#npc sounding motherfucker

[rottenaero]

Steve doesn’t play dnd,

But he does lean over whoever has the highest charisma bonus per campaign-(usually Gareth or Lucas)- When Eddie describes a NPC and tells them how to flirt with them.

Eventually Gareth get tired of this one campaign, and glares at Steve, “How about you just play this part for me? I’m done flirting with Eddie for you!”

Eddie wags his finger, “Uh-uh, you’re done flirting with Virgil for him.”

“Why? He sounds like a total catch.”

Gareth gestures toward the smirking dungeon master, “ Doesn’t change the fact that it’s still Eddie!”

“Virgil.” The guy singsongs.

“Who gives two shits if its Eddie?” Steve asks, leaning over Gareth’s shoulder to grab the twenty-sided-dice. He rolls it between his index finger and thumb for a second before looking up at the curly haired junior.

“Me, because it’s disgusting.” He points at both of them. “You two, are disgusting.”

Eddie frowns, “Can’t believe you’d insult Virgil like that.”

Gareth pinches the bridge of his nose, “MotherFUCKER!”

more golden sun tips

1. the game wants you to keep track of how many djinn a character has on standby when you're gearing up for a summon. you can lose spells mid battle bc you used enough djinn that your character went down a rank and that shit sucks.

ostensibly this is supposed to be a risk v reward thing to prevent you from spamming summons at every boss battle, but in practice this is really only a problem to worry about when you're doing optional stuff like crossbone isle and the endgame superbosses in TLA, and if your designated healer loses their good healing psynergy (eg jenna's basic class loses access to the party-wide aura healing psynergy if more than 4 djinn go to standby/recovery, so if she's your healer you NEED to keep track)

2. i do in fact recommend the optional stuff, especially in TLA because the best summons are locked behind those superbosses.

3. in TLA you're gonna find a bunch of shit like tear stones and sylph feathers that have "forgeable" in their item descriptions and the game does not tell you what this means. i will.

you give these to a character named sunshine in the town of yallam on oseania, after you get the boat. you give these to him one at a time, and he will turn them into weapons and armor for you. what you get is completely random, as several things can be forged from the same material, and it auto saves when you give him the item to prevent save scumming, at least in the original game. the switch has suspend points that you can use to save scum.

sunshine's wife says it'll take a while for him to finish, but leaving town and re-entering or spending a night at the inn will get it done instantly.

there are also several rusty weapons that will always give you the same result when you give them to him.

4. some djinn in both games can be found in the actual overworld map and encountered as monster spawns. the game does not tell you this explicitly. lucky for you, they have very specific areas of the map that they will spawn in. i highly recommend looking up guides with pictures.

5. make getting djinn your top priority, especially in the first game. not only do they give you stat boosts and increase the rank of your class, and not only do you get sick summons and effects from using them in battle, but to get the absolute best summon in TLA you NEED to transfer a save over from the first game with all 28 of those djinn, bc you need those 28 plus the 44 in TLA to even access the dungeon it's in.

6. the superboss guarding the best summon is the cheapest motherfucker on planet earth. he will use your djinn against you and tear you up like tissue paper

But! he is in theory beatable. he follows a set sequence of moves, only differing in very specific circumstances (skipping 'break' if you don't have stat buffs, 'haunt' if everyone is haunted, and using psynergy at all if he's been blocked). he will start the battle from somewhere in that sequence, and then go thru each action in turn

the wiki has an exceptionally good page on him including strategies to beat him and the complete sequence of moves he uses. use it.

7. use that wiki in general. it's the good one that isn't on fandom

8. if you open up the battle mode lobby in TLA and talk the NPC in the southwest corner while holding down either the L or R buttons (she's the one that says "i like my men macho"), instead of her usual dialog she'll say "you have a song request?" and a tiny menu will open up. congratulations! this is the game's sound test menu. if a track has played at least once on the file you used to enter the lobby, you can play it here! even more if it's one that has transfer info from the first game!

this has no use at all but this effectively turns your switch into an mp3 player that only plays golden sun music, and was the only way to listen to the soundtrack before yt and if you couldn't find a site that had ripped it and put it up for download

when i manage to get around to running a changeling: the dreaming campaign with my friends, how many hsr characters do you think i could sneak in there as npcs? cause i'm thinking it could be a lot. specifically i'm thinking of penacony characters and more specifically i'm thinking about sunday and robin bc of fucking course i am. I'm obsessed with tragically doomed siblings.

sunday would be lord domhnaigh (literally just sunday in irish) of house gwydion. he's a sidhe who's supposed to be aligned with the seelie court but his father, count gofraidh (gopher just. isn't a name?? i couldn't find anything about it?? but this is irish and kinda sounds like it so it works), is trying to manipulate him into working with the shadow court. and by god, it's fucking working, unfortunately for all involved.

his sister is lady robin ni fiona, a sidhe tutored in sorcerery by eiluned sorcerers. she's skilled at singing, manipulating glamour, and using the two in tandem. inspires many to dream of performing on the grandest of stages. she's aligned with the seelie court, and feels as though her brother is slipping away from the beliefs they once shared.

gallagher is gallchobhar ni gwydion. the only motherfucker here to have an irish-based name that i could've used and i had to go no, actually, make it more irish. anyway. he's a knight in service to lord domhnaigh and he fucking hates it. i also can't decide what he would be. a redcap?? perhaps?? his name would literally be gallagher, by the way, but the sidhe nobles would be like hmm. no. if you're a knight now, you need to show your status, and use a name closer to the kingdom (ireland) that we (fae folk) come from. thus, using the irish origin of his name instead of just his name. i think this would be incredibly funny but it might just be me having an odd sense of humor.

my other ideas are that sparkle is a fox pooka, topaz is a wolpertinger bc oh my god that fucks so hard, misha is animate chimera within the dreaming, veritas is an incredibly odd nocker, black swan being a swan maiden would be on theme but i'm not sure how well it actually suits her, argenti is sidhe obviously and a noble member of house fiona, firefly is a piskie, and boothill is probably a redcap.

also if the noble houses were based on the five families in penacony then it would be house oak (oak family, no changes necessary), house lymer (bloodhound family, from lymer, the word for a medieval scenthound with lyam meaning leash), house luscinia (nightingale family, a genus of birds including nightingales), house seamair (alfalfa family, irish for clover, a similar crop), and house tuar ceatha (iris family, irish for rainbow, with irises getting their name from the greek goddess of rainbows. it was the only idea i had for that one). i had to make them fancy sounding and extra bc i'm... not sane. teehee.

If you have a regional or other stigmatized accent and you like to run or play TTRPGs, especially with players from other areas/groups, guess what motherfuckers, new pro strat:

Make the baseline voice in your world your accent.

You know what? Everybody's fuckin Southern in Doskvol now. You know why? Because I can speak more fluidly and more convincingly in a Southern accent than any other accent. I don't sit there and trip over NPC voices anymore, because I know what it fuckin sounds like. And bonus round: because it's an accent I already know with variations that I understand, differentiating speakers is super easy.

