Top 5 Mounts! I love seeing which mounts people are drawn too!

ohhh, that's not something I think about often, and I'm lucky enough to have acquired a hefty number of rare ones, so this is going to be fun and sentimental! and maybe a little humblebraggy im sorry im not trying to be! :D

-------------

Eden

like many players I'm sure, Shadowbringers was when the game really for good hooked me for life, and Ryne is a significant part of that. I loved her character so much that I was overjoyed when I realized the raid series was not only going to expand on her as a character, but give her a girlfriend.

But that's not the only reason; Eden's Promise is also the tier my static formed and we began to take on savage raids, and one of my greatest memories of this game is defeating the final E12S boss alongside them like 0.7 seconds before she enraged. The Oracle of Darkness is still one of my favorite fights in the whole game, and between that, the fact that the whole raid storyline is a handwrapped gift for lesbians who have Ryne as their favorite character, and a personal fondness for FF8 YEAH THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT SUCK IT GAMEFAQS BOARDS FROM 1998...well, getting to ride Actually Eden in this game kind of rules.

I do wish it played The Extreme though. :V

2. Sunforged

Meanwhile, Abyssos was extremely memorable for, unfortunately, much different reasons. A lot of our group started facing a lot of personal problems IRL, and we had to say goodbye to some very good friends we had made and then bring new ones up to speed on the tier, so it took us an immensely long time to make it all the way to P8S, prog both phases of the fight, and get eight clears for all of us; we were struggling so much that even when the tier unlocked, we weren't able to clear him more than once a week. I still think P8S is too rough around the edges and I like the fight a lot less than the other Pandaemonium finales - not necessarily poorly designed, but extremely demanding to the point it was actually taking a toll on us.

...So basically, to me the Sunforged represents us dragging our broken, battered bodies over the finish line of the raid tier, succeeding despite all the shit both it and real life threw at us. We fought really fuckin' hard for this fucker, and as difficult as it was I'm really, immensely proud of us for managing it.

Also the mount itself is just sick af. Big fire snek!

and it turns into a godsdamned phoenix for flight, come on!!

3. Garlond GL-II

i mean come on this thing was built for biker girl femroes!!

4. Megaloambystoma

I am BEYOND LIVID that the Axolotl mount is locked behind Savage. Savage is for neckbeard no-lifers who play this game 24/7. Give them a crappy Magitek mount or something but cute mounts do NOT belong to raiders!!!

okay but seriously look at this dope. what a good boy. and in addition to being cute AF he ALSO has a sentimental story about my static's experiences with the relevant raid tier: for some strange reason, for the last bits of phase 1 and all of phase 2 of P12S in particular, I was the one who ended up studying the fight, writing down explanations, walking the group through the mechanics, and making callouts. it'd be a little aggrandizing to claim that Pallas Athena is my victory because obviously it's the whole group's... but it is the fight that somehow made me the one confident enough to lead my friends through it.

So in a weird way, this little dope is like, a representation of my self-esteem. I love him.

5. Fat Cat

I'm a cat person. I was morally obligated to buy this. Pay no attention to the mount description that posits that it is either a VOIDSENT using a BLOATED CAT'S CORPSE AS ITS CORPOREAL VESSEL, or a DECEASED PET REANIMATED by one well versed in the NECROMANTIC ARTS. these are lies and slander. look at this :3 face. is this the face of someone who would hide their true insidious voidtinged nature? clearly not. stop worrying about it. you don't need to sleep with a knife under your pillow with this baby around. >:3

this was really fun to reminisce and write about, thank you @disciple-of-frost for the ask!!

The Incident

Masterpost for The Incident.

Zoissette Vauban knows that the best way to get along in society is to hide herself away, to appear to behave as normal as possible. Despite this, her curiosity drives her to eccentricity. The pursuit of a life long goal, the opportunity to perform a duty for a friend, and the need to be invisible all come together to culminate in the performance of an experiment that may well be her last.

