#Should be Sunny gdi

[marmie-noir]

I have a few chapters written for Sunny and Mitch, and it was really nice to write for them again. Depending on how Sunday goes I should be okay to start posting for season 2, fingers crossed!

Fuuuck I should have picked "a sunny bake" gdi

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

@moldygreenblue (tumblr why are you always like this? ;w; lemme tag) 

I believe I went off on her a little before (outside her dungeon, x) Anyway Futaba’s there for a number of reasons:

 I hate her dungeon, her shadow, just her whole arc from a lore perspective. The rules are broken....no...shattered for her, not just P5′s rules but previous games’ rules. (I think I mentioned it in these posts x, x, x, btw these are all pre Royal.....Atlus probs saw a post about it and was like “we need to add doubts in Royal maybe now it’ll make sense!” srry boo but she says it’s no her mom and her cognition should reflect that right away you still messed up, also too little too late).

I’m pretty sure I remember talking about how I do no think she is a good representation of mental illness, she basically is cured with the “power of friendship” after a week (of being conscious), and they only use her lingering issues when they need it for plot reasons (on top of the fact iirc the writing between main story and CoOp is contradictory, iirc she’s like “MC you’re the one who saved me! I can only go out if I’m with YOU!” and then the next day of one of my playthroughs Yusuke literally picks her up and she’s like “oh I’m fine now, and it’s thanks to EVERYONE!” and it’s just....pandering for a romance in that CoOp). It pisses me off she’s the rep for mental illness. 

She takes up too much screen time, and it feels like a lot of actual issues/obstacles we could just....overcome is instead made so we NEED to use her (I’m looking at you dungeon 3 of PQ2, you can suck it, Fuuka should’ve been the focus, literally makes no sense for Futaba to be the focus????) 

Ties into point 1 but still deserves it’s own point. I hate how she’s like “THEY STOLE MY HEART! THEY CHANGED MY COGNITION!” but....we didn’t.......we literally didn’t. Did we help/save her with our intervention? Yes, but it’s not cause it was supernatural, we just showed up for her. Did WE solve her issue supernaturally.....no....not really, we didn’t get a chance (remember how....there was no treasure! oOo yeah we go into her Palace, but that’s not really changing her, it’s us going in irl and being like “yo ya gotta go outside! get that sunny D!” than us screwing with her dungeon). She solved it herself, Yaldy gave her the app, she ran into her Shadow, she accepted her Shadow, she solved it on her own. Not only is it a straight up lie, and conflating someone changing their mind/”heart” with the PT way of changing hearts (as well as the fact you know....we didn’t change her cognition, she did), but it also reduces her own involvement in her own healing process and overcoming the obstacle herself. We were just the spark, the rest of the flame emerged from Futaba. Like listen, the IRL stuff we did was important, but when it came down to the wire, it was her own memory and faith in herself and her mom that helped her confront herself and her false memories (because y’know...she couldn’t hear us). And it pisses me off that the writers would take something important to a character and her message, away for some bullshit reason.

I dunno some times she acted like an ass and it was just annoying, I already had Makoto/Yusuke/Goro/MC(even Mona/Ryu at times, to other’s not each other, obvie they do it to each other) kinda getting away(or have gotten away) with that without much reprimanding. (and tbh, anything that could possibly be redeemable, is either nonexistent, or overshadowed by the fact she’s mostly just there for her be connected to a literal mother of a plot device, no her hacking isn’t needed you have superpowers and another world WHY do you need to rely on her????literally states in the first dungeon you can’t use a phone camera in the metaverse even, but for some reason a laptop is fully working?????I know one is part of the phone and the other is a comp but it’s our only tech we know/can relate back to, so what does it mean Atlus? Is the comp allowed but the phone isn’t? Why? Just explain. Here’s one I just made up for you: Phone has to have the app open at all times in the metaverse! Or, actually no tech works well in the Metaverse, which means no laptop, one or the other choose please)

Oh she kinda screws us over, until we joined we didn’t have any connections to doing anything illegal. Yeah she throws that out the window. I mean we can always sell her out, but we are her enablers/accomplices.

