-coughs- Sorry for the slight delay folks, we had some, ah, important research-
(voice off stage) You mean obsessively reading the entire story arc of Innistrad?
SHUT UP MARY GET BACK IN THE MIRROR ahem. W-without further ado...
-Curtain rises, revealing Yarne tied to a bed-
...What? I'm going to give his race a fair chance at continuing, I'm not a complete barbarian!
-Second curtain rises, revealing Nott-
Don't question how she's here, just accept this is going to be the most ridiculous execution of the group and be glad we're getting it out of the way now. Now get this off the screen, there might be children hiding in the audience pretending to be Manaketes.
-Curtains drop again-
Anyways, we'll be having Yarne here roll a Constitution check to see if he survives the continuation of his species. One, Two, Three!
-A large d20 lands and bounces around before finally coming to a halt-
Ouch, a 2. Guess coming from a game where CON isn't a stat doesn't help much.
(a loud crack and rabbit screaming noises from behind the curtain)
Oh, don't be such a baby about it, your race is (probably) continuing, that's what your whole shtick is about! And there's like a 50% chance that they'll be Jotun too, meaning they'll be super big, meaning it'll be harder to hunt them down, so they're more likely to survive and repopulate! You're saving an entire species at the mere cost of your pelvis and maybe your lungs, I'd say that's a fair trade! (mutters to the side) Somebody put him out of his misery quick.
(noises die down with the sound of something being wheeled away)
Ok, now I just have to figure out a way to spin this so PETA doesn't come after me...while I'm doing that, you guys figure out the next Future Shepherd whose bloodline doesn't get to continue. Until next time!

Wait whatthe
That was supposed to be on a timer.

I'm gonna drop this here for your perusal. Start at Traversal Items. This should be a good helping of ideas they could theoretically pull into Metroid proper. Something I find I like about Fight is that multiple items cover certain types of item-requiring blockages - ah, this run has doors that need to be burned, as well as dark rooms. Will I get the Bright Shell(yes please) or the Bright Orb(ew)? Will I get the Flamethrower or the Flame Bolts? I don't recall any time Metroid has ever done this, since I believe the Ice Missiles were specifically added for the sake of replacing the Ice Beam(though I haven't played Dread so who knows), and I think the game could benefit from different options or ways to get around things besides sequence breaking.

Seriously, you should look into getting some professional help, if you haven't already.
Yeah, probably, but I wouldn't say that would be the primary reason - I talk a lot of exaggeratedly depressed crap when I'm exhausted and hungry. Realistically speaking I just get exponentially more cynical with each new stupid thing I find about our modern world.

If you say so, I find the most positive people seem to all be completely oblivious to how screwed we all are. There seems to be a ratio where the more you know about the world, the less happy with it you become. I'm trying to work on keeping my positivity intact because I'm certainly not very helpful during my mother's government/current events class, but the only way I've figured out to have that be effective is more or less to laugh at everything.

I think the difficulty with Kjelle compared to Sev is that with Sev, she got more of a chance to be shown in a separate light due to appearing in Fates. Admittedly, there was a very low ceiling of how well she could be portrayed there, it being Fates, but I think the extra screentime did her some good, though it is hilarious that she says you 'broke her' into not saying something snarky when you as her husband give her a birthday present. It's your husband, sweetheart. On your birthday. It's not going to kill your reputation to say aww, thanks for thinking of me one time.
Sev, Inigo, and Owain are also prime examples of what happens when you practice putting up an emotional mask for too long, so I kind of have to appreciate them for that. It's also why Gerome isn't bottom-tier for me, he's of course the prime example of what happens when you practice putting up a literal mask for too long. Kjelle doesn't really showcase that as poignantly as the others - though you can kind of see her break a little in one or two A/S-Supports - so she's not as high as she could be.

Outside of using wood for everything or just invent something that's truly biodegradable, there really isn't much of an solution for it.

It makes perfect sense to me that this sort of thing is going on, I've just reached the point where I have to come up with some way to laugh at every new (censored)-up thing I find or else I absolutely will kill myself.
Occasionally I find something I can't laugh at no matter how I try, but for the most part I've about figured it out.

