Though it depends on what you're gonna do there? it's an interesting place to bring that up

[minor orchid]

the thing™

[west phoenix]

Its lancering time

[polar glacier]

||so how are you thinking of having millstone show up in the middle of the terra solus?||

[clever cloud]

(ch3) ||I wanna have him be all 'ye, popped in early this timeline cuz i wanna see yall kick Bad Star's ass.' They're gonna pick him up from the Night Market encounter.||

||"I'm never here this early."||

(ch4) ||The reason is to make ch4 a departure from how they already know him to be. Rather than just meet him when he's dazed and confused in the metavault||

jen i swear to FUCK

[light mist]

wait idgi
are you saying ||another millstone shows up in the Boltzmann metavault||?

[noble ivy]

[Post chapter three] hmm… ||In my games I plan on introducing the NHP npcs early as well. I’m cooking up a scene where at the dome my players will find the caskets of a bunch of NHPs and a production script for a “Hell in a cell” match with cascading NHPs||

[clever cloud]

(ch4) ||No no, the stages of the boltmann metavault confuse the fuck out of NHPs. Millstone is said to speak about things that are happening as if they were in the distant past, confused, unsure. I want the team to meet him when he's not delirious||

[light mist]

ohhhh I see

[clever cloud]

jen, igf is about to get so funny

[noble ivy]

You mean it’s about to get

[polar glacier]

it's going to get SO GOOD

You're getting to The Good Bits™

[light mist]

hmmm... makes me wonder if I should ||introduce the book NHPs as NPCs|| in my campaign as well...
I kinda worry about ||throwing too many characters at my players tho||

[clever cloud]

yea same. but at this point they're in a good spot to do so

[light mist]

it's gonna be so long until I get to run igf again unfortunately 😭

[west phoenix]

Its crazy because its been peak so far

[last leaf]

oh yeah you're getting to the good stuff now

[polar glacier]

Talk with your players. If any of them are looking to get an NHP at LL3, you can show them the NPC NHPs from the book and see if they're interested in them, or would want a new custom NPC as their copilot. You can then work the one they want into the story before they team up.

[west phoenix]

I wish Serenity would get an NHP buddy but it wouldn't be until LL6 and i have enough NHPs in the other campaign lmao

[last leaf]

brb gotta give archie more nhps

[west phoenix]

The polycule grows

[clever cloud]

||btw the Peggy pilot isn't taking the sysiphus nhp.. i just wanna hang out with Millstone||

[polar glacier]

I'm a strong advocate for befriending the NHP NPCs from the book as just people you know.

[last leaf]

I'm sorry eleonor, I only listen to bad influences

[polar glacier]

I also allow players to take NHPs they like as people and use them for the systems they've gotten by license regardless of the actual class of the NHP character. You met a super cool ATHENA class NHP and you're good friends, but you're running sherman licenses? Eh. She can figure out how this ATHENA system works, don't worry about it.

[west phoenix]

Me?

[last leaf]

[Act 2 technically?]||befriending CHAAC in particular is great for the plot imo||

[clever cloud]

Athena: "Im not sure about firing this laser, Frank?"
Frank: "Pretend it's a markerlight"
Athena: "Oh ok, yay!!"

[last leaf]

||I always have CHAAC and Joan at a bar somewhere in Furnace City personally.||

[formal gale]

||oh yeah I have a player who's planning to make friends with him! Doubly funny since another pc is unknowingly spying for SSC on hells gate which will be very funny when act 2 stuff happens||

[last leaf]

excellent clusterfuck. The drama!

[polar glacier]

I mean, how else do you explain the ||Cpt. Dirk Derringer, the ADVENTURE!-class||?

