E.G.O. Bonus Round

@chaserainbows @ambivalentatmosphere

Ethan - Headless Ichthys/Fluid Sac (Limbus Company)

I don't need to explain this one. It speaks for itself. Dreaming Current and its Aberration, Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent, are also viable options, but I feel like the former doesn't fit him, and the latter is hella Archie-coded, and I don't think Ethan would want to step on Archie's toes like that.

Cordie - Happy Teddy Bear/The Forgotten (LoR)

Hurting Teddy Bear, its Aberration, also fits here, but the original fits more because it resembles Corduroy (as in, the bear) more. The LobCorp E.G.O., Bear Paws, is kinda ugly imo, so he gets the better version. He deserves it.

Mindy - The Adult Who Tells Lies/False Throne (LoR)

The Adult is an amalgamation of the Wicked Witch, Oz, and possibly Mombi, and well... the name is on the tin. In the version of The Wizard of Oz that happens in the PMverse, they trick Ozma, resulting in Ozma being turned into her more monstrous form, before doing the same to the main cast, Jackass Genie-style, before being killed by the Woodsman and having their heart stolen. You cannot get more Mindy-core than this.

Aaron - Shock Centipede/AEDD (Limbus Company)

Literally the only bug or bug-coded Abno that isn't a fairy, ties into hierarchy/familial themes, or doesn't fit his vibe/doesn't look appealing (looking at you, Exuviae,) other than Legerdemain, which... comes from a very specific Abno, let's just say. Granted, he doesn't have many of the same themes going on as the Centipede, but it's a bug. And it looks cool.

Anabel - Wayward Passenger/Dimension Shredder (Limbus Company)

She's a Faller. This is literally the only thing I can give her that would do that concept justice. Also this E.G.O. is so gory that the banner trailer for Yi Sang and Hong Lu's versions had to get censored on YouTube. Yi Sang and Outis' versions also have some of the coolest animations in the game, they're SO GOOD. Also, if you know the concept/lore behind this Abno, it's extra messed-up and it's great.

"HOLY ZACIAN, THAT IS LOUD!"

[murmursdraconic]

"No he's right: I was curious and I will not judge him for it."

Blame her cousins on that one.

Be honest, what are your thoughts on each member of the Elite 4?

send me "be honest…" with a question your muse has been dying to ask mine and they'll answer truthfully.

"Each of them are people who I deeply admire and respect. I consider them some of my closest friends.

Sidney is the closest to me out of the 4 of them. He's reliable and quick-witted. He's the one who'll actually bother trying to find me when I've lost track of time and been out caving and training for too long. I'm sure I drive him mad sometimes with that. But I'm thankful that no matter how frustrating he may find my habit to wander off, he still remains a good friend.

Phoebe feels somewhat like what I guess a little sister must feel like. She always makes me smile, and her passion and skill is something I want to watch continue to grow. Even if ghosts unsettle me, her connection to them is inspiring to me.

Glacia is the kind of person who keeps a level head no matter the situation. Gives great advice and even better knowledge. I'm grateful to have someone like her in the League.

Drake I've known since I was little. My father used to go out fishing with him. To be standing with him as an equal was once a distant hopeful wish. To now be not long standing alongside him, but his boss feels surreal. It's one of the greatest honours."

[melemeleguardian]

Cordie's on his day off from work, and as such he took the opportunity to bug Koko into taking some pictures at the beach. He's using his model knowledge to find the best angles and poses, so he probably really likes his job.

Or maybe Koko was right and his passions are misplaced, but that's not the point right now.

"Come on, look at the camera and hit a cool pose!"

"Cool Pose? You mean like this?" Modeling always did sound fun to Koko. Being able to pose and be sexy and be paid for it? It sounded like a good deal to him.

That being said he wasn't sure if having Cordie direct him was a good or bad idea yet, but there was probably no harm in trying... right?

Anyway, Koko tried posing in a martial arts pose. It was the first thing that came to mind when he heard the word cool pose. He knew his face was just him being awkward but he could fix that after he got the pose right.

"Is this pose okay?"

