So uh. A very important thing happened everyone should go see. EDIT: https://i.imgur.com/ksDTwZA.png red circle = affected area
also people besides Colin and Nathaniel can tag in, if they are nearby
gj guys
y'all are luck crona's complely out right now because paranoia+crona=so many murders. like in the bog.
. . . 
So um, where exactly on the map is this 100 meter radius thing going out from?
Radio tower is by the onsen
so it shouldn't be too close to too many people
...oh wait no the hospital is right there
sorry I'm a derp, about how far from it does it extend??
DISREGARD THAT people in the hospital would feel it
like, the furthest buildings
though. not as strong since hospital is riiiiight at the border
.... yall are really lucky crona's out right now
hospital, onsen, and training building would be affected
though in varying levels because it gets weaker as it goes out
Colin and Nathaniel are getting the worst of it
Oops... 
in order of severity, it would go radio tower, onsen, training building, north wing of hospital, south wing of hospital
not that Ibuki's in range but out of random curiousity, when you say "locked up paranoia", does that include stuff artificially locked up? XD;;;
welp I think we may have an impending bunny massacre
I. hmm.
Yeah, I just went and looked at the thing and it looks like the entire Training building's inside the radius...
I would say Ibuki would feel the paranoia without knowing why?
like, she is SO AFRAID OF DYING AND A THING but not remembering why
hmmmm... not quite the same thing but would it affect feelings of despair???
/went and drew in the radius just to see the AoE, so... yeah
OH then yeah it wouldn't quite hit the hospital
thank you for that |D
"THIS. THIS IS WHY I TEST THIS SHIT."
lol
thank you Colin for testing it on a smaller thing
thank u colin
good idea Colin it could have been a lot worse
Yeah, it's just touching the outer borders of the onsen and the hospital, so it shouldn't be too bad...
Anyone who's in the training building is FUCKED, though. XD
....so. Ippo and Takamura?
Wrong training building
OH
There's a gym they use
that's the training building with the weapons
oh so whoever is in there has weapons beautiful
(By the way. This is TOTALLY not doing anything to prove to Colin that his paranoia is misplaced.)
Zuko hangs out there sometimes but she has important mommy dragon duties this day
. . . uh. Hope no one's in there with any sharp pointy objects around them...
... do we just have hyperparanoid colin
MR SEPHIROTH
is
he going to do something drastic, can Zuko throw him off the Bastion?
The problem is figuring out how to manifest Colin's fears. XD
y'know, for the greater good
noooooooooooooooo
He'll just come back, Zuko.
Besides, you have to get to ground Zero, first. 
but will he land well
yeah rescuing these two idiots will be the hard part
there a sniper in the house? XD
....Well
Helmsman could try
Yukio also springs to mind...
Realistically, Colin's first instinct is to shoot the damn radio. XD But let's try and stretch this out a little longer before that happens...
Paranoia is a powerful thing, after all...
Oh gods, it's really good that it didn't get the hospital or Ghaleon would go Magic Emperor all over again, ahahahaha
Nobody wants the healer going rogue. XD
...why do I get the feeling that the mods were hoping this Dark Core would get installed in the Monument without being tested?
Evil from mods? Say it ain't so!
can you imagine what would have happened then. that would have been fantastic
Um
...
That. Might be a problem.
/quietly stares at Otoha
Where's Otoha? o.O
He wanders but he does practice a lot.
... in the training hall.
ffffff
W-well how good is his willpower??????
does someone have to step on you, otoha
... welp
It's. It's not great.
... welp
really welp
I'm just really glad that a - Ryu didn't get hit and b - Otoha can't transform right now.
Well, uh
Megaera should be affected, given Hospital. And given her very specific fears....
This'll be fun
hospital isn't actually in the blast zone according to the radius moro drew out though
and yeah, it's not
unless Meg is in like. the broom closet at the end of the northern hall
maybe editing map into the top plurk would be good o:
So she doesn't freak out and out herself as a Succubus yet. Yay. XD
while we're all gathered here by the way: can i toss aoi into the thread where zulf is yelling at the kids because aoi will yell back 8'|
did the thing o/
everyone can go into the Zulf thread for the record
i was wondering that too. there isn't a scale on the map
Yeah, I didn't draw it to any particular scale
I worked under the assumption that one pixel on the picture was equal to one meter.
