RL: Continue to actually understand jack shit.

To quote Blade, "I see what you did there."

I actually didn't see what I did there until you pointed it out. Well done.

[Blade Master Model 42]

You two are free to talk about what went down while Danielle and Alex were out of the room, you know. Might help Danielle understand, or come close to doing so?

Spoiler: What (click to show/hide)

[04:47] -- ragingLunatic [RL] began pestering kineticMoonlight [KM] at 16:47 --
[04:47] KM: Oh, there you are.
[04:47] RL: yeah.
[04:48] RL: what in tarnation is going on over here>?
[04:49] KM: I got what I wanted. I captured the Dersite, convinced him at boltpoint to let me follow along, set off a false explosive alarm and am now waiting for Alex to salvage some C4.
[04:49] RL: So that... whatever it was wasn't you?
[04:49] KM: Whatever what was?
[04:49] RL: The tingly thing
[04:49] KM: Hm. I didn't notice anything.
[04:49] KM: What about Alex?
[04:50] RL: Didn't seem to be his fault, but he noticed it too
[04:50] KM: Maybe it has something to do with the glitch or the timestreams.
[04:51] RL: Yeah, it's probably just weird game shit.
[04:51] KM: Perhaps I was a bit too busy being a jerk to the poor Dersite to notice my skin crawling or whatever.
[04:51] RL: Speaking of which, why'd you ahve to go and threaten the poor guy?
[04:51] RL: He seemed cooperative enough when I was over here.
[04:52] KM: He had a disagreement threshold. I asked him to lead me to the Archagent and he wouldn't. Then he said he would run away if I let him down, which understandable, but incompatible with my plans.
[04:53] KM: which was*
[04:53] RL: I... guess that makes sense.
[04:53] RL: Still feels like something weird happened, though.
[04:54] KM: Do you have a problem with me, Danielle?
[04:54] RL: Whu?
[04:54] RL: Not really?
[04:54] KM: You've been very hesitant ever since we all met up. Are you scared or something?
[04:55] RL: ....
[04:55] RL: I'm... not entirely sure, actually.
[04:55] KM: What do you mean?
[04:55] RL: I'm kind of focused on getting through this game with as little bullshit and bloodshed as we can
[04:56] RL: But that pretty much means I'm throwing my 'feeling' and such aside to make things go faster
[04:56] KM: That's it? What happens we win, then? Do you plan to start being a real person again?
[04:56] RL: plus I'm sort of trying to make sure Alex doesn't go off again and kill us all
[04:57] RL: .....I dunno.
[04:58] RL: But right now, we've got bigger fish to fry than my emotional issues
[04:59] RL: Like finding a gate, figuring out what's up with these Dersites, and winning, however the hell we're supposed to do that
[04:59] KM: Heh. I envy you. I can't just put my emotions on the shelf. Every time I see something going wrong on our path through this game, I flip my shit. I think it's kind of making me awful.
[05:00] RL: Well, you're not awful.
[05:00] RL: A bit harsh at times, perhaps, but not awful.
[05:01] KM: Thanks. I guess I should tell you what my plan is anyway so that you're not just following along for no reason.
[05:01] RL: Just remember - if something were to go so wrong that we died, then Troy would probably have some weird time shit to undo it.
[05:01] RL: That'd be helpful, yeah.
[05:03] KM: The Archagent - or whoever's above him, perhaps a king or queen - along with his consorts like this guy here, seem to have their own plans that conflict with "players win the game". I want to get to our highest ranking Dersite enemy, slaughter or incapacitate his lessers and force him to lead us to winning the game.
[05:04] RL: whlie that plan seems good, I think I see a bit of a flaw.
[05:04] KM: What's that?
[05:04] RL: This game has already tried to kill us multiple times, correct?>
[05:04] KM: Indeed.
[05:05] RL: What makes you think that the archagent, who is likely the end boss or very close to it, is going to fall to us so easily?
[05:06] RL: They managed to capture and murder Alex's brother, whom they charged with at least 10 Dersite killings, probably more.
[05:06] RL: I think we're going to need some serious firepower before we go after the end-game Dersites.
[05:06] KM: Alex's brother was one person. Besides, I'm not planning to barge right into Derse and say HEY HEY HEY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HERE. I'm going to try to figure out how to get the Archagent on his own.
[05:08] KM: That's why capturing a Dersite was important. I need to draw the higher-ranking Dersites out through him so we can take them down one by one.
[05:09] RL: Well, my gut is still saying it's probably a good idea to find some serious weapons before we try anything with Derse's higher-ups.
[05:09] RL: But if you're sure it will work, then I'm going to trust you.
[05:09] RL: You are the Seer, after all.
[05:09] KM: I think we could meet a happy medium, actually.
[05:09] RL: ?
[05:10] KM: As long as the Dersite here stays within our radius, we can probably afford to hunt for those artifacts.
[05:10] KM: I'll need to create some way to hold him other than just picking him up, though.
[05:10] RL: I guess we could find some rope or something?
[05:11] KM: Maybe some kind of... captchalogue cage.
[05:12] RL: What did you have in mind for this cage?
[05:13] KM: I haven't thought through it yet, but the sylladex itself is incredibly powerful. If I could somehow harness that to create a cage I could trap or un-trap the dersite from at will, it would be perfect.
[05:13] RL: Well, I'll see if I can get any shit out of my sylladex that could help.
[05:14] KM: It can wait 'til we're back to one of our houses. Hm... I wonder which gate is the closest from here?
[05:14] RL: Beats me.
[05:15] RL: Probably the one at Claire's house.
[05:15] KM: Either way, it looks like Alex has spent too long looking for the stuff. Why don't we see what he's found?
[05:15] RL: Sounds good.
[05:15] -- kineticMoonlight [KM] ceased pestering ragingLunatic [RL] at 17:15 --

