Groupchat Semi- AU 3

So does anyone remember the groupchat semi au that I made two chapters for a year ago? Well, I guess its officially Universe 1.1.1 whereas Starsnapped takes place in Universe 1. I guess I should note that Starsnapped doesn’t happen in 1.1.1, since Stars (and Anniey & Von) were actually not in Socon when Carmo wanted to do the kidnapping in 1.1′s timeline.

(I actually have a file with 1.1 Stars falling into Starsnapped because part 5 is Not Agreeing With Me. Wanted to be a bit self indulgent, but 1.1 Stars just made the tension drop like a stone.)

But anyways, 1.1.1 While I try to get Starsnapped 5 to actually be finished.

DancingButterfly: I’m still confused.

GunsNSkulls: We know.

IvyHearts: Jimi, hush.

IvyHearts: Rose, what are you confused about?

DancingButterfly: Why did we have to turn in the laptops (?) for these rectangular farcalls?

SexyRecon: The community got whatever data they needed from that one chat we had with the laptops. Now they want to test how Socon’s environment does with the phones.

SexyRecon: Also, their type of techno-magic makes phones harder to break than laptops, so Mahn won’t accidentally damage this one.

HammerOfChallenge: I hate that you’re right about that.

GoggledBlade: Plus this lets us be on the move more. I think they gave us blueprints for portable chargers as well?

RufflesInFlight: They did! Jasmine and I will be working on them once we get back to base.

LuxuryLightning: A charging crystal with a metal tip is an interesting concept, I must admit.

DancingButterfly: Speaking of

DancingButterfly: Why can’t we go home yet?

IvyHearts: The Community needs permission to bring. . . something into Socon for the phones to work.

SexyRecon: Satellite upgrades, since the original network was just for our laptops.

SexyRecon: Socon’s clear as far as stability is concerned, but its not part of the Interdimensional Community yet, so there’s political hoops to jump through.

TeamCoach: Not that the hoops are too high. The Empress is pretty much all for this, and she made Stars officially The Person In Charge of Interdimensional Affairs

GoggledBlade: Which reminds me- someone help me hide all the alcohol when we get back.

GoggledBlade: My boi didn’t want to be a leader. Now he’s the person in charge of how Socon presents itself to every other dimension.

GunsNSkulls: He’s four years older than you

GoggledBlade: My BOI

IvyHearts: Words can’t describe how happy I am that you got my brother out of his ‘romantic love doesn’t exist and sexuality exists just to harm me’ mindset

GoggledBlade: I wasn’t alone

FrostLizard: I believe Rose is still confused

DancingButterfly: I don’t think my last question even got answered.

IvyHearts: We need to stay here until everything is ironed out between the Empress and the Community

GoggledBlade: So until then we get to wander what’s basically an interdimensional mall

TeamCoach: With no money this community uses, not that we’d be able to take anything back since Socon’s not a Community dimension yet anyway.

SexyRecon: That’s why I’m hanging out outside what looks like one of Taroshan’s love hotels.

IvyHearts: Chax no

HammerOfChallenge: Chax no

FrostLizard: Lechaxim, no

SexyRecon: CHAX YES

StarTippedArrows: Chax no

SexyRecon: Wait, did you finish dealing with everything?

StarTippedArrows: No, my chaos senses started firing off.

StarTippedArrows: And after five minutes passed without Mika or Lady showing up, I figured it had to be you

GoggledBlade: WELL HE’S NOT WRONG

IvyHearts: Has anyone heard from Von? Or Aaron?

LuxuryLightning: Aaron’s with me.

ChemLab: I’m trying to find the phone’s voice-to-text option for when we get back.

GunsNSkulls: One chat with that and you’re spoiled, huh?

RufflesInFlight: I’ll help you look. I’ll need it if the chat goes crazy while I’m in my workshop.

SexyRecon: @StarTippedArrows I’ve just been invited to an interdimensional Alnwick Party, so if you’re not done soon I won’t be available for the next few hours

ChemLab: I’m chugging memory eraser potion when I get back

HammerOfChallenge: Save some for me

GoodTwin: ^

TeamCoach: ^

FrostLizard: ^

StarTippedArrows: ^

StarTippedArrows: Also yeah, Tuart finally stopped participating in the convo and everything went smoothly. Satellite launch is in three minutes, then we’re good to head home.

SexyRecon: Boo

StarTippedArrows: @everyone meet back in the community hall ASAP.