The End

[voidsentprinces]

The problem is that so many of the scions are my favourite but they're all favourite in different ways?? Like G'raha Tia, no-brainer, I have a little G'raha plushie in my purse so I can squeeze him when I need to squoze a catboy. But also Urianger is the guy who I've had the most fun watching his full character arc from "the weird basement prophet with the robes" to like the most genuine heartfelt dude on the team. We got like front row seats to every single brick building Alisie's character arc, she's flawless 10/10 no notes, Alphinaud is my idiot (affectionate) son, Papalymo I wish I knew you better waaaaah, as a MNK main I connected strongly with Lyse but I think the Lyse I like might not be the one written but the one I think they were trying to write if that makes sense? Thancred bb I spent all of ARR making fun of the White Haired Anime Boy and then the story just started shoving knives into him until he became Dadcred, Krile is great and I think she spends so much time doing important background work that everyone forgot how great she is, hope she gets more fun shit to do in Dawntrail, and she needs to tease graha more, Tataru Taru is great and beyond reproach, and I assume she's the one paying to feed all my mounts because fuck if I know what demi-ozma eats. Estinien is my fellow melee main and it's great having seen him come from great suffering and still claw his way out the other side. He's definitely not an idiot but also he and my meat head WoL have "I don't know your fancy school talk" solidarity. Minfilia! Minfilia I wish we bonded more, so much of ARR was exposition and quest giving. You seemed like a neat lady when you were given the space to be one. unfortunately, you were eaten by God, and you act like it was your choice but was it really? Was it really? (pour one out for Moenbryda, there are too few roe ladies as it is) anyway sorry for dumping this in your inbox but those are my approximate thoughts.

Valid af, go off mate.

[broccoli-bitching]

Not that anyone cares but I got Demi-Ozma

[fatesown]

i want demi-ozma so bad, but do i want it bad enough to brave eureka pyros by myself? hell no

[twilitgaming]

Got my first Baldesion Arsenal clear over the weekend, happy to finally have my demi ozma

[eorzeanflowers]

Beat the Baldesion Arsenal today with the help of the CAFE discord! Real friendly group and has runs pretty consistently done for BA throughout the week. Took 3 tries but I got it! :D

[candies-n-collars]

No more stress.

I am free.

[paladincecil]

I spent way too much time playing picross today cuz I noticed 2nd place was creeping up on my score xD

I did finally clear the 2nd area in Eureka today with some help from a very friendly person that revived me when I died on my way to the last quest in the zone and then stayed with me until I got through to the objective and back to safety :D

Incident Report D-F-AL-05142-A Material Contained Within Suitable for Audiences of the Age of Majority Status: Ongoing, one action item outstanding Summary: Negative energy field void transition (ref. Aurora Lab Report for 1205-20/CX-04234-23) experiment experienced a transition divergence event due to system overload. Impact: Transition divergence resulted in loss of one person. Damage to lab equipment incurred is documented in attachment D-F-AL-05142-A-1. Notes: This report is to be only made available to the Students of Baldesion, Gage Acquisitions, and those listed in attachment D-F-AL-05142-A-4 under my sole authority. -Y.Shtola.

~*~

On the manner of this investigation, I have attempted to determine from available records what exactly occurred at the Aurora Laboratory on the day of the incident. I have looked into the logs maintained, various published articles, and held interviews with those who might provide any insight. I have reconstructed a timeline as best as I could with what I now know.

As near as can be determined, experiments earlier in the day had been conducted with nought of concern occurring. It is these experiments which I believe gave rise to the confidence with which the last was approached.

~*~

Madam Commander had spent the entire day checking the atelier, and it was getting late.

Lavender had helped as she was able, of course. That was her purpose, after all, and she saw it through. The nullstone facsimile, the gloriole containment assembly, the aetheric alignment array, all carefully checked and rechecked. Experiments re-run, observations rerecorded. Apples came back, misting but edible. The carbuncle returned, excited and no wiser than before. Lavender herself had made the journey once more, despite Zoissette’s immense reluctance.

Another argument, one Lavender had won, and so she had made the trip. She found it much the same as the first one had been. Vague impressions, drifting emotion, senses and memories she could not describe.

But there and back again. Perfectly fine.

It was getting late.

Madam Commander set up the final experiment.

~*~

At or around nine bells in the evening, the equipment record clearly shows that V. Zoissette began preparation for the would-be fateful experiment. I have reproduced the laboratory’s timetable here for reference.

