Haven't seen @DannyTheDaikon and @Azure_Fog in while
*difficult to describe agonizing Daikon noises*
*sounds of the renovation in the background*
It will end... one day... it will be over....

Hey, can you add this to Alf's glossary, and maybe simplify it too? Thank you.

- If two factions were to fight each other, he'd pick the one that has more morale and ethics. If there was none, he chose not to get involved in the fight. A -> Eliminating B | B -> Destroying the reactor for evident evil purpose = Alf sides with A. A -> Preventing B from dominating a land because they want the land | B -> Trying to conquer the land for resources = Alf's a bystander.

- He'll never kill innocents. But for those folks who are in the gray zone, they better pray that they're valuable in his eyes. If not, may god put mercy on their soul.

- He can change sides with anyone at any time. Convince him enough and he might escape a fight with you. Remember, he's a curious individual. Anything happening can get him to question something, and he wants the answer. Try to make an explanation simple, to the point, and logical to him.

- One last thing. If he ever finds himself without S.A.M, a hidden ability will instantly activate upon the removal of S.A.M off of him. The ability is called "There is only science and common sense". Anything that poses a threat to him through the means of anything unexplainable by science or rationality (Magik, mana, quirks, powers, abilities, etc) will be nullified/unusable. When this happens, the only way to hurt/kill him is to fight head-on or use A GUN. Magic gun does not work, as it contains magic (obviously).

Done. I moved Alf to section 6 of the glossary as I reached the character limit.

{ooc} neato! can't wait! we've got a couple ideas still brewing for a chapter or two, though since we're prioritizing other projects, it may take a little while to come to fruition.

hopefully each new attempt is better than the last.

there is a multipart arc in the works that will tie up a few loose ends that have been bugging us, and a few observation logs of alternate realities with intertwining plots. ambitious? yes, but that's kinda hwo the story is writing itself. so far. subject to change. the characters int he actual plot itself will mostly be toned down human versions of the OP characters, akin to nerfing lv 20 adventurers to lv 10 or so in DnD for a oneshot so that everyone can get a chance to shine. lv 1-9's will be boosted to lv 10 so all will be on a relative similar power level, minus certain key staff members, who will retain their OPness for plot armor reasons.

this will be an attempt to write a pseudo-murder mystery. the main plot will take place in one of the endless floors of the library dungeon, in a train, because trains are cool and we've always wanted to write a murder mystery on a train. everyone listed in the glossary will get a mention. not all will survive, because of the aforementioned murder. Pretty much the same premise as any other imposter amongus story. big project, so it's being tackled in small bits at a time, and will hopefully be easier to read than my last stuff.

we've got plenty of time on our hands with the unwanted end of our employment soon. gotta do something to fill the hours between responses to requests for interviews, might as well practice writing, and this is as good an excuse as any. love this project because it allows one to be experimental and attempt different things. we've learned a lot in the past while, and want to try putting it to good use.

think we recently reached a year on the forums too.

{character return}
the octopus looked at you and spoke, their words entering your mind directly.
[words are being hand-assembled in our molecular factories, and production will be uncertain. let your ATOMS spin true.]
they scribbled down some words and numbers on a sheet of notebook paper and passed it over to you.
[here are the answers to tomorrow's pop quiz. use them wisely.]
with a soft wet slurp, the octopus inverted itself as it shrank, and vanished into a pinpoint of light.

...

"Well, that just happened," you snarked, and grinned smugly at where you imagined a camera would be if this were a show or an cartoon strip. by complete coincidence, you got it right.
