00:18:03 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
00:27:14 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
00:27:58 syv: Thought: If possessing too much mana is dangerous, could a servant get the Magic word just by consuming a LOT of mana and letting it sit inside them?
00:28:16 Devastator: hey syv.
00:28:22 syv: *Ascetic
00:28:26 syv: hey dev.
00:29:08 Devastator: That's an idea.
00:29:14 Devastator: "You get Contain"
00:29:16 Devastator: "Dammit"
00:29:30 Devastator: I think when Oz ate magicoal it lead to learning 'break'
00:30:02 syv: "Contain" isn't really the dangerous thing, though.
00:30:10 syv: That'd be like drowning and learning "esophagus".
00:30:11 Devastator: No.
00:30:19 Devastator: it'd be tough to get Contain as an Ascetic.
00:30:26 Devastator: get thrown into an oubliette?
00:30:58 syv: "Thirst" probably isn't a word, so maybe.
00:31:12 syv: I'd put money on "deterioration" or something similar, though/
00:31:16 Devastator: I'd assume someone would feed you for that.
00:31:49 syv: ...Trachea.
00:32:22 Devastator: "Tube"
00:32:32 syv: "Viscera"
00:32:35 Devastator: anyway, posted in Cabal, if you're up for RP or something.
00:32:55 Devastator: Also, with the plot discoveries, one of the words RC and co found was "Ichor" which was "Blood of the gods."
00:32:56 syv: Ehhhh
00:33:01 syv: Lemme looj
00:33:18 syv: I think someone in Zerthel Zentol got ichor, way back when.
00:33:29 syv: Either that, it it was just in a later version of Perplexicon.
00:33:50 Devastator: yeah, I asked PW about it years ago.
00:34:17 Devastator: And surviv makes people register-ish now.
00:34:32 syv: No anon playing?
00:35:16 syv: Does it require external confirmation, email etc, or can you just give a throwaway name/pass and be good?
00:35:33 Devastator: no, nothing like that.
00:35:51 Devastator: you can just play fine, but they give you a name and track stuff for you.
00:36:12 syv: Ahh. To help stoke addiction.
00:37:21 Devastator: presumably.
00:37:36 Devastator: and to keep unregistered players from being unnoted, maybe. ;-p
00:37:44 Devastator: but it might have been required for some feature update.
00:39:06 syv: Uses cookies, I presume?
00:39:14 Devastator: I haven't checked.
00:39:20 Devastator: might be to enforce bans for all I know.
00:39:43 syv: Seems doubtful to me.
00:39:54 syv: Forcing registration would help with that.
00:40:13 syv: Just forcing names and stats? Nah.
00:40:36 syv: They could just track that internally with no apparent change.
00:41:09 syv: Probably have been, actually.
00:43:29 syv: The gold from the sold bot is mine, right?
00:44:05 Devastator: yup, that's yours.
00:44:18 syv: Hum. Maybe I should have sold some of the design notes.
00:44:39 syv: Ekrov has a big section on his sheet full of sketches, which is probably justifiably not all of his sketches.
00:45:14 syv: It'd be pretty reasonable to copy a bunch of them and sell *that*.
00:45:57 Devastator: up to you. Have enough money for the estate.
00:46:06 syv: ...Man, why didn't I sketch the clockwork fighter that he spent a week disassembling?
00:46:17 syv: *flier
00:47:28 syv: How much more/less money did you get than you expected?
00:51:14 Devastator: pretty comparable overall.
00:51:21 Devastator: fewer art objects sold, but the guns sold better.
00:51:38 Devastator: I'll try again for a few more when we leave, probably.
00:52:07 Devastator: we got more than the minimum, but an extra few thousand will probably be taken by extras.
01:03:21 syv: Can I add an action to learn Japanese from Saeko over the next few days?
01:03:44 syv: A lot of time is being passed on relatively mundane actions, and this is something that I'd like to get done at some point.
01:03:53 Devastator: Sure.
01:04:03 Devastator: I don't know enough to RP that.
