"Hmm, wonder what that sandwich tastes like."

Kyle continues researching the lack of exsistance of souls.

<They call me the Shadow Prince, actually.>

((actually, angel and will are not avaiaible. GWG is trying to fill in the details of him not being in the game for a week with short mini-plots))

<Visiting her parents. But she's been away for a while and I was allowed to see her parents.>

Had an idea. Maybe PrivateNomad and 4maskwolf should have their races name their respective planets (the smallest and the largest)? Because it's kinda confusing to have them unnamed.

Still a -1 from me to all suggestions involving the Astral Influx for now.  Also for the hell of it, perhaps mention to Al that we just had an odd flashback/hallucination involving him?  Preferably in a way that may trigger his memory, and doesn't just sound like we're randomly daydreaming about him...

This cycle has been going on for over a year now, so I doubt it.

Spoiler: Insane Theorycrafting (click to show/hide)

I just had a revelation that expands on previous theorycrafting, using our newfound knowledge. Bear with me.

So let's say there's this dungeon crawl game. The protagonist and his six siblings have been captured. The protagonist starts out at the bottom of a dungeon, and he has to fight his way to the top for freedom. And, just for fun, let's say there are 8 levels. So, the protagonist goes through the first level, and finds that the exit to the next level is guarded by a big bad boss. A demon of sorts. The protagonist slays it, and goes to the next level. Anytime the protagonist dies, he's reset back to the first level. As he rises through the levels, each boss-demon-devil-thing gets bigger and badder. But, he finds his siblings scattered throughout the dungeon, and they join him. Finally, the protagonist makes it to the final boss. This final boss is one ugly motherfucker. Thousand-yard neck, gaping maw, clearly EVIL, and the only thing standing between him and freedom. He kills it and gets his freedom.

GAME OVER WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONTINUE Y/N? >Y

BEGIN LEVEL ONE

And such is the life of this protagonist. Even when he wins, he's just reset back to the beginning, and has to do the whole thing over again. And he does. Except, one time, he gets to the final boss again, and has a thought. Wouldn't it be more fun to extend the game by not killing the boss? What if he were to become the final boss of his own game? So he instead imprisons the final boss, and recreates the dungeon for his own game.



This is Oric's story. He is the protagonist. We're just one of the siblings.

Which begs the question: What are the cycles? Well, each time Oric died or won, the game reset, and a new cycle begun. And if each cycle was different, one of the cycles could've involved a betrayal by one of the siblings.

Ciro is the new angel in training. Oric will meet up with Betweenford next on DL8, the end of the dungeon, after the new angel's training is complete. DL8 is also where we'll be when we "finish" the Warrens.

So Oric wants the "aberrant," of which we have met two.  Al, the Aberrant Exile, and Mili, the Aberrant Thief.  I'm thinking Mili's death cost us some exposition.

Is "Resurrect Milli" on the List O' Things We May Wish To Do Eventually?  Is it even possible?

We do, and her name's Ciro.

Ooh, new subject. I don't have the slightest idea of what it's supposed to mean, though.
