Library Of Blah (is anything but "blah")
as previously stated. i have been playing library of ruina lately, because it is relaxing to me. it is an ideal habitat for brewing nefarious mind-concoctions, especially where blahblahdummy is concerned.
refresher for anyone who has no idea: blahblahdummy is where my lobcorp OCs live. the jumbled up AU version of the City where they live, in short. there is space in it. it's called what it is because, well, say "blahblahdummy" out loud kind of fast. kinda sounds like lobotomy, right? it is not because I think anyone in it is blah or a dummy, its silly wordplay.
of course, i now feel obligated to expound upon the fantastic things everyone in blahblahdummy has been up to. in the form of a jumbled up listy-thing.
it's going to be a really, really long listy-thing, so to spare your dashes here be a readmore. yes, tumblr shortens long posts if you let it, but the humble readmore is just common courtesy for me at this point.
So lemme get the two joke floors out of the way!
because I'll be showing off every floor I've got in Ruina as of this moment. Every floor has a theme to it, however loose it may be. I don't quite have enough OCs to fill the whole floor and have it be organized-feeling (I like things feeling organized) so two floors are silly. plus, it's nice to be silly.
so what's the first joke floor?
Touhou floor! There are enough Touhou-themed keypages on the workshop to fill a whole floor. So that's what Hokma will be dealing with. I hope he likes drinking parties.
And the second floor is even sillier.
I call it: Rollie Pollie Keep On Roland!
Okay, jokes over. Now for what you've all been waiting fooooor~! Or... waiting floor? yes, the way i'll be talking about each floor does correlate a bit to how i actually have them set up, but not always. also won't be talking about the sephirah because we all know em, we all love em.
History~! Floor Theme: breakfast family and guest. this theme has never deviated, ever, from day one. who the "guest" is changes from playthrough to playthrough, but this time it is The Pebbermalk. i miss you every day, malkuth-drinks-dr-pepper.
the team's gameplan when fighting is usually overwhelming with burning attacks, as is standard in history. however, prof, in lieu of such attacks, prefers to act as support. she can't really use Burn without overheating. you don't want to see an overheating Prof.
ad prefers to get up close and personal. she really only goes "attack! attack! attaaaaaaack!!! RARGH!" at things. she isn't good with packing heavy swings, though. She also leaves herself wide open a lot, especially when she's trying to keep the heat off Eggs. she's always got one eye on the enemy, one eye on Eggs. Ad is admittedly pretty stoked that she can protect Eggs just as he protected her when she was little.
eggs has gotten meltier with time, hence the weird way he looks. was trying to go for a "overtaken by void" look. anyhoo, eggs lacks finesse, though he at least tries unlike Ad. the two make a pretty good duo, being the bigger damage dealers. Eggs gets scared pretty easily though, especially if Ad can't cover for him or vice versa. His head is muddled these days, and he loses focus more easily than he did back in the day... he doesn't like to fight much, so whenever he can, he sits out.
as stated, Prof doesn't use heated weapons. she's usually the one calling out enemy intents, and rallying formation and all. she also uses Library magic to fill her exhaust vents with Smoke to soften up targets the usual approach doesn't work with. she kind of needs to keep venting out heat in a floor with so much of it, so why not weaponize it?
when they aren't bashing skulls in or sorting books, everyone is usually running off to other floors to gather tips. except Ad. Ad just hangs out. she doesn't need any knowledge. she's got a hammer! or her fists. depends on the day.
Prof of course gets mad when someone Staggers her kids, but she gets a lot angrier when it's Eggs. Well, more visibly angry, anyway. Because Eggs is more sensitive to such things than Ad is.
Technology~! This floor's theme is Denny, Ayehop, And Guests. Again, the guests usually change, and the theme has been around since Day 1. For some reason Terrence usually shows up here, though.
I haven't actually messed around with Yesod's floor much outside of realizations yet, so I don't have a big idea on how they operate yet.
Denny usually packs most of the big smacks, though. she's the only one with enough arm strength to make a big enough impact to where her attacks trigger Forsaken Murderer's boons.
It's surprisngly Ayehop who's the biggest technician of the floor. She may be silly with it, but she's good at coordinating everyone. She can be scary when she's focused, and likes complex tactics. And no, she doesn't argue with Denny about force VS finesse. There are better arguments for them to get into. Like which type of Offensive dice is the best. Ayehop thinks it's Evade, and no points for guessing Denny's.