Someone I know who was studying hacking at the time (for their work) was like “she’s kind of pulling that shit outta her ass.” And it hurt them to watch any of her scenes play out (I think the wire tap was the one thing she got a pass on tho). It doesn’t help it’s not really explained enough (so they can see if it’s plausible). To them it’s cringe, to me it shows convenience for the story (obvie I care more about how it hinders the story skadlfj;alfj and if it’s like they say, it annoys me even more). 

Spinoff wise I hate how she tries to grope Anne and Makoto in P5D, and I hate how she takes up a shit load of screen time in PQ2 (I don’t care Hikari is a shut in, gdi Fuuka earned that spotlight in dungeon 3, it makes no sense why Futaba would do it, hell Fuuka should’ve been chiming in due to her knowing what it’s like to be bullied, same with Rise iirc she was also bullied, like god damn, PQ2 really went “We’re gonna give all the screen time to P5 kids even tho they won’t really do jack shit with most of it, and just have P3/4 kids chime in enough to remember they exist”) 

Basically I don’t like what she brings to the table, esp since the game makes us rely on her. She doesn’t spark the exact same amount of rage that Makoto does (tho if you saw me my last playthrough during Futaba’s dungeon I’d say it’s pretty close), but it does feel insulting from a long time fan/lore fiend/just a freaking viewer trying to consume the medium that’s seeing there’s some toxic stuff in her writing (and I don’t mean “toxic” I mean “it’s really bad to freaking think that friends will fix your mental health, it won’t, and it’s unfair to you and your friends to even think of putting that onto them” bad levels of thinking). 

I also find she’s a wasted opportunity, such as “oh what if we solved this mental illness with supernatural means? what could possibly go wrong? Esp with how drastic the change is for other people we’ve done it to! :D” *cough* *cough* If only they figured out that’d be kinda interesting *cough**cough* Oh mean what a violet coughing fit, I mean violent.... >.> *in a bad canadian accent* I really need soome air eh?..........8U ANYWAY, the biggest role she serves (besides spotlight stealing to justify having a hacker), is a connection to her mom and showcasing that even “good people” can have palaces.....sadly the latter seems to fall on deaf ears on even fans of this game.....and the writers/characters. So uhhhh good job failing at the latter (for awhile at least), and uhhh....we could just NOT have the former! I think the gov could be shady without them also getting in on supernatural stuff but that’s just me. 030

jamzzz (the not-so-mini edition)

tagged by @blotthis TWICE! TWO WHOLE TIMES!!!!!!!!!! PUBLICLY OUTED BY THEM AS SOMEONE WHO STARTS MEMES BUT DOESN’T FINISH THEM. i tag anyone who wants to do it bc these are definitely fun to read.

----

🎶 blessings (reprise) by chance the rapper

stop what ur fuckin doing and go listen to coloring book. it’s such a good album and i just!!!!!!!!!!!! there are actually two songs called blessings, but this is the one that’s the last song on that album. and it’s just... very comforting and it makes my whole body fill with positivity, and it just... it makes me want to be kind to myself.

this is the weirdest description of a song, but i feel like... i’m being comforted by parents who love me. the soft music and the gospel choir vibes remind me of my mom humming songs to me when i was younger. i feel like my hair is being gently stroked as i fall asleep. i feel like i’m being gently kissed on the temple. meanwhile CHANCE. i feel like he’s giving me a pep talk. i feel like i’m getting comforting words of wisdom from my dad. IT JUST FEELS SO NICE like if a song could hug you and tell you you’re safe and encourage you to keep going.

ps. chance’s singing voice makes me feel like i’m drifting through clouds.

p.p.s. the part where you hear him chuckle during “i used to pass out music, i still pass out music” kill me

