S153 Recap: Dust To Dust | Ep96: Kirin Gets Chewed Out

General Summary

Does this session deserve a higher effort recap? Perhaps. But it's two weeks late and I'm still In A State™ so it gets a speedrun just like the next one is gonna get > #ThemsTheBreaksKid > First things first, Kirin asks Caspadin's eidolon if he's alright as they approach the gates but she is too shaken up from the whole inkcat kerfuffle and #BadCrits her Insight > #CritCount1 > Okay gang, everybody line up so you can take your turn to interact with the incredibly ominous gates! Isati you're up first and your religion/vibe check lets you know that this gate is just a #PoorLittleMeowMeowTωT > That is totally 100% what you learned and I'm not at all simplifying what I actually said to the point of being unrecognizable. > #NotAtAll >Aight Kirin you're up next! (Nova you're on deck) > Kirin: “I'm going to be cautious and use my mage hand” > *The Mage Hand Dispells Upon Contact With The Silver Gates* > Kirin: “Seems safe enough!” > *Presses Entire Forehead To The Gates* > #MakingDecisions™ > Kirin then probes the gates for tales of dead heroes which in turn triggers The Burden™ as both her and Nova experience the lives and deaths of thousands if not millions of heroes ☺ >> #Don'tWorryGang!TheseAre*Thematic*Choices #ThatMakesItOkay > Serenas & Romad: “IT DOES NOT MAKE IT OKAY!!!” > #TeamLoverboys then proceed to completely negate any doubt about them being #DriftCompatible by immediatedly rolling the exact same score on their first try before I even told them that that was what they were trying to do. > (Also before I resolve the #SongbowsSynchroMoment, I should mention that Nova mostly breezed through their Burden™ checks but just as they were about to #BadCrit the final CON save The Shadowcat used up its last interference remaining from the inkcat debacle to #Vert20 it instead >:3 (#CritCount2) > “I'm Not Sure You're Going To Find This To Be A Blessing” > OKAY BACK TO SONGBOWS SYNCHRO MOMENT!! > They throw the gates open because they wanna go home thank you very much. The Gates don't lead home– but it's understandable how they may have come to that conclusion. > #ThereWasInFactAnExitSignOnIt > Anybrexits, the gates once again become a vacuum but only for spiritual bodies so y'all corporeal bitches are safe— #CaspaTheFriendlyGhost however... > #YaYEET #AlsoTheFallenExileHasLeftTheBirdAtThisPointButWeFigureThatOutLater > SIKE! The other Caspadin snaps that puppy up by his scruff and walks him back into the yard lmao. He also closes the gates behind him which is a lil rude considering all the effort #Songbows put into opening it but go off I guess > Yeah so anyways, the trio of rianan polyqueers are having many a tear and conversation, yadda yadda I missed you, yadda yadda agreed to be a grim for the extent of your lifespans, yadda yadda knowing looks to Isati, yadda yadd Kirin got a #GoodCrit insight check again, yadda yadda “give my sword to my mother”, yadda yadda you've got a pouch of dirt. > #GodsYouDramaGaysTalkTooMuch #SMDH #CritCount3, #BadCrits1, #GoodCrits2, #FinalCritCount > Nova has been just #SpeakingNames in the background the entire time but they're pulling out of it now which is good > #JustInTimeToGoHome > OKAY WE THROW THE DIRT AT THE GROUND, PRAY TO GO HOME, AND WE EXIT DAEDALOS > #FINALLY > Kirin upon returning to Gaea immediately is set upon by a very angry–concerned Pethea who begins systematically chewing into Kirin over her recent life choices. Isati sees one of the rare opportunities she gets to be a lil shit and pounces on it > Isati: “Would it help if I mentioned that Kirin managed to get taken over by her inkcat while we were there?” > Kirin: “Why wou—“ Pethea: “OH DID SHE‽‽‽ LOVELY.” > Anyways yeah, a majority of the rest of this session is just angsty stuff but it's Very Important to know that Serenas checked in with Horse-Faelyn who apparently broke a stablehand's rib trying to rely what Serenas told her to Aona > #HeShouldaKnownBetter #SheWillNotBeAcceptingAnyPunishmentsForThis > Serenas is also too tired to bother having this conversation by thoughts only so he is just talking his half of the conversation out loud for the rest of the party to hear lol > We make it home, a second chewing out is cut short by seeing the emotional state of the Kirin AND THAT'S ALL FOLKS! (I may or may not release the next recap before session but we shall see)
