First purple tear, now the blood-red night. I'm gonna need to draw fanart for my fucking Binah firing squad. Because nothing else I have played has been so fun and so successful at the same time.

ALL HAIL!!

IDs for Limbus

SO i have just had a funny idea cross my mind basically we all know that Xiao ID will come someday, right? much like Yan, much like Kali, yada yada yada and we know these three all have their 'cool awakening' skill that PM will integrate in game (i will personally ensure they will) so what if we tie their awakenings to sp and conditions say kali id, upon reaching 45 SP and killing X guys can use her defensive skill to manifest Red Mist. this changes her skills, replaces ZAYIN ego with Great Split: Horizontal or something, and to represent the original passive, upon failing to inflict X damage with her skills her stagger threshold rises a bit Xiao ID -- basically the same thing, upon reaching 45 SP she manifests Iron Lotus and burns down the house but Yan? imagine if they did the opposite. he starts as a perfectly normal Proxy unit, discarding his skills, benefiting from Singleton (somehow), but upon reaching -45 SP he DISTORTS and changes his passives, skills, speed, resistances and everything to that of a DISTORTED YAN BOSS. like IMAGINE THAT. and because he doesn't give a single fuck about what people tell him and follows prescripts only, he gains 'indiscriminate' on every skill. and to deal with him he has a passive that's called 'The Weaving Word' or something that basically acts similarly to Pluto's contract his teammates have to follow the 'prescript' which is given to them at the beginning of each turn if they carry out their prescript Yan ID cannot target them if the fail, however, there is a chance he will attack them and he has his AOE attack replace his ZAYIN ego too obv

and dont get me started on Ensemble IDs who all imo should have their double-down distorted modes built into them. Macrosis' Ensemble Rework is canon and i simply do not care. let my boy Blue Reverberation blast his theme for everyone to groove. LIKE IMAGINE THAT

[strangefellows]

since we’re getting a Philip Sinclair identity i would LOVE to get the rest of the Reverberation Ensemble too

I already have some ideas, namely Faust as Elena, Don as Oswald, Bremen as Yi Sang and Tanya as Outis

OH LORD ME TOO. ME FUCKIN TOO. I'm tbh a bit more biased towards the LobCorp Identities (i am making a fully Agent ID team eventually i swear) but the Ruina IDs slap severely I can't wait for Philclair.

As for the others....Oh I can see Faust Elena and Don Circus. Bremen Yi Sang is interesting!!! I like that, I didn't think about that. Tanya as Outis...maybe? Could also be Heath, I think, but then again I'm CONVINCED Heath is getting the Roland ID.

As for the others...Greta absolutely Ryoshu. Puppeteer fucker is harder, uhhh. Hm. Maybe Meursault, but that still doesn't feel right. Rodya I think would make a GREAT Elena as well, and Faust could also work with Eileen/Gear Lady. Hong Lu could also make a good Bremen! Pluto is also difficult, tbh, he's another that could be Meursault...hrrrrm. All good thoughts tho!

[ruinaimagines]

If I can request something completely off the wall, some HCs for greta (and if it fits the rest of the ensemble) trying their damndest to do something completely ordinary.

Like imagine you're a store clerk and 9 stars of the city and a colour arrive to by bread, juice concentrate, and half the deli section.

Hi okay so I love this idea and know I am going to have an extreme amount of fun with it. The moment you said Greta I was absolutely fully in, I love her so much. I hope you don’t mind that I went with the store clerk concept too, it just seemed way too good to pass up this opportunity. Always feel free to request more stuff like this, it's way too enjoyable.

The Reverberation Ensemble Attempting to Buy Groceries:

Greta had a miserable idea one day, miserable for everyone else that is. It came as no surprise that the Ensemble had never been really close with one another. Sure, some people may have been more fond of each other than others, but there was no real sense of community bringing them together. Honestly, even their goals for joining happened to be a bit contradictory, it’s quite impressive they managed to work out as far as they have.

But they’ve come quite a long way, why not call for a celebration of sorts? Nothing too big, but it could also double as a meeting of sorts to discuss future plans. Plus, you have a famous chef of the City, it’s only natural for Greta to cook something for the other ensemble members at some point.

Argalia agreed to the idea. If they were all going to fight to the death in the library after all it would be nice to at least get to know each other a bit better. Plus, who could say no to some food?

Alright, so they’re going to have a big dinner, what’s the issue with that? Well it’s not the feast that’s the problem, it’s the preparation that is. Greta also insisted on shopping for the ingredients together as it would give a sense of ‘companionship’ and ‘participation’ in the final result.