🎶 sleepover by hayley kiyoko

firstable, this mv made me gayer than i’ve ever gayed before. secondly, the part where she’s singing “c’mon let’s sleep in my bed (my bed my beeeeed), can i just be in my head with youuu” and she’s harmonizing on the “you” I DK I JUST REALLY LOVE THIS PART and when it comes on in the car i’m always singing the background vocals. speaking of background vocals: when you hear her just saying the “my head my head my head my head” softly in the bg it’s like... MAN idk but i feel like this whole song perfectly encapsulates being alone with your thoughts wrt unrequited love. it’s like one giant echo of all the possibilities of being together that could happen, but don’t. which, to me, is what it feels like to be in your own head. but at least this song is upbeat and catchy

🎶 never got away by colbie caillat

i feel like i should preface all songs with this, but i open at a coffee shop and the first 30 mins to an hour of me being at work can sometimes feel very... 3am feelies. and sometimes on the car ride there or when i’m setting up the pastry case and trying to Wake Up & Be A Person, i will hear a song playing in cafe and it gets me semi-emotional. it’s like my body still thinks this is the middle of the night, even tho it’s actually my morning.

BUT ANYWAYS, I DIGRESS. the first thing i could even hear when this song played was the chorus. the opening verse was too soft to hear across cafe, but the chorus picked up and i just...even without knowing the words it sounded gentle the way soft acoustic songs do, but the vocals have that... desperate pleading sound?? and i mean that as a compliment. idk how to describe it, but when i walked over to the lil speaker and heard the chorus for real on the second run through, i literally felt my heart clench. this song makes me hurt the way sheryl crow’s “favorite mistake” does, but like.............. in a better way. 

🎶 안경 (glasses) by IU

i love this song when i first heard it, but i don’t think i actually looked up the translated lyrics until like... months later. i just remember really liking all the dips in the song. it reminds me of story telling. which is hard to explain but-- you know what, i just realized why. okay BEAR WITH ME. so the music reminds me of a horse trot, which reminds me of travelling, right? which........... don’t judge me but THAT reminds me of the singing travelers from that a:tla episode with the badgermoles and star-crossed lovers that met in the tunnel. so anyways there’s ur six degrees of separation from STORYTELLING lmao.

listen to this song and tell me you’re not doing all the “aahhhhhhh ahhhh ohhh ohhhh-- OOooOOooOOoo [DRAMATIC PAUSE].” anyways, lyric meaning aside, i’ve never felt more like a lone lesbian on a horse in the desert than i do while listneing to this.

🎶 love$ick ft. a$ap rocky by mura masa

this is a really good car song! i mean, it’s good for any occasion, but specifically i feel like the song is in its element when it’s blasting from my car on a sunny day while i’m speeding out of the parking lot at work. i actually haven’t listened to a lot of mura masa songs, but the ones i have always remind me of summer. is it bc of the steel pan drumming??????? maybe. probably.

the lyrics are also fun to sing along to. WHICH I FEEL IS A SUMMER SONG REQUIREMENT. quesiton 1: can the song lyrics be sung to loudly and dramatically? if yes, continue to question 2. if not, then ur song ain’t a summer jam. it’s got VOICE DISTORTION (but you actin young WHEN U HELLA GROWN). it’s got the “visit italia, be my senorita” line which honestly i’m stealing for the next girl who dates me. DEBIT CHARGE, KERMIT THE DROG, MARGARITAS????????????????????????? but he should see the way she dance on me, wishin i ain’t have no pants on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

bonus fact: this song and the Another Round podcast have forced me to consonantly make airhorn noises whit my mouth at all times.

