[X] Retreat
Thank you! It was honestly really relieving to see this, since I was really worried about this update being weaker than the first few, so that was like, maybe I didn't need to agonize over it so much ^^;I haven't been up to saying much the last couple days, but I really need to say this anyways: The fight scene this update was really damn cool. It's especially cool that our protagonist thinks way faster than she fights, and the speed she fights at is way faster than humans do.
Very generic army men here. I suppose Katie is a known outlier, but I assumed the future would be more... futuristic.Mook_1 Armor: Grey Camo Fatigues, Black Ballistic Vest, Black Ballistic Skirt. Grey Tactical Helmet with Tinted Visor, Black Gas Mask.
This is interesting. Can all androids do this?
If anything happens to her...

I must admit, this scene brought my interest up considerably. Whether it is strictly "magic" or not, or a sufficiently science fiction equivalent, either way it speaks to more interesting concepts on the horizon, that I hope will be explored more in due time.Error Detected: Memory Encoding Partially Compromised

Also interesting that she seemed least-affected by this at first, but moreso over time while the humans are recovering.
I'm trying to sorta ride the line between Cool Futuristic Craziness and still being relatively grounded, and this is a case where Generic Army Men are still just kinda the most practical or efficient way of having an army. Though there is probably some more dramatic stuff waiting in the wings. >: 3Very generic army men here. I suppose Katie is a known outlier, but I assumed the future would be more... futuristic.
The shock absorbers in their arms and legs are a standard feature for all androids. (Typically the ones in the legs are unlocked and in the arms are locked, by default, but the option to switch that quickly as needed is available for actions like kicking or catching a fall.)
Ah, the dizziness was actually more from being pulled along so quickly by KT, not because of the eldritch flashbang. I was trying to inject some levity (imagined her with cartoonish spiral eyes and stars whirling around her head lol) but I guess it didn't quite land ^.^;Also interesting that she seemed least-affected by this at first, but moreso over time while the humans are recovering.
Sorry about the silence lately, my own machine is showing its age and making getting much of anything done, much less writing, a massive pain in the ass. Gonna try and squeeze in what progress I can, but until I can fix up what's wrong or finish transferring over to the replacement computer, things are gonna be a bit slow yet.
Thank you! Fingers crossed that this won't take too long ^^;Glad to hear from you! I hope everything will be OK and wishing you the best!
Thank you! I'm glad it plays well despite the initial adjustment, makes keeping that approach up feel more worth it. ^w^ And yeah, I'm having fun dripping in the worldbuilding and hints about KT's backstory - even if I'm not going out of my way to hide stuff, it is the sort of thing that I kinda have to take care to pace out decently, lol.a very cool story so far! (intrigued by all the extra hardware options from the error report...) the specific format is an initial hard adjustment but definitely rewards going back once you've gotten a better grip on it. the hints of worldbuilding and the way the processes showcase emotional reactions are really striking! (I definitely see how the format might be more trouble than its worth for some types of scenes)
The woman and the airplane should date one another; they deserve better than this.Seeing Jason dig himself deeper trying to balance dating both Vicky and Skybus479-K
You and Voice are on the same page on this, she'd write fanfic with this premise if she were more confident in her writing ability.The woman and the airplane should date one another; they deserve better than this.
It really does ><;Glad to hear that words are coming through again! Writers block stinks.
This was a very fun change of pace! It's always neat to get a window into a character that we don't usually, and perhaps especially so given how forfeit the format is. Getting some insight into what sort of stuff the eldritch aspect of the characters can do is very tantalizing.
Also, I really love the music!
