[GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-19-2023 You're alone in your room, tuning your radio until you manage to get a signal. You are a transcriber, someone who contracts witches and entities via radio and documents them for various purposes. You've prepared everything for your little experiment: Caffine, your cloak and mask for protection, notepads to keep transcripts, tape recorders, and a handy little music player with bootlegs of otherworld tunes loaded. Your tribute sits nearby, a vessel for a entity to take form at any moment. And needless to say, you grab a bite. The radio hisses intensely. With a stir and fumble, the vessel mass takes frame as the entity's own form. ???: Thou has summoned me! ???: It's been a good bit since anyone has... ???: Now what could you possibly want with me? The entity looks at you directly. It's hard to say friend or foe but the threat level reads as low. You remove your protective mask to introduce yourself How would you describe yourself? Appearance: Name: Your Motive for summoning: Your Response/Introduction: RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-19-2023 Appearance: Gay Name: Gayle Your Motive for summoning: Gay Your Response/Introduction: Some company, perhaps. (and then wink) sorry como i want to be funny RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - AceOfNothing - 06-20-2023 Appearance: Casual but Classy Name: Gayle Your Motive for summoning: You haven't heard from a friend in a while and are worried about their safety, so you're trying to find an entity to help track them down Your Response/Introduction: We can get to that in a moment. I'm Gayle, please introduce yourself and your specialties. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - MarxzVulpez - 06-20-2023 Appearance: Armor Dragon/Shellback Chorosy Name: Gayle Reptile Whittaker Your Motive for summoning: there's some weird shit happening at the Numbers Station nearby that knocked out communications and wanted to see if I could get help contacting the outside Your Response/Introduction: Howdy, I need help RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-20-2023 You speak up. Gayle: I'm Gayle R. Whittaker. Gayle: I can get to that in a moment but first, introduce yourself and your specialties. ???: Me? Well if you're looking for a contract that's a bit of a problem! I don't sign with anyone unless I get to know them a bit first! ???: As for a name, haven't got one that's stuck. You can call me whatever you want. ???: So I have to repeat myself, why have you summoned me. You smile and try to sweet talk the entity. Gayle: I'm looking for a little help, and some company perhaps. You give a little wink. The entity is visibly impressed with your boldness. ???: This is new to me, keep talking. Gayle: Weird stuff's been going on since the number station nearby knocked out communications in the area. Gayle: And I have a important friend who I've lost contact because of that, I'm worried about them. Gayle: So maybe a certain entity in the room would be kind enough to help me out? ???: Maybe. Give me a good name and maybe a hot meal and I'll see what I can do. A good name and a hot meal, easy. You're surprised this is working. You have to have something good in the kitchen. Give the entity; A Name: A Meal as Tribute: RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Blue_Fox - 06-20-2023 Name: Brie Meal: Mac n' Cheese RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-20-2023 Name: Colby Meal: Mac n' Cheese RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - AceOfNothing - 06-20-2023 Name: Colbrie meal: Mac and Cheese is good but we need something else... Mac and Cheese and chicken thighs? Chips and salsa? Give them a little bit of an option RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - MarxzVulpez - 06-20-2023 Seconding Colbrie I also suggest spicy sausage and red sauce for the Mac to fancy it up RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-20-2023 Gayle: How's Colbrie sound? ???: I can work with that. Might take a bit to get used to it but it's a name for now. Gayle: Nice. So uh... let me lead the way. Colbrie: Oh? Gayle: Just come with me. Inviting a entity is always a tightrope but.. this one doesn't look dangerous. He follows you with curious eyes. You make your way to the kitchen with your recorder in your pocket. You have plenty of leftovers but it's all good eats so you should be fine. You slap together a plate with mac and cheese, a spicy sausage, and a little bit of chicken. You set it in the oven to reheat. Colbrie: Ah... reminds me of barbecue. Colbrie: You have one recently by any chance? Gayle: Recently, it's summer after all. Colbrie: Warm seasons are just like that, cooking outdoors. Least I'm told. Colbrie: You make that yourself? Gayle: Most of it. Colbrie: Most of it? Gayle: Mac and Cheese is from the market. Colbrie: That's fine... Gayle: So about those wares... Colbrie: I am getting to know you.. could open up shop. Colbrie: Though with your earlier stunt, I'm wondering how. You weren't very slick. Gayle: That depends on you. Colbrie: I'm not saying yes to anything but... Colbrie: If you were to take me out for a night... Colbrie: What are the details? Sweep me off my feet! Ah. Gotta charm this bastard. