23:44

and Azure Orca...falls over dead

23:44

killed by...azure Orca.

23:44

same for balmung

23:44

23:45

Then Azure Balmung and Orca turn back into blue lights and fly away

23:45

and tri edge shows his face

23:45

and then vanishes

23:45

23:46

hooray?

23:46

23:47

23:48

Uncle Tengu appears to have come to some sort of decision, but it's not clear what

23:48

and he too, was watching

23:48

and has his own words

23:49

Sirius wakes back up as himself

23:49

Endrance responds

23:49

23:50

A lot going on here!!

23:51

So, Atoli's epitaph power has the power of mirage

23:51

Using that power, AIDA created the whole AIDA server--literally, an illusory server

23:52

and illusions of Azure Orca and Balmung--whoever or whatever they are

damn

23:52

that sounds like a good power

AIDA at least has put it to very good use

23:53

Pi is now confounded. It's pretty clear that Tri-Edge's faction is not AIDA

23:53

and they aren't Epitaph users

23:53

so then, what, exactly, are they?

23:53

and most importantly,

23:53

23:54

haseo has a thought

23:54

pi: What do you mean?

23:54

Endrance:

23:54

23:55

Haseo: "I guess it won't do any good to question myself now"

23:55

and everyone goes their separate ways

23:55

23:56

haseo: oh god damn it

23:56

23:57

and atoli goes with him

23:57

we'll stop there.

google says negimaru means "Green onion circle"

23:59

I dunno about the circle part, but negi seems to be green onion or leek, so it's probably a joke about his dumb hair

:\

00:15

weird vibes

00:15

guessing the Plot Is On The Way

00:15

/ it is clearly time for just like, The World's biggest douchebag to do whatever he's doing

00:16

it doesn't require an incredibly close reading to see that heel turn coming up

00:16

it's not even a heel turn, he's just waiting to make it obvious

What, you accuse Sakaki of nefarious deeds? Honest, Honest, Sakaki?

I think it's exciting how rancid he is

00:17

it'll be good to beat him

00:17

/ I bet he's going to do something just really awful

It is good to get someone to just really hate

Big Kefka At Doma vibes

most people we fight are sympathetic to one level or another

not Sakaki

and Ovan is too...Frustrating to really hate him for the shit he pulls

Ovan you just want to shake

00:18

Ovan is a glasses guy who needs shaking in a long anime lineage

00:18

Johji, Citan

this is maybe a spoiler but

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

GU does feel like it is premised on the concept of "what if you could just shake Citan Uzuki until he stopped being like that"

00:19

so like

00:19

stay tuned on that front

ovan does remind me of johji

a lot

WOW

dang

00:29

but I get it

Shaiapouf

stay tuned on that front

really excited for this

00:29

definitely a thing I've needed for decades now

I will say that

00:54

Probably the session after next is like

00:55

The reason I decided it was worth playing GU like this

00:55

With the thread and such

00:55

Please look forward to it

We arent at the ending yet, the way the game just immediately ends after the tournament in vol 1

01:07

But the final act is starting

01:08

And it's a doozy

CH: it's weird that Endrance didn't say anything about Balmung and Orca, but then again they weren't around a whole lot in IMOQ

And honestly, Orca and Balmung we're famous players. Basically anyone could comment on this, if the game really wanted to

It’s really weird no one does then

Happy Maria

google says negimaru means "Green onion circle"

-maru, as I recall, is a pretty standard male name ending

yall ready for some anime bullshit

21:54

I bet you are

21:55

this one is probably going to be fairly brief as far as Posts go, as it's a bit gameplay heavy and, frankly, The Calm Before The Storm

I treasure the small Posts as well as the long ones

today in fan art: Plushy Gabi

22:00

so, having said that this is gonna be brief

22:00

This next thing is gonna throw you for a loop

22:00

22:01

Here I need to pause an answer the obvious question: Who the fuck is this?

22:02

http://naomi.thewafflehouse.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/phyllo.jpg

22:03

So, Phyllo is a character from .hack//roots

22:04

He was basically a helpful sort of guy who was friendly with Shino, Ovan, and Haseo, even though he, himself, was not part of the Twilight Brigade

22:04

He sort of acted as a mentor and information broker, which was useful since the twilight brigade was most interested in exploring the rumors that floated around The World

who the fuck is phyllo

Happy Maria

who the fuck is phyllo

ty maria

22:05

Phyllo was also, as it turned out, a 62 year old man dying of cancer.

22:06

As the series goes on his condition worsens and, shortly after Shino went into a coma, he died.

22:07

It is said he is the only person who knew all of Ovan's secrets, and Phyllo's last scene in .hack//roots is him promising Ovan to take his secrets to the grave.

22:08

anyways, as you can imagine, Haseo is freaked out about receiving an e-mail from his dead friend, so lets find out what's up

22:09

Sidenote, everyone is online except for Atoli, who is Busy. I'm sure it's fine.

lol

22:10

at "ty maria"

22:10

anyway, yes, thank you, I want what this mysterious person has to give

also LMAO at the fucking area words

22:11

I love when they are so on the nose

wow

22:11

yes

anyways when we zone there Phyllo sends us a DM

22:12

Haseo voices this really well. Like, he is genuinely scared, hurt, and hopeful that his friend is maybe alive

22:12

anyways, we gotta hunt him down

I like Tall Guy, Short Guy, Spiky Guy

the three genders

eventually we uh...find him floating around?

22:19

he is semi-translucent, like a ghost

22:20

it's gonna be like this, I guess.

ugh

22:20

I promise

and he transforms into....a key?

if I ever haunt any of you, I am just going to be straightforward

who's

CONGRATS WE JUST STARTED THE ULTIMATE WEAPON SIDE QUEST, BITCHES

22:21

surprise motherfucker

22:25

anyways we find four more of them and, satisfied that we've finished his little scavanger hunt, phyllo sends us an e-mail. One can only imagine how Haseo is taking all this
