transcript of the anna the adventurer! commission w/ bennett & fischl

(the parts in [square brackets] are my guesses because the video is so compressed i can’t read some of the text, bolded is traveler dialogue choice) (also this might not be all of it the video starts abruptly)

BENNETT: Fischl. You ran off too quickly! That was really risky...

FISCHL: Hah! Mine thundering retribution spares not any evildoers...

ANNA: Oh, it’s Fischl and Bennett! Hello there!

BENNETT: Oh, it’s you, Anna. And the Traveler, too! Are you on a commission?

FISCHL: Ah, you have arrived, O you who art blessed by the Prinzessin! Surely were you led here by the weft of fate.

OZ: Mein Fräulein wishes to say that she is pleased to have met you by chance.

TRAVELER: I’m accompanying Anna o[n] a commission.

ANNA: That’s right. The traveller and I were just escorting this transport balloon.

ANNA: But all of a sudden, a whole bunch of Treasure Hoarders came charging at us...

BENNETT: Uh, I’m terribly sorry about that. That was my fault.

BENNETT: Fischl and I accepted a certain commission to investigate the whereabouts of a certain band of Treasure Hoarders.

BENNETT: Oz managed to catch their trail, and we were about to capture them... And then I tripped over a branch and fell over.

BENNETT: The noise startled those Treasure Hoarders, who turned and fled. We had no choice but to keep chasing them...

FISCHL: There was never any reason to fret. The violet light of con[vi]ction was ever failed to sever the destinies of those foul rogues.

OZ: But Mein Fräulein, was it not the Traveler who ultimately apprehended them[?]

FISCHL: [Oz!]

BENNETT: W-Well, anyway, thanks for your help [this time.] It really was fortunate that you were there to [???] their path.

BENNETT: Looks like my luck’s pretty good today, huh!

TRAVELER: Glad I could help.

BENNETT: Hehe. Well then, guess we’ll haul these Treasure Hoarders back to the Guild. Be careful now - and don’t forget to watch your step.

(Screen fades out to black)

ANNA: Bennett’s as reliable as ever, I see.

ANNA: And Fischl... Her words are as impressive as ever?

TRAVELER: What’s your impression [of Bennett so] far? / How’s Fischl been?

ANNA: My impression of him?

ANNA: When I first joined the Guild, he answered a lot of my questions and gave me a lot of assistance.

ANNA: But I’ve heard that he has especially bad luck.

ANNA: That’s just not fair. He’s such a nice person...

ANNA: Well, guess we’ve finished this commission either way. Thank you, Traveler. I’m going to report back to the Guild now.

ANNA: Still, why did I get transport balloon escort a few days in a row? Doesn’t the Guild have any other commissions?

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

PSA: If Tav fails the weave scene…

So, I’m assuming that most players (like me) thought that you *had* to pass the “channeling the weave” scene with Gale in order to begin his romance. Makes sense, right? Gale is a learned scholar, he tells you magic is his life, so it’s understandable that even he might hesitate to romance you if you are unable to follow his simple instructions and share a moment with him.

…but nope! Nope. Of course Gale is so wonderful that even if you fail the scene, he’s still down bad for you, and to top it off? His response is one of the sweetest lines in the whole damn game.

If you are a Galemancer and you haven’t seen this before, please stop whatever you are doing, sit down, view his expression + hear his line delivery, and try not to pass out:

Tav: It was a pity your lesson in the Weave ended so soon - I was enjoying our moment alone. Do you think about us being alone again?

Gale: Do you?

Tav: Yes.

Gale: So do I. You see, I'm not a big believer in fate, but I do believe in serendipity.

Gale: Life is a tempest of events that sometimes we brace against, and sometimes embrace.

Gale: You're one such event that one day soon perhaps, I'd like to embrace.

Summary of Samba's S2 Tidbits

Sharing some highlights I found for those who don't have Twitter. Many thanks to those who shared!!

From this thread:

Buttons had a roped tied around him because he kept trying to run back to the sea.

A scene was cut about everyone at Jackie's discussing what they would have in their Dream Boat - Pete said Lucius, Wee John wants to be a room person, Oluwande wants to be with Jim, Roach wants a kitchen.

Izzy was hit with a dry bread sandwich filled with a pickle and dried jerky in S1 and Roach made the same sandwich for when they kicked Blackbeard off in S2. No one knew Taika was going to hit the sandwich to Rhys the three of them came up with it that's why Nathan was laughing.

Calypso's birthday was initially going to be Lucius and Pete's wedding.

Roach is a verified Ned Low Stan!

Improvised scenes: the thumb war (😭), Izzy saying "rude," Roach flipping off Izzy's headstone

A scene of Jim and Oluwande and Archie stepping out of their room in boxers was cut

And from this thread:

S2E6 was not originally going to be be Calypso's birthday, instead it was Black Pete & Lucius wedding. Wee John & Roach were trying to get Ed and Stede to hook up because there was too much sexual tension on the ship. They gave Stede a makeover, Wee John dressed him, Roach pierced his ear and gave him an earing. Then Stede & Ed actually danced! Samba likes what the episode changed to, and that they didn't force the Ed/Stede relationship earlier.

David Fane got bit by an eel on the toe while filming their spa scene. They had to get back into the water to finish filming the scene. You will see in the episode that they are really kicking their feet in the water to scare the eel off.

RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER (2015) dev. Crystal Dynamics

[llamagoddessofficial]

Consider: analogue horror style story where a human is recording themselves being hunted down by some kind of terrifying cryptid creature. However, it turns out that the cryptid is chasing because it's in love. The found footage horror scenario slowly shifts into this human documenting their weird fuckin experience of being 'romanced' by an uncanny monster that likes them and won't leave them alone