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - AceOfNothing - 06-20-2023 So this reminds you of barbecue, maybe there's something you'd like to experience? We could take a late night walk, see if any shops are open and do some window shopping, maybe try to find a bonfire? I'm sure you have some things you've wanted to see, let me be your guide. Anything within reason. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-20-2023 i can show you the NIGHTLIFE you look like the kind of entity to enjoy dancing im sorry i got us into this mess folks RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-20-2023 Gayle: Did say it reminds you of barbecue right? Little late for that but we can look around.  Gayle: See if shops are open, go windowshopping, maybe find a bonfire. Maybe the nightlife? You look like you enjoy dancing. Colbrie: Wait, are you actually asking me out now? I was looking more at a what if.. Colbrie: I should probably help you with your problem first but... Colbrie: I wouldn't mind keeping you company while we troubleshoot your problems... You finish up with the oven and place the plate down in front of him. Though his face is static, you can see the flicker of his flames more than satisfied right now. Gayle: So, services. Colbrie: Food's going to get cold..... Gayle: Then make it quick. Colbrie: Okay... I'm a entity of living flame. I can manipulate energy into living flame. Colbrie: I can also temporarily turn organic beings into flame safely. Colbrie: I have to wear this outfit to keep it all under control. It's harmless most of the time but if I get too excited it might spread. Colbrie: Anyone under my contract also becomes fireproof. Potentially handy for well.... He presses his sleeves together gently. Colbrie: Holding. Colbrie: No pressure of course. This weird bat scarecrow has never seen a warm touch in his life. Colbrie: I also can grant flight! So that's potentially useful to getting around. Colbrie: Admittedly I don't know how useful that all is to your current goals though. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-20-2023 handholding sounds Very ideal if we're going out on the town... if you help me find my friend, i'll give you a night you won't forget. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-21-2023 You reach out. Gayle: Hand holding sounds ideal, help me find my friend and I'll give you a night you won't forget. The bat entity squeaks at that, taking your hand excitedly with their sleeve. Colbrie: Well, you mentioned a number's station.. Colbrie: I can track the signal with the help of another entity. We could figure out why it's jamming things. Gayle: Can you? Colbrie: Mm. Bring your stuff over. You walk back to the other room to grab your radio. Colbrie takes the moment to pause and eat some of the food you've given him. He seems plenty happy. Gayle: So what do we need to do? Colbrie: Set the channel frequency to one adjacent to the number station.. Gayle: That it? Colbrie: The closer the signal, the more tapped in. Going straight to the source could be dangerous, need all the protection you can get. Colbrie: And as much as I can protect you, I think we need a second hand here... You tune in, picking up someone really quickly. You can see them faintly, fishing around the kitchen for material to take as a vessel. Gayle: I see them. Colbrie: What do you see? Gayle: I see..... You rush to grab a item from your kitchen to give up as tribute. Pick something to sacrifice and imagine their form. What is the form of the entity approaching? RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-21-2023 sacrifice a butcher's knife and they are a fucked up cat sorry como i'm chaos mode RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - AceOfNothing - 06-21-2023 Cookie cutter but keep the fucked up cat RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Blue_Fox - 06-21-2023 sacrifice tablecloth and they are now a soft creature RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Pichi2214 - 06-21-2023 a fancy fork with leaf engravings on the handle RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-21-2023 You toss the following toward the radio's summoning radius: A kitchen knife A cookie cutter A tablecloth And a fancy fork. Your second entity appears with a less than amused expression. Maybe you did this wrong. ???: My buddy, my pal, please. ???: Please tell me you didn't use a knife for tribute. Gayle: Uh.. ???: Yeah you, bud. ???: You summoned me yeah? Think you're hot shit? ???: Despicable. ???: On my birthday too? No respect. ???: Just dialed my number without any cake. ???: Stabbed me right in the face. ???: Me, the birthday girl. ???: and I'm a orphan too. You monster. ???: Outta punch you in the nose for that. Colbrie stands in front of you protectively. Colbrie: That won't be needed! ???: Who's this? ???: Are you in the middle of another summoning already? ???: The calzones on this one. You know how dangerous that is? ???: Whatever, let's