regardless, being able to at least levitate would make falling off of something flying not that big a deal.

>>182453

Just sliiide into the cannon!

>>182516

I like the way you think. It'd be totally easier to change a kobold into a nedynvor than to figure out how to make a kobold get off the ground. Why not have both? You could have nedynvor with rocket boosters!

>>182597
My parents aren't that fuckin big of a deal, but you don't think so. But yes, I'd guess that would fuckin work.
>>182609
You like the way I think? Thank you, but I know I'm fuckin awesome already. And I have no idea what a rocket is.

>>182621

Rocket means to hurtle quickly through the air. Rocket boosters boost your flying speed, so that you rocket. Totally safe and not at all risky, I assure you. At any rate we need to tell Nirblim about your levitation idea.

And fine, I can stop complimenting you if you really want it.

>>182723
if you build them right, then yes they are safe. best test them on something else first but if it works then you will be the the fastest flier in the world.

>>182723
Hey, I didn't fuckin say 'stop complimenting me'! Quit putting words in my mouth! And I'll let you fuckin go over to Nir if you apologize for being so fuckin annoying.

>>182742
Alright sorry, it's difficult to problem solve.

Hey what about zebras? You can't ride on but they could.

>>182848
Zebras? Fuck, I forgot Rojo has one. I wonder where the fuck it is. They run almost as fast as nedynvor fly.

Better ask her. Where is she now?

>>182971
She's sitting by the fuckin fire drawing in the dirt with a stick. I walk over to her.
Carg:"Rojo, didn't you have a fuckin zebra?"
Rojo:"Yes."
Carg:"Where the fuck is it?"
Rojo:"It's somewhere around the spring in the forest. I think."
Carg:"You and Nir are goin to fuckin need it. I'm going to be flying tomorrow."
Rojo:"Noted."

okay then, anything else you want to do with us? if not then i guess send us to someone else, your choice.

>>183446
Nah. I'll fuckin send you to Rojo. She's the closest person here.

...

...

Now that I think Carg's done asking me questions, I should get back to thinking about the time and place of the date with Xom. Uggh... I have absolutely no idea where to go...

>>183454

How about go to the home of the Nedynvor? I hear that place is lovely this time of year.

i was thinking the moon. watching the sun rise over the earth is a sight to behold.

>>183526
The moon? I have absolutely no idea if he'd enjoy it. I also have absolutely no idea what's even on the moon.
>>183525
This sounds like a more reliable idea. At least we know it's a town, not like the moon. Seriously, all I know about the moon is that it creates darkness.

the moon is just a giant ball of rock that is very very very high up. it spins around the world. without it the waters of the world would be still and lifeless. i suggested the moon because you could see the earth from it. seeing the entire thing is astounding. also it would be very original and unique. anyone can go to a town for a date, but the moon?

>>183547
Just a giant ball of rock? I don't think there'd be much to do there but watch the earth and talk. Then again, Xom can summon things out of thin air. Okay, we'll go to the moon. Now... when should I go?

let's see... transport is no obstacle. would say the next time the sun and the moon are in the sky at the same time, would have the earth be well illuminated.

>>183562
It's settled then. I'll go the next time both the moon and the sun are visible. ...Huh. Carg dropped his sword here. I wonder if it really does talk.

>>183547

Just a giant ball of rock?

JUST a giant ball of rock?

The moon is an incredibly huge sphere formed of a terrible collision splitting the planet in twain back when the earth was still molten and glowing. The planet and its smaller half were knocked into a dizzyingly fast spin because of it, bringing about the days and nights that last for 1 day, not for months, and thus enabling all of life to exist at all! The moon is mostly rock, cooled rock as it being smaller than the earth has cooled faster over the eons, and pock marked with craters from where space rocks crashed into the moon, shielding the earth from them. The unimaginable time spent under this barrage has covered its surface in a fine layer of dust. Moon dust, if you will, that to this day has never seen a mortal footprint indent its surface.

I would never call it a giant rock. It's the sister of sunlight. The daybringer. The tide puller. It's the moon!

That said, the moon is really cold and you can't breathe there, and the sunlight is deadly (like how it would be on a mountain taller than any mountain you've been on) so it probably wouldn't make a great picnic spot. I still say a town full of Nedynvor off in the mountains somewhere would be suitably impressive.

>>183823
she is going out on a date with a god, pretty sure he can fix those problems.

anyway, let's check t out.

