DUNGEONS AND DIRECTORATES

Entry 1: HELLO? CAN I SPEAK WITH YOUR MANAGER?

(Profile pic by Vitaly S. Alexius)

___

The air was bitingly cold, as usual. I struggled to run through the snow. Just a moment ago, I had caught sight of Seven entering an old office building. I didn't know where my other 'compatriots' were, but nevermind them. I had to reach Seven!

Zee had just stepped into the manager's office when I reached the building. I clung to the doorway, struggling to catch my breath.

"Capt- I mean, Seven!" I corrected myself, "I must speak with you! Immediately!"

"IF YOU NEED SOMETHING, ASK MY ASSISTANT!" Seven called from the office before slamming the door shut.

To the side, two green lenses slid into view. Pilot was behind a desk, typing rapidly on a keyboard while somehow balancing three phones against his head.

"Y-"

"OOOOOOOONE MOMENT!" Pilot shouted, before pushing a button on one of the old phone receivers, then frantically scribbling something on a piece of paper, all while STILL tapping away at the keyboard.

"This is-"

"SHHH!" Pilot held up a finger, "Uhuh? Mhm?" He spoke into one of the phones, "Sorry, I'm NOT INTERVESTED!" He slammed a different one back onto the reciever. "Your Call is Important to Us, Please Hold." He spoke with a nigh perfect American accent into the third.

This was ridiculous. Why was I waiting on him? I would try to talk to Seven myself, but I had no doubt that zee's lackey would be ordered to manhandle me. He might possibly even throw me out the window. Sure, we were on the ground floor, but broken glass is dangerous! And I didn't want to be thrown.

"Wut are youuu HERE for?" Pilot finally asked, waggling a finger at me.

"I must speak with Seven!"

"Zee's most divine, opulent excellency is busy. Have a nice day!" Pilot waved me off.

"What?! Seven is not busy!" I argued across desk.

"Bup-bup-bup!" Pilot silenced me as he picked one of the phones back up. He then proceeded to go into a long sales pitch for trash can lids as an effective and cheap pie-tin alternative.

I stamped my foot in anger. I HAD to speak with Seven... But it seemed I would first need to distract zeer contemptible second-in-command.

"Pilot!" I shouted, and the man went dead-still. He slowly, eerily turned his head to look at me. I realized that I had gotten ahead of myself. I had no lie prepared.

"There's, ah..."

The green goggles were unwavering, bug-like... There was no telling what went on behind them.

"There's a fire!" I lied, "And all the, ah...puppies and kitties in the building are going to be burned down! Unless you save them!"

Pilot turned to look out the giant, broken glass windows.

"I sees no fire." He muttered.

"It's, ah..." Damnit! This is when having Snippy around would have come in handy. I was loathe to admit it, but that man was much better at improv than I.

"I'll be right back." I left.

"PILOT!" I shouted, "There's the fire!" I pointed at the building in view which now had smoke pouring from it's windows.

"Oh noes!!!" Pilot lept up from his seat.

"Yes! There are baby cats and dogs in there! They need your help!" I goaded him on.

"I'll save those cool cats from their melty demise!" Pilot shouted as he lept over the desk in one swift movement, then began to sprint towards the burning building at a frightening pace.

Seeing how quick he was made me think twice about my plan- but no! I had to act now! I steeled myself and marched through the office door.

"Seven!" I called.

"AH, ENGIE!" Seven responded from where zee was reclined in a chair, legs resting on the manager's desk, "HOW GOES PROJECT 'TURN ZEE MOON INTO AN INSIDE-OUT DONUT'?"

"What? I don't know what you're talking about. Now listen to me!" I pulled out a map and held it up, "I have uncovered something dreadful!"

"OHO?" Seven replied interestedly from zeer chair.

I pointed at the map,

"The recent gravitational anomaly caused pieces of the dead zone to fall into the city," I tapped one spot highlighted in yellow, "We are here," I circled the multiple purple spots on the map, "And these are the misplaced deadzones I have discovered!" (-and some that Snippy had reported, but that was extraneous info)

"We must leave this part of the city before we get boxed in by dead zones!" I finished.

