S170 Recap: Point Volta | Ep113: Tongue For Bone

General Summary

Heyo! Man, docking this boat took fucking MONTHS > #HappyEndOfHiatus #WeirdSoup? #Kinda? > Anysleep–away–camps, the lot of you roll some religion to recognize the absolute PLETHORA of sea gods and spirits expectantly awaiting the arrival of the one! The Only!! ♡Patty Darling♡!!! > #SheDeservesEverythingThatIsGoodInThisWorld #HeartthrobOfTheHighSeas > Romad sees HIS goddess and immediately stops caring about ANY of the others > #BadCrit #CritCount1 > Nova recognizes a few but upon seeing Aphrodite starts trying to shrink into a sea anemone out of embarrassment. Romad sees this and grabs Nova's hand to stop any such #Anemonization > #Carcinization'sLeastWellKnownCousin > Romad: “Aphrodite loves you!” > Nova: “Yeah, but I summoned her one and a half times!!” > #TrueButSoDidScribius #AndHe'sNotGettingAnyGriefForIt > On the other end of the spectrum from his fiance, Serenas is once again on his #GoodCritGrind, recognizing literally every single entity present > #CritCount2 > He is not however translating this religious acumen into perhaps what could be considered proper reverence for the gods— luckily they were in a good mood thanks to Patty and were not inclined to smite him on the spot in that moment ☺ > #Let'sTryNotToBlasphemeGang > Serenas: “Note To Self: Listing all the gods that came to see her is not an appropriate way to brag to my parents about ♡Patty Darling♡.” > #LessonLearned (Was it the right lesson? Who's to say. But he learned it & that's what matters!) > Okay but with that out of the way we take a quick aside to note that Riddles is in fact also wanted by the law in Point Volta much like across the southern seaboard of Geb. Riddles solution to this is in fact to drink a shrinking potion and jump in the sea where he will presumably find some other way onto the seluchin top city district. > #ObjectivelyFunnyCrimesShouldn'tBeIllegal #WeHaveNoProofItWasFunnyThoLol > #TeamRogues&Regretti also tries their luck at extracting info from Juno on psionic items that would allow Kirin to get Tiano's help with her codebreaking. The dice roll ever in their favour but in the process they learn far more about Tiano then they really feel entitled to know lol (such as his badly hidden #DownBad crush on Juno herself, who knows but is pretending not to while teasing them relentlessly about it) > #CurseOfFilterlessFlyttings #WeSupportTiano'sBadDecisions > Isati meanwhile is holding hands with Patty and walking into the crowd of palpably ancient & powerful beings and efficiently compartmentalizing #TheImplications™ of all of them knowing exactly who she is, full naming (With Title!) her every time she is addressed by them, and also Aphrodite herself making a Crystal Clear claim of Isati being HER oracle. > #CoolCoolCool #TightTightTight > Isati is also compartmentalizing the reactions that many of the kindred worshippers in the onlooking crowd are having to her title and interactions with the gods. > #CoolCoolCool #TightTightTight #SoTotallyJustaNormalPersonY'all #NothingAdventurer™ToSeeHereFolks > Gwyf is ALSO getting suspicious amounts of attention from the gods & spirits (Specifically some dissatisfaction from Aphrodite???) > #TheFuck'sUpWithThat‽‽‽ > Also Gwyf has finally borne witness to the limits of his 9 year old self— Schmoozing With The Gods. > #Lol #LmaoEven > Diva meanwhile has been seething and scheming about how to steal the attention away from Patty without getting smote about it. > #DivaIsn'tJustaBitch #She'sTheBitch > Seeing this however, Kirin expertly diverts her into #PoorBabyMode, saving her girlfriend from the kinds of #Women'sWrongs™ that would result in one less woman committing sexy sexy wrongs on this bitch of an earth > #EverybodySay”ThankYouKirin” #DivaRavepitApologists > Having finally escaped the dockyard; Serenas, Romad, Nova, Kirin, and the ever so pitiful Diva go to explore the many stores and markets of Point Volta. As is predictable for these foodie fucks, they begin their exploration with a search for food they can safely eat. This starts out more difficult than it needs to be as we take a nyoink to fully remember & comprehend the fact that we're level 11 and food poisoning ain't got shit on us. > "Congratulations! You've now eaten panda meat!" > #CourtesyOfTheChimesOfThaumus #NoFurtherContextWillBeProvided > Okay now that we've got the foodie shit and some sewing supplies out of the way, let's go shopping for what we Really came here for: BONES!!! > Insert B99Bone.gif > Romad (About To Barter The Baddest Bitch Bargain To Ever Be Bartered): “I've got a creepy mask—“ (cue an impressed but still composed merchant accepting the mask in exchange for a sizable splinter of a leviathan bone) “—and also I've got this human tongue?” > “A HUMAN TONGUE!!!” (cue every bone merchant in a 100 meter radius falling over themselves to outbid their competitors for the tongue) > #TonguesAreGoodForEating #TakeThatHowYouWill > Also there was a #GoodCritInsightCheck in there so #CritCount3, #GoodCrits2, #BadCrits1, #FinalCritCount > Romad (Walking away from the market with a leviathan bone, weird magical bonecharm listening device, and an assortment of random bones): “>:3”, (also Kirin buys her own psionic spy device successfully) > Last but most certainly not least we on our way back find Bilgerat actually winning for once as he gambles in faerie games. Luckily this seems not to be the day he loses his name to the fae for the 28th Time (#Allegedly #That'sTheLowballGuess) > #WeDon'tAlwaysSupportBilgerat'sBadDecisions (#ExceptMoth) #ButWeAreFascinatedByThem > #AlrightThat'sAllFolks!!!
