The Idea: This is a sandbox-style interactive writing game designed to test your character creation, dialogue flow, and scene formatting. My main character, Hector, is currently moving toward a fixed goal: finding the source of a dead body's stench in a Nevada salvage yard. Along his path, he encounters your characters. Your character lives, acts, and speaks entirely inside this sandbox.-Communication Style: To speak out-of-character (OOC) to critique writing style, suggest plot shifts, or give feedback, wrap your text in parentheses: (Like this).-Fractal Writing Mechanics: Every sentence is its own micro-story; every full narrative is just a fractal expansion of a single line. Contributions of any size—from a single gerund phrase, to a punchy sentence to a short story—are welcome.-The Hook: Surviving the 404Every thread has an expiration date. In this sandbox, the 404 error is an active, inevitable apocalyptic event. Your character only survives if they can stick with the group and transition to the next thread before this one gets pruned.I have already mapped out the destination for the next thread. Once our core group of writers settles in, the next destination and survival objective will be chosen by the posters using a 'get' competition. "Surviving the 404" can mean anything you want: jumping through a localized spacetime portal, scrambling to outrun an incoming nuclear strike, or locking down ina survivalist bunker. Your sole objective is to survive alongside the rest of the cast.Who can you play? Anyone. You can write an original creation, a historical figure, or an introspective character consumed by absolute existential ennui.The Golden Rule: You can harm or hinder other characters, but you cannot kill or maim another writer's character. Everyone controls their own physical agency.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Cooled off from the heat, and feeling better after the sip of water, Hector looked around.Behind him, he looked with both his eyes and ears. Nothing was seen nor heard. No sign of that girl or what ever was on the ridge.To his right he thought he heard some rustling noise near some old cars. Past a purple the flower patch near the dead body was a Dodge car. The area around the body smelled like death was near or here. "Look Too", Hector remembered the voice. See, hear, and smell too. Probably a rat or a cat, Hector though. It's Vegas so maybe its the rat pack, the cool cats. Dean Martin and Sinatra, and the other guy. Hector's mind flashed back to concealment training. He remembered what his instructor said to him: "Remember: Look too'. ".Hector, looking up ahead, sees a bunch of rocks assembled in the form of sticks shooting from the ground. Might be the lingering effects of the recent dizzy spells and feeling like waking up at the exact time and place you where a movement ago but everything was different. Those shapes of sticks up maybe 3 miles a ahead had strange colors.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
[THE SANDBOX GET]Welcome to the roll section. We are using standard two-die (2d6) mechanics here. To break down the math for you: hitting a standard challenge roll gives you an 80% chance of basic outcomes, while hitting a DUBS roll sits at a crisp 20% chance. To put that in perspective for everyday life, you have an 80% chance that your car's turn signal is telling the absolute truth, and a 20% chance that the driver ahead of you has been cruising with his left blinker flashing since 2019. We use these grammar tools in natural conversation every day, but executing them on purpose to create a deliberate narrative effect is how we sharpen our writing skills.

Just a thought. We need a Ted Kasinsky ty[e character. I might conjure one up if no one is interested in either being the uncle Ted or being a guy like Uncle Ted.Pic is who uncle Ted is.
Respectfully, I think you need to spend more time playing in some other quests to get a feel for what people are expecting. This all feels really unintuitive and disjointed.
Humankind has finally begun its eminence over the world.The nations are thriving, populations are booming, and the peoples of the surface have finally been granted the freedom and comfort to pursue finer pursuits like music, art, and crafting of frivolous things like toys and trinkets. At day, the Lights Above protect the world as they always have, and, even at night, their illumination is now harnessed to protect the settlements of man from the abyssal hordes. This peace, however, has been thrown into doubt.Something is brewing beneath earth, out of the sight of the Lights Above. Cultists worshipping the Core and its false gods have been exploding in population, more and more Magecorps being corrupted to their cause. Monster activity has heightened, and the rate of their mutation has increased. Nobody quite knows how to explain all of these coinciding phenomena, but almost everyone can agree on this— whatever's happening, it cannot be good.You, for better or for worse, are on the frontlines of this developing battlefield. Your party, the Dawnseekers is a relatively new Corps from a relatively new guild. Serving under the Dawnstone, your merry band of Spelldivers, for their own personal reasons, have opted to risk their lives to combat the Core's darkness. You, regardless of motive, are humanity's first line of defense.Link to relevant information including mechanics, equipment, and spell sigils: https://rentry.org/spelldivers