here are some honorable mentions of songs i;ve recently put on repeat and now have 9,230,842,930 plays each in my library:

redbone by childish gambino -- a good song to sensually dance to

faded by julian mae (2on by tinashe remix) -- hip and up beat and great to listen to when you feel like mindlessly jammin

t-shirt by migos -- hoenstly one of my co workers got this stuck in my head and now i just like it

diamond by f(x) -- a song i personally slept on when i first listned to 4 walls. traveler is still my #1 but this is definitely a close #2

hard times by paramore -- i can’t beleive i still live inside paramore’s ass and i can’t beleive i was hype for this song after half a listen

get out of my house by hyunA -- shout out to my favorite highkey dumpling blogger for turning me onto this song in the first place. IT’S SO GOOD, even if it is mellow and sad

girlfriend by n*sync - #THROWBACK bc i still love listening to nsync and also if this song ain’t so gd #relateable then idk what is

you & me by marc e. bassy -- the video is not worth paying attention to but the song is fun to sing and makes my petty side a lil bit happy

upside down by diana ross -- honestly name one bad thing about this song. appreciate your disco divas gdi!!!!!!!! they gave us the bops we did not deserve

view by shinee - recently rediscovered and it’s still a jam

Hey anon!! I adore HS aus so so much.

It might be interesting to see a light and cute cherik HS Au. I often see erik as a brooding character and charles as a personification of the sun so maybe a change of phase? Erik as the sunny one and charles as the brooding one? I mean, as in still in the confinements of their personality but yknow kinda weighed down charles bc of family problems, and a loving erik (his mom didnt die so no angst in his life)

They get partnered up for a science project, which is a subject near and dear to charles and so they become friends and then ofc the pining starts (omg i wanna draw this now gdi) but neither says a word they just kindda suffer through it bc omg hes my best friend and im happy to just be with him like this nothing more lol but then during erik’s birthday charles accidentally sees magda kiss erik and charles heartbroken storms off and doesnt hear erik reject magda, so the next day charles pretends nothings wrong and everythings all fine and dandy but ofc being friends erik sees through him, and so a confrontation happens and charles in his anger just pushes erik and shouts that he should go and find magda because shes more important than him now because shes eriks girlfriend and erik’s just like wtf charles im in love with you cant you see that??? Youre so stupid!! Then charles realizes theyre both dorks and they live happily ever after sealed with a kiss.

Any good prompts/plot ideas for a high school Cherik fic? I want to get one started but I have zero clue where I wanna go with it. - S Anon

While I love a good high school AU I don’t presently have any ideas.

However, I’ll put this out to my followers and some of my mutuals and see if any of them can help you out!

@mnemo-ink @ikeracity @turtletotem @lyricfulloflight @ournextdoorneighbor @jackyjango @kianspo @akasanata and anyone else who might be able to help out :)

For the fandom meme - A Series of Unfortunate Events

(this is not spoiler free and includes book info):

Top 3 Characters: Klaus, Lemony, Sunny

3 Least Favorite Characters: I HATE ESME SQUALOR A LOT, I don’t like the powder-faced women but I like all the other main henchpeople, I don’t like Mr Poe he’s frustrating and dense

3 Ships: Klaus/Fiona :( Violet/Duncan, Lemony/Beatrice (how can you not?)

3 BroTps: HAHAHA ok so... The Baudelaires, Hook-handed man and bald man with the long nose, Jacqueline/Gustav (or maybe more than friends tbh)

3 NoTps: ESME/OLAF (I like him and Dr. Orwell in the show a lot though omg hilarious) I think that’s pretty much it aside from any age inappropriate ships

Top 3 Episodes: Books; 4, 7, 11 are my favorites; show I like Miserable Mill parts 1 and 2 (note in my fav books list) and Reptile Room part 1

Favorite minor character: I’m not sure who falls into this category for this series!!! Um Jacqueline?

Favorite Quote: (I was so glad they kept this!!!) “It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.”

Favorite Actor: tough call--I think NPH just because he fixed everything that Jim Carrey did wrong and is both hilariously incompetent and truly sinister

Favorite Season: only one exists so far but I’m most excited for the third season cause shit really hits the fan in the later books and it’ll be fun to watch

Least Favorite Season: N/A

Favorite Villian: Olaf

Favorite Hero: Klaus

Favorite Ship Scene: >

Favorite Song from the Show: the song at the end made me CRY!!!

