#more mercury poisoning sorry

[etirabys]

fanfic authors in the 2010s collectively decided that the feminist way to portray female side characters was to make them (1) mean people who are (2) right all the time

fave shen jiu fics? i need to read more of him!

I'm incredibly sorry for answering so late!

I made a list with everything I've read and liked so far, hope this helps and can somehow make it up for my lateness! I tried to link the fics but tumblr is being a little bitch, so I had to remove them.

Also, this list includes smut as well, make sure to read the tags!

PAC : Messages from your throat chakra

Throat chakra is the chakra or energy center present at the neck region of our body , governs mostly speaking skills , in this PAC i intuitively channel messages from your throat chakra , use your intuition to choose one pile or multiple and take what resonates. Feedbacks are so helpful . Thank you so much for the love and support .

Masterlist

Let's get into it : ⬇️

Pile 1 :

Believe in your prophecies and what you speak , get it done when you give your word to someone your mercury and jupiter/sun must have some aspects , your voice flows like honey gazing at the stars . You are very good at convincing people giving them support and the motivation they need , you're someone whom everyone needs but who speaks for you ? Isn't that what you wonder now and then well my dear I believe my hero has forgotten the weapon all along has been you and your existence use it , fear not the charisma of your own voice let it shine speak more keep more of your mind . Specifically consume butterfly pea tea , some of you might be shiv Bhakts or might have liking towards knowing more about poisons . Quite the kind you are :)

Pile 2 :

I'm sorry love but you don't speak for yourself at all , I know the pressure is heavy and I know it feels as if you cannot breathe but trust me one who doesn't speak for themselves do the biggest crimes to themselves you cannot bear the allegations of you being scared , so be not it !!!!!! If you have a friend who does speak for you in such situations be grateful to them offer them food and thank them , they will be so happy with your gratefulness. Speak against your mother in law . Foster children or children in general who are going to pursue a career they're not a fond of might be in this pile, you need to talk, write down your points in a diary , speak your mind , you need some yoga more than food , you might experience stuttering , try out some mudras. Take care I so believe in you

Pile 3 :

Your throat might be perfect or a little overactive if overactive you might experience you saying wrong things at the wrong times, highs and lows like insulting someone and feeling so bad you cannot sleep. Not being able to talk when In shock mode . It's a defense against people who underestimated you , journal more. You're gonna be great

The other lot of people have a well balanced chakra one way to understand that would be pronunciation when learning new languages are you getting that easily if yes you're at the right Pile , you need not worry much. Your favourite colour might be blue or purple , i get that some of you might be Gryffindor (Harry Potter) . You need to always speak softly to your mom alright . I'm proud of you.

Pile 4 :

Your energy is quite non chalanant more like speak first think later kind , what I find funny is you guys are never too caught for your mischief , very witty Hermes kinda energy. I don't think throat chakra demands much attention right now just treat your neighbours right , you're sweet to your family and loved ones and they sweetly root for you all the time. One advice for you tho is to use blue water bottle or blue cutlery , stare at the sky more take swims basically just enjoy summer, you're sure to discover new things about yourself. Now isn't starry night by Van Gogh one of your fav painting ? Love love

Thank u so much for reading love love

Hi uhm sorry if I bother you: could you please write Percy x daughter of Disciplina (minor Roman goddess of discipline) who’s very uhm well rules-oriented, similar to Jason and cold and military though secretly loves cute and chaotic things (though doesn’t partake) so it’s kind of a rival to lovers situation please? And they meet when Percy arrives at the camp Jupiter? Thank you so much and feel free to decline ofc! Bye bye! Ps: loved your Nike series and I can’t wait for the Hypnos piece too! Take your time though, ofc!

This was a cute idea <3 and I liked writing about Camp Jupiter I haven't had any roman demigod requests before! sorry it took so long I'm multitasking so much haha but this ended up as 2.1k words lol <3

rules orders kisses instructions---Percy Jackson x roman child of Disciplina

»»————-　★　————-««

-First of all, it wasn’t your fault that you managed to bring the most chaotic, rule breaking, cute, carefree, demigod into Camp Jupiter.

-You were posted just inside the borders, watching for monsters and the like, and though you’d never admit it, it was one of the quietest and therefore dullest spots for patrol. Nothing ever came through, and you spent most of your time sharpening your weapon and spotting cloud animals. Until something did come through, namely, the bane of your entire existence. 

-He came running over the hills with a panda pillow pet and a bronze sword, followed by a hoard of screeching monsters, telling ‘Perseus Jackson’ that today was the day he would die. At the time, rescuing this random demigod was the right thing to do, but looking back, if you had just let him be trampled by the contents of Tartarus, it would have fixed a lot of your problems. Instead you opened the gates to Camp Jupiter and let him in.

-Both of you stood beyond the gates, which were made out of some solid metal that the Trivia kids had installed. They had never disclosed what it was that vaporized the monsters the second they touched it. You should probably check in with that, now that you think about it. 

-Perseus had made quite the fuss when the first cohort and the praetors showed up, making giant hands out of one of the rivers that ran along the edge of the city and then being introduced by a god. He took it all in his stride, and even had the nerve to back-talk Octavian [something you’d never admit to wanting to do yourself]. 

-You hated him immediately.

-Well, maybe not hate, hate was a strong word for simple feelings. You would just rather if Percy [he had corrected the use of his name immediately. You were grateful. Perseus was a stupid name.] had a bit more respect for the way Camp Jupiter worked, and stopped teaching the younger soldiers swear words during meal times. 

-A few days into his stay, he approached you in one of the large canvas tents set up. You’d been mapping out which of the hills you were going to use as a base in the next war game with Dakota, when he tripped on his shoelaces and righted himself, grinning at both you and Dakota. 

-Apparently he wanted to thank you for not leaving him out the border to fight off the army of monsters on his tail, and volunteered to help out on your team during the war games in return.

-You told him you would consider once he learnt to tie his shoelaces properly.

-You’d then assumed that would be the last of it, thankfully, [although for some reason you’d scan the fifth cohorts section sometimes for a mess of black hair, but you were just trying to keep the younger soldiers vocabulary appropriate. Obviously.] and spent the rest of the day taking poisonous bows and quivers off the children of Mercury, and explaining to the daughter of Pluto that she wasn’t allowed to ‘have a go at summoning a horse skeleton for funsies’.

-Reyna marched between the canvas tents with her metal dogs, barking instructions and sending out a few Helios kids and legacies as medics.

-Ten minutes before the game officially started, when the opposite side were posted up too far away to see their silhouettes on the mountain ridge, and the children of Mars were untying the war elephant from its posts and readying it for battle, Percy burst back into the tent. One of the leopards getting a spiked collar attached to its neck growled, but settled back down when Dakota spoke sharply to it. Lavinia went to shoo Percy out, but something about the easy grin on his lips made you wave a hand, and Lavinia went back to instructing the Vulcan children. 