All that time you have spent trying to stuff your voice into a corner? Time to let loose motherfuckers

The TTRPG NPC Tournament Round 2: The Shrike vs. Professor Torrin

Images are in the order of the poll! Image ID included, click to see the full image please!

(Only an image of The Shrike was submitted for this poll)

More about each NPC below the cut!

Character 1

Name: The Shrike Party: The Fosters Relationship to party: Mom, stepmom, former boss, current leader

What makes them the best NPC: She's a thousands-of-years-old gnomish planar-physics prodigy from the future. She's divorced. She's engaged. She misses her wife. She's an absentee mom and she's mom of the year. She bakes the best scones in the world. She will shoot you with a harpoon without hesitation. She invented robotics. She loves prime numbers. She built her own legs. She sold her soul to a dubious and unknowable god in order to save her species' future. She's even a lesbian. The Shike. Bwaaaa

Quote: "YOU DON'T GET TO BEAT ME AT THIS, MOTHERFUCKER. WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

Character 2

Name: Professor Torrin Party: Rigsby Raiders Relationship to party: Party's favorite academic/partner in crime

What makes them the best NPC: Torrin is a gnome man of unknown age and origin. He has a bushy white beard that makes it impossible to see his mouth. He has faked his death 4 times, 2 of which were to hide from the gods cause he pissed off Zeus (again). Torrin is a professor at a university and when one of the PC’s pretended to be a student he realized he was lying but made him do the homework anyways (He got a C-). The man has written nursery rhymes about what a hypocrite Zeus is and LIVED. He has two clones at any given time. He used to do extreme sports as a young man. Torrin will often say something vague and cryptic and when the party asks for more information he will simply say: “I don’t want to talk about it,” sounding devastated, and the party will drop it. By far the coolest thing about him is that his character was made cause the DM made a funny face and did a bad ‘old man’ voice and the party kept visiting him until the DM was forced to flesh out his character into the most dangerous mortal man alive. He is also queer like most dnd npcs.

🏷️🎁🤲👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💘

thank you Kraken! 🖤 I'm just going to keep answering these for Orion, I'm sure everyone's sick of hearing about him by now but Im not ready to talk in-depth about my two newer characters yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🏷️: What is their full name? Do any of their names have any special meaning? How did you come up with them?

haha his full, complete, real name is just Orion. he tacked on Murphy as a surname to blend in better with humans, but it has no significance tbh

it’s just a name Ive always really really liked the shape & sound of, I briefly thought about renaming myself Orion before I picked Skylar so it was still fresh in my mind when I was making him

🎁: If they needed to give a friend a gift, how would they go about choosing one? Would they buy it, make it, or do something else? Would others consider them good at gift-giving?

ooh Orion would probably be great at gift-giving, but she does it very rarely. I think fae consider giving gifts uncouth at best* so it's not her first inclination, but yeah if she decided to do it she'd look for something she knows would be meaningful/relevant to their interests and personalize it in some way on top of that. you better believe if she's going to do something it's going to be over the top

*fae are all about social contracts and interpersonal debts, so giving a gift without expecting something in return is like walking up to someone and saying, "I do not want to be friends with you." fortunately Orion has assimilated into human society well enough to know that they fucking love it when you do that

🤲: Do they have any deep desires that they don't talk about and/or don't even realize they have? Do these desires conflict with their main goal at all?

ohohoho okay so, Orion has wanted to become human for ~20 years because of the death of her human lover. she has deliberately gotten herself stuck and refuses to let herself grieve + move forward

but she's just about reached a breaking point. you can't dwell in grief and loss forever, eventually something has to give. so deep down, part of her wants to just let it go and move on, but she's terrified of doing so because she doesn't know what else to do with herself

she's also desperate for intimacy and love/acceptance, but she can't bear the thought of another loss, so she either pushes people away or holds them so tightly they get sick of it and leave on their own. these are not feelings I can relate to or have drawn from any experiences btw

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦: What is their family like? Are there any family members that are particularly influential and/or important to them (whether in a positive or negative sense)?

I am so proud of what I've come up with for Orion's family! so he has 3 parents - Aries, Fornax, and Lacerta. yes their family members must always be named after constellations. he probably has a couple grandparents floating around, but he's never met them, and no siblings. his parents were his whole world growing up. I could write essays about each of them, suffice to say they are very loving but Aries and Fornax just can't understand why she's all hung up on non-fae people, Lacerta is more supportive but also has a more hands-off approach to parenting

💘: Do they have a "canon" romantic partner? If so, who is it and what is their relationship like? If not, what kind of person would be the optimal romantic partner for them (the most interesting narratively, not necessarily the healthiest/what they think their preferences are)?

in writing, no, and as much as I want to write a subplot for that, I feel weird about doing so BECAUSE

in game, there's this one motherfucking NPC who was introduced in I think our 3rd session. I adore him but I'm worried I as a player have missed my chance lol. if Orion doesn't get to be obsessively codependent with this depressed demonic senior citizen then what's the point!!

[heyimspade]

ALRIGHT SO EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A SECOND!

This is my character for Hogwarts Legacy right?

Looks kinda like me. I like to keep a consistent and professional look. The dark arts full set is equipped because I look amazing in it.

My "signature" hat of choice for every occasion is included because I'm fucking obsessed with this particular type of hat and the cops can't stop me from wearing it either irl or in game.

And of course my name... my actual name as my character because THIS IS MY SELF INSERT CHARACTER MOM BEING A POTTERHEAD ISN'T A PHASE.

Now lets cut to that sweeeeet motherfucking chase

As other players are aware, there is a certain someone in this game that plays an.... oh sooooo very vital role in this story.

Now, I'm not a Gryffindore, nor a Slitherin.

AND I SURE AS HELL AIN'T NO HUFFLEPUFF

I am a Ravenclaw, which directly translates to "Fuck them Slytherin bitches, I'm one amazing son of a gun."

But this particular character piqued my interest.

This character (stereotypically of course) teaches you not one

Not two

BUT ALL THREE OF THE UNFORGIVABLE CURSES

Now, my original plan was to gain his trust.

Pretend to be his so-called "Best Friend" until a certain fateful moment.

I would help him save his sister as a repayment for teaching me the 3 curses. An epitaph if you would.

After saving his sister however, without hesitation, the fruits of my labor would unfold.

I would use the imperi curse to make him curse his own first name, right in front of his sister. I would then make him lock his sister inside her house, then promptly, let him attack every other NPC in the village.

I would then make him go back inside the house, where I would follow, then make him sit down in front of his sister, I would then release the imperi and cast Crucio while his sister watches. Then, after listening to the beautiful sounds of his suffering, his agony, his humiliation for TRUSTING ME...

The last thing he'll see, as he looks to his sisters eyes, is the flash of green reflecting off her, aimed towards him, with the encantation being loudly and obnoxiously spoken...

