Just noticed what you wrote as your status. Sorry to hear that, colds in general just suck but the bad ones especially of course. Hope you feel better soon!
Also, here's another set of dumb quotes
Maska: Lukov? Well I wish I would've known you were coming. I'm a mess. Lukov: Don't know if a call from me would've changed that.
Fiore: My knife, you see... is coated in poison. Fiore: The smallest cut can be fatal. Fiore: Take care. My knife... has quite a burn. Fiore: *licks the knife* Fiore: ...I shouldn't have licked it.
Ralston: So you lied. About everything. Ivora: I didn't lie. I just avoided certain truths to manipulate you.
Calais: You're the bad guy in somebody's story. Keahi: Pal, I'm the bad guy in MY story.
Astor: Not everyone is impressed by you. Javor: Well then, not everyone is paying attention.
Ralston: Be safe, Fáelán. Fáelán: When am I not safe? Everyone: *disbelieving stares* Fáelán: Don't answer that.
Aryuna, to her retainers: When I first met you, I used to dread spending three seconds with you. But now I could go, I don’t know, up to fifty minutes in your company before I need just a little break.
Bijou: I’m not allowed outside after dark in my beast form because I outshine all the stars and the moon so baby sea turtles always end up flocking to me.
Tacari: Why would you ever want to run 26 miles? Keahi: The same reason you stayed on the couch for an entire month. Tacari: Ah, I get it. A sense of accomplishment.
Ajax: *tackles Kerah* Kerah: What was that for? Ajax: Because I missed you. Kerah: I missed you too. Ajax: *punches Kerah* Kerah: Ow! What was that for? Ajax: Not showing up fast enough.
Javor: I'm pretty sure 90% of my mutuals dislike me. Astor: Me. Javor: I made the post, so it's me. Not you. Astor: You dumb bitch I meant I'm your mutual and I hate you. This is why we hate you.
Marceau: This is typical of the kind of mess you get us into, Ralston. Aryuna: Hey! This is not the time to blame Ralston. Ralston: Thank you! Finally! Aryuna: There will be plenty of time to blame Ralston later, when this is resolved.
Rayén: *lifts 10-pound weight* Rayén: Nice. Rayén: *adds "salmon" to list of animals she could protect a friend from in her human form*
Interviewer: Is there anything else you want to say to the people watching? Astor: My favorite color is blood! Interviewer: Alright.
Also, somehow I stumbled upon this and somehow had to think of our idiots. Do you think Ralston or someone else would be stupid enough to do that too? Or our Elusian idiots? xD

Ended up thinking about the Elusian siblings today, trying to figure out which ones might betray the Fell Dragon and which ones stay loyal. Also which ones get to live. Aside from Maska and Askaval I think I'll let two or three more live. For the ones who die, here's what I have planned:
Ravis - was killed by Bijou a year ago and tried to curse him but hit the snow leopard's sibling Jialan instead Fenra - gets killed by Keahi during the final battle. She manages to badly wound her with her ability but the jackal most likely gets to live Pedram - betrays the Followers either by preventing someone from killing one of Ralston's squad or by killing some NPC who is trying to do the ritual thing. Or by secretly guiding the squad to a shrine that Askaval's mentor didn't know about. Either way, the Followers will either feed him to the Fell Dragon (not es effective as those shrine sacrifices but still quite good) or demote him to slave and work him to death Avani - either dies in battle or sacrifices herself performing the ritual. I think I wanna do the latter Rakesh - probably dies during the final battle. Anyone of our good guys is free to kill him Talia - betrays the Followers and considers joining Ralston's squad but gets killed before she can. Her ability would make it difficult since it greatly reduces damage from both physical and magical attacks so only very powerful attacks can hurt her and even those would give her little more than a scratch so the Followers chasing her will have to come up with some other way to kill her. I guess they could just choke or drown her, problem solved. And they could turn her into a Corrupted afterwards if they plan to attack the squad if they're only a few miles away
As for the ones who get to live aside from Maska and Askaval I chose two of Fenra's siblings (Kyren and Imea) and one of Rakesh's (Taran). Not sure if they show up for the final battle or not because at least one of them will probably leave the Followers before that. I think Imea flees Elusia at some point (maybe after Pedram and Talia's failed attempts) and hides in one of the other realms. Kyren and Taran will stay in Elusia and slowly turn against the Followers but can't do so openly. So they will fight on his side during the final battle but might find opportunities to secretly aid Ralston's squad. They might openly fight on their side though once the Fell Dragon can't afford to get distracted anymore so he also can't afford to posses them. Or not. Maybe I'll just have them not really fight because they don't want to upset Maska even more. At this point the kid is only still on the Fell Dragon's side because if he switched sides it would mean his entire training was pointless. So he can't