[formal gale]

||to clarify he knows he's working for SSC but not what they're looking for. Last downtime he ended up reaching out to Striga to help break encryption and copy data on the listening devices he's been planting with SSC figuring out.||

[willow needle]

So many spoilers

[last leaf]

apologies naana

And if you click any of them I’ll cry

[polar glacier]

MY PLAYERS NO LOOK! Act2 ||Impact Dynamics arc AND SSC arc spoilers: || ||I still haven't brought in CHAAC or Joan but I really need to. rn my party is on Impact Plaza fuckin up Steele's entire life. The clone of Harris is there with a fireteam of Constellar Midnights "helping". Their real goal, or perhaps additional goal is to steal PANOPTES for the skyhook's R&D to look at. If they pull that off, Kraken might force the party into the SSC arc and may end up killing one or more Harrises at some point.||

[west phoenix]

@last leaf Serenai backstory?

[last leaf]

Good shout but no.

[west phoenix]

Too bad its my headcanon now

[minor orchid]

No backstory? :c

[west phoenix]

Important backstory character: Frank

[west phoenix]

Wren snatched Archie's backstory all for his greedy self

I am powerless! (It was my idea)

[minor orchid]

Ah yes

Giving your DM a whole buster sword rather than knifes

[west phoenix]

An orbital laser

[light mist]

we're technically already at LL3 and no one took an NHP, which is why I hadn't really considered introducing any of the book ones

[west phoenix]

Imagine getting book NHPs

Y'all are SPOILED

[minor orchid]

Mmm NHP's

[light mist]

given that one of my PCs is an NHP though, it would probably make sense for them to meet in some kind of NHP support group or something 🤔

[west phoenix]

The wreck it ralph villain circle but its just NHPs

[minor orchid]

Fucking turbo

[last leaf]

shut yourself you ate 2 NHPs

[west phoenix]

I DIDN'T EAT THEM

WE ARE FRIENDS

[minor orchid]

Eat your friends

Friend are food

[last leaf]

so far, excluding siren, I've introduced one book nhp.

[west phoenix]

But i was complaining about other campaigns specifically wallflower. I had to write 3 fuckin NHP characters

[minor orchid]

That bad-

[last leaf]

tbf, as far as lore goes, the number of NHPs in calliope does seem to be unusually high. Not that I have any problems with Calliope Coincidences™

[minor orchid]

Talking about NHP's

I should have really put more focus on making one since... Lucero has the black thumb/technophile thingy

Your failures!?

[west phoenix]

Its ok :3

[minor orchid]

Excuse me but

The reason I got into mechs

[hybrid salmon]

it took me multiple sessions before siren was a thing

[minor orchid]

Is thanks to you

[west phoenix]

Thats normally the case isn't it?

[minor orchid]

Also I didn't know a whole lot of lancer so I was up for back seating a lot haha
I should have made the NHP myself rather than wait

Since now I see that they are really cool :>

[west phoenix]

Yeah i literally thought they were just AI supplements for the mechs, the rulebook does not do them justice

It doesn't even speak about them like they're people

[hybrid salmon]

mhm, igf specifically calls that out

[west phoenix]

Early lancer was crazy with that lmao

[last leaf]

the crb really disagrees with itself in a lot of places tonally.

[west phoenix]

Even early modules like wallflower treat NHPs really weird

[minor orchid]

It really does

And now I need to think about something for Lucy!

Because I already know his mech list >:)

[last leaf]

the actual writing in the lore section does them pretty well but you can really tell that (not just with NHPs) that the crb was written before the tonal centre of the setting was actually decided.

in general the crb doesn't technically contradict itself but only on a technicality if you get me.

okay meow

[west phoenix]

I agree with you i just had nothing to add and wanted to antagonize

[minor orchid]

[formal gale]

What did I come back to lmao. Why we vore the nhp

[minor orchid]

Something something spoilers from all the campaign (?)

[west phoenix]

Wren thinks i vored NHPs as Archie but really we're just roommates (in the same CPU)

[formal gale]

I did gather its a pc specific thing if I'm not mistaken

[tame tide]

It's funny because if I mentioned NHP vore as a spoiler to a lancer module I was aware of, it would apply to more than 1 Lancer module!

