Work's been rough since I got back from vacation on Monday, but I'll be 📯 NG tomorrow morning.

Preach!

I took a week vacation, and returned to hellwork. So, I fully understand that feeling! XD

I just realized what happened with my status update. I'll chalk it up to typing on my phone being screwy. Anyway, post is imminent.

@Stern Algorithm

Are we missing your post?

Hey all, sorry for the wait. I had some busy weeks, but I'm back.

@Enkryption Even though Gammaton now has Szilard's knowledge, I as a player, do not, so I hope you don't mind if I pester you for information. So if Gammaton is like, "Ah yes, this town is named..." or "This country borders that country, which they are at war with..." I'm probably going to need to ask you. I also hope I'm not like forcing a lore dump from you. I'm also perfectly fine if you say, "Szilard was an ignorant country bumpkin and wouldn't know that", but given his proximity to the Mayor as Groundskeeper, my intention was he would be just a little bit more knowledgeable than the typical bumpkin.

S'all good. I was worried you'd dropped, no joke. I was just talking to Tree about it.

As for information, I have zero issues with lore dumps. However, I can tailor what is known to what Gamma wants to learn, and then supply her with the information that would be most likely for her targets to know.

The more probable a target would know the information, the more likely she'll get that. That is to say, the Captain of the Watch would know the escape routes and watch schedules, while the local baker most certainly would only know the general comings and goings of the guards passing their shop.

I'm mainly looking for basic information, name of the town, name of the county/dukedom/nation the town is in, neighboring towns, whether the country is ruled by a king, queen, emperor, senate, or anarcho-syndicalist commune, whether the nation is the vassal of another country, what neighboring countries there are, and if they are at war or have tension, what races exist, what religions exist, who or what is held in high regard, who or what is treated like garbage, what major threats exist in the world that parents use to scare their children at night; stuff that would let you pass as a native and not appear as an isekai protagonist.

Ah. Yeah, that's not too terribly hard to write up. I can do it in my next post.

I'm actually looking for something similar from Riny. She won't have been as social as most people and thus won't know things as in-depth as Szilard did, but as a hunter she's probably traveled a much wider area. So a broader but more shallow set of knowledge.

That's doable. I assume Mae is "interrogating" her anyways, so I can roll that into the post as well.

@Stern Algorithm @Lugubrious

Apologies ahead of time, but there are a few small tweaks to the big collab that will come my next post as necessary retcons to preserve the actual nature of what lies below the mountain.

I'm not changing everything you two did, but a few thing will, while maintaining the positions and intentions put to paper.

Hopefully the small changes to Szilard and Riny weren't too aggressive. No lie, they helped with the set up immensely with their diametrically opposed stations, yet similar lifestyles.

Now, Free Will has entered the story.

Lots of interesting stuff to process. Will have a post out soon.

Interesting is definitely a higher compliment than I was expecting, lol

Checking up on ya.

@Lucius Cypher

Sorry for being MIA. Just keep hitting a block thinking of a post. With any luck I'll have something around this weekend.

@Enkryption

Sorry, I'm still here. Just a bit of being busy with IRL and poor time management on my part. I have a post more-or-less formulated, but I just wanted to confirm a few things:

Where are Faetalis and Cormac? I know they're at a window, but is this window in Mór Brionnú? I'm asking because it doesn't seem tactful for Gammaton to just barge into Mór Brionnú without reason nor invitation, given Cormac's general surly attitude.

Also, is there instant messaging within the guild, and can the overseers use it? I assume not, since Faetalis has had to send couriers to relay messages. Would there be a guild-based way for Gammaton to simply 'find' where Faetalis is located? I supposed Gammaton can use her heightened bug senses to trace Faetalis but I wanted to know beforehand if that could be avoided since it seems disrespectful to 'sniff out' your creator.

Fae and Mac are in a location entirely of Guess's fabrications, but for the sake of simplicity, I'll pull a fiat, and say the are within the premise of Mór Brionnú, as Cormac does not seem the type to wander without cause.

As for instant messaging, the Players were nerds of high caliber, and used handcrafted gamer headsets for multi-channel conversation - usually crafted in one of there personal effects; an earring, a ring, a necklace, or what have you. It functions as a multilayered [Whisper], [Locate], [Monitor], and [Sending] spells of Fae's design to keep track of members, find them, and speak to them during Siege Wars.

There is a better than good change that Gamma can find her Creator's lying around. But, sniffing her out, so to speak, wouldn't offend Fae in the slightest. It would probably offend Gamma's sensibilities first before hers.

Fae sends couriers to deliver messages, because she's conserving MP, in case she needs to pop off.

And, lastly, I'm just glad you're okay.

Hey everyone. I thought I should let you all know that, currently Enkryption is sick and will be unable to post for a fair bit of time. I'm very sorry, but the update post will likely be a few weeks out. I ask for your patience at this time, so that Enkryption can recover without worrying about this RP and that we can pick up once they feel better again.

Thanks for the notice. I wish Enkryption a swift recovery.