01:07:22 Devastator: unless you want a line on the alphabets.
01:09:23 syv: Nah.
01:09:36 syv: I just want it because it's useful to have a full language as an IC code.
01:10:12 Devastator: Hmm.
01:10:14 syv: Was gonna use it for the robots too, since I don't want to rely only on their ability to recognize Ekrov/Saeko
01:10:15 Devastator: Piecewise_
01:10:18 Devastator: Is that okay to do that?
01:10:27 Devastator: I mean, technically we're creating something without a roll.
01:10:41 Devastator: otoh, it'll be a roll by kno-boy there to learn it.
01:10:43 Devastator: that enough?
01:11:11 syv: He let me roll to have to just pop into Ekrov's brain, before.
01:11:16 syv: *have it
01:11:42 Devastator: ahh, ok.
01:11:44 Devastator: should be good then.
01:11:52 syv: So I imagine it's fine, probably just a mid difficulty roll. Only arguable way it's unfair is Saeko already knowing it, anyway.
01:12:22 syv: And at worst that would require a few rolls which have no real penalty for failure, even if she knew nothing.
01:13:44 Devastator: yeah, hence asking.
01:13:54 Devastator: until now her 'knowing it' has had no in-game effect.
01:13:57 Devastator: so didn't worry.
01:14:20 Devastator: plus I should poke PW about those orders, anyway.
01:20:30 Piecewise_: huh wha
01:20:50 syv: Cabal Qs
01:20:54 Devastator: just gonna use the 'japanese' thing as code by teaching Ekrov.
01:21:03 Devastator: but it'd be an in-game advantage, so, is it kosher?
01:21:21 Devastator: Also, posted the stage 1 orders. The spells ok?
01:21:48 syv: Saeko is Japanese in her backstory. I want to use Japanese as an IC code language shared by only Ekrov and Saeko. It will be used as the command language for robots.
01:22:03 syv: However, this means Saeko already knows the code language with no know rolls.
01:22:13 syv: Is this legal?
01:25:16 syv: Piecewise_?
01:25:49 syv is now known as sy
01:26:34 Piecewise_: Japanese ok
01:26:40 Piecewise_: orders I'll have to look
01:27:09 sy: Can I ask about the price of buying words right now, or are you too tired
01:27:10 sy: ?
01:27:25 sy: I'd like to know the price of "Feline", since you offered buying it outright.
01:28:27 Piecewise_: Yeah looks fine
01:30:55 Piecewise_: Well, what you would basically be doing is hiring someone to track it down for you, so it would depend on a roll how quick they manage. So the cost could be small or large. Based on roll statistics though...probably around 75 gold
01:31:32 Piecewise_: I could roll it now if you like
01:31:39 sy: Uh. Damn. Is there any penalty to that, like lower die size?
01:31:48 sy: Because yeah, 75 gold for a targeted word is amazing.
01:32:02 sy: HEY DEVASTATOR
01:32:04 Devastator: oh man, hiring people to track down words.
01:32:10 Devastator: for 75 gold? In an instant.
01:32:35 Devastator: hell, I'd add a dozen at that rate.
01:32:38 sy: Yeah, cool. Roll it plox. Unless you're having second thoughts about handing that to us~
01:32:49 Devastator: don't think you want that, so just go with feline for now.
01:32:57 Devastator: ;-p
01:33:17 sy: Yeah, my immediate thought is "can we do this for any word? Just leave the city with Magic, Human, Mind, and Machine?"
01:34:30 Piecewise_: Nah, with invokers there's still the level of the word to worry about remember?
01:34:46 Piecewise_: they're cheaper because of that
01:35:09 Piecewise_: if you specifically want to search feline d12, thats more expensive
01:35:30 Piecewise_: or you can just play word pachiko and hope it works
01:35:48 Devastator: Mmm, not sure if d4 is enough.
01:35:54 Devastator: could just cast it many times.
01:35:58 Devastator: eh, go with the pachinko.
01:36:10 Devastator: I'll be doing that one seperate from any others, most likely anyway.
