Project Moon Games: Lobcorp, Ruina, Etc.

[neat cedar]

these aren don's normal eyes

[faint pivot]

Okay we get more of Don in a skirt which is a plus and it makes me squint at InDon a tad

[faint pivot]

Wait how so

...they're...amber?

[neat cedar]

Don's eyes have stars

or are nore vertical.slits

[faint pivot]

O h

[neat cedar]

they are not usually that round

[cloud wadi]

She lost the spark in her eyes

[neat cedar]

jesus fuck man

[faint pivot]

Does ManaDon lose the stars too?

[cloud wadi]

Her will is entirely aligned with that of the Index

Mana Don has the bloodfiend eyes

[neat cedar]

^

[faint pivot]

RIGHT LMAO

[neat cedar]

KJH fuckinnreally aaid "ya'll thought, huh"

"Though i'd be predictable"

Man

demian is going to fuck chew us out

[cloud wadi]

This does feel like

[neat cedar]

so fuckin badly

[cloud wadi]

Index apprentice id

[neat cedar]

i'd agree but

the lack.of a sword

[cloud wadi]

Or maybe just a random index proxy I dunnow

[neat cedar]

which every other apprentice had

makes me hesitate

[cloud wadi]

To be fair index father also uses a sword

[neat cedar]

Ye

[ebon forge]

she's so cute tho

[neat cedar]

Like, every memebr of thebhouse

[cloud wadi]

So I guess as an alternative she could be a totally random index proxy

[neat cedar]

seems likely to utilize a sword

[split beacon]

Hold up

This is a Proxy

For sure

[cloud wadi]

Yeah

[neat cedar]

ye

[cloud wadi]

No blindfold

[neat cedar]

she has the fuckin

collar

[cloud wadi]

So not a proselyte

[neat cedar]

the cloak

[split beacon]

Literally non-arguable even outside of the blindfold

[cloud wadi]

Got the chains too

[neat cedar]

mhmm

[cloud wadi]

Which I think only proxies get

[split beacon]

Because she has the proxy signature of custom personal weapons

[ebon forge]

wait whats the like "hierarchy"

[neat cedar]

i am scared

[split beacon]

Over the generic Proselyte sword

[ebon forge]

ik the index's hierarchy isnt exactly a thing

[cloud wadi]

Proselyte

Proxy

Messenger

Weaver

[split beacon]

There is a loose hierarchy

[ebon forge]

thx

[cloud wadi]

Proxies get to command proselytes

[neat cedar]

Messmeger isn't strictly higher

[ebon forge]

oh god

[split beacon]

Proselytes at the bottom, Proxy is about equal to Messenger with different responsibilities

Weavers are outside of the system

[cloud wadi]

Yeah

Weavers are theoretically at the top but aren’t really given any authority

[split beacon]

I guess also roughly on the same tier as Proxy and Messenger in terms of being specialized tools of the Index over generic weaponry

[ebon forge]

ngl pt. 02 is gonna ruin us all

[cloud wadi]

They are more of the technician who keeps the system moving smoothly

[split beacon]

Does this mean the next banner is only one ID

[cloud wadi]

Since the system runs itself mostly

[faint pivot]

InDon drops at the same time as part 2 😭

[faint pivot]

Likely

[cloud wadi]

Wouldn’t be a surprise methinks

[faint pivot]

Considering N Sang was solo banner too

[cloud wadi]

Given Faust zilu was a solo banner

[faint pivot]

And he's from part 2 too iirc

[ebon forge]

im only level 60

[faint pivot]

Oh true

[cloud wadi]

That was Faust Zilu

[split beacon]

N Sang was a bonus 4th banner actually lol

Which is just a thing now I guess

[ebon forge]

also

ruina people

[faint pivot]

Huh

[faint pivot]

Yea?

[ebon forge]

do any of yall know what could cause don's claws

[split beacon]

Yeah

Proxies have unique weapons made just for them

[ebon forge]

like, ik lolang's qoh corro is weird asf

[cloud wadi]

Ego maybe

[faint pivot]

More than a sword

[ebon forge]

yeah i was thinking an EGO thing

god pt 2 is gonna be HORRIFYING

[cloud wadi]

It reminds me of Ezra actually

[faint pivot]

Who knows tbh

[faint pivot]

Yeah that's the 3rd thing

[cloud wadi]

Her ego allows her to summon claws

[split beacon]

I fuck with the theme they have going with the Index IDs

[ebon forge]

index ids fucking slap

also

i really like the new direction for ryoshu's canto

[split beacon]

Index [Character]: [Theme Object]

[ebon forge]

kickstart the canto via IDs and characters relevant in the prior canto

hit us with IDs that give more context to the story

multiple factions that work in their own teams

[cloud wadi]

I hear Esgoo yelling at cloud for 40 minutes again

[ebon forge]

but can ultimately, theoretically, become a single team (somehow)

ngl i dont watch esgoo or any limbustuber

[faint pivot]

It feels like a perfectly fitting corrode to me tbh

You take on Queenie's true form

[ebon forge]

oh yeah i mean weird in the sense of like

[neat cedar]

if that is ego

[cloud wadi]

Don Quixote in a skirt though

[ebon forge]

fucked up

[faint pivot]

Again

[neat cedar]

then i could very well explain the corrosion of mirror worlds

becayse

[faint pivot]

We are graced with skirt Don twice

[neat cedar]

it would, by necessoty

[faint pivot]

The huh???

[neat cedar]

be overriding her base ego, innit?