[formal gale]

Oh neat!

no autism, its just a will

[minor orchid]

You this friday

[balmy obsidian]

But I feel like "clicking my rings together because they make the same sound a bag of couple of marbles makes when they clink together" is probably a contender for stimming maybe

[tame tide]

Yes it is

[formal gale]

I'd say so yeah

[balmy obsidian]

IM FUCKIN STIMMING

[minor orchid]

STIMMING?

[formal gale]

Or if you have a specific phrase or saying you repeat when it's quiet could be

When I get bored, I find myself doing a bit of stimming (cocaine)

[minor orchid]

COCAINUM

[west phoenix]

That explains a lot

[balmy obsidian]

Or also sometimes when I get up from my chair I do it imagining I'm some spooky shadow wood creature and imagine my limbs make cracking noises

Does that count

[clever cloud]

this is what i call it when I- (sniper shot)

[formal gale]

I'd say only if you make a noise out loud? If you're just picturing it naaaah

I think you're possessed, Leo

[formal gale]

Imo

[balmy obsidian]

Nay, no noise

[balmy obsidian]

God forbid girls have hobbies

[last leaf]

are you sure you're not?

[willow needle]

stimming is basically repetitive motions and noises for self stimulation, normally done to manage emotions. it includes head banging, flapping or clapping hands, rocking side by side... and majority of time its done without control (like, you are doing that without realizing you are doing it)

my stimmings are normally rocking side by side or forward and backward, i also move my toes and feet a lot, as well as flapping hands when im feeling a lot of stress, can be either positive stress or negative (like either im super happy or super anxious). idk if always needing to have something (like a fidget spinner) always moving in my hands is stimming or rather adhd needing to always be doing something and not being able to stand still.

sorry for nerding out

horse legs are massive, singular fingers

[minor orchid]

Finger leg

[clever cloud]

horses have the world's most fucked up cardiovascular system

[willow needle]

horses are just fucked up overall

[supple carbon]

The only reasons horses get put down when they break their legs, is beacuse they don't stay still for long enough for it to heal properly

[willow needle]

they eat the wrong grass and die

[last leaf]

horses are ontologically evil.

Are they the fungi of the animal kingdom in that regard?

in terms of being evil?

So in actuality a horse modded person would have a lot more chances, since they KNOW that if they move it will heal wrong

@last leaf SO
lynk lore time
chapter 4 spoilers
||so as you know lynk was in the circuit yeah
so this happened in chapter 3, where lynk was having a subplot where they slowly found out that their old comrades sacrificed themselves and they, for whatever reason, were spared and kept in the dark
lynk's Plunder the Void variant is them waking up in the Crypt of Stars when they fall asleep sometimes
with that background information in mind,
so at one point they asked TRIPLE-POINT if it will hurt them if they come near
it at first lied, saying unclesr, but (with the help of caustic) the true answer is revealed: yes
lynk usually suddenly wakes up after receiving their answer. but this time no. they were just given a way out, but they refused
lynk decides to push further into the CRYPT. CAUSTIC warns them, begs them to leave:||

||[I don't want you to see them like this. It's still slipping. Protect yourself on my behalf and leave.]||
||lynk refuses.||
||"then make me."||
||as lynk pushes further, they've now found themself at the VORSEHUNGSMOTOR. and then before a door to the final reflection.
they touched the door. it feels like hot glass.
CAUSTIC appears again to plead them to not go through. it warned them that if lynk were to proceed further it would cause a mise en abyme-like effect
lynk says, what's the worst that could happen?
CAUSTIC replies that they don't know. does lynk really want to find out?
lynk...||
||that's half of my life motto. i'm sorry.||
||lynk proceeds through the door. they caught a glimpse of the strange place of polished glass and a reverberating litany before it was cut short by pain. TRIPLE-POINT screams. lynk wakes up in white hot pain.||

[west phoenix]

for cyberstan!

[cerulean river]

Allow me to derail whatever is going on for a moment. May I present to you: home made soft pretzels and cheese!

I am proud of them and I desire to share them with every person I call friend. I may not be able to have y'all eat them, but I can at least promise if we ever meet in person, I'll make some for you.

