01:43:40 Devastator: There a better word than harness?
01:44:05 Piecewise: Probably but I'm not up on my gimp gear
01:44:16 Piecewise: After all, I tend to be on the other side
01:45:34 Devastator: yeah, it's just that I'm attaching things to the birb instead of attaching a birb to things.
01:46:31 Devastator: birbs tend to be quick about that.
01:49:53 Piecewise: Ducks are easy to interconnect
01:51:29 Devastator: Man, nature's a bitch.
01:51:36 Devastator: corkscrews going opposite ways.
01:52:35 Piecewise: I mean, there are ones with spikes too
01:58:16 Devastator: aight, well, time to get +3 End, pump more mana into birb, and make the parachutes.
01:58:29 Devastator: hopefully
syv will finish his damn statue.
01:59:46 Piecewise: It should be a good one
02:00:31 Devastator: all he needs to do is get cloud water, refine iron, and draw blood.
02:03:05 Devastator: I'm pretty impressed he managed to get the human skull bit easy.
02:03:13 Devastator: albeit cloud water would be hard for anyone not him. ;-p
02:12:37 Devastator: oh, time to expand the inside of the backpack.
02:15:54 Devastator: Chuck is reviewing Trigun.
02:20:43 Piecewise: that seems to be a video left over from the early 2010's
02:21:06 Devastator: That's.. chuck's style.
02:21:18 Piecewise: He's got a planetes video so thats good
02:25:09 Devastator: Usually he watches two or three versions before doing the review.
02:28:51 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:32:23 Devastator: I was hoping you'd come by.
02:32:35 syv: Yeah. I saw you asked for me yesterday night.
02:32:50 syv: Got a couple quick KCom questions, then Cabal I guess.
02:33:36 syv: Namely; Can an org send a scientist to work in another org's lab? If so, would the resultant designs "belong" to the org that owns the lab, or the org that hired the scientist?
02:34:50 syv: ...Sorry, I like you to much to be misleading like that. Can an org send a scientist to work in another org's kaiju lab, thus processing a material that can be shifted around freely?
02:35:35 Devastator: I mean, I wouldn't say no, but it'd be pretty tedious to do that, since lead scientists are interchangeable.
02:36:04 Devastator: I like my planning ahead, anyway.
02:36:27 Devastator: if so, it'd be the person owning the lab who keeps the design, like if you employ a mad scientist.
02:36:33 syv: The two uses I was hoping to get out of this are that I could let Irony use my lab instead of building a new one, and potentially buying scientist time off other players.
02:37:32 syv: Yeah, I figured. That question mostly existed to give a downside to scientist sharing, making a positive ruling more attractive.
02:38:57 Devastator: I don't think it'd be imbalanced, I just don't want to keep track of it.
02:39:13 Devastator: "on contract with X, for Y months, working for Z in A lab."
02:39:15 Devastator: I'd have to name them.
02:41:21 Piecewise: ping me if you need me, otherwise I will be considering syntax
02:41:36 Devastator: I might want to resolve casting 8 spells. ;-p
02:41:41 Devastator: nah, that's a turn.
02:41:59 Devastator: any other questions?
02:45:45 Devastator: well, for Cabal, I gotta make parachutes and I gotta upsize the ride, and then I'm ready to go.
02:45:49 Devastator: can you make your thing in time?
02:46:35 syv: I can make it in one turn, easy.
02:47:19 syv: The only hard part is getting water from a cloud, which is probably trivial with animate. Otherwise I just need Saeko's blood and I need Saeko to summon a block of steel to purify.
02:47:39 syv: Assuming, of course, I don't just buy a block of iron, which might be cheaper.
02:47:48 syv: Though I don't have much money....
02:52:27 Devastator: up to you. I'll cast a spell for that if you want.
02:52:37 Devastator: and you can borrow benny for your water.
02:53:13 syv: AFAIK summoning steel has been the plan for quite awhile. So... yeah, I want.
