WEEK 1

[Well, this is...happening. This is a thing. This is your life now. The Commander is expecting you to just up and kill one another, and then try to get away with it. No big deal, right? You guys can handle this. You won't fall for what she has. She's clearly an idiot. A loud idiot, but still an idiot. She's not going to get one over you.

...Right?

In any case, the Commander's quarters are now open for anyone who decides they can actually stand to be in the same room as her, but beware - any favor you might ask of her is going to come at a price, and who knows what she'll ask you to do if you decide to gain a boon from her. Unless you're a suck-up like Baku - then she'll apparently be flattered. Maybe that's a good tactic to use?


Whatever you do, try not to murder the bread again. The Bread Did Nothing Wrong.


There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

Contract? Like with a demon?

[Excuse him he is here for this.]

[stealsyourduelist]

Certainly. One of my men deals in demons exclusively, although they are better known to us as fiends.... there are beasts and fairies, machines and warriors, and many more. Mine is the powerful Blue Eyes White Dragon.

I've never heard of it, but surely someone could have come up with a better name than just its physical description? That's like calling you "Blue Eyes Beanpole".

[stealsyourduelist]

I believe it's a fine name if you know the history. It came from the spirit of a woman with snow-white hair and eyes of blue who had been persecuted in Egypt. She was stoned for her foreign appearance, yet had a soul as powerful as the gods.

[Rosie do you want to have sex with this card or just own it -]

But it's a dragon now, right? ... It's somewhat obscure and confusing, then.

[stealsyourduelist]

[He already owns the dragons, but as for the flowery descriptions he's mostly just quoting someone who wanted to fuck it.]

Yes, the soul was that dragon... Well, the Egyptians had a different concept of souls, so the truth may be more complex than that, but that's the summary.

[crouching_sin]

They had multipart souls - or at least, that was their belief. There were at least five parts.

[stealsyourduelist]

So you're familiar. Then it's simple. The monsters of Egypt had all originated from a person's Ka - their double self and life force.

[crouching_sin]

Interesting... that's not something from my world, though I do know some Egyptian magicians did... interesting things with magic.

[stealsyourduelist]

Oh? If it's that different, I'm intrigued... I would be interested to know about your world's ancient magic, and whether it died out or not.

[crouching_sin]

Largely magic has, at least among most people. I know magic - of course I do, since I programmed a - er. I developed a way to have technology aid in the casting of it, among other things.
