[OOC] Iris Ascendis

[AThousandCurses]

Chunji is surprised at this development even though he has done every human possible way to make people dislike him.

“But why?”

[ERode]

[Estylwen]

Any word from @Sifr?

[AThousandCurses]

It looks like we might have to skip em. Ripperino.

[Nanaya]

If there's no answer by morning, I'll be going ahead with the next round.

[Sifr]

Apologies, I've got a snowstorm warning for the next two days. Internet (and electricity) has been very wonky. If I get something up before Nanaya, yippee! If I don't, add Hildegunde to the number of people who didn't take Otis's offer, and who is less than amused with current developments.

Sorry everything ever has been happening this month and a half.

[Nanaya]

I feel that, it's occasionally been pretty terrible for my connection too.

I've been delayed, but next round will be coming in a few hours!

[AThousandCurses]

I wonder how big is the Wund family.

EDIT: My lack of reading comprehension strikes again.

[ERode]

Nerd that Otis is, would he know anything extra about the whole overcharged leyline deal?

[Nanaya]

'Wund' is just the name for exiled and disgraced Rekordian nobility, at least in the older days of the setting. It's a long since passed tradition now, though. It's basically like calling someone John/Jane Doe.

On the topic of details like that, I've been considering making a lore topic for optional little bits 'n baubles like that. Not in the OOC just because I don't want to fill up the entire initial post with a bunch of things, so probably in one of the sections of the forum where that sort of thing is allowed, and just link to it in the OOC.

[AThousandCurses]

Also Erode, will Otis step up to help Davil? If not, then I'll have Chunji go up, despite everything he said, and 'resuscitate' him.

Edit: Not going to lie. I have a severe reading comprehension problem.

[Nanaya]

@ERode

If he looked deeply into it, he would know that overcharging a leyline is a risky process that temporarily shifts a small space into that of the Overlapping World of Ascendia - a world that exists simultaneously with the regular one underneath it that's known for its lack of essence and other odd sights. It requires what's known as a 'Fragmented Word of Astra' to perform nowadays, with the associated word being the more commonly known 'Falkris'.

The advantage to overcharging is typically that the one who overcharges and invokes the word will gain that leyline's essence at their temporary disposal in a single massive burst, up to whatever their regular endurance can allow them to channel. Other benefits do exist, but they're said to delve into specifics based on the invoker's prime essence, and thus can't be fully anticipated.

As for downsides, it severely damages or even destroys the leyline, depending on how much the invoker is capable of using in one burst of energy.

[ERode]

Ah, so what we could call...a Domain Expansion. ;3

And yah, Otis will protect his assets and use this opportunity to get closer to Chloe too.

[Nanaya]

Updated the OOC to include a link to the lore topic that I'll just be building upon when I feel like it, with a priority on things that are more immediately relevant to the RP. It'll again not be necessary reading because a lot of it will show up in the RP, but I figure there's no harm in having it anyway! I didn't even write down everything I wanted to for its debut, but I'll get around to it soon.

@Nanaya

Y'know kinda late on saying this but what is Chunji's medical diagnosis on Davil without Ethos? I'll be sure to ask you every time when Chunji does it.

@AThousandCurses

Several cracked ribs, a messily broken left arm, a fractured right arm, and several cuts and bruises across his exposed flesh. The bile would also follow symptoms associated with a severe flu or food poisoning. It would also be safe to say that, at least for now, Davil's internal organs haven't been damaged enough to be fatal.

Notably, the lower half of his body seems entirely unscathed.

[AThousandCurses]

Ehhh cracked and broken are too different things. Davil's built different. He will live. Emoji.

Edit: I am not very intelligent.

[ERode]

Been sick for the last few days at this point, but I'll probably be able to post sometime during the weekend.

[AThousandCurses]

@ERode

Feel better soon!

[Nanaya]

@Sifr Are things looking possible for this round on your end?
