#Underground Vaults

Lara Croft from the original Tomb Raider games is to the Adventure Archeologist trope what Furudo Erika from Umineko is to the Great Detective trope.

In this essay I will--

Basically Arcade and Riley's first outing together:

Vault 22 was definitely... a choice for a first adventure together. That much can be said.

yhhhh, i think the stars are not aligned for me to finish this playthrough.

It's rather eerie to think with the hindsight we now possess as an audience about how kind and willing q!Cellbit has been to every new island member to welcome them to The Order. Though some may have mistaken his perceived openness as naivety, Cellbit has always kept The Order as an open secret, a small but firm statement against the Federation who no doubt are very much aware of its existence by now.

If everything he said to q!Bagi was true, that he's been battling his thirst for blood for months, then he's been subtly building his army against the federation for some time now.

I feel like it's worse for fallout 4 because the creator didn't realize he was making them a war criminal by having them be the soldier that stands next to the one who shoots a man in the head

yeah but if i walked into a place, dropped something off, and like 20 minutes later a bunch of nukes went off underground, i would probably consider that it might be something that i did

There's no way that kid's mom acted like she could fire Kai.

Sure, she could take away his pay for that party, and if he's working for a company that does some sort of contract partying thing, she could issue a complaint, but she can't just yell, "You're fired!" like she's his boss.

i love how thoughtful blakes 7 is with set design and costuming. even if it will only be used for 1 episode they usually utilize their best effort to make it look good. pretty rare in shows like this!

Answers for the yoichi sibling questionnaire, from the pov of someone in-universe who has no idea what the fuck is going on or what's up with this questionnaire

Hates bank vaults- ... I don't really have an opinion on bank vaults? I mean, normally they're just something banks use to store money or something like that, right? I this is a trigger or something like that, though, I understand and I'll try to be accommodating, I guess?

Prefers Captain Hero to the Demon King- I don't think I've read that manga yet, but from what I've heard online, the Demon King is kind of a jackass, so I guess I prefer Captain Hero?

Villains need not apply- Don't worry, I'm a normal civilian. The most villainous thing I'll probably ever do is cross at a red light when there aren't any cars around lmao

Younger- idk how old you are, but I'm 22 so...?

Tolerance for PDA- Eh, I don't really care

Hair care products- I don't really care about hair, plus I don't really think that's there's anything that's been invented yet that could salvage my rat's nest lmao so don't worry about me stealing your stuff

You must be able to defeat All for One in combat. This is very important because All for One will certainly try to murder you for replacing him. - What. Who, what. Huh??? EXCUSE ME???? Uh, I regret to inform you that my out-of-shape noodle arms won't be defeat any, uh, "All for One"s anytime soon...

...Are you being hunted down by the mafia or something??? I mean that would explain the 'All for One' thing... and the murder.

You haven't read or watched Captain Hero?! Shocking and appalling. Kids these days have no longer heard of the classics. Yoichi has mailed you fifty volumes of Captain Hero. You can read it and then get back to him with your opinions. This is very important for your sibling application. He's also sending a detangler comb, detangler spray, and baby powder for your hair.

You don't need to worry too much about All for One any longer. The other siblings have him handled. That criteria has been removed.

New Week's Goals

Continue writing final chapters of Phagophobia (finish if possible)

Start learning how to make one of those Neocities sites we've heard so much about

Bonus: Write a little more Primrose Path just because

Rambles and excerpt below the cut

The end is nigh. Or, well, something that vaguely looks like a conclusion is. It's enough closure for me to feel satisfied that I can go back to rewriting Apophenia/Phagophobia anyway.

Even in their fragmented states both stories combined are now just over 50k in words. I'm expecting that to grow in future drafts to maybe 65k-75k. Enough to call it a novel. Eventually.

But that's jumping ahead again. After I write down the rough final chapter(s), I have to go back and outline a new draft. For realsies this time. Normally, I outline a few chapters, get excited, start writing, then everything falls apart because new ideas pop up. This time, though...this time I'm going to outline from beginning to end. Will things still shift unexpectedly while I'm writing? Undoubtedly. But I'm going to have to grit my teeth, go back to the outline, and see how that affects things when changes pop up. It goes against my pantser nature, but if I ever want to self-publish something in an official capacity...I need a plan to get there.

As for The Primrose Path, I decided to just jump around as far as scenes go. I have no set plot for this one yet aside from "Sun Priest meets Death Deity and they fight/kiss about the state of their world a lot". There's something in there about Shadyrus no longer wanting to be a god--the job kinda sucks actually, and they're smart enough to realize it. The trick is finding out how all this fits into the worldbuilding/cosmology.

Looks like I'm going to need another outline.

If you've made it this far, have a snippet:

Despite the lack of any other living soul, the grassy area above hadn’t grown wild. A slim path of white bricks, swept clean and only slightly mossy, snaked its way further in. Belly full of dread but heart driven by determination, Ân followed it to a small, crumbling stone temple. A storm or maybe just age had sent a large tree branch crashing into the roof, caving half of it in. Vines dripping with bell-shaped white flowers were busy pulling down the walls. The anxiety that had been poisoning him for weeks drained from Ân. This? This collapsing hovel was the symbol of Shadyrus’s glory? He could demolish what remained with a few good kicks. “Welcome, illuminator. We’ve been expecting you.” Ân tensed at the crackling rasp in the otherwise mild voice. One that spoke Heaven’s Speech just as naturally as he did. He directed a glare at the figure in white robes he caught leaning against the wall by the arched (and doorless) entryway. This revenant had once been a man old enough to be a grandfather. Its jaw and cheeks were coated in a close-cropped gray and white beard. A crown woven from the wall’s small flowers sat atop its soft cloud of similarly pale hair. Despite the creases in its skin, the creature’s back and shoulders remained straight and strong, letting it tower over Ân. “I take it your god is somewhere in this heap then?” he said, refusing to be intimidated. With its lids half-closed over eyes gone the same blue as the sky, the revenant took on a dreamy look when it smiled. “Shadyrus is waiting for you below, yes.” His heart gave a nasty lurch. “Below?” “Take the winding stairs behind the altar. They go down into the vaults.”
