Hello New I/O Readers!

(art of Deedee by @sakura-rose12)

"So a lot of new players have ended up on Mundus! Which is, uh, not great in that you've ended up on Mundus, but hey, at least I have some idea what's up! Ask us at Free Company Dungeon Crawling And Chill (DC/AC) anything?" OOC: Hopefully with the end of Book 2 I'll have a few more readers for this, so: ask the cast anything. I'll also use this Tumblr to boost any fanwork I get, like this lovely Deedee that @nekoincardine commissioned for me from @sakura-rose12! Just post it under the Isekai/Online tag.

5. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever worked for?

“The ‘ardest thing'v ever worked for? There’s plenty. Gettin’ out'v debt, bein’ alive 'ere an’ now, keepin’ work an’ bein’ less'v a delinquent. Still a delinquent, tho’ jus’ less'v one…” A wide smirk dances across her lips as she makes fun of herself. “So I may be a giant pain in most people’s asses but one thin’s fer sure, tha’ I work 'arder than most folk,” Deeza said, her chest puffing out in pride, soon then dropping as she gave a gentle shrug of her left shoulder with a proper answer.

“It’ll be gettin’ sober, though. At t'op ov’ the list. I did… I did most ov’ it alone. Sometimes I’d fall off t'wagon an’ folk were there to catch me, other times, I only 'ad my own two legs t'pick me back up. The one person 'oo would 'ave probably helped me through it all was.. occupied, unfortunately. They probably beat 'emselves up about it, too. They could'ne 'elp bein’ on’t other side o’ the world….” Deeza clasped her hands together and rested them behind her head as she relaxed back in her seat. “T'was 'ard, though. Sometimes I still get urges,” the Keeper would admit with a faint sigh through her nose. “S'pose that’s why it’s t'ardest thing I’ve worked for. 'Cause am’ still workin’ for it.”———–

Thanks so much for the ask, @vexredain :D It’s kept me occupied on this quiet morning at work!

Hey doll! I am sorry I keep asking you things, but you're so kind and helpful! I hope you are having a great day! Anyways, I was wondering about the calligraphy (fancy handwriting) how do you learn to do that? Are there any resources for it? Thanks doll! *hugs*

Hello! I’m sorry it took so long for me to reply to you! I got so busy all of a sudden with review classes and all (thus the lack of original content haha). I’m so glad that you’re asking me questions, so don’t apologize! Here’s a masterpost of several resources that I’ve found online and also a collection of my own tips and techniques! Hope you enjoy reading! I’ll try including some of my own pics, but alas my lighting is terrible. Disclaimer: I AM NO EXPERT!

Materials

As a beginner, I recommend not buying the expensive brush pens right away. Master the technique first! Buy maybe one or two brush pens just to get a feel of it, but don’t splurge on 24 colors right away. I started with a Prismacolor brush pen. But even before running your brush pen dry, practice with other tools like pens, pencils, crayola markers, and highlighters. Really get the technique down. I, personally, really like using colored pencils for practice because it’s easy to see the hard down strokes and light up strokes. 

Popular Brush Pens: Kuretake Zig Brushables*, Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Pen, Tombow Dual Brush Pen*, Sharpie Brush Marker, Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Brush Pen, Artline Stix Brush Marker.

Tip: A brush marker has generally 2 factors to look out for: tip and hardness. Brush pens are commonly marker-type (felt-tipped), but you can also find ones with synthetic or real bristles, which take more time to master. The hardness also plays a role. Some people like harder brush pens because they resemble markers, and others like more flexible types. You may wanna consider the marker-types if you’re starting out.

Technique

Hard down strokes and light up strokes. It takes practice to get your hand used to the motion, but you’ll get the hang of it easily if you keep at it! 

Hold your marker at an angle so that you get a thick down stroke. The smaller the angle the thicker the stroke. 

Don’t get into letters just yet. Practice your strokes by writing lines first. Up down up down. After lines, zig zags. After that, gentle waves. 

Once you can really write in a fluid motion, practice with letters! Stick to the straight letters (e.g. i, l, & t) before going into ovals (e.g. o, a, p). 

Or just keep writing words and develop your own style! There are many different ways to write each letter so explore!!!

