one day ill post my pokemon games + spinoffs tierlist that im slowly chipping away at and have been since, like, june or july . but i dont think people are ready

[wesstars]

ducked out

tara carpenter x fem!reader (no pronouns)

summary: sam doesn't like what she's hearing. wc: 401 tags: suggestive language a/n: for the wonderful @evilwednesday.

masterlist

“Don’t you think it’s kind of small?”

Sam stopped in her tracks right in front of Tara’s door, feeling the shock of pure terror shoot through her spine. That was Tara’s voice, and while Sam didn’t want to jump to conclusions, things weren’t looking good for her sister right about now.

“No, this is an average size.” Your voice came through the door, snappy. In all honesty, you were the only one of Tara’s girlfriends that Sam had actually liked—she was desperately clinging to this thought as her mind went to the worst.

“It’s a weird design, though…”

“I like this design, Tara.”

“How much does it fit?”

Sam couldn’t make out your hushed words from behind the door, but dread began to ball in her stomach, heavy and sickening, as she couldn’t bring herself to just move. She desperately wanted to, of course, but it was like being frozen from fear.

“Wow, that’s a lot… oh—”

Closing her eyes in pain, Sam felt indignation began to take over. Of course, you and Tara were adults. It—it—was normal, perfectly so, but being faced with its reality… that was something Sam couldn’t handle.

“Just put it in!”

“No, it’s not going in.” Your voice floated alongside Tara’s. What the fuck?

“Try flipping it around.”

“I did, it’s not working!”

Truly, the world was ending for Sam. An apocalypse, natural disaster, global famine, couldn’t have topped this.

“Flip it back, just put it in—” Tara said insistently.

“Okay—”

“FUCK!” Yours and Tara’s voices sounded in unison as the door slammed against the wall. Sam stood in the entrance, panting with bright red cheeks.

“Sam! You almost broke the door down!” Tara was rightfully indignant, you thought. What the hell was Sam doing anyway, barging in and being impossibly loud?

You turned back, giving it one last shove. “Tara, I got it!” Sam dropped to the floor, face in her hands, as Tara faced you with a grin.

“God, you’re the best,” Tara said as she leaned in and gave you a kiss. “I was worried I’d have to go and get one myself.”

You reached out and rubbed Tara’s arm. “You can always trust me, babe.” A USB stood proudly in Tara’s PC, complete with a pattern of uniquely dressed ducks, of Robson...

A flash drive had ended Sam Carpenter’s world, and neither you nor her sister had a care in the world.

a/n cont’d: pranked… haha… happy fish of april 🦆

[dol-dee]

So... you imagine DoL set in the early 2000s? ME TOO. Tell me more about that!

aaaaaaa yes I do!!!! (Sorry for the late reply haha. I kept forgetting to come back to this ask) I think I started to feel that way pretty early on, since there's hardly any electronics around in game.

You don't have access to a phone yourself (which, admittedly makes sense as an orphan) but electronics get barely mentioned in general. (I'm guessing the true reason for it, is that it would be too much of a hassle to implement electronics as a mechanic in game. bc arguably you should easily be able to buy a phone or w/e later on, if dol actually took place in our time) Named npcs often have phones to record you with (which I kinda forgot about tbh lmao) but unless in that context, phones don't get brought up at all iirc. None of the named npcs ever ask you for your phone number and Social media isn't really a topic of conversation either.

The only Computers that I remember mentioned in game are Leightons, Mickey's, Kylars and the one you can check in the police station. (I don't remember if Bailey even has one or not.) They are far and few between. They also all read as desktop computers to me and not laptops. Hell, the only gaming Console to ever be a topic of interest, is Robins. I don't think we hear of/see any handheld conosles at all. Even TV's rarely get mentioned.

Pop Culture, like manga, anime and games doesn't seem to be a big thing yet either.

All of that gives me the impression that most electronic is still pretty sparse and hard to come around and kinda reminds me of my childhood when those interests where still conisdered niche/nerdy and weird. The few characters that have desktop pc's seem to be ones that had/have enough money (like Kylar, maybe Bailey?) to foot the bill, are either in a high enough position of power to own one (like leighton) or they're involved enough in shady business that they might have the resources to have their own equipment (Mickey).

tbf a lot of my reasoning can be argued against or easily explained away, but I think dol is infinitely more interesting as a game/story when it's set during the early/mid 2000s, where most electronics were still hard to come by.

