Heheh, I mostly went with that because the mental image is hilarious, and I doubt anything we do to help or hinder Ismeal would stop him from doing what he wanted to do. Also, it honestly seems kind of realistic. We're terrified and want it to all stop, but also incredibly, overwhelmingly hungry.

Algid posted:That was Ahab, Ishmael was was the narrator and the overall point of the story was that Ahab pursuing vengeance against a nonsapient creature like a whale of all things was pretty stupid. Ahab is basically obsessed with Moby Dick to the point of doing things like listening to insane prophets and anointing a harpoon with the blood of his subordinates in preparation for hunting Moby Dick. Ahab tracks down Moby Dick even though other ships warn him away, since it's a huge badass whale and you can just hunt smaller whales for profit instead of pursuing vengeance against an animal of all things. In the end Moby Dick kills everyone except Ishmael cause it's a loving whale and a bunch of dudes keep on trying to stick harpoons in it despite the fact that it repeatedly kills them. So in the end Ishmael is the only one that survives because the giant whale that just wants to be left alone was pissed off and sank the boat. yeah sure sure that's all true and stuff but mostly I wanted to make a joke about hanging out with a guy who's name is pretty much Ishmael, a character who happens to be in a book at least nominally about hunting a sea creature.

That's the last time I vote to pray to any gods! Atheist emo Og from now on. There were no old folk in the village, which could mean that Asherah has a particular sweet tooth for the elderly. But of course the sensible vote is plan PandaPropaganda.

It's hard to play this as an Atheist since we literally had the choice to be a heavenly being at the start. We know they exist as an omnipotent consciousness for our character. I find myself wanting to disbelieve in any of the gods and do things without them but then I realise that they literally have proof that some of these stories are not just stories.

Option: Other Eat our own skeleton, then throw it up: Hold the gate. I'm impressed we didn't seem to learn our lesson last CYOA. Other than that, I'm kind of sad this got moved from GBS, just having it here makes the atmosphere feel much more serious RP and there's a been a LOT more posts to that effect. Which isn't necessarily bad but just seems to be making the arguments worse as we get more invested into aspects. I dunno.

Oh yeah of course these gods do exist in this world. However all I meant was that we are constantly presented with options to pray to El/Asherah/Sky Giants/Great Fish. If there is an option where I can choose a proactive solution, I'm choosing that. I feel that all this praying has not really accomplished anything for us (you could argue that El calmed the forest, but I'm not convinced by that).

You continue to soar through the night's sky. WHUMP! and a crash like thunder as Ishamal strikes at you again with one hand, his other hand holding your ankle. Your teeth rattle but like the other blows, it seems to hit the air and cause no injury. You cry out as the wind rushes past your ears and the hung-  ...and the hunger gnaws at your every sense. You are at least a thousand feet in the air and still rising at this point, possibly more, which in another universe, might use a hundred story building as a frame of reference. "I AM SORRYYYYY!! I JUST WANTED TO HEEEEEEEELP!" you cry out. Whether or not Ishamal understands you is unclear, but he speaks again and you can FEEL his words as if you could reach out and touch them, they seem to have taken on a weight to them. Wherever you are going, you are flying there with your stomach facing the ground and your face forward. You are tall for your age, at just under 5 feet tall. The old man, is slightly more than 7 feet tall and weighs significantly more than you, though his weight does not seem to be affecting your speed at all, in fact, you seem to be speeding up as you gain height. He seems to be trying to change your orientation somehow, or maybe his? You do not struggle as he does this and you do not try to shake him off. He now has one arm wrapped about your mid section to support himself and he has his other arm raised above his head, above your body. "CLOSE YOUR EYES AND COVER YOUR EARS." he says. You again understand them perfectly and almost feel as if you could reach out and TOUCH them! In fact, maybe you could and you are SO GODS DAMNED HUNGERRRRRRRRY!!!!! HUNGERRRRRYYYYYY!!!!!!! You have to eat SOMETHING! ANYTHING!! You could eat every tree below you and still not be full, every thing in the forest, every fish in the sea, every grain of sand and every ounce of dirt would not put a dent in the hole you feel in your gut. You... (Mini vote, next update in a few hours) OPTION A. Sweet merciful something of somewhere! Try to resist the hunger! Close your eyes and cover your ears! OPTION B. HUNGEEEEEEEEEEEERY!!!!!!!!! Try to reach out and eat his words! You can FEEL them as if they had weight, YOU HAVE TO EAT!!!! OPTION C. HUNGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! I HAVE TO EAT!!! ISHAMAL! NUM NUM NUM NUM NUM!!!! OPTION D. After having carefully weighed the pros and the cons of your situation and after having conducted a thorough analysis, you have come to the conclusion it is the optimal decision to begin eating your left hand. OPTION E. On second thought, make that, the right hand. Diogines fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Jun 16, 2013 |
