((XAN DICE AVAST))

Quickly, use my fire cape to fly! Turn it into a pair of wings temporarily or use it as a parachute or something.

It totally works that way, shut up.

question:

i keep hearing references in horus books about tyrannid teeth, bones, or trophies. i hear about machine spirits and et al in these 30k, age of reason books.

what gives?  it seems almost sloppy for them.
Do what I do and assume that the HH books are an in-universe retelling of the Heresy collated from a wide variety of sources and influenced by in-universe bias.

((Oh, that is interesting. Not only the fact of how the SILENCE is affecting my mind by locking my thoughts away a few seconds after I have them, and the minder's thought getting dragged screaming into my mind was most satisfying, but the apparent cessation of the illusion she was casting is ... intriguing. Also what manner of creature she is, but this opens up new vistas of possibility for what I might be able to do with other Words.))

Yep, seems like the time to do it. Make sure to save the pithy one-liner for after her head hits the ground.

I suppose it doesn't count that Xan has faith in himself? *hedging the bet as much as physically possible*

Well, hopefully those tribespeople believe their god's bullshit about me.

((I suppose Sebastian could attempt to summon a really big spiked ball in the giant hand's fist. Might be problematic though, considering that's where the warbeast is.))
No worries, I've got an !!idea!!

I have returned! Both from the depths of my psyche and from various errands. Time to enact a probably-stupid action that is nonetheless less stupid than what I accidentally did. Or perhaps far more stupid, but fuck it, if I'm dying I'm going out killing everything in the vicinity.

Firstly, grab Engine Spirit, seeing as one way or another the warbeast probably won't exist for much longer. Put the 'annihilate everything in the vicinity' note in the shell, though don't crush it. If I die via squishy or droppy, it'll probably break and thus activate it anyway, so post-mortem revenge will be got.

Then attempt an Act Of Faith: set everything (and I mean everything around me not me, the engine spirit, or the various books and other things I have) on fire, and channel that flame to burn the fuck out of the hand thing. While also not harming ... well, anyone who believes in me, particularly the most-beautiful dudes. My Fires Protect The Faithful or whatever. Hopefully this'll burn up some of the flesh of the hand, which I can then gain power from and use it to further burninate it.

Hopefully the most-beautiful guys start singing a song about me to help or something, I need as much faith as I can get for this.

well guess we die then fucj it

edit: though perhaos i shouldn't make lasting decisions during a depressive funk. I'll try to edit to something survivalierer

Well, long-term goals could mean a lot of things. How long-term are we talking? We're still a while away from overthrowing the local kingdom at the rate we're going, and then there's the other principalities in the neighboring region, and then the actual big empires and such. Becoming a god is endgame territory for us, if we do achieve it.

That said, if we do become a god I'm not going to settle for being one among many. We's gonna eat the other ones, that's what we'll do.

Well hey look an update happened!

Someone should probably get a handle on that demon transformation Names is going through, he's looking progressively more badass. The other members of the group are getting left behind.

Hmm. Perhaps this was not a wholly good idea, but then again what is?

Make sure I didn't accidentally lobotomize myself or erase my own memories or anything, then bid the nice alchemist farewell and go ... ah yes. Go find Rainbow, on the guise of having forgotten where the captain's quarters were.

"Everyone who wishes to live will climb out on the warbeast's hand before the Mount King crushes you. Most-Beautiful's followers, this includes you. Now. I suggest hanging onto me."

If I have time before big hand go squishy squish or droppy drop, write in a short extension to 'get me to outside of Heaven' note to include anyone touching me and also the warbeast spirit thingy. Then put note in shell and crush shell. If I don't have time, just save me.

((WELP))

Back to the warbeast folks, and get that 'escape to the edge of the heaven' note ready. If the hand looks about to squish me, use it.

Spoiler: Xan (click to show/hide)

This is a rather silly wtf, but I just watched Unbreakable. Fucking amazing movie, I've no idea why I never heard of it, etc etc.

But how in the fuck did Shymalan manage to make both that and shit like Signs and After Earth?

Like, how? Unbreakable's one of the best directed movies I've ever seen - the use of color that actually has a point, the way a lot of the shots are framed, the camera angles, the foreshadowing, the music (oh the music), the twist ending which was actually good ... the fucker made a superhero origin story as good as, or maybe even better than, Iron Man, something like 15 years before the whole superhero movie thing started blowing up the box office.

I just can't reconcile that fucking amazing direction in the movie with ... Signs. After Earth. Last Airbender. How the fuck were those all made by the same guy?

Daniels chuckles internally at the question he posed to himself.

Best find out.