Oh and last but not least: it simply makes for easier story telling haha. I think there would be way more ""plot holes"" you'd have trouble explaining away if it was set during modern times. considering how much digital surveilance we have nowadays.

Aside from all the examples I just brought up, dol just has that 2000s grime to me. It's so grungy and dank in it's vibes that it always reminds me of that timeframe. Just has that kinda clunky/kitschy charm to it. (a more eclectic personal explanation is that the seasons in game still feel the way I remember them for my childhood. nowadays everything feels really out of wack thanks to global warming. Although I'm sure that people who are older than me would say the same haha)

to keep this already long post short(er lmao) I'm gonna go into some headcanons under the cut; Basically which Characters have electronics and why:

Avery: has an expensive af and extremely clunky looking (by todays standards) work laptop, that she sometimes lugs around. Also owned one of the first mobile phones. Those really big and blocky ones. Maybe even had one of those phones that were built into cars. However, I think shed be kinda annoyed by mobile phones*, even if she's extremely diligent in answering her calls. (the grind never stops) *based on this comic from 1919 about pocketphones: Mostly because she strikes me as someone who doesn't care to be overly accessible and also hates it when whatever shes doing at the moment gets disrupted by something else.

Alex: Canonically has a phone in game. To me it's a landline phone. They don't own much electronics beside it. They have no desktop pc and no mobile phone. (canonically the own a tv and I feel like they'd have a radio, maybe even an old record player) Bailey: It would make sense for them to have a desktop computer but I can't remember if they canonically (and with that I mean in game) do have one or not. I could see it either way tbh. As they strike me as a stubborn hard ass whos paranoid about electronics and quickly gets annoyed by it) They only own burner phones aside from the official landline phone thats designated for "over the counter" orphanage business. Eden: Has an old ass radio and an extremely dusty burner phone that bailey gave them once. They don't own anything else

Harper: has a mobile phone they got from Remy, it's purely for business. I don't think they have one for personal business. They own a pager though bc of the hospital. They probably have a desktop pc too if only for hospital stuff.

Kylar: Has a Desktop pc, their parents footed the bill for that many screened monstrosity (tbf i dont know enough to remember if old pcs are even able to have several monitors connected to them or not). Probably had a mobile phone once. Whitney stole it. They own a few consoles but they prefer pc gaming (pc master race /j) Some 2000s era games (with no consideration for an exact timeframe) that I think Kylar would be into are : Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines American McGee's Alice Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 / Persona 3 Portable The Urbz: Sims in the City The Sims 2 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Robin: No mobile phone, the only electronics they keep around (until they inevitably need to sell them for emergency money) are an old tv and a gaming console. I have no concrete headcanons regarding the exact console and games unfortunately. (They seem to like superhero related stuff and I don't remember enough games that I associate with that direction of the top of my head)

Sydney: Has access to a landline phone but thats it. they don't have a mobile phone. Maybe they got to look at/ try out a pc at Kylars house once upon a time, but I don't think Sirris has one themself. I might be off with this but I could see Sirris being the one who bought a few early nintendo consoles like the SNES and Game Cube. Maybe even a gameboy.

Whitney: I don't think Whitney or their family is particularly wealthy so all of the access to electronics that they got, is either through wealthier friends, bullying or stealing. They have a mobile phone and probably a few handheld consoles they nabbed off their victims (in secret).

■ Characters

Owl

A support group for stray wizards founded by Michiro. Keeps radicalized vigilantes in check and imposes their own sanctions on troublesome matters that the law-abiding M.E.A. cannot control. The M.E.A. has placed them under surveillance as a dangerous organization. There are only a few members: Michiro, Moa, and Nika, who comes and goes as she pleases.

