I kinda want to see some scenes of Selene interacting with Baldomare and Axe.

That quote is from the discussion of the Changeling assault! And who would "her" be but the Name of a power whose very essence is "Rebelling against a terrifyingly strong master"?That you know of.Of every creature in existence, I bet the Baldomare could tell us how to get away from the master. At least for a while.
"Wait, why are you asking me this instead of... oh... you haven't met her yet? Pony-Jesus, Velvet, it's almost as if you haven't set hoof in the Mansus ever since you got your Brand!"
Also, I forgot to mention when it first happened. BunnyLord is back with us, huzzah! Glad to see you here.My knowledge of the show is mostly just from cultural osmosis, but this might be a problem we've butterflied away - I think we're about to start hunting Discord.
Could you please elaborate on your question a little more? I'm not sure I understood it to give you a proper answer.Now we have a wolf, son of his mother, son of his father. I really do need a clarification @OurLadyOfWires, since I tend to think too deeply, is this a character or a mechanic/consequence wearing a character's mask? It does matter, because this son loves something whereas his elder siblings merely hate. A bit more alike his mother than his father perhaps, perhaps, when it comes to The Wolf any difference at all is a vast gulf.
Thank you kindly!
Coincidences do not exist indeed! Although I suppose only the seasoning of love, if not love, would make the taste less disgusting.Velvet Covers has learned the Ritual "A Mother's Love"
This is not a Regretable Action. This is a Regretable Action
Still need a few more stains before you figure that.@OurLadyOfWires Last time we directly asked if there was any possibility of ever removing the Stains, I think you said that we/Velvet didn't have a good enough understanding of what the Stains even were to try and figure it out (since iirc it was when we were still at 1/7). Since we're now at 3/7, do we have a better idea about the removability of the Stains? Completely impossible, possible but not within the scope of the quest (e.g. as Hour-Velvet), technically possible but extremely difficult?
No.I don't suppose we could recover the burnt seed and restore it with a Redemption of the Forge @OurLadyOfWires ? You know, make Starry's death not have been in vain?
Heck yeah, thank you so much for this! The Wolf's words were an absolute banger.Bloody Zog, gotta love hyperfixation. where did my evening go?
About this, honest question. I haven't threadmarked this yet because I am not sure what place is the best to put it. We only have "Threadmarks" for the main story, and then "Extras" and "Index". I really don't know which of the latter two would be less inconvenient.
You will give him "enough information so he can act upon it", but not enough to immediately reveal the Lores or anything.@OurLadyOfWires So if we were to tell Pride about DoA's plan for this turn, what would we say? "She's going to do some exploring in Canterlot"?
No.
Delightful. Truly.
It's in the pipeline.I kinda want to see some scenes of Selene interacting with Baldomare and Axe.
Haha, you really like the idea of a lioness Lionsmith name, eh? Can't blame you, she is honestly growing on me the more you tell us about her.
Have you ever stopped to consider the old image of how dogs like to chew on bones? You know, that old thing we see on media all the time, where a dog is portrayed with a bone on his mouth? Or how dog toys or dog treats are shaped like cute little bones?
God. Fascinating book to read, but poor, poor, Starry.The third statue, carved with a bone held between its jaws, must be kept warm at all times.
Thinking what a dyad partner to Biedde would look like… I wanted that playfulness, and casualness, and a more ferocious and freely-apportioned violence rather than a controlled and inexorable one.Haha, you really like the idea of a lioness Lionsmith name, eh?

I wouldnt advise attacking copper, but I have advised against that until I was blue in the face.
It is a path we are determined to treat it seems.
Great omake! Big fan of the Lionsmith, and I really like the connection between him and Copper. I still hope a little bit that we can genre-shift our relationship with her into an Edge-dyad so we don't have to cut her out of the story via mass Name assault. Probably not a very realistic plan, but I can dream.
Can you people decide for once if you want to go after Copper or not? First you lot drop the RotTs and scouting for other things then want to send Ash after her and now you're getting cold feet?
Like what? Ash is a new Mansus hazard of an entirely new layer of said Mansus and she has no way of knowing that we are the source of it.Now hold on, I've been very consistent. We finish what we're doing right now with Baldomare and Axe and Biedde, then (since Luna/Selene has asked us to leave the Daybreaker thing to her) we'll be in a very good position to evaluate and then deal with Copper. Poking at her with Ash right now could very easily spur her to do something stupid next turn while we're neck-deep in trying to deal with the presumed Fraginclave and Book acquisitions.

