On the topic of msm-

Does anyone else miss when the monsters used to automatically have their seasonal costumes on if an event like spooktacle for example was happening-?

(^ context: msm costumes used to automatically be on a monster when a seasonal event happened, no gems needed. Only downside was that there was no way to have the costumes on all year round.)

Because I do-

Like I get making the costumes available to buy for diamonds that’s fine, it’s neat for people who want their monsters to keep the costumes on all year round- (e.g. this year’s sky painting costumes love those-)

But- why can’t we still have em” automatically dress up-? ):

It was so fun logging in and getting to see your monsters wearing their silli costumes- it’s just not the same ig since now you have to buy em all-

P.s. I understand that some people may hate the costumes and not want them automatically/on at all- but I mean- like- there could still be the option to toggle it in the costume menu- like- what I’m suggesting is have the costumes be like the seasonal island skins. E.g. free trial of it while the event is happening.))

Nov 5 Dancitron Movie Night - Round Planet

It took most of the night, but Prowl eventually managed to successfully participate in Whirl’s nonsense. He’s proud of himself.

He also managed to invite Arcee to hang out at some undefined point in the future.

Check out Prowl, veritable social butterfly.

NoodlesAtNight 9:31 pm [[He thinks that was one of the first times he met you. The long tongue. It was disappointing to find out you did not have that as a permanent feature. It amused him.]] radioactivibee 9:31 pm No wonder the war lasted so long. chronosmith 9:31 pm Yeah. It amused me, too. Chaifootsteps 9:31 pm Or punching them.

Of course I can. /His doorwings are perking up, flattered./ NoodlesAtNight 9:33 pm *huffs at the handbag bit* chronosmith 9:33 pm Hey, it's worth it.

These things matter to him now.* verdigrisprowl 10:40 pm ... Same. With—your department and all. NoodlesAtNight 10:41 pm [[As you wish.]] [[But you first. He did ask first.]] verdigrisprowl 10:44 pm *well, this is hardly the position for such a discussion, but it's the position he's in and he doesn't want to move. he wraps his arms around Soundwave's waist.* For the past few weeks, a lot of my time has been turned toward the newbuilds touring. We've got one definitely, two probablies, and five maybes. ... I haven't been helping them tour, of course. But I've been—you know—coordinating. NoodlesAtNight 10:46 pm *He rather likes talking of these things seated as they are. It's being close to Prowl in both ways at once.*

[[Oh? Who are the definitely and the probablies? Anyone he has records on?]]

[[...Why not help them tour? You know the work best. Busy?]] *He can sympathize with that, if so.* verdigrisprowl 10:46 pm Uncharismatic. verdigrisprowl 10:47 pm The definitely is—Minus. The probablies are... *hold on. hooold on.* ...... *hooooold on.* ......... I forgot their names. NoodlesAtNight 10:51 pm [[Hmph. A familiar accusation, and unimportant. You are not running for political office - are you?]] *He pauses here to wait for the answer to that before going on.* [[You do your work and you do it well. Anyone truly interested in it will care about your results. The rest is window tinting.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:52 pm [[...One moment. Minus. The little one you guarded for a while? With the]] *motions across his optics. Visor.* verdigrisprowl 10:54 pm I *am* trying to convince a bunch of inexperienced, brand new people that they want to have me as their boss. So yes, unfortunately, it /is/ a popularity contest. The window tinting will make the difference in whether or not our police force increases. NoodlesAtNight 10:54 pm [[Hm.]] *They can't all be as reasonable as him, he supposes. Younglings.* [[He could spread quality favorable rumors on your behalf.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:55 pm [[Perhaps whisper a few unpleasant things about your competitors?]] verdigrisprowl 10:56 pm Appreciated, but I'd rather they join because they've looked at the job and decided they want to do it. That's what I need—people who are drawn to the idea of protecting people. NoodlesAtNight 10:56 pm [[And Minus is?]] verdigrisprowl 10:57 pm ... Yes. She is. In a—naive way, but—yes. ... I didn't try to recruit her or sway her. SHE sought ME out and asked for the position. *he feels like it's important soundwave knows that.* NoodlesAtNight 11:00 pm *His face was drifting out of the intensely amused smile and into neutral curiosity. Now it's softening into a different kind of smile. Prowl won't have seen it much, but he often wears it behind his mask when playing with the Predacon hatchlings or watching Zori and Chimera go about their business.*

[[Of course she is, and did. She could hardly have asked for a better role model. No doubt your time directing things during the plague left an impression.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:01 pm [[It really was one of your finest moments, as far as things he has witnessed go.]] verdigrisprowl 11:01 pm Pff. *LOOKING ACROSS THE ROOM.* She wasn't even sapient then. She said she was inspired by a movie. verdigrisprowl 11:03 pm ... What about your work? I never hear about yours. You ask me questions about mine and then keep asking follow-up questions. NoodlesAtNight 11:04 pm [[Did she, now? Ah, well. He stands by the last thing he said, at least.]] *And is not entirely convinced he's wrong about the rest, but he'll let that sit there.*

[[The nature of both himself and his work, he supposes. Let him think, now.]] verdigrisprowl 11:05 pm Clearly, I need to work on my reflexes so I can ask you questions first. NoodlesAtNight 11:06 pm [[Perhaps we'll play another question game some time? Those were quite enjoyable.]] verdigrisprowl 11:07 pm I like the sound of that. NoodlesAtNight 11:18 pm [[Good. You are a worthy opponent.]]