Going to dump some art I've been making for Spelldivers in my downtime. If I'm not writing right now, I may as well be drawing. Starting with the first fully-rendered piece I've drawn in about a year because I'm not sure whether the others are really worth posting yet. The subject matter is one Countess Susanne the Second, who may or may not actually be Countess of anything, and her obsession with lightning is hopefully well-documented here. She'll probably be the star of everything else I post here for a bit.>>6417396Thank you, and sorry for the belated reply. Your stuff's quite good too; I like the linework and watercolor shadows quite a bit. The crosshatching goes surprisingly well with the latter in your first portrait!Thank you again for the resources, too. I'm not sure if I'll manage to make use of it, since I've got four different art books on my shelf that I'm too scared (and broke) to touch, but I'll keep it in mind for the next time I inevitably get serious about this again. I'd rather not ask other artfags for help directly, due to a variety of factors, but I appreciate the thought.
>>6432032Some quick doodles I made of her before the rendered piece to better settle on what I wanted her to be like...
>>6432034And a tiny pixel sprite I made for use on the Hierophant's map.
>>6431873Thanks!>Is this your first time doing spritey work, or?I made a bunch of windows 95 icons as a kid and then later did some charset mods for an RPGMaker game that I never finished, but mostly I'm just really familiar with the original Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest outside the US) because I only had a few Nintendo games and that was one of them.
>>6432035I really like how you did the lower arms overlapping the dress, and also the hem of the dress looks terrific.
Your name is Ryan Drozdowski. (A stupid name for a girl, you think, but you can’t control your parent’s decisions.) You’re 15 years old. It’s August, 2009. Next week, you start your sophomore year of high school. There’s nothing to look forward to. You’re not popular, and you don’t have any friends.Today, you’re home alone like usual. Your parents aren’t cruel but they’re neglectful; working-class, too busy to make time for you.Looking for ways to occupy yourself, you dig through unopened boxes from the old house. (It got foreclosed last year. You don’t understand why the bank took it away, but you miss that place and you hate this fuck ass new apartment.) You hope to find something interesting tucked away in all the junk, the folded up clothes, the tacky holiday decor.Against all odds, you do.Your fingers brush against the cold metal of a silver flip phone you don’t recognize. It must have belonged to your older sister. (You don’t remember her having one, but you don’t remember her well at all. She died when you were 7, or ran away, or something like that. Your parents don’t talk about her.) The moment you pick it up properly, it rings loud enough to make you jerk back and wince. An electronic jingle fills the otherwise silent air of your living room. Too sudden. After taking a breath, you flip it open with your thumb to pick up the call.It goes quiet again. It’s dead.… Strange.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power. Wielder of the Berserker Soul, and the powerful Stand Divine Dragon Force, you're fully equipped to handle any threat that comes your way.

>>6423751Cumber doesn't listen to a brief about what his opponents can do. And Lavender's punches didn't hurt, not until he spat a cloud of poison in his eyes and he was blinded. His arrogance was his downfall, underestimating the Ninth's hounds. Something Roh will be VERY smug about, learning how Cumber tore through the Sixth's Saiyans.>>6423757He wants to ENJOY a fight, he doesn't just want to just crush weaklings. He seeks true battle, to get the blood flowing.>>6423762Oof.>>6423767He's a complicated case. Arrogant, but rightfully so because he's strong. But too simple, and isn't built for tricky, sneaky opponents. He was forged into a deadly warrior by the Saiyan War on Sadala. Saiyan against Saiyan. He does view races who don't even match his baseline, untransformed power as inferior.>>6423790Precisely. That's why Karn prevailed, and Cumber fell. Karn fought to win, Cumber lost because he just loves fighting.