-Percy ran to you, and in quite the untimely fashion, kicked one of his feet up onto the battle plans, mud and dirt smearing across the maps and charts. Before you could yell at him, you spotted his shoes. 

-“How’s that for being allowed to fight?” Somehow, in the few hours he’d had spare, Percy had acquired a pair of purple velcro sneakers. 

-You stood there for a moment, and then narrowed your eyes at him, folding your arms as well, just to make your point. “If you left Camp Jupiter I will have to report you, you know that, right?”

-He just smirked. “You like me too much. And don’t worry, I traded Octavian's diary for them, some Venus legacy guy had a spare pair. Purple isn’t really my color, but watch!”

-Thankfully, he took his feet off the table, but a moment later he was running across the cramped tent, and threw his arms out for balance as small wheels popped out of the soles of his shoes. A coat of shields crashed to the floor, and the leopard in the corner jumped to its feet and scampered out. Someone yelled and Percy proceeded to spin in a circle and then slip and fall.

-For the first time, you became annoyed that your reflexes were so good, because Percy was sprawled out in your arms, which were under his, keeping him from becoming impaled by a stray electric spear. You held your breath for as long as you could, pulling your expression into one blank of emotions, but then you couldn’t hold it any longer. 

-You laughed.

-Pery turned around, pulling his shirt down and skidding a little on the floor. His green eyes you only just noticed were the same shade as the lake near the stables were wide, and he was slack jawed. 

-Your stomach started to hurt as you giggled, “what?”

-“You can laugh!”

-“Of course I can laugh, Perseus, I am a person.”

-“I didn’t know you could laugh. And it’s Percy, don’t make fun of me.”

-You went back to glaring at him quickly, and he visibly dulled. You just rolled your eyes and began brushing mud dewy grass of the battle plans. He peeked over your shoulder, hair tickling your neck, so you planted one of the little markers Dakota liked to use to show where people would be patrolling. 

-Percy pouted, and you quickly looked away from his mouth [why were you even looking at his mouth?], “can’t I be the horse?”

-“The Pluto girl is the horse, she’s making sinkholes along the tracks to our base, trying to dilute the flow of soldiers. You can be the dog, it’s cute.”

-“You think I’m cute?”

-His smile when he said that was in fact, cute, but you didn’t tell him that. Instead you picked up another of the little coloured markers, and moved it to where you’d initially put the dog. “Fine, you can be the toucan, because you’re an imbecile.” 

-“No wait, I wanna be the dog now... And what did toucans ever do to you?” 

»»————-　★　————-««

-You became quite accustomed to the sound of smooth clicking, a scrape, and then Percy yelping and bumping into the back of you over the next few days. 

To the north, beyond the gods, lies the legion's crown. 

Falling from ice, the son of Neptune shall drown.

-You didn’t see him off. 

-You knew it wasn’t polite, the entirety of the army stood on the shore as Percy, the Pluto girl, and the boy who cared for the war elephant waved them off. But you stayed at your post by the border instead, watching cloud animals and pretending not to see someone sinking to their death in each one.

-But the army didn’t sit with him at every meal because technically, you were a superior and didn’t have an assigned legion, you had just usually sat with Reyna or Jason. You’d eat the breads and nuts and fruits the satyrs and harpies brought while Percy ate everything in sight that was even slightly blue. 

-The army wasn’t given a daisy chain as a crown when you showed Percy through the gardens, the trees and flowers acting as borders to the paths leading across the city in the direction of the universities and shops. The army didn’t find an old basketball in the weapons shed and learn to play with Percy, because he couldn’t remember playing before, but he was good. 

-The army didn’t sneak him into the stables because really you weren’t allowed but somehow the rearing black stallions calmed him when his breathing got too fast and uneven. 

-The army didn’t sit at the edge of the river bed while he ducked under and splashed around like a happy duckling. That stopped when the prophecy was first spoken. Percy skirted around puddles on the last day.

»»————-　★　————-««

-There was blood. Lots of it. Smoke wafting from the scattered fires and screams piercing the muggy air. 

-You held your weapon tightly in your hand, back to back with Dakota as he brandished a baseball bat wound tight with thorny vines that curled and writhed like snakes. 

-Monsters crawled over the mountain ridge in waves, at least half of them squashed by the giant stomping in circles and roaring, creating miniature earthquakes with each step. Alcyoneus was forty feet tall, his skin a metallic sort of color that shone like the sun Helios was bringing into the middle of the stormy sky. 

-The fifth legion ran into places, maps and diagrams you’d drilled into them, finally being put to use as they worked effortlessly. The war elephant had doubled, somehow, and both charged at the violent giant currently ripping the roof off the stables, knocking him sideways.

-For a short moment, you assumed maybe a finger had been cut off from the monster, as a bronze sort of color streaked across the horizon, but then it came to a stop in front of Lavinia, who was dragging an unconscious demigod across the battlefield in the direction of the hidden medic base by the university. 

-Hazel, the Pluto girl [you’d finally learnt her name] sat atop a stallion, her cavalry helmet over her curly hair. You made eye contact, and her shoulder sunk, but you weren’t sure if it was with relief or disappointment. You couldn’t see her expression from across the bloodstained distance, but you could see the blue harpy foaming at the mouth behind her, talons outstretched. 

-You turned to Dakota, but he was already kneeling a little, bracing himself as you stepped on one of his hands, and then he launched you forwards and up, up into the smokey air filled with screams and wails. 

-Time slowed a little as you positioned yourself, wind whipping your eyes and making them sting. Hazel ducked as you flipped over her and landed on the Harpies back, rolling it away and further down the hill. Talons raked your cheek, and you whacked it over the head, hard.

-The bronze streak was gone already. Somehow the horse was running vertically up the side of the giant, and then began circling its neck.

-The sleeve of your purple shirt was ripped free and you held it to your face, the deep cuts dripping down your neck and already staining your skin in dark red blotches. Pain prickled, but you felt a chill down your spine, and by the time you had turned, the horned snake’s jaw was already unhinged, fangs dripping with something dark and oily and ready to bite.

-Your heart slowed, or maybe it sped up, all you knew was that it was the only thing you could hear.

-You held your arms in front of your scratched up face and tried to roll, but the snake's tail was already heavy across you, pining you to the blood stained cobblestone ground. You reached for where your weapon had been lost in the wrestle a moment before, but then there was a dragged out squelching sound and a ‘shing’. 

-The snake froze, and then its head slipped off its body, landing by Percy’s feet.

-He launched forwards as quickly as the snake had, only he pulled you from the cocoon of scales, panting. Your hands shook, and Percy’s eyes widened when he spotted the splatter of blood on your neck, his face going pale.

-You shook your head weakly, “just my cheek, it’s not bad.”