Universe 1.1.1- Return from an unplanned trip

So I guess I’ve decided that its 1.1.1 Stars who fell into the Starsnapped Offshoot.

Mature content warning: Chax channels the mood of the ‘would you screw your clone’ question near the end of this.

General Chat

StarTippedArrows: I’m back

IvyHearts: You can’t just say that after disappearing in the middle of your daily chore!

IvyHearts: Where are you?

StarTippedArrows: Just got out of a tear, I’m in the mansion right now

StarTippedArrows: I think this is the room I was using for my office while the HQ was being remodeled, actually

IvyHearts: Nilofer damned tears.

IvyHearts: Are you okay? You didn’t get vivisected, did you?

StarTippedArrows: No, the tear didn’t take me to Earth

StarTippedArrows: Or Tearra

StarTippedArrows: Or anywhere we’ve been before, actually.

GoggledBlade: Where’d you go then?

StarTippedArrows: Another Socon

IvyHearts: What?!

GoggledBlade: What?!

ChemLab: What?!

LuxuryLightning: What?!

SexyRecon: What?!

RufflesInFlight: What?!

FrostLizard: What?!

GoodTwin: What?!

TeamCoach: What?!

HammerOfChallenge: What?!

GunsNSkulls: What?!

DancingButterfly: What?!

StarTippedArrows: Glad I caught all of your attention.

IvyHearts: What do you mean another Socon?

ChemLab: Honestly with how m-many Earths there are on the other side of tears, it only makes sense there’d be other S-Socons as well.

GunsNSkulls: Do they have tear troubles as well?

StarTippedArrows: No, I think that’s a feature unique to our iteration of Socon.

StarTippedArrows: Other-me didn’t even know who Captain Walker was at all.

IvyHearts: THAT JUST RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS

SexyRecon: Maybe we should let him tell the story, then ask?

GunsNSkulls: I’m sorry, is Chax being a voice of reason?

SexyRecon: Good point

StarTippedArrows: Chax no.

SexyRecon: You don’t know what I was going to type

StarTippedArrows: It was something to make you look less like a voice of reason, so no.

RufflesInFlight: I’m taking the voice of reason role now.

RufflesInFlight: Stars, can you walk and message?

StarTippedArrows: I have been.

RufflesInFlight: Then tell us what happened.

StarTippedArrows: How far back should I start?

IvyHearts: Start with how you went through the tear.

StarTippedArrows: Cross kicked me through it when I caught him snooping around.

IvyHearts: Ah, Cross. That explains a lot.

StarTippedArrows: I thought that would.

StarTippedArrows: Anyway, Cross kicks me into a tear and I end up falling out the other side in a Nemirest orchard.

GoggledBlade: That’s how you knew it was another Socon?

StarTippedArrows: No, it took me a bit to realize what the trees were.

StarTippedArrows: What tipped me off was No-Maverick-Therapy Carmo

IvyHearts: Oh Nilofer

GoggledBlade: Why Pyrrhus why

LuxuryLightning: I thought we were done hearing her name.

ChemLab: Why

FrostLizard: Ugh

StarTippedArrows: Yeah. She starts running toward me with her usual spiels and I’m already done with her.

ChemLab: After last year we’re a-all done with her.

StarTippedArrows: You’re about to be more done, because according to her employee, that Socon is a year behind ours.

GoggledBlade: Without the tears though, that Socon couldn’t have gone through what we did with her though.

StarTippedArrows: But without the tears, it turns out Carmo had a plan to kidnap me in my sleep.

IvyHearts: TIME TO MURDER A BITCH

StarTippedArrows: That’s what other-you’s mood was as well.

IvyHearts: What.

RufflesInFlight: HEY HOW ABOUT WE KEEP THIS STORY IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER INSTEAD OF JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

HammerOfChallenge: Crystal needs to be the voice of reason more often.

TeamCoach: Further clarification though, when last year?

StarTippedArrows: In the middle of the period where Anniey, Von, and I disappeared. You know, the start of last year’s multidimensional mess.

RufflesInFlight: STORY

StarTippedArrows: Right right.

StarTippedArrows: So Carmo comes rushing up to me, wearing other-me’s robe I may add.

IvyHearts: MURDER

StarTippedArrows: and I just stop her dead in her tracks because fuck all the way off, Carmo.

IvyHearts: GOOD

StarTippedArrows: I gather from her and her employee that she kidnapped me because Spectette left a notice for her family. She wanted me to be her hero and realize I always loved her while saving her.