Justin fucking hates his job. He doesn't like carelessly taking lives. And he ESPECIALLY doesn't like how Ayehop and Denny gamify it. He'll follow orders Ayehop gives because he sees results, but he'll be cursing under his breath and calling her names the entire time.
Terrence... is... um, he's Terrence alright. He spends more time thinking of lines than practicing fighting and it shows. It's not that he's bad at it, or that he half-asses it, but it's pretty easy to get him to drop his guard. At least he's learned his lesson about Whitenight, though. Maybe that's why he's putting in so much effort...
Ayehop always makes it a point to gather everyone up after a fight and give out one compliment each. "Sis, great work as always, you got them to drop their guard at just the right time! Mister Yesod, good focus out there! Justin, you were real fast, and always where we needed you most, when we needed you most! Terrence, that line about the gates of heaven always being open was dope."
Justin isn't allowed to use the Abnormality pages Funeral Of The Dead Butterflies gives out. He gets scary.
Yes, Ayehop says "OBJECTION!" when letting out a huge attack. And "HOLD IT!" when intercepting. She has my autism specifically and im very proud of her for it.
Literature~! Floor's theme: the primary trio and Kelly. Those Three Guys And That One Girl. Another mainstay.
Hod is the sponge, and Butter is the main killing machine. Tony keeps the heat off of Butter when he inevitably takes a few scrapes, and Dizzy inhibits enemy movement to make Hod's interceptions and Butter's rampages easier. Kelly is the spotter, of sorts, calling out enemy movement and tactics.
We all know what Butter likes: violence. He still doesn't really like to see people get hurt, but he can reassure himself that the Guests will be able to come back like he can one day. At the end of the day, he gets a chance to let loose. And let loose he does. Invariably, Butter is attached to Bamboo-Hatted Kim's keypage and the Axe abnormality page. You try to take either of those things away from him, and he'll.......get really mopey and probably bitch about it for a couple hours.
Tony, Tony, Tony... He's glad he can finally take off the Whitenight suit. Yes, he's wearing it in the screenshot, but that's just because it's his iconic look. He's a bit of a worrywart, though. After fights, Tony is always panicking, asking if everyone's OK and getting painkillers. In the actual fights, though, he's quite the trash-talker. He might actually enjoy it more than Butter... anger issues do that.
Dizzy is as graceful on their feet as they are with a pen. They're eerily silent when they're fighting, and sometimes for a little bit after. They admit it's a case-by-case basis of either being intensely focused, or just not wanting to fall prey to people hearing their voice and not taking them seriously like how it was in Lobcorp.
When fighting, Kelly tends to forget her manners. Sure, she's always pretty brusque, but she gets way worse on the field. Every word she says has to be just right. Breath used to apologize could be used to warn about an incoming attack. She doesn't always smooth things over after, either, unless an argument breaks out or her attitude made things worse.
Oh god the book clubs these guys hold. Everyone wants to read something different. Butter just wants to read comic books, Tony wants to read classic lit, Dizzy wants poetry, and Kelly just wants everyone to decide already.
Art is Team Little Guys! Xavier and Amber are the OCs of a friend of mine who prefers to keep a low Tumblr profile (the ever famous EC, if that's a familiar name), so they'll be mostly skipped. Just know that, if you know, you know, and yes there are lots of glitterbombs on this floor.
Piercing attacks are the name of the game, as is always typical. Nobody here knows how to play defensively. Netzach tries to teach them, but the closest he's ever gotten to getting through to Team Art is that they... kind of try not to get too reckless with it.
Mintie is the biggest example of someone who has no idea what "careful" means. They are a living example of "unga bunga." Through their trash talk and extremely reckless actions, though, they really just wanna keep the rest of the floor from getting hurt. There's two little guys here, after all.
Opal here has never been seen before, so let me provide a little background for them! They're a member of an Office called Corkscrew Office which specializes in slow infiltration. They're very good friends with Xavier. They're also another one of the lauded Void Experiments, like Eggs and Voice and whoever else. Luckily they get Rescued before any trauma can happen! And yep, they're rocking fox ears. You'd think there would be more fox ear hairstyles around the workshop, but no, this is the best one i could find...