-He nodded, and then you were once again wrapped up tightly, this time by Percy’s arms. You noticed vaguely that he was actually pretty buff, but then you felt your eyes prickle with emotion.

-He stepped back quickly, ducking his head, “sorry, I..”

-“You didn’t drown.”

- “I technically did but it’s all good now-” 

-You cut him off with another hug, your face buried in his shoulder, probably covering him in your own blood as well, but Percy didn’t seem to mind when he hugged you back, chest heaving. You sniffed, trying not to cry, hands tight around his hoodie, “you smell like incense and hay.”

-“That, yeah that explains a lot of it actually.”

-“You don’t get to go on another quest without me, that’s an order.”

-“Yes please.”

Chapter Four: Nausea

"I will poison all your happy times, I will love you like the ashes in my cigarette box."

-The Crane Wives, Tounges and Teeth

(money insecurity, unhealthy relationship, implied homelessness, anxiety)

The on the road life is better suited for you, you feel more secure with the peeling, old wallpapers of whichever hotel you end up in than the walls you had painted with Johnny the beds reeking of mildew feel more familiar than the wide warm one you used to share with them.

Faces forgotten before you can commit them to memory, places gone with nothing to mourn them by, nightly vigels to the best thing that ever happened to you spent anxiously looking out foggy windows for any silhoutte resembling theirs, listening for uniform footsteps louder than an earthquacke and as familiar as the little compartment you've sewn in your backpack, containing a new ID, fake passoport ,ever-changing burner phones and your unstable money supply.

You're in your element when no one knows you, when people don't commit your face to memory, when they're ingenuine and changing. it's familiar and homey when you know every escape route and every card in the deck, it's not so familiar too with the ever present threat of being found breathing down your neck, you know too well how attached they are and how many strings they have to pull, you've seen it firsthand.

Even then you can't blame them, they fell for someone they thought was good and from this distance it's easier then ever to paint yourself as the villan, the one who stirred the water when all was well, pushed buttons he knew he shouldn't have pushed, tested boundaries that had been set in stone when they were finnaly comfortable, when all was finnaly well.

It started out small, just a way to relieve your tension, just a way to adjust and get some breathing room;

It was the small ritualistic details you started neglecting at first, not stocking the pantry, keeping the house messy before they came home from deployments, not kissing them goodnight or goodbye. They didn't get mad, they didn't even notice, John stepped up readily when you neglected the house and Simon happily went out for groceries whenever you 'forgot', and that set you off worst. The little things you'd built your life, your place in the relationship around where unimportant to them, just something someone else could do without much fuss.

Then it was keeping the door unlocked on the night you knew they'd be coming home, sleeping on the couch by yourself with the excuse of 'feeling smothered', going out and not telling them whene you were going or when you'd be back knowing you were leaving then anxious and frazzled worried for your safety and nothing else, they were good, too good for somone like you. So good that Simon sat you down and explained that he understood you needed some space and that them being gone one day and then then being so present and loud could be hard to get used to.

"Me 'n Johnny just want ya safe angel."

Simon and that understanding smile on his face, always considerate and understanding to the people he loved like a wise parent lecturing a misbehaving yet well meaning child. You spat in the face of that.

"You both are overreacting Si, I know y'all got this skewed view of the world because the military n shit but I'm an adult, I don't need bodyguards."

His face fell, John turned around momentarily to check on the conversation.

"It's not like that, 'n you should know by now. We love you, we want you safe, you're the one with the skewed view and if you keep this bullshit up there's gonna be reprucussions-"

"Simon."

John cut in walking over to the kitchen table and giving him a look, Simon deflated running a hand over his face and you felt the familiar pain of being a disappointment, of misguiding and upsetting. It was wose when you know you love them and do it anyway knowing the things they'd been through.

"Sorry.."

You mumble, his dark eyes soft as they met yours. His bare hands clasped on his lap, he's rubbing his own knuckles.

"Jus' - jus' be safe yeah? Take care o' yourself when we can't, keep our heads clear? For us, angel."

You nodded knowing full well that despite your guilt you had found a nerve and you weren't the good person you had cruelly convinced them you were. You revealed in uncertainties and tension, you hadn't been anywhere this long since your teenage years when you got kicked out. You weren't deserving of this care, this love so you were doing the right thing driving them away or perhaps you just liked being cared for in such avident and raw way either way you were dead weight at best and a parasite at worst.

The tension rose when you kept doing it, John was the first to snap when you introduced them as your friends to some work acquaintances. He broke down, screamed raw and bloody, punched a wall and pulled out his hair as Simon desperately tried to play mediator.

"How could ye?! How fucking could ye, you ungrateful, lying cunt!"

John screamed as you stood leaning against the wall his knuckles were still kissed white and bleeding from the hole they had left in the drywall. His aquamarine eyes squinted and wet, his breaths quick and shallow like a wounded bird.

"We live together! We sleep in the same god damn bed, that's my sweater on ye back, 'n ye sit there and call us your mates?! Yer buddies?! I swear to fucking god ye better have brain damage or I wi-"

Simon grabbed him by the shoulders before he could go on any further. You understood why he was mad, he had opened his heart out to someone he had trusted for so long not knowing he was a snake in the grass, he wanted his love, his safe space, his importance in your life validated especially after all the anxiety you had put them both through with your planned recklessness.

And you broke, in retrospect it could have been so much better if you hadn't, maybe then you'd have some resentfull exs instead of this manhunt with every card stacked against you.

You sobbed, apologized over and over again, promised you'd be better, promised you'd behave, you loved them, you really loved them, the pain in Johnny's voice was unlike anything you'd seen and you meant it too. You didn't wanna be stranded and drifting again, by yourself in the world.

"Ye know we won't ever let ye go angel, promise."

You broke your promises time and time again, they snapped and you broke, but guilt wasn't enough to scratch this constant itch under your skin. Waiting, salivating for when they finnaly got fed up with you like everyone else, it enraged you when they didn't.

Shit hit the fan when you spent two nights at a friend's house and kept your phone on silent, came home with her perfume spritzed on your neck, then you ended up in the cabin and realized some bonds had to be severed phisicaly.

So here you are now, in the roadie lifestyle you're used to, overgrown beard and bloodshot eyes, feet bloody and swollen in your shoes, always cold, always tired, never quite clean. Walking home with a measly paycheck in your pocket and TV dinner in a shopping bag, you're always tense, always on edge knowing full well they've most likely moved on, hopefully.

Life on the road isn't as secure as it used to be, not when their love made you soft and comfortable.

You miss warm beds, you miss a stable job and your warm clean home but most importantly you miss them, you miss them like an amputated limb, like you can reach out and feel the muscles hanging loose, the veins burst and drooling where you hacked them off; it's easier to deal with when you remind yourself people like you don't deserve things like that.

You're just outside your hotel rooms door when some primal, animal instinct straightens your spine, something isn't right.

