I'm cold

i have a headache so the pace may be slower than usual

Hello sorry I was a bit tied up.
I'm good to go now.

wow i actually named that guy shift

shifty*

I have a memory for silly things.

what's wrong with thomas

I am very cold

but what's wrong with thomas

If you're cold, get a COAT.

wait why are you cold

We are one

I'm not sure I just suddenly got cold
I think all my body heat is radiating out of my back

you should go to the doctor
you probably have sun poisoning

like legit if there's a 24 hour clinic you should go

I ain't got money for that!

If it doesn't get better in half an hour, get your arse to a clinic.

you could legit die dude

getting chills with sun poisoning is a really bad sign
it means your brain isn't working

That is HORRIFYING
maybe I'll just shut off the A/C.

it's an internal temperature regulation issue

what other symptoms do you have
i'm really worried

You should take your temperature to see if you have a fever.

I can do that.
>>200472
I'm looking at the list but I may also be a hypochondriac.
Or at the very least easily swayed by power of uh
suggestion

if it's sun poisoning it's going to start getting worse
did you use a high SPF?
you were in the water for three hours in the sun
even like 30 minutes is long enough to get sun poisoning for some people

Temperature is 97.8 which should be within reasonable margin of error, and I'm feeling a little warmer?
But I turned off the a/c/

what symptoms are you experiencing

not nausea, not //
oh okayu
uh
Well I was cold like I said
I'm obviously sunburned
I was a little thirsty but that might be reasonable as all I've had today was diet soda.

not from the list
what are you experiencing in general

sun poisoning causes dehydration
can you move and jump around normally

Yeah, that's why I mentioned the thirst.

Let's find out

movement seems pretty fine

I may have some level of headache?
It's minor.

does it hurt to jump?

no

okay
make sure you drink a ton of water
if you have gatorade or powerade drink that too
and if you start to have pain anywhere you need to see a doctor also if you feel numbness anywhere
sun poisoning is no joke

I'm having a little pain in one spot but I think it could be unrelated.

where?

sent

that's probably unrelated yeah

Fascinatnig

well if anything gets worse you need to go to the doctor
people die from sun poisoning all the time

don't speculate too much please.

There's no need to speculate, it has to be your butthole.

Speculation is my strong point.

Jokes on you nerd I didn't visit PAN

Are we good to go then?

Yeah. Sorry.
>>200511
haha

I mean Tony's safety is more important than the game, no need to apologize.

is going to the park what everyone wants to do

I vote yes.

Sure.

i'm going to assume that's a yes

"to so high they blot out the sun. They encapsulate the party and devour them. Bad Ending 26."

you can roll preparedness to get those explosives

YO WHAT
THAT WAS A SMALL BOMBS JOKE

T I N Y B O M B S

difficulty 20

o-oh...

I couldn't even go that high with my riding skill.

microscopic bombs in 1934 are you outta your mind

you tricked me

I got excited because I hadn't used any preparedness this chapter and had 5 whole points.

can we make out any details of the statue from thsi distance?

it looks like it's shaped like a man with a large snake

for a head, in his arms, or elsewhere?

his dick
jk

there's a man and a serpant
two separate objects in one statue

sorry my writing's not that great since i've got a headache haha

magicy barrier or just your average material barrier

i can't think of the word
like
the shit they use to separate lines at the movies

partition.

yes
partitions

thank you trivia nee-chang

what if thomas just
rushes the throne and threatens everyone with a bomb

Probably a bad idea.

probably.

You're on your own if you do that.

when you want to ask him if everybody is the creator but you're pretty sure it's a bad idea

There's probably a difference between the architect and creator.

This may come off as offensive but do we recognize this person at all?

you do not

ok

WHY DON'T YOU IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZE ALL MY VAGUELY DESCRIBED RED PEOPLE

Are you scared?

difficulty 6 to throw the pineapple and get him with it

That's intense
but expected.

I have 0 remaining athletics.

i will let you spend two explosion to lower the difficulty to 5

Thomas is likely going to choose from different options.