2107: Nullstone activated. Null field established. Gloriole containment assembly energized. 2109: Aetheric nuoliths aligned. 2115: Demi-Ozma Aetheric Field established. Aetheric nuoliths begin to establish negative energy field. 2118: Negative energy field established. 2122: (reconstructed) Subject V.Zoissette enters the Demi-Ozma containment diameter and engages the aperture.

~*~

There was a loud thud noise, and the entire building shook. “Fury!” yelped the Madam Commander, only the word started out normal, then became stretched out and deep before jumping up into a high pitched hiccough at the end.

The aperture in the negative energy field had opened to admit the Madam Commander, and it had immediately gone unstable. Lavender snapped her gaze away from the console in time to see the Madam Commander had been hoisted into midair, and was now floating and spinning.

And more.

She had lost her grip on her glasses, and they now orbited around her, spinning freely. The Madam Commander herself was bent and stretched and warped, parts of her seeming to separate and rejoin, not in any way that was physically disassembling her. It was more like looking at a twisty reflection, where parts of a person would seem to vanish and reappear as they walked past it.

Lavender began to fly over to her, but stopped herself. Pulling the Madam Commander out was not an option. Lavender was, simply, too small. And entering the field herself would not only not help the situation, but could result in Lavender becoming trapped herself.

The aetheric nuolith array began to whine as it pumped aether out, attempting to maintain the negative energy field necessary to keep the aperture open. A quick glance at the readout showed Lavender that it was rapidly beginning to operate beyond its capacity.

Everything was going wrong, and Lavender was at a loss as to what to do.

~*~

Further entries in the record had to be reconstructed from available evidence. The Allagan node provided much of this data, as did the instrumentation used to take measurements. After the insertion diversion begins, we must needs guess as to what has happened. I have gathered what knowledge I can to this end.

~*~

Madam Commander was not panicked, even as she floated helplessly in midair, her spectacles continuing to float in orbit around her. “Lavender, set the aperture to close in five seconds and then dismiss,” she said, her voice distorting, coming in and out irregularly.

Lavender quickly flew over to the console, and began to set in the commands, but then stopped. She looked over questioningly.

Madam Commander was not facing her, but somehow knew. “Do it,” she said over her shoulder, her voice as calm as ice in the morning.

~*~

The nullstone replica is used to help maintain the negative energy field. However, in case of emergency, the magicks upon it were set to release, shutting down the nullstone. It seems this safety measure was to ensure that a hostile entity would find the use of it difficult at best. Also it would seem that the assumption was that in most emergencies, the equipment would be shut down rapidly to ensure safety.

~*~

Shutting the aperture on the Madam Commander would be, according to one of the experiments that had been run with the Marine, ‘one of the worst ways to make orange juice’.

And no, she would not be dismissed. She would not leave the Madam Commander in the middle of an ongoing casualty.

“Lavender!”

She ignored the Madam Commander.

She did not panic. She was a scholar’s fairy, an anima-based aetheric construct built to purpose by what she was sure were two of the finest minds of the age, an able assistant, a faithful familiar, a creature who despite her newness had been based on gigapulses of collected battlefield tactical acumen. This was what she existed for.

She would not fail the Madam Commander.

~*~

In the situation that the aperture became unstable, I believe the Demi-Ozma aether field is meant to keep both energy field and aperture contained. The nullstone and aetheric nuolith array are meant to work as one to help maintain the energy field negative. Unfortunately, in this situation, the fail safe on the nullstone meant that the nuolith array had to perform this task alone. The full consequences of releasing an unstable system are as yet unknown, however, we can safely assume that the release of energy from such may be catastrophic.

Releasing Demi-Ozma under these conditions, therefore, was probably seen as unacceptable unsafe.

~*~

Closing the aperture was not acceptable. Leaving her in there was also not acceptable. The tidal forces would eventually tear her into pieces.

As if to punctuate her thoughts, she heard a sharp crack noise, and looked over to see a hairline fracture on the Madam Commander’s spectacles. As for the Madam Commander herself, she was, for the time being, holding out alright, even as her form continued to be distorted and bent by reality becoming unstable inside the containment barrier.