(Insert Henry's base picture complete with infuriating smile)
And this is why I avoid the Serious Discussion forum - I simply cannot take these things seriously, otherwise I would probably have killed myself some time ago to avoid it all. Didn't notice the forum you'd posted in.
Also yes. That is the nature of the modern world. Everything and everyone has been screwed over for some time now. I'm sorry to hear you're only just now finding this out.
According to my mother this all works out in the end though, because Jesus. So far I have yet to find someone who can give me a more cohesive answer than that. I will keep you posted in the event something comes up.
I'm leaving this forum now, sorry to interrupt.

Yeah but there were like three or four people who picked her because she's rude.

Why would you want microplastics though, just upgrade to macroplastics.
Don't let yourself settle for less than you deserve.

Well, she's lucky to have a boyfriend like yourself to give her a hand with that! I'm afraid I don't have Instagram or Twitter, so I can't help you guys much there, but I hope she's able to keep doing what she loves!

Basically all he did was be a whiny loser.
Considering just being rude in general got Kjelle wiped, I guess that's really all it takes, which is a shame because Yarne does have a couple Supports where he has some decent growth.

You keep making bold statements like this. I think you forget the kind of weirdos that inhabit this forest. Perhaps we won't 100% get it, but at least some of it will hit home for some of us, if you happen to not remember you're not quite the only one to do something in this vein.

Now, now, my dear, I'm afraid this is unavoidable. Be grateful I happen to like you, it means you die quickly.
-gunshot noises-
Interesting. It would seem the average Knight armor is unfortunately incapable of protecting from armor-piercing ammunition, especially when used for headshots while the target isn't wearing a helmet.
-The More You Know plays-
With that, we have our first casualty. Don't think this is over, though - we still have 11 deaths to see who the last Future Shepherd standing is, after all! Who will bite the bullet, so to speak, next? YOU decide!!!

I still need to finalize the hypothetical map placement and turn count. In the meantime, all I can say is that there is at least one of you currently spot-on for first kill. In the event that anyone gets wiped in the right spot for the 'correct' order, I'll probably make a note so you can all see it.

She does tend to be really rude to most people in her Supports - even Lucina she basically only hangs out with because Luci fits her idea of strong and she seems to subscribe to some variation of Ashnard’s worldview. I think Severa might be the only person she isn’t rude to in the Supports, there she’s just sort of indifferent.

Anon. Our ally, our friend, fellow lurker on this digital forest. Do us a favor. Do not give us sudden and severe heart palpitations and double-take-induced whiplash with such shining sparkling promises. Thank you.
4 hours ago, AnonymousSpeed said:Ah yes, the comment. The comment I made, the comment made especially about Toki's ambition. My comment. What comment?
...Huh. Somehow I've lost it, but I swear you said you found his second life goal interestingly relevant. This became obvious during Charlie's first introductory speech to everyone, but this piece makes it doubly interesting considering Toki's background(which I suppose you'd have to dig a bit to find, not linking it here in case it becomes relevant later).

Runescape.
"(insert gameplay)" is an interesting one, because it skips over the kinds of events that really only work as spectacle or experience, which writing can't really convey. It's a funny joke, but also oddly practical. Unfortunately, it's the most interesting thing about the story, which mostly retreads old ground with a few unsettling curiosities.
The more I familiarize myself with anime and games and such the more I find myself gravitating towards characters she voices, without knowing she voices them. It's a strange thing.
I completely forgot I put insert gameplay in, that was supposed to be a note for me to come back and at least try to do something for that.
This wasn't supposed to be the original entry. However, somebody(naming no names) did not provide the assistance required to set the original entry up, driving me to coercively purchase an abandoned slaughterhouse with which to end a baker's dozen of Unit lives by popular decision. This also resulted in the current piece in its unfinished state, which I threw together in about...I wanna say like 1-2 hours of actual typing which is horrendously rushed for me.
No, actually, I never played Runescape. I keep hearing about it, so I should give it a try sometime.