02:56:08 Devastator: Oh,
Piecewise, it's been a full week. Has the miscast effect ended yet?
02:59:03 syv: Maybe Ekrov should cast a diagnosis spell on Saeko.
02:59:50 Devastator: ok, I'll keep it listed.
03:01:49 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:04:09 Devastator: End to +3, so sparkles?
03:10:06 Devastator: guess I'll find out.
03:10:23 Devastator: also, posted. Anything else you need,
syv?
03:10:27 ER: unsounded has a fanart / fanfic contest for between-chapters time, and I'm tempted
03:11:32 Devastator: just remembered about the painting guardian box.
03:11:42 Devastator: ..I think I'll just free the thing.
03:12:45 syv:
Dev: A) I really think you should maybe hold off casting spells until the whole "casting causes a massive explosion that might kill you" thing is sorted. B) RP?
03:13:04 Devastator: well, I can't really wait forever.
03:13:39 Devastator: although come to think of it, I have a week of time that benny will spend just growing, because I need more than an immediate d12 to carry everything.
03:15:10 Devastator: starting from where?
03:16:26 Devastator: well, we just had an exchange.
03:16:47 syv: That is the question,
Dev.
03:17:05 syv: I absolutely suck at in-medias-res, as it entirely disconnects me from the character.
03:18:12 Devastator: well, what is Ekrov doing, then?
03:18:53 syv: (
syv) I absolutely suck at in-medias-res, as it entirely disconnects me from the character.
03:19:09 Devastator: Yes, which is why I'm asking, so you don't have to do that.
03:20:02 syv: No, I'm saying I AM disconnected. I don't have any point to work off of, so I find it difficult to start anything.
03:20:21 syv: Ugh. Okay, maybe it's my phrasing. I'm bad at *starting* an IMR scene.
03:20:37 syv: I can work off a scene given a "here is what is happening" to go with.
03:20:54 Devastator: well, you didn't want to say hi immediately after coming back, so lets move forward a bit.
03:21:04 Devastator: say you've met the people I hired to go help dig.
03:21:47 ER: [Zavirius is sitting in some bar in Alcahest, and sees her *old friend* Saeko walking past. Zavi immediately begins shouting to get her attention.]
03:22:24 ER: which is pretty much exactly what I had in mind anyway. I don't even know if my character drinks
03:22:28 Devastator: you've walked in after this exchange.
03:22:37 Devastator: is dwarf, after all.
03:22:57 ER: she can't be a dorf, she doesnt have a beard
03:23:04 Devastator: Toady said that's ok.
03:23:10 Devastator: and toady is dwarf expert.
03:23:16 syv: You know what, nevermind, I'm still in a crap mood. We can just have everything go with arbitrary easy boldtext. I'll post some basic do-the-thing actions and you can just get on with it.
03:24:45 Devastator: Hey Zavi. Been hoping to see you.
03:24:45 ER: "Saeko! my old freind! How long has it been? Why, you've grown! I knew you when you were this tall!" Zavi holds you hand at a height slightly below the top of Saeko's head, grinning.
03:25:13 Devastator: "Yeah, Things have been.. busy. Went to the lake town on my bird."
03:25:32 Devastator: "There was a mine, and some weird moon spells, and a giant bug, and a siren... lots of stuff."
03:26:11 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:26:22 ER: "Sounds very exiting. And you won in the end?"
03:27:31 Devastator: "Yeah. Went pretty well. Saved a couple hundred people who were prisoners of this huge bug mage. Might have been my kind of mage. Anyway, we had a big celebration, and the town doesn't have abductions anymore, so we won!."
03:29:13 Devastator: "And I met a couple new people. Working with one of them.. very shy, but very smart. He's taking apart this giant airship we shot down right now."
03:29:15 ER: "Yeah, I'm *pretty sure* that winning's what happens any time the breakers get involved." Zavi nods sagely.
03:29:29 ER: "At least, I've never heard of us losing!"
03:29:37 Devastator: "Are you one of them?"
