Honestly? Listening to Surge's plan it wasn't as awful as she made it out to be. her intent was to give herself up no matter what right? So if that was the plan, one last hurrah wasn't awful if he was being pragmatic. Did he like it? No, of course not! He hated the idea of her giving up her freedom to anyone! But she was pretty set on it and if it allowed them plausible deniability then it was a way forward. Even if he was sure it was also an excuse for her to have one last shot at him. She was as eager to throw hands with him as he was to throw hands with her... weird how that worked wasnt it? As for the soldiers they weren't sure what to think. Most of them didn't look ready for a real fight with GUN.

" You are right i don't like it, but... If we had no choice i guess it's a good plan. I just don't know if GUN will buy it or worse try and take us both out... "

He sighed and gripped his wrist rubbing it as if it was sore

" I still think this is a whacked out idea, you giving yourself up and all... Belle will agree with me i'm sure! Giving yourself up to GUN no matter the good intentions is bound to be bad for you... i know you are dead set on this--- but i wanna say it one last time! there has to be a better way..."

Surge wouldn't even get a chance to respond before Lanolin came over the intercom. Calling Sonic, and the others back to the Command center. Which had sonic looking up at a nearby speaker. This was either Lanolin having a killer idea, or bad news for everyone. Sonic was leaning toward bad news... he just felt it in his gut.

" Looks like we might not get a say either way... you need a lift Belle? i bet she'd want you there to..."

He'd hold his hand out to Belle offering to take her to the command center with him. Either way it seemed like this was the end game, either they pulled out victory or GUN Won and restoration came crashing down.

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

Miles tried to ignore how displeased Kit was with calling him his friend. That said he didn't intend to stop calling him that, he wanted to be Kit's friend. But seemed like no matter what he did they'd always be enemies. Chaos was he pulling a Sonic on this one? He didn't want to think about it. But Kit was right about seeing through the holograms but the idea was just to buy them time to form a counter offensive.

" You aren't wrong a sharp eye can see through them, but its meant more to just make the enemy pause. This is a deterrent after all not a means of attack. "

He tapped his chin and slowly looked up to the roof

" As for water... if things do get dicey we can set off the sprinklers. That should flood the room with water and give you enough offense to push back any attack. Heh you ever thought about hydroscopic water filtration for your pack? is always water in the air, you could probably pull water in that way, slowly refilling your pack over time. "

The head Nurse only smiled at the two seeing the tension and fidgeting with her Wispeon. She let the two speak before placing a hand on her hip and speaking up with a cheerful tone!

" Why holograms? I can alwaos duplicate more of myself! i can do around 200 at max... though that's stressing myself a bit. The more i create the less intelligent the copies become. but if you just need me to stand around and look intimidating... we can do that! Though i'd prefer not getting myself killed as it were--- i kind of remember when that happens... its not pleasant. "

She squeaked as if remembering several moments her copies died, and she had to deal with the consequences. Miles figured anything the copy experienced she also experienced. So they were probably a sort of hive mind, the more copies there were, the more connections she made the more of her was spread out among the copies. So this was how Altiss kept his base safe--- his nurse was a real power house when you thought about it from a numbers game. Though clearly she was acting brave, and probably not a good fighter.

" Neat... i gotta say that's a killer gift... but let's not put you in more danger then your in. Plus, you have patients to care for to... let's just stick to holograms... unless we need the extra firepower. "

Miles stopped as the intercom went live, and Lanolins message went out calling all of them to the command center. He gave Kit a glance wondering what changed but, guessed they should grab the belle bot and head to the command center. though he hoped Dawn and the others would be ok till they returned.

" Guess Lanolin is up to something... might as well put our plans on hold for now... "

"They can have all their fucking plans all they want, though it don't mean shit if I can speed blitz all there ass with my Speed of Lightning. If that happens you can play hero and 'stop' me, though that's only if we they start shit. I know you'll complain, though wouldn't hurt to put you in GUNs good graces while also hurting the numbers they got here, right?" Surge seemed to be actually thinking this out for once.

"Hey, don't go doing anything dumb either. I mean, at this point you've displayed a lot of your powers already, and who's to say they don't have counter measures. I know you have some sort of secret ability, though that's not certain to work." Belle had limited data on Surge, though hoped she could at least talk them out of doing anything dangerous.

"I ain't going to kill anyone, or even hurt them that bad. Mainly fuck up all their weapons and shit. This is a chance to play mind game with these fuckers right back, and who better than someone who's already a criminal. They think they have everything figured out, I'll prove them fucking wrong." Despite saying this Surge was sure Sonic would throw a fit and refuse.

"What do you lot think?" Surge asked, turning to all the soldiers. "I know you don't really like me, and there are reasons for that, though I saw we use it to put pressure on GUN. It'd look even fucking worse if they arrest Sonic after he saved their own soldiers, right? Maybe even win a few over." A low blow trying to turn the soldiers one her side.

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

"Then the only draw back to using holograms is a tech specialist with a trained eye seeing through it as I doubt either of use could make a picture perfect hologram. We'll have to hope we have luck on our side and they aren't able to see through them." Kitsunami himself could see through a hologram rather easily so couldn't doubt an agency like GUN wouldn't have someone on that level as well.

"I'm NOT his friend." Kitsunami didn't seem too pleased about Miles calling him his friend, though wasn't going to gripe about it. The fennec was fine with letting the vulpine handle the talking while he observed all the defense's mentioned and begin to think of a plan to execute the false defenses. Already he had one.

"Then the most logical course of action is make hologram of the turrets seeing as the nurse's are real and armed. Make them think we have more firepower than we actually do. If they do attack also barricading the blast doors as well will add even more defense." Kitsunami was sure with all that then this would be one of the safer places in The Restoration.

"That said, I only have a limited supply of water in my hydro pack so I'd have to worry about conservation. If anyone is available I could do with people starting to gather as much water as possible and bring it here. This way I can be far more effective in battle and do wider rangers of attack and damage." Kitsunami wouldn't be surprised if they went on the attack they'd come in with heavy force.

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.

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.

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.

Gridania's new arrival

[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.

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..."

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.
