She's beginning to believe
>>155184914website background changed too
>>155184914I don't 100% understand what's going on here, she's grabbing aspects from all over?
>>155184914>>155184928Do we think Miki inherited the coolness rule? I'd be expecting some devastating blow back around now were she Papa 1.
>>155184961Line scrying. She's entering the zone and seeing all the data.
>>155184961She is sensing all the aspects around her through the lines and feels edge being thrown her way so she can full ultra instinct and dodge/catch that shit
>>155184978Yes. Miki also must always look too cool.
>>155184978I think she has to. Even Lemuel kind of falls to that rule too more often than not. It's in the Adelier blood.
>>155184961Yeah, almost like Goodwin was, but with more precision. ... Hey is there a pymaraic eqyivalent to a DdoS attack?
>>155185012>>155185024Ahh gotcha, I'm sure I would've caught that reading straight through but I forgot about the line scrying stuff from months agoHe said coping
>>155185056>Hey is there a pymaraic eqyivalent to a DdoS attack?There was one in the salt lizard flashback, the rebel plats cast a bunch of shitty spells to drive up agitation and start a khert fire
>>155184914>>155184928Really cool effect today. Didn't know we were reading Gefendur scripture.>>155185073Besides this you could also argue what Goodwin did was similar. It doesn't take the khert down as casting hundreds of junk spells does, but it did prevent other wrights from accessing any local lines briefly.
>>155184914Thackeray is SHOOKeven Argenti Sr. is impressed>>155184928I feel the intensity of this page, beautiful
>both grinning that the other is keeping upI cannot believe I became a Goodwin fan.
>>155185055I think Lemon's coolness was permanently damaged by the reveal that he actually thought he was going to 1v1 god.
>>155185056>DdoS attackThat would be pretty much what a khert fire is.
>>155185099Argenti is even smiling. I bet he's never looked at Will that way before.
>>155184914Wow Miki, that's a lot of flips. Pretty risky to do when your clothes have been damaged from the fight. Your pants might fall down and blow your cover...
>>155184914Funny to see that even Daddy Argenti is impressed. Perhaps he even momentarily forgot about his political machinations and desire to see Will die.
>ten pages ago Argenti was salty about letting a woman do pymary like a fucking crescian>now he's maybe when this ssael plan back
>For one moment Argenti Sr. feels an emotion besides loathing for his son
>>155185116For me it wasn't that he intended to 1v1 Ssael (the concept was pretty cool), it was the insane, pathetic, and delusional way he thought he was going to achieve it which revealed he had zero real observational skills or common sense.
>>155185158Miki is like the son Argenti never had.
>>155185153>now he's maybe when this ssael plan backThis was suppose to be maybe we can run that ssael plan back. Duane was suppose to be a manufactured Vaosa
Will Impressed!Argenti Sr. shield Miki from the coppers when shit hits the fan soon?
>>155185197He's clearly going to be her poor romantic choice
>>155185110Same, I hope his heart doesn't pop from the exhertion and he becomes a regular
>>155185210Did you forget? That was obviously Lemuel. Argenti is going to be her new dad.
I think I'm falling for Duane's daughter and I've been trying hard not to. I know it's going to result in fucked-up father/daughter kink fantasies.
Mikaila will interact positively with Valentin.
>>155185210His libido is dim, dick is poor, his balls are knackered.
Lilleord is going to have some explaining to do when this is over.
>>155184928so uhh one of the books on the background is bound with human skin and the other inak
>>155185167>Hmmmm my bosses want me to become a martyr>Therefore I have been told to take all my subordinates and guards over here while I know my brother and niece are out by themselves>>Wtf Duane hecking DIED?!I know Lem has never been depicted as anything resembling smart but that was still embarrassing
>>155185110I don't think that's a grin that's more like a gritting of teeth
>>155185173but lemon is....
>>155185363Traditionally, Gefendur scripture is bound with human skin. I'm not sure about where inak skin is used.
>>155184914Still blows my mind that these guys are canonically always spelling out the exact coordinates of whatever they're casting on.
>>155184914Website version has a weird misaligned stitch for me.
>>155185363>khert differentiates between human skin and dead human skin>inak skin is just inak skin either wayguess that makes some sense
>>155185503It's true for all skin. Humans are the single exception.