You look inside from the windows check inside, your measly possessions are all where they ought to be, just when you're about to close to door you see them.

Footsteps, on the snow, big, bigger than yours and deep, pure snow filthied by mud somone tried to cover them up but they're still there.

You can't tell if they're combat boots that John favoured or the hiking shoes Simon sweared by but it sets you off anyways, primal fear and anxiety, restlessness churning in your gut as you pack all of your belongings.

Same game, new rules.

Okay I have not heard the magia story

Mind sharing/linking to a previous post? /gen

The story is/was somewhere in my #chronic health tag: teeth tag, but basically, I had a dentist in the UK who, the last time I heard, was wanted for criminal malpractice and still hasn't been found. He had a habit of using contaminated materials, which is how I almost died from mercury poisoning and likely developed mast cell activation syndrome.

Anyway, it's been an ongoing joke between myself and some irl friends (like @only-in-movies) that, given I grew up in a fairly affluent area where people involved in organized crime like to raise their kids to avoid, y'know, the crime, and that I wasn't the only child/teen he hurt, there's a chance he was flung into the Clyde wearing concrete boots.

It's 100000% more likely he moved somewhere else and is hiding or offed himself. Tumblr just took the in-joke and made it "canon."

So yeah, sorry, there is no actual "mafia killed my dentist" story. Just wishful thinking joking speculation.

Hi, so umm can you make angst of Zack Seph please? 🥺♥️❤️🫂

Oooooh, angst?? >:3cc Coming right up! 💕🔪

Fsr my mind always reverts to hospital angst so dhdhdhdhdhdhhd

~

We don’t know if he’ll live.

All throughout his life, Zack had been told that words couldn’t hurt him. He had been told time and time again that someone’s tongue clicking against their teeth couldn’t bring him any harm. He had been told since the day he took his first breaths on this planet that, no matter how much force they may be delivered with, words would always be just that—words. They were nothing but meaningless pockets of air, all but weightless ripples of sound. They couldn’t make him bleed; they couldn’t cause him pain; they couldn’t stab into his skin like a knife laced with poison.

So how did those words tear every muscle in his body apart?

Shivering, Zack’s breath constricted in his throat as he studied the condition of his cherished friend, shrouded in a deep and numbing silence broken only by the horrendous beeps that blithely chirped from the monitor. All was but a blinding terrain of pink-soaked white; the bony color covered more of Seph’s skin than did his actual flesh, from the pale blanket mummifying his shredded body to the layers of gauze wrapped around his stagnant chest and ragdoll arms. Chances are that no one would even recognize the man had it not been for the iconic silver hair gushing down his sides, several stands still stained from being drenched in viscous crimson, the cavernous slash stitched down his breastbone having provided the…

Zack choked on his breath, unable to bear the gruesome imagery all of over again.

He stopped himself by reaching out instead.

“Hey, bud…” The SOLDIER extended his arm, voice hardly above a sopping whisper as he aimed to place a hand on his friend’s shoulder. “Can you hear me in there…?”

Nothing; silence, breath, beeping.

Zack swallowed.

“I’m… I’m right here, bud. You’re safe. You’re safe now…”

Breath, silence, beeping.

Zack’s hand finally reached his shoulder, fingers trembling as they grazed the ailing skin.

“I’m… I’m sorry, bud.” The apology was bleeding out before Zack could even stop it, blue eyes beginning to haze, another choke rattling his lips. “It should be me in there. Me. I… I shoulda been so much stronger. I shoulda been able to handle that stupid thing. I shoulda been able to hold onto my sword, and… Shit…” Zack rubbed his eyes as a sniffle splintered his thoughts, his chest on the verge of buckling under the guilty weight, looking back at his blooded friend with a haze-hindered gaze. “You shouldn’t have had to save me. You shouldn’t have. I… No… You’re always saving my skin out there. You’re always taking care of me. Why on fucking Gaia can I never do the same for you…?”

Zack clutched his shoulder tighter, his head dipping under its unbearable pressure.

The monitor continued to beep.

“Gaia… please. Just… just hang in there, bud…” Zack slowly lifted his gaze again. “You… you gotta. Okay? I… I need you. I need my buddy. I don’t wanna lose him…” There was another choke, his voice quivering with another broken shiver. “Gaia… please, Seph. Please…”

When the tears finally came, they came in a burning river, and Zack didn’t try to fight a single one of them as he stood in the burning silence of ShinRa’s medical wing. He did nothing but let the rain stream down his cheeks; stinging, acidic, beseeching…

“Gaia… please, Seph. I love you, bud. I love you so much. You gotta hang in there… okay? You just gotta. I’m right here. I’m right beside ya. You can come back… right?” And he removed his hand, bringing out his other one, leaning forward to gingerly envelope his treasured friend in a delicate embrace.

“Please…” he whispered one final time into the mercury strands. “Please, Sephiroth… I can’t relive it again.”

Seeing what my sister knows about the Mechanisms - Spoilers: Not enough

I love my sister, I do. She lets me rant to her about the Mechanisms 24/7. But the real question is whether or not she pays attention to what I say. I decided to quiz her and see how much she retains from our conversations <3

DTTM Spoilers/Talk

Starting off with everyone's favorite Captain First Mate!

Name: Jonny d'Ville | Mechanism: Blood | Role: Master at Arms

"He's cool I guess"

Not really surprised by her response to him, nor am I shocked she got his Mechanism wrong since when I first asked her to do this, she was like "I only know three of them. Jonny d'Ville, Nastya Rasputina, and Jonny Sims" and I had to remind her that two of those were the same person. Speaking of Nastya Rasputina!

Name: Nastya Rasputina | Mechanism: Lungs | Role: Pilot

"My favorite" Proceeded to give a thumbs up.

As I taught her, Nastya is best girl and deserves the whole world. I am rather shocked she got her Mechanism wrong as I once word vomited to her about mercury poisoning when I was plotting for a Nastya-centric fic, but its okay. Next up is Ashes!

Name: Ashes O'Reilly | Mechanism: Eyes | Role: Quartermaster

"They're cool, I like them"

Used the wrong pronouns but immediately realized and corrected herself before I had to so that's a win that she paid attention there. (We stan an ally <3) I talk about Ashes so much so I'm surprised that she got their Mechanism wrong but its okay, I still love her. Now to an Archivist who actually knows how to do her job (this is S1 Jon Sims slander, I am not sorry, he did not know what he was doing)

Name: Ivy Alexandria | Mechanism: Brain | Role: ????

"I don't really know...Ivy I guess is cool."

I don't talk about Ivy as much as I should, which I really should change because Ivy is amazing. When asked about why she was '????' she just went "I don't know...she has those vibes." which is 100% understandable. Time for the drumbot himself!

Name: Drumbot Brian | Mechanism: All but Heart | Role: Engineer

"Cool."