"AVADA KADAVRA BEEEEEETCH."

Unfortunately, spells and charms can not be used on other students unless during duels. I figured this out only AFTER learning crucio.

So, I'm left with no other choice. I'm already too deep. Can't back down now.

I would like everyone to meet my ACTUAL best friend. Sebastian Sallow.

The Dark Arts Duo! Sebastian and Sebastian!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to add more things to my Nymphadora Tonks shrine. So sad that she died before I got to have a piece of DAT AYUSS.

[renegadessys]

Please info dump about Radiant Sun, I don't know what this is but it sounds fascinating and we're overdue for a new obsession

OK SO. FIRST OF ALL IM SO SORRY ITS NOT REAL. YOU CANT WATCH IT. :(((( It's a dnd campaign we played with our wife. SOMEDAY we might make it a show. Depending on how things go. BUT.

The Radiant Sun is the name of a D&D party in a home game we did. It consists of 6 people (as well as 40+ npcs) who are all batshit insane.

PARTY MEMBERS:

- Razor. The "main character" if a DnD campaign has one. Tiefling sorcerer who finds out later that he is secretly a member of the royal family and has special magic powers. MORE ON THAT LATER.

- Verona. Razor's bf who grew up as a captive in the same thieves' guild he was a captive in. They were friends since they were kids. She activated her own sorcerer magic (Divine Soul) and healed him when he got fucked up and tortured. She dies at one point early in the game and it is a catalyst for some Character Growth.

- Alixa. Batshit crazy 15yr old drow who was a custom homebrew class (knife artist, think rogue aesthetic but the whole point is doing cool shit w daggers). One of the central Problems in the world the campaign is set in is that there is a massive attempt by high elves to colonize the Underdark. She is the only survivor of her family who was killed/driven out. THIS WAR IS IMPORTANT BUT NOT FOR THE REASONS YOU THINK. Also she gets a giant pet lizard that can breathe fire. His name is Sparky.

- Avaciel. Former high elf noble who was cast out of her home city after it was taken over by Drow that wanted to find footing in noble cities to make the monarchy pay for the war/colonization effort. Became a bard who plays the violin like a badass.

- Shade. Shade is a demigod of The Shadow, one of the dark six in some dnd related pantheon that I don't remember the name of. She was created by that asshole as a failsafe measure in case her "dad" was ever slain by other gods, he set up his soul and powers to transfer into her body and planned to possess her and use her for his own purposes. She meets a demigod of another one of the dark six and eventually finds out that NEITHER of them are actually the kids of their "parents" they're actually kids of a DIFFERENT god and they're twins <3

- Aiyise. Personality and backstory wise a Straight Rip from another campaign we did but we wanted to fuck around with her so we gave her some totally different plot stuff and made her a cleric instead of a divine soul sorcerer. From a noble family who she believes to be great people until she gets un-modify-memory'd and finds out that they were actually horrible to her for her whole life and before she went out to adventure they wiped her brain. She is the tankiest motherfucker EVER. She's also the most uwu soft girl you will Ever meet.

PLOT STUFF.

Originally the party is called together by the Chamberlain of House Satra. House Satra is the ruling family over the continent the story takes place in. One of their daughters, Kyria, has gone missing! Oh No!! Party is told that several groups of adventurers have gone to find her and have all gone missing. They're a last ditch effort.

Notably. These kids are like 17 at oldest. Except for Shade who is weird and Avaciel who is like 23.

They do it anyway bc they are BROKE AS FUCK!!!!! And are promised lots of shiny money. And thus their adventures begin. They find Kyria, adopt her into the party, meet her "dad" (the "king" who is actually super super trans), are rewarded, and then are asked by the queen to go investigate a city that her brother is being held in for crimes she knows he didn't commit. Political bullshit. Whatever. These kids are incredibly hyped bc since all the official adventurers super died they have been appointed the Interim Defenders Of Toris TM. They feel all special. So they go.

While they are on the way, they are attacked by a Solar, a high angel of the Shadow who has been sent to retrieve Shade. Shade is not there when this happens so naturally the party, who have all known each other for like A Week, tell the solar that she's not there and they won't tell him where she is. So he tries to kill them all! And ends up killing Verona. Which makes Razor, understandably bc she is his not-quite-gf-but-hes-in-love-with-her, BIG MAD. They kill this asshole (Alixa is doing some insane called-shot/homebrew rules bullshit) and find out that these angels (because they are CR TWENTY ONE. AND RHE PARTY IS LEVEL FOUR.) are super powerful and drop super rare items. Including resurrection materials! So they continue their quest to their destination knowing that it's a big city and clerics can maybe help.

Other stuff happens in the interim BUT!

While they are in Faultline (the city) they find out Lots Of Insane Shit. Most notably, they find out that these things called the Draconic Eternals, basically giant ancient dragons that were sealed in a demiplane thousands of years ago, are still alive and trying to break out!!! They find out that there's a guy in the city who framed the queen's brother for killing a revolutionary who was actually his girlfriend so that he could get power over the city. The party subsequently kicks his ass and leaves the power in the hands of the revolutionary (who is not dead!!!) and her sister. Mostly her sister tho. Bc the revolutionary is busy kissing her fiance.

They go back and there's a big dance thing and Verona and Razor and Kyria see the "king" sneaking off somewhere with the chamberlain and decide to investigate. They follow them to a secret chamber and have the most insane series of stealth check rolls EVER and find out that. Uh. The king is working with the dragons. And killed his son, the prince, in order to help them break out. Because his son, you see, has this thing called the Soulscar. It's basically raw magic but super upgraded and powerful. And the only other person alive in the family line with the soulscar is mia and presumed never to return, and the soulscar is the only thing that could keep the dragons from coming back, sooooo they kill the kid! Kyria, notably, is Fucked Up about this bc that was Her Twin Brother.

You see where this is going from my character descriptions.

ANYWAY. After that horrible revelation they go back downstairs only to find that the oldest child of the royal family accidentally got Wish spelled into being like 16 and it can't be undone so she can't really be elected the next replacement for the king like the whole country was planning to do bc. Yknow. War Effort. And ALSO Avaciel's city's destroyer family is here. Or at least their son who she was supposed to marry is. And they are both super upset abt it!!! Because he's the only reason she's alive!!!! So Why Is He Here!!!!!!!

Their next quest is to go reclaim Avaciel's home city. Which they do. And then they go back to the main city.

And they play a game. With all their collected npc friends. Kind of like an icebreaker game. It's a staple of our campaigns tbh.

In that game, one of Razor's friends/the guy who watched over him and Verona at the thieves' guild, Hawke (who is also super a trans woman), is invited to play. And through a series of increasingly convoluted questions and a use of the Divination spell cast by Aiyise in order to find out what happened to Kyria's brother that was supposed to have died..... The Truth Comes Out. Razor is that kid. He was not killed. The king and his brother, the other person with the soulscar, created a plan that faked his death and saved his life but made him unfindable and hid him somewhere no one would ever look. And Hawke!!!! Is that "brother"!!!! And worked at the thieves' guild the whole time to take care of him!!!!!! AAAGHGHGH. Our entire party went INSANE when this was happening. It was crazy. So much shit made sense after that.

