I have no idea what any of this means, but just assume the other characters threw An at the bad guys as cannon fodder and you'll have a pretty accurate summarization of her character.


Thank you. Now I know, that I am not the only one, who can't make head or tail of what Novaya says... And just for that, I'll either have my people make the effort of bringing An along or throw her at the bad guys with enough force to defeat him (or her). Whichever you prefer. ; )

And I'm.drunk right now! So I guess it all evens out. I dont understand what a 90s DOS game has to do with ships turned into waifus, but maybe Im not in the most appropriate state to understand.

I remember one of the training missions in Arma 2 had you mounting a machine gun and shooting a bunch of gps controlled boats that were roughly the same size as An, so this isn't too far off... Poor gal.

rota has a violent and overwhelming urge to protect an given that the entire point/theme i was trying to go for with the WW2-era ship-spirits/egregores was that the survivors were the first to recognize that they were more than mere tools that could be disposed of

Indeed. But, she'll prove her worth one day. Hopefully.

Persephone would love to meet her, for sure. But, not in this matter, I hope.

We'll indeed see. Maybe not this time around, but maybe in the future. Right now, she'll have to deal with someone building a Sand Harbour Fort. Serious business that is. ; )

She'll do what she can. I often worry my characters become little more than "Oh woe is me my life is so hard!!!" tropes. For the most part, life in Aaaaaa just kinda sucks, so its easy to subconsciously write them all in a loop. But it'll get better, eventually.

It IS serious business - She better build the best goddamn sand castle this island has ever seen, or else she'll get to watch her precious Aaaaaa be glassed from orbit..

Neither the Confederation nor Teienai (my two FT canons) are present, so she is alright in the books of her fellow sandcastle builders... however, that is, what they know - what An knows is a different question... ; )

Good evening, AHSCA,
short question: Is Otome addressing anyone in particular or should I throw at her whoever I find would make an interesting conversation partner?
Also, poor Arashi... maybe she could stumble across Fascination, Rosemary and Searc? What do you think, Cartoonia?

mfg,

Wonderful. Problem is, there is also a fish by the name of koi. But that aside, it is completely immaterial for my people what koikaze means in Japanese, as in Okunaratsuran (which may or may not be Google Translator Japanese ; )), it means Fish Wind.

That is completely fine - and if it is tomorrow, then it is tomorrow. RL is always more important then RP. I hope, that the stuff you had to take care of could be resolved well, too.
