Original Post [x]

The strange girl offered Belle a warm smile, as she waited patiently for her to come out. In truth what shew as about to do could have dire consequences but, desperate times. The tenrec mostly was an unknown in Restoration being that she worked the Archives and didn't get much sunlight most days. But her robust knowledge has been a boon to her duties.

But this was more personal so she didn't even known if the strange bot would help her. But at least she seemed open to help her, and it was better then risking talking to Tails.

" Ah just a moment... "

She fished inside of her leather shoulder bag and produced the 3 small orbs. She placed the smooth metal into Belle's hands and looked off to one side nervously.

" I had a good friend, he was a bit of an inventor... he made these and left them in my care, and i haven't seen him in some time. So i thought i'd try to get them working again... they are sort of made as his assistants... i heard you were quite talented and i thought... maybe you could succeed where i failed "

Of course they were from 300 years in the future--- but she was fearful of revealing that information to anyone just yet. Still maybe this risk was worth it, with the bits help maybe she could find a way to find her silver... or if nothing else keep her company.

Belle was only slightly wrong, he really wanted to blitz over there and find this GUN leader and give him a beating. But Surge was right, and belle to, and especially miles. He couldn't let his emotions get the better of him no matter how justified he felt in wanting to hurt them. His mother would be disappointed with him, she'd probably lecture him. You have divine blood sonic, you have to be better sonic, you can't just hurt people sonic--- damn it why not? People deserved it! what did it matter if his dad was a god? fuck that man and the cloud he rides around on!

Belle was Heavy sure but that was sort of unavoidable, and he'd drug knuckles around he was pretty big guy to! his divine heritage gave him lots of advantages and this was just one of them. He just smiled at her as she righted herself and stayed close in case she needed to steady herself.

" Heh--- i guess so, I get pretty sea sick actually. It's why i hate boats, and water... and boats on water... and water mazes... and sewers.. ya know everything water related... "

He also sank like a rock, probably related to his fathers blood, as most gods had a weakness of some kind. Even Demi Gods like he and blaze.

" Yea i figured if i kept to a low gear you'd be better off, besides it wasn't far enough to need cruising speed. Ah Self Improvement--- I don't think that's what they mean... but hey in your case! it totally works! heh! let's get inside and see what's up! I doubt Surge will stay put to long... i know i couldn't ..."

================================================

Altiss checked his chart for Whisper making a few notes and set it back down, she would recover just fine. Though the fur might take time to regrow in a few spots. Still it could have been alot worse, and he didn't feel a need to lecture either of them. They were soldiers this was the sort of thing they had to do, it was there job. Now if they'd just relax and heal up they'd be good.

" Hmm? I wish there was a miracle cure, but no i am afraid this will take time. Though i'm hoping by days end you can at least move and eat on your won. Just take it slow, the last thing you want to do is trip and fall and break something... "

The snake walked back over to Tangle taking her hand and turning it face up in his palms.

" Try moving your fingers... the anti-venom i gave you should be counteracting the poison. By now it should be taking effect, though it could take several hours before you have full mobility back... I'm a Doctor though, not a miracle worker. This is the best i can do... you are lucky, things could have been worse. "

He set her hand down and crossed his arms giving her a serious look of a war time doctor.

" You know all Octopi are venomous... including mobian Octopi... at there most lethal there toxins are 1000 x's more toxic then cyanide. Even if his is half that... well you can see how that would be bad. At any rate i'll keep your family out, as per your request--- though what do you want me to tell them? "

"You say that, though I still felt like if I hadn't stood in your way you'd have just run off to do the same as Surge. Stand there and look all scary." The only difference is Sonic's intentions tended to be more pure, though the Belle knew him decently well at this point. The tinkerer just didn't want to risk it and then the two speedsters starting to go at it in a fist fight or something.

Belle certainly wasn't expecting to be picked up by Sonic, and was sure he'd be in for a surprised as he was a bit heavier than she looked. The tinkerer didn't get a chance to protest the sudden action as the hedgehog suddenly dashed off. It clearly wasn't as fast as he could go, though still pretty fast for her. A moment later she was set down outside the command center.

"Everything has motor skills, they're important part even for robots. You offset that anything will feel sick, it just some have it worse than others." Belle was sure Sonic didn't deal with that issue too often as moving as such high speeds meant it would be harder to make him feel offset and sick. "This wasn't too bad since I've done a few upgrades to myself. If you had ran full speed it'd be a different story."

===========================================================

"Are you sure there's nothing you can do to speed it up doc? If GUN is knocking then I wanna be able to knock back if I have too." Tangle never had any interaction with GUN herself, though her father always talked about them. Maybe got his brutal parenting style from them too, so that was reason enough not to like them. Though her main reason was for what they've done to Whisper. The lemur would never forgive them for that.

