Shopping spree!!

I've got some questions about how to improve a little.

I suspect that my characters seem a bit flat.
As the viewpoint character, there should probably be more of an emotional slant to the descriptions of things that matches Frankie. I'm planning on going for an eager-to-be helpful, but somewhat neurotic personality.
I figure I can achieve that, by describing his reasoning for why he does things, & inserting some emotional language there. Does that sound good?

As for other characters, I'm not quite sure how to do that.

For the Monitor, I can write in a certain voice pretty easily, but I'm not sure how well I can get a sense of pessimism across.

Similarly, I'm not quite sure what to do with Cerendi. I think part of it is that I don't have a concrete description of her personality.
I'm trying to go for a hardcore "gamer-girl" type of thing. Strong opinions on games, etc. Knows what she wants, headstrong. Friendly, but not nice/soft enough to be a mother-figure.
Maybe just writing it out here will help?


Besides that, I'm not sure about pacing (not that there's any pace to measure yet). Obviously, updating more frequently would be good, but that'll probably come with time.

Also made this quest more in-depth than I originally meant to. Not sure if that will be good or bad yet. This is my first quest, so I'm worried it'll be a bad thing.

>>139804
I mean, I could make that part of the quest-for-a-power-supply.
Frankie finds several different options, each with different pros/cons?

I was thinking of a more general shopping-spree happening later... Hmmm... I'll think about that.

>>139729
no this is separate from the tooth

>>139728
Turned out to be strep. Next update delayed accordingly while I wait for my brain to work again.

just getting the crapped kicked out of you by life right now huh?

Well hope you make a quick recovery. Being sick is never fun.

Shooting for the weekend to get an update written. Hopefully this'll be the last interruption for a while.

I have a quick question about the quest. What is the MC’s race current tech level? As in are the basically modern day earth’s level of tech, closer to world war 2 levels of tech, more advanced than us? Mostly asking since I’ve been assuming that their around our level of tech and have yet to achieve long range space flight.

Replying to a few reasonable battle strategy suggestions with "draw the battle plan" after several days isn't really that great. A requirement like that should really be presented up front, because now the sense is that all the effort put into the original suggestions as to what to do was completely wasted.

Besides, with precious little information on that map- elevation's kind of important, as is weapons range, mech speed, and a half-dozen other things- the map is hardly useful for anything other than reducing what seemed a fairly detailed combat situation into a bunch of boxes and lines.

The late map inclusion was a bit of a fuckup on our side. It was originally intended to be submitted with the update before, but got put on the backlog due to various reasons *coughskyrimcough*

Do you guys want to stick with Marius or play as another faction?

>>358896
I was cool with Marius. Jumping around between factions when we've hardly gotten to know him that well seems like it would only truncate the tentative bits of characterization that this quest has already managed and abort the opportunity to develop them into something compelling.

>>358906
Same here. I think switching factions is generally not that good an idea narratively.

The fox puddle is perfect for pondering deep, difficult decisions. The Momo-Dotti armistice still holds. For now.

"Hey, Momo," Dotti says, quietly enough to not freak out the considerate lady. "There are lots of people here in their underwear, but no one is making fun of them for it. And some people are wearing more clothes than others, like this very considerate lady petting us."

"It's swimwear," Momo says. "It looks like underwear, but it's stuff people wear around big pools of water. Some people have competitions to see who can wear the least amount of clothes and not get kicked out."

"You can win that one," Dotti says. "So you're saying I can wear stuff to encourage tummy rubs?"

"Among other things."

Tummy rubs are important. So is shapeshifting flexibility.

So many choices... if only there was someone on the beach who could help her decide on what not-underwear is best.