01:36:25 Devastator: I'd love magic, but others are good too.
01:36:31 sy: Still, even 300 for a targeted word is good, and four checks would be *very* likely to get a usably high size. Or four different words. And 300 is the alternative to starting with one bonus mat. I guess the bonus mat works for all classes though, and we are in Alkahest, so it's still decently fair.
01:36:43 sy: So yes, pay 75 for feline pachinko.
01:37:09 Piecewise_: Heh
01:37:21 Piecewise_: so you kind of defied odds there
01:37:41 Piecewise_: It ended up being 275 for feline d6
01:37:59 Devastator: totally pay it in an instant.
01:38:03 Devastator: still don't need it until stage 2.
01:38:06 Devastator: and won't do that in the city.
01:38:08 Piecewise_: Okie dokie
01:38:31 Piecewise_: make sure to subtract that from your vast gold reserves
01:38:44 Devastator: I will. I'll be rewriting the char sheet after stage 1, anyway.
01:38:46 sy: Can I take the hints too? ;P
01:38:53 Devastator: gotta simplify it too.
01:39:24 sy: "Alternatively, you can just get some clues."
01:39:34 Piecewise_: Ah ok
01:39:43 Piecewise_: Still for feline or another word?
01:40:21 sy: For feline, yes. D6 is small, and IIRC you can smush two d6s together and get a higher size.
01:40:46 Piecewise_: Lets see
01:42:03 sy: Oh, hell. Did the 275 cost get the *word jade*, or just the *word*, transferred from another mage?
01:42:16 Piecewise_: word transfered
01:42:33 sy: Ahhh
01:42:45 Devastator: That's fine, I'll buy kno +3 too, that'll do the extra slot.
01:42:53 Devastator: enough mana for that.
01:43:02 Piecewise_: Well thanks to some good rolls, the hint you get is that there is a jade statue out in the desert near Balneum Mariae of a giant feline that is supposed to have the word for feline carved on it. Supposed to be north somewhere of the oasis
01:43:24 Devastator: giant.. jade statue of feline.
01:43:29 Devastator: Hey Ekrov, you still have animate, right?
01:43:34 Devastator: that sounds like a good trap.
01:43:46 Devastator: we could pick that up later, I guess. ;-p
01:44:20 sy: Woo
01:44:50 sy: I'm gonna name it Guenhwyvar.
01:45:26 Devastator: might be nice in the vault room.
01:45:42 Devastator: put an animate trap on it, say, or you have to put mana in to unlock the door, which also animates the statue.
01:45:52 Devastator: statue attacks not us.
01:46:51 sy has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
01:47:17 sy has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:49:52 sy: (Devastator) statue attacks not us.
01:49:56 sy: I like this plan.
01:50:07 Devastator: yeah, that was it.
01:50:21 Devastator: put lock on vault that takes mana, which activates the lock, and the statue.
01:50:27 sy: It also works well with Saeko having an evil castle/dungeon with the obligatory encounters for adventurers to fight.
01:50:35 Devastator: of course, being a cat it'll probably sleep on the door or something. ;-p
01:52:46 Devastator: since it'd be only temporary, should be fine.
01:54:00 sy: Posted.
01:54:34 sy: Wonder if using the powered armor will require another enchant for a climate control system.
01:54:40 Devastator: dunno.
01:54:42 Devastator: thanks PW.'
01:54:44 Devastator: thanks syv.
01:54:52 sy: Thankee Dubs
01:55:04 sy: You may go sleep now, or whatever it is you do at this hour.
01:56:00 sy: Active mechanic moving a heavy load + human body + extended use, under three layers of metal, probably means a lot of heat.
01:56:05 Piecewise_: Its only 7pm right now
01:56:22 Piecewise_: But I do generally go to bed at about 9 or 10 because I'm an old man
01:56:27 sy: Plus, upgrading it into an outright environment suit would be useful.
01:56:57 sy: It's 10 PM here, but my schedule is eternally shifting, and most of the people I interact with are on other continents.