>>155186639I was counting the minutes until someone made that joke
>>155184914I have no idea what’s going on here but I choose to believe the gold is piss. She’s peeing all over the khert.
>>155185167We don’t know who else was in on that plan. For all we know Lem has been SENET’D.
>>155186672She's line scrying like was shown to us before. This is one of the things she's particularly good at, so she's seeing everything in much higher fidelity than your average wright would. This is something plats are also very good at.>People tend to be more nervous of Plats than Mikaila is. She’ll talk about it later, but she feels a kinship with Plats because she, too, is obsessed with the khert-lines and intuits a consciousness there; a personality.The words everywhere are materials she's noticing, the numbers the coordinates for those materials. Potential avenues of attack. We're getting a glimpse of how pymary feels for her: sense what's around you, identify it and where it's located, and figure out what to do with it. If scrying is noticeable or taxing, she's also handling a huge amount of lines herself right now, and she's doing so well enough that it's allowing her to react to Goodwin's spells in time to dodge , catch, or throw them right back. Something that's by not easy to do.
>>155186493Can't believe we have this Shadow the Hedgehog tier crawling in my skin protagonist instead of our lovable wholesome old friend, Duane.
Who is gonna be the most pissed it they both shake hands in the end in sign of mutual respect?
>>155185210>Tree>Valentin>Goodwin>Lemuel>Argenti SrMiki sure gets around.
>>155184914Whats an "anteit vaosa"? Some sort of compliment i guess?
>>155186857Rousseau.
>>155186889Vaosa are the Ssaelit saints, equivalent to the Gefendur victori. It literally means "merciful saints". Basically saying something like my God, or damn.
>>155186889It's an exclamation. Calling upon the saints. Duane says it a lot.
>>155186889It’s like a “By the Saints!” We’ve seen Duane say it a lot.
I feel like Duane's upset at seeing Miki fight would be overriden in seeing how damn good she is right now.
>>155187061He'd still giver her shit for her core technique being sub par.
i hate this shitty ass comic so much.
I love this wonderful ass comic so much.
>>155187074Bros, is it gay to use spellburns?
>>155187115>shitty ass comicThe asses in this comic aren't shitty, they are clean and shiny.
>>155184914>If Mikaila were my son things would be different around here.
>>155187212Yes. Girls and child soldiers do it. Real men learn core technique.
>>155184928Not every day a plat meets somebody outside his caste that pushes him to his limits.
>>155187074Yeah well his fault for dying. Who else was going to teach her, Lemuel?
>>155184914Sorry guys, but who again is the guy Miki trains with? It is neither her dad or uncle, right? Some kind of lover?
>>155187496Ni Hao.If you mean "who is she fighting now", then it's not training, it's an actual duel, and the guy she is fighting is a gefender plat. If you mean who was she training with in the flashback we just saw, it's lemon. Her uncle. Duane's little brother. And the worst brother in the story, even worse than Jacaranda.Either way, she is shagging neither of them.Also, you should read the comic. It's good.
>>155187504I did read it, just didn't recognise lemon in the rtaining scene ith that pony-tail.
>>155184914beautiful
>>155185363Or it's a layer of dust
>>155184914>I wish she was my son instead of you, will
>>155184928So, if mikki and goodwin were to have children, would they end up as tacit casting gigaplats or juiced up golds with fucked up hearts?How does the aldish khert fuckery work with inter caste couples, especially when pissmops are involved?
>>155188120Gold + any other caste = other caste. They'd be tacit casting gigaplats.
>>155188120regular intercaste couples follow picrel, golds just get overwritten with whoever they banged
>>155184914Can't tell if Thackeray is impressed or shocked that someone listened.
>>155188099>they're really pushing the pymary to its limits>there could be collateral damage>will still could die
>>155184914Why is the floor made of scat?
>>155186857https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNj821535c
>>155188120>>155188206Still Plats, but with a non-zero chance to inherit the tacit casting gene, remember it skipped a generation and not every child gets it. I think in terms of breeding the Adeliers have that and big dicks, but IIRC the Coppers are primarily Gefendur so I doubt they could nab them to improve their Toadline Platties.This is also assuming inter-caste breeding isn't heavily stigmatized.
