RE: [Fortuna]: 10/23 Verbally sweats
Sorry Athena sometimes weird stuff just flops out of our mouth. Sorry Helios also.

Do we want Cea in the party? Cause if we don't want him around we may want to give him a therapy session on the ship. His sanity is at -90.

Let's have Slate go to the party. He can Sanity swap with one of the guests and be right as rain.

>Slate, and Cleo if possible.

Let's take the music box, the magnet and some throwing knives, but keep the rest of our inventory empty.

I imagine it's a detailed marker drawing.

Edit: Oh wait, is Latta gonna head to the party on the pterodactyl? That'd mean we'd only be able to pick one crewmember. I guess we shouldn't send Slate if that's the case, since that would leave us unable to talk with people. In that case I guess I'd go with edel since the rest of the crew is in kinda bad shape.

Cleo and Marble are both hurt so they should stay. Cea probably wants to come, but we should pick someone who hasn't had much screen time yet. Edel is needed on the ship (to look after Cleo and to annoy Cea), so let's pick Slate.

Hmm, I guess that even if we had Cleo or Edel with us, Latta would still be the face of the party, seeing as she's got better charisma and intelligence than both. I guess I'm picking Slate in both cases.

I guess we should have him take the magnet, and perhaps a notepad to communicate with but leave the rest of his inventory open for loot. Slate's got pyromancy even if he's not great at it. He probably doens't need weapons.

all cards on the table, athena may be the huge fan, maybe not. either way it seems helios would rather die than let athena know what I wrote on that note. so maybe he has feelings. in any case just address this and get it over with.

Whoops! Why did I think it was Nike that did that? XD

Anyways, seconding the Magnet+Notepad for inventory, but I want to say that *some* sort of weapon would be better than just weak pyrokinesis? Maybe something that only takes up 1 space? Do we have anything like that?

He could get one of the knives the other crew are carrying, or 4 throwing knives. Not sure if that'd be better than fire though.

I think you're underestimating Slate's pyrokinesis. He's apparently skilled enough with it and it's powerful enough to cook with. That means it should at least be good enough to deal some damage.

I know that back in the thread, we got got told that Slate was less good at pyromancy than Flint. We also know that pyromancy, as well as any kind of mancy, gets its power from strength and its duration from endurance. Slate's got two fives so he should be about average, but I don't really have a framework for what is average pyromancy.

There is a fortuna themed mafia game running in the mediawarks subforum, as well as two fortuna fanventures and fortuna itself.

Mafia game: O-okay...? I might be interested in checking that out.

Fanadventures: Oh~ Where can I find those? Are they good, and will they affect this adventure at any point? Have they already?

EDIT: Also, what's with the [???] that sends me to a Kitchen Nightmares excerpt on YouTube?

I don't know if you know this but this adventure is currently in a section of eagle time called Mediawarks!

Check out some of the topics on there and you'll find a bunch of Fortuna stuff that isn't this topic. The two other adventures are there as well as the mafia game. None of those things are likely to ever directly affect [Fortuna], but don't be surprised if a few of them have callbacks and callforwards! [You] in particular is based off the very canon system of self insertion in to Fortuna that was cut out of this adventure as it seemed it wouldn't add to the plot much.

That's all? You burned a paper because they made a mistaken comment? What is the big deal? It's only slightly embarrassing, but mostly for the co-player.


[Image: bou7seU.gif]

Slightly embarrassing.


[Image: chV1oYZ.gif]

Yes! You are repeating what I said. Co-player, I told you there is no shipping allowed here, with me. Feel free to ship anyone else. We already know that Helios and Eris are "soul mates". If one of them wasn't missing their soul!



[Image: gErYytf.gif]

Please don't call us soul mates.



[Image: chV1oYZ.gif]

Those are her words, not mine! Says it in big bold text over her wall.



[Image: gErYytf.gif]

Please tear down that wall.


[Image: chV1oYZ.gif]

I did once! Then she got legal papers and made me build her a wall. I can't deny a proper legal request so I built her a new wall. I had to draw smiles on some of the images while she watched, it was humiliating!


[Image: gErYytf.gif]

Why did she make you do that?


[Image: chV1oYZ.gif]

I don't know! It's Eris, patron! She makes no sense, apparently she only has pictures of you being bored, lukewarm, confused, slightly angry, sad, emotionless, with no face, or this expression that I have come to dub the "Helios face" where your mouth is ever so slightly tilted, and your eyebrows almost in a disappointed position but aren't quite there yet. If she wanted pictures of you smiling why doesn't she just take them?

That is fine, no one cares, just never get me confused with Eris ever again! Ever.
