Tales of Completely Random Strategizing
Word of advice: never stay up until 5AM with the Abyss muns in kureaaaa chat. Instead of our usual nutty all-caps insanity with Yuan? We get something completely different.
sodine (5:08:47 AM): Hmm... actually, guys?
vv_hyperion_vv (5:09:05 AM): Nyuu?
proud_illusion (5:09:06 AM): Yes Lukey?
sodine (5:10:09 AM): Meltokio had some soldiers, right? Some knights, if I remember correctly?
vv_hyperion_vv (5:10:22 AM): Mmn... yep.
sodine (5:10:37 AM): Wouldn't they be going around trying to defend the city and stuff?
proud_illusion (5:10:52 AM): Possibly...?
sodine (5:11:03 AM): At the very least, I'd imagine there'd still be some sticking around.
vv_hyperion_vv (5:11:10 AM): Probably.
sodine (5:11:36 AM): It's pretty much the capital, so they'd probably be doing their best to protect the citizens and royal family and stuff.
vv_hyperion_vv (5:12:03 AM): Yeah.
proud_illusion (5:12:11 AM): True enough... What IS the royal family doing anyway?
sodine (5:12:20 AM): I'm not sure.
proud_illusion (5:12:31 AM): Huh...
sodine (5:13:08 AM): Given that there's an attack, I'd imagine their protection would take priority. But I'm pretty terrible with strategic stuff.
proud_illusion (5:13:45 AM): True enough. Wouldn't they at least try to ensure the protection of their city for a bit...?
proud_illusion (5:13:56 AM): Or else they're gonna have a lecture from Natalia. :|
Which led to an intense discussion between the three of us on what the royal family would be doing, what the soldiers are doing, evacuation of the whole city, the geography around the Meltokio area to come up with a safe hiding place for the royal family, and what Yggs' crew would be doing in the midst of things. And how Natalia would be on the king's ass afterwards with lectures while Luke is just standing there in the back mentally facepalming and just attempting to stop her somehow.
Which also led to more intense discussion on the status of the situation in Meltokio once the Abyss cast arrived, and how they would get into the city if the front gate was out of the question. And also on how spellcasting mechanics would work for them--if even at all-- with the mana vs. fonons difference. Then we were discussing on how they'd devise a strategy with Arche to locate and get to Kratos and the others.
... Yeah, which is very different given our usual late night antics. And then...
vv_hyperion_vv (5:58:20 AM): ... No.. bad brain... no wanting to draw up a "city map" of all of Meltokio. Bad.
sodine (5:58:31 AM): Yuan and I were planning on apping him a little before or after the game comes out here-- oh my god. XD
sodine (5:58:41 AM): we should like
sodine (5:58:49 AM): rename this chat to
sodine (5:59:13 AM): "DDD STRATEGIES"
vv_hyperion_vv (5:59:16 AM): XXD
sodine (5:59:23 AM): or tales of strategies
sodine (5:59:26 AM): idk. XD
proud_illusion (5:59:37 AM): xDD As much fun as that sounds while I make a geographical map of the surrounding area and the quickest route to Sybak... I think I'll pass.
vv_hyperion_vv (5:59:52 AM): XD
vv_hyperion_vv (6:00:07 AM): If I can get images of Meltokio from above...
proud_illusion (6:00:12 AM): I'm watching as the Student Council turns Lelouch into a cat. =D
sodine (6:00:28 AM): I'm so cutpasting part of this to my journal. XD
vv_hyperion_vv (6:00:44 AM): XD
proud_illusion (6:00:45 AM): xD You should. I don't spend ALL of my time arguing with Yuan.
proud_illusion (6:02:40 AM): ....I think my brain's all out of strategies for tonight. I'll come up with a better plan for the Abyss cast to get in tomorrow morning.
vv_hyperion_vv (6:03:27 AM): I feel like such a zombie right now...
proud_illusion (6:03:58 AM): ....I'm gonna spend the rest of my night analyzing Arche's character and her ability to follow along with Jade's strategies... Someone save me.
sodine (6:04:16 AM): ohgoooood. XD
sodine (6:04:43 AM): this is the most random and productive random moment kureaaaa chat's had yet
vv_hyperion_vv (6:04:50 AM): Yeah. XD
sodine (6:04:55 AM): if it were just us and yuan? we'd be all capsing
proud_illusion (6:04:59 AM): Exactly. xD
proud_illusion (6:05:02 AM): Pretty much~
So, yep, that's right. We stayed up until 6AM, discussing strategies and what all the random NPCs would be doing during the Meltokio plot. I love you, DDD Tales chat. Never change. ♥