ChemLab: I audibly snorted r-reading that.

StarTippedArrows: Yeah, that really wasn’t going to end the way she thought, even if I didn’t get involved.

StarTippedArrows: The employee told me the Nemirest orchard was Carmo’s project, so I had a moment of immaturity and stripped the trees bare.

StarTippedArrows: That ended up revealing that Other-Me, who was wearing an outfit made of wood aura because he was kidnapped in his sleep and Carmo had his robe, was hiding in one of the nearby trees.

IvyHearts: Slaughter.

StarTippedArrows: And Spectette was in a separate nearby tree.

GoggledBlade: Because why wouldn’t everyone just be there?

StarTippedArrows: The four of them ended up sputtering at each other, so I took some of the pollen and KO’d Carmo while she was confused.

StarTippedArrows: Took Other-Me’s robe from her and gave it back to him while telling her employee to take her home.

IvyHearts: No murder?

StarTippedArrows: I’m not starting scandals in other Socons, Anniey.

StarTippedArrows: So I ask Spectette if she could ‘port me and other me to at least the territory edge, which is apparently too much for her cane to do at once.

StarTippedArrows: She wanted to know how I knew about her, to which I just said other dimensional shenanigans.

TeamCoach: In a sense, that isn’t wrong.

StarTippedArrows: Other-me tells me he eavesdropped on Carmo and her employee and heard her say his folks got involved, so other-you-all are aware and on your way.

IvyHearts: We better have been.

StarTippedArrows: And yeah, this is where I found out this Other-Socon didn’t have a Walker, or seemingly any tears at all.

StarTippedArrows: Cross was still a thing though.

RufflesInFlight: Yuck.

StarTippedArrows: Story kinda drops off from here. We make it to the train station and just wait until nightfall for everyone else to show up.

GunsNSkulls: No one got in your way?

StarTippedArrows: Other-me’s folks already made a scene via farcall, and most of the staff worked under the Medeiros parents rather than Carmo herself.

StarTippedArrows: Plus the Spectette threat. That was on everyone’s minds.

StarTippedArrows: So no, we weren’t really bothered, though there were no outgoing trains because Spectette.

GoodTwin: Shouldn’t there have been no incoming trains as well?

DancingButterfly: Even I know that wouldn’t have stopped Spectette.

StarTippedArrows: Night finally falls and the train with all of your others gets there. Other-Anniey marches off the train in full murder mode until she sees the two of us. That was a fun expression to see.

StarTippedArrows: Other-Takky and Other-Sal also rush out, and oh my Madara the Carmo trauma made me so blind to how obviously you two were pining.

GoggledBlade: SHUT

FrostLizard: You weren’t kidnapped here.

StarTippedArrows: Yeah, like the everything else that we went through wouldn’t have been as troubling as a kidnapping.

FrostLizard: Point

StarTippedArrows: Also not for a lack of trying. There was at least one group that tried to abduct me.

DancingButterfly: Weren’t you sad for a while after that?

StarTippedArrows: No, that was the assassination attempt. I was sad because I was hit with the realization of I have standards for who can try to assassinate me what is my life.

StarTippedArrows: Anyways, before I could laugh at the rest of the Other-Team’s reaction to two of me, a Tear opened up right where I was standing, because tears love/hate me like that.

SexyRecon: raise your hand if tears have personally victimized you in this way.

SexyRecon: [raises hand]

RufflesInFlight: [raises hand]

FrostLizard: [raises hand]

IvyHearts: [raises hand]

ChemLab: [raises hand]

GunsNSkulls: [raises hand]

HammerOfChallenge: [raises hand]

LuxuryLightning: [raises hand]

StarTippedArrows: And the story ends there, because I’m back home now and the first thing I do is poke this chat.

StarTippedArrows: Any questions?

The Raunchy Chat

SexyRecon: @StarTippedArrows So you didn’t try to figure out of having sex with your double would just be masturbation?

StarTippedArrows: You’ve been dying to ask that since Jimi called you a voice of reason, haven’t you?

SexyRecon: I’m not reading a no.

IvyHearts: Hey Chax?

IvyHearts: I’m still feeling murder-y

SexyRecon: Question withdrawn

General Chat

StarTippedArrows: Any questions that isn’t Chax being a gross troll?

GoodTwin: What happened to Spectette?

StarTippedArrows: Dunno. I figure her heist went as well as it did here.