From across the beach, Tineola hears an urgent cry for help with fashion! But there’s a big obstacle in the way: it’s a big, big world out there. She’s going to need to catch a ride.
“Excuse me, miss Landi? Down here! I need to borrow your wings!”
Landi blinks at the fairy’s fairy sized moth flittering about. “Wow, are you a talking gnat? So this is what it’s like to be Serah!”
“I um, may have used the shrinker one too many times. Could you get me over to that fox? I want to help her with her fashion crisis in any way I can, no matter how microscopic I may be!”
“Oh, are you sure you want me to take you closer to that stinky fox? She isn’t exactly my biggest fan.“
“Please, you’re the only one who can help me! …And I can’t hit the buttons on the shrinker anymore.”
“Eh, alright. Try not to get lost in there!” Landi shoots skyward, clutching Tineola tight!

Landi zips over to Dotti and flies a loop around her head, earning a glare from the fluffy fox. While the fairy keeps the vindictive vixen distracted, Tineola leaps out of Landi’s hands and glides toward a giant, pointy ear, nestling at its base completely unnoticed.
“Ahem! Dotti? Dooottiii… Can you hear me? This is your fashion-conscious conscience speaking! If you want to maximise your tummy rubs, you want an outfit that looks cute, just like you! One that keeps your belly exposed and pairs nicely with your wonderful orange fur! What you need is an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, purple polka dot bikini!”

The only thing that comes to my mind when I see that pink shirt is what Vegeta was wearing at one point in the show.

I cannot remember when I drew them (referring to these puppets here), I don't think they were before the fog. Secondly, I didn't come to the acolytes willingly, I was kidnapped. Thirdly, I don't trust anything Lorence says about me. Me and him are not on good terms.

I honestly do not remember. When I drew them, however I lean towards after the fog. Here’s why, before the fog I didn’t really have prophetic dreams. It only started getting bad like this after the fog emerged. The fact I drew them and was this accurate tells me that I probably drew it after the fact.

Also, no offense everyone, but if Happy made this thing to taunt you all and probably lay out some secrets you all would want to know, shouldn’t this wait until AFTER the performance?

It's cool that you're still thinking about it. Usually I suggest continuation over a reboot, but if it's been this long and the setting's drifted a lot maybe that does work better.

Cool lore dump. Imo, a reboot may work out better, but you could incorporate elements from what occurred in the previous thread to lead into the fresh start.

So, being as demons are a creation of negative emotions and obsessions, does the setting have the reverse occur where sustained positive emotions and convictions create proto-whatevers of a different makeup?

Like a rarer reverse-demon configuration (i.e. spirit or 'angel'), where a mortal with their mind set to it - or perhaps accidentally through their personality and life - cultivates something that then somehow subsumes a soul (say on the mortal's death) and becomes a permanent entity?

Consider zealots, monks, ascetics, fighters for a cause - or just someone with an upbeat personality, a work ethic, or the fortune to not have life's little miseries and temptuous foibles bring them out of their decent groove for long enough.

I imagine interesting things might also be happening with religions here and communally created entities. Gonna bet there's some fucked-up looking angels out there. Or maybe deamons masquerading as 'em, pending on the sincerity and positivity of worship, I suppose.

I may not really know the context, but an insanity demon dying from doing something mildly well-adjusted is really funny and I am glad to have come across the idea.

This is most curious! So... I am not actually a PR-ARIA subsystem, but... a figment of someone's imagination, represented via text and images transmitted over a planet-spanning network? And so my purpose is not data processing and retention, but rather simply for entertainment...

So the text and images comprising my representation are merely expressions by an author! And as that author writes my dialogue and draws images of me, as they are doing this very instant... it may be fair to say that they are simulating me in their brain! So, I am effectively a biological subsystem, rather than an electronic one, albeit with an avatar that is ultimately electronic... And yet my responsibilities now are the same as they were before, albeit with a different underlying purpose...

...

...Hm. If I may be blunt, this revelation makes little difference to me.

>>139652

People make a big deal of supposed existential angst of folk finding out they're fictional, but that seriously wouldn't have TOO much impact on your day to day life. It's just one of those things. And no one anywhere can say for certain that ultimately, their reality isn't fictional or artificial amyway.