And the complete eradication of the gods, all the way up to GrandZen-Oh himself.”Isn’t that what Moro secretly wants too? Though he sworn loyalty to Universe 10, so I guess he must play his role of the deity now. Right? He is what he hates.>>6423672>By the time of Karn vs Granolah? All of them that participated in the ToP, challenging their fighters.That’s crazy. Though that’s probably dream come true scenario for Cumber. Right? He is all about fighting for the sake of fighting and those strong opponents are what he wants. This also implies that Doctor Doom was or will be attacked. I’m really curious how that fight went. >All of them that participated in the ToP, challenging their fighters.Does this mean that there is a chance that Chilli or Caulifa also had/has/will have a visit from Cumber?>24 hours to go!

Karen was a bit of a coward but she also had a heck of a sanctimonious streak. It didn’t take much effort for you to push her into confronting the scavs… which was good because you needed to save your strength for what came next.“Hey!”The scavs all turned to her raising their weapons, you felt her blood run cold and her confidence slip.“T-this place is a den of apostasy! A-anything you loot could be tainted by the forces of Darkness!”The scavs began to circle Karen. One of them stepped forward attempting to intimidate her, but you could see his eyes flick warily to you and G’tanen and he stopped just out of striking range.“So? Tainted goods will still trade. Light, Dark, it makes no difference to us. Why don’t you worry about yourself. Not all scavs are as upstanding as us, others might do terrible things to a lone girl like you, but us; we have no quarrel with you as long as you don’t get in our way.”You got the feeling he would not be so reasonable if Karen wasn’t armed and his gang weren’t spooked.[Ah fuck, he’s smart and reasonable.]Comment too long.

Countless particulates drift through the air, stick to your membrane, wet your body.It's noisy. A stream roars as it cuts through the ground below you, drowning out the chatter of the pursuers, subsuming the clank of their boots. But you still hear them. You still know not to stop.The gratings they run on screech under their pressure. You know, instinctively, that there are six feet following you--three of them. Metal scrapes against metal as a door forces its way open and you catch sight of them. They're warm.

A lot of people were really excited for the new millennium. Some were panicking about Y2K and others said that too much money was being spent to fix the issue for it to happen. Besides, fridges and planes didn't have advanced clocks in them.But MREs can always be eaten later, and farmers, if they have the money, can save up produce, stockpile some firearms and ammunition, and buy a few months of gasoline ahead of time. You were more prepared than that, and so were plenty of "survivalists" and "preppers". But none of you expected what actually happened, and now you're in the early spring woods of Wyoming, during the late 2000s, trying to cobble the world you knew back together. Choose your faction / strongest allyNORADBased in a heavily fortified, underground complex in Colorado Springs, NORAD serves as the last organized remnant of the splintered United States military and government. They represent humanity's greatest hope for reclaiming North America by spearheading the "Great American Bug Hunt" and utilizing their vast resources to supply and coordinate independent militias. To combat the alien threat, NORAD's scientists also develop radical, top-secret initiatives like living "Organitechnology" weapons, a trained psychic combat corps, and genetically modified human-Bug super-soldiers known as Splicers.The League of Free CitiesLocated primarily in the Pacific Northwest, the League of Free Cities is a loose federation of nine large, fortified bunker towns and numerous smaller survivalist settlements. These thriving communities share rudimentary trade routes, a cellular communication network, and a mutual defense pact that allows them to quickly unite and crush any attacking Bug swarms or Warlord gangs. Exceptionally well-stocked for the post-Meltdown world, the League boasts active mercantile exchanges, large caches of pre-collapse weaponry, and even a rudimentary air force of gliders and gyrocopters.The Wyoming Free IrregularsComment too long.

By the end of the second year the power starts to come back on for some parts of the country, so we are told. The internet and phone lines even begin to slowly but surely begin to work. The issue is that we don't really have power and we don't really want to turn on the generators if we don't need to. There is some turning on the power or starting up a car to see what we can hear, but not much more than that. When we start to hear a lot of talk about how things are close to back to how they used to be and how they found stockpiles of food, or moved supplies from other nations, or they're going to start up the logistics network... We are skeptical. Besides, didn't we prepare for the world ending? Some of us don't want the world to come back together, and if it does... Well, we are fine as we currently are. We're not quite starving. It was touch and go a few times, and our longterm supplies aren't quite intact... But we can make it another few years, God willing.Decision time! Which do we want to do?>1. We focus on trading and prosperity, building up supplies and being able to stand up on our own. This is being isolated and not taking time to go places or know what is happening. If a plague or something is spreading, we might not get it, but we might not be warned about it.>2. We try to obtain more information, assert ourselves as the local government, or try to link up with the closest half decent town, and try to get services back on. Maybe we see if we can find alternate ways to get power and coordinate with others. >3. We try to strike a balance.

