just wondering, mango, since virgil was a much higher level before this and they’ve now done surgery on the Grape Boy, what level is he now? is he back to what he was or near it?
Not quite back to his "normal" yet! He's only regained a small amount of his power a week out from the surgery.
His strength will return to him slowly at first, as his body re-adjusts to old instincts, and then the rest will all come back very quickly! They will start to decay again just as quickly, though, so as soon as he hits his old heights he REALLY needs to book it for the Underdark and heal for real.
For now, his heightened senses need to adjust to the surface again. He's going to be in a lot of pain for the first few weeks; even trickling rain is painful to his crazy-sensitive skin, and rustling grass like sandpaper on his eardrums. He will have to spend most daytimes blindfolded to protect his eyes.
...Since the whole party has just LEVELED UP, here are their stat updates!
be busy. busy not checking messages. busy reading those books you never started or finished. busy having a good night of sleep. busy taking care of yourself and your skin. busy moving your body. busy helping your community. busy reflecting on your life and what you can improve. busy doing things aside from the capitalistic viewpoint of “productivity.” busy slowing down.
Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.
