotta be smarter about it

which is hard

weird how recursion got activated later, but i guess this was all a work in progress during the jump

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:37 PM

W-"Well, I'm going to look you in the eyes and say this now. I am not Dr Manton. My name has never been Manton, and I've never been a cape researcher. I'm a 22 year old actor."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:37 PM

the fresh corpse does imply cloned body

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:37 PM

TT."..."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:38 PM

deep sigh

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:38 PM

W-Looks like I caught Tattletale off-guard there. It could've been a fake corpse, yeah. (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:38 PM

it def could've been

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:38 PM

Which means siberian manton might be alive or even on one of the islands

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:38 PM

i guess you are kind of a cape researcher now? in that you have a lot of powers and youre trying to quote unquote 'research' them now

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:38 PM

Blasto a possibility but does not explain why Will has analogous media knowledge as we do when like three quarters of things never got made on Bet

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:39 PM

W-I doubt any one person, or even a group, is creative enough to make up every single piece of media I've ever consumed.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:40 PM

unless uber got precog somehow, hard agree

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:40 PM

TT."You're related to him somehow, though. Like I said, your corpse was a 100% DNA match. Legend himself had that confirmed."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:41 PM

might be a cranial + blasto combo thing, but that doesn't fit the timeline

unless something about another jumper was able to replicate that sorta combo

are you the sort of person who'd be down for an army of yous

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:42 PM

Hard to say

And huh

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:42 PM

Is it revealing too much to say that Will played Manton in a TV show? It probably is, but if we can just cut this short that would be great. It's clear Tattletale doesn't know as much as she thinks she does.

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:42 PM

Good question

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:42 PM

well, she does know something, so

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:42 PM

Thatd raise more questions though

She might ask what show

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:42 PM

yeah, exactly sunbro

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:42 PM

TT."If you check your jacket pocket, there'll be a wallet with some counterfeit coins."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:43 PM

Well is there? And how would you tell if they're counterfeit?

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:43 PM

W-Just regular coins. I don't know what she means.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:43 PM

Oh

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:43 PM

very good fakes then

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:43 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:43 PM

well, she's cottoned onto the 'different world' thing (edited)

my s key didnt wanna work

I mean Worm had a multiverse right?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:44 PM

yeah

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:44 PM

Not the worst claim

Vague and true

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:44 PM

TT."Minted in 2012, huh? I guess your counterfeiter didn't expect you to try and use them so soon."

TT."Those were on the corpse too."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:44 PM

It looks like all she really knows is that Will comes from a different world, and that he died in the jump timeline, and thinks Will doesn't know that.

No she doesn't even know about the different world

She's just trying to play smart

She knows fking nothing about what's actually happening

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:45 PM

random, she's a thinker, she's helping us piece together stuff, so if you could stop acting like there's nothing of value we can get from this, that'd be great

take a break and come back later if its pissing you off so much

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:46 PM

True, figuring out what happened in the worm verse would be good if its alternate timeline

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:46 PM

Oh, I do think she could help us piece stuff together. But not when we haven't shared any info with her. GIGO as it goes.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:47 PM

we are sharing info with her. by existing in her general proximity

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:47 PM

Mo-...Will? Didn't you say the missing time gave you a feeling like you were drowning? And she used the words 'washing up on shore'.

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:47 PM

I mean, she could glean the endbringers had layers by looking at them, and that they weren't human at all

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:47 PM

...fuck thats a good point

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:47 PM

Oh good point

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:47 PM

so it seems like you drowned, shit happened, and then this happened (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:47 PM

well, welcome to your new lease on life, plus conditional immortality

W-. . .