[[Our department decided not to involve itself with touring. We thought it more appropriate to see who developed the curiosity, intelligence, persistence, and cunning necessary to attempt investigating us on their own time, if any, and then approach them. Some things cannot be taught.]]

[[We were monitoring an odd development down in the depths of Metroplex's right calf. Melted and resolidified globs of metal kept appearing without explanation. We thought it might be a plague, at first.]] *He pauses.* [[Ravage noticed that they all smelled of the same mech and eventually tracked him down. It was a large warbuild who had heard of the budding timelines and thought he could replicate more of himself by melting pieces of his armor off.]] [[Hardly a citywide threat. Just a medical emergency. He was missing armor as far as a mech can safely get.]] verdigrisprowl 11:20 pm Yes, I noticed that your department wasn't represented at the discussions on where the protoforms would be touring. I've no doubt you kept up with the debate anyway?

*HUFF.* I hope he's been treated? NoodlesAtNight 11:26 pm [[Naturally. We visited the locations of the discussions hours before any of you arrived. Incidentally, the mech in charge of sanitation has an optic for fancy jewelry, if ever you need that information. He mistook Zori's other form for a bracelet. You are not the only one with a thigh pocket.]]

[[And last he heard, the warbuild had been treated for heat-related damages and was on his second layer of armor reshaping and reattachment.]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm ... Did h— I— did he KIDNAP Zori? Whhhhy did you not feel the need to report that to the police? NoodlesAtNight 11:31 pm [[It isn't kidnapping if you know where someone is the entire time. Zori waited until they deposited him on their washroom sink to crawl away and bridge back.]] *Flicks a hand, which conflicts really badly with the deadly serious tone his thoughts take on now.* [[Besides. If it /had/ been a purposeful kidnapping, we would be having this conversation through a prison force field.]] verdigrisprowl 11:31 pm No—I mean—did he steal him OFF of you, or—? NoodlesAtNight 11:33 pm [[Nothing so rude. He simply picked up a piece of lost jewelry who happened to have been taking a nap after making sure the discussion spots were safe and secure.]] *And now the squint is back.* NoodlesAtNight 11:34 pm [[He has an alternate who gets into all sorts of places as a small cassette player. It's... inspiring.]] verdigrisprowl 11:34 pm Ah. Good. An innocent mistake, then. *he can relax.* verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm The... short universe? NoodlesAtNight 11:36 pm [[Yes, of course. No need to work yourself up so. Though he appreciates that you did.]] *A small kiss to Prowl's shoulder again.*

[[He sees you remember it too.]] verdigrisprowl 11:37 pm Hard not to remember it. *it's the first glimpse he's got of Unicron in all his awful, Earth's-crust-free glory* NoodlesAtNight 11:38 pm *And the fate of his own alternate, unfortunately.* verdigrisprowl 11:38 pm *he's trying not to remember that* NoodlesAtNight 11:40 pm [[He assures you we have no interest in purple griffin bases or any of that.]] [[IIII is quite content with its blocky, nondescript building. Though red would suit it quite nicely, if only that didn't attract attention.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:41 pm [[...No. Scratch that. Too edible looking. We'd get nothing done for being hungry all day.]] verdigrisprowl 11:41 pm You could paint the inside red? NoodlesAtNight 11:42 pm *Appears to genuinely consider this* [[...Perhaps his office.]] [[Never mind. A satisfactory update, he hopes?]] verdigrisprowl 11:45 pm I'd be happy to hear more. *beat* ... But. I HAVE been sitting on your lap for an hour. NoodlesAtNight 11:46 pm [[Not at all something he minds, you should know. But he sees your point. There are better places for you to sit.]] *Peep tongue.* verdigrisprowl 11:48 pm That's actually the opposite of where I was going with that. *this time the tongue isn't escaping.* NoodlesAtNight 11:49 pm [[He's not so sure about that.]]

