I hate classical music it’s like I’m looking for this one piece it goes absolutely crazy sometime in the last half and is probably around 7 minutes and there’s string instruments in it. composer is european. there’s numbers in the title and something like “in B minor”. does anyone know what I’m talking about?

"Re Blog" to PERMANENTLY become some sort of fucked up creature or demented beast

Just finished playing Chants of Sennaar, I like how in the end it's revealed that the words for "God", "duty", "beauty", "change", and "exile" in the tower's five languages are all revealed to be cognates in the ending (these are the most important words for each group: the Devotees, Warriors, Bards, Alchemists, and whatever the group at the top is called (the alchemists call them fairies in the context of the founding myths, but they just call themselves "our people"))

Chants of Sennaar experience so far:

"what the fuck is that word??" -goes into the next room- "ah. yeah that makes sense"

(in the fortress) "this will probably kill me, but i have to try" -gets killed-

"ooo the colors!" -goes to the next zone- "ooo the colors!!" -goes to the next zone- "ooo th- .... the water looks like piss."

related to above, but i think the water only started looking red like blood after i donned the helmet. that's pretty cool

felt pretty smart about understanding the first two languages well enough, but i am struggling with the third one. my poor brain is having a rough time telling the swooshes and swoops and such apart. (it could also be that im Pretty Tired and my brain just cannot keep up. i've already stopped for the day, so hopefully some sleep will help)

gotta be honest, one of my greatest disappointments with this game is that everyone seems to be human. so far, anyway. maybe that'll change. but i was really hoping we'd all be Something Cooler what with the cloaks and helms and such that the first two areas' residents wear. what if we were lizards or ghosts or Creatures. alas

the character designs and architecture are pretty cool

So, you may have had a brother. And you may have killed it.

brother (undefined gender)

a continuation olong this line of thought

the definition for 'brother' is from the American Heritage Dictionary

(script under cut)

Brother (noun)

A male having the same parents as another or one parent in common with another.

One who shares a common ancestry, allegiance, character, or purpose with another or others, especially.

So, you may have had a brother.

And you may have killed it. / You know how to say 'death' and 'die' but you have yet to learn the word for 'kill'. / Besides, you are not sure if the sentiment of 'shutting down a program (possibly made by the same person who made you) to save the people and bring the tower to harmony while it trys to kill you too' can be expressed in a single word.

No, it is far too complicated for that. / Then again, maybe Exile wasn't trying to kill you. It could have, that time. But instead, it brought you into Exile. Just as it begged you to, the first time. / You. What did you want from me?

Do not be seen, do not be heard. Use hidden passages when you move. Be at hand before you are called. The serf lived as someone else’s background their entire life.

So when they ran from their home to the monastery it was only natural that the first thing they saw was the man at the lowest.

-

Greetings. Would you like to share this? ? I am sorry, I am not yet fluent in your language…

-

Ah, you must be one of the people from the upper floor. Well, I'll gladly take the food! No idea what you’re saying though. … Come to think of it, do you know this person?

-

Oh…! I heard they helped us come to the monastery. Though I only saw them in passing. (A stranger…? In here…? They’re not a serf…) I thought they were a pilgrim in search of the tower or the church. Turns out they were a traveler with no ties in the land.

-

When they saw me begging, they started. Searched their pockets and then ran off. And then, they came running back all out of breath. And handed me a coin.

-

A penniless traveler in a foreign land, running about to help a beggar they met on the streets. Isn’t it funny?

-

… They’re a good man. …Yes, they truly are.

-

Greetings! Greetings! Greetings!