GoggledBlade: Did you try to guide other-you for future events?

StarTippedArrows: Other-me lived the past few years without the influence of tears or other dimensions. Our lives are nowhere near the same.

StarTippedArrows: Which reminds me, he said he got his aura to mimic the consistency of tree sap during this whole debacle, I should see if I can do that.

Universe 1.1.1- Eganmor Discussions

This is me closing a plothole I made with one of the places in my setting.

Background knowledge- Eganmor village is located at the edge of the forest with the same name. The forest produces pollen that causes people who are exposed to it for long enough periods of time to have their lips locked into a smiling position. The condition is known as liplock. Eganmor Village is known for the liplock condition, as well as selling the pollen for AlChemistric reasons.

General Chat

GunsNSkulls: @StarTippedArrows @IvyHearts History buffs I have a question I need answered

StarTippedArrows has joined the chat

IvyHearts has joined the chat

StarTippedArrows: What’s going on

GunsNSkulls: I was just thinking- Eganmor makes no sense

IvyHearts: We don’t have medical degrees, Jimi

GunsNSkulls: I’m not talking about the specifics of how liplock works

GunsNSkulls: I’m talking about- why don’t the local wood or wind elements keep the village’s air clear of the liplock inducing pollen

GunsNSkulls: Or why didn’t they before Page came by

StarTippedArrows: Ah. That.

IvyHearts: . . . That’s a good question.

StarTippedArrows: It’s a power and control thing. Pollen is actually really hard to 100% control.

GunsNSkulls: BS

StarTippedArrows: I’m serious! You don’t need to be mage-level to get pollen 100%, but you need to be up there.

StarTippedArrows: Even for me moving pollen with magic is like moving with my hands- most of it will get to where I’m taking it, but some spills out.

StarTippedArrows: @RufflesInFlight: can you confirm with wind?

RufflesInFlight has joined the chat

RufflesInFlight: Pollen and dust are part of the control tests for the Wind Mage Certification test, so yes I can confirm.

RufflesInFlight: Not everyone is sensitive enough to register every mote going through the air- or rather, most wind elements lose that level of sensitivity really young.

RufflesInFlight: I’d imagine that trying to find hundreds of pollen motes is part of the Wood Mage Certification test.

GunsNSkulls: But still

GunsNSkulls: You’d think they’d be able to keep the air clean enough to make liplock not a daily issue

StarTippedArrows: You underestimate how much pollen Eganmor forest pumps out hourly.

GunsNSkulls: You mean daily?

StarTippedArrows: That too.

ChemLab has entered the chat

ChemLab: Eganmor villagers actually harv-vest the pollen in the air- as well as deep in the forest. Aerated and f-fresh pollen are highly sought after AlChemistry re-reagents.

StarTippedArrows: Pretty much anytime someone’s seen the village, it was after harvesting.

GunsNSkulls: Seriously?

ChemLab: Liplock would probably set in in th-three days instead of ten if they didn’t harvest the pollen.

GunsNSkulls: So they already only partially clean the air with the harvesting?

IvyHearts: According to historical records, the earliest settlers of Eganmor did in fact try to keep the village’s air clear

IvyHearts: But too little people had enough power to do so, and trying to keep it up put them in near constant exhaustion.

GunsNSkulls: What about glyphing crystals to do the job? They’d just need to keep the things recharged.

RufflesInFlight: !!!

RufflesInFlight: @StarTippedArrows: @LuxuryLightning meet me in the workshop ASAQUICKLY

RufflesInFlight has left the chat

StarTippedArrows has left the chat

IvyHearts: Crystal glyphing wasn’t as advanced back then as it is now, and liplock just became a way of life over the centuries.

IvyHearts: but now you’ve gone and given Crystal an idea, so between that and Page’s cure, liplock is probably not going to be an issue ever again.

GunsNSkulls: . . . yay me?

Anyone remember when I said I wanted to write AU fanfic of my own unwritten stuff?

Well, I’ve started. Its not too AU-ish in that it could to into the crossover events I’ve written with friends, but still. Team Stars Groupchat Semi-AU.

Prologue- aka how people from a dimension without digital technology got their hands on a groupchat program.

Under normal circumstances, finding out that your dimension isn’t on the verge of collapsing at any second would be a cause for celebration. And sure, it wasn’t like Stars wasn’t happy about that. He and his team shared way too big grins upon hearing those words. It was just the words after that sent his mood plummeting.