How does she not have more to say about him? He's been the focus of my rants since I got home from Uni on Sunday and all she has to say is 'cool'. Engineer is at least the closest she could get to Pilot, but I'm still a bit disappointed she didn't get all the answers right. On to her...absolute favorite, TS.

Name: Toy Soldier | Mechanism: All but Voice | Role: Archivist

"The Toy Soldier is the best character and there's no doubt about that."

Her answer came so quickly after I asked her how she felt about TS, I honestly can't say I'm surprised though. She thinks it's a silly little creature. Now to the man that I'm like 100% sure she has a love/hate relationship with, Tim.

Name: Gunpowder Tim | Mechanism: Heart | Role: First Mate

"Cool."

Once again, really confused about how she doesn't have more to say about him. He's literally carrying a huge gun so like, a tad confused on my she didn't think he was Master at Arms, but its alright. Funnily enough, she got the next two completely right, starting with Marius.

Name: Marius von Raum | Mechanism: Arm | Role: Doctor

"His arm is cool."

Applause for her getting everything correct. I force her to listen to The Wassailant in the car. There is no surprise she got his stuff right because I talk about Kofi, and by default Marius, so often. And finally, last but not least, Raphaella <3

Name: Raphaella la Cognizi | Mechanism: Wings | Role: Science Officer

"Just take off the wings and she'd be cooler. Just saying."

The disappointment when she said that was at its peak. I cannot believe that she would say that about the Raphaella la Cognizi and I will be making sure she changes her ways.

I'm not too surprised with Nastya and TS being her favorites, seeing as I talked about them most when I first got into Mechs, but the Raph slander was absolutely uncalled for </3

I also asked her some lore questions.

Q: What is the ship’s name? | A: Aurora

Q: Who is dating the starship, The Aurora? | A: Jonny

Q: Which Mechanism Mechanized themself? | A: Nastya

Q: Who was the first Mechanism? | A: Jonny

Q: Who were the last two Mechanisms to join the crew? | A: Marius and Ivy

Q: Who was the first Mechanism to die/leave the crew? | A: Tim

Q: Who was the last Mechanism to die, timeline-wise? | A: Jonny

Q: Which Mechanism died by death by Octokittens? | A: Brian

Q: Which Mechanism has a morality switch? | A: Brian

Q: Who had a ‘best friend’ named Bertie? | A: Jonny

Q: Which one is an arsonist? | A: Raphaella

Q: Which one blew up the moon? | A: Tim

Q: Which one is a cannibal? | A: Marius

All in all, somewhat disappointed in my ability to get this cemented into her brain </3 Glad she at least was able to match names to faces so I'm at least showing her enough photos of them, but I will definitely start talking to her about Mechs lore more because she needs to know and understand it all.

I will still say that a success is convincing her and my mom to do matching Life360 photos with the most iconic sibling duo and their mother <3

[boxwinebaddie]

if you don’t mind me asking, how in the everloving fuck did you get mercury AND arsenic poisoning?? is that common??

siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

so, no...thankfully, my dear, sweet darling:

i don't think it's terribly common, ( neither was the arsenic i guess, but i'll get into that ) but it is when you're stupid as fuck like me.

because i am too lazy to type it all out again and don't have it in me to be eloquent ( i am saving that for writing about the boys, now that i, thankfully, can coherently write again ) i will send you the synopsis that i sent elite sickfic style dr. ana ( god's fucking angel )

**it's the updated, more articulate ( give or take ) version because i tried to explain it to the girls the day i got home ( take it easy on them please, i couldn't text or call and gave them quite a fright, ily girlies ) unfortunately, i was still not super good at making words and processing things, so i wrote this now that i am functioning better.

sorry for spooking you all about the parasite; long story short, it was not as deadly as i thought -- I DID, HOWEVER, STILL HAVE A VERY NASTY BACTERIAL INFECTION, LIKE WHEN I SAY NASTY, I MEAN VERY, VERY, VERY BAD AND I WAS FIGHTING IT CONCURRENTLY WITH THE PARA WHICH MADE IT SEEM A LOT WORSE, VERY ASS!

but long story, medium:

alright! gather round kids --

it's uncle nina story time.

tw for gross medical stuff / me being in mentally ill hell

anyways, looking forward to sharing my writing with you all again and answering my asks if we still care!

love you and hyh,

metal head uncle nina

[qyburnsghost]

If you had the chance to change something about the dance of the dragons (TV show or book), what would it be? For example, how a character dies, which team a house is on,or an entire character personally. How would you change it to make the story better, in your opinion?♥️🖤💙💚

wow i almost missed this question! book wise i'm kinda okay with everything although i would say some people deserved to die more brutally than what they got ..

on the show however i would change so much… i would keep most of the book plot. if we have to do the rhaelicent friendship i would make it more in depth but keep it as toxic as it is. i would keep the book part where laena and rhaenyra are very close and possibly lovers. . it would be a good contrast to show the difference between real friendship and toxic friendship. i would give rhaneyra and alicent more conviction and agency. alot of times they are going back and forth instead of making decisions they want or for themselves. i would keep daemon more like book daemon, yes hes mercurial and hot tempered but he loves his family and various women, on the show it seems he only loves himself, not even his own kids. i would have kept how he got laena which was killing her fiance to have her, i'd show how much he loved her instead of treating her like shit and i would keep rhaenyra and laenor frequent visits to her and daemon and how she flied her personal maester to try to save her, and i would get rid of her stupid death scene, and keep the book version where he carries her to her dragon and him and rhaenyra stayed vigil over her body, that way when they fuck at her funeral it can be in grief instead of the most disrespectful shit ever, maybe then their kids wont look so fucking dejected at their wedding. oh yea i would make it seem like daemon actually loves his daughters instead of walking away from them after their mom dies and ignoring them after they got punched and pushed by a boy instead of smiling in the corner like a jackass... wait why am i rewriting everything?

i would have kept the scene where younger rhaenyra plays with baby aegon, i would have rhaenyra and aegon actually interact at least ONCE before they decide to go to war with each other. id have rhae actually have a moment or two with harwin so ppl won't be shocked she has 3 kids by him without even a kiss.i would like aemond to actually interact with helaena!

i would have like to known how cripsy was able to kill a guest at a wedding IN FRONT OF EVERYONE

i would have alicent smother viserys in his sleep, sorry.. or perhaps poisoning him this whole time, not this OOPS i heard a prophecy wrong

also fuck that prophecy, its worthless in the end, since arya fucking stark kills the NK she never knew or met before, truly aegon,viserys and rhaenyra are following a prophecy that ENDS HOUSE TARGARYEN, why the fuck would they even keep it in the show. my ass itches everytime they mention it

i would like to know how jace and luke feel being bastards , i would actually like to get to know them and the dragon twins. id let the older dragon twins actually have LINES instead of cutting them or nothing at all. also how stupid to cut baela scene, because when rhaenys joins you have no fucking idea why cause she was jjust like 'bye bitch this not my problem' after coming out the fucking ground after doing a terrorist attack