It's a bit hard to update when there isn't a lot of interest and it was harder when the outcome was so bad. I had to spend a few days trying to think of if everyone just died or what happened, but then I thought of an answer. [B]Then I got IP blocked for posting too much??[/b][b][red]-4, No AND[/red]/b]It was a very difficult process trying to convince people that maybe we shouldn't be connecting ourselves to the main grid. The whole grid went down and as far as we knew, a lot of the world went down with it. That didn't make any sense... There was power plants and facilities that hadn't been updated in the 1980s, so they didn't have computers. Not to mention, at least one or two survivalist's mentioned.. Unix and somehow about how Y2K was a problem with uh... That software...The explanation that people understood was that software was like if you had a diesel engine or a gasoline engine, or if you were a woman or a man. Software decided what the computer could do and how it worked, and how you worked with it.There was some weird mathematically problem with Unix software, where it counted up to a certain point and past that, it would glitch and max out at the highest or lowest possible number. Some of you said the magnetic poles moved, some blamed the illuminati, some blamed aliens, some "the bugs", some lizard people, and even some blamed zombies. Quite a few others just thought it was some technical issue, terrorism, or some rogue state. Maybe it was the CIA? ---Regardless, using the radio to listen was likely fine, but being connected to the rest of the power grid and the internet would expose us to whatever took everything out earlier. If we did setup a grid, it should be local and be monitored. Besides, gasoline should be for trucking the sick or going to fetch antibiotics. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

It has been a year since you, Courier Six, drove Caesar’s mighty Legions back across the Colorado River and sent the Bear black west with its tail between its legs. You harnessed House’s robotic army to secure the Mojave. Since then, you’ve brought peace and prosperity to the newly minted “New Vegas Directorate” with the help of a growing bureaucracy headed by your closest companions.The road has not been easy and you have recently “cleansed” Zion from the Boomer Blight, an engineered plague that had the potential to end the wasteland. With the immediate disasters handled, you now look forward. You have begun the rehabilitation of Big Mountain and welcomed waves of Enclave immigrants to New Vegas.

>>6432237I'd be into that, we could decide which drugs are allowed to be legal and which ones aren't.

But, I think we need way more infrastructure for that. How about when we announce these, we just say 'this first year will be a trial period for certain elements like drug laws. We are choosing to trust and be hands off. This is your notice: we may take control of drug production domestically'. This will set expectations and have firms play it more carefully

>>6432298>Yes But flip the Tiers lol, or under the child labor stuff switch 3 to 1, so pedophiles get executed instead of a slap on the wrist. Should probably just make pedophilia of any kind an executable offense and be done with that. Actually none of this probably matters because that would be a completely different level of dark for this quest, wouldn't it? Let's just all assume that if there is any child sex abuse, really bad stuff happens to the culprit, and that's all the thinking about it necessary.