join Ralston's squad. But he also no longer feels like he belongs on the Fell Dragon's side. He will try to fight the squad but eventually stops, not knowing where he really belongs and also having difficulties understanding himself because while he always thought he disliked or even hated his siblings he's very upset about the deaths of Fenra and Rakesh. And he gets even more confused about stuff after the Fell Dragon uses Askaval against the squad a few times by making them counter and tank hits meant for the dragon, resulting in one of the good guys nearly killing them. Up until this point Maska was fully convinced he absolutely hated Askaval only to suddenly fear for their life. So yea, he's got a lot to deal with during that battle. Kyren and Taran would only make things even worse by openly switching sides then. So yea, maybe they will stick to secretly helping the squad instead. Some Followers might notice those two aren't actually attacking anyone but may not really suspect much because to them it just looks like these two are protecting their little brother who's too overwhelmed to fight

Yea, that's the downside. You're free from all this university stuff now which is definitely great but now you gotta figure out what you wanna do. Hopefully it won't take too long because at some point life just gets kinda boring with all that freedom. It's awesome at first but eventually you don't really know what to do with yourself. So yea, enjoy your new found freedom for now but also look for something you wanna do from now on. As much as I complain about my job being boring sometimes (things are pretty slow right now) I still vastly prefer it over having nothing to do at all
in other news, while I haven't been online for some time (so haven't gotten anything done here and in our other rp) I have been thinking about my poor OCs again. That's the good thing about not having all that much to do at work currently, I can let my mind wander and figure out more stuff about those unfortunate creatures xD It's not much, only a few more crappy things Maska had to deal with and also a thing or two I'll do to torment him even more. As if his mentor hasn't been awful enough already I made him even a bit worse. So now another cruel thing he did was to try and get the kid to just get over his trauma (the whole Brodia thing) by intentionally triggering him every now and then. Of course it didn't work and only achieved the opposite. Geez, good thing that mentor is dead by the time the rp starts. Unfortunately that doesn't mean no one will be mean to the kid any more. She doesn't get many opportunities but Mean Third Wife will definitely be awful to him whenever she's on the same team as Maska. She hates all the kids that aren't hers, after all. Only good thing is that she doesn't get to do that often because at some point the good guys kill her in battle I also thought a bit about my jackals and now I know they don't have the best parents. While they are okay for the most part and want their kids to be happy they aren't exactly the most understanding and accepting people. Oh, their kids can do whatever they want and even love whoever they want but they don't really accept that Tacari is a guy and not a girl like they all originally thought. They only "respect" his pronouns because Keahi keeps telling them off sharply whenever they fail to do so and especially if they try to convince him that none of his interests and hobbies (like the wolf fights) make him any less of a girl, that there's nothing wrong with being a tomboy. And it's not even like Tacari just doesn't pass. He does, very well actually. But his parents are still convinced that thanks to their tribe's reputation no one will ever accept him for who he is. So yea, it's both not understanding him at all and also them just being concerned that he'll be disliked by everyone. Not that this excuses their dumb behaviour of course. And both he and Keahi know this and don't trust them because of it. So yea, my jackals' parents aren't on the same level as the shitty parents of Rowan, Calais, Hias or Nikolai and they do care about their kids but they aren't good parents either because of how they don't respect their son

i will, going to go back to 40 at my current job now, and look for things to put my degree towards, but doing 40 a week will help me save up more money for a car that would open up more opportunities for such work to use my degree for an eventually an apartment
same here, almost done with nikolai/apollo/kai/korith just need to put it here. but damn what did you put the best boy through now, hes supposed to be in a nice box where he can be safe, okay yea this mentor deserves everything and more that happened to him and he better be suffering in the afterlife, and yesss third wife getting the karma she deserves, okay so terrible parents but are a few pegs higher compared to our usual shitty parents but still pretty shitty that they arent able to escape being invited constantly to the shitty parent society, but yea while compared to those parents they are better when you then look at the good/decent parents they are not able to join them

