Hmmm. A specialized harness that allows for the attachment of additional mechanical arms. But by what means would one control them that require no permanent commitment or risk the wearer´s mind in some way?

“Colleagues considered me some kind of annoying busybody when I was younger. However, all I ever did was point out their lack of discipline so can that truly be considered an insult?”

I see our heroes´ attention will soon be turned toward Garlemald again... I should prepare the necessary information they need then.

Does ´Slime Nael´ count or would you and your ilk still consider that too tame?

Allagans.

Of course. I too merely got the one I had to visit the most so far.

Which one of you put the idea of baking an enormous cake into Allie´s head? WHO?

Yes, believe it or not, even the empire had standards when it came to brutality, even if its inherent design made it easy to circumvent those. But it is still better that you escaped, of course. Like many stories I heard of the displaced. Have you reclaimed your parents’ home after the -

//Just imagine Licia hitting Cid with the "Your father would be proud of you" and he just turns around with the biggest "Why´d you have to go and say that" face ever.

"Yes, before you ask, the miniature of the G-Warrior being sold as merchandise was Jessie´s idea..."

I see. My parents were political opponents of the at the time newly crowned emperor Solus, so he had them assassinated in a way that made it look like an accident, as well as raising me as a ward of the state out of sheer mockery for them. A fact I have only found out recently, fifty years of -

Am I… Nosey? I have been told that by several sources now.

I do hope the imperial army gets reformed into a more ´honest´ fighting force now that Garlemald no longer has to conquer at any cost. It is a weird thing to hear from the former director of weapons development but... No more morally questionable experiments.

I assume they were ´rebels´ or dissidents of some kind? That would be the only reason I can see for such drastic measures... Either way, my condolences. A child should not be made to go through such an experience.

Yes, that is what I was trying to get at. Your grievance seemed more personal.

Valid. It is hard to find an Ala Mhigan that cannot trace their woes back to the Black Wolf.

Correct. A shame we parents only ever grasp the damage we’ve done once it is too late… How were you wronged by him in particular, if I may ask?

As a mother I would say yes. As one who has now somewhat understands the perspective of the conquered, no.

Starlight preparations... [Typing on a magitek datapad] Getting all of them together at a table is going to be harder than any of these dishes...

//Should I make accounts for more of my OCs? I am thinking either Valeria/Valentine, my imperial born and raised to be a weapon assassin or Samira, my Dalmascan rebel and revolutionary.

[Post-Werlyt] "I know that you have installed a device somewhere in this arm that will restrain or even end me, should I step out of line. You would be stupid to not do so. And you know that I could disable such a device if I wanted to." "If you already know everything, why did you call me here?"

//Licia and Cid being a mood, love it…

One jug of black coffee, please… I am getting too old for this.

[5.0] "Gaius, I knew you would come here... Or should I say ´Shadowhunter´? This is not your doing, is it?" "Not yours either, I assume. Whoever did this may be beyond us both." "I would have no reason... You are after the Ascian, yes? You will find him in the throne room, wearing Zenos´ skin..."

"At the function" but nothing about this party is functional...

"I hate him so much" (they are in love, fuck on a regular basis and share custody of at least one child)

"Family - Through the ages" Antonius - Licia (30+ years before ARR) Antonius - Ivona - Licia (20 years before ARR) Nael - Licia - Ivona (5 years before ARR) Livia - Gaius - Allie - Ivonne - Licia - Akina (current)

Good luck.

//Mable LegendsZA and Licia would get along well... They´re honestly kinda the same character.

I suppose I can be quite an elusive partner too… There is simply too much work to be done. Enough that I may die in the process and still have much ahead of me…

//The hag now has her arm. One that doesn´t cause problems with other gear pieces.

//Look at this.

[Putting her shaded goggles on just in case.]

Hm, a part of me misses that red moon...

Scaeva...

[Immediate post-Werlyt] "Of course this is but the start of a long, tireless march... I suppose this is also where our paths diverge, I´m certain you will have me sent away on the next available airship..." "Not if you wish to stay. I know Allie would benefit greatly from your presence..." 1/3

I really does feel like entering a house on fire right now...

Tsk. I would have at least kept one back up. As ever, worthless are the plans without proper contingency...

//I forgot to post this: Nerva next to my main Garleans: Licia, Ivonne, Eula and Livia.

//This is Licia

[Absolutely going to town on a training dummy, alternating blows from her organic left arm and magitek right arm.]

//I love giving Licia all the "Nobody can tell if she is making a joke because of her dry delivery" energy in the world.

//I feel like I need to specify lore things about my characters on my rp accounts as well...

I suppose we must prepare for another round of Alexandrian nonsense.

[Has been quietly watching this situation unfold and is more than a little amused by it.]

…Where is Garlond when you need him?

Beware. I can use the sage’s tools for the application of shields and aetheric healing, I can recommend medicine for certain situations and even perform surgery if needed, but I am far from a licensed medical professional…

Admiral...