Using that and the information of the 100-m radius, I drew a circle 200 px by 200 px, and centered the crosshairs of the resultant box over the radio tower.
I see where you came up with that but I wouldn't go with that assumption, especially now that we know the map wasn't drawn to scale
What's the scale, then? So I can adjust for it accordingly. 
I'm... assuming GoggleDragon made the map, that's the impression I just got from their statement up there where they said they didn't draw it to any particular scale
Admittedly I could be confused since I'm tired
I did make it, yes, but I never set any particular scale.
So if people want, you can totally include the hospital in that AoE for maximum Fun
That could work. I went and double-checked using the houses in the southwest quadrant as reference.
Using an average house length of 100 ft = 30.5 m, I redrew the circle and it came out to be much smaller than the red circle I drew on the map. :|;
ah well, it works
Either way, considering how close the hospital is, I would imagine it to not be much of a stretch to assume that the strongest effect is within the red circle, with it lessening by degree the farther out it is.
just a small area to cause trouble in
So yeah.
yeah, pretty much
Also don't apologize, hydok, considering my studies are in civil engineering and land surveying I can see where you're coming from...
- actually even if it did include the hospital Ryu's already used his transformation for the day so.
Even average house size doesn't matter because the houses aren't to scale. The map's just a general idea of position.
pretty much that too
MOD HAMMER TIME the training hall is affected, and the very edges of the onsen and the hospital are touched by it
The approximation is nice! I actually couldn't find the tower even when I was looking for it until there was a giant red circle around it!
Question! How old are the Ura blunder twins?
... approximately.
ura blunder twins
lmfao
later teens
Look what else am I going to call them.
17-18-ish
Ah okay so definitely old enough to be adults in Ryu's eyes. :T
... medieval periods were rougher okay
does this mean aoi is also an adult
Oh my gosh they're pretty much adults in the eyes of like every shonen anime
pretty much
they're probably adults in their own culture even
Aoi you know Zuko thinks you're an adult. they're both old enough to get married
. . .
Does that mean we'll see a wedding in Bastion in the future.
???
it depends on how long the game goes on I suppose
well they've already got their amulets of mara..
we already have like five established couples, not including NPCs
yep
That we do.
soon to be six
and if we include NPCs that number jumps up to eight, possibly nine
they DO INDEED have marriage amulets but aoi is not ready for MARRIAGE oh my god she can barely grasp the mere concept of a relationship as-is
as far as aoi is concerned she woke up next to a donut tree with a pretty necklace and she just fuckin rolled with it
Zuko was supposed to tell her what it meant
but she probably just said "oh it's from Paarthurnax 
"
"
omfg
AW SWEETIE.......
So wait the baby dragon is Aoi and Paar's babby then?!? /shot
sdfasdfk
aoi thanks paarthurnax profusely for the "pretty friendship necklaces," wears hers everywhere all the time; everyone looks at how goddamn fucking oblivious she is and goes "how. how"
also Aoi Ryu is sorry
but this is Important
YOU CAN TALK IN YOUR CHAIR
THEN BRING OVER A CHAIR
aoiplz
Hahahaha
... also is this when Aoi finds out Ryu is a god
or half of one
"aoi you were princess carrying a demigod up and and down the hospital ten minutes ago; how do you feel" "I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME MORE PROBLEMS OVER HERE IF HE DOESN'T SIT BACK DOWN!!!!!!"
lsdkfsdf
i'm so sorry colin
Don't worry. XD
As I've said... he's slashing/stabbing resistant. He can take a fair amount of abuse.
And Otoha can't feel pain so this'll be interesting.
(Doesn't mean he'll be HAPPY about it, but still.)
Mind you, if he feels there's too much danger, he'll whip out the crowd control grenade. XD
xD
Which will be... unpleasant for both of them.