"And before I forget, can you not let my family see me, or just not tell them if you haven't. Trust me, the last thing I need is family drama. I doubt you'd be very happy if an argument broke out between me and them." Not to mention Tangle would be worried Whisper might try to fight them if things got too out of hand. The lemur just couldn't move, though the wolf was covered in some pretty bad burns.

Ok, so can we talk about Punz for a second? Because like when I rewatched that stream the other day, not only did I notice that it was Punz who avenged Dream by killing Tommy and returning all of his stuff, after Sapnap and Tommy had ambushed Dream and refused to return it [details] (making him truly the mvp, who really doesn’t get enough credit). But I also noticed some other fun things.

Specially this.

And this.

Tommy punches Dream -> immediately killed by Punz [clip].

Like okay maybe we could make the point that Dream pays him to kill Tommy and reclaim all of his stuff [clip], but pretty sure Dream isn’t paying him to be so protective.

Oh! The headaches. Definitely the headaches :)

And I can teach him so much more.

You encounter a low level Mithra Thief...

"That's a strrrange place for a nap, Stranger."

You count your blessings she didn't rob you blind while you were taking a dirt nap.

"C'mon, lets get you up. Heading to Valkrum Dunes? So are we. Wanna travel with us?"

You take her hand as the mithra helps pull you to your feet feeling relieved she's on your side.

"What are you standin' arrround for?? Adventure awaits!"

Swords meet sorcery... and my mace-wielding husband.

Really, who needs hp or ac when you have a cleric who will brutalize anything that looks at you sideways?

I have to go to work tomorrow but holy shit texture editing was less hard than I thought*. The real trouble is getting the new head weighted which I should have anticipated. She may just be a gpose minion if I can't figure it out.

*When CSP autosave works. The head is actually a scaled up Dress-Up Tataru head with different textures and I did that first. I tried to do the Moen textures right after but then it never autosaved? At least it never updated the model as I was going. I'm gonna hope that a good ol' turn it off and on again resolves that issue.

It's this month's "Big Release Day" but some things still have yet to show

I wish the starter gear in FFXIV was available across all races.

I think I would look so cute in Hyur and Miqo'te starter gear. I've used the auri starter shorts in a lot of glams. The starter gear is good. But let me use the other gear without jumping through hoops.

Miles gets a video message from Belle

"You aren't funny, Miles. It was easy enough to back track the source, though I'd never expected YOU of all people to make a program like this." Belle was rather shocked that Tails made such a program. "Perhaps I should tell Amy who made it."

" Ah--- seems i've been caught! red handed as it were... "

He answered the Video call and grinned softly at Belle

" Ah come on Belle, a little joke between friends is harmless! This is a drop in the hat next to Tangle's infamous Ball Barings incident... I hear the chief still refuses to let her in the workshop..."

[atangledfate]

" YES QUITE GOOD! IF I HAD DECIDED TO OBLITERATE YOU! THERE WOULD BE NOTHING BUT SAWDUST AND SADNESS LEFT BEHIND! "

He was very blunt but he was programmed that way and there was little anyone could do to change him.

" DIBS ARE IMPORTANT IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE! ONE MUST CALL DIBS OR YOUR MEATBAG TEAM MATES WILL YELL AT YOU FOR STEALING YOUR KILL! OR EVEN WORSE! TRY TO GROUND YOU FOR SHOOTING AT THEM! IT WAS ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED ROUNDS OF 5MM AMMUNITION! SHADOW CAN HANDLE IT! "

"I don't see why not, and I'm glad you don't wish to obliterate me." Belle forgets that Omega is rather large, especially when up close like this as he towered over her. "I have the basic's of calling dibs, though I wouldn't mind you showing me what you know." The tinkerer wondered how and why Rouge felt the need to teach the other bot about calling dibs. She'd ask the bat whenever she saw her.

Gridania's new arrival

[boyquiet]

absolute gem from someone on the mgsv fridge brilliance page who seems to have turned off the game midway through the cutscene and never opened it again and possibly never played another mgs game either. if you wanna write about big boss pissing himself do it on ao3

I find it really funny that in Guilty Gear, Sol could’ve been even more powerful if he actually worked on refining his magic.

Seriously, we see it time and time again with characters in universe telling Sol that he strikes like a brute without elegance or any sort of strategy. But Sol wins. Like every time. Sol goes full throttle attacking with his glorified concrete slab and his opponents just can’t keep up, with some exceptions (Ky, Kliff, Asuka, etc.). So there was never really any need to improve.

Sol had the biggest hammer, and all of his problems were nails.

…

At least, that was the case. After the Strive story mode, Sol was depowered by Asuka at the White House, making him go from God to demigod (womp womp). Of course this has the possibility of basically forcing him to work on himself and his magic to keep up with those around him, or he could just sit around being retired. He’s saved the word multiple times at this point, he’s earned it.