Most Heartbreaking Scene: almost every scene is heartbreaking gdi...

Favorite Group Scene: The scene with Monty in the Reptile Room after meeting Stephano is truly amazing

Character you miss: MONTY!!!

Character you think should go away: ESME

Unpopular Opinion about fandom/show: IDK I’m not in touch enough to know... I’ve spent a long time loving this thing alone.

Shanghai Trip 11th Sep 17 - 15 Sep 17

Time flies, it’s been so long since my Shanghai trip !! ●︿● This trip is definitely one of those trips I will hold dear to my heart because of the things that happened to Shenanigans. 

First off, the night before the flight, Claudia and Jiayi came to my place to overnight cus my parents were sending us to the airport. We ended up ordering Macdelivery at like 1am+ cus we were hungry lols.. After that at around 2+ 3am, they both freaking fell asleep wtf. Then there’s me, playing league until it was time to get ready to leave. Sankiew to Rtye and Daniel for keeping me company (/^▽^)/  Yes I ton the whole night LOL it was a 5 hour flight anyway so.. 

7/7 Shenanigans 

spot us !! and bless my bangs wth retarded. 

babes (idk why the picture turned out to be so blurry)

damn embarrassing to do this at the friggin airport LOL but tp pride HAHAHAH.

Luckily we boarded SQ and not some budget airline cus throughout the plane ride I was just sleeping and sleeping and sleeping HAHAH. I woke up to eat the provided lunch then went back to sleep again wtf. 

OH YA, we rented the wifi router from Changi airport and idky ours was useless wth. Ok not really in a sense we still could send whatsapp, telegram messages but we weren’t able to open snapchat and instagram etc. Throughout the trip we were just using our free 2GB data, which everyone used up by the 5th day.........

DAY 1 SHANGHAI

It was raining when we landed and it continued to rain until the evening so it was reallyyyyyy cold. 

Visited some atas stores around the shopping area which i forgot the street name but highlight of day1 !! >>> We went to Charles & Keith HQ Shanghai to walk around the office and sat in for a talk (which i didnt really understand cus the speaker was chinese). But later Charles came to talk to us in person !! He’s a really nice guy who’s very down to earth & friendly  (*^｡^*)

Had a solid 1/10 halal dinner which was the absolute worst meal ever in Shanghai tbh (,,꒪꒫꒪,,) Most of it was just the dish + 10 ladles of salt to the point where it just wasnt edible after a while cus ITS DAMN SALTY!!!1!11!!! Because of that I kept spamming water which turned out to be one of the biggest regret of the day......... After dinner, we left for our hotel to check in but then our bus decided to loop around the hotel 5 F R E A K I N G times cus it couldn’t enter the hotel for god knows what reason. We ended up stopping by the road side and had to walk to our hotel with our luggage gdi my bladder was #@%&!@  ヾ(｀◇´)ﾉ彡 Day 1: SOLID 3/10 

DAY 2 SHANGHAI

We went to Hongkou Plaza at like 10am but I remembered waking up super early omo. Anyway at first we were toured around the mall to like understand the layout and stuff about it which was really meh.. (the trip was more so for retail students but we are studying tourism so.. cant relate) After that we had an hour to shop yeay ٩(^ᴗ^)۶

Again, not related but we went Lenovo !! It was really interesting to see them test the laptops cus they say each button can be pressed like 20,000 times and they legit had machines to press buttons for 20,00 times HAHAHA.

Day 2 weather was gr888 it was sunny and windy

bb (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`) ♡

After that we went to a supermarket called HEMA which I only remembered on the ceilings of the supermarket there were like railings (??) Apparently you shop online then they pack and deliver your order to your doorstep so yeh.

lastly we went to this very aesthetically pleasing place called Xin Tian Di. A lot of places to take v instagram-able pictures !! 

literally my current dp 

At night it was just drinking night LOL, had girls talk and a running around 4th level adventure with Claud cus we werent suppose to be at places we were at. First time i was so scared and panicky wth skkrt skkrt

DAY 3 SHANGHAI

Another bombass weather day, we visited 2 universities, 1 kinda artsy and another electronics kind. Schools in Shanghai are so huge wth, there were a lot of open spaces.