I was going to have him suspicious of him because of his father but then I realized that Eko worked better since his minions are... demons who are enhanced with machinery...
... who take human form.
XD!!
where's that slowclap emote
that his sword, or one he's borrowed?
His.
moro_kun: Yes thank you
But yeah the sword is abnormally sharp just fyi
oh excellent
o7 I live to serve.
there you go
...
Oh, Nathan...
at least they're close to the hospital?
hopefully someone saved someof their healing
You're pressing just the right buttons, kiddo. XD
...
Unfortunately Otoha gives 0 shits about Nathan
hey, he's still got the radio in his hand too
someone could. shoot it or stab it and break it or something
Fortunately, even though Colin doesn't particularly LIKE him right now, he doesn't wanna see harm come to him. So... Colin will try to protect him. Kinda.
...
... what
Though, yeah. Now, the crowd control grenade his coming out. XD
Sob
WEH, NATHAN
What does said grenade do, exactly?
They're called B&R grenades.
They stand for "Barf and Run"
uhhh
Oh, it gets better.
"Run" doesn't stand for making people run.
It applies to runniness as a... ah... condition. :3
...
what is the mechanism of action aka how does the poopy start
It's a neurotoxin.
... huh.
... now the question is does he have enough shame to stop if that happens
... If Otoha can keep swinging a sword accurately while expelling from both ends... well, I will have to applaud him.
no one said accurately but he did try to take down a giant monster after getting impaled with extreme prejudice, losing an arm, and getting bits of his own sword lodged in his eyes
so yeah
inquiries: is this shit (HUEHUEHUEHUE) happening concurrently to yellapalooza 2k15, and is yellapalooza 2k15 happening within the range of feelings bullshitfest (HUEHUEHEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE)
Almost certainly.
/beams at Aoi
god dammit
to both?
that's going to be bad
because if both yellapalooza is going to turn to weepapalooza real fast
Well, the fighting is going on at the same time, but the hospital is just out of range of the feelings bullshit field.
aw okay
i thought mandy amended that part of one wing was affected?
But hey, Ryu. If you guys notice it, Colin's fighting a dude with a sword right now.
"the very edges of the onsen and the hospital are touched by it" yeah so it's where are these edges, is yelling happening in this particular edge
yelling and pooping are happening at the same time
IM FUCKNIGK
I would feel bad intervening because of muncest
SCREMAING
AT THE OWRDS "YELLING AND POOPING ARE HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME"
actually you could say that the yelling is happening because of fear waves but they're so diluted it doesn't completely overtake them, just set the on edge?
I'M SITTING HERE CONVULSING WITH LAUGHTER AND WEEPING
WHAT
Ryu's gonna injure himself more gj
YLELING AND POOPING IS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME
IT IS AN ACCURATE SUMMARY OF THE THREADS
IT JUST. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOST UNFROTUNATE BOWEL MOVEMENT ONE COULD EVER HAD
HAVE
Courtney why are you not on AIM we need to shriek together
Do I, do I...
YELLING AND POOPING ARE HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. I WOULD SEE A DOCTOR ABOU T THAT
anyway i will take diluted fear waves
aoi'd be yelling anyway but fear waves'll probably just make her cry tbh
... Colin, you clever bastard. XD
MAY NOT WORK, BUT IF IT DOES, IT'LL BE GLORIOUS.
what
He's going to lob the grenade gently at Otoha's face.
he just can't poop in peace
are you referring to screaming & sobbing or yelling & pooping
Every swordsman he knows would react by cutting it down. If he DOES... Otoha may get the concentrated blast of neurotoxin. ... And if he doesn't, it'll just get them all.
"He's going to lob the grenade gently at Otoha's face."
Nathaniel does not appreciate your poop grenades, Colin
fckflfg;hfg
He doesn't have to appreciate it. He just has to live.
zulf pooping and screaming and sobbing. the bastcast house learns to deal
... What is Zulf's life?
yes but what if he continues to attempt to kill you colin
what then
I just want you to realize, J
that eventually other people are going to find them
all three of them
with shitty pants
and vomitting
and weapons out
Colin has no shame. And he knew this was a possibility.
really the only way to stop him is to knock him out cold. probably.
