so you've all noticed that about half of us are totally fucked in the head right

best I can tell they think they've always lived here? in this world I mean. kinda hard to ask too much more than that without looking like you're the one that's insane but man

apparently they've also got backstories for all of us??? so how the fuck am I supposed to know that shit???

anyways. wanted to toss this out there for discussing and strategizing how to deal with this fuckin mess. I figure once we kill this kaiju they'll all go back to normal but

I dunno. be gentle with them. I know that's ironic coming from me but whatever

lemme know if there's anyone I missed to add to this filter.

(( ooc ; this is a discussion post about the people with au'd memories for those who do not have those memories! ending up on this filter is an icly handwaved process, so feel free to jump in if this applies to your character. threadjacking is very much open and welcome!

your boy suspects the same thing. something about all the unicorns here?

that britain was built in a world where the fairies of paradise failed to forge a holy sword in time to destroy something that wiped the planet clean of anything besides ocean.

[ some of the math might even add up to tezca: swordsmith apostle of the foreign god goes into the lostbelt, chaldea comes out with a conceptual weapon based on a holy sword. the stuff in between doesn't really matter, does it? ]

i cant say what i know is useful, based on that, but the best way to kill fairies that don't kill each other first is with an iron blade

[fursuit]

okay first of all don't call him my boy

[ they are not beating the allegations and will continue to not beat them shortly into the future, ]

second and more importantly good to know about iron blades. sounds like you've got your work cut out for you huh? good thing we got a smith now I guess

and personal note. that's an interesting divergence point for that lostbelt. must've been sefar that they didn't cut down. not that it's exactly secret or anything but it's just interesting

[misclassed]

[ ignoring that protest because. lmao. okay. sure dude. ]

the white titan? yeah chaldea mentioned it too. same place that olympus diverged too, according to chrome dome. but then when morgan cut down her tree, it turned self contained or something? a lost world, not a belt. she kept handling stuff by sending things back in the past with a mirror she had, where events were still flexible because the tree was still alive then

[ anyway, whatever! ]

i can sharpen up whatever people have on hand well enough without the whole forge up and running. i ain't making anything new here though. don't have enough charcoal or timber to spare.

it's not like i haven't been telling people for months to come and get a proper blade.

[ and smithing would be breaking kayfabe in a way that he refuses to do so ]

[fursuit]

[ for most people, this would sound like bullshit, but unfortunately, this all makes sense to tezca... why is he also a god of magecraft. i hate him. ]

huh. well that ain't relevant here buuuut I'm also glad to have my curiosity satisfied. always thought it was weird that I couldn't take a peek at that part of the world, but that makes sense! too bad I didn't get to meet morgan, since that's an impressive little plan

ah well

for this little plan I'll send anyone I hear about wanting something sharpened your way I guess. not exactly necessary for me since at least we get to cheat and keep things eternally sharp

1/2

[misclassed]

of course you would

yeah yeah, i'll take care of them

2/2 and then i walked into a meeting at work lmao

[misclassed]

[ (SOME TIME AFTER THE SWORD STUFF REVEAL?) ]

hey, tezcatlipoca

figure that you're the magecraft expert right now, yeah?

the delay did make me laugh. mysterious masa

[fursuit]

sure. always was

[ he's just annoyingly selective with his help. duh! ]

people don't like it when I try and use my magecraft though if that's what you're hoping for. but anyways. what's up?

[misclassed]

i don't need you casting anything, just gimme your thoughts

[ if rin were still here, he'd ask her... and if daybit weren't busy being Normalbit he'd go there second, but... oh well, lol. attached is an occular photo of the strange swords that yuji originally found. ]

the mountings are new, and machine tooled. probably made around the same time as the last industrial era, but the blade itself's older. a lot older. and there's magecraft or something like it in the ivory

any ideas?

[ his swords are special because he's the one who made them, pounded the iron and sharpened it himself until steel can cut things that aren't even there. this is out of his wheelhouse ]

[fursuit]

huh. guessing this isn't something they'd let me get my hands on?

can't tell from a picture alone unfortunately but if I could check it out in person I'd probably get a decent guess

[misclassed]

they're in the garrison if you want to look but the guards are a little testy, so you'll need a decent distraction.

she said that there's no one else besides her when i took a closer look

[ the sword, he means. obviously. swords don't talk to you where you're from? ]

@kuzunoha14

[the_fourteenth]

[Just Raidou slamming into this thread at a hundred miles an hour, hi]

I got to take a look at these swords at the garrison myself

They're magical

Not any kinda I've seen before but unmistakably magical

The guards won't let you get close but I got close enough to tell

[You know he's excited when he forgets punctuation.]

[misclassed]

settles that, i suppose.

yuji didn't say nothing about it being a curse or anything but it's gotta be damn impressive, if it's effecting me.

[ his magic resistance isn't THAT degraded by being here... so... ]

[the_fourteenth]

My guess is that this is outside the purview of most, if not all Outsiders

What did you mean when you said "no one else besides her"

[misclassed]

thats what the sword said when i touched the blade, and then it felt like my skull was being split in two and something like a fear curse was being put on me

[the_fourteenth]

Then they're definitely magical, and it sound like well-defended spells at that.

I've been in this world for nearly two years, and I am well-attuned to magic. It's a necessity as a summoner. But this is the first time I've encountered anything at all like magic in this world that wasn't coming from the Outsiders