get this over with. ???: So what's your deal? RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - AceOfNothing - 06-21-2023 First of all, I am very sorry. I feel like we have a good start to some party supplies though? RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-21-2023 apologize and explain the situation but also invite her clubbing later with you and colbrie for her birthday RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-22-2023 Gayle: Sorry, right now I'm a little desperate. Gayle: We'll make it up to you, promise. Gayle: We got a good start to some birthday supplies. ???: I see.. Gayle: Planning on going clubbing after, you can come to and we can celebrate with you. ???: .... Gayle: Is that a no? ???: Will there be cake? Gayle: There could be? Colbrie: I could probably get a cake... Gayle: I guess so. ???:.... Okay. Gayle: So uh... birthday girl. Gayle: I'm Gayle, witch transcriber. Gayle: A number station nearby has made the signals around here go whack. Gayle: A friend of mine lost contact with me, I'm worried about them. Gayle: Could you help? ???: I guess. Gayle: Great... name? ???: Pumpernickel, entity and guardian of celebration. Gayle: And it's your birthday- Pumpernickel: And it's my birthday, yes. Pumpernickel: Chose a pretty bad day to summon me but... I can offer you a contract for your proposition. Pumpernickel: I can see through the eyes of any cat, send messages anywhere in the world, make your harvest successful, etc. Not a cohesive kit but a lot of entities are like that. Pumpernickel: I was a hero in my time see, all my abilities come from the 21 big feats of my life. Curse that was put on me to turn me into this? Had a sense of humor. Pumpernickel: I'm very powerful, least according to some people. Pumpernickel: So make a request, I can see to it that you get something out of it. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-22-2023 can you send a message to my missing friend? RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-22-2023 what kind of harvests? because my garden-err that's not important right now yeah message! message trying to see if the friend is ok and safe and whatnot...unless its only sending and not recieving...then just,,,, uh status update one way and,,, we can try to find them? RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-23-2023 Gayle: What kind of harvest? Might have to save that for later. Pumpernickel: The good kind. Gayle: Huh, noted... Gayle: Can you send my friend a message? I have their frequency data. Pumpernickel: Easy. Whatcha want me to say? RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-23-2023 an are you okay would suffice for now, i think, but if you can make contact, ask where they are as well RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-23-2023 yeah! and also that im okay, probably. can you send a smiley face over the radio? RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-24-2023 You tune the frequency. Gayle: An are you okay would suffice for now I think. Gayle: Maybe a smiley face? Can you send those? Pumpernickel: Yes. Gayle: Let them know that I'm okay, and if you can contact back ask them where they are. Pumpernickel: I'm sending for now, hard to get a stable frequency under these conditions. Pumpernickel: Confirmed that someone received it however. Good day for you, right? Colbrie: Is your friend a witch too? Gayle: Yes... Colbrie: Ask them to middleman- Pumpernickel: There's already too many of us here. Colbrie: Yeah but like... Pumpernickel: A middleman for them to talk to us through would be easier than trying to get a direct connection... Pumpernickel: Both parties would need a proxy, do you have one? Gayle: No... Colbrie: I can help you make one... Pumpernickel: You should probably let me if you want a precise purpose. Colbrie: I was here first.... Pumpernickel: And I'm more powerful. Gayle: I'll figure this out uh.. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-25-2023 isn't teamwork important? i'm sure nothing would go wrong from asking for help from both at the same time... :3 RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-25-2023 Gayle: Could make it between both of you. That a thing? Teamwork is important and I'm sure nothing would go wrong. Colbrie: Worth a shot, right? Pumpernickel: A proxy with more than one contract entity could be pretty complicated. Pumpernickel: But it's not completely unheard of. Colbrie: Oh? Pumpernickel: All fiends lay eggs, and all can have kids with more than one partner. Pumpernickel: It's all about essence with some magical beings. Pumpernickel: Angel spawn are the result of collective elements too. Pumpernickel: Proxy could end up pretty powerful, but it'd be linked to all three of us. Some mix of elements. Colbrie: I mean... why not? Pumpernickel: I'll give you something good for sure. You play your cards right, you get a lot out of it. Colbrie: Me too. Colbrie: Toss me a memory that makes you smile. Pumpernickel: Toss me your worst fear. