feels bad no one's signed up for the ancient elves yet but like. idk what kind of info we'd be looking to get out of them in the first place? /rubs chin
by way of what might they reasonably know that we do not. tho maybe someone could ask them if they know shit about the nightmares. hmmmmm that's a thing!
if I'm gonna sign up for anything I'll try to make sure I get it in either tonight or tomorrow morning before work bc chances are I won't be like. mentally all here after work to remember to do it
also I have no particular plans for september, I just take things as they go. if 'figure out nightmare shit' plot goes up obvs I wanna be part of that. always open for more templar reactions. loki is, uh, gone, and they'd only just gotten together, so that's. alarming. (and river's gone, and he really liked her)
(I got approval for nightmare excursions yesterday, so will probably put signups for that up post-mod plot so people know what their plates look like ✨✨ points at enthusiastically!!)
did I sign up for anything yet no but anyway lemmie throw out here the idea for a loss for mobi being feeling in his hands. not useless numb, like, probably still feel pressure, but temperature's right out, just sensation and texture and good stuff, that's out. I'm considering it.
but also absolutely fuck no fuck off his nerdy librarian reading skills are so fucking important to him. he'd give up an eye, he could still read with the other!
sucks to be you, mage boy!!! gonna be over here reading reports and shit! probably burning and freezing his hands all the time, and cutting them up without realizing it, but at least he can read!
also, hilariously, given how bad he's gonna suck at three outta five, even if perhaps it is not always his fault we'll see, he would look at the figurative writing on the wall and go
as an aside I really don't have any particular reason for the hand thing specifically. it just sounds like an interesting thing to do. I might also take away the pressure sensitivity too, just, fucking make the whole thing numb as hell
it just seemed better than, say, memories (of which, frankly, the truly important shit would be like...his friendship with ellie, or the vision from andraste (which would itself be such a huge thing that I don't even know what it would do to him), or his life as a templar)
or skills, like his templaring abilities which I would like to be able to get to whip out more before I do anything about not having them anymore (and he would probably choose a lot of other things to lose over that), or, y'know, the reading which we've already discussed, sword and shielding would be fine but I do like the idea of something
somewhat more permanent. could I have just hacked off his nose, or lost a hand? I mean sure but this seems interesting. it'll be a struggle in other ways. anyway like I said it's the thing that burrowed into my brain and when put up against a bunch of other possibilities, he'd be likely to choose the hand thing to a lot else
things I will need -get my funtime bonus points for august ac -abby punching an asshole for his lying -possibly I'll TL on the general forest stuff, I'm not sure. I might just tag out on this one tho -once there's a more solid After, something with jude and/or ellie
I'm over here also considering the ways he'll get hurt/hurt others accidentally and like. I don't know about the first one, I'm still entertained by the idea that somehow mobi and redvers somehow hurt each other, the mirror one he might get sick of marcus being marcus and accidentally blind himself like a fucking idiot,
and the falon'din one idk there's no good puzzle way immediately apparent to get hurt so it might be a fight off some wild animals that have made a nest in there
'shouldn't this go on the pp for the group' I mean maybe yeah but I'm trying to like get my eggies in a basket wrt the level of hurt he'll be in by the time he drags himself out of there
or he could burn himself instead on the light. unsure. just accidentally move his arm too close and light his sleeve on fire and have to put it out. god okay that's much funnier
might put up a thing for team bad vibes Picking A Sacrifice bc I have played around writing something up for that. but also I should put up a toplevel for myself for team shenanigans to attempt to figure out where everyone stands with each other
in other news. in other news!! I sure did see tertia's post and boy oh boy that explanation of harrowings is harrowing and you bet mobius is listening in and making a good decision to not argue about it even though he thinks that is a very Wrong explanation
he's killed apprentices who failed their harrowings before. he has also stayed his hand when he disagreed that it's been failed (like, if someone says it's taken too long, and it's like what? but that just means they aren't done yet? the fuck you talking about?)
if I'm having him lose all sensation in his hands, if/when I ever give him an anchor shard, I shouldn't put it in his hand, bc it's unclear if he'd feel the pain of it! where should I instead put it!
I am. going to try. and perhaps make a closed mobi post for doing Things both Before and After. but my brain's a little disorganized tonight so it probably won't happen tonight. maybe tomorrow night! who knows! not me! I do not control the speed at which posts happen
tho maybe someone could ask them if they know shit about the nightmares. hmmmmm that's a thing!
the worst rollsof all the teams-get my funtime bonus points for august ac
