Megjelent a Dope Calypso új albuma

“Ha Billy Idol cyberpunk lemeze sikeres lett volna, ilyen dalokat írtak volna neki”  Korábban két single és két teljesen más hangulatú, de mindenképp a “mit is láttam az elmúlt három percben” érzést keltő videoklip látott napvilágot a Dope Calypso most megjelenő Giddy Up című lemezéről. Az anyag kicsit visszanyúl a kezdetekhez, azokhoz az időkhöz, amikor a zenekar még az Index dalversenyét is…

Those are all of the current headmates comfortable with sharing a bit about themselves! I hope we can connect with other systems and learn more about ourselves in the process!

This is a huge step for us because we were always very scared to talk about ourselves but we wanted to have an outlet for our experiences to look back on in the future (and use as a reminder occasionally LOL). If we make friends along the way then that would be amazing!

Until next time friends!

Colors That Run Highlights 72

the party goes on a hike! haven't done that in a while. bittersweet

Shortly after Ana flew away, Valor received a message on her Sending Stone... from Luna. Valor then said that she apparently made Luna rather upset (Calypso was confused, considering that was sort of old news), and explained that she had messaged Luna that morning basically saying "I might die soon, so just know that I love you." Luna replied as follows:

Valor clarified that it was more of a "see you later" and added that they were currently near Avlas and may need to fight dragons soon. Calypso concluded that Valor's ex was crazy, and then Beldyr flew the group over to the newly reformed Erutan. Before they arrived at that decision, however, Fea thought to use her Ring of Water Walking to travel across the water on foot, to lessen the load on Beldyr. This was declined as it would take too long. Kattie wondered about using True Polymorph to turn someone (Egg?!) into a dragon, but this was deemed a bit extra. Calypso said flying the group over shouldn't be any sweat for Beldyr, since she's "real big." The ride over to Erutan took a number of hours, leaving the group a bit sore from having to sit astride a dragon for an extended period of time.

Once Beldyr landed, the group stretched out and Slim got to feel superior for being used to the bowlegged horse-riding feeling (something something this ass can take more than that). Erutan by the coast was... dead. Utterly void of even the smallest bits of life, and entirely uninhabited. Even the trees were weak and easily broken. At this point in history, all life in Erutan had fled north, and the damage to the continent had begun here. The party eventually settled down for the night and took watches in spite of the lack of activity. Calypso's watch bored her so greatly than she began wandering around and doing Dope Monk Shit(TM) in the trees, leaving broken branches in her wake. Fea continued to grow used to her living body and... fell asleep. Valor and Beldyr shuffled off on their own for the night.

From the next morning onward, the Breakfast Club traveled on foot through Erutan, still encountering a whole lot of nothing in the barren wastelands. Calypso complained of going crazy from boredom from looking at all the nothing, until Fea suggested she close her eyes. Calypso said she'd bump into things doing that, so Fea offered to carry her. How could Calypso argue with that?

The group talked about Ana and the state of the Heroes' Guild secretaries. Apparently some of the party thought she was the only secretary for the entire guild. There was some questioning of what was occupying the other parties in the HG this whole time, but ultimately that was chalked up to general chaos through Cordias. One night the party indulged in Girls' Night, which of course also included Slim and Egg. Calypso convinced Egg that Girls' Night was the path of a true warrior, and did his hair while Valor provided him with teeny tiny cucumbers for his eyes and a teeny tiny face mask. Egg even performed some karaoke, including Single Ladies. God bless.

Soon the party arrived at the town of Denal... which was also deserted. There wasn't even anything worth looting, really. Just broken down carts, scraps of belongings deemed unimportant, and no sign of anyone remaining in town. It was eerily quiet.

The party stopped by a nearby river before another day of traveling, and thus got a chance to freshen up in the water (which was empty of fish, by the way). Due to the de-clothed nature of this outing, Fea was reintroduced to a particular phenomenon of her newly-alive body and spirited Calypso away into the evening and despite her short fuse Calypso was very happy and supportive. After some traveling, the group noted that the landscape had been getting more lively and green, as nature usually appears. They arrived at the town of Nost, where things appeared to be abandoned much like Denal, but then Fea spotted three little flames of lifelight inside one of the houses.

