Just found this thread, it's brilliant. Really appreciate the voting system too, I can't wait to randomly supercede everyone's 'get swole' votes with Mama's beauty tips. :sparkles:

Seriously, read it you want C.C, head for the edge and try to trick him out, either mirror technique or counter charge and jump out of the way hoping his momentum carries him out, have Wojo ready to push him out if he's close but not out.
Then team up on the bear.


Yeah, do this. If it doesn't immediately work, run away. CJ

CA It's embarassing that we need the help of others (individualism seems to be a Silver Bear thing), but we're grateful that we have it, because otherwise we'd probably get beaten more often!

M Let's try to make friends again. Getting associated with Decavo any more isn't a good look, and it would be nice to have a cross-clan friendship like our parents have obviously managed to accomplish.

Is there any chance that you could talk more about the world/system we're using? Everyone keeps referring to this being a 'Cultivation' world, with expected normalities regarding that, but I have no idea what those normalities are, I just like being involved with a cool story. No worries if you don't want to; I'm pretty lazy, and I'm sure there's a Cultivation megathread in Trad Games that I just haven't been othered to look for. :)

Buggering hell. Did not expect this kind of update after the shopping trip update.

1. Let's just cry. This is way more complicated than we'd thought it would be, and how could we have known the consequences of our actions if we've never had to deal with a situation like this before? I don't know how else our parents would expect us to respond.

I, as part of Pumie's decision making process, was split between ignoring Decavo because his situation is complicated, and beating him up because he sucks. I don't know how other people were thinking during this period. Did you guys want to mend their relationship? I'll probably change this vote if someone has a good answer.

I think we might as well try to fight for our !exile. I was tempted by the apologize and hope for a better time to exlie, but as Papa said:


Figure a shot at no exile is better than certain exile even if we can plan for it.

Yep, I agree with this. It seems like the only response really considering the other options almost seem like certain death.

Maybe Pumie can ask Felero's family to help us out with some magic potion or something.

Bright idea 1: get Mama to show us how to make a light spear with the crystal. Wait until Decavo beserk charges us and impale him with a suddenly manifesting spear.

Bright idea 2: talk to Decavo before the match, tell him this is unfair and not what we wanted, and he owes us one. Try to convince him to step out of the ring, or at least get in his head.

I like this too.

I also think we should ask Felero's family for advice/free stuff. Would Minaro give us any advice? It all depends on how much time we have really.

Oh man, I did wonder if the dream was prophetic, I never thought it would be about today though! I interpreted us becoming the eel as us adopting foreign ways, and when we come back to the shore, everything we once knew looked different from a different perspective. Like, a long term thing. :p

Now I'm thinking... Wotjeo being washed away is quite concerning. Unless he is our dantian in the latter half of the dream? Maybe we should ask him if he has any bright ideas, or if and how he interepreted the dream.

Not sure about the small lifeless piece with four figures on it who kind of sound like they're walking on stilts, or the little sea creatures feeding of of us... We turn our back to the storm in the dream, and storms are usually violent. Maybe we can beat Decavo through nonviolence? And the four figures are Decavo's parents and his aunts/uncles, who are standing on a lifeless thing because they are dead? I have no idea.

Remember Elder Minaro has a forcefield amulet he lends to promising students to protect them from bullies who would interrupt their training. We are still a promising student and being exiled would interrupt our training. Aracato tripling the favor he asked of Minaro probably pissed him off.

E This tournament sucks, we just want to go home with Mama and Papa. That whole experience was awful.

I figured we'd probably use multiple dream mirrors when we received all that spare madra from Minaro, it's like, the only thing we can do with it. Never interpreted the dream like that though. I can't help but think that we're being played by some Polecat dream manipulator who has it out for either Decavo or Arcato. I mean, it's a lucky thing either way, but I woder if something is going on.

Remember that a 6 year old child, when asked who their favorite is, has a very good chance of picking a favorite. We don't have the mindset to be polite and decline to choose, especially in our dreams!
I was going to vote C before I read this. I think there's some truth here. "Who do you love the most?" is kind of like "What's your favourite colour?" to a 6 year old. We don't have the social maturity to understand what people mean when they say 'love', even if we might be able to feel it.

Voting A. We love Wotjeo the most, but out of Papa and Mama- Papa's the best. He's funny and strong.

I am really enjoying this story. Did you roll three times and get C each time? Because if so, that's amazing.

There are only two Healers in the clan, and Healer Curada is the senior of the two. Properly it should be Elder Curada, but she prefers Healer, and since she’s an Elder, no-one argues with her about it.
Does this not make sense, or am I just really sleepy?


Going to vote C for now. Though I would really like to vote for E, I feel like our mam's hinting that we would be afforded more freedom under an apprenticeship. Plus, maybe we'll be able to hang out with Felero sometimes.

I can't believe Bato's gang are still hunting after us, and that they're so bad at it. They must be being directed by someone. Actively scouring the caves in search of Pumie for all this time can't still be interesting. I could understand doing it every now and again if they're bored, but it seems like it happens pretty frequently. She's not even in school anymore!

6. Y We still trust Mama and Papa the most, and it's exciting being treated like an adult!

Not sure about the rest.

Regarding Papa's question about brothers or sisters, tell him that if we get another brother as brilliant as Wotjeo that would be phenomenal, but make sure Wotjeo is okay with it first. Did dad ask him?

Edit: Whoops, missed the update.

Needles is a strange choice, I feel like we could have started with something which doesn't require so much precision and has a bit more bulk. Though I feel like our time sneaking aroundcompliments our new throwing star-esque weapon. :ninja:

Not that meeting new people isn't cool, but we've got a pretty big cast of characters already, and adding another to occupy update space seems like overkill. I guess I'd be down with a 'yes, but offscreen/have it be done with GM's discretion' or something?

I feel similarly to this, but I kind of feel like I can just forget about most of these kids who Pumie has decided to help because I largely don't care about them. That's not to say that they're written in poorly, but that they were introduced quite suddenly and I feel like their future prominence depends upon future interactions which we may or may not decide to do. LLSix has given pretty much every character a name, but it doesn't mean that they're going to be or are important. :)

It was obviously a prank!
This contact could lead to an adventure where we can go on a trip outside the caverns which sounds exciting.

As for what we do: We get hurt to much. We know that as we get bigger, we draw more Madra into ourselves. What if we try and do this now to make ourselves stronger? We have some knowledge of our body from our healer training, so lets see if we can infuse our flesh and muscles (and maybe bones) with metal madra to make ourselves harder to hurt! I mean, what could go wrong?

This sounds fun too, let's do this!

I don't have an opinion about these sorts of social votes with all of the side characters, I usually just skip over them to be honest. Grouping them might be slightly more interesting for me, but I feel like there are clearly posters interested in this aspect of the game/story, so they should get preferential treatment in regard to these characters.