△ Jules, what’s the scariest experience you’ve had at work?

Send me a △ and ask a really invasive question aimed at my character

"Hm...I'm suppose that would be a four or so.

If we want to be liberal with the term 'at work', nothing is ever going to top The Ultimate Weapon. However, I was an intern at the time, and very intentionally kept as far away from the story for as long as they could keep me away, for obvious reasons.

Since then, I've interviewed my fair share of dangerous people-I've almost built a name on it, really. And it never should feel any less scary, knowing you could easily be walking into a trap or a hostage situation. But I think...it's the things you don't see coming that are scarier still.

For example, there was a time I managed to get some connections to interview a Unovian crime lord. There were a lot of hoops to jump through on my part, and of course I knew they were doing their research on me in the meantime-that's how this usually goes, though it's gotten more streamlined the more stories I publish. But eventually everything was set up.

Before I left the office to catch my plane, I was chatting with my coworkers about various things: plans for a visit back home, an author I'd been interested in recently, bemoaning that I was running low on my favorite perfume, you know the type of thing. Nothing special. My taxi arrived, I said my goodbyes, and I was off.

Everything went smoothly on the trip, and in getting the article written and published. I got home a little late that night, though...

There was a gift on the coffee table, along with a nice bottle of red wine. And a note, from the crime lord:

Sorry that I missed you. I wanted to congratulate you personally, but business calls.

The gift was brand-new bottle of my favorite perfume, which isn't a very mainstream brand. I've always made a point not to drop it's name-it's fun to have a little secret like that, you know?

...Sometimes you underestimate exactly how many strings are being pulled in the shadows. I'm sure I'll hear something from him again now that I've brought it up."

"Ya can't beat me, that ain't fair!!"

[electricea]

The Grimace shake mysteriously gets delivered to Ryuji. Did someone buy it for him?

"Heh, finally I get to try one! Well, bottoms up!"

@ambivalentatmosphere / Ethan (Cont.) “See? I've still got it! My aim's pretty good, right?”

Ethan  had  been  continuously  bragging  about  his  impeccable  aim  for  the  past  few  days.  Might  as  well  put  that  claim  to  the  test.  Of  course,  he  had  shown  off  his  skills  before  with  the  crossbow.  But  it  was  fun  to  tease  this  capability.  Sitting  in  a  chair,  her  rotom  phone  hovered  nearby  her  person  in  case  anything  delivery  requests  were  to  chime  through.

"Do  I  look  like  the  type  of  person  that  would  use  someone's  own  secrets  against  them?"  Lynn  asked  almost  feigning  disbelief  in  her  voice.

"Besides,  I  thought  you  knew  that  asking  a  lot  of  questions  is  a  common  habit  among  scientists...  and  yes,  perhaps  this  is  a  way  to  get  back  for  that  curse  you  supposedly  inflicted  on  me~"

Even  though  she's  witnessed  these  skills  before  it  never  ceased  to  impress  her.  An  approving  smile  formed  across  her  features  when  the  bullseye  was  struck.  Plus  there  was  a  tinge  of  envy,  too.

"It's  certainly  a  lot  better  than  mine.  But  the  question  now  is  what  or  rather  who  has  been  your  current  targets  lately?"

[flock-keeper]

"Hmm...that does make sense since I don't use my real name for my music career."

[shadowsightings]

Kasai spawns out of nowhere like some kind of evil fairy godmother.

Godfather? You know the metaphor.

"I heard you liked cosplay."

"Are you the ghost of cosplay's past? I'm sorry I couldn't be Super Sailor Kepler for AniCon Orre last year. I was short on funds, please understand!! Her rhinestone skirt was just too pricey at the time!!"

[trainerseyes]

Trevor Tierno Serena and Calem for Shauna (individually of course)

"In terms of pokemon battling? I could probably do well enough against Trevor, and possibly even Tierno, but Serena and Calem aren't champions for nothing."

"Worse comes to worse and I have to get into a fistfight between any of them, I'm pretty sure I can take out Trevor and Calem. But Tierno and Serena both are great dancers, so they probably could kick my butt in terms of movement and stamina."