Why are we throwing bombs at him anyway?
Were we told to blow him up?

idk, thomas wants to throw a bomb at him

Chicagoan wanted us to figure out the creator of this city.
...Though I can't quite remember why or in trade for what.

he's going to teach you magic in exchange for it

Riiiight.
I wonder if he'd recognize this guy from appearance.

Does anyone have an umbrella from previous instances

Quick refresh.
Singing Bear was Evil Vice President's subordinate that controls the shadow-walking vampire thing, right?

More-or-less, yeah.
He has Archie captive.

Oh.

I'm not 100% sure we were in on that but it's not a far step to infer it considering circumstances.

Strikes-the-Blood told you about it in the hut. He said you have to do this magic shit so you can stop Singing Bear, save Archie, and get the book.

Is it at all possible to Assess Honesty with what he's saying here?

you can yeah

How many points, just one?
Or is it a roll.

though I can't imagine he'd be lying to us
he has us in quite a bind since dying makes us lose things we came here for.

Yeah just one
It's a spend

Well I've got them aplenty, I'll spend one.

>i can't imagine he'd be lying to us

This guy's a showy villain type.
They don't lie but I've been wrong before.

>>200674
I'll play it safe whenever death is involved.

SEE.

Well, there's a reason Thomas isn't your party's go-to for judge of character.

>tfw your personal feelings of trust and trustworthyness cause you to be a liability in tabletop games.

Well a plucky, Pollyanna character is still entertaining.

I take it that's an // a native american word and not something Thomas has picked up with his newfound language skills

it's an Arapaho word yeah

yes that.

Thomas is trying so hard to connect on a scientist-to-scientist level with this guy.

I'm expecting him not to be scientisty at all , all things considered.

unfortunately, SB is not a scientist
he's a cultist

Well maybe scientists all just belong to THE CULT OF SCIENCE.

Oh no.

Probably should have taken care of that ACTION earlier, huh.

Thomas has a thought to share with his friends that attacking the creator with items made from his dream world is probably not going to go well.

Kirara wouldn't have given us the opportunity to stock up if the things he gave us were worthless.
Well, he wouldn't have wasted so much time on it, at least.

If push comes to shove, I have a machine gun that I created, though. I will just have to risk my stability to make ammo for it.

It's an investment in our suffering.

Well Felicity also still has two perfectly normal? guns on hand.
Ones brought into the dream world by herself and not ones procured in this City of Dreams.

And Thomas has a tiny bomb and 2 mcguffens

I'm a little impressed a Native American man from the Wild West in the 1930s even knows of Nessie.

Nessie was pretty famous by 1933 and there was a very intelligent white churchman on the reservation that would get the news from the military and stuff and share it with the natives

Would an acidic-type explosive constitute small or mcguffen

This could go reaaaaaaaally wrong.

probably mcguffen

Is the rest of my crew willing to risk horrible ideas

Horrible ideas that might get us immediately and directly killed?

If my theory is true and we're about to see a giant water snake, throwing acid into the water and having that mix could either REALLY mess it up or turn it into a giant acid snake instead.
And one that would be angry at us too.
Moreso than now.

hmm
i wonder if calling something cancer is historically accurate at this point

Man I wonder how differently this whole game may have gone if one of us had randomly chosen to play a Native American character.
Or well, any ethnicity beyond Caucasian.

We're playing uh
Original flavor so you AREN'T ALLOWED

>>200743
easy
blacks are just slaves of the whites you're basically whites you blacks!
you are red but you are siding with the whites???? you apple

I was really disappointed reading "five feet" after expecting "five stories"

Damnit Tony.

On a side note, a puddle that's large enough to give birth to a snake that's fifty feet thick does start to feel like it's not quite a puddle any more.

i did say large puddle

haha

The sentiment was properly communicated though.

your backup plan was suicide?

Well, if I drop acid inside a water snake
SOMETHING might happen

Or maybe just flinging the bag into its gaping maw.

do you think your acid is more acidic than the stomach of an ancient water snake of that size

It's a thought!

