so maybe i need to do some more digging into the lore, but as a newbie who finally caught up on the story and has done some lore reading - was albrecht... more involved in the zariman disaster than just releasing the indifference into reality?

like his logs for the cavia mention that he knew that the indifference was intrigued by uniqueness and, at the very least, albrecht granted the zariman the privilege of being the first to access his archives so they could form the curriculum for the kids, which euleria contributed so much to the point of becoming the voice of it.

the zariman also had a super unique reliquary drive, which incidentally has a massive orb with entrati obols above it. obviously we can't be sure whether euleria, albrecht, or both worked on the drive, given that both clearly contributed to zariman's education system, but it's hard to imagine that happening without some level of involvement from him.

you can also get entrati lanthorns in only two places - albrecht's lab and the zariman. between all of that, how his account of his first meeting with the indifference has him mention "the unholy zariman parade" (implying he was there for the send-off), and his apparent interest in tau as of the end of 1999...

it just seems extremely coincidental if he didn't ever consider that the uniqueness of the zariman would be a beacon for the indifference.

especially since albrecht somehow knew about the operators' existence when he first visited 1999. even og!loid isn't aware that operators = tenno in witw and it's only really the seven and the researchers involved who would've known the true nature of the tenno (probably lotus too) at the point when the entrati all hid themselves upon deimos.

i don't know if he intended to serve the zariman up to the void as he had previously done to the cavia, but given 1999 has demonstrated he's fully accepting of killing "hundreds of thousands" to even gain an inch against the indifference, it wouldn't exactly be out of character, would it?

What do the second, third, and fourth officers do on the ship?

Hi, I need to expand a little on this. The first lieutenant is the officer next in rank and power to the captain, in whose absence he is accordingly charged with the command of the ship; also with the execution of all orders received from the commander as to the service.

The lieutenant in command of the watch at sea shall keep a list of all the officers and men belonging to it, to assemble them when he deems it expedient, and to report to the master the names of those who are absent from their duty. During the night watch he shall occasionally visit the lower decks, or send one of his subordinate lieutenants thither, to ascertain that the proper captains are on duty, and that there is no disorder among the men; that no tobacco is being smoked between decks, and that no fire or candles are burning there, except the lights which are in the lanthorns, which are under the superintendence of a proper watch for special purposes. These lieutenants (depending on how many are on board) are expected to remain on deck at all times during their watch to give the necessary orders to trim the sails and monitor navigation, but also to avoid noise and confusion.

In battle, the lieutenant must take particular care to ensure that all the men are present in their quarters, where they have previously been assigned in accordance with the captain's instructions. He shall order and admonish them everywhere to do their duty, and shall at all other times inform the master of the misbehaviour of persons on the ship and of anything affecting service or discipline. This means that each lieutenant has a division, a group of men under him, which he commands and looks after for their welfare. He passes these orders on to the midshipmen and NCOs under his command.

The whole system serves to improve efficiency and smooth operations on board and ensures a rapid chain of command.

I hope it helps you and sorry for taking so long to answer, I'm slowly working my way through the questions. As far as i am able to do it.

"'Course I got my end!" There's a slight strain in Caspar's voice as he adjusts to match Edward's hold, but he stays true to his word. Heck, they've only got a short distance to cross. This candle could be twice as heavy, and this task would still be easy as—— "Hey! The hell are those little rats knocking around now?!" Wuh-oh. That voice sounds a whole lot like the one that had shouted about the racket that got Caspar and Edward tossed in their lantern prison to begin with. Time to get a move on! He lifts up his end of the candle as they approach the ledge, doing his part to ready the position. It's not quite enough to get it vertical on his own, but it's the closest he can get to a sliding pole rather than a battering ram sort of situation. "Alright, you first! Go go go go go…!"

lanthorn-y situation

thoughts on the new KIM Lore? Lizzie's is Interesting...

*The camera turns to me and I'm vibrating like an electron*

I've read ahead in the Kimulacrum chats right, so I can't SAY all of my thoughts yet, but I can say this.

ONCE AGAIN. THE LORE TEAM HAS FUCKED UNBELIEVABLY HARD. I've got friends who are alter systems, or who have been them in the past, and its clear that DE not only CARES but DOES Their god daMN RESEARCH! It perfect? no. It really fucking cool? Yes.

Also, Kaya is a mood, tbh, and I am VERY excited for de to give us just a little more lore on how time travel works on a technological level, please and thank you, thats the only piece I'm missing damnit and the only part I don't want to theorize on yet because aside from the reliquary drives, lanthorns, the orokin being able to create sources of anti-entropic radiation, (energy that keeps itself in line, basically) and the vague promise of infinite void based power, I'm not sure we have enough for it to all totally link up.

