Who ⬤ Ganymede and Co.
What ⬤ Dungeon-crawlin' with four people pt. redux. What can go wrong?
When ⬤ Following this, and other times at misc. moments (accounting for the future.)
Where ⬤ Concealed Mourning Bulwark, Closed Failing Pilgrim, & Pulsating Black Old World
Content Warnings ⬤ None and not anticipating any!
[ Ganymede has spoken to at least...two of these people, once.
That's what probably makes it reasonable for him to come along on the party raid.
Following conversation on the network and elsewhere, all three responsible receive new emails bidding them to come to the Chaos Gate. Ganymede is already awaiting their appearances.
Fortunately, so is information regarding their keywords, which are "Concealed Mourning Bulwark".
Once the Chaos Gate warps them over, they'll find...
...That they are all in an area that's more or less a stormstruck plain stretching from end to end. Right in the middle of this field is a flesh wall dungeon, the beginning point of the actual dungeon itself. ]

[ effort is being made here. if they could cook in any capacity, they would try to make the dish. but they can't and it's way too early in the century for uber eats and doordash. ]
But doesn't the hunger help fuel the battle high? I think that's what it's called, isn't it? I feel like my spells are thirty percent more powerful now that I'm thinking about pork roast and parsley sauce - take that! GiVak Don!
[ a flurry of flames hits the mob for critical damage, unaided by ganymede's physical boost (c'mon cousin...). it's enough to take out all three of them. ]
See?

[ well if we're being buffed up and depending on the kind of damage that hani is putting out, uta will sure enough finish off any that are left (or anadio will do that for all of them). let them clear out the rest of the dungeon so that can get that sweet, sweet treasure.
...whatever it may be. just as long as it isn't something bad. regardless she laughs at both hani and ganymede's comment about food. she can't help but agree with hani. ]
See?
[ echoing hani because give her a reason not to. ]
If any of you try it, you should definitely tell me. I want to hear your opinions.
no subject
I'll let you know. Maybe if they don't have it anywhere back home I can just look up the recipe and make it myself.
[ He is just independent like that. Speaking of which, it's time to move on! The last wave meets an unsightly death, let us say, at the hands of this jolly four-band group of intrepid dungeon runners. Ganymede also remembers that he has a magic strengthening spell and recalls to use it in this battle by the by.
Once that final bit of enemies was cleared through, there's only treasure that remains. ]
...After this, I'm definitely going to grab a snack, though.
[ Talking about food has definitely made Ganymede hungry. And speaking of talking, there's the strange Silvermane Kudan hanging around, so Ganymede is going to go ahead to kick it with his foot. In which he starts to hear some kind of forbidden knowledge or something?? Not that he understands it. His face looks completely befuddled. ]
no subject
"Man who runs in front of a car gets tired. Man who runs behind a car gets exhausted."
[And with that, the Silvermane Kudan disappears in a puff of colorful smoke.]
no subject
[ hani claps. they dunno what they're supposed to do with this info but wow, amazing! ]
no subject
uta also has no idea what to do with this information??? sorry she forgets everything that happened before this because?? ??? ????? ]
Was this a warning about not getting hit by a car?
no subject
[ Heavy judgment on his end but a game is a game, right?
In this case as far as he's concerned, this doesn't mean anything that makes sense. ]
no subject
[ is that even lore appropriate… ]
Maybe it’s a metaphor for a really tough decision.
no subject
[ poor ganymede for dealing with hani and uta momentarily sharing the same brain cell through all of this. but at least she won't let this drag on for too long...?? ]
If it was a metaphor then it was a very bad one. There are already perfectly good metaphors for things like that.
no subject
[ It'd ruin the fantasy aspect of this all, he thinks. Though speaking of which... ]
I agree. It's a terrible metaphor, if it is one at all.
[ He doesn't even want to think too hard about it!! ]
no subject
[ just grinning at the look on ganymede's face. ]
no subject
sorry ganymede...... ]
The one that a lot of people use is "a rock and a hard place", but I guess that's more of an idiom.
[ hmm. ]
"Every hallway has an open door, however, not every door takes you where you want to go."
no subject
What's the point of saying one like that?
no subject
[ chinhands! ]
For example, if the choice before you and the choice behind you were similar. One door leads to Stegt flæsk med persillesovs and the other door leads to Steak Flakes Persimmons. [ similar???? ] You would have similar reasons for picking either, but the reality is you can only go through one door at a time.
no subject
[ ganymede is here to suffer all by his lonesome. may he drag them off to the chaos gate or something in due time....
meanwhile uta will laugh at hani's counter. ]
But you're right; that's the basics of it. Metaphors are just ways to better describe concepts. There are some that can bring up some fun though puzzles. I wouldn't call the one that I picked being one of those.
no subject
Ganymede just looks increasingly tired even as the two continue to speak. But, this is unfortunately his life now? It's totally fine.png ]
I know what metaphors are.
I just think it's a stupid one. I'm not going to think too hard about it either way since it doesn't help any single one of us. How about we get to moving, anyway?
no subject
[ already moving ahead, cuz. ]
Why don't you make up a new metaphor then, Gani-kun? What do you think, Uta-kun? That sounds fair, right?