>>183823
Uh... noted. And there's no need to be so angry about it.
>>183824
So Xom can create breathable air? Hmmm... I pick up the sword.

zero

Zero? What's that supposed to mean?

ask it, direct your thoughts towards it instead of us. or maybe verbally? i dunno. see which get's a response.

>>183983
Umm... Hello? can you speak?

yes i can

Uh... what are you?

im a sword

Uh... I'm really at a loss for what to do now.

it responds directly, try "what do you mean by 'zero'" and "what do you do?"

>>183989
What do you mean by 'zero'?

zero have been slain

zero have been transfered

...Uh... What do you do?

i transfer the strength of those slain to the wielder

oh... um... huh. so torus has a sword just like this one? interesting, what would she need that for?

>>183994
I... don't know. Maybe she thought she was weak? Weak like I am? I need strength... but how do I change the sword so I don't have to kill anyone in order to get it?

killing a madman because he was trying to kill a loved one would be an act of good. so, in spite of it being a sword, use it as a shield, to protect all that is dear to you.

>>183999
A shield... Yes, I'll use it to protect. That is, if Carg will let me. I head on over to Carg.
Rojo:"Carg?"
Carg:"Yeah?"
Rojo:"Is it okay if I can use this sword?"
Carg:"What the fuck ever. Go ahead. I only stole it because I fuckin can."
Okay, if I'm going to be using this sword, I need to practice with it. Is there a proper way to practice?

yes, the first course is to be able to do 1000 overhead slashes with it in a row, no breaks. just raise it over your head and swing it as hard as you can in front of you. this get's your arms and hands used to swinging it. trying anything else wouldn't work right because your arms aren't accustomed to it.

>>184007
1000... That's a lot. I start practicing. Is there anything you'd like to as me, or should I send you to someone?

na, i think were good for now, send us too.... your pick.

>>184014
Okay, I'll send you... to... uh... I don't know. Want to talk with Arkan? If not, you can just have him send you back to me and I'll try again. Please don't hate me for it.

...

...

Man, I still wish Des didn't have to go. Fighting him was so much fun!

totally looked like you were having the best time ever. learn anything from it? like, better ways to fight.

>>184023
Why would I need to learn anything? I was doing fine against him. He's really good at dodging.

then obviously you need to train so you can punch faster, so that next time you see him you can actually hit him. best way to do that is to make it harder for you to do it. have someone tie a bunch of rocks to your claws and then just do whatever. after a few days you take the rocks off and your arms will go faster.

>>184025
Tying rocks to my hands so I can punch faster? That seems weird, but if it'll make me fight better, I'll do it. I walk over to Carg, since Rojo's busy swinging a sword.
Arkan:"Carg, I want you to find some rocks for me and tie them on my pincers."
Carg:"And why the fuck should I do that?"
Arkan:"It'll help me fight better."
Carg:"...What the fuck will you do for me if I do it?"

"i'll owe you one" that's the best i got for what you could give him.

>>184033
I have no idea what that means, but I'll say it anyway.
Arkan:"I'll owe you one."
Carg crosses his wings for a second and looks at me with a weird look on his face.
Carg:"Fine... Think about that fuckin favor. You have until I get back from my fuckin hometown."
Carg and I go into the woods to search for rocks. We gather up some, and he ties them to my pincers. Then he leaves to go to bed. What should I do now?

Punch a post of course!

>>184097
This, until either your arms get tired or you have other activities to do. Do this every day.
If it gets easy, move up to a rock or something.

>>184097
>>184100
I don't see any posts, so I'll just punch some trees. I begin. I punch slower. I thought you said punching with rocks tied to me would make me punch faster.

>>184103
Alright.
This is how this works.
It slows you down now, but if you can strain yourself to punch as quickly as you did without the rocks reliably, then when you remove the rocks you'll actually punch faster and harder.

>>184104
Oh. Well, why didn't you say that in the first place? I continue punching the tree. These rocks are pretty heavy. Nirblilm wasn't really all that good at creating me I guess.

>>184117
well from what we can tell your the first thing he's made and he doesn't seem to know that things as strong as Des exist, if he did he would of made you much stronger.

>>184170
Des seemed to only be a little stronger than me. And I think Nirblilm should have studied more before he created me. He made me weak. I have to train to become stronger when he should have made me the strongest thing ever. I may not be able to do my job to protect the tribe as good as I should.

I'll need to see him about that.