So Razor, now knowing everything, is taken to properly meet his family. He meets his actual parents in the context of being their kid. He finds out that they've saved presents for him for every birthday, memoirs, letters written to him etc in case he ever got to come home. Lots of tears etc.

And the "king" tells them about the dragon thing.

It turns out the draconic eternals have held blackmail over his head for like 3 decades. Just before the family's oldest kid was born they contacted him from their demiplane and said "if you do what we tell you we will wait until your family has died naturally before we descend upon your world and kill everybody. Otherwise we're doing it in like a decade lmao" and he, convinced he could find another solution with enough time, agreed to do what they said. And then they made him "kill" Razor (birth name Kyus) and he faked his son's death bc he couldn't make himself do it. He started the war at the dragons' bidding because he needed time to find a way to save the Entire World. And he didn't have that time without doing some genuinely horrible things. So he did them, and accepted that the world would hate him for it. Because he was protecting them from something much worse.

Then the "king" who I am now going to refer to as the queen bc she's trans and I feel bad decides that she is going to go against them. She can't do it anymore. So she arranges for a royal announcement to be made. She is gonna tell everyone about her son, about the dragons, about everything, and they will go from there.

Razor has known his family for like a day and a half btw. And he's about to be presented as a prince. And he doesn't want to go back to looking like he's "supposed" to. Which his family is fine with!!! But the kingdom maybe will not be. He doesn't do it anyway tho.

During that speech, the capital city is sieged by an assortment of "undesirable" races (orcs, drow, goblins, giants, etc) led by a tiefling who is so so so mad at the royal family and doesn't care what their excuse is. Uh oh! Razor recognizes him!! He knew him from the thieves' guild!

That's not important right now. What IS important is that he magically turns Razor's entire new family to stone and then drags them through a portal to God Knows Where. And Leaves.

And Razor jumps through after him. No time for the rest of the party to go.

He chases the guy with every ounce of his magic through an entire giant stronghold. And eventually he escapes. And Razor is So Mad.

He goes through an Arc Of Growth tm where he meets the giants' main god and is given a magical item that he will need to seal away the draconic eternals. There are 7 of those. The party already knows about one??? I think??? I deadass don't remember the timeframe on this. But they need to find all of them.

(Also at some point they find out one of the dragons didn't actually get sealed away bc he betrayed the other ones and he agrees to help them but that was an in between thing)

ANYWAY. Eventually Razor is reunited with the party and they go deal with All Of Those Guys' Bases. At one point in that whole thing Alixa finds out that she was chosen by one of the drow gods (NOT lolth) to be her champion and gets given a few bits of paladin magic as a treat. And also one of the important magic items!!!

They eventually stop all the guys and talk their leader down bc Razor and him used to be Buddies tm. And they get him to stop being Insane. And fix his family. And his family is back!!! But when they get back to the capital city they have to deal with the fact that the thieves' guild has taken over bc nobody was there to stop them. And Razor and Verona have TRAUMA tm around those guys. Esp Razor bc their leader tortured him because he knew something about Razor's magic (could see the soulscar via true sight) but Razor didn't know at the time so he just got beat up a bunch.

They fight them!! And win!!! Eventually!!!!!! And the city is (mostly) restored.

The party has a lot of stuff to do. At varying points, they are required to stop THREE separate apocalypses. An apocalypse based on the ancient elemental beings that a cult led by people including Aiyise's fucked up family are trying to resurrect almost happens but some of the party and friends (including Aiyise and her two besties from childhood) stop it. That arc includes a genius 15 year old basically inventing unsterilized open heart surgery on top of a mountain to save the kids of the crazy cleansing cult guys bc they had magical chips inserted into their hearts that had to be destroyed before they could kill the cultists. Necessity my beloved. <3

Eventually the Final Battle comes. The party fights its way through each Draconic Eternal in groups, boosted by the power of like 4 different gods. At the same time, 4/6 members of the Dark Six god group are trying to end the world in a different separate way than the dragons. So they have to fight 4 gods and like 12 fucked up evil dragons that are like ancient dragons dialed up to 15. But they have crazy magic items and are level 20 and have the blessing of, again, like 4 different gods. So they do it.

Holy shit. It's done. The Radiant Sun has just collectively stopped a triple apocalypse. Razor gets to be with his family, Verona gets to marry her bf, Avaciel goes home and rules over her city, Aiyise and her partners start patching up the damage done to their religion by training a new not crazy generation of clerics and paladins, Alixa gets to work as Eilistraee's champion, and Shade and her twin brother take over the roles of The Shadow and The Fury, their "parents" who aren't actually their parents. So they are gods now.

Everybody lives happily ever after.

For now...?

I'm sure there's a million other things to say abt them and I did NOT give the full details of every quest bc this was meant to be the overarching plot line so if you wanna hear anything abt specific people's personal arcs or anything I will answer all your questions ever. There is a chance that someday this post will be deleted off the internet because maybe this will be an Actual Animated Series someday and yknow. I dont want my whole plot online for everyone to see. But who knows!

Thank you so much for letting me infodump <3 ilysm

Between the crew focusing on Lil Coding and the other higher-ups being in the dark for now, Cluster thinks it's made a clean getaway, at least for now. But it forgot one thing...

"Well, hello motherfucker."

The Anomaly.

Surprisingly, she's not there to get revenge for it messing with her npcs. If she wasn't willing to forgive someone for dumping people they don't like in a prison dimension her relationships with SMG3 and Suzan Wasabi would be much worse. No, she's here because it decided to prey on her grandkitten's insecurities, and now one of those little voices in its head that tells it that it isn't good enough or just like Singularity is gonna sound like Cluster.

"And the worst part is you're actually proud of that on some level, aren't you?"

Now, if another Admin had found Cluster, it'd probably be looking forward to a quick and efficient, if rather painful, punishment. But Emulator's not an Admin. She's a game. And she hasn't let herself cut loose and really play with someone in a long, long time.

YES EMMY YESSSS!!!! KICK CLUSTER'S ASS!!!!!