And the couple's good ending made me really happy to see bc while it was a bit upsetting at first to bear witness to two adults that I'd already found myself caring about arguing every time they spoke again, both sides have some really good, genuine, and understandable complaints that work so well with their characters and the only thing you're really needed for is to basically be an excuse for them to talk to each other about what's actually going on. Because its a shared chat, when you get one of them to actually fuckin' confess, the other can read it, which is honestly quite brilliant and makes the process much more viable. Not only that, but there's a lot of fun to their convos and past day 3 they *arent* arguing all the time, they might be snippy, but once you've gotten the right booleans they do become so much more,, idk, human, I suppose

I know de gives us these kim chats so we can get the writing that would be unbelievably time consuming and difficult to implement in game otherwise, and I cradle it to my chest and spin around delightedly.

The Forty-Fifth World of Tick, A World Drinker:

There are, at least, eighteen thousand two hundred and forty-five other worlds floating around Existence. I know this because that’s how many worlds my sire drank from before she molted to reveal me.

I remember things she saw during her time. Not properly, they’re not my memories after all. It’s not like I have her voice in the back of my head telling me facts or anything. I don’t have perfect recall of her time, or her sire’s time, or his sire’s sire’s sire’s time. It’s just in the blood – for lack of a better word because I don’t have any – and sometimes I know about things before I’ve ever seen them.

In one of the worlds I’ve clung to, there was this massive migration of butterflies every single year. They flew over an ocean in a totally straight line, except for this one singular point where they all abruptly shifted and flew west for no apparent reason before coming back to that line five or six miles later. According to the scientist I asked about it, she said that millions and millions of years ago there was a mountain in the middle of that ocean. The mountain’s gone, but the butterflies remember.

I am not a butterfly. Truly, I am not really an insect or an arachnid or a bug or a beast despite what we’re called.

I am Tick. That is both my name and what I am. It makes things simple. Sometimes I pick up names from the worlds I enter because it is necessary or it is fun. I have been a Roland, a Fiverel, a Lanthorn, a Freja, and even an Ushak Den Hagu.

But I always remain as Tick.

I would like to describe myself, but I currently cannot. I’m in between worlds right now, and I’m hungry. I haven’t made it through the surface of my next meal yet – it feels translucent like a soap bubble – and so I have not settled into what I need to look like.

It’s bending, though, I can taste the tear beginning.

It only needs to be big enough for me to fit through and afterwards it’ll close all nice and neat so no one will ever need to know.

I am forty-four worlds old. In a moment, I will be forty-five.

Only eighteen thousand, two hundred to go.

Athenian Architecture

The Antiquities of Athens by Scottish archaeologist James "Athenian" Stuart (1713-1788) and British architect Nicholas Revett (1720-1804), originally published 1762-1830, contains five volumes. Printed in London by German-born John Haberkorn, this was to be his best-known work.

James Stuart and his friend Nicholas Revett embarked on a journey to Greece in 1751. Their mission was to record and measure antiquities, a task no one had accurately accomplished before. Despite facing numerous challenges, including threats from Turkish gangs, their unwavering dedication led to the first accurate survey of ancient Greek architecture completed between 1751 and 1754. 

The illustrations in the volumes are not merely decorative; they consist of meticulously etched and engraved plates featuring buildings, maps, plans, and friezes. These illustrations are instrumental in providing a comprehensive visual survey of ancient Greek architecture, allowing readers to appreciate the precision and scale of the antiquities documented.

The particular building featured here is the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, commonly called the Lanthorn of Demosthenes. It was built around 334 BCE and is the only surviving example of a choragic monument. This monument is situated near the eastern end of the Acropolis, one of Athens's most significant archaeological sites. In ancient Greece, a choragus was a wealthy citizen who financed a production at one of the city's festivals. The monument was originally surmounted by a bronze tripod commemorating Lysicrates’ sponsorship of the chorus that had won first prize at the City Dionysia festival.

Stuart and Revett were the first to recognize the story depicted on the frieze. It is the story of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, and the Tyrrhenian pirates. In the Hymn to Dionysus in the Homeric Hymns, the god is kidnapped by pirates who fail to recognize him as a god. The pirates attempt to bind him but are unsuccessful. Instead, Dionysus drives them to jump overboard. Once they’re in the water, he uses his divine gifts to turn them into dolphins, as illustrated here in the depictions of the monument's friezes.

Aelfric and the Lanthorn

“1600 years ago… Aelfric descends to Orsterra. He lights the Sacred Flame on the continent, sealing Galdera the Fallen. Galdera’s name is hidden away”

Im thinking on maybe doing a fan comic, honestly being the telling of Orsterra’s history through a comic; purely for fun honestly.

Either way, I hope you all have a splendid day/night/whatever the hecking time it is over there. Stay strong there Traveler, for who knows what foes may lie in your path.