Michiro Kujirai (voiced by Soma Saito)

The founder of Owl, a group that supports stray wizards with no affiliation. He has a natural inclination to care for others, and looks out for the wizards and their families in Shibuya. —Michiro acts carefree and elusive but has strong convictions. He invites Marin, who seeks strength without concern for group affiliations, to join Owl.

Nika Meguro (voiced by Asaki Yuikawa)

An 18-year-old high school student and former member of the track team. She was on the verge of death due to being kidnapped, and awakened to become a wizard. Hiding this fact, she continued with her track and field career until her friend found out. Nika was forced to quit the club. Ever since, her attendance at school has been spotty. Nika has been helping Owl for a certain purpose, and met Marin by chance in Shibuya. —Nika’s combat style focuses on summoning magic. Her familiars can attack distant or airborne enemies.

Moa Fukamachi (voiced by Rina Kawaguchi)

A 20-year-old wizard. Michiro took her in when she was down in the dumps, so she’s been his biggest fan ever since. People often see her as a cheerful girl because of her bright and sunny persona, but in reality, she is prone to depression. As she must hide her identity as a wizard, she satisfies her need for approval by mumbling alone and upkeeping a private social media account with 0 followers. —Moa can change her umbrella into a hammer, granting her the ability to deliver devastating wide range attacks.

Mystictober Day 21

Mystictober 2024 | Day 21: YoosungxMC/Video Games

"Yoosung, how many hours have you put into LOLOL?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure. I don't know if the PC has logged all the hours I've done over the years. I've spent a few hours every night playing... so that has to count up to something over time. You don't get to number two on our server! It didn't take me long to become that rank, but it's taken a lot of work for me to stay there."

You were curious. "Just in the server for our country? What about the global server? Do you have a high rank there?"

Yoosung blushed. "I'm still not into the top ten in the global server. There are a lot of great players around the world who have time to sit down and strategize. I have to focus on my classes now that I'm so much closer to my graduation date, so my ranking still isn't where I want it to be there."

"What's your rank, though? It's okay if it's not that high up, I want to know!" You asked.

"Eleven," he muttered.

You were surprised he would kick himself, if only a little bit, for not being higher than that. He was facing off against people from across the globe! It was no easy feat to get that high! Even if you didn't play many video games yourself, you were amazed by how much care he put into his work. It showed his passion and how hard he could devote himself to something. "Wow, you're right there! You'll crack it in no time flat!"

Yoosung stared at you for a moment, before letting out a sheepish laugh. "It might be harder to keep up with it now, though," he said.

"Huh? Why's that?"

"I want to spend a few more nights a week with you," he confessed, heat spreading from ear to ear in an instant. "I love playing LOLOL with my guild, but I want to have time to make date nights with you, too. I can't always be online playing LOLOL when you're with me! I love it when you watch me play, but more than anything, I want to... to do things with you so we can share the experience."

You blinked... and slowly began to heat up, too.

"Was that too mushy?"

"No, it was the perfect amount of mushy," you said, leaning over to press a kiss against his cheek. "I love you, Superman Yoosung."

Hiya! Sorry about the radio silence, work on Fangst is continuing somewhat according to schedule and we definitely have new things to show off when time allows it! However, production has hit a bit of a snag in the funding department, and we've been needing to focus on non-fishing game work to stay afloat.. keeping the lights on and all that!

Its a general pattern in indie games these days that funding is hard to come by- luckily we're used to the cockroach strategy of development. Scrap & build, staying afloat, etc. These days Åge is collaborating on an agricultural sustainability game with another company, while i'm directing more efforts towards my game education job and helping organize the local Global Game Jam event in Hamar. (biggest registered GGJ event in the nordics multiple years in a row, btw!! :p)

But! Even with production slowing down, 2024 is looking promising as the year we release the Fangst demo to the public. With the current plan, we're aiming for a summer demo drop for PC on Steam. With some luck, a full release wont lag too far behind!

Right now i am working on full illustrations of side characters. I feel like i have finally nailed the balance on Alta's design. He's proving himself subtly tricky- he needs to look effortlessly but intentionally beautiful, but like he's both trying and not trying at all. At the same time he should look comfortably feminine, but not too dainty. Like he enjoys both a skincare routine and long walks in the forest foraging for mushrooms and berries.