Because something like this could only happen to him. And his team too, but to him.

Due to Socon’s unusually high concentration of dimensional tears, it turns out the world was something of an open secret in the interdimensional community. Really, the need to keep a façade of secrecy was only due to Socon’s Interdimensional Research Collaborate insisting that most of Socon’s civilians didn’t discover other dimensions. With the confirmation of the dimension’s stability however, it was decided that Socon should have a face within the interdimensional community.And that face had to be Stars’, since he had the most non-Socon ties of most anyone in Socon, save for the highest of the higher ups in the Collaborate.

Mika, Lady, and Terry were going to have a good laugh at that.

Stars had tried to argue this point however. He and his team already had their own responsibilities after all. And if anyone was going to be the face of Socon to the dimensions, it should be the Empress.

But as his luck would have it, Empress Aelalise Maroth disagreed with the statement. Even going as far as telling Stars to his face (or rather, his ear, since this happened over Farcall,) that she was willing to give him an official Title for this work. He could hear the woman smirk as she said this, and it took quite a bit of willpower not to throw his FCA across the room at that.

About the only bit of good luck was that the Community didn’t take the Collaborate’s suggestion of throwing his team into this new role head first. They had provided a facsimile of their non face-to-face communications to his team, and set up a network that spanned Socon without being detected by the local governments.

So that is how he ended up with a hybrid television monitor-flat typewriter keyboard in front of him, a “groupchat” program all set up and waiting for a button press. Sighing at what his life has become yet again, Stars reluctantly pressed the “enter” key.

Universe 1.1.1- Channel Splitting

I found this post I made a while ago while looking things I could use for the Big Post of Rules, and decided to make an update bringing the various rooms into existence.

SexyRecon: SO!

SexyRecon: Being the most tech savvy, the Community still let me be admin on this program

SexyRecon: I spent the last while figuring out how this thing works!

GoodTwin: Did you even sleep?

SexyRecon: THE LAST WHILE

GoggledBlade: I’m worried now

StarTippedArrows: Did you break something in the code already?

SexyRecon: I’d be hurt at the lack of faith if you didn’t give me the perfect segue!

New public channel opened: What’s Broken Today?

StarTippedArrows: what

SexyRecon: Try not to clutter it, it’s basically this room, but dedicated to whatever gets broken

StarTippedArrows: . . . that is annoyingly convenient

HammerOfChallenge Can you make a channel so that we don’t have to risk hearing of your escapades every time we open this one?

SexyRecon: Done and DONE!

New public channel opened: The Raunchy Chat

IvyHearts: What’s this option that says, ‘Private channels?’

SexyRecon: That’s an option that you can use to make a channel with only certain people. Whoever makes it get admin privileges for only that room.

IvyHearts: But you and Stars still have overall Admin, even if you’re not there?

SexyRecon: Let’s see, try make one without me.

IvyHearts has made a Private Channel: Emplien-Raised (StarTippedArrows, IvyHearts, ChemLab)

SexyRecon: Well, the announcement kinda ruins it.

DancingButterfly: What announcement?

ChemLab: You don’t see it?

SexyRecon: Takky, Jimi?

GoggledBlade: I don’t see anything

GunsNSkulls: Neither do I

ChemLab: I see it. Probably because I’m in-invited

SexyRecon: I’ll copy paste it. “IvyHearts has made a Private Channel: Hidden Name (StarTippedArrows, IvyHearts, ChemLab)”

SexyRecon: Does anyone but me and the invited peeps see that?

DancingButterfly: No, I don’t see that.

TeamCoach: Nothing like that

StarTippedArrows: I see the actual name of the channel, both in the announcement and the channel list

SexyRecon: The channel list! Lemme see that.

SexyRecon: I see “Hidden channel name” and who’s in there.

SexyRecon: “This channel has been hidden from you because you were not invited to this channel. However, another Admin is already part of this channel. Unhide this channel anyway?” Options: For me, For Admins, For Everyone, Cancel

StarTippedArrows: The new channel looks normal to me.

SexyRecon: New experiment, someone make a channel without me or Stars.

HammerOfChallenge made a Private Channel: Weapon Crafting Appreciation (HammerOfChallenge, FrostLizard, GunsNSkulls, GoggledBlade)

LuxuryLightning made a Private Channel: My Old Team (FrostLizard, GoggledBlade, LuxuryLightning, GoodTwin, TeamCoach)

SexyRecon: The “Hidden Channel” names have numbers to them now and trying to get in doesn’t have the “another admin” line, but other than that it’s the same.