So Soud don't pass down their caste to their decendents? That clinches it. If Rousseau manages to see through her glamour and figures out she's tacit too, Mikaila is 100% going to wind up as breeding stock out at Husky Plat Farms.
>>155188248Scate. The duel is taking place in an ontological skating park, anon.

>>155188494Exotic plat litter MIKAILA x GOODWIN X4. EXTRA PORT + TACIT CASTING + SMASHED and SLAMMED!!!!!! Reserve yours now!!!
>>155187462>Yeah well his fault for dyingNo, that's also Lemuel's fault.
>>155189313Maybe if Duane was actually the best wright in centuries he'd be able to fight off the entire Crescian army with a Miki strapped to him.
>>155188206>there exists roving rape gangs of Bronze women who prey on vulnerable Jet men to max out their Bronze children’s lifespans
>>155189456Jet supremacy once again
I don't get the tactical advantage of casting Lion. Like, I get the pageantry, but seeing all this matter states and coordinate(?) readings, doesn't it imply that Mikaila has to do some kind of extensive calculations to manifest the cool background?Like, she is in the middle of breakdancing through the forest of spikes, how much mental throughput she can afford to waste on whatever?Or is she simply draining aspects from the surrounding? Like, if I understand correctly, Goodwin grabbing all the khert lines denied his opponent the ability to use them while he sends whatever pymary through them. Meanwhile, Mikaila could be wasting usable aspects from the surrounding on aurafarming so that Goodwin had nothing to fling at her, right?Although in this case, the plats range is wider than hers, so that's shooting herself in the foot.How much mental load does pymary requires? Like, it can't just be grab and fling, they have to specifically scry and decide which aspects to drain, complex illusions like that should also require some serious visualization. Is it even an illusion if Mikaila grabbed 'solid' aspects (but not color?)?
>>155188494>Bad end doujin
>>155189977She's just downloading reaction images off the khert and shitposts with them
>>155189977>>155190084I mean, it's a lot faster to say "cast le_shill_lion.gif at 34 evara from my left hand on my mark" than to describe every bezier curve for it's snout yourself
>>155188206Wait... why the gold racism then? If the argument against intercaste breeding is everyone becoming bronze - no one wants to be bronze - then golds are your society's stopgap measure in case a failed generation suddenly wants a cute silver girlfriend.Like, surely some copper would have noticed that increasing ssoud population may come in handy in the future, in case they need to increase a number of other castes? Surey, golds may object, but what do coppers care?
>>155189977It's basic Slight of Hand. Big showy thing where you aren't, do your thing while everyone's attention is diverted. She's setting up a suckerpunch.
>>155190141Because "normal" alds apparently feel each other via khert and you can never be sure if your soud friend hates your guts and wants to kill you or not, like you can for other ghersit
>>155190141>Wait... why the gold racism then?Their immunity to the Dhammakhert. They're basically Jews, Amish and that one guy in the office who doesn't even have a WhatsApp.
>>155190127Wait, normal casters have to literally direct spells with words? I thought they were saying something like "Dead human skin, 5 m/s, Rosseu."Meanwhile tacit casting allows Mikaila simply visualize and that's it? How the fuck wasn't Duane a Heavenly Wright, Equal to Ssail during the war? He can bury champs faster than they can say Frammagem.
>>155190235No, both have to put the spells into words, tell it what it has to do, which khert line to travel and so on — Miki can just do that in her head without speaking aloud. What I was referring to is so-called "spellburns" a packaged "spell program" you can activate with a much shorter phrase, but has an effect of a longer spell. They put those into the khert via the "khert hubs", but they only work in its vincinity, so you're hosed when you're somewhere you don't know how to invoke the spellburns (hence why Dwayne was all MUH CORE TECHNIQUE and it is generally more flexible). And things like real illusions (like the lion hologram, not Miki's misdirection as Lilleord) are so complex you can't really do them any other way.Also yes, Dwayne was a badass spellcaster (or at least as much as a non-plat can be).