01:57:14 Devastator: That's an idea.
01:57:25 Devastator: be good to have something for spaaace.
01:57:27 sy: Sometimes I forget that there's internet people in the same country as me.
01:57:30 Devastator: should we go back there at some point.
01:57:42 sy: Is it even a question whether we'll go back?
01:57:44 Devastator: I think all of us are on this one, actually.
01:57:50 Devastator: yeah, it's a question.
01:57:58 sy: Egan and MJ too.
01:58:31 sy: But that's, like, 100% of the north americans I regularly interact with online.
01:58:56 Devastator: ahh.
01:59:07 Devastator: and I'm clealry different, being from the other side.
02:06:20 Devastator: well, I hope d6 is enough, but if it takes several spells, that'll just make PW have to describe more furry intermediate stages. ;-p
02:18:59 Piecewise_: you'd just love that wouldn't you~
02:19:24 Devastator: You wouldn't anyway.
02:19:34 Devastator: you'd just say 'it takes x spells to arrive at your destination.'
02:20:23 Devastator: oh, one more question, Piecewise_
02:20:35 Piecewise_: ok
02:20:37 Devastator: I want to cast spells to refit the armour when done, including covering the wings this time.
02:20:42 Devastator: instead of just having holes.
02:20:58 Piecewise_: ie you want it to change with you?
02:21:11 Devastator: No, want to take it off first, but I'll cast those when finished.
02:21:19 Devastator: so it'll fit at the end.
02:21:28 Piecewise_: Ah
02:21:37 Devastator: but covering the wings seems cumbersome, although it'll have the advantage of being layered several times.
02:21:48 Devastator: can I add a die size when not flying, for say +2 encumberance?
02:22:03 Devastator: and with the new cloth word, can I have it like have zippers, in case I want to enchant pieces of it later?
02:22:17 Piecewise_: zippers sure
02:22:24 Piecewise_: let me think here
02:24:06 Devastator: zippers are also because I can't think of a practical way to put it on and remove it without them. ;-p
02:24:17 sy: Velcro?
02:24:25 sy: Hook-and-loop?
02:24:27 Devastator: that could work, but the wings are feathered.
02:24:37 Devastator: velcro and feathers don't mix.
02:24:52 sy: Maaaagic velcro?
02:25:04 sy: Magnets?
02:25:19 sy: Actually, magnets would be pretty good, hrm.
02:25:20 Devastator: magnets are an idea.
02:25:39 Devastator: might have that for the spirit platemail which will go over the torso later.
02:25:54 Devastator: torsos.
02:26:00 Piecewise_: I can't even find anything about encumbrance in the rules
02:26:13 Devastator: it was 'you can't wear armour with a die size higher than your modified endurance.'
02:26:17 sy: I think he meant the required endurance system.
02:26:19 sy: Yeah.
02:26:26 Devastator: and heavy endurance can make things like climbing harder.
02:26:34 sy: So he'd have d10 armor which requires d12 end.
02:26:49 Devastator: I was thinking 2 die sizes.
02:26:52 Devastator: so +4, really.
02:26:58 Devastator: ie, d4 would be d8.
02:27:03 Devastator: since wings, flying, etc.
02:27:03 sy: ...Jeez, why?
02:27:09 Devastator: very large surface area.
02:27:27 sy: Well, it's your penalty.
02:27:50 Devastator: Yeah, plus.. flying. Wouldn't help with airflow.
02:27:56 Devastator: which is a part of winged flight.
02:28:10 Piecewise_: For growing your armor like that....d8 probably, assuming you have a relevant word
02:28:31 Devastator: I have d12 enlarge, d8 bird, d10 steel, and d12 cloth.
02:28:40 Piecewise_: so yeah d8
02:28:44 Devastator: so that's not the hard part, just asking if making it into two pieces is possible.
02:28:48 Devastator: thanks.
02:29:02 Piecewise_: and yeah, it should be possible
02:29:08 Devastator: neat.
02:29:24 Devastator: I'll have to magic dye it all red for the class-change too.