Unsurprisingly, the only actual person who was absolutely down for it from the getgo was Oswald, and he just wanted to witness the chaos. Everyone else sort of was just stilled, as if she dropped some giant reveal on them.

Even Tanya, who was probably one of the closest members to Greta, doubted the idea. She’d be willing to go with her, but it seemed a bit too much to take along every single member.

Greta continued to persist on the idea. It was either everyone lends a hand, or there’s no meal. The decision was up in the air for a while until Argalia made a settlement of sorts.

He said that it could be fun to go along with, and he wasn’t missing out on the chance for this dinner. That it would also be good to expand upon their bonds and ‘teamwork’.

Basically it was just his really dramatic and charismatic way of saying ‘hey guys im hungry you’re coming with I’m not risking this’. It honestly sounded like a whole persuasive essay to go to the grocery store.

Because he sided with Greta, Pluto and Eileen had no issue coming along too. From this, Tanya also agreed because it was better to get it out of the way, and each member of Bremen was excited to dine on Greta’s food once more.

Jae-heon and Elena were a bit more stubborn, mainly because they just thought the idea was ridiculous. Even if they didn’t verbally say it, you can tell just from the look in their eyes. Problem is that they’re outnumbered, so they’ll likely have to go along.

And for Philip, well, he was pretty indifferent about the whole thing.

So say you’re this poor store clerk. You’re finishing up your shift, overall the day has just been pretty neutral and insignificant. People come and go, there’s maybe some brief small talk, and you’re left alone again until the next customers.

But then there’s this oddly conspicuous van that just pulls into the parking lot as it starts getting late. It’s a bit off putting but I mean hey, not like you’re being paid to care about it.

And then not one, not two, not three, but TEN PEOPLE step out of this car. You’re equally horrified and impressed, because on one hand, why are 10 people buying groceries, and on the other; how do they all fit into that car. It seriously must be cramped.

So you’re preparing to be robbed or something when this… shark, wolf, and skeleton, as well as a clown walks in???? And that’s not even the start of it. But they don’t even acknowledge you, they're just… shopping.

You’re filled with a sense of dread, but your existence is acknowledged by the shark lady who greets you with a smile and grabs a basket. And then she just goes back to her business.

So we have the Blue Reverberation buying eggs in the refrigerated aisle, being careful that his giant scythe doesn’t cut someone's ankles or take out a shelf. He seems to be inspecting and weighing which brand he should buy really intently.

And then we have this shady and awkward guy in the back with a metal… head? And multiple eyes? He’s just kinda watching everyone do stuff and standing really uncomfortable and you kinda feel bad because he’s reminding you of an anxious middle schooler.

There’s a lady standing next to him too. You’re guessing she’s one of the bloodfiends you’ve heard about in the papers judging from her appearance. She has an unamused look, and you can vaguely hear her talking about eating people??

Tanya is grabbing things desperately like it’s the purge, thinking that if she completes her part of the grocery list she can get out of there quicker. Problem is she keeps accidentally snapping the vegetables in half and bruising the fruit. Greta yells at her from across the store that the ingredients need to be in good condition. She has to go back and pick out half of the stuff on her list again.

Philip is one of the only people who’s shopping normally.

Apparently Oswald has never been in a store before because he’s distracted himself with all the different types of food there is. He picked up a dragon fruit and is staring at it like it’s some mythical object.

He also is on the verge of tears for no reason. No one made a joke, no one interacted with him, but he still looks like he’s gonna start cackling. He keeps getting closer to the other ensemble members, and they’re trying to get away. They do not want to know what he is up to.

Pluto is over by Argalia in the dairy section. He’s explaining the various types of cheeses, and how they’re perfected and created through a long and patient period of time. Argalia is completely zoned out, he is picking up on nothing, but he nods and pretends like he is.

Bremen is falling apart. None of them can agree on which bundle of spring onions is better quality. It’s starting to turn into a heated argument, and the volume of their argument is starting to compete with the constant buzzing noise of the store.

Greta is in complete harmony and comes over to help the three. She praises them on their individual judgements, and helps them find the perfect collection of the vegetables.

I wanna say Eileen is also competent, but there’s just something off about it. She’s been staring at the baked goods for a while now. Just standing still with her hands resting in front of her in her long white dress.

It’s probably the fact that she’s BAREFOOT in the BREAD AISLE. Seriously, put the flippers away?? It takes a minute to notice but dear lord are you scared when you do. That’s the most terrifying thing you’ve seen so far. You can handle the color fixer, you can handle the stars of the city, but her ground slappers are making you want to call an association.

You’re starting to think this is some never-ending nightmare when at last everyone seems to have come to a mutual conclusion that they’ve gotten what they’ve come for.