Yea, if its different staff maybe I'll let her stay, but yea otherwise I'm cutting and running to bring her home, cause if all she needs is like an empty litter box then okay put her in a kennel With one or even just have her be in the laundry room with one of the three litter boxes empty, but yea feel bad for the dog people don't deserve to have pets
Oh don't blame them for either of that, and Wolfeda would work her ass off to make amends for everything that she did to them, yep! And once he gets more comfortable/skilled he relax about it
Yea, but I'm sure it will probably be that the rings possibly formed when the emblems got brought over to the engage universe, but then its just confirm it
Yea they would not stand for Ajax’s poor acting cause if they are able to fool Ralston, again not like it takes much, and a few other people in their disguises surely they can give a bit of talent to Ajax that he night at least come off as convincing of what he says even if people are able to still tell Ajax is lying due to their many past lies that even if they do eventually come off as convincing there is still the doubt that “Hey this is Ajax remember,”
Jewel: I'm sorry for thinking so poorly of you, please forgive me Fáelán: Who are you? Looking forward to seeing Kirat grow
Yea Nikolai and Ralston both just dispel any illusions or expectations people have of them, Nikolai is incredibly weak and is more about supportive role then actually charging and leading, Ralston is….Ralston and yea dont blame them for getting him a child leash otherwise he would be trusting and following anyone until he slowly grows more world savy
Nekosh would be open to friends just would be hesitant about it cause I mean the last “friends” they had were crazy cultists, yea if it's left as an option at thr very least they would check on the people at the very least once Sounds great, and we can always change it later if we choose if we feel that at a certain point it works easier to do a battle earlier
Yea everyone loves seeing them like this cause it's just so different to how they usually are, Ajax is more so teasing but once they are dating Kerah very much getting fed up, Searc is just right away everyone is fed up cause no you arent dying nor are you sick its okah to have emotions
Yea Yanser just basically makes a mockery of assassin work when you hear stories about them that “I need to see this to believe it” type of energy. Truly I'd a crime that the emblems can't interact with the physical world, the cats just sitting there and being unable to pet them, Jewel would be open to engaging as would Kai when the fox joins, kerah would be willing to engage with Néo so the boy can pet the cats otherwise he is actively a Lara and Tahvo engager
Yea, I've had good ones too, but yea alot of the teachers did favorites and didn't try hide it, I had one professor last fall who said “I don't play favorites cause you all are here to improve” for an intro art class, but then she dotted like crazy on the same three students and when it was critiquing time for art work she refused to leave those three kids works till everyone said something good about it but then refused to let people comment on anyone else's cause “we need to get through these so we can go to the next project” Yea here there are local teams but then also school teams, middle.school you pay to be on it and then the teachers sort you to what team, and then high school ylu tried out for it, but same I hated naps time but now it's like can I go back to have a sanctioned time of the day reserved for me to just sleep
They really are, so don't leave then alone together or they are going to get taken advantage of alot, but yea if Yutaka did engage with a merchant it would be heavily rooted in the sense that he misses his parents shop, one cool idea I have that could be a passive skill for Yutaka, is that with amulet coin from pokemon, that he can cause for you to get more gold from winning a fight(cause scamming merchant)
Mhm just the casual trope of “do you think we know each other in every universe” no matter where she goes she will have these two idiots,
Tea so just resident caretaker to ensure everyone is functioning somewhat adults, I think I like that idea that they were at a village the king sent royal Nikolai to die at and tried teaching the prince in secret but got exiled when the king found out, and in brodia nikolai they are someone that fled elusia and went to firene to escape the fell dragon cult worshipping kingdom as they are an avid divine dragon supporter
Yea some will definitely have suspicions about her leaving so soon after the destruction of the town, while might be for various reasons such as like you said they might think of it might be she cant deal with the work of a sentinel. Themis probably would have suspicion about her as well but more so that she might even be the one responsible for the town getting destroyed, that she did it, Vigran would not want to think poorly of her and they would be apart of the crowd thinking she just couldn't handle the work, Could be a mixture of the two, and it depends on the situations that he finds himself in. But yea or could even be brackets for the different types, and the top four or top 2 from.each one then goes to a winners bracket comprising of all the different types, or even yea they do allow for mixed fights, Harrison would adore to fight anyone regardless of type Sounds good for when they both join! I cant think of anyone of mine that would reject her hanging out for them, especially since they could see a resemblance they aren't just going to tell their new friend no you can't hang out with who is very clearly a family member, even the ones that might be distrustful/suspicious right off the bat they wouldn't just say no to a party members family member especially if they know hey no ties to fell dragon cult