03:30:51 ER: Zavi looks nervously upwards. "Uh, basically. I kinda got distracted for a while, so I'm still a trainee."
03:32:05 Devastator: "I suppose you would be. I got a place to go next, going to go explore."
03:32:21 Devastator: "A bit tired of saving cities, so going to relax a bit and just explore for a while."
03:34:27 ER: "Dunno man, being out in the wilderness or a cave or something doesn't sound all that relaxing to me. At least our base is here in the city, so in my down time I can, uh, enjoy the amenities." Zavi says, holding up a cocktail glass.
03:35:07 Devastator: "Hmm. Still, I was hoping to run into you for another reason."
03:35:19 Devastator: "Do you still have that lightweight word?"
03:35:29 ER: "Oh yeah! Want me to buy to a drink!?"
03:36:00 ER: "Oh, yeah, still have that one. Can't imagine how I'd get rid of these, to be honest."
03:36:32 Devastator: "I got rid of one. It seems if you have too many they just kinda leak out."
03:37:24 ER: "Not how it works f'me." Zavi points her thumb at an arcane symbol on her shoulder.
03:38:17 ER: Zavi buys Saeko her choice of drink and I don't have to pay for it unless
PW acknowledges my flawless RP
03:38:29 Devastator: I'm fine with buying Zavi one, too.
03:38:47 Devastator: I guess then we go through the spells we enchanged in the turns at that point.
03:40:21 ER: how big was the baboon, again?
03:40:29 Devastator: baboon-sized with condor wings.
03:40:33 Devastator: so not really a shoulder sitter.
03:41:57 Devastator: I could shrink it if you really want.
03:46:59 Devastator: could also make it bigger.
04:08:56 Devastator: Oh, you probably want to put condor-baboon on your stat sheet,
ER.
04:14:49 MidJag: If it has stats we can kill it~
04:32:30 Piecewise: if it doesn't have stats, you can also kill it but its powers are harder to pin down and I'll probably just roll a d6 or d8
04:33:02 Piecewise: I mean, in a manner of speaking
04:33:26 Piecewise: depends on the amount
04:33:35 ER: we can't kill sand because Coven is dead
04:33:38 Piecewise: go fight a sand dune, wimp
04:34:05 syv: How big of a hammer do I need to kill a sand dune?
04:34:10 Piecewise: I beat Coven too quick
04:34:23 MidJag: I think a bulldozer sized one would do
04:34:24 Piecewise: Bigger the better
Sy
04:35:00 ER: the fastest way to beat an RPG is to seduce god
04:35:39 Piecewise: Inject power into yourself, become god's wife, conquer somewhere
04:36:05 ER: wow,
PW managed to say the word "wife"
04:36:07 syv: If I tried to kill a sand dune with a dagger, would you still roll for it? Go for that 1.% chance of getting a critical hit and oneshotting it?
04:36:31 Piecewise:
Sy, I will roll that for you just because its funny
04:46:02 Devastator: I think you have to actually do it.
04:49:01 Devastator: well, you should be able to punch the giant floating city.
04:49:40 Devastator: I hope there's smaller floating cities.
04:49:49 Devastator: it'd make upgrading benedict to cyper-benedict easier.
04:49:56 Devastator: that is, smaller crystals.
04:51:59 syv: I somehow doubt that there's an excess of floating cities for you to loot.
04:52:01 Piecewise: Just keep bumping your STR till you can punch everything to death
04:52:13 Piecewise: Go full fist of the north star
04:54:17 ER: that's my goal, but getting d10 to d12 might be... difficult?
04:54:42 ER: well, probably want d20 really, at that point may as well megaproject
04:54:44 Devastator: well, going to experiment with that.
04:54:55 Devastator: as soon as the miscast explosions stop.
04:55:20 syv: D12 natural strength, +5 buff, enchanted power armor, potion of strength.
04:55:33 Devastator: d20 has to be doable, though.
04:55:43 Devastator: there's stuff walking around with d20 stats.