5 hours of sleep squad …. i honestly dont know how well i sleep but today i had a dream and alhaitham and kaveh were in it (i only got to chat w haitham tho) i was in this gigantic ass library type thing and it looked so cool , the entire thing was made out of dark brown wood and it was so pretty (i actually had another dream where i was in the same building before where i was running errands around the “school” HAHAH) but yeah since it was a library / school type place i was obviously there to learn shiz and — this is the weird part — the lesson was on dreams !!!!!!! and like bro ?? are my dreams becoming self aware ? 😨 i thought the lesson was interesting but alhaitham tried to gaslight me into not liking it (an exaggeration , he just thought i was lying when i said it was interesting) i think he was supposed to be like ,,, a helper to me in the dream idfk it was funky as hell - sorry for going off on a tangent about my dream LMFAO

WHSJSJ fischl is my baby shes one of the first 4*s i got and i kinda relate to her on some level , i too love playing pretend , but mostly when i was younger id pretty much spend all my recess roleplaying with my friends . trying to imitate my favorite characters is a pastime ive always enjoyed , and it honestly makes me insanely happy when people say i kinda act like my faves (ig its smth i do subconsciously LOL) because its like “WAIT . THEY THINK IM LIKE THIS INSANELY COOL CHARACTER I LOVE WITH A BURNING PASSION ???? [inaudible screaming]” recently ive found myself a new genshin rp friend and . dude . id never have thought that playing as alhaitham would be so goddamn fun . screenies for funnies:

(making cynos joke was so much fun too so i included it)

bro i lost my mf 50/50 to jeAN on haithams banner - not even a diluc , tall men hate me ig LMAO and it really doesnt help that ive been drained as hell from school lately so ive been slacking w my fricking primo farming ;_;

YESS the fungi event was lovely but tbh … the entire event i was just yelling about how i wanted to see cyno HAHAHAH - i suffer with chronic writers block (/hj) so . like . [dead alex sound]

GREAT NEWS my injury has healed hooray !!

absolutely , escaping school is great , id probably go on more field trips if it didnt mean id have to do makeup work tbh , i hate doing makeup work .

DINGDINGDING ! YOU ARE CORRECT ! the region i was going for was indeed mondstadt ! aster (my oc) lives in mond and is originally from khaenriah , im glad i didnt draw in their face yet because their eyes wouldve totally given away the fact they were khaenriahn LOL

my week was honestly pretty busy (atleast to my tiny brains standards , i feel like you could also tell by how long it took me to send another ask 😭😭) i had two tests today (that i frickin ACED HAHA im so proud of myself) one of my friends and some guy i share a bunch of classes with also gave me pieces of their cotton candy and the guy told me good job for actually doing my work LMFAO (i usually fall asleep in that class … haha ,,) and one of my other friends complained about also wanting food so i called him friendless (even though i thought the guy who gave me a piece of cotton candy didnt like me so i dont think he counts as a friend ??) my friend also recently introduced me to a series they liked and now im practically obsessed because DELICIOUS . i also recently did heizous hangout quest and GODDAMN he - he is so . im so gay for this detective motherfucker i was practically screaming at my ipad … haha …… heizou is honestly so my type he has such a way with words and i DO NOT know why a lot of npcs / characters in game talk about him negatively how do people not like him - yeah but i also almost went on a full genshin lore tangent to my ipad because of my uncontrollable urge to explain things SMH . oh my god the part where heizou said that he wanted us to be his partner all the time and i just straight up actually screamed , yes heizou ill be your partner forever if yk what i mean - HAHAHAH i also made a collection of goofy genshin triangles on one of my friends old schoolwork in math class hehe

aaaanyways id like to return your question ! how have your recent days been ? and if you dont deem anything of note or dont want to share , if you could choose anyone in genshin to share a house / be roommates with who would you choose ? (since these are again two questions , if you want , fire back two as well !) also , dude i have a terrible habit of rambling like crazy , so i totally dont mind if you ramble and stuff in replies (because i do that wayy too much as well LOL)

HELLOO TO YOU!!!! your dream sounds so funny LOL in the 2 years i've played genshin i've never had any genshin characters appear in my dreams,,, it's always boring ones that revolve around my life. but nevertheless your dream made me imagine how alhaitham would act around you 😭 and the way he tried to gaslight you LMAO he's so cute and goofy

haha i love how enthusiastic you are about fischl!!! we all have that one character that we have an undying love for to the point that everyone you know in life knows them (for me that'd be kazuha,, every time someone sees him it'd just remind them of me hehe)

THE RPS LMAO “i just find you rather annoying.” THAT'S SUCH AN ALHAITHAM THING TO SAY!!! also i'm pretty oblivious so this just made me realize that the denial is a river in egypt tiktok meme is also pointing out the fact that the nile. is a river. in egypt???? i just found out it's a wordplay thing???? denial (the nile)???? damn i really thought it's like a random word being thrown to make it seem exaggerated or something 😭😭😭 i'm really dumb LMAO how did i not figure that out sooner 🙁🙁🙁 the fact that i know the nile is a river in egypt is embarrassing too like it never occurred to me to piece the puzzles together...

man that sucks 😭😭 i remember when you messaged me on genshin talking about it LOL please humbly accept my offer of my c2 diluc to you,,, he's been in my hands far too long and i cannot fathom the fact that he keeps appearing in my 50/50's (tighnari pls come home i beg). i was on a 50/50 for haitham too and the very loud sigh of relief i let out when he finally came home is insane. i've basically farmed everything in the new area (i have 99% exploration progress now due to it) and have milked my welkin for him so i'm glad he actually came home... the things i'd do if diluc appeared in screen instead should be left unsaid 🤗

YAYY GLAD TO HEAR YOU'RE WELL NOW!!!

aster is such a badass name and the fact that they're originally from khaenriah???? awesome as hell. hope they're besties with kaeya because that would be totally legen... wait for it, dary!!!! (cue my love for barney in himym i just had to quote him)

also very glad to see that your week has been going okay!!! would love some cotton candy rn tbh they're so good </3

and heizou's hangout quest.... honestly same. i haven't exactly finished all of the endings but i've done some and it made me squeal and giggle every time he flirted with us 😭 made me feel like a total loser with his charming words bro i can't believe the npcs in game have such negative views on him because me personally if i was in the game, i'd immediately fold for him the second he breathes in front of me HAHA i'm . not weird at all.

my week has been slow actually, i finished my finals a while ago so we have nothing to do now so i've been doing absolutely nothing at school LOL! senior year is coming up soon so i might be more busy and focusing more on my studies... it's sure gonna be hell for me.

and recently i've been packing up my stuff because i'm moving out!! (hence why i haven't posted a new asphodelus chapter lol i've been so busy). it's been rather slow for me tho since i have a lot of stuff and it's kinda hard to choose the ones i'd have to throw or give away because like,, i love all of my stuff 😭 my mom has helped me with some but i still got a shit ton of stuff to declutter. basically everything is a mess rn

other than that, i think everything's been a-okay! i'm just reaally busy with irl stuff now but i think i can survive through them :D (i hope i do because i am one inch away from going insane). also my mom's been trying to convince me to drive lately since i'm supposed to start now but i have been avoiding it,,, it's scary being on the road and i am far from ready to risk my life 😔

as for your question, i think out of everyone, i'd choose kazuha. before you say anything, i'm trying to not be as biased as i can since like kazuha is my favourite character ever— but yeah, i think i can accept the terms of living with the kaedehara kazuha. he's such a nice guy and although he's a very very lightweight and behind all that charming looks he's a pretty scary guy himself (cue that scene where he threatened that treasure hoarder in the archon quest that he'd brand his forehead with hot iron) i think i could actually survive living with him. he'd do his set of chores, i'd do mine, everyone gets their happy ending. if i were to live with my other favs like kuni and alhaitham i think i would just die. kuni would be rude as fuck and alhaitham would just bully his way out from doing our shared chores. i cannot deal with them. (i'm sorry my sweethearts i'll do you two justice one day)

time to give a question to you!!! how's your progress in genshin going? (it can be exploration wise, storyline, anything) and what's your current main genshin team rn :0

hope you're having a great day!!! it was fun talking with you hehe i've been dying to get an ask since the blog has been real quiet lately, and i'm glad it's you! have a wonderful day ahead :P

Since I know @demonprincezeldris isn’t fond of reblog chains and I too want to discuss this @zorria and @vale-wright67.