Is he dressed a bit nonsensical for a hike? Yes, but i think he wants to look better than everyone else, no matter the situation- and that means wearing a crop top to go foraging. I think that's kind of powerful, and a statement in itself.

Fun fact about Alta: He's a vegetarian, not for any moral or health reason, but because its just *sooo much easier* for him- he's just that good at his job.

Take care! -Hauk

How does a world, a nation, a person grow up and move on after so many terrible things have happened?

10. what is the longest amount of time you’ve let a draft rest before you finished it?

i’ve had to check my files for this. Sweeter Days (latest fic i posted, touchstarved vn) was in the drafts from april 13th 2023 to the very end of march 2024. nearly a year.

(and i thought it was the longest, but if we count drafts i do plan on finishing, it clearly isn’t. i started writing Running From Our Ends (kuro) on february 3rd 2022. it’s not done yet. there’s also the Breaking Point (d:bh) sequel but let’s not…)

(also, i wrote Staring Contest in like a day. so yeah not all fics are created equal…)

12. a trope you’re really into right now

right now, i think i have brainrot about two tropes: temporary amnesia and one-sided feelings. but that’s mostly for reading, i don’t write that at all (well… arguably Dichotomies (bnha) was one-sided). i don’t write a lot of tropes, but recently a lot of my writing has been about the mind and the body in conflict but also being one and the same?

14. where do you get your inspiration?

depends on what we’re talking about. for original works, my brain is just a little weird and comes up with weird stuff very often. for fanfic, mostly just from aspects of the characters i want to know more about? like how i wrote Staring Contest before we got a more detailed idea of how bard worked. and for poetry, my shower thoughts are very weird!

(as for art, which is not the focus here but who cares, i enjoy mashing concepts together a lot. so when i do more complex pieces, it’s mostly just that i thought of a thing and went “make it kuro!!”)

17. talk about your writing and editing process

well, The Ota Method is a mess. but it’s pretty systemised.

have some kind of weird thought and deem it worthy of being written.

run to pc (or, if we must, notebooks) and write the basics down (sometimes, a few lines)

whenever there’s enough time for that, do a little writing session (with background music ofc) and write as much information and details as possible. most of what i write then isn’t the actual words you’ll see in the final draft. it’s things like “something about fear but no fight-or-flight, sentiment left aimless as the fight has left him already.” (this is an actual quote from the first draft of dadbastian week day 7) that indicate what ideas i have, what metaphors i want to put in, but are simplified enough so i won’t be stuck on finding the right words immediately. usually when that’s done i have a more global idea of how it’s all going to look. (sometimes, a whole passage is often reduced to a sentence, something like: “after it’s done”, which is again a real quote from the same draft)

then, i do a second writing session. sometimes it’s later on the same day, or the next day, or it can be ages later. first draft notes are put in bold so they stand out as unfinished. and then i just write. one draft note can lead to something like “— it is hard to see any fear in him in the complete absence of fight-or-flight, hard to put an adequate name on this aimless and dulled terror, and the calm facade reigning over it all. Sebastian would once have found it fascinating. He is now appalled at the lack of fight left in his young master.” (again, from dadbastian week day 7) the process is repeated as many times as needed to finish the damn thing. i usually write paragraphs about feelings first, along with everything that involves metaphors. dialogues and more descriptive parts are often done last.

when it’s all done, it’s time to proofread (ugh) which first consists in checking that i didn’t forget to write anything, removing some repetitions (and sometimes adding some), making sure transitions make sense, and asking myself “does this actually convey the right thing?” which never leads me anywhere. and then i read it again and check for typos and other mistakes.

then i sigh as i remember i have to write a summary and figure out tags for ao3, i have a heated debate against myself about the rating, i give up and just pick one, do the things, struggle with formatting for a little while, and boom. posted.

