lusty-speak or common phrases found in Lusternia

Aeldra

I always was intrigued how people do create specific speech pattern in games such as lusternia, which have specific meaning to just the game. I would love to hear some of the more specific ones to lusternia and what they commonly mean to you. Might even help a newbie or two eventually trying to figure out what people are on about

two common ones I noticed myself using:

- I need to daydream a little while => got to afk in a manse for a bit / log off for a bit
- I have to rest for the weave => off for the day.

Am sure there are more obscure ones out there and am curious about them.

Kistan

Do my chores - collect 3 bards,scholars, pilgrims and initiates

Rancoura

Rancoura never "rests" anymore (i.e. logging out) - she always "returns to her meditations" or "is beckoned by the Dark Mother."

She also tends to refer to Night/Crow/Nature skills as "gifts of" the respective party, and other skillset abilities are "learnings."

I'm not fond of using mechanical terms IG, if that's not obvious yet!

Luce

Some other big ones from a purely mechanical standpoint are circles being levels, denizens being NPCs, etc. that were baked in.

I've used/seen used some other ones though.

- flirt with the guards => empower guard stacks

- going on guard duty => DEMESNE WATCH ON and netflix.

- I need to sketch/draft something out => Go semi-AFK while working on a design/newspost in another window.

- The family is dead => There are no single people or couples with both members active in the family.

Rancoura

Oh, and this was more pertinent when the old guilds were around, but I don't remember the last time Rancoura used the term "Shadowdancer." The guild was always "the Coven" and people with the Shadowdancers  class were "children of Night."

Influencing Faethorn fae is also "bringing fae to the embrace of the Wyrd/Night."

Shulamit

"I'm going to design something" then some emote about looking at sketches = "Hi I am afk while designing in an open office document"

Moi

Levels -> circles is an oldbie one.

Kalnid

Wait, they aren't circles any more?

Related to what Rancoura said, Kalnid only called the nihilists as an organization the Church(optionally of the Five). I think I inherited that from Delphas.

Everiine

Ev's particular speech patterns are part of his character. Others sometimes pick up his mannerisms and run with them.

He never calls people Serenwilders, New Celestians, etc. They are Seren / Shelterfolk, Waterfolk, Firefolk, Earth- / Taintfolk, Wyrdfolk, Airfolk.

Everyone younger than he is is a "Little One". Except for his daughter, who is his "Dear One", since she didn't like being called a Little One.

Logging off is "going to his rest".

Right now, he doesn't use the word "Serenguard". It's always "the Lost Tribe".

People aren't "enemied". They are "branded / marked" as enemies.

The Wodewoses don't revere Mother Moon and Brother White Hart. They revere the Great Moon-and-Hart.

saobutt

"Upper deck." - on any channel, used by anyone in the alliance for any event/battle which means, group up, squad roll out. When you read it, you already know what's up. Makes me giggle when Hallis or Serens use it too cause it's where the party's at!

Luce

Just because there's nowhere similar in Seren and you plebians can't figure out how to reach the Spire of the Lawgivers. (Jk, love you guys)

We usually use 'south of mother' as a gathering point, which is easily enough similarly reachable.

Maligorn

Hallifax is probably the toughest place for multiple orgs to gather for a fight. Celest, Glomdoring and Magnagora have it relatively easier than the others because of the placement of their aetherplex chambers.

But yeah. Upper deck, south of Moonhart, east of Megalith and north of the Ravenwood are all spots I'm familiar with hearing.

And of course, outside the plex.

Though I do remember "at the matrix" too!

Mostly because there's like 12 of them.

It's the big one at the top/center

Also, the Nekotai were the Cult, and the Blacktalons was The Murder.

'Shadows guild' and "walk in darkness" were/are blessings you say to someone logging off/resting/etc.

And there is the rather infamous Nothing Matter's But Glomdoring/Glory Be To Glomdoring.  Phrase/Counterphrase.

EDIT: I have no idea why her quote is all weird either..

Xiran

"soul-aeoned" for lag, or, "My soul doesn't seem to be tethered to my body today." Cue throwing on rooting buffs or a friend giving a hug to anchor you.
Claiming a pooka made you do it when typoing or mistargetting an emote.

Xiran-specific:
-"asploded" instead of exploded. Because Selthar said it while explaining alchemy.
-"tending to the scrolls," as flavoured sign-off.
-x is "being a Nejii today" or "being a Lendren today" awesome person genderbending
