[hyperfix]

Forgive my lecture, then. Can it really not be repurposed into something that is a good time, though? Because that sounds...'metal', I think. 'Metal as hell', even!

Maybe it's naive of me. I like to think that anything can be repurposed, if looked at differently. But I also haven't grown up with chanting, have I? ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

[necrosavior]

No worries, buddy. It's probably more a people problem than the chant's fault. They're more pro-bone than metal.

I'm more swords than music type, but *I would share the chants* so you could repurpose it to metal as hell.

[hyperfix]

Bones are very important, so I suppose I can understand.

I'm not really the music-arranging type myself, but I can absolutely do something with any fragments you're willing to give me! Perhaps it could even serve as inspiration for my next show, almost like a writing prompt or something.

Isn't it fascinating how things can see new life in the hands of someone different? If I gave you one of my drones, I wonder what you'd do with it!

[necrosavior]

They are. They're even better with muscle layered over them.

I couldn't forget them if I tried. That sounds good. I'd like to see what you come up with and imagine everyone's faces if they heard it. Someone would probably keel over and die.

When you say drone, do you mean like a construct?

[hyperfix]

True! Even if the muscle makes them wet and juicy, this is their superior form by far.

Oh! You're using me to conduct a little rebellious blasphemy, for a laugh...I can't say that I mind. It's not as though it holds the same meaning to me, after all.

But yes! I build robots in my spare time, and as additions to my shows. The drones are my favourites, however! Flight, and ease of customisation!

[necrosavior]

It provides that oomph.

It's not like ~*~the tomb~*~ is even here. All for the laughs.

Flying constructs. That's cool so long as you don't have to fight them. Hard to reach those with a sword possibly.

[hyperfix]

See, you can't drop terms like ~*~the tomb~*~ and expect me not to get curious. Sure, I can extrapolate from context clues, but I still have to know exactly what sort of arcane deep dive we're talking about here.

My drones aren't meant for fighting, at least with real swords. If they're repurposed for theatrical battles, however, I can control them enough to make them fly lower.

Naturally, I'm a gracious director who allows for fight choreography to go to script, as long as it's dynamic. Some mightn't be so generous with their direction, of course.

[necrosavior]

You can get curious, but it's rather dull really. Rundown is it's a locked tomb. Big ol' door and powerful slappy magic to keep people out. So you know, a real fascinating show stopper. A rock! In front of a tomb! And fuckton of people just living to not open ~*~the tomb~*~ and chanting that ~*~the tomb~*~ never be opened. The chant doesn't slap.

Okay sure there's everything else in existence that isn't fighting to do. Never heard of theatrical battles, but I bet Crux's clogged arteries that they're more fun that Ortus's epic poetry.

[hyperfix]

The tomb itself slaps, and yet the chant doesn't. Sounds about right. That just makes it all the more enticing, even if there's probably nothing worth the trouble inside. Don't you just want to crack that pristine egg open to see if it's worth the hype?

Not that I'm familiar with magic in reality, but it's simply the way of the world that if something can be done, it can be undone. It's just the how.





I don't wish to discredit a fellow artist, but I pride myself on my performances being fun. Perhaps they're not philosophical powerhouses, as I wish for them to be enjoyed by young and old, but they will leave you with a smile. Either that, or I'll simply berate myself after for being a failure! :)

[necrosavior]

It would be a quick way to give everyone left alive a killer heart attack. I got out, so I never want to go back.

For sure. Last plan I heard people cook up to try it was baby murder. So like... where do you draw a line?



You've sold me on it. Don't worry about Ortus. It was a magnus opus.

[hyperfix]

Baby murder? I'm currently stuck on baby murder. Give me a moment, please. I'm quite sure that harming another being at all is where the line should always be drawn in all things?

Oh my goodness. Anyway, enough about the ~*~tomb~*~, I think that it sounds quite boring now anyway. It can stay shut forever. The more important question is: what sort of stories do you like to hear?

[necrosavior]

That works better when other people don't cross that line at you. Murder, ruining shit for all of us.

No more ~*~tomb~*~. ~*~tomb~*~ time is over. We're getting to the good stuff: swords, lesbians, lesbians with swords, puns...

[hyperfix]

Murder is only fine and good when it's fake, and well-implemented into the narrative! Which ties into the new theme.

Sword lesbians.

I could do this, if my troupe was here! I have two actresses with fantastic chemistry, I think, and they would prob

one of them would have a great time with a sword and free licence on punning, probably! The other one might be a little shy about fight choreography, but she's very talented so I believe in her. Do you enjoy prolonged pining, or established wives cutting down dastards together? A dash of both?

[necrosavior]

This topic is much better. I need to get 'Sword Lesbian' on a sign or jacket or pin or something.

How much of your troupe is here? This needs to exist.

Mmhmm. Mmhmm. Both, definitely both. Like they're wives but also have the prolonged pining. Maybe it's an arranged marriage so they don't think the other one is really interested in them. The dynamic, the trust, the established most important relationship is all there. Plus they're idiots about each other and cannot understand what each other is feeling even though it's obvious to everyone else...

[hyperfix]

Tell me if you do; I think at least one of my friends would be very interested, if not two. Depending on whether they manage to get the courage up to ask their friend out, but it's obvious to me that they should! (●ˇ∀ˇ●)

[Maybe he should help one of his lesbifriends out with a dramatic confession or something...Honestly, it's driving him up the wall. So much good chemistry all around him!!]

Sadly, I'm the only one here at the moment. Hopefully that changes, but until then, I might have to source local talent. There has to be someone around with the panache to do the stunts I give them, I'm sure! There's no way I can let this concept go to waste. The story of two female warriors coming to know each other as more than mere convenience of arrangement, tension on the battlefield, letting their guards down around each other...

Who wouldn't swoon? You're an absolute genius; as someone with no romantic experience myself, this is all a little beyond me to come up with in the first place, but now that it's been planted, it should take little care to bloom into something beautiful!

[necrosavior]

Have you seen Willow and Epiphany this month? I'll eat my shoe if it isn't possible. Are these the friends/troupe members to play the pining sword wives? #theirony

I fully support them asking each other out. They get here, I'm on your team for that.

Great idea: get a shiny glowing sign advertising for sword lesbian. No way I'm the only one here. Gotta be the greatest buffest group in all the world. I want to meet them. I am them.

It's a true partnership. I don't have any show writing etc experience. It lives rent free in my head but nowhere else.