Yea, saving up money for that sounds good. Because like you said, once you have a car you have also more opportunities. Hope you'll find something you can use your degree for then! Oh, nice. Getting stuff done for the characters is always great! And yea, the kid really deserves to get some time off from all this and instead I just keep coming up with more stuff to pile on him. Most of it is just more details about his training though so it's fine, that stuff all happened in the past after all. But yea, I did come up with something that will happen in the rp anyway. Since I listed what I have planned for his siblings it gave me an idea. I said I plan on letting Maska and four of his siblings live (Askaval, Kyren, Taran and Imea) while everyone else dies: So... for the part where I kill off his sister... Maska just so happens to be on the group (only consisting of npcs, aside from him) that, while on their way to track down Ralston's squad, suddenly gets informed that Talia has left Elusia, attacked some Followers and is now planning on joining up with the good guys. While he's hurt by his little sister's betrayal and is pretty mad about it Maska doesn't fully hate her and feels conflicted about having to capture her now because as much as he talks about disliking his siblings it still feels wrong to hurt them. Anyway, the group catches up with her but she manages to get away. However their dad's third wife is also part of the group and she she takes any excuse she can get to torment the kids that aren't hers. She normally can't do so since Finbar or his other two wives would stop her but since neither of them is part of this group she can do what she wants. She's also unwilling to follow the order to only capture Talia and let the Fell Dragon come up with a appropriate punishment (like with Pedram). Nope, she wants her dead. So she'll be the one who ends up killing her. And while Talia has managed to get away at first Evîn knows just how to get her to turn back. Since the incident with Brodia Talia has grown very protective of Maska and Askaval since she had been the only one who couldn't do anything to stop those Brodians. Her ability is of purely defensive nature after all and only affects her so she couldn't use to fight them. Evîn also knows Maska's triggers and gives him a panic attack. She also strikes him with her weapon a few times. The others think that's pretty messed up of course but they also don't step in because they know once Talia catches so much as a glimpse of this she'll come running back instantly to protect her brother. Well, she does and Evîn either strangles or drowns her. The rest of the group is not exactly happy about this because they were supposed to capture her alive but Evîn is leading the group and as Finbar's wife she has the greatest authority among the Followers that are present. She also tells them that if it upsets them so much they can turn Talia into a Corrupted. They do and then the group goes to attack Ralston's squad. While they are turning his sister into a corrupted Maska has finally calmed down but is also super upset because well, his sister just got killed and he hadn't been able to even try to stop it. And he also feels like it's his fault because Talia could have escaped easily but she had gone back because she was worried about him when Evîn attacked him When the group then fights Ralston and the others Askaval will probably have to fight Talia or they let someone else do it in case they can't handle this. Evîn will go out of her way to seek Askaval out and mock them, saying if they and the others had been quicker then Talia might have joined them instead of facing the Followers alone. She's also not done with being cruel to Maska either as he's not at his best in this battle, still saddened by his sister's death. Evîn will strike at him again and tell him if he were truly loyal to the Fell Dragon then he wouldn't feel bad about this. While she doesn't cause him to have a panic attack this time he still doesn't fight back because he thinks he deserves it, that she must be right that him being upset makes him a lousy Follower. She doesn't get to beat him up for long though because Askaval kills her. I think this is the first and only time they don't feel bad about killing. The first time they want someone dead. And up until this point Askaval has mostly feared their dad's third wife. So yea, this is how the crappy third wife dies. As for the rest of that group, they eventually flee or at least those who haven't been killed by the squad yet
Also, another idea I had a while ago to further expand on this:
Maska will either go after them once he realizes that he's the only one left (after spending a moment processing that he actually feels grateful that Askaval has killed that woman but also can't thank them because it just confuses him too much that the person he thinks he hates has done something nice for him) or the squad decides they can't let him leave because surely some others aside from just Askaval have seen him getting beaten up by one of his allies. And even though that woman is dead the fact that no one in that Followers group has stepped in and told her off is probably a little concerning. While Maska is a Follower too and therefore an enemy I think some of our good guys might feel bad for him, especially if they don't know that some Elusians do care about the kid (his siblings, Ivora and maybe some other of our Followers who are still alive and haven't defected) So what if they go to the Somniel after this mission and take him along, under the guise of taking him captive? Or just set up camp nearby and "force" him to stay? Either way, he's not really their prisoner and while they keep an eye on him he's allowed to move around freely (though he'll just stay in one spot at first). We could have some interesting interactions between him and some others. I kinda wanna see him have a civil conversation (so outside of battle) with Orion (who can relate to the physical abuse he went through, though their circumstances are different), Vigran (if they're willing to of course) and Emblem Searc so that's why I'm suggesting this As for what the squad hopes to achieve with this, I think some are wondering if by showing him kindness and also what they're really like they might get him to see the Fell Cult for what it really is. Not everyone agrees this is a good idea of course but since no one can enter the Somniel without Ralston or his parents permission there's not much risk involved either as no one can come attack them to get Maska back. It even works somewhat. While he'll avoid the Firene trio and also Nikolai and his retainers (if we do the royal route with him) he'll watch them from a safe distance and will realize that they aren't that bad after all. He wants nothing to do with them, especially Hias and Marceau because they killed the only friends he ever had, but he'll also realize that Lukov was wrong and had been lied to, that Hias isn't quite as much of a villain as he thought they were. Maska will still not join the squad because he can't just throw everything away but he'll also have a hard time still seeing them as his enemies. The squad probably lets him go after some time and Maska will go back to the Followers but when they see him at the final battle he'll be unable to fight the good guys for too long because of the time he spent with them. But since he also can't just turn against the Followers he'll end up fighting on neither side
And yup, the jackals' parents still suck. Not on the same level as the real shitty parents but definitely not worthy of being counted among the good parents either
Will reply to the other stuff later. Definitely this week. I just wanted to get this done first

And after this way longer than originally intended post here are some more quotes:
Bijou: Have you ever been with a man? Astor: The only thing I've ever been with a man is annoyed.
Tacari: I'm heavily into tradition this holiday season. Keahi, from the kitchen: EVERY... COOKIE... GONE!! Keahi: AGAIN!!! Tacari: As I was saying...
Kirat: There's three things that last forever: faith, hope, and spite. Kirat: And the strongest out of these is...? Fáelán: Spite! Kirat: No.
Javor, to Ralston and Harrison: Alright, Shaggy and Scooby, you take the sinks, I'll check the cabinets, and Velma, you get the spooky-looking fridge. Cenric: What?! Why do I get this... dubious-looking device?! Javor: Because only Velma would say "dubious device." Velma gets the spooky fridge. Astor: What does that make you, shithead? Fred? Javor: Bitch, I'm Daphne.
Tacari: Some call this laziness. I call it... Tacari: Tacari: ...whatever another word for laziness is.
Marceau: You make me question my sexuality. Javor: ...You're gay? Marceau: I know. It wasn't a compliment.
Keahi: Have you ever actually made a decision in your life? Tacari: Of course I make decisions. How do you think I'm wearing clothes right now? Keahi: I laid those out for you.
Ronera: Wait, you guys kissed? Ajax: No! It was a Fake-out Make-out!
Tacari: My motivation fell under the table, and I don’t wanna move and retrieve it.
Kerah: Kinda worried that Nintendo is trying to warn us about something. Pokemon Go, Mario Run. Kirat: Animal Crossing GET OUT. Jewel: Legend of Zelda GET A FAKE IDENTITY. Ronera: Donkey Kong IT'S BEHIND YOU. Rayén: Kirby WE WARNED YOU.
Maska: New game idea- Spin The Knife. You spin the knife and whoever it lands on has to kill you. Lukov: Um, are you okay? Maska: Hell no.
Fiore: *Tries putting their arm around Maska* Maska: Any part of you that touches me, you're not getting back.
Fenra: Maska is gonna be okay. I made him a PB&J. He said he didn’t want it, so I ate it. He was still sad, so I made him another PB&J. He didn’t want that one either, so I ate it. Anyway, Maska wants to be alone for a little while and we’re out of peanut butter.