02:29:40 Devastator: because final fantasy.
02:30:47 Devastator: should we RP it?
02:32:06 sy: I am willing to attempt to vomit words at a subject, but am currently operating at substandard efficiency, and am not aware of what specific thing would be arrpeed.
02:33:03 Devastator: eh, just explaining why doing the mana transfer and the stat-ups.
02:33:15 Devastator: could save the uncomfortable out of the room stuff for later.
02:33:32 Devastator: but damn third eye Ekrov, getting around anime awkwardness every day.
02:34:05 sy: I am perfectly fine with that, but you'd need to initiate.
02:34:20 sy: You want me to remove that line? :\
02:34:59 sy: Ekrov would still be awkward as hell, and the eye is neither sufficient to operate on alone, nor different enough to remove all awkwardness.
02:35:14 Devastator: Nah, it's fine.
02:35:27 Devastator: I'll initiate it, just thinking of where to start.
02:35:53 sy: IMO from a writing perspective it manages to score both the humor of a blindfolded person, as well as the default awkwardness. Two birds, one eye made of solid stone.
02:36:09 Devastator: Considering one of the japanese alphabets is specifically for stealing words from other fictional languages, it'd be even weirder.
02:36:10 Devastator: so might do that.
02:39:09 Devastator: ok.
02:39:22 Devastator: gonna start with asking about that word that was found, setting it after getting the +3s.
02:39:46 Devastator: posted.
02:40:19 Devastator: or just before.
02:43:50 sy: It occurs to me that the guy who was named "Brain" in Overlord was probably supposed to be named "Blain", and it was just mistranslated.
02:44:44 Devastator: I like Brain.
02:44:51 Devastator: Brain Unglaus is a much better name.
02:48:23 sy: Blain is an actual name, though.
02:48:23 sy: Posted.
02:48:44 sy: I'm just making up something that sounds likely. Highly doubt it'll matter.
02:50:08 Devastator: Yeah, sounds fine.
02:53:32 sy is now known as syv
03:02:38 Devastator: god, this is like stupid.
03:02:46 Devastator: ;-p
03:02:49 Devastator: I'll get through it.
03:04:54 syv shrugs
03:04:58 syv: You requested it.
03:05:17 syv: Or suggested, I suppose.
03:05:50 Devastator: posted.
03:05:55 Devastator: and yeah, this is stupid.
03:06:02 Devastator: Last RP session, probably. ;-p
03:09:02 syv: sadness
03:09:43 Devastator: eh, for now.
03:15:26 Piecewise_: Brain and Blain mix up is understandable
03:15:41 Piecewise_: Considering how japanese works
03:16:18 Devastator: Brain is a better name.
03:16:30 Devastator: it's like the only one I can remember.
03:18:20 Devastator: I can't remember the captain's name, for instance.
03:18:26 Devastator: or Yandere Princess.
03:18:44 Devastator: I do remember the kid, but only because Climb is a stupid name.
03:18:48 Devastator: maybe he should have been Crimb.
03:20:01 syv: I always called him Crime.
03:20:09 syv: Posted, Devastator.
03:20:20 syv: Say my name when you post.
03:21:44 Devastator: ok.
03:21:46 Devastator: sorry.
03:22:49 syv: No need to apologize, it's more for your benefit than mine...
03:25:58 Devastator: Ekrov wasn't there for the robot airship crash, right, syv?
03:26:07 syv: He was not.
03:26:18 syv: He did loot the ship, though.
03:26:23 syv: And cut most of it apart.
03:31:01 Devastator: posted, syv
03:34:03 syv: Okay
03:34:21 Devastator: gotta lay on that guilt.
03:36:00 syv: Any goal for where this convo should go?
03:36:08 Devastator: not really.
03:36:28 Devastator: might end it with asking him to be on hand tomorrow, could talk about the blindfolds, could just end it somewhere else.
03:37:03 syv: Mm, okay. Just asking because it helps me to have a destination in mind for character RP. But it's not necessary.
03:38:04 Devastator: anywhere you want it to go?
