~disclaimer that this is all hypotheticals and hypothesizing~
LOVE☆STRUCK
so I want maya to have time to digest everything that's happened this month so I"m not going to rush to try and reach tier 3
LOVE☆STRUCK
but it HAS gotten me thinking about things that I want to do whether o not she reaches tier 3
LOVE☆STRUCK
and also: i need to do more with merain
LOVE☆STRUCK
it's this entire fucking village of fisher women who are trying to dominate the fish market and out do vandare
LOVE☆STRUCK
and i'm like, i know i'm just a SLUT for this kind of shit but
LOVE☆STRUCK
what if she had them start competing through pirating/pillaging other fishing vessels and had them sacrifice their competitors to the fog
LOVE☆STRUCK
IT'D HARD TO JUSTIFY BC IT'S MAYA but it's still nice to think about. "nice???" look i really fucking love pirates
taffy
pirate shit! pirate shit! bangs hands on table
LOVE☆STRUCK
RIGHT?? I JUST... it has to make sense. it has to be valid
LOVE☆STRUCK
but
LOVE☆STRUCK
it's nice to thin k about
book of thot
PIRATE SHIT!!
taffy
yeah if she was shade still you could absolutely figure out how to justify that
taffy
as it is i'll bet you can come up with something
LOVE☆STRUCK
she's going to be thinking a lot about things as a result of being a shade and try not to do things IN anger so much
LOVE☆STRUCK
ut
LOVE☆STRUCK
*but
LOVE☆STRUCK
maybe this is more like. defending/conquering idk. i'm still very hypothetical about it
Wayward Haze
omg pirate town
Wayward Haze
I love
LOVE☆STRUCK
IT'D BE KINDA COOL RIGHT?
taffy
lemme put this out there
if maya also thinks that pirates are fun, maybe you could swing a slightly lighter version of that??
LOVE☆STRUCK
oh yeah i think she'd honestly think it's

better than her doing a bunch of slaughtering, at the very least
triska
i think of it as like. the Iron Town women from princess mononoke
triska
It's Empowering
LOVE☆STRUCK
YEAH
LOVE☆STRUCK
THAT'S EXoh
LOVE☆STRUCK
oh
LOVE☆STRUCK
what if the women come to her in loyalty because they've had at least a year of just. prosperous living
LOVE☆STRUCK
i was thinking about it from a maya-egging-them-on angle but. if they want to be loyal to her and recruit her for piracy, that's another thing
taffy
that's really cute
Silvie
HMMMM
Silvie
I wonder if you could somehow tie this into like
Silvie
Maya’s overall arc of taking power?
LOVE☆STRUCK
somehow i could. somehow
LOVE☆STRUCK
it's somewhere int here
Silvie
In terms of maybe the village could face some kind of hardship
Silvie
Like maybe their competitors do something like... ok it’s time to crush these gals
Silvie
We will have an extended period of slashing fish prices. It will be a bad season for us but worse for them
Silvie
And they can turn to maya/sacrifices to the fog as a sort of... they themselves taking power back and paying homage?
Silvie
Like maybe someone comes to the village from vandare with the intent of disrupting their operation, or trying to weaken them or convince them to go elsewhere
Silvie
So it’s a no this is Our space and Our work??? Sorry this is vague idk how to phrase it
LOVE☆STRUCK
YEAH
LOVE☆STRUCK
i think that's a great way to phrase it cos like
LOVE☆STRUCK
if they're competing with Vandare it leaves ROOM for taht kind of interference
Silvie
It doesn’t even need to be like. All of vandare vs merain it could just be a block of asshole npcs determined to make life difficult
Silvie
And then it’s just
Silvie
Whoops! Fog cult
LOVE☆STRUCK
YEAH
LOVE☆STRUCK
especially if it's like
(baka)karen
‘What do you have, Maya?’ ‘A cult???’ ‘No!’
LOVE☆STRUCK
maya (and maybe others??) is able to help stop the sect of fishermen who are trying to stop merain, and like
as a result, WIN their loyalty with that gesture...
LOVE☆STRUCK
bc then it's "oh, we are important to the fogs, or at least to one of them")
triska
RIGHT EXACTLY
LOVE☆STRUCK
THIS... SEEMS LIKE I COULD FINAGLE IT even if it didn't work for fog shit it'd still be like
LOVE☆STRUCK
not just sitting on merain
Wayward Haze
.... see this ... is the sort of thing Horatio would help with. /slides over from failplan
Wayward Haze
Community Building With Fog Flavoring
LOVE☆STRUCK
Honestly like
Maya has it in her head now that Five is basically a superhero (I have to get back to that thread too it just deserves More Time than I have had brain for this week) SO I FEEL LIKE
SHE WOULD SUPER BE ON BOARD W HIS HELP

and there's ways to orchestrate this where she and the rest feel they're doing more good than harm
Wayward Haze
I mean he kinda is he denies this
LOVE☆STRUCK
HE KINDA IS!!! AND SHE ACKNOWLEDGES THIS--
triska
nods. he kinda is.
LOVE☆STRUCK
she thinks he's so cool ok
LOVE☆STRUCK
comes back to this
LOVE☆STRUCK
so i think what i am going to do first is ask the mods:

1. how feasible this would be in general
2. whether or not it would be appropriate to spin toward fog support

and then depending on those answers I will decide
LOVE☆STRUCK
-if it should be a fog thing or not
-how big i wanna go
-how i can include others
LOVE☆STRUCK
oh i guess what the consequences of Merain posing an actual threat to Vandare would be
