Yo, @Ryssa I love your narrative art to death. We should totally tag team something in that vein eventually. IDK if that is realistic for me currently, ‘cause real life has me kinda exhausted right now. But if you where ever interested in something like that, that would be pretty freakin cool.
@Adrik I honestly cannot remember what tore Ryssa from the skies, I just remember spears thrown, ground, and death. And the chasing hunt took awhile, so it was just super chaotic XD
- a delicate lace cape of aureate silk - (sycophant cape)
Embracing the wearer from shoulder to elbow in rippling folds of the finest sea silk, this shawl-like cape drapes elegantly in soft, delicate cutwork lace. Gossamer threads create the body of work, entwining in nebulous patterns to mimic the asymmetrical eddying of a turbulent ocean while any movement swells the lace into tempestuous grace. With closer inspection, subtle images can be discerned: A drowning man, a wounded beast, a bellicose lionfish, each violent depiction caught quiescent within the ornate looping motifs of edgework that frame the garment in all of its grandeur.
Huge thanks to @Trey who did 95% of the work and helped as I added my own 5% to it. It's so lovely as my first bit of ostentatious flair.
Decide it's time for a spar and square up with @Emiya. New system isn't set up, there's still a ton of spam going on in my main window, but I've a few new tricks up my sleeves - totems, speed overhead with delphinium, swap to curare once they're up and go ham on precision underhanded, then swap to legs. I figure I'll give it a shot to attempt to make good progress. Engage on sight, set enemy, throw the gauntlet, and away we go.
Prop up in some caves, sketch down uruz, start sketching down dagaz when Emiya walks in. Get hit upside the head pretty roughly. Okay, that's fine, get out, run around the arena, get back to my prep room. Wield totem, stand totem, wait for it... wait for it... BOOM, sleep, entangled, totem back on the belt and sword time. Delphinium speed overhand, bam, still out. Three hits before my falcon goes, "Oh hay, I should attack right?" and claws at Emiya waking her up while I'm off balance. "Crap" I think "Oh well, I've got momentum, roll with it."
Swapped to curare, precision, and went underhanding while getting wailed on. Stacked four cracked ribs, still had skull fractures, and swapped to legs. Six leg fractures, four cracked ribs, nothing left on the head. Thought, "That's not enough to get sensitivity to stick solidly." and threw one more precision underhand in there. Balance comes up, five cracked ribs, six leg fractures. At this point Emiya is starting to dish out some pretty scary broken limb prompts so I know it's now or never.
Devastate legs, upset to prone. Impale fires off. This is it, disembowel time and...
Out of the arena.
"Noooo! Dammit dammit dammit!" I start thinking to myself. I'm digging back through the logs to try to figure out what happened because like an idiot I didn't record the fight either. Then I get a tell from Emiya, "Good stuff!" I hit QL and notice... I'm not in the spectator stands.
I'm in the Staging Grounds.
I check deathsight, and there it is...
2019/06/09 06:14:29 - Emiya dies, her defences no match for the relentless might of Sentry Synthus in Ainghaeal's Nest.
I realize it was mostly sheer dumb luck and I also realize it was a bit of trouble on Emiya's side with my limb tracking, but to me, it's still a win. I took tactics that I didn't know of this time last week, applied them, worked on them, tried to make myself better by using them and make them better by tweaking my application of them where I could, and from all that, I pulled off a win.
I understand totally why Cyrene is sitting the foozle out, but oocly, I may have been crying a little bit when I found the foozle was completely tree related. Never have I ever felt so sad not to participate! I am -so- jealous of all of you that got to join in! Next time!
I didn't realise the foozle was going to be fully Yggdrasil. Totally blanked out on that first card. Not sure what I would've done if I hadn't done a last minute look around and also so much rage haha.
Also while I was up here, I finally visited Nur for the first time, which finally pushed my rank back up. Thanks to Mindshell for helping me figure some things out.
btw: It's super pretty up here omg. I feel like I can hang around here for a long long long time. But those angels are super rude
I'll disagree with that. I've not thought this was a good plot since Cyrene was conquered. Setting up a major world event where thousands of credits are up for grabs to be exclusive is something I consider worse. I don't point the finger for that at Cyrene, but at the admin team running it.

Except they're not exclusiveeeeeeee
Stop bitching at the admin team for running a really last minute decision that certain people (cough tesha cough) brought about. This was, exclusively, through Player interactions with the world and an event.
Cyrene has a good reason to want to participate in the games. Certain people (See: Most of Cyrene) has already been sampled. Hell, most of Sapience has at this point. If you think "WOW IVE NEVER BEEN SAMPLED BEFORE!" and have died in any pvp/pve event where Tsol'teth were present?
Congratulations. You've got a 95% chance that you've been processed. So, winning the staff back from them would be a high priority, since it's the only weapon known to cause them a lot of harm with minimal effort.
There are tons of IC reasons for joining the games and participating. Cyrene just, like normal, decides to be fucking blind to everything and complain more than I do about shit, and that's saying something.
It's not the admin's fault that Cyrene is apparently disallowing participation. They didn't exclude anyone, so I dunno how you can call it exclusive either. If you don't wanna participate that's entirely on you.
Hard to think as to why you're still playing, since every other day you're complaining about the game. Reminds me a lot of the people who bitch and cry about Battle for Azeroth's story as being a colossal failure etc... While still playing every single day, for hours and hours.
Perhaps I'm amused by how much some of you cry and complain when someone disagrees with you? I need popcorn reading some of the rants going off on people who aren't enthusiastic about this event.
Unlike some, I have said it's good that people have a different point of view, and welcome discussion on things.
Cyrene made the decision to ban it. Other cities found RP reasons to allow it. You have no one to blame but yourselves
First, I have no issues with not competing for the most part. I did squeak and stare at my monitor with slight disbelief when I realised the entire foozle would be all Yggdrasil related. I do recall the last foozle for chmpionship and to put it frankly, I'd have been lucky to score at all in that one. So, I participated in the best way I could by helping others score points. I do wish I could have known how many points I could have gotten on my own.
Second, story is important to me. Yes, Cyrene could have figured out a way to participate. We didn't go that way. It's an interesting path to be on and I do not regret it (for the most part). Life is full of great failures and success. We all have choices. I'm along for the ride and cannot wait to see what unfolds as a result of these events.
Without commenting on any preceding posts, regardless of your character or organixsation's IC stance, it never feels very good to have to be left out or sit out of something interesting, even if it is something you chose yourself.
I wouldn't be quite so disappointed yet over not getting to participate. There is plenty of time for things to happen!

I mean, we might not be participating in the games, but that doesn't mean we aren't participating in the games.

Oh, the irony.

Didn't even get the 300+ lb boar lunging you and grounding you for the death team to take care of. Smh.
(I love it. also don't ask about seeing the enemy message. I had to do it twice.)

Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.

Oh, and obligatory victory gif.