You’re kind of praying that they actually just steal everything and run out the place, but clearly that isn’t their intention as they all turn towards you and form an unholy line.

You’re doing everything in your ability to check all the products out and keep it brief. Speaking of which, who needs this much cheese?? They might as well have rented out the dairy aisle like a venue because there is no reason for there to be this much.

Also there’s just an ungodly amount of meat from the deli aisle. They even picked up… alligator??? You didn’t even know that was something you could purchase, who’s farming alligator?

You’re starting to think that this is some hallucination as you pass the last item through the scanner after an excruciating long period of silence. You’re gonna have to ask management for more bags because almost all of them are gone.

The bill is so high and you’re kind of terrified to tell them it. Greta starts fishing something out of her pocket and hands you a single coupon code that’s supposed to save like 10 cents on any purchase.

Argalia walks up to the front and throws a case of money in front of you. You’re starting to feel like you’re partaking in some illegal dealings, and just nod and accept the amount of Ahn you were given.

That was the last you’ve seen of them, and Greta was off to make the absolute best dinner anyone could wish for.

[imaginecorporation]

What's your estimate with regards to the Ensemble's join times? You already said Pluto was the first aside from Argalia, and we know Eileen, Phillip and Oswald join during the events of the story, but where does everyone else fit in?

This was incredibly well timed considering it was before I posted about Elena's birthday.

SPOILERS AHEAD

My personal headcanon is this (tw: suicide ment, cannibalism)

Pre-Pre-story Ensemble (after the Pianist, but prior to Roland entering the Library):

Argalia finds Pluto, saves him from killing himself years after Roland fucks him over, recruits him to his cause.

Argalia stumbles across Elena's body. Somehow brings her back to life, probably with Pluto's help. Why? She's a distortion with a vendetta against Roland and a will to live (this seems to be common with most of the Ensemble).

Shortly afterwards (we're talking 72 hours max), the trio finds Jae-Heon, on the verge of distortion (and death). Saves him and recruits him to the proto-Ensemble.

Pre-Pre-Story Members (in order): Argalia Pluto Elena Jae-Heon

Pre-Story Ensemble (shortly after Roland enters the Library):

Week later, Argalia meets the eighth chef among the mutilated corpses of her fellow chefs, who died in attempts to cook themselves for the ultimate flavor. Greta joins and suggests their group have a name. Due to the Pianist ultimately being the catalyst to all of this, along with Argalia being called the Blue Reverberation, the group becomes the Reverberation Ensemble.

Argalia and Pluto come across the Musicians of Bremen, and offer for them to join up. Heehaw, Doodle-Doo, and Woof join, leaving behind Meow and relatively new members Oink and MuMu. The three then distort into Bremen after hearing Ms. Sun's voice.

The Reverberation Ensemble comes in contact with Tanya, from the Middle, a Finger Syndicate.

Pre-Story Members (in order): Argalia Pluto Elena Jae-Heon Greta Bremen

During-Story:

Tanya officially joins after stealing the Kurokumo clan's belongings and sending them to the library, deeming them strong enough (and her ideals roughly lining up with theirs), abandoning the Middle.

Argalia saves Eileen's life, recruiting her into the Ensemble and causing her to distort.

Argalia makes contact with Oswald through Pluto's interference with Philip, allowing him to join the Ensemble.

Philip, distorted, is saved by Argalia and is then recruited into the Ensemble.

And we know the rest from there!

80% of the reverberation ensemble is down. This is going smoothly. Only Pluto & Argalia left.

Orpheus in the Underworld is a rambunctious and raucous romp into the ancient world that would have Sophocles rolling in his grave – with laughter! Written by Jacques Offenbach and Performed by St Paul’s Opera, the piece is a far cry from a typical night at the theatre, but while it may miss the mark at times in terms of finesse, it certainly makes up for it with limitless humour and plain good fun!

Orpheus and his wife Eurydice are long past the days of marital bliss, but when a seemingly harmless encounter with a lover turns sour, Eurydice finds herself trapped in the underworld and in the clutches of Pluto. Her estranged Husband, Orpheus, is tasked with her rescue and embarks on a journey to Mount Olympus to secure the help of Olympian Jupiter and bring her back.

But does he want her back? And more importantly, does she want to come back?

Musically, this production is stunning. The small, yet powerful, orchestra are right on point. Led by Juliane Gallant, the orchestrations resonate as though the sound it’s coming from a much larger group and reverberates powerfully within the confines of St Paul’s Church in Clapham.

The vocal performances are equally as stunning and special mention should be given to Patricia Ninian as Eurydice and Laura Curry as Mercury. In terms of overall character portrayal, it’s the gentlemen of the cast who excel, in particular, Gareth Edmunds as Pluto and Stephen Cviic as Orpheus.