Otoha also has no shame!
...
What is Nathan's life?
Insanity.
WELL IT'S A GOOD THING OTOHA HAS NO SHAME NATHANIEL CAN CERTAINLY HAVE ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE
god. poor, poor nate
also Otoha is probably going to have to buy some more trench coats thanks Colin
....
to. cover the poop stains?
once everyone's done yelling at each other in the hospital they're gonna come outside and take a look at this and it's just gonna be like
and/or blood
opens door
stares
closes door
yep
doesn't come back out
ghaleon just. sits down right there on the floor
...
just takes a goddamn seat and puts his face in his hands
So you're saying.
He's going to open the door.
Get on the floor.
FCK
Tobias staring at this in the distance going 'what'
NO
Guardian Bear J
will
he walk the dinosaur?
DON'T YOU DAR
goddammit J
You set me up perfectly. I couldn't NOT.
i did.
EVERYONE WALK THE DINOSAUR
NO
are you sure it's going to make him more manageable
are you not sure that it's just going to make him madder
i might put meg's tag in the hospital yellfest thread since it's happening at the same time as this
Colin why are you throwing your gun
Because he needs to trigger a deflection reaction and clear his hands. XD
Accurately chucking a grenade, sadly, requires open hands.
.......so Colin and Nathnaiel are going to get hit by that grenade too right?
Probably, though depending on Otoha's reaction, he might get the worst of it.
And Colin will try to drag Nathan clear. ... Operative words = "Try"
So um.
How sturdy is Colin?
You won't cut through him immediately even if you have a chainsaw. ... He can't take a PROLONGED attack, but he can take a quick bit of bursty abuse.
oh my god this is a fucking disaster
(And you really don't want him fighting back right now. Otoha may be able to fight through it... but Colin's had PRACTICE in fighting through it.)
Isn't it just?
Have fun with that tag
Poor Nathan.
oh my god
by the way now would be a good time for outside interference
to. prevent deaths since this is a permadeath game and all
Yes, it really would. ... Preferably LONG RANGE interference.
Yes
just throw a net on all of them or something
ropes + katana = ??? though???
someone just knock him out
he won't feel the pain but his brain will still go "ok sleepy"
actually Meg could knock them all out long-range
do it
NekoIncardine want to do the thing?
Though she might be kind of compromised right now...
So yeah. Colin is definitely going to think this is saboteur bullshit. ... And let's be fair. So far, it seems to be the most effective bit of it we've seen yet. XD
husbando: Need to check what spells, but yeah if she gets moving in that direction, she can and will try to force the situation down because these are all people she recognizes
Good news is, unless someone "obviously demonic" (i.e. Not Rin, he's clearly a devil by her standards) walks into the situation, she'll stick to nonlethal. XD
welp
Ummmm well Otoha's soul isn't in his body so technically he's a lich?
Is he still more or less human besides that?
and could Megaera even sense that?
god. this is a fucking wreck
i love it
atrypical: Not a demon, not her job or highly trained reflexes. <3
She's very specifc in her hatreds. XD
Okay!
Permission to try Suggestion on Otoha? Depending on how alive or not Otoha is, it may fail (Undead are immune to mind-affecting abilities)
- sorry I got distracted. Go for it.
See, this kind of thing is exactly why Ghaleon hasn't used any of his spells yet.
Er, the two uses he has left, that is. He may go get a tonic or five from the distillery if things go too sideways. Regardless, this is one of those days that make him feel vindicated for being a cynic.
I'm just hoping that someone does calm Otoha down now. XD Colin is officially at the limit of trying to be a good boy.
someone please just knock everyone involved in this hot mess out
knock 'em out, remove them from their own puddles of shit and vomit
draw straws on who has to clean that shit up
and also that vomit
sob
If Colin's feeling better, he'll be... well, he won't be HAPPY to clean it up, but he'll volunteer to.
. . .
IF. Big question of how many cuts Otoha's gonna get on him.
Lemme see if I can find the relevant video...