[cloud wadi]

Involve awareness of Carmen

[ebon forge]

don has nice thighs

[neat cedar]

then again, spicebrush

so maybe not

[faint pivot]

Is that what the glitches are meant to represent? Damn

[neat cedar]

likely

Demian told us

there are consequences

for what Limbus is doing

[ebon forge]

glitches like that, seemingly censoring things

[cloud wadi]

Carmen told us that we aren’t ready to view certain things

[ebon forge]

it feels like being denied access to the true light of things

[faint pivot]

White box censoring is-yeah Carmen's doing

[ebon forge]

xichun ish's uptie iirc

[faint pivot]

Yes

[split beacon]

I think the glitches are probably not that this time

[cloud wadi]

No I don’t think Carmen censors things

It’s just

[faint pivot]

The glitches is a first time thing

[cloud wadi]

We literally can’t comprehend what we see

[neat cedar]

Yeah it's not carmen doing this

[split beacon]

And represent that Don Quixote is dissociating and treating herself as a machine

To function as a Proxy

[neat cedar]

but it's def on a similar vibe

[ebon forge]

carmen literally censored stuff before

or

[neat cedar]

and again

[faint pivot]

Talking about prior instances of censoring

Not this preview

[cloud wadi]

No she’s saying “oh, guess we can’t look at that yet”

[neat cedar]

Don staring right into the 4th wall

[ebon forge]

great

[cloud wadi]

Not that she’s covering up stuff so you can’t see

[neat cedar]

not at a person

[ebon forge]

so whats censoring it then?

[neat cedar]

at us

[split beacon]

Mirror malfunction basically

[neat cedar]

^

[cloud wadi]

Yeah

Instability

[faint pivot]

Hmm

[neat cedar]

it's corroded data

[faint pivot]

I guess that tracks

[ebon forge]

huhhhhhhhhhh

[split beacon]

We’re trying to pull out an ID that’s too far out

[ebon forge]

thats fucked up

[faint pivot]

What with how we can make stuff out

[neat cedar]

very

[cloud wadi]

It’s a world that shouldn’t exit

But does

[faint pivot]

I mean that part works

It's jusr

[cloud wadi]

Naturally highly volatile and unstable

[ebon forge]

It could not be helped. You are a sc■■■ of the Jia Family; you must have had no ■■■■■ ■■ visit U Corp. even once.

[faint pivot]

It's like seeing the aftermath of Allegory

[faint pivot]

It being mirror instability rather than explicit censorship tracks with how we can make out some words

[ebon forge]

mmm

[cloud wadi]

Carmen implies that we are, through our observation, imposing certain expectations on the mirror world

To allow things that shouldn’t happen happen

However when things shift too much uh

Things can get a bit unstable

[split beacon]

To be precise she’s confirming something Demian already implied

[cloud wadi]

Yeah

[ebon forge]

lore is a pita

[cloud wadi]

Observation through mirrors change the mirror worlds

[faint pivot]

Is it like how we can't probe the IDs for more info than what their voice lines give us

Where the connection is too frail to convey much more?

[split beacon]

Though it’s kinda unclear if we’re changing the mirror world or if we’re overreaching how far Mephistopheles can reach with the extraction engine

[neat cedar]

probably both

Observation can cauae changes in matter

[faint pivot]

Where, with InDon or Xishmael?

[ebon forge]

i wonder how one crosses mirror worlds

[neat cedar]

in quantum.mechanics and shit

[ebon forge]

wildhunt heathcliff can cross em

[faint pivot]

Canto 6 says it plainly

[ebon forge]

but idk how

[split beacon]

Misunderstanding of quantum physics

[neat cedar]

[faint pivot]

You don't, you project yourself via establishing contact on the other side with mirror tech

[quaint cliff]

So.

[split beacon]

What quantum physics is talking about is that certain properties of systems cannot be measured without changing them and invalidating the reading

[quaint cliff]

DonQui in a skirt and thigh highs.

[quaint cliff]

This will surely result in normal behavior

[faint pivot]

Chained up

[ebon forge]

i dont know why

but

[faint pivot]

Collared too, hell

[ebon forge]

https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/the-talk-3

i feel like this is relevant

[faint pivot]

One could go so far as to say she's in a school uniform too

Badly, but one can stretch it enough at least

[ebon forge]

im going to be dreaming about this don tonight

[faint pivot]

Incredible how the text goes "Ah"

[ebon forge]

shes so dead inside and so so cute

[faint pivot]

Like she spotted her target

[ebon forge]

prescript that says "marry the next person you see and have a happy family" (she's looking into the ca-)

time to go frame by frame

[faint pivot]

Two marks of the prescript, first and last

This is 100% the Index apprentice

[ebon forge]

so she's lust pride gloom

speed range probably 3-7, or self-haste

[faint pivot]

Pride s1, lust s2, gloom s3

Awfully similar to Ramdon 😭

[ebon forge]

yep, also, whats the shield about now...

istg if bad end ryoshu is a shield/protection manipulator

[faint pivot]

Doesn't InFau have this too

[quaint cliff]

hold on a goddamn second

[ebon forge]

i dunno

[quaint cliff]

THE YELLOW ONE

[faint pivot]

You may be thinking of the ah, other yellow one

[cloud wadi]

Index Faust has the same shield effect yes

[ebon forge]

i dont have her (yet)

[cloud wadi]

As long as they keep obeying the prescripts they get shield when they use counter

[ebon forge]

gotcha

[quaint cliff]

Was there another yellow one? There’s Neru, Rin and Len…

Someone that starts with A?

[ebon forge]

thats neru

akita neru lmao

[quaint cliff]

Ogey that’s what I thought

Oh

well I’m sure I’m not forgetting anyone relevant

[ebon forge]

also does faust just eat her own fucking vocal cords?

[faint pivot]

No I'm saying InDon resembles Rin more

[faint pivot]

Elaborate

[ebon forge]

index faust uptie

[faint pivot]

Oh I don't have her yet

Mb

[ebon forge]

me too lol

ngl index team is basically winrate 2

[faint pivot]

What if her Index specialty weapon copies EGO

[ebon forge]

oh fuck

that would be insanity

[faint pivot]

Like long shot but

[split beacon]

?

[ebon forge]

put skill on skill

no braincell

just do it

:)

[faint pivot]

Meursault's the only sinner who's EGO'd on his own

He'll probably do it again

[ebon forge]

also can i just say that i fucking love limbus

[faint pivot]

Meanwhile...haven't read DD but Ezra seems the type to let that loose first sign of trouble she can't solve with her body

[split beacon]

Broke: win rate 2
Woke: I go where the Prescript points

[ebon forge]

i also really wanna kiss don now

[faint pivot]

I like how the Prescript is kind enough to share its deets with Dante

[ebon forge]

my wife is still faust the prescript told me to

[split beacon]

We move as the Prescript directs us (p+enter)

[ebon forge]

REAL

[faint pivot]

Would be funny if the Index IDs get debuffs when we eventually fight the Index apprentice

[ebon forge]

also

hilarious thing faust

dante doesnt have an earlobe

but he can smile???

or something??????????

