Dave finally snapped-

I dislike takes that Danse would be just as conservative in modernized aus when it's clearly shown his staunch views of things come from his time in the Brotherhood and his deep-rooted desire to belong to something with a greater purpose.

Not to mention lines that show much more open-mindedness that get overlooked for his harsher sentiments when you first meet him. Like the oppurtunity to be a part of something is why Danse fell so far into Brotherhood dogma and it doesn't negate the offense things he does but I feel like it's just lazy to be like "hmmm he'd def be racist" just so it aligns to his BoS beliefs.

It took a decade of being obsessed with Pacific Rim for me to finally get around to fiddling with my own mech story. This has no relation or connection to Glitter and Guilt or Decking City. This is basically a clean slate although this story does also take place on Earth.

SO FAR-I have it in my head that the mechs are piloted by at least two people: one that's the fighter who controls the robot's movements in combat and the other who maintains and controls the robot's systems (like reading the radar, charging up certain energy gauges for their co-pilot to prepare for strong attacks, activating shields, etc).

Basically, one person is defense and the other is offense. Mech piloting very much requires both pilots to be in sync with each other so they both come out alive in kaiju confrontations.

These two are kind of the misfits that struggle in social situations. The girl is clumsy and awkward and the boy tends to shut people out and really just sticks to himself. They winded up getting shoved into a giant robot without much hope for either of them to work out well, only for them to click almost immediately.

Bernard definitely "knows a guy"

idk what situation he would need a guy for, but i feel like it wouldn't really matter. His life is just such a collection of weird situations, and he always just happens to know a guy because of it

Did he meet them through some weird online conspiracy boards? Did he meet them through the cult? Did he just extrovert really close to the sun and get away with it? Has this exact situation just happened so many times that he just knows the person he needs at this point? Honestly, he doesn't even know anymore

You know what he DOES know? A guy

Wendy is back and better than ever! All it took was one of Kaz's fingers, some time with resurrection sickness, two bionic eyes, and a healer mech serum! Woo!

Wookshys thinks he can get into my good books by being inspired and helpful. I doubt there will be an opportunity for him to recruit anybody in the next eight days, but if we get someone, I suppose I'll let him have that small victory.

I got a Gallatross Wanders In alert, and my "new pet" senses went off, so I clicked to see where it was, and...

Randy Random clearly thinks I have too many pets (I only had 59, it's not thaaat many) and decided to smite this poor Gallatross. Unfortunately for Randy, he sent two, and Albina has the Word of Animals psycast. So now I have a pet Gallatross named Petite.

I don't know if Petite will get along with my Thrumbo army or not, but I hope so. I don't want to lose this colony to a kaiju fight.

Head Researcher Brennan has gone on a caravanning trip to visit the Annual Expo nearby, and she is not happy about it. She just wants to stay home and research.

Little Andy seems to have decided he wants to be just like his Hussar friend Henry and wants to go into combat. Obviously, we are going to avoid this if at all possible, but it certainly is accurate to the mindsets of every boy under ten I've ever met.

Playing a play-through of Baldur's Gate 3 with the no party limit mod just so I can have the whole gang along to see all the chatter between them and varied responses.

But seeing such a large group with me, often reminds me of how absurdly large Gacha game casts often get.

And how like, its so hard to take a situation seriously when there's so many people waiting behind you jump this one dude who wants to throw hands.

Like the true soul dying on the road outside of the grove, that fight where there's just three goons and I got two PCs, Wyll, Laz, Shadow, Asterion, Karlach, and Gale just dog-piling them.

Now imagine that when like several dozens or hundreds of incredible powerful operators nearby if you were the Doctor. Like big bad wants to throw hands and my personal army is vibing out.

This is one of the worst legit job listings I've ever seen. I work as a custodian and I make $14.50/hr. I wish I could report to Indeed for this garbage.

Part 1 of the TW Lore (V.1), "Pre-S1":

Note: This, and parts 2—, will be separated into two perspectives: Teen Troupe (TT) and Pavere Carnival (PC).

TT

On the dawn of his 300th mission to become a LSW, Lance was sent to Venice, Italy to capture his notorious enemy and then-ringleader of the Pavere Carnival, Karakumo. Although he is a bit conflicted about it since he has been tormented numerous times by her, the Carnival of Venice happening on the same day was a distraction for Lance at least.

So, as a masqueraded Kid Wing, Lance flew over to his destination to enjoy the festivities while reluctantly searching for his target. However, he began to notice something odd about how the festival's visitors acted around him. In fact, Lance had a bad feeling that Karakumo's presence was near, and it was confirmed when the carnival was staged in, according to Lance, a "clever and meticulous fashion."

After a pretty insulting confrontation courtesy of his target, Lance got into a dance fight with Karakumo. Throughout the scene, the future LSW observed his nemesis' movements were more graceful than previous battles. He was unsure if this was just part of the mood in the environment he was in, or if Karakumo was being nice for once.

A yank on the arm (unnecessarily) dragged Lance out from his thoughts and the applause from the unconscious carnival visitors began to fade in the background.

