ANCIENT REPTILIAN BRAIN - There is nothing. Only warm, primordial blackness. You don't have to do anything anymore.
LIMBIC SYSTEM - But what's this? An awareness creeps up on you. A jumping, juddering sensation forces your head up and your eyes open.
LOGIC [Easy: Success] - You are moving. On a cart of some kind.
INTERFACING [Trivial: Success] - Your hands are bound. This is a *problem*. With your magic digits out of action, you're helpless!
RALOF (BLOND BRAID GUY) - There is a blond man with a braid in his hair sitting across from you. He tries to get your attention: “Hey you! You're finally awake.”
CONCEPTUALISATION [Medium: Success] - He has piercing blue eyes. Oceanic.
RALOF (BLOND BRAID GUY) - “You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush. Same as us, and that theif over there.”
LOKIR, THE HORSE THEIF - He gestures towards the meek looking man next to him.
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Challenging: Success] - Imperial. Of the Empire. What Empire? *The* Empire. The great Empire of Men, centred at the Imperial City, in the Imperial Province of Cyrodiil. These guys used to rule the world.
AUTHORITY [Challenging: Failure] - Clearly they still do.
LOKIR, THE HORSE THEIF - “Damn you Stormcloaks! Skyrim was fine until you came along!”
EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - His sudden anger is a thin disguise for terrible, terrible fear.
LOKIR, THE HORSE THEIF - “Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn’t been looking for you, I could’ve stolen that horse and been half way to Hammerfell.” He turns to you. “You there. You and me—we shouldn't be here. It’s these Stormcloaks the Empire wants.”
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Formidable: Failure] - Stormcloaks?
CONCEPTUALISATION [Easy: Success] - Cool name.
RALOF (BLOND BRAID GUY) - “We’re all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief.”
RHETORIC [Medium: Success] - Brothers and sisters? Like he wouldn't trample over the lot of you for a chance to get out of here.
IMPERIAL SOLDIER - The cart driver speaks up: “Shut up back there!”
PERCEPTION (HEARING) [Easy: Success] - Silence.
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Medium: Success] - You watch the snowflakes dance in the air.
SHIVERS [Easy: Success] - This land is cold. Bitterly cold.

i dont trust anybody who dislikes any of the undersider girls or actually any of the undersiders in general. except maybe alec not that i dislike him but when i first read worm i had something against him because i have something against all white boys named alec. it is just a very sinister thing to me

i hear you're taking suggestions for more undersiders art here's the predictable alec-fixated looming i do every time someone says they're taking suggestions. hear me out what if aisha and alec were hanging out being silly. gossipping mischievously or throwing snacks at each other's mouths perhaps

god . i just remembered the part in worm where rachel says "i don't like [eidolon]" and another random hero at the fight responds with "nobody does." i really need to keep rereading worm absolutely no book executes the concept of a superman-type cape like worm. i don't even know how to articulate analysis of that line because it's just like. well it's all right there isn't it. incredible incredible character conceit. Nobody Likes Him. what if a genre-commentary on the type of plot devices that are intrinsically necessary to justify the existence of a superman-type cape went hard as hell what then

you know how in sitcoms when the main cast dont have enough to afford the cool new item they all desperately want so they do the sketchiest and most absurd jobs they can for pocket change and it always either ends with them in hot dog costumes holding signs on the street forever or dogsitting for the old nefarious woman who lives in the giant victorian mansion down the street. thats what i imagine the travellers doing in their spare time

Had a long, rambling post in my drafts which I'm pretty sure has likely since been obviated by the commentary of others, but it's really interesting to me how Aisha basically picks up and carries out the remainder of Alec's telegraphed character arc after his death. Cherish shows up in the narrative when she does to remind Alec that his "fresh start" as Regent left a ton of his siblings trapped in Heartbreaker's orbit, that Heartbreaker himself is still out there; his character development over the course of the book involves becoming more and more of the kind of guy who'd eventually go back and try to resolve that in a big thematically resonant showdown. Unfortunately, as a direct result of the process of becoming that guy he gets prematurely turboexploded, so Aisha ends up being the one to sink her time and energy into resolving that dangling plot thread. And it's interesting to me because it almost reads like Aisha makes that decision thinking of the world she lives in in terms of dangling plot-threads and unfinished character arcs- narrativizing their own lives as a way of coping? I mean her last interlude is shot full of theatricality, performativity. Theatre motifs abound with the two of them in general. I dunno, there's a meta vibe to the whole thing that I'm not caffeinated enough to really try and flesh out or defend as really truly present in the text, but it feels like there's something there...

i saw your radiohead post so what music do you think the travelers would have liked :)
thank you anon for this ask because it is the single best response i could have gotten from the radiohead post! sorry i took so long to answer but i wanted to give it some thought:
noelle: all jokes aside, i do stand by noelle listening to radiohead. in general i think she really likes sad dude alternative rock and indie, because it's alt and nerdy enough to fit her tastes, it validates the fact that she is going through it in high school, and, you know, noelle does have a pretty high tolerance for edgy-of-center guys who may or may not suck. the fact that the original car seat headrest twin fantasy came out in 2011 is honestly so sad because noelle got simurghed before she could hear it......... i think it would have helped her immensely
krouse: does a complete overhaul of his taste when he meets noelle, in conjunction with him getting good at games. i think krouse has a more pop-sounding version of noelle and luke's tastes, so he likes muse, the killers, etc. his annoying music opinion is that he will go to bat for coldplay and nickleback just to get a rise out of people. he genuinely likes coldplay but does not like nickleback.
marissa: some top 40 and singer-songwriter. marissa probably has the most "basic" taste, but i also think her taste is influenced by her experience as a dancer, so it's not bad taste! she's just not into the mopey stuff that noelle likes. i think mars likes rihanna and i also think she is the traveler who is most likely to be a swiftie. the band that unites noelle, mars, and jess is paramore.
jess: the traveler who probably cares most about music as an art form, as well as things like genre, etc. listens to art rock bands like yeah yeah yeahs. jess likes pop punk and pop emo, but will also firmly inform you that MCR is not emo. (this is an activity she and krouse like to do together.) i think jess has slowly been approaching getting into more DIY guitar music, like midwest emo and math rock, but, like noelle, tragedy struck before she could get there.
luke: pop punk, grunge, and other assorted varieties of Dude Music. luke likes green day, foo fighters, blink-182, and queens of the stone age. listens to a little kanye from time to time, which is a point of slight contention between him and mars, although i do think he is chill about the 2009 vmas.
oliver: i don't see oliver being super opinionated about the music he listens to, honestly, i think he just kind of goes with the group. you have never met a person who has less wanted to be on the aux. this is a guy who probably could have used linkin park but i think linkin park makes him too scared
cody: given how dedicated cody is to gaming, i think that he's the traveler who listens to the most video game soundtracks. he also listens to Epic Music mixes on youtube and a very small amount of tame nu metal
