I need to get some brain together to throw Remy at Saturday. They should properly catch up.

Ambitious

i know its a lot to take on but i just might be able to handle it if i pace myself

litshard: she's got event prompts and stuff in the "days after" post

I know! I'm just trying to get my brain in gear. May not be happening tonight.

anyway the first step to becoming raistlin is, unless they've already got your positive interest or indicated that they have something you want, assume they're a useless goddamned asshole

But she should totally see the wedding ring.

this is, as zitasaurusrex and kadath can testify, actually very reasonable given his canon

I mean. That seems to have been most of his companions.

exactly

raistlin all "why did you save me?"
everyone else like "because you needed saving????"

raistlin cannot process altruism tbqh

he can't even process "trying to strike up friendly conversation"

the slapfight with cammie actually counts as "positive friendly social interaction"

no one got called names, no one got hurt or dead

glamazon important question: is Bunny an immortal or ageless being

this is relevent to, literally, how raistlin sees him

saved him because raistlin promised cool magic and he's yet to properly see it

alas raistlin made those promises before realizing how incredibly nerfed he'd been so you're gonna have to settle for really awesome illusions and storytime

cant even cast a magic missile...

well he is still a good cook and thats also an impressive skill

great, from powerful young magus only just beginning to reach his full potential to Cooking And Storytime Man

raist's self image is gonna take a beating

"what if I just lay down and fucking died" he thinks

I also need to throw Remy at Raist. This will happen.

uh, how does raist's deathsight shit work with someone whose destiny is to become a god? afaf >_>

(starcraft 2 sure was a thing that happened)

if she's not currrently immortal or ageless there's no effect

its not any kind of USEFUL futuresight

oh ofc

Raistlin Can't Have Nice Things

its been useful exactly Once in his life and that was when he got tipped off to an ancient red dragon in disguise because his eyes went ????out of cheese error, redo from start??? every time he looked at the disguise dragon

on account it was using true polymorph or some shit, and the eyes couldn't decide if they were looking at a dragon or a human

didnt tell him what the dude was, just that he was weird

in that case, cortana is ageless

fwiw

oh god he's gonna have to process the entire concept of AI

he is immortal yeah

he wasn't always but is now!

prior to inheriting his goddess's powers he was just going to be really, really long-lived.

ahahahahaha

so the only :"alive" things he's seeing so far are: ghost mechanical mind lady, and the talking rabbit

what an incredibly fun time hes having

if it means anything, when need talked to cortana she was like "what's an ai? huh, bet I count by some definitions"
both halo advanced ais and whatever the heck need is require a person to die and contribute some elements

I'm not sorry for making yet another crotchety old person have to take a giant talking rabbit seriously 😌

theres no need to conceptualize AI she's just the bossy lady in the amulet

"imagine a lich but there's some alteration of the soul and she doesn't remember everything or have quite the same personality, also, more industrial technology is involved," need says

glamazon: im sorry raistlin is just going to assume the absolutely worst about bunny as a person, it is not personal, he feels this way about everyone at all times.

I beg you

assume

bunny getting into fights brings me so much joy

raistlin has basically spend his life trapped in a scapegoat/golden child dynamic as the scapegoat and exactly four people in his life have ever told him otherwise. none of them ever actually stepped in and took care of him, however, because he met them as an adult

he's just a very bitter and cynical person who has had an incredibly bad week

can't wait until someone proposes a not-stupid plan and raistlin is inhaling in preparation to shoot it down, but realizes it's actually a good idea and consequently has no idea how to react

"hey guys I have an idea, what if we - "
raistlin: /inhaling/
" - called a halt and scouted up ahead? I don't like the look of that curve we're coming up on."
raistlin: /exhales, in relief or as if punched/

all the actual soldiers setting up formations and perimeters
coming up with tactics in advance and practicing them

meanwhile over in the tdm thread with need raist is like "so you're an ancient lich bound to a sword that yearns to possess a body, cool, teach me magic plz."

until need says "btw, my purpose is fundamentally benevolent and to champion the poor and dispossessed" and raistlin is like "well now Im not sure I trust you"

"that seems sus"

/laughs

d&d wizards all like "a powerful magic item i'mma lick it "

this is what dragonlance does to people!!!!!

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, the setting

that was about dnd wizards

it took a while to make plurk work

anyway yeah krynn sure is a fucking setting

very jarring to one of the most cynical good guys from a "we're pretending this isn't a high idealism setting but it absolutely is" canon

in another plurk caorlyn described raist as "neutral good but just really, really depressed" and im not over it

i'm not wrong

you're not........ at least until he goes black robes

thats when the unethical human experimentation starts

on the other hand, dnd wizard, where do we really draw that line

need is gonna be so disappointed in him

u gotta experiment on one of those races where the descriptor is "always chaotic evil," then it's fine

/ad&d logic

Joysweeper: there's war crimes too. : D

naturally!

she will be depressed
possibly get an existential crisis
you know, just good things

if guts can accept farnese as a companion then he can forgive raistlin for being evil

as long as he no longer wants to be evil

(he also does not have a stellar history but not at that level)

honestly even raistlin would be kinda like "uh" at griffith

he did some shit but not at that level

he accepted fistandantilus into his heart under similar emotional circumstances as when griffith did the thing, but everything was much less extreme

and nobody actually died

he just thought they had

griffith is in a category all his own

griffith is in his own bastard tier

you do just kinda have to stand and stare in awe

(pointing at griffith) just don't do that and we can work it out

need, maudlin in her scabbard: what's even the point if I can't pick good people, do I have to follow them all from the cradle to the grave?

morality in her canon is a bit uh
on the binary side

okay i will do saturday

tomorrow
