Current @SaltSight Game was Astlibra: Revision. Found it on sale bundled with another game I've been wanting so I gave it a shot and got like, straight indie JRPG of the early 2000s injected into my veins.

Hate that strange ennui that hits after 100%'ing a really, really good game. Good time was had, but man am I glad it can't mess my sleep schedule up anymore.

Final Fantasy: Stranger in Paradise is the funniest shit I've ever seen while also not being a bad game. Just crack open some cold ones with the boys, blare Limp Bizket, and Kill Chaos.

While it was clear from the start that this was hopelessly out of Liliana's range of understanding, the fairy at least nodded while listening. Okay. Book magic make pages go flip flap. Got it. Pale lady can write on leaves with her fighting spirit to make the pages fear her to turn. Made sense. Pages were lightweight, so she could bully them easily. She had to break up her fighting spirit with its wife, but she's apparently used to this because she can think of lines if she works out a lot.

Man, this wizard stuff was a lot easier than Liliana thought!

But wait...why was she talking about noise now? What happened to Fighting Spirit's wife? Will they get back together? Why were graveyards crowded? Did people work out there a lot? How do you free an egg from a body?

Liliana would look at the page's inscription, nodding wide-eyed. It was all so clear! Skeletons worked out in graveyards because they weren't ground into bonemeal to feed the plants, so they use calcium to get stronger to beat up Fighting Spirit because he left his wife! It was all so simple now!

"Wow! It felt really complicated, but I think I understand it," Liliana said, unaware that in reality she didn't understand a single goddamn word the girl had said in the slightest. "Wizards have it rough...I can't imagine having to do all that to open a book. I just sorta wave my sword and magic happens," the fairy knight said, reaching behind her and peacefully holding her sword for Io to see. A blade which, by all accounts to the lich, was so suffuse with chaotic and primal magical energy that it was a wonder it hadn't blown up when it was made. "Do they make those spirit decoupling book page things in fairy size? Some of my sisters back at home only like books if they can flip through them really fast..."
Been thinking of making a second character, so I wanted to ask: Are Firearms a thing in the setting? I was thinking of something like a rudimentary bolt-action rifle.
Sorry for not posting for a while there!

Given that Liliana wasn't quite used to the debriefing process of the land, she was glad that Shizuka was around to handle that. She'd just head off to find a place to rest, while wondering what was up with the earlier sight of the Mad Hatter Liliana had arrived with being chased by two men, one on horseback...Shizuka didn't seem worried, so she had to assume that things were under control at the very least. She'd check up on her later...for now, she needed rest. She'd shifted to a much smaller size to conserve energy, back to her "true" size.

While it was disheartening to be viewed as a man-eating Monster when she was like...as big as a kitten, Liliana would just turn the other cheek and let them eat their own words later. After all, a Knight had to maintain some manner of dignity, even if she really felt like making those two apologize for gossiping really loud after her and Shizuka just risked their necks to save them from...some white powder stuff that made humans act funny. Whatever it was called again!

The face of the girl before her was one she wasn't familiar with, which wasn't surprising since the fairy had interacted with...like, three people outside of Shizuka thus far. Floating over to the girl, busy with her book, Liliana would peek over the edge of Io's grimoire, watching in awe as it flipped to and fro. "Woah...how's your book doing that? Is it magic? Are you a wizard!?" Liliana asked, eyes sparkling. While she was used to her queen using magic, she'd never encountered an actual, proper, "hide-in-a-tower-and-grow-a-six-foot-beard" wizard! Even if Liliana could cast magic with her sword, it wasn't really HER casting the spell. It was more the sword doing it than anything. Maybe this girl had a book like that, and that was why it was flipping around so much.

Even if the fairy was tired, her race was ever-curious.
Alice looked smug as hell after melting that lock, heading on in with her party to find and defeat whatever evil necromancer had resurrected and (very very distantly indirectly) caused the re-death of her friend! Sofia would also be fearfully clinging to Alice from behind, seeming very concerned that she'd wind up seeing a ghost.

Much like Brandy, Alice would start sneezing up a storm from the amount of dust, while Sofia was fine since she was kind of already too dead to have snot. As such, the undead would watch in horror as Brandy recovered and proceeded to not respect a single speck of dead dust in the entire crypt, sneezing over everything while Alice at least covered her nose with her hands. Sofia would rub her temple, saying: "No good necromancer would possibly just sit inside a crypt this small. So..." the revenant would look around, before confidently pointing at one of the sarcophagi, shouting: "There!"