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-25-2023 memory that makes me smile: learning how to sing for the first time worst fear: fading into obscurity RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-26-2023 agreeing with the above its very good but would also like to posit the following as silly options for a more specific fear. fading into obscurity, not just to the world, but to yourself. losing track of what you even are. fading into obscurity, but holy hell it burns. why. i feel it might also be fun to jokingly ask if the proxy would also have a kitchen knife stuck in its head, but that might be in poor taste. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-26-2023 no you should definitely ask pumpernickel that RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-26-2023 very fair, kitchen knives do improve everything RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-27-2023 Gayle: Will the proxy also have a knife in its hea- Pumpernickel: No, but you might if you keep that up. Pumpernickel: Choosing the best day to bully me. Colbrie: They don't mean it... Pumpernickel: Better not. Colbrie: A-Anyway, are you ready to make your proxy real? Gayle: As much as I'll ever be. You cling onto your thoughts to give it form. Give it voice. Give it something to fear. Give it a sense of being in its own right. Until... It crackles into reality. Gayle: Uh... Colbrie: Talk to it! Give it a name! RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-27-2023 How about Knife RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-27-2023 no. Blade RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - AceOfNothing - 06-27-2023 Agreeing on Blade RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-27-2023 Yeah Blade is good. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Pichi2214 - 06-28-2023 Parting Blade i have to get fork in the name somehow, and fork is also dividing/parting paths asjkdhasd (plus i think it sounds cool) RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-28-2023 actually double seconding this because its cool and also sounds really edgy and what kind of nerd doesnt want to have the edgiest sounding proxy this side of the- RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 06-28-2023 changing my answer to parting blade as well RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - MarxzVulpez - 06-28-2023 I would like to suggest Tuna as a nickname. (Like, short for Tuning Fork...) RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - AceOfNothing - 06-28-2023 God okay I'm gonna have to switch to Tuna RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-28-2023 as an addendum to the existing discussion: another valid nickname/shortening of parting blade: Ting. like the sound it makes. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - ThreadLurkingComorant - 06-28-2023 Gayle: Parting Blade. Gayle: That's your name. The proxy looks at you with a wide grin. ???: That's what you're going with? ???: I like it... it's a strong name.. but a mouthful too. Gayle: Would a nickname feel good? ???: Mmhmm! Something easy... Gayle: Blade? ???: That's pretty cool, but not quite the energy... Gayle: Hmm.. Tuna? Gayle: Tuna sound good? ???: That's cute... ???: Not sure how that comes from Parting Blade but I like that. Tuna: Tuna... like the fish? Gayle: I was thinking more like tuning. Tuna: That makes sense too! The proxy surprises you with a hug out of nowhere. Tuna: Thank yooooou. You awkwardly hug the proxy back. Gayle: So uh... what's your power? Tuna: Right, um.. Tuna: Check this out. The proxy backs up to make space. In your hands it plans a knife. There's a odd sound coming from it. Gayle: Is that it? Tuna: I can sing too! Tuna: Maybe not the power you're looking for but.... Gayle: It counts. Pumpernickel: Proxy is pretty developed for being just created. Pumpernickel: Bit of an oddity there. Colbrie: Might be the effect of double contracts? Pumpernickel: Maybe. Feels like a bad omen. Colbrie: Be nice! It was just born five minutes ago! Colbrie: It doesn't know a bad day! Pumpernickel: If it steps out of line I'll give it one. Colbrie: On it's birthday though? Really? Pumpernickel: Didn't stop god from meddling with mine. Tuna: Oh, it's your birthday? Pumpernickel:...Yes. Tuna: I could sing for you if you'd like. The cat entity sheds a singular tear. Pumpernickel gives the proxy a hug. Tuna: A-are you okay? Pumpernickel: I am going to adopt you. Gayle: So... back to business. You said this proxy could help me talk to my friend? Colbrie: Yep! In theory anyway... Colbrie: Yours might be tricky though. Defined personality means you can't uh... directly control it. Colbrie: So you're going to want to bond with Parting Blade a bit first! Colbrie: And also steal it back from Pumpernickel... Tuna is stuck in a chokehold of a hug as Pumpernickel's walls seem to melt. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - Ignispark - 06-28-2023 tuna had a good point...we have to sing for pumpernickel's birthday asap. and also tuna's. RE: [GAME] EN/T/T - skinstealer - 09-06-2023 i think it is time to sing happy birthday and then everyone go out to dinner to celebrate. hold hands with colbrie also this will be a very normal evening
