Here is an overflow log for the Black Rock, New Mexico mission! The original log is here, and the OOC information is here. Start new threads or continue old ones, this is just some more room for it to grow into.

Comments

no. it is spelled n and then o. two letters. it is a very simple word!

[boughtabookstore]

[ One raised eyebrow. Really? ]

I feel that your verbal may go over as well as any physical attempts.

[boughtabookstore]

That does seem like a role that would suit you fairly well.

[ Glancing over. They're under the stars in the Wild West, thousands of years back in time from where they came from and over a hundred from their own starting point. The desert is very large and still and the stars are very bright. It feels like perspective. It will be one hundred and twenty years until she is asked to join her team. ] I don't know that we're really all that different.

[willnotdespair]

[ Mithos smiles as he acknowledged Kratos' response before turning his full attention to the horse.

Okay ... time to get on the horse.

Following every one of Kratos' steps carefully he mounts the horse and only looks back at Kratos once he is mounted to see if he approved or not. ]

[ He's looking down at his dessert as it arrives now, poking at the garnish with his fork for a moment before the mood lifts again. ]

S'pretty. Gigantic, tiny balls of light aeons away. Yeah, it's nice. Little vacation, I think, catch some rays, a little peace and quiet for once so I can finish my book.

[fe_male]

[ what, it's an old favourite ]

So, again, when you're not expecting it.

[motherofnemesis]

[ She just kind of hums an assent to that, thoughtful, and then tilts her head at him, smiling a little. ]

You're writing a book?

[fe_male]

[ okay, he can see where you got that, but ]

Facetious - reading. There are enough books about me already, and I'm taking a break from writing textbooks. You know, letting other people have a shot at it too, sharing is caring.

[motherofnemesis]

I was wondering. Never seen you writing at all. [ Considering. ] There's books about you?

[willnotdespair]

Really? How so?

[ Busy ... all right that makes sense. If the war ended then it is likely they still had a lot of things to do and went different ways for a bit. ] What about Martel? [ Yes that question had to come up. But he smiles brightly at the fact that he makes friends with another half-elf. One close to his age too! ] Really? I'm happy to hear that. I never thought I would make a friend my age.

[fe_male]

I don't like people to know I can do it. I like to be underestimated, and illiteracy has a good edge on that respect. [ Conspiratorially. His good mood is honestly back now, instead of just pretending to be. Mercurial! Yay! ] Not here there aren't, unless someone just starts to want playing a joke on me. Back home. Biographies and shit.

Autocorrect oh no why...

[inthejunk]

[Since when are there different kinds?

He just assumes she's exaggerating, since she doesn't react. Oh, well. It's probably for the best. He's not sure he wants a girl to know what he's usually thinking about anyway.]

How's that working out for you?

[motherofnemesis]

[ She laughs a little bit at that, because good moods are slightly infectious to her and she likes them. ] Yeah, I guess it would. Oh, they can't read, we've got them.

Aren't you pretty young to have biographies written about you already?

[fe_male]

Exactly. What people forget is that barbarians have a d12 hit die instead to make up for it. Checks and balances.

[ This pie is actually not that bad. ] Apparently not. I've packed a lot of life in, I guess. Either that or there's just not enough interesting people to write biographies about. Or it's just easy to find all the information.

[flamberge]

[A nod of approval comes from Kratos' end. Nicely done, student.]

Good.

[He walks over to the horse and adjusts the stirrups to be more suitable for Mithos' height.]

Now onto posture. It is important to sit with a straight back and shoulders back. Your legs should be bent, with the heels down and toes pointed forward.

[motherofnemesis]

And broadswords and clubs. Can't forget those.

[ It really isn't. She's kind of impressed. ] Are they at least well written?

[pixieboots]

[ It shouldn't have made him smile, not hearing that, not now. But the quirk to his expression is there before he can duck his head fast enough to hide it. ]

No. I-

-Yeah. Okay. I kinda know what you mean.

[ And there's another space there that needs filling in. He drops his eyes again and forces out a small breath. ]

...The costume isn't too bad.

[fe_male]

Barbarians actually tend to do better with greatswords and two-headed battle axes, given their usual strength modifiers, but hey, if you want to play a dex-based barbarian, no one's stopping you.

[ He snorts. ] Some of them are fine. Some get things wrong.

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Oh, good, that makes things easier. :D ] Right. Sometimes they sort of help your parents look after you.

[The paladin thing, he understands a little more. Some worlds might not have the Holy Light, or other religions that utilize them. And he enjoys talking about it anyway, so.]

A paladin is...it's sort of like a religious warrior. He uses divine power to fight for justice.

[motherofnemesis]

It's been like - [ a decade, of course ] ten years since I played at all, I barely remember the advantages of dexterity versus strength.

So pretty hit and miss. What are they going to do when you keep doing stuff, stick out second editions? Now edited to include his daring exploits in alien invasion number three.

[fe_male]

There aren't many for a barbarian without the right feats.

[ I enjoy that they both effectively went, 'Well, I have no political skills whatsoever. Fuck the mission, let's go eat.' ] Uh, basically. There's another one every few years anyway, it's a rolling progression. I mean, half the shit's on wikipedia anyway so I don't quite get the point of paying for it, but I guess it's decent bathroom reading after you've finished the crossword.

keke

[acemedium]

[Since always. And that may be the best]

Pretty good! I just need to find a waterfall.

What are you up to? Aside from, you know... [Gestures to his injuries]

[acemedium]

I'm not kicking too hard! I'm just kicking with gusto! The horsey isn't going to listen if it's half-hearted, right? [This is apparently her logic. That and saying "yeehaw" will somehow hearten the horse]

We need a lassoo or something.

[direhit]

[PLEASE. If you're a princess, you should flaunt it.

That's her logic anyways.]

Hmm. I've never given it too much thought to be honest. I think it's just government that passes laws. So... I guess like a republic?

[inthejunk]

...What's the waterfall for?

[motherofnemesis]

I wonder if they've got a copy of Dungeons and Dragons around Exsilium somewhere. Maybe we could start a group.

[ She thought long and hard about using her empathy to help the Initiative who am I kidding her thought process there was 'yeah no fuck that' without even a brief 'Should I' on the front of it. Also just squinting. ] I get that you're interesting, but do they really find you that interesting? Every few years?