03:45:55 syv: Posted.
03:46:04 syv: I am too dumb right now for that, no.
03:46:37 Devastator: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/premature
03:47:40 syv: I don't get it.
03:47:57 syv: Alt text made me laugh though
03:48:13 Devastator: they're about to have sex.
03:48:37 Devastator: dude is premature, which means he.. ejaculates too early, before there's time to have fun.
03:48:59 Devastator: dude is so premature, he apparently does it, say, 10 years before they have sex. ;-p
03:50:00 syv: No, I understood that. Didn't get how it was linked to the conversation. Then I hit latest and started going backwards, and realized it was just a recent comic.
03:50:02 Devastator: is ekrov getting a pet bot?
03:50:06 syv: Also the joke is dumb.
03:50:09 Devastator: it isn't related to the conversation.
03:50:13 syv: Ekrov is getting a lot of pet bots.
03:50:19 Devastator: and most of SMBC is dumb jokes.
03:50:40 syv: Some of them are dumb philosophy jokes though.
03:50:44 syv: And those are wonderful.
03:52:30 syv: Dumb graph jokes too.
03:54:35 Devastator: any dumb graph jokes with philosophy?
03:54:41 Devastator: philosophical graph jokes.
03:56:25 syv: Yes. They're the golden ones. The golden mean ones.
04:01:12 syv: And now the last messages were yesterday.
04:01:35 syv: Just imagine how terrible it'd be to talk in IRC to someone on Mars.
04:02:24 syv: "Yeah, we'll do the thing this Saturday." "What day is it today, again?"
04:02:41 Devastator: March 12th.
04:02:44 Devastator: What's march?
04:02:48 Devastator: posted, syv.
04:05:10 syv: Saeko comes from Animeme Japan.
04:05:47 syv: Hrm.
04:06:04 syv: Only half-recall what Dubs said about animal people in Cabal Country.
04:06:11 Devastator: I forget.
04:06:27 Devastator: but they're common enough in FF and anime, so wouldn't be that unreasonable for her to have seen them.
04:06:44 syv: Wizards who do that kinda thing aren't unknown, but are considered weirdos, IIRC.
04:07:00 syv: Moreso the more severe.
04:07:46 syv: I think it was also more of an old wizards thing, from when magic was plentiful and you didn't need to worry about the cost of m
04:08:04 syv: of changing yourself massively.
04:08:18 Devastator: yeah.
04:08:29 Devastator: quite a lot of magic atm.
04:09:01 syv: Ekrov's still a normie who's upset at his crush being a furry.
04:09:45 Devastator shrugs
04:10:13 Devastator: nah, I think next character I play will be either a normie or one of the power luddites like I usually play.
04:10:20 Devastator: 'who needs this junk'
04:10:42 Devastator: I think the next game up is Coven 2, if that happens.
04:10:45 Devastator: I hope NJW is ok.
04:12:30 Devastator: and eh, it isn't really 'furry', more 'turning into a monstrous power junkie.'
04:12:43 Devastator: ala most end bosses.
04:16:57 syv: Posted.
04:17:38 syv: Honestly turning yourself into a catbird is a pretty furry thing to do.
04:18:21 syv: It's really hard to argue that it's a straight route to power, unless your definition of power boils down to being a large animal.
04:18:45 Devastator: it is, though.
04:18:57 Devastator: magic is based partly on your physical capabilities.
04:19:04 Devastator: more capable, better magic.
04:19:20 Devastator: it's almost certainly far and away the easiest way to get d20 stats.
04:19:26 syv: Of which... two line up with your transformations.
04:19:38 Devastator: yeah. Str, End, and possibly speed.
04:20:03 syv: End is pretty strong, I suppose.
04:20:20 Devastator shrugs
04:20:24 Devastator: do you have a better route?
04:20:30 Devastator: other than just snorting ALL THE MAGICOAL.
04:21:08 syv looks over at Ekrov's clockwork soldiers and FERROUS MEMENTO, THE MEMORY SKULL
04:21:38 syv: (Mostly joking with that)
04:22:34 Devastator: clockwork soldiers are good.