This was inside one of the game design room I think super cute!! 

sorry I very suaku first time see chinese keyboard HAHA i was so amazed

Ended off by visiting Huangbu river (??) 

The sunset was really beautiful !! 

tp pride post again HAHAH. It took so long just to take photos bc people there really don’t give a shit and will just walk right in front of you ahahah but oh well. 

Finally had our girls night out ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡ We ate  Häagen-Dazs, then tried to find H&M which took us about 20 minutes. Even though it was only like a 5 minutes walk from our hotel wth, no one knew the way HAHA. Afterwards, we tried taking a cab but then the uncle was REALLY RUDE. Like he freaking chased us out and called us shabi rofl okden, but all is well!! we found H&M on our own, bought what we wanted and stumbled across this really cute bubbletea shop & a really really nice lady !! They were having a 1 for 1 and the lady was superrr friendly, she recommended us the more popular drinks and told us how to properly drink it. She was just really nice la, this is why you should not let one negative person affect your entire day wew my night was made keke ♡〜٩(^▿^)۶〜♡

the drink itself was really good !!!  This night, 7/7 finally sat down and just talked things out among us, cleared and sorted our misunderstandings. I’m really glad we didnt drag things on even further, we bonded and got a lot closer as a clique. We shared our life problems, saw each other cry and voiced out our kept in feelings. It’s actually my first time sorting shit out with a clique so maturely, instead of just playing the cold war game.  They say its hard to find true friends in Poly but i think this noisy bunch will stay together for a long long time ヾ(＾-＾)ノ

DAY 4 SHANGHAI

Meeting time was 8am, Claud and I woke up at 7.58am NO FREAKING JOKE. We managed to rush and reach downstairs by like 8.15am but the group haven’t even gathered yet lol.. First stop was Shanghai Institution of Visual Arts (SIVA) 

It was mostly fashion design and again another huge campus tour 

and finally the highlight

of the entire trip

D I S N E Y L A N D ! ! ! 

we bought the headbands (⌯⌅⌄⌅)

Vlogged a lot at disneyland so I’ll just upload the vlogs for memory sake HAHAH. Shanghai disneyland is a lot bigger than HK’s but the amount of poeple is freaking insane omfg.

We went on like 7 (?) rides in total and there were 2 rides I couldnt join cus of mi weak heart and Eli accompanied me for 1 of them (lowkey bcs he’s a pussy) and we went through a maze.

Super unlucky it rained half way through the day fml. Plus it was really windy, but we decided to go on this ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_eoyjGS6fc which made all of us screamed like pussies.

The most disappointing thing was that there was NO FREAKING FIREWORKS BY THE CASTLE!!!

It was so beautiful (●♡∀♡))ヾ☆*。 I was so freaking upset fml but it was a good day!! Had our girls night, did masks and talked hehe.

DAY 5 SHANGHAI

Went to some furniture expo and we didn’t do much except take photos and walked around like it was IKEA LOL. 

(we didnt smoke ok part of aesthetics)

Soon after, we had to leave for the airport where Eli got me a panda plushie HAHAH he got a plushie for everyone except Ash and Car bcs they had to share a giant Judy Hoops plushie they named Cash. 

OKAY ITS END OF MY DAMN LONG OVERDUE POST. thank you Shenanigans for this amazing and memorable trip, xiao lou loves y’all (⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡

Update: I’m!! finally!! done!! editing!! the!! vlog!! 

