Current @SaltSight Game was Astlibra: Revision. Found it on sale bundled with another game I've been wanting so I gave it a shot and got like, straight indie JRPG of the early 2000s injected into my veins.

Hate that strange ennui that hits after 100%'ing a really, really good game. Good time was had, but man am I glad it can't mess my sleep schedule up anymore.

Final Fantasy: Stranger in Paradise is the funniest shit I've ever seen while also not being a bad game. Just crack open some cold ones with the boys, blare Limp Bizket, and Kill Chaos.

Sincerest apologies for being a procrastinating shit...again.

Monster Hunter World coming out on PC killed my productivity, and my motivation.

"Highly Unlikely" in Magnus' mind sounded like pretty good odds. After all, Kyle sure was smart. He was excited to hear that Kyle could fly all the way to the guild, and figured that he'd leave that up to him after the test flight was finished. Yang's statement of going with him had him a tad more worried however, and Magnus cleared his throat. "I-I can fly with you, if you need something safe. I wouldn't want Yang to do anything dangerous. I-I mean...this was my job, anyways." he said, wanting to make sure Yang wouldn't get hurt over something he invited her to do. He already owed her...basically his life, so, he felt indebted to her. She was so nice to him too, that he couldn't

As Kyle spoke of how birds internalize how to fly their entire lives, Magnus thought back on his own training. It was funny, that to stop and think about it, he had no idea exactly how to explain many things that he did without thinking about it. From the curling of a finger, to the bending of his knees to hop, he took for granted just how much harder it had to be to fly. There wasn't any ground to hold you steady, there wasn't any surface to push off of to go forward; It was all the wind, and a whole lot of math. Or something. He had no idea, really. Science was hard, and it most certainly wasn't in Magnus' interests to learn about just HOW the plane flew. All he needed to know was that Talia and Kyle's dream could be a reality, and that their efforts all meant something.

Pumping his arms excitedly, a tiny bit of steam billowed out of Magnus' nose as he excitedly looked to Yang. "Hey Hey, what should we call it? I-I can yell loud! Um...it flies right? S-So...what's a kind of bird. Uh...Robin? Sparrow? Alba...tross...?" Magnus trailed off, unable to contain his excitement. He was finally going to witness flight by a wingless being...but man, names were hard. A lot of the birds he knew of the Northerner's mythology had really hard to pronounce names. Like Hræsvelgr. Scratching his head as he thought, he wondered if Yang had a good idea. She was likely from somewhere where birds had more...sensible names than Hræsvelgr. At least that was his hope.

Nephele had lost herself in the reading, hurriedly scouring through the contents of the book for any signs of a potential world that Neil could have come from. But...well, none fit the bill. Neil most certainly wasn't from Pandemonium, Wonderland, or Heaven, and, just as she reached for the next book in hope of more information being revealed, she was stopped by Neil's urgent request. Hurrying after him, she didn't hesitate, offering a quick nod to his request before gently taking Talia into her arms, careful to not move her head too quickly, and to be especially delicate with her shoulder. She made sure to grab a pillow for Talia to rest her head upon, figuring that she'd need to keep her head, and shoulder slightly elevated in transit.

"I haven't found anything yet. But, I've pulled out a few books that may shed some light. For now, Talia needs aid, and quickly." she said, carrying her out of the building and into a wagon, swiftly getting two horses to pull it. "Hang in there, Talia. You're going to be alright." the dragoness said, offering the Cyclops in the wagon a reassuring smile, and a wet cloth for her forehead.She hoped that Talia would be alright...she had been injured worse than Nephele had that night. Seeing as now she wouldn't be able to focus worrying about Talia, Nephele would wait for Neil in the wagon, wanting to take the journey to Mahigan with him. "Let me go with you," she'd say once Neil would arrive and be ready to drive. "I can't concentrate on studies when a fellow guild-mate is suffering. Come, let's hurry to Mahigan. Do you have anything for her pain?" she added, as if to answer a question before it was even asked. Nephele didn't want to just sit idly by while someone who bled for them suffers. If Talia were to die, then...she wouldn't be sure how to tell Magnus. Or Bast. She'd imagine that he'd be wracked with guilt if she died from an infection while he wasn't there to treat it.

