I don't know why but I was half expecting Abyssal Hunter Gregor since Metamorphosis. Instead of turning into a cockroach, he's turning into a Seaborn.

Not sure who I thought would be High Inquisitor but Don Quixote wasn't who I expected.

More people coming in. Searching for their lost allies, probably. Similar implants. I was trying to hotwire the car.

I don't understand how this thing works.

I have no idea what this engine is supposed to run on and the car doesn't function the way it's supposed to.

I'm also not very good with machines. Other then guns, obviously.

They get rid of bodies here. That's a job they do, actually, as their family sort of handles this shit for the city they're in.

I didn't really get it?

I think what they meant is that they do assassin jobs for a bunch of people and naturally have to clean a lot of bodies.

Ah yes, the concept of waste disposal teams that won't take care of prodigious amounts of corpses. How baffling!

I have to ask, how long did it take you to find an operator that wasn't super fucked up? Because I think that's everyone in the main storyline and most of the sidestories.

"...that's the secret, I guess. A violation of the Head's taboos. With time, the user ceases to be human and starts being… machine, I don't know. All that is left is a solution, holding the mind of the target in its "correct definition." They don't allow you to feed your brain to a robot, to prolong your consciousness- why would they allow this? I don't know why they didn't go after me. Maybe they knew I would leave the City before the line was crossed, and that I would not return."

Hey Talulah how are you feeling these days? You good?

[X] Interlude: The Painted World
Malkuth reverberation, breaking into the hiki-neets house. I love it.
 
[X] Interlude: Stalemate

Me when obligatory super weapon waiting to end the world in one single strike

[X] Interlude: The Painted World

Need I say more? Malkuth.
 
...........
Not quite right, a reasonable conclusion mayhaps but not the whole thing
A corp, arbitration, artificialliality, alpha as leader, Ai, Afterlife
A Corp is not pro human as I gather but rather anti faux human
Otherwise the sefirah would likely have been canned pardon the joke

And yes those are the words I associate a Corp with
Limbus shows that all the wings insanity........... not quite insane
Each singularity affects their Taboos and rules
Example n corps photo taboo and their canned experiences
Thus it goes to stand that A corps singularities (plural) likely have to do with those in effect
With C Corp potentially having the predecessor of R corps own singularity: Cloning

Do pardon my tangent but it's something interesting wouldn't you agree

[X] Interlude: Stalemate

Stalemate because god damn, the Emperor's Blades are gonna throw down with the Helix of the End and I have a mighty need to see it!

The Painted World becaue Malkuth dragging Dusk out of her NEET cave sounds incredibly funny.

Seems like it's a HORIZONTAL SPLIT between Stalemate and the Painting! Neck in neck at 14!
 
Literally made an account to be limbin' all over the place after binge-reading this shit. It's good shit, like really fantastic writing and I just adore it. Got me to play the turb office mod. Fun mod. Hope my voting isn't fucked up since first post n' all.

woo more theorycrafts
im unsure about "all allies" support passives, especially ones that not only have useful effects but also are (owned) and not res or a-res; I feel like shatter the tide could say "two allies with the lowest SP" on a gloom-res of 2, and maybe keep the all allies on Endure, For Iberia! but make it like, pride a-res 3 instead. Lantern's Light should be /2 rounded down, getting a minimum of 3 attack down with it being easy to get more would just completely neuter a number of fights.

Skills! ishmael is very wacky. I initially was a little scared of how fast she'll get but outside of longer wave fights where she has more skill slots to work with its probably fine, and even then you'd need to do like S1 S1 -> S1 S1 to get enough to crack s2 wide open (though s3 is probably good enough even at only 3 haste). The seaborn frenzy skills are all really good, but they're not too much better than Notably OP Unit NSinc and require setup, so i think its fine. I'd like to see this as an identity. (btw what damage type is her counter?)

Don S1 is just standard S1 nonsense but with slightly better numbers. its definitely very good since it has pierce fragility but if the goal is to make a strong identity I think its still within the bounds of the game. S2 is very similar in that its "good numbers, good effect, nothing too insane". S3 fluctuates between being completely terrible and wildly op quite good. In most cases its likely the former and you just eat it with a guard to get back your ammo for more s2s. If she somehow lives on 20% HP (which I had someone do today, actually), thats a nice +8, making it a 4C [1]+11, or 1-45.... which is probably still worse than nsinc, so whatever.

FINAL REVIEW: very funny and i think they would be interesting to use

Not very long, because I am a Purestream stan and have her full maxed out and kitted in every Mastery for both skills, so she immediately came to my mind as a person with very minute amounts of trauma.

You might notice that it's Attack Level down, not Attack Down. It's okay, most people do forget about the Attack Level system- but the values are way too high, yeah. I changed some of the values to make it more reasonable- I don't think there's really anything wrong with Endure, For Iberia! since it only affects Guard skills, and at most is some damage mitigation, but I did increase the owning threshold to 6.

Ishmael's counter is Blunt, as it it would have a literal shockwave from Ishmael crying out loud.

Yeah the levels system is currently kinda funky. Pretty sure they just announced that they're changing it to something that looks more reasonable soon. Instead of each skill having multipliers, it's a flat addition or subtraction of levels.