Okay first of all if Melidoas and Zeldris both left the clan the commandments’ mission would be very different. Where initially they wanted to kill Meliodas for his betrayal, they want to capture both princes alive in this au. Why? Well, because they don’t got no heir! Estarossa is pretty much presumed to be adopted since there really isn’t any resemblance to his brothers whatsoever at all, so they need at least one of the brothers to remain alive and well king enough to either take the throne or provide an heir worthy of it.

Second, the cursed would be different. There’s a third person involved in it, so a third curse would be invoked. Zeldris’ cjrse will follow the same pattern as his brother and Elizabeth, namely being Eternal Isolation. Basically he can see and hear everything but he cannot be heard or physically touch anything at all! Like a ghost. Meliodas has some… issues about that.

The only bad thing about Ingo being constantly surrounded by Sneasels and becoming a cat-weasel person is that, unlike with Emmet and his Joltiks, Ingo cannot carry them in his pockets

I was playing around in the incorrect quote generator and I couldn’t not post this:

Ingo: Good morning.

Emmet: Good morning.

Elesa: Good morning.

Skyla: You all sound like robots, try spicing it up a bit.

Iris: MORNING MOTHERFUCKERS

Chapter 3: Meet the Unos (1)

Prev chapter | Next Chapter

(author's note: starting from this chapter I'm not doing the colored text anymore. I quickly ran out of colors for how many characters there are)

Two weeks had passed since Mari started going to the SCCA. She had decided to spend the weekend at her Parent's, as they had been blowing up her phone about visiting. When she got back, she was greeted by her mother as if she had been gone for a year already. The first person she decided to catch up with was her sister, Kettia. They gamed from morning till afternoon, only stopping when their mother had made a massive welcome home luncheon for Mari.

Completely full and dreading the idea of how big dinner will be, Mari and Kettia continued playing Smash Bros in Kettia's room.

"No no no no, FUCK" Kettia exclaimed as her main, Pyra & Mythra, were beaten by Mari's Villager in a glorious final smash. "How are you so good with Villager?! I play this game more than you, and Villager's terrible anyway!"

"Not hard to get your pattern when you were spamming the same move for both Pyra and Mythra"

"Whatever! Villager is still dog-water, and personally, I'm not taking this disrespect. I want a rematch!"

"Nah, I'm done for now"

"What?! Already! Fine, but we're rematching tomorrow." Kettia closes out of Smash. "So what you wanna play next? Wanna see my Stardew file? I've been doing really good this run. I also cheated on every dateable npc. Wanna see the cut scene I unlocked?"

"Nah, I think I'm done gaming for today"

"Ahh damn. Wanna watch an Anime then?"

"Why don't we just talk?"

"Kinda cringe"

"Whatever, just get up here on the bed"

Kettia got out of her hunkered sitting position on the floor, and laid at the head of the bed, while Mari stayed sat on the foot of the bed. "So what? You got any interesting stories from that stupid university Dad sent you to?"

"...Uhm, that's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Kettia, I'm hoping you can keep a secret"

"You dropped out and now you're a streetwalker moonlighting at sketchy bars"

"What?"

"You know, what mom said would happen if you didn't get your degree"

"No no, I didn't drop out, I just switched Universities"

"Big if true"

"It is"

"Welp, Dad's disowning you. At least I'm the favorite kid now"

"That's what I'm talking about, you can't tell Dad"

"You think he's not gonna find out?"

"Well so far he hasn't"

"Mari, the night you didn't come back Mom and Dad were ready to drive down to the school and  interrogate their asses on where you went, and even if you do somehow see them enough that they won't try to barge into your school you're not going to, they still want to see you graduate from the school you're not going to. At some point they're gonna find out."

"Well I hope that when they find out, that they'll be satisfied by how good of a school it is"

"What school is it"

"SCCA, it stands for Sylvest-"

"I know what it stands for, and you're screwed. Buy your coffin now and will me your stuff, cause you're done"

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"All they've been able to talk about at the dinner table is the motherfucking SCCA"

"When did they become interested all of a sudden? And what complaints do they have about it?"

"Well, Mom is super freaking out about what that Vanny Kirk did"

"Van Niekirk"

"You shut the hell up, anyway. Dad was complaining about them a bit before that. First he was all like "Back in my day we had to actually pay for our tuitions, now these new age socialists are trying to ruin everything for the rest of us.""

"I can tell you right now, they definitely don't sound Socialist. Mr. Rand, my economics-"

"Me when I'm Mari and I won't let my sister finish her goddamn story"

"Alright alright, I'm just saying"

"Jesus. Anyway, Dad was also pretty disgusted by Vinny Kirk, but he usually just yaps about how they're "destroying the natural order of things," and, "my father didn't come to this country and work his back off just for these people to live off of our tax dollars," and so I try telling him, 'Dad, I don't think they use our tax dollars, they're, like, a private conglomenerate or something,' and he said, 'well that's what this is all leading to! First that E-sick Deeter gives a kid a free heart transplant, next thing you know the government has us all in their state owned communist factories!"

"Ok, for one, his name is pronounced Ishaq Didar"

"I'm still looking for whoever the fuck asked"

"Fine bitch, but that's an entire ass name you're fucking up"

"I don't care!"

"What, like nobody mispronounced your name reading it for the first time?"

"Hey, I have a cool ass name, those people just don't know how to read"

"Well anyway, back to what I was saying. Ishaq is a genius but he definitely does NOT know how to do a heart transplant"

"What, like you know him?"

"Yes, I do actually. I intern at his lab"

"Pics or it didn't happen"

"...I don't have any pictures"

"Me when I'm Mari and I just lie to my sister for no good reason"

"Why would I lie about this?!"

"To seem cooler I guess"

"Bitch, I don't need to impress you"

"What, next you're gonna tell me you know that other guy, Sexio Donnell"

"...Bitch, what?!"

****

Rose Uno looked out at the setting sun by the window sill, finishing up the dishes from lunch. She had a massive Roast cooking in the oven as she got ready to set up the dinner table. With her husband at work, and Kettia always out either at baseball practice or with friends during her free time, the house normally felt lonely, but she was glad to hear Mari and Kettia having fun again. She knew her daughter had to go to college for her career, but she was hoping Mari would be able to stay. Despite her protests when Mari announced she was moving out, it was Koshiro, her husband, that ultimately convinced her that this was for the better, for Mari to spread her wings and leave the nest. He commended her for it.