Limina Idling | Hours

we are sharing info with her. by existing in her general proximity

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:48 PM

Passive sharing of info like that clearly isn't quite enough given she hasn't cottoned onto the alternate timeline bit

I think Will broke

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:48 PM

W-...Oh.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:48 PM

this is an alternate earth, not an afterlife, so someone clearly brought you back

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:49 PM

Mo-And Lung and Tattletale are here too.

randomhuman44

Passive sharing of info like that clearly isn't quite enough given she hasn't cottoned onto the alternate timeline bit

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:49 PM

Also, the more info she has to logic out, the less she can help us later, because her power has the headache downside, if you don't remember

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:49 PM

if it was an afterlife, monika wouldnt have so much trouble with shard data, because itd be basic magic tied up with souls

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:49 PM

I mean, the 2012 counts might've

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:50 PM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

headache's on her

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:50 PM

W-i remember it now. drowning. i...

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:51 PM

sounds like whoever inserted you in that world fucked up

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:51 PM

yeah pretty much

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:51 PM

which is helpful info

this may have also been a deliberate attempt to help obscure your memories

System

Use default memory settings? Y/N

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:52 PM

actually nevermind they just did that anyways

'set up blanking systems' and all that

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:53 PM

W-no i think i was repressing it i just wanted to forget

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:53 PM

Yeah that makes sense

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:53 PM

fair

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:53 PM

Would be incredibly traumatic

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:54 PM

W-i still dont remember... drowning all the way either though i was drowning, then suddenly nothing, then after a while, the ghost place.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:54 PM

...leviathan?

Awake 13-Feb-21 04:54 PM

Maybe?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:55 PM

Take some anime thinking time to yourself to calm down i guess Also Leviathan didn't drwon him, it happened before Bakida remember

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:55 PM

Mo-^

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:56 PM

i mean, if leviathan was coming that way, id suspect he could save the weird logic-defying thing that suddenly appeared in the ocean for future research purposes

mightve been some kind of biostasis too

Pika 13-Feb-21 04:57 PM

Mo-I'm looking at the wormfic jump, and it says you can arrive at any time during April 2011, by the looks.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 04:57 PM

there are several worm fanfic jumps

all of em say that?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 04:59 PM

...I suppose that could happen? Would still necessitate the ROB dropping him in the middle of the ocean, but we already think they fucked up.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:00 PM

Could have dropped during Leviathan attack in the bay

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:00 PM

AF-His current jump is this one: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IbNIN3wLad3NTQO7aTfraPk-gRFZdeckmDHb_y-eSI8/edit It says you can arrive at any time you like. (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:00 PM

Ah

Hmm

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:00 PM

Mo-Oh, right.

Mo-And the others being taken from the 8th fits the timeline of Velocity not recognising you, since it was apparently a week before the police contacted the PRT about it.

W-...

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:02 PM

Ah

True

Hmm

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:03 PM

W-So I drowned. And was brought back here, somehow.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:03 PM

this might've been the result of one of your perks, somehow?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:03 PM

Okay. So why was Lung brought back in the not-space, rather than with TT? Did he die in this timeline?

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:04 PM

W-She did mention people who left Brockton Bay, I think.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:04 PM

its all people who died or left the bay yeah

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:04 PM

Oh true.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:04 PM

True

Pika

TT."Your group is made up of capes who died. Or left the bay. What does that make you?"

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:04 PM

W-This one.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:05 PM

Hmm

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:05 PM

It's a little weird to equate dying with leaving a city but I suppose from a narrative perspective centerd on Brockton bay they're largely the same.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:05 PM

Freeform Design - Variable The do-it-yourself option. You know how the power categories go - Mover, Shaker, Brute, and Breaker, etc, etc. You get +1 PRT threat rating per 50 CP in a single category…. Up to Rank 10. Going from Rank 10 to Rank 11 costs +100cp, going from 11 to 12 costs +150cp, and with the cost scaling up indefinitely. The PRT Threat Rating scale is reproduced at the end of this document for your convenience. So a powerset that is Mover 4, Brute 4 costs 400 CP, but being Trump 11 costs 600 instead of 550, Breaker 12 would be 750 instead of 600, and the hypothetical Tinker-15 of Wildbow’s would be 1500 CP.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:05 PM

Puts you as mentioned instead of actively there

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:05 PM

shaker/master?