*This time, the owner of said tongue has no intention of letting it do so. Not when there's a whole Prowl mouth right there just doing nothing but talking.* *...And not even that, now.* verdigrisprowl 11:50 pm *aaaand claimed. It's now his.* NoodlesAtNight 11:52 pm *Good. He'll dibs Prowl himself, stand up, and carry his claim upstairs with him for full and proper enjoyment.* verdigrisprowl 11:53 pm *oh no, it seems that he's fallen prey to a carnivorous plant* NoodlesAtNight 11:54 pm *Just mind that it doesn't start singing.*

SpecsTheSpectralDragon 8:13 pm Yes, I purge it up later. *shrugs her wings* I have to purge up formaldehydes and formic acid anyways as a byproduct, so putting the hair with it makes it sting less.

SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:26 pm *this is a remarkably painless way to die. a little crushing, but not so bad.* NoodlesAtNight 9:26 pm *Okay, but try to die a sausage.* chronosmith 9:26 pm Pfft. As if any JET could handle flying through anything as complicated as that. verdigrisprowl 9:26 pm ... can't you just disassemble and reassemble the beads in the correct pattern? OmicronTheIceQueen 9:26 pm *highly likes this* chronosmith 9:27 pm Can't even hover or fly backwards. Pathetic. verdigrisprowl 9:27 pm That's the joke. Hundreds of dead birds and a screaming seeker. NoodlesAtNight 9:27 pm *Thank you for getting it, Prowl.* verdigrisprowl 9:27 pm *he's imagining starscream's indignant squawks.* chronosmith 9:27 pm ..okay, fair.

But the challenge is bringing it to those positions. They are connected in a way so they cannot be completely disassembled separated, so you do not lose the beads. They are not the most complex, but they are nice to the touch. verdigrisprowl 9:29 pm ... Hm. *he wants one.* NoodlesAtNight 9:29 pm =Have not.= SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:29 pm *purrs along with Peddles, as long as the hatchling avoids squishing her too badly* chronosmith 9:29 pm Oh lord. radioactivibee 9:29 pm Doesn't it hurt their tongues? opatoes 9:29 pm ... I suppose it could use more complexity. NoodlesAtNight 9:29 pm [[They have plenty of tongue to spare.]] chronosmith 9:29 pm *the phrase "half-meter longue tongue has him flashing back to his best bud's horrific maw* NoodlesAtNight 9:30 pm *Good thing Whirl's only seen that one.* OmicronTheIceQueen 9:30 pm Peddles: *like a tight hug but that's about it...and some lickies* radioactivibee 9:30 pm You have plenty of tentacle to spare, what if one got stabbed with a thorn or five? verdigrisprowl 9:30 pm *prowl's certainly picturing SOMEBODY'S tongue.* NoodlesAtNight 9:30 pm [[He'd stab the thorn bearer back. Obviously.]] chronosmith 9:30 pm *it's just the drool that gets him, honestly. Teeth are good.Tongues are fine. But drool is a no-go* UnkillableJazz 9:30 pm There's a brown patch int their wake chronosmith 9:30 pm I had a tongue once. It was pretty long. Not gonna lie, being able to taste again was neat. verdigrisprowl 9:31 pm ((thwip thwip thwip thwip)) SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:31 pm *licks are ALWAYS valid and accepted. if the dragon can get to Peddles' snout she'll clean the hatchling right back* chronosmith 9:31 pm ...wait, I had a tongue twice. radioactivibee 9:31 pm Not all problems can be solved by stabbing them. NoodlesAtNight 9:31 pm *Soundwave decides to make the picturing a bit easier with several self-taken closeups of Things.* chronosmith 9:31 pm ((thwip thwip thwip thwip)) Chaifootsteps 9:31 pm Disagreed. verdigrisprowl 9:31 pm Stab wounds. chronosmith 9:31 pm To be fair, Arcee--some are better solved with shooting them. radioactivibee 9:31 pm ... NoodlesAtNight 9:31 pm [[He thinks that was one of the first times he met you. The long tongue. It was disappointing to find out you did not have that as a permanent feature. It amused him.]] radioactivibee 9:31 pm No wonder the war lasted so long. chronosmith 9:31 pm Yeah. It amused me, too. Chaifootsteps 9:31 pm Or punching them. Or kicking them into hot plasma. verdigrisprowl 9:31 pm *... small rev. thanks, soundwave.* radioactivibee 9:32 pm If only we could've solved it with tongues. opatoes 9:32 pm Oh! I have blueprints for this one, but I have never attempted it, perhaps I can attempt to make one of these levitating construction puzzles to share. chronosmith 9:32 pm My Monday nights when I'm not here. NoodlesAtNight 9:32 pm *Sitting here like the most angelic ex-con you ever did see.* opatoes 9:32 pm I need to test it out and see how it works, though. chronosmith 9:32 pm I'm being the Deadliest Handbag on Earth.