05:09:45 Piecewise: if you reach their rank
05:09:57 Piecewise: you'll even get to meet Telcal!
05:10:19 Piecewise: try not to be immediately reduced to ashes
05:12:24 Devastator: Didn't you say the recruits would get a chance if they got accepted?
05:12:32 Devastator: welp, you mean mundano was a magebreaker?
05:13:14 Devastator: Since assassination isn't a worry, not sure why the recruits wouldn't get to see from proverbially afar.
05:18:42 Devastator: "I used to work at the Institute of Hearing Research, and we ordered a giant poster printer. Much like the reasons I suspect they got their massive printer, it was costing the institute a fortune having posters printed (scientific conferences, public engagement, various seminars...) so we decided to in-house the process. It did actually save us a small fortune, and paid for itself.we...
05:18:44 Devastator: ...carefully measured the dimensions, took into account the weight, but when it arrived we were not prepared for the giant wooden container that appeared to be assembled with railway sleepers and nails forged in the core of a collapsing star.We had to eventually let the delivery drivers go, and dismantle the box ourselves, then enlist the help of around a dozen strong students to carry the...
05:18:45 Devastator: ...thing up the stairs. Sounds simple enough, but the whole process took two days."
05:37:27 ER: just watched the ending cutscene of Death Stranding, it was Death Strandingy
05:38:33 ER: anyway, yes indeed kill the gods
05:38:41 syv: I've heard that Death Stranding is actually something new and different.
05:41:29 syv: It sounds pretty fantasy to me.
05:42:29 ER: she looks like a cyberpunk to me
05:44:52 syv: I... guess? I'm not certain the art is even all that related, I'd expect Aviators outsourced it without too much direction. But maybe?
05:45:51 syv: I think the tech level is something akin to K6BD, as the setting as a whole sounds pretty similar. Maybe abit more grounded, and a bit smaller.
05:46:15 Devastator: Man, I don't know how to score K6BD's tech level.
05:47:50 syv: Multiple worlds, to the point of them being nearly infinite, with power being something you are, not some something you have. So you have fights involving swords, lasers, guns, fireballs, and more all involved, yet without it being onesided.
05:48:24 Devastator: it's sorta because stuff is about concepts.
05:48:42 ER: kinda wish there were more tech based power in k6
05:49:06 ER: fuck your godpower, I haz MECH
05:49:52 syv: ...I kinda hope that char isn't Godhunter. She's a neater character when she's a mysterious undefined force, not a... purple haired anime cyberpunk thing.
05:50:15 Devastator: aren't all characters purple-haired anime cyberpunks?
05:50:37 ER: I want to be a purple haired anime cyberpunks
05:51:10 syv: You can do about a third of that without too much difficulty.
05:51:56 ER: apparently in k6bd one of the demiurges we haven't seen much of yet collects technology
05:54:20 MidJag: K6D and AH sound vaguelly similar.
05:54:39 MidJag: in terms of ideas on which they are built on
05:55:24 Devastator: sorry, didn't say hi earlier.
05:55:39 syv: Maybe in the sense that bloodborne and The Surge are similar.
05:56:19 MidJag: I'd say that's a fair comparison
05:57:27 ER: or maybe PM3 and Evengelion. ;p
05:57:34 ER: Though I haven't even seen one of those
05:57:49 MidJag: I've heard Evengelion is quite good
05:57:49 syv: That sounds even farther apart.
05:58:08 MidJag: at least the surge and bloodbuorne are both souls likes
05:58:21 syv: Yeah, it's super famous for revolutionizing mecha anime, and for having a copout ending.
05:58:57 MidJag: Sounds like a lot of anime we watch ~
05:59:16 syv: Yeah, that's my point. Same genre, but the execution, setting, style... everything elsw is extremely different in virtually every way. Also, only one is actually good.
05:59:25 Devastator: should we set a date for the next movie?
06:00:44 MidJag: I will probably have time in like two weeks or so.
06:00:45 syv: I would not mind that at all.
06:00:53 MidJag: I will not have time any time before that.