[faint pivot]

She's referring to someone else

Wouldn't be the first time Dante is a 3rd person iirc

[ebon forge]

ah yeah

[quaint cliff]

where the hell is Yuria btw I need non-DD readers to give me fanart

[faint pivot]

Yuria...

Euryalos?

No way right

Don't answer that actually lmao

[quaint cliff]

sorry I stylized it wrong, YuRia

[ebon forge]

whats interesting is how index faust is kinda hated by the faustcord

[split beacon]

Some crimes can never be forgiven

[ebon forge]

but they're forced to give her info

[quaint cliff]

Indicating that they’re bound by some kind of rules?

[faint pivot]

Why was Yuri Fau cut off, I wonder

[split beacon]

Not enough useful info

[faint pivot]

...what if: on-command Distort?

[ebon forge]

she became worthless because lob corp fell, iirc

[faint pivot]

For InDon?

[ebon forge]

also

there's only 4 sinking here, right?

[faint pivot]

TECHNICALLY five

Oh wait

[ebon forge]

r ish + rodya + hong, jefe,

[faint pivot]

Counted Heath

Mb, no

[ebon forge]

yeah

[faint pivot]

Enough Rupture tho

[split beacon]

I bet the deal of Faust’s collective is like

You HAVE to trade if the collective doesn’t have knowledge already

[ebon forge]

wdym trade

[split beacon]

So even if someone is a dipshit asshole who ignores rational enlightened self-interest and moves according to blind faith

[ebon forge]

also

[split beacon]

As long as that Faust brings in privileged info for the collective, they get access to Faust

[ebon forge]

if don is the index apprentice

thats going to be scary implications

[ebon forge]

oh yeah true

also, fuck the faustcord

rude bitches ngl

[split beacon]

Have you ever seen Mephistopheles the daemon comports himself

God: “how are things”
Mephistopheles: “all is downright bad, Lord”

[ebon forge]

wdym

[split beacon]

The Faust collective is clearly parallel to Mephistopheles the daemon of Dr Faustus

And Mephistopheles

[ebon forge]

oh yeah

[split beacon]

Is a sassy bitch

[ebon forge]

was talking about this line

ngl tho i love how petty faust is

i love how people all agree that n faust is a freakazoid

[worthy haven]

Mephistopheles is the real deal

[split beacon]

He gives God, from the Bible, shit for creating everything

Smack talks the Lord

[worthy haven]

Ye cause he is the opposite

As he himself puts it

[split beacon]

He is the spirit that negates

[worthy haven]

“I am the spirit that negates.
And rightly so, for all that comes to be
Deserves to perish wretchedly;
'Twere better nothing would begin.
Thus everything that that your terms, sin,
Destruction, evil represent—
That is my proper element.”

[split beacon]

For all that comes to be, deserves to perish-

Yeah it’s my status lol

[worthy haven]

It's so good

[split beacon]

Anyways Faust Limbus clearly has been granted a little bit of Mephistopheles’s petty sass

And ridiculous oneupmanship

[ebon forge]

she deserves it

[split beacon]

If you think about it, it only makes sense for Hohenheim to be her rival, being a virtuous and successful alchemist

(Paracelsus)

[worthy haven]

The constant pulling in different directions regarding Faust gah

It will be really interesting to actually see where they land

[ebon forge]

whatever it is faust is gonna crash tf out and im gonna savour every seond of it

[quaint cliff]

She’s got so many similarities to Yan that it makes me wonder if all Index Distortions have some kind of common theme

Or

Hm.

Hohenheim said that an untreated Distortion will eventually progress to a full-blown Abnormality. Which means that EGO gear could be extracted from them…

What if Yan never undistorted and got picked back up by the Index who started doing shit to him?

Imagine being the unlocky sod who gets a Prescript to milk the Yabno

[neat cedar]

shiiiiit

if that is the cade

oh fuck

[faint pivot]

Wording 😭

You're COOKING, that aside

[quaint cliff]

I know what I said

[faint pivot]

...what if InDon isn't using EGO gear

But "channeling" it like we do in Limbus and Ruina? Hence why it's temporary?

[quaint cliff]

Maybe it’s not EGO gear but just straight up Effloresced EGO?

[faint pivot]

We're finding out in...an entire week, I suppose

If ||Ring NF didn't finish their sword||

Who gave Ryo her odachi?

||I'm debating between Pinkie (don't see what else ties her to them, plus all members on screen seemingly have their own unique blade) and Thumb (their NF has something close, and the KK clan head was bestowed an odachi hence why they use em)||

[quaint cliff]

damn that was fast

[ebon forge]

roich on the t corp clock

[ebon forge]

PARTY EVERLASTING HONG

TRUST

[faint pivot]

Huh

[ebon forge]

jesus christ i just saw one of the most absolutely fuckedup bad takes ever

"canto 9 part 1 is an intervello plot"

and the logic

• not focusing on ryoshu
• not at the place of the canto yet
• introduces the plot needed to progress + characters

bruh

how tf you misread the canto that had

literally the whole thing is bringing into play ryoshu's traumas and why she's the way she is

the invasion just happens to be tying the whole game being played together

[faint pivot]

I close my eyes to evil

By the way

Ain't it rather petty

Of the ||Pinkie NF to stay mute||

And presumably, for the ||Index NF to keep his face burnt||

[ebon forge]

NF?

[faint pivot]

Nursefather

[ebon forge]

oh nursefather

[faint pivot]

I'll admit it wasn't the clearest but we can see that ||Index NF has his left arm back||

The Thumb regularly replace their tongues as noted by Thumbclair's UT story (iirc)

[neat cedar]

. . .

ya lnow

excellent point

[faint pivot]

Maybe petty isn't the right word

But really now?