yea i am thinking of trying to go for grocery manager at work purely for the fact i could get a big raise, 14.50$ rn and could get an increase to 17-18$ if i get it, or im thinking of maybe going to the public library
ye, just wrapping up them and will probably have them up tomorrow, nice nice, oo nice more sacrifice deaths, aww...poor gal she didnt deserve any of that she just wanted out of the cult, damn though **** third wife so deserved that she dies, maska though damn he cant catcha break he deserves a nice break after he leaves, if he does join depending on could be after nekosh joins, nekosh would probably offer to keep an eye on maska cause maska was one of the people they respected, that they might at least fight for maska to be on the somniel or offer to be at the camp they put maska at
mhm, so they kinda are like gray area horrible parents

Also Ralston would be doing that in the video he would be dumb enough not to realize he's being told to quiet down through signals, cause only people that ever did it were his parents and it was done verbally so he never learned you can tell someone to be quiet through means of signals

Getting a raise sure sounds good so it's definitely worth trying to go for grocery manager. If you do try then I hope you get it. But the other option sounds good too Yea, so now we have at least two successful rituals. Levia still gets to do the first of course. I think Avani might do hers some time after Maéva got prevented from performing one. One or two shrines after that maybe She really doesn't but that's just what anyone trying to get out of the cult will have to expect. Especially anyone of such importance. And yup, third wife really gets what she deserves. It's a shame Askaval kills her swiftly because she deserves to suffer first. But can't blame them either for wanting to kill her as quickly as possible I think even if Maska leaves with the others he'll get to catch a break, especially if the rest of the group tells the other Followers about that mission. He'll get some time off from missions, will be banned from combat training for a while unless he promises not to overwork himself, and Ivora will have a small chat with Maska's siblings and give them some instructions on how to deal with the ones from that group who just stood by and let Evîn torment him like that. And in the next few days some "accidents" occur that kill the worst ones and humiliate (as in, no one will be able to respect them ever again) the slightly better ones. Ivora will also see to it that Maska doesn't try to hurt himself since he thinks he needs to punish himself for being pretty much useless on the previous mission and because he dared to feel sorrow at his little sister's death. As if the beating Evîn gave him hadn't been enough. So yea, Ivora will be sure to tell him that he's been doing great so far and that no one can reasonably blame him for anything but Maska still thinks he's a failure, that Talia's death shouldn't bother him if he's a truly loyal Follower, that he's too old to still be having panic attacks and flashbacks from that incidents with those Brodians eight years ago and especially that he should be over that stuff by now. He'll still listen to Ivora though because he respects her and because getting praise or validation from the Fell Child herself is a big deal to him. So he's not gonna disobey and disappoint her by still going ahead and hurting himself But I still vastly prefer the other option. The squad not letting him leave in the first place and just taking him to the Somniel. They act like they're taking him captive but once they're at the Somniel it becomes clear that he's not really their prisoner as they let him walk around freely, give him a place to sleep and tell him he can either join them for meals or just get some food after they're finished in case he wants to eat alone. He probably gets to stay for a while and whenever the squad goes on some missions they just leave a few behind to keep an eye on him aside from just Nekosh. Just so the snow leopard doesn't have to watch the kid alone in case he does try to steal or damage something. Surprisingly he never even tries. Only after they let him go and he goes back to Elusia does he realize that he could have tried to steal a ring or some supplies and he's angry at himself for having gotten so comfortable with that place and Ralston's squad that stealing from them never occurred to him. And like I said, when he sees them again at the final battle he realizes he can't fight against them because he no longer sees them as his enemy but he also can't fight for them because actively turning his back on the Followers would mean he no longer has a purpose in life and he doesn't want that either. So yea, the kid won't be fighting for too long because he just can't fully support either side and because everything that's going on is distressing to him. Taran, Kyren or maybe even one of our good guys will probably have to get him to a relatively safe area (maybe where the squad also drags their injured teammates to so they can protect them?), a bit away from all the fighting, because whether he's breaking down crying, having a shutdown or freezing up in terror none of these are things that would be safe to do in the middle of a battle field But I swear that will be the last time I'm mean to him. Whatever he does after that, he will finally get a much happier life. Either getting to live on one of those islands or maybe travelling all of Elyos, not settling down anywhere for real as he has an issue with each of the kingdoms but also not wanting to leave the continent either. He would definitely want to do some good things to atone for his actions as a Follower. Taking down bandits and other baddies, helping out in some villages that got damaged during the war, stuff like that. He also wouldn't be alone in this, some of my good guys would be willing to accompany him if he's cool with it
And yup, that's where they belong. Though the jackal twins sometimes kinda wish that their parents were actually bad because then their attitude towards Tacari would be easier to accept. But nope, the parents are otherwise good to their kids and they don't hate their son, they just think they know better and keep trying to reassure him that whatever he does, it's totally fine for a girl to do that. They genuinely think they're being helpful and acting in his best interest. Yup, they definitely suck even if they don't meant to. The kids definitely hate how ignorant their parents are Nice, Ralston really being stupid enough xD I can totally imagine this happening during a battle. The squad splits up into two or three parts, they bait an enemy with one team and let the other two groups then run in when the enemy least expects it. And Ralston ruins it because he doesn't understand that the person who's leading the other ambush group is trying to signal him and his team to make no sound xD And oooh, interesting! Are you actually considering doing this or is this just an idea you won't use? It does sound fun and all of our good guys would hate you for this

Marceau, about Ralston: Why does the fate of humanity always end up in the hands of an idiot? Tacari: I'm having a big get-together. Kirat: Who's getting together? Tacari: My butt and that couch. Now leave. Kerah: How much money do you have? Ralston: 69 cents. Kerah: Oh, you know what that means! *winks* Ralston, tearing up: I don't have enough money for chicken nuggets... Tacari: Pretty sure my soulmate is a bag of gummy worms. Keahi: I just ate a whole bag of those, no joke. Tacari: You piece of shit that was the love of my life. Javor: Am I too good-looking to have friends?