StarTippedArrows: I unhid both the channels, which let me see the names. It didn’t force me to join them, though there’s an option to do so.

LuxuryLightning disbanded the Private Channel: My Old Team

LuxuryLightning made a Private Channel: My Old Team (FrostLizard, GoggledBlade, LuxuryLightning, GoodTwin, TeamCoach)

SexyRecon: The extra, Jasmine has it.

RufflesInFlight: What’s this about being extra?

GoggledBlade: Jasmine disbanded and remade her channel so Stars couldn’t see it.

StarTippedArrows: The name’s hidden but I can still SEE its there and who’s in it.

LuxuryLightning: It’s not ideal, but it wor-

LuxuryLightning: YOU TWO GET BACK IN THERE

GoodTwin: Why can I hear Jasmine screaming and Chax laughing simultaneously?

StarTippedArrows: Takky and Briar left Jasmine’s channel.

GoodTwin: oh

GoggledBlade: Yeah, Imma make my own room instead

GoggledBlade made the Private Channel: Team Youngblood (ChemLab, GunsNSkulls, GoggledBlade, DancingButterfly)

ChemLab:. . . actually,

ChemLab made the Private Channel: AlChemistry Team (IvyHearts, SexyRecon, ChemLab)

IvyHearts: I’m kicking myself for not thinking of that.

RufflesInFlight: thinking of what?

IvyHearts: Crystal, you should make a channel for the glyphers

RufflesInFlight: oh! Oh, I get it now.

RufflesInFlight made the Private Channel: Crystal Glyphers (StarTippedArrows, LuxuryLightning, RufflesInFlight)

RufflesInFlight: Done and done

SexyRecon made the Private Channel: The Team’s Core (StarTippedArrows, IvyHearts, SexyRecon, HammerOfChallenge, FrostLizard)

StarTippedArrows: Its true but you shouldn’t say it, Chax

TeamCoach: Von and Crystal made chats for their workshops?

RufflesInFlight: Yep

TeamCoach: Permission to make channels for the PT classes?

SexyRecon: lol, permission?

StarTippedArrows: No need to ask, especially if it has an actual purpose like that

TeamCoach: got it

TeamCoach made the Private Channel: Strength-Centric PT (HammerOfChallenge, GoggledBlade, GoodTwin, TeamCoach, DancingButterfly)

TeamCoach made the Private Channel: Distance-Centric PT (StarTippedArrows, GunsNSkulls, LuxuryLightning, TeamCoach)

TeamCoach made the Private Channel: Agility-Centric PT (SexyRecon, FrostLizard, TeamCoach)

TeamCoach made the Private Channel: Self-Defense PT (IvyHearts, ChemLab, TeamCoach, RufflesInFlight)

TeamCoach: Von, don’t try and leave that channel.

Team Youngblood

ChemLab: Did anyone here find the channel m-mute function?

GoggledBlade: Oh Phyrrhus’ Embers, really Von?

ChemLab: I’m trying to not have Briar pull a J-Jasmine.

GunsNSkulls: Von you owe me new lungs. I can’t keep laughin’ like this.

General Chat

FrostLizard: Is everyone done making new channels?

SexyRecon: I am for now.

IvyHearts: I have an idea for one, but later.

LuxuryLightning: Sal, I’d just like to thank you for NOT leaving my channel.

FrostLizard: After that scream earlier, I just muted it.

DM: ChemLab to FrostLizard

ChemLab: One, did you have t-to set her off again?

ChemLab: and two, HOW do I mute channels?

FrostLizard: I’ll admit, that wasn’t my smartest message.

FrostLizard: and I’ll just show you. You’re sending voice messages from your lab, right?

ChemLab: Yes, and thank you

Universe 1.1.1 Part 9- Weird Questions

Chax -> Anniey

SunMinerals: Hey, can you do me a favor?

HealthPotions: Depends on the favor.

SunMinerals: Nothing too bad. I just want to play a question and answer game in the main chat.

SunMinerals: But the second I suggest something I’ll get shot down.

HealthPotions: What questions?

SunMinerals: {link-100 questions no one ever asked}

HealthPotions: Most of these are fine, some are suspect, but all of them are distinctly Earthly rather ran Soconian

SunMinerals: I’ll let you know when I find a Socon with an internet.

HealthPotions: Kay

HealthPotions: How were you planning on running this anyway?