[neat cedar]

no, petty works

My read on Index NF

is very petty

[faint pivot]

Okay yeah spending several years intentionally impaired when the means to undo that is very reachable and something you're fine with beforehand sounds petty

[neat cedar]

with that stunt they pulled

||Hey sweetheart, how did your reviews go||

Extreme rage baiting

[faint pivot]

I have to wonder

What fuels the rage of ||Pinkie NF for her to raise an entire apprentice while mute AND berate him to the point of cynicism||

What event, what happenings

[neat cedar]

||Motherhood||

||Unwanted Motherhood, seems like||

[faint pivot]

Humu

A remark by Valencina confuses me

[neat cedar]

||Like for both Pinky and Valencia the core of their anger seems to be at being handed an unwanted burden||

[faint pivot]

Cause she said ||"maybe I wanted her before"||

[faint pivot]

Okay I guess this is still the answer either way

[neat cedar]

||Might have once had a fondness but it didn't over come her disdain||

[faint pivot]

Even if none of them were bio parents the story remains unchanged

[neat cedar]

mhmm

[ebon forge]

classical abusive parenting

[faint pivot]

Aha yeah

[ebon forge]

often times there's stuff like placing absurdist expectations because of the [other children]

[faint pivot]

Misinterpreted that as solely Valencina siring her

[ebon forge]

and things like, "i love you, but conditionally"

[faint pivot]

Which most seemingly do to their apprentices

[ebon forge]

and making those conditions impossible

[faint pivot]

Save Ring and Middle...and Index but that's just cause we haven't seen 'em yet

Speaking of Index

[ebon forge]

middle's kid seems surprisingly well adjusted

[faint pivot]

That's the power of anime for ya

[ebon forge]

albeit a little neglected, imo?

the poise kid, i think... pinky, right?

[neat cedar]

maybe

[faint pivot]

Anyway...is the naming scheme "The Index [position]: [prescript medium]"?

[ebon forge]

he seems perfectly content

like

[neat cedar]

she def is seeking attention

[ebon forge]

just like

":)"

[faint pivot]

Obsessed maybe

[ebon forge]

on the surface level though

[faint pivot]

Then again that might be a coping mechanism for the neglect

[ebon forge]

very hong lu vibes

istg tho if you give me another pure poise hongler

[faint pivot]

I got this too but more as like a ":|"

[neat cedar]

Ring seems pretty chill tbh

if, ya know

weird

but also

Ring

[ebon forge]

its the hongler :)

not a normal :)

the smile thats like, happy, but not a true happy

[faint pivot]

The self-deprecation isn't a Hongler thing

[neat cedar]

I am considering that rhe Ring father

[faint pivot]

And pal does not seem happy calling himself useless

[neat cedar]

may have been the only likr

positive parent Ryoshu had

for a given value of positive

because of all of the encounters

[ebon forge]

mmmm yeah

[neat cedar]

he's the only one she asked to see, and whom she lacks a negative reaction too

[faint pivot]

Honestly funny considering all the slaughter they conduct

[neat cedar]

also

Limbus twitter is funny

[faint pivot]

Probably the one with the highest body count cause of the size of their influence (numerous bodies) and an actual need (numerous bodies)

[neat cedar]

half of the posts are freaking iut

the other half are calling PJM perverts

though that might be

[faint pivot]

Roflmao

[neat cedar]

due to twitter's translate tweaking things

but yeah

[faint pivot]

MagiDon is 10000% fine apparently

[cosmic gorge]

whatd the translate do rhis time

[faint pivot]

I'm laughing that tidbit off, too hilarious even if it was true

[neat cedar]

People don't realize that Limbus has always been a fan service game

[ebon forge]

grok is good at horny, and, like, horny

[neat cedar]

i dunno

just a lot of i assume korean tweets going, basically

"Ayo, why is she in a skirt and thigh highs"

because, tbf

[cosmic gorge]

the filth of the muskrat stains his mechanical progeny

[ebon forge]

ah yeah

[neat cedar]

that is def an odd choice for a limbus id

[faint pivot]

In more ways than one

[ebon forge]

qoh:

[faint pivot]

Cause yeah

[neat cedar]

Yeah but she's a magical.girl

[faint pivot]

MagiDon is, imho

A LOT worse

[neat cedar]

so that is less of a weird swerve than an index id showing up in a pseudo school.girl.ourfit

[faint pivot]

Take lass outside the context of magical girl like they're doing with InDon

[neat cedar]

i mean

tbf

don is also

chained up

[ebon forge]

index don's thing isnt all that bad though imo

[neat cedar]

lookong unwell

[jaunty jay]

Index Don seems modest (compared) to what previous Index outfits had.

[neat cedar]

souless eyes

[faint pivot]

True, I pointed that out even

[ebon forge]

it's a shirt, vest, and a skirt with thigh highs

it's limbus's art style changing things up imo

[faint pivot]

I'll have to say that I think it's the other way around

But like...this isn't that bad yea

[neat cedar]

Yeah previous index is just suits

or gloria being a robot

[faint pivot]

Suit plus cape

And yea

[neat cedar]

but yeah

curiois design choices

funny reactions

curious what rhe IF preview is gonna be

considering thay

thr trailer showed jack

[ebon forge]

this is pretty... normal imo?

[atomic steeple]

I need to check back on the teacher don x mom ryoshu fic

[cosmic gorge]

its kinda normal really
in my head i can see it not being so but only if you point it out

[neat cedar]

i think some people are just reactinf to the whole "chained up girl.ina tropey outfit" vibe

i brought it up.mainly ad a funny anecdote

[ebon forge]

like

[faint pivot]

Methinks it's a waste of energy to go beyond thinking your own thoughts on the matter and discarding the topic with a laugh, tbh

[ebon forge]

you see my vision?

[neat cedar]

don't really.need to dive into it thay deeply

[faint pivot]

Cause yea it is in fact funny

[faint pivot]

I do but beyond that is Odyssey Chat material lmao

[ebon forge]

now im curious

[cosmic gorge]

keep this place clean

[ebon forge]

wait

limbustaker

awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[cosmic gorge]

yea ive seen that

sup snowviper

[neat cedar]

but yeah

[ebon forge]

gregor

[neat cedar]

wild ID trailer

[atomic steeple]

Pepe detected, kill him

[faint pivot]

Limbustaker...takes whole bus, Mephi included

[ebon forge]

lmao

[neat cedar]

and makes me scared of what act 2 will.be

[cosmic gorge]

oh yeah the frog must die

we must abide by the rules

[ebon forge]

i still cant remember why pepe is ban

[faint pivot]

Thankies

[neat cedar]

co opted alt right vibes

[ebon forge]

oh

[neat cedar]

is the long and short

sucks but it be how it be

[faint pivot]

Methinks "the alt right co opted it" is more accurate considering how distraught the OG artist was but yeye

[neat cedar]

that's what i meant

[ebon forge]

i wonder wtf happened to index don to break her like that

[neat cedar]

Nothing good

[ebon forge]

like, her thing is sueno imposible

[jaunty jay]

With the Mersault ID similarities, and dialogue, I suspect the glitchy parts will be terrifying.

