S36 Recap: Nova Gets An Intervention

General Summary

Kirin asks Isati to come help her with some guild business she needs to attend to > Isati: “Of Course!” > #HelpIsTheMagicWord > The least chaotic duo then confirms their status as such by navigating Zona Rosa like it's nothing > #NoLostGirls #Yet! > Kirin and Isati wait in line and take in all the bustle and bureaucracy > The DM then skips a fuck ton of said bureaucracy because I torture myself with how much of it I include already > Bureaucracy complete, the girls get to enjoy the best perk of Kirin's job, a magical deep clean > #FluffThatFloof > Also Isati gets the wonderful surprise of being shown the priceless historical artifact that Kirin has been charged with delivering to Lantern > A woven tapestry depicting Athena's creation of the first lepidots! Most prominently the Bombyx twins! > Isati: “#SpecialInterestActivated'' > Now... Where did we leave off with the others? :thinking: > Oh! Right! > Nova: “I got stabbed. It wasn't a big deal.” > Everybody else: “YOU GOT STABBED!? > (The reactions than diverge.) > Corayas (Experiencing what he's put his own parents through on multiple occasions): “We need to go! You need rest! And to be healed!” > Romad (Dad instincts kicking in): “No Big Deal?? Nova I need you to understand that getting stabbed is not a normal thing to have happen to you. You get that right? Right??? Please tell me you understand getting stabbed is in fact 'a big deal'.“ > Serenas: “What the fuck were you doing that you got stabbed??” > All Great Questions! > Nova responds in turn but also reminds the other three that they should maybe not yell in a library while a random pigeon points out that this is quite possibly the lowest amount of damage any of you have taken in game up to this point.> The mage lady also takes this opportunity to add in her own two cents and the Party takes that opportunity to finally ask for her name > (It's Xiuhcoatl btw) > The party decides Nova isn't allowed to go places alone and decide on a rota for the #NovaProtectionSquad > Also they end up leaving anyways cause now it feels awkward... > The “Lived Under A Rock” duo take off for the university campus after successfully overcoming some social anxiety to ask for directions > Nova is informed of the existence of tacos and gets some good vibes from the statues in front of the library > #LittleLionBlood > Back at the guild Kirin and Isati talk patrons and pasts > Isati: “Oh I'm not an adventurer.” | Kirin: “So you traveled across the world in order to help someone you'd only just met but you're not an adventurer?” | Isati: “Correct.” > #HelpIsTheMagicWord > Also Kirin overhears about a den of snake monsters and decides that's their problem now. Isati has no problem with this, after all... > #HelpIsTheMagicWord > Finally the loverboys pick a random shop and Romad refuses to let Serenas leave until he can buy him something > The store in question? PUNK. > #WhereverTheFuckYouAre #SerenasGetsPunk'd > After some light DM dying over baby-punk suggestions, Serenas gets some archery bracers while Romad nabs some spikes and a pair of stompers > And that's where we'll pick up next week!
