QUESTION MEME KINDA!!!


Except mostly I have a hankering to sort characters into Sabra teams/nations.


If you didn't play/stalk Sabra, there were 17 regular teams (plus one special enforcement team split three ways). Each team tended to have a general personality you can reads about here.

Those sixteen teams were also the basis of the sixteen nations of the world's history. (ICly it's the reverse of that: the old nations were the basis of the teams.) You can see info on the nations here. Basically every nation was it's own super special snowflake, from the Steampunk Atheist Bibliocracy, to ~Crystal Towers~ full of sketchy political intrigue, nomadic desert mages, crazy swamp jerks, THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS.

ANYWAY IF YOU COMMENT HERE I will sort your character(s) into teams and/or nations at your preference. (Normally a team and nation would have the same answer buuuuut)

Also I will then ask you a question I guess. I just want to do some Sabra sorting y'all.

YES WHEN I DO END UP APPING TRIGGER she will totally love Kalidas.

[oi_theoi]

TRIGGER.... YES. A+++

She will try to talk her into making out with people as tribute

OH AND QUESTIONS I heard like. apparently you have achieved maximum Messengerdere. HOWS THAT WORKING OUT?

[overclocking]

... UH. WELL.

Most of the time it involves fantasy sequences of leaping out of third story windows, followed swiftly by lamentations at Thusia's lack of windows, quickly disrupted by having to hit Messenger in the face.

And by that I mean it's actually STUPIDLY SOMEHOW really good for both of them?? Like, they're both into that really deep, heavy emotional stuff, the kind that could (and has, in both their cases) make you go legit crazy. Yet their derp and fail and antics provides a much-needed distraction from that, along with the knowledge that they both sort of GET IT? They've mastered the art of unspoken understanding where that heavy stuff is concerned, so it's like solidarity without having to address it directly, which they both really need. Sort of like, "Yeah, we're both sinners who would be burning in hell, LET'S PAINT THIS WALL WITH RAINBOWS"

Basically they're simultaneously really alike and really different and balance each other quite perfectly. The whole thing is an accident but it's sort of a beautiful hilarious accident.


SO I MENTIONED TO NISHI ONCE I have this fantasy sequence of you apping villain!Messenger. HOW WOULD THAT GO.

[maho_shoujoker]

WHICH ONE, the like bad end The Prince version or suuuuper early Sabra plot ideas that I realized quickly I couldn't possibly pull off version?

[overclocking]

EITHER/OR. Whichever scenario is more hilarious and/or trainwrecky :|a

[maho_shoujoker]

WELL OK I GUESS I SHOULD SAY THAT THIS WOULD BE THE KIND OF CHARACTER I AM EXACTLY TERRIBLE AT so I am sorry to crush your fantasy sequence :(a

But anyway the Prince would at first present himself as just some other bad end Messenger. Might even try to hide his actual name from real!Ptou (though being that Ptou is technically King now he might be able to get that out of him). The Prince would have the goal of recreating Sabra in Thusia, or at the very least ruling Thusia. Preferably both! He may or may not hook up with Eizon, but in any case would lie about it if he did.

I. IDK. he would be a dick.

PLEASE ELABORATE ON THIS FANTASY SEQUENCE!!!

IT'S OKAY, I harbor no expectations, only dreams

idek specifics, that requires more thinky thoughts than I have, but Messenger has sort of worked up this reputation in Thusia (among the residents AND gods) of being this mostly harmless troll. So if a second one rolled in and looked/acted more or less identical, especially with all the doubles we already have, I don't think most people would really think twice about it?? So he could coast off those expectations and worm his way in with gods and people alike and have all these strings to pull as a result.

BASICALLY HE COULD FUCK EVERYONE OVER BLIND because they would not expect it or see it coming...ever. Whether it's an actual legit doom plot or just really srs business trolling, idk. MAYBE BOTH.

Also, I dunno, haiku contests, pun battles, squidrat fisticuffs?? WHICH ONE IS THE REAL SQUIDRAT, WHICH ONE DO WE BOTTLE?!?!
