Sailor and former and one day returning captain of the trading vessel The Seawitch. She/Her. 8'1. Quads open...? (I guess). Yes my back hurts sometimes why do you ask
This po≈er is. Something else. As I train more ≈ith it, the more I can feel it run through me. Speaking of running, I've learned to channel it through my movement, I don't recall ever moving at these speeds even ≈hen I ≈as in my youth. I ≈as able to clear the half day distance bet≈een this abandoned hive complex and my former hive in only a fe≈ hours. Mastery over the body and it's place in the cosmos is certainly something. I still have much to learn, but I am getting some≈here
I think if I ≈as less in tune ≈ith my body to begin ≈ith, if I ≈as a novice, this ≈ould take months. Right no≈, it feels like slipping on a glove that I never kne≈ I could ≈ear.
Been practicing hops. Jumps. Thought he ≈as fucking ≈ith me, but, no, I should stop doubting him. I cleared a t≈o-story hive ≈ith a single jump.
I ≈as but a youngin ≈hen she perished. Didn't kno≈ ≈hat to think, but. No≈. Exposed to a ≈ider net of possibilities and circumstances, I see my ≈ork ≈ill have to continue. Sometimes I ≈onder if I should borro≈ the ≈ay of the s≈ord saint. Even ≈ith training I realize I may one day be put in the grave attempting ≈hat I seek to do. But. I feel that it's the right thing to do.
Man that sounds a little edgy in retrospect. But that Kris human has put me on the right path, for no≈. Tracing the connection bet≈een the ≈orld, the self, and the blade seems to give results, allo≈ing me to muster po≈er one ≈ould call borderline supernatural, or sprititual, unsure.
Any≈ay. My training ≈ill continue. I have consistently managed to achieve ≈hat I had done in that video I accidentally uploaded. If anyone needs defending from drones, reach out to me. I have been able to cut them do≈n before.
Hm. I'm sure the jade caste ≈ith the aid of the teal authorities are rounding up people ≈illing to keep things going. I've also heard stories of....alternate methods of procreation cropping up, but those are mostly dirty rumors in bars. Surely those are just rumors. #suggestive #pailingseason
Living post-empire means that the motivation for the season has become optional at best. Still uh. It's kind of fun ≈hen there's no threat of dying involved. I think it's ≈hat used to lead to a lot of unhealthy relationships to form
Too old for that shit, plus no drones to worry about, plus on a different kind of grind.
[ * A video is recorded on accident, judging by the angle that its recording, propped up enough to be visible but at an angle. She looks to be in a wide, open abandoned hive structure, tattered curtains drawn. Brilliant bright light is streaming in through. She was dressed in a tanktop and an average set of work pants and her boots. She has her massive bladed club held tight in both hands, muttering something under her breath as she tries to go for another combo on some old training bot that she's already hacked well into, going for a few more swings, keeping precise and without much showing off. At the final flourish, the teeth of the blade catch an unnatural, the sword briefly flashing a teal-ish white as it makes contact with the bot, cleaving it in two, as well as the shelves much further off. The bot causes a small explosion not long after being hit and cleft in two, Ganset quickly backstepping, shock on her face. The wave of force brought forth knocked over the phone as "≈hat the fuck?" can be heard. The video uploads and sends itself through further phone fumblings *]
Can't rest, I feel like I am so close to figuring this out. Feel the line bet≈een the ground and the blade, ho≈ it travels through you. Got it. Maybe if I just..
I'm starting to feel. Something. Not sure ≈hat, but I kind of understand ≈hat Kris has been talking about. This ≈ill continue tomorro≈. Goodlight people
Books aside, started to take his advice. Tried to meditate for a fe≈ hours no≈, and it's. hard. I don't kno≈ ≈hat I pull my strength from. Dedication? A belief that my ≈ay is the right ≈ay? I don't kno≈.
Oh, sorry. More literally, not like... metaphysically. Think about your stance. Think about the reactions of your muscles as you perform acts of strength. Think about how you ground yourself to lift, to throw.
...Hrm. Frustrating, I'll continue figuring it out. See ≈hat practicing ≈ith my s≈ord can offer
Yes! Yes, the sword! The sword is the perfect conduit. Feel the line between the soil and your sword, and focus on what happens in between!
≈ill double my efforts. Part of me ≈ishes I could attend to events for fun, but I've finally got a lead on ≈hat I need to do, to find even older sites forgotten by all. Larkso, I'm sure you're keeping eyes on the feed. You should receive a ≈ide selection of those novels in a fe≈ hours.
Yes. I have been searching for it on my o≈n on my planet in the mean≈hile, but I am not opposed to looking beyond if there are offers.
I don't have any secret repositories you can read from that I can share, but I will offer an appropriately vague yet possibly helpful tip: think about where your physical strength comes from- the strength you think you've reached the peak of. try and follow the path of that power when you use it.
Does this tie into this po≈er business that I've seen some of you talk about, or is this something else? I ≈ill try this, all the same.
little bit of both. more something else than the first thing, but... I'm making a hand-wavy motion
Surprising amount of teals on. For the record, my legalese stereotype archetype ended up being follo≈ing the logistics of trade and taking part in managing trade routes. Fuck the la≈.
WHETHER YOU /IKE IT OR NOT THE /AW ISS IN P/ACE I SIMP/Y SSTRIVE TO UPHO/D JUSSTICE >8/
Apologies, in my time, the average teal is conscripted into extra extrajudicial forces if they are not already taking part in the legal system. Happened after I took part in the Mercantile Guild.
... ≈ell. If anyone ≈ants a ≈ide variety of redrom novels I have your back. There ≈ere some useful books, but I'll have to head out. I must've tripped an alarm, a gro≈n-over drone spung to life. Fucker still follo≈ed old command and ≈ent after me for being quadrantless. Any≈ay, they can be bisected and quartered like anything else. Must return to camp before sunrise. Likely last chit for the light, rest ≈ell people.
I ≈ill send over some. I assume you ≈ould like the m/m category ones?
...surely this archive has more than just romance novels, yes? I appreciate the redrom novels as much as the next troll, but I ≈as hoping for something more esoteric, more useful.
Been spending all day scouting abandoned hive complexes a≈ay from the coast. The Guild has been trying to establish land routes for trade, but for some of these communities, it ≈as too late. The people either starved, or left hive in search of better opportunity. Or they ≈ere hunted. Either ≈ay, this one has an extensive library. It is getting light out, ho≈ever. No rest for the righteous.
Trying to reach a level of clarity like the Duelist suggested, a full light and night sober so far. All I'm getting is that itch. It'll be a rough fe≈ ≈eeks, I kno≈ it. It's a small price to pay for po≈er. #substance kind of
Hey, Goatmom, long time no see https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/320637a23ced.png
What A Beautiful View, You Must Love Her Very Much. I'm Sure She Loved You Just The Same.
I did love her, and she loved me too. This ≈as one of her favorite spots to graze and scale the cliffs. I ≈ish I could've made her something prettier like a headstone, but, it ≈as a rough time. ≈ould feel ≈eird to disturb it no≈.
