"Girls' Night" incident, 4 dead 12 missing

[snugglesquiggle]

Imagine a game where there are at least three time periods, past, present, and future. You can freely travel between them, but traveling to one that's chronologically before the one you're in "resets" later time periods. You interact with this toy model of a time travel system in the ways you would expect, setting up things in early periods to cause changes in late periods.

Except there are some things that don't change, some things that change and stay changed no matter where you go in the timeline.

One of those things is people.

Oh, not the whole person, if you kill a guy he doesn't stay dead. But your actions reverberate across the whole timeline, if they're strong enough. If you undertake a quest to help an old man find his missing wife in the waning days of the empire, that imprints on the old man up and down the timeline. He won't remember the thoughtless kindness, but it's part of his soul, even when he's a young boy.

So there exists time, which you're walking freely up and done, always able to reset everything by going to the earliest available time. But since you don't reset these reverberations, can't reset them, there's another form of time coming at a right angle. You reverberated that old man and cannot undo it, which represents the forward march of causality! And because that man is different, other options open up, and there are more reverberations to complete, which advances this other causality track.

I think it would be interesting to trap a player in this way, to not have their choices be legible up front, to have mutually exclusive resonances, cascading changes that might not be what they want. A time travel game where it first seems that you can freely reset at any time, but you're actually being penned in by your choices because certain pieces are time-invariant.

Serial Designation - L

[Murder Drones OC]

[MORE UNDER CUT]

So um this idea of L came to me in a Roblox RP with my friend. I made a SD character and my friend made a pink(?) worker drone character, then my friend took some screenshots of them. She was a random creation of mine but after some consideration I FINALLY made her an OC. This is my first MD OC ever so do know that I’ll make some mistakes. [FEEL FREE TO DRAW HER BTW]

She’s based off insects mostly and this is her feral state (would draw her in her casual form later)

I’ll tell ya a lil bit of her lore:

- She was a deactivated SD found by a colony of worker drones

- The drones had an idea about turning L’s body into a weapon against the other SD’s

- They basically mixed some codes together (the Solver included somehow) and created something called “The Chimera”

- They put the code into L’s body and replaced some missing parts with worker drones parts

- One day/night, L suddenly activated in the middle of their experiments and escaped (probably killed like all the drones that were working on her idk)

I’ll refine her lore a bit more later, I feel like I’m yapping too much lol. Here’s her with just her tail n wings without the Solver flesh stuff:

[snugglesquiggle]

The concept of being biomechanical deeply fascinates me. How would my mechanical parts react to touch compared to my biological or even intertwined if that makes any difference? How would they compare in the sense of pain or pleasure?

Or would my biomechanical body be less of part mech and more of completely intertwined together? How would part of my body react then to sensations or stress? Could flesh be affected by code and if so how? Or could code be affected by flesh? How would they work together? Could my body survive as just mechanical or does it need the biology / vice versa?

I have so many questions and yet

Many have pondered prophecy — but have we questioned the specifics? Have you asked: why prophecy, at all? For if it were fate, if the events inevitable, why presage it at all? No one needs a prophecy of the sun rising. What will happen simply will happen. That is, unless prophecies are spoken to be heard, and once heard, acted upon. Prophecies must exist for them to come true. They tell us to make them happen.

Have you not asked: why are they written as they are? Why so ambiguous? Is it because, in needing us to act on them, they must inspire hope, but not faith? To know we can win, but that we may not? Or must they be ambiguous, and leave open the bad ending — must destiny compromise with calamity, good obtain evil’s consent to be thwarted?

when you think about it, the popularity of isekai litrpg is rebuttal of "show don't tell" as a principle. what are game mechanics but the purest way to tell? what is the portal fantasy, but an excuse for fish of of water exposition?
