This might be something we want to share, that was a pretty scary dream.

Let's share it with Papa and Mama. That didn't feel like a normal dream.

We're metal aligned. We need to see how we can draw more metal for our bones/fingernails like our brother. I want to ask pops how he got metal for a beard and how we can try to grow our own metal weaponry.

This. You can bet a 4 year old will go to someone and be like "So and so says I can't do this, but I really can, watch!"

This makes sense.

The other approach of "because the storm is coming, see, it's an allegory and we need to warn our people of impending danger!" is lost on me, because... well, we're loving 4.

That doesn't really have anything to do with what I was saying, but change sister to aunt if it makes you feel any better.
(:ssh: Lots of children have adult or near adult siblings. It's not about the people involved's actual ages.)


Doesn't really feel like this place has much communal child rearing.

Pumie basically ran into Mina and then we found out that our family was on good terms, we weren't really introduced by Mama or Papa to her in any way.

LLSix, do we have aunts/uncles? Are we aware of extended family?

a jump of a few years after we wrap up current plot threads isn't a bad call just due to the limitations inherent in us being four, but it's not like what we're seeing now isn't interesting in its own way so I'm not overly bothered.

I try to avoid having votes over stuff where one choice is clearly the best. So when I get write-ins like Mr. Prokosch that kick the vote back to the me, it leaves me in a difficult position. If I did a good job of coming up with options then I genuinely don’t know which is optimal. I tried to honor the spirit of the write-in by considering what effect that kind of flattery would have but still didn’t know what lesson to pick next so I rolled the die again and got Dream Mirror which made me pretty happy because I thought it was a cool idea. I ended up having Minaro teach you that and stretch out the lessons a little bit thanks to the flattery. I hope that satisfies at least part of the spirit of the vote.

I feel this is certainly fair. Well handled.

DJ: Mina can teach us some useful skills. I'm hoping she'll be a better teacher than Amiya, though we could probably work with her as well. Spend most of our time practicing our techniques from the Elder.

e: I missed practicing the technique from the Elder. Absolutely do that, and also swap lessons with Felero. Dreamkeepers sound properly esoteric.

I do like the idea of making illusions and flinging around metal shards Magneto meets Professor X-style.

I'd be more excited to spend time with Mama after the tourney. Going out to gather with Mama would be lovely if we can supplement potionmaking.

poo poo, we don't know what skills Mama might have. Maybe we could bring our Felero and pay back some of the help he's given us.

Based on how thick the (metaphorical) stench of blood was, I think this guy's a cannibal. We were picking up on some grade A Killing Intent.

A cannibal? Maybe he's just eaten wild game and doesn't cook it.

Either way, gently caress the polecat. Whatever the option was to tackle spirit companion could seriously backfire; ever put a cat on its back? We're not exactly wearing much right now. A housecat could hurt us, this thing is going to gently caress us up.

B. We should double-team the human. I'm less worried about the companion than I am about any hidden abilities from the human. We know we can coordinate and communicate with ours, let's hope they're not there yet and we can leverage that advantage.

Don't chase the polecat, make them both come to us by refusing to move. Act like our arm is hurt worse than it is... then grab the girl when she tries to push us, and spin around until she's dizzy and we can push her out!

If the companion is tossed, but the human remains in the circle, do we have to then fight the human or are they both disqualified?