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:05 PM

So makes sense

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:06 PM

make a new world full of hostile constructs that people leaving or dying in a certain area are transported to, alive and well

maybe they werent meant to be hostile

but, shard stuff

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:06 PM

When did TT leave the bay?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:07 PM

do we know if the figure we saw in the air was tattletale? she talked as if she wasn't part of the group

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:07 PM

W-Good catch.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:07 PM

That's a good catch

Maybe she just was here

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:08 PM

She's been talking like she personally experienced the Manton TV crew and stuff, and she's with the post-leviathan people (edited)

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:08 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:08 PM

ye

so she wasn't the figure we saw

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:08 PM

So she might not be part of the droppers yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:08 PM

most likely not at any rate

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:08 PM

Which means there might be other unexpected capes

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:09 PM

...fuck

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:09 PM

So we also dont have a count of how many total capes are in this situation

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:09 PM

fuck, now that's a good catch

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:09 PM

Do the other droppers remember from last loop, or is that Will's companion that does that

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:09 PM

Good question

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:10 PM

given everyone went in the same directions more or less, id assume will and his companions

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:10 PM

W-Browbeat didn't seem to, nor did Shielder.

So fiat backing plays into it

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:10 PM

yup

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:10 PM

AF-I'm the only one aside from Will and his companions who remembers, afaik.

(Ah okay just checkin)

Huh. That's odd

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:12 PM

it comes with being connected to the system

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:12 PM

Then again you are the admin yeah

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:14 PM

Anyway, so our current theory is this right?: Incompetent ROB drops Will in the middle of the ocean. He washes up as a corpse on shore. There's TV crews and stuff, but the Worm timeline continues on unaffected. And then the Great Architect decided to set up an omniversal time loop in death islands to revive him and some others? Possible that Will set part of it up himself using freeform power design.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:15 PM

well, the 'revive' part isnt quite accurate given its also people who left, but yea basically

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:15 PM

W-That sums it up.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:15 PM

Might be the power is some sorta bubble around him. He washed up on the bay right? Could be people who the threshold or died within it got caught up in it

As well as some inside naturally

Crossed the*

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:16 PM

W-Point. I seem to be the point of divergence here.

We also dont know the full nature of the power yet, or if it's even a power and not something that just. Happened somehow

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:17 PM

the system also hasn't confirmed you have freeform design, so

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:17 PM

Yeah

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:17 PM

Mo-Well, this is 'Generic Worm Fanfiction' and not 'Worm', so...

Sy-

Will has no perks from Generic Worm Fanfiction, and there are none in The Divine Wilds.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:17 PM

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:19 PM

Hmm

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:19 PM

we can probably mine deeper if we don't mind theorizing more, but given this isn't pressing, i say we just give will some time to cool off with anime thinking time

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:20 PM

Well, its generic worm fanfiction. Big stretch but alternate power Taylor or someth?

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:20 PM

W-Shit. Point. This really could be anything.

W-We could probably ask someone about Skitter when we get the chance.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:21 PM

yeah, prolly

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:21 PM

Well TT is post Leviathan

Shes the best bet

Monika

Updated map.

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:21 PM

Mo-'Chittering Shores'. An island that happens to be close to TT's.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:22 PM

I

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:22 PM

oh my god this is the undersiders spoke

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:22 PM

Mo-Hell, 'HIDDEN Grottoes'.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:22 PM

Oh fuck that makes sense

So does each spoke follow a theme?

Shelter's spoke endbringer attacks maybe?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:22 PM

seems like it - which means we went to the fuckin endbringer spoke

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:22 PM

W-Hell.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:23 PM

not only that but we kicked its ass

https://tenor.com/view/xd-meme-funny-emoji-gif-15406750

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:23 PM

As far as endbringer attacks go post-leviathan ones are pretty tame

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:23 PM

Yeah

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:23 PM

Mo-The island north-west of Flooded Shelter was gold, wasn't it? Who would that be? Scion?

