S172 Recap: Newno {New Juno} | Ep115: A Normal, Completely Regular, Simple, Harmless Juno

General Summary

Y'know how we just killed Juno? WELL LIES!! THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET CUZ WE'RE BACK IN POINT VOLTA WITH ISATI!!! > #WeirdSoup #FromTheCliffWeMustHangLongerStill > So there she was BBQ sauce all over her tiddies, expecting to greet fellow worshippers— only to be worshipped herself… > #TotallyCalm #TotallyNormal #TotallyNotAnAdventurer > Isati (Actively Scheduling A Mental Breakdown For Not Right Now): “Oh look, a dramatic girlfriend in need of attention! I must away!” > #DivaDuty #TotallyCalm #TotallyNormal #TotallyNotAnAdventurer > Speaking of totally normal things, Isati notices a bright green butterfly. In the middle of the ocean. Alone. And also it's leading her to a secluded location away from prying eyes & ears. > #TotallyCalm #TotallyNormal #TotallyNotADragonInDisguise > Anywaves, Diva is only mildly disappointed when the reason her girlfriend dragged her to an abandoned alley turned out to be because her friend, the nameless son of Monevous, was here to report on his mother (derogatory) > We now take a moment to give a completely irrelevant PSA on the dragon's familial word choices. Namely that “Mother” exclusively is used derogatorily and thus usually in reference to Leimnah. However, his pride does not allow him to use diminutive forms of the word for his other parent Monevous so he instead elects to first name her in common. (Draconic has specific words for “parent(mother) who is worthy of respect” and “parent(mother) who I would gladly inherit the horde of in entirety”— the latter being incredibly disrespectful as it effectively conveys that they would kill their parent if they could and take their horde.) > #PSAsThatWereTotallyNeeded > So anywaiting, his report states that his mother was incredibly bored the first month you were out of her reach (#That'sBad) but has since become Very Patient™ (#That'sWorse) so they would do to expect “Entertainment” the next time they're in a particularly verdant locale > #RuhRohShaggy > Oh yeah also Gwyf is the chosen of Psykhe and also Isati's friend just might have an idea of what else is up with him but won't say until he's certain as knowledge of it would make Gwyf even more insufferable > #TheLittleBrotherWay #TotallyUncalm #TotallyAbnormal #TotallyNotAnAverageNineYearOld > Anyways, Isati's friend then politely excuses himself from the sanctum of magical privacy he made at the start of this conversation because he fucking hates that there are this many gods nearby and if he has to spend another second here he's going to exceed the protections of the #DiplomaticImmunity dragons have against the gods and get himself smote. > “So hey Diva… Now that we're alone in this private sanct— > #FadeToBlack > SO Y'KNOW HOW WE JUST KILLED JUNO???? > #FlashbackIsOverNowLmao #FromTheCliffWeArePulled #OrDropped #TakeYourPick > Mild confusion on who the corpse of Juno was tossed to aside, Romad is STILL #GoingThroughIt (Nat 1 save against normalcy), Isati sees this and is postponing her own mental breakdown to help with Romad & Nova's, Gwyf is GONNA touch the body no matter WHAT Kirin says (Nat20 stubbornness), and also yeah that's not actually a real corpse. It's got a normal object soul instead of a death-soul butterfly (which Juno wouldn't even have had enough time since dying for it to be integrated in her yet) so like yeah. > #LikeHalfOfThatWasLearnedFromTheLepidotPublicEducationSystemLol > Also upon hearing that it wasn't even Juno's real corpse, Serenas *immediately* goes to more thoroughly investigate it but is told off by Kirin > #NobodyOnThisBoatRideHasLostTheirFilterMoreThanSerenasHas > “Okay well we need to get out of the way of the crew so shove her corpse in a barrel and go wait until tomorrow to see if she returns like Kohkii said she would. > Serenas does however take this opportunity to ask Captain Barley why Juno dying isn't a big deal > “Basically she's what people back home—“ (in the city of coded slang where barely anything means what it sounds like) “—would call a kept woman.” > (TL;DR: the literal definition is an exclusive Sexworker but who the fuck knows what the Tamu definition is) > Basically, they're nonchalant because The Cosmonaughts are just #LikeThat™ and she came back just fine last time so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ > Oh also Isati takes Romad aside after dinner to have the #I'mNotMadI'mJustDisappointed conversation with him about the inherently evil soul rending he's been doing and how that's been (cosmically, ethically, and quite literally) weighing on her soul. They have some back and forth about the necessity of and the motivations behind his use of it, discuss alternatives, and then Isati shows Romad some star guidance to help him experience the effects his actions have on Isati. > #GuidanceOfTheStars #DopeSeerShit > Hey who the fuck is this little watery tart claiming to be Juno?? She looks nothing like her (aside from also being a cephalokin) and she is the most unconvincing liar of all time like damn > #PressXToDoubt #X > Kirin however, using her uniquely applicable set of skills determines that not only is this new faced woman the same Juno as before and not just an imposter with all her stuff, it turns out she wasn't even lying about her name being Juno when you first met her like everybody thought! > #TwasTheCurse #BothThenAndNow > ALSO! Burden Check Time :3 > Sucess, Fail, CritFail (Isati: Fuck that actually, here's a luck point) still a fail but minimal longterm consequences > #NothingWrongWithALilType2CatatonicsHere&Again > Meanwhile Romad is once again #BadCritting his emotions and so fails to stop Newno (New Juno) from full force lick-tackling the catatonic Nova > #ThisTooIsNyova > Luckily Serenas is there to catch the little bastard woman by the neck and hold her there despite her pitiful efforts (Nat1 Escape attempt). > #ThisIsIncrediblyRude > Oh yeah so anytruespeech, turns out that the word that triggered The Burden™ was actually the water on Juno and not la creatura herself. The reason the water is at all notable is cuz it's apparently the fucking holy water of the #WorldEncirclingRiver Okeanos???? > #Wild > Yeah so turns out Juno appears at the location she died at and had to charter an interplanar shortcut through the currents of the origin of all fresh water. > #JustJunoThings > Kirin notes that this is inadvisable but recognizes (and is loudly reminded by her girlfriend) that she has absolutely no fucking room to judge. > So anyways Nova #Goodcrit that knowledge check leaving us with the only other crit technically being after the session ended (Isati purifying her corruption points) so that leaves us with > #CritCount6, #GoodCrits3, #BadCrits3, #FinalCritCount > Anyways That's All Folks! See ya next week for Isati's freshly rescheduled mental breakdown and Kirin crossing over into Romad's nightmare to hunt down her madness beast! (And Also Our Arrival In Chasla >:3)