KARAS episode 4 part 2/3 english sub (HQ) 2:20 - 4:00 in that video.
Blood warning.
Megaera...
Man, someone just needs to shoot out that damn radio already...
yep
Yes. Very quickly. On the bright side, if Megaera just pissed Otoha off, she can actually dodge and block a little bit. XD
Otoha's way out of her league, so not for long, but
On the one hand, dead people. But on the other hand, yelling and shitting people...
decisions, decisions
my god this has certainly been a day
Talk about a literal shit day...
In more ways than one
And whenever someone breaks the damn radio, Megaera's going to freak out again
Because what she's doing right now? This is everything she doesn't want to be seen as
... I hate needing to sleep I want to see more of where this goes
XD The plus side is that Colin's a LOT more resilient than those guys...
Ghaleon may or may not come out get everyone to knock it off because he really doesn't want more patients, and they're... kinda fighting close enough to the hospital that he'd take that as a potential threat
to the ones he already has.
ghaleon marching out like YOU DAMNED KIDS
askjdgaksjdaskjdsad COURTNEY... 
/just has this mental image of Ghaleon walking out with a cane and shaking it at the yelling shitting people like an old man...
QUIT PUKIN' ON MY LAWN
...I'd argue with you about that, but he really would do that.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF
fuck, I'm dying, someone send help
Except he'd have enchanted the cane beforehand to shoot fire or fling lightning or something like that.
This event suddenly kinda turned into a Robot Chicken skit, didn't it? XD;
XD Colin is going to be so pissed when all is said and done.
As he should be.
Both literally and figuratively, even.
Dohohohoho
ah oh okay I see this I am up
.... /steeples fingers
duke won't get involved because turning on baby lizard is too likely, but Moon is a paranoid ass sooo
Oh geez
... and Anna is probably hiding under her bed with her larvesta because psychic game too strong, she's across the bastion and she's picking too much up XD
btw someone has to do something about the radio too
to stop the madness waves
Madness for everybody
I'd love to send Jane to jump in and help but how do 
It might just be too early in the morning for me to think of somrthing
morning is hard
Let's see, the cannery is roughly 150 meters from the radio tower, looks like...any chance that grenade going off could be heard from there?
It was a gas grenade, not an explosive one... Though I suspect the YELLING would probably be audible. Colin's not a quiet sort when he's mad. XD
oh you wacky kids....
And if nothing else... this big cluster-fluffle is happening out in the middle of everything. Probably not too hard to see.
Only the hospital is really obscuring anything.
NekoIncardine
says
So basically just about everyone sees Megaera's true form and her ensuing freak-out when she realizes what she just revealed. I've been looking forward to this for a while now
also ftr whenever you guys are ready for the radio to be taken care of and don't have an idea of how that'll be taken care of, I can always toss in Paar or Helmsman
XD I say wait to see if anyone else wants to jump in, then take out the Radio.
Colin would rather not take a brutal beating that will transform into deep wounds if he can avoid it, pls k thx.
that's what I've been doing 8U
NekoIncardine
says
jchaos: This is one reason I tagged in with Megaera doing something that should either stop or redirect Otoha. But now she's about to go full paranoid freak-out.. Though hers is a bit different.
/nods
It's really gonna depend on Otoha's paranoia, isn't it?
Alright I can have her key into the yelling
Otoha's biggest fears play into being 'useless'. He'll act out the role of a monster if that's the only role given to him, but to do nothing is just unthinkable.
Well, I meant more along the lines of "Who's Otoha's paranoia going to consider the bigger threat?"
OH! /just saw the reply.
Nevermind me. XD
xD
Basically he thinks Megaera is a minion
Megaera would be deeply offended by this statement if she weren't placing higher priority on There Is A Demon Here And It Must Be Slain. Fortunately, she hasn't yet decided it's possessing Otoha or anything
Colin, this is your chance to fix this. :v
Also I figured it would be better if he got away from Nathaniel as he is the squishiest person in the area right now.
Colin's not fixing much of anything at the moment. XD At best, he's going to try and pull Nathan away.