[ebon forge]

yeah

[cosmic gorge]

i mean don also broke while working a 9-5 on a warp train

[ebon forge]

ok but thats working a 9-5

[neat cedar]

that wadn't quite breaking

not the same as this

like

even in some of don's worse states

sge was still like, Don

[ebon forge]

yeah w don is just...

[neat cedar]

but this ID feels like the prescript

[jaunty jay]

This is like, getting beaten into a mold like Hong Lu levels

[ebon forge]

a little heartbroken

[neat cedar]

and by that measurez thr Will of the City

has gotten into her head

[cosmic gorge]

that sure is me

[neat cedar]

especially with the like

digital

dogital

device

oh my god

that's what that mist mean

[cosmic gorge]

mm?

[neat cedar]

the delivery system of the prescript

Faust is a paper slip proselyte

and Don is a [Device] Proxy

[faint pivot]

This ???? uses The Device as her delivery medium

[neat cedar]

ye

[faint pivot]

Proxy is unclear since wdk the NF ranks

[neat cedar]

I mean

Inde xranks

are pretty cut and dry

[cosmic gorge]

oh shes fucking with the diagetic device we use to extract ids to deliver prescripts?

[faint pivot]

And well, her ID card has a censored 4 letter word

[neat cedar]

so inless she's something new

[faint pivot]

I SURE HOPE NOT

[neat cedar]

i'm gunna call.her a proxy

[faint pivot]

She technically is considering how all NF are new

And by proxy (heh) their apprentices are

[neat cedar]

yeah but the NF

are all members of their respective fingers

they don't have an internal hierarchy as far as we've seen

[faint pivot]

Their ranks in their home finger unclear is what I meant (beyond "officer")

[neat cedar]

Again

Withnthe index

itnis a lot simpler

because it really is mainly jist

Proselyte(who are blindfoled) and Proxy(whonare not)

[faint pivot]

Yeah it's cut and dry for that section I'm saying this is a wholly different slice

[neat cedar]

i don't think we have much reason to assume so

and thus, just feelmit's easier to just call.her a proxy

[faint pivot]

All NF have swords, seemingly in spite of i.e. the Middle's insistence on enhancement tattoo-focused fighting and the Ring's diversity

[neat cedar]

until we get some sort ofnclarification

[faint pivot]

True

[neat cedar]

yes, and this don

Does not

[faint pivot]

I'm mostly riffing off of this since it's interesting

[neat cedar]

Likenit's why i don't think this is an apprentice either

she notavle does not have anynkind of sword anything

[faint pivot]

Well

Oh right they do all have swords too

[neat cedar]

so i don't think she's apart of the spider house

[faint pivot]

Forgot about that

[faint pivot]

So she's from a 3rd pie?

Interesting

[ebon forge]

unless she IS the sword

[neat cedar]

potentially

butni'm not gonna assume

[faint pivot]

There's precedence at least

[neat cedar]

since design wise

[faint pivot]

With EGO being ||Kong Qiu's Pinkie blade||

[neat cedar]

they've been consistent on that this canto

[faint pivot]

And the ||Index NF wielding more than swords||

[atomic steeple]

So is hermann poseidon
Or gregor has a sugar daddy?

[faint pivot]

Hermann could be a sugar mommy

[neat cedar]

i could see herman being poseidon

[faint pivot]

Laughing cause that sentence is the first of its name in my headspace

[neat cedar]

She'a definitely

standing innthe way ofnoutis at the moment

even if not directly

[faint pivot]

Say

Has a canto's future been foreshadowed with an ID preview like this before

Or what's the word

[atomic steeple]

She has ego?

[faint pivot]

Future/s been gestured at?

By the time Maost and N Sang came out I wasn't at canto 8 yet so I wouldn't know

[neat cedar]

guess tomatiom based on some stuff frommthe trailr

and leaks

[faint pivot]

S3-2 shows claw marks and plays cutting sounds

...hey wait

[neat cedar]

notnreally, no

[faint pivot]

Y'know how ||Bloodfiends are noted to have a "true form"||

And how awfully sharp Nosferatu and 400 Roses are

I can't help but think that's what's been sharpened

[neat cedar]

"The prescript demands you kick off the jayz"

[faint pivot]

With how buckwild the Index is portrayed here

[faint pivot]

@atomic steeple

Tis is what she uses apparently

[atomic steeple]

Bdsm don
The index great weapon

[faint pivot]

Or rather, turns into

They're probably not tapping into ||Don's lineage now that I'm seeing this again||

[neat cedar]

prob not, ye

[faint pivot]

Gentle reminder that there's gonna be someone else rocking this fit next week

...just realized how simple this is to cosplay

And easy to recognize it is

💯

So many questions

[atomic steeple]

Lust eh

[faint pivot]

I ain't making it to next week 😭

[atomic steeple]

Don thighs ❤️

[atomic steeple]

Neru costs 600 shards

[neat cedar]

Limbus twitter, already extremely normal about Don

will cleaely be even more normal now

[faint pivot]

Have to wonder if the chains of others limit the prescripts sent to InDon

[cosmic gorge]

when has twitter been normal

[faint pivot]

Or if she just takes those off sometimes

Also...huh, Meur really is slamming people with his actual hands

[atomic steeple]

Excrucian ass guy

[faint pivot]

With the chains around them sure but still

[cosmic gorge]

i have to jump through uncessary hoops (log in to my accursed account) to see what theyre talking about
curse muskrat and the pungent filth of his grasp upon the internet

[atomic steeple]

Valência and pinky father as her biological parents

[neat cedar]

i'm curious how digital prescripts even work

[cosmic gorge]

analog horror shit

idk

[neat cedar]

as it seems.to cut out

[cosmic gorge]

we're due for shit like that no

[neat cedar]

the messenger role all tovether

does this mean she has a reader of the will of the city in her collar?

a closer relationship with it?

