Re: Superstitions

Not necessarily a superstition but Uzriel subscribes to the old Geomancer belief that water is not just inferior to earth but disgusting and should be avoided at all costs. Needless to say that puts Carakhan about even with the Soulless in terms of being an Evil Divine to him.

Re: Thanks for the RP (Version 1.0 Alpha)

This creature is a shrunken humanoid with black skin, horns and a long tail. Its hands have sharp, spiked claws, whilst its feet are small and pointed. Two small wings protrude from its back. Its face is thin and twisted, prominent veins throbbing around bright red eyes and pointed teeth. Perched upon its head for no discernible reason is a ceremonial auburn turban, adjusted just a smidge off center.

I love him!

Re: Thanks for the RP (Version 1.0 Alpha)

Thank you @Maylea for providing answers, even if they're not the ones Selenity was hoping to hear.

Thank you @Jolanthe and @Lendren for the RP at the tree, and giving Selenity the little kick in the butt she needed.

(Ironhart Collective): Galaphyrae (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "In staging."

(Ironhart Collective): Galaphyrae says, "He has foregone this venture."

(Ironhart Collective): Zagreus says, "So he did not wish to venture forth."

Caressing your ear, the voice of Eritheyl whispers, "//

Caressing your ear, the voice of Eritheyl whispers, "// LOL."

Caressing your ear, the voice of Eritheyl whispers, "// pathing directly into a tree with no recourse, rest in peace."

Reclaiming my Quizmaster crown as I remain away(ish) while continuing my exam preparations.

1.) Out of all the movies, books, and TV shows in the world, what character of figure in that wide world best matches or captures the essence of your character?
2.) What is one fact that few people have caught on about your character?
3.) What is your favorite IG literary book?
4.) What is your favorite IG scholarly book?
5.) How do you perceive scale in Lusternia? How do you imagine how big is the Inner Sea? How do you reconcile there being only 10 firefly squid in the ocean (this isn't true, but this is an example)? This is a theoretical kind of question, I think.
6.) Do you prefer longform emotes or predetermined/overridden emotes?
7.) What are some of your questions about... mugwumps? (This is a @Mboagn bone of a question, but you can offer other questions about Lusternian peoples; NB, this does not mean I, or any admin, will necessarily answer them).
8.) I know you all like Divine interaction, but I really wonder, what exactly constitutes that? Is me interacting with you in-person enough? Fulcrux? Through Order-related denizens?
9.) How do you imagine how you relate to the Gods (especially those of you in Orders)?
10.) How do you best communicate to others (players, perhaps even Godmin) the story beats or plots that you want to engage or participate in? What do you think would be a good way if there is not a "best" way?

1)Dunno. I like to think some mashup between the self-doubt and discomfort about nobility of Rand al'Thor mixed with Sam Axe. But I feel like not really? I used https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/ to get an idea of potential characters that fit his personality.

2) He keeps a list.

3/4) None, as of yet. Finally got demigod, and so gonna stop and smell the roses, as it were, and enjoy some of the cultural stuff in Lusternia.

5) I mean, a day = an hour. So one hour = two and a half minutes. One minute = ~2.4 seconds. So, given how quickly we're able to move around, I'd say the scale works as far as time and travel goes. Ish. Enough that I can reconcile it okay. Distances, number of mobs, etc., I liken to playing Dungeons and Dragons. DM doesn't explicitly detail EVERY citizen in a city, just the important ones/ones you interact with. I look at say, the beggars in Mag the same way. They're the ones that we take notice of, if we want to.

6) Either. I tend to adapt to whomever I'm rping with.

7) Baked, fried, or grilled?

8) I mean, I asked an imp a question, and got answers. That was pretty awesome. I tend to avoid events/divine stuff, since it's always a flood of people and emoting, and I tend to not have anything to add to the chaos. I've been playing Lusternia (sometimes really actively) for a long time off and on, and I think I've appeared in a event post ever.

9) Indifferent, but curious.

10) Depends, really. For stuff that can easily be pushed in an IC fashion, that's my preference. But I have no problem shooting someone a message with the ol' //.

A Cryptic Expedition: or its not graverobbing when its family

After a discussion with a novice about the demon lords, it was time to finish up a small personal project Uzriel had been working on. Helping him were members of his family (@Sapphira, @Vella, Ayrisa), those in the Demon Lord discussion (@Kailanna, Saviya), and a certain Iosen by invitation. Special thanks goto @Drocilla for being amazing and coding in the steps in advance for us to roleplay around.

Re: QUOTES 8: THE QUOTING

With a deep reverb, Contemptible Sutekh says, "Yes, that's exactly the kind of thing I am asking the Forbidden about."

With a deep reverb, Contemptible Sutekh says, "He said the other day that He is trying to determine how to best explain my questions without dropping me on Papaxi and leaving me to perish in agony, my soul too far from Lusternia to return."

With a deep reverb, Contemptible Sutekh says, "Which implies that the planets are really far indeed which is an answer in itself."

You say, "I mean, think of how cool that would be, though."

With the greatest pout in his voice, Contemptible Sutekh says, "YES BUT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT IT!"

I love exactly one bug.