[clever cloud]

yoooooooooooooooooooooooo

[cerulean river]

I don't have any large rock salt to put on top as a garnish
I also can't do large rock salt often because it hurts my teefs

[silver pumice]

NEED

[noble ivy]

what about flaky salt?

[cerulean river]

ooooh, I haven't tried flaky salt before. I have done just normal salt, sprinkled gently

the cheese itself kinda has enough salt to it that I don't think the bread really needs it

[west phoenix]

that looks extremely good

[cerulean river]

I made this batch because one of my supervisors at work is moving back home and transferring to a location closer to where he'll be, and I like him as a person and a supervisor, so he gets my eternal effort in the form of pretzels.

[supple carbon]

nana eepy, don't question it

flaky salt? i didn't know salt could just flake on me like this, how will i season my food now

@formal gale hates me because I say this EVERY time we see that sign

it's pretty good

appartment complex? i find it quite simple

i feel like anyone who was alive during vine says that

anything thats "[blank] ahead" i have to say it

[supple carbon]

Vine, the old's people tik tok

[wild flame]

Can confirm, I too say it whenever I see a road work sign

[west phoenix]

this question was brought up at work today: "how old is too old?"

you will not believe what someone wrote lmao

[cerulean river]

I say "I'm too old for this" a lot for someone who hasn't reached 30 yet. But my body definitely feels it. All thanks to getting hit by a car

[west phoenix]

was NOT expecting that latter part

[cerulean river]

Of course that's the most glaring thing to make my body not work right, I'm sure the lack of exercise and hyper-extension from childhood plays a part too

[supple carbon]

if it makes you all feel better im only 20 and i already make those dad grunts when i stand up (because i dislocated my knee but anyway)

0 reason for my knee to not work right and yet HERE WE ARE

i just typed it like this teehee

[formal gale]

__Mehkali Lann (She/They) Callsign : MONGREL __- An NHP part of the original colonization efforts in Calliope over three centures ago. Acting as a companion to various individuals throughout the years, she eventually settled into a role of therapist / teacher on Hell's Gate. Operating a traditional bipedal subaltern body (a flight capable protogen esque design) and shaping her mobility suite equipped casket to look like a dog, she fills this role quite well, a robotic therapy dog being rather popular with the children of Hell's Gate and her wealth of knowledge and experience a great aid to those troubled by the stresses of life in Calliope. Her typical feminine sounding voice sometimes alternates to a more aggresive, masculine voice, a trait she picked up after her last cycling. Curiously most people are a bit reluctant to talk about what happened to her before her last cycle...

Birrnen Wullheim Spalonepole (He/Him) Callsign : WULLY - Self proclaimed explosive expert. Grew up amongst the Thousand Habs as a small time miner before eventually moving to the Gate. Encouraged to volunteer for the militia after an... explosive issue. Is kept around the station due to his small talent with machinery and, let's be honest, knowledge on how to completely dismantle the opposition with a well placed mine can be very handy at times. Unbeknownst to anyone else, Wully, under the guise of vent crab exterminator, has been planting listening devices and collecting data from other survey beacons scattered throughout the side corridors of the Gate at the generous behest of SSC. Old beacons, judging by the dust around them. What is he being paid to gather data on you might ask? Well Wully would very much like to know as well. Also the cause for the printer's issues at the start of the story, after Wully used his militia privelige to cut in line at the printer queue, an argument broke out and escalated resulting in some of the mines mounted to Wully's mech to be jostled mid print.

[supple carbon]

do i need to get the skeleton-

oh lore this is nice

[formal gale]

__Jackev "Catman" Soner (He/Him) Callsign : KITTY -__Hacker wonderkid and native to Hell's Gate, Jackev was persuaded by Jerry to join the militia as a precautionary measure, hoping to channel his inquisitive nature and excellent hacking skills away from the Gate's sensitive infrastructure. When not getting into flame wars on the Muse or doing sigdiving, Jackev takes care of a "domesticated" vent crab he has named Clawdia. It has a cowboy hat. Got interested in the stories about HORUS and their mechs, leading to him narrowingly avoiding death at the digital hands of an uploaded basilisk recently while poking through the data of some low ranking CIRCUIT members.