Everything was filmed on my iphone and edited with iMovie which explains the nooby-ness

Alaska:  Day 24, New Rebel Base

[[ They've arrived in the next rebel base, their giant insectoid "pilot" coming to a stop at a large growth of moss and flowers on the cavern ceiling to munch away. A rebel conductor helps them out of the basket and back into the tunnels, where they're informed once again that they stand to meet the small group that will lead them to the lusus keeping hold and assist them in securing their transport to Minnesota. They wait in a room while the troupe is summoned. ]]

REDGLARE: -She found it kind of peaceful, on the giant bug basket. A lot of time to think. Now she's hobbling off and having to walk again hurts a whole fuckload, don't it? Urgh. She leans back and folds her arms as she waits.-

[[ The bandages have gotta be hella itchy, too. ]]

REDGLARE: >;/

LATULA: -WALKING BACK AND FOURTH A BUNCH NO LESS-

DAVE: -he's been compliant and talking incessantly but hey, he's alive. the room they're in makes a nice shelter, but he's antsy- heres an idea

DAVE: teleporters

MINDFANG: -The bug basket wasnt awful, but still she was glad to be moving along. The sooner the better really. And also not having to move much after her chest trauma was great, but now was the time to suck it up again and she leans against one of the walls while digging her fingers into the small crevices of her bionic arm to see if she can adjust anything in there to make it any semblance of slightly more functional.-

HESONY: =mrrrg... He approached Mindfang and made a gesture towards her arm. In addition to that, he makes a face at her digging.= :\

MICEXA: -how rich do u think this operation is-

MICEXA: -that's the look she is currently giving Dave, but she quickly readjusts to look at Sunny-

MINDFANG: -Slowly looks up at him, do you see the look in her one eye? Do you see how she imagines destroying you.-

MINFANG: Can I help you.

HESONY: At the rate you're going, your arm is gonna go limper than a droopy bulge.

HESONY: =He held out his hand offering and open= Let me Help you?

LATULA: (pff h4h44h4h4h4h4h4)

DAVE: nice

MINDFANG: -Turns her death glare briefly on Latula.-

MINDFANG: Your use of descriptors m8kes it almost impossi8le to say no. -Shes being sarcastic.-

LATULA: >8P

HESONY: That makes it all easier then. =with one hand he took her arm and inspected it, running a finger over a nasty looking puncture.=

MINDFANG: -EXCUSE.-

MINDFANG: -Sorry hes getting punched in the face, you dont just grab someones arm. Here comes her fist.-

LALTULA: OH SN4P DOG

HESONY: =well he should have expected that tbh=

HESONY: =the blow staggers him and he straightened from it, wiping blue from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.=

HESONY: You do realize punching me only exacerbates the problem.

MINDFANG: -Yeah it kind of did, her metal hand struggles to open again, making several clicking noises as the fingers uncurl.- Yes I am aware.

MINDFANG: And it was still worth it. -She almost smiles when she sees the blood. Almost. Its satisfying.-

MICEXA: !!

MICEXA: -SLIDES IN BETWEEN THEM AGGRESSIVELY-

MINDFANG: -DO YOU WANT A PUNCH TOO? She will give them out for free.-

MINDFANG: -Eyes her as she cradles her arm.-

REDGLARE: Stop 1t.

REDGLARE: W3'v3 got mor3 f1ghts 4h34d of us.

REDGLARE: L3t h1m f1x 1t.

DAVE: we also got a lot of distance to travel

DAVE: before the fights

HESONY: =he sneered from around Miss= Just thought you ought to know you Have a malfunctioning piston and the shock absorbers are shot to Hell.

HESONY: However I don't entirely blame you. Most of your group is rather dull-witted.

DAVE: maybe were gonna spice it up

DAVE: bam traveling fights

DAVE: wheres my goddamn train

DAVE: gotta bounce on the cars

MINDFANG: I can travel fine with it in this condition, and o8viously it is still useful enough to fight. -Just not...ideal. She can make it work.-

MINDFANG: And what makes you so qualified to make the repairs anyway.

HESONY: ...

