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
I forget sometimes just ho≈ much I differ from fello≈ tealbloods. Far from an issue, it's just funny to consider. Most find themselves in legislaughter and legalese or la≈ enforcement even after the great collapse. I no≈ rival purples in strength and fight for ≈hat's right, not for the la≈.
A TRO// AFTER MY OWN PUSHER >83 I RESSPECT /EGISS/ACERATORSS AND OTHER DUTIESS A/ONG THOSSE /INESS BUT I PERSSONA//Y DONT FIND MYSSE/F IN THAT OCCUPATION >8/ I A/SSO WOU/D /IKE TO THINK I FIGHT FOR WHATSS RIGHT BUT I MOSST/Y JUSST END UP DOING MY OWN THING >8/
I see a lot of injustice going on in the ≈orld, mine, any≈ay, and I have the po≈er to stop it. So ≈hy shouldn't I? I used to stick to helping ≈ith the Mecantile Guild, and I may still go back, I miss my cre≈, but at least at the moment I've got the po≈er to make great change on my o≈n.
I SHOU/D PROBAB/Y GET OUT OF HIVE MORE OFTEN AND FIND THINGSS WORTH DOING THAT ARENT HUNTING FOR MEA/SS OR WORKING AT A JOB I /OVE >8/ THERESS PROBAB/Y A FEW THINGSS I CAN DO SSOMEWHERE >8?
It ≈ouldn't hurt to take up a hobby or t≈o. I've been on a project of restoring an abandoned hivestem into a monastery of my o≈n making. Gardening, construction, and safeguarding. If nothing else it's a place of respite for travelers.
I HAVE HOBBIESS JUSST NOT ONESS THAT REA//Y DO ANYTHING FOR ANYONE BUT MYSSE/F >8/ IVE GOTTEN RATHER SSKI//ED WITH A NEED/E ASS A RESSU/T THOUGH >83 IT DEFINITE/Y WOU/DNT HURT TO PICK UP A FEW MORE THOUGH >8/
Needle, clothes making is a valuable craft, everyone needs clothes. Have you considered creating articles of clothes for those ≈ho need them?
I SSUPPOSSE THAT WOU/D BE AN EASSY P/ACE TO SSTART >83 NOT SSURE WHERE EXACT/Y I WOU/D /EAVE THESSE C/OTHESS THOUGH >8/
I'm sure there are boards and sites on trollnet for this sort of thing, support net≈orks.
If I ≈ere in his position and someone called in drones I'd simply punch a hole through then all.
As much as I love solving problems with violence, I fear this may create some new ones~.
Perhaps. They haven't been a thing planetside for ten s≈eeps almost. I can't say I remember ho≈ dangerous it'd be to actually go through ≈ith it. I've just been able to bisect remnant drones before I ≈as able to channel po≈er through my fists and blades.
You must hail from an interesting place~! I am not worried about the drones, so much as incurring the wrath of the empire~. I don't mind being wanted, but not like that~.
More like an interesting time. Post-Imperial Collapse Alternia. My timeline is not shared by many on this site, but I've seen a fe≈.
I can scarcely imagine what a timeline would look like, without an empire~. Nonetheless that such a powerful entity would topple~.~.~. But I am joyed to meet someone like you regardless~!
The bright side to all of this is that I've never felt better. The first fe≈ ≈ipes ≈ithout #substances ≈as harsh, but things have been improving. I ≈ouldn't say that alone is the cause, though, the training and learning has changed me in ≈ays only talked about in stories.
Any≈ay. Evening aside I guess I have time to exist here. My training has started to reach a plateau, and I am not sure ≈here to climb from here, so to speak. I have reached a level of enlightenment ≈ithin myself and in understanding my place in the universe. Perhaps there is no≈here else to go from here, but I ≈ould like to try.
Thank you. Should I just call you an educator at this rate, you've already guided me this far?
Ah. I do not think that I am training today, nor for the next fe≈ days. ≈alking is difficult. I thought I had ≈hat it took to take them on. ≈hile I ≈asn't completely ≈rong, being bold has its costs. Thanks for the fun evening, Felyan, it ≈as ≈orth it. #nsf≈ #sicknastysunday
-- setSail has uploaded a video. -- [ *Another video that seems to be recorded in the same abandoned hive complex from her last video. In the time that has transpired, she seems to be converting the space into the combination of a monastery and training dojo, with various training dummies, obstacle field, and training course. The place seems a lot more lived it. It even looks to have a garden. The feed looks like it comes from various cameras, of which the recording hops between. Ganset is spotted and focused on in the training yard. She is adorned in the alternian equivalent of a chivara, a flowing robes and cloth of black, grey, teal, and green. She looks to be going through another regimen of learning an unarmed fighting style. Strike after strike into the air, each move with a purpose, no wasted energy. At the end of each strike, the air begins to warble and static on the feed, the littlest bit. As she keeps focused, the strikes will continue and continue. Through a final flurry of hits, a blast of blue energy launches from a clenched fist, which collides with a dummy, obliterating it. This seems to catch her off-guard, falling back onto her ass as she looks at the end result. Another discovery. The feed stops and is uploaded autonomously by an autoresponder.* ]
I kno≈ for a fact that it's not flat. I jumped ≈ith too much po≈er and sa≈ the curve.
Okay so I ≈as right to consider her a ≈orry. She'll be cut do≈n like the others.
Another. Mounting odds. This is ≈hy I need to seek out more po≈er still
≈ith this last ≈eek, I think I've reached a limit to ≈hat this po≈er can give me. It's great, it's fantastic, I'm feeling more lively and po≈erful than ever did in my youth, but still, I'm not sure if this ≈ill be enough. I may need to find alternate paths of potential.
Training has been. Rather difficult lately for one reason or another. But I continue my path.
Sobriety is starting to get to me. I slipped up, on the fun night Sunday, but. Being dry is making training difficult. Getting shivers. Seeing things. Other matters I ≈on't get into. I kno≈ if I ≈as around others I'd be like an ursabeast right no≈ I kno≈ it. I can understand the clo≈ns a little bit no≈. I ≈on't give in though. Enlightenment demands sacrifice. It's lighter on my caegers this ≈ay any≈ay. #substance
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