Askaval: Well, at least I... something... you... insult... Bijou: That's... not a good comeback. Korith: Actually, that's pretty good for Askaval.
Fáelán: Why do you always sit with your snacks? Tacari: I like to be close to my friends. *at night* Fáelán: Do you always sleep with your friends? Tacari, with his snacks next to him on the bed: It's complicated!
Askaval, playing GTA: I just stabbed a parking attendant! Where’s the button to turn myself in?
Fiore: Oh, I get it... It's just like in chess. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your king to win. Maéva: That's exactly how you lose in chess. Genie: I am the Genie and will grant you any– Maska: I wish to immediately take your place. Genie: Really?! I was trapped in there for ten thousand years of isolated slumber! Maska: I know. Nekosh, leaving the Followers: Goodbye, everyone! I’ll remember you all in therapy. Nekosh: Hey, thanks for doing the dishes. You need help with anything? Maska: My life. Nekosh: ...I mean cleaning up. Maska: Well, my life needs to be cleaned up. Maska: Hey, you look sad. Askaval: I am sad. Maska: Well just always know that I really hate you. Askaval: I thought you were going to say something nice. Maska: No, I just hate you, so... Maska: I hate myself. Rakesh: As a fellow emo I respect your self hatred but as your brother I love you and don't want you to feel that way. Kerah and Ajax: *hug each other* Ember: What kind of cold, heartless person would break apart such a loving relationship? Ember: I would.

More stuff. This time it's our Brodian trio and Astor
Astor: If you ever feel stupid or weak or powerless, just remember that I am not. I am out there, very dangerous, and I am looking for you. Good luck.
Aryuna: When surrendering, Calais is to hand the sword over HILT first.
Astor: Wait you like me? For my personality? Aryuna: I know, I was surprised too.
Aryuna, watching Calais do something stupid: Kerah, you're officially only the second highest risk here. Kerah: Hell yeah! I'm gonna— Aryuna: Don't finish that sentence, you'll move back up.
Calais: English is CRAZY. Oregano is both a spaghetti leaf topping and a form of paper art! Aryuna: What is this "paper art" you speak of? Calais: That shit where you make cranes and stuff out of folded paper! Aryuna: ... Calais.
Calais: It’s beautiful out here. Kerah: And quiet. Astor: Too quiet. Kerah: Did we lose someone? *cut to Aryuna with a bear in a headlock*
Aryuna: Kerah told me that brown is just navy orange, and I have never been more disappointed with something I agree with.
Calais: If you water water, it grows. Aryuna: ...What. Kerah: They've got a point.
Aryuna: Ugh, crushes are so dumb. Astor: I know. Whenever I’m near the person I like I just start acting stupid. Aryuna: But you’re always acting stupid? Astor: ... Astor: Yeah, don’t think about that too hard.
Calais, to Aryuna: ...And I need you and Kerah to help, and by "help" I mean "do everything."
Aryuna: According to the footage here, you shook the vending machine and when the shake alarm went off, you punched the glass and broke it. Astor: …I was hungry.
Kerah, pointing at Astor: Are they a Freak (derogatory)? Kerah, pointing at Aryuna: Or a Freak (affectionate)? Calais: Why not both? Kerah, to Calais: You’re so right, Freak (double-edged sword)!