The stand out performance for me comes from Jonny de Garis in the role of Jupiter. Coming into his own in the second act, Garis brings a fresh and exciting energy to the stage with a vocal prowess that is well matched by his enthusiasm for the character. In a genre such as this, it’s more about commitment to character than a refined realism and Garis certainly nails this.

The ensemble demonstrates a lively chemistry which is infectious for the audience. The strength of this show lies in its enthusiasm and good-natured spirit of fun. Dispensing with the pretense of traditional opera it allows audiences to sit back and enjoy the malarkey with ease.

Audience members are encouraged to bring a picnic to enjoy in the church grounds, either prior to the show or during intermission. Given that the intermission lasts for around 45 minutes I highly recommend doing this, after all, one does need sustenance for a long journey to the underworld!

Not your typical night at the opera, but for this reason a much more accessible night for those new to the genre. Corners are cut and conventions are disregarded, but as I heard one audience member say during the interval – “it’s smashing good fun!”

Review by Cassandra Griffin

Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld is a riotous, fun, fast-paced opera with some seriously addictive tunes. With a raucous story mocking everything from grand opera to the political establishment, it is certain to surprise and delight.

Following the sell-out success of last year’s innovative production of Die Zauberflöte, we are thrilled to welcome back the directorial duo of Ashley Pearson and Louisa Tee. Also new for 2017 is the addition of a third performance, running from Thursday, 29th June to Saturday 1st July.

The full cast reads: Public Opinion: Marina Barker (Morley) Eurydice: Patricia Ninian (Morley) Orpheus: Stephen Cviic (Morley) Pluto: Gareth Edmunds (RWCMD) Venus: Olivia Sjöberg (GHSMD) Cupid: Sophie Horrocks (Cambridge) Jupiter: Jonny de Garis (GHSMD) Diana: Olivia Lewis (Trinity Laban) Mercury: Laura Curry (RWCMD) Juno: Marie-Anne Hall (Morley) John Styx: William Wallis (Cambridge

St Paul’s Church, Rectory Grove, Clapham SW4 0DR

Hello people of The City! (and any other lands beyond the outskirts that may somehow find this) I am Argalia, AKA The Blue Reverberation. Pluto made a suggestion that I make a blog on this site, specifically for people to ask us questions, I was more than a little perturbed as I'd figured keeping the group below notice would be most important, but Pluto always knows how to convince me. Soooo, ask anyone here anything! Any of us, and we'll answer to the best of our ability! 🎼

Crew indicator //Below is OOC, notes from the admin Hi there, as you can tell this is an rp blog for the Reverb ensemble, this blog is entirely inspired by @the-limbuscompanybus-blog, I just really like what they do, and I may not have the artistic talent they do but I hope to do something atleast a little similar (btw to the admin of that blog, if you see this and you'd prefer me to take it down I will) Ask away everyone!

[mossy-green-aka-ferrythem]

It’s so fascinating to me how Xiao is as a character. I didn’t expect much of her but she ended up easily being one of the most profound characters in the game. And this is just going off the impression I have before the story of her last reception. I’m clueless as to how her character climaxes specifically.

Also wow, I am genuinely so sad about what happened to Philip. Argalia really was right when he said that Philip only wanted to cry. Which makes it even more tragic with how Argalia manipulates him. Philip is probably the most unique member of The Reverberation Ensemble, because while every member is unique in their own way, Philip is special, because he himself is a victim. He has still done a horrible, even unforgivable thing, but that was him fully Distorted. Can he really take accountability for being manipulated by Oswald and Pluto into a distortion, then going on to kill 80,000 people? What really gets me is the one line he utters before the Reception of The Purple Tear, where he just utters one sentence, I don’t remember what he said, but I remember the deep sadness it carries, and how much of a bad situation he’s gotten himself into, being a distortion that’s part of The Reverberation Ensemble.

Speaking of The Purple Tear, I am having a lot of trouble understanding her character. She’s an odd one that’s for sure. Also GILFy as all hell.

Also I have done most of the Briah Abnormality suppressions. It’s so fascinating how each Abnormality is the manifestation of a metaphor or story, and represents certain deep concepts that can be mutually rooted in the perception of humanity’s “Universal Unconscious”. What especially sticks out to me are The Wizard of Oz based Abnormalities, who just interest me so much and remind me that I should probably read the original book to better grasp the themes. I do know that they’re meant to represent a unifying theme of Kindness.

Anyways, when next I play, I’m going to reach what is without a doubt probably one of the biggest moments in the game narratively speaking, The Realization of The Floor of Natural Sciences.

I don’t know what’s going to happen, but it’s gonna be big.