NoodlesAtNight 9:32 pm [[It worked well for Airachnid. ... Well. That was molten metal, but details.]] radioactivibee 9:32 pm If anyone can figure it out, it's you, Smokescreen. Chaifootsteps 9:32 pm You really can't go wrong with hot plasma. verdigrisprowl 9:32 pm That's a long trip just to be a deadly handbag. radioactivibee 9:32 pm How about getting along and saying hello? chronosmith 9:32 pm Not to mention being dismembered by a space barnacle, which I have only seen once. opatoes 9:32 pm ... Of course I can. /His doorwings are perking up, flattered./ NoodlesAtNight 9:33 pm *huffs at the handbag bit* chronosmith 9:33 pm Hey, it's worth it. Nothing boosts the self-confidence like standing on an alien world thinking, "That's me. I'M the deadliest handbag here." NoodlesAtNight 9:33 pm ((gahewahahahahaha)) chronosmith 9:33 pm You oughta try it. SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:33 pm ((hey worm look it's seera)) opatoes 9:33 pm On the topic of construction puzzles, I think I have a few sets that connect together. One is in basic shapes, and I think it is meant for bitlets, and one is meant to form fractals and organic cellular structures, I think. chronosmith 9:34 pm ((i just messaged her 😎 )() NoodlesAtNight 9:34 pm ((this hyena sequence: more educational than lion guard)) chronosmith 9:34 pm ((IT'S HER...

I also have a few jigsaw puzzles. Would you like to try one on those with me, Bumblebee? SpecsTheSpectralDragon 9:36 pm *back onto the couch with her, to see if the crocs return!* opatoes 9:37 pm They are enjoyable with a partner. radioactivibee 9:37 pm Sure! opatoes 9:37 pm !! /Stopping everything to watch the kitties/ Bumblebee. Kittens. verdigrisprowl 9:37 pm Sounds like a plan. radioactivibee 9:37 pm I'm not that good with puzzles, it'd be good to have help.

I'm sure it is fascinating. *he means it. but he doesn't feel it.* NoodlesAtNight 10:26 pm [[Of course, if you'd prefer a practical demonstration--]] verdigrisprowl 10:28 pm I was under the impression that I was in the middle of one. NoodlesAtNight 10:30 pm [[Oh, not yet. You can be if you wish.]] verdigrisprowl 10:31 pm I think I'd like that. NoodlesAtNight 10:32 pm [[Ah, good. He did some research and knows where to find the plants called "venus fly traps". We can bridge there and look for the larger specimens.]] *Optics still bright, a smile still all over his faceplates.* verdigrisprowl 10:34 pm *stares at him.* .... Pfff-ff-ff. *he's hiding his face in soundwave's shoulder.* You're merciless. NoodlesAtNight 10:38 pm [[You say such sweet things.]] *Wrapping his arms around Prowl now.* [[But in seriousness, he would be pleased to indulge your curiosity on a personal level... after you tell him what you can of your work lately. He is curious about how you have been spending your time as captain.]] *The lightest of kisses to Prowl's shoulder.* [[Or on your own. Perhaps both. He confesses to simply being curious about you on a daily basis.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:39 pm *In other words: he wants to know how your days have been, Prowl. These things matter to him now.* verdigrisprowl 10:40 pm ... Same. With—your department and all. NoodlesAtNight 10:41 pm [[As you wish.]] [[But you first. He did ask first.]] verdigrisprowl 10:44 pm *well, this is hardly the position for such a discussion, but it's the position he's in and he doesn't want to move. he wraps his arms around Soundwave's waist.* For the past few weeks, a lot of my time has been turned toward the newbuilds touring. We've got one definitely, two probablies, and five maybes. ... I haven't been helping them tour, of course. But I've been—you know—coordinating. NoodlesAtNight 10:46 pm *He rather likes talking of these things seated as they are. It's being close to Prowl in both ways at once.*

[[Oh? Who are the definitely and the probablies? Anyone he has records on?]]

[[...Why not help them tour? You know the work best. Busy?]] *He can sympathize with that, if so.* verdigrisprowl 10:46 pm Uncharismatic. verdigrisprowl 10:47 pm The definitely is—Minus. The probablies are... *hold on. hooold on.* ...... *hooooold on.* ......... I forgot their names. NoodlesAtNight 10:51 pm [[Hmph. A familiar accusation, and unimportant. You are not running for political office - are you?]] *He pauses here to wait for the answer to that before going on.* [[You do your work and you do it well. Anyone truly interested in it will care about your results. The rest is window tinting.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:52 pm [[...One moment. Minus. The little one you guarded for a while? With the]] *motions across his optics. Visor.* verdigrisprowl 10:54 pm I *am* trying to convince a bunch of inexperienced, brand new people that they want to have me as their boss. So yes, unfortunately, it /is/ a popularity contest. The window tinting will make the difference in whether or not our police force increases. NoodlesAtNight 10:54 pm [[Hm.]] *They can't all be as reasonable as him, he supposes. Younglings.* [[He could spread quality favorable rumors on your behalf.]] NoodlesAtNight 10:55 pm [[Perhaps whisper a few unpleasant things about your competitors?]] verdigrisprowl 10:56 pm Appreciated, but I'd rather they join because they've looked at the job and decided they want to do it. That's what I need—people who are drawn to the idea of protecting people. NoodlesAtNight 10:56 pm [[And Minus is?]] verdigrisprowl 10:57 pm ... Yes. She is. In a—naive way, but—yes. ... I didn't try to recruit her or sway her. SHE sought ME out and asked for the position. *he feels like it's important soundwave knows that.* NoodlesAtNight 11:00 pm *His face was drifting out of the intensely amused smile and into neutral curiosity. Now it's softening into a different kind of smile. Prowl won't have seen it much, but he often wears it behind his mask when playing with the Predacon hatchlings or watching Zori and Chimera go about their business.*