19. the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

well. i don’t do historical research because i hate history (and i’m very dumb), so that’s 99% of the interesting things out of the way. most of my research is one of three things: i’m trying to understand every single way a word or phrase can be used and understood in english (or just making sure i’m remembering it right, or checking that my vocabulary choices match the typical british standard), i want to have a specific image in mind about a thing i’m writing even if i don’t describe it (this is mostly about fashion. and food, oddly enough), or i’m neck deep into psychology and psychiatry for some obscure reason (so far, for all of my writing, i’ve researched anxiety, bpd, npd, aspd, bipolar but just the diagnosis criteria, ptsd, and cptsd. don’t ask me why, it just comes up!!)

I’d say the most interesting one was… well. it’s a tie between looking up the recipes of a bunch of lemon cakes and aspd.

It’s been a crazy week huh? I’ve got lots to say, so let’s go!

First off, AI “art” is an abomination, and the only reason to not abandon the idea entirely is because the singular way it can be useful is as a tool an actual artist employs to make some minor corrections, like noise cancellation. That’s it. But simply writing better algorithms for those might be all that’s needed..

Using it to generate imagery (and by that I mean, it’s stealing things it copied from prior inputs) is lazy, stupid and devoid of any kind of soul or meaning. Every single other potential use is harmful. Unless it’s going to be used as this sort of tool, it should be burned in the bin with those and we can all move on. Not all tech is worthwhile; need I remind you of self-destructive DVDs?

In my world, one of my old routers died after six years of heavy service, so I got this beast, the GT-AX11000, and the performance improvements are so tremendous I’ve made it my home’s primary connection point.* Not only am I getting the full download speeds I’ve been paying for instead of slightly lower, sometimes it’s even a few megabits higher on wired connections (like to my PC), and the triple-band setup helps devices throughout the house stay connected seamlessly. Very happy with it, and before you ask, yes I use the Merlin firmware suite as well. Being able to switch back to the standard UI instead of that stupid “gamer” one it defaults to would be reason enough!

* = The router & cable modem are on the 2nd floor in a corner, so I have another access point and a repeater boosting signals downstairs due to it’s location not being optimal. We have cameras outside that also require a connection, so the WiFi radius needs to extend beyond the house on top of that. Physically moving it makes interference worse as there’s an insane amount of traffic for a suburban area, and also results in wires going all over my room, so it stays put.

Slaver, son of slavers continues to fuck the birdsite. Here’s his plane status, btw. I’d care about his privacy if he gave a damn about ours. And don’t tell me the richest man in the world can’t afford anything; he could literally solve all sorts of global issues single-handedly, but won’t. None of them ever will. Fuck ‘em.

Grifter uses NFTs to launder money. Film at 11. The less I have to talk about that loser, the better...

And then, you know, I’m enjoying the new Warcraft expansion, happy with the new patch’s raid boss (!) in Fallout 76 and it’s associated Nuka-Cola themed content with most of it actually new (!!) instead of copied from 4, and all that.

Oh, and lastly... the king’s back! Now can we just get rid of Bobby, please?!

Hiii hope you’re well! i hope this doesn’t come off as rude or anything but i was just wondering if there was going to be a conclusion to members only, i just ask because i really liked that fic and the plot, but i understand that sometimes things get in the way and all that. again i hope this isn’t coming off as rude and you can totally disregard this!

Hi, anon! Thank you for the ask, I appreciate it. At first, I thought to respond quickly so you were more likely to catch it, but the further I moved away from it, the more I thought on it, and felt it deserved a more fleshed out answer.

You’re not rude for asking, and I’m glad you reached out. I remember very well what it’s like to be a reader that’s left wanting for a fic that’s seemingly been abandoned (some of my personal favourites have remained unfinished since 2006), so I understand completely where you’re coming from. I never considered that I might be that author for someone until I got this ask, so you have nothing to worry about. I’ve taken it in good faith, and if anything, I’m a little humbled.

The short answer: Yes, there is a conclusion! And it's...done. The final chapter is sitting at 27K, half-edited, and put to rest by me a while ago now when I stalled on the editing (my bain, my beloathed). I’d like to get it finished and out of the way soon, but I hate to make promises, so I’ve got a much longer answer below the cut.

