Silabus wants to come with us. He also apparently did voice to text on this e-mail and forgot to edit it, because the poor boy is extremely nervous.

22:32
it's the pink dog guy

archaeo 19-Mar-22 10:32 PM
no I know who Gaspard is
22:32
Gaspard is our bro who thinks this is just an MMO
22:33
and that maybe his friends are a little extra on the RP stuff
22:33
like c'mon guys

Shaiapouf 19-Mar-22 10:33 PM
Silabus is the one who was like "Haseo, Gaspard is saying he is stuck in an MMO, that's crazy, right?" and then we gaslight them
Avatar
archaeo 19-Mar-22 10:33 PM
I will be honest, if I found out that my friends were all saving the world and doing important stuff and I just thought they were like, having MMO fun
22:33
I'd be mad

let me in on the nonsense

at least Pi agrees with you
22:37
that's actually all there is on the scene. "Fuck off, I'm just afk at the warp gate." If you ask him more he just gives you some typically cryptic advice
Image attachment
22:38
by something more he means "A bitchin scythe"
22:39
The quest itself has some basically meaningless flavor text where some old man asks me if I doth desire greater power.
Image attachment
22:39
extremely amusing dialog from this weird old man NPC
Image attachment
22:40
Haseo is as confounded by the quest flavor as I am
Image attachment
22:40
looking at this screenshot, perhaps the reason you forgot about Silabus is that he's always blocked by gaspard. food for thought (edited)

the dungeon goes without incident for a while. We get a scene of Silabus starting a conversation

helpfully recapping the time they bumped into Haseo right after he was deleveled by tri-edge

it's kinda interesting that they actually are exploring the growing rift between Haseo, who sees his time on the world as actively trying to save people he cares about, and his not looped in friends, who think they are literally just gaming.

and haseo is just a kind of intense guy

I should emphasize something here actually
23:03
those without epitaphs literally can't even see epitaph battles, or even a lot of the AIDA shit that happens
23:03
except the black dot stuff
23:03
so this literally functions under Stand rules
23:04
so people like Alkaid or Silabus, who are close to pretty significant plot events, have only a vauge idea that something inexplicable happened
Avatar
archaeo 19-Mar-22 11:04 PM
I did forget that aspect of it
Avatar
Shaiapouf 19-Mar-22 11:04 PM
this is why Alkaid was so angry about Vol 1, because she was getting pushed around by something she couldn't really understand, and why Silabus is just vaugely supportive.
Avatar
archaeo 19-Mar-22 11:04 PM
araki is such a coward for never even playing with that aspect of stands
23:04
it's just an excuse for him to not worry about it

Shaiapouf 19-Mar-22 11:05 PM
he did a little bit in part 5 actually

honestly while it is comically edgelordy, it does feel like a bit more thought was put into it than the 2nd form costume, which feels thrown together
23:56
all the other forms haseo has are on a bunch of marketing and both first and third form shows up in the anime
23:56
so I prefer it