apologies for the delay, i´ve had to deal with some stuff here, please give me another couple of days while i sort everything out and we´ll come back to business in full force so we can end this story once and for all!
For thirty six years I have looked to the Mad Star for guidance, hearing in one ear his most solemn whispers, and in the other, a gibbering laughter beyond all reason. I have watched the glint of hallucination root itself in the minds of the doubtful, and I have felt the tremors of abandon creep across my bones.I have seen the gates of Oblivion beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold... in darkness a doom sweeps the land... This is the 12th of Sun's Dusk, the year of Akatosh 433. These are the closing days of the Third Era... And the sunset of sanity in Mundus.- Cadmius Cavestes, Mumbling Priest of Colovia=======================================Welcome to The Madhouse Crusade! In this quest, you play as Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness and Creativity, Lord of The Never-There, The Trickster, Fourth Corner of The House of Troubles, and Sovereign of The Shivering Isles. But, you weren't always who you are now. You once told yourself that 'Daedra are the embodiment of change', and permanency too, and plenty of other nonsense. You used to be you, too, but also, you were someone else, a Champion for the Shivering Isles... And before that, a Hero... A Hero of Kvatch! That's right, he was... She? You were a hero from Nirn, you had been released from prison by a fateful encounter with the... Emperor! That's right, what a nice guy, whatever happened to him? It's so difficult to recall exactly... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Recounting Our Hero's last adventure, A young man strikes out into the dangerous, ungoverned land of Axegaurd to make a name for himself. Formerly a librarian from the frigid northern kingdom of Holuthheim , This hero uses his smarts and his skills with a blade to tackle the quests he was given. At his side is a former soldier, a Beastwoman with a foul mouth, a noticeable drinking problem and an unmatched skill with hand to hand weapons. Khyber, as she is called, offered to temporarily join our hero but agreed to stay by his side a little longer, so long as he'd provided an adequate amount of alcohol . Our Hero's second party member is a neurotic but well meaning mage. Her name is Xiphos and the esoteric school of magic she follows demands the worship of strange beings of light that grant her holy abilities. She is here to fight the worshipers of darkness who plague these lands, even if she is anxious about everything. Including fighting darkness. Our previous tale ended with a beginning, a farmer offered nearly all the coin to his name to Our Hero and his party. The job, on paper, is simple "get rid of the succubus that has been attacking my town by any means necessary". What this band of heroes will soon find out is that this job will not be as simple as they believed it to be. For night has fallen on this lawless lands, and in the cover of darkness the succubus lurkswaitingpreying...>continued
>>6429639you got her! now have fun getting her off of you>>6429644audibly keked at this
>>6429654!!!>>6429644LOL
>>6429491>2.)go to another part of the village and set up the trapIt's probably going towards it's family, too risky to follow
>>6430170My reasoning for picking following was that we couldn't risk the succubus warning the others about us
>>6430170It's injured and a poor strategic thinkerKilling it now would stop the others realising that we are here, so long as we can catch it quickly
Monday night, your last day to live. Last day to live free, that is, y’know, because you have work tomorrow? Haah, your jokes don’t even land in your own head. What a pain, four years of education just to repeat the same old song and dance week after week. But don’t worry, you’ll also get to head back to the Site the week after this, too! Fun. You let out a breath and flick your mouse wheel, a calming, familiar sensation. In front of your eyes, dozens of games you’ve never bothered to open scroll past. Hey! Least you didn’t pay for all of them. A household steam account is the largest sign of technological advancement in society. A modern-day miracle if you say so yourself. And you do. That is, if anything can catch your eye. But lately, you’ve been hard-pressed to find time, or drive, to try out anything new. So you scroll past hours of potential content and fun and close the tab.Or, you would have had your eyes not land on an unfamiliar title, Fantasy Quest 7: Rebirth. A small download, barely even a gigabyte, accompanied by an art style that leaves a lot to be desired and barely any reviews. In other words, a gem. An uncharacteristic smile splays across your lips. Maybe this’ll do. A closer inspection of the store page finds that it actually has no reviews, like there’s a chance you might be the first human in the world to play this. That thought is accompanied by a read through of a rather fitting description: [Do you desire more out of your lot? Wish to venture where man has never ventured before? To explore treasure-filled depths? And carouse with the loveliest of maidens? Then step no further than into the newest installation of Fantasy Quest! An experience magically-made just for you!] Cute. But where the fuck did your friends find this? Wait, how the fuck is it in none of their libraries– That’s it. You click install. You’re curious enough for now, and besides, you eye the group chat, the chances you’re gonna get to do anything else fun tonight are pretty slim…
>>6431746>>6431747Sorry about the delay! I could give an excuse about blah blah blah, but the most honest answer is that I bought some new cocktail mixers at the grocery store and used that as my catalyst to get so crossed that when I came to I was replaying Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Again) (#BlueLions4Lyfe). Writing!