Calypso, professional door knocker, knocked on the door. The person that answered the door was a rabbit lady with her two small children. She was very cautious and wary of the group, though she wasn't fully scared off by Fea's shaky charisma roll (even with her new body, she's still a bit spooky, being a voidling, basically-- especially in Erutan, a country under attack by the Abyss). Luckily the rest of the party coaxed the woman, Rea, into allowing them into her home. The real hard hitter though was Valor with some carrot-shaped Goodberries.

With the group inside and half of them preparing food for everyone, the party spoke a bit with Rea. Apparently she had fled north like the rest of Nost's population, but very recently the word from Draconia was that Erutan was now safe and everyone could return to their homes. Rea and her kids had been among the last to flee Nost, and so they managed to get back to Nost before anyone else. The party found it a little hard to explain that Erutan was in the future now.

Fea offered to fix up Rea's home, as there were some leaks in the roof. Since Slim was busy cooking, Kattie used Mending to patch up the leaks, which Rea appreciated. She was also rather impressed by the fact that Kattie was a practitioner of magic. Valor and Kattie continued to bond with Rea's kids, lavishing them with Goodberries and music.

The next morning, the party set about their usual routines, though also accommodating for Rea and her children. Calypso took the kids out for some good old fashioned Running Around Outside, until they heard some strange, scary noises. Sensing danger in the lizard-like vocalizations, Calypso scooped up the kids and hauled ass toward the house. She was being chased by, of all things, velociraptors.

Calypso hurried over to Rea to give the babies over to their mama. The rest of the group mobilized and got ready for a battle. Kattie provided the sick fight theme and Destructive Waves, and there were some rad combo moves-- including when Calypso got one of the raptors by the jaws and put it into a sort of headlock, then Valor shot it right through the vitals with an arrow that stopped just short of Calypso's vitals.

So apparently, Erutan is a little like Jurassic Park. Good to have learned. After everything settled back down, the group said farewell to Rea and her babies and got back on the road to Draconia. That next night, during first watch, Valor spotted a group of eyes in the darkness, glowing like animals' eyes do, and she waved. The owners of the eyes never approached, which was good, because the other two that took watches have very middling Perception rolls.

Finally, as the Breakfast Club got closer and closer to Draconia at the center of Erutan, they began to see people. People in droves, returning to their homes in the southern regions of the continent-- people of many animal varities, such as foxes, deer, and dogs. Calypso only kinda rubber necked at the dog people. The group also spotted a tabaxi mother and daughter, bickering about whether or not it was actually safe to go back home. The daughter insisted it was strange that Draconia's leadership so suddenly decided that the Abyss wasn't a threat anymore. By a stroke of luck, the party managed to encounter Perepi-- the author of the journal that led them to Erutan in the first place-- and her mother.

Valor went over to reassure them that things were safe, and Perepi was clearly putting on a tough kid front in order to protect her mother. Once they were sure this was Perepi, they gave her back the journal she had written, and she was very happy to have it back. Luckily they managed to do this without exploding the kid's mind with the fact that her journal had sat around for a gazillion years and was now back in her hands through what's effectively time travel. Valor bid them farewell with some Goodberries-- though Perepi refused, and her mother took them instead.

And soon enough, the party stood before the gates of Draconia, the capital of Erutan...

and to conclude, here's a haiku:

what is with caly and having sex in forests? that makes two nickels

Still Life Prose

Still life prose is a new avant garde style of writing fiction which is almost similar to still life painting and in it objects become a colorful, figurative, epiphany of writing.

Still Life Prose of sunset

The carpet of the sky grinned with red, orange and purple colors. The sky was dancing with the colors of various things, like beasts, monsters, goblins, nymphs, and also sky displayed the abstract painting of Picasso’s cubes. The sky was a hazy bard echoing colors in the fantasy of words. I encountered the sky with a playful poetic epiphany. The sky is a picturesque canvas of doped impressionism. Clouds were a moving aperitif of a dancing calypso. Art embedded in me like a playful poem.

