Slivers Adrift in Infinity [MTG/RWBY]

Reader mode
No one's said we're planning on lying. Being not-especially-cooperative, yes. But if you're going to freak out, at least freak out accurately, I guess? :V

Also, I suspect that looking like he knows everything is a legitimate tactic Ozpin uses. It makes people reveal things that he actually doesn't know. He might well already know what we're doing- but he also might not, he might just be fishing for a reaction.

Oh yeah, let's make Ozpin trust us even less. Great plan guys, 8/8.

[x] Oh, sorry, I wasn't aware that anyone else used mana.
-[x] Answer any other questions, but don't volunteer other information. Do volunteer that you use mana to make babies, who will always be smaller than you.

[x] Advantageous Ground - You can imbue your aura into an area in order to gain a vast array of small advantages that give help out you and your allies, and make life difficult for your enemies. very expensive in terms of Aura, but the area is pretty hefty, and the bonuses add up.

Okay explain to me how it would look if you were Ozpin and he was aware of what we did? Now imagine how we would look a few months from now when we start birthing hundreds of monsters near his school along with everyone else? Seriously why can't we just be honest with him instead of making him distrust us?

He already knows that we did something, so I don't think playing dumb is the best idea.

[X] Aura Sliver - You can spend aura to reinforce the Aura of other slivers at a 1-1 ratio, and can awaken the Aura of other slivers 20% cheaper, and may do so at range. You'll still need to build up your Aura a lot first, and will still need to learn how to awaken auras, though that knowledge will come much easier to you.

Can people please not grab the damn idiot ball by with holding information and acting shady for no damn reason?

I think Awakened Aura slivers are FAR better, we have a limited sustainability cap per zone, so making Thrums and special slivers stronger without costing more food is a godsend.

Going by the update it seems like he is aware that we are doing something. That write in that several people voted for is pretty blatant with someone trying to avoid answering a question which is suspicious as fuck. Seeing no damn reason why we shouldn't be more open since in literally a few months we are going to be going though an exponential growth that is going to be highly noticeable and I would rather we have a good relationship Ozpin since he is one of the best allies we can ask for and the most understanding.

I was thinking that we maybe talk to Ozpin about convincing the kingdom to accept sliver hives near villages to help protect them and Advantageous Ground would be great for that.

Consider the ability to buff any sliver to Queen grade Aura at range after awakening as well.

We're necessarily going to expand past civilization into grimm lands, and for that, more efficient Aura unlocking across the hive and being able to dump a buff where its needed pays better than an ability designed to hold ground(which runs into sustainability problems, as an area has limits on sliverpower sustainable, regardless of our local advantge

Should be noted that depending on how the deal is hashed out with the kingdom we could maybe just get other people with aura to unlock the aura of our Slivers.

The effort taken is substantial, note that.
Assuming people would endlessly and freely commit a lot of the personal efforts of their elites to awaken monsters is...chancy

Slivers are a sapient species not monsters. Having a people that would make defending villages from Grimm and bandits would be a godsend for Remnant, especially with area control. Sure there may be some issues at first but once we get some good PR it should be a lot easier to bargain with the kingdom about these sort of things. That's part of why I really want Ozpin as an ally and not give him reason to be suspicious of us.

I don't get why people do this.

It's dumb. I expects.us to lie to a guys who probably has like diplomacy intrigue e
30. and there is literally no character that ever does this to a pc that's not hated.

The dont volunteer I formation trick is basic bullshit and people do t like bullshit. Ozpin may be a soft touch be he's not that soft.

Should we maybe tell Ozpin about our ability to spawn a lot of Slivers and combine their abilties? It's going to come out eventually and we have been warned that it would probably anger quite a lot of people if we kept it hidden for too long. Was thinking we make a deal with the kingdoms where we have a hive near each village to help protect it.

We already told the human's that we can spawn more slivers, I don't think we know we share abilities yet.

I was hoping that eventual with the human's help we can replace the Grim as the alpha predators and control most of the land space.

How about we don't fight a war with humanity but lock down spaceflight and colonize the shattered moon. let's replace cats and dogs and aerospace engineering.

It's worth noting that, considering his timing, he almost certainly knows we were doing something, even if he doesn't actually know what.

I think that terraforming is a bit beyond us. Also, the moon is kinda broken.
