Mordecai stalks his way to J-12.

Mordecai to H-12, lend moral support

You too, huh? Night after getting the booster, I woke up shivering so badly that I got out of bed in order to grab the heaviest blanket I could find, throw it on top of my other bedding, and crawl back under. Headaches and general fatigue the next day, which faded gradually until I felt basically normal the day after.

That shivering was something else, though. Full on teeth chattering and full body shakes. Thought maybe a cold front had gone through or something.

Yeah, they released a big new expansion pack the other week which has resulted in a lot of people playing. Add in difficulties in expanding their server infrastructure (semiconductor shortages) and they're swamped.

Pro tip for the future, throw potions of acid or ink or similar poisonous beverages at golden bells. They'll dodge the bottle, but the puddle of liquid will poison them. Since Bells don't have a lot of health, typically they die in a turn or three.

The recently powered-up butler gives a polite bow. Privately he was very much in agreement with Yliss regarding the Revivians they had encountered so far, but of course he would not say such things.

: "Greetings, Sir Haruho. I am designated 42-1. I am a homunculus created to serve a Master, though at the moment I am primarily in the companionship of Team F in their wanderings and adventures. It was I who named the team, in fact." 42 looked rather pleased that his name seemed to have caught on.

Heat Signature is barely an RPG. Aside from traits and starting equipment, each playable character is almost exactly like every other and completely interchangeable. In fact, you're encouraged to retire characters often because progress is artificially slowed otherwise.

It's a fun top-down action/stealth hybrid, but it's not what I'd call an RPG.