Once he was pulled into a secluded area of a palace, Karakumo not only commended the LSW's moves, but also offered to be his partner-in-crime. It felt like a slap on the face: Lance does not take kindly to his nemesis' past nuisances. But Karakumo explained her reason: she was looking for someone that can stop her boss from conjuring a "great nightmare," and Lance fits the criteria perfectly. Additionally, she wanted to leave her former workplace (Pavere Carnival) after disagreeing with her boss' new rules. He thought this was just an act to get away from him forever, but there was something in Karakumo's tone that convinced the LSW to team up with her. Moreover, he is unsure what this "great nightmare" his nemesis was referring too but wants to know more about the Pavere Carnival's inner workings.

Eventually, Lance decided to establish her position as a Super Wing due to his former nemesis' promising care around children (despite scaring them "for fun") during a cautious period of internship. As a result, the two SWs' relationship improved and got to know each other personally better. Then, Lance and Mari gave life to a hyperactive grape named Vicky.

Because both are working actively as SWs, Lance assigned Grand Albert (one of his colleagues and friends) to look after Vicky until Lance and Mari came back; this won't apply if either parent went on a mission, and Vicky was left under the care of the other. From there, their daughter would become friends with Ellie, who her grandfather would often take to work due to Ellie's undying curiosity of the world.

However, things began to go downhill: Karakumo promised to Lance she would introduce a special student of hers to him and Vicky in the latter's birthday. But on that day, Jimbo declared Mari as MIA because she has not reported to work for a few days without a reason.

A search party composing of Lance (who volunteered) and the other Super Wings flew across the world for signs of Mari. Meanwhile, Vicky was left wondering why her mom did not show up and who her “special student” is. Regardless, Ellie was there to comfort her devastated friend.

Once his luck ran out, Lance resigned his position as a Super Wing and he and Vicky “disappeared” from the face of Earth. But the ex-LSW kept his wife’s words and vows to search for more individuals that can combat the Pavere Carnival’s boss, thus leading to the creation of Teen Troupe, while taking care of Vicky.

Yet, he was struck by a dark period of his life: Lance abandoned his KW identity (which his daughter is unaware of during this time) and cut off contact with Mari's family members aside his and Vicky. The latter tried to cheer her dad up while doing her own part of the recruitment work for the troupe.

The Pavere Carnival fascinated Inei, an artistic plane with an interest for the weird and ugly. Specifically, he was drawn to the attention of the carnival's ringleader, Karakumo, growing up. She was the personification of arachnophobia, one of the world's common fears that involved Inei's favorite insect: the spider.

He wanted to become a Pavere Carnie, but Akumu was strongly against the idea. She heard rumors about the carnival's manager's shady practices, and Mari provided evidence to her sister. But why she didn't leave the carnival bewildered and frustrated Akumu. Regardless, Inei didn't believe his mother and aunt's claims. He then signed up for the Pavere Carnival and was taken under the internship of Karakumo.

During their time together, she and Inei became mentor and mentee respectively, and the latter created an alternate identity for himself: Rakumo. He awed Karakumo's work and looked forward to work under her leadership.

Meanwhile, the true leader of the Pavere Carnival, Layla, was distraught and disappointed when she received news of Billy Willy's death.

Her cousin’s gadgets were frightening enough to cause city-wide destruction and yet? He was defeated by a mere plane! Perhaps Billy didn’t instill enough fear on his opponents, and it was something Layla wanted to fix and implement on herself and the Pavere Carnies. Moreover, she noticed her attraction hasn’t gotten enough attention due to the spread of influencers.

So, because her carnies weren’t being scary enough, Layla initiated a new set of rules that departed from the “fun” trait the Pavere Carnival once boasted.

However, this made Karakumo, Layla’s then-second in command, disagree and she began to work differently than before. This made the ringleader's boss irritated, and the two had conversations together regarding this during closing hours.

A couple of months later, an ecstatic Karakumo wanted to introduce Rakumo to her newly formed family on the day of her daughter's birthday. The young Pavere Carnie was surprised but curious about his mentor's family. Karakumo never mentioned having one since Rakumo met her in-plane, and she apologized for the lack of proper training in the past few months, so it is assumed she was engaged with someone.

Perhaps his mentor's family has a fascination with Earth's strange side like him too!

On the day Karakumo would be picking him up to go to the party, Rakumo was baffled at the broken promise. He tried calling her several times, but it did not go through her radio. Soon, his fears were confirmed when Layla announced their ringleader has disappeared and the Pavere Carnival will be closed today to sort the matter out.

Like Vicky, Rakumo was devastated at the loss of his mentor. Additionally, he was furious that Karakumo's family was careless enough to take her life. The young Pavere Carnie trained on his own vigorously while the whereabouts of Karakumo slowly fed onto his strength.

One day, Rakumo was called to his boss' office and Layla, having to notice his close relationship with Karakumo, offered to take over her position as the Pavere Carnival's ringleader for the time being. Due to his strong loyalty under Karakumo's wing, Rakumo immediately sworn himself to the role and swore vengeance against the person, or plane, that took his mentor away.

But an ongoing suspicion about his mother's claims being accurate conflicted with Rakumo's anger. In fact, the ringleader position was advantageous to uncover information about Karakumo's disappearance and find out if Layla had a role in his mentor's case.

Nevertheless, it was quite buried under Rakumo's daily ringleading and training to become the most feared of the Pavere Carnival, while searching for his mentor's captor...or killer (Rakumo didn't want to describe as that).