I would like to know why the velaryons are such fucking doormats for targaryens, corlys brother died and hes like WHOOPS. bitch your daughter is dead and you think they killed your son, what you mean oops.

i would have kept or had laena claiming of vhagar to see how its different than aemond. since they want him to be making mistakes and shit and having statements like we don't control dragons or not to be played with, well we see laena use her dragon for playing and fun even shooting fire and the dragon does eventually obey her and kill her (stupid shit) so we may as know why she had a better hold on vhagar. i wouldn't have made storms end a complete accident but rather a crime of passion.. so like the book he meant to kill him but once its over, 'what have i done?' its a Pyrrhic victory, he's drawn first blood and everyone will pay.. 'what did i do?'

season 2, no way i would merge rhaena with nettles, they have nothing AND I MEAN NOTHING in common .. a rich privileged timid girl whose already entitled to dragon and doesn't really need to pavlov dog a dragon vs a poor orphan who has nothing, possibly not even blood..just intelligence... can you imagine rhaena grabbing a sheep and slaughtering it ? i'm not even royalty or rich and i can't imagine grabbing one and bringing it anywhere for any purpose even if its a gain. and if shes getting shepherds help, even more boring. it doesn't hit the same but nice to know that just because addam and rhaena are black in the show, they are some how interchangeable with her, also cutting her has alot of consequences for battle scenes, for motivations,for changes in characters personality, for questions about blood and magic of targaryens and what she later becomes for the future which appears in later game of thrones books.

so for the long rant perhaps this was too much..

Dr Wily's World Domination FINALE: Part 0

//transcript of a Discord RP with a lot of people. List:

@rogue-nebula (Quasar), @freeroaming-curiosity (Oppy), @mechanical-hearth (Clara), @ripper-the-indoraptor ("Ripper"), @that-one-poison-trainer (Viper), @averagedualies (Dualie and Byte)

@still-capricious (GaMzEe (WiTh QuIrK)),@mirror-buster-pkmn (Enker, Ballade, and Mega Man), @the-poke-virus (Virus (no quirk)) @beepboopstarman (Vasilyev)

@moonlit-faller (Kaladin, Sylphrena), @shallahi-and-snowflake (Shallahi), @mercury-retrogay (Mercury), @rock-bird-go-brr (Notos) @nebula-incursionists-official (Baron Twyst Von Jokewyld)

(dear arc that's a lot hope I got everyone)

With all the Robot Masters defeated, The Incursionists began formulating a plan of attack on Wily's stronghold. They knew they'd need numbers, so they reached out to those they had worked with before, and those who had been affected by the Robot Masters' attacks. Eventually they had gathered a little band, and guided them to meet in Incursionist Alley in the Dimensional Nexus, through whatever teleport was closest (Ballonlea, Slateport, or Nimbasa). Quasar has set up a table with several different things around it, each pertinent to planning the attack on Wily's fortress. He was just finishing setting up when he heard people coming in. Courier 6 was first, the Courier looked over the table, yeah, he can definitely handle this, especially since they're doing this as a group. Ripper only kinda understands what's happening, but otherwise shares the Courier's confidence in its capabilities. Viper and Virus both appear holding each other's hands. Viper looks a lot more distressed than Virus.

"how do you do that without getting a headache?"

skill

Enker and Ballade were already there, the purple robot taking up easily twice as much space as Enker.

"Who else are we waiting on?"

Viper notices the war table and realizes "oh this is like serious serious. Notos appears, looking more than a little disoriented. Oppy appears after them

Yeah sorry teleports can get wonky >.<

The Baron then teleports in, dropping Mercury from the Alley ceiling. (Thank Arceus for roommates with wings,) Mercury thinks as they drop directly onto the floor.

"Hello everyone, apologies for being late. Or at the very least, on time."

They brush themselves off and adjust their coat.

You didn't specify what height you wanted me to drop you off at, how can I be blamed for that?

Kaladin, the giant that he was, had to sit for this meeting. His Rosharan blood didn't exactly help him in these rooms not made for his height. Next to him, though, was a small, blue person.

"We've taken out all of their commanders. They're not surrendering yet?"

Nope... Guess this guy wants to fight to the last

Dualie and Byte scrambled in, fashionably late “Sorry! Agh- got held up with something” Byte just quietly waved, wandering over to where the others were

"Hi, welcome to Chili's."

so looks like we have quite the rouge's gallery here today!

VIRUS! I'm so sorry about her she basically has no filter

Wrong! I used to have a child lock filter but not fucking anymore

I mEaN, iT wOrKs. I'd SaY wE'rE pReTtY rOgUiSh

heh. yeah

alright then. So I'm assuming we're all here today to find a way to defeat that Dr. Wily character?

That we are. We still have a few more we're waiting on, but we can catch them up later. he wheels out a whiteboard and grabs a marker Thank you all for joining us in he uncaps the marker, only for it to let out an ear-piercing scream, fly out of Quasar's hand, draw a mustache and glasses on his face, and fly into the Baron's suit For arc's sake- Notos peeks back out from behind the chair they’d dived behind when the marker screamed, then valiantly attempts to stifle their laughter. WOW that was not a good sensory experience for our resident autistic Viper. She placed her hands to her ears in an intense grip. Once the screaming stopped she recomposed herself and hoped no one saw that. Dualie visibly winced at the screech, his ears pulled back

"Why are we letting the Baron here, exactly?"

The sprite asked. She didn't seem angry, moreso just... confused.

oooooooooooooh Drama? (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

“mrrg, yeah not to be rude but- I’m with them on this”

Trust me, if it were up to me, they wouldn't be, but they do technically own this place, so

Dualie waved to Sylphrena “Also, hi! I don’t think we’ve met before. I’m Dualie”

hello dualie! i dont actually think i’ve met any of you before, my name’s notos! they/them pronouns please!

"Ayyyy. Same pronouns. Very cool."

The tiny sprite waved, a smile on her face.

"I'm Syl! Nice to meet all of you. I'm Kaladin's Spren!"

I'm Viper and that gremlin beside me is Virus. she/her

[SHE/HER] you seem familiar [DUALIE]? Were you in [WONDERLAND.COM] by chance?

”I don’t think I was? Then again, my memory is kinda bad so. Also, he/him for me”

”Byte. She/he”

Oppy! She/her or they/them! ^u^

Quasar. He/him. And yes, I was in Wonderland

yes I remember that stupid hat anywhere

be nice or I'm telling your Dads

what do they care they're out of town!