[cloud wadi]

Maybe she receives it by radio

Honestly the general pose reminds me of Yan Page

So could be a Messenger yeah

[neat cedar]

lot of Ruina vibes this canto

from rolex to udjat to.this

[cloud wadi]

She’s the Yan in a skirt that everyone wanted to see

[jaunty jay]

Feels like an attack-dog/berserker unit of the Index with the digital(?) prescripts, and chains.

[neat cedar]

mhmm

[cloud wadi]

Well chains is the general vibe of index

[neat cedar]

it's a lotnless

like

*chill

[cloud wadi]

Yeah

[neat cedar]

than the index usually is

[cloud wadi]

Well she seems analogous to Gloria

[neat cedar]

maybe

but even gloria didn't just

yeet herself at people like a mad dog

the way this Don fights is borderline feral

[cloud wadi]

She did yeet people towards her like a mad dog catcher

And crack open doors to kill people

But yeah given

Index proxies are usually more finesse fighters

Than uh

Physique

I do wonder if she is the index apprentice

Since Don’s thing is being a child expected to carry on their parent’s burdens

It might mean Ryoshu’s daughter became the index apprentice in Ryoshu’s place in our world?

That might also explain why this preview is so fucked

If Don is Ryoshu’s daughter in that universe

Reality would be all kinds of fucked

[cosmic gorge]

Carmen: this is some wild ass fanfic that's being Observed here, but suuure

[faint pivot]

I find this scene lovely tbh

Orchestrated terrifically by ||having the shock & awe let Hohenheim witness LCA effectiveness, which is a nod to LobCorp gameplay imho, only to be told "chief you literally haven't dealt with enemies of this caliber before"||

The LobCorp nod, I think, is how ||you can plain ignore gimmicks with a big enough ball of agents - or rather, a powerful enough force||

||LCB needs to make pinpoint strikes and disable components orderly to take stuff down meanwhile L corp. agents plain brute force shit||

I'd like to think that highlighting that difference with a parallel is a nice nod

[atomic steeple]

Plus block spoilers

[faint pivot]

Unless she adopts...? I dunno, this still stands

[atomic steeple]

This don has messy hair like the mystery announcer

[faint pivot]

I wonder what the link between the Index and Pinkie NFs are

Beyond the Tortoise Spirals I mean

[cloud wadi]

Anyways if this don id is index proxy

She’ll have the blade unlock mechanic

So maybe she’ll unveil her blade as she ramps up

[faint pivot]

Claws more like

[cloud wadi]

Yeah

Maybe she’s got wolverine claws

I dunnow

Maybe she is the sword

[faint pivot]

Wait

InFau receives prescripts on a paper slip right

[cloud wadi]

Yes

[atomic steeple]

Maybe whatever her claws are can be reshaped like the index nf's weapon

[faint pivot]

Okay now to figure out wtf The Device is-

[cloud wadi]

Her passive implies that her blindfold has prescripts written all over it

[faint pivot]

I'm ngl I'm placing my bets on The Device being Dante's PDA

[cloud wadi]

The device for receiving prescripts?

[faint pivot]

InDon's Device I mean

[cloud wadi]

Index have devices?

[faint pivot]

Since the format is "The Index [role]: [receipt medium]"

[cloud wadi]

Ah

[atomic steeple]

Don is kinda unusual due to effloresced ego

[faint pivot]

And InDon is "The Index #!$+: Device"

[cloud wadi]

Honestly I expect that she’s simply so attuned to the will of the city

That she simply understands what her prescription is

[atomic steeple]

People translated it

[cloud wadi]

Without needing anything like receiving messages

[faint pivot]

Does Effloresced EGO replace your legs?

[faint pivot]

Huh? The translation is different?

Dammit I truly am not making it to next week 😭

[atomic steeple]

From what I got, she has efflresced ego written in jp

[faint pivot]

...it'd be hilarious tbh if this was like

A rehash of Distorted ||Yan|| (Ruina SotC spoilers) and his weird name translation

[atomic steeple]

I thought it was just en and kr, but dhrug

[cloud wadi]

Give me my udjat kjh

Also

This truly is a surprise sinking canto isn’t it

Burn society will not be saved

[faint pivot]

Wonder if the substitutes for InDon's role map the same

If #s are i's then The Index Wiki would be wild

[mystic ermine]

Wait a second
that's how she looked like during ||the C9 image thingie||

With Rollex

Here

[atomic steeple]

Really funny we were expecting don to get ||the kira id but instead might be the index apprentice||

Hm
What if we kill the Middle nursefather and from then on middle mooks pop sometimes in battle nodes for the rest of the game

[mystic ermine]

Wait

"Follow your star"
"If you wish earnestly, your wish might come true"

the whole thing of

"never having known sin" if you don't know about anything

amnesia

[mystic ermine]

I'm gonna be honest

we can maybe, barely

beat a big brother

and that

that looks like ||a great one||

actually

if 4 of ||the sinners|| are enough to beat ||two Apprentices||

maybe

if all of us go at it

maybe

we can do it

especially with ||Morositas||

[stoic fjord]

Iirc there is like one artist who makes really good art of it and genuinely might not draw anything else

[bronze zephyr]

Index Don oh sick

[worthy haven]

Tbf their entire strategy involved just going on the defense and stall

[stoic fjord]

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

[bronze zephyr]

We’re getting Don and Fau/Outis at the same time then?

[mystic ermine]

How could I forget her

"Loudspeaker"

[tiny cave]

rodion looks different these days

[mystic ermine]

right, "||this does not involve expression of excessive urges||", was it?