Still Life Prose of an overflowing bottle

Water overflowed from the bottle and it resembles strands of DNA.

Szóval az egyik legjobb barátom és koncertremenős-utazós bajtársam, Zsombi intézett a Rotaractos sátron keresztül magának ingyen FOO bérletet és tegnap le is stoppolt Pécsig. Mindezt végig tudósította nekem a szobámba.

Ja és miután Keret Szülihaton közös abszintozást nyert a tombolán a Dope Calypsoval, ami egy héttel később, a debreceni koncerten le is zajlott (én meg kimaradtam, mert Racka Noise koncertet szerveztem) már olyan viszonyban van a zenekarral, hogy ő vadászta le a tegnap este elkallódott lufijaikat.

nice.

The party was on their way to Aldebaron, and for three days Fea prayed desperately to Gabriel during her morning ritual. This process left her exhausted each time. One of these mornings, everyone else was doing their usual morning activities, including Slim who was practicing yodeling and Calypso hassling him talking to him about it while she did her workout.

Then, Fea collapsed as she finally made contact with Gabriel along with his many siblings in the afterlife. Gabriel explained to her that Fea was actually one of those many siblings, and the royal angel family was her family, and they were all with her in spirit to support her. According to them, Fea was the only one who could challenge Aphaeleon and claim the throne from him-- to claim her title as queen. She would need to seek out someone named Astra and collect Knutt's Angels and approach Aphaeleon in the palace in Elysium. The angels' spirits would remain as a sort of protection/strength for Fea in the battle, and Gabriel would be the last of them to go.

When Fea awoke, she explained what she learned to the party. Calypso was very happy for her and also not so subtly smug about dating the soon-to-be queen of Celestia-- hey, that would make Calypso technically royalty too. Ridiculous. Valor wondered if this meant Calypso would "finally" stop calling her queenie, and Calypso said she would never stop calling Valor queenie. Valor acted disappointed by this, but it was clear to everyone she was lying, and that she likes the nickname.

Eventually the Breakfast Club arrived in Aldebaron, which was a large city mostly taken up by a military academy and housing districts around the academy. Many winged angels walked the streets, often bearing uniforms. The group began to wonder how they'd find Astra, but soon they met a woman named Ruby. She carried a bag with her that was decorated heavily with what can only be described as KREB merch-- pins and charms of the Champions. Her favorite appeared to be Knutt, as their likeness appeared most frequently on her person. Fea asked if Ruby knew Astra, which prompted Ruby to herd the group into a closet basically, so they'd be able to speak in private.

Inside this closet, Kattie finally learned that Slim's eyes are on fire all the time, and Fea explained to Ruby how she was related to Gabriel and wanted to dethrone Aphaeleon. Ruby swore she wouldn't tell anyone else about this, and agreed to help the group find Astra. Calypso was rather amused and interested in all the KREB merch, and in conversation it was revealed that Ruby made all of it herself, as she's a bit of a fangirl. She also had some merch of the Breakfast Club, and when asked who her fave was, she said Corrin (and interestingly, seemed to remember what he used to be like..?).

Along the way to Ruby's place, where they would wait until seeking out Astra at night, Kattie offered Ruby a job making merch in Dusk City. Slim requested a Calypso pin to give to Teresa, and Fea offered to spar with Ruby. Ruby was very excited by this prospect, and very much enjoyed getting her ass kicked by Fea and Calypso. Calypso enjoyed getting to show off her Dope Monk Shit to a big fan. She might be developing ego problems. Ruby also definitely writes fanfic of the Champions and the Breakfast Club.

That night Ruby led the group to Astra in a secluded building, and Fea showed her fancy angel sword and explained what she learned from Gabriel so that Astra would be on board. Astra pointed out that they couldn't simply run off and kill Aphaeleon; first they would need to provide evidence of his unlawful ascension.