>Mimi: See what he's found.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I don't even want to know what is up with the name for that pesterlog.

Just as the pair go to check on Alex, a bag is thrown out of the water, and onto the walkway around the aquatic entrance to the temple.

Alex surfaces and captchalogues his scuba gear. "FOUND IT. THIS BAG KIND OF BLENDS IN WITH THE SEA FLOOR, Y'KNOW."

"WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE DERSITE?"

[freeformschooler]

I don't either, but like I told Theros, it's probably my bro trolling me. It's what I get when I leave my laptop open I guess. Sometimes when I'm in a livestream he'll join in and pretend to be someone else. Or sometimes he'll change the settings on my Windows account.

"He's still captured. Does the C4 look salvageable?"

>Mimi: Realize Alex probably knows nothing about explosives.

[Blade Master Model 42]

"...C-4 IS A PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE, RIGHT? I DIDN'T ACTUALLY TAKE A LOOK AT IT, BUT I THINK IT WAS DESIGNED TO BLOW PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE. I DON'T THINK WATER SHOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO EITHER THE EXPLOSIVES THEMSELVES, OR THE DETONATORS."

"AND REALLY, I MEANT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH HIM."

Alex knows a little bit. Aside from his fiction novels, most of his time was spent reading non-fiction novels. Don't ask him to rig it though.

[freeformschooler]

"Oh. I was thinking after we're done here, we'll make a detour to Claire's house to alchemize some easier way to hold him. After that, we can either go to his next destination or keep looking for an artifact."

Spoiler: LH's Timeout. (click to show/hide)

LH sat as he always did in the center of his room-craft-thing. Watching, Watching as he had done since he had appeared in this game. He had watched the eight children as they had advanced and struggled and occasionally floundered but they had always advanced, hopping and skipping along  at their each appropriate pace as per dictated by the game and the pace LH had wanted them to take, If they keep on this pace they would be strong enough to take the stage and be truely useful. But what is this? One of the players lazying about? This will not be tolerated. LH flew his ship over the world of the player in question, and then.LH flew out with his trusty space helmet and pointed at where Brian would be roughly.There was a white flash and the crack of lightning and DB was no more.


"Timed out for inactivity..Ehehe."

Any roll required for this? If so, is it [8+0+5=13]?

