Return to the Multiverse

I will be posting more often starting next week. This is already a collaborative effort, so why commandeer it if you already have the power to advance it? What people are mostly waiting on from me now is a response to character interaction. Just bring the First Age into alignment with Cynosure if you want advancement now. I'm surprised nobody's done it already. I feel like people are still in the mindset of depending on the GM for advancement despite my insisting that IC, I have no more power than you guys. I can't do that, which is why I relinquished that power and spread it among everyone.

@Kalamadea

Because we can't go on a mission to Mordor if the NPC/GMPC/I dunno in charge of handing out missions hasn't told us what we need to do in the first place. And in the second place, we weren't waiting on that; we were waiting specifically on Samus.

Return to the Multiverse

Okuu's and Cirno's players are waiting directly on you off the top of my head, and more of us are waiting on them; you're creating a conga line of bogging down your own game. Instead of posting apologies and explanations and promises to post more often, you should have just posted IC with the time you had. I've seen too many games die because the GM can't set aside thirty minutes to read up a page or two and then type up a quick post. If you're not posting IC again by the time I get home from work, I'm commandeering the game. At this rate, it's going to die if I don't.

I actually already do have a plan to leave eventually. But out of curiosity, Vita, what was your plan to bust Guts out of the Warp?

Massive Multiversal Crossover

And it looks like I was mistaken, need a post from the Imperial Guard before I can continue the whole girl from a metal coffin with the embodiment of a middle schooler's emotions and thoughts, a vampire, and a nature goddess scene. ... That is a weird situation. For now I'm still trying to decide Kiyomi's entrance. I have an option with the whole giant thing's stomach but apparently that's in the Warp? I'm kind of hesitant to put her there given what I know about the Warp.

@VitaVitaAR

I know a lot about the Warp and I hopped in anyways. You gotta go balls out.

Massive Multiversal Crossover

Welp that's great I was ignored, time to find some other action spot to hop into. Is it only the RE people doing stuff right now?

@Alternax

In terms of action? The SE group in RE is doing RE stuff. Guts is stuck in the Warp. I think everyone else is like talking or going to restaurants or something.

Massive Multiversal Crossover

It seems that Guts is currently literally in the belly of the whale. One that's filled with acid, corpses, and space stations. I guess you can insert your magical girl as another unfortunate teleported person trapped there with him.

@Earnest Evans

It's certainly roomy enough for a second. Also it smells bad and there's gross stuff everywhere.

Guts - Leviathan's Belly Of all the creatures inhabiting the leviathan's belly, the legged shark packs were arguably the most fearsome and noble. Wild predators unbound by things like anatomical constraints, these were an apex predator to be reckoned with. This particular pack of four was adept at hunting down lost wanderers who found themselves trapped in this infernal sack; their leader bore a scar over his eye. One's face fell in half down the middle as Guts dropped down, chopping the beast into a pair of oversized fillets. Their pack leader defeated, the remaining three leaped in for a three pronged attack, only to have a horizontal swing slice their jaws and torsos in twain. Guts speared a half, and toted it back to the fire he'd built out of planks ripped from some boat called the Mary something or other. The Black Swordsman licked his lips as juices and grease ran down, searing the flames. The Brand was going off like crazy nonstop, but he was pretty sure that wasn't demons so much as this entire dimension in general. On the other hand, he was curious as to what other salvage he'd find. At the very least, he'd eat this shark before staging his escape.

And I thought I 'bastardizing' the Genesis bible resulted in a big war...

@Lmpkio

Bastardizing doesn't go in quotes when you actually bastardize the source material.

weird words, weird meanings. not worth my time.

@Mtntopview

It's not hard. Yggdrasil is, literally translated, World-Tree. It is a tree that connects every world. It has to get its food from somewhere, right? So wherever it gets its food is probably magical as well, right? So, Odin goes out in search of where Yggdrasil gets its water, and finds that a frost giant named Mimir has already taken it. Mimir, also looking for power and made intelligent by drinking from the magical spring Yggdrasil feeds from, decides to bargain with Odin. Since he's already super-intelligent, he decides he wants to be super-aware too, and so he takes Odin's godly eye in exchange for access to his magical spring, so that he can see as well as a god can. The story of how Odin learned runics is equally as simple. When you sacrifice to something, you get their blessing, right? The better the sacrifice, the better the blessing. Well, Odin decides he's going to sacrifice to Yggdrasil, since that's basically the strongest living thing in the universe by default. Since Yggdrasil is so powerful, it needs a very good sacrifice. So, of course, Odin sacrifices himself. Since a god is a spectacularly valuable sacrifice, Yggdrasil gives Odin his blessing. Since Odin is a god, he survives sacrificing himself and manages to take Yggdrasil's blessing without further troubles. It's all very materialistic and simple, once you get past the names. Even the names are simple, if you know the basics of Old Norse. Óðinn, for example, translates to "The Furious One", which befits his status as the god of war.

@Mtntopview

That quote's pretty invalid when the Force was used to blow up the Death Star and Darth Vader was defeated via lightsaber.

whatever, bunch-a weird mumbo jumbo to me

@Mtntopview

Not my fault you can't understand the second-most straightforward mythology in the world. The Norse were a very "practical" people.

@Mtntopview

You're having a guy explain it in the simplest way possible and you still can't understand?