Izana Arrillaga (She/Her) Callsign : HELLHOUND - Educated on Impact Plaza at one of their few universities, Izana studied neuroscience. This field, while extremely beneficial, doesn't exactly scream money maker to Impact Dynamics. Fed up with student debt and bureacracy, Izana began looking for a way out from Impact Plaza. She got her chance shortly after the Strikebreak of '04. Taking advantage of the chaos, she made a deal with the recently founded Burning Forge, who smuggled her off station. Of course Impact Dynamics isn't one to forget unpaid debts, and perhaps such debts will come back to light during the course of the story. In addition, while the Blacksmith at the time considered the sting against Steele's ego payment enough for smuggling her out, perhaps that favor those years ago could be called upon...

__Graham Cracker (He/Him) Callsign : KRAPS - __
An upbeat, cherry fellow and a proud Gate Union worker on the Gate. Was content to work one of the few active mines/ foundries still active for the rest of his life, but a recent pirate attack cost the Gate a contract, and Graham signed on to the militia out of genuine patriotism and desire to get back at those dang pirates. None of this is true. Graham is actually Captain Caler Vane, a former pirate belonging to a new dissolved group called the Stellar Wraits. Fell on the losing side of a rivalry with another Wraith and was forced to fake his death and scuttle his custom Monarch. He stole a lifeboat from his former crew and was eventually picked up by a nearby freight hauler. The first food he had in days was a box of graham crackers offered by one of the hauler's crew, and in true Calliope fashion, became his namesake. Acts out a cheery persona to both mask his identity and as a coping mechanism for the frustration of being so close to leadership of the Stellar Wraiths, who now folded into the Hellhounds.

the whole "we gave them the best power since Cain and the rock" or whatever it is is so good

[wild flame]

We handed them a power that gods of death and war had coveted since Cain cracked a rock over Abel’s head, and they told us, ‘if we can’t see it, we can’t sell it.’

[formal gale]

Yeah thats the one!

I feel like it's a K6BD reference but am unsure

[wild flame]

oh absolutely! And yeah I noticed the one line with Kraken's description and thought the pairing would be neat, hence why I had Kraken hang with Jackev in the session zero

I'll be sure to share summaries for my Sunday game as well once we get a bit further in on that one!

[thorn hinge]

ooh, those look pretty good! Did you do a baking soda bath? I never could get good results on pretzels until I switched to food-grade lye.

[formal gale]

Chapter 1 spoilers and WIFE spoilers ||I might ask after Calamity at some point, had the setup where she caught on to Graham's true identity already, and they had an interesting conversation after the fight with Capella. She was kinda pokin Graham to see if he'd make a play to get back into the pirating game and see if she could hitch back in on that. So we'll see how he takes that. ||

I cannot. I am the blind

[thorn hinge]

I have UNENDING ||Calamity|| stories and thoughts I love to talk about ||Calamity||

Okay @silver pumice

Chapter4 ||So I've mentioned before, in the metavault my team ended up split into different simulations of themselves in other timelines. In one, Kraken was a friend of one of the SRT members: Lynk. They had talked to Striga to get intel on S1GN4L for the second fight of ch1, and Striga suggested they talk with Kraken. The player bought into the scenario immediately and they gave Lynk a heads up on what to expect based on what they remembered of being in the same fight.||
|| After getting out of the metavault, the team's memories of those timelines faded, like dreams. They don't really remember anything at all.. but if they encounter a reminder of some sort, the memories come back.||

(Not act 2 spoilers! I'm keeping it vague enough to work! But MY PLAYERS KEEP OUT) (ch4 spoilers tho)||Now the team is in act 2. I introduced a party of arena veterans that are assisting with the current mission. It's mostly background fluff, my SRT has their objectives but allied units handling other fights in support. Lynk is in one of those units. There's going to be a narrative break in the combats soon, and Kraken is going to see Lynk. The memories will come back. And more importantly, Lynk is going to be staring at Kraken. Because.||
||They have CAUSTIC in their mech. ||