Spoiler: applesauce machine's sheet and housemap (click to show/hide)

Noooo I didn't edit the extra spike into my character sheet post fast enough! Also, pff no one edited out the loface-turned-into-an-appletastic-avatar-reference in the lower right corner.

I would have posted earlier today, but the wifi (which I use from the neighbor's house, it's our router but we can't afford the internet bill so they're putting it to better use) was turned off without warning while I was using it because they were cleaning. They said they'd call when it was turned back on. Hours later, I asked my mom if they called back, and she called them, and they said they'd turn it on right then. Now that it's on, my connection is currently very shitty. Like the amount of time I spent connected to the internet will be less than the time it took me to reconnect, and then I wait God-knows-how-many minutes internetless, retrying the connection.

It took me 2 tries to log into Bay12 and about maybe 4 more to preview/post this. Yes, I counted. What I didn't count was how many times I refreshed the login page/post page. Over a hundred times total, I'm sure, and I'm not even exaggerating. The amount or tries sounds minor, and it is, but that's only because I barely got the chances in the first place (see amount of times I refreshed).

Now that I'm finally online, I'm told that I need to watch the baby and not use my laptop whilst doing so. Fantastic.

BEHOLD THE RESULT OF MY NOT DRAWING FOR LIKE A MONTH

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Is... this a tree factory? Where the hell am I? Is anyone else here?"
CT: Examine your surroundings and try to determine if this is in fact a lucid dream.

You take a look around. Your house is still, well, your house, but everything around it has changed. Your home is now standing upon a huge pillar of stone, overlooking hundreds of factories that seem to pump out trees of all things, which are then fed into other factories, that pump out other trees.

You aren't in Kansas anymore. Not that you necessarily started there.

Realizing you just made a Wizard of Oz reference, and that that movie mostly consisted of a young woman's fever dream, you give yourself a good, hard pinch. It hurts like hell, and nothing changes. Well damn.

Now that I'm finally online, I'm told that I need to watch the baby and not use my laptop whilst doing so. Fantastic.

Don't worry about needing to be on every day (though it would be nice), and particularly don't worry about tonight. I'm at a nerd party anyhow.

[applesauce machine]

Go outside and see if any of the factories are easily accessible, i.e. unlocked doors, no doors, holes, windows, etc.

Don't worry about needing to be on every day (though it would be nice), and particularly don't worry about tonight. I'm at a nerd party anyhow.

This here RPG is the closest I'm getting to a nerd party, or any kind of party for that matter. Speaking of parties,

Spoiler: am I late for the Jesus!Troy party? (click to show/hide)

I stayed up all night/morning making this. Or rather, I stayed up all mornight, and I spent that time making this. It is three four in the morning and I'm not tired so why not post this while I'm up (up as in moving, not up as in awake, since I'll be wide awake the rest of the day).

I added the light color to the jean zipper area because it didn't look quite right as one color because it didn't look quite right without a zipper. No forearms/feet because drawing the rest of his torso all splayed and whatnot was confusing enough as is. I didn't know what do do with his arms/feet drawing-wise, so, like most any other time I'm in that situation when making a digital drawing, I winged it and did something with the colors. I considered doing something like I did there with the blood when I realized fading it out might not look very good, and his symbol just happened to fit perfectly with what I was doing, both shape-wise and color-wise.
I made his shirt ripped because I wanted him to look more Jesus-y, but then didn't rip his pants because just drawing the whole lines for the pants was tough (and jeans are hard to draw in the first place), so why waste good lines. And I think I may have accidentally his hips because I'm used to drawing females. Can someone tell me if I did? Because I really can't tell by eye if it looks wrong unless I'm drawing a female. The abundance of blood was also an effort to make him more Jesus-y, and also I have been wanting a reason to draw a blood-stained article of clothing for a while now. Jesus bled from his neck and forehead, right? ...Right? I may not have actually done any holy research into the matter of the Jesusifying of one. Speaking of seemingly pointless head bleeding, I should've given him a crown of thorns. Oh well.
My only regret is that his lower torso is turned slightly to the left and that makes no sense but WWHATEVVER

It took me like 30 minutes to post this.