[worthy haven]

Ye

[crimson spindle]

Short people got, no reason

https://www.rxddit.com/r/limbuscompany/comments/1q1dl0d/did_they_not_put_down_camera_for_her_at_all

[dusty sigil]

Chat, I’m all in on this Don ID being the index apprentice and Ryoshu’s kid

[gentle mulch]

what the fuck

kjh what are you cooking

[dusty sigil]

The ||index apprentice is the only one we haven’t met yet, based off how old Ryoshu is her kid could be a teenager to young adult by now, the index nursefather is being set up as the main villain, it feels weird to have all these glitchy effects just for a normal index proxy even if it’s Yan and while she doesn’t use a sword, the apprentices all use swords to act as reminders and teaching aids to Ryoshu, or alternatively, to her successor||

[stoic fjord]

getting an ID for a character before we see the character would be crazy

[dusty sigil]

||I mean didn’t we get that for Dulcinea and The Priest too?||

||Rodion and Gregor’s IDs of them were teased first I thought||

[mystic ermine]

would be a VERY good device for foreshadowing

[stoic fjord]

I wasn't there for that

[eternal berry]

heh. device.

[stoic fjord]

also I'm still stuck on the possible foreshadowing from MD6 items

[atomic steeple]

The one wrinkle here ||is the lack of an envy skill, as surely the daughter left behind, filled with complicated feelings on her mother, would have it. But it could be a hidden conditional skill||

Fun note: in hell screen, yoshihide has nightmares of his daughter calling him to join her in hell

[dusty sigil]

||that, or the defense, or maybe she simply lacks envy. If there’s one cult that convinced you your lot in life isn’t to bad, it’s the index||

||There is no choices or fate to be envious of in the index. There’s simply the will of the city, and those who fulfill it and those who do not||

||Theres no point being upset over other’s lot in life, that was simply the cities will. If it is to change, then a prescript will order you to change it. If not, then nothing will happen||

[stoic fjord]

like. surely not. but also.

THIS GUY HAS GOT TO CHILL

DO THEY SPEND ALL OF THEIR TIME DOING 15/50s

[atomic steeple]

15/50?

[eternal berry]

15 floors, 50 adversity (max)

[stoic fjord]

MDE all floors max adversity

[atomic steeple]

Thanks

You know, the way the looms write prescripts as weird texts on cloth that then get translated on other media (paper, radio maybe) is kinda similar to DNA and RNA

[stoic fjord]

Canto 9/Udjat Outis UT Story spoilers

||So, if Limbus Company did sabotage the LCA gear... Why? Is Dias sacrificing her Udjat to get Dante and co. to lock in? Is the mole someone higher up in Limbus? What's happening?||

[dusty sigil]

Rn, I’m betting that ||they wanted the golden boughs to be stolen so that the nursefathers would lead them to a new one||

[stoic fjord]

ohhhhhh true

because it's Ryoshu's turn

and the flow is firmly at our backs

[dusty sigil]

||as it stands, it’s Ryoshu’s turn which means that there has to be a new golden bough at the end of this canto. However, right now all we’re doing is recollecting the golden boughs we already have||

||there’s no new one to be found, unless the nursefathers already have one and that’s the one we’re gonna get||

[stoic fjord]

I still think it's really funny that the sinners each having a "turn" on the Self Discovery And Trauma Resolution And/Or Worsening Machine Of Fate is genuinely a real phenomenon in-universe

[dusty sigil]

This is the most profitable group therapy session ever made

Outis: I've disarmed your trap card.

Outis: Exodia, obliterate!

[fickle crown]

Hear me out

Lucio Ishmael

To make up for what happened with Ximael

[stoic fjord]

Ishmael simply is not thumb material

she shows as much every single time we interact

[split beacon]

oh, feeling kinda dumb

I think I know what I'm looking at with index don tho

[fickle crown]

I know but also I just want more Tremor IDs for her

Also I don't want it to go to Faust

[keen palm]

feeling kinda dumb?
finger and the thumb in the shape of an L on your forehead?

[fickle crown]

Plus Ishmael needs a burn update and has like... Two burn EGOs

I feel like it'd be a missed opportunity

[stoic fjord]

true...

[split beacon]

||She has post-lethe bedhead. We're looking at a dissociative identity deal, the parts of her ID reveal that were fuzzed out are her "awakened" Proxy persona instead of the Don Quixote we know, who's the chained up "asleep" persona||

[fickle crown]

Actually isn't her Capote tremburn too?

[stoic fjord]

ooooooohhhh true

[fickle crown]

No nvm it isn't

[stoic fjord]

cooking

[split beacon]

Don has a heavy theme of dissociation and duality now after Canto 7

[atomic steeple]

||Like mutilated memories, perhaps||

[fickle crown]

Also capotish feels fitting for this actually

Plays into the Thumb's theme of punching down anything under them

[stoic fjord]

ok buddy

[stoic fjord]

I imagine we could get a less standard Thumb member in Ishmael, yeah, ||someone like Valencia more focused on hierarchy than etiquette, it could happen.||

[fickle crown]

Tbh I have doubts about us getting any ||Nursefather|| IDs just yet

I think we'll be getting the apprentices in the set and maybe one or two of the weaker ones of the bunch

[stoic fjord]

yeah true

[stoic fjord]

I'm mostly working off of ||"Well we got Caposault" and the whole thing of the Apprentices maybe being much more relevant later with the whole thing of the spider's thread leading out of hell and needing to allow others to be saved to be saved yourself with Ryoshu||

[fickle crown]

Plus a ||Nursefather|| ID for the Ring and Pinky won't make sense as leaders until much later unless Kim Jihoon decides to airdrop a billion new finger IDs on us

[stoic fjord]

woe upon thee, 6000 ID season

[gentle mulch]

KJH did airdrop an entire season of heishous

i wouldn't put it past him

[fickle crown]

I just hope this isn't a Canto 8 situation

Where they all play the same lmao

[split beacon]

we have precedent for getting a leader ID before their followers now

[stoic fjord]

highly unlikely given variance between fingers

[gentle mulch]

yeah

[stoic fjord]

wait what

who

[split beacon]

Hong Lord?