[hybrid salmon]

thinking more about mackenzie
like the idea that two of her 128 (plus some polyamory ig) five-great-grandparents came to calliope exiled from a Karrakin whatever dispute two hundred fifty-ish years before current day, used their money to set up a little unofficial fiefdom among Hell's Gate hydroponics, and the family still works hydroponics, bears that name, and practices an increasingly decayed version of their traditions (mostly a vague sense of self-importance). might still need workshopping but feels good enough to build on.

bonus points if the family still exists in the karrakin side as well and their contacts are so full of strained faux-diplomacy

[upbeat hemlock]

I'd be interested in hearing more about Calamity as one of my players wishes to romance her in our game

And while obviously as GM I can just make shit up

I like using the shit other people make up

[willow needle]

Morning calliope

[thorn hinge]

I've written up a bunch of it not too long ago, but I might take some time to compile it all into a doc soon

Mornin naana!

[balmy obsidian]

Mornin indeed

[upbeat hemlock]

Good late afternoon

[past agate]

One singular onion. That’s your bizarre calliope finding of the month

[balmy obsidian]

Fucking score
Time to make onion powder

[upbeat hemlock]

My housemate/pauedo-brother-in-law/friend brought home 10kg of onions this week

If I could send some of them to calliope I would

[upbeat hemlock]

Do the militia have a colour scheme in y'alls games?

I don't think there's a canon one

[minor orchid]

Half of an onion... peeled

[minor orchid]

Teleport them to the illness!

[minor orchid]

You can do it... it's possible!

[tame tide]

[minor orchid]

[tame tide]

Hello

[ancient crag]

Howdy

[tame tide]

Why do disieases always need to be contracted when thinggs happen

[ancient crag]

Because an evil gremlin known as “Fate” intervenes

[minor orchid]

Fucking agree-

it's always then

[balmy obsidian]

There is no fate but the one that we make for ourselves and also that one franchise that forcefemmed King Arthur

[amber viper]

It was a real good blink charge tho

[minor orchid]

[balmy obsidian]

Never heard of Saber from Fate?

Actually I came to check if there were any cool tokens for Signal or anything.

[formal gale]

Basically that yea

I have a good token but not at home sorry friend

[noble ivy]

-# sorry if it's still incomprehensible

[kindred zodiac]

[prime terrace]

[formal gale]

Oh dang I didn't have that one! That's sick!

[kindred zodiac]

I am still confused about the cowboy hat, but it's great 😂

I was going to make some similar looking ones for Grunt Controllers to toss into the fight (The Rebake grunts)

Something that just looks so flimsy it would fall over if it were in atmo lol

[formal gale]

[balmy obsidian]

I approve of the joke

[formal gale]

Ah Leo not sure if you saw the character summaries from yesterday, but I figured you'd be happy to know one of my players is going to be a forever chomo

[balmy obsidian]

I did not because I can't read and wall of texts scare me
however
Good

[formal gale]

All it took was one code pulse and he went "Yeah lich is cool but that was cooler"

[balmy obsidian]

Yeah that's the ticket

[clever cloud]

league of legends player detected

[balmy obsidian]

Death.

[noble ivy]

[tame tide]

I approve of the joke

[shell bison]

oh good heavens

[hearty whale]

Was thinking IGF, thinking clone characters, started imagining a Steele clone character, and decided that was such an awful idea he needed an entire team of similarly awful ideas. Posted to the Leviathans group chat and they thought that the IGF thread should see it. So.. this is my attempt at

The Worst HG SRT

• Steele backup clone, enough memory transfer problems they're not Steele level asshole, but still a tremendous asshole
• NHPhobic Egregorian Golden Lämp Cultist who keeps throwing themselves into fire and saying "hear me out" about Ignatius
• HA NHP who definitely wasn't part of the (Act2)||Sunzi|| project haha they're not called (Act2)||SLEIPNIR|| or anything aha
• Nestor native combatant, later Hell Hounds pirate, who never forgave Union and their strike team
• Streamer custom-engineered by SSC for omninet algorithm optimisation, commissioned by House Aniline for PR reasons

[minor orchid]

And you know what?

they would certainly work... to a certain extend haha

[hearty whale]

I just wanted the most drama possible

[formal gale]

Eyy don't put that on me! I quit years ago!

