[ExtropianDreamer]

Name: Tobias Freeman
Age: Fuck if I know. I guess I should be somewhere in my thirties or forties by now? But with Time shenanigans, Life de-aging and a few chunks of missing memories it's impossible to say for sure. I look like I'm in my late twenties at the moment.

Guardian: Mother, and I'll not hear a word against her.
Strife Specibus: Trapkind, Fistkind, Crowbarkind

Text Colour: 1fb9d3
Species: Human (Homo Sapiens)
Nationality: British

1. Page of Rain (I reckon I got the Page part right at least.)
2. Knight of Dreams ('Sup Knight syndrome.)
3. Bard of Mist (Picked up a weird Mist glitch here. Fuck the Bard's outfit.)
4. Muse of Sand (This was where Sburb decided to fuck with my gender identity.)
5. Seer of Dreams (Gah, more gender-fuckery. The outfit looked terrible on me.)
6. Prince of Rage (I may have had my head up my arse for most of this one. Shouting things to death was pretty cool though.)
7. Grace of Time (This session did not go well. Four cataclysms! So very many dead mes.)
8. Heir of Rain (A good session. Few glitches, actually pretty fun. Fond memories.)
9. Muse of Rhyme (Have I mentioned my complete lack of musical ability? The outfit wasn't that great, but I was sort of used to it by that point.)
10. Smith of Dreams (Loved it. Session was pretty bad though, ran into my first full-blown PK.)
11. Ward of Hope
12. Sage of Mist
13. Maid of Doom
14. Witch of Flow (Yes, I prototyped something stupid. No, you really can't help yourself.)

16. Muse of Blood
17. Sage of Rain

31. Dame of Life (I do not have the legs for that dress.)
32. Prince of Time
33. Bard of Time
34. Waste of Doom
35. Sylph of Rain (I was starting to get a little down. This cheered me right up.)
36. Smith of Heart (I always like playing Smith Classes, this was no exception.)
37. Bane of Life
38. Maid of Stars (Heh. Loved the pun. Loved the aspect. Hated the title. I am a terrible Maid.)
39. Smith of Rain (Another relatively easy session. Had fun, but maybe got a little carried away.)
40. Waste of Rain (Gods, was this session depressing.)
41. Bane of Hope (Started rough, started looking up, and then went bad. My fault. I'm sorry.)
42. Ward of Rain

Some of these are kind of fuzzy, particularly the twelve sessions in between me being the Sage and Seer of Rain.

Chances are, if I haven't been a particular title, I've probably been in a session with one.

Title: Bane of Hope
Land: Land of Tombs and Mirrors
Consorts: Crypt Land. Used to be Crows of some sort, I think.
Denizen: Fenrir
Other Players:

• naysayerRetort, Seer of Time (Second session, the most together of the other players. Was a Waste of Doom, knows how bad things can get. Given him links to the FAQs and forums, hope he reads them. Did a decent job as AI's server. Had to let him be ER's client, hope he can deal with her.)
  
• dimestoreConfusion, Ward of Space (Second session, infatuated with the Bard of Blood. Might be looking for a rolemodel or something - obviously distraught over previous session. Have to be careful here, ER might take advantage if she figures it out.)
  
• adversityInvictus, Witch of Breath (Second session, unsure, emotionally exhausted. Handling her carefully. Prototyped a nuke. How the fuck did she even? I don't care, it's not nearly as bad as it could have been. Is also apparently built from muscle layered on top of more muscle.)
  
• everReady, Bard of Blood (Third Session, on a bit of a confidence high. Showing signs of Umbral Ultimatum. Potential PK. Made sure I was her server.)

Prototypings:

• -Blank book [Me]
  
• -Cardigan [NT]
  
• -Handgun [DC] (Fuck you, ER, for convincing him to do that. I've already gotten shot this session.)
  
• -Nuke [AI] (I have no fucking clue how she even had access to one of those.)
  
• -Broken desk [ER]
  
• -Dead lizard [ER] (Had to prototype hers twice, just to keep her from tossing something in while I wasn't looking.)

Progress:

• Log 1: Made contact with other players, noted ER as possible problem. Entered first. Pegged AI as the witch. Determined order of entry ED <- DC <- AI <- NT <- ER.
  
• Log 2: Entry completed, relatively problem free. Managed to keep ER from screwing us over. AI did the Witchy thing and prototyped something stupid, but not as bad as it could have been.
  
• Log 3: Started grinding maturity quests. Can't afford to make stupid mistakes. Trying to bait ER into doing some with me, maybe she'll be better when she's a bit more mature. Nuclear Imps are dangerous, but not horrendously so. Keeping players on track is like herding cats.

A new leaf has turned upon it's fall. Meaning is distorted by refraction, though it be only scattered drops.