06:00:59 syv: I would like to see flipcocking sooner than later.
06:01:46 Devastator: well, we could watch T2 sooner than that, and then the Avatar movie with
MJ later.
06:01:54 Devastator: as punishment for our sins.
06:02:23 ER: at least force me to watch the good version of avatar first
06:02:47 syv: ...Though Avatar is way too damn long really.
06:03:10 Devastator: I'm ok with that compromise,
ER.
06:03:17 Devastator: I can sit through a terrible movie if it's with others.
06:06:54 ER: oh yeah, any of you doing pleasant things for thanksgiving? :)
06:08:31 syv: And I guess it's now technically Thanksgiving, so I can already have it.
06:09:09 ER: yeah, I'd say that stuff's prolly best to eat asap?
06:09:22 Devastator: I had mine last month.
06:10:23 ER: I can just like, buy sushi where I work. Not *high quality* sushi, but sushi
06:10:36 MidJag: Been a while since I've seen both my bros though, so it's nice.
06:10:47 ER: also mysically it costs more than most other food
06:12:29 MidJag: What kind of resturant do you work at anyway
ER?
06:12:34 syv: I have to drive about twenty minutes to get it.
06:12:44 ER: one that's also a supermarket
06:13:09 ER: and also maybe a health food store for hippies?
06:13:20 MidJag: This sounds like a strange place
06:13:24 ER: with like, candles and herbs and shit over in one corner
06:15:36 ER: I'm not really sure if I've worked for two companies I feel slightly cynical about, or if washing people's dishes tends to make you feel cynical about them. :V
06:16:19 syv: I think working for people makes you feel cynical about them.
06:16:28 syv:
Dev would know best though.
Devastator?
06:16:50 Devastator: Sometimes, yeah. Sometimes, no.
06:18:18 ER: four days a week, I get to turn my brain off, cleanse surfaces with glorious pressure and heat and chemical, and listen to chefs compain about their job
06:21:50 Devastator: Enjoying having money?
06:22:44 ER: the money whispers to me, and it says "get more of me"
06:23:44 Devastator: The red gold of Angarak, eh?
06:26:17 Devastator: no.. what's the right phrase.
06:28:23 ER: welp, guess I have to add Godhunter to my Refine playlist
06:28:49 ER: which I guess means acknowledging that still exists
06:29:50 ER: that one would demand an entirely different set of musics ;P
06:30:03 syv: I really want FMD. Refine would also be acceptable.
06:30:14 syv: You were complaining about us not having IRC testgames?
06:30:24 syv: Run some FMD testgames, then.
06:30:26 ER: "the hate in your head, she has more" he said
06:31:07 ER: The house you're in explodes.
06:33:22 Devastator: Crawl out of the debris
06:34:14 ER: This is painful. You think you're bleeding, but can't tell with all the blood in your eyes.
06:38:12 syv: Full Metal Jacket, except magical girls.
06:38:32 syv: Not the one with panties and shin hoverboard things.
06:38:49 ER: You feel pretty powerful. The little hovering robot told you that the magic of a child in an enviroment of conflict would be focused on keeping oneself alive. That sounds like you should use them now.
06:38:51 Devastator: totally the ones with panties and shin hoverboard things. ;-p
06:39:05 Piecewise: are you referencing strike witches?
06:39:40 ER: I'm not sure if it would be better to say that underwear definately exists in my game world or definately doesn't.
06:39:51 syv: IIRC they float on hover things that they wear on their shin.
06:39:53 Devastator: go with infinite petticoats.
06:40:30 ER: the petticoat which strangles the universe
06:40:35 Piecewise: Also thats been surpassed by Kantai collection
06:40:46 Piecewise: it has girls that are battle ships
06:42:29 syv: ...Why schoolgirl outfits?
06:42:35 MidJag: ...sooo, it's transforms harem edition?
06:43:30 Piecewise: here is one of their enemies
06:43:55 Devastator: Yeah, that's just stupid.