Releasing Demi-Ozma was also out of the question. The negative energy field would collapse, and if the resultant energy pulse did not outright kill the Madam Commander, the shove of the fabric of reality rippling outward would do what the tidal forces were already doing, just much, much faster.

Another crackling noise occurred, this one from outside the Demi-Ozma field. Lavender looked over to see the aetheric nuolith arrays starting to vibrate from the strain of the amount of aether they had to pump to keep the aperture open. Above her, in the roof, she could hear the emergency relief valves open and begin to vent aether into the air above the laboratory.

She was rapidly running out of time to solve this problem.

She could not keep the Madam Commander here. She could not shut down the experiment in any safe matter.

There was one, last desperate option. It would mean losing the Madam Commander, possibly forever.

But she might survive.

With a little bit of help.

She would not have much time.

She set the containment field to collapse towards the aperture’s event horizon.

Madam Commander attempted to say something, as she felt the field press in on her, as she began to be pushed through the aperture and out into the rift, but as she spoke, her words became stretched and incoherent, as single words spooled into long seconds.

That would get her through and the immediate danger would pass, but it would not be enough. Lavender kept working.

~*~

It is difficult to piece together what comes next. Nay, I can but speculate, but speculate I must, though I mislike the conclusions I draw with such insufficient data.

~*~

The Madam Commander would need aether, whether she landed in rift or in void. Enough to shield her and keep her safe. It would have to be given to her very, very quickly, faster than the aetheric array could provide it.

But not faster than Lavender could.

Lavender directed the output of the aetheric array to herself, and began to absorb the aether rapidly. Doing so was not without risk. Though a creature of aether herself, she could be simply blown out by too large an infusion of the energies, like a flame before the wind. And she could not hold too much of it without risking losing her form or herself, but those outcomes were not going to be a problem today.

She quickly worked the controls at the console as aether poured into her. She glanced over at the armature. It would not be coming with her, but she could splice herself into it, after a fashion. Make a bit of herself smaller, small enough to fit fully in it, and finish what work needed to be done to see the plan through. Once the greater part of her was gone, she would need to perform one last task.

Lavender swelled and grew rapidly, and she erupted forth, almost losing the aether she had collected. It swept up through the roof as easily as light through a window, immaterial but very present, a brilliant shining light. She reached out for it mentally before it could get fully away from her, and grabbed onto it, and made it part of her form once more.

The aperture was beginning to shut rapidly, the experiment at last coasting down. Without the Madam Commander inside of it, the failsafes could now do their job correctly. The lab would be safe once more.

Lavender carefully watched, straining to maintain her form, holding onto the last moment. And then, just before it passed, she invoked a command that the Madam Commander had never dared to use.

Scholar fairies were familiars, after all. Loyal servants to their commanders. As creatures of aether, they could quickly transfer said aether to their commanders as an additional source of power for more puissant spells. It was of little concern to the fairy, of course; their form would vanish, and it would take some time for them to cycle, regather their energy, and reform, but in the meanwhile, their commanders could use that energy to good use.

Madam Commander did not like the idea of ‘using’ Lavender like that.

She would not be getting a choice this time.

Lavender closed her eyes, and triggered her own dissipation, pouring herself through the aperture and into her commander beyond, and sparing the tiniest bit of herself to stay behind in the armature.

The aperture closed.

The lesser part of her, far simpler, and with only the tiniest bit of what made her her, operated the armature, executing its last commands. The aetheric array cycled down. The negative energy field released. The containment field stayed active just long enough to keep the energies in and vent them out safely, before it, too, released.

A pair of spectacles with one cracked lens fell to the floor, and a moment later, the armature fell as well, folding its wings as the light within its soulwell dimmed.

~*~

To summarize what we know, subject V.Zoissette entered the Demi-Ozma, with the intent of using its ability to contain a negative energy field to create an aperture with which to pass beyond the veil, and attempt traversing the rift, presumably with the intent of travelling to the thirteenth. The system promptly overloaded and control was lost over several key systems, resulting in an unstable aperture and imminent failure of multiple control mechanisms. I believe that at some point, she and her familiar completed transition into the rift, and that shortly thereafter, a complete system failure resulted in the shutdown of all laboratory equipment, and the loss of subject V.Zoissette.

She is gone.

Sette. Is gone.