[[Of course she is, and did. She could hardly have asked for a better role model. No doubt your time directing things during the plague left an impression.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:01 pm [[It really was one of your finest moments, as far as things he has witnessed go.]] verdigrisprowl 11:01 pm Pff. *LOOKING ACROSS THE ROOM.* She wasn't even sapient then. She said she was inspired by a movie. verdigrisprowl 11:03 pm ... What about your work? I never hear about yours. You ask me questions about mine and then keep asking follow-up questions. NoodlesAtNight 11:04 pm [[Did she, now? Ah, well. He stands by the last thing he said, at least.]] *And is not entirely convinced he's wrong about the rest, but he'll let that sit there.*

[[The nature of both himself and his work, he supposes. Let him think, now.]] verdigrisprowl 11:05 pm Clearly, I need to work on my reflexes so I can ask you questions first. NoodlesAtNight 11:06 pm [[Perhaps we'll play another question game some time? Those were quite enjoyable.]] verdigrisprowl 11:07 pm I like the sound of that. NoodlesAtNight 11:18 pm [[Good. You are a worthy opponent.]]

[[Our department decided not to involve itself with touring. We thought it more appropriate to see who developed the curiosity, intelligence, persistence, and cunning necessary to attempt investigating us on their own time, if any, and then approach them. Some things cannot be taught.]]

[[We were monitoring an odd development down in the depths of Metroplex's right calf. Melted and resolidified globs of metal kept appearing without explanation. We thought it might be a plague, at first.]] *He pauses.* [[Ravage noticed that they all smelled of the same mech and eventually tracked him down. It was a large warbuild who had heard of the budding timelines and thought he could replicate more of himself by melting pieces of his armor off.]] [[Hardly a citywide threat. Just a medical emergency. He was missing armor as far as a mech can safely get.]] verdigrisprowl 11:20 pm Yes, I noticed that your department wasn't represented at the discussions on where the protoforms would be touring. I've no doubt you kept up with the debate anyway?

*HUFF.* I hope he's been treated? NoodlesAtNight 11:26 pm [[Naturally. We visited the locations of the discussions hours before any of you arrived. Incidentally, the mech in charge of sanitation has an optic for fancy jewelry, if ever you need that information. He mistook Zori's other form for a bracelet. You are not the only one with a thigh pocket.]]

[[And last he heard, the warbuild had been treated for heat-related damages and was on his second layer of armor reshaping and reattachment.]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm ... Did h— I— did he KIDNAP Zori? Whhhhy did you not feel the need to report that to the police? NoodlesAtNight 11:31 pm [[It isn't kidnapping if you know where someone is the entire time. Zori waited until they deposited him on their washroom sink to crawl away and bridge back.]] *Flicks a hand, which conflicts really badly with the deadly serious tone his thoughts take on now.* [[Besides. If it /had/ been a purposeful kidnapping, we would be having this conversation through a prison force field.]] verdigrisprowl 11:31 pm No—I mean—did he steal him OFF of you, or—? NoodlesAtNight 11:33 pm [[Nothing so rude. He simply picked up a piece of lost jewelry who happened to have been taking a nap after making sure the discussion spots were safe and secure.]] *And now the squint is back.* NoodlesAtNight 11:34 pm [[He has an alternate who gets into all sorts of places as a small cassette player. It's... inspiring.]] verdigrisprowl 11:34 pm Ah. Good. An innocent mistake, then. *he can relax.* verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm The... short universe? NoodlesAtNight 11:36 pm [[Yes, of course. No need to work yourself up so. Though he appreciates that you did.]] *A small kiss to Prowl's shoulder again.*