06:44:27 Piecewise: European Water Princess "
06:44:38 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
06:45:29 syv: And here I think the second two look better.
06:46:48 Piecewise: I think this one looks pretty ok
06:46:54 Devastator: I think the last one has the turrets on the Richelieu.
06:47:49 syv: That last one... well, the monster thing looks awesome, but at that point the girl is just somewhat irrelevant?
06:48:18 Devastator: should just be monsters.
06:49:02 syv: Hey Dubs, are there any gacha games that are *just* monsters, no girls?
06:49:20 syv: I'd think there's some digimon knockoff or someting.
06:49:27 Piecewise: I definitely like the enemies better than the normies. I think of all the female designs I like that last one the best because she at least looks semi-naval as opposed to just some anime thing.
06:51:15 Piecewise: so there's probably girls in there but its not gonna be some BIG ANIME TIDDY sim
06:51:37 Piecewise: honestly there are so many japanese games that are just "LOOK AT DEM ANIME TIDDY" over shit gameplay
06:52:03 Piecewise: you can get anime tiddy for free. And more.
06:52:16 Piecewise: why pay for it or spend 100s of hours grinding?
06:52:22 Devastator: nobody plays for gameplay anyway.
06:52:31 syv: They like spending money? Also hate actually having real girlfriends. Something something declining birthrate.
06:52:53 Piecewise: There's apparently a disney gacha game
06:53:09 syv: ...You know that actually makes sense, thinking about it.
06:53:15 syv: Does it have big anime tiddy?
06:53:44 Devastator: like look at the recent fire emblems.
06:53:52 Devastator: 80% support conversations, 20% gameplay.
06:54:08 Piecewise: Looking at the images...not big anime tiddy
06:54:11 Devastator: it's all about dem anime tiddys.
06:54:15 Piecewise: has some animated tiddy
06:54:28 Piecewise: also Judy Hopps so appeals to furries
06:54:56 Piecewise: and Mrs Incredible, who is stacked
06:54:57 syv: ...It has animated Judy Hopps tits?
06:55:09 syv: I haven't seen the film, but isn't that character flat...?
06:55:13 Piecewise: no tits, she's just in there
06:55:19 ER: I'd totally play the recent fire emblems if I had a recent nintendo console, btw~
06:55:22 Piecewise: but her being in there is enough
06:55:43 Piecewise: though for true gentlemen, it also has Eve, from Wall-e
06:59:02 Piecewise: I still think Wall-e is probably pixar's best movie overall
06:59:20 Devastator: I find that hypothesis defensable.
06:59:39 Piecewise: I mean, the entire like first 30% has basically no dialog and its still great.
07:00:18 ER: (I barely remember any pixar movies)
07:00:22 Piecewise: Up is good, don't get me wrong, I just think Wall-e is better
07:00:41 Piecewise: maybe because it doesn't start you with a fucking gut punch
07:01:09 ER: Up caused me anguish, which I've been trained to believe indicates good writing
07:01:28 Piecewise: Welcome to your pixar disney movie! DEAAAAATH
07:01:28 syv: Yeah, if a story doesn't hurt you, what's even the point?
07:01:36 Piecewise: DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATH
07:01:45 Piecewise: DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH
07:02:02 ER: just fuck my shit up, writer
07:02:21 syv: Does WALL-E have any cats?
07:03:20 syv: Yeah, didn't think so. Up wins by dint of at least having dogs.
07:03:51 Piecewise: Wall-e has very cute robots
07:04:22 Piecewise: but that massage bot that beats the shit out of people
07:04:41 Devastator: I do have to give the dog some points.
07:05:00 Piecewise: Oh yeah? Well I gotta go to bed
07:05:09 syv: I've never had a robot curl up in my lab and go to sleep.
07:06:31 ER: anyway, don't want to keep crawling out of wreckage? :'(
07:08:54 syv: Oh yeah. >Use power to stop dying, or at least get all the blood off.
07:10:56 ER: lets see, is there a good way to describe this?