04:22:40 Devastator: but not so much to personal power.
04:22:44 syv: I do suspect the power armor is a better route to being a combat glacier, but it doesn't have the synergy with buffing magic which Saeko's trying for.
04:22:46 Devastator: the memory skull could be.
04:22:51 Devastator: Yeah.
04:22:56 Devastator: Plus, well, it's a chassis.
04:23:04 Devastator: could easily add temp buffs TO the base unit.
04:23:10 Devastator: much harder on a complex piece of machinery.
04:23:28 syv: I don't think that's true.
04:23:45 syv: In Ekrov's case I think it might be easier.
04:23:55 syv: It's certainly safer.
04:24:14 syv: Robots aren't going to mutate if I make them magically swole.
04:24:37 Devastator: yeah, but they need constant magic to stay swole.
04:25:05 syv: No, actually.
04:25:33 syv: If I create permanent physical changes to them, then those stay forever. Just like summoning mundane metal or items.
04:25:49 syv: It's magical buffs that make them more than mundane which have costs.
04:25:53 Devastator: mmm, I didn't think that applied to constant stuff.
04:26:19 Devastator: or robots. Thought those mainsprings didn't work with that.
04:26:41 syv: Zero magic is involved in the running of the robots. They're 100% mundane.
04:27:01 Devastator: mmm.
04:27:06 syv: Using magic to create more mundane robots, or modify their design into a different mundane robot, should maintain that trait.
04:27:10 Devastator: end it here, or go on to the if you peek I'll murder you scene?
04:27:52 syv: I figure the nudity scene is better done after the context of it is determined, I.E. after next turn.
04:28:00 syv: But I'unno. Whatever you like.
04:29:04 Devastator: ok, I'll end it here.
04:29:08 syv: I like these characters.
04:29:16 Devastator: and do a hug, before having her return to her room alone.
04:29:19 Devastator: there.
04:29:21 syv: Ekrov is fun to think through. And Saeko is cool.
04:29:56 Devastator: posted syv.
04:30:04 Devastator: Ekrov is interesting.
04:30:23 syv: I think I'll leave that as the last post.
04:30:38 syv: Could write some trite "Ekrov smiles stupidly then leaves", but it's unnecessary.
04:31:02 syv: He's interesting?
04:31:30 syv: Not a term I'd use for him, he's a bit too mundane for it IMO.
04:32:07 Devastator: eh, I can like mundane.
04:32:13 syv: Luddite.
04:32:14 Devastator: Saeko's like out there for me.
04:32:28 Devastator: I can play her, but Ekrov's more my usual style.
04:33:02 syv: Nah, he's not risky or flashy enough.
04:33:41 syv: Cosmetically, perhaps, but playstyle/mechanics wise Saeko is very much more your kind of character.
04:34:14 Devastator: playstyle/mechanics wise is all me regardless of character.
04:34:18 Devastator: I can't turn that off.
04:35:19 Devastator: oh, changed my orders in PS.
04:35:28 syv: I noticed.
04:35:43 Devastator: just thought I'd make sure.
04:35:52 syv: Probably for the best.
04:35:58 Devastator: Having Tooru call for help means not to waste time.
04:36:01 syv: And yeah, it's a good idea to point that out.
04:36:06 Devastator: besides, might delay the witch by calling her out.
04:36:20 Devastator: I'm sure some ritualesque behavior might delay her a bit.
04:36:27 syv: I am annoyed that I let y'all blind shout communicate.
04:36:36 syv: I should have said no to that.
04:36:52 Devastator: It's not quite.
04:36:58 Devastator: Pumsy said Tooru was in here.
04:37:31 syv: I can still say "no comms"
04:37:51 syv: The usual rule in the past has been thst you're aware of the relative location of the other character.
04:38:00 Devastator: ok.
04:38:02 Devastator: whoops
04:38:08 syv: And labyrinths are fucky, dimensionally they're very nonlinear.
