Never give up! Never surrender!
And it would look bad if we were defeated. We're a Color, you know.

A while ago some serious stuff went down which really threw me off and I didn't feel like updating for a while (By serious stuff I mean that my dog got bitten by a snake and nearly died).

Ouch. I can...is it sympathize or empathize when you haven't experienced exactly that but can still imagine the magnitude of the sadness?

I'm also not really sure if I want to update this for a few reasons. First is that I made the mistake of setting it in a city. It took me 3 hours to draw Roger's room and I think the marketplace should be a lot more complex, as would pretty much every other location you visit. So the whole adventure would require much more of my time then my other adventures which had less complex environments. Secondly I find myself really feeling like doing build a colony again.

Hey, run what you want to run.

Well I'm sure most of us won't mind if you scale down the market to just individual stalls instead of a giant thing.

Same here. I mean, how many video game cities do you see that are actually big enough to be what they claim to be?
*chuckle*

"Oh my gawd that hurt.
Ow."

Katelyn replaces the bottle on a lower, safer shelf, and reaches for the band-aids again.

[5-1] You locate the band-aids.

Jane froze(paradoxically) before smiling and waving Followed by running away.

Once out of slight, power down and look awestruck in a direction, like a flaming person just ran past me.

[3] You manage to escape. [2] You don't think you look nearly as awestruck as you should. Also, some kid seems to have recognized you--a girl, maybe 12?
"It's that girl-on-fire!"
You consider if it's weird that your fame is growing so fast, or if the weird of being able to turn into fire cancels that out.

Nap. Unless something interrupts me.

Not yet.
Your integration into the plot will happen...eventually...

What does a shut-in do when getting mobbed?

PANIC.

[6v3+1] You start punching, clawing, and kicking, and manage to escape, your shirt a bit ripped and your dignity battered but physically okay.
[1] The mob is still after you.

So the voice wasn't just a petulant child. This would make dealing with it much more difficult.

Try to filter out the voice with happy thoughts. Think about my family. Think about painting. The voice is a transient thing. It can offer me nothing. It is merely noise that seeks to make me impatient. Also, step away from the building.

[5v2] The voice is filtered out, for now.

You quickly head down the street, trying to look nonchalant. Since you just destroyed what was evidently a load-bearing wall with a single punch, you automatically fail. The building collapses into the street.
[3] A chunk of debris flies past you, nicking your arm.
You consider that your passport will probably be revoked shortly.

...

"Well, because..."

... Oh this is going to look insane.

"Um..."

Screw it.

lie down, turn back into normal form. Likely scream some more and freak people out.

[6+1] You look...extremely calm as you shift. This startles people even more than the shapeshifting.
"Alright. Um, could you come back and explain the problem?"
"I can't move. Broke my back. That's the problem."
"Alright." The receptionist starts doing stuff.

Taisho glares and removes his phone.
"Another one? Ugh. And...paralysis, great."
He turns to Williamina. "You were hit by the meteorite, though? That means something happened. We aren't sure what, but it did."

Would "Hi No Shōjo" (火の少女) be the correct way to say "Girl On Fire"?

Um. That sucks.

Say, why did I get enhanced aim and not anything useful?

Rolled that way.

*checks roll chart  suspiciously*

Oh, funny thing, due to the way the Interface works, you can still talk to them. So feel free to wish your teammates good luck or tell them how they failed you or something.

Noted.

What does 'desynchronization' mean? And why do I feel funny?

((Remind me to kill grate once i get back from the survey, i wanna see what happens if i jump start the corpses heart after the new Grate pops into existence.))

((Do a quick Jim double-check.))

More importantly, I think it is very important that Grate still attempt to keep himself alive, despite the apparent advantages of his condition. Especially if it resets his memory, because we don't know if it merely resets him to a single specific point, instead of gradually worsening or introducing some other kind of eventual handicap a-la Morul's former all-seeing goggles.

((I intend to. Although Grates 1-4 would probably try to fill Grate 5 in. Probably in contradictory manners, because they all only remember one bit of it but have opinions/theories on the rest. And because #3 is a bit of a megalomaniac.
I am wondering what the risk of clone degradation is, though.))

If you really want to experiment, there's still one corpse of Grate left that is nominally revivable.))

((I wonder what that would do.))

Minu is now afraid to go home with her temporary guardian because tentacle monster! ..And I made it creepy... I'll go jump off a cliff now.

Poor Minu.

Speak away.