[[He sees you remember it too.]] verdigrisprowl 11:37 pm Hard not to remember it. *it's the first glimpse he's got of Unicron in all his awful, Earth's-crust-free glory* NoodlesAtNight 11:38 pm *And the fate of his own alternate, unfortunately.* verdigrisprowl 11:38 pm *he's trying not to remember that* NoodlesAtNight 11:40 pm [[He assures you we have no interest in purple griffin bases or any of that.]] [[IIII is quite content with its blocky, nondescript building. Though red would suit it quite nicely, if only that didn't attract attention.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:41 pm [[...No. Scratch that. Too edible looking. We'd get nothing done for being hungry all day.]] verdigrisprowl 11:41 pm You could paint the inside red? NoodlesAtNight 11:42 pm *Appears to genuinely consider this* [[...Perhaps his office.]] [[Never mind. A satisfactory update, he hopes?]] verdigrisprowl 11:45 pm I'd be happy to hear more. *beat* ... But. I HAVE been sitting on your lap for an hour. NoodlesAtNight 11:46 pm [[Not at all something he minds, you should know. But he sees your point. There are better places for you to sit.]] *Peep tongue.* verdigrisprowl 11:48 pm That's actually the opposite of where I was going with that. *this time the tongue isn't escaping.* NoodlesAtNight 11:49 pm [[He's not so sure about that.]]

*This time, the owner of said tongue has no intention of letting it do so. Not when there's a whole Prowl mouth right there just doing nothing but talking.* *...And not even that, now.* verdigrisprowl 11:50 pm *aaaand claimed. It's now his.* NoodlesAtNight 11:52 pm *Good. He'll dibs Prowl himself, stand up, and carry his claim upstairs with him for full and proper enjoyment.* verdigrisprowl 11:53 pm *oh no, it seems that he's fallen prey to a carnivorous plant* NoodlesAtNight 11:54 pm *Just mind that it doesn't start singing.* verdigrisprowl 11:54 pm *well, nothing he can do about it now.* NoodlesAtNight 11:55 pm *Nope. Just sit back, be eaten up, and go through a little death or three. What a world.*

MOAR ‘BUNCLES

A discussion of assorted carbuncle shenanigans from earlier this week, featuring @chaemera, @tehjai, and @wanderedaimlessly.

TL;DR: Ivar has a grenade function. As in, he is the grenade. Also he nearly had a beam cannon function and Eorzea should be grateful Synnove vetoed that. (Even though it would be really, really cool. But there’s no way any of her babies would act responsibly with that on tap.)

(MOBILE USERS I APOLOGIZE IF THE READ MORE DOESN’T WORK)