Log 4

Finally managed to bait ER into doing a quest with me. I wish some of the Hope mental support abilities were actually relevant here - they're great and all, but rejection and defiance aren't really great for discouraging PKs. The girl does not need any boost to her self-confidence. Ironically, her abilities would be perfect for this, if she ever used them. Bah, I guess I'll have to try to get an Unbreakable Union going with the bitch. Only thing I can really do. Should probably stop referring to her as a bitch in that case.

Not having much luck with my Revelawesomes, it's all been mental support so far. Which is great normally and I've tagged the rest of the players as best I can, but none of them are much use for the real problem player of the session, ER. I'd kind of like to have something a bit more combative in case she decides to start PKing everyone to make the game harder.

Either way, first multiplayer dungeon ahead. It's the water-themed one with all the slides that's kind of like a water park but with more murder?

Also, added more data to my current stats.

Log 5

She won't admit it, but I think I made an impression on ER. The choice of dungeon was intentional as a "Hey, we better wear swimwear for this and, oh, look at all the scars I have under my clothes from my last session" sort of thing. She asked a couple of questions about them, I spun her a few tales. Maybe she'll get the point that Sburb isn't something that needs to be any harder. Bonded a little as well, I guess.

Might have been neglecting the others though. NR contacted me, scared out of his mind. He ran into his first dead timeclone. Shit. Not much I can do to help him there, beyond tagging him with some of my psy-buffs. Not the healthiest long-term approach though. I'll drop by his Land later, talk things over with him, maybe give him the link to the forums.

Figured I should check up on the others as well. AI and DC still seem overwhelmed.

Tried spreading my psy-buffs around, but don't have enough to cover the entire team yet. Need to find a way to deal with this mundanely. Maybe get everyone together in person, throw a small corpse-party? Bet if I provoke ER just right I can get her to help, maybe even throw out one of her own psy-buffs - I know she has some, I've heard her complaining about them. I wish I felt more up for this sort of thing.

Log 6

Hook, line and sinker. ER took the bait.

Suppose I better start baking, we've got a party to plan.

In the mean time, been focusing on some dream quests. So glad I don't have to bother earning my wings as Hope. That questline is kind of boring after the third time through. ER seems to be seeing me as her rival or something now, since I've seen her puttering about the moon as well now.

Also finally got a few combat powers, [Here Comes The Arm] & [Eject]. Smashing Ogres into, well, anything that's handy really, just never gets old, and [Eject] is just as fucking broken as it always is. Dug my old Miracle Modus out of storage and modded it a little for that extra bit of kick.

The other players are just sort of puttering along. Kind of more concerned about them now - they're all still pretty down.

[ExtropianDreamer]

Been a while since I uploaded any of my logs. Let's rectify that.

Log 7

Party went fine, though evidently ER said something to AI that set her off. Tried to separate the two physically, couldn't actually manage it for AI - the girl is apparently made of muscle on muscle. DC stepped up to the plate though, dumped them both in the sea to cool off. ER ran off to sulk but AI stuck around for the rest of the party after she swam back to shore. Think some of the things ER was saying during that fight might have cured DC of his little crush.

Looks like AI and DC are both feeling a bit better about things. Both of them approached me afterwards for some advice on problems with their quests, so I guess they've gotten over their apprehension. Be good to work with them properly.

Also, the consorts apparently enjoyed themselves. We all got a little boost to our rep.

Log 8

Tracked down ER after the party. We had a fairly in depth talk about a few things. Got a little loud during parts, and I'm not going to put down the details here. I hope I got through to her, but I fear that things might have backfired.

DC has definitely stopped crushing on ER, but it seems that ER actually valued his opinion. She's noticeably upset.

Log 9

Making good progress through the maturity quests, should be ready to confront Fenrir soon. Progress has dropped off for the others. Asked around, apparently they're all a little reluctant to go through the whole denizen business again. I sympathise, but we kind of have to. I'll see if I can talk them around.

ER is becoming increasingly erratic, including some sort of growing obsession with AI. Apparently, being able to physically overpower a Blood aspect has impressed ER. Need to find out what's going on in that head of hers.

NR is apparently occupied with some sort of temporal snafu. I'm concerned, but he's assured me that my involvement would only make things worse.

[ExtropianDreamer]

Hmm... what scar shall the rain carve into my flesh this time I wonder?

Face

Mane

Tongue

Eyes

Heart

Hand

Feet

All have been torn from me in my throes at one time or another. What part of myself will I remove this time I wonder? What shall be the gate for my works upon this world?

EDIT Well, I seem to have run out of madness for the time being. Bear in mind that this is pre entry, so don't expect it to happen so easily in the future.

I'll use this moment of lucidity to lay out what's happened.

Essentially, everything went horribly wrong and everyone died. All my fault. Not talking about it. If you're clever you can probably see how from my logs.

Right now I'm in my next session, and the gibbering insanity that is even now gnawing away at my mind means I've rolled Rain again. I've been talking in the memos to try and exhaust my supply of it, since this early in the session I only have so much crazy in me to give, and am now relatively lucid. I'll use this opportunity to introduce myself to my coplayers and see about getting our entry underway.

Here's hoping I don't screw it up again.