Back on topic he grabs a different marker, and begins writing on the board Thank you all for coming to Incursion: Doctor Dethroned

you're welcome

”Can’t believe I agreed to this”

”I can’t believe you let me agree to this”

Quasar focuses a camera on the table so even the people at the back can see a map of the Hoenn Battle Frontier, only now it has Wily's skull motif all over it

This is the Hoenn Battle Frontier currently. As you can see, it's not a good look

i assume the skulls weren’t there before a certain mad doctor took over?

Yep

(I get that skulls and bones evoke danger, but... this is a bit much.)

literally every image of the guy on Groovile had some kinda skull motif going on, I guess it's his calling card?

Vasilyev walks in, mech stomping lightly

Ah, hello; sorry if I’m a bit late. Nicolas Vasilyev, he/him. Ah… this guy.

"Greetings. Come, sit, judge the Doctor's design choices with us. ... And also plot to dethrone him."

His troops definitely seem… fanatical. Hope it’s not due to a Shackle, though it’s probably got something like that. I even mentioned to one of em that the big corp was probably gonna betray their boss and they took it as insulting him

Oh yeah... Wily's working behind the scenes with an inter-dimensional megacorp who has certifiably the worst ethics record in the multiverse

”Okay so if that includes some of the corporations from my universe, that’s bad”

yeah, i came across my guy literally tearing the akala jungle to shreds, i doubt he’s even somewhat morally sound

alright so the guy's evil and he's fucking with my dimension, how do we kick his ass out?

Apparently, he has some sort of Dimension Gate at the top of that tower there. The only issue is, the whole island's positively alive with hostiles, and even though his shield might be down, he still has weapons batteries that prevent an up-front assault

The guy he sent after me wanted to take over the mine I was working in; bit tricky but I also suspect the troops he sent out weren’t exactly his fanciest tech. I think he might have gotten the dimension gate from that corporation - or at least that they’ve got better tech than him in that regard.

”mm, so are we going after the corp too?”

Ideally, we kick them both out. Between the two, I'd say the corp's more of a threat, but given how closely they've been working get rid of either and the other will leave too

I had my Garbodor Buttercup use Poison Spikes on my guy and he just disappeared instantly, what if we just cover the ground in poison spikes

that plan sucks

It sucks because we have 1 person here with insider knowledge and the spikes would make it so he couldn't help us, and to be frank, he might be our only shot at winning this

alright, Spikes are off the table

Speaking of, he also has our way in and around the Frontier. Ballade, floor's yours

Ballade nodded, though to be honest he hadn’t been paying much attention. Enker already briefed him on what he’d need to say, so he had been spending most of his time sizing up everyone in the room. Damn humans. They all looked strong, but he couldn’t fight any of them. He nodded to Enker, who took a small holographic projector out that showed the map. He pointed to a small opening near the dock.

“Alright. There’s a cave right here. Looks small, but it’s a lot bigger now. We can get through there, and from there it’s smooth sailing into the main island.”

and then we beat up all the bad guys o(｀ω´ )o

"Then we beat up all the bad guys."

Not entirely... There's still a lot of enemy presence on the island, so it'd be smarter to favor a route that would avoid most of the major patrols. That or.........

or?

......................or we use a distraction. But I'm not doing that. I value all of you and I don't believe in using tactics that cause unnecessary risk to even one of you

I've always wanted to be a distraction...

no you haven't

“…Perhaps I could help with the distraction?”

Like I said we're not doing that

oh hey Shallahi

“Hey Viper.”

”Oh hey Shallahi!”

“Dualie! Mrrp!”

Mechanical footsteps sounded down the Alley. They were soft, but it was difficult to mask the sound of metal against stone. The readings were here, and there were signs of life near them. That was... definitely odd, considering there weren't any enemies down this way. If two Robot Masters were here, why was there basically nothing else? The door opened, and a boy stepped through. Clad in cerulean armor, his appearance seemed that of a child playing soldier, but his eyes betrayed his appearance. Two Hunters. Civillians around them, including at least one child, but none of them seemed distressed. Still, the Mega Man Killers weren't usually known for playing nice around humans, the robot thought. The group turned to face the newcomer, and were very surprised to see Mega Man himself

"Is everyone okay? What are you two doing here?"

holy shit it's Mega Man

notos blinks at the new arrival, curious (and a little concerned) about this (apparent) child in combat armor.

“Wait, how old is this kid?”

Every circuit in Enker's body was screaming at him to fight, but he fought the urge. He looked to Ballade, who was having a much harder time keeping himself from jumping the table. He put a hand on the purple robot's arm. Ballade sighed, sitting down. He wasn't happy, and he was showing that.

"You'll have your chance another time, Ballade. Everyone... This is Mega Man. I was wondering where he was with Wily here."

"Sorry, it took a while to get a signal from here. I might have ended up halfway to Russia before getting here."

“wait what the fuck is russia”

no fucking clue

NiCe To SeE yA rOcK. wE wAs JuSt TaLkIn WhO wE'd ThRoW aT wIlY aS a DiStRaCtIoN

Gamzee I said I'm not doing that!

"Wait, what? No, absolutely not, I'm not letting you do that." He shook his head immediately. "The danger is too high. I ca--"

"I tried telling them that. They've already taken down all of Wily's Robot Masters before you got here. The only one I took down was Ballade here. They're refusing to back down, and to be honest it would be more dangerous to try to force them than to let them help."

Ballade huffed, rolling his eyes. He still should have won that fight. He had every advantage. Mega Man couldn't argue with Enker, though he didn't know him to be so… Soft spoken. Something was weird about this one.

... Alright, but you all better fall back the moment things get hairy. I've fought Wily for years, I can handle him alone. You all could die from this, and I can't let that happen.

...alright Megaman [the thought of death freaked her out but the fact that it was megaman saying this made it a little hard to take seriously]

............Rock........... I hate to ask this of anyone, but............ would you be willing to distract Wily's forces in the front while we take a safer route through his stronghold?

"I can do that. Just get me the coordinates, and I can get there. Enker said you all defeated Robot Masters, right? Do you know where they are? I think I can still copy Weapon Data from them after this long."

Way ahead of you. We actually already got their weapons. You should still be able to copy them. Everyone bring out the weapons you got from the RMs

Everyone there brings out the weapons they had gained - Slash Claw, Gemini Laser, Quick Boomerang, Spread Drill, Power Stone, Star Crash, Water Balloon, Air Shooter, Charge Kick, and Time Stopper, then Gamzee brings others duplicated from those found by people not in attendance - Leaf Shield, Crash Bomber, and Scorch Wheel. The Mega Man Killers then offered their weapons - Mirror Buster and Ballade Cracker. Mega Man touched each weapon, his arm flashing as he did so, same with Ballade and Enker's arms. He did a system check and sure enough, all 16 weapons were there.

"... Wow, that's a lot more than I was expecting. Think this is the most I've had at once."

There was a few more, but they aren't in physical form at the moment, and rebuilding them would take a while

"That's fine, these should be more than enough."