Rose snapped out of her mindless gazing when she heard her phone ringing. Looking at the caller ID, it was Koshiro. "Hi Honey, how's work?.....Oh, well you'll make it just in time for dinner then, the roast is gonna take a while. Sorry that bastard of a boss is keeping you there longer.....Yeah, Mari made it over safely, she and her sister are playing games and cussing around just like old times.....No, she hasn't said anything about school yet, you'll have to ask her that at the dinner table. But maybe wait a while on that, she probably doesn’t want to think about school for now.....I know, but she came here to relax with her family, and besides, we're probably the only ones she's got. You know she was never good at making friends.....Hey, don't blame me, I never saw you telling her to go outside much either.....EXACTLY!" There was a long pause on the phone after she said that "Well whatever, just tell her how you feel when you get here.....alright, love you."

****

"You're kind of a dumbass" Kettia said, slinking back after hearing Mari's story

"How so?"

"There were like so many red flags, the first time you should've booked it was after helping her find her dog, like, the girl is clearly a weirdo"

"She's not that weird, no weirder than me"

"My point exactly. If I met someone as weird as you in public I'd run the other way. You're lucky you have the excuse of being my sister, otherwise I'd never hang out with you"

Mari rolled her eyes "Yeah, I'm so lucky"

"Anyway, the next red flag was that Sexy O-"

"If you call him Sexy O'Donald one more time, I'm gonna hit you"

"Fine, the Don guy, whatever his name is. Like, if I saw his face grow literal spikes, I'd book i, I would've been the first one out the door"

"He has...very unique looking hives..."

"Yeah, anyway, and the third red flag would've been when that guy, I-" Mari glared at Kettia "...Ishaq" Mari stopped glaring "Yeah, Ishaq. Anyway, if that guy made me touch his eyeballs, they would've been black eyes after that is all I'm saying"

"Yeah, I really did feel ready to leave after that, but I felt bad for how sad Alicia was"

"I still don't get how my sister of all people was able to make a friend in a day"

"What, like I don't know how?"

"No! You don't! Whenever I tried to introduce you to my friends, you never even made an effort"

"Well your friends were weird"

"My friends were weird?! Bitch, you were the queen of the weird kids table. You're lucky you even got to meet my friends"

"Well whatever, I still had some friends"

"Barely, your friendships never made any sense. What was that one girl you brought over back in Freshman year? You said she was your best friend, but you guys never talked once in the entire time she was here"

"...I...I have a different way of communicating with friends"

"What, telepathically?"

"Shut up"

"Well whatever, it still makes no sense that you somehow made a friend in a day"

"Well, she wasn't my friend at first, I would just call her someone who was willing to help, but I'd definitely call her a friend now, after all we've been through"

"After surviving the eye guy"

"He can be a bit annoying with all of his pranks, but we actually got a few good pranks on him too"

"The one with the bucket of lemon juice over the door sounded hilarious"

"...Ok, we might've gone too far with that one"

"Maybe not far enough"

"Well either way, he's still a cool guy"

"Yeah, your little crush"

"I told you already, I don't have a crush on him!"

"Yeah yeah, the whole eyes in a jar thing, you told me, weirdo. But I know that must've taken a lot of bravery on your part"

"Well whatever, he doesn't even have those eyes anymore"

"...What do you mean by that?"

"I mean he doesn't have those eyes anymore, he traded them out for mantis shrimp eyes a bit ago"

"Wait, how the fuck?"

"Now he just wears this blindfold everywhere, because according to him his mind couldn't handle all of the new colors on the spectrum, it was like sensory overload"

"....huh?"

"Sad too, I really liked those eyes and he stabbed one out right in front me"

"PAUSE?"

"Yeah, he pretended he had a lab accident and that he got a needle in his eye. He started screaming, then I started screaming, and Alicia screamed, and I don't know where Galleta went, probably hid somewhere. Anyway, after all that he just started laughing his ass off, and even started digging the needle in deeper just to freak us out"

"Dude, that's horrible"

"Nah, according to him it doesn't hurt. He's done it like 50 times before, and he said he did it because he was getting a new pair anyway"

"Still"

"I know, sad. I asked him if I could have the other one, but he said he wanted to keep it"

"Why? I thought he destroyed the other one because he didn't want it?"

"He said those eyes have the most beautiful view of the world he's ever seen so far, that whoever used to own them didn't know that those eyes were able to see an extra unknown color, so he put that other eye on his chest"

"...Huh?"

"I know...it makes me want it more"

"Seek professional help"

"Too much work"

Kettia just laid at the head of her bed, arms crossed, looking at the ceiling "A lot to dump on me though, I don't know how I'm gonna keep it all a secret"

"Please. Like, if you could also let me know if Mom and Dad are going to try to visit me at that University, like, just try to distract them while I figure out what to do"

"I'm all for a good conspiracy, but like I said, they're gonna figure it out eventually"

"Hopefully by the time they figure it out, I'll have been graduated, and moved a country over"

"Wow, so you're really leaving us?"

"No, not for a long time, maybe not until I get my doctorate"

"Doctorate?!"

"Yeah, I might just go for my doctorate"

"Ok, for one, I can't imagine my sister ever becoming a doctor. If I needed life-saving surgery, and you were the only surgeon in the country, I would just die"

"Hey, I've done a pretty good job shadowing Ishaq"

"You just told me how terrible he is at his job"

"Exactly, so it's a learning experience for both of us"

"...Bruh. Well whatever the fuck you're majoring in, how do you expect to keep this secret until you get your doctorate?"

"I'll figure that out when I get there"

"Bruh..." Kettia sighed "You're kind of a dumbass"

The sun had already set on this cold fall night, and Koshiro found himself driving a lonely road. Not many people out, he was expecting way more, but he of course didn't complain about having a clear open road to commute back. He couldn't help but think back to earlier, when he stopped by his favorite coffee shop that morning, he had noticed a father playing games with his young daughters at one of the tables, likely just wasting time until he had to drop them off at school.

That moment was an interesting coincidence, right on the day when his own daughter was coming to visit, after her sudden disappearance. Koshiro knew his daughter was going to leave the nest soon, he had even encouraged it, but he never expected it to happen over night. The day Mari left, Koshiro had said his goodbyes like he always had, not expecting that to possibly be his last for a good while. The moment was enlightening to him, a reminder that youth passes as quickly as the changing autumn leaves. Just a short time ago he had congratulated his beloved daughter on graduating High School, just a bit before that, he was sending her off to her first day in High School, and a bit before that she had just been going to school, and not that long ago to him, she had just entered his life.

Koshiro didn't want to admit to his coworkers why he was more quiet than usual, that he was stressing the coming winter, because he still hadn't fully processed the spring that came years earlier. But the passing seasons wait for no one, and especially not for those who never stopped to give them even a moment's notice.