07:11:25 ER: the pain goes away very suddenly, as if you've snapped from one state to another.
07:12:16 ER: It's hard to tell because you were just injured and everything feels like overall an improvment, but you might be a little more tired now?
07:12:42 Devastator: so worse than doing nothing, check.
07:13:29 ER: hey
syv, are you playing the same character as
dev?
07:13:59 syv: I'd prefer playing a character with an AA12.
07:14:12 ER: I'm gonna say that
Dev is declining to heal her burnt skin to conserve stamina
07:14:25 syv: Yes, because she's a goblin.
07:14:28 Devastator: dunno,
syv gave the heal orders.
07:14:34 ER: unless you'd like to take that back and live instead~
07:15:24 Devastator: I more meant metaphysically.
07:15:39 Devastator: e dfcvbi uhjmfx908 7mntbsdZyujikl;kj hdfxsfrtyuiop[o uytrfsxdchgjkl;'
07:15:43 ER: Very little of the house you were in before remains, some of it is on fire but you can't bring yourself to care too much about that. Thankfully you two were the only ones in the building.
07:17:02 ER: Outside, the sky is cloudy, with some spots of blue. You don't know what caused the explosion.
07:17:56 ER: She doesn't look very good.
07:18:42 Devastator: I thought there was only one character.
07:19:05 ER: the goblin is still injured.
07:19:25 ER: though she's pretty tough, more like a hobgoblin or something
07:19:27 Devastator: ok, what are the goblin's options?
07:20:10 ER: Your magic feels like it should be used. You have no idea how to accomplish anything specific with it yet, but it yearns to you
07:20:31 Devastator: I'll let it go this once, then.
07:21:39 ER: Your wounds heal. This feels considerably more pleasant.
07:22:59 ER: You both feel something telling you to move, right now.
07:23:08 syv: >Check wreckage for firearm
07:25:01 ER: You have an AA12 already, made from white metal and decorated with squiggly line engravings. The goblin bolts, sailing off to hide in another nearby building.
07:25:45 ER: Before
syv can react, a missile comes down and hits the remains of the building.
07:26:42 ER: You're thrown away from the explosion, and feel some fragments pierce you. You land hard in the dirt, breaking an arm.
07:26:55 Devastator: sneak up towards the launch point.
07:27:11 syv: >Get back up and wreck whoever shot that thing.
07:27:57 syv: >Get back REALLY up, by which I mean fly and/or jump into the air to see.
07:28:53 Devastator: then move in the general direction
07:29:32 ER: sorry, it came from "up", at least from your relative perspective.
07:30:09 Devastator: then climb a building.
07:30:44 ER: Apparently your legs still work. Good start. You tense, feel the magic flow from your core downwards, and leap up into the air. You fly up quite a ways, and when you finally stop find yourself floating down only very slowly.
07:31:02 ER: The goblin finds stairs up to the roof.
07:31:38 syv: >Look around for the missile launch site, or failing that, another missile.
07:32:46 Devastator: enhance my vision with magic, and then look around.
07:33:12 syv: Is that 3d6 plus a d6, or four d6?
07:33:59 ER:
syv: You look down at the ground. All you see are rocks, and trees, and some techicals, and some troops... wait, you thought those were further away. You don't see missiles though. You feel like you're looking the wrong way, really.!
07:34:12 ER: don't question my dice! >;D
07:35:27 syv: >Pepper the technicals and troops with explosive slugs, fired on full auto with one hand!
07:35:35 ER:
Dev: You look up at the sky. Wow, you can see it all in perfect detail at once, including that deadly unmanned vehicle up there.
07:36:25 ER:
syv: Okay. maybe they're pretty far away. They look spooked by the distant gunfire, though.
07:37:00 Devastator: Pick up a rock, and throw it at the drone. Keep an eye out to run if counterattacked.
07:38:40 syv: >Heal the arm and charge at the damn troops, while watching for more missiles.