He briefly cycled through them. Ballade Cracker admittedly was one that was easier to use than most, but he didn't want to damage the island. He eventually went back to his Mega Buster, and nodded.

There were 20 Robot Masters on this world, 19 were destroyed, and Wily thus far was only able to rebuild one, Shadow Man. ...there is one other Robot Master, but he's-

Right here

Top Man?! What are you doing here?! I thought you were safe in Orre!

I gotta help you guys fight Wily! I feel like I won't ever be free of him unless I'm part of the team that takes him out!

"... Weren't you decommissioned? Years ago?"

Mega Man's tone was one of sheer disbelief. It was like he was revived before his eyes. He wasn't upset, far from it, but it was still surprising.

Wily stole me. He stole a bunch of his old RMs. But no, I'm not with him anymore. Long story

"... I'd like to hear that some time, if at all possible. But we've got work to do, and I'm glad you're with us this time."

Oh, and Mega Man, I managed to get my hands on the schematics for a bunch of Wily's old projects. To include Bass's power copying. So I gave myself an upgrade

Top Man cycles through several colors before returning to his original ones. Mega Man's eyes widened, shaking his head to make sure he was seeing straight. Were his optical receptors not working? ... How else would he be wearing those colors?

"... Well then, that's. A surprise. Good choice though."

So, Atomic Fire, Remote Mine, Search Snake, Metal Blade, Gravity Hold, Screw Crusher, and Top Spin. All yours

"Oh boy... Getting dizzy again. This should be fun."

Mine doesn't do that actually. Quasar found the glitch Wily couldn't fix and fixed it

It actually wasn't all that hard, just needed someone to actually care about it

"Yours was a glitch? Dr Light did that on purpose for me."

Huh. Weird

Anyway, moving on: We don't know exactly what we'll be up against, but with Ballade's intel, I've plotted a route for us to take, which I've adjusted now to bear in mind Mega Man acting as a distraction.

Lines appear on the map

The green line is us, the blue line is Mega Man's distraction route The place with the heaviest resistance is the walkway leading up to the tower, and the part on the left, where Wily's main robot factory and the main VarmilineCorp barracks is. So banking to the right will mean we'll dodge most of the thickest concentration of hostiles.

And with Mega Man distracting them on the main route we could get to the tower basically scot free

Granted we don't know exactly where the cave ends, but this should be close enough

ok so we're going through the cave, taking out some robots, and saving the battle frontier. Pretty straightforward

“I vote that we split up. If the worst were to happen, that would keep our chances up. I can take a few of us directly to the tower.”

That's... risky given the size and power of the robots Wily usually has guarding his fortress

But if we get the chance, let's go for it! ^u^

"That's understandable. That being said, why aren't we just taking the shorter route, or that path to the left?"

"Wily's fortresses almost always have incredible firepower on their side. Even flying in is next to impossible unless it's the only way in. Not to mention the other buildings act as bases for reinforcements. You take out the boss there, and they can't send forces at your tail."

What Mega Man said. The path on the left is Wily's main robot factory and VermilineCorp's main barracks. Resistance there will be too thick. As for the shorter route, that's guarded heavily, so Mega Man will be taking that route and drawing the majority of the opposition toward him and away from us

How do we know Wily's gonna go for just Mega Man?

The dude lives in his head rent-free 24/7. I wouldn't be surprised if he orders all his forces to target just Mega Man

you ever heard of Mario? They got like a Mario and Bowser type of thing going on

More like a Sonic and Eggman but yeah. This. Anyway, once we're in the tower, from there it's straightforward: Defeat Wily and VermilineCorp and use Wily's Dimension Gate to remove their presence from this world. As for how we're gonna do that... not 100% sure. Ballade's intel gets foggy at that point

"Blow it up. That's how it works every time."

True... the issue is making sure Wily and V-Corp are on the other side before we do that

So we'd have to throw him through first before we blow it

Would destroying it have some kinda… backlash effect on either side? My only previous exposure to this kinda stuff didn’t end well…

Yeah... I cant say for sure, but hopefully it'll work better. It's also lucky that only the hostiles will be going through the gate ideally

Admittedly this is something specifically designed for dimensional travel, rather than an… unexpected side effect from what I’ve heard

So... anyone have any ideas on how to get Wily through the portal before taking it out? Before you start, I'm NOT ok with a sacrifice

"Use Nine as a sacrifice"

It was a joke, but with how he deadpanned it you really can't tell

a sonic burst move? boomburst is basically a compressed wave of air. it’s got some pretty insane knockback, and it can be fired from a range.

That sounds cool! ^u^ So we sick that on Wily!

How… tough would Wily be in a fight? We could just tie him up and throw him through I’d think.

He's usually in these frag-huge machines so unless you somehow get him out of that it'll be hard to do that

hm. Would that knockback even work on something that big?

“The Wily Machines are powerhouses. The only way to get him out of them is destroying the machine.”

So once you destroy the Wily Machine, then you can throw Wily through the gate! Right?

"That's the plan. Unless he has an escape, which I can't say is impossible. I don't know these people he's working with, so I can't make a judgement on that."

Looks like we have a plan. It's late, so we'll move out next week. That gives us 1 week to prepare

alright, gives us time to mentally prepare

have fun （╹◡╹）/

you're my ride remember

[#%€?]

Let's do it! ^u^

//OOC note: Not 1:1 as I had to trim a bunch of stuff to make things fit better bc my hardware was acting up

[sabakos]

What's your favorite thing to cook and your favorite meal you don't know how to cook?

Favorite thing to cook: Chili - I like to make it with ground meat and chunky meat and beans and bacon and throw all the onions and garlic and peppers and tomatoes and such in a blender to save on chopping and because it pretty much comes out the same from my testing. I have a full recipe written down somewhere if you want it, but it's kinda esoteric, it's basically a thick spicy meat pudding it's so good and it makes the whole house smell like a meat-flavored scented candle, but if that was good instead of awful. Uh, I usually use beef but I've made it with turkey or venison and I want to try bear meat at some point, it's just a matter of balancing the spices differently if you change meats as long as its still dark meat. Chicken chili is also something you can do but I recommend not putting in tomatoes and maybe upping the peppers, like "white lightning chili"

Favorite Meal I don't know how to cook - Sushi, technically I do know how to make rolls, and also nigiri if it's salmon or maybe tuna but i don't know most of the sushis. I would just eat sushi of various kinds and nothing else forever if i could get away with it but I'm not rich and i'd probably die of mercury poisoning or malnutrition or something dumb no one's even heard of before. Maybe that would be an alright way to go, it would be like donating my body to science except more useful.

Anyway just so you know, being a vegan is morally correct but I'm a huge sinner, I love sinning so bad, I'm sorry animals, I'm sorry planet, I'm so selfish and I'm not going to make it up to you in any way that matters before I die. Thank you for letting me kill you. Well okay fine, technically somebody else did that but it's still my fault...