Small thought here, if we showed the snake respect and didn't shoot it right off the bat, what are the odds that it doesn't lunge at us with no time to react.

well it's pretty big so it's gonna telegraph its moves and give you time to react if it does attack

but if you properly show respect, it won't have a reason to attack you

also before rika thinks it, no, you can't use riding on it

holy shit that would be dope

fuck that pussy ass deer this things is a god

RIDE THE WORM

it picks up the gun with its tongue and points it at VV
"sssssssssss"

oh shit

I have a gun so it's only fair that he have a gun too.

how honorable

You should have dropped the imaginary gun.
Or was that the imaginary one you did drop.

Yes, that was what I did.
I have the tommy gun that I created, a GUN from the GUN store, and the axe.

there's a gun and a GUN

Quick polling.
On a dial of one to ten, how pandering do you think talking to it should be?

I've been wanting to try talking for like 5 minutse but I'm face down in a puddle trying to look respectful

I think we should offer it something nice.
All I have is weapons and some medical supplies, though.

I would offer the book or have boss do something with the book
The key thing
That one object

I don't think we kept the book.
The Key is imprinted in Felicity's mind or something.

It's the Key to Hiintcabiit's heart!

I have 3 stability.
Do we want to take the road of doge-
oh

No.

I mean whatever YOU want to do is up to you.
But Thomas is already -this- close to being a gibbering madman.

I happened to do a little reading on the Arapaho one day and they were one of the warrior centric tribes so wallowing around in the muck like a cuck probably isn't the way to win his heart.
I though he'd like weapons but he really didn't.
They also liked feathers and headdresses and stuff, but I don't have anything like that.

I will be honest, recommending Thomas start prostrating himself was in part a security to keep a lid on what ever he might say for a small period of time.

did you just call thoams a cuck

Wow, you did some reading on the Arapaho?
Have you awakened to how great native americans are?

>>200847
damn

>I'm gonna summon a giant snake monster from a puddle and it's TOTALLY gonna wreck these white-faced losers
>My face when the giant snake is instead rather cordial and engages in conversation with them

>>200849
I don't know if I'm an indianaboo or anything but I did read up on them just a little bit.

>>200858
Like on Wikipedia?

Well instead of falling for the "villain that doesn't lie" type of trope we got "foolish guy who expects gods to listen to him"

>>200859
Yeah, just trying to get a sense of what kind of tribe they were.
Every tribe kinda has its own flavor.

No seriously, feathers.
Have we seen any feathers here?

I remember you guys seeing a bird.

>>200863
The Arapaho were very violent.

They may have even aided in the genocide of a race of pygmies.

Oh fuck.

>>200866
Yup, that was about what I expected.

I AM THE GREATEST

I don't remember birds, so please refresh my memory.

the one that nearly bombarded boss

The first thing we found in this dream world was a white...raven? Crow? some kind of bird that decided to bombard Felicity before vanishing into the foliage.
Chasing it brought us to an open plain with a mountain in the distance where shortly after we found the...Zoog that tried to eat Thomas' bag of tricks from the inside out.

raven

do you guys want to stop soon? it's pretty late

probably

Oh yeah I wasn't watching the time.

Tony how are you feeling?

health or sleep-wise

I can infer sleep-wise.

I'm not as cold.
Might drink some more water though
Head feels about the same
>>200888
figures

oh gosh

No maybe.
Drink that fucking water.
All things considered you're probably dehydrated regardless.

Very few people actually drink the amount of water they need to hydrate properly throughout the day.

you're probably going to feel miserable for a week or more
if you don't drink enough water, it's possible that your organs could shut down so make sure you drink water

that is, if you have sun poisoning

Wow, sun poisoning is serious business huh?

dude to heck with the sun
I'm never going outside again

Yeah. Sun poisoning is really bad.
It affects your brain really badly and can cause nerve damage. It can harm the circulation to your organs and cause them to shut down if you're unlucky and don't drink enough.
It can also cause permanent scaring and significantly increases your chance of skin cancer in the affected area.

When I was in high school someone at school died from it.
My dad also got sun poisoning once, too.

His wasn't that bad, though.
I've had sun stroke and that's not good either.

I'd like to say this isn't the first time I've had this happen?

I've never been beaten by the sun!

Yeah, I haven't been sunburned since I was a child.
I'm not a normie who gets too much sun.
Also my skin is immune to the sun.

I don't get sunburned.

Even when I had sunstroke, I didn't get sunburn.