As for how Opal fits into the floor, they're... well, they look to everyone else for what to do. They're really not good at this at all so they try and copy whatever someone else is doing at any given time. It rarely works out. Corkscrew was a stealth Office, dammit!!!
Natural Sciences! Here There Be Buny. (And Sammy. He's just happy to be here.) Lux is an OC belonging to that same friend of mine who keeps a low Tumblr profile, so again he'll be skipped. Just know he's buny.
Usually Ari goes in General Works, but I was suggested one floor be a bunch of Patrons and there are plenty of unique-looking Rolands on the workshop, so here they go.
I have no idea how to describe the things Nat Sci does. They're a real motley bunch, but they make it work.
Ari is the real heart of the group. The glue! Just don't ask them to give everyone training. Not that they're bad at it. They will, however, go get their exercise CD and enforce a dance routine in order to practice being in sync. "Remember, it's not about the dancing! It's about learning to read each other's moves without having to look at each other! It's OK if you look sloppy so long as you keep the beat and match what everyone else is doing!"
Sammy's not used to being unable to shapeshift as freely as he used to be. He's also not used to his resting form being humanoid. But he's very happy about getting to hang out with Ari regularly again. In Lobcorp they were in different layers, and before then they hadn't seen each other in 5 years.
Marmalade did not expect to be roped into the Library. She was just at Lobcorp to retrieve Ari safely. She didn't even expect to be in Lobcorp for as long as she did. But she's cool with it, she just has RBF. She also works the hardest when Ari gives out impromptu homework. She also has the most fun, both in battle and during training sessions. Again, though, RBF. And a monotone.
Ari hates Burn decks. Lux uses a Burn deck. They have complicated feelings about this.
Where is Language? The "Dead Branch!" AKA, the suckers at the Lobcorp branch I've got that isn't Blahblahdummy. I haven't picked up Lobcorp itself in ages because it's stressy and also it's kinda bugged for me until I update this one mod I use, but I have enough nugs to fill the floor out.
I also don't really mess with Gebura's floor a lot... Although mostly it's because I haven't really beaten the Red Mist reception yet in this go-around. Hence, the missing member. I dunno which Dead Branch member I'll put there. Probably Asparagus from good ol' Silly Lobcorp OC Ideas. That one lives on in my heart as well.
Salem has to get used to such frequent combat. It's less that she's opposed to it, and more that she has no idea how to fight with her own strength and strategy instead of the power of EGO and orders from a manager. She hounds the other Floors for training a lot... but she doesn't feel like she's retaining much!
Midoriko is confident in herself, but, well, shares Salem's sentiment of being used to the EGO doing the fighting. She tends to hang back and take potshots at stragglers instead of going up ahead and taking the lead like everyone else does. She hopes that nobody notices. Everyone has, but only Gebura has said anything about it.
Good ol' Nuclear Power Plant is surprisingly taking this pretty well. She has a tendency to coach Midoriko and Salem in the middle of a reception, which ticks Gebura off a little bit because "Hey? Annoucning our strategy to the enemy?"
Nobody knows how the Dead Branch got here. They just kinda... showed up. Nobody is complaining, though. "We're in this together!"
We've got a special group here in Social Sciences! We've got 3 Void Experiments who I've been bouncing around in my head for a while but never mentioned at all until now. The gears are always turning here in Kira's Brain Productions.
Unfortunately, explaining how they do in the floor would require explaining them all entirely, and I'm losing steam and the temperature is getting to me, so we'll have to pass them up for now. Maybe if I get reminded I can talk about them in more detail later, but for now just know they exist and they're all friends.
Speaking of "they exist," here's Philosophy with... people who sure do exist! The floor theme here is "new arrivals;" people who just showed up out of nowhere like Roland did. I threw all of them together just using random Workshop stuff I had lying around.
Deca has some lore to him (he had the good luck of existing, albeit designless, before the playthrough), but that's it. The other two thus far are brand new inventions. And since they're in Philosophy, they haven't seen much fight yet, so I haven't made them banter with each other in my head yet. So they just kinda have no personality for now. Deca aside. Deca is a mess. He's great. He's doing so normal.
We'll see if Team New Arrivals makes an impact.
and that's all I've got! Ask questions if you feel like it. If you don't remember any Blahblahdummy, or don't know it at all because you never followed my lobcorp OC sideblog, all's fair questions.
phew!