>>6432109Your mind races at a mile a minute, mimicking that of your ever-beating heart as you ponder all the possibilities of magic you might be able to cast. Keyword: Might, you aren't sure of anything really right now, and you'd rather not have to worry about whether the Void Entity will pull your ass out of the fire every time things get serious. But in order for that to NOT happen again, you need to drastically expand the scope of runes you can use. And seeing as Luvettel is currently rolling around on the floor, kicking her legs & wings in the air, and laughing maniacally about how special her "destined love" is, you're not exactly certain what you're doing even counts as ordinary magic. Though for a guy from Earth? All this crazy shit is magic to you, not like you're handling sufficiently advanced technology or anything... Right?Anyway! Magic time! And first things first– you dump out a bunch of bullets from your pouch and simply [Dispel] the [Explosive] sigil on them and replace it with [Chill]. Thankfully, your armor and your cloak came with plenty of unused storage space, so it's rather simple to diversify your elemental arsenal... Though you won't lie, you didn't exactly make the revolver with your musket bullets in mind, so you're not exactly sure they'll fit. Wait a minute, what are you getting confused for? You're a goddamn wizard, just think of a solution! Okay, okay– You remember playing D&D, right? Now, if you wanted to use magic and guns, you'd naturally play an artificer, of course, and it just so happens that in a part of Dick's campaign, you did. Specifically, the subclass that gives you a little robot companion to use in combat. Whenever that little bastard got hurt, you were able to spam the Mend cantrip to heal it to full after the battle. Basically, your character was using magic to weld the robot's parts back in place. Mechanically, it healed all the DMG it took during combat, but flavor-wise, it was repairing it. And because Richard was a fun DM, he let you abuse the fuck out of that cantrip whenever you wanted, when not in initiative, like tearing a hole in a fence to sneak into the Duke's Manor, or creating a beard hole in your dwarves' helmets. Or even when you turned the Duke's golden prosthetic into a giant dildo as he slept. Good memories, Rich even gave you inspiration for that one, in-game at least, but you're getting off track. So if you want to be able to fit the musket-balls into your revolver, all you'll need to do is take them into your hand... concentrate on them.. compel your [Mana] to [Expel] and... [Mend] it into the right shape-! Aha! You're a genius! A-and that wasn't even that difficult? Wait, why wasn't it? It's an entirely new rune for you. So..
>>6432151Was it because you already had a solid grasp on what you wanted to do? Is that what made it easier? Maybe, but you can't be sure right now. What you can be of, though, is the fact that you now have a pouch full of revolver ammunition along with the [Explosive] musket ammo. It's all neatly sorted and separated in the pouch by a leather divider you [Mend]ed into being. Half of the pouch is filled with [Chill] bullets and the other with [Heat] Bullets. And because you're a bit extra (Read: Awesome) You load your revolver with alternating bullets: 1 [Heat], 2 [Chill], 3 [Heat], 4 [Chill], 5 [Heat], and the final being [Chill] for all those in the cylinder. If you were a mini-boss, you're certain your attack pattern would be fucking awesome with all the ideas you put into place. Though you're not exactly sure how the [Cold] and [Heat] will affect a "living" warform, no offense, Seventeen! They're a mix of organic matter and metal, but given their demonic heritage, and the conditions they must have to live in around the Septic Tank and other such areas... Actually, why don't you test that right now? You walk over a few hundred feet on the platform, from one end to another, to where Seventeen left the assembled corpses of the warforms and animals (monsters?) and [Chill] a warform long enough for it to get [Cold]. And that makes another progressing rune, like when you used [Heat] and bunch and learned [Burn], is your ability supplying you with synonyms? Whatever, what matters more right now is that eventually the metal gets brittle enough that even Luvettel is able to snap it apart at your beckoning. And while [Heat] doesn't make it as frail, you do notice on another warform cadaver that it does a good job of melting the warform's wires and circuits. Even inside an organic chest cavity! And then for a second your mind exits experiment mode, and you realize you stuck your arm inside a dead man's rotting torso, and you vomit off the side of the track while Luvettel offers to lick your arm clean... Why couldn't your isekai adventure be normal??Finally, after a surprisingly long adventure trying to find a way to wash your arm, you return to the area near where Saki sleeps and content yourself with experimenting with [Mend]. Mostly it involves just grabbing chunks of concrete, metal, or stone, and making different shapes with them. Origami cranes, miniature cars, toy soldiers, and even anime figurines are all created as you figure out the extent of what you can do with the rune. Turns out It's quite a lot! Though you're still working on color, maybe a paint rune would help you with that? No, don't get sidetracked!
>>6432152As expected for the [Mend] rune, if you want detail, it's going to take more time to cast. And you simply don't have the capability to [Mend] a wall into existence from the floor. Your best success was only creating an upcropping about a foot tall. You guess it's good if you want to trip someone, but you're going to have to stick to the [Barrier] rune if you want to make anything substantial... Though you are able to make quite a nice [Barrier] when you think about earthbending using the platform. You know, like in Avatar? And when you're this close to the Leyline, it seems making even a [Stone] [Barrier] rise from the ground and to enclose the corpses in a smell-proof container is a trivial endeavor. Well, it is, because you do it just fine."Hmph, good work." You startle as Seventeen somehow appears behind you. You must have been too engrossed in your head. "Now use your abilities to cover over all the windows and doors except for the leading car. Add any exterior defenses you think of as well, simply tell me what you do after." She commands."B-but, that'll take hours!" You whisper-yell in regards to the snoozing teenager nearby... Oh, and demon. Looks like Luvettel has joined her, curled up close by like a cat on the ground her skeletons cleared away for her."You don't seem tired." Seventeen states, and you curse how animated all this magic shit has made you. Because, well, you're not tired. Though you have the feeling that if you help fortify the train, it's the last thing you'll get to do in peace. And that means not getting any answers from the Void Entity, if she'd even give any in the first place. "You'll be able to sleep on the train, get a move on." Seventeen says that, but for some strange, foreboding reason, you feel like that's not a certainty. This is the last action before the end of the scenario>"Fiiiiiine," you moan. You'll turn the train into a certified Killdozer– killtrain? [Anything specific do you want to try?]>"Woah– woah, surely you can let your strongest, and most handsome, soldier get some beauty sleep, right?" Try to contact the Void EntityComment too long.

