Mist placed a hand on Soryn's side

Soryn has a very long side to touch, and I forgot how close to the front Mist is sitting. Would she be touching Soryn's scales, or his humanoid skin? I'm guessing it's the scales, but I'd better double check.

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

Updated with a clarifying adjective, as well as a section for Bonnie and friends.

I will get to work on the next round of fighting a wyvern soon.

Updated my post to include Mael. It's short because I'm running out of things for him to say until the hunt starts. Or the next day.

[up] I think I can fix that.

Sarquoql's telepathy was eavesdropping on the group below, getting a boost in clarity with Soryn's eyes and ears. Sarquoql had to resist the urge to facepalm at what Mael had just said.

Unamused, Sarquoql thought privately to Mael, "Way to drop a blatant clue to the people we might be hunting later, rookie!"

[down] ! ??? ... Oh. That's okay, I'd rather have false alarms than not notice anything. I am on a bit of a hair-trigger thanks to past circumstances of mine.

Miss, I owe you my life.

Oh no! I hope I didn't worry you! I was just saying thank you for giving me inspiration for Mael! Sorry about that!

Heyo Pyxo, you're up to bat in the Transporter Room.

Or is it the Sick Bay now? It seems we've transitioned location tags, but I didn't see any explicit movement in the text. Could be a me problem, but it'd be good to know for certain.

Taking a snooze cruise for now. May write for Henry/Joseph/Arku tomorrow. Catch you all later. smile

I didn't see any explicit movement in the text either, even though I put in the arrow to Sick Bay into the header and then forgot it was in there and didn't remove it before copypasting.

The things I look up out of curiosity... Contrary to my previous assumption, I just found out that pigs are not loud while mating. Which means I'm going to have to slightly retool the boars' strategies. Lunkhead is now stealthier, exploiting Loggerhead's Cacophony Cover-Up.

Each other? No. Jobe's sows? Possibly, unless the P Cs are cunning enough to prevent it, and I'd certainly avoid direct features "on-screen", cutting to bystander reactions as much as I possibly can: e.g. Jobe wailing a Big "NO!", or Soryn asking for Brain Bleach or trying to shield someone else's eyes, or Jobe's dogs running away from the scene of their failure.

Remember when Jobe said "Damn that fucking Lunkhead and his bastard piglets!" and mentioned it painted a rather literal picture? He said that because he's fed up with finding half-wild and untrainable piglets in his litters of future generation truffle-hunters. That more than any other damage the boars cause is eating into his profits. I'm trying to find a good point for Jobe to complain more about what's been going on (and coincidentally shedding more light on why I picked Jobe for his name).

So... just so we're clear. Soryn's decided to board the bus, bringing along Mist, Aseyu, Moobly and Maelys unless the explicitly decide not to join him (quite yet), am I reading that right? Sorry, little sleep deprived at the moment.

Sorry, little sleep deprived at the moment.

Join the club.

Anyway, if I'm reading this right, Mist hopped off of Soryn in favor of her wolf steed Fog and someone's trying to switch places with someone else riding Soryn?

Mist raised a hand in apology, her whistle in her grasp. She then tucked the whistle away before boarding the bus.

Approaching Jobe, Mist ruffled Fog's fur.

So Let Me Get This Straight..., Mist boards the bus before going to pet Fog, does this mean Fog followed Mist onto the bus? Or did Soryn carry Mist onto the bus and then Mist dismounts and gets off the bus to go to Fog?

I'm not entirely sure.

Fog's by Jobe, who I thought was on the bus. Mist got off Soryn and headed over to where Fog and Jobe are.

Eh. I've got what I need; I can edit whether Aseyu is on the bus or not easily enough. For now, that she's by Fog and Jobe and not on Soryn suffices.

I wasn't particularly paying attention to where Jobe was either. But if Jobe was on the bus, he could and probably would have rushed off of it to pet the doggy.