[noble ivy]

saying "hear me out" about Ignatius
Let's be honest, most SRT's already has this person in the squad

also, Who wants to host a remix game with Calliope's worst blunt rotation?

[balmy obsidian]

You can take the Legend out of the League, but you can't take the League out of the LEgend.
Or something.

[minor orchid]

Sometimes... that's the best you got

[steady adder]

@balmy obsidian you already play Laplace, this "Steele" shouldnt be too much of a difference

[noble ivy]

ah damn... i wanted to play the steele clone...

[balmy obsidian]

Please.

Playing a genuine asshole is too hard for me

[hearty whale]

Jerry looking as Steele-wearing-fake-glasses-and-nose, a giant bug, a jittery subaltern proxy, an ex-pirate and Mr Beast volunteer to guard his station

[minor orchid]

gotta say more? hehe

[balmy obsidian]

(I refuse to put any more effort than that on this picture)

[minor orchid]

RODY COPPER?!

[noble ivy]

Jerry's "It could always be worse" mug shatters in his hands the moment they enter his office

[balmy obsidian]

The caption changes to "It isn't getting any worse"

[minor orchid]

HORUS limited edition "It isn't getting any worse" now available on calliope

[clever cloud]

IGF remix game but Jerry and Steele are swapped

[balmy obsidian]

Kill

[minor orchid]

EVIL JERRY?!

[hearty whale]

I'm... weirdly interested

[balmy obsidian]

Well, Jerry is a white man...

[willow needle]

evil jerry: gets 8 hours of sleep

[clever cloud]

Steele was in (ch5) ||Nestor|| and Jerry is (act 2) ||somehow abusive of PANOPTES||

[noble ivy]

-# Is it bad that now I can't stop thinking about how I can play a Steele clone PC...

[clever cloud]

NOBODY CLICK THAT

[noble ivy]

GM ONLY MOTHER FUCKERS

[minor orchid]

PFFF

[willow needle]

you didnt specify which campaign one had to be GM of....so i clicked it.....whacchu gonna do bout it

[clever cloud]

S1GN4L and Striga swapped

[west phoenix]

its me....

[hearty whale]

It's an interesting character concept!
I unironically would play any of that SRT, I just wanted to pile on as much drama as I could engineer in one space with what I know of the plot so far and fill out as much of the bingo card as I could at the same time

[noble ivy]

combat two tpk lets go!

[minor orchid]

I can see that tho-

[clever cloud]

Oh my god.. ||PANOPTES|| and Shelly

[minor orchid]

oh

well

[clever cloud]

Hell's Gate ||PANOPTES|| sounds like a true industrial horror

[balmy obsidian]

Tag your spoilers

[clever cloud]

IGF REMIX BUT YALL ARE IMPACT DYNAMIC'S SRT

[minor orchid]

THEY HAVE ONE OF THOSE?! /jk

what are we now, riot control?!

[balmy obsidian]

Step one : Overthrow the government

[clever cloud]

Hell's Gate is center of industry so they have the same stranglehold on the system

[steady adder]

[noble ivy]

-# my next IGF character is Steele clone but she gets saved by estrogen confirmed

[minor orchid]

FORCEFEM SAVES DICKS

[hearty whale]

Oh Steele would NOT be saved
She would be worse
But I wanna see it

[clever cloud]

Steele is the one motherfucker CONFIRMED to be made worse by estrogen

[noble ivy]

but what about his clone?

[balmy obsidian]

I would be worse with Estrogen I think

[clever cloud]

do it

[balmy obsidian]

You think I can be an unsufferable bitch wait till I have boobs

[noble ivy]

or don't

[west phoenix]

im waiting