07:40:16 ER: You pick up a chunk of building material loosened by the explosions and yeet it upwards. The rock makes a crack and rings of mana form around its trail, leaving a straight line from you up into the sky. The UAV seems unbothered, because you missed. Oh look, it just fired another missile at you.
07:41:49 ER:
syv: your arm fixes itself with a nightmare inducing sound, and the other spots where you were perforated by debris heal as well, bonus.
07:42:48 ER:
syv: You point yourself down like a bird and sail towards the random soldiers, screaming.
07:43:06 Devastator: jump to the next building.
07:43:21 syv: >Shoot while continuing to scream!
07:45:37 ER:
Dev: Good call. Your trajectory arcs from the roof of this building to the next, leaving behind the one sceduled to be demolished. Given the oppertunity, you proceed to not look at the explosion, both to look cool and because it hurts your eyes.
07:46:52 Devastator: Pick up another chunk. This time, however, choose one large enough to jump off of. Deliberately miss, but spring up after it, jumping off it mid-air to smash the drone in GLORIOUS MELEE COMBAT.
07:47:29 ER:
syv: Three soldiers literally explode, impossibly volitile projectiles hitting them center mass. Their torsos disappear, leaving heads and limbs to roll off mostly intact. You swoop over, screaming.
07:48:34 syv: >Scream at them to stop shooting me, while continuing to shoot them.
07:49:55 ER:
Dev: you leap over to the wreck of the previous building, and try to lift a large section of destroyed wall. Somehow, you cannot. You actually start to feel tired.
07:52:28 Devastator: Lets just try for the conventional rocks, then. Keep watching for any incoming fire.
07:52:39 ER:
syv: The soldiers react in a soldierlike manner, which is to say they open fucking fire. Rifles, grenade launchers, mounted machine guns... Despite your speed, you see red and crash into the ground, overcome by pain.
07:54:39 syv: >But fleshwarp my internals into a giant frag grenade, while toughening my skull.
07:56:13 ER:
Dev: you pick up another rock. This time will be different. A little bit of magic flows into the rock as well as your body, and you loose it. It flies in an impossible reverse curve and hits the drone directly in the "head", where you presume its brain or whatever is. The rock punches a hole right through and off into space, the drone starts to sail downwards.
07:57:22 ER:
syv: No, that's not what you do. You feel dead, but you scream from the pain. More bullets come from scared soldiers to finish you off.
07:58:12 ER: Your wounds heal on their own, you stand, NEEDING TO ESCAPE. NEEDING TO SURVIVE.
07:59:46 Devastator: Move around to vaguely flank the soldiers attacking my ally. Try to create an illusion attacking from a different side, so the soldiers stop shooting at
syv's character.
08:00:34 syv: >Fuck that, create a shield and keep firing!
08:03:07 ER:
syv: You try to redirect your survival instinct into more murder. It refuses. The magic burst you form in front of you to create a shield fizzles out, providing no protection. The pain resumes, and you feel too exausted to do anything about it. After a couple seconds, you die.
08:05:29 syv: Welp, guess I prooobably shouldn't have gone with a brute force strat in a game descended from PS to any degree.
08:06:25 ER: you failed your survival instincts~
08:07:03 Devastator: "Shouldn't go with brute force in game descended from PS"
08:07:49 ER: lore: most humans who develop magic do so at an old age, in unstessful curcumstances. This leads to magic which does boring things like make illusions or predict the future.
08:09:08 ER: little alien frembd finds war orphans and brute forces magic in them, which leads to a set of priorities more focused on survival and blowsing things up.
08:10:06 ER:
syv gets a second wind to not die in that situation, which expends her remaining stamina. When she doesn't use that power to immediately escape the fight, there's nothing left.
08:29:23 ER: I like hell. I question my ability at the moment
08:34:19 syv: The game is good, and you've ran it very well.
08:34:36 syv: Please don't be worried about your ability, you're more than capable.
08:58:18 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK AT&T!"]
09:14:05 Devastator: I see irony sent you the gas grenades and body armour.
09:14:10 Devastator: you want intel on them now?
