Derrick works his way along the yarn, surprisingly he does quite well.

lucia: Have Ira turn into an iron velvet throne, becoming heavier to support the others weight, sit on velvet throne and strike a sassy pose for when the others come back

Lucia: There you are. Took you long enough.
Lucia: It's bad to keep a girl waiting you know~
Ira: uhh...
Ira: guys? what are you doing up there?
Ira: the upholstery is very delicate...
Ira: (please don't stain it)

Lexii:wanna make out some more?
Lucia: fuck yeah

spaghettiShow

You head down to the kitchen to make something to eat, but there appears to be food being made on the stove already!

Derrick: Punch food to establish superiority.


You decide to stare down the pots of food.

Look at them shake, and sweat down their stainless steel sides. Dominance established.



Not even you can ignore the fact that these pots didn't set themselves up.

Regardless of having your home locked and secure, you still feel like you're not alone.

Derrick: YOU HAVE A SISTER DUMPASS.



You rationalize for a minute. Gramps is gone and won't be back for a week and a few days. No one was inside when you locked up, but there is food on the stove.
This could mean that either you are dreaming or someone has secretly always been inside...

You're almost too scared to knock, buuuut you do anyway.

No answer. Her room has been locked ever since your sister moved out years ago. You don't have the key to this room, either.

Derrick: Hide in the pantry until whoever set up the pots returns to the kitchen.




You head to the pantry and wait for whoever set the pots down to begin with.

Will you wait it out to see who appears or be someone else?

Derrick: stop being a pussy ass coward, get out there and confront whoever is making that spaghetti, BE A MAN DAMMIT

SpoilerShow

Derrick: Um...
Emily: !
Derrick: who are you and what the fuck are you doing in my house?
Emily: oh! I uh...
Emily: M-my name is Emily
Emily: and well... I wanted to make something special for you, so Lucas hooked me up to come here to make you lunch! o///o
Emily: Didn't he tell you I was coming?
Derrick: No, he hadn't told me anything... weird
Emily: how odd, maybe he wanted it to be a surprise?
Emily: also, your door was already unlocked when i came, i thought you were expecting me
Derrick: really? i swear i had locked it, strange...
Derrick: why didn't you tell me anything though?
Emily: because... well...

SpoilerShow

Emily: ...i'm shy
Derrick:oh
Derrick: well, since you're here and the spaghetti is ready, we might as well right?, get to know eachother
Derrick:next time though, do tell me
Derrick:i'll let it slide this time, since you didn't mean any harm
Derrick:it's been so long since someone did something nice for me... I really apreciate it, thank you Emily
Emily: :D

If you're wondering who the guy from the second one is, that's SC from Lylac's INTERVENE, you should totally check it out!






Emily diver set



I tried to make an emily pangolin scale armor set, but instead this came out

> We should try to communicate with Lethos from near the outpost so if something goes wrong and we get attacked, we can retreat to the outpost. If we can some how bunker down within the outpost while projecting an image out of it to communicate with Lethos, that'd be even better.

So. Guess who JUST got told that these forums exist, and found out, oh hey! Not everyone is gone after all!

...and is also now over half a year of updates behind. God dangit. :|

(Hi again everyone!)

No, but I've never been able to get Discord to work properly. Might be my computer.

Gonna have to catch up before I can participate again. That may take a while; I don't even remember who was and wasn't able to directly talk to us, or what several of our long term goals were. Argh.

Reggie: Check Lethos' stats and the stat of his minions



Reggie checks out Lethos' stats along with the flying minions around its' head.

Reggie: ovo"
Derrick: What do you see, Reggie?
Reggie: Well, all I can say is I'm glad we're not trying to fight it.

Ghen: Check this place out...
Kira: Ew... Look at the spidery ass corner.
Ghen: We're gunna need to warn them before they come down here.
Ghen: Before they get heart attacks across the party.
Kira: Hah... Right.

>Ghen & Kira: check spidery ass corner for gaint spiders, and give the guard a pleasant hello

getting fancy with my commands to see what'd happen

I'm thinking back to the others we know the intelligence stat for, and their behaviors and displayed intelligence, and it doesn't seem to scale very well. Like, in our party as a whole I don't recall anyone having an int over 200, possibly 100. Ruu's 35 or so is described and displayed as childlike. Zendo has 1250, I think. What does an intelligence of 3000 even mean?

(I am willing to edit this post if anyone contradicts my numbers with citations.)

>Ghen: ask the guardian if there's anything you guys should know/it wants to tell you before you bring over the rest of the party and it's gotta stick to the answers-for-correct-answers rule.

The numbers are abitrary, so you shouldn't look into it too hard, but at a level this high Lethos can use telekenesis and mind tricks as well as quite knowledgeable giving insight to its age in the dream world

Lethos is ancient force sensitive, confirmed. We must introduce it to the proper philosophy!

Emotion, yet peace.
Ignorance, yet knowledge.
Passion, yet serenity.
Chaos, yet harmony.
Death, yet the Force.

OK, now I'm REALLY glad we're not fighting it :|

Lucia: What's down there?
Itamie: Uhh... The outpost of this region.
Itamie: Be prepared for what you'll see. The guard is a large collection of spiders.
Lucia: ...S..
Lucia: Spiders??
Itamie: Yes. Spiders.
Itamie: Many, many spiders.
Itamie: ... Too many, if I may comment...
Derrick: Uhm...
Itamie: I'm warning you out of decency.
Lucia: I'm sure it's not... That bad.
Itamie: If you say so.
Itamie: May I give my opinion, though?
Lucia: Sure.
Itamie: I don't think you can handle it.

Lucia: I want to leave right now...
GGG: I see I have startled the Maid.
GGG: Shall I grant comfort?
Lucia: NO.
GGG: Oh dear.
GGG: My channels have expressed you all to be in league with Lomam's guardians and therefore have free passage. Enjoy your stay.

>Derrick: remember when Lucia comforted you after the freakout in your room, maybe you should remember what bambino said and try to be more sensitive about how other's feel, give her a hug to calm down. Check on Emily and Itamie while you're at it.


Hugs are nice.

Inb4 it turns into a group hug and the spiders join in too.

Alternatively:

>Derrick: It's been a while, maybe you should read Tales of the Abyss just to see what it says? Also, what exactly is this guardian's trial anyways?

>Derrick: Lucia's freaking out pretty hard. Give her a hug to help her cool down.

>Emily: Contact Lexii and Garry and ask them to come over, if you don't have a communication device ask Derrick or Lucia, don't forget to unlock the door to the DV outpost so they can get here faster.

That was amusing X)

just so it's a x combo about hug + hopefully Derrick growing up a bit.
