Violet is cool. She is Basheer's rival. They need to have a rap battle on the topic of suffering and 'why?'

It has been established what Murmur has been doing (he's still alive), but Basheer remains unaccounted for. And not by a lack of me pestering you to ask what you wanted to do with the bloke, I must've asked like two or three times -_-

Edit: Ah, you're talking about that post way back, without clicking the link I'd assumed you meant when the Celestial Citadel was later assaulted. Presumably they would have been there under Ventus; IIRC Murmur was in that collab The Tempest which took place immediately before the post you linked, so it'd make sense for him to still be with Ventus a short while longer when they attacked the storm djinn.

@Cyclone

Yeah, Basheer was in The Tempest too, so I guess it makes sense for him to have been at this second one also.
In a future post I'll canonise whether Basheer was there when the Citadel was assaulted or not,

@Cyclone As Basheer and Murmur are members of the Skywatch, I'm guessing they were at this engagement, right? roleplayerguild.com/posts/4033161
I'll probably go into what Basheer has been doing (he's only featured in that one Shaqmar post since), but he's definitely not been moping around in the Citadel xP

@Kho Except Niciel.

@Vec

She's probably done something sometime - go forth, Vec, and find out. We must embrace our dickedness!

In other news, what happened to Farxus? Is he still around? And damn, that Tome of the Forsaken is very powerful - every Cursed in existence!
And what is Sesh'Areit? Is it some kind of language Lazarus made? Don't remember coming across it before.

Edit: Ah, found it-

Name: Sesh'Areit
Description: A hard-to-translate enigma language, making use of minor curses and blessings, set up in precise and seemingly random patterns. Looking at the bigger picture, strange runes begin to form from the blessings and curses interlocked together. The runes themselves remain in a seemingly random order, however. Spiraling around, looping over each other, and overlapping.

Do you ever get that irresistible urge to be a dick to your own characters for no particular reason, especially those you kept innocent for no other reason than being a dick to them?

...No? Just me?

oh.

okay then.

@Antarctic Termite

Wait a second... irresistible urges... be a dick to your characters...

to be a dick v. to act in a manner displaying little or no concern for the feelings or well-being of others; to be harsh, cruel, pitiless...

The well-being of others - their life, limbs, health, being sheltered and fed etc.
Their feelings - their emotional state of mind etc.

*Looks at all our characters*

Shet. We're all dicks.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Antarctic Termite But... but why did Pumps die?

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Lauder... Just read Keriss' baby-killing episode. Fug.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

"Stand. There are people who need killing..."

Tauga

I like how she thinks. I really do.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

After reading this post [roleplayerguild.com/posts/3996075], the next time I'm hanging on for dear life I'll look heavenward and pray, 'oh bird, shit on me pls. If ever you should do it, do it now.' And so help me God, if that bird shits on me, I'll pull myself up and go home.

Edit: Frettzo, you deserve a medal xDD
Edit 2: Admittedly, the last line was very ominous.

Didn't Jacob wrestle with an angel? Not God?

@LokiLeo789

From Wikipedia:
'Jacob wrestling with the angel is an episode from Genesis (32:22-32; also referenced in Hosea 12:4). The account includes the renaming of Jacob as Israel (etymologized as "contends-with-God"). The "angel" in question is referred to as "man" (אִישׁ) in Genesis, while Hosea references an "angel" (מַלְאָךְ), but the episode is also often referenced as Jacob's "wrestling with God". ...
The interpretation that "Jacob wrestled with God" (glossed in the name Isra-'el) is common in Protestant theology, endorsed by both Martin Luther and John Calvin (although Calvin believed the event was "only a vision"), as well as later writers such as Joseph Barker (1854) or Peter L. Berger (2014). Other commentaries treat the expression of Jacob's having seen "God face to face" as referencing the Angel of the Lord as the "Face of God".

The proximity of the terms "man" and "God" in the text in some Christian commentaries has also been taken as suggestive of a Christophany: J. Douglas MacMillan (1991) suggests that the angel with whom Jacob wrestles is a "pre-incarnation appearance of Christ in the form of a man."

According to one Christian commentary of the Bible incident described, "Jacob said, 'I saw God face to face'. Jacob's remark does not necessarily mean that the 'man' with whom he wrestled is God. Rather, as with other, similar statements, when one saw the 'angel of the Lord,' it was appropriate to claim to have seen the face of God."'

She might come upon them by chance on her way home, and she has every reason to fight them, though I'd rather she bonds with her piece of Sertz before that. Plotwise it would definitely give her a fantastic opportunity to sign up with the Knight Protectors.

@Antarctic Termite

Huzzah! Someone finally comes for Sertz!
_{who're the Knight Protectors? I was kidding about not knowing who Tira is, but I actually dunno who these guys are.}

<Snipped quote by Kho>

We have spoken of Boreas in the past; he’s a character I’ long wanted to explore but lacked opportunity to do so. But yes, he’s a pretty old djinni that’s probably been the head honcho up north for centuries.

@Cyclone

Isn't he the guy who thought he ruled the North but couldn't even get to the top of the Solitary Mount? XPP