It... is a stretch that Copper would see Ash and blame Velvet.Like what? Ash is a new Mansus hazard of an entirely new layer of said Mansus and she has no way of knowing that we are the source of it.
I feel like while she wouldn't know for certain, we are one of the very few active lore practicioners that could have even potentially done it. She's also already negatively predisposed to us; even without strong evidence, she might do something anyway.
A confirmation isn't necessary. Irrational paranoia and seething hatred is all she needs.
We were perceived as being extremely powerful in the cult; remember the Hintseekers? If anyone other than the Master did it (and why would they, she lives in the Wood), we're a pretty logical second option.I just cannot believe that Copper would see the complete destruction of the Woods and go, "Velvet did this." It's kind of beyond any mortal cultist, this is the shit of Hours.
Not really. There's a massive difference between being a powerful mortal adept, and being powerful enough to completely destroy a zone of the Mansus and kill a Name at their full power. Especially since it's not like Regrettable Actions are a thing that Velvet has ever admitted to even be a possibility to anyone.We were perceived as being extremely powerful in the cult; remember the Hintseekers?

As unlikely as it sounds, I personally think that it still sounds more plausible than the Wood just spontaneously combusting into an ocean of spicy ashes for no apparent reason when it's been static for thousands of years.Not really.

I don't believe that Velvet has a monopoly on knowledge of the Wolf. It's a geographical feature of the Mansus; even if she hasn't visited personally, I think that Copper would at least know what it is.Especially since it's not like Regrettable Actions are a thing that Velvet has ever admitted to even be a possibility to anyone.
You'd think, but at the same time Windy never found the Garden or the Tower despite spending a ton of time in the Blank Plains. I also kind of doubt that NPCs would have access to Regrettable Actions? But I may be wrong on that.I don't believe that Velvet has a monopoly on knowledge of the Wolf.

this is what people said when we did path through nightmares on her. Shock of shocks we were wrong.Never do your enemy a small injury. We seem intent on driving her into a corner without stopping to consider what Grail-tinged mutually-assured destruction might look like.
Examine her, evaluate her, plan and execute a strike that renders her harmless one way or another. Don't half-ass it like we did with the Changelings, don't give her a chance to do something vindictive out of hopeless spite.
For the record I was (and am) very firmly of the opinion that if we wanted her dead we should have sent DoA after her instead of wasting 80 bits on a ritual, and I still do not understand why people thought spending 80 bits on a ritual when we had both a cheaper and more likely to work option right there was a good idea.this is what people said when we did path through nightmares on her. Shock of shocks we were wrong.

No one has moved an inch... or even a millimeter from their previous positions. As you amply demonstrate here.
"Woops guys sorry Ash didnt roll too hot she got away and has become even more psychotically dedicated to reveeenge." Again. Ad infinitum.
Depends on how good the "Selene" disguise is as hiding her Lore levels, I guess.Wait, is Comet going to sense Selene's edge when she unlocks it? He'll probably know somethings up when he comes by with fluttershy next time.
Could you please elaborate on your question a little more? I'm not sure I understood it to give you a proper answer.
Also, I have a question of my own. I don't mean this as a malicious nitpick or anything, this is legitimately me asking because these little details are important to me. But why are you saying this son "loves"?
Again, not a nitpick, but the term used was "glee", unless I am mistaken (I am very tired during weekdays now, so I could just be missing something obvious, pardon if that's the case).
So, again not a nitpick or a jab or anything. Please don't take this the wrong way. I really just want to make sure.
Heck yeah, thank you so much for this! The Wolf's words were an absolute banger.
I understand, and even commiserate, about how hyperfixation can make your time disappear. But wow, am I glad you wrote this!
And by all means, let me know what title you want for this.
And the name "Rose", as well as the wonderful conversations about BoH that appear every now and then, do make me curious about playing it.

Looks to me likeAbout this, honest question. I haven't threadmarked this yet because I am not sure what place is the best to put it. We only have "Threadmarks" for the main story, and then "Extras" and "Index". I really don't know which of the latter two would be less inconvenient.
Also, if you press the "[ ]" icon on the top right, to show the BB code, the BB code is shown as:

followed by a three-number coordinate. I found that one to also be helpful to know.

She threw a maxed EiB at us because from her perspective we threw a PtN at her the previous turn. Then we no sold it and so she isn't all that likely to take another stab at it but even if she does Neighina has 1 AP, we can tank one EiB.She instantly threw a maxed [The End Is Beautiful] at us, that's hardly nothing. And since we've sent Axe off to go spelunking we can't get keys off her if she's delayed. This'd be a really dumb way to die, randomly to another round of throwing Lore attacks back and forth.