The long answer: Members Only appeared at a very particular point in my (and everyone elses) lives. Covid was still at the forefront of…everything, and it was cathartic for me to outline and write here and there. I really like the characterisation, their dynamic and the world they were plopped into. The period of rest and relaxation (aka floundering on the editing) rendered it unfinished on the reader end for 2 reasons:

1) The world was moving on from a global pandemic whilst I remained stagnant (irl things). Like you garnered, things get in the way, stories need to be told at a certain time, and there’s a small ache there with tying up threads that feel a tad fragile and gnawed on.

2) The constant fluctuation of writing woes. I go through ups and downs with how I feel about my own writing – sometimes I read something back with wonder and I think “wow, I did this.” Other times, I cringe and think “wow, I did this?”. Fun factoid: they're the same story. I was just in a different mode each time. And I remember with stark clarity how much I did not vibe with my own writing at the point in time where I was editing that final chapter.

Fanfiction is an inherently selfish act, and because of this, I go with the flow when it comes to the things I share, and I’d be lying if I didn't acknowledge writing is my most emotionally taxing hobby. It takes so much more bandwidth for me than art and anything else that I have going on. Writing, editing, all that, it ebbs and flows with my mood. The state of the world. The position of the sun.

How much water I drank that day.

There’s a whole vault of stories and outlines living in my PC that may never see the light of day – but they were there for me to pour myself into when I needed them the most. That’s my satisfaction: the process, rather than the result, and unfortunately, sometimes that need or want being quenched leaves those that are along for the ride left unsatisfied.

And I get it. Cause I’m a reader just like you, and I've been left wanting.

I still care about this story a lot. It’s alive to me in a way that I can’t really articulate without you living in my head with me, and I know there are authors that might be reading this that know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s not abandoned – if anything, it’s so alive that putting it to an end is like a tiny death. There’s grief in finishing stories that are hard to navigate unless you’ve done it, and I think that’s one of the things that’s so personal to fiction – both fan and original – it’s just really hard to say goodbye sometimes, so it's easier to not say goodbye at all.

Thankfully, I’m in a place where I’m jiving with the words I’m making. Hopefully I can put that energy into seeing it published before the end of the earth. And thank you again for reaching out. Sometimes yer pal just needs a little reminder that her stories meant something to someone, somewhere.

Shandra cut dialogue for @songofmadness

Got to head to work now and don't have time to look for the PC responses, but here's more of Shandra's cut dialogue. Bishop and Casavir are mentioned midway through.

..............................................................

Shandra: (Embarassed) Actually... well, I did go to temple for a few years. But... with mother, I never really finished.(Reluctant) Not really... I mean, I healed some of the pigs when they get sick, or to mend a broken plow, but...I can't raise the dead or say holy words or anything like that. (Beat) I always did miss the scriptures, though. It helped things - well, make sense.

PC: If your powers were tied into your farm, you may have some druid in you.

| AVELLONE: Set global for Elanee asking.

Shandra: (Thinking) No, because even though I tend the land - it doesn't feel the same. I guess your friend Elanee would know the difference, if you asked her. It's like she's given herself to the land. Me, I just try to make things grow out of it, even when it's stubborn. It's hard to explain.

Player is a druid or ranger. |

Shandra: (A little rueful at end) And I sure can't talk to animals like you two do. Now that's something that would be helpful... even if the birds and chickens are half as stupid as they seem to be.

| Player is not a druid or ranger. |

(A little rueful at end) And I sure can't talk to animals like she does. Now that's something that would be helpful... even if the birds and chickens are half as stupid as they seem to be.

Yeah... mother got ill, and I had to spend most of my time making sure she was taken care of, and then there was the farm to take care of...And I sort of lost touch with it all, I guess. Except for tiny miracles here and there (shrugs) only the pigs really noticed. (Rolls eyes) And that lasted only a heartbeat before they started grunting to have their troughs filled.

| Player has more influence with Bishop than Casavir. |

Anyway, now that I don't really have a farm left, I guess I'm free enough to follow you around and learn how to heal people properly. (Beat, a little quiet) In Bishop's case, healing him isn't much of a change from tending the pigs, trust me.

| Player has more influence with Casavir than Bishop. |

Anyway, now that I don't really have a farm left, I guess I'm free enough to follow you around and learn how to heal people properly. (Beat, a little quiet) At least when Casavir isn't doing it first.