04:38:35 syv: There's a few noneuclidean looping edges even in this one
04:39:14 syv: But eh, Pumsy kinda/sorta broke the rule first, and I did specifically let you choose to communicate, so whatever.
04:39:32 Devastator: ..yeah he did.
04:39:34 Devastator: eh.
04:39:39 Devastator: can still change that in another lab.
04:39:47 Devastator: witches can have weird powers.
04:40:02 Devastator: magic is bullshit after all.
04:40:08 syv: This one has nothing that blocks comms.
04:40:51 syv: If it were just you, yes I'd probably retcon that.
04:41:27 syv: But Chev is relying on those comms here, and I've already piled too much shit on her.
04:41:49 Devastator: Yeah, that's a lot of stuff.
04:41:56 syv: So no, not gonna retcon something to be even worse for her, even if I think it's better.
04:42:06 Devastator: There must be some hope!
04:42:17 Devastator: but yeah, having a good reason to get the lead out and arrive sooner should work.
04:42:26 Devastator: I do hope CC3 wolves can just mash these familiars.
05:30:51 syv: If you see ER tonight, can you bug him to update Vijiriwek?
05:32:20 Devastator: Ok.
05:32:46 syv: Thaaanks.
05:33:28 syv: ...Ugh, I still have barely peeked at Infinite Kowloon.
05:33:36 syv: I really need to work on that.
05:33:41 syv: Too much stuff.
05:35:15 Devastator: heh.

23:39:59 ER: i am
23:40:01 syv: hey dev.
23:40:06 syv: Fast on the draw today.
23:40:12 syv: You are?
23:40:31 Devastator: I usually check back every few minutes.
23:40:38 Devastator: it's pretty random how close I am to someone.
23:41:04 ER: I. AM.
23:41:09 syv: I like Dustan's action.
23:41:15 Devastator: hello AM.
23:41:49 ER: well I don't cause it means I don't get to do tome bullshit to you D:
23:42:02 ER: also who knows how grappling works lol
23:42:11 syv: "Mallo isn't stupid." then "Run into the middle of the firefight and try to take the person who's on a second story balcony hostage."
23:42:24 ER: no, not that one
23:42:31 ER: book is on the ground
23:42:47 Devastator: tome bullshit?
23:42:54 syv: Oh. That makes is slightly less bullshit.

23:44:00 syv: Why'd I write bullshit? Stupid.
23:44:05 ER: stoopid
23:44:12 Devastator: ER wrote bullshit.
23:44:19 ER: you read the rest of unsounded yet, stoopid?
23:44:24 syv: No.
23:44:29 syv: I haven't read any in months.
23:44:41 syv: I'm not sure if I've even played DaS in months.
23:44:42 ER: sad!

23:44:59 Devastator: want to play ch3f?

23:45:12 Devastator: overcooked?
23:45:21 ER: chlef
23:46:23 syv: Do you think it'll be playable over fairly poor satellite?
23:46:33 syv: I'll try if you want, but... yeah.
23:47:01 Devastator: can wait for the other day.
23:47:18 Devastator: you run around, slam into each other, and serve food.
23:47:22 syv: Don't work until this Sunday.
23:47:23 Devastator: when you don't fall to your doom or something.
23:47:30 syv: 28 hours from now.
23:48:01 syv: Naturegirl is such an idiot.
23:48:42 syv: It'd be interesting to run Perplexicon with her.
23:49:01 syv: She's got ths right kinda thinky mindset, except she's just so bad at at.
23:49:32 ER: an int build with bad int~
23:51:55 syv: ...That would be a fun character.
23:52:28 syv: Play a wizard with 10 int, who's actually a child, and who believes they'll be an awesome powerful archmage some day.
23:53:06 syv: They can only cast cantrips because of low int, but get all the other (near useless) benefits.
23:53:27 syv: And then the party stacks +int items on you and ruins the point, but oh well.
23:54:36 ER: well, I have had at least one annoying experince with someone playing a dumbass wizard child
23:57:51 Devastator: bad?