The group deduced that the combat and subsequent murder took place at the palace in Elysium, but the battle for the throne isn't supposed to be to the death. So Aphaeleon likely used the duel to kill Gabriel-- and if the group could prove this, they wouldn't be put on trial for murdered Aphaeleon. According to Astra, someone named Pelial, the angel of death, would be instrumental in acquiring the evidence for this. Astra summoned Pelial, who then teleported off to the palace to do her angel of death forensics. Fea had an emotional moment considering that Gabriel perished before she could meet him, now knowing he was her brother. At the same time Valor wondered what would become of her brother, Honor, as he was closely tied to Aphaeleon now as well. When Pelial returned, she was a little disturbed, confirming that Gabriel's corpse was at the scene, and so the party should be clear to end Aphaeleon.

Astra gave a list of Knutt's Angels, who would be assisting the party on this mission. Sandalphon, also known as the Justicar, was Knutt's second-in-command and a sort of jack of all trades. Karacyn, the Avenger, was third-in-command, aerial combat expert who was very action-oriented but not great at socializing. Adina, the Guardian, fourth-in-command, great at defense and healing and possessed a warm maternal demeanor. Emmanuel, the Blade, fifth-in-command, great at offense and combat with a cold, aloof personality. And finally there was Ian, the Irregularity, who was charismatic and tended to antagonize those around him (thought to be kept around because Knutt thinks he's funny). Astra suggested where each of these angels would be, and the group split up to find them and bring them together to prepare for the mission ahead.

Before splitting though, the group discussed what to do about Honor-- he would likely be quite defensive of Aphaeleon, but obviously they didn't want to cut him down, being Valor's family. Ultimately, it was decided that Valor would be responsible for handling him when the time came-- whether or not he would listen to reason and get out of the way when the fighting started.

Calypso headed to Aldebaron's arena to find Karacyn. The battle angel was absolutely wrecking her competition and looking badass while doing it. After watching Karacyn's fight like a fascinated cat, Calypso flagged her down and offered her a cigarette and conversation. Karacyn took the cigarette with her mouth and agreed to gather with the others, and the two struck up a rapport by discussing fighting on the way back to Astra's place. (I swear I didn't intend to seduce Karacyn, it just happened--)

Valor located Ian in his modest apartment, expecting the worst (remember the last time she met a guy in his apartment?). He was relatively small stoner type and he kinda put the moves on Valor and offered her some weed (he lamented that he hadn't had his TOP SHELF ZAZA ready). Valor accepted the mid zaza regardless and used a spell to communicate with Ian's pet hedgehog (also a stoner) who called himself a different name than what Ian had named him. It was around this time Dex (and Malus) made me practically inconsolable for several minutes.

Kattie found Adina in a tavern and, feeling bold, put the moves on her. Adina took well to this and offered to take Kattie home with her for the night. Kattie was like, hell yeah, and she would be the last to arrive back to Astra's place. ✂️Unbeknownst to us, this was Bree setting me up for a spike later.

Slim found Emmanuel the Blade at some training grounds. He observed the angel doing some drills until he was done, then introduced himself and explained (briefly) the situation with the mission to kill Aphaeleon. Emmanuel agreed to talk more in private and they headed for Astra's place as well. Fea found Sandalphon at the library, secluded in a quiet room by himself. She politely explained the situation, and in his tension Sandalphon showcased his ability to crumple a whole book like a paper bag. Unhappy about meeting with the other Knutt's Angels, he agreed to go with Fea regardless.

With that, everyone was gathered back at Astra's hideaway... everyone except for Kattie and Adina. No one had heard from Kattie, so Calypso cast Sending to reach out to her. Naturally, it was at that moment that Kattie was rather... occupied, with Adina.

(i swear i didn't say "you coming?" on purpose but goddamn was it hilarious)

So, things would need to wait for a while until they showed up. Slim gave Ian a lecture about smoking proper weed and snuck a business card (which he has now, apparently) into the dude's pocket. Then... Slim sidled off with Sandalphon and/or Emmanuel, and Fea and Calypso grouped off with Karacyn.

ended the year with a bang and much laughter. now that's a 69th session