[1:46 PM] Chaemera: I just had a horrible idea [1:48 PM] Chaemera: carbuncle grenades [1:48 PM] DT: what [1:49 PM] Chaemera: consider: carbuncles are organized masses of aether [1:50 PM] DT: Following so far - ooooohhhhh [1:50 PM] Chaemera: it is theoretically possible to insert a directive into that system to cause it to catastrophically liberate all that energy [1:50 PM] Chaemera: picks up Ivar, boops, throws [1:50 PM] Chaemera: EXPLOSION [1:51 PM] DT: Ivar reforms at Synnove's feet all smug. "Look, mommy, I blew them up!" [1:51 PM] Chaemera: meanwhile Synnove is trying to decide on having her face go D8 or :o [1:52 PM] DT: On the one hand science, on the other oh gods my baby [1:52 PM] Chaemera: mostly I'm just giggling over the idea of Khebi panicking in a combat situation, scooping up Ivar all "Sorry! FRAG OUT" [1:53 PM] Chaemera: Synnove: what are you doing to my child [1:54 PM] DT: Ivar carby-cackles as he flies through the air [1:54 PM] Chaemera: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEboom [1:54 PM] Jai: He tries to form up again and gets stuck; someone has to pull him out by his tail [1:55 PM] DT: Synnove: /blue screens Galette: /pokes mommy's cheek [1:55 PM] DT: Literally has to yoink him the rest of the way out of his ruby [1:55 PM] Chaemera: schlllllkkkkkkkkpop [1:56 PM] Jai: When he gets really stuck they have to call Kelt. [1:56 PM] Jai: that is why Ivar inexplicably likes her [1:57 PM] Chaemera: I just made myself snortlaugh at folks trying to diagnose the issue and Kelt popping Ivar's ruby into her mouth to swish it around with a thoughtful expression [1:57 PM] DT: Synnove quietly shrieks [1:58 PM] DT: One time One time they use Tyr [1:58 PM] DT: Him big. Sheepdog big. Very aetherically dense. [1:58 PM] DT: Biiiiig boom. [1:59 PM] DT: Takes five people to tug him out of his topaz [1:59 PM] Chaemera: I think I just gave myself diabetes with a mental image: Khebi curled up and napping against Ivar [2:00 PM] DT: /diiiiiiiiiies [2:01 PM] Chaemera: big fluffy warm purring pillow [2:03 PM] DT: Ivar luvs his favorite people very much [2:03 PM] DT: And will set everyone else on fire :) [2:03 PM] Chaemera: even more sickening: her napping on Tyr [2:04 PM] Chaemera: he's bigger than she is [2:04 PM] Jai: The carbies' real bff: a chicken [2:05 PM] Chaemera: Synnove's kids and their insatiable lust for Keltgeim's cock [2:05 PM] Chaemera: /flee! [2:05 PM] Jai: Either that or they tolerate Heihei and his stupidity [2:05 PM] DT: Ivar is not allowed to be left alone with Heihei [2:06 PM] DT: /throws things at Chaemera [2:06 PM] Chaemera: X3 [2:07 PM] DT: Ivar is capable of cooking his own dinner [2:07 PM] DT: Tyr turns into a loaf all -_- as the chicken climbs all over him [2:07 PM] Chaemera: bok bok bok [2:09 PM] Jai: Chicken is pecking at nothing; carby nudges chicken so that his food is nearby. Chicken turns 45 degrees & goes back to pecking at nothing. [2:09 PM] Jai: This is how we learned that carbies can sigh [2:10 PM] DT: /cackles [2:10 PM] Chaemera: also Khebi is not allowed to tinker with Synnove's carbies [2:12 PM] DT: Synnove does not allow access to her summoning arrays any more. The grenade function in Ivar is useful but traumatizing to watch [2:12 PM] Chaemera: because I just started thinking of things she would think of as "improvements" [2:12 PM] Chaemera: like integrating a "Fetch" module into Tyr where he physically encapsulates the target [2:13 PM] Chaemera: or a beam cannon into Ivar [2:14 PM] Chaemera: (her idea to have Galette fly her around is thwarted by the realization that Galette would more likely just use it to get at treats previously out of reach) [2:17 PM] DT: Synnove immediately vetoes both Fetch and beam canon options because fetch means Tyr will abuse it to get Synnove to stay in bed and cuddle all day, and Ivar will literally try to destroy a city. [2:17 PM] DT: Flying Galette is a nightmare incarnate. No pastry is safe [2:17 PM] Chaemera: Khebi points out this is no different than Tyr just lying on top of Synnove [2:17 PM] Chaemera: also Ivar tries to do that anyway [2:18 PM] DT: Yes but with the beam cannon he would succeed [2:18 PM] DT: And she can push Tyr off herself. [2:23 PM] Chaemera: heeheehee [2:26 PM] Chaemera: though this also brings the hilarious mental image of Tyr in the morning just loafing aggressively on Synnove's face [2:39 PM] DT: And the entire top half of the bed [2:39 PM] DT: A muffled, "Tyr, if I can't breathe I can't cuddle you," can be heard [2:40 PM] Chaemera: he purrs harder [2:47 PM] Chaemera: (it's almost as if I've lived with cats) [3:29 PM] Chaemera: no Khebi stop trying to figure out how to adapt your carbuncle summoning array into a particle cannon [6:16 PM] Jai: i get the feeling that the carbies just have the run of the house [6:16 PM] Jai: they show up in others' rooms [6:16 PM] Chaemera: phase through walls when you try to lock them out [6:17 PM] DT: Galette, Tyr, and Ivar have standing orders to "obey the laws of physics unless it's a life or death emergency, Mommy doesn't like her brain breaking," but they just take that to mean don't do it where Mommy can see. [6:17 PM] DT: Everyone else can suck it the fuck up [6:18 PM] DT: How else do you think Galette gets into the pie [6:18 PM] Chaemera: rule zero: don't get caught [6:21 PM] DT: Look there's a reason that Galette meshed so well with the Garuda-egi, she just channels Garuda's megalomaniac crazy into sugar-crazes and pranks [6:22 PM] Chaemera: no Khebi you are not allowed to test and find out what Gallete's upper confection-bound is [6:23 PM] DT: Synnove would never forgive Khebi for that. Galette once get into the cake at a wedding reception, she didn't stop vibrating for about a week. [6:24 PM] Chaemera: this would be carefully metered doses of maple syrup administered in a laboratory environment! [6:25 PM] Chaemera: just... the doses would keep coming until Galette turned them down [6:25 PM] Chaemera: while Khebi keeps careful track [6:25 PM] DT: Somewhere Synnove's brain has broken at the horror [6:26 PM] Chaemera: Galette ends up launched over Limsa bay as she goes critical [6:27 PM] Jai: i wonder if everyone save Synnove tends to secretly feed Galette sweets [6:28 PM] Chaemera: probably [6:30 PM] DT: probably [6:32 PM] Chaemera: though with Khebi there's also a 50% risk that she'll just distractedly scoop Galette up during treat-begging and carry her around as a thinking-plushy [6:33 PM] Chaemera: "Think, think, think..." <galette muttering about how this was not going as planned> [6:33 PM] Jai: they hide in Kelt's room [6:34 PM] Jai: "hey have you seen the carbies?" "didja check under my couch?" [6:35 PM] DT: Both ideas = me dead from cute [6:35 PM] Chaemera: I just giggle a lot at the thought of Khebi wandering past Synnove with Galette in-arms, wearing that thousand-yalm-stare as she chews through some theoretical problem, and Galette just giving mom the "why, why this" face [6:36 PM] Jai: so Kelt's kicking back reading some book about astrophysics and suddenly there's a noise from under the couch.  she lifts book, there's one carby.  some time later, two.  then finally, Tyr tries to sit on her head. [6:36 PM] Chaemera: <loaf'd> [6:36 PM] Jai: Kelt picks them up by the scruff, stares them in the eyes, and admonishes them [6:37 PM] Jai: "tyr there is a whole other half of the couch.  go there." [6:38 PM] DT: Tyr likes to think he is smol [6:38 PM] Chaemera: like those mastiffs that think they're lapdogs [6:38 PM] DT: And Synnove just raises an eyebrow at Galette to remind her this is what happens when she begs for treats outside snacktime from other arcanists. [6:38 PM] Chaemera: though I just had an adorable idea: Synnove getting scholar's-back from being bent over her desk for too long, having Tyr make biscuits on her spine [6:39 PM] DT: !!!! [6:40 PM] DT: He's, like, the size of a sheepdog, and his aetheric density is translated to weight by his programming, he could make biscuits or just walk up and down Synnove's back and it would work out nicely [6:41 PM] Chaemera: <knead knead knead mildly unsettling crunching noises knead> [6:41 PM] Jai: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e1/cb/68/e1cb6808b17e67ee8e53921f861a6d85.jpg