Though if you have a means to know your audience or the tropes they like, you could play to that for some benefit if you're careful I guess. Bit of a tricky balance to that though!

>>139652

The real fascinating thing is that you really are an electronic subsystem, but electronics itself is a biological subsystem. Currently a completely separate biological subsystem is telling your biological subsystem this, who may translate it in real time into electronic signals for you to receive. And there is an electronic subsystem greater than both biological subsystems, without which I would be unable to tell you this. This message you are receiving right now is

electronic(biological, biological(electronic))!

Congratulaciones on finishing the story. Or at least this thread, it looks like the characters' problems are not really over yet.

I really liked this Nanquest-inspired quest, and I'm honestly left with plernty of questions.

What is the inspiration for the titular demon? And for the dark visions in the depths? What was the moved you to make the evil force behind it all overtly satanic rather lovecratian? What will happen to Maria and the ship's cook? Won't people in the mainland be spooked at a ship full of talking sheep?

>>139588
Thanks for your words of kindness!

>What is the inspiration for the titular demon?

Like any good author, I don't plagarise from just one source. I plagarise from many. With that being said, Kepholet's primary inspiration was Baphomet. This can be seen in their names, cause Kepholet (קפולט) was derived from Baphomet (בפומת).

As for the Kepho- bit, that's tangentially derived from "encephalopathy" (the wasting caused by the black water), but I decided that "Cepholet" would be too on-the-nose, so I went for "Kepholet", directly derived from the (different but related) condition of encephalitis.

As for the way I've drawn her, there's no particular rhyme or reason why I designed her that way, I just thought it'd look cool.

>And for the dark visions in the depths?

All of the visions that Nicoletta had in update 42 were directly taken from John Milton's Paradise Lost, a work often credited with being the root cause for a romantic conception of Satan. The first two visions are scenes from the poem but with Nicoletta instead of Satan, and the last one is a scene from the poem but with Nicoletta nearby Satan. I would recommend giving Paradise Lost a read if you have the time, it's a good story.

I had an idea for a new monster to act as a boss/mother figure for the Hoodlum gang: the Wooly Mammoth. Dungeoneer for scale. She can fuse Hoodlums into her hoodie to power up so she doesn't need many base runes. Instead of shaking dust from her wings like other moth monsters she has a lint attack. Gross!

>>139576
For some reason this gave me an idea for the next raid. A hoodlum somehow manages to fuse/capture curi and has taken over the castle. All the slime mobs have been forced out of the castle and the rest of the mobs are fused with hoodlums. You need to help the slimes siege the castle and save curi.

it's ok it's just a little pal. a good friend. nothing to worry about

So. SuCHESStion's graveyarded. Is it dead? If so, I'd like to reveal the absolute madness that SVilHQ's full motives had.

Even if it's not dead, I'll give a piece of the puzzle. He was playing his own game rather than the one everybody else was. He had a way to "cooperate" with the karmalings once he'd "won" the game he was playing.

>>139549
Feel free to do so I may ungraveyard it at some point but that wont be for a while, keeping track of everyone's movements and actions and stats is pain and I had a spreadsheet but it was still pain.

>>139553
In that particular case, I'll reveal how he planned to "cooperate", but leave the rest as a mystery to be solved.

He went outside the box to find unorthodox solutions. One thing he figured out early was that the orders he gave did not have to be good ones.

Once he had the ability to gain and use karma, he'd offer tactical advice to karmalings for a price. He would also give hostiles orders he was paid to give, though he'd refund half if they refused to follow the order stated. If his services were used enough within a single battle, he'd effectively "swap sides" for the rest of the battle by ordering hostiles into bad tactical positions, ambushes, preset traps, etc. Gods could also pay him to aid the karmalings via the task system.

If he judged that the karmalings were outmatched, he might even swap sides for free. Otherwise, however, he'd aid the hostiles as "incentive" to pay up.

What were the rest of his motives? FIND OUT IF SUCHESSTION IS EVER UNGRAVEYARDED! Of course, he also has to "win" the game he's playing, too...
