Joysweeper do you want a saturday or a raistlin for need

oh shoot. either way!
I'm thinking about taking alloran around it's just hard to get in the groove mid rotation

i will think about it more

especially since they both have basically the same response to need except they phrase it differently.

to wit: this is bait. incredibly magical sword just don't hang out

hee. Not normally, but when she's got no bearer she doesn't have much choice!
except to compel someone nearby to come pick her up

I will reply to Saturday tomorrow. Brain fried after work.

god i want it to be saturday because saturday has mild kerowyn energies but also the magic sword she's already bonded to would flip

raist is probably the better tag

shes a friendly enough old lady

(bickers telephathically in the corner)

possessive swords!

and who's calling her friendly? Ugh don't say that, people will think she's soft.

lmao I so rarely pick up characters other people particularly know
(I mean people 'know' alloran but he's a pretty minor character as far as actually shown characterization goes) so it's like uh oh if I do it wrong it's gonna be actually noticeable

on the other hand lackey writes strictly in archetypes so how hard can it be?

true

heck i forgot does need have to be in contact with skin in order to "talk" to someone?

or can raist handle her with cloth in case of curses and she can still talk to him when she chooses?

depends on if lackey's forgotten like in the 2019 short story
I think having had direct skin contact might help or be part of it but proximity in general is what's important!

all right

and once she's talked to someone enough she can do it from somewhere out of visual range

raist is from a dnd world so he has a policy of never directly touching unknown magical items

lol this is fair

very intelligent lad

I have gone with the presumption that she has to be in contact to do various psychic things but also that this definition of contact includes "through a scabbard and clothes/armor"

okay done

raistlin sees a very cool magical object and becomes a goblin

His Item Now

I laughed out loud seeing "she's your problem now"

i know need

she would have made sure a male winter court fae noble had an absolutely terrible time

/snickers

also here's toby being paranoid for totally warranted reasons

asddg;fg thats also u... i should have known...

time for saturday's .5 facts about animorphs to come in handy!

"oh god oh fuck were the yeerks good guys or bad ones"

/laughs

she's doing her best

Joysweeper: guts will keep knowledge of her nice side to himself

saturday is gonna come out of these games having never met a yeerk, but hating them as if she had personally encountered them

i remember the spiky forest lads they got fucked over it wasn't fair

hork-bajir are kinda pre-fucked as it is but it got so much worse!
and of course alloran's never told anyone about the genocide thing so uh

hematite she knew she liked him

sometimes you just vibe immediately with a cantankerous old blacksmith

He is unusually trusting of mages but my excuse is that he has an evil radar

Don't be evil raistlin, ok

he isn't yet

its fine

nothing at all like griffith

it will work out a okay this time for sure

Well. At least this time around guts probably learned his lesson to use his mouth rather than just bounce

Maybe say words. A word or two with your friends

when raistlin gives you the speech about how he will be the most powerful mage who has ever lived and one day all of krynn will bow to him!!!!!1111 simply give him a hug to calm him down

like with alligators

He's got big arms for big hugs

and need may or may not not-sigh loudly and cut through interpersonal confusion to make it nice and clear

(mercedes lackey: all of my Good Characters who can read minds are very discreet about it and choose not to 99% of the time!
companions and need: hold my wine)

companions are the worst

so rude

They are! Ugh in winds of fate while two heralds are talking to a mage one of the companions is also talking to him being hideously snide about it

They’re only “supposed” to talk to their Chosen unless things are dire but I guess “gotta flex on quentin who’s doing nothing whatsoever wrong” counts huh

i remember.... just absolutely reveling in him going "they don't know what you are. they don't know what you are? they don't know what you are!!! they don't know what you are!!!!!!!!111111!!11!!

gwena: tee hee. ain't i a stinker.

“I guess you guys are the closest thing to Heralds here?”
“Uhhhhhh I wouldn’t say that?”
:unbearably smug-and-superior Companion noises:

Need did also flex on him by dropping her shields and being visibly very magic
So maybe he just has pick on me vibes to spirits.

taggain

saturday done

now raist

then fallout

then tags

raist is hardest because he is New

i also realized i need to find a new icon bc he's supposed to be a red robe still

but goddam his face is so good in that one

how do i photochop....

seriously dude if you want to yeet images at me i'll make you 100x100 squares

>.> Remy is annoyed on Saturday's behalf.

asfghjk oh no

bad choices brigade terrorizes the faire

I mean...

If you don't want a coin to explode in your face, don't be an asshole.

in his defense saturday did do the most annoying form of cheating, which is cheating on a technicalicty

on the other hand I fully support this nonsense

Hey. Remy supports technicalities!

Anyway. Remember, they met each other by daring themselves through one of the obstacle courses.

And showing off doing it.

its true, and i respect their chaos vortex energy

Rogue isn't there to temper him this time.

guys...................

(just kidding, he would probably be like "nice")

as if guts hasn't been chased out of more towns than he's gotten to spend a peaceful night in

hey he hasn't been chased out recently

Joysweeper so what i am thinking is that need can sense raistlin's lich there but can't quite find him yet. this is a point in his life where fistandantilous isn't super influentioal and raistlin isn't aware of him. but she definitely gets a Vibe?

makes sense! if they ever sat down and need went full probe she might find fisty but she's disinclined to go that far.

yeah and i do want to save fisty's full reveal and exorcism for not the tdm

make it a big thing

if it happens

hoo hoo

yup! heh.

fisty scrabbling around out of the way like a squirrel around a tree