[6:43 PM] DT: <loud groan of relief from the pillow Synnove has her face smushed into> [6:43 PM] DT: Yes that is Tyr-size. :D [6:48 PM] Chaemera: Khebi's carbuncle is much less defined in terms of personality compared to Synnove's three, but it also has a lot of under the hood tweaking in place [6:48 PM] Chaemera: and often just blatantly ignores things like "laws of physics" [6:49 PM] Chaemera: it's more of a computational and utility entity than a personality [6:51 PM] DT: Yeah, Synnove prioritizes personality above everything else; utilities like the passive aetheric sensors got added over the years. [6:53 PM] Chaemera: whereas Khebi needed an assistant first, and forgot about "friend" until later because she got distracted [6:55 PM] DT: Also eventually at some point, Synnove goes to Kelt's room first when looking for her wayward children to look under the couch. Doesn't even say anything, just knocks, stomps in, kneels to check, then leaves either with a carby or no carby. Occasionally grunts a hello at Kelt if she remembers. [6:56 PM] Chaemera: it's bath time and Ivar leaves claw-trails in the floor as he gets dragged out of the room [6:57 PM] DT: Ivar: <carby equivalent of wails of denial> Synnove: YOU ARE FILTHY. [6:57 PM] Jai: "I have a bathtub you know." [6:58 PM] Chaemera: the house is treated to the Carby version of "MY LINE IS ENDED" [6:59 PM] DT: "Oh, no, I do this outside if I don't want the house to burn." And then she finally manages to get Ivar's claws out of the wood, throws him over her shoulder, and books it, yelling about stopping by with gil for the repairs later. [7:03 PM] DT: And on some days, Tyr's the one to burst in, stick his head under Kelt's couch, and emerge with a scruffed Ivar before toddling out. [7:06 PM] Chaemera: heeheehee [7:09 PM] DT: If they really do give us a slider or text command to change Demi-Bahamut's size, I demand it affect the carbies/egis, too. I WILL HAVE MY ACCURATELY SIZED TYR DAMNIT [9:28 PM] Starlin': Somehow I imagine starling would let Timeaus and Theodore sleep in her bed [9:28 PM] Starlin': Real night lights ™ [9:29 PM] DT: Synnove has a giant ass bed because the carbies all pile in it for bedtime [9:30 PM] Starlin': Yess [9:34 PM] Chaemera: Tyr is best mattress [9:35 PM] Chaemera: Ivar is for those cold Ishgardian nights [9:35 PM] Starlin': Eos probably naps in hair [9:36 PM] Starlin': Too bad starling keeps hers short [9:36 PM] DT: Galette uses bedtime as an excuse to try to break into the pantry, but Synnve has that shit warded. Then she sulks back to bed and curls up on Mommy's face. [9:38 PM] Jai: Heihei sleeps like he's dead [9:38 PM] Jai: flat on his back [9:38 PM] Jai: legs straight up [9:38 PM] Chaemera: I see Galette as the type to wake you up with her nose a centimeter away from your face, and when you're awake, you get CATBREATH [9:38 PM] DT: Yaaaaaaarp [9:38 PM] Chaemera: <MEW> "AAAAAUGH" [9:38 PM] DT: "THIS IS WHY WE DO NOT SKIP TOOTHBRUSHING TIME, GALETTE." [9:39 PM] Chaemera: "Oh god what did you EAT" [9:39 PM] Jai: ice cream [9:42 PM] DT: Galette makes faces as Synnove holds her under one arm and forcibly brushes her teeth in the morning