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:23 PM

I hope there arent any post-simurgh spots

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:23 PM

simurgh, because of all the mechanisms?

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:24 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:24 PM

thats what i think that gold one is

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:24 PM

Or ziz-bombs given this place has people

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:24 PM

given simurgh bombs are basically disaster goldberg machines

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:24 PM

Yeah

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:24 PM

Maybe. We're just guessing at it being the endbringer spoke though, it could have a different theme

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:24 PM

That's also true

Monika

The island on the top left of the map looked like it had actual gold on it, and there were moving shapes, but he couldn't tell what they were.

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:24 PM

Mo-This is the description of it.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:25 PM

Theme could also technically be big events in worm given its Leviathan attack

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:25 PM

if so, what would be after gold morning?

ward? titans and all were a thing there

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:25 PM

Maybe

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:25 PM

W-Is2g if we have to deal with titans

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:26 PM

i doubt its titans tbh, logically speaking it wouldnt fit with potential threats we know of

we didnt fight leviathan on flooded shelter

it might be representative of broken triggers and stuff tho

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:26 PM

True

But they were sea themed threats

Maybe that plays into it

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:27 PM

yeah, thats what im sayin there

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:28 PM

"Important cities" maybe? Idk. In any case now we have info on the undersider's spoke that TT can't have possibly figured out How far apart are the islands? Can Shielder just fly across to go visit the other undersider islands?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:28 PM

if it is an endbringer spoke, itd fit for the last island to be khonsu, tohu, and bohu themed, given they were supposed to be extras more or less

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:28 PM

Oh true

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:29 PM

i doubt itd be that, otherwise flooded shelter wouldve had a plague going around, and the only city i know of thats gold is The City from ward

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:30 PM

Could be entity themed as the Warrior, the entities were massive after all

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:30 PM

maybe?? but it wasn't like flooded shelter WAS leviathan

just the aftermath

with some stuff added on

Limina Idling | Hours

i doubt itd be that, otherwise flooded shelter wouldve had a plague going around, and the only city i know of thats gold is The City from ward

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:30 PM

Well that is the most important city after Brockton Bay lol. I don't really expect it to be city themed But gold doesn't really fit with endbringer attacks either you know

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:31 PM

so probably worm arc themed?

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:31 PM

Probably

Gold city might be gold morning

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:31 PM

Maybe northwest spoke is "stations of canon". ?, then Leviathan, then Gold Morning. Maybe Brockton Bay in the middle of Bakuda bombing?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:32 PM

that sounds right to me

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:32 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:32 PM

actually, a time dilation bomb would be really helpful

bakuda bombing reminded me of the dauntless thing

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:32 PM

Just in case we're right, let's save the gold island for right before volcanic axel lol

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:33 PM

That does raise question

What theme, if any, does the Axel represent?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:33 PM

its the core of worm

probably something like 'everything sucks and you're all gonna die'

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:34 PM

It could also potentially be tied to whatever started this, the center

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:34 PM

"everything gets worse"? "eternal escalation"? "Cauldron is incompetent"? I'm having a bit of a hard time picking a central theme

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:35 PM

'Doing the wrong things for the right reasons.' and 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.' fits too

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:36 PM

Escalation makes sense actually

If it seems like its ready to erupt at any time, itd drive tension and conflict up

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:36 PM

point

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:37 PM

And that's the goal of the entities and shards

Which are definitely the core of worm

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:37 PM

Mo-I thought I'd add labels to the islands Kenta was able to see.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:38 PM

pockmarked and rocky is way not enough detail to figure out a spoke without more detail lol