Didn't realize how many floors but I got a small change in mind.


Do tell.

If anybody has any requests for the post coming today, let me know.
@The Irish Tree

I wanted to make a post basically leading the group to the room where their belongings are. Have a literal line of bodies positioned to show them the route till they see Van again in the room and he'll welcome them to escape as he understands team work.


Only problem I can see is the many floors of guards between the group, and going solo commando without sneaking the whole way seems a bit insane. Though, being honest, I'm not gonna have the group stop for every floor. So, that can definitely work. Though, Van is definitely gonna hit a one-man roadblock on the R/T Floor.
Expect a post from me tonight or tomorrow.

Everything going alright?

Magnus was a bit sad that Neil wouldn't be coming along, but figured he knew what he was doing. He was glad that Yang was coming along, though, which made Magnus happy. Talia did want people to come...even if it was only one other person, Kyle and Talia's work deserved to be shown off for how amazing it was. Magnus chuckled a bit at the notion of throwing the machine off the cliff by hand, but was glad that Kyle seemed smart enough to not need raw muscle to send his machine flying.

Having a day's worth of food for the both of them prepared, as well as the flowers and feathers ready to go, Magnus left with Yang. A large piece of parchment lay rolled up in his pack beside the necessary materials as the Minotaur and Monk set out, the former greatly hoping for news of success to help Talia recover. "Thanks for coming, Yang." he said before they left, a simple, heartfelt thanks spoken with an honest smile.

...It felt...good to have friends.




Arriving at the cliff where Kyle planned to make his daring flight, Magnus felt a bit ashamed to admit that he had NO idea where Arletta was. She just...vanished again, just like last time. It was like she was a ghost, or something...

But, Magnus did take pride in managing to find the flowers...even if they were just given to him by a kindly old woman. "Believe it or not, they were a gift from a nice nun. She grew them somewhere...I think," he said, wondering himself how the nun had grown such apparently rare flowers and seemingly given them out with ease. He'd have to remember his promise to escort her, in two days time. He and Freyr had both sworn, and he refused to let a kindly old nun who, indirectly, helped someone's dream come true meet a violent end. That was for the future though. For now, Magnus could only scratch the back of his head as the question of Talia arose. "Talia...well...she caught a fever, and is back at the guild. She wanted me to get these to you...s-so you could fly. She wanted me to tell her everything about it, b-but I had an idea." he said sheepishly, approaching Kyle. "Do you think that...you could fly over the guild? I don't know how far this machine can go, but I just..." He stopped, feeling that his request might come across as ridiculous or insulting, since he had no knowledge of the mechanical workings of Kyle's flying machine, and worried that Kyle might be offended by the questioning of the machine.

Backing away, Magnus would accept whatever Kyle said, taking his parchment out to right a fully detailed account of the flight when it would occur.

Gratefully accepting Neil's pants, Nephele was thankful to not be walking around half-naked. Even with fog, people's minds tended to wander when nudity was involved. Having made her way to the library, she almost immediately dismissed the Fiction section as a starting place. After all, whatever could drag Neil into another world entirely had to be of some sort of magical nature. While tales of princes and fairies were good entertainment, they rarely had Arcanistic backing in their magical workings. Non-Fiction served as a better starting point, but a title like 'Myths Debunked: Some Misconceptions About The World'gave her the impression it was more useful for dismissing the impossible rather than explaining it, and put it atop the copy of 'The Outsiders' she had pulled from the Fiction section.

The final potentially useful book lay in the Non-Fiction area as well, and, grabbing 'Planes Of The Gods: A Guide To The Dimensions Of Known Deities', Nephele carefully ran through the pages with her sharp fingers, searching for any sort of information that could aid in finding out what happened to Neil. Though she wasn't religious, it wasn't quite right to say that she didn't believe that Gods could exist. After all, if Demons currently exist as well as a very real Demon Lord, who's to say that Gods aren't also active in this world? Regardless, gods were not her focus. Rather, her attention was drawn to information about the Dimensions of these deities.

No worries. Take the time you need!
@The Irish Tree

I take it we'd have to talk Perkeo into going with our group to get our belongings?


He's more or less expecting people to follow. So, yeah, could ask him to take you to the Prisoner Belongings room.