Reintegrating into This Semester: Online Edition has put a brief hitch in my posting. Hopefully I'll have it sorted by tomorrow at the latest.

Still waiting on Pyxo for the space group, who I now believe are still in the transporter room.

I have a feeling that Varla exploding at Jackson's question of "Can you please tell us your plans next time so we won't be thrown off guard, like with what happened to Adam?" would be way more trouble than it's worth...

"WE TRIED! We warned you that the bug did something fishy to Adam! You blew us off! We TRIED to warn you that he needed to be EXAMINED, and you healed him WITHOUT an examination! We TRIED to say he needed to go to Sick Bay, you INSISTED on leaving this spaceship's anti-spying protection and going to where Mael could freely spy on you instead! We couldn't vocalize freely then, and when Adam started showing more signs of tampering, we ran out of time to explain! We HAD to teleport Adam out FAST, or MAEL WOULD HAVE TELEPORTED HIM AWAY BEFORE WE DID! YOU KNOW MAEL CAN TELEPORT! YOU SAW HIM TELEPORT! YOU PUT ADAM IN MORE DANGER THAN WE EVER DID BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN!"

Just as well, the only other option I could think of was still quite acidic:

"Oh, we'd be delighted to tell you our plans, as long as we're certain that a: we're not being spied on by Mael, and b: you'll listen to us for once!"

Hmm... still working on Joseph's part of the transporter room group, and that alone has already wound up much longer than I had expected. I don't think I'll have anything quite done by tonight. Or at least not before I get unbearably tired unbearably early. Sorry folks. Should have a freer focus tomorrow.

I'll work on the Forest stuff next. Need to take a bit of a break and I didn't want to keep the Hummingbird group waiting.

I'd like to remind again that Davey is not meant to be a character who is objectively accurate or correct all of the time. In this particular instance he's speaking from a very emotionally charged state, blurring the lines between the situation as it was (which, given his tempestuous position in it, he doesn't actually know or even remember in full) and the situation as he felt it to be.

Claire then sighed and shrugged, "I suppose you're right about that, it'd be like comparing apples and oranges. But!" Claire poked Varla in the chest, "I do not appreciate you insulting one of my friends with your prejudiced slander. Stuff like that is what landed Lulu at the Sanctuary in the first place."

Oh, man. Varla won't like this...

Varla grabbed the front of Claire's shirt. "Now you listen to me and you listen to me good. I am repeating the warnings taught to me by friend and foe alike; some verbal, some written, and some inferred from organic stains on floors, walls and ceilings. When it comes to seduction, my species is outclassed by incubi and succubi. Despite that, when my former captors were looking for some seductive siren to enslave and mold into their living sex weapon, they picked me instead of Lulu or any other succubus. Do you know why? I'll tell you why. First of all, they couldn't find anyone to sic a succubus on that some demon or other wasn't already targeting. Second, I and my species are easier to control than demons, and my former captors knew it. They did not overestimate Lulu. They did not underestimate me. They figured I had a worrying chance of escaping and causing huge amounts of collateral damage along the way, and they went after me anyway because the odds they calculated for a succubus doing the same thing was not a chance, but an inevitability. Friend and foe alike, too many from each side found out the hard way: Any semblance of control any mortal tries to exert over any demon is a mere illusion. Given all that, my former captors pragmatically decided to not try to boss demons into doing what those demons were already doing, as that would essentially be paying a heavy price for nothing. I was made the way I am because of how demons are the way they are."

...If Varla lectures like that, Arnaya is going to take advantage of Varla's distraction and muster what little strength she has to try to bite Claire as cold-dish retaliation for the "bite me instead" goading.

This almost makes me think about the "What the fuck did you say about me" copy pasta, lol.

In any case, if Arnaya does try to strike Clarie, now that gives me a chance to really showcase the NCH's abilities more, and use that paralyzing circle I mentioned constantly.
