Hello, I'm a new one. Both on this forum and in this ISG. Actually, ISG is the reason I registered - DF doesn't go too good for me yet. Or maybe really good. As of yet, I've (only?) lost 2 forts.
OK, I'm planning to organise profile and note a few thing in the thread once I get enough sleep...
But first a few (relatively) important things.
(And by shiny thing next to the disc I meant compare the plot star to the disc side by side. Oh well.)
Normally don't make OOC comments, but since people have largely given up on it I will say this. It has nothing to do with the plot, it's just that no one here has figured out HOW to use it yet.
Luckily, its use is non-essential so far.
Very interesting moment with a Soul Star. Either the plans for history have changed a lot since 14th page (who would guess?) or the stars aren't really as central to the plot as they seem to be. Again, information is OOC, so it's a bit of a cheat, anyway. And we're no good at Cheating.
Also, this:
What is that? Drop the spider leg and take it.
You call upon your knowledge of the item. (Roll: 8!) Something something about narrative control. Maybe.
even if it looks obvious, seems to suggest the power of the Influx is not as much "Ciro leaps to another body and doesn't remember it" as it is "Control narrative to some degree even without the Oversoul mode".
Or maybe it references Oversoul mode. Hell if I know.
Blood ladder is pure genius. So, +1. Only first make sure we have some blood to form it from and, maybe, fight down there.
I vote for going to save point first and healing Riltia with Al, though. The worst that could happen is that floor might open again, which is easily verifiable and, really, maybe even somewhat better for us.
I would really like SMT-inspired stuff. And if not "Persona-user" as a class or Raidou hat as an item, then Illborn fusion is the next logical option. I vote for
this or, even better,
that as a theme music.
Oh, also, it's kinda strange how Slog likes Al, what with Al being Free Soul and all that. Mercenary honor? Blurble-induced hate-plague immunity?
I will try to think about the questions too, but: 1) Wouldn't it be neat if someone gave us a full list of posts by freeformschooler so we could easily reread the whole thing without hundreds of suggestions and arguments in-between? I can even try to do that... Slowly, reluctantly, with massive dramas after each organised part, in bad English... No, it's not an advertisement, it's a warning! 2) As with souls, I think we should focus on the souls that we have doubts about and check out specifically them. And by the way, really, FFS, how many souls do you count as "seen"? How many exactly can we figure out at this point?
Thanks for your attention. Sorry for large amounts of text - my wit either has lost its soul even longer ago than Ciro or never had it in the first place.
