[aurora] I love and appreciate Falst's role in this party as the cutter of Gordian angst-knots
skerple
everyone in this party is good but Falst is filling a very important niche
Sword Logic
he said it!
Sword Logic
also I'm glad that everyone else's response proceeded directly from their core character traumas

Sword Logic
right, like, tropes are tropes for a reason
skerple
yeah! they're common and identifiable because they're tools that work