>>6432154>"Fiiiiiine," you moan. You'll turn the train into a certified Killdozer– killtrain? [Anything specific do you want to try?]Oh golly where do I start>Open/closeable shooting holes>Spikes to deter boarders>Flamethrower defenses if the spikes don't work>Spiked cowcatcher on the front for obvious reasons>Cover/metal walls to hide behind on the top of the train>Extra protection on the wheels>Fuzzy Dice>>6432109Also that's more than an acceptable reason to not update, OP. Just add in more Luvettel and we'll be square
At the same time that the Straw Hats were having their adventure in Skypiea, a young couple inspired by Eustass Kidd had stolen a rowboat and set out on their own pirate adventure in the South Blue.Since they were still hours away from any islands they decided to settle the matter of who should be captain of their crew and who the first mate. Since they didn't want to fight for it or even had the room to do so they had picked a peaceful way to settle things."Rock, pa pers, scissors. "Sho ot!""Another draw?! We've been at this for 10 minutes already."Yeah, maybe we should try something else. How about a coinflip? The blonde haired boy took out a coin."Call it, babe.

>>6431528>>6431583>>6431596The next morning Chenketh argued that they had best sell the tuna as soon as possible since it was over 12 hours since they caught it and their iceboxes just weren't meant for something like that. Despite being hungry both James and Elizabetha deferred to his judgement and they headed straight for the market.It still took them a while to find someone selling fish but they succeeded before the Blue-Finned Elephant Tuna was spoiled. After some haggling they sold the most expensive parts while keeping the rest themselves and while they believed they got a good price it was naturally less than they got for the treasure."What do we do with the rest?""Why don't I smoke it and we eat it for breakfast?""Not a bad idea."They headed to the nearby forest where James and Elizabetha gathered firewood, mostly pine and birch on Chenket's recommendation, while Chenketh prepared the fish with salt, spices and some local plants for sides as well as his bottle of hot sauce for whoever wanted it.Comment too long.