SunMinerals: {Link- custom dice roller}

SunMinerals: Roll the 13 sided for one of us, the 100 sided for a random question.

HealthPotions: Okay, yeah I’ll run this. Gimme a few minutes.

General Chat

IvyHearts: Okay everyone

IvyHearts: I already talked to Stars about this, but he wanted to give you all a say as well.

IvyHearts: We need to submit a team bonding activity for the month, so either we do one of the standard ones or we can play a question and answer game here on the chat now.

IvyHearts: Give me a thumbs up react on this post if you want to do the q&a game here.

[7 people reacted with ‘thumbs up’]

TeamCoach: How is this going to work?

IvyHearts: I have a list of odd questions and a couple of virtual dice. I’ll roll to see who gets what question.

TeamCoach: Okay, that seems fair.

[Briar has reacted with ‘thumbs up’ to Give me a thumbs up react on this post if you want to do the q&a game here.]

IvyHearts: Since I haven’t reacted, that’s 9/13 who are good with this.

IvyHearts: I’m guessing @HammerOfChallenge doesn’t care either way and @FrostLizard would prefer to do neither of them, but this is still a job we have so tough luck.

IvyHearts: Same to @LuxuryLightning and @GoodTwin

IvyHearts: I’ll just start rolling now.

IvyHearts: And hey, at least we start with the person who’s always an open book. @SexyRecon do you have any magazine subscriptions?

SexyRecon: No actual subscriptions, but I do pick up a couple of prank based mags when I see them on shelves.

HammerOfChallenge: That’s tamer than I expected.

SexyRecon: And a few AlChemistry based ones when they start boasting about new sunblock formulas.

ChemLab: D-don’t bother with that. I have discounted subsc-scriptions to all AlChemistry based magazines. I’ll leave the sunblock ones in th-the lab.

SexyRecon: Ooh, nice.

IvyHearts: Look at that, bonding already! Albeit between folks who share the lab.

IvyHearts: Anyways! @TeamCoach this one is obvious but tea or coffee?

TeamCoach: Tea.

GoggledBlade: You really should have re-rolled that one.

IvyHearts: That was a re-roll, the first one had something to do with Earth celebrities we don’t know.

TeamCoach: Ah

GoggledBlade: Ah

IvyHearts: I’ll modify this question. @GoggledBlade as a kid what did you dress up as for costume parties?

GoggledBlade: My folks had me dress up as historical Taroshan swordsmen when I went to those. Keep me connected to the culture and such.

StarTippedArrows: Were you even taking kendo or fencing when you did that?

GoggledBlade: Not formally, but mom did keep my and my sibs up with her family’s style before we could take actual classes.

IvyHearts: Let’s keep this ball rolling! @FrostLizard are you afraid of heights.

FrostLizard: No.

IvyHearts: I suppose that’s the best I’ll get. @GunsNSkulls did you ever get cosmetic surgery?

GunsNSkulls: Do wisdom teeth count?

IvyHearts: No.

GunsNSkulls: Then no

GoggledBlade: You needed to get your wisdom teeth out?

SexyRecon: If you’re going to say what I think you’re going to say, don’t.

StarTippedArrows: Taki, did your wisdom teeth grow in without incident?

GoggledBlade: Did no one else’s?

RufflesInFlight: Its pretty uncommon. My wisdom teeth never got out of my gums, so the dentists are keeping tabs on them.

ChemLab: Same here.

DancingButterfly: I only grew two- bottom left and top right.

StarTippedArrows: I know genetics is a wonky science but how did that happen

DancingButterfly: No idea, my mom and siblings had all four of theirs.

IvyHearts: Warning- this is one of the weirder questions. @RufflesInFlight did you ever poop in the woods?

HammerOfChallenge: Lachlan’s dirt, that is not enough of a warning.

RufflesInFlight: Between being part of a jack of all trades miniguild and a temple exploring archeologist? I’m sure quite a few of us have.

RufflesInFlight: But not me. I could always fly to a more suitable spot.

IvyHearts: Lucky you.

IvyHearts: Oh, I finally rolled myself. ‘Have I ever won a contest?’

IvyHearts: I haven’t. I entered a few during my school times, but its hard to win in contests here in Emplien without a bit of bribery, even if you’re part of the number 3 family.

ChemLab: That’s why I only d-did mail in contests for AlChemistry stuff while I was in sch-school.

GunsNSkulls: Oh Jin, I just now thought about how school woulda been for ya Von. How’d you do?