Aren't you glad they tested that core first instead of just tossing it into the monument
As I said, sometimes Colin's paranoia is good for stuff.
(And sometimes it makes everybody poop.)
Though, really, this was Nathan's proper paranoia this time. ... It's good to see that our engineering staff won't just say "GOOD ENOUGH!" and shove things in.
(Sometimes it's both)
NekoIncardine
says
The only good news for Megaera is her physiology is too inhuman for the neurotoxin to work. Then again she's about to start bleeding and that's gonna be interesting to describe
NekoIncardine
says
Man if we'd just tossed this thing into the monument... I'm thinking that would be a Bad End.
NekoIncardine
says
(which leads to the question: who runs the Tiger Dojo?)
Ibuki, obviously
NekoIncardine
says
Floogy: Makes sense
She's a good replacement for Taiga at least, so who gets to replace Ilya?
oh god
Aoi?
NekoIncardine
says
Sounds right to me
haha
Technically, it's an adaptive neuro-toxin for use in Xeno-crowd control, but yeah, not everyone is affected by it. XD But the list of races NOT affected by it is pretty short.
When you're mashing riots, you don't wanna find out that your crowd control is basically useless. XD
yep
(Though, if you're on the cleanup crew AFTER a riot, you'll wish that your riot-mashers didn't use B&R grenades. A whole crowd afflicted with those is NOT a pretty picture...)
who is ilya and why is aoi replacing her what happened
it's from a game where two characters randomly chide/advise the player for making the bad decision(s) that resulted in the game over
and sometimes abuse the MC in the process
or each other
welp
This plurk is getting huge. x_X
Just a little
NekoIncardine
says
Yup
Sorry.
Not your fault. XD
It was a group effort! It's everybody's fault!
We're all terrible!
Yep
Hooray for terribleness!!
Group awfulness, huzzah!
... wanna check that no one is in the middle of responding before I throw Moon into this mess
I THINK you're good? The only person who was saying they'd reply was Jane-mun?
Self-tuning radios. Fun
its weird magic and Moon is probably going to pounce on it
magic was the bane of his existence for like 40 years because magic users always outed him easily
Colin wants that radio smashed yesterday. If he bothered to keep his eyes on it, he'd be smashing it himself.
Go, Moon! Go!
... how big is the radio
because I am imagining Moon landing like a cat, with hands and feet on something barely big enough for him....
tldr paranoid moon jumps on radio.
Hahaha
For extra mental image, picture an angry kitty with furr standing on end.
yes. Only he's a lizard, and he's got a mane of spines going from about his head to nearly his butt and those are standing on end in spikes
XD
Otoha is displeased that he can't transform >|
XD
I have changed my handle in honor of this thread
yeah I figured no one would really take to big lizardman arrival well but at least Moon isn't Stone, who is pretty massive
I'm not sure Otoha has seen a non-mikura demon that large but.
XD Stone is of "one hand easily wraps around almost everyone's torso" size, moon is a third of that, roughly.
sob
Welp. There goes Megaera using her hand for a week or two
Even with tough skin (Natural armor bonus), her hand at that moment being a weapon (claw), and her damage reduction, a direct katana strike would cleave several of the bones in her hand
Actually, probably a good bit longer
fast healing wing for you
it's also an exceptionally sharp katana since it's kind of magic but
let's try to be nice
should we wait for a mod to say what's going on re: radio?
not too big, Nathaniel held it in twohands
.. okay so Moon probably gets his feet into it, because those are disembowling claws
yep
have *
o> anddd the waves are off
they proooobably lasted a few minutes I think
Otoha's like 'welp'
sigh
/pets Otoha some more.
well all of that SURE
JUST
HAPPENED
Yeeeep
yep
Otoha's like "what is your problem"
NekoIncardine
says
Megaera's too busy freaking out because she just revealed her true form and she not only hates that form but is afraid everyone will freak out about her being, well... this
XD Moon will only care if she tries to kill/eat him
Otoha's just like 'whatever'
Removing Megaera from the thread to reduce the crowding, going to write a post for her still freaking out outside. Meaning anyone who heard any of what went on can run into her. XD