The ornate sarcophagus was devoid of dust, rather conspicuous in a place that looked to never have been opened since tis inhabitants were put inside, the Revenant confidently sliding the lid off to reveal a set of stairs leading further downward. "Nice...n-nice ja...jahaaa..." Alice struggled to say, before letting out the loudest sneeze yet. "...Nice job, Sofia," Alice said before dashing down, urging the others to follow after her, with Sofia soon realizing they could have just gone home if she had kept quiet about the secret entrance.

Running down the stairs, Alice's undead-energy-detector would start detecting more...likely due to them reaching the same vertical height as the necromancer.

HYIEH!? Cordelia questioned, letting out an ungodly noise before realizing that it was one of her classmates. Then, realizing that she just made a noise like a pig being kicked, would promptly flush red in the face before sliding the door open for her classmate.

Off in the distance, it would be hard not to hear Samson busting his gut laughing. "What kind of noise was that!? Hiyeeeh!?" Samson said, more than ready to bust his Master's balls for the rest of the month. His Master, in the meantime would hurriedly bow her head to Michel, before dashing inside. "I-I'm very sorry about that!" she said, holding the door open to let him inside. She also looked like she really wanted to die, and would probably be very easily blackmailed.

Such was the life of a walking mess of a girl.
I probably should have asked this a lot sooner, but are we allowed to post multiple times per post cycle? Within reason?

With a bolt of lightning from her intrepid swordsman friend and a cataclysmic chain reaction of boom-to-boom-to-kaboom, the two were soon home free. And, Liliana had to admit...that scream from Fatal Pulse? That was worth the hassle of this whole adventure. Still, she did take some offense to the worry about endangering a REAL cow. "Should clarify for you and all the Varjans watching: No cows were harmed in the making of these summons. They just sorta go poof after a while," the fairy knight said, skedaddling through the air as the fires atop the Varjan ships lit up the ocean.

Liliana would return Shizuka's smirk with a mischievous grin, saying: "This is amazing...all the younger fairies used to get scolded for pranking humans. But these Varjans...you can prank them and fight them as much as you want and its a good thing to do! Thank you for coming to my rescue a bunch of times by the way." Liliana wasn't totally ignorant, and would give Shizuka a knowing smile as he mentioned that she could go off and do more quests if she liked. "Honestly? I've had enough adventure for one day. So, let's head back to town. I'll report all this to...uh..." Shizuka could visibly see the elipses coming in, dot-by-dot above Liliana's head before she tilted it. "...What does Takeshi look like exactly? I think I ran off before I saw him..."

Despite his ride's confusion, Shizuka would find himself on solid ground soon enough, with the Fairy Knight saying: "Next time, I'll be more careful about not taking on stuff like this alone...I don't think I'd have made it out in one piece if you hadn't shown up. So...rest up, and thanks!" Waving goodbye, the fairy would take off and attempt to find the familiar face of Ayu, since to her, basically any male human might as well be Takeshi. She'd have a hell of a story to tell, and would probably leave out the part with her getting trapped in a box. ...And the two cows.
@Anza

I'm glad things are getting better for you at the very least.
Looking up at the mausoleum, Alice would sniff the air a bit, before eyeing the lock. So, in order to "help" Vincent with his problems, they'd have to destroy property...or find some way to pick the lock. Because there sure as shit wasn't any way they were going to actually get Vincent's help to solve the problem they'd been called out for.

Sofia would chuckle at Brandy's idea. "While I AM skilled, I don't think that works as well as it does in adventure novels. Besides," Sofia would draw an arrow and show the head's size compared to the hole. It was far too girthy, thick, not to mention hard to get inside. Sofia tapped it a few times to make sure Brandy got it, that shaft wasn't making it inside that hole in any capacity. "Though...I am at a loss for how to get inside now. While Alice could likely blow it open, that would no doubt catch that gravekeeper's attention...

Alice was already working on it, humming softly as she brewed something in her alchemical oven. "Little bit of Aluminum~! Wan! A strip of magnesium~! Wan! And to top it all off~" Alice sang, getting up with a set of protective goggles on and scraping a large amount of rust from the chains and padlock, gathering them in a piece of paper until they piled high. "Iron Oxide~! Wan!" she sang, before the fucking light of GOD itself manifested in the ceramic oven container, a menacing glow bathing Alice in an orange light while Sofia recoiled. "What IS that!?"

Alice would be handling it with gargantuan oven mitts and as much caution was due of literal lava. "A special tool to help us get inside! Thermite!" Alice said excitedly, before getting around to silently melting the chains and lock. Much safer and quieter than a bomb.

Sofia stared in abject horror as Alice committed to her property damage, astonished that such a mild-mannered bookish person was so eager to literally make magma.

Alice would say: "By the way, don't touch this. Don't even touch the stuff it touched. It'll be crazy hot." In all likelihood, that warning was meant exclusively for Brandy.