Glancing at the moon that came in as quickly as the setting sun, Koshiro thought about his conversation earlier...

****

Goddamn it, why does the boss think he can just dump all this work on me at the last moment. Who does he think I am? I ought to give him a piece of my mind!...Who are you kidding Koshiro, you're not going to do any of that... *sigh* ...Guess I'll have to tell Rose

".....Hey honey.....Oh yeah, it's going well I guess, but hey, I won't be able to make it to dinner on time. Stupid boss, you already know. I'll probably be back by 9.....Oh really? That long, ok, I'm glad. Uhm, did Mari make it over ok?..... Has she said anything about school yet? Or why she might've left?.....Well I think she at least owes us an explanation..... Yeah, kind of your fault for coddling her so much..... Well I wasn't there to tell her, you were....." *Koshiro gave a long pause* "...Yeah, I guess I will...Love you too..."

*beep*

Shiki's LMJ Liveblog - Case 2

(aka: Holy Shit, Someone Got Killed!)

I took a break between cases 1 and 2 to do one of the daily puzzles and stuff, but now we're back, and we had to hit up the cops directly.

Because murder.

And the paper guy who tried to brand Ernest as "Mr Steal Yo Girl" is back...

But now we gotta go see Hastings (who I'm neutral about).

》In Hastings's office《

He's gone?

Never mind, he's just angsty right now*. Least I found someone's mustache.

*(and a married man)

Still using the walkthrough though!

Hol'up, wait... TWO PEOPLE DIED AND ONLY ONE WAS A MURDER BECAUSE THE OTHER OFFED THEMSELVES!

... Well, seems SOMEONE intended to make the investigation hell for Hastings, but who?

》Meanwhile at another government building...《

Guess it's the mayor.

(And got in an extra 35 picarats from an optional puzzle!)

Eh, back to our mission though!

》mayor's office《

Did some extra looking around and... HOLY FUCKING SHIT IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING MIRACLE MASK REFERENCE???

Well, puzzle time! (also side note, the mayor fucking misgendered Sherl)

》one convoluted maze puzzle later《

Holy shit, a legend?? And that's how shit went down now?

*Sees the interactions between Hastings and Lowonida* Haha, Hastings is a simp!

》welp, to the rive- Wait a minute...《

OOOOOOOOO, MILF ALERT!

"I'm taking this case?" Fuck off, this ain't your game!

[make that "Asshole Milf Alert".]

》Off to the Thames - for real this time《

Aaaaand Katrielle's ADHD energy is shining through again.

Also, doomed het couple NPCs go brrrr.

》other side《

After a surprisingly easy 40 picarat puzzle, we met with a dumbass who was out fishing, who confirmed everything because... he saw it.

Meanwhile Ernest is simping for Kat again, but it came back and bit him in the ass.

》Chancer Lane again《

So the dead people were theater kids (age neutral), huh?

But we got the food minigame at least. Looks like a pain, so saving it for after completing everything required to progress the story

》Sus Bros《

Looks like the dead lady's family don't care about their darn kids...

》the old lady store《

Ernest is simping again, and yeah.

》welp, back to Guildhall《

the dead people have been around a lot lately...

SHERL CANONICALLY SAID "SUS"????

Whatever, there's Hot Profilers In My Area!

》Oh hey, Emiliana Perfetti's back《

Still as sassy as ever, O Hot Profiler In My Area?

Oh, you got a puzzle? Bring it on, bitch!

》one bad guy puzzle later《

Well, Emiliana's stumped, but whatever.

》Mayor's Office 2: The Reckoning《

She has plushies? Mood.

》after another puzzle《

Damn, Mayor, having to "I'm fine" your way through your career like a certain lawyer known for his forehead, huh?

The balcony? Sounds like a trap...

》Balcony time《

Wait... people came more because someone died, huh... sus...

OBJECTION! /ref

Yeah, so... IT WAS ALL A PRANK APPARENTLY AND SHE WAS PLOTTING TO YEET HASTINGS OUT OF THE COPS.

AND WHILE THE SECOND PART FAILED, THE PRANK WENT WELL WITH THE KIDS THESE DAYS.

Going from Persona to Pokemon is fun.

Dude just threw you to the wolves.

Nice greeting 🤨🤨

I know not every character has to be likable but... Really. Klara seems like she should be kept away from any and everybody. Like I'll take Hop over her or the other one any day. Sweet and goofy or needs help. Like couldn't they send a nice person like John NPC?

Also, I forget just how bad SS runs.🤣🤣 The pop in🤣🤣

Ah, the Diglett man. 151 Diglett!? Who needs that many Diglett?

🤣🤣The Slowpoke know she sucks.

Damn, those Slowpoke are fast!

Mustard going to play video games. 🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure the second trail is just doing Mustard's chores.

Red with a spiral pattern. 🤨🤨 That doesn't sound safe to eat.

Damn, how strong is she? That pot must weigh a ton.

Stay away from me you crazy two-faced bitch.

Kubfu is so cute 🥰🥰

Damn, Kubfu is really easy to friend. You'd think it'd be harder.

Water or Dark isn't an easy choice, but I'd go with Dark.

Non-traditional battle music that doesn't lead into the victory music.

No, Kubfu's too cute to evlove. 🥰🥰

Hop! 🥰🥰 I've never seen a Pentil walk. Never seen a Lilligant walk either.

Did Hop just lick you?😲

I hate you can't see anything in certain weather.

That little kid is going to shake that giant tree?

Run, motherfucker, run!

I never liked gigantamaxing or dynamaxing.

I like how there's one TV and Mustard hogs it. So even if you're the champion no one ever knows.🤣🤣

It was short and sweet but I don't think it's worth 15 dollars. (DLC cost 30 bucks for two stories). I'd price it at 10 bucks.

See the problem here is that were i an NPC guard, I am absolutely the kind that would wander into the bushes to look for a strange sound or move away from the group. Absolutely. Every time. I’ve got ADHD motherfucker, I’m programmed to search out and identify EVERY weird sound I hear. Strange clunk? I have to find out what it was no matter how benign or i wont be able to focus on anything for the rest of the damn day. was that buzzing the microwave or a taser or a distant helicopter? I dunno, but I better find out. Whoops, it was a protag on a stealth playthrough. Shit. Dead now.

Character 2

Name: Halcyon Party: Ambiscade Gang Relationship to party: Weird friend and homie who was supposed to be a minor antagonist

What makes them the best NPC: Halcyon looks and acts like she belongs in a 2006-America shopping mall. She is an incredible thief and has tall energy despite being a short king. She has a valley girl-ish accent but also sounds like she smokes three packs a day. Halcyon has the most insane weed strains in the world and also a weird-former-highschool-girlfriends thing with a friend of the party. She joined her current thieves' guild to spite her mom who runs another thieves' guild. She wants cars to exist so she can be a drunk driver. She's my everything.