(Suspicious) What's the deal with Bishop anyway? Why is he following you? It doesn't seem like a good fit, ask me. You have purpose... and well, Bishop doesn't. That's his whole thing. He drifts, uses people, and moves on. You used to see that type pass through Highcliff all the time.

Why is Casavir following you anyway? He looks so... well, so depressed all the time. I thought paladins were supposed to be more... well, have more faith than he seems to have. This may be because I went to temple, but sometimes you can sort of see someone's faith - or convictions. And Casavir's - well, they're sort of slowly bleeding out of him. I don't know what happened, but it's not good.

Player: Did you use your healing talents on your farm?

Shandra: (A little stiff) No, I didn't. (Beat) I mean, I had to take care of my mother, and... well, the answer is, no, I didn't.

| Influence < 10 |[Influence: Failure]

(A little defensive) There's nothing really to talk about. I don't even know why we're talking about this anyway - Highcliff has nothing to do with this.

[Influence: Success]

No, I didn't do any healing for the people of Highcliff. It's because... well, this isn't easy for me to say. Trying to heal my mother... it didn't work, and... well, she suffered a lot before she died. It's made it a little hard to do the same for others. If I healed someone... and it didn't work, I really don't think I could take it again, you know?

PC: But you seem willing to heal us just fine.

Shandra: Well, you all seem like you can take care of yourselves - I'm not sure you even need me as much as you humor me.

PC: So you heal us because we can take care of ourselves?

Shandra: (Getting a little exasperated) All right... look, here's what I mean. (Reluctant) There's another reason I left the temple... it's because... well, because of the people, the people who came to speak to the priests.

PC: What about them?

Shandra: (Tapping into an uncomfortable emotion here) Have you ever seen people come to worship? They think you know things you don't. That because you can make little blessings, that somehow you see the past and present and everything under the Faerun moons and can make sense of it all for them. And they think you can tell them why their father died, why they couldn't save their brother... and... all sorts of things. Things you don't know.

PC: Sounds like that really bothered you.

Shandra: It did. And you don't have the answers - and you don't know what to do if they're hurting badly and it's not something you can heal with a spell or a prayer.

PC: So you just don't want the responsibility of people looking up to you for guidance.

Shandra: (Defensive) I didn't say I didn't want to help them - I just had other responsibilities, like my farm.

PC: That's why you didn't want to help the people of Highcliff?

Shandra: (Defensive) It's not like that. I had responsibilities to my farm.

(Getting angry) What are you saying? That I don't like watching out for others?

PC: No, that you feel helpless to help others. Or that you don't want to try.

Shandra: (Angry) Gods, you are self-righteous, aren't you? I take care of myself, I do what any one person can to make a living.

PC: But that's not enough.

Shandra: (Angry) I don't believe that at all. You may think you can do that, but you can't.

PC: I think one person can do more than that – they just have to try.

Shandra: (Throwing it back in the player's face) I mean look at you - you don't even know what family is! Or your home! Or who your Uncle Duncan is! Or anything! You're a stranger to yourself! How dare you lecture me on what I should do, when you don't even know anything about the people around you - the people whose lives you cross on a day to day basis.

Is it? What, are you going to give me a lecture on having to take care of my mother and my farm? You don't know anything about it!

 | Set global for getting irritated. |

Look, I'm done with this and with you. Leave me alone.

ETA: I went back into dialog.tlk to look for the player responses, and instead I found this:

| This occurs once players discover Ammon Jerro alive. |

Shandra: (Still a little confused by the revelation her ancestor is still alive) Well... I didn't realize he was still alive. That just seems... it is impossible. I mean, how old would he be now? I know sorcerers can live a long time – but I never had anyone in my family be alive that long. (Slight frustration, builds throughout line) And how come he never tried to find us? (Starting to get frustrated) When mother was sick... and when the farm went through the bad season... all of this... it just makes no sense.

...............

Well, that would have made for a different Act 3, presumably.

Also, there was supposed to be a dungeon (a cellar with traps) beneath Shandra's farm as well as escape tunnel(s), probably created by Ammon.
