Kirina: *flys through, hitting the wall next to you*
*sits up, rubbing my head*
Ow...
Whoa! *Makes a move to catch you, but isn't quite quick enough. Winces when you hit the wall.* Yikes.... I should have been a bit better prepared for that. *Crouches down with a concered look.* Are you hurt?
Not a bad idea, but its not really anyones fault that Im missing posts.
You shouldnt have to expect me to miss your posts. I feel absolutely horrible about that.
I will strive to be better.
Not saying it is, I just feel like it would help things along while you work on double checking. I'm thinking I could link any post not responded to within about four hours of time, that way it wouldn't be an entire few days before someone brings it up.
If I somewhat expect it it won't annoy me much if at all. And don't feel bad about it, it's just what happens.
<Snipped quote by Stabby> Kirina: *follows through the portal*
*For a moment it feels like you're being shuffled around a lot, and then the string goes taunt, pulling you through into a hallway. I'm standing next to what appears to be an apartment door, fiddling with my keys while keeping an eye on the portal.*
At this point I just half expect it. Would it be helpful if I provided links like this more often? And I don't just mean for my posts, but for others as well.
Looking around after they had found a nice spot on a larger part of the tree's branches, Nira was glad to see that they could see more of the activity within the forest. Even the lower branches of this tree were of a reassuring hight off the ground when compared to other trees, at least enough so as to provide some sense of safety.
But looking over at their, -well, Femus's actually-, old hideout, Nira couldn't help but be reminded that safety was still a relatively short lived thing should something change. Taking note of several surrounding details, she continued to feel unnerved by the presence the tree was giving off even though nothing had seemingly happened yet after touching down upon it's apparently warm branches. Though she could take this as a sign that things were ok, she decided to make a mental note to experiment with new skills someplace else just in case.
"Alright. We finally have a safer place to get this done." Femus said softly with a sigh of relief before speaking seriously. Listening in on the rest of what he had to say, she was both left with several questions and several insights. The knowledge he had shared was something she was grateful for, both because it ment that the system could be interacted with, and because it ment he trusted her somewhat. Though she hadn't realized it until now, Nira trusted him somewhat too. He'd been both reliable and forthright so far, and those were exactly the kind of qualities that made someone a good ally.
Smiling as she responded, Nira brushed her hair aside again after a nod. "Alright. I'm going to duck out of the tree for a short moment to try making a ranged skill, or something, and then I'll be back. Last thing we need is something getting pissed because the tree got damaged."
Hopping down to a relatively safe looking spot of the ground on the opposite side of the tree, Nira again tried to replicate Femus's mana orb skill from what little memory she had of seeing it in action. Focusing on the memory, she drew out her mana and tried to compact it until it felt stable. Having a momentary flash to every game she has played, she spoke a few words on instinct.
"Mana compact, into a ranged attack."
Aiming at the ground away from the old tree she'd just come down from, Nira released the orb and hopped back into the air regardless of what happened. Grabbing a blue yill before returning to where Femus was, she kept an eye out for any trouble until she knew he was done with the evolution.
Ah. Not bad, but thankfully Flicker can eat regular food.
Best I can describe it, she consumes the concept of the food she eats and the actual matter just reverts into its basic atomic elements before dispersing and scattering elsewhere within the dimension.
Ie. If she takes a bite out of an apple, the conceptual structure that makes it recognizable as part of an apple is eaten. And the matter that was tied to that concept loses it's structural identity, separating and scattering like dust throughout the dimension due to the process of consuming the concept.
...
There is something that might be closer to the memeovore's description though.
Thanks. Flicker actually uses non-dimensional space to travel, so there has to be some concept of relative location to go by. Also I'm actually surprised at how well my understanding of the concept has aged now that I've revisited explaining it.