Tips

Brush pens can run out of ink FAST! It’s a shame to spend all of it on mere practice alone! To solve this problem I save my brush pens for actual legit design and practice with watercolor paint brushes and water brush pens. The paint I use is really cheap (less than a dollar at a crafts store) and the brushes weren’t too pricey. I got my water brush pen for about roughly $4 at a calligraphy shop. Using real brushes are a good way to practice technique, and you can do it without worrying about the ink hehe.

Be gentle with your pens!!!!

FAKE IT ‘TIL U MAKE IT! Just use an ordinary pen, write in cursive, and darken dem down strokes HAHA. Shhh it’ll look pretty either way.

Right, the vessel with the pestle is the brew that is true, got it.

"Cheers, bro, I'll drink to that."

[askdeeds]

And this is why it's much better just to refer to your home as 'Earth.'

"In practice, most of us do. There's a potential ambiguity problem - Mundus more or less means Earth - but for the playerbase talking about our homes, the ambiguity is actually helpful."

[askdeeds]

Ask anything huh... alright what's everyone's favourite gear set?

"I'm actually really fond of this set, lucky enough for me. What's it called, the Shah of Xia set?"

"Honestly I haven't been playing this game long enough to, uh, know? I picked up the titty armor set because it looked stupid and to show off for the stream. I'd honestly like to lean further into the Viking aesthetic later with something like this set.

"Once I've got the cash, I definitely want to lean into the armored princess look. I've had my eye on the Silk and Steel Set."

The only problem with the Dragon Under The Stones set is that it requires a sufficiently tall and impressive staff and hat to complete it."

"Shit, let's get stupid. What's the point of being in a fantasy world if you can't wear five inches of enchanted silk and get away with it?"

*leaps into view Obi Wan Kenobi Style* Hello There.

Deedee, does the tail-like belt have any interesting lore on Mundus?

"At the time I just picked it up because it looks cool, but it turns out that the tail-belt is a sign of devotion to the Trickster-Fox and god of wind, Sylphan. Which is, uh, for the best, given that I'm a Sylphanite monk on Mundus." "He also appreciates sacrifices of arancini and - according to my godbothering experiments - fried tofu. Slylphan is, uh, a handy guy to have on your side when you're on the road and new in town."

[askdeeds]

So Siobahn are there any things about the... otherworlders? (is that a good term?) that you find particularly jarring or confusing?

"The Players is as good a term as any, and the biggest thing I needed to get over is... Okay. All Adventurers are a reckless lot, or we wouldn't consider shouldering free lances for coin worth the price, yeah? But Players have a very skewed sense of what's dangerous compared to what's sensible, and that's before you bring in the possibility of resurrection magic."

[askdeeds]

I haven't heard of it either! But all you shipwrecked adventurers keep talking about how things are "a Yarel". In other words, "like they do it in Yarel", right? Is that *not* where you're from?

"Ah. That. That is an acronym, Iota Rho Lambda. The fact that my boon companions don't use it anymore is part of why I trust them."

[askdeeds]

"I'll admit it. It was my fault. Sie misread the acronym and when sie did I uh." Chan Xiu rubs her neck. "I went along with it, bad pronunciation and all, because it's better than 'back home' or 'Earth'. Anyway yeah I'm Chan Xiu I'm from out of town and I'm probably going to have to apologize for that one for ages."

"I'm sure she'll accept the apology - we all do what we have to survive here."

[askdeeds]

Tell me about an a-Yarel cultural practice you miss, but you can't keep up with now that you're here. And on the other side of the coin... is there something of the Yberian way of life that you wish they'd adopt back in your homeland?

"a-Yarel? Never heard of it." "...I am fond of the siesta. It doesn't really get hot enough around the Lindsenfeld to be necessary, but sometimes a day is too long and you need an hour and a drink in the middle of it, yeah?"

[askdeeds]

Siobhan, do you count as part of the Free Company for the AMA? Because it would be helpful to talk to a local who actually understands something of the background the rest of your comrades are coming from here.

"The others could actually read up on the lore, but... yeah, I count, I've taken their Crowns. Just don't ask anything that could get us both in trouble, yeah? Some of us aren't as well-read as the two of us."

[askdeeds]

oh no i forgot how the quest goes, it's the mortar and pestle right? I keep thinking it's the chalice.

"If you're trying to do the Lost Temple of Ubasdjet, yes, you want the mortar and pestle. You'll need it to grind beetle shells and resin for the incense altar."