HESONY: You Have got to be kidding—

HESONY: =he pulled off his right glove and clenched and unclenched his metal hand.=

MINDFANG: -Watches him, unimpressed.- Having a 8ionic replacement does not qualify you to fix one.

MICEXA: -pinches the bridge of her nose... sunny why... why must you care so much and be so cute-

HESONY: Things work differently in the League.

HESONY: You learn or you die.

HESONY: =not cute. bamf. look at me=

MICEXA: -YEAH BUT U CUTE THO-

[ !!! SUDDENLY !!! A truck with enormous mud and slush caked treads pulls in outside, seeming to grind down the rough terrain with ease. There's some kind of machine gun rotating around the roof although its' not currently in use. There are several trolls hanging off of it. If the gang is inside, they can hear the roar of the motor signalling it's arrival. VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOM. (do u like my sfx) ]

MINDFANG: Thats no new knowledge. Any wriggler worth its half formed 8rain cells should know that.

HEITOR: -snuffles while hanging off the edge of the truck. HE IS A BIG.-

AQUILA: -actually is one of the unlucky folk stuffed inside with the gigantic driver :[-

HESONY: That is more than enough to be qualified. What, do you require a certificate?

LATULA: -peeps outside to look at the truck-

LATULA: uh yo.

LATULA: w3 w41t1n on som3on3 h3r3?

MINDFANG: I might considering I have no personal investment in trusting your word-- -Turns to look at Latula.-

HEITOR: -GASMASK STARES FROM OUTSIDE. Heseems to be hauling some kind of gigantic backpack, along with several toolboxes worth of tools on his belt and pants.-

LATULA: uhh

LATuLA: y3s.

HESONY: FINE. Let it fall apart or become dead weight, but don't make this a liability to everyone else.

HESONY: =He finally glanced up as they exited the vehicle.= Apparently.

REDGLARE: -HOBBLING TO EXIT AND SHOVES THE DOOR OPEN HARSHLY, staring at the truck.-

REDGLARE: Who 1s your l34d3r.

MINDFANG: -Thats harsh redglare.-

HEITOR: -SNORTS behind his mask, adjusting a nozzle on his backpack.-

DAVE: now the partys here

ULFURA: -She ALSO hangs off the outside of the truck, trying to peek around Heitor to see the new guys and having a REALLY HARD TIME.- HEEEYYY???

REDGLARE: 1s th4t you?

HEITOR: -SNORTS again and leans back.-

ULFURA: NO!!! ARE YOU KIDDING???

ULFURA: -LEAPS from the truck to eyeball them -- yeah, she is smol. SHE SQUINT.-

DAVE: this looks like a fun one

MINDFANG: -Small and squinty? What a combination.-

URSAIS: -Has difficulty parking. Eventually gives up and just KICKS DOOR OF THE TRUCK OPEN with furry boot. Out comes the burr troll. She is enormous, WIDE AND LONG even compared to someone like Heitor. - o'hm serRRy bout the trRuck fuckin rRickety piece a shit. AY.

HEITOR: -GRUNTS and punches ursais in the arm.-

HEITOR: -DONT INSULT HIS HANDIWORK-

ULFURA: -frankly just dwarfed by every single one of these guys-

ULFURA: -she doesn't watch enough TV to know you... tbh she doesn't know most of you. BUT SHE LIKES THAT SMALL WEIRDO LOOKING ONE, THE RED GUY WITH THE FINS. She's pretty sure he's a guy who would angry squat.-

URSAIS: -VAGUE SWEEPING GESTURE.- arRight well you lot get all yerRR shit redy trRy to travel as light as possible tho.

MITUNA: -Floats quietly-

[[ It's cold and snowy out still, and that and the darkness offers them a fair amount of general cover. It shouldn't be a terribly far walk to the lusus holding encampment, but they'll have to go through some woods on the way. ]]

REDGLARE: -no thank u she will FORCE HER WAY THROUGH THE PAIN-

REDLGARE: -GRAHH-
