Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Phorm @Cerulean (the takeaway: tigers know not a damn thing about the chemistry of bismuth-- apparently the salts are actually good for your digestion-- well fuck me for trying i guess ;D ;D ;D )

@Phorm @Cerulean

o/` Ye gods my roast is luminous
o/` With glimmering display
o/` I'm so glad that I stuffed it good
o/` With bismuth salts today
o/` It's probably a little toxic
o/` Please don't eat the breast
o/` And I'm just a bit suspicious of the rest

@Soreth Daft Pink.

this image has been haunting me for days

i feel like i have been confronted with my true self or the beginning of a prophecy

i have no idea who or what this/these entities is/are, but I MUST know them and learn their ways

god i wish puzzlebox were still going strong

@Soreth @Phorm @mmsword Is this a Pinkwater reference?

@Soreth @Phorm @mmsword Ah! So it's very close to the Jon Mulaney method, except replace the booze with a poppy seed bagel, Jersey[1], and a Dorzbledge. Gotcha!

[1] Are you SURE you didn't mean Jinsy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-DM_1GZzEE

@Phorm @Soreth @mmsword Shucks, ma'am. n.n;

@001zlnv Yeah aleatoric stuff would work absolutely brilliant with this too, that's a good idea!

@Soreth @Phorm @mmsword

Wait. No. You willam-on having-cut be-upon-whence with 250 grams of thiotimoline? Is that right?

Sorry, I'd look it up in Streetmentioner's Handbook, but my copy willam on-to-be have-since-publishing, unsince about another 270 years to the right.

(What can I say, I arrived from 30th-century Mars on the equivalent of your Earth Megabus. We took a weird route. It gotting on-were complicated. -__- )

@Soreth @Phorm @mmsword Darling, YOU"RE cut with 250 grams of thiotimoline.

@Phorm @Soreth @mmsword "Hello, Madrigal? Do y'all still do home deliveries?"

@xinjinmeng I KNEW it. 💛💛💛​​​

God damn it, I have a PC I NEED to play in a supers campaign and zero prospect. And it's one that I wouldn't dare spring on a newbie GM because it's admittedly REALLY EXTRA.

It's a Batman-style detective who is stuck in his own chronic multiversal mini-Crisis.

Every single session he's replaced by another version from another era and style. Different costume, same basic secret identity, historically scaled a la Wandavision.

One session, he's the Wacky Golden Age Kid-Friendly TV version of himself and he can't stop getting the team into pie fights.

The next, he's the grim AMC Prestige Drama version and he's in debt to the mob-- which he also secretly, amnesiacally runs. He's Very Complicated.

The next, he's written by someone with an axe to grind and gets to have a One More Day experience[1].

He retains his memories. He knows this is happening. He knows he's different day to day, but he feels exactly the same. He can't remember what year he was born, and he's pretty sure he remembers at least twice as many birthdays as the his age on his ID.

And it all fucks his shit up something fierce. There's one thing they all have in common: the later in the timeline the character is from-- for any meta-level of "timeline"-- the darker and sadder he is.

The GM chooses the multiverse/genre/writer/era/theme for each session and I totally remake the character to suit it. I get no choice in the selection whatsoever.

@Soreth Huh. @mmsword? @Phorm? Can you make anything good out of a housefly and some crystals?

@Austin_Dern This is probably how @anthracite feels about living with me most of the time.

(I might never have mentioned this, even to her, but I'm a quarter plush on my grandfather's side. Direct descendant of St. Hobbes! 🐯​)

or maybe i just miss acid

a magical realist novel that's nothing but a reincarnated housefly's recollections of the time she landed on a piece of John Lennon's blotter acid and tripped balls amongst the Beatles for days (i.e. most of the rest of her life)

most of the book would have absolutely nothing to do with the Beatles nor with being a fly and would mostly be rambling digressions about theosophy, crystalline topology, group theory, Damien Hirst, and the history of stage magic

it was really good acid you see

Mom called, stepdad has a "slight chance" of heading home tonight. It's a bummer because obviously it means they only think they have a slight chance of fixing it, but I guess the fact they're even *contemplating* releasing him is probably a sign he's not at death's door or anything...

*shrug*

@xinjinmeng I really wish CW had picked that pilot up. April Winchell was just amazing as Roux, really committed. Though I do feel like Elaine Stritch was somewhat miscast as XJM. Had been hoping for Jessica Walter. 😽​

(This reminds me of a hypothetical question I've been meaning to ask: do the Gang of Four have their own huánglóng? ​)