>>155190203>>155190218No, I get why normal castes don't like golds. I'm asking, why eugenics minded coppers in their towers made from deformed designer plats don't see the obvious plan B in case normal alds don't want intrabreeding for a generation or two. I mean, plats would be the first to say they don't want their kids to live 20 years only and start seducing jets. If plats ever amass enough political power to enforce it for a decade or two before they die, Alderode may find itself with the shortage of minesweepers.Like, it sounds exactly like what old coppers who don't have to interact with icky ssouds are supposed to think about. Instead there are less golds than plats, and half of them are mmatont. I don't know, I feel like someone isn't pulling their weight in the Vits.
>>155190343>why do prejudices not make sense?I suppose it does make sense like a failsafe measure, but you can just invade and rape some Crescians while you're at it? No need for all those godless souds that give you an ick within your borders. But sure, that's just my assumption, not sure if we were told anything of the official line in that regard.
>>155190343>If plats ever amass enough political powerTrouble is, Plats don't live that long, all any political rival has to do is sandbag a dissident until they're dead, maybe interfere in how inheritances work so any capital they built up dies with them. Betcha that's why they had to etalarche Roger, as Coppers he and Vampire were dissidents that could last.
Feels relevant to people who read Unsounded: Tim Curry has died
>>155189977>casting LionThat's a statue, anon.
>>155190482I of course knew that!
>>155190218Souds are the anti-jews. You are referring to the ones who drain the life force from the rest. Literally feeding off the goyim.
>>155190343This is where clannish caste culture steps in to prevent cross-clan breeding. Let's say a plat fucks a jet to produce at longer lived bronze, but it's likely taboo to be caught birthing a bronze by one's fellow caste. They wouldn't be able to raise their foreign caste kid in their ghers anyway. Also plats are biologically nerfed to ever amass much political power because they're all dying by 30.
>>155190343>Instead there are less golds than plats, and half of them are mmatont.>I don't know, I feel like someone isn't pulling their weight in the Vits.I think Alds are important to dammakhert stability besides Etalarche control and someone is gaslighting the Vits to eliminate the soud constant and speedrun Alderode's destruction.
>>155190467Escaping to the one place uncorrupted by humanity.
>>155188206I am once again asking for the Ald Breeder Management Sim indie game.
>>155188206So Copper + Bronze produces Bronze but Copper + Silver produces Jet? That must be a weird fucking existence as a Jet, if you're the illegitimate child of some high-falutin' Copper to a Silver mistress or prostitute.
isn't highlighting all the khert lines around a good way to get your glamour exposed?
>>155190539Maybe, but there always unforeseen circumstances. Being short-lived doesn't prevent firebomb politics, as we had seen in recent chapters. There is already a dissenter movement by plats, Matty's mom wanted to arm with Uaids. (And her neighbors were very slow to tattle to the state).I mean, just recently, it would have taken one plat to bribe a ssoud Tanner to ambush some big-shot copper and whisper "You see that building full of explosives? That's where Roger Foi-Hellic's at".
>>155190789That's just a visualisation for all us non-squid people
>>155190811AUGH I'M ROGEEER FOIIII-HELLICKIIIING
>>155190343There's clearly something going on with the Coppers we don't know about.
>>155190816> us non-squid people> usSurface-worlders get out. This here is UNSOUNDED thread.
>>155190811Would it be in the Tannery's interest to take that job? How would it have impacted on the Soud? Would it have been "the Soud are valuable and should be protected, they wouldn't fall for this" or would it be "only an unnatural Soud could have executed such a plot, a true Aldishman would have felt the righteous hatred of Foi-Hellick in himself, we must get rid of the pissmops"?Part of being Copper is probably being cautious. You can't pull great levers without producing great reactions, so you should be absolutely sure of where the movement is going to go when you do.
>>155190836Isn't that just eating kussen for breakfast, though?
>>155190848Did you mean: unsouded?
>>155190885I don't know. Maybe they all get fed to a big flesh pit that used to be Rortide.
>>155190933>Dank Souls boss music playsKing Rortide, The First Dammakhert Hub
>>155190954Unsounded Soulslike would obviously take place in a disintegrating khert so you could visit all places and eras of Kasslynian history and be reincarnated fresh when you die. Risks getting dangerously meta with how programming-coded the khert and pymary already is though.
She's moving in close to distract him with a kiss on his fat nose, then blow him out of the arena, right?The audience will be thinking "Gaaaaayyyyy", but he can see her and he has a diamond hard erection for the next 72 hours.
