Hoth: Blood and Ice

I don't think I got all of it that I encountered right (I definitely had 'black' by the wrong end until quite late, and never quite fully sorted 'orange'), but I really enjoyed bouncing Tethys off of the Gree language stuff.

<3

Did you enjoy the yellow veritcals and purple vertices? I actually really did, yes! I had a lot of fun with the Gree-speak puzzle. I was happy to have serendipitously brought a character with the right temperament/educational background/etc. to want to engage with it IC. That meant I could poke at ...

[snip] Aww, Eralynn so terrible. Nemesis!!! <3 It was really fun getting to look back in-character on how formative that was for Tethys. I'm glad you got a kick out of it too. :D But how could I forget the greatest Sith of us all? I don't think I actually ever brought it out but Shelzais represente...

I only have one question. Did Tethys ACTUALLY like Draahg?? Didn't see that little blirb coming back in the domestic disturbance thread Oh, haha, that goes back to the first game Tethys appeared in. She originally met Draagh ten years earlier, during the Mandalorian invasion of Bankor (a planet ine...

Others have said it but really good Jedi depiction.

Been a joy to read.

Yay, thanks!

More people should play vanilla Jedi. It's a complex and interesting flavor, I swear!

Tethys was neat. She was a very Jedi classic type of character, but it felt like you made it unique to her. Was there ever a time you found yourself surprised by her thought process? Were there any moments she was tempted to be less than Jedi-ish about something in any of her games? I will absolute...

Thank you for the inter-character drama in this game! :D I never quite knew what was coming next until quite near the end of game in Tethys's scenes with Luth, and I really appreciated the chance to play straight-Jedi opposite your questioning Sith, as you know. One thing I actually have been wonder...

Durasay is one of the characters it's been the most interesting to see definitely maturing from game to game. It's neat.

Can I toss you the 'tell us about his babies' softball here?

Tethys: " Why exactly couldn't we recruit this guy, again? He's better than some of the actual Jedi..." She only interacted with Galen much after he'd found some degree of balance in his life, admittedly. Still, she'll definitely grieve him, as she came to know him later on. Actual question: I've wo...

You were by far the most stereotypical Jedi in this whole game, and I mean that in a complimentary way. Sometimes the classics work, and you made it work. Wish I had more scenes with you. Thank you! I really enjoyed RPing our interrupted poker (err, I mean Pazaak) game--that did give me the feeling...

Yes, Shelzais is unapologetically terrible. :lol: Here is how I proposed her epilogue to Dapper Dog: Shelzais will roam the galaxy trading on minor stardom and family money until she gets marooned on a desert planet by a jealous ex,or gets old somewhere writing snarky memoirs about her scandalous pa...

Tethys spends the war period doing a lot of Jedi Consular Things--evacuating and resettling civilians, negotiating supplies and support, investigating Zakuul infiltrators and quislings, and generally working to make sure the Republic member worlds and the Jedi don't lose their humanistic principles ...

Tethys nods. "I think it's the right idea. Whatever happens, the Order can help protect Luth's children. The rest... won't be easy, but none of this is going to be easy in any case, I think."

She looks to Thy for her reaction.

Empress Acklay salutes the end of the setting!

"Help people build a better life," Tethys says, simply. "Lives without needless suffering. Places where people can live in balance with one another, where no one needs to fall when someone else realizes her ambitions." "Also," she adds with a gently wry smile, "I'd like to have a sailboat of my own ...

She chuckled at that, tasting the kelp tea. "Honestly, it's not bad. I might look into finding some again at some point." "As for yesterday... I suppose I could go over it with a fine-toothed comb and pick out all the places I could have done things differently, but... that would help about as much...

"There are many kinds of strength." Tethys sighs and flicks her fingers one last time on the surface of the warm water, making a little splash and sending ripples on a gradual journey outward to the pool's far edges. She wipes her hand on her sleeve. "I have ambitions too, you know. We're not utterl...

Tethys is quietly present as well, since she seems to have become a sort of Gree liason officer, at least for the moment, Perhaps greater minds of Republic xenodiplomacy will take up the job when they all eventually rendezvous with the main fleet, but in the meantime Tethys might as well be the one ...

"As long as you expect it to be what it is, and not caf," Tethys agrees with a light laugh, finding two of the base's utilitarian mugs in her crate-shelf. "I suppose that's true of many things, come to think of it," she muses, pouring greenish-amber liquid from her insulated carafe into the mugs. "T...

(expecting!) Tethys's room in the barracks is as neat as she can make it. A shallow dish of water sits directly on the heating unit; even though the very slight effects of this makeshift humidifier cause a little condensation to gather on the chilly walls and floor, it still makes the room more comf...

Tethys tilts her head, brows drawing together curiously. "That's one of the pirate leaders, isn't it?" she asks Riss. "The Gree disclosed that they originally supported the White Maw in order to trap us here, earlier. A misunderstanding in communication styles." She winces. "Support since withdrawn,...

Ahhhhh, today was a lot of out and about and work social obligations plus regular work stuff, and posts just... didn't happen. And now I'm sleepy.

Apologies to people I've left hanging, I'll try to pick up properly after work tomorrow! I swear I have the tabs open and everything.

"Not all epiphanies are big ones," she says, the corner of her lips quirking just slightly. "Just... take care you're not reforging the same chains to wrap around yourself, all on your own." She paces closer to the warm pool, then crouches down on her heels to dip her fingertips in the water, as Dra...

Tethys's brows arc upward in surprise as the unexpected communication...or communion?--whatever it is takes hold. When the Gree withdraws its appendage, it takes her a moment or two to re-orient herself to her more accustomed form of verbal communication. "I think I see now why language has been so ...

"Mm." Tethys considers this as she sips her broth. "So... what will you do when you've rounded up all the adult strays on Alderaan? Train children there, instead of sending them to the Order?" There's something oddly comforting about discussing this hypothetical future, however potentially contentio...