"HMMMM." Seven arched zee's fingers, leaning forward in zeer seat, "AN INTRIGUING PROPOSAL."

I lowered the map, anxiously. There was no doubt in my mind that we would all perish if we were trapped by the deadzones... Even if Seven's luck were to extend to those near zee, there was no telling what would happen if we got separated -and that had been happening a lot as of late.

"OKAY!" Seven finally announced. I let out the breath I was holding.

"HOWEVER!" Zee stood up and gingerly took the map from me, "WE MUST FIRST CHART A COURSE! AND I KNOW JUST HOW TO DO IT..."

From above the top edge of the map, purple lenses peered at me, piercing like needles into the very fabric of my being.

"...AND YOU ARE GOING TO HELP :) "

chat what if i posted old romac art that i made before i even read this fucking webcomic

@alexandergromov <-- art trade piece for this guy

[turoce]

RomAc fandragons. i spent too long on just the scries so i think i'll post these...

and maybe add price estimates too. just for gems though, treasure isn't as big of an issue, and my head hurts.

Zee Captain. was probably the easiest to scry out of the bunch. needs too many gem apparels.

225 (Coat) + 135 (Boots) + 125 (Gloves) = 485g

Pilot. ironically, the Aviator's coat did not look well on his scry, so i had to make do. less gems i spend, the better... but i wish there were leather jackets in Flight Rising, because this doesn't look any better.

225 (Katana) + 125 (Gloves) = 350g

Snippy. i was tempted to make him a Snapper but goggles did not look that good on Snappers. i'm not sure if i should keep the orange eyewear, but.... the i want him to have the eyebrows!

125 (Gloves) + 75 (Boots) = 200g

Engie. eugh, i don't think i'm happy with this. aside from the Gloomwillow Guide (who is supposed to represent ANNET), i'll probably replace everything here... i think i'll wait until apparel that can replicate Engie's outfit better comes out... what do you mean this game has no fuzzy hood?! preposterous!

(gem count: ???)

BONUS: i also need to pay for apparel slots, so lets see how much i gotta pay!

with 12 whole slots needed for Snippy (the close runner up being Pilot, at 11), and 7 slots currently unlocked...

...i'd need to dish out 400 gems.

so to calculate the gem total of just apparel alone, i'd need.....

1435 gems.

slightly more than one gem gene, yet still smaller than a Coatl breed change scroll....

god help me.

[gooeygummi]

I cannot and will not be stopped

some stuff

[kkkkkkkitty]

THANK YOU for the very kind tags...I greatly enjoy your first impression of Engie & will be personally viewing it that way from now on. I looooove when people say that she looks eerie ! I think she's incredibly eerie by nature and am crestfallen that her canonical design doesn't reflect her creepiness...Like she's this near-omnipotent world-embodying person shaped higher power which is like so fundamentally divorced from the human experience that she claims to be a servant to. she projects this air of grace & alien benevolence that makes her sort of angelic to me. & the way that that interacts with like the petty fake-nice corporate slime that she crawled out of...I mean come on humanity had no chance of coming out of that alive & well. What if God was Alexa. I dotn know...

The way that ANNET's whole deal sort of refracts Engie's is also super interesting (to me), but this post will be long enough already so I won't go try to go over all of my thoughts I'll try to be blunt about it. He wants to save the world & he wants that kind of divine power that ANNET has, but it's an incredibly juvenile & human want. This guy thinks he's some Superman Bruce Wayne amalgamate. He doesn't *quite* get it. He doesn't have the scope, I think. & he is a huuuuuge coward pissboy with a bee allergy. Captain is a reconciliation between the two. Zee harbors genuine fondness for human beings while not being so human zeerself (?) that zeer shortcomings stunt zeer, like Engie's. Captain win !

First image is my dumb little design of the Biomatrix for my old scrapped RomAc rewrite :] I think I prefer the original suit clad fungus animal skull type beast, but this design caters to my sensibilities so I have more fun drawing it. Scribbliness likely did NOT help. But it was fuuuun !