[gentle mulch]

Index is sinking hybrid
Thumb is Burn Hybrid
etc

[stoic fjord]

ohhhhh right yeah we got a bunch of extra heishous after him

[fickle crown]

Hong Lord came out really late in Season 8 though

[stoic fjord]

yeah but we got a bunch of Heishou after him

[split beacon]

we got like 5 Heishou after honglord

[fickle crown]

I know but still

[gentle mulch]

and two mao beforehand

[stoic fjord]

and also with variance between IDs rn

[fickle crown]

I do feel like we're gonna get some apprentices at the very least and a grunt or two

[stoic fjord]

like, ik both index currently have prescripts but I will be surprised if Don plays the same as Faust

[fickle crown]

Same game plan different way of going about it I think

[stoic fjord]

like. the trailer does not scream "this will be a normal ID" to me

[gentle mulch]

with how they've teased don, i hope she doesn't play the same too

[fickle crown]

Also what if she's another variable ID lol

[stoic fjord]

it would kind of be a letdown and I think they know that

[stoic fjord]

wdym

[fickle crown]

Sanity based stance change

[atomic steeple]

I think we might just get the apprentices, even

[stoic fjord]

I love sanity stance IDs tbh

[split beacon]

I'm seeing index don being a Blade Unlocked ID

with everything that implies

[stoic fjord]

I don't care if it's the same I fucking love them anyways

[stoic fjord]

agreed

especially with her role being unknown

it's entirely fucking glitch wiped

[fickle crown]

Also I would like to see a thumb apprentice Ishmael just because Tremburn deserves to be an archetype with two IDs toting it already

[stoic fjord]

in the youtube title it's 4 characters long, in the actual thing itself it looks about the same length as Proxy

[stoic fjord]

true

Tremor Burn Poise surely /j

(PLEASE KJH I NEED MY TRIPLE STATUS)

[split beacon]

if Ryoshu weren't out

I'd see her being the swordmaster ID

[gentle mulch]

I want a rodion bremor ID because i really dont want liu rodion eating at my 99 burn count

for

30 damage

[stoic fjord]

VALENCIDON SURELY

[gentle mulch]

please. please.

[stoic fjord]

XYZ - my ideal thumb ishmael
XY - Cinq East Don
XY - ???
XZ - Caposault
XZ - Thumbclair
YZ - Poise Tremor
YZ - Poise tremor

nvm we're never getting poise tremor burn triple status

[fickle crown]

Pornse

[gentle mulch]

i need more weird ass triple status IDs

[stoic fjord]

El Sueño Imposible is dead

[stoic fjord]

Poise, burn... poise?

[fickle crown]

Brain fart lmao

[stoic fjord]

Tremporn triple status this season

please KJH

[fickle crown]

Also another thing that'd be fun about a Thumb Apprentice ID is that it'd be able to function as a demi-cinq ID

[stoic fjord]

true...

[fickle crown]

What with ||Lucio's special clash mechanics||

[stoic fjord]

fuck

the enemy doesn't have poise

no triple status

we get to die and sob and eat shit

WAIT NO JIA QIU DIDN'T HAVE POISE

IT'S POSSIBLE

[lean fjord]

aside on that
||very funny how Ryo just doesn't care about the hostage situation in the fight ||

[split beacon]

oh hey

[stoic fjord]

||would you want to actually harm the daughter of a color fixer who's currently fucking you up with no Mang, no E.G.O, just pure fucking aura?||

[split beacon]

did we get Dante's Notes updates for the new season

[stoic fjord]

do you guys think there are any double status teams we won't eventually get

[split beacon]

yes

choise

[stoic fjord]

my guess would be Charge/Poise

and-

yeah

[fickle crown]

||Verg absolutely could have torn the nursefathers apart if it weren't due to circumstances||

[stoic fjord]

and I think maybe Charge/Burn

[split beacon]

no new Dante's Notes for the season huh

curious.

[stoic fjord]

||We saw Roland genuinely cook an entire branch of the Middle, and Vergilius is aiui on a similar level to him, bro could do it||

[split beacon]

Canto 9 part 1 ||I guess the implication is that this is an ambush, not a prepared and premediated mission with notes being sent to Dante for them to review ahead of time and familiarize themself with||

[stoic fjord]

*them
*themself

[split beacon]

Fuc

[stoic fjord]

I need more triple and double status in my life

[stoic fjord]

I wonder what a poise/charge ID would look like

or what faction it would be from

[cloud wadi]

Ishmael does have a disloyal streak

Now that I think about it

Sassy rebellious child

[split beacon]

Unique status that counts as Charge and Poise, with count representing Charge and potency representing Poise, and gaining either increases the corresponding value

[stoic fjord]

okay that sounds kind of peak

[dusty sigil]

I wonder if Index Don will have the castigation gimmick

Of having a very low rolling skill

That while clashing reduces enemy class values by a lot

Instead of rolling high

[neat cedar]

so, just saw something

that made me rethink my previous position

[dusty sigil]

Huh?

[neat cedar]

of Index don not being an apprentice

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G9qVqvKXgAAIZhu?format=jpg&name=small

the silhouette of the 2nd announcer

[dusty sigil]

What about it?

[neat cedar]

ferls very similar to Index Don's with what you can see of the messy hair

assuming the hair is longer for the OG . . .

and the idea floating of this distortion of the mirror world being caused by a logical impossibility

Don being the ryoshu daughter is startong to feel morr likely

which, uh

bodes poorly for her

[atomic steeple]

Yup

They have the same unkempt hair

[stoic fjord]

we're literally only 6 days out from the next drop and already starting to fall into something reminiscent of pre-season psychosis

[atomic steeple]

Plus, the censored part of her name

Is similar to the passive aweshu has

[stoic fjord]

oh shit you're right

it's one of the few instances of symbol censoring rather than white squares

[stoic fjord]

that one is 3 characters, right?

and this Don's is 4....

[atomic steeple]

It matches until the extra character

[stoic fjord]

iirc the speculation on that one was that it was "Kid's Hand I Let Slip"?

[stoic fjord]

huhhhhhh

interesting... very interesting...

[atomic steeple]

Being plural variantvof the word is the only thing that vomes to mimd, but can't be it

[neat cedar]

xurious if the Preview this sunday is just gunna be

an SCP document

also wonder

if different prescript delivery

means they'll get a different set of prescripts

[atomic steeple]

Perhaps

[neat cedar]

ubsurprisingly

New don has flooded PM twitter as car as fanart goes

[stoic fjord]

was telling a friend about all this and this was their response lmao

[neat cedar]

lol

ngl

PM reallt steppednup their game.as far as presentation goes

[stoic fjord]

they know how to build infinite fucking hype and then somehow also live up to it

truly impressive