I admit, I laughed at (Insert Gameplay). I appreciate how closely you are following the Awakening script with this, and like the little added contextual explanation of Fredrick’s discomfort for why they camp in the woods. Although I must admit, that similarity is a double-edged sword, as it is both very dependent on a lot of intimate knowledge of Awakening (those without it would probably have the same complaint I opened AnonymousSpeed’s entry with), and leaves it vulnerable to plagiarism/copyright concerns in some contexts.
See the notes above. Also possibly link to my slaughterhouse for context. In theory the original entry was going to be substantially more confusing and less obviously plagiaristic.

This isn't the only big event cancellation to get dropped on us like this either, Konami announced this week that they were cancelling Yu-Gi-Oh! Worlds this year too.

Well, I guess I'll start.
SpoilerThis was good. I don't have enough Genealogy knowledge to really comment in detail, but I have just enough to understand the changes made here, and I find it very interesting. Manfroy realizing he'd screwed up so terribadly was probably my favorite part. As someone who likes to look at things from multiple perspectives, I have to wonder how hard that battle with BoN Deirdre and lil' Seliph would have been. You fit the prompt really well too, nice work!
Spoiler...I understand the comment you made about Toki's ambition now. That really makes me wish we had got to see how ol' Charlie would have reacted after finding out about Toki's sister and his resultant grudge. Also you should have seen me laugh once I realized what was going on, your opening had me convinced he'd been distracted by something and screwed up the bridge design, then once you mentioned Belladonna I thought she was going to be the one on the bridge when it went out.
However, something something ruined =/= warped 0/10 /s. I think this one does lose out a little due to being tricky for most people to follow, since not everyone has the world knowledge background I do.SpoilerI liked this one, but it falls prey to one of the same difficulties as Anon's - namely, I'm most likely the only one here who understands what's actually happening. Anon and Benice have been around your writing enough that they may be slightly familiar with Caleb's world, but without having read through your stuff as far as I have they probably miss the significance, and I imagine Indigo and our anonymous friend are completely in the dark - they probably made the same mistake a lot of us have, and thought Caleb was Morgan.
Other than that, it's solid, as Anon said there are a couple places the sentences run on a little, but as I'm sure you know I'm one to talk.
@our anonymous friend
SpoilerI think these could have been a little longer, but overall I think I gotta give this round to you - you went so far as to create a double-sided entry to fit the double-sided prompt, then left subtle links between the two so one could see this as you connecting SD with the ruined future of Awakening. Also I'm a Nagi fan so anything involving her has an unfair advantage.
You also make me wonder how Anankos' favor would have been received there. Was Naga still coherent enough to see the sudden visual change? Would she care? Things to ponder that interest me, even if nobody else sees it that way.

I have returned. Here is thing. Will be updated in the future.
SpoilerNotes(Post-Read Recommended):
SpoilerIt should be immediately obvious that something is terribly wrong with this timeline - there are no characters voiced by Kate Higgins.
I intend to progress this piece at least to the end of Chapter 3, as noted in the Doc name. This is so I can introduce other examples of people-who-aren't-supposed-to-be-here and possibly another example of people-who-should-be-here-but-aren't.
Glynda is a character who is well-known by a different name among the fanbase of a fairly niche 13-year-old MMO. Her alias as Glynda comes from a recent event in said MMO occurring last month. In the unlikely event that you happen to be familiar with said MMO, kindly refrain from spoiling this to the others.

I do hope to participate next month. I've had quite the block lately, so hopefully the next round will bear fruit for me.
Whoops, didn't see this.
I believe it will be at a presentable point tonight, so I'll link it once I get to that point, but I don't mind it being a non-participation entry, though I will still appreciate any feedback.

Well, now, judging this round just got very difficult indeed.

This is apparently very late, but so you are aware it's so I can keep track of whose death track is in the "right order", though I'm certainly fine to change that. So far I believe Jotari and Chloey are the only two who voted for a correct option, back in the first round, though I haven't checked my notes so someone might be on track this round.