>>155191035There are a lot weird parallels between Unsounded and Elden Ring. To the point that I'm pretty sure Ashley and Miyazaki/Martin draw inspiration from the same source.Could be Mobi Dick. I don't know how a story about a cripple hunting a whale can inspire such settings, though. Must be a great book.
>>155191387Why would Japanese read Mobbi Dikku, though? Their inborn hatred for whales or what?
>>155191370>but he can see her and he has a diamond hard erection for the next 72 hours.Crazy to think in this setting there's 100% a pymaric that has stored solidity aspect and transfers it to your dick.
>>155188737I demand the Chinese cartoon adaptation of Unsounded to retcon all pymary fights into skate-offs!
>>155191453I like how Ashley isn't afraid to show how if there was magic humans would use it to fuck. Glamours, solid wood aspects, distilled pain onaholes...Last time I've seen magic being even remotely used in such capacity was one of the DnD Drizzt novels, and there it was just a drow archmage using psyonics to send dickpicks to Drizzt's wife.
>>155191489Drow are always magitech in my games. I haven't forgotten about the OG.
Also I'm not a Drizzt enjoyer but if you wanted to write crossover fanfic Drizzt and Lemuel would be really funny.
>>155188377The Adelier line also tends to be born innate.>>155190811The non-soud could sense Roger's location. And whether the last plat was lying.>>155191453And it would do nothing to fix erectile dysfunction either. Oh, sure it'll make you rock hard. But you're still going to be soft while you're hard. Knowing Ashley, there's a solid chance erectile dysfunction doesn't exist in Kasslyne though. Ilganyag probably bred that out.
>>155191480Why are Alds not making combat khertline skates out of vliegeng wings, are they stupid?
>>155191871Would you rather ride a horse into battle or march into battle wearing shoes made of horse hooves? Alds want to fly into battle, and a single vliegeng can carry many Alds. But their wings made into shoes would only carry one. Plus there's already expensive ways to fly if you're rich enough, see Lemuel's boots.
>>155184928And they were brothers.
>Ashley was even into Mighty MaxDid we just have the same fucking childhood
>>155187212You're allowed to use them but only casuls use them if they can't /core/.
>>155187496That was Lemuel, and he doesn't teach her pymary (he can't do any). As far as we know, all of Miki's pymaric skill is entirely self-taught from her dad's books.
>>155184914Even Argenti Sr. is pleased.>>155184928That mutual-respect-between-opponents feeling is really like nothing else in life. Though usually without the danger of dying where I've experienced it.
>>155191452Moby Dick is a novel about the trade of whaling, the psychology of a working sailor before the mast, and the hopeless struggle of man against forces that are so far above him, they don't even notice him (and the absurdity of such a course of action). It's also a novel about whether or not men have free will at all, sometimes.And whale penis bones.
>>155193217She is the age of most elder 4chan users (late 30s to mid 40s is that range). So more or less.
>>155191551Drow are the machine elves Alex Jones talked about?
>>155191452Even if no one else did, Miyazaki (Fromsoft one, not the Ghibli one) explicitly had his entire take for fantasy inspired from reading western fantasy books when he didn't know enough english to understand more than half of it, leaving big gaps in his understanding of what the fuck was going on that he had to fill in himself from context and imagination. This is what Darksouls style storytelling emulates: having a whole bunch of pieces for an epic fantasy story that are there for the reading but not having the consistent throughline to wrap it together neatly. In any event, Elden Ring has a pretty clear Moby Dick reference. Turn up your volume and brace for VOICE ACTING.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgc0UxwbQC4
>>155194186>>155195669I've also just remembered that Elden Ring was written by the fucking GRRM instead of finishing his own book. So I guess it makes "why would a wapanese read english classics" question moot xD
>>155195780GRRM wrote some of it, but clearly not all of it. I think he wrote the stuff about Marika's family, but once you get into the cosmic horror elements of the setting its pure Fromsoft. By the time you get to the DLC, its hard to know if GRRM's notes had anything to do with it or not.
>>155191452The western canon is kind of a big deal. It's not just English professors and illiterate racists who like it, the classics get widely translated into pretty much every language.
>>155195669People shit on the >Zanzibart forgive mestuff but I'm a mark for it.
