001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

nah i meant like how is it different to have an all robot body? where i come from you can't do that, it's like - it turns someone into a zombie. but saint is definitely not that so im curious.

[valkywhee]

Not where I'm from. You can be all machine and still have a soul.

[wheyoftheadept]

thats hella cool.

[valkywhee]

How does that even work? Chop off an arm and it chops off an equal amount of soul? I hope nobody ever needs to get their appendix taken out where you're from.

[She thinks she's exaggerating to point out the ridiculousness, buuuuut...]

((listen the alternative is having to balance the tech and magic systems you can fanwank it away))

[wheyoftheadept]

i mean not really. losing it is fine, it's replacing it with tech that causes essence losss.

[Nora may recall at this point that Saturday herself has a metal right arm]

most people get cyber installed for bodymods, for medical stuff there's bioware which doesn't do that.

[valkywhee]

[Expecting Nora to notice things is...optimistic.]

Wait, why does replacing it with one thing mess you up, but another is ok???

[wheyoftheadept]

magic and tech don't really get along.

[valkywhee]

Souls aren't magic! Your world is weird.

[RWBY metaphysics is...interesting.]

a lot of places are if you didn't grow up in them