ChemLab: For the m-most part no one bothered me too much because they’d then h-have to deal with Anniey.

IvyHearts: Damn right. Also, after I graduated, I took us both to Asmeau to get our mage certifications.

ChemLab: So by the t-time I came back I was a certified mage, and the teachers were fond of me for being able to actually understand all their teaching.

ChemLab: Which meant despite the u-uptick of hostility everything was still fine at school.

IvyHearts: People were hostile to you after I left?

StarTippedArrows: I want names, particularly family names.

RufflesInFlight: I’ll take the full names.

IvyHearts: After they get those names, I want territory locations

FrostLizard: Give me all that information

ChemLab: C-calm down. All of you.

ChemLab: I still graduated as a mage and with the equivalent of two years of ec-extra education. One year of badly behaved peers was n-not even a bump on the road, relatively speaking.

SexyRecon: Wait, you graduated on time with the equivalent of two years?

SexyRecon: That beats my record where I took an extra year of education and graduated with the equivalent of two.

HammerOfChallenge: Didn’t we graduate at the same year? I took two years of extra blacksmithing education.

SexyRecon: I was officially part of the 919/921 class because I was born so late in the year, but graduated in 920.

GoggledBlade: Whoo class of 920! Even though I only did one year of my optional education instead of two.

IvyHearts: Okay lets not get into our graduating classes, lets move on with the game!

IvyHearts: @LuxuryLightning what is your least favorite show?

LuxuryLightning: There was this one show I saw just before I graduated. The main character was basically me with red hair.

LuxuryLightning: She had it all at the beginning of the movie, and ended up losing it all and ended up completely humiliated!

LuxuryLightning: I felt for her, truly. I hated everything about the show besides her.

IvyHearts: I’m gonna start pruning results now, try and get each of us to answer once.

SexyRecon: You’re taking a while

IvyHearts: I’m getting a lot of repeat results, including to the questions somehow.

IvyHearts: FINALLY! @HammerOfChallege do you sing in the shower?

HammerOfChallenge: No, I don’t

GoggledBlade: Liar

TeamCoach: Liar

GoodTwin: Liar

HammerOfChallenge: I’m not lying.

GoggledBlade: Mahn, dude, you sing every time we finish our PT

TeamCoach: It’s a mumble-singing, but its definitely not a hum.

HammerOfChallenge: . . . do I?

HammerOfChallenge: It’s not on purpose.

GoodTwin: I sang along with you once and you didn’t realize?

GoggledBlade: My ears still feel blessed from that shower

IvyHearts: Isn’t Aaron our second best singer, below Von?

TeamCoach: I think Mahn actually gives Aaron a run for his money.

IvyHearts: Huh.

IvyHearts: Anyways, @GoodTwin favorite type of fruit pie?

GoodTwin: My dad makes really good pear tarts, does that count?

LuxuryLightning: He really does, I’ve yet to find any pie or tart that compares.

StarTippedArrows: That sounds intriguing.

IvyHearts: It does. @ChemLab what kind of records do you have?

ChemLab: Just the o-ones you gave me as a gift. I listen to t-tapes more often.

SexyRecon: The Otturi language tapes right? The ones you sing along with when you’re in your element in the lab?

ChemLab: Yes.

IvyHearts: @DancingButterfly to our resident pink expert, do you think ok for guys to wear pink?

DancingButterfly: I mean, why can’t they?

SexyRecon: Anniey did say earlier this list references Earth things, and this is one of their gender roles/ restrictions/ whatever. Pink for girls and blue for boys.

DancingButterfly: Pink is just light red though?

RufflesInFlight: Girls get part of the red spectrum and boys get the whole of blue?

StarTippedArrows: Why are the Earths the way they are?

GoggledBlade: Is pink the opposite of blue somehow?

LuxuryLightning: They’re not even opposites on the color wheel, if that’s what they were trying to do. Blue’s opposite is orange, and pink being a part of red means its opposite would be in the greens!

IvyHearts: As fun as bashing Earth culture is, that’s probably not company approved bonding.

IvyHearts: @StarTippedArrows final question, do you count your steps as you walk?

StarTippedArrows: No, not really? I usually measure my runs by what landmarks I pass or make it to.

StarTippedArrows: Or if I have to use a gym treadmill, by time.

FrostLizard: Are we done now?

IvyHearts: Yeah, mom should accept this as a team bonding activity.

FrostLizard: Good