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:39 PM

i mean, it could be the flooded shelter spoke is late worm and the westmost is early worm

bakuda bombing and all

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:40 PM

We definitely need more island info to figure out themes

Grey and rocky could also depend on the rocks

Might be concrete or someth idk

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:40 PM

yeah

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:40 PM

Maybe next time we travel, we could go in the opposite direction and see what's that way.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:40 PM

maybe

Pika 13-Feb-21 05:40 PM

(Yooooooo!)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:40 PM

(wooooooooo)

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:40 PM

(woo)

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:41 PM

(Nice)

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:42 PM

Anyway. Continue talking to Lisa to see if she has more than what we've figured out? And we can tell her that her teammates are probably on the islands north/south of this one, if she hasn't figured it out yet

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:42 PM

yeah, prolly

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:42 PM

She doesn't know the island names probably

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:42 PM

then again, this is supposed to be subtle

civilians around

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:43 PM

You know. Could ask her what she remembers of arriving here

If yall havent already

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:44 PM

That too. Still requires talking to her, which I see as a downside, but it has to be done.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:45 PM

we get it, she's annoyed you, lol

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:45 PM

What was she talking about again? Oh yeah, counterfeit coins.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:45 PM

Tbh it might help her figure stuff out

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:45 PM

it may also help her be less annoying in the future

will has perks that bring out the good in people

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:46 PM

"Interesting. By the way, what do you remember about arriving here?"

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 05:46 PM

"..."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:46 PM

Are we just going to tell her we came from an alternate timeline and they're not counterfeit coins? It's not that hard to figure out with all the evidence. I get that there's civilians, but they're civilians who've been teleported to death islands. Alternate timeline shouldnt be a huge deal. (edited)

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:47 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:48 PM

i mean, its not that big a deal, so mentioning it like that when it'd just serve to hurt her is kind of a dick move

thinker headaches and all

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 05:48 PM

"One moment we were in Brockton Bay, the next we were here. No transition at all."

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:48 PM

That's also a good point

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:48 PM

we can mention it when survival isnt that big a concern

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:48 PM

We don't wanna fuck her over headache-wise

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:49 PM

Wouldn't it hurt her less though? If we don't tell her she'll just drive her power trying to figure it out later.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:49 PM

If we do itd probably go into overdrive

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:49 PM

that's assuming she has shitty priority management

she already assumed they're counterfeit

that's the end of that

GIGO

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:49 PM

What's GIGO

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:50 PM

garbage in garbage out

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:50 PM

Ah

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:50 PM

Okay. Saving the revelation spike for later makes sense. So we save it for when we've got this island a bit more figured out I guess?

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:50 PM

Likely

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:50 PM

and shelter built

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:50 PM

Or when the issue just becomes more relevant

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:51 PM

If she keeps pushing us on it I say we just tell her though

If she lets up its fine

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:51 PM

i mean, she's pushing us on figuring out what happened to us

not that

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:51 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:51 PM

she is genuinely helping out there, we got will to remember some repressed stuff

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:51 PM

True

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:51 PM

Yeah

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 05:52 PM

I got the impression she was acting all smug and 'I know something you don't'.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:52 PM

She does that

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:52 PM

annoying thinker with a heart of ~~gold~~silver helps, but really wants to get that smug in in the process

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 05:53 PM

Maybe even getting in with it herself before someone else could tell Will, for that matter.

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:53 PM

Information is a powerful tool and currency

She digs it up easy

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:53 PM

"Anyway, we'll want to set up some shelter soon. Let's get to that."

Awake 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

Good point

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

well, whenever this conversation ends off, i guess you should probably thank her for the revelations - helped clear some stuff up

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

"That's a non-sequitur."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

even if she was smug about it

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

"Yep. Thanks for telling me that I died, by the way."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

True I guess

lol

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

I can't believe you managed to make that sound genuine.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

He is professional actor

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:54 PM

wow, he did what

i. lmaoooooooo

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:55 PM

Well, I was being genuine. Mostly. At least a little.
